Hello, do you have any random turtle thoughts how they behave in winter? We know they don't hibernate like normal turtles do, but do you think that winter affects their behaviour in any way?
Ah! How fitting! Thank you so much for the query!!! It really got me thinking!!!
Random Winter Turtle Thoughts...
How They Behave in Winter…(18+ themes ahead)
- all four of the brothers fair as well as any human does in winter thanks to their hybrid metabolism
- that being said, each turtle falls asleep faster and far more readily during the coldest months of the year (Raph literally scared the shit out of you the first winter you knew the turtles – see, he almost never has any trouble falling asleep in the first place, but in winter, it is almost instantaneous – he was at your place asking to crash on your bed, you said yes, excitedly thinking you might score some cuddles, only to freak out, genuinely thinking he had died of a heart attack or something right in front of you because he actually fell asleep midfall onto your bed)
- they are all extra cuddly as well, don’t let it go to your head though, you are essentially a living heating pad, and any one of the brothers, if not all, will seek you out to steal some of your body heat if you’re not already in the middle of cuddling someone else, whether you’re dating one of them, all of them or none of them, it doesn’t matter, you are warm, and they want to be warm, so unless you REALLY protest (for whatever baffling reason), it’s gonna happen (wink wink)
- the ONLY exception to this is if you are cold, like just came down from the freezing cold surface, and you are literally cold to touch – then you get assertively placed on the couch or bed and buried under a mountain of blankets, then left alone to thaw, before one of them comes back to check if you’re done cooking (wink)
- the wanting to be extra warm/snuggled in tight and dozing off at the drop of a hat are little remnants of their natural hibernation instincts
- but, being individuals, each brother does have his own quirks that manifest during this time…
- Donnie’s sarcastic meter gets kicked up to notch 10 once the cold really sets in, his patience is also half of what it normally is, if not less, but this is primarily only with his siblings, with you he can be short on the off occasion, but for the most part he keeps himself in good check, the only benefit is that if he is short with you then he is quick to apologize (savor this as he HATES giving immediate apologies any other time)
- once winter sets in Donnie really enjoys binge watching series or movies with you, his brain is lagging a bit so his lab work can and does frustrate him more easily, so he welcomes more frequent, longer breaks, especially with you cuddled up at his side, just be prepared for him to nod off throughout your cuddling, but don’t worry, he’ll rewatch whatever he missed once you’re gone so you don’t have to backtrack
- if you are in a romantic relationship, expect Donnie’s libido to take a moderate dip in winter, after all, if he were a normal turtle, he’d be sleeping like a rock, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise, that is not to say it’s dead however, you can still get this tall terrapin to perform his boyfriend/husbandly duties, he will prefer to just let you be in complete charge during winter, you chose where you want him and how you want him and for the most part that is how it'll happen, it’ll turn out pretty vanilla unless you really get him going and set the mood beforehand
- Leo becomes surprisingly mellow during the coldest months of the year, he just doesn’t have the energy, or honestly the interest, in being as assertive and commanding as he is during warmer months, that’s not to say he won’t assert his position as leader should he feel his position is called into question, and he still takes charge when it is time to train or go out on patrol, it’s just that all the time in between he is happier to just go with the flow
- this is the time to take advantage with Leo, he is more, can I say, impressionable during winter, so if there is something you want to do with him that he is normally uninterested in, like say, watching a movie he didn’t think looked any good, or practice calligraphy together, or even drawing on him things you’d think would be super-hot as tattoos, then he is pretty willing to go along with it, so long as it’s something you guys can do together cuddled up under a warm blanket and you wouldn’t get mad at him for dozing off during, then he’s a happy camper, it’s more time with you, and you’re taking charge in a way that doesn’t question his dominance, so all in all he’s interested in taking it easy
- if you are in a romantic relationship with Leo, you can expect a moderate dip in his libido as well, during winter he is more interested in simply spending time with you, being with you, but if you are persistent enough, then he’ll get excited and become willing to please, just know that during winter there is only one speed with Leo in the bedroom, ONE, it is always soft and sensual, all about strengthening your bond, showing you how much he treasures you, no matter how hard you try, no matter what tricks you pull out of your sleeve, no matter how much a brat you act, even if you’re on top, Leo will dictate the pace, but you cannot deny the fact he always leaves you well and truly satisfied
- Raph likes to up his workout game during winter, he doesn’t like feeling lethargic, he likes action, and if there is none going on, he’ll make it for himself, it’s a two birds one stone kind of deal, working out keeps him from losing any mass AND it helps warm him up, part of him upping his workouts means he is also interested in more cardio, so this will directly result in him being extra playful, wrestling, chasing, basketball, you name it, and he’s down for it
- out of all his brothers Raph experiences the slightest dip in his libido during winter, part of this is because he’s pushing himself harder in his gym, he’s got more testosterone pumping than his brothers, (but surprisingly he has less interest in challenging Leo – don’t ask me, I don’t make the rules), and subsequently, also oddly perhaps, Raph is more willing to be sub in the bedroom, take advantage of this, come warmer months his testosterone will renew his need to be the dominant partner
- a side effect of his extra gym efforts and his desire to be extra warm is long, hot showers, Raph loves water, he believes in water therapy, naturally he’s a creature that spends a lot of time in the water, so this way he gets to be warm, have the water soothe away his aches, AND, he gets you naked, right there with him, to admire, to touch, to love, and you’d be lying to not only me and yourself and every other person on the planet if you didn’t admit that shower cuddling with Raphael is one of the single most amazing things you’ll ever experience in your life
- Mikey surprisingly handles winter the best of the lot, he is still as eager and as bright as ever, he doesn’t miss a beat with his artwork, gaming or developing new tricks on his skateboard, and he is still ever much the prankster, but in winter he has a lot MORE interest in hanging out with you in one place, wherever that is, however that is, (can you say blanket fort and watching the X Games???), but he’s happiest if you’re seated in his lap with a blanket draped around the two of you, his arms wrapped around you holding his game controller while you lean back against his plastron, (do you know how much in 7th heaven he’d be if YOU fell asleep on him like this right now?!)
- probably the most noticeable change in the youngest turtle during winter though, is how much less he eats!, it’s part of that latent hibernation instinct, he’ll still readily cook anything, especially if it is something you make a special request for, but changes are he’ll only take a few bites himself, even pizza orders drop from one pizza a piece to just a single pizza in winter, Mikey’s belly is simply so much less demanding, that’s not to say he doesn’t get hungry, far from it, he still has his hybrid metabolism demanding nourishment, and he’s still very active on the ninja crime fighting front, so he’s gotta feed his body, but he isn’t the bottomless pit he normally is
- if you are in a romantic relationship with Mikey, then be prepared for your man to have a significant drop in his libido, now just because his drive is low doesn’t mean it’s not still push to start, if you tell him you want it, by golly it’s happening, no further incentive needed, but during the coldest months it’s almost like he forgets about it, if you don’t bring it up, or whatever you’re watching/listening to doesn’t make him think about it, then it’s not on his mind, and he’s perfectly happy to go without it, so long as you still spend time with him, still cuddle him, then sunshine boi is content as is until the weather warms up
** BONUS** It’s a good idea to bring any food or drink you want down with you when you go to the lair. Should you need or want to leave to get anything then you best expect to be met with a chorus of audible groans and whines. At least one of the turtles will go with you, if not all of them, and I assure you, that if there is snow, then they will turn into children and immediately start a snowball fight upon reaching the surface. And without a doubt, you are absolutely a target.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The End! Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!

Someday Snippet
I was tagged by both @beautitudes and @heartofspells, but I was out of town this weekend, so this is my first chance to get to it. Thanks SO MUCH to both of you for tagging me.
This is from a Wolfstar Raisies Harry after POA fic that I've written a lot of and put away for a long time, and I'm considering resurecting to finish now.
~*~
“Haz, what are you doing?” Sirius asked. 
Harry didn’t even look over his shoulder. Instead, his head was under the sink, digging for something. “The dishes. Where’s the soap?”
“I don’t have any, and you don’t need to do the dishes.” 
Harry turned around, brow furrowed. “You don’t have soap? How do you get the dishes clean?”
Remus raised his wand and pointed it at the sink. Immediately it filled with sudsy water, and the dishes began scrubbing themselves. “Did you forget we were wizards, Harry?”
Harry looked dumbly at the sink before moving back to the table. “I guess I didn’t think of it. I’ve always done them by hand.” 
“Your mum did that too, I remember.” Sirius said. “Said she never liked the way the charm got them clean.” 
“Do you remember when James cleaned them with the charm without telling her, and she made him pull them all back out of the cabinets to redo it?” Remus laughed. 
“She was so mad.” Sirius leaned back laughing. “He knew she didn’t like it, but didn’t think she could actually tell the difference.”
“She got mad at him for how he cleaned the dishes?” Harry looked confused. 
“Not like mad, mad.” Remus said. “She helped him redo them, and in the end, I think they ended up–” Remus cut off short, eyes going wide as he looked at Sirius.
Harry looked between them. “Ended up what?” 
Sirius smirked. “Dancing. In the kitchen together.” 
Harry smiled, leaning on his hand. “That’s sweet.”
Not sure who has been tagged and who hasn't, or who wants to be tagged again, so here's a no pressure tag: @hihimissamericanbi @tracingpatternswrites @puuvillaa @babblingflowers @annabtg @charmingwillow and an open tag for literally anyone who wants it.

M: --and it's seriously everything I hoped for! The suit's a bit bulky but it's a small price to pay! O: Uh-huh. It's definitely not your most flattering look. M: Yeah but it's specially designed to-- wait a minute. Did I ever show you a picture of the suit?

there seems to be two conflicting trains of thought around greta of 1) she’s incredibly damaged by being a secret affair only to be left by everyone in the end or 2) she knew what she was getting into with married women and it was an arrangement that worked well for her and y’all do know that both are correct right
yeah it’s an arrangement that works for her. yeah she’s probably had good times. yeah she’s been able to get laid and have fun and enjoy her time with them. but equally the psychology behind it - becoming something to be hidden, something damaging to a reputation, something shameful and temporary - is going to have deep-stained consequences, consequences that greta herself probably doesn’t even know the half of.
her entire adult life has been a rolling series of being the ‘damaging secret’ and that is incredibly hard to deal with, even if in the moment she’s having a genuinely good time. there’s a reason carson openly wanting to be with her and show her off at the bar is such a big deal for her. but by the same token that trauma doesn’t cancel out that yeah, she’s been able to live her life in a way that means she still gets to indulge in her sexuality, and she’s also done that by choice
both statements are correct, people’s lives are complex, and greta gill needs a hug

any suggestions for becoming a sims based blog? I used to do it back in the hayday of sims 3 but it's been YEARS and I still absolutely love making sims, but I'm too shy and nervous to interact with the community ;;;
hi nonny! this is a complicated question that I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask lol but let me try it out. I think I'm gonna separate it into two parts for ease of reading. And sorry if it's a bit more cynical than you probably expected. I've just learned a lot i wish I had done from the start, lol. So here we go.
Sims content
Post whatever tf you feel like. If you love making sims, post the hell outta them and don't worry about what anyone thinks. There's no one perfect type of content to appeal to everyone; the community is made up of a million smaller niche ones. Editors, sim makers, gameplayers, storytellers, cc makers, etc. If you're passionate about it, you'll find people that love your posts. So don't worry too much.
Don't get too hung up on editing, if you want your pics to look "better" then use gshade/reshade and/or simple psd actions to your liking. Don't let it get stressful cos it ain't worth it. If you don't enjoy editing, don't do it at all. (I wrote more about how I edit & make it easier in this post)
Try your very best not to worry about notes. I know it's hard. Everyone wants their stuff to be seen, but when it comes to engagement on here, you're aiming for quality over quantity. A few awesome mutuals commenting on your stuff is way better than 600 silent likes. Also, having more attention sucks bc it brings the vile swamp rats out of their holes to see what shit they can stir up. The brief serotonins aint worth it. Just aim to find a few cool ppl to talk about your sims with cos thats all that matters.
If you want, find bachelor/ette or similar challenges ppl are doing and submit sims for them. And once you get some mutuals/followers, open sim requests so you can make sims for people. It's super fun and awesome to see your sims in other people's games! And you don't have to talk too much if you don't feel like it, but it's an easy way to get involved with others.
Social stuff & safety
Comment on peoples posts often if you like them. Engage with ppl. Reblog posts you see you like but don't really have any reblogs. I know you said you're shy but, this is most of the way to actual have mutuals that enjoy talking to you and comment on your stuff as well. You can just not talk if you want but it'll make it harder to have any engagement unless you're really good at edits or cc making.
Don't get involved with drama/discourse, it means nothing and amounts to nothing. If you're going to boost someone else's post, look into it first and look for evidence that it's even true before you reblog. If people hate on you in your inbox, block the anon and don't respond even to laugh at them. Block anyone that gives you bad vibes. They look at you funny, breathe wrong, use a color you don't like. Block. If anyone tries to start shit with you, block & completely ignore them & don't comment on it. It hurts, but there's nothing you can do about it, and people will move on if you ignore them.
Don't reveal any personal info about yourself on here or to anyone in DMs. Don't use your real name. Don't have anything connected to your other socials. Don't trust anyone on here with your vulnerable emotions, past trauma, etc. And don't say anything in DM you wouldn't feel comfortable with everyone else on the internet potentially seeing.
If you pledge to people on patreon, be aware that your email will show up on their end when you do. Dont use your real name as your patreon username.
If simblr is causing you stress, you feel like your mental health is suffering, take breaks. Log off or delete the app for a while.
And... I think that's all I can think of for now. If there's anything else detailed you wanna ask about feel free. But these are just my general thoughts. Good luck, nonny :)

Tales From Dispatch, Pt. 26
ME: *looking over calls for service* What are my favorite idiots getting up to today? *phone rings* ME: Dispatch, this is Fran. Northtown PD: Hey, this is Dispatcher with the Northtown Police Department. We've got an 18-wheeler headed southbound on HGWY 25 into your jurisdiction and part of the back end is on fire. Our officers tried to pull it over, but the vehicle wouldn't stop. ME: *eyebrows on hairline while entering a reckless vehicle call* All right. Did your caller happen to get a license plate? NPD: No, they didn't. Just that it's a fertilizer truck, headed southbound into your jurisdiction with the back end on fire. ME: All right. We'll get some folks out there and see if we can get them stopped. NPD: Thanks. Have a good night! *call disconnected* ME: My favorite idiots get to chase down actual flaming poops. Okay.

wolfstar raising harry after POA snippet
“Hazza, can we talk to you for a moment?”
Harry looked up from where he was flipping through a quidditch magazine next to his bowl of cereal. “Sure?” There was an uncertain lilt to his voice, and it almost made Sirius smile.
“There’s something important we wanted to discuss with you.”
Harry’s eyes went wide. “I already know about, um, sex, so you really don’t have to worry about that. I don’t need to like, talk about it or anything.”
Sirius furrowed his brows, barely catching the bubble of hysterical laughter that caught in his throat. “That wasn’t what I wanted to talk about, Harry, but who talked to you about sex?”
Harry pressed his lips together, almost certainly regretting what he said and the fact that it seemed to push Sirius into wanting to discuss it now. “I–uh, well Fred and George had–”
“Alright, nope.” Sirius shook his head, not missing the way that Remus covered his mouth with his hand to hide his laughter. “I can already tell you that whatever they said is not accurate and should be immediately disregarded.”
Harry relaxed, slightly, and looked at Sirius shyly. “So, girls don’t have, um–” Harry looked around, glancing at Remus who had managed to school his features just in time “–teeth down there?”
Sirius just looked at Harry, certain that he misheard the question, because there’s no way that Harry actually thought there were teeth between a girl’s legs. “Teeth?”
“Yeah, Fred said that girls have lips down there, and between the lips are teeth that can bite you if they get angry.”
Remus started laughing again, and he made no attempt this time to hide it. Sirius bit back a smile as best he could, but it was a bit of a lost cause. “No, Harry. There are no teeth down there.”
Harry was smiling now too. “I’m guessing there’s no tongue either.”
