I want you to tell ‘em that you love the way that they don’t stick out like sore middle fingers

[Continuation of this]

#TMNT 2012 #casey jones 2012 #raphael hamato #rasey #this is platonic again but I’m not against romantic subtext or whatever #when I was in school being able to do this with your hand was super cool and I often still do it with both #but I’ve met both adults and kids who’ve never seen it before and it freaks them out ahaha #anyway I was jus thinking of hands again and this is a warm up sketch #but i do think thee two would have heart to hearts on rooftops sometimes and really open up #maybe theyre sat next to eachother and raph looks at his thigh next to Casey’s and gets self conscious #maybe one of them was hurt in a fight (probably Casey) and theyre patching eachother up and they just start exploring their differences #or maybe its something as simple as raph asking casey if he was Tarzan and the scene with the hands and Casey’s like yo we can do that #or even more childish theyre just doing it to see who’s hands bigger because Casey’s sister has been doing it a lot and its fun #because let me tell you it doesnt matter how old the kids i work with are they all love comparing my hand with theirs #but i imagine Raphs eyes for a second would give away hes upset a little cause he’s definitely the most self conscience about being a mutant #so Casey would do this and be like ahh look see we arent that different really #raph could bend his fingers to emphasise how much shorter Casey’s are #and cause would say something like these digits might be small but theyre mighty #leading to a shove or even a thumb war or something #anyway ill stop gushing i have a comission to do xxx #OH OH OH THE BITE MARK ON CASEY IS BECAUSE A MUTUAL COMMENTS ABOUT EATING MY RASEY ART SO THATS THEIR TEETH but im not naming names....

Cap's got a new voice claim! feat. a tiny bit of Sparrows n her's unchanged vc because 1. it's cute to hear them together and 2. I snorted. The vibes are so different

[songs: So Familiar by Jean Castel and Driving Myself Home by Rose Betts]

#rw #oc tag #oc: caper of euros #oc: three sparrows #philosophy sessions au #ramble time. kai ninyago as Capie of Rossie wasn't Bad but i've been working on him lately- like looking into his faults their causes their #-evolution and what role he's supposed to play beyond Row's death (esp. in Preacher's life (Euros manages to be terrifying for the kid))#n i came to the conclusion that he didn't sound Sharp enough. and bratty but like in a teenager boy band kind of way. oh he'd hate that-#-kinda music </3 fuckin european posh kid #the ''tragedy'' of 'Ros on here is that back when i was answerin questions with the chars 'Ros n 'Row were constantly together and that-#-didn't allow them to really show who they are because they bring out the best in each other. Sparrows is braver with him having her back-#-and he's not a rude fucker (one of the reasons i turned off asks is cuz i figured they weren't actually helpful. only stressed me out n-#-as result the world/character building became lackluster)#Euros is still a silly guy who's scared to hurt someone/thing physically! (his inspos are kai ninyago s0kka and kuzc0 so)#but ill be damned if i let any of my characters be *just* a silly guy that is fucking obnoxious #each of these fuckers is a psychological experiment. also sick shit: new 'Ros vc is french apparently :)#he can sing Zephyr songs in Her Tongue™... get it anime chin boy get that multilinguality

I don’t need therapy I need to be a gruff father figure to some annoying little kid and when they snark me I say things like “see if I save your life again” even though I very much will save their life again even at the cost of my own

#i was thinking about aizawa and joel while writing this #I <3 gruff father figures in fiction #Some shop owner holding my child by their shirt collar: is this your kid??#Me resisting the urge to kill them: …no #This is funny because I am a teenage boy and there is nothing ‘gruff’ about me #I just want to find some trash gremlin and adopt them is that too much to ask #aizawa core #fiction tropes #found family #i love you found family trope #The kid tells me about their traumatic childhood and I go hunt down the people who hurt them #What type of mental illness is this

on that subject, obsessed with today when i was like "hey guys, can you two stop playing the jumping game for now because it's giving caden a headache" and my 6 yr old cousin is like "you mean 'me'. it's giving 'me' a headache, because your caden". it's like yeah man ur right. my bad . and then they stopped jumping. it was awesome

#the thing is like. the jumping hurt my headright away #but i let them do it for a while before they told them to stop. and then they did #and i think thats part of it too. for somw things you have to wait and let kids have whay they want for a while before swooping in and #asking for them to stop #so they dont feel super controlled #and like. as an autistic person I HAVE TO DO THAT ANYWAY USUALLY #there's so many adult people out there who i have to put up witj their noises because i KNOW if i ask for them to stop theyll get mad #or even on a lesser extent. like as an autistic person w my sorta issues. you have to a let a lot of things go that are genuenly painful #and stressful. bc if u ask people to do things too much they often get upset. even if theyre overall nice #same with kids #but with kids you get to ask them to stop way more and you get to ask earlier than you would with most adults #like. ill be trying to put up with somethinf and struggling and get to the ppont where im visibly shaking and stuttering and on the verge #of tears #and the mere request of 'could you turn the tv ofd #still gets whole ass adults telling me im entitled and bossy #meanwhile child will hear 'thats making me feel bad' and theyll hear that and theyll think about it #and often times theyll stop #and even when they dont they dont insult you!#and people still say little kids are annoying????#when i tell a little kid 'could you turn the sound off on the video game or take it to another room the sounds its making are upsetting me #they LISTEN.#adults have a strong tendency to #use the ironicallt imature logic of ' i like this thing. so it dosent matter if it is upsetting you. i like it so i want to have it. even #though we are in a shared space together. i wont change what im doing because i want to do the thing i like. and thats more important than #not upsetting you. because doing the thing i like makes ME feel good.'#like. litterallt this mindset is easily more promient in adults than small children 100% . on god #and its just about the most childish thing ever.#its understandable. but its immature #and with something this simple its silly people cant let that go. its not complex at all. its stop making noise it is hurting me. easy

Its your tumblr man. talk about nova if you want!

I don’t have the time to explain the entirety of the shadow the hedgehog arc but it’s eating my brain like. he and shadow are both created beings who feel aimless and confused but nova knows why he was created while shadow doesn't. and bc nova is metal sonic he knows shadow's past so he kind of ends up becoming a mentor to him bc he relates (though he’s a manipulative amoral shit so he is not upfront about anything, except that shadow is not a robot bc that gives him an excuse to kick him as hard as possible and then gloat about how if he were truly a robot he wouldn’t be able to feel the pain and therefore he’s inferior). neither of them know what morality is and they stumble through most of the haphazard plot points in one way or another trying to figure it out. he flat out just ditches shadow when black doom shows up for last story bc he fundamentally cares more about defeating sonic than literally everything else and if sonic is eaten alive he can’t do that so he saves his life. he accidentally ends up in a qpr with him bc sonic (not entirely incorrectly) assumes that “i will keep you safe until you have reached your full potential and i have mine, then i will prove my superiority and kill you and relish in it, but until then i feel satisfied in existing around you and i will continue on your legacy after i kill you” is essentially the closest thing he can get to a confession and being both very aroace and an adrenaline junkie sees “close friendship until one of us kills the other” as way more fun than, like, anything anyone sensible would consider a qpr. he adopts a chao. when he realises trans people exist he immediately goes “okay. i will beat everyone at every gender” and starts using any/all pronouns bc they should rightly belong to him. she goes to therapy.

06 isnt entirely planned but i do know how it ends (mephiles killing sonic was the exact best way to piss off nova and bc he is metal sonic's sonic oc rp character and he has all the power he has in heroes and more solaris fucking dies painfully. also they absorb his power which would be terrifying if they were still trying to conquer the world but instead they’re using their irl amino rp to cope with their issues marginally better) and unleashed onwards is mostly just a collection of ideas. the main plots still happen bc like, nova does like larping as a organic normal hedgehog but he fundamentally views the world through the lens of his ultimate showdown with sonic and proving his superiority being the only thing that matters and he Wants sonic to go through adversity to grow stronger as he also grows stronger by. mostly just pirating the dna of various gods honestly. but she also will Not tolerate anyone killing sonic but herself (and in general will Not tolerate anyone killing sonics friends or her father bc she considers them + sonic the only tolerable organics even if she considers everyone but sonic as inferior to herself) so. forces is fun. and also there’s a reason for the metal sonic illusion to be a thing (bc metal left the nest and is pretty apathetic to the whole “taking over the world” thing outside of it letting it commit grievous bodily harm)

there’s originally a much starker divide between nova (as metal sonics own deviantart recolour) and neo metal sonic as himself but by the time sonic and friends know who he is and don’t immediately reject him for that or the inherent fact he's got a very different and oftentimes confusing mindset and way of thinking than them he's very casual at slipping between the two and uses both names interchangeably. he generally prefers his organic disguise, bc he can go outside with it, but uses his original voice (which is monotone sonic with electronic distortion) and usually turns off the systems he made so he automatically moves and emotes in a more natural manner bc he finds emulating stuff like breathing or crying uncomfortable and disgusting even if he’s able to tolerate looking organic.

#for those of you who don’t know the nova au is basically neo metal sonic makes his own sonic oc #and instead of doing sonic heroes he infiltrates sonic and his friends by doing oc roleplay after shapeshifting into them #he is. not good at it but he’s not good at it in a way that made everyone assume he was just kinda a sheltered kid and not a tiny t1000 #they were obviously pissed when they found out hence why he was spending time with shadow and not spending 24/7 with sonic #and yeah. the qpr metonic in this is not healthy but that is the point theyre fucked up mentally ill teenagers who have Unique world views #like they’re both 14-15 during this time they’re Not responsible adults. I mean even if nova matures she kinda is stuck with the whole #being inherently driven to hurt and kill the one person she considers an equal thing. bc it’s in every line of her code.#she doesn’t have to like it tho she becomes less of a brat (though still very full of herself)

Poppy Playtime chapter 3 was rlly somthing omg

The first two chapters were great and fun to play but chapter 3 is genuinely terrifying. Miss delight- hated her, daydog- I got chills seeing him in the prison cell, CatNap- really interesting but scary

And don't even get me started on the Hour of Joy and the big bodies initiative. Like the first 2 chapters made it seem like it just be another mascot scary game, but no it took such a dark turn and I'm lovinggg it.

#the big bodies genuinly made me squirm #like yeah when u get to the playcare its like ok they expirimented on kids #but no its acaully worse then just exposing them to the red gas #some of the kids actually got adopted #and the 'lucky' few got chosen for experiments #not only did they tear out their brains and nervous systems and put them in the smiling critters #they actualy forced the smiling critters to interact with the other kids #who used to be their friends #and then the hour of joy omg #like the name is just scary #i cant rlly blame the smiling critters for being easily influenced into reveng #like they are kids that were hurt #was the prototype just using them? probably #i like how theres not really a clear 'good side' in the game #bcs a lot of the workers didnt even know what went on behind the scene s #and just thought they were helping the kids #i do find it interesting how catnap always tried to keep the kids safe even during the hour of joy tho #ill stop rambling now lol #poppy speaks #poppy playtime chapter 3

you can take the caleb out of the volstrucker program but you can't take the volstrucker program out of the caleb.the point of it all

#ill write the whole thing later. gotta do that assignmence. but for now #he is never getting away from it. he never really meant to . professor at soltryce ffucking academy? are you kidding mee?#caleb handshake beau. willingly walking into the organizations that hurt them . it's kind of different for them . but kind of not because.#well. soltryce/the assembly fucked caleb up real bad. the cobalt soul should never have taken beau and it took a long time for her to #get support/have those wrongs righted. not the same scale but like. waagh . you know. anyway. the way that they knew that they #were never getting out of there and getting out was never the point.hhhbbbh. the other meta isnt fully about that . the other meta is #campaign era caleb behavior and volstrucker behaviors. different but not. he is never getting out and he never meant to #caleb weaponizing his training both against the assembly and essek. beau weaponizing her training against the cobalt soul (via rightfully #speaking out abt the circumstances that brought her there) and using that Search For Justice to rightfully call people out. and quietly #gather info . which caleb also does.#fjord the charismatic (persuasive and friendly) face of the party and caleb who knows how to play a part and beau who knows how to #keep watch. and remember.#charisma stats r craazy . beau's is lower than i thought but it's a wis thing actually . the way wis and cha are intertwined from an rp #standpoint.. the way those three bounce off each other but also like specifically beau and caleb the dynamic duo

I haven't read TBC yet but I already know for certain that in my rewrite in my head, Needleclaw is the protag not Rootspring

#depending on how the romance is handled i may still put her with bristlefrost but i havent heard that much favorable things... hrm.#i could still have it end tragically. like they all die at the end its a tragic arc and it forces change #that wouldnt be the issue its just ive heard rootspring is sorta pushy and derails bristles arc #btw bristlefrost is getting renamed just bc. im changing a lot of nextgen babies post oots #i'm thinking shes named after a plant but im not sure which one #but for now im just calling her bristle for claritys sake #shes an ivyblossom baby #if the forbidden romance still happens (which it probably will tbh this is a neat arc for it)#then the context will be shifted around so its not a ''pressured into it'' deal #speaking of canon tho uhhh my books are due in two days so. may power through darkest night finally #ill just get the pdfs from here so i can read on the go as well (im carrying other physical books)#also im so back and forth on sparkstorm as the thunderclan pov cause i want it to be a wind/shadow conflict arc #and move twig to windclan to help that so we have eyes in there... but augh im thinking of sparkstorm having a complicated #relationship with twigshade... where like she tried and failed to protect her bc she was a child raising a child #paralleling needletail who initially had selfish intentions and hurt violetshine but grew genuinely fond of her and tried to raise her #but they both failed the girls cause they were kids themselves and they were failed by the adults around them #and augh. i COULD do that with larkwing over in windclan but she'd be older in the timeline #echoed voice #also needle and spark toxic/tragic yuri

stressed out of my mind because a guy i know is transphobic and very misinformed on the topic and ive been trying my very best to explain things to him but its not been very effective so far and he keeps talking to trans kids and shit and in an effort to "help" them he straight up recommends conversion therapy and other things like that, and making those people extremely uncomfortable!! and because ive talked to him multiple times i feel like its my responsibility to get him to stop doing that somehow but ive literally no idea what to do!!!!! what the hell man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#vent #sorry i just needed to talk because what the hell #he knows im trans so we have discussions about what it means to be trans regularly #he thinks hes helping me out of my transgenderism or some shit like that and i let him talk to me because im hoping in the process i'll get #him to realize being trans is not a bad thing and hopefully make him less transphobic #but its so tiring #and recently he showed me a convo he had w a 14 year old kid whos trans and being very pushy w them trying to help with “gender dysphoria”#and that shit broke me man i cant let him do stuff like that #i dont know what to do because i feel like no matter how many sources i give him or no matter what i say he'll keep being like this and!!!#that scares me! because maybe one day some kid will actually believe that being transgender is a mental illness and that they need #conversion therapy or something #its stressing me out and i feel like the only thing left to do is cut contact w him because i dont want to accidentally encourage him or #anythign but if i leave without doing anything im basically letting him go hurt other trans people and spread misinfo everywhere and itd be #my fault for not stopping him #you get what i mean #long post wow #rambles

go bestie expose your feelings about the ending😔✌️

before i say anything, these are my OWN opinions! no one take them as me speaking for everyone. you can either respectfully discuss in the reblogs/replies or make your own post if you disagree that much, thank you!!

everything else is under the cut bc oh gosh this is actually pretty long lmao (dw, I have a TL;DR at the end)

let me start with the LOWS of the episode and work my way to a more positive light :)))

first off, we had no resolution to the fob watch/timeless child arc. I can still understand this bit because it's part of the mystery, but it feels like there's so much plot whose ends they still haven't tied together. did she just drop the fob watch containing ALL HER PAST MEMORIES inside the TARDIS and ignore it?? did the doctor really not tell yaz about the memories? did she do that offscreen? like- what? they set up so many plots and didn't even end up continuing them like they deserve

next is how they handled sapphic ships, specifically lesbian ships. I don't know much about the classic companions but from what i've seen, tegan and nyssa are supposed to be together and ace is lesbian-coded, but what we got was retconned tyssa and ace flirting with graham?? and I also disliked how they implied that tegan's life was so dull after being left by the doctor.

they also didnt resolve thasmin at all like?? they gave yaz SO MUCH character development and it looked like her relationship with 13 was gonna have a better resolution because of how they added more of it in EOTD and LOTSD but no?? what happened to "I want to tell you everything" and "if it was gonna be anyone it would've been you"? they just ended it with a nod and walking away silently? now here, I can understand that they both don't want to say goodbye (the doctor bc she hates goodbyes and yaz bc she's holding out hope that they may see each other again) BUT we deserve more than just that. (maybe this is bc I was imagining a killing eve s3 finale-esque goodbye wherein both yaz and the doctor stop in their tracks and turn around for a final goobye kiss, but that's on me lmao)

in addition to that, why is it that the first sapphic doctor is the only one who didn't get a kiss in her entire run, when she had so much chances to kiss yaz? and please don't say "we know it's confirmed to be romantic so we don't need the kiss" bc we have had enough shipping based on subtext and post-show confirmations. i agree that physical touch doesn't define a relationship but can't we have it this once? would it be so hard to give us this on their final day?

finally, imo they hardly gave enough time for jodie to say goodbye to her role properly. it would still have been ok if the episode was only filled to the brim with classic who nostalgia, but then they made her regenerate to 10. instead of giving her (the first female doctor) or ncuti (the first black doctor) the spotlight, they decide to bring back the most popular (and most used) doctor, david tennant. don't get me wrong i LOVE david as a person, but there's a difference between bringing someone back for a cameo and overusing them. with all honesty, I'm tired of him and ten 🤷.

and not only that, they took their most popular (white male cishet) doctor, aka the one that most if not all NMDs compare jodie to, and put him at the end as a cliffhanger? like he was the one they should have been waiting for? they must know that they're diverting people's attention away from appreciating jodie's ending and ncuti's beginning. I keep seeing stuff on twitter like "finally, the good doctor who! they're gonna restore doctor who back to its formal glory! this will prove that the female doctor was a mistake!" which is UTTER BULLSHIT

now here are the HIGHS of the episode because there were a lot of them too:

I LOVED how this episode gave closure to some of the classic companions, aka tegan and ace. I squealed when ace called the doctor "professor" and I'm glad they didn't shy away from showing that a previous companion was (rightfully) upset with the doctor. and all the callbacks! the nitro 9, ace's jacket, and her bat, too. don't even get me STARTED on the "support group for former companions" because that was amazing. IAN WAS THERE?!?!? and it gives such a good open end to them, not only for future projects but also for fanfiction lmao.

the plot of this episode was impressive and fun. its length contributed significantly because it defo wouldn't have worked if it wasn't as long. I really wasnt expecting it to make as much sense as it did because it was a great undertaking, but I'm glad it did. it showed the best parts of chibnall's take on doctor who (utilizing iconic classic who elements well and his own take on history).

THE CHARACTERS!!! gahdamn I loved how they gave the characters their own jobs that only they can handle, like kate and tegan with the cybermen (bc of their history with them), ace with the daleks (same reason, her history) and yaz saving the doctor (bg their PARALLELS here I wanna bawl).

I was also obsessed with the master in this episode!! Sacha played him as such an unhinged little pathetic brat man (affectionate) but he also proved that he was more than capable of delivering powerful scenes. compare the humour of the rasputin dance sequence vs the master so desperately wanting to be the doctor because he feels lonely. he's one of the consistently great things about this episode. i will be hearing RA RA RASPUTIN on repeat in my head for the foreseeable future (as well as thirteen's theme 😭😭😭).

Yaz taking charge!!! my little badass who's grown from being unsure about facing a potential threat in s11 to kicking (the master's) ass, saving ace, flying the tardis like it was nothing, and reversing a regeneration?!?! and not to mention Mandip's acting. she's proven that she has the range of badass action, deep emotion, hilarious comedy, and just raw heart. she's amazing, showstopping, phenomenal. and out of my favourite companions, yaz is the one I connect to the most, both with her struggles (in her mental health, in growing as a person, and in learning she's queer) and her strengths (hopefully her heart, her love for friends, her courage), so to see her grow at the same time as I have is so special to me.

finally, people may disagree with me on this, but I love thirteen's regeneration speech, due to the fact that she did not do it on her own, she didnt just talk to herself on that cliffside (that was just the last bit). most of her speech was to YAZ, her companion, her friend, the one who's supposed to be the viewer's stand-in. her entire message of "goodbyes only hurt because what came before was so special, and it's been so special. no body else got to be us, no body else got to live our days, no body. and my hearts are so full of love for all of you" was not just the doctor to yaz, but jodie and mandip to us. and idc if yall don't like her last words, "Tag, you're it" is SO THIRTEEN and is instantly iconic.

TL;DR I disliked: the abandoned fob watch plot, how they handled sapphic/lesbian characters, the way they hinted at thasmin but never properly resolved them, nostalgia overtaking Jodie's time to say goodbye, and yet another doctor played by david tennant, who I think is overused I LOVED: the closure this gave to tegan and ace, both of them and kate being given unique spotlight, the Former Companion Support Group™️, Sacha Dhawan as the Master, Mandip GIll as Yaz, seeing how much yaz has grown, Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, aaand 13's regeneration speech (which was directed to yaz and to us, not just to herself)

ok i promise im not like “ugh if u dont like pmmm u do not understand it and you can never criticize it for problematic themes or youre looking too deep into it” i have to emphasize that there is stuff in pmmm that is tasteless and i get that and its not for everyone. but i wanna look into the brains of people who are like “pmmm is misogynistic bc it says that 14 year old girls are more emotional than most people”

#i mean. is it weird that they specify girls and not boys? yeah. and i can see that as gen being like ''men do not feel as much as females''#but like. yeah teenagers ARE emotional. and thats the point. kyubey says this with the context that he exploits these kids to harvest them #like. he literally takes advantage of a time in someone's life where they're more vulnerable and easy to manipulate #and it keeps in line with like the theme that the magical girl system exploits these kids more than it helps them achieve their goals #the only character thats like 'lmao u girls are dipshits and u deserve the pain for not knowing ur wishes would suck'#is kyubey and hes a villainous alien who thinks emotion is a mental illness and is literally harvesting kids for energy by manipulating them #and if episode 9 doesnt show that hes conniving and fully willing to withhold information to hurt ppl and is not trustworthy idk what does #echoed voice
