"This Whole Situation"
Rise Ramblings #1
So as you guys know, one occurring phrase in the show between the boys and April is “This whole situation.” Although vague, and used in many other contexts, sometimes the family uses the phrase to refer to their mutations.
However, once finishing the series it’s hard to miss that Donnie never says the phrase. Now, I could be wrong (and If I am, just comment and let me know!) but I have a theory as to why Donnie doesn’t say it…
Donnie never says “this whole situation” because in his mind, there IS no situation.
The Evidence:
I started noticing something interesting about Donnie’s state of mind about himself.
He never really expresses that he’s different from other people, he’s just…him. Obviously, he knows that he’s a mutant, but it’s not something at the front of his mind. I associate it to if someone has a certain attribute, that person is just that, a person first. I believe it’s the same for Donnie. He’s a person, that just so happens to be a mutant turtle, and I live for it.
What made me solidify my theory was the use of disguises in Rise, specifically the use of disguises in April’s school.
All of the boys have visited April’s school, and all of them decided to wear disguises, except Donnie.
He just shows up in his regular clothing. One could argue that the hoodie is his disguise, but then why did the rest of the boys wear actual (silly) disguises while our boy Donnie is just like, “Hoodie? Check.” And not only that, but for the whole episode, all eyes are on him, and he just. Doesn’t. Care. It’s glorious!
Later, in the episode Donnie vs. Witch Town, we see that Donnie showing up all willy-nilly pell-mell at April’s school was not a one-time thing. It’s literally been happening for years!
Therefore, I believe that canonically Donnie doesn’t care about “this whole situation.” And if someone does, as far as he’s concerned that’s their problem, not his.

I know there are a lot of people hoping that we get an Ed and Stede sex scene in Season 2, and while I’m all for it, all I really want is for them to take a nap together.
I don’t think either of these sad boys have been sleeping. Their circadian rhythms are jacked. Let them have their sleepy snuggles in their battle jackets.

Atsushi We Miss You
As we all mourn the tragic passing of the INCREDIBLE Atsushi Sakurai, I would like to honor him. Sadly I had made this magazine before his passing, and presented it almost in tears today in class, but it features Atsushi on the cover and a three spread article featuring Buck-Tick

((So I was messing around with my freecam and stumbled upon this cute interaction that I don't think you can see in the vanilla game? There's no animation to it so behold:
When the grenade is thrown into the barricade during the Final Chapter protest, Simon is off cam helping North! They just stand there while Markus rolls around on the ground before the scene cuts, but I thought it was cool nonetheless.
Josh can also be seen far off from the rest of them, struggling all on his own :< I still think it's cute that Simon seems to be helping North towards him though
Peek Markus rolling around in the bottom left
That's all! Just wanted to share))
