Just noticed that I haven't showed the upload version of the character lineup and design for my TMNT au
What if TMNT took place in São Paulo, Brasil instead of NYC?
Donatello is a Green Sea Turtle, he has an expandable bo staff and he specializes in machines and underwater combat. He's the fastest of his brothers inside the water and has a part covered in water that he calls his lab. However he's the slowest in land and has some difficult on fighting in land.
Michelangelo is a Tracajá (Yellow Spotted Amazonian River Turtle), he's the youngest and is the fastest of his brothers on land, he also has a natural camouflage that all tracajás have. Miguel has alongated claws that helps him in fight when he isn't with his weapons, altought he has to be extra careful with them to not hurt his family and friends
Rafael is a Cherry Head Tortoise. He's the tank of the team, always stepping in to the fight first to protect his brothers, especially Donnie (Donatello can't go inside his shell, Sea Turtles can't do that). He does have rage outbursts but is learning how to deal with it by cooking and baking. He always have some sort of snack inside of his shell (granola bars, chocolate,etc). He doesn't know how to swim, so he's usually paired with Donnie in missions.
Leonardo is a D'orbigny's Slider, he's the eldest and the leader of the team. He worries too much about every single thing, he wants to follow his father steps and become a great ninja. Leonardo always has a plan C just in case. He munches his bandana when he gets bored or when he dissociates. He cares too much about missions, but the safety of his brothers are his number one priority and he has little to none self preservation.
Heyyy, I know I don't do this kinda stuff for a while by now, the last time was abt palestine ig? (Don't forget about palestine y'all)
But palestine is not the point of this post, I wanna talk about a tragedy that is happening on my country, Brazil, on a State called Rio Grande do Sul..
For those who don't know:Rio Grande do Sul is suffering the biggest tragedy ever seen in Brazil, because of the frequent heavy rains that are happening in the country, Rio Grande do Sul is suffering floods and flooding, all cities were affected and the water dams simply cannot handle everything. Seriously, the water level is VERY strong, MANY people were left homeless because their homes were FLOODED, do you realize what it's like to lose EVERYTHING overnight?
Not to mention how many people have DIED and are MISSING, when the water level drops, do you know what will be in the streets? Bodies. Bodies of people who were unable to save themselves. Citizens, police officers and the fire department are rescuing people and animals with CANOES, which soon become too full to hold more people, they are using helicopters to save people who are on the ROOF of their homes to save themselves, the situation is alarming..
Do you know the audio reports of people I heard? Do you know what people say on then? People who are volunteering to save others in canoes have many of their reports posted on tiktok or instagram, here is a very small part of what I heard:
"One of the children kept asking for a doll that was floating in the water... I went to get the doll, it wasn't, it was a baby, it was a dead baby."
"4 girls were on the roof, I went there and 2 of the girls said: 'You're going to take us all, right Mr?' So I said 'I will, I will' and one said: 'Take our little sisters too'... the girls were dead. . I didn't have the courage to leave their bodies there and I took them with us."
"I saw my dead dog floating in front of me, take care of Mark for me *the audio was cut off because the water interrupted.*"
Please, please boost this to help Rio Grande do Sul, please donate with as much as you can, it can be 54 cents, 1 dollar, 1 real, just please help the the people who were left homeless by the flood.
This is the Pix qr code to donate made by the State Government, but you can find many other donation links with just a little search, I'll try to post some of them with a reblog.
In brazil, there's been having a lot of floods in the southern region of the country, more specifically in the state of Rio Grande do Sul
Every day people are dying , cities are submerged, a single city was erased from the map for being totally underwater.
"Sadly the city of Eldorado RS, doesn't exist anymore - The city was totally covered by water"
Everyday, people have to witness everything they've built get lost admist the water, people have to live with floating bodies of adults, children, toddlers, newborns, animals, dogs, cats, elders, every possible life in these cities are being taken away by the floods.
People spend day and night on rooftops, waiting for boats to save them, but not everyone comes out alive.
Hear this audio:
The man says: "Hey Gabriela, deal with what I'll tell you now, there was three children at the boat with me, one of them asked me to pick up a doll that was floating, and I went to grab the doll. It wasn't a doll, it was a baby, a dead baby."
It's the reality of what's happening in Brazil right now when you're reading this.
Sadly, I can't share more than one video here on Tumblr, but theres an audio of a woman thanking her parents for everything, saying she loved them and asking them to take care of her dog Maicon, in the audio, she said she didn't feel her legs, that she felt like she was hallucinating, that the water was almost at her chin, that she was about to die, that her other dog died. After the woman spoke, the sound of the roof breaking and falling was heard in the background, sounds of water splashing, and after the audio was sent, she died, submerged in the ruins of her own underwater house.
We can't do much, but if whoever is seeing this post could donate for help, it would be a step closer to salvation of more and more people.

Lewis laughing because Bono thought he wasn't using the tyres but actually the car was so washed and the tyres so gone that Lewis had been pushing for five laps without the pit wall knowing 💀
also for anyone wondering, the portuguese word for pyjamas is just "pijamas" and currently there's only a one hour time difference between ohio and rio de janeiro
