#By showing their desperation like that

[sophieswundergarten]

Thinking about how painfully vulnerable it is for a character to scream "Please, stop hurting them!" because it usually means they are helpless to do anything else

[qoldenskies]

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

[ironinkpen]

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.

Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.

And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.

When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.

The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.

Prompt:

It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.

But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.

Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

the 2010s culture of weirdly entertaining queerbaity shows is alive in ukraine of all places. if you ever yearn for merlin-esque vibes, let me introduce you to this show called “cossacks. the fairy tale that never was”, also known as “cossacks. an absolutely phoney story”, “cossacks. a totally fake tale” and “cossacks. an absolutely fake story” (they never decided on a title translation and just kept coming up with more). it’s a clearly underbudgeted ukrainian historical show that came out in 2020, and it has everything. rivals to “are they lovers? worse” male leads with homoerotic tension, who either try to kill one another or call each other petnames. a girl who lives in her medieval ukrainian version of the truman show and gets caught up in a shitty love triangle. a 4’10 wizard who can turn into a shark (he just doesn’t want to). tragic siblings. poisoning as a love language. the main ship is called wolfborshch. one of the scriptwriters seems to have vanished from the earth, i can’t find any info on him anywhere.

this show is frustratingly entertaining. it has a VERY badly dubbed trailer on youtube, and there are all the episodes in original too. the subbed version is on netflix (might need ukrainian vpn, not sure tho) and some other platforms i didn’t know existed before. i’m not saying you should watch it, it is a mediocre show, but i am saying it would be very funny if it suddenly gained a fandom. me, the gal who’s been making thirst traps of nazar and ivan on tiktok and like three other people would be incredibly pleased

Let's think about this whole series of events from Nahyuta's perspective real quick. You're doing your normal work things (you travel a lot) when suddenly out of the blue your little brother who you've kinda resigned yourself to never seeing again shows up AT YOUR JOB. And you both have a lot of issues regarding this so you don't exactly talk but it's still wild it happened. Well time to leave the country and probably never see him again. Except you go back home and this american tourist is at your office and he's like hey I heard you were picking on my employee. And it TURNS OUT your little brother not only went into the same field as you (makes sense), he also works for this random american guy who for some reason is in your home country on vacation (makes less sense). Just when you think things can't get any worse, your second dad breaks out of prison, shows up to your work and calls you by your dumb childhood nickname in front of all your coworkers.

it's that time again for this year's installment of 'what would the villareals look like if i had made them this year?' except i don't think my sim style changed like at all last year

[erinwantstowrite]

if i had written jason i wouldn't have made him attack tim to like. prove he could handle himself or whatever. i would have made him try to steal tim from the get go. it would have been a process of jason putting his best foot forward to be better than bruce in literally every capacity and that means stealing his robin. or at least trying. jason would have no idea tim is enacting his own 65 step plan of bringing jason home

I want your opinion on something. Do you think it's better to try and the the cards of the character you like or skipping some to brench out? Like, say you're a fan of Leona. Should you try to get all of his bday card and stuff or stick to one and get other characters ssr?

personally, as much as I would like every single card...I gotta ration my keys, so I focus on my favorites!

which isn't to say that I only pull for certain characters no matter what! more that I take a good long look at every card that comes out and go "do I really want this one? like...really really want it?" (the answer is usually yes, but -- look, the art in this game is very pretty, okay)

honestly, from a gameplay standpoint, I think it doesn't matter too much whether you focus on pulling for specific characters or not. there are very, very few points where actually having a good mix of characters is important (Those Two Stages in episode 6, where I think you can use retry tickets for the easy mode? and also guest room battles if you care about those) and you'll probably end up with at least one halfway decent card per character just from doing 10-pulls and events. so even if you're only pulling for Leona cards, you'll still end up getting a bajillion other characters as well. follow your heart! chase that grumpy lion bliss! ✨🦁✨
