A lot of older TMNT fans dislike the ROTTMNT designs for making the brothers barely look like turtles but actually I enjoy them looking mostly humanoid

They resemble the person they were mutated with a lot, they look like new species entirely and they went into drastically different direction with sharp, pointy dynamic lines, rather than huge round blobified shapes the other series were going for

Plus the designs and thought process behind each of them are amazing

Like, I could rant about Donnie’s design quirks for ages

thanks @bmoharrisbankofficial but unfortunately i can’t focus on the very important message here because i’m too busy being confused by the fact that apparently if you send an ask with only one letter tumblr will bold that letter in the “asked you” notification text?? why the fuck would that be the case

fascinating

what the fuck is the backend of this site like

Greetings, Reddit. I [22M] brought a creature to life that I assembled myself from various body parts in a nearby morgue. But when it opened its eyes... they were just so frightening! Like any man of rational thought, I fled from the beast. Unfortunately, the monster felt abandoned by my departure and left to commit heinous acts of murder. It misread the whole situation; if it had simply given me a few minutes to relax, I am positive I would have gone back to check on it. But I still feel rather guilty for some reason beyond my comprehension. AITA?

moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.

[image description: search that reads “country in africa that starts with K”. the featured snipped is from www.emergentmind.com and reads “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter "K". The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound, but is actually spelled with a "K" sound. It's always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.” /end ID]

[id: Screenshot of a conversation with ChatGPT. The human asks:

"How many times does the letter R appear in the word 'scintillate'?"

ChatGPT replies:

"The letter 'r' appears twice in the word 'scintillate'."

The human asks:

"Could you show me where the 'r's are?"

ChatGPT replies:

"Certainly! The letter 'r' appears in the word 'scintillate' in the following positions:

1. After the letter 's'

2. After the letter 'c'

So, the two instances of the letter 'r' are in the positions mentioned above." end id.]

@identifying-cars-in-posts this one might be really hard but you've done fictional cars before

1996-2002 Chevrolet Express/GMC Savanna

OK, I don't think you don't really do this but I would love if you explained your process behind this one, like what's the trail you follow to get to your conclusion??? I'm begging you to explain to us mortals!

I don’t usually, and my basic catch-all rundown of how i do it is in my pinned, but given it’s probably gonna be a second before i open my asks again i’ll give a quick run through of this one. (do not mistake this for setting a precedent, im just bored at the moment. i will not regularly be replying to stuff like this outside of asks) it was, weirdly, super obvious to me and i recognized it immediately, because there aren’t a ton of transit vans (which you can tell this is because you can see how long the interior is) with the taillights set that far up the rear of the vehicle, and i’ve seen so many of these 90s-early 2000s chevy express vans that i just recognize the taillight stack, with the turn signal at the bottom and the long narrow brake light flowing into the black trim with the divots. they’re so common around where i’ve lived, i’ve been stuck behind dozens of them in traffic. i did this id while walking to get a red bull on a break from work and there were two of this generation of chevy van parked within view of my job when i stepped out.

some of the ids, especially when it’s something like a close-up or an interior, i have to rely on using google lens, or if there’s a visible logo somewhere i go on a google image hunt, but a majority of the ones like this one or this jeep wrangler i snagged recently (i recognized the position of the spare wheel reflected in the rear window and the shape of the window hinge) really are just from a database of highly specific car design details that exists in my weird little brain. details like this that most people don’t even notice just tend to stick with me. so there’s some insight into how these work!

I want to say that with trans folk now being at risk of the fucking death sentence in Florida....

The time for community is Now. The time to start planning and organizing how to get our rights back is NOW. bring it up at your local LGBT craft events or book club or support group or whatever. Tell your friends. Spread the word. And maybe see which ones will have the safety and resources you'll need should a Lavender Hunt happen in your area.

And on the scarier end of reality....

This is fucking terrifying. Lots of people are at risk. Personally, I'm terrified this rhetoric will spread much like Trumpism did. I'm scared for my gf and I'm fucking scared for myself because we know historically that it isn't just trans folk on HRT or drag performers that they go after.

And you have every right to do whatever you need to protect yourself.

I'm not going to shame folks who quit HRT, who take the rainbows out of their bio, the people who start saying partner instead of revealing a gender, or anyone else taking a few steps towards the safety that the closet provides. WE shouldn't.

I fucking love you. And we'll be okay as long as we're together, okay?

We keep us safe

I looked up the lavender scare last night and was sadly unsurprised to see that the last time the community came together...was a lavender scare.

Pride was a riot because the government started doing to us then what Florida is doing to us now. It was triggered when a man was fired from his job on grounds of being gay and tried to take it to court.

This is why we have pride. This is why "think of the children" is/was an awful rhetoric to push at leather daddies and drag queens. It's not just a bad opinion or stupid discourse, it's a talking point for the right wing to justify fucking kill us.

It was never "just discourse" it was a right wing psyop to cripple us from coming together to fight against attacks just like this.

Your enemies aren't other queer people with labels you don't like. Those are your allies. Because you know who else doesn't like them?

Nazis.

And they don't like you either even if you have a "normal" queer identity and you don't make it "your whole personality" or whatever.

You're both still queer. And that's all they care about. Trying to placate bigots wont save you. Quit playing the part of "acceptable gay" and throwing everyone else under the bus.

Besides, that they WERE thinking of the children when they started those riots dressed in stuff that makes you squirm. They were thinking of You. Of your life. Your children. Queer children.

  • Broke: think of the children
  • Woke: think of where you'd be right now if Drag queens and leather daddies weren't there to throw that first brick. Think about about all the other people currently at risk of being killed through the Same Exact method that you had the privilege of escaping, precisely because of the people you can't stand.

Hey y'all please reblog this version so people can see the article and explanation, there are a few confused people only seeing earlier versions that dont explain the connection/threat because it doesn't have the article.

An interstate rainbow railroad.

For those unaware that's this. It's been done before.

A lot of people are scared. And I really, really want you to know that the riots started because someone scared asked for help and people answered

It wasn't organized. It just happened. People decided to risk it at a moments notice.

This is ours. And we've done it before.

Stormé Delariverie, the Stonewall Lesbian that triggered it all.

And everyone who was there for her.

Were just like us

So how do we do this?

I played that level in Mario Kart but that was it. I wanna be there for you, we all do, how do we do that?

I bet one of us could call and just ask. Who doesn't have anxiety. Oh wait it's posted on their site :)

Kinda reads like a How To 👀

Find your niche and offer it.

People need help, you figure out how/who can, and then you follow through.

  • Can you drive
  • have gas money
  • have extra food
  • Got some clothes or meds
  • An extra bed or couch
  • maybe even an extra property or hotel room to spare?
  • Do you have money for those things?
  • maybe you're able to connect people with needs to people who can help?
  • can you share/spread posts asking for help?
  • Or may you can just make them some tea while the host of the house is out cuz they don't want to be alone in a new place
  • Maybe you keep up morale by just being hopeful
  • can you somehow show that there are people who are taking steps to materially care for and support trans and other lgbta people in Florida?

What can You do?

Because you are not nearly as powerless as they want you to believe, especially with some help.

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

"Leo has a soft spot for Donnie"

and then I remember all the moments the snarky and chill Leo was sending Donnie these soft fond glances, was happily playing along with Donnie's antics, etc.
