Isabelle I Literally Have No Idea What You’re Talking About

Muriel (good omens) and Janet (the good place) give me the same energy in a way I can't quite explain...

1st oc: hi im just a normal highschooler im kinda depressed but i swear im not a mary sue

30th oc:

rating tf2 ships instead of doing English because writers block part 1: SCOUT!!

1. Scout/Pyro (Flashfire) - 10/10

honestly? love this ship. mwah mwah. I think these two would have a unique build up to a relationship. Scout being intimidated at first by Pyro (then realizing Pyro is actually pretty chill), and Pyro genuinely wanting to befriend Scout because he’s funny and pretty.

I see Pyro as being able to keep up with Scout’s hyperactive nature, but also being able to coax out a calmer side. Scout has trouble understanding his own emotions and expressing them (being very emotional and fearful of what others may think of him for that) and pyro is very patient and loving. They’re both chaotic, loving, expressive, and have a need to be understood and not disregarded by assumptions.

I see pyro as being very open to physical touch, but won’t actively initiate it. I think pyro would prefer quality time and acts of service. their main love language being gift giving and quality time. scout on the other hand I could see preferring quality time and physical touch (but having to be the one to initiate it), but would outwardly express words of affirmation and gifts.

Whenever I think of these two I think of their relationship being very soft. Yeah they’re chaotic and dangerous, but I can see them being very soft with one another. Scout talks a lot and Pyro listens. Pyro talks a lot and Scout listens. I think their relationship wouldn’t be established for a good while, until Scout one day just asks if they’re dating or not while they’re cuddling and watching some action movie.

I think they’d have stupid nicknames. Well on scout’s part, I don’t think pyro would make nicknames. Scout would still call them mumbles, chucklehead, and other stupid stuff, but he’d say it in a very affectionate way.

Pyro would definitely without thinking link their pinkies together when they’re near one another. It flusters Scout every single time, without fail. Scout uses flirts and pick up lines and Pyro is unaffected by them(though finds it hilarious when Scout trips over his words). If anything, they find scout’s attempts funny but prefer when he’s just being real and down to earth, rather than trying to “puff” himself up, and when he seeks out Pyro for comfort and touch. Whether it just be to hold hands or lean on.

2. Scout/Soldier (All American Offense/Batting Helmet) - 7/10

I’m kinda unsure how I feel about this ship!! I give it a high rating because i think it could be unique and these two would definitely be fun together. I’m not sure if I could ever see them being in an established romantic relationship, but I could see them being in a close relationship which isn’t exactly anything labeled.

Unlike flashfire I can see their relationship being very hyper rather than soft. They’re both reckless and loud which definitely leads to both of them making bad decisions which Spy or Demo have to get them out of. They’d definitely bond and strength their relationship over their love of adrenaline. Both, Soldier and Scout are so SO loving, and I definitely think they’d put their all into a relationship and both constantly try to impress the other. Especially on the battlefield, I can see them yelling for the other and going ‘did you see that?!’ Or ‘that was for you!!’ kinda thing. You kill one of them? Within seconds you’re killed by the other.

I do think their relationship would be a bit rocky at times due to miscommunication on both sides. Soldier and Scout tend to run into things without thinking, making plans on the go, and misinterpreting things. If they were to establish any sort of partnership they’d have to work on communicating. Both of them would have to work on not only their communication skills but also their emotional responses to things. Both of them are very prone to emotional outbursts/irritation which they’d have to work on.

However! It’s evident both mercs are so loving and aware of others emotions. I think in a relationship, Scout would stop making joking insults which Solly wouldn’t understand, and would ask Solly more questions about himself rather than his stories. Of course!! Scout and Soldier would 100% bond over stories of crushing people’s skulls, and be so hyped to hear about the other’s experiences. However the curiosity towards him as a person and his interests other than war I think would startle and slightly scare Soldier at first honestly.

Overall I think they’re relationship would be very fluid and interesting to work with. They’re love language would be far from conventional: wrestling/physical fighting(not out of anger), and not outwardly ‘romantic’ tendencies. I don’t think they’d be the type to be touchy or have flowery words. On their own I think both of them could be physical and loud with their affection but together I think it would be more of a casual thing. Maybe an affectionate pet name thrown in an offhand sentence or remark, or a gentle guidance towards a different decision. I can’t see them full on cuddling, but rather being near one another and leaning on the other. At most maybe Scout putting his head in Solly’s lap or running his hand through Solly’s buzz cut.

I do think that as hyper as they’d be, they would have very sweet moments on ceasefire days. Whether it be resting/sleeping in, cooking, or just talking and playing cards. I think with simple daily activities the more soft “intimate” side would be drawn forward. I don’t think they’d ever refer to their relationship as romantic, but I don’t think they’d stop someone from assuming they’re dating, y’know?

3. Scout/Demoman (Hop Scotch) - 10/10

Similar to All American Offense, I don’t think these two would put a label on their relationship. I think it would more be like they’re aware of how loving the other is and how strong their bond is as a friendship, and just acknowledge they love each other; whether it be fully platonic or not.

Demo with his desire for touch and Scout with flippant touch adversity and desire, I think they would definitely be one of the more sweeter duo and outwardly affectionate. They’d be more willing to show physical affection in front of others, like hugging, kissing, cuddling, those kinda things.

Scout would be so excited to learn about Demo’s culture and it would be oh so sweet. Demo is patient and more than happy to share his Scottish culture with any s/o he has. He shares cultural dishes while Scout shares dishes his ma used to make. For both Scout and Demo family means a lot, which is something I think would definitely strengthen their bond, along with both of them being openly emotional and willing to share their issues with one another (of course that would take time).

Demo willingly hearing out Scout without making him feel stupid and Scout listening to Demo’s turmoil and validating his feelings. I definitely think their relationship would work since I imagine Demo actively reminding Scout that he sees him as an equal and doesn’t look down on him at all. Which helps since Scout is very self conscious. In return, Demo is equally self conscious and struggles with self image, which Scout counteracts by constant verbal affection and being able to talk Demo through it. I think they’re relationship would lean very heavily into verbal and physical affection. Demo finds it funny whenever Scout hypes him up. Scout in term gets really embarrassed when Demo says anything sweet to him, but also determined to show off.

I see Demo as being open to physical contact and craving it, but always makes it obvious and asks if he can touch Scout before doing so, something Scout appreciates immensely. That being said, I do think that with Demo, Scout would be very more physically affectionate compared to some of the other ships. I just see them being a very go with the flow relationship which leaves Scout feeling more than comfortable with touch when it comes to Demo. Anyway they’re really cute and sweet and both deserve love and happiness and I wanna see more of them.

4. Scout/Medic (Blunt Trauma/Quick Fix) - 10/10

Hands down, I adore this duo. They’re absolutely adorable and love mediscout shippers. I went over their duo a little bit in a few posts ago, but I love the idea of both of them being equally fascinated by the other.

Scout always being the first to go see Doc and volunteering for experiments. Medic being enthralled by how healthy Scout is and finding him beautiful, both inside and out. I think this duo has a lot of potential, especially with metaphors and love that goes deeper than what is associated with the term. Their relationship could be very poetic. I do think these two would start off with a very awkward relationship, and this sense of awkwardness never really leaves it which adds to their charm as a duo.

I think it would start with Scout developing a bit of a puppy crush, finding Medic handsome and amazing in terms of skill. Scout being outwardly very awkward and loving (constantly following medic to infodump and talk about anything and everything just to get a convo going) and getting flustered by Medic who could just be standing there. Medic in turn I think would pick up on the little crush scout has and find it endearing but not think much of it. More than willing to talk to Scout about his ideas and thoughts, but never thinking he’d regard Scout in a romantic manner. I don’t think Medic would realize he had feelings for Scout until someone pointed it out. Engie says to him how he gets a fond look in his eyes and his entire demeanor just softens. Which gets Medic thinking and he just goes ‘oh shit’. Once the realization is there, I think Doc would become equally as or even more awkward and nervous than Scout. He’d still ask scout for help with certain things or lion for him to make conversation, but he’d fumble with his words more and be more mindful/careful of how he handles the other in surgery.

Anyway they’d probably establish their relationship through the help of others, which leaves Scout asking bluntly and awkwardly if they could establish something and Medic agreeing. From then on it’d be a bit more smooth sailing. One of the only issues I could see them running into a lot of times could be fear for the other. Medic fearing Scout getting so hurt that even he couldn’t heal him, or Scout somehow hating or failing out of love. Scout on the other hand would fear Medic dying rather than getting hurt and the idea of doc ever finding him annoying rather than endearing.

Both of them having issues with touch, some days loving it and other days hating it, i think physical aspects of a relationship like any sort of touch would be very special and a huge sign of trust. Whether it be Medic studying Scout’s heart or Scout gently rubbing under Medic’s eyes.

They would have cute nicknames for one another and I think their relationship would be very sweet and poetic.

Overall I love their dynamic and want more soft stuff of them. (Plus the idea of the man who outsmarted the devil being with god’s gift is SO hilarious to me.)

5. Scout/Sniper (Speeding Bullet) - 7.5/10

Honestly? I think they’re cute but similar to earlier ships mentioned I don’t think these two would ever put a label on their relationship. It’s not my favorite but I’m not against it, the art of them is adorable.

I’ve mentioned before how I believe their friendship is finding freedom and normalcy in the other which is something that would stay in any relationship they have. I don’t think they’d change anything about the way they interact with one another even if they were officially dating. It would still be very laid back and loose in a way.

I don’t know if they’d do very romantic things, maybe a few chaste kisses and laying on the other as a weighted blanket, but otherwise i can’t see them having a very touchy relationship. I think in terms of romance their bond would be: feeling so much love and fondness for another person and being okay with it and not wanting to change the relationship beyond what it is.

They find freedom in the other and just kinda go with it, y’know? I can see them more being a QPR than a standard romantic relationship.

For the last few:

Scout/Engie and Scout/Heavy

Personally I can’t see either relationship being romantic or anything other than platonic. I think scout sees heavy as an older brother and Heavy views scout as a younger brother, and it being unable to go beyond that.

On the other hand for engie, I just personally can’t see engie with many people. I’ve always regarded engie as aroace, which while he could have a relationship, I can’t see him actively seeking or desiring one. Plus I’ve mentioned before how I think engie and scout would have a rather rocky-unsure relationship which would need heavy communication.

Overall!! Scout is so loving and deserves love!!

I’ll do the next merc later!!!

The 2012 turtles would love the Rise turtles and here's why

"The 2012 turtles would be appalled at how childish the Rise turtles are" this "The 2012 gang would look down on the Rise gang because of how they deal with things" that

ALL of you are wrong!!!! The 2012 turtles would take one look at the Rise tots and kill anyone that LOOKED at them wrong!! The 12 tots may be 18 and traumatized and more serious and battle-hardened than the Rise boys but as someone who grew up with the 12 boys I can confidently say they would hold them gently and protect them from anything that tried to take their lighthearted nature away from them. Hell they'd probably try and kill Big Mama for the shit she's pulled with the boys! This extends to Splints too, they would SO threaten Draxum within an inch of his life for the shit he's done to both Splints AND the boys AND humanity. 12!Mikey may not have a Dr Delicate Touch alter ego but he'd TEAR into the Rise boys enemies, specifically Meatsweats for TRYING TO EAT THEM.

All of you who think there'd be tension n shit between 12 and Rise are losers if anything the Rise boys would be fed up with being babied by the 12 gang! And no don't you dare try and pull the "But 12!Raph is abusive and would-" NO shut up did you SEE how he treated Spike and Chompy and how hard he fought whenever he thought his brothers died or were in mortal danger???? He's not abusive he's emotionally constipated and holds himself to the unhealthy toxic masculinity standards and doesn't know how to deal with his own anger he is NOT abusive he is TRAUMATIZED and needs THERAPY, he would fucking baby Rise!Raph and fist fight anyone that breathed at him wrong! Don't you dare come into my house and tell me he wouldn't he babied Slash post-mutation however briefly and fucking SWOONED whenever Mona Lisa kissed him or was on screen. Don't come for my baby with your "but he's abusive!!11!11!1!!1" bullshit he is BABY and a SWEETHEART.

And 12!Leo is a dork and a NERD he takes every opportunity he can to mimic Captain Ryan and turns into a giddy fanboy and kicks his feet and giggles and twirls his bandanna whenever he watches Space Heroes, he's BABY. He's silly and messes with his brothers and teases Raph for his bugphobia and takes every opportunity to mess with them, he blows raspberries at his bros like a little shit and trips them when they walk by and aren't paying attention. He is a silly little guy and makes jokes and gets made fun of by his brothers for his catchphrases and when he mimics Captain Ryan. He has a Space Heroes comic collection and scrambles to hide it when someone walks in when he's reading it. As weird as it was when he had a crush on Karai (PRE-SISTER REVEAL) he tripped over his own goddamn feet whenever she showed up and made a FOOL of himself (and still did later when he looked up to Karai as a big sister and tried to impress her). He fought tooth and nail to protect his brothers and went into a blind rage when he thought they'd all been murdered right in front of him, he spared no expense when it came to his family's safety. This man would infodump about Captain Ryan whenever he had the chance, if he met Rise!Leo and learned about his Jupiter Jim obsession these two would spend HOURS geeking out over their hyperfixations. Do NOT tell me they wouldn't because they WOULD. He would NEVER put Rise!Leo down for his jokes and puns because he doesn't do that with his Mikey, he'd rather fight Shredder again than do that. He would be PROUD of Rise!Raph for his leader position and would even give him tips! And if it's post-movie Rise!Raph and Leo he'd hug them both and tell them he was PROUD of them. If you think he wouldn't do any of this in the slash negative way then get the fuck away from me (half joke).

12!Don would faint upon seeing Rise!Donnie's tech and run out of air asking questions about how the mystic tech works and probably even hyperventilate over the battleshell's and he would DEFINETLY do the flappy hands and bluescreen over Shelldon. 12!Don is a nerd and a science dork, he would grab Rise!Don's tech and shake it because of how excited he'd be. Would he be jealous? A bit, sure, but he'd quickly brush that off in favor of learning everything he can about this new world full of magic and advanced tech because why waste time being jealous when he can take all this knowledge home and improve his own tech back home with it? He. Would. Be. So. Proud. He'd learn Rise!Don is a softshell and be AMAZED at how he adapted, he'd probably steal some of his confidence for himself too! He would be PROUD of the Rise turts and would show them off to anyone who asked because look at these wonderful little guys! They're adorable and could kick my ass and I'm so proud of them!! LOOK AT THEM DAMMIT!!! APPRECIATE THEM!!!!!!!!!

12!Mikey would scoop the entire Rise gang up and give all of them a big ol hug and fanboy over how proud he is of them. This man looked a feral Leatherhead in the face and went "Oh he's just a little guy! You're my friend now, we're having soft tacos later :]" which just sums up everything about 12!Mikey that you need to know, nothing else needs to be said. No fuck off he would love all of them just as much as he loves his brothers, and he loves his brothers a lot. I can and will drown you in the evidence I have that he loves his brothers more than life itself and that he's just as much of a little shit to them as they are to him, he is baby and he sometimes treats his brothers like babies. How do I know? Just look at how he interacted with Raph whenever he was scared of bugs, he's a little fucking shit and I stand by that. He snapped Raph out of a bug-induced panic attack by slapping him and it WORKED and Raph THANKED him, and some of you chucklefucks ignore that when compiling evidence on why Raph is "abusive". If 12!Raph is abusive then I'm the goddamn fucking Grinch and I will die on this goddamn hill.

Do the 12!Tots have some unhealthy dynamics to their relationship with each other? Sure, but every family has that. If you try and tell me there's not at least ONE unhealthy dynamic in your family you're lying to me AND yourself. What you need to remember about the 12 brothers is they are child soldiers are were raised to treat every moment like it would be their last, they grew up fighting to survive and it shows. They're co-dependent on each other because they spent their development and formative years being told they can rely only on each other and to falter is to put each other at risk, that every choice they make could potentially threaten their family's life and to put their brothers lives above their own or all of them would fall. It's unhealthy but they can't do anything about it because they were taught that since before they could walk. To call them abusive to each other is lies and slander because they would rather die a thousand deaths than hurt their brothers. And when they do hurt their brothers - because they have and likely will again, because that is the way of love and to love someone is to admit when you have wronged them and work to right it - they work to make sure they don't do it again, and they apologize and help each other back up and never leave each other behind because to do so is to doom them all.

TLDR; Calling the 12!Turtle brothers dynamic abusive and saying they'd look down on the Rise!Boys is laughable and I do a little jig on your grave every time you say that. They would put the Rise!Tots in a pile and swaddle them like little babies and coo at them and speak to them in baby voices and get punched by the Rise!Tots for it.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk have a lovely day 😘

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

✨SPOILERS FOR PUSS IN BOOTS THE LAST WISH✨

i really wanted to draw attention to this scene here. puss has quite a few panic attacks in this movie, which are undeniably relatable for so many, but in this particular instance, he has perrito to help him calm down and breathe and i think that's so great.

i just love the way it's not made into a joke, or brushed aside as though it's not something that's important to show - especially for someone as confident as puss in boots! the story actually takes a moment for puss to reflect and breathe and talk to someone about his fear. he's made very real and that was a huge deal for me. (இ﹏இ`｡)

Oumaede really was kind of confirmed woooooow, good day

Update:

I introduced a Jane Doe/Penny Lamb from Ride the Cyclone AI to Soldier and Spy, and so far it seems like they are friends. They keep complimenting her doll and craftsmanship and she’s just happy to be here.

Anyway I think they’re her dads now or something.

currently hyperfixating so

stupid au where gen loss ranboo somehow escapes and ends up stranded in the middle of New Mexico where a bunch of stupid mercs are fighting

or a Gen Loss/Ride the Cyclone crossover au

Jergal, the scribe of the dead, the archivist—this three fates motherfucker who refuses to elaborate on personal questions but waxes philosophical about your adventure, protects you, ensures your success, brings you back into the fray, puts you back on your feet, helps you mold yourself into whatever you want to be, this strange reverse-psychopomp—is the only god who did not reject Astarion.

Astarion, a finicky undead who went to law school once upon a time who is never seen at camp without a book in his hands. Astarion who passes more perception and insight checks than anyone else in my games. Astarion with his mediocre Charisma stat but higher than average Intelligence stat. Astarion who ONE HUNDRED PERCENT probably put together who Old Man Withers was but just shrugged like "I got other shit going on and I'm not about to kick a skeleton out of the closet."

I want Old Man Withers as Astarion's Grampa Figure. Astarion CALLING Withers an elvish equivalent of "Gramps". (U'osi/U'osu?? That's so cute wtf)
