Thinking about Rise Splinter hate… it always makes me kinda sad. Like YEAH, it wasn’t right the way he treated the boys. But like, Rise is really good at expressing subtle familial dynamics, and one of the big ones for me is the fact that like… there’s always an undercurrent of “It’s complicated” to their interaction with Splinter. IRL, it always pisses me off to see people casting judgments on people’s relationships with their family, because you don’t know!! Yeah, they hurt you, but not everything’s black and white. It’s complicated. Because you love them, and sometimes you get to understand a little bit better why things happened as you get older.

In a matter of smaller importance, hate for him loses so many opportunities in his character… even things that might just be kinda off-handedly mentioned.

He fought for SEVEN years—give me Splinter with chronic pain. Splinter relating to his boys with their neurodivergence—it’s HIS fault they have it!!!

That was seven years of imprisonment, or even simpler, an abusive relationship. What did he learn from that? How did he change? What things are skewed in his worldview?

His childhood! We saw his relationship with his grandfather a bit, but how did Splinter grow into his dream of being a movies star? HIM BEING A MOVIE STAR. He was both a rebellious team and a literal celebrity, this guy probably took empyrean at some point without knowing it, just like. Recreationally or something LMAO.

I maybe just need more of his old man knowledge. Him being so loser-core was a great move by the Rise team, and I could SEE where his story was going—ROBBED. We were ROBBED.

splinter hate is CRAAAAZY when he's such an INTERESTING character who does actually have a lot of obvious depth. like he's goofy and he's objectively flawed as a parent but he does go out of his way to improve himself and LEARN throughout the show, and he does listen and apologize when he knows he's messed up. his issues are so similar to leo's actually, leo's a kid so he's got more leeway to be shitty but idk when people act like its endearing on him and not on splinter. splinter's hilarious free my man

on the other side of the coin i dont really like when people make him a perfect loving parent either,,, i think people going for all kinds of interpretations in order to serve whatever story they need is fine but i do prefer kind of messy parent splinter, i think its kind of sad to see him reduced down to bad or good. he LOVES his boys so dearly and he would NEVER intentionally want to hurt them, but he's quick to cast judgement when he's angered/feels disrespected (evil league of mutants comes to mind, but also in turtle dega nights when donnie first stops the tank) and he's really a lot more inattentive than he should be. but there are REASONS behind this, coming out of an abusive relationship, fighting in bloodsports against his consent for years, you could probably count the whole draxum thing as traumatic (its presented as kind of silly in the show, but considering what it lead to,, its a pivotal moment in the backstory. its one of those things that i reasonably feel can be recontextualized because its so essential) and then dealing with crippling body dysmorphia and being forced into the sewers with no company other than his children,, it really adds up

idk like ,,,, you can still be extremely traumatized and be a horrible parent. in fact trauma can be a direct CAUSE of being a bad parent because that kind of thing influences every facet of your life and if youre unprepared emotionally, yeah. but splinter isn't the kind of person to double down and become more overtly nasty when he feels cornered. if he gets the feeling that his kids are actually upset with him, he backtracks. this is actually kind of a key trait of his, that he does try very hard to correct himself when he messes up. he's communicative and apologetic, and he tries very hard to be that way.

and also this is maybe something that i just have a wider problem with when it comes to the way people interpret things in cartoons at times but splinter's actions in eps like lair games (especially in lair games) and flushed but never forgotten are meant to be like. jokes. its absurdist comedy that's meant to catch you off guard. there are more serious emotional beats in rise you can use but i think when youre adapting this world and characters into a more serious tone you have to keep that kind of thing in mind because some things are meant to be surprising and absurd for the sake of making you laugh. i think the best comparison i can think of is how in musical movies they're not actually singing (in most cases, sometimes the fact that they actually are is played for laughs it depends. but yk what i mean). the joke is that this is kind of a shitty thing he's doing but taking the actions themselves seriously in a vacuum in order to cast shame on a character has always been odd to me. that'd be like calling raph abusive for rolling up the window on mikey's neck in late fee. or calling the teetz murderers because they caused a robot mass suicide that one time. it just doesnt make any sense

My friend convinced me to play Pocket Love (pic below) just to make a kazumaji home 😂 But I didn’t think that Kiryu and Goromi sleeping together in the game was accurate to how they really sleep so I made a little comic for demonstration ✨

Had another one of "YOU HAVE TO DRAW NOW" moments

I actually did the scene above on my second try of the battle, lv 90 doesn't exactly make it easy to lose

Also I think it's time to show those sketches too

The Siffrin practice once more, but this time a bit earlier

Also first try on figuring Loop's full body ref too

Also this little thing, not as polished as digital would've been

Imagine my reaction when I accidentally gave Loop a flower after trying already and they accepted it. I adored that 'yeah we won't speak of this, but I accept your stupid flower' scene more than anything and it was pure text after little scene

On the First day of Phanmas, oldphanny gave to me...

Thank you @pheelikeaphemqueen for coming up with the Twelve Days of Phanmas 2024 Art Challenge

I know I'm not known in the community for being an artist, but the idea was so cute that I had to give it a go! Stay tuned for the next 11 days for more cute little Christmas doodles <3

Game Day Challenges: Ensuring Safety & Order in Large Sporting Events

I’m Dr. Ravinder Singal, and for decades, I’ve been in the thick of the action, ensuring that the electric buzz of large sporting events doesn’t tip into chaos. Game Day Challenges aren’t just obstacles – they’re high-stakes puzzles that demand sharp planning, quick thinking, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring public safety during games. From mastering crowd management at sporting events to rolling out ironclad event security strategies, I’ve seen it all.

In this blog, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it takes to keep stadiums safe, sharing stories from the field, and diving into the nuts and bolts of stadium safety protocols, emergency response at stadiums, and large event risk management. Let’s talk about how we make game day crowd control work, so every fan goes home with a smile.

Sporting events are a celebration of passion, but they’re also a pressure cooker. Thousands of fans, fueled by adrenaline, packed into a stadium – it’s thrilling, but it’s also where sports event security planning becomes critical. Whether it’s a cricket showdown, a football clash, or a national athletics meet, managing large crowds at events is like conducting an orchestra: every note has to be perfect. Join me as I walk you through the Game Day Challenges I’ve tackled, leaning on law enforcement at sports venues and cutting-edge event security strategies to keep the game on track.

What Makes Game Day Challenges So Tough?

Let me tell you, Game Day Challenges are a beast. They’re about juggling a dozen risks at once – overcrowding, rowdy fans, medical emergencies, you name it. My years in public safety have taught me that crowd management at sporting events is the heart of a smooth event. One wrong move, like a clogged entry gate or a sluggish emergency response at stadiums, and things can unravel fast. I think back to the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, where 96 lives were lost because stadium safety protocols weren’t up to par. It’s a grim reminder of what’s at stake.

I remember a cricket match in a buzzing city stadium, with 50,000 fans pouring in. The energy was off the charts, but so was the risk of disorder. We leaned hard on event security strategies, using real-time crowd monitoring and staggered entries to keep things flowing. That day taught me the power of large event risk management – you’ve got to see the storm coming and steer clear before it hits.

Crowd Management at Sporting Events: Reading the Room

Crowd management at sporting events is like reading a room full of excitable, unpredictable people. Fans are riding an emotional rollercoaster, and one spark – a bad call, a big win – can set off a chain reaction. My job is to make game day crowd control feel seamless, so fans don’t notice the safety net. It’s a balancing act: too much security feels oppressive, but too little invites trouble.

At a football match in a lively coastal town, I saw managing large crowds at events in action. We set up stadium safety protocols with clear entry zones and AI tools to track crowd density, dodging bottlenecks before they formed. It reminded me of what went wrong at the 2021 Astro world Festival, where poor crowd control turned deadly. Our event security strategies kept the focus on the game, not the logistics.

I’m a big believer in training. Security teams need to handle everything from drunk fans to serious threats. That’s why I push for law enforcement at sports venues to work hand-in-hand with private security. Their presence alone calms things down, but it’s their knack for defusing tension – maybe with a quick joke or a kind word – that really keeps the peace.

65/100 days of productivity

I've been feeling really low lately. I know I need to put more effort into things that are good for my mental health, but it's a little hard to do when my energy is at an all-time low. Still, I'm going to try to get better. I did try to catch up on Japanese and played some board games with friends.

was anyone going to tell me hans actually greets you in the morning if you sleep over at his poaching camp, or was i just going to have to find that out myself in my third playthrough

[elene78-blog]

A player just lost his grandmother/mother/father/brother/pet:

"So you're taking the day off? Why? You're not going to revive anyone by standing there moping, you know that. Instead, pick up your racket and honor their life by crossing the court and breaking your own record… but don't cry. You won't be able to see anything with your helmet on, and you might injure someone if you keep crying like that, and what are we going to do about someone injured and a crybaby starting the next game? Wipe your face and show some presence. Oh… And I'm sorry, I guess."

Kevin Day after HR tells him he needs to be more considerate of his team members.
