One of the biggest things that makes me see Leo as trans is absolutely the size of his carapace in comparison to his brothers’.

And I’m not talking about height! I’m specifically looking at his shell here, because when you compare him to the others, particularly Donnie who is nearly the same height as Leo, it’s very clear that Leo’s carapace is much longer in proportion to the rest of his body.

Like - standing side by side, even though Donnie is shorter his carapace ends noticeably higher up than Leo’s does. And I like this not only because it really helps push the idea that Leo could very likely be trans (or intersex!), but it’s also just a fun design difference between them.

(It also lends way to future scenarios of Donnie eventually getting taller than Leo, but sitting down still has Leo being the taller one haha.)

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #trans leonardo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #trans leo #it’s like 4 am and I’m having trans leo feelings again sorry guys #totally get if other people disagree with me on this! but it’s always gonna be my no.1 headcanon fr #his complexion the vibrancy of his colors staying even in adulthood his general demeanor and this? this hc is LOCKED in my brain #plus the times Leo’s depicted in pink white and blue throughout the series like I KNOW it wasn’t on purpose but damn if it doesn’t help #(his nails are also the exact same as his toe nails/claws but I don’t super count this one tbh) #(even though it is TECHNICALLY another point in favor of trans leo) #(mainly because all the boys’ nails are very much more humanoid than turtle) #(just like how their tails aren’t really a factor either since we see them only in their baby forms and never again) #I really like the idea that he was a female red eared slider pre mutation #and Lou Jitsu’s dna paved how his humanoid features came out (aka a more masculine build and voice) #but his turtle features are all very much more in like with a female res #love the thought of rise bros meeting og comic turtle boys and Leo being like wait you guys are res too?? but…you’re not colorful…… #one headcanon I have is that - you know the cute chirping and stuff we have the boys do? #I like to think that Leo’s chirping actually sounds more feminine to himself and his bros (so he tends to not do it) #idk I love thinking about this hc a lot and there’s no time like four am to talk about it huh? #future scenario has future Donnie going up to future Leo all smug like ah Nardo how’s the weather down there #and Leo’s all like good *sits down* why don’t you join me :) #Donnie: …*sits and stretches his neck out to be taller still* #Leo calls him a cheater but Donnie calls it ‘making use of his species’s advantages’ #but yeah basically for many turtles the case is - bigger carapace? female. smaller carapace? male. #so it’s very interesting to take that knowledge and apply it here #did you know one of the turtles that this rule of thumb DOESNT apply to is alligator snapping turtles? male ones are the bigger ones there! #by a big difference too so Raph’s size makes a LOT of sense

[quinn-pop]

yet another oc that only exists because i wanted to write something very specific

(middle is a little older, hence her scar healing. i like to think she gets a glass eye at some point)

anyway this is mira! (they/she) since that wip is almost 20k words and counting i won’t give away too much but long story short she’s the result of meta going “one last time, i promise” and adopting yet another kid

also galaxia kinda indirectly picked the name :)

i’ve mentioned before that i headcanon that pretty much all astrals are autistic and this is just kinda an extension of that. whereas meta tends to suppress his emotions and conform to others, mira…doesn’t. she gets uncomfortable and upset and lashes out at people easily, and working through their emotions is no small task.

the main reason i chose to write them that way was for the sake of narrative but i’ve grown attached to it because there’s a lot of ideas there i’d like to explore. stuff about navigating emotions and relationships when existing is so suffocatingly uncomfortable. it’s not something i could center around Kirby himself, but i think it makes sense with a post character development meta knight.

they are very loved (omg oldee cameo???)

kirby was definitely very excited to have younger siblings after being used to being the youngest in the room for so long!! (with the like. one and only exception being gooey.) he’s super affectionate with both of them and wants to have a close relationship one day, but for now mira is pretty unappreciative of that fact lol. they don’t like being pestered for hugs

everyone else is okay tho

(i know that’s hard to read. oops. “obvious bite marks”. siblings being siblings.)

mira also has a very love/hate relationship with the egg kid, being so close in age they kinda Have to get along but in typical sibling nature they also fight a lot. sure it’s probably rough for a while but i think in the end they’d be good buddies. maybe not as close as Kirby and Bandee but still.

anyway i have a lot of thoughts and am very busy but. i’m really enjoying writing about all this lately it’s been fun ^^

#I picked a name and then proceeded to write a comic in pen in which i used that name and posted it #and only after all that did i learn that mira is becoming a very popular name. which i generally avoid #but oh well. it’s stuck #im gonna be completely honest a lot of how i pick names for characters is based off of how many puns i can make out of it #im sorry to disappoint you with that information /j #kirbyposting #my art or something #meta knight #kirby #king dedede #metadede #Kirby oc #semi future au #I swear i’ll introduce oldee one day im just bad at having drawing ideas #also trying very hard to not make self deprecating comments over some of this art cause i just. don’t really want to spend forever redrawing #stuff anymore. like I used to do for a lot of these posts. It’s whatever #anyway kinda a part two to yesterday’s post (as in: I made sure they were both ready at the same time so i could queue them together lol) #weirdly enough this isn’t all that different from my dmk interpretation #i can’t really decide what color she is either #part of me wants to say bright blue red eyes because i think that would look absolutely sick but that seems like a bit too much blue #all things considered #maybe bright yellow blue eyes idk ill figure it out later (maybe)

What's in my bag?

Theo: uses his college backpack to lug around his things. normally keeps his bag full of study materials, but there are glimpses of him in his journal, his addictions, and the wildflowers he takes home.

Matthias: doesn't use a bag. he’ll keep his phone with him but there’s little else he’d have on him.

I have… lots of thoughts on milsiril and kabru and the commentary on mixed-race family/adoption, in particular white parents with children of color. I think it’s really cool kui incorporated this into the story because lots of (particularly white) people just think adoption is this pure altruistic thing and don’t think about the negative affects it has on kids (again, kids of color) to not have people of their own culture to grow up with.

#I’m white so I can’t pretend this is something I am able to fully understand #and I feel like it’s not my place to write an essay on it? I’m sure poc could do it a lot better than me #but someone who is close to me is a poc in a kind of kabru adjacent situation #and I don’t want to give details bc this is personal and (obviously) not just to me so I don’t really want to talk about it too much #my point is. kabru ans milsiril just hit me really hard #I really love that kui made their relationship a relatively good one for the most part but she doesn’t just pretend it’s perfect #because it’s like. even if your parents are the best they can possibly be.l #if they don’t understand your culture that’s still a huge loss isn’t it? #and milsirils parenting skills….. definitely need a lot of work even if she means well #and the description of her adoptions as a ‘hobby’ makes it seem rather flippant imo #(not sure if that was just a translation thing tho) #but my impression is that kabru does still think of her fondly and is grateful for her taking him in and teaching him things #at the same time he does voice his frustrations about the cultural disconnect between them and her being ‘overprotective’ #but yeah #like that kind of thing needs to be talked about I’m grateful that she not just doesn’t shy away from it but puts it in your face like that #.txt #dungeon meshi #oh also clarification #when I say kui talks about this stuff I do mean as an allegory #bc while I don’t think it is at all a coincidence that kabru is dark skinned and milsiril is white (coded?) #their skin color doesn’t really come into account here #it’s really the disconnect between elves and tall-men #but look me in the eye and tell me that’s not what she was going for

I’m trying to find a way to parse this but like:

Make up culture is bad because of how capitalism has twisted appearance to be a basis of worth and social value. However, humans have been putting stuff on their skin since our ancestors started losing hair (maybe even before?) and ornamentation does have significant historic cultural value outside of modern late-capitalism induced self loathing.

Like. Make-up is not a thing in my immediate family. My mother and older sister? Nothing. My little sister is going to be so lucky to grow up in a space where she won’t have any expectation or support for make-up culture. I know make-up culture a shitty phenomenon; I know it steals time and money and self-worth from people at its worst and at its best feeds back into an appearance based cultural hierarchy.

But. But. There is such a rich and vibrant history to cosmetics outside of what is sold to reinforce that inevitably toxic culture. So many forms of art in face paint and more permanent and interesting body modification! There’s history and traceable evolving styles and intentions! And it fucking sucks that it’s been so corrupted to the point of no longer reflecting it’s original intent of being creative and unique and interesting!

Sometimes it just sounds like ‘don’t have tattoos don’t you know those annoying punks and degenerates have those?’ has just been repackaged as ‘don’t wear make-up don’t you know those annoying preps and conformists do that?’ Like I get what you’re trying to say but there is nuance to these conversations and willfully ignoring that nuance makes you sound ridiculous at best and outright hostile to any deviation from your standards at worst.

#ra speaks #personal #be normal if you reblog this or else I’ll sigh loudly and be disappointed in you #saw a dumb post. saw replies I didn’t 100% agree with. #why can’t people just not interact w posts that they don’t like #I know I know it takes soooo much self control especially for a tumblr user #but jfc stop acting like option A and option Z are a strict dichotomy #when there’s 26 letters in the English alphabet and we haven’t even touched numbers yet #you know??? like. #they’re not right. you’re also not right in an equal and opposite way. can we approach complex topics with more critical thinking please. #anyways i like when people have awesome extreme and colorful makeup it’s cool.

Procreate is one of those drawing applications where I’ll have been using it for 6 years and then watch a video called like “Top 10 things you didn’t know you could do in procreate!” with the expectation that it’ll just talk about like creating a color palette out of a photo or something else I’m already aware of only for the person to detach the color wheel and drag it around the screen while drawing

[ID: Screen recording demonstrating the example above. The person recording detaches the procreate color menu, drags it around the screen, and then uses it to quickly switch between colors before closing it. End ID]

#somewhat art related #My jaw dropped when I saw them do that #there’s so much hidden stuff in this app #did you know when first using the app it took me a year to learn how the fill tool worked? #previously I’d just been coloring in the lineart by hand #took me only a bit longer to learned what a “reference layer” was lol #also the video included is my own screen recording just to be clear #it’s hard to see since it doesn’t show where I’m touching but you see that thin grey line/bar on top of the color menu #pull down on that #and click the “X” when you want to get rid of it #procreate #procreate tips #procreate hacks #video #id included #id in caption #you can’t do alt text for videos (at least I don’t think you can) so I put it in the caption #and the video is meant to demonstrate the color menu detaching so that’s what I described #video described

3d The Guy.. nonbinary lesbian vampire 0-0

I am painfully slow at drawing I am not forgetting these darn requests ,:3c

Anyway, did you know that through the cultural evolution of Vampires as concepts they eventually ended up in most depictions as allegories for the Christian Idea of becoming tainted by being promiscuous and involving yourself and enjoying non-marital sex?

It’s not relevant to what I drew, I just know stuff about things

#me’s stuff :] #The Guy #eyestrain #bright colors #for the background #ask me me #answering #I’ve also been taking a while because of life stuff #suffice to say there’s funeral drama going on #and my family and I are experiencing the roughness of it #and I’ve been channeling so much funny video game autism to really get anything done because of it #I know it’s not my fault and I should take all the time in the world to get to posting things so I can sit with this stuff #but I’m still sorry #I’m doing alright though :] don’t worry about it /gen

getting intense joy from painting my nails wasn’t an expected outcome of my day but it is definitely a welcome one!

#in todays episode of ‘oh dang cis ppl can also get gender euphoria huh’ #the more this happens the more I am convinced that gender expression is rly a personal thing #bc like. my roommate would NOT like to paint her nails or wear hairbows or skirts. she doesn’t enjoy them. #but she considers herself very feminine in her own right by the colors and styles of the shirts she wears and how she does her hair #I didn’t used to think I liked looking particularly feminine at all bc I found so much of it uncomfortable #turns out girliepop had sensory issues and the ‘beautiful lace dresses and nylon tights and makeup’ wasn’t doing it for me #but when given the chance to choose how I look. I find that I actually enjoy some of the stereotypical feminine stuff a lot! #and also enjoy some stereotypically unfeminine things bc they make me *feel* more like a girl even if they’re not like that for everyone #like my Minecraft socks! and t-shirts from the men’s section at Meijer. and button ups with loud patterns! and my undercut 🩵 #also a lot of it I think is just. I am expressing what I like and enjoy. and part of who I am is a girl. so having the ability to express #myself in my clothing means I feel more like me. which includes feeling like a girl. which is v cool. #like I have other nail polish but I don’t like it bc it’s smth my mom picked out for me and it’s not rly my taste. #I have a ton of jewelry but only some of it is smth I would ever actually wear. bc I got it from my great grandma. who had different tastes. #but my Minecraft socks and patterned skirts and graphic tees and hairbows are all things that show what I like! #even if it’s not super matchy or coordinated. I look like me! #and now I have nails in my favorite color and I’m gonna try and get my hair dyed again in colors I like #I just. have the agency to look like me. and I keep surprising myself by how much I love that. #instead of copying what my family considers to be ‘good taste’

So the Oppenheimer cast showed up to their premiere (briefly, before going to picket with the strike) and I immediately fell in love with the fact that Cillian Murphy was wearing a sheer top under his suit. So why not put it on my D2 Warlock? And why not add the rest of the fireteam? Why not??

From left to right, Sabine is wearing Josh Hartnett’s suit (with the modification of a coral shirt instead of the original gray-blue one), Jim-1 is in Cillian Murphy’s outfit, and Venzua is wearing Florence Pugh’s dress.

Also for the record, Jimmy isn’t actually very small, the ladies just make him look it LOL. He’s 5’11, Venzua is 6’0 (6’3 in heels, 6’7 with the hair LOL) and Sabine is 6’4

#I had to fix my CSP for this bc I wanted some brushes with textures I actually liked #procreate is convenient but I don’t actually like any of the brushes I have on there #also I blasted through the lining and coloring in one sitting and gave myself wrist pain #do your stretches kids #man idk I just love making this super super niche stuff #it’s so much fun #also this is the first time I’ve drawn Sabine for real #and I had to invent her hair bc her in-game style was NOT working #I’m pretty pleased by how she looks though #Destiny 2 #Sabine #Jim-1 #Venzua #my art

I could have a million years and one day to knit a single sock for someone and I’d still be up at that final hour with a hairdryer trying to block the project the night before.

#anyway finished the first round of baby things #I kinda caved and made useless stuff. I made a cable knit sweater from non sw yarn #my rational is what if we get another 18° winter??? this could be the only thing that keeps baby from freezing to death!! #plus I mean in the end it’s not like these will fit in another heat so who cares if they survive the wash! #I do wish I had a more cohesive style and color palette. I don’t have much super wash and noooone of it matches #also I really suspect some of this sizing but…I can’t really know for sure. #knitblr
