Random incorrect quote about the fic

April: Why and how is Raph a tot!?

Donnie: I might've accidentally turned him into a tot? He thought it was apple juice.

April: What- I'm not surprised, that's Raph. Also why are you guys so chill?

Leo: Relax, weird stuff happens all the time.

Mikey: Yeah, and Raph will be back to normal soon!

There’s a reason why we feel lonely even though we aren’t alone. It’s because loneliness is not about how many friends we have or how many people are in the room with us. It’s a disconnection from others. Being social doesn’t cure loneliness, loneliness comes when there is not a single person close enough to see past the illusion to who we really are and what we really feel inside.

Type of guy who heard "sissification" and assumed it was spelled "sisyphication" so he thinks it means rolling boulders up hills for kink reasons.

in my opinion, many modern greek retellings/stories inspired by greek mythology don't fail because they're inaccurate. they fail because they have nothing new to say.

i don't mind changes to the original myths, as long as they make sense and they have a narrative purpose! i understand that making changes is sometimes necessary to convey a certain narrative, especially to modern audiences.

is epic the musical mythologically accurate? hell no! but the changes serve to tell a specific story and to convey a certain message. also, epic the musical is self aware about its "inaccuracies". and the music just bangs.

is hadestown accurate? no! does it make the change that I always dread, removing the kidnapping from the hades/persephone myth? yeah. but hadestown is barely about them, and it uses greek mythology as a "narrative frame" to tell a certain story. it has a point. it has a message.

what are stories like lore olympus trying to say? what is the messagge of the hundredth persephone/hades retelling? what are we supposed to take from them? "don't listen to your mother she's a bitch"? "mothers are irrational and you should forsake her for a man"? very feminist.

why are we still doing the medusa "feminist" retellings? it's BEEN done. too many times. and they're ALL the same. it's a worse crime than being bad: they are boring.

i'm tired of retellings that are just "what if this very famous story was THE OPPOSITE and the protagonist was an ASSHOLE the whole time and the villain was MISUNDERSTOOD and the real VICTIM" okay but why. why would that be the case. what's the point of the story you want to tell. or do you just want to use shock value.

of course, i dislike retellings that are so different from the myth that they go AGAINST the spirit/message of the original, because in that case what's even the point of retelling the myth? just tell an original story. but i would take stabbed poseidon and capitalist hades any day over the same basic story of medusa being a girlboss or demeter being bad because of... reasons?

tl;dr: stop being unoriginal and tell a good story. or at least an entertaining one. i beg you

Why would I care if other people my age are dating? Other people my age are in jail.

Stop pushing your heteronormative ideals on me, I just want to watch silly cartoons and cuddle with my cats.

Trump saying today, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" is very scary. These are the words echoed by Napoleon, a man who decided himself emperor and ended democracy.

This is not only an admission of himself violating law it is also him stating an ends justify the means mentality. The mindset is also used in dictators, cults and simply evil psychopaths.

If you are someone who is not politically active I beg you to please please please start being involved.

This does not mean simply look at politics online, you need to find local political groups and join them, go to meetings! Go find local protests. And start learning! No lil shorts, watch full length political exploration and history video.

I know times are hard and time is a valuable resource but we simply cannot stand by as our future is stolen.

The reason Goncharov was fun and worked well is because Tumblr didn’t plan for it, we just “yes and” it, everyone went with it and added to it with no planning while TikTok people with Zepotha are trying to recreate that by deciding to start a trend and tell people this movie existed, there isn’t even much more than “you look like this character” and sometimes people saying it was actually them.

Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.

My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has been long forged through trial & tribulation.

I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me.

I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.

It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.

tbh I love that Sublime exists.

I'm not familiar enough with her character yet to know how much I like her herself (though I think she had a solid introduction! I like her so far!) but mostly I love the role that she is filling. I love the disability representation, I love that Adrien made a new friend that he silently goes on runs with and shares classes w that he doesn't share with Marinette, I love that Marinette has someone that she can feel threatened by in her relationship, I love seeing Marinette navigate her jealous feelings but with all the character development that came before it (she has learned that hating someone due to jealousy is bad and that she can't judge someone solely for being close to Adrien. She's doing what she wishes she'd done with Kagami to begin with — try to be her friend — but all the while she's struggling with the fact she still feels jealous, even if she won't admit it. That's good character development! Marinette can't turn off her feelings, but she can react to her feelings in different ways! That's what she's doing!). It's nice to have a "love rival" (sort of) who isn't an antagonist (like chloe and lila were) other than kagami (who is now taken and poses no threat). It's nice for Adrien to have a friend that he made on his own! She's basically re-filling the role that Kagami left behind, which is great imo, because it was an important role! Also, I'm so curious to see whatever is going on with her involvement with Tomoe. And I love that she's there to flesh out their new school! The show is kind of starved for civilian characters atm asfhasjklsaj

BREAKING NEWS! Youngest Wayne's Secret Lovechild?!

Teenage Ellie taking care of deaged Danny and moving to Gotham to hide from Vlad because Lady Gotham offered them sanctuary and will keep Vlad out.

BUT

Chaos is set into motion when during a Rogue attack, Damian Wayne (not as Robin at the moment) saves him and returns Danny to Ellie...

The internet/news happen because of course it did.

And people mistake Danny as his kid and Ellie his baby mama.

Common misconceptions about proshipping:

Proship means "problematic shipping"

All proshippers shipp something

All proshipper spaces are NSFW

All proshippers cope using proshipping

All proshippers enjoy all tropes

All proshippers are lolisho

To be a proshipper, you need to engage with and enjoy dark media

Proshipping is just a way to cope. People grow out of that

What really is true:

Proshipping always meant "pro—shipping"

Proshipping means being anti harassment

There are plenty SFW spaces for proshippers. Proshipping can not be summarized as simply being just r34 of south park

Not all proshippers use it as a way to cope with something. There are people that just believe that censoship over fiction content and harassment over it is unnecessary.

You don't need to like every trope and every ship to be a proshipper. You can like one, you can like two, you can like NONE! you just need to be respectful.

You don't need to be a lolishocon to be a proshipper.

You can be a proshipper and dislike incest/age gape. You are still a proshipper since you don't go to ppl that enjoy those things and starts harrasing them.

Proshipping is a belief that in fandom spaces, you are free to enjoy fiction that you or other ppl made without the fear of being doxed or getting rape/death threats from random strangers. Respect is the base.
