#BayverseTurtles

oh no! my hyperfixation is killing me AGH!

So it turns out I got obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bayverse movies.

Not the first time. But damn, I thought I had escaped. I thought I was free, that I had broken the cycle, that my mind had finally moved on.

But those damn turtles always find a way back.

And you know the obsession is STRONG when it starts small—just a few TikTok edits, one here, one there, like you actually have control. But then you realize it’s already too late, because now you’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with your insomniac ass, imagining ridiculously specific scenarios where, somehow, you are the main character of an interdimensional drama with mutant turtles.

And you think that’s it. But oh no. Oh no, sweetheart. Because then comes the next stage: fanfics.

At first, you try finding them on Wattpad, until you realize there’s nothing there worth reading. So you take the leap to Archive of Our Own, and that’s where you find the good stuff. Paradise. Heaven. Until, little by little, you start noticing that even AO3 isn’t enough anymore.

Because now, fanfics aren’t cutting it. Now you’re HUNGRY. A deep, insatiable hunger for stories with details that only you would think of, for scenes that NO ONE has written before because they only exist in the depraved rabbit hole of your obsessed mind.

And then, you reach the final level of insanity. The point of no return.

Writing your own fanfic.

So guess which stage I’m in.

“Quick” sketch for @zandiiangelspit​ whose Human!BayverseTurtle designs I really love and I’ve really been wanting to draw for an eternity now but I am so busy with so many other things!! 😩💦 Soon I hope to do proper justice and draw all the brothers meeting but for now we settle on the good orange boys! 😌🧡 Their Mikey is on the right, and mine is on the left!

Also, doodles under the cut cause I gotta!~

My hyper fixation for the bayverse guys has been reignited! You're over analyzing of the guys is giving me life, I'm sure you probably have it in the works already but can we get one for the boy in blue? In this iteration especially, I feel like a lot of people overlook him. Please and thank you!

Aaaah thank you so much!! LAKDKS I’m really happy to have reignited your hyperfixation on the Bayverse boys! That makes my day! <3.

And yes!! The next one will be for the blue leader! I feel like his characterization in the movies wasn’t explored as deeply as it could’ve been, and there’s definitely more we can dig into!

(Though, I have to admit… out of all the Bayverse boys, he’s my least favorite LMAO. He kinda rubs me the wrong way, I’m sorry :<.)

But! I’ll do my best and put in my greatest effort! Stay tuned! 💙
