#quick note as well

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.
Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.
So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.
In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.
Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.
It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.
Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#how pretentious can I sound when talking about a fictional turtle more at eight#anyway I always loved to think about Leo’s quick line about coping with humor#I don’t care how much people think it doesn’t REALLY matter it’s fun to play around with tbh#also love the idea that Leo’s sense of humor comes from the protags of his fav campy series#(+ from his confident and awesome big sis April)#like idk Leo’s special interests directly paving out how he presents himself both to others and in general is so interesting to me!!!#he is someone who KNOWS people and their quirks so 100% he caught on to that 80’s style of quippy one-liners-#-and associated that with safety and levity#even the villains of these genres who spout off quips tend to be the ones who survive!#Leo desperately fighting to keep the same lighthearted genre as 87 TMNT as the horrors of 2003 and 2012 loom on the horizon#and I think something important to note is that Leo KNOWS things are real#he is WELL AWARE of how dangerous things can get for them#but he copes anyway because it’s easier to deal with everything that way#bro just wants he and his family to be safe tbh

Your guilt is tied around your throat, frayed at the ends where it was cut, but still there nonetheless.
It is now that you realize that your abdication will forever haunt you.
And as you ponder that, only just thing rings true in your mind at the moment: You were supposed to be better than this.

seeing everyone's responses to the drama on dynamite last night just reinforces something we all need to remember:
you're allowed to like wwe. you're allowed to like aew. you're allowed to like both. you're allowed to like neither and indulge in something else. the point is: it's not that deep. if you don't like something that a company is doing, simply change the channel. turn it off. stop watching it. you're allowed to have your opinions and voice them, but that doesn't give you permission to shit on someone who doesn't like the same promotion as you. us as viewers don't control what happens behind the scenes of any company. we just control what we choose to watch and how we choose to address others.
pro wrestling is entertainment. it's meant to be enjoyed. so enjoy it. and be kind to others, regardless of what they watch. it's literally just wrestling. ❤️
#jmie.txt#this is my opinion! you're entitled to your own as well!#wrestling#wwe#aew#also quick side note: just because someone likes wwe doesn't mean they support v*nce mcm*h*n!

there’s a special place in hell for people who take the time and go through the effort of leaving negative comments on fanfics, like-- what is wrong with you, what is LEGITIMATELY wrong with you?
I’m so angry and so devastated on behalf of everyone who has been harrassed like this and who is going through something like this right now. There’s no excuse for shitty behavior - if you intentionally leave a hurtful comment on something someone created and put out there for other people’s enjoyement, for free, after spending probably HOURS if not WEEKS or MONTHS or longer on it, you’re an incredibly shitty, disgusting, miserable waste of space of a person
be better
#this is just unbelievable behavior#I cannot imagine what kind of a person uses their time and energy to spread negativity when they could be doing something good instead#like why I seriously don't get it#it is so horrible and so heartbreaking and makes me so so damn angry that people are bullied like this to the point that they stop doing#what they clearly have enjoyed doing until this point#it's so wrong and people who cause this - you are the worst kind of person#but be better is also aimed at myself because I've slacked on spreading the love myself by commenting on the fics I love#like pretty much every single codywan piece Glimmer ever wrote#I always tell myself “I'll do it later when I'm not busy with schoolwork etc” but later might be months later or it might be too late#so I'll do better myself and I'll start commenting more even if it's just a short quick note its better than not gettin around to it at all#because fanfic authors deserve all the love in the world#fanfics have made my life infinitely better and the authors need to know how much they've affected my life#and how much their fics mean to me#so I'll do better as well#text post#star wars#codywan#YES I'll tag those because it is relevant

Raph amassing a decent squad of stuffed animals when he’s little and coming up with wrestling matches between them.
Captain Cuddles is the winning face, and Cheech is his long-standing heel rival. Their fights are legendary.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt raph#rottmnt headcanons#rise Raph#I feel like people ignore Raph’s love of wrestling too much I think it’s so cute he loves it as much as he does 😭#but yeah little Raph making up his own wrestling matches between his stuffed animals#because he’s gotta go with the stuffed animals - they can’t get hurt as easily as his brothers#and he learns from a young age how easy it is to hurt#so it’s better to have friends that can’t get hurt! right?#SIDE NOTe#I like to think Raph connects so well with Franken-Foot largely because he connects with inanimate objects so easily#he’s very quick to give humanity to anything that endears itself to him#I wonder if they had a bad run in with humans in the past and Raph remembers it most vividly#projecting on inanimate objects and animals with the respect and care he wishes others would give him

holy moly. just hit 1k. thank you!!
#i didnt prepare anything for 1k honestly#this feels like it happened so quick even though its been over the course of several months#i believe when i came back here i was at around 70? then got to like 200 and then it just went up#800 for the daves i guess. and the few that came here for other stuff#and honestly i dont know what this blogs about now i just wanted to post everything here. and i like the tagging system so if you dont like#something you can mute it i guess? im not big into fnaf rn as theres nothing for me currently. if theres a hw dlc i might hop back in#as well as for any new games coming out#but hw2 was so short lived since the gameplay was out i a day and theres not much to theorize about etc. replayability is fine but#its not something to help me stay. and the movie did nothing for me and im worried i wont like the second either so im just focusing on#the games i guess. but then again no william no interest now. just how it be.. thats why im so whiny about the tse game#lotsa thoughts#on a positive note i luv sam and max now and if theres new stuff for sonic scu over the year i will bring that maybe#as well as sonic x shadow gens but thats a long way to go still#anyway. tldr thanks for following i hope theres something on my blog that will still interest you 🫡

#ooc#annoying!!!#if that was a handsome dude you all would have acted differently admit it#makima is a terrifyingly well written villain***#'prowl it's been months why are you still onto this?' lack of catharsis obviously#you just hate her bc she's a woman#we are at the age where we can't like characters who aren't morally good and clean i guess#i am honestly upset at how the fandom reacted to makima...it is unbelievable#you like geto you like dabi you like whoever the fuck fucky wucky little gremlin villain man#but you draw the line at women i guess#''but grooming'' above mentioned have done worse......and good to note that they're all fictional too btw...just...just a quick btw....#but ok we draw the line there ok ok ok ok ok#discourse#tagging so i dont get yelled at

I was rereading chapter 12 of system rebooting please standby and I found it just a little sweet that spamton was excited to see Kris (even tho it wasn’t them lol). tho he mostly was hoping for Kris to save his hide, I also think he was just happy to see his friend since he’s so lonely at that point
im rlly glad you liked that bit!! :D spamton will always have his more selfish motivations, and i've tried writing him so that if he ever does want/need something from someone else he goes into salesman mode, playing nice and innocent enough to get what he wants. But like they're his friend!! his buddy!! :D!! they're a puppet just like him and they helped to free him even if it was obvious he was up to no good in the first place! someone like that to return to him in his extreme loneliness and confusion would be a godsend, but he doesn't get those often. so whoops it had to be an addison lmao
I'd imagine if kris were to return, he'd be hanging around them and their friends to the point where it got annoying but only because he genuinely cares now and they've given him a new purpose in the world he's forever fated for. Though it would genuinely surprise me if he appeared again in canon (i think he's just gonna get the jevil treatment and be a quiet close-to-nonliving item in your inventory), but in this au hed be harder than hell to get rid of (akin to actual spam) hfjsksksk.
#i'd imagine he forms strong connections with those who give him the time of day#like the obsession with swatch when they treated him with kindness#or giving the thorn ring to noelle in snowgrave as she clicked on his ads#both of them were cons to get what he wanted (access to the basement + neo)#but deep down i think he cares based on his pacifist ending#it's his nature as a conartist as well as someone so beat down by the world to equate genuine kindness to potential suckers#maybe he thinks that if they're dumb enough to be nice to him they'll be dumb enough to help him get what he wants#not a healthy mindset to have#with kris tho it's different cuz like they're puppeted by us#he has TWO beings to swindle but jokes on u buddy we chose kindness anyway#and maybe he can sympathize with that seeing as he was quick to offer the dealmaker to us to help us on our journey no payment necessary :')#god i can talk about his connection and character development with us and kris forever#i'd also imagine he gets increasingly desperate and delusional once the loneliness climbs#just hoping for the most wanted outcome#it's like a hopeless optimism that never dies#he's a living oxymoron#i need to stop writing essays in the notes srry lol#fanfic#asks
