I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

the fact that my friend discovered she was demisexual and aromantic because she met me and i explained what those were is why its so important that aspec identities get talked about in the real world and not just online cause a lot of people just wont ever be in these spaces

users of this site (social media as a whole really) need to understand that just because a person is mutuals with someone DOES NOT automatically mean they're friends with them. or that they always agree with or condone the other's behavior. that's childish, middle school-esque logic if i'm bein honest.

Characters who have the luck of the devil on their side because they're just that damn charismatic vs those who have it because the universe just likes them that damn much.
This is about Moist vs Carrot from discworld btw

We all know my pinned post:
May I now present, a spectacle most of this evening in the making:
And if you can't pick between the brothers? Well, don't worry!
But wait, you didn't think I'd forget Candace, now did you?
"But Bex, I love ALL THREE OF THEM!" So does Perry, you just know he keeps this on his desk:
Did I reuse some photos here and there? Yes, yes I did. Some of them were too cute not to.
Feel free to use these as you please, I made them to be shared.
And ofc, a bonus, because I couldn't not make Stacy one:

In most falmer communities, it's standard to have a minimum of three names, often more. This is due in part to the nature of falmer language, which varies drastically from dialect to dialect and often has elements of spoken, vocalised, and tactile sign language combined into a single tongue, and so necessitates different modes of reference in different form. A name spoken aloud is obviously different to one signed on someone's skin, for example. The names an individual is referred to by may change based on whether they are present or their relationship to the speaker; an individual might also take on different names as they take on different roles throughout their life. Some names have hierarchical connotations or mark some specific life event; some hives use "secret" names, either given to an individual at birth or chosen at some coming-of-age milestone, that act as the core of that person's whole identity and whose secrecy provides protection, either emotionally, spiritually or magically. Secret names are usually verbal and are generally only known by very few others, if at all, and telling one's secret name can be seen as either a mark of great trust or a severe taboo. When members of the hive die, they may be given new names to mark their loss or else be stripped of their names entirely so as not to risk the identities of the living that may bear the same or similar names mingling with the dead.

Last July, I expressed interest in wanting to create arcade flyer-inspired character cards for the colorful cast of Rascal... and only ended up making one for the titular bunny boy. To make up for it, however, I think it's finally time to reveal Rascal's full cast...
... by way of a group shot and sprite showcase! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬

Small but significant character moments that I actually really adore are from both the times we see the boys as tots. There is a reoccurrence that happens in both of them that I find so incredibly interesting.
For the turtle tot short, Splinter leaves the boys with weapons. In the short, Raph is the one who suggests they do “what Lou Jitsu would do” and Leo is the one who takes point when Splinter comes back to reprimand them. Leo, in taking point, is the one to defend them and get Splinter off their tails.
And then, in the flashback regarding the Kuroi Yōroi helmet, Raph is the one who grabs and throws “Skully” as a way to replace their missing ball which breaks it into pieces, but Leo is the one who speaks for the group and rushes into action to fix the teapot.
I love this for multiple reasons, but the biggest are how it shows that Raph has always been inclined toward the bold and fun and making the plans to include his brothers in what he loves and believes they’d love, whereas Leo has always been inclined to be the “Face” of the group and shoulder the attention even if it’s potentially negative all while coming up with on the spot attempts to fix the situation.

i feel like a major difference between the US and UK ghosts is that the US one feels, idk how to put it, more focused on the fact that theyre ghosts? the world of it, the experiences, the ghosts that are outside of the main setting, their powers, their pasts, them wanting to move on... and the UK ghosts feels more like theyre just people from different backgrounds all stuck in a house with only one person who can see them, but all that other stuff was kinda barely a thing. they didnt even dwell very long on mary moving on as opposed to when the same thing happened with flower where they made a big deal out of it lol

smth i love abt the doa is how they're this threatening super strong organization, probably the biggest threat the main cast has faced so far in the entire story, and. they're like. actively falling apart in multiple ways at any given moment. no one in this group is loyal to anything or anyone. no coherence to any part of their plan. and still their threat is very real. literally so iconic

"i dunno, i don't think i have social anxiety or anything, i'm just awkward. like, i can do public speaking with no problem so long as i have a script, it's just that certain weird things make me nervous. it's fine, i just make it sound worse than it is when talking to my therapists." <=guy whose gut feelings are frequently convinced that basically everyone wants to beat him with hammers
