When nerds come together…

Summary: April finally introduces her “normal” friend. Although, she’ll have to redefine her definition of “normal”.

When Donnie first met you, he had his doubts. Apil introduced you as her "normal" friend. But this was April. "Normal" for her was in the 0.0001 percentile. Not impossible, but you might as well have thought it was. You, being introduced as such, was within reason of suspicion. In his initial observations, you were shy and borderline introverted. It was evident with you hiding behind April as you greeted them all. You spoke with so much uncertainty that you even stammered. To put it simply, Othello Von Ryan was not impressed.

"You're going to get along great," she said. "You both have so much in common," she also said. You told April prior that this wasn't going to work out. Not because of this whole...situation. Okay, so maybe a little. Luckily, she briefed you a week before heading down to the lair. But it was mainly because of who you were as a person. You weren't exactly a people person. You often find them loud and messy, and even illogical. For example, pineapple on pizza. An abomination of the truest kind. It's for reasons like this that you preferred being cooped up in your laboratory. It's quiet, spotless, and promotes a higher level of thinking. Hence, the creation of your darlings. Beautiful works of art made from metal, programming, and a boatload of caffeine.

Of course, being a genius, people aren't fans of you as much as you are of them. The teasing, you could handle. After all, you had an armada of anti-bullying technology made by yours truly. It was the social interactions that got to you, i.e., April. Who somehow barged into your life. She found you working on your tech in the library once, and ever since, she has been your self-proclaimed best friend. She mentioned her turtle buddies only recently. When she walked into the same place, and saw you tinkering with your oozequito tracking goggles. She knew she had to introduce you. Particularly to a certain purple-clad turtle genius. Of course, you wouldn't say yes immediately. But after saying the words “mystic” and “mutant” in the same sentence, she had your attention. So that's how you found yourself here, in the NY sewers. Being scrutinized by four color-coded mutant turtles with epic ninja skills.

Mikey, being the overly-friendly orange turtle, hugged you in greeting before asking you for your pizza preference. A large Cheesy Supreme. Leo was next, laying on the charm thick. The cringe was real. Raph went third. The eldest, the leader, and whose mission plans always start and end with punching like a boss. And lastly, and somewhat reluctantly, was Donnie. Eyeing you over with his goggles, rather than offering his hand to shake like a normal person, a robotic one popped out of his battle shell instead. Carefully, you shook it, admiring the intricacy and sophistication of the details of the automaton.

...

"Is this t-titanium grade 4 alloy?"

The words came out of your mouth before you could stop them. April, quite desperately too, wanted you to be friends with her...teenage mutant ninja turtle gang. And, from experience, nobody like a smartypants. You were definitely not making a great first impression. But at least you tried. It's the effort that matters, right? You could feel the beads of sweat rolling down your back and, most likely, drenching your shirt. When he replied, it definitely wasn't what you expected him to say.

"Well, of course! Only a miscreant would use anything but the best quality!"

He isn't going to laugh at me? Or look at me weirdly? Could this turtle, in all of his purple glory...be a nerd? Description-wise, April had only revealed that “you two would get along” and refused to clarify any further. There is only one way to put a theory to the test.

"You know, i-if you used uranium as an e-energy source, you could level up these darlings b-big time."

...

You saying nerdy stuff? Donnie definitely didn't expect that. You didn't look the type. And, not to be judgmental, but you didn't seem the type. But you were. And you understood his sentiments exactly. He couldn't help the excitement that bubbled up inside him.

"I know, right?! Think of all the upgrades I could do with even just an iota of uranium! I would be unstoppable! But sadly, papa rat won't let me have some.”

Donnie got a good tail slap to the back of the head for that. Feeling a bit more comfortable now, especially with the science talk, you bravely continued. A smile slowly starting to spread on your face.

"What if you had more than an iota of uranium?"

At this, April’s head did a 160 from something Leo had said to you.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that your nuclear stable thingy was in beta? Which, you so thoroughly said, meant that it was 'Off Limits'."

Pulling up air quotations as she quotes you saying the same thing to her no more than a week ago when she bugged you about your oozequito goggles. Smugly, you smiled at your best friend as you reached into your bag and pulled out the glowing device.

"You mean my beautiful portable nuclear stabilizer? Yes, yes it was. 'Til now. "

"You brought uranium to the lair?!"

"No, I brought uranium to the school, April. Which ended with you dragging me here before I could stow it away in a safer location. A.K.A., my lab."

You hear the gasp of horror behind you as you turn to face Donnie once more. The device in your hand had an ominous green glow that eerily illuminated his face. It was quite beautiful. The turtle in question had stars in his eyes with how excited he was. He made gimme-gimme hands before coming to some sort of realization at the last minute. Taking a deep breath, he recomposed himself.

"You're just going to hand me the uranium? That sounds suspect. What's the catch?”

The small shy smile that had adorned your face before spread wide. Almost menacingly.

"As I said, uranium is a wonderful energy source. If I am to give you some of mine, it must be for a worthwhile cause. So, I want to be co-creator. From frame, to wiring, to programming, alpha, beta, and testing. Think of it as means of securing my investment."

“And if I decline your conditions?”

“Then prepare to say your sweet farewell.”

"I see. Begrudgingly, I accept. However, I will have to demand that you keep my lab as prestine as possible."

With a gleaming and potentially dangerous device in hand, you marched alongside the turtle as he led you toward his beloved laboratory. The other five, completely forgotten and left out of the conversation, looked at you two in confusion.

"What just happened?"

"I think Donnie just made a new friend!"

"Ugh, April! You said that this one was normal!"

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣P.S. School has been so hectic lately (°▽°) I haven’t written anything almost 2 weeks. Here is some platonic? Rise!Donnie x reader. Might make a more romantic part 2 if y’all like this. And again, thank you so much for all the love my stories have been getting! Please enjoy!

P.P.S. The gif isn’t mine

the centuries long japanese hatred against korean people would honestly be so funny if it didn't lead to near-extinction of korean people and society.

like in the 1500s japan used all their money and years of effort on preparing to finally conquer the korean peninsula and logically would have succeeded but admiral yi sunshin just invented the turtle ship and destroyed the entire naval armada with like 13 turtle boats 😭😭

and since the joseon/korea has been called the knife at the heart of nippon and an inferior race and the only thing stopping japanese supremacy. they're literally still so mad about yi sunshin that bowser is based on the turtle boats.

My own take on Red Alert, a boy I valued the Armada-incarnation of very much growing up. So of course mine had to also have a giant turtle shell on his back, lol. I haven't quite decided what this Red Alert transforms into just yet, but he's not a vehicle; and thus no wheels!

Lore and backstory below!

A dutiful student of the master doctor Ratchet, Red Alert had hoped to bring revolutionary medicinal technology to the cybertronian people. He hoped to limit pain as much as scientifically possible, to make healing and recovery as seamless a process as transformation itself. After all, was healing not but another form of transformation? To turn pain into life, and to reshape a wound into undamaged cyber matter.

Then the Civil War began, and all Red Alert had time to do was stem the bleeding of his home. He had little other choice but to heal battle wounds, to reattach limbs and repair damaged systems. Despair creeped into Red Alert's spark like a disease, and he worried he'd never be able to actually make a difference. If all he did was heal so that they could do more harm, what was even the point?

That was when Red Alert met twin brothers Hot Shot and Hot Rod, and through them he realized what the war actually meant.

The freedom to fight was just as important as healing those who fought. The autobots didn't just fight for any old cause, but to keep their people from succumbing to bloodlust forever. If Red Alert left warriors like them to die from their injuries, he would risk only leaving monsters like Bonecrusher left in the fight.

When the war finally ended with the truce against Unicron, Red Alert was honored to be chosen among those who would travel into space in search of long lost kin. Their search would lead them to a world seeded with energon, lost from their records and yet inhabited by organic and cyber life alike. There they found their old khadracon brethren, and reunions were had across the face of the land called Fódlan.

Red Alert would, centuries down the road, choose to ally himself with the Church of Seiros Caelus. They had need of a medical expert who could safeguard the bodies of fallen mini-cons, to watch over them as they rested within Vector's Sanctum in Garreg Mach. There, he faithfully served not as an autobot, but as a faithful cybertronian who believed in the cyberkins' goddess and just wanted to help.

A more noble desire there rarely was, even as Red Alert would one day find his faithfulness betrayed, and his mind possessed by dark forces no one ever warned him of.

I should be sleeping but no imma rank all of pirate's books by how much I enjoy them

XIII- best story arc out of both games, the writing fuckin peaked here

VIII - beginning sucked hard and was super tedious, but once you get into port regal it's good

X - fighting captain blood and deacon at the end was cool, but I didn't really care for everything else. Death is a funny character I hope they bring him back.

IV - where the story really picks up. I liked finding out about el dorado and the armada. That one scene with the armada soldier after you recover the first map piece was cool. I like Valencia as a world, it's a shame it was never used to its fullest potential.

VI - *trumpet noises*

XIII - nice seeing more unique scenery in mooshu. The quest to find the turtle balls was somewhat fun. Still, you're traversing across huge ass maps and my god mooshu is so drawn out because of this

IX - even though it's not really all that necessary to main story, I liked the magnificent seven questline and it didn't overstay its welcome

II,III,V - grouping these together since I have nothing to say other than they were fine. Didn't hate these, but also don't have anything great to say either.

I - fuck blood shoals. all my homies hate blood shoals.

XIV - I hate aquila so much it is so long and boring and every time I enter achea a part of my soul dies. The fact that it comes after XIII doesn't help.

XI - would've gone in the fine tier if they didn't make these maps so big and repetitive. KI please for the love of god add teleporters here I hate these areas so much.

VII - like IX it's not all that necessary to the main story, unlike IX I actually hate this book. Most of it is just completing fetch quests for some angry spirits and the less striped bumbaloons I have to fight the better.

XV - do I even have to explain

Sparbossa Brainrot Part 9: I Do The Most

Okay so I meant to put this up way earlier but I kept fucking forgetting because I just keep staring at my docs and trying to will myself to write something but alas it isn’t happening. So more pirate gays it is!

Starting off with more divorcee bickering! Everyone present is watching them like a tennis match and it’s the funniest fucking thing to me this is prime time pirate entertainment I bet their divorce was front line gossip for months. On a more serious note though, it amuses me that Barbossa says this despite not seeing Jack for like 10 years post-mutiny. And he’s right, is the thing; Jack does prioritize getting the hell out of dodge rather than seeing a fight through. The only time (up till now at least) that he didn’t was when he was hellbent on killing Barbossa. The things obssession will do to you eh :)

This is the equivalent of if a couple world leaders interrupted a world summit on live TV to have a marital fight btw

I used to quote this a lot growing up. The dramatic zoom in on him is what really makes it

Most everyone in the room agree with him so wholeheartedly and Barbossa is just "I fucking hate every single one of you and I hate him the most"

Ya gotta know the main parts of the Code to know how to bend the rules the way he does so it doesn't surprise me that he's aware of this. Way to up the stakes by calling in your exes dad though. Also makes you wonder when Barbossa read through the Code so thoroughly :3

Universal emotion for when your Dad gets called into school

Gibbs and Barbossa know the dude talking shit is about to be shot

"I'm fucked"

Teague's musical motif is almost identical to Jack's just played slightly "off" in tone (best way I can describe it)

I love that Elizabeth also makes background faces like Will does it’s so much fun

They drop quite a few clues as to Teague and Jack's relation before it’s properly revealed: their appearance, the musical motif, Jack's reaction to Teague being called upon, and now the sea turtles line - which we have, of course, heard Jack use before and was something Will picked up in DMC

Look at Barbossa bowing all pleased with himself. And Jack's just "absolutely not lemme look at this fucking book" and Teague - who definitely knows these two are divorcees - backs up to let him (this acts as another hint to their relation, btw, since Teague allows him to touch the book without permission first)

Chevalle and Teague: nobody will become Pirate King Jack, about to cause chaos:

I WISH I COULD CATCH THE TONGUE CLICK BARBOSSA MAKES HERE IT CRACKS ME UP. Being a long-suffering husband never ends even when you're divorced I guess

The reactions following this are simply sublime. Even Elizabeth and Gibbs are stunned. Barbossa called in Teague to enforce the code and Jack's gonna use that to his advantage for no other reason than to piss off Barbossa honestly

"Aww Hector you called my Dad in to one-up me? Watch this"

Lets just say its a good thing he can't lunge for Jack right now

Isn't it sweet that he gives Elizabeth a nod of pride and approval?

He looks like a wet cat here lol

Teague's words here, I think, are what ultimately cause Jack to save Will's life in the end. Because as much as he acts the part of being aloof and uncaring he really wouldn't be able to live with himself if he let Will die. He likes the kid too much

The crew: raucous battle cries Barbossa: now how can I use this to free Calypso

Jack is the first to notice the size of the armada

EVERYONE TURNING TO BLAME JACK BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE ELIZABETH KING LMAO

Obviously it's extremely badass for Elizabeth to have these two on either side of her acting as guards and helpful liasons but Jack is placing himself away from Barbossa for strategic reasons because he does, in fact, plan on being bargained away himself which was a big part of why he voted Elizabeth for King and Barbossa can't immediately throttle him for it like this lol

Barbossa is stepping further forward in this shot, putting him in front of the other two, and Jack is also moving faster than Elizabeth - given they have a lot more experience than her in such affairs it makes sense they would be in front of her as they walk so they can react quicker

Took me a couple of attempts to get this but our boys are near perfectly in time with their steps and even plant their feet the exact same way, widening their stances, where Elizabeth keeps hers closer together, because she is still a woman from high class and you can't get rid of those traits just by knowing pirates for a year

Barbossa is the first to roll his head lazily over to Jack's direction, whereas Elizabeth is more of a quick snap. It took her a second or two longer than Barbossa - who immediately got Beckett's meaning - to catch up with what was being said which is why her head snaps so hard to the side in comparison to Barbossa's seething roll

Will basically outright acknowledging that he's been following Jack's lead on this ever since their talk on The Pearl before Jack had him fall overboard is a nice way to show that the lengths he's willing to go to achieve his ends

Beckett revealing he is in possession of Jack's compass is the only thing Barbossa needs to connect the dots here and figure out what Jack's trying to do. This is around the moment you see him decide to just cut the Piece of Eight off himself the second he gets the chance

Barbossa being set off the side from this trio shows that, while Elizabeth is mainly focused on Jack's involvment with Will, Barbossa himself is analysing the bigger play going on behind the scenes

Elizabeth finally catches up to what Jack's plan is the moment Davy mentions the debt and thus this is why she is so quick to bargain Jack. Will himself even offers her a sly smirk when he sees that recognition. Willzabeth parallel Sparbossa with the wordless convo that passes between them here

Barbossa's attention is, as we've seen many times now, completely focused on Jack but he does do a rapidfire double take that is too quick for me to catch when Elizabeth "proposes an exchange"

While he was trying to analyse whatever the fuck Jack was planning, ultimately he ended up being a step behind because he was so focused on Jack that he failed to see the microexpressions passing between Willzabeth. Neat parallels to when Willzabeth were so focused on eachother in BP they never took notice of what Sparbossa were doing

Now obviously Jack is playing up that he is "against" this ploy buuuut he can't resist giving Barbossa a smug smirk anyways before turning his attention back to Elizabeth which

Leads us to this (notice how Jack's positioning when he bowed means his bow was meant to be a mocking gesture to Barbossa rather than a respectful one to Elizabeth) and I can't help but feel that this was a personal revenge for when Jack cut his hat feather back in BP

Naturally, because this is an ongoing 10D chess game where everyone around them are the pieces on the board and Sparbossa are the players, Jack's smugness doesn't last for long once his Piece is taken from him but what we do get

Is whatever the fuck kinda tension and foreplay they got going on here now that they're back on even ground again (for real though can you back up a bit fellas because you'd be in kissing distance if Jack leant forward even a little good god there's bystanders present)

Bonus live Will reaction to the above

Genuinely I think Will's face here is him going "what the fuck is up with you two" and Jack's answering reply is basically ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Doesn't fear it enough to abandon Will though! You could do a whole separate meta about how Jack's loyalty runs deep once given but alas I'm not here for that

Elizabeth and Inigo Montoya would be friends I think. Also look at Barbossa watching his fledgling threatening a man they grow up so fast :')

Now that Will has proven himself to be as shrewd a man as Jack himself, Barbossa gives him a mean, distrustful look as he turns to follow Elizabeth and even takes extra steps to back himself up so he's standing in front of Will to give him The Full Stare before walking past him. It's about the theatrics it's about the drama

Elizabeth is now leading because she's fully embraced being the King whereas before she was walking side by side with Jack and Barbossa but her steps were a little behind their own. And now Will is walking in Jack's place so symbolically he is no longer Jack's "pupil" you could say (there's a reason I'm not saying the same for Elizabeth yet I'm waiting for a specific moment to happen shhh)

Barbossa may have gotten what he wanted from Jack but he is pissed about not having Jack himself here and even turns to throw one last near-snarl in Jack's direction. Kinda funny how both him and Beckett want Jack in this movie. Food for thought on that one, eh?

Remember in the past when Jack said he tells the truth quite often but people never believe him? I think that's applicable here actually. A lot of the time he does genuinely know what he's doing it's just that his thought process is so crazy to an outside perspective (barring Barbossa's of course) it's easy to see him as a lucky idiot instead of a fucking genius

Love the little detail here where you can see exactly where Barbossa cut his bandana to get the Piece of Eight just like how Barbossa's hat is still missing the big Ostrich feather that Jack cut back in the first movie

Barbossa has kept himself in boiling silence this whole time and only speaks again when Elizabeth mentions using The Pearl as a flagship. Course by this point his crew have begun bringing Tia Dalma to the deck for The Ritual (this also means that at some point on the way back he overtook Willzabeth and marched to The Pearl by himself)

There's a sharp head turn when Will speaks up but his anger doesn't truly spike until Jack is mentioned. Hell hath no fury like a divorcee scorned

Jack seeks immortality because he fears death and though it is never outright stated like it was with Jack this scene tells us why Barbossa seeks the same thing:

Storm Coast: underground

This zone is of interest to dwarves due to its rich mineral deposits. Before the blights it served as a connection and trading post between several surface nations and Orzammar. It was cut off with the presence of the darkspam.

[This is part of the series “Playing DA like an archaeologist”]

At the north of the Coast we find Daerwin's Mouth, a unique dwarven place. As the codex informs us, this was a port that the Dwarven empire used before the blights. This was a place of trading with Tevinter, and also a place where diplomat meetings were held. When the dwarves sealed it due to the darkspawn presence, this place began to be used by smugglers, bandits, and pirates.

Inside we find a lot of dwarvish elements that were supposed to be cargo for trading.

We also find this mark which is symbols of the Felicisima Armada, also called the Raiders of the Waking Sea, and in DAI, the blind men , smugglers who sell slaves to Tevinter.

As we see, the place is used by Red Templars. The corridors of Daerwin are now infected with red lyrium.

Infected dwarven sarcophagus.

The buildings inside are used as storage or offices for the Red Templars

We can see a lot of curious elements being smuggled as well as eastern eggs [the same guys that were petrified in the Mark of Assassin in DA2 are being smuggled as art? lol]

I found a curious turtle element in this place that I have no idea to what group associate with. But it’s cute.

What called my attention is the shape of the head. In Hissing Wastes as well as the Frostback mountains and inside Coracavus, we find colouss statues with a head shape very similar to this one.

We also see that these openings to the sky may have been very violent for dwarves, considering how much of the sky you can see from here.

Reacting to live action AtLA - ep 8

Spoilers warning, for the final time.

Okay, fresh off my extreme dislike at episode 7's choice to have Aang not support Katara (seriously, I will hold onto that grudge with a fierceness that would put OG Katara to shame even. Worst change of the entire season for me.) I'm still grumpy, but I won't have time to watch tomorrow, so I just wanna get it over with. They have a lot to make up to me. :P

Okay.. finally we get to see them fight together. Bout dang time. Where was THIS for the past 7 episodes? This is what we needed for Team Avatar-building.

Katara leading the other women.. I can deal with this change too. And she got given charge of the newbie recruits too. Again, I can do this.

The Ice Moon? Okay new plot twist. Let's see if you're passable or lame.

Lion turtle mention alert.

MOMO! I swear to goodness, this is the worst. Also, I knew the Oasis would look gorgeous in live action. Okay, he's better but I'm still not okay with that happening in the first place. :( Dirty trick.

So.. not gonna have Iroh threaten/disagree with Zhao?

Nice little icy straight jacket, though I'm ticked that apparently Zuko in this version can immediately bust out. Meh. I enjoyed the idea from the first of her having the upper hand for a while the moon was out.

Zhao calling out Ozai and his stupid games. Finally Iroh at least telling him he'll unleash on him.. though he didn't bother to try and actually DO anything yet. Yeah, there it is, finally!

This fight.. oof. It's intense. And it's nice to have a version where we don't have to hate Hahn. lol

YES, time for Aang as Koi-zilla. Kick some Zhao (and other fire nation) butt, Koizilla.

Ha, yes, firebending duel on a bridge. Way to not draw attention to yourselves from the fish giant that's utterly pissed at firebenders. I do enjoy the aangsty discourse though.

Hold up. Iroh took Zhao out, not the ocean spirit? I mean, I guess it's busy with the armada, but still. I liked it getting to mete out the justice for its pair.

Man, these poor water tribe siblings.. Sokka watching his girlfriend turn into the moon, Katara begging Aang to come back..

This does give a bit more of a reason/transition for Pakku to change his mind on training women, better than "well, you're my old girlfriend's daughter." I'm still unclear on how Katara was deemed a master as she got literally zero training in this version.

Azula taking over Omashu, getting word that the comet is "soon".. and done.

Okay, this episode didn't make me near as stabby as the last (though they really didn't have to mess with Momo like that.) The fight was intense, but all the fight scenes have looked pretty good so I expected that. While I loved that Katara was declared a master, I still don't see how since she didn't get any teaching at all. And overall it seems an absolutely bizarre choice for Aang to not bend any water in the water book.

I dunno, mostly I'm glad to be done, okay with having watched it, and absolutely thrilled that the animated version is still there. I will probably start up a rewatch of that soon as a nice palate cleanser. LOL My thoughts on this haven't changed since halfway through - if I had seen just this live-action I might have enjoyed it more as I wouldn't know what I was missing, it would have been a show that I completed.. but it wouldn't have spurred me on to need "more" (hunting out others to obsess with, looking up fanfic, etc) the way the original did. The characters in this got better/more interesting, but took like 7 episodes to do so.. and that's entirely too long in an 8-episode season. And even by the end they weren't as engaging as their animated counterparts (NOT a commentary on the actors.. the scenes where they were given emotional dialogue, they did well. Just.. well there was a ton of splitting them up or sort of flat writing sometimes. Can't do much with that.)

ok so I was making a fake scenario in my head and accidentally made up a Crossover where TMNT, Tales of Arcadia gang and Transformers accidentally meet while trying to fight or idk but I’m just thinking they meet in some alley way after trying to hide away from the public

Like, they just fought off sum evil ppl and people come to the spot where they fought off and they run to hide somewhere and they just see eachother and they’re gonna be just like "OH HEY! THIS IS A COSPLAY! YEAH WE WERE JUST DOING OUR NORMAL HUMAN THING" expect the transformers who just say "it’s a illusion it’s in yo head" smt like that and yeah

Also It’s transformers armada, the teenage mutant turtles movie just right after they defeated krang and got Leo w/ them and where trollmarket haven’t got taken over n Vendel is still alive just like probabavvabably it’s a few episodes in the series and yeah

I bet that both Donnie and red alert would talk about technology while Donnie ask questions abt it and show off his inventions to him and both of the gangs. I mean both of them. I mean Donnie would yk show his mystic power and show his mystic guns?? In the movie or something simple like probably "hey I’ll show u a purple gun rq here 🔫" and red alert would tell him to stOp before he accidentally shoots and leave the base with a hole

Then we have Leo with Hotshot/Sideswipe or Jetfire and the wingman’s (if u don’t know it’s Toby n Arrrrgh ehe) They all would probably talk and show off how superior r they. Probably Leonardo would show his mystic power and make a portal while Toby just show how daMn light or heavy is the mf hammer but at some point Jim comes in with the sword of daylight and accidentally attracts Leo and Jetfire w/ the bro bots wouldddd probably show off their blasting or aiming skills and Hotshot would ask Jolt to get his aft here so they can superlink together and show off the cannons

Blinky would ask Optimus abt transformers history and sometimes cut him off to say abt of troll history or Vendel would also talk to scavenger abt the transformers war or smt plus Draal with Blurr they would probably exchange tactics or smt more of battling?? But it’s only probably serious things

Ah yes then we the humans with their size robots and another human with a teleporting dogcAt? and a Wizard with a chef boy with a magical sword. They all would probably talk abt their friends first before themselves but I bet Jim would talk how a mf oldass Wizard made a amulet and choose people to give trauma until they die and sometimes Claire would cut in to say abt Morgana and how she stole her damn wand thing

The tf humans talks how they found the transformers and still blames themselves how they accidentally start a war again and stills feel guilt abt it, they hug their robot friends or hold their hands while talking abt them and they hold their hand back

April would be last bc she is busy on the phone until they say "what about u??" and basically talks how dum r the turtles before she talked how they found Mayhem and hidden city and how Donnie fucked them up into jail bc of science and moogic and says how a evil mutant lives on top of her apartment and made the evil mutant work as a lunch lady and basically works a lot but always gets fired yk

The turtles basically says that they were made by the evil mutant that April mentioned but they’re dad is a rat but he was human and was a actor and knows how to beat mutant asses

Basically that’s what I have and it’s a first time I made this so bye🏃🏼‍♀️

The people of Plymouth woke to a scene on the city’s Armada Way that looked very much like a landscape ravaged by war, trees felled and uprooted as if by artillery shells. And the shocking part was that the felling of more than 100 trees was plotted in secrecy and executed at night by the very people who are meant to love their city, protect its environment, and honour the wellbeing and wishes of its inhabitants – the local council.

The trees are gone and all the council’s pleading about mitigation, modernisation and bringing growth to the city will do nothing for the loss of habitat or to the unspoken daily pleasure that thousands upon thousands of people will have taken from the changing seasons in Armada Way. More than 16,000 people signed a petition to save the trees. They might as well not have bothered. The Conservative council leader, Richard Bingley, and his party were plainly always going to ignore them.

It is a familiar pattern. In a report by Sir Mark Lowcock into the mass felling of Sheffield’s street trees published this month, he reveals how the clueless misunderstanding of a tree survey led to a years-long battle between Sheffield city council and residents who were desperate to save 17,500 trees that meant so much to them. Between 2016 and 2018, there were 40 protests and 41 arrests. The Labour council lied, deceived the high court, considered killing trees by ring barking and descended to a place where only its chopping down trees and its lunatic need to prevail mattered.

In Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, a beautiful line of limes was recently taken down for a road expansion scheme. Euston Square, in London, has just lost its plane trees to HS2, which, by the way, is responsible for an appalling toll of mature trees, particularly oak, across the land.

Trees are landmarks filled with meaning and connect people to the seasons and nature in ways that are rarely grasped by men such as Bingley, who, to be candid, probably can’t tell his ash from his elbow.

Arguments of necessity, whether for road schemes, health and safety or new homes, always win. But we’ve surely reached the point where the need for trees cannot be dismissed as mere sentiment. As David Attenborough’s current Wild Isles series reminds us, nature is in crisis. Flying insects have fallen by as much as 60% in the UK in 20 years.

The bird population is in catastrophic decline, with some species suffering losses of 70% to 95% across the past 50 years (sparrow, corn bunting, willow tit, spotted flycatcher, starling and turtle dove). In 20 years, the number of species on my bird feeders is down by between 50% and 60%.

The crisis is happening in real time, in front of our eyes. We need much stronger controls on tree felling and mechanisms to ensure that city dwellers can properly defend their trees when they feel minded. Trees should be given the listed status of archaeological sites and beautiful buildings, and this should be inviolate.
