#im gonna try to update this comic soon

[venbetta]

The ✨️girls✨️

I am soooo tired hehehe *explodes*

[bamsara]

Hi sorry im new here i saw one of your TROD comics on youtuve and was like "who made this... bamsara? Guess ill check them out..." and then i spent two weeks binge reading all of TROD so far so i was looking around to try and see like what schedule you usually update it but i cant find it so im just gonna ask how long is it usually between chapters? Cuz when i read things i read them all at once so i was wondering if i should let the hyperfixation go away for however long it decides to go for or if i should wrangle it cuz there should be a new chapter soon.

Writing chapters can usually take anywhere between a few weeks to a few months (usually 2-3) depending on the chapter. Mild ones can only take a few weeks while larger, more plot heavy and character progressive ones can take me much longer (like the drunken gods chapter, and this next one) plus I've been struggling to find time to write with all of the *waves hand* county events right now

[choccy-milky]

Status update on the dark relic nsfw comic please ma'am 🙏 my family is dying

ITS DONE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉...well, the DRAWING part is as of yesterday BAHAHA. now im just adding all the dialogue/speech bubbles/sfx, SO ITS DEFINITELY GONNA BE SOON!! DEFS BY THIS WEEKEND!! ive just been very nitpicky on the font which i cant decide on LMAO and im also nitpicky abt other final touches LOL. i didnt wanna show anymore cuz ive already shown so much but HERES THE FINAL SNEAK PEEK

and speaking of fonts, i normally use handwriting by jeremy paz!

oh man its so random, but i either use the name lumi or clora for everything whenever i play rpgs (baldurs gate 3, dragon age, you name it) and clora originated from rune factory 4 LOL. theres a character named 'clorica' and i really liked that name, it sounds so elegant and fantasy ish, so i eventually just shortened it to clora bahaha. now its my go-to. i like how simple it is but it also sounds unique and works in modern AND fantasy settings, imo

my first and ONLY playthrough was as clora! i originally did try to make myself at the start, but i have short brown hair and straight across bangs, and they didnt have a style that felt 'me', so i went with just making a ravenclaw that i liked, and then gave her my go-to name of clora HAHA. and yea, i built up her and sebs relationship in my head as i was playing, especially with all the running around the castle i did. i just liked to imagine her constantly out of breath and flushed and seb just watching like ....🧍girl chill...

AND SPEAKING OF MY DARK RELIC COMIC/SMUT, my biggest advice for writing smut id say is to have a reasoning behind it, i guess? i focus a lot on their headspace/WHY they're fucking at that moment when i write it LOL instead of just the movements/sex for the sake of sex. in your case, the sexual tension leading up to the first time gives you SO much to work with, since you can just be in his head with how much hes looking forward to it, how much hes savouring it, how he's also nervous but enjoying it and trusting the other person, etc. the thoughts are hotter than the actual deed a lot of the times (which is why when clora and seb did it for the first time it ended up being like, 15k words of just foreplay and build up from sebs perspective LMAOO) so yeah id just try to focus on their emotions and desires if you can! and a lot of the times with consent stuff it CAN feel forced, and you dont even really need your characters to talk about that stuff verbally, at least not too much. you can do it in body language, or just something as simple as 'ill stop if you want'. it doesnt have to be a long therapist-like conversation about consent, which CAN tend to sound a little awkward and unrealistic (esp in the heat of the moment), if thats the problem you're having. HOPE I COULD HELP

also i love this for you and for me. YES GO ON AND MAKE A BUNCH OF CLORA CLONES, I COMMAND IT👉👉👉

and last but not least the most important question. honestly i like plain sweets a lot with no icing/filling. im a slut for shortbread cookies and also just plain glazed donuts. and also custard/portugese/egg tarts, which i also forced clora to like in my fic HAHA. IF YOU HAVENT HAD THEM YOU HAVE TO, THEYRE SO GOOD😩😩💖💖

[nomorezerocomments]

I do have a question! So there's been a problem lately on Ao3 of spam comments. For example, here's one I received recently:

Hi! I just finished reading your story, and wow—your writing is so rich in detail and emotion. I really enjoyed it! You have such a creative mind, and I think your story would make an amazing comic. Would you be interested in discussing that idea? I'm a paid artist with friendly rates, and I love bringing stories to life through visuals. I'd be excited to take your story to the next level! Feel free to reach out to me via Discord (my username is (florabelle_89911) or by email (florabelle357[at]gmail[dot]com). Hope to hear from you soon

As you can see it doesn't mention anything specific about my story, the characters, or the fandom. This comment could work on literally any fic. And as a PSA to everyone that writes on Ao3: this is spam, they're trying to steal your money, do not commission with them. Notice the broad language that is copy and pasted onto comments of recently updated fics. There's not Instagram or TikTok to see their art portfolio. If they do mention one of those, it probably doesn't have any art from the fandom you wrote. Please don't get scammed!

Anyway, onto my question. I don't consider these to be real comments since they are merely copy and pasted and meant to scam the author. So can a fic be included on your spreadsheet if it's only comment(s) are spam comments? To me that would make sense but I thought I'd ask!

yup, even ive been getting spam comments recently, which has never happened to me before.

if you report the comment as spam, i believe it gets deleted from your fic and you go back to being a zero comment fic. so the short answer is, yes, but if i see a fic get submitted that has a comment then im probably not gonna put it on the spreadsheet (i unfortunately dont always have time to check the nature of the comments). if you submit it through the form, you can mention that this is what has happened so i know and i can add it. or you can dm me directly and we can do it that way, whichever is easier!

[majorproblems77]

Sacred realm, Sacred realm, Sacred realm!!!!!

OH BOY, I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE

Prepare yourself for the most excited screaming you've ever heard because this update is wonderful and I love it and I'm so excited about it that I'm writing this instead of sleeping and it will be worth it.

Set the clock its 12.45am lets see if I can do this before I have to go to bed for the morning shift.

Alright, now for the important stuff! Sacred realm belongs to @zelda-the-sacred-realm, and all art from the comics belongs to the comic artist. I've got their permission to do these!

Link to the comic can be found here! :D

Now, get some popcorn and if your like me probably an energy drink too and lets goooooo!

Firstly...

HI

HELLO THERE

OH MY

Big evil big bad. Who's hair is stunning i could never ngl.

(Investigates)

It's awesome to see the black knight like this. (I believe that's right? Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Though im trying to figure out what he found unexpected? Is it Sky? Is Sky the unexpected thing? Good, No body expects the blorbo to come out of the medallion and whoop ass.

Self-sacrificing boy please you are in pain

Cinnamon roll link please i know you're not used to this, but he's got this

He's so damn pretty dammit, pretty boy right here. Hylia chose him for his looks first, 10/10.

Yesssssssssss

GET THEM! GET IT!

THE FACT THAT THEY JUMP IN FRONT OF HIM IS GIVING ME SO MUCH LIFE THEY ARE LIKE PROTECTIVE UNCLES OF THE SMALL CINAMON ROLL.

Like low key look how Sky is moving he's pushing towards time but moving more to the right to do so then time is. Which would indicate that he's moved rather quickly to get in front of this thing.

They have to protect the small hero and it gives me life.

Okay, this all but confirms this isn't the first time they've done this.

Oh and it has to be said

BY THE POWER OF STUBBORN FRIENDSHIP!

That's a practised spell

(using a few panels from this update here) Chapter 4 - part 1

So, I think that the last time the spirits gathered was sometime around when Twilight was still alive, we know that Time had direct contact with Twilight because of the comic panels in the last update.

We also know that Time recognised Sky when he first appeared in the last update.

So there one of two explanations

The medallion or something akin to it has been used in a previous hero's journey. And so some of the spirit already know each other

Or being a spirit grants them foresight that they can just fight with each other like this.

Im more inclined to lean towards the first one at this stage because of that recognition from time but to be honest I think we need to meet Twilight first before we get any answers about that.

I am also going to assume the element that time yields is Electricity (Or time haha.)

It looks like lightning, but we've also seen him use a time spell so I'm not entirely sure at this stage.

Gonna lean towards lighting tho, it suits him

YEAH GET HIM!

He looks so tired, and the lines against him have been growing longer. I assume its more and more of the barrier sucking his energy away.

Pretty boy alert

i am once again an advocate for the Sky is the Best Bean Club he just needs a nap he's going to be fine

Also, Medalion jails for Sky because he's eepy.

I assume this is how we are going to keep Sky out of this arch, he is too tired and is resting from doing this now. I hope we see you soon blorbo!

HA

This made me chuckle, Time just grabbing him by the waist like the child he is brings me joy (Im aware Link isn't a child but he is in the cinnamon roll outfit right now so he is a child)

And time is older than him and is at current the only one who can help with the current predicament.

We interupt the end of this post for a Sky appreciation segment because he is the best bean and is my blorbo and got a bunch of great panels this update

He

Being the hero

Jumping into harm's way

The face of determination

He

Sleepy

Sleepy boy we got sleepy sky and I love him

Okay im done, We shall get back to the end now.

That's everything from me! :D

I hope you enjoyed my rambling please do let me know if you spotted anything I didn't! Thanks for hanging out with me and for uhh, also hanging out as I yell excitedly about my blorbo because, to be honest, I love him and it wouldn't be something from me if I didn't soooo....

Yeah!

Thanks again to the artist for letting me do this! I really appreciate it!

Have a great night!

[akemii14]

Disclaimer: This is just my imagination. But if you want me to release it as a series...

Okay, guys! I'm gonna make Obey Me fantasy au! Synopsis, characters that confirm to be release and additional characters that should be in Obey Me, but did not get released:

Synopsis:

You woke up in the forest. You should be in Devildom with the others, but you end up waking up in the forest. Lucifer amd Mammon looked alike found you sleeping in the forest (and yes, you still saw yourself as Mc sheep)

Characters confirmed (since they are not actually demons, they had human names except Barbatos, Diavolo, Mephistopheles and the other Archangel name. Archangel is actually a human, though)

Lucy:

Human Lucifer Morningstar, just like his demon self, he's strict, hard working, single momm- I mean brother of his siblings. Lucy learned black magic from Prince Diavolo, but he mostly use lightning magic, also he's a magic swordman, Magic Swordman.

Moon:

Greedy guy who cares about money, gambling and bribe. A dumbass, clumsy of Lucy's little brother with Delinquent slang (talk like a delinquent.) But he's the most fun, entertain and kindest person ever (a little bit Tsundere like Mammon- Wait! He is human Mammom!), care about his brothers, actually.

He usually use a guns or small knife in combat.

(Unfinished character concept)

Levi

A shut in human who always stay in the bedroom, alone. Since it was a fantasy era... What is he doing inside his bedroom again? Reading comic?

He did not like to fight against enemies, but if he had to, he will be water mage.

(character concept of Leviathan im Fantasy Au)

Ann

Human Asmodeus, the most non gender specific guy who cares about his beauty also his sibling's looks. A bit of Narcissism, but encouraging 'ugly' peoples that they are actually not ugly, they just not too confident with their looks.

I think he's the best written characters in my A.U because he learn healing power after their little sister died. He also befriend with the young sorcerer, and when his friend disappear, he try his best to find his best friend. Still... A bit Narcissist, likes to shopping for clothes, nothing changes.

Abel

Giant, also the youngest (?) siblings of the five (?) brothers. He build the houses by himself, single handed carrying enormous wood by himself. He did not have any expression because he feel like losing half of him. He get hungry easily, nothing changes, still Beelzebub but human.

(The second important characters/ side characters in Obey Me)

Barbatos

So called 'Demon of Time' or 'God of time' because he was born when the time created. From wandering demon who keeps walking with no purpose to stop until he met Demon King. He is now a demon butler who took care of Diavolo like his own son. (Also Barbatos also doesn't have gender specific, but prefer to be called He/Him because everyone hates intersex gender on that era.)

Diavolo:

Demon Prince, bright, positive and happy go lucky demon. A demon who aim for humans and demons to lived harmony, but the Demon Shadow Armis refused and decided to go havoc. He blame himself because of not stopping the Demon Shadow. They are the causes of death, strange illness and world imbalance.

Simon:

(will add the character profile soon. But for now, Lucy's actual blood related little brother)

Luke:

Simon's adopted son. He does not understand much on how the world works because he's just a kid, hates Lucy and the brothers because they decided to help demons. He thought demons are all bad.

Side characters:

Mephisto:

Nothing changes, he is a trickster magican and also Diavolo's childhood friend. He is against Diavolo and Lucy 'dating scandal' because he loves Diavolo, until... He use rod (?) and hat for combat.

Thirteen:

A grimm reaper bossgirl (Won't update until one character reveal) She mock ____ because he does not use Synthe right. Other than that, she likes to set a prank and really like Mc's pure souls.

Now, the Tenth Magic Council name:

Grand Magus Sol (13th Solomon) - Often the highest-ranking member, the leader or head of the Magic Council.

Councilor Eldorin - A senior member of the council, often advising the Grand Magus and participating in decision-making.

Archmage Elara - A powerful mage who serves on the council, specializing in ancient magics or arcane lore.

High Enchanter Thalia - Responsible for overseeing enchantments and magical artifacts within the council's jurisdiction.

Master Illusionist Silas - Specializes in illusion magic and is often consulted for matters of deception and perception.

Diviner Seraphina - Skilled in divination magic, responsible for foreseeing threats or potential future events.

Transmuter Garrick - Specializes in transmutation magic, adept at changing the form or nature of magical and non-magical substances.

Summoner Aria - Master of summoning magic, responsible for controlling and regulating summoned creatures or entities.

Chronomancer Ezra - A mage who studies time magic, responsible for time-related matters and temporal anomalies.

Enforcer Captain Maris - Leads the council's magical law enforcement division, ensuring magical laws are upheld.

And now, the the Six Light Occult member that had Archangels name. Their purpose is to stop the Demon Shadow... In a wrong way:

Michael

Uriel

Gabriel

Selaphiel

Raguel

Barachiel

Missing or erased characters:

Bell, Raphael and ??? (literally have no name because he just born and then disappear)

Extras:

Why 13th Solomon?

Solomon is original corrupted King. They do shady things such as S.A, support war , etc. The 13th Solomon, however against it and killed his own so called father to end the corruption.

From first to twelveth, they are all the same soul, but different vessel. Before they use the last Solomon's body as their vessel, Solomon against. However, he got beaten up, almost die until Barbatos found him. They make a pact only to completely kill the evil king (Solomon the 12th)

(Day 0 of editing)

I'm done for today. Will update soon. You need to always check this for future updates.

(Day 1 of editing)

I'll add other characters concept in the future. For now, I add Leviathan. Please keep checking because I will always update if I have time.

WELCOME TO THE STAR AND COMSO UNIVERSAL AU TRIP !!

hi hi hello ! and WELCOMEE to the S&CuAUt!! this blog is a collaborative project between @roseetube & @eli-au !! we hope you enjoy this little AU we came up with on a wednesday night,, on this blog we will post comics, doodles, one-shot fics, etc etc !! [also! with the comics, there will be 2 different versions, Eli's version of the story, and Rose's version of the story, same characters, different scenarios)

make sure to check out our ao3 and tumblr pages ! we upload consistently about our au's and ao3's !!! check em out !! :D

╰┈➤ ⋆.ೃ LORE / STORY ! ࿔*:･

one day, lion takes star and cosmo to some place he wanted to show them, then once exploring around cosmo finds, some kind of, time thing? he isn't sure what it is, so he asks star, (star also doesn't know what said item is either), cosmo finds a button on the doohickey, his silly ass presses the button, the item starts to glow, then, BAM !!!! that's when their UNIVERSAL TRIP STARTS !!! they go around, meeting all of @eli-au 's AU's !! and some of @roxyz-silly-box's AU !!! [ go check out her ao3 !!](in a comic format,)

≡;- ꒰ ° MAIN CHARACTERS ! ꒱

MEET: COMSO AND STAR !! if your wondering who is who, then boy oh boy do I have an answer for you !! on the left, is COSMO ! on the right, is STAR !!

STAR and COMSO are STEVEN'S human and gem halves respectively. they have a brother-like relationship and always want to be in each other's company. they try to always be in physical contact (hand holding, leaning on each other, hugging, etc) for STAR'S safety and COSMO'S comfort.

COSMO is the brighter of the two (get it :3)!! he is very naive and that makes him more optimistic than his human. COSMO, or COS as STAR calls him, loves eating, sleeping, learning new things, or other very human activities, he has amnesia due to being rejuvenated during the whole spinel incident, so he is re-learning how to really live, to be human. he's definitely a clinger, always wanting to have his other half within arm's reach (such a snuggle bug). he dislikes, being alone for too long, large groups of people(bro spent most of his life alone in the fusionscape), and loud noises.

STAR is STEVEN's human half (do not call him STEVEN he will cry)!!! he is the lower energy one of the pair (consequences of STEVEN not sleeping enough), always using to slump over on. while fused, he is usually the "driver" and unfused he is the voice of reason between the two. He acts pretty similarly to how STEVEN was during the second half of future (more subdued/cynical). he enjoys naps, lazy nights with COMOS or CONNIE, and listening to other people yap (COS is a big yapper). He dislikes, too much physical activity, the diamonds, being compared to STEVEN, and being alone (he would probably die).

⇢ ˗ˏˋ AU LIST !! ࿐ྂ

so, you remember how earlier it was stated that STAR and COS were gonna be visiting a whole bunch of AU's? well, here's the overgrowing list of AU's they will be visiting !!

band!au - solarstars

dreamcore!au - playhouse

evil!au - shattered

AND NOW.... FOR A SPECIAL 3RD ANNIVERSARY UPDATE. (6/1/2024)

Hello friends, hello mutuals, hello dimension dyfenders fans and hello people who like indie cartoon/comic stuff in general! Comet here. Once Again. and this time i've got something ig this year. This was supposed to release on May 29th, but due to Ren not coming back for a long time because they needed to prioritize irl stuff, of course, we had to delay it.

But, but, BUT! thankfully I had a few things ready after all, however as for some other things else, we'll get to it much later, when the moment calls. Now, let's get off with the first one.

(warning, in case this update gets too long, i'll make a part two where i'll be able to link it through here.)

You Kinda... Look Different.

You may have noticed that Dislexo looks a bit different than usual (darker skin, a bit of shorter hair, etc.), in case you're wondering why... Yeah, you're about to find out.

So, while I was thinking and drawing up some D.D related stuff, I was brainstorming a little by my lonesome. All of the sudden, as I was making a new render for a character, I was like... "Wait a minute... What if I give Dislexo a new look which is a mix between a secretary and a butler but keep it's elements from what made their design unique?" and So, the new and improved Dislexo was born!

Honestly i'm proud of what they look like now. I just hope i won't (or will) get to redesign ALL of the cast again so suddenly lol! Anyways, thats just a small change I made, nothing too big. Now, let's get on something else... which is...

Pocket Adventures' current status + how's minisode 1 coming along

You might be asking inside your minds, "i wonder when more of minisode 1 will drop", "where are the new parts?"- Well, i got the answer. It'll only come only when im completely finished. However i havent been working much on it aside from making a few pages a few months ago, but hopefully this summer i may get back to it and finish it all up if i can. The final script is 73% percent complete, as for the comic itself, let's just say its 58%. I promise you i'm taking my time with delivering everything i can for this minisode. However i might republish the minisode with the series' current artstyle if it ever comes out physically (or either when I'll have the time or energy to do it.) So, now, you may be wondering: "But Comet, what do we do while we wait." Well you're not gonna believe this.

No, it's not an extremely late april fools post! We got new stuff coming soon, recently i've been brainstorming some ideas for brand new content, and you know what? It came to me, HERE'S WHAT'S COMING!

MORE TOONIES COMING YOUR WAY!

THAT'S RIGHT, after months of hiatus, Toonies is coming back with more strips! This time, since summer's coming around, i'll try to post and make more of them and even schedule the finished ones! We got even more covers for it coming, but for now, here's one of them!

More comics are not only gonna explore more of the Dyfenders' and the Dajo Crew's everyday lives in-and-out of their superhero/Villain occupations, we are also going to focus on much more on other characters (at least some of them), and some will last for a few more pages longer! No arcs though, sorry. But hey, you're getting more wackiness as a treat! Now, i know i said this year is not gonna be big like the other two years we had, but...

NEW SPECIAL CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT!

THAT'S RIGHT! We're working on a new special to commemorate our three years! Thought it'd be a nice adiction to this year, we may not reveal the logo and it's title yet, but we can tell you what the sypnosis is about!

You're all invited to the biggest night in the Omniverse, right across it's stars, cosmos, galaxies and portals! Both the Dimension Dyfenders and the Dajo-Crew are crossing the red (or should we say, blue) carpet in this brand new 3-part special! Prince Dajo-Voo has a new plan on how to take over the gala, all while he tries to self-control himself from doing the same explosive incident he did back then. The Dyfenders may be having a great time at the gala, but rest assured, they'll be sure to keep a close eye on him. Here's to a Rift-errific and (hopefully) trouble-free gala!

As a bonus, when the production on all three parts are done, we'll be posting Toonies comics related to the special, which may feature a new character who will debut later on in Pocket Adventures! We don't know when it'll exactly be out, my guesses would be either summer, september or next May 2025. But rest assured, we'll be working on it, but we won't rush it out.

So... What's next?

Honestly, i can't really tell. But I can assure you i still have so may plans for this series, plans that will be put in action in the far-off future. What i really hope to do is to make animated shorts as well, not just Toonies strips, pocket adventures minisodes and comic dubs of it. Maybe if we'll ever make a backerkit or a kickstarter for it and get a budget, it might happen (along with more VAs joining in.) Speaking of VAs, in case you're a VA and you haven't auditioned yet, anytime is the right time! (this is still a test leap, but if it succeeds it may go further.)

but for now, we're sticking to comics, and then, if possible we'll get to comic dubs and so on.

That's all for now! I hope you're all looking forward to what's coming for this series. I'm sorry that it wasnt as big as the last years, but we promise that things will arrive when they can.

Happy (LATE) third anniversary, everybody!! Thanks for reading!

By the way, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!

[magic-is-something-we-create]

2023 recap + 2024 plans

i wrote 261,200 words in 2023; 172,500 of those for Whispers, 88,700 for Goddess-Touched!

i read 16 books to completion, beta'd for an additional 2, am currently reading 3, and got partway through 5 others before having to put them down.

i maintained my streaming schedule with only a handful of emergency-related exceptions, and drew, uh, a shit ton over the course of the year!

writing goals for 2024:

fix Echoseers (full stylistic rewrite, along with some plot tweaks)

finish the first draft of Goddess-Touched (and edit it hardcore as well)

work on as-yet-unnamed book 4 of tms

fix up Whispers with the added feedback of beta readers

start querying Whispers (i'll look into self publishing down the road if i don't end up finding an agent. the way my brain functions i must cling to the hope of not having to market it myself tooth and nail for the time being)

POTENTIALLY. if my brain fixates on it. write the script for The Lost so that i actually have something to work with to make the comic happen

one of my offline friends is starting to get into writing, and im hoping to help them through some of the early rough patches and potentially co-write a thing with them!!

i completely dropped the ball on the weekly writing updates so im gonna try and get back to that on wednesday. and potentially get back into the weekly ask games!

non-writing goals for 2024:

youtube. i want to make speedpaints and worldbuilding videos and shit. ive already made the basic animation stuff to have a lil sona to do the gesturing for me and i know how to make videos i just havent done it in a While

twitch!! i want to stream a bit more often because its fun and if i let myself branch out into video games as well as art itll be easier to do that. u might see me streaming in the evenings sometime soon. (psst im not streaming this weekend as im still doing a shit ton of holiday/social stuff but the weekend of the 13th ill be back to both patreon and twitch baybee)

SPEAKING OF i want to get my shit together enough to do like. monthly short story releases for my patrons/ko-fi members. early access, that is, so if i post one in january, it'll be posted here a month or two later for all to see/read

i want to read as many books as i did in 2023, if not more! im also considering adding book reviews/thoughts to youtube or patreon/ko-fi perks

my weekend hiatuses aren't going anywhere. having time where im not actively engaging with tumblr + don't feel obligated to do Anything online has done wonders for my mental health and i highly recommend it. focus mode on my phone and leechblock on desktop has helped so so so much

and that's all i'm sharing here!! i hope 2024 is a better year for all than the last <3

[prostocupoftea]

also just wanna give a quick update on my comic (for subs only so no tags, fell special)

It is now called "In 0s and 1s" ! code AND morality reference, hehe

First chapter is half finished! I know it seems like im doing sidequests right now, and, while i indeed am, totally did not account for artfight bc i didn't know about it, but i will still try to release it in this month! Still the same uncolored sketch-thingey version that will let me pump out like one chapter in 2 weeks (:

im gonna announce it when i have most of it fully done and it will come out soon after

Also im adding my comic characters to my artfight shortly so you have a chance to get a special thanks in my comic hehe <3

[real-total-drama-takes]

alriiiiight season 2 is over and im high off my ass so its time for me to give my updated extremely unnecessary opinions on the reboot cast woo (they did these guys so bad omg 💀)

scary girl - yea she's an acquired taste but idgaf i love this stupid bitch so much and the fact that she had a storyline with potential that ended up being a throwaway was so tragic

chase - he's there ig. i don't hate him as much as i did before but like he's so useless 😭 he was only there for comedic relief but it never landed. he had a few friendships and things that couldve been developed but otherwise he's literally nothing without emma. rip ig

millie - i cant stand this hoe omg. first ur lazy and useless asf in the challenge then you try to push your own teammate to basically his death like girl. cartoon or not ur foul for that. she got so lucky that damien forgave her bc me personally i would've pushed her ass off a bridge. she should be thanking bowie for making her time on screen in season one interesting enough that i could resist scratching out my eyes every time she showed up

emma - she was amazing in the first half of season 1 and made a comically steep decline in the second half of episode 7. season 2 obliterated this girl (we seeing a pattern here?) instead of, idk, rekindling her friendship with bowie or developing some sort of actual storyline for her since she was a fairly strong competitor, the writers drew straws and gave her the most horseshit episode arc they could think of 😭 and i mISS HER STUPID LITTLE WHITE GIRL DANCE WHY DID THEY GET RID OF IT

nichelle - lemme just say yall's expectation for her was way too high 🤭 her storyline peaked in episode 2 of the second season. like yeaa she came back and is suddenly really good at challenges as if we all wouldn't see it coming 😃 just like everyone else, she had potential but she somehow ended up being the most underwhelming character to come out of the reboot. watching her go down as soon as she did along with the hopes of virtually the entire fandom was quite comedic. and side note i wish her friendship with damien had more substance to it bc those two were great together

bowie - my everything. he was destined to be an early boot so he came and served cunt for 6 episodes instead and i love that for him. was i expecting him to get far? no. was i expecting him to leave so soon? no and i was thoroughly upset about it. but i love that he did the little gay wrist limp thing when he left. whats it called again. limp wrist?? fag hand?? idk i'll remember in the morning. him acting as a coach for wayne and raj in the finale was so perfect. i love that he knows that his bf and his bf's best friend are hilariously stupid and just rolls with it. and might i add that his comment to raj before he left about him telling everyone that his boyfriend was gonna be a millionaire was the PERFECT SETUP for raj to win the season but NAH the gays can never win sadly

axel - undeniably a disappointment. dont get me wrong i love her crazy ass and i love that they gave her a soft side to her with her liking art and poetry and stuff like that but the fact that her entire character past that is her sucking face with ripper for uncomfortable periods of time kinda sucked. like ripaxel wasn't terrible and i really like how they got together but from there it was just hard to watch. and somehow, out of the three canon het ships in the reboot, these two are the most functional, so that's something

ripper - he's tolerable to watch now, still quite disgusting, but tolerable. watching him desperately go after this girl was amusing and i won't even lie i was happy for him when he and axel finally got together, but it when downhill from there real quick 💀 and his elimination was such a lame ass cop-out by the writers. the double elim couldve been like a twist or smth but ig not 😭 by ep 7 i wanted them split apart just as much as everyone else but ripper's elim was so lazy

zee - not much to say here. funny soda man. he stayed longer than i expected but im not mad about it. he stayed long enough to make a storyline but not too long that he made me mad. and the fact that pretty much everyone on the island trusted him with a secret of some sort is kinda funny to me. funny soda man

mk - booooo tomato tomato tomato. ik yall will not admit it but she was nothing without her alliance/situationship with julia. i don't dislike her at all but all the potential she had after her elim in season 1 fizzled out halfway through season 2. her dynamic w julia was pretty cool but what else did she have besides that and theodore? nothing.

damien - my. fucking. god. THEY DID MY MAN SO OUTRAGEOUSLY BAD. like it pisses me off so bad 😭 damien should've been a finalist. no questions asked, but instead they decided to boot him in favor for two heteros whose storyline lasted THE ENTIRE SEASON. highway fucking robbery. he had a storyline. he had character relationships. he had a rivalry. he had it all. but the writers thought it would be fun to keep PRIYA over him. again, highway fucking robbery.

raj - my amazing baby son who can do no wrong. i was so upset that he just barely missed out on being a finalist but omg he was so great his entire run. he and wayne are just the right amount of stupid to be tolerable, even when the jokes dont land. and oh my god his little speech before he left had me so SAD. "we won't reach the end together, but we'll always be together in the end." IM SO UPSET i love he so much

priya - the fact that this paragraph wasn't 8 paragraphs ago pretty much sums up how i feel about her. she's fine. i like her a lot. bowie still should've won season 1, but if anyone im glad it was her. still, this was the perfect opportunity to priya to realize how her parents have been policing her life since birth but instead, they turn her into an indecisive lovestruck moron that basically took up the entire season. i was bored of the priyaleb storyline after maybe 3 or 4 episodes. but lucky me, i got to see 13 episodes of it instead 😃😃😃

julia - honestly not much to say here either. she is arguably the best player the show's ever had, but idk, my only gripe about her is that her entire thing is that she's a bitch to everyone except mk. maybe it's just me but i got bored after a while. maybe its bc the only storyline we had left by the end was priyaleb but the whole time i was like "congrats, you're a terrible person, can you do something else now?" 😭 idk maybe my expectations were too high. im just not feeling her as much as i did during season 1. the mullet will eat tho. she will make it work.

caleb - booooooooorrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnngggg. if a vanilla ice cream cone was a td character it would be caleb. he's super nice and hot asf but also annoyingly indecisive and way too easily manipulated. how are you gonna say that you know not to team up with julia then immediately do just that 😭 can we make it make sense plz. caleb is so extremely unremarkable that my thoughts for him have barely changed compared to season 1. glad he has a girl tho ig

wayne - i am so glad he won bc going into the final 4 things were looking grim 💀 but omg his little "overcoming his fears and growing as a person thing" in episode 12 was so good. and his whole team actually being there for him and not just to oppose someone else was incredible. watching them cheer for him while he had the stupid little smile on his face made my heart happy. love him so much

take this w a grain of salt bc i probably won't remember any of what i wrote in the next like two hours ok bye

[iru-doodles]

so uh,,,,guess im actually gonna do this-

let's see how far this goes, shalt we?

heres the first designs lol ill update them later

The Comic starts here

The Basics of the AU:

Since this is a separated!au, only mikey stayed with splinter here. The rest of the teetlez got lost sadly-

Leo- Leo ended up in the Hidden City somehow, but since he didn't really have any adults to go to, he pretty much raised himself on the streets.

He found a cloaking brooch once and made a human friend who I'm gonna call Mell for now. However, trusting her was a mistake as when he showed her that he was a turtle she kinda broke his cloaking brooch in front of the rest of the human kids and ~trauma~!(This also affects his relationship with April later on, and it takes him a lot longer to trust her than the others. Surprisingly this AU actually came about with the idea of Leo having a human friend lol.)

At 8, Hueso took pity on him and allowed him to start working, and at 10 he got himself a small apartment in a really sketchy part of town(Hueso did not know he was alone, only that he was homeless. The foster care system in the Hidden City needs work, so he didn't turn Leo in for that reason as well. He would've taken Leo in but Leo always escaped when he tried to offer.)

He met Usagi, his best friend(and crush but shhh) at 13 while working at Hueso's, and he starts to get over his trust issues yay!

The brothers find him when Leo's 14 at Hueso's!

Man that was longer than expected, aNYWAYS-

Donnie- He was raised by Big Mama in the Hotel lol. One of her workers found him in the sewers and Big Mama happened to be attached to that worker. Unfortunately he died so Big Mama took Donnie in but...she had no idea how to raise him so she pretty much neglected him til he was like 8. The tipping point was because Donnie got kidnapped so uh giving the bois more trauma yay :)

He meets Raph and Mikey when he's 11 and sneaks out to the surface and they bump into each other. Chaos occurs lol

Mikey- Splinter managed to keep him! After Splints lost the other turtles though, he panicked and confronted Draxum in the belief that it was his fault and he stole them back. The two started arguing really loud and Mikey started crying, so Splinter stopped yelling and tried to shush him. Drax is soft inside really so he and Splints become amicable as Mikey grows up. Splints teaches Mikey ninjocity, while Drax helps him keep his ninpo in check. Drax and Splints eventually get unofficially married lol.

Raph- Raph survived on the human streets until he was like 4 somehow, and then found the lair around 4 and a half I'd say? He becomes Mikey's imaginary friend for like a week until Draxum finds out. Him and Mikey are raised together after that :) He's super protective of Mikey once he learns about the twins being missing and even before.

April- Donnie met her while sneaking up to the surface at like 7 years old(he was a dumb little kid who thought he was invincible ok don't blame him lol). Big Mama was wary of her at first but soon adored her and trusted her(more than Donnie but don't let him know that)

im going to try and make a comic but since i'm very much a beginner artist with no formal training, please don't expect much lol :) love yall! <3
