Two Words: Life Goals

Sunita absolutely keeps April up to date on the latest rumours surrounding the turtles and co,

this weeks one being;

 CJ looks human because he inherited the jorogumo shapeshifting ability and the poor boy's obviously just not used to being in a yokai safe environment.

Lol i love that! I imagine the yokai that end up believing that try to be exceptionally nice to CJ, in hopes he starts feeling comfortable enough to shift out of his disguise. CJ is just super confused that week when like five different shopkeepers hand him free stuff and April's laughing more and more as they go.

Thank you!

Horses are really fragile animals. Is it still a death sentence for a centaur if one of their equine limbs gets hurt? Or can they help it somehow?

Oh god, now I'm thinking of amputees and how those would work

Horses are SUPER fragile, or maybe more like delicately balanced.. but particularly their crazy spindle-legs which centaurs get to deal with! But a big part of why hurt legs are a death sentence for horses has less to do with "It kills them" and more to do with quality of life, which a centaur can get around! A horse with a broken leg doesn't understand it can't put ANY weight on that leg for an extended period and will attempt to go about their daily life and act normally, which basically guarantees re-injuring the bad leg and a high chance of injuring the other 3 legs as they try to cope with the change in balance and weight distribution. It all leads to a really poor quality of life with almost no chance of truly healing properly. The story of all they did trying to save Barbaro the racehorse is a long sad story that illustrates a lot of the issues even with modern veterinary medicine with trying to deal with a broken leg in horses.

Thankfully with centaurs, They understand the need for healing, are able to manage their own quality of life and have the gear to support themselves in the time it takes for the injury to heal!

Also perfectly good for long term use in the case of aging, amputation, or general disability! Which is common with the front legs and lower backs of centaurs given the unusual stresses caused by their body-plans. They were created with thicker and more robust front legs to cope with the permanent added weight of the torso instead of a horse head, but injury and disability in that area is still very common!

Injuries to the hind are less common and usually less severe, and given the hind legs bear less direct weight than the front they can usually get away with wraps and limping until it gets back to weight-bearing. Something like a rear amputation or ruptured tendon would probably require a custom harness/brace attached to a wheel like these and/or basically a peg leg!

raph is concerned by his brother’s coping mechanisms

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance

Did you basr Holo Sheldon on a specific turtle species or is he just copying his father?

Oh he's very much just copying his father lol.

His design's actually a cross between Donnie and his Drone body, so he kind of looks like a cross between a mutant turtle and a robot mutant turtle. which...is kinda confusing lol....here's what i mean

Mostly looks like a bio turtle, but his eyes have square pupils and his shell (front and back) look more like the drone shell, or one of DOnnie's battle shells. (he also has circles on is joints b/c of the little propeller(?) limbs on his drone body.) He also has a tail lol : )

Thank you!
