Captain Swap Continues!

Dude, can you imagine looking in your Alternative dimension evil counterpart's eyes and seeing every bit of your self-harming and suicidal tendencies manically smiling back at you?

This moment is absolutely insane. Griffe Noire's entire face is twitching because he's THIS eager to proof his good counterpart Chat Noir wrong that he has any power over him. That ANYONE has any power over him that could actually hurt him, just like our Adrien is forced in basically every dynamic he has to hide away his negative emotions bc it could bother or inconvenience someone.

It's one of the most extreme coping mechanisms regarding emotional and physical vulnerability or helplessness. Deliberately tanking any kind of pain to "proof" that NOTHING anyone can do "could possibly hurt or break you".

This is by far the most unhinged and insane Griffe Noire is in the special. His TRULY worst sides only comes out when he interacts with our Adrien/Chat Noir which really brings home just how much self-loathing Alt Adrien (or let's be real, this is still a reflection of our Adrien too) internalized

Which in turn then made their later bonding moment of mutual and unconditional self-acceptance all the more important for both of their paths to healing.

HONESTLY. so funny that emo marinette was like ugh adrien agreste what a stuck up LOSER and then he was like oh my god hi BLUSHES and she was like fine. FINE I’ll make you my boy toy at my earliest convenience

The fact that in "TMNT: Mutant Mayhem", because Splinter is not the turtles' Sensei nearly as much as he is their father, we see just about every time he is on-screen he loves them all equally. Yes, Leo is still the Daddy's Boy, and it was probably Splinter who named him "leader", but not of it carries the "golden student" aspect. Splinter expects all boys to watch their backs, and he acts as such. That grounding scene makes it obvious. He tells all the boys he loves them, he tells all the boys they are amazing, he tells all the boys they are everything he has.

And guess what? All turtles love him equally. Leo is the most obedient and respectful, but his brothers too accept their punishment without starting a discussion or lashing out (Raph doesn't even express direct anger at Splinter as walks out to their room). They all do groceries for their dad, just the way he asks. They quickly go home when he asks them to do so quickly. All of them are emotioned beyond words when Splinter rouses them to save New York and finally get the acceptance and adoration they deserve.

For all his flaws, Splinter always made the turtles aware that they're loved, and they also are glad to have him know that. It's true that, compared to their other incarnations, the boys and their dad are not such extraordinary figters (though learning Ninjutsu from movies takes a lot of talent), but they are one happy, weird family.

i’m feeling normal tonight. anyways do you guys think the reason plagg is jaded and sassy and hates following rules is because his miraculous was misused for evil in the past and he had a mean and demanding holder who wouldn’t let him talk back?

do they need therapy??

: yes.

im sorry? i dont know. im sorry

bonus:

Where are my fanfics where the queen goes full feral after S2 and takes no ones shit (least of all the Kings (you believed him Louis, over me, and you'll be paying me back for that the rest of our lives)) instead of becoming too catious and subdued in fear of her position

The fics where she says fuck you I am the queen of France and these are my Musketeers

Where she calls the boys her friends and calls on them as her regular guard just so they can hang out and turns her nose up at Louis when he seeths about it

Where she has our 4 musketeers raise her son, the future king of France, because she knows that this county that is hers now deserve better than the type of King Louis would raise

Where she writes to them at the front to check on them and to provide intel on Spain because she was a Spanish princess but now she is Queen of France and that is who she it. The woman that forces her was into the war councils to beat knowledge of Spanish politic and land and strategy into the men that have led her county into war (the war her marriage was supposed to prevent the the first place)

Fics where she gossips and spends time with Constance talking about their musketeers, where she's snubbed by the king at another ball so goes to her noble Athos for a dance instead, where she asks Porthos to teach her how to defend herself, where she teases D'Artagnan about being a baby musketeer so he tells her all the embarrassing stories about the other three that they would never want her to know until she is crying with laughter, and yes, when she tells Aramis not to go because she needs a friend and if you leave people will still talk but then I would be alone so he stays

Because I want all the fics

OH NO I JUST TRIPPED AND SPILLED ALL OF MY TULPAR MEN IN VARIOUS TURTLENECKS!!! I’M SO CLUMSY!!

You probably get asked this a lot, but how do you draw hands? Even when I'm tracing, they look so weird 🙃

I could probably go on and on and on about hands, but here are some key points I compiled! I LOVE drawing hands, and I never hesitate to use my own as a reference
