I just noticed when Ozzie appears behind Fizz, the initial explosion shows his sigil for exactly ONE frame (replacing Mammon's sigil we've seen plastered throughout the episode). I just thought it was a neat little detail, Asmodeus essentially summoned himself in that moment.

i think my favorite type of relationship trope is "stopped believing in love a long time ago" and "genuinely doesn't think they're worthy of love" falling for each other in the MOST romantic way possible

I think one of my favorite jily tropes is when James is a cocky, arrogant prick and he's teasing Lily about how he knows that she's attracted to him or that she likes him or something and then Lily is like, 'yes, I fancy you' and James trips over every pair of shoes he owns, falls on his face and loses every iota of confidence he's ever had. He doesn't believe her, he can't understand why she would like him. He's baffled. Bamboozled. And she's like ??? you just told me that you knew I liked you? and he's like 'yeah but I was making shit up???'

jealousy, jealousy 🥴

Ah yes the good old "I can't remove my boyfriend's mask" trope.

rolling bruce and dick around in my mind like fidget marbles bc their dynamic has so many delicious layers like… dick, eventually, finally admits that “im not you bruce” (read: im a failure) and bruce echoes him, “you are not me” (read: you are better) and dick takes it as an insult because shouldn’t he be like bruce? shouldn’t he be like batman? even though he does NOTTTTT want to be him at all it still feels like a failure that bruce is agreeing to. meanwhile bruce is like… he’s so grown up now he’s independent he’s better than batman could ever be he is my pride and joy he is the only thing i have ever done right. but neither of them say anything and they keep talking circles around each other

THIS IS SO CUTE???

God, the way Delicious in Dungeon handles some classic fantasy tropes is so creative I'm constantly blown away. Living Armor? Shellfish that inhabit old suits and connect colony-style! Resurrection magic? Only works in the dungeon because of an ambient curse that prevents souls from leaving their corpses! Even the concept of dungeons as being man-made specifically to cultivate certain monster populations is something I never really put any thought into but really makes sense when you think about it, I can't wait to see what other spins on the usual fare this series throws at me next.

can't stop daydreaming about a soulslike zelda game yall i'm so normal about this

Rok Soo died when he was supposed to, and got reincarnated as the illegitimate child...of Cale Henituse.

Specifically, he was born when Cale was sixteen; the product of two teens and too much liquor, from before Cale had a good tolerance to alcohol.

And Rok Soo has no qualms about trying to make sure his ticket to a good, rich, lazy life doesn't get the shit kicked out of him.

So when he's a toddler, and Choi Han makes his appearance, things go a little differently.

Hi! I had a question regarding the last chapter, Leo doesn't recognizes Cassandra because he doesn't remember her? Because the story takes place after the fight with the Shredder and the Kraang so it's imposible he doesn't know Cassandra is no longer with the foot.

Btw I have read so many fics of rise and in my opinion your is by far my favorite. You are doing amazing!

⚠️Chapter 21 Spoilers!⚠️

thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you like it! 🩵

But as far as Cass goes— season 2 ended right after The Shredder fight, right? I personally believe that there would be very little contact with Cassandra immediately after the fight. After all, the fam lost their home and had to find a new lair. They needed time to recover from the fight, both physically and emotionally. And I’d imagine there was some…. hard feelings towards the person who released a world-dominating terror on their family who nearly killed their dad.

That being said, I like to believe that Cass’ contact with the boys was pretty minimal prior to the invasion. I like to keep the amount of time between the end of season 2 and the start of the ROTTMNT movie up for interpretation, but I still feel like Cass' relationship with the Hamatos is... 'complicated' during that time. Maybe she got along with Splinter, but I imagine the brothers would have a harder time accepting her, even if she defected from the Foot. In the fic, it’s post-invasion (and after Leo is lost to the Prison Dimension) that the Casey Jones Jr becomes the catalyst for Cassandra to bond with the Hamatos-- Leo wouldn’t have known how much she’s changed and grown as a person all this time.

And

Leo’s a petty guy LOL

Throughout the show we see the cheeky, spiteful side of Leo and i love that. And after losing a good chunk of his sanity, he’ll only remember the ‘important’ things… and a bad bitch like Leo never forgets who wronged him. Or wronged his family. Seeing Cass and remembering the Shredder fight is all that mattered to him in that moment.

To Leo, it didn't matter if Cassandra had defected from the foot. Nor did he have the capacity to consider maybe she's changed in the heat of the moment. He only remembers her as Foot Clan, and the Foot Clan was bad bad B͕̙̦͆ͭ͟Ǎ̢͍̓̆͊ͯͦ͗D̍͜

my two beautiful princesses with disorders who are very similar and thus would probably not like each other (initially at least)

When the authors notes apologies for a fic being “purely self indulgent” is when you Know it’s gonna be good

cannibal Laios is so funny to me cause you couldn't find a dude less interested in humans than Laios, he thinks being a human is boring let alone consuming them, his whole interest in consuming monsters comes from finding them interesting and even he has agreed to be careful around the idea of eating demi-humans.

talk codependency to me. caretaker overcome with adrenaline and panic and fear when whumpee is out of their sight, grabbing their face and frantically looking them over to ensure they're alive, even if they've been gone for two minutes. a whumpee who could handle the worst of torture and only breaks when they threaten caretaker, spilling everything, begging, pleading, for whumper to leave them be. caretaker who goes feral when whumpee is in danger. whumpee who can't even blink without caretaker in the room. they sleep back to back, breathing matched, one eye locked on the door and ready to obliterate anything that dares threaten the other.
