Hello. Hi there. Welcome to my home
This is a new minific (as in will only be a handful of chapters long or less compared to my normal longfics) featuring a set of Disassembler OCs that are canon to my Through The Looking Glass AU

[ cw: sacrifice / self sacrifice / slight suicidal themes / death mention / ]
I personally think that Leo took the wrong lessons from the movie. I definitely think he grew to understand the importance of teamwork and making sure he takes others into account so as to not harm them by proxy of whatever scheme he has cooked up, however based on the ending events I’m not quite certain he fully grasped two things.
The first thing is communication. Oh, he can communicate, and he does, when he deems it necessary. When he’s setting up a plan prior to the action. But this is where the second thing comes in.
The second thing I don’t think Leo truly grasped is “it’s not about you.” It’s so unbearably easy to take that the wrong way, especially when taking the rest of the series into account.
What I believe Leo took from this message is not “it’s not just you, everyone matters and can contribute, can help and be helped” but “put the whole of everyone above yourself” which can both be a good lesson…and a fatal one.
And it is fatal, we see as much in the movie.
Even after the big hope speech, when Leo is “fighting” Krang!Raph, he takes a huge risk. Sure, it worked, and Leo managed to get through to Raph through a well deserved apology, but it could have so easily ended in his death and yet he barely even hesitates to go for it.
And then again, to the big scene at the end, where Leo sacrifices himself not only for the sake of his family, but for the whole world.
To him, that’s the message to take from this. That the lives of everyone, of the greater good, matters…more than him. That the risk to himself is worth it if others can be saved.
Leo learned that gambling with his life as the betting chip is always the best move to make in the end.
And to make matters worse…this thinking is what works.
These risks are ultimately what is needed to save the day, so why would Leo look away from it now? Clearly it’s the right move and everything worked out!
Thing is, Leo did grow from the events of the movie. He learned to take things more seriously and be more mature, he learned to value his team’s input and capabilities enough to rely on them more, and he learned to be less self-centered and realize the turmoil others were going through (especially if that turmoil is a result of his actions.)
But still, he’s grown to accept the gamble of his life as a viable answer to their problems.
Personally, with how Leo has been shown to toy around with the idea of “it’s better me than them” I think this goes beyond sacrifice in the name of love or even sacrifice in the name of responsibility, and pushes over into sacrifice in the name of worth.

A reveal gone right ends in tragedy.
Danny told his parents he was phantom They accepted him. The problem is Jack accidentally outed him.
Jack and Maddie got questions on why they stopped there hunting and threats to ghost. The two just do catch and releases as necessary as phantom does.
Jack just goes well we don’t want to hunt our son.
Amity Parker’s just accept it. To bad the GIW and government don’t.
This leads to jack and Maddie making a device to get their family out. Ellie is a member of the family at this time. They don’t want to flee into the ghost zone as three of the five are human. Rather they want to make a device that goes to a separate dimension and hope it’s better.
If not just dimension hop.
The Giw break through the defenses of the house right as they finished an experimental version.
Only the kids make it through. Jack and Maddie stayed behind to stop the Giw and get rid of the ghost portal. They didn’t want to leave the GIW with means to destroy a whole entire dimension full of beings who could feel and think.
The three kids end up in the dc dimensions.
The justice league is alerted to a dimensional hop via JLD? maybe. Or some system scanning looking for it.

NEW LU UPDATE WOOOOO
I realllllly wanted to talk about some of my favorite parts of the new comic so here we gooo
I love Hyrule just casually phasing through a wall, like how in the world did you know to check there????
HAHAHAHAHA THATS THE TEXT THING IN SKYWARD SWORD THATS SO FUNNY (i love skyward sword so frigging much dude)
Legend is just trying to help, he just doesn’t have bedside manners. He’s so experienced you’d be a fool to not listen to what he says. I love how Warriors notices that and tells Wild to listen, he’s a G for that.
Four DEFINITELY has experience with the whole ‘multiple people in a dungeon’ thing. Also he’s so short DHDGDHSHD— And Time’s face is so funny too
Before you go, I would like to show you something very cursed I accidentally made while messing with the filters. Beware.
HIS FACE HAHAHDBGBJD
OKAY BYE

the thing about dating in your early 30s is that there are some younger people where, while it wouldn't necessarily be wrong to date them, you might just not be at the same place in life
like, would it be creepy for me to date a 24-year-old at 31? I don't personally think so; that's around my lower limit on dating apps and such. but I might be emotionally ready for marriage and kids MUCH sooner (ie yesterday, to be honest) while she could still be figuring out what she wants in those respects. while that's not always correlated with age...age frequently plays a part
I think it's easier to look at MUCH younger adults and think "ew, with a few rare exceptions, nobody my age should date them; I would never" than to face the fact that sometimes it's not a moral issue. it doesn't have to be CreepyBadWrong for age- or rather, life stage -to be an impediment to the relationship
in an environment where age gaps in romantic relationships are frequently portrayed as either evil or totally fine, It's Not Bad But It's Still Not Viable can fall through the cracks

people so often interpret sazed as taako’s ex, which like, to each their own obviously, nothing wrong with that, but i think its so so much more interesting to interpret him as taako’s apprentice instead. and like all we have to go on is that he really looked up to taako who sort of taught him how to cook. “thought taako hung the moon and stars” or something like that iirc. which brings so much more depth to taako’s relationship with angus if sazed was to taako then what angus is to taako now, someone who idolized him and saw him as a mentor.
it puts some of the conversations taako’s had with angus into really interesting context. like the fact that the first person taako’s (ever?) told about what happened at glamour springs (which he didnt know at the time, but was sazed’s fault) is angus. does he tell angus because he doesn’t want him to be betrayed (like he assumes sazed was, since he ran away)? or because he doesn’t want angus learning from someone so clearly unfit to be a mentor (both since he was unfit to be sazed’s, because he was dismissive to him, and because he believes himself to be a murderer)? he teaches angus magic and cooking. when he implies that angus might become as or more skilled than him he jokes about striking him down. which is exactly what he did to sazed when he wanted equal share.
but taako redeems himself with angus. he mistreats angus in the beginning, bullying him and dismissing him and generally being a dick, but as angus becomes taako’s apprentice, he’s more open and a little nicer. still “open” and “nice” in his own way, but definitely more than he was before. learning from his mistake, letting angus in and being encouraging and honest in the way he wasn’t with sazed.
idk. i think it’s so interesting and so rarely explored
