Donnie skeletal anatomy! Click for better quality

Alright so softshell turtles right. They funky. It’s a lot more obvious that their shells are part of their ribs, as you can actually see the faint outline of their fused vertebrae and ribs on their shells. The reason their shells are so soft is because the edges and much of the lower half of their shell is actually all just cartilage and skin. Their plastron are weird, because the bone plates are largely separate and pointy, held together by harder cartilage the same way human ribs are attached around the sternum.

Donnie was weird to figure out on account of the cartilage lower half of his softshell, but I tried to compromise with his lower back vertebrae being unfused to still allow for the higher mobility required for his waist. Another fun fact about softshell is that they don’t actually have scutes or scales, but because of the look of his plastron and consistency with his brothers in the show, I’m just going to pretend that Draxum mixed in some DNA to let him grow scales for extra protection even if he has less coverage than his brothers. He can “breathe” water by absorbing oxygen through the skin of his throat, not actually by inhaling it. While most turtles can do this to a point, soft shells can stay quite active while doing so.

Personally I like to think of Donnie’s softshell as both a weakness and a strength depending on the situation! While more vulnerable, his skin can heal faster than scutes, and if he sustains blunt damage to his shell he can more easily disperse the force of it because of the give to his cartilage, rather than have the force crack his shell and cause a much more traumatic injury. Kind of like how seatbelts have some give to them to ease into a stop instead of giving someone whiplash.

Just some personal head canons! Feel free to disagree or expand upon :)

people who think sy is a bad / unkind person are literally falling for his own self-brainwashing lmfao. he demonstrates time and time again that even though he himself thinks of him as a terrible, unkind, manipulative person, he continually goes out of his way to do good by other people even when he conceivably gains no reward for doing so. he helps people and then formulates a selfish reason for it after the fact. the other characters aren't just stupidly following him around defending him for no reason - they like him because he is ultimately a good, kind person that they like and want to protect. a flawed person, but one that is ultimately good by nature. tapping my forehead repeatedly

[!] Wonho has officially been discharged from military service!

On December 5th, 2022, Wonho began his military service as a social service worker. After 1 year and 8 months, he has completed his required enlistment period!

Wonho shared the following to Starnews via Highline Entertainment:

"This period of time felt particularly long because I couldn't meet Wenees (Wonho's official fanclub name). Even though I spent every day working hard, I never stopped thinking about Wenees.

I will try to make precious memories with Wenees, who have waited for me and will come back with an even better appearance. I missed you so much, thank you for being with me, and let's create good days together."

Kirk could have greeted Spock with the vulcan salute but he chose a handshake. This way Spock thinks he’s more ignorant than he is and will lower his guard for when they eventually do play chess, and he’ll have the advantage. Kirk is out here playing the long con ;)

absolutely devastated after learning that during the 2007 USA GP, Kimi called one of his friends in Finland who was at karaoke and asked him to sing a song for him and to keep the line open so he could listen to it because "sometimes it's a little lonely out here"

which already got me feeling soft, but then i remembered that's the same GP that Seb debuted in and how he went on to keep him company for so many years after, nobody touch me-

I come back from the dead to ask the g/t community smth I got curious about:

Have you guys ever find the words "giant" or "tiny" weird? Like, saying those words in public feel embarrassing in a way?

Idk how to explain, but I remember when I was younger I always cringed when someone used "giant" and "tiny" in the literal context, or when someone said things along the lines of "wow you're a giant" or smth like that. Saying those words out loud always felt weird to me smh and I never understood why.

Well I understand now tho aushsh but I don't feel as strange about it as I used to.
