#AND I LOVE HIM FOR THAT

here's a thought:

tsukishima kei is mean. he complains that you talk too much, laughs when you flunk your tests, and insists that you're clingy. others wonder why you're even with him.

but they don't know that when he tsks at your rambling, he shifts one side of his headphones away to hear your voice. they don't know that even though he teases you for your low test scores, he would stay up late at night just to tutor you till you'd get it right. they don't know that after rolling his eyes at your affection, he places a chaste kiss on your forehead and hides his red face in your hair.

so when they say you deserve better, you laugh at their cluelessness and state with a smile, "he's more than everything i could ever want." and he falls in love with you all over again.

What did you mean by he's beat her ass cause she's a lesbian?

beating susie's ass was the most inspirational, earnest and meaningful connection she and gerson built in the entire chapter. even in undertale his pupil is undyne. the old man simply can't stop raising temperamental little dykes determined enough to defy fate

Being Big Red

Rise Ramblings #312

In “What Was Meant To Be” and “What They Became,” I discuss how the turtles were created by Draxum to be weapons and then how the boys were embraced by Splinter to be a part of the Hamato clan.

I also discussed how Splinter viewed television as a window into his former life. He used television as a means to drown himself in a never-ending cycle of reminiscing the past and mourning his former self.

Splinter’s crushing depression, though never voiced, impacted the turtles’ emotional growth and development. As a result, all four brothers had to cope with their father’s lack of attention and his expectations for their lives in their own way…

However, I believe that no one had more pressure placed on them than Raphael Hamato.

Raphael is naturally easy-going, sweet, fun-loving, and supportive. But, as the oldest/biggest turtle, he became the impromptu leader of their little team by default. Consequently, he takes on several different roles for the sake and well-being of his family.

Their day-to-day training regimen is directed completely by him.

He is the boys' moral compass and who they go to for guidance.

He's the team’s backbone, support, and backup, which often cumulates in him acting as a physical shield when things get rough.

And, most significantly, Raph is the leader even when he himself wants nothing more than to crumble to pieces.

Raph is so physically imposing, strong-willed, and devastatingly kind-hearted that it’s easy to expect these roles from him.

But, Raph is also just a child.

In reality, these roles should never have been Raph’s to bear…

Parentification is a process in which a child or adolescent is forced to act as a parent to their siblings (or to their actual parent) through providing emotional support (Emotional Parentification) or physical support (Instrumental Parentification) in order to maintain the household.

I believe that Raphael was subjected to both, but was especially subjected to the former.

All of the roles described above are the roles of a supportive parent to their children (or Sensei to their students.) To verify this claim, you needn’t look further than the roles that Splinter encompassed in any other iteration.

With Raph, none of this responsibility comes naturally. He has to work hard to live up to the pressures and expectations placed onto him, resulting in a dissonance between his responsibilities and his true nature.

I believe that you can see the evidence of this dissonance in his chosen form of dress.

Have you noticed that when Raph casually dresses himself, he mostly wears white?

Even Donnie picked up on this trend when he chose outfits for his brother in "The Clothes Don't Make The Turtle." (See "The Fashionista" for a full breakdown on Donnie's impeccable fashion sense.✨)

Yet, when Raphael is filling a role, or dressing to impress others, Red is his automatic go-to.

It’s almost as if the title of “The Red One” was not one that he chose, but one that was merely placed onto him.

But I digress...

Raph is able to be a pseudo-parent to his brothers and serves to fill in the gaps that their actual father could not fill. However, with no outlet for his own insecurities, all of that pressure had no relief.

And, if you understand chemistry, pressure, with no release, creates an explosion.

“Acting out” is an unhealthy defense mechanism in which one expresses their unacceptable feelings through physical actions.

In this case, the "unacceptable feeling" is disappointment, not at his brothers, or with his father, or with any external force, but with himself. And with no outlet and with no one to turn to for support, that disappointment turns into red hot anger.

He’s so disappointed with himself, in fact, that he reaches his breaking point.

Then finally, finally, he opens up.

And at long last, he gets the support he so desperately needed.

Thus, he is able to ultimately let it all go...

It's so lovely to see that his family does not disappoint.

you know that episode of parks and rec when ben goes on live tv and just completely freaks out?

yeah that’s john walker whenever he’s asked to do new avengers press

i feel like people forget our first introduction to his character is him being nervous about public speaking and practicing saying his name. that man is not good at interviews 😭

[wispedvellichor]

the arc of fourteen reacting to spice up your life like NPH personally kicked his dog to fifteen telling the Baby Eating Goblins to *Hit it Janice* so he could be a part of the DW Camp Evil Musical (TM) is particularly so endearing to me

Instead of your regularly scheduled depression related to the newest hyuluka comic, I would just like to point out that Hyuna didn't hate her wanted posters because she looked bad on them or that it reminded her she was a criminal or any other reasonable reason, she hated them because she knew Luka would be giggling at them like the 30 year old teenage girl he is.

AND SHE WAS RIGHT. Look at this little freak, he's so fucking happy. Like this is probably the most peacefully happy we have ever seen him. He looks like he wants to merge his very existence with this poster. He's even blushing for god's sake, he's literally a teenage girl swooning over his idol.

Even though it isn't super clear, you can tell from the bits of green that all the black pieces of paper on the floor are Hyuna's wanted posters. THIS LITTLE FUCKER HAS A COLLECTION. A COLLECTION OF WANTED POSTERS. No bcs where does one get a collection of posters for criminals. I can only think of 2 possibilities: 1, that he started grabbing them off the walls whenever he saw them, which I- I don't even know what to say or 2, he requested them as a reward for being a good pet-human, which is ALSO crazy because of all the things he could ask for he asked for pieces of paper with his lover's face on it.

I wonder if heperu just gave up after a while. He tried a few times to take down the posters, but then more just started popping up like pests and heperu can only go "WHERE IS HE GETTING THESE FROM" and eventually heperu realised that Luka looking at Hyuna's poster every night was making him a more compliant pet-human so he just went along with it. If pictures of a criminal makes Luka a better performer on stage, so be it. So now Luka has Hyuna's posters on his walls, all over his floor, he would probably have them on his ceiling if he could. Hyuna really does know him too well.
