The Legacy of Genius Built Industries: Exclusive Interview with Othello Von Ryan

transcript and process under the cut

Year after year, Genius Built Industries captures the world's attention as they roll out neigh-fantastical devices and systems dedicated to making all our lives a little bit better.

This time, instead of an industry-shaking tech development, the thing that has eyes turning towards GBI is a personal change: the first public appearance of real-life giant and part-time superhero Othello Von Ryan's children.

I've been invited back into Von Ryan's lab for and exclusive interview with their small family.

Von Ryan's personal lab is just as i remember it - perfectly organized and violently purple - but now it's a little more crowded.

For now, Von Ryan has put away the projects to give their attention to their equally purple children.

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. - just as tall as Von Ryan themself - leans away from his insistent parent, armed with a spray bottle and a cloth and attempting to wipe down the screen that makes up the bottom half of his face. On Von Ryan's other side, P.S.D.D. kicks zir legs and laughs at zir brother.

This doesn't last long, as zir eye is next. When they're done, both teens are shiny and irritated.

And yes, Othello Von Ryan's children do - to the best of my knowledge - seem to be hyper-intelligent robots.

Johnson:

I know you hate beating around the bush, so I'm just going to say it: your kids are androids.

Othello Von Ryan:

Friendly laugh. It would seem so.

J:

You must admit, it's a little surprising, especially considering your previous comments on artificial intelligence. That, and your history of forging your own path against the usual hype-based trends of the tech industry.

(S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. and P.S.D.D. both seem to cringe at the comparison. Von Ryan quite literally turns their nose up.)

OVR:

Scoff! My children are nothing like what my competitors would call "artificial intelligence"! Their version is nothing more than an overhyped word scrambler with illusions of grandeur! A parrot residing within a thin-walled apartment complex could do a better job.

Additionally, I created Shelly and D.D. when I was in my teens. The "tech industry" is stuck chasing my tail, as always.

J:

Really? That long ago? A.I. as we know it today was only just gaining popularity! Why not re-create a version for the consumer market?

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.:

We were accidents.

OVR:

(Very clearly embarrassed)

No, that doesn't sound like me.

S:

I was a glorified roomba, Pops.

OVR:

You could do much more than a mere roomba!

P.S.D.D:

I was a bed!

Weird rottmnt and dc crossover idea 1

Ok so i haven’t seen meany of these and i think that's a shame so in this one the justice league doesn’t know the real ages of the turtles and they are only really slightly connected to them, they have there contact info just in case but that’s about it. Through the grapevine they here that one of them has children. Recently young justice or teen titans was founded and they are looking for more recruits. A drone a bed and a (reformed) animatronic bear walk into mt justice/the other one enter shenanigans

[percyaugod]

This is what I meant with the racecar thing. Forgot to put the reasons I chose each turtle. Even if some were just flimsy or barely had any there were reasons.

To make it fun and more challenging I wanted one turtle from each dimension, but never repeated the turtle. There had to be at least one type of connection.

87 Leo being Raph:

A. Trench coat. I had to pick an 87 turtle for that alone.

B. The way Raph reacts to Mrs. Cuddles reminds me of 87 Leo and his fear of snakes.

C. Would see him being the leader as the natural option even though Leo as the leader would also make sense to him.

D. The catchphrases. While not as often as in the crossovers (Turtles Forever why did you do my 87 boys dirty like that?) he does have the "Turtles fight with honor" and "Turtle power".

E. It did amuse me how much he seemed to like being "violent" in the 2012 crossover episode. It also fits well with Rise Raph who likes to smash things.

Bayverse Donnie being Mikey:

A. Trying to get Raph to let him do things/giving him a heart attack. Bayverse Donnie asking to be let be the badass for once and jumping out a plane, Rise Mikey's wanting to go on his first solo mission.

B. Big turtle being a small turtle is hilarious to me.

C. Dr. Feelings. He's a smart turtle still, even if it's not being used for tech or science. I fully believe he's an actual Doctor and is still essential to his family's functioning. Him wearing glasses.

12 Raph being Donnie:

A. Training animals.

B. Emotionally adopting things. 12 Raph with Spike/Slash and Chompy, and Rise Donnie with Shelldon and the PSDD from the sentient bed mini-episode.

C. Violence is the answer.

Extras I realized later:

D. Purple turtle son with fire! (Let's not ignore Shelldon sounding like 12 Mikey either)

E. Rise Donnie talking to Rise Splinter and mentioning if he was a tiger. Very specific animal for that voice.

F. Rise Donnie believes in Big Foot, who is not only real in the 12 universe, but Raph has met. Also that pizza with a face is a thing in the 12 series.

G. Looking at 12 Mona, I say "cute but mean" type.

H. Some of this implies that Rise Donnie either remembers some of who he used to be, who he really is, or follows his instincts a lot more than we thought and they're telling him things like "this is right" or " this is supposed to be this way".

03 Mikey being Leo:

A. Since Rise Donnie is a Raph and Leo likes messing with him, he's required by law to be a Mikey

B Battle Nexus Champion.

C. The number of crimes 03 Mikey has committed and Rise Leo having a wanted poster.

Extras I realized later:

D. Lose their arm in an apocalypse scenario.

E. Ends up going over the side of a building and is saved by a Raph.

Me: I am going to work on Single Dads and Fake Marriage AUs

Evil Me: oh so we're making fankids?

Me: what? NO! I'm finishing FM AU art wips and either ch 2 or a one shot for SD!

Evil: gotcha, timeline for Usatello Single Dads AU, research yokai, amphibians and birds of Japan, rabbit breeds and size of litter to roll die on how many kids the couples will have, look up kanji for names...

Me: no, No, NOOOOOOOOOO

This image contains the Usatello kids planning but the back of the papers has TomoSagiMariKen kid plannings and Next Gen AU stuff

I used a dice roller and random name picker to choose how many kids, what bio parents(for UY Fake Marriage AU), what gender, species the kids are, then for their names

Fake Marriage AU;

TomoSagi Kid, either a cat or rabbit, leaning towards cat, son, either has fur pattern/coloring like Swiss Fox or Tan Rabbit, Swiss Fox because i made Tomoe a Somali Cat which are called Fox Cats sometimes and Tan because of Tomoe's pretty fur colors.

MariKen Kids, plural, son and daughter, hija has Kenichi head, eyes, and ears, Mariko hair, eye shape and nose. Hijo has Kenichi eye shape, nose, chin, Mariko's face, ears and eyes. Haven't decided which kid yet but one will have Himalayan or Californian fur pattern and the other piebald/broken fur pattern

Oh I should also mention that my evil genius brain had me researching Renaissance artists and artists of art movements that came after the Renaissance AND Surrealism because Frida Kahlo was considered part of that art movement and there was word that the Rise!Turtles missing sister would have had that name

Usatello Single Dads AU

Waffling between artist names, Japanese names, or flower names(Usagi likes nature and Donnie has a passion for botany; still has a theme to follow but it isn't artist name this time)

Random name picker rmy beloved/beloathd

So I always had plans for turtle/rabbit hybrid because heheh fusion go brrr, particularly a daughter that's named after Inazuma's 'dead' name Tomiko

And then I saw @/quartergremlin had the galaxy brain idea of including PSDD as one of Donnie's kids and redesigning it so I rolled a die for how many kids, then put in all bio, all adoptees, psdd and bio, psdd and adoptees

P.S.D.D and adoptees won, so then I went to yokai.com to see what they got to get the ideas flowing, put birds I was thinking of making ocs with and basing Rise! Karasu-tengu off of

Ended up with a hane-no-haeta kappa kid and a Daruma Pond Frog kid, adopted son and daughter respectively

Usagi came across the kappa boy on one of his misadventures and Donnie came across the frog girl in the Hidden City

P.S.D.D uses ve/vir/vis pronouns (because it sounds a lil like virus which ve finds hilarious)

D.D.'s design is based off of Don's fantasy mech from Down With The Sickness and tmnt 2012&2003 Fugitoid

But then I got attached to the flower names, especially the poisonous ones so Middle Name Time!!!

Tomiko Amaryllis Hamato-Miyamoto (iiii don't think amaryllis were in my poisonous list but they were in my Victorian era/hanakotoba flower language list I think)

Shigeru Larkspur Hamato-Miyamoto (the kappa child, Shigeru is made up of either the kanji for Rabbit[ie Usagi] or lapis lazuli and something else i can't remember off the top of my head)

{Mountain} Laurel Koyuki Hamato-Miyamoto (Donnie named her because He's Extra, and she didn't have a name as an orphan street rat, lil iffy about her middle name, thinking of keeping the flower middle name thing but Shelldon/P.S.D.D/Jotaro dont have one and her name is ks already a flower sooooo...)

D.D. and Tomiko have already been designed and have color palettes everyone else is still in the works...

[quartergremlin]

this one's for you @sbf-orouborus ✌

there may have been a misunderstanding in the beginning about the origins of The Egg.

part 1

[quartergremlin]

Shelldon inherited Donnie's need for validation. PSDD inherited their need to protect its family bloodlust.

first/prev/next

transcript:

PSDD:

Father. I have decided that tomorrow I will be accompanying you to your office lab.

Donnie:

Are you now?

P:

Yes! Since SHELLDON "let the cat out of the bag" there's no reason for me to not go! (I have the paperwork to prove it.)

I am far more optimized for security and risk assessment than SHELLDON, and unlike you two I am unimpressed by most humans, so I can accurately evaluate their threat levels!

I can finally do an in-depth assessment of your public work environment and vet your employees firsthand!

Security! Contingencies! Exit strategy!

[quartergremlin]

annoying.

first/prev

[quartergremlin]

gregnent teetlz?!?!

preggers?!

[quartergremlin]

okay, so maaaybe it wasn't exactly an accident.

prev/next

transcript:

PSDD:

Shelldon, why are you printing out the emergency NDAs.

SHELLDON:

Dont worry about it PSDD. I'm just making a delivery.

P:

Because that doesn't sound suspicious.

S:

Maybe it's time to actually find them now.

[quartergremlin]

theyre cute, okay! parent-kid bonding time.

[quartergremlin]

Do you think P.S.D.D. would share their papa's fobia of beach balls?

yeah sure! why not

[quartergremlin]

i designed psdd (from the short "Sentient Bed") today (and a turtle-oid shelldon while i was on a roll), and was inspired to do something with them immediately. Zir "shoes" are filled with jelly and sparkles, like those shoes.

[quartergremlin]

did you ever expect to have "Jesus egg" as one of your more popular tags

god no, mot evem whem i made the first egg comic.

most people hate child ocs (and i wasn't particularly interested either), so I never planned on making lena a character. This was just an ask that ballooned out of control. seriously. Every single part of jesus egg except for "baby fever" happened directly because of you guys. Yall kept asking questions and loving her and making me want to love and know more about her too! So uh. Thank you!

[quartergremlin]

For the art meme what about Donnie in B-1?

theyre getting ready for a family photoshoot <3

[quartergremlin]

put these together avout the hamato kids (so far) during a break

[quartergremlin]

I feel so unbelievably bad for Donnie and his robo kids now like I’m going to legit cry

i have several unorganized thoughts about splinter as a grandparent to donnie's unconventional children, mostly boiling down to: he means well.

I was nicer about it in the "Splinter finds out about The Eggs" comic, but I lean more towards the belief that he was a B-plus parent at best (even if he's doing better now) so Donnie's reaction wasn't totally unfounded.
