so hey, honey. it's kind of hard to explain because things just happened and i heard the bell rang in my mind. xD yk when i read it i went from "oh hey i need to be serious to appreciate this" and put down my cup of milk. there's a process of thinking whenever i reach sth ethereal which connects to my soul. words flow in, images show up, and lovers get together. ^^) i feel the love you try to deliver, that's it. they're so real i can touch it and take a bite honestly.
i also saw your tags. and yes, i totally understand. maybe writing for whatever ship which has fame will draw attention and they will flood in and leave comments, same goes to the fem reader community. but its not what you really yearn, is it? i also think a lot. instrusive but yep, "i did so awesome with this piece, it'll get appreciated more if it was about their ships". i still stood true to myself since 2017, sometimes i couldn't believe it. still writing and getting not so much attention. i don't know will i quit it soon. i just want to do what i what with the person i love. its okay if you feel lonely. wanna say that you literally saved me the moment i found your place. because every male reader (especially bottom reader) is a warrior. it's so rare to see any of you. and i got so happy, your works are so good, i knew that your blog was safe for me to process. i wouldn't get attacked suddenly by some fem terms or to reader haha...
im here with you and thanks for being here with me, with us. even though it's nothing much, but keep moving in your own pace. you shine in the eyes of admirers. pat hug kiss. 🐰
Just... wow.
I have been avoiding responding to this because, honestly, I didn't know how to and still don't. But I can't avoid it forever, can I?
I just wrote what I felt, which might be why the love resonated so strongly with you. I guess since I don't get it often human touch is quite fascinating to me. The only one I think I ever actively wanted cuddles from was my cat, so that's my base line, warm and fuzzy.
It's not really about fame, more about recognition. Like I do get notes here and kudos on ao3, but I don't really get other forms of interaction like comments, asks and requests. This might sound harsh, but until I got this ask I felt useless, like all my writing is going to waist because it's for a very niche audience. I knew that people didn't hate me because I was getting notes, but never anything deeper, so it made me think that people only read it to get a quick kick out of it. I thought that maybe my work would impact much more people if it was made for a ship and that maybe it would inspire someone, then I wouldn't feel like I'm screaming into a void. Before I started getting asks sent in my inbox writing for this community felt really lonely. Not to mention that I would feel much more comfortable showing people my work if it was for a ship, currently I'm really only keeping it on this blog and that will probably never change.
So you could imagine how happy reading your comments made me. It flipped my whole perspective upside down. Just knowing that it meant something deeper to someone is enough to make it all seem a little more worth it, you know? And even if I don't know you, please don't stop writing. I'm sure that something you wrote made someone out there feel like I made you feel when you first discovered me. I can't describe how happy it makes me that you found your safe space in something I made.
Stay safe and take care of yourself.

For the Swanatello fam: what does everyone miss most about Donnie during his lake-induced absences?
for donnie, leo will gladly give every scrap of patience and grace and gentleness he has. he doesn't mind explaining things. he doesn't mind telling his brother the same things over and over. he doesn't mind it when donnie forgets or doesn't understand or needs his help to remember or process things.
but he misses the banter. the back-and-forth. the stupid fights and pranks and 'you said's' and 'i told you so's.' and, perhaps a bit selfishly, he misses when he didn't always feel like he had to be the bigger person for him. he misses when he still had the space to be childish and immature and petty towards his twin, and it wouldn't hurt either of them the way it tends to now.

10! Video games!
I assume at this point we’ve all seen the Raph as Princess Peach thing going around- So I thought why not go all the way? Where are my Rosalinas? The Polinas?
They would totally get into character only so that they can talk shit about Mario.
(More versions under cut!)
You physically cannot convince me Leo wouldn’t be Rosalina.
I can see Donnie having respect for Polina, and Mikey vibing with Daisy- But I just LOVE the idea that Mikey would love Polina- She’s just girlbossing, she went from the damsel in distress to being New York’s fucking MAYOR. It just fits so well with my headcanons of Mikey-
On top of that, me and my girlfriend were talking, and I realized how much Raph actually needs this. He’s always the one saving people, always worrying for their safety- Just- Just this once. He gets to indulge in the idea of being saved.
And Mikey liking Polina has a simular vibe to it- Cause Mikey wants to not be babied right? So what’s character would command more respect then a MAYOR. Who holds a concert and is just rocking the professional vibe. I also headcanon Mikey as aro ace and genderfluid, so Polina switching from suits to dresses, as well as being a past love interest for Mario makes me think she went “Nah, not for me” WHICH AGAIN, FITS WITH MY MIKEY HEADCANONS-

i think ch. 76 of dunmeshi is so good bc whether you view it in a labru way or not, we've got these excellent pages of kabru repeatedly reaching out towards laios
there are so many panels of kabru getting increasingly desperate to keep laios there, not because he's evil and wants to kill laios or whatever, but because so much of dunmeshi was kabru failing to keep his attention, despite doing everything that should have worked (little did he know he just had to tag along with shuro). we see kabru fumble through words that won't convince him and kabru struggles with what he should and shouldnt reveal about himself, and finally gives up that act and blurts out his full, true honest feelings, and stuns himself
he SMACKS his hand back over his mouth like, "AHEM, excuse me, no of course i didnt feel something as silly and illogical as that-" but then laios starts to outright laugh about his very serious actions about him, and he gets snaps again
laios' dismissal once again causes kabru to open up, and stay honest this time
kabru really spends a lot of his time getting his ass beat, or in bad situations in general due to his self sacrificial goal in trying to save the people on the island, but i think its good he finally outright says what he wants, too, even if laios is essential for his plan, but he does want to be friends with him, too.
i think this final scene where he takes a turn despairing also shows that his request to laios was truly what he wanted. he finally had a genuine moment of asking something of another person, instead of doing his duty to save this island and prevent a disaster, and he thinks he fucked up, but he really did have a selfish moment (and honestly his success in getting thru to laios helped undo the damaga mithrun did to marcille, which lead to laios forming his plan later).
