This small moment is interesting to me because not only is it uncommon to see Scully a little shaken during an investigation, but also because it shows that Mulder can tell when she's scared, despite her remaining completely composed. He doesn't protest or even question why she wants to leave—he can tell in the way she won't meet his eyes, her shy, non-confrontational phrasing "Mulder, I'm ready to go now," (a typical Scully would say something like "Let's go, Mulder,") that she's a little frightened. He probably could tell before she even said anything.

Still weird seeing Twilight be so honest with Yor about struggling to turn his brain off and just *be*. A good kind of weird, of course. I could never imagine volume one Twilight being so open with her (or anyone, really). This chapter was so nice with its references to all the way back then and showing how far they've come since. Still some sneaky Project Apple seeds being laid, of course, but overall, this was a pleasant checkpoint. A little calm before the next storm, which was sorely needed after the last arc

I ran into an Erenville RPer in game today who would give out animal facts if you asked and they did give Arsay a fact it was a very cute interaction but it did remind me of the opening of dawntrail when Wuk lamat asks how far they were from the shore, and upon seeing sea birds I knew Arsay would respond that the birds meant they were close to shore only for Erenville to pop up like a second later and said the very same thing. It was such a cute little moment for me.

what makes your turtles happy. Like what would I have to give them to make them smile.

(there's been too much angst recently and I need something cute )

╥﹏╥

I am.. SO SORRY it took me this long to finally answer your question- I promise I sincerely wanted to, but life got busy, I got sick, and uh.. here we are. XD

Anyyyyways! Onto your question!

Leonardo- One of Leo's favorite past times is putting together puzzles while listening to movie soundtracks on his CD player. After tense missions or siblings annoying him all the time, he needs this kinda activity to rest and relax. :) Because his brothers think that putting together a puzzle is "old lady stuff" he's able to do it without any interruptions. (Except for a possible impromptu dance break from Mikey, but that's usually appreciated.) He also LOVES to organize all the pieces into their respective piles of color and shape.

Eventually, later in the story, Leo notices that Lotus fights anxiety and stress as badly as he does. (Maybe even worse.) So, in an attempt to help her, he invites her to join him whenever he takes out a 1,500 piece puzzle.

Raphael- This. This brings him immeasurable joy.

...Though sometimes things don't end so well for him. XD

But- in all seriousness, he loves to draw. :) Especially when he's allowed by Don to just chill in his beanbag chair as his freckled twin works at his computer. He also loves to get into wrestling matches with his brothers- a good little tussle to get the blood pumping and practice their grappling- as well as to get a chance to test each others' strength!

Donatello- With how stressful and annoying customers can become with his IT job, Don just sometimes needs some space outside. Compared to his stale, cramped office, a peaceful forest is paradise to him, allowing his always-moving brain to finally quiet.

Lotus- It takes her a long time to find things that she likes. For one, the first few weeks of being in the lair consist of lots of Medbay visits and physical recovery, but once she grows strong enough, Don teaches her how to bake. :)

And in time, and with lots of practice, Lotus learns to find so much happiness when she watches her brothers enjoying something she made. :)

Michelangelo- Hahaha there's a whole list- but I'll just go over the main things he loves. :) Firstly, Mikey loves it when he's called into the Kitchen or Medbay by Leo to have Medic lessons. This isn't only time spent with his big bro, but it's also really neat to hear about how the body works, how he can help his team better, and how to better take care of himself. It takes a lot of concentration to sit and listen, but it's always worth it. Especially when he sees Leo get passionate about something he works so hard to do. <3

Next would be singing and dancing. :) Anywhere. And at any time. He could be in the middle of a geography test and he'd still break out into song. And dancing is just such a cool way to express himself! Clicking on Leo's CD player with his favorite Smash Mouth hits, it won't even be two seconds before he's swaying, shimmying, and moon-walking.

Chores don't stop him from having fun either- Dishes are lame, but add your favorite hits on your MP3 player, and it's AWESOME.

And lastly, but most importantly, Mikey loves to paint. <3 He always has since being a toddler, thanks to an accident when Splinter left paint out in the boys' bedroom. Diving his hands into the cool, smooth, brightly-hued paint just sparked a deep creative drive in him, and it's been that way ever since.

Hahaha my story has been on the angstier side, so this was a lot of fun to just draw my turts being their fun, wholesome, chaotic selves. :) (Before more angst occurs in my story MUAHAHHAHAH)

Thanks for the question!

To God be the glory!

CORVUS CROSSING: A CHARM FAMILY STORY. CHAPTER I  "BOY, YOU'LL BE A MAN REAL SOON." PART I. Transcript Beneath the Cut.

From "THE EBBEARATH EVENING STANDARD" Sunday Edition; January 26, 2020.

CONTROVERSIAL REALM REUNIFICATION RITUAL DECLARED HISTORIC SUCCESS

By Senior Arcane Reporter Dominic Fyres

Left to Right: High Sage of Mischief Olive Specter, High Sage of Untamed Magic Morgyn Ember, High Sage of Alchemical Magic Simeon Silversweater, and High Sage of Practical Magic Agnes Crumplebottom.

EBBEARATH — "After 800 years of magical advancement, an ever-expanding catalog of history-altering achievements in all Four Disciplines of Arcana, countless hours of spellcrafting and tireless magical workings, and most especially, the dedicated assistance of every member within the Most High Covens, The Council of Four Corners is ecstatic to report that the Realm of Ebbearath is once again whole and fully restored."

On Sunday, January 26, 2020 at 3:58 A.M. Caster Standard Time, the Council of Four Corners in an official press release declared their latest and final attempt at performing the Realm Reunification and Restoration Ritual successful and, at long last, completed. Sources from inside the Ebbearath Institute of Magic who work closely with the High Sages confirm speculative rumors that even for the uppermost echelon of casters that have been bestowed immortality, attempts to perform the Great Reunification Working are so complex and such an intense drain of universal magical resources that the ritual has only ever been performed twice before in recorded history: Once in 1918, and once in the summer of 1346.

 "Apparently," the source that wishes to remain anonymous is quoted as saying, "the third time was the charm — we did it. By the blessing of the Fates, we have a home again."

As the Diaspora Arcana is called to return to Ebbearath to establish a foundational population for the capitol and with celebrations commencing worldwide in the early hours of the morning, few voices have been heard expressing any form of dissent. The Arcane Committee of Magical Ethics however released their own statement informing the public that the ritual had been performed without their blessing, consent, or knowledge. 

"Essentially, the Reunification Working operates by harvesting the negative forces holding the broken pieces of Ebbearath hostage and sending that energy somewhere else," Ethics Committee Chairman Dennis Kim states in a press release. "We have no idea where it's being sent or what the implications of such spellwork really means. For all we know, it may have devastating, potentially cataclysmic, consequences in some parallel realm or universe."

Countering the argument posed by the Ethics Committee, High Sage of Alchemy Simeon Silversweater had this to say in response: "The potential ramifications of forcing Ebbearath's negative energy into other planes of existence is precisely why the Working was performed in stages with lengthy periods of rest in between. We've meted out any potential damage as responsibly as possible — what does Chairman Kim propose? That we allow our realm to remain broken another 800 years just to potentially preserve some universe we don't even live in? He's asking us to sacrifice the good of our realm and drain our magical resources for some hypothetical greater good, which is idiotic."

"What High Sage Silversweater means," High Sage Morgyn Ember clarified in a Babble post, "is that magic itself would inevitably go extinct in as little as half a century and disappear from this realm if we did not act swiftly and decisively to perform the last stage of the ritual. We no longer have the luxury of time that would allow the continual sacrifice of our people and the timeline was unfortunately decided for us."

"The Council of Four Corners are of course in agreement that the Ethics Committee has every right to be skeptical and we remain indebted in gratitude that they continue to provide us with their invaluable insight; but until we know what exactly those ramifications Chairman Kim is worried about are," High Sage Olive Specter added on her own Babble Post, "we will remain cautiously optimistic that this has worked out for the betterment of all. We shall send our most heartfelt sentiments and prayers to denizens of other universes in the meantime."

hes on my computer now

[hallwayheart]

are you going to post the house from the video on youtube? I'm in awe of him!

unfortunately no 😞 the build is quite large and has a LOT of items & cc so the download file would be huge, and i'm not sure it could run very well on most peoples computers...

but i intend on building more and sharing these builds on my patreon & youtube, so keep an eye out :) they will still be very cc heavy, but they shouldn't be huge houses. i am working on a build now that i intend to share soon.

(floorplan here so you can see what i mean by huge and full of cc lol)
