#they’re not good by any means
Text
After years of being told I sucked at drawing by my teachers and peers, I told my brother I wanted to teach myself how to draw in my own style so I can express my headcanons and hyperfixations instead of trying to write when my brain won’t let me. He bought me my very first sketch book and pencils for Christmas which I’ve already decorated, and Tina Ruth Belcher is presiding. Sounds lame, but I’m so proud of myself🥹🩵
#I literally mentioned it to him one time he’s so cute😭#my adhd has made writing a real struggle recently#and that’s usually my main creative outlet#I’m too tired with work and health stuff has been weird so my mind is mush#I also drew Kuchi Kopi but didn’t photograph him yet :(#I’ve been sat with my parents for a solid 2 hours drawing some of my favourite characters I’m so relaxed#they’re not good by any means#but I’ll find my own style in time#just gotta be patient🥰#bobs burgers#tina belcher#christmas gift#christmas presents#sketchbook#amateur artist#finding my style

How to kiss someone
Close ups under cut
I don’t really. Have much to say about this. Something something. Beauty in the horrors of the facility. And in each other. And in the things wearing your face. And in the things trying to remove your face.

one of my least favorite trends is when people bring pride flags to concerts with the expectation of not only getting special attention, but that the artist will parade the flag on stage. why does everything have to be about sexuality and gender? can you not live for one moment without seeking validation? can you not enjoy anything that’s not explicitly about you?
#also just because they hold your special little flag up doesn’t mean they actually care about you#they just win social points by doing so#this isn’t about any artist in particular#it’s been happening for a good portion of musicians i like#and if they don’t hold the flag up they’re villainized

Thinking about the Don Suave scene and what it means in terms of LGBTQ+ representation because my brain does nothing if not torment me with random topics to ramble about on the regular.
Anyway, I just wanted to ramble about why I like the scene but to get it out of the way - the scene can very easily be interpreted in so many different ways, and all of them are valid. I personally see it as Leo having at least some attraction to a man. And the following is an explanation of my own interpretation and thoughts on it and what it means especially for Leo’s portrayal in the grand scheme of things.
Long-winded interpretation under the cut!
Now, to start with, it’s important to me that in the scene Leo looks at Don Suave in the very beginning and then for the entirety of the rest of the time the man is on screen, Leo’s eyes are closed. Yet, in the end, he is still visibly enamored with Don Suave, happily cuddling up to him as he’s being carried away.
You can very easily interpret this as Leo being spellbound and that’s honestly super valid and I believe he likely was at least somewhat in the beginning, but considering how fast he looked away and how he never looked again, I personally think it makes more sense to read it as Leo just finding the man attractive, at least somewhat. (For the record, I personally headcanon Rise Leo as bisexual with a heavy preference for men, but I want to be blunt when I say that any interpretation is valid. Literally any. Ace, pan, gay, bi, none of the above or a mixture of something new literally all of it is more than okay and fair. Hell you could even interpret this entire scene as more romantic attraction than physical and it would still work. Anything goes!! Don’t bother people, guys, really.)
The main reason I take this scene to be at the very least LGBTQ+ adjacent isn’t just because of how it’s portrayed, but because of who Leonardo is. Not in terms of Rise of the TMNT, but in terms of the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™️ franchise.
Leo’s a character who, while changing with each iteration, has still at his core been around for decades upon decades as “the blue one”. One fourth of the team. He’s the one most are going to look at as the Leader, and oftentimes he is the one closest to having the title of Main Character. Not to say the others aren’t just as important, but Leo’s presence in the A plots of basically all TMNT media is often something very main character-esque.
And that’s very, very important to note. Here we have a Main Character of a prolific and decades long-running franchise distributed by a children’s television network. You can play around with his and his brothers’ characters all you like, but there is always going to be challenges to dodge around, especially since this was still in 2018-2019.
For example, you can play around with their designs so long as they’re color coded turtles, but their sexualities? Now that’s tricky.
“But what about Hypno and Warren?” Not main characters and also they’re Rise originals. They have a lot more room to play around with than a character like Leo does. But even talking about main characters in the franchise, you could arguably have an easier time playing around with Donnie or Mikey’s sexualities than Leo or even Raph, as (unfortunately) the former two tend to get more B plots, so they’d likely have had a little more leeway (still not a lot though.)
So, where does this leave us?
It leaves us in a place where outright stating and/or showing undeniable proof of Leo’s attraction to men is very, very difficult. So, workarounds!
Workarounds like the entire Don Suave situation.
To be honest, as left up to interpretation and lowkey and deniable as it is, this whole scene means a lot to me because of who Leo is as a character. It’s just nice when we get so see even the bare bones of representation with characters that have been such a large part of pop culture for decades, y’know? Even if more would be so much nicer, this is better than I thought we’d ever get for these boys.
And, again, literally nothing I’ve said is the only way to interpret it, I’m more than happy when people interpret media on their own honestly, it’s just something I’ve been thinking of lately and I was wondering if others felt the same way.
Whatever you think when you interpret this scene or Rise Leo as a whole, I just thought this would be interesting to think about, even if it was ramble-y, haha.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rise don suave#rottmnt don suave#I lied I’m back to ramble because I’m just#so bad at keeping my mouth shut#or uh#not typing word vomit#anyway- yeah this is my personal interpretation#I believe Leo was legitimately mesmerized by Don Suave’s powers…in the beginning#but even the series’ creator says it was ‘at least PART of what was going on with Leo’ so#idk it’s something that’s been on my mind and I was wondering if anyone else felt the same??#may delete this later who knowssss#pleaaaase feel free to disagree I just like to talk lol#but yeah sometimes I look around at how much media has LGBTQ+ rep in it now and it honestly makes me emotional??#(we always always ALWAYS could use more but)#we did not have even a crumb of this as kids#but also like most of that rep is new properties#and I just was thinking about what that could mean#idk man idk#once again please don’t take this as facts it is VERY MUCH NOT#man I was looking around for good images to use and found jack all#anyway tho did you know Donnie often has bi colors around him and Leo is often dressed in the colors of the trans flag-#okay anyway back to the caves I go this comic won’t draw itself#I gotta spray myself with water any time I go to type long winded essays because they’re not great for the mental health fr

“What do you mean there’s still so much biphobia in fan spaces? Bisexuals are like some of the most popular characters!”
Yeah, and they either get treated like this:
Or like this:
“Biphobia isn’t real” neither are your braincells
#bisexuals deserve better#biphobia tw#biphobia#bisexual#bisexuality#listen not to post this rancid post on bi visibility month but part of bi visibility month is venting about biphobia and that’s okay#long tags#bisexual characters are constantly branded as either gay/lesbian or straight because bisexuality is constantly branded as never good enough#yes harlivy are sometimes fetishized by men who want to get off on seeing girls smooch. yes sometimes these men are the writers of dc#no they do not make up 100% of harlivy content. no gross men drooling over harlivy doesn’t immediately make harlivy straight#harlivy have had queer female writers before. a huge portion of their fanbase are queer girls#just because they are occasionally festished doesn’t mean that they aren’t good bi rep#I see where this person is coming from but no. bc REAL BI WOMEN get festishized by men and that won’t make their sexuality any less valid#would you tell these real girls that they’re actually straight since ‘sapphicness isn’t sapphicness once it’s taken advantage of by men’?#glimmer lesbian content makes me sad bc it’s not even like interpreting harlivy or korrasami as lesbians assuming all wlw is solely lesbian#but also erasing her entire romance with bow. degrading it down to comphet and ignoring bow#like I can at least understand mistakening poison ivy for a lesbian but glimmer?? glimmer??!#biphobic#biphobic tw#bisexual hardships#korrasami#harlivy#glimbow#bi#fucking essay in the tags

“Red team was so selfish looking past the cursed team like that” listen man they were thinking about it often, and had evidence they were cursed too. They were convinced they were cursed too. Bad (with Pierre’s help I’ll be honest) singlehandedly destroyed any sort of civil relations and good faith between the two teams and this shot Blue in the foot when they tried to make the case about them being cursed last minute, about trying to rig it in the cursed teams favor.
There was never a cursed team in the first place, it was all a tactic to build paranoia and that feeling of betrayal and to get them to tear eachother a part. And it worked super well! At the end, neither would listen to the other about their evidence, not with an honest open ear, not with the willingness to think the other team could be cursed. It’s not a case of ‘Red just refused to listen because they wanted to win more than they cared’ they thought they were cursed too - if they were selfish, then so were Blue in the same way.
Every time Red had tried to talk first early on, it was met with extreme violence - and with Bad consistently proving he’ll play dirty to win, they didn’t trust Blue enough to listen to them in the later game. Maybe they should have listened then. Maybe Blue have listened earlier. The game worked as intended to set them against eachother.
#link is to another post I made back when they were debating about the cursed teams in purgatory and why red couldn’t trust blue and blue#couldn’t believe red. they were both stuck#and bless Tubbo he tried. he did try. but he was just as convinced he was right as Phil at the end. it was about convincing one another#more than it was about coming together and piecing together the evidence. yknow what I mean? they all cared about it but because of tension#and they also could not trust blue. which sucks because that’s hardly Tubbo’s fault but yknow#I dunno. it’s not simple like that. it’s not a case of red blowing it off being selfish not caring. they also thought they were cursed#AGAIN I’ll say it again bad burning bridges fucked a lot of them over for when diplomacy had to win because there could not be benefit of#the doubt or good faith or any sort of trust#it’s not just cut and dry red wanted to win more or blue wanted to win more. it was complicated and had way more factors#red thought they were cursed too!! they had solid evidence for this too!!#and like. again it’s a case of both parties kinda suck purgatory sucked it was always going to be like that because the game worked as#intended#idk. blue should have listened to red early on. red should have listened to blue later on. they were never going to do that on either side#idk from Tina’s pov it’s understandable why she said what she said. but knowing the others pov and what actually went down that’s not what#happened at all yknow?#they’re all gonna be feeling the effects of ‘we killed and betrayed eachother for two weeks’ for a while to come#mcyt#qsmp#qsmp purgatory#z speaks

Actually, Daniela is the nice sister.
Bela is mean, and bossy. She loves being in charge and expects everyone to do to her bidding and she isn’t afraid of using her sharp tongue to put anyone in their place. Definitely not one to be messed with. But she is okay as long as rules are followed and she can appear sane and normal.
Cassandra is mean and a little bit crazy. She just has this gleam in her eyes where you know she isn’t one to mess with. She can snap, unprovoked. She can get violent and does things without an a ounce of fear because what even are consequences? They don’t exist in her books and she takes joy in scaring others so this is kinda her brand now. She loves how intimidating she appears and she takes pride in it. It’s not all for show though, as she can actually deliver because girly is resourceful and can easily end someone if she so desires.
Daniela is delusional but this is as far as it goes. Aside from that, she is actually nice and loves to meet people and make friends, in hopes that she will find her true love one day. She doesn’t go into attack mode unless she is given a reason to. Mostly, she is content spending her time bonding with others and not scare/threaten them. Even in school, while her sisters ARE the known mean girls, she actually was never called that. She’s nice to everyone and doesn’t snap / lash out for no apparent reason.
#headcanon#house dimitrescu#cassandra dimitrescu#daniela dimitrescu#bela dimitrescu#resident evil village#resident evil 8#re8#babies#being the youngest dani has a lot of work to do so people can see her for who she is#her sisters are just so mean???? but she is a baby and doesn’t want to bully anyone even if it was an accident#but she knows when any trouble arises her sisters will be by her side and most likely end up killing someone’s bc of her#like they tease her a lot but the second anyone tried anything funny with their baby sister it’s someone’s funeral#Cassie is out of control crazy and no one is there to stop her#bela isn’t any better but she does the talking while Cassie does the action#they’re a good team like that

Not to be dramatic but since hiori is blasian in canon I need black x readers asap🗣️ like we are DEF not getting any cultural background on this kid (because they just slid it in there like we weren’t gonna recognize in the first place)not that we have any background on any of these children’s parents but I think he should explain how he feels being mixed in Japan because it’s just really funny having these two in the exact same anime, and they are both black 
This is ABSOLUTELY hilarious 😭
Edit: so I’ve noticed a pattern of EVERY character looking like their mother and barely sharing any resemblance to their fathers so ig he gets a pass for being pale BUT there’s even more melaninated characters so let’s give him some sun too!!🥺
Respectfully; come the fuck on
#blue lock#hiori yo#blue lock hiori#bllk hiori#hiori x reader#blue lock x reader#like I’m most likely gonna do some thing myself#but like the fact that I found out from Twitter#I am once again asking if it is a nod to like being white passing#like is he not supposed to look black because of that#he don’t look like his parents where did his dad come from? Did he immigrate to Japan? Is he Afro American ? Is he Nigerian?#like they’re doing so good on representation so far please.#IT HAS TO BE ON PURPOSE#BC LEO OR WHAYEVER HIS NAME IS IS THERE AND SHIDOU AND TYE OTHER BLACK GUY#I’m literally choosing to believe that it’s on purpose#I am reaching for Atoms I’m not grasping at straws!!#he says he feels like he doesn’t belong so does he mean displaced from two cultures or just one?#what about his extended family is he allowed to talk to them since they’re so suffocating?#I feel like this is a very real thing black kids relate to you can’t just give me him and not tell me shit about him.#if I catch up in the manga and I don’t get any more details I’m going to start chewing lava#Filling in the blanks on his backstory on God#does he just know English and Japanese?#He has a very specific dialect of speaking so is it from knowing a different type of language??#aave mixed in???#French is a very prevalent language in Africa. Does he know a little French?#CREOLE??#like please sad backstory aside who the fuck is he!!#does he get to interact with any of the other black characters??#HIM SHIDOU AND LOKI CAN HE BESTIES LIKE COME ON!!#im in so much pain I’m reading ahead of where I am

the mood is still like this pic of reol, femme fatale’s writer, in between the chuuoku seiyuu btw lmao
#vee queued to fill the void#reol’s thing is praying hands emoji but i see that look in her eyes LOL#having a holy moment fr lol and yeah i feel the same opening up my pics to look at stage chuuoku lol#i am so curious how the stage is about to interpret chuuoku lol i saw one post in the wake of the drop#that reminisced on the 10th live and watching the three of them stand as one as the series antagonists#and hoping that despite them being the villains they won’t be depicted as sheer villains by the story#like the chuuoku women are not good people by any means (except nemu she’s trying her best lol)#but they’re still sympathetic people shaping a world against one that shaped them and it was very profound lol i don’t disagree#this is making me want to ramble about canon lol but i hope the stage crew puts in as much thought into who the chuuou ladies are#as they do the og divisions lol i’m kinda expecting something closer to late game otome and anime ichijiku lol#and as for nemu i hope she’s already free from her brainwashing lol#honobono inori and tsukuyomi might be narrative foils for our main three the possibilities are endless it’s so exciting lmao

I 😤HATE🤬 the Royal Family but I can’t help but feel kind of bad for Kate Middleton because like… yes people were being super invasive about her whereabouts and making memes but that’s all because Kensington was doing the absolute fucking worst PR I’ve ever seen in human history for literally no reason like what the fuck was that all about with the obviously heavily Photoshopped pictures 😭 And letting her take the blame for it! And now it turns out she has cancer like jeez things are Not going Miss Catherine’s way lately are they
#I get she needed privacy but omfg why the fuck did they think any of that was a good idea#Of COURSE people were going to be suspicious and ask questions#In terms of hatred I have for the Royals she ranks lower on the list so#I will be nice to her during this trying time#The Royals are wankstains and this is another example of it#Throwing a sick woman under the bus yeesh#If they’re gonna be mean to a sick person be mean to Charles he’s like 2nd place on the list#For legal reasons that’s a joke#Anyway I genuinely hope Kate gets better (and follows Meghan’s path and gets tf out of there)#Hope her kids are alright too#kate middleton#british royal family#royal family#uk politics#british politics#tw cancer

I had a minor surgery/procedure today I was super nervous about but everything went well!!! everyone was so attentive and nice, it made the experience an absolute breeze and I felt really comfortable and reassured ;;_;; couldn't ask for a better care team!!!
just got a couple days of healing ahead but super blown away...just had to share it out into the world!!! the care team even wrote me a handwritten note and added it in to my stuff ;;_;;
there has been A LOT of personal stuff going on the last couple months but finally getting to chip away at stuff, and getting medical providers that are helping eith the burden... I'm extremely lucky and thankful to have that experience !!!! can’t wait to get back to art…. can’t wait to hopefully feel some kind of relief soon!
#personal#update#there’s been way more stuff going on that’s been the cause of the radio silence and tbh just being a bit burnt out#and focusing on surviving the day to day#but also i can’t believe i’ve been working my day job for a year now ???? time is going So Fast#also extremely lucky everyone at work is so understanding and even with this surgery and stuff they’re like yeah dude rest up#take your time and take another day or two if ya need it#feels nice after so many years of fighting to finally have a medical team that is supportive#and a job that’s flexible#not perfect by any means but wow so helpful#i have a good network rn and i feel extremely lucky!!!#not to mention the moral support my friends have been thru this#ANYWAY IM SAPPY !!! i’ll shut up now lol#thank u for the support everyone#i’ll be back soon ✌🏽

if you have dreams of one day being a spouse & having a family, but the thought of actually praying for that makes you feel ashamed, as if it’s presumptuous of you not to assume God wants you to be single forever, then you’re in the wrong mindset my dear
#- HK#@ me#I don’t think ppl realize that telling young people they’re making an idol of marriage (when they AREN’T) cultivates shame and embarrassment#and it falls right in line with what the culture is telling them about marrying young or having children at all#so not only are their good desires being shamed by their elders they’re also being shamed by their peers for even so much as expressing it#Christianity#mobile#x#I mean we shouldn’t assume God’s will in any case BUT#it makes a lot LESS sense logically to assume He wants you to be single forever#because not only do the majority of people get married#it’s necessary for the majority of people to marry in order for a human society to…keep going ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is your reminder that 99.9% of employers care more about money than you and even if they are kind and fair now they WILL at the end of the day put profits over your well being so absolutely do not sacrifice your life for them.
#and by life i mean time really#do your job to its exact description#do not make things too difficult for your fellow workers#you can even work hard if you want to#but do not undervalue your time or your mental and physical well being#this is a mistake i made in my first job#the stress of that job triggered my (undiagnosed) crohns so bad i was hospitalized twice#and my boss asked me to work from my hospital bed#while also not giving me sick time and not paying me well#in my previous post that coworker has been working there at least 15 years#never caused any problems went above and beyond#was a fucking backbone of the company#and is getting tossed out bc management is fucking moronic#they’ll be fine they’re so great they’ll get a much better job i’m certain#and previous management loved them SO much and did try to take really good care of them to keep them from leaving#but in the end stupid financial decisions will always come before employee we’ll begin#being#so never give too much of yourself to a job and always keep your resume updates#also don’t be afraid to leave nasty reviews on yelp or glassdoor and also maybe key your boss’ car
