Ghost Bear - Tumblr Posts
in Finland, it is illegal to kill a bear when it’s hibernating. If you ask a hunter why that is, a number of them will tell you it’s wrong simply because it is the law, and they don’t make a distinction between what is right, and what is legal. Most people like that are perfectly normal, decent and respectable people, just like the rest of us.
But if you ask people who think about things, the answer is vague. Killing a hibernating bear would just feel… impolite? You can’t fucking shoot a man when he’s sleeping, that’s just fucking rude. It’s just not the right thing to do.
Long before hunting laws were established in Finland, you couldn’t kill a sleeping bear, and what commands you is something older than law: tradition. Even at a time when hunting was a matter of life and death, and a bear fighting for its life is mainly a matter of death, you just didn’t kill a hibernating bear, you have to wake it up first. Hunters risked their lives, the lives of their brothers and everyone in the hunting party, who were friends, family and men that they loved, to give the bear a fighting chance.
In the modern time, the hunting season of bears is in the summer, for the warmest summer months. There are many reasons for why they are allowed to tread safely in autumn and to sleep in peace through the cold months, almost all of which are rational and scientific, and do not touch the old traditions.
Old faith says a living thing has many souls - henki, luonto, itse. Plants only have one - the one that wills them to grow. Animals have two, both the spark of life and nature that enables them to act. A human being also has the third, one that makes them a person, personality, itse, literally “self”. But the soul that travels in your dreams is not the soul that defines a human - animals have that one as well. When your dog runs in her sleep, her soul is elsewhere, where a dog is needed.
One’s waking soul is elsewhere when they sleep and dream. A bear’s soul is somewhere else when they are hibernating - there are two words for “hibernation” in finnish, one of which is talviuni, “winter sleep”, and that is the one that bears have - and if you kill a sleeping bear, their soul is not in the body, it is still out there, and it can find you, and as a revenge for killing its body, Ghost Bear will kill your entire fucking family.

Bullhop: Every time I hear someone talking about updog, I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke. Honey Badger: Okay, but what is updog? Groundhog: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish. Prairie Dog: No, that’s a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released. Todd: No, that's an update. You’re thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden. Sunita: Surely, that’s Uppsala, where’s updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter. Bullhop: That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs.

Ghost Bear: I am your king, long may I reign! Albearto: Well I didn’t vote for you! Ghost Bear: You don’t vote for kings. Albearto: Well how’d you become king then? Ghost Bear: Baxter of the Lake, their arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Ghost Bear, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king. Albearto: Listen. Strange people lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

4: Favorite non-turtle character?
Ooh, that's a tricky one. There are so many good options! I think I'll have to go with Splinter, though. I love the "former martial arts action star" approach they took with him in Rise. It isn't something I would have expected or thought of, but it fits so well and allows for some sweet, delicious angst! And even if it might not be apparent at the beginning of the series, despite his laziness and silly moments, he's a loving father figure (not just to the turtles; he treats April and Casey this way, too) and a very capable fighter. All in all, I think Splinter is pretty awesome.
5: Coolest mutant/alien design in your opinion?
Either Hypno Potamus or Ghost Bear (post-Snow Day). Hypno is, well, Hypno. He's a dapper, well-dressed magician hippo with some cool weapons. Simple, but effective. Then there's Ghost Bear. His mutation makes him super imposing, especially with his new teeth and claws.
If we include yôkai, though, Big Mama easily takes the top spot. She manages to look reasonably friendly and totally monstrous at the same time, which fits her sly, deal-making tendencies. Oh, and bonus points for being a female monster character with an actually monstrous design in her true form. That's sadly still pretty rare. Her humanoid form is admittedly more inviting and conventionally attractive, but she still has her terrifying shots (like when she alters the terms of her "send Shredder to a prison dimension" deal at the very last moment and puts on a truly wicked grin).

How about we keep the Shredder out of this?? Deal?
