also. something about palpatine being so adept at seeing into the future that all of his successes feel completely joyless by the time he achieves them because he’s just going through the motions… how fucked up and nihilistic and brutal that would make you…
2003 Donatello meeting the other various TMNT iterations and they all think he's just a level-headed Smart Guy with a quiet disposition and a tendency to snark from the sidelines, but then he pulls off some Fuckshit at random and scares the bejeezus out of everyone else and they're like "ah yes, that's the true Donatello Spirit, sorry for assuming otherwise"
He also tells his Raph to shut the hell up for some reason or other and gets absolutely 0 reaction, which also gets the other turtles like ???
all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults
you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something
pov: you are Lewis Hamilton on the streets of London 2017, and a blonde menace you haven't seen since Abu Dhabi 2016 and then a gala in 2017 jan starts running after you. (you guys live in the same building btw) WDYD?
becoming largely chill about most things. but i give myself permission to be mad about car infrastructure, car dependence, and cars flagrantly ignoring pedestrian right-of-way and generally endangering beings of flesh. because this is one of the few truly moral axis of this world
ive been sitting on this one for awhile but any thoughts on motorcyclist hazel? first of all in a normie au its 👌👌👌 ofc but in general she and arion are bffs but he cant be around ALL the time. and she's definitely a horse girl always BUT she's gotta feed that speed demon inside of her yknow? i just feel like hazel deserves a bike.
YES!!!!! especially in a modern au because she's an adrenaline junkie!!!! she'd be crazy enough to learn tricks and stuff too. she and nico could figure out if you could shadowtravel a moving bike and keep driving on the other side and similarly awful ideas. from her rides with arion we know she feels basically invulnerable when she's going that fast so i think similarly on a bike she'd be almost too powerful. frank gets duped into riding in the sidecar once and is traumatized forever.
