I love tmnt turtle ocs just as much as the next person, but you guys NEED to be more creative. Look at the world of tmnt—there are so SO many types of creatures to work with at your disposal, and in the case of rise, LEGIT MAGIC—FANTASY-WITCHES AND MAGICAL SPELL-CASTERS. I may not be the greatest author out there but one thing I know for certain is that Worldbuilding is a GREAT tool, especially in fanfiction when you can build off more on the world that is already GIVEN to you! Don’t limit yourself to the popular bunch! I need you guys to make cool specific mutants like— the European Rose chafer beetle mutant!!!!

You can have the best, smartest, most humanitarian laws possible, but they're only worth as much as they're followed and enforced

kinda makes me sad seeing people talk about video games online and like. they've read every piece of information about it on the internet & are now stressing how to do things perfectly & asking panicked questions about early plot beats and stuff. like that cannot be a fun way to play a game ?

“What compels people to risk their lives to leave their homes for Europe and ignore offers for help that they fear will send them back to the place they just left” is not the same question as “why did rich person take stupid risk for tourism”

Kingy, I know you had to have shared a dance with your Queen for Valentine's! (or at least sometime this week...or in the future asfghj) Is there a specific song either of you favors most for such an occasion? It'd be nice to know which music should go with the magical visual I've got in my head of you two 👀

BLAHAHAHAHA!

Did I scare you? Of course I did. You don't have to tell me, I can feel your fear through the screen. Heeheehee!

Kingy?

Hm... A fair question. My darling and I have many favorites. At times, we like to freely sway to When Shadows Fall.

It's lovely to hold her in my arms while she sings...

Though, she also has a special interest in carousels. I introduced her to this and you should've seen how happily she glided about the room like an enchanting spirit.

...if I give you any more of our favorites, I'll never shut up about her. Oh, my lovely Lune...

What are you looking at me like that for? Think I'm going soft? I'll have all of you know that a man can rain down destruction and conquer the world all the while still doting on his wife like the treasure she is. It will only make you more tenacious, take it from me!

//Image limit and we done for the day.

//How's everyone's Christmas? I hope it was good. Mine was decent.

//I tried to keep the sketches having some flow to them so we aren't randomly jumping between them and making it seem nothing is being done.

//This should have some consistency with them. But let me know if you think this is better or if the old format was better.

//And while we had some fun moments like Mikado going green, we also had Kanata waking up at long last...abet she isn't doing okay.

//Hope you all have a good Christmas and here's to a good Boxing Day tomorrow.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

watching early s6 is so funny because you get to see how the uk views the us and it's so wrong.
