Oh god another marathon
Tumblr media
Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014)
First time playing, my only previous experience with the series was the original Wolfenstein 3D, I've always been more of a Doom fan. I didn't fully know what to expect, I have enjoyed the recent Doom games a lot, so I was thinking maybe it would be a somewhat similar deal, just by a different studio, made a couple years earlier.
The New Order has a bit of a gritty PS3 shooter vibe. It is very much over the top, as Wolfenstein should be, but it's less extreme and more grounded than Doom (not trying to come off like that's a negative whatsoever). The story feels a bit by the numbers, but it is serviceable, satisfying enough, it has some standout moments. Everything else is really fun, Machine Games have earned their reputation making FPS games with great gunplay. The bosses can be gimmicky, but I don't hate that as an alternative to a straight bullet sponge. The addition of a branching storyline is also neat for a second playthrough, even if the changes aren't huge.
Great game, tons of fun, it's decently long for what it is. No notes.
Tumblr media
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (2015)
An expansion to the previous game that was released individually, it acts as a prequel to the events of the first game. As should be expected from an "expansion", it is notably shorter than the other games, and the story is much simpler. A bit forgettable if you're coming for the plot.
As for the gameplay, it's a good change of pace from the first game, I appreciate the approach. It puts a lot more emphasis on the stealth sections of gameplay, so if you don't hate those, you get a few hours to bite into. They can get though too, I definitely had to give a number of attempts to several scenarios.
Skippable to a degree but not bad by any means, as an add-on to the first game it's what it needed to be. More content to enjoy, but different enough to not be just more of the same.
Tumblr media
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (2017)
Boy, I sure remember when this one came out and I was way more susceptible to gamer outrage bait. Wolf2 is so much more into "modern politics" than the previous entries. It comments on America's fall into fascism, racial and revolutionary politics, there's "strong black/female characters" that will lecture white guy meathead BJ on stuff he doesn't understand... some of that stuff can come off a bit annoying depending on your mentality at the time. It's absolutely more nuanced than it might sound, particularly the way they depict the way americans react to nazis ruling their country, I did like a lot of what's here. However, some aspects of the story do come off very much as something an american liberal (pejorative) would write.
The gameplay itself however is nothing but an upgrade from the previous game. They figured out a very simple way to have the split timeline from the first game carry over to here, and they added tons more things to do aside from playing through the main story. Gunplay is top-notch, as it should be. The biggest oddity is the lack of traditional boss fights, opting instead for harder-than-usual combat scenarios at key times in the story, which was a bit of a bummer.
Banger of a game, probably the best so far, but I still had my gripes. It's very close to being perfect, which is why the things I don't fully like hit harder.
Tumblr media
Wolfenstein: Youngblood (2019)
Honorable mention since I already talked about everything else, but full disclosure, I did not finish this one.
I could see Youngblood working well as a co-op shooter spin-off for the series, since co-op shooters have proven to be popular and really fun with friends. My biggest issue with it is that it also acts as a direct sequel, but the story/writing is absolutely not on par with the rest of the series. It's simply nowhere near interesting enough to push me to play more and more like the other games did. Combine that with the slower, RPG-ish gameplay, and the game feels like a bit of a drag. It's not a bad shooter, and I'm sure it's entertaining with a friend, but it gets old too fast, and it's massively underwhelming that this is what we got after the ending of Wolfenstein II.

Sup Everyone! And I'm here once again for more OC Dumping! Today we have an OC that I've had for a VERY long time!
Meet Sasha The Cheetah!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, to answer the obvious!
Yes, all of these are the same OC!
However, all these versions of Sasha have differences between them, despite having similarities! Each one has her own Backstories, Personalities, Age in some cases are very different (depending on the version), and powers.
The baseline thing they all have in common is that they're all Female, are Cheetahs, and that I ship her with Donatello. (But you'll see that each has their own twist on the relationship as well. But we'll get to that soon!)
But without further delay! I'd like to introduce you all to each version of my special little Cheetah Lady! (Starting in chronological order from OG TMNT to Current TMNT versions!)
Also, here's a link to the ToyHouse folder I have for all of them if you wanna read more info on all of them, since I'm not sure if I'm gunna get to cover everything in this one post!
And I feel the need to go ahead and warn you, Not all versions of the TMNT are very PG! I know right, shocker! So keep in mind that not all of these Sasha's are gunna have stories that are cute and happy! So a Trigger Warning is in place for Mirage Comic Sasha, IDW Sasha, 2014-2016/Bayverse Sasha, and Batman VS TMNT Sasha! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
First cat we have is Mirage Comic Sasha (A.K.A The OG Black & White Comics!)
Tumblr media
Like the OG Mirage TMNT, This Sasha is by far one of the more darker and more serious versions of herself! She was part of a failed Mutation that was ran by a bunch of Foot Clan Loyalists who's main goal was to get back at the Turtles for killing The Shredder! This mutation was supposed to make her Bipedal, make her even faster, and the most important feature, give her a jaw strength so intense that she could crack a Turtle shell in one bite! But, they also tortured her during the experiment. Causing her to have some pretty crazy anger issues.
And the only reason the plan failed was because The Turtle's found out about it all, and put a stop to it! And while trying to free Sasha, Leonardo accidently injured her back left foot! This only made Sasha fly off the deep end and kill everyone in sight, as the turtles took off to safety! However, thanks to them, Sasha's mutation wasn't complete! Sure she could Run much faster then before, but with an injured back leg it would only get her so far before becoming too painful. And her Jaw Strength truly was something quite terrifying! But now....she's a monster! To the world and her own kind! And it was those Turtles who where to blame!
Basic Info:
Name: Sasha (Name given to her by Donatello)
Sex: Female
Age: 15 (In cat years)
Personality: Cold, Cruel, Violent, Irritable, and Strong
Species: King Cheetah
Race/Ethnicity: African (Was kidnaped by scientists and brought to a secret Lab/Facility in the wooded areas by NYC)
Relationship Status: Single
Orientation: Acesexual
Relationship W/ The Turtles: Hates all of them, but will only "Hear out" Donnie on any matters that might concern her. But she won't hesitate to threaten or hurt them! Should the need arise.
Powers: Super Speed (Though it's limited because of her injury), Super Roar (Basically a roar that's so loud that it can stun others), Enhanced Strength, Sentience/Speech, Night Vison, Powerful Jaw/Bite, and Enhanced Sense of Smell.
87 Sasha is our next Cat! From the good old 1987 Series by Fred Wolf!
Tumblr media
By far the bubbliest and silliest versions of Sasha! And is also the weakest, her role here is more or less to be a support for The Turtles AFTER fights! (And she's usually another damsel in distress for The Turtles to save) She's also the first out of three of her versions to actually be a human before being a Mutant!
Originally Sasha was a teenage girl volunteering at The Central Park Zoo as part of a School Program, with dreams of becoming a Vet! Well, one day an accident with a strange Oozy substance in the office turned her into a Cheetah Mutant (as she was working with one of their cheetah's at the time). Well, now with her life turned completely upside down, Sasha got into a bit of hot water with the law by shoplifting several stores in NYC under the cover of darkness! With her speed, she was pretty slippery and was able to avoid capture by The Cops. And the News was having a field day with this so called "Cat Burglar Creature", including Channel 6 News! And it wasn't long before April come to The Turtles about this information.
While trying to apprehend her however, Sasha accidently scratched Donnie's cheek up and was able to escape. However, they did finally catch her, and upon taking her back to their lair and questioning her, they realized that she never really wanted to be doing any of those things at all. She just....wanted to survive. she apologized profusely for what she did and even wanted to help treat the wound on Donnie's cheek! After all, she was gunna be a Vet, and hurting animal (Mutant or otherwise) wasn't something she ever wanted to do. And after showing that she was more useful in their hands that behind the bars of some jail or lab, they decided to let her live with them so she could prove herself, and help treat them after fights!
Basic Info:
Name: Sasha
Sex: Female
Age: 14-15
Personality: Happy, Bubbly, Helpful, Kind Hearted, Affectionate, Loyal, Naïve, and Weak (Especially in a fight)
Species: Cheetah (Formally Human)
Race/Ethnicity: White
Relationship Status: Single (But has a very clear and obvious crush on Donatello, that is reciprocated)
Orientation: Straight
Relationship W/ The Turtles: Get's along with all of them pretty well! Raph and Mikey will usually pick on her a little. And Leo respects her for all the help she provides for them. Donnie has a pretty big crush on her, which she returns in full. Basically, He's her Knight in Shining Shell!
Powers: Speed, Charm (She can use her "cat like" charms to soften up a villain), Medical Knowledge, Teeth & Claws (Despite her not being much of a fighter and not wanting to fight, Sasha can use her teeth & claws to cause damage and to escape traps), Stealth (Being a cat, Sasha is capable of being very sneaky), Acting & Disguises (Her knowledge of human life makes it pretty easy for herself to blend in with humans. Provided she has a good disguise!), Enhanced Sense of Smell, and Night Vision
Next is technically the first version of her I ever made! She's been through SEVERAL rewrites, and she holds a special place in my heart, cause she was part of the first version of TMNT I saw! That's right! It's time for 2003 Sasha! Let's fucking go! Her story taking place between "The Ninja Tribunal" Arc and the "Fast Forward" series.
Tumblr media
This Sasha is probably one of the more "Well rounded" versions of herself, as in addition to having her own moments of strength, she story and personality tackles some struggles that bare some similarities to my own struggles with Self acceptance, loneliness and trusting others. Sasha started out her life as a small Cheetah cub left abandoned by her mother. She had fallen into a small watering hole that had a strange glowing ooze floating around inside of it. After she started crying for help, she was rescued by two other cheetahs! An elderly Female Cheetah and a young adult Male cheetah! Neither of them where related by blood, but seemed to behave like family, and it soon became obvious why! They took her back to their master who was a wondering Nomad who seemed to possess strange powers, joined only by a coalition of Cheetahs that fallowed him everywhere. And they adopted Sasha to be one of their own. However the ooze that contaminated Her, the other cheetah (her "Grandmother"), and the young male (her "brother"), started to slowly change their bodies as they began to become more human like. But unfortunately, their master wouldn't live to see them completely changed, as the exposure to the ooze caused the man to get sick. But he left those three with one final wish and a gift for each of them, "Carry on the duties that I haven't been able to complete. This world and those beyond are all counting on you. And so am I. I love you my children." He handed the three of them three Crystals attached to ropes that where tied around their necks.
Now, without their master, the coalition split up with each cheetah going their own way. Except Sasha, Kenai (Her brother), and Imara (Her Grandmother). Their mutation granted them the ability to walk around up right like their master before them, and soon they started speaking to each other in their native tongue. As years went by Sasha slowly learned more and more about what her master's job was from her Grandmother, as she was one of his first Cheetah pets. According to her, he was a great protector of magic who used the powers of the world around him to keep those that would use magic to throw the world into chaos at bay! Kenai later left the two of them to start the final stage of his training and go to the high mountain ranges in isolation to learn the secrets behind his powers! (Something her grandmother did wit their master, and something Sasha would have to do later in life.)
Only one problem, by the time Sasha turned about 5, Sasha's opinion about who and what she and her family were began to skew a bit. They had to kill things to eat like all hunters, but the thought of doing so made Sasha feel sick. She started eating more plants, fruit, and bugs instead of hunting with her Grandmother. And once she got her powers, her opinion of herself got even worse! Sasha was a girl of science and logic, and here she was. A creature that was beyond any science or Logic! They really were freaks. But Sasha wasn't gunna give up her "Quest to be less of a freak", and so at the age of 12 she rejected her Grandmother's teachings about magic and her responsibilities to carry on the duties her master needed them for. She ran off and ended up leaving all by herself closer to the southern areas of Africa!
There, Sasha ran into something even more bizarre. Humans! Aside from her master, she had never been around humans before. But her grandmother warned her many times that humans were dangerous, and for creatures like themselves, they just wouldn't understand them. So, while keeping her distance, Sasha observed any humans that she encountered, learning so many more things then she ever thought possible. Eventually setting up a small camp out in the dessert by a small cave, using a tent and spare cloth she gathered from the humans who left them behind. And probably the most amazing thing she discovered was their technology! She was absolutely amazed by their machines and the sheer amount of them, each for their own purposes! Eventually she was able to get ahold of some of their scraps and start playing with them, and slowly learning how they work and trying to make new things out of them. Two items in particular are her Tech Spear and Gauntlets! Both items used to help her mask and wield her electrical powers more effectively.
And finally, after about two years of living in isolation, Sasha pretty much gained her independence from her Grandmother, though she did remain in contact with her via letters. And for the most part, Sasha almost felt normal, refusing to use her powers much for anything. Until, Sasha started finding Poacher Camps littered around the desert! She had heard stories about these kinds of humans and knew they where extremely dangerous, but.....against her better judgment, she decided to do something about them! After all, being a natural hunter herself and being disgusted by the act of killing for food, the fact they did it for sport and profit just....made her furious. So....she started planning!
Now, going in guns a blazing was a very bad idea, and Sasha really had to plan for all possibilities. First, she would arm herself with her spear as a weapon, and while she had no intention of killing anyone, she would if she needed to. Second, she needed to make sure they couldn't see who or what she was! So, she made herself a Full Desert Cloak and Scarf with a very fine Black Mesh vail covering what little of her face would be exposed, including pants, boots, and gloves. And the final touch she needed was a way to not only cover her tracks and make her harder to identify, she needed something that would made the poachers fear her more! So, despite her distaste for her mystical powers, she used her wind abilities to help make a small sandstorm around herself as she approached and while she attacked. And in addition, after scaring and/or killing them, she would then go to any animals that where held in the camps that where still alive and let them go! And any small and injured animals, she would take back to her home, and try and nurse them back to health before letting them go!
After a while of doing this, word soon spread far and wide across Africa about a mysterious being that roams the desert and protects the lands from those who would take advantage of the creatures that inhabit it! A being of great power, who lives in the sandstorms! Eventually earning a name! The Desert Dragon!
And for many more years, Sasha kept up her crusade, eventually getting a pretty bad scar on her left leg saving a three-legged Tortious, who she named Plato and kept as a pet since he really wouldn't be able to survive on his own ever again. And then one day, after raiding another poacher camp, Sasha noted some of the strange tech they had on hand! Along with their equipment having a very odd symbol on it resembling a Dragon's Claw. Sasha couldn't shake the feeling like these weren't just some average poachers and decided to do a little research into it. And after a little bit of digging on the internet, Sasha found that the symbol belonged to an organized crime group called The Foot Clan. Normally they ran mostly in Japan, but apparently they have operations in The US as well! In New York mostly! And even more curiously, it appeared that New York has been through quite a strange amount of happenings! Both Alien and Magical, with this organization right at the center of all of it!
Call it her teachings about the importance of her job as a Mystical Protector of sorts....but something in Sasha's gut was telling her that she NEEDED to get to the bottom of all these occurrences, and why they where in Africa! But before she could do much more digging, her computer was hacked, and a voice came though the screen that sounded...inhuman. The voice introduced itself as The Fugitoid and asked her what she knew of all these occurrences and if she worked for The Foot or even someone else. Sasha denied it of course, telling him that she truly knew nothing but had seen the symbol on some tech in a camp in Africa, and had a feeling it meant something bad!
There was a moment of silence before he asked a strange question, "Are you by chance not human?"
Sasha was hesitant at first to answer, but she told him that yeah, she wasn't human. At that point the screen flashed to show a.....Robot of some kind. He spoke kind and properly, seeming quite thrilled to see that she was a mutant, and behind him was a very very tall mutant who when he bent down to see the screen too, it was a large Crocodile mutant, calling himself Leatherhead! The three of them talked for hours about science, and about the stuff Sasha had seen in the desert! These talks went on for weeks! This was the first time Sasha had made a real friend, and they both seemed to be into the same things as she was! And after a while, Sasha learned from them that they have more mutant friends too! Four turtle brothers actually. Telling her about all the crazy and strange things that they have seen and been through.
And that's when Leatherhead had a crazy idea! If she could get to New York, he and The Fugitoid would make a place for her to live with them. Her skills would be useful to not just them, but The Turtles too. She'd get to meet them, and maybe, they could find out why The Foot where in Africa.

Mikey is peak little brother to her, and she does enjoy listening to him tell stories about The Silver Sentry and watching movies with him. Him being the first one to introduce her to pizza! Though he does have a habit of poking fun at how close she and Donnie are. She and Raph get along more then one might think. Sure the two argue, but both have issues with inner demons, and Sasha's not afraid to hear him out since she does the same with Leatherhead all the time. Her and Donnie are defiantly much closer then "Just friends", as the two of them understand one another on a whole other level then anyone else. He was the one to teach Sasha how to warm up to Humans, and she idolizes him for his mechanical skills.

But in addition to that, Sasha was a wild animal to begin with rather then a human pet.), and Intellect.
Our next kibby is the 2007 Sasha, her story taking place a year after the TMNT film!
Tumblr media
This Sasha is an interesting one, as unlike some of the others, her story doesn't take place at all in NYC, but rather has The Turtles traveling to Africa.
A pandemic hits NYC that starts spreading super fast, proving to be extremely fatal. And April gets sick with it. Splinter shares the story of an ancient Artifact in Africa, said to be item of great healing. and under his directions, The Turtles go there and find themselves landing in thick Jungle. While wandering around lost for a while Donnie falls off a steep drop and hits a bush covered in thorns. But these thorns are unlike any normal plant they've seen, and Donnie starts to feel dizzy and on the verge of passing out. His brothers get him out of the thorns, but by the time they do, Donnie is already tripping pretty hard and can't see for shit. When they are ambushed by what seem to be natives of the Jungle, surrounding them with spears. But it seems like these guys aren't humans.....they mutants like them.
A tall native, a very large male cheetah approaches them, and he asks why they are here. Leo pleads for them to help them as they're lost and their brother is hurt. The cheetah looked at all of them, then the injured brother. And he agreed, saying that his sister would tend to him while he talked to the other three.
Hours later, Donnie wakes up, noticing that his brothers are nowhere around and more importantly, he's in a hut somewhere. When we turns his head around he sees a mutant cheetah staring at him in awe, a female from what he can tell with his blurry vision. "Are you an Angel...." he slurred. She laughs and tells him that she's afraid not, and he's definitely not dead. They introduce themselves a little, finding out her name is Sasha, and that her Big Brother, Kenai, was the one who brought him to her along with his brothers.
After a bit of talking with both the cheetahs, The Turtles find out that this tiny tribe of mutants are all protectors of the artifact they're looking for! The Turtles plead with them to help them find it since they know where it is, and that it will help save their friend, and by extension, the world. The two agree, but warn the four of them that if they're laying, or doing this for selfish reasons, the artifact will take their life forces in retaliation. Sasha came along to 1. Help them appeal to The Artifact. 2. She's the chosen vesicle for some of the Artifacts healing powers, so it will most likely need her to carry out their needs if it agrees to help. 3. Donnie maybe able to walk now, but he got a nasty dose of that plant's poison. And as a highly skilled and devoted healer, she wasn't just gunna leave a patient without proper care.
During the journey, Sasha got rather close with The Turtles. As a devoted healer and Protector of The Artifact, Sasha hasn't had much of an opportunity to make or keep friends. And the most of the folks she meets are ones that need her healing, but are beyond her powers ability to help too much. However, Donnie is the one she got the closest too. He was super knowledgeable about "The World Beyond The Trees" and loved asking questions about it. She had seen humans before, and had seen the strange equipment they used, and she wanted to know more. Know more about New York! The world! And....him too.
Eventually Sasha and Donnie separated by a group of strange men who came to try and take The Artifact, and Sasha used her healing powers on herself to save Donnie's life. This caused her to loose her powers, as the powers gifted to her by The Artifact forbid her to use her healing magic on herself. In addition, it left her feeling very weak, as the downside to using her powers at all was that it would take power from her own lifeforce. Meaning that she would keep getting weaker and weaker by the second. Meaning.....The Turtles would have to make a choice. Save April and The World....or save Sasha....
As much as it pained Her Brother and The Turtles....they had to choose The World. So, carrying Sasha to The Hidden Temple, they finally found The Artifact. The Turtles pleading for it to help save The World from the pandemic! A very deep and booming voice from The Artifact that is neither male or female spoke. Noticing that Sasha was in the temple, and that she went against her duties to save Donnie, it asked if they where sure with their choice. They all agreed, and suddenly a flash of light engulfed the temple.
They all received a vision of a beautiful wave of golden light engulfing the world. And then....they awoke outside The Temple. Confused they all looked around only to see Sasha standing beside them, smiling at them. She explained that thanks to their sacrifice, The Artifact decided to have mercy on her. That said....The Artifact had to occupy a living host in order to do what was asked. And it chose Sasha.
Basic Info:
Name: Sasha
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Personality: Curious, Intelligent, Cautious, Caring, Serious, Graceful, and Motherly
Species: Cheetah
Race/Ethnicity: African
Relationship Status: Single (Has feelings for Donnie that are reciprocated, but two are unable to have a normal relationship due to distance.)
Orientation: Straight
Relationship W/ The Turtles: She's absolutely fascinated by them, as they are the first real friends she's ever had! And feels like she can learn a lot from all of them! She finds Leo so be a very kind and noble leader, much like her Brother. Raph is a little rough around the edges, but means well and cares so much about his family. And Mikey is so lively and adores his spirit, even if he is a bit silly. As for Donnie, she adores him. The knowledge he has of the outside world is so fascinating, and his ability to just....make things is just incredible! she also finds his obvious nervousness around her endearing and kinda cute!
Powers: Healing (Sasha has the ability to heal, however it comes with quite a few set backs and limitations! She can't cure terminal illnesses like Cancer. She can't help someone regrow a limb, she can close a wound, but that's it. She can help speed up a healing, but she can't bring anyone back from death or keep them from dying. The most she can do is help ease their pain. And even then, using any of these powers drain her lifeforce, making her more likely to die sooner then she would naturally.) Plant Knowledge (With her Healing being so limited, it is important that she knows how to use traditional medicines and medical practices in order to serve her patients! One of these is gathering the correct herbs to make remedies for them!), Speed (Sasha's speed, while impressive for a cheetah, she still can only sprint before she needs to stop. However, living in the jungle instead of the Desert like most of her kind, she has learned to have killer reflexes when it comes to dodging obstacles even at top speed.) Vine/Branch Surfing & Vine Swigging (Sasha, having lived in the Jungle her whole life, learned from a very young age how to tread the terrain quickly over long distances. Usually using Branches and thick vines as slides or swinging from vine to vine like Tarzan.)
Our next Cheetah is probably the most complicated to explain, but i will try! Let me introduce IDW Comics Sasha!
Tumblr media
This Sasha's story actually begins with the story of a Goddess! She was the Goddess of the earth and life itself, and like most other gods, it was part of her job to keep the powers and magic of the world in line, and to make sure it never came into the wrong hands! But like all things, this plan went sideways and rouge magic user was hungry for power, and unfortunately, The Goddess of Earth was a target. And the easiest way to get these powers, was to kill the host of said powers. And unfortunately....they succeeded! The Goddess of The Earth was killed, and her powers were up for grabs! But....The Goddess wasn't gunna go down so easily without a fight!
Being a god with a very important job to do, did her best to keep doing her work! However, without a living host to house her soul and power, she couldn't exactly do so safely. And it's not like finding a host was very easy, as only those with pure hearts and bodies would be viable candidates. So for many years, The goddess was left to roam the world in search of a host to carry on her tasks, eventually having to split her soul and power into three pieces to make herself harder to track.
And one day....she found the perfect host! Or rather Hosts! They were three Cheetahs! An elder female, A young adult male, and a small female cub! But unlike most animals, something strange had happen to these three! Due to some human pollution in the African Jungles, these three had been exposed to some strange chemicals, causing their bodies to become more humanoid, and their brains beginning to function more like that of a human. True, they where primitive, but they where pure of heart, and now had the bodies to wield her powers! So she possessed all three, but something....strange and unforeseen happened. Apparently during the time that her soul had separated, parts of her personality became weakened, and due to this it allowed for her hosts to have parts of their personalities shine through! This didn't hinder too much however, as this Allowed the goddess to choose which of her powers would go to which cheetah, and who would wield what better!
Kenai, the young male Cheetah, showed himself to be a devoted protector of his family. And while mostly calm and collected, he also had a switch that would make him incredibly angry and fierce when needed! For this reason, Fire and Water where the perfect elements for him!
The oldest Female, Imara ,having more life experience then the other two, made her a lot more cold are hardened to the unfairness of the world! But this also made her quite resourceful and willing to change her circumstances to fit her needs! After all, she and her two younger cheetah's all started living in the jungle instead of the desert like the kind because it was easier to find food here! And it was cooler during the day! For this, Earth and Ice where good matches for her!
Leaving the youngest....Sasha left! Unfortunately due to her age, she didn't have much of a personality outside of a child's general curiosity and carefree nature! Which was refreshing for the Goddess, as for as long as she could remember, she was made for the soul purpose of serving the world as one of it's protectors! And she never had a choice to be anything else. And this was like a breath of fresh air! Getting to experience so much more from a perspective that was so different! This made Sasha's powers of Electricity and Wind and easy match for her!
But these elemental abilities where not their only gifts however! They where being controlled and possessed by a god after all, and thus gained plenty other powers as well! Seeing things normal beings can't, knowledge of other universes realms of reality, Teleportation via portals, and even immortality to some degree. See...after having her previous body destroyed in such a harsh manner, the goddess decided that these new vesicles would not be allowed to die unless it was by natural causes. In other words....old age!
So for many years, Sasha, her brother, and grandmother spent their days honing their god-like powers, traveling to far lands to rid the world of those who would disturb the balance of magic, and learn how to deal with the changes of the world as time went on. Sasha had started growing fond and was fascinated with the modern world! All the technology, culture, and beauty it had to offer was just so....tempting. But....alas....she couldn't really be a part of it. Being a mutant already put a bit of a damper on that, but having to perform her duties as a meat puppet for a god made getting time to herself to spend on hobbies almost impossible. and she was starting to dislike this quite a bit. The Goddess could tell this too, and while she'd love nothing more then be able to let these three be their own people, she couldn't just....let them go. They were now bonded till their inevitable expiration dates, an nothing could change that.
Well as time went on, Imara, The Grandmother, fell very ill. She soon wouldn't be long for this world, and The Goddess would have to be one body short and have further possess the remaining two. Allowing them to gain her other powers. But before passing on, The Grandmother asked the two of them to complete on last task for her, as her final wish. The two agreed, and then the Grandmother presented the two of them with an empty glass canister that had been smashed open, with the letters TCRI printed on the side.
"Find this place, learn all you can about our rebirth. And please, support each other, fallow your hearts, and when all seems lost remember that I will be with both of you, and i will help you find your way. I love both of you my cubs...."
And with that, she passed on, her body dissolving into golden dust and slowly absorbed into Sasha and Kenai.
With her last words in mind, the two of them quickly started trying to figure out more about that TCRI canister. And while meditating on it, the two of them received a vison of a tall building above a sea of more tall buildings, with the letters TCRI on the top. As a flash of Sasha's lighting is seen shooting up from the top of the building, and the vison then fades away. Trying to find out more info, Sasha and her brother started spying on some of the local cities to see if they could get anymore information on the location of this building. And they where eventually lucky enough to over hear a conversation from a traveling business man saying something about TCRI.....in a place called New York City....
Deciding it would be better to save their energy and cause less of a scare if they just....showed up in New York with a portal, they snuck onto a cargo plane and started heading to their next stop!
But the ride didn't go so smoothly however! As while just before reaching the mainland, their plane started to become unstable and they ended up having to jump from the air craft, but while Kenai was able to portal himself safely onto the dock, Sasha was far less quick to react and ended up hitting the water hard, and blacking out.
Sasha later awoke with a jolt, spitting up water and coughing. And after bit, realized that she was on....well not dry land, but was no longer in the water. From what she could tell, she wasn't on the docks, but rather underground and in what looked to be big man made caves with water flowing through them. The walls being made of metal and stone, along with the overwhelming stink of humans, gave Sasha the impression that she defiantly wasn't where she needed to be. So, she started wondering the dark tunnels looking for any sign of her brother....or the TCRI building.
And after a long time of wandering around, Sasha came into a large chamber, with huge pipes high on the walls slowly having water run out of them into a large pool of swirling water blow the center of the room. Suddenly, bubbles came up from the water as a large spikey turtle like creature emerged and crawled it's way over to her, before standing on it's hindlegs, and charging at her, large sharp claws and fangs ready to tear her to bits! Using was godly awareness she had, Sasha could tell this creature was a mutant like herself, but for more primitive! And Clearly more violent, and while she had no want or need to kill this creature, she wasn't exactly gunna just let it hurt her either. The fight didn't last too long, and eventually, Sasha was able to land a good solid punch to the middle of the creature's beak, knocking the beast out cold, but a sudden voice from behind her made her jump, as it was English being spoken, and she had thought she had been seen by humans. But....she was mistaken! It was actually....more mutant turtles. But unlike the other one she just fought with, these four were much smaller and wore strange combat gear, and small colored masks over their eyes. Each on holding a different weapon. She didn't know if these ones where related at all to the previous one, but she wasn't gunna stick around to find out, and she angrily hissed at them as she quickly jumped and insanely high jump and escaped threw one of the pipes above them.
And after wards, eventually found her way to the surface! Poking her head out of a grate, she quickly took cover in an ally way and started trying to get a better view of the city, and hopefully find her brother. After climbing the side of the building quickly, she made it to the roof and was immediately floored with how beautiful it was! The moon shone brightly over the city while the stars in the sky mimicked the way the lights in the streets danced about! She had never seen anything like this in the many years she had been around! And that's when she spotted it! The TCRI building, standing tall and proud against the light of the moon!
Making her way from roof to roof, eventually, Sasha made her way to the top of the TCRI building. And after realizing that it had been several hours since she and her brother had been separated, and she was starting to get worried. Especially after that mess with those turtle things underground. She had to come up with a plan to find him, and then she remembered her vision, and that beam of her lightning coming out of the top of the building.
It was a risky thing to do, knowing that this would pretty much draw WAY more attention then what she really wanted, but.....she had to find her brother!
So she gathered what energy she could and began to shoot a consistent beam of lightning straight into the sky! And now, all she had to do what hold it, and hope that it would be enough to catch her brother's attention.
Needless to say it worked, Kenai eventually saw this beam of lightning and rushed to the TCRI building. Sasha heard her brothers voice behind her and she stopped shooting off her bean and ran over to him relieved, giving him a hug. But then, she saw those same four turtle things standing behind him. Immediately hissed, letting go of her brother and backing away, her teeth bared and fur standing on end. She shouted at them in her native language (Swahili) and Kenai tried to calm her. Claiming that they found him and where trying to help him find her.
But before they could really start to talk everything out, an arrow shot out from the shadows and hit Sasha in the leg. The six of them turned to see Karai and other foot ninjas surrounding them on the roof. Karai briefly mentions that she knew she sensed some powerful energy in the city, sarcastically thanking The Turtles for helping to find the cause, and now they'll be killed too. Two birds with one stone. A fight soon ensued, and The Turtles along with Kenai started fighting off The Foot Ninjas, keeping Sasha from being attacked while her leg was injured. During the fight, Sasha kept an eye on each of The Turtles. Sure, it was fair to assume that they didn't like these other Ninjas, but....after the fight, then what? Could they be trusted.
At some point in the fight, Sasha saw as one of the Turtles was being knocked down, noticed an aura around him. Something familiar. Before more ninjas had the chance to swarm him, Sasha used what strength she had left to defend him. Swiping away the attackers with her claws. But despite this, Sasha's leg had begun bleeding so much, that she started to pass out, and soon blacked out, the last thing she was her brother starting to create a wall of fire around all of them.
When Sasha finally awoke again, she could definitely tell she was no longer on the roof of the TCRI building, but rather in some...makeshift medical room inside of...what looked like another underground chamber. Her leg was wrapped up and she noticed some strange electronics attached to parts of her body, along with some tubes with needles strapped to her wrists!
Needless to say, Sasha was more then a bit panicked, not seeing her brother anywhere around. Believing that she had been captured by those Ninjas.
And so, she started trying to move and get out of the bed she was in, but thanks to the injuries on her leg and the amount of blood she had lost, she lost her balance while trying to get up and feel to the ground causing a lot of the machines she had attached to herself hurt her and start going off. Suddenly she heard someone enter the room and it was one of The Turtles, the same one she had saved during the fight. He looked worried and was trying to approach her but Sasha growled and started using her electrical powers to make her body spark and crackle, making the machines she was attached to start to malfunction. He tried to plead for her to stop and just relax, but soon more people entered the room. The other three Turtles and Kenai entered the room, seeing her brother made Sasha stop sparking but she remained backed up against the wall and obviously feeling threatened.
Her brother gently explained that these four helped him find her, and that they weren't going to be a threat to her. The Turtle that she had saved even added that he was the reason she had been hooked up to those machines, apologizing for scaring her. Sasha reminded silent, but The Turtles gently stepped forward, noting that her leg wound has probably opened up again after her fall, offering to keep helping her. She looked at her brother and the other Turtles, before nodding, giving him permission.
After getting her situated back on the bed and the others leaving the two alone for a while Donatello worked silently on getting her leg back in working order, trying his best to stop the bleeding. All the while feeling extremely awkward. After all, even her bother hadn't told him or his brothers what the two of them where yet, And they just watched as Kenai had shot fire from his paws, Sasha shoot lightning, and she protected him from The Foot without knowing anything about him. And on top of that, it seemed like her eyes where laser focused on him the whole time, and normally he would have chalked this up to her just being cautious of him, but....it almost seemed like she was both deep in thought and studying him at the same time.
Eventually he asked her why she was staring at him, and her answer was a bit....surprising.
"You're a being who has touched death before too. Haven't you?"
Donnie had no clue how she knew this about him at all! The only clue would've been his metal shell. Sasha explained that, with her and her brother having the abilities of a god, they can see things others can not! Sasha had noticed that Donnie had an aura around him, his brothers didn't have such an aura. This aura was a sign that a particular soul had been in Limbo before, which could only happen if the host had died. Something she too had done at some point in her mortal life, just not through natural means, there for the goddess didn't allow her to parish. Being the technical and skeptical turtle he was, he tried his best to rationalize what she was telling him, but Sasha cupped his head with her paw, giving him visons of her and her brother's lives as hosts for the soul of a god. That got him to believe her a bit more, and afterwards, he asked her why she and her brother where in New York to begin with.
Her brother walked in and answered the question, that they where sent by they're late grandma to find out the secret behind the TCRI canister that held the chemicals that made them into mutants. That's when The Turtles filled them in on there own experience with TCRI, and it became pretty clear that these Turtles had been through the same things as them. This cleared up their questions about TCRI, but now they where faced with a new problem. If The Foot now want The Cheetah's dead for their power, then that means it will be even harder for them to get out of New York without being fallowed where ever they went. Their God-like powers being a bit hard to hide, and they couldn't stay cause otherwise they'd fine The Turtles lair! But they wouldn't get too far with Sasha only having one good leg at the moment. Teleportation would be the perfect option, but they needed to do so in a place too far from The Foot that even if they did sense their power and start trying to chase them down, they wouldn't reach them in time.
This lead to Donnie inventing a device for the two of them to wear that would hide their energy, something that greatly intrigued Sasha. Finding it quite amazing that he could create such a thing from almost nothing, kinda like a god in his own little way! (A sentiment that Donnie was a little embarrassed by, but flattered nonetheless.) After that, The Turtle's asked for April to take them to her Family's Old Farm house so that they'd be far from the city while Sasha recovered and so that they could use their powers. Without the Foot tracking them.
Eventually Sasha was able to heal up quite while, given her abilities as a god, her leg healed up with nearly no issues. But....during this healing time, she became more and more close with these Turtles, and their master. And after hearing the story of their past lives from both Splinter and Leo, she gained an even bigger admiration for them! More so for Donnie, as not only did he seem to be intrigued by her knowledge of other worlds outside of this one and her abilities (especially her teleportation and telepathy), buy his love of machines and science was so new to her and he was willing to teach her so much about the modern world. Mikey doing so as well, but more about pop culture and slang, which confused Sasha, but she tried her best to understand it all. (While sounding a bit awkward doing so.)
But all good things must come to an end, as after healing up, Sasha and her Bother really hand to go back home and get back to their God Duties. And while they wouldn't be able to visit too often due to all the work they had to do, Sasha promised them that she and her brother would try to visit when they could and would do their best to stay in touch!

And now onto our next kitten! Unfortunately she is my least favorite to write for as she's for my least favorite version of the Turtles, but I will still show her love, cause she a baby! Welcome 2012 Sasha!
Tumblr media
This is one for the other three versions that was human first before being a mutant! She's also the only version that has no real technical knowledge at all, unless it pertains to her weapon and gauntlets. And unlike a lot of her other versions, she's far more quiet and shy!
Sasha was born in Japan, to mother who was Japanese and a father who was an American. And around the same time, Oroku Saki had just started trying to get his revenge on Hamato Yoshi by taking every thing he loved from him! Sasha's family was caught in the cross fire as her grandmother happened to be a pupil of Yoshi's making her and her loved ones a target as well. Unfortunately for her, her daughter and son-in-law was killed. Leaving behind their small child behind in the process!
The grandmother took Sasha and they fled to America, to try and escape Saki's wrath! And it appeared to have worked!
For several years Sasha and her grandmother lived together peacefully in New York City with no real issues! But, her grandmother still feared that Saki was still out there, and didn't want Sasha to be in any danger. So, from a very young age, Sasha was taught ninjutsu! And using what her grandmother learned from her former master (who she never named), Sasha became quite a skilled fighter. Though, despite these skills, Sasha was a very....shy girl. Having been warned about an enemy of her grandmother's former mater, and that he could still one day come after them, Sasha kept to herself most of the time. As to not draw any unnecessary attention to her or her grandmother.
That said, Sasha's Grandmother had to have some way to pay the bills and decided to open up a small martial arts studio, where Sasha helped tutor some of the younger kids in the class. But this ended up being a huge mistake!
One day some strange men in suites that moved a little too strangely, broke into the dojo while Sasha and Her Grandmother where closing up for the evening! They had weapons that neither of them had seen before, and quickly overpowered both Sasha and her grandmother. And once they where done, they took Sasha and left the Grandmother alone.
These men happened to be robotic bodies for some strange brain-like aliens calling themselves The Kraang, and after taking Sasha away, they started to mutate her slowly into a Humanoid Cheetah. Sasha hated this! All of it! She already felt like a bit of an outcast as a human, but now.....she truly didn't belong anywhere anymore! According to what little info she could get, they had been asked by someone to take her specifically due to her skills as a fighter and her age. They intended to use her as a weapon against....from what she could gleam, other mutants! And The Kraang really had no intention on just letting this other client keep her forever. Since after taking out this mutual mutant problem of theirs, they planned on having Sasha fight on their terms next and help them in getting rid of the client.
Unfortunately for them, the whole brainwashing thing didn't exactly work as intended, and Sasha wanted nothing to do with either of these two sides! So, for now she laid low, and behaved. Until the day finally came when she was to be delivered to the client. They met in a warehouse and when Sasha was let out of her containment chamber, she was surrounded by tons of what looked like Foot Ninjas, something that made her heart drop. These where the same dudes her Grandmother warned her about, and then she saw their boss. A very tall man, wearing a suit of armor that very closely resembled a Samurai. This had to be The Shredder. And next to him where two more mutants like herself! One a giant Fish and the other a Dog.
The shredder ordered her to prove her strength to him and take on his two henchmen. And after the cuffs on her hands and feet where removed, Sasha took her opportunity and began fighting the two while finding a way to escape, and she almost didn't make it. Buy before all seemed lost, a few smoke bombs where dropped in the warehouse allowing for Sasha to escape out of a skylight, having to jump on the head of one of what she thought was one of Shredder's ninja's heads to get the extra boost!
For the next few hours, Sasha did her best to stay hidden in the roof tops from both The Foot and The Kraang! Eventually, she took shelter in a storage closet of sorts, and soon she heard a noise. But....it wasn't the sound of a Foot Ninja or a Kraang bot. She stepped out of closet and fallowed the sound just a few feet away from her hiding spot and noticed what looked like another mutant. This time, he was a giant...turtle. Somewhat taller then her and looking at some strange phone looking thing in his hand. He didn't look to be part of The Foot or The Kraang, but regardless she watched him closely from a distance. But this ended up not working out so well as just a few hundred yards away from him, some Kraang bots started showing up from the horizon and started shooting at him! Causing him to make a break for it....HEADING HER WAY! Sasha quickly ducked back into her storage closet hiding spot, and then figured...if The Kraang where shooting him, then he had to be a good guy! So she waited till she heard his footsteps get closer before quickly grabbing him and dragging him quickly into the closet! Clamping her hand over his mouth to keep him from screaming.
The Turtle struggled for a moment before Sasha quickly shushed him, as the two could hear The Kraang Bots chittering as they walked by. After a bit more waiting in silence, Sasha gently cracked open the closet door to have a peek outside, letting The Turtle in her arms finally get a look at her face. Finally, Sasha let The Turtle go and the two of them came out of the closet, finally taking a breath of fresh air. Sasha was just about to leave The Turtle behind, but before he could stop her, a Throwing star was tossed in-between the two of them!
The Foot had surrounded them both and it didn't seem like they where too interested in talking! So Sasha and her new Turtle "Friend" made quick work of them! Sasha noting that his fighting style seemed pretty similar to her own. After the fight was over, she and The Turtle exchanged a few words of gratitude and The both of them making the safe assumption that neither of them worked for each other's enemies. And Sasha assuring him that she had no intentions on hurting him or his brothers, so long as they don't hurt what she was trying to protect! And before The Turtle could ask what she meant by that, she took off into the night!
And for about a week, Sasha didn't see him again! And she spent those days hanging out on a rooftop, not far from her and her grandmothers apartment. Sasha figured that if those guys when to all that trouble to take her specifically, then it was highly likely that they would now try to target her Grandmother! After all, if they couldn't use her, then they could either use her grandmother as leverage or mutate her too. And there was no way in hell she was gunna let that happen. But....it pained her! To have to watch her Grandmother form a far! After what those freaks did to her....
She was....a monster now! There's no way Sasha could just walk back up to her grandmother all normal like? She couldn't let her grandma see her like this! It was....heartbreaking....and it really made her feel all alone.
But one night, while she was sulking, she started hearing sounds coming in her direction! So, Sasha quickly hid with her Tech Scythe at the ready! Finally she jumped one of the intruders only to see that it looked like the Turtle mutant she met a week ago, only....different. This one being a bit shorter, with a crack in his shell, and wearing a red mask. He screamed, and as he did so, three more turtles showed up! One of them being the one she had already met! The one with the Blue mask, who's name was apparently Leonardo, convinced her not to hurt his brother. Eventually they explained to her that they where the ones that helped her escape the Shedder, by dropping those smoke bombs in the warehouse, Raph getting a bit pissy at her for jumping on his head to get up to the skylight.
After a bit of convincing, Sasha agreed to go to The Turtles lair to meet their master, after seeing who she was trying to protect. They figured that with Splinter having been formally a human too, could talk to Sasha about upping her confidence to go and finally talk to her Grandmother again, despite her new form. During this meeting, Sasha learned rather quickly that Splinter was in fact Hamato Yoshi, her Grandmother's former master. He urged her that despite appearances, she should still go to her Grandmother and let her know that she is alive! That no matter her form, a caregivers love will never waver. After all, he as a rat still took care of The Turtles.
Sasha was then escorted out of the lair, but on their way out, Sasha noticed that the TV on their Living room was showing some news feed. It looked like they where reporting on a fire happening in an apartment building, and soon, Sasha's heart sank when she heard the name of her and her grandmother's building. But by the time The Turtles and Sasha made it back to the building, it was too late! After the firefighters and cops disappeared, The Turtles and Sasha both investigated the remains of the apartment. Hoping to either find out if Sasha's Grandmother was killed in the fire, the cause of the fire, or if she made it out ok.
And to Sasha's horror, she noticed two things! Their former apartment looked like a tornado had ripped right through it. Indicating that a fight had defiantly went down in there! And two, there was absolutely no sign of her grandmother in there! No scent! No body! No ashes! Nothing! And then she found the sheath to her Grandmother's Katana, but no blade in sight. Her worst fears had been realized! The Kraang took her.
With the help of The Turtle's, Sasha was able to break into the Kraang's HQ and rescue her Grandma! Sasha did try to stay behind to hold off The Kraang, and was hoping to sacrifice herself as a form punishment for letting her grandma down and getting her kidnaped. And in her mind, her grandma didn't need to be worrying about how to deal with a Mutant Granddaughter. But Donnie wasn't gunna let her do it, and had her back in the fight, getting her out before it was too late!
And while it did take a bit for her grandma to accept what had happened to Sasha, she still loved her and promised she would do her best to try and keep her as comfortable as possible! That said, Sasha still stayed with The Turtles occasionally, mostly to keep from being a burden on her Grandma. But she also wanted to learn more from Splinter, since she had mastered most of what her Grandmother had taught her for years! (And she'd be lying if she said she didn't like getting to see Donnie more often.)
Basic Info:
Name: Sasha Tachi
Sex: Female
Age: 15
Personality: Quite, Shy, Serious (Mostly When in Combat), Hopeless Romantic, Self Conscious, Caring, Protective, and Dedicated
Species: Cheetah (Formally Human)
Race/Ethnicity: Asian (Raised in America)
Relationship Status: Single (Has a mostly One-Sided crush on Donnie, that eventually becomes mutual)
Orientation: Straight
Relationship W/ The Turtles: Sasha has a great amount of respect for (most of) The Turtles. Her relationship with Leo is a bit complicated as at first, he was a bit jealous of her ability to catch onto Splinter's lessons so quick. But then this turned to respect, as she proved to be very helpful in battle and made a very skilled sparring partner. Then very slowly he gained a small crush on her in a way, but never made any moves as it was pretty clear to anyone with eyes that she was into Donnie, even if he didn't like her back and was too into April. He felt pretty bad for her and just wanted to help her move on, but couldn't bring himself to say anything. This is way when it finally came to light how Sasha felt about Donnie, Leo snapped at Donnie trying to downplay the confession. Her and Raph argue a lot and compete in a LOT of things! Since he's basically besties with Casey (who likes to challenge and make fun of Sasha any chance he gets), the three of them are often facing off in some kind of Sport related activity. She and Mikey get along very well, They both like comics, music, and dancing! The two of them even making up little routines to do when they come back from a successful mission. And even though he might be a blabbermouth, he's the only one who Sasha has directly admitted her crush on Donnie to. A secret he keeps successfully for quite a while, mostly because he knows that Sasha's not the best at hiding how she feels anyway and basically everyone knows already. Everyone except the turtle himself. Donnie is almost painfully oblivious to Sasha's feelings for him, to the point where he will actually confide in her his feelings and frustration about his one sided crush on April. Not realizing the pain he puts her through. He sees her as a fellow "Mutant who wants what they can't have", since she admitted that she had a crush on classmate she had while being human, but never got the guts to say something. and now that she's a mutant, her chances are all but dust now. Despite this however, Sasha still cares deeply for him and will protect him no matter what, cause in the end she just wants him to be happy. Even if it doesn't involve them being an item.
Powers: Speed, Sonic Sprint (Sasha can charge up a very powerful sprint that lets her basically rush through most obstacles, nearly reaching the speed of light! Though this doesn't last very long and usually leaves her very drained after, so it's only for emergencies), Bilingual (Sasha speaks both Japanese and English fluently), Tech Scythe and Gantlets (When she was captured and mutated by The Kraang, they made her a custom weapon to use against The Turtles. This is a retractable Tech Scythe, and the blade can be opened when the gauntlets on her wrists senses an increase in heart rate. The gauntlets also allow her to attract the Scythe back into her hands if she's ever disarmed.), and Enhanced Senses (Sasha's Sight, Hearing, and sense of smell are VERY strong!)
The next kitty is probably one of my favs! Give it up for the one and only Bayverse/2014-2016 Sasha!
Tumblr media
Making this Sasha was probably the most fun I've had in a while! I had to Think like Michael Bay in order to make her LOOK like she belonged in The Bayverse! What what are they most known for besides the uses of Lens Flares, Explosions, Car Chases, and Shitty writing? Overly sexualized ladies! Now I didn't wanna get too overtly sexual with her, as I figured with her being a bit more on the nerdy side, she'd probably be a bit more modest. I also had to go with a more realistic and complex design for her, given what they did with The Turtles designs.
Her story takes place a year after the second movie, and her birth takes place a year before The Turtles creations!
Years ago, when Eric Sacks and The Shredder started work on Project Renaissance, they built many branches off of their work incase they needed a Plan B of sorts. Project F.A.N.G.S (Frontal Assault Non-human Genetic Squad) was a side venture to create potential Mutant Soldiers out of some of the most dangerous animals they could get their hands on! This Branch was kept as a tight secret from the rest of the project and went through some illegal means to obtain these animals! One such method involved bribing the owners of The NY Central Park Zoo to let them take a few of their "problem animals" off their hands! Taking a Male Hyena, a Female Timber Wolf, a Female Fennec Fox, and finally a Male Cheetah and a Female Cheetah Cub.
This Female Cub was an interesting case for a few reasons! In addition to being younger then the others from the zoo, she was also the only one to not show any aggression at all. Which seems odd since they wanted the most viscous animals for the project. However, this was part of another side experiment. Every good squad of soldiers needs a brilliant Technical and Strategic officer, and she was the perfect candidate as they needed someone younger and who could be easily manipulated.
And so the mutation began, and it didn't take very long at all for the little cub to show signs of becoming more intelligent! While, yes, she still couldn't talk, she had learned how to communicate with the doctors using certain sounds, gestures, and even started beginning to understand written words too! She would also sometimes use Morse Code to communicate by tapping on the table or glass of her cage to ask for things! The doctors where amazed by her progress, but became worried when it seemed she was communicating with the other F.A.N.G.S experiments too. And in particular, worried that their violent behaviors would imprint on her too. So, they separated her from the others to continue her learning!
Eventually, Sacks had heard about the progress she had made and had an idea. If the The Turtles from Project Renaissance could be made into weapons like The F.A.N.G.S subjects, they'd have the perfect Squad for The Military! (And a way to make more money.) But first, he needed to see if Sasha and The Turtles could be compatible, after all they'd be taking orders form her and she is carnivorous. They didn't need her trying to eat them.
So, one day Sacks ask Mr. O'Neil and his daughter to meet up with him in a private Testing and Observation room set up to look kinda like a police interrogation room with a One Way Window on one side of the room with door next to it. Sacks had lied to Mr. O'Neil about Sasha's true purpose and had told him that he had wanted another mammal aside from Splinter to be used for Project Renaissance! And he had asked for April to bring him one of her pet Turtles in for the experiment!
"Choose one that will be nice to her! She's lonely and could use a new friend!"
And so, April ran off and grabbed Donatello from his tank and brought him into The Test Room, Where she sat him down on the opposite side of the table from Sasha and then hid in the side room with her Dad and Sacks to watch what happens. And the three of them where stunned when Sasha started approaching Donnie, and getting spooked by him when he poked his head out from his shell. She was so curious about this "New Rock with A Head", gently batting at his shell to watch his head duck back into his shell a bit. Giving him a quick lick, only to notice that he tasted terrible and shake her head in disgust. And accidentally knocking him over onto his shell and rolling him back over.
And he in turn was very interested in her! She was SO much bigger then him, his brothers, or even Splinter! She smelled different, sounded different, and felt so warm and soft! Unlike his tank that was cold and wet. So, when Sasha sat in front of him to watch him some more, he stepped over to her and buried himself into her chest, enjoying the warm and soft fur, being relaxed by the sound of her heartbeat and purring. Soon Sacks told April to quickly run and bring he other Turtles in too! And it was amazing! April ran over to Sasha and Donnie, putting the other Turtles on the table in front of her, introducing herself and The Turtles! The Five of them took to each other very well! Leo watched the cheetah intensely, Mikey joined Donnie in cuddling her fur, and Raph took a small nibble of her tail.
But like all good things, this too had to come to an end! And it would be the last time Sasha would see those little turtles again. Sacks took Sasha back to The F.A.N.G.S Lab, and later on that same night, Sasha was awoken by the smell of smoke! The facility was on fire and there where no doctors around! Sasha, through some trial and error was able to escape her cage and ran over to The other Male Cheetah's cage and opened it up for him. As soon as she did this, he picked her up and started running off out of the Lab, passing the other F.A.N.G.S Subjects. Sasha made him stop, and convinced him to help her save them too. After doing so, the five of them escaped out of the lab and fled into a quiet Subway station.
For a few weeks, these five wondered around the subway lines of New York, before making to an almost uninhabited part of the city, finding a huge abandoned Subway station. A perfect home for them!
For fifteen long years, that's where Sasha was raised! The F.A.N.G.S now acting like one big unit! A pack! A.....family! Sasha was the youngest out of the five of them, mostly seen as the baby and was usually protected by the others, though she did show that she was capable on her own a few times in her life! Despite never being aggressive or violent like her fellow Pack Members, she was far more resourceful and was fond of using her Wit, Cunning, and inventiveness to aid her! Kenai, while not blood related to her, still treated her like his blood sister. And he was defiantly the oldest out of the five! Luna and Harry where the same age, but Harry was defiantly the bigger out of the two. His size alone would be enough to scare most threats away, with a temper to match! Luna had a mean streak too, but was a tad bit more on the sassy side, rather then angry. With Tori being the same age as Sasha, though being a Fennec Fox, was still much shorter then all of them! But she was no less resourceful, as her size was perfect for sneaking around and her ears being extremely useful for hearing threats before they'd show up!
As for Sasha, the controlled mutation had done wonders for her intelligence. She showed real skill with her hands as she made all kinds of gadgets and weapons for herself and her Packmates to use! She even equipped the Den with all the nicest comforts from TV's to AC hookups! The only real downside to this was.....she could still remember everything that happened in that Lab that created them! While the others only had flashes of memories, they couldn't really comprehend the events of every day they spent in there. This ate away at Sasha for a few reasons, but the most important of which was because....those little itty bitty Box Turtles. The day the lab caught fire, was the same day she met them. They where nice, and the only other subjects in that lab aside from her and her Packmates. She hated to think that they might have perished in the fire, but seeing the way April cared so much for them, she had faith that....some how, she found a way to save them.
In all honesty her packmates didn't believe her, that there were other subjects at the lab! Or that they'd even be alive. And to prove she wasn't crazy, Sasha built a small machine (that she admitted she got the idea from Meet the Robinsons) that would let her see her memories! And display them for the others. And while it did convince them that, yes, they existed. It didn't prove weather or not they where still alive.
As the years dragged on, Sasha and the others had to admit, they where starting to become a little resentful of humans. Each one of them really wanted to do more with their lives! Kenai wanted to work with Wildlife conservations! To keep more animals from becoming lab rats like they where! Harry wanted to get into MMA fighting, to show off his strength and finally use his full skillset as a fighter! Luna and Tori wanted so badly to be Rap/R&B artists! Sure they didn't necessarily need to be seen to do that, but to go on tour, they would have to! And as for Sasha....her reasons where a tad bit more on the nose! One, she wanted to use her technical knowledge to help better society! And two....she wanted to find love! Sasha had spent years watching sweet and beautiful loves stories in anything from Movies, to Shows, to video games. And she wasn't gunna lie, it looked like fun! Seeing two people lock eyes with one another, and seeing the sparks fly as they'd kiss! It made her sweet nerdy heart melt! But.....she'd never be able to experience that for herself.....not while she looked like this.
That's when Sasha had an absolutely crazy idea, if the mutagen that was used on them turned them into humanoids, perhaps they could use they're blood, take out the mutagen, and reengineer it to make them all human! Sasha pitched the idea to the others, and they all agreed that this was they're quest!
However, they swiftly hit a roadblock on this path, as while Sasha was able to get enough samples from all of them to get enough mutagen to create the serum that would change them....there where noticeable gaps in their Mutagenic codes! In other words, the mutagen from their blood wouldn't be enough to complete the serum. They'd need blood from every test subject that was involved with Project Renaissance. Meaning they needed those Turtles.....but....they where long gone. And it seemed all was lost for them.
This was, until one day, the huge spire at the top of Sacks Tower was destroyed, it had fallen into the streets along with Shredder! He and Sacks where both taken into custody, and their plot to infect the city with a deadly toxin was reveled to the public. The news had stated that a man named Vernon Fenwick, who was apparently a Channel 6 News Camera Man, stopped Shredder and The Foot from completing their task. Calling him Vern "The Falcon" Fenwick. This was a crock of shit, and Sasha and her fellow Packmates weren't buying it one bit! But...they had no real proof as to what really happened.
This didn't stop Sasha though, as she kept looking for answers! She even asked her Packmates to set out small security cameras in different locations throughout the city to try and see if she couldn't catch something on them! Anything! And finally, two years later, she caught something! On top of Madison Square Garden, just as a Knicks game was about to begin, Sasha caught a very blurry glimpse of what looked like four very large figures sneaking into an air vet on the roof! Sasha's heart practically skipped a beat seeing this! Could it be those Turtles? Did they survive somehow? Where had they been this whole time?
That same evening, hours later, The shredder was being transported to another prison. But the mission was unsuccessful, as The Foot where trying to break him out of police custody. But with the help of a very strange Garbage Truck intervening with the operation, they where slowed down. Until a weird portal opened, dragging The Shredder inside it, and then disappearing! Sasha was able to watch a lot of the action through some more of her hidden cameras. In particular, she took note of all the strange weapons on the Garbage Truck. And the name on the side.....Tartaruga Brothers....
It had to be them! It just had to be! And she HAD to meet them again!
So, she pulled her Packmates aside and asked them to please be on the look out for The Turtles when they'd go out. If they met them face to face, try to convince them to come back to the Den. So that she could see if they'd be will to help them make the serum they needed to become human. And even make some for them too, if they so wanted. Her Packmates promising that they would do so, but ultimately thinking to themselves that the day would never come, and that their younger Packmate had finally lost it. But after the Technodrome appearing over the city, and then it suddenly being sucked back through the portal it came out of, Sasha was even more convinced that she wasn't crazy! Especially after hearing April's words on the news, "Do we need to give our hero's a name and a face? Or is it enough to know that their out there watching over us, from the Shadows?"

Relationship W/ The Turtles: Sasha met The Turtles when they all where just babies, including herself! Thanks to her mutations, she was able to still remember them years later! She holds them all very close to her heart, as they where her first real friends, even if it was just for a moment. When finally getting to meet them again after years of thinking they where gone, she was overjoyed, almost star struck! Sasha respects Leo, as he acts like her older brother does, and she can tell he truly cares about his family! He's kind to her, and has a pretty good amount of respect for her, as he can tell she genuinely cares about them. He sees a lot of Donnie in her, and while he may not understand all that comes out of her mouth, he trusts her. Sasha doesn't tend to interact with Raph much beyond the occasional potshots at one another, uselly caused with Raph tries to poke fun at her. But side from this, they actually make a pretty decent team. And he respects his brother, so he respects her to a degree. Mikey and Sasha get along pretty well. She can get fed up with his stupidity sometimes, usually leading to her going into Sass Mode. But for the most part, she treats him much like a little brother, which is new considering she's the baby in her family.

Our next version of her is probably one of the most fun to draw versions yet! ROTTMNT Sasha!
Tumblr media
The last Sasha that was formally a human, and probably one of the most interesting versions of her! She's not like most of her versions, as her attitude is a far cry different from all the others! She's a true queen of sass, and loves to let others know it! But.....she wasn't always that way....
Sasha was born into a small middle class family, and while nothing was really all that wrong with Sasha, most folks including her parents seemed to think she was quite the strange. Sasha had a very strong attachment to Animals, Plants, Nature, and anything really having to do with the great out doors. So much so, that she would purposefully sneak into neighbor's yards to play and feed their cats when she thought they where lonely! This caused her to get in trouble on more then one occasion, however this didn't really make her bitter at anyone at all and she was still the same old quiet weird kid on the block. Until one day, Sasha had managed to break into another neighbor's house to see if their pets where ok, only to then be chased and bitten by the dog.
Her parents finally had enough and sent her off to a girls only boarding school, where they would no longer have to deal with her odd behavior and hopefully she'd grow out of this strange phase. But this did the opposite. Thanks to her behavior and being the new kid, Sasha was picked on a lot by the other girls in the school, causing her to only immerse herself more with animal work. Though now she had a severe fear of dogs.
This interest of hers lead her to being asked to help the school out in their Science department, helping to care for the various plants, Insects, and Small animals they used for the classes. And for a while this made Sasha very happy, though, she did start wondering way some many people seemed to hate her. Even her own parents didn't seem to like her. But why? What made her so different? They where all human? So why was she so hated?
Sasha began to try and act more....normal. First, she started by trying out for sports, getting into the Track Team as a result! Then she tried getting into things like Dancing and Music, as all the girls seemed to be really into it and would talk about it all the time! But, even with all these things, Sasha was still pretty quiet and still got picked on by her classmates. And it was starting to seem like no matter how hard she tried to make herself more acceptable, she was doomed to be ridiculed.
One day though, Sasha was approached by a group of some of the most popular girls in the school, and they seemed to be genuinely interested in her work with the lab animals. Thinking that they were wanting to be friends, Sasha was overjoyed and excitedly showed the girls all the animals they had. Eventually, this seeped into other parts of her life. The girls was go to Track practice and watch her run, they'd listen and dance to music together, and Sasha would even start being more vocal and confident sounding in the way she spoke. All she needed where some people who seemed to care about her.
Little did she know, this was just a plot to play a cruel prank.
One day, during an important Track Competition with the whole school and others watching, the girls decided to put their sick plan into motion. During their time together, the girls found out about Sasha's fear of dogs. So, when it came time for her to compete, the girls set free a few dogs onto the field. And of course, Sasha panicked! Sasha started hauling ass down the track in blind fear, knocking over the barricades as she did so! Finally, one of the dogs caught up to her and made her trip on one of the hurdles.
Sasha was scratched up pretty bad from the fall but the dogs surrounding her made her freeze in terror. Meanwhile the sound of the girls who she thought where her friends laughing at her suffering, felt like knives being dug into her back and through her heart. And soon, a good amount of the students who where watching started laughing too.
And that's when it happened!
A strange green glowing mosquito landed on Sasha's leg and jabbed her with it's needle. Sasha hardly had time to react to the pain of the bite before her body began to quickly change! The crowed stopped laughing and watched in horror, as they watched their classmate start to turn into a monster, and the dogs start to run away from her! When Sasha stopped changing, she looked down at herself! Her skin was now covered in spotted short fur! Her hands and feet where now replaced with paws and claws! And she turned to see a tail now sprouting out of her backside!
The students all screamed and ran, Sasha was horrified herself, and did the one thing she knew to get away. Run!
In this new form, Sasha speed seemed to be unstoppable, and she booked it as far away from the city as she could! Eventually, Sasha made her way out to the Long Island Woods. But not long after making it there, the exhaustion of everything that happened to her that day, her injuries, and now the rain starting to pour down, Sasha finally ran out of energy and collapsed.
When she awoke she had now idea where she was!
She appeared to be laying down on a doctor's examination table, but this certainly wasn't a Doctor's office. And as she as processing where she was, Sasha started to smell the familiar and terrifying smell of dog everywhere around her. Sasha looked around frantically for a way to escape, but before she could try and get up, the door to the room she was in swung open and in walked a short and stubby humanoid creature with blond curly hair and mustache, brown fur, large buck teeth, a pink shirt and blue jeans, carrying a tray of lemonade. Sasha screamed when she first saw him and hid under her covers. It took a bit of convincing, but after the creature assured her he wouldn't harm her, she poked her head back out.
The creature turned out to be a mutant capybara who's name happened to be Todd. He explained that he found her laying out in the rain and just couldn't leave her there, especially with all those wounds on her body. After a few short introductions, Todd asked Sasha what happened to her. And he listened to every word she said. He seemed to genuinely care for her well being, unlike those fake friends of hers. After explaining everything, Sasha asked if she could leave. Todd didn't ask where, but figured that must wanna get back to her family, though he was skeptical about how well that would go, given the mutant thing. And truthfully, she didn't know how it would go either. And as she was being escorted out of the Puppy Shelter, she was lost in thought, realizing that this meant she really truly had nowhere to go. Once she left Todd, then what? She wouldn't be welcome back at school, and she damn sure couldn't live in the city amongst humans now!
Not even her own parents wanted her....
She was all alone....
But then, before they get to the gates, Sasha's ears flicked into the direction of a whimpering sound. Sasha looked up and off to the side, to see a small shack with a door cracked open. And after straining her ears, she could tell it was a puppy in distress. And despite her fear of dogs, Sasha felt compelled to go and investigate.
Sasha walked into the shed with Todd fallowing behind, and found a few puppies who where sick. They looked so weak and helpless. Without thinking, Sasha started helping to tend to the sick pups, and it wasn't long before they where up and better then ever.
After this, Todd convinced Sasha to build her own place close to his. And while Sasha was still very afraid of the puppies, she offered to help with any sick or injured pups, in exchange for helping her get back on her feet. They became fast friends, and finally Sasha found a place she truly belonged!

Relationship W/ The Turtles: Sasha didn't have the best encounter with the Shell Heads! Their first time meeting was because Todd recommended that she could help them with a mission. Sasha refused in the beginning but was convinced by Todd to help. This ended up with her having to bail them out of a bad situation. Needless to say, she doesn't like them much in the beginning. Though she eventually warms up to all of them the more and more she hangs around. She and Leo definitely didn't start off on the right foot, not helped by Leo's need to impress her with is "Mad Skills". Sasha just found him annoying, but after a bit of hanging out, the two found that they actually two things in common. Making fun of Donnie when necessary/unnecessary. And being fabulous without trying! Sasha likes Raph quite a bit, sees him like a huge teddy bear. And she's always down to cheer him on when he needs it! She enjoys Mikey's company, and while he can be a bit much at times, she likes to watch him make things! She even grows herbs for him to use in his cooking, and he in turn will draw her nice picture to help decorate her Biodome! Sasha is everything Donnie loves and hates in one big fuzzy cute but mean package! The two share so much in common but so much not that its a wonder how they can stand to be in the same state without going to war! Sasha can't stand his ego, not that she has much room to talk, and Donnie can't stand having her ever beat him at anything! they compete in many things, DDR being the biggest thing they do so in. But despite all their bickering, the two actually work very well together with on missions or fighting. And weather they notice or not, they actually do hold some care for one another. And in rare cases are able to open up to one another about things they can't with others. And they hold that sacred between them. From Frenemies to an unstoppable couple, Sasha and Donnie will always give it their all.

It's used to help her when shooting her spots like arrows with more accuracy and power.)
We're finally at the last Cat in our line up! A CW is in place for this one, as this version includes some pretty heavy topics (Implied SA, Murder, Sex Work, and Child Abuse), so please keep this in mind if you choose to go forward. And if you do, please welcome Batman VS TMNT Sasha!
Tumblr media
This Sasha is the only version of herself to not be an earthling and is rather from a different Dimension. She is also probably the most violent of her versions, with an even darker story behind her too. So, incase it's needed again, CW is in place for some very nasty subjects!
There wasn't really a point in Sasha's life where she had a say in what she wanted to do with it. She was born into Royalty, rulers of The Shibet Empire, and was raised to pretty much just be a pretty face for others to look at. She didn't know it at the time, but her parents where falling into debt, and needed a way to stay afloat. That's when a corrupt and evil businessman/politician approached them with an offer they couldn't refuse! Their young daughters hand, for all the money they could ever need.
So, her 10th birthday came along and Sasha's mom and dad introduced her to the man, Darius Dunn. He claimed to take an interest in Sasha's mystical studies, and was suggested by her parents to give him a "tour" of her personal library. Unfortunately, they didn't do much talking once the doors closed behind them. Sasha went to her parents later that night about what happened to her, but she eavesdropped on a conversation between the two of them where they talked about it like they knew it was gunna happen. It was a way of letting Dunn "test drive" her to see if she would be suitable for him and his needs.
Up to this point in her life, Sasha had always been the ideal little girl! Well behaved, pretty, kind, and graceful! But, the second she realized that the ones who where supposed to protect her only wanted to use her, something clicked within her. That Night, Sasha snuck out and ran away, stealing a bit of money from her parents to help her.
Eventually she made her way to the nearest city. A pretty slummy place, and certainly no place for a 10 year old. But....she couldn't go back to that hell hole! So she found a slum lord who was more then happy to sell this child a rundown old shack at the edge of town. And this worked out for a time, but Sasha knew that this fight wasn't over. Soon word would get out that the Royal family's daughter was missing, and it wouldn't take a lot for someone to put two and two together and find out who she was.
And one night the Landlord saw such an announcement, and came to the same conclusion. It would be so easy for him to sneak by into the house he sold, and take her back to them for a handsome reward! Oh....if only he was right. Sasha didn't wanna do it, but this was survival! She didn't let the Landlord leave alive. And Sasha on some deep level....enjoyed the kill.
Now that she didn't have to pay rent and she was safe from getting captured for now, Sasha could use the left over money she had for food. But of course, about 3 years later it was drying up, and Sasha was gunna need a way to make more money. So, she had to find a job! But the problem with being a pretty girl looking for a job in a scummy city is, the only men willing to hire her for anything were huge creeps that wanted "something extra" for the deal. Sasha went everywhere, but no one wanted to hire her for a normal job thanks to her age and sex. And just as all seemed lost, Sasha over heard a few men talking about a special Night Club, where the women where super strong and didn't let the men push them around! It was called "The Hunt".
This sounded like a good fit for her, so she tracked down the place. And at first, the owner was ready to give her the boot immediately thanks to her age, but....she saw something in her eyes. A need for survival, and strong fire in her soul. So, she was hired, only to work in the kitchen at first as a dishwasher, waiting until she was old enough to work on the actual floor serving food and taking orders. Once she was 16, she started doing just that, and she got to see what those men where talking about!
It was basically a more sophisticated Strip Club, where the girls would dance, and at the end would choose a costumer or two to take back into they're private rooms to "entertain" them. But if any of the guests got out of line or upset one of the ladies, they had no problem disciplining the guests themselves! And the ladies made Sasha feel safe too, making them all feel more like family to her! And while working there, Sasha started saving the money for a side venture of hers! See, while working for the club was fun and paid the bills, until she was old enough to become a dancer, she really wouldn't be making the big bucks. And she really wanted to get that rush of violence that always nagged at her. She had heard some of the men and even the ladies at the club talk about hiring Assassins, and it sounded like the perfect fit for her.
She had been buying up equipment to make potions that would aid in things like travel and healing, and an outfit that would hide not only her identity, but her gender as well! Along with a mask that would cover her face, with a voice changer built in to hide that fact that she was a woman. And to top it all off, a beautiful sword, a dagger, and some custom made gloves with strong titanium nails on the ends of the fingers! Now, all she needed to do, was get her name out there!
Finally the day came, and Sasha was finally able to start Dancing at the club, now being 18! To start off, she needed to choose a theme and a Stage Name! Deciding to go with "Desert Heat", with an Egyptian Queen theme. Fitting, considering her roots! And while Sasha was in the back filling out her paperwork for the boss, she heard a commotion coming from the floor outside! Sasha peeked out the back to see something that made her blood run cold!
There was a gang of four to five men in the dinning area being waited on by some of the dancers. They where being loud and rude to everyone, even the other guests. Sasha recognized them as friends of Dunn and her Parents, they were extremely dangerous people who wouldn't hesitate to kill the dancers if they fought back. And if they spotted her, she'd be forced back to her "life" as Dunn's plaything. And calling the authorities came with it's own line of risks, so....the only thing left to do, was fight...
Sasha quickly ran back home and got her equipment and suited up, then she went back to the club. As she walked in, her appearance alone spooked a few of the guests, but she wasn't there for them.
It was quick, Sasha approached the men and told them to leave as it seemed like they weren't welcome. That's when they thought it would be a good idea to start tryin to fight her. It didn't really end well in their favor as Sasha quickly killed two of the men, severely injured the third, and felt the leader alive to warn him that if he ever caught wind of him or more of his flunkies in this part of town again, she wouldn't hesitate to finish the job. And then she kicked them out. But before leaving, the owner asked her (him) who he was, and why did he help?
He merely said he was a close friend of Sasha's, and that she ran to get him for help. And as for his name, he only said to call him Mirage, and that if he was ever needed again, just let Sasha know.

And that Does it folks! That's all the Sasha's! I'm sorry that it took so long to finish this, but I've been trying to go back in a fix grammar and spelling here and there! But that's a wrap! If I feel the need to ever make another Sasha version, especially if I feel the new Mutant Mayhem coming out next year is good enough, I'll go back in and edit this post then!
But for now, Thank you for reading about my lady! And I hope to share all my cringe art of her soon!

hey, do have any bratty/snobish/spoiled draco fic recs? preferably established relationship (drarry obvi) or sum similar? i'm in the mood for smitten!harry lmao, thanks in advance, love :)
Hi lovely! I’ve only read a few, hope they work for you. I highlighted the ones that feature established relationship in some capacity :)
Let Me Have You and I'll Let You Save Me by Frayach (2012, Mature, 6k) - est relationship
Draco keeps coming back, and Harry keeps letting him. Draco can’t stay away, and Harry can’t live without him.
Spoiled Little Brat by @fastbrother and @appleslightning (2024, Teen and Up, 9k)
Harry won’t stoop to Malfoy’s level. Really, he won’t. (He will.)
Reparatio by astolat (2016, Explicit, 17k) - est relationship
Draco snorted. “I’m not reduced to penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think you’re the only one can give it to me.”
amid this warm and steady sweetness by warmfoothills (2019, Explicit, 21k)
Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.
Touch Me Fall by @lqtraintracks (2014, Explicit, 24k)
Malfoy was such a ponce. And he was a complete snob. And he was so fucking fit Harry wanted to jump him where he sat. It would be too easy to forget his objective tonight: to really, really, really get Malfoy out of his system.
Burn the Curtains and the Wine by @nerdherderette (2019, Explicit, 24k) - est relationship
There are two versions of Harry Potter: the wizard who is the Ministry of Magic's most dangerous and successful assassin, and the husband who leads a staid life of domesticity with a reformed Death Eater. And never the twain shall meet.Until, one day, they do.
Slithering by astolat (2016, Explicit, 27k)
Draco found the nest down in the Manor’s cellars, while he was clearing them out.
The Gentlewizard Club by Sophie_French (2014, Explicit, 28k)
Draco wants what Draco wants. And if he has to snuggle up to Harry to get it, well, surely, Draco can handle that. Problem is, not sure Harry can.
Stain of Silence by brummell (2013, Explicit, 28k) - eventual est relationship
After the war, Draco serves out his sentence in Harry Potter's house.
Headway series by orphan_account (2017, Explicit, 31k) - est relationship (Ron/Harry/Hermione, Harry/Draco)
“It’s called courting,” Draco spat suddenly, livid and red in the face. “I wouldn’t expect you to understand a single thing about it, actually Potter, since it’s formal, and there are rules, and neither of those are concepts you’d know anything about even if they took on human form and kicked you right in the fucking dick.”
In Our Blood by @secretsalex (2018, Explicit, 37k) - est relationship
Draco is an accomplished pure-blood curse breaker, and Harry is tasked with accompanying him on his latest job—cleaning up the Van Boer mansion, which has been under a devastating fertility curse for seven generations.
Shine, Even in the Darkness by raitala (2014, Explicit, 41k)
Harry hasn’t seen Draco for over fifteen years, but now he’s showing up everywhere and Harry is sort of weirdly attracted to him, but that can’t be right?
Bite Me, Hate Memes by pir8fancier (2007, Explicit, 44k) - eventual est relationship
Draco Malfoy is incensed to realize that someone is trying to usurp his position as the premier Harry Potter hater.
The Trouble with Wanting by waldorph (2021, E, 60k)
Draco Malfoy is cleared of all charges; this is what happens next.
What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym (2017, Mature, 131k)
Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION ( Jeannette Nobbe)
VOLSKRANT.NL 31/01/20
by Mennon Pot
https://www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-media/conchita-wurst-sorry-dat-ik-zo-n-wandelend-cliche-ben~b0477817/
(Conchita) Wurst: 'I'm sorry I'm a walking cliché'.
Above all we know Conchita Wurst as the bearded 'female 'singer who won the ESC in 2014. But we've moved on and are a bit wiser. It´s just Wurst now, but the beard is still there.
With light feathered steps, Thomas Neuwirth (31) enters the conference room of the hotel in Groningen where he is staying: black combat boots, black leather pants, tight black T-shirt, the black beard and the perfect short trimmed jet black hair..
He introduces himself as Tom. It's not difficult to recognise the bearded drag queen Conchita in him. (Kopenhagen, 2014, remember?) but the dress and wig are stowed away for a while. Conchita has a sort of sabbatical, so to speak.
Neuwirth is on tour as a man. Stage name: Wurst. Yesterday evening he performed in Groningen; the next concert will be 7 february at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. His new album 'Truth over Magnitude' also carries the artist´s name Wurst.
Let's get this straight: when the subject is Conchita Wurst, the word 'transgender' sometimes comes a long. Wrongly. Neuwirth is a man, ('but incredibly gay, of course'), who has a choice from now on: being on tour as a drag queen (Conchita) or as a man (Wurst) .
´a lot of fun, being a masculine stage persona', he says. Conchita will turn up again somewhere else.
Holland appreciated Conchita's 'Rise like a Phoenix' with the highest score, almost 6 years ago.
Neuwirth didn't forget: twelve points, douze points from Holland for the bearded diva from Austria.
Then hectic years followed. 'After the Song Contest I thought, I have to make the most of it now, build my fame and cash it in. So I surrounded myself with all kinds of experts, managers, stylists, make/up artists, the whole circus. After 3 years I was exhausted. I couldn´t do it anymore. I told my audience every nigh, be yourself, believe in yourself. But along the way, I forgot myself.´
He got rid of the experts’ circus and is having a relaxed tour now, with a small entourage. He feels good again, although in 2018 he had to announce he is infected with the HIV virus. His manager politely asks, almost in an humble manner, not to talk about that.
Tom doesn´t appear to be very worried about that. There has seldom been a star who starts an interview so cheerfully. ´A great photo shoot and after that talk about things I find beautiful and fun.
Terrific, I was already looking forward to it when I came out of bed.´
´Curriculum Vitae'
1988 – Born as Thomas Neuwirth in Gmunden, Austria
2007 – Candidate at the talentshow Starmania, and boyband Jetzt anders!
2011 – Debut as female persona Conchita Wurst, the debut single `I´ll be there´

Wurst will be performing in the Melkweg in Amsterdam on February 7
SOUNDTRACK
Music from the Motion Picture Titanic ...1997
´My first CD. I was 9 years old when I bought it. `My heart will go on´’changed my life´. As it were, Céline Dion gave me permission to be utterly dramatic and to be over the top. When I came out of the closet, I heard that song in my head.
It was also a liberation for me as a singer. My mom always sang with a thin, high falsetto voice. I thought that was how it should be. Dion taught me, you may yell as hard as you can, with all the power you have in you. When you sing so loud, you can’t fake it. The sound you push out of your body, is the sound of your body, unique and by definition authentic. Céline Dion taught me that singing is something really physical.´
SERIES
The Crown ..Netflix..., 2016 until 2019
´For me it´s getting difficult to watch a movie to the end. I guess that´s because of all the series on Netflix and HBO. My favorite is `The Crown´.. ´the intro alone is so beautiful, that liquid gold that forms a crown, such art. I used to watch it twice. Ít says something about the fact that I can´t choose between the two women who play Elizabeth and the two men who play prince Philip. All the actors are great. The costumes, the stories, the palaces, it´s so delightful. The history also intrigues me, after every episode I checked on Wikipedia if it was really what had happened.
PARTIES
´At Christmas I always come back to Vienna. I love the lights, glitters and decorations, my inner Mariah Carey is looking forward to it every year. Christmas 2019 was extra special because it had been a long time since the whole family came together at my grandmother´s house.´
I would love it to be like that every year... A couple of days being together in one home. Talking, getting to really know my family. Maybe now you think, days on and on with uncles and aunts, such horror! It is easy to say that I don´t really have much in common with these people. But I do, Really. They all have a story and similarities with your stories. Ask them about your life and tell them about yours.´
That´s what Christmas is all about to me. To me, the birth of Jesus has not that much to do with it.´
ISLAND..
I have an agreement with my best friends to go on vacation at least once every two years. We have been to Mykonos a couple of times, THE especially gay island. I´m sorry I sound like a walking cliché.´
The sun, the sea, the beaches, the small streets, so cosy. We rent a house with a pool and for a week or two we live in our own little paradise, actually being a bit tipsy the whole time. Go shopping and cook.´
`What´s also very important, on Mykomos, the wind is always blowing the right way. I love to watch the women, because their dresses and their hair flutter so beautifully.´
STYLE ICON
Victoria Beckham
I was and still am a big Spice Girls fan and I especially admire Victoria Beckham, because she lives her life the way she wants. She appears in tabloids every day, but has survived a crisis in her relationship and has stayed happy with the love of her life and her family. I think that it´s really strong.´
In regard to her style, she can go from very classy to very trashy, I like that. One day she´s wearing a designer dress, the next she and David Beckham are walking in identical jogging suits. She couldn’t care less. I think that it´s inspiring.´
´I think she is utterly authentic, raging through the glamour. Although I have never met her, I´m sure that I could have a lot of fun with her. I´d love to drink some tequila with her for an afternoon or so.´
AGE
30
´I thought becoming 30 was really special, I lost my wild behaviour, came to be more restful. Some way or another I think a lot about some things my mother said: in my twenties, I ignored those lessons, but now I´m 30, I suddenly realised she was right for example how important family and friends are.
I´m 31 now, I have inner peace and my life in order, but I still feel young. I´m convinced that this the best period of my life´. My advise to everybody... be 30.´
ALBUM
Recomposed by Max Richter / The Four Seasons ..2012
I don´t play any instruments and until not too long ago, I didn´t really know much about music. I really found that a pity sometimes. Fortunately, my good friend Martin studies at the School of Musical Arts... !! He´s studying the history of music intensely and tells me about a lot of great composers. I learn a lot from that.´´I never understood classical music and didn´t really know anything about it, but thanks to the listening sessions with Martin I fell in love with Vivaldi..
The pop artist of the classical artists.
´Max Richter interpreted Vivaldi´s Four Seasons and composed it in a modern fashion. It´s a modern, post minimalistic piece, completely different from the original one, but you still recognise it. Greatly done, at the moment it´s my favorite album.´
BOOK
Friedrich Schiller « Ueber die aesthetische Erziehung des Menschen ». About the aesthetic upbringing of the people..´
´A good friend advised me to read the philosophical letters from Friedrich Schiller ..Letters, 1794-1795)
That´s a hard job to do. Because of the old fashioned German I had to read some sentences 5 times. You always have to wrestle yourself through a thick layer of 18th century sexism.
´But further on you´ll find something beautiful. Schiller writes a lot about finding your inner beauty and your own truth. Dare to be yourself. Embrace your darker sides. Those are important as well.´
´At the same time he preaches self-perspective.. don´t take yourself too seriously, you´re not the center of the universe. That is very worthy to me. Namely because I DO think I´m the center of the universe, haha.
`Still it´s very wise of him, to send a message from 1795 to a 21st century queen with a Mariah Carey complex.´
CLUB
Circus in Vienna
´The Arena is a huge complex in Vienna, a concert building with a mega discotheque. A couple of times a year they organize Circus, my favorite gay club night. I always go there with my group of closest friends, but it´s actually a bit of a rule that we lose each other and disappear into the crowd.´
´I roam around all night- Every room, every floor has its own musical theme and decoration. I love the types of people I meet there, their clothes, their fetishisms, everything.´
….Arena Vienna, Baumgasse 80, Vienna
CITY
Amsterdam
´I live in Vienna, I love Vienna and I will always come back there, but the greatest city I´ve been to is Amsterdam – since then I traveled all over the world so I know what I´m talking about.
´Of all the cities I visited, Amsterdam is the only one where I would want to live a period of time. So that´s what I´m gonna do, this summer, for a few months to begin with.´
´I can see that Amsterdam also has the flagship stores from all known store chains. And a lot of tourists, like every special city. But I see all these small jewelry shops where they sell their self-made jewelry. Little bakeries. Cosy streets. And a lot of water. I love water. I love cities with lots of water.´

Okay I'm going to make a post because I can't deal with everything that got asked/shat out my way
I am sorry for this rant, but I am legit ready to leave tumblr again. Like I forgot why I hated it so much, but lord is this an unhealthy environment for so many reasons. Mainly, because of discourse/call out culture. And I'm obviously not talking about being "PC" or anything, but just being an all around mean spirited person if anyone says anything that either 1) doesn't agree with you/your views/your fandom, 2) if anything is even slightly false or not entirely fact-checked, or 3) goes against most popular opinions without writing an entire graduate-level thesis about why you believe your opinion/view/observation is valid. Like if you want to complain or voice an opinion about anything, or even joke about something that you think is funny, you could very likely almost immediately be called out or even be sent WAVES of hate that usually is completely undeserved. Especially since people are hiding behind a screen of anonymity or at least behind an online persona, they don't think about the person on the receiving end of it. They don't think how their mean spirited comments or backlash could effect them mentally, and they don't even stop to think what else could be going on in their lives. Yesterday, (was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday, but GOD was it a long fucking day if it was) I made some posts after recapping through the Rost. Cup after I watched each medalist's short and long, as well as all the US skaters, big names, and for the men and ladies, almost all 11 skaters honestly. I love figure skating, and NO, unlike a lot of people wrongfully assumed, am not a part of the "fandom" and did not get into it because of YOI. Was a passion reignited from like a barbeque level flame to a bonfire with YOI's help? Yes. But would it probably have gone to a similar level with the Olympic season going into full swing? Highly likely. But anyways, I made some posts because I wanted to voice some observations, complaints, and things I thought were funny because tumblr is the only place I ever really rant/voice theories/talk about a lot of my interests, since I don't have any irl friends who are interested in almost half of the things I am. So, tumblr is usually the place that I dump these feelings/thoughts. Sure, one of them was a little off-color, and posted without thinking, but after about an hour (and like 3-4 replies I think), I looked back on it, and realized it didn't need to be posted out there, even if I didn't mean it to be mean. Does this mean I owed every single person who "called me out" for being uninformed, or for being mean, or for being whatever the hell I am a reply? No. Did I know that some things were answered over Twitter, or weibo (sp?) or Reddit, or whatever other gd social media that I don't use? No. Does that man I am uniformed and spreading lies or whatever? I don't think so, and that doesn't make me a fucking villain. I also deleted it, because I realized I was wrong. End of story, part 1. But then, the figure skating fandom found some of my posts/commentary/rants. (god forbid they somehow find this and attack me ALL OVER AGAIN, except for y'all that were part of this whole issue. I hope y'all see this, because it's not like I blocked you. Except for one tumblr user who blocked me because of my post? Like you do you, except don't reblog my post and block me so I can't see what you said, presumably about how I am a terrible person). And apparently 1) if you insult/don't like/say Y***** H**** didn't do his best/were disappointed in him, or if you like the person who won over him more... Then you deserve to die. And 2) if you even make a post about YOI or other anime, you are a fake fan who knows nothing. And 3) even mirroring almost the exact words of sports (specifically figure skating) commentators in your posts means nothing? Like it OBVIOUSLY means that you are making up bullshit to hate on skaters that are popular and are misinformed, right??? Or if you say one thing that was similar to an APPARENTLY problematic broadcast group, that nothing (including any commentary from official other broadcasts, because GUESS WHAT: it's hard to find recordings of all of the programs and exhibitions with English commentary, and there are usually 3-4 networks that have it, and SO MANY people upload different ones to YouTube) else you say matters or has any merit. I haven't even read all of the hate mail and submissions I received from this debacle. My mental health can't take it. I literally woke up for school the next morning, saw my notifications and couldn't get myself to stop crying from the anger/upsetness/trauma/depressed thoughts that bubbled up with all of it, and I couldn't even get myself to go to class because I was so shaken. Like visibly, physically shaken, to the point where I couldn't think straight and I literally had tremors from how upset and unstable it made me feel. Tumblr should be a place where I can voice my opinion on something I am passionate about without all this hate. I literally have no other place. Right now, irl, I got dragged into drama (not mine, I swear, I was just a witness and got pulled into the mess) with my honor society, and the girl who started it all is trying to pit the entire organization against me. I can't post anything on my finsta, and God forbid I even tried to post anything in Facebook. (Not like I would). I am already in a very dark place mentally and emotionally because of the trauma this is putting me through, and how unwanted, useless and disgusting everybody is making me feel. I shouldn't be getting that from strangers who just decided to make my life even more miserable on top of it. Legitimately, out of the 30-40 comments/asks/replies/submissions I recieved, only one person even tried to realize where I was coming from or to educate me on what I had done wrong or missed in my analysis. But some of their wording just mirrored all the hate l had recieved, or even other things I had been told in real life that just made me cry even harder and I still can't bring myself to reply to even the person who was civil. My one big point to anyone who sees this is (besides don't be a dick/cyber bully/create and stir up unnecessary discourse) is don't assume that people don't know what they're talking about? Or don't assume that they are fake fans? And don't make people spell every letter of their opinion out for you in a 12 page thesis if it doesn't comply with the tumblr norm. Cuz here are some fun facts about me that I don't normally publicize / post about on tumblr: Yes, I am an anime fan, but Jesus Christ I love/am a huge fan of WAY more than I am in the fandom for. I am honestly only in like 4-5 anime fandoms. Same thing goes for other things I like, such as Harry Potter or marvel. I can like things, A LOT, and be passionate about them without being in the fandom. That doesn't mean I don't like it or I'm not knowledgable on the subject. That doesn't mean that I am an idiot for not knowing a fact/opinion/theory that has made its way around the fandom, that I'm not a part of. YES, I am a HUGE SPORTS FAN. It was legitimately also my fucking career (as a sports reporter/journalist/broadcaster). Do I post on tumblr about Baseball or Football or Hockey? Almost never. Does that make me any less of a fan, or does that make me any less knowledgeable about teams and rules? No. Does that mean that I didn't play/participate in almost every sport growing up? (baseball for 6 years, I still play Intermural football, tennis for 3 years, volleyball for 4, soccer for 1, swimming for like 5 years, I tried track, even karate and some other random stuff.) YES, I AM FUCKING KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT PERFORMANCE SPORTS. I have participated/competed/trained/still watch almost every kind of performance sport. Of course color guard and marching band has been the longest, and the thing I was best at (7 years), but I grew up doing all kinds of dance and I still do lots of dance, as well as TONS of my own choreography. I've done baton and cheer for about 1-2 years each too. I did gymnastics for 4 years — was I very good? hell no. But do I know about it and appreciate it? Yes. SAME THING GOES FOR FIGURE SKATING. I only had like half a years worth of lessons, and like 3 routines that I ever finished and performed with figure skating, but that is because it is an expensive af sport, and I had way more activities and sports that I was better at, more passionate about learning, and were more accessible. BUT did I grow up going to figure skating shows like Disney on Ice or Stars on ice? Did that stop me from waiting in line for hours to get Michelle Kwan and other famous figure skaters autographs? No. Did that stop me from watching almost every single minute of the 2014 and 2010 Olympics? No. Do I still remember watching parts of the 2006 Olympics with my parents and absolutely being ENTHRALLED and wanting to do that too? YES. I still remember watching the 2014 Olympics from my aunt's house when I was staying on a cot in her living room because my mother was in the hospital and CRYING when I saw Y* H* perform, break world records, and win the gold. It was a sense of normalcy and awe because everything else going wrong in my life didn't matter while I was watching these amazing athletes perform. And GUESS WHAT, since I'm not really a part of the Figure Skating fandom (just like I'm not in the musical theatre fandom, or in anything regards to hair or makeup) I don't post about my own hype or plans regarding how excited I am for things to come out. So nobody here on tumblr, or almost ANYONE knew how excited I was for this upcoming Grand Prix season for the first actual competition of the Olympic season. I watched almost every challenger series video, as well as the autumn winter classic and competitions of the like. Even the JGPF events in anticipation. But guess what: I literally have a note on my phone that has all of Team USA's competition schedules, and their scores that they have gotten so far (like at the COR), along with a list of my favorite international skaters, and other new skaters to watch. I was so hype, so excited, and I thought that maybe, since figure skating had boomed in popularity, thanks in part to YOI (but also, helped people be more vocal and open about how much they love the sport even if ex already did) I would be able to discuss the excitement with other people. But no. Instead of being able to say "omg I'm so excited for blah blah blah, I hope they make the Olympic team. But I also love this show concept and this other persons costume, and you also can't count out blah blah blah" and being civil with conversation among other fans... They instead will say " wow you like blah blah blah? But you said this about them, and that offends me so you're wrong, and you forgot this tiny detail from 3 years ago, and you like anime so you OBVIOUSLY only care about figure skating because of YOI. Take your bandwagon fan bullshit away from me and go kill yourself". So now, I am staying the fuck away from the figure skating fandom, I've literally left half of my choreography untouched for almost 2-3 months, don't want to read/finish any of my YOI fanfics, and will probably even have a hard time watching Skate Can this weekend (even though like 6 of my favorite skaters are competing, and I was so excited before). Guess I'll just have to annoy my snapchat friends with videos of skating and me screaming because of skating. Fuck you tumblr, and I doubt I'll make any more original posts outside of APO planning and reblogs in the foreseeable future,

correct me if i'm wrong, but the newer OCs you posted to your art blog come from 3 different stories? Could you tell us more about them, if you don't mind? (I'm really intrigued- they all look so cool and sweet and i'd love to hear more about their stories! and heck yeah Representation™!)
Yup! There’s more stories to be added since there are more OCs to add to the series, but yeah so far the ones I’ve finished are from three different stories. Funny enough, none of them are particularly new, although the art is fairly recent (I finished most of those maybe two months ago?)... 
Mana (the story that Ari and the twins are from) is the newest incarnation of a story and characters that I originally created all the way back in 6th grade, and this incarnation was put together sometime around freshman year of high school (I’ve had a lot of trouble with creator’s block, in case you can’t tell >_
Ari is one of Issa’s two best friends in her normal human life (the story is set just after they’ve graduated high school), and ends up as one of the main crew’s allies in the human world (since one plot point in a later book — I’ve planned it for five books, don’t know what will happen but it’ll happen :P — involves some of the main cast from the ‘Mana’ side having to take refuge in the human world/’Gaia’ for a while). Nihmis and Nihillir are twinned spirits who have been estranged for millennia due to Nihillir (the spirit of misfortune) being trapped in a sort of in-between netherworld called ‘Ourous’. They’re sort of one of the bad guys, but of course things get patched up eventually and I hope the story will end with the twins making up and being happy. I’m not sure. It’s been a while since I’ve tried to conceptualize the plot of Mana, haha!
Revel and Axylis (who I may rename to Asia tbh) are from Wild World, which I started piecing together about two and a half years ago for NaNoWriMo 2014 (I didn’t finish it, haha). It started out as ‘I want to write a story about all my D&D characters in the same universe doing stuff’, and then turned into ‘I want to write about social issues and sexuality and mental health in a post-apocalyptic D&D-esque setting with magic and monsters and polyamory’. Again, the plot in this one is a little shaky since I’ve mostly scrapped the original plot I had planned and am revising from the ground up. Asia (the drow, or in this universe Nzikley - lit. ‘dark elf’, haha) is a character concept I actually came up with about a year before this story was created, as a drow exile slowly dying because drow are sick motherfuckers and stuck a bunch of spiders in him that are eating him from the inside out. In the WW verse, it’s a similar issue, but it was punishment from the king he served (as a slave — see, I told you social issues were coming into it) and they would have been removed if he hadn’t happened to RUN AWAY. Revel, on the other hand, is a vampire who’s been around for millions of years — since before the ‘apocalypse’ happened, in fact — and has just been chilling in the woods for most of that, learning about medicine and woodcraft and letting his social anxiety get far too out of hand. Revel and Asia are actually 2/3 of a poly trio, with the third being my bby girl Raven who is the main character of the story and the newest incarnation of my very first-ever D&D character (from when I was in 2nd grade!) and who starts the story as an trained assassin with amnesia. A big part of her story is going to be recovering her memory and piecing together just what happened to her life (which includes realizing that the sort-of zombie they’re traveling with is her older sister that she accidentally brought back to life, and the half-elf prone to berserker murder sprees is her cousin) as well as a bunch of other stuff. Basically I have a lot of feelings for this story and these characters, but not much planned.
And Zero... is from a story based on a dream I had, honestly, called Fortuna Infection. It’s another sort-of zombie apocalypse, but the zombies aren’t so much undead as infected/possessed by various spirits that are linked to the major arcana of the tarot. Zero and a few other young humans are surviving by hanging out in a stolen boat at the mouth of a river, since most of the spirits and infected can’t cross water but they need to be able to do supply runs and search for other survivors. What eventually is discovered is that Zero is one of the spirits — #0, the Fool — and his job is to appear when the rest of the spirits do and subdue or seal them away again, and in order to do this he was reincarnated in the body of a recently deceased. Who happens to have been one of the other’s girlfriend, Alice. Who then becomes the current incarnation of the spirit that killed her. (Meanwhile, Zero is getting far too attracted to the other survivor, Ace, who may or may not have some very complicated feelings about the fact that his new lover is technically possessing his dead girlfriend’s body but hey, at least he knows what to do on the physical side of things...)
It’s intended to be a graphic novel series (if I ever manage to draw it), but so far I don’t really have anything but some of the main concepts and those four main characters — Zero, Ace, Alice, and a little girl named Star — as well as their respective arcana (the Fool, the Hanged Man, the Lovers, and the Star, respectively). I drew a four-page oneshot sort of ‘bad end’ AU for a summer class that I could post here, which was titled ‘Fortuna Kill’, but that’s about all I’ve done for the series so far, sadly.
Thank you for asking, though!! I’m so glad you want to hear more about my concepts and OCs, oh my gosh :D If you want to ask anything else about the stories or characters or other characters or anything, feel free! In case you can’t tell, I love talking about this stuff :3
