I made this drawing out of spite, I gotta be honest, because finding out about this deleted 2012 scene from Season 5 today infuriated me- LMAO

To think that we could have gotten this in the episode, "Heart of Evil" but we didn't dude. Probably because it makes Donnie look bad, which makes sense because he has weird behaviors all the time around April- So yeah, he looks bad. 💀 Lmao

I feel like they didn't include this scene because they wanted to keep the illusion that they had with Donnie and April in Season 5- Where 2012 Apritello is "so much better now" and their dynamic is "completely fixed" and there's nothing to discuss because "look at them now". But that's also why I kind of love this clip, because look at April's expressions here and notice the tone in her voice?? She's very unhappy and this is very reminiscent of their dynamic in Seasons 2 + 3 to me.

This is speculation on my part, but if the show was trying to imply that they're a couple now at this point with Season 5 (Considering the, "When World's Collide" special / Which technically came after, "Heart of Evil but I'm still counting it- / and the Ice Cream Kitty Music Video that in my opinion got ruined because they included that kiss between them at the end- 💀 Lmao), This would have totally ruined that image. Because if they were together, why would April be so annoyed that her supposed boyfriend (Or almost boyfriend-) put the the team name, "Kick Butt Babes" on her instead of, "Team More Awesome"? 🤨

Also I didn't have enough energy to draw this part, so I'm just going to say it here instead, but this is also gross because of Leo too. Mikey said Team Brainiac was adamant about the name, which includes Leo. I mean, notice how quickly Leo decided to change the subject in the deleted scene- 💀 Lmao

tsundere gf: teasing bf:

We finally got her to confess she has feelings for Boruto AAAAAAAA

Let me just say this: calling fictional adult characters “minor-coded” can actually be incredibly damaging to real people.

“Why?” you might ask. As I’ve mentioned before in my past posts, fictional characters can’t be respected in the same way real people can. However, because of how fiction is being consumed in contemporary society, people have started projecting that same level of respect onto fictional characters as if they were real. That’s where the issue begins.

If you start respecting fictional characters, who aren’t real, as if they are, you’re more likely to apply that same framework of respect to actual people. This might sound harmless, but it can become a serious problem when you push this idea onto others.

Now, let’s talk about the real damage that comes from labeling an adult character as “minor-coded.” If you see an adult fictional character and interpret them as being underage—based on how they look or act—and then insist that others treat them like a child, you risk integrating that same mindset in the real world. Eventually, this can lead to people treating actual adults with childlike traits (whether in appearance, voice, or behavior) as if they don’t have autonomy—simply because they seem younger in some way, even when they’re not.

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

So, like, realistically, the situation is "I don't really want to date you right now, but if you wanted to be friends for like several months to several years there's a CHANCE I will become romantically attracted to you. Maybe."

But I can't explain that without feeling like I'm leading someone on.

So then uh. It's just kinda. "Sorry, I'm not interested" WHICH ISN'T A LIE BUT IT'S ALSO NOT REALLY TRUE

It just hit me the other day when I found out that most people are kissing by the first date and having sex by the third and to me that is just wild. And apparently, some people wait up to three months before having sex and that's seen as like a really long time and I'm sorry but is everyone okay???
