my hands: hey what if

me: NO—
my hands:
my hands: 🎉 Hot Hands Hour 🎉
context: I’ve got some autoimmune symptoms that are flaring up at the moment and there’s one I like to call Hot Hands Hour and it’s when my hands get so inflamed and red that only dunking them in cold water can help (not ice, too extreme a temp, I tried and it only made it worst lmao)

Headcanon that the boys were first introduced to Lou Jitsu through Splinter scrounging up an old movie to watch through a grainy projector. Splinter wanted to hype himself up at the time, to see a version of himself - however fictional - succeeding and being happy.
He watches, and smiles, mouthing along to the dialogue and outright whisper-shouting “HOT SOUUUP!” whenever it comes up.
Nestled in his lap are his four new sons, still learning the world around them and heavily reliant on their new father. They watch with wide eyes how lively their guardian looks, how happy he sounds, and they turn to watch the movie closely. Because, for as young as they were, they could recognize the source of their father’s joy.
So naturally, they come to associate Lou Jitsu with their father’s smile, and in turn, they feel happy themselves. To them, Lou Jitsu will always be a source of joy, and always make them smile, even if they forget why as they grow.
They’re not just movies for the four of them - they’re the distant memories of a warm lap and a smiling face.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rise splinter#rottmnt splinter#I’m in a turtle tot mood#the babiessss#I know a lot of people like to criticize Splinter’s parenting and like yeah he’s not the BEST#but despite his mistakes I genuinely think he did better than what could or should have been expected of him#like anyone else would not have been able to do it#he can be a little negligent and hurtful at times but I don’t think he was as absent a parent as a lot of you say he is#his flaws are there true but again - he loves his boys so much#that being said it’s no excuse for his mistakes and he should be rightfully called out for them#but sometimes I feel like people really overblow his flaws

hot take but maybe people should stop harassing/stalking the outsiders cast.
#seriously i’m so mad about this#people know right from wrong and following someone home?!#i have no words#like yeah i make my fair share of jokes on my blog but if i met them i would never even think about practically sexually harassing them or#<downright stalking them#behave or don’t go it’s not that hard#and to the person who justified it by saying they ‘’were asking for it because they’re attractive and in shape and wear tight costumes”#you are a vile fucking excuse of a person and i wish you the worst in life#imagine if the genders were swapped and a bunch of men/young boys yelled at young women to take their clothes off or followed them home#the internet would be going crazy and it would be taken a lot more serious#the fact it’s women talking about men doesn’t stop it from being gross and creepy and i hate these double standards#assault is assault no matter the gender#the outsiders musical#the outsiders broadway#the outsiders cast#the outsiders

Those fics where Tim figures out who Red Hood is before the Tower incident and purposely goes to find Jason only to find Jason in such a state that he can’t bring the man home like this
Tim: Jesus, he needs therapy. I need therapy. Jason? Buddy? Can you hear me?
Jason, tied up and glaring daggers at Tim: I’m going to murder you.
Tim: yeah yeah you said that already. Listen. How would you feel if I found us a family therapist—
Jason: dead. I’m going to kill you dead. With a chainsaw.
Tim: you’re not helping the “I need therapy” allegations, Jason. Look, I am thinking about using my own money but we’re going to have to be discreet about this. Bruce checks my finances.
Jason: with my bare hands. Kill you with my bare fucking hands.
Tim: I need to read your files again, you sure you weren’t in theater?
Jason:
Jason: Timothy.
Tim: it’s Tim. Yes?
Jason: are you allergic to anything?
Tim: oh my god, Jason, stop trying to kill me, I’m trying to heal you so you can reunite with your family.
Jason: gonna shove a whole bunch of food down your throat and see if something happens or if you choke to death.
Tim: insufferable is what you are.
#Tim: I have my work cut out for me but by the gods am I making this man go to therapy#Jason: therapy doesn’t help if I don’t consent to it idiot#Tim: fuck you for being right#Jason: let me go and I won’t kill you… today.#Tim: no I’m figuring something out. what about Stockholm syndrome?#Jason (privately wondering where the fuck Bruce found this kid): excuse me?#Tim: yeah yeah Stockholm could work#Jason:… help. HELP?#Tim: come back home and be happy about it or I’m making you love me#Jason (quietly): what the fuck#Jason Todd#tim drake#I am a fan of dark!tim drake

I HATE how much people do to defend noah on here and on twitter like why are you all forgetting he’s a zionist?
#I’m tired of the excuse that he is young and that he’ll grown and learn because he’s already grown and should know what’s right and wrong#what he said and what he did was NOT a mistake#calling zionism sexy is not something he’ll be forgiven for EVER#there are people his age that know better#maybe he could have changed after what he posted on instagram#but he really proved he doesn’t gaf after that video of him calling zionism sexy leaked#and i do not feel sorry for him because he put himself in that position knowing the amount of criticism he was gonna get#but he doesn’t gaf and i can guarantee you that apology on TikTok was just so people wouldn’t boycott season 5 💀#which also yeah reminder to not watch the season on netflix when it comes out and pirate it instead#if people don’t like noah there’s a valid reason and it’s because of what he did back in october 2023#you guys also need to remind yourselves that noah and the show most likely had lots of palestinian/muslim fans#and i can not imagine how hurt and upset they must have felt when they saw what noah did#so please stop shaming others for disliking noah because we have every right to#and this is coming from someone who was a huge fan of his and i even defended him from haters#but i can not defend him from this because what he did was just beyond wrong#stranger things#will byers#byler

listen as much as I didn’t really like the whole timeless children thing I do respect rtd not just ignoring it and rolling with the drama instead
#he’s already made 14 have bigger feelings about it than 13 was ever alllowed to#so yeah!#watching this space with interest#also a nice fuck you to the arseholes who use timeless children as an excuse to be a dickhead about Jodie’s era#like I … don’t like Chibnalls era very much#but it’s no excuse to be a wanker and try to retcon Jodie from existence#nice challenge for a writer to see what he can do with it#doctor who#spoilers

Everyone talks about how fucked up it was that people told kids, especially girls, that if someone picks on you it means they like you. And that is fucked up and should be talked about, but you know what else is fucked up?
Telling bullying victims to have sympathy for their bully because “they’re probably hurting too” (also that the best way to stop bullying is to ignore it, but that’s another post). That’s really harmful and just teaches kids to ignore mistreatment and abuse because the perpetrator has had a hard time too.
#like no#fuck them#idgaf#their trauma is not my problem#their bad home life is not my problem#they don’t get to abuse others because they have a bad life#I’m traumatized too#you don’t see me making other people want to end their own lives#bullying#anti bullying#my childhood bully came from a single parent home and her mother was a drug addict#you think I gave a shit when I found this out?#hell no#yeah I felt kinda bad for her#that sucks#doesn’t give you an excuse to treat me like shit though#that’s not my problem#another bully had an abusive father who humiliated him in public#I watched his father embarrass him at a school concert#and you know what I thought to myself?#‘damn that sucks. I feel kinda bad for him. still a dick though’#not ‘oh that’s why he’s body shamed me and called me slurs every day since third grade. that’s why he told that girl to khs. I forgive him’

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.
#jojo siwa#discourse#Her comment sections are VILE#I actually don’t hate her songs. They’re basically early-2000s new old stock and I like early 2000s music#Is she trying too hard to look like an “adult?” Yes. But that’s understandable.#What isn’t understandable is screaming at children for no fucking reason#and JoJo not helping at all when a girl was hemorrhaging out her belly button#when JoJo’s mother told the girl to “put a pad on it”#I don’t care how afraid you are of your parents; you END that shit the second you see it#I was raised in a cult and I actively sabotaged my parents’ preaching work on multiple occasions#I didn’t know if I’d get kicked out if they found out I did that; the only reason I still have a relationship with them#is because they never found out about my later sabotage#Dad preached to a waitress dangling a cure for her sons’ disorder in front of her nose as incentive to join and gave her literature#So I went to the restaurant with him and insisted I pay for the tip.#I gave her eight dollars and a sticky note with a bunch of keywords about the cult’s abuses to look up#The next time I went there#she said didn’t understand the sticky note and asked me while he was gone what I meant#I hate talking to people especially when I’m under pressure because I trip over my words even when I’m NOT anxious#But her kids’ lives being free of a cult meant more to me than avoiding a momentary discomfort so I gave a quick rundown#She thanked me and heeded my warning basically playing along with me and not saying anything to my dad about it#I was 20; JoJo was about 19 when her show was going on#She had no excuse for allowing her mom to do that.#At the very least she could have said “Oh god I’m so sorry she said that. Please don’t hurt yourself for my show; go to the hospital.”#But no. She didn’t do that. In fact she screamed at children and joked that if they were crying then it was a good show.#Bitch come here and do that in front of me. I double dog dare you. I may only be 5’5” but I fight dirty and I’m angrier than you#Sorry. I guess I do hate her… for THAT specifically.#Like yeah I’ve fucked up with the kids I help and yelled when I didn’t have to but I HATED doing it and tried to do better later#Why someone would SCREAM at kids on purpose for long periods of time for no reason is beyond me

people on tiktok well on all social media sites actually will loudly critique the fact some people (especially those who only watched the movies) “didn’t get the point of the hunger games” and then turn around and say gale is the worst person in the universe and treat him like he’s a monster, and that all these traits are innate characteristics completely isolated from the circumstances in which he lived and the people around him. like girlie i think maybe YOU didn’t get the point here either.
#obviously this isn’t to say you need to or were “supposed to” like gale#there are a lot of good reasons to criticize him. esp wrt his sense of entitlement to katniss.#but he’s not supposed to be a Villain™️#like he’s a poor traumatized (brown coded) boy whose very valid anger was used to groom him into a perfect soldier.#kind of almost like it’s a critique on the militarization of young boys. esp those who are underprivileged.#which doesn’t excuse his actions & it doesn’t mean you have to like him#but it’s enraging when people act like he is a heartless monster who is unredeemable or whatever. like. oh that’s not….#bonus points if they babygirlify cato and clove (and marvel and glimmer) and cry about how they’re just kids#+ “they were only the way they are bc of the capitol 🥺”.#like yes it’s a big point that they were kids groomed to be child soldiers because the capitol pressured and “rewarded” career districts#to churn out child soldiers and whatnot. but that. ok.#truly just how do you hold the belief that to an extent excuses them or at least makes them sympathetic—#—but then not extend that empathy to gale. side eye.#esp bc a lot of the stuff is taking potshots at gale to uplift peeta/everlark.#like. uh! okay!#obligatory disclaimer i don’t actually like gale. however i am at my limit on weird and bad and inconsistent takes on him.#yeah he sucks. almost like that’s because he was horrifically oppressed by the captiol + then was groomed to be the ideal soldier by coin.#crazy how that’s the point.#and AGAIN. doesn’t EXCUSE what he does. but it’s important to acknowledge bc it v much contextualizes who and what he is and does.#the hunger games#gale hawthorne#i don’t think i need to tag this in the anti tag but lmk

were all just mentally ill about rei and i love it lmaooo
Yeah lmfaoooo like. Gosh dang. I think it’s just us three Rei fans against the world atp 😭🙏
#polar’s asks#edgymcfries#answered#I frankly don’t mind. and honestly with my busyness from school. it’s nice to be able to read these thoughts. or think about the silly yk#deeply poignant or philosophical thought. and it’s about Rei lmfao you know? like it’s nice to be able to apply any skills of analysis from#English class and apply it I guess#like hubris—and Volo. his ‘tragic flaw’ his pride taken to the extreme. causing such a disturbance that he goes against the gods themselves#A mere mortal playing God HIMSELF! that Arceus sends off some random kid to take care of. volo’s foil. (idk if Rei truly is that since it’s#been a moment since I’ve played pla. shushhhh). and how Rei was the very thing (as mentioned before by pecha) protecting their world from#utter destruction and ruin—being replaced by a better world. but who’s to say this would’ve even been ‘better’ who’s to say it wasn’t an#excellent excuse for Volo to have a power trip#manipulating the anger and frustrated emotions of giritna and the small instability the world was in. etc etc etc. there’s so much to be#said about these characters…#AND YET…. I can’t focus on getting started on Oedipus the king notes 😭🙏#so yeah. a weeeeee bit mentally ill. apologies for the late reply btw…. I twas napping. also sorry for yapping in the tags. I’m mentally ill

I mean this in the nicest way possible: I wish I was a better friend.
#delete later#I know I’m not a good friend#but i think it’s trauma related#and I know that’s not an excuse#but a reason#and I’m just… also tired of people leaving me#I don’t strike up conversations anymore cause I was the friend who always did so#I was always the one making the effort to be in other peoples lives#and it sucks. ya know.#and sometimes I say dumb things that then like….. makes people not want to be around me I fear#and like…. yeah…. that’s part of life#but I’m just so tired of being alone#I want friends. I want people to send post cards and letters too#and I wanna hang out with people#and I want them to tell me things I want them to tell me how they are feeling#like. online friends are great!!#don’t get me wrong!!#but I know I’m not a great online friend either.#and when I try to be I fear I come off as flirting. like sometimes I am. don’t get me wrong#but I wish I could just… go to a friends house and sit with them and hold their hand when they are having a bad day and have the same done#for me!!!#I am always giving…. I am always giving parts of myself to people who don’t give themselves back#I still know my ex-best friends favorite color but I doubt she knows what mine was when we where friends#if you read this far just…. ignore it oof.#it’s just a rant#sometimes I rant in a tumblr post cause reading rants back in old journals is. bad. for my mental health#my adhd just picks the emotions right back up and then I go through it again. so it’s best to tumblr rant#I’ve also been having complicated gender emotions again#I don’t hate the idea of being a woman/girl as much as I used to. and it’s throwing me off a bit#I mean it’s right on time really… I have a gender crisis almost every four years…

deeply hypocritical of asagiri to try to pivot the story into the fake deep commentary on the state while completely ignoring the question of carceral system even with mersault at the heart of the story for years
#i’m way too tired to say anything of substance but i’ve been thinking abt the way asagiri writes political commentary and oh god#txt.#mersault is a foucaultian nightmare but bc of the way dazai and fyodor are written and directly referred to as 'monsters' (and said comment#being fairly understandable given the way they act) it excuses the structure completely making it seem like a reasonable structure to have#when i finally have time to finish discipline and punish… then maybe i’ll try to make this more coherent#but that will be july at the earliest so uhh whatever#whatever the gist of the thing is that bsd psychological storytelling and doesn’t work once you try to implement any serious social#commentary and also asagiris grasp of political theory seems extremely shallow#like yeah ok you quoted weber once whats next#actually it’s so interesting that theory authors apparently stay as real ppl in bsd ig im never getting a twinkified gilles deleuze…#oh and don’t get me started abt the hunting dogs how are you gonna criticize the state but have them be 'actually good’ bc they care#about civilians they are literally the state power civilians need protection from

okay hot take time with tumblr user designernishiki yet again.
i really don’t get the hype over majimako like. at all. I’ve tried to wrap my head around it but every time I just end up so confused how it’s such a popular pairing and wondering if we played the same game like?? they had no chemistry, barely even knew each other (and what they did know of each other was almost entirely built off desperate traumabonding) and people treat the pairing like it’s the most deep, romantic thing in the world despite there being like. nothing there. at least romantically speaking. it’s honest to god baffling to me.
their most iconic “romantic” image together comes from a scene where makoto wants to fucking run away from him because she wants to find lee, who she fully trusts and who’s in danger (and probably also because majima’s literally just admitted to initially planning to murder her.) and he has to hold her there so she doesn’t get herself killed by running (literally) blindly into the street or something. how on earth is that a romantic scene.
their little sort-of date consists of majima being kind and sympathetic to her, sure, maybe even displaying some surface level feelings, but she’s completely preoccupied because of the massively important issues going on at the time with the lieutenants who wronged tachibana, she’s more or less probably plotting their deaths in her head during that scene, and in the end she purposefully has him run to get takoyaki so she can flat out Leave without him stopping her. because she has other priorities and is Not In The Headspace For A Soft Sentimental Escapade to say the absolute least.
Whatever they were, they were not In Love, they didn’t have time or circumstances for that, or to get to know one another as Actual People rather than as incidental liferafts in the midst of a sea of traumatic, nightmarish events. majima attached himself to her and felt strongly about her safety and eventual return to normalcy because she reminded him of himself and wanted her to have the pleasant civilian life he couldn’t give himself. on her end? honestly I don’t think she felt that connected to him at all up until the end, namely up until when he fixed her watch. and even then “romantic” is not even close to the word id use for what she was feeling– in fact I think that waters it down, if anything. I mean like fuck she was there bringing flowers to her brother’s grave in the spot where he died in front of her i really don’t think this was about romanticism, it was about compassion and selflessness and wishing her good luck in her new, free life, while expecting nothing from her in return. he cared about her and her outcome in life deeply and this would be the case regardless of any romantic feelings for her.
Anyway I didn’t mean for this to turn into an essay and somehow I could go on for longer but I absolutely do not need to. I just. am so secure in my thoughts about this and sometimes seeing how people talk about this relationship and it’s supposed deep romanticism makes me feel like I’m losing my mind or played a completely different game or something ngl. don’t get me wrong, ship whatever you want I’m not saying it’s problematic or something it’s just. bizarre to me how popular and sensationalized it is. and a little frustrating how applying this overdramatic romantic narrative to them can so often water down a dynamic that’s way more nuanced and interesting on an individual character level.
#long post#rambling#it drives me a little insane. can you tell#I don’t know man#sometimes I really feel like a lot of people just like it because it makes majima seem more Normal and Less Fruity#not saying everyone is like that#but#I do think a large portion of the hype comes from this mindset consciously or not#and if I wanna get Real spicy for a second. I think the insinuation that he somehow developed feelings for her after knowing her for like#less than a week and only in the worst possible situations was written in as a way to- at least somewhat intentionally-#provide an excuse for why majima’s relationships with women in future years either crumble horribly (mirei) or he doesn’t take any#genuine interest in pursuing them at All. it helps to be able to point at shiyawase nara iiya and go look! he’s Like That because he’ll#always only have feelings for makoto! there’s definitely not anything fruity going on with him at all and he’s definitely not been#into his close male companion for possibly entire Decades#and what’s annoying is that this strategy. if it was. in fact. a strategy. worked pretty well#people really do think he’s been romantically hung up on her for years and that’s the sole reason he doesn’t pursue any women#(sans mirei but that’s. a whole different discussion. and obviously did not work out very well.)#but anyway#yeah#fun fact this pairing is the only tag I have filtered on tumblr like. period. fhfjfjdjdjdj#I KNOW that’s petty of me and like I said there’s nothing like morally Wrong with it or something it just. annoys me.#and I’m gonna be real since I’m dumping all this here anyway. every time I see an alternate timeline pic of them where they’re like. a#Normal Couple with a Normal Life and majima is a Normal Guy i physically recoil i just. i hate it dude i really do#like agshdhfhdhdh majima’s development into who he is hinges SO MUCH on embracing and accepting the fact that he’s not Normal and will never#be Normal and that’s okay– in fact that’s great in its own way because he doesn’t have to fit into a mold and can explore whatever#eccentricities and hobbies and parts of an identity he wants to create. for better or for worse. y0 majima still clings onto hope that he#has the capability for ‘normalcy’ and he sees that potential in makoto. but eventually has to come to terms with that not being an option#for him. and he mourns it at first but is quick to take advantage of the freedom that comes with that realization. and etc etc etc. it’s so#important to him as a character and such a big queer theme as well and I hateeeeeee when people erase it in favor of ‘but what if he was#Normal and not a Freak.’ bdhxhffjbfb I ran out of tags so I need to shut up fr fr
