MERLIN FANDOM I JUST GOT AN IDEA THAT WILL SEND ME INTO PSYCHOSIS FOR THE NEXT YEAR+

There's this game called The Longing. You're the servant of a King fallen into a deep slumber, but he'll wake in 400 days.

So for 400 REAL LIFE DAYS you wait.

You can read books (actual books), paint, wander the castle, mine crystals, cry in a corner.

It sells itself as a cozy point-and-click game and some time it is, but sometimes it just feels incredibly lonely.

I'm 46 days into my own gameplay and it just hit me that I can just... pretend it's Merlin waiting for Arthur. I can just do that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with my special white jacket time :))

My son, by the way. I love all the turtle boys. But after the last rewatch, Leo is just in my heart. Hold him carefully, love him, don't scold him. (He scolds himself.)

Low-key, I hate the abusive Splinter trope in TMNT 2012. My boys were happy wit their dad. They always had the most heartbreaking reactions to losing Splinter and fought to get him back. Splinter trained them to survive. Partially out of his own trauma, yes. But he still loved them, and treated them with said love.

[nerdy-turtle-enthusiast]

2012 splinter was the father figure i looked to and respected when my own dad wasn’t able to be there for me. (cheesy i know, but hey, i was a lonely little gal back then)

no dad is perfect. and no splinter is perfect. but i will always be grateful for having this show where it showed me how great itd be for kids to have a dad they love and respect.

the turtles aren’t dumb, and they wouldn’t go out and risk their lives if they didn’t respect their father and what he raised them to stand for. and i love that

I love 2012 Splinter but the way he treats Leo breaks my heart sometimes.

I do agree with the fact that he loves them SO much and would go to hell and back for them, but two moments in particular are hard for me to digest.

One is when he tells Leo (15 years old) that he's not allowed to complain or be upset about his position of responsibility, going as far as rasing his voice to say he must carry the burden alone.

The other is when he appears to Leo after passing away; Leo is lost and doesn't know what to do, who to go to, and again he's literally 15. And Splinter appears to him to tell him to get it together because he needs to be there for his brothers. After telling him (before passing) that he needs to be a guide and father figure for his brothers.

Splinter obviously doesn't do it out of malice, he relies on Leo because he trusts him, his skills, and his love for his brothers. But as the eldest myself, there's always this lingering expectancy that we'll be the collected one, the one who's there for our siblings in difficult situations, the one parents can rely on to take on their parental role in their absence.

There's all this small instances through the show that make me go "but what about Leo? Isn't he a child too?"

The Foxhole Court P.2

I’m still working on putting together a breakdown but the fact that I learnt so much by making this is making it hard every time I implemented something I learnt a better way of doing it which is probably why it took 5 months to build lmao. Even now the urge to rebuild everything from the ground up is strong, and I’m ngl that urge will probably win. Mainly on a texturing and optimisation level though it’ll still have the same structure.

Anyways I’ve started blocking out the exterior and the sheer size of this thing is insane. (65 THOUSAND SEATS NORA??? THATS TO MANY SEATS!!! Damn near set my desk on fire rendering these the fan was running so hot) I will be trying to post more WIPs though, and maybe a fly through animation of the place but it may kill my mac so no promises.

Viewport renders below

Everything modelled, rendered and composited in blender, textures painted in clip studio paint.

Also support on my last post was insane thank you all sm, before I started posting here last year my agoraphobia extended to social media and it’s been years since I’ve been able to post my art publicly.

The picture was conceived to depict Donnie. Because his warm interactions with Raph and the fact that Raph often protects him warms my heart (non-shipping). But I realized one truth. Raph is ready to do anything for all his brothers. No matter how much he argues with Leo and Mikey, he worries about them too. So there you have it.

[iinsectom]

the most unfair thing in Merlin is how Lancelot died a hero and then was brought back to betray Arthur and that's. that's just everyone's last memory of him. Merlin never tells anyone it wasn't him in the end. so Arthur and the knights are left to believe he killed himself in the dungeon.

Merlin is ruining my life why anyone even recommended it to me in the first place

[iinsectom]

How are they the closest thing to soulmates AU I've ever seen in a show? Why are character's relationships so incoherent? When is the blond twink gonna find out about the magic?

I'm on season 3 I'm starting to hate them
