Get to Know Me Better

Whoops -- @cassandralie tagged me and I’m sorry I didn’t see it! My notifs are All pornbots All the Time. But thank you!!! Three Ships: Ineffable Husbands and uh... 🤷 I’m vaguely into Steddyhands, and Stolitz has recently been shaking my brain apart. But honestly it’s gomens or go home lately 😂 First Ever Ship: um... probably Katara/Zuko from ATLA, but only because I was sheltered and I didn’t know people could be gay. Everyone who came up with Sokka/Zuko are so right 😂 Last Song: ........ lol I’ve been listening to Steeplechase and they use this guitar motif from a free music website. And I’ve got the song terribly stuck in my head, and now I’ve been listening to this random guy’s free guitar samples. They’re kind of banger. Last Movie: PALM SPRINGS!!! What an unexpected W!! Rocked my world, highly recommend it. Currently Reading: *looks at the books on my bookshelf* I don’t want to talk about it. Currently Watching: After a long break I am on season 3 of Yu Gi Oh, a show I have never watched before. It’s awful. I love it. My chosen blorbo is Bakura. Currently Consuming: It’s 10:30pm and I’m 26. The answer better be nothing.

Currently Craving: Vacation time 😴 I feel so awkward tagging people, so please don’t feel obligated to do this but... ziote, ineffable-houseplants, tenderonlytoone, and kitcat-italica I’d love to see your replies 👀

Unus Annus Analysis

Anniversary thoughts and theories!

Definitely think that their descriptions are supposed to answer to each other, not sure which way though.

“Time waits for no one.” “Not Enough Time.”

“Have You Forgotten?” “Too Busy.”

Or other ways around could work! I have a theory that perhaps this is Annus and Unus themselves questioning Mark and Ethan, Mark is “Too Busy” with his work to cast his remembrance to Unus Annus. Ethan didn’t have “Not Enough Time” to do so either. It makes sense.

The difference between Mark’s and Ethan’s videos were very drastic. Mark’s was playing with the clock ticking and somber music, Ethan’s was silent. Mark’s coffin was banging multiple times near the end, Ethan’s only banged once and it was sudden near the end.

I think that these separate distinct the personalities of Annus and Unus themselves. How Annus could be more persistent of “Multiple hits and keep going” and Unus is more fuel of “One and go.”

I personally don’t believe in Unus Annus returning, however I believe that something might happen, maybe when it hits 5 years since then. I presume that each videos from the years are a time base of each one.

Hence first they spoke to the audience about their experiences and what to come next after the Death of Unus Annus.

Then both Mark and Ethan visit Annus and Unus in their coffins for a talk about their lives.

Then both Ethan and Mark are speaking to each other about their experiences and things.

Then Ethan and Mark visit the coffins again to say as if a visit to their loved ones. Unus and Annus.

Finally until then of course, it’s more somber and quiet in Annus and Unus’ POV. We as the audience see their coffins.

Not very sure what the banging really means, Imma interpret it as a metaphor for how much time has really passed and Mark and Ethan are not in the videos like before. It’s Annus and Unus being the only noise that makes it out to the audience to keep remembering them and making themselves known.

Memento Mori.

Y'know, Unus Annus holds a spot near and dear to my heart. I miss those videos every single day. But I appreciate Mark and Ethan's message, that nothing lasts forever so you have to cherish the good things you have while you have them. I respect that message.

That being said, they never could have known that less than five years later we'd be sinking further into the corporate capitalist dystopia where all our favorite medias and memories are trapped behind streaming services and monthly fees and ads that nearly outweigh the quantity of the media we're trying to view.

I really do love Mark and Ethan's message, and I think it was a good one because I know they didn't just mean it about digital media, they meant it about your job and your hobbies and your friends and family and pets. But it's getting harder to follow when it feels like everything I own can be taken away from me at any moment.

Sometimes I fret over that idea, and I think about Mark and Ethan's message, and I tell myself maybe the message doesn't apply anymore and I miss their content so much. In an age where piracy is becoming more common again, I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find reuploads of their videos. But I don't, because I remember that Mark and Ethan had our best interests at heart, and these corporations like Max and Youtube and Hulu and Netflix and all the others don't. They're for profit, not joy or wonder or kindness or human decency.

I guess all I'm trying to say is memento mori. Remember the good things you have and cherish those things while you have them. But don't fool yourself for a second that just because you know nothing lasts forever and you're prepared for finite possibilities means that someone or something can just take the good things away from you. You deserve good things, and you deserve to be respected, and have your property, digital or physical, respected.

Okay, ow.

I don't think I actually talked about the videos besides the coffin. And there is a lot to say about personal experience and relation to what it means to me individually, or what was actually supposed to be meant here.

But simply, it just hurts. The anniversary truly snuck up on almost everyone. Everything seems so far away until it's actually here. But time doesn't wait for you to be ready. You either are or aren't. And you have to deal with that.

Memento Mori, Unus Annus.

Family members on their way to follow you into the kitchen For No Damn Reason:

[oasisofgalaxies]

The coffins were rattling in this years memorial videos. Which I’m sure could only mean nothing.

[witch-of-the-sands]

why do they have the piss straw out again????

[the-traveling-poet]

sorry in advance for reblogging so much unus annus

it cannot and will not be helped

[sylvermoths]

I was expecting anything but this for the unus annus anniversary video what the hell is happening

WHY IS THE CLOCK TICKING AGAIN did they gain more time ??

[dykecory]

is it weird that im so delusional about jeffdave, i got to see more clips yesterday and i genuinely believe there's something because fuck. you don't talk like that with just some friends., that's not normal friend behavior. their blatant almost direct flirting, they are doing this in our faces they know what they're doing.

dave joking about jeff spitting in his cock, jeff watching the stream on his idiot tv and like waiting for dave, their jokes all of their twitter interactions, how comfortable they feel with each other and the way they laugh when the other is around I hope im not developing any type of mental illness or some sort of conspiracy-obssesion because i cannot be making this up...... they're queerbaiting me god

i wish im not getting brain damage do you know how much this means to me i might take a hostage and blow up a building just to know if something REAL is there but tbh deep down i really know it..... jesus was killed for saying the truth

maybe they are aware of their relationship. maybe in a weird and not-so-aware way, like their bond is so close it has developed in something only both lf them can understand, they haven't even set they're dating and maybe that won't change, it's not your traditional couple, it's weird and it'd take a long time to understand it, and maybe,, they don't want people to understand......

THANK YOU WONDERFUL AND EVER SO ELDRITCH @chessman-protocol FOR LETTING ME DO THIS, IT'S BEEN SPIRALLING IN MY BRAINCRACKS SINCE THIS MORNINGS XD

Introducing the Covert Iteration of my Rottmnt oc: Jesse Burnham!

Jesse, in both the og and Covert Aus, is a scientist who works in the fields of bioengineering, zoology and robotics! In the og Au, her main goal as a scientist was to create robot animals so life like that you couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.

In the Cover Au, she achieves this goal earlier than expected, but instead uses them to work as spy-bots for the times where a mission has to be done discreetly, undercover. They're also mainly used for outside data collection as well!

The main bots that people will witness lurking around the organization are:

Eleanor the Ginger Cat: She's the one used the most for spying besides the incredibly amount of rat bots and Ant Queen bots, as there are very few people in the world that don't like a playful ginger cat. Out of her entire arsenal, she is the most indistinguishable bot from the real thing, so much so that even other cats will mistake her for being one of them, if only for a minute.

The only way you can really pick up that something is off about her is the lack of blinking, and the way other cats will avoid her like the plague.

Hunter the Jaguar: Hunter is less of a spy-bot and more of a combatant bot on the very, very (and that's two very's) few times that Jesse will be sent out onto the field.

He's the heavy hitter, agile and lithe. Not to mention the fact that he is entirely vantablack-the deepest black in the world- save for the soft gold glow between his plates, so it makes it frighteningly easy to lose him in the night or in dark, shadowy places.

Phoebe the Hawk: Phoebe is the most important one, being Jesse's most trusted companion and confidant, she is basically Jesse's right hand bird! She is the bot that does the most arial sweeps, mostly in order to locate any target who might be in broad daylight, but she also can be used to update any joint-tasked sectors on the status of the field from above.

Not to mention, Phoebe was Jesse's first successful project of life-like robot animals, so she holds incredible sentimental value to her.

Even though this isn't even half-not even a quarter-of all the robots she has manufactured, these three bots are by-far the most important ones to Jesse, tactically and emotionally.

One very important fact about Jesse, as well, is the fact that he's bigender!

His masculine days aren't as frequent as his feminine days, but either way he certainly uses it to his advantage! Switching between the two genders (whether or not he feels like one or the other at the time) has always been a reliable disguise for him if Jesse needs to get out and do some personal investigation himself that his animals are incapable of.

Jesse is a natural smooth-talker and liar, which helps with his job especially well!

Another important thing to mention, is that I'm not entirely sure if Jesse would be in any sector himself, or if he's a solo act within the organization. What I do know, is the fact that you are able to request the use of his spy bots no matter what sector you are in, but only at a certain price. (What the price is yet? Not sure, but it's not money, that's what I know XD).

It's very, very, VERY (that's three very's!) rare for sector 5 to ever need his spy bots, as most often than not their missions are combat based (I think??? Correct me if I'm wrong qwq), but I like to think on the very rare times they do need it and DON has to get it from him? All I gotta say is that Jesse shows no fear when it comes to the turtles.

There's a medical reason for that-

AAAAAANYWAYS I THINK THAT'S ALL I GOT'S TO SAY RIGHT NOW??? Other than the fact that I wanna make a few lil' comic pages of Jesse and Don interacting cause I wanna see how accurately I can display Don's personality. I just think they'd be neat :]

AAAAAND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME DO THIS MAN OF THE CHESS OF THE CHESS CHESSMAN, YOU WONDERFUL BEING OF MYSTERIES-

[unuora]

Yesterday I was at the store and a teenaged boy asked me for $7. I instinctively said no, and then had a whole crisis like oh my GOD what if this kid is STUCK here and he needs an Uber—

I went back and he was $7 short for TOTK. Ofc I bought it for him.

And then this morning I found $7 on the ground. $7 exactly. I feel like I need to tell everyone about this cosmic event. It’s like my first pin in my conspiracy theory board. Supernatural forces, karma, etc etc

I'M SPIRALING IN ALL THE WAYS GUYS.

[oasisofgalaxies]

Ok but. Is the coffin in one place year round? Or do they, like, put it in one of their garages until It’s Time. Do they haul that thing into the woods and just toss some dirt and shit on top of it before filming?
