Something Intresting About TKO...... The Fact He Calls Carol Mom Confirms He's Part Of KO, And The Fact

Something intresting about TKO...... the fact he calls Carol mom confirms he's part of KO, and the fact he calls KO faker makes you wonder how he was made. He considers himself separate from KO, but is clearly connected in some way

Legit like almost everything T.K.O. does shows that he’s his own person with his own emotions, but still completely connected to K.O.

Normally, when there’s an ‘evil’ version of the main character, they don’t get much in terms of personality outside of ambition and a killer look. I mean, just check out Daybreaker- she’s got an awesome design and a reason for being the pony she was in Starlight’s nightmare, but we don’t get more out of her. We’re not supposed to get more out of her. She’s the villain, and we aren’t supposed to be sympathetic to villains.

But T.K.O. was never really portrayed as a villain? Like, he wasn’t acting like a hero, but he wasn’t interested in destroying or taking over the plaza, or joining up (or taking down) Lord Boxman. Heck, he could’ve gone out to find Shadowy Figure (coughProfessorVCough) to get more power, but that didn’t interest him. He likes how powerful he is now, plain and simple, done and done.

He even tells K.O., in no uncertain terms, that he’d never be a hero without him. T.K.O. is just a misguided edgy hero wannabe.

And even when he was throwing his tantrum, that’s all it was? A tantrum. He didn’t suddenly get it into his head that he wanted to destroy everyone he knew and loved- he was just pissy and bratty and way too powerful. (though I don’t know if he was serious when he asked Carol for ‘last words’. I mean… why would he want to kill her? Because she called him a phase? He’s still a part of K.O., and he’s a huge mama’s boy, and I can’t imagine that none of that leaked into him)

He keeps a consistent dialogue up when he’s fighting, too. He yells at Enid for ignoring him. He tells Gar he can clean up his own messes. He hates it when K.O. won’t fight him, and even seems a bit uncertain about continuing the bout (his “don’t think I’ll take it any easier on you” is a trademark “what the fuck do I do about this?” in Kid Cartoon Lingo)

When Gar tells T.K.O. he loves Carol, T.K.O. stops in his tracks and listens. It’s the same when Carol arrives on the scene. When Gar starts calling him a ‘real helpful boy’ (which edgy mcedgerson over here would take as demeaning, and it can easily come across that way, too) and Carol calls him a phase, he starts right back into it. T.K.O. has his own feelings and ambitions outside of Rage Mode.

Personally, I think he’s been growing in K.O. for a while, and the boy just didn’t know. His fear of Shadow K.O. could have been his subconscious, which would be aware that something was rattling the cage bars (and would also explain why K.O. didn’t know exactly what the fear was, only that he feared it). T.K.O.’s been kicking it for a while now, and he thinks that K.O. is the ‘weaker’ half of them.

I have a teeny tiny AU idea

This say you was kind of a 1950s/ship vs ship au.

So it involves Jasper, David, and Daniel. So all of them are teens in high school.

David enjoys babysitting for families in his neighborhood. (The kids he babysits her the kids are the campers)

Jasper is David’s close friend who is a nice and sweet guy. He’s has the BIGGEST crush on David since they were young.

And then you got Daniel. In this au Daniel is your classic 1950s High school bad boy. He’s always up to something not good. If he’s not up to something bad he’s probably planning something bad. So Daniel tries flirting up David all the time. Always trying to get him to go on a date with him or something. David finds him kinda cute but always rejects his offer for a date.

So basically it’s your basic ‘May the best man get the girl/guy’ story.

PS sorry I’ve been posting here so much. :(

not only does fluttershy smoke weed, the first time she did was at a party one of the other ponies brought her to. she was passed the bong and weakly said “oh… sorry. i don’t smoke, i’ll cough and it’ll be really embarrassing.”

other ponies are like “nah you can do it! we won’t laugh!” and then she was like “ohh… okay…” and then just took the fattest bong rip, held it for 3 seconds, exhaled. everyone is in shock. she then does a weak little not-even cough and goes “ohh… i knew it… and now you’re all staring at me :(” and runs away

That odd juxtaposition of spiraling into your depression because you’re forced to sit and think and not move while your dog sleeps peacefully on your lap, inadvertently trapping you in your mental void but also anchoring you in your happy place

Kinda like coasting on a lazy river while lightning and Thunder explodes all around you like damn this sucks but I’m still not gonna get up not while the pubby naps just listen to her snooze!!

so for those of you who don't know, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD-I. So far, I think my favourite thing that I've learned is the idea of "embrace the pivot".

Have you ever found a productivity system that works for you (whether it be your Google calendar, bullet journaling, agenda-ing, etc), and you're so pumped because it's like finally! Now I can actually get some stuff done! But then time passes, days or weeks or years, and the novelty of it runs out, and then it kind of just... Stops working. It can be so frustrating, because this thing that used to work no longer works for seemingly no reason.

But, that isn't a failing of the thing, that thing worked for a certain amount of time, and that's good! I used a massive agenda in my first year of uni, and it kept me on track for all my assignments. My second year agenda? Barely touched it. Instead, I started to use a bullet journal, and that was the thing that helped me through most of the year. But as time went on, my spreads got less creative, and in the final term, I didn't even want to touch it because it was too much work. So I switched to Notion.

The agenda didn't fail me, and neither did the bullet journal, it just worked for a certain amount of time. And when that time inevitably runs out, you can just say, "thank you for serving me for so long, I'm going to pivot to the next thing." And then you do it without feeling like you should try harder or like that thing failed you.

This doesn't just have to apply to productivity either. Systems, tools, habits, hobbies, coping mechanisms.. They all serve their purpose. It's okay to let them go when the time comes.
