I head you just got into 03 XD what’s your opinion on everyone? /gen question

XD Well since you asked dear Anon, though I'll try to keep this brief since I can go for hours.

So general thoughts on the turtles:

Leo is best boy and my favorite turtle of this iteration.

This Leo was the first Leo I ever got to know. Cause one thing to clarify: I hd seen part of 03 before I just didn't get fully into it till recently thanks to Stormy. (I had basically only seen season 1.)

Anyways, back to Leo, I love this dork. He's chivalrous, kind and family means everything to him. He's a good boy and is doing his best. Even if he's a bit too hard on himself. Honestly I relate to him a lot, all the more reason he's best boy for me. Also, I love the fact that while he is a serious young man, he also knows how to have fun. Adds a lot to why I love him so much.

Then we have Mikey!

XD He is such a goof ball and I love him for it. I can not tell you how many times this little ball of sunshine has made me laugh with his antics. I also appreciate the fact that while he is a goof, he can take things seriously and overall, he never has any ill intent. He always means the best.

Also his relationship with Klunk gives me life.

Raphael from 2003 is probably my top Raphael.

I ADORE the arcs he gets in 2003. Plus, I love how they give him so many layers to his character. He's not just the angry one, he also has a gentle heart at his core. And he realizes he does have a temper and is trying to better himself. And I appreciate how he serves as a kind of a balance for Leo. The two kind of keep each other in check. (Especially during Season 4 when Leo was going through it. Raph really was the MVP in noticing Leo was not okay.)

So... yes I adore this tough turtle with a heart of gold.

Then finally we have Donnie! The war criminal- I mean precious sweet baby child who totally did not commit grand theft auto multiple times.

Okay all joking aside I adore this guy. I do admittedly have a soft spot for nerds and Donnie certainly fits the bill. Plus he's a sweet heart and a gentleman. Which is all the more reason I feel so bad he gets to see all the horrors. (and endure horrors. Season 4 was rough for this guy.) Also, love the fact he just wants to help anyone in need. He's got the same chivalry as Leo and it makes me happy to see it.

Then as a bonus because I will take any opportunity to squeal about this character because I feel he is under appreciated and is my favorite non turtle character:

Zayton Honeycutt AKA The Fugitoid! (I often call him Fugi lol)

Oh boy I could go for hours about why I like this silly robot man. As stated with Donnie I have a huge soft spot for nerds and Fugitoid is no exception. He's the embodiment of a dorky scientist and it's adorable. Plus, I appreciate how considerate he is of those around him. Like when he met the turtles he just immediately wanted to help them instead of just leaving them high and dry with the federation. He really is a good bot who wants the best for everyone, even if it means sacrificing himself to keep those he cares about safe.

And there's my overall thoughts. <3 Loving 2003 and looking forward to finishing my marathoning soon. Still got a season and half left to go. Looking forward to finishing and making more fun fan art for it. Especially for my sister's fanfict she's working on. (Fish Out of Water. Please give her some love when it comes out. It's gonna be good I promise.)

What's your favorite Fugitoid moment?

"BOOYAH!! As the boys would say! Ehehe?"

I loved this little moment so much I made a GIF I like using in chats with friends. XD It's little moments like these that make me love Fugi. He's just such a goofy robot man.

hello again :)

on one hand, i'm super grateful for the scar chart for phoenix!tadashi, again, couldn't thank you enough. on the other hand, though, i do have some questions related to the au and i'd like if i could ask them in dms. so, if it's not too much to ask, can i get a follow back?

I appreciate the enthusiasm but I prefer to answer questions about my AUs and projects in my ask inbox publicly only.

Just asking this for the fun of it: have you ever gender-swapping characters before? I've been gender-swapping for a bit.

Oh forever ago. XD Haven't done it in years. Mainly since whenever I do usually the gender swap winds up becoming their own character since their write up becomes so far removed from what it was originally.

Lead to making some good characters though. <3 So I had my fun with it. Just don't really dabble anymore. Once in a while though for funzies.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love 💚

Awww well this is rather sweet.

Well... my personal favorites I've written: (In no particular order)

Breaking the Real

Fandom: Bendy and the Ink Machine

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16627562/chapters/3898019

Honestly one of my all time favorites that I still come back to read over. It's my shortest and most concise fic. I strive to have this with some of my other stories some day. Where all I need is one story to tell it all. (Also should note this was a collab between Storm and I. A lot of our works are shared since sometimes, you need a little extra help. Sometimes two heads are better than one.)

Grid Ghost

Fandom: Big Hero 6

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18965719/chapters/45031669

My favorite of my Big Hero 6 stories and honestly the one that surprised me the most when I came up with the concept. I didn't really fancy myself an Obake fan at first but then when I got the idea I found myself falling in love with him since he had so much potential that was never explored. I hope to do this again with Hero Initiative.

A World Without Danger

Fandom: Code Lyoko

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45276577/chapters/113907262

Don't let the lack of updates fool you I adore this story and am looking forward to continuing. Code Lyoko is something I hold very near and dear to me so getting to retell it is something I enjoy immensely.

Piston Peak Chronicles

Fandom: World of Cars

FF Net Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10563645/1/Piston-Peak-Chronicles

One of my first collection fanfics. This one has a special place in my heart. It's was part of one of the biggest projects I ever did with my sister. Of them all, this one was my favorite to write shorts for. Character focused stories with non stop fun and some angst haha.

Survive the Shadows

Fandom: Don't Starve

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8772730/chapters/20109778

While I'm kind of having a do over with To Who Knows Where I won't lie I do have a soft spot for this story. It really pushed me forward in my writing skills and really helped me fall in love with this franchise. I was so nervous at first to throw my hat in the ring but much thanks to my sister for pushing me forward. (And helping me co-write it too.) I hope to re-capture the magic I did with this fic in To Who Knows Where, but I must always pay respects to the story that got me started in DST.

And yeah. =) Fun to look over the ones I enjoyed the most. Though honestly each of them have something special about them. These 5 are just the ones that stick out the most.

Been a very tired cyber elf as of late. Working full time retail is a lot. (To no one's surprise.)

Apologies for slow updates on stuff and lack of posting in general. Don't have as much free time these days and most of the stuff I am working on behind the scenes just isn't ready for the public yet. Plus with some certain projects I'm just burnt out right now. I'll get to it eventually just now is not the time. So... just need to take it slow and get my bearings together. Stuff is still coming I just need a moment to pull myself back together.

Just gonna focus on some fun art pieces for a bit and work my way up back to big projects. Hopefully once I'm adjusted we'll get back to some form of rhythm. For now it's just going to be random posting when I feel like it.

Thank you for your time.
