#[ thank you for sending this!!!

[pangur-and-grim]

I have been behind on the times but have just binged your blog and firstly I hope your girls feel better soon, pancreatitis is rotten! Secondly, I am in love with your son and I am SO happy about his existence! Devons are my absolute favourite cat breed and I get so excited then they come into work. Crusty old devons are my weakness.

Ps, the photo of him sobbing on the vet table had me CACKLING. I adore him. I’m so happy for you. I’m sending strength to the ladies.

Xoxo your biggest fan + her half a dozen dogs (and these two)

pancreatitis is so nasty. when they go off food, I wish there was some way to say "nooooooooo you need that to live!" and have them understand.

it's a huge relief that they're both home and eating now!

as for the new boy, he is perfectly healthy and happy, and having the first catnip trip of his young life

"If you didn't come here to apologise, why are you here?" (innie Mark and Helena)

a silence hangs in the air as helena, dressed indistinctly from her innie, gazes up at mark. the truth of the matter is almost embarrassing to admit, but helena has already established with all of the innies that she's a notoriously bad liar. even mark seemed to notice the change in disposition upon seeing her again after the ORTBO.

❛ i... just didn't like how we left things off, mark, ❜ she sheepishly replies. as in, her being drowned in front of him — or perhaps the ever present memory of the intimacy they shared in that tent is also being alluded to. helena's gaze falters, but she stands her ground. ❛ i know you'd rather see helly, but — i wanted to check on you. see how you're holding up after... after everything. ❜

What do you think coral and mizzen (or the rest of the tributes in general) reaction would be if they learned about the cannibalism thing Persephone did?

okay, i’m not saying everyone needs to go read this specific chapter about coral…but everyone needs to go read this specific chapter about coral.

for mizzen- i really think she would hold back on telling him that, at least before the games. but i do have a mizzen-lives-au headcanon that she tells him about it after the games when he’s struggling to cope with what he did to survive.

i think in that scenario, he would actually find a lot of comfort in hearing that from persephone. it would help him feel less alone and less like a monster because if persephone, who has showed him so much kindness, did that to survive then surely what he did doesn’t doom him to be a monster forever?

i think for most of the rest of the tributes that don’t know her- they would react with horror and judgement. it would reaffirm their beliefs that the capitol people are all soul-less monsters.

For the Mikey Ask!

(Because i can't send asks from my side turtle blog. 😭 )

From the Mikey Ask Game!

Hiiiii!

I getchu. I don't understand why tumblr hasn't figured out how to allow us to submit asks from different blogs now that we can reply as different blogs??? Also, same. I had to submit to your blog as my main, trisockatops, lol!

1. which mikey is your favorite version?

omg choices are hard. I'm actually going to go with 90s movies Mikey! 90s movie Mikey was a really good blend of doofus and serious ninja that led to him getting some really amazing and moments.

Mikey and Donnie's interactions while watching Leo and Raph fight crack me up every time. They're such the cool, nonchalant siblings tired of this shit but knowing this shit isn't gonna end anytime soon.

Who can forget Mikey with no hesitation running into a burning building to save a child he'd just met?

The whole Second opening sequence is absolutely golden, but Mikey A) knocking out Foot with a 0.2 ounce yo-yo, B) Mikey playing both parts in the fight behind the meat counter, and C) Mikey running off the Foot with sausage is HILARIOUS. (Don is also a huge star in this clip. Him being the weeble lives rent free in my head and is the entire reason I know what a weeble even is.)

Mikey drawing out Splinter's funny side because Splinter is worried about him and getting Splinter to wear a lampshade to cheer him up!? And Mikey's absolutely precious laugh afterwords? Omg, precious babies.

Mikey being the one to hold the donuts but then still make Leo be the one to call a stop to the fight and give him a chance to offer them to Tokka and Rahzar. xD Plus the classic "Which one's the ugly one?" That line also lives rent free in my head. I quote it all the time looool.

I just really enjoy the utter campiness of the 90s movies and how everyone really got a chance to shine and be both funny and awesome. This is a great version of Mikey.

2. do you have any mikey merch?

Ah, sadly, I've been moving a lot, so I pared down on a lot of my TMNT merch to make things easier on myself, so a lot of my Mikey-centric stuff is gone. :( I have some cool group things, still, though!

Just got this sweatshirt for Christmas. It is super comfy.

I'm not even sure how old this pillow is anymore, but it's been through most of college with me.

My beloved fridge magnets which were once cake toppers.

I also have a set of miniature figures of the guys that are rather 2k7 in build that I love, but they're currently still packed way from my move in December. (The walls here are brick, so I need a special tool to put shelves up so I can display them, lol.)

4. what headcanons do you have?

I love ADHD!Mikey. That's definitely a fave.

A lot of iterations of TMNT give the boys a lot of inner strife over having to be secret and removed from the world, but I actually think Mikey is most at peace with this out of all the boys. Raph's got obvious anger issues over the juxtaposition of all they do to help the city/world and how people would just fear or hate them if their presence was revealed. Donnie has so much he could contribute to the world scientifically, and ofc there's some aspect of this that can be conveyed just through screens, but he can't make a name for himself. He can't go to conferences. He can't teach. He can't really collaborate with others beyond anonymous chatting. He can't really publish. That's absolutely gotta wear on him. Leo may seem like the obvious most at peace, but I think he really internalizes this alienation and isolation and it causes a lot of inner turmoil and anxiety. But Mikey I feel is the most connected with the world and so feels the least disconnected. He's got a strong network of contacts in 2k3 with the Justice Force and Nobody. In 2k7, he outright had an in-person job as a party performer. Really, he's so friendly and extroverted that he can't help but make friends, and he's the most likely to put himself out there and risk being revealed if it would help someone. I think he also has tends to have a lot more emotional coping skills/maturity than his brothers tend to have, so if he is bothered by this isolation, he better knows how to deal. Whereas Raph tends to explode and take his emotions out on other and Leo/Donnie tend to internalize until they reach denial or acceptance (more Donnie) or explode (very Leo). Acting in a juvenile manner doesn't actually mean Mikey is immature. (2k3 Mikey's speech on feeling bad for Leo while he was struggling with PTSD because he took on so much responsibility so the rest of them didn't have to is case and point.)

Mikey's pranks and distraction tactics are less a mechanism of fear of responsibility but more of fear of failure. Leo's great at strategy, Raph is pure brute strength and a lack of fear, Donnie's amazing intelligent - there's a lot for Mikey to have to try and live up to, and it's scary that he might not have a place in that and that maybe he's not as good or talented as his brother. So he carved out this niche for himself as being dramatic and ridiculous, so maybe he'll never be good enough, but he'll sure as shell never be forgotten.

You can probably see who sends this but I wanted to share this because I thought you’d find it interesting

https://apple.news/AZzgRKheaQQWUGQdQn6RMPw

If you don’t have Apple News it is a CNN article titled “Opinion: The Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce narrative has a dark side”

Holy fuck this is amazing and everything I’ve been trying to say, some highlights:

"I'm a snail whisperer. Snails are very sociable creatures, you know? I talk to my snails everyday - they seem to enjoy it." For Bruce. Unprompted

there's something admirable to be said that despite the city's destruction and the dirty seawater that still lingers at their feet in cloudy puddles, a smile still remains perfectly in tact on her face — one that she shares with him when others still regard him with slight apprehension. the batman has lowered himself down to be on equal level to her in a show of approachability; a gesture that she seems to appreciate when she leans in close and opens the palms of her hands to reveal what treasure she holds close, like sharing a secret with a trusted friend.

the innocence of childhood jabs in in the chest, leaving a sorrowful ache lingering somewhere deep in the recesses of his heart: the yearning for what he never had. but then the feeling is dismissed and quickly replaced by the beginnings of a smile that flickers at the corners of his lips. he will not let others endure the pain and sorrow he had experienced as a child — not if he can help it. so he listens to her explanation with interest and peers in between to the slimy creature she carries.

❝ i'm sure they're glad to have someone who understands them, ❞ he answers in a gentle voice, reaching up a gloved hand to gently be placed atop her shoulder, ❝ can you let them know that they don't have to worry? because you and i, we'll keep them safe, alright? ❞

I saw that you had a kakapo slugcat and I want you to know that makes me so happy I really like rainworld and kakapos are my favorite bird so now I'm just sitting here. quietly happy. and I think you should know about this. your kakapo slugcat delights me. if you wouldn't mind could you tell me about them?

omg this makes me so happy!! I’m so glad I could bring someone joy with my art, I’ve always wanted to do that, and it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling thinking about that, thank you for telling me :D

ok so about my kakapo slugcat!!

Really its just my kakapo sona but as a slugcat because I got into rw but I do have a little campaign idea for them! So first off, its abilities! It would be able to glide, kinda like real kakapos, climb up really tall vertical walls and be able to track things with a strong smelling ability, and it would also be able to blend into greener backgrounds when hunted.

It would be also friendly and curious, with a higher reputation among scavengers but other creatures would be more likely to go after it. It would be nocturnal, coming out at night time and be completely vegetarian, with a small amount of food pips needing to be filled. It would be fat like the gourmand but able to run faster because of its strong legs and able to store a large amount of food pips.

Now for what kind of region it lives in! My idea for now, was that it would live in a region based on kauri forests like in nz, with tall trees and other nz based foods that you could eat. There might other regions, like a more mountainous one with snowfall or something.

I would totally mod this if I could but I dunno how to code haha maybe one day though.

that’s all I’ve been able to think of right now, I might have more ideas later, if it’s a bit long and rambling, sorry! It’s just sorta the first time I’ve put these ideas to words so I’m not 100% sure how to word it correctly, anyway hope you like what I have to say on it and also SUPER SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER I’ve just been distracted and procrastinating but I finally did this so here you go ^_^

Has Copperhead's eyesight changed at all as his mutation has progressed?

While Copperhead lost the ability to close his eyes, his sight improved significantly, making him able to perceive his surroundings much more clearly in low levels of light than ordinary humans can. Not only that but the cones in his eyes are much more receptive to colours in these conditions - snakes aren't renowned for having great eyesight but Copperhead is built different, quite literally since even in near total darkness, he can perceive blue and green when most other nocturnal creatures are limited to black and white! His eyes are also great at handling UV lighting, be it high levels during the day or low, low levels at night? Copperhead is comfortable operating at either time of day, even when living in sunny places like his native state of Arizona but rapid changes can and will cause temporary blindness since Copperhead cannot close his eyes against sudden flashes. This temporary state of blindness hinders him less than you'd expect; he goes through this during shedding periods, eyes filming up and glazing over when his skin is preparing to renew but getting flashbanged hurts and will almost certainly piss him off. During the day, he can see about as well as a human with perfect eyesight and very good ability to track moving objects, therefore responding much more quickly due to his Metahuman capabilities but it's at night when his abilities truly comes into play, making him a much more formidable hunter when others are stumbling around blind in the dark.

[neanderthyall]

blue...... because your username seems so familiar but i can't for the life of me remember when i started following you or why

🌸 If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. 🌸

oh boy oh boy oh boy this is where i suddenly forget anything about myself

1. i'm about to start my sixth (!!!) year of teaching english. last year was considered my first "normal year" because i had my first year where i didn't know anything and then covid happened my second, and last year was the first year with full events and normalcy going on.

2. my adhd operates where i will either excel at doing everything at once in lightning speed ( to where it's fucking notable by others ) or to where i excel at doing absolutely nothing. no inbetween.

3. my mom put me in a beauty pageant one time when i was like three or four and didn't know i had to have a talent prepared. my toddler ass sang the whole theme song of the brady bunch on the spot. a theatre kid was born.

🖋️ + Who's A Good Boy?

send a title of one of my fics + the fountain pen emoji and I will tell you about the 'behind the scenes' of the fic, any alternate titles or endings I considered, etc.

oh my gosh, who's a good boy was SO fun to write! a behind the scenes moment is that the picture of the collar I found for the post was perfect except for a name on the little silver heart (I think it said Princess but I don't remember) and I was like uhhh no he's not being called princess haha so I edited the photo and airbrushed it out... it was kind of a ton of work for a small detail like that but I'm a bit of a perfectionist haha

I don't remember if I ever had any alternate endings planned but I do remember this fic had a typo in it for like months that said ralph fucked the pillow under his arm instead of that he tucked it under his arm... humiliating lol I hate when that happens but it's my own fault for not proofreading!!

this fic did way better than I expected and possibly got more people into pet/puppy play! I was really happy with the reception, ralph is so fun to write because of his strong personality and this felt like the perfect way to explore that.

[startanewdream]

Would LOVE to know if there was a single scene in your mind when you decided to write The song remains the same!

Aaaah 🤩 Snape’s Worst Memory! I wanted so much to write the version of that scene if Lily and James' places were switched, and James was the one that had been Snape’s friends all along.

In fact, the fic was supposed to end right after this scene, but then James&Lily’s relationship changed a lot while I tried to make sense of who was Lily if she had befriended Sirius... and then you got those extra chapters!

Sharing the link to this specific chapter (rightly named "The Worst Day") if anyone is curious to see how it played out:

@phantomofagoodtime sent "you know you matter to me, right?" - from Leon to Claire

She wasn't sure she could give him a response because she didn't expect that. All she could do was stare at the ever mighty Leon Kennedy opening his heart up to her. Kinda. Leon and Claire had shared so much together, going from allies to friends and partners in survival. The feelings she had for him remained hidden, protecting her own heart from a possible rejection from him. She tried not to love him (as stupid as it could sound), with the reality they were facing, their life was hanging by a thread. One misstep, one wrong turn would lead them to their death and she wasn't sure she could survive losing someone else. “Do I? ” she wanted to reply with nonchalance but there were different emotions in her voice despite those two words. “
