INTRODUCTION 😱😱😱

Hey y’all! I never did make an introduction post, so here we are! You can call me Toast! Or Leo, whichever makes more sense to you. I fancy myself an artist and writer, and if you need it, a therapist. My pronouns will be she/they, but again, if you see me as anything else, go ahead and call me by that. My age range is 15-17, and I think I’m hilarious.

I typically make traditional art, but I’m trying to get into digital art.

I’m a proud lesbian and my partner is so amazing <3 <3

I jump back and forth between many fandoms, but my main focus is on rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. My fav character is LEO and I believe LEOSAGI is the supreme ship.

I don’t always follow back, so I’m sorry if that’s something you hope for.

(more under the cut)

Some of my other interests include:

🍄 TMNT 2012 (second to rottmnt, mm and tottmnt are like a third)

🍄 Camp Camp (Dadvid supremacy)

🍄 the last kids on earth (Jack my adopted child)

🍄 Young Justice and Teen Titans (GO! Is honestly mid. Favorite character is Robin/Nightwing)

🍄 sonic the hedgehog

🍄 the hollow (not as into the fandom as I wanna be honestly)

🍄 Pantheon

🍄 rise of the guardians (not a Jack Frost simp I promise)

🍄 The owl house (Hunter yesss)

🍄 gravity falls (Dipper omg)

🍄 Voltron (LANCE)

🍄 high school musical the musical the series (movies are really mid, but RICKY MY POOR CHILD)

🍄 octonauts (SHELLINGTON)

🍄 wild kratts (Chris supremacy)

🍄 over the garden wall (oh potatoes, and molasses)

🍄 star vs the forces of evil (Marco Diaz is so relatable)

🍄 lost in space (will my precious baby)

oops that’s a lot. There’s probably more too. :/

Dni:

🍄 basic (lgbtq+ phobic, racist, pedo, proshipper, tcest, dteam + ws supporter etc.)

🍄 -13, 30+ unless I follow first

🍄 general weirdos

🍄 people who hate on my fandoms and ships

im taking art requests, and I’ll pretty much draw anything within my fandoms, just no tcest or proshipping or NSFW.

I’m also available for commissions if you’re interested. There are no set prices since I’m technically a beginner artist. Cash app.

check out my fanfiction, you won’t regret it, lots of angst.

im very fun to talk to, and my friends will say I’m neurodivergent. I will say though that I like in like, the latest time zone, so beware. If you read this far yippee! Im very accepting and if you need someone to listen dm me, if you really need advice I can try. You’re never a bother and I want to listen.

I love to play the guitar and piano, but have been slacking off lately. I like writing my own songs, and sometimes shitty poetry. I draw on the school desks and my mirrors.

When I was early on in my transition I got in a Lyft, and the driver was this big country guy. I was a little nervous so I just sat quietly in the back.

After a moment he changed the music on his phone to what sounded like a Hatsune Miku song. Curiosity got the better of me, so I finally spoke up and said “is this Hatsune Miku?”

And he said “Yep. You looked uncomfortable, and I know Transgender women like Hatsune Miku, so I thought it might help.”

I think about that interaction a lot.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”

WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

ghost stories are alarmingly easy to spread tbh

when I was like ten I was walking back from the chip shop near my gran's house with a neighbour and we took a short cut down an alley which was enclosed by garages except for one part which was wire fenced and led to the electricity shack

and while I was walking I chucked a chip over the fence. the girl walking with me, C, reasonably asks why I did that

"oh, don't you know?" I say, as if I'm not equally out of my own loop

she shakes her head. the enclosed alleyway has no streetlights. it's after dark. the shack is isolated in the distance.

"a little girl who lived up on the court climbed the fence once on a dare. she went up to the shack and touched it, but there was a wire sticking out, and when she touched it, she got electrocuted and died, right there. if you come back in the daylight, you can still see the black mark."

[editor's note: the court was the smaller road off the side of the crescent, which was the one C's family and my gran lived on. the houses there were slightly more expensive and newer, almost all occupied by wealthy commuters to the city, where most of the crescent houses were occupied by retirees and locals who worked on the trading estate. naturally, crescent kids hated the court. houses there got bricked about once a month.]

"no she didn't," C says

I made up this story for absolutely no reason and with no plan, but I'm not gonna back down now. "sure she did. and if you go past on your way back from the shops and you don't leave her an offering, she'll follow you home through the streetlights. one flickers behind you, then the next, then the next, until you get home. and then the lights start to flicker inside the house. even if you turn out all the electrics before bed, it'll be too late. she's inside. and you'll wake up on the night and see her, and she'll be so awful to see it'll stop your heart."

[editor's note: the streetlights always flickered. this was because our neighbour monkey george kept setting the junction boxes on fire]

"I never did before and she never followed me home!"

"do you come down the alley after dark? or do you take the main road with the streetlights?" I knew she didn't use the shortcut, because I'd been the one to talk her into it that night. she was three years younger than me and scared of the dark.

C claims not to believe me, but she throws a chip over the fence too, and walks the rest of the way looking over her shoulder. I get to pride myself for the night on being good at scary stories, and don't think much more about it.

fast forward six or seven years. I'm back in town. I'm on my way back from the chip shop, taking the same shortcut home. ahead of me on the road are a couple of kids I vaguely recognise as old playmates' younger siblings.

they stop, and I watch one fish out three sweeties from the pack they're sharing. they take one each and throw them over the fence. they carry on walking.

I realise that this is probably my fault, as are any resulting pest control issues around the old electricity shack.

when I get to the fence, I throw a chip over.

as an aroace person with limited sexual experience, no interest in watching porn, and poor sex ed as a teen, there IS something simultaneously funny and vaguely tragic about being 28 adult years old and realising how extremely tiny your frame of reference is for genitalia and deciding you should expand this to better understand bodies (yours and others). and then you're just there like "okay so what the fuck do I even google right now, anyway"

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

i think before you marry someone, you should sit down and go through the AITA subreddit with them and see what their take on those situations is

I get it, I really do, but I feel like ppl w decision paralysis related to Gazans are also suffering from a kind of non-malignant egotism

"who do I decide to give it to? everyone needs help! I can't help them all!"

You're not the only person they're asking!!!!!

If you choose one person to help that day, a bunch of other ppl choose others

stopping to overthink your inflated importance as an individual versus one in many is what's giving you paralysis

the more you burden yourself as an incapable hero the less you all act as a group-- which is the exact answer you're looking for
