I wonder if 12 Leo knows Raph has trauma to what ha been through and would comfort him if he ever has nightmares or anxiety attacks from the things that happened to him. Poor 12 Raph has been through a lot, especially when he got his mutagen sucked out of him by the Creep then brainwashed by the Shredder once he and his family liberated New York from the Kraang.
this ask
raph tells leo about it eventually but tbh there’s not much leo can do besides be there for his brother
leo will give him space until raph ready for his big brother to comfort him
Pure Vanilla is not happy about the situation to put it briefly, being often visibly nervous or lost in thought, but still keeping silent and not showing his feelings openly.
[Tiny note: This was drawn before SM's full look was revealed]
He's not budging and thus acts more apathetic towards SM, not wanting him to get satisfaction or a sense of victory.
In truth, he's terrified of shadow milk and incredibly lonely, sometimes getting overwelmed by paranoia and anxiety, but can't think of anything else to do except keep appearences.
He allows himself to be vulnerable only when he's not being watched.
This’ll hopefully just make things more accessible
First Part
(Everything I’ve ever drawn for this is under #AU, if you want an overview of all the parts I would just go to #AUcomic in the tags)
((There is also a longgg ass list after the cut if you prefer that way))
-
Quick rundown on what this AU is real quick: so basically this is set 2 years in the future after the end of season 2, Shadow eventually becomes a part of team Sonic, and Rouge and Blaze exist in this universe. it also might be important to mention there’s not really an overarching plot, just shenanigans
There are a few important events though, but I have more detailed explanations of those in the parts themselves
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention this is basically a sonadow fic? oops. so yeah if that’s not your cup of tea here’s your warning. also very much slow burn, pining, mutual pining, the works (honorable mention background blazamy)
-
This is kind of a comic but also not? Some are fully fledged comics with dialogue and panels, some are just drawings/sketchpages
So the parts just put them in chronological order, you don’t have to read them in any particular order if you don’t want to
-
Last thing: if y’all end up having any questions throughout, feel free to send it to me in my ask box! I’ll try to get to it as soon as I can!
For the 5+ headcanons: otp messing around in IKEA AU
Aaack I live by an IKEA and it's literally my favorite thing you have no idea... Like honestly one of these days I'm just gonna drop out of school and live in IKEA.
Also, I've decided to do this with a handful of yoi-related ships mainly because it was open-ended and I couldn't decide.
Yuuri and Victor are adorable IKEA shoppers. They're walking around holding hands, picking out new comforters together, and just designing their dream space together. It's cute.
Yurio gets distracted by a really cool display, looses Otabek, and finds him by all the wall art almost an hour later. "Have you seen my boyfriend?" he asked almost every IKEA worker he saw. "He's about this tall, leather jacket, looks really really hot today."
Chris and Phichit go for fun. They take really chill aesthetic selfies in front of all the cool stuff they find. Chris lays extravagantly on all of the beds. Phichit buys a hanging lamp covered in paper daisies because why not???
Leo and Guang go to kill some time one day and end up chilling in one of the model homes listening to Leo's music and talking about life.
Mila brings Sara with her when she needs furniture for her new apartment and quickly finds out that Sara has the quirkiest taste in interior design. She's putting together all these bright patterns and colors and Mila just adores it... by the end of the trip she's spent way too much money on throw pillows and lamps but she's also asked Sara to move in with her so that's a plus.
I think that's five and I'm running out of pairs but seriously this was so much fun thanks so much for sending it in!!
I love your Homies in a Half Shell AU. Though I wonder how 12 Raph deals with his trauma of that brain worm experiment and where he feels phantom pains of it going into his eye to get to his brain. Heck, I can imagine his brothers and the Rise turtles helping him with that trauma, especially Ris Raph who has his own eye trauma from the Krang in his world so he knows the pain of being controlled/brainwashed.
aahh thank you!
i do think raph slowly looses his sight due to the injury, and i think that mind control/body control is a major trauma for him.
he had his mind taken over from the brain worm, and later was body swapped with a krangg, and then even became a vampire for a minute (haven’t watched the episode yet so don’t know everything that happened) so i think he has a lot of ptsd to work through to become comfortable in his own skin again.
and yes i think rise raph would be able to relate a lot and be someone that 12 raph can go to for comfort. he doesn’t want to share these deep uncomfortable thoughts with his brothers that he grew up with, they think so much about him already, what would they think of him if the found this out?? no he’ll go to rise raph because he’s experienced the same thing more or less, and because it’s nice to have someone bigger then you hold you close
Just wondering, because school started yesterday and I‘ve had NO ao3 emails telling me there’s a new chapter(coincidence? I THINK NOT),
When is the next chapter of Homies In A Half-Shell coming out? I need me some homies in a half-shell😂
Also, I love your art!
hello! avi is tired and doesn’t understand her college assignments 😭
hmm if you mean that your favorite fics aren’t updating bc of school then i feel that, these writers be suffering, we all struggling over here lol
the next chapter is all planned out- but i’m on a batfam kick rn and im trying not to force myself to draw stuff i don’t want to if that makes sense, it’s lead me to burnout in the past so ye, here’s a sneak peak tho!
