I'm so so so sorry for not posting as much as I used to but my schedule has been absolutely PACKED...
On the bright side, I'll have a lot more times on the weekends to post, so finally expected and mark your calendars for a post either tomorrow or next weekend because I'll finally try to make a routine. Wish me luck ๐ค
Fun fact: I used to despise reading and writing until I...got into fanfiction...now I'm the one writing fanfiction!! What a strange world we live in ๐งโโ๏ธ
I was working on a little something then I suddenly thought back to the playlist I made for Echo a while back...I haven't listened to it in a while (shameful I know๐)
BUT I MADE A NEW ONE!
The old one was...definitely something!! So I remade it and actually used songs that correspond to her a bit better
Here y'all go!! Enjoy ๐ *disappear into the abyss*
Okay, now, before you come at me sayinโ โohh smol, whyโs the first picture look so different from the second whatโs happening-โ ITS BECAUSE I DREW THEM TWO MONTHS APART ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐
I also hate drawing references in a professional manner ๐ so thatโs why it might be a bit harder to understand what shape her marks or scars are (partially the reason why theyโre covered up in the first place ๐)
But yeah! This is the reference I have so far for Echo (after she joins the Mad Dogz) and I hope itโs helpful :) if you need clarification on anything please donโt hesitate to drop in my ask box!
Iโll also probably make a reference for depressed (EoWYSB) Echo ๐
Echo is part of a traveling circus in this AU. I would think she's either a strong man, trapeze, or even a Contortionists.
Draxum didn't want much to do with her from the moment she was created, so she ran away at a young age. She had found a circus in the Hidden City and was greeted with nothing but kindness by the members of the circus. Echo then joined soon after.
After years of being in the circus, Mars joins and she still dies just not by Echo's hands. But Echo blames herself for it because she had the opportunity to save her but didn't take it in time. Eventually the magician of the circus (you know who) gets in trouble with the turtles and the turtles find the circus during an performance. Which caused them to meet Echo while she was doing her act. Then it all goes on from there.
-Inspiration
-- Blitzรธ's circus background
-- The song "dancing around in circles until my little feet fall off" by Spell casting
-- The other song "First Song" by Roga
-- My absolute love for silly circus people with absolutely devastating, soul crushing, heart wrenching pasts ever
My second AU idea because I'm just getting started ๐
2. Reincarnation AU
This AU is pretty complicated but I love it so much along with the Traveling Circus AU way too much not to talk about it.
I know Echo was created in a "lab" by Draxum but I had a way to explain this in a way it does sort of make sense. BTW all the events are the same just a lot more tension between Splinter and Echo and after the whole Krang incident, a lot happens.
Ok so, Echo is the reincarnation of an extremely powerful deity from a different clan that was allies with the Hamato Clan. "But Echo was made in a lab, how would that even work?" I hear you asking. Well I will explain just that to you! I like to imagine when the deity died (I don't have much about them yet) their soul looked for the nearest and best vessel it could find. So they took Echo as their vessel.
This also adds more trauma and angst because it gives Echo way too many identity crisis'. Also Splinter knows about the deity because I said so. To add more angst a whole situation happens while they try to take down a Krang level threat, they find a weapon and since the said deity died while also being a vessel for the said weapon, Echo is now the vessel for than weapon which causes absolute chaos but she learns to control it.
There's a lot more but I'll explain the rest if y'all like it :)
'Thank god today is my only free day of the year...'
The thought disrupted her attention span as she tried her best to listen to whatever the hell Big Mama was saying. Suddenly, she was dismissed. The only thing she got from that while lecture was that Big Mama needed to go handle of "buisness" and that Big Mama needed to handle it alone. So now Echo had the day to herself. So, Echo did what any normal citizen would do.... GO PARTY!!! She actually just wanted to go to bed.
As Echo walked towards her personal room, she accidentally bumped into somebody. "I'm so sorry!" Echo apologized. "Are you ok? I didn't mean to bump into you. You're not injured, are you?" She asked before making eye contact with the other person. She recognized them, they were another battle nexus fighter, they were super talented in battle. "Wait.... I know you! You're... Mars, right?" She asked again as she helped Mars up. Echo was always bad with names, but she wasn't about to forget a fellow champion.
"I am! My goodness, you must be Echo Walker! I'm such a huge fan of your work! My friends are gonna be so jealous that I got to meet you before they could." Mars fangirled a small bit before realizing how she must be sound. "But I am fine, thanks for worrying. I gotta say, you're a lot different than I thought you'd be..." Mars started, clearly a little confused since she had a picture painted about what Echo would be like outside of Battle Nexus but this was definitely not it.
"Really? And what did you think of me as? A ruthless dictator? Perhaps an emotionless recluse?" Echo teased slightly, she crossed her arms as she looked at Mars. Mars felt her face flush ever so slightly at the teasing, Mars did not want to sound like that; "Of course not! It's just-" "I'm just messing with you! I get that reaction more than you'd know. So don't worry if you think you're being awkward," Echo calmed Mars.
"Soooo....what did you think of me as? I'm a bit curious now," Echo questioned. "Well.... I kinda imaged you as a bit more dark and mysterious, maybe even a bit kept you yourself too." Mars confessed as she circled Echo a little. "But it eased my nerves to know you would obliterate me for being in your way-" "You're way!? I was the one who bumped into you!" Echo argued slightly.
"Ok then, 'for you bumping into me'. But now I'm starting to think that we'd make great friends!" Mars suggested as she looked up at Echo with pleading eyes. Echo felt a smile creep up her face. Echo sighed in defeat and nodded. Mars giggled in pure bliss as she started to drag Echo around to start their "totally awesome friendship spree," as she would call it.

The thought disrupted her attention span as she tried her best to listen to whatever the hell Big Mama was saying. Suddenly, she was dismissed before Echo even realized what just happened. Someone managed to get Big Mama to give Echo a day off. So, Echo did what any normal citizen would do.... GO PARTY!!! she actually just went to bed.
As Echo walked towards her personal room, she accidentally bumped into somebody. Echo immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" Echo asked before making eye contact with the other person.

Sorry I'm posting super late!! I've been agonizingly busy and been forgetting to update once in a while...
Sry for being gone so long ๐ a bunch of stuff came up but I swear I'm going to post a new story soon. It'll be out in a few days, I just have to reread and make sure there's no Grammer mistakes or plot holes that will drive me insane.
A person's favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite flavor of ice cream can say a lot about them when considering the answers as a whole. Some prime examples I've heard are:
~ Silver, Artic Wolf, and Mint Chocolate Chip.
~ Pink/Yellow, Putu Bird, and Cotton Candy.
~ Light Brown, Tree Kangaroo, and Rum Raisin.
~ Green, Pig, and Cookie Dough.
Mine are:
~ Burgundy, Fox, and Moose Tracks.
Tag some friends and get a sense of who they are! :)
Don't mind how Angel's name is Dolly, I lowkey forgot her name since I rarely write or draw her at all. She WILL be getting lots of attention though (be afraid)
Btw, the proportion SUCK because I am still a beginner and barely know anything about art
โHello, can you please reblog or publish a post for my campaign? Due to the weakness of donations, they pass slowly as ice. I hope you can help me. A small amount like $10 will be more than useful to help me and my family. Thank you for everything๐๐
Farah is #310 on the Vetted Fundraisers Listโผ๏ธ
โRight now, donated money is being used to help us survive this war. Food is very expensive and my family has to pay rent for the land that our tent is on. However, I want to save up enough money to evacuate my family to a safer place where we can rebuild our lives. I dream of returning to university to finish my computer science degree. I want to provide a better life for my family than is possible in Gaza. My family and I have many dreams we would like to fulfill after this war. We are grateful to everyone who donated and helps us during this time of suffering. Thank you for reading
