#both as a group and as individuals

[getitoncamera]

2022 was such a great time to become a shawol 💎

#over the past (at the time) 14 years they’d put out SO much music #both as a group and as individuals #and minho’s dramas and films (i really need to watch more of them) #i had a whole year to catch up on everything they’d done before i found them #and i got to know jjong and get to a point in my grief where i can see him as a full person and not this sad thing to be avoided #and now jonghyun is one of the most important people i’ve ever had in my life #on another note #i got to see key release gasoline and killer #and minho in the fabulous #onew’s dice #and i got to find taemin and he has such a positive presence in my life #i had time to get to know and begin loving these five shining stars at my own pace #and in just a few months i’ll be getting my first tattoo and it’ll be for jjong <3 #and now taeminie is about to come home #and onew is about to release his first solo album #and there’s going to be a new SHINee album #life happens when it’s supposed to sometimes and i feel really glad that 2022 was when i was meant to find SHINee #bunny leader 🐰 #my moon 💛🌙 #space boy 🔑 #choi tenderheart ❤️🔥 #the one and only <3 #5 ​shining stars 💎

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #listen Leo loves his family SO MUCH #and like it’s no accident that Leo is consistently the one to give pep talks that #very notably #are less ‘everyone as a group’ and more ‘all of you individually’ #it’s heartening to see honestly and like #it works with how he is as both a person and as a fighter #he knows people he knows them so well he knows how they work what they’re like #which is SO USEFUL for subterfuge AND portal/teleportation strategy #my guy is charming his charisma comes from his understanding of people at an individual level #when he wants to be he is very very good at that #he’s still a teen who is too cocky for his own good at times but that does not negate his stellar other moments #he can be selfish he can be mean he can be rude but when push comes to shove he is so quick to stand up for his family #Mikey’s statement at the end of the movie about how Leo NEVER gave up on THEM is so important because it’s not JUST about the movie!! #that’s Leo as a whole he will never give up on his bros #portal jacked is telling of this too because although it has a lot of comedic moments #never once does Leo stop looking for a way to get his bros back #they’re everything to him #he’s the face man he’s a people person and he’s the number 1 pet turtle which I will discuss the implications of in this essay- #Will also say that when Leo does these moments of standing up for his bros he’s never expecting praise for it #he’s just glad they find Raph he just smiles when Mikey tells him he loves him he never mentions defending Donnie #leo has a tendency to show off fancy glittery moves but his real actions and feelings are sooo much more lowkey #that you have to be actively looking for them to catch them all #and I really really like that about him it’s so interesting HE is so interesting

the fact that my friend discovered she was demisexual and aromantic because she met me and i explained what those were is why its so important that aspec identities get talked about in the real world and not just online cause a lot of people just wont ever be in these spaces

#and im not saying its the job of every individual aspec person to inform the public about everything #but if there are groups you are capable of talking about it with or there are ways to sneak it into the mainstream more and more #thats how more people get to stop living miserable lives since they didnt know these identities were possible #cause she was MISERABLE thinking about her past romantic relationships and being in any future ones #and now we have sex and hang out and thats so much more fulfilling for both of us than how we lived before #aromantic #arospec #aspec #asexual #aroace #aroallo #alloaro #queer #acespec

In political spheres, I so often want to ask, "is what you're doing 'punching up,' or are they just an easily-available, acceptable target?"

#politics #because i find that it's oftentimes... not punching up #so often i see 'punching up' as 'whoever i can sink my claws into without being chastised' #and i think it's a fundamentally reactionary mindset to think 'who can i attack without recourse?' #it isn't punching up to the patriarchy to exclude and chastise trans men* for example... #...and too often people hyperfocus on the 'how does it make ME look?' to do this rather than on... #...who would be affected by their actions and what they advocate for... #...maybe it wouldn't make somebody look bad to say that trans men* for instance should be ran out of every space because it's 'punching up' #...but how exactly would that affect the marginalized group (being trans men*)... #....anyway that's an example i've seen (and experienced) of this in case it makes it clearer... #...no this isn't solely about trans men* and no this isn't saying that only trans men* are affected by this... #...it's something a lot of marginalized people both experience and may even perpetuate on individual levels... #...because it often feels GOOD to 'punch up'. you're told that it's 'showing them what's what' and maybe sometimes that's the case... #...but i've seen it too often where somebody is actively damaging a marginalized person/group as a means of 'punching up' #and that's why i ask... okay is this punching up or is it an attempt to gain control in a powerless situation through any means necessary?

Characters who have the luck of the devil on their side because they're just that damn charismatic vs those who have it because the universe just likes them that damn much.

This is about Moist vs Carrot from discworld btw

#discworld #i have a lot of brain worms about how moist and carrot are similar yet entirely different #like they're both good at influencing people/being influential #but moist inspires and influences the masses and carrot the individuals #carrot is *liked* by the masses but i get teh vibe he works best in smaller groups #equally moist did cons which relied on fooling one person at a time #i think it's because moist works best by being superficial and carrot by being sincere #unrelated to all of this but carrot scares me #anyway about this trope it's also jsut really fun and fits a lot of characters #slightly in love with characters who are all about the blag atm

We all know my pinned post:

May I now present, a spectacle most of this evening in the making:

And if you can't pick between the brothers? Well, don't worry!

But wait, you didn't think I'd forget Candace, now did you?

"But Bex, I love ALL THREE OF THEM!" So does Perry, you just know he keeps this on his desk:

Did I reuse some photos here and there? Yes, yes I did. Some of them were too cute not to.

Feel free to use these as you please, I made them to be shared.

And ofc, a bonus, because I couldn't not make Stacy one:

#pnf #phineas and ferb #phineas flynn #ferb fletcher #candace flynn #perry the platypus #stacy hirano #can you tell i have an absurd amount of stacy and phineas screenshots where they look absolutely fed up? #theyre both just so funny when theyre over it 😂 #bex rewatches pnf #i also have lots of photos of phineas being smol #which ofc made it wildly difficult to finish his when i got down to the last few lol #cause while i have a ton of pnf photos i do NOT have a ton of individual character photos #lets just say the group shots were a lot easier to come by #hence why some of the individual character photos are very obviously cropped

In most falmer communities, it's standard to have a minimum of three names, often more. This is due in part to the nature of falmer language, which varies drastically from dialect to dialect and often has elements of spoken, vocalised, and tactile sign language combined into a single tongue, and so necessitates different modes of reference in different form. A name spoken aloud is obviously different to one signed on someone's skin, for example. The names an individual is referred to by may change based on whether they are present or their relationship to the speaker; an individual might also take on different names as they take on different roles throughout their life. Some names have hierarchical connotations or mark some specific life event; some hives use "secret" names, either given to an individual at birth or chosen at some coming-of-age milestone, that act as the core of that person's whole identity and whose secrecy provides protection, either emotionally, spiritually or magically. Secret names are usually verbal and are generally only known by very few others, if at all, and telling one's secret name can be seen as either a mark of great trust or a severe taboo. When members of the hive die, they may be given new names to mark their loss or else be stripped of their names entirely so as not to risk the identities of the living that may bear the same or similar names mingling with the dead.

Last July, I expressed interest in wanting to create arcade flyer-inspired character cards for the colorful cast of Rascal... and only ended up making one for the titular bunny boy. To make up for it, however, I think it's finally time to reveal Rascal's full cast...

... by way of a group shot and sprite showcase! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬

#⭐ Star's Art ⭐ #Star's OCs #Rascal #Rascal 1983 #Rascal Arcade #Cupcake Rascal #Goofball Rascal #Jellybean Joe #Mr. Stackman #Sour Sally #Choco Chuck #Arcade #Arcade Games #OCs #Coolness #Behold... a post roughly ten months in the making!!! #I'd designed this lot of OCs back in mid-2023... and they have all been my blorbos since. #My intent was to draw individual key art for each one to have something for each character's character card #Though admittedly I'm still trying to hammer out a definitive artstyle for Rascal #Though seeing as I hadn't drawn the group altogether since late June of last year... #... I decided to jump right back in and draw this group shot for the purpose of revealing everyone to tumblr! #I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has about this candied cast... #You can imagine I have lots to say on both their creation as well as their personalities! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬

i feel like a major difference between the US and UK ghosts is that the US one feels, idk how to put it, more focused on the fact that theyre ghosts? the world of it, the experiences, the ghosts that are outside of the main setting, their powers, their pasts, them wanting to move on... and the UK ghosts feels more like theyre just people from different backgrounds all stuck in a house with only one person who can see them, but all that other stuff was kinda barely a thing. they didnt even dwell very long on mary moving on as opposed to when the same thing happened with flower where they made a big deal out of it lol

#my post #cbs ghosts #bbc ghosts #this isnt a diss about either btw! ive enjoyed both #but the US one is more my style i thinj #also the UK ghosts are always in a group. or the stuff they do is seperate from what allison is doing #it feels like they almost never got time to shine as individuals #meanwhile with the US one it feels like theyve all had time to shine and theyre often doing all sorts of stuff. especially around sam

smth i love abt the doa is how they're this threatening super strong organization, probably the biggest threat the main cast has faced so far in the entire story, and. they're like. actively falling apart in multiple ways at any given moment. no one in this group is loyal to anything or anyone. no coherence to any part of their plan. and still their threat is very real. literally so iconic

#they're also just all so ridiculous like conceptually both as individuals but also as a group #i want to study them so bad

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 dunno, i don't think i have social anxiety or anything, i'm just awkward. like, i can do public speaking with no problem so long as i have a script, it's just that certain weird things make me nervous. it's fine, i just make it sound worse than it is when talking to my therapists." <=guy whose gut feelings are frequently convinced that basically everyone wants to beat him with hammers
