Recently I found a list I made several months ago of Big Mama words that she uses in canon, so I thought I’d share it. (Note: this is not complete and the notes on meaning/use are limited by what I guessed from context.)
- Biddily-boo: auction, bidding
- Bimbally bugs: no particularly new meaning, her way of saying bugs
- Contrapulation: complex object, contraption
- Crackadoo: mess, disturbance
- Dimbally door: no particularly new meaning, her way of saying door
- Fantumptuous: very good, fabulous, amazing
- Fizzy-winkle: mess, chaos
- Fuggy-doodles: thieves
- Hollydoo: apparently a sort of limb
- Malutacious monsters: positive apparently
- Meddle-doos: meddlers, irritants
- Oh, giggily-pin: exclamation
- Scramulent: good, pleasing (occasionally used sarcastically)
- Scrumbulent: good, pleasing
- Silly-billy: silly
- Skanktonious: stinky, repulsive
- Tissle-tassle: problem, possibly a little issue that gets bigger
- Thrashy-diddle: fight
And I organized them alphabetically because it was fun. If anyone has more, feel free to add!
unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway
Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.
So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.
Behold…
✨WORLDBUILDING✨
Excuse me as I go insane over the fact that Cybertron is an inorganic-organic hybrid planet
i really like looking at google image searches for “firemen rescuing cats” or something because you get super cute pictures like
AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE
“THAT’S RIGHT TWAS I that set the house ablaze!!!”
Beautiful.
That last cat looks so outraged that it’s clear he was rescued before he’d finished looting the premises…
Opposite energy of the TWAS I WHO SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE cat.

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you’ve got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they’re actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.
Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise… i think people forget Leo’s overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?
Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god’s green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.
And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.
When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don’t realize he’s secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof “you won’t, no balls” lol.
The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.
