Idc if they made up, what Splinter did to Donnie during demo derbie was messy and I’ll always hold a grudge against him even with his backstory

[evaglass]

Sorry, I love this show but I hate it too

[fag4dykestobin]

i, like, read steddie fics, is the thing. and i like some of them even. but the only thought that gets me through my daily perusal of the steve&robin tag on ao3 is "i hope eddie munson explodes into gore and is erased from existence and everyone forgets about him forever" on repeat

Yknow I actually hate the they (Karai and Leo) are genetically related argument almost as much as I hate the Leor@i isn't incest argument, because it feels like it just discredits adoption. The turtles became his sons because Splinter adopted them, Karai is their sister because Splinter adopted them not because they share genetics. Making it all about genetics just feels like it devalues the relationship. As if it only matters if they are biologically related.

It's why I believe that the human DNA that mutated the turtles was the pet shop worker.

I personally think Batman comics would be a lot better if Tim Drake never existed and Lonnie Machin (Anarky) was the third Robin

i woke up to several notifs from anti-endos reblogging and liking stuff from this blog so uh friendly reminder that we support all plurals and systems that aren't r@dqueer/tr@nsplural. this includes endogenic systems

while we don't typically care if people follow us who have different opinions on community discourse, if the first thing i see when i open your blog is a lot of aggressive anti-endo posting and shittalking, i'm going to block you

non-traumagenic systems and plurals are welcome on this blog

Do you think part of the reason for Hector's treatment in NFCV was because the writers did understand Hector was a parallel to Dracula, but N!Dracula is "uwu sympathetic <3 husband ignoring my last wishes and beliefs!" so of course Hector can't have same storyline as the games?

You're giving too much credit to Warren Ellis lmao. dude wanted to name Godbrand "Mathias Cronqvist" become somehow he missed that it was Dracula's human name, and you think he understood, or even cared about, Hector's narrative significance?

I can believe that the original plan for him was to slowly become the Hector we see in CoD, in the same way Alucard was meant to be perceived as younger than his SoTN self. That makes sense, in theory. While the real Hector would never consider culling as a good compromise, N!Hector displays some morals and doubts as early as episode 2: "All I'm saying is that our goals can be met without gleefully paddling in the blood of children." You can already see the contrast between him and N!Isaac, who is 100% loyal and ready to throw hands at anyone who dares to question Dracula: "No, no, no! Dracula will decide, not you. Threaten me all you like, I will die for him, if I don't kill you first. You do not question my loyalty." So this checks.

(also this is the mother of nitpicks but i hate how N!Isaac just calls Dracula by name. It's "Lord Dracula", asshole, at least be consistent with your bootlicking.)

Carmilla's inclusion threw everything off. She turned a perfectly good story of Hector slowly coming to terms with his own humanity and choosing to flee rather than become a weapon of mad slaughter, into a shitty GoT ripoff where she basically played politics and manipulations by taking advantage of the Lord's weakness to further her own agenda. And she used Hector's doubts to turn him on her side, stripping him of his agency. And then she humiliated him because look at the stronk kween as she beats the absolute shit of this weak, helpless, defenseless man. And after that, Hector derailed too much to even approach his original storyline: Ellis was too busy jerking off to his mommy fetish to care about an actual character arc, and the Deats allowed it because uhhhhh kojima already brought the horny we're just continuing her work :V

(Dracula doesn't look good either, btw, as he simply let Carmilla go after she humiliated him in front of the court and did what she wanted out of apathy because muh depression. Same for Isaac, who understood that making Carmilla happy would not be beneficial to them but went along with it because "she will stop causing mischief". No wonder Carmilla thinks all men are idiots :V oh but Hector, the only one who actually cared about unifying the squabbling generals, is the one called "a simple creature". fuck you.)

Speaking of which, it doesn't help that, as early as S2, Hector was seen in-universe as the weak link of the court. Dracula and Isaac have zero respect for him and constantly question his intelligence, a complete 180° from canon where Hector was Dracula's special babyboy favorite and Isaac was torn between respect and resentment. My questions about what the hell is he even doing there aside, I honestly don't know what was the point of that: I can see a parallel with Lenore later on, who also seems to not be very respected by her besties despite her alleged cunning, but since I doubt Lenore was in the plans, I can only see that as Ellis deciding to weaken Hector's character for... shit and giggles?

That being said. It sure is interesting how Dracula was treated as a poor grieving husband who totally deserved his happy ending with his happy wife, Isaac was given a whole speech about How Much He Has Changed and how super cool and badass and awesome he has become, while Hector, after being literally dehumanized and raped, only "evolved" by... deciding he had to bring Dracula back. And he was stopped by the ever so wise Isaac. Oh but who gives a shit about Curse of Darkness and its lore, it's just an aggressively mid PS2 game, totally irrelevant, we can mangle it as much as we want who cares about the stupid games they're old anyway hahahahahhahahaa

I used to want a pillow pet so bad, but never got one

I did buy my sibling one for Christmas a few years ago tho, and they loved it

BUY YOURSELF A CHRISTMAS PRESENT! I still have mine, I don't really use him anymore but he chills with my childhood doll and the teddy bear my grandpa bought when I was born. And if I do take a long trip somewhere I can throw him in the wash and he'll be good on the road.

Anyway, I'm giving Leo a unicorn Pillow Pet and I don't care if it's Not A Thing anymore, we can say Splinter got (stole) him one when he was younger and they were more fashionable.

Rat dad with turtols in his pockets

Was going to post this with my turtles before, but couldn't find the file wuwuwuwuu-

Anyway, here's my Splinter and his turtle tots !! :D

The poor man looks kinda ragged because I'm not very used to drawing animal characters (asides from turtles) and it's still just a concept, but I tried my best :']

Them: why don't we call out x living parent figure for letting our child hero fight a war

Me: how about we just keep our heroic children, and let them keep their loving parents, how about that?

i'm no more interested in anyone defending their want to buy and play hogwarts legacy than i am anyone wanting to play blizzard games. (although the two are not comparable, just related in the grounds of ethics of consumption.) if you're going to do it, do it; just drop your pretense of impunity

the bar is very low here. if you don't want to meet it, that's on you. not buying and playing these games isn't even a great act. in fact, in the scheme of pushback against bigotry, it is very small. it's just the bare minimum
