Glad Yellow doesn't like Justice Force or the situation is getting more awkward because he might keep some of the things and Cody would feel unease if he walks into his room one day
Just a thought
Well, hey, Purple likes JF and hasn't stolen anything from Cody yet!
It's true though that Yellow has trouble respecting people's personal spaces (and respecting people. period.) but also Cody is a bit of an exception to the rule. Yellow, partly through Blue's insistence, feels that they owe Cody a whole lot, and should maybe go easy on him. Especially after the Christmas incident, ahaha...
And besides, Cody's uneasiness around them mostly dropped by now, it's more of a concern for their well-being than anything else. They're in this together and they're honorary siblings. If Yellow snatches a few comics, Cody will just get them back. Worst case scenario he's just gonna throw Yellow over his shoulder again /lh
Really love the series and art you both made!!! I downloaded it to my ereader so that i can enjoy it offline~~~
The artwork looks awesome as the screensaver!
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL??? I'm gonna lose my mind they DO look so good like that aaaa!! I'm so glad the covers fit properly and everything too, omg. I'm so delighted you enjoy our work, too, thank you for sharing!! --Adelram
Oh my WOW this is delightful?? It really looks so good!! I think we have to publish a book now. To be honest. What the hell /pos. Need you to know that this made both of our days!! — Trauma
When Cody and DTs have arrived on Dr. Stockman's research facility I feel it's like some sort of history repeats itself . Like similar but different .
Probably its because of the different approach and resemblance between a century I assume
You’re definitely onto something, anon! I mean, working with an O’Neil, talking science with Bishop, and most importantly becoming famous for his Mousers…. It’s all familiar. In fact…
You’re joking but APPARENTLY this was supposed to happen to Stockman 😭

I suddenly feel the urge to ramble about this on my turtle blog but let’s just say that this would not really work for the AHC AU, lmao. You know, one of the things we came up with on literally the first day of creating this AU was, “hey what if this entire AU Stockman is just vibing and living his best life?” So. Close enough, anon! But personally I am in favor of letting the Shredder stay dead 💞
If Darius had won by eliminating everyone else who got involved and get his hands on O'Neil Tech and securing his position , how catastrophic the outcome could be ?
Completely and utterly destructive because neither me nor Aden would feel like writing that lmao — Trauma
Hello, I have so many questions for this au and this one portrays the aftermath can't be more accurate.
To the usual cases of some people who get involved in huge news and constantly judged by society along with victim blaming , dichotomy, etc .
Judging by the views of people whether they are involved with Darius’s dirty business or not , would Cody be facing difficulties in bringing light to his uncle’s crimes that brought up trouble to other people working in O’Neil Tech and other related companies ?
Would Dark Turtles face discrimination due to the fact they are underage kids who shatter their former employer’s illusion of glory along with under the guise of the CEO position , causing the downfall of “one of the greatest people in society ” or probably the fact that they are clones that consist of DNA of both vertebrate and one of the most invasive alien species among the galaxy (not sure if the newspapers have posted or anyone knows it ) and causing numerous concerns on this one due to the hazardous case on Moonbase before .
As well as the President’s temporary custody of them, what measurements would they take if they are planing to engage in activities like traveling ? Is it not as strict as in NNYC where people has fully aware of or remains the same ?
Also here’s a specific question, since Cody’s age has almost reached to mature level and concerning that Dark Turtles’ maturity level has great contrasts on both physiology and mentality .
Even though if some of the cloned subjects have mature mentality but they do not have sufficient experience due to psychic link of other people’s experiences instead of their own .
How long would they be considered as “mature” as an adult? Like over 18 or 21 in growing age or gaining enough experience ?
What are your views on the differences between growth of genetic cloning and normal growth ?
🌙 We’ll see a little bit of this a few more chapters ahead (because we do wanna dig into O’Neil Tech a little) but yes, Cody does indeed struggle somewhat with taking over, having played part in Dunn’s downfall. He was already viewed as a boy genius though and it was always kind of expected that he’d inherit the company eventually, so a lotta people are just like, “yea okay.”
🐢 The Dark Turtles do face more backlash, partly because they were seen just like y’know. Doing crimes! So people are already somewhat inclined to dislike them. And playing part in Dunn’s trial probably makes some people think that maybe the Darks are just doing it to get out of their own punishments. Being as big and hulking as they are, AND being easy to anger, they often get seen more as henchmen and less as the manipulated children they are.
The fact that they’re Kanabo clones is a scandal in and of itself too, especially since this revelation came shortly after Stockman’s assassination attempt and the consequent forgiveness of it — it seems that the topic of cloning bodies and ethics and laws of it is becoming popular now! It serves to dehumanize the turtles at times, something that Cody is quick to try and reassure them about, with mixed results.
(Also Dunn was really not “one of the greatest” in any way. Guy was one CEO -of a company he inherited, by the way, it’s not like he was a founder or anything either- on one planet in a massive alliance made up of multiple solar systems. Let’s not overestimate his influence and accomplishments.)
🌙 Honestly right now the kids aren’t planning to travel anywhere. When they go out, they are followed by an EPF special unit bodyguard, and mostly they just like to go to the mall, now that they somewhat understand how it works. Blue occasionally ventures out for plants or plant related stuff, and Cody is slowly organizing his things at O’Neil Tech :) But like, yea, they just sort of wander around. The world is big and not everyone is always paying attention to the news, so the odds of them getting recognized are, I’d say, 50/50. The bodyguard might actually draw the most attention, unless it’s Hambone, who’s short enough to not get noticed right away next to four giant turtles.
🐢 Honestly, the age thing is sort of up in the air rn. Generally, right now, the Dark Turtles are legally classified as minors both on account of how long they’ve actually been alive and on account of how little experience they have with the world around them. How old are they supposed to be? When will they be considered adults? Should it be based on the Splintersons? Should it be based on how long Kanabos live for? Should someone make a legal definition specifically for clones? Many questions, few clear answers. But worry not, they will be asking them, too. After all, they know so little about themselves, the poor kids. The blank spaces will start mattering eventually.
Long story short: All great questions! We will get to them! :)

PS: Personally, my take is that if you grow a clone to be physically a certain age, it’s always gonna fuck them up, and I’d compare it to someone growing up as a very sheltered child. You might be able to survive in a certain very specific environment (Purple can drive the Terrorpin, all of them can fight), but there will be huge gaps in your knowledge, especially regarding social interaction and norms (“we all have genders.”—“We do?”) (“so is no one else gonna use ‘PresiDad’?”) and stuff typically taught in schools (Purple is the only one who can read and spell correctly with no trouble).
Additionally, with the turtles so freshly made, they don’t know very much about their own bodies! Think of all the things that you know about your own body and it’s functions and malfunctions — you know that puberty comes with a lot of gross changes, you know that a headache might mean you’re dehydrated, you know that a stomachache might mean food poisoning, you know if you’re tired you need to sleep and if you’re overwhelmed by a crowded room you need space and quiet.
The Darks don’t really know… ANY of that. Purple might, and they might all wager a guess or two, but it’s all guesswork. That is the biggest trouble with their origins — they were never meant to be alive. They were just meant to be weapons.
Can we see the other two PGA bodyguards besides of Hambone and Ro
I mean I just visited the webpage and they got good potential to character introductions
Thank you! We've already met Ritter, but Lyssis hasn't shown up yet! I'll get to show off more of their drawings when we get to the guards' profile, but for now here's them:
Some brief details about them below!
Ritter's actually in charge of the guards, she's been working under Bishop for a very long time and work is pretty much their life. Nothing comes above Bishop's orders, for him. Though they don't particularly try to hide that they're an utrom, they've spent most of their life on earth and blend in effortlessly, often assumed to be human. She identifies more with human culture, and feels pretty out of place among other utrom.
Lyssis is Hambone's elder sister! She's a little higher rank, too. She can throw down with the best of them, having a list of abilities that make her a really good defense, but she's also a very nurturing personality type. She wants to see the best in everyone and help them succeed. Unlike her sister, Lyssis actually does see her coworkers as family, and is quick to emotionally adopt anyone who bonds with her. She's a gentle giant (unless you happen to be trying to assassinate her boss. Then, yknow. She's gotta beat you up.)
If you want even more deets their pages are here and here!
Suddenly got interested to Hambone because of Yellow's introduction to his family concept
So is she a beaver/squirrel or which kind of mutant species does she belong to
Actually, she's a weasel! Got a whole toyhouse page up here, she's Aden's OC originally :) I'm hoping after we go through the main characters I can make a little profile for the guards as well! Let it be said that she wants no part in this family dynamic (she already has a family!) but hey, Bishop also didn't want to be here and that didn't save him <3 -- Trauma
