[sketchy-tour]

He has!!! ARIVED!!!!!

He's here he's here he's here!!!!!! Safe and sound!!! We sat down and did some coloring together!!!!

And also made sure he met his new neighbors! Had a nice chat with my childhood stuffed animal! Asking all about what his new home is like. And of course, he had to meet Boober Fraggle!

Watched some Winnie the Pooh together! I think he really liked it. I hope he felt warm and welcomed in my home. A nice and cozy first day here!

[holeodemony]

Laughing crying choking on my tears why am I constantly haunted by the thoughts of all these tragic little gay men I just want then to be okay for once yet terrible things always happen why they just need to be in each others arms and in my arms I need to comfort them why because they're tragic little gay men and they're stuck in my head and consuming my every waking thought and I'm not okay because they're not okay.

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. 🤎

Hi! I really wanna do artfight but haven’t figured out how to send anything can u maybe explain? 🥺👉👈

Sure! Artfight is an online art-trading event that happens for the entire month of July, on artfight.net— every year, two “themes” are revealed, and participating artists will pick one of them to be on that “team.” You can upload reference pictures and explanations of your ocs to your profile page on artfight, and throughout the month, artists can draw other users’ characters and send them as “attacks,” ideally drawing characters from artists on the opposite team to earn points for their own team (though many artists (including myself) will just join/participate to draw their friends’ ocs and characters they think would be fun to draw, regardless of the teams)!

If you’re trying to figure out how to send an attack, you should be able to find the “Attacks” option on the drop down on the top right of the artfight home page (under the ‘Manage’ section, not ‘Messages’), and on that page you should be able to select “Submit New Attack!” from there, you’ll fill out anything you want to say about the attack, upload your images (as well as a 200x200 pixel thumbnail)l what “level” of drawing it is (how much you colored it, if you shaded it, if there’s a background, etc), and the website will calculate how many points you’ve earned for your team based on all of those categories and wether or not the artist you’re attacking is on your team or not!

Unfortunately, there’s only a few more days left in this year’s artfight, so you won’t be able to earn points for your team after August 3rd, but nothing can stop you from drawing others’ OCs for fun and posting them here after the event! Or you can always wait for next years fight if you want to take part in the team fight itself! But that being said you can join at any time even if it’s just for one week or one day or whatever!

MiqoMarch Day 18 - Snow

When your partner has been trained to strike from behind, it's best not to loose sight of her.

[smokbeast]

Seeing allot of trans stuff lately. I don't do this but obviously trans people and all people of LGBTQ+ are welcome here!! If you are a terf or sick mf I will stomp on you till you die you are not welcome here.

Also merlot, frak and soma are trans! Allot of my ocs are of the queer skellies and my goobies alike so hehe :]

[tetzoro]

i have been feeling so bummed lately because i have come to the realization that nobody wants to see what i have to post.

no matter how aesthetic or how long it takes me to write or how talented i may or may not be.

you inspired me to write and be active on tumblr! and i have mutuals but they don't regularly look at my account at all... how do i do better? get more exposure or... i don't know, cope? i tag, repost, write relavantly. what did i do wrong...

hi my sweet nonnie 🥺 i’m bundling you into a hug right now and bringing you some warm tea, i am so sorry you’re feeling this way right now :( i just want to say that you’re not doing anything wrong at all.

unfortunately, in my experience, tumblr is so ebb and flow there’s no perfect way to do tbh. you have to just take it as it comes and sometimes, it doesn’t feel like the best place to be. taking breaks is beneficial but it feels world ending to take them when you already feel so isolated.

the best thing i could say is just keep chatting with mutuals you’d maybe like to be friends with or just find interesting, interact when you can and above all, just follow the golden rule — treat others how you would like to be treated. it takes time but eventually the energy you put out will find its way back to you.

it sounds like you are doing a lot already ! interacting with others is always a great thing to do, so definitely keep posting + commenting + keep your name out on dash and in notifs :3 please try to not be afraid to be loud and take up space, tumblr is as much of yours as it is anyone else’s.

the more you put yourself out there, the better. even after being on fandom tumblr for like 3? 4 years now? i still have moments when i feel like this. for me, the best way to cope is to take space where i need it and chat with my friends OR if i feel like staying online, i send asks to those who i know are active and try to start conversations that way ! if i wanna feel included, i have to make the effort to include myself sometimes !! so reaching out to others helps me feel better :3

i’ve had multiple people talk to me about this and it seems to be a common theme these days :( it’s hard to get exposure just through the tags because a lot of times, it can be easier to keep up with what’s on your dash rather than try to navigate tumblrs tag system.

tldr ; a good way to increase exposure is to put out the energy that you wish to receive back when it comes to interactions. throw yourself into the community by reblogging others works, sending asks, etc etc until you find your people 🤍 the rest will follow !! at the end of the day, everyone is on here to seek connection.

also, this is what has worked for me in my experience !! everyone has a different journey here so i recommend asking others too for more advice + guidance !! i wish you the best, my sweets, i will be cheering you on !!! ✨

why are people so fucking rude. screams

[ugartecoco]

[charles-leclerc-official]

i definitely enjoy tumblr more when it comes to f1 fandom. maybe it's because i can curate my space better here idk, but people are waay less judgemental here, whether it's about your f1 takes and just being "weird" (e.g. fanfic and art when it comes to shipping drivers) or just plain sentimental. it's also more friendly for beginners, in my experience the ppl here are way more friendly and i have the freedom to ask dumb questions and (tentatively) share my takes without fear of being shamed or humiliated lol. when someone on here disagrees with me they're pretty civil and nice. again it could just be the way ive curated my space. on twitter they have this weird superiority complex. the anti-lestappen stuff is obvious, but i remember there was this one fan who just got sentimental over charles and ferrari, and she got flamed by other charles fans saying it was cringe like what 😭😭😭

Oh yeah I think tumblr is best for fandom because we are all kinda in the cringe factory together, glass houses and all that. And I think people are generally more friendly because poeple on this website aren't angry all the time.

Plus the lack of algo is good, you can make your post and it's far less likely to break containment. Whereas on twt the algo could show it to one wrong person and then you get dog piling. The chances a post goes well beyond it's intended audience is far less likely here. And you just have more control over how people interact with your posts etc.

Exactly! what happened to the joy in getting emotional over the things you like? Let people have fun. (We need to bring squee back tbh)

I am interested in looking at lestappen in fandom because it's evolved to an interesting point in the broader fandom space. Like how this relates to rpf in general, and how people react to it. Plus people will always hate the biggest ship in a fandom (destiel soldier here o7)

[canongf]

i said this in my tags the other day but!!! i've been on here less and less just bc as much as i looove it here, i love imagining and i love pretending, i don't wanna imagine and pretend forever!!! there are things i wanna do!! and i'm gonna do them :)
