Sean are you aware of kneecap

Very, very dumb question; if you do the whole ‘create a blog’ that pops up when you click on your username-

Can anybody see that? Or is it just you that know?

Is it “a universally recognized icon” or “a universally recognized icon”?

So turtles don't need a flashlight to see in the dark? Is that why their eyes are glowing?

So….it’s complicated.

Technically, irl turtles do not have eye glow, which is a reflective film over a creatures’ eyes. Animals such as dogs, cats, and raccoons have this which is why flash photography photos makes them look super cursed/demonic.

It’s technically not an actual glow like fireflies (which use bioluminescence) either, it’s more like how street signs or bicycle reflectors “glow” when a car’s headlights flash over them.

Also important to note that while yes turtles do have a second eyelid, it’s purely for keeping junk out of their eyes while swimming and applying fluid. There’s no reflective property to the membrane.

Now, turtles are said to have better night vision than humans despite lacking eye glow. This is because (at least from what I read) turtles and other types of reptiles are what’s called “tetrachromatic.” Humans are trichromatic: we can see red, green and blue light, however turtles are able to see a fourth light spectrum that’s lower in the reds zones (some creatures it’s higher in the ultraviolet spectrum).

At least from what I’ve read, this helps increase their night vision and would mean that, while it’s hard for us to envision a color that we can see, their nighttime would look sorta reddish but mildly brighter than what we see?

Now, all this said, I’m not sure why the turtle’s eyes glow in most TMNT incarnations—the obvious reason being because it looks cool, but no real in-universe reason exists. My best guess is it’s because of the mutagen’s energy dimly dissipating and is visible through the fine veins in the turtles’ eyes. However, their blood doesn’t glow, just their eyes, so I don’t really know, maybe it’s just a mutant thing or something 🤷‍♀️

I don’t connect their glowing eyes to better night vision per se, but that would make sense so…sure?

I have no idea.

Good question! :]

kaido and nendo casually watching saiki freak out over his crush and barely reacting or caring about why is so funny to me

[sensarna]

OK, I'm calling it now

His stupid redhead ass is going to lose an eye and then use the artifact as a prosthetic

And not because Magnus lost/sold his eye, but because Markus is unlucky/lucky enough that it might as well happen

crazy how the sanshee plush is one of the few actual direct confirmations on what a non-act 2 Natsuki’s home life is like because of how cagey she is on literally everything. Like this isn’t anything surprising or something you wouldn’t be able to extrapolate from the games but unlike everything else we know about her the implications are right there on the tin.

They literally did the character bio trope where where all the likes are normal but the dislikes are about their very specific trauma it’s just so funny they did that on the plushie card

Max should get a pass so that every race weekend he’s allowed to tell one journalist to go fuck themselves

[bettertwin1]

you interact with a lot of tcest blogs for someone with tcest dni in your bio :3c let yourself free, kill the piece of you that cringes

Realistically, I know i'm never going to really know who is or isn't a tcester unless their account makes it blaringly obvious, which some don't.

The DNI is mostly there to let tcesters or proshippers know that I personally don't agree with their way of coping <- (if they are using it to cope) / that I may be uncomfortable with or around their general presence due to my own personal history with them / traumas etc etc.

Other than that, parts of me would really appreciate it if you'd tell me who i interact with. That's a supposed tcester, but I don't think that's going to happen based on your ask.

Once was one thing...

...but I feel like this is not just a "I'd have two nickels," situation, I think Renji really is the designated shouter for situations where everyone wants to stand around and do a two-page spread look cool. Is it because he won the All-Gotei Trash Talking Championship, or is this one of those things like tenteikura and opening senkaimon that are just traditional lieutenant duties? He's the only lieutenant present in the first situation. In the second, and in the second, he's the only lieutenant whose...captain is present?

He's also very tall and projects well. Ikkaku is also good at hollerin', but he this happens two panels later, so it's unsurprising that he's been banned from spokesperson duties:
