Don’t worry, if Cal dies in the next game Merrin will use any and all nightsister magic at her disposal to drag his ass out of the afterlife. She’s not letting get away that easy.

LOL wait good point, Merrin has the potential to be a really late healer

(commission info // tip jar!)

Greez: Can you guys at least try to see it from my perspective?

Merrin: *crouches down*

Cal: *gets down on his knees*

Greez:

Greez: I will kill you both in your sleep.

[robyn-runestone]

Okay, but I keep imagining Cal and Merrin exploring a planet and literally every time they come across a weird plant Merrin is like “I’ll pay you 20 credits if you eat that.”

Greez hates it when she does this and at some point Cere had to tell BD-1 to shock her whenever she says it, because she genuinely believes that Cal would actually eat the weird plant someday.

He knows it’s a joke, but Cal sometimes weighs the pros and cons in his head. Like this could actually kill him, but 20 credits is 20 credits.

[bexisanidiot]

Lmfao, I feel like when Mantis was like 15, Bee pierced his ears, and it was a shit show (he literally wanted them pierced)

He thought it was gonna be painless, but it turned into him fighting for his life while Bee was just trying to get the other ear so he didn't have just one earring😭

[crazyyfilmyfreak]

I know i am late but this made me cry a little 😭 Just Look how thrilled Peter was & i really did not expect he would say knowing Mantis is his sister is the greatest Xmas gift that he ever received 🥺❤️

And Mantis is also very much happy when he said that coz she now realizes all she had to do was tell him the truth that she has been hiding all these days and she didn't actually need to go thru all that trouble of abducting Kevin Baccon 💀 and she couldn't stop those tears bcoz she is finally expressing her love to her brother openly despite the trauma they both faced bcoz of their bastard dad which is the reason she had to hide this secret all these years and peter's reaction is not only cute & but its just too wholesome 😭❤ Such a short and a very heartfelt sequence Damn ... That was nice i enjoyed the GOTG Xmas Special

[toaverse]

Who do you think are underrated MCU heroes/characters?

In no particular order:

Mantis. Her story of growing up isolated, implied to have been emotionally abused by her own father Ego, and meeting before losing many of her half-siblings, before meeting and joining the guardians, is really interesting and something the films and the fandom often overlook.

Kraglin. He did get cool development in GotG 2, but after that he’s just there for comedic relief (kinda like Drax tbh).

Ant-Man and the ant-family in general. While their bond didn’t seem as strong as the Guardians’, they’re there for each other at the end of the day (tho I heard they screwed that up in Quantumania, so…).

[blushingtendertiel]

I forgot warriors way ended today and haven't stock up on any of the treasure stuff and am not sure did I gwt all the new pieces 🥲

[conspirartist]

Me: I JUST entered the Twst fandom, I’m normal about it!

Also me: So I just spend way too much time and effort making this trash gremling of an OC and I have NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER!

So meet Adra, a forever DM on the verge of having to retake his first year because he keeps skipping Crewel’s classes to dm his D&D table.

[southislandwren]

Sometimes I wonder what my parents really think about me but then they play along with my nonsense and I feel like they probably are for realsies. Anyway I WAS a good little worker and I DO get to stay home tomorrow so it’s time to get fucking lit !!!

🎃rise and MM Holloween??🎃

Rant/

The fact that in rise universe While the Turtles are cautious like in episode 1 but they quickly do not care anymore cause they usually go out in day. (Rise turtles goes to irl mario cart in NEW YORK OPEN DAYLIGHT, Kid Baxter wasn't afraid of the turtles, Nor the Humans when Rise leo was found out in the open, Repo mantis openly would talk to humans in his shop the humans DO NOT CARE, NOT TO MENTION SNOW DAY EPISODE?? IN THE DAY LIGHT??)

NOT TO MENTION RISE HAS A HIDDEN CITY??? WHERE THEY CAN BE THE MOST FREE???

Is it unfair for the other iteration cause...YEESS??

Sure mutant menace exist but humans just wanted drama and some action to make their lives not boring at the end of the day they do not care in the rise universe. Rise donnie was freely going in a school.

Its so sad but im so happy that The Mutant Mayhem got to go to school even though rise has the opportunity but doesn't want to. This makes me think does the rise fam have a Normal childhood??? (LIKE WHEN THEY WHERE KIDS-) the rise turtles would openly go out in the day light . Kid Rise Leo and Raph would sell a lemonade stand(with splinters help ofc) and People would buy like New york city people??? Hello?? Rise splinter has a Pictures of the rise turtles childhood its no secret to the flashbacks I imagine Rise splinter showing this to the other splinter and be like "This is where i help Blue and Red built a lemonade stand because they wanted new skateboards"

The splinters would be confuse cause WYM you made your kids sell lemonade UPSIDE???

end of rant/

Also this is Rise leo and Rise splinter you cannot tell me other wise.

(Also Sorry for not posting Bissy in collage Im studying IT. (Cause i wanted to make an IRL SHELLDON BABY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Me and my fam (four people), my parents in the front, my dad driving, and me and my brother in the back two seats in a nice red convertible, we started driving down this back road, and for some reason we started getting chased by a giant praying mantis.

[stealingpotatoes]

Does Kata have a poncho?

yes of course!! Cal makes sure every Mantis crewmember has one!!

[smearkrann13]

Some Casey Jr. Doodles with his apoc-fam 😇 (scroll all the way down)

Whhawha i love making art so much (these were like from 2-3 months ago lmfao)

I like the idea that either Casey Jr. was made by Baron Draxum (as a request by Casey Sr. and Draxum just agreed cause Casey is one of his favorite humans) Or Casey found Jr. in some abandoned building/ beside a dumpster and just took him in (this is more plausible so imma stick with this)

As he grew up he was taken care of the whole clan, this doesn't mean that only the turtle boys + april + draxum took care of him along with Casey, this includes everyone (Repo Mantis, Hypno, Warren, Baxter, The purple dragons etc.)

Cassandra would've probably said she never wanted a kid, but deep inside she always wanted a little mini copy of her running around causing chaos, and she would've given him all the love and attention she didn't receive while she was a child. So when she saw him, she knew she needed to protect him.

[freakartack]

Here is my obligatory Kat and Ana headcanons question. What's your brainworms on them? Sorry if you already got a request for them, I just adore the twins. Though considering I've seen some other takes on them (and their fam), I'm open to hearing more despite making god knows how many headcanons.

HELLO RESIDENT KAT & ANA ENJOYER i am always down to kat & ana. Just so I don't retread any ground, for everyone else watching all my previous kat & ana bullet points can be found here here here and here.

NOW FOR THE NEW STUFF: Going to do things a bit differently this time. I'm going to do one of my favorite activities, which is "spin the Warioware Wheel and think about whatever character interactions it spits up"

MONA: Oh this one's easy. Babysitter Supreme. Not only do Kat & Ana think she's cool as fuck but she's also one of the few people in this world that can actually keep up with Kat's energy. Similarly, Mona is the least intimidating of the warioware cast to Ana, and in her presence Ana will thus allow herself to Become Silly. Always has some crazy activities for them to do to the point where she can achieve the impossible task of making Kat tired enough to go to bed

MIKE: Kat gives him a 4/10 because he is difficult to tackle. Ana finds him kind of scary when his eyes light up. However, both of them love karaoke and Penny loves telling them embarrassing secrets about him so they find him quite silly as well

18-VOLT: AW 18-volt. I actually wrote a character interaction between 18 and the twins in warioware camping believe it or not. I think he is great with younger kids and so he gets along great with them, doesn't talk down to them the same way other kids his age might. Kat actually does not attempt to tackle him because she respects him as a peer. Ana thinks he's cool

CRICKET: LOL. Not going to lie, Cricket is a little hard for me to write sometimes because he's such a one-trick pony. But it is funny to imagine the 2 sets of martial-arts characters interacting. I think Kat would be elated to have an "equal" sparring partner, but Cricket would be kind of hesitant to spar with a baby kindergartener. (Kat would of, course, still give him a run for his money.). Ana would be really interested in Cricket's stories about his past journeys and of Master Mantis's fighting skills, all of which she would take at face value

SPITZ: SPITZY! VERY tackleable, but they have opposing opinions on him; Ana thinks he is a cute kitty man, but Kat thinks that he is a stinky cat. Spitz would enjoy talking to Ana and teaching her things, but he would NOTTT be able to keep up with Kat. Of course he cares a lot about them both, but he is simply not qualified to babysit a five-year-old with a sword. Taxi rides with them are similarly chaotic, but don't happen too often anyways.

Ghost doesn't condone the boys stealing, but I'm curious. Does that include Repo Mantis' junkyard? Cuz, I think a lot of folks are unaware of this, but junkyard junk isn't free. You still have to pay the owner of the junkyard for that stuff, you can't just go in and take it.

It's funny, considering how much the turtle-fam (especially donnie) has stolen from him over the years

along with multiple counts of them trespassing onto his private property

at least two separate instances of them messing with his cat

with one of those instances being filmed with the intention of posting it online

all without his knowledge and/or consent

Repo is the only "villain" in Rise that is actually pretty justified in disliking the Mad Dogs🤣

Look, Ghost grew up going through junkyards. He tries to pay for things when he can, but he's essentially penniless and lives in the sewers. He doesn't just pick from Mantis' junkyard but he's definitely been there more than a few times.

Ghost's whole thing is "don't steal if you can help it but also stealing from bad guys is morally fine" which is why he skims money off of billionaire's accounts. And THAT, he does use to pay for things.

Ghost hates Repo anyway; he made a deal with his kids and then went back on it. In Ghost's mind, that's enough to get your shit thieved. lmao

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

OMG?!??!

I hadn't watched the Guardians of the Galaxy holyday special!! Was anybody gonna tell me it actually confirmed that Mantis is Ego's daughter or was I supposed to find that out in a YouTube comment myself?!??!?

I'm so freaking happy :D this is the first time a headcanon I subscribe to has ever been made official!!! I was CONVINCED that Mantis was one of Ego's kids when GotG2 came out (it was perfectly logical - why would Ego take notice of a random kid to enslave, when his main characteristic is making kids with all known species and taking them to back to his planet and only killing them when they prove useless to him? We know he mated with one of Mantis' species from his displays - hence he necessarily had an empath kid, so no need to go grab one unrelated to him: Mantis was useful so he kept her, like a "flea with a purpose.") I never expected it to be acknowledged tho!! But the plot bunnies are back!! The fluff is back!!! Peter has a sis sjsjdsjsjszjkz 💛💛 I can go back to imagining Ravager AUs where Mantis gets picked up by Yondu along with Peter 😍 or even better, grows up with Meredith.

GotG is the only Marvel franchise that still elicits feels in me. It actually cares enough to flesh out its characters in ways by building from the little things (like Yondu's fatherly love for Peter was possible to conjecture from the first movie but was still unsubstantiated until the second, like Kraglin being Peter's "big bro" from the Ravagers was just hinted at but now he's part of the Guardian fam, and like Mantis obviously being one of Ego kids is finally a thing) so that the audience can pick up on the clues and predict how the relationships are naturally going to develop. It doesn't betray the viewers by dropping the subtext bc the writers have changed their minds and playing dumb and saying people imagined things that weren't there - it follows things through!!!!

Anyway I KNEW IT. I FREAKING KNEW IT!! MANTIS IS PETER'S SISTER BAAAAYBEEE!!!!
