You ever read something that makes you think you’re either crazy or missing something, only to realize you’re (figuratively) the only sane person in the room?

Could the tech world (Twitter, crypto in general, NFTs in particular) please stop making this a daily occurrence for me?

…..

The sentence “Yahoo wanted to turn Tumblr into a next-gen PDF” still manages to make me hurt an unimaginable amount, with all my exposure to tech stupidity.

And why did the value plummet, Marissa? Why did it plummet?

✨The Fashionista✨

Rise Ramblings #234

While watching “The Clothes Don’t Make The Turtle,” I noticed something.

I found it interesting that Raph, Mikey, and Leo were content with Raph’s outfit choice until Donnie stated that he wasn’t “in love with it, ya’ know.”

Suddenly, Raph declares “I’m a disaster!” Albeit ridiculously endearing, it was a little strange to see his sudden shift from moderately content to absolute dissatisfaction. Huh…

Then, the disaster twins decide to help him out.

Take a note of their outfit choices.

Raph tries on all of these fits and more.

Donnie’s first choice is a mild “no.” Leo’s choice is a hard “NO.” (Not surprising, lol.) But then, the overwhelming consensus lands on Raph’s fourth outfit, which ended up being Donatello’s other pick for his brother.

So, in summary, Raph tried on his personal choice for an outfit, of which they rejected. Then, ultimately, Donatello picked out an outfit for his brother, and that pick ended up being perfect. Hmm…

Then I noticed something else. In this episode, we never get a Donnie “curtain reveal” moment, to our disdain. I mean, Raph, Leo, and Mikey got to try on several different outfits in order to get their brothers' opinions before landing on that “perfect outfit, you know the one.” All of his brothers got to shine. Why not DonTron?

Then it hit me.

The try-ons were to get their brothers' opinions and approval. And, for his brothers' choices, he was a major contributor in assisting them in pulling their looks together.

What if, bear with me, Donnie didn’t need the "curtain scene" because he was so confident in his fashion sense that he didn’t need to ask his brothers for help to pick out a great look.

…or they figured out how to break Hypno’s spell before he could get a “curtain reveal.” BUT STILL-

Look at his outfit choices in this episode. Some of his wardrobe changes were off-screen, but all of them were fire.

(I added the baseball cap pic because it makes me happy. I wish we'd seen more of that fit.)

To me, he makes some really smart choices for himself, pushing the envelope of what is expected and taking chances: an open collar with no tie for a “black tie” event, a beanie and spiked wristbands for their “gansta look,” no socks with loafers (a viral fashion trend that actually began in Africa) with old man slacks in his reclined pose. *muah* Chef’s kiss!

But Don’s fashion sense doesn’t just shine in this episode.

In “Reparin’ the Baron” the boys go to Draxum’s apartment. Leo and Donnie show up in some extra nice “Sunday Dinner” twin drip.

The gold is in the details. Everything Leo is wearing, Donnie rocks its compliment: for Leo’s round collar, Donnie’s is angled, for Leo’s blue shirt, Donnie’s is white, For Leo’s light slacks, Donnie’s are dark. Blah blah blah. It’s so good!

Look at the winter fit in Snow Day.

Again, Donnie is Leo’s perfect compliment. As a pair? Fire.

Donnie has “the eye.” I can go on and on with examples, but I’ve said all of that to say this…

In the future, we see that Donatello’s technology had major pull in the resistance. He had drone ships patrolling the skies. He built and designed Leo’s arm, Casey’s chainsaw-hockey stick, and Casey's mask. The list goes on…

But, when Donatello from the past see’s Casey’s clothing from the future, he says this:

We know about the “Genius Built” brand. We’ve seen that logo on all of his tech up to this point. But, here he didn’t just say “Genius Built.” He said, “Genius Built Apparel.”

“Apparel” is not a tech brand. “Apparel” is a fashion brand. Of course, tech is incorporated into the clothing, but still.

This means that past Donatello secured this trademark with plans of creating a fashion brand, comparable to the likes of Gucci, Ralph Lauren, or any other modern clothing brand, as a subsidiary of “Genius Built,” the tech company.

And why not? The evidence has been in front of us this entire time. He has a sharp eye for style, fashion, and trends. It is easily canon that he can sew. Splinter sewed their ninja garbs in “Insane in the Mama Train,” and there is a sewing machine in the house.

They already learned Ninjutsu through basically osmosis, so learning to sew is not too far-fetched.

And here it is, right in front of us, Casey’s entire ensemble, from mask, to weapons, to clothing, was made by Donatello in the middle of the apocalypse under the brand name “Genius Built Apparel.”

And that was just in the bad future. Resources were limited, they didn’t have access to much of anything in that broken world as they were survivors of a devastating Krang invasion. Yet, he created all of this.

However, now that they’ve changed the future, his future as a fashion designer is limitless. Think of what Donatello could produce with unlimited resources, unlimited technology, and unlimited creative freedom.

Tech genius. Clothing designer. Fashionista. Future Genius Built Apparel Owner and CEO. I’m sorry, but I have to call it...

Donatello Hamato of the present, of the bad future, and of the good future is a fashion icon, the likes of which the world has never seen. ○○○○

Update: I've decided to make this concept into a mini-comic series!

Suuuuuuuuper random (au, mundane)

Magnus, to Alec: "Would you like to go out with me sometime? And before you answer, I realize that I'm in a bit of a power position here, what with just having hired your sister to work for my company, so I would just like to make this clear. Your answer has no bearing whatsover over the employment and career status of Miss Isabelle. You can absolutely say no. I will not hold your sister as leverage or anything like that. In fact, Raphael would shoot me should I ever succumb to this level."

Izzy, whispering to Raphael: "He is kidding, right?"

Raphael: "No. He had that condition put into my contract."

Izzy: "Seriously?"

Raphael: "You get used to his brand of crazy eventually."

To all the vets and vet techs of the world:

If you just euthanized someone’s beloved pet, don’t stand right outside the door of that room to laugh and yell with your colleagues like it’s just another day at work. It might be that to YOU, but my world stopped and I didn’t appreciate hearing you laugh while I cradled my cat’s dead body and sobbed my eyes out.

Anyway, dear Dennis, the tech who came in at my request and took the IV catheter out of Monroe’s front leg for me: thank you for expressing condolences and mirroring the grief in the room. Thank you for gently petting her as you helped my mom and I put her in the bag we buried her in.

I remember your name because you were kind. I don’t remember the names of your colleagues who wouldn’t shut up.

Time travel shenanigans

so

din is yoinked from the future (not grogu era) and ends up joining the batch

he somehow ropes fennec into joining

and mayday

so shenanigans ensue

also they adopt grogu because HE NEEDS A HOME AND HE'S CUTE AND SMOL and din has no self control when it comes to foundlings

Based off a text post I made

~~~

Crosshair: I am working on this whole Good Guy thing, but anyone who cuts me in line at Starbucks deserves to have their kneecaps shot out, okay?

Din: *Kicks the door open, looking panicked* Crosshair: What did you do?! Din: NOBODY DIED! Crosshair: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!

Wrecker: What are you writing? Fennec: The government wants to know what kind of weapons we have in the house. I'm letting them know it's private information. Omega, looking over Fennec's shoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.

Crosshair: So we can either do something dumb that could very well get me injured or we can listen to Mayday and not do the thing, Fennec: Well there’s a clear right answer here. Crosshair: *proceeds to throw five packs of mentos into a barrel full of diet coke*

Omega: If I run and leap at Mayday, they will most certainly catch me in their arms. Omega, running towards Mayday: Coming in! Mayday: No! I’m holding coffee! Mayday: *Drops coffee and catches Omega*

Fennec: Ah, ready for another fantastic day of being better than Crosshair.

Tech: I didn’t even realize how sarcastic I was being. It’s starting to become a problem, I think.

Wrecker: What are your adjectives? Mayday: …You mean my pronouns? Wrecker: No, I know what your pronouns are! What are your adjectives? Mayday: …I dunno. What are yours? Wrecker: Noisy and chaotic! Mayday: I’ve never had something go from making no sense to making complete sense so quickly.

Omega, staring at Grogu in a cage: ...Why are they in a cage? Tech: Because they growled at me.

Grogu: *eating a cinnamon roll* Hunter: Cannibalism. Grogu: *confused chewing noises*

So, with my time on Tumblr I've noticed something interesting...

✨The Fashionista✨ is my most popular post.

And I understand why. I, too, relish in the idea of Donatello growing up to be the High Fashion Icon and Genius Built Apparel Owner/CEO we all know he can be! So, what if I told you that someone has decided to make a comic of that very idea...

And that someone is me. 💜

Why? Because he's Got The Goods. Coming this Spring...only @RiseStarKissOmega
