#someone finally gets his jokes

i really do admire how lando tries to not give a fuck (that 'whatever' really saddened me so much) but he actually does, and a lot.

guy doesn't even want anything absurd, he just wants the support of his team for the last fucking 4 races but no... let's just get humiliated for one point on international tv💀.

they're really stretching him thin — and i mean it in a emotional and mental wellbeing way. he is obviously inherently selfless and quite literally does not hold self-esteem, but in the last year we've seen him trying to be more sure of himself and trying to be selfish for once. the moment he does that though, he gets accused of being the spawn of satan. and then the team does everything in the world to make it harder for him.

so i really do admire him, because i literally would PERSONALLY leave the sport after this one season.

he's so much stronger than i am.

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

Not gonna lie, I really love crossovers so one of my first thoughts while reading Clipped Wongs was ‘what would happen if canon verse bros met CC bros?’ I imagine Leo, Raph and Mikey would not take it well, even if they knew everything that happened was because of a curse

i think it would start out very appalling for all of the canonverse bros, mostly because so much has been like. aired out from the events that went down in CL and forward, pretty much all of them were GUTTED for all of the things theyve gone out of their way to keep hidden because of this. unveiled all of their little complexes. got their metaphorical entrails ripped out. they're going to come out stronger in some ways and more fragile in others, like i think they'll be a lot more communicative/close but there's a lot of soft spots. with donnie especially, although that's obvious

but after that i think they'd soften and be more understanding. canon donnie (cv? i'll just use cv for shortening purposes) would probably even reframe the way his OWN brothers see him, seeing how the pain they inflicted on cc!donnie experienced influenced them all. and i think it would be unnerving to see how they all look at him like they're looking at a ghost (cc!leo especially...). he never had his entire identity shattered, i think it would be difficult him for him to process the depth of that pain

and imo i feel like cv!leo would find cc!leo uhhhh Uncomfortable. like WAOW that is a little too close to home, too vulnerable, bro chill. ESPECIALLY if we're talking pre-movie (little tangent but i always think its weird when people make leo get super closed off after the movie in fic because it feels antithetical to like. the themes? whatever. i think it'd make sense for him to be a lot more open instead of hiding behind all the bullshit like before, although he has some new things to be stressed about. honestly i felt like the point of all of that pain was for him to be a better communicator)

cc!donnie would probably find the cv alternatives of them a lot more comfortable because its a glimpse of normalcy. i dont think they'd treat him like he's made of glass or get weird and overprotective, which is a trap his brothers in cc are going to fall into even long after things have blown over (theyd go so ballistic when he's hurt!). and i think they would know how to handle him a lot better because they're not clouded by this intense guilt-driven bias, although i think their demeanor would gentle exponentially the first time they see him freak out/have a flashback. its a fun thing to think about frrr

hey fujii do you wanna hear about a silly little thing i thought of earlier. so you know how in red/blue rescue team, eevee used to be in the "naive" category, whereas in explorers of sky, it's in the "jolly" category? it made me think about ribbons, specifically because of how the rescue team personality test describes the naive trait.

in rescue team, the naive type is described to be someone whos highly curious, and someone who likes rare things. their cheerful and carefree make everything fun for the people around them, but they also have the flaw of being childish, never sitting still, and always being on the move. (it also says that they might be selfish but i dont see that applying to ribbons tbh..)

it seems so oddly fitting for ribbons because her personality does show those traits in particular. she's a silly little thing and her bright cheery personality, and she is childish to some extent. and of course, can't forget her curiosity. especially with how curious she got when it came to dusknoir. and of course, we can't forget about the *actual* definition of naive. naivety in the sense of choosing to believe that dusknoir, despite how his aura flared with malice, bared no ill intent. to think that someone who is so great, so wise, so kind and caring could ever be capable of shattering her world apart.. that was naive. because she believed he was what she thought he was, and because it was her naivety that nearly got her and aimilios killed. you'd think she'd have learned from the drowzee incident where two kids displaying trust in a spur-of-the-moment stranger who coincidentally showed them kindness in their misfortune was a mistake, but i suppose that's what being a naive little child does to you.

(anyways im sorry if this sounds incoherent and out of the blue. have a good day)

DONT YOU DARE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS. THE JOLLY AND NAIVE NATURES FIT MY GIRL SO WELL. (Unhinged rant in tags)

[chevelleneech]

I cannot explain to you all how funny it would be to me, if Oliver’s longtime want for Buck to be bisexual, manifested in him being like, “Oh…”

[eyeballcommander]

soo...Commander Peepers. How's everything going? We haven't heard from you in a long while and I just wanted to check in to make sure you're alright

Bad. Not really feeling social.

[crossbackpoke-check]

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

[braisedhoney]

Hey kid, chin up. The only thing I ever really wanted was to take care of my family, and I got that. Sure, I’ll miss a few things. But hey, they’ll probably miss me, so I’ll call it even.

HAHAHAHA HEY HEY HEY OKAY YOU CAN'T JUST POP IN AND DO THIS—

ALRIGHT crew take your positions we're rerouting the ship to pick up an old man before he does something irreversibly sad in the process of saving the universe /j
