11.) Which version of Raphael is your favorite?

thanks for the ask!! Great question!

OH MAN HARD TO CHOOSE

But I think I'm going to have to say it's a tie between 2003 Raph and Rise Raph!

Rise raph is great because he's the big brother. He loves his younger brothers so much and would do anything to protect them, even when they're annoying dumb idiots lol. He doesnt like being apart from them, sometimes so much it literally drives him crazy, or he makes him tie themselves all together in a giant turtle ball lol. He does also fight and tease his brothers but it's all done out of love. He's really just a giant marshmallow at heart and how could you not love him?

2003 Raph on the outside is grumpy and gruff but he really isn't nearly as angry as he appears! When he's upset over a missing Master Splinter he goes out to look around and cool off, and ends up helping a kid (who punched him in the face TWICE)! He sits and chats with a little old blind lady. He helps Leo reforge his swords after they got broken by the

He worries so much about hurting his brothers and Knows he had anger issues. When Leo is in his broody/angry/nothing-I-do-is-good-enough phase, Taph knows what it's like to be angry a

Like there are actually very few instances where Rpah is actually truly angry at his brothers. Most of his arguing is either tough love or teasing.

He loves his brothers. He may not really admit it in so many words but he shows it in actions. He defends them and has their backs and he'd do anything for them.

He's just so good okay

You okay birdie? Heard you're havin a bit of a rough time at the moment.

Im trying to ignore it all... its just... somehow coming back to life just to almost immediately being betrayed by the Tim Im closest to? Hell the person Im closest to in this whole multiverse thing just doesnt care about what he just put the citizens through! It... it hurts that he would do this...

He left a note but I just cant bring myself to read it...

Guys I just really miss Titans Jason Todd and am having to stop myself from ranting about how crappy the fandom treated him and just how truly great of a character he was and how Curran portrayed him😭

And say what you want about his Red Hood(tho I personally liked it) Idk how anyone can say his Robin wasn't good😠

[milfbrainrot]

i feel like i type so much more than is reasonable when i do talk to people but i also don't get to socialize a ton so i just have soooo many words in me and if i'm like, tired or short on time, it is so much harder to restrain to the already-pushing-it point i can sometimes manage ;-;

as cool as their design is im really starting to dislike the sonau in general, aside from their stuff suddendly being everywhere and everything being about them and how cool(tm) they are now with the mystery stone turning people into dragons and the similarities between the sonau and the three dragons (naydra, eldra, farodra) its actually not an impossibility that they used to be sonaus as alot of people have been theorizing about ..but ...... idk that would very much ruin their otherwordly yet ethereal mystery to me

i probably sound like some hater whos trying to find something more to dislike about totk all the time but i promise im not!!

the three dragons being some unexplained mystery, beings that are there yet few can see them, timeless, nigh untouchable, they dont act on anything, they dont talk, something about them has always made me look at them in awe; if it turned out they were just yet another cool(tm) sonau guy that ate a stone ... :/

not a fan of that one lads, but dont worry, i will keep my thoughts to myself from now on, i dont want to ruin other peoples fun nor seem like i just hate everything ... the three dragons are just really important to me so i had to say something

continuing my da2 replay after veilguard and the thing is. right. dragon age has never been “good” it has always been kinda shitty with bad writing. but the characters and roleplaying opportunities really gave the player a lot to work with, and ultimately made the games enjoyable. and veilguard has the same weaknesses as every other game as well as the same potential to be salvaged by successful character writing…. but then it fucks it. it lacks any substance, it lacks both the character interactions and roleplay that would typically make the flaws more tolerable and the setting has been completely scrubbed and sanitized into something boring and generic. and even then it still manages to be the final horrible culmination of all of the racist writing and worldbuilding that the creators have refused to address or course-correct, despite years of criticism and feedback— it makes it harder to excuse this shit in 2024.

but dragon age 2 also has a lot of rough spots, it has the infamous tranquil solution which makes me recoil every time it’s mentioned, you can ask fenris why he didn’t “just leave” danarius sooner (there’s a lot of bad dialogue in this vein with all of the companions tbh) the game even has its own version of harding with aveline and sebastian if you recruit him (though imo they are still more Interesting than harding lol) both characters who uphold and perpetuate harmful ideas in game & in real life that are presented as the Good companions, versus everyone else in the game who is violently punished for their “radical” ideas… like these are the exact same problems i have with veilguard right now. but somehow dragon age 2 feels more successful to me… and i do think it’s entirely because of the roleplayability with hawke and the friendship/rivalry system, plus the variations with carver & bethany, as well as a lot more time spent actually cultivating relationships with a compelling cast of characters. and of course none of these characters are perfect, fenris and anders specifically suffer from the classic dragon age “both sidesisms” which makes them the scapegoats at times just to show how “bad” their ideas are and that they’re just as “bad” as their oppressors (lol) but idk i do like that the characters are all messy and that they actually have their own opinions, even if they are annoying. something about it all just feels so much more genuine than veilguard…. maybe it’s just my own nostalgia lol. i mean, i still like both games, i’m literally playing both right now, but i find something about da2 more compelling overall despite the similar flaws in both.

i would rather live with ana for the rest of my life than binge like this ever again

[penisbilt]

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

[peanit]

im trying to have more routines and rituals, and take better care of myself and its dulling down all my sharp edges in a way thats kind of uncomfortable. i would actually kill for a beer and some smokes right now but i think that Every Night. and then i think why..

[pagesofkenna]

i wanted to make a post about a thing but the more i think about it the more i want to say and it's just going to end up being a big ramble essay, so instead i'll just give the thesis statement, thusly:

as the #1 Ratgrinders Apologist (self-appointed), of course they're the final boss fight to the death. i expected nothing less and the people trying to make discourse about it are ignoring the entire context of this being a Dungeons and Dragons game
