#and can’t make a cut on here

[turtleblogatlast]

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

you’re on your own kid / yeah you can face this

I started this Parse comic almost a year ago (!) but I’ve only just managed to put it together now. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about Kent and how he mostly exists in bits and pieces as seen through the eyes of other characters.

There’s just something about being haunted and defined by your past (mistakes) but also finding strength on your own. (And how there can still a hopeful ending despite it all.)

#my art #omgcp #omgcheckplease #omg check please #kent parson #kp #kvp #pimms #(ish) #jack zimmermann #check please #this is the real version finally!! so sorry about the accidental posting of one of the drafts earlier 🥲 #I can’t believe this took so long… a YEAR #I’ve had most of it finished for a YEAR #but here it is #I had to cut a few lyrics and images to make it flow better #a couple of the cut pics I really wish I could have managed to fit in there but alas #besides it was mostly like. parse being ghosted after jack’s overdose. the pics were too static of that makes sense #the song is you’re on your own kid by Taylor swift #yes I firmly believe that kent parson is the check please character most likely to be a swiftie #and I stand by that #honestly in universe parse has probably been to at least one of her parties #as a fellow celeb cat parent #a lot of this song is very kvp and some of it is a bit more handwavy ~it fits the vibes~

I know people are upset about Izzy being killed (I am too) but the truth is I don’t think it was bad writing or even them diminishing Izzy’s character, I actually think everything about the last episode has to do with production and I think Izzy lovers will feel a little better about it if they see it like that (it helped for me).

Basically, if you look at it like this, I think 2 important things came into play. Budget and how the showrunners assumed this would play out. Which is to say that they probably assume HBO will either renew them for season 3 and cut their budget again or they’re going to be cancelled.

Both are very likely, so assuming they had this in mind, removing Con, who I’d guess is the 3rd highest paycheck after Taika and Rhys was probably their best budgeting move, especially if they’re thinking of having an all out war in the final season that they probably want to be a visual spectacle, so each season feels like it’s getting consistently larger in scope.

On the other hand, if they do get cancelled (which they probably will because the HBO CEO is a weird little conservative goon), they left the ending in a way that could be considered an ENDING while still being prepped for a 3rd season. So in the time they had left (which was 2 episodes less than their first season) they gave Izzy an entire completed character arc.

I 100% understand the sadness and anger, especially after all the shit he went through during the beginning of the season, I felt gut punched when I learned he died and was bitter as hell through my whole first viewing of the season even though I’d had more than a month to process it. But after having thought it through, I genuinely don’t think it’s simply them treating Izzy as just an extension of Ed’s character growth and I sure as shit don’t think it’s because they wanted to conform to Izzy haters.

I think if they had all of the resources and episodes they wanted, had a guaranteed season 3, I think we would have gotten the character growth we got with better pacing and he probably would have at minimum made it to season 3 (I also think he would have had a love interest, but that’s just what I wanted for him tbh).

I think they did the best they could with what they had, allocated a lot of budget and screen time towards his character despite having less of those 2 things than the first season, and at least let Izzy have a completed story and arc, even if the ending was deeply disappointing.

#Izzy hands #Ofmd s2 #our flag means death #ofmd season 2 #ofmd season 2 spoilers #ofmd s2 spoilers #izzy hands apologist #I think it’s worth remembering that Ivan got a single line mentioning his death after the actor was cut for budget reasons #I don’t think they wanted that for Izzy and spent the whole season avoiding that #I also think it’s worth remembering that most of your investment was probably driven by the fandom and fan content #And it’s good to know it’s still here and still being made and I hope more of you will come back once the sting isn’t so bad #I think people can’t see how much they gave us because of what they took away but I think they really tried #To give him as good of an exit as they could but they knew they couldn’t avoid the exit #I just think you should blame the executives who fucked up their whole situation and not the showrunners who had to make it work #That being said the way Lucius was handled really pissed me off and I actually think we should be more angry about it lmao #Now THAT we can blame on bad writing #I also think how Izzy was shot was really forced and felt last second like that also could’ve been better #Steadyhands #edizzy #stizzy #ouizzy #sprigghands

i think voncid’s voice when he’s grieving at the end of ep 32 is so…. god. i’ve been thinking about older queer people lately and especially queer grief, and there’s something so lovely about the way voncid speaks about the second death of it all

#timothy's txts. #what if you chose even the barest presence of your love over the safety of the people you love here and now…. #also the weight…. the weight of it all…. #i’m NOT an ageless old man who deals with the grief of death and horror everywhere he turns #but i get it. it’s so heavy all the time i get it mr voncid #he just wants to hear his voice again… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 #and if i know what you will say to me then why do i cling so jealously!!!!! #is that what i am? ​do i sit within your veins and bones like a cancer? #if i cut myself free no one remembers you but me #i can’t let you die the second death… i died it for you…. #i died too!!!!!!! i died your second death for you!!!!! why shouldn’t i get to keep you!!!!!!!!! #i’m skipping lines but like oh god #WHY SHOULDNT I GET TO KEEP YOU!!!!!!!!!! #anyways. anyways…. #tw caps #gwpod #ghost wax pod #ep 32 - bur #ALSO!!!!!!!! MAKE THAT OLD MAN CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #this is one of my favourite podcasts for the way they voice act like OAUAGGHHH it’s so scrumptious #how much emotion there is and how much distress and despair and urgency and anger and fear #every time cid gets emotional i just imagine his 🥺 <- eyes and i’m like yeah… that’s what’s supposed to happen……… #tw emoji

thinking about leaving my irl friends group chat bc it’s turned into the person i’m trying to distance myself from posting nonstop life updates and ai generated selfies while absolutely steamrolling anyone else’s attempts to actually interact with each other 🙃🙃🙃

#i think I’ve just kind of outgrown this friend group which is really sad but also like…i can’t just sit here and watch this go down #and nobody backs me up when i try to adress the behavior bc they’re all like ‘that’s just how he is #like y’all just bc it’s a pattern of behavior doesn’t make it okay??? #I’m so annoyed right now i need to take a second to think about what I actually want to do but i really just want to cut contact #fern whispers

Hello, im wehaveagathering from my main blog, im kind of obsessed with your hockey poetry edits and I think your blog is great! I guess I kind of have a dumb question, where do you find the images you use for your edits? Did you say Getty in your tags?? I’ve gotten into making icons recently (and i have ideas for poetry edits hrrrghhh) but it’s hard to find high res images. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a nice day :)

first of all thank you so much 🥹 and second that’s absolutely not a dumb question!! i do pull a lot of images from getty and i’ll also download pictures from sports articles (i got a lot of the hugheses pictures from online access articles, for example), or sometimes from instagram/facebook/twitter if an account is public. freely admitting that i am not technologically advanced? inclined? in the slightest here, but the image editing software that you use and how you import/export photos with it makes a difference in the quality of them as well!

if you haven’t seen them yet, i would also recommend checking out @simmyfrobby @national-hockey-lesbian @hauntedppgpaints @tapedsleeves @starscelly and @captainbradmarchand’s blogs just off the top of my head!!! they might know more places to get high res images and also i love their work 💕🫶

#sorry can’t type hands all butterfly hearts i’m just out here like 🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭💕💕💕 #@ everyone i tagged ty i love you i hope you don’t mind the tag 😘 also i KNOW i am unintentionally forgetting people so tag them at will #forgive me i am eepy. we are running on <4 hours of sleep and over 18 hours awake 🫡 #liv in the replies #join the club!!! join the club!!!!! we love the hockey poetry edits!!!!!! i’m so excited to see what you create!!!!! :))))) #the process of me finding images is very much like. either i have a vision in my head and i troll getty looking for it or my screenshots #if i know i have one l m a o but either way i am always 68 pages deep in a hyper specific search labeling my photos like ‘ohHHH buddy’ #‘menace 1 abd 2’ ‘but he’s not a cup winner’ ‘ohhhh the nolpat media scrums are rich earth’ #‘because WILLY WON’T CUT HIS HAIR’ ‘deJA FUCKIN MILK BAYBE’ ‘is it truly sn edit if u don’t find a devastating baby pic’ ‘yes MF last line’ #and so forth. like. glad it’s comprehensible to ME but if anyone else ever tried to use these photos based on file name alone i am so sorry #also i forget that y’all can’t see all of the metadata notes on photos to know where they’re from :/ i gotta be better abt making it clear #also on the note about image quality i just need to state for the record i am so photoshop whatever illiterate. #i learn one (1) new trick on GIMP a year maybe two if i am lucky & no i have never figured out consistent sizing 🫡 but the one hack for res #i HAVE figured out is that when i do edits i usually make a whole doc w/the poem lined up on it (helps me keep somewhat consistent sizing) #and then i export that document as a pdf and edit the pdf in the software instead of trying to screencap or jpeg or anything. PDF quality > #that is probably so convoluted lol if anyone has tips please lmk i am always learning #ANYWAY. rambling u did not ask for but is inherent to Me. #have a great day too!!!!! you literally made mine so 💕😭 #wehaveagathering #indecisor

hey! please don’t do this!

#i can’t speak for everyone only for myself #and while i’m so happy that people are excited #it truly gives me a lot of anxiety getting these kinds of asks #i won’t trauma dump here except to say that i suffer from extreme imposter syndrome #and also finding my own identity and joy in writing again ever since the traumatic experience that happened to me- #in this space a couple of years ago. i’ve been mentally depressed and checked out since #i’m working as fast as my brain will allow. i want to bring track 3 and ik it’s been almost a year but please #please please please just be patient with me. #also not to be petty but this coming from a mass like and someone who doesn’t reblog my fics just makes me feel even worse #so yeah! just a heads up! again i love that people are excited about my writing too! #but cut a girl with severe anxiety disorder some slack #🍯.txt

I’m throwing my tiny weird metafic about Legato into the void can we get three cheers for the bitches in the back who have a weird relationship with their hair

#I have far too many thoughts about hair and autonomy in trigun you will read my headcanons and meta #I firmly believe knives also has a funky relationship with hair even though I didn’t touch on that here. #something about claiming autonomy and individuality and sense of self through the hair. the panic when redacted happens to his hair. #knives being the first to ever cut legato’s hair in trimax. something about that I’m telling you. #anyways #I’m sure legato’s hair growing out is never a pleasant experience it probably reminds him of Before™️ and it’s likely not a time for anyone #how to make a haircut so homoerotic in 1500 words or less #many thoughts head full #legato bluesummers #trigun #trigun stampede #ash can’t sleep

saw a post on linkedin by someone going “fuck marketing I’m burning my career to the ground and starting from scratch” and I was like oh yeah. I wanted to do that too

#unemployment will have u forgetting your convictions and wanting to do anything for a paycheck 🥴 #they were like ‘we’re in the business of making rich men richer and the more senior you get the more clearly you see that’ #I know. it’s agonizing. can I really do that for like 10 more years #I desperately want a career transition but it feels too financially risky to do that - an entry-level salary won’t cut it when #I’m the only person financing my entire life - I can’t rely on a single other person to help me w/ money #can only hope I find a job that doesn’t squeeze the life out of me too bad meaning I can pay for courses/bootcamps on the side #that’ll get me out of here #at my current stage of unemployment I feel like a worthless loser whom nobody wants to hire LMAO so.

First posted piece of 2024 featuring Ghazan’s older sister Haya, take 2!!

#a.k.a the og version was bothering me so I completely redrew her eyes and added more shadows to make her facial features more pronounced #gonna just copy over my og tags bc I can’t be bothered to come up with new ones #my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original character #seeds of the red lotus #sotrl haya #god... like on one hand yes. she's an awful person. she abused her brother's kids for 16 years #left lasting mental and emotional scars on them to the point that even years after they last see her they're still recovering #even after all the bruises have healed her voice is still in their heads. fear of her still dictates so many of their actions #someone like her doesn't deserve any amount of sympathy. nor after everything she's done #but on the other... the person who did all that is haya in her 30s and 40s. here she's just 14 #she just had her whole world shattered in a matter of weeks. she's left with nothing and no one but an empty house and her 5yo brother #she has no one to turn to. no shoulder to cry on. apart from losing her parents she had to quit school and stop hanging out with her friend #sh ehad to abandon any hobbies she might have had. I imagine she was quite like suiren and midori used to be. curious and intelligent #and very keen on trying new things. she had to leave all that behind to work day and night while earning only barely enough to scrape by on #just enough for them to survive. to keep the house. to be clothed and fed. there was no room for treats or luxuries of any kind #how many dresses did she cut up to use as material for ghazan's clothes? how many nights did she go hungry just so he could eat? #and she can't even cry about it. not while he's around anyway because she's supposed to be strong for him. #I imagine she often cried after putting ghazan to bed. just out of sheer helplessness. from how exhausted she was #she cried herself to sleep every night and pulled herself back together every morning #tied her hair back with her mother's kerchief and went straight to work anywhere that would hire her. working until she could barely stand #all for him. I'm not excusing her actions in any way but I understand why she was overcome with resentment after he left her #running away without as much as a goodbye. after everything she had done for him. spitting in her face would have hurt less #so when he resurfaced over a decade later to dump his bastard children on her it didn't take long for all that resentment to find an outlet #and the rest is history... fuck. thinking about her teenage and ya self always makes me cry. she was so much like suiren it's heartbreaking #well. the only reason suiren is like this now is bc of her. but yk what they say. the history book on the shelf is always repeating itself #anyway. I'm really glad I took the time to redraw this. I'm so much happier with it now. she actually looks like a young girl now #this really hits different considering that I straight up killed her in my latest au... granted she was in her 40s there. but still
