They disgust me.

Short explanation of their relationship: Dale and Lent are together mostly out of convenience. They are responsible for each other's success in their respective careers and depend on each other to maintain said success. They're not the most healthy relationship but they make it work. They used to love each other but since Dev was born, they've slowly fallen out of it and into resentment. Now they're stuck in a loveless marriage. They still care about each other and trust one another; they've just grown apart. No, they won't consider divorce.

Longer explanation below.

Their relationship hinges on its practicality and convenience. The fact that they genuinely enjoy each other's company is just a bonus. Ultimately, what it boils down to is that they're good for each other's careers and that they trust each other enough with said careers.

They're codependent in an unhealthy manner. It was Lent that connected Dale to the initial investors and business partners that would lead to the success of Dimmadome Global and eventually, to Dale's status as a billionaire. It was Dale who sponsored Lent's political career and paved the way for his rise to power. It was Lent who gave Dale the legal immunity to run his businesses unethically and took out his competition, and the one who brings in investors. It was Dale who marketed much of Lent's political campaigns.

Essentially, they depend heavily on one another to maintain their careers. Lent did this deliberately, making himself essential to the Dimmadome conglomerate, making it so that without him, the business would fall apart. On Dale's end, it was more of an accident that Lent was dependent on him, but he prefers it this way. He can't have his little money magnet fucking off now, can he?

They keep each other on a tight leash, keeping each other in line. That's literally why they got married; it's a contract ensuring they remain business partners, holding each other to their word. Here's an excerpt from my fanfic that I may or may not complete of their engagement.

~

“I don't care. Five years ago, you promised that you would help me conquer the world. All the world’s nations will be yours and all the world’s wealth will be mine. We made a deal. Don’t back out.”

Lent takes his hand. “Then marry me and make it so.”

Dale is taken aback. But he squeezes his hand and says, “Okay.”

This is just a legally binding union. It's just so they'll make sure to stay true to their words and nothing more. Just a contract. That's what Dale told himself.

~

Even with all of this, they genuinely care about each other. They're probably the most important people in each other's lives. They trust each other and have an emotional investment in each other. Lent is 90% of Dale's emotional stability, the other 10% being his boots.

Lent loves Dale. Or, well, he used to. Things just aren't the same as it used to be. Regardless, he's extremely loyal to Dale, willing to put his career and his life on the line to ensure Dale's success. He sees little separation between him and Dale. Dale's business is his business. Dale's life is his life. Dale's privacy is his privacy.

Because of this, he is both extremely caring and overbearing. He constantly tends to Dale's needs, making sure he's alright. He comforts him when he wakes up from a lemonade flavored nightmare, he listens to Dale and takes care of him. At the same time, he's incredibly invasive, constantly keeping tabs on Dale and what he's doing, butting in when something isn't going his way. While Dale is absent and distant, Lent is ever present and near suffocating, especially for Dale who values his privacy.

Dale does care about Lent, he trusts him deeply. It shows in the fact that he shares his wealth, his business, and his personal life with him. But he can't show affection in a way that's normal or healthy. He's very distant and cold. He's honest with Lent in a way he is with no one else, he does stuff for him that he wouldn't do for anyone else, but he's very rarely affectionate. During the times that he is, it's typically for an end goal, such as to get Lent to agree to something he probably wouldn't agree to. A lot of the time, he treats Lent more like an assistant than a spouse, giving him tasks similar to what we see him do to Dev in Founder's Day.

Lent knows this. Years of watching Dale and paying close attention to him, has allowed him to know him incredibly well. Dale also knows this and finds it unnerving, especially since it's not the same vise versa. Dale knows Lent pretty well, but not enough to predict his actions like Lent can. Though to be real, Dale is terrible at hiding his motives. It's not difficult to read him.

There are times when Dale is genuinely affectionate, but those times are few and far in between.

Instead of partaking in hobbies, the two of them spend most of their "bonding" time working together. They like the scheme and make plans on how to rake in more money, acquire more power. That's their thing; they scheme together. Lent writes out the plans and possibilities, Dale picks it apart and makes it feasible. And when they're done, they'd share a glass of whiskey before heading to bed.

They bicker a lot. They like to playfully argue and it often looks like an actual argument on the outside. The only ones who know if they're arguing for real or for fun is each other.

Like with many couples, having a child changed their relationship.

Dev being there did help them by forcing Lent to stop breathing down Dale's neck, and that forced Dale to stop depending almost solely on Lent to get investors and partnerships for his businesses. However, Lent came to resent Dale for his lack of care for Dev. He expected Dale not to spend much time with Dev, however, it surprised Lent just how much he seemed to avoid him, especially during Dev's first few years of life.

Dale came to resent Lent for being too busy with his job and caring for Dev to spend any time with him. Lent was next to Dale almost all the time, and now he's almost never with him. It was a relief not to have him there constantly. Despite that, Dale misses him, but he would never admit it. Lent had changed and Dale stayed the same.

There are times that Dale wishes him and Lent could be like what they used to be, when it was just the two of them building their corporate empire.

At the time of the show, they aren't in love anymore, if you can even call what they had as love. If they were anyone else, they would be divorced at this point. But they're not anyone else, they're Lent and Dale. They never even seriously considered it. Not only would it ruin both of their careers, but it would be inconvenient to do so.

It doesn't matter anyways, they don't hurt each other, they still need one another for each other's work. They're business partners, and that's what's important. Not love, not the life they've built together, but money and power. That's what they would say.

It's just harder to tolerate each other. They've grown apart. Maybe someday when Dev is older, they'll mend their relationship, they'll fix their marriage. But not today, not when there are more important things to worry about.

I hate them. I love them. I'm delusional about them.

Kirbtober Day 18: Mirror

Future Reflections

[beeshoesometimesdraws]

Was nobody gonna tell me that Solar spoke French? And apparently Eclipse though idk if that’s true because I haven’t been able to find a clip of that so far-

I saw a tiktok referring to Solar speaking French in the “Lunar SAVES Eclipse in VRCHAT” episode on laes and I thought they were joking but no. Solar did indeed speak French—according to some comments he said something along the lines of “how do I say this”

People were also saying that the va’s first language is French but I haven’t been able to find confirmation of that yet either so idk-

Here’s the clip if anybody wants to see it

btw if anybody knows wether Eclipse speaking French is actually true and if it is which episode it’s from then I would love to know-

(ALSO Captain/Vanta being French is now canon to the still-unnamed au because yes.)

Abbeyofcyn Colour in your style

Painting the lineart for this was really fun, and I really enjoyed doing it, even if I feel like I bit a bit more than I could chew at first, what with me wanting to do two different light sources XD

I also wanted to colour the lineart of this, however the results that I got aren't that good, so I'll be uploading two pieces, one without the lineart painted (the one I like more), and the one with the coloured lineart. Hope you like it everyone and @abbeyofcyn

Ok, now that the art is done, I have a lot to say about how I chose to color everything, but that could get long so I'll leave all of that under a read more, expand at your own risk XD

Allright, so first of all, a detail that I'm not sure many people will be able to catch in the first place. The flowers, I colored them in a specific way, because each of them represents a different person.

In here I added the flowers to represent each of the beings present on the art, Red for Raph, Light Blue for Leo, Purple for Donnie, Orange for Mickey, Dark blue for F!Leo, and finally Pink for the Krang; because the latest might not be present literally, but the sky and pink light clearly indicate that they're still a presence to be felt in the world.

In here we have the four turtles again, with the flowers being their respective colors. However, since all but one of them are cut, I chose to color them in what I believe the order they died in the bad future is. First is Raph, I doubt he'd let anyone die before him, so the single corner of a red petal goes to him, then Donnie goes next, hence why a petal and a bit of the center is the only thing that can be seen of him; and now we come to the first scene of the movie, which makes it so that Mikey is the next flower that's cut off, and finally Leo gets the only not cutt off flower, because he's still living here.

This are the last patch of flowers, and the reason why I colored them that way is because each of them represent a different person that's important for the turtles. The Green represent April's Ninpo, I wanted to add her and ther ninpo was the only way I could think of, and on the same vein, the white and black next to her are Splinter when he's on his Ninpo state at their final fight against Shredder. Below them there's the gray and sorta orange flowers, this time they both represent Splinter in his normal form, and yes I know I put him twice in there, he's their father, he deserves it XD

Finally there's the dark brown and gray flowers, these one represent Cassandra Jones and Cassey Junior, you can't argue that they end up being pretty important to the turtles, the first one helped them in the fight against Shredder, and the second one literally kickstarted the movie XD

Next thing to discuss is why I chose to have two different lightning sources and why they are what they are.

First is the Krang sky at the front, I chose this because I got inspired by this idea for the AU behind this lineart from Abbeyofcyn and wanted to continue said AU idea. My take and continuation is that even after the Magic Tie Portal that Mickey did to send Casey Jr. to the past exploded and send the Krang at the battlefield away (and considering how big the battlefield it was, it most likely killed or pushed away every single Krang at New York) and F!Leo got the Tots!Turtles, there were still enough living Krang around the world that are still ravaging the world, this time more out of spite than anything since they know the won and simply want to kick down a dead horse. F!Leo is going in that direction because he's aware that there are Krang still left, and the sad reality is that he can't shield the Tots!Turtles forever, but at least he should be able to train them and teach them everything he can, while also giving them the chance to have a childhood as well, similar to Casey Jr. but more chill.

F!Leo and Tots!Raph are the only ones facing the Krang light, and that's on purpose, the former because obviously he'll be the main force against the remnants of the Krang that are still on Earth, and the latter because no matter the form, Raph will always want to protect his siblings, and he ain't afraid to punch a few f them in the face to do so. Tots!Mikey meanwhile is in the backpack, being shielded from the Krang light, with it barely reaching him, and again, that's on purpose, everyone will want to protect him since he's the youngest, and the fact that he also will become the strongest Mystical Warrior the world will ever see again, and so F!Leo will try to teach him whatever he knows about Ninpo and the Mystic Powers, doing his best to shield him from the horrors of the Krang so that he can focus on learning Mystical Powers.

Tots!Leo and Tots!Donnie are giving their back to the Krang light, but that's not because they'll ignore the menace they represent, but rather because they're focusing on what's more important to them at the moment, for Tots!Leo is his twin brother and the shenanigans/drama he can get with him, while for Tots!Donnie is his curiosity and need to learn about the world around him (Also he's autistic and likes rocks, fight me XD). Leo here is shielding Donnie from the Krang's light, agan made on purpose, because he loves his twin too much and wants to protect him from the horrors, while also pulling his rope to bring him back to the present; Donnie meanwhile only has a little bit of Krang light on him, which is their looming threat that they represent for a great while, however they aren't the biggest thing occuping his mind, and thanks to his twin, he's able to not focus on them for a while to concentrate on more things that'll help everyone in the future; which brings me to...

The yellow light, which comes from the sun that's behind them, and considering how it's a yellow and not an orange one, the current time is morning and it's Dawn, the rise of a new day, new begginings and start for a new hope. It might seem like they're walking away from the light and into the Krang's side, however with this idea I had it's less that they're getting further away from the light, but rather bringing the light with them, illuminating everyone's path and pushing back against the Krang.

As you can see, everyone is bathed in the sun's light glow, however Tots!Donnie, Tots!Raph and Tots!Leo are the ones that are literally bathed in it, while F!Leo has his legs covered in it and Tots!Mikey only has sunlight on his head. Once again this is all on purpose, and I'll explain everyone's light position now :3

Tots!Raph, The sunlight is mostly on his shell, tail and arms, which is because he'll be in charge of protecting everyone's uture, and that sadly also means that he'll be bearing the heaviest burden out of his brothers, but that'll also means that when the burden is eventually lifted, he'll be the one that looks forwards the most.

F!Leo's future is uncertain, the sunlight covers only his legs completly because even if he's the guiding light of everyone's future, and no matter how much light he has on his back, shell, legs and arms; he's not covered in any of it beyond his role as a guide, so still uncertainty envelops him.

Tots!Mikey is literally being carried in a bag to the future, which again is because he's the youngest and the strongest mystical warior out of them, but he's also somewhat of a backup plan, his role will be less to guide anyone to the bright future and more ensure that no one gets left behind under the looming threat of the Krang, hence why he only has the sunlight on his face and he's not covered in it like his brothers.

Tots!Leo and Tots!donnie, the disaster twins, they both are encased in light because both of them will help create the brightest future as well, however Donnie is covering a half of Leo, not letting him be truly fully under the sunlight, and again, that's because while he protects his twin from the Krang, Leo is sacrificing part of his abilities to guide everyone else but his brother. Donnie meanwhile is literally encased in light, his face fully iluminated, and that's because with his smarts and creativity, he'll be the biggest reason that a brighter future will be created for Earth, his inventions carrying everyone towards it.

Finally, why I started with dry grass on the foreground and ended with green grass at the mountains on the horizon, and that's because even with their uncertain future, even though they are the guiding light that'll bring a new brighter future to the world, that doesn't mean that the world is at such a critical state that they literally can't be saved. There are still people out there, living in hiding, no matter how it seems from the start point, there's still life out there.

And that's all I wanted to say about how I painted it and why I did so, I had so much I wanted to say and, to anyone who bothers to read all of this, thanks for doing so, I put way too much thoughts into this ambitious for me painting, and I loved writing all of this down as well. See y'all in the future n.n

I think I’ll write this AU but idk

okay, hear me out, an EPIC AU that instead of Athena being Ody and Telemachus’ mentor it was Ares. This would lead to a more ruthless Ody, twisting the results of everything. I also would want to see a more rebellious Telemachus.

What did Dale do when he went into labor? Did he just keep grinding until he absolutely HAD to go to the hospital? 😭

Lmao he didn't even go to the hospital, that's how much he was grinding. He refused to take paternity leave and he refused to stop working, even though he really should've. He unknowingly labored for twelve hours and just kept going on that sigma grindset.

Dale is terribly out of touch with his body. He barely notices his bodily sensations, he's just like that. Compounded with the fact that he wasn't in much pain. He had the worst pregnancy ever but easiest birth ever. He didn't even know he was in labor until he was already pushing.

Dev was born in his home office while he was attending a DimmaZoom meeting with potential investors. Dale was only able to get halfway through the meeting because his nervous wreck of a husband forcibly turned off his laptop when Dale began to lose his composure.

Sigh, what a waste of time. Dev was inconveniencing his dad even before he was born.
