Leo as a character is deeply tied to the very concept of identity that it is deeply ingrained into every aspect of his character and in this essay I will-
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#rottmnt leo#no but I’m being so serious Leo and his struggles with identity are so prevalent in his story throughout the series#he’s a liar and a schemer and masks 24/7 and thinks he’s nothing without his family all while failing to establish himself outside of them#and it’s SO INTERESTING#like some of his main characteristics are his PERSONA and his SUBTERFUGE#pretty much the one interest he has that is not related to his family is magic tricks aka more persona and deception#one of the only times he goes off on his own is to get some rest and relaxation#and even then he HAPPILY changes a part of himself to even be allowed that#this is all also interesting in how he interacts with his family#he knows people and he’s good with words#his pep talks his goading they go hand in hand#and he’d rather people be annoyed or angry at him than be allowed to see the nothing he believes himself to be#Leo struggles with his identity because deception is the backbone of such a large part of it#and the other part is just him being a part of a whole#one part of a package set#his ego is built by putting on airs and is every bit as fragile as its foundation#I’ll probably add more tags later lbr I’m just so tied to Leo and Identity I could go on and on#AND ANOTHER THING but I also think for as much as Leo wants to prove himself an individual he is also TERRIFED at the thought of being known#Leo is a self sabotaging character who lowers people’s expectations as best he can on purpose

It’s so hard to motivate myself to write for school unless I’m pants shittingly close to the deadline. I’m trying so hard bc I have two papers due at the same time in a couple of weeks but my brain is just like WHAT A VAST EXPANSE OF TIME THAT SURELY WONT SHRINK VERY RAPIDLY SO WE’RE GOOD
#I also am writing about French gender neutral language evolving#and it’s so interesting#but I don’t want to be coherent about it I want to be like ISNT THIS COOL#IM JUST NOT INTERESTED IN BEING COHERENT GOD#ITS NOT A SKILL I HAVE!!!!!!!!

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

Girl failed the med school exam like 8 times I dont think she'd do all too well when faced with the burnt crisp of her captain
#mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#i think anya should be allowed by the fandom to not be the best at her job#i find her more interesting as someone trying to reach a goal but unable to make it#curly being kept alive is less so an impressive feat and more so the torment of keeping someone alive but never aleviating their pain#also itd make jimmys comments crueler in how hed target her insecurities

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well
bonus under the cut:
#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much#but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong#that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#digital art#my stuff#anyway i really don't like how this one turned out#but i don't feel like changing it#bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to#and i don't wanna look at it any longer

passages that make you whisper "oh my god"
#text!#working on a paper abt the degradation of the line between real/unreal in modern society and this one paragraph blew my MIND#like it literally tied all of my other sources together#also this whole paper is about how sex has disappeared from american media so if ur interested in that i highly recommend it

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her
#I was curious so I looked it up 1038 fics on ao3 tagged Taylor Swift and f/f#like I’m not necessarily encouraging people to go out and write rpf#but it’s wild that arguably the biggest musical artist right now who has a huge community speculating about her sexuality has so little fic#like this isn’t a good or bad thing I just think it’s interesting#idk I’m not actually a swiftie like that#like I listen to her music and keep up generally with what she’s doing but I’m not really in the fandom#so there might be something I’m missing

Bruce used Awkward Flirtation. It's a Critical Hit!
Reference under cut
#dreamer doodles#superbat#bruce wayne#clark kent#dick grayson#I have this dumb headcanon where Clark is so used to Bruce's#Brucie persona that his over the top flirting just doesn't register as sincere to Clark#and when Bruce isn't being an obnoxious flirt he's just incredibly awkward and struggles to express his interest#so Clark still doesn't get it#Idk I'm weak for pining idiots#also look at how pretty I drew Dick! :D

I want to emphasize something about the dungeon meshi ages.
So Senshi is 35-36 here, yeah? The dwarven age of maturity is 40, and he’s just shy of it.
When Chilchuck was just shy of his race’s age of maturity, he had a kid and got married. He was 13, and the half-foot age of maturity is 14.
So, developmentally-wise, THIS is how old Chilchuck was when he became a father:
This is even further emphasized with Izutsumi. She’s 17 (and actually turns 18 during the faligon feast), older than the tallman age of maturity, and still reads VERY immature to the audience. By the time Chilchuck was Izutsumi’s relative age, he was already on his third kid and had moved away from home to the city.
Imagine Izutsumi being a parent of three. Imagine Senshi having a child of his own when he was with the miners.
Like. Chilchuck was young young.
#i find it so interesting!!! what a compelling trait to give a character!!!#it clearly fucked him up and we’re seeing the repurcussions of that!!#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#senshi of izganda#chilchuck tims#izutsumi#photos

idk if anyone else felt this way, but in the Shapeshifter ep of Dungeon Meshi, it's treated like a joke that all the copies of Laios are super obviously not him, but isn't it kind of fucked up that Laios's closest companions don't seem to view him as... whole?
None of his companions had an accurate view of him as a person! One of the copies was a stupid, drooling mess! And on top of this, they all believed that because Laios struggles with social cues he wouldn't be observant to them as people. They just... fundamentally don't understand him.
I think the really accurate copies of the rest of the party was drawn from Laios's mind. His powers of observation and analytics are his strength, but that's not the same as being good with social cues.
Anyway. It made me really sad. I know his party cares about him, but it's so isolating to know your friends don't know you.
#i really didnt expect to feel so Seen by dungeon meshi#yes i do struggle to make friends and connect with other people why do you ask#and yes i often get reduced to whatever my current hyperfixation/special interest is#laios is me#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#laios touden

Continuation of this
#trying to write bills cipher in character is harder than it looks#I HAD to finish this comic but I have so many other things to do so now I gotta go do that#it’s nearly 1am help#my art#gravity falls#twins in time au#Stan pines#Stanley pines#bill cipher#I think the idea of bill weaponising Stans fear of losing his brother is so interesting a concept#especially because he literally does lose him in the future#baby Stan having to atone for the actions of his future self when he just wants his cool brother to like him#:((((
