Runs into the middle of the 2003 Whump fandom, slams this down, runs out screaming "it's shorter than I wanted but fuck it have a damn update"

I know I say this a lot about Donnie, but... demon possession!

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!

FUTURE DONNIE OVERALLS PLS

Donnie building his first robot! :D

(That may or may not look very similar to fugitoid 👀)

And I got shivers. Nice!

A regular day in donnie's lab

[brightlotusmoon]

My friend Ryo, who is working on a Good Genes AU where Mikey double mutated, just brought up an interesting thought. As we're working on his recovery and the family doing group therapy, we figured that Donnie might bring up the Turtle Titan costume reflect on telling Mikey that the concept was so ridiculous his mask must be cutting oxygen to his brain.

Even for bickering silly siblings, that line has always felt a little harsh.

Also, we didn't appreciate how they mocked his superhero sketches. I know, I know, brothers do that all the time, especially them. Hush, it's a dark fix it AU.

We are going hard on the This Family Needs Group Therapy trope. Ryo is really leaning on Splinter for being short sighted. This AU is not kind. We've gotten complaints, heh.

Out of the frying pan and into the fryer we go.

Whew, finally done! Sorry it took so long, this is the largest update I've done yet clocking in at about 15 pages (compared to my usual 7-10). Also, congrats to those who guessed Todd for the distraction! Poor guy went through the last of his mystically preserved lemons just for this moment. What a bro.

I remember when the promos were first released. This assessment is very accurate.

2003 tmnt promo and merch art always makes laugh so hard, cause it’s all like ‘ AAARGH, ANGRY MUTANTS MADE OF PURE MUSCLE, READY TO FIGHT!’

And then you watch the show itself and it’s just 4 small round dudes, being silly and looking like they’re made out of squishy foam.

(I like to imagine that’s what the boys imagine they look like vs what they actually look like 🙃)
