Happy Truce and Happy New Year @auroraphantasma I'm your gifter for the Truce this year. XD
I liked the idea of found family and Danny having role models he can look up to and learn from so I went with the first prompt:
Lost time (mentor/parental Clockwork + Danny), (all my prompts are kinda found family themed bc i love this scrunkly teen ghost getting adopted by increasingly weirder/more powerful beings); i love them interacting, hanging out and joking doing pranks.
Couldn't decide how to illustrate this relationship either so it turned into three moments when Danny appreciates having the master of time around. (Being saved in the nick of time) (Getting help with his history homework) (Finding that Clockwork has taken his time to ensure Danny gets a good night's sleep.)
Now onward to a new year. ^^

Plural culture as an anger holder, persecutor, and protector, is getting more and more annoyed at how much ppl on this community seem to think labeling sexuality and gender is one of the most important things ever.
It's not apart of my job to be attracted to people, or label how I feel.
I've had ppl try and tell me I'm aroace because I don't care to be attracted to people. I'm not.
If I was anything, it would be wholey unlabeled.
Let alters not label themselves, because for some of us, it's not fucking important. We don't need to. We have more important shit going on than who we want to fuck

Random Turtle HC: Raph & Anxiety
Tumblr media
*clears throat and approaches microphone before hitting whiteboard with a ruler* A-HEM! Behold my theories peasants!
As we see expresses in the VERY 1st episode of ROTTMNT, the turtles can recognize each others signature scents and can smell fear.
Raph especially is shown briefly through the brothers dialogue to be the most aware and self conscious about said scent to the point of becoming defensive about it.
This leads me to believe that due to both natural biological olfactory senses and increased abilities due to mutation, the turtle brothers (with an advanced ability tipping to Raph due to his size and sensitivity) can actually smell the hormone cortisol.
WebMD defines cortisol as, “Your body’s main stress hormone. It works with certain parts of your brain to control your mood, motivation, and fear.”
Simply put, the turtle boys can literally smell fear.
Now I know you’re asking yourself, “Okaaaaaay cool fun fact I guess, what does that have to do anything with me?”
*takes a step back and adjust glasses with a smirk*
My dear dear fellow tumblr, allow me to share the wonders of mixing fact, madness and media all in one! *sounds of maniacal cackling can be heard*
(I wrote this with the intent to be platonic but it could be romantic if you squint long enough)
•So we've established Raph can smell fear right?
•As a protective big brother who is quite literally in fact “BIG” he knows a thing or two about getting scared
• Especially when it comes to looking out for people he cares about
•Hes been fighting baddies for his family since he was a tot! From keeping away scary dreams at night, from crushed ancient metal zombies to terrifying alien virus monsters, there ain't much he hasn't seen
•So when you join the ranks of the Mad Dogz, you immediately also get a built in prtoector
•Raphs been looking out for the little guys his whole life, what's one more?
•Not to mention you're kinda cute, so he doesn't mind sticking around a little bit closer
•But you're different than most folks, Raph notices. I mean besides the fact that you WILLING want to be friends with 4 mutant turtles of all things.
•No besides your abnormal incredible bravery in looking beyond the status quo to reach out the hand of friendship to these reckless reptiles, Raph noticed that you just kind of…smelled
•Not in a bad way or anything just…you always seemed to have a lingering scent of fear on you
•And Raph would know. Hed recognize that scent anywhere. It's a scent that ghosts every hour of every day for him. Nighttime and being alone especially.
•Raph hates being scared. He's the biggest and the oldest. He's supposed to look after his peeps! And he can't do that if he's frozen with fear all the time!
•So what does he do? Raph faces the problem head on like he always do.
•You get scared a lot. That's understandable, but Raph decides to make it his business that you don't need to be scared when he's around.
•Raph’ll protect ya
•Be prepared to have this turtle subtly (orrer not to much so because although he's a ninja he ain't exactly tactful or subtle) watching you every time you and the gang get all together
•Its not hard. You've always caught his attention for some reason or another. So looking at you is something he does without even realizing it.
•He’s looking for triggers, anything that gets that heart rate of yours spiking and that scent start to waft.
•Fidgeting hands, bouncing knees, shutting down and slinking into your hoodie, nervous chewing, pulling or playing with your hair and pacing, he's got eyes on it all.
•Once a trigger has been spotted, Raph immediately tries to locate the source
•Too many people? Suddenly you find a 6ft something giant turtle behind you, letting you know with his massive presence alone that he got your back. Literally.
•He kinda likes this position because he can see everyone that comes close enough to interact with you and everybody can see him.
•All he's got to do is narrow his eyes a little a give em a flash of that all too familiar snaggle tooth of his if he thinks someone's being mean and he gets his unspoken threat across just fine
•Not to mention you're also close enough to grab if someone he doesn't deem fit for your attention gets a little too close for his liking. But he doesn't say that part out loud.
•Scared of talking? You suddenly feel the cool tip of his massive scaely alligator tail (anatomically correct alligator tail be darned, I'm going with the fandoms HCs for this one) gently wrapping around your ankle as a physical reminder that he's right there here to support you
•Overwhelmed and the world feels like it's closing in on you? Raphs massive size is a natural battering ram that allows him to pass through thick crowds with easy. He's not afraid to help heard you into a quiet little corner away from it all
•Years of practice with Donnie allows him the experience to ask you if you're good with touch.
•If yes, you know you're going to be instantly wrapped into his arms, pulled flushed up against the worn keratin of his plastron. Raph’s always been more of “hands-on experience” kinda of guy anyway.
•Raph gives good hugs. They're firm and tight, padded with the security of arms who have been holding the weight of the world for years.
•He will rest his chin on top of your head, gently guiding your head with the motion ever so slightly so you're somehow perfectly nestled right against his heart.
•It's a loud heart, especially when you're up so close. It's actually his strongest muscle and one he's most proud of. He cares about you, so he reckons he’ll allow you the privilege of getting close to it. In more ways than one.
•Raph doesn't talk much during these special security hugs. He's never really been much good with words anyways. Raph knows sometimes the noise can be too much, but he also knows that the silence can be defeaning. So being a turtle comes with some built in perks that make up a happy medium.
•Hes got a special churr saved for special situations just like this one. It's one of the lowest and deepest ones he's capable of making. More akin to a muted growl more than anything the way it vibrates his chest as you're pressed up against it. You can feel it more than hear it and it just takes a handful of minutes listening to this bad boy before Raph can sense your fear stink slowly dissipating and your natural sweet scent can return.
•Raph can smell fear, and there's something incredibly humbling for this Atlas of a turtle to have the sweet experience of watching that scent drift away whenever he gets the privilege of being close to you like this.
•”You don't need to be scared no more, Sweet Pea. Raph’s got ya. I'm gonna be right here until you're ready to face the world again. Until then, let me just hold ya.”
Dedicated to the one and only @anobodyinabog. Sorry this took so long,but I hope your day gets better Shortcake. Please know you're always looked out for and loved ok? 🧡❤️

Here’s some positivity for traumatized system protectors!
Being a headmate with a protective role can at times be exhausting, challenging, overwhelming, and downright scary. System protectors often face difficult, violent, or frightening situations in order to protect the rest of their system, and sometimes this can come at a great cost to the protector’s own health and well-being. This post goes out to all the system protectors out there who have been traumatized in some way!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors whose trauma history has made them jumpy, nervous, awkward, or easily startled!
💖 Shoutout to protectors who are also trauma holders, or whose trauma causes them to be separated from the rest of their system!
☀️ Shoutout to ex-protectors and those who are no longer able to effectively protect their system due to their trauma history!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who split to cope with a traumatic situation and now can only front when their system is facing new trauma!
💖 Shoutout to protectors who are often dissociated, listless, dazed, or confused!
☀️ Shoutout to protectors who feel like they can’t relate to or connect with the rest of their system!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors whose trauma has left them angry, bitter, irritable, or spiteful!
💖 Shoutout to protectors who are not brave or tough, or who struggle to meet the expectations of their headmates or others outside their system!
☀️ Shoutout to protectors whose trauma has caused them to develop a subsystem or strange, unorthodox, or maladaptive coping habits!
🛡 Shoutout to protectors who struggle with flashbacks, panic attacks, depression, nightmares, or other symptoms of PTSD!
💖 Shoutout to protectors who stay loving fiercely and are committed to practicing kindness, compassion, and generosity despite their trauma history!
It is an unfortunate fact that many system protectors may form as a result of trauma or end up traumatized at some point in their lives. We genuinely hope that each protector who reads this can find hope, peace, comfort, and recovery in their future! Know that it’s okay for a protector to need or want support or a break every now and then. It’s okay to slow down, take a step back, acknowledge your needs, and breathe!
Please remember that you are valued and deserving of love and respect just the way you are. Regardless of your current capabilities, how you are coping with your trauma, and how you currently understand yourself and your system, you are worthy of kindness and compassion, no ifs ands or buts about it! We care about you, and we truly wish that you can find the resources and support you need in order to live your best life. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

Friendly reminder to all protectors that you're a person too and you're allowed to just exist. You're allowed to front when something non stressful is happening. You're allowed to have hobbies or interests that aren't tied to being a protector. You're allowed to chill and relax a little, you're not stealing time from anyone I promise. You're allowed to cry or be sad or upset, you're not weak or a "bad protector" for doing so. You're a person too. It's great that you protect them but remember, you're not a shield, you're a person. You matter as much as the rest. The world won't end if you let yourself relax and live a little, I promise. You don't have to be strong all the time and I'm sorry if that is your current circumstance though, I promise it gets better. Just let yourself live and be a person. You've already done so much for them. You deserve some breaks and affection too

Hekate: The Warrior of Light, Bringer of Justice, and Guardian of the Vulnerable
Tumblr media
Hekate, a multifaceted goddess often associated with magic, crossroads, and lunar mysteries, has a lesser-known but equally compelling role as a warrior. This article delves into this overlooked aspect, exploring her participation in mythological battles, her symbolic torches of wisdom and justice, and her enduring role as a protector of the vulnerable.
The Warrior in Mythological Context
In Greek mythology, Hekate's warrior aspect comes to the forefront during the Gigantomachia, the epic War of the Giants. Allying herself with the Olympian gods, she took up arms against the Giants, formidable beings birthed by Gaia, the Earth Mother, as a form of cosmic retribution. Hekate's nemesis in this battle was the Giant Klytios.
According to the Greek mythographer Pseudo-Apollodorus, Hekate vanquished Klytios using firebrands. This act was not merely a testament to her martial capabilities but also symbolized her role as a bringer of enlightenment—both in the literal and metaphorical sense.
The Symbolism of Her Torches
Hekate's twin torches are not just instruments of war; they are potent symbols of wisdom, knowledge, and the mysterious realms of life. In a world where the notion of a singular 'truth' can lead to division and strife, Hekate's torches guide us toward a more nuanced understanding of justice. They illuminate the path to personal responsibility and individual truth, dispelling the shadows of ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry.
Hekate as a Bringer of Justice
In her role as a warrior, Hekate also embodies the concept of justice. Her torches serve as beacons that light up the dark corners of human existence, revealing injustices and inequalities. By guiding us toward wisdom and personal responsibility, she empowers us to become warriors for justice in our own right.
The Protector of the Marginalized
While Hekate may not wear traditional armor or carry a sword, her torches offer a unique form of protection. They serve as guiding lights for those navigating the labyrinthine complexities of life, particularly for those who are marginalized or vulnerable. In this role, Hekate emerges as a guardian, her radiant light serving as a bulwark against the forces that seek to exploit or harm the weak.
Relevance in the Modern World
In today's volatile landscape, where fear, mistrust, and polarization are increasingly prevalent, the symbolism and teachings of Hekate are profoundly relevant. Her torches remind us that wisdom, justice, and compassion are potent weapons against the darkness that threatens to consume our world. They inspire us to stand up for what is right, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to seek wisdom as a path to a more just and equitable society.

Known by many as "Elf Giants", Leshin are the dour protectors of the ruined groves. They roam within the last remaining forests of the world; guarding the fauna within from potential hunters.
Leshin are a dying race in the Great No-Man's Land. Their homes were long destroyed and they cling to whatever still remains. Some have turned murderous, while others have become nihilistic and depressed. Yet their hope and dedication to the preservation of forest life, is what keeps this ruined world from wasting away.
