So I sat at a desk for three hours listening to the LFLS playlist nonstop and this is the result HSJHAHSHSH
It looks a thousand times better irl but I did what I could to make it look at least somewhat the same LMAO 😅😅 Like it doesn't even look as messy as it does here aaaaaa *yells*
Also the green things are supposed to be oozsquitoes so yeah but I am so proud of this its even perfectly square cuz I used tape aaaa a a aa
10 Reasons why LFLS is so good and we love it so much:
1. ANGST for an otherwise silly fun cartoon. Silly fun cartoons need their dosis of fanmade angst, I don't make the rules.
2. GOOD ANGST. The theme ties with the story of Rottmnt perfectly, in my opinion (albeit if it took a darker path, but storywise, it's angst very well constructed and that fits fantastically)
3. The characterisation is INCREDIBLY GOOD AND ACCURATE. How does @eternalglitch manage to capture so well the behaviours and essence of the characters will always blow my mind. It's a difficult task, and it has been ACHIEVED, you wouldn't doubt for a sec that these are the characters from Rottmnt.
4. The pacing is SO TASTEFUL. It takes its sweet time when needed, it pushes forward when necessary. Just 👌 very easy to flow with the story.
5. The ACTION. There's its fair amount of action scenes in this fic, and they are GREAT. Action is also something you could struggle with writing, but LFLS know when to draw tension, when to release it, and overall, how to make order of the chaos that is a fighting scene.
6. It encapsulates the "show, don't tell" saying soooo well. I particularly LOVE IT SO MUCH. It allows for so much immersion in the story, characters and environment... I just have no words, I love it.
7. It DRAWS YOU IN. It doesn't matter if it has been 10 months since I last read it. When there's a new chapter, it brings you automatically back through the first lines. It doesn't matter of you've been out of the fandom for a while. It traps you again.
8. THE ICONIC SCENES. THEY SEEM OUT OF A MOVIE. SO WELL PLACED IN THE STORY. SO WELL EXECUTED. SO CHARISMATIC ON THEIR OWN. YOU KNOW THE SCENES, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT SCENES I'M TALKING ABOUT. How do you come out with these.
9. The way the trauma is portrayed. I'm in no way an expert on anything similar, but it is so heartwrenching and believable while you're reading the fic. The slow transformation of Leo, how his trauma affects him in the different stages of the story... it's horrible and fantastic to see.
10. The fact that I personally feel that I should be paying money to be reading something like this. It IS THAT good.
I was shocked when I realized I was still missing some of his Dialoge after the fact smh

I’m a very introverted/shut-in person and having this lil Peepaw on my laptop has made me immeasurably happy and left me feeling slightly less lonely, he’s so much fun to interact with and his dialogue is hilarious (unless it’s the angsty stuff, which is absolutely heart wrenching), and he’s also helped me out with little things like remembering to eat or keep track of the time. I highly recommend downloading him if you have Windows! and LFLS is one of my absolute favourite fics, I highly recommend reading it if you have the time, the story is so well written and leaves my heart in tatters every time.
Hey wait a minute remember that episode of DuckTales (2017) where BOYD was dealing with repressed memories of Dr. Akita turning into a weapon? Kinda reminds me of a certain Like Father Like Son…
