#because they’re good shows

[undedkat]

Boys should be allowed to watch and enjoy media for girls. Encouraged even.

#I have an essay on this but like AGHH #like my fiancé doesn’t really watch shows but even for what he does it’s like.. he’s never even heard of these shojo shows that I watch #and then he watches them with me and he loves them almost as much as I do #because they’re good shows #and I think media made about men is considered ‘gender neutral’ but stuff made about girls is ‘girly’ #so girls are expected to watch Naruto but boys aren’t expected to watch Sailor Moon #and that’s so heteronormative and sexist and it just sucks because it prevents men from watching really good shows #my fiancé isn’t a great example because he literally never watches shows but still #maybe I’ll make a longer post later idk #unded rambles #intersectional feminism #feminism #magical girl

No but like every time I think about Splinter and what he had to go through just to keep the boys alive, my heart hurts for him so badly. Is he perfect? No not at all, but none of them are and by god does he love his sons.

The fact that all of them are alive, and grew to thrive despite the circumstances surrounding them is a testament of how much Splinter loves his boys. He raised four babies following the most traumatic time of his life, all alone with nothing but the sewers to house them (to hide them.) I feel like he’s not given the credit he deserves for all he’s done.

And I get that it’s easy to hold up his flaws and faults when it comes to parenting, I myself like looking into them because flawed characters are super interesting and said flaws make them more realistic and engaging, but he tries, and again, so many others would have given up on the boys or failed along the way but Splinter didn’t.

He’s their father, for all his faults he did his damndest to make sure they survived.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt splinter #rise splinter #he’s not perfect as I’ve said #and he’s got a whole slew of flaws and faults #but he’s a person - we are all flawed #he loves his sons dearly dearly dearly even if he struggles along the way to show that #parenting is not easy! especially as a traumatized mutant who is forced to do it alone #side note but I think this is one of the reasons why it kiiiiiinda ruffles my feathers to see so many people assign parentification to Raph #and in turn make Splinter out to be way worse and way more distant than he is in canon? #like idk I just don’t see what so many others see ig but maybe that’s just me #i guess my thoughts are like- let parents have flaws without villainizing them? #they’re still parents even if they mess up? #we can discuss the repercussions of a parents actions on a child while not casting that parent as an awful person #parents are peopleeee #I could go on but yeahhh #idk it bothers me seeing splinter’s efforts undermined when he’s been through so much #idk if ppl realized this by now but I love me some flawed characters #tho I do think in this fandom the ones whose faults are discussed the most are like #Splinter mostly then Draxum then Leo #of the main cast #and in Splinters case in particular his faults are made to cover his good qualities which makes me sad #because he is SO INTERESTING #they’re all flawed characters and tbh so interesting because their flaws are ALSO their strengths in many aspects

No one:

Not a single soul:

Steve: *clears throat*

Steve: DO YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE

Steve: THAT I WOULD BE STRAIGHT

Steve: *drag Eddie at the center of the stage*

Steve: *points at eddie* IN THIS ECONOMY???

Eddie: *smug as fuck*

Robin: *groans, in the audience* this is the fifth time this week

Dustin: *exhausted, in the audience* can we go home now?

#in a scenario where no one believes that they’re dating #because Steve is ‘straight’ #so Steve gathers them to show them how much not-straight he actually is #it’s actually all Eddie’s idea but it’s more of a torture if Steve does it #and Steve is a good boyfriend #also he’s genuinely feral over Eddie #everybody wins #except their friends #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steve and eddie #stranger things #steve x eddie #incorrect steddie #incorrect quotes #sbc writes

DPxDC Prompt

Thinking back on it, Danny probably should have been more wary of being given the title ‘Ender Of Timelines’.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #danny phantom #dc x dp #dcxdp #I guess any crossover but it’s the one I was thinking of at the time #probably a summon fic? #they’re like Oh Fuck Who Have These Cultists Brought In?!?! #panic. mayhem. chaos. #meanwhile Danny is like. you put ONE alternate universe version of yourself into your own CLONE and SUDDENLY it’s a PROBLEM #he steadfast ignores the other times he fucked with time and then refucked with it to fix it #arguably it’s a title that should go to Dark Danny who I’m calling Dante because #chefs kiss ITS GREAT #maybe it applies to both so it’s like. a coin toss who shows up #Dante is like. ugh. community service says I CANT. let me give you the most bored speech on the planet about loving the earth and making… #the most of your timeline. #you know. up until he actually NEEDS to go light some fires. which he’s maybe a bit too quick to jump in on as soon as he can #meanwhile Danny is like.

I’m sensing Mleven finally being able to have a platonic heart to heart moment like they haven’t been able to since they were just friends back in s1

Reminder they’ve not had a sweet moment like this to really have a proper conversation for three seasons. This was always going to happen & is very very necessary for their growth as characters!!

#byler #I’m assuming they take a moment during the action because they’re at the radio tower #apparently #I know some people’s instinct is going to be to worry but guys they have a really special bond they weren’t going to end the show not havin #a single happy conversation #this is expected and is a good thing

I saw a meme about Spider-Man being bi and felt inspired to draw this lol

#Kirby #Kirby fanart #my art #Taranza #headcanoning all of my favorite characters as bi because I am bi 🩷💜💙 #in my little fanart universe/fan interpretation of things Taranza became the king of Floralia after the events of Triple Deluxe #and he became close friends with Dedede and they bonded over both being self-made kings/Dedede helped to show Taranza how to be a good king #but in the process Taranza developed a bit of a crush on Dedede lol #he eventually confessed his feelings to Dedede but Dedede was like oops sorry I’m married (he and Meta Knight are married in my AU) #but Taranza was fine with it and was glad to have had the courage to confess his feelings even though Dedede didn’t feel the same way #and they continued being good friends after that they’re king besties lol

don’t get me wrong I think the general interpretation of Leo being like “I put up a cocky front but deep down I don’t actually think I’m that great and that’s why I have something to prove” is good. It’s cool, plenty of drama/angst potential and probably what the creators were going for, I’m here for it.

But there is a distinct appeal to me of the slightly-to-the-left interpretation of Leo being like “it’s not a front, I know I’m that good/smart/skilled, but I also know I’m seen by others as just the goofball face man and that’s why I have something to prove.”

#Rottmnt #Wild metaphor incoming but it’s like the difference between a hersheys bar and fancy Ghirardelli or something #At the end of the day they’re both chocolate. But ones got a bit more depth. #where was I going with this again idk I got caught up in food metaphor #It’s like. With the first one it boils down to character A (in this case Leo) going “I’m useless because I’m not good at [thing]” #Resulting in those around him either going “of course you’re good at thing! Remember the time you were good at thing?” #Or sometimes “it doesn’t matter that you’re not good at [thing] we love you regardless of what you can provide” #And again THATS GOOD THATS SOME GOOD SHIT #I LOVE THAT #but with the latter it’s more like “I know I’m good at thing *but I don’t know how to prove it to you*” #And that gives you the best of both worlds where you CAN get character A feeling bad but not for their lack of thing #But because if no can see it surely they *must* be doing something wrong right? #And ALSO you get the characters around them getting all sorts of feelings of “we didn’t do enough to show we believe in them” #Or “we didn’t notice how hard they tried” #Cuz you can get that a little in the first one but it can come off as kinda meh cuz they didn’t actually do anything wrong #It also has more opportunities for emotions besides straight sadness #You can have anger and conflict of “why am I not good enough for you?!” #That straight sef deprecation doesn’t always allow for #You can also have jealously and envy that feels less toxic and more justified #Not that it strictly needs to be justified mind you #Sometimes some toxic feelings stemming from perceived inadequacy are fuckin *chefs kiss* #But again it’s abt the VARIETY yknow #This isn’t even about Rottmnt anymore I’m just rambling #It’s my post and I get to choose the bullshit tags

Doms who get all stupid and needy the second they see their sub ready and willing for them send tweet 😤😤😤

Doms who want to tease, want to draw it out, ask their subs to put on a show and prove why they deserve to be played with…. Only to feel their brain fry at how sweetly their submissive obeys, offering themselves so enthusiastically, so completely, looking so irresistible and perfect…

Doms who melt into their subs with a groan or a whine, their sub reassuring them gently that it’s okay if they need it right now, if they want to skip the teasing because they can’t wait and want to claim their submissive, want to hold them and make love to them…. I love doms who get flustered for their pretty subs because they’re impatient and want to feel them now.

#we love subs going stupid…. what about doms who short circuit and go a little brainless when you do the thing they asked of you #imagine being asked to put on a show or touch yourself…. and after only a minute or so they’re moving your hands away and pulling you close #because you look so good so sweet so perfect and they *want* you they want you NOW #osha keep scrolling #unnecessary horniness #naughty f/o imagines

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

Feeling a lot of trans Leo feelings rn and I would like to reiterate how possible it is for him to not only be trans but also have no idea at all about it.

Okay so, he’s bigger than Donnie, particularly carapace wise, which tends to be the case when the slider is female and the softshell is male.

Second, his coloring. He retains the same coloring his whole life, even as a much older adult, so there’s another tick in the trans checklist, especially being that said coloring is noticeably bright.

His demeanor is also pretty at odds from most male red eared sliders - one example of this being when Bullhop was staying with them and Leo is noticeably less angered by him being both in their territory and in general than the others are - male red eared sliders would be way more combative here.

Like alone none of these are 100% definitive indicators but all together it makes perfect sense to me personally.

Now, how would it work for Leo to not know?

Okay, bear with me, but I like to think it’s because of Splinter’s (or rather, Lou Jitsu’s) genetics! As in, of course Leo wouldn’t assume otherwise, after all, his human self is very masc, including his lower voice and overall body type, so he and his family would have no reason to assume that he’s actually trans! But I personally like to think that it is because of Lou Jitsu’s DNA that Leo’s humanoid half turned out so masc in comparison to his more female aligning turtle half.

So yeah. Female red eared slider mutated with the DNA of a human man equals a turtle teen with no idea he’s trans (or potentially intersex.)

#rottmnt #rise leo #rottmnt leo #trans leonardo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #trans masc leonardo #the one headcanon I refuse to part with 😤 #I especially like this too because it in turn makes the boy’s voices in the show when they’re little make more sense haha #like obvs it’s because the voice actors are grown men so they can’t sound like children #BUT it’s funny to look at because hello these are babies with very low voices #of course this is all for design or for show reasons #but in retrospect it’s fun to look into more because it makes things like this work out that much better #I know ppl may disagree but alas! I cannot help but see rise leo as afab- or at least intersex due to mutation #it makes me happy #surprise trans Leo is so good #side note but putting Lou Jitsu’s adult human male dna into the turtles when they were infants is also why I think they were so wonky- #-immediately after they mutated #their proportions were much more align with an older human’s than a baby’s and it’s only later that they grew into more toddler-esque bodies #only to revert back to similar proportions upon reaching teenage years #it’s actually fun to think about because imagine being splinter in this scenario #he’s already dealing with his own transformations how the heck should he know what is and isn’t out of the ordinary

If your support of an actor depends on whether or not they are dating, you are not a fan. You’re just someone who is way too into the imaginary fantasies you created in your mind about them and a co-worker they once had.

#I’m not even a fan of bright #but the number of people who have said they won’t be fans anymore because he’s dating nene #it’s sickened me #like I am enraged that he’s being treated like this #why the fuck does he have to apologise for dating?! #all because some people liked a rather mid show he made years ago with win? #(no offence to the 2gether fans) #but come on! #they haven’t played a couple in YEARS #and they weren’t even that good at it XD #but these CHILDREN #they’re being so fucking nasty to him and nene #and I am so mad #bright vachirawit

Another thought I’ve been having relates back to The Scorching, the history behind it, and how much of a good twist it was to throw out. I don’t know if it was planned or a convenient retcon, but it works on so many levels thanks to the themes already present. It also leads to some interesting theories.

Burn could never have been queen. The first action we see her do in the books is destroy an egg due to hatch within the next few nights. It’s cruel, and most of all, it sealed her fate. The kingdoms were founded on the blood and tears of furious mothers, broken hearted from losing their eggs and determined to keep their broods safe. Burn couldn’t have been queen, because that is not what a queen should be. Thorn takes the throne because she took over a city, created an army, and fought tooth and claw to find and save her lost dragonet, despite the odds.

Glory takes the throne because she is the dragonet who should have been cared for. She should have been seen, noticed, and saved. She wants to be queen not to have the nicest things, but because someone should care when a dragonet disappears. The first dragon she rescues is a dragonet. She is worthy because Grandeur gave up on her dragonets and her tribe, but Glory refused to give up.

Coral isn’t a good dragon; her abuses and her absolute classist nature are abhorrent. However, she is marked by her craze as she watched as so many of her daughters were crushed in their eggs. The horror of losing a child is what marks a queen, in some shape or form. Orca was not worthy of the throne, because before she even challenged her mother, she devised a way to kill every dragonet that could challenge her before they so much as crawled out of their egg.

What one truly has to wonder is when the rules changed. When did it become a rule that to become queen, there had to be a fight to the death? When did mothers find themselves pitted against daughters, sisters, nieces, all for the power of the throne she has? Who came up with the deadly challenge?

One can only wonder.

#sunnymoon's rambles #wings of fire #wof burn #wof thorn #wof coral #wof orca #actually I wonder if the challenge to the death for the throne was something that happened after beetlewing and leafwing migration #because they show no indication that there’s a history of challenges to the death for the throne from any pantalan tribe #though that could be because idk sequoia and hazel get along and book of clearsight involvement #but it does seem to indicate that there may be no such thing as a royal challenge there #I am so glad to finally be able to write out my thoughts on this #been listening to the audiobook again #they’re very good very recommended
