Gonna be honest one of the fanon things that irks me a bit is when people are like "Raph can't go into his shell at all", as in, he isn't physically capable of it.

Yes he doesn't do it in the show, but if he can't do it then why was shell bowling even a thing in the Lair Games? Why would their competition have an event about them going into their shells to bowl if Raph can't do that? I genuinely don't think they'd create an event that one of them physically cannot compete in, that goes against the whole premise of the Lair Games.

Idk it's just one of those things that's fine as a headcanon, but it bothers me when it gets treated as canon.

thinking about that phrase fellow would repeat at times ("there's nothing to fear") ... it was spaced out enough that i wasn't sure if it could be the incantation for his UM (debunked), or just a line he particularly liked to use in his whole pied piper act. having those words originate from GIDEL (about being with fellow) broke me oh 😭 there was a meaning to them in the end

"The Count is the least dreadful to me; that to him alone I can look for safety, even though this be only whilst I can serve his purpose. Great God! merciful God! Let me be calm, for out of that way lies madness indeed." Jonathan Harker, may 16.

It's the realization, and the frightened fury of Jonathan when he finds out that Dracula is the only being who can protect him in the horrible cage that he himself has organized for Jonathan.

The fear of realizing that yes Jonathan, the man who is abusing you, keeping you trapped, and playing a sick game with your sanity is the only person who you can turn to feel safe. The only reassurance that you will not die today on his watch... unless you stop playing the role he wants you to play.

Dang said she’s been reflecting on their support, emphasizing that she thinks it’s no coincidence that women came to her defense. She said she thinks there’s been a showing of solidarity among women over the public safety threats and harassment that they deal with. "

By Kimmy Yam

A woman who was attacked in the Boston subway is speaking out after a group of teens were recorded harassing her with racist language and attempting to block her from leaving the train. 

Vivian Dang, 25, told NBC News that she was on the red line at around 10 p.m. last Thursday when the unidentified teens followed her into a train car. A video she took of the incident shows them hurling racial slurs, mocking her in an accent and physically cornering her. 

“Can I get some dumplings?” one of the teens can be heard saying with a fake accent. “Can I get some ramen with the egg?” 

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police confirmed to NBC News that the investigation is active and declined to comment any further on the incident. But the morning after the attack, police said on social media that they were looking for the teens, who had not only taunted, harassed and threatened passengers, but had also smashed a train window before fleeing. 

Video of the incident has since gone viral on TikTok, prompting discussions over public transit safety. 

While the train was crowded, Dang said that three women helped her throughout the ordeal. Two of them had encouraged her to sit next to them, while another spoke up for her. 

“We did have a moment when I was thanking them for sticking up for me and one of them even gave me a pepper spray because she had extra,” Dang said. “We just had a casual conversation about how she always has these things prepared.”

One of the women also assured her of the severity of the situation and brought the police over to Dang, she said, helping her report the incident. 

Since, Dang said she’s been reflecting on their support, emphasizing that she thinks it’s no coincidence that women came to her defense. She said she thinks there’s been a showing of solidarity among women over the public safety threats and harassment that they deal with. 

“We’re kind of looking out for each other. It’s always the women,” Dang said. “You see women pretending they know each other on the street just to have them avoid a stranger approaching them or something. It’s very the norm to really just stick up for one another as a woman.” 

“I’m hoping that this is an eye opener for people taking public transport and just being more cautious of the people around you,” Dang said. “And I hope that this sparks more conversation into the racism that’s been occurring, every day … not everybody gets to record their incident.” 

The 25-year-old said that when the teens entered the train, they immediately began to threaten passengers. 

“I was in the first cart with them. They were already saying stuff like, ‘This is a mass robbery. Everyone get on the ground,’” Dang said. “One of them sat right next to me, speaking really loudly at me, but I was just ignoring it.”

When the teens attempted to yank the shoes off a male passenger, Dang said she moved to another train car. But the group trailed her. 

“One of the first things they said to me already was that I was being racist for ‘staying away from Black people,’” Dang said. “Then they started spewing things at me.”

What followed, Dang said, was a barrage of anti-Asian insults, some of which didn’t make it into her recording. 

“I didn’t catch this on the clip, but they just went off in one part with so many comments about dogs and cats, saying, “Oh, this is why my dog is missing,’” Dang said, referencing the racist stereotype around Asian cuisine. When one woman spoke up in defense of Dang, the teens began to mock her accent, the video shows.

For the most part, Dang said she stayed calm and quiet, attempting to appear unfazed by their remarks, until the teens tried to trap her in the car.

“They were starting to say stuff like, ‘Don’t let her leave.’” said Dang, who was concerned they would follow her home. “That was when I was starting to get really scared.”

The group ended up getting off the train before Dang did. 

Dang said that receiving racist remarks isn’t new to her, and that during the height of the Covid pandemic verbal attacks became more common on public transit. To truly address the problem, Dang said that media, politicians and those with a platform need to be more cognizant that their words and the blame that was shifted toward the Asian community has led to real-life consequences.  

“Lack of education, lack of resources of being able to control the things that people are hearing, and saying ��� that’s ultimately the reason why we still deal with these things every day,” Dang said.

hi ophie i was wondering if u have any tips or advice for systems dating singlets? im the host of my system and im happy with my partner who knows about my system and some of my headmates, but my primary protector keeps picking apart things they do and making them into red flags and im worried that theyll have some sort of altercation thatll hurt my partner since my primary protector is very blunt. thank u love u hope u have better days soon <333

hiii yes so my therapist gave me a little chart of stuff that are green flags to focus on in our relationship with gavin instead of solely focusing on red flags bc we often let the negative overshadow the positive! not to say ignore red flags but its an attempt at being more conscious about feeling safe around gavin and making sure everyone in the headspace feels safe. but also setting boundaries and being like "hey xyz is feeling like this rn can we have a little space" or "this thing you did upset xyz can we talk about it" just being verbally open i think would be really helpful. my protector also does the same thing sometimes so we make a point to focus on the positives in our relationship alongside any negatives, and my therapist is always like COMMUNICATEEEEEEEEEEEEE which i need to get better at but def just being like "hey we felt a little unsafe when u did this can we talk about it".

the urge to intertwine chiyo’s kny verse with another character bc the series itself emphasizes the impact of personal relationships and if that isn’t one of my favorite things to write…

WHAT WOULD YOU BE THE GOD OF ?

muse: Wesley Crane.

i. winter and death. ( how others see you )

you’re known for your self-discipline and rigidity. although you may be perceived as cold and intimidating by those who don’t directly worship you, you’re actually quite fair and polite. your followers pray to you for a safe winter and peaceful death.

ii. agriculture and the home. ( how you see you )

generous and nurturing, you represent and protect the home and family. those who pray to you are often blessed with calm and happy lives and a bountiful harvest. celebrations and festivals are held every fall in your honor and a candle burns for you through the winter, hoping no one goes hungry during the harsher months.

to me cassidy always seemed like the type that'd offer up a firm handshake to go along with a brief introduction, curt nod and one of the friendliest smiles you'll ever see, just before he uses that handshake to pull you into a headbutt for thinking you could talk to his friend over there like that —
