PREMIER: Ghost in the Shell Part 2

Read Ghost in the Shell Part 2: Chapter 1 here!

“You are unauthorized to be out of bed at this time,” the robot informed him.

“Who’re you?” Ghost asked, voice rough.

“I am Shelldon,” it answered. “Your automated smart lair.”

“Directive,” Ghost muttered.

“I clean, cook, give massages, provide musical–”

“Okay.” Ghost held up a hand to stop him. “Where’s Donnie?”

“You are unauthorized to be out of bed at this time,” Shelldon repeated.

“I need coffee,” Ghost grunted, and kept walking towards the kitchen.

“Toffee blend from Petrichor Cafe with one cream and one sugar.”

The offered steaming mug blocked Ghost’s path. Hesitantly, he took it, watching Shelldon carefully. “Thanks,” Ghost said. “Where’s Donnie now?”

“You are unauthorized–”

“To be out of bed, yeah, yeah. Where’s Donnie?”

[sewerpeaches]

So, the fandom jokes about how fucked up SAINW is and how it messed us up as kids, etc.

My guys... my buddies... pals...

If Peter Laird had gotten his way... the damage to thousands of children’s psyches would have been incalculable...

Cut to Karai's ship bringing the challenger to face the Shredder, in whatever arena setting is deemed appropriate. The Shredder awaits, huge, imperious, threatening, supremely confident. Legions of Foot ninja ring the area. Nearby, something about eight feet tall and four feet around is draped with a covering bearing the Shredder's mark. Karai's ship settles to the ground... the hatch opens, dropping to the ground (like a ramp) and down it comes Karai. She stops and bows to the Shredder. Then, a Turtle comes down the ramp -- it's Mike. The Shredder is as amused as Karai was at the impertinence of this crippled adversary. But before he can spew too many insults, another Turtle comes down the ramp. It's Raph. Then Leo comes down the ramp and joins his brothers. Now the Shredder chuckles. This is more like it! Two almost worthy adversaries. The Shredder smirkingly reminds the Turtles of the rules -- they can't BOTH fight him -- they have to pick one. "Maybe you need help in making that decision," he says -- "Perhaps another vote...?" With that, he rips the covering off the thing next to him. Horrified gasps from the Turtles -- because what is revealed is that universe's Donatello, posed stiffly on a pedestal. Stiffly, that is, because he's DEAD and STUFFED! (IF we can't get away with this, maybe we could have him frozen or something.)

—Peter Laird, 2k3 cartoon development notes [Blast from the Past #386: Mar. 22, 2004: Re: TMNT - 73 Outline]

what the fuck do you mean "if we can't get away with this"? of course you can't fucking get away with showing don’s taxidermied corpse on a children’s tv show, peter.

Double Vision

AU Masterpost

So I might have forgotten to say it, but in this AU, time doesn't just stop after 2003 Donny, 2012 Mikey, and Rise Raph get mentally linked. After getting their mental connection, they continue to live their lives and the adventures that come in the episodes.

So while Raph does get a bit of rest after the movie, 2003 Donny follows the 2003 third season, and 2012 Mikey jumps straight into the 2012 fourth season.

And what happens during those seasons I wonder-

#mind' o wave au #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #tmnt crossover #tmnt 2003 #same as it never was #sainw #tw dissociation #raph's right eye is not fully blind but still damaged after the Kraag #so his vision gets painful and blurry at time #and he wears his eyepatch when he needs to rest his vision #except that as the mental link keeps getting stronger and stronger #sometimes his right eye vision is overtook by what 2003 Donny or 2012 Mikey see #Which is the case here #i'd say i'm sorry but i'm not #Told ya I'll put the sillies through the horrors #Also don't worry too much about Rise Leo he's just taking a nap #:)

03 Don yelling at Leo: WHAT ARE YOU BLI——

03 Don: *SAINW Flashbacks* —ndddd….

03 Don: Okay I retract that statement

03 Leo: *Confused*

Ghost in the Shell Update

Read Chapter 11 here!

“So why’d you want to do this with me suddenly?” Ghost asked.

“We have 38 facial muscles,” Donnie stated. “Six of which you use.”

Ghost let out a quiet breath that Donnie had learned to identify as his laugh.

“Why do you ask?” Donnie tilted his head and placed a hand on Ghost’s beak to keep him still as he delicately drew out the corners. “Can’t a boy draw eyebrows on a parental unit in peace?”

Another breath.

“Parental unit?”

“That’s what you are at this point,” Donnie dismissed.

“Glad to be of service,” Ghost mumbled. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that. He didn’t feel like these boys’ dad. That was Splinter’s job, though at this point it was hard to say he wasn’t co-parenting.

Terrifying. That’s what it felt like.

Weathered Strings, Tethered Wings Updates

I always forget that Tumblr exists, but I thought maybe I could start posting random updates here for my current main TMNT project, Weathered Strings, Tethered Wings.

This cover art was drawn by my amazing friend and beta reader, @joyfuladorable

Hello. I am Deadpool (also known as DP by some). The fic mentioned above is based around the 2003 iteration of TMNT, and is a Same As It Never Was AU focused more on healing than anything (with a couple of speed bumps, of course). As of now, I have five chapters live and nine queued up, with the fic updating every Saturday around midnight EST.

This master list is more for me than you guys so I can keep track of the updates I make (I'm pretty forgetful and don't want to repeat myself too much). If you're here, though, welcome to the chaos that is my unorganized mind, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

Updates:

Ch.1-6 Art>

“Even if there’s a chance that it’s him,” she says to him in a soft voice, “the Raphael I know would take it. Don’t make me regret coming here, Raph.”

Ohhhh-kay, so I'm beta reading this fic and am definitely a Little Biased, but trust me when I say it's SO GOOD!! Such an excellent and interesting canon divergence that also gets right into the muck of the drama between Raph, Mikey, and Leo. You're gonna wanna buckle in for this one, folks!
