Ghost in the Shell Chapter 26

>> Read here! <<

“Ready for the Lou Jitsu celebrity walking tour of the hidden city?”

“Oh, boy, are we!” Mikey pulled down his shirt to show it off, beaming. It was reminiscent of the “I Heart New York” shirts, but instead of a heart there was just a head.

“We?” Splinter asked. “Oh! You mean the bear!”

He squished the cheek of the bear Mikey had insisted on bringing.

“Isn’t this the cutest little–”

“Hands off, rat,” Draxum’s voice growled from the teddy.

“Draxum?!” Splinter cried, flailing into a fighting stance. “Stay away from my DNA!”

“Shh,” Ghost hissed as Mikey grabbed Splinter’s mouth to silence him. “Don’t talk about him, you’ll get us arrested. Mikey…”

“I wanted to bring him for the family outing,” Mikey said, eyes widening.

“Okay.” Ghost sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Another thing to worry about.

“This is an indignity,” Draxum muttered.

“It’s a family trip, you’re family,” Ghost growled. “Don’t mess it up.”

Ghost in the Shell Chapter 25

>> read here! <<

“My back hurts,” Leo complained. “Donnie, massage me.”

Donnie leaned over and punched him in the shell, sending him toppling off his beanbag chair. Leo yelped and pushed himself back up, pointing accusingly at Donnie.

“Mother, he hurt me!” Leo cried.

“Lies and slander!” Donnie scoffed. “You hath no proof to your claims!”

Leo pointed to Mikey, who blinked and stopped chewing his cheese puffs. “Mikey is my witness. Tell all the truth or choose to meme with the sinner.”

“Neither,” Mikey huffed, turning his nose up. “I choose silence, you heathens.”

“Oh, am I mother?” Ghost asked, looking up from his laptop.

“Who else would be mother?” Leo asked, clambering back up into his bean bag and swatting at Donnie, who swatted back.

“Donnie, don't punch your brother in the shell,” Ghost said.

“How can his back hurt when his shell is completely solid?” Donnie asked. “He should be massaging my back.”

“Alright, c’mere!” Leo pounced on Donnie, shoving him down onto his face and slapping at his battle shell.

“Mother!” Donnie wailed.

Ghost in the Shell Chapter 24

Read >here!<

Ghost moved over to the pile of sketchbooks, pencils, markers, pastels and paints that were piled into the corner around a huge, worn beanbag chair. If Mikey wasn’t out spray-painting the sewers or making murals on the walls, he was in right here sketching about it.

Ghost had vaguely recalled his own Michelangelo doing something similar, recently. It was a faint memory, something that just kept slipping out of his grasp. A costume, or something, and it had been so silly that they’d all laughed and teased him for it. It had turned into Turtle Titan, which Ghost hadn’t considered a good idea.

Now that he was older, he could appreciate the hope his brother had that the world could be fixed with superheroes and some cheesy one-liners.

He wondered if Michelangelo still dressed like Turtle Titan and went around saving people. Maybe he’d been able to get praise for it.

Ghost brought himself out of the thought with a slow breath. He focused on the colors of Mikey’s drawings as he grabbed a sketchbook, the texture of the beanbag, the–

Ghost lifted the speaker.

Beneath it was a messy, scribbly sketch of him.

He was stabbing the Foot Brute.

He was covered in blood.

He was standing on bodies, looking down at the viewer with a white eye and no mask at all.

Another page beneath it.

He was mutated, lip curled, claws cracking the earth.

He was pierced with spears.

Ghost in the Shell Chapter 23

Read <here!>

“What the shell is that?” Donnie asked as he stared across his complex sandwich assembly line at the glass in Ghost’s hand.

“Juice,” Ghost said, tilting the wine glass. “Apple.”

“I mean the glass.”

“Oh. Mikey gave it to me.” Ghost lifted up the glass higher, showing off the dinosaur wrapped around its stem. He’d snickered at it and Mikey had practically floated out of the room with joy. “It’s a spinosaurus.”

“Not an accurate one,” Donnie said, flipping his goggles down to eye the glass.

“No,” Ghost admitted. “But I like it. There’s two more as well, with a brontosaurus and a stegosaurus.”

“Excellent choices."

[bluepeachstudios]

I want everyone to know that my first note for this chapter was this

You're one of my favorite TMNT fanfic writers (you may or may not be a huge inspiration when it comes to my own fix ,I am working on a very ambitious Nexus rise AU and your works is helping out with that) I read multiple of your works at least once a year, and right now I'm in the middle of my reread of Ghost in the Shell, and I have to ask because ghost doesn't let Leo practice his mystic abilities because of his fear of portals but I've also noticed that a lot of moments in the show where Leo gets them out of trouble via his wits for example the Minotaur maze ,where he's the one that comes up with the lie that lets free still in the cheater, but still free and there's several other moments I've noticed wrinkled throughout the Fic, and I just wanted to know if that was intentional? Like yes, Ghost is helping them , they're more competent fighters in their Canon versions but also that his overprotectiveness is harming them in different ways. Sorry for the long asked I am a rambler as you can tell.

The long ask is fine! :D

Ghost's overprotectiveness is not always positive, yes. Leo doesn't make a lot of the same "practice mistakes" he makes in the show, but honestly? The kids (including Leo) will practice their mystics anyway. Donnie's the only one who doesn't really get into it until later.

Leo, like most teenagers, just learned to not make portals while Ghost is around. Instead he does them when he's by himself or with just his brothers.

Ghost has probably noticed this, but he gets more confident in Leo's portals and abilities the more Leo uses them successfully.

I just saw someone ask about the forgotten rise episodes and you saying that you weren't going to fit them because ghost in a shell is a very long story but that you were going to conclude some other arcs, does that include the Karai episodes that were cut from season 2, like having her interact more with the Hamato clan and ghost included? I'm so sorry if somebody already asked you about that but I was just wondering because I just thought that her and ghost interacting had a lot of potential.

I've thought about it, honestly. I can't really say what I'm planning to do with Karai yet! I have a pretty clear path for after the movie, and up to the season one finale. I have some specifics of the movie ironed out. I've basically got the big idea down, but I have to figure out some smaller stuff and how I want to work things into the story.

Part of it is sticking to the theme of the story, which is heavily based around loss and grief and moving on and how people can help you heal, even when it's painful and you have to do a lot of it on your own.

I'm kind of rambling a little, sorry--

I'm not planning on doing any of the cut episodes, but Karai may or may not have more "screen time", as it were. I'm starting to work on the Hidden City trip the family takes, and after that it's just The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle (this one will be fun) and then!! Battle Nexus New York and the finale. I'm very close to the end! Once I start on Battle Nexus New York I'll have a clearer idea of what I'm doing with Karai.

[bluepeachstudios]

sorry if this has already been asked, but are you gonna pick up any unused rise episodes for gits? Like Donnie and his pumpkin that comes to life or Mikey and the jellyfish mutant that turns his brothers (or maybe ghost :eyes:) into toddlers

I actually thought about doing this, but GitS is already so long and I still have the rest of the season and the movie to do. I've thought about completing the main story then doing a sort of side story where there are all the little chapters of episodes that could have happened, or how certain episodes happened in GitS universe that I couldn't make enough of a chapter about.

Idk! depends on if people are interested in seeing those episodes in particular, I guess.

Ghost in the Shell Chapter 22

Read here!

“Ghost will tell you!” Donnie pointed. “He uses tech all the time!”

“I do,” Ghost admitted. “But I also know how to get myself out of a situation if I don’t have anything on me. You guys have never done any sort of weapon swap training, have you?”

“Swap weapons?” Leo scoffed. “Why would we do that? I’m sword guy, Donnie’s stick guy, Mikey is stick and ball guy, Raph is two sticks guy–”

“You don’t know how to use one another’s weapons,” Ghost said. “Me and my brothers learned that early on, because we’d trained with each weapon before deciding which one we were specialising in. We started with nunchucks, went up to bo staff, then to sai, and finally the katana. Then we specialized.”

Raph looked uneasily at his tonfa. “Should we be using those weapons instead?”

“No, there’s no reason to. Tonfas are defensive weapons just like sai are. The kusari fundo requires just as much control and precision as the nunchucks. Donnie has a bo staff with some fancy additions, and… well. An odachi is still a sword, even if it is wielded differently. Besides that, Leo’s sword isn’t even an odachi, it isn’t shaped correctly–”

“Blah blah blah,” Leo cut him off. “What are you getting at, Peepaw?”

“If you came across a situation where, say, a robot had scanned your fighting styles and knew that you used the sword. It can defeat you because it’s analyzed every aspect of your fighting style. So you need to swap weapons with Donnie, so you can trick it. Can you use his tech-bo?”

Leo gave him a concerned look. “That was oddly specific.”

Ghost shrugged slightly. “Stuff happens, kid.”

“Why were you fighting a robot–”

“That is it!” Splinter cried, interrupting them. “We are going to the woods!”

Another @weeklymagmas piece! This week's theme was "Teenage Mutant Ninja ???" so of course I took the opportunity to draw the AU I've had forever which is just them as rabbits. Master Splinter is a Japanese ratsnake (aka aodaishō; "blue general").

Leo is an English lop, Donnie is a continental giant, Raph is a Netherland dwarf, and Mikey is a cinnamon rabbit. Age order is Donnie -> Mikey -> Raph -> Leo. Leo's actually taller than Raph (5'3") but next to Donnie he looks so small cause Donnie is freakin MASSIVE (6'4").

[bluepeachstudios]

I went on @weeklymagmas for the LGBTQIA+ theme and drew my boys!

Usagi is bisexul biromantic, Leo is demiromantic asexual.

This is the Leo and Usagi from The Tortoise and the Hare, a Leosagi fic I did forever ago <3
