#I LOVE ANSWERING QUESTIONS

[mourningsbane]

oh god no what happened to sweetkit. please tell me you aren't evil enough to kill babies. please.

Sweetkit is doing better! She was found unconscious by a panicked Bearface sticking halfway out of the small, abandoned burrow nearby as if she had tried to quickly scramble out. Tanglefern checked her over and said she was mostly fine, aside from suffering from oxygen deprivation and soreness.

Due to how late Sweetkit initially wandered off, Bearface found her while aimlessly looking around in the dead of night against Rootstar's wishes, who told him that the clan would look in the morning when it was safer. Rootstar and Bearface already have a rocky relationship thanks to The Incident, but now it's at an all-time low.

Anakin Faces Consequences

Thank you @killjoypolitics for the submission

I love all your ideas! I was wondering if you had any ideas for a fix-it where the Jedi or Clones (somehow) prevent Order 66 from happening but Anakin still falls. How do you think the Jedi/Senate/public would respond to his attempted murder of the Jedi? Or the marriage? Or the murder of the Sand People? I’m just so curious as to how you think people would handle it! Do you think Anakin would be able to admit he was wrong and try and make up for what he did?

Hmm those are some intriguing questions. Reading them did give me some immediate ideas. Let’s explore them. 

I think, for this to work, we need to shift some behind the scenes for the Clone Wars. To start with Anakin’s…let's call them his less than stellar command decisions is noticed and noted, even if no one can do anything about them (because he is technically not doing anything wrong). It damages the trust the Clones, other Jedi, and even his own Padawan have in him.  These decisions include but are not limited to: Spending Clone lives to collect R2D2 (whose memory-properly wiped of sensitive information- is backed up to the central Jedi Temple databanks and had outright stated that it had no attachment to its current body), Anakin’s focus on Padme during the Blue Shadow virus, and his reaction to the Rako Hardeen arc (he was literally the only person in Obi Wan’s life to react poorly to finding out Obi Wan went undercover and faked his death, everyone else got Opspec). 

So by the time of the Wrong Jedi arc, no one is actually trusting Anakin with any more information than they absolutely need to. He kind of doesn’t notice because he wasn’t paying that much attention in the first place.  When the Senate demands Padawan Ahsoka Tano for the temple bombing, the Council calls her in to see them, without Anakin, and ‘We know you are innocent, we know this is a trap of some kind, would you be willing to go along to spring the trap and hopefully find who is framing you’ and Ahoska, being partially trained by Obi Wan, agrees.

No one tells Anakin. At the end of the Arc, Ahsoka agrees to continue undercover (as having left the Jedi) and working with the Shadows to figure out what is going on. So Ahsoka ‘leaves’ the Jedi, Anakin none the wiser. She also starts working much more closely with the Coruscant Guard (who had been aware that she was innocent and going along with things to spring the trap). 

This brings us to where Fives finds out about the chips, reports to Rex and Anakin, then is ‘killed’ (his death was faked and he was sent to join Ahsoka).  Anakin suppresses the report because he does not believe that his friend Palpatine could do anything like that. He orders Rex to ignore the report as well, specifically not to bring it up to the Jedi Council. But he does it in a way that still implies Anakin will be bringing it up to the appropriate authorities.  Rex does not trust Anakin, particularly not with anything that would make Palpatine look bad. However if Rex did an end run and went directly to the Jedi Council, it would be very obvious. So instead Rex reached out to Ahsoka with Fives report. 

Ahsoka, now working with the Shadows, gets the report and they are able to investigate the chips.  Though they cannot remove them, for fear that the wrong person will find out too early and activate the rest, they are able to quickly find and manufacture a way to neutralize the control portion of the chips. 

This brings us up to ROTS. To Order 66 and Anakin’s fall.  Anakin leads the march on the temple, and the 501st follow along (not sure where he was going with this), until Anakin strikes down a temple guard while ordering them to open fire. Had it been almost any other Battalion with almost any other Jedi, the Fallen Jedi would have been able to kill many more before he could be stopped.  But the 501st learned some difficult lessons from Pong Krell and Anakin was not gnarly as trusted as he thought.  Anakin is stunned.

Palpatine’s Empire as announced but without the control chips to make the clones kill the Jedi, Palpatine’s Empire lasts 3 days which end with Palpatine’s death. It takes another two weeks for everything to calm down enough to bring Anakin forward to face what he had done. 

Palpatine’s former supporters, the ones that are not outed and ousted during the transformation from Republic to Empire and back, flock to Anakin as the wronged party. Their spin is that Anakin was moving to protect the legal head of the government from an insurrection in the form of the Jedi. 

It gained no traction, because even though Palpatine’s Empire lasted 3 days, it was still enough to see how many of these people would react. Frankly, there were more than a few of those supporters (beings like Tarkin) whose support of Anakin did more harm to the cause than good. 

For many of the Jedi, Anakin’s actions didn’t really rate notice. Not above the horror of the chips, both from the view of ‘all of us would have died’ and ‘the clones would have been forced to kill us’.  Throughout the war Anakin had, mostly unconsciously, been distancing himself from the Jedi. A distance which grew as they realized he could not really be trusted. 

 For most there was sadness, of course, as more of his actions from the war and just before are revealed. But it was the sadness of an old friend going down the wrong path, not the betrayal of current family trying to hurt them.   Finding out Anakin had betrayed his oaths by marrying Padme and had committed murder was just one more thing that had happened. 

The public reaction was mixed. Many bought into ‘The Hero with No Fear’ mythos and could not believe he would attack the Jedi without reason, even after he admitted that his reason was Padme not anything the Jedi had done.  The scandal of it, though, keeps it in the public eye. And it is a seemingly unending  well of scandal for Anakin, Padme, and any number of their supporters.  Not the least of which is the news that Anakin murdered the Tuskans, but Padme’s forgiving him for it was legally binding (As she was acting as a Senator) so he could never be prosecuted for the murders, even if Tatooine and the Tuskens could make an official complaint about his behavior. That Anakin then married Padme made it even worse. 

I think, for Anakin himself, if he gets to the point of falling he would not be willing to admit he had done anything wrong. He seems like the kind of person who would double down and insist that he was right for his decisions.

i just want to say I absolutely adore your art and hope things get less busy for you so you can make as much of it as you'd like to 🩷

Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it - I’m currently working through a ton of different IRL things and the moment, but hopefully I’ll be able to post a lot more here soon ❤️

Here’s a preview / WIP of tonight’s post as well ^^

[inky-ash]

The way you draw Caz and Suze is just phenomenal. What sort of thoughts cross your mind when drawing characters that have little observable appearance in game?

Well, the first that that usually crosses my mind is how I'm going to make them accurate to the game. I personally like to try and get characters I draw as close to cannot as I can using what I can gather about them before adding my own little head cannon details! Suze is definitely the one I've struggled with most over all, since there's barely any references I could find online, and I usually have trouble sending the screens shots to myself since I played it on Xbox 😭

My collage of Caz suze refs, complete with notes

Some closeups of some, I try and collect as many as I can, and I still barely have any, so like if you know where I can find more please let me know you'll be a literal god send

Some bonus sketches/reference doodles cause I occassional put what I learned in art class to use

[tomahachi12]

Felt like this needed its own post so it wasn't hidden in the comments (:

So many questions! 💜

Refers to this post

"Did any of this come to light to the main squad during or post series?"

Post series is when they all learn about Toma's history.

Toma was brought into Outpost 3 before the start of the Pilot episode. I'd say maybe two to three years before. Like Nori, after the implosion, she lost her memories of just about everything up to that point. She does have brief moments where she recalls something, but then it's gone again.

There's something about two of her students that seems so familiar to her, but it's all too fuzzy and makes her head hurt to think about.

--

"How did Nori react?"

You'll have to wait for this one (:

--

"What was her reaction to what happened with Yeva, and especially Alice?"

It wasn't good ):

--

"(Did) Khan ever feel guilty for accidently leaving her for dead?"

Khan doesn't remember her. There were so many dead bodies (human and drone) in the area he had to block it from his mind so he could continue to lead the others. He was also very much distracted by a purple-haired babe he found half buried in the snow.

Sarah, on the other hand, remembers her. Seeing that Toma is actually alive, and wasn't dead like she first thought that day, hit her hard.

She's happy that Toma is alive and well now, but for a while, she blamed herself and apologized profusely for leaving her behind, and for not being able to recognize whatever signs of life she may have had.

Toma has no idea what Sarah's talking about but forgives her anyway.

If you could be a fictional character, which and why?

Lenore because Annabel.

in all seriousness though, most fictional characters I like have awful lives I don't *really* want to be any of them (like geez no thank-you) but like

also i could have Annabel if i was Lenore + she's just got a great wardrobe any how

[beannary]

Will we see tlp Donnie in his purple bandanna from the show? I know we have that one post Hamato but I could see that as his walking around the layer look and when he goes out the bandanna to match his sibling. ( convoluted rambling I apologize in advance) I could see some BS like Leo had a purple  phase and has a spar bandanna laying around. They have to go into the hidden city for something and BM is frantically searching for Donnie so to not get recognized they dress Donnie up like them and  guilt trip people into thinking there was four of them this hole time (Sorry for the ramble when I find new au I fixate on them)

Also before they met Donnie do they know there is another one of them like did splinter tell them and they’re just such idiots they couldn’t put it together. Or is splinter just going to walk in on them and the person that kidnapped and be like “ we need to talk” did splinter just assume Donnie was dead

Will Donnie not being there in they’re childhood affected the dynamic of the remaining three or will it be the same as the show?

Also last question i promise where is April.

Sorry again this was so long I love your au and can’t wait to see more!

omg dont apologize for this I absolutely adore rambles about my au!!!! other people sharing their thoughts and ideas makes me think about things that i normally wouldnt have thought about and also it makes me super happy that people are enjoying my story enough to be thinking about it

ok we will see tlp Donnie in a purple bandana at some point, but it won't be for a long time. The bandanas that Splinter gave his kids are you know like specifically for being ninjas, and are a sign of their growth and progress in their ninjitsu training. At this point in the story, Donnie isn't a ninja, and doesn't have any sort of training in fighting. Once he starts living with the Hamatos he will start doing some ninjitsu training and eventually Splinter will give him a purple bandana, but its not going to be something that he wears like everyday or all the time. Being a ninja isn't a core part of tlp Donnie's identity, so he will wear the bandana but only when he goes out on ninja missions or whatever with his siblings. I love that idea that they go into the hidden city and dress Donnie up like them since that would lead to so many goofy hijinks, but really I think that Donnie is mostly going to avoid going to the Hidden City for any reason, at least until he is has trained enough in ninjitsu to mostly go about unnoticed. I don't think he'd want to go to the Hidden City because 1. that's where his mom is and theres a chance she might try to steal him back, and 2. he grew up in the Hidden City and it isn't as cool and exciting as New York is. I think Donnie would much rather explore this new city that he's living in.

So Raph, Leo, and Mikey are partly not connecting the dots because they haven't seen Donnie's shell at all (since he's wearing a shirt and his shell is flat enough that even if there is a bump it isn't super noticeable) so they haven't even connected the dots that he is a turtle yet. But also this isn't something that Splinter has really talked about a whole lot. I'm going to actually explain how Splinter left Donnie behind in an upcoming scene (or at least hopefully I will be, unless something changes in my planning). Splinter in the show really hasn't explained to his kids how they were like created, and I think the same would apply to tlp Splinter. Escaping from Draxum AND losing one of his kids in the process would have been a really painful memory, and its not like his kids even remember the sibling that he left behind. I think his reasoning was why should I tell them about this sibling that is probably dead and like cause them to feel pain and loss over someone they don't even remember.

Donnie not being in the picture does change the dynamic a bit! I'm not super great at portraying it since I'm also mostly still figuring out how their dynamic is different. One thing I know for sure is that Raph and Splinter took on the responsibility of doing repairs around the lair. So Raph and Splinter are a lot closer mostly because they have spent a lot of time together just trying to figure out how to create a functioning home with electricity and plumbing and heating and stuff. And a lot of their troubles with that mostly come from the fact that they arent able to actually buy the supplies that they need to set up all of their utilities so they are mostly just trying their best with whatever trash they find. I think Leo would have ended up with most of the responsibility of looking after Mikey since Raph would have been busy helping Splinter with taking care of the lair and stuff, so Leo and Mikey are a lot closer to each other than they are with Raph. And I think now that Mikey is older and is starting to do things on his own Leo isn't quite sure what to do with himself since he's so used to just looking after Mikey, and he is trying to give Mikey space and stuff since he doesn't want to be overbearing and whatever but he does tend to hover. That's actually the same with Raph, once Donnie enters the picture, Donnie will just start taking on a lot of Raph's responsibilities because he finds them fun and so Raph will end up with a lot of free time on her hands to just try to figure out what she likes to do and stuff.

April hasn't been in the episodes that Ive been pulling plot stuff from so she hasn't shown up yet. She will eventually though. How old is April? like 16 I think? she's doing freaking SAT prep and getting ready to start applying for university and stuff she's just so busy all the time and also she's busy getting fired from every possible job she could get in New York that's why she hasn't been in the comic yet also I don't know how many days the comic spans over? Like not that much time has passed in the comic so it isn't that weird that April hasn't showed up. It is weird in the sense that I've been making the comic for a year but in the comic itself not much time has passed. She will show up! eventually!!!! I just don't really know how to like smoothly introduce her to Donnie, also like most of the plots involving Big Mama in the show dont really involve April so idk how to exactly get the two to meet. It'll happen though! definitely sometime this year askldfjh

Hello!! You may remember me!

I got interested in that religion you mentioned creating?? So do share please? If you are able to?

OH MY GODS I LOVE YOU

okay so there the Universe, everything is the Universe, the trees, mountains, leaves, rocks, objects, but humans and animals have a Soul (basically a spirit but different wording) and that Soul can be recycled into other bodies for some. when you die, what happens is whatever you believe will happen. Souls are basically ghosts/spirits in living bodies if the body is alive, or they just wanted the universe. Universe and universe is different, universe is referring to space, like how there's infinite space in this world, if encompasses everything in the world, but Universe is the higher being everything is connected to in a way. The Universe can't control people, but it does send a lot of signs if you look enough, to guide you, even if you don't realize. There are also Spirits, one for Night, one for Day, one for Life, one for Death, but multiple of each for the elements (earth, wind, fire, water) and multiple for each biome which take care of the area or their "thing" ig and take care of them or overlook them

its very environment and happiness centered, there aren't really any rules as long as you are a good person, whatever that means for you

its kinda entangled with Paganism

Would you like to talk about Jotawife headcanons? I have a version of her and a Stand I am always itching to talk about.

Yes I'd love to! Here's a few of mine:

•Marina is half Mexican and half Puerto Rican, she's fluent in Spanish and English. She's also a lepidopterist (scientist of moths and butterflies)

•Marina could not swim to save her life when she first met Jotaro, he taught her how to swim as best as he could

•Only early on into their marriage did Jotaro admit to Marina that he liked her the very first time they met because she yelled at him (he likes them bossy)

•Their first date was at an aquarium in Florida and Jotaro had to contain his excitement at everything he saw (he eventually couldn't hold it in any longer and started blabbering about facts about every fish they saw)

•Marina gifted Jotaro that one pen that Josuke took out of his coat in the Surface episode (he got it back)

•Jotaro picked up a lot of Spanish from Marina and vice versa. While he's not very good at speaking it he does understand Spanish very well. Marina on the other hand had a harder time learning Japanese

•Marina influenced Jolyne's love for butterflies from a very young age and gifted her most of her butterfly earrings

•Marina gets along really well with Holly and Suzi Q, they're all very talkative together and love to cook together while they chat

•Jolyne successfully bullied Jotaro into talking to her mom again because she couldn't stand him fidgeting with his wedding band any longer. Jotaro was a nervous wreck as he stood on Marina's doorstep

•not long after they met again they got remarried and Jotaro eventually told her everything about stands, it took a while for her to get used to them

•she's the opposite of Jotaro when it comes to personality, she's outgoing, charismatic, goofy, and loud while Jotaro isn't. They both bond over appreciating peaceful moments and animals

•she loves to dance, she will pull Jotaro from standing in the corner at a party towards the dancefloor. He's not a good dancer but he'll do it for her

Thank you sm for asking!

[gurokatt]

this person tried to message me the other day, but ended up being cryptic and weird.

like if someone wants to talk to me civilly and ask questions, i'm always happy to answer. but this guy was being weird.

If you want to ask questions just do it, don't beat around the bush or act like this

[thefunniestturtlepurple]

[[So, random headcanon for Donnie. I hear it all the time like, his goggles are used for his glasses or he can use them as sound proof headphones.

But what if his headphones were actually used as hearing aids? Which is why he's always wearing them and sleeps so deeply. And in the episode Smart Lair, where he's blasting shelldon telling him that he's the smartest and hunkiest turtle, a real dream boat, he's wearing his goggles, perhaps to hear what shelldon was telling him. I don't imagine him being fully deaf but partly. Enough that when he doesn't wanna hear his brothers he can just take his goggles off. They have to yell at for him to be able to hear them. Or he just mutes the goggles.

Idk, I might put it in my new au, Brothers Of Neglect, or even use it in the rp's I do on here- yea. (If u wanna ask about the au you cannnn it's still just an idea) ]]

[nkirukaj]

Now that the fanfic is complete, if anyone has any questions about anything in or related to it, you can ask in the comments or send an ask. ANY questions, if you'd like something clarified, or even if you just want to know a fun fact or something, ask away!

[donotlookatmepleaseandthankyou]

I personally am obsessed with the idea of Vox being a very sickly child/person in life (and not just for projection reasons).

I think him being raised under the belief that he was vulnerable/weak would likely contribute to his near-desperate need to be seen as strong once he grew up/eventually wound up in Hell (it was a way of taking back power he had long since been denied. A way of proving basically everyone - from the doctors who said he wouldn’t make it, to his parents who sequestered him away for his whole childhood - wrong).

I also think it would make his descent into becoming “the television demon” all the more interesting. Because now instead of having weak bones and frailer lungs and instead of having scars in the crooks of his elbows from the points of IV needles and an impossibly pale complexion for all the time he spent bed-ridden, he has metal joints that refuse to bend in a way that doesn’t ache and crisscrossed wires that when jolted incorrectly send a wave of pain through him (like a sick imitation of a nerve ending) and a screen that cracks and splinters in ways even his shitty eyesight didn’t used to.

There’s poetry in something weak finally finding strength only to be made so again in a new and entirely foreign way, one that defies all their previous fixes and upends what little consistency their life still held.

(also because I relate to the feeling on a personal level and want to project that onto the capitalist for my own comfort)

Something something Vox has asthma and was the type of child who needed to be taken to the seaside to better his constitution, send post

[dietmountaindewb8by]

Im not sure if you're still open for ask but what about this:

Yandere!Five x Reader

When Five traveled to the future and was stranded there, he held up in an old apartment. He found himself snooping through the original owner's (reader) belongings. Learning more about them and slowly seeing them as an companion through his life. Going as far as imagining them for conversations.

Skip to him back to the present and older. He found the reader on the street and his obsession is still in full swing. What will he do? - 😺

oh my god! i love this so much! i'm always open for asks!

see, since he's already obsessed and he knows you inside and out, he knows that you are the one for him. his perfect other half.

dolores could not hold a candle to you--it got to the point where he burned her in the apocalypse for insulting you, a sacrifice to show you exactly how much he adores you in his twisted mind.

he'll try and get to know you, of course, swoon you like the gentleman he wants to show you that he is. but eventually, it'll grow to be too much for him. he won't be able to handle your divided attention.

and what if you got hurt? what if he couldn't make it to you on time?

so he'll take you.

but don't worry. he'll take such good care of you, just as you deserved all along.
