Hello Friends!

Pfft-lol

Kudos to this post for presenting this wonderful image to us

*raph looks up*

Raph:“Grandpapa?”

Shredder:“Not it!”

once again like the pathetic piece of crap that I am I need help

spoilers for an upcoming drawing

To be clear this is her ninja fit post 1rst arc

old edit I made during the snowman song trend

I feel like there is a section of the Tottmnt/mm fandom that may or may not be confused by why another section(the one that I am in) of it LOVES the idea of having she-shells (aka Venus de Milo, Jennika, Lita May, ect.) in that iteration because of how perfect it will be. So even though no one asked imma explain why I personally think that is.

The entire plot line of the she shells is usually along the lines of girls who lost everything and have no where to go. This is mainly because they are mutants but also because the connections they had before mutant or not had been severed, killed of, or left them in cold blood. And the role of the main four turtles is usually to help them get back on their feet or to add them to their family. Because not only are these characters other turtles which are almost always deemed impossible to exist but they are also left with not much. Unlike the she-shells however the main four have each other creating a sort of “let’s be freaks together” heartwarming story.

In mutant mayhem we see that not only are mutants noticed but also in the beginning discarded and abused by humans. This makes the part of the turtles feeling outcasted even more heartbreaking and important to their story and character. But yet again they have each other. Not only that but also their giant family with their cousins and dad. If humans ever doubted them again they’d have almost a literal mob to help them.

So by adding the she-shells their arc becomes more than just a “let’s be freaks together” narrative but also a “I know how you feel. You are not alone and we will find people who don’t hurt us. Not anymore.”. The main four would not only introduce them to an entire family who has a similar trauma to what they have but also an entire human world to introduce them to now that they are accepted. Like I said on another post the “older” characters would see a reflection of themselves in the newer characters and sort of be the person they didn’t get to have but needed when going through such things.

So there’s what I think the thought process of the general idea is (comment if I’m outrageously wrong or if you had a different idea in your head). Sorry for wasting your time but I have another “small” idea.

yknow this scene in mutant mayhem when April asked Donnie if there are more turtles and he says:

(I know this isn’t the exact frame but I don’t have access right now)

“Nope. Just us.”

I know people probably think this was foreshadowing them finding the other mutants but what if . . .?

Chapter 3 Part 2

“LEO!! I’M HERE!! I-NGH”

A sharp blow hit the orange turtles head. A cold dark substance came dripping down from the point of contact.

“Shut up you little pest! Do you not understand what keep quiet means!” The voice of his attacker was stern and annoyed but also not that much different from the jerks at Eastman High.

“You know if you keep knocking him senseless he won’t be able to hear you and we’ll lose the only target you managed to capture.” The second voice sounded much more familiar than the last. The two voices continued to argue as they faded into the distance and reality continued to blur. Blood now slowly dripped and splattered across the left side of his body. The side Mikey was hit. Though he was basically knocked senseless and was only held up by the two figures too his side now basically carrying him Mikey did know this;

There is no way he could escape on his own now.

But all that Mikey could think about was his brothers. If he shouted for them who knows how long it would take for them to find him. And if by some miracle they came what would happen? Would they manage to even escape after what happened last time? What if they got captured too?

And what about his dad? How would he react knowing his youngest son was missing? The last time this happened on the night of Superfly’s fight he was absolutely livid. But that was when April had known where they were and the 4 turtle warriors were still together. Still had someone there for them. How would anyone find him if even he didn’t know where he was?

‘Where are you guys? Everything hurts. Please. . .’

Mikey could feel his conscience slip away and far from his grasp as he wheezed for air. Tears dripped down from his pain-filled eyes bringing only a slight feeling of relief to the wounds they touched. He was wounded, afraid, and so utterly alone.

‘Please come.’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mikey!!”

After 3 hours of scouring the city, 2 missed calls from their dad, and one sad long last attempt to find their brother, Donnie, Raph, and Leo returned home to the lair. Almost as soon as they walked up to the door their father rushed in front of it. Hands on his hips and a concerned yet stern look on his face Splinter started his questioning. “Where have you boys been?! It is almost midnight?! Why have you been ignoring my calls?! I thought something bad happened to yo-”

He stopped when he saw the looks on his sons’ faces and realized that only three were standing there in front of him. “Where is Mikey?” Splinter said his voice losing its strength and filling with fear.

Donnie looked to the floor numbly, his eyes wet and about pour tears, as Raph and Leo looked at each other. Finally Raph worked up the courage to admit the harsh cold truth.

“We don’t know. Someone took him. We tried to stop them! But-” He stopped when he realized that he couldn’t continue without letting the lump in his throat be heard.

And so they stood there in shock, silence, and fear.

What happens now?

Alrighty that took way longer to organize and type than I thought.

The question:

The answer:

My reaction:

a a sledgehammer you say???

*Me trying to think of ways to make the next post of Tmaynt special*

Me: Oh! I know! I’ll do a collab of day 7 and 8

*day 8 comes*

Me: Wait. Which turtle ally is my favorite?

*whole day pass without work done due to inability to choose favorites*

Me: Ah Shit! I still can’t choose! And I have zero time to draw this collab! Uh that’s ok I can just post when I choose.

*the next day*

Me: ok I’ll definitely post today

*day after that*

Me: well I can’t miss one of the main four characters of a franchise that im obsessed with

*misses one of the main four characters*

Me: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

*continues to miss two more days*

Me: 😑

Well dammit

And that’s the story of why I didn’t post for the past few days. I tried SO hard to post each and every day for TMAYNT but I just couldn’t do it.

Might as well do it now I guess

Day 7 Best Gadget

I love the little Christmas lights and whisks at the ends

Day 8 Favorite Turtle Ally + Dynamic

Karai has got to be one of my absolute favorite characters in Tmnt. No matter what they do with her she is always a queen(except for bayverse but we don’t talk about that)

I ship them so hard but I love how their dynamic has so much variety . They’re best friends and lovers (head-cannon) and badass warriors.

Day 9 Best Raph

Look at him being so supportive of his bros

and then going rogue on the garage mission

but the first part is still true

Day 10 Favorite Turtle Curseword

I know everyone says this but probably shell

Day 11 Favorite Splinter

I still can’t pick one favorite bro 😭

oops I forgot these goobers

Spot the difference:

They’re both alpha women with their cutie pie bfs

Chapter 7 Part 2

“Karai! You came!”

Aprils face somehow brightened from the last time Karai had seen her. That or Karai was still forgetting that most normal humans lived normal lives.With normal families and simple pleasures. They didn’t usually have a reason to be as harsh as the Foot were.

But besides her expression you could probably guess that her life was a train wreck. Her hair was messy, clothes were wrinkled, and her beanie was slightly crooked on her head. Please don’t be doing what I think you’re doing.

“And why wouldn’t I meet up with the news-dork I call friend?” Karai fully entered the dark room, dropping her bag on the nearby chair. The smug look on her face automatically formed without warning nor awareness.

“Hey! I didn’t call you any names when you walked in the room.” April responded placing her hands on her hips in her signature jokingly sarcastic pose.

“You were about to though.” Karai crossed her arms across her chest, leaning over April(whom was slightly shorter) as she narrowed her eyes. “Weren’t you?”

“Mhm. But only cause you fall for it.”

“Oh ho ho. Is that so?”

April straightened up her back and also narrowed her eyes before continuing.

“Yep.” April smacked her lips on the p.

A moment of silence fell between the two before April’s laughter erupted followed by Karai’s chuckles. It was so hard to not smile in the reporter’s presence. Once you got close enough to her.

“Haha! Man I don’t know what that was.” Her laughter slowed as she wiped tears of joy away from beneath her glasses.

Karai wasn’t quite sure either but the comment still made her smile. She hummed as she looked around the dark room. Faint red light tinted every crevice and corner of the room including all of Aprils research. Several empty bulletin boards laid askew on the floor. Few hung on the walls covered in sloppily cut out photos and news articles. Nothing bad yet. Please don’t be doing what I said stop doing.

“What’s up?” April had texted her before but not like this. At least not without a reason. And last time it wasn’t exactly a . . . comfortable experience. For either of them.

April barely held in a squeal, her hair bouncing in time with her body. “Okay! So you know how I may or may not have been researching about TCRI after their whole out of the blue disappearance?”

Damn it

Karai let out a low sigh like the ones she had heard countless times from her father. God how she hated that thought. Her acting like her dad. Her head hung low with her eyes tightly shut. Her mouth was drawn so tight she thought the lightest touch would break it.

“April. . .”

“Well I just found a massive lead. So I traced back to where their usual supply ports were . . .”

April kept on rambling excitedly. Any other subject would have left Karai at least amused by her friend’s enthusiasm. But fear flooded her thoughts.

“April.”

This time her friend heard her. April turned revealing a look of small shock on her face. Karai’s face softened slightly. She couldn’t hurt her feelings. She knew how much April toils over this kind of crap. But she also couldn’t let her walk straight into becoming a target of a super powerful company with enough resources and intelligence to kidnap the president. Or even worse hire their closest partner to do things even worse than death to the unsuspecting teen.

Stuck between the controversy that was her entire life at this point, Karai settled on massaging her forehead and releasing yet another sigh(that’s definitely gonna get old). “Come on girl. We talked about this.”

“Oh! Right.” April looked down disappointment fading onto her face. She rubbed the back of her neck as the look fully set in. With a hint of guilt adding to both of the girls emotional weights.

Great! What have I done now? My last night with the first new friend you’ve made since Jennika and you ruined.

“Maybe . . . I took it as a strong suggestion.” She looked up at Karai guiltily but at least smiling now. Yet again that meant she was trying to get away with this and still wasn’t comprehending how strong of warning Karai had made.

Karai let out a long groan. “April.”

“Oh come on! What’s the worst thing that could happen if I expose a toxic company?! Whom of which hurt some of my closest friends!”

Great! Now she’s mad too.

If Karai could be honest she would read off the entire list of bad things that could be done to the news girl for exposing them. But alas she was not supposed to be Karai the kunochi and double agent. Right now she was Karai the normal teenager. And even as a normal teenager she could not hold back her anger.

“Look. I’m just trying to look out for you. Believe it or not exposing a super powerful group of psychopaths may not help you as much as you’d think.” Karai‘s’s gritted teeth made the comeback sharp and silent but luckily enough to get the point across.

“And I appreciate that! But sitting around doing nothing isn’t how you change things! And that company’s existence is definitely a change that needs to be made ASAP!” April’s volume only grew with her anger. “My friends really need this right now!”

“Who?! The mutant turtles?!” Karai blurted, at this point she didn’t care about temper. Her thoughts had been straining against the barriers in her mind for too long. Especially in front of someone she thought she could down those barriers upon feeling her presence. “Why do they matter in this argument?!”

“What is up with you?! And why are saying it like that?!” April backed away slightly as if she was the one being insulted.“Yes they’re mutant turtles! So what?! They’re my friends and they need help! I would do the same for you!”

Karai wanted to puke.

A deathly silence fe over the room. Adding to the choking thickness of the sea of shock and regret she had plunged under.

She never seriously thought about how much April connected with the turtles. How much she cared. And for her too. They had just become friends less than half a week ago and April cared enough to risk her safety for her. That hit the nail to the coffin.

What are you doing?! GET OUT BEFORE YOU BLOW YOUR COVER!!

Karai quickly snapped up, escaping the very unwanted thoughts zooming around her mind. She quickly grabbed her backpack and opened the door. Before she could step out April broke the silence.

“Karai, I-”

“Nevermind April. Just-.” She looked up for second. Probably the worst mistake in her life besides the day they died, as she saw Aprils look. She looked so shocked and confused. Somehow in the short amount of time Karai had spent with April she had gotten to know her very well. Well enough to know she would blame herself for . . . all of this instead of the one who took up a tone first. “-nevermind, ok.”

She slowly shut the door behind her. She didn’t want to leave like this. But what choice did she have. It was either fight with April and give the police a good lead on who to start looking to for answers or do the job she was meant to do without hesitation and good leads for the police. And hopefully April.

Just as the door almost fully closed Karai peered through the crevice one more time. “Sorry. Sayonara.”

Karai made it longer than she had expected. A total of 3 blocks before finding a good alleyway. From their tucked into the little corner she locked into a tight ball and slumped to the ground.

A moment of weakness was highly frowned upon by the foot but they couldn’t see her here. She could be a disappointment all she wanted without bothering anyone else here.

Get up.

Listening to the voices in her head Karai quickly wiped her eyes careful not to smudge the eyeliner. Her oni mask slipped over the bottom of her face. The cool metal brought a chill into her body. The rest of her armor was strapped on just as the troops stalking the target area signaled her.

Withdrawing her twin wakizashi she was ready to end this.

Nothing left for her to hesitate over.

So yeah sorry this took like over a whole ass month to write but stuff got crazy and I got distracted. Hopefully the next few chapters will come quicker. In this chapter I kinda wanted to take from the perspective of being in the passive position of one of those two second arguments you have with your friends that creates a grudge for the rest of the day before forgiving and forgetting completely the next day. But obviously Karai ain’t gonna forget this little talk. (Quick fyi when reading this I am not trying to ship Karai and April. Any of what you might think is that is just April having a bi panic and Karai struggling to figure how to do a healthy relationship) Anywho hope you like it. Cowabunga turtle fanz!
