Varian for sure has homeschool trauma. Quirin pulled him out of school because “it’s what’s best for him” and now Varian has no idea how to socialize and has crippling loneliness and attachment issues. Why do you think he became best friends with Rapunzel and Cass immediately?
Like I love Quirin but you can’t convince me he didn’t just let Varian stay in his lab 24/7 and think “yup my kids going to come out so well-adjusted.”
#I’m great at headcanons#It fits okay#Im not projecting lol nope#I hope this doesn’t come off as Quirin bashing I love him but he’s also literally just the cartoon version of my dad but more competent so#I have *thoughts*#tts#tangled the series#rapunzel's tangled adventure#varian#tts quirin#quirin tangled

chu, i'm going to cry 'cause listen what just popped up in my brain;
le satoru waking up from his deep slumber because all of a sudden he can't breathe, and then he realizes that it's his little one sitting on his face, butt right on top of his nose and mouth.
turns out, our baby boy just wanted to sleep with his papa, which is an almost rare occurrence considering the fact that he is a mama's boy.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
- 🪷 (have a great day/noon/evening/night, love!)
suddenly it’s hard to breathe, and it smells too—!
satoru wakes up with a jerk and total fright as his breathing way is blocked off. it took him exactly one second to figure out that it is, in fact, his crawling baby’s butt and diapers right in his face.
“—!” he immediately snatches him and picks him off his face. “my god, you just sat on me! and— did you poop… on me?!”
the babbling baby looks up to him with total innocence, not even comprehending that his papa is so aghast at his antics.
“how could you?! only your mama is permitted to sit on my face,” he grumbles, levelling a disbelief stare on his own progeny. this kid… his rebelliousness must be from you.
baby puckers his lips, before crawling closer and nuzzles his face into his body.
“oh you…” satoru’s horror of being pooped on dissipates that instant when he realizes his mini-him is actually seeking comfort. he pats his little back, feeling so full and giddy, all his grumbles forgotten. “ahh!! you’re so adorable, come— come to papa!”
in the end, after he changes his diapers and washes his own face (because honestly… for such a small thing, his baby does smell) he pulls him closer, and chomps his face playfully.
“it’s only when mama is out that you come to me…” he sullenly accuses as his baby looks at him with total wonder. “you’re playing favorites! hmph!”
“bwa.”
“what? you want to sleep with me, don’t you?”
“mwa.”
“hmph noted. let’s sleep together~”
#i could’ve sworn i’ve seen a reels video of a baby sitting on his father’s face too i’m crying :’)#lotus nonnieee i hope you have a great day too!!!🩵#—chu’s mailbox 📬#💌: 🪷#—headcanons☁️#𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠#gojo x reader

color having a splitting headache and dying on the floor
I’m projecting again but color content is color content 🙏
Color belongs to superyoumna
I actually have some headcanons to go with this
First aval, I think when he’s overwhelmed his flames get rlly hot and hurt his head and it causes headaches, but I also think the flames start to seep out of his other eye kind of like tears and he can’t see very well bcz of it :3 (it could also come out of his mouth too)
it also seeps out of other cracks in his body so it’s like a burning sensation everywhere and it makes overstimulation worse 💗
atp he and killer have something in common coughs

“Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)” from Steven Universe works so ridiculously well for Leo
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rottmnt leo#rise leo#listen it’s morning now and I haven’t slept so bear with me for the sudden unwarranted lyric analysis haha#a lotttt of the lyrics work so well for him#not even just the overall theme the words just work great#first lyric is literally ‘I can’t help it if I make a scene’ which is one to one with ‘Leo’s makin a scene’ from the rottmnt opening like-#‘I’m turning heads and I’m stopping traffic’ -> Leo has not made it a secret that he values his looks a LOT#-not just his looks but also his ability to get people’s attention#‘when I pose they scream when I joke they laugh’ -> I feel like this speaks for itself#-posing and joking for the crowd and himself#‘I’ve got them dazzled like a stage magician’ -> works both with Leo’s canonical love of magicians and his aptitude with tricks in general#‘well everybody needs a friend and I’ve got you and you and you’ -> I just think it’d be cute to imagine his friends here just as his bros#‘I got you and you and you’ = ‘my brainy guy my smashing guy and eats peanut butter with his fingers guy’#‘haven’t you noticed that I’m a star?’ -> Leo loves attention and especially loves when his feats and efforts are acknowledged#+ he loves glam rock and sci-fi and being a champ and - listen he has a LOT of star symbolism with him#‘haven’t you noticed I made it this far’ - Leo is well aware of how dangerous situations get and thinks himself only a part of a whole#-so hey it’s notable that he’s survived this long yeah?#‘now everyone can see me burning’ -> self-sacrificing with his family bearing witness + all his star and flame symbolism in general#+ how attention naturally goes to him - including bad attention where his mistakes are highlighted and burn bright#also even the limo lyric-#obviously this boy has never and will never own a limo but one of his main secondary colors IS pink so even that#okay that one is just a joke but he would#(on that note though I think the other colors the boys gravitate to outside THEIR color are fun to notice)#I don’t actually know too much about Steven universe beyond the songs and some eps but I like the music#and this just came to my tired mind so here you go anyone who’s interested#may draw something with these lyrics dunno yet#it’s a good song in any case even though it’s super short

listen as much as i would have loved more romance in the yangchen novels i have to say it is extremely iconic of f.c yee to write a set of novels where the sapphic relationship is an undeniable, major plot point and then write another set of novels where the straight relationship is left up to interpretation
#this is also great for aspec yangchen headcanons#i’m personally fond of aroflux + demisexual yangchen#but anyway. fc yee you icon#kyoshi novels#yangchen novels#the rise of kyoshi#the shadow of kyoshi#the dawn of yangchen#the legacy of yangchen#rangshi#yangvik#avatar kyoshi#avatar yangchen#kyoshi x rangi#yangchen x kavik#ALSO (editing later) gotta add that i say ‘more romance’ lightly#because i found yangchen and kavik’s relationship to be extremely compelling in both a romantic and platonic sense#even without them displaying traditional ‘romantic’ interactions#i’m obsessed with how you have to read between the lines for them#chronicles of the avatar

Early Appalachian frontiersman Alfred in buckskin circa 1790- 1810s. I’m trying to figure out how to paint like NC Wyeth digitally (so lol the background is Wyeth’s).
Gonna ramble a bit about my nor’easter au and Alfred below the cut
Following the American Revolution, Alfred is immediately sent out to squash any rebellions (like whiskey rebellion) and to partake in wars against Indigenous nations like the Cherokee. I’ll save a discussion about the Cherokee wars for another time because that’ll take a long time to explain + I’m still working on my Cherokee oc and I need to understand Cherokee history and perspective more before I go forward with talking about this topic.
Now the many of the east coast states are older than Alfred, and they mostly supported him during the revolution because they thought he’d be easy to control given at the time of the revolution he wasn’t tied down as any colony or city. However, he was a New Englander and very obviously so
He was once Plymouth colony and he grew up alongside his cousin Henry/Massachusetts, but by the time the revolution occurred, his status was unclear and he was simply living with his cousin (who’s his earliest and most fierce supporter) .
These states operated like countries and part of why the had the revolution was to continue to self-govern and maintain their regional cultures. It’s also part of why the federal government initially was rather weak. Given Alfred’s closeness to his cousin, and his very staunch New England identity, I think the states would be hesitant over a strong New England national control. And so I think they especially Jennie/NY & Rich/Virginia encouraged Alfred to leave his cousin for a while, and partake in military campaigns (+ he was good at battle).
Also Alfred was like 14, and I don’t think he’s ever been the type to sit down and do paperwork. Honestly he was always a bad student, who was far more interested in the outdoors, horses, sailing and hunting. While he won the war, and he was fine with being head of state, he still didn’t 1) have confidence in himself to make non-military related decisions 2) he just wasn’t mentally ready to take on the responsibilities and was fine deferring it to his states like Jennie, Rich, or Henry to figure out matters that weren’t military related. He was irresponsible and it would come back to bite him in the ass during the Civil War.
Alfred on a personal level it was probably good for him to get away from his overly critical cousin who can be overbearing, but also so he would get more experience to deeply get to know his states.
Also Alfred, growing up in New England, he was a little ball of rage as a kid and he has a difficult time managing his emotions. He wasn’t exactly the personable seemingly fun loving Alfred of the present. Not that he couldn’t crack a joke, but ok I’m not from New England, but in the northeast I find we’re rather cynical, un-filtered and sarcastic and tbh kind of asssholes in the way we have fun and in our humor. That’s how he was, which is like fine unless you’re trying to appeal to the rest of the nation lol which he would have to
I think his time spent in Appalachia and the south did help him learn more about his other states especially Maisie/ North Carolina. But also helped him learn more how to let go some of this intense New England rage, and how to better control his emotions. But also let loose in a way that isn’t so dark and cynical. Also I think this helped him slowly learn how to speak with less of a New England specific accent
He was also able to observe states like Rich and Carl/ South Carolina and gain an understanding of how being able to control your emotions, can help control your image and how others perceive you. So these are the origins of how he slowly began to shape and become at least in public this overly friendly happy go lucky Alfred.
I’ll save a discussion about his interactions with the Appalachian states more explicitly another time I’m just tired😴 fr rn

Considering that the Great 7 are ghosts means that Yuu is very touch starved. Sure, Yuu likely had friends or acquaintances from their word, but they’ve never had the true feeling of the warm, loving embrace of their parents. Even if they have, it was only a ghost of what could’ve been. All they can do is take it with a sad smile, knowing that no matter how hard they try, they can’t return that love.
Sure, it hurts, but it's a sad truth they’ve gotten used to.
That being said, the first time that one of the first-year gang hugs or puts an arm over their shoulder, Yuu looks at them with an almost… confused expression. Unused to the warmth of another’s touch, they freeze, unsure what to do or say.

Bucky likes sweet smells like vanilla and rose and almond and Steve likes smells like orange and cinnamon and pine.
Bucky loves doing yoga and he even bought a little mat for Alpine to lay on next to him while he does yoga because she always tries to lay with him when he’s stretching.
Steve and Bucky order takeout every Friday and compete to see who can choose the worst, cringiest, corniest, most god-awful rom coms. Steve likes Thai and Bucky likes Chinese takeout.
Steve likes to pretend he doesn’t like Alpine, but she absolutely has him wrapped around her little paw. Bucky constantly hears Steve doting over her from the other room and pretends not to hear.
Steve and Bucky hung up string lights for the holidays and never took them down because alpine became obsessed with them.
Bucky loves the aquarium. He goes at least monthly, if not more.
Steve grows out his beard specifically because he knows Bucky likes the feeling and look of the stubble. He always denies that he does it on purpose, though, which aggravates the shit out of Bucky (until they make out and Bucky forgets all about it).
Bucky is absolutely obsessed with touching Steve. His hands are constantly rubbing Steve’s shoulder, playing with his hair, he presses his side fully against Steve’s when they’re sitting next to each other, he intertwines their legs under the table, he wraps his hand around Steve’s forearm when Steve is driving.

Extremely rambling Mythal thoughts below. Spoiler alert: it’s not pretty.
Major endgame Veilguard spoilers below the cut.
@weptlore broke me with that one post and I’m basically riffing off of it because I’m emo. Tl;dr fuck Mythal.
First though, you will never catch me saying that Solas isn’t culpable, because he absolutely is. His ‘best’ ending is properly atonement, not redemption. He was faced with choice after choice whether or not to do terrible things and he folded every time she asked - save one - despite his better judgment. His choices in the Dragon Age are his, even as they’re motivated by his desire to make the world he thinks Mythal wanted. He needs to be held accountable for the things he messed up instead of running from them to do a full system reboot on the world. He says that thousands will die from the Veil coming down, but then ‘flowers would grow.’ That self-serving justification does not excuse the colossal loss of innocent life he’s prepared to take. Yes, I believe Varric and the Inquisitor that he doesn’t really want to do it and is looking for someone to sell him a better option. But he was still gonna do it, right up to the end.
But to ignore how royally Mythal fucked him up and manipulated him at every step does him a disservice. She strong-armed him into a parallel of a binding. She chipped away at who he was so thoroughly that it twisted him into the thing he is now. She even admits that what she did to him broke him. All new and faded for her indeed, in the worst way imaginable.
She cared about his usefulness. Her disingenuous ‘I need your wisdom’ morphs into the more honest ‘I used your wisdom as a weapon.’ Yeah she calls Solas ‘love’ and says ‘I always come when my friends need me,’ but it’s gaslighty as shit. No wonder she jived with Flemeth. They’re singing the same song. And when he finally didn’t toe her terrible line she turned on him and called it a betrayal. Elgar’nan said she considered Solas insubordinate and unmanageable, and we don’t even know whether that estimation was before or after he rebelled (I recognize Elgar’nan’s not a great source and was trying to get under Solas’ skin, but the truth hurts more than a lie. Given what we know of her, I buy it).
And now where are we? Back at square one and somehow she’s the one to sell him that better story and convince him to do the same damn thing again. ‘I release you from your service’ as long as you immediately bind yourself again.
To ignore the tragedy of his ultimate fate isn’t fair. He needs to atone but my god is it a tragic end for him. The one thing in the world Solas wants is freedom, and it’s the one thing he’ll never get. What was it Elgar’nan said? ‘As much as freedom is beyond your grasp.’ He was more right than he intended.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I would take questions but I need to go backstage and scream.
#can I make a headcanon that isn’t 25% swear words? no I cannot#not when it comes to Mythal that’s for damn sure#veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#datv spoilers#dav spoilers#this is a rant on one aspect of his life#I will be doing a better post on his actions before and during the rebellion bc they’re not great lol#but it’s critical and I’m not remotely sorry

Do y’all ever think about how Vegeta’s only ever mad at Freeza for what happened to his planet and he’s never mad at Freeza for what happened to him because I think about that a lot
#Like I think the anime portrays their relationship as much more abusive but Toriyama seemed to be consistent in the implication that#Freeza treated Vegeta VERY well — even Vegeta talks about his time on the frontline being voluntary and the only time he talks about being#“Worked like a slave” is to describe how Zarbon treated him. In the manga Vegeta implies Freeza usually refers to him with fond greetings#‘my dear’s and the like. Freeza was so quick to offer him a promotion in ResF and coo about Geets’ loyalty — which I think about a lot#as well — especially in terms of how totally fine Vegeta used to be with killing other saiyans but that’s another essay#Point is. I’m a huge fan of gilded cage theory. Not quite Mother Gothel levels like they’re a corporate military but I do always describe#Geets as Freeza’s favorite wardog and I think a big part of the culture shock for Vegeta having healthy relationships with people is#The idea that relationships do not have to be transactional with value based on performance — because if Freeza was always fond of Geets#In the way that King Cold is fond of Freeza (which seems true based on Freeza offering Goku Vegeta’s job right after he dies iirc) then it#For all the fucked up things that it is — was the most supportive relationship Vegeta had up until Bulma (or Gohan). At least from someone#who wasn’t dependent on him like Raditz and Nappa were — which loops back into transactional dynamics even if/though they were sincere.#What I’m saying is#The learning curve was so steep for this man and he still (hesitantly) took the offer to borrow some climbing gear and get to work#And I love him your honor what a great character#dbtag#headcanons

What about Sevika edging the Reader with her mech hand by turning off the vibrate function every time the Reader gets close to climaxing?
god yes😵💫
: ̗̀➛ sevika enjoys edging you maybe a little too much. keeping you teetering on the edge, knowing you’re gonna continue to beg and plead with her to just let you come already.
: ̗̀➛ she knows you enjoy being edged to your limits, otherwise she wouldn’t continuously do it.
: ̗̀➛ she likes edging you the most with her mech hand and loves watching you fall apart every time the vibrations you desperately crave stops over and over again.
: ̗̀➛ she’ll fuck you with the strap and circle your clit with her mech fingers, the vibrations being just enough to send you over the edge but she stops completely when she sees your eyes starting to roll back. her fingers are off your clit in a second, the vibrations stop, her thrusts cease, and you’re a begging, whimpering, moaning mess underneath her.
: ̗̀➛ it’s exactly how she wants you.
: ̗̀➛ during a punishment, sevika’s even purposely allowed you to come by her mech hand, just to stop the vibrations entirely while you’re in the middle of cumming. she’ll watch as your body still convulses through your somewhat ruined orgasm. you’ll beg her to touch you again, claw at her hand to try and bring it closer to let you come fully this time. she’ll turn the vibrations back on for second, half a second, just barely enough time for you to register that she turned it back on just for her to stop it again, chuckling at you when she sees tears prickling at your eyes and asks you “have you leaned your lesson?”
: ̗̀➛ her responses to you begging her consists of:
“you’re being such a good girl for me though”
“just a little longer, baby doll, you can take it”
“you sound too pretty for me to stop”
: ̗̀➛ she’ll definitely edge you for hours on end, throughout the day, just anytime she can get her hands on you.
: ̗̀➛ waking up to the low rumble between your legs. she’ll wait until you’re almost fully awake and moaning into her before she turns off the vibrations and says she has to get ready for work, leaving you knowing what you’re probably in for that day.
: ̗̀➛ you knew you weren’t allowed to touch yourself cause if she found out, the edging would continue into the next day most likely. you learned your lesson after that happened only once, even if it was the hardest you’ve ever came.
: ̗̀➛ you never knew when she was finally gonna allow you to come, whether it be after a couple minutes of edging, a couple hours, even a whole day. yet somehow it was always a surprise when she did.
: ̗̀➛ when you're out in public and she's playing cards, you’re either in her lap or just sitting beside her. her mech hand will be resting on the outside of your pants, cupping your heat or completely down your pants, letting you feel the cold metal that you love, coated in your arousal. she made sure you were always covered by her cape in these situations.
: ̗̀➛ again, you never knew when she would let you come.
: ̗̀➛ she would get closer to your ear when the other guys at the table were occupied with their cards and talking to each other. "what's the matter, baby?"
: ̗̀➛ you didn't speak out of fear of moaning too loud. "what's that? i thought you wanted to come? i know you don't want me to stop so you can quit looking at me like that." your wide eyes shut but your breathing stayed quick.
: ̗̀➛ she went back to her card game and you gripped onto the side of her cape. you turned your head so you weren't facing everyone. since you were covered by her cape, you started feeling her mech hand, trying to find that little button that could stop you from cumming.
: ̗̀➛ sevika could sense what you were doing and upped the speed of the vibrations, obviously as a warning and when you jumped, she held it there for a moment before lowering it back down to its original setting.
: ̗̀➛ now she didn’t have to use said button, she could control the vibrations just like any other part of her arm. the button was there for you to use, when you were allowed to anyways. to set the speed yourself and make yourself come as slow or as fast as you wanted.
: ̗̀➛ you didn’t think she would let, or make, you come, let alone at the fucking playing table with people around, who were completely oblivious to what was happening because of the music that was playing and the fact they were so focused on trying to beat sevika at her own game.
: ̗̀➛ you felt yourself starting to shake, the arousal pooling in you growing more and more. there was a slight relief you felt when the vibrations didn’t stop when your eyes started rolling back, probably because she couldn’t see your face but she could definitely feel you shaking.
: ̗̀➛ normally she would’ve stopped by now, you thought she was going to. of course, though, you shouldn’t have trusted it.
: ̗̀➛ your hand gripped onto her thigh, your nails digging into her pants. she seemed completely unbothered but focused on what was happening, both with her card game and with you.
: ̗̀➛ you felt yourself almost at the edge, you were almost there, trying not to moan out loud. at that point you didn’t care if you came all over her hand in front of whoever it was she was playing against, you just wanted to fucking come. but you didn’t.
: ̗̀➛ sevika knew your body all to well to know when you were just about to get the release you wanted because the vibrations stopped. your thighs closed tightly around her hand, trying to force yourself not to grind your pulsing cunt against her fingers. your body slumped against her side, trying to slow your breathing and not curse her out for that.
: ̗̀➛ even though she didn’t allow you to come, she looked down at you, grinning, knowing you still drenched her metal completely.

Keep the aroace positivity flowing (day 7):
(2nd try)
Who’s your favorite aro/ace/aroace-coded fictional character? 🧡💛🤍🩵💙
It doesn’t matter if it’s canon or headcanon, anything.
My answer: I’ve been watching The Great Gatsby (movie) lately and I think the depiction of Nick Carraway by Tobey Maguire is kind of aroace-coded? But just specifically in the movie. Idk, It’s canon in my head :).
#asexual spectrum#asexual#asexuality#acespec#asexual pride#aceandproud#aroace#arospec#aromantic pride#aromantic spectrum#aromantic#aromantism#aroacespec#share with your aroacespec friends#the great gatsby movie#the great gatsby#aro positivity#ace positivity#aroace positivity#If you’ve read so far I send you good vibes and a pat-pat on the head#I wanna hear your weird headcanons#if you like these kind of posts I’m glad#ill keep doing this until i feel happy again#keep the positivity flowing!

Thinking about the Don Suave scene and what it means in terms of LGBTQ+ representation because my brain does nothing if not torment me with random topics to ramble about on the regular.
Anyway, I just wanted to ramble about why I like the scene but to get it out of the way - the scene can very easily be interpreted in so many different ways, and all of them are valid. I personally see it as Leo having at least some attraction to a man. And the following is an explanation of my own interpretation and thoughts on it and what it means especially for Leo’s portrayal in the grand scheme of things.
Long-winded interpretation under the cut!
Now, to start with, it’s important to me that in the scene Leo looks at Don Suave in the very beginning and then for the entirety of the rest of the time the man is on screen, Leo’s eyes are closed. Yet, in the end, he is still visibly enamored with Don Suave, happily cuddling up to him as he’s being carried away.
You can very easily interpret this as Leo being spellbound and that’s honestly super valid and I believe he likely was at least somewhat in the beginning, but considering how fast he looked away and how he never looked again, I personally think it makes more sense to read it as Leo just finding the man attractive, at least somewhat. (For the record, I personally headcanon Rise Leo as bisexual with a heavy preference for men, but I want to be blunt when I say that any interpretation is valid. Literally any. Ace, pan, gay, bi, none of the above or a mixture of something new literally all of it is more than okay and fair. Hell you could even interpret this entire scene as more romantic attraction than physical and it would still work. Anything goes!! Don’t bother people, guys, really.)
The main reason I take this scene to be at the very least LGBTQ+ adjacent isn’t just because of how it’s portrayed, but because of who Leonardo is. Not in terms of Rise of the TMNT, but in terms of the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™️ franchise.
Leo’s a character who, while changing with each iteration, has still at his core been around for decades upon decades as “the blue one”. One fourth of the team. He’s the one most are going to look at as the Leader, and oftentimes he is the one closest to having the title of Main Character. Not to say the others aren’t just as important, but Leo’s presence in the A plots of basically all TMNT media is often something very main character-esque.
And that’s very, very important to note. Here we have a Main Character of a prolific and decades long-running franchise distributed by a children’s television network. You can play around with his and his brothers’ characters all you like, but there is always going to be challenges to dodge around, especially since this was still in 2018-2019.
For example, you can play around with their designs so long as they’re color coded turtles, but their sexualities? Now that’s tricky.
“But what about Hypno and Warren?” Not main characters and also they’re Rise originals. They have a lot more room to play around with than a character like Leo does. But even talking about main characters in the franchise, you could arguably have an easier time playing around with Donnie or Mikey’s sexualities than Leo or even Raph, as (unfortunately) the former two tend to get more B plots, so they’d likely have had a little more leeway (still not a lot though.)
So, where does this leave us?
It leaves us in a place where outright stating and/or showing undeniable proof of Leo’s attraction to men is very, very difficult. So, workarounds!
Workarounds like the entire Don Suave situation.
To be honest, as left up to interpretation and lowkey and deniable as it is, this whole scene means a lot to me because of who Leo is as a character. It’s just nice when we get so see even the bare bones of representation with characters that have been such a large part of pop culture for decades, y’know? Even if more would be so much nicer, this is better than I thought we’d ever get for these boys.
And, again, literally nothing I’ve said is the only way to interpret it, I’m more than happy when people interpret media on their own honestly, it’s just something I’ve been thinking of lately and I was wondering if others felt the same way.
Whatever you think when you interpret this scene or Rise Leo as a whole, I just thought this would be interesting to think about, even if it was ramble-y, haha.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rise don suave#rottmnt don suave#I lied I’m back to ramble because I’m just#so bad at keeping my mouth shut#or uh#not typing word vomit#anyway- yeah this is my personal interpretation#I believe Leo was legitimately mesmerized by Don Suave’s powers…in the beginning#but even the series’ creator says it was ‘at least PART of what was going on with Leo’ so#idk it’s something that’s been on my mind and I was wondering if anyone else felt the same??#may delete this later who knowssss#pleaaaase feel free to disagree I just like to talk lol#but yeah sometimes I look around at how much media has LGBTQ+ rep in it now and it honestly makes me emotional??#(we always always ALWAYS could use more but)#we did not have even a crumb of this as kids#but also like most of that rep is new properties#and I just was thinking about what that could mean#idk man idk#once again please don’t take this as facts it is VERY MUCH NOT#man I was looking around for good images to use and found jack all#anyway tho did you know Donnie often has bi colors around him and Leo is often dressed in the colors of the trans flag-#okay anyway back to the caves I go this comic won’t draw itself#I gotta spray myself with water any time I go to type long winded essays because they’re not great for the mental health fr
