#no she wasn’t perfect

The last one didn’t do so hot and I’m a little sad about that but here we go anyway: Taylor Swift songs that remind me of 2012 TMNT with barley any context:

Leo:

You’re On Your Own, Kid

You’re on your own, kid. But you can face this.

Breathe ft. Colbie Caillat

And we know it's never simple, never easy. Never a clean break, no one here to save me

Donnie:

Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you

Everything Has Changed ft. Ed Sheeran

All I know is you said hello, and your eyes looking like coming home

Mikey:

Shake It Off

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain! That’s what people say

22

It feels like one of those nights…

Raph:

I Did Something Bad

You say I did something bad, then why’s it feel so good?

Sweet Nothing

All you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing

April:

The Man:

I'd be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type. When everyone believes ya; What's that like?

Mad Woman:

And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out. And you find something to wrap your noose around.

Schrödinger’s Feyre: Where Feyre is simultaneously a cunning and badass girlboss with a mind of steel and a fragile little lamb who doesn’t know any better. When they’re proud, she’s a skilled strategist and competent High Lady, but when it comes to facing the consequences of her actions and the implications of her power, suddenly she’s a little baby waddling through fairy land.

isn’t it sad that kelly and max speaking out against deranged wag gossip accounts will probably do nothing bc the people obsessive enough to spread rumours and hate on anything kelly (or whatever other wag) does are far beyond using their brains and will somehow find a way to turn this into another fucking problem with a woman they’d frankly have zero beef with if it weren’t for her dating an f1 driver they like

Some fan art I made a bit ago, but I wasn't super happy with the colors so I touched them up a bit.

Pearl and Rose did not had the healthiest relationship in the world by a wide margin, but I do think the concept was interesting. I liked the complexity of having to move on from a relationship that's been kind of left incomplete, with all these unresolved problems, knowing you'll never get proper closure.

what if i told you that thea’s raven number - 14 - is an unlucky number because, translated, it sounds similar to ‘must die’/‘will certainly die’ in cantonese, and ‘is dead’/‘will be dead’ in mandarin.

‘her number was 14 for reasons’ - nora sakavic, aftg extra content

what if i suggested that tetsuji gave her that number specifically because he considered a black woman dominating his own sport a threat not only to himself but to his perfect court. not only is tetsuji’s misogyny pretty clear, but we all know the other ravens were killing themselves trying to be given the next perfect court number, but that was never gonna happen because even though the perfect court was actually full of the best players, it was never actually about championing the best players, it was about ownership. so what if i said that tetsuji hated that thea was as good as she was without having any ties to himself, outside of signing on to the college team he coaches. he felt undermined because he couldn’t fully credit himself for her skill, and so he gave her the 14 - on the surface, it’s an achievement to get so close to single digits for the ravens BUT it comes with a hidden threat. you will die if you go too far.

and then what if i suggested that nora also chose 14 because of the way the fandom reacted to thea. i have no idea whether she’d already picked out the number before the series was published but i don’t think it’s mentioned in the original series ?? so i mean…

yes, i’ve seen the list of issues people have with thea but what’s crazy to me is that we know literally nothing about her bar the few tidbits nora mentioned in the extra content, and the few scenes we have in the series. and i know there was probably a full backstory written for her that we never got to see bc of all the hate nora got purely for introducing her, and the subsequent reactions to literally everything we’re told about thea just makes me think that nobody actually learned anything about how people’s trauma can drastically influence how they perceive the world and how they react to things including the abuse of other people - cough. andrew and aaron cough. - her reactions to things are bound to be built off her experiences and she was literally in a cult which would completely rewire her world view so like (even what we’re told in the EC, we don’t meet her until her fifth year of edgar allan so she’s five years deep into this shit guys, and you know tetsuji was physically and mentally abusive to all the ravens u have to know that by now)—-

but anyway this post isn’t supposed to be a defence or a critique of her i just find the number 14 aligns with the way people speak about her as though she’s done something bad enough to deserve death threats, so i just hope you realise when u perpetuate that shit it’s like ur tattooing that 14 right on her face.

oh to add to that, in japanese culture the number fourteen represents imperfection, but specifically beauty found in things that are imperfect. if i say that’s a way of saying no thea isn’t perfect but that doesn’t mean she deserves to die ? what then?

bc no she’s not a perfect person and ill be the first to admit i hated that scene in tsc with jean, but are you really telling me that’s the worst thing an aftg character has ever done?? why is she being branded as the worst when she was literally in the series for like 3 pages?

and do u know what, the fact that she, post graduation, still wears her 14 is 1) a sign of pride that she really is one of the best and 2) a reminder that she is not dead yet, despite the efforts of tetsuji and the literal fandom

big day for Stellina! we got an early start and spent about 3 hours hiking all over a mountain, it was a lot more scrambling than we normally do but she was a natural

then we went into town and had lunch on their patio - her first time ever at a restaurant but she did pretty good, mostly just had issues keeping her butt out of the aisle

Maine is also FULL of old people and old people love collies so she got stopped and greeted many times. finally back at the house and she’s got one killer case of the Sleepies

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

reminder that famous people are also just some guy, don’t put them on pedestals, be aware that they are not perfect and remember, men ain’t shit
