#how it usually happens

[swagcheesecakemaker]

Do you think Raph sometimes curled in a spiky ball around the baby?

Also I have some thoughts™ about this so the process of curling in a said ball is under the cut.

And in the tags

Yep I got dramatic in the tags don't mind me

@somerandomdudelmao look what you're doing to people /aff

The healthy thing to do is to forcefully replace your frustration with righteous anger. Always works.

It's extremely messy and I'm so not sorry about this I have never drawn anything faster. Ever.

Thank you for your amazing series, Cass <3

#Like do you think #that sometimes he would lie down after a long day #with a child in his hands #and have some time to ruminate a little #before his sleep took him #how it usually happens #and do you think #that sometimes he would just get so angry #not on purpose; but it would happen #like on the point of furious #at the person who had dared abandon that literal baby #a creature that needs love and support and protection so desperately #left in a box on the streets #and then maybe his thoughts would track in more general directions #of how the circumstances for this to happen emerged in the first place #how it was possible that Casey's first parent only hid him there for a while #in hopes to return #distract the krangs and lead them away from the child #and maybe that person just could never make it back #and Raph wouldn't ever know what actualy happened in that alley anyway #Because it all already took place #And he wasn't there #So there's no point thinking about it now #but the child is here #in his arms #And he is safe with raph #you know #things like that #cass apocalyptic series #rottmnt

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

#the fact i expected him to be made fun of just reflects how queer people are usually presented in media #i was preparing myself for an awkward scene full of secondhand embarrassment for izzy #but then it didn’t happen. And it just made me immediately feel so warm and fuzzy inside. #like he can express the not socially acceptable parts of himself and not be outcast for it #and that’s just so fantastical to me #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd spoilers #our flag means death spoilers #ofmd s2e6 #izzy hands #rambling #i speak!

after having an entire hour long conversation with my coworkers about what "degendering" is, and the importance of using trans people's pronouns when you know them- rather than always defaulting to "they/them" no matter what- and still getting "they/them"ed by people I trusted not to fucking do that to me, I have decided that the name and pronouns circle of introductions for new additions to the group will now include the very clearly stated boundary that they do not use "they/them" pronouns for me.

your move, cowards!

#the positive end of this is that i happened to be the first non-cis person to introduce myself in the circle #and two nonbinary(?) people after me both followed suit & elaborated on like #which pronouns were okay AND which pronouns they actually preferred people use for them/how they use them #which was really cool!! #usually they've just given the list of which ones were okay #so it was nice to have the detailed insight and also nice to see them asset boundaries

#actually. usually its a combination of the two with a dash of existential dread :3333 #had to doodle this after someone commented on my other gaster drawings on how the fandom has two ways to potrayal him #to me hes a silly old goober who so happen to witness the horrors (and become the horrors as well) #anyways hes my bbg and ive been having him on my mind lately #gaster #undertale #utdr #my art

I made a pillow!

It took four months of non-stop cross-stitching, but I finally finished a pattern I bought from @8pxl a little bit ago, and tonight in a bizarre burst of productivity I finally sewed a back to it and stuffed it into a cute little pillow! It ended up being pretty much perfectly sized for a neck pillow, but I'm a bit worried about it getting dirty that way.

I highly recommend the patterns from 8xpl's shop, there are SO many gorgeous ones to choose from. I might end up getting another one soon o3o

#cross stitch #embroidery #fiber art #fiber crafts #cross stitching #xstitch #needlepoint #needlecraft #I went so long without drawing because I KNEW if I put this aside for anything I'd nver pick it up again #because that's how I usually am with cross stitch #but I finished it about a month ago and todday for some reason was just the day that I spontaneously finished the rest of thee project #I would have liked to do a nicer pillow #like with that piping kindd of stuff along the edge? #but if I actually waited to get some of that it'd never happen #so super basic straight lines around the edges flip insid out stuff an stitch down the opening #no zippeer #it will NOT be easy to clean so I need to be careful with it #but it is absolutely a perfect neck pillow on the back of my couch right now

sometimes we just need someone to pay enough attention.

for the longest time i had been trying to read The Lord of The Rings. everyone had sung the praises for it, over and over. i'd seen clips of the movie and it seemed like it could be fun, but actually reading it was fucking horrible.

my parents had the omnibus - all the books squished into one big tome - and in the 4th grade i started sort of an annual tradition: i would start trying to read TLR and get frustrated after about a month and put it back down. at first i figured i was just too young for it, and that it would eventually make sense.

but every time i came back to it, i would find myself having the exact same experience: it was confusing, weird, and dry as a fucking bone. i couldn't figure it out. how had everyone else on earth read this book and enjoyed it? how had they made movies out of this thing? it was, like, barely coherent. i would see it on "classics" list and on every fantasy/sci-fi list and everyone said i should read it; but i figured that it was like my opinion of great expectations - just because it's a classic doesn't mean i'm going to like experiencing it.

at 20, i began the process of forcing myself through it. if i had to treat the experience like a self-inflicted textbook, i would - but i was going to read it.

my mom came across me taking notes at our kitchen table. i was on the last few pages of the first book in the omnibus, and i was dreading moving on to the next. she smiled down at me. only you would take notes on creative writing. then she sat down and her brow wrinkled. wait. why are you taking notes on this?

i said the thing i always said - it's boring, and i forget what's happening in it because it's so weird, and dense. and strange.

she nodded a little, and started to stand up. and then sat back down and said - wait, will you show me the book?

i was happy to hand it over, annoyed with the fact i'd barely made a dent in the monster of a thing. she pulled it to herself, pushing her glasses up so she could read the tiny writing. for a moment, she was silent, and then she let out a cackle. she wouldn't stop laughing. oh my god. i cannot wait to tell your father.

i was immediately defensive. okay, maybe i'm stupid but i've been trying to read this since the 4th grade and -

she shook her head. raquel, this is the Silmarillion. you've been reading the Silmarillion, not the lord of the rings.

anyway, it turns out that the hobbit and lord of the rings series are all super good and i understand why they're recommended reading. but good lord (of the rings), i wish somebody had just asked - wait. this kind of thing is right up your alley. you love fantasy. it sounds like something might be wrong. why do you think it's so boring?

#thanks for reminding me this happened #writeblr #warm up #i don't think this story translates well to the page #IRONIC!!!! :) #but yeah man i read the Silmarillion before i read the hobbit #the omnibus didn't explain what it was and i figured - you start at the beginning and then you read from the beginning #that's how books work #how was i supposed to know #EDIT IN THE TAGS: hi i think i worded this in a confusing way #the omnibus had ALL the stories in it - the silm #the hobbit #and all of LOTR #they just put the silm in the front so i thought logically it was the first book #that's how an omnibus usually works after all - the first book in the series is the first book in the tome #to be fair i GUESS the silm takes place “before” the hobbit????

not to go off topic but i think that ideal post-canon dungeon meshi situation for kabru is for him to simultaneously have a slowburn domestic cozy noodles and rare escapes to go monster hunting and falling asleep in the same bed situation with mithrun AND some sort of high politics high stakes power dynamics they can't escape, manipulation equally matched by hopeless affection, glances shared over council tables, getting caught in the closet with the king again (explaining basic social protocols to him) thing with laios.

then just as he's coming to terms with his own feelings and the possibility that they might be romantic he learns that mithrun and laios have in fact been carrying on some sort of psychosexual no-strings affair the whole time (mithrun sits on the dresser and dispassionately explains horrific and bizarre monster situations from around the globe while laios gets off seven feet away)

#dungeon meshi #mithrun #laios touden #kabru of utaya #labrumisu #sometimes Mithrun tells Laois about how he would have mercy killed him #and laios tells Mithrun what it felt like to have the demon spasm and die under him #hashtag just boys night #before you ask me how kabru didn’t realize this was happening #he KNEW they were having little secret meeting he just thought it was therapeutic #which in a sense trying to make each other cry is but #they always looked like they’d had a really cathartic conversation when they came out of laios’ room! mithrun was so cheerful afterwards #in fairness it was good for them #they were both having fun and letting off steam #it’s only kabru who’s being weird about it per usual
