Kay so if anyone wants the low down on power ring lady ep. Main villains and divorced married couple shredder and krang are doing their whole bitchy whose evil plan do we do today thing when krangs ex shows up. Her name is shreeka btw. And she wants her ring back from him and is keeping the henchmen (slash children of divorce) hostage. And krang takes the ring out his chest compartment (hes brain in a robot body, but not how u think) and its in a little blue box and everything. and gives it to shredder. who loves the new power ring. but psych theyre gonna give the ring to their enemies to get shreeka to go after then and also hopefully lose there henchmen/children. (broken family 😔)
anyway the rest of the plot happens with shreeka's day out hanging out with. the henchmen. they go shopping (rob a jewelry store). find the heros. grab the ring. and fight until leo (leader turtle), spears a hot coal on his katana like its a marshmallow, and flings that at shreeka. who catches it. in her hand. but its okay her hands are impervious to fire. but the ring isnt. points out the mutant rhino one second before that clip happens. and one second after it raph (funny turtle) say thats why they call her that [shreeka] (for shrieking...)
I don't believe I've written this dynamic before, but the woobie at the center of my WIP is a complete clotheshorse and his wife is a fantastic embroiderer, and it is such fun.
as much as I love having the best outfits in the office, next time that I show up in a nice button up and slacks and they're all in t-shirts I am going to jump out our fourth-story window.
Yeah sorry, I'm always going to want Jacob and Sam together, either by themselves or in a larger group. If we get a lot more promo next season then the show can mix it up a bit, but otherwise, let's keep them (or them with Delainey, which was adorable, as were Assad and Eric).
Ahah, I mean! Yeah! The interviews are definitely more fun when they're together, and it's kind of a funny thing, because I do think it's two-fold in the sense that their friendship is just genuinely such a delight to see, but also the fact that they've approached these characters, their relationship and the show broadly as a real creative collaboration makes the conversations they have just genuinely so interesting too. They're cute and fun and good at their jobs! And that just seems to come through.
I do love the full cast interviews a lot too though, because they're all just delightfully talented people who are really thoughtful about their roles. I can't wait to see where they take them in s3!

BAIZHU
In the name of Rex Lapis, if that man overworked himself one more time you would force him into paid vacation.
This was not the first time Baizhu had collapsed at work, and certainly would not be the last. With his condition, of course it would happen, that in itself wasn't what bothered you -- it was the fact that, despite being perfectly able to keep track of his symptoms and react accordingly, your much beloved partner always insisted on continuing his work.
"You know," you hummed, hauling him gently off the floor, "if you wanted to see me home early so badly, you didn't need to go to all these lengths."
Baizhu managed a smile and a light huff in recognition. "You know I would spare you the trouble if I could."
"Trouble? Taking care of you is nothing but a pleasure." Baizhu's bed, thankfully, was not far away, and you sat him upright on the mattress, checking his breathing and heartbeat for any irregularities. Fortunately, you didn't find any, so you gave Baizhu the OK to start work again -- SLOWLY -- along with a soft kiss on his head.
"Thank you," Baizhu called before you left, "for not making me feel like a burden."
"Are you kidding? Getting to see your gorgeous face every day is a blessing from the archons themselves."
Though you had your back turned, you could feel his blush, from all the way across the room.
CHILDE
"Can't keep up?" came the ever-familiar sneer from a few feet away. You sprung back up to your feet and leveled your daggers at Childe, who insisted on sparring every weekend as a "couple's bonding activity." You weren't sure if he liked showing off or getting rough better.
"You wish," you shot back, and within the blink of an eye you were on him. With one knife just grazing his jugular and the other tossed aside to pin his arms behind his back, you sneered back at him. "What's the matter big boy, cat got your tongue?"
For half a second, you could see your boyfriend's thought process stop abruptly. His eyes widened and his mouth parted, light traces of the start of a blush making itself clear across his freckle-covered cheeks.
And then he was back to his usual self. "Okay, you win!" he dropped the spear he'd been using, raising his arms up in a surrender motion and backing a few steps away.
"I swear, you get me every time when you talk like that..."
XIAO
As much as Xiao loved you, he sure didn't visit you very often. It wasn't intentional or anything -- he was just new to the whole relationship thing, and he wasn't exactly the best at, well, quality time.
So, naturally, you put on your best outfit, made sure you were looking snazzy, and went to wait for him at the Wangshu Inn. Verr Goldet recognized you as soon as you walked in and let you upstairs. Now all there was left to do was wait.
Xiao's room wasn't much, honestly; a bed mostly for you and a dresser and a rug was all that was anything close to decoration. You recognized a vase of qingxin flowers, a gift from you a few months ago, now sitting on the windowsill and wilting despondently.
"Who let you in here?"
Xiao had appeared in the doorway, silhouette illuminated by the light in the hallway.
"What do you mean who let me in here? Verr Goldet did, of course. And besides," you said, making your way over to him and taking his face in your hands, "you owe me some time together. With the way you've been avoiding me you'd think you didn't want me anymore~!"
Xiao looked back at you, horrified, as you laughed lightly.
"Only joking, dear. But really, we have some catching up to do."
ZHONGLI
If you had told any of the adepti a century ago that in a hundred years the venerable Rex Lapis would be seen in human form wandering the harbor with a silver-tongued partner, they would have reacted one of two ways, depending on the adeptus.
"Absolutely not, no way in hell," or "Archons, that's a relief. He needs a break."
He did, of course, need a break. And that's where you came in. Because after centuries of violence and upholding peace over an entire region, anyone would get tired and want to settle down. And though that's exactly what Zhongli did, he would occasionally feel the need to continue on with work at the funeral parlor long past overtime.
"Aw, and leave me all alone to watch the ships tonight? I really thought our little tradition meant something to you," you would pout, giving him a hopeful glance. Zhongli, of course, knew exactly what you were playing at.
"Well, alright. I suppose I can spend a few hours with you tonight." Your persuasion and good nature was always exactly what he needed to make sure he was taking enough care of himself and you.
Can we talk about the uncanny similarities between Alexander Hamilton, Timothée Chalamet and the story of his latest character, Willy Wonka?

A fun piece that took me WAY too long to complete!
I wanted to draw out the Z stacks for my humanoid au and do something fun with the outfits and the posing. I almost always draw them in some form of work uniform or in their formal gear and while that's pretty accurate for most situations they also have non work good clothes, of course in shades of Zero Marine Bigg City approved browns and blacks.
I also wanted to highlight more personal styles with them as well as keeping the context of the 1920s in mind! I also gave them all weapons for fun!
Zip has a VERY stylish youthful way of dressing for the 1920s, his bow tie would be seen as rather formal in contrast to his outfit which would be very youthful and in matching, shorts don't match with sweaters, boots don't match short sleeves, young men often dressed 'eclectically' to 'stand out'. Zip Carries a rather standard hunting rifle, he doesn't much like to use it, but it lets him stay away from danger while protecting himself. He's a small guy and doesn't like to be in the action, the gun lets him keep his distance, and he quite likes that. He does know how to use it and will if necessary.
Zug wears a pretty average day suit, it's pants cut is a little big and the coat is a sport cut, he'd been seen as basically a lousy dresser, sorta like a used car sales man. Zug carries a Tommy Gun, he's a small guy and it gets the job done.
Zorran dresses in a modern for the time business suit, the cut is straight on the pants and jacket and the bi coloured pants and jacket would be seen as a more relaxed choice and he's forgone the vest of old. Winged saddle shoes complete the look, he would be a snazzy dresser in the eclectic sense like Zip. Zorran is a resourceful man and will fight with anything at hand, but a good old fashioned lead pipe is easy enough to carry and conceal and even easier to ditch without suspicion
Zebedee forgoes convention, instead going for comfort and a relaxed fit. The Zoot Suit is still two decades out but the smoking suit is making its debut, considered a wasteful use of fabric Zebedee is on the cutting edge of fashion, even if he just wanted something comfortable. He is a fan of brass knuckles, if he has to fight he'd rather brawl fair and square
Zak, like Zorran, forgoes a piece of the standard business suit, However his piece of choice is the Vest, which sets him firmly into casual. With a dark grey shirt and matching tie, pants, hat and shoes, Zak is scrubbing against the grain of fashion conventions of the time, Zak would be kicked out of a fancy restaurant on sight in such an outfit. Zak keeps a switch blade on him at all times, he's a big fan of stiletto style knives, they make quick work of any target
Zaffre opts to forgo feminine dress but doesn't abandon women's wear. The Blazer is in its second decade as women wear, note the lack of collar notches on the blazer and the single button, and the loose fitting light fabric pants are the trend with young flappers for day wear. Her shirt and tie are what step back into men's wear but are not unheard of anymore. She's young and a great example of a second generation suffragette, the right to vote is just the first step, you know. Zaffre hasn't opted for any weapons yet, the hat pins and batons of days past are not needed when you are ready and willing to beat someone to death with your bare hands. Maybe she'll find something someday
Also have a high chart because I am terrible at drawing them to scale, by 1920s average heights they are all pretty average, Zug and Zaff being extreme but not unheard of, by today's average heights literally all of them are average and below with Zug being unheard of as a 'normal' hight
