thinking about my ocs is so funny. there's a couple (king and queen of a fantasy city state type thingy) who are in an arranged marriage and absolutely never fell in love but still end up being better rulers than they would have been otherwise. he's a social butterfly and she brings throwing knives to parties. at the beginning of their relationship she killed an assassin who came for him and that's when he decided that the relationship would work out actually. he is both a happy go lucky guy and scary good at reading and understanding people, to the point that he can predict their wants and needs with relative ease and act accordingly, but he really really doesn't want to think that he could manipulate people. she could name and explain every single law the city has. he would die for her. she would (and has) killed for him.

neither of them is the main character.

[I.D. A digitally painted close up of a figure with grey skin, long ears angled downward, and pale horns that curve around their ears. They hold up a bloody, clawed hand, and smile calmly as they lick off the blood. Besides their two eyes in normal locations, they have about half a dozen others scattered across their forehead. The eyes all shine a bright mixture of many colors, and are rimmed with red. End I.D.]

[I.D. Two panel response of Donnie from ROTTMNT and Beatrice, a fankid oc. In the first panel, Donnie holds Beatrice against his chest with one hand, the other held out with purple rectangular sparks of ninpo forming around it. He smiles worriedly and says, with the speech bubble shaky, "Okay, Beatrice, Daddy needs you to stay calm." Beatrice looks up at him with wide eyes, her tail curled upward. In the second panel, Donnie lifts his free arm above his head and leans backward slightly. Half his face is obscured by a dramatic shadow, and his hidden eye has a purple spark about where the pupil would be. An array of ninpo guns hovers around him. He wears a serious expression and says "This could get loud," with 'loud' in much largest text than the other words. Beatrice closes her eyes, and her tail drops downwards. End I.D.]

Donnie can only assume that this is an appropriate situation for the big guns.

Poison list

While it's important to approach writing with creativity and imagination, it's crucial to prioritize responsible and ethical storytelling. That being said, if you're looking for information on poisons for the purpose of writing fiction, it's essential to handle the subject matter with care and accuracy. Here is a list of some common poisons that you can use in your stories:

Hemlock: Hemlock is a highly poisonous plant that has been used as a poison in various works of literature. It can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.

Arsenic: Arsenic is a toxic element that has been historically used as a poison. It can be lethal in high doses and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and organ failure.

Cyanide: Cyanide is a fast-acting poison that affects the body's ability to use oxygen. It can cause rapid loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest.

Nightshade: Nightshade plants, such as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade, contain toxic compounds that can cause hallucinations, respiratory distress, blurred vision, dizziness, an increased heart rate, and even death when ingested.

Ricin: Ricin is a potent poison derived from the castor bean plant. It can cause organ failure and has been used as a plot device in various fictional works.

Strychnine: Strychnine is a highly toxic alkaloid that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle spasms, convulsions, and respiratory failure.

Snake Venom: Various snake venoms can be used in fiction as deadly poisons. Different snake species have different types of venom, each with its own effects on the body.

Digitalis: Digitalis, derived from the foxglove plant, contains cardiac glycosides. It has been historically used to treat heart conditions, but in high doses, it can be toxic. Overdosing on digitalis can cause irregular heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances.

Lead: Lead poisoning, often resulting from the ingestion or inhalation of lead-based substances, has been a concern throughout history. Lead is a heavy metal that can affect the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, cognitive impairment, anemia, and developmental issues, particularly in children.

Mercury: Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that has been used in various forms throughout history. Ingesting or inhaling mercury vapors can lead to mercury poisoning, causing symptoms like neurological impairment, kidney damage, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems.

Aconite: Also known as Wolfsbane or Monkshood, aconite is a highly toxic plant. Its roots and leaves contain aconitine alkaloids, which can affect the heart and nervous system. Ingesting aconite can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure.

Thallium: Thallium is a toxic heavy metal that can cause severe poisoning. It has been used as a poison due to its tastelessness and ability to mimic other substances. Thallium poisoning can lead to symptoms like hair loss, neurological issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, and damage to the kidneys and liver.

When incorporating poisons into your writing, it is essential to research and accurately portray the effects and symptoms associated with them. Additionally, be mindful of the potential impact your writing may have on readers and the importance of providing appropriate context and warnings if necessary.

[I.D. Digital drawing of Lua, a ROTTMNT oc. She is a goat yokai with blue fur, deep reddish purple curly hair, and goat horns on the top of her head. She has vitiligo-like light patches on her face and ears. She wears a pink Greek-looking dress with a green cloth wrapped around her waist and sits on the ground, leaning back slightly. There are light blue straps around her waist and going under her arms. The dress has pearl buttons on the sleeves, which pin together the fabric that drapes over her arms. One hand is hidden behind her legs, while the other reaches out and rests on the ground in a loose fist. The background is a gradient from blue to cream to light brown. End I.D.]

drew her again because I found a really cool painting and wanted to sort of copy it (crapped out by the time i got to the background though lol)

[I.D. The Quiet Pet by John William Godward. A young woman in a pink Greek-looking dress with a green cloth around her waisr reclines against a stone railing covered with a lion's skin. Next to her is a small dish of cherries, and she holds a pair of them in her hand. Near her hand is a small turtle, which she looks at with a serene expression. Behind her is a sea view with an open sky and a few islands visible. End I.D.]

Awww this is so cute!! tbh I haven't thought about what Beatrice's thought processes would look like, but currently I'm leaning towards them being more like streams of data or images than thinking in words. She's also had a pretty safe and happy life so far, so if seeing memories is a part of Isaac's skillset, he won't see anything worse than her family.

Donnie and Beatrice are here to wish you luck for the story competition! (Donnie is, perhaps, a bit nervous. For reasons related to Bea. She's awfully pink.)

“Isaac doesn’t get to use his mind-meldy powers a lot. Not sure yet if I want to encourage it, but it seems to be fine so far?”

Dinosaur tilts its head. Purple striped pants sounds fairly unusual. It's going to take a while, but it can probably help with that.

It flicks its tail and runs off, then pauses. Hopefully the tall one will know to follow.

Hello!! I love your fanfiction!

[I.D. Digital sketch of Donnie from It's a Complicated Equation, wear a checkered scarf, baggy clothes, and glasses. He has his hands behind his back and says "Um... h'lo? I'm lost. Could you help me find my papa?" End I.D.]

[I.D. Digital sketch of Bambi's sona, a dinosaur with a feathery frill. She is shown from extreme perspective from the front, with her eyes small dots that hover off the sides of her face. The rest of her body is extremely small in comparison. End I.D.]

You are greeted by Dinosaur. Dinosaur is very small. They can't look over any crowds, and might not be very helpful unless you can describe his knees.

(Sorry for the delay in answering this, but I'm glad you like my fic!!)

Donnie blinks. That's not the response he expected at all. "Uh, around 1,000 Newtons." Last he tested her bite force (with a few cleverly designed fake animals of course, he was not about to train his child to bite hands for any reason), it seemed to vary depending on if she was attempting to hold her form or not.

At least for now, she seems to be content gnawing on Hyde's hand in her turtle form. Otherwise he might be a little worried about crushing damage.

Donnie and Beatrice are here to wish you luck for the story competition! (Donnie is, perhaps, a bit nervous. For reasons related to Bea. She's awfully pink.)

Hyde stares in wide eyed glee.

“You’re another me with a…is that your baby? Is it-are they….did we make her?”

He holds his hands together in excitement, although ignoring the loud voice in his head asking to hold her since this version of him looks so nervous.

@bambiraptorx Thank you for the ask!!

Honestly I feel like to some extent Draxum, a man with literal centuries of fighting experience, would kinda forget that not everyone is born knowing basic weapon safety lol. Some part of him just can't wrap his head around the idea that the turtles (that he created as soldiers) wouldn't know it.

So he sees the turtles playing with a battle axe or a pair of rapiers or that old sword cane he never uses, and some part of him doesn't fully believe that they'd get hurt.

(He is almost certainly wrong about this lol)

given that Draxum had an entire gigantic room full of weapons in canon, i lowkey feel like he would at least own a sword cane

Donnie and Beatrice are here to wish you luck for the story competition! (Donnie is, perhaps, a bit nervous. For reasons related to Bea. She's awfully pink.)

Donnie was still in shock that he and his 'new' teenage family had gotten invited to compete. Ducking away from his family to explore the area (and maybe find a place to set up a new stall), Donatello runs into another version of himself. Around teenager age. He carried a child. A pink child.

Krang?

Donatello is halfway through creating a ninpo canon when his brain catches up with his reflexes. Even if it was a Krang, and not some abnormally pink turtle, it was still a child.

He lets the construct fall. The other Donnie, reacting a tad bit slower, creates a shield for himself and tucks the child closer to his side.

You idiot. He mentally berates himself. "Sorry," He says out loud. "Guess I'm a bit jumpy today. I don't mean any harm."

"I came to wish you luck." The other one says. Perhaps a bit belligerently?

For once Donatello felt grateful for being trapped in the body of a child. If he had been his full grown self? He would be in so much more trouble, and he didn't particularly want a fight.

Though, it did not make it okay. Even if no one else knew, he did. A thirty something threatening a child? It was horrible.

He'd been fine with the occasional Krang companion who came up to him in his stall. On edge, but not violent. What changed? Was it just the new environment and the fact that he was startled, or did the spore hallucination from earlier leave him feeling more vulnerable than usual?

"How about we start over?" Donatello says, offering an uneasy smile. "Nice to meet you two. Good luck with the competition."

[I.D. Digital two panel drawing of Casey and Casey Jr. from ROTTMNT, both wearing casual street clothes. Both of them also have their hockey masks resting on the top of their heads. They say "Hello!" together. Casey Jr says, "We're here for the Cardinal Rules au!" And Casey continues, "And we have some advice to give you." The second panel is tinted red, and both Caseys are drawn as chibis with exaggerated smiles. Above them are the words "Seek Revenge." End I.D.]

Donnie wrinkles his brow in confusion as Beatrice curls into his arms. "Seek revenge? For what? According to the notes Bishop won't be a problem for at several years at least."

Beatrice ducks her head under an arm. They don't say anything.

[I.D. A digital drawing of Dimension Hopper AU Leo in front of a photo of a bookshelf with a ladder attached. He smiles and holds up a hand in greeting, the other hand holding a Jupiter Jim comic book. He says "Hi! Would you like some comics??" End I.D.]

Donnie laughs, a bit awkwardly, as Beatrice leans forward in his arms and makes grabby hands (more like grabby tentacles) at the alternate Leo.

"Rrread! Uncle! Read!"

"Sorry about that, they're used to comics being something our Leo reads with them," Donnie says, doing his best to hide a smile. Beatrice kicks her heels against his stomach, something that would be rather more annoying if not for his natural armor there.

Any version of Splinter in AUs sees something like this what is their reaction?

[I.D. Two panel digital colored comic an AU version of Mikey from ROTTMNT, face to face with a fan version of Alopex. In the first panel, both of them are shown from waist up in profile, staring at each other and blushing slightly. Mikey wears an orange t shirt and a black shoulder strap with a pouch on it, his kusari fundo attached to the strap. Alopex is a white fox yokai with a short blue pixie cut and two gold piercings on her right ear. She wears a darker blue sleeveless crop top, brown pants, and black gloves. In the next panel, the two turn away from each other and blush heavily. Mikey holds his hands in front of his chest and stares sown at them, while Alopex looks away, one hand on her hip and the other on the back of her head, and whistles nervously. End I.D.]

Honestly I think there would be a decent amount of variety.

The first that comes to mind is My Circus My Turtles Splinter/Yoshi, and assuming he knows at this point that the turtles are his sons, he would not be particularly happy about one of them showing interest in a yokai girl. The fact that that he had a very negative experience with dating a yokai (and then enslaved by her for over a decade and only 'rescued' by someone else who wanted to use him too) means that he has a bit of a knee-jerk negative reaction around people with romantic intentions. It doesn't matter if Alopex is genuine in her feelings or not, Yoshi wouldn't trust her.

This is compounded by the fact that even though he lives among humans, there's no one he can really trust with what he considers his darkest and most shameful secrets. And yeah in canon there's no one he can really tell, but that's different - there's literally no one around for him to be able to confide in. And yes that's stressful and awful, but it's a different situation to be surrounded by people and not trust any of them.

Meanwhile for Not Quite Hidden, Splinter would basically be expecting his kids to date yokai if they dated anyone. They've been raised in the Hidden City, after all, if they're gonna date anyone once they're older it would have to be yokai. Yeah he's worried about them having healthy relationships, but he's lived around yokai for years at that point (and actually been able to interact with them, because Big Mama severely limited who he was able to spend any length of time with) and he knows that they're just normal people. There's trustworthy ones, sketchy ones, etc. He can't generalize them the way a version of him who escaped mutation would be able to feel comfortable doing.

For Minor Interference Splinter, honestly I'm not entirely sure how he would see it, but given that it would have to be some point during or after the Season 2 equivalent (and definitely after he finds out about Draxum), he might be grumpy that the boys have been going to the Hidden City without him. If it's something that he didn't know about at all, he would definitely be annoyed/angry that they were hiding yet another yokai they've been hanging out with from him.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Hello comp goer just a friendly turtle and his two (adopted) kids giving flower crowns to the competitors.

[I.D. Digital drawing of an AU version of Leo from ROTTMNT, smiling and holding two turtle tots. The toddlers are cloned versions of Leo and Donnie. The clone kid of Leo wears a blue beanie and a maroon shirt, and holds a yellow flower crown. The clone kid of Donnie wears a purple beanie, glasses, and a blue shirt, and holds a red flower crown. End I.D.]

[Digital sketch of Donnie, holding Beatrice, a fankid oc. Donnie waves his free hand excitedly with a look of glee on his face, and exclaims "You're a teen dad too?" His other arm holds Beatrice to his side, and she wraps her arms around his. She stares in the direction of the other kids, with an extra eye on her forehead and one on each of her shoulders open to look to. An arrow pointing to her is labelled "extra eyes because she's curious". End I.D.]

Donnie has other priorities besides flower crowns lol. Beatrice, however, seems very interested.

I've been doing some research on POTS for an oc recently and its so funny because every so often Ehlers Danlos Syndrome gets mentioned in some of the articles and I'm just like
