“You’re late.”

“Sir.”

“47 minutes this time.”

Heavy sigh.

“27 the last and an hour and a half prior to that. You have two assigned patients total, one of which is no longer in critical condition and yet, here you are, late for the last round of your shift.”

“If you think-!”

“133 Pitt St, Apartment 3B, New York, NY 10002.”

Sharp inhale.

“Contain your personal life. You shouldn’t have moved in with your boyfriend so fast. Of course, he’s cheating on you. If your sloppy time management skills are any indication, you were never meant to be a suitable partner.”

“THAT’S ENOUGH!!! I’M THROWING YOU OUT! I DON’T CARE THAT-!”

“Again!?”

“NO! NO MORE! I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I REFUSE TO-!”

“Please, ma’am! I’m begging you! I know! I know what he’s like and he’s a million percent at fault, but if you could-!”

“He just said my home address.”

“Eugh boy…”

“He’s cruel. He’s mean! He never stops! He’s-”

“Ma’am…”

“No! Don’t you ma’am me again! Do you know how many nurses have refused to serve this room! You are down to less than a handful and mark that down as one less because there’s no way in hell I’m coming back here. I’m filing a fucking police report. I’ve had enough of this shit. He threatens us. He lies. He antagonizes. He hovers! He’s a stalker! He’s a bastard! He should have been kicked out the moment he pulled that stunt in intake! I bet he was the one who did this to-!”

Slam.

“H-He-!”

“Donatello!”

Slam.

“Get out of my way, Leonardo.”

“Do you want to be cut off!? That’s what you’re fucking doing! We’ve been busting our fucking butts to keep you in here, but that’s enough!! Don’t you get it?! Do you want to be here when Y/N wakes up or do you want to be miserable and alone!?”

Snivel.

“She… insinuated… that I…”

“I know.”

Rustle.

“I know.”

“I didn’t…”

“I know…”

Sigh.

“I’m taking charge.”

Sharp inhale.

“That’s the only way this is going to work. You threatened her, idiot. What the fuck did you think was going to happen?”

Hmph.

“Ma’am…”

“You think I was gonna be moved by that?”

“Look, I get it. This is… There isn’t a way to explain this. All I can promise you is that if you can… find it in your heart to let this incident slide, there won’t be another.”

…

“I’m taking full blame, full responsibility. If he acts out of turn again, he’s banned. I’ll make sure of it.”

…

“Please.”

Heavy sigh.

Clink.

“You saved… my sister two years ago from a monster… er-“

“Monster. I’m not sure it was a mutant.”

“Right.”

“Yeah.”

“That’s… I’m only doing this because of that. Not for him. Fuck him. Hey! Yeah, I’m talking to you. Fuck you.”

…

“Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me yet.”

Squeak.

Squeak.

Squeak.

-

“And one cup of absolutely burnt coffee for the-!”

…

“I knew it!!!”

Clatter.

“Donatello!”

“Don’t.”

“I knew you were hiding something, but this-!”

“Get back.”

“What did you inject yourself with!?”

“That doesn’t concern you.”

“The hell it does! You think you can-!?”

“Don’t you dare touch me.”

“I didn’t mean-!”

“You know why, now leave it.”

Bang.

“I heard yelling! What’s going on? Donatello!”

“It’s alright, Lee.”

“Don’t you pull that shit! What happened!?”

“It’s fine.”

“Knock it off! No, it’s not! You’re going to let him talk to you like that?! What was that?! I was gone for five seconds!”

“Leo.”

“Don’t ‘Leo’ me, Mikey! Everything that happens is on me. Don’t you get that? You need to tell me what just happened!”

…

“Well!?”

“I got too friendly, Leo. Nothing else. I swear it.”

…

 “Damnit…”

-

“It’s been 2 weeks.”

…

“Donatello.”

…

“Say something.”

“I keep time. Down to the second.”

“Then you’ll know that you haven’t slept. Not once.”

…

“Donatello.”

“I fatigue of hearing my name come from your mouths.”

Heavy sigh.

Creak.

Squeak.

Wane.

“I… I know what this is like.”

…

“I know you know why I know.”

…

“It’s not going to get easier.”

…

“I know you don’t want to hear this.”

“You presume too much.”

“Donatello!”

“What? Why do you insist on pleading your case? Why do any of you? You think of yourselves so highly. You are wretches. You are sheep parading yourselves as saviors. You flock if only because you are too feeble to attempt anything alone! You think I need you? I never have! I never will! You have hitched yourselves to a technicality at best! That I let you live and occupy the same vicinity as Y/N is happenstance at best! Yet you press! You always press. Always. You never stop! You never have!!! You will plague me for my lifetime and I will never be rid of you so, please, pray tell, Raphael, what wisdom on this dimension or any other could you possibly think to disturb me with this time!?!”

…

…

…

…

“Ya done?”

“I should have-!”

Scrape.

Crash.

…

“You need to eat and drink. Actual food. Actual water. Y/N will need you when they wake up. All I was gonna say. I’m taking my turn outside. Try considering that we might care about something other than you once in a while.”

Step.

Step.

Fuzz.

Someone left an ancient video set on.

It was plugged in for the sake of it.

Or it was being checked.

To see if it was still operational.

Something was beeping.

Not overly loud, but enough that it made a thrum in the room.

It smelled clinical.

Dry, but with a must of synthetic polish, it spoke of industrially cleaned linens and hospital corridors.

There was an actual hum.

The kind that came from fluorescents when they painted everyone a sickly hue.

Something was in your mouth.

A twitch found a tube in your nose.

You were cold.

Every breath came with an ache and numbness.

It all channeled down your throat. 

You were layered up with blankets.

Three parts of you were free as far as you could tell.

Your left arm.

Stiff, folded, and holding emphasis.

Your head.

Lying on a papery substance concealing more than one pillow.

Your right hand.

Only emerged enough for something stuck to the back of it and large digits cupped between your loose fingers.

Two digits.

Two long, thick fingers.

You squeezed with as much force as you could manage.

You heard a little grunt.

You shifted to dig your nails.

“Woah there.”

Not Donnie.

That wasn’t Donnie.

It wasn’t Donnie.

You made a weary noise and tossed lightly against your pillow in dismay.

The thing in your mouth shifted.

You choked.

“Shh. You’re okay. Breathing tube. I know, I know. I also know I’m not the one you want, but I can get him. Can you hang tight for me, kay?”

The fingers returned the hold.

Eyes.

You wanted your vision.

You cracked a lid and winced it back shut at the light.

“You’re in the hospital. I’ve got you.” Another hand came to touch your leg in a neutral, but reassuring way. “You with me?”

Knowing there was too much white, you opened your eyes slower this time and glimpsed Leo leaning over you.

“Hey, Y/N.”

You croaked.

“That’s all the confirmation I need.” He gave your hand a final squeeze before walking to the end of your bed. “Any more false starts and he’d lose it. The roving eye thing has been a nightmare.” 

Gaze adjusting by the second, you watched him slice open a portal and Donnie clamber through with a rush of sound. “You had seven more minutes before you were meant toI-! Does that mean-!?”

Leo stepped out of the way and held out an arm. 

Donnie rounded his head and was at your side before you could blink.

Function was difficult.

He cradled your hand close and you saw the wire attached to it.

Tracing it drearily, you found several bags sitting above you dripping liquid directly into your veins.

Coming back down, Donnie had tears in his eyes and a watercolor smile on his lips. “Y/N.”

You creaked, rusty on your intubation.

“Yes! We’ll get that right out if possible! Of course!” He brought his beak down and kissed the tips of your fingers. “Procedure says you should first explain whereabouts as a patient may be confused.” Donnie gave a sharp nod. “Y/N. There has been a travesty. We were in the Hidden City when we were ambushed. We-I-No-We were drugged… and you… you were…” Tears threatened to fall and he choked with a swollen throat.

You squinted at him.

None of that made sense.

You didn’t remember anything like that.

You remembered.

You remembered.

You remembered a beach.

You remembered a love potion.

You remembered rolling in the sheets with your mate.

You remembered.

You made a fearful noise and pulled at your body.

None of it came as it should.

Your arm wasn’t just folded, it was taped down to your chest.

In fact, most of your body was constricted.

The pull clanged along muscle groups and you felt a pulse trained inwards on your abdomen.

Shooting sparks of pain straight into your gut, you gave a soft pained cry and tried to kick.

Only one leg responded.

The other was lead and weighed down.

You were choking.

“Y/N, w-wait! P-please!” Donnie refused to touch any more of you.

“Donatello.” Leo appeared just behind him.

“Don’t. It won’t. Not now.” Donnie went to snap at the blue turtle.

Leo stared back, stoic. 

“Don’t…” Donnie managed, gaze falling.

“Y/N.” Leo took to the other side of the bed and reached in to adjust a strap of bandage on your shoulder. “Listen. You’re at the Mount Sinai on Madison. You were in emergency, then the ICU, then you got assigned a room. Saying you were banged up is an understatement. You almost died. You might have, if we hadn’t…”

Relegating to pupil movement, you first stared at Leo, then checked with Donnie.

Your boyfriend gave a sharp nod where he’d taken Leo’s seat at your side and your hand.

You rasped.

“They had to medically induce a coma so we could figure out what substance you were injected with. You were considered an overdose patient until then. S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. cracked it and passed the info along so they could treat you. Then you… didn’t wake up. They considered it a regular coma after that. You were stabbed in your shoulder, miracle it missed any of the three arteries there. You’ll have a hell of a time with physical therapy for the muscle though. Your left femur is broken, but that… We’ll get into that later. You were cut along the ribs and stabbed in the right upper torso, into the liver. You were in surgery for hours. Internal bleeding… concussion… broken bones, you name it.”

You made a flighty grunt.

Donnie squeezed you.

You sent him a weak flick of your eye.

Leo sighed softly. “Button time?”

“I hit it a moment ago.” Donnie answered, not looking away from you.

Leo nodded and put his hands on his hips. “Ready, Y/N?”

Leo. 

Donnie. 

Together in the same room. 

It only occurred to you now that there was an issue with that. 

There was so much happening. 

All of it was wrong. 

You shifted your pupil between the two and translated what you hoped was a question.

“I’m assuming you’re wondering about this?” Leo pointed between him and Donnie. “Another explanation for later because you’re going to want to sleep after what’s about to happen… I sure as hell did.”

He walked to a corner and you wanted to know what he meant, but a nurse walked in. “Oh…! How are you feeling!?”

What followed was torturous. Over and over your sanity was questioned and examined as they checked your faculties. Tests were done in abundance and you were poked and prodded by what you assumed was every metal device known to man. A legion of doctors, nurses, and contracted medical personnel filed through to tell you similar and yet all new information about your wounds. Tubes were inserted, removed, and shifted around in what you could only imagine was a cruel cosmic game of hokey pokey. You picked up little details where you could under the barrage. There had been something about mysticism, both bad and good. You’d healed nicely. You had more healing to do.

It had been three total weeks since the attack.

You held onto that lost time with an iron claw until you were forced upright. Both for physical examination and because a wheelchair arrived for some test that couldn’t be done in this room, you saw Donnie keep a wounded strength up and Leo keep his distance. Both men had been similarly cycled, in and out of your vicinity, for the sake of decorum. You alternatively had none as you were carted around for more scans where doctors both talked to and around you. By the time you were uncomfortably back in bed and finally left alone, you could barely keep your eyes open.

“Sleep.” Donnie kissed your temple.

“Donnie…” You fought your lids.

You hadn’t gotten to talk to him at all. 

His name was probably the first thing you’d said to him. 

You wanted to say so much more. 

How could you be tired?

You’d been asleep for nearly a month.

Donnie hushed your mind and a glimpse of him was the last thing you saw.

-

You woke up sometime in the night to a nurse fiddling with your IV.

“I have to get used to seeing you.” She teased lightly, checking the cord and coming away with a syringe.

You grunted out a sound.

“Don’t mind me.” She told you before giving your good leg a pat and disappearing around the bed. “Just something to ease the pain.” 

You stared after her shape and caught a dull hue of Leo on the far side of the room.

Squinting, you found him watching after the nurse before he turned with a tired expression.

Following his gaze led to Donnie who was waiting with a patient expression.

“Hey.” You told him still groggy.

“Hi…” He pet your arm. “No need to get up.”

“No… I… I’m… can I…?” You stirred, trying to remember if sitting up was a chore.

“What do you need? Feel free to sign an approximate.” Donnie watched on with tepid affection.

In the corner of your eye you saw Leo turn his head in a way to give you privacy. You eyed him openly before returning to Donnie. Your first real look at him, you saw how the last few weeks had taken their toll. An odd midpoint in comparison to your last separation where he’d headed to the Hidden City alone, he looked a little on the mend. Eyes sallow, but skin perked with some vestige of hydration, he mostly looked exhausted.

“Water…” You decided, your throat dry and still cracked from the tube.

“You might have trouble swallowing, go slow.” He retrieved a pitcher and cup from a side table before filling it carefully to offer it with a straw.

Knowing he would hold it, you wrangled the lead with your lips and sucked in the life giving liquid.

He lowered it when you’d had enough.

“Sore…” You mumbled, leaning back and feeling the cool drink travel downward in your body.

Donnie nodded.

You took your time reaching up to cup his cheek with a spin of your wrist to coax him in. “Not clean. Sorry.”

“I’ve done my best.” Donnie whispered, coming in only enough to barely rest his forehead against the side of your head.

“Why-?” A cough caught you and each wheeze thudded through your wounds.

Donnie disappeared to monitor you closely.

Hand falling away, you winced against the aggravating loose, but tight nature of your esophagus.

You heaved a sigh as you caught your breath with the ragged little pinpricks that still held on.

Taking additional time to simply breathe, you eventually calmed enough to look out at Leo. “Explain this.”

Leo perked up in the moonlight seeping through a window and approached.

“Now?” Donnie asked without pressure.

You gave a single nod.

“Consider it a bedtime story.” Leo refused an actual smile, but there was a jovial edge to his tone as he came around to the opposite side of the bed. “We make it boring enough and we can put Y/N right to sleep.”

Donnie barely rolled his eyes.

“What got you here or this situation?” Leo asked with minor disdain, ignoring Donnie while also referencing him.

“Both… from the… beginning?”

Leo gave a knowing nod. “When I got the call, you were…”

Donnie bristled and had to hold himself.

“Bad.” Leo decided with a tight eye over your boyfriend. “It was bad.”

Donnie closed his eyes.

You reached for him.

He caught your hand and held it delicately to save the IV.

“We were together so we moved together.” Leo went on.

“Toget…?” You struggled on the syllables.

“Me, Mikey, and Raph.” Leo confirmed.

You bobbed slightly.

“Skipping over our entrance onto the scene, Mikey sort of…” Leo juggled his phrasing.

Donnie was up and away from you.

You stared after him and noticed he’d taken the time to set your hand down before fleeing.

“Mike’s got all sorts of mystic mojo.” Leo tried anew. “I knew you were going straight to surgery and Mikey sort of… snuck into prep.”

“Wha…?” Your lips parted dry and you wished Donnie would come back with the water.

“I wasn’t there, to be clear, I’m going off what Mike told me, but basically he zapped you with magic before the staff caught him.”

“I don’t…” You wanted to shake your head, but you settled for a failed swallow.

“In addition to flying, Mikey can kinda sort of teleport like me, but it’s different… he can…” Leo struggled.

“Leonardo trained with an artifact to hone tears through space. Michangelo can rip through space and time with his bare hands.” Donnie spoke, his back half turned to you. “To his detriment. You’ve seen his scarring.”

Leo seemed unperturbed by this knowledge. “He’s banned from it, but I can’t control him in an emergency or last resort sort of thing. It’s… a whole thing, but he can manage very short distances without it… without…”

“Leo…” You murmured, sensing there was something painful there.

Leo took your acknowledgement as a cue he could skip over details. “He took one look at a hospital map, teleported into the OR, dumped as much mystic healing into you as he could, teleported out when he was found, and then promptly passed out for an entire week.” 

You heard Donnie inhale to speak and both you and Leo waited for him to, but he didn’t.

Something was off here.

You felt like you hadn’t woken up.

Pangs said otherwise, but you still wanted to pinch yourself.

Leo and Donnie were being as civil as you’d ever seen them and only a few weeks didn’t seem like enough time for that.

Something else was happening, but you were struggling to keep up as it was.

“What… did he…?” You hoped that was enough.

Leo lightly touched a blanket crease on the edge of your bed. “He mostly reassembled bone fragments. From what I understand, flesh, with all its blood vessels and such is a harder patch, but he did get some in. Mostly that gash along your ribs. Overall, it’s more of a general spell. If it had been me-” Leo’s teeth caught the light.

“You…?”

“Medic training.” Leo held the first bitter edge you’d seen to him. “I’m a trained medic.” 

Donnie rotated further away.

Why were you losing him?

“Mikey took you from a femoral break to a fracture.” Leo kept a sharp gaze. “Your bone was shattered.”

“Oh…” You gazed down at your body.

“T-tricky with the casting.” Leo stepped up to point and shift the topic. “It’s called a spica. A groovy kind of asymmetrical bottoms, half shorts, half pants, which you have, but they should have cast it up your whole torso, only they couldn’t because of the… stab wounds…” He drifted, his acrid edge returning.

“What’s… going… on?” You got out, the many odd signs too much for you.

“I’m sure you don’t want some medical textbook info on the arteries… But I think I can simplify it-”

“Leo.” You pressed down on his name.

Donnie was nearly curled into the wall.

“Donnie.”

Your partner's head barely rotated at the sound of your voice.

“What… happened?” You wheezed. 

You’d asked Leo to start from the top. 

Instead, he’d skipped around. 

Now there was an ever changing air as if something enormous was being avoided. 

You had to know. “Tell me.” 

Leo tugged your sheet until it was smooth. “Intake.”

The word oppressive, you felt the other two suffer under it where it held no connotation to you. “What… about it?”

“You still don’t remember what happened during the attack?” Leo asked, edging closer to you with an odd timber.

You shook your head slowly.

“A… Hidden City police officer… abducted you both.” Leo began, a clear wary of Donnie even though he didn’t look. “The guy disobeyed the temporary pardon. We know next to nothing about his goal.”

Your hand flexed and you felt the bite of your IV needle.

“Without you, there’s no account of what happened. The perp left no evidence of planning or anything so we have to assume it was spontaneous, but… we don’t know. We won’t know. Donatello regained consciousness right before the guy tried to…”

Your gaze flew to Donnie where he’d wedged in a corner.

He didn’t know what happened?

No one did.

Was he guilty?

You wished you could go to him.

Leo gave a shaky exhale. “I can only say what I saw for sure.”

You were slow to trek back to Leo.

“Donatello called me and… asked-”

“Begged.” Donnie spoke venom. “Say it.”

Leo’s eyes flashed a warning that Donnie didn’t catch. “I guess he… beggedfor my help. I portaled over and saw you… you were… you…”

Soothe them. 

You wanted to hold Donnie. 

You wanted to pat Leo. 

If your arm closest to him wasn’t bandaged down you might have managed the latter. 

Leo seemed to notice your intention and gave a tired smile of his own.

This was the closest he’d been to you yet. 

His eyes looked like Donnie’s.

“I scooped you up with the others trailing behind and portaled us straight to triage.” Leo cut through the silence. “I had to leave you bleeding out on the nurse’s station because…”

“Y/N.” Donnie spoke around shattered glass.

“You won’t tell it.” Leo ground out just shy of a bark.

“I should…” Donnie tried to turn, but there was an odd glint to his eye.

“Donatello…” Leo had that warning to him again.

“I can talk about it!” Donnie’s voice held a rising bile. “I am not some child!”

“Donatello!” Leo took a few steps over.

“I lost control!” Donnie turned to plead his case with you.

Trapped in your bed, you felt strapped down.

You couldn’t help.

You were helpless.

“I didn’t see the yokai, you know.” Donnie crept forward slowly. “Your-our-your attacker.”

He looked a vision similar to a sleep paralysis demon.

Your heart clutched and it reflected in the ever constant beep of the heart monitor.

Leo neared the edge of the bed, his body readying.

Donnie saw nor heard neither. “I saw a knife. I saw you. I saw you speak your last words to me. Then I saw purple.”

Leo’s arms went up.

“They were trying…. They tried… They-!!!” In a single blink, Donnie’s eyes lit up a bright fuchsia. “They weren’t going to touch you.”

“Stop!” Leo’s eyes spun a blue similar to his portals.

Dancing lights filled the room.

For every flash of purple there was an equal blue swallowing it up.

It cast horrifying shadows across Donnie’s face. “I couldn’t control it. I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t stop the bleeding. I couldn’t-!”

Leo caught Donnie’s shoulders in a swift move.

You flinched away as the dueling lights picked up to a blinding luminance.

There was a sharp choke.

You forced your lids up to see the glow gone and Leo’s leg lifted where he’d kneed Donnie straight through his plastron and into his stomach.

Donnie hunched with drool dripping from his mouth and had just caught himself from vomiting at the force.

Leo let go just as fast and held up innocent hands as he backed away. “Well? How’d that work out for you?!”

Donnie winced, clutching himself for a moment before he raised his own hand as a signal.

“What… was that…?” You looked at them both, feeling a ghost amongst them.

“Donatello unlocked his ninpo.” Leo turned to you looking haggard.

Now a moment away from tears, Donnie scrambled to his side of your bed on his knees. “I’m sorry. Are you okay? I’m sorry. I didn’t-!”

Your hand immediately went to his cheek and though your body raged and you were only allowed a few inches, you turned toward him as much as you could.

“Don’t do that…” He scolded and your action alone was enough to ground him minutely.

You shushed him with affection and pet down his jaw.

It took two strokes before he went a calculated limp against you.

“Has this…?” You swallowed hard and the cup appeared in front of you.

Hating how much maintenance you needed, you took a quick sip before shaking your head to force the swallow down.

“This has been… happening the whole time… since I got…?”

“Put in the hospital.” Leo nodded and staggered a few steps before he caught the bottom of your bed.

“What… power? Why… now?”

Leo rubbed an eye and mocked. “What power?” He clicked his tongue. “We… as in my family, believed it was only possible for clan members. You unlock your ninpo through acceptance. You have to have faith or trust or believe in the Hamato clan, in us, in family, and poof! It’s the only way you should be able to…” A form of irritation brought Leo upright. “Mikey and I unlocked ours to save Raph. It should be for family. Our family. That fierce protection. That-”

“He unlocked it…” You looked at Donnie.

He was curled into your palm with his eyes screwed shut, looking especially young.

“…saving me?”

Leo clicked his tongue.

Donnie gave a nod that was more of a nuzzle.

“It was wrong.” Leo spoke sharply.

A purple gun appeared in his face long enough for you to watch it cock before Leo realized and a tiny blue portal swallowed it up.

“Enough already! We just did that! You already flipped out so chill!” Leo growled, his eyes still entrenched in a glow.

“Don’t you tell me that saving them was a mistake in any way.” Donnie pulled from you to bare his fangs.

Several cycles of purple and blue cascaded a waterfall around Leo’s features. It painted him haunted before his face broke into true dismay. “I would never.”

The flickering stopped and you didn’t dare look at Donnie.

“How you activated it…” Leo shook his head trying to bury the raw emotion. “Your faith is misplaced. You get granted Hamato rights because you’re a Hamato. Because you believe in one another and how we’re stronger together… You are supposed to believe that you are a part of something larger and that they have you, everything about you. Every single bit. They will do anything for you! You don’t…! You don’t believe any of that!” His eyes rose with tears caught by the pale lights in the room. “That’s why you’re wrong. You tore into a power you shouldn’t have. That’s why you don’t have control. It will never be okay. It will never be yours! It shouldn’t.”

Donnie finally turned inward toward you and there were broken flickers of purple in his gaze like a match trying to light.

You had very little movement, but used what you could to grab his mask and tug.

He came limp and loose into your good shoulder and wilted there, shutting off the light.

Leo grunted about his weakness and did a small pace to recompose himself.

“Leo…” You murmured, petting Donnie with a heavy weight that he accepted.

“Yeah…?” He rounded the edge of the bed.

“That was… What Donnie made was…?”

“Weaponry.” Leo spat. “His power manifested in the same shit he started with. Destruction as always.”

There was a humming vibration of a phone.

Donnie flinched into you.

Leo pulled his device out.

“What’s wrong?” You whispered to Donnie, knowing you couldn’t go low enough to not reach Leo’s tympanum.

“The others…” Donnie rooted closer to you. “… they’ll come now.”

“Why?” You wished you could hold him.

“The flare of ninpo.” Leo answered, tacking something out. “They’re worried. I’ll tell ‘em it’s okay for now. You… I’ll give you this.”

Donnie couldn’t thank him, but he chuffed a sound of acknowledgement.

That seemed enough for Leo.

You felt a depth of what they’d been through without you. 

It was huge and weighty and both of them were overtaxed by it. 

All because of you. 

“Raph said you each had… specialties or something…” You murmured.

Leo stared dully at the blue light from his phone illuminating his face. “Donatello has built guns a million times over. Now he can assemble them without anything, but his mind. Makes sense. A stupid fucked up sense.”

You read the faintest emotion of him.

Fear.

“Leo-”

“I don’t agree, but Mikey has a different theory.” Leo pocketed his phone and his angle entrenched him in darkness. “He doesn’t see a problem with the unlocking because it was done to protect. He thinks the malfunction is tied to Donatello holding back. Something about him not being able to embrace the power because he’s forcing it away like everything else.”

Donnie exhaled revulsion.

“Agreed.” Leo puffed his own.

He did hold back.

You stroked down, tracing towards his concealed mating mark.

Did Donnie disagree because Mikey was on the right track?

He’d come a long way, but he still believed that the person he was with you wasn’t the authentic one.

He’d also said he could never live as himself.

That meant he’d never harness this power.

It loomed overhead, something even more dangerous than his enemies.

“It does… seem connected to your anger.”

You felt both men look at you, but you only watched Donnie.

“From… the little I’ve seen…” You tried to sound sheepish.

Donnie leaned in to rest his beak against your cheek. “You’re correct.”

Leo broke away and walked toward the window.

“And you two have just been…?” You glanced between them. “Together… this whole time?”

The palpable disdain swept through the room.

For a long moment neither spoke.

Donnie seemed the more sturdy of the two for now, sighed to retreat lightly, and adjusted your covers. “Not at first.”

Leo scrubbed his face.

“The initial chain of events went as such: I was…” The moment weighed on Donnie and took his voice.

“Not again…” Leo turned, looking twice as exhausted.

“I can do it.” Donnie pressed, harsh. “Look away.”

Leo bristled with obvious concern.

All you could think was how strange it was.

In such a short amount of time they’d seemingly come so far.

The Leo you knew would have taken every opportunity to barb Donnie.

Your Donnie would never allow the amount of supposed weakness he was currently displaying.

“I can.” Donnie tried again, his voice more even.

Leo said nothing and turned to tuck his head against the wall.

Donnie was slow in taking your face.

A familiar cascade of affection, it coaxed a smile from you and he nosed you lightly before drinking you into a kiss.

“My breath…” You murmured against the chaste press.

“Brushed earlier once the tube was removed and you were up to it.” Donnie caught your lips again and you realized the light brushes were to keep any errant smacks at bay.

“I’ve slept…” You teased him with the lightest nosing though the reach with your neck disturbed the muscles in your shoulder.

“You will learn to lie still.” He spoke with light heat and stole what was an obvious final kiss with a heavier press.

You relented into the pillow and failed to catch a soft sigh.

“That day… After disposing of that miscreant, I was beside myself. You needed more immediate attention then I could possibly… I found your phone. I called… When Leo appeared… I… I passed you off. My inadequacies were…”

“Too much…” You found his hand near yours and squeezed it.

He nodded and nuzzled close. “I let him take you, not more than a step behind, but Michelangelo…”

You tilted your head the slightest amount.

“You were deemed an obvious emergency and taken immediately. That I stood for, but Michelangelo he only…” Donnie paused and took a deep settling breath. “He had been nearby, suddenly saying he could help. Then he disappeared. I… It was an unknown variable. Him alone with you. With his mysticism… I… He hurt you before…”

You studied his eyes closely.

He leaned in to give you a better view, illustrating his gaze was free from purple, before nudging you with his beak. “I was irate to say the least. The staff would not let me warn them. Everyone kept telling me to calm down and then…” He caught himself and with several false starts to give a heady exhale. “Raphael subdued me after I manifested an entire arsenal and nearly leveled the waiting room.”

Leo shook his head against the wall, but you read it less as a disagreement and more of distress at the memory.

“His projections aren’t sturdy enough to dispel mine however. He temporarily knocked me out as the drug was still in my system.” Donnie continued. “When I woke, moments later, I was propped in the waiting room, informed Michelangelo had been returned to the sewer, Raphael was having a few superficial bullet wounds treated, and Leonardo was sat beside me.”

Leo flittered with a faint movement that you found to be his fist nervously tapping near his hip.

“For a while…” Donnie wrangled himself in and pulled away minutely to check your IV. “We sat as such for several hours until Leonardo spoke in regards to our predicament. A repeat of my display would put you at risk. The blue bast-ahem-Leonardo was meant to only be utilized as emergency transport. It was a temporary necessity. However… I was forced to acknowledge there was now more at play.”

Leo’s head tipped up and he looked toward a darkened ceiling corner.

“The staff had no choice but to accept my staying by your side once I was able.” Donnie had a faint smirk to him. “In situations such as those, I am unbothered. What power do they have? Police?” His teeth gleamed around a laugh, but he subdued it. “It was… your ongoing treatment that proved difficult. Not up to my standards. We’d failed to get S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. inside. You required the facilities and providers available here, but…”

Your lips parted and Donnie offered more water for you to sip.

“My threats along with my volatile ninpo made a dangerous combination. Not that they could have kept me away, but I was threatened with several premise bans.”  

He let the cup sit comfortably against your side.

“You see, upon our arrival here, each of us displayed our powers meaning the uninitiated were confused. Sure, there is an irritatingly obvious color coding, but what was less evident was the effects. Raphael had smothered my attack so only sick, delusional waiting room patients saw a hallucination at best. No one of importance saw what my ninpo created. This was for the best, but to keep it that way, as the lethality of my manifestations happens to be off putting to some-'' Donnie flicked a quick glance toward Leo in gesture. “-I had to be monitored…” His lip curled. “The others sat with me in rotation. I was unfortunately in need of their attendance in case my ninpo activated. The three traded off, but Leonardo’s ninpo is most suited to safely disarming mine.” 

Donnie came close enough that you could lean on him. 

“Waiting at your side gave me only time. Slowly, I achieved enough emotional control so as not to create weapons at the slightest provocation, but I am still me. I acted my usual and voiced my overall displeasure with your ongoing unconscious state. These… comments were not appreciated and compounded as I had worn my welcome. On supposed ‘thin ice,’ there was a particular incident where I slipped and allowed a nurse to see one of my manifestations. Thus a final deal was struck.”

Leo felt comfortable enough to turn and watch with a worn expression.

“Leonardo…” Donnie took on a strange expression that bordered appreciation. “… stepped in. He used his connections, status, and manipulation to garner you a better care rotation. In exchange, he was charged with being my full time handler. I was to defer to him in exchange and he put his entire public reputation on the line if only to keep me from actually being kicked out. If only… to allow us...” Donnie carefully cradled your hand. “... to stay together.” 

You were overwhelmed. 

Suddenly awash, your chest tightened lethally and you sent water works in Leo’s direction. 

The blue turtle startled at the emotion and gave a single sharp nod as if it was a normal duty as any other.

“Shh, don’t waste your limited energy on him. Again, not that it would have mattered. Nothing would have kept me from you.” There was a fragility to Donnie’s usual bravado.

You pinched his fingers to translate that you noticed.

He looked away with the faintest noise of frustration.

“That was a week ago.” Donnie murmured.

“Back up some.” You let go of him to point.

Donnie studied you before adjusting his stool with a rolling slide.

It put him more easily in your reach and you tugged his mask up from his beak.

He grunted, annoyed, but allowed it and you revealed the deeper dark bags barely concealed by it.

Trying to betray little, you delicately put Donnie’s mask back in place before gesturing for Leo to come over. “You next.” 

Leo walked to his spot on the opposite side where he yanked his mask up, unprompted, for you to see his equally swollen lids with an amused fluttering of his lashes.

“Him-” You threw a thumb back to Donnie as you spoke to Leo. “I expect to not sleep, but you?”

“It wouldn’t be the first time I lost sleep over the jackass.” Leo smirked.

Donnie rolled his eyes.

“He’s up, I’m up.” Leo shrugged and used both hands to get his mask right. 

“I would never allow myself disarmed around you.” Donnie growled lightly. 

“And you see why neither of us have slept.” Leo’s hands fell away and he cracked you a manic expression like it were an ice cold drink. 

“Where was…?” The memory seemed so vague. “Donnie was portalled in… when I woke up.” 

“Ah.” Leo nodded, thoughtfully, before sending a smarmy look at Donnie. “Now where were you at, hm?” 

Donnie bristled. 

Leo pulled his expression slightly, but waited with a cocked ridge of his mask. 

Donnie let a canine peek as he turned an acidic expression to you. “I have… scheduled meal breaks.” 

Leo wiped a hand over the lower half of his face, no doubt covering a smile. 

“A bargain to make you eat…?” You looked over Donnie with knowing affection. 

For a split second you saw a swipe of guilt flash over your boyfriend’s face before he settled to a neutral expression. “My choice. An accepted one around. The only agreement was travel.” 

“My moment of freedom tainted!” Leo held up a dramatic hand. “Basically, the jam jackass will only go to the cafeteria if I portal him there.” Leo shook his head free of his hand to show his disdain. “Mike or Raph take it from there, but still.” 

“My retribution and instantaneous returns.” Donnie sent a lowered lidful of affection toward you. 

“I’m not a damn taxi.” Leo grumbled. 

You took them both in before you exaggerated a pout. 

You then sank deep into your pillow though it made your body ache.

Donnie switched to worry and touched your arm anxiously.

“Leo.”

Donnie twitched with faint annoyance over you ignoring him.

You held out your hand to soothe him.

“Hm?” Leo leaned back, folding his arms.

Donnie took your hand and sulked.

“I get your stupid banter comment now.”

For a beat nothing happened.

Then Leo popped a single snicker before he burst out laughing.

You clucked along with him until the bubbles of comedy clung and irritated your liver.

Donnie pressed your arm to urge you to stop.

You tossed him a smile.

Leo came away, wiping his eye. “Oh man, I’ve lost my mind… That was good. What a call back…!”

“I’m mad I didn’t see you two get close.” You pursed your lips. 

“We aren’t.”

“We aren’t.”

There was a certain amount of horror passed between them which Donnie dispelled with a puckered focus on his face.

“Knock it off, bozo!” Leo’s lip curled.

“What are you doing…?” You touched Donnie.

“Trying...” Donnie’s eyes narrowed, willing something with all his might. “… to shoot him between the eyes.”

“You can’t do it on purpose yet and hopefully ever.” Leo sneered.

“If you keep that up he will.” You stared at him dully.

“Pfft.” Leo blew a raspberry. “I’ll just do a little abracadabra and poof, it’s disappeared right before your eyes.” He did a flourish with his hands.

“Hypno would be insulted.” You tilted your head away from the poser.

“Hypno’s a hack!” Leo threw up a hand. “I’ve studied the greats!”

“Since when do you-?” You reared your head. “No… I’m… I’m too injured for this.”

Donnie puffed with a single bubble of laughter and then painted a stoic face as if nothing happened.

“We’re literally right here. This room is dead silent.” Leo shook his head.

“Donnie…” You chewed your lip.

Donnie turned his beak up.

“Seven straight days of this.” Leo threw a hand out to Donnie.

“That’s what I’ve been trying to say!” You tapped your sheet. “I missed it! Donnie, pull up the recordings!”

Donnie’s hackles went up.

Leo put extra shine on a snarky smile.

“You…” You looked between the pair before settling on Leo in awe. “How the hell did you get him to agree to not tape this?”

“You’re on the line. You’re literally the best bargaining chip anyone could ask for!” Leo turned a smile on you that was eerily similar to Donnie’s malevolent one.

They’d spent too much time together.

“Weak spot…” You whispered in spite of yourself.

“Come again?” Leo held up a hand to his tympanum.

“Nothing.” You crooned.

Leo cocked his brow through his mask.

“You have to fill me in on everything.” You demanded from both of them.

Leo opened his mouth with a retort, but a nurse appeared in the doorway with a tapping foot. “Ahem.”

“Maria! If it isn’t the most lovely night nurse this side of Queens!” Leo spun to her in a flourish and seemed to almost manifest sparkles.

She seemed largely unbothered, but you caught the slightest ghosting of pink to her cheeks from the fluorescence in the hall.

“Give ‘em a break. The lovebirds are making up for lost time…” Leo cooed.

She huffed loudly and renewed the fold of her arms. “They and everyone else in the corridor also need sleep.”

“Done.” Donnie spoke.

Leo polished his grin.

She glared openly at Donnie before sending Leo a pointed look. “I’ll check back in fifteen.”

“I’ll be waiting.” Leo gave a little amorous growl and you gagged to Donnie.

His lip wrinkled with a smile that he buried as soon as Leo walked back over.

“Think that’s a pretty good demonstration of how this arrangements been going.” Leo tossed a thumb back to where he’d come from and reverted to what you assumed was his neutral setting.

Donnie stood and fluffed your pillow.

You looked him over affectionately and felt that ever present exhaustion tug at you again.

It was there. 

It had been there. 

Speaking of it felt like a command and now it threatened to engulf you. 

You hated the helpless feeling of it all. 

“Just like that.” Leo hummed, cocky.

“Shut up.” You grumbled.

“Finally, someone else can tell him.” Donnie took his seat and assumed what must have been his usual waiting posture.

“Ugh, almost forgot you let him ruin your morality.” Leo made a big show of rolling his eyes.

You had more complaints, but your lids were heavy.

“Get some rest.” Leo blessedly dropped the complaint and took a seat in a far chair.

“We’ll get you home soon.” Donnie took your hand and pressed a careful kiss to it. You made a little sweet sound for him, but your vision of him skewed as you dozed off.

FOTD #133 : cinnamon cap! (hypholoma lateritium)

the cinnamon cap (also brick cap, chestnut mushroom, brick top, red woodlover or kuritake) is a mushroom-producing fungus in the family strophariaceae. it has been discovered in europe, the US & japan, but may even be more widespread :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? well, that depends !! in the US & japan, it is considered edible & choice. however, in europe is considered inedible - some even claiming it to be poisonous.

h. lateritium description :

"the cap is 3.5–10 cm in diameter, usually with a brick-red colouration in the centre and a paler margin. it is smooth, sometimes with red-brown flecks in the middle & sometimes with flaky veil remnants, which can easily be washed off in the rain, on the outside. the gills are crowded, starting yellowish and becoming greyish with age. the stipe is light yellow and darker below."

Sorry I've been writing to various blogs like a madwoman! I found a screencap of Till where he seems to be in a shower and some woman walks in on him with champagne and it seems like a very old tv bit or sketch and his name was written wrong. The link was attached https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=Hjr2UdSdqeg&t=133s but it doesn't work anymore and I don't know where it's from or how it was called so I can't find it on youtube :(( do you know perhaps?

Hi!

I think I know which clip you're referring to. I found the video here. It's from a German talk show from the 1990s, called 'Wa(h)re Liebe' and was hosted by the German drag artist Lilo Wanders. The show's main topics were different sexualities, sometimes documentary-style clips about nightclubs and erotic fairs, interviews with porn stars, and sexual fetishism.

Here's the clip with Schneider (or the infamous Richard Krospe of course), sadly I can't seem to find the one with Till.

The interaction between Schneider and Till and the women of course is an act/sketch, yet both women seemingly are big fans of the band.

Maybe interesting for the non-german-speaking crown here: The title contains a play of words, since 'Wahre' means 'true', yet 'Ware' (without the h) means 'goods' (as in things you can buy).

Hope this helped a bit!

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H. R. 7152) which was referred to said committee November 27, 1963 in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit: 1. Emanuel Celler 2.

[mrs-monaghan]

Hey Shaz it's my bd but unfortunately I'm not celebrating it so I came to your blog bcuz it brings me joy so I was wandering if you could mention some jikook sus moments that made you a jikooker with or without receipt. Thank you

Why are u not celebrating? 🥺 Happy Birthday my lovely!!!

Please be happy today. No matter what.

I did not believe in Jikook because of a single moment. I talk about my journey here. I have Mizgator to thank for my current state 🤭🤭

So since that's that, guess I'll just find u some random sus Jikook moments for your birthday 😁😁

Exhibit a) Run Bts episode 133 members were supposed to identify the lips presented and Jimin did not even hesitate for a second before saying which lips were JK's

I find that highly suspicious, don't you?

Exhibit b) Jimin messing up during a live and saying this is our room

Tweet

He corrects himself but its too late. Armys caught it. Jikook and sharing hotel rooms... An ongoing saga. Wbk 😁

Exhibit c) Jimin going from this

To this

Satellite Jimin at work. At least he was subtle.🤭🤭

Exhibit d)

Tweet

Right. Now watch that again and notice that where JK touches is most definitely NOT where Jimin hit him. You are not in pain JK, just say you want Mimi's attention and go

Exhibit e) Jimin is Jungkook's toy and he likes the way JK plays with him

I.... don't even know where to begin with this one, anon...

Exhibit f) Its common knowledge in the fandom that Jimin likes to bend the candles when he prepares cakes for members

So when JK's brother posted his birthday cake that one time....

Two plus two is 4 minus one is 3 quick maths! 🎵🎵 man's not hot. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Exhibit g) i believe is self explanatory

#feels 🥺🥺

Exhibit h) Is not really sus. I just wanted to throw it in here coz I find it so cute!!! Jimin didn't want JK to be left out. The way he yells for JK over and over will always be sooooo funny to me. Best part being JK's face

He's like; babe, calm tf down, I'm here 😂😂😂

No, but this habit of Jimin always being responsible for JK amuses the hell out of me. Whether its telling him to put his toe socks away or apologising to the flying yoga teacher for JK's behaviour, I just love to see it guys. Rare moments of Jimin actually acting like the hyung he is 😂😂😂

Exhibit h) Bon Voyage 1 episode 4. As they prepare to take the photo;

After the photo has been taken, Boom!

I love when JK doesn't even try to be subtle. Anygays, teleport JK ftw 🙌🏽

Exhibit i) Bon Voyage sn 2 episode 3. Members are playing for pocket money and it's JK's last chance.

He had failed before and didn't have any money so he was nervous

Guess who else was nervous?

Birthday anon that's kinda sus, no? Why is Jimin nervous? He wasn't nervous when other members were playing, why nervous for JK? Guess he was worried about his baby not getting anything to eat 🥺🥺

Exhibit j) Last but not least, is not sus at all, its just me throwing shade because I can 😌 Bon voyage season 4

V as JK's co-driver:

Vs Jimin as JK's co-driver.

He he he heee 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Anyone who's watched it can confirm that this isn't me being an unreliable narrator. This actually happened. Tkk were so.... they were just there. While Jikook on the other hand were having the time of their lives. ☕☕

Happy Birthday anon! All the best 😘😘😘

#jikook feels #jikook is real #if jikook isn't real then neither am i #ask shaz #bts ask #jikook #kookmin #minkook #jimin and jungkook #jimin #jungkook #park jimin #jeon jungkook #bts #jikook analysis #run jikook #bon voyage jikook #the shade

[best-element-poll]

(the 2 most voted elements will continue onto round 2!)

More info about each element (and propaganda for the ones I like) under the cut. pleeeeeeeeease read some of them at least the one about francium

(disclaimer: these are based off short wikipedia reads and my crumbling high school chemistry knowledge. correct me if I'm wrong about anything.)

HYDROGEN: Hydrogen is the lightest element (consisting of only one proton and one electron). It is also the most abundant element in the universe, it's a gas (at room temperature) and it can explode. It's also quite representative of acids, having the (Arrhenius) definition of an acid straight up saying that it has to dissociate in water to form H+ ions. It's also quite an efficient fuel. Hydrogen is anywhere and Hydrogen is everywhere. If you like explosions, sour beverages, or acid in general, consider voting Hydrogen!

LITHIUM: Lithium, under standard conditions, is by far the least dense metal and the least dense solid element! You may primarily know him from your phone's Lithium-ion batteries. There are Lithium-based drugs used to treat mental illnesses. You can throw a block of lithium in water and it will make a really big explosion. The metal is soft and silvery. I'm running out of things to say about him. If you like batteries vote Lithium? (edit: just realised lithium is used for batteries, and batteries are connected to robotics and engineering. if you like robots and cool mechanical stuff vote lithium!)

SODIUM: You must know him from table salt. That's actually NaCl, his best known involvement. There are many more very important and very commonplace compounds that involve sodium, such as baking soda (NaHCO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (that's probably the most famous base?). It's also very important to the human body (you shouldn't eat more than 2300mg a day). If you've ever used table salt or baking soda while cooking, consider voting Sodium!

POTASSIUM: Their name was based on the word potash, which was based on an early and easy way of obtaining potassium, from putting ash in a pot, adding water, heating, and evaporating the solution. It's used in a lot of fertilisers because it's an essential plant nutrient. It's also involved in a ton of important compounds: KOH (a strong base), KNO3 (often used as salt bridges in electrochemical cells), K2CrO7 (an oxidising agent often used in organic synthesis), and K2CrO4 (I don't know what this one does). If you have ever eaten food from fertilisers consider voting Potassium!

RUBIDIUM: Rubidium compounds are sometimes used in fireworks to give them a purple color. They've also got a cool name, based on the latin rubidius, for deep red (the color of its emission spectrum). I'll be real, I don't really know much about them beyond that, but that is one cool name. Vote for Rubidium if you like cool names.

CAESIUM: Caesium is used in the definition for a second, meaning that an entire SI unit is based on it! A second can be defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 cycles of microwave light absorbed or emitted by the hyperfine transition of caesium-133 atoms in their ground state undisturbed by external fields". It was also discovered from mineral water. Did you know that they had to use 44000 liters of water to find her? If you've ever experienced time or had a conception of it in terms of units, consider voting Caesium!!!

FRANCIUM!!!: Caesium... TWO! It's sad that no one will probably read this far but this is my favourite element in this poll. This element is characterised by instability. Her longest half-life is 22 minutes. Her entire existence was conjoint with Caesium before they discovered that she was her own element. She has never been seen. They literally never confirmed what color she is. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. Through the hands of different scientists, she was going to be named after Russia, Virginia, or Moldavia at different points in time. At one point the name catium was proposed (for "cation", since she was believed to be the most electropositive cation), but was rejected because it sounded like a cat element. Which is so fucking sad. We could've had cat element but we ended up with France element. That's right she's also named after France. Just tragic fascinating existence overall. Also isn't it just insane that her half-life is only 22 minutes? Dude, you don't get it, the most of her that's ever existed in one place is a mere 300000 atoms. She's here and she's gone. What the hell.

The charm of Francium can be summarised by the wise words of my good friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

PROPAGANDA UNDER CUT

Pere Marquette 1225:

Goes choo-choo

Steam locomotives have a history dating back to the 1800s

Cabins feel lively, with the wealthiest ones filled with ornate, precious materials and lush colors

Mechanical beast that runs at 70 mph (133 km/h)

(passenger car example; this one has quite decorated fabrics. It depends on the train, afaik many look like more comfortable busses, just victorian-ified, but these one’s definitely exist)

Chinese Maglev:

Does not choo-choo, but it does it’s job with utmost efficiency!

Evokes a futuristic feeling as it uses magnets to shoot you through places at breathtaking speeds

Cabins are tidy with comfortable and maximized seating

Train goes at a whopping 268 mph (431 km/h). Seriously, what?! I’d love to zoom around in this

(passenger car example; Some look more futuristic than others. As with the former carriage, don’t take this as the only style! Even now there are tons of different style’s being used to take people from point a to point b)

#trains #polls #bullet train #steam train #my special interest is not trains. it is history #history happens to include trains. whoops #I hope my bias isn’t getting in the way of this but I have to know

-

His hands are still cupping her ass as she sighs softly, ‘Thank my aunt,huh?”

“I think she gets us, all too well.” he smirks, kissing between her breasts again, peeking at the dark brown, almost black, fabric under the robe and following the way that lace hugged her full breasts almost like a frame to a beautiful piece of art. He hummed, nuzzling her neck, pressing a trail of kisses - soft and gentle - up to her ear where his hot breath touched the shell making Beatrice almost buckle down, “We have two options.”

“H-huh?”

“Either the table or the room, what do you think?”

“The t- Roos, we can’t have sex on the table!” she blushes hard, then avoids her husband’s eyes, “...i-it’s not our place and people use this to eat…besides, it doesn’t seem that comfortable, not like, u-um ours.” his smirk widens as he follows the curves of her body until he reaches her waist, brushing over the soft warm skin, happy to see she stopped wincing when nearing her stomach or ‘love handles’.

“So you are okay with it,” he says, “Just within our safe space.”

“W-Well…we did have sex at the beach Roos.” she mutters, looking down at his arms - as the biceps hidden under his long sleeved shirt, “And it was public space but, you know…it’s not, not everyone would use it for that…am I making sense?”

He chuckles breathily, slowly standing to his feet with his hands latched under the curve of her ass. Beatrice squeaks, wrapping her legs around his waist as he carries her to the staircase, “You are kinky but on your own terms. And I respect that.” he kissed her jawline one more time, humming happily at the new and addicting scent on her skin, “So bedroom it is?”

Beatrice lifts her head to meet his eyes, then rolls her lower lip into her mouth with a shy smile, nodding at him, “Please.” she looks back at the stairs when he nears it, “Just be quiet,Roos. We can’t wake any of them.”

“I can be pretty quiet.” he murmurs with a smugness that just makes Beatrice blush even more.

However, the next thing that left her mouth surprised even her, “...that’s only partially true. You can be pretty loud when time calls for it.” he doesn’t look amused as he opens the master bedroom’s door with one hand - how does he carry her so effortlessly and never loses his balance?? - “You know it’s true.”

“Maybe.” he smirks, cautiously shutting the door and walking deeper into the room, turning them around to he sits on the edge of the bed and she’s still on his lap, her thighs on top of his and his huge hands caressing the soft skin, “But I can’t recall it.”

“I guess I’ll have to remind you then.”

Oh he loved when she got like that. “I’m countin’ on it.” and he drags his hands down to her knees, feeling the goosebumps rise on her skin and her breathing shiver,”Are you cold?’

‘No.” she says softly, ‘Your hands are warm.”

He smirks more, leaning back to give her a full look, dropping his gaze to the parted robe and gently tugging the strap that kept it closed between his fingers, “Can I see?”

Her green eyes went darker, her smile impish, “...only if you ask nicely…lieutenant.”

“...Do I have to ask nicely,recruit?”

Beatrice purses her lips a little, her cheeks dusting red as she runs her fingers over his shoulders “...it’d be really appreciated.” and he just smiles because while she is playing a role, bits of her actual personality seep through and he couldn’t help but hug her tighter against him, propping his chin on her cleavage as she looks into his eyes.

He sighs softly, “...are you okay?” she nods, not saying anything, “You planned this for a while,didn’t you?”

“Before I knew about the twins.” comes her quiet reply, “Shells helped me with the outfit.” she nods to her chest for emphasis, ‘And I wanted it to be special…because, I dunno, seems it’s been a while since we had time for ourselves- and-and I know we have…everyone else,” she whispers, “Here but…but I thought, it’d be nice…”

“Listen if you want us to have sex every time we come to Virginia,I’m not complainin’ at all.” he smirks, tapping the outer sides of her thighs until he reached her knees, rubbing the warm flesh and squeezing each limb enough to make the red marks of his fingers imprint on her pale flesh, “You know I love when you surprise me…now…can I see?” he lilts the word at the end of his sentence with his eyes locked on the curves of her breasts.

Beatrice laughs quietly but nods, “Okay, let me just-” it takes some time for him to let her go, almost as if his arms were covered in velcro, keeping Beatrice on his lap and only releasing her when she gave him a warm look, “How are you going to see it if you don’t let me go?”

Cue the Bradley pout that she adored so much.

She cups his face in her hands to kiss the said pursed lip twice, humming softly when he moves his head forward in hopes to keep the lip lock but his wife managed to break free. Rooster sighs heavily, his eyes so dark and deep that she was sure they’d swallow her whole as he kept looking, “This brings back some memories.”

“Hm?”

“From our first time together,” he leans back against the bed, keeping himself upright with his arms while he follows her small hands moving on the knot that kept the robe closed, slowly,slowly, pulling it apart, ‘....but it’s better now.”

“Is it?” she felt confused by that sentence, furrowing her brows a bit, “How so?”

He drags his eyes down to her hands, the movement making the bottom of the robe shift asn show more of her thighs to his hungry gaze, “You are a lot more confident now, not that,” he hitches a breath seeing even more skin, “Back then wasn’t nice, it was great but I could see how much you struggled…and now, holy fuck you are even sexier than before.”

Beatrice’s cheeks flush under his compliments, robe no longer closed by the strip of cloth but by her arms instead as she crosses them over her bust, “Am I?”

“‘Am I?’” the high notes of Rooster trying to mimic her voice was enough to break the sultry persona she was slowly building, cupping her mouth with a hand to hide her laugh, “I mean,I don’t know but, there’s something so nice seeing you being…you, but just a better you. You still have issues mentally,baby,I know…but I know how much,back then, you had no idea how to do this for me.”

And he was right, the Christmas surprise was the beginning of it all, since then she just got bolder and bolder…and it helped because Rooster was always so vocal about it…

Plus the fact her husband’s libido was always high helped as well, when it came to her.

“Well,I can say that your influence was very…” she looks to the side in hopes to find a word, cocking her hip to the left and making the ends of her robe rise higher on her thigh, showing more skin which in turn snaps Rooster’s gaze to her legs, ‘...appreciative.”

“Oh I love appreciatin’ you.” he coos, starting his gaze from her small painted toes to her knees then finally to the expanse of her thighs that weren’t hidden by the robe, “You know there’s nothing better than…me lookin’ at you.” his brain short circuits when the upper part of the robe drops just enough to pool by her elbows, finally exposing the dark brown bra and the beautiful lace on it, “...oh I love lace on you.” she laughs, her breasts bounce and Rooster feels like he’s choking on air, “Lemme have a better look.”

“A ‘better’ look?”

“Yes,I need you to come closer.” he coos and she obliges, with her smile widening, “Closer.” a few more steps, “Cloooser.” Beatrice squeaks in surprise when he latches his arms around her again, but this time he places her on the bed, the robe finally falling open and exposing her torso to his eyes.

Rooster’s whisky eyes move all over, from her flush that went down her neck to her chest, then to her breasts - there were tiny flowers on it too, just like her past bras were - and to the tiny shiny stone in the middle of the small bow that finished the top as if she was a gift ready to be unwrapped, “...oh baby, this is,” he laughs breathily, finally stopping his gaze at the thong.

It was small.

Smaller than the ones she usually wore.

And boy was he excited.

“...this is…?”

He huffs a quiet, disbelieved laugh, ‘This is going to be my absolute ruin. Are you happy?” she couldn’t help but laugh at him because he looked like a mix of pure lust and worry at the same time. Rooster however, couldn’t stay staring for long since they had a lot of things to do, ‘...okay,so, we need to be quiet.” he straightens himself on top of her, pulling his shirt off and smiling when he pulls the sleeves down his arms as her eyes were busy following every dip and curve of his body.

Beatrice was trying to pay attention on his words, she really was, but his happy trail was just pointing to his pants in such a lovely way she couldn’t not look,right? But when she sees his body move on top of her and his hands land on each side of her face, she turns her eyes up to meet his, her lips mirrorin his own smile, “Did you hear what I said?” he asks with a flick of his brow.

“About being quiet?” she inhales sharply when one of his hands trail down her neck towards the valley of her breasts, pushing each globe apart when he settles his huge palm between them, “Y-Yes.”

“Can you be quiet?”

“I-I can.”

“Are you sure?” he teases, tilting his head at her and dragging the hand from the middle to her covered left breast, running his finger on a slow, lazy circle where her nipple was. Beatrice whimpers feeling the pressure of his touch and the bra’s texture against her skin, being only able to nod in silence because her husband was infuriating sometimes. Rooster smirks,  biting his lower lip for a few seconds before he leans down, sliding his hands under her back and quickly finding the latch that kept her bra closed.

The movement was enough to make Beatrice’s body arch, which in turn brought the valley of her breasts close to his mouth and so he kissed her skin again, wet open mouthed kisses against her feverish flesh as she tried to comprehend what was happening. A little moan, maybe too loud for comfort broke out of her and Rooster smirked, “Shush.” He orders gently and Beatrice bites both of her lips to keep her voice down.

She is almost sweating and he barely touched her.

Rooster still has his mouth on her when he pulls the bra off her body, tossing it somewhere in the room before he drops his eyes to her breasts. He softens his gaze seeing they were a bit red in some areas from the breastfeeding but it wasn’t as bad as it was before, “...I’ll be gentle.” he whispers against her skin, meeting her gaze, “Okay?”

Her smile was thankful as she nodded, “...okay,Roos.”

Bradley kissed her chin before his attention was back at her breasts, kissing around the nipples instead so she wouldn’t be so hurt albeit her skin was very sensitive. He didn’t spend too long on her chest, as much as he wanted to, deciding to drag his lips and teeth down her rib cage and her stomach.

She had a few extra stretch marks in there, not as much as she thought she’d have but enough to…notice it. But Rooster didn’t care, in fact he kissed and nuzzled her tummy, especially because of the special beings growing inside, but also because he was glad she was in a much better headspace when dealing with her body.

Which was a bonus for him too.

Bradley kneels out of the bed, caressing the expanse of her thighs and smiling up at her once she lifts her head enough to meet his eyes. He brings his index finger to his lips, then goes ‘sshh’ with a wink before he takes hold of her thong - that thing was so tiny it almost disappeared in his grasp - and gently pulls it out of her body. A string of fluid breaks when it’s finally out,” Already?”

“A-Are you surprised?”

“Mmm,” he gently brushes his fingers over her folds and Bea sucks in a breath with her fists clenched by her sides. His index and middle finger gently pry her lips open and push inside, while keeping his body straight so he could see her reactions, “I’m not but,” he moves them a bit further and her hips twitch. Beatrice has to bite her lower lip hard when he moves his hand in a circle, spreads his fingers while still inside and almost cries when he goes even faster inside of her, “It’s always nice to know.”

“R-Roos!”

“Sssh,” he repeats, “Quiet, remember gorgeous? Can you be quiet for me?” she clenches her eyes, digging her fingers into the mattress but she nods, “Good girl, best girl.” he coos, kissing the inside of her thigh as he lowers his face towards her groin, keeping his fingers inside, “My girl.”

And he just turns his hand up instead of removing the digits before his tongue touches her clit. Beatrice whimpers, having to grab one of the pillows and put on her face because there was no way she’d be able to keep quiet when he was using his tongue and he knew it too…he was smirking, she could feel from the way his mustache was touching her that he was more than pleased by what was going on.

His chin is touching his knuckles and part of her outer lips with how close his face is right now, but he doesn’t stop, matching speeds with his tongue and fingers just because he can feel she’s trying her hardest to keep herself quiet. He peeks up at her, her chest moving up and down quickly and she has to pull the pillow down every now and again to breathe - which makes a quiet mewl escape her mouth when she does so and she immediately slaps a hand over her mouth.

Bradley chuckles and the hot breath of his laughter hits her right on the bundle of nerves, her eyelids shivering and tears slide down her eyes already, she wasn’t going to last long. In fact, when her husband pushes his face harder against her groin - and she feels his mustache tickling the flushed flesh her arm immediately drops to the bed, “Br-Brad!” she squeaks, then placing a fist on top of her forehead while her other hand cups her mouth again, her eyebrows furrowing because what was she going to do?

He gets faster, she can feel the pressure building and more tears sliding out of her eyes. The wind outside howls with intensity, the snow moving wildly and the cabin appears to turn even warmer when that happens…or it was her body that was just hot all over. Her orgasm comes with full force, her eyes rolling back as the hand that once was on her forehead latches onto the sandy strands to keep him there. 

His happy groan was more than enough to make her body shake like a leaf during fall. Beatrice’s heavy breathing as she tries to control her heart was the only thing he could hear…well that and the sound of him licking his fingers clean, “See?’ he asks once he pops his middle finger off his mouth, “Was that so bad?”

“You are…” a deep inhale, “Cruel.”

“Oh I’m absolutely merciless.” he counters back, biting her thigh playfully before looking out at the large glass doors on the other side of the room, whistling quietly, “Damn, that’s gonna be a mess tomorrow.” the brunette below him blinks, then tilts her head just enough to see the amount of snow piling up on the balcony, “Good thing the windows are strong and the floors are warm…hopefully it won’t be as bad during New Years.” he looks back down just in time to see her body, while still shivering, was angled in such a way he’d see the perfect hourglass shape and some of her ass.

He smirks, brushing his hand over the plump flesh before he swoops down to slap it, Beatrice swallows her yelp and then glares at him, ‘Roos!”

“What? It’s your ass!”

“You are so mean!” she sounds mad but she is really happy, just swatting his shoulder, “And you are still dressed…so…I think there’s something else going on,right?”

“Dressed?” he furrows his brows, stepping away from the bed to unbutton his jeans, tilting his head at her, pushing the pants to his ankles alongside his underwear, “Who’s dressed? Clearly not me?’

Beatrice’s eyes fall on his member, that bobbed happily at the attention “...you know…I don’t think I ever told you how pretty your dick is.” she mutters, pushing herself to the center of the bed so he could climb on it and get comfortable, member still up in attention, beautifully flushed, “You know?”

“I mean,I’ve been complimented a lot.” he coos, running the back of his hand against her sternum down to her chest, “And somehow hearing you find my dick pretty is a first. Not that I’m complaining,you know?”

Beatrice purses her lips, pushing his chest down and smirking at him once he’s comfortable, “You shouldn’t,because everything on you is pretty.” he flushes immediately, the apples of his cheeks turning that pretty shade of coral. She loved when he blushed even more when she is the one who made him feel such a way. “...well,” she looks down at his member and then back at him, “Now it’s your turn.”

“Hm?”

“To be quiet.”

He breathes in quietly, folding his arms behind his head as he gets comfortable, the side of his mouth quirking in a smirk, “Is that so?” He watches her warming up her hands - his heart melting because she doesn’t want him to be cold and she’ll obviously use her hands - “And how will we manage tha-” his eyes snap on Beatrice lubricating her hands…with her saliva. But of course she’s more classy than spitting it out at a distance like she’s at a competition, no she brings her hands close to her mouth and spit on her palms, “...that’s cute and also hot, holy shit.”

“Is it?” she asks sweetly, moving closer to him, “Well.” She wastes no time in taking him in her hand, because she didn’t want him to get cold – even though the room wasn’t cold at all- and because if there’s one thing her relationship with Rooster taught her was that patience was a virtue that could sometimes be ignored when your husband was that attractive. Her favorite thing about him was when his six pack clenched because of the tension, “I’m glad to be of service. Now,” she taps his lips, “Sssh.”

Rooster groans, her hand moved up and down his cock and it wasn’t how he was used to either. She used the tips of her fingers on the flushed head and then spiraled her hand down to the base, repeating the movement was enough to make him see stars behind his eyelids, “Holy- ff-” she smiles at him, hair tumbled to the side, she looked like pure sin incarnate and he couldn’t focus right. 

His muscled thighs tensed so much she could see the lines under the skin, she could count almost every single drop of seat that appeared on the surface…”You know,I saw this,” she whispers and somehow that voice was so sultry he just whined quietly, “On a video when I was trying to figure out how to surprise you.” she squeezes the base a bit, her husband breathes out in pain almost, “And I thought, ‘oh I never did that’ and I watched,” her hand goes up, “And watched,” then down, “And watched until I got the hang of it.”

“Holy shit.”

“You are being too loud,babe.”

“I’m going to fuckin’ cum in seconds,Bea.” he gasps, “I don’t fuckin’ care.”

Now part two of her plan…she had to or else she’d chicken out.

She climbs on his lap while still moving her hand, her free limb cupping his face as she meets his eyes, his lips flushed red and he looked ready to explode, “You can’t do that.” she says, keeping the same slow movement, “You can’t cum yet.” his eyes widen when she says so, and his lips move but without words coming out, “It’d be so bad if that happened now.”

“Bea-” another squeeze at the base and every word escaped from him, “...f-fffuck…”

“You can hold a little bit, can’t you?” she coos, angling her lips on the flushed head and moving her hips back and forth, this time a gasp escaped her as well as Rooster’s hands latched on her hips, “Just a little?”

“Fuck…oh God,fuck, just,” he tries to push her down but she’s still as a rock, so he just groans her name,almost begging her to do something.

Beatrice smiles, face red, this type of control wasn’t what she saw on the video but it was…a good start. She just wanted to see his reactions and he seemed to enjoy it greatly. She lets go of him completely to place her hands on his shoulders and slowly let him slide inside. He almost burst out a moan but she slapped her hand over his mouth, his muffled and agonized moan vibrating her palm, “R-Roos…” she whimpers, “N-Not too loud.”

He huffs against her hand, lips dragging against her palm as she slides her hand off so she could hold onto his shoulders, “F-Fuckin’ m-minx…” he stutters, his hair messy and sticking to his forehead and temples because of sweat, “So fuckin’ good to me…” he leans his head back when she moves her hips gently, he was already hilted and he just allowed her to take the reins this time, “...fuck…I love your pussy so much. A-And if it helps,” he smirks, “I think your pussy is so pretty too.” 

She giggles, “Thank you.” pressing their foreheads together. It was hard to keep their voices so quiet but it was…a strange type of thrill all over their bodies, the sounds from the outside helped, nothing was out of place, if it was the dogs would have notified them by now…the only thing they could hear was the creaking of the bed and their quiet breathing mingling together.

Beatrice looks down at him, one of her hands moving to his chest for extra support, “R-Roos…”

“Yeah…?”

“You can…go…a bit faster.”

He grunts, already moving his hips at a quicker pace, “I’ll be gentle.” he whispers, “I promise.”

“I know.” she says back, smiling at him, “You never break your promises.”

And his heart felt even bigger than before. He took hold of her hips to give her a bit of a break, not that they’d need one but she was already busy with something else in her body, why not give her that? He watches her breasts bounce, then follows the line of her throat when she tilts her head back, digging her nails on his shoulders.

Both of them were trying so hard to keep quiet and it was almost funny how every now and again a mewl or a groan came out and they had to remember their plans. No sound…but it was hard when the skin to skin contact got louder, so all Beatrice did was press her forehead against his and meet his eyes, rubbing her thumb over his lips and trying her best to keep her voice down, “R-Roos…I-I lo-love you…” she whispers choppily and he smiles so bright.

He’s as bright as the sun, melting whatever snow was around the house and kissing her thumb, ‘I love you too,gorgeous.” he digs his hands into her hips, “So f-fuckin’ much- I’m not gonna last long.” he cuts his proclamation of love suddenly with his brows furrowing and mouth hanging open, “Oh fuck,Bea…w-where, where??”

She was too close to her own orgasm to answer, but she knew what he was talking about. Beatrice gasped once her orgasm hit, curving against him and letting him thrust upwards repeatedly until he couldn’t stop himself anymore, pulling out of her just in time to explode against her thighs and stomach…and a little bit on her chest.

They stay closed together as they try to calm down from their high, Rooster keeping her close to him and Beatrice enjoying his warmth with her body shivering, “...t-that was…re-really good.” she whispers, “Really good…”

“Yeah…holy shit.” he thunks his scalp against the headboard and groans with the last of his aftershocks, “Ow.”

Her head snaps up instantly,”What?”

“Hit my head.” he snorts, one hand coming up to rub the sore spot gently, “I’m okay though…we better take a bath or a shower…because I’m starting to get cold.” 

“...you know what, you are right.” she slowly climbs off of him, allowing him to stand from the bed and offer her his hand. She squeaks when he picks her up bridal style and rushes to the bathroom, “Roos!”

“No sound rule is broken the second we get into the shower.” he smirks, “Deal?”

Beatrice takes a while to reply,but her cheeks turn red and she says ‘...deal.”

[discworldwitches]

i know the theory of evolution has been used to justify eugenics but what do you mean it's tied to pseudoscience (besides pop science and racist understandings of it)? and like, what are the actual alternatives then?

evolution as in the actual phenomenon cannot & does not affirm the idea that certain ways of being, behaviours, bodies, etc. are “degenerate” or “primitive” but the theory can and was applied in this pseudoscientific way (ie social darwinism). so what i am referring to is pseudoscientific applications of evolution such as “race science” (which we referred to racial pseudoscience or race pseudoscience in some of my upper level classes in my degree).

i wrote a whole big reply but i went back to steven angelides and he explains it best.

note, bisexual was initially coined (krafft-ebing. 1886) to refer to intersex individuals and bisexuality was referred to as “psychic h*rmaphroditism” (cw for use of h slur)

The newly emerging registers of sex/gender and sexuality were inextricably entwined through the hegemonic discourse of evolutionary theory. Determined to reorder dominant social hierarchies, scientists explained deviations of normative being and behavior in terms of a hetero-teleological scale of evolutionary development. Blacks, homosexuals, children, and women were situated at lower points on this scale than white heterosexual men, not able (or not yet able) to reach the highest stage of (hu)man evolution. The category of bisexuality played a central role in this linear model, and thus in the epistemological configuration of the category of sexuality (Angelides, 2001). The human differences of race, age, gender and sexuality were thought to be the effect of a specific temporal and spatial relation to what evolutionists and sexologists referred to as primordial hermaphroditism or embryological bisexuality. Believed to be the earliest form of human ancestry, primordial hermaphroditism, or bisexuality, as Frank Sulloway (1979, p. 179) points out, became the evolutionists “missing bisexual link.” This was confirmed by recapitulation theory, which posited that the human embryo repeated “in its own life history the life history of the race, passing through the lower forms of its ancestors on its way to maturity” (Russett, 1989, p. 50). In other words, as Charles Darwin (1927 [1871], p. 525) posited, every individual “bears rudiments of various accessory parts, appertaining to the reproductive system, which properly belong[s] to the opposite sex.” This meant that blacks, women, children and homosexuals were thought to be the effect of an unsuccessful evolution, closer to, or retaining many more elements of, the originary (pre-historic) bisexuality of the human race and individual embryo. Put differently, an individual’s distance from this state of primordial bisexuality dictated the degree of one’s evolutionary advancement. Within this framework, therefore, the axes of race, age, gender and sexuality were defined and aligned by their very relation to bisexuality.

However, bisexuality posed a problem for sexological discourse. In the attempt to catalogue human sexual behavior, sexologists were con- fronted with the dilemma of containing its variant forms within the nascent and rigid oppositional categories of hetero- and homosexuality. After all, even in his 1897 publication, Sexual Inversion, Havelock Ellis (1897, p. 133) acknowledged the “person who is organically twisted into a shape that is more fitted for the exercise of the inverted than of the normal sexual impulse, or else equally fitted for both” (emphasis added). Similarly, Krafft-Ebing (1965, pp. 373-385) had identified what he called “psychical hermaphroditism.” Yet, sexology was unable to account for bisexuality as a form of sexuality. For instance, on the one hand, Ellis (1928 [1901], p. 88) claimed that “[t]here would seem to be a broad and simple grouping of all sexually functioning persons into three comprehensive divisions: the heterosexual, the bisexual, and the homosexual.” Yet, on the other hand, he affirmed like Krafft-Ebing, that “[m]ost of the bisexual prefer their own sex . . . [and that this] would seem to indicate that the bisexuals may really be inverts.” “In any case,” stated Ellis (1928 [1901], p. 278), “bisexuality merges imperceptibly into simple inversion.”

The difficulty for sexologists constrained by a linear logic of temporal succession was how to reconcile bisexuality as at one and the same time a biological cause (embryological bisexuality) and a psychological effect (bisexual identity). Ultimately, bisexuality as a form of sexuality or identity had to be refused in the present tense.5 That is to say that bisexuality always had to be somewhere else–in the embryo, the sphere of human prehistory–or something else–either really heterosexual or homosexual. It could never be a stable sexual identity in the here and now otherwise the epistemological integrity of the very categories of man, woman, heterosexual and homosexual would be thrown into doubt (Angelides, 2001).

Decided to start doing pixel measurements

Basically, there's a height chart that I've seen around that has all of the Psychonauts 2 characters in a line from tallest to shortest.

So, using this, I figured out how tall Raz was by putting the chart into MS Paint 3D and getting a pixel measurement,

which turned out to be 81 pixels. Since we know from stats in game that Raz is 4'4", we can go from using the pixel measurement to figure out how many pixels can equal 4'4". 4'4" is 52 inches tall. We must divide 52/81 to get the amount that 1 pixel to x inches. So 52/81 = .64 inches.

The formula I used was P*.64 = X... /12 = H

Below the keep reading I'll place down my chart of different character groupings. I used generated approximations on HeightComparison.com

DREAM TEAM! Sasha turned out to be 135 pixels, Milla was 133 pixels, Morceau was 105 pixels, Raz is canonically 4'4" Lili is an approximation. She measured around 75 pixels. So she should be 4' even.

AQUATO FAMILY! Augustus, not including his hair, had the exact same pixel measurement as Milla. Donatella was 129 pixels. Dion was 125 pixels. Frazie was 117 pixels. Raz is his canon height. Mirtala was 68 pixels. Queepie was 56 pixels.

PSYCHIC SEVEN! Cassie was 180 pixels. Helmut was 150 pixels. Otto was 125 pixels. Ford was 120 pixels. Bob was 116 pixels. Lucy was 90 pixels. Compton was 84 pixels.

SENIOR AGENTS! Sasha was 135 pixels Milla was 133 pixels Hollis was 126 pixels Truman was 122 pixels Morceau was 105 pixels

JUNIOR AGENTS! Adam was approximately 146 pixels Lizzie (and Norma is the same height) was approximately 119 pixels Gisu was 98 pixels Sam was 88 pixels Morris was 79 pixels
