I really hope Tumblr doesn't have a problem with this.

ANYONE KNOW THIS SONG? I saw this trending on TikTok and couldn't think of anything better. (This isn't part of my Au Mutant Apocalypse, it's part of what I consider... canon?)

You know, sometimes I think someone should tell Leo that it's not a good idea to throw your siblings off a really tall building, even though it was a desperate situation.

Something tells me Donnie needed more than an ibuprofen...

I think Donnie would have a field day with the Fugitoid.

are you even an older sibling if your younger siblings don't watch you play video games? based on this iconic photo:

I've been so enjoying folks' #March for Raph fics, but haven't contributed until now, the very last hours of the very last day of Marchness left. In all fairness, though, my Raph-centric fic, Split the Night, will also be April-and-part-of-May-for-Raph, which doesn't sound as good. But it was fun to look over the list tonight to see all the prompts the fic has/will hit:

3) Too Loud

5) Trash Talk

8) Shield

11) Comfort Food

17) Pet Care

19) Black Sheep

21) Sneaking Out

26) Lonely

Thanks to all who dove into these prompts; you've made my March a little sweeter.

chuckles evilly. nice ninja turtle you have there. would be a shame if someone gave it.

March for Raph Day 26: Lonely

Sometimes, just before throwing himself with reckless abandon into another confrontation with Shredder’s endless forces, Raph found himself glancing over his shoulder. What did he expect to see?

(Leo, silently nodding to confirm this course of action. Raph hated that something innate still looked for Leo’s backing.)

Sometimes muscle memory brought his hand to his belt for a shell cell that wasn’t there. Who was he supposed to call?

(Mikey, who had called for days after he left. Raph hated himself for never picking up.)

Sometimes he startled awake with a hoarse “Don—” on his lips and just hated everything.

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

“I have marched six weeks in hell and certify,

It is not fire, devils, dark, or anything,

but boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again,

and there’s no discharge in the war!” 

– Boots, Rudyard Kipling

my coworker be losing his mindd bru anyway guys im done because ive looked at this too many times and lowkey started to hate it. since the trailer audio from "28 years later" went crazy in the editing community a while back i used it to make my tribute to act 1 of my favorite tmnt crossover fic everrr pls go give @saladmix lots of love

but holyyyy what a journey ive NEVER in my life committed this long to a fan project but i literally had to because i need to at least try to do this insane fic justice. it holds sm significance to me and literally helped me progress as an artist (as you'll VERY CLEARLY see by comparing the beginning and end of the vid jfc.) ive never read something this amazing for a fanwork; it functions and has the soul of something official, every chapter down to the word feels so alive and i have no idea how anyone can be so consistent and consistently good. pls give it a read if its your thing and even if its not your thing because by the end of chapter 1 it will be. crazy work

also go watch the 28 years later trailer if you haven't already to see kinda what i was trying to emulate with this animatic so i dont feel like a weirdo pls💔this is not a "traditional" clear storyline based animatic and looking back on it VERY incohesive if you havent read the fic but the girls that get it get it yk.

More turtles are coming your way!

TMNT Road Trip AU

Happy 20th Anniversary to Same As It Never Was...

Here's a little treat from me (@deadpool1763492), @toonzxy, and @joyfuladorable for the special occasion!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63989758/chapters/164143252

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

Raph: Gotta love knitting needles! I can make a scarf, I can make a hat, I can stab someone’s eyes out, I can make mittens…

Don: What was that middle part?

Raph: I can make a hat.

I'll just....leave this here....aaaaand run away... ‼️SPOILERS FOR CASS APOCALYPTIC SERIES‼️ @somerandomdudelmao Youtube: https://youtu.be/2OPr1RJAxZI Read the original amazing web series here: https://www.tumblr.com/somerandomdudelmao/710091900612476928/cass-apocalyptic-series-masterpost?source=share

I really wanted folks to have a visual of the authentically scary Kraang robo-serpents from the Technodrome for the second chapter of my 2012 TMNT fic "Split the Night" (freshly posted!) So shiny! And those nice Charles Bronson jawlines, albeit with creepy angler-fish teeth... These guys have it all!

You know that lackluster Don & Leo reunion handshake? I fixed it.

always thinking about canonically black/blasian turtles 😌

And here we go. For the full experience I would recommend reading while listening to THIS SONG. It inspired a vast majority of the scene as well as the timing, though I fear you'd have to read pretty fast to get to the ending at the same time as the song ends, so uh... good luck! Trigger warnings below:

The Day the Sky Bled Red

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT MASTER POST

Whew. I'm so glad to finally be done with these big updates. After over a year I will finally be able to return to my smaller update format.

Some keen viewers might notice the reuse of certain shots from the series. There is very much intentional, though the reason for this will not be made clear until the ending of the arc.

As of the final shot we are FINALLY back to present-day in the Replica timeline (if it wasn't obvious). I'd drop in a timeline for reference but uh... I maxed out on the Tumblr images. Oh well. Hopefully the context clues were enough to help though!

I do want to take a moment to TED Talk about Raph's ninpo, if that's alright. Unlike his brothers, Raph didn't really spend much time trying to come up with unique ways of using his abilities. Why improve what already worked for him? However, I do think one interesting ability could have come naturally to him over time. I always found his way of mentally connecting with his brothers as "Mind Raph" to be a fascinating joke in the series. They way he could help and communicate with his brothers is something that was always really important to him and I see that ability bleeding into his ninpo. Because of this I feel that his Raph clones were always able to find and reach his brothers no matter the distance. His ability to interact with them at the same time was something he was still learning in the series, like when Mind Raph apologized to Leo for taking a moment too long to respond because he was busy helping someone else. Because of this I see his clones being able to react and communicate independently (kind of like Naruto clones), but are in constant connection to the original source, Raph himself. This made it really easy for Raph to relay information to the brothers, though it was seldom needed since Donnie's ninpo tech normally had that covered. On another note, I also wanted to make a point that whenever one of the brothers died in the bad future timeline, it was when they were separated from their brothers. I always liked in the movie how it wasn't until the brothers worked together that they were able to regain their abilities, confront the Krang, and even open portals to different dimensions. I wanted that lesson to resonate in Replica as well, even if subtly. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk!

The rest of the arc will be a lot less action, but still plenty more emotions. I can't promise that we won't be doing more flashbacks in the future but nothing to the extent of the "Holiday Special." We got a story to get through after all!

Thank you so much everyone for your patience with me as I slowly inch my way through this big story. It means a lot to me! I promise the next update will not be so emotionally draining.

Febuwhump Day 28: Recovery

Whenever he stirred, even for a few moments, the first thing Mikey registered was someone’s hand around his. Sometimes the grip was so fiercely tight, the IV in his dorsum ached; if the shadow at his bedside noticed he was awake, they squeezed even tighter.

A reminder that he still had one good hand to hold.

Sometimes their grasp would go slack, if the shadow was dozing too. Sometimes their fingers trembled with grief. But they never left.

He wouldn’t just leave.

“Donnie…?” Mikey slurred.

A stifled sob. A blue mask could be easily confused for purple in the dark.

Save NYC? Piece of cake!

Intro - next

Oh, my list is REAL short

-- Both/And

The thing I have learned about my brain is it only does one thing at a time, pretty much. I went to a college where you only take one class at a time for 3 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure if that suited me or molded me, but here we are. Thanks for the tag!
