Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).
Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes#I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ‘it’s not your fault’ as well? like he could’ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didn’t#but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leo…DOES take responsibility for things a lot#he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate#and y’know thinking about it#THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED#he’s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like#breaking something of Splinters or whatever#point is it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault#or not his fault at all in some cases#like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them#(I understand Raph’s mindset here a ton - Raph’s the leader and he’s likely lashing out so I don’t blame the poor kid)#but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie#where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking#make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! it’s just something I noticed#I think that “it’s not about you” doesn’t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight#I think it’s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared#and like#Leo DOES mess up a lot! so he’s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted#he’s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all#tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad#even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

The interesting thing about Jiang Cheng is that he refuses to be his mother's golden child to Wei Wuxian's scapegoat; he actively chooses Wei Wuxian again and again. He defends Wei Wuxian from her until she dies. It's unusual.
This doesn't mean that Wei Wuxian's experience was any less fraught--being hated by a caretaker is awful even if everyone else loves you. But it was an interesting choice by MXTX.

very interesting to me that the big three of the current hero gen in mha - shouto, midoriya and bakugo - are often portrayed as also being the closest in a lot of fics bc it's like. you've got shouto's two best friends as a boy with a volatile personality fuelled by his blind ambition and desperation to be the best, and a boy whose quirk destroys his body. like if you combined two of shouto's best friends you'd get touya but we're just not supposed to redeem him. okay

actually. the specific phrasing that boy Kevin wants to kill older Kevin with "I must disassemble him, piece by piece, so that everything inside of the Old Kevin comes out. Only then can the New Kevin truly begin." is so incredibly the idea that to heal from trauma and "improve" you have to destroy every "wrong" part of yourself, that everything "tainted" by it has to somehow be replaced by something untouched (which isn't possible)
#reading back that phrasing I do think that'll be the way brinknor takes it#this arcs seeming like it'll be so. breaking the cycle of abuse and violence and coming to terms with yourself#and maybe understanding that you can never remove the parts of you impacted by trauma and start again completely ''pure''#but you can treat yourself with the kindness you should've been given#which i hope it is that because. and understand i am biased. but i'd love that direction for Kevin#it feels much more satisfying than any more. angsty way this arc could go imo#like he's been through enough!#because of the way Kevin is portrayed in fanon. not as frequently anymore but still pretty common. I worry about coming off as woobifying#by saying I want him to heal I want him to have nice things I think he deserves them#when he's also simultaneously Not A Good Person#yknow the poor little innocent cinnamon roll baby etc etc fanon#but. well for one im Not Like That about him. but my main point of bringing that up is. him not being a good person is why I want to see hi#get better and generally have a good life. why does someone have to be good to deserve to heal from trauma#especially when trauma is a big reason for the way they are#like its fiction yeah yeah i'm still tired of mentally ill people having to be ''good'' to ''deserve'' to get better yknow#i mean especially in fiction you tend to either see mental illness as the poor traumatized one who's allowed recovery because they're nice#or the insane psychopath who cant be ''fixed'' so ''deserves'' bad things-up to deserving to die!- for it#i didnt mean for this to be a rant erm. oops#wtnv#wtnv spoilers#joyousposting

#svsss#shang qinghua#but mainly I'm just here to vague post LMAO I don't like to vague post its not very effective in terms of venting but#but basically I guess I'm becoming hyperaware of my like... cognitive dissonance codependency and derealization ee#also my general laziness ig and where it overlaps into executive dysfunction or whatever like I may genuinely have some issues but#I am also a lazy son of a bitch jfjfkgkg and i need to figure out how to figure it out so I can work on both in more effective ways hhggg#oh yeah but basically the thing to remember for later is the silence in the call and the immediate unmute and chat activity once I left#I should remember this and stop interacting I think? I should try to give em space I think I'm being too clingy or something#or maybe my own silence is too awkward and dampens the call? I was kinda just spacing out and not doing anything so I get its kinda weird#LMAO so I should just like try not to be in call for those times mm#I just like being in call with my friends jdhfkg but I suppose its not very good either#I overindulge I suppose another friend pointed it out to me before too haha but fjfjjt its just easier than facing bouts of dread by myself#eehh and that's why I gotta do something about my Metnal Ailneses hfjfj but ngl I don't really know how to go about it...#I get embarrassed looking stuff up djfnfkg and half the time I don't even know what to look up I just draw ?s and I give up#I suppose I also have commitment issues too but that ones not new which is an issue of itself aaaaaaaa#man idk idk I just don't really get it I guess djdjfjf and I've got existential dreads and think maybe it doesn't really matter whats wrong#cause there's no point to fixing them because ultimately I'm gonna die alone and a failure anyways? so like ehfjgkg idk#its depressing and I know its like sabotage cause my brain is being a little silly a little goofy and its not a shared sentiment#with the better half of me and the entirety of my friends but yknow its just ee harder sometimes to believe in the optimism ig#and i can talk about it somewhat normally and without like having a ✨️break down#but yknow djfjgkg I'm very emotional a person ya? I think sqh is relatable for gods sake 💀#irrationality sentimentality nihilism and existential dreads... wanting to die because living is too hard despite all my hopes for living...#just the ol regulars yknow?#and another thing... do I talk to my friends about these things? I vent them out here a lot but what do I really want?#I'm not strong enough to keep it to myself clearly but I'm also too proud to share these thoughts? I dump them out in the open and for what?#whenever someone reaches out with concern and care I don't respond in kind and refuse to elaborate?#so like what do I want with this? I guess I want someone to know I'm going insane half the time I'm awake? but not do anything about it?#that's pretty unfair I guess... and stupid I think I do want to share my thoughts with someone but I'm too scared of the ramifications#and that my pride can't stand the fact I might be looked differently by my friends even tho the image they have of me is already quite silly#man.... idk.... I'll come to conclusions myself and do nothing about them so I guess that'll happen again aah idk idk idk

whats the backstory around those Dani gifs about the cable
so! the 2013 season was, essentially, a three horse race for a very big part of the year. marc, jorge and dani were all riding incredibly well, the trio often standing on the podium together, and the title was within reach for all three of them
that is, until the aragon round.
going into aragon marc was leading the championship with 253 points, and behind him jorge and dani were tied on 219 points (this gap would likely have been even smaller had dani and jorge not missed a race and been riding injured in the middle of the season, but i digress), so really everything was to play for still with five remaining races where anything could happen
in aragon, however, dani basically lost his shot at the title as marc on lap six lightly collided with his rear tire (it was barely a touch!), and in doing so accidentally severing a cable important for traction control. dani then high sided when getting out on the straight, crushing his hopes of being world champion in the process…..
now, this was a total freak accident!! like. a one in a thousand chance, if even that….. it’s not something a rider can consciously do, cutting off another riders cable like that, and it’s an incident of just complete disastrous luck on both marc’s and dani’s part. coupled with all the injury issues dani had already been having for years, always seeming to break something or get hurt in the most terrible of times, it’s heartbreaking !!! the guy who is trying desperately not to get hurt, not this time, not again, is always somehow the one ending up in the gravel. in the hospital.
jorge in the end only finished 4 points behind marc in 2013, so who knows how dani would’ve done had he been able to finish the aragon race on the podium, or maybe even atop it. we could’ve been talking about a completely different season, i think.

Damirae Movie/Book AUs but they get more and more unhinged
The Little Mermaid: Raven's lived in the demon world her own life, desperately wants to escape her father and become human. To do so, she makes a deal with a notorious human wizard who spends a large portion of his time in the demon realm (John Constantine). He's genuinely trying to help her, but reminds her that with magic there is always a price to be paid. While her body will be able to venture into the human world, her voice will have to stay trapped there. She gets on land, she meets up with the asshole of a prince (Damian Wayne) that she once saved the life of. He doesn't trust her at first, but grows to love her. Featuring Bruce Wayne as a "skeptical but ultimately wants the best for his son" King, Dick Grayson as the "trying to get these two lovebirds hitched" Adopted Prince, Kory as the "I am from a different world too. You do not need to say anything, but know you have a friend in my" princess by marriage, John Constantine as "Magic has its price, but I will try to help you in whatever way I can" and Trigon trying to destroy the world as the third act conflict!
The Holidate: Damian is tired of having to find some girl to hold on his arm for every single Wayne Gala and family function. Raven, is sick of Kory droning on and on about how it is totally fine that she is single for the holidays. At Kory and Dick's holiday party, Raven and Damian meet for the first time and strike up a deal to simply be each other's date to every holiday function and Wayne gala. But uh oh they're gonna fall in love. Featuring: paparazzi losing their minds at Damian Wayne's new girl, angry confessions, Kory and Dick rooting for the crazy kids, and two people who don't believe in love starting to change their ways.
We're the Millers: Down on his luck, John Constantine made a deal with some bad people and now he has to smuggle some very illegal magical artifacts across the border. Problem is, doing it on his own would look incredibly suspicious. So, he enlists the help of the beautiful small time magician Zatanna and the street rat Raven to pretend to be his family. Things do not go well, but get even worse when they run into an old friend of Zatanna's and have to genuinely pretend to be a family. But despite their wealth, the Waynes don't really seem that perceptive, so how bad could it be? Featuring: Dick Grayson forcing the Wayne family to go on a bonding trip, Damian hating the trip until he meets Raven, Batman showing up???, Zatanna trying to set up Damian and Raven and John actively trying to sabotage it.
