Before you go “mY aRt sTyLe iS dIfFrEnT tHoUgH” you can moderate it and play around with your style to get it to fit.

Dias de Los Muertos is coming soon and I am gonna be posting a prologue to my ROTTMNT AU Oblivious Sonder, for those who don’t know, one of my oc’s in that AU is half Mexican and he celebrates that day with his family. I’m Hispanic and celebrate this holiday with my family as well since they always have, I have great cousins that are Mexican and I’ve heard nothing but tejano music, my family speaking Spanish and just have a deep appreciation for our culture.

So I put that with Dante because I like sharing these stories with people! I will try to finish this small little prologue on time! And I put it in honor of my grandma, my grandpa, my uncles and my cousin who I have recently visited at their headstones. Te quiero mucho mi familia❣️

I should post about this too, for the sake of courtesy. .

Dear US citizens. .

As someone who was born and raised in a censorship heavy and oppressive country, with an honest heart, I can't say I feel a tinge of sympathy for any of you. I want to tell you that you need to stop whining because just like we do, you'll live. I spent my entire life watching you all have infinitely more privilege and audacity to do as you please than I'll ever see in my country, and how unaware you were until it was too late.

However, I will still tell you some very simple things to keep in mind:

Get a trustworthy VPN.

Switch to Firefox.

Make sure you routinely clear your cookies and get trackers off of your back.

Deactivate your Twitter account(s), and send an email to the HQ to erase your data.

(I do not care how proud you are that you were there when Jack was the CEO, would you rather exercise your right to take your data back or let Elon have your information?)

Find unbiased news sources.

(You lot do not have anywhere near the amount of censorship that would require this, but find underground journalists who post on Tor links, if you really need to.)

Decenter yourself while in public.

(Do not speak of your political alliance. Do not mention any marginalized part of you that you are able to hide. Do Not Out Anyone. Keep everyone's information private. Lie, lie, and lie some more. Keep your lips sealed shut and watch out for even the slightest thing that might give you away, it's much easier than you think.)

Be prepared for anything. The laws mean nothing to deranged presidents. The laws are not as infallible as you might think.

Stock up on food. Grains, oils, and canned foods are must haves.

(The most basic foods will reach insane prices in the blink of an eye. Get them while you can. Grow fruits and vegetables at home if you have the means.)

Don't go around complaining about how it's all so unfair.

(It is very unfair and you have every right to be upset, but once again, decenter yourself and stop feeling entitled to being openly dramatic. You Are In Danger, And Complaining Won't Save You.)

That's a well done summary of everything I should say for now.

Welcome to the club, everyone.

Happy Holidays!

Have a piece of my oc Ophelia! She celebrates Yule with her mom but on her dad’s side she celebrates Christmas!

bye, bye baby blue - a ROTTMNT amv

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

Not mine got it online but so true

LAST POST FOR RN (it is gonna be 4am omfg-) W.I.P of Rise!Ronin in his early 20’s,, this was just me trying to do foreshortening (???) and perspectives so yeah!!!

“May I speak to your boss now?”

I have been wanting to draw my Rise!Ronin intimidating as all hell cause he truly is and this is just him without using his mystic abilities!!!

Mikey has been through a lot and at this point he just wants to get everything over with so he can have peace finally.
