#The dream of the blue turtles

[beautflstranger]

Now that I have found you In the cool fire of your evening smile For the shade of your parasol And your love flows through me

Though I drink at your pool I burn for you I burn for

You and I are lovers When night time folds around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me

Though an ocean soothes my head I burn for you I burn for you

Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me

Though I lie here so still I burn for you I burn for you - Sting

( the amazing Omar Hakim on drums. )

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eight

Then I went off to fight some battle That I'd invented inside my head Away so long for years and years You probably thought or even wished that I was dead While the armies are all sleeping Beneath the tattered flag we'd made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart

Album of the day 2: The Dream Of The Blue Turtles by Sting (1985) featuring Fortress Around Your Heart #Sting #thedreamoftheblueturtles #dreamoftheblueturtles #fortressaroundyourheart #80s

When the players want to strike on their own outside their collectives, they do have a wish to be understood much more than they were within the confines of their original bands. Sting, to give you an example, felt a need to prove himself. Therefore, The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, his debut, reflects the troubled production that occured thanks to such a mindset at the time. The LP seems to present a struggle of someone avoiding what he did before without disregarding the latter completely. He appears to be tense, since he demands to be taken as a real deal despite him achieving that with The Police. I mean, listen to his singles from the album, even they sound like him chasing the persona of a serious musician, worthy of a serious consideration.

Hey you guys remember him? He was my favorite character from the series back then

My design for Draxum in tmnt 2003 universe, he's an alien from a planet of warriors but it's now retired and dedicates his life to science...

today's river or thinking what you're thinking i am what you thought

early this morning, i dreamt of a pad of giant purple sticky notes, lying on my lap, my hand poised to write the next step forward for this life of mine

yesterday i followed a water snake swimming along the shore and found a seashell buried in the mud on the side of the road

on saturday i saw an andean condor, a fire eater, and a busking tortoise

today,i am at a loss, it's already so muggy hot and it's not even summer yet

I see so much art for the future Rise turtles, BUT WHAT OF THESE!? So i did a quick messy sketch during my 1hr lecture

2003 - S3E21

[theinfinitedivides]

Sting is always picking the most interesting tempos to put his songs in or doing something funky with the key signature and ykw. i respect that it f*cking works

Quick summary of Apple Arcade games I've played thus far

All games were played on the Apple TV 4K 128GB model, most with Dualsense, while games that support Siri Remote used the remote instead.

Sonic Dream Team: The maingame (except the contrived red-coin system) is a masterpiece, and the first Sonic platformer I've ever completed. The postgame(s) got weary on me, however.

Easy Come Easy Golf: Plays pretty good for a non-motion-controlled golf game. Could need to have far more courses far earlier in the game, as meaningful variation is practically none even at rank 8.

Way of the Turtle: Very good from the 25〜90% marks of the game, where it's a better Crash Bandicoot game than a lot of actual Crash Bandicoot games. But the endgame levels are brutal to the point of feeling like they weren't worth it.

Alto's Adventure: Honestly a fairly good game. I recommend it to people who've just bought an Apple TV and who are learning how the remote control works.

Amazing Bomberman: Complete rubbish. I could count the framerate on one hand, and that's on the newest Apple TV model.

Gear.Club Stradale: Kept crashing to desktop all the time. And I mean all the time. I was only able to complete 1 race on 5 attempts at starting the game.

Rayman Mini: Severely outdated. No one wants autorunners anymore, and certainly not autorunners that mangle the Rayman Legends timed missions.

Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat: Safe to assume that Apple told the devs to make the game less weeb than most other TnT games, which is a good thing. The Power of Love is a nice touch, and the evergreen Cruel Angel's Thesis, the Touhou Song (Night of Knights), and Funiculi Funicula (a.k.a. the Spider-Man 2 pizza song).

Tetris Beat: Weeb stuff. Gave up after 10min because I hadn't heard of any of the songs.

Samba de Amigo Party-to-Go: On the entirely opposite end of the scale, and in fact has too many dance-pop songs. I do give positive shoutout to that its version of Macarena use the actual lyrics, and not the ones with the teenage girls chatting.

Riptide GP Renegade: Practically unplayable with Siri Remote, so I never tested it with Dualsense out of spite. Never got past the tutorial.

Pocket Card Jockey: Tested to see how far I could bruteforce my way through the intro with a Siri Remote, far past the alleged "Connect a controller" prompts. I miraculously managed to get to the first main level, at which point I felt that I had done my duty and never played it afterwards.

Frogger and the Rumbling Ruins: Managed to be less controllable than Pocket Card Jockey even with a Dualsense. Couldn't get past the very first section.

My Little Pony Mane Merge: The "Merge" genre is by itself the worst new game genre in several decades, but Gameloft clearly can't possibly have played even one puzzle console game in their lives, judging by how they mangled the controls beyond recognition.

Kimono Cats: Hardly has any activities in it that count as a game, and the few small remnances that are there are either weeb or Daily Challenges.

Disney SpellStruck: A good concept and is fun to play early on, but dear lords does it get repetitive. Not to mention the word validation system rejecting a lot of common words while accepting nonsense. The cameo of Tinker Bell's house from her titular movies is a nice touch, but a very short touch.

Warped Kart Racers: "We already have Sonic Racing Transformed at home" vibes. Additionally, the battle mode system is the worst in the history of car games. Yes, worse than that of FlatOut 3.

Squiggle Drop: Incomprehensible career progression, not helped by puzzles that start to make no sense after the circa 25th one.

JellyCar Worlds: If you've played 10 levels or so, you've essentially played them all.

Marble It Up Mayhem: Roughly half of the point-to-point levels were reasonably good. The "Collect spheres in a zone" levels were pretty boring.

Beyond Blue: I refuse to believe that any professional livestreamer scuba diver would willingly want to use a suit she described as itchy.

Ballistic Baseball: Seemingly impossible to hit the ball, and the English commentator has the least enthusiastic voice I've ever heard in my life.

hi!! not a writing request, but i just wanted to ask if you have any general wof agere headcanons?

there's nearly no overlap between the agere community and wof fans, so i like asking this question whenever i do find somebody else who's interested in both things! :DD

(ps. really enjoyed your winter fic!!! kiddo just wanted to get cozy and not do math, which is the most relatable thing ever)

ooh!! :D yippee! thank you!!

yeah i have tons of headcanons (most of these are kin memories lol... take it from me, winter is an age regressor, i know bc i am him)

Turtle and Blue are fantastic caregivers!!! They don't really know that's what they're doing, but they're pretty good at it! :)

Qibli is a flip! Middle regressor/caregiver!

Winter (me) doesn't know what age he regresses to, but he's just kinda vibin

ermmm i can't think of any more right now but!! :) thank you for asking!

also AA THANK YOU!!!!!!! i'm so glad you liked it! :) it was directly based off something that happened to me irl, except i didn't have any roommates, i just went "yeah no thanks" and colored :)
