Basically My Tmnt Experience

How it feels to find a fanfic where your favorite character is going through literally the worst horrors you can imagine

Alrighty, not my best work but here’s some concept art for chapter 12 of the Crescent’s Ascent that came out this morning! (Pathetic is so cute!)

In case you haven’t yet, you can read the fic here 😁

Donatello's Inspirations

Rise Ramblings #91

So, I’ve noticed that Donatello has a habit of being inspired by what he sees and adopting those aspects into himself.

This system of integration is most prevalent when it comes to the people he loves or admires.

Take one of his favorite stims, for instance.  

You don’t have to look too far to find that phrase's source.

He admires and loves his Papa, thus one of his dad’s favorite sayings is one of his favorites as well.

This aspect of incorporation also extends to his beloved heroes.

One of my favorite examples are his signature eyebrows.

He didn’t have them, then he did. We know that he started drawing them on nine years ago (with a sharpie, lol) but I wonder where he got the idea for the eyebrows in the first place…

Before he knew that Lou Jitsu was his father, Donnie had already incorporated the man’s eyebrows into his mask. Therefore, one can argue that the adoption of Lou’s well-coiffed brows was not due to a simple familial bond. Instead, Donnie just wanted to be more like his hero, Lou Jitsu (and thought the brows were cool, lol.)

However, that’s not the only hero Donatello took inspiration from.

I've always wondered what the morning after Lair Games looked like...

Anyway, found this gem of a script in my docs after a certain rottmnt obsession reignited a few weeks ago, and thought it was good enough to make into a little comic. I hate drawing backgrounds, can you tell?

Brock Sonamy 💙❤️💛

BROCK SONAMY (My OC, aka Sonic X Amy fankid):

Father: Sonic the Hedgehog

Mother: Amy Rose

Sister: Rosalyn Sonamy

Honorary Uncle: Miles “Tails” Prower

Honorary Aunt: Cream the Rabbit

Honorary Cousin: Maisie Taiream

Other Honorary Uncle: Shadow the Hedgehog

Bio: Brock has a thirst for adventure, and living life to the fullest. He is always wanting to try new things (and used to drag Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes Maisie along with him. Now she goes willingly) and love seeing new sights and going on new adventures. However, his mother and father both instilled in him a very strong sense that everyone deserves kindness and compassion, and if they bite you back for it then they deserve a second chance. Life is too short to carry grudges, and there is good in everyone.

Featured in my AO3 fanfiction, Sonic Legacy!

lol Sonic Boom ref! This fits perfectly

Surprisingly good Donnie analysis I wrote at like 11 pm (tell me if this makes no sense)

It pisses me off soooooo much when I see Donnie characterised as cold and uncaring towards his brothers rahhhhhhh

Donnie is not cold and uncaring. Especially not towards his brothers. He cares so deeply for them, and would do anything for them. That’s when he becomes cold and uncaring. He would kill for them, and take joy in the idea that he’s protecting them. He cares for them almost masochistically, fixing everything that makes him a liability in comparison to them, before doing the same to them, not once, but twice.

(Couldn’t find the gif from Donnie’s Gifts that I wanted but you get the idea)

He actively jeopardises his relationships with them to keep them safe. To help them become better leaders. To keep them focused.

Donnie cares for them so much, so intensely, that he would change everything about himself and then them just to make sure they’re safe. He would rather die than let them get hurt, but he also would rather see them hurting than dead.

He may act violently towards them at times, and he may be bad at expressing his emotions, but he will never stop fighting for his brothers. Even if it means losing them and himself in the process, even if it means shutting his emotions down and faking the image of not caring. Because if anyone finds out how much he cares, they could use that against him. And that scares him.

sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful

Readers: So do you sneak pieces of your personal experiences into your writing?
