I admire and sympathize with Leonardo. Everything is raging inside me, from anger to frustration, I scream and cry, I hurt myself and others, verbally and physically, and he is like that...wow. He is a mutant turtle, hunted by the most terrible enemies, but he is so collected. That discipline, that calmness, that honor and that burden on his shoulders. But this guy doesn't scream or cry, he fights, he improves. Every time I try to figure out, does he keep something to himself or does all the frustration disappear after meditation? Leo scared me at the beginning of the fourth season of the 2003 version, as if he could not and did not want to let go of that guilt and pain, it accumulated inside him and rotted, making him angry and cold. I respect Leo, because he got out of it, coped with PTSD. My journey in the turtle universe is just beginning, but I am sure that more than once I will see Leo get up from his knees and move on. A real fighter.
So you see, I had this idea that Mario would be offered to start residing part time at the castle at some point. It would only make sense (with him and Peach rapidly becoming very close friends and all), and he would even be given his very own quarters to sleep in. But the man wouldn't feel all that comfortable in this highly fancy environment, and unbeknownst to the Princess, he would sometimes set up a cozy spot for himself in the workshop instead.
It would be on one such occasion that Peach would go look for him, and be strongly reminded of the importance to knock. 🤣
I know she's usually grace and elegance personified, but I just HAD to give her one derpy expression to demonstrate the absolutely huge crush she actually has on Mario. ;D 💘
these are my faves.. angsty gidget and ceclam X3 it was just gonna be cecil but then i realised i MUST draw orlam too.. and gidget. but i didnt know where to put them so theyre just a silly little creecher in the middle there. ehe. i might do a full proper drawing of the first one, i rlly rlly like it. and i just love gidget. sob.
lil doodles + an orly i didnt rlly like. i dont think i drew iggy well at all here, at least how i like to picture him. the first one matches that a lot better XD. i was worried i made orlam too tall also so someone suggested i put an 'anime style pointer bubble to show him standing on an apple crate' and i thought that was really funny so i added it lol. i love them sm
thinking abt gidget always.... them feeling all rotted and wrong and terrible and iggy being this kind of all encompassing light but in such a delirious way... idk XD but that is the thought behind the drawing. then just orlam arc 3 death cartoonishly XD
i drew more but these the ones i liked the most ^w^
Rainbow steve absolutely has trauma and maybe even a scar/scars from early on when he and sabre were fighting. Sabre feels so so horrible about it, even tho rainbow steve has completely forgiven him and has told him a thousand times it was just a misunderstanding and that it's ok. But sabre still remembers it and tears himself up abt it inside.
Rainbow steve is just sad sabre keeps on getting upset about it when he's said so many times that it's okay. He still has nightmares sometimes, but both the dreams and the memories themselves are jumbled and fuzzy and full of static, so he should be fine right? Even tho sometimes, especially when weakened or around large amounts of lava he just feels
wrong.
But they'll survive. They'll get through it, together. Even when rainbow steve wakes from a particularly bad nightmare crying, and sees his best friend, not enemy, sabre there to comfort him. Even when rainbow sees sabre eerily still, staring off into nowhere while tense with puffed up feathers, and tackles him into a hug. They're safe, and they're together
