Part 7!

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

POV you dropped your camera

An update from the present day (family web) yokai rumour mill;

The tense air between Big Mama, Baron Draxum and Rat Jitsu is all due to a love triangle or poly relationship gone wrong.

Whatever the case they were all seen attending an art exhibit for promising new young artists. Sources say Michelangelo, one of the artists featured, refered too all three of them as his family.

Lol! I have the distinct feeling Draxum and Splinter would be absolutely horrified by that rumor. (mama would find it hilarious b/c 1, she is well aquanted with the rumor mill and knew this could be an assumption, and 2, he absolutely loves Splinter and Draxum's reactions to it. I could see her feeding the rumor mill even more, simply by "Lamenting" in public about how her adorable Lou had run away with a sheep man 13 years ago and she hadn't heard from him again until recently. much to Draxum's and Splinter's horror.)

Thank you! and i absolutely love Mikey getting his own art exhibit! That's so cute! : )

no one here to talk about how raph’s sense of self-preservation vs self-sacrifice is directly tied to how it affects the safety of his family and i resent that

leo gets dropped off a building, raph all but throws himself after him to catch him, no real plan, just desperation.  shadow of evil, he sees they’re way outnumbered, he literally picks his entire family up and runs.

battle nexus new york he posts himself over donnie as a personal shield against shredder

shreddy or not, not only is he the second mvp of the initial brawling (gram gram is of course biggest mvp) putting it all on the line THROWING HIMSELF at shredder, saving bacon left and right with like zero regard for his own safety. he then has to buckle down and make the choice to get his brothers to safety TWICE while leaving people behind in the span of a couple of minutes, and he looks so absolutely torn up about it

in the movie, he’s the one who sees them getting their butts handed to them in the first kraang showdown and calls for the retreat/escape pods! and then he puts himself on the line saving leo’s life, getting hurt in the process, then getting leo out safely and being captured in the process.

and i think it’s so interesting that like. when he knows his family made it home safe in one piece, when he’s alone in enemy hands and sister kraang is straight up like “let’s kill him already he won’t tell you anything,” raph is just like. “yeah, she’s right.” no trying to stall for time or argue back. 

like his sense of self-preservation and i think overall worth really is SO so directly tied to his family’s safety. which makes it hurt even harder to see his mind and autonomy get violated and used to hurt them imo

the baby

honk if you love the monstrous and feminine

Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.

At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown…?

Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!

I love Isabella so much for this.

She knew she couldn’t save every child in the farms until her rascals came back to free them. But she made sure to save as much as possible. Not only dropped the number of shipments (from around 36 in two years to god knows what), but the children also got to live longer, since their scores got up, too. It’s such a big brain energy to undermine the higherups guidelines and helping her children in her own way, while acting inconspicuous and gaining a better status as Grandma.

Conclusion: Isabella really is an Iron Lady. After all, she’s hardcore.

Fk you TPN season 2.

Here, have some Capital Arc demons.

a corpse… should be left well alone
