I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself#note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown#when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is#and how much his persona is more an actor#Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so#since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it#and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are#I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja#his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times#not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo#but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters#or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily#it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do#like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero#All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential#likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja#but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse#he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it#Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like#you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

Bruce is actually really attractive, and I have enough reasoning to make a list
He's:
Tall (. Tall enough to hit his head on the vault doorframe)
Long-legged
Has a straight nose bridge
Has high cheekbones (more noticeable in 2nd pic below)
Has a strong jawline
Sharp eyes, but they aren't small (plus eyebags if you're into that)
Overall, he has strong, attractive facial features
Has broad, refined shoulders. You can tell he works out (or he did, when he was alive)
Even has a thick, muscly neck
He has MUSCLE. Is SCULPTED. NOICE. VERY NOICE. (nice arms. Nice shoulders. Nice neck. Nice legs. Nice butt-)
(There are actually panels where you can see some of his muscles. Other than those already shown here, he's got bricky thighs-
-and in the panels where we first get his name dropped, he's got those shoulder blades too-)
The one time we see him smile, and he actually has a scary one
Has small, kinda sharp pupils, and his eyes remind me of a cat. We only ever saw him tense or defensive, so his resting/listening face is really cute
Other than the physical appearance stuff, he also:
Takes shit without batting an eye (patience, knowing it's just how Kudo is, etc)
Kudo being all "Cut the crap Bruce and give it to me straight", after Bruce tests his blood and is rightfully Concerned because they just faced AFO
Put up with Kudo's experimenting and testing over Yoichi's transferable Factor
Did ya'll see the look on Kudo's face when he realized he had Yoichi's Factor/will? Kudo was going to start in nonsense and Bruce just dealt with that.
Also something I noticed when looking back at the images here; Bruce has bandages on his arms in the void. But not when he faced AFO in the sewers.
Were he and Kudo cutting their arms open in their experimenting over Yoichi's theory? Is this why Kudo has two gauntlets instead of his one? Why we never see his bare arms in the void? That he always keeps his arms down so there's no slip?
Is smart enough to run blood tests, plus has enough common sense to pick Shinomori as his successor
He picked a guy who avoids society, has an Ability to detect danger so he can always stay away from AFO, is also a coward so he's never going to go throw himself into danger, even without knowing instinctively he stands no chance, etc.
Meanwhile, Kudo chose Bruce, who he played Hot Potato Yoichi with; but he did also trust Bruce, and put the only pure combative Ability in OFA through Bruce.
These two made their choices based on what they valued and saw the Factor needed.
Is logical, analytical, and calm.
He tried advising Midoriya on their Abilities in One For All, especially his own.
Midoriya then tried ignoring him about using Fa Jin for the first time, but found he was right, thinking: "Dammit!! I had [Lady Nagant] right where I wanted her, but... ugh! The Third was right. My parallel Quirk processes are all screwed up!" (ch. 314).
Plus, when Midoriya fixed his processing mistakes, Bruce was analyzing the way he reached his new conclusion. Pure facts, no bias, very calm, just saying it as it was.
We never see him panic. When he's caught by surprise in the sewers by AFO, Kudo, and Yoichi's little bubble event, he immediately reacts. He doesn't falter, he just knows he has to do something right now.
Was more willing to listen than Kudo to Yoichi's beckon, and probably was just following Kudo's rejection of Midoriya
While we don't see Kudo's face, we see Bruce's eyes when Yoichi calls on his heroes. Bruce was more open and receptive, or at least more impacted.
Bruce was also the one to start talking, while Kudo just kept quiet.
He actually communicates a lot
When Yoichi called them to support Midoriya, Bruce started talking to paint a picture of why they thought the way they did, so Yoichi understood where they were coming from.
(Though he seems to beat about the bush sometimes, since Kudo spoke up to be direct on how they couldn't just put their trust in some starry-eyed teenager. Plus, when Kudo tells him to just tell him what's wrong [double Factors])
When Midoriya first used Fa Jin against Nagant, Bruce came out just to tell him he knew what he was trying, but that Midoriya wasn't ready; and Midoriya found he was right. Midoriya just didn't want to listen to him then.
He asks Kudo for clarification after finding Kudo had two Factors in him after the sewer incident ("Just to be sure, All For One didn't touch you, right?") Kudo knew him well enough to go "stop beating around the bush and tell me", so Bruce was probably gonna start with questions, theories, and trying to understand everything in general, before saying "yeah you have two Factors. Don't know why".
Is strong-willed and loyal.
He followed Kudo, even to death, carrying on the cause he started until it ended with him.
Plus, when talking about how AFO needs a strong will to override OFA's own, we first see Bruce, Kudo, and Yoichi.
AFO couldn't steal OFA because the will was too strong for him, and that was back during Banjo's time. Since Shinomori never actually tried opposing AFO and just hid, we can assume the first Three (Yoichi, Kudo, Bruce) already had an accumulation of strong willpower that made OFA un-stealable. Those three are a strong enough foundation, and the main wills, that the other users just become bonuses.
Kudo, also saying that Midoriya needs allies with the same will and drive as him... hey Kudo, you're talking about yourself and your old allies, aren't you? That's why you look at Yoichi and Bruce when you say this.
Not only is Bruce attractive, but he's got good character. THE END.
#yes this is a bruce appreciation post#am i biased? yes. am i right that he has these features? also yes.#hes actually a very attractive person. hes got all the right features for it#plus hes smart (some medical knowledge) is really loyal strong-willed and patient#he puts up with kudo SO much#from being bossed around to taking home yoichis brother to whatever the heck kudo made him do to figure out OFA's transfer properties.....#i didnt think much of bruce originally#then i started doing resistance fic stuff and now hes a fave#hes a little blorbo#that i throw in terrible situations for my own entertainment#used his scary smile for comedy purposes#like when he made a kid cry once. or when a meta child was afraid of him so they bit him#has patience to deal with kudo and co. but also. has enough bite to snark them. is how i like writing him#oh? background character? well lemme just *picks him up* EXPAND ON THAT-#fic stuff: he tries making a good impression on a girl and kudo is ruining it immediately#he doesnt know what to do because the two always banter#kudo: fuck you#oc: fuck me yourself you coward#he sees through a rose-lens that kudo is trying to rip off his face#appeciation kinda turned analysis in general#bruce#kudo#yoichi shigaraki#bnha#mha#spoilers#boku no hero academia#my hero academia#NOT YOICHIS BROTHER. i meant Yoichi / AFO's brother in a prev tag up there but theres too much tags i dont wanna rewrite to fix that#(image limit and tag limit)

Art Wip Game
@artisticallyill you asked about the Battle Cody & Obi so here it is
This one is definitely a bad name. While technically accurate, it's not the defining thing about this. Battle Cody & Obi is the name of my drawing that is my Codywan FMAB AU. Truly the title says nothing, and idk what i was thinking when i named the drawing but it's my fmab au
Here's it is so far:
In this au, the jedi are the state alchemists, Obi-Wan is a general and a state alchemist and a highly revered one but I don't know what his alchemy specialization is yet. Cody is his right hand who watches his back and has several big guns and people are scared of him.
I imagine this drawing to be them fighting Maul, who would absolutely just set a bunch of things on fire, not even with alchemy but with straight up matches cuz he's petty like that and Cody and Obi-Wan are trapped by the fire and waiting to see where he strikes next.
When I was ideating this, I realized that their dynamic is already pretty similar to Mustang and Hawkeye, especially with the "we can't date cuz you're my superior officer/subordinate" and the "i will flirt with others as a tactical move but it's fake and the real adoration only comes out with you"
Find wip game post here
#tag game#my wips#obi wan kenobi#commander cody#codywan#codywan fmab au#i have so many thoughts#i also imagine that one scene where roys abouta smush envy and hawkeye stops him#cuz i want a falling obi beign held at gunpoint by his commander because cody will not let him fall#cody makes him a better jedi okay?#obiwan might start to fall and codys there#theyre a team and they work well together#cody the ever serious one and obi putting on some false bravado to go by unnoticed because people underestimate him#its perfect#i think about it all the time#obi wan loses his state alchemist watch all the freaking time#cody always has it#and he clips it to his person so it comes to a point where people think hes the state alchemist#and they dont know what theyre fighting for or who#fives is hughes too smart for his own good#there are a lot of high ranking separatists and sith but i havent assigned them to a deadly sin yet#something to think about when i go to sleep tonight#fanart#digital art#star wars#my art#my wip art#fmab au#star wars fanart#wip

I'm actually so glad Grian had the self control to make Jimmy take a different mentor. If he'd been Jimmy's mentor his runs absolutely would have become just another bit instead of actually trying, and he probably would have died early level 1 being screamed at for all three runs.
#decked out 2#i like their dynamic but jimmy deserved to have a chance#and look how good he does when he is given that chance!#i think jimmy finds his own bit too funny tbh he always leans on it#and i mean its his choice but im glad he has people smart enough to stop him when he should#it def wouldnt be fair to tango who put so much work into decked out#even though i think jimmy might have been thinking that grian eould be in a situatiin where he has to be nice to him#and that that could be funny#but im glad grian and tango both put their foot down and said no youre gonna actually try#and he did amazing because of it

i know it was in large part due to not being able to leave the house in the pandemic but i do think it's endearing that benoit blanc gets just like sherlock holmes when he's without a good case: like a completely despondent & pathetic little infant screaming for better enrichment in his enclosure
#glass onion#knives out#benoit blanc#literally zooming his friends in the bath which he hasnt left for a week and leaving his husband to stress bake bc he needs#more mental stimulation#like i said: a baby#too smart for his own good#mine

what i find so funny about that ben shapiro clip is that there is a specific type of dudebro exactly like that that permeates this fandom. like their entire world view does not make a lick of sense as apparent by their takes on this series. they applaud the quality of being willing to use “necessary violence” in tywin & etc, and they seem to only understand the nuances of the use of necessary force when it is used for things it shouldn’t be used for (like sustaining a corrupt regime). they throw fits about dany navigating a situation where radical change is required in order to dismantle a system of slavery that perpetuates endless violence, and write a million thinkpieces about it and how it shows her madness or incompetence, but then they turn around and applaud this psuedo utilitarianism that they project onto other characters that are playing the game (especially ones with atrocious motives) because they want to live out some sort of hard and seasoned male leader competence fantasy. it is so fucking funny like:
use of “needed” force for subjugation = good
use of needed force for emancipation = bad
they would rather applaud a ruler that builds on violent subjugation than abolition & radical change. one is considered a clever and competent utilitarian, while the other too brutal, too far gone, and too idealistic
#like at least the ‘mercy’ ppl are consistent about this#reddit dudebros have not a single sensible and coherent world view#idek what shapiro’s take on dany is but ill make another educated guess like i did w tywin that ended up being right#that he thinks she is too far gone or smn#tywin isnt tho tywin is competent and the necessary violence we need#so true ben#facts dont care about my feelings 😔#tywin lannister#daenerys targaryen#tywin using violence to sustain his putrid regime that bleeds the realm = good and smart#dany using it against slavers that perpetuated a system of suffering for ages = bad and too far gone#200 iq analysis iktr#and this isnt even considering the fact that tywin’s decisions r not rational moves they r often emotionally charged#and driven by his own fragility

in my mind jake is a very no-nonsense down-to-earth type of person and it's hilarious to imagine him absolutely losing it over the concept of squips. 'what the fuck are you on that kind of technology doesn't exist. you're fucking with me i'm not believing this scifi crap until you show me a research paper.' he would be so irrationally upset about it
#too proud for his own good and in denial over everything that happened#doesn't have the emotional capability to process the trauma but is stupidly smart#ends up hung-up on trying to rationalize what is arguably the least relevant part of this entire situation#michael has to pull up everything he managed to find which does shut jake up but he's still pissy about it#leave him alone he's so smart but so stupid and he's trying his best to cope#bmc#be more chill#jake dillinger

oughh......
#laya plays dragon age#da2#oc: liam hawke#this happened a bit ago already & i wanted to draw sth for it but idk if i will finish that#but i gotta yell abt them anyway because OGH.#i have a lot of emotions about this quest ok#bartrand was the perfect scapegoat he was perfect to direct all the rage and pain at all these years#years of imagining gleeful revenge while bartrand is gloating and laughing like an evil soulless bastard#and then you meet him and he is just. a pathetic husk of a man with barely any own will left#and whats worse. varric is so so torn up about it#varric. the guy who never makes anything about him and who will always handwave and joke when something hits too close to home#drops all efforts to be smart and is just. desperate. begs hawke to not kill his brother#and liam wants to want bartrand dead so bad. he wishes he could look him in the eye and enjoy taking his life#and he knows varric will listen to him if he insisted. he knows when it comes down it it varric will yield to his decision#but he sees this broken guy who is barely the villain he kept projecting onto him and he sees varric and he sees two doomed siblings#and knows what its like to lose your sibling to your own blade#and he cant do it#and he hates it so much. but he wont do it.#and its the reason why i cant decide who dealt the killing blow for bethany bc it makes this scene juicy in different ways#if varric kills bethy its equally wanting to spare each other their siblings blood on their hands#as it is taking some form of revenge (on liams part). we both killed each others siblings. now we are even#the revenge part would still be there if liam did the blow on bethany himself. you made me do that and now i will take bartrand for it#but its also much more i know what its like. i wont make go through that too#if varric killed bethy and then also bartrand it would be more#''its my fault she is dead. i will take the revenge she/you deserves if you tell me to even though it will hurt me#dunno. all good variations i will. have to rotate them in my head more#or maybe just never decide idk they can be in canon limbo forever#anyways thats it for shouting into the void about them for now it Will happen again

Rufus!
I just felt like drawing him.
Maybe Dingo will get one too, who knows.
#torras art#torras characters#rufus and dingo#rufus the dog#he's so shaped I love drawing him#he's a certified good boy but he's too smart for his own good at times#the brains of the operation#he acts very serious but deep down he's still a pubby#he hates when his pubby side shows he gets really embarrassed

Oh, so you know how Sherlock had that thing going on with cocaine, and how every iteration of him has some drug problem
But as someone’s pointed out before, they didn’t really know how bad cocaine was for Sherlock at the time, except for maybe John since he’s a doctor?
Cause of that, do you think pineapples are Shawn’s “cocaine,” he’s just eating too much of them to the point it’s badly affecting his health? Or do you think something else fits the comparison?
#Shawn is a *great* version of Sherlock#he’s v smart but he does seem to lack important knowledge from things he doesn’t consider important#but it’s not done in an overly douchebag way#it’s clearly a ‘sometimes too arrogant for his own good way’#he knows people well enough to read them to solve cases#but he does have that thing that drives a wedge between him and people#making Gus (John) his main companion#there’s so much more but I’m so terrible at being coherent#shawn spencer#psych#Sherlock comparisons

Respectfully, I’m gonna need someone to dumb Percy Jackson down at least 20% ASAP.
#I’ll also accept a 40% in gullibility#I was so excited for crusty and literally none of the good stuff happened#what do you mean Percy figures all of that out before Hades?#(also literally since when has Hades whole thing not been about jealousy? that’s his entire character)#this kid is too smart and it’s take so much of the fun out of things#Sally you prepared your kid too well and now he’s messing up the plot of his own stories#pjo tv#pjo tv spoilers#(for the tags)#silence emily

thinking about how in if peter hadn't messaged the turd burglar saying he knew their identity, they never would have done "the dump". but peter has this obsession with Winning, with not only being right but telling everyone- including the perpetrator- that he was right and he caught them. he truly is insane characters of all time. teenage boy flavor: by god what is wrong with you (affectionate) (horrified)
#american vandal#peter maldonado#mine#he's nuts i love him to death#too fucking smart for his own good and also sooo autistic#when ur special interest takes over ur life and threatens ur relationships#lol just girly things
