I think about Leo’s “I’m your least favorite” comment to Splinter in “Down with the Sickness” a lot. It’s likely just a throwaway comment, a way to get Splinter to leave him alone before Leo gets sick too, but I can’t help but wonder if Leo believes it on some level.

Obviously it’s not true, Splinter loves him as much as he loves the others, but…it wouldn’t be shocking if Leo believed otherwise. After all, just in “Many Unhappy Returns” alone, Splinter has, with no hesitation, said comments like “my other sons would have taken this seriously” and “I knew I should’ve brought purple”, said “no” to Leo’s “I love you”, and pretty blatantly didn’t extend any trust in Leo’s plan even after Leo was fairly effortlessly defeating their opponents.

It was only after, when they’d already won, that Splinter finally gives him a “it was all you my son!” And…that’s basically it. Raph is the one who announces his trust in Leo. Not their father, even though Splinter is the one to witness Leo lowering his walls for once (which Splinter doesn’t react well too, because Leo only lowers his walls in the most hectic of times, and because he lowers them only then, either no one is around or no one is in the right state of mind to respond properly, leading to Leo building his walls back up, and the cycle continues.)

Again, it’s not because Splinter doesn’t love Leo, but Leo…can’t be feeling too good about all that. The way he never reacted surprised about any of Splinter’s words too…

He may know that Splinter loves them all, as a group, but individually…I don’t think Leo believes he ranks all that high with that love. Gives another meaning to “I’m nothing without my brothers” huh?

(Of course, I’m willing to bet the invasion changed that understanding, but with that comes the potential misunderstanding that his father’s outright love is tied to Leo sacrificing himself.)

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #again OBVIOUSLY SPLINTER LOVES HIM DEARLY #but I wouldn’t blame Leo for thinking he’s loved the LEAST #Splinter also blatantly thinking Donnie is funnier doesn’t help #Leo being a Leo and thus being a Daddy’s Boy at his core doesn’t help #man splinter if you tell Leo he was the first one you held he’d be riding that high for MONTHS #but yeah I just think that with all of Leo’s insecurities…this all isn’t all that unlikely a conclusion to make #and I’ve said it before but…Leo and Splinter don’t really have a softer moment between them unlike the others #that must sting #this isn’t to say that Splinter was WRONG in being upset with Leo in Many Unhappy Returns #because Splinter had no way of knowing Leo’s plan would work out #but again - Leo has to be so confident and cocky because goddangit SOMEONE has to believe in him #so he lets it be himself #hell even the hug that comes after they incapacitate the shredder was more of a ‘Leo was there but it’s to all of them’ #I want them to have a good father son talk so bad #is it any wonder why Leo imprints so quick on Hueso #when the man sees him break and decides to help? #can you imagine how much that means to someone like Leo #that someone with all the reason in the world to leave Leo to deal with things alone #chooses not only to help him but to actively protect him after as well #I bet with Splinter there’s always a voice in the back of his head #that says his dad’s love of him is more obligation than anything #and if they didn’t have that DNA connection it wouldn’t be there #so Hueso having no connection but still sticking by Leo’s side in Leo’s moment of weakness…it probably means a lot #it’s a shame we didn’t truly get that with Splinter and Leo #now I want Hueso and Splinter to meet bc like…they’re both dads! and it’d be interesting

If there’s one idea I really like in au’s where Leafpool and Crowfeather actually do run away, it’s the idea of the three being raised away from the Clans and returning with an outsider’s gaze on how repressive and violent they can be

#warrior cats #deer rambles #im not crazy about these au’s because they always make it so crow would become crowstar?? for some reason?? #and also that he’d be a good father #he’d suck ass #anyways. in MY ‘Leafpool runs away’ au-

I thought about Michael_B for just a tad too long…

#dream smp #Dream smp fanart #michael underscore beloved #c!tubbo #c!ranboo #rozoodles #look i just thought ‘hey would’nt it be nice if Michael was a painter?’ #and then felt soft over the fact that he wouldn’t have to fight any wars because his fathers already did (and this is a good timeline) #but Tubbo would want him to know how to fight just in case (he’d also be the one to give Michael the totem) #idk man I just got brain worms about them all of the sudden #the end au

Probably the stupidest, most reckless but undeniably bravest thing Mu Qing did in the entire novel was coming forward to Xie Lian with the truth about the missing golden foil.

#tgcf #yes yes i know i shit on the man all the time #and it is 100% deserved #i stand by that #but he wasn’t always a shitty 800-year-old manbaby #once he was a child with principles #THAT is his potential as a person #like imagine you are the child of a man who your government had to EXECUTE #and you have been put in a position where coming forward about something #would have you dubbed a thief TO THE VERY GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ALSO EXECUTED YOUR FATHER #who would have the courage to still come forward and just be *honest*? #mu qing who struggles with honesty on a GOOD day made that call #he didn’t know xie lian at that time for shit #and EVERYONE knew of qi rong as an absolute menace #he had NO reason to believe he’d come out of that situation unscathed #yet still! #against all the odds #and all common sense #HE WAS REWARDED!

Your Narrator design reminds me of a father figure in some ways, maybe is the body for him (/pos)

Reminds me of my own father, I'll gladly hug your Narrator and never let go XD

doomed tragic yaoi is all fun and games until you start pondering the Life They Could’ve Had

#I’m emo over it alright #they would’ve been the worst ever parents but also the absolute best #wilson would’ve been such a great PTA dad he’d get invited to all the events #and the entire committee would’ve had a restraining order against house after he attempts to sabotage the 4 millionth competition #in favour of their kid #AUUUUURGGGHHHH #I know that they emphasised how Wilson wasn’t ready or stable enough to be a father #but he never really let go of that vision #and house was so good with rachel :( #they could’ve fostered traumatised kids and broken the cycle #I’m just being delusional atp #but they deserved the bbc johnlock domestic fathers ending #we deserve a soft epilogue #and whatnot. #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #house/wilson #hatecrimes md

just remembered that like a year ago someone got mad at me for saying that rykard would have resented radagon. do people seriously think that mr. “leal hound of the golden order” and mr. “lord of blasphemy” are having weekly father-son brunch

#the gelmir knight helms having red plumes that represent radagon’s red hair does not mean that rykard and radagon were on good terms #rykard was fighting tooth and nail to tear down the things radagon holds most sacred. what might that say about their relationship #but ​​when a father and son are on opposite sides of a war it is never going to be a simple black-and-white dynamic #what does it say about rykard that he’d spill oceans of blood to destroy his father’s order yet still invokes him in his knight’s uniforms? #hatred and love don’t have to be mutually exclusive

something that pisses me off in RA is that Flanagan will occasionally hype up Pauline as this super important and prominent figure in Will’s life, even treat her as a proxy for the mother he never knew, and yet will just refuse to show it beyond the like. two or three (personal) conversations that they have in canon. I get that he was attempting to make her an important person in Will’s life but why not do that by actually making her an important person in Will’s life

#hey Flanagan I hate to tell u but just because she’s married to Will’s father figure does not automatically make her his mom figure #what REALLY annoys me is how easy it would have been for him to connect her & will #like hey. if only there were a pretty clear gap in Will’s education that halt couldn’t fulfill - say for example mmmm diplomacy? #(​cause we all know how gifted halt is at conflict resolution) #then he’d have a valid reason to seek out a master of diplomacy for lessons in negotiating compromises & treaties #but no I guess not. Will’s just naturally good at diplomacy despite never really being exposed to it #yk what extra sucks? #if Pauline HAD taught will about treaties & stuff then him receiving the last name treaty wouldve been 1000x more meaningful #it would’ve spoken to her influence on him and solidified her as a sort of parental figure in her own right #AND as an extra extra bonus: if she came to the cabin to teach will about negotiation tactics and such #then we could’ve gotten more halt/Pauline interactions. as in: we could’ve actually seen them being in love ON SCREEN instead of just being #told that they loved each other #will could’ve had a chance to see how much the two of them mean to each other. and then he would’ve had some actual basis for a speech #at their wedding or whatever #but yeah no why do that when we can just imply that will & Pauline got super close off screen? same effect right????? #ranger’s apprentice #pauline dulacy #halt o’carrick #will treaty #I love these books so so much don’t get me wrong. but there are just some things…… #anyway. #jackie rambles

trans headcanons of the winchesters are always extremely fun to play around with and i can see most of them. but one that always rings slightly false to me, despite a love for it due to self-identification and the fact it’s definitely interesting, is transmasculine dean. simply because if you’re going according to canon this would require him to have transitioned at some point prior to johns death, probably much prior, probably as a youngish kid. and i genuinely do not think that ever could’ve happened. he values johns approval too much and is too scared of demanding too much of him.

like even aside from whether john is Actually transphobic (i doubt he’s like Cartoonishly transphobic he probably would be annoyed by it slash not care much, interpret ‘not caring’ however you want) just the whole Thing of coming out where you’re like. “Hey dad im actually a human person who has an internal sense of self and such that doesn’t happen to be You 2.0 and am not the gender you thought i was and i feel emotions to such an extent that i actually like need to transition”…….

no fucking way dean would ever be able to do that to john while he’s still alive. please. teenage transmasculine dean would be like Well yeah sure i want to be a guy but that’s not an option for me whatsofuckingever. and crucially he’d be like that even if he knew entirely about trans people. now this is why transfemme dean works so well. because you just know it would take her at least thirty years to even consider it for a singular second.

on the other hand transmasc sam works so well because you can picture teenage transmasculine sam realising he’s a boy and promptly making it part of the whole entirely justified and very cool and fun teen angst rebellion FUCK YOU DAD thing. he could let spite carry him to the point of coming out. dean? he is burying that shit deep.

#Idk there’s still stuff to play with i find really interesting #at the end of the day it’s like. canonly dean buries everything about himself and just takes on the shape of his dad dads music dads car #dads jacket dads anger etc- #dean is expected to be a certain way. and he becomes very good at that certain way #he’s playing the role his father decided for him long after his fathers dead #i think a theoretically transmasc dean while still just as determined to prove himself and like. into hunting and probably vaguely the #machismo of it all too like canon dean. i think he would still very much as a teenager play into the whole eldest daughter mary 2.0 (more #than in canon he’s already mary 2.0 but he’s also meant to be john 2.0) #like transmasc dean would bury it and keep performing badass Tough Chick femininity #obviously after transitioning he’d be just like canon dean but he’d have to get to the point of transitioning first Which would take foreve #dean conforms to the role john expects he does what he thinks is needed of him #hence why it’s so hard to imagine a younger him transitioning. transition is a deviation from that tightly plotted role #Hence why in canon maybe transitioning would save her because it would inherently mean she’s gotten over some shit! #ANYWAY. gender in spn is so interesting #dean winchester #trans dean winchester #I still love transmasc headcanons though ofc #spn #oliver talks

Poins! Come get your boyfriend! I know you disappeared from the narrative, but he’s been traumatized by the death of his father and is now executing conspirators in the most terrifying way possible.

#shakespeare #Henry v #ned Poins #I said ‘holy fucking shit???’ out loud at the scene where Hal asks the traitors’ opinions on mercy #and then hands them letters that I can only assume just say ‘I KNOW.’ #and then when they ask for mercy he tells them he’ll take their advice on punishing criminals #apparently having your father die immediately after accusing you of being a fuckup one last time does things to your brain #as if Ned is a good influence lmao #maybe he’d come up with something more funny and less terrifying #either way #please come pick up Hal #he’s scaring us #also I just think hal deserves to have fun sometimes #and Poins would go NUTS for walking around a military camp in disguise and challenging people to stupid duels

The Incredible Hulk (1968) #277

#I like seeing actual conflict between Rick and Betty- Rick didn’t react at all when Bareet slapped Betty at the end of the last issue #I don’t think I agree with that Betty ‘never loved Bruce Banner for what he was- only for the safe secure life you hoped he’d give you’ #because I think that Betty must have actually loved Bruce to stay loyal to him for as long as she did #when the fact that he was transformed into the Hulk and continued to not be cured and to rampage made in increasingly unlikely #that he would ever be able to provide security for her #I think that a lot of her initial attraction to Bruce came down to that he was so different from her father #the kind of man her father would degrade as a ‘lily-livered milksop’ #that he wasn’t a soldier #but she also had a lot of admiration for his intelligence and faith in his good character #I think it would be reasonable for her to be just done after all this #but dismissing Bruce was just a ‘monster’ now and saying that the world would be better off without him is really extreme #actually Rick’s loyalty to Bruce has the basis that Bruce was a stranger who risked his life for Rick #whereas Betty actually knew Bruce as a person before he got transformed #marvel #betty ross #rick jones #my posts #comic panels

You know one thing that kind of makes me a bit.. sad, for lack of a better term, when it comes to Saint Just?

When I sit there and remember that he didn’t want to spend his whole life in politics. How he had said he basically wanted to stick around until things were basically set and stabilized in the revolutionary government and the republic and then just move to the country and have a family.

But he didn’t get that. I don’t think he would have changed what he did, if he had the chance, but it just makes me a bit sad to remember that he had hopes beyond the revolution that never came to fruition because he died before they even could, when he was just shy of 27 years old.

#frev #french revolution #claws out for the main 5 #saint just #louis antoine de saint just #new concept: cottagecore St. Just #if I’m being honest I think he actually would have been a pretty decent father #give him some time to mature a bit and I think he’d be a pretty good father honestly #just from how people who knew him described him

Realizing that Minthara is a Baenre and therefore from the same House as Ady’s Buncle (Chaotic Bisexual uncle-but-not also known more famously as Jarlaxle) and she killed her by taking the bridge out from under her like its fucking Looney Tunes

#Jarlaxle fucking hates his family tho so he’s probably good with it #I love the fact that in my game Jarlaxle went from BBG (kinda) to another father figure for Ady to glom into #in spite of the fact he’s this scheming and super charismatic antihero/morally grey figure #leader of a mercenary band #and in game he was Ady’s dad’s closest companion/best friend and her dad was just a walking sunbeam of an elf #and it was heavily insinuated her dad and Jarlaxle hooked up at some point but thought they were better as friends before he met her mom? #ugh I love the lore my DM came up with and we came up with together I mISS IT #god Astarion and Jarlaxle would be CHAOS #I know in the game the BG3 VAs are playing they encountered Drizzt and Astarion fanboyed over him #I can’t imagine how he’d feel about Jarlaxle omLLLLL #anyways this went off the rails in the tags my adhd be adhding tofsy #so yeah I did kill minthara I didn’t like how she locked up Halsin it was means :(

at the end of the day me and supernatural fundamentally disagree on one thing: if there should even be a god. because supernatural thinks that there should be, even if he’s terrible, because at least then you have someone to blame and later you can replace him with someone Good who will be a better god. but ultimately that there should always be a god. and im a silly stupid little anarchist who thinks the whole god idea should be taken out back and shot because it doesn’t matter how much goodness you bring into the office, the nature of that level of power over everyone and everything means you are doing harm to them constantly, even when you’re just trying to be kind.

#supernatural as a rule does not like dismantling the systems it has created. it enjoys having a god. #supernatural has daddy issues baked into its core and it wants a bad father telling it what to do over no father at all #spn #this is why jack as god is a bad idea btw this is my thesis statement about that #its not that he’d be corrupted. it’s not that chuck won. it’s not that jack is secretly evil and has too much power now. #it’s that he’s good. and he’s god. and he can’t be both.
