Just watched Turbo again - yk, the movie about the snail who gets dipped in nitrous oxide, basically becomes a car, meets a Mexican guy who co-owns a taco truck, gets entered into the indie 500, and wins - and I know the point of that movie is some sort of "you can be anything you want to be" message, but was I the only one getting trans imagery too? I mean obvi the writers probably didn't have that in mind, but I mean come on:
He always felt like he didn't fit his body;
He chose a name that fit his identity better than his old one (Turbo instead of Theo);
His brother and fellow garden snails mocked him for wanting to be fast despite what "mother nature" dealt him, and refused to call him by his chosen name other than mockingly;
Finally he gets a body that suits his image of himself, but when he loses the super power, he feels terrible, and it takes his brother finally acknowledging that he is what he claims to be, for him to get back his motivation to continue... etc etc etc.
The list goes ON. Am I the only one who saw it?

I wanted to make a drawing of @julius-456's ship with my humanizations and experiment with some brushes
Although I don't ship them, I admit that to a certain point it was cute to see them that way xD

Had a dream last night.
I'm sitting in Japan. A man asks if I want to try escargot. I say sure. He pulls a slug-thing out of a paper bag. It's about the size of a small cat with nigiri-like shells. As he attempts to bite it, it sprints away with the speed of a car.
It looked like this.

I love that Yoh "rushing" to buy something is just him walking at a normal human pace

Coming to terms with being a very slow writer is difficult. I've been so deep in my own head about disappointing writing partners with my lack of focus & for taking days / weeks/ and maybe even months in between replies. And it's not even that i'm not excited or interested in my interactions anymore, my brain just gets so foggy for no reason occasionally. I just want to state that I love ALL of my mutuals. I LOVE SEEING EVERYONE ON DASH. I love diving into brainrot and just sharing ideas. You could literally take months to reply to a thread of mine and i'd still be as interested in it as day one. Because in my eyes if you interact with me and my funky lil guys then you already won over a piece of my heart. 💜 ( I have a big heart btw. )
I just know for myself, despite my excitement, I disassociate a lot and try to limit my threads as to not make others wait so long on me. So I just thank everyone for being so patient with me. I think I just harbor so much love for things that it's just hard to sort through sometimes. If that makes sense.
Anyway tldr; you know that funny thing of everyone asking 'if I was a worm would you still love me?' I just... 👉👈 guys if I was a snail ( because I am.. ) would you still love me??

A few days ago I had a birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a Turbo themed party, right(?????
I'll probably tag this in groups for the series and not just the movie, i really want to share it with everyone jsjsjs i'm so happy~
This is how the room looked. After it was all over, I ended up posting the figures in my room. Please ignore the fact that Whiplash is not there X'D due to things in life we did not make a figure of him, although we already had it made for my room.
We also had a piñata made of this guy, and the truth is I loved it too much 💖💖💖
Of course.... Still it had to be broken
We had some candy bags made. This image is recent, I had not taken a photo of one until now
Here are my friends and I, and as you can see, we have character shirts made for each one.It was no surprise to them that the party was for Turbo, they know very well how big of a fan I am of this thing jsjsjs
Sadly I forgot to take a photo of the cake, although it was more or less like the photo, except that we stuck some mini figures of the characters on it with some toothpicks.
We did a lot of things that day, but I just wanted to share with you the Turbo theme.
I didn't even know I needed to have a themed party for this franchise until that day jsjs Without a doubt, one of the best days of my life :') really i loved it 💖💖💖
You know, I apologize if there were any writing errors, I use the translator.

I hope I'm not gonna be the only person in Tumblr who knows about these snails, ik they're the evil doppelganger trope but they just SLAY
I just feel bad and little mad cuz they just appeared ONLY TWO EPS (in the last ep they apperead some seconds...) they deserved to have some screen time, like some exclusive ep about them idk, ik their character is supposed to be forgettable to people (this doesn't worked on me) but as like some "villains" in turbo fast has an interesting concept like hayaku or hardcase, FAJITA have some interesting concept to just throw them in the dump, sometimes they can be little annoying but it's not they are just like the other boring villains in the show
