modern costume for Lan Zhan and Wei Ying, inspired by some of their (gorgeous holy shit) costumes. Next two are coming~
i thought you guys would find this thread i wrote interesting
Every time I read an adhd post I keep wondering whether I have undiagnosed adhd.

what if the teenage mutant ninja turtles exist in the mcu but they’re just really good at staying under the radar and criminals are too embarrassed to admit they got beat up by some guys in “turtle costumes” so they blame daredevil. peter parker worked as a pizza delivery boy for a while and brought like eight pizzas to a man hole cover but thought nothing of it bc nyc
peter parker: i once was one minute late delivering pizza and the dude was like “forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza”
clint barton: oh cool u met one of the tmnt
literally everyone: who
clint: am i the only one in this goddamn city who knows about the crimefighting turtles that live in the sewers
(they all think clint is playing an elaborate prank on them, especially when he shows them a photo of four guys wearing what are ‘very obviously halloween costumes’)
fun fact: it’s TMNT canon that the chemical container that hit Matt Murdock across the face and gave him his Daredevil abilities is the same canister that landed on the baby turtles and mutated them, so…..y’all aren’t far off
i’m sorry it’s WHAT
TMNT started as a Daredevil parody.
Matt’s teacher is Stick. The turtle’s is Splinter.
Matt’s enemy is the Hand. The turtle’s is the Foot Clan.
It was originally a dark, edgy, turtle themed parody of Daredevil.
Title: Gogh, Thor!
Word Count: 5-6k
Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Rating: Teen and Up
Pairing(s): Steve Rogers / Thor, Darcy Lewis & Thor
Character(s): Thor, Steve Rogers, Darcy Lewis, Natasha Romanov
Tags: College AU, No Powers AU, soft thor, small steve, light angst, Halloween, Halloween Costumes, mentions of controlling parents, first meetings, meet cute, pre-relationship, fluff
Summary:
Thor walks out of the registrar's office at the start of his junior year of college with a smile on his lips and a slip of paper confirming his fifth change of major in just over two years. But this time is different, because it's finally a major of his own choosing.
And with his new, more relaxed schedule, maybe he'll finally have the time to enjoy what remains of his college days. But what shall he do to fill his former 'sobbing hours?' Go to parties? Make new friends? Or maybe work up the courage to talk to the cute guy canvassing in the Quad?
Why not all three?

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.
But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck.
I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.
You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.
You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should. But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.
I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.
And I love it.
Gods I wish I’d had this ten years ago when everyone was pushing for me to do art for a living. Probably wouldn’t have burned out as hard as I did
This.
Look, I followed my passions to culinary school, one of the best in the US. Of a starting class of 400, I was one of 50 to graduate, and I immediately got a job I’d been dying for for years. A few years later, I opened my own small catering company.
And through all of this, slowly but surely, I lost my love of baking. It got crowded out by facebook reviews and how much flour costs and did this person pay me so I can go buy their stupid ingredients? All of it went from something I loved with my whole heart to a *job*. To this day, I still struggle to want to do something I used to love so much. It’s the reason I’ll never study writing, and why I’m unlikely to attempt it professionally- I never want another thing I love and lose myself in to become my *job*.
So I’m back in school, studying something I find interesting. I’m using what I know and the experience I have to carve a niche for myself in my new field. It’s shocking how exciting it is.
So for all of you about to start college, have some unsolicited advice from a not-very-old lady:
Don’t follow your passions, wield them.
Take that thing you love, and let it be part of your life. If possible, apply those skills in your career. But don’t let the thing you love rule you, and certainly don’t let it break you.
OP is right, some people can’t live in their job, and I’m one of them. So now, in my late 20’s, I’m seeking a position where I can leave my work at work, go home, and enjoy cooking again for the first time in years.
Doing what you love is awesome, getting paid to do it is cool, but man, there’s something to be said for doing things for the sheer sake of enjoying them.
I have a graduate degree in illustration that I’ll never use professionally. Wish I’d figured it out before grad school loans but I took a look at the kind of work you have to do to survive (and that’s really all you do) and just said Nah, thanks. Not for me.
But I have family that sighs sadly and tells me I should do something with my art. It’s such a waste of my talent that I’m not using them.
Except I am? I’ve created my best artwork for fandom. My best pieces are for my favorite show. I’ve gotten acclaim from people who work on the show. Most of them have a print of my favorite piece hanging in their office.
I’ve had experiences and opportunities I never would have had because of my art. They’re not a waste because I wasn’t making money.
