Hello :D

You're so cool

Anyway have you thought that in your rat sons au Splinter might outlive the boys?

You're very cool :D love your stuff dude

(tw for some blood, light gore, implied overdose (kinda??))

hi copper!!! this is a fantastic question!

so obviously typical irl rats have far shorter lifespans than the average irl tortoise. according to google (yes, be awed by my spectacularly in-depth wealth of research) the average pet rat lives between 2-4 years ish, and the oldest on record lived to be about 7. meanwhile, an African spurred tortoise (Splinter's species) averages more around a 50ish year lifespan in captivity, tho is suspected to possibly exceed 75 or more in the wild.

Now, the mutation does give us a lot of wiggle room for playing with these numbers. For the rat sons boys, id say their natural lifespan probably clocks in at about 45-55 years old? definitely not old by human standards, but not young young either. (though, its also important to note that the boys were exposed to the mutagen just days after being born.)

For Splinter, meanwhile, aging is slightly more complicated. He lived the vast majority of his life as a regular normal African spurred tortoise (well, non-mutated at least. there were perhaps some shenanigans of a more mystical variety going on before he was mutated, but thats a separate matter) He was about 70ish i think? when the boys were born and they were all exposed to the mutagen. so he is already distinctly an old man turtle papa. id guess he'd probably still have another eh lets say 25-30 years after his mutation. he could probably push it a little farther even with some mystic nonsense, but when push comes to shove id say his 'natural' post-mutation lifespan would put his death like a solid decade or two before his sons.

of course, the tricky part of the matter is that theres no way for Splinter to know any of this. theres no way for him to know how the mutation affected them all, or if it even affected them all in the same way. especially since the boys dont show many physical signs of mutation for the first few years, and just kinda look like normal rats, (albeit with a more human sort of intelligence) — what sort of health standard do you hold them to? what if they simply dont show external signs of sickness or old age anymore? how do you actually know if something is wrong?

for a while there Splinter is very worried that one of his babies will just essentially reach the end of their normal rat lifespan, fall and not get up again.

so mostly, he just tries to live in the moment, enjoying whatever time he does have with his little ones, taking each day as a gift <3

still,

that fear

never

really

goes

away.....

Raphael criticizing mortals for “over reaching” while he himself is vying to be supreme archdevil despite being perfectly capable of dying by our hand is delicious btw. Obsessed with the irony of his blind ambition.

#bg3 #bg3 raphael #obviously he’s not expecting to be killable but the fact he thinks he’s anywhere near his father’s and father’s cohorts’ league is funny #Also obsessed by how upset he is yelling he’s not a Mortal when you try to retort this to him #you’re a cambion not a devil #still dangerous but an important distinction #he wants to be a devil so badly though #it’s almost tragic #clawing your way to a top that is destined to always be clawed for #don’t get me wrong I don’t feel bad for him but I am Marinating in his multifacetedness #bg3 meta

That post going about with the photo of Lizzie and Tommy captioned ‘destined to end in heartbreak’…

You could put that caption under any photo of Tommy and someone else, and it would apply.

it’s as if there's a Theme here

#The most hilarious one I could think of was Tommy and Mr Greene #or maybe one where Tommy and Arthur are staring In That Way at Polly and that young guy at the Garrison in S2: ‘destined for heartbreak’#honestly even a photo of Tommy happily patting Dangerous ‘destined for heartbreak’#PB: that contemporary romcom where everything ends in heteronormative patriarchal bliss and a happily ever after

Kanghan's father has never allowed him to prove himself, never given him the chance. And we see how heartbroken Kang is after his father yet again goes and does whatever he thinks is good for his son even though Kang respectfully wanted this to be a challenge to overcome.

Sailom encourages him to study for Sailom's sake. Screw everything else, do it for me! Look at them hugging in the pool. Reminds me of PeteKao, except they had a nice kiss. Well, they already faked kissed, so I'm not going to hold it against them.

They knew each other as kids!!! Damn. Sailom is seriously feeling this now. Look at his cute smile. Is he trying to kill me before this show ends?

#dangerous romance the series #dangerous romance #thai bl drama #sailom x kanghan #kang x sailom #perthchimon #they've become so close so soon #i can't process this #they are linked from childhood #they were destined for each other

Remember that this world which you covet so ardently and attempt to acquire so earnestly, and which sometimes annoys you and sometimes pleases you so much, is neither your home nor a permanent destination. You have not been created for it, nor invited to it as your resting-place. It shall neither remain with you for ever, nor will you remain in it eternally. If it has enticed you away with its charrns, it has also warned and cautioned you of real dangers lurking in its folds. Take account of the warnings it has given you and do not be seduced or deceived by its allurements. Let these warnings frighten you from being too greedy to possess it. Try to advance towards the place where you are invited for eternal bliss and turn your face away from the vicious world.

so v glad I am finally writing fanfic abt this stupid show I am brainrotting over SO bad cuz. oh my god this was so much fun to write wtf in love seriously with them (especially jang si-yu <3 he’s so looser <3)

“Did you just think — NO,” he adds loudly. He explicitly makes a big cross with his arms to get his point across. “NO! N-O!” “I wasn’t talking about those kind of dreams! This was a very pure dream. I am a very pure person and I wouldn’t have those kind of dreams about yo—”

She tunes out the rest of whatever he’s saying. For a person who declares himself as pure, he sure is the furthest thing away.

“…and it’s not like I asked for this, you were the one who made that love —”

He’s still talking.

“Okay, whatever.” Lee Hong-Jo says, shaking her head. She had enough. “I’m getting out now.”

“….Wait… at least let me take —”

The door shuts close.

“….you home…”

His stretched out arm is left out hanging.

He takes it back and cradles it against his chest.

Sitting in his car, very alone now, Jang Si-Yu’s heart aches terribly. He stares out of the window, watching as Lee Hong-Jo’s figure disappears and with it, the ache in his heart increases fatally.

This damned love potion.

“Get it together, Jane Si-Yu,” He tells himself sharply, slapping his face to shake it off. But he can’t direct his eyes away from the spot she disappeared.

He already misses her.

What if he got up and followed after —

No. Get it together, Jang Si-Yu! He can’t loose to this love potion.

Determinedly, he jerks his head away. It doesn’t move. Slowly, with force, he mechanically turns it inch by inch to the front of his car and drives away. It only takes over ten minutes.

The heartache doesn’t go away but throbs insistently while he knows Lee Hong-Jo is completely fine and mooning after that guy. She must be so happy, when he’s like this.

#destined with you #00:40 #IM NOT OKAY ABT THEM #I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I AM GOING CRAYYY #I LOVE JANG SIYU SO MUCH AND HIS ANTICS #PLS HES SO <3 #I did have some kind of plan for this wip but it’s already v off course #v on brand of them #this was insanely fun to write wtf I wanna write more of them #this had barely interactions between them 🙄#I NEED MORE #chop chop me #get going #at one point I was in danger of combusting if I didn’t write anything. the danger has passed now thankfully<3 #wip: dreams of u

the titanic tourist submarine thing is wild and it is consuming my every thought but i’ve seen so many tweets like “oh so everyone will talk about this but nobody cares about migrants dying at sea” and i honestly think these people have to be wilfully naive to not understand that people are talking about the submarine thing so much because it’s a conflagration of like a million truly nightmarish events (it is lost, they were looking for the literal titanic which is so insanely deep in the ocean, it’s a tiny confined space at extreme pressure and they may actually still be alive down there if the hull hasn’t been impacted because they had air supply for 96 hours), plus they all decided to get in that tin can and paid $250k to do so. of course this is going to have a long news cycle. like i’m obviously saddened and outraged by these other events which aren’t getting nearly enough attention, but idk why anyone is acting surprised about it?

#ive seen so many stupid ass takes lol #some guy defending the fact that rich ppl are seeing the titanic as a tourist destination #like he objected to the fact that people were calling it a graveyard & said “well people dive to shallower shipwrecks all the time!”#like yeah ok but the risk with those other wrecks is minimal. the titanic is like INSANELY deep man. like do you know how deep it is #nobody should be going down there just to say they went down there #it’s exactly the same as rich ppl climbing everest as a vanity project. like do you know how dangerous it is!!! do not do that!!!!!

This is the first time Luffy is picking a random destination from the new log pose (and he didn't get his first choice, oop) They ignored it for Punk Hazard and have had set destinations until now.

#opspoilers #one piece #nam was so scared he'd pick the most dangerous destinations #but he's never had the chance
