[dandylovesturtles]

a comment on the other Step-brothers AU post made me think that yeah, I didn't really get into the interpersonal relationships at play and since this is still plaguing my mind and I wanna talk about it, here's the start of what will probably end up a very long post about the family dynamics in the Step-brothers AU

this is mainly focused on the main fam + April because if I start doing all the Caseys and other side characters too I'll die

let's start with big bro Sondheim

Sondheim and Draxum: As I mentioned in the first post, Heim has a really hard time not seeing Draxum as his boss, even after their rescue. The AU Draxum never encouraged any parental/child feelings between them, so Heim just has no idea how to approach it. Initially Draxum likes this ("Why can't the rest of you be as respectful as Sondheim?"), but eventually he realizes that Heim acts like that because there's a lack of trust and intimacy in their relationship. It will really take Heim getting closer to his little brothers, and learning to open up to them, that will lead into Draxum and Heim getting closer and moving into a familial relationship.

Sondheim and Raph: Heim is initially quite intimidated by Raph, not only because Raph is bigger than him but also because Raph seems to have himself together in a way Heim simply doesn't feel like he does (even if he seems to on the outside). Heim is also a bit jealous of how easily Raph interacts with the rest of his family, while Heim feels such a wall between himself and his brothers and dad. But ultimately Raph will be a great role model for Heim, and the two of them grow quite close, as Heim is willing to go to Raph for any big-brother advice. Also, while Heim generally acts pretty sociable and well-adjusted, he's also quite macho acting, since that's what was expected of him from the rest of the soldiers. Being around Raph, who is open with displays of affection and who still loves plushies even as an older teen, is great for helping Heim move into more healthy displays of masculinity. For Raph's part, he worries sometimes that he's not going to live up as the role model Heim needs, but he doesn't really need to worry so much.

Sondheim and Leo: On the surface, these two seem to have a great relationship - the two of them can chat easily and never fight. But if you actually paid attention to their conversations, you'd realize they're quite... surface level. As both Heim and Leo are very "conceal don't feel" types, neither of them push the other to open up, and as a result their conversations stay casual and peter out before long. This leads to them feeling quite distant from each other. It will take both of them growing their emotional maturity individually before they can get over the wall between them, probably more when they're adults. But they do like each other.

Sondheim and Donnie: Years of knowing Viv did not prepare Heim for Donnie, and honestly he's kind of scared. He doesn't know what to make of him, and he knows even less what to make of everyone's tolerance for his insane behavior. An explosion in the lair and no one's even getting up from their seats? Hello?? They have some of the same problems as Heim and Leo at first, but Heim has a hidden competitive side that comes out when he's playing games, and once the two of them start playing video games and board games together, it comes out and the two of them start really having fun together. As Heim gets more open and less worried about being abandoned, he and Donnie have the sort of relationship where they will openly shittalk each other for fun.

Sondheim and Wilde: Unlike Viv and Sulley, Wilde's attempts at bullying Heim never went anywhere. Heim was never intimidated by Wilde, and he emulated the nasty attitude the rest of the soldiers had toward Wilde, until making fun of him behind his back (and sometimes to his face) became second nature. As a result, Wilde and Heim have a pretty terrible relationship at first! Heim feels open to taking care of Viv and Sulley, but come on - does he really have to be a big brother to that guy? But in contrast to how Leo can't push Heim at all, Wilde can push Heim a lot, with all his exposed nerves right on the surface, and the barely concealed rage that Heim can actually relate to. Their rocky start leads to the two of them being accidentally more open with each other, leading to a slow but steady turn around in their relationship. Eventually Heim and Wilde are as close as the OU A Team, but it takes quite a lot of work to get there.

Sondheim and Vivaldi: Heim and Viv have always had a straight forward, business-like relationship, never exchanging many words other than to pass along orders. They initially maintain a very similar relationship once they start living together as brothers, neither of them really knowing how to have a relationship that goes deeper. Both of them struggle with learning who they are as people, let alone deal with all the new family dynamics that have been thrown their way. But because their struggles are so similar, Viv ends up having an easier time talking out his frustrations with Heim. Heim is less willing to open up to Viv, feeling responsible for him as an older brother, but soon enough talking through Viv's issues turns into Heim talking through his issues, too. The two of them for a very close bond over this, each feeling like the other is the only person in the world who understands what they're going through. Viv is the brother Heim grows closest to the fastest.

Sondheim and Mikey: While Viv is the brother Heim grows closest to the fastest, Mikey is the step-brother who slips past his walls first. Heim is willing to humor Mikey early on, as a way of trying to fit in with the family, and Mikey takes full advantage of this, eagerly slipping past Heim's defenses and nestling himself right into his heart. Initially Heim doesn't quite know how to handle it, but soon he's unbearably fond of Mikey, even if he playfully protests that he isn't. It helps that Heim doesn't treat Mikey like a baby the way Raph sometimes tends to, partly because Heim has his own baby to worry about. While their emotional relationship isn't as deep as Heim's relationship with Viv and eventually with Wilde, Heim is truly relaxed around Mikey even early on.

Sondheim and Sullivan: Heim didn't have much regard for Sulley for most of their lives, and now he feels a lot of regret for that. Their relationship effectively has to be built from the ground up, which isn't helped by Heim still trying to learn who he himself is. They have a lot of false starts and a lot of disastrous conversations, but Heim gradually slotting himself into his big brother role and caring for Sulley helps a lot. The two of them learn a lot about the wonder of hugs together.

Sondheim and April: Humans have been Heim's enemy for most of his life, and while he actually doesn't think they're all that dangerous (yokai always had the superiority in strength and mystic ability, and thanks to Draxum's mutagen and Donnie's tech they were steadily closing the gap in numbers and technology, too), he's still mystified that his alternate family would willingly interact with one. He's initially rude to April as a result, but she has so little tolerance for that that his dismissal quickly does an abrupt swing into respect - maybe a little too much respect, because he starts treating her like a boss, too. It takes them awhile to settle back into a friendship, and she becomes a great role model for Heim as well.

Sondheim and Splinter: Lou Jitsu died in Heim's universe, so while he always knew he was mutated with Lou Jitsu's DNA, he's never met the man. He's quite a bit shorter (and hairier!) than Heim expected! Heim initially treats Splinter with the reverence and respect he does Draxum, but Splinter pretty quickly dispels that notion by encouraging Heim to address him casually and generally just acting like his goofy dad self around Heim. Though the AU boys look at only Draxum as their dad, they do still lean on Splinter as a capable adult in their life, and Heim is no exception. He likes the tea Splinter makes.

[afreakingdork]

This is a bit embarrassing to admit and I’ve been putting off sending an ask for weeks, but seeing as Weak Spot is almost complete I figured it’s now or never; I daydream about the world you’ve created all the time, it’s like my go-to happy place in my head. Before I say anything I just wanna make sure you know I’m not asking you to write this, Weak Spot is your story and I already know what you have planned will make me weep on another Saturday morning. I just really want to share my thoughts because your story has been living in my head rent free like ever since I binge read 1-39 in one weekend. Do you think it’s possible that Donnie and Chester will ever meet again? I’ve been imagining what a wedding chapter might be like since 45 and my favourite ‘what if;’ I’ve come up with is what if Y/N were to send an invitation to Chester? I think I just really want Chester to see how much Donnie has grown and give him that ✨approval of a parental figure✨ he so craves. Perhaps the invitation being instrumented exclusively on Y/N’s behalf as a surprise for Don? I really wanna know what you might think 人´∀｀)

Oh gosh, no need to be embarrassed because I do the same thing! It's literally how I come up with all my little ideas! I really appreciate you sharing this and I'm proud of you for being brave to do so.

Narratively, it doesn't make sense for Donnie to meet Chester again sadly. Sometimes you bounce of people in your life and the interactions don't go the way you want. That doesn't mean that because you had to part ways that they weren't important. Sometimes those people you meet in blips are the most important of all (exactly why Sandwich Spot exists, but outside the main story because while it helps point the exact moment Donnie realized life existed outside of himself, it's not something reader will ever know firsthand, but they do know it because it shaped how Donnie is now).

So Donnie will never see Chester again, but that being said... I couldn't help but be inspired by what you wrote. so please, have this gift...

A moment in time in the not so far flung future that may or may not happen in Soft Spot:

He was getting too old for this.

"Come now! Violet can walk herself." Chester urged.

Or Harry had a point.

"But, pop-pop! She's so slow!" Jade whined where she was pulling her little sister.

Those morning swim classes were looking more and more appealing.

Violet pulled back on the arm that was wrenched in her sister's grasp.

Harry had been more spry since he started attending.

"What was it you were teaching me about sayings?" Chester tried a new tactic.

Meanwhile, Chester had only gotten lazier in retirement.

"Oh!" Jade lit up and let go to think with her entire body. "Let's see..."

His chair sat him so well, though.

Violet righted herself from where she toppled over and took a breath.

He'd always thought with his first grandchild getting older, he'd have to do less lifting.

"It's the one about the cow!" Jade hopped.

With the second, however, it had doubled his required strength.

"Close... How about another animal?" Chester smiled.

He wouldn't trade them for the world though.

This time recognition came to Jade with a slow glow. "You lead a horse to water..."

What a happy life he had the honor of living.

"But..." Chester nodded for her to continue.

Violet got herself onto her two feet and took a few shuffling steps toward him.

He prepared for that weight on his hips and held his hands out ready for her.

"You can't make him drink..." Jade curled a finger to her lips. "So with Vi...?"

With a grunt and groan, Chester got Violet up in his arms.

The little one curled against him, fatigued.

The park was a big, exciting world for a toddler.

"It means..." Chester paused in case Jade wanted to come to the conclusion herself.

Instead, her eyes shined as she stared up at him, ready for the answer.

"You can do everything in your power to help someone, but you can't force them to accept it." He explained.

Jade took a few steps toward him and pondered so hard it made her forehead scrunch up.

She was adorable.

A huge stock of black fabric passed by like a moving obelisk.

It pulled Chester's eye where he readjusted Violet's load.

It wasn't an inanimate object, but a long black coat.

It donned a very tall man who moved to the other side of the playground.

There, he found a spot to stop and in a turn revealed a blotch of green.

Topped with a shock of rich purple.

Eyes wide and free hand suddenly flapping anxiously for Jade's, Chester felt himself pale.

Donatello.

He hadn't seen the boy in years.

After the first few, Chester had been left to hope that Donatello had only taken his advice.

Despite the bitter end, he wished him nothing, but the best.

Donatello spoke.

Too far away and with a bustling park between them, there was no way Chester could hear.

What he could do was look down.

Where a joyful, albeit tired looking counterpart animatedly responded.

Chester's lips parted.

The second person then looked down before offering something up.

A small bundle whose lavender blanket wriggled to reveal another, much, much smaller green mutant.

Donatello took the baby and brought the child up to his face to coo something.

The older mutant's eyes gleamed.

Chester knew that look.

The one that topped eye bags as deep as canyons.

It was one he once sported.

It was the one his son-in-law now wore.

It was the look of a new father.

The way they looked at their own.

Donatello had a partner.

Donatello had a child.

"What's wrong, pop-pop?" Jade's voice broke in, thunderous amongst the many others.

Chester looked down and felt the tears streaking his cheeks.

He only gave a bright smile and continued to hold his hand out.

Jade took it and continued to stare up at him. "Are you hungry? Vi cries when she's hungry. Let's get you some lunch!"

Chester nodded and moved to leave the park with Jade in tow. "That sounds wonderful."

[coolgirl32]

do u take multiple requests, or just one at a time? also, could u pin the list of fandoms u write for?

Answer your first question I sometimes take multiple request when I have free time on my hands and I take one at a time request when I'm either busy or when it's a busy day and it's overstimulating for me but my honest answer is I take multiple requests but I also take one at a time and to answer your second question here is the list of fandoms I write and it's characters.

Arcane Vander, silco, Benzo, vi, jinx, Cassandra, Viktor, Jayce, Mel, Caitlyn, sevika, claggor and Mylo.

TMNT (I do any decade that I know of such as 2012, 2003, 2007, 2016, and 2024) Leo, raph, Donnie, Mikey, the mighty mutantimals and the villains who are mutants and yes the reader is a mutant I do not do the human thing for TMNT sorry.

Love death and robots kill team kill members, sobieski and Decker.

Blood of Zeus Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, Hera, Persephone, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Artemis, Ares, Apollo, Hermes, seraphim, heron and Athena and Hestia.

Scooby-Doo Fred, Daphne, Velma and shaggy (I'm not including Scooby-Doo because he's a dog and it's just weird so my apologies but Scooby-Doo and shaggy are my two favorite Scooby-Doo characters because they're funny and they're so relatable).

100% wolf flashheart and Hotspur (I know I'm sorry if I can't find any other characters to put on here in the 100% wolf fanfic but can you blame me again my apologies).

SWAT KATS chance furlong and Jake clawson.

A/n: so I'm sorry if this is a bit short and I'm sorry this does not make any sense but these are just some of the other fanfics I've been wanting to write and also my requests are still open if anybody is interested and if anybody that knows what the SWAT KATS or it was a '80s to 90s show but it only ran through two seasons I wish they ran through more seasons and they had to reboot but you can all go check it out on YouTube and if anybody doesn't know what love death and robots are it's also a show but it's basically in the 2000s like 2014 I think I'm not sure it's an awesome show but weird but pretty cool and the two main episodes I like are killing kill and shapeshifters anyway sorry this is taking too long and I hope that answers your question if any of you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask I'm all ears and I have some answers have a good day.

[desceros]

not a request, just a genuine query - would you ever write something for an autistic/ADHD reader? just thinking about Symphony (as always) and how Vi is very much neurotypical. i don't know if any of your other reader characters in your other fics are ✨️ neurospicy ✨️ as the millennials like to say (i hate that term with a fiery passion)

in a way, all of my reader characters are always going to have Some elements of neurodivergency since i myself am several different flavors of it, meaning it's really hard for me to write from the perspective of a truly neurotypical character. i try my best, in the same way someone tries their best to capture the pov of someone from a different gender, race, nationality, etc. it's possible to write a convincing character after sufficient research, but there will inevitably be errors because of the inherent bias in the writer. that's just the truth of writing a human experience.

viola-chan is the first character where i've really gone out of my way to code her as neurotypical, since i find it an interesting contrast with donnie, whose autism (and its interaction with viola-chan's neurotypical communication style) are a huge part of the plot of the fic. since i code him as autistic and leonardo as having adhd, it kind of... scratches the itch for me for including those traits? so i tend not to put them explicitly on the reader character, since i find contrasts interesting. would it be possible to have a fic where an insert-chan has different manifestations of neurodivergence, thus giving that contrast? absolutely! i just don't have anything on the docket for it.

sidebar, not to be a millennial on main, but i really don't have any issue with the term "neurospicy" hahaha. i don't use it myself since it's not really something i'm interested in putting into my vernacular, but i don't have an issue with anyone who does. to me it kind of... normalizes the concept of being neurodivergent in a way that i didn't experience coming through my school years, so if someone wants to be more casual with claiming the label, i'm all for it. the more mainstream acceptance is of claiming the label, the easier it will be for someone to be open about being neurodivergent, which means you can be more open about accommodations you need, reduce the social stigma of the label, etc.

i've seen arguments that it "trivializes the struggle of having neurodivergence" or "makes it too easy for people to claim a label that isn't theirs" but tbh, it's none of my business How Neurodivergent someone is? and i personally love laughing at adhd jokes and autism jokes and stuff. i have to deal with the shitty parts of it, so i'm going to make it fun where i can. i make jokes about my "dumb bitch disease" and it's no one's business but mine when i make those jokes at my own expense. i'm sure other people feel the same way, and if their idea of doing that is through a cutesy little word, more power to them.

i also see the argument that it's "just annoying" which. hm. maybe so, if you don't like cutesy words like that. i personally see it as infantalizing, a bit. but i don't really think it's my place to gatekeep how someone expresses their experiences with their neurodivergency, and i'm a little suspicious of people who say to a neurodivergent person "hey the way you're expressing x is cringe, stop doing that" because that's a slippery slope to things like "the way you stim is annoying, the way you stare at me is annoying, the way you ____ is annoying" in a way that quickly becomes ableist.

[sawcondeez]

what are two of your favorite movies from the Saw Franchise?

what are three of your favorite traps ?

thank you!!

Fav Saw Movies!

my fav Saw movie will always be Saw (2004)! there’s just a charm to it, the grungy-ness, the fleshed out characters, the colour grading is unmatched, the premise of it is simple yet so interesting. I love a contained story! AND I LOVE ADAM !!! and most importantly you can tell through and through that it is a passion project for Leigh Whannell and James Wan. listening to the commentary and behind the scenes gives me so much joy. I love that Cary Elwes signed onto the project because he had so much faith in them and their work and I love just how much fun they had making it despite being on such a tight schedule and budget and it ended up making such an impact in the horror industry! I could go on but I’m gonna stop there lol

my second favourite would have to be either Saw III or Saw VI. for Saw III, I love that it’s kind of like a character study/character building I guess? I love having more of an insight to Amanda, I think she’s such an interesting and complex character, the whole father-daughter dynamic between her and John as well, I find very compelling. the themes about forgiveness, revenge, family, grief as well wheeeew. It’s Leigh’s last Saw film as a writer and even though they keep the franchise going after III, I think he ties everything up very well as his last entry in the franchise.

Saw VI ouuuuuu I really like how it’s a commentary on the American health system, I think it’s done pretty well. the traps allegorically worked better than I think a lot of the other traps in the franchise do. William Easton was also an interesting focus as the main test subject, and I liked watching him going through the various traps and having the whole inner battle about morality and mortality. I also love the scene when Hoffman gets put in the Reverse Bear Trap!!

Fav Saw Traps!

I think it’s harder for me to pick my favourite traps though. like I love the Reverse Bear Trap because it’s so iconic, the concept is not too complex yet it’s so horrifying and ingenious, but I don’t like the aspect of having to kill a defenceless person in order to “win”(many such cases tho). and it irks me in the tape when John says “it’s in the stomach of your DEAD cell mate…. know that I’m not lying” BUT HE IS LYING ‼️

visually I really liked the Angel Trap, it’s just so gnarly yet beautiful. something about the Venus Fly Trap visually I liked a lot too.

The Ice Block Trap in Saw IV, I feel, needed more screen time/care. I feel like the concept of it could’ve made for a very captivating watch - I think someone mentioned it paralleled Saw (2004) in the way that there was the real Jigsaw in the room (Hoffman) which the other victims were unaware of, there was the victim who was acting like a perpetrator (Art Blank) but was actually doing so as part of his own test. and the pathetic whimpering blonde guy (hehe). could’ve also used more of Donnie Wahlberg’s acting skills, I think he’s great!

*edit: omg I forgot about shotgun carousel, thought I wrote about it when talking about Saw VI but I guess not oops. the allegory of the dogpit having to deny 2/3 of all applicants thus sentencing them to death, and William Easton having to do the same with the dogpit. he’s forced to use his algorithm on his own team, the symbolism about the blood on his hands, wheeew.

anyway thank you for asking!! excuse the rambling but it was nice to get this out

:D

[longwindedbore]

Today’s reminder that Trump’s NY State-based empire is operating under a monitor appointed by Judge Engoron pending the empire’s likely dissolution in the near future.

That organization has already been found liable for systemic fraud. Trump has lost his appeals on that issue.

The penalty under New York law is dissolution.

Dissolution was put on hold until the penalty phase determination by the Judge of the requested $370 million in Civil Fines.

Trump would likely be entitled to any money remaining once the properties have been sold to pay back the over $1 billion in bank loans.

PLUS pay all other obligations such as the back taxes he owes and the $98 million to E. Jean Carroll. Or any liens Giuliani, Powell, etc might levy for unpaid attorneys’ fees.

The Question is - Will there be anything left after dissolution (called “disgorgement” in the Ruling)?

It’s difficult to tell because the Trump Empire is 450 privately held corporations that do not file earnings statements certified by independent auditors such as those required of publicly traded corporations.

EXCEPT that his two golf courses in Scotland are compelled by Scottish law to file despite private ownership.

The public filings indicate that these two courses do not make a profit. Evidently they would only ever be worth his investment if Trump could change local ordinances and build McMansions on the land.

Trump has been prevented from doing so for decades on these as well as several other Trump-owned golf courses mentioned in Judge Engoron’s brief. I’ve researched others with similar issues (such as the Palos Verdes course in So Cal in which he sunk a fortune to rebuild the 18th hole that was lost in a landslide.

It’s debatable if there will be anything left for Donald.

In December, 2022 the Trump Payroll Corporation was found criminally liable in NY State Court for fraud. Donald, Junior, Eric and several company officers are liable for back taxes on unreported income. Both Michael Cohen and Alan Weisselberg have been convicted and served jail time for the Trump payroll fraud.

Donnie owes biggly on tax evasion.

Then there is the issue of whether some or all of any money remaining can be considered “the illicit fruit of a crime” and could be seized by New York.

More thoughts, after reading a little about Borges and revisiting the intro & ending:

The Greek cast

I'm still probably reading too much into this, but some additional support for Zampanò being aligned with Daedalus comes on page xvi when Johnny lists the objects left in Z's apartment: among them are unused candles (i.e. unmelted wax), and some seashells as well as "the twining metal ridge, looking a little like some tiny spiral staircase, winding down into the bulbless interior of a light socket" which both remind me of the riddle Minos used to locate Daedalus after he escaped the labyrinth (how do you thread a spiral seashell? by tying the string to an ant which crawls through the spiral). I can't make any sense of the "old tube of chapstick with an amber like resin," other than maybe it's some biblical allusion to balm of Gilead or myrrh or something.

However, the main characters also align with other figures in the Icarus story.

Johnny refers to his stories as "inventions" a couple times.

Pelafina, near the end of her life, writes to Johnny about "[her] ascent into [her] new life--drowsy, baked in sun, with you" (p641) and then says Donnie (the pilot) will pick her up soon (p642). And she dies in the sky-blue sheets of the institute. (This seems to make in-text death line up with escape in the myth, while Johnny's ending corresponds to Icarus' death.)

If Johnny is the Minotaur rather than Icarus, Zampanó could then be Minos, who was also responsible for constructing the labyrinth. And according to Thucydides, Minos was the first man in history known "to have built a navy". Interesting!

And there are many other characters from Greek myth that have ties to the story:

Apollo, god of the sun and many other things relevant to HoL, who also has a role in the Icarus story (Daedalus builds a temple to Apollo after his son's death)

The Cumaean Sibyl, mentioned on p642 and likely alluded to in multiple places (also, according to Wikipedia: "In an invention of Virgil (Aeneid VI), Daedalus flies to Cumae and founds his temple there, rather than in Sicily.")

The 9 muses, which may map to Johnny's lovers (the number 9 also shows up a lot in general)

Thamyris, whose name appears encoded on p77 and p387 (the latter called out on p514)

Poseidon, who is associated with water (duh) and Pisces, and in myth provides the bull and the curse that lead to the Minotaur's birth

Hyacinth, namesake of the purple flower

Zephyrus, god of the west wind, and Boreas, god of the north wind (cardinal directions come up quite a bit, and the cover prominently features an unlabeled compass rose)

(The last three points I mainly include because they have direct ties to the others in myth; their HoL presence is weaker.) It could be fun to try to trace out all the potential connections and parallels between these characters and those in HoL. You might even include the storytellers, like Virgil.

Borges

In addition to the tiger poem from my first post, the rest of Borges' writing is extremely relevant to HoL.

The House of Asterion (I'm going to spoil it in this sentence, watch out! Final warning!!) tells the story of the Minotaur from the creature's perspective, though it obscures that fact until the last line. It also puts the number of youth sacrifices, which often varies between tellings, at 9.

The Library of Babel describes an infinite library stocked with books that contain every possible permutation of letters, so that every story and idea must be contained somewhere within the library by pure chance.

The Garden of Forking Paths describes a book that includes a chapter about every possible outcome of each event in the story, introducing the idea of branching futures.

Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote is a fictional review of an (also fictional) academic work by the character Pierre Menard, who wishes to understand and reconstruct the story of Don Quixote at a deeper level than mere translation. He does this by immersing himself in the original author's history and context until he can independently recreate the whole story word-for-word. The "reviewer" than asserts that this identical recreation is necessarily richer than the original, because it was created more recently and thus can be interpreted as alluding to historical events that occurred after the original was written. (Directly referenced in footnote 49 on p42.)

The Writing of the God is about an imprisoned priest who looks for the titular divine message in the patterns of a jaguar's fur. In the end, he has a vision of a wheel made of both water and fire simultaneously, which allows him to understand the writing in the fur. However, upon understanding the writing, he no longer has use for it, because it has given him a broader perspective of the universe that makes him forget or not care about his individual self. This is one way to interpret Johnny's ending, and helps reconcile the themes of blue and red in HoL, as explained in the next section (Purple).

All five stories are included in the collection Labyrinths.

Purple

I already noted some of the associations for blue (see "House" in first post), and I guess those also relate to birth and creation. In the text, fictional commentators compare the House to motherhood (the darkness of the womb) as well as "narcissism's paternal darkness" (p357-358).

(There's probably something here also in Johnny's many sexual escapades. He sows his wild oats without the aim of conceiving; he spews long and rambling footnotes without much thought or purpose. There's also the "P spot" mention in his encounter with Tatiana (p109), which is an interesting term to use considering that his mother signs her letters "P.")

So the purple overlap of blue (creation, birth, potential) and red (death, loss, absence) could be either a negation (birth undone by death) or an eternal cycle (death "undone" by birth, ad infinitum), depending on how you look at it. In this view, it makes sense that purple is Pelafina's color, considering that she both birthed and attempted to kill Johnny; and more figuratively, she likely gave him both his creative spirit as well as his tendency to madness and self-destruction.

The idea of cycles may be connected to the symbol O (which is missing from Pelafina's final sign-off on p642, missing twice in the code on p64-67, and present in the Yggdrasil poem on p709). It's typically also connected to the Ouroboros, though I think that's only referenced obliquely in the text, if at all. Looking back at some of the cycles depicted in HoL (see "House" in first post, last paragraph), as well as the idea of looping around a maze to return to the same point (p114, footnote 136, for example), we could probably conclude something trite like "re-treading the same ground can still be progress if it changes you". A man cannot step in the same river twice.

(In Johnny's nightmare on p403, the frat boy Theseus also wears purple, and he butchers Minotaur!Johnny, then vomits--an ugly sort of destruction and creation. I'm interpreting this as a jab at sophomoric "analysis" of a text; a "hack job," if you will. Dismantling without regard for the connections between elements, and projecting your own ideas that have no connection to the material. Maybe Johnny and/or MZD's most pessimistic vision of how HoL could be received. But I'm sure it's other things, too.)

Lastly, I've seen others mention that the blue of house is similar to a hyperlink in basic HTML, but I didn't connect it to my own color interpretation, so I'll do that now:

blue is the color of an unvisited link, which matches the association with potential and creation/birth

red is a link to a missing page, matching the association with absence; you could also call this a "dead" link

purple is a link that you have visited before; it no longer has the unexplored potential of a blue link, but the page still may have changed since the last time you visited it, in which case the old page that you knew is gone. I think this aligns well with the concept of cyclical rebirth.

Ecce Puer

In the story of the cyanotic child, the mother says something which phonetically matches up with Ecce Puer ("Behold the boy"), a James Joyce poem about his grandson being born shortly after his father's death. This ties into the theme of cycles of death and rebirth.

The last line Johnny writes, on p521, is "The child is gone."

Who or what is born from this? And who or what do they succeed?

Death of the Author

My copy of HoL happens to be signed. MZD wrote a short message in blue ink, and then signed with a large Z in green marker. The Z has a line through the center, which can be a stylization, but is more likely a crossing-out, as Derrida apparently liked to do with his signatures.

(I'm curious if there are any consistent associations with green in the text. There's Karen Green, obviously, and the Minotaur in Chiclitz's play is called Mint. In pigments, green is the combination of blue and yellow, and the complement of red. Generally, it would be associated with plants, and especially new/fresh leaves.)

MZD seems to play the role of Zampanò to the reader's Johnny. In a sense, the death of the author is the birth of the reader; the author's work is complete when the book is published, at which point readers can begin to form their own interpretations. As Johnny writes on p327:

There's only one choice now: finish what Zampanò himself failed to finish. Re-inter this thing in a binding tomb. Make it only a book, and if that doesn't help . . .

Johnny isn't a dead author to us, though. He speaks directly to the reader throughout his notes. For instance, on page xvii, describing the manuscript:

I know a moment came when I felt certain its resolute blackness was capable of anything, maybe even of slashing out, tearing up the floor, murdering Zampanò, murdering us, maybe even murdering you.

Of course, if Johnny is only a character in his own book--ink on a page--then the end of the book is also his end, and the destruction of the book (the scattering of leaves to the wind) would be his destruction. Again on p327:

That long anticipated disintegration, when the darkest angel of all, the horror beyond all horrors, sits at last upon my chest, permanently enfolding me in its great covering wings, black as ink, veined in Bees' purple. A creature without a voice. A voice without a name. As immortal as my life. Come here at long last to summon the wind.

There are some hints here--the inky creature as both the manuscript and death, the uses of voice which I think elsewhere is associated with authorship and godhood--but I can't quite tie it all together.

Derrida's Différance

On p515, Johnny writes, "What's the difference, especially in differance, what's read what's left in what's left out what's invented what's remembered what's forgotten what's written what's found what's lost what's done?"

I'm just going to quote this whole section from the Wikipedia page on Différance:

Différance is a French term coined by Jacques Derrida. It is central to Derrida's concept of deconstruction, a critical outlook concerned with the relationship between text and meaning. The term différance means both "difference of meaning" (différance) and "deferral of meaning" (différance), and is made of combining the two French words. Roughly speaking, the method of différance is a way to analyze how signs (words, symbols, metaphors, etc) come to have meanings. It suggests that meaning is not inherent in a sign but arises from its relationships with other signs, a continual process of contrasting with what comes before and later. That is, a sign acquires meaning by being different from other signs. The meaning of a sign changes over time, as new signs keep appearing and old signs keep disappearing. However, the meaning of a sign is not just determined by the system of signs present currently. Past meanings leave "traces", and possible future meanings "haunt". The meaning of a sign is determined by the interaction between past traces, future haunts, and the system of signs present right now.

Twin cargoes

As noted in my first post, twins or pairs of siblings are a recurring element in HoL. (p248: "[Zampanò] suddenly claimed [the comparison of Tom and Navy to Esau and Jacob] was justifiable only if you could compare any pair of siblings to Israel and his brother.") Karen has one sister; the Navidsons have two children; MZD has one sister; Apollo and Artemis (associated with the sun and the moon, respectively) are twins.

This probably echoes a more general theme of duality, pairs, and inverses throughout the book. It also suggests that Johnny could have had a twin or sibling, either literally or figuratively.

Near the end of the story of the Atrocity, which carried "two cargoes within its holds, one secret, the other extremely flammable" (p298), Johnny writes of the last trapped survivor (p300):

I'm losing any sense of who he was, no name, no history, only the awful panic he felt, universal to us all, as he sunk inside that thing, down into the unyielding waters, until peace finally did follow panic, a sad and mournful peace but somewhat pleasant after all, even though he lay there alone, chest heaving, yes, understanding home, understanding hope, and losing all of it, all long long gone a long long time ago . . . shhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . when next to him, not a foot away, lay Something he never saw, no one saw, for he had come upon the secret when he escaped into this cargo hold but never knew it, though it might have saved him, saved us all for that matter, but it's gone, letters of salt read by the sea . . . and I too have lost The Atrocity . . . and the sun pours in on me, surfaces once transparent now reflect, like a sea of a different sort, and I forget my ship, or I lose sight of it, or is that the same thing? to a time long before I saw in my own holds two cargoes, one a secret, the other extremely flammable, the flammable put there by invisible hands for invisible reasons . . .

The "sea of a different sort", which reflects the sun, sounds to me like the "seas" of the moon (e.g. the Sea of Tranquility). I have no good guesses for what the secret cargo is, though--either in the ship or in Johnny. But it definitely seems to parallel the twins in the womb from p249. Unfortunately, The Atrocity is the most interesting part of the book that I have no real theories for.

Cats

On page xviii, Johnny references the saying "curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back," before quoting lyrics from "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. There are a lot of dead cats in House of Leaves, and we don't see any of them come back.

This is a VERY long text post.

thanks @squareallworthy for giving me the excuse to make a House of Leaves post!! I'm going to try to make this accessible to everyone, so:

If you haven't read HoL, feel free to bail if this goes too deep or stops making sense. Personally, I don't think you need to worry about spoilers because it's not that kind of book (it usually spoils itself anyway), but if you'd rather go in knowing nothing, slam that J key now.

If you have read HoL, feel free to skip ahead to the theories. You're presumably good at tuning out extraneous information by now. :)

What is House of Leaves?

House of Leaves is a novel by Mark Z. Danielewski (MZD), published in 2000. It's an example of postmodern literature, which according to Wikipedia is:

a form of literature that is characterized by the use of metafiction, unreliable narration, self-reflexivity, intertextuality, and which often thematizes both historical and political issues.

...all of which is House of Leaves to a T. Rather than capturing a single narrative, the book's text layers multiple stories, which refer to both each other and to external (e.g. mythical) stories, and which often reference the fact that they are stories in a book.

You can find it archived here, though unfortunately that scan/OCR seems to mangle the text in ways that will be hard to distinguish from everything else it's got going on.

Overall, I think the book is really cool and interesting, but maybe not worth sinking a ton of time and effort into. It's not a fun or easy read. Definitely worth checking out, but don't be afraid to skim or abandon it if it's not your thing.

The layers of HoL

The innermost layer is The Navidson Record (TNR), which is ostensibly a documentary but effectively a found-footage horror film. It's a series of films about the Navidson family--an unmarried couple with two young children--moving into a house in Virginia, and discovering that something is very strange about it. First subtly and then dramatically, the interior of the house grows and changes, in defiance of physical laws. One closet in particular becomes an eerie and seemingly infinite labyrinth, which they explore at their peril. (Don't worry--the overall novel is creepy and sometimes upsetting, but not outright scary. I'm a weenie about horror and had no trouble.)

The next layer is a pseudo-academic text about TNR by a blind man named Zampanò. He recounts the events of TNR, but also meanders on long tangents about other stories or academic works.

The third layer is the primary one we experience as the book House of Leaves. A character calling himself Johnny Truant discovered the disorganized and incomplete manuscript in Zampanò's apartment after that man's death, and he has assembled and edited it into this book, as well as added an introduction and lengthy footnotes relating stories from his own life. Johnny often contradicts himself, freely admits to making things up or changing the previous layers to suit his whims, and appears to mentally deteriorate over the course of the novel. He also says he can't find any evidence that TNR actually exists.

There's a thin layer added by "the Editors," who supposedly received the text from Johnny, and published it while in contact with him. They add some appendices and minor notes throughout, mainly to provide English translations for certain excerpts or to state that something the text refers to is missing. They include a purported still frame from TNR in the appendices, with no comment from Johnny.

All of the above, of course, was actually written by MZD, the real-life author of HoL. He self-published the earliest version of HoL to the internet, before publishing the full version as a physical book. He also produced some teleplays related to the work, and a collection of letters from Johnny's mother. The letters were originally published separately, but now most of them are included as an appendix to HoL. MZD's sister, the singer-songwriter Poe, also released the album Haunted around the same time as HoL, and it serves as a companion or counterpart to the novel.

The final layer is us, the readers. We interact with the text and also with each other, like I'm doing with this post. MZD's website still hosts forum threads from the time the book came out, where readers deciphered and theorized about it together. This is an important and intentional aspect of the work, as I'll explain in more detail later (see "The Meta").

Sub-stories

There are a few smaller anecdotes within the text which almost serve as their own layers, but don't fit neatly into the hierarchy above:

The Chiclitz play The Minotaur, on p110-111

The story of The Atrocity, on p297-300

The story of the changeling/cyanotic child, on p518-521 and referenced obliquely on p48-49

Themes and motifs

A non-exhaustive and highly subjective list, ordered very roughly from the most to least prominent:

The Greek myth of the Minotaur and the labyrinth

House

Madness, memory, and meaning

The sea and the sky

Darkness, absence, emptiness

Yggdrasil, the world tree; trees, leaves, and paper; the Cumaean Sibyl

Fidelity (in multiple senses of the word)

Colors, especially red/blue or red/blue/green/yellow

Death and rebirth, procreation, the womb

The biblical myth of Abraham and his sons

The biblical myth of Jonah and the Whale

The eye, cameras

Head injuries, holes in the head

Families, especially parents and twins/pairs of siblings

Note that there are connections and overlap between these themes. I'm going to argue that the first few in particular are strongly intertwined.

The Meta

Most of the fan theories I've seen are focused on the usual concerns: "what do you think really happened in the story? what does this mean for the characters?" That's reasonable, but since HoL is extremely aware of itself and its readers, I think it's also worth asking what the text expects from us or what it's trying to communicate directly, if anything. IMO those questions are easier to answer than nailing down the events of the story, and that's on purpose.

While rightfully regarded as a challenging and puzzling book, HoL actually is pretty blatant about helping us "solve" most of it. Heck, it color-codes its major motifs. There were many instances where I was like "oh, this reminds me of that other part from a ways back" and then the footnote would tell me to refer back to that part I was remembering. When there's an encoded message, like the Morse code or first-letter sections, Johnny typically makes a comment providing the key to decoding it--and in some cases also tells us the "hidden message," like in his conversation with the band near the end of the book.

The book straight-up tells you how to read it. On p115, just before it starts getting really wild with the typesetting in a section structured like a maze, Zampanò's text gives this advice for navigating mazes:

In order to escape then, we have to remember we cannot ponder all paths but must decode only those necessary to get out. We must be quick and anything but exhaustive.

The next footnote (139) also warns: "[in a maze,] the faster you go, the worse you are entangled" and "If one reads too quickly or too slowly, one understands nothing."

And of course, the book provides an extensive (albeit somewhat playful) index, so that if you have a theory about a certain word or concept, you can easily go back and look up examples. I believe the page numbers also match up across editions, so that different readers can more easily confer with one another.

All of this strongly suggests that MZD very much wants us to view the text as a puzzle to decode with other readers. He makes sure we know there are patterns and hidden messages to be found.

The madness of analysis

Like I mentioned above, Johnny's mental state deteriorates over the course of the book. A lot of his story also has to do with his late mother, who was committed to a psychiatric institution when he was young, and who shows similar quirks and inconsistencies in her letters to Johnny. The reader is quickly clued in that Johnny is an unreliable narrator, and by the end of the book it's nearly impossible to untangle what "really happened" in Johnny's narrative because there are so many revisions and contradictions.

Zampanò's writing may seem like a sharp contrast to Johnny's, since it is stuffy and academic rather than casual and coarse. But the two strongly parallel each other, as do the two characters. They both ramble and are prone to lengthy tangents based on tenuous connections; Zampanò seems to make things up and messily add and redact just as Johnny does with his stories. Both seem haunted by and obsessed with the manuscript in similar ways.

Other HoL readers have called it a satire of academic texts, but I'd go a step farther and say it's drawing a parallel between (perhaps overzealous) academic analysis and psychosis: seeing patterns or connections where there are none, jumping to wildly different and sometimes bizarre conclusions from the same experience, getting lost in theories with little connection to reality, communicating in ways that are hard for others to understand.

It even encourages its readers to engage in the same behavior, by hinting at many different patterns and connections yet making them inconsistent, uncertain, and contradictory. It goads you into trying to analyze it, but you'll just end up like Charlie in the Pepe Silvia meme:

Derrida's Deconstruction

Wait, so does that mean it's futile to try to analyze House of Leaves? Well, sort of, and the book tells us this! Remember that part (see "The Meta") that was giving us advice on how to navigate a maze, i.e. the book? On that same page, p115, it also says:

Unfortunately, the anfractuosity of some labyrinths may actually prohibit a permanent solution. More confounding still, its complexity may exceed the imagination of even the designer. Therefore anyone lost within must recognize that no one, not even a god or an Other, comprehends the entire maze and so therefore can never offer a definitive answer. [In the Navidson house,] any way out remains singular and applicable only to those on that path at that particular time. All solutions then are necessarily personal.

This sounds a lot like Deconstruction and Post-Structuralism, which isn't a coincidence given that Derrida was just quoted on p112. From the Wikipedia page on Deconstruction:

Derrida's deconstruction strategy is also used by postmodernists to locate meaning in a text rather than discover meaning due to the position that it has multiple readings.

It's probably also relevant that most of the book is about Johnny interpreting a text after the literal death of the author.

Footnote 140, which comes after "even the designer" in the above excerpt, includes this, in red and crossed out:

Or in other words: shy from the sky. No answer lies there. It cannot care, especially for what it no longer knows. Treat that place as a thing unto itself, independent of all else, and confront it on those terms. You alone must find the way. No one else can help you. Every way is different. And if you do lose yourself at least take solace in the absolute certainty that you will perish.

This ties the more general advice on interpreting texts back to the specific narratives in HoL. Before we dig into that more in the next section, note that Derrida was also a fan of putting things "under erasure" by crossing them out. Hmm...

Madness and the Minotaur

In multiple ways, the Minotaur is associated with absence. Most obviously, text mentioning it by name usually only appears in red and crossed out--Johnny says these are sections he recovered after Zampanò tried to erase them. The Minotaur also seems to be absent within TNR; the labyrinth of the House suggests its presence through growls and slash marks, but a beast never actually appears, and instead, things within the labyrinth seem to gradually fade out of existence. In myth, of course, the Minotaur was removed from society by hiding it in the labyrinth, and was eventually slain by Theseus, obliterating it forever.

On p335 we get footnote 295, again in red and crossed out:

At the heart of the labyrinth waits the Mi[ ]taur and like the Minotaur of myth its name is [ ] Chiclitz treated the maze as trope for psychic concealment, its excavation resulting in (tragic[ ] reconciliation. But if in Chiclitz's eye the Minotaur was a son imprisoned by a father's shame, is there then to Navidson's eye an equivalent misprision of the [ ] in the depths of that place? And for that matter does there exist a chance to reconcile the not known with the desire for its antithesis?

(The footnote continues, making the shape of a sword with large gaps in the blade.) Empty brackets in this section supposedly denote burnt holes in the manuscript, but since they are consistently used to make puns, it's clear that at least one of the authors is being intentional. We could read the gaps here as literal: the name of the Minotaur is [nothing], the labyrinth conceals the treacherous [nothing] in its depths.

The chapter that footnote appears in (Chapter 13), which is titled The Minotaur, begins with a quote that is translated as so (p313):

a slow shadow spreads across the prairie, but still, the act of naming it, of guessing what is its nature and its circumstances creates a fiction, not a living creature, not one of those who wander on the earth.

In this poem, El otro tigre, Borges compares a tiger in a poem, made of words and symbols, to "the other tiger" of flesh and blood, out in the wild. No matter how he tries to capture it with writing, the real tiger will always elude him.

So the Minotaur is connected to absence, nothingness, emptiness, and so on. This chapter draws additional associations with death and madness, which of course are also forms of loss or absence--both of self, and of meaning.

Is Johnny the Minotaur?

Johnny is strongly associated with the Minotaur, but his exact relationship with it is more complex than simply "Johnny is the Minotaur" or "the Minotaur represents Johnny". He is stalked by the creature in various forms, and he has nightmares or delusions in which he is the Minotaur. Raymond, the abusive foster dad, calls Johnny "beast". I think it's most accurate to say he is scared of the Minotaur and scared of being or becoming it, especially if we're interpreting it as nothingness or madness. And we know how his story ends.

There's another association I make with Johnny which isn't as explicit and doesn't seem to have been discussed as much, and that is to Icarus. There are hints of this early on--his father is a pilot, he's strongly associated with the sea and drowning, his fantasy when he meets Thumper sounds like flying--but it's brought home in the story about getting the scars on his arms, on page 505, and all the allusions and imagery. He burns and then drowns.

Zampanò, likewise, is like Daedalus. He built the labyrinth that is the manuscript, and which traps both Johnny and himself. There are some suggestions in the text that he and Johnny are like figurative (or in some theories, literal) father and son. But Daedalus, unlike Perilaus, was able to free himself from his own invention, and it seems like this wasn't true for Zampanò.

(This may be too much of a pet theory; I'm not sure it's as well-supported as the other parts of this post. But there's something there, I'm pretty sure.)

House

A house is a structure that defines empty space and imbues it with meaning by separating it from the greater nothingness. The novel is likewise a structure that gives form to a particular nothingness (fiction) by defining it and separating it from the greater nothingness (everything else that has not happened).

As readers, we follow a narrative "thread" through the text, but encounter only the Minotaur (nothingness) within. Just as the Minotaur in Chiclitz's play was portrayed sympathetically, the absence does not need to be bad or monstrous--it's just nothing. As we see in the key shape of footnote 123 (p110-111), the Minotaur is the key, but there is no Minotaur. There is no key. The key is crossed out (both the text comprising it, and the key itself, by being split across two pages). Perhaps we "slay" this Minotaur by imposing our own meaning? Would that be noble or tragic?

The house itself is what matters, but the house is blue, and blue means open to interpretation--what a blue screen meant in the 90s, before digital film became the norm. Everyone projects their own thoughts and fears onto the house, and it reflects those back at them. It's meaning and memory; you get out of it exactly what you bring. Blue is shifting and unfathomable like the sea. You could lose yourself in its depths.

Though "out of the blue" specifically seems more like a deus ex machina, because I'm pretty sure the blue of the sky is associated with God, eyes/cameras/observers, and us (MZD and the readers), though I don't have examples prepared to back that up. "Shy from the sky" (see "Derrida's Deconstruction") could then be taken as "don't look to the author for answers".

But if there is any meaning to be found, it also can't be found looking only within the text and the world it defines, without considering those final layers. The stories all intertwine and even loop back on themselves, as when Navidson and Johnny both encounter their own book. Using the HoL to light your way through HoL will lead nowhere. You'll need help from the outside.

So?

Okay, okay, okay. So what?

"SO?" asks the text (p103), and maybe you do, too. Sew buttons, says the Morse code of footnote 119 on the same page. Dismissing the question? Or suggesting you work hard to secure your buttons with a whole spool of thread, as Johnny does near the end (p514) to avoid losing them to the labyrinth?

Shortly after, on p516, Johnny writes this:

Wasn’t darkness nothingness? Wasn’t that Navidson's discovery? Wasn’t it Zampanò's? Or have I misconstrued it all? Missed the obvious, something still undiscovered waiting there deep within me, outside of me, powerful and extremely patient, unafraid to remain, even though it is and always has been free.

This (and some of his other writing late in the story) reads to me like possibly an acknowledgement or dim awareness of reality outside the book, but I'm not sure. I'm just going to point to it, and also the part a little further down the page, where he describes a sunset as "Reds finally marrying blues."

How do we reconcile red and blue? Is it about reconciling ourselves to the lack of true meaning, as in Nihilism? Or choosing to focus only on the "real", refusing to lose ourselves in the endless cycle of interpretation?

I don't know. There's probably more that can be built on this foundation, but this is as far as I've gotten. If you actually got through all that, wow, thanks for reading, and by all means let me know your own thoughts.

She smirks at him. “What’s the problem Mr. Nova?” She asks with a raised eyebrow. “Are you ticklish?” She questions as she runs her finger over the same spot on the scar. She had never seen Donny squirm so much.

It was entertaining, she had no intention of stopping. She was thrilled he’d gotten some sleep, but she was bored and she had always wanted to touch the scar. Thankfully it didn’t hurt him anymore.

‘ N   No! ’ He claims through his laughter, squirming just enough to make her stop. He is comfortable in her arms otherwise. Besides the ticklish onslaught, Donny could consider this a good way to wake up. Perhaps, they could wake up this way every day.

March, 1978

Javier Peña wasn’t unhappy, exactly, just restless.

He felt like he had missed the boat on something big, a chance to get out of his hometown and really see the world, to do something important. But he had flunked out of his third semester of college back in Kingsville (too many girls and beers, not enough focus and willpower) and now he was here… which was nowhere, but at least it wasn’t Laredo. In Laredo everyone knew him and his family, and there were far too many people who were eager to butt in, inquire about his failed plans, or to try to pair him off with someone.

Antes, TX was smaller than home, but full of strangers so at least it felt a little bigger. Two days after dropping out, Javier started the engine of his yellow 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix and began a long, meandering road trip that led him from Kingsville to Corpus Christi to San Antonio, and then he just kept going. He wasn’t sure if he would leave the state or not, but after passing through Fredericksburg and then San Angelo, he ended up in a bar in Abilene.

After five beers and a game of darts with a guy around his age named Steve Murphy, Javier had a job offer at Steve's dad's sheet metal factory in Antes. The town wasn’t big, and it wasn’t flashy, but it was on the opposite side of the state from everything that Javier hoped he could leave behind. So Antes it was.

Javier had fallen into a routine over the past four months, broken only by a Christmas trip home to see his dad. He worked a hard forty at the sheet metal factory all week, and then logged another fifteen drinking after work with Steve.

Friday and Saturday nights were the most dull in Antes, save for the occasional hour-long drive into Abilene for some excitement. But after a few too many bar fights and one particularly nasty rollover that totaled Steve’s baby-blue Volkswagen Beetle, Javier decided to stay put in Antes and save up some money until he could figure out what the hell he wanted to do with his life.

Something to break the monotony was necessary, but he was hoping it wouldn’t lead to another broken wrist anytime soon.

“No, like this. Arms out, and then twirl me toward you.”

Your best friend Connie rolled her eyes and sighed for the millionth time that afternoon. “I’m gettin’ tired of helping you practice. Can I please go home?”

“No, just one more. Please? I’ll buy you that Donny Osmond album that you wanted. Pleeease?” You pushed your lower lip out a little and made puppy-dog eyes at her.

“C’mon, Connie. You love the way he sings ‘Fly Into the Wind’. And I’ll ask Aunt Linda to send you a signed picture from California.”

Connie grinned and gave in. “Okay, just one more, then I gotta scoot.”

Connie took her place again, arm extended to twirl you in and then back out. She was four inches shorter than you and blonde, but given the total lack of tall, handsome, Tony Manero-lookalikes in your tiny Texas burg, she was an acceptable substitute.

“One, two, three and back out.” You finished your twirl and bowed to Connie. “Thank you, ma’am.”

She pulled you in for a fierce hug. “You’re welcome. Sorry I’m not John Travolta, hon.”

You laughed. Connie pulled away from the hug and wagged her finger up at you. “Remember, that photo of Donny Osmond better be signed.”

You crossed your heart and nodded solemnly. “I’ll write to Aunt Linda this evening, promise.”

Connie smiled and waggled her fingers at you as she opened your bedroom door to leave. You heard her say goodbye to your mama as you flopped onto your bed, staring up at the posters on your walls, some of which you felt you were outgrowing.

Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox from “CHiPs” vied for wall space with Shaun Cassidy and Davy Jones, along with pictures of John Travolta with his gorgeous wavy hair from “Welcome Back, Kotter”. But the crowning jewel of your collection was a full-size poster of John Travolta as Tony Manero from “Saturday Night Fever” that Aunt Linda had sent you last week, all the way from Los Angeles.

The white suit, the light up dance floor, the smoldering look on his face as he struck that pose. It made you feel hopeful, like one day you might be special enough to catch the attention of a handsome man like that, go off and have adventures and see the world.

Tucked carefully in with two record needles and three new albums was her letter:

Dear Bug,

I miss you! I know you loved Saturday Night Fever when we saw it down in Austin over Christmas break (3 times). Hope this poster sets your heart a-flutter, but don’t get to staring so long that you forget to do your chores. Remember if you’re extra-extra-extra-good I might be able to talk your mama and daddy into letting you come see me this summer.

L.A. is so fun! Last week I was waiting for an audition and Julie London walked right through the lobby! Took everything I had not to jump up and squeal at her and start singing Cry Me A River. She’s just as stunning in person as you would think, only I didn’t get a chance to say anything.

Listen, Ladybug, don’t tell your mama but I had to leave my apartment because Bobby and I broke up, so when you come out you’ll stay with me at my new boarding house. She’d probably think it’s a flophouse, but it’s like a girls dormitory and we have fun all weekend. Just a lotta hootin and hollerin like a big sleepover.

Enjoy the albums, and take good care not to scratch em - I’ll show you some new dance moves next time I see you.

XOXO

Hugs & Kisses, L

OK SO I HAVE LIKE. 4 MAIN OCS AND A BUNCH OF OTHER OCS

One of my main OCS is a human that is shipped with Donnie {SHSHSHSHHHH totally not a self insert}

{old design, I need to give her a new ref. Because the side that's darker uh- not in her canon anymore}

She is a girl that moved to New York after the movie.

Then there is Shadow, she is a brown cat Yokai with one blue eye and one brown eye. She has tooooo much trauma. She is severely traumatized.

There is Vi, short for Violante. She is adopted by Big Mama. Turns Disaster Twins into Disaster Trio {she is the same age as them} meets them at her Sweet 17 {they "accidentally" crash the party after finding out about her}

Then next is Spiderling, bio daughter of Big Mama. Her and Vi are besties. Spiderling is like... 8? Idk but she is young. She is child.

Oh and she is SMOL

Spiderling is so cute! The massive bow IS EVERYTHING TO ME btw <33 And the cracks in vi's plastron look so cool! I'm assuming she was mutated or something, but the face mask concept is really good actually! I'm surprised that I didn't think about it earlier, but now I'm kind of in love with it! (wait did I mention that the design on spiderling's back looks so nice too? ugh I love that stuff sm) Thanks for sharing with me your ocs by the way! I really like them, and I'm always interested in hearing about other's oc lore anyway! I'd definitely like to see Shadow some day, but no pressure! (I feel bad for their trauma already asdasdwas) and your human oc's design looks pretty neat as well! Thanks for this btw, and have a nice day and hydrate! <33

Chapter 22 - ALL my notes for this chapter. This post is complete, now. I'm crying again. Good morning everyone.

I MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME BUT SHE CHANGED DONNIE'S CONTACT NAME FROM 💜🐢 TO donnie! Also, when they text here, Donnie always, always responds to her immediately, while for her there are several minutes between her receiving his texts and her responding. Also also, this text:

donnie (8:20 a.m.)

W

Did he send that by accident? It's so unlike him. Was that him starting to ask what happened again?

Spending eight hours in the practice rooms is hardly anything that’s unfamiliar or even uncommon to you, but by Thursday, you find yourself dragging, tired, tired, tired, so so tired. ... What happened? ... Your back hurts. You’re tired. You want to just collapse onto your couch and not move until you need to go back in tomorrow. What happened? You could always do this level of work before. This is what you always used to do. Yet it’s suddenly as if you don’t have the stamina for it. What happened?

Again, Vi being so affected by everything she's been through and not even really understanding... this mirrors her not realizing she was sick, not realizing/being surprised that she was so affected by almost being shot, etc.

Thinking of Leo’s disapproving face, you pick at some leftovers from the takeout left in your fridge for supper.

Once again. How is she going to fare now? Who is going to take care of her? No one knows about what happened between her and Leo. Even now, before she knows about Leo, she's struggling so much. Going through her day robotically, not eating enough, losing herself in practice and work. After this chapter... it's going to be so much worse.

When she's reflecting on the miscommunication, I agree with her. Neither she nor Donnie really did anything wrong.

Yeah. You’re going to be fine, you think with the tiniest glow of optimism

Oh honey. You got a big storm coming. (Let me hug her. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. I'm so worried. Sam confirmed that, at the very least, Vi isn't going to hurt herself (Thank God thank God thank God) but she still doesn't take care of herself very well.

I'm so glad she has Sinclair as a friend, too. Someone not involved with the fam.

When she's playing during the memorial concert and thinking about the fam... God. She loves so, so deeply. Then -> Even when the piece returns again to the main theme, it carries on its breath a beacon that reminds you, a little, of the picture in the front of your apartment. A reminder that darkness is only as frightening as you let it be, that hope is always a weapon against it. If there is a moment, after Leo's reveal, where she looks at that picture and feels the opposite, remembers the time Leo scared her and replaced the frame, loses hope even for a moment... I'm going to lose it. I'm going to absolutely lose my fucking mind with rage at Leo and sorrow for Vi.

God. She brings bread to Lou Jitsu night. Another twist of the knife for Leo, a reminder of how upset she is about Donnie (he knows that she bakes when she's stressed, she specifically told him that early on) AND of how good/thoughtful she is.

She doesn't even want to ask someone for help with the manhole cover. Already, she's withdrawing. Even before Leo... how bad is it going to be? How long until someone realizes?

Poor Donnie. He doesn't understand!!! He's done nothing wrong!!! The rejection from Vi, coming out of nowhere for him... I feel so bad for him.

Also:

Donnie looks down at where you’re cutting up the fruit. The back of his hand presses to his mouth, and he averts his gaze. ... Donnie absconds, leaving you to blink at his back, then down at your hands, wondering what he’d seen in your juice-stained hands to have sent him running like that.

Is this JUST him upset/anxious/confused over her dismissal of him? Or is there something else, with the fruit? I refuse to let anything go anymore.

[April talking] "I’m still shocked I didn’t have to fight to get them to publish my last bit on the bombing at the quartet workshop. I’ve never had it so easy getting stuff like that through, before"

Once again, I'm not letting anything go. Will this be important later?

you don’t return to your spot on the couch where Donnie’s still sitting, his eyes looking at you like he’s trying to calculate something

He's so confused :(

Yeah, right, you think fondly. You’re pretty sure no one is capable of doing anything to upset Mikey.

Just fucking WAIT until Mikey finds out what Leo did. Oh my god. Oh my GOD.

(Vi got to meet Pavarotti, that's so fucking cool)

Donnie keeps trying to talk to her, to touch her. And then:

“Can we—” he starts. You don’t let him stop before you twist away, putting your back to him and finding someone, anyone nearby. Leo meets your gaze where he’s leaning back against the wall, and you nearly weep with relief. You can feel Donnie’s tense posture behind you, but you ignore it, nearly swallowed with the nervous energy that threatens to drown you. 

This must hurt him so much. Yeah, I can see why he thought Vi and Leo were together or something.

And Leo. Not being all there. Dreading the conversation that's to come, knowing it's all going to change after tonight.

“Right. Sorry to bother you,” you say genuinely [to Leo]

(How could you?)

[Vi talking about the memorial concert] this time, I got kinda caught up in my head. Thinking about you guys. What the event should mean. For you.”

Leo’s eyes soften, and his mouth gets a complicated twist that confuses you. His right hand tightens at his thigh before unfurling, a gesture so quick you almost miss it. 

(How could you?)

Finally the conversation with Donnie. It hurts, how confused he is. How upset he is when she explains.

“I meant romantically,” you say, watching as his entire body freezes. Eyes wide, not moving an inch. You’d think him a statue, were it not for the way that his gaze is trembling a little.

“…I didn’t,” he says, his breath a little airy. 

Do you think this is the catalyst for him starting to consider whether he really does like her romantically? It being said out loud like this, explicitly?

It really is a breath of fresh air for them to finally be on the same page, talking openly and explicitly. It's so nice. I'm so thankful for this conversation. Sam really did do an amazing job with it. I'm not going to paste anything in because literally the entire thing is phenomenal.

Donnie's so fucking distraught at the idea of not being near Vi, of not even talking to her.

“However you’ll let me have you.”

Desperate. God, it hurts. And when they talk, here, there's an emphasis on "just friends" - how will that affect Donnie if/when he realizes that he DOES like her romantically?

Donnie squints his eyes. “…I suppose Leo did make an odd face before when he learned that I recorded things,” he concedes.

Is this referring to when Leo finds this out in the show? Years and years ago, at this point in the fic? Or did Leo find out that Donnie recorded things with Vi and assumed that she had consented to it?

And finally we get to the conversation with Leo. I'll try my best not to paste in too much, but again the entire thing is so... it kills me.

“…It’s been almost ten years,” he says instead. 

“Since Krang?” 

“Since Donnie touched someone else.”

Yeah. I get it. I get why he did it. I really do. But that doesn't make it any less of a really shitty thing, it doesn't make it any less of a betrayal.

(Hearing more details on how affected Donnie was by the Technodrome fucking kills me and I love it. I hope we get even more insight as to how bad he was.)

"It was so obvious that he had feelings for you." ... "you tell me that you’re dating, that you like him, and—and I see it on his face. That he feels the same for you."

Leo is so good at reading people. This is another check in the 'Donnie loves her and doesn't realize' box.

“I stopped. Completely. After we talked in my room.”

The words are like a knife in your heart. You bark a demented laugh. “Oh, only then?!"

That was so recently. It hurts. It hurts so much.

“You weren’t part of the family!”

This. This is the worst, absolute WORST part. From day fucking ONE he knew. He knew she was lonely and wanted a family. He knows how important they are to her. I'm literally crying again reading this. It hurts. It hurts so much.

For the first time in your life, you feel your face go perfectly, completely blank.

Leo’s face crumples. “No. No, sweetheart, no—”

He knows how much that hurt her. He sees everything. He knows how absolutely earth-shattering this is for her. And it's all his fucking fault. And when he calls her "mi tesorito" after that and she tells him not to call her that... God. It's so fucking painful.

“Don’t—Don’t do this. Please. Please, don’t do this. Let me make it right. Come on, open the door. Talk to me. Please, please, talk to me. Don’t shut me out like this. I can—I can’t—” ... “Please, open the door. Open the door and talk to me. Please—” Leo sobs, the thud of his forehead hitting the barrier between you audible. 

Desperate. Distraught. Destroyed. The regret is choking him. He fucked up, fucked up SO BADLY. AGAIN. It's ALL HIS FAULT. AGAIN. (How could you? How COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU HOW COULD YOU HOW COULD YOU HOW-)

(Was it worth it?)

I'm in Hell

SPOILERS FOR SYMPHONY CHAPTER 22 - THIS POST IS LONG YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

I'm so Unwell. I have never had any misunderstandings like the thing with Donnie, but I have been betrayed by someone who was my best friend for years, so this chapter... it's hitting me really, really hard.

---

When Leo first met Vi, he was studying her a lot. Remember the near-physical weight his scrutiny had felt like? You feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. ... like a pinned rabbit ... you see an obsidian edge beneath his smile that feels a little sharp as you lean into it.

And then later in her apartment:

[Leo talking] “…You know what really got me interested in talking to you?”

“What?” you ask, tilting your head. 

“Donnie came back from talking with April and he was talking about you."

This is literally Vi and Leo's first time meeting - I don't think Leo started to really hate her until after she started coming to the Lair and he saw how Donnie reacted to her presence, but he mentions that Donnie talked about her already. It's framed within Vi's mind as him being careful with his family. He's the leader, he's careful around new people, he wants to make sure she isn't a threat, etc. But even though this is before the touch thing started, there could've been the seed of hatred already there depending on how Donnie spoke about Vi to Leo.

---

He [Leo] peers at you like he can read your life story where it’s written on your soul. ... “…You don’t have a lot of friends, do you?” he asks, his voice soft and yet cutting you all the same.

and this:

[Vi talking] “I had a lot of fun tonight. I’d… like to have more nights like this one. To. To have a family. If I can.” “You can,” he [Leo] says

He knew from the first fucking time he met her that she was lonely. That she wanted friends, wanted a family, wanted to belong. He knew that better than anyone else in the family, not only because of her saying this to him but also because of how well he reads people and how much time he spent with her. He's the only one who has seen her in her apartment, too, caught her in those few vulnerable moments in her home. I'm so fucking angry.

There are so many times in the fic that... I can't even articulate... here's some quotes early on -> "you hate how much you like this guy [Leo]" and "you smile when you see [the text notification is from] Leo" and when Vi is sick in the store she says "I miss Leo" and on and on. And that whole fucking time! He was!! UGH!!!

---

When Vi agrees to make Leo some bread so that maybe he can get some of Donnie's apology cookies he texts her "ttyl i gotta go rub this in donnie’s face" and yeah that's him being a little shit as always, but it's ALSO proof of him using EVEN THEIR PRIVATE TEXT CONVERSATIONS as ammunition rile up Donnie.

---

Hey look! Bits that hit different/hint at more going on/might be Leo's mask slipping!

“How long do we hafta wait before she ain’t a guest anymore?” Raph asks, causing you to snort a laugh. 

“That’s up to Donnie,” Leo says, voice heavy with an undercurrent of meaning you’re not picking up on, causing you to look at him with a raised eyebrow. He smirks, reaching over to poke your cheek with his finger. “Y’know. He’s the one who met you first, and all that.” 

…Something tells you it’s more than that, but he’s good enough at hiding it that you don’t feel comfortable calling him on it in front of the others.

...

you have no idea how you fit in [to the family], and Leo had all but told you that the space is here, ready and emblazoned with your name on it. You don’t quite see it yet, even if he apparently does.

...

“Yeah, don’t worry about it. It’s complicated,” Leo says easily, and it’s only just, but you pick out the thread of iron bars in his tone, ready to come crashing down if you push even a little too hard. So, you don’t.

“Okay,” you say easily, causing him to get that piercing look he gets sometimes, the one when he feels more like a ninja than a funny turtle man who tries to see how many cookies he can shove into his mouth at once and sends you pizza rat memes at four in the morning. “…Dude, we’ve been friends for like, a week. It’s cool that you aren’t ready to spill your guts yet, you know that, right?” 

His eyes go sharp, but then he hums and smiles. You feel like you did the night you first met him, like there’s a test here and it’s in a language you don’t understand. It’s a bit uncomfortable, prompting you to grab your own drink and swallow a healthy bit of it just to have something to do.

...

[Vi talking] “…He [Donnie] seems lonely.”

Leo hums under his breath, cutting a portal that feels a little like home. “Well, lucky he has you, then.”

...

“Uh, I met her first,” Donnie says, scowling, while Leo just gives him a smug look. 

...

You do, however, lean in while the others are occupied, whispering to Donnie, “So, ten dollars, which one of them tops?” and laughing when he chokes. You catch Leo’s eyes and give him a devious grin, spying him look to Donnie with a curiously blank look before shifting to a catty smile of his own when he looks back to you

...

“One portal home for a lovely lady,” Leo says as he steps through, his face going a little flat when he looks over your shoulder to Donnie behind you.

...

Leo is… astonishingly quiet for a moment, his face blank of anything for you to read as he stares at the piece hard. Then he looks up at you, and you see an unusually capable person that doesn’t feel like your best friend, even as much as it feels like the real Leonardo, here for the first time for you to see.

...

[Vi talking] “I don’t… I don’t like keeping secrets. Or lying. Not from people I care about.” 

The weight of Leo’s eyes is almost physical. It makes you remember that he’s asked you to keep secrets, and your eyes snap to his, wondering if that’s the reason why he’s gone still like this. “I—I haven’t told anyone. About the ninja thing, or the Krang thing. I’d never—”

“I know,” Leo interrupts, threading his hand through your hair so he can cup your nape and press your forehead to his own. “I trust you.” You release a sigh of relief, nodding. “I’m just… thinking it might be time for us to repay that back.” 

You blink, gaze darting between his eyes. “I don’t… what do you mean?”

“We’re a pretty close-knit family. There’s a lot of… baggage. A lot of history. A lot of stuff we haven’t told you. And it’s… it’s starting to feel a little disrespectful,” he says, looking a bit displeased. “You’re one of us. It’s only fair.”

---

We all know about the constant comments Leo makes about being Vi's "favorite turtle" and "best friend" in front of the others/in the group chat. He talks in Chapter 22 about purposefully draping himself across her and pulling her close, hugging her, scenting her, touching her in front of Donnie to piss Donnie off. But there's all these other little things that seemed so innocent at the time and now I'm losing my mind wondering about each of them, wondering - is that something he did with malicious intent? How many nice things were ONLY done to piss off Donnie? There are so many times that he compliments her - for example:

“What? I can’t compliment my bestie and her fine legs?” Leo coos, reaching over and flicking your nose gently.

“Leonardo,” Donnie warns, folding his arms.

And I remember, during my second read through after I finished Chapter 20, being so happy and grateful that Leo was pretty consistently giving her compliments, because she deserves to be complimented and taken care of and loved, because she deserves good friends who hype her up, and this WHOLE TIME-

(Side note - that time that Leo complains she smells like Donnie's lab, he shoves her away and she falls to the floor. First read, it's just Leo being playful. Second read, I wonder... is that a little bit of his frustration getting out of him in a physical way? He shoved her to the fucking floor, and then, once Donnie shows up, Leo pats the cushion next to him for Vi to sit by him. Then he wraps his arm around her and pulls her in close to smell her. But that's only after Donnie shows up.)

When Mikey takes Vi's So-Shell profile picture -> “Wha—?” you start, only to feel Leo leaning in to smoosh his cheek against yours, the distinct feeling of bunny ears brushing the back of your skull. Once again, this is in front of Donnie. Plus it's for her profile picture, so that means every time Donnie sees her So-Shell profile he'll see Leo in the picture, too. Leo was also famously the first like on her first So-Shell post and gets her to always leave nice comments/emojis on his thirst traps.

When she comes to the Lair to practice with her viola, Leo offers up HIS room first, and only once she declines does he -> “Ugh, fine, you are so boring,” he says, and removing his arm, he shoves at your shoulders hard and pushes you through the portal. (Pushing her onto the floor, pushing her through the portal... he's kind of rough with her in the beginning, and I figured it was just because he's haha silly funny turtle man, physical comedy, joking around whatever but... again I wonder. Is he letting himself be a little rough as a way to express his true feelings?)

God, all these little things that... might have an ulterior motive and might not.

It's around the time Vi gets bruised up by that guy at the coffee shop that Leo seems to start actually acting like a real friend, in my opinion. “…You don’t even get how incredible you are, do you?” he asks, causing you to roll your eyes. “You seriously don’t see it.” 

The very next chapter he gets a glimpse of her being anxious over not being able to play, while she notices that he looks tired, invites him to listen to music and lets him sleep on her back, and in that chapter it says: you sit, quiet, letting him use you. My second read through, this line hit me hard because I KEPT noticing that she really does nothing but GIVE and I feel like she's constantly doing things to be useful to others. And now, as I'm skimming through a third time, it turns out that... yeah. Yeah. He was fucking using her. In Chapter 22, Leo says "then you reach out and touch me in a way no one has. You’ve helped me, even though I was just using you" and I'm thinking this is the moment that that really started. When she first let him sleep on her. And that's also the first time he churrs with her. After that, he gets her really nice sushi, and she thinks he's guilty for drooling all over for her, but I think maybe he was guilty because he's starting to realize how nice she is and how shitty it is that he's using her like that, even though he does continue those manipulative behaviors.

---

He sighs, his face going openly affectionate. “…You’re so…” 

What he thinks you are, you don’t know, as he chooses instead to pull you into a hug. You go easily, seeking the comfort of his embrace, hoping he can feel in your arms that you truly do mean what you said. 

“You know, instead of sorry, you should say—” Leo says, though as his face gets close to your throat, his mouth snaps shut and he goes still in a manner that reminds you a little of Donnie. 

“…Leo?” you ask, going to pull back from the hug to look into his face only to feel his hands go tight on your back, holding you close while he dips his beak to your skin and inhales. When he does pull back, he’s got a look of shock on his face that he quickly schools into something more neutral, but barely. 

This is where he smells Donnie on you for the first time, and the guilt he was starting to feel, the actual genuine affection he was developing for her, may have then been interrupted/overshadowed by his anger.

Vi was right to say she isn't gonna go back and examine every detail, because it's so fucking MUDDY! There are glimpses of true softness from him sprinkled throughout with him ALSO still hanging over her and doing shit that pisses Donnie off on purpose. And then of course the scene with Leo in the kitchen when he scares her, where we get the first big glimpse into his true anger about the whole situation, where we see him being sharp and cutting and dismissive and- I'm not going to paste in that whole scene, but he's so, so, SO angry. When she has that visceral, terrified reaction, he feels so bad (I do think he was genuinely, truly horrified that he scared her), but then he finds out that Vi and Donnie are (as far as Vi is aware) dating, followed by her telling him that Donnie misses touching his brothers, misses hugs, followed by Leo deciding to tell Vi about all the family secrets... so he's wrestling with this rage and jealousy, but he's also starting to really accept her as family (I think, since he shared the info about the Krang, about Lou Jitsu, about Casey, since he asked for her help)...

It kills me that, after that, he saw her trying so hard to help, like when she went to the library and got books on PTSD and fell asleep taking notes and she wakes up with a blanket covering her and a little blue heart on a note - he saw her doing that, on top of everything else she CONSTANTLY does for other people, for his family, and HE STILL, EVEN AFTER THAT, DOES SHIT THAT'S MANIPULATIVE. THE 4TH OF JULY PARTY, FOR EXAMPLE. “What she said,” Leo purrs, his fingers fluttering on your stomach as his eyes cut off to the side. He has a sharp look to his features that you’re a bit too drunk to dissect, so you just ignore it. He HAS to be looking at Donnie, here.

(Side note - we still don't know what Leo was doing when Vi was in the shower getting ready for the party... if anything. Maybe he really was eating cookies.)

It's at the end of the party that he smells sex on Vi, I think, for the first time. And the following chapter is when he starts avoiding Vi, and she goes to confront him and he says he's "Thinking about things. About what I want.” And THAT'S when he finally stops his bullshit. Ch 22 - "I stopped. Completely. After we talked in my room.”

---

I'm still working on fully re-reading Chapters 17+ until I make it back up to 22 and putting more thoughts into that post, but. Dear God. Sam is a genius and I'm so angry at myself. I had been so confused and angry with Donnie, when in reality he truly DID NOT KNOW about the misunderstanding between him and Vi. Meanwhile, as I'm fawning over Leo and so happy Vi has him and so grateful he's been such a good friend to her... he was the one using her, this whole time. I cannot believe it. I'm SICK with rage. I can't imagine how Vi could possibly... I can't... FUCK dude

So, TMNT X League of Legends is something my mind has been pestering me about for like, a few mins so let's do it

Splinter would have to be from Ionia,,,, The Foot Clan and Hamato Clan I don't think would be as prevalent as they were in in their series, mostly because of the Twilight Order being the main 'clan' in the country. Same old, same old, Yoshi and Saki fall in love with Tang Shen, Saki rebuilds Foot Clan, Tang Shen chooses Yoshi, the fire, yadda yadda yadda.

With all the grief and shit, Yoshi moved to Piltover. Yes, Piltover is now NYC. He goes down into Zaun with his baby turtles, they meet the Kraang, the mutagen thing is a thing, Zaun's severe case of plague rats transforms Yoshi into one,,,,

Now, I'm guessing the turtles would basically be Vastayan now. They end up living in Zaun's sewers,,,,,,, considering everyone in Piltover is Tony Stark at this point, Donnie's tech remains very advanced, and he deffo goes down on the Third Level to go sumpsniping on the regular,,,, seriously this dude with Hextech is a horrifying image,,,,

They go out in the night to protect Piltover, Shredder finds out, and the Foot Clan leaves Ionia to Piltover.

They get found out sometime, and the turtles now essentially have Piltover's Enforcers helping them on the case with the Foot. Vi and Raph regularly arm wrestle and Caitlyn and Leo talk strategy and fancy on the regular.

The Kraang is most likely some sort of Void species, or an extension of it. I have no idea how to implement the space shit, but Renet is defiently a Pulsefire.

Other info falls down into

I don't think Zed or the Shadow Order would work with the Foot clan. Despite Zed basically being very Shredder in their appearance, his goal is to protect Ionia, and considering that the Foot is a crime syndicate, Zed would hate their guts and try to take them down

Akali and Karai meet and become BFFs

They probably met Zac before, considering that he travels through the pipes

Mikey is probably a big fan of Seraphine's concerts,,,,

Everytime they hear about Jinx they collectively groan. That girl probably ruins their day by another 20%,,,

None of them like Singed. They live by #SingedLivesDon'tMatter. Splinter gets flashbacks of Shredder everytime they meet, mostly because of the eye thing,,,,

Also Jhin. They despise Jhin.

Splinter hangs out with Twitch every Wednesday for brunch

Warwick gets asked to join the Foot and his response is attempting to kill them. He kills criminals, he doesn't join them

Knowing Shredder, he probably does something to fuck around with the Spirit Realm, thus getting Shen and the Kinkou Order involved

If Irelia and Leo were too ever meet, they'd talk about the burdens of leadership

American Pie Presents: Girls 'Rules 2020 De La Pelicula Completa En Español American Pie Presents: Girls 'Rules (en francés Le Tout Nouveau Testament) es una película de 2020 coproducida por Bélgica, Luxemburgo y Francia dirigida y escrita por el cinesta belga Jaco Van Dormael en colaboración con Thomas Gunzig.

While the players who play a role in the film are referred to as actors (men) or actresses (women). There is also the term extras that are used as supporting characters with few roles in the film. This is different from the main actors who have bigger and more roles. Being an actor and an actress must be demanded to have good acting talent, which is in accordance with the theme of the film he is starring in. In certain scenes, the actor’s role can be replaced by a stuntman or a stuntman. The existence of a stuntman is important to replace the actors doing scenes that are difficult and extreme, which are usually found in action action films.

Films can also be used to convey certain messages from the filmmaker. Some industries also use film to convey and represent their symbols and culture. Filmmaking is also a form of expression, thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings and moods of a human being visualized in film. The film itself is mostly a fiction, although some are based on fact true stories or based on a true story.

There are also documentaries with original and real pictures, or biographical films that tell the story of a character. There are many other popular genre films, ranging from action films, horror films, comedy films, romantic films, fantasy films, thriller films, drama films, science fiction films, crime films, documentaries and others.

That’s a little information about the definition of film or movie. The information was quoted from various sources and references. Hope it can be useful.

1. TV MOVIE

The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1930s. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 19340 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until  the war. The 19440 World MOVIE inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 1948, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning         American Pie Presents: Girls 'Rules    Milton Berle the name “”Mr Television”” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 4, 1951 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets.

The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 1, 1954. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 19402, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season.

2. Formats and Genres

See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres

Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional MOVIE). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game shows.[citation needed]

A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode, it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 1980s, many MOVIE feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television MOVIE to have this kind of dramatic structure,[4][better source needed] while the later MOVIE Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intendevd five-season run.[citvatio””&n needed]

In 2007, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[5] Some also noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 2007, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “”I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television.
