im doin TLs!!! & commentary | 
fontech: WHILE I HAVE YOU, do u happen to have a link to the shrine casey made for leo at the shattered spoon thingy
uhhhh i don't think i ever described it explicitly, but its gonna be relevant shortly (casey is takin papa there) so let me confirm what he wrote in the letter day thread about the shroud (i THINK he did i mightve just talked to mey ooc)
then i will write it up
OK ty o/ im gonna have donnie standing at it in my TL for him
JustAshu: LMAO they are BOTH goin over
FALLING NERDS
both of them simultaneously: i can't let him die, casey junior will kill me
basically
only young donnie is right tho, casey jr is cool if he dies but he'll OBLITERATE THE SUN if uncle tello dies again
look if Casey doesn't chew out Tello, Big Leo will.
okay that WILL happen probably
and if not Big Leo, Lil Leo
and maybe Raph
lil leo absolutely
oh lil leo is a guarantee
these feral little monsters are irritatingly protective of each other after everything
on the one hand, being stuck at ADI for months with threats of experimentation is not nearly as bad as the apocalypse
on the other hand
being stuck in a secret govt facility for months alone at threats of experimentation
on the other hand
being stuck in a secret govt facility for months alone at threats of experimentation
will they tell the big counterparts? prob not
the twins: it was horrible being at ADI
interviewer: elaborate on that
the twins: no
interviewer: elaborate on that
the twins: no
oh the thing that was a fear before the apocalypse.
all either of them would have to say is "ADI was government" and Tello would just go "Oooooh, okay"
wow!!! casey would care if donnie died (just not nearly as much and he'd be mostly "ok now i have to be a defense squad bc SOMEONE would try to kill uncle tello, dammit")
and ok i couldn't find it so im just gonna check the spoon shrine thread for the actual colour order if it matters, and then write it from scratch
well don't worry once these geniuses are done being SO STUPID they'll make it to the ground safely so no killings needed
and ok!! ty o/ i'll just be vague abt it in my TL then
everyone give me the strength to skip to the right part instead of re-reading it all bc then it will be 2 hours-
(it;s fine i will skip and then go back surely)
oooh can u link me then i don't mind skipping straight to it
oh!!! JustAshu hey i did a bunch of uncle tello edits if you want them (egg u can have them also if you want i just dont have ashu added ALSO CAN I)
yes grabby hands
i still have a bunch to do im just switching back to tags now lmao
(also not done doing sensei)
The shrine is small, tucked away in an alcove, with ... there thats what it looks like
THANK U
i was gonna have to write it anyway so this is good for future me 
donnie TL done!!! sorey and s'rei (hahaha look at what i've done to myself) will probably have to be tomorrow
hehehehehehehe
imma hit up both hehehe but question! do u want zombie zack here or save it for his TL when i get there
curse you egg, making me feel bad for these turtles.
fontech: mmm i assume the different AUs can't co-exist? unless I'm misunderstanding. like, zack-lives AU will be experienced by both of them at the same time, while zombie zack is also experienced by both of them at the same time. i was just gonna handwave that idk the ribbon for their world got stolen and folded two separate times
JustAshu: curse why. this is bread and butter baybeee
I'm not used to being the one having the feelings! I'm usually inflicting them on others!!!
oh i didnt think about that. hm. maybe i should ask lol
JustAshu: welcome to here where we inflict upon and are inflicted upon in equal measure. i love it here
fontech: yeah maybe 
shit now i don't know.... i thought we were gonna do two diff threads with them. one for happy cute times and then one for PAIN and that's why we were doing two AUs
shit now i don't know.... i thought we were gonna do two diff threads with them. one for happy cute times and then one for PAIN and that's why we were doing two AUs
we can do that! i was just checkin

"I need some pics of this hot ride." "I gotcha." all cloud
he would
(also zack texting sephiroth a photo of the bike like "I GOTTA MOD MINE NOW HE GOT ONE THATS SO MUCH COOLER")
joking, he heckin loves his bike
I'm def not making the bike thing canon dw
i don't usually make tfln stuff game canon just bc it usually exists so far out of the realm of possibility
cloud MIGHT finger bang a cougar in the back of her car for fenrir, tho
fjklasjdf CLOUD
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BIKE??? BACK SEAT FINGERBANG IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
i choose to believe she's a cougar spirit
that's so good that's now the case
she's also 68
comatoseroses: HOW TALL IS RAPH
this is a great question 
time for giant raph truthers to shine uhh
time for giant raph truthers to shine uhh
i put don at 5'3" if it helps
maybe a lil more since he's grown
well over 6 ft for raph seems fair tbh
donnie is just litol. a creature
good for gremlining
2 years in game... if raphs not pushin 6'7 or 8 idk what ive been doing he must be Giant
SCREAM A TALL YET LITTLE BOY
HE'S THE PERFECT HEIGHT
GOOD FOR CLIMBING
GOOD FOR COW HEAD HOLDING
son boy. baby
i like that whenever anything is said that could ever be construed as negative about raph, all of us (including the person who said it) is like HE'S A GOOD AND PERFECT LAD!!!!
raph beloved
because we're right all the time
correct
raph perfect 👌
u get me
i see a turtle do a crime and i dont see it actually 🔪
RAPH HAS NEVER COMMITTED EVEN 1 CRIME
flawless brotherdad
this is, not kidding, one of the most emotionally mature and kind things donnie has done
I'm so proud wipes tear
cad: you can thank your sessions with me for that
don: lmao why
cad: I've been secretly teaching you to communicate your needs and feelings
don:
cad: in our THERAPY SESSIONS
don:
don: lmao why
cad:
I've been secretly teaching you to communicate your needs and feelingsdon:
cad: in our THERAPY SESSIONS
don:
they really are so hopeless lmao
HOPELESS WHY?????
I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD
its good communication wise!
exactly!! they werent doing that before so there was no CHANCE of having any kind of good relationship! but now that they're trying to figure out how to communicate properly, NOW there's hope!! I'm very excited!!!!
i thought casey would have something to go off about but instead hes just kinda deflated so. probably will back off
did you want him to be able to go off?
no im 1000% good with whatever is ic or natural!
o7
i just have to rethink thats all. probably the issue is gonna be donnie is improving at the same time casey is regressing bc suddenly dead family is here and people arent getting along
its all fucking with him so im back to flailing a bit lmao
ftr, so that OUR communication is clear, i do intend to have him eventually be okay with or even sympathize with future leo. it's just real complicated and donnie will likely need to learn some lessons the hard way before he can
fontech: waggles a sorey at casey.......pspspsps
yeah its very understandable. i just dont think theyre at a place where casey can give an explanation donnie can empathize with so its better he doesnt try at this time
and casey is very STOP BEING MAD AT MY DEAD DAD so hes not exactly in a place where he can agree with donnie either
(i DO kinda want him to be able to go off at some point but not when its forced lmao)
oh no that was never gonna happen, with anybody. donnie's too low-empathy to be able to do that; that's why i want to take the sympathy approach and like, idk, have him almost die (or fully die) WITH a brother in FM or smth because that's the ONLY way he will understand
its impossible to brute force empathy on donnie bc he isn't low empathy to be a dick
i mean i didnt expect them to get all touchy feelio about it
what do you mean? /genuine question
im not even sure i know tbh which i recognize is the least helpful answer
hmmm
i think with them i often end up in a place of "this isnt what i expected" but i dont actually know what i expected besides "not that" which is great for heelturn surprises (fun) but not great for consistency in later threads (less fun)
well let me ask this
and idk how to fix that or if it even needs fixing beyond "stop pretending you have expectations that are being subverted" 
sorry im slow on mobile so my thoughts are hella fragmented
the way you're playing him at the time of the thread in question, do you think casey knows donnie is low-empathy, and knows what that means? because i don't mind if he doesn't and if he gets angry at him as a result of not knowing
rp always has that problem where you have to kind of anticipate what the other char will do to a degree....or it makes it easier anyway. so i get what you mean
i think he knows bc hes actively trying to avoid getting into his personal feelings on it, like he stopped himself and refocused. hes trying to give a more logical answer to the choice. donnie understands the value the brothers place in one another, there is logic to leo wanting to be with them over casey, esp with a low chance of survival
if its a matter of donnie understanding (eg saying he gets it) and just fundamentally disagreeing that it was the right choice, then thats that and casey wont want to fight him on that bc he can recognize the pointlessness of it
donnie doesnt have to agree, doesnt have to be nice or even necessarily stay away from sensei. but he wants some kind of civil truce SOMEHOW and hes trying to figure out how to get there
the problem is casey CANT shut himself off emotionally so he struggles to get rhe point across in a way thatll track with donnie esp since he seems angry about the core concept of this conversation (which casey didnt lead well with either)
its in part a failure to match energy which is a common problem for them i think
well, but that logic is still rooted in knowing how LEO would feel. donnie knows the family loves each other as a matter of fact, but he has no idea how much LEO loves them, or casey, or anybody else. how would he know if leo loves his brthrs more than casey unless future leo told him? it still requires being able 2 empathize & imagine, "if i was leo "
i don't think the main problem here is that CASEY is feeling things, necessarily
it does make donnie uncomfortable but that's because he's emotionally stunted, and that's his own fault
the empathy thing is a separate matter
sudden reminder of cad spending like 8 separate spell slots trying to rage-command trent to empathise and it failed every time
sry I'm on mobile too
u good
i think that donnie recognizes that casey is trying to, for lack of a better term, get him to feel sorry for sensei. him redirecting casey and saying "I'm GOING to hurt your feelings" is him (subconsciously) saying he's not going to be able to do that
its a fair warning and one even casey can agree with. which i think is just depressing him more because like. yeah.
because he wants people to like sensei, esp people who might be important to his sensei
that makes sense
and if casey is focused on the sensei thing above all others, it makes sense that he'd only walk away disappointed
he just wants his family to be able to get along and sensei is already going "ill just steer clear bc they dont like me" and casey is trying to be the rope holding both sides of his family together
but he doesnt think donnie likes HIM either so he also knows hes a poor option for resolving this problem. this is his attempt to try anyway
but i am also hopeful that, if not immediately, casey is able to reflect on it later that maybe before, donnie would've just hung up the phone. and maybe casey can feel a little better knowing that he's worth donnie making that effort to be kind, in his own weird way
i would like them to be able to think more positively of one another, in other words
i would like them to be able to think more positively of one another, in other words
donnie is finally getting there, thank god, which has been so nice
and i think that's it there too, is casey things donnie dislikes him, when donnie has been trying to show that he doesn't. it's just missing the mark
them not yelling at each other is (or in theory will be) a good thing ultimately im just not sure what the progress will look like going forward bc casey is in a weird place now 
this is good insight tho ty for prodding my brain into thinking about it, im sorry for always being the problem child 
as long as YOU don't feel discouraged
casey being upset and protective and everything is very very understandable and feels IC and sounds like its fun to play with
and if donnie and casey did have a fight over that, i don't think it would go the same as before
because at least on donnie's side, he understands himself and casey a little better
ngl i do wobble sometimes, there is some jealousy here and there but this sort of thing helps me to self-babysit my own expectations so its chill.
i know you don't like negative CR but just remember how fun guy/asch was, and they were so nasty to each other sometimes
and sometimes i whined then too!! (i think. its been a long time.)
just remember that even if donnie gets 
about casey sometimes, EGG always thinks he is a good sweet boy fun to thread with
about casey sometimes, EGG always thinks he is a good sweet boy fun to thread with
also donnie has like 3 friends and casey has 200 so what does his dumb ass know lmao
probably ideally casey will come to the same conclusion he just reached with leo which is "i have my older version now i can stop pining for the shit i miss" and just roll with whatever they are now
hes already SUPER separated donnie from uncle tello but that doesnt stop him from wanting/missing it
way more than leo and sensei bc they were closer in care level/personality
oof.... that's probably the best thing for him tbh
also a good thing cad is a fuckin pro at separating clients bc im sure theres been a handful of sessions where casey stomps in like THIS BITCH I STG and cads like sips tea, seeing this bitch tomorrow but go on
LMFAO
i want casey to hang out with Sorey and manage to not gripe about donnie tho 
let the lads have fun
let the lads have fun
get up in that inbox 
or wildcard me
or wildcard me
(i joke tho he doesn't complain rly tbh)
cad like, there needs to be 6 more therapists here
more therapists just for these turtles
TBQH
honestly people keep asking him if hes full up and the temptation to say yes is powerful
but his family has been divinely charged by fucking god to HELP so he cannot. he must do the therapy
i WILL hit up sorey tho idk let them play with lightning!!! casey has fuck all going on with the event besides Depression he needs some fun
I'm hold ing this grape up in my hands look at him
this is the same over explaining awkwardness he had/has with peter
fontech: YEAH I STILL NEED TO HIT UP UR TLS ALSO IS IN THE LIST!!!
this one is good its REAL GOOD so juicy nom nom
you know what's interesting actually
i was thinking about this rereading various threads
casey said to sorey that he felt as if donnie dying SHOULD have been penance for what he did, but he couldn't forgive him/feel as if he could be around him/etc
and if donnie knew that he'd actually agree. not like in the exact one to one, "yeah don't forgive me/ feel like you're safe around me" way, but in that he doesn't think him dying was any kind of penance either
in his mind, him dying was because he screwed up. its not like his death fixed anything. he doesn't really believe there's some kind of cosmic balancing scale where if someone who does something wrong suffers, its deserved and absolves them of any mistakes
now that I'm musing, that's probably part of why he hates leo's sacrificial tendencies so much
i think theres a difference between penance and punishment, and the latter is specifically what casey meant. like he didnt die as some sort of apology, but it feels like it SHOULD be easier to stop being angry at him bc he paid a high price for the failure
also a difference between those two and sacrifice. they all have different intentions and results
casey views what happened with donnie and sensei very differently and carries different anger and grief levels for each
uncle tellos sacrifice is also different from senseis but casey can see the weight of each decision and tolerate them differently also
eats the meta w popcorn
where uncle tellos like "i was dying anyway so may as well use my life to do some good and go out with a bang instead of wasting away uselessly"
versus senseis "i was dying anyway and i got casey to safety, i can lay me to rest and be with my brothers, let the next generation live on" which is one part needless sacrifice (casey was already going into the portal he didnt NEED to be covered but leo did stop some krang from following)
and one part let this poor man fuckin rest which. casey can respect even if he hates it a lot. it kinda comes down to how believable it is whether leo could have survived more than a few minutes even if hed gone with
word of creator states he didnt go with casey bc he was too badly injured. that was the thought process of caseys mindscape trial- he tried multiple times to save leo. the only time he made it to the other side? leo died away
the point of that trial, oocly from me, was to let casey process and accept the fact that there was no real way to save leo, so he could stop regretting or resenting having to go alone
this is where casey's life experience with all the different forms of loss deepens his understanding of the nuance involved, too
so now hes in the complicated mental space of going, i shouldnt be mad at him for leaving me bc i didnt have the power to save him and we both knew it, so he was better off dying on THAT side bc he was going to die anyway
yeah. casey has the lifelong experience of NEEDING to accept death bc he had no choice. you accept it and move on bc theres no space to fall apart about it
esp with uncle tello gone, its not like casey or anyone else was capable of doing the ninpo soul transfer like with raph
casey is also a year into getting actual, proper grief counselling
not to mention that this kind of grief and trauma usually wouldn't GET healed
it shaped his development as a person!! he GREW UP with this
yeah he is just kinda fundamentally fucked as far as anything normal goes. hes catching up on literally everything still
its very interesting to study as a writer
when it comes to donnie he kinda straddles the line (poorly) of what to say based on historically: a lot of the time he recognizes that donnie doesnt really care that much about a lot of the stuff he has to say. which is fair! he doesnt have to. but he offers his perspective or his explanations are based a lot on feelings and donnie doesnt jive with it
so casey is like i could tell you whats hurtful or how i feel or why i feel and think the things i do but if i share out of a desire to understand and you cant understand bc of low empathy or bc you dont HAVE to care about me then what is the point
yeaaahhh ya boy def need to continue working on practicing sympathy
ya boy def need to continue working on practicing sympathy
and he kinda needs to reshape how he explains himself and hes bad at that?
the fact that the sympathy vs empathy post showed up again on my dash THIS MORNING is cosmic
probably not helped that the Donnie he grew up with is so different from the Donnie he's got now. Casey got a Donnie who was basically suppressing who he is for the sake of everyone around him, but teen Donnie doesn't have that weight on him. so he's just pure Donatello, no filters.
for example, if they were closer and he had any potential/confidence in getting understanding out of just outright going "sometimes pstd and depression comes with the suicide feels and getting mad about it does NOT help, i understand senseis feelings HINT FUCKING HINT" (except like phrased better)
NO HINTING
but they arent that close and he doesn't think hed get a good response and a bad response to someone with ptsd re: suicidal thoughts can make everything SO MUCH WORSE
so hes basically like dont fuckin talk to me or my dad about this ever again
well
and yeah his expectations have been really flipped around bc he had to adjust to a donnie who doesnt really seem to care about him or think of him as family and thats just not something he has any memory of, bc he was too young to remember the adjustment period
and that's also why donnie said "do you really want to talk to me about this" because even if he doesn't understand, he KNOWS its a minefield for casey. he was there for the panic attack and that was enough for donnie to realize there is some Very Heavy Shit in that teen
does casey think donnie saying that is donnie saying "i don't care how you feel so I'm going to be mean"?
the panic attack also happened pretty early in lmao i think he was maybe a month or so away from his timeline at that point
or is casey just aware these are sensitive topics for him and he's aggressively protecting them from an unknown factor?
no i dont think casey believes hes intentionally mean to him. but he doesnt really think donnie cares about him so there is a likelihood that indifference will mean a lack of care can come across as mean as a result
he does recognize that bc of how things have gone so far, hes not meant to EXPECT donnie to care about him. they havent formed a bond to make it apparent
before, he struggled with that more bc hes always had a donnie who cared about him (in his memory)
i wonder if there's someone who can at least reassure casey that if don truly didn't care at all, he wouldn't be trying 🤔 bc it seems like a lot of issues that crop up are because casey assumes donnie gives no shit about him right now (which is a safe assumption given the kidnapping, but wasn't the case then either), which means he doesn't want to risk-
- being open because he's afraid of don being cruel, which means they don't get a chance to communicate clearly
it could just mean donnie needs to continue making that effort
until it sinks in or becomes obvious
i think rn hes like... figuring out how that process of bonding actually goes, trying to avoid being too emotionally vulnerable bc that hasn't helped either of them so far. but hes an emotionally charged person so its hard for him to NOT be emotional or open about those things
yeah they are DIRECT opposites in that regard
but i know you get antsy if things are in limbo or take too long, so I'm wondering if there's a way to speed things up
idk if this would help at all but most of the time it seems like casey is the one reaching out or approaching donnie first, i really think they could use an avenue where donnie shows some indication of like.... why he IS trying, or that he sees a benefit to them associating... idk
hmmm
i have to think about the response to this tag bc i have a few ideas that could be fun or useful but which casey would go with is hmm
I'll think on things
like whenever donnie decides to get a project going is he gonna do it solo or actually remember and hit up casey like HEY CMERE LAB ASSISTANT
donnie doesn't reach out often even to family (which is another shortcoming of his) but if he has to make a concerted effort, I'll need to come up with some ideas of what that looks like
no he will def hit up casey but he hasn't been back in his lab yet. he's got hangups
if casey does dump battle shell materials at his door also, he'd probably hit casey up for that too
oh ty for the reminder he was gonna do that. ill have to think about when. maybe when things settle a bit since a lot is going on lol
So Much is going on
i think logically casey can see its not uncommon for donnie to not hit up most other people, but its hard to icly justify him hitting donnie up to hang when he has so many people he would have a much nicer time with lmao
oh yeah no
hanging is out of the question
like me i am all HANG WITH DONNIE YOU GOTTA BOND and caseys like ok but leo is 9000% nicer and more fun and april and raph are RIGHT THERE and i have a boyfriend
and im like yeah ok fair point
but thats another thing anyway; i assume the majority of hanging casey did with uncle tello was when he was working in his lab, esp to start
so if donnie isn't in his lab......whats there to do
but casey got years and years of just being around uncle tello and acclimating to his presence where there was, most likely, very few words exchanged. (i say casey got acclimated, its probs more like don is the one who got acclimated)
like introducing cats thru various barriers over time LMAO
i really like the one comic where casey ends up in the lab after losing cass and nonverbal and since hes quiet and doesnt mess with donnies stuff, donnie can ramble about whatever hes doing and casey listens well, over time hes allowed to help with basic stuff and it grew from there
for casey hanging out with donnie IS collabing and working on projects they are the same thing, but they dont even have that rn so things feel in limbo
and they havent had it since casey quit so its been a long limbo lol
true
the comic is really cute too
and we could always handwave them spending time together once donnie is back in the lab, but that feels unsatisfying
and now that uncle tello is here, casey has even less reason to ask donnie for like, advice or expertise on science stuff
really, (segue), i need to figure out a way to get donnie back into the lab
so much of donnie is tied up in the work that he does, so when he got that obssessed and messed things up (including others, and very much himself) THAT badly, i think he probably legit scared himself
for small things like fixing phones or making his gear, he can trust himself with, but for big things? trying new projects? coming up with be ideas? i think he's too scared to attempt
his thread with peter touches on it but he skirted around the topic real quick to avoid looking at it
i was thinking of how to address the uncle tello thing but was waiting on him actually getting in to treat it too seriously lmaooo
like on one hand "you are you not a replacement for my uncle" casey has been working on making that true and established on the other hand "my uncle is here and he actually likes me FUCKIN BYE"
TRUE WE SHOULD PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL HE'S ACTUALLY IN HUH
app is ready, just waiting.
waiting on what they open
ARE THEY???? girl i ain't know nothin going on
..are they? I didn't see a post..
OH THEY SAY CLOSED ill fix after work
its the 24th so they're open
ARE YOU A MOD???? girl i don't know shit abt this game anymore LMAO
I was waiting for the page to say open, like a good apper!
lmfao im an app mod have been for like........ god idk a while.
you can submit i give u permission
we all fell asleep early lmfao should be fixed soon
I'm out so can't just yet. go mobile plurk~
okay fontech YOU! do u want me to tag zack's top level with cloud knowing he's a zombie bc he's from the same AU, or NOT knowing zack's a zombie bc he's normal
IF U HAVE A PREF THEN TELL ME
oh man I DONT HAVE A PREF both could be so juicy
cloud would probably have good reason to be immediately pissy if he knows so if you'd prefer a slow rise of horror/reveal do that
as for what we talked about runedwriting i'm ok to have cloud jump into the seph thread with him on the assumption that cloud DOESN'T know what happened and thinks seph did something
hmmm
i DO like a slow rise to horror.......
/snorts awake
but i can do that later on so you guys get time to play
basically, feel free to harass me when u want cloud to jump in with WHAT DID YOU DO to seph
im good for anything really, sooner, later, it's all good. there's also the potential disaster of outright sending cloud a message when he figures out what's going on
that would be good
cloud would be less inclined to think it's seph's fault but he'd still be like "well DID you do smth"
it'd just be less charged
there's no one else anymore that would be an alternative to contact
very true
well. sharon
lmao. maybe he panics. CLOUD WILL DEAL WITH THIS. oh no cloud will come here. and deal with this. oh no
LMVAOUDSF
"cloud's a hero he'll save zack!" cloud shows up like WHAT DID YOU DO and seph is like " i forgot he hates me"
i forgot he hates me"
cloud meanwhile 
you ruined him, hes full of jenova now
(always was)
you ruined a perfectly good himbo, look at him. he's a puppet
he's an even better himbo now, no brains at all
sephiroth is not taking comfort in the idea that if cloud attacks him this time at least he'll probably have a defender
haha he absolutely would
ALSO THAT FUCKING s'rei tag to alicia IM SOBBING HES SO CUTE WTF
LMNCCFAO HE FEELS A LITTLE BAD FOR THINKING SHE LOOKS LIKE A SIN EATER but yeah he's a peacock thanks for painting him it could come out like Picasso and he'll adore it he loves art
he also thinks she's so sweet
HEHEHE
she adores him already LMAO he reminds her of her brother
ALSO SWEET BABY DONNIE
HE IS BEING TERRITORIAL WHAT IS SWEET ABOUT THAT
OH MY GOD. Tello won't steal ur mom.
oh m ygod. YEAH ALICIA DOES KINDA LOOK LIKE A SIN EATER
JustAshu: HE CAN'T BE SURE!!!!
spacemoth: she does 
cweepy
cweepy
CRACKS KNUCKLES
DONNIE TAGS FIRST
this tello is capable of being nice and has a vague amount of emotional maturity what if mom likes him more
HE'S NOT GOING TO ACTIVELY TRY TO STEAL MOM?
mother has enough love for all, its ok 
NO
RUE CAN ONLY PARENT ONE DONATELLO (as far as donnie is concerned) (at least for now)
he's also going to cassandra's inbox to stake claim on their regular sparring/"punishment" schedule
left kuraudo a message about his boyfriend.
oh my god, meanwhile Tello is like "oh he hates me because of my Role" unaware of the fact Donnie has seen his work and shit.
donnie has IMMERSED himself in tello's work to the point that he's like "yeah i definitely know this guy so well it's like we really are the same person"
shockingly
donnie was projecting and deluding himself
oh Donnie, you are except he's suppressed himself for the sake of his family.
casey may come to deeply regret sharing that intel more than he already does
comatoseroses IMMEDIATELY makes it trauma >
NO
>:]
there
this family is so normal about each other your honor
i am holding donnie in my hands so gently
he is a feral sentient scribble
oh boy
feral goblin child
all donnies are feral lil guys
put 'em in a can and shake 'em
the Donnies are going to maul each other.
good, blood for the blood god
this is why u slow-introduce cats through baby gates and closed doors... the mauling
grips fontech tightly
THEY ARE 
also i came up with sorey's true name for the AU thread
AAAAAA YAY
Thysia Nimic
"thysia" is "sacrifice" in greek, and "nimic" is "nothing" in romanian
so while his name gets translated as "Sorey of the Sacrifice" his NAME sorey is similar to the word for "nothing" (in japanese his name being "surei" and one meaning for the kanji for rei being "zero" or "null"
but another way his name can be understood is "Nothing to be Sacrificed" which is how sorey takes it
he refuses to make sacrifices of others
and that's why he follows mikleo even if he doesn't make a pact with him for a long time, because even if he disagrees iwth mikleo's method, he will NOT let his best friend make a sacrifice of himself
oh my hod i looooove that
i meant god but you know what tales cuss now
THAT SO FUCKIN GOOD THO
I FUCING LOVE COMING UP WITH TRUE NAMES
I LOVE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH
LETS GET SOME FUCKING SQUIRES UP IN FOLKMORE
MIKLEO PRIME LORD NOW
WHAT'S HIS OATH
AUGHUHUHUH I GOTTA THINK BUT IVE BEEN REALLY PONDERING
the trouble is nothings made him worry enough to consider it lmao
time to grow and get worried
if it was sorey hed give up a LOT
OBV WE GOTTA PUT THEM IN A MURDER GAME OR SMTH
hahaha we are too fuckin slow for murdergames gurl
listen 
I am perfectly happy to have them suspiciously easy to track down for cloud. maybe Reunion is pullin' cuz suddenly sephiroth isn't the only major source of cells in folk and they're all just that happy to be in proximity
o7
just for ease of convenience
well it works out too bc cloud having to track them down means he's going to be more suspicious of seph of trying to hide smth
spots zack with jenova eyes without his wings out- time to be feral
if his utterly unchanging routine ever got tracked he's in exile biweekly doing Who Knows What (things he was told not to do)
what is a teenager if not a bundle of rebellion
sometimes u gotta practice being an alien
NO YOU DON'T - cloud probably
hell yea brother -donnie
hell yea brother -donnie
tiny cloud didn't make him feel judged and evil! well maybe a little judged but it was differently
tiny cloud didn't know he was ACTUALLY the guy who was gonna burn down his town and tiny cloud was less 3 years of torture and tiny cloud hadht lost zack yet and tiny- (etc etc)
IRRELEPHANT tiny cloud is the superior: ☁️
I MEAN...... CURRENT CLOUD MIGHT AGREE.....
sephiroth intends to NEVER tell tiny it's actually him
probably a wise choice but sad
actually i wanted to ask u, we should probably figure out roughly how this thing will end
obv they cannot actually find zack
since it is dream share memory thing there's always the option of just waking up
at some convenient point
(and then kiss- I MEAN)
it'll be good practice killing some other hojo
I have some ideas for possible eventual mending some things too but they're still percolating
