GREGOR THE OVERLANDER MY BELOVEDDDDDD PLEASE TELL ME ALL YOUR HOT TAKES ON THE SERIES IT WAS MY FAVORITE AS A KID AND I'VE NEVER MET ANYBODY ELSE WHO'S EVEN HEARD OF IT <333333
I need more people to read those books, damn it!!!! I grew up on those bad boys! I read them as they were releasing! When everyone lost their shit over The Hunger Games books I was like, hey, go read her other books, too!!!! The Underland Chronicles are so fucking good, damn it! AAAAAAAAAA----
Ahem.
I love them. I don't believe that every book needs a film adaptation, but I do believe that TUC deserves an animated television series adaptation. Suzanne Collins got her start writing for TV, and that absolutely translates into her prose. The way it's paced would make it fucking fantastic as a book-per-season cartoon. NOT live-action, though--I don't think any of the creature characters would translate into CGI very well, and any semblance of "realistic" lighting would be utter hell to watch. Animation with clever use of color tones would be much more effective at selling the underground settings.
That said, just imagining the nightmare of trying to portray some of the events of that series in film form without getting slammed by TV censors...oof. The on-page genocide and the whole "carpet of corpses" scene alone would be brutal. I want to see what a dedicated team could do with it to make it the most heart-wrenching scene in all of children's media. God.
@ whoever makes TV decisions, let me make a TUC animated series, I want it so bad. Fuck. I have a mental cast list already half-made. Give me Wendie Malick as Solovet, Steven Yeun as Gregor, Keston John as Gregor's dad...I know I've had more ideas, but I forget what they are at the moment. Get Mark Hamill in there somewhere, just because I love him. Tara Strong can be Boots. Get Matt Mercer in there as one of the villains, but not Pearlpelt because Pearlpelt is way too pathetic for that. Shit, maybe Matt Mercer as Ripred--not a villain, but that absolute menacing vibe he gets sometimes demands a VA who can pull off sinister and sincere in equal measure.
I have ideas, is what I'm saying here.
Personally, I would list Suzanne Collins' work in The Underland Chronicles to be one of the biggest influences on my writing style. I don't write for children, but the "paced like a television show" style is something I aim for, and the complex politics with infinite depths of nuance that can't be neatly summarized as "good guys vs bad guys" is all over my writing.
Also Ripred is the Most Character Of All Time. Sad Dad Rat Man, my beloved. I want to know more about his army of lobsters.

AU where Leo is trapped in the Prison Dimension for months instead of minutes and the only way he gets by with his sanity intact is through recording himself talking to his wrist comm.
When they finally manage to get Leo back and make him rest up to heal, Donnie can’t help but listen to the recordings left behind.
He’s not sure what exactly he’s expecting, only that his subconscious is screaming at him that it has to be heartbreaking, that it has to be torturous.
Instead, what Donnie is subject to is a full thousand hours’ worth of Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu crossover fanfiction. More than one part in the series. Spanning well over a million words.
(The worst part is that it’s actually good.)
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#donnie keeps the comms going on in the background as he works#when he gets to the end he’s like what the hell…where’s the rest#donnie: leo where’s part nine#leo barely cognizant after not needing sleep for months: whuh-#donnie: you can’t leave it at a cliffhanger. leo. leo where’s the next part.#listen leo has a great memory for his special interests this is CANON plus he’s a great talker so he would totally be able to do this frfr#whenever he needs to be quiet he’s SILENT but otherwise he’s regaling the exploits of his idols to the captive audience that is The Photo#sometimes Krang sneaks up on him and just listens to him talk like ????#it starts both as leo trying to comfort himself with his favorite things PLUS comfort himself with thoughts of his father#as splinter makes his own crossover fanfiction when sick lol plus he’s Literally Lou Jitsu#and yes krang ALSO gets a bit invested#leo notices the reduction of Ouch but hey more time for rambling fanfic for him 👍#idk leo’s a damn good actor/liar/planner/schemer and I genuinely think that can pivot into storytelling so well#the literal second mikey’s hands heal donnie zooms to his side with hand stabilizers and a request to draw ‘scene 82 from recording 3’#mikey’s like what#so obvs now HE needs to listen as he works#he too gets invested#he comes across raph who mentions having trouble sleeping#mikey: have I got the podcast fanfic for you!#it only somewhat helps raph sleep#somewhat bc sometimes he forces himself to stay awake to hear the rest#yes these recordings go to the whole fam and leo is none the wiser#they don’t even mean to hide it it just never comes up lol#it’s only when donnie FINALLY makes it to the end of the recordings that he confronts leo to continue the story#leo: oH YOU HEARD ALL THAT HUH-

Lone Raph and Cat! I love the big gruff one being the softest on the inside, gotta be one of my favorite tropes.
Raph in Rise seems to be pretty disliked by animals despite his love for them, which may be because he’s a bit too eager to pet them so he seems scary to such a small animal. I’m sure that, if taught to let them come to up to him first, cats would find Raph as perfect a climbing tree as his brothers do! Let him pet all the cats, he deserves it!

Rise!Leo reassuring mm!Leo that everything will be okay cus we need some wholesome shit in the fandom rn smh. (For me the relationship between mm!Leo and Rise!Leo is that mm!Leo will act annoyed when he is around R!leo but in actuality, he adores the shit out of that smug asshole.) (This is also an apology comic for being gone for so long, save me guys, school in not letting me go frfrfrfr)

Does Swanatello Donatello have all his memories back now? Are his memory problems gone?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes and no? He has a majority of his memories back, even if some of them are still fuzzy, but that doesn't mean his memory is fixed... but he's getting better every day!

In a sky full of stars, I think I see you
Just finished this piece in under 5 hours because of @somerandomdudelmao ‘s series. I’ve had this planned out for months, I just never got around to painting it until now. If you can’t make it out, the silhouette is Mikey with Leo’s jar next to him from a couple issues ago.

people always write about Leo having this messy love life where we gets his heart broken every other week but I really feel like it’s underappreciated how catastrophic Donnie’s love life is going to be
his stated type is “cute but mean”
he and his exes are going to be mailing each other pipe bombs

The Preferable Alternative- Prologue - Part 1
Start (you are here) - Previous (none) - Next
New au. I can't explain the main thought behind this without spoilers. And since i'm jumping straight into a multi-part comic, i won't be giving out any.
Basically vibes for this is that it's kinda creepy and maybe suspenseful with eventual hurt/comfort (if that doesn't make sense, im sorry, i have a hard time describing things). I'm also pretty mean to Donnie. Not "Donnie vs" mean, but unfortunately this idea wouldn't work with anyone else.
(for those that get anxious, like me. There is no main character death. (might not be death at all but we shall see. that depends on one character and even i'm not sure exactly what they'd do yet.) and no one's gets serious physical injuries. Definitely more hurt/comfort than plain angst. b/c that's how i roll. I can't do straight up angst.)
I'll write a proper summery once the prologue's done. I don't want to spoil it too much. For now, just know it's a PB&J duo story that happens during the 6 weeks before the Krang invasion.

Some more little character sketches!
Raph gets some pretty badass moments, and his power set is pretty cool! I like how he is more of a wall of defense for the litte fellas on the team, seeing as sai were used not only for stabbing, but also defense and disarming. He reminds me of Leatherhead, one of my favorite characters from 2003, but in keeping with the general characterization of Raphael
My sister used to own a couple pairs of red sai growing up! I used to sneak into the room with all her martial arts equipment and try to mimic the katas I’d see her do when no one was around to tell me off for playing with weapons. I wasn’t all that good at it lol
Also some Dorky Pals and Dog too! I love their friendship
