it's crazy to me that the only way you can fail the matron's test is by trusting your best friend or mother and caring for their plight. but not as crazy when you know they're a follower of the betrayer and a ruidusborn though, right?

imogen sounds so defeated when she asked if trusting her mother was bad. then imogen repeating the same again to the hells with this really helpless look. because the matron, a near-omniscient being, has written off her mother as something too rotten to be trusted.

"you know your mother best in the end" the way that does not change the fact that YOU have viewed her mother in the worst light. it's killing me but i have to love the consistent portrayal of the holy, at every level of the realm, putting the burden on others to find goodness or redemption in ruidusborns. but until proven otherwise they are personally fine with reducing ruidusborns to caricatures of an evil turncoat.

the matron of ravens was not there when the gods, despite luz/sarenrae's insistence to give it a chance, decided to distrust the rotten fruit and plucked it right off from its tree, setting off their own end.

Pretty Random Turtle Thunks:

Christmas Gifts

Just some silly HC ideas on what I would get the Bayverse Boys for Christmas with all the money I got from working overtime during the holidays:

(for all the folks who do overtime in any form or fashion, y'all are my heroes. Thank you 🙏🏼🧡🫡)

Rating: Milk (This one’s for everyone!)

Leo: Cordless Vaccum with Additional Brushes

Hear me out. HC Leo has pretty bad OCD/ Anxiety. (feel free to ask me questions on why I think this; short story, man folds his arms and does his little nervous foot-tapping dance thing) It doesn't necessarily always look like that because he's worked on shoving it so far down (the emotionally constipated turtle he is) that its one of the reasons he can tend to be a bit…well…high strung. All that chaos, the responsibility, the weight that is contained his mind can be a bit maddening and one of the ways he works through it or tries to redirect that nervous energy is through cleaning. It gives him something he can do and see an immediate result to. Leo’s also a meticulous perfectionist, so what better to get him for Christmas than something that will allow him to clean every nook and cranny he can without being hindered; finally putting that pent up energy into something useful. Clean, orderly, and sensible. Because even if the rest of the world is crazy, doesn't mean his mind or his home should be. Well…or at the very least his room. Everything in place as all good things should be. At least that how it feels being with you 😉💙

Donnie: Hand Massager

Something cheesy I know I know. But think about it. Donnie has spent practically his entire life building gadgets and gizmos that help other people. Sure, there's the occasional more specific stuff for him and his brothers, but I don't think he really thinks all that much about building stuff to specifically help himself. You know this turtle gets on that one track mindset waaaaay too often and struggles with taking care of himself. Especially his hands. His hands are his livelihood. His chance to express himself when sometimes emotions and words cannot. I just think Donnie deserves a little break and to put some TLC into the hands that so often reach out to others. Donnie deserves to know that he's worth taking care of himself too. And the best part is if he doesn't like it, he can always tinker with it to make it better. Because that's what Donnie does, makes the world better by being himself and of course, being with you. 😉💜

Raph: Minky Couture Blanket

A blanket? Really? I know what y'all are thinking but hear me out. Raph is a our big boy. The protector. The muscle. The hard headed bruiser who's always on the front lines taking every hit so his family and the rest of the world doesn't have to. He takes the hits because he knows he can handle it and give it right back. That's what he's good at, and he's proud of it. But its not easy. It hurts. And I imagine it can get rather exhausting. Sometimes I think Raph forgets that his heart is a muscle too and it needs to be taken care of just like the rest of the muscles that he puts so much effort into. These blankets are by far the softest that I have EVER had the privilege of touching. Silky smooth to the the touch AND THEY CAN COME WEIGHTED TOO! I think Raph deserves something warm and soft (I HC that he's super touch and texture sensitive) to come home to after fighting in this cold hard world. (A blanket will do. At least until he has you 😉❤️)

Mikey: Thyme and Table Black and Gold Cookset

I’ve always loved the thought that Mikey was the biggest foodie in the family which honestly makes sense. Because what better way to bring people together, no matter who they are, than the ultimate connector that is the love of food? Mikey loves people and he loves expressing himself. What better way than doing that through magic that is cooking?! I want to get him this set because it looks super classy (and I think Mikey needs a reminder every once in a while that he can be cool and chic just like the rest of his bros. That he isn't always just the goof and the brunt of the joke) Mikey, like anything in black and gold, is a statement piece that deserves his own chance to shine! Also with it being speckled, it looks clean while being dirty too. The mess in a masterpiece if you will.

Just like our Mikey!

And you bet your bottom dollar that he is gonna to LOVE trying to make some magic for you😉🧡

Splinter: Lego Tranquil Garden

Splinter is a part of this family and deserves something nice too! My favorite thing is surprising older folks with something considered “childish” and watching them have a chance to explore their inner child once again. Not to mention these lego sets are basically just 3D puzzles and old folks love puzzles! Because puzzles are just workouts for the brain! (at least that's what my grandma keeps telling me) And I think Master Splinter would like to have something fun to work on while his boys are always out saving the world. You know, a little piece of serenity that never fades away (because plastic is eternal and what not) in the crazy world that he gets to call home with his sons. 🤎

Ngl Wesker would be an insane at pole dancing

[angelpuns]

I worry that people are mad at me so often and the unfortunate part about that is even if I haven't done anything to make them mad ( but what if smthn I did was misinterpreted?? How would I even know??) my brain will manage to convince me that not only are they mad at me but I MUST have done SOMETHING.

Which wouldn't be as convincing without the fact that I HAVE had a couple of instances where I have totally blacked out for a second and done something. I mean I was a kid but what if amiright?

[formulaonedirection]

Ok the single craziest thing to come out of this stream is the knowledge that max checks on Lando’s sleep reports in the mornings (I assume this is some whoop thing but that doesn’t make it any more sane)

Please you know when we were saying he and Ed were just trading off on taking care of Lando every other week we were like maybe joking but I really think that Max is taking Lando's well being so seriously these last few months. Like not just that they seem to have some sort of health pack with each other (ok first of all why are you obsessed with Max Fewtrell's body) but also the weird clinginess, the more than usual maxtivity hours online, Max going to Monza impromptu just so Lando always has someone at a race that he can just be normal with and not On. It's just cute that someone's looking at Lando's sleep hours and being like "should I text him and see if anything's wrong" because Max saw only 3 hours of sleep. THEY'RE SWEET TO EACH OTHER.

Alternatively you can also think about this wretched suggestion

˚✧₊⁎ foxtaru is only ever a service sub or a real mean rough dom :(( it depends on how close his rut is!!

when it’s far off, he’ll whine and fuck into you desperately. with his tail wagging softly and his drool dripping onto you it’s hard to say no when he asks so sweet ‘pretty please,’ can he fuck you. he’ll do anything for it, he swears!! it’s easy to bring him to tears if you make him wait, make him beg and pretend to think a bit too long about your answer. he’ll be humping your leg and apologizing for being so bad but he can’t help it!! he needs to slip his cock and knot into you :(( he’ll die, an exaggeration, if he doesn’t!! push him far enough and just gracing his cock with your shoe will have him spilling all messy on the ground…

but, during his ruts… he’s very different. foxtaru only knows how to take and breed when his hormones surge. expect to be knocked to the ground and stripped before you even notice he’s near!! he’s gotta put his knot into you even if it hurts and even if you cry. through snarls and groans he’ll promise you’ll be a very pretty mate and that he’s gonna protect you and your shared kits forever and ever; a very possessive boy. he has zero control when his ruts hit so try and learn the signs that show before it starts if you’re not interested in being bedridden for weeks!!

Pennyyy :]<3

Character belongs too hoofpeet

Speedraw under cut :]

Had to cut out a bit of the beginning because it flashed to much I hate that ibis does that but otherwise the general flash warning for speedraws it's goin quick

[saints-who-never-existed]

Right – first scene and already my brain is fired up!

I just want to rant and rave, first of all, about the choice to start in media res with James Ross and the Netsilik Hunter. There's something oddly freeing, narratively speaking, about knowing from the start that they're all doomed. It lends so much more weight to the characters' actions - we already know the ending so all that matters is the journey to get there.

(Although I suppose in media res isn't quite the right term actually given we’re at the end of the story and not in the middle… Is there a term for that? In finem res possibly? I don’t actually know!)

Anyway, just thinking about that phrase alone sent me down a rabbit hole. I half-remembered reading that it’s often associated with Epic Poetry which is interesting in itself. That genre deals with heroes on journeys/quests, battling and overcoming a variety of often divinely-wrought obstacles in their path. In many ways then what we are seeing on screen is an Epic of sorts but it is, of course, a woefully and irrevocably corrupted one. We have a central figure on a journey both external and internal and a divinely-wrought obstacle in the way but nothing is really overcome in any way that matters.

Interestingly, I’ve now learned that there are more specific characteristics of that genre and more interesting still is to see how well our story fits them, both in general and in the way it’s laid out in this first scene:

Begins in medias res ☑️ (Self-explanatory)

The setting is vast, spanning many locations or even the whole world/universe ☑️ (I'm thinking not only of the endless expanse of the Arctic and of happenings in England but of internal emotional/spiritual landscapes too)

Features invocations to a muse (I haven't fully figured out where and how this one fits. Franklin certainly invoked God often enough but really this refers more to the story's narrator invoking a muse and in that case, perhaps if the Netsilik Hunter is the narrator then we might consider Crozier himself as a muse of sorts?)

Begins with a statement of the theme (Again, I'm going to think about this one a bit more before I can speak coherently on it.)

Includes the use of epithets ☑️ (Many more articulate than I have discussed the specific naming of things as a recurring theme - "James Fitzjames, like a bad pun", "A man named Cornelius Hickey", "Aglooka", "Lady Silence", "The thing made of muscles and spells", "The man who ate his boots" etc.)

Contains long lists - an epic catalogue ☑️ (Again, other articulate people have mentioned the constant counting and measuring of things across the series - men both living and dead, remaining supplies, chances of survival etc. - and I think that counts here.)

Has long and formal speeches ☑️

Features divine intervention in human affairs ☑️

Often show the hero's descent into the underworld or hell ☑️ (All fairly self-explanatory really.)

Focuses on heroes who embody the values of their society ☑️ (This is one of the most interesting to me. The men of the Expedition do indeed embody the values of the society in which they lived but that's very much not a good thing when said society is such a cruel, prejudiced, colonialist, morally-bankrupt one driven so utterly by greed. )

hey gang uni is killing me (it's only the second week) but i'm dropping in to say that i'm in need of roommate! choso who you have the most horrendous sexual tension with and it snaps at the worst possible time because you keep teasing him.

it's not even the super mean jabs, too. you just press on that he's a loser (lovingly) one too many times and that gets him so hard that the minute he has you on his lap, he's whining into your mouth and saying that he's going to come in his pants and that he hates you so much (he really doesn't) because his reaction to your touch only proves your point even more .. sighs
