Hey, you haven't posted in awhile. Just wanted to pop in and say I hope you're ok
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From out of the glistening tube steps a dripping, ominous figure - what was usually vibrant, silky blue fur, full of volume and flair, was instead slick and wet with bio-suspension fluid. The lungs, too, take a moment to evacuate all of that gunk, taking their first, reborn breath.
There's a wet clearing of the throat.
". . . I was on vacation?"
Tumblr media
HI.
Yes, I'm quite all right, as it happens! I've just had some fairly up and down months with a lot of emotional tumult that made it rather tricky to be online in the Tumblr space. I probably should have announced things, rather than simply blipped off the face of the Earth, but I just.
I wasn't in a particularly great place, a lot of the time, and I kinda wanted to limit my online exposure in some ways.
That being said, I rather came to miss Tumblr, the ability to share my thoughts in a more cogent, direct fashion, and to just roleplay without restrictions! So, I'm back, and gratified you were concerned, though I sincerely apologise for making you worry!
I'd also be lying if I didn't admit that part of the reason I delayed coming back was my rather large stack of drafts and threads and asks that I've allowed to pile up, so, I'm executing a bit of a clean up, and dropping a lot of threads I've accumulated.
Asks, I'm mostly keeping, but I'm going to do my best to get through them at a steady pace, and I'll be trying to limit the amount of memes I post, so as to ensure I don't get too many in to replace the ones I've finished!
For roleplay blogs - if there's a thread we have that you particularly wish to maintain, chances are that, if you remember it, I want to retain it too, and it's still in my drafts. That being said, feel free to drop me a DM and say, hey, I'm still interested in pursuing XYZ thread - even if I didn't plan on dropping it, knowing you're keen to keep going with it does bump it up my priorities, as it were.
For non roleplay blogs like yourself - again, my most sincere apologies for worrying you, and I hope to be around, if not entirely regular, while I ease myself back into things!

Ten People I'd Like To Know Better (meme)
I was tagged by the amazing @kabretoss ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ hope my answers don't make you regret asking!!
last song: the bob's burgers cover of Pump Up the Jam called Pump Up the Gayle, we just watched that episode and the cover was so funny
last book: I'm reading Nona the Ninth, as most people who follow me know, because they have to endure it in recaps. I have a bunch of non fiction books I'm also going through for different reasons, but I'm reading them slowly because I either save them for specific moments or I'm working on something with them (for example, there's The Light of Discovery by Toni Packer, which I'm currently carrying around if I have to go somewhere, a bunch of tarot history books including but not limited to: Letitia Barbier's Visual Archive, Paul Huson's Mystical Origins of the Tarot, Joseph Campbell and Richard Roberts's Tarot Revelations, because I'm making my own tarot guide, very focused on historical depictions, artistic renditions and symbolism).
last movie: I've been catching up with award season the past month and writing one sentence reviews of all the films in letterboxd, which I might share on tumblr when I'm done, the last one I watched was Queer, the Guadagnino adaptation.
last tv show: bob's burgers, as previously established, but I'm also watching star trek tng, beyond goodbye and drag race s17
sweet/spicy/savory: it depends on the moment tbh, I'm probably more often a savory kind of person in general, but I love to cook everything and to learn new recipes of any kind
last thing I searched for online: warrior nun, I wanted to find a cool beatrice pic to send someone
current obsession: we have a new puppy!!! her name is Dana after Scully!! she's currently sleeping across from me
looking forward to: I opened my last jar of pumpkin jam and I want to have café con leche with cream cheese and pumpkin jam on bread (especially since Beyond Goodbye has a lot of coffee in it and it's making me crave coffee every episode). Also, the Oscars nominations tomorrow, if the situation is safe enough to carry on with that.
Tagging generally, whether I've known you for over a decade or for months @lady-harrowhark @pastelcryptid @daphneblakess @sinisterspinster @coldpapernightmare @tojos @orjustsomeghostofme @jadefyre @otakusapien @bewareofitalics

Hey feel free to ignore this if you've already answered something like this, but for all the focus on comics ( rightfully) how do you think the various animated versions of Hank McCoy stack up and compare to one another?
"I endeavour to never ignore a question, for in answering, one reveals a truth about one's self - and truth, whether that be scientific truth or personal truth, is what always saves us."
Tumblr media
Mm, a good question! There have been rather a lot of them over the years, haven't there? All right, I'll give it my best shot!
Our rating system will be on a scale of 1-5, and will rate the following:
Comic Accuracy: As the origin of the character, how faithfully Hank is transcribed from page to screen is important to me, but I recognise that changes need to be made for the medium, especially given most of these animated shows trend towards a younger audience.
Importance to the Narrative: How essential is Hank to the show as a whole? Is he wallpaper, or does he possess storylines of his own?
Likability: How likeable is this Hank? Note that this is a separate criteria from Accuracy, because accurate Hank is not always likeable Hank, and while I like that about him, it's hard to make an unlikeable character work 100% of the time.
Voice Actor: How suitable are they for Hank's character? Do they sound accurate, do they give a good performance, are they trying, how well can they handle technobabble?
Final ratings will be out of 5 - the other ratings will be added together, then divided down for an overall rating.
X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-1997)
Tumblr media
Without a doubt, the most iconic version of Beast. If someone knows who Beast is, this is probably who they think of, if not first, then it inevitably comes up, before his comics incarnation, or before any of his movie incarnations - he's a legend.
And it's not hard to see why, honestly. He's infinitely quotable, gentle hearted, compassionate, heroic, intelligent, funny, no-one has a nasty thing to say about him - he is, I would actually say, the most pure hearted and lovely of the entire cast, honestly. He doesn't have a negative quality to him. He's not a stick up the ass like Scott, he's not corny like Logan, he doesn't have Rogue's annoying scream, etc.
Which is a little bit of a problem, and it's the main thing I ding this Beast for - he's actually a little bit too perfect. The man cures the blind on his days off, he's that much of a saint. He gets angry, sure, but only in the most dire and unjustifiable circumstances, such as when someone's trying to deny him the ability to be with someone he loves, or destroy the planet.
He lacks negativity, he lacks a caustic sense of humour, he lacks immaturity, he lacks his shielded emotional core that causes him to be mopey - he's unnaturally well adjusted. And I like Hank to be a little maladjusted! I like him when he's bipolar, when he's a bit bitchy, when he's given to being a bit of a cunt. I like him having negative qualities, because that makes him well rounded and complex. This is, in many ways, the man Hank would like to be, but isn't, because he's only, sadly, awfully, tragically, unavoidably, human.
Accuracy: As mentioned, the primary flaw is that he's too perfect, but he's still a very accurate distillation of what especially 90s Hank was often like at his very best, just without any negative baggage. Props for including things like his friendship with Ship, an acknowledgement of his background and mutation of himself in the crossover with the Spider-Man animated series, a seamless integration of him into the Phoenix Saga, and his friendship with Iceman, which is often downplayed these days. 3.5/5.
Importance: Actually fairly important! He's given a lot of prominence in the opening episodes, he's given the role of 'acceptable' face of the mutant movement, he always has a line, and he has several episodes focusing on him, including the seminal Beauty and the Beast, and the very fun Phalanx Covenant two parter. 4/5.
Likability: This is the Hank most people would most like to marry, and he's the best friend we kinda wish we all had. 5/5.
Voice Actor: Buza was inspired casting, and he's actually very good at emoting and making for an emotional performance when the script calls for it, which it sadly doesn't too often. His fury and angst in Beauty and the Beast is extremely well communicated, and his diction is perfect. The gold standard. 5/5.
Final Rating: 4.375/5.
X-Men: Evolution (2000-2003)
Tumblr media
Honestly, a very good adaptation that suits the adjusted tone and scale of this version of the X-Men, but it, along with X-Men 3 and several characterisation choices in the comics, are probably largely responsible for spreading the misconception that Hank is so much older than the rest of the X-Men. He's also relegated to side character for most of the series' run, with his most interesting episode being the episode in which he mutates into his furry blue form, and not much after it coming close to its emotional punch.
That being said, it does get some severe points for actually doing something with human Hank, who often gets entirely skipped by adaptation in favour of just getting the familiar version of the character in there as soon as possible, and while Evolution's scale prohibits him from being one of the smartest people on Earth, he's still extremely brainy and droll, with a good sense of humour and a centring presence that suits him being the 'rock' of the X-Men that Bobby Drake has sometimes referred to him being.
Had the series not been cancelled, I would have liked to see where it went with the character, though it likely would have been a singular focus episode and not much else, if that. Kudos for including the entire O5 as an homage to their history together, even if they had to jimmy it a little to make it make sense, given Warren's independent status from the X-Men and Bobby's ageing down relative to everyone else.
Tumblr media
Accuracy: As before, a mixed bag. The O5 nod and the inclusion of his self-inflicted mutation storyline earn massive kudos, as does the love of Shakespeare and emphasis on his teaching abilities, but he's just so much older than everyone else and siloed off from them as a result. 3.5/5.
Importance: Sadly low - primarily a side character who acts as a mentor, but Professor Xavier and Logan get much more focus in that capacity for the majority of the show's run. He does better than Ororo, who mostly gets shafted for the duration of the show, but it's still not great. 2.5/5.
Likability: Scores highly, especially since he's introduced first as the 'cool' teacher at Bayville before he joins the X-Men, covering for Scott when he loses his ruby quartz glasses, and also does his best to reach out to Evan, aka Spyke, a character who needed that character focus more than most. Charming and erudite, but lacks the exposure and a core dynamic with one of the other main cast members the truly demonstrates how good of a friend he is. 4.5/5.
Voice Actor: Honestly, he's kind of amazing, especially in the Beast of Bayville episode - he doesn't get the plaudits Buza does, but Michael Kopsa absolutely nails it and brings the needed emotional intensity that those scenes call for. I have to score him the same as Buza, frankly - he's maybe less iconic, but I cannot, in all honesty, say that he performed the role any worse than George did. 5/5.
Final Rating: 3.875/5.
Wolverine and the X-Men (2009)
Tumblr media
Man, I was disappointed by this show when I went back to watch it. The billing would make you assume it's 50/50, but frankly, it's more like 75/25 in some of these episodes (god, that Silver Samurai bullshit was just so boring, I was just waiting for it to be over), and that means I'm going to be fairly critical - not really of this portrayal, because it IS good, but more just of the show in general.
There's just not enough for a lot of the other X-Men to do - Kurt and Warren actually get some excellent prominence in their Genosha and Archangel storylines, but it highlights just how boring what the other X-Men who are part of Wolverine's team get to do is, which is mostly act as filler in fight scenes, provide exposition, and. Exist, I guess. It's a shame, because this is a very fun and cute design for Hank, but it's just kinda wasted on this show.
Accuracy: We don't really get enough of him to see how he's characterised, but he's definitely Beast; he reads books, he's got glasses, he's friends with Warren and Bobby (but again, that implied age gap with Bobby), it's . . . Beast. Store brand Beast, right here, this is the Beast you get when you don't want any Beast in particular. 3/5.
Importance: I was tempted to rate this a flat zero because you could honestly remove him from the series and put someone else in there, and you wouldn't notice, but he's given some dialogue with Logan here and there, so I guess I'll be nice. 0.5/5. That's me being nice.
Likability: Very likeable and charming, if a touch stodgy, but not given enough to demonstrate his empathy and kindness and friendliness towards others, especially since he spends most of the show at the base doing . . . um. Stuff. 3.5/5
Voice Actor: Fred Tatasciore is a seasoned voice actor who usually handles characters with deeper, gruffer voices, and he does a fine job - I've never hated his take on Hank in any of the times he's voiced him, and he's actually really quite especially good in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, where he really gets to flex how charming his take on Beast can be when he's given airtime, so I have to rate him highly, even if he's not my favourite. 4/5.
Final Rating: 2.75/5.
Marvel Anime: X-Men (2010)
Tumblr media
Not even gonna front, I can't be objective about this ranking because this is the only time an animated property has tried to adapt feline Beast, and they kinda knocked it out of the park first try - maybe it's just because anime artists and animators have a ton of experience handling anthro beast men, but they just got Hank perfect here, and the fact that they didn't go with the standard design shows a commitment to doing something a little bit different.
This is far from my favourite adaptation of the X-Men, but for Hank? Oh, it's a swing and I love them for it. Also, big props for adapting a non-standard X-Men enemy with the U-Men, which indicates they were lifting from the Morrison New X-Men run - another big swing, and it makes sense they went with feline Hank as a result, given his prominence in that storyline.
Accuracy: Ouaghhh . . . I have to be honest, I have to rate this one incredibly highly just because of the feline aspect. That's dedication to the craft and to the character, and he's done well, too, which is no mean feat. I also absolutely adore his scene with the augmented octopus in episode 1, where he lets it continue to teach his lesson once he's called away to deal with X-Men things - a little bit more madcap than I generally like my Hank to be, but for an animated property, it tells you so much about Hank with just one scene. He's kookier, and I like that. 4.75/5.
Importance: Still very much a supporting character, but you can't really remove him from the narrative because he does too much scientific heavy lifting, and I can't really knock ALL of these shows just because he doesn't have real Main Character Energy like Scott, Jean, Logan, or Emma. I've made my peace with the fact that I've fallen in love with someone who's never gonna be a solo draw, so this is me making my peace with that. 3.5/5.
Likability: Eminently likeable and fun, with kooky charm and genuine competence and chances to show off his genius in the field as well as off of it. Allowed to be animalistic, but a genius - a character with duality. Not as instantly magnetic as some, but I think that someone could very well come away from this anime thinking, man, I wanna know more about Beast, what stories is he prominent in? 4/5.
Voice Actor: Fred Tatasciore again, but I have to note that I think Tatasciore's performance more suits simian/classic Beast, and I think someone a touch deeper, or maybe just given a vocal modulation/distortion to add an unnatural note to his voice, would have really elevated the performance and added to the take on feline Beast. That being said, still a consummate professional and excellent performer, Fred's great. 3.5/5.
Final Rating: 3.9375/5.
X-Men '97 (2024)
Tumblr media
Rated separately because this is a separate production with different writers, voice directors, and overall storyline than the original 90s show, though it is of course a continuation of it and thus can assume continuity with it. This incarnation is different enough that I still want to talk about it, and rate it differently.
Accuracy: More multi-faceted, allowed to be disillusioned with Xavier's dream, given emotional depth in his dynamic with Trish Tilby (indeed, though I don't like her as a person, I appreciate her role in the narrative and like that she was brought in from the comics). Honestly, in all the ways that matter, this Hank has all the genius, kindness, and lovable traits of his 90s counterpart, but is the beneficial recipient of a more mature take on the subject matter. 4/5.
Importance: Sadly lower than his 90s counterpart - he mostly fulfils the role of scientific and medical exposition and participates in fight scenes, lacking the main character status of Scott, Jean, Rogue, Magneto and co. Beau DeMayo categorically did play favourites here, though that's far from the worst thing alleged about the man. That being said, I loved Hank getting to pilot a Sentinel as a mecha, TWICE, as well as being given the MLK/Genosha scene, which is a scene that ONLY Hank could have done justice. 3/5.
Likability: Frankly off the scale - the amount of work that Buza did to elevate Hank's standing in 2024, coming off an awful decade in the comics that had categorically tanked the character's reputation, can't be underestimated. A shot in the arm, and a reminder that Hank is so much more than just one writer's vision. 5/5.
Voice Actor: Frankly, it has to be the same as before, just because George Buza has not missed a single trick - whereas Lenore Zahn and Cal Dodd have both notably aged vocally, Buza has not, and despite the intervening 30 years, he still delivers every line with evident joie de vivre, pathos, emotion, and charm. His introduction scene in episode 1, a wonderful callback to Jubilee's introduction to him in the 90s show, epitomises why Beast as a character is so wonderful. 5/5.
Final Rating: 4.25/5.
Note that I am not rating Beast's appearances in other shows such as Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers, or The Marvel Super Heroes, because I haven't seen those, and I can't imagine his role is important enough that there's much to say about them.
Which brings us to our final overall ratings!
Overall:
X-Men: TAS
X-Men: '97
Marvel Anime: X-Men
X-Men Evolution
Wolverine and the X-Men
Not a huge surprise - the 90s show is still, in many ways, the definitive version of Hank, and barring some kind of pop culture fluke, it's hard to see another adaptation making such an impact in people's minds as this version did.
Accuracy:
Marvel Anime: X-Men
X-Men '97
X-Men: The Animated Series/X-Men: Evolution (Tie)
Wolverine and the X-Men
This entirely objective ranking hinges mostly on my appreciation for the anime's willingness to go off the beaten path and adapt an extremely comic accurate feline Hank, rather than stick to what was safe and known to work. Feline Hank is my favourite incarnation of the character, and I make no secret of that, so brownie points are in full effect.
Importance:
X-Men: The Animated Series
Marvel Anime: X-Men
X-Men '97
X-Men: Evolution
Wolverine and the X-Men
If this were a Nightcrawler or Archangel blog, you would see nicer things said about Wolverine and the X-Men, but. It's a Beast blog, and I was underwhelmed at just how little focus the character got (i.e. none) in the 2009 show.
Likability:
X-Men: The Animated Series/X-Men '97
X-Men: Evolution
Marvel Anime: X-Men
Wolverine and the X-Men
The main thing bringing down Evolution is its lack of screen time for Beast, frankly - I think Kopsa's take on Hank is eminently likeable and fun, not to mention complex, but he just doesn't get the time or the focus on account of being relegated to the adult cast.
Voice Actor:
X-Men: The Animated Series/X-Men '97/X-Men: Evolution (Three way tie)
Wolverine and the X-Men
Marvel Anime: X-Men
Frankly, I feel as though this does Fred Tatasciore a disservice. I love his take on Beast, I just think he hasn't been given a project where he can leave an indelible mark on the character like Buza and Kopsa. I love them all very, very much.
Hope that answers your question, friend!

loving your blog, especially your tmnt stuff. if your up for an ask, do you have any hc's about Splinter?
Hadn’t really ever thought about putting together a list before, but here we go!
a master meditator (as if we didn’t know)
has achieved the ability to venture into the spirit world via meditation
it’s pretty there, lotsa colors
(kinda boring without the boys, tho)
loves his bonsai trees almost as much as he loves his sons
hums to himself while tending them
has shaped a dozen of these trees into very specific growths that he refuses to elaborate upon
likes to cook but is very hit-or-miss with it
sometimes the food is amazing
sometimes the boys gag and force it down with struggling grins cause it’s dad you can’t offend DAD
actually has no trouble remembering anything despite his age
still knows where Mikey’s shoes are at all times
tends to let the boys settle their own disputes cause at this point they need that independence and problem-solving ability
but will still intervene if he sees things getting REAL
carefully selects punishments whenever required with the goal of helping each turtle’s individual weaknesses
always punishes the boys as a group to help drive home the fact that they’re all they’ve got
sounds harsh but he feels it’s vital that they know the reality of their situation
100% refuses to let any of them in his private space
likewise, does not intrude upon the boys’ private spaces
(they can intrude upon each other’s all they want, though)
his room is pitch black 99% of the time cause as a rat he can see in the dark just fine
also whiskers are great for navigation ;) ;)
sometimes gets devastatingly depressed when he thinks of the future his sons will face and ends up spending days in his room, alone and recovering
but will always come back out and show them that family means sacrifice and devotion in equal measure by always being there
leads by example; he’s not a “do as I say, not as I do” type
if he needs Donnie to forgive Leo for something, he’ll start by forgiving them both for whatever they did
stresses that family isn’t the only thing that matters, but it is the thing that matters most
low-key terrified every time the boys go out to battle major threats (the Foot Clan, the Kraang, etc) despite his confidence in them
never shows how god damn teary-eyed he gets when they return victorious, if not always in one piece
a fan of black-and-white films
enjoys cheesy dad/granddad activities like tea parties with toddlers, getting his claws painted, wearing princess tiaras, etc
he thinks it’s precious ♥
has the BIGGEST soft spot for babies and toddlers you’ve ever seen
always looking and listening for signs that he’s needed for anything, from heart-to-heart chats to confessions to rants to just sharing a hug
actually really misses when the turtles were toddlers and would sleep snuggled in his fur
has nicknames for each of the boys that they don’t know about
only ever calls them by these nicknames in private chats with...someone from his past ;)
sometimes paints landscapes and such
does not let the boys see his paintings
is actually super incredibly proud that the boys have such differing personalities and 100% encourages and nurtures this
although the turtles consider April like a sister, Splinter considers her more like a daughter
probably cause of his relative age and yes he realizes this
always just a little bit concerned about how long he’ll live and what will happen to his sons when he’s gone
can’t help but feel scared, worrying over who’ll watch out for them
this is 90% of the reason why he trains them so hard: he needs to be sure they’ll be able to make it on their own
yet he feels equally proud and despondent as he watches them consistently succeeding in the tasks he presents for them
every step towards their independence and self-sufficiency is another step away from him
and even though he’s proud of them
he’s also
sad

Loving the Buisness AU! Quick question though, Is Donnie the only one of his brothers with a love life/ and or significant other in this AU...or just the only one that matters?
That is yet to be decided! To be frank, I'd see them with significant others, I just don't really explore that for now.
My small fic is just to play around that AU a little bit. It helps me flesh out some aspects of it and it's a way for me to relax after work :) !!
I'm mostly writing about Donnie because I like to write about him heheheheeh 💜

I'm just getting into ROTTMNT and found Tomiko and LOVE her, as in went into your archive and binged everything I could find about her love her (Plus her mom, her mom is goals)but one thing I noticed in my binge is you don't do much with Tomiko with the other Turtles. just Leo. Which while those interactions give me life, I have a hard time imagining any of those boys have a S/O without said S/O being friendly with the rest. boys are a package deal. I need to see her with the bros, plus April.
ok full disclosure I’m a full adult with like, a job and responsibilities, so fandom stuff is good for my heart and destressing so i can’t draw every idea BUT I CAN WRITE STUFF
Raph? Tomiko was intimidated at first but soon understood oh yeah this dude is cool. big softie. she’ll gladly nap on him in cat form. meanwhile raph is happy there’s an animal friend who doesn’t want to tear his face off? tight.
Mikey and Tomiko have a similar love of the arts. artwork and fashion etc etc
Donnie and Tomi they CAN tolerate each other, and sit in silence, she’s not allowed in his lab tho. many small parts plus a kleptomaniac cat. not great.
April and her are friendly and she’s definitely been invited to a Girls Night. Girls Night Hidden City edition

Sorry ahead of time if this is a bother, looking for some vet advice. recently dealt with kennel cough, with the meds we got the dogs recovered but my mom decided to get a supplement that is supposed to help dogs & cats, but I want to research it more. its called Alfa Pet and is said to contain Marshmellow Root mellein leaf angelica root licorice ginger calanduala elderberry & orange peel, plus glycerin ad water. online search has mixed results. Help?
So sorry I left this t languish so long!
I tried googling this and all I could find was a company in new zealand? Dont know if its the same thing.
I have never heard of half those ingredients but then again, that may be a good thing as I usually know about something because its toxic. To be honest, this product sounds like crap to me. I understand the need for supplementation, but most plants in their raw form do not contain enough of the wanted compound to actually have an effect. This is where pharmacy comes in-we now have the means to purify these compounds from their naturally occurring sources, and sometimes even make them from scratch, into an effective dose.
As long as your dogs do not have any adverse effects from this product, I dont think theres anything wrong with giving it, as long as you keep in mind that it is not a suitable replacement for proper disease treatment.

I'm curios which here is troubling but I'll take a chance and ask anyway. How would I do? I'm a biology major with focus on zoology, but I like a garden too I dable in many hobbies like knitting spinning yarn, woodcarving basketweaving jewelrymakin christain witchcraft but I'm only a beginner in all. I like history folklore and reading have made a habit of saying please thankyou and sorry to just about anything cause it's only polite. and lastly I was born on winter solstice at 7pm 3 weeks late
You take a date to the haunted house set up in the student center! It’s all very cute and snuggly up until the first scare, at which point she drops her glamour and leaps to defend you, chitinous arms bared and ungodly snarl tearing the air like radio static. In the aftermath, you will gloomily reflect that you could have explained more thoroughly.
