#BUT ON ANOTHER NOTE

One of the earliest examples of Leo’s “I’ll do my own thing to accomplish our goal without discussing it with my team first” is in episode one. It’s super, super quick, and ultimately inconsequential, but it subtly sets up a great precedent that I think is very interesting.

When the boys need to grab the medallion from Splinter without Splinter noticing, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie huddle together with Raph taking the lead in trying to devise a plan to get the mystic device. Meanwhile, Leo slinks away and grabs the device by clocking the situation (by knowing his father well enough to predict his actions - something he does with each family member multiple times in the series) and making a move on his own.

It works out perfectly fine, and is ultimately the best move, and it’s honestly okay that he didn’t consult everyone for something so small when it’s such a non issue to get it, but it nicely sets up how this tends to go in the series, including how it goes in the movie.

To be honest episode one is actually really good at setting up a lot of things for each character in the long run, this is just one example that caught my attention, as small and unassuming as it is.

yet another svsss hill I'm dying on despite the apparent popular opinion — bingqiu would be great parents! give them a decade of peace and quiet to start healing from the trauma of.. everything and to get comfortable in the fact that their love and commitment to the other is reciprocated equally, and I can 100% see them wanting some little ones.

Shen Qingqiu overcame both his age AND gender to become Cang Qiong's resident milf in a matter of days after his transmigration. He's great with kids - as Shen Yuan he had a younger sister who he likely helped raise or was at least somewhat close with, he obviously loves teaching and doting on his disciples, he's immediately protective of random-abandoned-toddler!Binghe in the dream realm after escaping from the Water Prison, and obviously in the Return to Childhood extra he's (the only one) having a great time. you're telling me he WOULDN'T want a baby version of Binghe for real??

and as for Luo Binghe himself, the joke/argument I see most often is that he'd be jealous of the baby for taking his shizun's time and attention away from him. first of all, by the end of the novel, do you know how many times that man has died in his arms, pushed him away, or been separated from him in some other very traumatic ways, mostly while he was being influenced by an evil sword that amplified his worst intrusive thoughts? do you know how many people WOULD take Shen Qingqiu away, given the chance?! I think he deserves to be a bit paranoid!! but again, with a bit more distance and healing from his traumas, time, and reassurance that Shen Qingqiu really is staying, I fully believe he will mellow out in that regard. with that aside, Luo Binghe is a total mama's boy, he's a part-time emperor full-time housewife, and his greatest dream has always been to be a family with Shen Qingqiu. I don't think it's a stretch at all to imagine that someday in the future, he would want to grow that family with him too. and although we don't see him interacting with children in canon the way we do Shen Qingqiu, I cannot imagine him not loving his kids, a tangible result of their love, to pieces too.

Season 3 ending

So... It's been almost a week since the last episode, almost a week trying to wrap my head around the end of the show, trying to manage my feelings about it all.

It's hard to end up feeling the complete opposite of nearly everyone on my dash but I've come to terms with the fact that I didn't love the ending. I didn't love this last episode. (I shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for saying so but you guys loved it so much that I feel a bit like an outsider right now 😓)

I haven't been a fan of the show for as long as most of you, but it means so much to me. These characters carved a place in my heart and in my head, and they've made me happy for months now. They helped me get through some stuff, made me discover some amazing artists, meet even more amazing people through this fandom. And I loved the story. Even in its darkest, saddest parts, I loved it. I was invested.

I love Wilhelm and Simon, together and separately. They mean so much to me. And I loved season 1 and 2. It made me happy, and sad, and frustrated, and exalted. But overall, I trusted the show and I was not disappointed.

Season 3 was a lot. I liked the first 5 episodes. I can't say that I loved everything about them: I was not expecting things to get so hard for Simon, with no reprieve in sight. I was not worried about Wilmon being endgame (I know it was a big stress for the fandom but honestly I never doubted that they were endgame), but I was wondering how the show would go about tying all the knots it made (I should even say all the knots it added during this last season).

(Under a read more because it's a bit long and I don't want to bother those who don't wanna read more of my frustrated thoughts ^^')

And unfortunately the last episode was a huge let down for me. Yes, it's partly because nothing I was hoping for actually happened, but mostly, it's because the choices they made did not feel very satisfying to me: ⁕ Simon was barely there. We went from him being bullied online/offline non stop for 5 episodes to almost nothing. It makes 0 sense to me. ⁕ Kristina suddenly feeling better: she was having break down upon break down for an entire season, could barely look at her son or even just talk normally and all of a sudden she's back, smiling and agreeing to everything Wilhelm says? I'm sorry but I don't buy it? Where did this Kristina hid during the entire show? ⁕ Wilhelm deciding to not be king, talking for 3min to his parents about it, them agreeing and him running into the sunset with Simon. I'm sorry, what?? I love that they end up together of course, but it makes very little sense to me? It won't change any of the issues they had this season? They're still gonna be famous? And bullied online/offline? (Probably even more so now?). I'm not obviously saying that Wilhelm staying in line to become king was the only or the best solution, but I wanted more from this storyline. I wanted to believe it. And right now, what we got? It feels a bit cheap (and I feel bad for saying that because the ending was cute and romantic and all, but it felt too disconnected from the rest of the show for me ><)

And apart from these few points, the big issue I had with this episode was: The Angst. So that might be a me-problem, but it was too much for my poor little heart (I haven't rewatched the episode yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to anytime soon ><). I spent like 40min of the episode with a huge knot in the stomach because the heartbreak between Simon and Wilhelm was too much to handle for me. I can see how it was beautifully made, that having lots of throwbacks to the previous seasons, the Wille song, all of that was great cinematography. But it was just too much for me. I got in the season spoiler-free but for this episode? During the lake scene I had to take a break and check online if they were actually endgame because it was starting to actually give me a stomachache. So yeah, this part might be me being too sensitive but I did not like that they made me see them fight for each other for 2 seasons and 5 episodes, but then just giving up for 40min before finally running back to each other during the last 10min. It was just too much sadness for me ><

So yeah, maybe my expectations were too high? But I feel sad, and kinda cheated. Too many things are left wide opened. Too many things make zero sense to me. And of course I'm happy we got our Wilmon endgame, but I'm less happy about how it happened.

It's a bit hard being on Tumblr right now and seeing everyone who thought it was the perfect episode >< And I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" (as the saying goes), but I still wanna be able to share my thoughts! I probably won't write super angry/unhappy/complaining posts about the season/the finale, but I still wanna be able to chat about it. I did see some posts on my dash from people not being entirely satisfied with this ending so it's a bit comforting. And I hope we can share some nice headcanons, or just discussions about different plot points.

But yeah, I guess that's why I haven't really been active this week! Trying to get over the double heartbreak of the end of the show + being disappointed with the ending! I'm gonna come back though! I miss hanging out here, I just need to strengthen my heart a little bit more :p Gonna get back to writing about my thoughts episode by episode for this season (I can't promise I can rewatch the last one though 😖 It might take me a bit of time to get there). And I want to continue my song analysis of the show!! I'm not even done with season 2 yet, I have some work to do there ^^

So see you back here very soon 😘

Something interesting I noticed and liked with Carly and Freddie in the revival is how they bring out each other’s purest forms. When they’re around each other, it’s as if they’re kids again. You can see it when Carly apologized with froyo, as they recreated old memories, and in the new promo where they looked like they were in the middle of baking.

Yeah, their friendship definitely started because of Freddie’s crush, but it was comfortable and pure. And now that we know Freddie didn’t treat the friendship as a consolation prize, it’s even better. They got to grow out of the dog and master routine and became real friends.

Overtime, they both slowly realized how comfortable they are with each other and well they fit. Freddie doesn’t have to be an adult (that of which he obviously rushed into) with Carly, and Carly doesn’t have to act put together or accomplished with Freddie.

They see each other in forms their former partners cannot, and I think that’s beautiful.

Thalia needed someone to match her not in just personality but in beauty. Cleo is a foreign athletic model/influencer. She met Cleo at one of her favorite designer's runway show. She was instantly taken by her beauty but stayed for smile. They're not official...yet. But they both enjoy the company

Kierra couldn't ask for a better sim to compliment her lifestyle than Coty. It was love at first sight (mostly on her end). Although he was a city boy, he always figured he'd end up on a ranch. Now he doesn't have to live there alone.

As her Rebecca, she didn't want to make hooking up with old flames as a habit, but Duke was more than that. He was her first love until he had to move away and later joined the military. If you would have told her that they'd met again; she'd call you a liar. After catching up, it was no secret to either of them, that it sparked up old feelings. She took a leap and the rest is history.

And ofc our lovebirds (Lotus & Adam) never changed. These two still living in their own little world. Couldn't keep them away from each other even if I tried. Somehow still spending simoleons on expensive gifts out of someone's budget!

“Do you like when I call you pretty, paskalin?” he taunted.

“No,” Neteyam squeaked, pressing his flushed face into his arms.

Those fingers picked up speed as Ao’nung told him, “There’s no point in lying, your sweet, little cunt is gonna tell me the truth.”

Before the smaller man opened his mouth to argue, the fingers inside of him bent and brushed against the bundle of nerves buried deep inside of him. So, instead of arguing, he moaned, “More, please. I need more.”

The Metkayina’s fingers continued fucking into Neteyam, neglecting that bundle of nerves as he inquired, “You’ll get more soon. Right now, you’re gonna be my good boy and take what I give you. You can do that, right? Be my good boy?”

Without an ounce of shame, Neteyam nodded and buried his burning face into his arms, nearly sobbing when Ao’nung stopped his ministrations. Lips brushed against his ear as the Metkayina whispered, “Good boys speak when they’re spoken to. Now, tell me, are you gonna be my good boy?”

“Yes. Yes, I’ll be good. I’ll be so good,” Neteyam whined, pushing back against the fingers that had stilled inside of him.

“Great mother, your fluttering around my fingers so sweetly, paskalin,” Ao’nung hummed, moving his fingers within the Omoticaya again.

I started replaying KH2, took one look at Roxas, and got overrun by the urge to have the pendant that acts as his zipper as a necklace.

So I went, bought some silver, and made it.

Some pictures of the process:

Basically, I had my sheet of silver, then glued the pattern I had printed out on top of it, before I sawed it, filed it, and then stuck a loop to the back so I could pull a chain through that and actually wear it as a necklace.
