Part 11!

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

“Harpy Hare” fits them so well!

Ghost finally meets a version of his brother during all the interdimensional poll shenanigans.

Raph is from the Adopted Donnie AU by @tblsomedoodles

This is for the @tmntaucompetition. Vote for Ghost so he can hug his brother longer. :')

Listened to a friend talk about Flash comics today; why do the flashfam and their Rogues literally operate like the fucking mafia. Why do their Rogues have established rules and consequences and live in constant fear of the day their heroes snap. Why is this the most efficient and moral Rogues Gallery I've seen yet. I'm so intrigued what is wrong with all of them why are they like that. Why are people getting PAID??

The gorgeous Tiresias animatic by @somerandomdudelmao rewired my brain and I couldn’t rest until I made this. What if— Mikey’s prophecies were delivered by the ninpo manifestations of his brothers? Wouldn’t that be jolly?

Many thanks to @1000sunnygo for translating the remaining fourth light novel story. 🙏🙏 It's bookended by segments in 2050, but the main portion is set on January 28, 2046.

The ending that was included for this story's rerelease in the light novel is the inspiration for the top two photos in the series' fourth anniversary art:

Which is 🥺🥺🤧

Small smattering of reactions under the cut:

Emma knowing deep in her bones how amazing Don and Gilda are, even without her memories 🤧🤧

REAL FUCKING DON AND GILDA APPRECIATION HOURS HERE 👏 👏

(Chapter 59)

Me, treasuring any crumb of Don and Emma interactions:

They take their responsibility so seriously 🥺🤧 goodest kids

FJLDSFLJEASD Gilda immediately shutting that shit down after what happened with Emma fainting two weeks ago…

…only to come to the conclusion this is exactly the kind of shit the trio would pull, in the same way that's conveniently summarized in "The Chess Proverb" short story:

With the spark of unconventionality that Emma brings and her drive to achieve the seemingly impossible to balance out Ray's wisdom and pragmatism and Norman's cunning and ruthlessness in execution.

They admire the trio so much after all the years they spent looking out for them and they want to do them proud, and then the look on their faces when Emma and Ray choose them to accompany them on the search for Cuvitidala and the Seven Walls without hesitation because of how much trust they have in them after everything they've been through—

Also this is hardcore I'm so proud of these two little ten year olds and how in sync they are throughout this whole thing.

"smiled softly" oh son I'm soft

Also yes you better be heaping praise on them after everything, including making Gilda cry which is a tragedy in its own right

And a little bit of Raydon banter at the end too to complement what we got in "Operation Stormy Night," beautiful. 🖤❤️🙏

also this is absolutely the worst cut and worst framing they could've possibly given Ray for the characters pages in volumes 2-3

Zombie setting where the undead are drawn towards unhygienic scents, so survivors constantly bathe to avoid being eaten.

Zombies are docile when adorned with flowers.

Settlements overgrown with herbs and flora.

Barely any banditry; everyone is focused on farming and gathering.

Different human factions and towns named after flowers like Lilies, Orchids, Roses, etc.

Instead of immediately killing an infected survivor, they’re given special funeral rites - the zombie is covered with flowers to keep them calm, and  allowed to walk out from the settlement to join the hordes.

A ghost stegosaurus visiting their newly discovered bones. They’re so happy you found them!
