actually genuinely depressing that when people write april's mom as an actual character she's just kind of a one note Good Caretaker Mom... and like i know why this happens (let the the mammy trope dieee) but i still think there's a lot of untapped potential. im not saying she has to be a BAD parent but there are infinitely more interesting things you can do with april and her relationships with her parent(s), especially because she's WROUGHT with insecurity and is shown to develop a close bond with splinter, who she seeks out approval from, not to mention the absence of her likely working parents is so loud despite it never being mentioned as a reason for her issues, really.

april can take on the front of confidence because she's excitable and courageous but she is so deeply insecure. her being so tenacious despite that doesn't negate it. she notices how she doesn't seem to get along with other people and desperately desires balance between her love of the weird and her need for normalcy. april will work hard to fit in and she'll never succeed (also i really do relate to the fact that the one "friend" she has at school before likely sunita is kind of a creep that she doesn't like, can we talk about that more), and she does seem to find it frustrating that her only actual friends dont understand how that feels. being in the in-between point. wanting the best of both worlds and not truly fitting in either.

i think these are problems that can come with having a bad social life at school even with great parents, but unintentional emotional neglect due to being working class would be interesting, and parallel with splinter in a really fascinating way (+ they do say she has parents but i do prefer the idea of her having a single mom, more to be done with that. maybe they're divorced? that'd add something).

actually april's dynamic with splinter is really unexplored in the fandom because i do think there's a reason she finds his approval so validating,,, i think april's strong personality is mistaken for genuine confidence when it's really not.

SHE THINKS SHE'S A FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#personal #im just having april thoughts today i think #also pet peeve but i think the reason people write april's mom like that is this belief that they *need* a mom? like the turtles do #and although i dont necessarily agree with the take that rise is about found family #(its a theme that pops up very late and the whole thing with mikey and draxum and ''he created us so we have to give him a try''-#-feels like nuclear family propaganda. draxum is analogous to a blood parent there. and i think its a harmful message and mikey was wrong)#(there's a case to be made with april and the caseys but its not explored in-depth at *all*)#people WANT to include those themes more in fanwork which i think is a good thing #but i think when you're making it about *found family* it shouldn't mean *nuclear family*#who says they ''need a mom'' anyway? they have a perfectly okay dad and they have each other!#maybe if you want to write her in a way that's more flatly good she can be a mentor or friend but she doesn't have to be a MOM #its honestly also why i kind of hesitate to be like Yes April is Their Sister they're Basically Biologically Related #because family shouldn't mean Nuclear Family #and ''like a brother to me'' doesn't have to mean ''MY ADOPTED BROTHER''#i do like when people give her a sibling dynamic for the record! but i feel like a lot of people use it to reduce her to Big Sister #which is also the mammy trope. and i have issues with that #i think i would have written some parts in cc differently with april atp for that reason #like i actually do think we should be more socially conscientious about how we write april. but that's just me

Imagine you're Mr. Wu and your weird gay daughter runs away in tears after destroying some unespecified object while yelling about you ruining her life. Because you told her you'd be moving to another state. This is the last time you see your daughter in half a year, and when she comes back, she comes back... wrong. She's wearing a light leather armor, a fur-lined cape, and a green flower crown. She has two long scars, one alongside her spine and the other along her chest, the tissue around them covered in burn scars. Doctors say she shouldn't have survived. Doctors say she didn't. Yet she's right here, in front of you, hospital gown clinging to her small, fragile, trembling frame. She fidgets with her hands. Getting her to stay still has always been difficult, but now it seems impossible. She won't let go of her phone. She's always texting her two friends. When you take it away, she gets anxious. You always knew those damn phones cause kids to act weird, but your kid having a panic attack seems too extreme, even for her. Then again, she's always been odd. Nowadays, she wakes up crying and screaming almost every night, and you realize she's been stealing her phone from your bedside drawer every night to text her friends, returning it before you wake up. You catch her once and decide to give her that damn phone back. It's the only thing that calms her down, as if she were a baby with a pacifier. She spends her last weeks in LA clinging to her friends, having sleepovers and playing her weird board games with them. Everytime they drop her back at her house, there's an excessive amount of hugs and tears. But the moments when they call her, or when she leaves to meet with them, or when they show up at their door to pick her up... those are the only moments in which you see her happy. One of her friends, the rude and disobedient one, came back with a big scar on her face. She's been acting a lot nicer, though. The other one too. She acts a great deal more adult now. You doesn't know what happened or where your daughter went. She won't tell you. But you can tell this friendship is the only thing keeping her afloat right now. Maybe you know, deep down, that no one else would understand.

And then you decide to move anyway because fuck her amirite

#amphibia #marcy wu #my posts #so like what if marcy moving away was a proper tragedy #what if things were WORSE for her #what if *smashes marcy with a ROCK*#i realized that.#despite my parents being shitty (just found out literaly today my mom had doctors give me the wrong treatment because she assumed my body #would react the same way as hers. instead of doing what literally every doctor told her to do. now i need to get it fixed)#they still asked me how I felt about moving away to a different province when in like. 8.#like. oh right. this is something parents generally ask their kids about. instead of uprooting their entire lives out of nowhere.#marcy's situation is complicated in a narrative sense because #in order for her arc to work her departure must be dictated by morally neutral forces outside of her control #but her parents' decision seems very shitty with the context we're given. you COULD give context that justified their actions #i.e have them explain that they really do need this if they want marcy to go to college or some shit like that #but then it stops being Marcy vs. Forces of Nature #and it becomes Marcy vs. Her Dad (and she has to accept he's right in this one)#the show is clearly for a Marcy vs. Forces of Nature conflict (in this case it's the inevitability of change)#and in order to keep the antagonistic force abstract you CAN'T have her dad be a proper character #BUT. as a consequence -> Marcy has to give into the ''#the ''natural order'' which would be accepting her parents' power over her as natural and inevitable #it's not even like... accepting her parents are right or anything. just that their o #that their complete control of the situation and marcy's total powerlessness is natural and inevitable #and that's tragic! from a more watsonian ñerspective #perspective* : Marcy is sent back to her shitty parents and she just needs to learn how to deal with it away from her support system #the solution imo would have been to change the motivation behind her family moving away so that it's outside her parents' control too #it really has to be completely inevitable. i can't think of an alternative reason but it's just what it #it's what would fix this problem imo #it's a simple fix really

if i had the money i would buy one of those historical homes that are out in the foothills (the ones from the 50s through 70s that are straight up frozen like a time capsule or there’s a tiny handful of them that are from the 1800s and then have a mix of that + 50s through 70s stuff) and fix it up without making it Modern TM.

Like there was this one place that was right across the road from where I used to live & it was in an aspen grove & it had this old vintage stone pool & you could see through the windows that the interior was all original 50s through 70s & the furniture too, like completely untouched, as if people had just gotten up and left one day and never come back. The whole place & pool was completely overgrown with weeds and grass & it needed fixing up and maintenance but I’m like. begging the owners to sell it bc they’re clearly not using it. (i actually tracked them down once via the guy who boards his cows there & they said they werent willing to sell it atm (not that i could afford it either but yk) because it had belonged to family so they wanted to keep it in the family for the time being but they werent sure about what to do with it and im like. that was a couple years ago & it’s Still completely unchanged. ooohhh you guys want to sell it to me one day sooooo badly)

#like it’s SUCH a cool little place #its in great condition too despite needing Some fixing just from age #and its right in that aspen grove #so in the fall everything around it is gold/yellow w the yellow aspen leaves #and it’s in a perfect spot bc despite being very rural if you know which way to take it’s easy to get to bragg creek then to calgary #and the whole back pasture area is So nice #like it’s got a little clearing for the pasture area so theres not the same cougar concerns in the pasture either #anyway i just started thinking abt that place again today like. that place slays so hard fr #theres a handful of really cool historical homes out in the foothills #theyre just insanely hard to find bc they dont get advertised on the realtor websites #you have to either a.) find them by pure luck when ur living out there & do shit like contact the owneers via one of their pasture boarders #like i did. or b.) hear about a place by word of mouth in the area #which was the case for this other cool 1800s place we went to see once when i was in highschool #like idk thats one thing thats extra cool about the foothills 2 me is just. theres these cool hidden historical places #and you dont really get that in banff in the same way #like youre not going to randomly stumble upon a time capsule house hidden in banff national park yk #but you Can in the foothills #and also that little time capsule place had the coolest little barn on it too #like it was just a small barn but. very cool

GUUUYYUYSSSD !!!!!

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

KIMONO MY HOUSE VINYL!!!!!!

Also funny story which is that when my brother took these to the cashier he said something like "oh... Sparks... they were here one year ago"

#YES THEM BEING THERE IS EXACTLY WHY I TOLD MY BROTHER TO GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ('there' being tower records in japan)#but i find it so funny that the cashier actually remarked on that fact too #anyway. you need to know that i'm feeling so very AAAAHHHH right now. all of these are such a big deal to me #i didn't think i'd actually own KMH ON VINYL at any point #also utterly shocked about the guerilla toss CD. very exciting to have that one too #they're one of my fav bands and i implore everyone who likes unhinged and very experimental and cacophonic rock to check them out #this album (eraser stargazer) isn't the most accessible thing there is out there but i really love it #(i don't even know how to describe it properly. it's just really something to behold anyway)#the plushie is also a gift from my brother!! i'll gladly take any name suggestions for him #oh and also sparks debut album. first album that i own both on CD and vinyl as of today #it's not even that it's my fav sparks album or anything (i do really love it though and it's definitely somewhere in my top ten)#it's just that some albums feel more like they 'fit' with the vinyl format than CD in sound. to me at least #one other example of that besides this one being gratsax #ok i think that's all i have to say about this. one of the most epic hauls of my life that's for sure #OH WAIT one more thing. somewhat unfortunate actually #which is that my brother said he's pretty sure he saw a latte vinyl #but when he passed by that section again like 10 minutes later he already couldn't find it. oh latte.......#it's ok i'll have it one day. i'm really curious what went down there though. did someone really snag it in those 10 minutes???#and yes in case you're worried i did thank my brother profusely for getting me all this #and now i'm going to force him to listen to the TMBG vinyl with me so that he's PREPARED FOR THE CONCERT #that's in 3 months and that he's know about for a year and a half. ok i'm done now #goosepost

finished the equine hoof digileg mesh which I was recording for a tutorial. paused to turn on space heater before I started weight painting because it's getting cold out. tripped the circuit breaker with the space heater. realized I had not saved the entire time.

this is. not my day.

#I'm just gonna do it again I have fuck all else to do today since I can't replicate the werewolf skin bug #do I have any business making a tutorial? hell no #does anyone want to hear my voice? absolutely not #but several people have asked and god knows I need some kind of project to distract myself from the horrors of being american #and in this case it will be so much easier to do this via video #the audio quality will not be good but I promise I will at least not make a five minute intro explaining what I'm about to tell you
