[devotedtosadpoetry]

you asked for ppl's thoughts on your kendratello au and as a long-time follower of yours and a rape victim, im pretty disappointed that you think of adding rape to your kendratello au as "fun". obviously you can draw whatever you want and im just a random person, but you and the people in your notes came across as very eager to depict a fictional teenager raping another fictional teenager. ive liked the way you approached abuse in your sep au but this doesnt feel very respectful to victims.

First and foremost, I just want to say, I’m very sorry for the trauma you have been through, and I’m sorry you feel that I’ve let you down. I don’t try to hide the fact that I enjoy dark concepts, and I don’t think that me being excited to dive into a new storyline should speak to my real life morals.

I have my own experiences, and you have yours. I won’t really go into what I’ve gone through, because it’s not really anyone’s gd business. But the way we all process any type of trauma vary greatly.

For me, embracing those dark ideas is how I deal. Throwing fictional characters who are not real, and have no real feelings for me consider, into fucked up situations, is how I cope. If this were to happen to an actual person, I would feel enormous empathy and be appalled at their situation. My reaction and tone would be vastly different.

But Donatello is not real. I can do whatever I want to him, and any other fictional character, and I think that should be fine, as long as I tag everything properly, so that the actual real people, can avoid it if they wish. I will tag anything, and everything that people ask. I will put things under cuts, I will give warnings. To me, that’s where the respect for victims comes in.

I can separate fact from fiction. And that is by no means a diss. Some people really connect to these characters and see themselves in them, and so when they hurt, we hurt. I don’t feel those ties to characters. I just want to explore how they will come out the other side, because I can find control in the who, why, how’s of it all. They are simply a vehicle for me to get my emotions out in a healthy and safe manner. I won’t feel ashamed for the power I find in this.

But if my enjoyment of exerting that control doesn’t sit right with you, and leads you to forming a less than pristine opinion of me, then that’s just our experiences differing again. And that’s fine. You can unfollow me if you feel it would be safer for your mental health, you can block me, or if you’d like to just block the “Kendratello au” tag. I will be including that tag in every single post regarding this AU.

Be safe, be healthy.

The eye of the hurricane. I like to think Cassandra sometimes called the brothers by the nicknames their dad used, given they were probably pretty close before his passing.

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

Man oh man, this one was way messier and off model than my last few updates but whatever, we got to keep this ball rolling! Life's been crazy so I've had to take some unwanted breaks in between updates. Thanks everyone for your patience as always!

One thing I wanted in this flashback was to really get a sense of how the brothers worked as an experienced team with Leo at the helm as a proper leader. It's something we never got to see much of in Rise and I felt it was important to include since half the team is already gone by the time of Replica. Team Dynamics Ted Talk under the cut!

We know from Casey Jr that Leo stressed the importance of listening to your team. A big part of that also means knowing how to communicate with them in general.

With Michelangelo, he keeps it short and succinct, trusting his brother to know what he's doing when in his element. This trust goes a long way with Mikey, having spent years of his youth as the baby striving for the respect he felt he deserved. Leo knows it's best to not bog Mikey down with details, allowing him to improvise as needed. This unspoken freedom has only grown over time as Mikey has dipped deeper into spiritual arts that, frankly, go completely over Leo's head.

The greatest sacrifice Leo has ever made was read Donnie's Big Book of Bad Guy Codes. While he doesn't remember ALL the numbers, he has memorized the ones that matter and it has helped tremendously in avoiding miscommunication with his genius brother. More importantly it silenced any of Donnie's usual belly-aching. As Leo's "twin"/"equal" the two still butt heads from time to time. Donnie respects his brother's authority (mostly) but will still push the boundaries of what he's allowed on a semi-regular basis. Give Donnie an inch and he will take the mile and then find a loop hole that allows him to go twenty miles more. This is partially due to him often being the one left behind at HQ, making the turtle just a TAD stir crazy. Leo does his best to keep him in line regardless.

Big brother Raph will forever and always be big brother to Leo. As such he holds a place of authority in Leo's heart and is someone he still regularly seeks counsel from in both the ways of leadership and more. Raph is always happy to support his younger brother and does a surprisingly good job (albeit after years of practice) of walking the line so as not to step on his brother's toes in the process. At least not since the secret of "the Key" blew up in their faces several years ago. They don't talk about that anymore. Leo is the leader now and he's done a great job in recent years as far as Raph is concerned. He trusts him to make the right call. The two have a close bond and regularly use mind meld to quickly communicate rather than speak ...this will be important to remember for the future.

Hope that overall feeling came through for this group!
