I don’t remember how many of you care about the Rhythm Turtle Heaven au, but look! Splinter exists !!

He takes the role of the Barista!

Special thanks to my sister who drew the one on the top left because I was stumped on his design 👍

Also here’s a little height chart for the six of them

#it was kinda hard figuring out how he fit in with all of the turtles coming from different places #but I think I figured it out #it’s like those ever popular separation aus #except they’re all meeting for the first time and there’s no angst #so not similar I guess #pix’s art dumps #rhythm turtle heaven #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt au #rottmnt #rottmnt au #rise of the tmnt #rhythm heaven fanart #rhythm heaven #rhythm heaven fever #rhythm heaven megamix

What's your favorite trope to read in fanfic?

hi! i thinkkk my favourites would be hurt/comfort (shocking, i know), slow burn, found family, and anything that kind of deals with trauma.

#ange answers #ngl my brain absolutely blanked at first #i was sitting here like what are tropes what do i like #existential crisis #bUT I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT #if anyone has cool fics i might like definitely let me know #(even though i don't have much time for reading rn i am incredibly behind on everything but PLS do it anyway)#(gimme)#also i did not mention but soulmates/soulbound stuff?#gooooooood #but i don't think i've really read many fics that dabbled with that #so if you know of a good one throw it my way <3

uhhhhhh he;s in my brain

criminal

#fixxitt #dominion smp #mishapen draws #not my best work but AHA KINDLY WRINKLES #anyone who pays attention to the way i draw faces knows that i am not afraid of an expressive wrinkle or two #i have always liked to add wrinkles and working up from the 'wrinkles means old' mentality #but this si the first time i have drawn wrinkles to make someone look older on purpose #which is why he looks like a grandpa instead of a kindly grandpa lmao i got excited about making #his eyes look so kind #like i have so many thoughts about the character and how his selfishness plays out even through the earnestness #of a redemption arc #but this version of his skin looks so friendly #i refuse to draw the v neck version #*which is why he looks like a grandpa instead of a kindly uncle augh #typo hell #i had a lot of fun playing with the colours tho i always have a problem with textures when im attempting to paint in more detail #which ends up screwing up the palette a whole bunch #but i think i figured it out #one of those drawings that gets really awkward how to make it look nice except this time #i won B) my power grows

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

#I'm so proud and happy for my coworker and I've been trying to figure out how to let him know how amazing I think he is #what gets me the most is that he's keeping this super down low to avoid giving any hints to his kid #he has a lot of queer friends so he already is known as an ally but there's always a chance it will be different if it's family #and he took that chance and crumpled it up into a ball and slam dunked it into the garbage for three points #and decided that even if his kid wants to hide it from him for the rest of his life he will still do what he can to make their life better #pflag #parents doing their best #parenting win #good news #allyship

cw: THIS IS NOT A FIC, the internet is simply my diary lmao. just a lil thing to get stuff about tumblr rn out of my head. read if you please, i also rly want to talk about this w/ppl 😭😭 (readmore bc i put this in fandom tags)

i recently have been feeling a certain kind of way about reading fanfic; if i find myself scrolling (bored/looking for fun stories as always) i kinda just quickly scroll through the whole page and give?? up??? like im not as excited as i used to be. this is for a few reasons:

1. i feel like a lot of fics are the same now 👍🏼 not a terrible thing, but i really look back to the quarantine era of "forced creativity" (a different conversation) and think about just how much people were writing; not to "give out content," but to truly explore an online writing community and do something that was worthwhile. the resurgence if the "[as]" trend on tiktok really put that into perspective for me: quarantine forced ppl to explore creativity, created job opportunities based on that (influencers/content creators as we now know them), and really pushed artistry to the point of basic normalcy. even though this was a cool kind of thing (seeing so many ppl create), our level of understanding art and its brilliance was lowered. which brings me to point 2-

2. a good amount of the "creative era" of quarantine was simply ppl replicating other ppl's original ideas, or straight out stealing them to add an extra topping of fame, bc ofc "everybody wants to be famous." my best examples of this are the two sides of the tiktok coin: dancing & damelio.

dancing became a big thing, and it made sense to start dancing trends; a trend is just popularity + replication. but charli damelio becoming famous for creating one of those trends and it later being stated that a completely different girl, jalaiah harmon, created it and had no recognition until the news came out?

and yes, she was on ellen, but that pales in comparison to the millions of dollars that the damelio family made bc of one instance of improperly following a trend.

and that's what i see now with multiple online spaces; they've become boring bc everyone is doing the same thing w/o giving proper credit to anyone. before content creation & whatnot became huge, no one irl would go around seriously saying tht they created some huge, celebrity-reach trend without being checked.

now, the difference between tiktok and fanfic pertaining to "trends" is based on power imbalance. no one is gonna believe a middle schooler saying that they started the trend of wearing skirts over jeans when it was very obviously some a-list celeb. in writing, you look to your favorite authors, poets, etc. and formulate your own writing style. whether that's word choice, plot format, or anything else you can cultivate to your own writing experience.

while you can always put your own spin on new dance/fashion trend, writing is different. you wouldn't put a spin on a classic in the same way: it would be a modern retelling, or smth symbolic of the original. adding an extra move is is not equal to adding an extra sentence. and that is what leads me to my final point-

3. writing is becoming/has became very formulaic. a good amount of fics in the most popular fandoms here follow a similar style. we see this with the short cycle of complaints that went around when the fic format of "short blurb with a group of character names under it" came about. along with the fact that the format probably came from the notoriously unoriginal & wattpad-esque booktok, everyone who wanted activity in their notifs was using that format. and so now, with every new group of teens that comes here to enjoy stories and explore writing, the new "trend" isn't a fully fleshed out story: it's like pushing out content.

i'm not complaining, and i'm not saying that everyone lacks originality. i enjoy whatever ppl put out bc i know that any form of writing comes from some place within. i am simply making a written observation of something i've noticed happen over the last couple of years- being a younger teen when it started, and now growing into the basics of adulthood.

the internet is my diary lol

#i had to get this one outta my system chat 😭👍🏼#like my morning routine has been wake up tumblr scroll for like 4 years atp #and there have been so many changes but it's still so? stagnant?? at least it feels like it now #and i was trying to differentiate and establish my feelings about why i felt that way #is it bc im getting older? i mean jfc im not old in the slightest 👎🏼 and it can't be tht i grew out of liking writing bc I STILL WRITE #AND READ #but i think i figured it out #isn't it so funny tht i usually think tumblr then notes app if i need to write a brain essay? like what is tht did i start doing tht lmaooo #anyway #gonna tag some fandoms to get some reach bc i want a discussion #mha #jjk #mha x reader #jjk x reader

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”

#Frankenstein #gothic literature #gothic lit art #victor frankenstein #happy new year lads #ive been thinking about nothing else but them for the past 3 days #been trying to figure out a decent design for victor and i think im getting closer #he needs to have a cruelness to him #and he needs to be kind of pathetic #someone who the creature could snap in half yknow #and i need to make the creature more Mean looking but it just feels right to draw him sad and despairing #THAT BEING SAID i think i did a good job here hehe #henry is next :)))#my art #illustration

*Spidey and the Sinister Six having their usual fight*

Doc Ock, landing a hit: You’re getting slow Spider-Man! Age finally catching up to you?

Spider-Man: You wish! I haven’t even hit my 30s! From those costumes I can already tell I failed to save you guys from those midlife crises! Sorry by the way.

Vulture: Watch it wallcr- wait… Did you just say your not in your thirties yet?

Spider-Man: Surprised that this spiders so young and spry? Well-

Electro: Dude I’ve been fighting you for at least 5 fucking years! How old even are you?

Shocker, joking cause he’s the only one who picked up no grown adult acts likes Spidey: Don’t swear in-front of the boy you don’t want him to pick it up.

Rhino: Christ! You’re tellin me I almost crushed some 12-year-olds skull all those years ago?

Spider-Man, regretting his quipping: I was not that young! Like just starting freshman year but-

Sandman, horrified as he’s the only one with a kid and dad instincts(as of my iteration): I could’ve killed a kid…

Shocker, genuinely curious: Are you even old enough to drink? Cruel to kill a man who ain’t had his first drink yet.

Electro: Please tell us you’re at least over 25 as of this fight. Hell, I’ll take over 21!

Spider-Man:….

Sandman, realizing just how young he really is: Oh my god.

Spider-Man: My birthday’s coming up soon so I guess it counts?

Doc Ock, exacerbated: It. Does. Not!

Vulture: What would your mother think if she knew her son was out here risking his life telling poorly constructed jokes?

Spider-Man, offended cause it quips slap: 1. My jokes are great 2. She and my dad are dead so-

Sandman, hysterical cause holy shit he almost killed a kid orphan: OH MY GOD!

#looking back I don't think I made the waist in the ''stylized'' figure small enough #but it's a close enough guess #the second one shows up in only 2 out of hundreds of illustrations but it IS captioned with 'i <3 chubby girls'#sergle.txt
