Truth Meme
Truth Meme
Somehow, there is kirin on you.
Most likely, it is the fur of the kirin that was caught in the environment of wherever you’ve been; there is a stray hair on you because one was on the seat you sat on upon the train or because it blew onto the brim of your hat in the wind.
Or it may be because you met the kirin—a playful ungulate moose-sized spirit who prefers not to speak—and engaged with him and gave him a pat, or a scratch behind an ear. Maybe the kirin nosed or licked your hand because you made him laugh (it’s an adorable ‘keh keh keh’ sound).
Unfortunately for both you and the kirin (who had not meant to trouble your day like this, truly), this exposure to his dander has only one reaction, and it happens to 100% of Star Children: you are compelled to tell the entire truth. About what is less specific; you are compelled simply to announce things about yourself—your life, experiences, thoughts, opinions, feelings. No matter if it’s something silly and inconsequential, deep or secretive, life-altering or commonplace. Some may choose to do this by employing Foxi and their relic; others by finding people to exchange truth with to face to face.
When you have met the kirin’s subconscious desire for four hours, you will be free from the truth telling and the recipient of 24 hours of good luck. The good luck will be sometime in the next year rather than in the next day, and you may have no idea where it came from, but you’ll know a lucky day when you have it!

ok that's a lie i think that'll stress me out worse than my brothers ever have
im glad you were reared with commitment to the bit by that little bozo 😾 never tell him this
no subject
i was definitely raised by a village (of turtles)
so some of me is your fault
or his. his/your fault
i used to growl at people when i was little, that's so uncle raph coded
i can't tell him, he's dead so
oh geez
backspace backspace
this is stupid just bc things are true doesn't mean we should say them
no subject
the part responsibility.
but i hope you kept up on those growls in secret, that's huge in the family protection agenda! intimidation!
raph respects the truth as a concept even though the truth hurts.
as long as i don't gotta give the bad news bc i can't handle that too much.
anyway i'm sorry buddy i didn't mean for us to one two punch into sadness. i never wanna make family stuff weird for you bc youre one of us now
no takebacks
no subject
but i like to think the spirit's there
it's ok it's not your fault
i wouldn't have said it usually
i always thought i'm the one who makes the family stuff weird since i've only technically been around for like a year but to me it's been my whole life
i worried about acting too familiar or saying something that would make it awkward for you guys
like stuff i know but i kind of shouldn't bc you never told me
felt invasive??
i'm getting better about it, i think
april says it's ok to talk about them
is it? does it bother you
sorry i know this is cheating you have to be honest and it's not like i thought you'd lie about it but
idk i'd feel better, knowing
no subject
you got a chainsaw and your mask glows in the dark a little!! you were made for this!
put some growl practice on the training schedule bud.
and doing stuff that helps little brothers feel better is like the whole reason i'm here, don't even trip
soooo i don't think it bothers me. you should talk about em whenever you want, that IS ok
i mean i guess it would bother me if it seemed like it bothered you?
i don't wanna make you relive messed up stuff or talk about stuff you don't wanna. you're one of my little guys, i don't wanna push too hard.
i still feel bad about that weird dream stuff bc neither of us asked for it but that's a whole other mess
but idk. this whole family makes stuff weird for everyone in it all the time yknow? there's basically no such thing as making it too weird
we're a circus, we bounce back from everything. and we love you.
no subject
maybe bc i don't wear it on my head as much as i used to, always got it with me but not the same
don't take the chainsaw out so much either, there's so much less fighting here
we can practice sometime for sure ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ grrrr
thank you, that really does mean a lot
you can push me if you want ive survived worse! (i say like you don't already know)
i don't really share the bad stuff with most people if i can help it tho. that's what therapy is for
so most of it doesn't bother me, at least not so much i don't want to share it
but the dream stuff was
mess is a good word for it
i wish you didn't feel bad but i feel bad and i bet you probably wish i didn't
the whole point of me going back is so nobody would see the world get that bad so showing it to you feels like
idk like my own brain did you wrong
and that version of me in the dream was an asshole
i'm really sorry for shoving your face in that mess
sorry i wasn't supposed to talk about it but then you said that so i had to talk about it
not that it's your fault
oh my god this stupid whatever this is
CIRCUS
WEIRD CIRCUS
i love you guys too
no subject
oh are you doin therapy now? good for you bud, tell me if you need someone to beat up your therapist for you.
i don't really like pushing touchy stuff is all. tough love is a fine line to walk and you gotta learn the lines different for everybody. i'm working on yours.
helping vs bullying is the classic brother's lament
ah you didn't shove my face in it its fine. brain you is part of you. Mind Casey.
all your brain parts deserve to get their say. sometimes mad feels like the easy way to get it said yknow? sometimes that's all a guy's got.
idk what my point is.
so let's just both try to cancel out each other feeling bad until one day it's reality that we stop feeling bad for it. like champs.
right like i'm already a bad liar on a regular day what do we need all this extra magic jazz for???
no subject
would you believe he might actually be as tall as you? dont beat him up tho hes like UNREASONABLY nice and you would feel very guilty after
idk what my line is, you've always been really good and chill. dont do what donnie did thats the line
i do wish mind-me was less of a jerk but there were less jerky versions at least so the rest of me is normal
well. "normal"
it sounds kinda like what master draxum said, he was like
"thats your pain and anger roaming with no outlet"
he was probably right
ive tried to find some outlets for it, i guess thats where the therapy kicks in. i started pretty soon after that trial
it wasn't all bad though, draxum helped angry-me up to the technodrome and we took down krang prime
i didnt even know that was an option
even if it was just a dream, it felt really good to win
maybe it's for whichever ones of us are actually good liars? you'd think WE would be better at it
what with the ninja thing
no subject
do you want me to punch donnie in the shoulder???
i might anyway he's been weird lately.
i hate to give it to draxum but dude's not half bad at the insights. i talked to him about that kinda stuff once.
but keep that on the down low i don't want everyone knowing.
i'm SO glad you got that dream W with him. a little uhhh
catharsis
ninjocity is like the lying of the eyeballs, idk if that counts as being good at lying
you and me are honest boys.
mostly honest.
ive lied before and probably will again, i just don't know if i'll get away with it
no subject
you should see him sometime though, bet there's a lot you havent talked about yet
and yeah donnie's been weird. if you do punch him don't tell him it was from me, he'll just hate me more
what did draxum say? did it help?
im glad too. he was really cool in the dream, i couldnt have won without him. we both also kind of died there? except not bc we just woke up. it was a very weird night
i'd rather be honest than good at lying. maybe thats what i got from future you lol
growling and honesty
sure didn't get that from sensei he could lie to his own reflection
no subject
i feel like i'd feel too weird about all that.
donnie doesn't hate you! i'd bet on it. idk how he feels about you exactly i just think hate ain't really it. he's complicated.
yeah draxum helped some actually
it was a lot of that kinda "be patient, meet yourself where you're at, learn your new normal raph" advice. (basically)
mostly it
idk i think he had the closest idea where i was coming from so that helped the most.
for helping you and me both out i'll give him one future free pass on his weird shenanigans.
good things to inherit if i do say so myself 💪💪💪
leo's always had that kind of power. it's what makes him a good faceman when he's taking point as faceman!
mikey's a close second. they're our main liars on the field.
which i guess THEY got from pop... this could be a whole new family tree layout
no subject
i'd go with if you want. did that for hunter and he said it was really helpful
and ig that's true donnie said he didn't hate me he'd just like kill me if i tried a repeat of invasion day
hey do me a favour and forget i said that
he wasn't joking but i want to say he was joking so pretend i said that instead
HI IM MOVING ON NOW
that's good advice from draxum tho. he really was surprisingly good at that sort of thing when he cared enough to try
funny coming from a guy who pretended not to care about anyone
agreed on all counts
i tried to draw our family tree one time and it got so convoluted and twisty i had to give up like four separate times
no subject
ok so raph doesn't wanna forget and move on about that first point buddy
no subject
like you said he's complicated!
no subject
THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER TIER
no subject
i'm not his family
no subject
yeah obviously i can't make him feel a way about you or see you a way he doesn't wanna
i guess that's his business to work on?? it's a time thing.
but you're family to ME and to leo and april and mikey and rue right NOW and you're gonna be family to master splinter bc he's used to that kinda stuff
and donnie should at least know the ground rule to respect that
the family of my family is also my family! that's literally what all those fast and furious movies are about!!!
and he SHOULD KNOW that what happened wasn't even your fault in the first place! he's the logic guy.
i TOLD him he was mad about a buncha stuff that happened with the invasion but he never wants to listen to a heart guy ugh
want me to talk to him next time he resurfaces? i can talk to him i'm gonna talk to him consider him talked
no subject
on the other hand: screaming, screaming so much, he does not want this]
thank you but please don't
he'll just be annoyed, it'll make things worse
and like you said you can't make him feel what he's not going to feel
can't change what he thinks either and he thinks i had a choice and chose wrong
i'm probably just assuming the worst i mean "remove you from the equation" can mean a lot of things right
he can still go semilethal
[ha ha throwback look at us we are joking here]
no subject
you ever change your mind or want a talk backup, i got you.
donnie's a straight shooter but sometimes stuff is still extra weird and complicated with him. we could figure it out.
uhhhhhh
it COULD mean a lot of things. technically yeah.
none of us ever want you to be in that position again anyway, for caring about you reasons. so let's not even worry about it more than a normal amount.
no subject
i'm not worried about it, for the record
i mean not more than a normal amount. i try not to think about it and that's fine
i don't want to be in that position with ANY of you ever again though
no subject
i hear that little buddy.
maybe we'll catch a real break once we get home huh?
no subject
i dont think ive ever asked you. whats the last thing you remember from new york? like was it right after the invasion or was there some buffer afterwards
no subject
is that a question we shouldve been asking here??? i just figured everyone was from around then so i didn't think about it.
no subject
for me, we got to the lair and then i woke up here
april's from a month or two after invasion day so now im not sure about leo or donnie anymore
no subject
like all this full potential stuff is already a bunch of hogwash!
nobody can ever reach their full potential because there's no such thing as reaching your full potential because you can ALWAYS do BETTER!!!!
it's not potential if you're doing it! it's just where you're at!!!!!!!
now we gotta remember to do TIME MATH on top of that? for FAMILY?
one of these days raph's gonna snap and it's not gonna be mindful OR demure
