-I sometimes make suggestive jokes but I would rather not discuss n/sfw subjects in depth pls.
-My rambles are tagged with ‘pumpkin stuff’ and my art is simply tagged ‘my art’
Some extra fandom stuff so y'all can decide whether you wanna follow me or not:
Tokyo Mew Mew
-Pie and Retasu are my OTP.
-Ichimint is underrated. I don’t like zaku/mint.
-I think Pie and Tart are underrated and misunderstood as characters. Pie's not emotionless and Tart's not just a bratty kid.
-Masaya is my boy, and I will fight his haters.
-Quich/igo is a horrible ship. I like Quiche, but he's horrible to Ichigo during the series. At best, I could see them as friends, but nothing more.
Transformers
-TFA is my favorite continuity. Optimus, Blackarachnia, and Sentinel are my favorite characters.
-Sentinel may be a jerk, but he's not irredeemable. Season 3 was literally setting up him and Optimus becoming friends again.
-Optimus and Blackarachnia were my first OTP, and I still love them. The drama is so enticing. Even now senoprachnia is my fav TF ship.
-I also enjoy shockbee and ratchcee a lot. And in g1, i love wheelratch, skystar, thunderissa, moonwarp, and ofc oplita.
TMNT
-LOTUS BLOSSOM IS MY GIRLLLL
-oh yeah I’m the biggest leolotus shipper ever lol
-Every continuity is good in its own way. Y'all are just mean.
-1987 is my favorite continuity.
-I think the writing in 2012 kinda sucks, but it was my first and is still one of my favourites.
-2003 has rlly good writing and I can’t recommend it enough.
-Rise is good too, I just don’t have a personal bias for it, sorry.
-My main ships are leolotus, 2012 apritello, 2003 jhannatello, tnm turtlelamb, 1987 and 2012 raphmona and raphibians (for 87 I ship them as a qpr), and 1987 kalangelo.
-I don't like leo//rai.
-Lotus Blossom and Karai are not the same person. Periodt.
-I can address their flaws, but I am a 2012 April and apritello apologist.
-The day Lotus Blossom appears in a new continuity is the day I know pure joy. And she better be paired with Leo pls pls pls.
-Did I mention I’m a Lotus Blossom stan and have original versions of her for nearly every continuity lol
My Little Pony
-I am obsessed with MLP lore and have been making my own MLP au for years.
-Thorax, Rainbow Dash, and Starlight Glimmer are my favourite characters.
-I have a lot of ships but my favourites are embrax, cheesepie, quibbledashsky, startrixburst, rarajack (not rari/jack to be clear lol), capperity, and sombrahope
DC
-I'm a big Legion of Super-heroes fan. I've been reading the comics since the beginning and I'm currently halfway through the 70s!
-I love a lot of the animated series! My favourites are Legion of Super-heroes 2006, Teen Titans 2003 (i have many opinions tho), and Green Lantern The Animated Series. I also happen to headcanon that all these and The Batman 2004 are in the same universe lol.
Cookie Run
-My favourite game is Ovenbreak! But I also play Kingdom, Witch's Castle, and Tower of Adventures (I'm very behind on the last two tho :p)
I got to THAT episode of mlp and I'm a bit of a hater LMFAO
I like discord and I love fluttershy but they have strong toxic relationship vibes and not in the cool toxic yuri way, more like the "I can fix him!" Kind of way
i need ppl to understand that “boundaries” was not the “lesson” donnie learned in foot too big. he misunderstood april’s feelings. he thought she didn’t want his affection bc he was a MUTANT. he violently misunderstood the situation and that’s why april kissed him
him being a mutant wasn’t the issue
april prolly didn’t handle it correctly but she prolly felt like she was on the spot too
donnie wouldn’t have moved on healthily if he moved on in that episode
while everyone likes to crap on leo/rai (for good reason) and on apritello for being cringe ig
i feel like one thing every 2012 ship has a problem with is pacing
yes i mean every ship
it’s clear that the 2012 writers don’t rlly know how to commit to romantic subplots so they either go the “they are super into each other right off the bat so there’s little build up” angle or the “will they won’t they,, but we’ll never show them actually get together” angle
i’m not saying these are atrociously bad or anything but it can be really annoying in the long run
apritello is the entire reason i got into 2012 when i was 11 lmao so it got stale for me when the show focuses less and less on their development since they didn’t want to commit to an actual subplot after the bigfoot fiasco. they both grow, sure, but it’s pushed to the background and we never see them talk about it. instead we get a kiss in a non-canon music video ://
dw apritello i still love you
with ramona, while it’s incredibly sweet how in love they are, the pacing of their first episode was ,,,, bad lol. the first time i watched it i was so underwhelmed i was like,,, this gets better?? right?? and it did but yeah i think that first episode for sure needed tweaking.
and more mona would’ve been great too. she needed some character exploration outside of her relationship with raph,, like having her talk more with the other characters her age (i would kill for april and mona content). i’m not saying she doesn’t have depth. she does. but a lot of it gets pushed to the background for her dynamic with raph.
they just didn’t even try with mikey and renet i’ll be real. they threw renet in there as a love interest and then kept making her and mikey kinda go in circles with their interest in each other. they’ll be cute and close in some scenes and then renet will act like she’s just humoring him while mikey kinda forgets about her when shini shows up.
i think renetangelo is cute to some extent (tho i do dislike 2012 mikey a bit so that doesn’t help) but time travel romances are automatically rlly hard to write well and since 2012’s romance writing is already messy, they weren’t going to do well. and renet herself is automatically more interesting when she’s not interacting with mikey. like her platonic dynamic with leo?? adorable. my favorite renet is 2003 and she’s not a love interest and she’s so charming!! renet is just a fun quirky friend of the turtles.
y’all know i love a lot of tmnt love interests so the fact that i prefer renet as a friend prolly says a lot about how she should be written gjdkdk
i don’t wanna talk about leo/rai much, but other than the glaringly bad i/ncest issue (both siblings and cousins), they just weren’t very good as a romantic dynamic either?
like yeah i’m biased bc lotus is the only leo love interest i will ever accept (and also leo/rai is gross lol)
but like ,,, with karai, leo saw her as an escape from being a leader so he can explore his rebellious streak. which is interesting! but unlike with lotus, leo was willing to betray her behind her back, and karai was willing to manipulate him to do what she wanted him to. but okay that’s getting off topic. back to the pacing,,
season 1 gets a pass for me since i actually love the pacing of season 1 alone (like honestly, after the cousin reveal, there wasn’t any romance up until season 2 from my memory,, and even before that after karai betrayed leo and the other brothers found out, leo wasn’t into her,, it was his brothers who were making fun of him), but afterwards, season 2 onward,the timing of leo/rai moments were always a slap in the face bc they were always. ALWAYS. right after they acknowledged her as family THRJEKSJDJDKSK
but yeah i think pacing is the worst problem of 2012 ships :p
obviously some other problems too, like sexism lol. but pacing is most glaring for me
There's this concept I've had in my head for months now, of Aya and Razer finally sitting down to talk about Ilana. Specifically, Aya asking if it still bothers him that she based her body on Ilana and if she should change it. To which the answer would be no, he knows she didn't mean anything by it and he doesn't care what her body looks like as long as she's happy with it.
So it especially tickles me how in this issue, Razer clearly does not give a fuck that Aya is in a Manhunter body. He just loves Aya.
