Everyday i think about this screenboard scene that got semi-scrapped from Donnie vs Witch Town, like it just explains so much about Donnie as a character and i’m very sad we didnt get to see it entirely

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise donnie #like it just reveals that donnie has thought his only use to the team is being usefull via his tech #and feared he might get replaced or wasnt needed anymore #and instead of talking about it he bottled it up and it turned into aggression towards magic #like god we need to use this angst potentional more #cause it explains /why/ donnie was so stoneset on using his tech instead of mystic magic and kept saying how its better #and why his tech is usually gadgets or things that help him and/or his family #he thought thats all he's good for #apologies if i keep repeating things i'm a sucker for donnie angst and this makes me go wild #listen donnie vs witch town is not a high ranked episode on the tier list for me that scene next to the fight scene was the only part #i enjoyed a lot #and i wish they kept the entire screenboard in cause it explains a lot about donnies character and gives some drama #dia rambles #edit cause this post gained way more notes then i ever had or imagined i would ever have:: #i am flattered and virtually high-fiveing every one of you folk that said they liked my tags #i was unsure if i should even put the ramble there cause i wasnt sure if people were even gonna read it #so if means the world to me seeing people in the notes having the same reaction towards the screenboard and liking my ramble in the tags #HOWEVER i would greatly apprichiate everyone who copypasted my tags to at least credit me #some have given credit and i'm gratefull for y'all and i understand that maybe theres still the glitch for mobile users and you can always #edit your rb #I'm not mad or upset at anyone i would just really prefer it if people at least prev tagged me #ALSO SIDE NOTE to all the folk that said they'd maybe draw/animate/write smth with this a) i put the link to the full screenboard in a rb #and b) please tag/dm me or send me an ask to inform me cause i would LOVE to see it

Stop over spiritualizing everything as a "battle" against the "forces of evil" or I am going to beat you with my fists, and unlike the nebulous authority and power you attribute to demons, I can assure you my fists are very present and actively intent on stopping this rhetoric

#franposting #this is unfair of me perhaps but also I'm so. goddamn tired of this shit #kaddison drop the full ulis prayer of compassion bc i sure af need to adapt it to my own life #also like #fuck off the entire concept of church militant or spiritual warfare #it aint a battle folks. its a done deal. its won. be joyful. love deeply. #stop it with fearmongering and cowardice and guilt tripping oh my GOODNESS #everyday is more devout and apparently that means more radical #i am. so so soooo tired #anyway its the universalist in me!!!! #also stop attributing evil to outside forces like #nah babes that shit is from YOU. we choose evil. we have the capacity for such goodness and such evil inside us #thats sin! its not some big scary battle #except with yourself maybe. #i will never ever forgive what the west post reformation has done to the concept of the devil #MANICHAENISM 2.0??? #get that shit outta here. its about internal struggle. regardless of what we want to say about the source of it all #fundamentally. we have to look ourselves in the mirror and ask who we are goinf to be and how we are going to act #YES IM TIRED AND CRANKY AND WEEPY AND MY HEAD HURTS. WHAT ABOUT IT

Yusuf is there when Nicolò enters the old temple, not a vision of him, no portal behind him that will take him somewhere Nicolò cannot follow yet again before he has the chance to reach him, just Yusuf. He's alone, his head tilted upwards and eyes closed, illuminated by the shafts of sunlight that fall through the cracked ceiling. The sight of him - here and safe and whole, finally, after everything Nicolo's fought through to reach him - takes his breath away.

"Nico," Yusuf says, and opens his eyes to look at him. He smiles, and he's still Nicolò’s Yusuf, even after everything that's happened.

Nicolò can't wait another second, then, sheaths his sword at his back and walks up the stone steps towards him. Yusuf's smile widens, and then he's stepping into Nicolò's already open arms, laughing. "I missed you."

"Missed you too," Nicolò says. He kisses Yusuf's temple, holds him close. "So much, Yusuf, you have no idea-"

Yusuf leans back, cupping Nicolò's face in one hand. "I know. It's okay. I'm here."

But Nicolò knows him well enough to know something's wrong. "What is it?"

"It's not over, yet." Yusuf steps out of Nicolò's arms and back a few steps, leaving him cold. "There's so much more you don't know yet, but we're running out of time. He will return, soon, and we're not ready."

"Tell me what I need to do," Nicolò says immediately. He can't bear the idea of Yusuf disappearing again, not now when he's finally here, when every other time Nicolò has tried to reach him he's been a second too late. "Anything, and I'll do it, whatever it is. Just tell me what you need."

Yusuf smiles again, sad. "It's not you, Nico. We need more time. And I can buy it, but-" He cuts himself off.

"Then I'll help you."

Yusuf shakes his head. "You don't understand. For this to work, I need to reform the seal, and I can only do that by" - there are tears in his eyes, now, and dread running down Nicolò's spine - "by sealing myself away along with it."

Nicolò realises just a moment too late what that means. "Yusuf-"

"If I seal myself here, in the past," Yusuf continues, "when you return to our time, it will be just strong enough to hold. You will have the time you need to finish this. And once all this is over, the seal can be broken in our time."

"I can't," Nicolò says. "There has to be another way. This can't be it."

"It's the only choice we have," Yusuf says. "I cannot - this was always my path, Nicolò."

She's manipulating you, Andromache had said, the goddess. She's using Yusuf to make you do what she wants, can't you see? If Nicolò hadn't understood then, he does now - neither of them ever had a choice in this. Yusuf was chosen because Nicolò would follow him anywhere, and Nicolò was chosen for the same reason.

Nicolò realises something else then. "If you seal yourself here, you'll be trapped for thousands of years."

"I'll be asleep," Yusuf says, soft. "It'll be like the blink of an eye. So when this is all over, you'll have to come wake me up." He smiles, then, even through his tears. "Just like old times, no?"

And before Nicolò can say anything else, the air around him begins to glow gold, condensing around Yusuf, who tilts his head back and closes his eyes, and Nicolò cannot move, frozen in place by something beyond his control. All he can do is watch as the light gathers around Yusuf, blindingly bright, until Nicolò cannot see him anymore. Whatever's holding him releases, and he runs towards Yusuf even though the light hurts his eyes, and just as he reaches out the light fades.

Before him is what looks like a crystal, tinged orange, clear enough that he can see Yusuf inside, his eyes closed. He looks like he's just sleeping, like this is one of the mornings Nicolò had had to wake him but had paused for a moment just to watch him.

Nicolò lifts his hand to the crystal. It's freezing cold when he touches it. Yet again, he's too late.

"I'll come back for you," he tells Yusuf, even though he knows Yusuf can't hear him. "I swear it. I'll finish this, and I'll come back for you." His voice is trembling, but he can't let himself break down now, not when there's still work to be done. The faster he finishes his task, the sooner he can wake Yusuf.

(Nile is the first to ask when he returns through the gate, waiting for him with Andy, Quynh and Sebastien nearby. "Where's Yusuf?" she asks, looking behind him - the plan had always been that Nicolò would bring Yusuf back with him, after all.

Nicolò can't bring himself to say it out loud.)

--------------------

It feels like an age before Nicolò returns to the temple, now in the present. It's over, finally - the five of them have sealed the demon king away for good. The others are outside.

The crystal is overgrown with vines, now, just like their old favourite meeting place on the island where all of this had started. Its surface is scratched and clouded with age, but Nicolò can still make out Yusuf inside it, looking exactly as he had when Nicolò left him in the past. He hates to think of the crystal here, alone, for so much time.

There's a glowing mark on the crystal's surface that hadn't been there before. Nicolò approaches it carefully and places his hand over the mark.

Almost immediately, glowing cracks begin to grow from where his hand touches the crystal, spreading across the whole thing until it's glowing as brightly as it had when it was formed, but he can't look away. When the light dies down, Yusuf hovers in the air for just a moment before whatever spell had held him there finally breaks, and he collapses, but Nicolò is there to catch him, sinking to his knees and cradling him close. He doesn't move for a moment, and Nicolò is terrified, because what if something had gone wrong-

Yusuf gasps awake, his eyes fluttering open. He looks around frantically before catching sight of Nicolò above him, who nearly sobs with relief, holding him impossibly closer.

"Nicolò?" Yusuf whispers, his voice hoarse. Nicolò nods, unable to speak just yet, blinking back his tears and brushing Yusuf's curls away from where they've fallen into his eyes.

Then Yusuf asks, "Did I oversleep?" and Nicolò has to laugh even though it comes out sounding more like a sob, kisses his forehead and smiles. "It's over, then?"

"It's over," Nicolò confirms, and then, "I love you."

Yusuf sits up and wraps his arms around Nicolò's neck, buries his face in Nicolò's shoulder and holds on tightly. "I love you too."

(When they return, Nile is the first to them, hugs Yusuf so tightly he laughs, and then it's Sebastien's turn, then Andromache and Quynh both.

They choose to stay on the surface, all six of them. And neither Yusuf or Nicolò are the same people anymore - sometimes Nicolò wakes screaming, sometimes Yusuf gets a distant look in his eyes and it takes a worryingly long time for him to come back to himself. Sometimes there are things Yusuf still can't tell Nicolò, and vice versa.

They make it work, though. They find a quiet place in the woods, far away from the temple and any danger, and they're safe, and happy, and together.

It's all Nicolò's ever wanted, really.)

#neon writes #posting this separately in an attempt to unbury it a little #the old guard #kaysanova #ANYWAY guess whos playing skyward sword. thats right folks this is ANOTHER different zelda au #ive condensed the entire thing into this because im not going to write much else for it #but. the plot: #nicolo and yusuf are childhood rivals-to-friends-to-lovers. at the time when Shit Goes Down they're coming up to the point where they have #to pass a specific test to become soldiers/knights/whatever. the wing ceremony if youre a zelda fan but theyre both participating. anyway #they both win (andromache and quynh are two years ahead of them nile and booker are the year below but they're all like. adults. not 17) #anyway they win and go on some kind of flight around the clouds because the kicker is that this takes place on a sky island and they get #around by riding giant birds i love ss. anyway while they're flying around (victory lap or something) yusuf mentions weird dreams he's been #having. then a giant tornado appears things happen yusuf falls below the cloud barrier separating the land from the sky nicolo is thrown #from his bird. wakes up explains this to andy who is like Well Shit. cue epic quest to find yusuf who has some destiny shit to do #gods and all that. its not important #but theyre trying to defeat an evil demon king before he comes back. merrick with horns can be the visual for that. nicolo spends half of #his time chasing after yusuf who always has to leave before they can talk. maybe quynh isnt with them on sky island and is the one guiding #yusuf instead i dont know anyway eventually nicolo has to do some hero stuff and all that. and this happens when theyre running out of time #as a kind of last resort. but then nicolo nile booker andy quynh defeat The Evil and rescue yusuf and its all good #the plot of this isnt very well thought out. i just thought about that scene with zelda and then about them and had to make this about it #enjoy #the reference to yusuf oversleeping is bc there's a bit in skyward sword abt link always sleeping in and then having to wake zelda and it #causes me 10 psychic damage so i had to adapt it here. that line is the whole reason this fic exists

me feeling bad about being unaligned with binary gender and then i think about how Guz would just Get It right off the bat because honestly idk how it's such a hard concept for ppl to grasp 😭 and it makes me feel a little better fdsfjkl

#i feel bad sometimes like oohh ur such a special snowflake for not being feminine OR masculine oooh u wanna be special so bad #no you Made-Up-Person-in-my-Brain. no i dont want to be special actually fdsjkl #i really wish this was just normal. i so badly want to just be normal #honestly i start thinking ''maybe i should just be okay with being considered feminine or masculine. i should just pick one i guess'' #but no !! neither fit right !! both make me uncomfortable !! #i do understand the concepts of both but i exist outside of them somehow! and idk why thats so difficult for ppl to grasp! #it is just a little lonely seeing posts talking about ''feminine ppl or masculine ppl'' like. okay i dont fit either of those. damn. #and it feels alienating bc i guess ppl dont know unaligned folk exist! transneutral is such a rare label to see talked about! #''this is nonbinary inclusive bc im saying masculine and feminine :)'' WHAT IS SO HARD TO GRASP ABOUT NON-BINARY. ITS RIGHT IN THE NAME! #why are u re-inventing the gender binary !!!!!! u just changed the words ur using for binary gender WHAT 😭😭😭 #i think maybe i resent that i have to force myself into one category or the other for other ppls comfort tbh fdsjkl like. can i just exist. #but i do think Guz would genuinely just understand it immediately. not just because i Want him to LOL. #he'd be like ''ohhh theres a word for that? hell yeah that rules. i'll have to see if a few of the grunts heard about this shit yet'' #bc im sure there'd be a wide range of queer kids on the team LOL #if u get a bunch of misfits together ur going to have like... a LOT of queer ppl in the group FDSJFKL #dandy.cmd #vent // #💜so good at being in trouble

@ those tf2 server related tags: the lazypurple silly servers still exist. and if you want a silly-adjacent server that still has killing/pvp enabled then they also have a "TDM" server where objectives are disabled so you really just get to dick around

i figured his servers would still be around, although i don't think i ever had personally played on his servers before. i think i've seen some videos of them in the past though.

the two servers i use to hang around in through 2012-2016 were mostly just... hang-out servers? the term i refer to them as is "hub servers", similar to like... hub levels in platformers. one was a big city server where i met a good ammount of my friends on, the other was a server with maps the server owner created, which is also the server that hosted one of my maps. they had some sourcemods in common like the jetpack plugin.

im not sure if i could personally experience the vibes of those servers in the same way these days. granted anytime i play tf2 these days, it's usually to play casual, haven't touched any community servers in a long time.

#ask #anon #theres a channel ive been subbed to on youtube that made the uhh... meet the random fortress videos #those videos give me nostalgia in a way i cant describe #cause like the two servers i mentioned didnt have that exact extreme vibes going on. #but thats what it felt like to play those servers sometimes #like i see those videos and i imagine thats how the golden machine gun server was back in 2008 or so. #i never played on that server for context. but i watched plenty of videos from their channel #the golden machine gun also brings back the nostalgia of a server having custom maps specific to that server #like you couldnt experience those maps anywhere else. #those kind of maps i think honestly inspired me to get into mapping #that. and the second server listed above had maps that kinda looked not great. and i wanted to make a map that looked nicer. #i dont agree with that sentiment in going about making maps now. but thats what got me into mapping. #im told that server hosted the map i made a lot. like it was a really popular map even after i stopped hanging out there #idk. i guess what im getting at is that theres a certain magic to the servers i use to play that idk if ill ever experience the same again #thats not to say it cant be recreated or remade exactly. its just idk if i could experience it the same. #id have to be around a lot of folks from friendshow. whom of which are folks i met from those servers #though not a lot of us play live tf2 that actively these days. ive mostly been playing cause my current computer runs it well now #and ive just been having fun playing casual.... for the most part. and also customizing my guys #im okay at the game these days. ranging from pretty good to okay in most matches. #sometimes i kinda want to be in a server where i can just look pretty and fuck about. #im sure maybe ill find a place some day. ik the servers exist. i just havent really tried exploring any #i think my experience to those servers are similar to roblox servers i use to hang around in as a kid in 2008-2009 #if anyone remembers uhh... space cruise v3 or whatever. thats the vibes i want to achieve for a map some day. #like youre just in a big space cruiser with your own personal room and you can do jobs to get money and buy furnature #and just mill about and shit. too bad that world doesnt really work anymore with robloxs code changes since 2007.... #anyway thank you for telling me anon! i do appreciate it!!

gonna be real noah kahan doesnt appeal much to me because all of a sudden he was everywhere and inescapable but i think i get why people like him? just not for me 😔

Oh noooo I get it though. He did kind of explode and then end up absolutely everywhere. I grew up in New England, so not only has he been on my radar for while, but for me personally, his songs are extremely relatable - there is a certain trauma associated with growing up in that area haha (I also think his song Maine is so stupidly clever because there are the lines:

"If only, baby "There were cameras in the traffic lights They'd make me a star"

AND IN MAINE IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE CAMERAS IN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS like there aren't red light cameras OR speed camera in the traffic lights which I am aware is a very weird niche thing but it was a very important part of my summer driving up to beach when I was a teenager in my very red car lol)

Thank you for sending in this ask! I hope you had a wonderful Sunday and that you have a great rest of your week!

A youtuber has made a video about a place very close to my hometown and I tell u what so far he is not being very factual and the latent small town instinct to rip disrespectful outsiders apart in defense of Our Town has activated >:(

#theres an old airbase with abandoned housing units #BUT THE TOWNSHIP OF FINLAND IS VERY MUCH NOT ABANDONED which isnt as good oOoOo sPoOky content for your dumb channel but its actually hones #and also the people who live there are very much cranky about strangers fucking about (almost like they're used to annoying kids bothering #them while urban exploring. which is so fucking valid) #even i didnt go fuck around up there out of respect (and fear lol) of the folks up there who are just making the most of a $ depressed area #anyway im only 2 minutes into the video and this is what im already annoyed at #he's going ohmyGoDdD cRaZy i BeT its HAUNTED over the most milquetoast decay like its his first time exploring #the military activity poisoned the primary well and thats why people left seemingly overnight. it was just before the crash of 08 #so the people who were invested in turning parts of the old base housing into low income housing pulled out #WHICH YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU DID ANY RESEARCH BEFORW GOING TO A PLACE MR OOO AND AHH #it's the fake sensationalism that gets my gears so ground #its very poor and many folks struggled with addiction and when they had to leave a bunch of stuff behind it wasnt for fun #oh ive got whopper of a comment in composition for when through this 40 minute peice of rudeness #as an urban exploring enthusiast myself im not bemoaning that part. it's the Contentification and Chills voice commentary that has me riled

a recap of dear wink's first bit of faerun adventuring:

-found and recruited shadowheart, gale, astarion, laezel, wyll, and karlach

-found withers (after. Getting silenced so many fucking times by a bunch of obnoxious skeletons)

-almost freed a goblin but realized the hassle was not worth the reward

-keeps detecting thoughts on anybody they aren't personally acquainted with

-took a tadpole out from another dead true soul

-learned: lae'zel is kind of a nerd, shadowheart is scared of wolves, wyll is in a bad contract, and that gale needs to eat magic or he'll die

-killed owlbear mom :(

-brought scratch to camp

-took 2 levels in wild magic sorc and 1 in bard

got any good country recs there mate? 👀

my computer crashed when i initially opened this ask im in hysterics

BOY DO I EVER THOUGH!!

mostly this is just music i like, so naturally there's the caveat of it potentially not being to your taste; on top of that some of these may be additionally or technically classified as rock, folk, and/or indie/alternative because music genres are...so nebulous and i do not understand them...and sometimes the results when i search for the genre of certain artists just dont make sense or dont apply to individual songs......

so im being a hefty bit generous in calling some of these country, but they do diverge from those typical Beer Truck God America songs that pop up when searching for country while having a similar or related musical style, and hopefully they'll be a breath of fresh air for you!

i put my personal favourites in bold :] these are not ordered in any particular sort of style categorisation so it's a little messy, but each should link to a youtube version of the song! theres a decent array of different styles and tempos here i think

The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie - Colter Wall

Sleeping on the Blacktop - Colter Wall

Johnny Boy's Bones - Colter Wall

Ballad of a Law-Abiding Sophisticate - Colter Wall (this guy again!)

really any Colter Wall song/cover i'm going to be honest

Raise Hell - Brandi Carlile

The Cremation of Sam McGee - Seth Boyer

In the Pines - Danny Farrant & Paul Rawson

Back from the Edge - Lord Huron

Meet Me in the Woods - Lord Huron

Pretty Lavinia - American Murder Song

Murder! Murder! - American Murder Song

Hurt - Johnny Cash

God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash

The Railroad - Goodnight, Texas

Down by the River - The Dirty River Boys

Providence - Poor Man's Poison

Hell's Bells - Cary Ann Hearst

Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood (this one's popular)

Blown Away - Carrie Underwood

Bad News - Whitey Morgan and the 78's

The Curse of the Fold - Shawn James

The Wicked - Blues Saraceno

Grave Digger - Blues Saraceno

Little Black Train - Woodie Guthrie (if you've seen Over the Garden Wall, you'll recognise this; it has different lyrics from the cover in OTGW though)

hopefully none of the links are broken or directing to the wrong song :'D happy listening, lmk if there are any particular songs you enjoyed! and if none of these work out, thats totally fine, everyone has their tastes of course

#inbox #anonymous #music #so much tag commentary incoming sorry im super scatterbrained AGDHSHGS #honorary mention is the crane wives theyre not country but their music is BANGIN and doesnt tend #to sound horribly out of place on country playlists depending on surrounding songs #my crane wives rec is scarecrow bones. listen to it. NOW #another honorary mention is do your worst by rival sons. more rock than country i think #part of why its so difficult to categorise country is that #a lot of songs that used to be considered rock are called country today #like johnny cash's music. thats all rock music. but by todays standards we'd consider that country #so rock & country go really hand in hand especially when you take into account their cultural origins (black musicians) #genre categorisation is so arbitrary to me and so so so so confusing when you get to overlapping music sounds 😭 #so usually if something is called 'folk rock' or smth along the lines of folk i'll consider it country mostly depending on. vibes. tone. et #i grew up HATING country music bcs literally all i heard on country radios in texas was #trucks beer god america and the occasional woman. and it was sooooo annoying i thought all country music was like that #so i was one of those 'i like any music except country' kids #started listening to carrie underwood & later on stumbled into colter wall and boy did it turn my whole attitude around #poor mans poison is partly on here because my 9th grade teacher introduced it to me and i was like WHAT is that sound i love it #and he was like its good music. take it with you. #ANYWAYS thanks for stopping by i hope at least some of these pique your interest!!!!

Ever see a fandom post and go woAowie that is NOT at all how I've interpreted canon and if I interact with this post neither of us will have a good time about it

#'this is the end' who told you that??? #stakes are high yes. why would it just end if they fail. consequences can be just as fun as achieving a hard won goal #maybe we dont know what those consequences are but im sure the person planning it all does #and if they do win (which they will. they have help) thats not just going to be it! #they blow up the machine and get a glimpse of the moon still there and matt goes 'good job guys! thats all folks see you in c4!' #why would they DO that #its been a barely 3rd of how long their campaigns usually run. theyve barely dug into chets and ashtons and laudnas and fcgs shit #dorian hasnt even come back yet. #when the world doesnt end theyre probably going to take a rest and dig into personal shit instead of stressful world ending shit #mobster toymakers delilah maybe out there still dunamancy brain and the nobodies anything about fcg and their path #jesus. rant over had to get that out. campaign isnt ending in 2 weeks i don't know WHY you would think that
