i think about splinter walking in on the aftermath of caged lungs a lot
#canary continuity#rottmnt#like#pov: you are splinter. you have spent the past few months feeling Off#theres this odd air in your home that you cant place and some distance from your sons again#but you trust their independence and you tend to wane in and out again already#and theyve all been encouraging you to go out there and get a social life!!#even before the curse you dont know about yet theyve been nothing but supportive#maybe a bit pushy lately. but you think theyre just happy for you#teenagers are rebellious. youre sure theyll use your absence for shenanigans but thats a part of being a teen#so you go for a night out.#its a break from the odd tension youve felt#you come home feeling relaxed. lighter. youre smiling to yourself as you walk back into your home#for a moment its quiet and you can just breathe in the comfortable silence#and then you smell blood. not the faint clinging tang of it youd smelled for a few weeks and dismissed. FRESH blood#your veins chill with panic. dread prickles down your spine. you run towards the smell#and then you hear your oldest sons SCREAMING.#both of them dont scream like donnie and mikey do. they SHOUT a lot. they dont SCREAM#they dont scream like their souls are being torn out of their chest. not like that#(for a moment you freeze. and all you can think about is torn flesh and the snap of bones. cheering. blood caked across your bruised fists.#and then the panic hits you at once and you BOLT#and you walk into the culmination of fifteen years of your careless mistakes.#and nothing is ever the same again

maybe i'm swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here but as an aroace person, i think it's kind of messed up to say that levi is canonically aroace now
yes, he said that he doesn't care about people and that concepts like empathy, compassion, and love are unfamiliar to him. but attraction is not the same as any of those words. i get that people may want to headcanon him as aroace (especially since we don't get a whole lot of representation in the first place), but to insist that it's canon feeds into stereotypes about people with low empathy and aroace people alike
#i have a lot of anecdotes about this but i didn't want this post to be too long#again there's absolutely nothing wrong with HEADCANONING it#because some people with low empathy/personality disorders/etc do consider themselves aroace because of their condition#but at the same time other people with those traits DO experience attraction and can be in relationships#so to see a character with low empathy and immediately assume they MUST be aroace feels like it feeds into harmful stereotypes#along with the ever-present issue of most ace rep being people who aren't 'normal' or straight up inhuman#also just to be petty: i think if the dev intended for levi to be aroace he would have been on the confirmed sexuality list#drdt#levi fontana#danganronpa despair time

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.
Kamala 2024!
If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.
But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.
#personal#answered#anonymous#i mean let's be clear here no president is gonna attempt to be progressive ever again within my lifetime#because joe biden tried to do like 25% of that and got ZERO fucking credit#he did so much on healthcare on reform on loans on so many social issues and for all his litany of failings on i/p#he has been distinctly harsher on netanyahu than a good chunk of dems and certainly the entire republican party#for the first time since i was four we are not involved in any wars as americans and that is thanks to joe biden#but the thing is that he gets no credit for any of it!#him pulling out of afghanistan caused his approvals to tank in a way that never recovered#and leftists gave him FUCK ALL for it#they gave him nothing they just continued whining that even tho he cancelled a bajillion in student loans#he didn't actually cancel a QUADRILLION dollars so both parties are the same and voting is the most arduous task known to man#no democrat who is running is going to forget that catering to leftist/progressive policies gets them zero leeway with those supporters#that it not only tanks numbers but you still get constant haranguing about it anyway#so they're not gonna do it#we are gonna get fuckall for at least a good fifty years#and anything we get will be utterly in SPITE of people like you anon it will happen in spite of everything you've done#mostly because of people like me and mine who understand that voting is the bare minimum#and that for the democratic process to work the way you want it to you need to participate and not pitch a fucking fit#like a four year old who was told they can't go to disney this weekend#like i know you ratfuckers are happy this played out because this is all a game to you and you don't actually care#but that's why i've got zero faith in you people and why i'm glad it's my kind of folks#actual die hard democrats who have always been hardliners for supporting democrats in every possible election#who are picking up the slack and donating to harris and supporting her agenda#which is the exact same as biden's because she's his vice president and they share they same platform#because that's what they were both running on! twice!#anyway fuck you please feel free to find a necktie and test how tall your doorframe is

bruce “piles my entire moral framework onto dick’s shoulders and blames him when either one of us buckles under it bc i know deep down he’s the only one that’ll forgive me for it” wayne
#i was half-coherently thinking about that scene when bruce and dick are beating the shit out of each other after dick’s “death’’#and also that line where dick’s like: bruce…nothing can be same btwn us ever again#and i KNOW this is bc of shitty writing but the way that statement was proved laughably false by#their dynamic snapping back to exactly what it was#(i haven’t read taylor’s nightwing run)#and those thoughts somehow led here#no alfred doesn’t count. rn i can’t articulate why but i may be able to if you ask me in the morning. but he doesn’t qualify for this#bruce wayne#batman#dick grayson#nightwing#dc

if u start a sentence saying “omg I love 13” I’ll love u forever and you’ll be my bestie. That’s a no-brainer.
But if u keep going saying a “but” you really lost me. Like sh sh sh I don’t care about your buts your opinions about that doesn’t matter here.
#if I ever hear a but again after saying I love 13 I’ll fucking end it#No I don’t care if u have the same opinion as the internet#go with your life#you like her good#you don’t well that’s too bad#find me a criticism that was never said before and I might actually listen to u#nothing about Thasmin or chibnall or Jodie or sacha or or or#i heard everything#your opinion about that don’t matter here#IN A BLOG WITH A 13 PFP#thank u#doctor who#dr who#sasa rambles#13th doctor#thirteenth doctor#jodie whittaker

this ace and sanji parallel of feeling undeserving of love, your honor
#they have the same flavor of mental illness your honor#those were ace's last words in marineford#remembered marineford again feeling like im being shot in the chest with an assault rifle besties#this is why you need to love your children because lack of parents' affection leaves a gaping hole that nothing else can fill#and the result is self-sacrificial self sabotaging self loathing personalities like ace and sanji#men like sanji be like I'M INDEBTED TO EVERYONE I MET#boy do u ever fucking think that YOU are the blessing in THEIR life? im abt to bitchslap them both#also mental illness aside ace and sanji fucked in alabasta btw#one piece sanji#black leg sanji#vinsmoke sanji#sanji#portgas ace#one piece ace#portgas d ace#ace#marineford arc#marineford#whole cake island#whole cake arc#whole cake

Thinking about Nie Huaisang post-canon quite frankly haunts me
#that feeling when you spent years planning a revenge plot to avenge your dead brother who was your only living family#and now your revenge is complete but your brother is still dead and you’re still alone#and now you don’t even have the revenge plan left to keep you busy#and sure some of your closest friends are alive but they’re not the same people they were when you were kids and neither are you…#nothing will ever be right again no matter how hard you try#guys I promise I’m totally normal about nhs :)#the grandmaster of demonic cultivation#mdzs#the untamed#nie huiasang#nie mingjue#jin guangyao#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#mxtx#briar.txt

i cant think about exile conflict/arc era cclingy for more than 20 seconds at a time or else i start decomposing
#my post#do you ever think about how they were furious with each other. how much they missed each other. how they couldnt tell each other that.#how when tommy came back when he was ALIVE one of the first things he said to tubbo was 'youre a monster'#'the discs were worth more than you ever were.'#'i dont think thats a possibility anymore.'#how they looked at each other for a long moment after the festival chaos and said not tonight. i cant do this tonight. ill see you tomorrow#do you ever think about how they fought side by side and protected each other like nothing had happened at all#do you think about how afterwards they started talking again and it wasnt the same and it never would be the same but they were TRYING#they were TRYING#o(-(

the way that diff languages sound r so fascinating they're all different and all so vivid
#russian is like the surface of a feather like it's light but not exactly “soft” but still very delicate#german is . cute ? i think it's adorable . it has a lot of momentum it makes u wanna talk fast and talk a lot#like it's squishy . sleek surface w a soft inside#thai is like song . it's like interprative dance or maybe a trust-fall . everything follows from the previous thing#it feels like a little fairy flying up and letting itself fall and flying up again and so on (for fun). its so beautiful but also playful#mandarin chinese is like . idk why but it gives me the same vibe the concept of Observation does . like to read and to see and absorb#and then to translate that into smth else . like . imagine a poet people watching or an artist preparing a canvas w practiced hands. thats#the vibe. soft and elegant and musical but like...in a way that feels lived-in. arabic feels wise ? like music or poetry u read#and feel nothing about then years later u stumble on and it applies to everything in ur life. that kind of vibe. like it knows more than u#and itll make sure ur heart and soul grows as big as its lexicon . polish is like snowflakes falling . it has the feeling of complexity and#elegance but it's also so so light and slippery and...maybe not elusive but the feeling of losing a dance partner in a waltz ? like fun and#light but also an underlying elegance and somberness still . turkish is like the feeling when u get a text from ur crush#and your heart tightens and you cant tell if it's really painful or really amazing . it feels like unrequited love . or a caress#or making out with someone when you know its the last time you'll see them. its beautiful in a yearning longing way#korean is like joking around w ur friends and you've stayed up until like almost 5 AM and youre so delirious that everything is funny#and ur speaking kind of lightly and openly and everything you say holds a lot of weight and doesnt matter at all. you laugh at everything#and youre practically talking in inside jokes and watching the sunrise together . one of them hits u on the shoulder lovingly. ur by a fire#yoruba feels like the metatheory of the matatheory . abstraction until it circles back to intuition or maybe#it feels like plotting the route of a comet or maybe like the soft warm whirr of statistics. trying to verbalise beauty somehow#when you know the best thing you can show it is by telling everyone just look!! look at the sky just look!#anyway yh i think i could do this for every language ever tbh

When Machete became a cardinal, did his parents ever recognize him?
Machete's home village was on the other side of Italy (and separated by the sea no less) and it was small, relatively rural and remote. It's very unlikely many news about Holy See's happenings made their way there. I don't think his parents had any reason to expect to ever hear about him again, he seemed to be somewhat of a lost cause when they dropped him off.
#to my best understanding class divide was so immense you'd be very unlikely to ever encounter a single bishop in person let alone a cardinal#and people didn't move around like they do now chances are you'd die in the same town you were born in without ever leaving it#Machete tends to stick out visually and he's an important figure so maybe he's known by word of mouth even outside of the Vatican walls#if his parents met him they might maybe recognize him but he probably wouldn't recognize them#he doesn't remember much of anything from his early childhood#he doesn't go by his original birth name he was renamed at the monastery and has essentially reinvented himself since he became a cardinal#so ties to his sicilian past are largely cut I think#social classes were very fixed and rigid I believe one of the only ways to move to a higher status was to become part of the clergy#and again you needed to be at least passably literate to do that that was the largest roadblock#Machete may be kind of pathetic but his social climbing skills are nothing short of remarkable#part of it is just dumb luck but he is exceedingly hardworking and very very good at what he's doing#it took him less than 30 years to move from a provincial foundling to pope's right hand man#answered#anonymous#Machete#Vaschete lore

Blocking every annoying fallout fan and taking away new vegas until you all learn to behave
#like im so serious i dont think ive ever been more annoyed at my dash#can you all learn to enjoy things.#every single criticism ive seen so far has been ' once again this proves new vegas is the only good fallout game'#absolutely nothing constructive#ive also seen such dogshit takes about the series as a whole like. jesus christ#i dont care if i get labeled as a bethesda shill i think you guys are just wrong about what fallouts about in general#like i think new vegas and the bethesda fallouts can both be different takes on the same thing and none of them are inherently bad

after the events of three in the morning, safe inside Athena just kinda tucked ody under her wings.
Idk why I think that but anyway it's cannon now that after ody gets thoroughly fucked Athena pulls him close and wraps her wings around him like a cocoon
yessss she sort of chirrups and coos down at him with the owl head tilting, nuzzling at him as she cleans up. she'd do it to penelope too but homegirl is practically steaming from how overheated all the exercise made her so she just goes and usually falls asleep face down on the bed until she's cool enough that athena can drag her closer as well.
in general i think athena would be there for the aftercare because I don't see post canon odypen knowing when to call it quits, which leads to both of them being absolutely exhausted and useless after the last round. she usually just rolls her eyes shakes her head and handles it all; but they both know she's awake for hours just trilling down at them and staring happily.
#sometimes one of them wake up and they murmur sweet nothings and 'how was your day's#odypenath#suggestive#odysseus#penelope#athena#pen felt guilty once and asked if she should take over but athena looked so distressed she immediately took it back “NO DONT MAKE THAT FACE#“YOU CAN HAVE MY HUSBAND HERE TAKE ODYSSEUS GET YOUR ASS OVER THERE”#athena is still figuring out being touched but till then she can at least cuddle with people she trusts when theyre at their most vulnerabl#with no expectations#“is the body fluids not... repulsive to you though?”#“no. you should have seen both of us when odysseus got his first period.”#“i still dont know how we got that much blood over so many things.”#“why didnt u go to ur. ur mom”#“we did. eventually. after athena maybe consulted the olympians in a panic”#“i dont think queen anticlea ever respected me quite the same ever again”#“to be fair we were both almost in tears and were convinced i was giving birth”#asks#odypen

The compelling thing about Jason as a character is that I never doubted that he cared about the world just because there weren’t panels of him being overly zealous about “restorative community care”
I’m not coming after anyone who wants to see that kind of stuff, but I do think seeking | that | as confirmation that Jason cares about the world is pretty narrow
#shoving an arc like that into his comics to “show he cares about people”#after having him repeatedly say things like “nothing I ever did was for good. it was all just selfish anger” in recent comics#would be the final nail in the “see! he's redeeming himself! he CAN be likable!” coffin (pathetic)#it's literally what his antis have been suggesting would make his character “so much better”#kelseethe#see also: “people would have a hard time knowing whether Jason loves them”#why did he gift Thomas' watch to Bruce all those years later + possibly even after utrh happened#why is he always silently forgiving the shitty treatment from his family almost like he wants to maintain some sort of relationship w/ them#as for “showing that he cares about the world”#the most obvious “evidence” is right there#why would he continue to fight tooth and nail to have a place in Gotham as a vigilante#both warding off and enduring harassment after harassment from Bruce while hearing the same message every time#“hey. you're doing this to yourself. you can make it all go away if you just do as I say and quit for good.”#“you'll even get to be my son again”#it’s not like he gets recognition/praise for doing what he does either unlike Bruce Dick or Tim#what could possibly be in it for him#wouldn't it be that much easier to “not give a crap about the world” on a beach in Capri instead of in the Gotham sewers every month#anyway Jason should decapitate rapists and poison more child traffickers and not cry about it five seconds after
