Gouta week day 4"Cursed spirit"

Hey guys do you remember Yuta and Rika? Ok so what if-

(Cursed spirit Utahime design under cut)

I see many plot points where that could happen, but my favourite would be if it was a consensual agreement on their parts, after learning about the Rika situation, since losing either would be quite a loss against Sukuna. Also this is cool bc Gojo and Yuta are relatives :)

Wip from earlier

Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?

The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony~

[luxtoony]

Haven't drawn in a while but this base (by @nasykuching ) was screaming THEM so I decided to have a bit of fun

[luxtoony]

We love positive siblings

[luxtoony]

A vision

Of what is to come, CANNOT be outrun

Let's see if we can get through all of Epic the musical

I'll go first

Alright, my brothers, listen closely

[luxtoony]

Lmao losers, I could never not do that too

Liking character is fun until you think about them and you just have to stare at nothing for a few minutes because of how tragic

And mauybe you are almost crying but you are having fun

[luxtoony]

It's that time of the year again~

I don't have time to draw any fanart but I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL POEM.

Personne killing it as always. So much emotion. So many feels. Multiple references and pararels and methaphors. And obviously Donnie favouritism. Ain't that the most perfect piece at the first pages of the zine?

SO GO OFF NOW AND READ AND GET THEM HEARTCRUSHING FEELS.

So instead of fanart I will show off my only piece of American ROTTMNT merch my poor European ass will ever get.

I'm super lucky to have this, thank you to all the participants and staff and everyone who made this whole zine possible!

A ROTTMNT contribution to the Turtles Together zine

Alternate realities

----- I'm very proud to present to you my poem for the @turtlestogetherzine! The physical copies have already all been sold in leftover sales, but you can still buy the digital bundle here if you'd like. I'd recommand reading it on AO3, but if you'd rather stay here, be my guest! -----

Four brothers hang out under the clouded moon, Basking in New York City’s noises and light. They talk and they laugh on a roof out of sight; It’s too late for duty – and for sleep, too soon. They may be teenagers but at their center Lay powers and forces that never tire,  Sparks of energy, everlasting fire –  Often at the service of quips and banter.  The Blue one gushes about a job well done, The smile of the Red one is nothing but proud, The Orange one wonders silly things out loud Of which Purple knows much, yet kindly says none. “If everything changed,” Orange suddenly asks,  “In another life, or place, or world, or time Would we keep our colors? Would we still wear masks? Would we still be ninja turtles fighting crime?” Red and Blue whistle and start theorizing Orange happily helps their ideas fuse But Purple falls silent. His pulse is rising.  Science is calling. Who is he to refuse?

Between dearest walls, he retreats with his tools In one hand a pen, in the other a cup Both needed for work – he doesn't make the rules. Hours become days, still the math won't add up. As he struggles hard to make equations fit Something starts nudging at the back of his mind.  He is close – to what? He cannot quite name it Then, in a split second, dimensions unbind. 

It feels like his thoughts Are now being shared.   He tries to reach out. Perhaps, if he dared –   

Contact. Confusion. New realities. Alternate versions. Other families.

He sees things that he doesn't remember Unknown memories blending together.

Echoes of voices, Tales ancient and new All of them are his; All of them are true.

His instincts kick in The gears start to spin Narrowing on – There! The thing they all share –

Struggle. Everywhere. Missions, miseries Mortal ennemies Pressure and anger Menace and danger

Every version of him Every version of them They all stand. They all bite. They all dread and they all fight.

And Purple flinches. Can this be their essence? Responsability over insouciance Honor and duty against opposition Sacrifice for all without recognition?

No. That can't be it. This isn't who they are, Their fate can't be written with tears shed so far. In his heart, he knows there must be something more; With a switch, e feels it, pulising at the core.

The bad and the good things flow from the same source And he shifts and pushes to swim up its course. It all comes from a place of fondness and care The urge to take risks, to protect and repair The sense of justice and the dedication All boundless affection in demonstration.

The feeling is strong. As he follows its trace, The fragments of truth at once click into place. There, clear as day, is the universal law: Accross dimensions, the Turtles don't withdraw.

Lightheaded, Purple comes back to his senses. His lab feels too small; he needs wider spaces. He goes to the kitchen – the pizza smells nice Watches his brothers fight over the last slice Leans in the doorway and finds himself staring. His soul is catching up; his heart is flaring.

The familiar shouts of loss and victory Help him se the fabric of reality. No matter the world, no matter the plots twists In every timeline, his family exists.

The rift between their universes is crossed; Everywhere, there are green heroes in the night There are masks and colors even when all's lost There are sparks and fire ever shining bright

Faith stronger than doubt, Trust louder than fear Hope warmer than drought Love closer than near.

Thanks for reading! This was my first experience being in a fanzine and I must say it was quite the first time. I'm still astonished at the sheer quality of each and every contribution, but also at the professionalism and efficiency of the mods, not to mention everyone's enthusiasm through the whole project! All my thanks again to the Turtles Together zine team for letting me in and my regards to all my fellow contributors out there, keep being awesome guys <3

I did a flashlight lighting style exercise some time ago. No story here, probably just a vent.

I have no idea when was the last time I posted here but my notes got kinda active over bigger brother instincts Donnie again, so I thought I'd post the little orange coloured citrus

I'm not back to posting, too busy with life and college

But I have a bunch of art in the archives I kept hoping I could come back to posting regularly

Maybe I will post once a week to get some serotonin

Or maybe I will vanish again *shrug*

Take care people!

[luxtoony]

I hope nintendo makes more games named after a complex emotion like metroid dread or mario wonder. I wanna play donkey kong ennui and fire emblem contempt
