#they yearn for the shell..

[mav-the-artist]

this was based on an idea my friend had lol

baby dedusmuln finds his first shell, a paper cup :3

[anotherlimb]

The story of the boy who became very small and climbed into a shell and followed the twists and turns growing smaller and smaller following and following until he reached the very heart of the shell and lay down to dream. He dreamed a very beautiful woman was lifting the shell to her ear to listen to the roar of the ocean which was his own heart rising to the surface from out of the depths as if she were calling him forth from out of the depths and he woke and he climbed and climbed and twisted and turned and searched until he found the bridge that led to the woman’s own inner ear and he was drawn into the folds of this ear until he was entirely inside her and started to grow and grow until he was her and gently placed the shell unto the sand and turned toward the ocean and smiled.

I didn’t have the energy to say this yesterday but the reason Donnie is so girl-pilled is partly related to that “woman in STEM” joke I made, except with his brothers. It’s that sensation of walking into an engineering course and being the only chick—that kind of understanding that you’re the outlier, and failure isn’t a reflection on you as a person but you as a concept. Of what you are. Donnie struggles naturally with mystic. He’s always racing to catch up. When he fails, like with the Shredder, in his mind it’s a reflection on what he stands for (i.e. his tech) whether he likes it or not. Donnie already expresses a sense of disconnect from his family (middle-child nonsense…). It’s similar to the feeling of being a girl in a “boy’s club.” Fighting an uphill battle while the others are already at the top.

It’s also really important to realize here that Donnie, like women in STEM, is SOO talented. He is so so talented. But Donnie’s relationship to mystic kind of parallels being looked at all your accomplishments and still being asked “And what else?” At least to himself. But it’s kind of the same thing where you have to prove yourself beyond what your peers do because it doesn’t feel like you have the privilege of proving yourself as a person rather than as part of a fight against a stigma.

Under a more realistic real-world lens, I do think a few of his insecurities would come from being autistic, and that would be a sort of thing he feels he has to work to make up for in a sense. Because his autism has never been treated as a setback in the show, I think assigning him Girl is kind of, a natural way of putting those feelings to a more tangible idea. But that’s the general reason why people code Donnie as Girl, I think. Anyone who’s not a cishet white male has experienced that feeling at least once, and I think it’s recognizable in Donnie as a character.

(The only thing I can’t extend this metaphor to is POCs in general having to go above and beyond in their fields, just because they’re all POC anyway—plus, Mikey and Raph are coded stronger than Donnie, and Mikey in particular never has a moment of doubt when it comes to his abilities.)

WAIT THIS IS REALLLL im thinking about the way her brothers tend to treat her when it comes to her being kind of,,, sensitive and thin-skinned too (even though they can be like that all the time). it kind of speaks to the way a lot of trans girls describe growing up, with people being able to tell that there's something different about them and they're not really a boy and etc. maybe those were the vibes i was getting that made it cross from boy with feminine interests/kind of an effeminate personality to tgirl...,,,

ugh now im thinking about jonathan flunking his junior year so bad and taking his do-over & extra credit classes over the summer and robin (proclaimed genius, still sucks at actually turning in the damn work) is there and they kinda awkwardly dance around being acquaintances at first but they learn they have so much in common with their media interests :') it would be a little cheeriness to jonathan's day when he can be a snobby filmbro with robin for a few hours a day, and when they start hanging out outside of classes he's so happy he knows someone like her because it loosens his trust issues that people dont get him and it lowkey does the same for robin as well. and they both have the same fuckass bob

Midnight Burger spoilers ahead. I think some of you House MD folks might actually enjoy it so mind the post

Thinking about how Caspar’s choice to launch Ava into space changes his trajectory so much. It’s that violent reaction to needing consistency that opens him up to the possibility of change. That he’s the only one who could’ve helped Ex and also the one least likely to help her and most terrorized by her existence.

Thinking about how via Ex, the Leifs, Ava and a couple other things, we have explicit statements of how stuff for Our crew is changed vs in other timelines.

That your worst decision could be your best catalyst. That the dynamics you thought were set in stone might be clay after all. That people will surprise you, and you’re a people.

That leaps of faith are, well, kind of everything.

Hi how are you ?

I found you by chance from ao3 I fell in love with your writing immediately.

I was wondering Are you not updating good luck babe anymore ?

Hi! I'm good! And thanks so much! That makes me really happy to hear! I am still definitely planning on finishing GLB! It's just a little bit harder to find the time to sit and write these days. When I started my fics, I was just exiting grad school and had little social stuff to do outside of that. While I'm happy it's changed, I am sad it doesn't leave me with a lot of time for writing fics. I usually plan chapters in small chunks but write each on in a single sitting which is like a whole day, and I usually don't have a single day off I can dedicate to it anymore. That being said! I have started chipping away at the next chapter because of your lovely message! I might be a bit rusty after such a long, unexpected haitus but hopefully you will enjoy it!

i never understood c.ai and i don’t think i ever will. isn’t fandom meant to be cooperative and social, regardless of what art gets made? so what is the point with talking to a character bot instead of just looking for people to rp with? from what i’ve understood it’s a lot harder nowadays to find dedicated rp forums and servers but to substitute that with a robotic black box that can’t have watched and understood the source material….. what’s even the point?
