Today’s random thought is: Señor Hueso converting Run of the Mill Pizza into a rebellion HQ-hideout during the Krang War.

But also—Hueso Jr. stepping up to continue the operation when something terrible happens to Señor Hueso. (Insert Leo being super protective over Hueso Jr… and then when the Krang destroy RotMP, he looks to little kid Casey like, “I won’t let them take you too…”)

There’s a show on TV called “Rico to the Rescue” who’s this repair guy fixing botched houses.

My brain immediately went “Repo to the Rescue” but it’s a show where Repo ‘says’ he’s gonna fix cars but either makes them worse or repos them.

And the Mad Dogz are gathered around the TV like, “Man, what kind of chump would fall for this??”

And the camera cuts to Splinter showing Repo the Turtle Tank.

Hewo! I really enjoyed reading your Smoke and Mirrors fanfic! Hypno being kind and taking care of Donnie rlly made my day, lol. Do you plan to update it anytime soon?

Hewo!! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it! 😊✨

Short Answer: :’) not anytime soon, but it will update!

Long Answer: Chapter 6 exists in bits and pieces (roughly over 1000 words). I think I need to re-write it a little bit so it flows better & re-watch some episodes; I’ve become rusty 🥲

I’m also nearing the completion of grad school 🎉 (hopefully) two more terms to go after this one. I’m looking forward to shaking off the cobwebs and re-visiting my fics.

One day, we’ll get to see more Donnie & Hypno shenanigans 😌 !!

#tmngoosepost #ye olde ask box #all of chapter 3 is my favorite of smoke and mirrors #I read it for serotonin because school sure ain’t giving it to me lol

This is my periodic “I miss writing my fics and talking about rottmnt” so you guys know I’m still alive ;v;

It’s a hot summer day in Draxum’s apartment and the warm air makes it easy to be lazy.

Draxum places a bowl of ice cubes sits in front of a rotary fan while Huginn and Muninn nap on the hardwood floor where it’s coolest. It’s important to mention that Muninn is ‘splooting’ like a Corgi dog. Every so often, the gargoyles flap their wings; it helps them regulate their body temperature.

The Baron opens the fridge door. He sighs, the cool air feels amazing. He opens the freezer door and rests his chin on the ledge of ice. He hears Huginn and Muninn stir. Draxum knows they want ice cubes; it’s the toll for opening the freezer.

Draxum takes a can of apple juice from the fridge, gives his gargoyles their beloved cubes of ice, and plops down onto the sofa. He can feel himself starting to stick to it… and it’s not even leather!

He muses to himself as he cracks open his can of juice. Maybe an air conditioner is a worthy investment to spend his earnings on after all.

Me: Ever since that minisode, my brain has been enjoying the idea of Donnie developing an interest in cats, which in turn has him hanging out at the junkyard more, which in turn has him working with Repo—

Also Me: Okay but imagine Donnie, Loathsome Leonard, and Repo disassembling a car together. And remember, Donnie’s never met Leonard and vice versa, so there’s no ill-will between them like there would be between Raph & the Mud Dogs. And it’s just the three of them talking about whatever it is they wanna talk about.

Me:

Please consider Mikey ‘adopting’ feral Shredder as if he were some kind of wild dog he found one day.

Like, he hides him in his room, sneaks him around the lair, blames any damages done to the TV on Donnie…

And then he has to deal with his brothers and Splinter giving him the whole “you cannot keep it as a pet! It is a powerful demon entity destined to destroy the world!”

Only to have Mikey be all “🥺 but look at him!!!”

Are you going to update frenemies?

One day… 🥲

I haven’t forgotten about any of my fics. I’ve just been too wrapped up in grad school & and few personal matters.

#grad school is suffering #tmngoosepost

While I was watching the ✨new minisodes✨ I started coughing when I saw Mrs. Nubbins because I thought Repo was going to show up like, “HEY! What the heck are youse doin’ with my cat?!”

He doesn’t show up but it was nice seeing the junkyard again 🥲

Also Meat Sweats!!! Always happy to see an ELoM homie! 🥺✨

Repo Mantis: (holding one of his cats for Leonard to pet) It takes a pet like no problem.

Loathsome Leonard: (gently petting the cat in Repo’s pincers) Yeah…

Repo Mantis: Right? Not afraid at all! That’s a great cat right there…

Untitled Post-Movie Raph story. I’ll rewrite this and put it on Ao3 when my brain wants to cooperate 😮‍💨 Tags & Spoilers under the cut:

Characters: Raph, Donnie, Leo, Mikey, April, mentioning of the Krang

Rating: General Audience

Tags: Hurt/comfort lite, Hiding medical ailments, vision problems, eye trauma lite, concern, alternative writing style where I’m not really in the mood to beta 🤷‍♀️

A/N: Loosely inspired by the original concept that Raph was going to lose his eye.

———

Raph keeps rubbing his eye. The right one. At first, nobody thinks anything of it—not even Raph.

It’s only when Raph starts squinting that Donnie becomes more observant of his older brother’s newly acquired habit. Donnie mentions his concerns to April—quietly, and off to the side. Mikey sees them ‘sharing secrets’ and invites himself in on their conversation.

Donnie and April know it’s easier to just tell Mikey what’s worrying them than try dismantling the Boxshell’s curiosity with a lie. So they tell him. Mikey’s playfulness fades, his demeanor shifts; this is serious. They figure it’s best to see what Leo thinks of this whole situation.

They find Leo in his train car with a comic book covering his face. He snores into the pages. He doesn’t sleep much at night; he’s still anxious about the Krang—another issue to address for a different day. It’s easy to wake the Slider from his nap. Once Leo’s coherent, Donnie jumps straight to the point; there’s something afoot with Raph’s eye.

The right one, right?

So you’ve noticed it too, April furrows her brow.

Who hasn’t? Leo matches April’s expression.

It’s a tender subject that Leo doesn’t know how to breach. Raph knows his scars bring everyone back to the day of the Krang—back to the day where they almost lost him—where they almost lost Leo—where so much was on the line.

It’s evident that avoiding the topic was not their best solution. They’ll approach this together, and as soon as possible. Gently.

———

One day, in the main room of the lair, Donnie catches Leo’s attention; a subtle head nod signals his twin to look over at Raph. The Slider perks up.

Hey, Raph? You okay, big guy?

April and Mikey glance over at the Snapping turtle. This is it, they think, we’re finally taking care of this…

My eye’s been buggin’ me. Must’ve got an eyelash or somethin’.

Donnie takes his cue. I would agree with you, dearest Raphalo, if it weren’t for the fact that we lack such follicles. Shall I have a lookie-roo at your ocular pruritis?

Raph jumps down from the top of the train car where he keeps his weights. Donnie leads him to Splinter’s armchair, the cushions warm from Mikey and April’s occupancy. Leo joins the group as Dr. Donnie; optometry equipment that emerges from his battle shell. He examines the right eye. Then the left eye. Then the right one again—just to be sure.

His findings… are not good.

Well? Raph rubs his eye.

Donnie isn’t sure how to break the news but he knows he can’t stay quiet for too long—the absence of reassurance is already a telling sign that something is wrong.

Macular degeneration. Optic neuritis. Donnie reports his findings as quickly as possible, rationalizing that if he says them fast enough, they won’t sound as scary.

If we start treatment now, then statistically speaking, we can restore your vision, or at the very least, prevent further damage! Donnie turns to Leo, Mikey, and April. He delegates responsibilities. April and Mikey help Donnie prep the med-bay while Leo discourages Raph from touching his eye.

Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell any of us? Leo holds his big brother’s hand, squeezing it lightly.

I thought it was all in my head. That maybe it would go away on its own! I didn’t want to worry anyone. Raph squeezes back—quelling his urge to itch with the task of comforting Leo.

Mikey reappears. The med-bay is ready. He helps Leo bring in the patient.

———

Donnie presents Raph with an eye-patch. It’s opaque; the material minimizes light sensitivity. It’s also a very fancy piece of tech, functioning like the Softshell’s goggles.

Raph dons the eyepatch. He grins. Just like a pirate.

OH MY WORD I LOVE YOUR CIRCUS AU!!! Do you have a fanfic to go with it or something? And could I have the masterpost for it?

Maaaaaan, I miss Circus AU 😭🥲

A “Battle of the Big Tops” prequel exists as partially written but never finished. Like with many of my -ahem- ‘ambitious’ endeavors, they’re waiting in the wings for me to finish (or start) them.

Maybe one day, I’ll return to it — I don’t want to leave my fics unfinished, but hot tamales, grad school really drains your creativity 😮‍💨

Ok but consider (movie spoilers under cut)

Leo asking Casey “is this the future” as a reference point for comparing their timelines.

And THEN—After Casey tells Leo about how his brothers/everyone dies fighting the Krang, the reason Leo hugs Mikey & Donnie while saying he’s glad nobody died…

… it’s because, he’s thinking about Casey’s timeline. Knowing that His brothers die fighting the Krang but not knowing if THAT particular battle was when it happens.

Do you feel me? My brain’s kinda mush right now OTL

Episode idea involving Albearto promotional plushies at Teddy Bear Town. They turn out to be an evil team-up concocted by Albearto and Baxter Stockboy, who plan on using the robotic teddy bears to do their bidding. Stockboy programs his to make people subscribe and donate to his channel, whereas Albearto uses his for world domination… or stealing his competitors’ frozen pizzas from people’s freezers.
