Chapter 16: Angel now up on AO3!

When Usagi wakes up that morning, Angel is already waiting for him. Her presence brings back old memories. Or: In which Donatello does not message Leatherhead, and Usagi does not join Splinter for a chat.

Our girl is here! Maybe things can finally start moving forward now.

Also in this chapter: Shoutout to the wedding of all time, and how Usagi meant it when he said "I do".

This shot from "The Shredder Strikes - Part 2" is making me giggle like an idiot.

Why do they look like this? They're just waiting for the Shredder to show up, but they look like they're posing for a music album cover or something.

Y’know, we don’t really see April feeling bad for those rats she threw to the Mousers when she first showed up working for Stockman, and like, it makes me once again think that she can match these scientific geniuses she works with very easily and has that same… unhingedness that comes with being like this? And I’m not saying she’s unhinged in that scene or in general but I am saying she’s a badass and when the situation requires it she can be extremely professional about what she’s doing

Day twenty! An unfortunate fate, but he may wake yet.

I have my own gripes with some "accepted" fanon takes on the 2k3 boys that are neither here nor there. But ascribing the 2k7 eye colors to 2k3 characters is something that can actually be so personal,,

Looking at old tmnt fan fiction and remembering that since the 2k3 turtles didn’t have canon eye colors, a lot of people just took the eye colors from the 2k7 movie and just retrofitted them onto the 2k3 turtles. So in old fics Raphael having golden eyes was allllll over the place.

I think Leo commonly had gray eyes and ofc Mikey had baby blues, but golden-eyed Raph was like. Such a specific, overwhelming phenomenon of that era that I very rarely see these days.

#yes raph in spiral has golden / amber eyes. #yes leo has grey eyes; mikey blue; don dark brown. #yes my wife and i took one look at the 'canon' eye colors in season 7 and went 'nah thanks though' #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3 #meta post #not ashamed to admit this #it also helps that i read 2k3 fanfic with these eye colors LONG before I watched 2k7 so when i did i was like oh! the official movie agrees #like they had just stolen the fan idea somehow lmao

Chapter 15: Ring now up on AO3!

Bishop is back, and he has a few questions for Leonardo. Well, complaints, really, if he's being honest.

Happy Monday! Whatever the week brings, at least it's... probably not that! Leo, bearing the cross for us all.

I really like this chapter, personally. Bit of a laugh, bit of a cry, the whole package. Let me know what you think.

#the spiral #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3 #katanashipping #tmnt fanfiction #this is a SHIPPY chapter imho and i love it #for that if nothing else #leo wants to tell the guy sooooo badly how in love he is. bless him

With Tales of the TMNT coming out next week. Remember, if you hear a voice in your head saying ‘fans of this iteration are so stupid and have no taste’, or ‘omg x version is better, and anyone who likes this version are dumb for liking it’ That is the Devil talking.

You don’t have to like the show, but don’t hate on people for liking it.

#remember the people who were hell bent on making everyone hate Rise before it came out? #don't be those people. #rant post

One of my absolute favorite tropes is “We have taken the one you love most!” “Oh, have you? Good fukken luck lmao” *distant screams of kidnappers as loved one escapes* or the flipside: “We’ve kidnapped you!” “You are in so much trouble. You are in so much fucking trouble. You are in the most trouble ever, oh my god.” *DOOR EXPLODES INWARDS AS LOVED ONE ARRIVES* and the alternate: *vehicle pulls up, door opens, person is shoved out, door slams, vehicle screeches away* “Did you get kidnapped??” “For a minute yeah”

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

#never falter in your enthusiasm. #my wife's sketched out AU ideas have inspired tens of thousands of words of my own fics #anything done with love is worth doing
