#like that one futurama bit

[rad-roche]

i'm glad i made gloria Just Some Lady. don't get me wrong, future detective is a pretty fucking cool job, but it's not the head of an entire faction. could you imagine her doing that? she'd be made general of the minutemen and put out an order for everybody to never call her at this fucking number again

[leadendeath]

one more thing.

because of the setup of the first episode, i have tried on at least two (2) different years to do this:

"start a full rewatch of the entirety of futurama starting on jan 1st because Obviously"

but i have Never watched the full show! can u believe!!! i really list it among my ultimate fav shows ever and have so many memories of watching it as a kid, yet i've never watched the whole thing‼‼‼

[jackalsraised]

yknow....... this reminds me of that one episode of futurama--

[msnihilist]

Your idea of playing with your dollies is a father sexually abusing his son. And you romanticize it. And before you argue “Yeah but there’s dark content in media that romanticizes it!” Yes, they exist but it does not mean it’s depicted in a positive light. It’s portrayed as scary and traumatizing to the character in question. And while they’re not an actual person, it hits home to victims. There is nothing okay with going “tee hee rape!”

Yep, it sure is! And I sure do :)

"that does not mean it's depicted in a positive light" I'm sorry, did you think that the cannibalism in Hannibal was just ketchup, too, or something? Dark media constantly romanticizes this sort of stuff. The primary relationship in Hannibal is scary and traumatizing, yes, but also romantic. The good ending is that the two toxic lovers eat people together.

Black Butler has two cousins in a romantic relationship, and their engagement is taken very seriously by them both and is in fact a core component of their characters. It's an incestuous relationship played completely straight and taken seriously by the writer and is definitely not scary or traumatizing.

Invincible has a relationship between an immortal man and a girl who is 20 at the most (literally a part of "Teen Team," I doubt she's older than that), and not only is it shown to be healthy, but her death devastates this man, even having lost so many others in his long, long life.

In Futurama, one of the main characters time traveled and fucked (and impregnated) his grandmother. Not only is this not shown to be scary or traumatizing, it's a reoccuring joke, referenced multiple times, and it is plot-important so you can't even explain the underlying plot of the show without mentioning it.

The Coffin of Andy and LeyLey is a horror game, and the good ending is the brother and sister characters fucking each other. Incest is literally good for them.

So, yes, media depicts these topics in a positive light frequently. Do you know why? Because no one cares.

This is all adult content made for adult consumers, and if you need everything you read or watch to tell you that rape and incest are bad, then you are the problem.

Do you know what does hit home to victims? My writing. My best friend is someone I met through my writing. She told me that as someone who had been abused and groomed, my stories where the underage character and the adult get a happy ending make her cry. Why? Because in fiction, I have the power to make this story have a happy ending.

In my fantasy world, the kind adult isn't secretly a predator. There is no power imbalance. The kid can be emotionally mature enough to handle this relationship. The adult can actually be safe and not just a creep. The relationship can last a long time and be safe and happy for the both — because it's not real.

It gives my friend (and victims like her) great comfort to indulge a bit, and imagine that their story could have ended happily, too. Obviously, it couldn't have in reality — that's why my friend is reading about it instead of running back to her abuser.

Stop trying to police fantasy. You are hurting people — harmless thoughts are not.

ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE DIRECT TOMORROW :D

oh! i forgot this was happening. i suppose so! i imagine it's just going to be, as they say, Somewhat Nothingburger Bullshit and then maybe a trailer for plza or some such. maybe i could do a restream of it with some commentary. would anyone be interested in that? what time even is it. lemme check. ok 6 AM pacific which. i'm eastern. pretty sure that means i'm three hours ahead… soooo… 9 AM? eastern time? i can do that. that's right around when i wake up. i'd prolly start it at 8:30 so we can warm up and such before the direct actually starts so i can get any technical difficulties worked out. maybe! if enough folks are interested i might do it. sound off if you're interested

edit: perhaps also a watch party in the discord, if more folks over there are interested than here!

i've heard this one many a time! especially back during the first round of the dex. which, yes! i've leaned into that a bit as time has gone on, showcasing pokémon from angles you wouldn't typically see in official art or in-game

thiiiis makes sense! the pokémon company is indeed a japanese company. well actually i just checked bulbapedia which says this:

which also makes sense. unfortunately i am not vladimir pokémondesigner but anyone who is maybe we can ask them

this is. so ominous. i wish i could say this is on purpose because it's kindof awesome?? new furret fakemon evo just dropped??

this is cool. i don't know about futurama at all besides the gif of fry with the money and the tumblr post about shampoo but a wooden metagross would be a really cool regional evolution. maybe it could be grass/psychic or grass/ground or something. or for some reason i have this image in my head of a wooden metagross that's like. on fire. because it's from a very arid and hot region. and it could be grass/fire and have scary glowing eyes and a glowing mouth like a jack-o-lantern

YEEEAAAH LET'S HEAR THAT ENTHUSIASM!!! WOOOOO

i was about to make a gif of torterra as well but then i realized i already made one on the original round of the 'dex! so there you go

credit is appreciated, but not necessary! go on ahead

ok that's all. have one of my favorite gifs i've made:

APRIL COMMUNITY POST

This month on a very special Double Helix…

Gandhi is all alone in the world, CJ gets accepted to his clone-fathers dream school and there are more Sheepmen than you can shake a tenured position at.

Now let’s take a look at what the fools had to say in April:

Gandhi's return

Yeah but that's not the image they'd like for a national hero. Same reason they cut Jesus' teen years out of the Bible. I hear he was a bit of a shark at the dom-jot tables and got into a fight he couldn't finish with some Nausicaans.

Sheesh, you tease fridging him a couple dozen times and people start to get paranoid!

Cinnamon Junior

I should have known the hissing alleycat child would activate a parental instinct in some. He's free to a good home! Hell, a bad one too. I need that mangy thing out of my home, pronto.

Okay but let's cut you some slack: you figured it out within about six hours of the update. You're ready for the PXJT's!

I've been on Tumblr long enough; I walked right into that one.

I love the Futurama conceit that robots are basically hollow inside. They're just magic metal people like the Tin Woodsman, no matter what Marge says.

Shadowy Figure

It's always fun to imbue inanimate things with character. The monitors can move around based on the Shadowy Figures mood.

Sheepmen

Imagine if every workday was also a family reunion plus a reckoning with the self. How have the Sheepmen not succumbed to a fatal case of the Mondays.

JFK returns

JFK's one of those guys who needs to be certain that he could pull any guy in school. "Just to be cleah, you considah me hawt, right?"

You couldn't have planned it but this setup and punchline took me out 💀💀💀

I don't think Gabe knows what year it is most of the time. The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma...

Miscellaneous Feedback

If anyone asks, I put a reference to Zeus with Caesar and Jupiter with Helen of Troy to agitate Classics majors.

The lesson here is you can get away with murder if you're at least funny about it.

The pithy joke comments are all very well but this is what I really do it for: being told directly and unequivocally that I am good at this.

The drawing in question is pure unleaded goober, how did it invite such a divine comment!

Oh hey, that's my real-life friend Róisín. Hi Róisín! Thank you for reading. Literally none of my fake-ass flatmates are. I appreciate that you type exactly the way you speak in person. Let's go to the book cafe again! I'm reading Hitchhikers Guide for the first time, I bet it's right up your alley. Okay, gotta go. I'm replying to feedback on my blog like it's 2005.

Fanart Spotlight

So remember last month where I was jumping for joy after getting my first and, to date, only piece of fanart? Well, this month my cup runneth over with contributions from five new artists!!

First, some beautiful mixed-media from @cheresh-nya

@kimtiny went ahead and drew the whole dang gang!

If that weren't enough, they also drew comics, plural! I can't fit them all into one post (stupid images-per-post limit) but follow this link to read them!

@theabesimp made a damn renaissance painting of Gabe:

Patty and gabe photobombed this delightful collage by @gspot-rocks-the-gspot

And last but never least, @jfkonfucius made this gorgeous Double Helix/Burnt Beach crossover comic:

I'm not at liberty to say how character accurate these interactions are yet but when your comic is this pretty, you can characterise them however you want. I'm busy objectifying your shape language.

Also, not trying to be a freak but Burnt Beach JFK; maybe just make-out about it? Swap some saliva and maybe you'll calm down?

Also, it amuses me that Gabe is as popular in fanart as he is in canon! His high cheekbones and thicc skull have enchanted the public.

And as if all the art weren't cool enough, @chameleoncove made a DOUBLE HELIX PLAYLIST! One of the highest possible honours. Listening to to the haunting strains of soft indie rock while I draw wacky cartoon shenanigans puts me into the perfect headspace for authentic Clone High, like Mama used to make.

And it looks like they've been updating it along with the comic. Long may it continue!

Next Month on a Very Special Double Helix…

We bring the final new clones in out of the cold and as the first day of school ends, the clones return home for the first time in twenty years. Will May be the most jaw-dropping month yet? Mayhaps.

Stay High everyone! @neutrallyobsessed @starpupinterlude @moondove330 @gandhiclonehighlover @cateat @sashaskull @knightpunks @garbagefirelol @thatweirdstemrat @rollerdirvy @castlesmadeof-purplehaze @futuristicperfectiontree @samrobac @iloveclonehigh @hairy-dykes-r-us @judec4ptor @persistentplums @youdonelostyourmind

[weaver-z]

One of my favorite underrated Futurama bits is when the group is careening toward a cliff in a normal van and Leela is like "Oh no!! We're heading toward a hover-bridge in a non-hovercar! Is that bad??" and Zoidberg says "Not if you've lived a life without regret." and everyone in the car just lets out a loud, sustained scream

[radioactive-earthshine]

Just found your blog, love the way you talk about Bart Allen (plus konbart lol)

I got some questions if that’s ok?

1: what’s some of your favorite facts about Bart Allen?

2: what’s some of your favorite headcanons of Bart Allen?

3: what voice do you hear for Bart every time you read his speech bubbles?

4: do you have your own universe/Earth?

Hi! I love seeing you in my notifications! I hope you're enjoying your time here.

1: what’s some of your favorite facts about Bart Allen?

I can only do a few of these otherwise I won't stop talking.

He has a lot of zeal for life and curiosity.

He's always willing to give almost anything a try when it comes to his media which ranges from liking shows like Patty Duke to R Rated movies like Pulp Fiction.

His creator Mark Waid didn't intend to write him so well as an autistic character, in fact he had never even heard of the term until many years after he stopped writing for him, but since he's become more familiar with autism he supports people seeing Bart as autistic. Will he canonize this? Doubtful but you never know.

Bart really is the most teenager character ever - he's not immature for his age he's literally a teenager. It's not his fault all other teen characters are held to so high a standard.

He is without shame or bias.

2: what’s some of your favorite headcanons of Bart Allen?

He uses video games to SLOW DOWN and calibrate his own speed. No matter how fast you push a button, a video game can only go so fast - he cannot make the video game go faster so he has to slow down to play them.

He's a White Flash and a very special type of speedster.

Because he was born in an interstellar mixed society, it is very unlikely that he genetically 100% human. It is very likely that the Thawnes in their long history on Earth had interspecies reproduced with one of the many, many aliens humanity had formed a relationship with. This could explain why his eyes are yellow but that could just be the Speed Force.

I personally think he might have a little bit of Cargite in him because of his ability and ease to create Speed Force duplicates. He might not be able to duplicate himself at all biologically, but the Speed Force clones come naturally to him. (This will only make sense to LoSH fans).

He's demiromantic, pansexual. He's not going to be interested in ANYONE until they know his own personal lore and he makes a significant connection with them - meanwhile he will walk down any street just so long as the view is nice.

He has future education and knowledge that clashes a lot with the education he had to choke down in the 20th century - particularly when it comes to sex education as he is from a future with genders we cannot begin to conceptualize across multiple species as (once again) his birth time is a mixed society.

Wally was mildly annoyed and overjoyed when he tried to give Bart "the talk" as his cousin closest to his age (Max REFUSED) only to have Bart give him a very perplexed look because he already knew everything he needed to know, and more than him anyway. Does Wally know about Xudarian "estrus" cycles? No, no he does not. Does this information help Bart? In this time, not really. But he knows it.

3: what voice do you hear for Bart every time you read his speech bubbles?

You know, Jason Marsden really was the perfect cast. Otherwise I just hear my own voice in a lower pitch (people tell me I sound like Leela from Futurama but idk).

4: do you have your own universe/Earth?

I feel like it is very hard for a fan of comics to not have their own little personal canon and world that they like to dream on. Sometimes it is made of of multiple details across media or sometimes a collection of canon or omissions of details - and I am no different really.

I have a lot of AUs in combination with my own little personal canon (Bart never became The Flash, and if he did he wasn't aged up he was just 16, fuck that BS).

Right now the two main AUs that are picking my brain the most right now are the Runaway AU where Wally tried to take Bart in and Bart ran away, and the Black Zero continuity that is canon but we don't have any information on Bart.

Bart does not survive that one sadly and BZ is very upset. We all need one fucked up story, it's antiseptic.

Oh, I also did my own little AU in my fic Sunshine. Falling. but it was more for Fira than anything that is a mix of details they personally love a lot and so do I to an extent. My tastes have shifted a bit since I published it but it's still a fine world I think. If I rewrote it today though it would be quite different.

Thank you so much for the questions! It was a joy to ramble about this speedy boy.

GUIDE TO THE GHOULS: NAMES, ELEMENTS, VCs AND MORE

i've been meaning to make a post like this since the beginning of the blog but i put it off so long because i was terribly uncertain of myself lol.

but now that i am not, i am finally pushing myself to make this. it's also pertinent for this blog because a lot of the ghouls (particularly era I/II) are, like. completely disregarded, so i gotta make up my own shit for them.

OMEGA: Eras I-III, the one literally everyone knows and loves. Sweetie-pie. Voice claim: Snufkin, Moomin Valley

AETHER: Eras III-V, a little self-centered but silly about it so it's okay. Generally also sweet. Voice claim: Dan Avidan

PHANTOM: Era V, clumsy, foolish, VERY self-centered but also still silly about it so he, too, gets a pass. Voice claim: Joxer the Mighty, Xena: Warrior Princess

AIR GHOULS

STRATOSPHERE/ZETA: Eras I-III, very stiff, very proper, does things his way or the highway. Voice claim: TBD...

[kibblemode]

I know like nothing about any of ur ocs or works so, could you sum up telling me about whichever you want so I can ask more questions in person? Please feel free to make the ask as long as possible!

stares autistically...YAYU..galaxy quest is my Main ocverse bc its almost 11 yrs old now and its just been a default in my mind since i was 11-12ish but capitalist creepshow is a close 2nd with how fleshed out it is...my oc carrd has some good info character wise but its lacking on worldbuilding + plot stuff bc im insanely character focused and suck at that shit badly LOL, also the plot/episode page and number of seasons on gq's page is outdated bc i recently like completely redid the plot and havent updated it yet 😭 anyway u can have existing gq lore. sorry if this is weirdly worded and hard to understand im at work rn 😢 i also have a couple scattered tumblr posts on random important bits of lore/character stuff ill get them later. oh ya and toyhouse if u want to see whos who or whatever. a couple side characters havent been redesigned yet but ill get there eventually lol

gq is like. a 90s-2000s CN styled adult cartoon (i always sum it up as if futurama and chowder were 1 cartoon. BIG BIG influences from chowder especially with the voice acting my goddd )..its Planned to have 5 seasons, it used to be 4 but with the new plot i had to add one to fit it in without Completely starting over on every single season lol, also perhaps 1 semi canon movie and a small side series for a bunch of silly mostly canon fillers i couldnt fit into the show itself.

so like i said im bad at having a consistent plot, also words are hard for me so ur getting a Very shitty bastardized version of what i Do have.

Basically it takes place mostly on 2 planets, earth and alkaliba(i hate this name i made it up when i was like 15ish, i just cant think of something better rn😔) its initially in 2009, but actually this is like a Different 2009. bc basically there was a mass extinction like several hundred million years ago and everything just kinda started over but like only Slightly different (sounds stupid af out loud but just trust me ok) alkaliba had existed for a Very long time the next galaxy over and it just so happens that the planet is dying and all their natural resources are fucked. so melody (lenarrs mom) set up an agreement with alkaliba that they could borror resources from earth. (melody is thousands of years old, but thats a secret lol) also melody was from another dimension Also a very powerful sorcerer and kept most of her spells and whatnot in her journal But its written in her native dimensions language which nobody on earth (except lenarr) can read. anyway she used her magic to connect the 2 planets using a series of portals called stargates (again. subject to change, also they connect to a Lot of other planets besides just earth but whatever) that allowed ppl to easily travel between the 2. bc of this alkaliba Kinda "colonized" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD) earth? and that was normal for a few thousand years.

anyway for s1 jump ahead to where canon starts (2009) tix is sent to earth by meredith (queen of alkaliba, tix is her son but u dont know that until later in s1 when they actually Go to alkaliba) to pretty much track lenarr down and convince him to use his powers he inherented from melody (lenarr is not aware of this at all) to pretty much save alkaliba (BIG SPOILER. THIS IS SOMEWHAT DISHONEST. sure lenarr could Choose to save alkaliba but that would result in the destruction of earth or it could be vice versa. it cant be both BUT youll see) so he find lenarr Completely by coincidence after lenarr offers to help him bc tix has never seen snow or ice in his life and is having Difficulty. anyway this is ridiculous that i havent figured this out after 10+ years but tix does Something to convince lenarr to go with him, bc obviously lenarr would be very hesitant to. a bunch of shit happens u know the drill 1st episode shit to establish everything. i could type out a full episode 1 plot but i don't particularly want to rn😢

s2-3 is just mostly playing toys w my characters and tix teaching lenarr how to use his powers (s1 finale is when lenarr starts to Get it but u know) also s2 is noodles villain arc and s3 has eugene in it which is so fun bc i really really like noodle and eugene is funny. OH AND THE MAIN VILLAINS. hydro is the Main antagonist but he has 5 other idek what to call them. henchmen????? that either work for him (griff, dimentia, derric) Or are loyal to him bc he practically saved their life (grem and pixie, also dimentia a little? its complicated) and while Yes hydro IS a villain and he IS evil, hes actually just trying to save earth bc in his mind alkaliba is actually like the typical alien invasion thing u see in movies (not exactly whats happening but it Is possible u could see it that way) he just goes abt it in the weirdest most fucked up way possible. also BIG plotpoint worth mentioning, grem and tix were dating for at least 3000+ years before tix left him for his (now deceased) wife, which grem is Extremely bitter abt. so hes obviously loyal to hydro bc hydro helped him escape his abusive father BUT hes also doing it for himself to get back at tix. (important note tix Was the asshole in that situation 100%, grem is actually right to be upset a little but probably not That much) anyway once lenarr tix and zach(forgot to mention zach is tixs best friend who tix brings along bc hes smart and good at strategizing, also bc tix is GAYYYYYY) get to alkaliba finally it is literally impossible to conceal the fact that tix is a prince there. and bc lenarr doesnt know the Real reason why hes there he doesnt think much of it, in fact he finds it weird that tix wouldnt tell him that.

jumping allll the way to s4 when the Actual shit goes down. this is where shit gets less in depth bc its Extremely new..this is when lenarr learns that hes being used to basically doom earth, u know. his home planet. (considering having either hydro or grem tell him, not in a nice way either) obviously he gets really upset abt this, Especially bc its been at least a couple years since canon started and zach and tix are basically like family to him at this point. he probably runs off idk. i need to think abt it more bc i JUST made this up but im considering recycling an OLDD concept from like early highschool gq where lenarr gets to visit melody in her home dimension. also forgot to mention. melody and lenarrs older brother ruben both committed suicide when lenarr was younger. melody only did it to go back to her home dimension, but ruben did it bc he got rlly depressed after melody died ÷(

anyway lenarr gets to see melody, its very sweet ÷) he talks to her abt his problem abd she gives him some kinda cryptic advice bc Plot. this changes lenarr basically, at this point hes mastered melodys spellbook and Now he can create his own spells or whatever. SO. he comes up with a way to make it so NEITHER planet gets destroyed somehow. this works bc lenarr is actually like twice as powrful as melody at his full potential. after this the main villains would most likely have their redemption arcs somehow i havent thought up What exactly happens yet. and for s5 its basically just me wrapping things up and playing with my toys freely...theres still active plot happening thats very relevant to the story obviously but its a liiiiitle less high stakes and thats all i got in regards to the main plot bc if i sat here and typed a detailed explanation of my fun fillers id be here for years

SOME GENERAL TRIVIA FUN FACTS DEVELOPMENT SHIT 4 FUNSIES TOO.

originally gq was Not supposed to be a cartoon nor was it an ocverse. it was a fucking spm fan spinoff i made up bc i was autistic af and 12. grem was my first ever oc that was Not a fursona and he was actually terrible like as a person. i mean hes kinda terrible now but not as bad

griffs name was changed a few years after i made him. it used to be falcon (STUPID AF BUT I WAS 12. REMEMBER THIS.) also i thought itd be funny for his name to be griff bc youd think its short for griffon but no its short for grifford. also texs and tiabia names were changed too. tiabis name was janette and she was actually originally an adult but i thought itd be better if she was 7

like 99.999% of my original designs and concept art + silly little comics of my villains bc it was just them when it was still a mario thing is lost media forever bc my mom accidentally threw it all away when we moved to a new house i miss it every dayyyy id do Anything to see it again..... the Only original stuff i have is from highschool and i fucking hate my artstyle then so its sad af...its just lenarrs finalized design (which actually barely changed since then) and MAYBE if i looked hard enough thru my old computers i could find zachs original design too? idk i dont feel like looking

speaking of the spm thing. dimentia was supposed to be dimentios little sister which is why shes named that (original i know) but i decided to take the name a different direction after it became its own thing

grem went through the most design changes by a huge margin, but imo derrics few redesigns were the most insane and drastic. pixie went through One change and it got reversed a couple years later LOL

some Stupid reasons behind design changes were 1. hydro used to have 4 heads, hence the dumbass wordplay on "hydra" but i got so fucking fed up with drawing them every time + i kept forgetting to so i just made him a regular dragon. and 2. griff has his mask bc i literally just kept getting mad trying to draw his face right. thats literally it. thats the only reason.

fun fact noodle was probably my least favorite oc before i redesigned him. i hated him SO FUCKING MUCH especiallyafter i came up with his villain arc. now hes my favorite toy and i lovie

HUGE props to my bff @/killer12345blog. hes literally my cowriter and theres a couple characters of his in the main canon that play a HUGE part (eugene, daffodil, and louise) also eugene was actually a joke character and i HATED HIM (AS PART OF THE BIT) but i randomly got really attached to him now hes the villain for s3😇

gq was actually RECENTLY renamed. it used to be H.I.D.E. dont ask me what it means or what it stands for idfkkkkk i thought itd come to me eventually but it didnt so i changed it bc w/o a meaning it was just dumb af

tix was originally very very small. like around pixies size. also gq was still a video game for a bit but it was like its own Thing by then. tix was intended to be the tutorial character kinda like tippi

also im going to go ahead and say this LMAO. the original alkaliban designs were Heavily inspired by homestuck bc thats what i liked back then. ive tried soooo hard to make it not as obvious but i feel like itll always be so so obvious 😭

im actually kinda considering having gq be 3d animated instead of 2d, stylistically if that were the case itd look kinda like. idk. do u remember that moomins cartoon they made a few years ago. like that. but i seriously doubt ill end up making it 3d anyway

i fucking hate musicals usually but my GOD are there a couple showtunes i want in there. jfc. i have a dedicated yt playlist of songs i want in gq Or relate heavily to certain characters/events. hi. speaking of i like to think gq would have a very 80s cartoon soundtrack like the one in labyrinth or something similar

tix and zach were originally Much younger. tix was like 19 or 20 and zach was 17 iirc? i changed that bc 1. dumb and 2. i wanted tix and zach to be in love i didnt quite like the age gap it was a little iffy

the origin of lenarrs name is kinda silly. i was having trouble coming up w a fitting name and one day after school we drove past a sign for lennar homes or whatever the companys called and i went AHAAAAAAAH!☝️🤑

i think noodle was originally brazillian, idr why that changed..also tex was japanese iirc

tix is like Billions of years old probably. its intentionally left unclear and vague but also IDEFK.

im probably forgetting LOADS of important shit but whatever....u get the idea + ive been typing for like 2 hours in between work shit

[deadtiredghost]

Tmnt facts that are canon cause i said so:

All Leo's are sci-fi fans of varying degrees of old sci-fi series/movies

But MM!Leo thinks the old movies are old and thus has no major franchise to obsess over, he is just big into any of the more modern movies of the genre: I'm thinking Interstellar, Blade Runner, idk many more. And then he started watching Final Space and eventually got into Futurama.

But he still would think the other Leo's are old and a bit lame for enjoying old anime so much.

All the Donnie's and Leo's are the musical fans, but that doesn't mean that Raph and Mikey can't enjoy a musical too! Especially 2003!Raph who grew up watching shit like high school musical and teen beach movie with Leo and Donnie.

The 2003 boys all teamed up to sit on Mikey and tape Mikey's mouth shut cause he would dramatically and badly sing the songs otherwise.

2018 crew are hard into Hamilton of course while 2012 have a knock off version of it that flopped but Mikey loves.

2003 have a musical version of Lost Boys and Faries that could possibly be comparable with some rap songs and some emotional ballads.

Bayverse and MM have batman while 2018 have a weird mixture of some irl media and some really obvious knock offs. 2012 has Wingnut and Silber sentry as comics to replace Marvel and DC in their universe and we all know how 2003 is on superheroes.

All the Mikey's are naturally talented at drawing apart from 2012 who's skills apparently just got transferred to literally every single one of his siblings.

2012!Mikey's writing looks like chickenscratch and his drawings are chaotic in an abstract art kinda way, while 12!Leo can draw anime, 12!Karai is decent at drawing anything reallt, 12!Donnie preffers skatching items and backgrounds rather than people and 12!Raph is the one who does art the most in the fam.

The 1987 turtles are stuck in 1987 and have been since 1987. They like crossovers for the change of pace but 87!Raph and 87!Donnie very much dislike how other turtles have treated them in the past so take any and ever chance to fuck with their alternates in retaliation, feigning innocence well enough that they keep getting away with blatantly insulting their iterations to their face.

Leo is the tea drinker in the family across iterations but most of the iterations don't drink coffee - rottmnt gets into coffee wars (sans Leo and Splinter) but other than that 2007!Donnie and Bayverse!Raph are the only rabid coffee drinkers.

most of the Donnies drink energy drinks if they want a caffeine boost - the nonbinaries and their Monster especially.

The MM kids aren't allowed coffee because Splinter read a watched of child-raising YouTube videos and banned it. Of course that doesn't stop them from sneaking out. MM!Donnie is trying to convince him to allow coffee while MM!Raph just sneaks in his energy drinks.

2003!Casey was convinced the turtles were adults for at LEAST the first month into their friendship.

The ampunt Mikey wears stickers is directly proportional to the amount of leeway Splinter gives him - with the used-to-be-human Splinters being more strict on not personalising his weapon while the used-to-be-rat Splinters such as MM gives the go ahead.

The outlines of this rule are 03!Splinter and 18!Splinter of course who have entirely different ways of handling their adhd child.

And then there is bayverse!Splinter who said fuck the stickers, yes of course my 15-year-old children can have tattoos.

(And yes I firmly believe they were 15 in the first movie, and I attribute their tattoos to Splinter not really seeing the harm in it, or caring much as long as it won't hurt them.)

18!Leo is biologically the eldest but no one knows this apart from Draxum who will never tell at this point. Splinter aged them based on size.

On the other hand, 03!Leo is the biological youngest but only Donnie knows this (science shit to find it out) and will never tell anyone because he found out that 03!Mikey hatched first and that information can never be allowed to get to the turtle in question.

2012 Casey is transfem but doesn't know it yet and 2018 Casey is what 12!Casey will look like at 20.

All Donnie's watch anime and all Mikey's watch horror movies - despite how much they may or may not scream at the horror movies.

07!Mikey sells art online and 07!Leo becomes a language tutor in their 20's. Ironic as 12!Raph attempts to sell art online but becomes too emotionally attached to his work and 12!Donnie attempts to tutor for a time but is a terrible teacher.

Leo is a basketball or baseball fan, Raph likes wrestling and basketball, Donnie will partake in basketball or volleyball and Mikey prefers dancing but is open to playing anything... just not watching.

Splinter always watched the tennis, becuase his grandmother did. Leo likes to put it on but doesn't like playing it.

Mikey will forever be confused why the others enjoy watching sport. This stemms from when he was 12 and trying to watch his cartoons and Splinter would always take control of the TV during the Olympics. Mikey is still very salty and has an agenda against the Olympics and any other big sports match on their communal TV.

All the Leo's before 2012 just didnt use the Internet or any electronics as a kid and thus struggles with electronics massively.

Conversely 2012 and 2018 Leo were both on tumblr as kids and read fanfic about Space Heros and Jupiter Jim respectively.

And in addition: Donnie was on the Internet far too much as a kid.

(12!Donnie will never tell but 12!Mikey befriending Chris Bradford on Facebook hit a bit too close to home.)

After Don, Raph is the best at mechanics, other than 18!Raph who is kinda shit at them.

Splinter taught all of the turtles first aid but Raph and Mikey are patched up the most by the other two, which leads to the other two being more confident and skilled at first aid.

Leo's first aid experience is very much similar to an army medic, using improvisation based on his prior knowledge without any of the proper hospital procedure while Donnie's is much more based on his research into medicine and thus much more clinical.

The outliers are the 18!kids cause Donnie finds biological shit kinda disgusting unless he HAS to do it.

And then there is the 87!turtles who don't really get hurt for longer than an episode's run time. Despite this every single one of them are able to accurately and skillfully carry out any medical procedure should the need arise becuase cartoon logic and convenience. It is a skill they have and its usually 87!Donnie ordering them about while 87!Raph plays nurse.

Mikey and Raph spray paint together sometimes in all iterations other than 87.

87!Mikey and 87!Leo have never kmowingly committed a crime.

Mikey looks up to Leo most out of his siblings, and Leo would look up to Mikey in turn if he could get over the jealousy towards his youngest brother.

There is not a single itteration where Leo doesn't sometimes kinda wish he could be more like Mikey - he has never voiced these feelings and hates that he feels this jealousy.

If you wake Leo up from sleeping he will be alert, a bit grumpy about it, but will never turn you away. He rarely gets a full good night's sleep anyways, ans becuase of this he is prime target to bother when he is awake... up until they turn 14 where Leo gets into the habit of pretending to be asleep so Mikey doesn't bother him and starts meditating until he falls asleep.

The prior headcannon excludes rottmnt and mutant mayhem.

Mikey starts bothering Donnie more and joins him in the lab late at night a lot.

If you dare to disturb Raph's beauty sleep you will get a pillow to the face and a shouting to at the least.

Everyone of the turtles loves Kung Fu Panda or whatever similar movie exists in their world. They won't admit it but its because Poe reminds them of Mikey.

Raph maintains that he doesn't like physical contact much to get out of hugging the sweaty humans in his life. He is actually fairly chill with hugs he just hates the feeling of sweat on his scales so much, and learnt that the hard way when Casey brought him in for a hug after a fight and he shoved him off and blustered a bit. But any of his siblings hugging him is fine, he only ever shoves them off out of annoyance.

Donnie is the least huggy turtle, but he will sometimes lean his full body weight on April - which is fine in most iterations but some cannot handle the weight, I'm looking at Bayverse.

If Mikey were a human he would be a borderline nudist when home and everyone who lived with him would complain about it.

Like [insert hair covering here] and a fluffy dressing gown from when he was 9 wrapped around the waist if you're lucky.

Hello, I don't usually ask questions on social networks, but I wanted to know what you think of a story where our human friend suffers an accident aboard the lost light in the Brainstrom laboratory and now the bots are able to see his thoughts. Bonus points if it's weird stuff (most of our minds are very weird), (sorry if something is poorly translated, I'm writing this with the translator) ^^)

One, I absolutely adore this concept.

Two, did you know there are people that think in pictures rather than use an internal voice?

And to top it off, people go around referencing pop culture, iconic scenes, memes, and their favorite media as well as the weird, intrusive thoughts and extreme, nonsensical daydreams...

I like to think there would be a media war between the Cybertronians that never went to Earth and only know beloved cartoons and shows and memes from the weird reenactment from the resident human's mind but with the Lost Light crew getting morphed into it versus the Cybertronians that actually had direct experience and personally downloaded those shows and movies.

As the "I Ship It" song goes, canon ground versus crack ship space.

Does anyone else remember those Naruto animation videos where the Akatsuki are drawn drunk or doing hilarious dances? The human looked up the Decepticon Justice Division, cross referenced on what they do, and immediately thought of a full sequence of the D.J.D. doing the Gang Torture Dance from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

The human thinks of sequences, including but not limited to:

Ultra Magnus as Steve Harvey from Family Feud with Rodimus with the "Nekkid Grandma!" bit

Rodimus doing "Goofy Goober Rock" because Roddy would love to be suspended in the air and dressed in wizard swag with a killer rip on a peanut-themed guitar. Drift has the legs to fulfill Patrick's fishnet-and-heels dance.

Megatron and Ratchet in The Office because he would stare deep into the camera at whatever new trouble has plagued the ship

Getaway and Rodimus doing the "Tony and Ezekiel" bit

So many fire-related memes: Elmo and the "This is fine." Dog.

The overlap of Rodimus in Gurren Lagen and Bang Brave Bang Bravern

The continuously weirder and weirder thoughts on how Cybertronian strip club would look like based on Futurama, Cyberpunk, and Night runner's Magnum Bullets. "Snu-snu" bit included. It's both highly ridiculous, strangely erotic, and absolutely terrifying at the same time to the Lost Light crew.

Whenever a mech does something stupid, the human immediately reimagines the mech in Wheel of Fortune fails, or a shoving potatoes in the exhaust

Nightbeat in a noir setting or as Sherlock Holmes

Rung is "Mister Cellophane" from Chicago

Assigned character theme songs

The last bullet causes so much drama because mechs want to have really cool or badass themes, but no! The human assigns them sex or porn songs like "Life is a Highway" and "Shut Up and Drive" and "Two Trucks," or something silly like "Barbie Girl" or the opening theme to Mega XLR or the sad song on the world's smallest violin to the poor bastard that gets stuck with the engex bill at the end of the night.

Arcana Modern!Au Karaoke with Lucio, Nadia, Julian, and Asra

This is a continuation of my earlier post

https://www.tumblr.com/djpiss/771492401611210752/my-modern-arcana-headcannons-because-no-one-can?source=share

I got inspired with the idea of the gang doing a karaoke night that I made a new drabble! Enjoy < 3

-Nadia and Julian bonded over karaoke when they first met, in fact they occasionally had double dates with Lucio and Asra at a local karaoke bar.

-Lucio HATED those dates since he knows he has a bad singing voice and someone ELSE is being paid attention to??? POSITIVE ATTENTION!??! HOW DARE THEY!! Sometimes he'd literally have to leave the bar and stand outside because it "was too noisy".

-Nadia took a BUNCH of music lessons growing up and has a GORGEOUS and professional alto singing voice, but she has to have a glass of wine and Julian's encouragement to sing.

-Depending on how drunk she is, she'll likely sing some Adele or Britney Spears and BELT that shit!! Nadia is such a perfectionist that she treats every karaoke performance like her audition for The Voice, sometimes she even warms up in the bathroom before she sings and then make friends with whatever piss drunk girl is also using the bathroom.

-(Nadia actually ended up being invited to a few weddings this way! She very tactfully avoids the question of how she met the bride.)

- It doesn’t hurt that Nadia is a very happy and social drunk, and has an embarrassingly low alcohol tolerance. She nurses a glass of wine and plenty of water throughout the evening and still gets drunk enough to be the drunk girl in the bathroom giving you a pep talk.

-Lucio *does* make fun of her for this, and it’s sometimes his clap back when she makes fun of him for his lack of spice tolerance.

-Julian is a showboat, and even though he isn't a belting kind of man like Nadia, that man has done enough community theater to be an expert at karaoke.

-I can see this drama king bust out a show tune or two, with choreography, of course. (Especially after a Salty Bitter or two!)

-When Lucio is done moping outside, he DOES attempt karaoke. That man is TONE DEAF but he does NOT care. (I personally headcannon that when he does karaoke its like that one episode of Futurama where Zapp Brannagan covers "Lola" so badly that everyone leaves the restaurant. )

-Lucio doesn't even like the Kinks, he just knows the lyrics to the song.

-Being one to be quiet and observe, Asra doesn't ever do karaoke, but they do tease Julian after he performs. They always jokingly ask him for his autograph or feign distress at the prospect of Julian "leaving them for someone else now that he's so famous"

-No one has ever laughed at this joke, ever. But just like any relationship, it requires a bit that you do with your S/O whether they like it or not.

-Julian then dramatically goes on about how the fame would never change him, and then pretends to leave.

favorite songs? least favorite movies? do you like comic books/manga? any kid cartoons you like/liked?

thank you for the ask omg.. ♡

my favorite song of all time has been hello kitty kat by the smashing pumpkins since 2023 i think. i only let myself listen to it a few times a month because i'm scared to overplay it lol.. another one that comes to mind is richard by bratmobile. it makes me think of richard ramirez but its also just a good song. way softer than any other bratmobile song i've heard but i like hearing allison wolfe sing that way its nice.. also carnival by bikini kill!!! i've played it 147 times just this week

LEAST favorite movies is really hard because i've liked most movies i've seen i think & if i don't then i usually forget it i think.. i didn't really like beetlejuice beetlejuice (the sequel). it was okay but i just didn't like it that much. sequels are often disappointing though. i saw like 3/4 of lolita & i didn't really like it.. dominique swain is amazing but i just didn't like it that much. & i watched buffalo 66 i think on my 16th birthday? & honestly i'm still formulating my opinion but i thought it was a bit boring at parts & not in an artistic way as i think was intended but just.. boring. sometimes. & it felt like vincent gallo was projecting a fantasy at points lol. didn't like the mean girls musical movie & mean girls 2 (2011) is HORRENDOUS

i like comic books but i don't have very many. i have a handful of graphic novels. i don't want to say i have a big manga collection because i've seen those people with like 5 bookshelves of manga but i do have quite a bit i think. i've liked it since probably 6th or 7th grade? when i was a kid i really like japanese stuff so i was already into japanese games & anime but it took a bit longer for me to get into manga. my favorite is probably nana, sailor moon & anything junji ito did.. i have a few from the early 2000s or 2010s that i rarely see or have never seen people talk about so i'm proud of that i think.

i like my little pony fim / g4.. i liked spongebob as a kid. definitely not a kids cartoon but when i was a baby my mom said i loved futurama but she stopped letting me watch it when i was a toddler because she didn't want me to repeat anything from it like sexual or something.. i watched it last year i think & i LOVE it. also my cousin & i loved teen titans go & i didn't watch it as much but i liked powerpuff girls too. & this one care bears cartoon on netflix that i haven't been able to find since.. probably more that i'm forgetting

god help me my sister was trying to drop in a little bit of soft launching my transgenderism to my parents earlier saying stuff like "yeah and what if ice was a boy? huh? huh?" which was so sweet and kind and it was relevant because my mom was complaining about how i never wore skirts or dresses willingly as a child and how i would kick her and scream when she tried to put bows and headbands in my hair (the headbands thing is a Huge contention between her and i because i would. break them) and anyway i was completely not paying attention and was instead showing her what it would look like if i was a galapagos tortoise who won the suite life on deck danimals sweepstake except futurama slurm style where i choked on a bottlecap and my mom just went "...sure looks like one" which is a late contender but coming in strong for accidental ally moment of the year
