#this part hit me kinda hard

[turtleblogatlast]

Don’t think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #donnie and leo’s sexualities being practically swapped was unintentional but it works way too well #same with mikey and raph tbh it was a happy accident #anyway I kinda hc raph as the type who doesn’t care about physical appearance just if you fight lol #Mikey’s more than happy with friends and family #Donnie is a BIG romantic but he needs time to sus a person out fully before he gets the hots for them #leo meanwhile isn’t keen on romance unless it’s with someone he grows to really really REALLY trust #I could go on and probably will later (knowing me) but it is late and I am tired haha #turtle art tag #curious as to what everyone else headcanons #the only one of these I’ll defend forever is Bi (female-leaning) donnie and trans leo #all the others can change over time but I really like where they’re sitting right now #I hope these are the right flags too because it was kinda hard to find them #went looking for transmasc flag in particular but I couldn’t find a solid agreed upon version 😭 #ngl a big part of why I hc mikey as aro is because of a pun #my phone often misspells aromantic as aromatic and- and you get it- because aromatic herbs and- and Mikey is a chef do YOU GET IT #note that while I hc leo as bisexual (male-leaning) I still think he’s prob closer to demi in that as well just not as far into the spectrum #if that makes sense #headcanons are fun and hard to narrow down at the same time alas #I made this in like an hour can you tell djjdjd #I drew them all from memory so if there’s anything wrong…shhh #and if you’re wondering for April and Splinter #Both are Bisexual (female-leaning) but April is also Panromantic #I almost wanna make Splinter demiromantic too so Big Mama’s betrayal hits just a bit harder

Fascinated by people just getting into WTNV and asking if there is a list of episodes to listen to, omitting the "unimportant" stuff I assume.

Chill, you all. Night Vale has been ongoing for around 11 years and it's yet to show any sign that it intends to end any time soon, so you can take your time. Even if it ended soon, there is time.

Enjoy the episodes as they are. Chew on them.

WTNV does this very special thing of making the town feel alive, not every citizen gets an arc or even a spotlight, but they're constant, they're there, living their lives. Those little details, little mentions of everyone growing and continuing living as time pass make it feel so nice.

And then, one day, Night Vale surprises you, and, oh, hey, remember that one intern whose death wasn't confirmed? Well, he has come back, and if you remember him and remember what happened to him at the time, you'll be able to connect the dots of the current arc faster.

The MOST unexpected things come back. The town is alive.

Just enjoy the ride! Enjoy Cecil's voice. Enjoy listening about this friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.

#welcome to night vale #wtnv #i'm just sad people kinda feel like they need to consume this and do it fast or else... what? #like please. you don't need to do that!!! take your time to process and chew. some episodes hit hard and just leave you there thinking #besides. it's not like there's one main plotline exactly. there's a lot of arcs. usually like a big one each year but still #it's not that continues. it's been going for far too long for that. big part of what makes it enjoyable are the episodes that are- #technically unrelated to anything else going on with the main plot but still amazing and incredible #shout out to guidelines for disposal and ufo sightings and the vampire of lombardi street. they haunt me forever

okayokayokay... hear me out. Barbie Fairytopia AU where everything is the same, except the necklace the Enchantress gave Elina didn't give her wings, she instead got the power of Magic Footsteps.

[ID: a digital art sketch of the characters Dandelion and Elina from Barbie Fairytopia running/flying through a field of flowers. Dandelion is a slender fairy with long pigtails, a skirt made of dandelion fluff and petals, and pixie wings fluttering behind her, orange and white sparkles trailing behind her as she flies excitedly by Elina. Elina is a taller, likewise slender fairy but, diverging from canon, she doesn't have wings and is instead running on glittering, magical, platforms that appear wherever she steps, while Dandelion flies beside her. She's wearing a dress with a layered, rose-petal skirt, with a sleeveless top with two petal-like decorations that trail off her shoulders. Her hair is in a low bun. The two are looking at each other and smiling. /END ID]

#my friend and I have been watching through the barbie catalogue (in part bc I didn't grow up with these movies also bc they're a vibe) #the fairytopia movies are near and dear to me as a disabled person like that first movie hits HARD #and I do love the franchise but also just. i feel in my bones that it would be so much more powerful if she didn't get wings #like the whole lesson was that she was special with or without wings and at the end with the 'I DON'T NEED YOUR WINGS LAVERNA' like yknow #and as a disability metaphor it kinda like.... oof ouch my heart my bones my soul my credit card my IP address #so i just think it'd be cool if rather than getting wings she got essentially a mobility aid and she'd still need help to get around #bc her disability hasn't vanished but it's easier to get around (which is the purpose of an aid) #it would be a great way to normalize that stuff for kids while also giving Elina like power upgrades #and then we got to see Fairytopia become more accessible throughout the rest of the movies #idk just my thoughts asldkjf #just doodlin #sky art #sky chats #not wordgirl #described images #barbie #barbie fanart #barbie fairytopia #barbie fairytopia au

@vostokmcclellan you have no clue what you have just unleashed within me. You reap what you sow. You have asked, and you shall DEFINITELY receive

Intoduction to C,honny jash 🔥🔥🔥 (no way fire... like from *gets shot)

CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER OKAY. OKAY. so chonny jash is this really cool singer guy song cover man on YouTube he makes some really good goddamn music and if you like tally hall, will wood, lemon demon (all other alternative/indie music creators and bands) then you MIGHT like him.

I think his most popular work/the work that gets most people invested into his music in the first place would be his album CCCC (chonny’s charming chaos compendium) which is a cover album consisting of songs that were originally from tally hall before jash took the lyrics and the music and like. Molded it to fit his ocs. That’s the best way I can describe it.

The three main characters of this album would be Heart, Mind, and Soul, and people (including me) GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS OVER THEM jash’s writing and singing and like general music skills are so good if you want to get into this album I’d seriously consider checking out his mind electric video first (the twelve minute one, it has 3 songs in total and they all do a pretty good job of introducing all three characters respectively).

Not only is the music like REALLY FUCKING GOOD the entire. Differentiation between sepereate characters based off of jash's artistic skills thing + motifs/symbolism for each one is extremely well thought out and the relationships between the three of these guys are CRAZY and TOXIC and RIVETING and bottom line SUPER GODDAMN RELATABLE to the vast majority of those in his audience. I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy concept albums/piecing together a story based off of several songs for me it was certainly an arduous process but BOY was it rewarding.

The lore/message itself is mostly up to listener interpretation but I personally like to think of that album as being centered around how valuable self acceptance is, how important communication and understanding and empathy is in a relationship, learning to break free from the bars that society cages one within, and just general dealings/causations of psychological turmoil. I think that what I like the MOST about CCCC tho is how lax/free you can be with your interpretations. it allows a LOT of space for creative liberty and overall message variation, and I like that. I like that very much.

OH and if you enjoy witty lyricism/enjoy having a bunch of allusions that you can rabbit-hole yourself into then you’ll probably like chonny jash . His stuff is like a puzzle but in video/music form. Anyway chonny jash changed my life I think everybody should listen to and look at the lyrics of one of his songs at least once in their life this shit is so good

Tergun 🤤

AND . AND TRIGUN. TRIGUN ISN’T A VIDEO GAME it’S a space western anime. Well OKAY it was originally a manga from the 90s that got adapted into an anime in the late 90s and then ANOTHER newer anime in 2023 so it’s actually just a broad term for these 3 pieces of media .

This is very general btw and while all adaptations go about it in different ways all of them center around the same plot; humans completely NERFED earth so they sent out these ships in order to find another habitable planet, and this mission is called “project seeds”. Aboard these ships are a bunch of humans put into cold sleep but OBVIOUSLY they can’t survive without resources, so alongside the cold sleep people are these human-made organisms called “Plants” who produce the necessities + more that humans need to survive.

Still with me? Ok So everything’s all fine and dandy, but then suddenly due to an event that I cannot disclose because of spoiler related reasons these ships CRASH on a deserted sandy desolate planet, and the remaining humans are then forced to survive solely off of the remaining plants (since all the technology from the spacefaring age was lost in the crash).

Now that the worldbuilding stuff’s outta the way, the main character is this dude named Vash the Stampede who is constantly being chased and hunted down because of this CRAZY bounty he’s got on his head and this is where . The main themes of Trigun start to shine through. It’s about morality and the lives of other people, about the cycles of abuse that lead to why people do certain things and it dives quite deep into the psychological and philosophical aspects ESPECIALLY since this is like a “kill or be killed” world and the main character ALWAYS chooses NOT to kill, no matter what.

I started out with watching the newest adaptation (Trigun stampede) but there’s no right or wrong order to consume the three medias, so start with whichever one you’d like ,,,, assuming you do want to start watching it, anyway.

Judging from what little i know about ur interests, I think trigun would be more up your alley BUT ALSO chonny jash is so good ESPECIALLY CCCC AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ENJOY A SMALLER AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS COUGH COUGH COUGH but it's ultimately up to you, this is all assuming you'd wanna delve into anything in the first place. anyway yeah rant over . 👍

#I know this is an f451 acc but bear with me here #the brainrot has hit #me spewing my twisted gospel #these are (somewhat) old-ish hpfxs btw so if I got some things wrong I apologize #cough #stinkygirldays pee you!!!!!!! 😡 #unshowered #I love acting like I know what I’m talking about #yapathon #kinda copied my friend at the trigun part I was having somewhat of a hard time remembering I am a #fake fan

#i shouldn't make a post on this but as someone who's into a group that is also compared to nct i feel a sort of interesting defensiveness #after hearing shinee's latest single and knowing that its being compared to nct becase of mutuals n all #like ana wantbytaemin said like.. if you think that sounds like nct you just legit don't listen to anything except kpop #the part that they're probably comparing to nct is this trend of a somewhat isolation of vocals in the chorus where the chorus is more #spoken than it is sung + with like one layer of instrumentals in the back #i've noticed this among other hit kpop songs so it seems like it's really just a thing right now. im not a fan of it either but what's #happening in shinee's hard song is /not/ the same as that #what's happening in hard is legit just a hip hop thing. if you're finding an out right repulsion to it you should probably question #your prejudices. anyways KJSDH #again i dont really have much jurisdiction to be making this post but its kinda baffling to me that people would make that connection

Steven Universe.. hit different and I don’t really understand why? Thinking about any of my other old hypefixations, I smile. But Steven Universe just makes me a deeply uncomfortable kind of sad that latches onto my brain like a leech and doesn’t let go for many hours. And I have no idea what it did to deserve that lmao

#I guess this show was a much more massive part of my life than I realized? #it's not my favourite show but I think it's. part of me now #if I'd watched it all in one hit for the first time now I'd think ''woag that was awesome'' and proceed to be normal about it #I had a hard time being normal about things I really liked as a kid and 'cause this show went on for so long and I followed it religiously- #for the ENTIRE time it was airing- #I think it became a permanent resident in my brain along with the emotional state I was in when I started watching it #when I think of Steven Universe I'm flooded with all the ways my childhood self took it way too seriously #I think about things I just MADE UP about the show through theories and implied backstory- all the deeper things that never even happened #and it gives me this unscratchable itch. this weird sense of longing #wughfgdh anyways #my ears ache from getting weirdly choked up about this lmao #just did a shortened rewatch of the whole show through watching Scoot's reaction videos #and like #bruh #the show is y'know. REALLY GOOD. But not THAT good jesus christ #nothing is THAT good #it's kinda cool that I used to have such deep emotions about literally everything but man I'm glad I'm not 13 anymore bahah #mannnnnn I really set this show up for failure by expecting it to reach this impossible unachievable level of depth #and then being kinda bummed when it didn't #it's a CARTOON Cas. a reallly fucking good one just the way it is. calm down child #anyways might draw Greg because he's the goat #steven universe #rant #(?)

should i have gone to sleep? yep. did i instead read imogen obviously in one sitting (lying in my bed)? you bet.

#imogen obviously #WOW that was a good book 5 stars #gretchen does embody my fears that i had a tear ago #the last couple chapters hit me hard #it’s not my *exact* experience - there’s no christian identity stuff which is a major part of my journey #but i don’t have to be fully reflected in something to relate to it and feel seen #i mean. everyone’s unique anyway so it’s not like we can be exactly seen in a story #but gosh. the fear i felt that i was bi as a pick-me or a people-pleaser #or thinking ‘i only like one girl’ or ‘i like her bc i think she’s queer’ when i’ve actually liked girls before that #two things #1. becky abertalli the author you are #2. i really want to write a queer christian story. because that is me and i want people like i was to know they are loved and not sinful #(for this) and it’s okay to be confused and scared and to pray. #sorry kinda made these tags about me lol

[pyromaniacblujay]

the only reason why i haven’t changed the name of my AU yet is because i’m really, really attached to being able to call them "survivor [character]"... i’m afraid that with the name that keeps popping up in my head, calling them that after a name change wouldn’t make much sense

i’ve been thinking of calling it "fathoms of the void/basement/mind" or something like that... with the direction i want to take it now that i have a vague narrative in mind, simply describing it as a "survivor" AU doesn’t cut it anymore

#j04.txt #there's also been some minor confusion regarding a survival TV show LOL #limbus inspiration hit me hard... i used to have basically no narrative in mind but now i'm kinda sorta putting something together #the theme has shifted from being a survival story of a bunch of random people finding happiness despite hardship #(although that part of it still exists) #to being a story about coming to terms with yourself and your past and how it shapes someone #and then trying to find your way forward with a new perspective #tboi survivor fathoms au #survivor fathom rambles

after six years of the game being out and after three and a half years of me actually playing the game i have finally beat botw. did u know finishing video games is. fun,,

#hey its not as bad as norn9 where im only a third in after six years. and rhythm thief took me a genuine decade #im very good at taking my time #MY IMPRESSIONS its a good game :) i think i had a little over 100 hours by the end. one thing about the final boss fight though - #it made me kinda miss like true classic zelda scripted boss fights LOL but lots of fun! #some of the dlc stuff i couldnt do like the champions ballad and the sword thing RIP had to look up the cutscenes later~ #theyre tough! but also my playstyle has always been a bit of. just run and go for it #planning and stealth is not my strong suit. by the end i was running directly up to guardians and just killing them before they killed me #i can eat kebabs faster than they can shoot lasers. i am unstoppable #the soundtrack was nice! subdued obvs since its open world #but the standout tracks are really standout. of course i love rito village night ver being dragon roost island #and the hyrule castle theme turning into zeldas lullaby in the internal parts hit me #and of course the main theme is iconic. i like the version with the hard break in the middle the most i love that cut so much #i know people edited it out and in the live version its not as harsh because its live #but i LOVE IT i love it so much. mix of synthetic breaks with a fantastical and traditional sounding theme. awesome #that whole 3 and a half years before i got a copy of the game (i wanted to beat skyward sword first) i didnt look up like anything #didnt pay attention to anything people were saying. heard something about it being open world. heard some speedruns were like an hour #and i heard the theme. and i listened to that theme on repeat for all those years. so so good #now i will probably do that for totk- not knowing anything about it for three years until i finally play it LOL thats how it is so far #people have told me about it. but truthfully i wasnt really listening. sowwy. i was focused on botw orz #but i wanna play something different now. take a break. also wait until i can find someone selling totk used for under 70 cad KJDLJFKDSJDKS #i am NOT paying nearly a hundo for a videoed game nintendo you cant make me #maybe now i should finish all the other games in my backlog. or i could start 5 new ones. hmmmmmmmm

#not 2 be like. negative but i just kinda got hit hard by the way my relationship w my best friend has changed #dont get me wrong i understand that her girlfriend will be super important to her esp bc she lives across the world and is only physically #here for another 2 or so weeks #but my best friend just got back from a trip to another city to see an artist she loves and as she came in i got up to go see her and ask hl #how it was but she was in her room w her gf before i could and thats fine i get it and like she hasnt done anything wrong i can not #emphasize that enough like i hold no bitter feelings to her she is excited to talk to her gf understandably #it just hit me that like. oh yeah. i have no one else that i go to about literally anything but she does #and its less ab her so much as its. its just hitting me that i dont really have? friends? #i have one or two people but like. i only have One Person thats my go to fave person always tell them everything #and i just. I've realized that its not reciprocated the way it used to be #and that i think is just like a part of growing up #i dont have a partner i dont have someone my life is intrinsically linked to #like a best friend is great but its not. relationships are placed to a higher level you know like its jusy more important #and i just. ive nevr Had a partner really. unless u count a like 2 month thing when i was 12 which i dont count #not to be depresso but i am just not the kind of person that people want or desire #and thats been the case long before i came out as trans but its extra complicated now since i dont. Fully pass #idk not 2 sound sad i just wanna be loved #and i think theres only so many times i can hear the most important person in my life come home and talk excitedly ab things thru the walls #and then never actually get told anything myself. not just ab things shes excited for but just in general #we were meant to go to a house viewing together a few days ago and it was only half an hour before it was happening when no one else was #home that i messaged them to check in and they were like oh yeah we're not going we have this and this going on #which like. fine whatever but i dont drive and getting anywhere fast is hard so it just. was stressful #but it just seems like i am constantly out of the loop. everyone i live with is in a relationship w each other and i am just here #in every aspect of my life i am Just There and im tired of it #not to sound desperate or needy but i just would like to. be noticed? or feel prioritized? or even wanted #idk this is. i just needed to rant i think im emotional bc my hormones r a bit wack #im due for my testosterone shot in a few days but i dont have the money or time to go to the doctors lately so its being pushed back #a few weeks and its just. i think its messing w me a bit #i mean i feel this way literally all the time but just the like. the being upset and emotional and posting ab it i think is bc of that #idk i needed to get it out idk it this will stay up or not

[newlydeparteddog]

Carol and the End of the World is destroying me slowly lol

Edit

I finished it. The last episode was interesting. I legit didn't expect the twist of what caused the beginning of the episode. The surfing one was weird, her parents kinda annoyed me. I love Donna, she's awesome man. Her story of working too much and what she lost BC of it, is tragic and many people would feel that one. The single dad's story with bonding with his son was really sweet. Makes you really think about things and what you would do if placed in that situation. I'm not sure how to catagorize how I felt about it, if I liked it or not. It's philosophical more often than not (which I did like), but dang you want to shake some of the characters for just not grasping at what little life is left.

I'm glad I watched it anyway, BC I was gonna just scroll past and in the end it gives me a new angle to look at things from.

#some parts hit so hard but greg is pretty awesome #i went in kinda hating it but it grew on me

#mikassounds #now. please understand. this is not to say i HATE any of these songs. a LOT of them are very closely vying for second and third place for m #i just had to put them in separate spots. i LOVE this album. #the lyrics are so so good and it just hits so hard in places #passager is so. #and amour pirate. 'dit-moi a quoi ça sert d'être comme un trésor que personne n'adore' OUGHJGHG #it's so simple but it HITS. yeah :((( c'est VRAI que parfois je me sens comme un trésor que personne n'adore!!! rrrrrghh #i loooove bougez man. that BRIDGE. heavenly. #not a lot of proper bridges on this album! but the few we do get are so so good #the one in bougez is my favourite part of the song. and c'est la vie's bridge. i mean. chef's fucking KISS #anyway all in all 8/10 i do think they all sounded kinda samey #but fortunately it was a good samey #and the lyrics more than make up for any melodic repetitiveness :]

listened to francis forever & didn’t cry so. Progress!

#like it absolutely hits yeah #but. i think like. realizing the core of why i want to be able to approach this in a healthy way. is helping me actually work towards being #better about it? like #yesterday i wouldve heard the autumn comes line and sobbed until i was dry heaving #but indulging that part of my brain that just wants to cry and cry and cry about it is just #turning myself into a worse and worse potential friend #and if i become someone who’s not helping at all then i wouldnt feel right being there #but i also like. idk. i want to be someone who can still be there but healthy about it. like i’m hellvent on it #so even if i can’t get myself over it i want to at least. sit healthily on it #i can’t decide if accepting that i am not and will not be over any of it for a long time is a. healthy approach #but it’s helping me hold myself accountable #so it’s good enough #like i’m not. not struggling GDJDHDHD i’m definitely struggling but #i think worrying less about where things are going to end up and thinking more about what kind of person i need to be to not. be like. #to not make things feel worse #and trying to be that #boundaries are hard but i’m trying to hold to them regardless GDJDHDH #mano.mindtalk #neg #kind of??? it’s kind of positive but still a vent kinda so under the neg tag it goes

I often forget I have incredibly bad night-blindness compared to the average person so sometimes someone will point out something in the dark and I'm like "whuh. u have superpowers"

#the part of my brain that processes visual signals is kinda fucked up so darkness looks like tv static to me #when i was a kid i used to think the static was individual photons hitting my retinas. if only it were that cool #bright lights are also really hard for me to see things in for the same reason. can't see in the dark can't see in the light lol #my bf will show me his phone screen sometimes which he keeps at very high brightness for reasons beyond me #and it feels like i'm looking into the sun quite literally
