i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:
You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.
You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.
You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.
You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.
You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.
You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.
You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
#pjo#hoo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#piper mclean#leo valdez#hazel levesque#frank zhang#meta#analysis#me shaking hoo: what if we actually address the interpersonal dynamics of the characters. please. please. please. please.#frank is the only person on the boat not having an identity crisis tied to another member of the crew somehow and that is FASCINATING#but also WHERE is all the interpersonal literally anything. hello. please. making grabby hands. everybody identity crisis go.#i wanna see the entire argo ii crew stumbling through trying to figure out their places and senses of self!!!!!#particularly in relation to each other!!!!! we get snippets but we rarely ever get the full thing or a resolution!!!#like. HELLO??? Piper acknowledging that her relationship with Jason is artificially sculpted in the image of Annabeth and Percy???#and that her ideals of what Jason and her can be are just that she feels like they need to be like what Percy and Annabeth have????#and thats just DROPPED COMPLETELY????#poor Jason is getting replaced twice. Leo is not his own person.#Hazel at least gets the resolution that Nico does not truly see her as a consolation prize#but Annabeth gets to be hit with the like EIGHT YEAR DELAY of learning the place she inhabits in Thalia's life is the echo of someone else#cause like. yeah she knew Thalia had lost her brother but i dont think it clicked for her until she met Jason that oh. she *replaced* him#Frank at least has some certainty about his identity in one aspect (his curse). everybody else is floundering a bit#except for maybe Percy but its kind of the camps of ''i replaced this person and it weighs on me'' versus ''i have been replaced''

Leo’s natural intuition and perceptiveness are so good and subtle but seen throughout the whole show many, many times. And it’s interesting to see how these natural characteristics of his give way to other traits of his as well.
Like, him loving twists and betrayals and surprises goes hand in hand with him being so naturally intuitive.
Canonically, he knows his fam so well he can predict how they’re going to react (knowing what state his fam would be in during the base Shredder fight, being able to trick everyone in Lair Games, knowing Splinter would fall asleep after milk and cake, etc etc etc etc), and he also knows how to predict and manipulate his enemies as well (the “salami paper”, everything with Big Mama, etc etc etc etc).
This intuition comes off as very natural, so it makes so much sense that anything that throws that off would be fun for him to encounter! Provided that the “surprise” isn’t, y’know, world ending.
Moreover, this intuition and perceptiveness also goes hand in hand with how he’s secretly more responsible than he lets on, having to remind his brothers to be aware of how they appear or what may be too much for them or who they may hurt if they’re not careful.
Lastly, and this one is obvious, but these traits are also what fuel Leo’s sense of strategy, which is displayed not only with his actions on the battlefield, but every conversation he has outside of it. After all, it’s a long game to play, to appear a certain way. The Face Man is just another strategy.
So yeah, he knows people. He knows people very, very well.
And he tries very hard to make sure no one knows him.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#which in turn makes Casey Junior so offputting to Leo#because he DOESNT know Junior but Junior knows HIM#or at least#he knows a different mask#one that Leo isn’t finished making quite yet#but that’s fine he finishes it by the end#also side note but there’s actually a tonnnn of times in the series where Leo just sorta??? knows what’s up???#imagine someone asking a question like I wonder what [insert anyone here] is doing right now#and Donnie goes to answer since he’s (totally ethically) recording everything ever but Leo just answers nonchalantly#when asked how tf he knows he just gives a punchable grin and says lol I guessed

Percy: Hey Wise Girl, did you know that I have a YouTube Series? The Mysterious-
Annabeth: The Mysterious Disappearances of Percy Jackson, I’ve seen it
Percy: Really?
Annabeth: Yeah, you’ve got several, but we’ve all got one. I was Rockabye Runaway
Percy: All of us?
Annabeth: Yep
Percy:
Percy: So Nico-
Annabeth: His is “Nico Di Angelo: Boy Lost In Time or Dangerous Fraud?,” comes from a conspiracy channel called TimeTravelersRUs
Jason: What about-
Annabeth: Whatever Happened to the Grace Family by Famous Family Misfortune, they also have one on Piper called Piper McLean: American Darling or American Criminal?
Leo: Ooh, do I have one?
Annabeth: Yeah, yours is “The Boy Who Set His World On Fire: The True Story of Leo Valdez” by Baby Criminals Dot Com, they are convinced that you’ve committed serial arson
Percy: Hazel and Frank?
Annabeth: another TimeTravelersRUs vid called The Girl Made Of Diamonds and a video by someone called True Stories From Around The Globe called Canadian Terror: The Frank Zhang Story. They both spent the entire time mispronouncing their last names
Piper: Hey I think I remember someone asking about that at school-
Percy: WAIT IS THAT WHY SOMEONE ASKED IF I WAS IN A CULT LAST WEEK?!
Leo: Hey someone asked you that too? Nice!
Frank: *sighs* I’ll talk to Chiron
Nico: How did you even let these things get on YouTube anyways?
Annabeth: In my defense, we aren’t even allowed to use technology
Hazel: I’m still confused on what a YouTube is
#I like the idea that they all have YouTube series’#they love to throw around true story a lot considering that they make up half of their bullshit#also I may or may not have gotten inspiration for this from a tiktoker so yeah#credits to them#I feel like almost every time someone makes a video about annabeth they have to squeeze the fact that she ran away at 7 into the title#Piper definitely knew about her and Leo’s but never told Leo about his cuz of the whole. y’know. arson thing#they have all been asked if they are in a cult at least once#pjoverse#percy jackson#hazel levesque#leo valdez#frank zhang#annabeth chase#jason grace#nico di angelo#piper mclean#heroes of olympus#incorrect heroes of olympus#incorrect percy jackson

if team Guardians actually wanted to be a threat, and for bans to be meaningful, theyd lock tf in and grind out echo shards in every ancient city when the border expands so they can have the monopoly on revive beacons.
#lifesteal spoilers#yes im saying this bc i want to see people dupe and go to drastic measures for the sake of reviving people ^-^#im also excited at the idea of people being intentionally targetted to be farmed off the server#im not saying i WANT redd leo or mid off the server#im actually growing attached to them#but it drags a lot of people into conflict if they are targetted#esp if redd actually invited mid to his team w subz#bc then two of subz's teammates are being hunted. surely redd at LEAST he will care abt#maybe subz will be forced to care to some extent idk#tho i dont think the guardians will lock in like that ngl /lh#i cant see it being smt mane has fun w and i think kab could but she will be gone for basically 2 weeks#so i think derap and zam or like 4c or someone else will know to try and get to them first#idk abt pentar tho does he lock in like that?

Kinda interesting to think about how even though TMNT 2003 wasn't exactly lacking for romance, none of the romantic subplots involved any of the turtles.
The closest we ever got to romance with one of the turtles was Don's one-sided crush on April and that was never going to go anywhere between her being 7-8 years older than him and her ultimately ending up with Casey.
#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt#tmnt 2003#tmnt 2k3#Speaking as someone who ships her OC with Don I personally don't mind there's no romances with the turtles#I admit that it does feel like a missed opportunity to have not given at least one of the 03 turtles a serious love interest#But at the same time the show genuinely does not suffer for not pairing up any of the turtles with anyone#Hell it may have even been to the writing's benefit to not set up Leo Raph Don or Mikey with someone

If I had a nickel for every charismatic closeted himbo who starts off as a wide-eyed hero, slides into fascism, sleeps with the hottest richest most powerful woman in the city, betrays his twink boyfriend best friend, only knows how to smash his way through problems, purposefully fucks everything up right in the moment where it looks like everyone's finally getting along, who represents a crest of crossed hammers, and is absolutely hated by the fandom, I would have 2 nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Jayce Talis 🤝 Leo dan Brock
We are so back 😌
#arcane#jayce talis#arcane spoilers#leo dan brock#all he needs to do now is lose a couple of limbs#[dances amidst the hate posts like they're confetti]#i do hope there'll be at least a good explanation next week#but for now#😌#⚒️❤️#i'm sure someone on the writing team reads joe abercrombie#the vibes are so similar#jinx losing that finger#vander has big ninefingers energy too#silco is basically my glokta fancast#and singed looks like pike#also their attention to themes & using narrative structure like symmetry & repetition to convey those themes

Magnificent Century Rewatch: One Picspam per Episode
Episode 17: The Double Joy
-My dear mother used to say "walk barefoot on earth and it shall take away all your troubles and sorrows, earth shall give you happiness and joy"
-Your mother spoke well, one can only find peace in earth. But I'm not sure if it is on earth or in it.
#the quote is a little bit silly but it adquires seriousness when you know everything that comes later#especially because it's hurrem's mother's quote from when she lived in ruthenia. when peace was possible. when she was going to marry leo#and had her future all planned. and there was stability#but the joke is suleyman's. after all becoming part of his family is what brings that ambiguity to the quote for hurrem's story#as it could be argued she never found true peace. at least for the most of her life#but also suleyman speaks in general terms here. so the quote can be extended to all the characters and in this episode of double joy it's#even more significant. because peace it's going to go sooner than later. and the signals of future ibratice problems are already there#and just as the birds are partly symbolic of that temporal peace and joy in love for hurrem the gifts the marriage gets are very important#as well#this episode is just gifts gifts gifts all around#suleyman's necklace for hatice has the tulips of the dynasty and it's something ibrahim himself recognizes could never give her#she says she's always going to have it w her. tho i don't remember seeing it too much in her tbh sdfy#in the other side ibrahim gets a lot of gifts. but the one that reminds him of his origin is his father's ofc. and he says he will always#have it with him as well. and later he gets suleyman's ring [i'm w haticehurrem. this totally looks like a subrahim wedding asfg]#which goes to remind us that he's now officially part of his family as well. he returned but he converted again. and THEN there's the table!#and taking away the politic alliance it could signify. it is venetian. his mother's heritage is there. in all the palace. and in the same#episode hurrem mentioned her mother's saying. the dynasty [or at least the most conservative side represented by ayse] it's unconfortable#the converts are not only winning more power and getting closer to the family. but they're also bringing their cultures & traditions to the#*ba dum tss* table#there's more to the whole return/convert and how it shows in the ibratice palace especially later w the statues but if i ever write about it#it deserves a post of its own ofc [and prolly someone that knows what they're talking about more than me lmao]#noo why did i write so much 😭 i should've done a separate post this is a mess to be under an already long picspam#anyways there's other significant gifts as the clock that musti likes or mahi's lucky charm for selim. and also the ones we already knew:#the ibratice gifts together 💝. and these contrast a lot with the rest because it's something of their own. when the couple was separated#from dynastic or even ibro's family. will they ever find peace again? we'll see it in the next episode [i'm lying]#maybe i should organize this in a post of its own#magnificent century#muhtesem yuzyil#mc1picspam4episode

thinking about. narukami arashi. in all her messy self. augh...
#i love her sm and its like way beyond the queen girlboss thing#i have yet to read much of her in the !! stories cuz im catching up slowly but#at least in what ive read so far. shes such a wonderful character. full of duality#shes caring shes distant shes cute and dainty she could beat your ass shes confident shes insecure shes collected shes impulsive#she wants to be loved and love as well but she knows it's painful to chase after someone... to lose people... its painful and scary...#i love how she insists on being there for mika bc she already lost someone to her self centeredness. she will reach out.#she will not allow herself to miss her friends' pain again#but also she keeps her distance... leo had to literally shake her pain out of her...#in ! even though eeeveryone is mean and transphobic she keeps smiling and doesnt push the issue#even tho it hurts her sm to be constantly invalidated...#(yes ik its a good bit of retcon shut up)#even though shes so confident in herself. she still cowers at the thought of being rejected and ostricized.#tbh i love knights in general. the overarching theme of “individualists”#but theyre all just. deeply lonely and unloved people#theyre sticking close and playing family but theyre all terrified deep down its all a house of cards...#i need to read the model trio lookback. i need little nacchan and the birth of her insane crush on the teacher guy.#(also tbh i stand by nacchan being thw most normal knights member. even her crush is Just Girlhood Things)#(like cmon who didnt know a girl who had a delusional crush on someone older. i knew like 10 girls like that#its only the child model part that makes her unusual. between a rich nobleson a yandere tsundere model#a genious lunatic composer a vampire chuunibyou guy and a child model tgirl. whos the most normal)#enstars#arashi narukami

[ cw: slight questioning of gender identity / ]
Leo learning he’s trans and having various reactions to it.
1) Uncaring - not like anything really changed? It’s like learning your blood type. Leo is Leo, that’s all.
2) Existential - how the heck did he miss this for so long??? Wait is this gonna change his perspective of gender for himself or is he overthinking things??? He’s comfortable in his own skin and all but what if he’s not, actually? Should he think about this harder? Are there other things about himself he doesn’t know of yet-?
3) Peeved - what do you mean he could have had sick long claws and a cool long tail?
4) Relieved - WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE COULD HAVE LOST HIS STRIPES???
#rottmnt#rise leo#trans leo#trans leonardo#rottmnt headcanons#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#I think Hamato ‘Face Man’ Leonardo would be relieved to have dodged the bullet of losing his awesome stripes#but the claws would have been cool…#May draw at least the latter two points together haha#I debated including existential there but like#in this scenario I think most people would have a moment where they start questioning everything#just to reaffirm themselves#I’ve seen people mad that we take into account the turtle’s turtle characteristics for headcanons like this#and I can understand the reasoning#but eh as someone who leans toward masc terms on most days I like thinking about it#it means a lot to me that - however accidental - a character I love could be readily argued as trans

i've fixated on the sticks for the past 7 months and i also just finished watching the first half of rottmnt s1 and also the movie, and i have come to the following conclusion:
this venn diagram is almost completely just straight-up a circle
#rosie babbles#sticks#rottmnt#animator vs animation#animation vs minecraft#red-coded brawler in a friend group of fighters who'd rather goof off and have fun but are more than capable of stepping up to save the day#questionable father figure whose past may or may not bite them all in the ass#has a kickass bestie who isn't really like them but can easily hold their own and may or may not be capable of uh. big laser blast.#(april would make it happen somehow i believe in her)#lives somewhere out of the way of 'normal' society#loves teensy weensy animals#the moment someone messes with the besties It Is On Fucking Sight#got possessed and forced to fight and nearly kill the besties once#canonically died in at least one timeline but through the power of Fuck You they're still kicking to this day#yellow-donnie parallels and the parallel conglomerate of blue-green-mikey-leo#are also bouncing around my head like a mach speed windows screensaver#it's 1:20 AM. help lmfaooooo#8:30 AM edit: OH I FORGOT ONE AHSJAHZHAHAA#they have also both been within a massive duplicate of themself controllable by their own movements and have used it for good at least once#tmnt

New rockcandy thought that I Need to turn into a drawing one day: Sora vs Leo's school bullies
I know he doesn't exactly have any (unless you wanna count that one kid he strangled for badmouthing Jack), but tonight I am incredibly amused by the mental image of Sora going up to some kid that'd been messing with Leo and traumatizing them by telling them he'd turn their soul into a trading card and put it through a paper shredder if they don't leave Leo alone
#hes Mostly reformed by this point but if you mess with someone he cares about he absolutely will not hesitate >:)#'good news leo! that boy wont be bothering you anymore c:' 'really? howd you get him to back off?' 'i just had to ask him nicely c:'#terrifying cutie that the other children fear but at least leo likes him#yugioh arc v#yugioh 5ds#sora perse#sora shiunin#leo 5ds#rua#rockcandyshipping

beyond figuring out what an oc's actual title would be, I think it is fun to determine what title pieces they'd be drawn to using... How they'd describe themselves, what they think is funny. Sometimes along the way you find out who would use the head suffix for nefarious purposes.
#prince talks#Eight's selection has a lot of title pieces about nature... about being someone who is loved... of being fairly happy#She's also got like. Retro vintage arcade-hopping dance machine. Cuttlegear model.#And of course '[person she's legitimately close to and knows in real life] fan'#Three's selection is relatively brief. she has a few things talking up her abilities but then she's also got like. dead tired.#She'd make her title part-time part timer. it would amuse her greatly#she is the most willing to use titles that are a little less positive. reckless. procrastinating. So-Called.#but also unyielding. unwavering. dutiful. I think her main title would be The One and Only Agent 3#(which gets funny considering. Leo. but they both kind of think of him as Neo Agent Three (separate thing from Agent 3))#so it doesn't register to him. or to Three. Also to be fair to Three she IS the one who is using Three as a name.#Artie talks themself up a lot and also has a sense of humor. they use things that are funny to them.#They also have a lot of Dualie related titles. And Marie fan (<-knows her personally).#oh fuck they could make low-tide inkantation... they would (<-tide goes out/tidal rush is VERY important to their story mode)#(arguably even moreso than the calamari inkantation . because something something splatoon song magic power of music)#Leo has by far the least titles and most of his are dead factual. He does describe himself as both little and new a lot

wait what happened with pissditching? im p sure you talked abt them in an ask response but i never understood what happened...
basically pissditching is friends with revengeromance and girlgerard (both of whom i dislike atp*) i said something in the tags of a post abt how i was pissed at revengeromance for something (unrelated) and pissditching found it and lowkey harassed me and several friends over it and said some real fucking weird shit to me so i blocked them (and probably said something snarky abt them on main but i dont really remember)
*i dont personally like these two users bc they (specifically gg) are the forefront of call gerard way nothing but she/her and i think thats fucking weird 🙂 personally. so i have them blocked and don’t interact with anyone around them at all.
#so in the tags of a random post i mentioned leo. so like. what was pissditching doing on my blog huh. i know but i dont want to get that far#into it honestly. at least publicly. but i know what they were doing lmao#do i make an ass of myself on the internet at times for reminding ppl someone’s prns? yeah probably. jokes and affection can be okay#but every. fucking. time. is so fucking weird. and gross. at least to me but what do i know. anyways#theres two ppl in that circle who i really hate enough to not mention here.i have nothing neutral to say at all. neither are gg or pd.#anyways this is also why i don’t interact with most of the fandom anymore its just so exhausting#ppl say that sort of shit to g. and as a qnc/queer person it just gets to me yk#btw im not posting this to “start drama”. dont even. the “gender wars” are such bullshit it’s embarrassing#crimson answers#crimson speaks#reportinglivefromsoda#the jester#the flunkies

Soo ... with mutant mayhem promo art, seems that Leo would have a crush on April... ya know what compared to their ages the turtle (12-14) and April (17?) I aint that worried.
At least this time its not his long lost sister.
Also it most likely will be like dipper with Wendy and eventually blow over in through time.
And through out the outslaught hate of April's character design At least SOMEONE appreciates her!!
#mutant mayhem#tmnt mutant mayhem#teenage mutant ninja turtles mutant mayhem#my post#also if casey ever comes in the picture plz dont be like 2k12 tmnt#at least have someone be oblivious to their feelings as tunning gag/comedic relief#tmntmm leo#tmntmm april
