Mini Update

Sorry for the…unexpectedly extended delay for any new chapters of things. It wasn’t intentional to keep it sitting this long, life just got a bit overstimulating for a while (a surgeon was on my ass trying to get me on their team and they don’t have the best attitude). So that was…flattering (?) and also terrifying lmao.

Also adopted a furry baby. She’s my Little Star but she’s been taking up my time, too.

Hope to be back to posting somewhat regularly shortly! Have a lovely day you all!

Binge watched this show and gotta say...pretty good. My brain wouldn't shut up about it, so here, have some more non-TMNT food that I felt like I made against my will.

Kinger's the best and I will not be swayed from that.

Project Hail Mary has me in a chokehold. This is my first and last edit I will EVER do. For ANYTHING.

So a little while ago I may or may not have binge-read Mystic Malfunction by @vanillavengeance And I'm very normal about it, I like it a normal amount which is why I had to immediately draw some silly scenarios because I had no one to talk about it with :) If these doodles don't make sense to you, then that's probably a sign to go read it :3

Also yea sorry the alignments are a bit funky, the canvases are all very different sizes, das just what happens with MS Paint. If you want a good look at em you're gonna have to click on them

what did the 2012 turtles think about the pictures Ronan drew? Did they think it was just child creativity or did they think it had something to do with his past

They do think there are some elements that are from whatever Ronin remembers about where he was before, but no one is sure where reality begins and where Ronin’s creativity ends. Everything is taken with a grain of salt but it’s not forgotten about, especially his meltdown with the ooey gooey pink ice cream.

While I’m here, just a heads up that the next chapter will almost certainly be delayed. I’ve…uh…gotten caught up with a project that I HOPED I could finish by a certain timeline and I’m still going to try but I don’t know if I’ll make it lol. Regardless, the next Over the Rainbow chapter is in development and there’s another short story to look forward to!!

If Karai hadn’t told Ronan that his family abandoned him would he still have thought they abandoned him?

Yes. It just would have taken a bit longer for him to fully reach that conclusion. He’d already be with the 2012 turtles by the time Ronin finally gave up on and accept that he’d been abandoned :)

Hello! First of all I wanted to wish you a happy new year! I really hope you have a great time and continue to recover, and thank you for all your incredible stories, I have read them since 2023 and although I am very shy to comment (apart from the fact that English is not my first language) I have enjoyed them a lot, I hope I don't sound strange but you have really been an inspiration for me, have a great time! (I hope you understand, Google translator is not the best)

Happy New Year!! 🎊

Agxvdkwjveuzifjehe that’s so sweet thank you so much. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for all of your support!!

That goes for everyone who’s read my stories, kudos, commented, drew fanart (which always blows my mind), or any combination of that!! You’ve made this year great, and I can’t wait to continue making things that we’ll all (hopefully) enjoy!!

do splinter and April also hate junior like Leo, Donnie, and raph? April seems chill with having him around but what were her thoughts as it was happening? What about splinter? In the scene he was mainly focused on draxum. If splinter caught junior in the lair what would happen?

April definitely had to work through her feelings on letting Junior keep the key hidden, but she got through it better because of her journalism schooling, honestly. She’s just as brash and stubborn as the boys, but since college and taking her classes, she’s definitely learned to see both sides of the story and, as much as she absolutely HATES it and wants to rebel against it, she knew that in the moment Junior made the best choice with the information they had to protect everyone else. It still took a while for conversations with Junior to be anything more than awkward and stilted, but it eventually evened out to a new normal. She didn’t want to completely cut him off from his family again.

Splinter is definitely conflicted because he’s BEEN the one who has to make a choice like that. Between what’s ’right’ and saving his family. He just made the opposite choice and chose his sons. So Splinter’s resentful about Juniors choice, but he also understands exactly how hard that decision was. It doesn’t stop him from being a little bitchy towards Junior if Splinter sees him around, but their interaction is very limited. Junior never really knew the Master Splinter of the future, so he doesn’t have much of a baseline to compare it to so it doesn’t bother him that much.

Hello! I have a very fitting song for the Over the Rainbow playlist!

Good Lie by Sammy Copley!

You are correct :) added immediately hehe

[vanillavengeance]

if ronin thinks that his family abandoned him do the 2012 turtles think so to? Karai thinks that they did( she was the one who introduced the idea)and master splinter is neutral( in the mask scene)

That answer varies a bit. Karai and Raph, who has the most ‘context’ and first hand experience with Ronin, definitely thinks they abandoned him. Leo and Mikey are kinda on the fence, wanting to believe no one would do that but also knowing it’s a possibility. Donnie, who now thinks more than ever that Ronin’s a kappa, subscribed to the theory of him getting cast out for some reason they don’t know. Splinter is more neutral, like you said, but more so because he doesn’t want to imagine any world where a parent could so cruelty leave a child to fend for themselves.

Made you a Ronin since i suck at words

Take care and rest well 🫶

Aaawwww thank you for the well wishes! Starting to feel better, will hopefully be able to return to somewhat normal life soon!! 🧡🧡

I’ll still be car-less for a while, unfortunately, so I’ll be getting pretty comfy with my city’s busses and shuttle system. That’ll be fun to figure out the routes lol (Thank GOD my profession allows me to ride public transit for free—)

Life Update

Hey. Hi. Hola. This is everyone’s PSA to be VERY careful if you drive anywhere with snow, slush, sleet etc. Especially the US Midwest. If not, you could end up like me with a totaled car and a handful of fractured ribs.

The AO3 curse finally caught up to me I guess, lol.

So, needless to say I will be taking ample time to heal. Updates may not resume until the New Year depending on how things shake out, but don’t fret—I’ll still be here! Just have Real LifeTM things to deal with now.

Stay safe this holiday season everyone!! 🧡🧡

It’s late night asking time again I can’t sleep so what is your head cannons for what the turtles do when they can’t sleep also good morning or good afternoon wherever you live also what are some head cannons ate night things that ronin or the rest of the turtles do scaring the other by accident

Hope you were able to get some sleep!

2012 turts:

Raph- when he can’t sleep he reads his comics until he passes out or bugs Casey to do a patrol together

Leo- tea, Space Hero marathon, or meditation that does NOT work

Donnie- lab time. That’s pretty much it lol

Mikey- he’ll try to either knock himself out and give himself a concussion in the process or go see if any of his brothers are awake to pass the time with

Ronin- try to force himself to sleep by sitting in the dark with his eyes closed, or will go to Raph and try to make him fix it (with varying degrees of success)

Rise:

Leo- Will also have tea or will portal somewhere in the city and find a scenic spot to watch dumb videos on his phone

Raph- tries to force himself to sleep but when that doesn’t happen will do rounds of the lair and make sure everyone else is getting sleep at least

Donnie- also lab time, but more specifically the botanical side of things

The late night surprise hallway interaction between donnie and ronin in chapter 12 has been haunting—nay plaguing my mind they are both so so dumb in the most affectionate way

If you havent yet read Over the Rainbow by @vanillavengeance DO IT NOWWW READ IT NOW!!!

Erm also hi yes im the anon that pointed this interaction out to you earlier lol

[vanillavengeance]

Havshshwokwnxbshqhshwbwhsbw—it’s so much more comical visually HAHA 🧡🧡 (and the lore accurate kappa lmaoooooo)

[vanillavengeance]

I have been rereading Over The Rainbow as I usually do (I am the anon who sent you the Dodie song suggestion last year and same anon who pointed out Ronin's obsession's with 2012 Raph's plastron chip because his subconscious is connecting it to his universe's Raph)

ANYWAY I noticed something very funny(to me) back in chapter 12. When Ronin and Donnie had that late night accidental run in with each other in the hallway. Donnie bowing to Ronin and Ronin bowing back makes me think that Donnie was elbow deep in Kappa research and remembered the way of befriending/trick a kappa to drop its guard(or avoiding being attacked) is bowing to it and it's strong manners compel the yokai to bow back. Sleep deprived Doonnie probably was going like "??? is he actually a kappa ???" after and for sure added that interaction to his "Ronin=Kappa" Notes

Hello again!! That’s also 100% what I had in mind when I wrote that scene. Donnie misinterpreted a beaten in instinct to bow back to ‘superiors’ from Ronin and muddied the kappa vs mutant waters even further lmao
