"...but don’t you dare try and lie to me. I won’t accept such disrespect from you. Don't look down on me.”

I'm sorry for the low quality doodles they were done in like, 5 minutes but I've been working on the next chapter of Tete-a-tete and when I wrote that line I couldn't stop myself thinking "dude, Yashiki can't not look down on you. You're a little guy." x3

Pretty sure me and Mashi are the same height, but I still like taking jabs at him x3

Little fella, wee man. Kitty cat.

Kyosuke stop! This isn't hope at all! This... This is tyrany! All you're doing is continuing the cycle of despair and death!

Hardly. By cutting despair off at the roots ensure it won't be able to grow and spread again.

And that is exactly what I am trying to accomplish here!

To what end!?

You want to stop despair, I understand that. But what are you trying to accomplish here with this?

You called Bandai's death a sacrifice, and now you're attempting to kill us as well for the simple reason that we don't think they're responsible for this game?

How is this helping the world? How is this avenging Bandai and Chisa's death?!

SILENCE! YOU DO NOT GET TO SPEAK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!

!

!

.....I am....doing this......for her....and for everyone...!

And you're only delaying the your fate! Despair dies right here and NOW!

Hmph.

Oh, oh no...

'Nnngh, crap! I don't know if I can even keep going on like this much longer....'

------------------------------------------

Every word out of your mouth is fucking disappointing me.

Doubting yourself? Now?! At the most critical points in battle?! Maybe your own life and friends aren't dear enough to you, is that it?!

You continue to lie to yourself, over and over and over again today. It is all ever seem to do. Heed my words: accept the truth, Hajime Hinata.

---------------------------------------

'What truth?! Knock it off with your bullshit already! I don't need this right now!'

---------------------------------------------

Fine. But the least you can do is move your head to avoid the incoming projectile from behind.

-----------------------------------------------

'The what?'

*Ptchoosh!*

*Instinctively Hajime moves his head slightly to avoid a seemingly thin projectile that just narrowly misses Kyosuke*

You...

*Hajime and his group turn back to reveal who shot the attack....*

Hmmm, missed. I really am getting too old.

Kaz couldn't help the rapid blinking and squinting of his eyes as he came out into the sunlight. He had been down underground for what felt like hours at this point and knew that he had promised to come home before sunset. It had always been a pleasure to explore Angel Island, even if he knew his Baba had explored quite a bit of it.

However, the hybrid couldn't help a small frown as his eyes finally adjusted to the light. Something was wrong. The area around the entrance to the old echidna building was different from when he entered. He couldn't figure out how he knew that, but he knew.

His ears faced forward as he started to walk in the direction he thought the Master Emerald would be resting. Surely he was imagining things.

So, I know you don't really ship characters. But, I just have to know. Which ship you would choose. Kazuscara (Kazuha x Scaramouche) or Heikazu (heizou x Kazuha)

Cause i love both, but I wanna know your opinion on ig

hello love 💓 hmmm, this is so hard, like i‘m not too well versed in their connections together but i can remember really liking heizou & kazuha together and wished for them to have more scenes (or give us an animated cutscene hoyo i beg lmao🥲💀) but also, i can totally see why kazuha & scaramouche is such a popular ship because from what i can remember, the backstory alone is so angsty like the way scaramouche was kinda like a catalyst to the beginning of the downfall of kazuha‘s clan + his voice line about him was so hilarious lmfao i can still vividly remember it being all over twitter, it‘s just that cute and funny💀💀💀💀💓 so, i feel like i‘d choose scara x kazuha just because i adore the entire angsty vibe around them a lot 🤔

One year old and possibly my best recent work.

"heaven is a prison"

a short story influenced by the wild manga of Kazou Umezz (Drifting Classroom) and the wild film "Riki-Oh: Story of Ricky" and my own desire to get out of here alive.

[nagdabbit]

books! this is some of the stuff I've liked in the past couple of yrs.

Nobody is Talking About This, as already suggested

horror: Ring Shout - P. Djeli Clark. Black women fighting KKK but also there are weird alien things.

Camp Damascus - Chuck Tingle. queer woman fighting a church conversion camp but also there are weird demon things.

The Ballad of Black Tom - Victor Lavalle. this is a Lovecraft retelling set in 1920s Harlem so maybe too close to actual Lovecraft for you? but it definitely had me staring at the wall occasionally.

not horror, but weird: We Had to Remove this Post - Hanna Bervoets. super short and fucking WEIRD. about a woman who works doing quality control responding to reports for a twitteresque company.

not horror or weird, but goofy enough to possibly break a reading slump from sheer amusement: Kaiju Preservation Society - John Scalzi. Our hero (gender never given) gets a job working for a secret organization. It's basically Jurassic Park but make it kaiju and with less science and more jokes.

I also recently discovered a small queer indie press called Neon Hemlock and I've loved everything I've read from them so far so if you can find any of their stuff, I recommend! And they're almost all novellas so nothing really draggy.

fucking fuck yesssss thanj you and god bless im adding adding all of these to my reading list immediately

im so pumped todd ordered both camp damascus and bury your gays the other day, im so excited to read them! or try to at least if my brain cooperates

Clouds, bees and artificial friends

Anthropomorphism featured in several of the books that I read during my recent digital detox [see ‘Entropy and junkies‘ on August 2nd, 2023].  I really liked the opening section of ‘When I Sing, Mountains Dance‘ by Irene Sola which is narrated from the perspective of clouds that arrive over a landscape with painfully full ‘black bellies, burdened with cold, dark water, lightening bolts,…

Freed from this unholy sophistry

It's done. My Death Mark longfic, Victims to an Unholy Sophistry, is finally finished!! This is a kinda vent post cuz I needa spew but also a appreciation post! Haha!

Ough. Two years. VUS took me two years to finish and that extended time really made me sour towards it. Plus, I have the instant reflex to hate anything I make, haha!

But unfortunately for VUS, it was being written during the worst part of my life so far - a lot has happened in my life during this time - moving into my own place, forcing myself to be more social, family issues and mainly the BIGGGG continual mental spiral - those things being some of reasons it took so long to finish! But because it is tied to this time in my life I can't bring myself to love it. Right now I’m panicking that I didn't do the ending the Justice the Lonely who started writing it wanted. So I'm sorry, past Lonely. I still feel that Rainwater Coffee is my favourite work, even though VUS had themes which I love.

My inspiration for VUS was the manga Sleeping Dead, which I love! The ending was so powerful and beautiful, portrayed so well, I felt empty once it was finished!

But as I said in my author's notes, I am super, super grateful to all the fishes that gave VUS a chance and stuck around!! It means the whole ocean to me!! Despite that being their job, words can't express the gratitude I feel to anyone who checks out my works!! ❤️ I do have a shorter sequel planned for VUS, only because I wanna use a certain guy as an antagonist! (I'm easy to read, you know who it is!) but I want to get other works out of the way, first!!

So again, thank you so, so much if you read VUS and liked it! Knowing that it gave a handful of people some enjoyment is enough for me! ❤️

As a fun bonus, here's the only physical reference for Lady and Mister I have from a while back. I hate having to design clothing, the whole fic everyone just had basic long robe/cloak get-ups when I was thinking about scenes, even though in my head I pictured certain characters having more detailed clothing!

They were a fun duo, weird siblings Vs normal siblings, haha! They're just big fans of the Kujou family, lol!

If I wasn't mistaken,you have promised to take care of Kyoko if her father has passed away,right?

I appreciate the offer, but like I said, I don't need protection. I can take care of myself. You already have 2 keycards in your possession, as long as you still hold on to them, I'll know where they are, so you serve no further use to me.

Look, Kyoko I-

CALL ME KIRIGIRI!

!

!

!

!

Ah...s-sorry... Kirigiri....

Listen. And listen well.

I. Do not care. What you promised. To my father.

He. Means. Nothing. To me!

So keep. Your worthless. Acts of concern. And delusions of a responsibility you carry to a dead man. To yourself.

If you aren't to cooperate, or if you're just going to continue pestering me about this issue.

Then fuck off.

..........

Hey hey hey! This got way too tense in here!

Kyoko. L-Look, I can get that this guy can be kinda annoying. But, don't you think you're also being a little harsh yourself...? He just wants to us and you. You...don't have to be too mean about it.

You wouldn't understand, Hiro. You wouldn't-

HEY MOVE!

?!?!

*SLAM!*

*Koichi grabs both Kyoko and Hiro by the wrists and pulls them back. Then a chair comes flying at them and hits the wall.*

Juzo: Tch...

Damn, I missed.

Who’s to say she hasn’t tried? However, the more she does, the more they are revealed to truly be soulmates and it kills her spirit a lil more every time. I mean look at what happened to the Departed for even being jealous of Mashita. (I should be the one next to my husband 💀) She has just realized that her brother is bound to be railed degraded by this smoker ex-detective loser

Saya is stronger than me if i found out my brother has been ghosthunting with a scummy chimney who trashtalk him 24/7 i would haunted clowned his ass for his trash taste and his boyfriend cuz if there’s anyone who can pissed him off it’s me

What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of 1987 Shredder's character? I want to write fanfics with him but I'm scared that I'll make him out of character.

Strengths:

-he's good with words, he wanted to be a writer before he turned to villainy. This doesn't mean he's always eloquent--he's also shake-fist-at-sky 'you won't get away this time' classic saturday morning cartoon bad guy

-he loves to make puns or references while he's fighting,, and now that I said that I can't think of examples but it'll be things that relate to the situation

oh i got one. mind-controlled squid -> 'you're going down turtles, and I squid you not' followed by a hearty laugh and 'i made a funny'

-doesn't give up

-delegates

Weaknesses

-pride. usually this is more so Krang's fault but sometimes the two of them just let the turtles go because they want to defeat them later in a more humiliating way

-whiny. he's so whiny especially with Krang. He'll literally be asked to do something he wants to do and still whine about it. he loves to complain

-mommy issues, craves parental approval and nurture and power over others etc.

-delegation can also be a weakness because he keeps sending Bebop and Rocksteady or others he finds to go after the turtles, even though this consistently does not work

Other Stuff

He has a little brother, Kazou, who's embarrassed by his evilness. Saki doesn't seem embarrassed by him, though; he does make fun of him and there is a definite rift, but considering the circumstances under which they reunited the fact that Shredder's immediate reaction was to make fun of baby bro for acting tough--idk there's warmth there, to me. Not healthiness, not exactly a close loving sibling bond, but warmth

Splinter's former pupil--mommy issues relevant when these two fight
