#so at least its the probably thing in the movie

It was a hard thing for Lanolin to wrap her head around. She wasn't trying to be rude, and there was no malice behind her words. But the idea of Undead, zombies, vampires, and liches were usually negative in her world. It didn't help that the Zombot virus left so many mobians with trauma, to the point that Zombie movies were often banned in most friend groups. She was trying to be understanding, but she knew it would take her time.
" Honestly i don't know how Duo will react either... but most Mobians from my Zone have had bad experiences with the Zombots. Myself included... As awful as it is to say... the ones who were infected early, were probably the lucky ones... at least most of them. "
she clutched the book in her arms knowing that a few like Tangle had full recollection of there time as a zombot. Those rare few who had to watch as they chased down friends and family, and could never forget that tragedy.
" Some of them... like Tangle remember every second. But its more reason to make sure she isnt left alone... "
Tangle was holding the book upside down trying to make out some of the runic seals. She was really lost and more then a little confused by it all. But she kind of expected that--- she was a fighter after all not a magic user like Amy. She probably would have understood all of this in a heart beat! Understandably the voice made her jump nearly dropping the book as she ended up using the hand on her tail to grab it so it wouldn't hit the floor! She quickly whirled around to see the tall Ruby red lizard with a sheepish smile!
" Eh me? Nah i was just... curious, I leave all the brainy stuff to Lani and Duo... hehe "
Admittingly Tangle was a fighter, and in that she was borderline a genius. She knew nearly 5 different martial arts styles, including one of her own making. The book in her arms was an arcane book normally given to children or, those learning magic for the first time.
" ... Lani and Reyna are over doing the important stuff, so i'm just trying to keep out from underfoot. Though i was curious what all went into it... guess it's way beyond my tiny lemur brain! "
Reyna shrugged about it being complicated. To her, Undead were still people, as they could suffer conditions so similar to those with skin. But she could understand that for Mobians it would be a bad reminder of past trauma. And if Tangle was a severe case, then she was right, they better keep her close.
"Good point. I'd rather not have Tangle experiencing a resurgence of trauma while we weren't with her." She says before standing up. "Oh, also, they prefer to go by the race they once were if you must refer to them as something. Lizard, human, elf, dwarf, that sort of thing." She says. She knows where every section is, so she leads Lanolin along to find the lemur.
Meanwhile, while Tangle is trying to read, a red lizard walks over, holding a couple of books in hand. He wore shining steely armor with golden trims on it. His eyes were a piercing emerald green, that seemed to be looking over the mobian with intrigue.
"Well, well, what have we here? I was not expecting a Mobian beside those two Reyna taught to actually try their hand at learning magic." He says. He then looks to the book of magic she's trying to read, and clearly struggling with.

Can you bring back de-aged Daniel 😊
why yes, yes I can bestie!!
Part 1 | Part 19 | Part 20
Max flicked on his indicator, waiting for the roadway to clear before making his turn. He glanced in the rearview mirror to check in on Little Daniel who was tucked snuggly in his car seat, looking out the window placidly and kicking his feet merrily.
Satisfied with what he saw, Max focused once again on the road in front of him. They were almost back home from making a quick trip to the shopping plaza. Daniel had been talking animatedly the whole time, and Max knew he was fighting from succumbing to his inevitable nap.
“Maxy, oh no.” Little Daniel murmured. Max looked into the rearview mirror again to see his little face trained on the ceiling.
“What's wrong?”
“Das a big spider.” Little Daniel whispered and Max looked behind him again, trying to switch between looking at the road and finding this spider. He knew Daniel was afraid of them, and assumed Little Daniel would be terrified. He wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of them either, but he would fight his own fear to ensure Little Daniel’s safety.
“Where is it?” Max looked around again before locating the arachnid walking along the moonroof. It wasn't very big, tiny in comparison to the spiders on Daniel's farm in Australia. And it looked to be on the outside of the glass at least. “Oh that is a big spider friend.”
“He's holdin’ on!” Little Daniel pointed up to where the spider was clearly bothered by the speed of Max's driving.
“Are you afraid of it Daniel?” Max kept glancing in the rearview mirror, attempting to anticipate a potential freak out.
“He's outside can't hurt. Mummy says it's fine if they're outside!” Little Daniel recited happily, shaking his head.
Max nodded to himself, already thinking of the best plan of action when they got home and needed to actually exit the car. He could manage a squirmy body. At least, Little Daniel liked to cling so he could maybe have a hand free to grab their things.
Little Daniel started narrating the spider’s journey to keep clinging to the car, complete with action wind sounds. Max nodded along, asking question after question and by the time they got home the spider had an entire backstory as a movie star practising his stunts that go ‘booooom’ and ‘wooooossshhhhh’
Max parked and took a moment to steel himself. The spider was still on the ceiling, clinging on it seemed, by its own web. Max felt bad about wishing it would have blown off a few turns ago.
“Alright Daniel, we’re home. Do you think you’ll be ok with the spider being outside while we’re outside?” Max turned in his seat to look at the bright honey eyes of his passenger. Little Daniel’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t thought that far. He looked back up at the ceiling to see the spider walking around in a small circle.
Little Daniel looked back at Max with a determined clench to his little jaw. Max helplessly thought of his older self, having that same focused look– the hard set to his strong jaw– while he went over data or agreed to his rehab plan.
“Yesh, we will be fine Maxshy. Jeff won’t hurt us.” Little Daniel said confidently. Max blinked, when did he even have time to name the spider?
“He won’t? Well If you’re sure.” Max waited for Little Daniel to nod once more before he exited the car and walked around to Daniel’s door. He quickly unclipped him from his car seat and lifted him from the car. “Do you want a piggyback ride while I get our bags? You can wave bye to Jeff.” He asked.
Little Daniel grinned before clambering onto Max’s broad back and clutching his small arms around Max’s neck. He always loved a piggyback ride. Max closed the door and opened the trunk, ducking in to collect the totes that held their purchases and pressed the button for the hatch to close on its own. All the while, he kept an eye on the spider still on the roof.
“You ready? Say bye bye to Jeff. The next time we go for a drive, he’ll probably be gone to film his movie.”
Max felt when Little Daniel’s mouth opened in excitement at the thought, he heaved himself up a little higher and started waving on arm excitedly. Max tilted forward to keep him steady, along with a hand on his bottom.
“Byyyeeee Jeff! It wash nice meeting you! I hope the movie is funnn!” Little Daniel called excitedly before clutching at Max’s neck again. Max walked towards the elevator while Little Daniel regaled him with stories about what he thought Jeff the Spider’s movie would be about. It was racing themed, because of course it was. Max smiled to himself.

Do you have any tips for beginner artists dealing with art block?
ah, good old art blocks...
In general, you probably need to understand what it was that drove you into this state.
Lack of inspiration, dissatisfaction with the results, exhaustion, etc.
Inspiration is unlikely to come on its own, you have to look for it. Pinterest, movies, games (someone recommended dnd and I think it can really help), music.
Sometimes it's possible that you're just exhausted and only a break from drawing and a change of activity will help you, this also applies to finding inspiration. You don't know if playing a game will give you :D (doesn't always work with burnout) If you're comparing yourself to other artists, you need to take it a little easier on yourself. Don't say to yourself “he's so great, I'll never be able to do that”, you can just analyze how the person achieved such a result, what he did and what you did. Plus we often have a tendency to compare ourselves to artists whose skills are MULTIPLE times superior to us. I know its hard, i still doing such mistake when i look at my friend's artworks.
OKAY, SORRY, SO, TIME FOR SOME TIPS i will write in text, but also will attach videos with it ( some of them in russian, but auto generated subtitles are good enough)
1. Don't draw a picture, but put it into words.
There is a few different approaches to that. The first is when you create a blank canvas or taking blank sheet of paper and just cloud draw the location of different elements and label them. Smth like that.
Another approach is my friend told me its when you collecting key words for artwork that you wanna draw. For this one like: dragon, two people hiding, caves, adventure, fantasy, gold, dim light. (at least this is how i understood that)
2. Try new things and practice in other directions
Sometimes you just getting tired from everything you drawing. So its good to try new things. For example im getting tired from my usual art, and its good when you trying smth new, like, landscapes, more realistic portrait/animated style, re-draw some screenshots from movies. Yeah, practicing and studies can help too, because you don't need to create smth, you just learning
3. Create smth from chaos (?)
Its more about traditional art, but i believe you can do it in digital too. We used to do this in college when we would paint on glass with watercolors and then put a sheet against that glass getting a chaotic print. After the sheet dried, we would take a liner and try to see some kind of image in the chaos and draw. Sometimes its funny of some sorts. this is not much, but i hope it will help you
Also a few words.
Its okay when art is bad. We are humans after all, and this is important to remember because -> Don't forget you need to rest. Don't forget to eat, drink (GO AND DRINK ON GLASS OF WATER RIGHT NOW) and sleep. (Take this advice srsly from someone who suffers from this). Take days off, you've worked hard for two days, it's time to take a day to rest.
I will attach some videos about art block in general and with some tips how to fight it below the cut for you, its have some more info that i haven include from them, because the post might be bigger... here it is ->

Of Hedgehogs, Chaos, and the Warrior's Heart
So here is the thing.
We don't know why Longclaw wanted to hide Sonic.
Sonic 3 spoilers ahead.
So upon rewatching the movies and Knuckles miniseries before movie three, this thought has been niggling my brain. Why was Longclaw hiding Sonic. We know Longclaw wanted to hide Sonic for his power, and the first real thought is his superspeed.
Except, when you think about it, superspeed is rather hard to use against a person's will and one of the harder people to contain. Freedom of movement is necessary for full usage, and if you have a speedster with freedom of movement, they can do a lot of things to escape. And really, what do you use it for? Super soldier, maybe, but it gets into that containment thing. Have in a hamster ball forever? Sure, but how do you keep him running and keep him optimal?
When it comes down to it, being used for his speed doesn't warrant Longclaw's actions.
Longclaw wanted an apprentice for the Master Emerald and selected Sonic for being superpowered? Well, possible, but that would mean Longclaw was doing EXACTLY what she was warning Sonic to watch out for. More over, its a pretty terrible thing for Longclaw to DO. If protecting the Master Emerald required isolation, that is a terrible thing to do to a child, especially a child as extroverted and friendly as Sonic is. So no, I don't think Longclaw's hiding away of Sonic had anything to do with the Master Emerald. I think she had ANOTHER reason and since she was already raising and isolating this kid anyway, might as well have him as the guardian after her. The Master Emerald duty was one of convenience, not intent.
So Sonic isn't wanted for his superspeed or his relation to the Master Emerald.
So obviously, I'm getting at his unlimited power source quills and EMP abilities. Or at least what they indicate.
Because let's be real, those abilities are weird. Those are not base Sonic abilities. Whatever is going on is something different from usual canon.
Now, a seemingly infinite power source like the quills able to grant things superspeed is definitely a hell of a thing people would want.
Then there's the sticking point.
Because Knuckles has the same thing going on. Why didn't Knuckles need to be isolated?
Especially as the Prequill comic implies Sonic is a known entity to a certain degree. His speed is well known despite his being a child at the time. Longclaw is known. Tails knows a fair bit about their relationship and what Sonic could do as a child. Sonic, himself, was a KNOWN entity as a toddler.
Which is weird because he wasn't doing heroics then as far as we know.
What is the difference between Knuckles and Sonic. And it was driving me up the wall because Longclaw is hiding Sonic for some reason, and Knuckles was allowed to run free, and the power ups isn't a Mobian thing in general, because Tails has yet to be a sparky sparky LED eyeballs with fur that grants superpowers.
And then we saw Amy Rose.
And the Metal Sonics.
And a lot of things started clicking into place, including a lot of weird things that have cropped up along the way.
The Metal Sonics teleported in as an army. Now generally Metal Sonic is made by Robotnik, but he didn't really have time to do that. More over, why is Amy here in time to deal with them at all. If Robotnik survived the Eclipse Cannon exploding (and let's be hones,t he almost definitely did), Tom is still injured. We max a few months after the Eclipse Cannon and Robotnik probably needs to recover himself.
So I don't believe he's the one who made Metal Sonic in this universe.
So the question is who.
And why.
First weird thing: The Scavengers. Here is the weird thing about the Scavengers. They dress as birds. They're not bird people and it seems the Owls may have made the same path as the Echidnas.
The scavengers, and the Metal Sonics are working in the same vein. Because its known that Sonic was raised by an Owl. Dressing as birds could be a ploy to put Sonic into a false sense of security, lower his guard for them to get the jump. The same for designing the Metal Sonics that way. They want to put Sonic into a false of security.
But that is a lot of work for a Hedgehog that they may or may not know is still alive. Its been years and he was on his own as a literal child.
Weird thing number two. Tails calls Sonic a legend. Why? Because by that point, literally the only thing of note that we know of Sonic that he's done is hide away most of his life and fight ONE guy with a moderately sized robot and stopped some petty crime. Now at first this could just be Tails seeing someone weird being cool getting some hero worship, but we see in the Prequill that Longclaw's home is considered a sacred site.
And we see Tails is cracking chaos energy. Sonic was confused for a place destroyed by chaos energy.
Weird thing number three. Knuckles and Tails say Sonic and Shadow look alike, which is weird when they would be around more mobians and aliens in general. Sonic looking at another Hedgehog and thinking 'they look like me' tracks because Sonic doesn't remember seeing another Hedgehog. If you see a pack of wolves, you're gonna think they all look the same until you're around the pack enough to tell the difference. Knuckles and Tails should be able to tell the difference, while the Hedgehogs are new to seeing any pack.
Weird thing number four. Knuckles says its impossible. That's a weird word to describe meeting another Hedgehog. They knew they were going to see an alien. Why not another Hedgehog? What about Hedgehogs makes it such a surprise?
Why does Longclaw need to hide Sonic?
Because Hedgehogs are hunted down.
The Scavengers dress as birds because there is a long history of Owls trying to protect Hedgehogs.
The Metal Sonics are Metal Hedgehogs, with a paint job because they're aware of Sonic's existence, so they made it more specific.
Amy is dressed like a survivor type because she is being hunted down too and she has to keep herself covered up and she's on Earth to protect some fellow Hedgehogs.
Why is Knuckles different from Sonic (and Shadow)?
The Echidnas may not be so different and that's why their numbers were decimated since not ALL of them should be hunting down the Master Emerald. A lot of Echidna's might have died in pursuit of power, but they may be close enough to Hedgehogs that they get tracked down for either use or destruction.
But they're not as scary as Hedgehogs.
Because Hedgehogs can access Chaos Energy with ease and Echidnas have to work at it.
We know in the Knuckles Miniseries that Knuckles knows he's had chaos energy all his life, but he wasn't able to access it. Not without training and hard work and a warrior's heart.
Sonic and Shadow, we know, never had a day of training in their lives before they were going nuclear.
Echidnas are a crafted blade.
Hedgehogs are a lake of gasoline.
Longclaw needed to hide Sonic because he was a Hedgehog and someone wanted Hedgehogs either to use or destroy. Hedgehogs in the wild are rare enough that his natural abilities were taken stock of.
Sonic is a legend because, by being a Hedgehog, he is destined to be something powerful. He was weird. He was unique. He was amazing. And he choose to help people with these abilities and that's why Tails considered him a legend.
(There is also a possibility there is just straight up a prophecy and Tails hasn't quite caught on how much Longclaw did NOT tell Sonic things. A bit of a 'this is a normal fact to Knuckles and Tails so it doesn't enter their minds Sonic DOESN'T know it' but that is very speculative without a lot of evidence to go off of.)
Circling back to the idea of the Warrior's Heart and the importance of the Hedgehogs we see.
Here is the thing, Sonic the Hedgehog has established that the power of friendship/family/love is, in fact, a thing that happens. We see Sonic go from on the floor to fighting Robotnik with the Wachowski's and town reaching out. We see the Chaos Emeralds react in face of a familial love. We see Knuckles go from the ground and drained to raring to go for his home. We see Sonic get the upper hand on Shadow when his love for Tom is provoked, and we see Shadow use his love for Maria to move the Eclipse Cannon.
And throughout the series we see a human do an act of superhuman ability without any aid of technology or magic gems a grand total of once.
Wade Whipple.
In Flames of Disaster, he does a standing jump inside of the cage, through the roof, several feet above it, and land without getting seriously hurt. While we may not know the exact material of the roof and it looks like cardboard, the standing jump is not a realistic human feat, let alone for Wade Whipple.
But he was selected to be the inheritor of the Echidna's way. Sure, his selection may have also been about getting Knuckles to live his life, but I think his selection was two pronged. One part was to help Knuckles learn to live his life, but another was Wade had a potential.
Chaos Energy.
How much, who knows, but it was enough that when Wade figured out how to connect to the Warrior's Heart, he was able to access that power he had to jump through the roof.
And Wade's journey is about trying to be good enough for his dad. The daddy issues were real. He wants to prove he's a warrior, prove he's good enough, to be able to reach his dad again. That was his motivation for his way of the warrior.
Connection is key for chaos energy.
Which makes it funny because the used of a lot of it have largely been those who experienced great loneliness.
Which can also go a long way to explain why the quills retain their power. Because the quills are weird. The quills being pulled off should mean they're dead tissue so while retaining some energy for a while isn't such a hard thing to believe, we know they can last one to fifty years with no problem. And that is base Hedgehogs. That points to an active connection with the quills. Which also goes along with Sonic's quills lighting up when he gets worked up.
Which goes into the Elephant in the room.
What's the deal with Shadow?
He wasn't created by GUN or Gerald. He may have been a natural born Hedgehog for all we know. But here is where we get into theories.
Because the other known factor for Shadow's creation is Black Arms.
And why I think Hedgehogs are hunted down.
And why Longclaw focused so hard on Sonic's heart and to not let himself be used.
And why GUN got real lucky Maria existed in the first place.
My firs thought is Black Arms like to target Hedgehogs for infection. Usage. Hedgehogs are so intune with Chaos Energy, they're prime candidates to convert into their hivemind and Shadow was the first experiment into that. Make him the hybrid.
Which may be the case.
A friend mine proposed another theory that feels more secure in what we've seen.
Hedgehogs ARE Black Arms.
Chaos reacts to connections. It doesn't have to be a positive, it just has to strong. The want to protect family, the home, tradition, is just as strong as grief, vengeance, and loneliness. Connection is the key.
Much like a hivemind.
And it would explain why the quills are active so long. To tap into chaos is to tap into a hivemind and then every part of someone becomes part of the entity. The quills don't lose charge because they continue to LIVE, even if they don't have THOUGHTS.
Its also why the quills so READILY give out their powers to others. Knuckles grants strength. Sonic grants speed. Shadow just grants pure, unfiltered power.
Its also why Sonic and Knuckles are able to absorb their power back from stolen quills or energy drains.
Maybe its why Shadow survived the Eclipse Cannon, its his power, he just needed to be able to absorb it again.
They're calling back the power from a hivemind.
It may be why Knuckles can see ghosts of his ancestors, because they have accepted this lowkey hivemind when they embrace chaos.
Other creatures need to work to achieve this state. To connect to Chaos, to have all of their body alive with chaos, and potentially connect to other in Chaos.
Hedgehogs are scary because they don't need to work for it.
Sonic didn't want to knock out the power in several states and a sattelite. He just wanted so desperately to connect to anyone, his powers reacted and called out anyone who was interested in him.
Shadow, despite his introverted nature and treatment from the scientists, connected hard with Maria and she became the light in his life. A light that caused madness in its absence until he formed an empathetic connection that let him see it could still exist.
And then there's Amy Rose, known advocate for all things love and friendship.
Hedgehogs have two ways they can go.
They can become the Black Arms, who are going to be scary, dangerous beings in the galaxy, enough to warrant scavengers to disguise as birds to put them at ease whether or not they're looking for them specifically. To warrant a robot army.
Black Arms who lean hard into the hivemind, the connection to others, to lead them to take and take and take for the betterment of themselves.
Or, what the Owls have discovered, if they can get to Hedgehogs early enough, they can teach them to love and care in a less destructive way. Perhaps something they learned in their long standing feud with the Echidnas, who have tapped into the power, but remained more sane than Black Arms. Their hearts can be good and pure. They don't need to let others use them for their powers. They can be an individual and remain free, even if their quills are in the hivemind.
Teach Hedgehogs to be good people who can do great things, as long as they are allowed to make decisions for themselves. Instead of being used by the larger group.
Shadow may be a hybrid. He may have been just someone who converted early into the state of Black Arms, but crashing into Earth cut him off.
But either way, whatever is going on with Hedgehogs, I'm pretty sure they are indeed an endangered species.

My Favourites (QueerSFF)
Song of the Huntress hit my historical Britain "give me Rosemary Sutcliff but sapphic" sweet spot.
A Sweet Sting of Salt is gentle sapphic selkie historical fiction.
Navigational Entanglements is now my second favourite de Bodard book, for it's spectrumy protagonists making connections against clan rules and behavioural expectations.
Metal From Heaven is full on dykey industrial socialist punk fantasy, I don't love Marney as much as Sideways in Scapegracers, but I was delighted to read this book!
My Favourites (Other Scifi Fantasy)
Liberty's Daughter is a Heinleinesque juvenile, a girl coming of age on a libertarian platform off the coast of the US, note perfect because it's by Naomi Kritzer.
Translation State gave me all the feels with its fish out of water protagonists, and of course there's interesting situationality because Ann Leckie.
Leech is cold industrial fantasy horror from a couple of years ago, that's mining a similar vein to Metal From Heaven in a very different way. There's a lot going on, and an interesting viewpoint character, part of a group mind temporarily cutoff from the rest.
Haunt Sweet Home is a gentle novella about a young woman who falls into a job as an assistant on a Haunted House Investigation reality show, her relationships with her family, her coworkers, her art and one particular young woman are beautifully realised.
Favourite Sequels
Three neat sequels and the end of two trilogies.
All the Hidden Paths is the continued marriage of convenience between Velasin and Caethari, as they find themselves in the middle of more political machinations. Wonderfully deft storytelling. m/m romance, fantasy and mystery, read the warnings.
The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles is the second mystery set above Jupiter, as an investigator joins forces with an academic to solve disappearances that may be related to the possible future re-terraforming of Earth. Understatedly sweet.
What Feasts At Night - Alex Easton returns, this time facing down a more personal attack on ka's own lands. Very Kingfisher. Less mushrooms, more dreams.
The Feastmakers is the final book of a marvellous YA trilogy, full of spiky prose and dangerous choices that I cannot over recommend.
How to Get The Girl (And Not Destroy the World) finishes Sian and Trillin's adventures, making the world a place where they can coexist.
Favourite Classics
Some classic reads - ranging between 1881 and 1998.
I'm glad I finally met the telepathic multibodied 'dogs' of Fire on the Deep (kitchen sink science fiction - there's a whole lot of other things going on), reading Eleanor Arnason's Knapsack Poems story in Women Destroy Science Fiction in the same year was a nice coincidence.
I'd read the Dreamsnake short story before several times, but not the whole book, and I'm very glad I did!
To Say Nothing of the Dog is a delightful as time travellers chase a completely pointless MacGuffin through Victorian England and the blitz, I followed it up with The Doomsday Book, which is similarly delightful apart from a future and past epidemic and pandemic killing characters left and right.
Middlemarch left me with many thoughts.
Howard's End was a watch after seeing the movie read, about time!
Most Read Authors
I read more than one book by at least 14 authors in 2024, but these were the three I read the most by. Haley hasn't been publishing long so I'm almost out of backlog there, but the way that Seanan and Ursula write I should be good forever.
Looking Forward To
@barbarawar
And some that don't have covers yet, so are probably further away:
Sovereign by CL Clark
Alecto the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Lady Chaos by Kate Elliott (probably 2026)
Every Speculative Fiction Book I Read Last Year Featuring Queer Women, the 2024 Edition

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases
#personal#rottmnt#although tbf its probably because with leo its unpacked more thoroughly in the movie#donnie is not a morally ambiguous emotionally unavailable bad boy. he is very sensitive actually#he's a little crybaby /aff#and like this isnt hidden. he isnt SECRETLY sensitive or secretly caring its very out in the open actually#he's not hiding it well AT ALL AND THEY ALL KNOW IT LMAOOOOOOOO#i think donnie's perception of himself is somewhat earnest and somewhat. not? he DEFINITELY thinks he's more evil than he actually is#BGHFHDHGJFHG#i think what causes him to lash out and struggle to communicate is his inability to articulate his feelings#they are just too big for him. like its the exact opposite of robotic#he cant force himself to give a fuck but when he DOES its too much#so he yells and lashes out or he shuts down completely#honestly i think the perception of him being too sensitive being a problem makes way more sense than the perception of him being 'robotic'#when it comes to struggles in how his family sees him at least#even in little ways you can see him take it pretty personally when he's insulted#he struggles to blow things off#and i think it would also explain his tendency to like. visibly calm himself down when he gets upset? its a thing he does a lot in the show#he desperately wants to destroy that perception of him because he's trying so hard to close himself off#he doesn't want to be the sensitive one that cant take anything. it especially works in line with his shell#it was a big inspiration for canary continuity tbh. donnie should struggle with being the sensitive one in fic more#mikey is more empathetic and he's more emotional but donnie's quicker to feel offended or take things personally#BACKED UP HEAVILY BY CANON#that 'you can be honest with me! no hard feelings' - 'he's lyinggggggg'#like he's not upset with them babying him as much as he is with them genuinely finding it frustrating that he can fall behind like that#and just cannot take shit like that. so he tries to pull back and not seem as affected as he is#theyre a very cuddly family but mind you they can be actually mean to each other like that!!

I'M SO AFRAID OF YOU GUYS HIGHKEY???
#/lh post#AM I EXAGGERATING OR HAS MY EXPERIENCE JUST BEEN WILD?????#ITS CRAZY BCS THERE'S SO MANY SLUTTY VERSIONS OF HIM AND SOMEHOW HIS HORNIEST FANS LIKE THE LEAST SLUTTIEST ONE LIKE😭🙏#OFTEN WHEN I SEE MEMES/ART THAT SEXUALISE OTHER VERSIONS IT'S LIKE FUNNY HAHA STUFF 90% OF THE TIME#with paul dano's it's just deadass FREAKY A LOTTA THE TIMEEEE 😭#AM I WRONG ??#it might be bcs the batman movie probably has a larger reach than a lotta other things (?)#cus most of his appearances are older shoes; in comic books; a side character in newer shows; the arkham games#and as big as the arkham games are there are obvious budget restrictions#whereas the batman movie has that larger mainstream appeal ?#IDK !! that's my guess. HE'S THE NEWEST ONE & ISTG I HAVE FOUND FREAKIER STUFF FROM HIM THAN THE OTHERS W/O EVEN WANTING TO 😭#batman 2022#batman rogues#dc#dc comics#comics#movies#the riddler#edward nigma#edward nygma#edward nashton#paul dano#paul dano riddler#rogues gallery#gotham rogues#there is gotham ed ig

ngl real missed opportunity by DC to let Harley and Mr. Freeze become friends during her primary villain arc (btas or other) cause tbh I can't imagine he'd enjoy sitting in his cell listening to Joker brag about all the ways he's cruel, abusive and uncaring towards Harley, a woman who loves him, while Victor's entire goal is to save his wife who he loves dearly ya know ???? and it's not like all of them haven't been locked up together, the other rogues Know. Joker's not like most abusers who try to keep it behind closed doors, he's very public with his abuse.
And just that feeling of like "I am doing everything I can to save my wife, I have become a criminal and have done awful things in the name of love and I just want nothing more than to have her back and You Have Someone Who Loves You That Much, That Much To Become A Criminal As Well And You Repay That Love By ABUSING HER."
#i know next to nothing about mr freeze so i may be wrong but i like to think im right#the temptations to include more of the rogues gallery in my ''Ivy Finds Out About The Ending Of Mad Love'' fic rewrite#((((((which i have not forgot about skdnksks i am Slow with things but like the og is a little over 4k#and ive got about a smidge into contents of the og chapter 2 and its already almost 7k so hopefully it'll be worth it#the wait that is#skdndkksksks#/// but like that quote joker says in the assault on arkham movie#''haha women amirite officer? cant live with em cant kick em out of a moving car''#like he probably absolutely just says shit like that cause he thinks no one is going to stand up to him#(well he probably would reframe if Ivy was also around but ya know if not)#harley quinn#harleen quinzel#dc comics#victor freeze#mr freeze#tw abuse mention#tw clown boy#mentioned at least

pls reblog for more ppl 🫡
#i am a mostly video game blog so I assume this will be a little biased towards that lol#polls#my post#for me its probably video games followed by movies. manga books and animated tv shows come and go in phases. anime probably the least often#live action tv I very rarely watch#there's no nuance option. if you don't ever do any of these things then god help your soul

Regularly frustrated by the fact that most of my fixations aren't mainstream enough to have much in the way of official merch, but for the sake of both my sanity and my wallet, that's probably a good thing
#GG ironically is probably the biggest#but a lot of it (or at least the characters I like) is still either really old and hard to find or requires a shitton of import fees#got into a bit of a rabbit hole of videos abt what smash bros characters have figures/plushies#baffling to see that Little Mac hasn't really had much of anything at all since the 80's#and those were of dubious quality anyway...#ARMS basically never got anything in general#katamari was pretty much always niche Japanese stuff aside from like two things that got released with the reroll series#I think psychonauts got a little pool of stuff from fangamer but that's still mostly art iirc#frontier is the black sheep of digimon so there's like nothing for that either#I suppose bugsnax had a little despite being an indie game#shoutout to my big sister for buying me the Filbo doll as a christmas present#sly's got zilch aside from the really limited funko afaik#I suppose my main vice is pokemon#no shortage there#but my favorite pokemon is fucking trubbish so we're not on the level of pikachu here#(yes I own the sitting cutie trubbish and he's my special little boy)#hmm.#street fighter is a pretty big series isn't it?#somehow I haven't looked much into its merch#outside of trying to find the little standee figure they made for bosch#perhaps I will regret it#christ even my favorite disney movie is the one that never gets any merch of it#I'm not sure if I'm very lucky or incredibly unlucky#op back on her bullshit

i was watching a music video for a japanese song and it had built in youtube english captions so i went to turn those on but then i saw that there was like an option for "English" and then a second option for "English (Canada)" and i realized in a few seconds it was just a workaround to having two sets of english captions, one with colour changes in the lettering and one without for accessibility (the canada one was the non-fancy lettering) but for a moment i was living in a world where they were making dedicated canadian english translations for things..... measuring temperature in celsius and height in feet...... paying with loonies and toonies... going to the WASHROOM
#pencil crayons for colored pencils is a favourite but its mostly just an ontario thing tho from what ive heard LOL#calling electricity hydro is another good one. although that also depends on province <3 ontario and i think BC? and maybe more#sorry im ontarian. you can make fun of me for it its okay.#you know sometimes i think about attempts at 'canada english' settings in word processors and stuff#they always suck ass. because every person in this god damn country uses whatever word and spelling they want LOL#like theres some general likelihoods like colour and favourite are common. but centre or center? its like 50-50#i personally use both. depending on i dont know. context? the phase of the moon and stars?#theatre and theatre i see both as well and also personally use both but i have like specific rules for myself for some reason#i use theatre for playhouses and theater for movie theaters. i dont know why#and dont get me started on measurements. thats another combo of context and personal preference#people who work more in like trades switch a lot because of product labels but tend to lean more imperial#people who work in like i dunno. chemistry or something probably use a lot of metric#the average person working in neither? honestly they'll probably say both in the same sentence at least where i live#when installing art basically everyone uses both inches and cms depending on which ones more convenient on the ruler LOL#our drivers licenses in ontario say our heights in cm but literally no one can picture it with the cm measurement because#colloquially everyone says heights in feet and inches. its fine. its fine#edit: WAIT i got so distracted by measurement bullshit i forgot to mention the song. it was insomnia by eve#good tune as usual of eve and also a really beautifully animated and emotionally intense music video

I did a fanart
There's no path of trampled flowers around so I guess they all flew down while in whimsical laying position idk, just don't think about it lol
#cheshire crossing#fanart#Cheshire Crossing fanart#Does Wendy look dramatic?#I tried to make her look sad/not thinking happy thoughts but also in a whimsical victorian girl fairytale aestedic kinda way#and in the Wizard of Oz movie Dorthey lays in a similar position to the one she's in here in a field of flowers#And Alice is supposed to have her Disney-falling-down-the-rabbit-hole silloette#Wendy didn't really lay down in her story I don't think#at least not that i can remember#but then i noticed she does lay down in Cheshire Crossing#on her bed#its like the first thing she does when getting settled in#but by the time i realized this i'd already drawn all those flowers#so... many... flowers...#Wendy and Dorthy are accepting how sucky their lives have been being gaslit and borderline torchered in Victorian asylums for years#(they seemed a little in dinial in CC)#while Alice is just happy she finally has friends who believe her and aren't torturing her in a Victorian asylum#get it?#its like the opposites of their worst habits or something#they're free to feel their feelings at Cheshire Crossing#that's what the daisies symbolize#btw why did Sarah Scribbles draw Cheshire Crossing (the building and its grounds) the exact same as Alice's childhood house/mansion?#it even has the same green plants on both#No one ever mentions it!#And it's not like that in the og artwork#why did Alice never mention this is her old house?#or did she just materialize near the future Cheshire Crossing when coming back from Wonderland?#But then why was her dad walking through some random field that wasn't his?#I should probably make this its own post#but I'm leaving this rant in here cause I think it's funny

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it
#i pirated that shit Btw just so we're clear. also gonna talk about it a little bit in the tags#nothing too spoilery but also might not wanna read if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing? idk#anyway he WAS a main character still he was present for a decent amount of the first couple episodes#but the amount of screentime he gets just starts dropping after that . hes barely there at all in the second half ???#and it feels like theres a lot of scenes mostly focusing on wade and his problems and not near as many for knuckles and his whole deal#overall it feels more like a wade show with knuckles in it than a knuckles show with wade in it. which sucks#and human characters having plot relevance isnt the problem here i dont mind human characters at all i think they can be really fun#its the fact that the human characters are taking over the story and spotlight when the show is called knuckles#and all the marketing makes it look like knuckles is the main focus#and i also would have preferred if they just went with a differnet character to be knuckles' human friend#because i dont particulraly care about wade. and the knuckles (and sonic and tails) i know would not be friends with cops </3#well at least the story wasnt knuckles training wade to be a better cop like a lot of people were expecting but thats like.the bare minimum#also aside from the issues relating to knuckles' screentime (or lack of screentime) i thought the ending was unsatisfying#regardless of all that though there WERE some parts i enjoyed or found kind of funny or whatever. because knuckles so cutesy as always#knuckles being a cute little guy is the most important part of the show actually#and i liked the parts with sonic tails and maddie even if they were only there for like 5 minutes#(i really wish those three had gotten more screentime. i feel like they could have easily worked in at least one more scene with them)#and its a minor thing but the opening sequence is cute. was honestly expecting just a title card or something#overall the show is just . kind of okay i guess. not the worst thing ive ever seen but still disappointing ? idk how to explain..#my expectations also werent very high in the first place#so maybe im being a bit more generous than i would have been otherwise. idk#and i definitely would not recommend this to anyone who already dislikes the sonic movies . youll probably hate this more#like people who thought the human characters got too much screentime in the second movie would lose their minds if they saw this
