Chapter 1 of Hollow out passing enternety (H.O.P.E.)"Leo's nightmare dream"

Master post ✨

2. Chapter

(quick note: all of the events are happening after the movie)

- After the fight with the krang aliens the turtles help Casey move in with April.

- Everyone that got hurt got treatment,but something felt awfully wrong...

- It felt too quiet, too tense ,too blank ,too empty...

- Everyone needed a break from everything so the turtles all went to their rooms.

- After a few days things started to get better not actually but noone said anything even Mikey was suspiciously quiet

- So one day Mikey decided to make lunch hopping to get someone to open up,but it was too quiet,too awfully quiet again.

- Until Mikey asked "Is anyone enjoying the food,I made?",Leo looks at him with tired eyes says trying to ack calm "Sure."mumbling to himself "So, you're just going to pretended like nothing happened?"and looks down.

...

- It didn't change anything the awkward silence wasn't gone

- Mikey looked down trying to hide in his shell,it was too awkward...too awfully awkward....

- Raph looked at Mikey like he wanted to say something,but ultimately saying nothing.

- It was too awkward, someone needed to say something again.

- Donnie trying to for the first time in a long while lighten up the mood he took a deep breath, trying to break the awkward silence and saying

"I'm going to my room.", slowly standing up, turning around and going to his room.

- Everyone was looking worriedly at Donnie except Leo that was too tired to even look up , right after Donnie leaves the room Leo uncomfortably calmly says "Im also going to my room."

- Now it was just Mikey and Raph in the kitchen it wasn't too awkwardly anymore, well that was at least a start.

- Raph a few minutes after Leo leaves the room says to Mikey"It's getting late, you should go to sleep.",Mikey pops out his head out of his shell and saying"Sure,but only if you go to bed too!",

Dr. Delicate touch is still doing their job hah.

- Raph agree's and goes to bed, Mikey doesn't keeps his word and goes to his room to draw until he's too tired sleep.

- After Leo went to his room he fell on his head and immediately fallen asleep.

- As Leo closed his eyes the room around him started to disappear.

- He was in the prison dimension re - liveing the same day of the invasion.

- The krang alien was beating Leo saying "I'll get that grin of your face!","YOU'RE the reason why my plan failed!".....

- Leo was calm like he was used to it already, mumbling annoyed "Not this again."

- The portal opened but on the other side were his brothers, laughing, joking, having fun, without HIM.....

- Leo was just standing there looking at his brother's having fun without him, without his annoying presence

- It was wrong, but he felt like he deserved it.

- The room replayed the day when he lost the key

- How fullish he was,how irresponsible he was.

- Leo starts to regret it

- Everything turns black and an intimidating voice says to Leo

"YOU ruined everything!"

"YOU almost killed them by being your irresponsible self!"

"YOU don't deserve to be happy!"

"YOU don't deserve to be safe with your brothers when you almost killed them!"

"YOU deserve to be stuck in the prison dimension for the rest of your life!"

"YOU should've died!"

- Leo starts to sob falling to the ground saying

"I deserved it."

"They would be much happier without me!"

"Why!?"

"Why did Mikey have to save me instead of leaving me in the prison dimension,like I deserved!?!?"

- Leo stops talking now fully crying curled up on the ground,as he slowly wakes up to reality sleeping on his bed safe,with his brothers he didn't deserve it.

Beyond how evil Hybe is, one of their worst qualities is the disgracefully ugly visuals they put out. They really don't give a flying fuck any more and they can't even pretend to do so. I truly believe they don't even have a creative department or anything of that kind anymore. Their stuff has been ugly for at least 5 years, some stuff looked better than other, but I just came across Jin's concept pictures on Twitter and my jaw legit dropped. As if the refried "rock concept" wasn't enough, the whole thing looks unbelievably cheap. It looks like a parody from a bad sitcom. I have never seen anything like this, not even from the smallest companies, which obviously have a fraction of Hybe's budget. To say I need Jimin and jungkook out of there is no longer just wishful thinking. Not to be dramatic but I will not be able to tolerate and pay for this kind of content. Golden and Muse were already a little... uninspired? I'd say. I cannot take worse than that. My love and money have their limits.

Adding a second message as it's more or less about the same topic.

Hybe might still have a creative department, but I find most of their work lazy and predictable, as you've pointed out as well. A lot of it comes across as unimaginative and a bit cheap overall and considering the prices and on a more macro level, the current economic situation, do we really want to pay for all of that? And I'm talking here about the lack of quality materials as well, not just at a conceptual level.

I do have the two versions of Muse and I'm fully aware of my participation in falling in the capitalist trap because of my position as a fan in this context, but looking at it as objectively as I can, it is not an album that I 100% like and I don't have any urge to open it up from time to time and look through it. The lack of quality is too obvious. It's the same with the AYS?! photobook. It's like they designed those pages with their eyes closed. A complete disgrace and what sucks is that it is so easy to come up with a better format. Do they not research photobooks? Or better yet, there's plenty of coffee table albums on fashion, photography, you name it, that can be used as inspiration. It's disappointing to say the least.

As to the actual concepts I too have an issue with using them without any sort of minimal connection to the idol or worse, the music itself. The first time I experienced this was through the Butter teasers which proved that it was just some aesthetic that had nothing to do with the actual mv. I'm mentioning Muse here again because I followed the promo closely. I can understand that the teasers are meant to be concepts for the overall album, but it can easily fall into a trap and become too generic or too vague. But what also happens is that fans immediately begin to theorize and look for symbolism in those 10 seconds clips and photoshoots, believing they'll find some clues to hidden messages. It's a futile exercise in meaningless interpretation.

Is Jin a rockstar? Is he releasing a rock album? Has he suddenly found his genre and now he's experimenting? Are bts a punk rock band because they appear dressed like that in a Seasons Greetings photoshoot? Is nothing but aesthetic and changing it all the time for every album without having an ounce of it in the actual music shows a lack of consistency.

It can be fun to experiment with various concepts. It allows idols to show their adaptability and it involves a bit of acting on top of it. It's like taking on a role. Perhaps framing it this way makes a bit more acceptable. But aesthetic concepts are not created from thin air. The more established ones are the result of subcultures (which do not exist anymore in this era of the internet, so it's not surprising that creatives are constantly looking back to the past for inspiration). But when there is a complete disconnection, it becomes too shallow and perhaps ridiculous as well. You can't sell an image if it has nothing to do with your own persona, music or your actual desire to experiment. Who actually believes Jin is the kind of idol with painted nails and, a guitar in hand, the classic outfit and eyes covered by messy hair? Not me because there hasn't been anything to indicate that there is something authentic. Perhaps there is, but there was no prior indication of that.

I used Jin as an example, but this is applied to other idols and groups. It will never be more than an aesthetic in the current use of the word by zoomers (the annoying lacking of meaning of "wow, that's so aesthetic!"). Perhaps we should think of it as modelling and idols as models made to express someone else's ideas as they become a canvas for concepts. Therefore, interpretation olympics should be reigned in.
