~A little intro ~
some random thoughts I had while reading Moon Knight (2021) for the first time
Few quick disclaimers -
I'm writing this from the perspective of someone who got introduced to the character via the show and continues to enjoy (and find quite a bit of comfort in) the show. I like being able to enjoy multiple forms of the characters I find interesting. I know for the MOST PART the comic fandom isn't too bad about this and a lot of it is 'a mix of both' folk, but I just wanted to put this here.
Now that 2% of the comic fandom (possibly more) has decided to not be here: these are just sillies. No big deep dives or anything. Just me rambling.
And finally, I tired to collect these in order but Im writing this trying to ease myself to sleep so I don't exactly have the volumes in my hand to check. This isn't like...an issue by issue breakdown by any means.
Also I talk about Reese a lot I'm really sorry
Okay, we good? We good.
Pretttttty arrrttt
Potentially controversial take but from what I've seen Dr. Sterman doesn't get much love in the fandom compared to everyone else and I think thats a crime

I came to the conclusion a while ago that all Marc's are theater kid levels dramatic and comic! Marc is probably the worst about it and I WAS RIGHT and I LOVE HIM.
Soldier! I don't have much else to say about this other than Soldier! I love him!
I don't know how to explain this but. Badr looks like a Muppet. Like not in a bad way. And im absolutely not making fun of artists and what not. But he looks like a Muppet. I also love him. Even if he's a little bit antagonistic at first. Muppet thing is probably unrelated.
I wanna make some Moon dart cookies now. Is that weird. That's probably weird.
8-Ball shows up for five seconds early on and I already love him.
2012 TMNT 😁
The first character I first fell in love with:
This should be a no-brainer...I think you know him. Tall, purple bandana, gap between the teeth, way too smart for his own good...yeah, it's him. 😌💜
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Honestly, Raph! I started the show thinking very surface-level of him; awesome ninja, anger issues, stuff like that. Then when I started rewatching the show, I started to see how vulnerable and soft he could be with his brothers - along with unbelievably sassy he can be. Seriously, dude has some of my favorite one-liners in the whole show.🤣❤️
The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
Oh, this is gonna be interesting...I'm gonna be blunt here, Leo. Don't get me wrong, I like him a lot and he has some amazing moments, but he doesn't necessarily have the snark that makes Raph and Donnie stand out, and the sunshine and humor that makes Mikey so endearing. I love Blue, but he's 4th place out of the four. 💙
The character I love that everyone else hates:
Hmm...probably Shredder. I've seen people say that his motivation is pretty lame (which, in some way, it kind of is) but he's not just a bratty child. He's a really twisted villain and seems to really believe his motivations are completely justified - and you can't deny he's completely ruthless in battle. Really exemplifies the concept of the head of the Foot - and honestly, I think he's a great villain.
The character I used to love but don’t any longer:
Probably April. I liked her a lot when I was younger (the concept of girl power and she's got a potential romance with my favorite turtle? Sign me up!), but once I got older...she really grated on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I like her in season 1; she's an inexperienced teenager who's dealing with the pain of having her dad be kidnapped and is meeting some new friends along the way. Season 2 onwards? I wanted to strangle her. Not just because of the love triangle (although that is a part of it,) but also because she lost a lot of that awkwardness that made her likable in season 1, and just became a cliche girlboss. But she wasn't even likable there; she just felt like the token female character needed to add "diversity" to the group.
The character I would totally smooch:
See my first answer. 💜
The character I’d want to be like:
Probably Raph; minus the short temper, I'd love to have the skills he has and the undying love with an animal - be it Spike/Slash or Chompy. Plus, the sass. ❤️
The character I’d slap:
Well, I already mentioned April, but I like her in season 1 so that saves her. And it's kind of a cliche choice to pick a villain, so let's pick someone that I've despised since the beginning - even when I was a dumb kid.
Casey.
Does he get better in later seasons? Yeah, I'd say so; he becomes less in your face and more...just annoying, but kinda like Mikey annoying where you can't hate him. But in season 2, I wanted to strangle him too - and admittedly, still kinda do. He's way too obnoxious for his own good, is way too gross in his flirting with April (he's not chauvinistic or anything, but you just roll your eyes a lot of the time), and doesn't back up his bragging or anything with actually being likable, unlike Raph.
So yeah, he's the one.
A pairing that I love:
If you asked me this when I was a kid, I would've said Apritello - April and Donnie. Now, I don't shame anyone if they ship them, but let's just say I way prefer my version in All's Fair in Love and Science (shameless self-promo 😅) where they love each other platonically and April shamelessly teases him about his crush on my OC, Andi.
But to answer, a pair that I love? Mikey and Renet, personally. She captures that inexperience as a Time Master wonderfully, and she never comes off like an idiot - she's just trying to find her footing. And Mikey's so in awe of her that it's kind of adorable. They both have that same kind of childish, free spirit that makes me just want to protect them. 😅🧡
A pairing that I despise:
Okay, there are two.
One is the aforementioned Apritello. I used to like them as a kid, but watching it in hindsight is just cringeworthy. Don't get me wrong, I am all for Donnie having a crush (and admittedly, I'm a sucker for the love at first sight trope), but did they have to make it so forced and awkward? And I understand April feeling uncomfortable and not wanting to ruin their friendship about his feelings for her, but that's what communication is. And by not having that, she just kept leading him on and making him think he had a chance - only to either ignore him or just continue treating him like just a friend. It was so forced and awkward and...ugh.
And for the obvious - Leorai, Leo and Karai. Okay, who thought it was a good idea to imply that two siblings could have a romance - and have it be canon that one sibling had a crush on the other? Don't get me wrong, I love Karai; she's bar none my favorite female character in the show. And like I said, I love Leo - but the crush he had on Karai is what brings his character down for me. If they wrote him as impressed by her skills and seeing the good in her from a platonic point of view, it would've been sweet - and added another layer to Leo's character. But no, they went with the pseudo-incest perspective and made us all creeped out.

Thank you for the ask, girl! ❤️

Guys I had a realisation today. I discovered that I'm omnisexual. YAY!!!!
I...
.. I'm not gonna get too into it but I just saw like three posts in rapid succession that has reminded me why I do not stray very far outside the Moon Knight side of the Marvel Fandom.. I..whew..
Andi Vibes...2.0 🩷
Let's just say my mental health has not been in a good place as of late - take college, a general feeling of depression, and a really unpleasant weekend and blend it together, and you've got what's been bothering me.
So to celebrate that I'm slowly crawling out of the woodwork (emphasis on slowly,) have some more pictures that give off Andi vibes. I own none of these pictures. 🩷

Andi Vibes...Again 😅🩷
I know, not a Taylor Swift song? Shocker 😅
But seriously, this is a real good song and is such an Andi song - especially the lyrics "The party's done and I'm no fun, I know, I know, I know - I know!" 🩷
@tinkabelle19 @android-cap-007 @happymoonangel @kikithedreamerwriter @m1dnyt3-w0lf @margoteve @raphsmuneca @thelaundrybitch @jasminarts01
Can I ask you a question?
What are five things/concepts that are the definition of one of your ships?
I'll go first:
For Don and Andi, they represent:
Constant teasing
Being ultra-protective of each other
✨️Science✨️
Height differences
And the classic forehead touch 💜🩷
I own none of these pictures - these are from Pinterest!
Feel free to do the same with your ships 💜🩷
