Whats all the brothers relationship like? Whats their dynamic if u know what i mean?

Buckle up cause this one is gonna be long.

Raph and Donnie-The youngest and the oldest. Donnie is acutely aware that Raph can be a walking trouble magnet(when he's not the trouble in question)and tends to try and keep and an eye on him. On the other hand, while Donnie knows he probably shouldn't be impressed by his brother's "I fear no god" attitude, it's hard not to be sometimes. Raph meanwhile appreciates his older brother’s resourceful nature and uncanny ability to get them out of danger. Due to Raph's Insomnia and Donnie’s tendency to stay up late working on projects, Raph tends to hang out in the lab when neither of them can sleep, sometimes they'll chat away the hours, but most nights it's just nice to hang out and do their own separate thing. Both can be stubborn at times, but it doesn’t result in more than the occasional minor squabble for most part. Raph is the one person in the family that actively enjoys Donnie's drum playing as opposed to just politely encouraging it.

Mikey and Leo-The middle children of the family. Leo's tendency to distrust overly nice people clashes with Mikey's dislike of assuming the worst about people, This of course, has led to disagreements on how to resolve situations. Mikey is also a terrible patient as he tries to sneak off because he gets restless easily; which drives Leo up a wall from worry and frustration. Leo will seek Mikey out to bounce ideas off when he's experiencing a writer's block, and they also share similar tastes in food as well as a stage magic phase when they were younger... though it was to varying degrees of success.

Leo and Raph- The red and blue duo. Raph hates taking medicine and will try and prolong the inevitable for as long as he can, despite this Leo considers him the best patient out of his brothers since he’s the one who's most likely to actually rest. Raph continually tries to convince Leo to get out of his April Fool's retirement and form an alliance with him... the day both of them agree will be the most terrifying day for the whole family, Leo is waiting for Raph to show him an idea that will prove he is ready. Raph's roller skates are actually Leo's hand-me-downs; Leo swore off skating after he lost his first baby tooth to it, Raph got the hang of it after losing a couple of his own baby teeth. sometimes, Leo will join Raph on his photography ventures, both to clear his head and spark some ideas, and to have the peace of mind of someone being there with his brother if something bad happens. Despite not being much taller, Raph likes to poke fun at his older brother’s height.

Donnie and Mikey- the purple and orange duo. When Mikey was 9, he asked Donnie if he could make him a ‘'cool robot arm' like those from the movies; the prosthetic he has currently is the 28th model. After Donnie made the first model, Mikey gave him his scarf, the one he still wears, as thanks. That model was unfortunately not waterproof, something Donnie had forgotten to tell Mikey, and it needed to be wrapped in a bag of rice pretty soon after. They like to play 1v1 board games together, mostly connect four, Donnie will drag out his turn as he gets absorbed by strategy, but Mikey always wins with the same strategy. As he believes, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it.". Mikey is very appreciative (and a bit guilty) that Donnie is patient in repairing his arm if he breaks it, but Donnie has never considered it a bother, and never will. They also share similar music tastes.

Raph and Mikey- The youngest brothers. Despite only barely being a year older, Mikey will still try to pull the “older sibling” card to try and impart some wisdom on his younger brother. Since Raph is his only younger brother, Mikey does try to be the cool older sibling…he gets points for trying. What Mikey doesn’t know is that he never needed to prove himself anyways cause Raph already admired him for his emotional intelligence. They have somewhat of a friendly rivalry going on the during training, which can extend to the battlefield by way of making it a competition. When they were younger, the two used to fight a lot, but nowadays the arguments tend to be short lived and they are quick to apologize. Both of them avoid horror films like the plague. Raph can’t understand Mikey’s love of bugs, finding the creatures freaky.

Leo and Donnie-The oldest brothers. Leo is the most successful of all the brothers at getting Donnie to actually go to bed. Leo is acutely aware that Donnie is the smartest person he knows, but that doesn't mean he knows what to do in every situation, so he tries to lend his assistance when he can. Donnie admires (and sometimes envies) Leo's ability to work under pressure. Leo has yet to beat Donnie in a spar, and really admires his skill. They disagree (rather vehemently) on pineapples on Pizza, and probably will for the rest of their lives. Both of them can’t cook to save their lives. When they were younger, they were almost the same height but Donnie shot up while Leo was condemned to the shorter twin existence. they bond over watching "unsolved mystery" shows together and are most comfortable venting to each other. Leo's very willing to listen to Donnie ramble about science though he doesn't always understand. All that aside, Donnie, unfortunately for Leo, is actually the worst at resting when he's sick and it drives Leo mad.

And as a bonus!

Splinter and the turtles-As Splinter was rather young and inexperienced, in the first few months of raising the turtles she was more like a frantic babysitter and less like a parent. Eventually, she found her footing as their mother. She tries to balance guiding her children and giving them their own free choices so that they can learn by making their own mistakes and triumphs. As such, she's always openly supported her boys' passions. If faced by a "greater good or your family" situation, she would choose her family without regret. Despite all this, she's never told her family she was once human, as she believed that children should never carry the responsibilities and burdens of their parents. She also encouraged Ninjutsu as a skill and taught them that there was never any shame in running away from a fight. Despite their contrasting opinions on the Horror genre, Raph will often join her in watching trashy reality tv shows. At Leo’s request, Splinter was the one who taught him first aid, and she grew up listening to the same type of music Leo does. Mikey likes to meditate with her and they sometimes work together on quilts(even when they don’t need one).She sometimes worries about her eldest; that his nonstop mind may serve to hurt him once he finds a puzzle he can’t solve.

This was a very fun ask to answer!

In TMNT: Unity, what are your turtles different fighting styles? Are they more defensive, offensive, melee, ranged, etc? Also, how do they work together in a fight? Do some work better together than others? Or are they all a mess? (and same question for April, Casey, and Splinter if you're feeling up to that)

Now this is a fun question! I’ll try my best to describe the fighting style of our main characters!

Donnie’s fighting style is what I would call versatile, It involves a lot of shifting, twisting and blocking. He can switch between the three Size settings on His Bo[Tanbo, Jo and Bo] on the fly, allowing Him to Switch to whichever best compliments the opponent’s weapon and the circumstances. Sometimes he will switch mid combat to throw the opponent off, doing it only infrequently to prevent the Opponent from adapting

Raph’s fighting style is what I would call Agile. He will try to get in close fast before the opponent has time to react. It involves a lot of catching the weapon on the Kama, tripping the opponent, and using the chain as a chokehold. what it lacks in stealth and offensive power it makes up for in disarming opponents. He has the most range of his siblings

Mikey’s fighting style is what I would call Energetic. He will use evasion to tire out the opponent, blocking when they manage to get in close. He will then try getting in a few good hits, A mix of Striking and kicking before kicking the opponent backwards in order to regain some distance

Leo’s fighting style is what I would call Adaptable. He will often feint with one Kodachi then strike with the other. He will use the opponent’s momentum and strengths against them. He tends to favor his right Kodachi over his left one.

Casey’s fighting style is what i would call unpolished, She often hits hard with the force of raw power but he lacks the finesse of a trained combatant, this often has the side effect of leaving them open for counterattacks. They will tend to use anything she can get his hands on as a weapon.

April’s fighting style is what I would call Evasive. If she can, She will tend to avoid being confronted directly, Either through trying to stay hidden or through the use of smoke bombs for a quick escape. If she is cornered and cannot avoid a direct confrontation, She will try and end the fight quickly by catching them off guard.

Splinter’s fighting style is what I would call defensive. She favors blocking, striking at weak spots in the opponent's stance or armor when the moment is right. She can be seen utilizing her unique physiology to Jump backwards and forwards with ease. Though she may appear to be moving freely to the outside perspective. She is efficient and effective in her movements, preserving her stamina.

Now in terms of who works best together...

Raph and Casey-these two work well together in that they tend to make up for the other’s weaknesses. Casey’s attention drawing fighting style gives Raph the advantage he needs to catch opponents by surprise and He can disarm the targets Casey does not notice, thus both can cover the other’s blind spots.

Donnie and Leo- Both of their fighting styles rely on understanding the opponent. Donnie with the Calculated variations of his staff, and Leo with his on the fly redirection of their strengths. when paired together, this can make them quite a pain for an opponent relying on raw power

Mikey and Raph- Mikey’s method of kicking the opponent backwards, causing them to lose balance makes it easy for Raph to follow it up with their chain. they have a sort of friendly competition on the battlefield and this tends to motivate both of them.

This was super fun to ask. Look forward to more Tmnt unity in the future!

Who’s most attached to Ms. Splinter?

Mikey shares a lot in common with splinter and they both enjoy each others quiet company, meaning that they spend more time with each other. while this does not mean Mikey is the most attached, we are unable to come up with a better answer to this question because we believe that the turtles are equally attached to their mom.

Default@??Zangoose: [Ask] "The same question goes for you darling.... On my side... This cold does not bother me too much, for as you can see, the fur on my neck protects me quite well... but" The zoroark starts to analize the red eyed one for a second "Your fur doesn't seem as protective as mine from this distance... may I ask you... who may you be hun'? and why does this cold snow does not move you a single bit?"

“Well to be honest with you , the cold doesn’t bother me at all !”he said as he came out of the cave with a small chuckle. “I haven’t heard of an ice type being cold from such a weather ! My fur is not really doing anything against the cold but I can warm others if it’s the case !”

“Also me ? Well I am Will pleasure to meet you dear !’”he said with a little smile

Actually Dusk, the Vulpix species have a flame in their chest that is essentially their heart. The heat you feel is probably from that. Be careful, you're probably going to want to vent that every once in a while to prevent yourself from overheating! (It's in the Pokedex, I forget which version)

“How am I gonna vent if I have a flaming heart tempoarily in me?”

“ …”

“It…worked, It actually worked!”

His first M!A: 4/6

@modlonebraixen @ask-the-timeline

“Yep i’s nam’d afta the time the brewer smelled one ah Groudon’s tears hit a spice garden.” The old Vaporeon says. “I’s a little story from the end of a sad one.”

The small sip the Zoroark takes gives a weak hint at what’s to come. The strength of the ale and the spices give a small burning sensation on their tongue. As Default starts to chug the burning intensifies as their throat begins to warm as well. A light warmth starts to spread on the Zoroark’s cheeks as the scent of the spices begin to burn Default’s nostrils. This just makes breathing through the nose burn a little. Whether it was a good idea to chug it or not seems to matter little to the ale. As the glass passes half full the warmth has spread over the Zoroark’s cheeks. As Default sets down the glass the buzz sets in.

“Not bad kid, not many can handl’ it ‘ell.”

( @ask-the-timeline )

Default@???: The shiny colored Zoroark appeared from the shadows looking at the legendary duo from what may or may be not a safe distance analizing the situation before speaking "YOU STOP THAT" the zoroark says to the Hostile one "IDENTIFY YOURSELF! What kind of intentions you may have to attack one of your kind!?" They add, it's like they have been in a similar situation before

…No response. The Naganadel turns and flies off.

Lumin turns to Default. “I… wouldn’t recommend that you try to talk to the Naganadel… These Ultra beasts… aren’t exactly thinking on their own accord.”

@ask-the-timeline

Default@Yukia: *The Zoroark approaches the Ninetails slowly* Why, hello there~ It has been quite a while since I last met a ninetails. *Says in a curious manner* But even then I have to ask you something, you seem to be a little bit hard on that lucario over there. Is there a reason for it? are you training him maybe? It looks like it's important for you that he does things right...

Yukia: he’s just too carefree. I try to put him into line so he doesn’t mess up. He’s like my little brother.

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

How do you decide what kinds of things you want to write over?

Hi!!

So it kind of depends on what has inspired me lately, so my first fic on here was inspired by Greek mythology and I have been a huge mythology nerd for forever.

Music also plays a big part in my life so if I hear a song I really like a story can come from that.

So it is mostly just what my brain latches onto at that time!

Thank you for asking!

Very late response, but I thank you.

Didn’t really understand him until reading this, cleared a few things up.

Hello, I am a person interested in folklore. I wanted to ask if you who Assur or Ashur is and what legends he has and if it isn’t too much of an issue, give some good sources on Mesopotamian myth and folklore as I can’t tell what’s real and what’s bullshit.

Probably the best overviews of Ashur’s character are still Wilfred G. Lambert’s short 1983 article The God Aššur and Grant Frame’s My Neighbour's God: Aššur in Babylonia and Marduk in Assyria.  If you can read German, Wiebke Meinhold’s Die Familie des Gottes Aššur is a must read too. The wikipedia article is actually quite in depth too now, a pleasant surprise - it used to be a nightmare.

Long story short, it is generally agreed Ashur started as a divine representation of the namesake city (or perhaps the hill on which it was built) and with time could become essentially whatever its political interests required; so, for instance, when his cult center turned from a city-state into the capital of an empire interested in military expansion, he gained warlike traits. His early character was fairly indistinct, and he had no signature epithets which would point at a specific sphere of influence, though.

While it’s par the course for ancient Mesopotamia to have gods essentially represent the political interests of their cult centers, this is particularly extreme in Ashur’s case because for a solid chunk of his history it’s hard to even speak of him as a personified deity. For example, the Old Assyrian texts from the trading colony Kanesh essentially make it difficult to tell when the god is meant and when the city. Regarding specific cities as numinous, basically divine, locations are not without parallel either, but rarely to such a degree. It’s possible he was initially depicted in art in non-anthropomorphic form, see here for some discussion. However, anthropomorphic depictions might be present on seals too, see here.

As a result of Ashur’s lack of personhood in early sources, he had very few truly distinct associations with other deities to speak of. Basically the only exception is the minor goddess Sherua, but it was already a matter of heated debate in antiquity how they are related to each other. There are also virtually no references to him having parents; no genealogical speculation centered on him ever developed before the emergence of a Neo-Assyrian trend of referring to him as self created (bānû ramānīšu).

The earliest evidence for a gradual shift towards making Ashur into a more standard deity, as opposed to a semi-personified deified city, are probably theophoric names. Additionally, rulers of the city addressed him as a source of their authority and presented themselves essentially as governors acting on his behalf, similarly to what their counterparts in Eshnunna and Der did with Tishpak and Ishtaran, respectively.

Further important developments occurred in the Middle Assyrian period, some 4-5 centuries later. The idea at this time was to essentially pattern Ashur’s character on Enlil. This is attested to various degrees for the heads of many pantheons on the periphery of Mesopotamia, you can read more about other similar cases here. However, in Ashur’s case this process was nowhere near as straightforward as sometimes claimed, as recently stressed by Spencer J. Allen in Aššur and Enlil in Neo-Assyrian Documents. For the most part, the two were effectively separate, even though Ashur did borrow Enlil’s titles, traits and even some of his relatives and servants.

Ashur generally doesn’t appear in myths. The only exception I can think of is that during the reign of Sennacherib there was an attempt to develop a rewrite of the Enuma Elish with Ashur taking Marduk’s role but it’s… well, an incomplete rewrite and nothing more. A pretty incoherent one at that according to Lambert.  Regarding your other question: I have a recommended reading doc linked in my pinned post, you can find it here.

Glad to finally know that this guy actually exists and isn’t just some random made up demon to be filler hoping nobody notices.

Don’t know if this is a stupid question, but with the Raidou remaster shown and older demons given new life, I’d like to ask, what is an Enku?

I know it’s a Preta, but I can’t find sources on Enku specifically, and I thought one of the guys that found the myths of obscure demons would find him.

Questions about demons are never stupid!

It is really difficult to find specific info on the Enku. This is about the best I could find in a reasonable timeframe that's also not just repeating SMT compendium info:

Kyoto National Museum

Kyoto National Museum

Welcome to the official website of the Kyoto National Museum. In addition to information about exhibitions, events, and access, the website

The sixth section tells how Ananda (J: Anan), another of Shakyamuni’s ten great disciples, heard about the suffering of a hungry ghost who continuously belched flame (engu gaki) and taught the ghost an incantation from Shakyamuni to achieve salvation. The seventh section recounts how Ananda passed on this method of salvation to the monks, who then began the ceremony of offering food and drink to the spirits of the dead (segaki).

The Enku's definition as a type of Preta that belches flame and exists in the Preta realm really seems to be about it. Essentially, it's a being that exists as a kind of punishment should you be wicked and end up reincarnating in the Preta realm. The idea/formula behind the enku gaki is, in sum:

you hear about the enku gaki

then get frightened of reincarnating as one

thus you become more devoted to following Buddhist teachings

That's how they get ya!
