#i will say this much

[thr-333]

Your One and a Half Futures AU is now consuming at least 80% of the RAM in my brain.

The thing I keep getting hung up on is that because Leo shot down Leon’s plan, Raph was never saved. Is he still running around as a Krang beast? Has Leon ever seen him on his missions?

Will they ever be able to rescue Raph, and if so, how would he react to Leo’s treatment of Leon? With Donnie and Mikey, I feel like it was a little bit of a boiling frog situation, where Leo got crueler to Leon bit by bit and they didn’t fully register it because of everything else going on. But if Raph came back after years of being away from his family, would he be shocked and angry?

Or worse, would he blame Leon too for all the time he spent controlled by the Krang?

And we'll get to the rest later(:

#I'm glad you like it #I will say this much #Raph would not blame Leon #if anything he would hold a grudge against Leo #One and a Half Futures #oaahf #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #save rise of the tmnt #save rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise #tmnt

I would absolutely read that ffxiv x svsss fic if you ever did it! I love the world building you so would love to what would when you smack them together!

I don't have anything really defined as far as ideas go, but dropping someone on QCMS for a while would be really funny I think because like

Compared to whatever is the norm in the SVSSS verse, people on Etheirys (the world ffxiv is set in) are practically made of qi. Or have so much of it anyway that they might as well be made of it.

Which, as far as I can tell, is extremely not normal in a cultivation setting. Even the Garleans are made like that, they just can't control the energy. Imagine a person with more qi than some cultivators ever amass in their entire life who at the same time can't even circulate it. They are capable of manipulating it in other objects to a degree, but their own boundless qi? Completely inaccessible to them.

Also just asking anyone to talk about where they come from would be a trip. "One of our moons fell, the dragon imprisoned in it got out and wrecked shit, caused wide-spread environmental destruction and now one of our city states is stuck in permanent winter and this is just a thing that happens every now and then" would be wild to listen to for someone who is not used to the concept of Calamities.

Or take "well we don't actually know if our gods even really exist or not in the form we worship them, because when we try too hard to commune with them all we get are fakes that enslave the minds of people and drain the land dry".

Lots of very wild concepts in ffxiv that would make MQF think that he must be having a qi-deviation or a fever dream, because there's no way this person (demon??? most races would get mistaken for one. oh god can you imagine an Au Ra or a hroth or god forbid a lala getting dropped in there) is actually saying all these things with their full chest in complete sincerity. You don't even need to bring the WoL ("Hi, so my dayjob is to fight and kill fake gods?"), basically anyone would cause A Stir.

Like, the opposite of it would be less funny I think, because whatever a cultivator can say would probably go the way of "huh, there sure are some strange things in those far eastern lands" because you need to go very far to hit the threshold where things start sounding a little implausible for a better traveled person in the ffxiv universe. And even then if you get someone who's fully informed they might just break out the "have you considered you that might hail from another planet altogether?" and yeah no, that's not better at all.

A cultivator might get sick from all the aether all around too - it's Lingxi caves turned up to a hundred, in everything and everyone, without any filter on the energy. And as of Endwalker, we have Dynamis, which is a force that acts in the absence of aether and reacts very strongly to emotion...

#shut up tc #I wouldn't bring my WoL because my WoL is an OP bastard even in setting #but Percy could kick LBH's ass almost effortlessly protag halo or not #I will say this much

Just caught up to latest chapter and wow!! I absolutely love the idea of ninpo powers having a little bit of a mind of their own.

I have one question tho (unless this is a spoiler)! If you were to give the other brother’s ninpo an animal to represent them, what would they be?

Oh yeah so Raph would be a [REDACTED BUT STRONGLY HINTED AT IN THE FIC] and Mikey would be a [REDACTED BUT I'VE SECRETLY ALREADY SHOWN IT BEFORE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THIS BLOG] and Donnie would be a [ALSO HINTED AT IN PREVIOUSLY SHOWCASED ART IN THE FIC]

hope that helps ;)

Smartphones shouldn't have cameras. Real artists spent decades of their lives learning how to pain hyperrealistic pictures. If you want to send a pic of your dog to your friends, go learn to paint yourself, or commission an artist to do it. Taking a photo is literally stealing money out of their pockets.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

#it's bad if you want i have sex it's also bad if you DON'T want to have sex #god forbid if you're a woman in a heterosexual marriage and aren't in the mood #that's 'withholding sex' and you're clearly abusive scum who should be divorced and left without any of your shared assets. #but if you DO have sex now you're a degenerate freak plotting for the downfall of western society #i don't know what to say i'm just so tired #politics #culture #queerphobia #lgbtqia #misogyny #<it's not the exclusive source but let's be honest sooo much of this is integral to the patriarchy #patriarchy needs access to an underclass they can treat like sex objects but they also don't want them to have any human rights #so sexuality is both obligatory and stigmatized #purity culture #i'm really struggling with tagging this because most of the appropiate tags would- in a beautiful twist of irony- get me booted off tumblr

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

#personal rant lol #like saying queer or gay is so much easier sometimes #if I say anything else sometimes I get the confused dog head tilt and I’m just like ok ok I’m gay #lgbtq community #lgbtqia #demisexual #non binary #sapphic #lgbtqia+ #queer #panromantic

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

#i think this is why ive been so much more geniunely happy these last few years #like. i will never be going to bed alone. i will always have someone who wants me here #i will always have someone to say 'im sorry im not feeling very well now' and they will be concerned instead of being annoyed #at you as if those feelings are an inconvenience #scratchpost #txt

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...

Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love

#and much like dogs and cats #we have ways of saying 'not right now i don't wanna play grr get away for real' #which is when the deescalation kicks in

Dog Meshi.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #laios touden #The foreshadowing of the laios's barking is so funny. It isn't even just Marcille's flashback. It's everywhere. #It's the love of dogs. How he intimidates the basilisk. General fascination with creatures and their behaviours. #This is a man who is would not be a furry per say but would own a fursuit for the fascination of the craft. #Laios is the guy in the forums rating people's hybrid fursonas for nothing but the love of creatures. #Dog Laios would use his powers to go into dog-free restaurants. #That human impression is so good. One might say 'Woah who's that confident hairy guy? Alright boss; in you go.' #He would be the no.1 customer of a New York Deli that has no legal business license but makes the best sandwiches in the city. #“Would Senshi run it?” I think he would also be a dog in this theoretical AU. Which...makes the scene even funnier actually. #A comic in which everyone is dogs was never something I thought I'd make but here we are! #Marcille is a borzoi (elf of dogs). Tolden siblings are golden lab-retrievers. #Senshi is a scottish terrier. Chilchuck is harder; I need to think on that one. Another terrier perhaps. #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. I hope this comic makes someone laugh half as much as I did while drawing it.

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.
