Fuck it deranged "I just woke up" character analysis
I think it's interesting that in the movie it feels like Leo is more determined to NOT be serious whereas in the series, despite being lazy, he was also (mostly) the most reasonable
A lot of ppl believe Leo was doing this to shirk responsibilities of being a leader (which while I do think is VERY possible, don't think was what was happening)
Considering how much at the beginning Leo pushes "we defeated the Shredder" I believe it was moreso "We just underwent a very traumatic event the last thing I wanna do is start training and getting strict with things"
Rise Leo shirking responsibility? Possibly, but with how much he prevents his brothers from biting off more then they can chew and how integral "why does nobody trust me?" is apart of his character? Harder for me to believe
Him avoiding serious "hero" work bc he went through a traumatic event and as he does so it's repeated "its not about you" when he decides to be selfish and tries to just have fun instead? Far more likely, it's also interesting that Raph never tells Leo "when are you going to be a leader" leadership isn't really ever mentioned in the movie
Just Raph saying "when are you going to take things seriously", I also think Mikey and Donnie aren't really on anyone's side, afterall they're participating in Leo's shenanigans at the beginning, they're the ones participating in the "you said heroes" game, breaking the pizza record
But at the same time now Donnie has Donnie Pods, which is assumably after Shredder's attack (unfortunately we don't have a clue what Mikey might've been doing before the Kraang, but I'm assuming since Leo is the one getting bitched at the most, Mikey was doing some training as well), they have taken some things seriously, more then Leo, but not to the degree Raph is
Anyway but imagine trying to avoid thinking about how everyone you love nearly died and trying to just enjoy time with them while you can and prove that things are going to be okay, there won't be another Shredder only to fuck up so badly that there's something worse then Shredder, and so you go "I can fix it look this future guy says I can fix it he's supporting me" *falls in a hole* *gets told he sucks* "Nvm I guess I don't got this!"
I think this also supported by how Raph mentions trying to prevent your team from getting hurt and the change of Leo's face only to IMMEDIATELY goad Raph into a fight

I can't tell which one is funnier. Dick borrowing Bruce's credit card to give Wally's twins full college tuitions as a baby shower present or Donna giving infants enchanted battle armor.
Either way, 10/10 god parents right there.

Do you ever think Geto showed Gojo all the mundane things non-sorcerers do? Like Gojo probably grew up pretty sheltered due to possessing the limitless and six eyes. The Gojo clan knew how important he was and given the assassinations of previous users I'm sure they kept him on a tight rope.
So I can't help but think about Gojo meeting Geto for the first time and the two of them going on missions together at jujutsu tech and Geto showing Gojo all these super mundane things that he never got to do as a kid.
Like taking him to his first drive-in movie or his first concert. Taking him bowling or to arcades. All things that Geto did on the regular before attending jujutsu tech but which Gojo never got to experience.

does blood magic really make a mage more likely to be possessed. does it. because the more i look into the lore the more it feels like a skewed statement at best and a straight up lie at worst
like i’m sitting here doing way too much research for fic reasons and trying to think about this stuff and it’s like...we have somniari, who are super connected to the Fade and therefore in extra danger from demons. And sure, that makes sense.
But then we also have blood mages, who are less connected to the Fade because they draw their power from blood instead- and they’re also supposedly in more danger from demons? That one just doesn’t make sense to me? The best i can figure is that mages who use blood magic to summon/control demons simply have more interaction with them than the typical mage, but by the previous logic they should also find demons easier to resist

zoro's challenge to mihawk.

koby and luffy first meeting and their funny dynamic, zoro and luffy first meeting and their silly dynamic, nami and luffy first meeting and their silly dynamic, b u g g y, usopp and luffy being usopp and luffy, the frickin treasure tab, sanji and his amusement with luffy, zeff and sanji's dynamic, nami my sweet lonely lil' tangerine, all of it actually, all of it...it's just...G O L D
but this particular scene just...I kept rewatching it lol
Like tell me this isn't how it went down:
Mihawk: take me to your leader
Zoro: you're the guy
Mihawk: take me to your leader
Zoro: but you're the guy
Mihawk: *unimpressed stare*
Zoro: I've been watching you since I was a kid, old man(implied, heavily implied)
Mihawk: yes, thank you or whatever
Zoro: man it sucks but also I am going to enjoy kicking your ass
Mihawk: I beg your pardon
Zoro: My name is Roronoa Zoro, my friend died so I'm going to fulfill our dream for the both of us. Prepare to die.
Mihawk: You're nobody, I'm only here for your captai-
Zoro: They call me The Demon™ now, but soon they'll call me The Greatest™
Mihawk: *internally* wow, edgy *out loud* You're really serious about this, aren't you?
Zoro: Fuck around and find out
Mihawk: Fine then, your funeral. Don't come crying when I kill you and your captain. *stalks away dramatically*
Zoro: *squealing, jumping up and down in his mind*

hm the mask would be good for kanan's eyes if they were chronically dry. which ig would make sense if the saber fucked up his eyes. do kanan's tear ducts function normally? not sure. but the mask would be good for keeping out wind or dust or pollens or anything that would irrritate his eyes.

Growing up in an extremely ultra religious, cult-like family was a mindfuck for multiple reasons but that doesn't stop unfortunately, even when you escape. For example, see: The overwhelming feeling of boiling hatred and shame for who you used to be.
The angry hatred for the past person I used to be, the version of myself that mindlessly parroted my family's beliefs and listened to their every command, constantly simmered under my skin and invaded my every thought. I was embarrassed of what I used to be- even as I made friends of different ethnicities and faiths, as I listened and explored new ideas and worlds that I never knew existed, as I started the first LGBTQ+ club at my school and volunteered with kids who deserved so much more- there was always a little voice in the back of my head.
"They would hate you if they knew what you were. They would hate the horrendous teachings that were seared into your mind, the things that you used to say and believe. You are nothing but a pretender."
And it is true that my beliefs were bigoted in all the worst ways. It is true that I believed truly heart-wrenching things without a second thought and judged others in such harsh and unfair ways. I told myself that there was no coming back from that, not really. There was nothing I could do to ever make up for it.
Then I remembered that the person who said those things wore velcro light up sneakers and collected finger puppets that the librarians handed out as awards for reading picture books. The person that held signs at pro-life rallies and anti-LGBTQ+ protests had a cherished sticker book and hunted minnows in the creek after school and adored their puffle on club penguin and was really into greek mythology and had skinned knees from climbing trees at recess and knew every Disney song by heart and was absolutely terrified of the dark.
That person was a child.
I was a child.
It took a really long time. Years and years of reflection and distance, but I've decided that I can't hate the past version of myself anymore. I feel pity and remorse, I feel anger- I feel so much fury and violent rage- at what my childhood was and I grieve what could- no, should- have been, but I no longer resent who I was.
I'm not ashamed.
I am so, so, so unbelievably proud of that little kid. For being brave enough to leave the comfort and safety of what I was told was right. For not being afraid to be wrong. For seeking out information and knowledge in a culture that praised ignorance. For questioning everything, relentlessly.
I am by no means a perfect person, I never have been and I never will, but I am proud of myself in every iteration that has ever existed because I know that I have never stopped trying to understand and learn and grow, and I never will.
If you have ever been in a similar situation and feel similar things, first of all: My condolences on your lost childhood. Second of all: Please be nice to that past version of yourself and recognize all the hard work they did to make you who you are today. That person was a survivor and an inspiration. They deserve nothing but love.
