#it was pre determined

[turtleblogatlast]

Every day I’m haunted by the fact the boys happily swim in sewer water

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #bless their hearts but they’re nasty #it’s funny because like #each and every one of them has moments #where they’re a typical disgusting teenage boy #and then the next they have STANDARDS #can’t blame Leo for being so determined to go to a spa #even if he nearly licked his own foot that’s prob cleaner than anything else the boys have been up to in years 💀 #thank you shelldon for all your hard work cleaning after then 🙏 #they’re all gross teenage boys!!! #even Donnie he is NO exception here #bro was DRINKING A BEVERAGE while wading through sewer water he is just as gross as his bros #bro also talks with his mouth full he is no more refined than his equally gross bros fr and I love it #but yeah no way that water isn’t disgusting even filtering it would still leave grime on the walls of the sewer for yearsss #pros of them moving into an abandoned subway system is fixing their sense of smell enough to not be as gross #100% that’s part of why they didn’t mind being so filthy pre shelldon #because I mean they were literally raised in the sewers and they’re teenage boys like that’s a double whammy #THEY ALSO DONT WEAR SHOES #the few times any of them do the shoes are discarded before heading home 💀 #I love them tho they are endearing anyhow #April’s immune system must be godlike just being around them fr #honestly no joke Mikey’s probably the cleanest of them all #just by virtue of being a chef #Leo I see as a mixture since he no doubt loves to pamper himself so he’s clean like #a percentage of time before he goes out and ruins his own hard work #Donnie is similar in that he’s just VERY SELECTIVE about what he thinks is too gross #Raph may be more on the stinky end but it’s not his fault he has his stinks and eats things of dubious origin(esp since his bros ate poison) #Donnie and Leo really have the gall to be sick about Raph eating the origami salami but they have no room to talk #all their villains are prob like please stay away from us we have salmonella now

i think the barbie movie would have a profound psychological impact on hua cheng

prev comic / next comic / follow for still more hualian barbie movie content because i am not done

bonus angsty version 🎉 i hate love expressions just a couple tiny lines on the mouth and eyebrows and it goes from silly to sad

:(

#this is a haha hua cheng devoted joke but idk it’s nice to think about how much of his identity and self worth is placed on xie lian #obviously since he was 10 most of his major life choices were to serve the crown prince #but in the interval time he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and decided it was his responsibility to create a ghost haven #he works on artistic mastery and alternatively brokers deals with and evades assassination attempts by heaven #if asked i think he would say he only does good for dianxia’s sake (What Would Dianxia Do) and is actually a bad person #and similar stuff about his combat and art skills #theres a question here about how much of his success is due to being such a determined person and how much #of it is luck from ‘the savior’ reversing the star of solitude #how much hua cheng is left when you take away xie lian? #he would say nothing #xie lian would say a billionaire genius playboy philantrophist etc #tgcf looooooves to talk about destiny and free will and so do i #all this to say if it was in character for hua cheng to cry at a movie hed be sobbing #this can be read as pre or post confession btw #the poll decided which version of the comic was the ‘main version’ above the cut #tgcf #art #comic #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #mxtx #my art #barbie #barbie movie #tgcf meme #lmao

If I were greedy…

I spend a disproportionate amount of time appreciating the addition of these four simple words to the "I really wanted to develop these myself…" line in the manga side scene with how much insight they provide the audience into Ray's mindset during this arc.

Greedy people don't pull off successful escapes. Greedy people risk getting their friends killed. Greedy people end up losing everything.

(Chapter 181.1 | Chapter 4)

It's a layered message to Isabella as well.

You've known what I've wanted for a long time now. None of those three things have changed. You don't have to worry about me betraying you.

The way he looks at her when he says it, too; tries to make himself both nonthreatening to not invoke her ire or suspicion, yet aware enough to convey he can still competently complete his side of their agreement (along with a bit of pettiness, wanting to believe he has more control of the situation and not wanting to let it seem like she can pull a fast one on him. Knowing what's to come in less than 48 hours is heartbreaking), all while having the most subtle sad and tired tinge to his eyes and subdued grin to mask it.

(Because what if things were different for the two of them. For all of them.)

He already believes he's asking for so much, and yet…

(Chapter 181.1 | Chapter 93)

They're worth it.

"David Tennant is overshadowing Ncuti"

no he's just... delaying him? like, i get it, i'm excited for ncuti too but we'll still get to him, in his own era, maybe give it a minute and let dt fans be happy for a bit because they get some neat specias? it's just some tv show specials, you don't HAVE to add moral value to them you know?

this whole "oh no a plot twist, this is clearly a Moral Dilemma, a plot to use a popular character to wrong the one starting!!" thing is so tiring to me.

"David Tennant is overshadowing Jodie's departure!" yeahhh but tbf, she overshadowed Peter Capaldi's first, it's usually like that with regeneration. Remember when Matt Smith overshadowed David Tennant's? This is clearly a long-range revenge plot!

"David Tennant personally poked holes into my cheese!" No he didn't, it's okay, just eat an apple my GOD

#tired. #istg it's no wonder this fandom made me miserable #an actor 'breathes' #butthurt fans 'this is clearly a personal attack towards my favourite doctor' #this show will one day die from being unable to give us some fun new things #endless possibilities with time travel and parallel worlds and shit #and we never see any of it because every change is perceived as an attack to the show and actors #omg a plot twist? to freshen up the concept of regeneration a little? and give fans some nostalgia? #POOR NCUTI!!! #how will he cope with being the doctor during his already contractually pre-determined time instead of before???

[starbylers]

No but I do find it funny how Mlvns are throwing tantrums, furiously conceding that Byler could possibly happen, cursing the writers and saying they’ve given into fan service, all because of ST day ignoring their ship when tbh marketing should be the last thing causing anyone to lose hope this early on 😭 Like how is this the thing that took you out yet Mleven lying fighting separating and not speaking once after Mike’s ugly-lit monologue with Will’s kicked puppy face in the back didn’t phase you? Will showering Mike with love to comfort his insecurities instead of his literal girlfriend doing it, and the reminder of those misattributed-to-El feelings giving Mike the strength to “confess” didn’t make you stop and think?? Not even the insanely staged final scene Byler + couples framing made you blink??? I just think it goes to show that they really pay attention to and place importance on the wrong things, having to have things spelled out for them by the ST promo team (like that Will’s hidden love confession is obviously the most heartfelt moment) in order for them to even acknowledge a different perspective, meanwhile the rest of us just watched the show lol.

#byler #anti mileven #they have this pre-determined opinion of what the story is supposed to be that they have been fixed on since s2 #of course to them there’s no explanation but queerbait or fan service

LET DOWN AND HANGING AROUND (CRUSHED LIKE A BUG IN THE GROUND)

October 1987

They've been at this for fucking years. Eddie feels like a fucking girl scout.

'Well hello there Mr. Music Man, would you like to buy a box of shitty garage band metal?'

Except they weren't fucking shitty. All of the guys had been working their assess off, writing, playing shows, shitty gig after shitty gig after shitty gig.

But they haven't managed anything. Nothing, zilch, nada.

They had a small crowd showing up at the Hideout, and the owner, Benny, started letting them play not only their usual Tuesday but because Eddie had been helping him with placehe was letting them play Saturday nights now too, which was great because while he appreciates the likes of his uncle and Wayne's best friends on Tuesdays, there were almost twenty people every Saturday night and that was something.

They also had a standing gig at a bar in Indianapolis at least once a month, lately they've been playing The Barrel every other week and Eddie thought--he thought--that that would get them somewhere.

The guys were fucking exhausted but Eddie kept pushing because they could do this. Corroded Coffin was great. They were great and somebody was going to see that…right?

Eddie saw what they had. He did. But the guys--

"C'mon Ed, we can't keep sneaking Gareth into bars forever. I think we need to--maybe consider other options or--" Jeff rambles. They were supposed to be practicing but Jeff Williams had to swoop inwith his stupid common sense bullshit. Jeff motherfucking Williams is one of the best guitarists Eddie has ever had to the privilege of listening to, but Jeff wants to go college like a real boy!

Gareth cuts him off, "It's just the two bars man, and I have a fake, if I need it anyw--"

Would you look at that, it's time for Freddy to cut in. "Yeah, but you're three feet tall and have the face of a newborn child."

Gareth shoves at Freddy's chest. "Oh fuck off, man. At least I'm not a virgin!" He yelps and great. This is great.

Now the band is fighting, again, because Jeff wants to go to College, Goodie is a Virgin, and Gareth is short.

Eddie just want to play music.

If they all want to yell, Eddie can yell louder. "See. Do you see what happens when you start talking about 'other options' Jeff? Chaos--and not the fun kind!"

"See, Eddie--this is the fucking problem with you. All you care about is your music, your dream, It's all about you!"

Jeff is yelling at Eddie, Gareth and Freak are rough housing, how did this even happen. All Eddie wants is to do something. Be something. He believes in this, in Jeff, and Freddy and Gareth, in the band.

And he gets that everyone is taxed, tired. Eddie is fucking exhausted. Gareth is trying to not fail his senior year. He gets it, he does, but-- "You know what, Jeff?" His voice breaks, and isn't that fucking humiliating? "Some of us, don't have college as an option. Did you ever consider that?"

Eddie leans over and grabs his cigarettes from the table, before shoulder checking Jeff as he leaves.

——

What’s the fucking point? Eddie puts everything into lyrics that people probably don't even know, all of them spend hours writing and harmonizing, making sure chords make sense, just for everything to be a pipe dream. They haven't taken a break for anything. It's either work or school or Coffin Shit. They haven't played D&D in months. They've just been doing this.

But it's all Eddie has. How the hell was he ever going to get out of shitty ass Hawkins, if it wasn't this way? He didn't exactly ace his finals--even the third time around. Honestly? He's pretty sure they just let him pass, to get him the fuck out of there.

He lights up what feels like his eighth cigarette--it's not, it's his second--and stares out to the empty street. They use Gareth's garage to practice…for being as straight laced as she is, Ms. Emerson sure does believe in the band.

Dottie Emerson and Eddie. God dammit, maybe Jeff is right.

He should go back, he should go back and apologize, and let this go. He has the job at the Hideout, he can save and maybe move to Indy--play an acoustic at some bars or…something.

God, he's just so tired of this shit.

He finishes his cigarette, and tries to breathe. Breathe in--hold--breathe out--he doesn't realizes Jeff until he taps his shoulder.

"Hey." Jeff says, quiet. Eddie, just nods, grabs his pack and offers a cancer-filled olive branch. Jeff takes it.

Eddie doesn't say anything. Doesn't want to, doesn't know what he should say.

So Jeff does. "I'm sorry, Ed. I didn't mean to make you upset. I'm just fucking tired man, we all are and I do want this, I do, but it's fucking scary." Eddie turns, watches Jeff blow out smoke. "I got accepted to IU, did you know that?"

Eddie blinks. He did not know that. "No, you hadn't mentioned it."

Jeff turns to look at him, "I didn't want this to happen."

Eddie closes his eyes, takes in a deep breath. In--hold--out. "You should go." He forces a smile, watches as Jeff's eyes shine for a moment--no wonder he had that silly crush on him his second senior year, but it was only for like a week, leave it alone--before he srunches his face up, Eddie can't help but laugh. Jeff always does that, when he's stressed. It makes him look like a rabbit.

Jeff goes to speak, but Eddie cuts him off. "Let's do this Halloween show, it'll be our going away gift to our tens of adoring fans."

Jeff laughs at that, nods, and pulls Eddie into a hug.

Everything will be fine, with or without Corroded Coffin.

#worm brain #everyone buckle up cause I'm determined to knock all of these out #they will follow a story line BUT also stand alone #so note that even though eddie thinks this is the end thats a big fat lie #Steve is out there somewhere #and so will Corroded Coffin being famous as fuck #I promise #eddie munson #stranger thing #stranger things ficlet #pre steddie #cause BOY WILL THEY BE HERE #Corroded Coffin #All the boys.

i always see so much of Nico ships where either Nico is the one pining or the focus is almost completely on Nico pining and i feel like we’re missing a lot of opportunity here. Where’s the inverse? Where’s the POVs from [other character(s) of ship] of them falling hard for Nico and just absolutely losing their mind pining over him because he’s so impossible to read that they can’t tell at all if he likes them back or not. Them doing some complicated social dance cause they cannot for the LIFE of them figure out Nico but they’re trying so hard until they finally just tell him outright and find out Nico has liked them back this entire time and they lose their mind just a little bit more. WHERE IS IT.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #shipping #examples: one of my favorite headcanons is that Will got a crush on Nico the first time he saw him during the Titan War #when he brought reinforcements n stuff. cause yknow. the dude showed up in thematic armor with three gods and parted an army #and then ensues like a whole year of poor Will helplessly pining over him but a.) Nico is never around and b.) Nico is barely aware of him #ergo why Will is acting Like That in BoO cause he's BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO GET NICO TO NOTICE HIM #on-and-off for a WHOLE YEAR #and he is DETERMINED to at least be Nico's friend by the end of the summer #just so that he can stop losing his mind over it #secondary example: i write a lot of pre-HoO Jason stuff and i really love the potential dynamics between him and Nico then #with Nico being this rogue who randomly shows up #and Jason keeps getting flustered by this guy who doesn't seem to care who he is at all. which is part of the reason for getting flustered #cause Nico keeps treating him as an equal! which is kind of a big deal for Jason #and at the same time they're doing this diplomatic dance and the two of them are just being SO overly formal #because they're both like that. so it just sounds like theyre flirting like Victorians #and poor Jason is so distressed post-HoO when he realizes he'd forgotten all of that. and now he has to START OVER #and Nico is NICO so of course it's impossible for Jason to gauge exactly where they stand #etc etc those are my two most detailed examples

[apollos-boyfriend]

I hate matpat because he admitted to not playing the games he makes theories on. like?? that’s his job and he can’t even do it right??? he lacks reading comprehension skills, like I swear he does

oh you don't have to swear, he does. fully. i'm not into hollow knight personally, but last time a post of mine critiquing his theories blew up, i got a lot of notes saying that his hollow theory (or at least one of them? idk if he's done more) is wildly despised within the community because it's apparently debunked in like. literally the first cutscene or something.

i've said this before, but it's kind of a weird line between "he does not have media comprehension skills" and "he DOES realize these things, he just doesn't give a shit and will say anything to make his theory make sense". for example, something i do know well: fnaf. in his like, "final timeline" or whatever the fuck, he creates an entire narrative about elizabeth and the funtimes being LATE in the timeline, taking place after the crying child's death. however, in that very video, he points out the OVERWHELMING amount of evidence that the crying child witnessed elizabeth's death, from the nightmares having stomachs on their mouths (elizabeth was scooped through baby's stomach) to the fact that the game constantly tells the crying child to "remember what he saw" or something loosely along those lines. he is AWARE of the fact that these things exist within the text, however, he has this fucking superiority complex that it doesn't matter, because HIS theory is CLEARLY right, these very important lore texts must've just been bullshit.

#muse talk #anon #neg #he's said one thing i agree with. and that's that old games (like fnaf 1) probably have some lore that was since dropped #as scott just threw that game out there as a last resort. he didn't expect it to blow up #that is NOT the case for fnaf 4. it was very clear that scott had an obvious idea of where the story was going and what he wanted to do #he would NOT have put those lines/symbolism/etc there for no reason. they were IMPORTANT. you cannot just steamroll through them #for the sake of your own ego and pre-determined idea of what the game is #that's his issue. he doesn't go in WANTING to make a theory #he goes in with a theory ALREADY made and searches for whatever he can use to back that up #even if there's clear contradictions in the text #he's stupid. that's what i'm getting at. he's bad at his job.

I mean, saying “it doesn’t matter” over and over doesn’t make it true. I sure as hell don’t believe you. None of this is okay. None of what happened is okay.

I’m just sayin. Dude. It. Matters.

alright. okay. you know what? sure. congrats! you won. it matters. i hope you're happy.

then what.

i mean, your old man bites it and you drop out of uni. hey, that's life for ya. but sure, have it your way. uhhh... "wow! that was bad. it matters."

then what.

you move out. start things over with your brother, settle down with something to keep you busy. it’s not much, but it pays the bills, right? meet some new people. make some new friends. call that a change of air. you have your old pals one call away, anyway, so really. things start to look pretty good, you know?

next thing you know it’s all gone. that's messed up, isn’t it? that’s not “fair”.

then. what. 

mind giving me a clue here? cause i’ve been at it for ten years, pal, and i still don’t know what the HELL i’m supposed to do with that cause uh. i tried! i really did, to go back and fix it. because “it mattered”. i tried for years. and the only thing i ever got out of it was trouble. 

heh... no. that wasn't the ONLY thing.

you can’t understand how it felt. knowing that any day, without warning, it could all be reset. that one timeline too many and everything would just… end. just like that. and we’d be none the wiser. what was the point? this wasn’t our game, we weren’t calling the shots anymore. or uh, ever, for the matter. gaster didn’t accept it, and look where that got him. so uh no. it CAN’T matter. you can’t hold onto stuff like this. cause it’s gonna suck you in like a bird in a jet engine.

some day, you’re gonna learn when to QUIT. and it’s not gonna be any kinda special moment, either. THAT’S when the penny's gonna drop: that you’re never gonna get out of here… that you’ll never see them again. while you’re buying eggs at the goddamn grocery store.

huh? “then what”? then you joke with the shopkeeper. then you buy the damn eggs. then you get in your bed and you sleep for a week, and when you wake up again… you take what life throws at you and you roll with it. cause every day you wake up, at least the world isn't ending yet.

this was never about me. not my life, not my friends, not my family. but you don’t care. you just don't get it, do you. it. doesn't. matter. not because they meant nothing to me. or i didn't... don't... care. it doesn't matter because THIS is as good as it gets for me. cause at the end of the day, i got LUCKY.
