#god I already couldn't wait for this episode but now I will be in Agony until I can watch it

[katara-stan-club]

So my mom and I were talking about the upcoming tbb episode on our video chat today, and she hasn't read The Dark Disciple/seen most of Clone Wars since it aired, so I was explaining some of the Nightsister magic and who Quinlan Vos is to give her some context for potential theories. As I was telling her about Quinlan's psychometry, I was describing how it works and I got hit with the terrible/brilliant thought:

The batch has Tech's goggles from when he fell.

If who Fennec was contacting was Quinlan Vos undercover as a bounty hunter to try and rescue other Jedi/force users as he establishes The Path, he could find the batch and tell them about the m-count stuff, but. He has psychometry. And Tech's goggles are Right There. He could find out what actually happened and tell them.

Anyways, I'm gonna go chew some drywall and try not to let this thought consume my every waking moment until 3 AM on Wednesday as if that'll stop me

I just realized that I'm almost done with Season 3 already, huh.

Oh, starting with Raph having the brain damage this time? Oh he's been kidnapped. Is he in Saw? THEY'RE COOKING HIM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH THIS IS A SAW EPISODE ISN'T IT WHYYYYYYYYY ARE THERE SO MANY HORROR INSPIRED EPISODESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh god Raph still had Brain Worm Juice in his blood?

Lol everyone was waiting for it to explode

DONNIE IT'S OKAY SWEETIE IT'S OKAY DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP

Awwwww Splinter, thank you for being understanding an patient with Donnie. That was nice, "At least I have four wonderful sons." Good Parenting Moment, Splinter

UM LEO?!?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DO- TRY HARDER?!?!?!?!?! YES DONNIE SHOUT HIS ASS DOWN

YEAH LEO YOU'RE THE LEADER YOU FIND THE ANSWER DONNIE MAY AS WELL BE THE FUCKING LEADER WITH HOW EVERYONE'S ALWAYS LOOKING TO HIM FOR ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS ALL THE TIME

Donnie should get to run away, I think. Let Donnie quit the team for once. Let him run away and make some other friends for a bit. Engage in some teen rebellion. This is why my OC for this show befriends Donnie and he becomes second-in-command of her Mutant Rights Activist Group (they're trying to force New York to acknowledge Mutants as citizens openly, Donnie really believes in the cause but Splinter and his brothers are afraid it'll bring the heat down on them and want the whole group to stop, Donnie can't believe it and leaves to full-time help with the protests)

Aw, he calmed down for April. ... I don't trust April's call, something's wrong

HE DID RUN AWAY YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY HE DITCHED THEM

An effective team thinks as one, you mean Make One Do The Team Thinking

Oh yeah, that was a Kraang clone, wasn't it? Poor Donnie...

PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT SPLINTER HAS A GIANT RAT WHEEL, I WANNA BELIEVE THEY STOLE IT FROM SHREDDER

If those fuckin' magic scrolls cure her I'll be so pissed.

ICE CREAM KITTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OH THEY'RE PLAYING POKEMON YAYYYYY AWWWWWWW SHE WONNNNNNNN NO MIKEY LEAVE HER ALONE

Oh no, whatever got Donnie is using him too! Is it mind control or cloning?

Oh god, Mikey was poisoned!!!!!!!! NO THEY GOT MURIKAMI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO NOT MURIKAMIIIIIIIIIIIII

Yeah exactly it's a fuckin' tra- guys maybe call Casey? Clearly Casey hasn't been targeted by whoever this is, so he's your Ace In The Hole. They won't expect him. I miss Casey.

LOL KARAI USED DONNIE'S VOICE FOR THE THING SORRY THAT'S HILARIOUS BECAUSE I IMAGINED SHE JUST FORGOT TO TURN THE VOICE MODULATOR OFF AND WENT "Gah, that ruined it" IN HER HEAD

Okay so are Donnie and Mikey Brain-Wormed, then? No, those were holograms, okay.

Yeah, I'm bored of The Foot. I want The Kraang back. They were a lot of fun.

OH SHIT SHE BROKE BEEBOP'S NOSE YES GO APRIL LOVE YOU

OH NOOOO WE'RE BACK TO RAPH BEING COOKED shit she even said it's a game, it's Saw for real- WHATTTTTT DO THEY HAVE HOOKED UP TO DONNIE'S HEAD

Pfffft "Bake my foot up your ass"

This is lame. This is a lame episode now. ... They trapped Donnie in Tetris? OH FUCK THEY STRAPPED HIM TO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR SHIT

AGAIN HIS BRAIN IS GETTING MESSED WITH FOR FUCK'S SAKE STOP MESSING WITH HSI BRAIN HE NEEDS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mikey one doesn't work for me. A mutagen one would fit Donnie better, given his fears of being a freak. I think Mikey's trap would be better served as a threat of immobility, like he's weighed down in some way or otherwise unable to move his limbs, or maybe a threat of if he doesn't get out they'll make him unable to ever speak again. But the mutagen just feels kinda... "Oh we couldn't think of a thematic thing for him" cop out.

ROCKSTEADY I LOVE YOU

God this Karai Villain shit is stale. Ah, return of The Cheese Phone.

FUCK DONNIE GOT SHOCKED AGAIN GEEZ HE AND RAPH HAVE IT THE WORST RIGHT NOW I THINK THEY'RE BOTH ACTIVELY BEING HARMED THE MOST

FUCK 'EM UP SPLINTER WHOO

Are you... shitting me, Leonardo? Raph asks you what to do and you immediately pass it on to Donnie? Whom you can hear screaming in agony in the room next to you? Whom you just got into a fight with because you won't stop pressuring him? You pass along the buck? This is why you feel like being a Leader doesn't mean anything sometimes, Leonardo, because you aren't one.

Sorry sorry, Mikey is afraid he'll... mutate into himself but a girl? What kinda transphobic nonsense are the writers on right now? Unless he's already FTM, in which case yeah valid fear.

GET FUCKED BRADFORD

Hey finally Xever uses being a fish to his adva- SPLINTER KILLED HIM

Tigerclaw... why do you want Splinter to pay? What is your stake in this?

RAPHHHHHHHHH HE'S DYING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OH NO BLOB OF MUTAGEN OVER MIKEY NOOOO FUCK DONNIE IS STILL BEING SHOCKED

AND ONCE A-FUCKING-AGAIN DONNIE SOLVES THE FUCKING PROBLEM AND LEO JUST GOES ALONG BECAUSE DONNIE'S THE REAL GLUE KEEPING THE TEAM TOGETHER HERE

Raph... oh he's gonna be so sick and fragile for so long after this...

GOD DONNIE'S ONE IS SO FUCKED UP

OH SHIT MIKEY TO THE RESCUE- DUDE HE ENTERED THE SIMULATION?!?!?!?!? MAGIC FUCKING MIKEY DUDES

B-TEAM FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR B-TEAM FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Sometimes Splinter makes Sonic Adventure 2 Eggman noises.

THIS MAGIC SHIT BETTER NOT FUCKING WORK OR I'LL BE SO PISSED- GOOD IT DIDN'T WORK- NOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK IT DIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Well there she goes again. down one of the giant toilets. This is getting real old, dudes. Just let her go home with them, for fuck's sake, I'm so tired of this. It's a sweet moment here but I'm tired.

Okay OH FUCK EW EW EW HER VOMITING IT UP EW

Theo knows it was not a dream!!! Plus so much food for the Theo-is-Enchanté theory in this one wth???

So many slo-mos, are they trying to kill me??? I am fresh out of oxygen after all this and now they're stuck on an elevator and I legit cheered at that xDDD

The number of times I shouted at my screen today, because *gestures wildly* THEM(TM)!!?!

And we finally found out Wayo's stakes in pretending to be Enchanté, pah, dude, not cool ��

Love how Theo just straight-up rejects all of them left and right now, like he's sick of pretending too and just wants his Akk already 😏😌

"Why don't you finish what you started?" - Theo, who couldn't be happier that he didn't just dream up that kiss and that Akk stole the rose and that it's so very clear that Akk likes him aka Please End My Agony You Two?!???

So many moments where they're waiting for the other to just say it?? Come on, they know! They both know at this point, ffs, please??? 😭

Akk drinking more in the hopes of gaining liquid courage 🥺

"Do you even know what you're saying? Tell me then what people want to do to each other when they say je t'aime" AND AKK'S ANSWER akrjdkqkfjs
