All I Want To Do Is Write That One Fic That Takes People’s Breath Away And Kinda Lingers In The Back

Invalid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

They’re too evil! - Redemption has nothing to do with how good or evil you were to begin with.

They don’t deserve it! - Redemption is not something that can be “deserved.”

Their actions are unforgivable! - Redemption has nothing to do with forgiveness.

It’s too late for them to change! - It is only “too late” to choose redemption when a character is dead (unless the scope of the story includes an afterlife in which change is possible).

Valid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

It doesn’t fit the themes of the story.

They’re not an important enough character for showing the process of a redemption arc to be worthwhile.

They’re more interesting as a character who isn’t doing the right thing.

It’s more satisfying to let them keep being evil.

It makes it more satisfying when they die.

There’s probably more, but you get the idea.

Remember, redemption is when someone realizes they are wrong, and takes steps to doing the right thing. That is not something that can be “deserved,” it is not something that hinges on forgiveness, and it is not something that it is ever too late for! …Unless the person is dead or something.

@renae-the-turtle it was 03 Leo.

There any crossover fics without shipping the turtles with anyone?

To be fair the heart colors are constantly shifting bc i change the colors based off what character im currently talking about 😂

frankly TMNT in general does a PHENOMENAL job of depicting many different types of subling relationships and ROTTMNT is definitely not an exception to that. *stares at my own siblings* I should know…

Okay so I was giving people the benefit of the doubt about the rottmnt not acting like realistic siblings because I only had watchen the movie.

But now that I started watching the show I can say that I do not agree with that at all. They act like siblings, people who say they don't either are the ones without siblings or haven't actually watched the show.

One of my FAVOURITE things about the Sonic movies is how much care and attention to detail the animators give towards the facial expressions of the CG characters, and this is by far my favourite example.

Just look at how Shadow's countenance changes when after Robotnik tells him what will happen to everyone if the station explodes. Look at how his serious demeanour instantly melts away and shows how he's overcome with distress, fear, and worry for the fate of his friends and humanity.

It makes this moment that much more special because it shows he's transformed as a character as he's regained the care and humanity he had for others which he once buried to cope with all the trauma and grief he endured for so long, and will now do anything it takes to save the people he was manipulated into believing was undeserving of existence.

THIS IS WHY YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL DETAILS PEOPLE!!!! BECAUSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A SMALL DETAIL CAN GO A LONG WAY IN ENRICHING YOUR CHARACTERS AND STORY!!!!!!

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

I miss them 🥺

Actually you’re all wrong Future!Leo from the Bad Timeline™ would be so happy that there is a version of himself who not only fixed his mistake before he had to bury any of his family but also is still able to laugh and joke and enjoy life

Future!Leo would be so proud of our Leo and no one will ever convince me otherwise
