Being constantly surrounded by the presence of a loving God sounds great until you realize you never know when his freaky fuckin eyes are gonna show up to check on you.
And man. They do it a LOT.
#primus please let the mech breathe#what i want to emphasize most with this iteration of optimus is the inherent fucking terror of being made a prime#really pick at those little threads of how fucked the matrix as a concept is. same with the staple tropes of op himself#the idea in tfp that it can entirely change your personality. and that if you lose it you cannot remember your time with it#those implications send me spiraling. to what degree is optimus the same being as orion pax? do you forfeit your soul to be a demigod?#do you fucking die to become a conduit for the higher being that made you? letting it puppet your mind and body like a parasitoid?#if death in transformers is simply rejoining the allspark; if the soul is something splintered off from the whole;#and if to die as a cybertronian is for that fragment to merge with the whole once again. is a prime not fundamentally a dead mech walking?#a prime stands with one pede in the afterlife and one in the land of the living and has to keep up with both at once#constantly seeing visions from a plane his processor was never meant to comprehend with optics that were never built to see it#forced to adapt into an elevated being as much as a frame that still has silly things like wants and needs and emotions and base coding can#how does a mortal live when his body is no longer just his body; but a vessel fir something holy and a tool fashioned to heal the world?#when he can never truly be alone again and he has to simply live with the ever present knowledge that he is being watched#both by his god and by the world#how does one live knowing not even their thoughts are private? when your god may be living but man he does not get the idea of boundaries#guess it must be hard to grasp personal space and all that when youre an ocean of souls that left it behind#maccadam#transformers#wayward sparks#optimus prime#art tag#sometimes i feel kinda bad for putting this bastard through The Horrors. if ws gets made all the way he will be thrown so many bones#only sometimes tho >:3

I’ve gone on and on about how Leo wants to be who Splinter finds is the ideal person (which just so happens to be Splinter’s ideal version of himself) but I have yet to really touch upon how Donnie is the one who most directly parallels Splinter himself to an honestly shocking degree, Raph’s taking from Splinter’s teachings and parenting has resulted in an unhealthy mixup in the different dynamics of a family versus a team, and Mikey is the one who is simultaneously the most focused on family and the most intrinsically himself which both leads to his better grasp of mystics and honestly what just might be the healthiest dynamic with Splinter.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#it’s late so I’m just speaking from the top of my head haha#anyway yeah#the Donnie Splinter parallels are crazyyy tho#I always see ppl say Leo is just like splinter but no Leo WANTS to be like splinter but he’s more a Karai#meanwhile Donnie exhibits many of Splinter’s traits and behaviors#basically Leo has taken on many perceived Lou Jitsu attributes#including his stance his most flaunted skills and his overall demeanor#while honestly being more of a quiet and determined soul at his core that is most like Karai - with the same hope and love for family#we see the more Karai aspects of Leo throughout the series but most blatantly with Future Leo’s portrayal and how Casey Jr talks about him#Donnie though - rather than Lou Jitsu he has many Hamato Yoshi attributes#it’s funny too because Donnie ALSO parallels Draxum in many ways#(you know who else does albeit to a much lighter extent? Mikey)#make no mistake I super wanna get into Raph having a hard time separating team and family and just sorta jumbling them together#but that mindset can be unhealthy!#SHOULD I GET INTO HOW RAPH ALSO PARALLELS HAMATO SHO IN SOME WAYS AS WELL AS ATSUKO#not to mention his direct parallels to OROKU SAKI HIMSELF#and Mikey - I actuallly have a touched briefly upon how his individuality and sense of self has led to his greater control of mystics#but I do think it’s interesting that he has arguably a more healthy relationship with splinter than the others as well?#idk it’s late#and I may be talking about nonsense BUT#I gotta stop here bc I’m very sleepy but I’ll probably be back in these tags rambling more later lol#would just like to add that splinter loves them all very much he is just a flawed and depressed man with a lot of untapped trauma#which unfortunately ends up affecting his boys to different degrees

“The Bo-Staff”
Some angst based off my Ninjago redesign! There’s a reason why I gave Zane a bo-staff from the start and if you’re interested in reading it, proceed to the tags cause I’m too embarassed to do it in captions lmao (Spoiler- it has something to do with the Ice Emperor)
#ninjago#ninjago fanart#zane julien#ninjago zane#ice emperor#ninjago ice emperor#doodle#fanart#drawing#art#artsy ari#((I got some story behind Zane with a bo-staff too so prepare to read me ranting in the tags cause I'm too shy to rant in caption))#((The quote I stole from TMNT 2012 when Splinter gave Donnie the staff and I thought ok now put Wu and Zane in that position))#((Contrary to popular belief- Zane very rarely breaks his staff and even if he did it's cause his opponent breaks it. He never breaks it))#((The Element of Ice is associated with 'thoughtful soul and peaceful heart' and the bo-staff. a sensitive weapon. is their main thing))#((According to Wu. No Ice Elemental Master ever broke their staff because of their famous patience and sensitive kindness))#((Zane is the first one to break it with his own hands. Lingering frustrations led him to hold it too rough and while sparring broke it))#((When he was the Ice Emperor holding the scroll- he had no thought of his grip on the staff and it lingers for awhile))#((After being brought back he might've left behind the Ice Emperor but he becomes more impatient and he's easily agitated))#((The first few weeks were rough. 5 days after returning from the Never Realm the group thought it would be a good idea for a spar))#((He's wielding a glorified stick. he's losing. he gets frustrated. held the staff too hard and hit Kai until it fucking snaps in half))#((That's basically it lmao))

mashing together my two teenage years interests for dopamine
#johndirk#dirkjohn#homestuck#john egbert#dirk strider#my art#touhoustuck#just a funny little au because some of the parallels and ways character powers reflect eachother is fun#john is in no way as manipulative or a mastermind as yukari but his retcon powers are a very interesting vessel for yukaris gap powers#especially when his hand stuck out in a bunch of pages lol i like to imagine if he could master the powers it would let him do her teleport#around and spy nonsense but he'd just use it to be a class a prankster and for magic tricks#on the other hand yuyuko and dirk have an interesting parallel but one that is more like...the entire point is the culmination of#their characters despite the way they have these splinters. like yuyuko isnt nearly as fragmented as dirk but#theres a distinction between the yuyuko who was alive and the yuyuko whos dead and what she becomes after#its unclear if post PCB shes aware shes the one who sealed the saigyouji ayakashi away but she also just thinks its better for her#not to go down that rabbithole. she'd probably become worse if she did and with dirk he has that clarity with dave when they talk that like#even if there are worse versions of him out there. the fact he thinks and stops before proceeding separates him and i like to think that#is something he takes to heart with him post canon to stop beating himself up so much. umh also soul powers = ghost powers lalala#just silly and self indulgent tbh like im not extrapolating or translating backstories but in this au its fun to think o#humans turning into youkai like yukari used to be human and so did yuyuko. john and dirk used to be human and went godtier...anyways

not to bring up mass effect but that’s one of the most interesting things it ever posited when it came to the idea of organic vs artificial intelligence. a machine, if sentient, knows who created it and why it was created. and a person will never know that. like, even lacking spirituality, even if you ascribe all this to random cause-and-effect, that doesn’t actually get you any closer to understanding why there is a you. but a robot can look their creator in the eye, can read out the whole of its purpose, and know that no matter what it modifies, this is what it was made to be. and what if it was made limited, or flawed, or shackled. there are elements of that a person can relate to, maybe understand, but not all of it, not enough to fathom how different the experience of the world is when you have no questions about your origins.
#also not to talk about mass effect but this is whyyy i love the geth so much. it feels like this would be something you could easily take#in a cold and logical direction because of this whole. lack of questions.#but the geth are so brimming with this sort of. faith. you know? its written into every way they’re referred to. they call the reapers the#old gods. older. we must assume. referring not just to them but to the quarians.#they call splinters of their hivemind that disagree ‘heretics’. legion accepts that name specifically because of its implications.#for a whole game the geth are mindless enemies and then suddenly they’re a *people*. and legion takes the name of a biblical demon.#we’re getting off topic here but its mass effect let me ramble. AI are banned because this fundamental difference in worldview makes them#unpredictable to organic life. makes them dangerous. legion accepts the name of a demon. accepts what the geth are seen as and what they are#and still asks. if they have a soul. they were not made with one in mind. they know this. they know they were not created to have one.#the point of the question isn’t. objectively. do they? the point is. do you consider them to. will you treat them as if they do.#because the flipside of all of this is that you know a robot’s origins too. you know their purpose. so. could you treat something made#this way as if it has a soul.#you know? sorry im getting very pretentious here. i miss mass effect 2 and my littke guys

⚠️ NEW RADIANT SOULS CHAPTER UP!! ⚠️
Chapter 13: Angels in the Homebase
Excerpt below cut.
“Grah, stupid thing!”
A foot-long cylindrical object was chucked into the air and flew into a stone wall. There was a loud CRACK, but the portal key remained unscathed. The brick it had been thrown against, however, had crumbled.
Isyris stood in the center of the living room, sweating and panting from exertion.
A small, round figure stood in the room’s archway, leaning up against the stone. Masaru silently watched with an amused smile as the sheep aggressively continued to throw, slam, and pound the key in a fit of unrestrained rage.
After a minute, he finally spoke. “Having trouble?” he asked, his smile splitting into a wide grin and voice dripping with smug delight.
Isyris jumped, startled. He had been so focused on unleashing his anger that he had not noticed the other was there. Voice nearly an octave higher, he looked away in embarrassment. “Er. Masaru—”
“Oh, would you look at that? He does know my name,” Masaru teased and approached closer.
“Do not start,” Isyris huffed. “Of course I do. It is just a habit.” He picked up the portal key once again and held it up. “What is with this thing?”
“It is in one ear and out the other with you,” Masaru grumbled. “Did you not hear what I said earlier? It is indestructible.”
A look of mild disbelief crossed the sheep’s face. “Yes, but… this indestructible?”
“Seems so.” The rat sidled up to the sheep and sat down beside him on the floor. “Have you tried anything else that I have not?”
Isyris looked down at his hands. “Can’t. All out of magic juice, I’m afraid.” He looked up at Masaru with a worried gaze. “I barely managed to get me and the kids out of the subway. Jett was too attached and was making things difficult. Had I not been able to push through it, we would have been found.”
He let out a weary sigh, looking Masaru in the eyes. “I am currently running on fumes, so to speak. I do not have much more I can give.”

that’s fucking it im making a side blog (also editing to say that this post is giving pg13 so if that makes u uncomfy/if thats something u shouldn’t be reading then don’t click the “keep reading” option ok if u do i WILL find you)
i know i shouldn’t be embarrassed about having interests! that still doesn’t change the fact that i am. so here is the last time i will ever planet of the apes post on main:
i think it would be so cute for annie and zira to be pregnant at the same time. the repeated mentions of annie and finnick fucking nasty style was something i included bc 1) fucking nasty style?? in cages??? yeah, sounds about right coming from these two 2) yall can’t be surprised when we move onto the next installment of the series and annie is suddenly pregnant. like if anything it should be expected bc in any universe finnick’s pullout game is so weak
#anyway i’m so excited to have the snoopy theme back#i mean i still love my current layout but the snoopy one has a special place in my heart#sigh. on one hand i was adamant about never doing a side blog bc i was like i can NOT splinter my soul like that#on the other hand. i can’t keep pota posting like this. i have so many posts in my drafts that im simply too embarrassed to bring onto here#and on the third hand. it’s never that fucking serious. having a tumblr blog is not a soul thing and i need to stop looking at it that way#i am NOT a tortured poet#and on the bright side ill be transferring some of my annoyigness onto there so i wont be as insufferable on this blog#also 18+ mutuals do we agree w the last sentence#i feel like it would have to be mf got her pregnant during a WAR… like girl

Some more of Leo being a creepy bugger for my Eldrich Soul au.
Splinters too old for this.
Also sorry for how the gif turned out, it was my first time making one and uploading it so there some issues :/
Anyway, each of the turtles have their own little creepy habits,
Leo’s got a little bit of shapeshifting and creepy eyes. His markings also shift around a lot. And sometimes the stripes on his face look like blood or tears. And sometimes he doesn’t have a face. Only the stripes remain, stretching and lifting from his face into a pair of antlers that seem to go on forever.
He also sneaks out of bed at night to search for snacks in the kitchen.
The others have their own quirks, but that’s for another time….
#rottmnt#art#eldrich soul au#Eldrich soul#rottmnt leo#rottmnt splinter#rottmnt leonardo#creepy#Leo doesn’t even realise he’s doing it#or that it is supposed to be scary#he just thinks it’s normal#cause splinter doesn’t really have any reaction to it#any more#he freaked out a lot more when they were younger#but they can’t remember that

Rise Leo meeting the 2012 Gang except after like, less than a week he says something along the lines of ‘Man, I can’t believe that all versions of me and my brothers and our friends are queer!’ And the whole 2012 Gang FREEZES because none of them are out to each other because they just assumed they were the only gay in the group and Rise Leo was able to figure everyone out like THAT.
Cue Spider-Man pointing meme where they’re all like, “YOU’RE BISEXUAL AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?? WE COULD’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL THIS TIME??” While Rise Leo is like “…You guys didn’t know?? Really??” Because they were all so focused on “Oh my god I’m gay… How do I come out to my family…” to notice that ALL of them are gay.
#rottmnt#tmnt 2012#tmnt crossover#The Rise gang is all out to each other because Rise Splinter is a raging bisexual#While 2012 Splinter doesn’t even know he’s bisexual#(He is. Source? Because he has all queer kids.)#All turtles are queer. Not a single one isn’t#I just think it would be funny if Rise Leo pointed it out thinking it was like. A universally known thing only to find out it really isn’t#After that the 2012 Gang gets even closer and they all band together to watch queer shows together to heal their souls#‘2012 Gang is all queer’ applies to both Casey and April too. Neither of these people are straight#Afterwards they form a goddamn line outside Splinters door being like ‘Hey dad… I’m gay.’ one after another#and Splinter is supportive bc he loves his boys but he’s confused why they’re all coming out on the same day#So he just keeps giving personalized speeches to tell them he loves and supports them no matter what#And then later pulls Rise Leo aside like ‘My Alternative Son… I grew up in a very traditional household. I have no idea what a Bisexual is’#So Rise Leo gives him the rundown so Splinter can better understand his kids#and then is like ‘Hm. this Bisexual thing sounds… Similar to how I feel.’#and. yeah <3#you get the idea#SB Speaks#SB Rambles#this got off the rails oops-

I understand to a certain extent why you'd give Hal the mind aspect, like, yeah. But Hal is Dirk. He is also the prince of heart, always had been. I know it's easy to separate the two because Hal goes by a different name, but it's not like he ever stopped being Dirk, he just has a different name and slightly altered perception of himself to fit his circumstances.
#homestuck#dirk strider#lil hal#hal strider#splinters sighs#thats not to say i don't acknowledge that theyre different characters#but they're not different “people”#within the story i mean#the thing about Dirks splinters is that they're all facets of HIM#as hal put its splinters all the way down#caliborn and calliope are two different people who share a body and hal and dirk are the same person who only share a soul#PRINCE OF HEART#destroyer of SELF#are you listening to me do you hear me
