Hey like. I know equality and trying to be morally correct is kinda at least a portion of the tumblr user's thing but. You do gotta understand that if you're trying to be better than literally any person that could even remotely qualify as 'morally incorrect' you gotta stop fuckin policing people when they do something.
See, the fun thing about policing people is that it pigeonholes them into that behavior because, shocker, the views and opinions of others around someone can affect them in so many fuckin ways, especially if you have a platform and start talking about this person to your audience without the proper precautions.
This doesn't mean you cant criticize actions of people you don't agree with, or that you have to accept every single person you meet. you can talk with someone, and kindly disagree with something they do, but it's also important to learn why they do it, as it can help us stay close and hoo boy are shared bonds between people a powerful thing. Literally its probably the most important thing to try and gain, a good number of good reliable connections can form a safety net and help you when you struggle.
But even if you get along, there will always be some arguments and disagreements, but sticking through those rough patches will only strengthen already unbreakable frienships.
Listen anyone can be your friend i promise, even people you usually aren't interested in talking to. Just give it time and understand when you may need to approach things differently, but also make sure to understand your limits. There are some people that may not have your best interest in mind.
This post has drifted from talking about policing to friendship but anyway. I get there are a lot of people that often criticize media that makes friendship into a power, or it often saves the day to just talk. And i get it, it doesn't always work at every turn and sometimes you don't have time or resources to work it out, or the other person wont listen. Sometimes the problem is bigger than just people (cough cough america cough cough). But also 1/ shut the fuck i think we need MORE shows about peace and love on planet earth and 2 you'd be surprised just how well being neutral and understanding of someone as they are can help you form a bond with someone and just how powerful that bond can be. Like i dunno man if you really hate the show about being nice and how cool it can be you might actually wanna consider trying to get some real kind friends who treat you well and are understanding. Or also stop using said criticism as an excuse to mask your racist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic/alltheotherphobias and actually just say that you hate the show because it has a group of people you don't like portrayed well. Like the least you could do is not twist the truth so hard it makes your interpretation of the media look like a kaleidoscope of shit, im sure so many people would rather you be honest and admit you just fuckin hate people than to hear theres another asshole masking and lying about their intentions of being a dick.
one of my favorite things abt dipcifica is that dipper is confident around pacifica unlike how she acts around other girls… leaves so much opportunity for pacifica to be the one who’s frazzled/easily embarrassed in their relationship :] even though we all know they're both a mess by virtue of how awkward growing up is.
Phil: I can fetch you cheese, hold on, lemme just say this before I go– and it definitely will not annoy you at all– what if you guys went on a date together flying through the sky?
Pac: Wow, that would be magical! Do you think I can manage to do something to make Fit fly as well?
Tubbo: Every second I lose the will to live a little bit more.
[Phil and Pac laugh]
Tubbo: I wish Sunny never brought me back into this world. Hell was better than this.
Pac: [Ignoring Tubbo] Me… Fit… the clouds… the stars…
another detail for bugliker shuro: in the chapter 60 cover, his succubus is falin with insect wings & legs! a little reminiscent of laios's tbh...
Oh my god you’re RIGHT…
Even at the most mosquito-like we see them be in canon they only have wings and hair-like antennas, not this full fit with collar and extra legs… The wings don’t look the same… Oh my god Toshiro’s ideal is a bug wife
Small but significant character moments that I actually really adore are from both the times we see the boys as tots. There is a reoccurrence that happens in both of them that I find so incredibly interesting.
For the turtle tot short, Splinter leaves the boys with weapons. In the short, Raph is the one who suggests they do “what Lou Jitsu would do” and Leo is the one who takes point when Splinter comes back to reprimand them. Leo, in taking point, is the one to defend them and get Splinter off their tails.
And then, in the flashback regarding the Kuroi Yōroi helmet, Raph is the one who grabs and throws “Skully” as a way to replace their missing ball which breaks it into pieces, but Leo is the one who speaks for the group and rushes into action to fix the teapot.
I love this for multiple reasons, but the biggest are how it shows that Raph has always been inclined toward the bold and fun and making the plans to include his brothers in what he loves and believes they’d love, whereas Leo has always been inclined to be the “Face” of the group and shoulder the attention even if it’s potentially negative all while coming up with on the spot attempts to fix the situation.
