"A story doesn't need a theme in order to be good" I'm only saying this once but a theme isn't some secret coded message an author weaves into a piece so that your English teacher can talk about Death or Family. A theme is a summary of an idea in the work. If the story is "Susan went grocery shopping and saw a weird bird" then it might have themes like 'birds don't belong in grocery stores' or 'nature is interesting and worth paying attention to' or 'small things can be worth hearing about.' Those could be the themes of the work. It doesn't matter if the author intended them or not, because reading is collaborative and the text gets its meaning from the reader (this is what "death of the author" means).
Every work has themes in it, and not just the ones your teachers made you read in high school. Stories that are bad or clearly not intended to have deep messages still have themes. It is inherent in being a story. All stories have themes, even if those themes are shallow, because stories are sentences connected together for the purpose of expressing ideas, and ideas are all that themes are.

ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE, people dropping mad mad sums of money on gfms and charities and stuff are extremely impressive but that DOES NOT MEAN that putting like $5 towards someone's fund or any good cause is any less valuable, a lot of crowdfunding is about momentum and those single digits add up super fast, you do not need to be Rolling In The Dough to make someone's day!! moving the dial at all is extremely positive!!

legend tells that Thoth, god of knowledge and magic, played cards with Khonsu, god of the moon, and won 5 extra days worth of moonlight. he gave them to the sky goddess Nut (who was forbidden from giving birth on any day of the then 360-day year), subsequently allowing her to produce Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys—one on each of the five days
no one knows that Thoth was up to with the whole “leap year” thing. after all, there’s no way Nut could give birth to just 1/4th of a god. unless…..
no way!!!! this has become a CERTIFIED MEDJED POST!!!!!!!!!!

Shanks is suuuuch a titties man.
If you wear a top or dress that pushes them up or shows significant cleavage, it is over for him. You literally will not be able to hold a conversation with this man because he's too busy fantasising about undressing you here and now.
If they're sore for any reason, he very graciously offers to massage them, instructing you to sit between his legs so he can reach around and massage them for you. Sessions like this almost always end in him turning you around and asking you to ride his cock so he can watch your tits bounce in his face.
As soon as he gets you alone, his mouth is on your tits and he's not letting go until you start whining for more.
When you're lying in bed together relaxing, one minute he's admiring your beauty and the next he's pushing up your shirt to get at your nipples. He claims that it soothes him and you roll your eyes but let him do it anyway.
If you have nipple piercings, he can't even hide how turned on he is. He's initially distraught that he can't suck on your nipples, but when you tell him he can still kiss and leave hickeys on your boobs, he immediately recovers and whisks you away so he can do exactly that.
As soon as the piercings heal, Shanks begs you to let him fuck your tits. He asks you to push your tits together and tells you how pretty you look for him. He cums in record time, sliding his cock between your tits. He cums all over your chest, and as your start to stand to clean up, he stops you and asks you to just sit there for a few minutes so he can enjoy the sight of your cum covered tits for just a little longer.

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.
It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.
Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.
