He Felt Ill. He Felt Cold. He Didn’t Feel Anything At All. The Mystic Spear He’d Taken From The Hidden

He felt ill. He felt cold. He didn’t feel anything at all. The mystic spear he’d taken from the Hidden City was buried in the corpse of one of the Foot leaders, the flame on his head gone. Mikey’s eyes were wide and afraid. They all were afraid. -Ghost in the Shell Part 2, Chapter 16/17

The Rise kids are never going to be able to look at Ghost the same ever again. Ghost probably won't be able to look at them either.

Anyway @amevello-blue is hurting my feelings and I had to do something about it. :)

This makes me so happy.

TMNT fan comic of the 2003 Turtles. Raphael and Michelangelo are on a couch. Mikey is sitting on the floor with his knees up, Raphael is lazily slouching on the couch on his right.
Text above them reads *Watching Star Trek DS9*
Mikey: So... why does Sisko keep calling that lady 'Old Man'?
Raph: Mikey, if you're just tryina interupt my show...
Mikey: No seriously!
Mikey turns to look at Raph, who looks annoyed to be interrupted. 
Raph: She's Jadzia Dax. DAX is like a worm alien that transfers between hosts.
Mikey: That sounds like a horror movie!
Raph: It's not, it's a consensual relationship thing. Anyway, Dax used to be in a dude named Curson, so he was Curson Dax, and he was friends with Sisko.
Mikey turns back to the tv, watching wide eyed.
Mikey: So... Dax, like, used to be a dude and now he's a lady? And could be a dude again later?
Raph: Yeah, pretty much.
Mikey: Oh, cool.
Shot changes to in front of the two. Text above them reads *An Episode Later* . Mikey turns slightly, looking a little nevous. 
Mikey: ...Hey Raphie.
Raph looks irritated again, gripping the arm of the couch with one hand.
Raph: What?
Shot changes to a view of the two from above Raph, his face taking up the whole right half of the frame. He looks annoyed. Mikey looks small sitting on the floor on the left. He's staring ahead with big nervous eyes and twiddling his thumbs.
Mikey: Do you think turtles could be like those worms? Like be a dude one day and a lady the next?
Raph: That sounds like a Don question.
Mikey turns to look at Raph. He looks more nervous now.
Mikey: No, like, MUTANT TURTLES. Like if there was a worm in me-- Wait no, if I was a worm-- No, like a turtle in a worm-- Or a worm was in a turtle? Yeah, like maybe I'm just a worm in a turtle!
Raph's gaze softens, his eyes widening.
Shot in front of them again. Raph has leaned forwards, placing his hands on his knees to brace himself. He squints an eye as he looks at Mikey, confused. 
Raph: Come again?
Mikey turns his body slightly to look up at Raph, he's places his hands on his chest as a way to gesture to himself. 
Mikey: Well maybe I'm just like. A worm who doesn't have a gender, but I'm in a mutant turtle!
Mikey turns his head back to the tv, smiling with his eyes closed.
Mikey: Maybe sometimes the turtle is a boy and sometimes it's a girl! Doesn't matter to the worm, it's still a worm!
Raph has folded his arms on his lap, leaning forwards as he looks ahead, a slight smile on his face.
Raph: Right...
Close up on Mikey from below. Raph is over his shoulder, head tilted slightly in question with a smile on his face.
Raph: Does your worm... feel like the turtle's a girl right now?
Mikey grins.
Mikey: I think so?
Shot changes to in front of them. Raph is grinning big and leaning towards Mikey, affectionately rubbing her head. He holds out the remote in his free hand. 
Raph: Alright, sis, is it cool if I put on another episode? So we can talk more about it?
Mikey is beaming with joy, eyes closed, clasping her hands together in front of her face.
Mikey: Yes please!

the year is 2003, you live in the sewers with your brothers, your dad is a literal rat, so you don't have access to a specific kind of language to understand your feelings, but what you do have is star trek. so lets just figure it out from there?

03 mikey is just so..... gender, yknow?

Day two fav episode: Fungus Humungous

honestly there’s many episodes I love and will never tire of watching but this one has some of my fav tropes. We got characters experiencing their fears, hallucinations, awesome little mushroom guys running around!! Also the mushrooms dance solo is literally the best! Lives rent free in my mind tbh

A Kind Comment On My "Turtle Econ 101" Fic Made Me Think About How A Person Might Get To See All The

A kind comment on my "Turtle Econ 101" fic made me think about how a person might get to see all the statues mentioned in the story. It inspired this map... (Man, I love a map!) Visiting them all would be a TASK. They are pretty well scattered across Manhattan.

In order from north to south: 1) Tree of Hope (Mikey) 2) Swing Low: Harriet Tubman Memorial (Leo) 3) Joan of Arc Monument (Leo) 4) Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial (1/2 Leo, 1/2 Mikey) 5) Alice in Wonderland (Mikey) 6) Dante (Don) 7)Rockefeller Center Statues (all Mikey) 8) Needle Threading a Button (Raph) 9) LOVE sculpture (7/8ths Raph, 1/8th Leo) 10) NYC Legend (Casey) 11) Astor Place Cube/ "Alamo" (Don) 12) The Bean Sculpture (Mikey) 13) Fearless Girl (Don) 14) Charging Bull (Mikey) 15) Statue of Liberty (Mikey)

The grit and tenderness of this.

"Bad Dream?"

"Bad dream?"

"Yeah."

"Hm, well are you warm enough?"

"Yeah. Thanks Dee, for everything."

"Of course."

Thinking about the movie and by extension, them again.

Illustration of Tales of the TMNT Angel sliding back with her clawed hand sliding against the floor with her. Her expression is fierce, teeth bared, as she glares ahead of her. Glowing yellow doodles surround her.
Clothes swap of all three TMNT Angels, with 03 Angel in Tales' clothes, IDW Angel in 03 clothes, and Tales Angel in IDW clothes. They glare up at the camera ready to fuck shit up.
Redesign of TMNT 2003 Angel to be more visibly POC. She is Afro Latina with black 4c hair that she eventually dyes purple and styles into long locs with gelled baby hairs. Her Purple Dragon's fit is essentially the same except with a black under shirt and a wallet chain. Her Post-Dragons fit has her hair back in a single ponytail with a pink bandana and a purple turtleneck under her blue green hoodie. Her First Vigilante fit is a light blue green hoodie with the left arm ripped off and a purple bandana covering the lower half of her face as she has a black baseball bat bag slung over her shoulder.

An Abundance of Angels (I'm so hyped for Tales Angel, she's already so important to me)

I am just reveling in this artist's "extended stay au" in which Don sticks around in the SAINW timeline for YEARS before re-apparating back home with his family. Oh, man. I cannot get enough. Gratitude to yellowhollyhock for reblogging this into my life.

I absolutely love the 2003 turtle designs, they’re so sturdy and shaped <3 But I do think their lack of individuality is bit of a downside that later iterations have handled better. So for the past few months I’ve been working on and slowly figuring out my own take of their designs. It’s not a I fixed and made it better and more of a my headcanon for their bodytypes/ how I like to draw them /just having fun with character designs type of thing.

Down below I’ll go at lenght into my design process and include individual character notes plus sketches.

Fanart For T33la’s Lovely Fic, Flipbook. Please Give It A Read! It’s An Achingly Warm Exploration
Fanart For T33la’s Lovely Fic, Flipbook. Please Give It A Read! It’s An Achingly Warm Exploration

fanart for T33la’s lovely fic, Flipbook. please give it a read! it’s an achingly warm exploration of a much-needed conversation post-SAINW, and is filled to the brim with evocative prose and dialogue. ^_^

[Image ID: A two page digital comic with a painterly rendering style. The color scheme transitions from dark blues and purples at the top to a red orange color at the bottom.

Page one: The upper portion centers a far away planet earth with clouds swirling around it. The clouds expand and show sketches of different scenes from the story. The first scene in the top left is of Donny working at his cluttered desk with a thoughtful expression, chin resting on one hand and a pen in the other. He works on a small drawing attached to a pegbar. The second scene in the top right shows a paper airplane flying in front of a dark sky. The third scene shows Mikey reaching down between machinery and pipes to grab the flipbook with a curious and somewhat awed expression. The fourth scene shows Donny and Mikey lying on the floor and hugging tightly, both looking like they're crying. The fifth scene shows a memory from the future. Mikey stands with his shell to the camera, his severed arm barely visible, while Donny stands beside him, looking back with a mournful expression. Their figures are silhouetted against an electric sky. Below all of these scenes, earth moves incrementally closer until it fills the bottom of the page. A balloon flies above it, the string twisting along with the clouds.

Page two: The bright clouds from the previous page extend into this one, crawling down the sides. The top half shows the inside of a helicopter cockpit. Donny and Mikey are huddled together, their masks pulled down around their necks. Donny leans his head against Mikey's shoulder as Mikey thumbs through the flip book, both of them watching it quietly. Below this scene, a humanoid robot in a sketchy pen style stands from a bird's eye view. It looks like the robot has been cut out from a piece of paper and pasted into the scene. It reaches out to hold the balloon string. It's surrounded by patches of grass, sunflowers, and a few large trees that frame the edges of the page. The warm color palette relays a sense of peace. End ID.]

I Was Very Taken By This Moment In @punctuated-equilibrium's Aka T33la's Latest Chapter Of The Abyss

I was very taken by this moment in @punctuated-equilibrium's aka T33la's latest chapter of The Abyss Gazes Back Leo collapsing under the grief over everything that has happened, and what he almost made himself do, and Don feeling nothing but gentle concern over his well-being rather than worrying about his own fate.

My two favorite obsessions... TMNT and also tea.

A fan comic for TMNT 2003, drawn digitally in black and white. Panel 1: April leans forward out of her bed to turn off her beeping alarm clock, with her back facing the viewer. Slats of light fall on her bed from an unseen window. Panel 2: April opens her bedroom door, rubbing her eyes blearily. A robotic voice reads, "And the weather for today will be..." Panel 3: April looks into her apartment, messy with trash and dishes. Splinter is sitting on the couch and three of the turtles can be seen sleeping in the background. Splinter says with a smile, "Ah, good morning, Miss O'Neil." In smaller text, he says, "If you don't mind, please keep quiet, as the boys are still sleeping." Panel 4: A shot of April's TV, which shows thunderstorms on the forecast, and her bookshelf. From off screen, April says, "Oh... sure. How long have you been awake? The sun only just rose." Splinter replies, "Merely a few minutes." April says, "Uh, would you like tea?" Then in smaller text remarks to herself, "What do I talk about...? I didn't think anyone'd be up."
Page 2 panel 1: Splinter smiles, saying, "That would be wonderful, Miss O'Neil." Panel 2: April turns to look at him with a smile, saying, "I told you, you can just call me April." Panel 3: April turns her back to look in her pantry, muttering, "Okay, tea..." Panel 4: The inside of April's pantry is drawn in greater detail, relatively empty with the exception of a few staples. A tea box with a Lipton like design shines near the top. Panel 5: April stands before the pantry with a thoughtful expression, thinking, "Oh... I probably shouldn't have even offered. Splinter isn't going to want some shitty bagged tea. What's worse, he won't even complain." The next few panels are narrow and dark, indicating time passing as April sets a kettle on the stove then pours water into a mug.
Page 3 Panel 1: A close up of April's feet as she walks, one of the turtles sleeping on the floor in the background. Panel 2: April hands Splinter a mug of tea with both hands, saying, "Here." Splinter thanks her. Panel 3: April goes to sit down at a makeshift cardboard box table, saying, "Sorry it's nothing fancy. If you don't like it, just let me know. Oh, and it's hot--" Panel 4: April cuts off as the panel closes in on SPlinter immediately taking a sip, looking content. Panel 5: Splinter says, "There is no need to look so concerned, April. The tea is delicious." April replies, "Oh, good."
Page 4 panel 1: Splinter says, silhouetted against a white background, "I've found that few things in life are more precious..." Panel 2: He continues, "than tea shared with others, regardless of the brew or it's quality..." A scene of him and the turtles drinking tea from yunomi plays out. Donny sits ponderously, muttering, "I miss coffee..." Leo smiles and holds a teapot. Mikey is spitting his tea out, saying, "Yuck!" Raph sips his tea, hunched over and silent, looking grumpy but not complaining. The next three panels continue Splinter's dialogue: "In a cup borrowed from someone dear to you." Someone, presumably Leo form the previous scene, pours tea into Splinter's cup. Next, April and Splinter raise their mugs in the present, Splinter's mug having been revealed to have the text "I heart NYC". Finally, an old traditional teaset sits on a platter. It's the same set that Splinter and the turtles were drinking from. The words "For Yoshi" are etched into the tray. Only one of the five yunomi are filled with tea.

(stumbles out of a dark room covered in blood) guess who just drew this four page comic in one! day! because i forgot @tmnt-splinterweek started today. this one is for the prompt "tea"!

Art I cannot stop looking at...

Spoiler warning for the fics To Fit the Crime and Scrambled

Epilogue art for @punctuated-equilibrium's To Fit the Crime + triceraton character designs and doodles related to my fic Scrambled

(See my Cover and Prev Chapter art >>HERE<<)

Illustration of a scene from the Epilogue of To Fit the Crime by T33la. TMNT 2003 Leo and Mikey sit in front of a table holding a pomegranate bonsai. The scene in Leo's room is bathed in the blue of an overhead ultraviolet lamp that shines directly over the bonsai. In the background are shelves of books and gardening tools, with the lower shelf holding the sword Usagi gifted Leo for Christmas, and on the walls are art scrolls and a framed group picture. Leo has his body turned towards Mikey who is focused morosely on the bonsai tree. Leo looks concerned and has a hand rested atop one of Mikey's as Mikey thinks of Xania.
Doodled triceraton character design page covered in notes. Xania, an adolescent golden scaled tricerton in a silver coat over green and brown gardening clothes, stands calmly with a hand over her chest. She has on modest metal jewelry and a temporary eye tattoo shaped like a flower. At the top right is a profile of Senator Avada, an aged dull gold triceraton in marron and gold robes, bedecked in ostentatious golden jewelry, and a eye tattoo of the triceraton symbol. Her expression is wrinkled and displeased. On the bottom right is Counselor Mardoon, a large brown scaled Triceraton with purposefully blunted horns and wearing a heather colored tunic and a genial smile on his face.
Another doodle page. At the top left is Tevel, a golden brown scaled triceraton wearing blue fleece and sporting a small cheek scar and a minimal amount of simple jewelry. At the bottom left he makes a terrible Big Brother Joke as he throws an arm over Xania's shoulders as she laughs. At the top is M'ava, a bright yellow triceraton with floral jewelry and wearing a mauve turtleneck that matches her curling eye tattoo. To the right of her is a tiny doodle of her and Xania having an animated conversation at a cafe table. Taking up the bottom middle is Vatch, an ashy brown and weathered triceraton covered in scars and wearing a red and black  paramedic uniform. Their horns are damaged, and they hold their hands up in peace saying "Ah, forgive my manners." And taking up the right is Guarzik, a large dog-sized alien bat with a green ribbon around her collar, sitting atop a pleased Mikey's shoulders as he says "She's perfect!" Another doodle shows that she Loves chin skritches.

Bonus page of my first time drawing triceratons:

Digital doodle practice page of triceratons in red pen
Cover page for the fic To Fit the Crime by T33la. TMNT 2003 Mikey with his mask around his neck and the tails drifting off in the wind. He stands in profile with his hands clasped in front of his chest and his head tilted up as tears drip down his face. Upside down in profile is a young triceraton woman with yellow skin and wearing a silver coat and jewelry as she rests her hands on her chest while a single tear flows from the corner of her eye.  Her tail curls behind Mikey with the tip pointed towards the back of her head. Behind them, a swirling scape of stars while the space between them fits the title and author in red letters.

To Fit the Crime by T33la/@punctuated-equilibrium --- "You won’t do your brother any good by resorting to your barbarous Terran habits. You see, Michelangelo’s sentence has already been carried out.”

Truly an 03 Mikey-centric murder mystery fic worth screaming about on the rooftop! PLEASE give it a read before you look at the other art to avoid spoiling the twists & turns!

Spoiler warning for the fic To Fit the Crime by T33la
Chapter 1. A holographic screen shows footage of a sky train platform and a yellow triceraton seemingly being pushed in front of a moving train by TMNT 2003 Mikey. In a dark room shadowed in blue, Leo, Don, and Raph are tense and seated at a table as they watch the footage. Professor Honeycutt stands behind Raph looking distressed. Two Triceraton guards stand on either side of the turtle looking on stoically.
Chapter 2. An unconscious Mikey, with his mask rested against his neck, is surrounded by his brothers as they focus on the three metal discs embedded into the side of his head. Don gingerly cradles Mikey's face as Leo asks "Don?" and Don replies with "I...I don't know."
Chapter 3. Mikey sobs in his brothers' arms as they hold him with tears in their eyes as Mikey babbles "Missed you. Missed you so much. Didn't know if I'd never see you again. If they'd" before the words get cut off in the image.
Chapter 4. Panel one opposed panel two, with Don and Raph standing on either side of Mikey as he looks down at the floor while in the opposite panel an elderly golden triceraton in maroons and golds, Senator Avada, gestures imperiously in her seat with a triceraton guard stationed beside her. Avada says "And so this is the kind of imprisonment that awaits those who have shed the blood of my family?" Raph points at her aggressively and says "Listen, lady. Ya got no right to waltz in here and start blamin' us."
Chapter 5. In a dark room blanketed in purple, Mikey coughs roughly, trembling with tears in his eyes, as he tries to shake Donnie awake in the bed. Donnie is out cold, face in shadow and arm dangling over the edge of the bed. Mikey coughs as he says "Hey, Don? Donnie? You gotta wake up! Something's wrong!"
Chapter 6. Walking through a grove of red trees, Donnie tries to subtly lead Mikey away from the triceraton guard following behind them. Mikey looks distressed as he says "She cried! Remember? Back in the room... She cried about Xania!" And Don replies "I'm sorry, Mikey. I'm so sorry, but Avada calling out the hit on Xania is the only thing that makes sense."
Chapter 7. Blanketed in red and surrounded by dark foliage, Mikey grips a big branch in clenched fists as he grits his teeth and stands protectively in front of Don who is on the ground on his side, the bottom left side of his shell cratered by blaster fire.
Chapter 8. Mikey, covered in small band-aids and flanked by Counselor Mardoon and Leo, confidently addresses Avada who glares and bares her teeth at him as she is held back by two of Traximus' guards. Mikey says "You're a coward. She would never forgive you. Not for the Republic, and not for herself. I'm glad I have her memories now, because you don't deserve them."
