modern au where actually almost everything stays the same at the end of BoO except leo lives and they just all get to spend the rest of the summer having fun and being teenagers at camp.
IM ON THE LEOPRIL TRAIN CHOO CHOOOOO WOOO WOOO (small rant: i remember one time, out in 3rd grade i was playing TMNT with some classmates. i wanted to be april. i couldnt BE april because my hair was “too curly” and i was “not april enough”. i laugh now that little me thought that was the worst insult ever and i sat on the curb for the rest of recess sobbing like:
..so you could tell i was stoked to see rise april)
So real of you tbf
Last year my friend wanted to do a promposal for me but all she knew was that I was hyperfixated on tmnt so her and 3 other friends walked into my house and then bedroom unannounced like this. It is burned into my fucking memory
I just wanna know why Zutara has so many connections just for nothing to happen!! Not even an acknowledgement of developing feelings. It reminds me of Bellarke from The 100, 7 seasons of pure bait😭 It would be one thing if we took one scene and just ran with it, but there are several scenes and too many times things are framed using a romantic lens/formula that has been well established in other media. Fanfics and fan art keep me sane though, I need some recs
This is what I’m thinking about at 3 am when I can’t sleep
I think Jimmy and Skizz would be fun to have on a team for the next life series
The Plate Up streams show they have good chemistry, but think about Skizz's death at the end of limited life. Sacrificing himself so his friends will live longer
Now imagine if he did that for Jimmy. The man who perma-killed him for the first time sacrifices himself to break the canary curse.
Have you read The H Word: Bringing the Horror Home, by Dale Bailey? It's a little post on the internet that I like to chew on a lot
it didn't sound familiar, so I looked it up, but I think I have! I might have read it back when I was deep DEEP into a haunted house fixation (prompted by Jacob Geller's Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House video essay, which plays in my head rent free)
The H Word: Bringing the Horror Home, by Dale Bailey
and to follow that up, may I in return offer my favorite excerpt from Kitty Horroshow's Anatomy (which is about. a fucked up house)
There is an important distinction that must be drawn between the words dissection and vivisection. A distinction that would appear to be lost on you. Your purpose was to listen and yet at every turn you have pried, you have prodded and you have interfered. Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt? And still you harass. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settled on a sleeper's tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this. When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth.
do u ever think about how strangelove wanted to implement the boss’ ideals onto her child so he could be theirs. and do u ever think abt how hal ended up accomplishing the boss’ dream without strangelove telling him abt it. do u ever think abt how he really was their child . im gonna weep
