#55% turtle bullying

[snackugaki]

... just make an iteration* for fun, I said

a universe where they've made it into their late 30s-early 40s and they chill and can be serene in the company of friends and family for once. maybe a flashback or two for the action moments

"fix" your childhood turtles so they can have a reprieve and some shenanigans, i reasoned with myself--

WELP.

my tmnt au iteration (where everyone made it past their 20s, splinter’s alive just old, venus is here, and they deserve some goddamn respite and shenanigans)

tmnt au iteration part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9

tmnt au iteration omake 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11

lny visit 1 | 2

is this actually new ramblings for the iteration or like one new lore bit and just a rerererererehashing of lore i sprinkled across the other posts.

first though, with my sorta-outsider-not-active-participant-in-fandom history I realized "au" isn't the proper term for what I've been doing, the more suitable term is "iteration".

and we're gonna sit with the fact that even someone at my old-ass age recognized my previous understanding of a term was, for all intents and purposes, not entirely correct and that I acknowledged it, rectified when I could, and that's it, it can be that easy.

...

okay back to the bullshit.

so my Mondo was introduced in the Archie run, a funky guy with a metal band called Merciless Slaughter, dressed like a punk Hulk, all around good peoples, hung out with the Mutanimals.

His design cobbling isn't too deep, I don't think. Just thought it'd be more rad if he looked more like a guy who fronts a band called Merciless Slaughter while remaining the same ol' Mondo inside, post mutation.

Kept some of his original color palette around in his hat, his pants, his NYHC logo (links) knockoff, and his little dyed leather cord bracelets.

the letters for the logo are for, Skate or Die (across), and Merciless Slaughter (down)

hmm still waffling on if I'm more tickled by him being taller than Mikey or the same height (5'4")

_________

and now for the rererererehash rambling because none of this design progression is coming out linear for me. so super quick, am an original 90s turtlemania survivor, Rise brought me back, gorged Rise then Bay then 2007 movie then rererererewatching of Next Mutation and the 90s trilogy for fun then hacking my way back through the Archie and Mirage runs then caught up with IDW and then just... slogging through 2003 and 2012 which honestly I feel like I got the gists of through gif sets alone.

one hand I can see why old fans (90s turtlemania) didn't seem to like the Rise designs, ours really were just the same li'l green dude but in different colors and hit sticks looks-wise. But here comes Rise with all the character design classics: different shapes! different sizes! exaggeration! and that's on top of all the nudges and twists made to the usual lore; Raphael is now the oldest, Leo and Donnie are now twins, they're different species of turtles, they're tools for war, brand new antagonists etc.

idk, to me when I was watching that shit, it was fun and refreshing so... ionno, built different cope maybe to the other oldheads pissing their pantaloons still ig whatevs

what tickles me most, personally, is the utter fuckton of Rise AUs, and a few Rise-driven iterations, and also some of the other non canon media iterations. so tickled that I got hit by the makeaniterationigitis itllbefunoccocal virus too. UnU (i'm kidding, i'm having so much fucking fun) just I'm addressing the flowers I wanna give to the kids who took Rise's take on tmnt and just RAN with the "different turtle species" from full out coloring their turtles the same as the species they picked to mimicking Rise's design language with different markings.

God, the markings thing just really nestled into my heart, it's such a simple thing and yet it took Rise to just try it, not even a lot, just a little for flavorrrrr. It's just enjoyable as fuck to me tbh and I'm sharpening my teeth when I revisit my coloring choices for the 8th time... fuck where was I?

right, mine are mistakes. wrongright place at the wrongright time, mutagen was there and now they can swing swords around and eat pizza.

someone(s) was high tailing it outta a TGRI lab with some mutagen barrels, driving recklessly while a bunch of eco-vigilantes had broken out of a pet shop that was the face of a black market pet trade/medicine/exotic food racket of endangered species. hence where their bit of human pre-mutagenic contact comes from (the strike team of people who freed them from their cages because all of them were endangered species & destined for a tank, a cutting board or a pill box); including a sea turtle Venus, Leatherhead, Tokka, Rahzar, Man-Ray some others etc etc. Jennika keeping her origin because it was dope as fuck. splinter was just there watching this symphony of human fuckery happen and decided to adopt some kids with no one asking (it was tang shen's onryo that is rooted in Splinter's mind that was asking, shh)

and ever since it clicked when I was gathering ref shots, ✨sea turtle Venus just makes sense✨ to me, it's taken my brain stem and rung it like a bell for new year's nonstop and i am not mad

... fuck, I am but also am not looking forward to when I start delving into ninjutsu, ninpo, Venus' whole schtick and how the supernatural fits into this world that I definitely don't need to be fleshing out this much just to draw them chilling on April's couch.

i've got like over 70 refs, holy shit

51. turtle and a sit behind us and i mainly talk to them and ruby the entire rally, pinkie is oddly nice abt it

65. like an hour goes bye and i find out the trio is planning on jumping bbsf

66. i send that voice message to bbsf 

67. i find bbsf and we have, the best way to describe it, a moment…

68. bbsf leaves early

69. bbsf’s older sister finds out abt the almost jumping and chews the trio out

70. a bunch of other shit happened bc i was bouncing around like 4 groups but this is called the bbsf saga so everything else will have to wait until the other sagas

HEY POOKIESTAR! sorry for letting that ask marinate...i was very busy (i was lazy bababooing BUT IM HEREE!!😔)

also miss gworl i'm in the middle of a cyclone class 3 rn hehe..but cyclone is not really cycloning...ITS MORE CYCLOWNING🤡

ohhh so ga basically was threatening to jump BBSF because he bbsf grew close to manic pixie dream bow girl BECAUSE HE GA HAD A CRUSH ON HER OHHH

so bow came back from other side of cali very demure...

PINKIE IS A FURRY WTF...she wears a tail and wants to be called a japanese name ITS GIVING ASIANFISHING

..um..chile anyways...hell naw...does make sense though she acts like a feral child...🥱#imapinkiehater100percent

"me and bbsf share my water"FIRST THE SLUSHIE NOW THIS?? JUST SAY YOU WANNA KISS HIM AND SHARE SALIVA U STOOPID biatch U ARE DOWN BAD IN SUPERLATIVE FORM SO THAT MEANS YOU ARE "DOWN WORST"

"bbsf mentions that i’ve done his makeup before." i have a theory about this particular part...ill say in the end but im hella delulu yknow so don't listen to my words 100 percent lmfao (you should actually listen to me)

everyone else's names:🎀🌈✨💎🌺🦌🧸

the others:

for number 55 oh noo pookie im sorry to hear that...fawk pinkie...CAN'T SHE JUST SHUT HER GOOFY FURRY ASS UP

HE REJECTED PINKIE'S HUG AND PULLED U IN A HUGGGGG BOMBOCLATTTTT HE A MAN OF CULTURE HE LIKES YOU GIRL JUST FUCKING DATE ALREADYYYYY HOW MANY SIGNS ARE U TRYNA LOOK FOR U BLIND ASS

Y'ALL HAD A MOMENT OH MAHHHH GAWDDDDDD and not u saving him...stawp!! its giving hero x damsel in distress trope; bbsf is the damsel in distress ofc🎀

haiya but why did he try to frolick in the meadow with bow though...tskk i feel like he is kinda a player my dakoko 🥥

anyways my theory about the makeup thing...because i am a whore in THEORY and not in practice (i am but secretly hehe at times dw...3-5 business days)

ok so when u do someone's makeup...YOUR FACE IS CLOSE TO THEIRS RIGHTTTTT....you get what i mean...there is so much proximity there is no distance at all...BABABOOI

similar to when you are about to kiss someone [coughs coughs]...so the fact that he "randomly" remembered AND SEEMINGLY POINTS THAT OUT OF THE BLUE shows that this particular and notably phenomenal romantic and very intimate moment that emerged from the planets and stars from the milky way galaxy aligning [pro poetic yapper] has marked him or left an impact on him yknow what i mean...LIKE HE MIGHT THINK OF THIS MOMENT EVERY NIGHT OR SO OFTEN THAT HIS TOES ARE TINGLING OR HE IS GIGGLING AND BLUSHING LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL IN HIS ROOM...like y'all were close to kissing...he definitely was examining your face perhaps HIGH CHANCE of him staring at your lips [cutely sips her pomegranate tea under the covers with plenty of passion🍵🔥that shit bussing btw]

also him mentioning that shows his interest in you also in all delulu interpretation that this particular mention to you evokes a sense that he may have been secretly inquiring about whether you remember that very intimate moment of high chance of smoochy smooch camouflaged by you doing his makeup...to see if you have feelings for him or have a romantic interest in him...VOILA!!🎀

Sibling things I think the turtles would get up to, some one which are my own sibling experiences

Bully each other but the second someone bullies one of them it's fucking ON! "No one bullies my brother(s) like that! Except me!"

Leo: Hey Raph. I dare you to drink this.

Raph: What is that made of, Leo????

Leo: Everything in the fridge plus dad's expired face cream. You know, to add flavor. So come on, drink up, buddy!

Donnie: Raph, don't. That will send you to a hospital that we can't even take you to.

Raph: ....hand it over.

Donnie: No!

Convinced Mikey he was invisible.

Walk into each others rooms for 1) no reason but to stand there in the doorway on their phone until the other gets mad and it leads to a fight. 2) fart and leave without any other word.

Loudly yell from across the room about how their brother is a big dummy and he's stinky and many other childish insults. May break out into a fight, or Splinter might threaten grounding before a fight can start.

"Brother. Brother, come hither. Brother please. I'm dying, Brother. Ah. There you are, dear brother of mine. ......can you hand me the remote? I can't reach it." The other then throws the remote dangerously close to the other's face.

Pick their toe nails and toss it at the other. A fight breaks out.

"Look at this cool rock I found!" Proceeds to chuck the rock at their head.

Mikey: Oooooooooh, Leooooo! I love youuuuu!

Leo: What is it, Mikey?

Mikey: Did you know you're my favorite brother?

Leo: What did you do??

Mikey: I blamed you for something I did and Dad is hunting you down.

Leo: Was it bad?

Splinter from somewhere in the house: BLUEEEEE!

Leo: Oh. It was bad.

Mikey: Really bad.

Leo: Fine. I'll take the blame. But you owe me one.

Mikey: One free punch to the shoulder!

Leo: Make it two and it's a deal!

Splinter: WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO WISH YOU WERE NEVER MUTATED!

Mikey: Deal— now run! I'll make a distraction! It'll give you time to make up a lie!

[jodilin65]

Heading across Ohio on my virtual ride.

4 kids are visiting and riding around on bikes. Well, hopefully they’re visiting and not living here like at the old place. It would be harder to get away with that here, though, especially 4 of them. Regardless, can kids ever play without screaming?

Yesterday I stepped inside and said, “What is it with these people?”

Ray was hosing down the mold on the side of his place, and I was glad to see he didn’t have a pressure washer so it wouldn’t have woken me up. I said hello to him on my way out to grab the mail and he gave me the same abrupt response I got from the honker with a hint of fuck-off-and-leave-me-alone in it. Why did I ever think people were less friendly out West? I guess it was those few extremes out there that made it seem that way.

In the park group, a woman said she moved because while she wanted to live with her peers which was why she chose a 55+ place, she got junior high drama instead. She said she’ll miss many nice people that she knew here but management sucked, and she was tired of the component many refer to as the “mean girls” though it is no longer possible to leave the other gender out of that title! She said they bully, spread rumors, lie and talk behind your back and that the meanness spreads into meetings and events, poking fingers at people, yelling at residents, and is that a way for adults to behave?

I guess she served on the board for a while and said that she did her best to try to serve the community but certain people want it to stay ugly, mean and toxic!

I know exactly how she feels and I have only experienced a small taste of the immature bullshit that lives here. This is why I mostly keep to myself, as I told her.

Anyway, Ray was hosing and the honker was blowing his driveway so hopefully they’re getting ready to get the hell out of here. The honker has been spending a lot of time with his new lady friend. I’ve gotten more howling but less motorcycle so hopefully they’ll pick up where they left off when he returns. The howling only lasts for a minute or so. Happy is still more annoying. In fact, he just started his first round of barking for the day. I’m glad one of us around here thinks it’s funny as fuck.

The skies are full of planes as they usually are but over the weekend it’s been mostly small planes rather than commercials.

The turtle that comes around every now and then has gotten too big to slip under the fence in back. At least we think it’s the same turtle anyway.

Again, I was woken by what I thought was a thump but Tom was up and didn’t hear a thing. He says he thinks it’s in my brain and that he sometimes hears knocking that doesn’t exist. One time he thought someone was knocking on the door while he was asleep but when he checked the camera, he didn’t see anyone. He said it happens when he’s in between sleep and wakefulness but my “bangs” jolt me out of a dead sleep and it doesn’t matter which ear I sleep on.

I still feel like my sleep is so cursed no matter where we live or what I do. I admit I didn’t sleep with a mouthguard last night because it makes my cheeks bulge out a bit and I couldn’t get comfortable laying on my stomach with my cheeks pressing too hard into the pillow. It’s easier to adjust that when I’m lying on my side but it’s harder for me to fall asleep on my side. Pretty sure this thing won’t stop me from snoring if I flop onto my back in my sleep because my snoring comes from the back of my nose and not the back of my throat. I’ll make sure to use it tonight and see how it goes. Meanwhile, I’m tired but not crazy tired like my body wants to shut down completely.

Tom got his lab results yesterday and is still pre-diabetic. His good cholesterol is also too low, and there were a couple of other numbers that were borderline. He’s making a point of being more active. He went out walking this morning but came back quickly because it was chilly.

To say this is the coldest winter and spring is an understatement! Definitely surprised and disappointed by how many cold days we have here. It’s only been coming up to the low to mid-70s so I’m able to open windows during the daytime. At least we get to enjoy the fresh air.

Yesterday I felt warm and my heart raced and while I know that some of the junk I ate may have contributed to it, I still think my TSH is a bit low, so I cut my waiting time to just 10 minutes today. But this is the last time I’m going to do that before labs in June.

I may not be using my second Facebook account as much but I’ll still share links to future audios on the blog I created for that. I’ll mostly do audios when I’m on nights. The Facebook account might still be good for sharing pictures and random thoughts and happenings.

[konjura]

randomly..8, 15 and 45

8. I played handball in the projects I grew up in as a teenager if that counts

15. I'm allergic to pets but I'd love to have a dog. I've had birds, fish and a turtle as a kid

It completely skips the 40s for some odd reason but I'll do 55

55. Am I mean? In that annoying joking kind of way with my friends absolutely. Bullying is one of my love languages.

[mostlyvoid-partiallyturtles]

Hey hello how about 01, 12, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and 55 for the HORRIBLE ask game

Boss question - do you still like turtles

01: Do you have a good relationship with your parents?

It depends, based on the mood on both sides and what we’re talking about.

03: Do you regret anything?

Yeah, a couple decisions I’ve made.

05: What is your relationship status?

Single! (<- aroace, no qpr rn)

08: Played any sports?

Soccer when I was really little, and if it counts then marching band rn

12: Have you ever stayed up 48 hours?

Yeah, right before an international flight home that took 14 hours I stayed up about 24 hours prior and didn’t sleep on the plane, coupled with my being sick, I felt awful. I sleep for 16 hours straight after that

13: Do you hate anyone at the moment?

Yeah, a couple freshmen at my school that are little shits, childhood bullies, a couple politicians, etc

21: What are your plans for this weekend?

Room organization, geocaching, tbh idk really

34: Who/what was your last dream about?

It was super blurry and I don’t remember much, but the most recent dreams that come to mind are the tmnt jfk assassination and the Weird Al Yankovic and the Pitch Black Orange dreams

55: Are you mean?

Man I sure hope not

Boss question: do you still like turtles?

YES OMIGOSH YES

I just got like five holiday presents that were directly tmnt related bc me and one other person are the TMNT friends in my irl friend group lol

“I- I’ve been so transparent about how I’m going to destroy the government, I’ve explained my reasons, like, I’m destroying it because of a, b, c, they executed me, they betrayed me, you betrayed me... you know what, Tommy? You’ve made a decision today that can’t be undone, and you know what? I respect you, Tommy. You’re free to make your own choices, wrong as they are, that’s what anarchy is about. It’s about freedom, to do what you want. But all I have to say, Tommy, is that I hope you don’t come to regret it. “ OH MY GOD

i love it

01:08:40 techno doesnt trust dream pog

nother speech pog 01:09:10

“you know what I’ve learned, Phil? It’s that common interests are what bind people together, more than trust or anything, because I trust Tommy, I brought him in, I gave him food, the armor on his back, I made him weapons when everyone else ditched him, and what does he do?? He just goes crawlin’ back to the guys that exiled him. I can’t trust people on friendship alone, alright? Just common interest is the only thing I can trust, and we [Techno and Dream] have a common interest, we are going to destroy L’Manburg tomorrow, Phil, it’s gonna be gone, it’s gonna be a chunk error.”

01:14:48 all men do is betray technoblade, eat hot chip, and lie ALSDFJALDSFKAJSF IM LAUGHING SO HARD also why does techno casually use words like ‘exodus’ i love him but why

Parasocial relationships turning into obsessive stalking and/or entitlement and/or objectification is a symptom not a cause of something being very wrong.

Like. No. It's not causing brainrot. It's caused by something already being out of balance. Next they'll be saying videogames cause violence and D&D causes satanism and fanfic causes abusive relationships and vaccines cause the magnetization of the skull, goddddd

hey speaking of 'you can block anyone for any reason' -- if there's a new blog in a small fandom that just. irritates the fuck out of you and you don't want to see their content? even if they have done nothing wrong and are perfectly acceptable except for their taste in memes and/or what character(s) they tend to dump on?

block 'em!

and hope your moots don't think the new blog's wit is incisive 😅

in LGBTQIA+ the A stands for:

Asexual

Aromantic

Agender

AllyCloseted

shoutout to the 90s and early 2k kids who were in the closet but could get away with going to their schools' LGBTQ clubs when the A got added so they could tell their parents they were Allies and supporting their queer friends, or even just The Idea Of Gay People Existing Somewhere depending on the level and brand of conservatism surrounding them.

There are still kids out there for whom this is true. There are still adults out there for whom this is true. Please don't leave them out in the cold. Let them be safe and also stay sane without having to uproot every part of their lives.

You don't out someone without permission, and you don't bully people if it's not safe for them or if they feel uncomfortable or if they're not there yet. You all know that, yes! But then what happens to them if they need support WHILE they're in the closet?

PLEASE don't cut them out of a safe space they've managed to find, one that they can have without putting themselves at risk.

Let them be "allies" and get to know people IRL who can be their support once they're ready.

...

but yeet any motherfukcin jizzrag that DARES to say it DOESNT stand for aro, ace, and agender because THOSE assholes are just exclusionist turtle pimps

sincerely, a 40yo aroace enby substitute teacher

[EDIT: I did not mean to imply that ALL allies are closeted/questioning! Just that it's a super important space for those ones to have available to them. Because yeah you really don't wanna (FOR EXAMPLE) be telling your girlfriend's awesome supportive cishet dad to fuck off after he bakes you a gender repeal party cake 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️.

Quirkless

Chapter 2~

Walking to the park, I excepted my fate. Bakugo was no joke, and I knew it. I sat down at the bench and looked to see that it was 6:55 pm. I wasn't even nervous about what he would do, I was ready. If he beat me or killed me, I would at least have to move schools and be free of Meinu. I stared down at the ground as a shadow appeared over me. I looked up to see crimson eyes staring at me. What took me back was the pain hiding behind them. He was angry sure, but I could see how hurt he was in his eyes. It was obvious that he was hiding it, so I didn't dare say anything.

"Hey dumbass, stand up!" I stood up. I didn't care what he was gonna do. "Hit me," I took a confused step back.

"I- I'm sorry?" 

"You heard me. Nothing pisses me off more than a useless idiot. You don't have a quirk right?' I nodded. "Well, you should be able to throw a punch." 

"I'm confused." I was getting brave.

"About what idiot?"

"You bully Midoriya for not having a quirk right? Why would you want to get me to be stronger if you bully him?"

"God, are you my fucking therapist? That Deku is a lost cause, but you should at least be able to knock that bitch out. So hit me, weakling. I won't even use my quirk." I was frozen for a second. The great Katsuki Bakugo was teaching me how to fight. It was the first time someone had wanted to help me... help me be stronger. I wasn't going to let this pass, I was going to use his kindness to my advantage. We trained for the rest of the day. He taught me how to fight and protect myself. I never actually beat him in a fight, but it was one day of learning to fight, so I wasn't expecting much. It seemed like I had made a friend, but that was a sad dream.

Walking through the halls the next day, I was surprised to not see many people harm me. I assumed it was because everyone thought Bakugo beat me enough, and I had bruises from yesterday to support it. At the end of the day, however, I made a mistake. I saw Bakugo walking alone, and I went to thank him.

"Hey Bakugo, I wanted to thank you for teaching me. It gave me ho-" I felt a pain on my face. Falling to the ground, I held my bleeding nose. I could only smell blood and burnt flesh.

"Don't ever talk to me again you damn quirkless." With those words, he walked away. I couldn't say I wasn't ready for it. He had his image to keep up, but I wasn't going to lay down and take it anymore. That moment in my life could've been a turning point for the worse, but I caused me to work harder. I trained my body to be a machine. Training in gymnastics, close combat and weapon combat, and even training with a whip. At the end of my third year, I was ready for UA. My body and my mind were sharp. I got into UA with flying colors, being the first quirkless student in the hero course, and the first quirkless pro.

Back to the Present~

While walking behind Bakugo, Y/N's head kept replaying him hitting her to the ground. She wanted to talk to him, she wanted to hit him back, but at the same time, she wanted to thank him for pushing her. Why is he MY partner! I've spent so long avoiding him! Y/N felt something bump the back of her legs. She looked down to see a small girl with tears in her eyes.

"Are you ok sweetie?" Y/N questioned, she noticed the girl was scared. "What happened?" Bakugo heard Y/N's voice and turned around to see the little girl.

"M-My kitty is stuck!" The little girl pointed up to a five-story building. Y/N heard w 'tch' from behind her as Bakugo started walking towards the building. The cat was on a narrow windowsill five stories up.

"Move out of the way quirkless!" Bakugo was getting ready to launch himself up when Y/N grabbed his hand to hold him on the ground.

"If you shot your way up, you could scare the cat and cause it to fall."

"Ok, then what do you suggest, princess?" he questioned in a mocking tone. 

"Just watch." Looking up, there was an easy way to launch herself up the fifth story. Y/N ran to the alley between buildings, and shot her way up, jumping and swinging onto the nearby street light. She jumped over to the window next to the cat and landed on the windowsill. Y/N stuck out her hand and flicked her wrist. As she did this, small claw-like blades came out of the gloves. She grabbed the cat and clawed her way down the building. Y/N turned to the girl. "Here you go, sweetie! Now go back to your parents." The young girl hugged the cat and ran back into the building. Flicking her wrist again, she retracted her claws.

"Impressive for a quirkless," Katsuki wasn't gonna lie, that was impressive for anyone, but he wouldn't dare say it out loud.

"You know, I would prefer you called me by my hero name when we're in costume," Y/N smirked up at him.

"And what would that be?"

"Night Otter."

"Ok, and what's your real name?"

Y/N looked at him, "You really don't remember me? Kinda hurts. Y/N L/N."

He gave her a confused look. "We've never met before today."

"Alright, whatever." She turned and continued walking. "Let's just get this done so I can request a new partner." Bakugo didn't bother saying anything, knowing he was going to do the same. Damn quirkless. Who needs you anyway? While she was walking away, he was able to look at her costume for the first time. Y/N wore a skin-tight, black, leather-like costume. The costume was sleeveless, but covered her legs and went up into a turtle neck. She was wearing a brown combat boot that had small pockets on the inside to hold weapons. On her back, she had two katanas under a brown aviator style jacket. The jacket looked old like I had been passed down, but the style was new. It was more of a crop top with sleeves that ended after the elbow. Her gloves were the same brown, and were fingerless, with little notches on the knuckles that held her claws. Her belt was lined with first aid, a grappling hook, a few grenades, and a whip. Her h/l h/c hair was down, and she had old aviator goggles the rested on her forehead. Bakugo had to admit that it suited her. His eyes then landed on the patch on her arm. 'US Air Force'. Was someone she knew from the Air Force in America? Y/N looked to see him staring at her patch.

"Take a photo it'll last longer." Bakugo turned his head away, caught off guard by her sudden comment.

"Shut up damn quirkless! Let's just go." He stated, pushing ahead of her. I can't wait for this day to be over! Y/N thought, following the angry blonde.

Book Review: THE SEVENTH MANSION by Maryse Meijer

(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review though Edelweiss. Trigger warning for sexual assault, homophobia, violence against animals, and disturbing sexual content.)

-- 4.5 stars --

There is this person I love. And he’s not even a person.

After Xie's parents split and an environmental disaster sends his already precarious mental health spiraling, Xie and his father Erik relocate from California to an unnamed town in the rural south, in search of the proverbial fresh start.

At first, Xie is your garden-variety teenage outcast: melancholy. goth. vegan. an outsider. friendless. forgettable. Yet he's quickly "adopted" by the only other vegans in the school - girlfriends Jo and Leni, who together make up the entirety of FKK.

The group's animal rights activism slowly evolves from leafleting to direct action: the trio breaks into a local mink farm, freeing as many of its captives as they can. Xie is nabbed during the getaway, and suddenly he goes from "nobody" to "that freak who vandalized the Moore farm". Instead of silence and indifference, Xie is met by hostile sneers, gossip, and relentless bullying. He takes a leave of absence from high school, instead getting one-on-one tutoring at the local library. His parents are forced to pay restitution, and Xie's placed on probation.

Xie's only respite is nature: his burgeoning vegetable garden; the small but pristine forest behind his house; and, eventually, the mysterious light, nestled among the branches, that leads him to a tiny church - and his beloved. St. Pancratius, who was martyred in 304 A.D. and whose remains are on covert display in a one-room church in the middle of nowhere.

He traces the image with his finger. The story the same in every version: A boy on a road, refusing to lift his sword against the lamb, losing his head every time the story is told, again and again and again.

Still, all of this comes with a cost: loving nature, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral, means saying goodbye to it one day. Relationships can be messy, even when they're with clean bones. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own shit that we're oblivious to what our loved ones are going through. Maybe your tutor shows up to work one day piss drunk and tells you about her abortion. Or your friends drag you to a backwoods meeting of environmental activists, where one of them sexually assaults you. Or you show up to a mass protest that is even more massive than you anticipated, and find you're unable to protect yourself, let alone the 55 billion+ land animals slaughtered for food every year in the US alone (animalclock.org).

The problem is too big, even when it's one of the smaller ones. The problem is impossible.

While disturbing, Xie's theft of a skeleton is not the worst crime he'll commit in his teen years. As FKK becomes involved with a local animal rights group, and Xie's sanctuary is threatened, he careens toward an inevitable (????) collision with the outside world, which neither understands him - nor cares to. (Fuck capitalism.)

THE SEVENTH MANSION is one weird-ass book; I mean, the main character has sex with a skeleton (!). This is certainly the wildest aspect of the story, but it's not alone. For example, take the narrative structure, which has a kind of stream-of-(Xie's)-consciousness vibe. Many of the sentences are fractured, even forced, as though we're pulling them from the depth's of Xie's tortured soul. His thoughts. Are broken. Up. Like this. Conversely, there are no chapters, and so many of the paragraphs are just huge, unbroken blocks of text - almost as though Meijer is framing Xie in opposition to the larger world around him.*

I suspect that THE SEVENTH MANSION is one of those love it or hate it dealios. Personally, I loved it, even as some parts proved excruciatingly unbearable to read.

I don't know whether Meijer is vegan, but she gets so much right; sometimes it felt like she was rooting around inside my head. I went vegetarian my freshman year of college (1996, not to date myself) and vegan about 9 years later. Reading Xie was like having a mirror held up to my own depressive, anxious, vegan psyche. One thing carnists probably don't realize about walking around this world as a vegan is: it takes a ton of mental work, of suppression and dissociation, just to get through the day.

Animal suffering is omnipresent, and largely accepted. From Carl's Jr. commercials to classroom trips to the zoo; leather car seats to team lunches at non-vegan restaurants, where you'll be forced to watch your coworkers and friends devour the corpse of a once-living creature - someone's mother, brother, or child - we are constantly forced to bear witness to the oppression of animals. Worse, to pretend as though it's of no consequence: just to get along, or because doing otherwise would quickly devour your time, your prospects, your relationships. To say that it's depressing is an understatement.

Whether Xie is living through the oil spill that finally made his world "snap," or gazing into the eyes of caged mink, I was right there with him, trying not to cry. Not to break. There's so much suffering in the world; if you try to take it all in, to truly understand its scope, it will swallow you whole.

Speaking of the oil spill, which was the impetus for Xie to go vegan - Meijer's description of this moment in Xie's life brought back so many memories. When I decided to stop eating meat, I was working at a local grocery store. Every now and again, they had an employee appreciation dinner (in lieu of a raise, natch), which basically consisted of all you can eat burgers and hot dogs in the break room. Everyone would stuff their faces, taking in as many free calories as possible. Not because they were hungry, but to get as much of a leg up on our cheap ass employer as possible. The sheer gluttony and waste of it all is what finally did it for me. No one needed to eat seven hamburgers in one night; we did because we could, because not doing so would be to lose out. The working class eating the chattel, and no one eating the rich.

Point being, that's a singular moment in my life that I'll never forget. It stands out in stark relief, right alongside the deaths of my husband and furkids (six dogs and one cat down and counting). If I close my eyes, I can almost transport myself back there, white starched shirt, demo table, 7PM Friday fatigue, and all.

The last time he ate meat he was twelve years old, after the spill: Xie was Alex then. Even miles from the beach, they could smell something off; at first they thought it was the sandwiches, ham pressed hot in the pockets of Erik’s windbreaker, but the closer they got to the beach the stronger the smell became, noxious, chemical. They parked at their usual spot, yellow tape blocking access to the beach beyond. A black ribbon flat against the horizon; that was the water. No trace of blue. On the rocks below the lot a half dozen pelicans huddled together. Coated from beak to foot in oil. Don’t touch them, his father said. Someone will come wash it off. But there was no one. The black sea lapping the sand. Those bewildered eyes. He watched as one of the birds collapsed, its head twisted sideways against its folded neck. His father pulled him away. The fire on the water burned for two weeks; the beach remained black for a year. Sea turtles, dolphins, whales, gulls, crabs, otters, fish, birds rolled up by the waves in the tens of thousands. Oil on meat on sand. No stopping it. Xie got headaches, bloody noses; he was always tired, couldn’t sleep. His mother standing in the doorway, Stop playing games, you’re fine. But his father was never angry. Scared of what he saw. Xie in the dark. Unable to make it from one room to another. The people who used to go to the beach just went somewhere else. Life as usual. Slumped in the backseat as his father fed gas into the truck he suddenly couldn’t stand it. Stopped standing it. He opened the back door, started walking. Alex, his father called, but he was not Alex anymore. He poured out all the milk in the house and fed the meat to the dogs next door and rode his bike everywhere.

So yeah, our circumstances may be different, but Xie's conversion sure hit me in the feels.

Meijer also does an excellent job capturing the heartbreak and urgency of Millennials and Gen Z. As tormented as I might have been in high school, at least I had the luxury of not thinking too much about climate change - at least until Al Gore came along. Xie and his peers, on the other hand, will bear the brunt of their predecessors' unchecked greed. Nowhere is this divide more eloquently laid bare than in Jo's post-march argument with Erik (who is likely around my age):

Didn’t you see how he just folded up out there? He can’t protect himself, he won’t. You don’t know what he was like, before we came here, okay, you didn’t watch him, lying in bed day after day, ready to cut his goddamn throat because of all this shit, this constant litany of doomsday statistics, he just takes it in and he can’t—he doesn’t know what to do with it, and you want to keep shoving it in his face, when it’s—it’s enough! Staring at Jo, who stares back. Look, whatever you’re afraid of, whatever he’s afraid of, it’s already happening, okay? And he knows it, he’s living it, and he wants to do something about it. If there was some other option, some fantasyland where everything is going to be fine as long as we bury our heads in the sand, then believe me, I’d take it. But there’s not. Not for me and not for Leni and not for Xie and if you think you can protect him by denying that then you’re just—wrong. I’m sorry. She holds Erik’s gaze; he nods, the first to look away.

My gods, that scene just cuts me to the bone. As bleak as things are now, I cannot imagine going through all this - climate change, COVID-19, a Trump presidency, Democratic ineptitude/complicity, *gesturing wildly* - as an adolescent. Their elders cut them down before they even started crawling.  

On a lighter note, Xie's scenes with his clueless mom and her equally clueless new husband (Jerry!) brought a(n admittedly wry) smile to my face. If I had a penny for every times this scene has played out in my life, I'd have enough cash monies to start my own animal sanctuary.

Don’t you want some vegetables, Xie? Jerry asks. I don’t eat animal products, Xie murmurs, and Jerry, confused, staring at the green beans, How is this— Butter, Xie interrupts. Butter is from milk, which is from cows, which are animals. Jerry blinks. Gosh, I didn’t even think of that. Sorry. Xie shrugs.

There's so much to obsess about here: I love Jo and Leni together, and their opposing circumstances just make the relationship so much more complex - and potentially fraught. Erik and tutor Karen (I wonder if the name choice was intentional?) are interesting supporting characters, and their relationships with Xie are so beautiful and nuanced; they both support him the best they know how.

Xie's interactions with his phantom lover are a little more confusing and difficult for me to comprehend. Perhaps P. represents Xie's inability to connect with the human world around him, or at least not as well as the more abstract, ephemeral natural world. Possibly P. is Xie's ideal human: one who would rather die than raise a finger against an animal (or one who cannot disappoint you by voicing their own opinions). Or maybe it's simpler than that, and Xie's hallucinations are just that: hallucinations. In any case, it made an already odd book absolutely bizarre, but in a good way, so I can't complain.

* This could just be because I was reading an early copy in need of further editing - but, seeing as how some formatting was already present, I think it was intentional. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3672191091

The number of atoms in the known universe is estimated at 10^80. So what's the probability of your existing? It's the probability of 2 million people getting together – about the population of San Diego – each to play a game of dice with trillion-sided dice. They each roll the dice, and they all come up the exact same number – say, 550,343,279,001.

Ya know, for all my love of mermaids and the ocean, I've only ever been to an aquarium once! It was a good one though, a huge one in Boston! They had a sea turtle they rescued there that only had three flippers! She was so beautiful.

Looks cute.

Pets Wilhelm’s cheek when they first meet. Get your filthy paws off.

Introduces Alex like a fucking weirdo, pushes him physically to stand straight and then tells him to carry the bags.

Doesn't let Wille carry his own bag, but it's only for appearances.

Wants to trap women when they are too insecure to object, like WTF? Somebody, please call the police on this man.

Harrases his "friends" for not bringing alcohol and drugs to school.

Looks at Simon. Who gave you the right?

Makes Eric believe that Wille could trust him.

Talks to Simon. Again who gave you the right?

Calls Simon "Sosse" and doesn't even know his name. He is been there for a WHOLE MONTH you jerk.

Thinks all non-res are drug dealers. When in reality he is the addict and the dealer

Is too smug when Wille asks him if he can sit with him.

Looks extremely creepily at Wilhelm and Simon, Dude get a life. and then proceeds to INTERRUPT WILLE AND SIMON TALKING FOR THE FIRST TIME, to "rescue" him from his situation.

Puts a hand around Wille. (Stop touching people, you are making everyone very uncomfortable.)

Looks too freaking good in his stupid turtle neck and his stupid sunglasses.

TOUCHES SIMON'S HAIR. I have to ask again and louder this time, WHO GAVE YOU THE FUCKING RIGHT?

Is the reason why Simon has to go see his dad.

Throws the worst initiation ever.

Gently touches Wille's neck and brings their foreheads together and looks him in the eyes. Uhh.. stop it. just WHY?

Thinks he can kill people and won't get caught? Once again somebody please call the cops on this man.

But then goes and sounds too freaking cute when he speaks English.

Tries to push himself onto Felice when she is just having fun dancing. (doing that shit even when she is clearly pushing him away.) GROSS.

Tries to interrupt Wille and Simon again with his stupid "Wille." But also sort of forgiven for this, because you just brought them closer.

To be continued…
