Fan Joy July, Day 1

it already started? Wow, okay, HORRAY (this feels like new years and I don’t know why)

anyways, for day one I am writing about @those-arent-poppies art

I really enjoyed Twilight’s facial expressions in this one, and Green on the last frame depicts the stress beautifully! I also love how you incorporated each Four’s (Ok that sounds off but what I mean by that is GRBV) chaos, and the personality in each of them along with it!

I hope you enjoy this fic as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Four is scared, and that’s an understatement. If he was honest, he was completely terrified. Or at least one part of him was.

Green dashed through the grass, searching for a familiar face. His eyes twitched, in need of the order that was precluded too early. 

“Hey!” Green stopped abruptly at the familiar voice, gasping for breath, he would never admit it, but running was harder with shorter legs. “You good?” He noticed that the voice was the ranchers, and he watched his eyes scan the tunic quizzically.

He had no time to explain, “Have you seen me?!” Green tried to ignore the fact that Twilight most likely had no possible clue on what he was talking about.

His thoughts were proven right at the other hero’s answer, “What?” He gestured towards his body, “I mean… I see you right now?” Okay, fine. Green really didn’t want to break the rancher’s brain today, they already had enough stupid people to deal with.

With an inward sigh, he waved his arms out, thinking that it would ‘get the point across’, “No, no. More of me! I split, and then they split, and now I don’t know where they went.” Sorry Twilight, maybe your brain does need to crack a little.

“And that’s a problem because..?” Green noticed the blank stare of his face. ‘When in doubt, dumb it down.’ A famous quote he created himself.

Okay, maybe Vio was the one who said it, but technically he did create it, they’re the same guy after all. 

“Alright. Three more. Exactly like me. Different color tunics…” He leaned in, knowing full well he looked like a crazy person, “They’re out for blood.” 

He could already hear the rough voice of Blue, arguing with probably, no offense Legend, the most arguable one he knew. He could feel Red’s impulsivity drive to chaotic actions, he wouldn’t be surprised if they just tied him to balloons and let him fly away, and then Vio… he just prayed that his calculated chaos won’t let anybody kill him. That’s the last thing he needed to deal with.

“Well,” Twilight placed an arm on his shoulder, “If they’re anything like you, they will be fine.” 

Green could only run his fingers through his hair, feeling himself go insane.

I love the new TMNT movie, and I’m currently on the first episode of Tales of the TMNT.

So far it’s great, but I just feel like this whole universe is a little off and I think I finally know why. There is barely any Japanese influence left. they took away all the Japanese influence Splinter had by making him a random New York rat, and left us with a rat who only learned Japanese fighting styles from tv. That’s the only connection to Japanese culture he has. This then bleeds into the turtles and it just really takes away from the Japanese American influence the turtles always had.

I mean, even in iterations where Splinter wasn’t Hamato Yoshi, he was always connected to him. In the original story and in the 2003 universe, Splinter had intimate ties with Japanese culture. Now, he just…doesn’t. And it just feels like the story would be a lot better and more succinct if he did. But hey, maybe they’ll add more to Splinter’s backstory in the next movie since they are introducing Shredder. I doubt it, but who knows.

Anyway, Idk if I’m the only person who thinks this, but it makes me sad

Y’all ever had a crush on a character from a source you’ve never seen or is that just me

girl who loves analyzing fighting styles and characters power levels vs mob psycho 100, an anime which doesn’t focus on the mechanics of its power system at all

it’s team dark week! but i’m unfortunately far too busy to properly participate, so all i have is my first ever attempt at drawing omega which i did in honour of the team dark week host themself, who is the greatest advocate for more omega fanwork and the reason i have extra appreciation for this angry murderous robot <3

You know my life loves to orbit around inconveniences and I think it would be so funny if Veilguard was released on September 13th because that’s my brother’s wedding which I’m being forced to go to (I don’t like my brother and have no desire to go)

such is the tale of a ✨chronically online hypocrite✨

I don’t think anything will come from this, but for your consideration, my latest brainrot:

A sort-of Grease!AU with Rose as Sandy and Blanche as Danny (or, even better, Rizzo).

That’s all. You can go.

sorry for being an anti-modern media curmudgeon on main but just something about the way there seems to be a popular public consensus to look down on low budget slasher films of the 70s & 80s followed by a shift now to turn the sequels into big budget blockbusters that flatten everything unique to the slasher genre so that they can make movies that are comfortable for them to make — movies that look the same, sound the same, feel the same as any other modern action movie. and then they reduce the terminology coined to describe slasher genre conventions into these over-simplistic concepts no longer grounded in any of the films but just pop culture imagination (i.e. “final girl” means whatever now basically lol) and apply them to the horror genre as a whole. and now everybody’s a fucking expert on classic slasher movies because they’ve seen scream. this is a dead dead dead dead genre and we’re just dragging the corpse around. shaking filmmakers by the shoulders why does your movie have a budget!!! where’s the innovation

I know there are many bad takes about Gale on this site, but the worst takes I’ve seen on another social media site in another language are much more abhorrent than anything here tbh, the recent one I’ve seen even gets some popularity among his “fans”... They were basically saying it’s Mystra who made him the humble man he is now, without her influence on him he would be as egotistical as in his god ending, and more than a hundred of reblogs are all thanking Mystra for “training her lapdog so well” for them🤢

Did we even play the same game? Isn’t his god ending a direct result of Mystra making him think he will never be enough as he is, and he can only find his self-worth through gaining more power? Didn’t Tara say he’s not himself anymore and she would no longer be his companion in his god ending, she knew him long before Mystra made him her chosen, he was powerful enough before his relationship with Mystra, if he’s anything like god!Gale at the time wouldn’t Tara just leave him? I’d imagine he would have been more confident and had a more stable self-image if Mystra had never contacted him, therefore he didn’t even need the Gale of Waterdeep persona. He would always have been Gale Dekarios in that timeline. And people glorifying Mystra’s grooming and abuse towards him and unironically calling him “her lapdog” is just... I have no words. But what do you expect from an online space that’s infested with terfs and radfems? They just won’t recognize or acknowledge any abuse from women towards men...

Finished my last ever final 😬

How Do I Love Thee?

-Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)

I cannot woo thee as the lion his mate,

With proud parade and fierce prestige of presence;

Nor thy fleet fancy may I captivate

With pastoral attitudes in flowery pleasance;

Nor will I kneeling court thee with sedate

And comfortable plans of husbandhood;

Nor file before thee as a candidate….

I cannot woo thee as a lover would.

~

To wrest thy hand from rivals, iron-gloved,

Or cheat them by a craft, I am not clever.

But I do love thee even as Shakespeare loved,

Most gently wild, and desperately for ever,

Full-hearted, grave, and manfully in vain,

With thought, high pain, and ever vaster pain.

The worst part about writing long aus is that you can’t infodump about it (without having to explain everything first so they get the context) unless you’re willing to make someone read 150k words
