What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

Oop, sorry, I was on hiatus, sorry for the wait!!

Oh gosh, I love all the dynamics!! However, my favorite dynamics are disaster twins from rottmnt, and Mikey and Donnie from 2012.

Disaster Twins is just special to me, because they're twins who aren't twins. I have a sister like that, and everyone thinks we're twins, and we act like twins, but we're not. It just feels like a validating dynamic.

Then for TMNT 2012, I love Mikey and Donnie's dynamic. They act like they don't like each other, yet Donnie always lets Mikey chill in his lab, and Mikey takes Donnie's side quite frequently. They both have a passion for mixing things together, in either science, or food (though Mikey has done both.)

One dynamic I'd like to see explored a little better, would be Brains and Brawn from rottmnt. I fell like often, Raph acts more like a worried parent, which isn't really the role of brawn. I wanna see goofy Raph being all crazy, and Donnie being the only smart one about it. Its canon and its funny!!

Last dynamic that I feel like is important to bring up is Big Mama and Leo. Perfect villain rivalry!!

Thanks for the ask!!

Pls accept some TMNT 2012 doodles. One moody Raph, one tired Donnie, and an Ice Cream Kitty!! Btw, this is my first time sketching Ice Cream Kitty, and I’m real pleased with how she turned out!!

Thanks for recommending Deja Vu!! ^^

Fic or treat!! I'd loooove to see what you can recommend for something spooky for Halloween, any iteration will do! ^-^ (Angst is preferred over fluff, but it doesn't have to be particularly angsty.) Thank you!!

Fic or Treat Shyalia!! ^^

Ooh this should be fun!! I've got two recomendations for you!! A oneshot, and rottmnt horror story!!

The first one, would have to be this oneshot. It's very gruesome, but an excellent read if you enjoy gore and disturbing stories!!

The second one, is actually an interactive story!! Its a horror story, and the end of each chapter has a poll to vote on what to happen next!! Its quite immersive!! If you like a very in depth plot, this fic is for you!!

I would recommend The Day The World Broke, as that one is a PERFECT Halloween fic, though that seemed counterproductive as you're the beta reader to that fic lol.

Happy Halloween!!

❤️‍🩹Hiatus Notice!!❤️‍🩹

Hello everyone! Yes, you read that right, I'm going on a short hiatus that's going to last till November, which isn't super long, but long enough that I wanted to tell you all.

Now, its not going to be a hard hiatus, I'll still be on the site. I just won't really be posting, and I won't be updating any of my fanfics. College is kicking my butt harder than I thought it would, and October is always just so insanely busy...

I've been getting more and more depressed, and having more and more of a screen addiction issue. I spend hours on social media, doing nothing. So, I'm going to use this hiatus, as time to have a bit of a social detox (mostly meaning cutting out all the YouTube and Instagram I've been watching) so I can improve my mental state.

I seriously feel bad leaving you all on a cliffhanger for Deja Vu, but I want to be healthy enough to keep writing it. Right now, I'm too burnt out to write much of anything.

Nothing is cancelled, I'm just taking a little break ^^

Plus, I'm also going to use this time to work with @inkypawprint on something for When I Was Younger! The year anniversary is in December, and we've got plans!!

See you in November, and thank you all for the support!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

HGHFHFNGBGHGHGJB THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!

ohmigosh he’s such a precious baby!!! Gugnvjgbchgh my psycho baby hehe

the head pets, yeeeeeeeeee he so cute!!! THEN HE FREAKING STARE AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

fr fr like, the heck, I swear every single fanart you make gives me THE ULTIMATE INSPIRATION!!!! (I lose motivation freaking easily, so this is just beautiful!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3)

@sketchiefoxie

[sketchiefoxie]

I normally don’t reblog much, but holy heck this is amazing!!!! The animatic was so incredibly fun to watch, it had so many little details!!

I love love LOVE this fic, and I adore how the animatic went through the length of the story!!! Super impressive, super amazing!!

Happy 1 year anniversary for The Day The World Broke!!

Happy One Year Anniversary

to The Day the World Broke by @saladmix!!! She deserves all of the recognition for writing such an incredible and in-depth story, please go show her some love!!

To celebrate and show my immense appreciation, I spent the last two months working on an animatic for it. It's not perfect, but the vision is there and I'm honestly proud of myself for completing a major project like this. 100+ frames later (not all of them made the cut, unfortunately) it is finally complete just in time for the anniversary!

I'm about to ramble, I apologize in advance lol. Feel free to scroll down to the next blue text to see the animatic, please mind the spoiler and trigger warnings!

This fic is so important to me and holds a special place in my heart. I came across the first chapter the day it was posted, so early that it didn't even have any hits or kudos yet. The title and little description intrigued me so I clicked on it, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance because I was hooked from the first paragraph. Little did I know how much it would impact me that evening after raving about it to my best friend, during and after reading it. I'm not kidding when I say it has been on my mind every day for a full trip around the sun. Its AU is so unique that I haven't read anything like it before. The writing is beautiful, the storytelling is captivating, and the characterizations of the boys are so in-depth and relatable and a joy to read, the plot is insane and every chapter blows my mind... I could go on about it forever!!

I've read that first chapter more times than I can count, and the rest of it several times as well because even at 300k+ words, every single word is worth the time and energy. I'm always finding subtle details that are easily missed in earlier chapters that come up again later and I have a "WAIT HOLD UP" moment, like @saladmix is a genius I swear. When going back through chapters to locate details for my artwork to make it as accurate as I can, I always find myself getting lost reading because it just pulls me in, even though I already know what is about to happen... it's just that good.

Honestly, I can't get enough of this story, it means sooo much to me. It has inspired me to become a better artist, to have the courage to write my own stories, my enjoyment of reading has been rekindled, and most importantly, it connected us through a new friendship. @saladmix is such a kind person, she is so supportive and funny and a pleasure to talk to, I'm thankful to have her as a friend.

Okay, I'll stop rambling and let y'all see this animatic that I worked so long on! xD

Please be forewarned that it contains spoilers up to and including chapter 23, so if you have not read that far and want to avoid spoilers, save this to watch at a later date!

TW for brief images of knives and guns, and for light sensitivity as some very bright frames come up. I apologize if you're sensitive to those types of things!

Ficfinder finds: Deja Vu

Rottmnt Fanfic Summary: Supposedly, only a few days ago, someone died in the abandoned, and eligibly haunted sewers of NYC. Naturally, April decides to check it out. On a mission to explore the abandoned section of the NYC's sewers, April O' Neil and finds herself trapped after an accident, stuck with no way out. Something, or rather, multiple someone's seem to be living in these sewers, lurking behind the corners, watching from the shadows. Something terribly wrong is going on here; and the worst part? April feels like this isn't her first time living through this... This is a "choose the outcome" story, in which at the end of each chapter, all you readers get to vote on the options I supply, changing the outcome of the story!! Please note, this story is interactive, so there will be music to listen to, plus the occasional story important video link to click on during the actual chapter. Based off of this tumblr post, of the Rottmnt boys drawn in horror. https://www.tumblr.com/sketchiefoxie/758862240777682944/tw-disturbing-imageryhorror?source=share

Deja Vu: Appraisal and Ratings

(Don't know what fanfic "Appraisal and Ratings" means? Check out my explanation on my Main Masterpost! Looking for a different fanfic to read? Head on over to my Fanfic List Masterpost!)

Disclaimer: This fanfic is unfinished, and as such, this post will be updated as fanfic updates. This fanfic is written by @sketchiefoxie so go show them some love and support!! This fanfic is found on tumblr, and Ao3, though due to formatting, the fic is best read on tumblr. Ao3 link found here. This fic is a choose the outcome fic, meaning it is interactive, with a poll at the end of each chapter.

The fanfic ratings are not based on quality, favoritism, or how good I think it is, but rather, how intense a subject may be. Like a movie review, or the tags on Ao3, letting the readers know what to expect.

Plot: 💛💛💛💛💛

"Plot is five out of five!! The plot for this story is highly interesting!! Though the story isn't very far in at the moment, the plot is highly complicated and interesting!! The plot is also very horror based, with the story being quite suspenseful and scary! The most fun part of this story, is that its the readers that decide what happens next, voting at the end of each chapter to influence what happens next!!"

Suspense/Mystery: 💛💛💛💛💛

"Suspense/Mystery is five out of five!! This fanfic has a lot of suspense and mystery, with each chapter ending on some form of cliffhanger!! The suspense is only heightened due to the fact that anything could happen, as the readers decide what action to take next!! So much of the story hasn't yet been uncovered, leaving us all wondering what exactly is going on."

Angst/Hurt: 💛💛💛🖤🖤

"Angst/Hurt is three out of five!! So far, from what I've seen, the angst level in this fic is fairly prominent and will absolutely play a bigger part in the plot later on."

Fluff/Comfort: 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

"Fluff/Comfort is zero out of five!! As far as I've seen, and based off how the plot is right now, this fic has no comfort in it. Nothing seems to be comforting in this fic, instead, old comforts showing as fearful things."

Emotions Conveyed: 💛💛💛💛💛

"Emotions Conveyed is five out of five!! Deja Vu has a lot of suspense in it, and a big fear factor as well, as it is a horror story. It also has a big excitement factor, as like I mentioned earlier, the readers voting on each chapter are excited to see what will happen next."

Drama/Tension Level: 💛💛💛💛💛

"Drama/Tension Level is five out of five!! From what I've seen so far, this fic has drama and tension in it, and the tension will only grow!! As the plot progresses, hopefully, the drama will continue as well!!"

Triggers: 💛💛💛💛💛

"Triggers are five out of five!! From what's shown so far, this fanfic may turn out to be a very triggering one. Paring that with the tags on Ao3, this fanfic will absolutely have a lot of triggers. A few of the triggers are; Body horror, blood, gore, cannibalism, self-harm, vomiting, choking, suicide, and murder. That's not even all the tags. Like I said, this fic is very very dark so if that's your cup of tea, this story is for you!!"

Legibility (Reading): 💛💛💛🖤🖤

"Legibility (Reading) is three out of five!! Deja Vu, while the writing for the fic itself is phenomenal, does contain the occasional video post, or artwork post, which does bump down the legibility. "

Legibility (Audio): 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

"Legibility (Audio) is zero out of five! Due to the formatting, Deja Vu really can't be listened to. At the end of each chapter is a poll, and each chapter has music to listen to while reading. While this is all amazing and so wonderfully immersive, it does make it hard to listen to. This fic is more hands on when it comes to participation."

Length: 💛💛🖤🖤🖤

"Length is two out of five!! Currently Deja Vu looks like its going to have 10+ chapters, though that will change as the story progresses."

Deja Vu: Chapter List

(Chapters will be added as I rate and appraise them ^^)

(Yet to be added)

[sketchiefoxie]

Aaaah!! Thank you very much!! Seriously, thank you for listening!!

Hello, its me again!! I recommended Deja Vu a while back (which is a fic I've been working on) and I realized, I have a request of sorts.

I realized, that though I sent you the A03 link, not all the chapters are super compatible with A03 (Meaning, they have polls in them, and occasional videos and such. Easier to access on tumblr, as the fic is meant to be read on tumblr) While its not a super big problem, as I figured my A03 readers would be able to click the links provided in each chapter, to see any story important videos, I don't really want the A03 version to be known as my main version.

Would you be willing to add rate Deja Vu as a tumblr fic? I know in one of your previous posts, you stated that you'd be accepting fics from various sites, and color coding them different to indicate the sites used (Rather than green or blue, different colors I'm assuming).

In case you do add tumblr fics, here's the masterpost for it.

https://www.tumblr.com/sketchiefoxie/760873390144995328/deja-vu-masterpost?source=share

One more request, (I feel bad asking, because I don't want to come off as demanding, but you seem to enjoy it when folks are frank and whatnot with their questions and requests). If you do end up rating the tumblr chapters, rather than the A03 chapters, would you please mention my masterpost, and/or the A03 version in the disclaimer? Or, wherever you see fit to put it!!

Now that I've said my whole spiel, I've really got to thank you!! All your hard work in insanely incredible!! The time spent, the kind words, it seriously blows me away!! I love the whole system you got going on here!!

I love checking out the various fics you've been adding to the list (I've even found a few new favorites!!) and I have a lot of fun showing them to my sister!!

Alright, now that I've finished writing this incredibly long ask, I shall bid you adieu!! Have a wonderful day!!

Of course I can do that!! I used the Deja Vu Masterpost as the main link on the post!

On the Fanfic List Masterpost, I added it, using a different color set rather than green and blue. Tumblr fic’s are now red and orange! Red for unfinished, and orange for finished.

Deja Vu by @sketchiefoxie has been added to the Fanfic List Masterpost!!

If you check the Deja Vu post I made, I added all the changes you requested!! Thank you for being straightforwards, I do indeed appreciate that!!

I’m very glad that you’ve found other wonderful fics you’ve enjoyed reading!! Thank you for investing time in the work I do!!

[sketchiefoxie]

Hello!! I was wondering if you'd rate my new fanfic, Deja Vu!! ^^

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58395970/chapters/148736443

Its a Rottmnt Horror Au, and a "choose the outcome" story, where at the end of each chapter, the readers vote on what's going to happen next!! I'd like to get this story off the ground early on to make it fun and interesting!!

Ok, have a nice day!! ^^

Ooh I quite like this one!! Very fun idea!! I’ll make sure to vote on each chapter as they come out!! ^^

Absolutely I can rate it!!

Deja Vu by @sketchiefoxie has been added to the Fanfic List Masterpost!!

Congrats on being the first tumblr fanfic to be added!

In a Jam

Had a surprisingly traumatic dream where Jam (Purple Leo) from @intotheelliwoods 2AL Au died, and I cried about it. Now I'm feeling inspired, so buckle up!!

Story based off of this post by @intotheelliwoods

Also, song I listened to while writing this :)

(Here's the Ao3 version)

TW: Blood, some slight gore, Character Death

Jam's shoulder slammed up against the wall, breath catching in his throat, body wracked with painful shivers. He needed to keep going. He needed to find Mikey. He couldn't stop now!!

Despite all of Eon's efforts to keep this timeline safe, they just didn't have enough time. Everything was falling apart, and Eon...

Jam choked on a sob, feeling as it tore at his throat. Eon... His older self, was gone. He was gone now, he was gone! He could still hear his desperate scream.

"JAM!!! Jam, whatever you do, don't let them take you!! Don't let them get you!! Jam, go find Mikey!!" There had been a pause, and Eon had attempted to call out, voice wavering "Jam, I lo--" Then a sickening crunch.

Jam kept running, feet sliding this way and that on the ground, slick from the blood of all the bodies. "M-Mi-Mikeyyyyy!!" He choked out, practically wailing his name. He had no clue if he was even alive anymore.

Jam whined as his knees suddenly decided they had enough, and he collapsed, body crumpling to the hard floor of the base, prosthetic arm clattering beside him, broken into pieces hanging only together by the many wires within. He coughed weakly, feeling when a clot of something dislodged itself from the back of his throat. Without a doubt, he knew it was blood.

His whole body ached. He knew he was hurt, but it was starting to sink in how badly he was hurt. He felt so hot that his body told him it was cold. Like having chills during the flu.

"L...Lee...."

Jam's eyes snapped open, and he gasped, immediately regretting it as his lungs reminded him that technically, one of them was punctured.

Jam coughed, loud and painful, hacking as blood attempted to choke him, his body turning against him traitorously.

He felt a gentle touch upon his face, and he jerked, eyes flying open again, blurry from the tears streaming down his face, accumulated through the act of violently coughing and the grief breaking his heart.

"M-Mike..." He choked out, a small whine escaping his throat. "M-Mikey, th-they got him."

Mikey was on the ground just like him, having dragged himself closer by the chain of his nunchaku wrapped around a pile of rubble. "I-I know..." He whispered; voice broken by pain. "I know..."

Jam looked his brother up and down, taking in his matted grey hair, sticky from sweat and blood. The way he lay painfully upon the ground, lower half contorted. It looked like both his legs had been broken.

Anything Jam were to say, got stuck in his throat, clogged up tightly.  Mikey was dying, wasn't he? The golden cracks illuminating his body said as much. In fact, most likely the only reason for Mikey still being alive, was his nimpo. It was keeping him alive, while slowly killing him.

A blessing and a curse.

"D-Don't worry." Mikey hummed, voice crackling, and Jam recognized that tone. "N-No..." He whispered, eyes welling with tears as Mikey confessed. "It doesn't even hurt that much. I-I think I'm in shock though..."

Jam choked out, blood accidentally splattering against Mikey's cheek and shoulder. "W-We lost. We lost, Mikey!! W-we lost... We lost... E-Eon's gone... He's gone... We didn't have enough time, he's gone..."

They sat in almost silence, the sounds of the outside battle raging loudly. Violent sounds of death, and fear. They knew how to kill the entity; they just didn't have enough time to do it.

Mikey breathed out, slow and labored as he began. "W-We're closer in this timeline th-than during E-Eon's right? He never got th-this far, before h-he came here."

Jam paused and nodded slowly before Eon's final words clicked in his head. "Send me back." he demanded, a sudden surge of hope coursing through his chest. "I-I might still have a chance to fix this."

Mikey stared at him, with what should have been an expression of shock, but was mostly just blank sadness and pain, and he nodded slowly. He pushed himself up onto his forearms, whimpering as pain evidently wracked through his form. "E-Eon said I might have to--"

Mikey wasn't even able to finish his sentence before a rumbling began. With a sharp inhale, Jam glanced up. That was all the warning they got before the building began to collapse.

Mikey's entire body blazed brightly like a fire, and he screamed, mystic energy flaring to life as the building came down upon them.

The last things Jam could remember happening was immeasurable pain as something huge fell upon his shell, cracking it open, and a brilliant golden light.

Then he was falling, falling, falling down.

The gold surrounding him began to flicker, and its energy waned. Mikey... Jam reached out with his own nimpo, desperate to help in any sort of way, support Mikey the best he could. His nimpo connected briefly, grazing against the beautiful, brilliant energy of his baby brother... Then it fizzled out.

Jam almost lost control of the portal at that, heart breaking as blue overcame gold. The end of the portal was near, giving Jam virtually no time to process this new feeling of grief.

He was dumped out of his portal, most ungraciously, his body hitting the floor with a almost wet thump. That didn't sound good.

Jam moaned, pained by both his physical wounds and the emotional wounds on his heart. Everything was blurry, so he wasn't really sure where he was at.

With a hiss, he rolled onto his side to check the damage to his body. He hadn't really gotten a good look at what had happened, but he had a feeling that he had multiple broken ribs, which might be stabbing into one of his lungs. He knew that his shell was cracked open just from how when he moved, he felt the horrible sensation of his shell grating upon itself. Like two stones rubbing together.

He felt hands upon his good arm, and a voice filled with extreme worry. He knew that voice, didn't he? Jam groaned as he was carefully rolled onto the ground, and his eyes began to focus.

In front of him was a young turtle. Himself. He looked to be either in his late teens, or early twenties. His skin was a slightly lighter shade of green than Jam's own, and instead of purple face crescents, his were a deep maroon red. A very rich color.

Jam paused, eyes flickering back and forth as he took in the features of his younger self. He was so young, and precious... He looked about old enough to be in the Krang apocalypse.

The younger Leo was stammering, and frantically trying to staunch the bleeding all while grabbing at his communicator to presumably call for help.

"H-Hey..." Jam croaked out, wincing in pain, but managing a crooked smile.

The Leo shushed him, quivering with adrenaline and fear. "Shhh-shh. D-Don't speak, we'll get you all fixed up, ok?"

Jam smiled up at him, fondness for the young Leo drowning out the pain. Or maybe that was his body beginning to lose feeling. "Aw, d-don't worry about me." He managed to say without choking on his own words. "Seriously, it's gonna be fine."

With a short burst of adrenaline, Jam remembered what he was supposed to be doing, and he struggled to sit up, if not slightly to speak easier. The younger Leo quickly scooted forwards, helping Jam lay upon his lap. "Wait, wait, what's going on, why are you here, how--" The young Leo began, and Jam cut him off. "No time for th-that. I-I need to warn you about something, I-I-- O-oh gosh, I-I'm sorry-- Its a-amazing that I-I made it here at all--It really looks like I-I showed up t-to late, and..."

Tears welled in his eyes, and he found it impossible to continue. He had failed, hadn't he. He didn't know how to beat the entity; he hadn't made it here in time. He didn't have anything to say, he didn't--

Jam glanced back up at the fearful, tearful expression of the younger Leo. He was just so small. Jam remembered being that small... This little Leo reminded him of the story of the little teacup whale.

So small, so precious that it lived in a teacup, till one day, it grew out of it and became a grand beauty that the people all adored.

This little teacup whale of a Leo.

Before he could stop himself, he let out a small smile, and a little chuckle. "Hey..." he began, voice slurring in an effort to be heard. "Teacup... its... it’s good to see you..."

'Wh-What?" The younger Leo, Teacup choked out, voice high-pitched with emotion. "Wait, no no no no no, wait, you can't do this to me, WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!"

Jam felt as he was pulled into a tight embrace, and he felt the full body rocking sobs of the younger Leo, as he cried into his shoulder.

Jam closed his eyes, and softly hummed 'You are my sunshine' to Teacup, hoping to ease his pain. He couldn't help him anymore; he had screwed up. But at least he got to see a Leo, one last time...

***

Raph came out of a meeting room, mood soured by the fact that Leo hadn't come when he said he would. Sure, Leo had been frustrated earlier and stormed off to 'think' but he wasn't really one to skip the war meetings.

Especially as he was the leader.

With Donnie and Mikey behind him, Raph paused and asked. "Any of you seen Leo?"

Raph watched as his brothers halted, and their expressions went blank. That was a no then. Mikey piped up, chirping. "He said he needed time to think." and Donnie cut in. "Yes, Angelo, but that was an hour ago, before the meeting."

Raph sighed, almost a little disappointed in his younger brother. He really thought he was past this whole 'immature' thing. "Donnie?" he asked, not even needing to voice his question.

"Already on it." Donnie replied, tapping the screen upon the cuff on his arm. A hologram of Leo's contact picture popped up, as a little loading circle formed beneath it. After a few moments of silence, the purple hologram changed, displaying voicemail, insinuating that Leo did not pick up his phone.

Donnie scoffed and tried again. The same result. The brothers paused, a sudden silence thickening up the air in the hall. It felt as if the people walking around them suddenly didn't exist, making the brothers feel as if they were alone right in the middle.

Donnie immediately pulled up his tracker screen, and the moment Leo's location was online, they took off, racing through the halls, and around the folks who were there for the cause.

Raph immediately slammed open the door the moment they made it to the somewhat unused room and was shocked by what he saw.

Leo was by the wall, hugging someone, covered in blood, rocking back and forth as weak sobs wracked his body. He was murmuring something, begging quietly, soft enough that none of them understood what he was saying.

"Sweet Galileo!" Donnie exclaimed, and Mikey cried out, rushing forwards. "Leo!! Leo what happened?"

Leo only cried harder; voice wrecked from the sheer amount of crying he was doing.

Raph followed behind Mikey, taking in the scene, completely stunned. Behind him, Donnie was paging the med bay team and giving them their coordinates.

"Leo, what's going on, who's this?" Mikey tried again, but Leo only shook his head, unable to get anything out from around his sobs.

Raph reached out to try and pry Leo away from the body that bore an uncanny resemblance to his younger brother, but Leo only screamed an uncoherent "NO!!!" and clung tighter to the broken body.

Mikey had started crying, and Raph could feel his own emotions choking him up. "Leo... What happened?"

***

The rest of the day was long and torturous.

They were able to take the body to the med bay to see if anything could be done. But whoever it was, was gone.

Leo refused to leave their side, choking and crying silently the entire time, eyes never leaving the face of the turtle.

This persisted on even late into the night, when they found a place to bury the stranger.

Leo refused to leave the grave, kneeling upon the soft dirt and hugging himself tightly, humming 'you are my sunshine'.
