I think a lot about how common it is for Raph to be the one to have direct focus put on him when Leo gets into all his near death experiences.

Like, when Leo is thrown off a building, it’s Raph who’s right there jumping after him, not even thinking about the consequences to himself when he does. When Leo almost gets skewered by the Krang, Raph’s right there to take the blow and send Leo to safety without a second thought. When Leo’s being strangled to near death, it’s a Krangified Raph doing the job, doing exactly what Raph would never, ever want to do. When Leo is telling Casey Jr to close the portal, it’s Raph who tries desperately to convince Leo otherwise.

Likewise, Leo is consistently very single minded when Raph gets forcibly separated from them. Both when in the sewers and by the Krang, Leo is dead set on finding Raph first and foremost.

I also think it’s interesting that during each of Leo’s near death experiences, the lightheartedness of his words during them goes directly hand in hand with both how close Raph is to him physically and how much danger Raph is also in in that moment. From a literal “I told you so” as Leo’s falling away from Raph to a soft joke about how “hero moves” are Raph’s style - both of these are on the more morbidly carefree side and both of these notably take Leo farther away from Raph and, in turn, have Raph not in immediate danger.

On the other side of things is the apology from Leo, heedless of the danger he himself is in as he seriously and genuinely speaks to a Krangified Raph face to face. Then there’s Leo’s freezing and desperation as Raph takes a hit meant for him and sends just Leo to safety, leaving Raph himself behind. Both of these involve much closer proximity and Raph being directly harmed - these together make Leo much more vulnerable in his words and actions, something not even the threat of death can make him.

These two care about each other so much, and they’re way too much alike for their own good.

going FERAL over your scarred stu design it is so ‼️‼️‼️ look at he!!

Scarred Stu 2: Electric Boogaloo

Billy got a lot more affectionate, and all Stu needed to do was to have a brutal near-death experience

(song completely unrelated to the drawing i just really like it and listened to the whole thing in a loop while i made this lol)

fear as a counterweight

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

sometimes, i just mourn for the moriarty brothers’ childhoods, or lack thereof.

albert was a child for a little bit. there were a few precious years when he had everything he could ever want. but he was robbed of his innocence when he was so young and he could never go back. he still believed that a good, pure world was possible, but he also believed that he could never do enough to deserve it.

william had a childhood, albeit a poor one. he had his parents for a little while, or at least his mother. but he was on the streets and became an orphan quickly, and he was always aware of the unfairness of the world. he accepted his role as the savior, the martyr, the devil, when he was so, so young.

louis never had a childhood. since he could remember, it was just him and his brother, and he lived every day knowing it could be his last. and when he finally did get some semblance of a childhood, he knew it wasn’t real. his name wasn’t his own and he lived knowing his brothers’ wanted to die.

(and the first william, who was a child right until the end. poor, spoiled, cruel william, whose childhood was ripped out from under his feet as his brother stabbed him and his house burned around him. william who was never mourned because the only people who knew he died hated him too much to care.)

This was made a bit ago. But I thought it was nice and still like it.

[skunkes]

the thing abt the surgery is that yes I do get litle moments of being ecstatic it finally happened but also I just feel Normal now. like my base state for all my life up until last week was worry, horror, and panic when i'd occasionally remember the very unwanted thing my body was capable of, spiraling into what ifs on potential conflicts in my life and future... and now i just feel Not Stressed Out All the Time. Normal.

[xitsensunmoon]

I'm really grateful for all of your support. Really.

The possibility of being misunderstood and harassed even more by my own followers was something that I've considered happening, as it has happened before. But I'm glad I was wrong. I feel much more confident and safe knowing that there's no judgement for me trying to protect myself.

Thank you all<3

When driving in the winter, Billy will get upset about the windows fogging up so he'll blame it on Stu's breathing and force him to get out of the car, buy candy from the nearest store, and then come back to the car so they can drive back with Billy still complaining about the fogged up windows, but now with snacks

Spent a good chunk of this weekend on the train and to pass the time I painted some of Sanctuary’s tools too! Eddie is such a good blacksmith you guys, his paws can get a ton of detail in there~

Pro tip (given as I try very hard not to rip out my hair in frustration)

If you're trying not to inconvenience somebody, don't make changes for their sake without asking them first.

If you need to change plans (even at the last minute!) for your own sake, that's fine. Communicate your needs as soon as you can. Most of the time people will be totally cool with that.

But if you're doing something for somebody else that would change their plans, they absolutely need to be involved in that conversation before the change happens.

For context:

My mom needed me to take her to the airport, I said sure. So I talked to my boss, rescheduled some meetings, changed my routine to come in to work early and leave late so I could duck out midday to drop her off.

The morning of, she told me that her neighbor had agreed to drop her off instead.

On my end, 95% of the effort and inconvenience had already happened-- but now it had all been for nothing.

This is an extremely mild example-- typically it ends with panic attacks and meltdowns.

In my family there's an impulse to be as unobtrusive and accommodating as possible, to the point of causing exponentially more stress for everybody involved-- and every single time, that ramped up stress is most extreme for the person they're trying to accommodate (who was, without fail, never actually consulted).

If you're trying to help a person, they need to be involved in the conversation.

To everyone with Rapture anxiety, I just woke up from a dream where I tripped the lead angel playing the trumpet, ending the whole thing so it's no longer an issue. You can rest easy now
