Warfare

XD I will literally pay someone to animate this, oh my soul. I would do it myself but I am still learning animation.

he's a little.... stuck

Vague sneak peak. Can you guess who is next?

*sharply inhales* I just got done reading Canary Continuity: Caged Lungs by @qoldenskies ...and all I can genuinely say from the bottom of my heart is...WHAT THE ACTUAL—?!?!?

NOT ONLY is the writing of this fanfic SPECTACULARLY SOUNDLY WRITTEN it also DESTROYED MY WHOLE BEING AND SOUL (in a good way!) I cried and wept with Donnie on such a personal level and I made the mistake of reading this at work (it was a slow day so not many customers) but I was trying so hard not to cry as I kept reading this wonderful piece of literature.

I'm still screaming on the inside. Screaming for Donnie and his brothers and I just—I JUST!!! AAAGGHH I want to hold them all and never let go and OH MY SOUL!! If you haven't read this I strongly suggest it. It's such a wonderful Rottmnt fanfic and it's just written so eloquently and beautifully. I will be revisiting this story so often it might be unhealthy but it's fiiiiiiiiiinnneee. I'm fine. I promise. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING ROTTMNT, GO READ IT.

Oh and please be mindful of the tags of the story some of it can be very sensitive to other people.

Oh my gosh yes! My life. Right there.

Chapter 1 Part 8-9

Part 1 | Part 10 (coming soon)

Two pages this time because you are all cool and deserve it! Also, man the Disaster Twins am I right? Thank you guys for the love and all of the comments! It seriously helps to push me and stay productive :). God bless you all! ✝️💕

I’m currently in the process of writing the next part to Warfare so it might take a bit longer for me to get Part 8 out, just a heads up. :) also I'm trying out a new signature to sign my art!

But in the meantime have a little comic that was based off of a dream I had! (I have really vivid dreams guys, sometimes it's scary but I'll leave more context of what entailed below :D) ↓

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The night breeze felt great on Donnie's skin. He wasn't sure why he wanted some fresh air alone without his brothers but he was thankful for the peace and quiet. Well, save for the usual New York hustle and bustle. Car horns blaring and the usual chatter between others. Even though it was 4 am it seemed like it was midday with all the people. It is said that this is the city that never sleeps.

Donnie sighs, taking in the moon and the faint stars above. He couldn't help but smile a little; to disconnect for a little while. Between his family and his tech, although he'd never admit it out loud, he was glad to be alone. It was rare for him, but sometimes doing nothing...could be absolute bliss.

Feeling a bit antsy not working on something though he decided that he'd go for a little walk. He had his black mask to cover his mouth, his hoodie, and wore some black jeans, so as long as he kept his hood up he wouldn't get any weird looks. It occurred to him that he left his battle shell at home, but he wasn't going far, just a little jaunt, so he shrugged and hopped down into the alley that was below him. He has S.H.E.L.D.O.N. on standby anyway, in case something did happen, no matter how highly unlikely that was.

After securing his mask to the sewed on buttons on his bandana, he pulled his hoodie up and tucked his hands into his hoodie pocket. He looked around the corner so as to not bump into anyone before he joined the crowd of people, blending in. Sometimes it felt nice to blend in...to be a part of the societal norms. Donnie relaxed a bit more and pulled out his phone, scrolling through it as he walked.

CRASH!!

It came from the alley Donnie just left. And of course no one reacted to the disturbing sound and shuffles coming from the darkness. Donnie kept walking, assuming it must have been a cat or something of the sort.

"HELP!"

Donnie heard the desperate cry and faltered his next step and bumped into someone.

"Hey, watch it!" the man spit but kept on walking.

Donnie didn't give him a response and also kept walking, slowly now though. He put his phone back in his pocket.

Come on, Donnie. Just leave...

"PLEASE!!"

Donnie stops in his tracks as goosebumps spread across his skin. They sounded like they were in pain. Like they were desperate...Donnie pulls his hood down more, thinking.

Arrgh! I can't just leave!

He knew what he had to do before his mind even made up the decision. Donnie turned and ran back to the alley, easily weaving around people, his hood flying back at his speed.

I can't believe I'm doing this...

He turns the corner and sees someone on the ground, slash marks across their forearm, no doubt to try and block the attacker. Blood was dripping down onto the dirty alley floor, mixing with old newspapers and trash. It didn't escape Donnie that he didn't have his battle shell, but he didn't have to necessarily fight. He just needed to get them out of there.

He hurriedly grabbed their arm, taking advantage of the fact that the attacker hadn't noticed him yet, and pulled them up, ready to jet out of there into the crowd where they could take cover.

"LET GO!!"

They pulled their arm back and fell against the wall roughly. His moment of surprise was gone and the attacker was aware of him now.

"Hey! I'm trying to help you!" Donnie growls under his breath. The person lying on the ground looked up in surprise.

The attacker didn't say a word as he backhanded Donnie in the face with so much power and force that he flew to the brick wall behind him, and without his battle shell, the impact was excruciating. Donnie let out a rough yell and fell to the ground. He immediately pulled up his sleeve and called for S.H.E.L.D.O.N. to alert his brothers and to send him his battle shell.

He stood up and held his hand out to the person, standing up but wincing at the pain that came from his shell and the dull ache on his cheek. He couldn't tell how bad the damage was to his shell, but the pain was manageable for now.

"If you're done wasting my time, I suggest we RUN!"

And that was the end of my dream you guys (⁠T⁠T⁠)

The whole thing was from a third person perspective which was weird. Usually my dreams are first person. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little snippet of the comic and dream. I appreciate you all and I hope you have a blessed day! ✝️

Now this! This was fun! I was trying to find some ROTTMNT merch but I couldn’t find anything I liked! And then I remembered that I literally have the power to create one that I do like.

So here is Leo! The other brothers are soon to come! I think a black background is best to my liking but what do you guys think? Let me know which one you like best.

Okay, guys, I am COOKING! I wanted to squeeze a little something in before work so have a cute Mikey enjoying a cool drink on this hot day of 78 degrees.

Also, can someone PLEASE TELL ME why when I am about to start work is when I become the most motivated individual I have ever been in my life and I have the literal ITCH to draw that I can’t ignore and then I draw the thing and I am SO HEAVILY in the ZONE LIKE?? Why can’t I be like this on my day off at home. Man just drawing struggles haha. Anyways I’m planning on turning this into a whole thing and I can’t wait to show it to you guys! Have a spectacular day all! ✝️

You guys I have received so much love for this comic thank you all so much! I’m glad you all like it so far. I wonder what they saw after Leo took off Donnie’s mask? Find out in Part 8!
