==================DOGI

G   :   GIFT.   is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?

Dogi is someone who likes buying gifts, I'll put that out there right out of the gate. For someone like him who travels so much it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he buys a lot of souvenirs or things that he thinks are interesting. So, yes, he is good at buying gifts.

The trouble, if you want to call it that, is maybe he's not buying the right gifts for people. His tastes for what someone may enjoy may not always be on. But hopefully that doesn't take away from the thought of it. When he's buying for someone he likes or appreciates it comes from a place of I can see them using this or wearing this then hoping for the best.

Kinda like those glass beads.

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

Yeah! He loves that stuff! Whether it's choking out his buddies or getting hugged by someone in an affectionate way. I wouldn't go so far as to call him touch starved, but he doesn't shirk away from being touched or patted or anything similar. You should hug him but you can also expect to be hugged back in one of various ways.

Bonus of being such a big guy is what he's capable of in a hug. Most of the time it'll be a one arm endeavor, where you get looped and pulled in a lil. Or you get the 'clam' treatment where he uses both and leans over to embrace.

Or. If you're close enough. And small enough (not difficult) you get the ULTRA hug. Which is being picked up in one arm while the other hugs around you. I know. Crazy.

==================HELLAGUR

M   :   MOONLIGHT.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

Refined tastes from this man. Is that at all surprising? And it wasn't all that different when he was young either. Scheduled. Classy. And something that is hopefully enjoyable by both partners. He likes to dress sharp and do all the gentlemanly things to impress a woman. Open doors. Pull back chairs. Set the table a bit. Compliment attire.

There's an environment in dating in that scenario that is so relieving and refreshing compared to the gruffness of the military and to a degree some of his upbringing. It doesn't all go away of course. Again, he likes a schedule and a plan for the evening. This serves to make sure both parties are excited and anticipating it and to make sure time isn't wasted.

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.....

[coollyinterferes]

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…
