#I would love to see them team up

[turtleblogatlast]

Small but significant character moments that I actually really adore are from both the times we see the boys as tots. There is a reoccurrence that happens in both of them that I find so incredibly interesting.

For the turtle tot short, Splinter leaves the boys with weapons. In the short, Raph is the one who suggests they do “what Lou Jitsu would do” and Leo is the one who takes point when Splinter comes back to reprimand them. Leo, in taking point, is the one to defend them and get Splinter off their tails.

And then, in the flashback regarding the Kuroi Yōroi helmet, Raph is the one who grabs and throws “Skully” as a way to replace their missing ball which breaks it into pieces, but Leo is the one who speaks for the group and rushes into action to fix the teapot.

I love this for multiple reasons, but the biggest are how it shows that Raph has always been inclined toward the bold and fun and making the plans to include his brothers in what he loves and believes they’d love, whereas Leo has always been inclined to be the “Face” of the group and shoulder the attention even if it’s potentially negative all while coming up with on the spot attempts to fix the situation.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt raph #rottmnt leo #rise Raph #rise leo #I really do love this bit of character writing a ton #again it’s so small but like this is consistent! #little Raph just wanted to have fun with his bros 😭 #Leo immediately coming in with the save both times (and more - remember Bug Busters?) #I really love too how none of them pointed fingers like #it was Understood that Leo would speak for them #listen there’s a reason Leo is the Face Man and it’s NOT just because he’s got a pretty face #he can talk both himself and his fam out of situations and I wish we saw it even more because it’s amazing to witness #circling back to Raph his bold nature is something I ADORE about him but I don’t see it brought up a lot which makes me so sad #like this boy is a RAPHAEL he is bold!! #and it’s cute too how the other bros immediately go along with it too #imo the Raph in these tot flashback is the same Raph that glues them all together as a bonding exercise #side note but damn…Leo saves them from punishment in the tot short and immediately gets jumped 😔 #but yeah man I think a Lot about the little dynamics between the bros and how those dynamics could have first came into being #Leo being the face of the team and having been it since childhood- #-makes all the moments of immediately choosing to sacrifice himself when HE royally messes up all the more notable #if it’s one bro or the whole group individually he’s more chill about it but often still lets himself be the talker to get them out of it #he will do his damndest to get his brothers and himself out of trouble but once they’re in it he’s in the front with a smile #his own safety be damned #Raph is actually the same in that respect - he’ll jump into danger fists first but all bets are off when a brother is in danger #and like how Leo’s been the face - as the eldest Raph has been the de facto leader of sorts #he’s the one who is shown to make up their games! and I think that’s very cute #anyway their clashing in the movie is so interesting for a lot of reasons but one of them is that it shows how- #-even a longstanding dynamic like Raph and Leo’s that’s WORKED for so long is still susceptible to flaws…and to time

I think the thing that shocks me the most about the discourse, if you can even call it that, around book Alicent vs show Alicent, is the idea that people think book Alicent had full autonomy over all her choices and she wasn’t a “victim” like show Alicent.

Now first, I put victim in quotations bc the way people who do not like her have almost bastardized that word. Alicent is a victim, and those things (rape, abuse, neglect) were done to her. That says everything about the men who did that do her and nothing about her. But people are hellbent on throwing Alicent, a woman in a violently patriarchal environment, being victimized back at people as if it is moral flaw of hers. Which is just terribly ironic bc the same folks who say Alicent “did it to herself” or “deserves what she is getting” also seem to think the crux of the story isn’t about generational trauma catching up with itself, how far people will go for power, or even how all girls and women are harmed - albeit to different degrees. But more the fact that Rhaenyra is the only woman to be harmed - and the only harm done is not getting the throne easily. Those same people wouldn’t be caught dead admitting that Rhaenyra is also a victim in the way they shit on Alicent for being. From the father who sets her up fail, to the baby daddy that’s been eyeing her since she was barely 18, to the uncle that grooms her. It takes away from the fantasy projected onto Rhaenyra if she too is surrounded by men that use her and she never escapes that.

Second, it’s funny how F&B gets heralded by some as this exploration of how history is skewed depending on who is telling it. But people can’t read between the lines (you honestly don’t even have to do that much work) with book Alicent. Showing 14 year old Alicent being preyed on, 16 year old Alicent being pregnant with her second child, and 18 year old Alicent being raped is somehow the show needlessly making Alicent a victim. But reading about a 13 year old bathing, dressing, and taking care of a king who mistakes her for the daughter he abused and neglected, and then that same girl, at 18, marrying another king that killed his previous child bride is just girl bossism on book Alicent’s part?

People hate conceptualizing the idea that (even book) Alicent is caught in patriarchal trappings bc to some that takes away from Rhaenyra’s plight…. Bc they can’t wrap their heads around several women *gasp* all going through hardships, and that ultimately people will respond to trauma differently depending on tools/knowledge they have at their disposal. Alicent neither being gleefully evil nor picking herself up by her bootstraps to somehow end years of patriarchal violence is not the neat box they want for her.

#people want Alicent to gleefully be evil not bc it would be more interesting (newsflash it wouldn’t) #but so they can be justified placing her in the ‘evil woman’ category #bc to them their is only ‘good woman’ and ‘bad woman’ #but since the show doesn’t lineup perfectly with the woman they made up… they put her in the ‘weak woman’ category #bc the only thing worse for a woman than being a bitch is being perceived as passive in your demise #trust me I would have loved to see Alicent let Viserys rot and plot against him just as much as the next person #but please do not act like that wasn’t probably self preservation and trauma on book Alicent’s part #not her doing it for shits and giggles #and lbr the same people wishing the show went that route would’ve been the same people STILL shitting on her #pro alicent hightower #alicent hightower #pro team green #anti viserys i targaryen #anti targaryen #ok NOW I’m done lol #told myself no more of these lol

OKAY! Chatot rant in tags below! Read at your own discretion.

#okay starting from the beginning of where ppl usually dislike him. apple woods chapter. #he doesn’t give hero/partner the CHANCE to explain themselves despite them being relatively good recruits up until that point. #and that legit might be my only gripe with that chapter bc!!! stories need conflict! I LIKE the conflict in apple woods!!! #hero and partner being punished so something they didn’t do! #the misunderstanding! how team skull (Skuntank) actually outplays the main duo with a clever yet rotten trick. I LOVE that it segways into- #one of the more sweeter scenes of guild members looking out for eachother. I LIKE APPLE WOODS CONFLICT. #but chatot just. not giving them a chance. is so dumb. #I’d personally fix this by having a lil montage of hero/partner fucking up on jobs. A LOT. and chatot giving them a pass every time. #and let the perfect apple incident BE the one where he puts his foot down and doesn’t listen to them. bc he’d given them loads of chances. #and doesn’t want to hear any excuse. #but yeah. I legit dont mind him during that chapter except for that really stupid and frustrating moment. #NOW. CHAPTER 17. #UGGGGHHH WHERE DO I BEGIN #Him not believing hero and Partner about Grovyle and the future being in ruin? FINE. ACTUALLY GOOD. BC CHATOT WOULD BE SKEPTIC. #IT FITS HIS CHARACTER!! #BUT WHAT DOES SUCK. IS HIM GOING ‘Dusknoir isn’t the bad guy. he didn’t do anything wrong’ #WHEN HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED HERO AND PARTNER RIGHT I N F R O N T OF HIM. #(​NO LITERALLY. HIS CHARACTER IS IN THE FRONT ROW WHEN IT HAPPENED.) #and him. having the GALL to tell hero and partner they must’ve been ‘seeing things’ and downplaying the HELL they went through. #despite them being missing for hours/days. his own guild recruits. and his angry sprite showing up. #like. I think that’s when I genuinely despised him. #that and him going ‘OH I BELIEVED YOU THE WHOLE TIME HEEHOO :)’ shit was so fucking annoying. #just playing it off as a joke the second the guild started to believe hero and partner. #IMAGINE IF HE W A S ACTUALLY TESTING THE GUILD’S TRUST. SHOWCASING HIM AS THE MORE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL RIGHT HAND OF THE GUILD. #and yes. Brine cave he saves hero and partner. but at that point I just didn’t care anymore. #he fucked those two over so much. that I didn’t care what ‘valiant’ sacrifice he had. #and he grills Team Skull for what they did OFF SCREEN. they couldn’t even give us THAT. #<<< THAT or him outright saying sorry would’ve been nice. IKIK his ‘actions’ or whatever but. #eughh again this is all imo. I’m not trying to make people hate him or change their mind. #I’ll get into positives in the second post cause I’m running out of tags

Hey here's three minutes of Plane Jane and Katya vibing/flirting you're welcome

#dont worry I'm still team trixie #but i'm so here for Katya having a young hot cunty bf who is into all the shit he is into #plane jane #katya #katya zamolodchikova #katya zamo #the bald and the beautiful #tbatb #the brians #CJ post #drag race #rupaul's drag race #also jane is my GIRL #out here making drag race for the gays again #we love a mean gay #it was so great to watch someone get excited over Katya's special interests #it was also so cute to watch jane get giggly as the episode went on too #these two speaking russian and katya instinctively grabbing at him and jane knowing all this stuff about him #because is he a katya fan #yes yes he is #you know they fucked after this #or have since then #because mama jane was throwing out some power bottom vibes at him and god almighty them fucking would be so hot #but also Jane's face lighting up when katya asks him to go see loboda with him #and maybe this all made miss trix alil jelly #good incentive if it did #flirting via reading #we love to see it #the flirty little “well now I like you” at the end 🥵

#p4 #p4g #persona 4 #persona 4 golden #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #ok i love seeing the IT gang up on him its my soft spot #but also this is the kind of scene i was talking about prev #about how dunking on your friends is itself intended to be a demonstration of your closeness #yosuke's trying to make teddie feel better about himself but then he ends off his remarks with a joke #as he tends to do to diffuse tension! by being light hearted and playful #im not sure if naoto was intentionally playing into the joke here considering how new into the team they were but rise definitely was #i think a lot of Yosuke's jokes tends to take on the tsukkomi-and-boke kind of routine. #although yosuke frequently plays the tsukkomi/straight man by calling out his friends' weird logic during comedic scenes #in this scene i think rise (and naoto)'s quick reaction is very similar a tsukkomi follow up #so its not just a matter of ribbing on yosuke but also them knowing his humour well enough to follow up #and that makes me so happy because the more tragic more isolatory thing. would be for him to he ignored entirely. #he's good with his queue

Headcanon: When they're around people they're very comfortable with, both Naoto and Kanji will infodump about their interests if it comes up. Naoto would pretty much recite an essay about the history of the murder mystery genre if allowed. Kanji would go on for hours about how to properly clean various types of fabrics.

In addition, the two will happily just chat for long periods of time about random subjects if it overlaps with both of their areas of interest, even if they're discussing different facets. Kanji might know more about the technical or aesthetic aspect of a subject, and Naoto might talk about the history or cultural origin of a subject. They'd both find each other's different perspectives interesting (even if Kanji doesn't understand some of Naoto's vocabulary).

The others in the Investigation Team can't quite keep up the same way that they can and that's fine, but if someone DARES call Naoto's interests stupid, Kanji WILL fight them, and vice versa with Naoto defending Kanji's interests.

#persona 4 #naoto shirogane #kanji tatsumi #kannao #p4 #maybe i can see those two as just a little neurodivergent #the rest of the team would have normal small talk while they're taking breaks in the tv world #and kanji and naoto are having an in-depth discussion about the merits of crayfish #they'd think kanji wouldn't be able to keep up with naoto in conversation but he knows a surprising amount #just not conventional information #and that only enamours naoto more because its new information to them! they get to hear something they don't know! they get to learn #plus kanji's already smitten with naoto. he'd absolutely love just listening to them talk about the things that they love

So uh. Eventually I'll stop drawing these guys so obsessively but not today I guess.

(DND AU where it's just these two, Brent, and Paul on a life mission to annoy Chris the GM by having the pact of "we're only here for Karen's benefit")

Karen is a warlock, Right is a cleric, Paul is a paladin, and Brent is a bard (so he can use bardic inspiration on Karen).

#my characters #fun fact i was watching a trio of streamers do tier lists and i saw them do a tier list about their streamer friends #and they all voted on how the person would die in dnd and the funniest thing to come out of it imo #was the difference of SELF SACRIFICE and under it FORCIBLY SACRIFICED #like who would take one for the team willingly and who would be disposed of with majority vote #then they added an executed for their crimes spot under that so while they were debating some guy they settled on #he was the one that initiated most of the forcibly sacrificed ideas and that means he was eventually executed for his crimes #which ... was really funny to distinguish #the point is thats karen in this non existent campaign #she is here to mess people up and then use her allies as scape goats and they all just go well that sucks peace out im on the chopping bloc #and chris is getting more and more distressed over the fact YOU GUYS CAN LITERALLY TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF IT #but they really dont talk their way out of it like he wants #they instead are like ok cool so im gonna pretend like i didnt see karen kill that guy #and shes like i mean it was an accident i didnt MEAN to kill THAT guy #which is why they all vote to not see it and not bring it up RIP that guy #i saved this canvas as A WARLOCK AND HER CLERIC #which is honestly fitting #anyway i wanna draw fanart again at some point but my joy is stored in the ocs rn #i dont play dnd i just listen to one person talk to me about dnd and thats enough #oops i fell in love

okay this is my valorant oc her name is accord and she is a menace to society :3

i tried something new with the shading here so i hope it looks good

#my art #valorant #okay here is an explanation of her abilities #COINFLIP - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to send it forward causing accord to appear at the location it lands. HOLD FIRE to extend the range of the co #n #SHINY - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to toss the coin a short distance forward. The coin will nearsight all enemies who look at it #FIND A PENNY - EQUIP a coin. FIRE to place on the ground. when an enemy steps on the coin it will reveal their location until removed. the #coin can be picked up and redeployed #LIFETIME DEAL - EQUIP a coin. when in range of an enemy fire to toss them the coin and convince them to join your side (only for that round #the enemy can harm their teammates but no longer harm your team and their teammates can harm them. your team cannot harm the affected enem #and that would cost 8 points but honestly 9 would work better #but i mean since clove's ult is only like 7 i dont think 8 is so bad #she'd pull the cartridges out of her pockets i guess i didnt really think about that #her backstory is basically she found a pouch of magic coins (an artifact like harbor's bracelet) and people who see them are obsessed #since she has the pouch she is immune but that's why shiny and lifetime deal work #since people love the coins so much they'd do anything to have them #OH also uh i think she's an initiator? maybe a sentinel i don't know #this feels more initiator-y to me but like idk #i just made her because i thought it was cool #valorant oc

the pokemas story with the family battle event is so fascinating to me because it never clicked to me that each person has their own "style" in battling and it can be hard to synchronize with each other as a team.... despite being family

#i know lusamine is a disaster of a mom but i really appreciate the gladion and lillie interactions since i felt that it was lacking in the- #- actual games. i didnt even know gladion was the older brother and i just assumed they were twins #i really liked seeing the other teams and their familial connections #lance and clair are nice to see. funny cousins #wallace and lisia made my heart so warm like i can tell wallace is such a great uncle to lisia #koga and janine... yeahhh love that for them #brendan and norman is nice too (plus norman talking to lusamine and understanding her issues) #gladion is really cool in this entire event tbh #~ rambling #pokemas hours #i think jaide e. and ethan would have the best coordination even if they contrast each other. they complement each other in a good way #however jaide stone and gold is kinda the opposite because jaide is. such a lawful neutral and gold is such a chaotic evil kid #how is that gonna work... /j also the fact that jaide stone sucks at battling so SFJHFSASJKF #stone family battle except jaide keeps apologizing for messing up but ruby and steven keeps reassuring (and theyre p good at battling)

jesus christttt im not surprised at all to hear that the knuckles series focuses on wade and other human characters a lot i saw this coming a mile away with how almost all the news we were getting before the trailer came out was about the human characters/actors and not about knuckles (or sonic or tails or any other animated characters) but the fact that somebody calculated how many minutes of screentime knuckles has and it came out as LESS THAN HALF OF THE ENTIRE SERIES' RUNTIME when the series is NAMED after him is ridiculous. after this show comes out wade will likely have more screentime and overall plot relevance in the entire scu than tails does. did they actually think wade is a popular enough character for people to be down with this. what the fuck

#was gonna pirate the series but at this rate i might not watch it at all LMAO or at the very least only watch the parts with team sonic #because my interest in this series is dropping every second and i already wasnt very interested in it. #and i love knuckles so you know theyre doing something wrong if knuckles getting his own series isnt interesting me #the thing about wade is i dont even hate the idea of human characters. i dont think its bad for human characters to be present #and i dont think its bad for them to be involved in the plot and have relationships with the existing sonic characters #i personally didnt mind the wedding subplot in the second movie and i know a lot of people hated it #but. it becomes a problem when the random humans are overshadowing the characters people are actually here to see #like the show is literally called knuckles and all the marketing focuses on knuckles but its mostly about wade. allegedly. #and . i wouldnt have minded knuckles having a human costar. but again. they should be getting equal or less focus not more. #and also. its fucking wade who cares about wade enough to want this. would have been more forgiving if it was maddie or jojo or something #because i actually care about those characters. and also theyre not cops #for a moment i was willing to believe that the complaints about wade having way more screentime than knuckles #were a little exaggerated since a lot of people just get mad when the human characters have any screentime at all #but then i saw the article showing that knuckles really did show up for less than half the show and i was like Ummm. What #sorry for being so negative lately #its just that every new piece of info we get about upcoming scu projects has me like that reaction image of the guy holding a cigarette #like WHAT ARE THEY DOINGGGGGGG

So, if Evil Morty could've gotten pulled back into the curve by Rick's mistake in 6.01, there's a possibility that we might see him again in season 7. I've seen some speculation of him possibly teaming up with Prime or C-137 (albeit begrudgingly), but I don't think that he'd ever work with a Rick. At least, not one he doesn't have full control over, anyway.

So, I propose this: our Morty gets separated from Rick during the whole Prime fiasco and ends up running into Evil Morty. They get into a scuffle, but our Morty is able to convince Evil Morty to team up with him. He does this by ratting Rick out for his mistake in 6.01 and pretending to betray him so that Evil Morty will hunt Rick down with him.

#rick and morty #evil morty #i miss him so much #and a morty/evil morty team up would be PERFECT #i would love to see them shittalk rick together

Me most days: ignore people who say shitty things, don’t let it get to you, don’t give air to people who’s opinion doesn’t matter-

Tumblr: what if we put something on your dash so bad you’ll block 4 people and lie in bed feeling angry about it.

Me:

#if you see this no you didn’t #mark fucks up fails and gets mad too #some of y’all simultaneously treat lewis like everything he says is gospel unless it doesn’t line up with your feelings #then he’s too nice and soft to know better #patronising ass bullshit #and y’all sure fuckin love using valtteri like a sword- when he was Lewis teammate you would have torn him apart for parts #shall we bring up all the times the team fucked George? or didn’t go to his podiums because lewis was injured? #no cause it was fine when it happened then- but when it happened to lewis nobody has ever supported him in his life #I’m mad not just as a George fan- I’m mad as a lewis fan #cause y’all are half the reason he has to be so careful about what he says #and you STILL won’t listen to him #GOD I’m annoyed. and my buds are asleep or I don’t wanna bother them #I feel too… itchy to ask for comfort #so you get a rant I’ll delete in the mornind #wank/rants

yo so there is this Philippine girl pop group called BINI and they've been growing in popularity on twitter not just because of their genuinely impressive vocals and performances, but because of them being one of, if not, the most unhinged OPM stars to ever exist. They are also going viral for being among seemingly the gayest group of Filipino pop girls to ever exist. Both unhingedness and gayness have been at display with surprising genuineness like I'm not kidding those two descriptors seem very much so real so go check them out-

#i say surprising genuineness because if you look at their music and their mvs ayun i dunno for me some are quite straight coded #but when you look at twitter and their livestreams #i say this with no exaggeration tHOSE GIRLS ARE UNHINGED #like one member even livestreamed a playthrough of fireboy and watergirl with her back and her laptop facing the camera #also the girls are quite young like around 18-22 #aLSO outside of being platonically gay (affectionate) with each other (they have love team pairings within the girl group) #(as per the fans ships and they like hamming it up) #but most of the girls have said on multiple occasions that they like girls and like given the context of the many instabces #i dont think they are joking anymore like one of them literally said they are a big rainbow flag #while another said she would be more flustered (kilig) if she was paired up with a girl in a music video #just gjdj check out the twitter threads on bini you'll see what i mean #also that group is a legitimately good ass group like they wre incredible vocalists and dancers and live performers #and they are very very nice as well #how do i know this? last march 2023 they went to my university and i was one of the photographers and videographers- #i got a close up picture of bini mikha and she is very pretty up close. also she has amazing tastes in jackets #bini #opm #philippines
