oh, to be a beautiful woman in the olden days, with your skirts and diaries and and embroidery, and your husband has just passed away under mysterious circumstances leaving you fabulously wealthy and in control of his business assets, and you loved him oh so much that you couldn't possibly remarry

even if it were the girl actually asking her own questions, her questions were being answered. Something I learned in my last year of highschool was the importance of asking questions and class participation. I always stunk at gov and I was in an honors class, and a couple weeks into the year I was struggling and went to chat with the teacher (over zoom, this was COVID year :P ) if he thought that I should go down to the non-honors class. He told me that I was actually doing really well from his perspective because I was interacting in class and asking my own questions. That stuck with me into college, and even now that I have fantastic grades all things considered, I fully believe that is because I am one of the brave ones in lecture to raise my hand and ask my questions. Even if it is for clarification or rewording what a professor has already said, it helps me learn the material better than staying quiet and hoping I will get it later.

re-reading my own fic because the author has exactly my taste in tropes, ships the same ships in the right way, and also shares my sense of humour. what a find, what a revelation. i hope they write more of this sort of thing.

Its been 21 years since TMNT 2003 came out
I'm just going to say it - I love this series. It's the first real turtle media I consumed when I first got into the franchise, and it's still a favorite! Whenever I think about the turtles, this iteration is what jumps to my mind. Leo and his devotion to family, Raph and his protective nature, Don with his kindness and brains, and Mikey with his fantastic sense of humor!
I love this franchise, and I'm excited to see what the future brings for it!

You know that time when you're on a walk, whether deliberately or walking home from the grocery store, and suddenly you see a weird stump or rock or something, and then you're imagining the fairies that might live there, what their lives are like, and what their personalities are? It's a wonderful feeling that I hadn't felt in a while.

I saw this absolute gem in a bookstore today. It was a delightful bookstore, and this was on the staircase to the basement of science fiction books.

I'd been wanting to read the idw TMNT comic for a while
and something I find interesting (as of Issue 6) is that in the absence of Raph, it's Leo and Donnie that have the most tension with each other. My main iteration is the '03 cartoon, where Leo and Don don't really fight with each other (not counting when Leo's mental health takes a plummet). I suppose that it is a lot like in the 2007 TMNT movie where Raph and Donnie argue when Leo isn't there, but considering that Leo and Don are considerably more level-headed than their brothers it's an interesting dynamic to see. Especially when Raphael is back to point out the tension.
