The Line Between Kink And Horror Is Measured Only In Cowardice

what if the reason leatherhead always went for donatello's face during his blackouts was because donatello's physique is closest to that of the kraang and therefore the only one leatherhead would have a reason to target?

I'm not sad, I promise! Sometimes I just draw sad things, yeah :D

I just wanted to draw Ice Cream Kitty and… well, my brain didn't think of anything else. I like to imagine this happened right after losing Splinter.

And I'm very tempted to draw the other kids.

Fuck it screw my schedule I'm just gonna post art whenever I want

Now that my Tokyo Ghoul AU is public I can finally talk about it in depth, so I'm actually gonna explain some of the worldbuilding and some of the creative liberties I took

Some of it is just expanding on certain aspects that I don't think were explained in the manga in full

Here we go:

So in the og story, there exists these things called Red Children cells, or rc cells (they're called this bc an individual cell look like a curled up fetus), and they're pretty integral to what does and doesn't make a person a ghoul. Splinter was originally a ghoul, but due to the mutation, his rc cells mutated, and were no longer registered as rc cells by his immune system

Shredder and Tang Shen were humans, and Karai would be born as a half-ghoul

Not only did the mutation eliminate Splinter's rc cells, it introduced them into the turtle's bodies for the first time, combining it with the mutagen. It's said that when a person's rc factor is high enough, they become a ghoul. It's never specified how high it must be, so I've made it an rc factor of 1000

Humans on average have an rc factor of 200 to 500, and ghouls have an average of 1,000 to 8,000

The turtle's factor was below 1,000. It isn't until they meet April that things take a turn

Now I'm admittedly making shit up here, but I'm headcannoning that April's psychic powers can work on a smaller level too. More contained emotional outbursts (like screaming in fear), can send some kind of psychic waves through the air that react with different things in mysterious ways. Here it sorta stimulates the mutagen-rc mixed cells floating around their bodies and causing them to multiply

This happens when Donnie catches her and she screams btw

At this point, the transformation has already started for all of them, but bc he's the one who spends the most time with her, Donnie's transformation happens a LOT quicker than his brothers

His is complete by that night, and his brother's finish in the early hours of the morning

There's more, but I've talked long enough lol

I love the writing process so much. I love experimenting with various phrasings and metaphors, I love carefully crafting even basic sentences, I love having to go back and make sure the flow in consistent and smooth. It's like arts and crafts, but with words.

I love writing.

oh casey pining…bc he literally would. Also i have a TikTok now :D username is same as on here, might post more there now not sure yettt

I just have to ask. What are your thoughts about Donnie in sweaters and hoodies? Because I have many opinions and headcanons about him. U_U

As an individual who lives in jackets and sweaters because my reptilian blood does not allow me to ever feel warmth, yes.

Yes. My thoughts are just: Yes.

Every time Donnie has the option to dress up, he uses sleeves:

Mazes and Mutants = long cloak

Vision Quest = sleeves over his shoulder

The Crypt of Dracula = brown cloak

Now it’s not conclusive evidence, but again, this is my headcanon. This is my silly assumptions based on what I know and what I want to be true (bias!) based off my own judgements.

A lot of my headcanons about this backlash onto the Dona AU, where I make them all completely canon. For the series, however…

It’s scientifically proven that less mass = less heat and considering that they are turtles, Fall weather would be absolutely freezing for this svelte boy. There is no way that the sewers aren’t cold at night.

My personal headcanon is that we don’t see him wearing them because the brothers don’t wear clothes on a night-to-night basis. Nobody would blink if I slipped on a hoodie or put on a sweater in the middle of the day, but his brothers would notice because that’s not common. Putting on a jacket would mean admitting a sort of weakness and risking brotherly teasing.

Donnie already knows that his frame makes him physically weaker than his brothers. That’s why he makes up for it with his brain.

He can’t risk something else highlighting this. There’s no reason to give them something else to concentrate on, another thing to remind them of the difference between them.

He doesn’t put anything on unless one of his brothers do first.

(This stubbornness has backfired into illness far too often.)

Mmm, and that’s pretty much it! Thanks for Asking!

This is the same purple turtle who tries to murder a man in this episode btw

No, no, you need to give everyone the full picture:

Even better the full sequence:

(I love the way both their faces transition)

I can't even- Leo being like SO TICKED OFF and then giving Donnie that look after he catches him??? Happy silly little "hey bro I just saved you <3" As Donnie's just like "oh, thanks man"

I dunno how to describe it but it makes me feel all soft and mushy inside sfjsdkfjkdfsjkfhkssd THE BROTHERS EVER

How did it take me a month to realized I FUCKED UP HIS REFLECTION ASZHFKJHFD SHIG

You ever just draw fanart for your own fic that you haven't even finished writing yet
