#as weird as it is

Raphie and Leos fight in 07 would have so much more weight with Dee. Sure, Raphies a vigilante putting himself in danger, but now he's a father. Depending on how Leo thinks Raph got the kid, he may assume that Dee has already lost his mother, and can't believe Raph'd risk orphaning his son like that, asking if Raphie even cares about Dee, while Raphie is furious that anyone could ever question how much he loves him.

It really would! b/c i doubt Raphie was very fourthcoming with the facts of Dee's presence in the lair, not with how pissed he is with Leo. He probably wouldn't tell him much past "that's my son. His name is Dee. You scare him and i'm kicking your shell back to the jungle."

And like, during that fight, both of them are just saying things to intentionally make the other angry, so Leo would definitely try to call him out on that. But that adds so much more fuel to the fire than Leo was expecting but, as you said, Raphie would not want to be questioned on whether he loves his kid. Because he does. It would have only been a month or two at that point (like i'm not even sure Dee would be talking by the time Leo comes back, that's how soon it would be) but Raphie Loves that kid more than life itself. how dare his absentee brother try to say he didn't.

It would have turned what was essentially a pissing contest, into something more serious.

Thank you!

Yeah, pretty much. Dee would still be pretty young by then (like Leo coming back would probably happen maybe a month or two after Dee appeared.) so they wouldn't want him involved in what was going on. Like there's a pretty big fight towards the end (not at the lair) that involves everyone (April, Casey, and Splinter included) so i imagine they would have to get Angel or someone to babysit both him and Marie when they go to said fight. I also imagine that, even though Dee doesn't exactly understand what's going on, he'd pickup on the seriousness of it and would not want Raphie to leave him behind. he would cling to Raphie until he was forced to let go and cry the entire time he's gone, only to stop when he comes back and is able to cling to him again.

Thank you!

It's funny to me that every time someone does or have a really messed up fanart of Luke and Leia in a romantic sense everyone just screams "Luke that is your sister!"

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

Elon’s being weird again. Threatening everyone on twitter for calling his weird friends weird.

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

look I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about electronics, but sometimes a plug is so big it blocks another socket, and I'm always like "who the fuck do you think you are"

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes
