okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

[hootgrowlbears]

"Stop antagonizing the fucking Bad Kids."

It was Jace's words that really doomed all the Rat Grinders. Now they get to be like Dayne and Penelope, unimportant and unceremoniously murdered. Antagonists with little screen time. Easy for the Bad Kids to hate, impossible to pity.

If Jace hadn't said that, they might have been Like Aelwyn and Ragh. Constant thorns in the Bad Kids' sides, there for so long that it would stop hurting. For so long that the Bad Kids would actually want to understand why they were there, and get invested.

Tw: talk about l*ague of legends 🤢 (I can be a hater since I play the game)

I'm trying to draw this character who I've been crushing on since I was 12 and like, I literally can't because my brain just keeps going that's not good enough do better! Crying cuz I can't draw my wife properly... ANYWAY there's this magical talking cat in LoL and I really want to draw her interacting with Grim too!

— 🐀

Ohh which one ?? I've played a bit of league some time ago, used to main veigar ! (my fav is Vladimir (pc design) but his gameplay is too hard for me, sobbing, yone looks cool too tbh and oh, that one (1) skin in white suit for swain....)

And I get it I get the same feeling with Rollo, loving the character so much and when you look at your art of them it feels like it's not good enough because they're just that magnificent in our minds 😔 And omg... Grim and Yuumi ... magic floofs hanging out, basking in the sun. Made me want to draw it too eee

Joe in complete and uterly distress: NO, NOOO! THAT'S GONNA BE CLEVER

Hypno, Cleo and Xisuma start laughing hysterically while Joe keeps repeating the word "No"

i think halstarion is fun when halsin is kinda crazy and astarion is actually the normal one. halsin sees a bruise on astarion’s knee and is like “who did this to you??? WHO DID THIS” and his bear form starts sizzling into existence and astarion is like “omg i just tripped im fine? relax”

I’m not gonna do anything drastic don’t worry I’m just in a rough spot now is all.. (vent post)

NOT SAFE FOR AGE REGRESSORS CURRENTLY REGRESSED OR SENSTIVE PEOPLE

!TW/IMPLIED SH/SUICIDAL THOUGHTS THAT WILL NOT BE ACTED ON,FAST SPED UP GAME PLAY!

my blog hates when I try to vent Apperantly, sorry for anyone that sees this I just need to get stuff off my chest but I can’t exactly do that when I’m happy and therapist friend of my group despite my friends telling me I don’t have to make sure no one is falling apart.

I’m so jittery right now I can barely breathe and I don’t know why, I think my body is giving up on me to be honest.

I’m sorry to anyone that met me, I’m not the greatest person ever but I’m hope I’m at least good enough to you.

Hello :D

You're so cool

Anyway have you thought that in your rat sons au Splinter might outlive the boys?

You're very cool :D love your stuff dude

(tw for some blood, light gore, implied overdose (kinda??))

hi copper!!! this is a fantastic question!

so obviously typical irl rats have far shorter lifespans than the average irl tortoise. according to google (yes, be awed by my spectacularly in-depth wealth of research) the average pet rat lives between 2-4 years ish, and the oldest on record lived to be about 7. meanwhile, an African spurred tortoise (Splinter's species) averages more around a 50ish year lifespan in captivity, tho is suspected to possibly exceed 75 or more in the wild.

Now, the mutation does give us a lot of wiggle room for playing with these numbers. For the rat sons boys, id say their natural lifespan probably clocks in at about 45-55 years old? definitely not old by human standards, but not young young either. (though, its also important to note that the boys were exposed to the mutagen just days after being born.)

For Splinter, meanwhile, aging is slightly more complicated. He lived the vast majority of his life as a regular normal African spurred tortoise (well, non-mutated at least. there were perhaps some shenanigans of a more mystical variety going on before he was mutated, but thats a separate matter) He was about 70ish i think? when the boys were born and they were all exposed to the mutagen. so he is already distinctly an old man turtle papa. id guess he'd probably still have another eh lets say 25-30 years after his mutation. he could probably push it a little farther even with some mystic nonsense, but when push comes to shove id say his 'natural' post-mutation lifespan would put his death like a solid decade or two before his sons.

of course, the tricky part of the matter is that theres no way for Splinter to know any of this. theres no way for him to know how the mutation affected them all, or if it even affected them all in the same way. especially since the boys dont show many physical signs of mutation for the first few years, and just kinda look like normal rats, (albeit with a more human sort of intelligence) — what sort of health standard do you hold them to? what if they simply dont show external signs of sickness or old age anymore? how do you actually know if something is wrong?

for a while there Splinter is very worried that one of his babies will just essentially reach the end of their normal rat lifespan, fall and not get up again.

so mostly, he just tries to live in the moment, enjoying whatever time he does have with his little ones, taking each day as a gift <3

still,

that fear

never

really

goes

away.....

some crazy ass wips to work on this week... do me a favor and hold me accountable KUDASAAAAAAAAI (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

[clowns0up-felix]

honestly u should be drawing what ur heart desires 👍 loz or arcane or whatever else. its ur blog. u are the big rat that makes all the rules

I AM the big rat that makes all the rules YAYYYYY!!!!!! YAY

BUT there does come this problem when you build a blog based on a franchise and then suddenly switch to another one……………………. idk y’all aren’t getting what y’all followed for huhhh ,, and then the people that start following me for arcane stuff are gonna be disappointed when I go back to loz soon,, CRAZY !!!! AUGH

And I can’t even really get myself to just post both things bc my brain can only properly house one interest at a time (which is why a side blog wouldn’t work)

THINGS ARE CRAZY IM IN THE TRENCHES (I made the trenches, I made the war , I am the soldier as much as I am the perpetrator…….)
