MYCROFT INTERLUDE - an imagined conversation between Holmes and Mycroft in 1888, after the events of the Greek Interpreter, when Watson and Mycroft meet for the first time. I was thinking about the 1885 Labouchere Amendment and Mycroft being protective of his younger brother.

(this is a part of the Watson's Sketchbook series)

I'm sorry in what world would a 12 year old Jason Todd pass as an 18 year old Dick Grayson??

And we're not gonna talk about Damian?

#Tim is less dramatic coz he was so close to Jason's age #but still would have looked noticeably different?? #dc comics #dc universe #batfamily #robin #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #funny #steph too 😂

you guys ever notice how in his dialogue when he's in bertie's presence, jeeves uses quotations and references constantly, but in his THOUGHTS during "bertie changes his mind," he doesn't use any? this is obviously because he doesn't care if we the audience know he knows shakespeare, but he will languish and die if he doesn't get to dazzle bertie with his wit and knowledge every five seconds

#ok actually you know what #this post was supposed to just be a joke #but then i started thinking #the audience jeeves is presumably writing for in bertie changes his mind is new and aspiring valets #members of his own class #to whom he probably feels he has less to prove #but when he's talking to rich people who are liable to look down their noses at him #he needs them to know how smart he is #though he is ALSO a dramatic secret theater kid who's addicted to his crush's attention and admiration #that's very much part of it too #// #jeeves and wooster #jeeves books #bertie changes his mind #carry on jeeves #reginald jeeves #jooster

Hello :D

You're so cool

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

You're very cool :D love your stuff dude

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

hi copper!!! this is a fantastic question!

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

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

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

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

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

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

still,

that fear

never

really

goes

away.....

I'm hearing some mutterings over the movie about how Adrien and Marinette don't seem as crazy about each other as they do in the show, that they're more "attracted" to each other than "in love".

Good

Maybe their relationship will be less codependent and more healthy this time.

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous awakening #ladynoir #adrienette #dating was invented for the sake of getting to know someone you're attracted to and seeing if you'll fall for them properly #it's less dramatic and fairytale-esque but I feel like the movie might be going for that #movie marinette feels like a more relatable and less wish fulfillment type protagonist so her romance being more relatable makes sense

I am so stoked for extra essek content but i kind of hope that the traitor thing isnt like outright revealed early on because I think the bombshell drop of who the traitor is later is so fucking hype.

Like i hope he has a cloak covering him or something to keep things ambiguous while showing the dealings with the Assembly. I hope its ambiguous enough that you can piece it together if youre paying attention but if youre not then its still mindblowing. I was in the audience during the liveshow when it happened and the hundreds of gasps around me was unreal, I hope non-critters will be able to enjoy it the same!

#mighty nein #the legend of the mighty nein #mighty nein animated series #critical role #essek thelyss #critical role campaign 2 spoilers #i think that if they do reveal it early on the bombshell drop will instead be when essek is assigned to them which is fine but i think less #dramatic. it will be interesting to see it from that perspective though!

this generation of kids is so fucked and it’s so depressing to watch in real time. the amount of parents that are like “my preschooler got covid/rsv/had to be hospitalized but it’s ok because kids get sick all the time” is so……in 20 years or so when these kids are in early adulthood we’re going to have an increase in autoimmune diseases and chronic respiratory illnesses along with heart conditions and strokes due to repeated covid infections and researchers are going to be scratching their heads on the cause and ignoring that we let kids go back to schools mid-pandemic with no disease mitigation and then ignored a second respiratory disease resurgence

#it’s **alarming** that between the pandemic and rising pollution #we’re soon going to have a generation that’s less healthy than the previous #we’re failing our youth #also I say covid but before this a lot of schools have mold asbestos shit food lead water etc etc #like we are FAILING these children a lot of them are in worse environments during their school week than most adults #they don’t get a choice or a say like some of these kids are sick nonstop because they’re in dangerous unventilated buildings #but no one realizes because it’s ‘just a cold’ #I know I sound dramatic but a good chunk of my family is in teaching some of these classrooms don’t even have windows??? #meanwhile as adults we have wfh set ups and osha lawsuits and unions doing a tiny bit
