Im going to donate 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓶𝓪 and my 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓶𝓪 is going to be 𝓲𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮 of someone 🥵
So I read through the main running of Hellboy, in omnibus 1-4, and let me just say wow that was so sad.
In essence, its a doomed-by-the-narrative type tragedy. It tells you over and over exactly what is going to happen, but it somehow tricks you into having hope, just like HB, that he can change his fate and avoid the inevitable.
But thats what the story is about- the inevitable. The world is going to end and he’s going to end it, whether he wants to or not. He is granted a minor mercy by having the world he ends be hell, but its an empty victory. You see him resist it through the entire story and slowly lose hope, becoming more tired, and you lose hope with him.
The entire time reading it, I was begging for HB to catch some sort of break- to have something good happen to him. In the end, him accepting his fate and ending everything almost felt like a mercy, like he finally done with it and could rest.
Anywho, Mignola is an amazing writer and I will never be okay again.
please no halloween posts just yet. there’s still 2 months left
Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends
He really puts the “reptile” into “amphibious reptile” 🐢
It was supposed to be a sketch in an hour, but I drew it in an hour and a half, so it’s not a sketch anymore🙄
HELLO TMNT FANS! i bring you a list of turtles that can be found in New York! (mostly native species)
The Blanding's turtle!
these guys are actually considered a threatened species :( the bright yellow neck and chin are very pretty!
The Diamondback Terrapin!
these guys are super pretty with their intricate shell patterns and light coloration!
The Wood Turtle!
these guys are considered to be some of the smartest turtles! and (partially) get their name from the fact that their shell looks like it’s made of wood!
The Spotted Turtle!
these guys are super cute! you might recognize this guy if you’re a fan of @sharkfinn ‘s little brother AU!
The Bog Turtle!
these guys are the smallest species of turtle in North America and are also endangered :(
The Map Turtle!
A few species of these guys have spikes along the back of their shell that makes them look pretty cool!
The Musk Turtle!
these guys are also called the stinkpot turtle and get their names because they make a gross smell when they’re upset
The Mud Turtle!
these guys are only found on the Long Island because they’re endangered (a lot of these guys are endangered and that makes me very sad)
The Atlantic Ridley Turtle!
yet another endangered turtle these guys are some of the rarest marine turtles
The Leatherback Sea Turtle!
these guys are the biggest turtles sometimes getting up to 6 feet long!
The Loggerhead Sea Turtle!
when these guys are babies they have spikes along their shell but those go away as they age
The Painted Turtle!
these guys get their name from the bright British orange pattern on their plastron! I think they look very pretty
these aren’t all of the turtles that can be found in New York just the ones that I find interesting and neat looking! I would recommend doing research on some of these species They are very interesting! here is a source with a list of all of the turtles that can be found in New York and a bit of information on some of them!
IS THAT THE SKYRIM BEAR NOISE??
Ah yes. Bear Roar.mp4 my favorite mutant turtle noise

The end of online privacy
Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account, but I have more followers on here than main.
This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.
I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.
If this shit passes, lemme tell you...
LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,
people looking for abortions,
people organizing protests,
anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices,
even FAN ARTISTS...
Even people reading fan fiction...
And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...
It's all gone. No privacy.
They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.
You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.
Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍
Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.
I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.
I'm shy, but I did it!
Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.
Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.
Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.
(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)
STAY SAFE!

Ok, I've seen this sentiment before, but the amount of Kindle Unlimited ads I've been seeing is forcing me to repeat it-
Kindle Unlimited is offering two free months of unlimited ebooks. As a trial. Which will then become a paid subscription.
Your local library is offering unlimited ebooks all the time. Forever. No contracts, no predatory practices, no tracking of how long you spend on each particular page in the hopes that information about your habits can be sold for a profit.
Use your library. They want so badly to give you all of the things for free.
Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

headcanon that a lot of Kid’s notoriety for not being the most…….. civilian-conscious supernova is bc when he summons metal to him it goes pretty much in a straight line and if there happens to be a person in the way that’s Not His Fucking Problem
