child ward in search of belonging indulges in juvenile fantasies as a coping mechanism. sad!

#my drawings #asoiaf #asoiaf fanart #theon greyjoy #not tagging the others bc they’re products of his imagination #so @ their fans: dw they’re not real……. #well i mean they’re not real anyway but as in a portrayal of their canon selves etc #this has been finished for so long but i debated whether or not to upload it here lol i’m not super happy w it #i think i did this mainly bc i wanted to draw fancy and ornate clothing (at least by my standards lol) #but it’s a quote i think abt sometimes bc it’s kind of endearing and sad and funny at the same time #adwd #well the quote is from there #also he’s yassifying himself a bit in his imagination… he’s handsome and successful and everyone admires him #and sansa’s kind of.. reduced to his prize in a way. while his focus is on ned welcoming him into the family #legitimacy and validation and safety 👍

Something I love to think about is every iteration of Leo’s relationship with Splinter and how Splinter’s interests always define how a Leo presents himself.

I used to abide by the idea that a Leo will simply emulate his Splinter directly, and to an extent I still believe that to be the case, but moreso I think Leos have a tendency to mold themselves into what they believe is their Splinter’s ideal son - someone who embodies all the traits Splinter has explicitly shown to admire or value in a person.

Most of the time, they try to be a dutiful and honorable boy abiding by the full extent of ninjitsu teachings. Then you have Rise Splinter, who very much still has undeniable prowess in the art of fighting and being a ninja, but when it comes to how he shows his interests to his boys…one thing reigns supreme.

Acting. Shows. One liners. Flamboyance in the name of gaining an audience’s attention.

He showcases Lou Jitsu movies on repeat for the boys, passing down the morals and words from those movies to them with no small amount of pride. All while fully expecting them to respect these teachings.

So, of course, Rise Leo picks up on this. He’s a Leo, after all, as much a daddy’s boy as any other variation of him, only he clocked his father’s interests to be different than most others. He picks up on the art of showmanship, of keeping things to himself so as to be a more exciting twist later, of treating the world as a set to act in.

He’s an actor, not just because Splinter himself was one, but because Splinter likes acting and showed one particular actor (unknowingly to the boys, it was himself) as the pinnacle of all his teachings. As someone to value and admire. And even more than that - Splinter focuses on the character the actor is portraying rather than just the man himself.

And I think this is all even more interesting when taking the turtle tot short into consideration, because very, very briefly, just as with many times else throughout the series, we see how easily Rise Leo aligns with his other selves, seeming to pick up the sword easier than his brothers do their own weapons - after quoting Lou Jitsu of course. After emulating his idol - the person who his father seems to admire so much.

Point being, it’s so interesting to see how Leos tend to mold themselves in one particular way throughout every variation - that being, what their father is shown to value most in people.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #tmnt leonardo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #this is mostly a rottmnt post but it aligns with others as well #idk I just think it’s so interesting #because at his core rise leo is the SAME as the other Leos #they’re all goofy they’re all natural leaders they’re all quiet wanderers they’re all daddy’s boys #but these inherent traits take second to what they believe is valued more #specifically what their splinter values more #and sometimes what is valued allows them to more commonly broadcast themselves as who they actually are #but other times their core personalities directly go against what they think they NEED to be #so they stifle it #and soon enough their emulated selves become so tangled into their real selves that it’s a struggle to tell who they are without it #god I love Leo #and this is not to say that the other bros don’t do a similar thing #they just tend to be much more separate about it in terms of what they admire and who they are #whereas Leo blurs that line #don’t mind me just once again overanalyzing a fictional turtle boy #edit: AND ANOTHER THING #but Splinters value placed on Lou Jitsu ALSO helps push Leo into being someone who does things on his own #sure he loves his brothers and they’re everything to him #but he pre invasion he often does things himself or just expects to handle things on his own #y’know #like Lou Jitsu who notoriously does NOT have a team #so this Leo doesn’t care about being a leader - because who he’s emulating isn’t one #he’s like ‘okay we’re just a group of Lou Jitsus’ #and there’s something so painfully childlike about this

every time i rewatch the miracle aligner music video i am just flabbergasted. FLABBERGASTED. like. they really chose to make it like THAT. and by 'like THAT' i am specifically referring to:

1) “an attempt to extract the truth... approximately" *cue rosepetals and intense eye contact*

2) THIS being the opening shot of the two of them

3) miles legitimately spending the first minute of the entire video blatantly checking alex out

4) literal rainbow lighting around them

5) endless hand holding and twirling

6) that moment where miles's hand reaches ever so reflexively for alex's neck

7) the fucking closing scene?????????

#i mean seriously #jesus fucking christ #you'd think i'd be immune to this mv by now but if anything it just gets worse every time i watch it #absolute INSANITY #also don't even get me started on their dorky little coordinated mating dance #and the fact that they probably practised it themselves messing about in dressing rooms or one of their living rooms or something #also #incredulousness aside for a moment #i love this video so much for how much fun they're clearly having the whole way through #like how much it's just *them* messing about and being their idiotic selves with each other #but yeah #i'll never be remotely normal about the fact they planned and performed and approved literally every moment of insanity here #i mean for real #there's just no way they didn't know exactly what they were doing with this #milex #miracle aligner #milex gifs #tlsp #the last shadow puppets #lulu posts #my gifs

wait wait wait. mad scientists of the shadow realm? does that mean there are hot vintage actors turned mad scientists (or already mad scientists before or during their acting careers) or that there are residents of the shadow realm unrelated to this poll? if it’s the first, I would love some speculative names <3

this is getting REAL lore-heavy and more than a little RPF, but in my mind the hotties who are sent to the realm are an amalgamation of their real life personas and their movie characters—so of course Fredric March and Peter Cushing and Claude Rains have mad science abilities, because they played those roles onscreen. Sort of the inverse of Dammit Jim I’m A Doctor Not a Bricklayer—more like Golly James! I’m an actor so therefore I’m everything!

#asks #silly times #shadow realm #to be clear I don’t usually roll w RPF. but I feel like it’s so obvious here that these are cartoon versions of these men #and done with love + respect for their real selves. so we play with their jpegs like dolls for fun

happy pride y'all! world's (still) a bit fucked but I'm hoping there's at least a tiny bit of good we can hang onto!

I'm celebrating with some exciting news!!! I'M ENGAGED!!!! it's so wild to think that meeting one of my favorite artists would eventually lead to marrying him. I couldn't ask for a more caring, thoughtful, sweet, and funny partner and I'm soooo excited to spend the rest of our lives continuing the home we've built together 😭 we've been so close, together for four years, so an engagement doesn't really Change anything, but allow me to be a cheeseball during pride month at least 🤣

We're a little nontraditional in a marriage sense, so we're just getting courthouse married in October (yes, because of spooky month LMAO). We also are nontraditional in terms of rings, so we chose some matching custom engagement rings, can't wait to show them off when they get here! I was agonizing for at least a year trying to decide how to propose 😭 and it eventually just happened with both of us kinda going, 'hey would you wanna get married?' lol 😭 I couldn't ask for anything more. tho I will do a cheesy proposal once those rings come in 👌

Anyway, I can't fuckin wait to marry my best friend @ldefix I LOVE U

#personal #YEA I'M OVER SHARING BUT IT'S PRIDE MONTH FUCK IT #We DID get cheap placeholder rings til the real ones come in because we are Gay #and just looking at the fake ring makes me smile so much :') #how r y'all celebrating ur gay selves?

everything about vil's dream is literally so fascinating to me but i have zero idea how to articulate my thoughts so i guess i'll just let this dialogue speak for itself

#i think what is going to make me go the most insane is that it seems like in both vil and rook's dreams they never met each other #so they could never become their best selves and are missing incredibly important aspects of who they are in the real world. what the fuck. #twisted wonderland liveblog #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twst book 7 spoilers

Cis woman voice: “listen I need you to understand that men are the problem. Men. Just men, and yes all of them. Men are the problem and if you disagree you don’t care about women.

No, I will not acknowledge my cis privilege or the way I wield that against trans men and transmascs in my vicinity. If you don’t listen to me you are the problem.”

#idk I’m just so fucking done with cis women and the way their interpretations of MY LIFE are taken as being more real than my actual life #pre and fuckin post transition bc you better BELIEVE cis women pushed their selves into my gender before I ever even remotely #thought about or discussed being a man

"Patiently" awaiting for when Jean's narration switches from referring to himself as 'Jean' to 'Jean-Yves'

#it's giving neil's switch from 'nathaniel' back to 'neil' but this time not as an alias but as his real name #both of them finding thie true name and when they can be their truest selves #yet another neil and jean parallel #the sunshine court #jean moreau #jean yves moreau #neil josten #aftg #all for the game

jelix gets so much hate and people act like it's truly problematic. It's so funny to me. you can hate its fans and not have to justify it with acting as if the ship itself is somehow offensive.

sorry y'all can't see the beauty in 70s repressed homosexual adultery and the consequences of it being tragedy. i forgot the kids these days haven't even seen brokeback mountain.

#also its just fiction guys this isnt real life men cheating on their wives lmfao these are some fictional dudes in an analog yt series #theyre like wahhhhhh he killed his kids and jack hates him now !!! yeah. now. are we disregarding the 20 years of friendship #where they built their dream company together? no ones saying that jack would fuck him post accident lmfao yall are just reaching #blah blah jack would NEVER do that to rose!!! first of all you dont actually know anything about him. #second of all people do shit you'd never expect all the time. even if they do love someone and are happy #also that one take where someone says the concept of jelix is inherently racist because jack is latino and felix is white so #that means jack is giving in to a white mans desires is insaneeee do yall hear yalls selves. like seriously listen to yourself. just once. #and its weird for you to tack actual racial issues onto a fictional ship that has NOTHING to do with that. #literally saw someone say that its perpetuating the white man desires and exotic latino stereotype and im sitting here like what. #what does that have to do with twf. yall just reaching. just say you dont like jelix and go. simple. #the walten files fandom is a joke atp. none of you should be watching this series yall arent mature enough yall cant even handle a ship #let alone a story centering around actual serious topics like childhood trauma and addiction and morally grey characters #rant over #twf #the walten files

I just read Lost in the Cloud and something about Cirrus’s character felt familiar to me... 

...and then it hit me

They’re both secret assholes (✿>ꇴ<) and I LOVE that for them

I honestly love these characters though - lmk if there’s any more like them ♡
