DEEPLY obsessed with the ‘anomalies’ snippets you’ve posted so far but i simply must know more about ‘saint jimmy’ <3

anomalies is so fun. probably will be done very soon, it's mostly written! i just need to decide if it's gonna have a tasteful fade to black or—well, you know. here's a saint jimmy snippet:

“For crying out loud,” Jimmy says, and he seizes Dean by the shoulder and kisses him hard on the mouth. Dean lets him. Then he pulls back, blinking in surprise. “Uh,” he says. Clears his throat. “Um, Jimmy, man—” “Still not in love with you,” Jimmy reminds him. He wipes at his mouth with the back of one hand. “But I told you before. Castiel bleeds into me. I know what he wants—I feel it deep. There’s an ache all the way in the center of us. Having you—” and here he pauses, to take a deep breath— “would feel so, so good.”

yall remember that crippling fear I had back in october 2024 of me choking to death on my hyoid in my sleep when it first started coming loose to the point where I didn't want to go to sleep? yeah turns out that was justified after all

i always thought it would be funny/kinda assumed that if nbc!ted's whole function (fanon wise, even if not originally) is that he's kind of ted but the opposite, somewhat led tasso adjacent and loud/obnoxious in the rude way, that it'd make sense/be funny if similarly, hypothetically nbc!trent was also somewhat s1 trent's opposite, such as being openly/outwardly more shy quiet than aloof quiet

So rn I'm working on my fic about my AU where Ambrosius didn't grow up in the Institution and I'm nearing my boys' villain arc. I was gonna go ahead and have them change their name to Blackheart like in the canon, but then I realized something.

Ballister, in the comic, presumably came up with that name on his own when he was in his peak edgelord moment after Ambrosius betrayed him. If Ambrosius did not betray him and was going through a villain arc alongside him, as is the case in my AU, would he still have chosen that name? Or rather,

wanted to just ramble on about bayverse 2: electric boogaloo for a minute because it actually has a pretty good plot (buried under some questionable directing and writing) that i don’t think we often get much of in terms of tmnt plot.

and that’s the whole purple ooze situation they’ve got going on. donnie discovers this chemical that could, in theory, turn them human. donnie shows this off to leo with upmost enthusiasm that he’s just gonna be like “omg yes gather everyone rn and inject that shit into me YESTERDAY” because.. yknow. they’re mutants. they live in a sewer. away from society. this is their big chance to get away from all of that and live an actual “normal” life.

but leo is very quickly against that. he’s dismissive (because bayverse leo is moody dialled to eleven) and as soon as he’s aware of what donnie has here, he almost instantly instructs him to keep this a secret from raph and mikey. because he knows the ramifications of them finding out about this.

and of course mikey and raph find out and are understandably pissed (the scene where raph really strongly sticks up for mike fighting for his right to have a vote really strikes me - it’s almost like he actually cares more about it being held a secret from mikey than it is from him and that highlights how much he knows it means to his little brother. raph is a good egg) and then for a good chunk of the movie we have leo + donnie and mikey + raph kinda just.. doing their own thing.

and usually tmnt will give us the traditional A Team vs B Team which consists of leo + raph (usually for the whole bickering/arguing/coming together tie in) and then mikey and donnie just doing whatever. (not saying that sometimes they feel like props but. sometimes they do feel like props)

but i think the movie actually benefitted from splitting the team up differently here. we get a whole other dynamic that we’d usually see in perhaps a handful of episodes in some of the shows (my mind goes back to the leatherhead ep from 2k12 when we get a leo + raph + donnie team up mission without mikey and donnie is therefore instantly reduced to the little brother of the group and i LOVED that. i wish we got more of that because that particular dynamic was really fun to watch)

and this switch up especially makes a difference for poor donnie who wasn’t really totally on leo’s side, mostly because he too wanted to use the ooze, but kinda just got roped into being on his side without really a choice kinda like he’s the unfortunate child of divorce caught in the crossfire lol

but it’s also interesting that raph would have wanted to make the change when presented with the opportunity. in other iterations, it’s heavily implied that he’s somewhat content with the life he has. he enjoys his undercover lifestyle and he’s not really fond of humans in the same with his brothers are. (cue 2k12 raph scoffing “ugh. humans are so annoying” like he doesn’t have 2 that’re his friends lol)

but mike and don? fascinated by the human world. they crave a reality where they can just walk about amongst humans and live like them. even in the idw power rangers crossover issue where they use clocking broaches, it’s leo and raph who are somewhat anxious about the whole thing where mikey and don are instant game.

so to have raph part of this as well as the other two is really interesting. and whether that was just included in the plot to give him some reason to be fighting against leo, that’s neither here nor there. raph wants that too, for himself and for his brothers too. i think that if mikey and donnie weren’t on board with it, raph wouldn’t be either. he’d go along with being human if it meant making his little brothers happy — if it meant living a better life with them instead of being stuck underground without them. whereas it’s just leo who is reluctant. whether it’s a fear or the unknown or change or whether he’s just so okay with where his is.. he’s the only one that doesn’t think it’s a good idea. and as a result, he takes away the others choice which of course kicks off that whole plot line.

and it looks like mutant mayhem will touch upon this (this time it looks like all of them want in on being part of the human world) and i think that it’s just a really interesting plot point part of the tmnt franchise. being mutants and living in a sewer is all they know, but catching glimpses of a life they could have but can’t have? especially at an age where you’re trying to discover yourself and find who you are? i just hope this new movie pulls it off well if not as well as i think the bayverse movies touched upon it.

lo- wait. what

US President Donald Trump has slashed funding to multiple media organisations including Voice of America, Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe, in another round of funding cuts one critic labelled "reckless and haphazard".

As details of impact of the funding reductions continue to emerge, nearly 1300 VOA staff have been placed on "leave" and one US Congress representative warned the move would be detrimental to US influence in authoritarian-ruled countries.[...]

That included the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which houses Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia and Radio Marti.

USAGM employed roughly 3,500 people and had an $US886 million budget in 2024, according to the agency's latest report to Congress.
