Letter From my Future Self: An unfinished comic

//Tw: starvation/lack of food//

—ABRUPT END BC I NEVER FINISHED IT—

That’s the comic!! It was for Trauma’s TMNTober Day 3 “Starvation”

This is toward the end of the apocalypse, so food is scarce. Donnie had already eaten his meal but it was not nearly enough (hence why he is hungry in the first panel). Then Leo, the leader of the resistance who hasn’t eaten all day, sees Donnie hungry. Leo was so hungry… he’d been working all day… but he gets up, puts on a show, and gives Donnie his food. But that is his twin, of course Donnie saw through his twins self-sacrificial charade, and Donnie is furious. Leo lied to his FACE and expected him to go along with it!? Maybe Casey would fall for it, maybe he would accept the food, but that trick would NOT work on Donnie.

@gonnaworkonit and @jadetheblueartist bc both of y’all said you’d want to see it :D

First part

That was it. This turtle would not disrespect Big Mama. Frida lunged at him with nothing but rage.

Frida attacked him, tackling him to the ground. He quickly countered with robotic arms that came from his shell and grabbed for Frida. She batted them away while trying to keep this turtle down. He yelled something, but she couldn’t hear him. She couldn’t hear anything except his words over and over.

“…maybe she just dropped the kid like she dropped Papá.”

“Greetings from Cabin 11, I have come to inform you about how to correctly create a S’more”

Donnie will NOT tolerate any burnt marshmallows

(@tmnt-fandom-faimly-reunion)

Tello's all for the idea, loves the method you have goin on

Cabin 3 has a lil menace that will go for shits and giggles with the power of spite mans don't even like the burnt ones (they all go to Raph after tho)

The front cover is done!!! I would like to mention that this is highly inspired/referenced from This post by the amazing @bowandbrush

I’m going to go add this to the Masterpost now :D

[jadetheblueartist]

Sooooo I may have just re read most of the Tmnt Family Reunion stuff with Frida Tang and my boys…

This was a relatively quick doodle but I can’t stop thinking about their crossover dcsijncdwijncijcdwnijcwdncjhbwd

(This doodle isn’t necessarily related to that camp story I just really wanted to draw them both again hehe)

THIS. IS. SO. COOL!!!!!!

I’ll just be sitting and I’ll be reminded of that crossover and I’ll just get so happy dhdhhdhdhdhdhshdhfhdjllajsbbd I love how that went so so much

I can’t right now (and idk when I will be able to) but I so want to just draw the babies together again. Like i wanna figure out some random way that they’d be interacting again bc fhdhhdhskslskgkfkjdjd they’re my loves, my darlings, my sweetie piesssss

I really love this tho like the slash between them thing is just so fun and then with both of their ninpos and everything SHSHHAKFJDJDJJDHDJSJDJJDJDJD if you need me ill either be staring at this or rereading that story :)

[banana-pancake5]

Not participating in this but I just wanted to note, “I suffered alone.” Fits oh so well for the LFMFS prequel story :]

Oh and “Let me talk.” Is perfect for a scene I wanna write or draw for said prequel

dialogue prompts: three words

!!please credit/tag me if you use any! I'd love to see what you write!!

"Power breeds corruption."

"Come here, dumbass."

"Did you care?"

"Hey, it's fashion."

"I can't die."

"You love me?"

"Sir, you're dying."

"Yep, three masters."

"You ignored me."

"I'm very concerned."

"Come on, dance!"

"You were... lying."

"Shhhh, come here."

"Three more hours."

"I was yours."

"Everything ends, eventually."

"Cereal is soup."

"Can't you see?"

"I wanted everything."

"You didn't listen."

"Can I sit?"

"Let me talk."

"Woah, you're dead?"

"Hold onto this."

"She clouds judgement!"

"Don't love me."

"One more chance!"

"I suffered alone."

"Could we try?"

"She was mine."

"You. Are. Disposable."

I went back and read all my short DA fic ;---; You do not want to know how much coffee I was drinking that summer. It was all instant coffee too

[banana-pancake5]

Okay, now I don’t know a thing about this musical, but this line fits wonderfully with the LFMFS short story

“The blood on your hands is something you can’t loose, all you can choose is whose”

“Choose, someone’s got to die today, and you have got the finale say. You? Or your crew?”

Anyone got any ideas for the old man (LFMFS Don) early invasion? Like mid twenties-ish. And by ideas I mean character design ideas!

Little bit of description of Early invasion Don:

At this time in the invasion he is still his good ol dramatic self, overconfident in his abilities, yet he knows and has come to terms with reality of the apocalypse. He still has arm and right side of his face as well.

Also ref of current Don:

Emoji Dress-up! (TMNT Fandom Family Reunion Fashion Show event!)

Let's dress up this turtle emoji for the Fandom Family Reunion fashion show, shall we?

This is a turtle emoji! We're gonna call him Carl. Because he looks like a Carl, doesn't he? (I got him from HERE)

Carl feels like playing dress-up in honor of fashion week. What will Carl decide to wear as he struts his stuff down the runway?

And to start us all off, Carl's coming in hot dressed as a charred but totally adorable Smokey from the Sparky AU by @belleyellsaboutturtles! With a bonus Sparky, who seems to really dislike clothes. (Cabin 15)

Time for Carl to turn that smile upside down as he changes into the look of the incredibly cool Foot Captain from @v-albion's True Colors AU! And Carl strikes an unamused pose! (cabin 14)

Speaking of cool, Carl straps on some Citadel fashion as Mikhail from @chessman-protocol's Covert AU! (Cabin 14)

Carl's a big fan of sunglasses, so he makes sure to flash them as he walks down the runway as @karonkar's Fear's Embrace OC Marco in his usual apocalyptic style! (Cabin 13/Cabin 14 Counselor)

Carl really enjoys dressing up as @twignotstick's character Mikey/Scout! That smile charms us all. (Cabin 14)

And now our turtle emoji friend is making another drastic color choice, as he changes into It's A Complicated Equation Donnie by @leilanising! Look at that tail! (cabin 14)

After a quick jump into the shower to wash off that blue, Carl is back to take the fashion world by storm as the cheery Mikey from @justalittleobsessed's Move Along AU! Check out his stylish mask tails. What a fashion statement! :D (Cabin 15)

@banana-pancake5's Donnie has been through a lot in the Letter From My Future Self AU, but he keeps moving forward! Carl strikes a pose. (Cabin 11)

Fashion goes metaphysical as Carl takes a spin as the adorably tragic Leo (a.k.a. Spirit) from @wandering-ghost's Ghost of the Past AU! (Cabin 14)

Carl puts on some pink for @icequeenabby (and @bluefeather-tmnt)'s super cool OC Billie Hamato from Too Many Turtles! (cabin 9)

Time for Carl to take a walk on the wild side as Donju from the Good Genes, Thick Hides AU, the brainchild of cadoodledoodleydoo and languajix on the blog @clawsandpaws-creativearchive! (cabin 15)

Carl is rocking it as the awesome and very stylish Donnie from Starry TMNT by @just-another-tired-gay-artist! (Cabin 14)

@itzzaira's 2018 Mikey has been through a lot, so Carl bandages up his arms for this one, wishing Mikey good luck with healing up! (Cabin 10)

And last but not least, Carl makes another apocalyptic fashion choice as he takes on Mike from my Hold Every Memory AU! (An AU of Ghost in the Shell by Amevello Blue, which, as I always say, please check out if you haven't read it! Our buddy Carl is almost as big a fan as I am.) (Cabin 14, myself)

And with that, Carl changes back into his normal outfit to take a bow!

(And for anyone with an AU/OC character in here, enjoy your emojis! Use them wherever you'd like - discord, texting, etc! Have fun! If you would like anything tweaked let me know; I've kept all the original files and it's no problem at all to correct anything.)

@tmnt-fandom-family-reunion all cabins mentioned under the emojis, as well as in the tags below.

This is a slower version of this so you can actually see some of the details hahaha

The final part for The House of Glass! Everyone has a lot to figure out, but progress takes time. Follows from this. This was my first ever complete comic from start to finish, I hope you guys enjoyed the journey!

If you've enjoyed this comic, please consider donating to Aya Yasser, a 19 year old university student from the University of Palestine. She had to pause her studies due to attacks on Gaza. Her 55 year old father is ill and she is trying to evacuate him and her brothers.

You can find her blog @samaagaza

It's like two in the morning right now so I might be a bit incoherent, cw for discussions of racism, homophobia, biphobia, sinophobia and classism

I've really wanted to write Chang as someone who's made to be a perpetual outsider. As a Chinese person born in the UK I've always been made to feel like a foreigner no matter where I go - obviously I am a foreigner abroad but I'm also treated as such in the very country I was born and raised in. I think a lot of east Asian people can relate to being treated as a strange exotic foreigner first and a person second.

As a working class orphan he would probably have been treated as disposable by society at large too. As soon as he's rescued by Tintin in the Blue Lotus he immediately asks why Tintin bothered saving him, and in his letter to Tintin in Tintin in Tibet he writes that he's unworthy of his uncle's hopsitality. We don't get much from Chang as he doesn't make many appearances but it seems he's internalised strong feelings of a lack of self worth. Tintin may have been the first person to recognise his humanity since Chang's birth family passed.

Being queer is also very isolating at first. You're not born into a culture you can reference or make sense of your experiences initially, it's something you have to seek out. I wanted to explore learning to love yourself through others. We're all weird to some degree, we're all in this together!

I genuinely have no clue how I'd follow this up, I have ideas for future stories but I'm not sure what would follow directly from here!
