#i am sad to see jet go but to be very fair I've had him for two seasons and i am happy to know that he's doing good

[turtle--soup]

Next Mutation ramblings under the cut:

Monkey Man is back

Episode 11 stream of consciousness liveblogging first...

--

"Poof. No mowah dowah baws." Honestly I would kill to play one of these henchmen, they must have had the best time.

Oh, I see where this is going...

Mikey found a peanut. Cute that he's excited enough to sing a song about that

Is that Fruit Loops with Red Bull? Bro.

If I ever win the lottery I am also going to yell MEGA SHELLAAAAAGE. I do not play the lottery.

"It's really gross in heeyuh"

"I can buy a jet plane! I can buy TEN jet planes!" Bro gonna set up his own airline

"You're scaring our roaches" Finally a Raph who likes bugs!

Of course Raph would buy more motorbikes. But would they be as sexy and cool as the one he already has? I think every Raph should have a motorbike. I never ship Raph with anyone but I kinda ship NM Raph with his bike

FunKEE MunKEE

"Stop monkeyin' around" - of course, of course. The puns 👌

Yeah, stop calling him greenie. You can do better than that surely?

They have satin boxers? Yeesh. 🤢

"Muhayy name's not greenaaayyyy" Calm down Leo

I love the sad music in the background being overlaid with the cartoon 'boink!' 'splat!' sound effects

"I got beat by four guys with no pants!" Dude now you know why Shredder was so pissed off all the time

This Splinter is so crabby

I can't believe nobody is arguing that they should get the ticket back because

a) Silver might spend it on doing nefarious bad guy stuff, and/or

b) it belongs to an innocent person??

Bionic smoothophonic?????? Were the scriptwriters paid by how many words they could make up?

Groovalicious! Excellente!

GROOVY WOOVY BABY???!?! wtf Raph bro are you OK?

Ah, the bike. And the jeep. But mostly the cool bike. It's so cool. Look at it. It's so cool. LOOK. HE HAS A BIKE!

Yeah no seriously I get it but I am so confused that they're all 'yeah money though 🤑' like... completely. It seems so wrong for there to be such little push back. Venus kind of tried but... yeah, I expect there to be more moral undertone in my turtles - especially if it's going to be this cartoony.

His staff is a net launcher? Nice.

Love that the walls in Silver's hallway are climbing walls lol. Fair play to whoever thought of that

"I've never fought so many well dressed men" Venus buddy please use your eyes

She's so polite though

The scene transitions in this show really are something aren't they? Wow

"I know exactly what you're gonna say but we think you're wrong" Bro I don't think anyone's ever won an argument with their dad by starting off like that

Oh at least Splinter's actually suggested they should give the money to the guy it belongs to and chewed them out for being greedy finally

Lol they busted his legs

"I AM scary 😠😠😠"

That was the worst smoke bomb effect ever wow

...

I didn't make notes on episodes 9 & 10 of Next Mutation but the general overview is:

There's so much about Bonesteel that I love but I'm concerned that he's going to be completely pointless.

His design is top tier, I was convinced that either Kevin Eastman designed him or whoever did design him was very much taking notes from Kevin Eastman and lo and behold...

ALSO! I was wondering where I knew Bonesteel's actor from and he's frickin' Scott McNeil! How many other Transformers Beast Wars voice actors did they poach? Lol.

Anyway yeah love him.

Also Quease is really interesting. I want to believe that his relationship with Donnie will be developed on but I'm not going to hold my breath. Hopefully they do something interesting with them though.

[one-joe-spoopy]

I have listened to the new episode, and I will say just this: WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK

[irie-kun306]

Deux Mondes

Chapter I

"how did I get here, how did it all end up like this?"

"ah! yes! I remember, that woman who thinks she knows everything! She got me into this and now I don't even know where the hell I am!!!!"

"Although... now that I remember it well.... it's my fault too... I was so damn distracted by... agh, fuck it! Forget it, better forget it. I didn't even stop to ask him what that device he had invented was all about... I just remember he said something about traveling to different places in different time... or something like that?"

"well that doesn't matter anymore...what's done is done...but.... where am I..."

TIME BEFORE THE FAILURE OF THE EXPERIMENT...

The sun peeks through a window the thin rays of its white light, the person in the room stirs in his sheets, the sun has hit his face directly, it is 5:30 AM, he gets up heavily, goes to the bathroom and takes a cold shower, he let the jets of cold water hit his body, the water slid down his soft and somewhat tanned skin, changing the temperature of it.

She comes out of the bathroom, she looks at herself in the mirror, her hair was still dripping, she only used a towel around her waist, she takes another towel from the closet and gently dries her hair, she decides to wear her usual clothes, but with a difference, today she will not wear the armor, in front of the mirror she puts on the remaining clothes, she has finished, still in front of the mirror she looks at her face, He swallows thickly and exhales heavily, it is the day, he has decided, he has thought about it for a long time, now everything is clear, he will tell her, he will tell her what he has felt for so long since he saw her, he will finally tell her what he had denied for so long, "his feelings".

He slides the glass door and takes flight, he will go to that place, that place where so many times he used to meet him to train, that place where he saw them get carried away by the emotion of the sound of their fists colliding on the opponent's skin, that place where they seemed to be themselves, without ties, without regrets, without anyone else but the two of them, a universe in which they were the only inhabitants.

But this time it was different, this time it was he who summoned him to that place. And there he was, waiting for him, something very rare indeed, he is not usually very punctual, but there he was, he turned when he felt his presence and gave him a smile, this accelerated a little more his already agitated heart.

He slowly steps forward until his boots touch the grass, he slowly approaches and the other does the same.

-Hello vegeta!!!" he says naturally as every time he sees him.

-Kakaroto- he says, trying to disguise his nervousness a little, he can hear how his heart beats, <<how noisy>> he thinks, but he doesn't take off his typical mask of "I don't care about anything", that mask that has helped him since time immemorial since he can remember.

-It's strange that you asked me to come to train, it's more common that I'm the one who asks you to come," he says a little surprised. But he plays it down, "Well, let's get started then," he says, getting into a fighting pose.

-I didn't call you for that," he says coldly.

Goku leaves his battle pose and with a big question mark looks at him puzzled.

-So?" he asks.

-There's something I have to tell you..." Now you could notice a bit of his nervousness, he took a long breath and looked away.

-y... What do you have to tell me?" curiosity had invaded him.

-Kakaroto... I... I've realized that you are a formidable warrior, it's hard for me to admit it, but that's how it is..." he was still looking to the side.

-Goku didn't say anything, he was stupefied, Vegeta saying that he was a formidable warrior? That was something strange, it was even scaring him a little, maybe this morning he had woken up in an alternate world or maybe he was still asleep.

-You are very childish and innocent sometimes, that was something that bothered me, I couldn't believe that there was a benevolent sayajin who fights just for fun. For a while I hated you with all my strength, I focused that all I felt for you was hatred because you always surpassed me in powers, my pride is something I have put before all things, and I stayed on earth with the excuse of wanting to surpass you, but I have realized that was a lie... I was lying to myself, now I know it. I realized it in that battle with Majin Boo- he was still looking at the horizon, but now he turns and looks at him with great decision in the eyes.

-Now I know what I feel for you," he says looking at Goku, who was still without saying a word but was looking at Vegeta with great attention, even though he couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

-And you better listen well because I won't repeat it, insect," he closes his eyes, takes a long breath and slowly lets it out and opens his eyes, "and- ... I love you Kakaroto... I love you," he blurts out with great decision and without hesitation.

Goku's face was like "What?" the poor guy didn't believe it, then he thought, << Vegeta sure is joking... if that must be... it's the most logical thing>> is then that he laughs as only he knows how to do it, now Vegeta was the one who had a face of complete surprise.

Goku straightened up and looked at his eternal rival, he looked him in the eyes, those deep black eyes that made him feel so strange, now that he thought about it, he never hated the prince, in fact, he always liked him, even when he was his enemy, his intention was never to kill him or anything like that, he was always the only one who he could always face almost as equals, the only one who seemed to understand him, the only one who never judged him or forced him to do something he didn't want <<like working for example>> but. ... Could it be that what she feels for him... that nervousness, that inexplicable happiness she felt when she saw him coming... but then came to his mind the memory of Gohan, Goten and Milk, his family, he couldn't just leave her, now that he had some time with Milk he could understand the meaning of some things, and the fact that Vegeta loved him meant that if he loved him back he would have to leave his current family. No! he couldn't leave his family for something he didn't even know if he really felt, and thinking about that he decided.

-Vegeta... I don't love you... I don't see you that way... you are... my friend and I can't see you as something else... but, I want us to keep training as usual... so... how about if we pretend this never happened? Yes?...- he said even a little hesitantly.

The answer for Vegeta was like a bucket of the coldest water that could exist, he felt how ice daggers pierced his chest, Goku's words gave no respite to his broken heart, it was broken, the sound it made when it broke sure could be heard even on the other side of the continent, and then the very synical one comes out with

"but I want to keep training with you so... how about we pretend this never happened?"

Vegeta stood there in silence looking like he was gathering anger, hidden even in a surprised face.

-Well Vegeta... if we don't train today then let's train tomorrow..... well then bye- he said seeing that Vegeta didn't react, he put his fingers on his forehead and saying bye he gave him a last smile and teleported home.

He was left alone there... with his heart shattered, he had opened up to him, he showed him his feelings and put them in his hands, and what did he do? He squeezed those feelings as if they were nothing and threw them on the ground and then trampled on them as if they were nothing but garbage, the stabbing pain in his chest, a lump in his throat and endless tears that he did not let go because his pride came out at that moment, his pride that is what always kept him out of this danger that not even all the powers of the world could defeat. Now he would cling to it.

-Then you want me to forget it.... don't you?"-his voice threatened to crack, but he clenched his fists tightly, and looked straight ahead,-then so be it..... - he blurted out angrily.

Vegeta flew back to capsule corp. He got into his room, took off all his clothes and got into the bathtub, he wanted the hot water to take away all those memories, he wanted the relaxing smell of salts and oils to penetrate his thoughts and cloud everything until nothing was left, he looked at the white floor of the bathroom, as if he was looking for the meaning of life, his look was sad.

She sank into the large bathtub, a few minutes passed, holding her breath was something of the simplest.

When he got out he went to the closet and put on some black spandex, a white tank top, this one was a little loose and the fall of it marked the hips of its user in an extremely sensual way, he also put on some Nike air Jordan type flight sneakers, but he didn't

He was not entirely comfortable, "stupid shoes" he said "why does Bulma have to buy me this kind of shoes? I like my usual boots better."

So he exchanged them for his white boots and then put on some leather fingerless biker gloves.

He went downstairs to train in the gravity chamber, surely training with all his strength would make him forget, he always did.

Bulma was in the laboratory, she was making a new invention, this time she would try to win that international fair of scientists, she would surpass all those illusions that did not believe that she deserved that blessed prize.

Her invention now consisted of a machine that would make people travel through time, but it was not like the other machine she invented, this one would not only make them travel to another time but also transport them to other universes at the same time.

But she felt that her calculations might be wrong, something did not fit, maybe some algorithm was wrongly written, but she had to test it, she had to test the machine to clear these doubts and find the problem that did not let her move forward, but with whom? With whom?

It is then that the answer to her prayers passes by her door, Vegeta who was passing by to go to the gravity chamber to start training, was interrupted by the voice of her friend.

"In this case Bulma knew that Vegeta was not with her for love, but for the fact of taking responsibility for his actions << Trunks>> but the earth woman had endeared herself to the sayajin prince, not in the way she wanted but she had managed to make a space in his heart, she had managed to become his friend, so she had been content to at least be that in the prince's life."

-Vegeta!" the woman calls him.

-What do you want, woman? Can't you see I'm busy," he said a little tired, he was not in the mood to talk to someone.

-Come on, Vegeta, don't be like that... I just need you for a moment... I won't keep you long.

It is then that Vegeta looks at her and looks around, he sees that there is a new machine, it is then that he understood, "so you want to try that, don't you?" it was then that without listening to the woman he crossed his arms and went straight to the machine and at once he entered it.

-Hurry up woman, I don't have all day," said Vegeta in the machine.

It is then that Bulma runs to the computer, inserts coordinates, prepares the machine and looks at Vegeta.

-Well Vegeta, the purpose of the machine is to take you...".

-Yeah! -Woman... Just get on with it and get it over with," says Vegeta, interrupting her, already a little tired.

-What a genius..." says Bulma, but why get into an argument, when he gets like that there's no one who can beat him.

Bulma closed the door of the machine, went to the front of the PC and started to look at the logarithms, graphs and everything and then put on some protective glasses.

Everything seemed to be going well, the portal would be next to the machine as Bulma had planned... but.... something went wrong, the PC began to fail and the data and coordinates to distort, the machine began to crumble and everything began to spark, Bulma wanted to stop everything but could not, Vegeta inside the machine only saw how everything began to get chips, Vegeta tried to get out but when he wanted to touch the door the machine exploded, during the explosion Vegeta closed his eyes due to the light, Bulma during the big flash only managed to see how Vegeta fell into the portal next to him and it closed with him.

-Vegeta!!!" shouted the woman, she ran to the PC and almost fell off the desk, she put it back in its position and tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't turn on, she was totally desperate, where did he send Vegeta, did he kill him, did he send him to an unknown dimension, did he leave him lost in space time, could he come back?

Bulma couldn't stop thinking about where Vegeta could be... the only thing she remembered, or rather the only thing she could see was Vegeta falling into the portal and disappearing with it.

Trunks arrived a few minutes later, he had heard the explosion from far away and a little closer to home he heard his mother's scream.

-Mom," said Trunks.

-Trunks...- Bulma approaches the little boy and hugs him, the youngest still doesn't know the cause of his mother's sudden behavior.

Then he looks at the whole mess, he doesn't know what happened, he starts to analyze, he remembers he heard his mother shouting his father's name, he thinks they fought.... but no... that would be something strange... his father would not destroy the laboratory, but where was he then?... he wanted to locate his ki but he could not find it, it is then that he separates from his mother and asks.

-Mom... Where is daddy? I can't feel his ki....

PRESENT TENSE

As he sits in a meadow surrounded by white wildflowers, he notices that he is on the earth, but something is different... it feels and looks like the earth but it is different... something is wrong.

"how did i get here?"

Hey... hi everyone, this is just a test, something just to see if you were interested in this story, this crossover fanfic.

Comment if you liked it and if you expect one more chapter.

[ofgeography]

Hi Molly ^^ so I've been in a relationship for almost two years now, but um... not anymore. My heart hurts and I was just wondering if you could tell us a story? For old time's sake?

you sent me this three months ago, and i’m sorry that i’m only just getting to it! i’m sorry your relationship ended. that’s hard and sad. i hope you’re doing better. 

i haven’t told y’all a story in a long time!! so i thought, as a special treat, because you’re sad, i will tell you about The Time My Forgettable Lawyer Saved Me By Having Blood On His Teeth.

so the thing you have to know about me, which i will admit straight up, is that i am not a good driver. 

obviously. 

i mean, y’all read this blog. you probably already knew that without me having to say it.

to be clear, i like driving. cars are the perfect place for me to live out my very elaborate fantasy life, in which i get invited to be on late night talk shows and can sing as loud as i want along with my radio without worrying that my neighbors are like, blogging about the girl in 1120 that never stops singing hayley kiyoko. 

also, i am too polite when i drive, which means i ALWAYS get stuck letting everyone go past at intersections and i hate passing cars because i feel rude.

one time i passed a cement truck and i made my brother roll his window down and wave as we went by so that the cement truck knew that i understood why he was going so slow, i just needed to get where i was going.

my brother does not let me drive anymore, which seems fair.

a n y w a y, on my twentieth birthday, my friends casper and teriyaki’s (who you may remember from the first time i threw a party) car broke down on their way to my house. this was when my folks were still living on the ranch, which means everything was at MINIMUM twenty minutes away, and casper and teriyaki lived about 40 minutes away. 

what i decided to do was go get them.

this would turn out to be the first of a series of mistakes.

so my pal grizz hopped into the front seat of my volkswagen bug convertible and we jetted off to pick the boys up. i was very conscious at this point that everyone was at home waiting for us, so it is possible that i was going slightly* too fast.

*it is possible i was going more than slightly too fast.

*it is possible i was going 95 in a 60.

listen, LET HE AMONG US WITHOUT SIN BE THE FIRST TO THROW STONES.

in virginia, going more than 20mph over the speed limit can actually mean jailtime, which i did not know until a policeman pulled me over and said, “did you know that i can take you directly to jail, right now?”

“i ….. did not know that,” i said, which was true. “please …. don’t.”

he looked into the car. we’d made casper and teriyaki sit in the back, which was very unkind because, i don’t know if you’ve ever been in the back of a volkswagen bug convertible, but it is barely big enough to fit ONE twenty-year-old human male in, much less two of them. 

as he walked back to the cop car to do whatever mysterious things cops do when they go sit in their car for like, FORTY-FIVE FUCKING MINUTES when they’re giving you a ticket–

i’ve always imagined they like, call their moms, and are just gabbing and catching up?

trading gossip with the dispatchers??

selling clothes online in a pyramid scheme like lularoe??

–teriyaki leaned up from the backseat like a tiny dog on a roadtrip to be like, “i totally saw him before we passed.”

“WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING?” i hissed.

“i thought you saw him!”

why would he assume that!!!!!!

i never see anything!!!!

i have the spacial awareness of a drunk toddler wearing ski goggles!!!!!!

“you should try crying when he comes back,” grizz said. 

this would have been a great idea, except that i’m so scared of getting in trouble that any time an authority figure yells at me i just shut down completely. remember that weird keira knightley movie domino where she plays a bounty hunter who has a cool head in a crisis? i’m exactly like domino except instead of reacting with complete calm when motorcycle gangs pull their guns on me, i turn into a dead fish when i’m getting yelled at.

“this bitch is nothing like the movie domino,” you are all saying to yourselves, to which i say: p l e a s e let me have this.

anyway, what happened was …….. he charged me with reckless endangerment.

RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT!!!!!!

listen i’ve been called a lot of things in my life but never ONE TIME has somebody called me “reckless.”

i am, at MOST, careless and irresponsible.

“careless and irresponsible” are the nickelodeon version of “reckless,” and like, it’s fine, i just want the Law to please acknowledge that.

unfortunately, “careless and irresponsible endangerment” is not a thing cops can charge you with, so.

RECKLESS IT IS, FOLKS.

when i got back to my house, now solidly an hour late, i decided to get in front of what was definitely going to be a whole Conversation by announcing to the kitchen, “okay. so. i have good news and bad news.”

“…..what?” my mother asked, sounding very skeptical.

by this point she had known me for twenty years and therefore knew that “i have good news and bad news” meant that i had Bad News With Soft Padding Ducktaped Around It.

because my mom is who my mom is, and my hometown was what my hometown was, she hired the like, only lawyer. his name was sam. sam was like ….. fine. you know? i can’t tell you what he looked like. i kind of forgot what he looked like the SECOND he wasn’t in my sightline.

sorry sam.

but to be fair, i’m right.

anyway, the day of my court date, i show up at the County Courthouse, with my mom, and like … sam is not there. 

we wait out front. he doesn’t show. my summons time gets closer. he doesn’t show. we ask the nice lady at the desk if maybe he came in already? he had not. 

we go into the courtroom, and i’m thinking, like, i’m going to jail. like i am literally going to go to prison. i cannot believe i threw my whole life away on casper and teriyaki, who i love, but not enough to do HARD TIME just so they can come to my birthday party!!!!!

the judge calls my name. i walk up the aisle like it is the green fucking mile, y’all. every step brings me closer to my destiny, which is to be one of those sad stories they tell in drivers’ ed to scare Teens into driving carefully and always checking their rearview mirror before backing up.

those stories were SO fucked up, y’all.

and also, my drivers ed instructor always told them in first person? like he’d always be like, “I knew a woman who backed up over her OWN BABY and it RUINED HER MARRIAGE” 

“i knew a guy who DID ECSTASY and then DROVE A CAR and his BEST FRIEND DIED TWICE”

“i knew a teen who drove a convertible and got into an accident and HER HEAD POPPED OFF AND FLEW OUT OF THE TOP AND IT LANDED IN HER MOTHER’S LAP” 

“i ONCE SAW TWELVE COPS GET OUT OF A VOLKSWAGEN BUG”

when i got to the front, the judge looked down at his … uhh…. whatever it is they have on their bench???

are they desks????

do they have drawers????

and was like, “molls ofgeo? isn’t sam supposed to be your lawyer?”

“he’s …. not here,” i said. “i don’t know where he is. i called like seventeen times. i’m kind of worried something happened.”

at that moment, behind me, the doors of the court opened.

it was sam.

sam’s whole head was wrapped in gauze.

the left side of his mouth was slanted down.

“i’m here,” sam said.

or at least i think he said, because what it sounded like was, “[you know that sound it makes when you fart underwater?]”

it turns out, sam had gotten an EMERGENCY DENTAL PROCEDURE that morning. there was LITERALLY bloody cotton balls in his mouth, but that forgettable son of a gun showed up anyway. 

WHAT DID YOU LOOK LIKE, SAM?

I STARED AT YOU FOR SO LONG. I REMEMBER WHAT YOUR HEADGAUZE LOOKED LIKE.

BUT NOT YOUR BLANDMAN FACE.

sam turned to the …. prosecutor? idk, the guy the town paid to be like, “i’m the lawyer for the Other Team,” when the other team was, like, the state, and said, “listen. how about we make this ticket be for just A Lot Speeding?”

the other lawyer, clearly deeply horrified at sam’s BLOOD FILLED MOUTH, was like, “honestly, i will say or do literally anything to not have to look at you anymore.”

and so it was. i paid a preposterous amount of money to the state of virginia and that was that.

although!!!!! the cop who pulled me over came up to me on my way out and was like, “you should have told me it was your birthday.”

MY DUDE, I WAS GOING NINETY MILES AN HOUR. WOULD THAT HAVE WORKED?
