Okay Me

As a follow-up to my last post, I just thought I'd share that i did plan to do a platonic PB Valentines Day fic. Unless the creative juices really start flowing, that probably won't happen... so just imagine that I wrote a really great fic.

language barrier au of sorts

inspired by the tweets below, although i forgot the prompt and i lost steam halfway but i blame it on it being 5am

im so normal abt sibling relationships in media i swear

Weekly Fanfic Rec

-these are fics that I've read this week, not ones that were posted this week

-could be from any fandom, but obviously will be ones I'm in

-all from ao3, since that's my only platform

-it will only be fics that I've finished reading (if I finish a fic one week then it will be put in that week and not the week I started it)

*unless it is a WIP. Then I will go off of most recent chapter

'YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE MEANS (and it's killing me)'

Author: Writing_in_Denial

Fandom: Teenage Murant Ninja Turtles (2012)

Ship: Gen, Michelangelo & Leonardo & Donatello & Raphael

Rated: Mature

Description:

"Finally, they could try and regain their lost childhood, to be a family again.

Except…

His family didn’t feel like family anymore.

Michelangelo knew that logically, friends often drifted apart—changed directions in their lives. Though he always expected family to stay. To have a bond stronger than the forces of nature, impossible to sever. They always came back in the end, didn’t they? No matter what happened.

Turns out….he was wrong because his brothers left him too."

Or: Michelangelo's brothers deal with their grief and trauma in different ways after the loss of Splinter finally settles in, eventually, they all leave in one way or another-- only he remains. It doesn't help that something is lurking in New York.

What will it take to bring his brothers home?

idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this

in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod's favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, "vocal chords", was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they're inspiring enough to trigger a whole month's worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of "apples" that didn't make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you'd like to take part in it!

if you have any questions, please check out the faq before sending an ask, or skim the blog's previously asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.

please note: notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form released towards the end of febuwhump, and if you are interested in joining the febuwhmp discord server, the link will be available to do so for one week towards the end of january.
