AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.

When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.

He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.

Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.

(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)

Allow me to yap about deck9, new games and shipping.

I'd like to comment on the whole Pricefield break up in Deck9's LIS DE game. Life is Strange is the game that indirectly contributed to me coming out. I cannot tell you how huge and dramatic of an impact this game had on me, the first game will forever hold a special place in my heart.

The center of why I was so attached to the game was Pricefield, specifically Chloe. I saw some of my characteristics in her, I was often left behind by my friends, I forgive very easily and I love so fast and so fierce it might scare some people off.

The dedication that chloe and Max had especially towards the end of the game was unique.

Now I know that some critics out there will point out just how fucking toxic Chloe was (being possessive, jealous, pushing Max to do bad things etc). And I should know, I had an ex-friend who was possessive and jealous so I understand where they're coming from. But that just adds more depth to Chloe's character. She's fucked up, she's a mess... And yet...

She does this. She still loves, has the capability to love after all that's happened. Plus also yeah everyone loves the blue haired punk lesbian.

But come on, the last scene where we had to choose Bay or Bae was... phenomenal. I cried so fucking hard after the Bae ending. I cried just as hard when I saw the LIS2 pricefield picture because it gave me closure. I grew attached to this couple (and chloe specifically) because of the qualities I see in me mirrored in her.

So it came as a shock to me when Deck9 said "mm fuck that" and just threw my Bae choice to trash. The duo separates. And honestly? I can live with that. I could respect that choice. This isn't a shipping war (unlike what some in the fandom might insist) this is simply another Joel Death and TLOU2 dilemma.

But to shit on Chloe? To reduce her to THIS

I couldn't believe what I read. It made me so upset that not only do they break up a duo I absolutely admire, but they also villian-ify Chloe in a way that just isn't true to her character.

Some would say "why should your opinion matter?" And to that I'd reply "It should, I am only one in the thousands of voices who belong to players that absolutely cherished LIS for ages." If our voices don't count, why even bother making a game for us to play?

I've seen people refunding. Other chose to buy the game and see how it all pans out. I can respect that. But to those who are actively harassing the studio employees??? Please grow up. Shitty game or not, in the end it's just that: a game. Sure, a game that we adore. But it ain't a cult bro. You can't harass people for just doing their jobs.

My solution? Ignorance is bliss, if you'd like to ship Pricefield fucking GO for it. I will personally reject the Deck9's mess, and keep drawing and enjoying the ship closest to my heart.

Being Hamato Yoshi

Rise Ramblings #742

Splinter goes by many names.

Lou Jitsu is the name he used while clawing his way to fame in a cutthroat industry.

Hamato Yoshi is the name he was born with, a name that represented the Hamato legacy and the expectations of his family.

Then, when he found himself broken, mutated, and homeless, Splinter is the name that he took upon himself as he was now just a broken splinter off the once mighty Hamato family tree.

At that point in life Splinter was content with wallowing in his disenfranchisement and grieved over what once was and what would never be. The television became a comfort and a means to soothe his all-encompassing depression (as discussed in “What they Became.”)

Nonetheless, slowly but surely, something began to draw his attention away from mourning himself and his past life.

That “something” was his sons.

He falls into his role as a sensei simply enough (between cake, naps, and a commercial or two, of course.)

But, in due time, something within him changes as well.

It’s hard to tell when that change happened but the former ways of the Hamato clan eventually and intrinsically unearthed itself.

The same way that his grandfather pushed the Hamato legacy onto him is the same way that he ultimately pushes that legacy onto his sons.

But history repeats itself. Just like he did, his boys also buckle under the pressure of their family name.

This time, though, Splinter learns from the mistakes of his elders and apologizes, thus becoming the accepting and accommodating parental figure he needed all those years ago.

Likewise, over time, he begins to find a new purpose. His unique experiences have left him with a specific type of wisdom, a wisdom that only comes from being Lou Jitsu, Hamato Yoshi, and Splinter.

Therefore, instead of looking within, he begins the altruistic work of looking outward in order to help his family, friends, and the people he cares about the most.

With his healthier state of mind, he is finally able to move on and look forward at the brightened path of his future, their future.

By being Lou Jitsu the superstar, Hamato Yoshi, the carrier of the Hamato legacy, and Splinter the lowly rat, he finds himself with a new name, yet it’s his highest honor to date and is a name that can only be earned...

He’s their Dad.

“You have been a bad friend to Riz Gukgak Adaine” the way I SCREAMED

[starrywilliams]

guys i think we need to start having a conversation about pet names in fics because it is really quite off-putting!

no abby would not call you ‘mama’ or ‘honey bun’ or ‘sweet pea’ or ‘darling’ or anything of the sort! i know it is fiction but if you want to write self-insert fanfic about what you like being called please make that clear so i don’t have to feel like i’m talking to an old woman mid fic :/

rant over ! not attacking anyone simply speaking my truth…

[incognit0slut]

same dog i wanna lick him too

[vanmarkus]

Lou Ferrigno Jr you are the man for me

[gothboyboogie]

Thinking about fabian coming home after The Last Stand in the middle of the night.

thinking about fabian, exhausted, even more traumatized, fresh scars from a harrowing battle. his body aches. hes dehydrated and angry and sad and scared because he is a teenager. His classmate got murdered in front of them.

The other bad kids come home to their parents and family. theyre greeted with love and fuss and worried looks. a warm meal, hugs, love.

Thinking about how theres no one there to comfort him.

Thinking about his giant, messy, cold house that hasnt felt like home in months.

theres no one to vent to about the horrors he saw, no one to brag to about how he aced the test with his friends and were the first to beat the Last Stand.

no one to tell him theyre proud of him, or how he did such a good job. no one to congratulate him on acing his sophmore year. no one to fuss over him, ask if hes ok, make him a warm homemade meal and tuck him in to bed again like when he was a kid.

theres no one.

he gets a glass of milk and falls asleep in his parents bed thats slowly losing their smell.

.....calling lfj homophobic for not doing the makeout, but if he had they'd be bitching that buck's first kiss with a guy was sexualized..

[aaronsinferno]

Thinking about how it’s never too late in life to build genuine connections with people. You don’t have to know someone for years for them to make a significant impact on your life. Also, your life does not end after 30. Life does not end after 30. You could meet your best friend at 37 or 40. You can meet the love of your life at 60. Yes, I’ve only known you for four months, but after the time we’ve spent getting to know one another, the idea of being around you everyday brings me so much joy and comfort, and I can’t wait to get to know you better as a friend/partner.

This is the real world. This is reality.

[pinkdreamcollectorsworld]

You know what?

I hope the writers decide to say fuck you to the haters and give us the hottest 10 minute bucktommy makeout scene to ever exist in 911 history. It's what we deserve 😌
