April is nearly upon us once again, and that means it’s time to get ready for poetry month!! Just as in years past I’m planning to write and share a poem every day, and I could use your help. Send me an ask (or a dm on discord) with a fandom, a character or pairing, and a word or phrase. I’ll mix it all up, throw it in the oven, and see what comes out!
Below is a list of fandoms I’ve either written in the past (or would like to write)…
Battlestar Galactica
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (no Angel, please)
Carry On (the Simon Snow series)
Doctor Who (modern Doctors/companions, plus Eight)
Fringe
Good Omens
Harry Potter (Draco/Neville is my fave but I’ll write just about any character)
His Dark Materials (the books, I’ve still not seen the show!)
Lord of the Rings
The Magnus Archives
Marvel (the Avengers, Venom, Moon Knight)
MASH
The Old Kingdom (book series by Garth Nix)
Our Flag Means Death
The Raven Cycle (I haven’t finished the Dreamer trilogy yet so please no spoilers!!)
The Sandman
Star Trek (TOS/AOS)
Supernatural
The Tortall universe (multiple book series by Tamora Pierce)
Welcome to Night Vale
The Witcher (mostly Netflix, but I have a sprinkling of book and game knowledge)
Thanks so much for all the prompts y’all have sent over the years! It is truly a joy to write for you. 💜💜💜
something i really respect about brennan and izzy is that they’ve never just like. announced something. their engagement was “announced” in the middle of a zoom adventuring party in the midst of a different bit, everyone just kinda found out about their wedding through social media, and now their baby has been announced in the intro of a patreon exclusive talkback podcast through a bit that is basically indecipherable to those who have never heard it. despite being people who got their start within online community they are not beholden to sharing All Life News to them immediately and that rocks so hard.
Wow, just wow. @somerandomdudelmao, your series was incredible. I only found your comic in July and I didn’t become an active tumblr user/follower till September, but I’m so glad I got to watch this project come to a close. The ROTTMNT fandom wouldn’t be the same without you and your comic. You’ve inspired so many people, including me, and I just want to say thank you, Cass. Thank you for making my year a little bit brighter. Thank you for reigniting my love of art. Thank you for creating. Thank you for existing.
You’re no longer just some random dude lmao. You’re the creature who fixed the apocalypse, the creature who brought together thousands of people and built a family. A family of turtles and fans.
In honor of C.A.S I wanted to color and animate the final panel of the comic. Im still learning color theory and digital art but you’ve inspired me to improve, and what better way to start than with the end? It was a beautiful ending, so perfectly paced and full of a peaceful hope twinged with a bittersweet sadness. Your comic might be done, but this turtle family will live on forever.
Now go take a well-deserved nap and relish in your success!
Sleepovers with April are the best! ...and normally accidental-
omg also i binge read dandy's "i may be invisible, but i still look good" and the reference is random but i needed it cause it was funny in the fic and references are my data collection-
Rise is fucking legendary pls take my humble human designs 🙏🙏 Forcing my arnis agenda on mutant April bc tonfa got their justice but not my man arnis sticks!!! Shoutout arnis
do you agree that donnie and april are (platonic) soulmates? yes or no?
(i say yes)
Platonically, it’s hard for me to say that she’s not soulmates with all of the turtles because I mean look at them:
They all love her so much and she compliments all of their personalities and quirks while still being her own adrenaline junky, sassy, and headstrong self. She’s funny like Leo to the point where she’s dropping one liners and puns in the middle of battle (and upset when Leo gives that part of himself up in Insane in the Mama Train), she’s got Raph ability keep the boys in line (at least sort of lol) while having his quick to leap into action and never give up attitude, and she’s charismatic, bubbly, and encourages being emotionally open like Mikey.
However, I also believe it’s no coincidence that her and Donnie have complimentary color schemes. I think they work so well together because in a way I think Donnie is the most “human”. He wants to go to school/college. He appears to want to fit in somewhere in the human world the most out of his brothers. April is a bit of an outcast herself and doesn’t really appear to have many friends before the turtles show up. They sort of meet each other in the middle of their crazy worlds.
Dead boy detectives really encapsulates what television should be. Gay, camp, questionable quality special effects. Truly the best show I have seen in so long that I also had fun watching. I need both the theme song on Spotify and season 2.
