I like to think that Curly and Jimmy had parallel lives on earth.
That Curly was an only child and his parents died shortly after he became a captain. They got to see his biggest accomplishment but he had no one to really celebrate it with after. Jimmy has siblings and his parents and they didn’t care when he got the co-pilot job cause he’s just the back up. Sure they’re happy for him but no reason to celebrate.
They could both barely afford rent. That’s how it is that late in capitalism and the world the live. The difference is Curly could down size, Jimmy would end up down on the curb. Jimmy had flings and Curly had partners. Both fleeting but Curly pulled away and they left Jimmy.
I like to think they lived parallel to each other in a way they both noticed. Curly felt a kinship and Jimmy felt resentful. Curly worked to make a good deal with what he had and Jimmy scorned his dealt cards and wanted the hand he thought Curly had made.
#this is like purely headcanons#I like to think where Jimmy sees Curly as being ungrateful and undeserving for what he has#he misses all the reasons why Curly may be unhappy or dissatisfied or stressed#Curly gets patted on the back and lorded by superiors not knowing they grip his shoulder and breath down his back#Curly gets a nice promotion and is stuck with a company that would send him on a death mission for mouthwash time and time again#Curly gets to steer the ship and he sits bored imagining all the fun the captains having while Curly is painfully aware one wrong move and#they all die. Jimmy says his friend is living the life and Curly can’t see the life he’s lived#but he smiles anyway cause hey atleast hes got a good friend in it…#this is not to be taken as ship I just think they have a codependent relationship based on Curly having this fear of change and acute#loneliness that Jimmy doesn’t take seriously but does take advantage of cause he’s lonely in a parallel way#like I think a big point in the game is that Curly is too good a friend and colleague to Jimmy n not enough of a friend and Captain tz#to Anya but also that Jimmy is an awful friend to him before hand and he takes it cause he has like this mindset#I hate them together but they won’t let go of each other but at different times#mouthwashing#Mouthwashing game#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#jimmy mouthwashing

[ cw: dismemberment / ]
I think a lot about how Leo’s rescue could have easily ended in him losing a leg as the portal snaps shut on the Krang still clutching the limb, or, alternatively, only having Leo’s right arm make it out, still held dearly in his brother’s hand as the rest of Leo is left behind. (The latter hits even harder, as it directly parallels his future self in the worst of ways.)
I think a lot about how so many things could have gone wrong during the course of the movie with even a little bit of a change, but it really is harrowing how much of a coin-flip the entirety of the Prison Dimension rescue was.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#dismemberment /#if literally any part of the prison dimension rescue was different it would have ended Very Badly#mikey came in clutch for doing the impossible in the first place#raph grabbing leo and not once letting go was vital#and donnie directly hitting the krang was essential#hell leo having the ability to reach out at all in the state he was in was a miracle#listen I think about the prison dimension a lot if you couldn’t tell#for the next tags:#strangulation mention /#physical trauma induced mutism /#potential death mention /#potential sibling death mention /#barely it mainly focuses on if he lives but /#I also think about how Leo’s trachea could have easilyyy given out as Raph (krangified) was choking him#can you imagine the last words raph hearing from his little brother being I’m sorry?#he’d likely live as the hamato bros are built different but imagine if he straight up can’t talk again after#the bros having no idea what Leo’s plan is but they suddenly feel him disappear with the portal#or also#imagine all he gets out in his hoarse voice is to beg Casey to close the portal before his family HEARS the sudden silence like a knife#even if he gets saved his voice may be wrecked or even gone for good#what am I writing wait-#also for my point on leo losing his arm paralleling his future self#imagine fate being a thing in this world but a VERY situational thing#imagine it makes it so that leo has to lose a limb#but not just that - it also ties his presence directly with the Krang’s - so if the Krang’s somewhere else…so is he

Holly:hey you said that your magic is different from other demons right?
Bendy:*nods*
Holly:*visibly very excited* how so!?
Bendy:….
Bendy:*starts to tear up* I don’t know
#bendy and boris in the inky mystery#inky mystery#babqftim#the inky mystery#babitim#quest bendy#holly may#bendy has to have a break down coming to him#like imagine the literal princ of hell saying ‘I have no idea what you are’#his magic is so strange and powerful and he has no idea how it works#i think about this a lot#you can’t tell me it wouldn’t drive you crazy to be in his shoes#even if it’s just his magic!#I would be crying from just my magic being different#let alone not know cuss about my own species and culture

i love going to tumblr and seeing actual valid critiques of the live action (writing is bad, female characters are written poorly, certain changes fuck too much with the story, etc) and then go to the rest of the internet and the critiques are (azula’s actress is too overweight, mai isn’t thin enough, zuko is too ugly??). so weird to me that people are so obsessed with how these young actors look (especially when they are all still very conventionally attractive people). it’s almost like when actual poc play characters y’all have the most to say about it (unlike for ian ousley who could still very well be a white man playing an indigenous character 🤔)
#avatar the last airbender#atla#natla#live action atla#zuko#azula#mai#dallas liu#ian ousley#like whatever happened to leaving the actors out of the hate you have for a show??#it’s crazy how much bullshit people be spewing#like i can’t imagine being elizabeth yu or dallas liu and seeing all that :(#it’s not even about their acting half the time it’s about their looks#they r very pretty people people just hold poc to FAR higher standards i said what i said#interesting that y’all found them better looking in the show when they were more white passing…..#this will be my last post on natla this is the most i’ve been posting in awhile 😭

Hey. Sorry about the inactivity, but pretty sure no one cared that much anyways lol. Been a looooong time since I kept that distant from Tumblr…at least now I know I’m able to survive without checking posts every day/being chronically online! I’ve got an intense love-hate relationship with this lifestyle I’ve dug myself into. Think I’m getting a little bit better with the balance even if school isn’t really giving me an option. Got a load of work I need to keep catching up on if I don’t want to disappoint my professors. We’ll survive somehow. Here take a quick batch of Puzzle doodles k bye
#the hell am I so anxious about? maybe it’s just overstimulation stuff#hoping it’ll die down because I can’t keep enjoying myself when I’m like this#seriously is starting to mess with my flight responses over the tiniest things#like yea obviously I needed to stay logged out of Tumblr so I would focus more on schoolwork#but uhhhh gonna be transparent and say a huge part of it is the jolts of anxiety :(#like even the thought of logging back here has caused me to feel like sweating#my brain kept saying ‘no I don’t want to I can’t do that’ even when I felt bad for missing out on others posts#like I want to be here so I can support my mutuals dammit!!!#I’m a mess. I’m such a broken mess oh great lovely spectacular#maybe the culminating stress of final exam deadlines is worsening stuff as well#I can’t tell you why I’m like this I just am 🙃#anyways thinking I’ll start adapting to the distance. Sorry but being a shut-in is more appealing right now#I just need time to be with myself and not be so invested in the lives of others#anyways what’s something mildly positive I can wrap this up with so I don’t seem pathetic….#ah yes the final Puzzle sketch here was drawn today before a class period#one of my fellow classmates noticed and audibly asked me ‘is that Mr. Puzzles?’#IT TOOK EVERTHING IN MY WILLPOWER TO NOT LET OUT A GIDDY SHRIEK#Felt like my eyes bulged and I jolted in enthusiasm jskjsksp spontaneous happiness?? actally experiencing the feeling of fitting in??#anyways I responded with a very normal ‘WAIT YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM???’ while trying to suppress grinning or going ‘teehee’#anyways now it’s my personal mission to keep initiating conversations with her because AUUUUUGH SHE KNOWS WHO HE IS I’M LOSING IT#proceeded to talk about Murder Drones & TADC like holy SHIT I didn’t think I would ever find animation peeps in my psychology class auuu 😭💜#it’s a MIRACLE man this may be a sign that college won’t be isolating anymore yaaaaayyy#PUZZLE IS SINGLE HANDILY HELPING ME TALK TO PEOPLE BOTH ONLINE AND IRL THIS IS WILD#all hail the best comfort character seriously holy shit—like imagine she never noticed me drawing Puzzles!! I’D STILL BE LONELY AS HELL#okay sorry I’ll stop typing like a teenager and go back to pretending to be well-versed in speech & conducting myself ‘normally’ :3#doodles#sketches#not tagging with Puzzles because hahaaaaa don’t look at me

actually on the verge of a mental fucking breakdown but it’s cool
#the little girl inside of me is screaming#and crying#and burning the house down#i’m so fucking hurt dude#when is this feeling going to go away#i got ditched and left in the dust#imagine being abandoned#by the person who wept to you#about literally being abandoned#what the fuck kind of uno reverse card is that#the only way i can cope is by writing#even after the disgusting shit they said to me#i can’t help but make art#that’s the funny thing about love#even if you may want it to#it doesn’t dissipate#at least not right away#and it’s killing me#txt#mp

I’d be more convinced that the monologue from the end of “Tribe” was a throwaway line if it weren’t for the fact that we got the weeping maya tree right before Omega left Pabu, and if the batchers on Pabu weren’t left in the present day sequences with a group of force kids whose families need to be found and who will probably need somewhere safe to be once they are.
#the bad batch#so anyway#back on my bullshit#about the story being told in the bad batch just not being done yet#yes I think that once it is done being told that at least some of the batchers are going to be working with a branch of the Path#hell maybe Pabu is a path endpoint#maybe Havoc Outpost is connected to it too#Tribe is an incredibly overlooked episode#and I am still waiting for ‘and when they return the trees sing’#and ‘in time we may all find a new path’#which would be hilariously literal if they end up working with the path#or naming the path#let’s be real that’s what these guys would call it#‘It will be a path to safety for clones and force sensitives’#‘we’ll call it…the path’#exactly what you’d expect from a group of people who named their gonk droid ‘Gonky’#pleeeaaaaaase let this be a thing#listen I can’t imagine them decomposing under a tree for fifteen to twenty years

Nabu Malikata once bled into the barren earth, greenery springing forth from her feet.
Now her descendants do the same.
#L-L-L-LORE DROP….#this is pretty important actually because I’m doing threads that are talking about Bloom and I realized I lowk have no idea what it is and#Then I pulled this out of my ass and thought damn that sounds cool so here it is#(Read the image description I tried to sound mysterious)#I would’ve drawn her bleeding to death on mourning flower leaves but I can’t draw blood so I’m gonna leave that up to the imagination.#Haha I just gave away her entire lore with that one statement but does it even matter I’ve literally done the thing where rukkhadevata was#like LOL imagine if a bloom was a leaf… bye okay why am I yapping I’m done#Somebody tell me that was so mysterious and I didn’t sound stupid#the art looks goofy help I’m sorry may delete this later#But lowk I was not about to write a detailed scene of geegee bleeding to death I have to stay mysterious… also I don’t wanna do it#help I’m gonna sleep on this one gn! 😭😭

Me: Okay, gotta go to sleep so I can wake up early and continue stressing over finals, so I’m gonna think calm scenarios with low stakes to fall asleep to
Me: Like…an older captain having a crush on a younger crewmate that wasn’t even ranked high enough to be on the bridge, so the captain of course never said or did anything about the crush, staying completely professional the entire time, but now they don’t work together anymore
Me: And now the captain is wondering if they should pursue a relationship with them, because they aren’t currently working on the same ship anymore, but the captain is still ranked higher then them overall, and then there’s the issue with the age gap, it’s not really a big one, but it’s still There™️
Me: And several other crewmembers have joked about seeing the captain as a parent figure because they act so professional and competent and dependable and stuff that it just makes the captain come across as way older and oh god what if the crewmate is just horrified to find out the captain has a crush on them??
Me: And they’re wondering if they should just not pursue anything, especially since the crewmate has recently accepted to go on a date with another person, but they also kinda don’t wanna give up because getting to hang out with that crewmate more in non-work settings (cause most of the crew stayed in contact and constantly meet up to hang out) has made their infatuation grow, so they quietly and indecisively pine
My brain, for some goddamn reason: Mhm, and then, it turns out that person the crewmate agreed to go on a date with, is actually a huge creep trying to stalk their poor ex using the crewmate as a coverup (claiming to innocently be on a date, totally unknowing the ex would be there (lies)), so not only is the date really crappy, but because this creep isn’t actually listening to what the crewmate is saying, they tune them out about their deadly allergies
Brain: And then to seem like a good date to keep the coverup going, they stop by a flower shop (still stalking their ex, the crewmate isn’t aware of that, but is aware this date sucks and is trying to think of how to politely leave) rushes in, and then comes out and shoves a bouquet into the crewmate’s face as a “thoughtful” gift, and it’s the flowers they just mentioned being extremely allergic to-
#no fandom#humans#surprisingly no one mentioned in this post is an alien#there is some but they’re side characters#wasn’t sure how one of them (like maybe the captain) being an alien would add to the dynamic#was thinking about it but I was like ‘what kind of alien would even fit with them?’#anyways#my stupid fucking brain. that isn’t low stakes. I’m trying to SLEEP#conversations between me and my brain#still not sure what the age gap should actually be#not something huge especially since I’m imagining the crewmate as 23#but enough where it does feel a bit like a gap and may make a power imbalance seem bigger#if you wanna know what happens with the flower stuff#my brain has decided that because the stalking creep is also an officer of the organization#that the situation gets pushed to the higher ups and now it’s like a court case where the crewmate is like:#’this was obviously an attempt on my life!! I just said this flower would kill me check the tapes from that area!!’#and the stalking creep is stuck trying to figure out how to defend themselves without mentioning that their focus was on their ex#because they’re a creep#hmmm I think they should get hit with a space restraining order at minimum and can’t be anywhere in the area#which helps out the poor ex who’s blissfully unaware of this and now doesn’t have to worry about this creep anymore

I find it interesting that Leo tells Raph that Raph was Mikey’s age when he first went out alone because it’s fun to draw the conclusion that Donnie and Leo were not that age when they themselves first went outside.
Sure, they likely could have just ventured out at the same time as their brothers and Leo just chose to focus on Raph to make his point, but given Donnie and Leo’s respective personalities I can absolutely see them just leaving anyway at a much younger age.
#rottmnt#rottmnt leo#rottmnt donnie#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#with Donnie’s penchant for hyperfocusing on whatever project he has#I can imagine him being like ‘I need xyz and can’t wait for papa to get it besides what if he gets the WRONG things’#cue him bailing#for Leo I think his innate tendency to wander away from everyone would kick in#considering his ninpo is heavily space based of course he may be inclined to venture out#note that I never said these twos’ journeys went WELL#tho personally I can imagine Donnie’s in particular ending up with him meeting April due to their closeness#for Leo he probably left many times and just never told anyone lol#so either something went wrong eventually or he made it to 13 with everyone none the wiser#and still was like ‘yeah totally my first time out lmao’

writing fluff is so hard esp for a character you haven’t written for before + other characters in the fic 😭
#satoru i’m abt to get real acquainted w you in this fic#so far it just all sounds v corny and not at all like how satoru sounds so i need to rework everything#also it’s so hard to segue into another part of the fic or just another paragraph for me so i need to practice FLOW#and NOT make it choppy/clunky#and i also have to find voices for tsumiki & megumi 😭 miki’s is pretty easy she’s sweet & playfully teasing#wanna make megs adorable yet slightly grumpy bc i know he’s mature but i still want a childish vibe for him hmmmm#i’m actually… SURPRISNGLY. having a LOT of trouble w the ‘reader’ themselves#i just can’t seem to find their dynamic w each character yet… hmmmmmm#y’know what i may have to do… keep the beginning part but scrap everything else and start fresh#sighhhhhhhh.#i’m willing to do that though bc this story so far isn’t hitting the way i want it to#and i love the Premise of the fic a lot and want to do it TOTAL justice#like it’s serious business to me 😭 i don’t play around when it comes to this omfg like i HAVE FUN but i want it to be decently written too#gonna need to insert more personality to each character + their DIALOGUE TOO omg dialogue is so fucking hard & speech tags are so blegh#i actually might dream on it tonight and imagine how it would realistically play out in my head and then go back to fic writing#yeah i’ll do that it’s 9:30 pm rn basically so i’ll just dream on it 😭#personal

thinking more thoughts!!
Kiley time-
I uh- kind of poured all my chaotic energy into her, and separated her from the rest of the npc cast? Otherwise the dialogue would get totally fucked, and my ‘I need to hit this story with a drama nuke’ desire would cause trouble.
So she’s uhhh off on her adventure of a different genre. (But stuff she does Will affect things... dun dun dunnnn) but dude Wow she would be so irritated by Jun. Good thing we’re going to Sanctuary to leave them and take Preston.... OR THAT IS WHAT I WOULD SAY if she didn’t want to be anywhere near the vault!! We’re going somewhere else, babeyyyyy! Maybe talking with him and Murphy would bring some understanding (is what I would say if I were doing big character development in the beginning but we’re not!!) Shoving my desire for conflict into this.
#also I’ve gotten into rain world! so we may see some influence#...thinking of. the rot. and throwing it into jer’s world#what huh who said that#we already had the idea of giant salamanders so that might inspire me to draw them more!#I wonder since towns are more developed in this au there’s also more education? and people are a bit more mindful of the environment? maybe#oh but kiley would definitely agree with that guy who said baseball was a blood sport. COMMIT TO THE BIT#also I broke a nail :( not touching skin but just fucking up the edge. aughhhh#WAIT unrelated I was wondering. sandpaper. does that exist?? sanding belts?? could you sand sharp edges on your armor??#also I was thinking... well alread though of but still. fabrics. we have sheep (and also impostor sheep. huh who said that) so we have WOOL#so people must be making cool new clothes and fashions. maybe going back to that idea of- if you have more/colourful fabric you’re cooler?#jer has a little patterned poncho and I think kiley would want a cloak with jagged edges! colour? .... I will think on it.#cool points vs camouflage vs character desires#hrhhh also good thing preston is. desperate. well good for my desire for horrible character conflict anyway HAHA-#and you know what maybe preston should talk to people more and buy something cool at a shop- variety is the spice of life#hmmm I need to look at the workshop benches again#hmmmmhhhhhh maybe we could get preston into adventuring and killing raiders. as a way to get money for food n shelter for the crew#preston’s traveling group is pretty big. ...what have they been eating?#oh and then that would spread good rumors about the minutemen!#little wastrels#ALSO it’s autumn so they better find a place to stay before winter. thinking on... animal seasons also- I imagine deathclaws hibernate#and wake up in the spring like frogs. don’t @ me about it ok#do mole rats hibernate?#do people need to store food for the winter? is there such thing as charity donations in fallout?#... do I have a winter exclusive animal I can’t remember#hm. Anyways Kiley’s thinkin strength in numbers y’know (but thennnn jun and murphy can’t fight really)#STURGES#you know what I said let’s make him take the power armor. mr mechanic would know how to use it best no?#hmm I’m sure preston has useful info on the wastes and settlement locations#she’ll stick around till there’s nothing useful left/they get into a very very bad argument#but again WHAT WERE THEY EATING.

slept maybe 4 or 5 hours this whole ordeal is really burdening me i feel so disheartened 😔
#i still can’t believe 2 grown people would act like this#one of them is even older than me#she always acts so nice towards everyone but talks behind their back#i always knew they didn’t like me much and talked behind my back as well but i never imagined it was to this extent#to go to the boss behind my back…. i’m just baffled#and i need to work from 2pm til 8pm today again#at least they won’t be there but work was already dreadful for me now it’s absolutely unbearable#having to work with people who talk so poorly abt me and are so deceitful just thinking about seeing their faces again makes me sick#a friend told me i should call in sick and i really think that’s what i’ll do next week#like this whole situation is burdening me to the point i can’t sleep this job is draining me both mentally and physically#and if they claim i don’t do anything anyways it shouldn’t make a difference if i’m there right#i know that’s not true and they will be understaffed when i’m not there and it makes me feel a little bad for my other coworkers but i have#to look out for myself and my own wellbeing#idk what i did to deserve all this sometimes it feels like my life is just one punch to the gut after another#i’m not your strongest soldier god…. i can’t do this#cried so much last night hoping i wouldn’t wake up again after finally falling asleep#and here i still am….#sorry for all the negativity to the few people who might actually read my tags but i’m really hanging on by a thread and it feels like it’s#about to break off any minute#also thank you to all the people who’ve reached out me i really appreciate it i’ll try replying soon but today will be another long day so#it may take a while#☁️

Watching LEGION Season 2. Chapter 9.
Gods this show is so experimental. I love it.
It’s all about the mind and the power it can have once an idea takes ahold of creative and idiosyncratic people. It’s why it so heavily ties into mental health.
I said I wouldn’t do any commentary on my rewatch of this show but it’s just so damn thought-provoking, I can’t help expressing myself on how brilliant it is.
It’s stuff like this that really makes my INTP mind wild. And I’m just soaking all knowledge up like a sponge.
You know it pays well to be mentally predisposed because your preferred currency is information. And it’s always best when that information is open for interpretation and is given very little exposition.
It’s something for me - as the the person I am - to do because I care very little about crazy expensive CGI graphics and all the clever effects and tricks in the book if it’s not giving me anything for my mind to do.
That’s what I care most about with art/entertainment. The mental stimulation and consciousness expansion.
#legion#season 2#chapter 9#david haller#dan stevens#I can’t imagine what the budget was for this show#every episode there’s some crazy special effects#and sure it’s cool and all#but it’s the writing that goes along with it I care about#connecting all of it to either psychosis or psychic ability#and as you all probably know - that’s an area of debate that I’m very passionate about#because it’s so easy to just diagnose whatever is happening as mental illness when it may not be#but there’s always such a brick wall of communication on this line of thinking#which is why I have to be so careful with what I write#I know what I believe and I acknowledge fully that it’s just a belief#but there’s often a kernel of truth in even the most wildest theories#and this is a theory that’s been visited many times before#I am not first and I won’t be the last#and with me being psychic myself….
