Please change the qualifiers because my gay grandson was expecting the goth lady from Austria and now he's unhappy. Many thanks.

I honestly love the clothing styles of each of the turtles in this show and I love how these styles really incorporate their personalities as well.

Like, obviously Donnie has the best sense of style, yeah? Think that’s something pretty agreed upon here. Everything we see him put together is very meticulously crafted and clean. That goes with his personality because Donnie is a very meticulous person in general, and he knows what he likes very, very well, and knows how to flaunt it in turn. Him commenting on colors he enjoys or disapproving of outfits that the others see no problem with also shows how he just generally has an eye for this kind of thing. He doesn’t just know what looks good on himself, but also what looks good on others - and I think this ties into his love of gift giving too. Donnie also has a flair for making sure that his things have his “mark” on them, and his clothing is no exception. All that he wears and how he wears them screams “Donnie.”

Mikey is really fun because his styles are honestly a pendulum between super simplistic and incredibly out there. And often, you’re going to see a lot of color or patterns to both. And in my opinion I think that all reflects really well on Mikey’s character - he’s got a colorful personality but even more than that he’s incredible sure of who he himself is. Mikey’s style, I feel, is less what looks good as clothes and more what sparks joy in Mikey himself. His bright stickers he wears are a testament of that! He’s comfortable in his own skin and his style reflects this perfectly, whether he goes for a more out-there look or a more toned down one.

Now, for Leo. Okay, I think I’m actually in the minority here I feel because Leo’s style isn’t really that bad? Hear me out- if you actually look at what he wears, try taking out, like, one accessory. Suddenly, that outfit works! He even manages to put together many good outfits in the series, but his “bad” ones are the ones that tend to stand out, alas (just like how his mistakes tend to be big ones oop-) Basically, my personal look at him is not that he’s inept at styling at all, but that he has a “too much” gene. And like everyone else, this sense of style is completely like him, too. Going too far to impress when all he needed to do was slow it down some to think things through. (And funnily enough, a lot of his outfits take random aspects from his brothers too - “nothing without them” huh?)

For Raph, I feel bad for him since pretty much all of his clothes are inevitably going to be ripped, but he makes them work pretty much each time. Like Leo, Raph tends to go more sporty with his looks, but I also noticed that his stuff often goes in that in between of comfy, cool, and cute. His pajama suit in particular comes to mind in terms of “cute” as it’s more something you’d see younger children in rather than older kids, and I think it can be a subtle nod to the fact that for all Raph tries to seem older, he’s still just a kid too.

I could probably go on, but these are just all off the top of my head - I love how the boys’ personality’s come out in so many different ways.

I love how Discworld's mentor characters are all deeply flawed actually. Tired of old people having everything right, I love how these ones set up the next generation with room to grow and be idealistic, even if the mentors themselves are deeply rooted in the old practices of the system they've already changed so much. Pratchett really said we should revere our elders but also seek to push past their limits

what if i went to the aquarium with @radjerda a lot and then made an entire Dishonored AU around an aquarium that then became an entire modern AU? :)

It's finished! This blanket took me about 3 months and is the largest project by far that I have ever completed.

Tagging @chrono-phage who mentioned wanting to see other takes on this pattern.

The granny square patterns come from AlyssiaCreates, though I modified slightly to create the full, gibbous, and new moons.

i cant keep it hidden any longer

Every time i read this line i think it is saying so much more, and telling of how this whole story will end. It's obviously inside the topic of death and the loss of loved ones that is present across the manga through multiple characters, but i also think that it is speaking directly of Vash and Rem, and how eventually (not yet), he will learn to live with it, or at least in a bit better way, because right now and for 150 years, Rem's death has been weighting down so much on him that he hasn't been able to really live with it. He has been living horribly, carrying the weight of her death and values, fighting tooth and nail for humanity even when everything was against him.

That is until he shoots Legato volumes later, and with this, he finally lets Rem go, now completely losing her. Wolfwood is also gone, and Knives too, and the circular aspect of the story, how it ends in the same tone as how it started, reflects this - with Vash the Stampede learning to keep living despite losing them, and his life returning to (his) normal.

Counterpoint:

Old man Sorahiko is aged like fine wine

2. He's small and can fit into your arms easily which is cute

3. He's a disaster but he's a wonderful disaster. Grumpy, but attractive in all the right ways.

I am very concerned about mahiru this trial. Kotoko did not go easy on the girl 😔 she looks like she got hit by a bus

childhood was just a long series of adults being like "don't judge a book by its cover!" and "treat others the way you want to be treated!" and then turning around and making the wildest snap judgments about people based on TINY amounts of information and expecting you to agree

Controversial Mexican opinion: I personally do not understand the hype with birria be it tacos, burritos, whatever edible container or shaped dishes they keep making with it lol it's good it's just not something I personally go for when I DO have tacos. I do note however, that's it's like mostly non Mexican people who have recently discovered the flavor bomb that it is who have really popularized it online and understandably Mexicans love any excuse to get hype so we love and appreciate the attention our food gets

Read more cause i talk too much lol

My family hasn't really been one to eat like well known staples like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc on a frequent basis. We've definitely leaned towards cooking very common traditional every day food that I dont think gets talked about much like guisados, beans outside of refried beans, lots of squash and corn dishes, chilie based dishes where it serves as a sauce that's not mole, I could go on. And that's why a lot of like popular Mexican food doesnt really resonate with me.

We tend to treat tacos and burritos as like a treat, like one of those "its Sunday" lunches. OR my mom and I make deep fried tacos with potato and ground beef, beans, or turkey as a "lazy meal" or we make burritos with any left over meat and add mushrooms when we need to make something quick and convenient. And tortas are like a huge deal in my house cause my mom only makes them to celebrate stuff. But again they never lean towards being heavy stuff you get from mexican restaurants which honestly lean a bit towards tex mex here in the states to be more palatable.

The only like popular staple we absolutely eat frequently is grilled corn. And that's cause my dads from an agricultural part of Mexico that LOVES their corn lol everytime its corn season my dad is grilling corn every weekend and we do not ever get tired of it. And because of that regional thing we also have a huge thing for eating peanuts (toasted or boiled) and carrots too cause that's the 3 main crops in my dad's town.
