So I've been agonizing what Raph, Leo and Mikey's names should be in the AU, cuz if Splinter didn't raise them then they Draxum would've been the ones who named them and why would he pick human artist names?
Alas, I am lazy, and I don't wanna spend a bunch of time figuring out alternative names for them, so I quickly thought of an in-universe reason why they all ended up with the same names as in canon lol
(TBF Splinter did immidietly start naming in the show as well, he was just a bit less creative about it)
Is the big smile Donnie always wears when he is uncomfortable or around his siblings, is it a genuine smile or is it kind of like a mask hiding his true feelings?
Just curious because he has such a big smile and it’s cute but it seems like he smiles a lot for someone with lots of trama and it always happens around his siblings.
It’s kinda both I suppose. Sometimes he can’t really believe that he’s with his family and that they actually like him. So it’s easy to smile cause he’s so happy.
Other times it’s his go to coping mechanism. There wasn’t much he could do in the face of an angry Draxum, and crying always seemed to upset his father even more, so he’d try to grin and bear his punishments. Any time he’s upset, he thinks smiling is his best defense at hiding how he really feels.
It probably all started innocently enough and just became second nature.
At last… she is complete. 😩 Ending with full-color irony as the boys settle into their respective families. 💚 Not sure what story within this au I’ll do next, but thank you to everyone who’s read and stuck with me while I worked on this comic. I know Zelda derailed me for a hot minute, but I’m so happy I was able to finish. I hope you’ve enjoyed the story so far! 😉
seeing as how people are doing requests rn, could you do the clip of the turtles getting captured (by draxum) in like. the second to last episode of season 1? the animation there was really good imo :]
