Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #am I looking too much into things? almost assuredly yes #I actually appreciate how tim immediately goes ‘it’s not your fault’ as well? like he could’ve just blamed this 15/16 year old but he didn’t #but yeah this moment got to me a little mainly because it made me realize that Leo…DOES take responsibility for things a lot #he messes up a ton yeah but he says sorry at a pretty consistent rate #and y’know thinking about it #THIS IS TINFOIL HAT TERRITORY BE WARNED #he’s mentioned being betrayed by his brothers before - I wonder if it was something as simple as taking the fall for like #breaking something of Splinters or whatever #point is it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to get the full blame for something only partially his fault #or not his fault at all in some cases #like in bug busters where Raph gets mad at Leo for not getting captured with them #(I understand Raph’s mindset here a ton - Raph’s the leader and he’s likely lashing out so I don’t blame the poor kid) #but this plus the moment at the beginning of the movie #where only Leo is reprimanded despite Mikey and Donnie having full autonomy to join the fun pizza stacking #make no mistake this is not at all a diss on everyone else!!! it’s just something I noticed #I think that “it’s not about you” doesn’t just pertain to being arrogant and wanting the spotlight #I think it’s also about how responsibility is meant to be shared #and like #Leo DOES mess up a lot! so he’s honestly probably used to having the blame because it is often at least somewhat warranted #he’s specifically described as being good at apologizing after all #tldr: Leo messes up a lot of the time so he is very used to blame and attention both good and bad #even when the full blame should not be solely on his shoulders

Like, I'm not saying the current direction of Witch from Mercury is beyond criticism, but y'all, nobody's carrying the idiot ball, nor is it a gratuitous miscommunication plot. Our Heroine tried the honest-and-forthright-communication thing last episode. Twice. The first try got her stonewalled and the second try got her blackmailed. She's doing the stupid thing only after trying the smart thing and having it repeatedly blow up in her face. That's different!

#media #cartoons #animation #anime #mobile suit gundam: the witch from mercury #gundam #witch from mercury #gwitch #mobile suit gundam: the witch from mercury spoilers #gundam spoilers #witch from mercury spoilers #gwitch spoilers #spoilers #also she's literally a sheltered 16-year-old whose prior scheming experience has mostly involved playing student politics at prep school #so one can understand how getting involved in interplanetary terrorist conspiracies places her somewhat out of her depth

*takes your face in my hands* listen to me. listen. sir sparklepuff was created as a christ figure. listen. he was born to die. made to be sacrificed. aaravos is god. a mostly jewish team of protags are fighting against god and pre-determinism. viren is called to sacrifice his son on a hill and it's their subsequent breaking point. aaravos is willing to sacrifice his son. soren is a judas who made the right choice. viren is literally entombed in a cave. listen to me. *crying* what father makes a son just to kill him? 

#fic: twice as many stars #somewhat canon tho #aaravos #tdp #the dragon prince #mine #sir sparklepuff #bc someone already made assumptions on this post: #i was born and raised christian for 16+ years. i went to catholic school for 10+ years. one of my cousins is a jesuit priest #if yall can't handle other ppl discussing and examining various lens through which to explore #the christ story / structure / meaning as christians #you're never gonna be able to handle the reality of jewish ppl good g-d

I'm sorry, and I say this as someone who loves a lot of books with an accidental pregnancy in them, but like...

If you're writing a contemporary romance set in the now times, and your heroine gets knocked up in like a one night stand, and she isn't like, specifically crazy and attempting to get pregnant by a random, if she's genuinely not at all trying to get pregnant or planning on a pregnancy...

I'm not saying you have to have her consider an abortion, but the idea of her being like "this is all hunky-dory", even if she wants a baby in the long term, is INSANE

Like... in this economy? In this current world? In a reality wherein even if you don't typically support abortion, you know you can't have one even if it threatens your life depending on where you live? Not second-guessing your accidental pregnancy or having negative feelings at all is INSANE and to me it makes your heroine unrelatable, even if she was knocked up by a random billionaire who later swoops in and takes care of her

I mean, I know someone who recently got pregnant by accident, and she was with a man she was planning on marrying and kids with in the long term, they lived together, they had a dog together, the proposal was discussed and right around the corner... and she wasn't happy and she wasn't immediately sure she was going to have it. She decided to in the long term, but she was like, SOBBING when she found out. Because it's a big deal and even if, after some contemplation, you're super happy about having the kid, it's at min OVERWHELMING.

idk I just... that's bad writing imo.

#romance novel blogging #like i guess i can see a heroine who wanted babies super badly and previously had been told she couldn't have kids #being happiER about it #but if it's accidental and the father isn't a sure thing in terms of his emotional or financial involvement #i don't think your feelings would be wholly positive unless you were like DELUSIONAL #and i'm gonna be real... i've known girls who were just thrilled to be pregnant at like 16 #and i was 16 at the time and i thought they were idiots and i still think they were idiots #you don't have to terminate but to not be at least a little freaked out is idiotic and naive and out of touch w reality #and i'll say it: if you aren't at least somewhat concerned about your totally unplanned pregnancy conceived without a steady partner... #idk man. maybe it's not a gr8 time to have a baby just yet

I know some people think of Sam as being one of the younger interns, I think it'd be funny as hell if she's actually one of the oldest

#My personal age lineup is Adam Sam Norma Gisu and Lizzie and Morris are somewhat tied #It'd be even funnier if she was one of the few who's old enough to drive #I think she's ateast 18-16 #Anyways #I'm thinking about interns a lot today #doodles rants #psychonauts #sam boole

rewatching community why is jeff winger so transgender. “you lost the right [to talk about women’s bodies] the moment you decided to grow a wang!” from 2x21 the entire little indian girl story from crit film studies HELLOOOOO

#*folding my hands* welcome to my presentation on what jeff wingers genitals would look like #actually i have specific opinions on all the community characters genitals in general but nobody wants to hear that #anyways i think he hasn’t had bottom surgery but was planning to before he got fired from lawyer fraud #and he has like a 4 inch t dick. does not shave but keeps himself well trimmed and used to wax #also his parents were supportive when he came out at likeee 16 (alr suspected somewhat) #they were somewhat not understanding just bc it was the 90s and people arent perfect #but his transness plays into his disconnect from them #bc he feels a lot of shame about it. well FELT past tense bc the greendale crew all know he’s trans and accept it #even pierce who jeff expected to constantly bring it up and harass him #was oddly supportive in a ‘doesnt totallh understand whats up but whatever’ #which helped him be a lot more Himself and get over some of that bc. here’s this group of all types of ppl #who donf care! who love and accept him and never question it! #community tv #jeff winger

clara bow is such a standout. aaron's instrumentation literally MWAH chef's kiss. the lyrics being such an effective address of the cyclical nature of fame and its unavoidable intersection with misogyny. her delivery of 'you.. look.. like.. taylor swift' at the end. song that makes you go yeah girl you DID put narcotics in this one

#yeah i'm three days late to having somewhat formed opinions about individual tracks #the initial 16 anyway #sabtext

literally getting choked up rn tears prickling my eyes we are so back i love you tomorrow by together. the parasocialisms got me good honestly theyve got me in a chokehold

#this is the longest I've ever ulted a boygroup #this may marks 4 years ... #the mv was so beautiful and the song was giving old school slash somewhat emo vibes it was really fucking good #i loved the layers in the instrumental and the visuals were like. so tumblr 2016 but tastefully so Lol #i want to cry that was so beautifully shot we really are so back. i love the txt lore being so crucial for this cb and the cinematography #in general went crazy to me like it wasn't anything overly complex but it was still so aesthetically cohesive #im jsut saying words atp yeah #but no its not even like ill praise anything txt puts out bc i qas so painfully underwhelmed by chasing this feeling and that mv in general #like the album was solid but i couldn't care less abt the music video or the title and the aesthetics were so mediocre #but this time. holy shit we r so back like this is the txt i started stanning when i was 16 #z.post

i think? it's been said there's going to be more exploration of the teen/aya vers of the characters in the pnf reboot and i am dreading that for a number of reasons but especially the relationship between a 17/18 year old and a 26 year old whose fucking idea was this

#not to mention that they met when he was 7/8 and she was 16. whose IDEA was THIS #(note: pnf's ages are very much ambiguous and concrete dates are contradicted episode to episode However! in aya they are about to go off t #college making them around 17-18 and aya concretely takes place 10 years after the main part of the show. so at least by aya's standard the #'re 7 or 8 during the summer the show takes place in.) #(and vanessa is canonically 16 that's a number that's said.) #also i do just think in the later seasons the show did just. get too shippy. which i find somewhat annoying but thats besides the point #of the creepy-at-best age gap happening here

I haven’t logged onto Tumblr for 5 years and now here I am discovering there’s a musical bootleg community who trade each other which I knew nothing about and not one of them has offered me an &juliet bootleg.

#& juliet #&juliet #and juliet #west end #&juliet musical #where the hell was this community when I was 16 #when you were too naive and a theatre kid this is what happens #I feel shocked and also like everyone’s doing gods work making theatre somewhat accessible and archiving these performances #and juliet musical

will canonically listens to true crime podcasts

transcript in case you cannot read my handwriting: [Will is listening to a podcast on his phone. Close up of the phone, text reading "Today, we are trying to get to the bottom of the mysterious disappearance, then reappearance of Jason Grace." Will looks up, surprised, and says "Umm... Nico?"]

#my art #will solace #solangelo #pjo #riordanverse #imagine the buzzfeed unsolved episode about jason though. i mean beryl was like. somewhat famous there was likely some publicity from #yknow her 2 year old son vanishing without a trace and then showing up years after her death enrolling in a boarding school at age 16 #and then promptly vanishing again a few months later. like. did they inform the school of his death or... #btw reading the sun and the star really got me thinking abt the riordanverse a lot. #the last time i thought about it this much was like when i was in middle school 😭

Me practicing drawing Varian at the ages we see him in the series bc the character model they give him in season 3 only makes him taller.

Granted, when they use the 3D models with the 2D models over the top of them in season 3, Varian definitely looks older and his face structure does look more mature than he does in season 1, but that's few and far between.

So I decided to draw him, in my style, and actually make him look different with each age. I think I did him justice. I'm so used to drawing him at 17+ (aka the bottom image) that I had to challenge myself to make him look younger with ages 14 and 16.

And yeah, I drew his nose differently in each shot, but I don't think that's the most important part of this LOL

#varian and the 7 kingdoms #vat7k #tangled the series #tangled varian #varian #varian the alchemist #varian tts #varian tangled #rta varian #tts varian #varian seriously deserved a facial update in season 3 #even if it was subtle #varian deserved to look older #the 3d model at least did that somewhat #your face changes between 14 and 16
