took a break from working on my oneshot based on @tangledinink ‘s sorrywhatnowau to draw the scene i was stuck on. i’m in so deep i’m insane. anyway take “Leo v. Coffee Filters” (his shirt says menace to society but i realized it just looks like it says “MEN” which is hilarious)

augh

[writing-biting]

The TMWN fic is the thing keeping me alive at this point, so I doodled up a Leo (his design is just so PRETTY)

(okay fine all of the designs are so so so pretty. My favorite is easily Mikey, but if I draw more of them I'll probably draw donnie cause they're more in my comfort zone)

Mostly spoiler free but still spoilers ahead

SPOILERS FOR TEENAGE MUTANT WHAT NOW AU! I just wanted to show how far @tangledinink‘s story has come from start to now, with the first perspectives of Splinter of Chapter 1 and Chapter 17. Because I quickly caught first glance of the first couple paragraphs of Chapter 1 while going to read the newest one and WOW. The writing quality hasn’t changed one bit, but we’ve gone from 0 to 60. Wild. Love your story, man. Gets me every time there’s something new

Chapter 1:

“Did you drink all the milk AGAIN!? Dude!—“

“What?! You know I need an exact milk-to-rice-chex ratio in order to enjoy my breakfast, Leo!”

“Have any of you seen my dance bag? It’s not where I left it!”

“Why do you need it, anyway? Isn’t dance on Thursday?”

“Leo, today is Thursday.”

“What? No, it’s not. If it was Thursday, then my American Literature essay would be due, and I haven’t even started it yet, so there’s NO WAY—“

“If my toaster is destroyed, I will be making whichever child is responsible pay for the replacement!” The warning rang out over the general chaos of the morning.

“Oh shoot—“ Yoshi could hear the frantic scrabble of a belated attempt to rescue the burning pop tart, which Yoshi could smell from all the way in the living room. Parked in his reclining chair, the TV playing in front of him, he munched contentedly on his own breakfast which he had acquired earlier before his teenage sons descended upon the kitchen. He was not much of a ‘morning person,’ but it was a necessity if he was to eat in any sort of peace.

This was a typical morning in the Hamato household.

Chapter 17:

He actually had tried to throw himself over the balcony this time.

Not that it worked. Stupid witch ex-girlfriend and her stupid witch spells.

He had to get out of this goddamn Luxury Box.

Those were his children down there. He should be with them.

He tried everything. Every option he possibly had, he tried it. Pleading, threatening, physically attacking the guards-- thus far, none of it had worked. Of course it hadn’t. Part of him had known it wouldn’t, because Big Mama already knew this song-and-dance and she had never lost before. This was an old game to her. She had over a decade of experience in keeping him where he did not want to be.

If it were that simple to wriggle his way out of her trap, his life would be very different today.

He tried anyway.

All it had gotten him so far was this fuzzy spin to his head and a painful tingle in his nerves that was quite nearly nostalgic.

“Let me down,” he snarled, for the millionth time, clinging to the railings of the balcony so hard that his knuckles were white, absolutely bristling. “I should-- I should get to fight with them. Since when have you ever denied Lou Jitsu a performance? Let me--”

“Noodles, dearheart, that would make it too easy!” She scoffed, tsking a bit, having long since lost interest in anything he had to say. “It’s no fun if it’s not a challenge. But don’t fret, huggypoo. You can still watch. Come on-- sit with me.”

mikey's thirteenth birthday

i'm sorry, teenage mutant what now?

[tangledinink]

EEEEEEEEEEEE

i love them, your honor!?!? theyre so different, and their experiences and circumstances are so different, and yet,,, they are,,, so the same,,, honestly meeting the gmnt gng would probably drag up so much past trauma and emotions for yoshi,,,

sorry teenage mutant what now au by @tangledinink <3 + bonus splinter n yoshi discussion (also EXPECT MORE OF THIS cause there's more.)

quick doodle while I'm reading sorrywhatnow ITS SO GOOD !!!!! It's so good . Also some quick rambling abt whatnow and gmnt under the cut maybe

OKS O !

Keep in mind I'm only on like ch 2 atp so be patient with me

The main thing that rlly sticks out to me with these 2 aus is how different they are in just kinda like - everything. Ok more specifically is the difference in their everyday lives and what's "normal" to them . because even tho the gmnt boys are fully human they live a much less normal life than the whatnow guys specifically because of the circumstances in both their stories. In gmnt they've pretty much been on the run their whole lives going from house to house city to city and sometimes even state to state, and because they had to go pretty much Completely Off The Grid they never even had a chance for school. While in whatnow giving his sons a normal life was one of splinters biggest priorities and oh my GOD I could probably go on forever about this but I don't have the brain capacity rn which is so disappointing. Like - cosmetically they seem very similar but the actual mechanics and storylines and plot of both diverge and also connect in many different places and I think in terms of a crossover it would be a Very interesting point of discussion for each of the characters.
