This is a shoutout to every single reader in the world who ever leaves any comment! Short or long or silly or serious, they’re literal lifeblood. I know us writers keep saying it, but it means the whole world for us to know that you’ve enjoyed our work in any way possible. Like tossing a snack in our enclosure.

Thank you!!! <3

i think we need to understand the gravity of how quickly Percy blames himself and his disabilities for the way his world is. how he's been made to believe over years and years that he's weird, that there's something wrong with him. Percy saying he should've been paying attention. Percy saying there's something wrong with his brain. Percy calling himself broken.. he's just a kid man

Started watching the Bayverse movies with my besties and... Are we just too gay for these movies??? Admittedly we only finished the first two and got through a quarter of the third, but the second one was such a drag to sit through at times and it probably doesn't help that we do NOT care about Sam that much. I hope that there is a character arc for him in the rest of the third movie. Because so far he has not been fun to watch in that one. He just comes off as a slight manchild to me, like... I can see why he would be frustrated with where he is in life but the way he acts with others and lashes out does not help him in the slightest. I do have to admit though that seeing him go to Cybertronian Heaven in the second movie was the funniest part for me and my besties lol.

I'll just hope that the other guy in the next movies will be at least a bit more interesting. Doesn't even have to be a good guy, just an interesting guy for me lol

Raph sniffs again and leans into the touch, trying to put his finger on why Pops’ words hit wrong. He’s…he’s supposed to be better, isn’t he? His brothers all got hurt when he was supposed to be protecting them (nevermind that the Krang were an overpowering, nearly invincible enemy). He nearly killed Leo himself (nevermind that he’d gotten captured making sure Leo was safe, and that he’d do it again to keep his brother - all of his brothers - out of the Krang’s clutches). They’d nearly lost Leo for good (nevermind that the sacrifice play was the only one left and Leo was the only one left to make it, as Raph was doing his best to keep Mikey and Donnie alive). He couldn’t solve any of the big problems and it was a miracle they all survived, and now he can’t even solve the stupid little problems-

“I’m s’posed to be helping,” is what he manages, in a voice so small and tired it takes him by surprise.

LAY ME DOWN IS DONE, Y'ALL, and nobody is more surprised than me 8D Final chapter is up and ready to read! In which trying to be everything to everyone takes its toll and Raph finally has a little collapse of his own. Good thing Splinter's around to help.

Thanks again to everyone who's read and supported the fic, and a huge thanks to @dandylovesturtles for the beta work (and for listening to me lose my mind over ongoing writer's block)! I legit would not have finished this without you.

Okay, but I would legitimately like to do a character analysis of Jimmy Kurosaki and see what bullshit I can pull out my ass from his practically zero seconds screen time.

You don't understand how unhinged I feel trying to construct an ending for Bleach that I personally would enjoy while knowing Bleach does not deserve my time and also not remembering enough to actually make anything coherent. And yet here I am.

A Resurrection Beast is the collective soul of a whole planet.

Therefore, Alecto is the collective soul of all life on earth.

Paging @scar-can-relate, because: the only life left on earth we know of are fish.

Is that's why Alecto is a saltwater creature? It's not just because it mirrors what her true body looks like (i.e. submerged). Saltwater is the only place left that has life and Alecto is that life. Maybe the water in the pool on the Ninth is even originally from Earth. Thinking of that post about the saltwater pool working not as a ward but a conduit...

except if the water is her blood it's kind of like a blood ward

But if Alecto still has a connection to the life left in her original body, what does that imply about the other Resurrection Beasts?

i think i need to go look for a post right now immediately

Okay, say you have 1k a day for life. You can spend a grand pretty quick and even if you're getting it every day for life, that's still only 365k per year.

It would take you 27 years to turn that into 10mil without a savings account or some type of investment.

Meanwhile, if you have 10mil in hand right then and there, you can:

Buy yourself a $250,000 home paid in full, a good, reliable car ($10k? $15k? We'll highball it at $20k), also paid in full.

You still have $9,730,000.

Put 2mil in a savings account. At the average return rate (0.47%), you get 940,000 per year, which comes out to earning over $2,500 per day. You more than double what the $1k per day for life would give you, AND you have enough to set yourself to live comfortably the rest of your life.

"But caxy! Then you have $7,730,000 left just sitting there collecting dust!"

Nope. Then you have money you can put towards friends, family, charity, projects you believe in, people you want to support and help and save and offer a chance at a new life to. Here, let me show you:

$250k home, say it's 3-bed, 2-bath, 2-story, whether that's "basement+ground" or ground+upstairs, or maybe 2-story allows for ground+upstairs+basement. Whatever the case, we'll say your electric bill is pretty high, $250 per month, and your internet is high too, $175 per month, and you spend $1500 on groceries per month.

And we'll say you pay $800 a month on your car insurance, too.

That brings total monthly spending to: $2,725

Need I remind you we're making $2,500 per DAY in that savings account? Even if your monthly spending was $5,000 or $10,000 or even $20,000 it would not matter. With 10mil, you'd have a paid-off house, paid-off car, and if you put even 2mil into savings you'd be making more than twice the "$1,000 per day" option.

So say you spend $20,000 per month on necessities (humor me)

That means you spend, per year on necessities, $240,000. But you've made $940,000 in savings accrual, for a net profit of $700,000.

My point, for those wondering, is that with 10mil in hand immediately, you have enough money to not only set yourself up for life (assuming you don't waste it on upper-crust luxuries day in and day out...) AND still be able to spend, quite literally, AS MUCH AS YOU WANT on ANYONE else, be they friends, family, artists, writers, crafters, causes you support, projects you want to see done, and no matter how much you spend on those things, as long as you kept your spending below your yearly savings accrual, you would NEVER see your bank even remotely close to "uh oh" for the rest of your life.

People choosing 1k per day aren't thinking about the fact you can get WAY more than that per day by just throwing a few million in savings.

People choosing 1k per day aren't seeing the sheer potential of being able to not only secure your own financial stability permanently, but having the money *in hand then and there* to secure a dozen other futures permanently as well.

Hell you could go a step further and make two savings accounts; one for personal savings and one for "spending on others", specifically to build up money for the sole purpose of spending that money on other people, and put the rest in a checking account for the sake of necessities and day-to-day purchases.

Explain your reasoning plzzz
