#vote for the blueberry!!

[chatxkilluaxnoir]

Alright, I am bringing some 2012 Leo propaganda.

I will try to have 2003 and 2012 Leo win until the end man (even though, like I said, no matter what happens; they win in my heart. As does everyone else), so let's get started on that. No one will ever say I didn't fight for my boys:

Alright, first link. This one just shows a badass and awesome 2012 Leo in his black outfit and makeup, after he had just beheaded Shredder's ass (the post also had another Leo stan being happy too). Here is that post:

Here is the screenshot used in that post, in case you decide not to click on that post above and because the picture(s) aren't showing up like they had in the past (I would all highly rec. you do so btw, please!). So here is awesome, scary, but also, hella tragic 2012 Leo, because him doing this is both awesome, but also so sad, killing The Shredder, who deserved it so hard:

Look how badass he looks!!

Here is another post (by the same person as the other post I linked) with some good analysis on Leo and also has them freaking out and chewing on their arm about. Leo is truly such a great and tragic character. He deserves all the good things!:

It talks about 2012 Leo's loss of innocence over the series.

Here is the picture of that poster chewing on their arm about what they said in that post (again, this picture is already in that post, but it is not showing up here, so I am copying and pasting it again:

Both of these two posts I linked above are credited to:

toothlesshat. Their name aren't showing up in the links, so I thought to credit them in this way at least, besides the links themselves.

Just a funny meme post about Rise, 2003, and 2012 Leo; that suits them all so well and made me laugh! One of the best uses of this meme I have seen, and one of the most accurate imo!!:

Here is a clip of 2012 Leo having Cain Instinct against 2012 Raph (with 2012 Mikey trying to break them up at then end, lol), and just being such a big bro/eldest bro, man. Seriously, this clip is so funny, man. Watch it, please, it is great:

And here is a post that goes over how just Leo in general, is actually one of the more violent and murder-y turtles, since the 80's man. It is the Leonardo Hamato Instinct; which misteria coined (who has some of the best TMNT content and other stuff too, btw, check them out!). Which is basically Leo being very violent and very protective and murderous and just, Leo, man!:

The next two posts are two posts by the same person, with very good 2012 Leo analysis; super rec. reading those posts:

Here is the first one:

As you can tell from the gif (is that what you would call the above?) they used, Leo is also, just a very silly boy. /affectionate

And here is a 2nd post by them:

Good posts both of them; please read them if you can!

A cute headcanon post about TMNT 2012 Leo and Raph being twins!:

(Picture not showing up again, so I am copy and pasting a picture from the post I am linking. Remember, all the pictures that are showing up, are apart of the posts I am linking in some form):

A funny and interesting post about Leo's moral compass (would also really rec. reading the tags on that post; mainly mine. But just in general):

(Their name isn't really showing up in the link, so the above link belongs to: hpnotfound and there is also a reblog by junsei-draws-rotasu (really rec. checking out this user, they are really cool, been following them for awhile) and tags by me)

Here is another clip, but this time of Leo being an utter dork. He loves Dracula, Van Helsing, and Monsters and stuff okay:

Leo is cooler than Van Helsing, that he is!

(The above clip and link belongs to tmntclips. You see stuff about my blog and reblog(s) of this, because I am copying the link from my a reblog from my blog).

I can't seem to fit anymore links and pictures in this, so I will do another post/reblog (probably), adding more stuff later. But for now, take this offering. And vote for 2012 Leo (and 2003 Leo too, if you want)!! My boy Leo, deserves the world.

[jensownzoo]

Okay, time to start the day of jam making/canning!

First up are peach based varieties: peach with cinnamon, peach with ginger (homegrown ginger!), and peach with raspberries.

I only have a few pounds of peaches so the jars will be small and the flavorings added to each jar to infuse the base recipe over time, which is the easiest way to do multiple flavors in small batches.

A lot of people really loved my latest one-shot (Searching), begging for a part two if I don’t get enough votes to make it a fanfic. To help those people out, I decided to draw Bluebell and her and Blue’s quadruplets! Aren’t human\skeleton babies adorable? Esmeray looks most like her mom, Garreth like his dad, and Adalinda and Leomaris look like both! If you wanna read the one-shot, then here’s the link:

welcome to the 2023 tumblr poetry smackdown

tumblr has developed something of a canon of poetry over the past couple years, and i figured others might enjoy getting a chance to voice their opinions on a few of those poems! poems i chose for the poetry smackdown had to be more or less widely read on tumblr (generally 10k+ notes, most with more or spread across compilations), and relatively short so as to make voting easier. they also had to be complete—there are a lot of popular lines floating around on tumblr that are excerpted from very long poems and/or poems that are inaccessible via internet, and those aren't included here. a handful of poets are represented here twice reflecting my sense of their popularity, but i arranged the bracket in such a way that it won't be able to stay that way past round 2 at the latest. if i missed a poem that is super popular i'm sorry, that said the bracket is staying as is because this was a shit ton of work to put together and i don't want to. ty.

you can get to the polls by following the links below or going to the #round1 tag on my blog. you can also send me propaganda if you want via ask and i'll post it/add it to the next round's post if the poem wins.

happy voting!

sincerely amelia @poetriarchy :)

[sexhaver]

ive always been fascinated by kinks/fetishes that can be traced back to a specific piece of media consumed during childhood. i can never find the post and googling it would put me on watchlists, but i keep thinking about whoever said "inflation fetishes are like Mormonism, in the sense that they aren't inherently any more ridiculous than any other fetish/religion, but the ability to trace their origin so precisely (Violet Beauregard eating the blueberry gum in the 1971 Willy Wonka movie/Joseph Smith Jr wanting to bang his friends' wives and daughters in 1829) makes them uniquely easy to ridicule".

all of this is just a long lead-in to the following question: what single piece of media has sparked a kink/"awakened something" in the most people? personally my vote goes to Twilight Princess, that had imp midna AND furry link

Name: Grass

Debut: Super Mario Bros. 2

Hey guys! Did you know that Super Mario Bros. 2 was originally a reskin of a game called Puck-Man, but they changed the name so people wouldn't vandalize the cabinets and make it say Q*bert? Anyway here's Grass

I hope you like Grass. I hope there are some ruminants among our readers who get so hyped upon seeing a depiction of grass. But I don't care about the grass itself. I care about what's underneath... Funny Vegetables! The kind to throw at a Shy Guy or a Tweeter! Let's look at each Vegetable's NES and SNES design, and discuss them!

Turnip is the most iconic of the These Vegetables. Not the most iconic vegetable, but the most iconic Mario Vegetable. It's the main one that gets referenced, reappears as of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and is even part of Peach's Smash moveset! Where they make even more variants that I don't feel like getting into here for the sake of post length. I quite like Turnip's classic brow(s), though they would be removed, along with the mouth, in future iterations. Such is brand identity.

In Minion Quest and Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Shy Guys' main method of attack is throwing turnips! I like that a lot. It references their debut and is just a very whimsical thing!

I would expect to pull up a turnip from the ground, but lookie here! A couple of Fruits. It's unclear if these are pumpkins or bell peppers, and they come in red and green, which are both options for both fruits! Neither of the options, however, grow underground, so maybe they were playing hide-and-seek. It would explain their surprised expressions! They thought that was such a good hiding place, and it was! Also, I am not averse to calling these fruits vegetables. "Vegetable" is just a culinary term, referring to a part of a plant that we eat! Every fruit is a vegetable. Blueberry pie is a Vegetable Dessert. Words are fun!

Beet is the happiest vegetable we've seen so far! But oddly thin. I hope it's not malnourished! If it is, it's still optimistic, and that's commendable. Maybe it's happy because it was voted Most Likely To Be Pickled in the vegetable high school year book! (Cucumber was homeschooled)

Beet was so thin, and now Parsnip is so wide! It feels like their colors should have been swapped, maybe. But a Parsnip Muncher would delight in having so much more to munch here! A parsnip you could eat like an apple! I am not sure what Parsnip is thinking, with its very neutral expression. If I had a nickel for every time I couldn't tell what a parsnip was thinking, I'd be rich!

Tomato is my favorite! It's SO happy! The biggest smile around! So happy to be a tomato! Maybe it's thinking about how everyone loves tomatoes and how versatile they are! Maybe it's happy because THIS fruit is never buried underground- this and the following vegetable only appear from the Dream Machine during the final boss battle against Wart. I guess Wart doesn't like tomatoes. So not everyone does... but phooey to him, because he's a Bad Guy! We goody two shoeses love Tomato!

Finally, last but not least, is a quite interesting vegetable! This one is a bit mysterious, a bit ambiguous. Ambiguous whether it's an onion or a garlic. Ambiguous whether it's wearing thick glasses, or it has wide, pupilless eyes. I'm going to claim this vegetable as non-binary, and also establish "onion/garlic" as a binary. And then all humans will become non-binary...! What I can be sure of is that this allium looks like a nerd. "According to my calculations, my presence serves to enhance the flavor of any culinary delight!" Ok, dork! I love you.

So these have been Vegetables! I hope you liked them! And I also hope you like them in real life, That's Health! This post was funded and approved by the FDA. Can I say that? What are they going to do about it? Sue me? Kill me? Hopefully neither!

Turnip is horrified by this turn of events.

Poll 15, Round 2.

About Turnip: (by @s0larsyst3mm) Turnip is a mute lil six year old, who is someone you should definitely put a bell on. Unless you like being jumpscared by a tiny hedgehog (why would you?) He likes to spend time near plants... although, ironically, he doesn't like turnips. He considers it as cannibalism.

About Blueberry: (by @the-gay-ghost-king) Blueberry is a fun little ball of energy. With a wild imagination on her side, she's always coming up with new fun games to play. She's fierce, always doing anything to keep her friends, and especially her little sister, Biscuit, safe from harm. No one's quite sure how she came to exist, not even her parents. However, Sonic firmly believes she was brought by the storks (/j)
