The fact that Leo can go literally anywhere on earth to be alone with his thoughts at a single moment’s notice is something that shakes around in my head all the time. Like, portals and teleportation are amazing and convenient abilities both in and out of battle, but they could also so easily be used to run away as well.

I don’t think Leo ever would, at least not most of the time. He loves his family too much, and is too dependent on their love and attention to cut himself off so suddenly like that, but it’s a very real possibility nonetheless.

It’s a good thing Leo’s overall temper is more on the mild side and he prefers going to his room or something to complete solitude, because it really is dangerous for a kid to have the ability to isolate themselves like that at their fingertips.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #and like #it doesn’t even have to be on purpose either #anything could happen where Leo goes out to travel real quick somewhere and suddenly he can’t get back #sure Donnie has the trackers but trackers only do so much when the one you’re tracking is across the globe #that one short of Leo ending up trapped hanging off the Eiffel Tower all alone when he’s still new to portaling #is actually a bit terrifying when viewed through a more serious adult lens #don’t mind me just doing what I like to do best aka think about Leo and his abilities #I’m still saying tho that his abilities make running away so easily #and he’s quite good at that #even if he’s physically there his MASK lets him run away from truly processing unwanted situations or conversations #imagine Draxum telling the boys about the other hidden cities and Leo takes it upon himself to go scout them out #and he does so going around and letting his bros know of the cities he finds here and there #only to end up in one that cuts off foreign mystic energy #like imagine being suddenly cut off and alone #this ability can be SO USEFUL up until it’s cut off midway and suddenly uh oh it’s horrifying

#i was fully going to just wrangle my way through life for another 39 years when my friend said to me: #you are gay and we want you to submit art for the pride art show. but i hasn’t drawn at all since last year so i made a new comic from scr #i was also having one of the worst times of my life all of the past week but every night after sobbing into a friends shoulder or wtv #i’d sit down and draw. and then today i locked myself in the basement for 5 #hours and now he is finished. trans allegory or whatever #happy pride #world is horrible so hold the people you love close #i am trying . succeeding? not really but definitely trying #i have gone now through the 5 stages of grief. 1) eat food 2) eat food 3) hit rock 4) hit rock 5) give up #i Give Up. i give up by living my life without giving a fuck #which is like. actually giving down. or taking away down #idk anyway #i hope you’re well i’m HANGING ON BY A THREAD. BUT A GOOD THREAD #and to my lgbsbfk homies: i love you #my art

The idea that some people still think Nesta’s main traits are supposed to be bitchy, mean, and a hater…idk what to tell you but the whole point of her healing journey is to not be those things because all it did was hurt everyone around her and herself.

#nesta archeron #nessian #she herself thought it was wretched of her to behave this way because of her unhealed trauma #that she’s STILL working through #SHE didn't like being that way. #sometimes it's strange to see how people will glorify those traits of hers like it’s a good thing. #it’s not. that’s the whole point of acosf #why reduce her to some of her worst moments? #let her grow damn it #she can be a badass while not being an asshole #especially to the people who love her #and I’m not inviting hate or rude comments with this post. #if you’re not going to polite - save it. I’m not going to argue with you #and before any of you get offended thinking this is about you #it's not lol. #It's something I've seen more on instagram/tiktok than here but still see it and it's weird. #She can be firm and stand up for herself and a warrior and all those amazing things without reducing her to just being a bitch lol. #gp #random monday thoughts #I love my girl Nesta SO MUCH but she's so much more than her mean girl moments. #also knock it off with the weird cassian hate #he's the love of her life and her literal soulmate #'she's better off without him' #actually no she isn't lol. he's one of the MAIN reason she's able to get better and help herself #have some nuance and calm down lol

I have this one leatherjacket (my dad’s old one lol, very oversized on me but hoping in a cool way) that I’ve been meaning to take the shoulder pads out bc I’ve got enough shoulder as is & fits weird with those. But guess when do I decide to do it?

A) when I have ample freetime

B) when I have a very non-negotiable important deadline in a few days that I’m already behind on

#if you guessed B you’re correct #it’s 5:30am on sunday I haven’t slept bc I have to get this thing done today but yes this is a priority for sure #also like it’s not a quick process bc gotta sew it back together by hand bc obv I don’t have a sewing machine (I’m not that art&crafty of a #person) #(thinking I’m gonna go through the pocket and just sew the pocket back up bc seems the safest and one of the pockets is already ripped so #would have to sew it anyways) #WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHY CANT I JUST DO THE THING IM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #but like it’s a good leather jacket and I don’t want to miss my chance to wear it this year #but sTILL #it could wait a week #but nnOOO IT COULD NOT NEED JACKET NOW SAYS BRAIN #april 2024 #2024

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

#hazbin hotel spoilers #that’s not even touching on the fact that husk was an overlord too #he also owned souls that he used as currency to supply his gambling addiction #he’s also not a good person!! #the majority of these characters are in hell for a reason: they’re not good people #i quite frankly love the way this show blurs the lines between good and evil #our heroes are sinners and overlords and demons. while the enemies are angels. but that doesn’t mean our heroes are good people. #you HAAAVE to come to terms with that!! you have to stop seeing the world in black and white or you’re not going to survive this world #if you’re upset because alastor was cruel to husk fine! be upset! but explore why you’re taking yourself out of that world. #in this world sinners own other people. there’s no ifs ands or buts #‘oh alastor is a poc why would he own people’ he was a serial killer when he was alive do you really think you can apply your values to that #(and this is me speaking as a poc. specifically a mixed race poc.) #i cannot speak to who vivzie is as a person. but i’m interested in the message she’s writing and thus far i’m finding it compelling #it’s a similar story as the good place but it’s going the distance to explore even worse people than those in the good place #i don’t think it’s responsible to write something off just because unsavory things happen in it. #and she’s giving us so many different types of representation that don’t involve race (although we’re also getting a lot of hispanic rep) #just like cool your jets and maybe process some of the anger you’re feeling. and maybe nothing will change. #but if you act. instead of react. if you understand why you’re feeling some type of way and then make a choice. #that’s so much stronger and more responsible than reacting and not thinking anything through #hazbin hotel #alastor #husk #hazbin alastor #hazbin husk #anyway let me get off my soapbox #long post

Sweet things from an otherwise brutal week:

—ran into a parent who saw me and said “Macbeth right now, right? My son is so excited about it” and when I say I would never have ever guessed that. Except that as soon as he said it I was like oh yeah, he’s been volunteering to read more than usual and looks the smallest bit more awake

—I was doing some basics of writing review with my sophomores and touched on the ‘don’t use first person pronouns’ rule and we were talking about why and then Jane Eyre popped into my head so I told them that first person pronouns could be used to great effect in fiction and quoted the “reader I married him” line and two girls GASPED in wonder and delight. It was the CUTEST

—I passed two 7th graders in the hallway and they were talking about chicken nuggets and I said “I LOVE chicken nuggets” and they started to laugh and as I left I heard one of them say ‘I love Miss K.’

#I would also add that when I taught my 8th graders the word evocative one of them raised their hand and was like ‘hey is that what happens #to the food critic in ratatouille’ #and I was so delighted that then we watched that scene for 10 minutes #but my anxiety won’t leave me alone about that choice #lol #so #teaching tag #anyway just recording. also faith if you’re reading this this is why your ask last night made me cry and was perfect timing #😭😭😭😭😭😭 #anyway the chicken nuggets moment made me spiral a little bit because I was like ‘what if that’s the only reason anyone likes me’ #‘and I’m not actually a good teacher’ #also also. the Macbeth student has been going through a brutal time lately and I think this is part of turning a corner #so that makes me so happy #anyways sorry this is ALL the details but just trying to get it all out

[salparadiselost]

Some times I read my old writing and I’m like “wow this is crap” sometimes I read my old writing and I’m literally blown away like holy shit how did it do this

#kay speaks #if you’re wondering #what the good stuff is #it’s Leviathan #from the demon au #like holy shit #it’s good! #some things I wish I could rework a bit but #that story is such a banger #in related news #Ive written 800 words of the next chapter #so as i always say #none of my wips are completely dead #also I might post some snippets #i was going through my old docs #i have some just drabble things #that people might wanna read #while I scramble to remember all my lore

[hawkeyeslaughter]

white knuckling the bathroom sink and summoning whatever strength i need to get through the late captain pierce

#genuinely love it it’s one of my favorite episode but GOD it’s not an episode i can just sit down and watch #the had hawkeye going THROUGH IT in the first few episodes of season four for NO REASON. 😭😭 #his best friend fucking dies his bf leaves he doesn’t get to say goodbye he’s being tortured by frank the entire time a New Guy comes in to #replace said best friend while he’s STILL MOURNING HIM and new guy seemingly has a stick up the ass ; hawk gets a new bsf / bf depending on #your pov so at least that’s SOME good then WHAM everyone thinks ur dead and you can’t even call your father to tell him that you’re not #evil #why did they hate him so much 😭😭 he was just a silly guy #mash #mashposting #m*a*s*h #mash 4077 #mashblr #hawkeye pierce #hawkeye

[napping-sapphic]

hmmm but that moment when you’re lonely when you suddenly remember there’s hundreds of other lonely people in this world and suddenly it feels just a little easier to breathe

#when you sit alone in your room thinking about everyone else sitting alone in their rooms #when you know inherently that they’re out there getting through their lives just the same as you #when you’re lying on your bed and realize someone out there is lying the exact same way as you thinking the same thoughts #idk im feeling a way rn #because im so lonely but so so NOT at the same time #because i have a whole world around me #lying in bed thinking the same thoughts i had at 13 and the world has changed so MUCH and it’s only going to change more #and it’s going to be so BAD and so GOOD and so TERRIFYING and so EXCITING #ughhhhh ignore me this doesn’t make sense or it does i dont know #you’re all out there so so many of you #and how can i be lonely when i know at least one of you will read this and intimately know what it means #im going crazy #someone needs to take my phone away when i wake up from naps so i can’t make these posts anymore #which - by the way - the nap slapped #and the pondering of the world just so happens to also slap #apparently

[archduke-enver-gortash]

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

#thinkin too much about gortie side characters again. #sally this time and why she specifically talks about him the way she does #like dravo is obviously still shitty but to me he was. ‘just ‘neglectful #while sally actively hated and even felt terrorised by her own child #like. it’s not like i don’t understand her at all. #imagine you and your love don’t have much besides each other and your shop and you get pregnant and ready to raise a child #only for it to not be a child he didn’t and doesn’t cry ever and he learns everything so much sooner than most but then he never calls you #his parents and it’s not just a petty thing kids do sometimes you feel that he doesn’t see you as family and the worst part is that you #agree deep down #and as he gets older he doesn’t have any friends and actively rejects the notion of the entire concept #but then as time passes you hear about how he has entire groups of children following him and then several of them commit suicide #and that thing coming to sit with you and dravo at the dinner table says that he did what you did last week when the axe to chop wood broke #and you discarded it and got a new one #and he has these habits of ripping out flowers and making sure that they don’t regrow #and then you hear rumours about a friend’s daughter’s cat disappearing and think nothing of it #until you visit his tree house a month later and find a declawed cat and birds with clipped wings and crushed bugs that he keeps fondly #and then you see him with other children and they don’t know and his face is different and body language is entirely different #and were it not for the fact that you know better you would never see anything but a normal child #and you know that you are one who painstakingly brought this thing that should not be into the world and so you decide to end it all one da #and go to him as he’s asleep with the knife shaking in your hand #but he cries when you’re above him! screams at the top of his lungs! #so you beg for forgiveness even though you don’t deserve it through tears but as soon as the knife is put away you see the act drop and fee #his clever fingers having twisted your brain inside and out and you know that you can do nothing #and so the opportunity arises to at least remove him out of your life if not everyone’s lives and you take it immediately. #but you heard him talk. how he will close his fist around the world one day. and you know that it is not a matter of if but when. #like. imagine that. jesus dude. #like i hc her as someone that is messy and does not know a lot about life and she certainly wouldn’t have been a good mother but the love #or at least desire to love is there somewhere. and believing that having a child is really the only somewhat meaningful thing she can do #with her life. she’s not some hero or rich or anything of note. so there’s a lot obligation and not genuine desire for family here. #but she never really got the chance to be an actual mother in the first place so. who knows what that might have looked like

And He’s Yours

b.r.b. for my bee 💗 @bradshawsbaby

Sometimes

Your job

Its days and weeks

Demand and take

Leaving you empty

Tired

And aching to your bones

Your mind and heart

Just as drained

Just as sore.

But when you’re home

And he’s home

He’s yours.

You drop away the day

Purse

Work junk

Other metaphorical baggage

The front door closes

Shuts

Solidly behind you

Closing out the world

Life with its demands

Is unwelcome here.

You’re home

And he’s home

He’s yours.

His frame

Tall

Broad

Strong and safe

Fills the kitchen doorway

Almost to overflowing

Spilling toward you

On his eager steps.

Jet-calloused hands

Reach for you

Arms fold you in

And he’s home

He’s yours.

Some sweet name for you

Sighs from his lips

Over yours

Before they’re his

By right of capture.

No happier prisoner

Is there

In your mouth.

His kiss tastes of tenderness

Of peppermint and sweat

Hints of strawberries.

And he’s home

He’s yours.

The night will go on

All soothing sweetness

Dinner

Wine

The yellow roses on the table.

Your laugh he adores

His curls falling loose.

A soak in the tub

Limbs tangled

Bodies close

Hot and bubbly and unhurried.

Maybe he’ll sing to you

Soft and loving.

And it’s good

Perfect

Just what you need.

But

Your favorite

The best part

Is

Him

And you

That’s Home

You are his

And he is yours.

10/10 manga for pulling a “we’ll defeat you with the power of friendship!!” “That’s… incredibly ignorant of you. I’m significantly more powerful, whether or not you have friends won’t impact this fight”

#this IS the best manga I stand by that forever #I know I vaguepost about it every few months but it just. keeps getting better #I am so emotionally invested in this #[spoiler]’s really out here being like “you fools. I am all powerful. Your group of like 8 friends cannot harm me” #He is genuinely such an interesting and compelling character #Such a unique character #honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character like him in any media #Admittedly he’s not my favorite character. Not even my favorite in this manga. #But he’s just so strikingly unique #Just. The whole character progression of bullied outcast with a heart of gold —>dead(?)—> jk not really—>minor antagonist—> main antagonist #And you absolutely never see it coming #Because when he’s reintroduced as a minor antagonist you’re like “oh that’s interesting. That’s an interesting little twist” #And then as the story progresses and things become more and more intense #And suddenly HE’S the one who’s hunting the protagonists HE’S the one who’s actively trying to kill them #For those unfamiliar with this I feel like it’s important to clarify there was never some betrayal twist #As in he was genuinely a really good person at the start #And it’s a very very gradual shift #Because even when he’s reintroduced as an antagonist it’s all very understandable on his end #He’s a good guy he’s been through a lot but is making the best of his circumstances #Until he isn’t until things go too far #Just auuughh it;s so good

“Oh, you’ll fall” Thelma replied nonchalantly, as if that was somehow comforting “Quite embarrassingly, probably. And quite painfully at least a few times.”

“Ah. Well. ” Matthew cleared his throat uncomfortably, the mild sense of impending doom steadily building. “I suppose we best be going then?” 

Thelma smiled up at him, a darling sort of smile, the type that lit up half the room, so genuinely happy that Matthew decided whatever happened in the next hour - no matter how disastrous and or embarrassing - it would be worth it for that smile on his sister’s face.
