New Cradlesong Leo animatic

Sorry for not posting about CS for a while !! Let me know if you guys want the document with all the current info on CS since I'm terrible at explaining and regularly posting BUT ANYWAY explanation below!

CWs for following: kidnapping, child abuse

This specific animatic is just about Leo getting the scars that he covers up with red paint. Basically, in the fight that leads to Shredder taking the turts while escaping, he and Splinter get badly injured and permanently scarred. He loses his mind over this because it's a reminder of how weak he is. Therefore, the turtles are also constant reminders of that day. Leo takes the brunt of his mental instability during his healing process after mistaking Shredder for Splinter. This marks the first punishment given to the boys only a few days after being taken.

Desperado

Finally posting about an actual event in the story WOW UNHEARD OF!!! Starting with Leo's arc/Story I: Desperado

This is NOT fully written yet so I'll put this old version I wrote a while ago until it's rewritten HOPEFULLY IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE!!

Splinter plots to rescue the boys after finding out they're alive due to a failed sneak out attempt from Mikey after Leo's birthday goes extremely wrong. He learns where they’re being kept with the Shredder and can finally get his boys back after years of depression and inaction.

Leo chooses to stay behind with the Shredder while his brothers escape with Splinter. His brothers make it to safety without him and Leo begins to plot something not so good while Shredder begins to put heavy pressure on him to keep his obedience in shape. Meanwhile–his brothers want to stay where they know they’re safe, but Raph’s tweaking and plots to get Leo back by any means necessary. Enter Karai who he believes Shredder truly loves and begins to plot on threatening her life in exchange for Leo. He secretly would’ve killed her even if Leo accepted this to make Shredder suffer. Casey should be here somewhere but ask him not me

Shredder, believing Leo to be his pawn through and through, plans on using Leo to kill the brothers so that they’d never know life without Shredder; but Leo’s already decided on betraying Shredder to keep his brothers safe and plans a double suicide with a bomb to take them both out without a chance of failure. His brothers and Splinter, who broke in to enact Raph's plan, stop this move but, in turn, Shredder survives the initial explosion. Leo is injured in the explosion but alive and as the room crumbles around them, his brothers are separated from Leo and Splinter, instead being taken by Shredder. Leo, too distracted in trying to get to his brothers and trying to save them from Shredder’s advance (#theviewfromhalfwaydown), falls off the edge and WINDOW CURSE STRIKES AGAIN. Splinter, in making sure Leo is alive, loses sight of Shredder and his other boys. And then there were 2. End: Desperado, Begin: En Prise

Cradlesong Rasey

Yes Rasey is real in this because im still only human

Casey intro:

A rebellious older teenager who pummels bad guys at night to quell the need of having control. Uh oh, now he’s captured by the Foot Clan one night for picking fights with the goons! Who would’a thunk!! He gets left alive with only a scar to show for it (THANKS LEO) and dedicates his time to getting back at the Foot Clan. Introduced to Raph through Leo at the end of Story I and get together a few years later.

• Casey comes from a rough home life and can be selfish at times; which extends to his relationship with Raph. He views him as more than a friend and someone unattainable for a while; Casey wants to keep him close so that Raph can’t leave him nor have the ability to hurt him. He doesn't understand why he feels like this towards Raph and therefore acts irrationally towards him a lot. He's possessive in the beginning and has to figure out how to love somebody while allowing them to have control over him as well.

CASEY DOESN'T HAVE A REF YET color scheme to be seen in picture one but that's also when they're in their very last teen years so... take it with a grain of salt

Cradlesong iteration animatic 4/4

Character sheet (Michelangelo)

TWS: child abuse, violence, suicide PLEASE READ AND WATCH WITH CAUTION!

Corresponding animatic (Michelangelo introduction)

Cradlesong is focused on the Shredder raising the boys instead of Splinter after he takes them from their home and trains them to be soldiers. These posts will just contain the individual character intros for now and their animatics!

Michelangelo Intro

The youngest brother of the four at fifteen. He’s extremely active in sneaking out and running away repeatedly. Shredder’s physical abuse does not often reach him and this has caused Mikey to become uncaring of consequences and lax with sneaking out. He badly wants to run from it all–his brother's pain and the fighting, to be free and to do what he wants–but he understands the bond the brothers have with each other, especially his and Donnie’s, is the only thing keeping them alive. He clips his own wings and doesn't leave them. When it comes down to it, he’s the one to realize when things get bad and makes the decision to risk it all and save his brothers.

• The only one out of all his brothers to be able to sneak out as often as he does due to Shredder being uncaring towards him (for being the youngest). He values his family more than anything, though–which helps his decision to stay for them because he knows they can’t leave, whether it be out of fear or compliance.

Cradlesong iteration animatic 3/4

Character sheet (Donatello)

TWS: child abuse, violence, suicide PLEASE READ AND WATCH WITH CAUTION!

Corresponding animatic (Donatello introduction)

Cradlesong is focused on the Shredder raising the boys instead of Splinter after he takes them from their home and trains them to be soldiers. These posts will just contain the individual character intros for now and their animatics!

Donatello Intro

The second youngest brother of the four at fifteen, beating Mikey by months. He is extremely careful of Shredder and is understanding of the danger they're in at all times. He doesn't allow himself to be emotionally vulnerable unless he’s alone or, on occasion, with Mikey. He forces his brothers to be like him–someone who cannot be affected by the abuse and does not hope for anything more. He is the most afraid of Shredder and his punishments. He is aware that emotions cause pain–because his brothers protecting him out of love ends badly every time. The internet is his safe space despite not being allowed to interact with anyone.

• He was on the receiving end of Shredder’s abuse for his childhood due to being the smallest and most often to fail. This, combined with the fact his brothers would get hurt protecting him, makes him extremely terrified of standing up for himself or anyone else. He understands the consequences of their actions and refuses to step out of line.

Cradlesong iteration animatic 2/4

Character sheet (Raphael)

TWS: child abuse, violence, suicide PLEASE READ AND WATCH WITH CAUTION!

Corresponding animatic (Raphael introduction)

Cradlesong is focused on the Shredder raising the boys instead of Splinter after he takes them from their home and trains them to be soldiers. These posts will just contain the individual character intros for now and their animatics!

Raphael Intro

The second oldest of the four brothers at sixteen. He’s outspoken and doesn't hesitate before standing up for his brothers. He takes the brunt of Shredder’s anger and has taken the role of protector. He has a short temper, even with his brothers, and resentment builds up in him like a parasite. He’s opposed to Shredder’s every move and, therefore, opposes Leo a lot of the time. He does not like when anyone makes his brothers upset–and this means he picks fights with his brothers for upsetting any of the other brothers (how many times can I type brother challenge). He likes drawing in his spare time, which he picked up from Leo.

• The resentment builds into his story arc where he regrets protecting his brothers because of the suffering that came with it.

Cradlesong iteration animatic 1/4

Character sheet (Leonardo)

TWS: child abuse, violence, suicide PLEASE READ AND WATCH WITH CAUTION!

Corresponding animatic (Leonardo introduction)

(Finally posting the iteration stuff I've been working on for a few weeks 😭 cue copy and pasted introductionnnn!!!)

Cradlesong is focused on the Shredder raising the boys instead of Splinter after he takes them from their home and trains them to be soldiers. These posts will just contain the individual character intros for now and their animatics!

Leonardo Intro

The oldest of the four brothers at seventeen. He’s reserved and disciplined–compliant with Shredder’s treatment to a fault. He’s the leader of the brothers and makes sure they stay in line and follow Shredder without question, just as he does. He cares a lot about his brothers, closest with Raph, but cannot mend the rift that has grown between them because he cannot see himself changing. He secretly likes to paint landscapes of places he dreams of seeing.

• Leo paints his red markings on to cover noticeable scars on his skin.

Here’s some fanart for @shyalia’s fic, Beast Mode, which I adore. This one almost didn’t make it out of the drafts, because it turns out drawing a Creature is very hard.

You should go read this fic!
