here is your sign, if you needed one.
Elizabeth: you’re so arrogant! I would never marry you.
Darcy, under his breath: enemies to lovers, slow burn, 300k words, angst to fluff—
I'm sorry for ignoring the numerous asks actually requesting stuff for me to review, but I have to strike the iron while it's still hot.
Ok, so. Rottmnt has fantastic, 10/10 character designs. That's not something I discovered, it's something anyone with two eyes and a brain can figure out. In particular, the eponymous Turtles themselves have never been more interesting and distinct before this incarnation:
They are fantastic anthro designs, simultaneously easy to imagine as humans while feeling inseparable from their animal traits. And the crew managed to take this a step further with Casey by going in the complete opposite direction! Casey is not just a regular post-apocalyptic fashion kid, he is a reverse engineered turtle gijinka. It's not all that visible at first because the pieces of his attire are all pretty standard, admirably practical, and color-faded, but think about it! The green jumpsuit and shoes are the base "skin", the chest-plate is self-explanatory, and the cape is the turtle shell.
And of course, it's all made even more endearing by how he incorporates something from each of the 4 brothers. Leo is the most obvious influence because Casey is his direct protege; he adopted his eye markings in his mask, his color for the armor, and the diagonal fanny-pack -I wouldn't have complained if he used a belt, but the fanny-pack is the much better option because it's more realistic and practical for him to use that-.
Donny made his gadgets, so he wears his insignia on the cape -which also cleverly breaks the dullness of it without bulking the silhouette- and his shoulder pad is purple.
You get the sense that Casey never really met Raph in his original timeline, so he is only present in the red details and, lastly, Mikey is present in the adorably doodled knee-pads.
Lastly, his facial design is great. Now, I could follow that up with an actual argument about how it balances his more traditional lean hero physique with less conventionally attractive traits that actually convey a personality and a context for where he grew up, but actually, no, I'll just spam pics of him because he really does have Expressions™️ and I love him for that:
all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.
The Rich Kids Club! Dancer AU… where they still have quirks… somehow…
Iida and Momo do ballet while Todo’s a ballroom dancer from the studio next door.
Dick marries Kori and becomes the king of Tamaran. He leads the efforts in terraforming Venus to become “New Tamaran.” Thus bringing together Human and Tamaranian in what many are calling a “new golden age.” However he is nowhere near as famous as his daughter, Princess Mar'i Grayson, whom the media quite absolutely adores. His story arc would focus on fighting off Anti-Tamaranian terrorists and dealing with race relations in the media.
Jason rules over an immense Yakuza-esque criminal syndicate that punishes the worst of the worst. His relationship with the others is strained but they all still love him. His story arc would center around coming to terms with himself and Bruce after rescuing Duke Thomas off the streets and taking him on as his ward.
Tim takes over the mantel of Batman alongside Cass (focusing mainly on Justice League affairs) as well as Wayne Enterprises, growing the company to twice it’s former glory. His story arc mainly revolves around him dealing with corporate espionage and struggling to fill Bruce’s Legacy on the world stage.
Cass takes over the mantel of Batman (focusing mainly on Gotham) and creates a world class charity that helps those in need around the world. Her story arc revolves around her learning to become a mentor for Helena and dealing with everything that goes on in Gotham.
Damian becomes the leader of the League of Assassins, turning those who follow him into a force for good. Not all of the league follows him though and he remains at war with them in the shadows: “The Right Hand of the Demon.” His story arc would center around him coming to terms with his identity amidst the mess that his Grandfather had created.
Helena becomes Robin under Cass and still has yet to grow to her full potential. The hungry media gobbles up any information they can get their hands on, all speculating what the next “Wayne Wonderchild” will go on to accomplish. Her arc would center around trying to step out from Cass and her father’s shadow and go out on her own to try and be her own hero eventually leading to the reformation of the Teen Titans.

Idk what the rest of the Batfam would be doing but I do know that Barbara would eventually become the President of the United States.
Me on Monday vs Me on Friday...
I feel like this video transcends the language barrier.
