One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.

It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.

Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.

Here's a quick incorrect quote for Mother's Day! Good luck with all these problem mcs, Opal.

1. ANATOMY OF A KITCHEN (excerpt from THE THRILLING AND NOT AT ALL REPETITIVE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MAN AND KID DANGER: “A CHRONOLOGY OF ENTIRELY TRUE AND HEROIC EVENTS COINCIDING WITH THE END OF HISTORY”) [2] [3] [4]

If you want to know a person, watch how they treat their servers, how they treat their food. Living with them is the second best option. Living with Ray is not Henry’s only option, but it is the best. They don’t even need to watch the other eat; they know each other already.

[ “There is a man in my house. There will always be a man in my house. I will find him even when he is not there. And one day, when I find out there is no man in my house anymore, well—I will go find one and invite him in.” Paraphrased and reappropriated from Catherine Lacey’s “Cut”. The borrowed text refers to the uncanny feeling Henry experiences as an adult reflecting on his childhood relationships. ]

Catherine Lacey writes in her short story “Cut”: “If you're raised with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house. You'll find him even when he is not there. And if one day you find that there is no angry man in your house—well, you will go find one and invite him in!” Peggy—a professor—reads this poem, which a female student has placed on her desk, and grapples with a response, to which she is advised, “It’s not your job to save anyone from their life or explain anything to them or even really teach them anything”.

PANEL NOTES

This follows the format of the catalyst stranger approaching the downtrodden protagonist in a dingy bar from behind, backlit by the hazy yellow lights and smoked out shadows. This is not a bar, but a kitchen—the center of any living space.

The borrowed text is tweaked, and excludes the descriptor “angry”, as the theme of the storyboards is not anger.

The use of red is limited and strategic, and scattered throughout like evidence; dusting for fingerprints. It’s tempting to drape Henry’s back in red against the blue background, as if bathed by an overhead lamp, but Ray is the anomaly. Henry is colored by an anxious, slightly melancholic blue (as well as shaky panel borders), while the flints of red signify danger (knock on wood) or non-literal symbolism.

The white wolf is curled around the blue in a protective gesture that also doubles as a stranglehold, snakelike.

Something, something, about wolves and lambs, consumption, and the simultaneous loss and retention of innocence through transformative processes. Note there are three lambs; these could stand either for Henry, Jasper, and Charlotte, or Henry (singular).

arcane should've been longer because if you replaced every montage to (admittedly very good) pop music with like, ten minute scenes actually going through the characters development and decisions, season 2 would go from a 4/10 to a solid 6/10.

for example, this fucking travesty of a scene

this scene hurts me so so much, not just because i love my darling jayce and this is an entirely unexplained decision that seems to just happen because it needs to happen for other characters' arcs, but because it's the easiest writing fix i could've possibly imagined.

it's literally so simple. here's the fix: write one single scene of caitlyn comforting jayce after the terrorist attack and convincing him to make hextech weapons.

this hypothetical scene could do SO MUCH for the show.

if this happened, it would reiterate how much jayce is willing to do for the people he loves and would act as dramatic irony for his relationship with viktor, because it's that exact dogged determination that constantly tears him away from viktor (when this trait is in service of mel, for example) and brings them together in the end of it all. if we were shown how jayce betrayed viktor specifically because his beloved, well intentioned, suffering sister asked him to, it would also make his "I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS" moment resonate a lot more.

additionally, it would feed into caitlyn's arc incredibly well, since it would act as foreshadowing/a precursor to her becoming a wolf under ambessa's guidance, and would show how she's both becoming more of a politician and would mirror her to mel (manipulating jayce despite genuine love for him and good intentions in what she's doing) in a way that could add an interesting mother-daughter tinge to her relationship with ambessa (and this could be mirrored to the silco-jinx relationship, since i know fortice lovessss its visual parallels). and on top of that, for an extra fun touch they could make note of how she'd be asking this of jayce despite his clear injury, and try and use that (non-typical for cait) lack of care/empathy to make her sudden shift to hurting vi make more sense.

do you see why the lost potential here hurts so much?

literally, the rest of the show doesn't need to be changed to support this proposal, the entire season could play out in all its centrist character assassinating glory and changing this scene from a cool marvel movie style 'whoa-these-characters-have-joined-a-team-and-gotten-cool-weapons' scene into an actual interaction between characters with arcs & would do nothing but help it. and yet we get a fucking montage.

we had what I’d call mixed success at Keps first herding evaluation today. he was VERY interested in the sheep and definitely showed a strong instinct to chase and focus on them - unfortunately he was also really struggling with focusing on anything else besides chasing sheep, so he never actually made it off the leash bc he definitely just wanted to fling himself at them like a bowling ball. so the plan for now is to take 6 months and keep focusing on his basic training, recall, etc and to let him mature mentally, and then re-try with stock in the spring and see how he does at that point.

tbh this is pretty much what I expected to happen (though I am still a little disappointed I didn’t get any pictures), so hopefully by the time we try again we’ll have some better training and slightly less Baby Brain to contend with.

the trainer we worked with was very nice though, she had some really good insight on what to work on. she's one of those ppl with a van full of 6 perfectly trained BCs in crates lol but she did say that she thought kep had good potential and said he had a really good, confident personality - "he's the type of dog you'll be able to do anything with" which made me happy to hear. so hopefully if we take some time to really study up next time we'll be able to really get started!

wufei or heero were the obvious first choices here, but i felt trowa could get a double torture better

I choose to believe that Mauga's mask hasn't slipped around ANYONE but Baptiste. Yes this includes in my venture/mauga/juno fic. He exposed himself once, bared his soul to his world and the bitter sting of rejection has stopped him from doing it again.

I imagine Sloan could bait it out of him- a little too goofy here, maybe a bit rash there. Unlocks the part of Mauga that wants to keep them locked up so nobody else can have them, look at them, touch them, talk to them. I think he wants to capture everyone he cares about, in this way, to keep them 'safe' and his and hidden away just for him to see. I think hes the type to clip your wings just to watch you struggle to fly. Or just to comfort you for the hurt he caused and doesnt regret. Baptiste showed him a hint of human connection, of feeling seen, of baring your chest cavity to the world and carving your love for them into your ribs, and he's been chasing that high ever since

Y'know I really feel like Harry and Dave's relationship goes highly unexplored which is a shame because there IS quite a bit to explore, ESPECIALLY if you care about shipping. But as the game stands I mean, they must be aware of each other. Harry in fact definitely knows about Dave. I don't think he'd tell the fucking weird rotten bunny his terrible boss brought in IS the number one threat against Freddy's since day 1 but even so. Dave I don't think would see Harry as much more than A Phoney™ though, which is always more of an obstacle and way less of a person. Which is usually opposite of how Jack sees his often sole employee. Like, you get what I mean? It's almost similar to 2 with the main opposing routes being Peter and Dave except the stakes are arguably way lower now.
