asks for night terror!
💥 (Collision) - What’s your OC’s combat style like? Do they adhere to any particular code of honour or ethics in a fight, or are they totally unfettered by that sort of thing?
and also i keep asking this one everywhere because i think starstruck just wants to be friends soooo baad but:
💌 (Love Letter) - How easy are they to befriend? Are they more of a social butterfly or a lone wolf?

cw: angst, off screen death, on screen death, major character death, way too little editing
----------------------------------------------------------
The first mask was when he was ten. Raph had already gotten his own on his tenth birthday, which all three brothers called unfair. But then Donnie and his tenth birthday approached, and Leo couldn’t stop bugging his dad about it. 
“C’ mon Dad! Raph already got his own mask, now it's my turn! For mine, can you make it blue and less bandanady? I wanna look like Lou Jitsu! And Lou Jitsu has these glasses that look a bit like upside down masks. But can it be in blue? You don’t even need to make Donnie one! Please? ”
His dad always chuckled and said, “Maybe, Blue, if you’re good.”
Leo always pouted and left for a bit, only the next day with the same requests.
Dad had worked a couple days sewing Donnie and his masks. Leo had pretended not to notice when Dad had snuck into his room and tried to sneakingly mark Donnie and Leo’s eyes on the fabric.
He had placed them in their christmas stockings and the tails poked out playfully. Leo had instantly fallen in love.
He put it on and admired himself in the mirror. They reminded him of Lou Jitsu’s glasses, a revelation that made him squeal. Dad had listened to him! He showed off his mask to his other brothers.
���Look! Dad made me a different type of mask ‘cause I’m cooler than you!”
“Did not!” Donnie protested.
“Did too!” 
______
The second mask was much later. It wasn’t blue and it wasn’t his. Raph had, without Leo’s permission, gone on a mission with Casey Sr. and Mikey to investigate reports of a nearby village that had found a cure for krangification.
Leo had looked at the live footage their communicators broadcasted in the days that followed near obsessively. 
There were times where April would come into Donnie’s lab to get his brother to bed, only to find a different brother staring intently at the monitor. She would nudge Leo gently. He’d barely glance her way. The monitor at most showed one of his brothers or Casey Sr. walking steadily through the barren wasteland that their home had become, but Leo started to believe that if he didn’t watch them then something terrible was going to happen to them. Something he can’t control. She seemed to understand that mindset, as she asked Donnie to get Leo’s monitor in his room hooked up to the footage. She was certain that once Leo was in his own bed willingly, he might actually fall asleep. 
After three days, she was proved right. Leo unwillingly slept that night. It was something he regretted for the rest of his life. Donnie had recorded the footage, which Leo watched so many times that every miniscule moment was ingrained into his mind. 
First Raph, Mikey and Casey Sr. come into the village. It was surrounded on all sides by sheer cliffs, with only one slim path for them to squeeze through. A red fog had draped over the ground, only allowing the slight outline of a village through its misty grasp. 
Raph signaled for everyone to proceed with caution, and they all stepped trepidatiously into the village. The only noise was from what looked like a community center. It was quiet, almost so quiet that Leo didn’t notice it on his first watch through. Raph told them to wait while he went to investigate.
Casey Sr. and Mikey waited impatiently for three minutes before deciding to go inside. Leo wished they didn’t. Mikey was never the same after what he saw. 
Raph was holding an unconscious person, who had krang pulsating underneath their skin. He has smiled, assuring and comforting and everything he will never be again.
The person had woken up before anyone could say a word and screeched out wordlessly. Everyone in the world knew that sound. It told them that the infected were close and would all be moving towards that screech. They were not equipped for a hoard. They all knew it. 
“Run!” His brother yelled. Mikey and Casey Sr. were wired to his orders. Like a switch for a light, they didn’t question or hesitate. They ran. Raph had yelled a battle cry, the light from his ninpo reflected in the damp fog. 
Then Raph screamed, and the camera shook as Mikey stumbled. His younger brother steadied himself and turned. Then Mikey wailed. Chains rose up and blinded the cameras, striking through the chest of the krangified person Raph had been holding. The chains rose and used the still attached person as a makeshift Kusari-fundō, plowing through the fields of krangified beings that approached. It was the first time his younger brother had summoned the chains in combat. 
Casey Sr. ran to Raphs side, yelling her war cry. His plastron was completely cracked through where his heart laid and his eyes were without life. 
She called Leo, who instantly shot awake at the sound of his ringing phone. The monitor in front of him stalled his every thought. All he could see was his brother. Dead. 
He didn’t have time to mourn right then. He made a portal and got them home, including his brother's corpse. Mikey had instantly collapsed, exhausted. Leo tucked him into his bed, then faced Raph.
He took the mask off of his brother's face and wrapped it around his sword. No matter where he went, he’ll take his brother with him. 
_____
The third mask was much too soon. Donnie had gotten obsessed with revenge, with hunting down the Krang and making them pay . When he left, it was silently. Leo only noticed he was gone by the mask draped over his keyboard, with a note for Leo to go to the ‘Leo’ file on the computer. 
Donnie popped up on the screen.
“Leo, if you're seeing this I am either dead or you noticed my absence too quickly. In order to keep your attention on this very thoughtful recording, I have attached my vitals In the upper right corner of the screen. Please focus on what I say more than my heart rate,” Leo's eyes instantly looked up at the vitals that were on the upper right. His brother’s heartbeat pumped at 160bpm. Leo tried to pull up Donnie’s coordinates.
“And don’t think about trying to get my coordinates. I have deactivated that feature of my tracker.”
Leo sat back, horrified. Just what was his twin doing? And where the heck did he go?
“Now, I’m sure you’re wondering just where I’ve gone. I can easily assure you that I have made this decision with a clear mind and pure logic. My emotions do not cloud my judgment so easily. However, emotions have nothing to do with the fact that they killed our brother and that I am making them pay .” A strangled gasp escaped Leo's throat, “Although my projected chance of dying is only at 60%, I felt it better to prepare just in case. As you carry Raph’s mask around with you always, I thought I’d also give you the comfort of mine in case of my passing.” 
Donnie’s recording continued to talk in the background. Leo brought his legs up and wrapped his arms around his knees. The world became blurry as tears budded up. He had to do something, right? 
A shaking hand brought his phone to his face. The phone rang. His brother never picked up.
The heart rate that had been going so quickly suddenly stopped. Donnie’s voicemail lines and the still talking recording overlapped each other. His hand went limp and the phone dropped to the floor.
“I have taken care to keep instructions on how to continue to run the base in the ‘Instructions’ folder. And Leo, I love you. I’ll see you soon.”
He sat there for hours. Mikey had been the one to find him, staring at the still vitals as Donnie’s recording looped. His younger brother had collapsed, sobbing into Leo’s shoulder. Leo mechanically picked up Donnie’s mask and wrapped it by Raph’s. Another brother he wasn’t with when they died. Another brother to keep by his side.
______
The fourth mask was during an argument. Leo and Mikey were camped a bit away from the rest of the rebellion. Their campfire was at a gentle flame, at odds with the intensity at which both brothers were talking.
“I refuse to be kept to the sidelines! I am a mystic warrior , Leo, and I can’t be a warrior without fighting!”
“Mikey, please, you’re too important to just go out there! I can’t let you get hurt or…” Leo trailed off, rubbing the masks wrapped around his sword subconsciously. Mikey scowled at that.
“I will not be another mask on your sword!” Mikey tore off his mask and stomped over the campfire. He hovered the mask over the flame, holding it by the short bands. It dangled tauntingly over the flames.
“Wait, Mikey, wait–”
His little brother, his only remaining brother, didn’t wait. His mask went up into flames instantly. 
Little flakes of fabric rose up with the smoke, resting on the rocky floor. It felt like a sucker punch to Leo’s gut. He watched as something that in his mind has defined his family for so long got destroyed so easily. 
“Mikey,” He said his brother’s name softly, mournfully. 
Mikey gave a quiet sob as he swept away his tears roughly.
“I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, ok? So stop being such a mother hen and let me do what needs to be done. We both know that without my mystic prowess we will fall. I’m the only mystic left, so let me do my thing.”
Leo opened his arms, a silent offer. Mikey rushed into his arms. Both of their shoulders shook from their sobs as both brothers collapsed on the other. The mask went up to flames, but Leo’s brothers were still with them. And they always will be.

Season 1, Episode 22: Devil’s Trap
Sam and Dean seek help from Bobby Singer, an old family friend in their mission to save their father from Meg. The brothers set a trap for Meg. (Directly from IMDB)
Director: Kim Manners
Writers: Eric Kripke, Sera Gamble, Raelle Tucker
Set in: Sioux Falls, South Dakota
We’re just gonna finish off this season now. It’s been half a year. 
WHAT DID I JUST SAY FIVE SECONDS AGO??? BOBBY FREAKING SINGER
“John just has that effect on people.” I love this man
The demons are multiplying
“A storm’s coming, and you boys, your daddy, you are smack in the middle of it.” it won’t be the last time
This is one of the first uses of a demon trap, I think
Does Bobby have his panic room yet?
Some more demon lore
they’re just now learning about possession?
exorcism too
“You think you guys invented lying to the cops? I’ll figure something out.”
“You guys just find your dad, but when you do, bring him round here alright, I won’t even try to shoot him this time.” Bobby is such a great character
Sam is using the top of the car as a desk and that’s hilarious to me
Why do they keep using each others names? It’s like every other sentence, there's no one else in the conversation
“I’ve got a corgi upstairs and he pees when he’s nervous!” 
Dena wanted to be a fireman, that’s adorable 
Are demons deterred by salt?
Cause I thought that was just ghosts
Also I was always under the impression that kind of like Batman, they were really cautious about humans under demonic possession, but I guess that hasn’t started yet
there it is
“I’m proud of you.” That’s literally all Dean has ever wanted to hear from John
And yet, this is absolutely heartbreaking. “He wouldn’t be proud of me, he’d tear me a new one.” 
“Make the gun float to you, psychic boy.”
Is this the first time they said the words, “meat suit”?
Have they not found the demon blade yet? 
Jump scare at the end of this episode, holy crap.

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers
(They were off during the update)

Funny things that I think probably happen with cyberware more often than Pondsmith and CDPR would write in the text but I just think they're neat if only from a wordbuilding perspective:
Hair getting caught in your deep dive port when you try to plug the link in.
Your sleeves getting stuck in the seams of your arm cyberware when the mechanisms retract back in.
Mantis blades accidentally shredding your long sleeves when you flex them.
A ripperdoc not having your exact shade of skintone on your new limb, and telling you to wait to get it replaced while it's on backorder.
Blue Screen of Death on netrunner 'ware.
Needing to register the new fingerprints on your hand if you get it replaced with a cybernetic, and the complications of having two hands that might not match up printwise.
People 'tattooing' the chromed parts of their body via laser engraving.
Metal plating getting so hot during the summer that you accidentally burn yourself trying to scratch your nose.
Forgetting to deslot shards and accidentally carrying them around in your head for a week.
Needing to clean the gunk out of your mantis blades or projectile launcher at home, so you flex it open and scrub at it with a bunch of paper towels or a bristle brush for an hour.
Rust and tarnish cleaner being a staple in home cyberware maintenance.
Actually buying projectile launcher rounds.
Someone starting a Mythbusters/Jackass style TV show about cyberware ("Hey gang! Today we're asking 'Is it possible to punch through a 3-foot cinderblock wall using only seven-gen Gorilla Fists?'")
Just generally playing with your personal link. Strumming it. Spinning it. Thwacking people with it. Built in fidget toy.

Season 1, Episode 15: The Benders
After following a history of disappearances in Hibbing, Minnesota, Sam finds himself locked in a cage and Dean must team up with a by the book sheriff to find him......before the hunt begins. (Directly from IMDB)
Director: Peter Ellis
Writers: Eric Kripke, John Shiban, Sera Gamble
Car deaths? Is the car being used as a method of kidnapping?
A cat just scared the shit out of Sam
Dean’s going by Greg  as Sam’s cousin. 
The police officer looked Sam up and revealed that Dean was dead and wanted for murder
Okay. Sam’s in a cage??
People...Shifters maybe?
uh oh. this man is going to get himself killed
also doesn’t he know that only dean’s allowed to call sam sammy???
So i’ve been writing this on desktop and I’m curious why the hell the second bullet points don’t show up? like why would it even be an option if they don’t show up on desktop or on mobile?
Dean’s going to get arrested for impersonating an officer
That was hilarious. “You’re a civilian and a felon. I think.” 
Kathleen is pretty funny
Wait they had a conversation with that guy. Who was he??
Maybe these guys are vamps? Or just really messed up people?
The Most Dangerous Game inspired. This family is super messed up.
Is this just taken directly from The Most Dangerous Game short story?? 
One of my favorite tropes is when they meet regular people that they don’t know, they look so strange. it’s a great gag
Honestly just watch this episode  for yourself, it’s super fucked up.
