OH OH for Gemini AU what’s the boys’ relationship with Big Mama’s staff? New employees who have just gotten into the gig and met the boss’s kids and old employees who have been there for years? Do they get along with any of them? Some? None? I just think it’s neat because there are so many people who work for Big Mama, and in the show we don’t see too many details about her staff

Also what do the twins think of the audience? I think you’ve mentioned their idea of being famous and getting attention before but I would love to hear more of your thoughts about their relationship with the Nexus audience :)

Oh what a fun question. A lot of the older/senior employees have known the twins since they were little hold at least SOME degree of affection for them. They maybe be horrendous brats, but they're still sweet kids overall, and it's hard not to get at least a little attached. Even if they are frequently exasperated with them...

There were certainly staff members who knew Leo and Donnie since they were young and took protest with how they were treated and/or their Battle Nexus careers. It was always difficult for Leo and Donnie when beloved staff members, (particularly tutors or nannies) would suddenly 'quit' without warning.

Newer staff members typically haven't had a chance to build a bond with the Twins the way more senior staff members have, but they also didn't have to live through Leo and Donnie's early childhoods, where they truly just ran wild through the hotel. Nowadays Leo and Donnie are overall cordial and respectful to staff, and try to make it a point to learn any full-timers names, especially if they brush shoulders with them regularly... but they can still be absolute nightmares when they wanna be.

Staff Members that they are particularly close with/fond of include the doorman Reynard, the sous-chef Annabelle, the housekeeper Maisie, their tutor Kassio, and their coach Tigerclaw.

The Gemini have a love-hate relationship with "The Audience." On one hand, the Audience is success. Cheering fans mean they did good. Eyes on them is the goal; they are celebrities, they are famous, and if they fill stadiums, then they are doing something right. They are giving Mama what she wants and that means life is gonna be good. They depend a lot on "The Audience" for their own sense of value. If there are no cheering fans, how can they know if they're doing a good job or not? On the other hand, the Audience is expectations. If they're in front of The Audience that means they have to be on. That means they can't fuck up. They have to be celebrities, they have to fill their 'role' and play the part that's been set for them and they cannot mess up or flub their lines. They know better. Being in front of The Audience means the pressure is on.

They want the Audience. They need the Audience. When they're not in front of The Audience, they miss it. But when they are, they're exhausted by it and they want out. It's an endless cycle.

If you asked them, they'd say something along the lines of "loving their fans" and "appreciating their support," or some other script that was fed to them a long time ago that they've long since perfected, and they'd probably think that they meant it.

LIGHTS OUT

Ever since Usagi's village was attacked by Shredder (aka Hamato Yoshi), he has been afraid of the dark. He takes vengeance for his village and family by hunting down and killing Hamato Yoshi. After this, Usagi is held prisoner by the Hamato Clan once they discover his involvement in Splinter's death. Leo continuously visits Usagi in his dark cell and uses psychological torture to make Usagi pay for what he did to Splinter

Now that 2024 has come to a close:

1) Of everything you've made this past year, which ones are you the most proud of?

2) What are a few of your favorite things (art, comics, fics, etc) that someone else has made this past year?

1) I’m most proud of these pieces. I had low expectations but they turned out really well and are a couple of my favorites

I’m also really proud of the art trade I did with @2aceofspades . It was super fun and we knocked out 3 drawing which was awesome. These were mine <3

You can check out the full post here

I also really loved doing the DTIYS I hosted in summer

Everyone’s submissions were amazing and they made me really happy. If anybody wants to check out the other submissions, they’re under the somniDTIYS tag!

I'm also really proud of how the EMD finale chapters turned out and the progress I'm making on the Devil's Eye au. You can read the EMD chapters here and the introductory post for the Devil's Eye here

The darkside au is another project I really enjoyed creating with Teaa and Ace. The blog is @risedarksideau if anybody wants to learn what it's about

2) the obvious answer is all the fanart we’ve gotten for EMD this year. Teaa and I both really appreciate and adore receiving art for the au and even just seeing your guys’ reactions in the tags and comments. ALSO @teaableu’s animatic for the EMD finale!! It was insane and everyone should check it out if you havent. Link

The separated council's mass collab was also a super fun post to see. Everyone did an amazing job! unrelated to EMD, I really enjoyed reading @cokoweee's kendratello comic. @chessman-protocol's covert au was another fun 2024 discovery. I also enjoyed seeing @pasteilian, @djpachipikachu, @quartergremlin, @xinrouska, @choiyw051108, and @andysuriano's art pop on my dashboard and learning more about @reagi-df's different aus @klunkcat's The Other Side of Paradise amv is worth mentioning bc it made me sad/pos I'm a sucker for angsty amvs so this is automatically one of my favorite things

I discovered @office-anomaly's blog. Tuheir scooby-doo fanart is so good! Kudos, I love ur art

I also discovered some fun communities closer to the end of the year, mainly Frogblr, where people just post pictures of frogs and it makes me so smiley

Lastly @intotheelliwoods's secret santa gift basically wrapped up the whole year for me in a nice little bow. THANK YOU ELL I HAVE THIS AS MY WALLPAPER SO I CAN LOOK AT IT EVERY DAY <3 <3 <3
