Worrisome

"I'm worried about you." Worry. Thank goodness you're worried about me, you'd be the first. "I appreciate your concern." What now? We go on with our separate lives, the conversation forgotten. "Are you ok?" That's a trick question, "I'm fine." and that's a lie "Do you need to talk?" What good would that do "I'm ok." You're worried, isn't that enough? "If you ever need to talk, I'm here." But I'm not. And isn't that the problem? "Thanks." "I'm worried about you." "I know." I am too.

Everyone reblog this IMMEDIATELY

Everyone says that 2012 Leo and 2018 Leo are the most different, so how do they fit in with each other's families?

My first fanficion, posted on impulse at 1:43 am. 😎

I like playing a fun game called: "Is This A Crush, (In Which Case I'm Lying About Being Aroace), Aesthetic Attraction, Gender Envy, Or Very Strong Platonic Attraction (Wanting To Be In A QPR With Them)?"

It's the kind of game you can't win.

MY TMNT VER. OF RAPH !!

This was so much fun to draw omg😭😭

And as per usual with my posts, here are some other progress drawings!

This includes: the sketch, line art, base colours, then finally the edited base colours :3

I know I've talked about aro rage, but I feel equally strong about aro sadness.

the feeling of complete hopeless numbness at others expectations of you. the stifling feeling of society only recognizing people as living fulfilled lives when they're married with 2.5 kids and a white picket fence...

I can't always be angry, I don't have that much life left in me, so sometimes it just fizzles out to sadness and the indescribable feeling of loss when I realize I will never be seen by society as someone worthy of the respect all aro people deserve.

idk i just don't have the energy to feel angry all the time, so something in me is being slowly chipped away at.

You ever invite your coworker to watch you give birth just to spite a racist

My “draw the squad” memes so far

A full set for anyone who is in brainrot over the boys

Wow I can’t believe I’m the first person to like this post 

I found this camera on the subway and look what was inside...

Here's an art/info dump about this stupidly cute idea that's been rotating in my brain for three day.

(the first comic here is just how they first met. they ended up in the same alley, pestering the same cat without noticing. Then the cat left and they notice they're not alone lol)

(Second is Donnie 'talking' with Mikey for the first time. He only uses Mind Mend to communicate and is just as surprised as Mikey to find it worked on him. (it has only worked with Leo before this))

I'll put the rest under a break b/c i will be going off about this and i don't want it to take up your entire feed.

I'm jokingly calling this "Mikey's Imaginary Friends" though that might change if i continue this.

Basically it's this, the twins grew up with Draxum while Raph and Mikey grew up with Splinter. Neither set knew about the other (b/c splinter though they were dead and didn't want his two remaining kids to worry about it, and Draxum was too focused on fixing his lab to pay much attention to the twins.) So, imagine Mikey's shock when, at age 8, he's out exploring topside (having snuck out) and runs into two more mutant turtles (who also snuck out and are exploring.) Thus begins an ongoing sneaking out to meet up thing between the three b/c Mikey's excited to have new friends and the twins are just as fascinated with Mikey as he is with them.

And before you ask, "hey, why doesn't Mikey tell his family about the two other turtles?" he does. Raph thinks he just made up some imaginary friends so he plays along but doesn't believe they're real. Splinter, on the other hand, thinks he's talking to Hamato ancestors due to some very big miscommunications (that i'll probably draw out at some point b/c it's silly)

Twins background wise, i'm still thinking through a lot of it, but i'll put my thoughts down anyways.

Draxum knew that training the twins at a young age would be counterproductive, so he doesn't train them beyond some basics a few times a week. Other than those sessions, he leaves them alone with their less-than-stellar caretaker, in favor of rebuilding his lab. The caretaker doesn't do much for them beyond give them food and very basic school like lessons. Beyond that the twins are left on their own.

they come to the conclusion that the only people that will care for them is themselves. They discover Mind Meld very early as a result of this and will not talk verbally b/c they found out early on with their caretaker, that if they tried to talk, they were just ignored anyways, so what's the point.

(I'm also thinking Donnie might be deaf or hard of hearing in this, with the pair of them using Mind Meld as a way for him to temporarily hear through Leo and thus keep Drax from finding out. but i'll have to do some more research before i decide for sure/figure out the specifics)

as for Meeting Mikey

That's why they became so fascinated with mikey. B/c mikey was the first person that treated them like a person and not a job or an incomplete experiment. (He's also so happy and bright, they can't avoid getting drawn to him lol)

Mikey's probably the only one they verbally start talking to, even after they teach him mind meld. (though Leo's the one to pick up on that more than Donnie. Donnie doesn't do much talking at all outside mind meld).

They also come out of their shells (hehe) a lot as they interact more with Mikey. Before they met him, they acted more like automatons, even when alone. The more they socialize with Mikey, the sillier these two get. Leo learns about puns and starts going mad with them, Donnie starts happy stimming about thing (which he has either been suppressing or just never had the urge to do before.) Basically they stop acting like little creepy statues and start acting like kids.

Honestly, it's just a cute idea with the kiddos meeting each other and Mikey inadvertently socializing his not-well-socialized brothers.

(also, the twins wear masks b/c Donnie doesn't like the smell of the city and he's worried about germs. Not for any ninja reasons, what so ever.)

Alright, that's it for my info dump. maybe more later? Maybe not? Depends on how much longer these kids keep my attentions (though right now, they're doing a pretty good job at it lol)

the suffering never ends

OK

I have just finished watching shadow and bone season two and I have many thoughts, but non of my friends have read the books, just watched the show so I can’t really talk about it with them so here we go. With that said, major shadow and bone spoilers below. Proceed with caution. 

First of all, I accept that the books and the show are two different things, however, some of the book plots just made more sense and also I think it’s weird that the show just takes whatever part of the books they want which messes up the crows whole storyline. 

Alina is alive and not fake dead?? How are they planning on spinning that? And also I was really looking forward to the white hair Alina look because I feel like that was going to be really cool but they just.... skipped that? Also why did she and Mal split up? That made no sense to me. I feel like Alina should have followed Mal, because he’s spent his whole life following her and now it’s her turn. 

David??? My boy??? I’m not supposed to be sad about him now, I’m supposed to be sad later! That part really messed me up. 

One part I loved was seeing Inej and Jesper and Nina all meet for the first time, it was lovely to see the start of that friendship. But Nina and Zoya had basically no reaction to seeing each other? They just kinda, cut to them being in the same room and had a few comments that hinted to a backstory but that was it? 

I liked the Wylan and Jesper backstory better in the books, but I loved their interactions and story on the screen as well. I’m still mourning the loss of the “Just girls?” “Not just girls,” line, which sucks. 

Speaking of missing lines, how about Genya’s iconic “I’m am not ruined, I am ruination,” ? I’m glad she stood up to the queen, but why was the king just dead? 

I absolutely loved Tolya, anytime he brought up poetry I couldn’t help but smile. I’m glad he and Kaz had a poetry moment at the end. 

Also, the whole story in the Shu Han was so cool! I loved seeing countries other than Ravka and Kerch, and anytime a saint popped up in the story I happily grabbed my copy of the lives of saints and felt more connected to the show. 

I love Zoya in this season, I just love Zoya in general but it was easier to justify it to those who haven’t seen her full character with the way she acted during this season. I loved seeing her and Inej team up to take down the nichevo’ya. 

Kaz and Inej make my heart hurt. That’s all .

In terms of Nikolai, I can honestly say I have no complaints. I know his story differed from how it was in the books, but it felt better somehow, having him present throughout the whole battle and having to discover and fight his demon on his own after everything. I don’t know how he’s going to do that with Alina around, but we’ll see how that goes. 

Now for the kicker, the ending. I didn’t like the ending. The ending in the books is so much more poetical, despite Alina’s good intentions, she let her hunger for power get the better of her and she lost it all. She sacrificed everything for her country. Fought, bled, and killed for it, and it still took everything from her. In return, however, her power was given to others so they can continue on her legacy and relieve her of her great burden to destroy the fold. I probably didn’t explain it all that well, but I think it was much better in the books. 

When I tell you I jumped out of my seat and paced around the room for a good five minutes because I saw the bee on Zoya’s shoulder, I mean I fully jumped out of my seat and paced. I might have screamed a little bit as well. 

I’m exciting for the whole Jurda Parem storyline, although I’m not quite sure how they’re going to pull it off with the patchy mess they left of the crooked kingdom book after taking only what they want and scrapping the rest. 

I’m glad they made it Siege and Rising rather than have a whole other season for the third book, I think that worked well and while it felt a little rushed at times it fit the story. 

I loved the show, loved the books, and can’t wait to see what Netflix comes out with next.
