#inspired by indieyuugure's comic 'The Mutation Situation'

[misterdeplume]

I feel like Casey and April would be pretty used to being bullied. They would at least fit the category for bullying victims pretty well I'd say.

Like Casey because, well... he's Casey. Showing up with bruises, a hockey stick and several absence notes with smushed up make-up to boot, tends to get people talking. He fancies himself a vigilante of the neighborhood- he's THAT hockey kid, of course people are gonna be talking.

April would be a little more complicated. Maybe April’s dad came by to school one day warning April to make sure no aliens or kraang were watching them or something like that and a student caught it. (Like the whole thing with Kirby after his second mutation drove him to almost have a nervous breakdown.) Rumors of her ‘crazy’ dad spread and her fate was cealed.

Or it could even just be because she wants to be a journalist. People think she's a conspiracy nut for pursuing it, (or whatever other unfairly mean stuff teenagers can make up), so now she is THE alien conspiracy freak. Not helped by the revelation of her alien heritage- being called one, or worse- having your dad be called one.

Safe to say, that really doesn't help your self esteem...

Its not really something they talk about with the turtles. Next to their reptilian friends' rumbunctious lifestyle of fighting alien invasions and ninjas every day, their high school one seems pretty normal in comparison. Dull, even. And besides, they're pretty used to it at this point, so why even bring it up when it's so inconcequencial? They're too busy running for their lives every day to really worry about that one guy who tossed a hamsandwitch in your cheek meat.

But then, say, if the turtles were turned human and now they have to try and assimilate to their school for whatever reason - maybe theyre trying to track down an alien or some kraang tech or something, maybe they're just doing it because they want to try school- either way, this is the time for April and Casey to help them survive what's an even worse threat than the Shredder.

High School. DUN DUN DUUUUUN. And when the turtles realize how horrible the other kids have treated their friends…? oh boy oh boy. You can run but you can't hide.

Hey, Phoebe!! :)

Okayyyyyy one more- Uhhhh alrighttt

Reading Fanfics for TMNT~ I cannot say this enough. The TMNT fandom is the greatest I've ever seen and been a part of. It is FULL TO THE BRIM with creatives who love the shows, the comics, the movies.. And when I find a story written by someone about TMNT, I am so excited to read it. :) Yours especially, @phoebepheebsphibs!! Yours and @boots-with-the-fur-club's "Double Mutated Mikey", as well as "Until I Found You", "No Fun in Fungus", and "Hide N Seek" have all been such amazing reads. And they've all inspired me so much not only as an author myself, but as an artist too!! So thank you for all the inspiration you have sparked in me through your beautiful stories. :)

Reading Fan Comics for TMNT~ AGAIN WITH WITH THE INCREDIBLE FANDOM!!! Tumblr is packed with so many beautifully and skillfully illustrated comics. Here's but a few that I've really enjoyed!! :) ( @indieyuugure's Rise of the Parallel, Indie TMNT, and The Mutation Situation, @allyheart707's Little Subjects, @kathaynesart's Replica, @renisrandom's In My Heart I Know, @heretherebeturtles-comic, and many many more. :)

Drawing the TMNT brothers being goofy/angsty/hilarious

Drawing the TMNT brothers being sad/depressed/struggling. Mostly to help cope myself, and help others cope. The saying " Write what you know" really is true. When you're struggling/sad/angry, one of the best things I have done to help calm myself down is draw how I feel. ( TW cancer/death )A while ago, one of my church friends passed away very quickly from cancer. It happened so fast, in fact, that I never got to say a proper goodbye. So, with these unbridled emotions, I drew a mini comic, passing down how I was feeling to Mikey mourning over losing Klunk, his cat. It helped me EXPONENTIALLY to just get my feelings out, but in a way that wouldn't hurt me or anyone else. And I recommend doing it for anyone who's hurting. <3

Knowing I'm not alone~ I have my family, I have God, I have Jesus Christ, I have my friends here and in my every day life, I have art, I have creativity, and I have a community. :)

Thank you for the ask, Phoebe!! Felt good to get that all out. :)
