Watching TMNT Next Mutation Episode 7 (when I really shouldn't be but... eh.) 😅

Ramblings under the cut.

Sewer rays? OK.

Dude's riding a motorbike through the sewer. Raph just makes it look so cool he stated a trend huh?

"Do I wanna meet the NYPD? Hmm... naaahh, absolutely not!" Same Mikey, same...

Big monkey. Who is his voice actor? He sounds familiar...*

"I can't believe this! I've been dissed by a gangster ape!" Mikey bro this is like a regular Monday for you surely?

"Certified turtlefied!" Adding that to the List of Things I Can't Believe They Say

"Cops in the sewers? They don't sell donuts down here!" Raph providing the obligatory donut jokes 👍

"I dunno what you been eatin'. But I want some." Why don't they believe Mikey about the monkey dude? Like literally they are talking turtles. If anything a talking ape is less weird

These gangsters are all dressed like they're cosplaying alt- design Joker Funko Pops. Or they got lost on the way to audition to be in the 60s Batman TV show.

"We're ninja - not the Power Rangers!" Yesssssss they're crossing the streeeeeaaaamms!

Raph 'n' roll honestlyyyyyyy that's a catchphrase?? Raph buddy...

"That's team leader" 😤 Aw Don Don, you don't deserve this disrespect

"EY BAWS" hoooooo my god

"The schnooks" OK Venus.

"Battlin' crime is FUN! Heh heh I feel like Batman!" Yeah that'll be the knockoff Joker suits.

Also like... the guys are acting like they don't fight crime? But like... they fought the Foot before? And I know that was bc they were an evil ninja clan specifically but you can't tell me they weren't Doing A Crime every now and then? And that was probably why the turtles fight them, at least sometimes??

The TA DAAAAA sound effect again 👌

All the money flying out of the back of the van this is genuinely the cheesiest live action cartoon

God I love how completely done Donnie is today

Mikey that was so fruity (affectionate)

Oh that's convenient. They moved most of the gold in Fort Knox to NYC for a bit. Of course.

The turtles just so happen to be living directly under half the gold in America right now. Of course.

"Translation for the thick of skull" oof Donnie he's your brother! Or not. So you all have a free pass to hit on your sister Venus.

"I suggest big caution" Leo providing much needed representation for people who can't words good (me).

NUCULAR?? DON WTF YOU ARE NOT HOMER SIMPSON

Isn't there a super villain who's a big monkey dude? I can't remember rn and its winding me up**

Honestly these accents... I could've been a VA on this show. I can butcher an East Coast accent with the best of them

Was I supposed to be able to see that wire??

Oh no they've trapped Venus in a classic Thunderbirds episode!

No genuinely though this could be pretty exciting if it wasn't like 3 minutes from the end of the episode...

Raph is very worried. "Whadda we doo just stand around and PANIC??" He's so relatable

Aw Don...

Aw they're crying 😭 bless them

It's a good job Donnie and Venus didn't die, the other three have to share one brain cell and I'm not sure Splinter could handle that alone

The code was Donnie's birthday asdghghfgdgk

"You mess with the monkey and it gets funky" this dude is legit a Power Rangers villain

--

*IT WAS GARY CHALK! I knew I knew that voice! How's a guy get typecast as a talking gorilla, anyway? I really hope that whoever cast him did that intentionally, and if they did I hope they also know that they're a legend.

**I think I might be thinking of Gorilla Grodd??

#tmnt next mutation #hex.txt #hex talks turtles #i love this show so much it is so dumb #exactly my speed #for the record i am also a power rangers fan and a transformers fan so there was a lot going on in this episode for me #lol #why shouldn't i be watching this you ask?#guess.

He started back as quickly / And staunchly swung aside / With all the woe in the world / He turned to the wood to hide...

[a gawain for @mortiscausa's 'march to camelot,' for the prompt 'hunt']

#em draws stuff #march to camelot #arthurian things #arthuriana #gawain #sgatgk by way of love death and robots' 'fish night' I believe #caption verse is from the 1997 translation by gwyn jones - not my usual but I'm away from my print copies of everything #and going to the library either online or in person would be a whole can of worms that I don't have time for <- they're typing this at 2am #took a little while (read: 12 days) to get my brain back up and running on mtc...#I really like the style I did last year but I needed something different this year. also I can't exactly take a week off being a person #like I did last year. albeit for other reasons than speed-drawing arthuriana (it just happened to coincide with that)#during the week of pretending to not be a person mtc was the only thing I could really draw that didn't make me feel sick #but that does also mean that trying to pick up the project in the same style as last year means there's The Residue on it #anyway. Fish :) and gawain :)

Congratulations Kaos, you officially have the most accurate adaptation of Hera in 2,000 years because she is actually scary.

Edit: This post was lowkey a mistake but also I'm here for it lol

Ok so when I made this I didn't know that the writers made Hera cheat with Poseidon and I agree that is bad/inaccurate/not very demure and mindful.

I stand by my original statement that Hera screwing that one girl was good and yall can fight me on it

#kaos #“but Hera is the goddess of marriage and she cheated on Zeus!”#No Hera fucking that trick was legitimatizing the infidelity by bringing her into the marriage #literally the same way how that straight couple over there that loves your vibe is not cheating by sleeping with you #the ideas behind monogamy are Christian in nature and in ancient greece kings were allowed to have more than one wife #Hera is the goddess of marriage not the goddess of trad wives #anyway #Hera speeding up that girls pregnancy and to get the baby out of her only to then turn her into a bee #was some of the scariest shit Ive ever seen #and that is exactly the way I remember Hera from my childhood #good job kaos writers #hera #greek myth #greek myth adaptation

What’s so interesting to me about Odysseus’s transition in Monster is that he hasn’t changed all that much. He was always capable of violence and we know that because of everything he’s done in the war and in his journey. The only change that occurs is he’s chosen to no longer feel guilty, and to stop hesitating when it comes to violence.

#look my outlook is everyone always is capable of horrible things. under the right circumstances we will do violent atrocious things #that capability is in all of us. Odysseus shows that he was always capable of killing (and killing an infant!)#the fact that he feels guilty doesn’t change his actions #sure he tries to be better and be kinder but at the end of the day his efforts matter less than his actions and outcomes #right?#yes he streamlines his violence but he’s committed violence before!#when one intends to kill the speed at which they draw their sword doesn’t change the outcome #feeling conflicted about the thing doesn’t matter if you still do the thing #so in monster what he decides is to stop trying to preserve his ideals of morality #but from that his actions won’t exactly change. he’s going to kill people in the future and really that’s no different from his past #in letting go of his moral preservation isn’t he returning to be just a man? a man with no illusions of himself?#my post #epic the musical #epic the underworld saga

2024 reads / storygraph

Outdrawn

f/f contemporary romance

two cartoonist who’ve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at

they both struggle with art-related physical and mental health issues, and complicated families

#outdrawn #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #sapphic books #I thought this was decent! I liked the concept (even if I got distracted by some art related things…)#and the dynamic between the characters was good. I enjoyed their relationship development broadly speaking #and the emphasis on communication; though it was a quick flip into being together all of a sudden.#The sketchbook doodle flirting was cute. Some interesting exploration of their complicated family situations too.#There’s a lot of exploration of burnout and carpal tunnel and the dangers of artists overworking which I think are important conversations #and are done with some nuance. But it’s pretty much all discussed in the context of the personal pressure they put on themselves #rather than the industry corporate greed and artificial competition created by the comic platform - which are significant in this story!#It felt odd that that connection wasn’t really ever made?#I know that this is a romance and nitpicking the background plot is beside the point and also that I am not a big romance reader #but the premise that the comic hosting site archives everything; wipes the leaderboard; and out of nowhere has a comic competition for #new weekly chapters…I’m sorry but the art world would riot. Even if people enter because they’re desperate for the cash they’d be pissed #People live off the income from their webcomics! if they were erased (temporarily) with no notice…..there would be crimes committed istg #I simply don’t believe that it would be doable to create a new weekly webcomic with no notice while you also have a full-time comic job #(especially as the only stylistic choices mentioned are full-colour) - not to mention what happened to their 8-years-running webcomics #that were archived? they don’t think about them at all after the beginning? surely they’d care about that?#And then with their new comics they make for this competition (after work I guess) we get vague snippets about them but barely anything #- if they’re consuming that much of your time I would expect to feel like they’re thinking about them all the time #rather than the vaguest discussion about genre and cast numbers only.#I guess I just think the whole comic site stunt felt unnecessary for the plot anyway -#it would have worked exactly the same if they were just competing on the normal leaderboard with their normal comics???#anyway - I’m not judging TOO hard about all that because again I know it’s not the point and maybe the industry is like that in some place #Unfortunately it was distracting enough to affect my feelings on the book tho lol.#Lastly: the audiobook………oof. The narrators talk at different speeds; for one.#And Sage’s VA does this deeply weird raspy-anime-teen-boy voice for Noah which is such an odd choice #and doesn’t match her character at all.#unforch my library only had the audiobook (what I usually prefer) so I just had to sort of….translate the narration into a normal voice lol #anyway the romance is good tho

dude people who refuse to even look at something they disagree with is a red flag. and before this becomes a “piss on the poor” post, this isn’t about looking at things that are genuinely upsetting, or allowing yourself to fall into rabbit holes or accept into your belief system things that you are opposed to. it just means, if every opinion you have is so fragile you refuse to even glance at the opposite perspective…. like, that’s bad dude. thinking that it’s okay to insulate yourself from opposing opinions “because you’re the good guy and they’re the bad guy” or similar logic… this is assuming you already know and understand something you refuse to even engage with…. do you see the flaw in the logic?

this is gonna sound crazy but hear me out. go watch a trial. go watch a legal battle play out in court. play jury duty for a little while. actually hear both sides out. realize that it doesn’t shrink the truth to hear out both sides - it strengthens it!

Edit: i’m gonna add that i love a legitimate discussion but if you just came to the comments to be weird on my page im gonna be super weird back it’s not hard

#this is something that’s pissed me off about this site for a long fucking time #so HERES A RANT lol #I’m not kidding that i became a better thinker from getting into law #and if you read this going ‘fuck that I hate the legal system it’s against me’ you are EXACTLY who this post is about literally #and before you get mad at me - notice I never said #agree with the opposing opinion!#just fucking LOOK at it #keep an open mind but not so open your brain falls out #lies have speed but the truth has endurance #pinning this so I don’t have to keep reblogging it lol if you come to my page to send anon hate I’m gonna roast you if you don’t have #anything substantial to say

Alien Romulus was so fucking bad. Stupid garbage movie, worst I've seen in the series by far. Which is saying a lot

#it made me laugh SO fucking hard a few times tho #theres this part where this girl (the pregnant one) is running feom alien and she bursts thru a door..#only to run full speed off a ledge thats Right there in the next room. like who designed this ship why is there a death pit here???#but it played out exactly like slapstick comedy.. the timing and everytbing .. i was fucking wheezing #i cant even. i dont suggest anyone watch it bc it's too long and 99% unfun to watch for laughs #the last 30 minutes my partner and i were so exasperated like. hkw do u make such a bad movie with this premise #u have creative rights to mkst iconic alien race and u manage to make them unthreatening by the end #jfc i #am gonna be late for work

just got my learner’s permit :)

#had 30 minutes to do the test but it only took me like 5. and half of that was checking over my answers #to be fair the questions were exactly the same as the ones on the practice tests #and they’re super easy #one of the questions is just ‘what do you do if there are pedestrians crossing? a) stop b) proceed full speed ahead or c) ease through them #that last answer was the actual wording btw #mecore
