Favorite thing that John Laurens did historically?

Guys, I gotta admit, for such a huge John Laurens fan (both musical version and historically) I barely know about ANYTHING he did irl other than write essays against slavery, recruit 3000 men for the first all black military regiment, witness wayyy too many of his siblings die, be in love with hamilton, and be a kickass soldier. (Oh and the whole marrying out of pity and then never visiting his daughter thing. And the sexism, but I'd rather not dwell on that -_-)

AND THE TURTLE DRAWINGS MUAHAHAHA (guys I'm kidding I know he wasn't actually obsessed with turtles, but he did love art and nature, right?)

WAIT I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING OMG-

So I once read a Tumblr post about historical John Laurens being left handed (there's an amazing depressedrevolutionariesinlove comic about this too !!), and more specifically about one time when he got injured in his right shoulder in the midst of battle, and just tossed his sword to his left hand and absolutely ANNIHILATED the soldiers he was fending off. Imagine their absolute SHOCK when they think they've won because "hahaha his sword hand is knocked out" and then BOOM he's even better with his left? 😂

I'd link the post if I remembered where it was from arghhh, possibly @john-laurens? (GREAT blog by the way)

I also read part of the SALTIEST letter from Laurens to Kinloch once, but unfortunately don't remember where I could find it or what exactly it was about, other than this man's passive agressivness was through the ROOF lol (does anyone know what I'm talking about?)

So, in hindsight after writing this essay (😭), I do know quite a bit about John Laurens... but I still feel like there's SOOO much I don't know (and plz correct me if I got anything wrong in this post!) Also, I'd LOVE to hear any funny or notable stories you guys have about him!! :D

What's your favourite historical John Laurens moment (moots and random people who see this)??

Maybe we could make a chain!!! :DDD

Also just a lil note in closing, my favourite thing about him historically is probably his bravery, passion for justice/abolitionism, and love for hamilton because live laugh lams <3

Eddie crushing on a girl and then after a long time he finally gets to see her naked and he can't help but say "oh wow" all soft cause of how breathtaking he thinks she is..............

eddie munson x gn!reader

tw: cursing, perceived nudity

Eddie Munson’s head over heels dumb for you the first moment he sees you, before you’ve even spoken a word — and he knows already that when he does get to talk to you it’s gonna melt him like smooth chocolate on his tongue.

In fact when he finally gets the guts to approach you — leaning against the side of your car with books cradled in your arms — he tries to play it cool when he rests his hand against your vehicle to prop himself up, just by your shoulder, but truth be told your first uttered syllable (Hi!) had just made him that weak in the knees that he needed the support.

After that, he couldn’t stop thinking about you.

Well, he already couldn’t stop thinking about you — but now he could put a voice to all those imagined scenarios and it made it so much harder not to daydream about resting his head in your lap while you told him about your day and stroked his hair.

Couldn’t stop stealing glances when you weren’t looking. When he thought you weren’t looking —because of course you’d noticed the boy from Hellfire Club looking at you all the time. Of course you were looking, too.

Even when you guys started ‘hanging out,’ (both of you too nervous to say dating) Munson couldn’t believe what he’d landed. Couldn’t stop gazing, had to keep reminding himself you were real and you liked him too and you really truly wanted to spend every moment of your days with him.

How could he not?

It was the way everything about you was just, right. It was so easy to get lost in appreciating the way your soft hair fell around your face when you hung your head over your current focus, brushed away occasionally to show concentrated eyes lightly hooded, obscured by dainty lashes.

The way — christ, just the way you breathed; everything about you was so gentle and he often found himself just watching the steady rise and fall of your shoulders, or the smallest jerk when you sniffled. When you’d pull in a steady deep breath he’d watch them riiiiise and then relax as you exhaled, finding himself to be subconsciously breathing with you.

The way when you looked up to catch his gaze, a little blush would spread over your nose and cheeks and your smile would reach and fill your eyes, crinkle the corners, and you’d giggle — god that little laugh made him weak; made his eyes soften and made his hands ball up with the ache of wanting to run them all over you, use them to still your cheeks so he could kiss you.

And when he finally does kiss you…

His tummy does somersaults, fireworks behind his eyes, a longing buried in his bones — a longing for you. A longing to tangle himself with you, hide away in your presence and live there forever; he wouldn’t have pulled away if not for his head swimming for air. That soft, heady gasp that you breathe against his puffy red lips eliciting a murmured groan from Eddie as he dips back in and sinks into your soft, soft skin.

He learns quickly after that — after finally getting to kiss, to touch you, Eddie learns that you harbor an equal hunger for him. He learns that when he kisses you you melt, you have to find purchase against him, you need him to hold onto you tight lest you pool at his feet. He always notices that your hands fist into his shirt, that when you pull away for air you’re gazing at his lips for more, that when he teases his tongue against yours it makes you mewl into his mouth as your eyelids flutter.

Eddie knows he needs to take it slow, needs to be careful with you. He wants you to feel safe, wants you both to feel like it’s right — that you’re both ready.

It’s one of those nights at his trailer — alone together, hidden away in the hazy-warm glow of Eddie’s bedroom; it had started as distracted kisses during Exorcist but now Eddie has you propped up in his lap with his hands smoothing slowly over your thighs, yours knotted into the front of his shirt as you sigh pleasantly into his mouth.

Eddie’s been happily following your lead, but when your hold on his shirt turns into a tug — when you do that little grind with your hips — he bites back a groan and stills you, nudges his nose against yours.

“You g— you gotta calm down, baby,” he breathes, and in turn you fuss impatiently.

“Ed lemme, I wanna~” it’s all you can muster in a whine, foggy with need as you pull at his shirt again.

He huffs laughter but it’s drowned out as you kiss him again, before he allows you to pull off his shirt.

It’s an awkward shuffle as you both move about removing each other’s clothes, trying to steal kisses in between tossing things aside, bumping and fumbling and little curses and soft laughter — awkward but you’re both so comfortable with each other it’s easy at the same time; you’re in no rush.

Certainly not when Eddie finally, finally has you bare, now beneath him with your knees pulled up between his, shyly hiding your crotch while your fingers fiddle together at your chest. You look at the ceiling, the walls, Eddie’s hair. But when you hear him say,

“Oh… wow…”

His voice is so, so silken and gentle that you whimper and blush, biting your lip quickly to swallow any further sound which prompts Eddie to cradle your cheek in his hand, thumb brushing a line over your lips to ease them, encouraging you to relax, to look at him.

When you do, your muscles lax under the heady puppy-eyed gaze of Eddie, viewing you with such bare affection and tenderness like he was first realizing his most favorite work of art, hearing his favorite song the first time, weighted in place with need to appreciate the shape of you for as long as he possibly could.

He’d be embarrassed to admit how often he’d thought of this but he never realized he’d be so taken off-guard by how god-damned breathtaking you are.

You look at him too — the tousled curls that hang around his face as he leans over you, falling over shoulders that are stronger than you’d thought, arms that are thick but gentle with you. And those eyes. So intense the way he looks at you and it makes your heart pound, makes you tremble a little but with the need for him to touch you more.

“Pretty Eds,” you murmur shyly, reaching up to push fingers into his hair which he leans into, raising his brow as he laughs.

“I’m pretty?! Sweetheart every time I blink lookin’ at you is fuckin’ wasted time,” he breathes it softly and you giggle but it tapers into a shy mewl as you pull your hand away and hide your rosy face in your palms.

“No no no!” Eddie eases with an audible grin, gently prying away your wrists and holding them together into the sheets above your head, his other hand at your knees still pressed together.

“Please don’t hide that sweet face away.”

no but i’ll never get over radovid saying song of the seven is his favourite, like apart from the hidden message, how. the entire idea of radovid being a fan in a world without sound recording is funny enough, imagining he forces the bard of tretogor to play his songs up and down, but that song? the bard will show up at his party like “there’s a new song my grace but uuuh i’m not quite sure” and radovid’s like “you know your orders my man” and then he performs this non-humans rebellion song with a red face and all the nobles at the party are extremely uncomfortable but radovid just claps excitedly in his fake-drunk demeanor and yells “AGAIN!!!” and then headbangs to “WE WILL RIIIIISE” like an absolute madman while the bard’s voice is shaking with fear of the guards telling the king about this. and the nobles just think that he’s an absolute imbecile while he’s fetishizing the uprising of the oppressed to cope with his own confinement forcing him to pretend to be a drunken fool. i am obsessed.

promoting my tucksis agenda https://www.tumblr.com/hidingoutbackstage/750054059235590144 they have such good moments i’m crazy abt them 💖💖💖

TUCKSIS NATION RIIIIISE! They were such a weird part of season 16 and 17, every scene was either perfect and beautiful or made me glad it was retconned. More former wild children forced into responsibility and struggling with losing such a big part of their identity! Less Kai as a fucking therapist!

Like, everything up until the Cyclops was sooo good! They bonded! They met at a time they were both young and dumb! Then met again when they had matured to a point they were still compatible! That’s some S O U L M A T E shit right there!

If I’m being petty for a second it’s not RTs fault they aren’t a more popular ship! They’ve legit been hit bad by the fandom because Kai is a woman. My fics of them are brewing and they’re going to be SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE

RiseXIDW Crossover

So I’m always writing or picturing TMNT stuff in my head all the time. I’ll write and animate crossovers in my head. I’m currently writing/imagining a Rise IDW crossover in my head. Here’s a little scene from it that I thought was hilarious. Here’s a little context first: Two rise turtles got captured by the Mutantimals (because I love separating the turtles and having at least one held hostage for some reason) We’re at issue 110 (I think) and IDW Leo is sneaking into the Mutanimals facility to eventually overhear Hob ordering Stone and Night to infiltrate the Splinter Clan dojo. Now let’s get onto the scene :)

Leonardo made his way to the room the bulldog had told him to go to. Everything is going to plan, the blue-masked turtle thought as he slipped through the dimly-lit hallway. He was almost there when he heard some obnoxious singing. Normally, the ninja wouldn’t stop just for annoying singing, but something seemed to pull at him. Leonardo tried to shove down the feeling and continued on. However, before he could take another step, the lyrics to the song brought him to a halt. “Go ninja, go ninja, go!” The voice sang, the sound vibrating through the hall. There was a pause before another voice started singing. “Go ninja, go ninja, go.” The new voice sounded flatter and quieter than the last one. Leonardo thought he could also hear beatboxing in the background. What the shell is going on? The turtle thought crossly before turning back down the hall. Are the Mutanimals trying to make fun of ninjas or something? He meant to continue on, but the first mysterious singer’s words stopped him once more. “Riiiiise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Rise baby, rise baby!” Whistling joined the song at some point. The second voice started singing. “Donnie and his backup turtle!” This made Leonardo’s heart race. Why were they singing about Donnie? And wasn’t a teenage mutant ninja turtle exactly what he was? “Heroes in a half-shell, turtle power!!!” The voices sang together, the last few words echoing into silence. Until the peace was shattered by the pounding of hands on metal. “SHUT UP YOU TURTLES!” Someone screamed. “Or I’ll tape your mouths shut!” Leonardo had an inkling of who might be singing. Don’t worry, guys. I’ll come back for you.

And that’s it! Can anyone take a guess at who’s captured and annoying the shit out of the Mutanimals? 😉

Hiii I saw your tags on my post and!!! You are actually right on the money with the thought of Giroro and Momoka being pals in the human swap au I mentioned! (woah! same thought process!) he'd totally have his tent on the lawn of the mansion. I can see it! The idea of Giro finally being coaxed inside only for him to just set up his tent on the floor somewhere is also funny to think about. The road to domestication is a long one.

for your curiosity, my working ideas for the swaps are:

dororo with saburo

giroro and momoka

fuyuki and kururu

natsumi and tamama

and then keroro with koykui.

i think the first few swaps are fairly solid but i gotta think some more on what a dynamic between keroro and koyuki would be. (i thought about just keeping keroro with the hinatas but then it wouldn't be much of a change from canon) (must make it so silly)

LET ME TELL YOU i havent stopped thinking about this au idea since you brought it up in these tags. its SOOO GOOD for giroro and momoka i think the nishizawas would make him sit down in the white stool and chairs they show in some episodes n he would have tea parties with momoka n be sooo grumpy about it. this cute fancy life is sooo not for him!! but when momoka would go into her angry mode he would CHEER HER THE FUCK ON. RIIIIISE. RIIIISE. i also thought of tamama and natsumi because their contrast is so silly (someone who idolizes keroro vs his #1 hater) and it does make me wonder if natsumi would have any influence on tamamas opinion of keroro i love seeing fuyuki and kururu together in the rare times that it happens (episode 134..... so perfect!!!) so they would be so perfect as an official duo. i think kururu would probably help fuyuki be less of a pushover + fuyuki would be SOOO interested in all the things kururus working on and tinkering with im suprised that i havent seen a swap au before to be honest.... i am SOOOO on board for one its so much freakin fun

The Vengeful Phoenix

Is it bad that I find Fecto Elfilis hot? Like, legit my first reaction to seeing it was “Oh my god, they made the final boss HOT! My worst weakness, AESTHETIC ATTRACTION!” Let’s just stay Chaos Elfilis was even worse on that regard. As someone who’s bisexual and homoromatic, non-binaries are not excluded from my feminine preference. Let’s be honest with ourselves, Elfilis fits all the criteria of Kirby’s designs for females. Long thick legs? Check! No waist? Check! Markings around the face imitating make up? Check! Glad to see they aren’t making ALL those designs female, ENBIS RIIIIISE!

If it isn’t clear; I love Fecto Elfilis and Chaos Elfilis, their design are so good, their backstory just hit me so hard in just the right way, and god do I swoon for the sexy rat alien. FORGIVE MEEEEE FOR I SIIIIMP!!! After beating the final arena, I wanted to celebrate by drawing the fiery science experiment. So, I whipped this up in, like, 3 days… THEY ARE VERY HARD TO DRAW, OK!? I’m not sure what was harder, beating the Ultimate Cup Z, or drawing that spear. It’s so pretty and detailed and I love it, but GOD it was PAAAIIIN! But my goodness was it all worth it! Expevially the wings, they were hard, but I loved stylizing them and they look AWESOME! Chaos Elfilis really reminded me of a phoenix, and with their whole color pallet and connection to fire, I wanted to go hard on the fire themes. Also couldn’t help but put morpho in there, lil butterfly dude checking this dumpster fire out. Tweaked its design just a little bit, me thinking it looks pretty nice. Oh yea, just if your curious, the text is “And here we are” in KatFL’s language.

Tl;dr, I simp for Elfilis and I’m sorry
