I had another thought about Stone Ocean’s fashion designs, and how so many characters wear the infamous boot-pants
Tumblr media
And that is just the main cast, you get many more among the other characters
Tumblr media
My first shit theories were that Araki had banned feetpics, or that he had given them waders to adapt to Florida swampwater and seawater.
But I was reminded of one point of Japan’s culture, on how important it was for most households to remove one’s shoes when entering the place. It is a matter of hygiene and respect.
So is this Araki going “My characters are Americans/living as Americans and so they are rude and nasty as fuck”? 
Is this Araki deciding that, if ever they would want to remove their shoes to be nice, they would have to walk around the house with no pants and their whole ass (and in some case, tits too) spilling out? Is this America to Araki?
Below is a reconstitution of part 6 Jotaro removing his snakeskin bootpants in order to visit his mommy because he doesn’t want to be rude to her home

I don't even have a problem with dean/cas as a ship. It's lovely. I can see it - i really can. Under different circumstances, I might even love it and be obsessed with it.
Those different circumstances being if Dean and Cas were in a completely different show. Cause in THIS show, Dean and Sam, as written by Eric Kripke and portrayed by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, have such palpable chemistry that it reached through my laptop screen and punched me in the gut.
I'm like, "aw yeah Dean would be so cute with that gay angel! Too bad he's desperately, wretchedly, fatally in love with his little brother though. Sorry Cas, it's not your fault. You never even stood a chance."
By the time Cas arrived, it was way too late. I had already seen how deep the codependence went. I already knew that there was no hope for Sam and Dean. I already knew that their love was terminal. It's not that dean/cas isn't appealing. It's just...impossible.

Age of the TMNT at the end of their series (theory)
One day while I was watching the 1987 TMNT episode where they travel to the future (Season 5 Episode 2) I noticed something. When Donatello is taking everyone back to the present he says “Next stop, the year 1991″ and this got me thinking. How old would the TMNT be at the end of their respective series? While I was thinking I remembered another detail; TMNT 2003′s season Fast Forward takes place 100 years into the future. In the intro you can see the year 2105 being used. That would mean the year where they got transported would be 2005. Quickly whipping out my calculator and final brain cell this is what I found.
(Quick disclaimer. I haven’t watched 87, 03, and 12 in a while/fully. I may miss in-universe timing details. I also have not fully seen the air dates. Information I will be missing is certain 87 seasons, Fast Forward, Back to the Sewers, part of Turtles Forever).
How old are the 1987 TMNT?
The wiki lists the turtles’ birth year as 1972. This would make them 15 at the start of the series. As stated above, Donatello states they are in the year 1991. This is 4 years after 1987. This would make the turtles 19 years old. TMNT 1987 ends in the year 1996 which is 5 years after 1991. 19 + 5 = 24. The turtles would be 24 years old at the end of their series.
TL;DR 1996 - 1972 = 24
How old are the 2003 TMNT?
The turtles are listed to be born in 1987, this would make them 16 at the start of the series. The 6th season, Fast Forward (FF), starts with the turtles and Splinter being transported 100 years into the future. The year is 2105 meaning the turtles would’ve been in the year 2005 before being transported. This would be 2 years after 2003 thus making them 18 at the time. The year TMNT 2003 completed its run was in the year 2009. A whole 4 years after FF. 18 + 4 = 22. The turtles would be 22 at the end of their series.
TL;DR 2009 - 1987 = 22
How old are the 2012 TMNT?
We all know the 2012 TMNT are 15, it was revealed to us in the first episode. What most of us don’t know is that their birth year/mutation year is 1997 (tmnt wiki). Their aging has been tricky as they are shown/implied to constantly be 15, which is bullshit in my opinion. So for this section, I say fuck canon and hello logic. The show ended its run in 2017, 5 years after 2012. 15 + 5 = 20. The turtles would 20 years old at the end of their series. Side note, this would make Raph a legal DILF. TL;DR 2017 - 1997 = 20
How old are the 2018 TMNT (aka Rise TMNT)
Now, there is not much to do especially since Rise is not over (please don’t let it be true) but I will do what I can. Raphael is 15 at the start of ROTTMNT, Leonardo and Donatello are 14, and Michelangelo is 13. According to the TMNT wiki, their birth years are 2003, 2004, and 2005. The Lair Games take place in 2019. This would make their ages 16, 15, and 14. The turtles are listed on the wiki to be 17, 16, and 15 in the movie. This would mean the Krang invasion would take place in 2020 (I am well aware this is not canon but if you want to have fun with the chaotic year known as 2020 then go ahead). There is not much I can say here as the timeline is messy due to cancellation and other details.
Bonus round!
April O’neil is said to be 28 in season 3 of TMNT 1987. Season 3 began airing in 1989. 2 years apart. 28 - 2 = 25. April is 25 at the start. This would also make her birth year 1962. 1996 - 1962 = 34. She is 34 at the end of the series.
The wiki states 2003 April to be 1980. 2003 - 1980 = 23. She is 23 at the start of the series. 2009 - 1980 = 29. She is 29 when the series ends.
2012 April’s birth year is 1996. She is one year older than the turtles making her 16. 2017 - 1996 = 21 OR 20 + 1 = 21. This would make her legally able to drink (she probably teases them about it too). Rise April birth year is 2002, making her 16. In “Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree” she has her birthday and turns 17 years old. In the ROTTMNT movie she is 18.
What to do with this information?
You can use the information I gathered for fanfiction. You could write stories about them coming of age, becoming adults, and reflecting on their youth and how it was basically stripped from them. There are many things you can use with this information. However, I would advise against using these as a way to create NSFW or crush on them as it is speculation and I would rather not fight anons and other people rn. I cannot stop you but I will be upset if people start fighting me for my shower thought rambling.
Closing note
I hope you all enjoyed my mad rambling disguised as something professional. This is the only time I have gone out of my way to do maths and it was fun. I hope whoever comes across this can use it for some good angst. There is no need to credit me for any of this I just did it for fun and want people to have fun with this too. If anyone wants to reblog this to add on with in-universe details be my guest :> or if you want to include the comics and movies I would greatly appreciate that. Anyway, bye.

A character looks straight into the camera and says "I'm not interested in romance" and people will still say "No, it's not confirmed they're aromantic!!!" "They could change their mind!!!" "it's a challenge for them to overcome!!!" "They'll have character development that makes them fall in love"
It's like they are given the most blatant answer to a character romantic orientation and they actively ignore it. all the while all it takes is subtext for people to speak as if it is fact for a character to be any other sexuality.

hi, i have a pretty general Chinese name question. about how common are generation markers in names, and how common/rare is it for generation markers to be extended to girls? ive been pretty curious abt this for a while since my younger brother got a generation marker in his name but as a female i didn’t. i don’t think my mom’s side of the family has a generation marker poem/phrase, but i think they did name three boy cousins including my uncle as a set and left my mom out, so id like to ask about matching names between siblings or cousins too
Like a lot of traditional stuff, generational names aren't used as much after the cultural revolution because it is sort of an old tradition and also because it's something that was more for literary and/or wealthier families.
In my own family, my paternal grandfather was the last person on that side whose name included the generational name. My dad and his brother and sister all have revolutionary names (the trend around then), and while they share a character, it's not their pre-determined generational name. It can sound more cohesive to give siblings matching names, which I think might be the case with your mom's brothers, but it's by no means a rule, and it wouldn't extend to cousins. A generational name would be shared among paternal cousins and even distant paternal cousins from the same region, depending on how long ago the verse was set.
Me and my sister share a character in our names (天) but it's not our generational name, either. My cousins on my dad's side don't use our generational name (恩), either, but they also don't share a character in their names at all. My cousins on my mom's side don't have a generational name because my maternal grandfather's family were peasants/farmers; my maternal grandmother's side had generational names but didn't use them for my grandmother or her sister.
If there was a generational name, both girls and boys would have the same one, though. The point of generational names is the distinguish the generations. Anecdotally, all of the daughters listed on my dad's family tree from the last hundred or so years have the generational name.
You would have to ask your parents why they didn't give you yours. Maybe because generational names aren't followed as much anyway, they decided to just give you a different name that they liked more? Maybe they remembered about generational names after you were born and thus decided to use if for your younger brother?
