#s: how soon is now

[turtleblogatlast]

I love Raph and haven’t said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy who’s a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now

Yeah a teaser dropping on ST day would be cool. But can we agree that a DNA board reveal would be infinitely better?

Yknow I don’t think curly is as bad as Jimmy or knowingly helped him steal IDs or whatever. But I doooo think people going “the good intentioned thing means there’s no action he could’ve taken to know abt Jimmy before canon” is missing just how much you can rationalize yours and others behaviors. Especially if you want to see the best in them/yourself.

Which can lead to MORE rationalizing because sunk cost fallacy, to become better you have admit you were worse. And a lot of people aren’t willing to do that, or even think about the possibility they might need to be doing that. (Jimmy is basically doing this x10)

I’m just saying, in the interview she ALSO later says “…people like [curly] are defending perpetrators or use their power to cover up for misbehaving friends while still thinking they are doing a good, generous thing.” as we can see with Jimmy, you can rationalize anything to any extreme to convince yourself you’re doing good if you’re dead set on it.

Curly can genuinely have good intentions, want to help Anya, but still be *willfully* ignorant. You don’t have to be fully cognizant of WHAT you’re ignoring to be willfully ignorant, in fact that’s pretty counterintuitive to the term. But I do think curly could’ve chosen to dig deeper into this beforehand, but was afraid of what he’d find. So he held off until the problem became too big for him to be ignorant about. To quote the interview again, “good intentions don’t mean much when the situation has already gotten massively out of hand.”

For the first time in a good few years, I'm pleased to announce that I am designing a brand new line of robot master OCs for a faux Mega Man project like Mega Man Ultimate— and while I'm still a little ways in revealing the bigger details, I really wanted to post art I drew of my latest fanon robot master... the effervescent Dazzle Woman! 💛🧡✨

The poem evokes human greatness and human vulnerability. People are “godlike” in their courage and skill, but even the greatest mortals fall and clutch the dust between their bloody fingers. The beautiful word minunthadios , “short-lived,” is used of both Achilles and Hector, and applies to all of us. We die too soon, and there is no adequate recompense for the terrible, inevitable loss of life. Yet through poetry, the words, actions, and feelings of some long-ago brief lives may be remembered even three thousand years later.

Witchy Lucy on/near Halloween is becoming something of a tradition, I fear.

This time she's a kind of a witch/Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas hybrid, though. The whole Presumed Unrequited But In Actuality Very Much Requited Love element of ML has always reminded me v much of Sally and Jack (Skellington's) dynamic.

After finishing both this and an alternative doodle, however, I realised that ML Luce would probably enjoy dressing as something science or medicine-related for Halloween.

I feel it incumbent on me to inform you, therefore, that, as well as going as Sally this year, for Halloweekend 2 she went as a misfolded protein. Because there's nothing more blood-curdling than prion disease. And the year before she was Plague Doctor Barbie (Barbie Summer and all). And the year before that she was False Vacuum Decay. Or maybe an Anthrax Spore. Or antibiotic resistance. Or the Hindenburg Uncertainty Principle. Or noble gas (you only need a crown and a whoopee cushion for that one).

I can also see her going as cluster of protons and neutrons and having Jack flounce around her all night as an electron. Mans will indeed do whatever the hell she wants; in fact he's content to help her bring any of the above concepts to life, no matter how convoluted or nerdy. ❤️

Trying to draw said concepts however presented something of a challenge, so for now -- witch Lusally. And also the 'my cute/hot/etc. witch/goth gf/wife' meme bc I've been itching to do it for months now! ☺️

The theme of a natural science is so vast that its hard to summarize it…) Haruka: (Come to think of it, is he in a meeting or something? Since I came here to observe his recording, I had to at least greet him somehow) Shion: Oh… what a lovely bird. Looks like you came here to heal Amakusa. Haruka: (Amakusa-san…! So he's resting on a bench. Looks like he's talking to a little bird… maybe it's better if I didn't interrupt him.) Shion: You can use me as a perch and rest your wings. Now, come here onto this finger. Shion: This recording is a special feature on your friends. It's the last episode before the program is renewed. Shion: A familiar set, with a touch of colors in its song… Many things are being reborn yet I have been ordered to continue. Shion: ...My heart is filled with warm joy. This program is definitely something to be cherished. Shion: Mysterious nature and science that challenges the unknown. The emotions that it bring shall never cease to move Amakusa's heart. Shion: I believe it's my mission to make this feeling resonate with so many people. Haruka: (…Looks like Amakusa-san really took a liking to this program) Shion: Thanks to you, I was able to reflect on such an important beliefs. Shion: As a token of my gratitude, I shall present you a song. …~��� Haruka: (How beautiful… It's like his kind heart is literally embodied within his voice… Ah, I feel like I've grasped something now…!)
