when the choreography for the rumble has everyone standing apart and reacting to punches being thrown with no one throwing any punches, emphasizing how in the end no one is the true winner and everyone is suffering from the rage and violence and cycle of revenge... yeah that's the good stuff

The idea of (trans) Zoro doing voice training by himself makes me laugh thinking of what his feminine voice must sound like and exactly how Zoro could use it to fuck with Sanji somehow

[linddzz]

it does not matter in the slightest but I still want everyone to know that I didn't do much editing on the nicknames drabble BUT

there's this one line in the fic that goes

"Lásko." He says, as naturally as a heartbeat, as easily as blinking.

"Lásko." He says, as easily as breathing, as easily as existing.

and i....LOOKED at that for a second and was like.

For real, bring back whatever the 80s had going on with movies (without forcibly bringing back/rebooting 80s movies), like just earnestly genuinely tell me the most ridiculous plot you can and let me be taken on a real journey with it, tell me that delorean is a time machine, tell me there’s treasure hidden on a pirate ship under this town, tell me we’re busting ghosts in NY with particle accelerators strapped to our backs, and we’re grabbing Abe Lincoln and Napoleon and Socrates to party with us so we pass our history class, tell me we’re hunting down vampires because they’re just chilling in California this whole time, tell me that department store mannequin has a curse on it that brings it to life and only one guy can see it and starts dating it, and tell me that Geena Davis is falling in love with the blue fuzzy alien Jeff Goldblum she gave a makeover to after he crash landed in her swimming pool, ate her sofa cushion like it was popcorn, and wooed her with the English phrases he learned solely from watching television, and etc etc, tell me that all with a straight face and own it

Hello :D

You're so cool

Anyway have you thought that in your rat sons au Splinter might outlive the boys?

You're very cool :D love your stuff dude

(tw for some blood, light gore, implied overdose (kinda??))

hi copper!!! this is a fantastic question!

so obviously typical irl rats have far shorter lifespans than the average irl tortoise. according to google (yes, be awed by my spectacularly in-depth wealth of research) the average pet rat lives between 2-4 years ish, and the oldest on record lived to be about 7. meanwhile, an African spurred tortoise (Splinter's species) averages more around a 50ish year lifespan in captivity, tho is suspected to possibly exceed 75 or more in the wild.

Now, the mutation does give us a lot of wiggle room for playing with these numbers. For the rat sons boys, id say their natural lifespan probably clocks in at about 45-55 years old? definitely not old by human standards, but not young young either. (though, its also important to note that the boys were exposed to the mutagen just days after being born.)

For Splinter, meanwhile, aging is slightly more complicated. He lived the vast majority of his life as a regular normal African spurred tortoise (well, non-mutated at least. there were perhaps some shenanigans of a more mystical variety going on before he was mutated, but thats a separate matter) He was about 70ish i think? when the boys were born and they were all exposed to the mutagen. so he is already distinctly an old man turtle papa. id guess he'd probably still have another eh lets say 25-30 years after his mutation. he could probably push it a little farther even with some mystic nonsense, but when push comes to shove id say his 'natural' post-mutation lifespan would put his death like a solid decade or two before his sons.

of course, the tricky part of the matter is that theres no way for Splinter to know any of this. theres no way for him to know how the mutation affected them all, or if it even affected them all in the same way. especially since the boys dont show many physical signs of mutation for the first few years, and just kinda look like normal rats, (albeit with a more human sort of intelligence) — what sort of health standard do you hold them to? what if they simply dont show external signs of sickness or old age anymore? how do you actually know if something is wrong?

for a while there Splinter is very worried that one of his babies will just essentially reach the end of their normal rat lifespan, fall and not get up again.

so mostly, he just tries to live in the moment, enjoying whatever time he does have with his little ones, taking each day as a gift <3

still,

that fear

never

really

goes

away.....

Ok listen I don't like being a hater but tbh I was disappointed in the Crash Course video on Judaism. It was really disorganized (why were the sections on antisemitism and Zionism between the Written Torah and Oral Torah sections???) and had some glaring inaccuracies (the Tanach contains WAY more than the 5 Books of Moses, and the Oral Torah is not just Hillel and Shammai???).

Also, there was very little focus on history, which informs SO much of Jewish culture. I know it's a short video and highly simplified, but there could at least be a token mention that the Talmud was written during the Roman/Byzantine/Sassanid period and the Reform movement started in Enlightenment-era Germany. Little stuff like that. Or at least have the topics in the video be in chronological order.

However, I do appreciate the John Green-typical commitment to sensitivity and neutrality. (even if they proactively turned the comments off. ugh.)

Could you imagine the Justice League holding their own version of the Olympics where vigilantes get to compete for different "teams" in all sorts of competitions?

I feel like it started off amongst the Bats holding "friendly" competitions at the manor to see who was the fastest, who could score the best in pole vaulting or shot put and slowly evolved into Bruce challenging Ollie in archery, only for the Batfam and Arrowfam to hold regular competitions in different skills.

Then of course the rest of the JL found out and wanted to participate, so there's different brackets for the events. Supers and Metas have their own brackets and non-powered humans compete against each other for the rest.

The teams are the equivalent of families or side kicks.

I think Bruce would cry of laughter if Jason schooled Oliver in shooting.

Thinking about how Bucky visibly looks like he feels out of place and like a fish out of water in pretty much every circumstance we see him in except for fighting.

Thinking about how he’s visibly at home fighting, but that fluency doesn’t even belong to him, hydra put that in him.

Thinking about how he’s only had 20-30 years to be his own person in his whole life, and the world has been radically different for almost all of those.

Send my boy to another cookout, he looked like he was figuring out how to be a person again

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I was re-watching some of the BSD ops and was reminded of just how many of them are visually so good and accompanied by absolute banger songs. So I'm going to be mean now.

*v1 and v2 are combined because the only difference between them is that v2 adds colour to the last ten seconds of it. They are exactly the same otherwise. To me, a vote for one is a vote for the other, since the colour change is part of the story.

See under the cut for links to each op if you need a refresher!
