Since Interview with the Vampire has been in the media so much lately, “Moon Over Bourbon Street” has been playing on heavy rotation in my head. It was the song that first led me to the books, since Sting wrote in the liner notes of Dream of the Blue Turtles that the first book was the inspiration for the song.

I ended up singing it for my senior show in high school. At that point everybody already knew I was a weirdo, but I figured I would go out as a fabulous spooky weirdo. I knew the guys on the lighting crew, so I got them to give me a single blue spot on a dark stage. I wore a 1940s-style dress in black with pink and red rose appliqués, pale makeup with bright red lipstick and dark eyebrows, and heels that took me up to six feet. I was surprised that I got a pretty good reception in that little farming community. Maybe there were more vampire lovers in the cornfields than I suspected.

Anyway, I’m very fond of this recording, not just for the arrangement (which is totally worthy of fondness on its own merits) but because I think this song works really well with a female vocalist, and this lady is very good. Which is probably weird, what with it being written from the point of view of a male character, but the whole source material is so steeped in queerness that what the hell.

Hey you guys remember him? He was my favorite character from the series back then

My design for Draxum in tmnt 2003 universe, he's an alien from a planet of warriors but it's now retired and dedicates his life to science...

#my art #rottmnt #fanart #baron draxum #rottmnt draxum #tmnt #tmnt 2003 #turtles in space #rise of the tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt draxum #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #i don't know how shadows work #he appeared in one of my dreams but he was blue

I see so much art for the future Rise turtles, BUT WHAT OF THESE!? So i did a quick messy sketch during my 1hr lecture

2003 - S3E21

#TMNT #TMNT 2003 #honestly been obsessing over these #Raphs gained some weight hes like those old war vets that sit in bars all day i love him #also another raph with an eye injury to add to the list #Leo’s not even blue #so funny he raided the kraangs wardrobe from s1/s2 i think #mikey really committed to the no clothes aesthetic #also yeah i know 2012 also has grown up apocalyptic versions ill get to that i havent watched s4/s5 of that show yet #but look at these old men #these geezers #raph smiled once when he hugged Donnie #and he also was like ninjitsu who as he started throwing glass #Leo forgot hes a turtle with a shell but that’s fine hes senile #him and raph held hands i was sobbing #mikey you where forgotten too quickly ill mourn you i love you #also spoilers for e23 but when Donnie’s like YOUR ALL YOUNG AND MIKEY YOU HAVE BOTH ARMS #the brothers are like hello Donnie and dont even question it #they all went to their dream world and Donnie went through the horrors #very excited for 2012 which is the only version of my knowledge to have a future Donnie…TECHnically #anyway yeah these guys love them April didnt mourn them enough #ive decided the oversized jacket raph has was found at caseys #hed got it cheap in a sale even thought its ginormous and then this chunky dude found it and was like for me :)#took me ages to figure out why Leo wasn’t wearing glasses and then drawing this i was like oh shell his mask is gone #dont look Leo in the yes hes like Medusa you’ll turn to stone #raphael splinterson #leonardo splinterson #Michaelangelo splinterson #TMNT SAINW #SAINW

green man's grimace or a requiem for bunny

i told myself i would turn back at the end of the old farm road. i wanted to beat the rain home, but there i was nodding my head to that kuromy album and next i knew i was looking at the creek just this side of sandy springs. i had to run my errands all muddy with my hair wet and curled like forman's mom's worst perm

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eight

Then I went off to fight some battle That I'd invented inside my head Away so long for years and years You probably thought or even wished that I was dead While the armies are all sleeping Beneath the tattered flag we'd made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Dream #2:

I was hanging out with Donnie watch him playing video game. No bad guys no danger at all just chilling in the sewer. I am glad that I have to spend time with my friends (well turtle friends). The female turtle Alphira (my beautiful oc) on the other hand typing her tablet didn't say anything. Leo makes funny pick up line, Mikey draw pictures of him & his brothers which I found it adorable and Raph is just training. I think April hang out with her slime friend Sunita. Yeah relaxing without fighting enemies was fantastic (or maybe I was thinking too much since I keep saying no worries). Oh and Master Splinter watch the television falling asleep.

ok not the best screenshot but it's kinda hard with all the high contrast from his shiny rage art but

I'm so pleased that he looks more toward his old T6 model, well at least from what we can see so far 🙏

Also, I never mentioned this but lol, the nerdy dmc fan in me liked associating his T7 coat with Vergil3 but now that Dra's sporting a *black* coat I ofc can't help but think of Vergil5 x'D.. And the gloves match too. Also also, lmao, did he steal re4make Leon's shirt or..😂

Anyway I'm happy he looks more vampiric too, gah wish fulfilled 😭👌👌

#sergei dragunov #I had a dream just the night before of Dra's reveal and he was wearing a navy blue turtle neck with a harness haha #I kinda wanna draw it before I forget it #Tekken #Tekken 8

I feel so ashamed I actaully followed an ad and bought something

but also not so ashamed bc a) i am getting two new beautiful necklaces (a dragonfly and a turtle!) and b) I'd seen stuff about it before it was only this ad that made me go finally 'okay given that this is a closing down sale of this thing I will make my final decisions regarding purchases' so the ad didn't really influence anything it just made me get on with it

#i will have Four necklaces when these come!!#a simple round blue-green opal I love very much #a small silver dragon which is gorgeous texture for playing with if I'm stressed actually #a dragonfly with white opal inlaid for wings #a turtle with blue opal for the shell #hmmm there seems to be a theme here whatever could it be :P #ive always had this Thing surrounding jewelry that i shouldn't get much or any myself bc that's a thing i see as gifts esp by significant #others. but part of buying jewelry for myself is kind of a release of that dream i suppose.#like i want it still so much but im learning to release it into God's hands #im trying anyway #i am trying to leave romance or lack thereof in God's hands while still doing whatever I can reasonably to encourage it #but it's funny you know. thinking about the boy. my thoughts reach out into the future and it's like the last few months ive begun to start #being able to see a future. im not just talking 'being able to see a future with him' (altho i perhaps can tho i try and stay away from #that for obvious reasons) im literally talking 'being able to see a future beyond the immediate next year or possibly the year after even.#like. /i have a future/ and ive never seen that before even when i was a child #i never expected to get to the 2020s and here wie are in 2022 #the boy #personal #catkin rambles

When the players want to strike on their own outside their collectives, they do have a wish to be understood much more than they were within the confines of their original bands. Sting, to give you an example, felt a need to prove himself. Therefore, The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, his debut, reflects the troubled production that occured thanks to such a mindset at the time. The LP seems to present a struggle of someone avoiding what he did before without disregarding the latter completely. He appears to be tense, since he demands to be taken as a real deal despite him achieving that with The Police. I mean, listen to his singles from the album, even they sound like him chasing the persona of a serious musician, worthy of a serious consideration.
