I've been saving art lately for open the floodgates and ran out of ideas, Reva and I put a bunch of words onto a document and we've been using them as prompts.
I decided to make that list into a proper prompt list for anyone to use if they're looking for ideas
(Link for the post about open the floodgates with all the tags, @zee-rambles is the creator)
Info for the list
Anyone is welcome to use it
Can be used for Art, Writing, Comics, etc
You can use the list in any order you want (Picker wheel links above)
Tag it with #Wire Prompts
Feel free to tag me in anything except smut/sexual things
The AU part is there for anyone who enjoys drawing AU's and needs more ideas, you do not have to add it if you don't want to
Yes, you can still use it after open the floodgates
Happy Independence Day, everyone! Figured a fun way to celebrate would be to share a short story I wrote for my Patreon a year ago on how the Mad Dogz take their first steps towards taking back their freedom from the EPF. Enjoy!
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of True Happiness
"You can't be serious, Leo... the thing sticks out like a sore thumb!" Raph gestured up to the massive statue, his chasm deepening further.
"Hey! That's Lady Liberty you're talking about," Leo countered with an easy grin.
"My point exactly. Plus, it's already covered in Krang goop."
"All the more reason the Krang will never think to check inside and the EPF will keep their distance!"
"Ugh, Donnie, help me out here," Raph looked to his brother who was still busy typing away as his visor scanned the harbor filled with ruined warships.
"As much as I'd hate to admit it, Liberty Island would not be a bad spot for a new home base. It's a strategic position within the harbor and while the statue is rather loud and proud, the star shaped fortress beneath it was designed to be able to fire in every direction. The sediment-based soil below is malleable and free of underground structures so it would be easy for me to drill and create a new, proper lair."
"There, see?? Even the brain-ace can admit when I have a good idea," Leo grinned at his big brother, to which Raph could only pout.
"You do realize that if we do this though... we will become residents of New Jersey," Donnie paused in his typing to arch a brow Leo's way.
"What?? No way! Everyone knows that the Statue of Liberty is part of New York!" Leo gaped.
"Well technically, there have been many legal disputes through the decades regarding the jurisdictional boundaries between New York and New Jersey, culminating in a 1998 Supreme Court ruling that extended New Jersey's sovereignty over the artificially filled portions of both Liberty Island and Ellis Island as well as--"
"SHORT VERSION, Don-tron."
Donnie sighed as he closed all his projections of the court case documentation. "The Statue of Liberty and parts of Liberty Island are New York... but everything man-made or below the sea level is New Jersey."
"So if we built a lair below the Statue of Liberty..." Mikey began.
"It would actually be in New Jersey. Yes." Donnie finished.
"Are you KIDDING ME?? What sort of ruling is that?!" Leo threw up his arms.
"Regardless, it is where the current borders stand and I doubt either the remnants of the US government or the EPF have any interest in hearing your case now."
Leo's pout only held for a moment before he brightened with a new idea. "Well then I'll just live in the statue!"
"I don't think--"
"DIBS ON THE HEAD!" Leo quickly cried out.
"DIBS ON THE TORCH!" Mikey immediately followed.
"GUYS! We can't call dibs on a National Monument!" Raph barked.
"Oh, don't worry, Liberty and I go waaaaay back. I made her laugh once, ya know," Leo grinned.
"Hehe sorry Raph, ya snooze ya lose!" Mikey's grin matched his brother's.
"Well before you all start calling 'dibs' on federally owned property, you should know that the head and torch aren't actual rooms. They're just stairwells that are likely in need of serious repair," Donnie winced.
"It'll be fiiiiiine," Leo shrugged. "I'll just portal in some wood planks, maybe a nice throw rug, and it'll be a humble abode before you can even climb all those stairs!"
"That sounds terribly unsafe and hardly up to code," Donnie deadpanned.
"Yeah. We're doing this so we can finally bail on the Central Park Colony, right?" Raph urged. "The last thing we want to do is move to someplace even less safe. At least with the new Lair underground we have some means of protection. There'll be no going back to the EPF, once we leave..."
All four grew silent at the mention of the EPF. It had only been a year since they sought asylum at the Central Park Colony after their lair had been raided by the Krang. The humans had managed to save Raph's life, but at the cost of their freedom. Now they had become nothing more than first wave fodder for a colony of humans who feared and hated them... along with all the other mutants and yokai refugees. To be fair, the four brothers had it easier than most mutants since the EPF at least found them useful.
"Don't worry, I'll be happy to move down underground once Donnie's done drilling... though I'm sure he's going to be busy for some time," Leo finally smiled, calling them all back from their quiet thoughts.
"Well, by my calculations... it should only take me a few months to drill out a basic floor plan. Kitchen... living room, six to eight bedrooms--"
"Oh we're going to need WAY more rooms than that," Leo smirked, happy to see the confusion painting his brothers' faces.
"Why would we need so many?" Raph tilted his head.
"Cuz I want to build more than just a lair for us..." Leo smiled as he stared up at the giant statue still standing strong even against the encroaching Krang vines. All three brothers looked at Leo with surprise, watching as he turned to smile their way with that all too hopeful spark in his eye.
"I want to build an entire colony."
"...IN NEW JERSEY??" Mikey scoffed.

Thanks for reading! If you like the way I write and want more Replica-related stories like this I have loads more on my Patreon. Everything from the story of how Donnie got his scars, to the original Alien Invasion that happened without Casey Jr's intervention, and a near 40 chapter arc on what exactly went down in Shanghai. It's been so fun getting to tell these extra little stories floating around in my brain. There's way too much to fit into an entire comic so this has been a great way to get these worldbuilding ideas out and into the ether.
Also, for those curious, I always included a timeline since uh... there's a lot that goes down in this near 25 year span of time, haha!
As a celebration for hitting 10K followers on tumblr and 80K over on tiktok, I made this dtiys. I love you all so so much, thanks for engaging with my art and joking around with me :)
✨ I'm giving away one one-shot fiction of your choice to one lucky follower! ✨

Giveaway runs from now through June 16, 2026. I will then select a winner via a random drawing and contact them through Tumblr DMs. More giveaway rules down below! If you have any questions, always feel free and thank you all again!!!
Giveaway Rules
You must follow me to enter.
The requested work must be for a fandom I'm familiar with so that I can write it accurately.
If you win, you must have your DMs open so we can discuss the details of your request.
I will need to know your age if the requested content could involve mature themes. I will not write explicit content for minors.
I will not accept requests involving incest or pedophilia.
There is no minimum or maximum word count for the one-shot. The final length will be determined solely by what is necessary to fulfill the request.
This work will be completed alongside my regular writing workload and therefore does not have a guaranteed completion date. While I will make every effort to finish it within a reasonable timeframe, delays may occur depending on my schedule and other commitments.
These guidelines are not exhaustive. There may be topics, themes, or types of content that I am not comfortable with writing that are not specifically identified here. If a request falls outside these guidelines, we can discuss the best way to proceed.
You do not need to come into this giveaway with a fully developed one-shot idea. Having a general concept, trope, prompt, or starting point can be helpful, but it's not required. I'd love for this to be a collaborative process.
To celebrate hitting 1500 followers, I challenge YOU to draw this in your style!
(Yeah I know, it took me two weeks, and yeah, now it's technically 16k - but I did it!)
I'm literally so honoured to be followed by so many lovely people, you've encouraged me and loved me through one of the hardest times in my life - so now it's your time to shine! I wanna see what you can do with this :D
Rules (and colouring page!) below the cut:
You CAN:
change up the pose, lighting, colours, or use this as inspiration for something else!
leave out or add in characters
do whatever you like, as long as it's your own!
Please DON'T:
Trace the image - I want to see your own art skills!
Share or repost my art without credit, or remove the signature
Look at it and say "I can't do it, I'm not good enough" - yes you are! Who said it had to be perfect?
Have fun and PLEASE tag me so I can see and share what you do! (if you don't want your art shared to my blog, please say so in the image caption and I won't!)
...
Okay, okay, so I hear you. Some of you want to join in but don't feel up to doing the linework. Well, lucky for you, I've made you a colour-less version which you can colour in for funsies! Same rules as above, but again, just tag/credit me and don't erase the signatures. Print on paper or remove the background in your favourite art programme.
