Hello :D

You're so cool

Anyway have you thought that in your rat sons au Splinter might outlive the boys?

You're very cool :D love your stuff dude

(tw for some blood, light gore, implied overdose (kinda??))

hi copper!!! this is a fantastic question!

so obviously typical irl rats have far shorter lifespans than the average irl tortoise. according to google (yes, be awed by my spectacularly in-depth wealth of research) the average pet rat lives between 2-4 years ish, and the oldest on record lived to be about 7. meanwhile, an African spurred tortoise (Splinter's species) averages more around a 50ish year lifespan in captivity, tho is suspected to possibly exceed 75 or more in the wild.

Now, the mutation does give us a lot of wiggle room for playing with these numbers. For the rat sons boys, id say their natural lifespan probably clocks in at about 45-55 years old? definitely not old by human standards, but not young young either. (though, its also important to note that the boys were exposed to the mutagen just days after being born.)

For Splinter, meanwhile, aging is slightly more complicated. He lived the vast majority of his life as a regular normal African spurred tortoise (well, non-mutated at least. there were perhaps some shenanigans of a more mystical variety going on before he was mutated, but thats a separate matter) He was about 70ish i think? when the boys were born and they were all exposed to the mutagen. so he is already distinctly an old man turtle papa. id guess he'd probably still have another eh lets say 25-30 years after his mutation. he could probably push it a little farther even with some mystic nonsense, but when push comes to shove id say his 'natural' post-mutation lifespan would put his death like a solid decade or two before his sons.

of course, the tricky part of the matter is that theres no way for Splinter to know any of this. theres no way for him to know how the mutation affected them all, or if it even affected them all in the same way. especially since the boys dont show many physical signs of mutation for the first few years, and just kinda look like normal rats, (albeit with a more human sort of intelligence) — what sort of health standard do you hold them to? what if they simply dont show external signs of sickness or old age anymore? how do you actually know if something is wrong?

for a while there Splinter is very worried that one of his babies will just essentially reach the end of their normal rat lifespan, fall and not get up again.

so mostly, he just tries to live in the moment, enjoying whatever time he does have with his little ones, taking each day as a gift <3

still,

that fear

never

really

goes

away.....

I actually find it really bizarre and counter intuitive that clinically speaking, you cannot legally be diagnosed with a personality disorder until you're at least 18. The reason given for this is because "the personality has not fully developed before this age" like ???

Ah yes, my favorite strategy. Not diagnosing the problem until it's already been virtually cemented into your brain for life! Wouldn't it be easier (and more painless) to address the problem before it's fully developed?

#im also certain that the age that personality fully forms at is not a universally agreed upon number #like idk. maybe this raises less questions about age and more about the potential consequences of pathologizing personalities #it feels a little fucked up to me that some mental illness are 'just' mental illnesses while others are deemed a thing synonymous with you #and i can understand if some people with personality disorders do really heavily identify with their disorders #thats fine! #i also think the average person has a concept of personality which is relatively stagnant and thats just not realistic tbh #i mean if you think personality is stagnant then yours probably is so in rhat sense youre not wrong #but personality can absolutely change and i dont think it makes you a 'different person' #i think its a natural progression #anyways. got a little derailed but the point im trying to make is #lets find a way to give people with personality disorders a more realistic hope for recovery without invalidating them #and also lets maybe try to treat personality disorders preemptively so they don't get worse

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

been pondering this one for a while and i'm not sure where i stand on it myself so i want to know what people think about this, so (assuming there's no good way to represent hal as an artificial intelligence /non-human entity/extension of dirk):

feel free to share thoughts in the tags & replies!

#ignore the typo in the question. i'm sick. #on my week off. which is fun. #anyway i have thoughts on this as a twin. i wouldn't be opposed to making them twins but it's a Very Different Kind of Conflict #being a twin does mean constantly being compared when ur growing up which does things to ur sense of self but not like That #to clarify i would only count the third option as hal being a distinct personality or seperate character. something with agency #as opposed to exploring dirk's self expression and self hatred through different avenues a la detective pony. bc that's not a Hal #if that makes sense #didn't make 'why are you writing no-sburb aus' an option because i feel like thats a bit mean but tbh its a difficult conflict to translate

GENUINE FOR REAL QUESTION, I'm just curious:

What is the problem with TigerScourge. They are fairly close in age.

Is the problem "Tigerpaw attacked him"?? Because I GET that not being to personal tastes, but enemies trope has always been extremely popular when it comes to shipping. I don't see anything that inherently makes it different from other "edgy villian" ships but people react as if it's really bad and I don't see why.

#I feel like people just assume Scourge is way younger than he rlly is #at least thats what I can tell looking at his other ships #Tiger was an apprentice when Tiny was a kit thats average wc mates ages tbh? Crooked x Willow was the same. Blue x Oak is abt the same #GENUINE QUESTION I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK

doodles of my pikmin 4 captain ft the horrible decision i made to ship her with louie

#im on my 3rd playthrough rn #i played as pom first. then i jsut threw together a captain for my 2nd playthrough bc i didnt know how not to be pom #and now i have one i genuinely like #her name is akari btw. i might end up changing it tho just so shes less attached to me #ALSO she looks way more masc in game tbh.........shes been girlmoded #i have to make her transfem now. thats how that works right #also i should mention that i dont actually selfship with louie. i just thought itd be funny bc theyre both blue and then it escalated #im more of a collin guy personally. now watch me never draw him again out of shame #ok anyways. tag time #pikmin #pikmin 4 #louie pikmin #collin pikmin #☆ my art #☆ my ocs #? question mark? #does she count as an oc i have no idea #edit how does this have 100 fucking notes all of this looks like shit #you all hate me and want me dead. im sure of it

I really like to believe they are friends!!!

#the outfit swap was just for funs but i love how noisette looks with piepoe fit tbh!!!! #he really thinks she is like... so fun to just sit next to. she can talk for HOURS and they dont have to say a PEEP the entire time #she never pushes piepoe to speak either bc she will just keep talking anyway. its like just having company while not needing to interact #friend! piepoe appreciates her. she probably also leaves her crafted toppins around too so thats trust times 200000 #but thank you for this lovely question!!! i love these pink creachers very dearly...!! #make sure to rest and eat food and drink water! be safe...!! sending lots of love your way!! thank you again!! #💓💖💓💘💘💖💓💘💓💓💖💓💖💖💘💓💖💘💖💓💖💘💖💓💖‼️‼️‼️ #Piepoe arts

"Aesop does not pass the vibe check" listen I understand we are all enamored with the funky queer librarians but they are if anything more resistant to challenging the author/character relationship and definitely have more information than they're sharing about its nature. NPCs are in fact more interesting if their initial interests are not perfectly aligned with the PCs and Aesop and the librarians both check this box in the same way

#dimension 20 #neverafter #people biting off on aesops opposition to PCs is a little annoying tbh #he and the librarians are interesting because theyre from a less immediately horrifying world #but interact with a huge existential horror and in the librarians case are literally tasked with safeguarding its workings #like of COURSE that makes them secretive abt its nature and resistant to questioning it. thats COOL actually #nva #neverafter spoilers #nva spoilers

[caffeinatedopossum]

As someone who has (supposedly) been actually tortured, I do think it's fair to use a word as extreme as torture to refer to the mental anguish that one can experience

#self contained (?) mental anguish i mean since psychological torture is very real #it takes a lot for physical pain to get to the point that you want to kill yourself about it #now im questioning if i deserve to be able to say this >_< #listen this isnt pain Olympics. someone did have it worse than me im sure and i dont particularly care #unless that person is literally you and you want to have a productive conversation about it #thats actually encouraged tbh #im just tired of people talking for the people who 'had it worse' when in reality those people are usually very kind and understanding

sometimes i get very passionate about my job and how important it can be to give an accurate history of a moment in american history that's frequently referenced but which the general public in america has a lot of misconceptions about

and other times i spend an unproductive day trying to explain outdated tax law to a child who isn't equipped to understand, but who is very intent on asking "why?" repeatedly and i think maybe i understand why this protest specifically gets misrepresented and glossed over in schools.

#messages from the ouija board #sadies day job #also! im the ship person which means i see each group for 15 min tops. and people go 'hey so why do we still have taxes if we won the war' #and theres like 5 min until the next group comes down and my hands are cold and i gotta be like #'it was about parliament and the east india company and thats not actually what the war was /about/ #the retaliation for this protest just created more unrest and thats what led to the war and taxes that pay for infrastructure are good #please direct the rest of your questions to the man in the silly wig hope this helps' and then i gotta shoo them into the building #its not exactly an efficient way to teach history tbh! but im doing my best #in fairness to our site a lot of the questions about Afterward get answered later on the tour #but sometimes the questions are very specific and im like great question! heres a book rec! sorry!

"Paul Simms is just trolling us guys!!"

bro let himself get bullied off of twitter last time he pulled this. that doesn't exactly read to me as peak troll behavior
