we watched all* turtle media! here's our ranking list!

*we would watch shows from the beginning until we lost interest, then we'd jump ahead in the series and repeat until we had a good overall impression of the show (we mostly cared about characterization and relationship dynamics).

the rankings are not indicative of objective or subjective quality. it's just based on how much we enjoyed them

my turtle designs as a one year anniversary of when i first started hyperfixating on them

i think the witcher makes me feel a profound sadness every night because it’s about all the things we love so much, or that we wish we had, but can never get back. the tragedy of the uncontrollable. the pain of loss.

ciri, despite her youth and innocence, loses her home and family and then she even her adoptive parents, and then she even loses her youth and her innocence, and is left with nothing but a grotesque scar symbolizing her trauma that doesn’t fit her childlike face and a hardened, green glare. and a sword, which is only a burden.

her parents, despite their incredible love for her, despite all of their agony and sacrifice to get her back, despite their own loss of their honor, their pride, their blood — they lose her too. they lose a child, the most tragic loss of all.

dandelion loses his best friend, clutching at his memories like the weeds growing by loch eskalott, trying to grasp the last twenty years to write his memoires.

milva hears her father’s words when she shoots, and his wheezing echoes in her mind.

regis lost himself, his entire life, all the people he ever loved and chased away.

cahir, despite his large family that loves him more than imperial orders, can never return to darn dyffrya, feel the sun on his face in vicovaro ever again.

angoulême wonders if her mother would have loved her had she not abandoned her, imagines what her hand patting her head in praise could have felt like.

and then geralt loses them. all of them, one by one.

and nimue, reading about it all, can never meet the figures of the legend she has obsessed over for years and years… she has her part to play in it, she can know their voices from dialogues and know their faces from etchings, but will never be able to tell them she loves them, tell them how much they mean to her.

even when they find what they’re searching for, even when they find what they’ve desired so — it’s only for a bittersweet moment. they shortly lose it again. everyone in this series is so intertwined together and caught in the same snare of destiny, and at the very same time so very alone and abandoned

Man. I wanna talk abt Rise Leo again now

About to strangle the 2012 TMNT writers for their crimes against Leo <- is watching season 3 episode 8 "Vision Quest"

My fave turtles from each iteration so far cuz lalal

Idk why i am doin this i just wanted to. its my blog okay.. i havent seen/read everything fully but i have moststuff so yeaarh

1984/Mirage: not familiar enough rlly, but probably Leo 1987: Probably Raphael (i see myself in him) or Leo 1990: Tuff but probably Raph again or Leo ^ haven't seen the sequels (well i saw half of the second but i didnt enjoy it so) We will not be discussing next mutation ! 2003: Also tough but Leo and then Mikey 2007: Raph (definitely NOT that Leo jfc) IDW: Leo then Donnie 2012: LEONARDO easily (but i love them all so much). He's my fave tmnt chara of all time actually like i can talk about 12 on and on and on. Like. like lalalala..... i like da way they combine all of the prev leos best traits and make this perfect nardo.... but you gotta ignore erm the whole karai situation to enjoy this character. but anyway all the boys in 12 are pretty miuch S tier if you ignore the romance erm esp mikey like hes lalalallala 2014-2016/Bayverse: Raphael followed by Donatello 2018/Rise: Leonardo but i love them all so so much esp mikey 2019/BVTMNT: Mikey or Leo 2023/Mutant Mayhem: Leonardo methinks But overall if someone asks me my fave ninja turtle im gonna say Leo. Like he lives in my head bro. He lives inside there..hlep........

Worst feeling is when you begin writing a chapter and reintroduce a character and then realize you don't remember what you've done with said character. Did their plot thread wrap up? Is it still hanging on the edge? Did I need to include that specific one or will another character fit here? Silly,silly Dri, now I have to reread mother tongue

i cant even lie 2 u all i am so pretentious abt everything like i was listening to cigarettes after sex eway back in 2017 and i was listening to phoebe bridgers in 2016 & i liked the coquette style when i was thirteen maybe not that that is acceptable or appropriate But i digress. im just saying that at the end of the day everyone on earth is copying ME like all those girls w that one specific spirally ikea bed that they all stole from eachother WELL I GOT THAT BED IN 2018 BEFORE ANY OF YOU EVEN THOUGHT TO. bye. 

i love how in the 2012 designs all of the turtles share at least one physical trait with each other, they really feel like brothers

working on stuff for my second gen (not) turtles au today when i realized ive put more effort into donnies plants than i have into the actual second gen kids

all of his plants have names and a few bullets written about them which is more than i can say for the second gen kids
