i dont know if anyone from not here is awake but .... yesterday i had the idea to perhaps bind the champions 2.0 abilities to the inventory/weapons

(totk rewrite "botw2")

so, for example, yunobos would be tied to a permanent two handed weapon (his signature weapon for example) in your inventory that doesnt break and doesnt need repairing (considering my craft and repair system otherwise) but instead needs recharging to recast the ability somwhat like when the master sword looses its power, but instead it just deals the base or reduced weapons damage (perhaps using the ability function via the throwing mechanic, like the MS swordbeams? or a different way to control it when using that speciffic weapon)

teba/tulins would be either a magic bow or arrow that similarly doesnt break/run out (unsure whether arrow or bow is better)

sidons water shield + heal would be tied to a shield

rijus would be tied to the hookshot, when aiming it thered be a button prompt to switch to send the lightning instead, thought to tie it to this bc i wanted it to be aimable similar to the hookshot and combining them saves you from making yet another aiming system and menu

the idea was that i could also use the tie to a weapon as an explanation for how they give it to you without repeating botw but worse (since in botw they are ghosts of the dead and a spirit knowing how to give an abilitiy tied to their spirit to you is more sensical than your childhood friend that didnt even have an ability at all even after a hundred years time last game suddendly not only mastering one but also somehow knowing how to give it to you within .. 5?) the explanation being that the weapon has been charged with their magic over the course of using it for so long or doing so during the dungeon

(like in yunos case, he was the only one that actually had the ability in botw, he always used a .. stone breaker weapon thing, and he gifts it to you at the end; teba/tulin would discover charging their arrows with magic during it and give you the bow at the end (perhaps them having to pull on the same bow to shoot it during a miniboss fight in the dungeon makes it charged with it); sidon would use your shield to channel his magic in a way to make it useful for you and since hes still new to using it, perhaps he gives you the permanent one at the start of the dungeon bc its the one hes been practising it with and at the end gifts it to you since its charged with it (if you leave the dungeon before beating it hed want it back sicne .. its his practice tool); riju charges your shiekah arm with lighting, like overcharging a device just before it breaks, perhaps discovered accidentally during her dungeon ? so we have a variety and not all work the same ... and overcharging bricks your arm for a short time lol)

the possible downside of this is the menuing, but you dont really have to use all of them all the time (maybe longer cooldown but more powerful anyway just like in botw- also each permanent weapon would be the first in the row) and .. anythign is better than those god awful sage ghost controls of canon totk imo lol

other idea would be that its NOT tied to a specific weapon, but just to the category in general, so when you got a shield out you get an extra button prompt to activate sidons ability (very similar to botws system but giving you the control of activating it or not) BUT that has the issue of lacking the explanation on how they give it to you and the downside of not having anything permanent, and while i like my reworked weapon system, also givign players a permanent thing even if not very powerful sounds kinda right to mitigate those complaints without destroying the system outright

Something about Joel wanting to help break Jimmy’s curse in Limited Life, but just missed the opportunity-

And Lizzie accidentally breaking Jimmy’s curse in Secret Life when she fell into the void-

And how all three are going down in SOS, graves side by side, the three timers over their graves ticking down each second in unison-

Knowing and accepting that no one will revive them. The canary is no longer alone.

alright well i can hear my dad getting ready for work so i’m gonna go to sleep. 🤡. enjoy the final part of the baby will fic!!!

[baskeigh-ball]

this might be a stupid question but, what exactly did Splinter do to the MM!trio? you’ve mentioned in both Don and Leo’s redesigns (both of which look awesome btw) how they feel about his ‘past actions’

is it just referring to his neglect, or did something else happen?

sorry again if this is a dumb question, or if you’ve already answered this. im just confused jsjabjs

No worries, I've been vague-posting about it and never really explained so you're definitely not alone lol, explanation under the cut as usual (warning, it's a bit long)

So I'm very interested in the headcanon that Splinter went through depressive episodes while trying to raise the turtles, and as a result neglected them by being emotionally absent, which could be technically canon based off how they characterized him in early episodes and various bits of dialogue?

I don't wanna jump the gun and say it's true to the show but there's hints here and there that he wasn't the most emotionally present parent (the fact Donnie has never had positive reinforcement from an adult and never spends time with Splinter, the fact Leo assumes he's the least favorite, Raph's entire conflict in the season 2 finale being burdened with too much responsibility, Mikey basically being the family therapist in place of, oh idk a parental figure, etc). Anyways, canon or not it's a legitimate thing in this AU.

Once the trio was old enough to look after themselves, Splinter fully fell into his depression and barely did anything around the lair. He would go days without leaving his room, not eating or doing anything, practically comatose in bed. His depression definitely wasn't helped with the way he lost Raph right after escaping Draxum's lab. I said it once, I'll say it again: survivor's guilt is a bitch

But the longest (and last) time he ever did so was when the turtles were 9-10 (Mikey 9, the twins 10). He completely isolated himself and left them to survive on their own for two weeks. Which doesn't sound that long, but it wasn't like they had two weeks' worth of food stocked up, not to mention the necessary upkeep around the lair. Leo and Donnie made it work, all while doing their best to keep Mikey happy, but it really took a toll on their trust in Splinter. After that, Splinter slowly made a recovery and has spent years doing his best to make it up to them. Leo appreciates it, Mikey acknowledges it, Donnie ignores it. But even now, nobody has yet to actually discuss the incident beyond surface-level apologies.

All in all, the fam is Not Okay but refuses to acknowledge it. I don't wanna get into too many details though, because a bunch of this stuff is gonna be talked about in either the fic or comic parts as they come out. Hope this cleared up any confusion :]

Thank you so much for your support; I really hope people will enjoy the Demo once it's finished and available!

[emry-stars-art]

Hi, I'm a huge fan of ur Royal au and ik u said u weren't going 2 actually wright a fuc abt it originaly but I was wondering if that had changed lately or if u might change ur mind due 2 ask the work uve put in? I really love this au and think uve done a fantastic job

1) thank you SO much I’m just so happy people are appreciating it 🥰🥹

2) i still have not starting writing a full fic, but I AM invested in reorganizing the timeline and adding in ideas I’ve gotten since to see how close we might be to actually getting a full fic! If/when it is all done it’ll be super long (good chance it’ll be notably longer than my modern college fic) so it would still be a ways off! But if I can keep getting inspiration and/or cheerleading from all you lovely amazing friends in chats/tags/asks then it is a very real possibility in the future 🤭

[su-inverted-au]

Did you drop out of the AU?

No.

I'm working on it still. Just slowly.

[i-am-trans-gwender]

Whenever I make a post that mentions my terrible parents I hope you're imagining them as scary mysterious villains seen only in shadows, back views or ways that hide there face.

Kinda like Ozai in Avatar The Last Airbender and Odalia Blight in The Owl House before there respective face reveals.

[doumadono]

Im the Anon that sent in an emergency request after losing someone close to me.. i just want to thank you. I was in a dark place when I sent in the request, I honestly wasn't sure if it was even going to be noticed. It made me a little happy seeing it was noticed and you were so kind.. i thought I would give a semi update? Her funeral was a few days ago, I sadly wasn't able to go because I get uncomfortable at funerals but from what I heard it was a beautiful send-off, I was given a few things by her family (a teddy bear and a tiny cat figure) that im keeping next to my computer at all times. Sorry about the ramble

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me during such a challenging time. Your message truly touched me, and I'm grateful to have been a small source of comfort for you. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out, especially when you're in a dark place. It's heartwarming to know that my response could bring a glimmer of happiness to you. Remember, your feelings are valid, and it's okay to seek support and understanding from others when you need it most.

I'm glad to hear that your friend's funeral was a beautiful tribute to her memory, even if you weren't able to attend in person. The teddy bear and tiny cat figure you received from her family are meaningful keepsakes, a reminder of the special bond you shared.

Please know that you're never rambling or burdening anyone with your words. You're always welcome to reach out and share your thoughts with me, whether it's to celebrate small victories, express your emotions, or simply talk about your day. I'm here to listen, to be that shoulder to lean on, and to provide a safe space whenever you need it. Take your time to heal, and remember that you're not alone on this journey. Your strength and resilience shine through, and I'm here to offer support whenever you need it.

Sending you warm thoughts & hugs ♥

Month 7, day 5

Help I keep playing with the magic effects and I don't know if I like the sparklies or not D:

Definitely got the squiggles down, I think, but do the sparkles make it too busy? Or do they add a nice accent? Have I been staring at this too long? I think I've been staring at it too long lol

[purpleponder]

The moment I realized I actually have an irl friend who also likes dcmk, who I can ramble to and can drag to movies without guilt of wasting their time since they also want someone to drag out to watch dcmk movies and ramble with as well was one of the best moment in my life.

Literally, having online friends who love what you love is great, amazing even! But this is the first time someone irl likes the dorky niche anime shit I like! Something about that is amazing!
