I exist, and that's someone else's problem.
Probably a real living person, but not big on sharing. Just another queer, autistic 18yo. They/Them please.

[I.D. Redraw of a meme using Leo from ROTTMNT and Beatrice, an oc. Both pictures are drawn as if Leo was taking them from his phone. In the first panel, Beatrice, a small pink humanoid turtle, is biting Leo's arm. She has glowing yellow eyes on her arms and face, and her hands end in tentacles rather than fingers. Her hands are wrapped around Leo's arm, holding it in place. In the second panel, Beatrice's extra eyes have disappeared, and their bright yellow color has faded. She has moved her head back from Leo's arm and has a small frown. Below both drawings is the caption "fucked up evil creature experiences remorse." End I.D.]
These are the kind of pics Donnie gets sent if he lets Leo babysit lol

I didn't like the "Jinshi carries an injured Maomao" scene in the anime. One of the primary charms of The Apothecary Diaries is that it retains a sense of realism in sacrifice of dramatic scenes.
The scene feels out of place, there is no talking, Jinshi is able to leave the building without being stopped and fussed over, and everyone is just...standing there. The aftermath of a would-be-fatal accident would have been chaos. Jinshi would have been forcibly separated from Maomao for his own protection. She may have been discarded on the floor until Jinshi, Gaoshun, or Lakan stepped in. I imagine Jinshi would been essentially powerless in the aftermath of the incident because he would have a swath of guards, officials, priests, and inevitably his family monitoring and questioning him. The scene also does a disservice for Jinshi's character because it feels too much like a k-drama. Jinshi would not calmly carry Maomao out himself in a crowd of passive onlookers. He is consistently frantic and unrestrained concerning Maomao. When Maomao is hurt he can't be calm and he uses his authority in her service. My guess would be that he was calling out orders for people to tend to Maomao's wounds- but because he is the sickly prince he would be ignored because his safety comes first. Which adds to his own resentment, being nothing but a pretty face who can't even protect his own people.
Additionally I think it removes a sense of mystery for Lakan, who in the anime is depicted as standing in shock while Jinshi coolly walks past. Lakan anticipated this, and would have prepared medics and other standby staff in advance (probably under the guise of a 'fortunate random drill'). Lakan also would have been actively advocating for Maomao's care, which would have come off as a "I just vouched for this person so get them fixed" kind of way. Following Jinshis inevitable removal from the pavilion, Lakan would be in charge of assessing the scene and victims. Also I feel like it severely dampens Lakan's reaction to Maomao being injured. He didn't see the full extent of her injuries from being hit but his reaction was clearly anger and resentment. I think it's out of character to have him standing agape when he would be plotting revenge.
The above is much more interesting than what we got in the anime, which prioritized slow, sensational fantasy over chaotic, in-character reality.

The Jinmao relationship in a nutshell
Maomao: I want to stay by your side. I will do anything you ask of me! I solve your problems. I will organize your marriage and your sex life. I will do anything for you even if it's detrimental for my health.
Jinshi: How about you marry me instead?
Maomao: No

Lakan really gets up every day, wears his evil, little monocle, does everything as suspiciously as he can just to be a silly little goose.

Maybe try modeling each version in your head and see what's more interesting? Idk might work.
Remember the Bujolde method of character development - figure out what the worst thing that can happen to a character is, and have that happen to them.
there's a specific incident that i've been planning for a while for the MCMT au, and its a big event that seriously impacts a lot of stuff about how the turtles are raised (even if neither they nor draxum fully realize it), but i CANNOT for the LIFE of me figure out where i want it to go in the timeline

imagine two mated wyrms twisting around each other, possessing an uncountable number of limbs, each claw of good or evil interlocked with its opposite, the coil twists further around itself into a skein of flesh. how i would describe DNA to a wizard

the "irreversible damage" book cover is still perhaps the most succinct demonstration of how the laserfocus the detranxiety movement has on muh poor little girls is fundamentally an outgrowth of the general terror about declining (white) birth rates and white woman fertility as a dwindling resource. like, what's actually wrong with the kitschy smiling little girl in that picture? she looks pretty content for someone "mutilated." is she missing her head, brain, heart, limbs or what? anything that would obstruct her in living out her 8 decades on this earth? hell no, it's much worse than that. it's something that actually matters. she's missing her ability to produce White Babies. you're telling me we've spent decades working to overturn roe or at least make it as difficult as possible and now that we succeeded they've found a way to weasel out of being a reproductive resource anyway? that just won't do.

Today I am thinking about weaving.
I can knit and crochet, but those crafts didn't exist in Roman times. Any historically accurate Roman cloth must be woven. So when a little potholder loom jumped into my shopping basket for 50 cents, it felt like a sign I should learn.
One potholder that was 50% yarn and 50% weird gaps later, I looked up a tutorial, and realized why the damn thing was 50 cents. I needed a better, more adaptable loom. And, because I am a cheapskate and slightly loony, I decided to make one instead of buying it.
So, how does this thing work?
First, you string the warp threads up and down, around the pegs. Here, I made a zigzag shape. Then, you use a needle or shuttle to weave more yarn over and under the warp, horizontally, back and forth. This produces woven fabric.
Some looms weave from the top, some from the bottom. This Greek urn shows two weavers working from the top. The left weaver uses a rod to compact the woven fabric upward, keeping it even and sturdy. The right weaver is passing an oval-shaped shuttle through the warp threads to form another row.
Most Roman looms would have looked like this, with the finished cloth at the top. Unlike my looms, these are warp-weighted. That means you keep the warp yarns taut by hanging weights at the bottom, rather than through a bottom row of pegs.
Warp-weighted looms also have a big advantage over my little potholder loom: you can easily create multiple sheds.
A "shed" is a temporary gap between lifted strands and non-lifted strands. Instead of having to go over and under each strand individually, you raise the entire shed, then pull the shuttle or needle straight through. This saves lots of time! Then, to weave the next row, you close the shed, lift up a different set of threads to create a new shed, and send the shuttle/needle through the other direction.
On a warp-weighted loom, the sheds are opened by loops called heddles (H), which are attached to a heddle rod (G). When the rod is down, shed (1) is open (middle diagram). When you pull the rod up, shed (1) closes and shed (2) opens instead (right diagram). Most warp-weighted looms also have a pair of forks you can rest the heddle rod on, to free your hands.
Here, there are three heddle rods and sets of forks, the heddles are white, and the warp thread is red. This gives you four different sheds, and the potential to weave very complex patterns indeed. Not bad for a device invented over 6500 years ago!
I liked the multiple heddle-rod design so much, I tried incorporating it into my DIY loom, too. I've tested both yarn and paperclips as heddles:
I actually got both sheds and heddle-rods working, too. Which is pretty cool for a lap loom - every other lap loom I found only has one shed, so you have to go over-under the individual threads on alternate rows.* More time-consuming. However, the sheds here are narrow, and I'll need a smaller and smoother shuttle to pass through them smoothly. This wouldn't be an issue on a warp-weighted loom, where the warp hangs freely downward, and can move more flexibly with the heddles.
Anyway. I may get a "real" loom at some point, but I wanted to build one first, and I think it gave me more appreciation for just how resourceful ancient weavers were. They created technology, clothing, and artwork out of very basic materials, and civilization depended on these skills.
Now, I need to go finish the...whatever the hell it will be. Big thanks to Wikipedia and to the lovely Youtubers who make this craft easier to learn. I think it'll be a lot of fun.
(*Edit - found out a rotating heddle bar can make two sheds on a lap loom! Exciting!!)

The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?
