[ cw: injury mention / jokes about death / ]

Love when people depict Leo like-

Leo, covered in grievous wounds and having several broken bones: Ew, Staten Island? Anyway lmao that sucked-

Leo, with a paper cut: My LIFE is OVER I am SUFFERING I am DYING I leave all my comics to Mikey, Raph gets my posters and figurines, April can have everything else in my room, I guess Dad can have my swords, Donnie you get NOTHING until you admit I was RIGHT back when-

if we don't crack the world's shell we will die before being born

He ain't slick, I saw what it said before he edited it

I will now be overthinking about this until Saturday

"queernorm" worlds are fine and i do understand why people like them + why there's a desire to make their depictions of queer experiences legible to an audience who lives under real-world gender and sexuality norms. but for me i always end up feeling a little dissatisfied by them because they still end up implicitly adhering to certain real-world norms that in-universe have no real reason to exist. can we not imagine a world in which gender/sex assignments entirely don't exist? what could gender and gendered expression even mean in that world? how would romance and kinship and care be reimagined there? how far could you potentially go in totally deconstructing those norms? wouldn't it be nice to imagine a world so different from our own that even the language we have to describe certain experiences is no longer the same? im dissatisfied by the inability to go much further, even if i do understand why people don't

What if ender pearls are squishy and when you throw them, they splatter on the ground like a water balloon.

Like popping boba or fish eggs.

Worked a little bit on planning some Esmour scenes and man, I love this guy so much xD He's so much fun, and in a totally different way than 'Zi. Can't wait for him to have his official entrance on the stage!

Also I wish I had more head space for actually writing, but I'm probably going to be busy until at least Christmas. Missing my little fic 🥺

Continuation of this! Next one is here

AU start here!

Leo doesn’t really care about injuries anymore, due to his whole “reset” thing he has going on.

His brothers are not of the same opinion, especially Donnie, who knows too well what having a weaker shell can do to you if you’re not careful.

There are only two appropriate reactions to the above scenario.

Which one are you?

How do you physically torment characters yet still keep it child appropriate?

TMNT Writers: Go after the shells.

if you took a bad enough hit while dao rock armour was active, could you have scars from blunt force trauma that spiderweb like cracks in stone
