Hihii ive been going insane abt itat since like the day i saw it lmao i love it sm

I’m kinda wondering, does Odile have a thing she just can’t look at the same after the loops are over? Like how Siffrin is with bananas n stuff?

Or is that gonna be saved for like. later or smthn

She'd eventually figure out how to get the familytale

She'd even read through it multiple times

But with everything happening... As time "goes on" it gets hard to look at

She stops asking for it

ngl I always find it wild to see Star Wars stuff that's like "if you think about it in terms of realistic statistics/science then..." about almost any aspect of it.

I mean, what about the Star Wars films gives the impression that this universe abides by realistic statistics, or realistic anything else? SW is broadly a fantasy epic projected onto an IMAX screen with a space background painted on it. Yeah, the planets and moons in the films almost always have improbably limited biomes and two major locations max, because narratively these locations are usually just fantasy city-states with space aesthetics.

Starships travel at the speed of plot and we simply jump past the amount of time that presumably is passing, and sort of imply the passage of that time through shifts in the character dynamics. But this passage of time cannot be analyzed with any kind of consistency because the only logic governing it is the pace of the story.

Just how long did it take the Empire to send a full contingent of forces to Dantooine, search the entire planet, find the Rebel base, and then report back to Tarkin between one scene and another? No one says and no one appears to care. How long did it take Han and Leia to reach Bespin and what exactly went on between them while Luke was, in the same time frame, going through a protracted training over multiple days at an absolute minimum? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do giant space worms survive inside asteroids that somehow have an Earth-approximate gravitational field and I guess an atmosphere? Shhhh don't think about it. The point of the sequence is not "how does the giant space worm subsist off this random asteroid and how does it breathe and how does gravity work in this context, seriously" but that the giant worm sequence is fucking sick.

There's probably some after the fact EU justification invented by people who had nothing to do with the original writing of the space worm (or perhaps there are several mutually incompatible explanations) and I am profoundly disinterested in them. Nothing could make this even slightly realistic and it was never intended to be. Star Wars sings space shanties at scientific/mathematical realism as it sails past on a completely different ship going in the exact opposite direction.

And I do mean "sails" because while astronomy might tell us that space is unfamiliar and wild on a level we as Earthbound lifeforms can barely comprehend, Star Wars understands that space is basically an ocean, yet with stars and cool but survivable planets in it, or sometimes it's air but combined with a super cool space background so you can have early 20th century aerial combat that would make no sense in actual space conditions and doesn't need to.

"If you consider relativity, then just running the Empire would be..." General relativity does not govern the galaxy far, far away. Space magic does. I'm not sure there are even time zones.

y’all aren’t ready to hear about the fact that I think that MM!Donnie could easily be one of the smartest Donnie’s everywhere

When they first introduced Gabriel and he sounded like a man who actually runs a fashion company I was so flabbergasted.

GUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who love collabs, check this out!!!!!!! This is the trailer for Extrovert Ed’s 3rd audio in his Spider Man series and his collab partners are out of this world!!! This is a 9M6f for A!

The trailer doesn’t list all who are in it, but we have Scythe Audio, the Sack Pod (Dade Audio, Nomad Tales and Audio, Cardlin Audio, & Kabuyama VA) Kim Carter, Eris Serenity, and Weeb Trash Audio is BACK!!!

I am so excited!!!!! I’m trying to think of who the other artists could be based on his other collaborations and those in this circle. This leads me to Big Man Audio, or maybe Escaped Audio, Shezu Rivera, Good Boy Audio, Obsidian Lantern, Siren’s Son? All of them have worked with one or more of the listed cast. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, the whole racism regarding a fan casting of an actress of color just made me hate the Disney version of the fairy tale even more.

Fuck all the unnecessary shit Disney added in the fairy tale like the dumb flower that makes blonde hair magical, the “I want to be young and pretty for no reason” as a motivation like it’s the 50s and the the fact that the villain is even more of a offensive antisemitic caricature than the fairy tale ever was. It also gave birth to the worst and most annoying fandom known to man. They are just as bad and racist as swifties and mcu Wanda stans! Not hard to see why as the movie appeals to their trash ass ideals.

Tangled was a fucking mistake, Disney should have never adapted rapunzel and it should have never been released in 2010.

I JUST FINISHED TOTTMNT AND I WANNA RANT ABOUT IT RN CUZ IT WAS REALLY GOOD

(Very long post under the cut)

So first off, the animation? S TIER. The fight scenes are so peak, OH my God I was having the time of my life watching them duke it out on the yacht, 10/10 fight choreography.

I think I liked the Pearl Heist arc of the show better out of the two arcs, but they both had their upsides. In the Mechazoid arc, I think giving the turtles their own solo missions initially was a smart move in order to flesh out their individual personalities after being a group the whole time in the movie. I loved this take on Bishop and hope she pops up again now that she's in cahoots with the EPF. She was a super interesting villain and had a great conflict with the turtys. Rod was okay, I'm low-key peeved that he didn't turn into Mutagen Man though. And RIP Metalhead, he was gone way too soon, fingers crossed he gets rebuilt in the second movie. The Purple Dragons were great too, and I'm not gonna lie, Hun and Angel really intrigued me. What's their deal? Are they siblings or friends or dating or what? And WHO IS CANE, WHY DOES SHE HAVE A HOCKEY STICK I HAVE TO KNOW

The Pearl Heist was such a fun and engaging story, and I'm stoked that they made whole new characters for it after cramming every existing character into the movie. The East River Three were pretty fun and legitimately had an interesting conflict regarding their mutation that was neat to see unfold. They had the turtles go off on solo missions again but this time with most of the mutanimals , which again was nice since they all got next to zero personalization in the movie. Aside from Mondo Gecko, Rocksteady, and Bebop, I think every mutant got a chance to do something. Sadly, I think Wingnut and Donnie's interactions were probably the least interesting to me, since most of the time they were just making pop culture/ fiction references that got a little old after a bit, and they didn't really have any lasting or interesting conflict with each other, which really sucked. Mikey and Genghis were pretty fun together and bounced off of each other well, and Scumbug/Ray Filet(?) being the only two who can't talk properly being paired with the very impatient Raph was low-key genius.

I also love how young the turtles feel in this version. Not to say that this is a first -they've felt like teenagers before, especially in 2012 and Rise- but I feel like the Tales turtles feel the most like kids I'd see at school. Immature, unserious, hormonal, impatient with life, and desperately wanting to be cool and edgy but just ending up like the silly dorks they are. It's so realistic and captures a different side of teenage behavior I feel like is brand new for the turtles, at least to me.

ESPECIALLY RAPH I LOVE MY BLUNT VIOLENT CHILD SO MUCH--

Yeahh Raph was predictably my favorite as he always is. He was almost like a younger, more immature version of 2012 Raph and I really enjoyed his snarky, "Im the best hehe" attitude. I also really liked how this version of him doesn't seem to have a conflict with Leo about being the leader, and instead just finds his attempts at heroism lame but still usually going along with his plans. It's admittedly a nice change of pace, although I'm still anticipating the classic "Leo vs Raph" argument/fight that every iteration has. (Also side note but I felt that scene where he started trashing the sewer house from pent up anger DEEP in my soul. I am him and he is me.)

Surprisingly, my second favorite ended up being Leo, which hasn't really happened before.

I was sort of neutral towards him at the start, since he didn't really seem to have that much going on in the character department besides the usual "I need to be a good leader" and "I can't do this without my brothers" struggle that every Leonardo faces (no shade)... But then we watched the second half with the Pearl arc and holy crap his episode with Pete was legit the funniest episode in the show to me. The exasperated, "exhausted mother with feral child" dynamic that he had with Pete was really funny, but then that ending had me and my sister in STITCHES. Like come ON, you can't tell me that Leo finding out Pete can talk isn't comedy gold. He's just such a cringefail nerd who desperately wants to be Batman and I hardcore kin him now.

I have a lot less to say about Donnie and Mikey. I thought they were pretty solid, and despite not liking him at first this version of Mikey actually grew on me quite a bit. The fact that he's a lot more mellow and down to earth compared to other versions didn't really bother me after a while, and I grew to enjoy his a little naive but earnest interactions with all the antagonists. Donnie is still the nerdy tech guy, and although he was probably the least entertaining to me, I still enjoyed him a lot and thought he had some funny moments. Plus, he created Metalhead, and that's always amazing.

The humor in general was kind of hit or miss, but when the jokes landed they were honestly really funny, and like I said the actual story lines and animation were excellent. Overall I'd give TOTTMNT a very firm 7.5/10.

Anyways... This was a very long post and my thumbs are tired from typing. This is very much just a stream of consciousness type post so sorry if it's hard to follow lol. I have more to say but tbh I forgot what that was so I might add to this later. So uhhhh bye

im bitter about the fact that Casey Jones still hasn’t been introduced in TOTTMNT/TMNTMM so I made an AU where Oroku Saki has three children with a woman named Cassidy Jones

[dyinggirldied]

We have Cale - Penelope as siblings. Now what about Cale- Shuri as siblings/distant cousins?
