#I get you’re trying to be nice

[turtleblogatlast]

Mikey and Leo episode centered around Mikey wanting to push Leo and Draxum together since Leo’s the most reluctant to give Draxum any grace (for good reason!) But, thinking on the spot, Leo says he’s gotta go do something for Hueso and “just can’t hang out right now 😔” (yes, he says the emoji out loud.)

Mikey calls his bluff and now the three of them (Mikey having grabbed a weary Draxum along) go to Hueso’s to find that yes, he actually does have a job for him. Said job asks for Leo to go with Hueso to deliver multiple pizzas to this giant yokai quite a distance away, and Hueso figured it would probably go better with Leo’s help (emphasis on probably.)

Well, Mikey decides that this would be a great bonding opportunity for them and basically invites he and Draxum along. Unfortunately for Leo, Hueso doesn’t care enough to wave away more help, though he does side-eye the wanted criminal Baron Draxum coming with them. But who is he to judge? (This choice has consequences.)

The journey goes about as terribly as you’d expect, but at least the pizzas get delivered on time.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt leo #rottmnt draxum #rottmnt hueso #listen you don’t understand #imagine mikey trying to get leo to accept draxum as a father figure only for this to push leo to purposefully turn to Hueso instead #idk I love when this accidental flaw of Mikey’s is explored and I think it meshes well with Leo’s own AND fits nicely with their dynamic #100% this ends with Leo & Hueso bonding and Mikey & Draxum bonding and Mikey & Leo bonding and even Hueso & Mikey a bit #but notably only a little Draxum & Leo - because it’s important that Leo isn’t forced to accept him imo #Leo realizing during all his denials of Draxum that oh you know who he DOES think of as family? Hueso #Draxum is trying mainly for Mikey’s sake #Hueso is too tired to care about all this family drama but is reluctantly worried about Pepino #Mikey just wants one big happy family because - that’s just easier y’know? #he tries so hard to work with everyone’s emotions that he just wants things to be easy for once #he wants love and family to be easier than it is - than has BEEN lately #gimme that heart to heart Mikey & Leo moment in this regard #by the end Leo DOES raise Draxum up a bit from ‘complete distrust’ to ‘mild side-eye’ #but it’s a long ways off if he ever gets pushed into the family tier #and also #SO MUCH SLAPSTICK COMEDY and sarcastic comedy in this episode fr #and if you’re wondering- #yes they DO fight the Yokai monster they’re delivering the pizzas to #but they get paid so it’s whatever #kinda wanna attempt to copy the style of the show and make fake screenshots of this ‘episode’ ngl

I came up with an idea for a fic that I’m calling the six seeds au

Will is a dumbass and skips off to the underworld alone to bring Jason back for Nico. he can’t bring Jason back but he strikes a deal with Hades that will link his soul to Jason’s and partially bind him to the underworld, so Will spends six months of the year in the underworld while Jason is in the world of the living, then they switch for the next six months. so, similar to Persephone. or Dumuzid and Geshtinanna in Mesopotamian mythology. Will eats six pomegranate seeds to seal the deal, hence the name of the au.

now obviously this whole “I only get to see Will and Jason for half the year and never at the same time” thing wouldn’t be ideal for Nico and of course he’s upset with Will for doing something so reckless and sacrificial. but the real problem is that Will cannot survive in the underworld. it’s draining him more and more every day. there’s no way he’s even going to make it to the end of his first six months. and since his soul is now tied to Jason’s, this means that Jason is dying, too.

so Nico has to march up to his dad like “hey wtf” and Hades might regret not taking into consideration that Will’s a little Sun baby and can’t survive in the underworld and he might feel bad for doing this to his son so he might let slip that maybe a certain cure (one Nico may be familiar with) could break Will from the vow to stay in the underworld for half the year.

so now Jason and Nico have to go on a quest to get the physician’s cure. and Jason is dying because Will is dying. also maybe Will is sometimes in Jason’s head adding commentary through their soul bond because I think that would be funny.

and uhhh yeah that’s all I’ve got for now but idk I think this fic sounds fun so maybe I’ll come back to this

#ONCE AGAIN….a plant themed name #trying to decide if Jason/Will counts as two people or if they need a third member of the quest #I haven’t figured out the relationship dynamics for this au yet #considering that Will and Jason are literally soulmates I think it’s probably polyamory though #would be hilarious if Will’s in the underworld watching the quest through Jason’s eyes like. for real? I signed off half my life so you guys #could get together and you guys aren’t doing anything?!! #so he’s always whispering suggestions in Jason’s head like ‘you should tell him he looks nice today’ #then Jason says ‘Will says you look nice today’ and Will is like. JASON. #(Jason frowning) Nico: ‘what’s wrong?’ Jason: ‘Will’s calling me an idiot’ Nico: ‘stfu Will you’re the one who got us into this’ #six seeds

Discussion on the Great Gatsby and I guess I overestimated the open-mindedness of my classmates bc like… the response when i said “so do y’all think Nick’s kinda got smth for Gatsby” was Interesting. They seemed shocked, as if Nick is Not a bisexual man. (This guy legit can’t choose anything, he’s non-confrontational, describes women and men kind of equally in both appearance and Vibes, and come ON that scene w/ the ellipsis (commonly used for fade-to-black sex scenes) and then HIM WAKING UP W/ MCKEE IN BED. HOMO 🫵🫵🫵.) Anyway. Nick/Gatsby/Daisy seemed to be the general ship consensus here

#the great gatsby #nick carraway #jay gatsby #bisexuality #nick carraway is a bisexual man truther #you cant fucking change my mind #bc im RIGHT #/hj #pls try to tho I wanna see other people’s perspectives #hey wouldn’t it be nice if nick had green eyes so the green light gatsby reaches for is really Nick— #what he wants #far across the lake #shining from the dock #is really right beside him #right in front of him #you’re smiling at him #he’s feeling more understood than he ever has #also gatsby totally has PTSD from the war and is using the parties to live vicariously through others #experiencing a microcosm of society as he can no longer experience it #and that’s as close as he can get #rambles #traggy’s shit

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

#storyrambles #it’s not creepy. just for context. it’s just irritating because I’ve told this person repeatedly that I’m not interested in romance. #this person is also naturally a huge romantic so it is next to impossible to tell whether it’s actual flirtation or just flirting for fun #flirting for fun is cool. I wouldn’t mind that. but if I do it once this person will take that as an invitation to do it an excessive amoun #but yeah after being given 12 roses out of the blue when I said ‘no don’t buy me flowers’. there’s only so many things that can mean #‘it’s nice to see your face you always cover it!’ …I’m masking. because of covid #I’m narrating a game and suddenly ‘I like hearing your voice I should call you every day so I can hear it for 10 minutes’. …no. #‘you have to take the snack I brought you know it’s rude to refuse a gift’ I have never refused a gift. It is rude. But also I didn’t ask. #‘you know this game is one you can play without talking so we can play more often!’ we already play games once a week for usually 3 hours. #‘but it’s not talking so it’s less social energy’ no. that is not how it works. #sorry for the rant im just. tired. #you know those people who are so pleasant to hang out with and then they try way too hard #and that’s actually what makes things awkward? rather than when they’re just being themselves? #yeah. that’s this friend here. #usually I go along with the bit but when I can never tell when the bit is actually a bit #and you insist on me taking on the ‘girl role’ for most of them #I am not going to play along. #UGH don’t get me started on the ‘you’re cute when you’re flustered’ #I wasn’t even flustered. I was trying to do mental math while running on four hours of sleep and he was staring directly at me #it’s uncomfortable. #also. I never want to hear that again. fuck. ‘you’re cute when you’re angry’ ‘you’re cute when you’re upset’ ALL THE FUCKING TIME AS A KID #will I be so cute after I kick you in the nuts? will I? #(for clarity I don’t want to kick him. I want to kick those other people.) #I need a lot of alone time. I really do. I can do 3 hours and then I will be drained for the rest of the day. #‘how did you grow up? did you not talk to your mom for more than 3 hours a day?’ #first of all. that’s different? #secondly we actually regularly do separate things without talking to each other. or go in separate rooms to take some time to ourselves #also I don’t have to be on high alert for if I’m going to be flirted with. so. #ugh. I like him as a friend. I really do. I know this all makes it seem like the opposite. I try so hard to be as nice as possible. #but UGHHHHHH

[your-mom-friend]

I can’t get over Kageyama Ritsu…everyone says he’s the more popular, more attractive and cool Kageyama Brother but literally every scene of him at school ever is him avoiding anything that’s not School Council and not talking to anyone or so much as SMILING at anyone. He’s literally Mob if mob styled his hair.

Like honestly Mob and Ritsu are the SAME amount of socially awkward but the issue is that Mob is just more blunt and WILL say he’s not enjoying your company and leave (he’ll try to be polite but it’ll fall flat) but Ritsu is Bound By This Mortal Concept of Social Politeness and wouldn’t just say that to people’s faces so everyone thinks he’s the nicest guy when in fact he’s been hoping to spontaneously learn invisibility for the last half hour

Like that time Tsubomi came to Spirits and Such did you see his face he wasn’t even as intense fighting for his life against Claw as he was hiding from her lmao

Ritsu acts like he’s completely chill but is in fact a pathetic loser (affectionate). He calls his brother Nii-San. He hates Reigen with all the hate in his heart. He found the kid that kicked his ass when he was kidnapped and then let him into his home. He let that guy burn his house down for kicks. He became best friends with that kid. He keeps a spoon in his pocket. He can and will kill people if he feels like it. He got psychic powers and immediately became a villain about it for like 3 whole minutes before getting his ass humbled. He’s literally 13 and it makes everything about him 300% better.

#rem rambles #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #mp100 ritsu #kageyama ritsu #on that note #mp100’s best quality is its portrayal of middle schoolers #like yeah these kids are absolutely in middle school #they’re awkward and dumb and arrogant and scared and young and full of rage #they will do the dumbest most impulsive things and it will have no lasting effect on their character #but the smallest things will #like Ritsu was a villain and was like brother I don’t care about you anymore #and Mob was like okay bet and then he won. Ritsu was so full of shit #when Koyama(?) was trying to grab Ritsu and Mob went after him Ritsu was like oh. lol. nice knowing you ugly you’re gonna get your ass beat #he immediately became best friends with the guy that burned down his house #to the point where that guy refers to mob as Ritsu’s Brother like that’s the most important part

I don’t think randomly dming strangers asking them to commission you is a good idea…

#it’s at least not at all practical because you’re putting people on the spot #and you’re already asking for their money #someone just did that to me like #it’s fine ppl are trying to get paid whatver #but when you do this what do you expect to happen… that the other person will just say ‘sure I’ll buy from you’ out of nowhere??? #like just make a post and tag it/ask ppl if they could share it instead #not ‘commission me ^^?’ like it’s a little… lol #it’s nice to be bold and confident though that’s good and there’s nothing wrong with that #I know that it is hard for artists to advertise their work especially if they aren’t popular online #and you have to bank on people actually sharing your shit in the first place #it sucks so bad #deviantart used to be so good when it came to looking for commission work #I haven’t tried to use the forums in years but it still looks to be thriving #outside of the AI shit #in the forums on DA you could advertise your work to potential clients looking for artists to draw their ocs and stuff #they’ll usually send you a note if interested #rambling

tried to get nice things for myself. 1 dead 3 injured

#that voice inside my head saying: you’re not worthy of nice things!!! #that other box is inside my head saying: you’re incapable of feeling joy so getting nice things will only be a reminder of that and how the #illusion of nice things is better than the reality of them due to your absolute emotional numbness so don’t even try #and another voice tiny tiny voice saying: things cost money #it’s the same thing always always always i hate it #everyone showing me their little trinkets and their funky little internet ordered things and comfort items and i’m there like #wow i’d sure like to experience that kinda joy one day #but alas the depression and absolute apathy has infested every last cell of this being and the only outcome is repression #blah

i would be such a good boyfriend honestly

#I would get her gifts frequently #and have a trash can in my bathroom #ya know for periods and allat #speaking of periods #I would always have a box of pads or tampons under the bathroom sink if she forgets to bring some or whatever #and I would also be EXTRA nice to her and buy her chocolate on her period #and I would make sure to compliment her and tell her how much I love her everyday #like I would always make sure she knows she’s a wonderful fabulous gorgeous talented amazing perfect woman #I would also use a bunch of dumb pick up lines while we’re together #and some of the pickup lines would just be from songs she likes #if she likes Tyler the creator? “They should call you sugar cause you’re just so sweet” #if she likes MCR? “I just wanted you to know that the world is ugly but you’re beautiful to me” #etc #and everything she’s insecure of? #I would try my best to make sure she loves them #she has a bigger belly? #girl don’t be insecure of that it’s fuckin gorgeous and if anyone ever tells you otherwise then just call me up so I can bitch slap their #dumbass #I’m not even lying though #girls with bigger stomachs are so cute istg #or if she thinks she’s too tall? #more hight just means more skirt to twirl sister #but ima cis straight girl so idk

[brattybottomdyke]

i don’t understand commenting on a picture or a video of someone to tell them they don’t look good or attractive. like seriously…if you don’t like it, just scroll away

#this didn’t happen to me or anything btw #but i watched this like fb reel of a plus size girl trying on a wedding dress #she works in the bridal shop or whatever (i watch a lot of these videos okay) #and someone commented on it like oh it doesn’t look that good the cut isn’t flattering #like bro…i just don’t get it #didn’t your mom ever teach you that if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything?? #like what do you get out of that situation #congrats you’re most likely making someone feel bad about themselves #do you feel good about that? #bottom.spm

whyyy do some people flirt by treating you like a child

#what do you MEAN you were flirting when you said that to me #it was condescending babe!!! #hello naruto blog im here to complain about Dating™️ #i hate it and no one should do it #i KNOW a lot of flirting is being really nice to each other or sweet etc #but i just REALLY hate when people go too hard and verge into the babying territory #like i KNOW what you’re going for and i’m TRYING to be understanding and patient #but girl please CHILL #and treat me like an actual human adult for two seconds because good lord #i thought i already made it clear i wasn’t interested too but!! she keeps going!! #like why!! #pls leave me alone!!! #ughhhhhh #sorry #i am just Very Tired of this #and people being condescending or babying me just really gets on my nerves even when it’s not with bad intentions #flirting BAD sometimes #life junk #venting

[deityofhearts]

this is so funny

#deity dialogue #uhhhh #my basic deal is that like #I think I’m getting better at it I don’t try and befriend people I don’t like unless I have to (irl for work) #but like idk I’m terrified of everyone including (especially) my own friends hating me #I already do feel unwanted in these relationships especially given how past friendships have gone #but like Im doin my best like I genuinely like all the people I talk to #if you’re someone i talk to regularly or whatever I do like you #doesn’t change that I’m afraid you don’t like me #idk #Sandy just said she’s proud of me I’m gonna cry #like idk I use to be like really cheerful and peppy and nice and maybe I still am #but I have a problem with being a people pleaser and wanting to be liked so bad that I do it at my own expense #and I still do that (mostly irl and at work again) #but it’s tiring and it’s killing me and it’s caused me to be in a lot of painful toxic relationships and to also be a toxic person #and so I’m trying not to do that anymore like #idk just look at the funny screenshot #discord

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

#…this so is not a five sentence summary but ALSO this manages to perfectly align with something i was obsessed with (that media video) #like yeah is that pause reasonably a buffering time to a weird question? yes!!! do i want to read into it & make swayman a bit uncomfortabl #also yes!!! sorry i decided to give them tragique but they were assigned by spotify. the other option for this song was an ED fix-it fic #about healthy sex and learning that it can be a part of a normal relationship!! sex is weird and fucked up!! but like. that’s just because #i have always interpreted this song as a) unrequited best friend love & you’re worried you’re gonna fuck it up b) virgin who doesn’t know #what sex is and is scared to tell anyone and then option c) people pleaser keeps going along with it but can’t anymore #also OBVIOUSLY they end up fine. whether that ends up being jeremy finally telling linus (oblivious) i don’t want to do this with you #i need to get over you & them creating a platonic space & sway ends up with someone else OR linus has the oh. true. i simply never #considered that i could be gay for you option OR the one i have just invented but is now my favorite because i love a good polycule is that #linus & his wife simply add jeremy to their relationship. and then this song becomes jeremy scared to have sex with linus’ wife at first lo #liv in the replies #the interviews in that video doing the lord’s work fr but also that ‘do you not miss him’ feels SO uncomfortable. say no! but then he leans #in with the dirty jokes comment & i know i’ve made like eight variations already (sorry. that’s how my brain works) but it is soooo fun #to me personally if they are broken up but now have to act nice & keep doing all these rituals & sell us on the narrative & they’re just #trying to see who’s going to crack first. needle each other into laughing or getting irritated enough it shows through & the other one wins #do even more aggressive hug rituals!! get a medical warning from the athletic training staff!!!

Sometimes I think about how my parents are fine with watching things with portrayals of drug users, smokers, and murderers in them (not trying to equate substance use to murder, to be clear); but the second a male character even sounds mildly effeminate, they shut off the TV??? Because it’s a bad influence??!!?!

Like, my dudes…. According to your religion all of those people are from the world; all of them are sinning, and “voluntary” sin is a symptom of hereditary sin. According to your belief system, certain people are predisposed to certain types of sin, including homosexuality. Theoretically, you should react to us as you would any other sinner; but you don’t. Why are we so offensive to you that you would rather watch some poor astronaut die screaming and hemorrhaging on a dinner table than view a queer-coded character for more than twenty seconds??

#oh and it doesn’t help that my dad is *convinced* one of the elders is secretly gay #and he doesn’t feel comfortable around him because he thinks he likes him???? #I mean ?????? #the man’s an ELDER #if he is gay he’s suppressing it to maintain his position #which is more dangerous to him than it is to you #and gay people are allowed to like people of the same sex platonically dad #gay people existing in your general vicinity doesn’t mean they’re trying to get you or whatever the fuck you think they’re trying to do #ok? #the few predatory ones you’ve met are not the norm #you have no idea how many LGBT people you’ve met in your life #I am “family“ (in all senses of the word) and you haven’t noticed me #what makes you think you can tell who’s gay and who’s straight when you’re not aware of your own daughter? #I’m obviously not predatory towards women #(but the second they find out I’m lesbian again they’ll start questioning all the interactions with women and children I’ve ever had #THEN I’ll be a wolf in sheep’s clothing and not just a Nice Girl who has platonic acquaintances) #exjw #homophobia tw #ex cult #should I tell them that half the characters in Alien(s) are either queer-coded or canonically LGBT?? #lmao
