So, I started drawing the 2012 ninja turtles and realized that if the Mutant Mashup Au is a mix of both the 2012 and Rise iteration of ninja turtles, then I should probably combine their art styles when I draw them. It sounds fun but I'm not sure whether or not I should make the boys look more like the 2012 or Rise art style.
Should I give the Rise boys more chonky legs and upper arms or slim down the 2012 boys to look more human?
Then again, this is just a silly au with lots to figure out. The difference could be explained away as simply as "the 2012 boys just mutated differently" or "Draxum used a variation of the ooze when creating the Rise Boys." Both @possumsarenice and I agree that Draxum was the one to mutate both sets of Hamato's, not the 2012 Kraang, but that makes me wonder if he mutated all of them at once.
Putting a cut here in case you aren't a fan of large bodies of text.
Draxum would have no reason to capture Yoshi unless he did his research and figured out Lou had an older brother. It just so happened that Yoshi bought his turtles when Draxum went to capture him, in place of Yoshi encountering the Kraang in canon. (I think Draxum went to capture Yoshi himself and sent Huginn and Muninn to get Lou. He had little info. on what to expect from Yoshi so Draxum got pretty roughed up I think.)
Alternatively, Draxum had planned to use Yoshi as a guinea pig of sorts BEFORE he did anything to Lou and the Kraang started hunting Yoshi soon after he escaped with four freshly mutated baby turtles in tow. To someone like Draxum using Yoshi first would make sense as he was older and would be considered "less of a threat" than Lou. We all know that isn't the case but Draxum sure didn't.
If all the Hamato's mutated at once, then Yoshi and Lou would meet up a whole lot sooner and be forced to tolerate and live together like they used too. It opens the door to sooner healing and less misunderstandings because in this Au Yoshi and Lou are NOT on good terms. This is due to how they perceived each other's reaction to their mother's death.
Lou saw Yoshi still following the Hamato teachings, even though those teachings stole their mother away, and believed Yoshi was unfazed, he considered Yoshi heartless. Yoshi believed that Lou turning his back on the Hamato clan meant he turned his back on their mother and family, that's why he considered Lou a disgrace.
Lou would see his mother's death the same way he saw it in canon, an unnecessary sacrifice. (At least until he realized the great evil behind the seal was real.) Meanwhile, Yoshi would likely see his mother's death as an act of heroism. Lou resented the Hamato clan for years because the duty they carried was one that took away one of the people Lou loved most. Yoshi, on the other hand, understood the sacrifice and what it meant. He hated it, but he understood that his mother only wanted to protect her family, and the world, from the Dark Armor.
Yoshi knew that his mother's final act was one of love. Love for her sons, love for her family, love for the Earth itself.
Both learned a lesson that day. Lou learned that the burden of saving the world is one that will consume everything, leaving you with nothing but the broken pieces of a once happy life before you had the chance to really grow up. Yoshi learned that loss is a painful but necessary sacrifice to save everyone, to protect everyone. To him "it doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, what matters is that you carry it."
Ah yes. Caine and Abel meeting a new fellow.
(the new guy is my sister's version of Abel)
Caine is excited, Abel is nervous.
One more thing about this AU that imma do here is just call the boys using their nicknames. I just like saying DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni. I think those names are fun.
Also thought of what other fun nick names the Rise boys would give their cousins.
Blue (Rise Leo): Vinnie, Vin, Cici, Vincent, Sanni D, Zio, Zizi, Nic, Nico, Colo loco, Momo, Nini, Simon and Simo
Orange (Rise Mikey): Vinnie, Vin, Zio, Sanni, Nico, Nici, Simsim, Nini, and Momo
Purple (Rise Donnie): Vinci, Davin, Sanzio, Zio, Zizi, Niccolo, Nico, Niconacci, Simoni, Sim, Oni and Momo
Red (Rise Raph): Vin, Davi, Sanni, Zio, Nico, Nic, Simon and Momo
(Opposite Jax from campbell_soup70 on insta)
I like to think his ears are droopier than canon Jax, sort of like a lopearred rabbit.
Alright, I love chapter 3 from Poppy playtime but dear God does it have some dark implications that I'm going to mention here. Please scroll if you're sensitive to that kinda stuff.
Spoilers:
There's pictures of children all over Home Sweet Home, including baby pictures. I'd like to hope for the best and just assume that the scientists working there waited until the babies were older before experimenting on them (Like experimenting on children isn't any less dark), but the developers did say that this would be the darkest chapter so far.
There are, in fact, smaller versions of the Smiling Critters that stalk the halls of the Playplace, and crawl around on all fours. They don't even speak, just make animalistic noises like growls and whimpers, even giggling. Very unlike the other Bigger Bodies Initiative, who can all speak normally. The children used in those experiments would be able to talk and walk without much help, but babies? Babies who haven't yet learned or developed enough to do any of that? Babies who would be just the right for the smaller Smiling Critters?
If this is true and babies were used to create the smaller Smiling Critters, then this game somehow got darker than Fnaf real quick.
Something a little different
Cult of the Lamb has been peaking my interest lately and wanted to shove my favorite brother sister duo into it.
I wanted to draw Rock and Roll as the Lamb and the Goat respectively, but their regular hair colors just looked off so I left them with white and gray hair.
Also, yes I did chop off a lot of Roll's hair, what of it?
I think at some point I'll swap them so that Rock has his regular hair color and Roll has her blonde hair back. Of course it'll be like a platinum blonde but whatever.
Happy Anniversary FNAF
Thanks Scott!!
All right so @billiam-shakespeare has a TMNT au that has Venus raising the Rise boys which has given me the motivation to talk about my own Mom Venus Au.
I actually thought about this AU for a little while before learning about billiam's AU (sry didn't want to tag you twice my dude). Anyway, the AU takes place in the 2012 series. Venus began life as a regular red eared slider that was taken care of by a young woman who's well versed in the art of magic. Venus had a different name too, Mei Phei Chi, and was taken in by the woman because she was lonely.
The woman was happy when she found out Mei Phei Chi had been carrying eggs and had gone to the local vet to see what she had to do to help the turtle. There she encountered the Kraang and a man named Hamato Yoshi. Unfortunately, both got captured and were taken in for experimentation. Hamato Yoshi had been the lab rat for mutagen testing, transforming into a rodent while the Kraang used the woman's blood to gain access to magic.
The Kraang had only taken Mei Phei Chi and her clutch because they were with the two humans at the time. When they realized they could combine the humans skills, the Kraang got the idea to use these turtles as soldiers and mutated the mother soon after she laid her eggs. Mei Phei Chi had more than 8 eggs in that clutch, yet only 4 were good enough for the Kraang.
Eventually, everyone escaped and the woman had used a spell to hide everyone under the sewers of New York, turning the tunnels into a labyrinth. With the threat of capture lurking, she had asked Yoshi to watch over the turtles and teach them how to disappear. The woman would remain topside and bring food and furniture underground to the Hamatos. She would also teach magic to the turtles and encouraged Mei Phei Chi to give herself a new name now that the slider was no longer a pet.
Now that the sewers were more expansive, Venus had dedicated a small room to her lost children. While she may grieve over what she could have had, Venus still very much loves the children she has now and does her best to make sure the boys feel loved.
This is probably mean but damn. I was already having a bad day I really didn't need this at Peter Piper of all places.
i like a lot of things. fair warning, I have very sporadic updates. worry not, I'm not dead.
