Natsu: Do you wanna play 20 questions?
Lucy: Sure what's your favorite food?
Natsu, laser focused: Triangle. What color hair do you think our kids would have?
Inside of me are two wolves:
-One wants to draw cool/dramatic Epic scenes
-The other one wants to draw stuff like this ⬇️
if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?
I see you, and you are ABSOLUTELY correct
-More Apritello (wait don't leave yet!)
-It doesn't need to be romantic (although they have such a good dynamic I honestly wouldn't mind if they did as long as it was done right)
-but seriously, they're just chaotic together and I need more of that
-Along those lines I also feel like there needs to be more one on one time with April and Leo as well as April and Raph
-Like??
-Both duos are so good and they just don't get enough screen time at all
-Also, I need the turtles + Splinter to actually meet April's parents
-Did I know I needed this until I saw the disaster twins psyched for a nice dinner in their matching sweater vests? No.
-Do I need it now more than ever? Y e s.
-I also need them to actually acknowledge the events of the movie and not just brush past it like it was no big deal. Let it come up later. Let the rest of the turtles be just-barely-noticeably a lot more overprotective when it comes to Leo. Don't tell me they would almost lose him like that and continue letting him be reckless all the time.
-GIVE. ME. MORE. CASEY.
-You CANNOT just add her to the mix and dip like that. I NEED to see how she fits in with the group. Will her and Donnie be completely unhinged together? Absolutely. Will Splinter dote on her like she's his daughter and she'll absolutely love it and swear to make him proud? Probably. Will her and April be an absolute girl boss team together and probably have sleepovers while gossiping about whatever? Y e s. Will she be completely unused to getting positive reinforcement and being part of an actual family who loves her even if she makes mistakes? For sure. But will she adore it? Um, yes!
-Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo Leader Leo
-Will this poor boy be immediately overwhelmed with this responsibility and continuously doubt himself? Yes. But Raph would be giving him tips and pointers the entire time because he KNOWS how stressful it is to keep everyone in line and stop them from getting hurt or worse. Let Leo come to terms with his role and realize he's actually really good at it! Let him be so relieved to finally feel like he has a place on the team and isn't actually a useless screw-up.
-Alternatively, show us how Raph feels about this development! Will he be proud of his little brother for stepping up? Of course! But maybe, just maybe, he goes through some withdrawals? Maybe he has a hard time remembering that he's not in charge anymore and Leo is the one calling the shots. Maybe he feels a little lost on his place in the team now that he isn't the leader. Would his brothers immediately reassure him that he's still irreplaceable and is just as important to the team now as he was before? Yes, but it still might take him some time to get used to that.
-Mikey Magic. Magic Mike. (Jk)
-You really can't tell us Mikey is some powerful mystic warrior and not expect us to want more answers. Can he control it? Or is it fuelled by fear and desperation? Can he learn to harness his power without his brothers absorbing the energy with him? If done correctly, does this potentially open the stage to Mikey being able to time travel whenever he chooses? That could be interesting.
-Soft Shell Donnie
-Maybe it's just my desire for angst, but I think we should see more of Donnie without his battle shell. It would certainly make for more dramatic fight scenes if that vulnerability was exposed more.
Here are a few more minor ones that have zero plot relevance but I just think would be neat:
-Raph should get some sort of pet
-The turtles should occasionally make little chirps and hisses like real turtles do
-April should have a bigger wardrobe
-We should see Mikey actually graffiti something (I know he's the artsy one but have we ever actually seen him paint something??)
-I would love an episode centered around a hatred fueled disaster twin prank war. (Each prank gets progressively more crazy and dangerous until the others have to eventually interfere so they don't kill each other)
-Let Donnie perform a musical number like the absolute theater kid he is (other than a rap?)
-Random, but I also think it'd be funny if Mayhem had a growth spurt and was actually meant to be the size of a tiger. Plus April could ride him into battle like the badass she is.
That's all I could think of for now. Feel free to chime in any ideas you have!
Part 14!
I think that's the end of the episode:)
This part was originally much shorter. But then I saw this post and...ahh...it changed my brain chemistry forever~
Also! Today is a funny date. Because exactly seven months ago, I drew a silly little comic about Leo in a mug. And posted it on Tumblr, thinking it was a little joke I'd forget about the next day~
Part 1
He's trying his best...
Since I've fallen into another fandom pit (this time being Rottmnt) I decided to design some next gen turtles
Donnie's kids are Frankie (after either Benjamin or Roosevelt) and Gale (after Galileo). Frankie is the oldest kid and probably the most self conscious about everything. Gale is the youngest out of the group but she has a bigger attitude then the rest of them combined.
Raph's only kid is Rouge. She's second oldest of the group (only a few days younger than Frankie). She fun and relaxed but doesn't do so well under high stakes pressure. (Also Raph is the MOST overprotective, overwhelmingly affectionate father of the 4 and you can't convince me otherwise. Rouge often acts annoyed when he coddles her but she doesn't really mind.)
Since Leo was (at least 1 of) the arrogant twin(s), it seems only right that he has mischievous twins of his own. Eli and Arch love playing pranks, and enjoy giving good one-liners (However, if Leo is anywhere nearby, they act like they hate one-liners and even go so far as to pretend they don't understand the ones he makes just to get on his nerves.)
(Leo often rants about how arrogant and disobedient the twins are to Raph, but he's seldom any help. In fact, he just silently laughs to himself because karma is sweet)
And finally, Mikey's only child is Naomi. She's sweet, fun and creative like her dad. She's usually the group hype man and has no problem acting different or strange. In fact, she prides herself on it. She can't cook to save her life, but the rest of them always choke down whatever monstrosity she makes because gosh darn it she worked hard and they don't have the heart to tell her the truth.
“THERES A SECOND ONE?!?!?!!”
Remember how a few doodles ago I said Donnie likes PJO? Well this is inspired by me willingly subjecting myself to this movie last night and immediately regretting it. Also this is lowkey dedicated to @pftones3482 cuz i love her
There's just so much I love about this image, like??
Unholy screaming, Leo having quick reflexes my beloved!!!!!
I was so excited for the Percy Jackson trailer to drop and now I can't get over how tiny he sounds!! 🥺 Like, it really puts in perspective how Percy was a literal child risking his neck for the gods.
Anyway I love Walker Scobel and I'm counting down the days till the premiere!
