POV: You’re Baron Draxum, and these four teenage turtles and their annoying but strangely cute, adoptive human sister just ruined your plans for the 5th time this week.
And they are mocking you as they escape
Wow. Just wow.
(Blonde character is a self insert, RBs greatly appreciated!)
Anyways I’ve been working on these pieces for a THOUSAND YEARS a whole ass month. They’re done. Finally. Oh my god. Oh my GOD
Anyways I needed to draw Joce and the turtles mocking Draxum after they fuck shit up. It’s fun. Very fun. However Huginn and Muninn were hard af to draw. But still fun.
I put too much effort into these, I know.
Here’s the second piece without the speech bubble:
I had to get my windshield replaced today, and I was chatting with the said dude when I noticed a very specific shade of green on his wallet.
My fangirl brain was like “there’s only a handful of fandoms with THAT specific shade of bright green”
Lo and behold, it was indeed my beloved masked boys. We needed up chatting about TMNT and it’s many conduits for the rest of the time.
Nearing the end of our conversation, I turned to the dude and said, “Since you’re my TMNT brother, I feel like you would be the only person to appreciate this.”
And then I proceeded to go to the back of my car and pull out not my one, not my two, but THREE of my katanas. Like the complete casual fan that I am.
I unfortunately get a lot of grief from my family because of my great love and appreciation for TMNT, but once again I was pleasantly surprised at the connections I get to make because of these silly turtle boys.
I know it’s crazy, but you can reach people by being a fan. I got the sweet privilege of being the facilitator of a smile today. Just because I was a silly little fangirl who loved family and ninja turtles, and I will be forever grateful for that.
Love how he not only takes a week off to visit his mom but also that he shares that with us 🥹🫶🏽
Miles gettin some homemade meal cooked with a mother’s love
Also can we talk about how Billy Fury (tlsp covered his wondrous place) looks like 2013 Alex
Bet it took him like 15 minutes and two dozens of selfies to get the perfect shot 🤣🥹 and his mom just watching him rolling her eyes fondly

ONE MAN BAND - TRACK BY TRACK WITH NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE - WATCH NOW ON YOUTUBE
We are now only 11 DAYS away from OMB being out in the world. COME ON!
To entice you even more to get on this new record - I sat down with my friend @therealnihal to take you through every track on the album.
There was only ever gonna be one man for this job - @therealnihal is not only one of the realest journalists I've ever met, but he is also an absolutely wonderful man who loves music as much as I do.
We shot this back in April before I had done any interviews about this record and whilst the record was still in that precious 'keep me under wraps' zone - so
I'm at my rawest and most exposed here.
I hope you enjoy.
Love you all ❤️🙌🏽🐢xxx
Another bit of the interview where he’s taking bout meeting Lana del Rey. Love how comfortable he’s around Nihal (who’s def asking the right questions) and just generally in love with this two minutes video. I could literally listen to him talk and gesticulate for eternity.
Also Arielle Immediately commenting after he posted it😙
Dang Splinter. Way to throw you arch-nemesis/fellow dad/it's complicated under the bus at the very last second. You know he totally did that on purpose just to annoy poor Draxum and fortify his top spot as best dad for all eternity.
Been holding off on posting this image for days to avoid spoiling people too early on. People have been asking for my opinion on the special and I have to say I absolutely loved it, but will probably wait a few more days to properly discuss.
Yes, this was a real thing we had to help with once.
Even though he complains, Donnie feels a lot of pride being looked to as the family expert for these things, I’m sure. For all that Splinter probably doesn’t know the deep intricacies of computers, I’ll bet he knows the basics. Could there be a deeper meaning to his confusion?
I personally headcanon that Splinter is the one who introduced computers, phones, and appliances to his sons way back in the dumpster diving days, and probably showed Donnie how to fix his first toaster or something. However, the special interest kicked in hard and pretty soon Donnie could run circles around Splinter when it came to fixing and engineering stuff. Perhaps, this is a way Splinter can find time to partake in Donnie’s interests and boost his confidence despite being way out of his depth on technical know-how himself.
When you don’t have a lot, it’s important to be resourceful and handy with a quick fix. Donnie had to have started building stuff somewhere!
It makes it all the more bittersweet if they were really close only to have Splinter struggle to bond with Donnie when he’s a little older. Don’t worry though, they’ll figure it out :)
i present to you the au that has been brewing up in my head for a couple of months now, dr steals-your-ending (thanks sm @scatterbrainedbot for coming up with the name, it slaps)
i need future mikey focused shenanigans like air, so heres my take. idk when i have the time and energy to work on it more but im glad i at least have this bad boy of a comic out of my system for now <3
Twitter hosted another Q & A With Ron Corocillo, and he confirmed that Rise’s BEST chance is for us to keep up the love for it. Right now, the most important thing we can also do is buy the TMNT 40th Anniversary comic, the comic that has Andy Suriano’s Rise of the TMNT comic in it!
No joke, a series will ONLY ever come back if the fan base stays alive, if we invite more fans in and keep up the love. Even though Clone High didn’t do too well, it was brought back because a fan base sprang up out of nowhere on Tik Tok. Studios saw that that there was a demand and they gave in. Rise’s creators want to do more with it, and so does the cast!
In fact, it’s becoming apparent that Rise fans are the most vocal group supporting the 40th anniversary comic. Not just me, but also the image below, when I went to buy the comic and told the worker at the store that I was only there for one version, she said, “Ah, you’re here for Rise, huh.”
SO KEEP UP THE LOVE FOR THE SHOW AND SUPPORT THE COMIC! LET’S GET. IT. DONE! And stick it to those haters!
Forgot to post these here (and I have several more lil comics coming later too) but I have some sibling shenanigans based on @sha-biest’s adorable Chosen Family AU, where the boys and Splinter meet April and her mom Carol much earlier than in canon. They’ve each got their own way to say their big sister’s name as they learn to talk.
So backstory to this is that my roommate and best friend got a beanbag the size of a bed and it was sitting in the middle of our apartment for a while. It was extremely comfortable and I would curl up to sleep in it, but because it was so big I’d sink into the center and people wouldn’t know where I was lol. It was nice though, cause The Bean was big enough to share!
It’s nice to snuggle with friends or siblings! I love how Rise wrote the brothers to be more physically affectionate
