I hate quizzes that ask questions like “who are you in the friend group?” and “do act the same with all of your friends?”
I have completely isolated myself since graduation and I didn’t even have friends in school how tf am I supposed to answer that?
#I do have my awesome wonderful perfect fiancé tho#and a really big really awesome family#but when quizzes ask abt friends#ESPECIALLY those mental health tests like tha RADDS R or whatever it’s called#like when they ask#I am able to relax and feel comfortable around my friends. yes when baby? yes when grownup?#like#HOW AM I SUPOOSED TO KNOE?#chatterbun#or like can u make friends easily?#I can engage in small talk and me friendly no problem#but gaining a meaningful connection to someone that doesn’t either feel awkward or uncomfortable is unheard of#idk how to handle those lol

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

I love the idea that the title of God in cotl is gender neutral
Especially for Heket, I love that even tho she’s the only woman of the bishops, she’s referred to as a God instead of a Goddess
Idk I just really love Heket, she’s got the deepest voice, she’s physically the biggest when she transforms
It would have been so easy for the devs to have made her a guy, but no, they wanted her specifically to be a woman and to have all these traits
God I love her so much
#what’s awesome too is that she isn’t straight up mean and/or rude all the time#she’s a strong person who felt like she had to be the glue to keep their family together#she LOVES her family so much#she has dreams about Anura and how much she misses it#she also wants to eat the lil spiders that skitter around in the cult which is really funny#she’s a big sappy weirdo who had to put on a brave face for her family

also i watch The Wild Robot the other day and oh my god 11/10, absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word, would cry again 👍
#josh talks#literally i cried several times throughout the movie#i do tend to be a crier when it comes to movies#but i have never cried like. in so many instances throughout#like usually its like a big climatic scene or the endings of things that make me cry#but this movie could hit you hard from the very beginning#anyway i absolutely fucking loved it#hit me in the Autism Feels (tm) and also had Found Family and i always eat that shit up#i NEED a physical copy of this movie#also side note the minecraft movie trailer played as a preview for this movie and GOD is that embarrassing for minecraft#to have that mess shown before the stunning masterpiece that is The Wild Robot#but it also made me Sad about the minecraft movie and what it couldve been again#imagine if the love and care put into the Wild Robot was put into the minecraft movie....#cuz the wild robot was gorgeously animated and had powerful emotional themes (that i doubt the minecraft movie will have)#there was even this preview for this movie called like Dog Man or something?#and it seems to be an adaptation of a book by the captain underpants guy#and even with such a silly premise and presumably having a target audience of young kids#it was animated so charmingly!! it was pretty and oozed personality!#and looking at the cover of the book it seems to have done a good job of adapting the artstyle into 3D while#also polishing it up while still capturing a similar vibe as the original#like dang. i dont mean to insult dog man cuz i really dont know anything about it. but dang dog man got#so much more love and care into it than the minecraft movie seems to have gotten#anyway sorry to derail from wild robot to minecraft it was just so jarring to have that trailer play before this awesome movie#pls go watch it if u can <3#ive been telling people i know that if they decide to go watch it to tell me so i can tag along and watch it again

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.
The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.
It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.
Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!
Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.
Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.
They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!
#original#glass onion#it's just. business school prepared me really well to succeed in the business world as a straight white neurotypical#able-bodied cis man with a large network of very wealthy friends and family#I really would have killed it if I wasn't a queer autistic cripple!#even the best teachers seemed incredibly unaware of the enormous privilege that they were assuming in their students when they taught#but they basically presupposed you had infinite energy and savings and a disturbingly large number of my classes were just#lectures about pushing as hard as you can no matter what#they used Starbucks as an example of an admirable case of somebody who persisted in going to 150 investor pitches before being approved#and like. how many people do you know who have enough savings to schedule plan and attend 150 investor pitches?#how many people do you know who could set up even 12 through their connections?#where are those savings coming from? where are those investor pitch meetings coming from? those aren't easy to get!!#but none of this was ever mentioned it was just awesome that the guy kept trying I guess.#I have a sneaking suspicion that if I were to have dug deeper into some of the examples we were given that a lot of those#real life businesses probably started with a big big loan from somebody's parents#I was listening to the show you're wrong about which is a really good podcast and Michael Hobbs was like#anytime you see an article glorifying someone's financial success especially at a young age you should control F for 'parents'#because chances are you will probably see the word 'parents' somewhere next to the words 'million dollar loan'#anyway college is a scam. the community aspect was incredibly cool but I don't see why we as a culture need to only be able to access that#kind of community when we are paying a scam Institution a shitload of money for Educations that aren't helpful for the majority of us#if College was free then people could actually study things that are useful or fun for them#I took most of my courses just to fill out my major too. the point wasn't to learn it was to graduate.#and then it turned out that if you're disabled in the way i am it doesn't matter if you have a college degree!#but I'm sure miles would say I just need to pull myself up by my bootstraps. and that's why I'm glad his life got exploded 😌#andi kept him around for his money - why else would he be there when no one even liked him??#he was the bankroll#one time I swear to god we just had the guy from American Psycho just a real ass Patrick Bateman#it was wild watching that movie later and being like ???? I know this guy!#outside of the actual murder scenes everything in that movie is not exaggerated in the slightest those bitches really are like that#like my parents are not 1% level rich so there'd be no giant loans but they are rich. it'd be stupid to act like i didn't benefit from that

can’t sleep therefore. brainstorming
#the fic thang trying to write again#didn’t exactly like where the last one was headed orz#and it threw f*li under the bus which. i don’t want to do! she’s fun when she ain’t written like how she was in 20th#also while i’d like to stick to canon as close as possible i fuckign love the comet trio family fics they’re great#i’ll just tone down the obsession thing if i get to it. big if tho love of that kind ain’t a thing i’m really interested in#who knows tho could be a fun exercise. or just fun to explore in general. speaking from a complete lack of experience here akajdhsk#blurry babbles#i need a refresher on landmarks in primp tho if you guys could tell me where nahe is in relation to the town that would be Awesome#like a map or something the one on nexus didn’t really clear anything up for me#getting ideas down for the thing tho and the characters i’d want in it. disorganized as hell but it’s helping i think.#might be forgetting a few that could really work here memory bad and bedtime was 2 hours ago :’)#i’ll check the wiki later but i like the one(1) other guy i settled on. limiting myself here cause i think lemmy would get out of school-#earlier than the primp kids and also maybe f*li (sure it’s a middle/highschool thing going on here)#don’t know exactly how those work tho i’d have to google that in the morning. she won’t be here tho i think idk still brainstorming#anyway gonna stop talking now woo#also the whiplash in this document. you get character speculations then the next line is my uncle at sega tell me now akajdhsk.#keeps me motivated i guess

Today’s my birthday and this week when Steven was having a hard time beating a level of a video game he passed the controller to me and I beat it instantly and that was the very first time I have actually assisted in a hard part of a video game rather than being the one who needs assistance… so I guess I have grown!
#I did SO much socializing this week#been missing my family though!#playing video games of any sort makes me think of my brother and cousin…. I wish they both were still like a big part of my life#steven’s brother is like. kicking ass trying to fill in and be my brother which is really sweet and awesome but#sorta feeling like… i don’t really have… like. any sort of Inner Circle of friends in my life right now#hmmm#my post

whatever else happened this year, I picked up a new hobby, and that's worth celebrating
what's something you guys did this year that you personally want to celebrate?
#not dw#Happy new year everyone#still only the 30th but that doesn't matter#finished making the big one and wanted to share it beyond my family#took the photo and realised I've only been making origami since the summer#felt really pleased for myself#Best thing I've done this year#made me want to hear what you guys are happy you did this year#not that your proud of necessarily#not something you achieved#something that enriched your life#I want to know#I also want to gush about my models#these ones are all geometric and modular#ie had to fold many things and put them together#and I've discovered they're my favourite kind of things to make#they're awesome#it's great seeing them go from blobs of paper barely staying together to this awesome colourful shape#I love it#I started with animals and flowers and stuff#and even this really cool dragon whose wings you can make flap#but I can't take photos of those right now to show you because they're half way across the country#I guess what I like about it is I like following instructions to make stuff#and when I make origami I can do it whenever I like#because I always have the resources even when I might have to cut them first so they're square#having coloured paper does make it better but it isn't strictly necessary and that's awesome#literally the only drawback is having the space to display the finished model

in the winter i get what i can only describe as More Autistic, like a weird combination of nostalgia and wanting nothing more than to look at lists and spreadsheets and sort things.
#tag for when im talking#its nostalgic in that i want to do this mainly in the form of ocs that are Very Sortable that i was into in varying degrees as a teenager#namely warrior cats + rwby + homestuck + harry potter#when i was a teenager my friend at the time was really into harry potter and she was able to get me to do these long elaborate#original character focused roleplays even though i had never read or watched the source material by being like#“ok so theres these four types of people and seven grades of students and these different classes and clubs and these big families”#and i was like Awesome we can do that ill be in charge of all these LISTS that are Definitely 100% Necessary.#i was never able to talk her into reading homestuck but if i had i think i would have achieved just like pure happiness and joy.

Out smoked my cousins,,, truly feeling like the hippy failure cousin that all the kids like but all the adults judge and like it’s great vibes I feel my cousins actually enjoy being around me (not even just that we’re smoking like they seem to legit enjoy talking to me)
#getting along with my family and then going to bed and immediately getting really sad about my dad bc one of my cousins is super musical and#him and my dad talked about music a lot and they were always talking about gutair models and speaker types and so much cool shit and he was#such a big supporter of him and I just wish my dad was still alive bc now that same cousin is just barely starting to smoke weed (not around#his parents so we waited for them to leave and then we all smoked a joint and he watched rick and morty and then fell asleep on the couch#with a bag of Cheetos in his lap honestly so so real I hope tonight was awesome for him caus he doesn’t smoke often at all he’s still at the#remembering every time part of smoking#yeah I just wish that dad was around but at the same time I think the dynamics would be different if dad was around like things would just..#ugh. things would be better and things would be worse but I am happy and healthy and surrounded by love and I can’t dwell on shit that isn’t#going to happen and can’t ever happen again. I just have to move past it bc he is dead and I am alive and that is what outliving your#parents is and it sucks but there is nothing I can do about it and it happens to everyone it just happened earlier for me

I’m a dude!#if I hate it or it makes me uncomfortable then great!!!! not a dude!!!!#unfortunately it is not working out that way and I am still mostly confused#like…. I just don’t understand 😭😭😭 I want to understand and I don’t#I got jealous when my friend started hormones and then I was talking about gender issues with my therapist and she asked if I wanted her to#write me a letter for hormones or any surgeries and the idea of changing my body like that made me viscerally uncomfortable#like what!!!!! the fuck!!!!!! what is wrong with me!!!!!#why can I not just know exactly what I want and how I want ppl to refer to me and how I want to be seen#my friends call me ‘he’ and their pets ‘uncle’ and my dad called me his son and like okay awesome#I think I kinda like it but it’s also a goddamn jumpscare every fuckin time#sometimes I think I like being a guy but also I wanna be a lesbian#and like sometimes I wanna be a dude but the idea of having a dick? absolutely fucking not I KNOW I don’t want that#but I want a deeper voice and more body hair#and just ugh UGH I DONT UNDERSTAAAAAAND#like yeah I know I’m almost certainly on the non-binary spectrum like there’s no denying that#but :( I just wanna know how I want to look and be seen so I could actually take steps towards being more comfortable#because no matter what I’ve tried I’ve never been completely comfortable#guy or girl even sometimes androgynous it just isn’t working#I just want to be Me and I feel fine but literally the second I get referred to as anything from an outside party#it sparks intense euphoria or dysphoria but it’s not consistent so I can’t figure it out#anyways I wanna melt into the floor of this Costco one of my dude coworkers called me ‘man’ and I cringed but then another coworker called#me ‘she’ and I also cringed#like what the fuck what in fresh hell I’m so frustrated I just want it all to stop#like it’s all fun and games ‘haha I’m a boy lesbian’ and sometimes yeah that does feel right but also both are wrong and just

I so, so desperately want to move into a big beautiful Victorian house with a handful of friends. I'm honestly having a bit of a depression about the fact that it feels like a fucking pipe dream because 1) my circle of friends is very small these days, & 2) amatanormativity means everyone else is planning their future around a romantic partner, while I'm stuck trying to forge a future alone.
#i want the stability and the ownership and tbh the aesthetic beauty of a house of my own#but fuck if i can afford anything around here with just 1 person's salary#and i know from past experience that living alone is a depression trigger for me#and even though everyone loves to talk about how awesome it would be to live in a big house with all their friends#it really truly feels like literally none of them actually mean it#cause at the end of the day they inevitably seek out long-term romantic partners and plan their futures as a couple#and I'm just here on my own#desperately wanting that same stability and companionship#but kept on the outskirts because our whole fucking society is built around nuclear families and even people who recognize that's a problem#still use it as the default framework for their own lives#sarah talks at the internet#tag rant#i had to drive through the rich part of town to get to the bookstore today#seeing all those GORGEOUS Victorians and knowing that i can't realistically even DAYDREAM about some day having one has put me in a mood
