An illustration commemorating the 50 years of the Carnation Revolution that took place in Portugal on the 25th of April of 1974, and the woman, Celeste Caeiro, who gave the revolution its name with a simple gesture :)
So I finally got around to that "inevitable angst" I was talking about XDD
Silly Octo, you should have given your wound ample time to heal! Now look at you, struck down and in critical condition. And look at that! You made your best friend cry. All because you couldn't accept the fact that you were weaker than the rest of your crew and needed extra time to recover. Silly goose! 🦆 🦆
"That has to mean something, right? It can't just be a coincidence that it happened twice! Oh, sweet, sweet confirmation!"
Don has chanced upon an exciting revelation at the TMNT AU Competition!

Meet Brynn Bladetongue: half-drow sorceress-bard, at your service, with the two loves of her life, depicted with ABSOLUTE PERFECTION by @jukeboxindie! Don't mind me, just deeply obsessed with this perfect art of my babygirl with her boyfriends 🥰
You can read about Brynn and each of her boys here on AO3!
wriothesley, doesn’t let his favorite girl give him a blowjob. he thinks it’s beneath you; ♡ he’s a giver and a provider through and through, and he doesn't think pwetty girls should do anything to dirty their little mouths, even if it were to bring him the utmost pleasure.
he would rather you lay back sweaty and disheveled in between the frills and silks of your sheets from his incessant sucking on your twitchy flesh. he would rather milk your cunt with his cock and hear your drooly cries through your tired haze until you’re pushing him away from between your thighs, but . . . you’ve grown persistent.
you’re good at begging, and he supposes he nurtured that side of you—encouraging you to say ‘pretty please’ amongst other things far too naughty for little girls to say.
all because he’s weak to a princess with manners, you knew just what to say to make him bend to your will and encourage the throb within his erection.
“please, daddy can I suck your cock? I want you to stuff my throat with it .”
“jus pretend i'm your dolly, please ? I’ll be s’good. I-I’ll take it ‘nd swallow it all like a good girl.”
“I want to make you feel better, I need y’r fat cock in my mouth . I even put my hair in little piggies so you can pull on them, daddy. see ? ♡”
he’s nearly gasping for air as the words continue to tumble from between your lips. you were starting to make him question if it was really beneath you to want something so filthy.
maybe, your sloppy mouth was made for him, as you claimed. maybe he does want to make his princess dirty and tug her hair until her nose is pressed against his abdomen. maybe good girls really did need their mouths full and bubbling to the brim with their daddy’s cum. just maybe.
matthew asking keith not to talk to the media about him isn't new information (the athletic, 5/10/2023), and as the lede of that story makes clear, keith honored that request:
Matthew Tkachuk put his father in “timeout.”
That’s why Keith Tkachuk, an 18-year veteran of the NHL and one of the league’s best American-born players, wasn’t available to talk about his son’s remarkable run that has taken the Panthers from “biggest disappointment” to one win from the Eastern Conference finals.
[...]
Now, there’s no time for distractions, and Matthew wants to keep a lid on his pops, who informed The Athletic of his “timeout” via text.
that article goes on to quote matthew's mother, sister, family friends, teammates, and coaches and mentors at various levels, so it's safe to say that keith's exclusion is a notable one.
as far as i can recall, the interview last night is the first keith has talked about matthew publicly since, and it wasn't a comment on matthew's performance or his team's play. should keith have said on the broadcast that matthew gave him the silent treatment? hard to say from the outside! i don't think "he didn't talk to me for a bit" gives us any meaningful new information* since we could already infer that he was mad, but i can understand why someone else might want to keep that particular detail private.
i don't bring this up a lot in my fannish posts and comments on tumblr because it's a little bit peeking behind the veil, but the tkachuks have very clearly made being a family the brand. now, that was a low hanging fruit for sure, because the nhl loves father-son narratives and fraternal narratives, but they absolutely lean into it. as a consequence, we know a lot about the family, and can often infer even more. (think brady not quite saying it but boy was it clear that he didn't appreciate matthew interfering with his contract stuff.) they can't just not talk about each other at all, because the story they've woven about themselves requires it. there's no version of this where keith never gets asked about matthew again. i think it's quite impressive how long he's managed to go without commenting on matthew's play. did he even say anything during the conference final?
look, i think there's plenty of things to point to if you want to construct a narrative about matthew and keith not always getting along (especially since no one gets along with each other all the time, perhaps especially not their parents). and there's plenty to dislike or find grating about keith! i also have my own beliefs about where in their relationship there's most likely to be tension, which i'm happy to get into on request but aren't the point of what i'm saying here. and if you're just here to play around with the idea of really contentious father-son relationship and have picked matthew and keith as your paper dolls for this purpose, then who am i to stop you? as one of my dear friends always says, all rpf characterization is fake.
but for me at least, the leap from the information we have to "keith hates and/or disrespects matthew" is a big one.
that post about the nails getting done? yes yes yes
toji ESPECIALLYYYY is the type to tell u to get dark purple or an emerald green n u HAVE to get the initial on the ring finger or hell be upset until you add it bc hes a jealous asshole n wants everyone who looks at ur nails to see the letter t n ask wht it stands for 🤭
anonnie i am so glad you understand me ❤︎ !
big bad toji turning into a big baby when he looks at your neutral-toned nails and sees no T on the right hand's ring finger, dropping your hand dramatically as he pretends he's fine, but he's got a big pout on his face. but when you coo at him and make him look at the left hand, he sees not only is a T painted on the nail in white, but that nail is the same color of his eyes.
'toji green,' you call it as you smile at him down at him, your spare hand running through his hair, waiting for him to react.
you don't expect him to kiss that finger, then tug you closer to between his legs as he sits up on the couch, burying his face into your stomach.
"mm. dunno if i wanna kiss you or eat you out right now," he grumbles into your abdomen, glaring up at you. "don't mess with me like that, girlie, almost made me think you didn't like me."
"if i didn't like you toji, i wouldn't say 'kiss me, eat me out, then kiss me again,' now would i?"
