Here, a fan comic of tmnt I never finished and gave up on 😌

You can totally tell I suck at art, I didn’t just wanna leave all this effort behind tho… so here you go, my cringe fanart 😘😘😘

So I had this idea for the 2012 tmnt apocalypse au, like summing up how they all got to where they were in the movie. I wanted it to be mainly Mikey and Leo centric (mainly Mikey), because they didn’t get much backstory (or at least a strong one) in the movie, and I wanted to add more depth on how Mikey loses his mind over the apocalyptic years. It wasn’t planned to be JUST Leo and Mikey, i was definitely gonna add some Raph and Donnie in there as well, just to satisfy my urge to traumatized the brothers some more lmao.

Quick sum up of the original idea bc it’s super cringe: the story begins with Mikey and how he got out of the city, he meets some people and escapes with them, along the way he makes a map with some spare paper supply as the group searches for an oasis, he makes a friend along the way but they end up dying and that’s how he gets his poncho (it belongs to the dead person). Eventually it leads to a small montage of Mikey leaving the group and his mental health just declining from there, he starts to hallucinate and the loneliness of not having his brothers there takes a tole on him. After some time Mikey stumbles upon the oasis, finishing his map he spends a nice time in the water and enjoying the greenery, but after some time he doesn’t want to be alone and he sets out to go find his brothers, knowing they’re not dead. He stumbles upon a small clan and entrusts his odd map with them, and him being the sparkle sunshine guy he is, his map is unreadable. Mikey continues on this journey, with constant doubts at the back of his mind that his brothers are dead, this eventually leads to even more of a mental decline and he gets more traumatic flashbacks as he continues. He soon starts to hallucinate after fighting with himself that his brothers are not dead, and starts to make fake items to represent each brother, talking to icecream kitty and chompy along with his new hallucination brothers he finally finds the pizza place. This is where his story ends (I had planned it to be him seeing the pizza place and a childish smile appears on his face, it making him look absolutely insane and he walks towards the pizza place and the comic panel fades out).

Leo I didn’t plan much, his was a lot more of a short story beginning ing with a few terrifying panels of him just withering in pain and losing himself to the mutation. This would then lead on to more of a silent comic with no talking and Leo just wandering and slowly becoming this beast.

Raph and Donnie’s little mini comic was just supposed to show how Donnie became a robot and how the 2 bond as they set sail across the now barren world, searching for an oasis, completely believing their brothers are dead.

Pg: 1 (1.5) - 5

Oh btw page 1.2 looks different because that’s my more recent art style, it’s there bc I needed to add more context, I’m not good at making comics so forgive me if it’s confusing..

Yeah so that’s my cringey tmnt fan comic bc I can ❤️

I don’t own tmnt

You came up on my recommended feed at the perfect time bc I have Artem brainrot rn AND YOUR ANALYZATION OF ARTEM’S CARDS ARE FANTASTIC! I’m one of the few players that avoids most CN server spoilers, and I’ve been abstaining from pulling most cards so I can pull for 3rd anni(which now I’m kinda questioning if I should LOL), so I missed out on a TON of content for all of the male leads. BUT, from the very few cards I had pulled this past yr, I did notice an odd shift in Artem’s personality. Although, I wasn’t too sure if it was just me being dumb or if it was a real thing that was happening. And after reading some of your posts I kinda want to re-read Artem’s Second Anni Card again bc I was so excited for the artwork from that event, that I didn’t pay much attention to the story LOL However, now that I’ve seen what you’ve said and what many other Artem fans have said, I’m sure my feelings weren’t wrong. And now I’m sad 😢

Artem was my favorite bc his relationship with Rosa felt the healthiest and was built on respecting each other’s boundaries, learning how to set boundaries, and working as a team, while also having a more traditional framework of a male leadership role(which I’m extremely fond of). Artem never restricted Rosa from spreading her wings as his work partner or as his life partner, he simply asked if he could come along beside her where ever she wanted to go. AND LIKE HIS ORIGINAL PERSONAL STORY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS BEHAVIOR! Rosa makes a reckless decision to go get evidence, without Artem, for a the domestic violence case they were working on and almost gets hurt in the process. After that, Artem scolds Rosa for being reckless and for not taking better care of herself. And Rosa doesn’t take it lying down either! They equally argue and get their grievances out in the open, feel bad about later, and apologize. (THE COMMUNICATION IS SO REAL 😩) FURTHERMORE! This incident leads them to learning and understanding how differently they work as lawyers. Artem learns that Rosa is a lot more personal with her clients and handles her cases with an empathetic approach, while he works more pragmatically, so through this case they learn to work to each other’s strengths as partners, covering for what the other person lacks. And the chapters this incident took place in solidified my growing love for Artem bc unlike Luke or Vyn(I’m not sure about Marius bc admittedly I haven’t read his original personal story 😅), Artem doesn’t hinder Rosa by being overprotective like Luke or push her beyond her capacities like Vyn tried to do in his original personal story. Artem allows a natural course of growth to occur in Rosa, while being a hedge of protection for Rosa BUT ONLY when she seems to REALLY need it, and the same can be said for Rosa towards Artem.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, sorry for ranting 😅

WAHHH YOU'RE TOO KIND!! ;_; thank you so much for the sweet words, it really means a lot!!! i'm so so happy you enjoyed my ranting and raving, honestly having a community of super awesome people to talk about this with has been such a comfort and ive made some awesome friends from my time here, even if we don't chat as much anymore!

and omg, do NOT ever feel bad for ranting in my inbox!!!! i've been ranting about tot in the main tag for two years at this point and i will Always be thrilled to read delightfully written meta such as yours!!!!!

i have to say, i entirely agree with all of this. and i mean ALL OF IT. his personal stories 2, 3, and 4 are my absolute favorites of his and gosh that's like. prime artem to me, i think. your ask reminded me of some meta i read such a long while ago about his second personal story (link can be found here, it's SUCH a good read)

i think a huge issue is that artem originally always felt like the antithesis to your typical daddy dom boss character. when you start playing tot, appearances wise, he looks and even comes across as one. but these initial appearances are quickly shattered.

he is absolutely inexperienced with interpersonal relationships. he fumbles the bag CONSTANTLY with rosa. he's terrible at holding conversation, he's constantly apologizing for being boring. he needs his own fucking boss to wingman (haha. wing) for him. he blushes if mc looks at him the wrong way. he's kinda strange. but he's earnest and genuine. he respects rosa's boundaries. he makes mistakes, but learns from them. he gives rosa time to think over her feelings for him so she can still say no to him if she changes her mind.

it's the contrast between this and his initial appearance that makes him interesting. what is extremely bizarre with artem's recent writing is it feels like someone who only read artem's introduction scene got some vague pointers and was like oh. your typical daddy dom boss guy. okay yeah i can write this. and then they did. which . defeats the whole entire point of what made artem compelling in the first place. he was compelling BECAUSE he subverted this trope. by just making him play the trope straight, you remove any and all intrigue from his character.

by not building off of older cards, you abandon all of the plot lines he had set up. they undid any angst in his stories. they dropped his issues with his parents. they downplayed neils impact on his life. he doesn't even grieve for him anymore. he doesnt even think about him most of the time. what happened to entwined fate? praying for neil's safety? what about neil being his father figure? neil potentially betraying the nxx? are we just going to ignore that now so we can watch artem be an insane freak who just apparently woke up with the skills of a sex god, forgot all of the lessons he learned, and doesnt care about consent anymore?

god, now IM ranting.... regardless. youre so right. i hear artem's newest cards are good so im praying those rumors are true : ((

EDIT: SORRY I MEANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS THIRD ANNIVERSARY CARD!!! it's not as bad as his second anniversary card. i know the bar is in hell but it's something. it's pretty contrived in the grand scheme of things (like why are they moving into a house...?) and has some weird moments, but is ultimately not as bad as it could have been in the slightest. i'd say its biggest crime is being boring as sin. holy fuck. i put that shit on 2x speed and i still found myself wanting to fast forward. like nothing happens at all???? it's so bizarre HAHA

Get to Know Me - Sims Edition

I was tagged by @happy-lemon Thank you very much this was a lot of fun :D

What’s your favorite Sims death?

- There was this one time I had a sim stargazing and completely out of a blue, a freaking meteor fell on them. I think this was TS2 but it was so random and honestly kinda hilarious so it’s my fave

Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?

- For TS2, I am a maxis match kinda gal. For TS3, I love alpha CC a bunch but clothing-wise, I like a mixture of the two. For TS4, it’s more a maxis mix but leaning heavily towards the maxis match. I guess I’m very open-minded to it all

Do you cheat your sims weight?

- Hecks nah

Do you move objects?

- All the time ALL THE TIME

Favorite Mod?

- Da pose player. Grateful 4 u everyday 

First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?

- The Sim’s 2 Castaways. Mucho fun, I think I’ve played the campaign a solid 20-30 times

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing

- NO WAIT this is news to me I literally am just like live mode I didn’t know that there was like an actual phrase

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

- AHHHH ah this is so hard but I have to pick to OK hear me out but Frances and Atlas are near and dear to my heart. It’s funny because they were apart of a RP but they’ve been around since 2015 (y’all wanna see a pic? it’s so bad). I feel like there’s just a lot of history there and it’s so cool to see an idea just flourish from there and they just kinda stick with you for a good while. I also love Icarus and Taryn to death but like the deep and endearing kinda love has to go to Frances and Atlas

Have you made a simself?

- yis

Which is your favorite EA hair color?

- I like black hair a whole bunch 

Favorite EA hair?

- The short, choppy hair from Cottage Living or even the pixie from Get to Work! I love short hair

Favorite life stage?

- Teen! Especially in TS2, I feel like because of the extensive world building and all of the drama, it just makes it super enjoyable!

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

- Gameplay! I do like to decorate, but I’m not much of a builder

Are you a CC creator?

- I know how to make poses and some recolors but that’s just about it ;3; I also know how to skinblend in TS3 B) Sorta B)

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?

- No, there’s one person I still keep in touch with back when I was more active in the community but she no longer has a simblr. I would however like to branch out when I idk learn how to talk to ppl 💀

Do you have any sims merch?

- HAH no

Do you have a YouTube for sims?

- HAHAHAH hah that’s literally how I got into posting the sims. I uploaded three seasons of a sim story as well as some machinimas ;___; I took it down tho because while I was very proud of doing something from start to finish, it is a lil cheesy

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?

- I feel like in the very beginning, it was very minimal. Like I did not know how to push my game. Now I feel like it’s a lot more authentic to me. I’m not gonna lie, I have a lot of fun prepping any posts, I feel like I don’t have to think as much. It also helps that there’s an arsenal of really sick CC at my disposal

What’s your origin id?

- Elderwisp :)

Who’s your favorite CC creator?

- I really like sunivva hairs or everything by sforzcc for TS4. Pralinesims is carrying the whole accessories and makeup team for both games. For TS3, rollo-rolls or even pocci and milla. ATS3/4 is really awesome too omg ok I’ll stop

How long have you had simblr?

- I’ve had this blog for six years but I had a blog prior to this since freshman year of high school (maybe earlier) but I deleted it because this person I knew, found out about it and started like pressuring me to show others and I was so freaking uncomfy 💀 Dawg she forced me to make her a simself ANYWAYS so prolly like ten years

How do you edit your pictures?

- It’s kinda simple, especially now that I have been learning how to utilize reshade. However, I like to add texture to my photos, maybe a transparent film border. I also like to add in shadows and highlights. Sometimes I’ll add soft/hard light or linear/color dodge. After that, I mess with the curves or exposure of a picture before finally sharpening and exporting the photo

I am now realizing this is a lot 😂

What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?

- SIMS. 3. LATE. NIGHT. Bridgeport is EVERYTHING I love city worlds! 

I'm tagging @raiiny-bay @pleaseputnamehere @percosim​ and honestly anyone else my brain hurt

Thank you! There is a way to mute words in posts so the way you did kinda works out, but I meant tagging just like you add tags to posts like "my art" "(character name)" etc etc.! You can as well just writte in the post like "no home chapter 549430 spoilers" and put the review/comments under read more? Well, it's up to you how you do it. And if you want to post just in korean to make it easier to you that's fine as well, I really don't want bother you with it, but personally I do enjoy reading your thoughts about no home!!!! Specially since the international fandom is kinda small, so I'm always happy seeing more reactions and comments. It's just that sadly I don't speak korean, so I have to wait for the english fan translation (that is VERY fast btw!!! it just that until the earlier access paid chapters are avaliable for free they don't release it), so until I can read the chapter I want avoid the spoilers, but I would love read what you said about it once I catched up, you know? I followed you for your amazing art, but I really enjoy seeing the texts post as well :D

OHHH OKAY TY TY I WILL MAKE SURE TO DO THIS NOW :3❤️❤️🫶Oh yess the Eng translation is very good I always give it to my friends to read heheh it’s just very slightly behind yess that’s awesome I’ll definitely make sure to add the chapter number in that case for back reading purposes omg I’m learning how to use tumblr so much now omg. Tysm for the ask!! 🥹❤️❤️🫶

[oysters-aint-for-me]

Hello there! thank you for responding to my excited tags. I'm glad to know that you're open to talk about the book. There is a lot of potential for spoilers in the Becky Chambers tag, so be aware of that if you look through it.

my favourite about the series is that rereading the books is very rewarding. I've found more details even on the seventh reread, and enjoy the connections to the other books very much.

What is important to know before starting the next books is that apart from one character each the other characters in the books are all new. Pepper is in books 1 and 2, books 2 and 3 don't have any characters in common. Ashby is mentioned in book 3, while his sister Tessa is a main character in book 3. Pei from book 1 reappears in book 4 and Ashby is mentioned again. so while they share the same galaxy, we get a new set of characters and places each time. Lots of people are sad that we don't get more about the Wayfarer crew, so if you don't know in advance that the further books are about other people, you might be disappointed.

There is a short story about the Sianat woman we meet when Ashby and Kizzy go down to their planet. It is part of a short story collection called "Infinite Stars - Dark frontiers" and I liked the story very much. Should you want to read it but not buy the entire book, I'd be open to scan the pages for you.

Have fun!

SEVEN REREADS?! omg that’s awesome that you can get that many out of it! im on book 2 now and have started rereading the first one by listening on audiotape and i’m already like OOOH that was FORESHADOWING and OOOH i get why that’s called that now! like for a very long time i had no idea why they called it “sib” or “the stasie” but now i get it! i really love how immersive the books are though, that it doesn’t necessarily explain every little thing to the reader, you just are kind of thrown in and you learn what something is if the characters need to learn something but otherwise it’s like you’re just thrown into this world and for some reason that makes it feel more real??

and yeah, i see what you’re saying about missing the wayfarer crew - i also wish i got to spend more time with them (esp. jenks and sissix and kizzy and dr. chef!) but i do think it’s cool to get other perspectives of different characters in this universe. i feel like maybe there might be some fanfic out there that could soothe the ache of missing the wayfarer crew but i haven’t looked into it much for fear of spoilers.

i would love to read that short story! i’ll have to find the book. (thank you for offering to scan but i don’t mind buying it, lol, i collect books and i’m just owning that now)

have you read “to be taught if fortunate”? it’s like a novella that is also sort of part of the wayfarer series - i don’t remember what it is supposed to be about, but i ordered it along with the other three.

(also sorry for not responding to this for a while - i am so bad at noticing when i get messages in my inbox because i have had my asks closed for like the last two years! 💜 i was very excited to see this message when i did check tho so thank you!)

[rosheendubh]

just as point in fact…no one ever paired Tywin Lannister and dad-bod in the same sentence…

—Just sayin’…a mid-60s/maybe early 70s, lean, mean, ruthless, pragmatic, cunning, disciplined, battle-machine. He walked into that throne room when Cersei was about to kill herself, and her son, with more presence than Filoni’s rendition of Thrawn (no fault to Lars, but he was both not well cast, and not well directed) could to an entire ISD hanger’s worth of Fart-Gas Zombies held together by red duct tape chanting his name…which is also quite out of character, whether from Legends/canon EU books. Thrawn’s characterization with Zahn is many things, but excessive displays of aggrandizing isn’t one of them (cue: the apologetics for “but 10 years in Exile”)…it also doesn’t help that none of the actors look like they’re taking their lines seriously (and with the over-long, melodramatic pauses, long-range 10000 yard stares, and ChatGPT level dialogue, who can blame them?—no honestly, I’ve seen ChatGPT dialogue that sounded exactly like that exchange between Sabine and Ahsoka on the ship, with her training…down to the actual tags/and descriptors), and move through the space around them so stiff and hesitant, you can tell no time was taken to smooth out scenes largely cast on green-screen between the production team, and the actors. Which is why, even the action bits appear awkward, and without much dynamism.

—To each their own, but this portrayal of such a pivotal character is definitely Filoni’s (horridly, but only IMHO) misconstruction. —and as for Ezra and Sabine’s reunion…*wah-wah-wah*—whaaaa??? Anyone recall Sansa and Jon Snow’s embrace after ALL THE ABSOLUTE SHITE they’ve survived over the years? I will still rewatch that moment—ya’ll should too. It’s very cathartic compared to Gazoo-moment everyone was rewarded with, between Ezra (“Hey, Girl, Waz’Up-Word”)-lost-boy-for-a-decade-SpaceAladdin, and Sabine (I’m supposed to be in my late 20s/30?-with the emotional maturity of a teen who just lost cell phone privileges-so flipping annoying-you wish Shin actually had gutted her and decapitated her…omg—how do people think she’s *sooo awesome*—and goes shrill on a Wolf-Horse for…reasons?? Oh, dramatic tension, she’s a very tortured and *fiery* warrior…I’m a woman, and a feminist, but this ain’t how ladies should be written…this is how fanboys think STRONGFEMALECHARACTERS act…take a pass, go watch EmilyBlunt in ‘TheEdgeofTomorrow*…).

—GoTs has A LOT OF ISSUES (mostly with S7/S8 of GoT, and its early Season1 episodes were admittedly…difficult. For a while, I called it LotR with T&A$$…but by that SeasonFinale, as Daenerys stepped out of ashes with 3 lil’Bebe Dragons, and Jorah kneels to her, vowing that line, “Blood of my Blood”—a line that could have fallen in flat-trope-tripe—hell no, hello, Drama Hook. We were on Team Dany…). —Genera differences aside, Team Filoni needs to take some lessons from what the GoTs writers/producers learned as they re-vamped (apparently, an even worse original filming of S1E1 of GoTs, that went back to the drawing board, it was so awful…so urban legend/DenofGeek alleges)—get fresh eyes to look at what you’re doin’ dudes…and maybe someone who’s read the actual source material. But isn’t in love with it—like Gilroy. I still think that’s why ‘Andor’ carried such a different essence—and a much needed sophistication for how science-fiction, and SpaceOpera ought to land. Fuck, go read some DeathStalker too, if you’re looking for bombast with tropes, and a good time. Watch bloody ‘The Expanse’. Someone mentioned, if Filoni required a lesson on how to communicate back-story as a balance between narration, and scene progression, to bring a largely uninformed audience up to speed on a Universe/World building Plot mythos with which most audience isn’t familiar, watch the first 15 minutes of ‘Serenity’. And maybe the entire Season of ‘Arcane’?. —which leads to the ultimate conclusion, Thrawn shouldn’t have been used by Filoni at all in ‘Rebels’. They needed a BigBad, and he ought to have just contrived his own generic Imperial of the Week. Which is what he did. And named it Thrawn. And yes, I know, supposedly he consulted Zahn. I’m more convinced, Zahn is diplomatic, and either felt (as he’d mentioned a few years ago), he was done writing Thrawn’s arc, and so, resigned his BlueManArtLovingAdmiral to the Disney drain of EU archives from which Disney borrows when it can’t be bothered to create its own original characters; or, he’s going to quietly retcon Thrawnius back into Zahn shape—given the rumors of recent months where he seems to have reconsidered revisiting Thrawn/Chiss arcs. Who knows? —My suspicion with ‘Rebels’ (of which, I completely can figure out the story-line, *secret*—it’s not that complicated for anyone who’s read any sort of children’s literature, or young adult books through their youth. Yes, I’ve tried watching episodes—it’s a cartoon made for kids—would’a loved as a kid…probably/maybe? As an adult, I’m wondering what other fodder people read and watch to consider this *quality*). I think what no one admits is, the animated series needed a big name from popular Lore to draw viewers, so there was computer-animated, cartoon-Thrawn…Filoni’s Disney Imperial. —okay, soap box rant done—we all have our OPs. I’m holding out for Andor/S2, but after that, cancelling Disney+. Actually, might even cancel before, and just renew when Andor/S2 comes out…

[dxstopiaa]

hi again! i really want to stress the fact that what you wrote was just incredibly amazing, like holy shit fr i read your other writings and actually your style is really nice and has a unique touch, whether its how you write the horny or the not horny, it's pleasant to read!

and tbh your characterisation of alhaitham was crazy, maybe it just happened to tick off every single horny box i have but you did it, i haven't read anything so eye opening in months, probably even years 💀

so, if and only if, you enjoyed writing him like that, omg would be awesome if you could do some more with this characterisation! whether it's part 2 of the same scenario or something else (he is the superior this time or he's a teacher in the akademiya, or even something like where reader is an illegal merchant like dori and in exchange for his silence, he'll ask for goods and...)

ok sorry for the long ask lolol but ill say it again, that fic was like 10* Michelin restaurant thanks for blessing the world with your writing

ohmygod (x100) i was smiling SO HARD reading this i really appreciate the compliment !!! love youuu <33 id be so happy to write that for you!

so you were thinking of a teacher!alhaitham where he learns his best student turned to illegal means because of her struggle? and she gets caught?? aaaa absolutely!

I’m physically jumping up and down, i love long asks and i’m so so glad you like my writinggg 💕 I’ll try get the fic out for you within the next week? Also would you like to be tagged? if so i don’t mind if you comment your user! again tysm ily ml 🤭

Help A Queer Single Mother Pay Her Bills In September?

Hi! We got our rent paid (thank you all for your help!), but I have no money left to pay bills and I also need to rehome my son so we have a chance to keep our lease.

I currently live in a 55+/disabled community, and my son is not allowed to live on the premises with us. We’re looking into safe alternatives for housing, but we may just need to put him in a hotel for a while and we don’t have the money for that. Tomorrow (9/7/22) we’ll learn more about options from the YMCA but we’re running out of time to get our lease renewed. There’s an Econo Lodge near our house we can send him to with his X-Box and some food, but for one week it's $117 a night. It’s the only inn in the area, and we might be able to get a voucher for my son, but I’m not sure.

We also have bills to pay. It totals $434.43 for all of our bills for the month, ranging from electricity and internet to catalog orders. Any help we can get paying them would be huge. The first bill is due in one week, and that’s the electricity bill.

If you want to help, here’s how:

UPDATE: So yesterday (9/8/22), management at my apartment complex decided not to renew our lease. Our rent check hadn’t cleared yet so we took out money to buy groceries and things we needed to start packing and look for a new apartment. Management wants an extra $220 a month for a two month month-to-month agreement on top of our rent. We don’t know if this is legal but we’re not paying it just yet.

We are about to overdraft my mom’s account by $1200 if the check goes through and we need to cover that. Or we can cover my account, which is only overdrawn by $400. Either way, we have a lot of overdrafts and we don’t want to take out loans if we need to have an apartment complex run a credit check on us.

Any help is huge. Even $5 would make a big difference. I just want to get into housing somewhere else and not be homeless again because my disabled body just can’t take living in a car again, especially if we can’t secure housing for my son before we have to leave.

WE NEED HELP WITH RENT!!!

My mom and I had to take out a bunch of loans to cover expenses and now we have nothing for rent. My mom is $600 overdrawn and I'm $140. We'll be getting our monthly payments soon but it's all going to be eaten up by loans that still need to come out.

I need to come up with $1,300 (which is rent plus PayPal fees) by August 3rd. This is an emergency, as three disabled people live in my apartment and there is no way we can survive homelessness again.

Queer Single Mom In Need Of Help With Rent & Groceries - Please Read!

Hello! I’m the queer single parent to a bisexual son and one of the main providers for my household (which also includes my disabled mother). Due to some financial screw-ups I am going to be short on my rent and I really need to cover it (I know I have another post going around, but my overdraft is going to drastically change amounts by the 3rd of March so I’m taking it off, my phone bill got paid and our electrical bill debt is going into a special payment program as of our next bill).

What I desperately need now, by March 3rd at the latest, is $400 to cover my share of the rent and $257.97 to cover loans my mom took out to cover bills last month. This will help me keep a roof over the head of myself, my mother and my teenage son.

I could also use a little more help with groceries. My mother no longer qualifies for pandemic assistance food stamps in the middle of the month, and my son is eating us out of house and home. Plus extra groceries I can get for my mom before the 28th would be great, as she’s having extensive dental surgery and we don’t think she’ll be able to eat solids for up to a week.

I also need cat food and cat litter for my cats, if anyone can help with that. I have a Amazon wishlist up here if anyone can help with that.

If anyone wants to help, here’s some links:

I know I still have loans to cover for my mom and myself, but we are in DESPERATE need of food. It's five more days until we get our food stamps, and we're out of milk, almost out of meat and cheese for sandwiches, and I need cream of mushroom soup and sour cream and evaporated milk to make at least three meals with. My kid is eating us out of house and home but I can't just not feed him. If I can get $50 that would be a HUGE help.

My #1 post of 2022

Queer Single Mom Needs Help With Bills - Please Read!

Hello! I’m the queer single parent to a bisexual son and one of the main providers for my household (which also includes my disabled mother). We got the rent covered (thanks to everyone who reblogged and donated), but it took all of our money and we can't pay our bills this month. We need to raise money to cover things like car insurance, our electric bill, the storage unit we rent, and my overdraft with my bank and a few loan repayments. Our storage unit is the most pressing, since if we don't pay the $294 by the 10th it goes up.

I included a list of everything we need to pay below. I can get proof for all of it if anyone has any questions on validity. I'm hoping after I get this month and next month taken care of I won't need to ask for as much help; I'm in a debt relief program for my credit cards and some loan debt, and most of the loans I'm left with will be paid off by May 1st, which will free up $400 a month to put towards bills. I'll still need some help until my debts are paid off, but it will probably only be for one or two bills.

If you can help, here are some links to use:

Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you'd like to know better

@apersonwholikeslotus thanks for the tag!!

What book are you currently reading?

I don’t read books that often unless I have to, but rn I’m reading A Christmas Carol bc I’m watching through most all of the film adaptations and I wanted to compare it to the book. After watching ~50 Christmas carol movies in like 2 months it isn’t really anything special.

What's your favorite movie you saw in theaters this years?

I only saw a couple movies in theaters this year, but the first thing that came to mind for this was Sonic 2 which was NOT a good movie by any means but I saw it w my friend on the day it came out while we were on vacation and it was hilarious so I’m gonna have to go w that.

What do you usually wear?

Some sort of cargo pants or slacks, a sweater or hoodie, and converse or docs depending on the weather.

How tall are you?

5’7

What's your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?

I’m a Virgo and idk abt celebrities but I have the same bday as miku binder Thomas Jefferson and those planes hitting the twin towers.

Do you go by your name or a nick-name?

I just go by Ezra on here but irl I go by a shortened version of my birthname bc my parents won’t let me change it so technically both?

Did you grow up to be become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

Well, I’m 15 so I don’t think I can rlly answer this question yet, but ever since I was a kid computer science has been my realistic life plan and I’m on track to do that so kinda.

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

I’m aroace and I don’t desire any sort of relationship at all so no.

What's something you're good at vs. something you're bad at?

I’d like to think I’m pretty good at writing and art and I am not good at talking to people online or irl.

Dogs or Cats?

Cats out of the two, but tbh I don’t rlly like any animals all that much.

What's something you would like to create content for?

I’ve wanted to draw stuff for Ted Lasso and Bojack Horseman for a while now but I can’t draw old ppl or horses very well (I’m trying tho)

What's something you're currently obsessed with?

Seinfeld. Obviously Hetalia and by extension history (specifically Dutch + German) but every year around this time I get rlly into a popular adult comedy for several months, permanently altering my psyche and this year that is Seinfeld. I feel like my brain noticed that my life is going absolutely insane rn and decided it was necessary to deploy the SpIn.

What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

Ap European history. All last summer and the end of last year I was like “omg I cant wait to take ap euro next year it’s gonna be so fun I love European history and I’ve heard the teacher is awesome” and then the year starts and she keeps getting sick and by October (abt 2 months into school) she’s only been in class like half the days. So obviously everyone in the class starts getting rlly annoyed bc this was obviously not at all planned for at all as we’d been doing world history II work we’d already done last year the whole time, we are barely learning any new content, and our grades weren’t getting updated so a lot of ppl were failing the class. Then, the teacher misses 2 weeks straight of school and we’re all confused and annoyed. This goes on until one morning I’m eating my animal crackers and my dads like “hey did you know [teachers name]” and I’m like “yeah” and he’s like “oh well she just died” so then we spend like a month trying to get things back in order and getting tossed around the history department like a hot potato with anyone willing to teach us. Then like a week ago we finally got a permanent teacher and apparently we are like 2 months behind on content and we have to do a whole unit this week and a bunch of reading over break to maybe be ready for the ap test in may.

Are you religious?

No, my parents aren’t religious so I never have been.

What's something you wish to have at this moment?

Free time. I have so many projects and tests this week it’s crazy. It’s ~9:30pm my time as I’m writing this and I’ve used pretty much all my free time since I woke up making this post.

@rownavi (if they ever end up seeing this lmao) & @grimanonrexwrites

Srry if you’ve already gotten this!

[qqueenofhades]

Hi. I’m curious. What did you mean by “women who read fiction might get Bad Ideas!!!” has just reached its latest and stupidest form via tumblr purity culture.? I haven’t seen any of this but I’m new to tumblr.

Oh man. You really want to get me into trouble on, like, my first day back, don’t you?

Pretty much all of this has been explained elsewhere by people much smarter than me, so this isn’t necessarily going to say anything new, but I’ll do my best to synthesize and summarize it. As ever, it comes with the caveat that it is my personal interpretation, and is not intended as the be-all, end-all. You’ll definitely run across it if you spend any time on Tumblr (or social media in general, including Twitter, and any other fandom-related spaces). This will get long.

In short: in the nineteenth century, when Gothic/romantic literature became popular and women were increasingly able to read these kinds of novels for fun, there was an attendant moral panic over whether they, with their weak female brains, would be able to distinguish fiction from reality, and that they might start making immoral or inappropriate choices in their real life as a result. Obviously, there was a huge sexist and misogynistic component to this, and it would be nice to write it off entirely as just hysterical Victorian pearl-clutching, but that feeds into the “lol people in the past were all much stupider than we are today” kind of historical fallacy that I often and vigorously shut down. (Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone can ever write the “omg medieval people believed such weird things about medicine!” nonsense again after what we’ve gone through with COVID, but that is a whole other rant.) The thinking ran that women shouldn’t read novels for fear of corrupting their impressionable brains, or if they had to read novels at all, they should only be the Right Ones: i.e., those that came with a side of heavy-handed and explicit moralizing so that they wouldn’t be tempted to transgress. Of course, books trying to hammer their readers over the head with their Moral Point aren’t often much fun to read, and that’s not the point of fiction anyway. Or at least, it shouldn’t be.

Fast-forward to today, and the entire generation of young, otherwise well-meaning people who have come to believe that being a moral person involves only consuming the “right” kind of fictional content, and being outrageously mean to strangers on the internet who do not agree with that choice. There are a lot of factors contributing to this. First, the advent of social media and being subject to the judgment of people across the world at all times has made it imperative that you demonstrate the “right” opinions to fit in with your peer-group, and on fandom websites, that often falls into a twisted, hyper-critical, so-called “progressivism” that diligently knows all the social justice buzzwords, but has trouble applying them in nuance, context, and complicated real life. To some extent, this obviously is not a bad thing. People need to be critical of the media they engage with, to know what narratives the creator(s) are promoting, the tropes they are using, the conclusions that they are supporting, and to be able to recognize and push back against genuinely harmful content when it is produced – and this distinction is critical – by professional mainstream creators. Amateur, individual fan content is another kettle of fish. There is a difference between critiquing a professional creator (though social media has also made it incredibly easy to atrociously abuse them) and attacking your fellow fan and peer, who is on the exact same footing as you as a consumer of that content.

Obviously, again, this doesn’t mean that you can’t call out people who are engaging in actually toxic or abusive behavior, fans or otherwise. But certain segments of Tumblr culture have drained both those words (along with “gaslighting”) of almost all critical meaning, until they’re applied indiscriminately to “any fictional content that I don’t like, don’t agree with, or which doesn’t seem to model healthy behavior in real life” and “anyone who likes or engages with this content.” Somewhere along the line, a reactionary mindset has been formed in which the only fictional narratives or relationships are those which would be “acceptable” in real life, to which I say…. what? If I only wanted real life, I would watch the news and only read non-fiction. Once again, the underlying fear, even if it’s framed in different terms, is that the people (often women) enjoying this content can’t be trusted to tell the difference between fiction and reality, and if they like “problematic” fictional content, they will proceed to seek it out in their real life and personal relationships. And this is just… not true.

As I said above, critical media studies and thoughtful consumption of entertainment are both great things! There have been some great metas written on, say, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how it is increasingly relying on villains who have outwardly admirable motives (see: the Flag Smashers in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) who are then stigmatized by their anti-social, violent behavior and attacks on innocent people, which is bad even as the heroes also rely on violence to achieve their ends. This is a clever way to acknowledge social anxieties – to say that people who identify with the Flag Smashers are right, to an extent, but then the instant they cross the line into violence, they’re upsetting the status quo and need to be put down by the heroes. I watched TFATWS and obviously enjoyed it. I have gone on a Marvel re-watching binge recently as well. I like the MCU! I like the characters and the madcap sci-fi adventures! But I can also recognize it as a flawed piece of media that I don’t have to accept whole-cloth, and to be able to criticize some of the ancillary messages that come with it. It doesn’t have to be black and white.

When it comes to shipping, moreover, the toxic culture of “my ship is better than your ship because it’s Better in Real Life” ™ is both well-known and in my opinion, exhausting and pointless. As also noted, the whole point of fiction is that it allows us to create and experience realities that we don’t always want in real life. I certainly enjoy plenty of things in fiction that I would definitely not want in reality: apocalyptic space operas, violent adventures, and yes, garbage men. A large number of my ships over the years have been labeled “unhealthy” for one reason or another, presumably because they don’t adhere to the stereotype of the coffee-shop AU where there’s no tension and nobody ever makes mistakes or is allowed to have serious flaws. And I’m not even bagging on coffee-shop AUs! Some people want to remove characters from a violent situation and give them that fluff and release from the nonstop trauma that TV writers merrily inflict on them without ever thinking about the consequences. Fanfiction often focuses on the psychology and healing of characters who have been through too much, and since that’s something we can all relate to right now, it’s a very powerful exercise. As a transformative and interpretive tool, fanfic is pretty awesome.

The problem, again, comes when people think that fic/fandom can only be used in this way, and that going the other direction, and exploring darker or complicated or messy dynamics and relationships, is morally bad. As has been said before: shipping is not activism. You don’t get brownie points for only having “healthy” ships (and just my personal opinion as a queer person, these often tend to be heterosexual white ships engaging in notably heteronormative behavior) and only supporting behavior in fiction that you think is acceptable in real life. As we’ve said, there is a systematic problem in identifying what that is. Ironically, for people worried about Women Getting Ideas by confusing fiction and reality, they’re doing the same thing, and treating fiction like reality. Fiction is fiction. Nobody actually dies. Nobody actually gets hurt. These people are not real. We need to normalize the idea of characters as figments of a creator’s imagination, not actual people with their own agency. They exist as they are written, and by the choice of people whose motives can be scrutinized and questioned, but they themselves are not real. Nor do characters reflect the author’s personal views. Period.

This feeds into the fact that the internet, and fandom culture, is not intended as a “safe space” in the sense that no questionable or triggering content can ever be posted. Archive of Our Own, with its reams of scrupulous tagging and requests for you to explicitly click and confirm that you are of age to see M or E-rated content, is a constant target of the purity cultists for hosting fictional material that they see as “immoral.” But it repeatedly, unmistakably, directly asks you for your consent to see this material, and if you then act unfairly victimized, well… that’s on you. You agreed to look at this, and there are very few cases where you didn’t know what it entailed. Fandom involves adults creating contents for adults, and while teenagers and younger people can and do participate, they need to understand this fact, rather than expecting everything to be a PG Disney movie.

When I do write my “dark” ships with garbage men, moreover, they always involve a lot of the man being an idiot, being bluntly called out for an idiot, and learning healthier patterns of behavior, which is one of the fundamental patterns of romance novels. But they also involve an element of the woman realizing that societal standards are, in fact, bullshit, and she can go feral every so often, as a treat. But even if I wrote them another way, that would still be okay! There are plenty of ships and dynamics that I don’t care for and don’t express in my fic and fandom writing, but that doesn’t mean I seek out the people who do like them and reprimand them for it. I know plenty of people who use fiction, including dark fiction, in a cathartic way to process real-life trauma, and that’s exactly the role – one of them, at least – that fiction needs to be able to fulfill. It would be terribly boring and limited if we were only ever allowed to write about Real Life and nothing else. It needs to be complicated, dark, escapist, unreal, twisted, and whatever else. This means absolutely zilch about what the consumers of this fiction believe, act, or do in their real lives.

Once more, I do note the misogyny underlying this. Nobody, after all, seems to care what kind of books or fictional narratives men read, and there’s no reflection on whether this is teaching them unhealthy patterns of behavior, or whether it predicts how they’ll act in real life. (There was some of that with the “do video games cause mass shootings?”, but it was a straw man to distract from the actual issues of toxic masculinity and gun culture.) Certain kinds of fiction, especially historical fiction, romance novels, and fanfic, are intensely gendered and viewed as being “women’s fiction” and therefore hyper-criticized, while nobody’s asking if all the macho-man potboiler military-intrigue tough-guy stereotypical “men’s fiction” is teaching them bad things. So the panic about whether your average woman on the internet is reading dark fanfic with an Unhealthy Ship (zomgz) is, in my opinion, misguided at best, and actively destructive at worst.

[ghost-bxrd]

*GASP* are you trying to beat me with my own weapons? I’m shocked! Impressed, but also shocked!

On that note:

Once more the tags are trying to hide some of the best parts ksksks

But yes absolutely, Bruce having flexible morals would, objectively, turn everyone’s world view upside down. Bruce? Ok with killing? Doing the killing HIMSELF!? Well, obviously! While we all love and adore Alfred, I think it’s safe to assume that he didn’t have a good idea on how to handle Bruce’s grief and destructive behavior after his parents’ death. Yes he loves Bruce like a son, but he never truly allowed himself to become the parental figure Bruce so desperately needed and instead remained a butler more than anything. (An awesome butler who would absolutely burn the world for Bruce, but still.)

Jason has no such qualms. yes, the kid lost his parents a couple months ago and the amount of trauma he’s been through is nothing to sneeze at, not to mention the anger issues, but Jason is also someone who adores kids and isn’t afraid to demonstrate it with hugs and endless patience and home cooked meals etc.

The beginning of their acquaintance is an absolute roller coaster, but Bruce quickly learns that Jason is now his one, irrevocable constant in life. And it helps that his new adoptive dad guardian knows how to disarm someone pointing a gun at them in .1 seconds flat. Jason is now his role model.

And Jason, who would absolutely die thrice over to keep this kid safe, the kid who curls up beside him on the couch like a skittish kitten seeking affection, who asks him to teach him self defense—- the moment Bruce expresses his desire to rid the world of the Joker permanently, Jason just blue screens.

On hand— this is what he wanted. This is all he wanted since the moment he woke up from his dip in the Mountain Dew of doom. On the other hand it’s all wrong, because it’s the wrong Bruce trying to avenge him.

“So what? You can barely sleep at night. You almost got knifed because you lost sight of me during patrol for two minutes and thought the Joker had me. This needs to stop. We’re making him go away for good.”

(And on that note I’d like to tell you how much I loved the “this is an intervention, let’s go kill the Joker ourselves” part. Like, peak dialogue. Genuinely delighted.)

Jason, who is not gonna let his kid within twenty kilometers of the clown, goes to Arkham and shoots Joker and that’s that. It’s not what he wanted when he came back, but he finds that just the knowledge of one incarnation of Bruce willing to kill for him is— enough.

Also let’s add Mini!Bruce deliberately antagonizing his older counterpart during patrol. He’s furious on Jason’s behalf and he needs an outlet. Batman telling him that “it’s ok, we can keep you safe. Hood won’t hurt you anymore-“ and mini!Bruce just roasting Batman so hard the Anakin-on-Mustafar situation seems like a light sunburn.

Also, Robin and mini!Bruce rivalry. That’s all. Need I elaborate?

Omg ok this turned into an entire rant I’m so sorry 🪴

Prompt:

Jason gets booted to another dimension and adopts a recently orphaned Bruce Wayne.

Whom he also takes along for the ride when he’s pulled back into his own dimension.

Hello wonderful person,

I noticed your blog somewhere in the SKZ tag (no idea how I did but ehh here we are 😅). And then I started scrolling… 🧐 But wow, if I understand correctly you’re 1.) not from South Korea and 2.) with Seungmin as your bias. So true bestie, that’s pretty unique bc apparently Seungmin by far isn’t as popular as his “lovely ew members” outside of South Korea. So you must be a treasure to him.

Anyways, as for me, I am Thel, from 🇳🇱, and I’d like to refer to myself as a “granny Stay.” In the sense that on the one hand I am a baby Stay but on the other I’m 27 years old…pretty old to be a beginning K-Pop fan. 😹 So, ehh, “granny still has a lot to learn.” Anyways, my absolute bias has to be Han Jisung (suffice to say I recognise a lot from myself in him; not his ridiculous talent obv but the mental health issues issues and other tribulations he’s faced), and I listen to “Alien” at least 3 times a day. 🥲 But my biaswrecker is definitely Kim Seungmin, because the man flows over from talent, has an inspiring work ethic and deserves more recognition. (Also, I love an underdog so the fact that his awesomeness is not recognised internationally made this an even easier choice for me ����).

Talking about bi-as, I read somewhere that you recently came out. 💗💜💙 So…

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳

Apologies for this random ambush on your inbox! <3 Have an amazing day! ^^

Love,

— Thel. 💚

Omg hello, Thel !! 😭💞

I was so surprised to receive this aaaa but v v grateful huhu

Indeed, I'm not from South Korea or Korea in general and I am very much a Seungmin stan. A treasure? Stawpp hehe 🙈

Sorry if I'm wrong but that's the Netherlands flag, right? huhu, and a granny stay you say? Oh how I love teasing Stays that are older than me, but I'll let you pass for now cause I just met you hsjwbdjsns

Ooohh a Han biased !! He's a part of my bias line too, he's such a safe place :(( I'm sorry to hear about the mental health issues, I do relate as well. Alien is such a comfort song too, makes me sob every time.

And rigghtt?? Seungmin is such a great idol– person even but he's so underrated, it's sad how people don't really notice him much but oh well, more love for me 🤺🤺

AAAA THANK YOU !! This ask really made me smile, I'm glad you were comfortable enough to share with me <33

Have a lovely day/night, and pleaseee, you're just as wonderful ☹️💞

[gojosattoru]

Here’s a quick search through my bookmarks for the phrase ‘Lan Qiren is a dick’ which I’ve apparently used 6 times.

Open for movie speculation? :) The new key visual was released today and if you don't want miniscule spoilers then I'll gladly spend the time asking how you're doing in these times and how you light up my saturday with your posts that never cease to make me laugh haha. I do hope you're doing well :) So here's the wee spoiler (or should I call it a spoiler?) the antagonist(?) is called "Flect Turn", hope you have a nice week :)

so as usual, I'm late in responding to this, but I just wanted to clarify that my "no spoilers, please" policy pretty much only applies to the new BnHA manga chapters, and that's specifically because of the weekly reaction posts. I know part of the appeal of a liveblog is watching someone else's reactions to all of the surprises and twists and wtf moments, and so I try to preserve those each week. if I wasn't liveblogging the series I would probably be reading the leaks along with everybody else to tell the truth lol.

so that said, feel free to send me spoilers about the upcoming movie! out of respect for those who do want to avoid being spoiled, I'll tag those posts (and this one) with "bnha world heroes' mission spoilers" and "bnha movie 3 spoilers" so people can blacklist those tags if desired. but I personally have no objection to them; back when Heroes Rising came out I already knew all of the plot points and had read detailed spoiler summaries well before I finally got the chance to watch it myself. it definitely did not take away from the experience at all, and in fact I'm kind of glad I knew about the end twist ahead of time because I was able to devote more mental energy to analyzing and appreciating it rather than still being all "!!!!" from the shock lol.

so yeah, I've been trying to stay up to date with the news about WHM as well. here's everything I think we know so far:

the movie will take place during the Endeavor Agency internship, as expected.

the bad guys are a terrorist organization called "Humanize", who believe in the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory we first learned about during the Remedial arc. as a refresher, basically the idea is that as quirks continue to evolve with each new generation, they'll eventually grow too powerful for humans to control and will destroy the world or something lol.

anyway so Humanize hears about this, and they're either like, "man that sucks, we should just kill everyone with a quirk so it doesn't happen", OR they're like "man that sounds awesome, we should totally expedite that." like, I'm really not clear on this part lol. but either way, they apparently come up with a plan to cleanse the world of quirk users by planting magical plot bombs called Ideo Trigger Bombs, which make people lose control of their quirks.

as mentioned, the bad guys' leader is named Flect Turn for god knows what reason lmao. I'm guessing it's some kind of weird play on the word "reflect" (especially given his character design), and based on that, as well as the Ideo Triggers, I suspect this guy has the ability to somehow turn people's own quirks against them. you can see him at the bottom of the key visual anon mentioned, here.

anyway so the heroes are all "hmm, pretty sure the end of world = bad" and so they all decide to band together under this "W.H.A." umbrella (which I'm still assuming stands for either World Hero Agency or World Hero Association or something like that) to deal with the bombs.

as shown on the key visual, in addition to the Endeavor Agency trio, the movie will also feature the kids from Ryuukyuu, Fat Gum, Gang Orca (who has Jirou and Shouji interning under him for anyone who lost track), and Hawks's agencies.

the movie will also feature a new character named Rody Soul, who's this weird steampunk Dickensian urchin-looking guy with a ponytail lol. he apparently teams up with the trio following one of the bomb incidents.

most of the movie will apparently take place in a fictional country called Oceon (this is why nobody could quite place where that bridge in the trailer was from lol).

at some point Deku gets framed for murder idk. just Deku things.

and last but not least, as usual there will be a special manga tie-in release, in this case titled "Volume W(orld Heroes)". looks like the initial release will be exclusive to theater-goers in Japan, but I'm sure someone will get their hands on it and post it online, and Viz will eventually release it in English as well (they did the same with the previous two tie-ins). it'll include behind-the-scenes sketches, a new Horikoshi interview (probably the part I'm most looking forward to), and of course, the new movie tie-in chapter. as with the previous tie-ins (Volume Origin and Volume Rising), this will be written and drawn by Horikoshi himself. I'm hoping that it will feature the trio, but the other movie tie-ins featured All Might and Nine, respectively, so it's probably more realistic to assume this one will focus on Rody. ah well.

I think that's it. I haven't really done much speculating about the plot either tbh, though what we've learned seems pretty straightforward. Deku probably either gets framed for one of the bombs, or gets caught up in one of the blasts and loses control of OFA. or maybe they'll save that part for his fight with Flect at the end. god, if we get a scene where he goes on a Blackwhip rampage with a big screen budget I will lose my whole damn mind. especially if Kacchan and Shouto have to work together to stop him. can you imagine omg. but I should really rein myself in before I start getting way too hyped up over a bunch of wild hypotheticals. this is why I try not to speculate lol.
