Although Mikey is a great cook, he is not as great in baking, so he watches a lot of baking shows for practice.
I don’t know how this idea came to me. It’s more of a cute thought. Wouldn’t it be adorable to see Mikey taking notes while watching British Bake Off?
He would love Mary Berry!
What do you think would be the turtles' favorite desserts?
Jason Grace Deserved Better
*This is just my opinion. I don’t care if you like TOA
Like most fans, I at first didn’t like Jason too much. Compared to most of the main characters, Jason seemed pretty bland. However, after rereading the books and analyzing Jason’s character, I realized how interesting he is. All his life, Jason has always been the “golden boy” leader type without really exploring himself. After the HOO series though, Jason started exploring more of himself beyond people’s expectations. When I learned about him appearing in the TOA series, I was expecting more exploration and growth for Jason, but it was ignored and he was killed off. This made me very upset.
Jason had a mission to commemorate every god (Greek or Roman) and live his own life. It would’ve been great representation for people who have trouble with their identity. If Rick wanted to add something tragic to Jason’s story then he could’ve done something else. Or he could’ve prolonged his death after doing at least a bit of Jason’s development.
With his relationship with Piper, I didn’t care much for the romance in HOO but felt it was getting better when they both agreed to restart their relationship in BOO. When I read that they broke up, I was upset because the reasoning contradicted what happened in BOO, and Rick didn’t show us (the readers) why it didn’t work out during that time skip. And Piper moving on so fast after Jason’s death left a bad taste in my mouth. It was shown before Jason’s death that the two still had feelings for each other after the breakup. The timeline from Jason’s death to the end of the TOA series was around 2-3 months, which seems a bit short for someone to move on after their first love died. Maybe Piper’s girlfriend is a rebound but I’m still meh with Piper moving on at that time. Also note that I’m not upset about Piper having a girlfriend. I’m a part of the community and am all in for representation.
Jason not reuniting with Leo was so bad. He deserved to see him again as much as Piper. Coach Hedge assuming Jason broke up with Piper and being mad at him was so disrespectful. A big part of Hedge is him caring about the Lost Hero trio and it was disregarded because of drama. I consider TOA worse than HOO and non-canon. Honestly, the series made me not care about the new releases for the series. I’m only interested in the Nico story because he’s at least well-written and justice for Bob.
I’m thinking of writing an essay on how I would rewrite Jason’s character and development but it would take a while and I don’t have the time.
Incorrect Ducktales Quotes #4 w/ ‘17 Dickie(OC), Scrooge, Morgana(OC), & Drake
Scrooge accidentally overhears Dickie come out, and wants to do something special for her. He comes back to the mansion after doing errands and presents his gifts to Dickie.
Scrooge: I just went to Target to buy these-
Dickie: [confused] The heck is that? Why did you buy these?
Scrooge: Because I support the LGBTQ and the other alphabets.
————————————-
This was before Morgana met Launchpad and Gosalyn.
Drake and Morgana are walking to an important S.H.U.S.H meeting, yet the latter notices something is wrong. The mallard vaguely confides about a romantic moment he had with someone (Launchpad) while riding the Ratcatcher. Morgana tries encouraging her friend to go for it.
Drake: I don’t know.
Morgana: Is he cute?
Drake: Yes he is, but I need to focus on my training. I don’t need to be distracted.
Morgana: Yes you should be distracted. Distracted is good. What’s his name?
Drake: Launchpad
Morgana: I like it. And, you know what they say about riding a bike.
Fenton: Who’s getting a bike?
Drake: Nobody.
I’ve been binging the show “Worst Cooks in America” and I keep imagining Leo doing this show. Along with other TMNT fans, I headcanon Leo as a bad cook and watching him fumble in Worst Cooks would be so funny to see. Leo would definitely be competitive and get annoyed when losing since he’s so used to doing really well in training. But, that doesn’t mean he would not still be the sweet and awkward bean that he is. Contrary to his iconic blue mask, he would be on Team Rockin Red Stars with Anne Burrell.
Literally took me a minute for me to be obsessed with La’gaan, Coral, and Rodunn. They seem like a sweet throuple and I need fluffy fanfics to sustain this obsession. Now I’ve gotta add them to my BIG list of fanfic ideas.
I didn’t care too much for La’gaan in S2 but now I’m crossing my fingers that nothing bad happens to him and he gets to see his baby be born. Young Justice writers, don’t break my heart anymore than you’ve already did. 🙏

I loved season 3 and think the crew did an amazing job wrapping the story nicely while only have 3 episodes. I have so much respect for them. I’m asking this question out of curiosity, not to disrespect the hard work done.
My ranking:
Watching & Dreaming
This finale is one of my favorites of all time. The Collector got really good development, Luz’s sacrifice and Titan form, the animation was beautiful, and pretty much every scene brought something beautiful. The fight scenes were amazingly animated and thrilling to watch. Belos’ death was so satisfying and watching him get stomped to death was somehow pretty funny. The post-credit was super cute and I liked the way the characters said bye to the audience through the Collector. The King-ceañera was sweet because I remember hearing that S3 would’ve had an episode with Luz celebrating her quinceañera. It’s sad that the episode didn’t happen but I’m glad it was included into the finale.
Thanks to Them
Luz and Hunter carried this episode for me. I really connected with them and their struggles- mental health struggles. Seeing Camila get more spotlight was great. She’s an amazing mom! The montage of what the crew was doing in the Human realm was cute and kind of bittersweet because these scenes could’ve been made into episodes, especially with Hunter questioning his identity. I liked seeing Vee again and her new human look is adorable. Flapjack’s death always makes me tear up. He was my favorite palisman so it made his sacrifice hurt more. I’m glad Belos got his retribution for all the pain he caused.
For the Future
I enjoyed this episode. Seeing everyone (Matt, Emira and Eldric, and Boscha) was great. I was happy to see Willow get some spotlight since she was pushed back for the past few episodes. I relate to her anxiety on having to keeping things together and trying to always be reliable. Hunter developing powers was great(he has a part of Flapjack left). The Huntlow moments were adorable; they are my second favorite ship and seeing them grow closer was so cute. Seeing Luz resolve her issues was great and her palisman is adorable.
The only thing that drops this episode down my ranking is the inclusion of Kikimora. Personally, I don’t care enough for Kikimora that I would want her to come back. I would’ve been fine with her last scene being in the S2 finale. I understand that she was a secondary character to Boscha’s development, but I don’t care about Boscha that much to say that Kikimora coming back was worth it. I think it bothers me because we spent a good chunk of that episode focusing on Boscha and Kikimora that the episode felt stagnant at moments. I would’ve preferred The Collector having more screen time. This issue doesn’t make me hate the episode, but it is my least favorite S3 episode.
My Ranking of The Encanto Soundtrack(From Most to Least Favorite)
*The Encanto soundtrack is great and there is no song I dislike*
Here is my ranking:
1. We Don’t Talk About Bruno
I know it’s a pretty basic favorite but I don’t care. I love the music and the different singing styles. Plus, it introduced me to the movie. I heard about how popular this song and I listened to the audio and got hooked. My favorite parts are Dolores and Camilo’s, they are unique and great.
2. Surface Pressure
As someone who has anxiety issues and feels constant pressure, this song really resonated with me. The lyrics were also really, and I got sort of emotional near the end. Jessica Darrow does a great job singing this song.
3. Waiting on a Miracle
I also struggle with feeling out of place in my family so Waiting on a Miracle hit me hard in the feels. I don’t have a lot to say other than I relate to the lyrics and the desperation in Mirabel’s voice to make her family proud.
4. Colombia, Mi Encanto
This song gives me such nostalgia on the good times I had with my grandmother when I was little. And the beat is just so infectious.
5. What Else Can I Do?
Now we are at part of the list where I don’t particularly love the songs.
I don’t know why but I don’t feel much for this song even though it is well produced and the lyrics are good. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Isabella that much. She was a good character but I had trouble connecting with her troubles, especially when the way she was handling it was being mean towards Mirabel. I think I would’ve been more forgiving towards her if a reason for her anger towards Mirabel was addressed and that Isabella’s development was not so rushed.
6. The Family Madrigal
Weirdly enough, I’m not in love with the musical numbers that don’t focus on a specific character. I guess with We Don’t Talk About Bruno is like an ensemble song but the main focus was Bruno. The Family Madrigal is a great song for introducing all the characters in a fun way though I wouldn’t listen to it as much.
7. Dos Oruguitas
I’m not a Spanish speaker so it’s hard for me to connect with this song since it’s all in Spanish. Though, it fits perfectly with the corresponding scene, and I got pretty emotional the first time I saw the scene.
8. All of You
Like The Family Madrigal, I didn’t love All of You because it was an ensemble song. There were some parts are enjoyed like Bruno’s little rap and the small cute moments between the family. Mirabel finally getting a door was so sweet though.
Overall, this is a really cute ending song!
Comment your ranking and your thoughts on mine. 😁
The reason why I ship Bushroot and Liquidator together is because plants do need water and saw bits of interaction in the show (Liquidator always carries Bushroot). I also think the relationship between the two is cute 🥰.
After rewatching Justice Ducks and reading some fics, I grew to adore Liquiroot. They are great together and I wish they had as much moments as Quackervolt.

I saw a post on Instagram about how Captain America dying would’ve been better than Iron Man. I honestly agree. The writers intended for Cap to miss Peggy and feel disconnected from the current world. Add those components to his self-sacrificing attitude and him making the wish would’ve made sense and been good. I know Iron Man’s final development was to throw away his arrogance and sacrifice himself but I would’ve much rather him retire with his family and help the world by making inventions for the better of the world and start a new generation of Iron Man.
What do you guys think?
