Saw someone post a joke about John not knowing what owls look like so he just shrugs off that Alexander is a literal cryptid.

Really enjoying the Malevolent s5 lineup so far. Arthur Lester and his adventuring party of trans allegories.

i saw on your queue list that you’re wanting to do a papatello au!!! wondering if you would spare some headcanons????

ps your writing is great!!

[with heavy sarcasm] oh no, not someone asking me to discuss one of my favorite fic ideas, the absolute horror

after a terribly unfortunate incident (donnie learns he has a breeding kink and doesn't check to see if the two of you are biologically compatible before enjoying it, thoroughly, over a long period of time) it is discovered that you are pregnant. oops

after a days-long conversation where he freaks out because he's terrified about your safety when he runs some tests and the fetus is very much going to be a turtle with a shell inside of you, the two of you decide to... try. to try and keep it. it feels a bit like a miracle, after all, though he's very very careful to monitor the entire time. and well he should, as it's a difficult pregnancy; they actually end up taking her out a little early and putting her in an egg-like incubator for the last month or so when he starts getting concerned about some pain you're having.

the two of you name her lavinia, after splinter's naming conventions. but very quickly, mikey shortens that to lavi. she's very much a softshell turtle mutant, but she has your smile and (as she grows older) black hair just like papa splinter from having more human DNA.

lavi is the actual poster child of being a daddy's girl. from birth, she favors him for almost everything: being held, being fed, being bathed; if donnie's not doing it or close, she's fussy.

donnie is the actual poster child of being the world's most obnoxious father in the entire world. he's that guy who will insert his kid into every conversation, bending or even snapping its relevance to shoehorn her in. he has pictures upon pictures. videos of lavi doing absolutely nothing except being cute.

and she is so fucking cute. but she's also a bit of a demon, just like her father. wicked smart and always getting into trouble. worse still, if she gets caught, she just looks at donnie with big eyes like 🥺 and it's over. she's not getting in trouble.

lavi also really loves her uncle raph, and she has taken to stealing his catch phrases because she thinks they're funny. you have a video on your phone of her running agilely away from donnie with something very fragile and important, giggling and yelling 'stealing LIKE A BOSS' as donnie chases her, teeth clenched and hands outstretched, going 'lavi, dearest, sweetest little bug whomst i love endlessly and forever, please give that back to papa Right. Now.'

her favorite uncle tho is probably uncle leo. he has cool comic books and watches fun tv shows. she likes to climb onto his shell and curl up to take a nap. a picture of leo crying the first time she did that remains your contact photo for him for a long, long time.

this whole au is just an excuse for me to dump cute headcanons about donnie being the best dad in the world and no one has stopped me yet, so. yeehaw

Merthyr Mawr Skulls, Swansea Museum, Wales

A large burial mound at Merthyr Mawr, near Bridgend, was excavated in 1904 by a local gentleman called William Riley.

He found several tombs in the mound; they were formed of upright slabs of stone with another stone over the top. This kind of tomb is called a cist. The skeletons in the tombs lay crouched on their sides and some tombs contained decorated pots or beakers.

These people were immigrants to Britain from Central Spain. We know they lived by farming and made simple metal tools. They were different to other people living here because they did not cremate the bodies of their dead, but buried them individually in graves. Because they put beakers in with them we sometimes call them the Beaker People. Their beakers were decorated with patterns but were just their everyday household pots.

These are the skulls of one adult male and two children. They have been dated to about 2,000 BCE, making Merthyr Mawr one of a very few sites found to have been used by the nomadic Beaker People at the end of the Neolithic or beginning of the Bronze Age.

i just wanna clarify that when Israel "recovers bodies" of the hostages, they're not bringing back entire preserved, identifiable corpses. it's that the IDF found remains assumed to be human, removed them, did a DNA test to confirm they're human and on the hostage list, and then brought them back to Israel for burial.

More bones!
