I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

So Chuuya shooting Dazai is just a fake out death, the bullet didn’t kill Dazai immediately because he was still talking, there is no impact crater matching the bullet shot to his head so Chuuya probably gravity manipulated the bullet, this is all still part of operation “goodbye”. Got it, I can be normal again now.

once again i am reminded why i prefer bb tumblr even if it’s less active and it’s bc people scream for “old school bb” like bb10 where michelle called libra a skank who should get her kids taken away from her but when leah is told by chelsie tucker likes her, attempts to flirt & hits a brick wall, then gets minorly petty with rubina over it (who was EQUALLY petty about leah) people are like “she’s a jealous hag you have to be a hater to like her” YEAH I AM A FUCKING HATER AND YOU ARE TOO SO WHATS HAPPENING HERE EXACTLY

is it just me or is bioware spoiling way too much about the game . talking about gameplay improvements is one thing but revealing story and companion arcs seems very insecure to me bc now the mystery is gone when people play for the first time . seems like they're trying too hard to prove that their game isn't garbage after that first trailer but this is not how you do that

“do the hardest task first”

no. just… no.

hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.

like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.

if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.

I think the reason people have so much nostalgia for 80s and 90s Barbie--even collectors who were too young to have actually had them--is the material and tailoring of her clothing was better than on modern Barbie.

If there was a giant tub of 80s Barbies and a giant tub of modern Barbies and I randomly grabbed one doll for each then, yeah, I think the odds are that I would find the 80s Barbie more technically impressive.

But looking at Barbie as an entire line, something about her 80s toys feels so . . . elderly. Like an old person's conception of female beauty and fashion, as informed by southern beauty pageants.

It is completely unsurprising to me that Bratz ground Barbie's face into the dirt with their oversize feet when they debuted.

kerejean haters au?! not just keremy haters okayyyy. jeremy is insane so i won’t question how he gets around his convoluted feelings for jean but how does jean ever get over jeremy being a raven? i guess he isn’t anymore but the ravens were famously really bad to jean right? was jeremy not really involved in that?

jeremy being a raven is kevin being a raven is neil being a raven, jean spent so long in that place he can’t really avoid the fact that some of them were and are important to him. as for the second part of your question: jeremy never went out of his way to hurt jean in the nest and most of their clashes while ravens were surface level spats, but that doesn’t mean jeremy liked him either. perhaps if jeremy had been more relevant to the lineup or higher in the ravens’ hierarchy he would have been worse to jean, but as it was he wasn’t in a position to antagonize anyone, especially considering he was going through his own thing with the ravens

jeremy gets outed in the nest pretty early on, and being a sub striker with almost no court time already puts him in a position to be picked on by the others—he has to deal with a lot of ridicule pretty much from the get go, and the homophobic abuse gets worse the longer he stays in the nest. in a way him and jean were in very similar positions in the ravens’ social standing, but jeremy didn’t have the exy skill nor the perfect court title to fall back on, which means he was probably the easiest target of all for the ravens to let off some steam if they wanted to. in most cases jeremy gave as good as he got, and he stood stronger than i think anybody could in the face of relentless social ridicule, but this cost him a lot of the softness he came with and left him the joyless distrustful paranoid mess we see arrive to kevin’s doorstep in palmetto. he was only as awful to jean in the nest as he was allowed to be, which is not much when you’re even lower than he is in the raven hierarchy
