Pantalone: I can‘t believe I let myself get tricked into buying fake gemstones from those merchants..
Dottore: It‘s okay Pantalone! I‘ll get you some authentic gemstones.
Pierro: I wouldn‘t promise that if I were you. You have no idea where to find gemstones, do you?
Dottore:
Dottore: um, but first I‘ll track down those merchants and get you your money back!
Crucabena: I don‘t think you have any idea where to find those merchants, either.

more of my oc tervis (any pronouns), the creepiest most miserable little weirdo in town. which is saying something [id under cut]
/ ID: four digital drawings.
The first image is a series of drawings of Tervis on a paper-textured background. A heading at the top reads 'Tervis (Humble)'. One is a coloured headshot of Tervis looking to the left; they have a gaunt face, short receding hair, a scar bisecting their lip and right eyebrow, greyish skin, and are wearing a red shawl around their neck. An arrow pointing at their right eye reads 'one blue eye (mostly blind)'; another arrow pointing at their left eye reads 'one brown eye'. They have a serious, hostile expression. The second drawing is an uncoloured full-body sketch of Tervis. Next to this is the same drawing but coloured and with more polished lineart. Tervis is a thin, hunched figure wearing a long, dark brown robe, a greyish bag on their back, and a red shawl around their head and neck. They are barefoot, and are leaning on a walking staff with both hands. An arrow pointing to the walking staff reads 'needed for walking, useful for hitting'. Tied to the belt around their waist are several long scrolls of paper with writing on them. An arrow pointing to the scrolls reads ''blessings' they paste on infected houses'. Tervis is looking warily out at the viewer from beneath their eyebrows. An arrow pointing to their head reads 'scar from getting hit in the face with a brick (also knocked out a tooth)'. Alongside these drawings are a series of bullet points giving information about Tervis. These read:
indeterminate age, indeterminate gender
religious fanatic (unclear which religion)
lives alone somewhere in the steppe
dislikes everyone but is nicer to children than anyone else
has every disease
The second image is a fake screenshot from the video game Pathologic. Tervis is looking out at the viewer; the background shows scenery from the steppe. The text on screen reads:
CHANGELING: I still don’t see what you could have done that would make you personally responsible for this plague.
TERVIS: Responsible… no, not merely responsible! This is my plague, cast upon my head alone. I am the originator; my sin is at the root of all. I have ventured into the town. I have seen the canker there. No matter how many houses I bless, my sickness sinks deeper. The rotted limb is the death of the body… Surely you understand me. You are a healer, are you not?
CHANGELING: What is it that you are asking me to do?
TERVIS: Let me be the lamb, worker of miracles! My blood shall wet the earth, and bright flowers shall grow… My putrefaction will provide the soil within which new life will burgeon, pure and free of sin and decay. Let it be done. I am ready. My failing flesh is but little sacrifice; in death my weakness will be my strength. Soon these torments will be at an end.
Below are two dialogue options:
You’re insane!
What makes you so sure your death would solve anything?
The third image is a fake screenshot from the video game Pathologic 2. Tervis is looking out at the viewer, and has been painted in semi-realistic style. The text on screen reads:
Tervis: Why do you force me to live? Damn you! Your cure is poison to me. Now I shall never be blessed. You should have left me to bleed.
Below are three dialogue options:
Don’t be absurd. I wasn’t going to watch you die.
What makes you think you deserve suffering?
I wish I had.
At the bottom of the image is a line of dialogue which Tervis has just spoken:
The air is foul. There is rot in this place. The stench of corruption shall be – what was it? What was it? The stench of corruption shall be… swept aside…
The fourth image is a coloured scene depicting Tervis and Clara. They are central in the composition; around them is the steppe, which has been rendered in a loose, painterly style. Tervis is kneeling, their walking staff cast aside, and are reaching out their hands to Clara in a desperate, pleading gesture. They are crying, their face contorted in an expression of agonised ecstasy. Clara stands beside them, one hand reaching out, the other held above Tervis’s head as though about to touch their brow. She has a solemn, pained expression. Behind her head, a break in the dark clouds gives the impression that she is haloed by sunlight; rays of the same light fall onto Tervis, illuminating their face and red robe. End ID. /

The only thing keeping me from being 100% sure that any of the 4 main TSV cast will die (aside from wishful thinking) is the commentary from episode 40 where Jon Ware says that vulnerable moments are tricky because people assume they're death flags. So, ya, maybe I SHOULD stop seeing death flags in moments that are just moments but also you have these things just hanging over characters like hey, Hayward, what is the opposite of a sacrifice, huh? Gonna share with the class? Oh you'll share when you next see Paige, huh? Cool, cool. Btw Paige if you see your friends again there will be no comfort like, WHAT

i fear the rottmnt fandom is sansing leo’s character
doinky rant in tags too:
i fear some ppl in this fandom over exaggerate Leo’s insecurities
bc let’s get some things straight
he’s an arrogant, talented guy who is sometimes an idiot and excels in strategy (a real line he’s dancing with tbh)
he’s great at compensating for what raph lacks in terms of leading: strategy, trusting ppl (like the first time they were w big mama (but their skepticism varies from time to time like w Jupiter Jim)), plus his skillset in fighting is nuts!!
and vice versa: raph often lends an ear to the team upon realising his approaches to certain missions doesn’t work (something Leo doesn’t consider until towards the end of the movie when everyone puts their heads together to make a plan)
let’s get this, too:
while, yes, under the guise he puts up,
he’s just a confused teenager learning shit
and he uses his charm to put up a front that he knows what he’s doing because he’s scared and confused,,
i feel ppl aren’t using the fact that
LEO IS SILLY
HE IS A SILLY FACE MAN
and hey did u know u can make rottmnt angst without making baseless torture towards Leo 😃
