Once I learn how to draw these complicated little guys I’ll be happy 😭 also I am loving season 2 but still miss the original group, please come back :(

[theyhavetakenovermylife]

Ok so I have a dorky request… I loved your MM fics and especially loved Donnie’s wholesome family one, SO CUTE!! Aww my heart!

Anyway I was wondering if you could do one where the reader has been friends with the family since they were kids like toddlers. And one day at dinner Splinter makes a comment about how they are part of the family and like a sister. The boys get uncomfortable and make gagging noises and the reader is just like ‘??? I thought you liked me?’ And the reason they didn’t like the sister comment is because they have a crush on them? It can be one of them or all of them or separate I don’t care.

Anyway I LOVE YOUR WORK! I have low key been stalking your blog for content…but before anything take care of yourself!! Drink water, eat food, and get rest! Ok love ya, bye!!!

Family Friend (Fluff)

MM!Raphael x reader

A/N: You’re an absolute cutie! Please continue your stalking as much as you want💚😭 I think you would like to know that I had a full breakfast before writing this, and a full glass of water by my side throughout😉 I decided to make this with Raph, because… well, Idk. Guess I’m a little Raph sick this morning lol. Hope you enjoy❤️

---------------

Warnings: Spelling, because my dyslexia has been bucking this morning, a little bit cracky at the end😅❤️

---------------

Splinter never really liked humans. No actually, he had always kind of hated them. Before he mutated he feared them, and after he just generally disliked them. And all four of his sons knew that very well. He had warned them several times, telling them never to get close to the humans that lived above ground, unless they wished to get hurt, or even worse, milked. Splinter used to tell his sons horrible stories about the humans, and how they hated everything that they didn’t understand. Well, that was with one exception; you.

First time you met the turtles and their rat father was by pure accident. Somehow, at the age of four years old, you had managed to get lost in the sewers, crying for your parents, unsure which way to go. Therefore you sat down, bawling your eyes out in the middle of the gross sewers of New York City, believing that this would be the last of you, and that you never would see your parents again. But to your luck, somebody heard you. Somewhere in the sewers, not far away, four turtle brothers heard crying, running to their father screaming about a ghost outside in the sewers.

Splinter, being the caring father that he was, told them he would go out and take a look for them, thinking it was probably nothing but the imagination of his sons. And that’s how Splinter ventured out in the sewer, his four year old sons following closely in his heels, before they found you crying somewhere in the corner.

Splinter’s first reaction was to run, leaving you behind while he tried to bring his sons back home safely. But his sons, being so incredibly slippery and hard to catch, with their big love for humans, had already taken a great liking to you, not leaving your side until Splinter agreed to bring you back to the lair. And that was how you spent the next few hours, safely in the lair, cuddled up with four mutant turtle toddlers, while Splinter tried to locate your family.

After that day, Splinter relaxed, thinking that his family was once again safe and hidden away from the humans. So could you imagine his shock when you stood in the doorway, asking if his sons wanted to come and play with you in the sewer. Even more shocked were he to see his sons already at your side, big puppy eyes as they waited for his permission. Splinter had already lost that battle.

Over the next eleven years, you would become a common occurrence in the brothers’ lives. Whenever you got the chance you would find yourself in the lair, hanging out with the boys that would become your closest friends. Even Splinter started to take a liking to you, even if it took a little longer than it had done with his sons. It went so far that he would invite you down to the sewers for family dinners, holidays and birthday parties, and even bring you gifts on your own birthdays.

You would become one of the few connections the boys had to the outside world, other than their few grocery runs every now and then. When the five of you weren’t playing video games, watching movies or running through the sewers or dark alleyways and rooftops, they would hang over your shoulder, watching as you did your homework, asking you all sorts of questions about human schools.

Raphael however, asked more than the others. How big was your school? Was it just like the schools in the movies you've watched together? And your teachers, were they just as horrible, and did they give you a lot of homework? The content of your homework however, didn’t interest him much. But watching you do them while telling him about your day was what he found interesting. Sitting at the kitchen table, balancing his sai between his finger and table, head resting on his other arm, stealing glances at you when you weren’t looking, deeply invested in whatever subject you were studying. He couldn’t help but hide a smile against his arm, whenever he saw you bite your lip in frustration.

Raphael’s brothers weren’t blind. They had noticed the way he would act whenever you were around, comparing it to how Leonardo would react whenever he saw a girl in a movie; awestruck. He was the first to greet you in the lair, and often the one to ask if you would come down for a visit. Once you would be in the lair, he would hover around you, unconsciously doing anything he could to stay close to you. How you still hadn’t noticed Raphael’s growing crush on you was a wonder to them. The way he would try to hug you longer than any of his brothers, and how he would poke you throughout the movie. His crush was so obvious, he might as well have been screaming it out loud in the lair. And yet you didn’t notice. But that wouldn’t last long.

It was regular Thursday evening, and you had once again been invited down to the lair for dinner with the turtles and their father. It went how it usually did, with Splinter and Michelangelo making dinner, while the three others kept you entertained. I didn’t take much, as you always found yourself having a great time in the lair.

After dinner was made, and the boys reluctantly had set the table, all of you sat down to eat. You talked about school, and that one test you had been nervous about. Splinter listened with a proud smile as you told him how it went. It did not matter to him what grade you got or how far you were in class. What mattered was how brave you had felt, making Splinter feel like a proud parent, remembering the scared little girl he and his sons found in the sewer. And it was with that feeling of proud fatherhood, that Splinter made what was meant to be a friendly comment, to who he now considered a surrogate daughter.

“It makes me happy to know you felt brave today. I think all of us feel so”, Splinter said, gesturing to the smiles on his sons’ faces. “Your growth makes me proud, but not just as a friend. (Y/N), I hope you know that we view you not just as a close friend of the family, but as a part of the family itself, like a daughter and sister”.

You smiled at Splinter, wanting to tell him how much it meant to you, and that you too felt like their family had become like a second home to you. But you couldn’t before laughter erupted from the boys, along with gagging noises, fingers pointing down their throat as they acted as if they were going to throw up. Raph however stared at his food in horror. No way his dad just said that to you!

You looked at the boys in confusion. It wasn’t uncommon for them to tease you, lightly commenting on your human looks or your smell. Nothing you couldn’t take. But that moment was different. Raphael avoided eye contact, head docked low looking displeased at his father. But his brothers looked like they were having the time of their lives, sending teasing smiles Raph’s way, making him cross his arms over his plastron, sulking even further into his chair.

“Hey!”, you said, catching their attention. “Don’t look that sad. I thought you liked me”.

“Oh, we like you, okay”, Donatello said, turning his attention towards Raphael with mischief in his eyes, nudging him with his elbow. “Some more than others”, he sang, wiggling his brows. Raph scowled at his brother, crossing his arms tighter. He now regretted sitting beside you, forcing himself to look away from you, his cheeks burning hot under his mask.

“Maybe you should quit it out, Donnie”, Leo said, a smile still plastered on his face. “You know how he gets when we tease him about that”.

“Shut it”, Raph grumbled, sliding even further down the chair, until he was almost laying on his shell.

“Teasing about what?”, you asked, still not fully understanding what was going on. “What is wrong with your dad saying I’m part of the family?”

The brothers giggled, before Mikey stood, hands cupped around his mouth as he yelled, “Raph has a crush on (Y/N)”.

“That’s it!”, Raph yelled, standing from his chair making his brothers jump in laughter. “Come here you little shits!”

You and Splinter watched as Raph chased his brothers around the lair, telling them to stop as they yelled about everything his crush on you had made him do or say.

“Okay, maybe you’re not like a sister to everyone”, Splinter said with you nodding in agreement, a small smile creeping up on your lips. Family or not, these boys meant everything to you, and you could not imagine a day without them.

How about an S/O who has been friends with the skeletons since the beginning, the first and longest friendship they ever had?

They're the most trustworthy confidant they can rely on, their ride-or-die, partner in crime, platonic soulmates if you will. Even calling out the skeletons bullshit, giving them advice, and telling them what they need to hear.

They have been there through the good and bad, been by their side at their best and at their worst.

Like I imagine they've been there long enough to be considered as one of their own and it's completely natural since they're used to being in each other's lives. They probably don't even remember when they first met.

Even if S/O were pushed away, got into a bad argument with them, or something along those lines, they're always there when the skeletons needed them the most, setting aside their issues to support the skeletons. If they ask, they'll deliver. Begrudgingly or not.

S/O promised themselves.

It's also surprising to some that they haven't dated sooner, or surprising to know they aren't already dating with how they act around each other.

They hadn't considered it until it was brought up, specifically rumors of them dating. Usually they brushed it off back then, in denial of having any intention of dating before both actually caught feelings.

That undescribable feeling they had for each other was love and hadn't realized it because being in love with them was as natural as breathing.

One thing is for sure though...

S/O and the skelly will stay together in the beginning to the end, always and forever.

( Hi! This is my first ask so I hope you don't mind this being very long and specific! I actually asked this in a similar blog but I wanted to ask you too! "best friends/soulmates who been at each other's side since the beginning and stay together to the end no matter the hardship they face" is one of my all-time favorites! I'm surprised that I haven't sent an ask like this yet lol)

— from yours truly, anon who has known ya for quite a while and somehow hadn't interacted until now xD

Anyways, I wish you all the best of luck <3

Sans: it’s because of how close this friendship is that sans took so long to confess. Truthfully he’s known for years now that he was head over heels for his bestie. It’s the fear of changing a good thing that has held him back from confessing. And the lack of reaction from his friend over anything romantic. Sans knows them well, he can read their expressions like a book, so for years he thought they felt nothing but platonic love for him. It’s when they start acknowledging the comments from others that he finally pulls himself together.

Papyrus: when undyne first points out to papyrus that him and his best friend act like a married couple, it’s then that he realizes, oh sh*t I’m in love with my bestie, and oh sh*t- I should be romancing them!!! That same day papyrus turns up on their porch with a huge bouquet of flowers and a declaration of his undying love for them. He has zero fears about them not feeling the same. He just knows they’re practically soulmates!

Star: the main reason he never confessed: he genuinely thought best friend and honey had a thing going. His brother is a cuddly guy, and bestie has practically been family for ages. So honey is extra snuggly with them. Star has had quite the self control these past years letting his brother take his “relationship” at his own pace. It’s only until honey asks star how he hasn’t just married bestie by now that start realizes his mistake lol

Honey: him and best friend might as well be a married couple. They practically live together at this point, they have “sleepovers” (aka snuggle nights) all the time, they hold hands sometimes, so they don’t loose each other of course ;). Heck honey even makes his bestie lunches when they go to work with cute little notes inside most days. It’s not until his bestie friend shyly asks if they’re dating that honey realizes he’s fallen head over heels. He’s just gotten so used to the domesticity of it all.

Red: he will never confess. Red has known since the first couple months he’s known friend that he’s in love. But red is a coward, so he will never make the first move. And red is so good at hiding his feelings that even his own brother just thinks he’s aromantic or something. Red has “never” shown any sort of romantic interest in someone after all. If they end up together, it’s because bestie confessed first

Edge: he’s pretty in tune with his own feelings, and edge doesn’t grow close to others easily. The second his friend starts putting butterflies in his stomach, he’ll know. And edge is not an idle monster. He starts planning immediately the best way to romance his friend. After all, if he’s gonna be their knight in shining armor, he has to do it with class and pizazz~

Mal: knowing mal, being this close with someone means he’s always up in their business. And mal is an open book. He doesn’t mind touchiness or feelings. He’s a rather physical monster at times too, so it’s likely he and bestie are basically living together and are probably in a fwb situation before mal realizes his feelings. He’ll casually mention one day that they might as well be official since he’s grown so “ATTACHED TO MY FAVORITE PARTNER IN CRIME”~

Cash: it’s when he starts getting jealous over others giving his friend attention that he realizes he’s caught feelings. That and mal hitting him over the head telling him to get it together lol. First cash has to apologize for the drama he started, then he immediately confesses to his friend in the most problematic way. He kisses them without warning after his apology lol

Oak/Willow: I put these two together because first, they have very similar tastes, second if someone is that close with one, they’ll be equally close with the other. And lastly, oak and willow are the most likely in all the skeleton lineup to wind up sharing a partner. It’s actually the ideal relationship setup for them. So oak and willow will both wind up falling for this particular bestie. Oak is the first to confess of course, and in his confession, he accidentally gives willow away. “Oh and my brother is in love with you too- sh*t I wasn’t supposed to say that-“. lol thankfully I’m sure bestie will sort things out

Hello! I hope ur well. I’m abit new to Tumblr and stumbled across ur blog because the Submas content :3.

If you still do requests rn, and something ur comfy with, could I ask for Self Aware AU Ingo discovering his newfound consciousness interacting with reader who play Pokémon Masters? Maybe the reader struggles with self-esteem/depression and Ingo comforts them completely by surprise after a rough day? (Sorry it’s a mouthful to read lol, I appreciate ya!)

-🪴 anon

😭 ingo just wanting to comfort you.

Self aware Ingo x depressed!reader

Hi, just a little reminder before we get started here: if you're ever feeling thoughts of self-esteem or issues with depression, please know that you are loved, and you are beautiful on the inside and out! Make sure you eat a snack and drink some water while reading this.

If this ever made your day even a little bit better, then I did my job, and thank you for reading!

He didn't know when or how he gained consciousness. All he remembered was the first thing he saw when he "woke up" familiar faces in a usual place, the calm music that the Pokemon Center plays every night. Pokemon was standing right next to him, but as his eyes looked forward into what he perceived was a giant portal created by Palkia and Dialga themselves. And a smiling face looking down upon the world he inhabited.

He had thought you were one of Arceus's angels, and this was about a dream, but soon, he had realized that only half was the case.

It all seemed to click who you were. You are not some dead fish-eyed child with a robotic Pikachu like what this world had portrayed you as no far from; instead of that kid with the permanent smile, you always seem to have a tired look on your face with either a small half-smile or a Blank Stare. But to Ingo, he always preferred to you behind the screen. Even when you were no longer watching the world, he could still hear your faint voice going about your day. You seemed more lively and more human than the blank slated avatar they gave you. How could he not be drawn to you even though you seem so sad? Your eyes and your being just seem so full of life that he felt an urge to protect and care for you.

Even though the fake Island had tons of people and, he felt more alone than he ever did, especially when he realized he was the only one different from the rest. He can't help but respond to every little question or reaction in his head, afraid of what you might do if he ever breaks away from the game's script.

But on a particular day that was a rough one for you mentally and physically, when Ingo saw you opening up the app instead of that same expression, your eyes were red from crying. No, you were still crying. His heart sank. If he could, if he could touch you, he would hold you close and Whisper nothing but good things in your ear until you calm down, but he can't do that. He couldn't do anything!! He felt sick with worry as he watched you cry, your lip quivering as you vent to yourself, saying the most horrible things about yourself !! And for a moment, he threw away his worries of the consequences.

" Are you okay?"

A simple three-letter sentence that made you freeze; your heart's practically stopped as you didn't know that you were being watched. It took you a while for your brain to process who the voice was coming from, looking down at your phone to see your favorite character stare back. Huh... Odd you didn't know he had that line before.... and not only that, you didn't remember clicking on him. Usually, characters say their lines after you click on them, yet you don't even touch them. As you were Gathering your thoughts, Ingo spoke again.

" I truly wish I could wipe away those tears, I regretfully can't do much but if it helps tell me about your day and I'll listen."

Ingo speaks again... no text box appears; nothing; he just talked to you, mentioning your crying. In that first moment, you didn't know how you felt. Your favorite character coming to life and talking to you was almost a dream come true, but the thought just seemed so impossible and unrealistic that you doubted the fact that you were awake. And your feelings are already all over the place, having no one to turn to, no one to comfort you, craving that comfort, your heart exploded. You can't stop the tears rolling down your face, even if is just a dream; what a beautiful dream it is.

"I-i don't know." You stuttered you were far too gone to even articulate what you are feeling all your emotions swelling for the past month or two bubbling up into a mess of emotion. You want us to tell him tell him that your day was crap tell him how crappy you looked right now tell him that he can't believe he saw you like this that your first meeting with your favorite character your favorite person in the world was like this red in the face tears falling from your red and puffy eyes.

But Ingo did not seem fazed; he was not disgusted, he was not angry at you. He understood if he was there if he wasn't trapped behind the screen, he would have wished you in his arms and laid his lips on your forehead. He knew how you felt; he listened to your angry ramblings about yourself; he listened to the times people had treated you like you were less than human or misused your kindness, manipulated and used you for their own gain. He wanted to hold you close, make you something you like, and tell you that the word you know about yourself is not true; he wanted to tell you how much you mean to him and how nice and loving you are, how kind and thoughtful and how gorgeous you were. Those people who mistreated you are not good people, and you deserve to be respected, you deserve happiness, and you deserve to be loved.

You deserve to be told that you're beautiful every day, to be made breakfast in bed and kissed at every waking moment. Because that's what he would do for you; that's what his heart ached for him to do.

But he did what he could do which was listen to your broken sobs as you pour your heart out.

" It sounds like you had quite a day... I wish I could do more than just listen and speak to you, but what I can do is tell you what the things you say about yourself is not true... and I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. Could you stay with me for a while? I wish to talk to you, and we start from the beginning, shall we? Now, my dear, please tell me what's bothering you and wipe away those tears. Pretend that it's my fingers swiping across your eyes."

His voice, usually loud and booming, was surprisingly soft, warm, and welcoming. From his calming voice to your Outburst earlier, you felt your heart slow down and your tears dry as you wipe them from your face; those steel gray eyes light up for a moment when he sees just a piece of a smile flicker on your lips.

" there's that smile~"

[cosmicjoke]

This one goes out to that sweet little tootsie roll of an anon who just tried to invalidate my analyses posts, not with any actual analyses of their own, but by pointing out to me that I have a small blog, lol. Because everyone knows popularity equals substance. Taylor Swift must have a better voice than Adele, since she’s sold more records. Hey, it’s Beethoven’s birthday today! He wasn’t anywhere near the most popular composer of his day, but he’s the one people continue to talk about and whose music still gets performed nearly 200 years after his death. Wonder why that is?

So anyway, I wrote this weeks ago, but I’m posting it now to annoy…

I've got a question for the people who claim Levi's morality is a product of his association with Erwin, or that Erwin is somehow responsible for his morality.

If Levi learned all his morality from Erwin, or only acts in accordance with Erwin's moral "example", then why was he constantly expressing apprehension and reservation over Erwin's plans? Why was he always basically laying into Erwin, giving him a hard time, over his gambles with people's lives? He trusted in Erwin and believed he was doing it all for the right reasons, that he must be able to see something Levi couldn't, but you could see that Levi was always less than happy about having to sacrifice lives, always struggling with the idea of it, even as it was ostensibly for a good cause. That struggle comes from Levi's own, inner compassion and sense of morality.

Why was Levi so upset and disgusted at Erwin for gambling with his, Furlan's and Isabel's lives for what, at the time, seemed like nothing more than an opportunity to get rid of a political opponent of the SC?

Why was Levi so unsettled and outright disgusted with Erwin's reaction upon hearing that titans were human? Why did he question Erwin on that, and call him a weirdo, if Levi's moral compass relied on Erwin's example of morality?

Levi started to doubt that Erwin was the altruistic man he'd thought he was after that, culminating in their confrontation in Erwin's office before the mission to retake Maria.

If Erwin served as Levi's moral guide and compass, then why was it LEVI who had to make the right call in the most pivotal moment, by ordering Erwin to do his duty and die for humanity? Because Erwin couldn't do it on his own. Erwin faltered, and it was Levi who had to become the leader in that moment. Levi whom Erwin had to rely upon to make the morally right choice. Erwin trusted Levi with the serum to begin with because Erwin himself understood that Levi had stronger moral conviction than himself. Because he understood that Levi was morally incorruptible, and would make the choice he felt was the right one, no matter what.

Nobody's ever denied that Erwin was pivotal in his impact on Levi, but people completely fail to understand in what way Erwin impacted Levi. He didn't instill Levi's compassion in him, nor his desire to help others. That existed long before he ever met him. What Erwin did was show Levi how to help people. Because of where and how Levi grew up, he didn't have the means, or the know-how to help people in the way he wanted, and Erwin provided him those things. Levi's loyalty to Erwin was rooted in the fact that Erwin was able to help Levi to help others. That's the bottom line. He trusted in Erwin so much because he seemed to know how best to utilize Levi's strength to benefit people. It was never because he was obsessed with or only cared about Erwin. Levi was never fighting for Erwin, he was always fighting for humanity. Erwin just gave Levi the means by which to do so.

One more question and example. Why did Levi help the town of Trost if he only acted in accordance to Erwin's moral imperatives? Levi's entire interaction with Dimo Reeves is completely outside of Erwin's purview. Erwin had nothing to do with Levi's decision to help the people of that town. Levi goes well out of his way, and outside the parameters of his mission, to help these people, and he does it completely out of the kindness of his own heart. It's completely unnecessary to their mission's success. He isn't following Erwin's orders here, he isn't acting in accordance with Erwin's instructions. He does it because he actually listens to and cares about the suffering of those people. That indisputably demonstrates Levi's individual sense of morality. Again, it's got nothing to do with Erwin. It's purely a product of Levi's empathy and compassion, upon which his morality is based. So how do these clowns explain that? How are they going to give Erwin the credit for that?

The same thing applies to Levi saving Ramzi's life in Marley. Erwin's been dead four freakin' years by that point, and yet still, we see Levi acting in accordance with his own, moral compass, acting out of his innate sense of empathy and compassion. Again, that doesn't come from Erwin. It comes from himself. I could go on and on. Levi giving Petra's patch to Dieter, after Erwin had ignored his open grief, Levi holding the hand of that dying soldier at the beginning and promising he'll continue to fight for him, Levi's open disgust with Eren for his attack on Liberio, Levi going out of his way to express his gratitude to Nifa or Eren or Connie. Levi apologizing to Hange over their squad getting killed by Kenny. Levi realigning Sanne's nose for bragging about all the people he's tortured and killed and acting like it made him some sort of hero. Levi being sickened by Kenny describing killing his squad as a "hobby". Levi reminding Erwin that it shouldn't be him he's thanking, but the soldiers that gave their lives to pull off Erwin's plan to trap the Female Titan. Levi regularly attempting to save as many lives as possible, to the point of his own, physical exhaustion. Regularly ordering his soldiers to survive and not die. Wanting to save others from having to commit acts of violence, wanting others to have the freedom and agency to choose their own paths and how to live their lives. Wanting desperately to make it so the lives he couldn't save weren't lost in vain. None of any of that has to do with Erwin. None of that is Levi following Erwin's example. These are all moments born from Levi's own, inner moral compass, born from his own agency and independent thought and nature.

♥️ Ranking Richonne

#16: It's For You (S4E09)

This blog has always been a place to focus on whatever is beautiful about Richonne and truly the best word to describe this moment here is beautiful. And masterfully done. I adore this scene and, while we don’t even see Richonne interact, we do get to see the telling and joyous way they both react to each other. It’s a precious visual of how much they already mean to each other at this point. Their connection is one of a kind, and I love how Rick and Michonne's pre-canon moments are still so romantic, like in this ep here where TWD really gets the storytelling of it all exactly right...

After a really well-done episode getting to see where Michonne, Carl, and Rick are at after the fall of the prison, I adore that "After" ends with magnets finding their way back to each other.

I’ll forever be glad that when splitting up team family, it’s Rick, Carl, and Michonne who got to spend this time traveling and bonding together as the show’s golden trio. I’m telling you, the universe knew Rick and Michonne were not meant to be split up for long. 

So first, I’m already just feeling so proud of Michonne that after reflecting on the tragedy from her past she decided she’s not going to return to that numbing lone wolf state and instead, she’s going to follow the footsteps that lead her to her family.

And then she finds them because sis always finds what she’s looking for, be it a prison, a savior outpost, or Rick when she eventually finds him in TOWL. 👏🏽

And without words, Danai so stunningly conveys how elated Michonne is to look through that window and see Rick and Carl eating side by side.

Her boys are so cute in that living room, and after their spats throughout the episode, it’s nice to see Rick and Carl finally having a peaceful moment together.

The choreography of this whole thing is great with Michonne reaching for her sword and then releasing it when she sees them. It's symbolic to her knowing that she’s found the ones she can most let her guard down with. She found her family. 🥰

The way Michonne sheds tears and smiles and has that emotional little laugh just upon seeing them. Beautiful. 🥹 She even looks up to the sky - cuz she knows the universe was on her side with this one.

Rick and Carl mean so much to her, and at this moment you know she knows it. Finding Rick and Carl specifically has to be so rewarding because, as we saw at the prison, they were who she was starting to get closest to. 

It’s also really cute and even playful almost that she knocks as this way to sorta surprise them. She could’ve just said it’s her or whatever but this way is so much better. I know deep down she knows they’re about to be stoked to see her, cuz those Grimes boys always light up when she’s around. 😊

So then just like we got to see Michonne’s beautiful raw reaction to Rick and Carl, we also get to see Rick’s unfiltered elated reaction to seeing Michonne and it is such a heartwarming thing. 

Let me tell you, Michonne breathes life into that man so effortlessly. Just the sight of her on the other side of that door seemed to have Rick feeling a bit less tore up from the floor up.

And I will always love that Rick can be a little extra when it comes to Michonne so he looks out the peephole and sees her and can’t help but make it a whole moment as he takes a breath, slides down to the couch, and starts laughing with that smile only Michonne can bring out of him. It’s the absolute best. 😊♥️

Like homeboy can barely breathe, but he’s still gonna have a tickled pink reaction to knowing his crush and his son's bestie found them lol. Who else is making Rick Grimes giddy like this? No one but Michonne, honey.

And Carl is like, alright my dad is being extra so what is this about. I low-key thought Rick was about to tell Carl...

lol. But Rick instead says something even better as the scene ends with one of my favorite endings to an episode of TWD.

Because Rick looks up at Carl with a smile and then perfectly says, “It’s for you.”

I will forever love this line. 😍 Like it’s so good and Andy’s delivery is flawless. I love that Rick knows the bond Carl and Michonne have, and he knows how excited Carl will be to open that door and see her.

And while the line indicates it's for Carl, Rick's pleased reaction says this is absolutely for him too. And truly it feels like Michonne’s return to their life is deliberately for them and for her because they all need each other so much. Seeing her is a certifiable W, and Rick knows it.

Watching Rick and Michonne’s separate reactions to each other just made it so clear they have something special between them. And I know these reactions were specifically because of the three of them, more so than it being about finding just anyone in tf.

Rick, Michonne, and Carl were always meant to be family, and moments like this confirm it. 

This whole moment was screaming romantic, y'all. Like how lucky are we that Richonne’s story features so many heartfelt and swoon-worthy moments, both pre and post-canon.

Also, I was thinking about something...Back when season 4 was airing, Richonne fans who were far keener than I at the time knew moments like this "it's for you" one were planting the seeds of a Richonne romance. This then prompted other TWD fans to mock and grumble that Richonners think the show is a love story.

And no The Walking Dead is not a romance, but best believe once Rick met Michonne, a powerful and significant love story began to unfold and became central to why Rick Grimes, TWD's main character, fought to keep going. After all, what are any of these characters fighting to live for, if not the love they have in that world?

This is why I'll always stand by the fact that Rick and Michonne's love is important to the plot. And hey, look how far we've come from dealing with grumblings about us thinking TWD is a love story to now Rick and Michonne's final TWD chapter being officially (and repeatedly 🙌🏽) declared an "epic love story " with TOWL. Looks like those early Richonners were onto something huh 😋

And it's precious moments like this "it's for you" one that add such a heartfelt element to Rick and Michonne's slow burn and love story. It is just such a special scene and I get why Andy said it's one of his favorite endings to a TWD episode.

I love the quietness of this scene, the emotion of it, the kismet aspect of Rick and Michonne finding each other and being joyous when they do. What a beautiful ending to an excellent episode and a refreshing step forward in the making of Richonne. 😌

[nerd4music]

I think overall there’s one of two „big“ problems happening for people who have a problem with TOWL (racists and the likes aside… 🙄).

1- The misunderstanding that this was truly much more a Rick and Michonne story than a TWD one. This was not TWD S12. It was about telling the story of these 2 characters and being able to put a dot at the end (or a dot dot dot). And you’ve laid all of that out perfectly. Like yes, in TWD, Beale (& the CRM) would have been draaaaagged out. But this was much more of a Terminus approach than a Saviors one if we will…

2- TWD was never the most ..subtle show. They tended to hit the audience over the head with stuff. And I’m not sure I would go as far as calling TOWL subtle outright either (idk, didn’t think about this until right this moment lol -obviously elements of it are, sure -just as elements on TWD could be on the subtler side) but compared to TWD, it certainly is lol. And there has been a very big „media literacy“ and „basic comprehension skills“ problem happening for a minute now. And I really don’t say this to be mean or make fun of people or anything but these are just facts. Some people really struggle with getting the information when they are not being hit over the head with it, over and over and over again. After the finale I saw several posts on my tl of people wondering why this, that or the other was not addressed or how/why this, that or the other did happen… and I was utterly confused because those things they claimed were missing were very much shown? I was like, there was literally a scene dealing with all of this? And it didn’t require any reading between the lines to be honest, no subtext, it was very much the text of the scene?! So it seems like some people just didn’t get a lot of things that were happening 🫤

(BTW I don’t mean that even if someone didn’t have these specific problems with the show, they MUST love it then. Likes and dislikes etc etc. As much as I really loved the show as a whole, if I decided to put down the Richonne-colored glasses I wanted to and did watch to the show with.. I’d definitely have a few complaints lol, though still very much enjoyed the show even then)

That's definitely what happened. And to some extent, I get why, considering Rick and Michonne are 2/3 of the main show's Big Three. But when the press and promos started, and people were still talking about some Marvel-style meet-up, I was like...oh they're definitely not listening to what's being said, because it's six damn episodes, and also The Richonne story, not the Team Family jamboree. And then acting as if it's somehow 'insulting' to the rest of the characters if Rick and Michonne didn't talk about them. The man had PTSD so bad, he couldn't remember his own son's face. Why would you think it would be good time for him to pause in the middle of his wife telling him about a traumatic moment during her pregnancy to ask about anyone else? Please be fr.

I feel you on the comprehension thing, which is nothing new for this fandom. The fact that so many people legit thought Rick didn't know how to drive stick and questioned the 'realism' of it but never stopped to think that it was because he only has one damn hand. Y'all were fine with every silly ass moment that happened in the main show, that was either sheer dumb luck or handwaved away, but now we need a complete breakdown from experts on how Rick managed to fight off walkers one-handed. Now y'all want the realism, when you've been so giddy for weeks because you need one of them to die for the show to be 'interesting'.

I'm really not listening to people who need the narrative to hold their hand through everything, or need to see every piece of the plot onscreen for it to be considered 'legitimate'. (I'm officially banning the phrase 'plot armor' for the foreseeable future).

People didn't get things, because they don't take a minute to sit with the damn material anymore. From live reactions videos to live tweeting/blogging, people are just watching TV to make content and have an online moment, not for what's actually being shown. And yeah, TOWL isn't perfect, but the minor criticisms I have for it doesn't take away from the fact that it is very enjoyable and easily the best material from the TWD landscape in a long time.

(sidenote: I will say one of my favorite things from these past six weeks is everyone struggling to figure out the overall TWD timeline, lmao.)

Anon wrote: Just realized I've been following your blog for 8 years, so first of all thank you for everything that you have taught me. I sincerely appreciate your work here. I'm an ENFP (26), I moved countries 2 months ago and had a brief 3 month romance with another ENFP (29) before moving. We both have adhd, maybe useful to know. We’ve stayed friends, but we obviously can’t hang out and he’s not a frequent texter, so I find that I’m missing him a lot.

I have many close friendships and am good at building connections, but this one meant more to me somehow. He has certain qualities I adore, I’ve never connected with anyone else who expresses them quite the same way. He’s very spontaneous and creative in a way that you never know what he’s going to say. He also matches my curiosity and enthusiasm about literally everything, and to see my own expression/feelings mirrored by him was very special to me.

I am missing these qualities, and while I recognize them in myself too, it was in sharing them that I felt great joy. I also felt safe with him in a way I haven’t in any past romantic relationships. I suffered emotional and narcissistic abuse in childhood from my parents, so I’ve done a lot of healing work to get to a place where I notice when I feel safe and am attracted to people who make me feel safe, and this is the first time where that worked out for me.

As a person he felt totally unique, and I guess I’m just keenly aware of how special and irreplaceable our connection is, even though I’m confident I will find romantic love again eventually. I keep doing and seeing things that I wish I could have shared with him. Do you have advice for dealing with missing someone like this? Is this regular heartbreak, and time will do its healing? Are there healthy/unhealthy ways to miss someone and how can I tell the difference? Thank you <3

--------------------

You've been following for 8 years?? Not gonna lie, feeling a bit old at the moment, lol...

I was deeply touched just reading your description of the relationship, so I can only imagine how special it was to you. I think it's the perfect example of the advantages a same-type relationship can offer.

When does missing become "unhealthy"? I try to be careful using that word because I don't believe in pathologizing negative but normal feelings and emotions. It's not unreasonable or irrational to miss a relationship that enriched you and your life. You're feeling a deep sense of loss because you've actually suffered a loss.

Grief is the main emotional reaction to loss. Like every strong emotion, grief needs time to play itself out. The grieving process should be respected because, without it, it's hard to move forward. There are many different ways to express grief. Some people talk it out, some cry it out, some act out, some withdraw, some bury themselves in work, etc.

There isn't really a "wrong" way to grieve per se, but grief can become unhealthy in some cases, if: 1) emotions don't lessen in intensity after a long period of time, AND 2) it starts to interfere with normal activities to the point where it prevents you from living life as fully as you'd like to. Generally speaking, "harmfulness" is one of the main criteria psychologists use for determining whether an issue is serious enough to be classified as "unhealthy".

I think your situation is complicated because there are multiple things going on. You're not just grieving the loss of an important relationship, which is a difficult process in itself, you've also recently made a big move in life. No matter how healthy and adaptable an ENFP is, in practical terms, it still takes time and effort to adjust to a new environment. Being in a new place is exciting but it can also be disorienting, which means you can easily feel unmoored.

Existential instability often prompts Si types to lean on Si for comfort, to seek out the warmth of the known and familiar. While this is a natural process for grounding oneself, when Si is the inferior function, there is always a danger of inadvertently spiraling into Si grip. Si grip is unhealthy because it means Ne has shut down. It keeps you stuck in the past, unable to live life well.

You don't know what the future will bring, so it's pointless to speculate about whether you will or won't find another comparable relationship. Making unfair comparisons to the past is a slippery slope into Si grip. It leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy: you expect that things won't live up to the past, so you don't invest properly in the present, and then... nothing ever lives up to the past.

If you hope to keep having great relationships throughout life, it is of the utmost importance that you remain capable of treating people fairly. Nobody likes to live under the shadow of a mythological past, so don't force that upon others. You have to be able to approach a new relationship as a fresh start so that it has a fair shot of developing to its fullest potential.

In other words, you need to be careful about being in a headspace where the past starts to seem more appealing to you than the present and the future. Until that point, it's likely that your negative feelings and emotions are normal and you just need to work on accepting them (through Fi development). Grant yourself patience and compassion to grieve and say goodbye to the past.

Although he may still be in your life, the relationship needs to move into a new reality, which means you must adjust your mindset accordingly. Turning the page to a new chapter of life doesn't mean you lose your memories of the previous chapter. Allowing yourself time and space for a proper goodbye is actually a way of cherishing memories and recognizing just how important they were to your growth. And as grief fades with time, you can then move on to the next stage of growth with an open mind and an open heart.

Wardrobe Symbolism in Duets

I’ve been wanting to talk about the symbolism behind this sweater for forever, and I had almost thought about posting this on the glee Reddit but…I don’t think this kind of thing would be welcome there idk lol so I decided to finally start a blog to talk about glee so I can make my stupidly long essays in peace.

Anyways here’s an overly long Kurt Hummel character analysis!

This sweater is one of my favorites clothing choices in the show, and I think it gives us a lot of insight into Kurt’s character.

Quick disclaimer:

I know it’s just a tv show and it’s not that deep, in fact I truly believe glee is a show with absolutely 0 subtext and what you see is what you get. I think I’m pretty good at separating what the show intended vs what I actually feel, and I try to point out what’s actually canon and what’s not. I also know very well that Glee often underestimated the seriousness of the topics they talked about and they almost never actually planned stuff ahead, so none of this was actually meant to be that serious in the show. Not just that, but the understanding of consent has changed over the years as well, and that reflects in media of its time. However! I find it fun to analyze everything anyway. This is literally just for fun!

Okay now…

Duets, in my opinion, is one of the most defining episodes for Kurt’s character, in conjunction with Wheels and Theatricality. This episode contains some pretty important moments for him.

For one, he gets called out for his previous behavior regarding the Finn situation in season 1.

We learn just how lonely he feels, and how his biggest wish is to be able to live and experience romance just like anyone else.

He overcomes said loneliness by owning it and doing a duet on his own that celebrates both masculinity and femininity.

He gains a friend in Rachel.

He also learns 2 lessons that have a big impact on his character. While the obvious “don’t hit on straight boys” is an objectively good one that Kurt will take to heart as he never does so again, there is an underlying message of “your problems are not anyone else’s” that will, going forward, also have a negative effect on Kurt, and most notably why he struggles with his relationship with Blaine.

To fully understand Duets and Kurt’s character, and the affect this subplot will have on his future character development, you have to understand that:

Kurt’s crush on Finn was gone in Home, and in Theatricality he was completely over Finn. His frustration towards Finn in that episode stems from being misunderstood, and the miscommunication between them because Finn didn’t know that Kurt's crush was gone. So he already has had experiences having his motives misconstrued

You can’t just pay attention to what only Finn and Burt were saying in Duets, like I think a lot of people do. Rachel’s words to him at the end of this episode, “I can’t imagine what it would be like to have feelings you can’t act on for fear of being humiliated, ridiculed, or worse”, are just as important to understanding the effect this will have on Kurt. The situation is more than just “Kurt was wrong for wanting to sing with Sam”.

However, this isn’t solely about dissecting Duets as whole, so I’ll move on!

Obviously on the surface, this handprint sweater, in this specific episode and this specific scene, represents his lack of boundaries towards Finn in season 1, the assumption that he’ll act the same with Sam, and the reality that, no matter how innocent his intentions might be with Sam, they will automatically be misconstrued as sexual or predatory because of his sexuality. (It really is vital that people understand Rachel’s speech at the end of the episode. This episode isn’t solely about Sam’s consent being ignored by Kurt, because Sam explicitly agrees to sing with Kurt, but it’s also about other people’s reactions if they found out a guy was singing with Kurt, fair or not. Like Finn said, they live in “their” world).

Finn tells Kurt he doesn’t know when no means no. Hence the blue sweater depicting two messy handprints on his chest.

But while that’s the obvious reason it’s used in this scene, there’s something else that’s prevalent with Kurt’s character that will become a major plot point in just two episodes. An issue Kurt will face again and again throughout the show: a disrespect towards his own consent/boundaries, and the lack of agency he feels over his life and body, which affects how he sees himself and interacts with others. It’s foreshadowing for the upcoming arc where Karofsky crosses the line and kisses him. The hands are, after all, ultimately on him.

From episode 1, our very first introduction to Kurt is him being thrown into a dumpster by a group of boys and ignored by Will. With a distant, tense relationship with his father, a dead mother, and no friends, Kurt’s main form of contact with other people is the physical bullying he receives. To the point where Finn’s apathy towards him was seen as flirting by Kurt, because that was the nicest a person would be to him. While Finn was a bystander to most of the bullying Kurt received, even actively participating in some of it, Kurt still developed a crush on him.

I believe this all contributed to him having a muddied view of boundaries (thinking it’s okay to set their parents up), his own self worth, and aids in his need for control (which he usually exercised over his dad as that’s the only person he can truly influence, and what he attempted in Home with Finn, but that blew up in his face in the very same episode. Kurt might want to try to control people, but he’s not very good at it!) because he feels as if he has so little of it over his own life.

Another early example of feeling a loss of control: he had no say in how he was able to come out to most people. He was able to do it with Mercedes and his dad on his own terms, two clearly monumental and emotional moments for him, but everyone else automatically assumed he was gay. In Preggers, he still tells Finn he's not gay. In this sense, his choice was taken away, because people had already decided for him that he was gay. And with that loss of choice, came harassment.

Of course, in season 1, Kurt never just took the bullying meekly nor was he particularly scared of his bullies. He usually had a snide comment to make as a defense/coping mechanism. But he did mostly accept it passively because he knew there was really no way he could stop it himself or get help, as people like Mr. Schue would walk by, oblivious. Kurt eventually gives up in season 2, and in turn begins to believe he’s not worthy of being helped and that he needs to deal with his issues on his own, something we already see him feel in Wheels when he decides to keep his dad from knowing the true extent of the harassment he faces to protect him. Duets further cements this for him, as Finn and Burt tell Kurt if he sings with Sam, he’ll be dragging Sam into the bullying he faces, and that’s not fair to Sam, even if Sam had agreed to sing with him. It’s not about the fact that Kurt gets bullied, because it’s treated as an almost inevitable fact of life, it’s that he shouldn’t get others involved. So Kurt decides to dissolve the partnership. You can compare how Kurt in Theatricality is still able to (curtly) ask Finn to tell Azimio and Karofsky to at least leave his clothes alone if they’re going to bully him (not even to stop the bullying, but just to leave his clothes out of it), vs Furt where he’s uncomfortable with the club trying to defend him because it’s not their problem.

Things continue to escalate in season 2. Karofsky forcibly kisses Kurt in Never Been Kissed (and even tries to kiss him again before Kurt pushes him away), and along with the bullying, which still included seemingly daily physical assault as Dave full body slams into Kurt constantly, it ramps up to covert sexual harassment (The wink in The Substitute, the finger on his chest in Furt, along with trying to spin the situation as if Kurt kissed and liked him, essentially trying to victim blame him). This is when we see Kurt go from being passively annoyed/tired of it to being legitimately afraid. Because of the kiss, Karofsky's previous and current targeted harassment towards Kurt takes on a whole new meaning, too. It’s troubling to know that someone who has shown over and over again that they have the capability of being violent towards you also doesn’t respect your consent, and Karofsky stealing the cake topper symbolizes Kurt’s greater fear of what Karofsky is capable of.

(Also I’m fully aware there are giant, glaring differences between how Finn and Karofsky had treated Kurt, so the situations are truly not compatible, but I do find it interesting that, at a certain point, Kurt had been hoping for the "bully secretly in love with him" stereotype to be true, but the actual reality of it was so much scarier than he imagined. Again, not comparable situations at all as Finn's main selling point to Kurt was that he was nice, but I do think Kurt's crush on him showed that he could be someone willing to overlook some abuse. I feel like the implications of Kurt’s crush on Finn and what it said about himself and his experience as a lonely gay teen is often lost because people would rather make it a black and white situation.)

Yet, after the kiss happens, Kurt is more concerned with not outing Karofsky. While he does get to express his sadness over his first kiss being with Karofsky for a scene with Blaine, the scene prior is not a confrontation meant to tell Karofsky he doesn’t know when no means no, or anything about what Kurt feels, it’s Kurt (through Blaine) extending an olive branch to Karofsky and telling Karofsky that he’s not alone and he can talk to them. When Karofsky asks him in The Substitute if he’s told anyone else, Kurt says he knows how hard it is for him so he won’t tell anyone. Kurt, despite everything, ultimately puts Karofsky first, even before Karofsky threatens him over it.

This is for 3 possible reasons. The purely canon one is that he didn’t want to out Karofsky. The show spells it out for you, that’s Kurt’s main motivation to keep Karofsky’s secret safe with him. And, of course, it’s an important one. It could be dangerous for Dave if he’s outed, Kurt knows that better than anyone, and that was Glee’s main moral of that arc: it’s not okay to out people. (until it sorta is later...ugh I hate debates over Santana's outing simply because even regardless of the fact that it was a horrible thing to happen to her, regardless of anyone's personal feelings on Santana, the show had already set the precedent that no matter how "mean" someone is, it is not okay to out them!)

But based on past experiences Kurt has had, I think there are 2 possible other subtextual motivations behind his refusal to tell anyone outside of Blaine:

He knows he wouldn’t be helped. And he wasn’t, which only furthered his belief that telling people about his problems is useless.

He feels he would be blamed for his own assault. He’d already been blamed for his own bullying multiple times (Theatricality, Duets, Wheels, though that was him shouldering the responsibility himself without anyone else's input), and he knows people take issue with him interacting with other guys. Possibly in his eyes it could be likely, especially as Karofsky had already tried to say Kurt had kissed him, that the situation could turn around on him and he could be the one blamed for trying to kiss Karofsky.

And so, Kurt keeps it in.

As the show goes on he’s “stalked” (using this term rather loosely, however I do think it would be natural if Kurt had been extra creeped out by the fact that Karofsky, who now goes to a different school had been visiting him everyday as a "secret admirer") and confessed to by Karofsky in Heart, pressured into sex in The First Time and then yelled at for saying no (to be clear here since this is a sensitive topic: Regardless of what you feel about Blaine’s intentions in the first part of this scene, I feel like it should be easy to admit his reaction to Kurt rejecting him was still objectively guilt trippy/mean/wrong. And that’s even without the added context of the Sebastian/school play of it all which really...adds some very troubling layers to an already rather messy situation), Sexy Santa ties him up when he doesn’t want to roleplay in Previously Unaired Christmas (I’m also aware this is an AU, not meant to be canon, but it’s interesting to me that even in an AU, Kurt’s consent being disrespected is a recurring theme), and Walter is deceitful about his age when he and Kurt talked online in The Hurt Locker Part 1.

Other example of a non-romantic/sexual moments when his boundaries are pushed would be Grilled Cheesus, where he asks the club not to pray for his dad and he’s ignored, even by the adults in his life like Will and Emma, because they think they know what’s best for him. In the end, he relents and says he should have just let them pray and sings a religious song with them anyway. Even his own wedding with Blaine wasn’t exactly “his choice” (but of course, we know it was something that he ultimately wanted in the end anyway.)

Now, I have to recognize: canonically, none of this actually affects Kurt in a way that’s super explicitly obvious. He never outright says “wow I felt very disrespected by this thing that happened. I think I'm going to have communication issues from now on.” lol. When Blaine gets upset that Kurt didn’t want to have sex in TFT, it’s seen as no big deal by Kurt or the narrative. He even says it was worse when Blaine made out with Rachel. And it’s not hard to understand why it’s framed that way. The show itself already has a questionable view of consent (ex: Puck/Quinn) so, to the writers, the overall narrative, and Kurt, it’s no bigger argument than any other. It’s not meant to be that serious. This stuff, as it seems, doesn’t phase him as much as you might think it would, as he is willing to having sex with Blaine literally the next day, and he’s able to move on without problem. And, if you want to believe that none of this affected Kurt because that is somewhat textually factual, you can! It’s right there in canon. In fact, even as someone who absolutely despises TFT, I still think it’s a bittt disingenuous to overblow the effect this has on Kurt by acting as if this forever traumatized him when it feels like the show went out of its way to be like “no, actually it was fine!!” (And I plan to make a post about my full thoughts on TFT eventually.)

However, while I do believe Glee is not a subtext heavy show, I still think you can still make inferences based on what the text presents us. Subtextually, it’s possible to draw the conclusion that Kurt’s nonchalance is because Kurt had already been conditioned to believe he didn’t deserve better treatment (in Duets his bullying is basically seen as a given), had no faith he’d be helped even if he did tell anyone else, and had the belief that he brought this stuff on himself because he’s the one who doesn’t know when no means no. Things like being "stalked", catfished, and yelled at for not wanting to have sex when he already felt uncomfortable and disrespected didn’t register to him as something that maybe he should feel more upset about. Instead, his focus is usually on what the other person might feel. He seeks out and apologizes to Blaine (and this is done for a very specific reason in TFT, to reassure the audience that having sex was 100% Kurt’s choice, but I’ll save that for a post dedicate to that episode lol while I understand their intentions, I still think it ends up painting the situation in a bad light). He blames himself for not picking up Karofsky’s calls. He continues to date Walter.

And I think it’s possible to see how much brushing off these instances affected him later in the show. Because he feels his problem's are not anyone else's, he has a lack of communication skills that ended up causing a rift between him and Blaine when they moved to New York (telling Blaine they need to talk more, then saying they talk too much in Tested), an intense need for control (being upset when Blaine moved a desk in New New York), as well as, how he mentions in Loser Like Me, that he learned in therapy that he doesn’t like himself so he felt he was undeserving of love, and so when Blaine showed him intimacy, he felt like there was something wrong with Blaine too. Kurt was conditioned to believe he had to be alone (Burt’s speech to him in Duets) and so, he ended up internalizing it and was unable to cope when Blaine did anything but leave him alone.

And I would like to add another disclaimer: this analysis isn't actually meant to perpetually woobify Kurt (do people still use that word? am I showing my age?). What I love most about Kurt is how strong he is. He can handle soo much, in fact I think "Kurt had a victim complex" is a huge misconception about his character, because I feel he often tried to brush aside his bigger problems, which is my point here. But I also believe there's also no shame in being a victim. Kurt, and by extension any person, is not lesser than because they had bad things happen to them. Kurt was still able to be strong and kind, and personally I think that’s why I find his character so interesting. Despite all the bad, Kurt continued on. And I just love that character development isn't always just "This character became a better person", sometimes it's a character internalizing lessons that actually negatively affect them! I feel like so many of the issues Kurt continued to have later on in the show stemmed from Duets.

TLDR:

The hands on his sweater represent an occurring theme in Kurt's story where his boundaries were disrespected, and how in turn that had funneled into unhealthy mindset that negatively affected his view of boundaries, himself and his relationship with Blaine.

And, I have a lot less to say about this but, Sam’s Captain America shirt he wears before he gets slushied was also used as symbolism, but I think this is more known? He was being “heroic” by sticking to his values and not letting Finn talk him out of dueting with Kurt, but it also represents the fact that now that he’s in the glee club, he’s a target for harassment. It’s interesting to me that he gets slushied before he even duets with Kurt, though, proving that it isn't Kurt's sole responsibility to keep Sam from being harassed, because being in the club is already enough of a reason. I also have a working theory that in Glee, red symbolizes individuality and blue symbolizes team work and Kurt's sweater being blue means he's putting the team above himself as Finn had told him...but I'm not sure how much I fully believe it. I need to stop being lazy and write an essay about the general color symbolism in glee, and the color grading over the seasons because I am actually so passionate about it lol

There are Hetalia drawings on this blog from like 2011-2012… and those aren’t even my oldest ones of them, yikes.

Thank you for your kind words <3

Now about the Trey/Deuce comic…

Anonymous asked:

Trey: you will die if you don't have sex with me

Deuce: okay

Ahh, Deuce!! This is way too easy..!!

Anonymous asked:

Trey has forgotten that one can't tell jokes like that to duece, since he's a few eggs short of a full basket. And I say this as loving as possible

Trey always underestimates just how naïve Deuce can be around a senpai that he trusts, just as much as he underestimates how little people doubt shit that he says…

Anonymous asked:

Japan people like to eat raw egg right? Why Deuce blush!?

Yeah, people around the world do sometimes. Not by licking it from the table though! Deuce doesn’t even fully realise why, but it feels embarrassing somehow… I wonder why indeed…

Anonymous asked:

Don't waste food.

LICK IT

He’s on it! Like a good boy!

Anonymous asked:

Now Trey is wanting Deuce's tongue to be used other than getting the egg.

Should drop an egg on his own crotch next time then…

Anonymous asked:

Naive boy. That not the egg you should lick. There are 2 more with a sausage waiting for you.

Be careful, Anon, what if he bites the sausage… we can’t risk Trey’s well-being like that..!

Anonymous asked:

I love how you draw Trey 😩 he's so hot

Thank you so much, Anon!!

I don’t draw him often, but whenever I do, I try to keep in mind that people apparently find this man hot, so there should be some sexy air about him…

Anonymous asked:

I see you with those blush marks Trey.... Seeing Deuce lick off the table like a dog turned you on didn't it Trey......... It's okay Trey this is a safe place please tell us all about it 🥰

It certainly awakened something in Trey’s wicked mind…. He has much to think about after that…

Ok so... What's your story for what the rest of the crew was up to during the Broken Wing Job? Who were they after, what happened with the monkey, etc.

ooh this is such an interesting question!! i know i’m gonna give a ridiculously long answer and i’m just gonna have to apologise in advance. there’s a tl;dr in bold at the end! also, disclaimer that i understand it was just meant to be a noodle incident and i respect & enjoy the choice to never reveal what actually happened. the ambiguity and whatever your brain makes up is more fun than any canon answer for something like this. but theorising can be a lot of fun too and i love to piece together the info we DO get!!

well, what we do know about what happened:

sophie grifted a curator to get a statue of a golden monkey

they also needed an actual live monkey: a snow monkey/japanese macaque. which are fairly common in japan, so it’s like extra weird that they’re not stealing some rare or highly sought after animal yk?

eliot had to fight someone (standard tbh) but he seems to have had time to prepare, like either a private meeting turned south or an organised fight

somehow sophie seemed to be receiving a medal and hardison was dressed as though he was a decorated japanese soldier at the same event, also receiving some kind of honour.

sophie & nate burned something at the end, something that nate didn’t know if sophie would be comfortable burning.

eliot met emperor akihito, who didn’t want eliot around his granddaughter (seems like eliot flirted with her or she flirted with him, considering their reactions).

it’s in tokyo, japan - which is unusual for the team. the vast majority of their jobs happen in the US. when they go to other countries or interfere with international politics, it probably starts with a client in the US. eg the san lorenzo job happened bc they were already pursuing moreau, the stork job (in serbia) happened because of american adoptive parents, they interfere with another country’s politics in the scheherazade job bc of a journalist in the US, etc. so i think this probably somehow *started* with an american client and became international.

you made me go through john rogers’ blog to get more info, which is extremely evil of you because i always get sidetracked like 50 times on that blog and end up with a thousand new theories and character thoughts lmao. but from the blog:

VERY interesting information. in the rashomon job, the monkey statue is what eliot was supposed to "retrieve" from north korea for his client, and when he failed to do so, that client sent hitters after eliot and then made him steal the dagger of aqu’abi to make up for the statue. in the two horse job, a flashback to north korea in 2005 has people yelling at eliot "where’s the monkey?!", and since the rashomon job happened around 2005, that monkey is probably the same monkey statue. in other words, this goddam statue has been eluding eliot for YEARS. also, evidently, it must be very valuable and highly sought after.

unfortunately i can’t find the podcast but im thinking "money" makes a lot of sense and that maybe i don’t want to know what her answer was lol. anyway, somehow the con led to gaining cash that they felt it was best to destroy rather than give to the client or keep as "alternate revenue". i guess it was dirty money or perhaps just too easily traceable.

SO!

a US client somehow led to a job in japan where they got a valuable monkey statue and a real monkey, were awarded for something, fought someone, and then burnt a pile of money.

i’m gonna say the fact that there’s a real monkey and a monkey statue is not a coincidence… did they paint the real monkey gold and get it to attack someone who thought it was a statue?? did they claim the statue had come to life??

tl;dr - my best idea is that eliot heard through the grapevine that the statue that had been giving him trouble all those years had surfaced in japan. an old friend of eliot’s tells him that some Evil Guy TM (the episode’s mark) is trying to blackmail him & other retrieval specialists/thieves into retrieving it. the team decides that they will go undercover to steal it and put an end to the saga for good. so they all have to get cover identities and grift because they’d usually do a heist but parker is out. sophie eventually grifts her way into getting into whatever vault the statue is in, then they sell their mark the statue and are paid with lots of cash, they let the mark tell everyone he has the statue, then switch it with the real monkey to make the mark look like a liar or like he was imagining things etc. then they also expose tons of files on other Evil Guy stuff the mark has done.

the mark, however, is so high profile that he was in the same circles as the emperor, and the team had to meet him during the con. when the emperor hears that sophie(‘s alias) took down that Evil Guy who was exposed for lots of evil stuff, he awards sophie and hardison for their efforts. which is a whole thing, because obviously they’re now having to make sure their fake identities hold up under national/international scrutiny - classic "accidentally did so well that we caused ourselves more problems" leverage moment. somehow they pull that off successfully though.

i think the live monkey was released into the wild or returned to a sanctuary, cause i don’t think they’d harm an animal. i believe there’s a snow monkey animal park in japan, maybe it was released there? as for the monkey statue, it seems like it’s too dangerous to keep or even give to someone. like, eliot’s been attacked over it a couple times, you couldn’t give it to anyone who isn’t prepared to get into fights and be hunted down for it. maybe they placed it somewhere hidden in the animal park with the real monkeys.

um so yes this is ridiculously long now and i realise that it’s weird to like, cite sources on this fandom ask lol. but there you go! thanks so much for the question, i had a lot of fun trying to draw connections and figure it out!!

[dolorum-magne]

So I finally caved (haha get it? cause the boys live in a- yeah I’ll see myself out) and made a tlb oc lol

Meet Florian!

Florian is 19, and moved down to Santa Carla with money saved from his job, having saved up to move from his jobs town once he was out of high school. A couple friends of his had plans to move down here and while he hadn’t really heard much of the town before moving but he had always liked the beach so he took the chance for a fresh start and moved into a small 2 bedroom apartment with one of his friends.

Once he finally got unpacked he decided to have a look around the town, both looking for something to do around the area and for somewhere to work.

He’s seen some pretty cool people down on the boardwalk, and really thinks he’s going to like it here.

He’s a little jumpy at times, while he doesn’t particularly like confrontation, he knee-jerk reaction to any aggressive behaviour and will likely match the energy of whoever he’s talking to.

Not the most trusting person initially but it’s pretty easy to get him to open up. Relatively easy going, up for trying any activity or adventure, and genuinely enjoys meeting new people. He’s also for a bit of a sweet tooth.

some extra info:

Likes: Rain, most animals, alternative fashion, the beach, marine life, aquariums, bright colours.

Dislikes: very hot weather, aggressive behaviour, bright lights, large crowds, smoke, gasoline

Hobbies: going on walks, rollerblading, swimming, embroidery, reading, drawing, playing guitar.

The anon you answered who just wants everyone to chill out and live a better life —

Yeah, I knew. I was also a pro-endo who witnessed the… ever so eloquently named “cock gate” and spoke out about it. 🤦‍♀️

I’m happy to see a recent apology for those actions.

Maybe I was the only one out of the loop. LOL! Imagine if literally everybody knew that except me, just sitting here trying to figure out why this person I didn't know hated me so much all this time.

Your message did give off... Vibes... Of somebody who would be in the know. You know, the syscourse Illuminati. /Hj 😋

It does make all of their noble claims for this vendetta and their doc come off more as post-hoc rationalizations to me.

Prior to what they're calling "cock gate", they had sent in a friendly joke ask to this blog and I responded kindly.

Then a couple weeks later was when they started their dick gate, I tried to DM them to get them to rein it in a bit. Then they just double down so I made my callout post telling people to block them, and called them friendless and compared them to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

Realizing all of this, I also recall other things. It was THEN then that they started complaining about my influence over the pro-endo community. They made numerous posts about it over that period following my callout post of them.

And in the apology for their cock gate, they mentioned that a lot of that incident was spurred by a trauma response to things that were going on in their own life. With all of this added context, I can see how they might have a strong reaction to somebody who they used to like (at least enough to send asks to) coming out and saying all of those cruel things about them during a period where they were particularly vulnerable.

It actually explains why they are how they are, even to the point of being triggered by anybody who even reminds them of me. I wouldn't even be surprised if the connection of this incident being a trauma response also fueled the idea of me being an abuser in their mind, causing them to associate me with whatever abuse they were going through at the time.

But it also highlights just how ridiculously petty this entire thing has been.

Their entire grudge appears to be rooted in a callout post I made about them, telling people to block them for their behavior and how it was harming both the pro-endo and anti-endo communities.

The irony is so thick you would need a chainsaw to carve through it.

If I was a better person then I might use this newfound understanding to try to mend fences. But I'm not. Besides, I've already seen how they react to people trying to mend fences with the Nox incident. Understanding does not actually make me more sympathetic.

It was nice of them to finally apologize for the people they hurt through that incident. Even if it does just seem like it was build up to another attack against me and Nox, who they ended up causing to delete their syscourse blog.

I do wonder if they actually remember when it was that they started hating me. Do they actually believe themselves when they say that this is all about how "dangerous" I supposedly am? It would be fascinating to know the story they tell themselves in their own head to justify continuing this stupid vendetta.

[alevolpe]

What versions of Sailor Moon have you watched/read? As far as I'm aware you've watched the 90s anime but what about the manga, live action series, sm crystal and the musicals?

(Not asking this to be some kind of snob or anything, just curious, personally I have only read the manga and in the process of watching the anime)

Howdy! Don’t worry, I didn’t assume any snob intent from your question!

As much as I love sm, I’m far from a “sailor moon expert”.

I have only read/watched: the manga, the 90’s anime, only one and ironically (from what I heard) the worst musical ‘Last Dracul’ cause I’m that smart, the first 2 seasons of Crystal and only half watched season 3 and eternal (I skipped a lot and watched at 2.5 speed, I bet you can tell my thoughts on it lol).

I have no interest in watching Cosmos, sorry, it’s just not for me, along with most of the musicals tbh, but that’s mostly cause I hate musicals (it’s, by far, my least fav movie genre). Tho I will eventually watch Petite Entrangere, due to constant recommendations.

I also WANT to watch the live action series, since I heard amazing things from it and I’m p sure will result in being among the top of my fav sm things. I’m just sort of waiting for my expectations to lower before starting, just cause I see people legit being so passionate about it. I wanna go into it with as low expectations as possible cause I want to be impressed and I want to love it, rather than expecting it. (Also when I will eventually watch it, i will maybe do something fun around it! Maybe a live blog or even a live reaction with friends.)

[twc-thoughts-you-didnt-ask-for]

This is going to be a long massage and my English isn't so good, so pardon me.

First I gotta say I just saw and followed your blog tonight (but somehow managed to read your posts for the last 3 months I think) It's amazing how you know UB members so well like you're the writer, I can't even imagine myself there one day. I liked your posts (especially the one you said about M being totally perceptive towards the Detective. You know, the one Mishka said M wouldn't notice if the Detective didn't talk to M due to an argument, I totally agree with you there.)

So, to the question (I hope it isn't too cliché): How do you think UB would react if the Detective sacrifices themselves to save LI from mortal danger?

(Bonus: The danger being the Annunaki, and the Detective somehow takes down his protective barrier permanently, then dies smiling)

I’m so glad you like the blog and my answers! I do my absolute best to do these characters justice with all the comfort they’ve given me. You don’t want to go down the rabbit hole I have though to get here it’s a long, sad, hyperfixated journey lol

It’s no secret that thinking about the detective dying and UB’s reaction to that is my favorite flavor of ice cream so I may have answered this before but….

I think A would be able to go back to some kind of normalcy. Obviously they’re destroyed and traumatized by losing the detective, that was their soulmate, but A has lived a certain way for so long that I think they would go back to it. I see A keeping the detective’s memory like a little secret just for them and I don’t think they would ever want to talk about them on anyone else’s terms. I think A would only talk about the detective late and when the mood was right and maybe only with N. As for in the moment, it kind of depends on if they get one last moment with the detective before they take their last breath. I can only see A reacting with anger that the detective would do that and that anger wouldn’t even be all targeted at the detective but also A themselves for not doing enough of being enough to make it so the detective would never have to make that choice. Probably say things or phrase thing in a way they regret but don’t worry they’ll accidentally break something (other than their own heart) thinking about it later.

N is probably the one that hurts the most to think about and I feel like it’s heavily implied that the scenario of the detective sacrificing themselves period, let alone for N, actually destroys N as we know them so it’s so hard to say who they would be after. For some reason I’m getting the vibes that N turns into someone that a stranger can look at them and be like “That is a haunted man/woman” right away and I also for some reason see N starting to maladaptive daydream. I could see them thinking daydreaming about moments that will never come or seeing like the ghost of a memory whenever they pass by a bakery or something. Probably a lot of nudging and support from UB to keep them moving. In the moment, N would probably react to the detective’s sacrifice with denial. They didn’t just do that, that didn’t just happen, their breath and heart isn’t slowing, it just can’t be happening. If N gets to say anything to the detective before they go I think it would be panicked lies that N absolutely has themself believing that they’ll be just fine and to not fall asleep. Pretty promises are made to take them away from all this, leave it all behind, and take them somewhere where nothing can hurt them again if they just don’t close their eyes.

I feel like F would cope the best which isn’t saying a lot but I think they would. I also feel like they would honor the detective’s memory the best. I think whenever F would see things that reminded them of the detective they would have a sense of warmth and nostalgia rather than dread and would take any and every opportunity to talk about the detective to whomever would listen. Like people would be shocked to hear that the person F raves about is long gone because they would sound just as in love as they did before they lost the detective (please note this is also how I think N would be in the scenario that the detective died of old age, not by sacrificing themselves). F would probably have this feeling the the detective is always with them and some days are easier than others dealing with the fact they’re not. F can look back at memories and smile more than they’ll cry. The detective’s memory is one F tells sweetly and often. In the moment, I think F would also react to the detective’s sacrifice with denial. F has unwavering faith in the detective and sees them as so capable that it’s probably hard to fathom. I don’t know how much F would be able to say, choked by grief. F wants nothing more than someone to choose them, they just wish it would stop being like this.

M is also an owie because they lose more than their soulmate they also lose their personal little slice of peace. I think M won’t be much different to outsiders other than M remaining faithful to the detective (I don’t know if Sera has confirmed that but I’m 100% sure that’s what would happen) and continuing to not have one night stands or any physical relationships like they used to. Life would more or less be like it was before the detective and I think like A they wouldn’t want to talk about the detective to anyone (also like A, I think M would only let N try to). I think M would look at the stars even more trying to find the detective in them, maybe pause every time they see a hot chocolate or a carnival. The memories of the detective would burn but they would never let them go. If the detective is buried, I imagine they would always say this is the last time they’ll visit the gravesite so they can look at the stars with the detective one last time but it’s one of many “last time”s that they never follow through on. I think in the moment M reacts with anger and will tell the detective what they did was stupid. Ask them how could they. M is more put together than anyone else in these situations so I think they’re rapid fire trying to think of a solution. If the detective had expressed a desire to become a vampire I think desperation would make M (literally) bite to at least try even after they know the detective’s heart stopped.

A/N: traumatized

F: honored (in a way)

M: Angry/overwhelmed

A/N/M/F: trapped in an eternity of grief :)

[ticklishfiend]

um long irl tickle story because i’m tweaking out rn 😀

so i’ve got this friend who is also not Just A Friend and it’s complicated LMFAO anyways, we’ve done kink play stuff before so we know everything each other is into. obviously this means they know i’m real big into tickling fjskjf (which no, is not purely sexual for me lol. neither of us are very sexual people, kink isn’t always abt sex and i think more people in this community need that to register in their brains LOL)

ANYWAYYS so i dont think they know Just how into it i am, like they dont even know abt this blog but im slowly working up the courage to tell them abt it bc i know they wouldnt be weirded out (im just shy LOL). so bc they dont rlly know how big of a thing this is for me, they’ve never Really tickled me before.

now, i’ve tickled them. plenty actually lol. it’s super fun and i love tickling them sosososo much bc they’re reactions are so cute and they’re really good at holding still lol. but anytime they’ve tickled me, it’s mainly just like a poke here or a squeeze there, nothing for real yknow.

which is like. it’s fine. but every time they do it i get skyrocketed into the biggest lee mood for like days on end and usually i get too embarrassed to tell them dhsjndjsg

but the other day i actually decided to tell them how much it affected me. we had both spent the night at a friends house, and at every sleepover when its time for bed, our other friend goes to her room and then its just the two of us alone in the living room. we were high the other night and cuddling, and they kept teasing me by making claw hands and wiggling their fingers at me (i’ve told them before it flusters me So Bad when they do it and now they’re just relentless with it 😭😭), they poked me a few times like usual but also kept quickly skittering their fingers on my foot which they’ve never done before and dhsjjdjdf i was too high i was losing my mind

so that was it, but the next day when i got home i texted them telling them they were so evil for that bc now im feeling crazy. they found that hilarious and teased me abt it for a minute 😭 so i thought that was the end of it bc they rarely tease me too much (im mainly the dom in our relationship so i can understand why lol)

but then. but then.

my friend group went hiking all day today, so when we got back to my friends house we were pretty beat. me and my friend were cuddling on the couch watching tv, but they just kept. poking. me. i felt crazy LMFAO

so ofc bc im me, i was tickling back! i’m more deliberate with my tickles, so i kept squeezing their side and poking places i know they’re ticklish at. they ofc kept making wiggly hands at me, but atp im like so lee and it’s not enough 😭

so. i called them a coward! (teasingly, ofc). i didn’t get specific cause our other friends were right there and id rather they not know abt it LMAO but this main friend knew what i was talking about. they were playing all offended, trying to defend themselves, but they kept not actually tickling me so ofc i kept calling them a coward hehehe

so later tonight once we were at our own houses, we text each other almost immediately. ofc because i was feeling super lee after all that i told them i was (playfully) mad at them for teasing me earlier

they started defending themself again saying they aren’t a coward, so i texted back with “always threatening but never actually does anything about it 🥱 coward behavior to me”

they texted back with “when i come over tmrrw its over. im gonna get you”

😨 WHAAAATRTSJS

AAAAHHHHHH

i was. freaking out LMFAOOO

they kept teasing me back and forth about it and i am STILL losing my mind and that was hours ago 😭😭

we’re hanging out tmrrw night and yall. yall idk if i can HANDLE ITFNFKD we’re spending the night like we always do so once we’re alone and ALSO HIGH AGAIN………bitch i can’t my stomach just turned a flip thinking about it omfg

anyways yeah sorry i know this was long but this little back and forth on “will they ever actually tickle me” has been going on for almost a YEAR now so im justifiably freaking out abt it LMFAOO

i’m also taking my driving test for my license tmrrw before we hang out so let’s hope i don’t start thinking abt tickles and crash the car 👍
