ROTTMNT MOVIE WON A GOLDEN REEL AWARD

Prolonged Agony Cover Art

End of the movie… or at least it should've been.

The Krang successfully grabbed Leo's leg and pulled him back into the prison dimension. When, unable to keep it open, the portal closes. Locking him in the void with the most malicious creature he's ever met.

Now it's a race against time to bring Leo home. But with each attempt they see Leo deteriorate… and Mikey starts to question whether or not Leo should be allowed out of the prison dimension at all.

I was meant to release this the same day I publish Chapter 20 but I got excited and couldn't wait so here you go!

This took me forever to do. I knew I wanted to do some kind of cover art from my fic, but I had no idea where to start. Art isn't my strongest point, I'm better at writing lol, but I think I did a pretty good job with this.

The idea came when I looked through some offical TMNT comic covers and decided to redraw one of those. The cover I chose is from The Last Ronin. I just liked the layout and concept, so I redrew it to fit my fic.

ROTTMNT : SPIRITS WITHIN THE WEAPONS 

Masterpage

So I've had this trivial idea stuck in my head for a while that kinda intrigued (and bothered) me enough that I had to share it. 

Basically…. What if the mystic weapons each of the turtles wield has a living spirit inside it? 🤔

Indulge me, please:

Say, when the mystic weapons were created they unintentionally accessed formless spirits to inhabit the weapons. Spirits that remained conscious when the turtles "borrowed" the mystic weapons. However, they chose to stay hidden so that they could observe their new turtle wielders.

Overtime they formed such a bond with their wielders that an unbreakable unity was created that allowed the turtles to access more and more power from their weapons. 

Also, when the turtles aren't looking, the spirits in the weapons communicate with each other, mostly to discuss their welders, deciding that they are going to do all they can to look after the young turtles. They also adopt their formless natures to take on the image of their wielders, forms the turtles can't (yet) see. 

(But then I realize that Donnie didn't take the halberd which kinda makes me sad for the spirit inhabiting it…)

I guess that makes this idea more Canon Compliant than an Alternate Universe. I just see it as the Spirits within the Weapons interacting with each other behind the scenes without the turtles knowing.

Hmmm… just food for thought…😅

I also did some art for each of the Spirits! 😁

Do not despair rottmnt fandom! We still have a ninja’s greatest weapon—hope! If we keep hoping, Donnie just might win! But why should you vote for Donnie, you ask? Well…

Donnie is canonically autistic and has so much swag it’s unreal.

Donnie has helped educate people on autism and neurodivergence in general. He may or may not have been the driving force for my realization that I might be autistic. Donnie seriously changed my life with that piece of information.

Donnie is very realistic autistic representation. He’s just an autistic character who’s allowed to exist and exhibit autistic traits without being scrutinized for it. I love when he stims!

Donnie presents many autistic traits such as low empathy, monotone voice, sensory issues, difficulty with emotions and feelings, special interests and stimming!

In conclusion, please vote for the autistic turtle! Maybe it’s because I’ve been fixated on rottmnt and autism for the past seven months but I genuinely believe that he deserves to win. I hope that you can give Donnie the support he needs to win this competition with his clear superior autism swag! 💜💜💜

(I am way too invested in this competition, someone help. Even if Donnie doesn’t win, he’ll always be a winner in my heart!)

Eveytime I see a really good fanfic idea I always get the urge to write it, this is one of those moments.

But alas... I'm too lazy to do so...

Someone please write a fanfic on this so I can at leat read it.

I would've loved if the movie ended with Leo still in the Prison Dimension. Not just because of the angst, but because Leo and Kraang would've been each other's warden.

Because imagine if Leo didn't immediately give up when the portal closed. Imagine if he constantly gave it his all and fought Kraang every second of every day. But neither one was winning.

We could've had Leo and Kraang in a stalemate for months. Raph, Donnie, and Mikey racing against the clock because Leo can't fight forever.

Mikey is only strong enough to open a portal for a few seconds. And, every time he does, he sees the both of them fighting tooth and nail just to overpower the other. Mikey's never seen Leo this intense. This ruthless.

The longer Leo is in the prison dimension, the more ruthless he gets. There's a reason Kraang hasn't been able to kill him yet....

It gets to the point where, unknowing to Raph and Donnie, Mikey questions whether or not Leo should be allowed out of the prison dimension-

This post started out normal and then it evolved into a fanfic idea. I wish I could write good fanfics because I would write the f u c k out of this-

So proud of Paris for creating this. For a college film, it's incredible! ☺

I made this years ago. I have this neat little drawing app on my tablet that comes with loads of stickers I usually don't use. But, when playing aroud with the app, I made this. I hope day I'll be able to draw this from scratch without using any stickers lol. #originalartwork #artistsoninstagram #artistic #nightskyart #originalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zzl3SBPwk/?igshid=1d3o0sgivmjm6
