I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself#note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown#when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is#and how much his persona is more an actor#Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so#since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it#and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are#I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja#his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times#not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo#but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters#or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily#it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do#like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero#All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential#likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja#but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse#he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it#Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like#you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

Fox Miraculous - Reimagined:
This is inspired by the fact its "illusions" cannot be seen by cameras. Rather than this being a weakness, its a reflection of the fact most users do not understand the fox.
Name: Trixx Animal: Vulpes Era: Caveasphaera Domain: Mirage and Manifestation Kindred: Horse (Action & Migration) & Butterfly (Transmission & transformation)
Mirage: The Fox is often mistaken for creating illusions, but this is not so, in truth it creates what can be described as hallucinations within a certain range, altering the perspective of those within it to match the imagined perceptions of the user.
Manifestation: The power to manifest one's innermost thoughts, an image, ideas, or more via the Fox can also be applied on others. Just as the Turtles Shield can encase the user or a foe, so two an the Fox manifest a mirage based on the perceptions of someone other than the Holder.
Some Mages Thousands of Years ago: ... and this one lets the handler place hallucinations in someone else's mind, or even externalize their targets thoughts, manifesting them as a sort of shared mirage. Useful for trickery and interrogation.
Trixx, who just got here: Yeah that sounds about right.
(Maybe) Lila/Alya thousands of years later: So what you’re saying is I can use this to make people see the world as I do. That I am essentially eroding the barrier between my perception of the world and theirs, imposing my thoughts, feelings and visions upon the target. Which could allow me to steadily warp and erode their sense of self and view of the world until its either the same as mine, or simply whatever I sculpted them into. Essentially allowing me to steadily overwrite an entire personality and perception of reality? With all it costs me being the risk of my own slower erosion of self as all those around me join together in a panopticon like hivemind?
Trixx & Some Mages Thousands of Years ago:
Note: One can try and reshape people over time, but one cannot always predict the results. So it could go really, really badly.
#miraculous ladybug#mlb#world building#Text post#My work#The epic magic is even more horrifying#Combine horse fox & butterfly#& you can the power to transform the body rewrite the mind of any being anywhere#Nowhere to run nowhere to hide#the target is taken overwritten and changed utterly#The only limits being that the target needs to be or have been a living being with thoughts#The consequences well Let's just say they vary but are all equally fucking terrible#What did you think you could make a wholly new being & not get millions of other new things too?#Diseases dead rising the very nature of your and everyone else's being warped by proximity and more dreadful options abound!#Fox & Butterfly are also a fucking nightmare team up in this context cos it means if one targets the user in their sleep#Or for an extended period of time#It lets one shape their ideal Akuma or Imago#But again instincts exist so you may not get exactly what you intended you may get something far worse#Trixx ain't doing much better than thmage#Trixx: I didn't know I could do this! I never wanted to know I could do this What the fuck!?

IDK if I'm phrasing this correctly, but in my brain, Vasco is, like, the personification (caninification?) of an afternoon chilling on a back porch swing.
.
#ah#that's adorable#I can totally imagine him doing that#answered#anonymous#Vasco#to me he usually conjures the feeling of being warmed by sunlight#winters in northern Finland where I'm from tend to be pretty rough at least for me they are#they last about six months or so#sun starts to set earlier and earlier until it gets dark before 2 pm#in december the sun barely rises at all it's like this brief moment of twilight at noon between two 22+ hour nights#it gets harder to wake up in the morning and your energy levels plummet you go into battery saving mode#polar night messes up your brain seasonal depression gets really bad#and the cold and dark goes on and on and you feel like you'll never feel warm or happy or properly awake again#but eventually it starts to veer towards spring and on one day you notice that the sun is shining??!?!#not like bleakly and weakly but proper sunlight with warm hue and capability to actually warm the things it touches#you've forgotten what it looks like when it's truly light outside#and it's the craziest feeling to see bright natural light it blinds you and pierces right through into your very core#being kissed by the sun for the first time in months feels unreal it feels SO GOOD#I don't know it's probably not that big of a deal for people around me#but I personally react to things like changes in temperature and the amount of daylight pretty massively#I like to think that Vasco is a first ray of sunlight hitting you after you've spent what feels like an eternity in someplace cold and dark

The portraits of younger heroes and villains in totally-not-EAH-and-SFGAE-rip-off Merlin Academy, if anyone's curious. And like, before anyone goes at me for that nickname for Merlin Academy: the villains group portrait literally has 'V.K students' under it, implying they themselves are children of villains, which just opens up the idea that these kids basically became evil like their parents before them and the only ones to not be evil are the prior Descendants main characters, aka, similar to main characters in EAH and SFGAE. At this point, Disney is losing their right to complain if EAH does ever return because the only one copying right now in Disney.
#disney descendants#descendants#descendants the rise of red#the rise of red#seeing ella's blue hair...god its a crime still like older her's hair and chloe's hair#again what is wrong with their natural hair color...#and why does bridget aka younger QOH have pink hair and red as an adult#could have fixed this with black hair like animated just saying#non-magical hair colors isnt a crime just pointing that out#granted not over mal and ben having to share a portrait for their students one#if that even is their students one#it has no writing so like#so it could be king and queen one for all i know but its got D3 mal who was only engaged at the time not coronated#so like i dunno but if they are sharing a portrait for former students rip#imagine not being able to have your own portraits because your king and future queen and have to always look like a perfect couple#also thats the mal mention counter up to 2 times now#uma mentioned her and uh now this portrait#that wasnt even properly defaced like the other portraits like come on#dont be scared to deface bal portrait#i would do it instantly

#for me personally the first one#then the third and then the second#I do think the third is an upgrade to the second because it feels more natural? the humor isn't as forced and there is a plot. kinda#the second will always be in my heart tho. for jed and oct. everything else is really meh#and the fourth movie? I didn't even know it existed a month ago#it's not bad. not really. just everyone is ooc? I'd like it if they went with the end of the 3rd movie and had a cast of new characters#instead of using old ones and changing their personalities#it felt too childish also#the animation was fine. nothing outstanding#I'd actually love it to be an animated series instead of a movie#anyway#poll#polls#night at the museum#battle of the smithsonian#secret of the tomb#Kahmunrah Rises Again#natm#not art#reblog for a bigger sample size

waiting for you is like waiting for the sun to rise;
inevitable,
and yet standing on that hill,
watching the moon slip behind the clouds
as the warmth peeks out to replace the silver glow,
I feel like i’m waiting alone.
#poetry#poem#destiel#dean winchester#castiel#spn#supernatural#deancas#destiel poetry#destiel poem#personal poem#just me rambling thinking about destiel and weaving it through my own consciousness#I rarely post poetry like this because I always spend ages tweaking and formatting#but today is a raw poetry kinda day#anyway love yall#not sure I’m gonna tag anyone in this because it probably isn’t any good alsjlsks#I can picture dean sitting in the cold grass of a hill watching the sun start to crest over the horizon as he waits for cas#because cas is nature#and if dean sits here and waits. cas will come back. like the sun always rises again.#except this time cas doesn’t come back. the sun rises and sets. and cas doesn’t come back.

literally saying this as a hater of both veneers and plastic surgery but the reason you think those procedures "always look bad" is because when they're done well you can't tell they were done at all. survivorship bias or whatever
#like there absolutely are people out there with gorgeous natural-looking veneers i literally treated one today#but the thing is unless you're their dentist you can't tell they have veneers. because they're natural-looking.#the rise in super white super straight super square veneers is literally just a trend that's not what veneers *have* to look like#and tbh i can promise you a lot of dentists (or at least the dentists i've studied under) fuckin' hate that look too#but if that's what patients want they're gonna find a way to get it#anyway the line between 'cosmetic' and 'necessary' in dentistry is blurry bc dentistry inherently has cosmetic qualities#and also the cosmetics of your smile have such an extreme impact on your social development and quality of life#again i'm not a fan of veneers and there are very few situations where i'd recommend them#but it's not as black-and-white as 'veneers ugly and bad'

i am going to stand on my Raph Is The Sun soapbox forever ftr. not that anyone has said not to.
i don’t mean that in an “everything and everyone revolves around raph all the time, bc he’s the most important one of them all” way. bc i’ll reiterate forever that there is no one member of this family who is the Most Important or most special, there is no member of this family who would be the most or least devastating to lose. like. if the hamatos lose anyone they’re never fully recovering.
i do mean what i say in the general sense of raph being a source of warmth and support, and in the sense that he does a lot of holding everyone together.
but more than anything when i say raph is the sun and his family is his solar system i mean like
raph isn’t the sun bc he’s the most important one that everyone revolves around, he’s the sun bc without a planetary system, a sun isn’t a sun. and i think so much of raph’s sense of personal identity and purpose is wrapped up in the roles he serves for his family so like. it just all checks out
#rottmnt raph#rise raph#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt#i wanted to talk about raph and how he picks things up that he sees as needing picked up but no one else is willing to take#substitute parenting; leadership; teambuilding; being a protector#that moment in the movie when casey says then it's too late and everyone is looking crestfallen#and raph looks around at them; and he finds the strength to be the one who says no it's not. it's not too late we can still do it.#like. it is so important#and the contrast to leo who is the other turtle with the motivational speech history#coleaders tbh but like. raph CHOOSING it over and over again choosing to step up choosing to carry hammering raw tenacity into hope#he is not a natural with words he is not eloquent but he puts so much into everything#they need hope they need motivation no one else is doing it so raph will do it for them#meanwhile leo the 'face man' who can whip up on the fly motivation with flair and charisma leo who is better at long game strategy#like for raph it's a choice for leo it's an epiphany#and the important thing is that they both get the job done that they're trying to do; they rally their family they push on#no one: me: makes a second post in the tags of a post for some reason#anyway anyone who says there's a better leader one or the other between leo and raph is a fool and a coward#theyre equally good and likewise equally both flawed and they both care a lot about their family

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.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt raph#rottmnt leo#rise Raph#rise leo#I really do love this bit of character writing a ton#again it’s so small but like this is consistent!#little Raph just wanted to have fun with his bros 😭#Leo immediately coming in with the save both times (and more - remember Bug Busters?)#I really love too how none of them pointed fingers like#it was Understood that Leo would speak for them#listen there’s a reason Leo is the Face Man and it’s NOT just because he’s got a pretty face#he can talk both himself and his fam out of situations and I wish we saw it even more because it’s amazing to witness#circling back to Raph his bold nature is something I ADORE about him but I don’t see it brought up a lot which makes me so sad#like this boy is a RAPHAEL he is bold!!#and it’s cute too how the other bros immediately go along with it too#imo the Raph in these tot flashback is the same Raph that glues them all together as a bonding exercise#side note but damn…Leo saves them from punishment in the tot short and immediately gets jumped 😔#but yeah man I think a Lot about the little dynamics between the bros and how those dynamics could have first came into being#Leo being the face of the team and having been it since childhood-#-makes all the moments of immediately choosing to sacrifice himself when HE royally messes up all the more notable#if it’s one bro or the whole group individually he’s more chill about it but often still lets himself be the talker to get them out of it#he will do his damndest to get his brothers and himself out of trouble but once they’re in it he’s in the front with a smile#his own safety be damned#Raph is actually the same in that respect - he’ll jump into danger fists first but all bets are off when a brother is in danger#and like how Leo’s been the face - as the eldest Raph has been the de facto leader of sorts#he’s the one who is shown to make up their games! and I think that’s very cute#anyway their clashing in the movie is so interesting for a lot of reasons but one of them is that it shows how-#-even a longstanding dynamic like Raph and Leo’s that’s WORKED for so long is still susceptible to flaws…and to time

The reason I post so many one piece femslash ideas but none of them include the biggest most important lesbian, Nami D. Gay, is because she's already in a relationship and it's called The Strawhats(+Vivi.). I'm constantly trying and failing to put into words how I personally conceptualize that relationship but to me it is the epitome of weird queer shit. We've got ace/aro spec, we've got queer platonic relationships, we've got dyke4fag, we've got t4t, we've got that guy that isn't in the polycule he's just there and we love him, we've got just friends but it's really intense, we've got it all. They're a queer chosen family and those can be normal but this one for sure is not in any way no thank you.
I could get behind basically any specific character relationship interpretation as long as there's no relationship hierarchy involved and the fact that they're all together isn't forgotten. Sick of seeing random pairs of them picked up and dropped off on their own beautiful soulmate fantasy. THEY'RE ALL IN A FREAK FAMILY TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! Isn't that more interesting to explore???
#not that normal is a good thing to want anyways. the nuclear family is an evil recent political construct and does not reflect the nature of#human communities.#i'm so deranged about how wan peace's storytelling fits with family abolitionist values while not being very politically aware#especially not in feminist sense.#it just follows human nature and emotions and lands there. yeah.#my posts#sorry for being political about one piece. it will happen again#not sorry for being a deviant though. where are my comrades.#QUEERS WHO AREN'T AFRAID TO MAKE IT WEIRD RISE UP!!!!!!!!!!

i miss a hat in time
#splat speaks#post unrebloggable bc i dont feel like being given an essay abt the game i was there for so long ago#i was there. i was in the fandom i was part of watching its growth i was part of the aus.#and i wouldn't do it again. but i miss it#the fun and the enjoyment from such a simple game#i played vanessas curse with some friends recently. it brought me the same excitement i got from the main game#all over again. all brand new. and yet so familiar.#i don't miss swamp takeover. i do miss daily condie.#i wonder how the other daily pictures are doing#i miss the diaries. no one really remembers them but simultaneously#they were so much a keystone of my experience#to the other diary writers. i hope you're okay. and living life. and enjoying your new interests.#i know some of you have moved into similar waters as i have and it's a little heartwarming. the natural osmosis of being gay#diary writers in projmoon interest rise up i see u......#idk. im sentimental right now#and i know nothing is going to bring the same joy that ahit had. or the same drive for aus#but it's wonderful to reflect on that. and to get new people into the game even now#i'll keep on creating. i want to be to others what a hat in time was to me.

Emotional regulation 🅱️lease
#spent my day editing not one not two but THREE things I had written and received feedback and critique on#and most of it was fair but like fuck and when I called home my mom yelled at me#like it’s hard not to be self critical when literally everything in my life is critical of me#and I cut my hand doing the dishes washing my kitchen knife#and I know my students are filling out surveys and I know I’m gonna get the criticism about being slow at grading that I always do#and I’m worried they’re gonna be unhappy at my internship that I haven’t finished labeling the wardrobe and I don’t think I can#like the nature of grad school is that you are being shaped and given constructive criticism#but like would it kill someone to compliment me on something that isn’t how well I rise to challenges#a lot of it is me rushing papers and getting scores that reflect this but#this is when usually I would post art or fic and then get positive validation that way but I don’t have time to draw so#I need to stop listening to ROME I can’t listen to him after 10 pm it makes me too depressed#also like I think I’m depressed again ✌️
