Another scene that wouldn’t leave my brain alone. And I want to pad my word count before 2022 is over so I’m trying to write all the things while December is still going.

Behind the Yellow Line
Mona Lisa looked up from her computer when she realized her house had gone suspiciously quiet. Her mothering instincts told her she should check on the family. With a stretch, she stood and walked out of her office. In the main living room she found Leonardo passed out on the couch in an awkward position. The streaming service on the TV asked if he was still watching. The twins were nowhere to be found.
That was odd. Normally, her Energizer Bunny of a boyfriend could keep up with their two boys. On the rare days they wore even him out, her sons would come get her. After navigating Leonardo into a more comfortable position and placing a blanket over his slumbering body, she continued her search for her children.
She found the two three-year-olds sitting outside Donatello's workshop, each quietly holding a hardcover picture book. Waiting.
“What are you two up to?” she asked pleasantly.
“Waiting for Dad,” DJ said simply.
“Read us stories,” LJ added happily.
Her normally boisterous boys seemed completely content to sit quietly outside the lab, though Mona wasn't happy about what she found. Why would Donatello just leave his sons out here alone while he ignored them?
“Does he know you're out here?” she asked.
They both shrugged.
“Did you tell him you're here?”
“Dad says we can't go in,” DJ said.
“I see. Give me a minute to talk to him.”
She walked into the lab to find Donatello, as usual, surrounded by a plethora of gadgets while he was working on a particularly large piece of machinery with a blow torch. Mona stood behind him as he worked. He had no idea she had entered until she loudly cleared her throat.
At the sound, Donatello's head curiously shot up. Goggles on, he looked even more alien as he glanced from one side to the other, then behind him.
“Oh, hey.”
She moved up next to him. “Did you know your sons have been waiting outside for you?”
He balked and looked toward the doorway. Then he raised his goggles, looked at her in confusion and then back at the door. “For me?”
Tumblr media
This was something new. Usually, he was the odd man out when it came to parenting. As the stay at home dad, Leonardo was the first one the kids went to if they wanted anything. Next, they would go to their mother. Those two were usually enough to satisfy whatever they needed.
“I didn't know they were out there.”
“They said you told them they couldn't come in.”
“Right. It's dangerous in here. They shouldn't ever just walk in.” He paused, still in confusion over the unexpected situation. “Why are they waiting for me?”
She smiled. “They want you to read to them.”
His eyes widened. “They do?”
Donatello immediately shed all his protective gear and swept out of the room with a, “Who wants stories?”
A collection of cheers and happy chirps was his answer. As he gathered his children, he looked at their book selections and frowned. These weren't educational at all. But then he saw Mona watching him from the doorway.
“A bit rudimentary on your choices, my boys, but we can make it work.”
As he carried them off and settled in one of their beds, Donatello decided the book choices didn't matter. His sons were curled up in his lap, enthralled with each word he spoke. Mona came in as he was reading and climbed in bed, too. Snuggled against his side, her chin on his shoulder, she was the first one to fall asleep. By the end of the second book, he had three slumbering reptiles curled up around him. Not a bad way to end a day.
While not tired, he was content to remain where he was for a while. His hands couldn't be busy at the moment, but his mind always was. And it had a problem to solve: that of his sons and the lab.
*************
The next evening, Mona removed her headphones after a late-night zoom call with yokai and mutants advocacy group. There were members—mostly of the yokai variety—from all over the globe, so the meetings were often held at odd times.
She had been on meeting calls and sending e-mails all day. Her back was stiff and she was hungry. After snacking in the kitchen, she wandered into the living room to find Leonardo watching TV alone. She leaned over the back of the couch, hugging him around the neck.
“Where's the kids?”
He put a hand on her arm and leaned his temple to her check without breaking eye contact with the TV. “I dunno. Donnie has them.”
“That was nice of him. I'm going to go see what they're up to.”
She kissed Leonardo's temple before she went, but that was apparently enough to earn all his attention. He caught her arm and pulled her back.
“Hey, you can at least give me a little more of that before you leave.”
She bent over the couch and kissed him with a grin. But Leonardo still wasn't satisfied as he pulled her whole body over the back of the couch. She fell on him, giggling, and they shared a few more kisses.
“I bet we could steal a quickie in the bedroom if we go right now,” he murmured to her.
He really was an Energizer Bunny in a turtle's body, but Mona merely kissed his nose and moved off him.
“Let me check on the boys first, then we'll see about that.”
Leonardo sighed. “Alright. You know where to find me.”
Her hand lingered affectionately in his before she moved on down the hall. This time, there were no toddlers lurking outside the workshop. Within came the sounds of happy chatter. She poked her head in the find a different room than the night before.
Everything in the lab had been pushed back. It left far less room for Donatello to work, but made space for a few feet of open area near the door and the newly-painted bright yellow line on the floor. Planted firmly behind it were LJ and DJ, playing with connectable building toys that were probably a little more advanced than their age, but they seemed happy enough.
Nearby, Donatello had pulled a work table close to them and was currently fiddling with his own project. He nodded along as the twins chatted at him. Sometimes it was in English, sometimes it was chirps and their own version of twin speak, but he continued nodding like he understood it all. Then he glanced down and pointed a toe at the tower DJ was building.
“Son, you need to fortify your base. You have to make the foundation sturdy if you want to build that any higher.”
Mona couldn't help but smile. Donatello always spoke to his sons like they were tiny adults. Even when all they could speak was reptile chirps and baby gibberish. He was never one for baby talk and there was something endearing about that.
She leaned against the frame, watching unnoticed. She knew Donatello felt the most disconnected from the kids and it wasn't always his fault with the nature of his work schedule. She was proud of him for jumping on this opportunity when it presented itself.
After a while, Leonardo joined her at the door. He watched with a smile and then leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Just give me five minutes.”
She smirked at him and whispered back. “With you, it's never just five minutes.”
“Mm, you can put that on my five-star Yelp review,” he murmured into her hair.
“Oh, you'll be three and a half stars at most.”
He snickered into her neck before pulling her away by the hand. “We'll see about that.”

Ib
I was recently reminded that this blog existed, and when I went back to check I noticed that I never finished writing those posts about my MTG x D&D card designs. I was going to make a new write-up about some other characters, before I went back to my notes and realized I already had something all written and ready, so here you go! Note that I wrote this somewhere at the end of 2022, so when I say "recently" it's not actually recent anymore, haha.
---
Whenever I talk about Kavrin, I act like he was this fan favorite character that everyone really liked. Uhh, he wasn’t. In reality, Ib was that character (at least, for the high school group), so I knew from the start I had to have a card for him.
Ib’s deal is that he’s an exceptionally smart goblin who has a penchant for inventing bizzare and unweildly devices. Here was the first design I created to try and capture that:
June 2021
Tumblr media
This design was pretty directly inspired by a pre-existing card from Throne of Eldraine:
Tumblr media
The idea of making a random token each turn I thought would fit with Ib’s erratic inventiveness. You never quite know what he’ll make for you, but you always know it’ll be an artifact with some sort of activated ability, and that pushes this card towards some sort of artifact deck. All around, pretty neat!
Ib stayed like this for a while, even up until I was creating the mock-ups to have them printed earlier this year. I only started to get a little uncomfortable with this design fairly recently, when I thought about how hard it is to actually make use of the trinkets Ib makes for you. They all cost so much mana to activate that part of me felt like you never would, and really Ib might as well just make you a blank artifact for artifact synergies instead. 
That’s not nearly as cool, so I thought of ways to fix it. What if Ib’s trinkets had a cheaper cost, but they sacrificed themselves, so you only got one use out of them? Well, Magic already defines more than three artifact tokens that sacrifice themselves: Clues, Treasure, and Food. Just have Ib make one of those at random! Except, none of those have the cool artificer flavor that Ib has. He’s supposed to make you some strange device, not food.
Okay, fine, the sacrifice idea is out. How else could I make Ib more exciting given that all his tokens have a prohibitivly high cost to use them?
September 2022
Tumblr media
Simple, just have Ib let you activate them for free! Ib also uses the “roll a d20” technology that wasn’t introduced to the game until the D&D crossover sets for added flavor.
For those of you less versed in magic-ese, here’s what this card does in simple english. Some artifact cards have abilities that are denoted as COST : EFFECT, with the COST and EFFECT separated by the colon. You can activate them all you want while the card's on the board, as long as you can pay the COST. Normally, you always have to pay the COST to get the EFFECT, but here Ib lets you get the EFFECT for free if it’s the first ability you activate that turn. So, for example, if Ib makes the gadget that lets you draw a card, instead of paying 3 mana and tapping the artifact, you can just draw the card. This is really cool!
Magic players love trying to “break” cards, where they find some combination that causes what would otherwise be a good or even mundane effect totally game-winning. Let’s play that game with Ib!
Tumblr media
Get the best card out of my deck once per turn for free? Don’t mind if I do!
Tumblr media
Remember that abilities are formatted as COST : EFFECT, so you can activate lux cannon’s second ability without removing any counters if you have Ib on the field. Blow up a permanent every turn? Seems pretty good to me!
Tumblr media
Take infinite turns? Oh, so these two cards just win the game if you play them both… Well, at least the sieve here is in a different color from Ib, so you have to be three or more colors to play them both.
Tumblr media
Oh, this one’s colorless. Wait, no - stop, hold on…
Tumblr media
…yeah, okay, this version of Ib is pretty busted.
Still, it’s not impossible to salvage - and the fix is pretty subtle, too. See if you can spot it!
Final Version
Tumblr media
Now his ability only blanks the mana cost; you still have to pay non-mana costs. So, he still works with planar bridge, but now you would have to remove the counters from lux cannon, you would have to sacrifice five artifacts with time sieve, and you would have to sacrifice mindslaver if you want to use those effects. Phew!
