I am Sick? Hmmmmmm

Quote:

My line of thought is that its notoriously difficult to tell the genders apart. A female mutant turtle wouldn't necessarily have breasts, and wouldn't necessarily be smaller than males. Differences might only become apparent at puberty. And Don, knowing that he was different, might seek to conceal it for the sake of fitting in.

Hmmm...I may have another story to write...

Do that, and I'll have to lynch ya for sure, SC. I mean... it took me long enough to adjust after Phishtar insisted to make Don gay in all her fics. (It's all in the tail... the TAIL!! That's the sure bet way to tell the sexes apart.)

Oh well... write what you want. Just don't expect me to read it. *hehee*

And one of thises fine days, I play to have some 'straight action' planned in Mummer's Dance.

I LIKE the idea. She could use a universe that didn't give them "tails"...

Anyway, Don wasn't gay in ALL her fics.
What about Empathy?

**HorseTechie** · 03-23-2002, 10:03 PM

heh... go figure, I didn't read that fic yet. But what can I say... I've lost my fascination for slash fics. They don't do anything for me anymore. *shrug*

**Kali** · 03-23-2002, 10:07 PM

Hope that never happens to me.

**HorseTechie** · 03-23-2002, 10:22 PM

Hah.. yes, the weirdest things Evil Age can do to one... and loosing interest for sex 24/7 is one of them. *sai*

When you almost 30, 'sex' means 'babies' cause the biological clock is kicking in... Yeah... I wanna start having kids, but I can't cause hubby and I are too busy doing other things that babies would just get in the way of. Mmm... babies...

**Kali** · 03-23-2002, 10:27 PM

When your the oldest of four, helping to raise younger siblings, you kinda lose that maternal instinct early. At least in my case. I've never been too fond of children anyways.

**HorseTechie** · 03-23-2002, 10:36 PM

Awww... well, that explains it. I'm the youngest in the family - the WHOLE family. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago did a close cousin finally had a baby! No one else in our family had one yet.

And even though I like children, I'm kind of shy about being all touchy-feely-maternal about other people's kids. Wierd. But I love reading/writing fics with the TMNT being like that about children now.

**Kali** · 03-23-2002, 10:56 PM

Yeah. "Mikey was gooshy. I was... semi-gooshy."

**HorseTechie** · 03-23-2002, 10:57 PM

You're so Raph in that aspect indeed. *hehe*

**azure turtle** · 03-23-2002, 11:27 PM

Kids are can be a hassle to take care of. I used to volunteer at the local library in the kids section, and I had to pick up after them. Eh. Anyway, this blue turtle has no plans for hatchlings any time soon. Nope. I'm gonna travel the world, see the sights, and live a little before I decide to settle down in my own corner of the sewers. Heh heh, I guess the traveling can begin with Las Vegas tomorrow! Woo!

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-24-2002, 02:10 AM

Hmmm...looks like there were a lot of good conversations today!

On the subject of them having kids...I'm not entirely sure about that. I certainly think that they're able to have morning wood (poor Mike), and I think that size-wise they could be with a human woman. But on a genetic level...I don't think it would work.

As for Donatello being a female in a story. I don't really know enough about turtle reproductive organs. All of the books I've found don't really have photos, and the websites I've found have poor drawings. I do know that the male's tails are wider at the base, plastron is often curved, and some species have extra long "claws".

I also know that if you rub the "tummy" of an adolecent male snapping turtle he'll get a hard-on. (I was walking around a pet show in Chicago. A herptologist was demonstrating that fact as I happened to walk by. At that time I was more interested in looking at fuzzy animals than turtle dicks, so I didn't stop and look. The fact that I remember so much of that tiny incident just goes to show how warped my memory is.)

Anyway, if anyone knows of any good turtle anatomy references, I'd love to know. Especially since the idea has now lodged itself firmly into my brain. (I made notes for the story during my lunch hour!)

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-24-2002, 02:16 AM

Bleh. That post was getting too big. But I've still got more to say...

What does the term "slash" mean in reference to fics?

Also, don't worry HorseTechie; if this does get written it would mostly likely be a one-shot. Of course, that said, I've already slated it as a sequel to Moonlight. But I will finish Moonlight before I start writing it! I suppose I could do it stand-alone too...but at the moment something I had planned for Moonlight seems to lend itself to the idea.

**Kali** · 03-24-2002, 10:01 AM

*I could have sworn I explained this already.*

Slash - A story that is usually sexual in nature involving two characters of the same sex, usually two men. (a definition given by some site.)

SeaThreePeeO · 03-24-2002, 11:15 AM

Hmmmmmm in some strange way I am glad I missed all this.

Slash huh? I don't think I will be reading any of those soon. Don't get me wrong I don't have any problems with homosexual relationships, people are free to make their own choices. But being at that so called 'evil age' HT mentioned I am having enough trouble reading the stuff with straight sexual relationships in it.

As they say over here. No sex please, we're British!

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-24-2002, 02:38 PM

Thanks Kali! If you did explain it before, I missed it. Not surprising considering my attention span.

SeaThreePeeO · 03-24-2002, 03:39 PM

*Dances for joy*

Woooohooooo! Today I have ordered a brand new copy of Heros in a Half Shell from Amazon.com. I can wait for it to arrive. To think I had the whole series on a special unbroken feature length tape. But I gave it away! What was I thinking?

Sometimes I could kick myself. Now all I have to do is scout the net for the rest of the series. Ho hum! Wish me luck!

**Machias Banshee** · 03-24-2002, 04:23 PM

Awesome! I just got turtle tracks, the incredible shrinking turtles, and last night i just got my Shedder is Splintered downloaded from Kazaa. I love the thing about the karma to remain as a rat...

i STILL have to send money to the guy in CA to get my comix. Grr...why must stuff be so Expensive!?

SeaThreePeeO · 03-24-2002, 04:34 PM

Because it is life's way of poking you in the eye!
