and just like that, its done! the life series cross stitch is finished, totaling 110 days, about 3.5 months, of work (not including making the pattern lol)
pour one out for all those fic readers who found one author who wrote one really good fic for their fandom then clicked on their profile to find they wrote exactly one fic for that fandom and the rest for, like, csi or something
ah man i don't even have the words to express how much it hurted me to see moon like this
he kept his pain buried to try and be strong, to try and do something
and at the same time he's the only one who just couldn't accept the fact that solar might be death forever, he's in the most hurtful stages of grief and those are anger and denial
he just can't let his brother, his friend, go like this
ouch, hearing him say that he isn't good for anything and even saying that what good he is, hit way too close to home
thinking about sacrificing himself... even if Old Moon hadn't told him that, i deeply think that he might've get to that conclusion by himself... and that's painful
he was so angry, so stressed and panicked that he just directed all that to- break a bottle, cause he would never hurt anyone else like that and he's even afraid to hurt himself physically
the way he just fell on his kness and started sobbing out loud... sunny going with him to comfort him, moon babbling through tears and then screaming how much he misses his brother...
and then falling asleep
oh moon, you don't deserve to go through this.
(yes, moon is holding solar's googles)
(no, this post doesn't include romantic context, this is completely from canon, so do not misunderstand the lyrics i used)
Okay so for my birthday someone gave me one of those like twirly ribbon things (not the bow or flower thingy) that has red blue green and yellow on top of a gift and they were like “the ribbons for you” and I was like “oh cool, thanks” cause those things are really fucking shiny and hurt my eyes but then I was like “wait I’m actually obsessed with this” and put it in my purse and started bringing it everywhere with me along with other trinkets that make my eyes and brain go “WEEEEEE” and I couldn’t figure out why I liked it so much then i was in the car and the setting sun caught it and it was fucking BRIGHT and I was like “ew, burn, die, I hate it” then i realized that i actually just really liked having a thing that made my brain happy without hurting my head
The moment I heard this audio I had to make this! I started it yesterday and finished it also yesterday because I couldn’t help myself—it just fits these three so much!!!
(I have no idea why the quality of my animations gets bad when I edit them, but oh well—)
In all honesty I always admired how Solar would crouch down when talking to Lunar while Eclipse would never do that…
I never thought I'd say this but 2024 must be the year for new TMNT 2012 stuff! First, the game Wrath of the Mutants comes out in less than two weeks and now there's going to be a new 8 page story on the TMNT 40th anniversary comic coming this summer! Plus an appearance with Mikey in the upcoming crossover comic of Saturday Morning Adventures!
