Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.

Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #me back to talking about Leo’s incredibly high affinity for subterfuge #genuinely think it’s one of if not his best and most honed skill #AND IT’S A VITAL NINJA SKILL #above fighting battle tactics and the like #it’s verbal blindspots #Sun Tzu’s The Art of War literally states that “the greatest victory is won without battle’’ #and idk I think Leo would be so good at this and we see him do it in the show quite a bit but not to the amount I yearn for #but yeah like just think Leo getting sent in and his bros standing guard #of course he wouldn’t be the ONLY one involved but 100% he’d be the main player #man idk I just really really love when their specific skill sets that ARENT the fighting ones are used it’s so interesting to me #like we already know Leo can easily take in a whole room’s worth of people and know exactly how to avoid them all #we know he can manipulate manipulators into his schemes #we know he’s good at improv which is essential to the games of speech high end criminals like to play #it would be SO INTERESTING #OKAY HEAR ME OUT- #he’s asked by Big Mama to join her at a criminal ball of sorts #she needs to regain power and he needs to take down big name criminals #thus a deal #no but really it’s so cool seeing Leo specifically do his best tactics through thinking like his enemy and predicting how they’d act

bro your pepperman and peppino comic hasn’t left my brain since i saw it. i just love the dynamic of a ginormous freak and peppino being both intimidated and flustered.. bro i wish there was more of those two

I should draw them some more bc i really like the dynamic ive written for them 😊 For u anon, i will share some minor (silly) thoughts ive had about them

-Pepperman absolutely has a little baby crush on this man. TEENY TINY. The kind of crush that means nothing- hes a little 💅🏾 and hes an artist like ur gonna be a little gay w all of the friends you make; thats just the way it goes 😭 Like Peppino is sooooo handsome and soooo strong and he can cook and hes smart and he doesnt stand down when confronted (he LOVES this the most). So people in Peppermans Rich Friend circle notice the complete 180 his personality does when Peppino is invited to outings. Its not that Pepperman is being weird and shallow or fake, its that Peppino is probably his First Friend that wasnt rich and snobbish in anyway. Some part of him really REALLY wants to impress Peppino and it makes him act a little ‘foolish’ heehee 😊

-Following up on this, Pepperman visits the pizzeria out of the blue like MONTHS after he first invites Peppino out for the art sessions and like okay maybe they are friends MAYBE…but like he is still kind of anxious bc the last time he came here he almost got his skinned so part of him is like ‘maybe hes only amicable bc feels obligated to cooperate within the walls of my studio…’ BUT he shuffles awkwardly into the shop and Peppino not only waves but SMILES at him while hes attending to a customer and Pepperman is like ‘HEEEHEEUHEEHOOO………….’

-Peppermans art is worth a fortune; he is very well respected in the art world and any pieces hes made (including self portraits) are absolutely stunning. His abstract art is as beautiful as his realism; auctioning them off and doing occasional commission work is how hes acquired most of his wealth. Because of this, it is a MASSIVE show of good faith and comradery that Pepperman will often gift art to Peppino. Unfortunately, Peppino will not accept statues or huge marble sculptures BUT Pepperman is delighted to see Peppino accept paintings and mini sculptures, even if he LOOKS a bit confused about it 😭

-SO… when Pepperman comes by the shop some weeks later, he is overwhelmingly excited to see one of his pieces hung up on the walls. The feeling of having his art fawned over in an art exhibit does not even BEGIN to compare to the excitement of seeing his art being displayed in this common mans shop. Its a portrait of Peppino, stylized, w some funky lookin colors. Nothing fancy or particularly evocative. Just. Peppino! Looking a bit wistful with colors winding around him.

Even Peppino is like (snrk) “Dont you have your fancy arts in a museum or something? Dont see the big deal ‘bout ‘a this.” But its HUGE its like…suddenly it is not just his muse entertaining his artistic vision…his muse VALUES his artistic vision………..it makes him SO happy. He thinks about it for days. Its like; he had no idea that this is what it felt like to have…inspiration and motivation from an Outside source. His art, while breathtaking, felt like it lacked something…Rich. Years and years of self reflection and introspection and Never expanding his horizons, never realizing he was Capable of expanding his horizons until now…he is just a lucky little pepper 🫑🌶✨

#answered #chattin #long post #peppino #pepperman #this is also why i refuse to make human designs for him and vigi bc otherwise i will Not be normal 😭😭😭 #also i did not add this but i think it helps to know that pepperman is- #-younger than peppino. hes like. it is funny to try and age a fucking pepper #but comparitively he is like early to mid 30s #so hes technically a rich brat in peppinos eyes; just like the noise #but pepperman is more eccentric than bratty…. #he IS a dick and hes brash and a bully and he dangles money over peoples heads #at least #he USED to #but peppino was a man with a failing business and his house on the line #and saddled w debt #and when given the opportunity to become RICH beyond his comprehension #he said ‘no. i want this shop. i worked for this shop and i fought for this shop. im not going to give it up after all that’ #and he just. kept working! he comes to work early in the morning and he leaves right as the sun is setting #and he works on his expenses and utilities in his small little office in the back of his shop. hes just. some guy. who owns a pizza shop #and something about that like FLIPPED a switch in peppermans brain #and now hes a little obsessed… #well he was a little obsessed after he got his ass handed to him on a platter but now its a bit less Crazed and alot more Fond #hes fawning a little bit and he has no idea its happening #peppino knows tho heehee #but its sweet its not serious its just admiration and peppino can deal w that 😊

Tried oil painting for the first time

#I’m not used to painting yet 😭 #I wanted to try and do an oil painting for my next portfolio piece #basically tried using the same techniques I use when digitally painting #it’s a lot of fun to work with tho!! #figuring out solvents was tricky #would’ve liked to add more detail but the sun started setting #and the glare from my light prevented me from working properly 😔 #oil painting #my art #art #haliai art #painting

Day 28: Adventure

it's never easy to set off on your own, especially when you don't have the best sense of direction...

#miqomarch #miqomarch 2024 #ffxiv miqo'te #seeker of the sun #final fantasy 14 #when he first set off from the conjurer's guild he wasn't the best caster! #it was right after the calamity and he had never really managed to do a whole lot of it on his own #(turns out it's because he's set up for an entirely different kind of aether manipulation #but he didn't know that quite yet) #but he DID have working knowledge of pretty much every plant out there #and the ability to sneak into areas to get enough to work with #which is still valuable enough to a group of budding adventurers! #not that he did much of it. turns out it was a little too hectic for him #but it did put him in contact with a few ala mhigans who ended up bringing him back with them to gyr abania #where he actually could put his talents to use!

Photos from my Hyrule. The ice storm did a lot of damage on our fave hiking spot through the forest. They've cleaned up most of the fallen trees off the trail but one fallen tree's root ball was on the path so we had to climb over it to get past.

#it was very destructive to the forest #downed trees everywhere #stormy's life #my brother almost fell in a ravine #and then the sun set when we got to the summit and we had to walk back in the dark #Iprefer hiking in the dark using night vision #but my companions did not :( #so they used a headlamp and phone light

Found the ultimate theme song for Eileen, Bloody Crow, and the Bloodborne crow-hunters in general.

Feather, feather Can you tell me Where the hours go Where time flows? Is it written upon the stars Upon the Milky Way That we must burn bright Before we fade away?

Mother, mother Can you tell me Where the fire goes When the flames cease? "From the ashes to the astral plain Where the setting sun meets the sea, Brendan."

I live by the river Where the old gods still dream Of inner communion With the open sea

Through the eye of the hunter In search of a prey Neither beast nor human In my philosophy

If you don't recognize me Well, it's simply because I've outgrown these old clothes Time to move on

For you and I will outlive The masks life gave us When this shadow play comes To a close

—

The song seems to be a reference to the mythological tale of Bran and his voyage, but there are so many good inspo-things for Bloodborne.

Bran means “raven” and there are raven sounds in the song 😭

Some of the lyrics just fit BB so well, and the original name of the crow-hunter character in Bloodborne was “Brandon” which is the same name as Brendan. They all mean raven, these names.

Anyway, I am going to draw all of the crow-hunters soon and with the lyrics of this song. This is too perfect.

#Youtube #“neither beast nor human in my philosophy” #“you and i will outlive the masks life gave us when this shadowplay comes to a close” #THAT’S EILEEN #brandon wrote this istg #his name is literally in it lol #or we could just say that line about the ashes and astral plane where the setting sun meets the sea BRENDAN #is actually just someone saying that and calling the listener “raven” #this is for my crows #le crows #eileen the crow #bloody crow of cainhurst #brandon the crow #bloodborne music #bloodborne headcanons #brendan perry

Anyone else have that advanced sleep phase disorder thing? People always act jealous that I can easily wake up at 4 or 5am but I literally fall asleep so damn early I don't have time for a social life.

Like oh yeah it's so fun wanting to go to bed at 7pm every night and having to fight it every night because once I start doing that my body will start demanding i sleep from 6pm to 3am again. Do you know how irritated I am by this? I'm tired all the time because I can't sleep when my body wants to.

#advanced sleep phase disorder #sleep disorder #ive had it forever too #my parents never had to enforce a bed time #hell my mother used to encourage me to stay up later #i should probably see a doctor for this but like i doubt they can help #the winter is worse too because i always want to sleep when the suns starts to set and wake up hours befire sunrise

love love love when the grass is full of daisies and bright yellow dandelions. that’s what childhood looks like to me

#i get so happy <333 just wanna go lie die and make daisy chains and talk abt life with my friends and eat fruit and not look at the time #or like when we used to go to the park after school with mum and all the other mums when it was nice out until the sun set #jasmine has thoughts

by any chance does anyone have any demon slayer fic recs where nezuko is actually more of a proper character and gets development and is allowed to grow? cause honestly the further i've gotten in this manga the more disappointed in it i've been with the lack of meaningful development, especially in nezuko

#no idea if this is actually a controversial opinion on the series cause i've not come across much criticism #but i do think it falls short on every character. the concepts are great and i enjoy the characters and had a lot of fun watching and #reading this series. but i do think that it fails to do much that's actually meaningful or impactful with any of the characters #ready to be disagreed with but i feel like the only development nezuko ever got was when she went to attack those humans and had to #be restrained by tanjirou. and it falls incredibly flat when she never really has any other struggles other than at the start of the series #i thought she was meant to be a main character but she's more like a set piece #maybe i'm just missing something cause i'm still about 50 chapters from the end. but i just got so disappointed after they did nothing with #her becoming sun resistant except pull a gag that i didn't want to pick the manga up again #like that was the chance to do more with her and finally give her development and let her relationships develop! and the fact that they did #nothing kind of highlighted to me that the series really hadn't done much with any of the characters #there's beats where it feels like there's growth but i don't actually know what about the characters has grown??? apart from getting a new #power and being stronger because of it #they don't grow as characters. and supposed development only ever happens during fights or off screen #anyway i should stop criticising. i'm just very disappointed cause i really enjoyed the manga and then that happened and it was like what's #the point #criticism #demon slayer criticism #<- so you can block the tag if you don't want to see this stuff #it feels very negative for the fact that you really can't expect much from shounen. and i DID enjoy it. it's just disappointing #(the shinobu thing is also annoying. like i like that she can't decapitate demons and that she uses poison but the reason for it being that #she's weak and small is bullshit and FEELS like it's written that way because she's a woman)

Mappa giving Hell’s Paradise the neglected middle child treatment cause they took on a shit ton of projects but apparently Jigokuraku had to be the sacrificial lamb for the rest to prosper.

#the step down in animation quality is ridiculous truly #especially when they bait us in the intro that it looks good and then in the actual show it’s not 😭 #why why why #they couldn’t have let anyone else do it? #mappa you will sufferrrr (human rights violations as well) #praying for those animators I know they don’t see the sun rise nor set #jigokuraku #hells paradise #mappa #anime

fun fact I’ve never dressed up for halloween🫡

#my mom thought the holiday was demonic so she didn’t allow us to wear costumes or go trick or treating #now I’m told enough to buy my own costume but I feel like I’m too old for it:/ #my parents fucked me and my siblings over soo badly on the social aspect of….everything lol #no sleepovers no going out you got your ass beat if u weren’t in the house by the time the sun was setting #I remember one time my brothers got thier asses beat for playing basketball at the community center until 8!!! they were 15 and 16😵‍💫 #just ridiculous #that one time last year my mom grabbed me by my shirt bc I came back late from the movies even though I TOLD her the trains were running on #a different platform so I missed like 3 of them #and then she wonders why it’s so hard for me to socialize idk maybe it’s because you banned me from playing in the park and gave me #unrestricted access to the internet when i was 8
