"I'm the trecherous, lecherous chorus girl with her bright red lipstick that bleeds over everything, and her bright red fingernails and her scarlet heart, sexy, rapacious, deceitful. Vulgar as hell."

Angela Carter (7 May 1940 – 16 February 1992)
"There's an aroma in the area we can't get rid of, no matter what we try. At first we thought it was the drains. We never touch cabbage, ourselves, not now we're grown up. I couldn't look a cabbage in the eye after what Grandma did to them. Boiled them to perdition. The abattoir is kinder to a cow."

Stiles, watching Derek train: Goddamn, that man is unbelievable.
Lydia, filing her nails: What did I tell you about comparing yourself to other men?
Stiles: You misunderstand. The only thing I'm comparing is the space between his legs and how well I'll fit.

RAT SONS AU
in which Master Splinter is a wise and silly old tortoise, and father of four skittering, chaotic, ninja rat children. <3
(inspired by that one background moment of the 03 series! 🐢🐀🐀🐀🐀)
there will be lots of similar plot points as the 03 series (like 'tales of leo' and 'good genes' etc etc) but there are also a lot of fundamental changes in the foundation of things too — like the guardians and ninja tribunal and the hamato family line etc etc. content wise tbh its probably mostly just gonna be snapshots of random moments throughout the boys lives, but i do kinda have some plot concepts? so we'll see 👀
(embarrassingly long) introduction under the cut if u'd like to read!
——————————————
Years ago, Oroku Saki defeated Hamato Tang Shen in battle, and finally brought an end to the family that would deny him his power. He ordered her homestead be razed to the ground, and all mystic artifacts to be delivered to him. Particularly, the Hamato’s prized pet tortoise, which was rumored to be itself a conduit for the family’s legendary mystic abilities. With the creature in his possession, along with the new rapid-enhancement chemical he commissioned from laboratory familiar with mystic properties in New York — at last, he would be granted his godhood, and guarantee the legacy of his fathers clan. The Hamatos could deny him no longer. He had won.
Or he would have, had the fools at the lab not ruined everything, the precious mutagen spilling all over the tortoises crate and the fool handlers who carried it. The contaminated men morphed into horrific, animalistic monsters, attacking the scientists and wrecking the laboratory itself. And, most crucially, in the ensuing madness, the crate which contained the tortoise, his last possible connection to the Hamato’s power, lay shattered, and empty…
Meanwhile, Hamato “Splinter” Yoshi, who until this point had quite enjoyed his extended existence as a simple tortoise and family pet, found himself fleeing the eyes and hands of the man who killed his human family, and the lab that granted him this new shift in consciousness, to instead face the terrifying chaos of the streets and alleys of NYC. His transformation into something more bipedal had hurt considerably and left him aching and disoriented, but still he could not pause. He could not falter. Not until he found somewhere safe to hide himself and the four squirming, impossibly small rat-pups in his arms. He hoped the chemical that washed over them had not warped and hurt their young bones as it had his own. He hoped he could find somewhere safe to care for them. He hoped they could survive the night without their mother. He hoped, he prayed he could protect these precious, squeaking, peach-fuzzed ruminants of his family. He did not think he could survive any more loss.
For now, he would do what he could, and slip into the shadows of this city. Having lived so long among ninjas had its benefits there, at least.

weird how people think nowadays there’s like…a very specific personality type you have to be to be a mother instead of capacity for motherhood being a default trait almost all of the female population possesses. should having a child just be a thing that someone does by default without considering it? no. but also having children is not something your personality makes you fundamentally unsuited for 9/10 times, mothers have all types of personalities, the most important traits for childraising are unselfishness and kindness and everyone should cultivate those in themselves no matter what anyway regardless of whether or not they have children.
this also applies to men but ive never seen anyone say "it’s okay for men not to be fathers because it wouldn’t make any sense to their personality".

the first thing i noticed during anya’s house tour for yor is how well decorated and filled with toys her bedroom was
twilight didn’t have to put that much effort into it. the rest of the apartment is nice, but it’s only as much as he needs to appear “normal”. he could’ve just given anya a bed and a desk for her studies, but he painted the walls and put up decorations. he gave her new toys and knick knacks and books so that nearly every surface was covered in clutter. and there’s a good chance that he chose a lot of those items himself.
when he met her she was stuck in a crowded orphanage and has bounced around several families in a very short period of time. the brief glimpse into her past shows us that she was experimented on by people that didn’t seem to acknowledge her needs as a little kid. and within the first few days of living with twilight anya was kidnapped from what should have been a secure place for her to live. so the next place they go he made sure to provide her with a safe space. he allowed her privacy and never stormed in to scold her, so she had no reason to fear her own room.
twilight might be hard on her when they study, but in every scene where he enters anya’s room we see him soften. it’s when she’s most vulnerable, like when she falls asleep at her desk or bawls over the mangled penguin toy. this is the spot that reminds twilight of his daughter’s age, and it grants him a space to discard his mask and recognize his affection for her.
twilight has no idea how to interact with children, but he needs anya to trust him for the sake of the mission. so he gives her what he hasn’t had since his own childhood: a home.
