have ae ever told you all that aba ‘therapy’ essentially pavloved us into hating uno cause they’d make us play it every single time we were there
cause it turns out that if you’re stuck in a place you hate with people you hate and they’re making you do things you hate because obviously THEIR interpretations are the correct ones and the fact that you thought otherwise is just cause you’re autistic (and that’s all you are to us and that’s all you ever will be) and you’re here so we can teach you how to mask better dumbass what are you doing having opinions-
(inhale) …and they make you play uno every time you’re there, you kinda start to hate uno just as much you hate them
#there’s other games we hate with a passion for the same reason but we don’t see them nearly as often#but yeah aba sucks#glad we don’t have to do that anymore#^^ surprise!! there’s a happy ending here! no more aba for us#also on a more lighthearted note#we had a dream last night that we got top surgery and that was fucking awesome#yippie 🏳️⚧️🦕🦑

oh i should share this old doodle of when i was watching the tagalog dub and my friend and i were talking about tsukki and weaponized politeness LOL
(mano info for yall unfamilliar ✌️)
#the translation isnt 1:1 but i wanted to keep the feeling of the dialogue more than translating it literally pftt#and added context the joke is that u only mano someone if theyre older than you. like usually elders grampas granmas#(can also be for ur aunties uncles and godparents)#BUT usually for the elderly.#so the (often lighthearted) disrespect of someone just months younger than you asking to mano is really funny DFGHDJ#also note i love when tsukki is being a smartass and yammers is just laughing with his hand on his mouth ASKSK i know what you are#haikyuu#sunnysidedoodles#sunnysideball

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.
Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.
So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.
In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.
Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.
It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.
Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#how pretentious can I sound when talking about a fictional turtle more at eight#anyway I always loved to think about Leo’s quick line about coping with humor#I don’t care how much people think it doesn’t REALLY matter it’s fun to play around with tbh#also love the idea that Leo’s sense of humor comes from the protags of his fav campy series#(+ from his confident and awesome big sis April)#like idk Leo’s special interests directly paving out how he presents himself both to others and in general is so interesting to me!!!#he is someone who KNOWS people and their quirks so 100% he caught on to that 80’s style of quippy one-liners-#-and associated that with safety and levity#even the villains of these genres who spout off quips tend to be the ones who survive!#Leo desperately fighting to keep the same lighthearted genre as 87 TMNT as the horrors of 2003 and 2012 loom on the horizon#and I think something important to note is that Leo KNOWS things are real#he is WELL AWARE of how dangerous things can get for them#but he copes anyway because it’s easier to deal with everything that way#bro just wants he and his family to be safe tbh

what is the theory that ivan manipulated the event where till and mizi met the wagyein?
It's not a theory, actually! It's confirmed that Ivan orchestrated the whole event. The true reason as to why however is still unknown. The information provides more context to this scene, though:
During the earlier times of ALNST the most rational explanation for this scene was that Till ran after a flower crown (presumably Mizi's) and Ivan followed him in out of curiosity. Now we know that Ivan was conveniently just standing there because he was waiting.
Side note, I find it heartbreaking (and maybe a little funny, sorry) that Till most likely didn't notice Ivan in this scene. That's just like him, isn't it. Always too busy running after Mizi while Ivan trails behind, an ever-present shadow.
I'm not sure how Ivan manipulated the circumstances for both of them to end up there, but it is confirmed that everything was intentional. What strikes me most is how they describe this particular scene:
I can't copy down what they said word-for-word (Patreon info), but they described Ivan watching "creepily" as Till and Mizi are faced with danger. We know that Ivan was familiar with the Cerberus wagyein beforehand, enough to touch its teeth and even to rest himself inside its maw. To Ivan, the wagyein is not dangerous, but to Till and Mizi, it could be. Ivan prepared the wagyein, led them there, and watched "creepily" from afar as Till fell on his knees, seemingly injured.
The closest I can get to making sense of Ivan's "scheme" is that he wanted to see how other children would react in a dangerous situation. Ivan's always been an observer, after all, and he's learned to survive by copying the more "normal" behaviors of his peers. This situation occured when Ivan was still young and had not yet developed his more charming mask, so perhaps he staged this encounter to study a situational response, to learn and mimic the emotion of fear. And what better subjects for the experiment than two of the most expressive and reactive humans of their batch? It helps that he was already fixated on Till beforehand, too. I think Ivan became irreversibly obssessed after this incident, especially since it's framed as a turning point in Ivan's life, comparing Till to the stars.
This is just my attempt at an interpretation, though. It could very well be for another reason. He most likely chose Till and Mizi specifically for personal reasons, not just for reaction. I'm still not sure on the purpose behind the whole thing.
The team wanted to capture Ivan's "dark emotions" through the shot of his stalking, which could relate to his more sinister intentions. His gaze can be read in a few different ways, though. Curiosity, interest, fear, etc. Maybe that's why they decided to redraw the shot in ROUND 6.
I think this better sells the feeling they were trying to convey.
#ivan u fucked up little guy.#also okay i just wanna clear this up#i know i make a lot of posts about ivans darker side and his more problematic traits#but this isn't me trying to villainize him or reduce him down to “toxic yaoi”#I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW ALL MY TOXIC YAOI POSTS ARE LIGHTHEARTED.#i just want to clarify that ivan was always intended to be a darker and complicated character. even since his debut in round 3#the way i refer to ivan (“twisted” “creepy” “obssessive” etc) are literally the direct words used by q and v themselves to describe him#but despite that id like to emphasize that i don't see ivan as a villain or a completely bad person. hes complicated#there is no normalcy in this world they are living in. none of the characters know what being truly normal is#this isn't me condoning his actions#but it has to be acknowledged that alnst is fucked up in nature. we can't expect perfect relationships from people who are born to die#plus ivan has a lot more layers past the “dark” parts. he's constantly battling himself and his desires#especially at the end of round 6 where he performs a myriad of conflicting actions (kiss strangle peck smile)#thanks to the r6 production notes we now know that ivan was going through a rapid internal conflict#“sure and unsure at the same time”#there is sooo much to ivan. his low self-esteem. his desire and possessiveness despite knowing till will never love him#his VEHEMENT insistence that till will never love him vs his desperate persistence in trying anyway#uh i need to shut up i think#anyways sorry. just wanted to clarify my thoughts on him in case people think im. yk.#in short. hes a fucked up little freak and he fascinates me. this poor tragic child. i love him.#SORRY I GOT CARRIED AWAY#alnst#alien stage#alien stage ivan#alnst ivan#asks

yall mfers need to stop
#gay characters written with a straight audience in mind are a thing im not denying that#like 95% of one-off queer storylines in the early 2000s were just#''hello i am a gay. i have just enough personality to pass as human in the eyes of the audience.#now let me explain why you should treat me like a person''#but my god have people taken this phrase and run all the way into hell with it#if i see one more person saying heartstopper is for straight people im gonna start biting throats out#it was created by a queer person first of all#and second of all they did not write an entire subplot about there being no age limit on discovering who you are#for STRAIGHT PEOPLE#that wasn't for them!! it was for all the people in their 30s who watched the first season#and cried their eyes out because they were seeing all the things they never got to have#im so tired yall#i stg any queer media that's even remotely lighthearted or optimistic#is immediately called ''sanitized'' or rejected as some fantasy aimed at straight ppl who dont want to deal with harsh realities#when that just isnt fair at all#also side note the post i saw that prompted me to make this also put ''pretty much all queer media made in asia'' on the list#of queer media for straights#which. feels racist.#i really dont have much of a frame of reference for queer anime/kdramas/cdramas etc. but the generalization feels sketchy#idk man i feel like there's a certain segment of the community who will just say anything they dont like is not For Us#like just because it isn't for YOU doesnt meant no one in the community can relate to/enjoy it ffs

Ooh for Toad Peach AU how did the first meeting go with the officials of the Beanbean Kingdom? Ohh maybe more on Peach and Peasley's becoming friends. Does he help her feel a little more confident in her true form? Gimme all of the dynamics hehe
idk why i thought i dreamed this ask but i forgot you sent it 😭 here ya go!
the beanbean and mushroom kingdoms have an extremely close relationship that’s rather old, and as such the births of both heirs were highly celebrated by both families.
here, peasley is roughly 1 year older than peach, and the betrothal between the two was set up very early so the two do not remember their first meeting as they were infants at the time. but still, they visited peach many times before her debutante.
peach’s parents died in a horrific incident i still haven’t detailed when she was around 3-4, which did result in queen bean reaching out more often as peach grew older to offer additional guidance and support :]
but back to peasley and peach, they were thick as thieves and peasley introduced her to fencing! toadsworth wasn’t a fan at first but eventually relented (whatever endears her to peasley, plus any experience with a weapon could come in handy if the mushroom kingdom were to ever leave the peacful era). she’s quite adept in both forms, but prefers to fence in human form. it isn’t something she practices often in current day but it’s something she treasures the memories of alongside trying his bean pillow and learning about beanbean allies and his travels :]
though, as they got older, the two became more aware of their betrothal and what would follow, but things weren’t clicking so they decided to experiment a little (read: they kissed and neither of them liked it. sad!) but neither have brought up calling anything off as both are quite fine with something contractual if it came down to it (but peach would call it off if peasley asked)
at peach’s debutante, they danced together first as a show of the kingdom relationship, and when the first attack/kidnapping happens, the beanbean kingdom offered aid and refuge (little fungitown)
re: her appearance and peasley—she initially meets the beanbean family in toad form, but as she got older this became rarer as experience (and her self image) became priority. peasley makes sure to praise her toad form’s beauty when he sees it, and when mario does come into the picture is of the firm opinion alongside daisy that he does not deserve her if he doesn’t like her true form. on most days she agrees with him
as for superstar saga, he still arrives to the mushroom kingdom ahead of time and toadette volunteers to take peach’s place instead of birdo (the effect is later undone before peach arrives in the beanbean kingdom)
post superstar saga, the two meet (peach crownless) to discuss their love interests, and their betrothal is officially called off. consequent meetings with the beanbean kingdom are held in her toad form :]
#gari’s asks#nintendo#smb#toad peach au#princess peach#prince peasley#ty key ily 🩵#oh my god i hate tumblr no i did not click on that notification i was working on a draft 😭#for clarification: mario and luigi know about her toad form by superstar saga#i’m not sure if peach ever publicizes their relationship but they are more explicit/open after superstar saga#but overall peasley is a treasured confidant before daisy enters the picture#and i imagine that peasley would give her gifts from other kingdoms since between her preparations and toadsworth she never left the castle#so peach has a healthy love of travel#i feel like peach wouldn’t have wanted to call off the betrothal first and foremost bc of how much she loves queen bean#like she knows that it wouldn’t change but still#also after the debutante and the bowser thing that’s the only thing saving her from a marriage plot working#kind of. you know what i mean#peasley visited a few times after her debutante but he did not meet mario or luigi until superstar saga#(they weren’t isekai’d yet or mario was away or sick)#half wrote this off the seat of my pants but it is mainly based of what i wrote about their relationship in my notes#i did write that she was gonna get married at like. age 23-25 but im still figuring out the timeline so rn superstar saga happens when shes#a lot later than that i think. i don’t want everything to be so compressed but if i want everything to fit in a certain timeline i need#to do some adjustments on timeframe and/or maybe make peach younger when smb happens#peasley and daisy have a lighthearted rivalry 👍🏽

I think I figured out a system name :-)
#lovestruck fools is the fancier one — but i also came up with lovesys and i do like that too#so we might alternate between those?#i’ll have to run that by the others#i was just thinking#i wrote that (now privated) post and i thought#man. we’re getting older now#and i don’t want to be full of hate anymore#i don’t want to be bitter#i don’t want to be an angry dog that growls and bites because it’s afraid#i just want to be kind and i want to love the world#our life is getting better by the second so maybe that’s helping us#we’re in a better place mentally :-)#i don’t know. it’s just nice to be happy for once#we have less and less sad days#also! on a more lighthearted note#seems like ceri / cerys is the most popular name on that poll thing#i’m going go give it a few more days and we’ll probably change our collective name then#thank you for reading the rambling if you did :-)#posts#🎀

i love the egg child part of the qsmp so much i just need to put it into words. it’s such a smart idea for how to make sure the server stays active — it’s not an activity requirement, but if you don’t take care of your egg, it will die. theoretically, you could just let your egg die and you can let someone else take care of it when you aren’t free to join. but people fall in love with their little pixel children and then they WANT to be active, it’s not an obligation they have to fill but something their consistently excited to do.
and having the parents be an english streamer and a spanish streamer is such a good way to make sure they all interact with each other across the language barrier. sure, there is some in-game translation to make things easier, but they also end up talking on discord to coordinate childcare and in the screenshots we’ve seen i think it’s so interesting how they’ll often speak the other person’s language rather than just picking one to both use or only using their own. co-parenting also gives them the basis for building up strong and unique relationships between the streamers themselves and their qsmp characters, which would’ve been much harder to develop without being given a starting point given the language barrier.
it’s just so clear how much thought quackity has put into this server and it’s so fun to watch everyone fall in love with their little egg children
#also as a side note the people ahead of time being like ‘this is such a random group of people why did q pick them they aren’t even friends’#it makes a lot more sense with the egg context#everyone he picked is someone who will be a good parent#their online personas allow for them to be responsible without losing the way they normally act in content#and they’re all the kind of people who take silly things seriously and won’t think it’s funny just to kill other people’s eggs for no reason#like i love tommy and he is great at loving things in minecraft but it would be SO weird to see him be a parent yknow#like it just doesn’t fit with his online persona he’s presenting more mature as he gets older but still#the ‘child’ propaganda is still too strong rn#and regardless of how close quackity currently is or isn’t with dteam and co#i think it’s pretty clear why he wouldn’t want to include anyone who participated in trying to kill micheal b.#it’s not the vibe he was going for with this server#the way that things have played out with the eggs makes it very clear that everyone was well chosen for this server#it’s good content but still lighthearted and filled with love#very long tag rant oops#qsmp#my post

Also just imagine when Megatron's coding calms down and stops assuming everything is a threat that needs to be met with immediate lethal force and finally leaves his quarters. Every bot he meets has to basically be like **P A N I C** while trying to act normal. Not at all paying attention to the chirping little blob on your pauldron with some very telling finials. Never seen anything even remotely close to that in all my functioning so please don't tear my head off Lord Megatron.
And yes I like to think sparkling rides on his shoulder. Maybe special baby magnets? Like the grasping reflex in babies.
Special magic baby magnetic servos
Logically, there's probably an instinctive reason why Cybertronian coding would necessitate this murderous intent to anything that could be harmful to sparkling (ie predacons to ancient transformers)
I could also see so much casually cradling Silverlight to Megatron's (and eventually Optimus's) chassis. That sparkling will probably not touch the ground until a way a lot later on, it's too fragile and there's too much that could happen with big mecha walking around.
#also likely a reason why Cybertronian sparklings are way crazy rare#the amount of resources and strong instincts that take over would be considered undesirable in Functionalism#also the fact that if the population learned of this method of reproduction they wouldn't need to rely on the allspark as much#which would be super threatening to the caste system and the corrupt senate#tfp au#but by gods this protective nature will return with vicious force when Tarn becomes a threat#and 100% threatens the sparkling as it's existence threatens his fantasy (and the Fallen's plans)#this will not go well for him. and will also provoke a response in the other mecha and and even Fowler#on a more lighthearted note the medics are gonna have such a group effort on trying to do a checkup and antivirals#cybertronian biology#tfp Megatron#tfp Optimus#oc talk#ship kid#silverlight

i also think its hilarious that this movie takes place during the worst of the dominion war and yet its only alluded to once or twice.
#its also funny that worf fucks off to have a silly little adventure with his enterprise buddies while DS9 is on the frontlines of the war#iirc they weren't sure if they'd get another movie so they wanted to end things on a more lighthearted note. its still funny tho.#emma watches star trek

It's a show meant for entertainment purposes first and foremost, it can tackle certain topics and address certain issues sure but those are secondary goals. After cultivating an audience with certain tastes and expectations with the first season what we saw was not what we signed up for so you can't blame viewers being put off.
im sorry but cat fingers was like. episode 6 so i think that should help set up viewers to what this show is about
#anon#asks#on a more serious note#there are already plenty of events in season 1 that are pretty heavy#steven the sword fighter#mirror gem/ocean gem#the return#like these are all pretty heavy events#that we just see as more lighthearted bec were seeing it through stevens eyes#and at that point his view of the world is still mostly positive#and while yes i agree some events in future are MUCH heavier#i think watching your guardian get stabbed straight through the chest is pretty horrifying#theres also like. idk#the initial target audience of su would have aged
