MasterPost?

Ngl, not sure how these work, but I figure I ought to with the babies I’m curating.

I write fics on ao3, and any art I do goes on tumblr (: as of right now, I focus only on tmnt (mainly rise but like, I love them all.)

RotTMNT

Plague of Our Minds

This is a fic on ao3 with a few doodles I have done for it on tumblr. Fic link here. (This is just the link to the tumblr post with a link abt it, cause I can’t find a way to do it without that poster thing showing up too. my b)

POM is a crossover fic between 2003tmnt, 2012tmnt, bayversetmnt, and rottmnt, set in the ‘12 universe. It’s told explicitly through the 3rd person pov of the Donatellos. TW for ptsd from invasions, all the dons being kinda screwed, medical inaccuracies, and crappy depictions of injuries. There are probably more, I’ll add them on the fic itself.

Doodles:

1, 2(this one could count as a pseudo cover), 3(most of the doodles have relevance to the fic), 4, 5, 6(minor ref sheet), 7(this occured in chapter 4)

CarriedSouls AU

The CSau pulls some design references from the 2012 turtles, but is based in the Rise turtles time. It’s a timeline adjacent to after the invasion. The souls of the turtles, April, and Casey from the apocolypse were sent back to the past and bound to a new generation of turtles and a couple humans. Their ages are based on when the died (Casey died first in this, so her human is the oldest, Raph died first in terms of turtles, so his turtle is the oldest.) It’s straight up just a silly timeline with mostly happy turtles and their two human friends.

ref sheets: Tipu, Dusha, Seele, Anima, Aaron, Cato

doodles: 1, 2, 3(technically followup to the first minicomic)

Mini comics: 1

Where I Don’t Belong (?)

not really an AU yet, maybe never will be, but here is the few mini comics for it, and a little back ground.

it is set 10 years after the invasion, and at this point the family has somewhat split up. Most of them keep in touch and what not but aside from Raph and April, they don’t live together. Uhhh includes Draxum, Sunita, both Caseys, Hueso, and Hueso jr. (and also one of the old scouts Casey was in charge of that she kinda adopted? The girl won't show up much and I haven't really given her a name either so eh)

Comic, 2, 3

Eridian oc idea I've had for a while, cause all the eirdian ocs i see are adorable. I dont have a name for them yet, but they look like a bass guitar, and i have this odd feeling that Grace would probably name them after some famous bass palyer.

Drew them at work cause im bored (its kinda a shitty depiction sorry)

They're, in human years cause im to tired to estimate that to eridian years, about like 15? And made of Scolecite (if i spelled that right) so they're mostly white in color but had a bit of red and ornage up their legs.

Despite their oddly deep vocal tones, they're actually pretty exciteable, and if it weren't for the fact that they're of decent size, it'd be easy to mistake them for a younger pebble just based on their antics alone.

Their tone is caused by all the spikey bits around their carapace, but i havent done the science/math thinking required to explain why, so just image they have a hard time speaking/understanding when others use a higher register.

They adapted to use the leg where the neck of a bass would be the most, mostly because the way their carapace juts out makes it uncomfortable to keep down. But also because its the easiest to wave at Savior Grace if they see him around.

And what little they have of a family crest or symbol rn makes it look liek a four string

(I think i might like bass guitars, but im not sure)

[idotsoup]

The idea of blocking simply to filter your feed or whatever (blogs you dont care for, ppl with opinions you dont like, ppl who are just annoying) is all fun and games, until you see a post you like and find a comment with a shit ton of likes that you CANT READ CAUSE YOU BLOCKED THEM.

And literally there are only three ppl ive blocked cause they actually pmo, and all the others are just cause i didnt like the stuff they posted (like constant x readers or ships that i just dont enjoy) and i find it funny that this is the first time im experiencing this.

[roguedeer]

Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism

[image description: screenshot of writing formatted as a question and answer exchange. headline of piece is: The Proposal to Raise Every Boy as a Girl. (author not listed)

Q. You want to raise every boy as a girl? Yes.

Q. Why? A boy will learn to hate girls as long as he is raised in such a way where he is treated as better, and superior to, his girl peers, whenever he is cruel to girls. So, instead, we raise boys as girls.

Q. What if they say they are not a girl, and want to be acknowledged as boy? Then you know they are a boy, so you must make sure to understand them as boy, and not a girl.

Q. What does it mean to be 'raised as a girl'? That's up for you to decide. The only difference is that you should not raise boys any differently than you raise girls, since you raise every boy as a girl.

Q. Girls and boys are raised in specific ways for specific purposes, so it does not make sense to raise boys as girls. If you raise every boy as a girl, then there is no being which is not raised as a girl, so anyone raised as a girl necessarily must learn to do anything and everything to grow up, without restrictions on tasks, labours, or interests.

Q. But boys and girls are different. All two girls are different, and raising girls in one specific way destroys this individuality in favour of moulding girls to serve the same master. Still, the girls resist to live life on their own terms. If girls can be raised such that they know they can do anything they want, including not being girls, so too will boys raised as girls.

Q. Why not raise every girl as a boy? Because if a girl does not exist among boys, then the girl is made.

Q. Why not raise girls and boys as themselves? The self must be made in a world where girls and boys can first and foremost be themselves. One step towards this goal is to raise every boy as a girl.

Q. The way people raise girls is cruel, so why would you raise boys with that cruelty? If you raise girls with cruelty, then you should stop being cruel to girls.

@idotsoup this feels relevant to what we were discussing

[idotsoup]

"The way people raise girls is cruel," they say.

Ok, so you admit your not being kind to your female children, but instead of changing how you raise them, you simply don't want to raise your boys that way?

How odd.

[shiroxix]

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.

USEFUL.

ORIGINALS ON THE ROLL

Behold. My Eridian oc, Burger. They work on Graces nutritional team.

Saw a post on insta that was basically "imaging being part of grace's class and going into a science field cause he was brave for going on the mission, then finding out later that he was forced." And its a great idea but like-

The government(s) would never let that go public. They would not tell the remaining population before or after the beatles get home. But-!

But image youre one of Ryland Grace's former students from the exact year he was sent off. Halfway through the semester, the petrova line becomes widely known about but not really understood, then your teacher disapears, then a month or however long later, you get a completely new, permanent teacher, because your's volunteered to go on the mission after an explosion took out the original scientist.

Imagine you go on about you life as the world slowly falls into choas and the summers get shorter and the winters grow longer and people start doing anything while just trying to survive. Then imagine one day, when you've managed to survive the hellscape earth has become and your well into adulthood, the news talked about the cure for the sun! And this is amazing! Dr. Grace did it! You feel this weird relief and sense of pride because that was your teacher. You knew him.

Then imagine a month or so later, a government offical comes to your door, and tells you to go with them. And of course you're confused, scared, worried; you dont know why they've come to you, you havent done anything wrong. But one way or another you end up going with them, and they take you to this seculded building or something, and the rest of your classmates from that year -- the year when everything started to get worse and your teacher decided to be brave and the government told you he was going to fix it -- are there, or at least the ones who survived until now.

Imagine they sit you all down, confused and worried and put in a room together for no apparent reason, and they tell you there is something they need to show you. And then EVA STRATT walks in. The woman in charge of the project that sent your teacher to the stars to save earth. And she tells you that Your Teacher, Dr. Ryland Grace, recorded his experience, and that while most of it is confidential, there is something you should see.

Imagine she clicks on a projecter, and you all turn to stare at one wall of the room as your teacher is on the board again. He looks a little older, and seriously tired, and he is wearing a dumb science pun shirt, but he smiles at the camera like he smiled every day he walked into class. And he tells you everything. Every now and then he repeats that Startt needs to leave it up for you to see, not to hide anything from you. As if he expects her to. Or is worried she might.

Imagine he tells you exactly what happened. That he did not go willingly. That he had to be caught and sedated. That the other crew members died in transit, that he was alone. But then he tells you about his expericne on the ship, explains it all to the camera as if in the same room as you, and for a moment it almost kind of feels like he is, maybe. He tells you about the alien he met, and he tells you what they did and he shows you pictures of this Rocky character. He sounds genuinely happy, and sometimes has to stop himself from rambling beacsue that is and alien, that is his best friend, who is an alien, and he made first contact!!

Image it's going so well, you all are both saddened that he never got to say it in person, but happy he even thought of you. Then imagine he drops the bomb. That he and Rocky had split fuel and now he had enough to go home, that he had been coming home. But there was a problem, the Taumoeba can get through xenonite, and Rocky's ship is made almost entirely of it. He says he is going back for his friend, to take Rocky home, and he knows that he will likely die within months of doing so.

Imagine learning all of that. Then imagine he says that he's proud of you. Each and everyone of you, and he goes on to list your names and with each one he says that he hopes you acomplished everything you had wanted.

Imagine you have to sit with that for the rest of your life, because you are then made to sign an NDA, and you can not tell anyone what you learned. Not coworkers, not friends, not family, not your spouse or your kids. Not even your pet, if you have one.

You can't even talk to each other about it outside of this room.

Just imagine.

Placed around six years prior to beginning of story. Mikey has trained under Draxum enough that the goatman decided he has “graduated” and he’s basically earned(/been voluntold) being a teaching assistant at a school for the mystic arts in the hidden city. He’ll be working with the younger students. Draxum basically sees it as socialization. And to force him to use what he’s been taught to teach younger kids and get him more accustomed to constant minor usage of mystics. (Click for better quality)

Literally my first time ever drawing April aside for the paper I originally drew this on. Messy hair is just supposed to show that she’s exhausted. During this time she’d be working on her final thesis in college or something, so she’s out of it. Wasn’t really sure how else to convey that other than just saying it.
