#not actually solving or even understanding problems

[lordmogatron]

Sherlock Elementary and Shawn Psych would have the deepest respect for each other, but they would not like working with each other.

Sherlock would love Shawn's anti-establishment attitude and perceptive abilities. At first blush he would hate the whole "psychic" thing, but like Chief Vick or Desperaux, he would forgive the eccentricity once he saw Shawn's results. He would probably even play into it from time-to-time.

Shawn would love Sherlock's whole cool English dude and aloofness. Here's a man who is just as smart as he is, who solves at least one crime a week, but he doesn't want the limelight? That's Shawn's second favorite kind of light (after spot- and before Bud).

They both would appreciate the other's love and devotion to their partners, and the respect their teams have for them (although Sherlock would absolutely eviscerate Lassie seasons 1-5, before he started letting his freak flag fly a little).

The problem with them working together would come from their approach to the actual murders. Sherlock treats each death with the seriousness and solemnity it deserves, whereas Shawn's first impulse is to make a joke. This comes down to the way each man copes with the violence they witness.

Sherlock can't not feel the horror and bear the weight of it all. He has no ability to filter it or process it; taking someone's life is one of the most serious offenses someone can make, and he will make sure the victim is treated with respect after their life was taken from them.

Shawn, meanwhile, does understand how terrible everything is, but I mean. The guy died eating Cheetos, is he supposed to see that and NOT say that they're dangerously cheesy? Jules, put out an APB for Chester Cheetah immediately. He rejects the horror in front of him because confronting it would hurt too much.

Hi! Any headcanons for dating rise donnie?

A/N: Sure! 😊

Dating Rise Donnie (SFW)

💜 ROTTMNT Donatello/Gender Neutral Reader 💜

CWs: None. All characters are aged-up.

Donnie’s initial attempts at flirting might just sound like his usual sarcastic commentary, leaving you wondering if he’s insulting you or hitting on you.

But when he does decide to ask you out, expect something needlessly complex. Maybe a holographic presentation detailing the benefits of a romantic partnership, or a custom-built gadget meant to deliver the message that backfires spectacularly.

His hyper-focus, occasional arrogance (masking insecurity), and social awkwardness require understanding. You’ll need to learn to read between the lines of his sarcasm.

Since direct emotional expression isn’t his forte, you’ll become an expert at reading his micro-expressions, the specific type of sarcastic comment he uses when he’s secretly pleased, or the way he fidgets with his goggles when nervous.

Over time, you might notice moments where a genuine, non-sarcastic compliment slips out before he can catch it. He’ll likely blush, stammer, and immediately try to cover it with more sarcasm, but you heard it.

If you’re upset, his instinct isn’t always a hug (though he might learn). It’s to solve the problem. You’ll need to gently explain that sometimes you just need empathy.

Donnie’s love language is acts of service. He’ll build you custom gadgets to solve your problems, upgrade your tech, etc. Need something specific? He can probably build it.

Verbal affection, on the other hand, is … awkward. Compliments might come out sounding like technical assessments. Genuine, heartfelt words are rare. He might stutter or get flustered trying to express them.

Donnie isn’t always the most physically demonstrative of affection, partly due to his focus and often his touch aversion. Initiating small gestures and seeing how he reacts is best. Once comfortable, he might surprise you with possessive hand-holding or leaning into your space.

He doesn’t display overt PDA. But maybe him resting his hand possessively on the back of your chair, angling himself between you and perceived ‘threats’ (like overly friendly strangers), or using custom tech (like a paired communication device) that subtly marks you as connected to him.

After a huge success (a battle won, an invention perfected, etc.), he might be so overcome with adrenaline and relief that he actually initiates a brief, possibly clumsy hug or leans against you. Don’t make a big deal out of it; just accept the rare physical vulnerability.

When he seems extra arrogant or dismissive, it sometimes masks insecurity. He might fish for compliments by presenting an invention and asking for your ‘objective analysis,’ secretly hoping you’ll just say it’s amazing.

Praise is his kryptonite. He thrives on validation, especially regarding his intellect and inventions. Genuinely praising his work or intelligence will make him puff up with pride.

When he excitedly explains the intricacies of quantum physics or the schematics for his latest battle shell upgrade for twenty minutes straight, he’s sharing his passion with you. A big sign of trust and affection on his part.

If you’re passionate about something, he might suddenly become an expert on it overnight after intense research. He might not share the passion, but he’ll understand its mechanics and history, which is his way of connecting.

Prepare for dates involving beta-testing his latest invention, competitive video game marathons (he will gloat), trips to the junkyard for components, or maybe even falling down rabbit holes on weird corners of the internet together.

Though a significant portion of your quality time together will likely be spent in his lab. Sometimes you’ll be helping (handing him tools, being a sounding board, etc.). Other times you’ll just be chilling amidst the controlled chaos while he hyper-focuses. Oh—and bring snacks. He forgets to eat.

Eventually, you’ll get your own lab space. It might just be a small, meticulously organized corner of his lab initially, but he’ll later designate a space for your stuff or for you to comfortably hang out.

Once you’re his person, he’s incredibly protective. He’ll use his tech and intellect to keep you safe, even if his methods are … unconventional.

If you’re ever in genuine danger, the sarcastic, dramatic Donnie vanishes. He becomes ruthlessly efficient, calculating, and terrifyingly focused on neutralizing the threat and getting you to safety. His tech becomes lethal, his plans precise.

One of the best signs he’s truly comfortable is when he can just exist in the same space as you, both doing your own things (him tinkering, you reading/scrolling/etc.), without needing constant interaction.

He secretly loves being taken care of. When he’s truly exhausted or sick (which he’ll deny until he collapses), having you bring him soup, enforce rest, or just quietly sit with him means more than he’ll admit.

It takes immense trust for him to let you see his experiments blow up (literally or figuratively) without him getting overly defensive or dramatic. If he can sigh, complain about the variables, and start cleaning up with you there, you’re truly integrated into his process.

For Donnie, acknowledging the validity and soundness of your reasoning, especially during a discussion or debate, is one of the highest forms of respect and affection he can offer. It means he sees you as an intellectual equal.

Goo dating headcanons

💸 Dating goo can be a real roller coaster. A fun roller coaster that is. There could be problems here and there but in his eyes it’s nothing he can’t solve. Yes it is true that sometimes he prioritizes his job over you sometimes. But that’s because his job is very ‘demanding.’ But it pays well, so he hopes you understand.

💸 Fair dates, cinema dates, shopping spree, restaurants, coffee dates and karaoke dates. (Sometimes with jonggun tagging along even though he himself doesn’t want to and goo forced invited him to go) he can’t always make it, but he does make it up to you in one way or another. Always.

💸 if you go to a far date, expect him to scream and yell in every attraction you go to. Yes he’s afraid of heights. Too bad you didn’t know, you have to put with him now. Luckily he don’t throw up. Oh but he WILL try the claw machine’s and not win shit. He spent a lot of money on it too by the way. Bro might start crying. Or just sit on the ground or sum. You might even feel bad for dawg😔

💸 if you are the one to actually win a plushie and give it to him, bro will scream. He’ll immediately hug it and start thanking you. You bet he’s taking pictures of it and posting it on all his socials. Even sending it to groupchats and Jonggun himself with a caption of ‘look what my girlfriend got me hehe😝😈’ and yes he also sends it to you. He’s putting the plush on his bed or in a special shrine he made with a gifts from you.

💸 personally, i think Goo also seems to be a best friend and boyfriend. He would want to be in love and love you if you get what i mean. Ofcourse his best friend is jonggun, but that’s different from how he loves you. A main thing that is important to him is understanding, you don’t need to accept. Just understanding for him is enough.

💸 If you date Goo, it’s high likely that you too are a fan of anime. He doesn’t really mind which type you are. Manga, manhwa, anime, donghua even BL or GL. He doesn’t really care which one you enjoy. He just likes the swords in em you know. He would probably talk for you about his favorites and you about yours. It could be that the two of you read/ watch together of that you made trades on watching each other’s faves. For him it feels like he can share a hobby with you which he appreciates.

💸 I can see you meeting Goo at a bookstore. Both of you at the Manga section eyeing the same manga. You having if in your hands first and Goo demanding that you give it to him with a serious gaze, however his face would twist in mild surprise when you do actually hand it to him. He would say he is joking but you would insist that he can take it, he would find your indifference and calm nature intriguing. He would stare at you for a while you pick at another manga and decide to buy that one instead. You didn’t bother arguing with him because you didn’t think you’ll see him again. Unfortunately, he kept showing up even when he saw you avoid him. Which eventually made him say. ‘Miss. Go on a date with me.’

💸 Goo likes to call you ‘sugar’ or ‘sweetheart.’ Because he thinks you’re lively, sweet, addictive and always lighten his heart. He feels as if he can say anything to you, no matter what it is. Sometimes he even wants to tell you everything about his job, but he knows he can’t because it’ll put you in danger and he can’t risk that. You mean too much to him to make you see the stuff he does.

💸 Now when it comes to you being Goo’s girlfriend. There are a lot of people you don’t know who are in Goo’s life. And he also doesn’t think it would be relevant for you to know all of them. He would probably introduce you to Jonggun who wonders why you haven’t left Goo yet. And maybe James who is rather aloof and is on pretty neutral terms with you. Its save to say that James likes you better than Goo. Jonggun on the other hand doesn’t necessarily engage with you, but does little things like asking you to look after Goo or keeping him on a leash.

💸 Goo would go to concerts with you. Even if he doesn’t listen to the same music as you. He’ll make sure he handles everything from tickets to seats to time stamps. He’s pretty laid back about it too, he has it handled but isn’t stern about it. He’ll buy you merch if that’s what you want, even going as far as to go buy it himself during the concert so that you can still enjoy seeing your artist(s). If it’s in another country he’ll ditch his work probably and still go with you anyway. If the concert has lightsticks you can be rest assured: he already bought those.

I’m sorry it’s short. I ran out ideas😭

"Ford is intellectually smart and Stan is emotionally smart" is a statement that makes me want to nose dive into academic studies in order to single-handedly redefine the categories of intelligence because that *cant* be right.

[hero-dualies-pog]

always remember that you can block people over the pettiest of things

[gur-sevraq]

Not that I don't appreciate people pointing out that using Dude as a "gender neutral term" when addressing trans women is shitty, [because it very much is, please stop doing so immediately].

But uhhh...., how do I get people to stop calling me "man". Like you would think people at least understand that calling a trans woman a man is a no go, but apparently not.

[guideaus]

the drama with this puppy every day is so annoying 😭 my sister sat next to him while he's snapping at the cat's face and circling him, and she goes "awhhh, are you playing with the cat~". i come in to scold him to stop it (because the cat is pissed off and doesn't want to play), which makes my mom across the room try to scold him to no avail, and then my dad shows up and threatens to drop him off on a farm, which silences everyone, and my sister does this pathetic attitude where she insists he wasn't doing anything at all. then she walked away down the hall and was like, "It'd help if one of us wasn't a liar~~" and I'm just like

[bueris]

okay maybe I should seriously reconsider my path in life and sell my soul to marketing or journalism instead

I am experiencing... frustration.

[waywardsalt]

dungeons in linear loz games made you feel stupid because you’d sometimes be wandering without a clue until stumbling over a little detail you’d overlooked; dungeons in totk make you feel stupid because they hardly seem to trust that you have any more than very basic problem-solving skills

[wukodork]

Things people did before chat:

Got someone else to do it

Wrote 600 words that didn't say anyhting

Asked the fried group (a proto-chat, if you will)

Had tutors help them

Didn't do the essay (this is what I usually did rip)

Typed instead of handwrite and fiddle with the formatting to half a page into a whole page

Wrote whatever they could in the period before the class

Plagiarism

There was also, like, a lot less homework 20 years ago, y'all. Anyways, add some of the bullshit you did to try to get a grade when you struggled with homework.

[linklethehistorian]

Dear people who use þ in the English language:

Please stop. Seriously. Stop it. It physically hurts my brain to look at, it’s ugly looking, and it just makes everything unpronounceable and 80% more difficult to read every time I see it even though I know what it stands for.

Not all of us have brains that are wired to handle this pretentious bullshit. Stop putting the very slightly greater ease of some hypothetical people from the very distant and unlikely future where this catches on and becomes the standard for all people enough that anyone knows what the fuck to do with this dumbass shit over the very real and tangible neurodivergent people around you RIGHT now whose brains may not be wired to handle this shit and who now struggle to read and comprehend any sentence you write for like five minutes each time.

It is reaching a point where I am very close to instantly blocking anyone on sight who uses this shit just for the sake of not making my brain explode every time someone thinks they’re cute enough to try to use it.

I get that some of you apparently have reading comprehension on easy mode all the time, and good for you, but please, for fuck’s sake, remember that not everybody’s like you and this isn’t some cute little fun, “quirky” thing that hurts nobody. Some people have enough occasional struggles with reading shit to begin with, without you throwing an additional unnecessary spanner in the works.
