@kuruzakame​ | ‘ i’m a big fan of anything that will help me chill the fuck out. ’

“bro, you ‘n me both.” 

she’s not going to mention the fact she’s on her third iced coffee, and the caffeine has still refused to even touch her anxiety. for once, it seems as though her adhd has decided to ignore its usual reaction to caffeine and focus solely on the fact she is vibrating at a speed to shatter glass. it’s fine. she’s fine. fuck this noise.

“if this doesn’t work, i am just going to run head-first into rocksteady in the hopes that he’ll knock me out with his fist.”

[kuruzakame]

“Even t’ me that don’t sound like the best plan for calmin’ down.” Not that he’d object to a fight, but running straight into the rhino’s fist was likely to lead to a far more permanent ‘chill’. On the other hand, who was he to say she shouldn’t?

“Maybe somethin’ a lil lower key? A run, throwin’ shit at Mikey. Not potentially gettin’ yourself concussed.” God, getting older has made him boring. This just can’t be allowed to stand. “Pretty sure I saw some Purple Dragons down near Central Park if ye’d prefer to burn off the energy kickin’ ass instead.”

[kuruzakame]

These character renders by Raf Grassetti are absolutely gorgeous. I’m loving them and can’t wait to see Mikey as well.

[techniicality]

A special delivery for Nico.

“Oh, yes! You’re the best!”

[kuruzakame]

He’s well aware, but it never hurts to hear it again.

“Jus’ don’t tell the others, or they’ll want some too.”

Donnie: Wooohoooooo!

TMNT 2016

@kuruzakame

Okay, so I’ve actually thought about this quite a bit

And tumblr ate my first attempt to post this

So, a couple of things:

This sounds so dirty out of context, like omg Donnie

We know his shell had cracks in it before the first movie, then Shredder nearly kills Raphael by cracking his shell leaving Raph badly hurt.

Which leads me to:

Turtles rib/spine are usually fused with their shell. There is a very good chance that the bay!boys’ are at least partly fused with theirs as well. So Shredder likely came close to breaking Raph’s spine in that scene.

The boys are likely calcium deficient given their size and amount of bone-armour present.

Which makes me think:

Those cracks are probably barely or badly healed, since there’s constant wear and tear on his shell and little access to proper nutrition.

Hitting that water shell first probably stresses those fractures excessively, as does being used as a makeshift surfboard.

It feels like someone is cracking his shell again I imagine. So he’s in a lot of pain.

Bay!Don is more into software/tech than he is medicine, he likely doesn’t realize quite how much it hurts.

Raph sure as shit isn’t going to tell his brother. Not when it makes his brother happy.

Never back Down

@saiofred​

The roar of the crowd rings in his ears, deafening him. The sun is hot, baking the sand under his feet as he faces off against his opponent. He shifts his grip on his sais and charges as the crowd screams.

Later, in the prep rooms under the stadium, Raphael is cockily jeering and shoulder checking his opponent. It’s loud and crowded, and Raph excuses himself, when he catches a glimpse of a shell in the doorway.

“’Fae! Hey, get any interesting poses from today’s matches?” The brawny gladiator throws an arm ‘round his twin’s shoulder, grinning happily. “Didja see that shoulder throw I used on Haruto?”

[saiofred-deactivated20190929]

“Ya bet I did big bro!” He was grinning, only to let out a “H-Hey!” When Raph threw an arm around. “Careful or ya will ruin it!” Not that he think Raph would unless he got a bit too rough. 

“It was amazing! I just to capture it!” Breaking free from Raphael’s grip to hold up one of his masterpieces for the day. The luck of the sun being hot as hell meant that his paintings could dry rapidly, it was more of a struggle trying to protect his pieces from dust and sand flying everywhere. 

“Wh-What do ya think?” Everything was accurate and on point, the details of the twos armour, expressions as well as any other extra detail that an ordinary artist would leave out. Amazing considering how the action only lasted for a few moments. 

[kuruzakame]

He doesn’t let go, though he does loosen his grip a little. “Sorry, sorry. I’ll be careful.” He steers the two of them away from the noisy prep room and all the gladiators jockeying within. 

Raph takes his eyes off the corridor ahead to look at his twin’s interpretation of his most recent battle. “Damn, I look great.” He chuckles, squeezing his brother’s shoulder. “It looks great Raffae, excellent job as usual.” Still, he’s chivying his brother along, eager to enjoy what little bit of the day is left, now his bouts are over.

“With talent like yours, dinner’s on you tonight, right?” The late afternoon sunlight, blinds him for just a moment and he lets go of Raffae to shield his eyes.

$1,690 (technically 1,689.61, according to my last report).

That’s how much I have left to pay to debt collectors for the rest of my missing college tuition. So far I’ve been working tirelessly to cut it down from $3,111 by just making payments of $100-$125 a month, and I’m barely halfway there. I’ve been at this for over a year now. A ridiculously bad day at work, and having my hours cut recently, to the point where I had 5 days off in a row, has really pushed all of my buttons today, so I want to express the absolute need I have for making these commissions to help me make my payments on time, while I look around for a second job, potentially. If I’m lucky, I might find another full time job that I can replace my current one with.

Because I make my payments through a debt collectors office, I am not allowed to miss a single payment, even by a day, or else I’ll be given a court order. I have to make these payments by the 25th of every month on the dot, or anytime before that. It’s extremely stressful, when I have other needs I have to pay for, which includes taking care of my emotional therapy cat. Even now I’ve had to skip out on buying her a new scratching post like I’ve had to, because I needed to save my money to move into a new home with a friend of mine. I’ll be paying rent there, which means I’ll need every penny I can get, on top of making sure I pay off my monthly payments to the collectors. Literally as soon as this stupid college debt is paid off? I will have SO much more freedom with my money, and can put all of my focus into paying rent, and just simply living.

I’m not asking for donations of any kind, I don’t handle gifts well because I feel highly undeserving of such charity.. but if you’d like to commission me, I’d appreciate it more than I can put into words. 

Commission info can be found here.

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

[xeppeli]

[tunnaa-unnaa]

Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all. Some equally balanced wild colorations include

Pygmy Falcon

Great Hornbill

Wallcreeper

and

Black-throated Loon

[xeppeli]

this is a good addition to this post. thank you for this birds educations

[fuckingconversations]

I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:

Cedar Waxwing

Red Crowned Crane

Brahminy Kite

Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.) 

Bali Mynah

And, last but certainly not least, the cutest fucking puffball on this planet earth:

The Korean Crow-Tit

[ohthisismuchworse]

I’d also like to contribute some pretty awesome birds

Hooded Pitta (or as like to call them little olives)

Coua

Mot-Mot

The Blue Crown Pigeon (the biggest pigeon)

I’m fond of the Golden Breasted Starling,

the Golden Pheasant,

and the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher.

[sinnersandtragicians]

Allow me to share some of the most beautiful birds from the southern parts of Africa where I lived for a long time.

Introducing the Purple-crested Turaco (the rest of the Turaco family all.have similarly striking red wingtips in flight, although their bodies are much greener and they have white eyestripes)

Sticking with the purple theme, and similar to some of the birds above, the iridescent Violet-backed Starling is next!

Amazing camouflage and a hauntingly beautiful call, the Diederiks Cuckoo is one of the prettiest patchwork birds out there.

Proudly representing Angola, the Angola Pitta is a rare and elusive bird. It is however worth the search!

Next up, we have the beautiful (and tiny) Violet-eared Waxbill.

And my personal favourite (and national board of Kenya!): The Lilac-breasted Roller.

Look! Aren’t they so beautiful?

I love them so much!!!

Some of the beautiful birds in Southern Africa!

i just can’t stop making ocs. i love designing characters lol. this is zaatyr, a former prince on his planet. he left his planet after his brother was crowned as king (note: he and his brother, king broak, are on good terms). zaatyr had nothing left on his world and grew tired of the pampered royal life. he had already been dabbling with illegal.. ‘stuff’.. throughout his youth. it was only after his brother’s coronation that he officially joined the hellion of the stars, taking up the role as a ship raider. zaatyr has a loud and rowdy personality, but is not cruel. he can be overwhelming when he’s excited, but is a good guy at heart.

"Waph!" The little Raffae giggled as he ran-Well attempted to run up to his twin. Giving him a tap as he zoomed past. "Tag!" Only to promptly ran into something.

"Woah!" The elder half of the twins barely managed to get hands under the other's shell before he hit the ground.

"Careful 'fae, coulda got hurt." Carefully setting his brother back on his feet, Raph grinned mischievously. "Aaaaaand also- Boop!" Gently tapping Raffae on the beak, Raph skittered back out of reach.

Back offline for a bit

Hey, so while I’ve not been very active here or my other blogs the last few weeks/months, I have to say unfortunately that activity is about to be even less.

The issue with my laptop power I thought had been fixed is apparently not. So I’ll be stuck to mobile for the next week or two. Other than the occasional quick comment on the dash I’m unlikely to be here. I apologize for those that are still waiting for replies I owe. I will get to them as soon as I possibly can. Thanks for your patience.

[kuruzakame]

“Not that bad?” His response was almost immediate compared to his hesitance earlier. A laughter escaping his lips though it wasn’t a laugh if someone had made you happy by telling a joke. It was more of a laughter of disbelief. “Not that bad?!” Needless to say Sachiko’s attempts to stop Raffae storming forward towards his brother failed, simply avoiding her outstretched leg.

“Have ya forgotten what he did to Donnie?! To Mikey and the others!?” Starting to raise his voice, teeth starting to grit. Was his brother sleeping throughout the whole thing or something?! Clenching his fists tightly as he stared Raph down. “That bastard almost killed ‘em! Hell when we found Mikey I-” His gaze finally broke away, biting down on his tongue as words got caught in his throat. That image alone was enough to make him feel ill at the thought. 

It was when Sachiko whined and pawed at his leg again that he spoke up again. This time an apology to her, forgetting she would feel his pain. Stroking her head lightly-If one could call it lightly, Raffae certainly wasn’t in the best of moods and it showed. “He betrayed us Raph….He betrayed our family and most of all he betrayed you!-Was him beating the shit outta ya when he wasn’t getting what he wanted not enough?!”

That had definitely been the wrong thing to say. It’s rare, to see his brother rage like this. And honestly it immobilizes them in shock, flight and fight giving way freeze in the face of that burning rage. “I-!”

He remembers very well what Slash did, in vivid detail, more nights than he cares to remember. “Of course I remember! How could I forget? He was my pet, my friend. And he-!” Had nearly murdered everyone Raphael loved in a fit... Rage? Jealousy? Possessiveness. Because for a while there, Slash had seen him as the pet. The possession.

 “He’s changed though, you’ve seen that. He’s trying to protect New York just like us. He did some bad stuff, but.... He’s sorry for it, I’m sure.” There’s a sinking sensation as he realizes that Slash has never actually apologized to them for what’s happened. Has never really tried to make amends. Not to anyone besides Leo of all people, the one that had suffered the least during that whole incident.

@hxnourbound cont from: X

 “Yeah, ‘s late, sorry. It’s a ‘thanks’, for y’know. Halloween.” Raph can’t quite meet the smaller’s eyes. He’s never really given anyone besides his family any of his knitting. 

 “I mean, yeah. ‘s no big deal.” The tail waggle was fucking adorable. How the hell did someone that looked like a Leo get that cute? No, focus Raph. “Your brother said blues were your fave, but I thought it might be, y’know. lil cliche. So, teal.”
