Honestly I've Seen A Lot Of "12 Donnie Is Afraid Of Rise Donnie" But For Once I Just Really Wanna See

Oh btw I've opened up my ask box! I'm probably leaving it open for the time being so feel free to stop by

Currently watching TMNT 2012 (again), and I'm on the episode where Karai gets mutated, S2 Ep. 21 "Vengeance is Mine"

Shredder mentioned the mutagen wasn't meant for Karai to be mutated into a serpent, but for the turtles. And honestly- I'm kinda curious to see what would've happened if the turtles did get double mutated.

I honestly think it would be cool to see them as half turtle, half serpant mutants. Feel like they would have looked awesome af.

And since Karai can switch between forms, perhaps the turtles could've as well. And since Karai is immune to retro-mutagen, they probably would be as well. All that stuff.

Idk- free au idea for anyone who wants to use it lmao (if it's not already a thing).

I don't draw the rise turtles nearly as often as I should

You ever just draw fanart for your own fic that you haven't even finished writing yet

A very messy "comic" about Donnie, Casey, and their potentially unhealthy codependency on each other- 🖤💜

I'm so sorry for the way this looks, but this week and next week are going to be pretty hectic for me, and I didn't know when I would get to post again-! So I just wanted to finish something before the week began-! 😭👍

I'll definitely do more (And objectively better-) art of this concept in the future, but I really really enjoy the concept of Donnie starting out as the very unhealthily invested one out of the two of them and that behavior kind of imprinting on Casey in a way? Or even if it wasn't imprinting, it's possible that Casey started to mirror these behaviors because of his own insecurities and issues (i.e. Struggling with parental neglect and being abandoned frequently-), not to mention the fact that Donnie made him feel safe to do so- You know what I mean? Which in turn would cause Donnie to begin having this self-reflection or epiphany about their relationship and his role to play in this current dynamic (With the help of Raph, since I feel like he would very bluntly point this out- But out of love, of course-),, Thus leading Donnie to break up with Casey. 😔

But I also like the concept of this breakup, because of the contrasting perspectives both of them have with it. From Donnie's perspective, he's trying to do better and do right by Casey. Donnie now knows / fully understands that enabling this kind of relationship between them was bad, and he's trying to rectify that mistake by giving them both the space and time that they need to heal from any damage that was caused. But from Casey's perspective, he feels like he's being punished for finally having the courage to be vulnerable and let his walls down- For giving in to the security that Donnie provided in this relationship,, it's really sad, but it's also really interesting to think about to me because I hate joy- /j LMAO

lmao at this point we should just start having mock tmnt au conventions, not competitions just silly gatherings

just put all aus in a big room and let them run amok

maybe some of the aus can sell some merch from their aus, all the Mikeys selling art and taking commissions, Donnies are all trying to out build each other

panels on what to do in certain aus like "What To Do If Your Mutant Turtle Brother Goes Feral" or "Apocalypse Survival 101" or "Defenstration and You"

separated au therapy sessions, play areas for any tots that come along, April O'Neil meetup, an arcade room of course some of these kids desperately need to be socialized lol

WOAW! two Salem...the boys

I don't think we talk enough about how the 2012 Kraang are literally responsible for the creation and evolution of the human race
