#i can’t tell if this is a good take

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

People really underestimate my ability to fuck off when I feel like my presence isn’t wanted or valued

#ryan.txt #bpd #borderline personality disorder #I used to be awful at this #I’m getting better #wait till I’m at my full potential #to my ‘friend’ who started shit with me when I just cared about her well-being #who ignored me for an entire day #who pretty much only talks about herself #who I can’t even tell that she upsets me bc she always acts in a way that triggers the hell out of me #who can go awhile without talking to me #who after not even saying anything tried to hit me with the heyyyyy #who takes my presence and care for granted #yeah fuck you #and fuck you to my other ‘friend’ too #like don’t even get me started on these two I’m so fucking done #I hardly have any friends anymore and the two I’m closest to suck #good friend era when (it’s never happening for me)

…. It was a mistake to put Din next there for size comparison 😭 also I’ll very badly need some help with writing the dialogue whenever I get there, or it will be a “This is the Way” interaction back and forth and I’m only half joking XD

#I wanted to crop that part out for a reason orz #Wip #my art #paz vizsla #let no one tell you that spite is not a good source of motivation #as far as I’m concerned Paz only needs some recovery time he is perfectly fine and will soon give Din hell for his parenting style #can’t believe this is the reason why I’m finally sitting down to draw Paz for the first time #I’ll take no criticism on the minigun I refuse to stare at it any more #dinpaz #hades AU #a commission and my shoulder is giving me hell so some lining was what I needed obviously lol #it’s armor armor like…. lol I just need s good nights sleep please

i don’t get the appeal of an incest ship if you’re only ever going to focus on the good romantic feelings and not the icky negative ones. the resentment the feeling of being trapped shackled wanting out and away from the person who knows so much too much about you since before you even knew to not allow it but at the same time you can’t imagine living in a world without them being away is like tearing a limb a piece of your soul you will never again be complete without them. no one else will ever understand you the way they do no one else will ever get so deep under your skin and you may hate it but you hate the thought of them not being there even more you can’t stand to see anyone else get to a part of them you didn’t and even worse when they get it before you. you push and you push and you push but when they let go it’s like you’re free falling and it doesn’t matter how far away you run you will never be far enough away because you carry them inside you everywhere you go. you tell yourself you want nothing more than to get away but they’re the only home you will ever have and you won’t ever let anyone get that close you’re already moulded to only fit in perfectly with them and you didn’t have a choice but this is who you are. there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go but there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go. you want to be so close to them you want to merge your bodies into one you hate how crowded you feel when they’re in the same room like they’re sucking in all the air and there isn’t any left for you and you want to get away so you can just breathe but you don’t even want to breathe in the air that hasn’t passed through their lungs first you hate that you feel this way you wish you could claw it out of your veins but then who would you be without it without them you want so much and it’s so ugly and you’re ashamed of how raw that need is how you want every part the good the bad the human you wish none of this had ever happened you feel dirty you never even had a chance to find something else be something else but then you look over and you love them so much so much and when it comes down to it nothing else was ever going to be enough for you anyway.

#and this is all still just one type of the different dynamics possible #and even then i haven’t covered everything #it’s all just one tight hot mess of feelings. and it’s so good #there is still much much more and i wanted to write it but it was just getting so long #this isn’t targeted at anyone person or fandom but i have recently noticed an increasing trend of (that is probably just my dash tho) #treating incest ships as primarily romantic and. that just takes away everything that makes them so engaging in the first place #to each their own i don’t believe in telling people how to enjoy their fiction but i just don’t understand it is all #you do you i’m not judging or huffy about it or anything. and obviously i’m not talking about #making fluffy feel good posts/art/stories etc about your ships #but treating these ships the same way and looking at them mainly through the lens of romantic relationships #will just leave you with a huge part of them missing #and you can’t really understand their dynamics and their interactions without that very important context (they were family first) #which is also the foundation of their relationship #.txt

anyway dune part 2 has induced in me a feeling of great anxiety about the next movie. I'm afraid Denis is going to drift away from the the original story, especially with his announcement to only be making Dune Messiah next which is not the conclusion of the story at all (Children of Dune is really the natural stopping point and the “conclusion” of Paul's story) and makes me feel like the focus is being shifted from what Frank Herbert wrote to something else entirely.

#dune #dune part 2 #dune part two #I want to like part 2 and it is a VERY good movie #But I feel like themes are drifting farther away from the book #And like of course he didn’t care about changing who killed the baron- changing it from Alia to Paul #If he was never interested in telling the children of dune story in the first place then that change doesn’t matter #Why care about how what comes into play then and how these characters end if he’s not going to tell the end of the story #And that makes me think what else in these books does he not care about #What else is he going to change #AGHHHHHH #I’m full of fear #Fear is the mind killer 😭 #I can’t take this this is why I don’t watch ongoing movies or shows I don’t trust directors anymore

Let’s cure our sadness with gorgeous pictures ❤️‍🩹🧡

#f1 #oscar piastri #singapore gp 2023 #the b&w pics 👌🏼 top notch #rosy cheeks showing with full force 🥺 #hands in the hair biceps bulging back muscles flexing 😮‍💨😮‍💨 #kinda of sad and upsetting pics the last two #but he’s so incredibly handsome still even when he’s not it a good mood #the pics from the garage? piece of art 🥹 #I’m obsessed with him and just want him to do well but luck isn’t on his side lately 😩 #when it is his time to be lucky? #Japan? pls make it happen #I can’t take any more upsetting sessions 😭 #I would like to give him a hug and telling him that he’s amazing and I’m so proud of him #and it doesn’t matter because he showed what he can do when everything is in order 🥺 #just caressing his back while whispering sweet nothings into his ear 🥺 #probably he’d be the one who needs to calm me not the other way around tho #I feel more upset than him 🫣

hey! i was just going through your blog, and i saw a post about ice&carole and mav&goose. i looked a bit more but i couldn't find a post about your take on mav and goose's relationship, so i wanted to ask what it was. if you have answered this, i'm sorry about asking you again. imo i think what they had was wayy deeper than friendship but complex and probably not romantic, but again, i just wanted to know your thoughts on it.

thank you! and this blog has probably been one of the best finds i have ever come across on tumblr, i'll be sad to see you go.

yeah, i was really trying to be suave and subtle and mysterious about it with this parallel

like, you should be able to figure it out for yourself.

but luckily for you i looooove beating dead horses. to a problematic degree.

the full story of my vision of mavgoose (moose?) is in the completed draft of the extras that are coming out on Saturday. about halfway through. But i want to bring it back to the internal craft-of-writing debate i brought up yesterday—my inability to summarize, or to cut superfluous sections that don’t really matter.

I’ll stick it under the cut for spoiler reasons, but i wanna show the simple first draft of this scene versus the complicated, heavier final draft. And I want to ask any of you, if you’re interested—as a reader, which is more impactful? which should i end up publishing?

the simple first draft:

then i kept turning it in my head thinking of different ways to edit it to say something slightly different, to get a little more specific, coming up with things to add, and ended up adding like five extra paragraphs. which is this:

about 1/4 of the final draft (by which i mean, this is about 1/4 of the whole final discussion scene, but the goosemav-specific content only goes on for about another graf [omitted bc spoilers]):

(so to answer your ask explicitly, i actually don’t think they were anything deeper than good friends. imo there’s no evidence that they were anything deeper than good friends, especially with maverick blowing goose/goose’s wishes off soooo many times [‘she’s lost that lovin feelin;’ volleyball; refusing to do the responsible thing at least twice even after goose tells him it puts his & his family’s livelihoods at risk…bro all he does is blow off goose]. see me bitching in the tags for more on this)

obviously in my head the complicated in-depth version ⬆️ is the True version, the version of events that really Happened. i think the writing is in some spots much more compelling. But it just doesn’t make for a particularly good reading experience when it’s surrounded by like 3/4 pages of other discussion of history! sometimes too much of (what i think is) a good thing turns that good thing bad! & this is a major keystone dynamic of my whole series so i just want to get it right, for my own peace of mind. I guess im asking you to be the harsh editor i wish i had sometimes, if ur interested in doing so—this is genuinely a major major problem i have with my writing, i can’t ever just leave well enough alone 😭 please let me know if simpler is better/less is more in this case! do i publish the short vague “the reader fills in the blanks” version or the long boring “here’s EXACTLY how i see it” version?

#crowd sourcing beta readers. let me know. #also. #how many times do i have to say maverick is neither a good person nor a good friend #and the writers of TGM hugely whitewashed and dulled down the original sharpness and thoughtlessness of his character #for the sake of post-50s tom cruise mary-sueifying him #before it sticks? #if it helps you can write out a list of his actions in the original movie. #for instance: > blows off goose to be late to dinner with Charlie anyway #> follows her into the women’s restroom > continues a pattern of dangerous behavior even after #Goose his supposed best friend tells him multiple times it is threatening their jobs #the truck master scene… the locker room scene… the ‘can’t afford to blow this scene’ #and then he does it a FOURTH TIME AND KILLS GOOSE HELLO!!!!! #so much for being a good friend like c’mon!!! #if he REALLY respected goose he would have SHOWN HIS RESPECT FOR GOOSE!!! #i am leaving this blog so out come the hot takes! #movies are also woobifying tom cruise lately! how’s that for a hot take #i genuinely felt insulted by TGM’s sexless passionless soft bokeh-light KIND OF half-sex with Penny. that was insulting. #what happened to the savage bitter kid in 1986 top gun? why is he so soft and toothless? #the only time we see him is in the ‘it’s not the plane it’s the pilot’ ‘EXACTLY’ exchange. THATS maverick. #sorry you know me. TGM is not my favorite. i am extremely cynical about it. #i love the IP but the writing choices in the 2nd movie wrt mav especially make me…. 😵‍💫😵‍💫 #pete maverick mitchell #nick goose bradshaw #mavgoose #you can ignore me bitching but pls don’t ignore my begging for secondary opinions here

HEY here is my Switch friend code for anyone who wants it! the only games i really play online are Splatoon and Mario Kart, but i’m trying to make an effort to be more accessible and open again so if anyone wants to add then feel free :)

#i had to change my name to Duck Twacy since i wanted that to be my name in Mario Kart but forgot you can’t have “’nicknames’ in it boo #but maybe Duck Twacy is more recognizable than Eliza. who knows. just feels funny without a Daffy icon! naked even! #and i really do aim to get back to all my asks and DMs THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE GUYS SERIOUSLY #i’ve been so buried by work (in a good way! because i love my work but i think i’ve neglected to take proper care of myself in favor of #constantly feeling i need to grind whether with work or reviews or anything) so i really am determined to detach a little and be more open #and indulgent and ALL THAT FUN STUFF #how does sharing my friend code tie into that? you tell me! #(ID ALSO OFFER TO PLAY ACNH ONLINE TOO but i have terminal restart my island itis so there’s really nothing to do… it’s been a chronic habi #since i first started playing the Animal Crossing series as a little kid whoops) #but it’s been one of my lifelong loves too

when i learned how to bake, i could not have foreseen the consequences: my grandmother, who has been making brownies/cookies/etc for our family my whole life, actually doesn’t and has been using betty crocker quick mixes this whole time. and now that i have tasted the forbidden fruit of self-made brownies that are so squishy and delicious, the storebought mix ones taste like sand in my mouth. sand made with love! but sand.

#only realizing this because she made some yesterday because i couldnt with my drains in #and. and. i cant go back to this. my god. #i love her so much i respect her as a cook in other areas. she can’t bake for shit though. #GRANDMAMA WHY IS IT SO DRY. WHY DO U LEAVE IT IN THE OVEN 5 MINUTES OVER THE SUGGESTED BAKING TIME. #woman who has never heard of underbaking her cookies……… #the funniest part of this is that ive given her my baking before and she’s gone 😄 oh! these are so good! how did you make this! #how do i tell her. how do i tell her she lives in cookie purgatory. take my hand grandmama. ill show you how to cream butter.

So often I see posts saying things like “the Jedi should have done THIS” but the thing they are suggesting is literally becoming “nice” dictators.

#I can’t believe I have to say this but no the Jedi SHOULDN’T have over ridden the senate #no they Shouldn’t have gone in and conquered planets with ‘bad’ laws or governments #no they shouldn’t have been removing freedom and democracy from they people #(and it is big yikes y’all think citizens are too stupid to understand and partake in their own government) #the Jedi are not bad for not ‘taking an active enough role’ #(also what the fuck does this mean they were #pretty active????) #the idea they not only NEED to PERSONALLY fix every issue to be good #but also are judged for doing what they can even if it doesn’t fix everything is just ridiculous #it is telling in a bad way that you can only sympathize with a group if they are dictators or colonists #no they shouldn’t have been declaring war on ever planet that wasn't a democracy #my thoughts #my posts

for a bunch of people who supposedly love supernatural, huge chunks of the fandom sure seem afraid to love it in earnest without adding asterisks to their own interest, considering how often people apparently feel the need to disclaim that it’s Bad or everything good about it was supposedly an Accident

society if everyone could just perhaps stop making posts about and/or giving hundreds of notes to posts about how much Potential the show had but how Poorly Executed it supposedly universally was. alas, technology does not allow me to mute a specific flavor of post so instead I must complain

but whatever, RIP to those people but I am different. as always I’m wearing a shirt that says “ask me about how supernatural is an incredibly unique piece of media that will never have an equal and that made television history; infamously stretched and played with the boundaries of various genres just because its creative team thought it’d be cool; was introduced as character-driven and maintained that to great success; and boasts a remarkably cohesive vision as a body of work that is testament to the skill and dedication of those who crafted it even though its creative teams transitioned through several shifts, adapted around industry uncertainties, changed the narrative in response to organic and noticed potential, and were limited by network interference”

#as always my hot take is that SPN is a good show actually. #chartxt #I didn’t actually mean to make this post this long but whoops! sorry I can’t casually talk about this ever #ok I need to sleep. my eyes hurt #also this isn’t only about destiel #SPN does a LOT of exceedingly cool shit and it does it well #and it’s also like..… how do I put this. #this is a post in and of itself for another day but: #it is a Story. it is aware it is telling you a Story. #the unfathomable creatures are put in small human bodies to tell you a Story. #ok actually I’m too tired to articulate that adequately tonight so let me stop while I’m ahead. a post for another time. goodbye #char writes things #thats the tag I use for long posts and uH. this got long so

reading the reviews of this episode and remembering that most people are fucking idiots with very very strange takes

#shiv being a quasi-femme fatale…. rome getting off on power…… #all of the commentary is so weird like . if you can’t see that the primary throughline for each character rn is their devastation at logan’ #death and terrible attempts to handle that grief then like…. idk what to tell you #ppl think roman is ENJOYING this. like are you joking that is a spiraling man if i’ve ever fucking seen one #kieran said exactly that in the after episode thing too — rome does not feel good. about any of this. it’s not a jacking off on the window #power moment it’s an oh god oh fuck i can’t do business my dad’s dead fuck you fuck uou FUCK #crazy seeing everyone on here being like ‘oh god things r looking so bad for rome he’s having a breakdown’ #then reading some articles that are all like Roman Delusional Power Fantasies High On Power etc #like this is not him getting high on power . we saw that in too much birthday (altho obvi there was much more goin on there too) #this is a clear fucking breakdown that he is fully aware he’s having at this point like just look at his convo w ken ab gerri #and the shiv takes…. well. that’s a whole other barrel of worms i won’t get into right now #succession #succession spoilers #casey shut the fuck up about roman roy #(in the tags lol)
