Vanitas And Noe

🌟"To you 20 years from now"🌟

I liked the hoodie I gave to little Leo in the illustration I did for and just like that so I wanted to draw the whole boy!!!

Art and comic by the marvelous and magical @somerandomdudelmao!

Song is Birds and Boats by Gregory and the Hawk (but I used the demo version since it sounds more like a lullaby)

RAPH AND LIL CASEY JR.... MY HEART.....

Anything and everything involving Raph usually breaks me but these updates shattered me in such a good way. I'M SO EXCITED FOR CASEY JR TO HAVE HIM BACK AND FOR THEM TO TALK AND I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE RAPHIE AND AAAAA

Once again, thank you to Cass for making such a beautiful comic!

Hm hi! I made this edit to @somerandomdudelmao :] the rottmnt fandom has made tons of edits with this sound, but I think it fits to CAS!Casey

Song: Were You Are - Moana

Usagi Yuichi! I finally finished him after my original sketch. As promised, Bone-man is on the way, and once he is completed i'll be working on the comic. Presss for better quality.

Happy 5 year anniversary rottmnt! Thank you for much joy over the years and let it continue forever!

quick thought:

when it's too much for jokes, leo's stress response tends towards total silence

like when they got stuck in the turtle tank in cloak and swaggart, leo's method of freaking out is Floor

no witty banter with shredder. after a final oneliner, barely reacts to anything in the prison dimension... only starts speaking again when he sees his brothers...

hm. hum. thinking of him...

Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)
