Guys! Don’t give up on Rise! Watch it! Tell people about it! Make videos/social media posts about it. It will only die, if we give up on it! Even after Mutant Mayhem, don’t let the ship sink!

Save Rise of the TMNT

[misasimagines]

this isn't well written or anything I'm just. I'm Desperate to get Ren out of my head he's been living here rent free and I NEED to switch into Taiga mode to write that request so. Please enjoy structureless Ren rambles. He doesn't come off as character with Much Nuance (like some others, Rui!! Jin, Subaru, Haku, etc) but like. When he's been sitting in your head for the past 14 business days....things unravel.

I'm not like citing sources here. This is pure vibes. Please don't crucify me if I got smth wrong 🙏

So he has a Thing about the ocean. He watches horrors movies related to it, he seems especially grossed out by it, but he doesn't seem like he's never had experience with it. Which is why I just can't not think he came from a small, coastal town (like from Aquamarine lmao). The kind that has a Barrage of tourists in the summer and over holidays and he Hated it because now he can't just go anywhere without risking being in the background of someone's vacation pictures. And I also can't help but feel like he probably had a parent/parents who parentified him, probably not maliciously, but they still did it. Like two immature parents or one immature parent and one completely absent one, so when it came to actually being responsible about things, he had no choice but to step in. Which is why he's so annoyed by and against hard work- he's done enough of it and he doesn't want to keep getting involved when he now doesn't feel the responsibility to. He probably feels a lot of resentment towards them for what he had to take on. Whether he feels bad about that resentment or not, I can't say.

He doesn't like messes or the animals in Jabberwock. He doesn't want to have to care for anything besides himself. Haru might remind him of his family which is why he's so hostile towards him. Because like Notably, Ren isn't BAD at hard work. He does go to classes, does missions, has a job at the diner, and still has to help around Jabberwock no matter how much he tries to avoid it. He's even dedicated to his mobile games, which seems silly, but those require a lot of routine daily to keep up and it seems like he has a few he keeps up with! And if we consider the Jabberwock chapter, even though he was against Calamari and resented taking care of it, he still did and he still felt guilty when he didn't do a good job at it, so much so that he ran off to the beach to try to revive the poor thing. Not the actions of someone who truly is selfish and doesn't care. Him carrying Haru to safety too- yes, leaving him to die would have been really. Kind of reprehensible but he carried the guy and rejected any kind of thanks and appreciation for it. He could have used that as guilt-leverage to try to get out of things later but...did he? Not as far as I know.

Like he does all of that no matter how much he complains. Also, who ELSE has a campus job? I'll wait. 🥱. Sho doesn't count, the food truck is a passion project. Even BROKE ASS Kaito doesn't have a campus job. Why is Ren working? Does he NEED the money or does he feel some kind of compulsion to make it for some reason? Because he's responsible? Because he sends it back home? Because he wants to have money for post Darkwick life? Who knows!!!!! He got that job like INSTANTLY bro enrolled and got that work study like the first damn week.

And this is way less in the realm of Theory Crafting and conspiracy and more just a pure hc but I just feel like maybe his hostility towards other people, the MC included, is because he might be dealing with the aftermath of a damaged or lost relationship. Not exclusively romantic but like possibly? Like if he grew up in a small town, he probably knew the people around him from childhood to adulthood. And it's not unlikely that he had a childhood friend that stuck through all the years with him. And it's not unlikely that, if they were friends that long, that people would start making jokes and suggestions about them ending up together long term. And! It's not unlikely that! He felt some kind of pressure to at least pretend to reciprocate feelings towards them. So maybe a close friendship became a relationship and maybe he did have feelings for them and maybe he didn't or just wasn't ready for them. Either way, now he's in Darkwick and given how unhappy he is, it doesn't seem like it was his first choice to be there. Is he running away? Does he not have a home to go back to (either self imposed or true exile)? I just. I have questions.

Please someone ramble with me I'm going crazy here. I'm like God I'd kill this guy [thinking about making out with him sloppy style]. Hate him truly he's so annoying I'd argue with him every day. What if this were us

Listen, this is a pretty hopeless vent below. i am rational and know things are going to keep working and laws are getting drafted, but a vent is a vent.

And I felt pretty hopeless.

Don't you feel terrified that even to your best abilities, AI can generate something arguably better, economically viable? Doesn't it make shivers down to your bones knowing your 20 or so years of efforts are now worth pennies, and the future you planned os now only the next 5 years until it's fully trained?

Doesn't it scare you that people who pay to use it are paying to have the privilege to train it and soon enough they too will be replaced? That artistry is one of the most ancient works, a millenary job, the expression of human existence, and it's now commodified with the blood and sweat of every artist that existed before? That those artists, the dead and alive ones, never ever and never would agree with their work being used like this? And that there's people who rejoice on the misery they feel?

That the joy of seeing a new art is dead because you have to make sure you're supporting a real person? That the smile is replaced with a double take, a zoom in on the features?

The complete destruction of the search engines that both show and spit out nonsense, for the untrained eye to be unable to know the reality they love in, as well of the past they'll never get to fully understand, because a machine who knows nothing generated some Greek art? Indigenous? Fake animals? Fake political mishaps?

Doesn't it make you cry that you'll never have money to throw at the problem because your enemy has more money alone than all of the 99% living humans on this earth at this moment? That they're happy never to ever hire an artist again? A voice actor? A designer?

That my dream was once to sell my art on DeviantArt and recently they congratulated the biggest seller they had, who's now an AI generator that makes ladies with big boobs.

That other people who don't know my grief tell me to "adapt" and "use it too" so I won't be forgotten?

To make me wonder how people once made the most beautiful lace by hand and now it's worth less than what I breathe and that's now my future?

That once art brought me joy and now it makes me wonder for how long can I keep doing it?

The God™️ is literally a child with trust issues and guilt give him a break :(

[bloomingdead]

a whole lotta antagonists starting new channels full of blathering bullshit to get a hype train of followers in the wake of the game’s impending release. and it’s working bc youtube’s algorithm is boosting anything dragon age at anyone absorbing newly released content!! so hateful when they could be focusing on promoting the things they actually like! anyways, i’ll be over here guarding my suspicions as i fuel my obsession in order to keep my hopes up and an open mind when the game fully releases ❤️

[perenlop]

watching a pokeani series ranking vid rn and im not surprised to see bw in last place again, but pleasantly surprised that op was like “but iris was great and she raises the score. also genesect movie was great”

[sugarcandydoll]

helpp my mum's modesty standards are through the roof recently she won't even let me wear a mini dress w tights n a cardigan m so mad ♡(>_<)

[sweet-potato-42]

i fucking love the drama with qphil, qtubbo and sunny

i know its mostly tubbo fans being dramatic and going insane since we get no lore or rp angst shit

We tubbo fans need to be aware why we are saying these things and the philza fans need to be aware its not discourse and just overthinking character stuff.

but it would be so fucking cool if they can rp that story actually and not just basically headcannons

but i KNOW the viewers would not be able to handle it properly unless its clearly stated as its an rp story because right now the tubbo fans go insane making angst and (fully understandably) the phil fans are like wtf is this shit

Both sides are in the right and i would not call this discourse becuase most people who talk about it do not consider this an actual issue i think most people are having fun suffering. No one has any problesm with ccs or anything

Also i think part of it comes from many tubbo viewers not liking the headcannon that qphil is qtubbos parent or the strict family dynamics. Especially those who didnt watch dsmp or dont watch philza. Also some salty leftover from purgatory

This is very complicated angst that if the ccs play into and develop it into a story it will be actually insanely good and intersting however i cant trsut the community to not be shit about it. And i doubt hteyll play into it anyways because its such a hard story to write

[odessastone]

so going by Symmetra's behavior about it, it seems like "Niran" is...not quite a deadname, but like...not really a name friends use for him? like I thought "Bua" was more like a silly little nickname he gave himself in addition to going by his legal name, but Satya outright says how weird it feels to call him "Niran" because it sounds like she literally never did. like Bua is his preferred name, at least coming from friends.

and once she gets comfortable enough with him again, Satya switches away from using "Niran", and neither she nor the story's narration ever call him that again.

I hate when my mom offers to make dinner and invites me over and then complains that it was hard to do and next time I should help

If you wanted help, first of all, my brother was home with you all day why didn't you ask him

Secondly, you could have told me this morning that you wanted help when we had coffee together so I would have come over earlier and been able to help

Third, if it's too fucking hard to cook a meal for the whole family then don't offer to host Sunday dinner?!?!

[wanderestless]

i think my mom has delayed my access to a GI specialist by at least a month by trying to 'help', and now she's annoyed at me because she might lose some social capital over this

[nullians]

Okay, not to undermine just how bad the teenage years were but the 20s are a different kind of torment…

[transgendercastiel]

listened to music too loud I’m normal again

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

love the idea of transhet laios

[quietlyblooms]

we’ll see how the rest of the day plays out, but it’s honestly just not a great mental day for me. the family excursion was fine — nothing went wrong. i just feel very overwhelmed and sensitive, and there’s not been a moment where it’s just quiet. writing might be how i recharge once i’m home, but we’ll just see. i might just lurk and take it easy uvu
