#Turquoise Rambles

[frostedturquoise]

Honestly i just need reality to feel a little less fake so my brain is actually productive over making shrimp noises because i made the mistake of taking my meds every day the past two weeks because im on two flavours of reuptake inhibitors apparently. (which was fun to find out if i am being completely honest because i found out the funny way of someone else offhandedly mentioning it.) Which has been not so great really. And im all like '??? Do normal people feel like this just a bit less spaced out??? A little less dead??? What the fuck is this nonesense' definitely doesn't help things feel more real if i am being honest. On the flip side it has consistently made my oversleeping less erratic but with all my neighbours noise it does make it more annoying to stay on task sometimes. Like yeah i am awake i guess? But?? Not like i can be productive with being unable to catch a break.

Though it is less spaced out so much as everything going on has made me feel like im just??? kind of just in limbo mentally where i am present but i otherwise feel just rather listless and unmotivated because its just five different flavors of feedback loop that all hate each other. (spoiler: its mostly the burnout i think) Its just unfortunate that i feel like im lying to myself at this point whenever i think about writing because my brain feels like a dead fish someone has just tossed on the keyboard whenever i try writing and shit has been happening. Like yeah i can and will write, but i never get far because my brain gets disgruntled like a cat that was fine with cuddles then has decided enough it enough after like ten seconds (five sentences)

how many times do I have to tell you guys octarians don't exist anymore. the army literally killed all of them in the great turf war you're not going to get a hot octoling gf they're fucking extinct

🍤 woomy-mother-fuckers aug 30, 2014

🤿 squiblybeakers77 aug 30, 2014

yeah cause it's a bop. not made by octarians tho, it's a coverup to keep us from questioning it.

🐡 OutFishing mar 16, 2024

🦐 NOBODYTOUCHMYFISHFRYS mar 19, 2024

and here we have the legendary squibly, who fought valiantly against Big Octo's lies and also didn't bother to take the fifteen minute bus ride to mt nantai where you could've literally seen octolings patrolling the outside of octo canyon. truly a warrior of the people,

🔫 z3nz0nes mar 20, 2024

"turquoise october isn't actually octolings".... THE LYRICS ARE IN OCTARI??? A WHOLE ASS DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?????

🦐 NOBODYTOUCHMYFISHFRYS mar 20, 2024

no zen you don't understand. obviously Big Octo created a fake language to keep us complacent

🌷 burst-bombs-are-gay mar 25, 2024

omg why didn't u guys tell me my wife went extinct in 2014 😔😔😔 @yokoandthegoldbisexuals I miss u already babe 💔

#loving the implication that Big Government was like #"hey we need to fake some stuff for this octarian thing" #and the best idea they could come up with was... leaving an unlabeled cd in a dumpster???? #granted the later ones had labels but like. that's absolutely insane what do you MEAN #also. I mmean. I wouldn't mind being deceived by a Big Oct— #*explodes and dies*

how is Acht a war criminal??? dont know the lore so genuinely asking x3

So that's more of a Tea and Gladiolus lore tidbit than a Splatoon canon lore fact! I had started writing T&G back in 2020, years before Side Order came out. (Side note: what the fuck how is T&G like five years old)

Marina's connection with Acht had only been hinted at back then, so I wrote that Marina, Mizuta, and Beryl (an oc) were all a part of Turquoise October together back when they were a part of the Octarian army. The three had been separated when Splatoon 1's hero mode concluded, with Marina going free and Mizuta falling into Kamabo Corp.

Specifically about the war criminal part: yeah Turquoise October absolutely committed war crimes because they were forced to. None of them really wanted to, but there wasn't much you could do back then because you'd be exiled to Kamabo Corp or killed 〒▽〒

In conclusion: I don't think Acht in splatoon canon is a war criminal, but in the story I wrote for her for my agent 24 yuri fic I did write her as an unwilling participant in it

Matching your eyeliner to your hair colour, especially if it’s dyed hair, has got to be the hottest thing you can do

[daisyachain]

Beautiful woman at work with well put-together fashion that stays on trend (professional, neutral colours, darker cast) while having a little je ne said quoi (typically chunky sneakers or platform soles) has twice complimented my outsider (clown. I cannot express this enough. Show). Either she is a fellow clown trapped in the body of a fashionista who is just waiting to come out of her closet (fascinating) or she is trying to hit (im—and I do not say this lightly—possible).

suddenly remembered that i saw a pretty bird today at the institute

was this one, a Turquoise-browed motmot also known as Torogoz in El Salvador and Guardabarrancos in Nicaragua, being the national bird in both countries

theyre a little rare depending where you live, my hometown is close to lots of forests so they usually appear in the edges of the town

wished to take a picture. the one i saw was so pretty. but yeah i couldn't.

I’ve never wanted an echl jersey so bad until now

So tumblr was a bitch and didn’t upload this the first time I tried but

Old kin art gallery time!!

(With some lore)

Because I realized that since this is a newer blog none of my old kin art has ever been posted on here

Btw I’m gonna have to make two parts of this because tumblr only allows you to post 10 pics at a time

Anyways

Get readmored because this is gonna be long but here we go because I think the evolution is interesting, these are all from when I was like 13-14 leading up to now btw

Here we’ve got my first attempt at making a sort of sona for myself <3 this drawing sucks but it’s kinda cute, and then we’ve got all the drawings that followed with this design:

Featuring my at the time best friend and me being gay over a fictional character I will not be naming JDKSJDND

Then we’ve got the first revised drawing of myself, I really leaned more into both my own feelings of how I saw myself in my head and also included representations of things that were important to me in it

I was super proud of this drawing at the time, I still think it’s cute tbh <3 and then we’ve got all the drawings with that design, this stuck until I came to some past life revelations that shifted my whole view of myself

And part two gonna have to be after this because that’s my image limit <3 hopefully this posts this time-

Edit: part two here!

[millythegoat]

me getting bodied hard with that shade poll, makes me relate this meme so hard

[foodlesoodlesdoodles]

i would love to know more about ur jjba ocs :D

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ AN EXCUSE TO YAP . GODSPEED BELOVED CITIZEN. FOR SPACING I MAY HAVE TO DO A MULTI PART BUT I THINK ILL START WITH THE OGS. Honestly I wouldn’t mind an input about which one to clarify about,,,,, also Godspeed because you did this anon off which I could never be brave enough to do (positive) OKAY OKAY SO.

The Primary setting is Diamond Is Unbreakable. Featuring my favorite four gay college aged losers.

JOUJIROU HANABUSA is, quite obviously, yet another illegitimate child of a certain old man. 20 years old and studying to become essentially a professional bug researcher? She was actually made separate from the entire groups theming. She’s kindhearted and struggles to stand up for herself or take things serious, as she feels great remorse for who she was previous to college. She used to be a big hothead boy (‼️TRANSFEM BTW) who was the classic archetype of kid having a rough time at home (or at this case, lack thereof as she was in the foster system at a very small age) and took it out on other people. She struggles with feeling like she’s constantly left out or behind, which emphasizes itself when shit kicks into high gear in the story. (AU pictured briefly here where Joseph finds her at 11 and takes her to be apart of the family)

This kind of reputation proceeds her in the small town, and as such she’s become much more withdrawn and introverted. She left for a period of time as to help her adoptive father on business trips. After which, she came across her little half brother after he accidentally bumped into her while she was frozen looking at a millipede on a streetlight. They didn’t like eachother at first! But brother, once the moms found out it was OVER.

Her stand is The Seven Plagues of Egypt, a very odd place for a stand such as this! But that’s sort of her whole point, she’s sort of an echo of someone she never knew and the issues resulting sort of warping her life and behavior forever unintentionally. (Fun fact: she was 11 when the SDC arc happened!) her stand itself is disturbing and odd, manifesting itself not just out of the material it controls (locusts, fire, blood, etc etc) but also her own internal issues.

The stand itself is crazy, but it’s in the hands of a person who never wants to hurt anyone. Her favorite bugs are of course locusts, having certain earrings and a ponytail holder resembling the insect. It’s range is rather questionable, as Seven Plagues did fuck up— Y’know— Egypt. Or at least a wide range. I don’t have an exact number, as it’s very hard to pin down! She sees through the eyes of the locusts, and can pretty much go anywhere with it even though she can’t use her abilities through the bug outside of a certain radius.

Speaking of, as to how she takes damage— a lot of her stand is multiple organisms in hordes, and she often uses these creatures passively. Whether it be one or 30 all hidden around the room to listen and watch. They appear as small cuts on her body whenever they die, which is HIGHLY annoying for her. (and, newsflash: she DOES get headaches from being rattled around in a jar)

(AU pictured briefly here where Joseph finds her at 11 and takes her to be apart of the family part 2) I’ve tried drawing it only a handful of times once before, but I do struggle to capture it in a way I like. I have far better sketches I know I’ve deleted but can find! But I’d rather not accidentally delete all of this as I’m on mobile.

Her SCARRING is something very important, as it actually doesn’t come from her hurting herself! It’s a close call with Yoshikage Kira, and brother she FELL for that damsel in distress act he put up and he GOT her ass. Luckily he was on the run so she didn’t have to worry about any extra shit, but needless to say her persistent belief in the goodwill of others gets her in trouble. (I am totally certain this won’t happen a second time with a pink haired man who has some weird shit goin on)

This is the most RECENT but UNFINISHED mapping of her scars, body and shape. As you can tell I made the center of the blast sort of blister into a star mark. She gets more later, but as of right now we’re focused on part 4 Jouji. This obviously fucked her up big time, destroyed any feel in that side of her body and definitely needed several surgeries, medications and a cane. Her eye technically survived but it’s very piss poor vision on her other side.

She functions poorly in serious social situations, often opting to do bits or try to lighten up the mood. Though she can hold her own close range as well as a regular buff ass 6’6 woman can, she doesn’t often resort to that unless it’s protective. She at least knows how to try her best in situations where people need support or feel isolated, as she knows those kinds of feelings well and tries to befriend people through food and gifts. This is actually why all of her friends came not from college, but from the cafe Norman works at!

LASTLY, she warms up to her new dad rather quickly! She’s an adult, and she tries to reassure him he couldn’t have known she or her brother were born. (“Though, did you HAVE to cheat on your wife? I mean, thanks for the life and all…… but jeez, dude— TWICE? at your age? Damnn….”) she can’t help but wonder if somewhere in the back of his mind, he knows what her mom is like. who she is. She was left alone in Morioh at like 5, and doesn’t remember her twin brother. (And never learns of him until far, far, FAR later.) She just wants to know why she was left behind, and the only one to be. (It was the destructiveness of her stand, and for a assumedly standless mother— it was far too much to handle. So she took the other less exhausting son.)

Though…….. if she were smaller it would NOT be the case.

Don’t mind me just brainrotting over here

Thinking about soulmates that feel each others pain. For years and years Smoker didn’t feel anything. And then when he’s thirty-fucking-four he starts feeling things, minor scrapes and bumps mostly, but as a Logia user it just feels so strange.

Ruth, meanwhile, has just been hit by a fucking semi truck and now she keeps feeling like a spirit from some ungodly plane is randomly punching her in the stomach, not realizing that her soulmate is literally not even feeling any of this and is just convinced she’s going insane in addition to being warped into a manga. It takes her groaning after a particularly hard hit for Nami to explain what’s going on and she faints like immediately afterwards.

Needless to say Loguetown and Alabasta are very awkward. Especially given that Ruth gets stabbed in Alabasta and Smoker feels every second of it.

Thanks!! A'ight, let's see here, what's the most random stuff I can think of...

Eight year old Tri's favorite snack to put together at summer theater camp was a flour tortilla smeared with Trix Yogurt and rolled up into a very leaky burrito. Half the enjoyment came from the looks of awe and/or horror on the faces of other kids

I do not like cheese. I will happily consume plain cheese pizza with no toppings, Kraft macaroni and cheese with peas and sausage/tuna/hamburger mixed in, and grilled cheese sandwiches made by a single individual (The Primary Parent) but all other forms of cheese more often than not trigger my gag reflex. No I don't understand it either

I can off the top of my head list names/ages/primary details for dozens and dozens and dozens of characters across all my various original projects, along with summarized or expanded outlines of the plots and relationships and woldbuilding details (see: Stories of Sarant, the Understudy Project, Birds of Legend, Solar Knights, Hard Facts Simple Truths, Ellery Elements, the Ancestrals, Matrix Mage, Tales of the Bloodfeather, so on and so forth) all without consulting my vast horde of notebooks or digital documents, which is a feat my Parent will call amazing before she immediately asks if I've finished writing my second book yet -_-
