"Remember me, remember me.

I'm on my own, remember me.

I'm too far gone, I couldn't see.

Remember me, remember me.

All this time it cut so deep.

All my life, I couldn't breathe.

Remember me, remember me..."

Meet Aspen

His whole thing is he can control plants and protects the forest his family has guarded for generations

He has a little sister, Ivy (who is still in the works) that he makes wooden puppets for. She is then able to control said puppets and causes as much trouble as she can manage to annoy her brother.

I blame @cimmerian1275 and Shellcord movie night

I'm finally done! This took way longer than I wanted it to for such a simple color palette, but I'm happy with the turnout, although I couldn't decide which version to go with, so you all get both! d( > _・ )

Reference was loosely used but only really for the shapes of the bg and not for the character poses or anything.

Have you shown the Kraang Jupiter Jim Or Lou Jitsu? And do you still have access to any of your comics?

"I showed them Jupiter Jim! Me and Three managed to find a tape AND a really busted up VHS on a trip once! Three's smart and fixed it. Prime didn't like it very much, kept saying it was 'inaccurate' or 'moronic.'"

"Because it is! This is highly unlike space travel! And how is this mere Earthling-!"

"Careful you don't trip on that soap box on the way down, Bud. Three liked it a lot, actually! I genuinely think he's making his own fanfic for it now. . ."

"As for the other question! I don't have any of my comics anymore, sadly. And who would wanna see Lou Jitsu anyway? Eugh."

hihi!

I legit ADORE your Flutterleo AU but I just have one singular question:

how does Leo hide the butterfly parts of his legs? They’re much longer and skinnier than before his second mutation. I know you said he can hide his double mutated parts, but I’m a lilll confused abt that part!!

I'm glad that you liked my au!

And as for the legs part, I don't know how to explain it, but he can retract them.

Don't Get Butterflies In Your Stomach

MASTER POST

Double-Mutated Leo AU

An AU about Leo gets double-mutated into a Butterfly.

This focuses on Leo's insecurities, and he always just masks his face and hides his emotions. But with his new mutations, it's going to be a lot harder. Luckily, he can retract his mutated parts, but the problem is that they will just pop out of his body whenever he feels nervous or scared. Leo doesn't want to give his family even more trouble from him, burden them, especially his brothers, feeling like he doesn't deserve them at all. The only thing that made him feel better was his pet butterfly, Sapphie.

Donatello is now in detective mode because Leo was up to something, and he puts trackers on him and recorders. But lo and behold, Leo manages to find all of them, even though they are well hidden. Donnie was shocked at how Leo even found them; he was now even more suspicious of him, and he was even more worried.

Part 2/2 PREV

HELLO ALL. Holy smokes, remember when I said this comic was text heavy?? Y'all didn't even know what was gonna hit ya haha Also I used a big swear but honestly #letDonniesayfuck2025

ANYWHIZZLE hurt/comfort time! Leo finally gets a hug and it's from an unexpected source! What's that in the corner? It's Donnie with a (steel chair) hug!!! And Leo finally gets to break down a bit! Yippee! Does he immediately regret it?! Yes!!! Oh no, he's still riddled with self-doubt and deprecation!!

I have a sequel to this that might be posted.... Eventually. But that one is pretty angsty and would you believe it's even more text heavy. I have an excuse though!! I started as a fanfic writer and then moved to comics! 🥹 I like wordsssss. Also I'm not sure how to end the sequel sooooo rip me I guess

[reclusive-raven]

Part 1/2 NEXT

Ah shit, here we go again. Ummm, I wasn't gonna post this comic but a few of y'all were actually interested in it so I coloured it a bit and Bob's your uncle. Be warned, this is pretty text heavy so sorry for making you read a bunch! There's also swearing, sorry! They do be teens though so, I figured it's fine.

This is KIND OF a sequel to my last comic (even though I drew this before the last one) bc Leo's insomnia finally gets attention. However, Donnie is wildly uncomfortable at having to be the one who has to confront his bro about it, but he does it anyway bc he ✨cares✨

I also have a continuation of this comic which connects it to the last comic more in the works but it's REAL depressing so I may not finish it/post it lmao we'll see.

Also, I still don't know how to colour/storyboard comics so you're welcome for the chaos haha

I. AM. SKETCHING....

Idk what possessed me but this was a quick half assed doodle i wasnt really trying with when i couldnt sleep, that kinda flew away from me when i kept adding things later today to the sketch and it kept looking awesome so now uh- I got carried away so have this *gestures* ig im gonna finish it after i finally lock in on completing some owed artworks that have been escaping me.

Some of the anatomy here is making my eye twitch but ill fix that when i finish it >:) just you wait, it can get even more awesomer.

If Dragon Fruit Donnie and WUF Donnie met how would it go? And would Dragon Fruit Donnie be jealous of WUF Donnie's wings?

If DF!Donnnie met WFI!Donnie?? Oh yeah, hes gonna be SO jealous of the other Donnies real wings haha.

(DF!Donnie is him as a dragon for anyone who doesnt know about that niche au i have stored on a top shelf ehehe)

Dragon Donnie made tech wings based on DF!Leos (that are also feathered bird wings) because he wanted to be more like his brother/also felt left out when he couldnt join him flying because of his lack of wings or any flying ability. Trying to make them to resemble bird wings was extremely hard and he almost crashed out with how many models and tests and scrapped versions he went through before he finally made a working pair.

So seeing another version of himself who got wings for free and who didnt even feel grateful/nor want them at first- is gonna piss him off to no end, he might just crash out right then and there xD

Once hes recovered from that information, theyd probably ask each other a million questions. DF!Donnie would end up finding out that double mutation = might be a way to get biological wings, thats an option!?, and everyone would immediately tell him "NO!!" lmao.

WFI!Donnie would just immediately geek out and start prying for the other to send him the schematics for those tech wings, and once that topics been started both of them would soundboard off each other and infodump all of their bird wing knowledge. Theyd probably squeal like kids as they did so because "Oh my gosh- SOMEONE ELSE STUDIED THIS NICHE TOPIC AS MUCH AS I DID?!"

[reclusive-raven]

Is WFI! Donnie like a taxi for FTNTH! Leo? Does he just accept it when Leo wants uppies and flies him around?

Yesnt. Hes about to drop Leo if he doesnt stop wriggling lmao.
