Doodle for the prompt “Oops” by an anon!

This is actually based on the UK TMNT magazine which had mini episodes inside! Mikey and Raph get fused together together by accident and I couldn’t help but use it as a warm up! Got some panels below for anyone who is questioning everything:

Look at ‘em go, my boys

nicole. girl. i am so sorry. i feel for you. i see the very genuine distress. but what the fuck do you expect to happen when you ask someone if they’re on the show for the right reasons. you think he’s gonna go “oh no i’ve been caught the jig is up” ??? obviously he’s going to try to save his ass. obviously he’s going to say the right things

THE CHEERS FROM DÓNAL AND GRACE’S LAST PROMISES MAKING IT INTO THE CAST RECORDING OH IM EMOTIONAL

[hacash]

I’m trying to find a good way of saying ‘I’m glad they made Sam cry’ that doesn’t make me sound like, y’know, a MONSTER

but whenever you have a character of colour who is wise beyond their years, you run the risk of de-humanising them and not allowing them to be vulnerable in ways their white counterparts are, and I feel like as much as I love him, Sam occasionally skirts that line? in that he showed anger with both the Dubai Air protest and the whole Jamie thing, but it always passed very quickly; you always get the sense that he’s being very mature...and alright, that’s part of his character but still it runs the risk of hinting that Sam’s not really allowed by the narrative to be properly fucked off or hurt.

and here... well, he totally deserved to lose his shit and run into his dad’s arms to cry his eyes out, because the poor boy is twenty-two years old and trying his best, and he 100% deserves to be pissed off and devastated! and people more qualified than me can talk about whether they feel the entire storyline was done well or poorly*, but I’m glad Sam was allowed to be both angry and upset, and he wasn’t expected to be the bigger man or take it on the chin, he was vulnerable and he expressed his feelings and needed support from his dad and that was precisely what he needed then

(*I personally hope we have more follow-up than we got from Dubai Air because both racism directed at footballers and the refugee crisis are a real-world situations that need more focus. I also hope this episode gets brought up at every single interview Suella Braverman and Priti Patel do from now until the end of time.)

best thing(s) that happened this year?

edith, i really love this question! this is going to be long, i hope that's alright!

i spent the first week of january with my family which i really appreciate (my parents are getting old and i don't see them very often so i treasure every second of every meeting) and speaking of family, i feel like my relationship with my mom got much better and healthier this year because we're both actually trying (it's always been complicated but it's getting better. i love her so much so it's very important to me)

i found a new job that i actually like (however, my boss is an asshole and i know i'm not going to stay here for too long) and i've learned a lot here (mostly about myself which i am really grateful for) - i'm going to start looking for a new job in january tho and that makes me feel kinda excited

seeing tick tick boom in a theatre in warsaw was definitely one of the most important things that happened to me this year and this saturday i'm going to see rent (with bel! ❤️) here in kraków, another jonathan larson's musical and both mean so much to me, i feel like it's gonna change me forever

the release of clancy (and everything that happened before, which means twenty one pilots dropping the "i am clancy" video back in february - yes i do remember exactly where i was when i saw it for the first time - and the release of overcompensate and me streaming first singles from clancy before the album came out and i just KNEW that everything was going to change for me, then buying the clancy tour tickets, making that damn powerpoint presentation which got some people interested in their music, making the sahlo folina jacket for me and also bel and helping her buy the ticket for clancy tour so she can go with me and meeting so many amazing people because i joined the clique - coconut sharks! - and and and oh my fucking god i can go on and on about how they saved my fucking life this year i literally want to cry because so many things happened because of those two idiots from ohio this year and i can't even begin to explain how important it all is for me) 😭

the eras tour - now that i look back at it this is all about prison gang for me - making friendship bracelets for you guys, watching livestreams with you on discord, going there with bel (our adventures are always the best jfkebkwk) and it's actually true what she said, we were more excited about seeing you, edith, than taylor 😂 and i think it's safe to say that this was my final moment as a swiftie but it was a beautiful way to end this chapter of my life and i will always have a very special place in my heart for those memories

i've had a lot of ups and downs this year but it was such an important lesson for me - for example i've finally learned that isolating myself is not good for my mental health and actually, talking to my friends make me feel much better (even if we just talk about silly stuff) cause they always make me smile/laugh and i love them so much (this is about both - online and irl friends)

TWENTY ONE PILOTS-

[the-kipsabian]

this feels silly to make kinda but hi :)

my name is night (or crow if you prefer) and my birthday is october 7th, so a month from the point this post goes live

i dont usually like asking for things but. this year has been incredibly fucking difficult personally. and i hate my birthdays cause im usually alone and feel unwanted and old even tho im only turning 32 but. yeah

so heres a few things for consideration that would make me happy on this day of birth in this absolute shitty garbage year of 2024 💜

amazon wishlist (its from the german amazon cause its the only place i can order from without extra costs from customs)

amazon wishlist specifically for bracelet stuff

ko-fi shop

and um yeah. anything orangekip for those creative. i love you

uh. yeah. thats it i think. just for your consideration, im absolutely not requiring anything (apart from maybe you telling kip hes loved. i think he needs to hear that more than he does tbh), this is just a silly lil post for your consideration 💜

Look if you thought I wasn’t going to love Lisa Frankenstein then I don’t know what kind of person you thought I was because that film right there. Exactly what I needed in my life.

On one hand i am like you expect me to WORK on a day when the Tory party is spectacularly imploding but on the other hand the Tory party spectacularly implodes every other month so giving us time off for it might just drive the company to bankruptcy

[pancoleon]

I'm seeing people going "Are the Tories trying to lose the election?* and getting flashbacks to 2017 when the exact same question was being asked. (For example: hbomberguys Electionwatch 2017 vid) As shit as they are I think the answer is no. They're just this shit and are suddenly being burdened with a press that isn't willing to cover their arses over it.

Theresa May used the cover of "but you don't want Corbyn" to run a shockingly half-arsed campaign and still just about won, with the press reaction being to double down on finding Labour scandals. Boris Johnson survived a dozen scandals to the point of being nicknamed "Teflon" because none of it would stick until the press started noticing and he collapsed immediately. Like, in the 2019 election antisemitism was a big topic and no questions had to be asked of him, the author of an absurdly racist book that states that the news media is run by Jews.

For Liz Truss they paid attention real close and she collapsed in seconds. Rishi Sunak fell for his own hype during COVID (SuperRishi comes to mind) and his success in ousting Boris - the garden party scandal pictures literally came from his office window - to believe he was a great political operator. Now he's got to be the face of a national election campaign and it's collapsing because he has 0 charisma, has no fucking clue what he's doing, and with an acceptable alternative the press is suddenly not holding back.

[life-through-my-eyess]

You asked me to communicate when there is a problem. But why bother when it will only fall on deaf ears.

I’m growing tired of speaking and you not listening. How many times do I have to speak up for you to hear me or make the change. I’d rather drift away and be silent, better than being ignored because that’s how you make me feel.

I’m done being hard on myself thinking I am the problem when I am not. You are becoming a stranger I once knew with memories. You will look for me at some point in your life, only then you will truly feel the distance between us and realise we have drifted so far apart, it will be too late.

I deserve better, I’m done.

It’s the weirdest commercial I’ve ever seen. (anonymous)

A Fix with Sontarans

Synopsis

There was no synopsis on TARDIS wiki, and I'm not going to write one because I'd have to watch this first and no thank you. (Jimmy Saville is in it, honestly i feel gross just typing his name). This needs to be a free pass for everything else in this group, I’m so serious.

Propaganda

do not vote for this one please. google jimmy savile if you're wondering. that being said i think this is an extremely important part of doctor who canon and deserves to lose a vote in this bracket (@lilydvoratrelundar )
