The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer
Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.
Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.
I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.
i'm fascinated by a possible deeper meaning of the goncharov meme where years of fatigue and resentment for shitty fandom-bait blockbusters, support for martin scorsese following the attempts of marvel bootlickers to turn him into a bogeyman after he criticized them very accurately one time, the gradual reclamation of "film bro" cinema on this website (an effort led in my anecdotes primarily by trans mascs who get #gender from robert de niro), and years worth of blueprints for discourse and bickering over reducing artistically deep media to ship-bait have coalesced into this exact moment where we are basically desperate to manifest a brand new early-career marty movie into existence like a tulpa
Weird Barbie's Weird Girlfriend is finished. Her backstory is that a kid gave one of her Barbies this crazy makeover after going to a pride parade with her two moms. I had a lot of fun making her and I think she turned out lovely. For context I used a Barbie I was very middle of the road on (kinda hated her hair style) and Fabric Markers for this.

God forbid, I exude confidence and enjoy sex. Do you think I relish the fact that I have to act like Mary Sunshine 24/7 so I can be considered a lady? I’m the Marcia fucking Brady of the Upper East Side, and sometimes I want to kill myself.
