okay since this concept is living in my brain like bugs im throwing this out to the floor:
if you could insert an existing song into tmnt 2003, what would it be and where would you put it? here are some of my thoughts for example:
'one week' by barenaked ladies being perfect for a montage of the boys helping casey fix up the northampton farmhouse
'how's it going to be' by third eye blind is a perfect emo track for a quieter montage of raph wandering around the streets searching for splinter in lone raph and cub
'soul flower' by the pharcyde would be really fun for a rooftop training montage (so much better than 'runnin' free in nyc' even if there's no way it could ever play in a 4kids production 💀💀)
'owner of a lonely heart' by yes would be a really fun song for leo on a stealth mission against footninjas - basically a scene where the action times perfectly to the beats and riffs of the song
**LATE ADDITION because I can't believe I forgot: 'no scrubs' by TLC playing in the battle shell and the turtles shamelessly singing along word for word. It's diagetic sound. Donnie has a mixtape.
reply, reblog or put in the tags, I'd love to see

Benefits of having a cara in your party:
-completely loyal for only headpats and cuddles, no need to pay
-incredibly tough body & natural magic resistance
-highly skilled in magic attacks
-hunts for her own food
-can produce milk and occasionally eggs for food
-can lick any wound to heal it
-extremely soft
Drawbacks of having a cara in your party:
-low dexterity, intelligence and wisdom stats
-rare and hard to find
-will refuse to use weapons and armour that aren’t ‘pretty’ enough
-incredibly needy, requires a lot of attention
-extent of magical power is not yet fully understood, could be dangerous
-having a cara in your party is very taboo, with many calling it sacrilege against their own god/gods
-risk of falling in love with her

one thing i find really difficult about navigating the IF space is the direct line of contact between readers and authors. we share the same space, and i think that plays a big part in this weird blurred line we have in this community and overall lack of boundaries.
for a lot of people this is a fun hobby and while i personally try to keep it... semi-professional most of the time, it's easy to get wrapped up in having fun on tumblr (or the forums, or reddit, wherever it is that you mainly post/interact) and have a lot of personal interactions with both readers and authors alike - which is fun! i like it more often than not, but i also think that's why a lot of comments in this space can end up being really entitled, over-familiar, and inappropriate.
it's no secret that most authors get really weird messages on here, and while this is also a problem on social media at large and not just specific to IF tumblr, it is still definitely a big problem in this community.
and to be clear i'm not saying that you can't be friendly with authors or readers (i've become friends with a handful of readers myself) and i definitely don't mean to imply that there needs to be a huge divide between us; that's silly - again, most authors are readers, most readers are authors, we’re just people on the internet sharing the same space. but all of us deserve to have our boundaries respected. this is my story, and we are strangers. as a general rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it out loud to someone you just met, you probably shouldn't be saying it to a stranger online. especially anonymously.

YALL I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!!!!
Ok so I guess someone decided to go nudge the author and ask them about it and because I was still trying to decide on the solution I had an idea
what if we call the main brackets the chapters, right, but we have little side things called the authors notes?? (Because I’m an ao3 user axddfvge that’s of course what I think.)
these ‘authors notes’ will be surprise events that occur sporadically, and are only 24 hour votes. These can include fics that didnt make it into the main bracket or had left the bracket, along with ones still in the bracket!!
these won’t count against anyone for anything, but just might add a bit more fun and random shenanigans to the polls.
whenever someone “looses”, that feels mean to just kick them out, so I still want to be able to let them participate! Idk this just sounded like a fun idea, what do you guys think?
I’m just thinking this might be some jolly good randomness (as long as the surprise competitors don’t get stressed afgscgbw that’s not what I’m trying to do)

I really wanna understand your love for kieran culkin, I loved him in Scott Pilgrim.
Oh my god this is so nice you really don’t have to ask but I love that you did!!!!!!!!
I wish I had a less lizard brain answer to attribute the spark to but sometimes you need someone to do something sexual in order for your brain to unlock that interest in them and the Roman/Gerri phone scene takes the prize. When I rewatched the show I had zero recollection of the emotional scene that happens right after because apparently I blacked out lol. So then I’m watching the rest of the show through new eyes which of course leads to huh, I definitely love this character and am attracted to this being, but do I also love this person? Anon, he’s so lovable! The pro and con of Kieran & Roman is there is A Lot of Kieran in the character. Uh the best parts, we hope. He’s this secure short king with quick wit who talks fast and can require a bit of attention but is humble as heck about how good he is at his job and has this quirky decorated right appendage and isn’t afraid to crack jokes when someone broaches the subject of his irl family or politely shut them down when he thinks they’re off base about something. I love the little bit I know about him and his wife’s relationship and the way they can publicly poke fun at each other. I love that he lived in the same tiny apartment from 19 to 39 until his wife finally said “you’re on a hit TV show.” I love how sweet and diplomatic he is when someone tries to poke him about Jeremy Strong being weird. I swear you can feel interviewers become infatuated with him for being a real and funny, charming person. In conclusion, I think he's neat!
