fanart for "the day the world broke" @saladmix on i think chapter... 18? i've been trying to catch up on like 10 chapters all at once tonight (but i took a break to doodle obviously) and they're all blending into one. i don't even know what chapter i'm on right now but i'm DEFINITELY NOT FINISHED WITH UP TO 28 SO NOBODY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CHAPTER 18-28 😭😭 anyway i don't think leo's clothes are accurate but i forgot what he's wearing because i started reading chapter 18 again after idk how long so i made something up

[rgbfall]

ok so, i really like The Day The World Broke by @saladmix, and I am so in love with the description of how the bell monsters sound, it gave me such a vivid sound in my brain, so I wanted to try and recreate it!

This first one is what they sound like from a distance (it's just wind chimes and wind sfx)

headphone listeners beware for this next one, but it's how I imagine them when much closer. it's not exactly the effect I wanted (i wanted louder and clearer bells), but i did scour youtube for a WHILE and sat through some incredibly crunchy change bell ringing, so this will have to do.

I’m probably completely and entirely wrong but I’ve had this theory about the day the world broke for weeks and now there are other mutant turtles so imma just spill.

So we know that the turtles had biological parents in dimension z, they were just too young or not fit to be parents so Splinter took them in from cps. But what if they weren’t the only kids? What if they had siblings and their mom just dropped them at a different place? Or didn’t get the chance to cause she got caught by their biological father?

This all stemmed from the one dream Leo had about living with his biological parents. It was so weird to me that Leo had these clear images of what his parents looked and acted like despite the fact that Raph admits in other chapters they didn’t remember anything but yelling and the playground they were abandoned at. While shredder could have made this up, how did create such a clear image into that reality. While he did create other dreams that didn’t happen directly to Leo, the Shredder still saw Riley through the scientists eyes and was in the police station lab and that one house they stayed in. He can clearly go through memories but Leo doesn’t have any of his biological parents or their house(unless it just wasn’t mentioned).

So here’s my theory. Shredder did see that memory just not through Leo. He saw it through one of the siblings that was stuck in the house with their abusive biological father. This would explain the vivid detail, the fears and memories provided in the dream.

The mutants in the cells may seem identical to the brothers but that’s just because they’re siblings(maybe perhaps Kirby, Venus, and/or the last ronin kids). These mutants are younger (like 15-13) so it makes sense that they are the secondaries to the older primaries. But how do they relate to the Shredder.

I’m not sure what it is about the brothers specific mutagenic dna but there has to be something significant there that I imagine is like a rare mutation within the mutants. But TCRI knows it’s them and specifically them. And they need whatever that weird property is to make a pocket dimension for … God knows why🤷. One problem with knowing their targets, they are minors and already are under watch from cps due to being abandoned as children. So you can imagine it’s a little harder to slip under that branch of the government noses.

But what a stroke of luck it would be that they manage to uncover the original house they were born into? What an easy backdoor it would be if, upon doing some further research, you find what appears to be biological siblings with very obscure medical records, a drugged mom, and a drunk dad? That would be insanely sad but great for TCRI know wouldn’t it?

Well in my theory they are that lucky and manage to successfully kidnap and contain all of for of them with barely anyone noticing. God that’s sick. And not cool sick like you are satanic sick.

Anywho so they go to make a pocket dimension, do whatever science shit they need to and stuff. But after a long and grueling experiment for both the anticipators for this project’s success and its subjects, they failed. No reaction other than physical and mental trauma on the mutant siblings and a messed up lab. Or so they think.

Little did those psychos know they just opened a big enough portal for shredder to crawl out of and into one of the siblings. After wandering around in that turtles body and mind for a little bit(a month) he realized that he can’t use this body to do anything and the kid has basically already given up in insane grief and shock(poor bb im so sorry but someone had to get the short end of the stick(im talking to the turtle)). Shredder finds a way to piggyback on something or someone hoping to cause chaos in the facility but accidentally gets shipped off to none other than Deer Creek.

As we know Steven didn’t receive the Shredder until after the failed phase but it seemed like he was obviously still in contact with a very much so still running TCRI. Even with TCRI on lock down during the invasion they probably had pretty recent shipments going back n forth right before this plan to create a pocket was put into effect. In one of these shipments is the lingering demon, the Shredder with a new toy to play with and a feast for the flesh and pain he will soon scavenge to find leading to his jump to poor Leo.

I am so sorry that this was so long and convoluted but I really wanted to get this idea out so I could stop obsessing over the possibility of it happening. @saladmix your fanfic is amazing and I am waiting with open arms for these new turtles to be properly introduced even if they are just mutant mayhem or directly clones cause that is badass too. If you sat to read through all of this I appreciate it.

I am so sorry, I forgot to update the word count and its been like almost a week lol

New chapter of The Day the World Broke is up! Welcome to 33, where everything is 100% fine!

IDK why tumblr doesn't want to do the fancy little link thing so alas I must hyperlink like the ancient ones of yore.

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

tdtwb nation how are we feeling

[padfootastic]

i just remembered that canonically, sirius got to godrics hollow after hagrid.

which means that after he had his godson taken away from him (bc lbr that’s exactly what hagrid and dumbledore’s orders basically did) then he went into the house and saw james and lily’s dead bodies alone. no buffer in the form of harry crying out for his parents or even the godfatherly instinct of making sure his kid is alright.

he was there, with his brother and friend’s cooking body, all alone. stewing in grief and pain and rage and guilt. ALONE.

do we even know how long he was there? for all we know, he could’ve been catatonic right there besides james all day.
