Obligatory Pinned Introductory Post.

Suh du.
Figured I’d at least make *some* kind of introductory post, since Bluesky’s bio limits still feel a little restrictive.
Name’s Nate. I’m a 21-year-old stogie-smoking nerd from Lawrence, Kansas, currently in Wichita, attending my Senior Year at Wichita State University for a degree in Information Technology and Management Information Systems. I'm a former Democrat turned Marxist-Leninist (seize the means of production ☭), a hater of our current President, a meteorology buff with connections to the National Weather Service, and a mechanic who has no qualifications as a mechanic.
Having “Weaponized Autism” and ADHD means I have *far* too many interests to list off. Still, the biggest ones right now are bowling, pinball, vinyl records, hi-fi audiovisual, and vintage cars (I even drive a 1970 Ford XL Convertible back home daily). In terms of film and TV, I’m an ardent fan of Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Designated Survivor, and anything that has a lot of humor and heart. For music, I’m a disciplined fan of Dave Matthews Band, The Avett Brothers, and many underground/indie artists like Poolhouse and The Chain Gang of 1974.
I also want to make it known that I may occasionally discuss/repost some 18+ topics and artwork, so I advise my account to be 18+ for followers. I try to tag accordingly, so for that reason, I *require* a 16+ minimum to follow.
Anyways, I appreciate you coming to my page! Follow for more. :D

It's even presented in the right order!

Leonardo leads Donatello does machines! / Raphael is cool but rude, Michelangelo is a party dude!

NECA's best work in years. I love this.

Finally got my NECA 2012 TMNT Raphael figure. Absolutely blown away.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

TMNT 2012 NECA Unboxing: Raphael

Dude, this is what childhood joy feels like. No matter how old I get, I will always cherish the impact the 2012 TMNT series had on me as a kid. NECA did an incredible job on the detail of Raphael. He’s straight out of the cartoon!

Ordered one of these from the Walmart website, I'm curious to know how long yours took to ship from purchase to delivery. Mine's still been in the preparing phase for about 4, 5 days now.
