Thinking about how many musical tragedies feature the narrative almost as a character of its own. Like a force within the story, divided from the characters. Out of their control at times.
Orpheus had to turn around, that’s just how it goes. That’s the way the story is told.
Tony had to go and get himself killed. Of course he did. He’s Romeo. The story wills it so.
Jesus must die. No matter how much he wanted to live, no matter how much the people around him wanted him to live. It’s his role to die.
Alison can’t go back and change the events of that last car ride with her father. It’s set in stone, there in the past where it will always remain.
And then there are musicals like Once On This Island and Ride The Cyclone that embrace the role of inevitability in their stories and find joy anyway.
And then on the exact opposite side of the spectrum there’s the radical freedom from the narrative that’s seen in Into The Woods. The narrator is dead and now the story is no one’s but the characters. And there’s the lack of protection that comes with that, the chaos and confusion. But it’s theirs and it’s tragic but they make the best with it.
Those themes of Inevitability vs. Freedom and the meta understanding of story within a story. I can’t seem to get enough.
I really wouldn't mind a little bit more interaction with the WoL in the main plot of Dawntrail, but multiple minor NPCs have said at this point that the WoL smells of blood, and I do like this.
Mate I love figure skating and Yuri on ice too much these days
Guess who has gotten alarmingly into Guilty Gear recently? :D
This fucker, right here. You will be seeing me.
do you have any headcanons about GHB, chahut or other purplebloods?
I have so, so many headcanons about so much. Please feel free to hit me up on those. Off the top of my head I have-
-Purple bloods are the most protective of their quadmates
-The Faygo Flavor Discussions are a guaranteed bloodbath they go to WAR over what they consider a superior flavor.
-All purple blood have chucklevoodoo but it varies from troll to troll with the Makara’s having the strongest and most terrifying which is why the others made GHB head of clown church.
-All purples can honk and enjoy it. The honks are unique to each purple.
There are more. I love worldbuilding it is my jam. But they will not all fit in one post so if you want specific stuff feel free to slide in and request!
screw everyone but the guy that made KD I just ate an entire box of that shit and I ascended to a different plane of existence

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks
Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages
Oh, my hand
The parchment is very hairy
Thank God it will soon be dark
St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing
Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink
Oh d fuckin abbot
Massive hangover
Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job
Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night
If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral
I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today
Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark
11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again
Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God
If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen
okay but "the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You" is my favorite kind of symbolism
Hi! So, I've been thinking about this request... We know how skilled the turtles are when it comes to battle, and it's even shown that April is really skilled in a lot of things, even when it comes to combat. So I thought of a request that's, I guess, would look better in a short fic form, or maybe something like what you did in the "First Kiss", and it's about how the reader(gn) is anxious about how they might be a burden, "a third wheel" since they aren't that skilled or helpful, and this feeling could be multiplied after the events of the end of the second season when April is said to be a part of the family and even played her part in the final battle against Shredder.
Feeling Useless
RotTMNT x gn!reader
Warnings: angst, insecurity, fluff, comfort, not written as hcs, post movie (like... right after, they're still injured) :))
A/N: I can't believe how much I got done before my break... I'm actually really proud. :))
Donnie
Donnie was laid on his stomach, his arms around your waist, head in your lap. He was grumbling again.
Everyone, including you, had banned him from his lab. Sitting his shell needed to heal so he needed to rest, not be in his lab working for days on end.
"I'm useless if I'm not building something." Donnie huffs, flopping his head in your lap, exasperated.
"You can't be serious." You roll your eyes, the caressing of his head pausing. Donnie chuffs in frustration that you've stopped petting him.
"I'm the most serious I could possibly be, darling." He answers, nuzzling your hand, a silent plea for more pets. He looks at you, that signature deadpan look on his face. "What use am I right now?"
"I dunno, you make a pretty good weighted blanket." You shrug, your tone playful and teasing, seeing a hint of amusement reflected in his eyes. Donnie rolls his eyes, a small smile on his lips. "But seriously, just because you're not making anything doesn't mean you're useless. Mikey isn't cooking or painting, Raph isn't training, Leo isn't skateboarding. Are they useless too?"
"That's not—"
"It's the same." You cover his mouth, seeing his eyebrows draw down. "If they're not useless, neither are you. If anyone here is useless, it's me."
That caught Donnie's attention, frowning at you. "How could you say that? You're the one who fixed me up... You're the one keeping me sane when I'm not allowed me in my lab." Donnie sits up, now sitting in front of you, holding your hands. "How could you say that about yourself? You're not... You're not useless. Not to me."
Leo
"Hey, babe, what's up?" Leo greets, seeing you sit in his room. He crawls into his bed with you, kissing your cheek. Leo tosses some pillows to the foot of the bed, propping his cast up.
"Oh... Um, nothing. Just came to hang with my crippled boyfriend." You answer, trying to hide your insecurity. Leo laughs, nudging you.
"Good, your crippled boyfriend was told to come back to bed." Leo chuckles, kissing your temple. He wraps his arm around your shoulder, pressing a harder kiss to your hair. "But, I can tell something's up. Hit me with it, sweetheart."
"You guys are so... Strong and skilled. I mean, it took seven of you to stop an alien invasion..." I began with a heavy sigh. Leo was always good at detecting emotions.
"All of us almost died in the process, but go on." He nods, his hand rubbing your shoulder and arm comfortingly.
"Even April and Casey..." You continued, shooting him a look which made him clam up instantly. Leo listened intently, his free hand finding yours. "You all are just amazing... And I'm worried that I'm not... Useful."
It's quiet for a moment, Leo's comforting rubs stop as well. You turn to look at him, seeing his brow furrowed.
"Useless?" Leo mumbles, he turns to face you, his hand cradling your face, squishing your cheeks a little. "Absolutely not. You may not be a fighter... But you're always here, ready to help. You learned how to make a cast!" Leo motions down to his leg, his voice slightly playful. He sighs, leaning forward to rest his forehead against yours. "I couldn't ask for anyone better. You're so amazing."
"You may not be a fighter, but you're always there for me. Always here to stitch me up, to comfort me."
Mikey
Mikey hated not being able to do things as normal, Leo got mad anytime Mikey did anything with his hands. So he laid with you next to him. You were rewrapping his hands and arms, seeing him pout.
"I know, Mikey... I wish I could be more useful." You sigh, tying the wrap to keep it secure. You move to his other side, unwrapping the old bandages.
"What do you mean?" Mikey asks, frowning at you. The hand you weren't working on cups your cheek, wanting you to look at him.
"I just... I mean, if I was able to fight, maybe things could've been different. Maybe you wouldn't be hurt." You answer simply, like it was the most obvious thing.
"I can tell you right now that it would've had the same outcome. Not because you're useless, but because this is what it took to win..." Mikey tells you softly, his unbandaged hand moving to cup your other cheek. "You're far from useless cause I need you..."
Raph
Raph was isolating himself. From Leo mostly, scared of trying him and scared that he'll try to hurt Leo again. You were the only one allowed to visit because you never saw him when he was infected. So here you were, laid on top of him like a weighted blanket, his claws lightly trailing up and down your spine.
"Raphie, I promise you won't hurt them. All that alien junk is out of your system." You mumble, feeling the smooth rumble of his churrs. "They miss you..."
"Raph knows..." He sighs, his churrs fading out. He rolls, making you fall next to him, both of you facing each other. "Raph's just... Scared. Havin' nightmares about it."
"You're gonna have to face them at some point, can't stay stuck in here forever, big guy." You tell him, watching as he nods in acknowledgement. His eyes sad and scared, but filled with understanding. He kisses your palm, giving you a deep churr of gratitude.
˗ˏˋ ꒰ ⋆｡❤️ ｡⋆꒱ ˎˊ˗
"I just... Don't know what to do. I feel useless..." Raph hears you talking to Mikey, his heart breaking at your words. "I just want to help him..."
He can't hear what Mikey says, but he retreats to his room, sitting to collect his thoughts.
You felt useless? How? Did he do something wrong?
When you come in, Raph's head snaps up to look at you. His eyes full of guilt and sadness. But he didn't want you to know he'd heard. Instead he pulls you to him, biting his face in your chest.
"I... I think I'm ready..." He mumbles, keeping you pressed against him. "But I need you... Will you stay and help me?"
Wally Darling with a child reader
-Reader: no pronouns used + no gender implied -He/him for Wally
Requested: No/Yes
Warnings: None Disclamer: Characters personality, looks, ect may be different from canon due to either hc or author has just forgotten.
A/N: I don't know much about Wally but I tried my hardest. Also i wrote this at night so it will most likely be bad or not like wally so rip.
^ Made by me
-🍎 When you first came to the neighbourhood Wally was confused on how and why a child ended up in the neighbourhood alone, he was confused and mad, I mean who would leave their child alone in a random neighbourhood? -🍎 As soon as he picked you up you latched onto him like a Koala, he smiled and started to make his way back to home as you played with his neck tie scarf, every time you would try and play with his hair though he would softly grab your hand and direct your attention back to his scarf. -🍎 Wally made it back to home with you safely snug in his arms, home made a confused face at the child in his arms but after he explained what happened home opened the door and Wally walked in, closing the door silently as to not wake you up and went to place you onto his bed. After some time you slowly woke up and yawned, alerting both Wally and home, you looked around confused than you saw Wally and you squealed with delight while making grabbing hands towards him.
"and this is home!" Wally said pointing to home, your eyes lit up as you looked at home "ome! ome!" you squealed while waving at home, home waved one of its shutters, happy to see a new face in town. Wally and you went back inside and he made a bee line to his painting area, sitting down and placing you on his lap he started painting while taking small glances at you every now and then. At some point you slipped off his lap and started wobbling around his paints, Wally paused his painting and grabbed some crayons and paper handing them to you, patting you on the head and going back to his painting. When Wally was done with his painting he felt a tug on his pants, he looked down to see you smiling and showing your picture of him and you together, Wally smiled brightly and picked you up showing you the painting he made, your eyes sparkled and you squealed and squirmed with excitement. After a long day of painting, eating, drawing, Wally got you cleaned and changed into something comfy for bed, you both waved home good night and home creaked good night back. You both got snugged into bed with you lightly gripping onto Wallys shirt like a plushie.
I am screaming lmao also this reminds me of @rosewater1997

Personally, I ship all sinners/Mary but......genai and Mary? Just the two of em? I can't picture it at all 😂
Maybe it's because I ship them all as walking the border between friends and lovers rather than straight definitive ships, but I think Mary would take more of a distanced caretaker position than a lover :/
saw this going around on Twitter and I just decided that I’m going to randomize pairings using all of the characters given profiles in the Chrono Crusade Super Guide (except for Duffau and Lerajie because I don’t care enough about either of them to ship them with anyone) and see what it spits out at me and do this for them. For. As long as I’m not bored of it. I’ll reblog this when I make a new one instead of posting one to the tag to prevent too much spam. Feel free to request any pairings for this too, because considering the fact the first thing I got is Shader/Father Remington (what) it’s quite possible I won’t get any of the canon/popular pairings lol
*responding to the last anon*
Thanks, lovely, I try ;)
(you make me want to grab you in a dark alley and throw you in my car trunk, drive you out to the country side and use you while you’re tied against a tree)
Let’s get married 🥺
a depiction of my state of mind or whatever :3
