Happy Halloween!

[teenagenutant]

a bit more weird, wild, and less structurally stable than the 2-turtle fusions, here's bosch (raph+mikey+donnie) and machiavelli (leo+mikey+donnie)!

pure impulsive destructive excitement and 'what if your annoying little sibling was also the world's most acrobatic awful cat'

Did a lot of sketching today

(Procrastinating on the next Rise August drawing lol)

Just the tiniest insight into Velli’s backstory…

Draxum lost Frida in the divorce lol

Here have a thing I'm working on

------------------

"This is stupid."

Abigail was slowly being buried by groceries in the cart as Draxum shops. Her legs had, yet again, given out, and instead of just letting her have the dignity of sitting down somewhere until they woke back up, Draxum had picked her up simba-style, and plopped her in the cart as though she were a six-year-old.

It was humiliating.

But dang, was it fun.

------------------

The two rode through the grocery store, searching for any last-minute items they needed.

"Do you want any snacks?" Draxum asked as he strode along the chips and candy aisle.

"I thought you didn't approve of sugary fattening human confections," Abigail prompted.

"Nor do I appreciate these triangular artificially flavoured ground-corn abominations," he grunted, grabbing a bag or Doritos from the shelf and sneering at it. "But I am willing to put my pride aside and allow you to choose one of these items as a 'fun-time treat'."

Abigail laughed out loud when she heard him say it.

"Where did you hear that??"

"Michelangelo said that they were having a sleepover and you have been invited. He instructed me to help you find your 'fun-time treat'. His words, not mine. I don't even know what that entails."

Abigail rolled her eyes and looked along the shelves, trying to find something she'd enjoy. There was chocolate -- definitely not, her cat genes would cause her to puke and have a toxic reaction to it. Pass. She saw a bag of marshmallows. Hm, that looked interesting! She pointed.

"That, please."

"The whole bag?!" Draxum gawked. "That's enough to feed an army of mutants!"

"I can share it with the guys," she refuted. "Please??"

Draxum sighed and handed her the bag of sugary goodness.

"Fine. But don't come crying to me when -- Oof!"

The cart slammed into another grocery vehicle, the child in the trolley yelping softly as they collided, and the adult pushing it grunted in unison to the force.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" Draxum warned angrily.

"My apologies," the other adult said, raising his head after checking on the contents of his cart. "I was preoccupied..."

Draxum and Abigail's mouths dropped softly as they saw the adult of the opposing cart. His long and wooly unkempt hair, bound and braided. His long robes in a traditional Japanese style. His bony hands and magenta skin, his orange and red eyes, his cloven hooves. It was Draxum.... Another Draxum? A different one. Abigail was used to seeing them, what with all her interdimensional interactions earlier that year. She just didn't expect to see one here --

"I was preoccupied with my son," he explained, snapping the two out of their stupor.

Abby looked into the cart in front of her and saw a cheery little turtle pop up, laughing and giggling. He had light green skin, tons of freckles spotting his cheeks and beak under enormous and wonder-filled eyes. There were birthmarks on his arms and legs that almost looked like hearts...

"Are you okay, Velli?" the alternate Draxum asked, leaning over the cart to inspect the child.

"I'm good!" he giggled, crawling over to look at Abby in her cart. "How 'bout you?"

"...Fine," she whispered, wondering what universe these guys came from.

"Oh, good!" 'Velli' cheered. "That was kinda fun! Do you wanna be friends --"

"I'm afraid we don't have the time, son," alt. Drax said, pulling his cart back and redirecting it to go around. "We have to get back home soon. Huginn and Muninn will be worried."

"Awwww, okay," he mewed sadly. But he quickly raced to the back of the cart and leaned out to wave goodbye. "Buh-bye, new friend!! See ya!"

Abigail and Draxum exchanged a glance between them before shrugging it off and continuing their shopping.

What a weird interaction... Maybe they'd see each other again some day!

*VelCro duo answer*

Velli had never really experienced Halloween before. His dad always hated it because it was a primarily human institution, but the rest of the Yokai seemed to enjoy the holiday! Especially the Krillmonger family, who had so kindly taken him in after he'd lost his home.

Cronan Krillmonger, his best friend and now adopted brother, loved the celebration with a passion and had been planning all kinds of spooky stunts and pranks to pull on trick or treaters.

"Are you sure this is okay?" Velli asked, looking down at the mask he'd been handed. It was grotesque and malformed, with stitches crossing over it like a sewn-together rag doll. "This feels kinda... scary."

"That's the point!" Cronan rebutted. "Halloween is SUPPOSED to be scary!"

"But this feels mean."

"It's not mean, it's a joke!"

While the duo were arguing over it, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Cro grumbled, opening the door only to be faced with a ghoul -- pale-skinned and deathly, with skulls adorning their ring and chains wrapped around their body as their eyes burned with a lifeless and cold glow.

"TRICK OR TREAT," they growled, a sinister sneer crossing their face.

Cro screamed and jumped back. Velli cackled loudly as he watched his brother scramble away in shock.

"That was awesome!" he laughed, handing the costumed crusader the bowl of sweets. "I totally get the scary part now!!"

ROTTMNT OC's: VelCro duo!

Machiavelli (or Velli for short) is a mutant turtle boi!

Cronan is a shrimp Yokai!

They're just sillies

I don't have a story for or about them yet... I figure for now they'll just be my little character inserts to play around in other peep's AUs (similarly to how @littlemissartemisia's Misa does)

At least until i can find out a plot for em

I do however know their duo dynamic -- they're basically the angel and the devil on your shoulder. Velli is the innocent angel; always ready to support you and be a positive force for goodness! Cronan is the mischievous devil; head full of schemes and plots that will be equal parts adventurous and disastrous. Velli and Cronan are best friends, basically brothers, and always have each other's backs. Think Gumball and Dawrin!

The two characters were entirely inspired by these crochet doodads I got from a craft fair

@boots-with-the-fur-club Julia from Mama Bear AU does not stand a chance she will fall victim to their cutenessssssss

[phoebepheebsphibs]

Today felt like a "draw Velcro duo" kinda day

[phoebepheebsphibs]

I got a crochet turtle and shrimp from the craft fair today

I named turtle Machiavelli (or Velli for short) and the shrimp Kronos

And now I will find a way to turn them both into ROTTMNT OCs

Their duo name is VelCro
