The Redemption of Slash

Seriously, can I take up 33 seconds of your time to share how in love I am with this? Slash was influenced by Raph's constant frustrations with Leo back then, and his mutagen fueled mind was so satisfied when he sent the kid flying across the roof of the building. He wasn't just telling Raph to join him because he was his long time companion and confidant, but because he also used to believe a lot of the things Raph said about his brothers, one of which being that Leo did a terrible job of leading.

By the next season though, he amazingly pulls a complete 180.

I know he technically redeemed himself in Newtralized!, but it wasn't until Battle for New York that he finally tried to make things right with the entire team, and of course Leo isn't so willing to put any faith in him or his abilities (he's such a hypocrite btw, he tried to argue with Slash over Pete being used as bait like Mikey isn't right there lol, tbf Mikey's hardly sent in as bait by this point of the series anymore, but still). They expectedly go back and forth quite a bit for a majority of the first part, wherein Leo is repeatedly doubtful of Slash's leadership and causes the snapper to become frustrated with the treatment he receives. Raph even steps in on one occasion to defuse the situation.

Leo's mind eventually changed near the end of the episode though when he watched Slash defend Pete from a laser blast, and he realizes Slash doesn't truly view Pete as the meat shield of the team. He expresses how impressed he was by the result of Slash's leadership skills, and Slash brightens up over the compliment before proudly responding that he's changed from the turtle that bruised up him and his brothers nearly a year ago (this hits even harder when remembering that he starts to believe Leo's words of doubt for a minute after the Kraang captures them later on).

And the cherry on top of all of this? When both teams reunite after bringing all of the humans back to New York, Leo comes around to rightfully apologize for the way he's been treating Slash, even going so far to refute his earlier words by saying he deserved a second chance after all. And Slash tells him to his face that he was his role model, this is peak cinema fr-

nothing is more depressing than washing your hair and spending ages trying to make sure it'll look good, only for it to look frizzy and shitty

alright. got another stupid splatoon headcanon for u guys.

Bowling is a MASSIVE sport in Octarian society, like, on the level of football in America (and by extension, I guess Clam Blitz to Inklings?). Maybe while they were digging their huge underground living spaces they unearthed human bowling alleys, maybe they were intact enough for Octos to reverse-engineer the rules. Maybe they found a TON of bowling trophies and deduced that it was a sport that held great importance in Human society, and took up the mantle to continue the sport’s proud tradition. Octo teenagers have posters of the hottest members of their local bowling teams. Grown adults show up to matches dressed head-to-toe in team colors and lose their GOURDS when the MVP rolls a strike. The amount of inspirational movies about an underdog bowling team rising to the top. The stories of high school romance between the shy kid and the captain of the bowling team. the normalization of bowling shirts and shoes as casual clothing. its inescapable in octo society. and cultural differences be damned they’re going to import ALL of that into Inkling society

I'm thinking about Jason Todd dying in early spring. when the weather is just starting to turn around. before the flowers bloom.

I'm thinking about Jason Todd feeling alone again. when he'd thought he had a home, a place to belong. "did felipe fall...or was he pushed?"

I'm thinking about Jason Todd trying to save his mom. maybe he thought that the third time might be the charm. maybe he would be enough for Sheila.

I'm thinking about Jason Todd dying in early spring. april showers bring may flowers. but Bruce was too late and Sheila betrayed him and he still tried to save her and he didn't get to see the flowers bloom.

da for my normcore island petrichor💛🪴

SUMMARY: blanc and kyle attend your after party.

WARNINGS: none!! :D

COMMENTS: happy birthday @vivislosingitagain <3 thank you for being my friend and for making me so happy this year. i hope you had fun today ^^

“I hope you enjoyed your birthday.” Blanc smiles, his features flickering with shadows in the soft candlelight.

“I did.” you smile back, voice soft as you stroke a sleeping Kyle’s head, “And so did Doctor Ash here, apparently. Drank himself silly celebrating again.”

You try to laugh it off as he snuggles into your hand. It doesn’t work. Blanc notices and his smile turns softer.

“You’re beautiful when you smile.” he says, and your heart skips a beat at his charming words.

Of course. Of course Blanc would slip in a flirtatious comment. As much as Oliver got on his case about it, you could never quite bring yourself to do the same.

“You smiled a lot today.” he adds, standing up from his seat and approaching you from across the small (the too small) dining room space, “I swear, your radiance will never fade.”

You can’t move with Kyle’s head resting on your shoulder, his hand placed gently on your thigh as your hand is buried in his hair. Blanc knows you’re too kind to get up, so he pulls out a seat right next to you.

“We love you dearly, sweetheart.” Blanc places his hand over your free one and intertwines your figures. You forget how to breathe for a second.

“Happy birthday. It’s an honor you spent it with us.”

With the way the world starts spinning, you’re convinced you’ve also had too much to drink. Except you know that’s not the case, because you’re so very aware of Kyle’s warmth on your left and Blanc’s soft smile on your right and oh, how your heart is fluttering like mad.

You’re so in love with them. So, so in love with them.

And when you look at the two of them, you know in your heart they love you too.

The cake rests half-eaten at the table as the three of you end up falling asleep there, ready to wake up with cramps in your necks and sore backs and stinging ears after Oliver for sure scolds you in the morning.

But you also know your hands will be warm, intertwined with the hands of the people who cherish you the most.
