Summary: When Erik grudgingly agrees to play Raven's boyfriend at her terrible family's holiday party, he'd thought the biggest challenge would be staying sober enough to make it convincing. But then he meets Raven's extremely hot—and extremely infuriating—stepbrother, and everything starts to get complicated.
Since reveals are up, I can share my fic for this year's Secret Mutant! I'd been wanting to write a fake relationship fic for a while, and @mnemo-ink's delightful prompt—in which the Erik/Raven fake relationship is truly fake and an impediment to actual Charles/Erik—was the perfect twist to start with. I am describing this one as a ROMP lol. Thank you to my brilliant beta, @1degosuperego, who gave me an unexpectedly complicated editing challenge at the 11th hour—and who was 100% correct on that front, as usual. 😘
Took part in a TMNT Gallery Secret Santa 2023 on Twitter, and I was assigned to be @hitokshellart's Secret Santa. I couldn't settle on just giving them one gift, so I decided to give them TWO gifts instead.
Y’know, I really glad TMNT Gallery made me @hitokshellart’s Secret Santa because that gave me the PERFECT opportunity to draw some Big Mama’s Child fanart.
Merry Christmas, @hitokshellart, and have a Happy New Year 🥳
i like think of the other aspects of having powers/side effects like spidey (specifically a metabolism as fast as theirs) because it’s just so fun. you can go the spider-first route, where you consider what an irl spider does before you try to apply it to a human and work it into the metabolism, or you can go the power-first route, where you consider what such an enhanced metabolism implies about the rest of spidey’s body and then work it into a spider’s irl behaviors to try and tie that together. you can end up with “irl spiders can last for weeks without food so spidey will still experience all the side effects of not eating for a long time but delayed a week or two later than a normal human” or you can end up with “spidey needs to eat almost constantly but their diet is partially blended foods because the constant eating would make them sick, also irl spiders don’t eat food whole” stuff like that is my bread and butter.
sometimes i try to think of how the smaller stuff is changed too like how fast does spidey’s hair grow now? i know accelerated aging isn’t a power but if a height change is a side effect of the bite, then if one didn’t have their wisdom teeth growing in before the bite, does that mean the teeth will grow in quicker (more pain) and need to be removed way earlier than expected? what about fingernail growth? the heart’s obviously stronger, but does that mean it’s also got to have more of an electrical output, and would also need way more of an input from a defibrillator if it stops??? what if it stops while out as a civilian, and the paramedics don’t know if they should go higher and risk killing an (what they think is) average human???
There’s just so many ways to explore side effects, like maybe spidey needs to drink a lot of coffee to feel any side effect bc of a fast metabolism, but is that the only change, or is the side effect (once there’s enough caffeine) always going to be them being extremely disorientated and sometimes shooting webs in awkward/useless spots???? just so much to consider ^3^
my heart knows your name: charles and erik have been broken up for years, occasionally falling into each other. things might change for good when erik lands himself in the ER where charles works. it’s all a bit of a hanukkah miracle.
Here’s our gift! To @spoopyblues214 ! It was such an honor to join @rottmnt-secret-gifting ‘s exchange and it was such a good way to jumpstart the holiday season! Hope y’all have a very spooky day/night! And to our gift receiver, we hope you enjoy this gift! :D
Though, here’s a gif version, it’s textured from the process, but I think it adds character to it :)
The username pop up was unnecessary, I know that now, but we couldn’t go back to fix it at the very last minute
I signed up for Secret Mutant Madness this year, and since the fics have now been de-anoned I can claim mine!
Drive You - Rating E. Charles/Erik. Erik's PTSD means that his head sometimes gets louder than he or Charles can bear. If Erik needs to get down on his knees to let go, then Charles is more than willing to help him do so. NSFW.
Search the Sky - Rating T. Charles/Erik. Loosely based on 101 Dalmatians, but with dragons.
8 to Infinity - Rating M. Charles/Erik. David 8 from the Alien series gets the Marvel treatment and is taken under Charles Xavier's wing. Includes action movie style prison break in Chapter 2.
It’s more TMNTtober 2023 prompts. Day 14 to 17 this time. I would've put day 18 here but I think it deserves to be on its own. I still like the design change I got going on for my AU 03 Splinter. Of course, no one beats the OG 03 rat dad.
Finding good color pallets for Tokka and Rahzar was kinda hard. Had to use a page from a movie tie-in comic and the Turtles Forever pic of them. It worked out in the end.
Yes, I tried to mix color pallets of Klunk before and after BTTS and boy the orange baby is adorable. I know they look an awful lot like Fireheart from Warrior Cats, but I say that's representation. (Yes this pose is from Kibbitzer. Just so you know.)
Could you guys imagine the drama if mad scientists had tumblr?

Just in case you haven't heard it today, it's totally valid to call yourself a doctor even if you dropped out of college! It's basically a mad scientist tradition at this point

Nah fuck this. I didn't spend years defining and documenting a scientific method of turning people into giant animal mutants through gene manipulation to get lumped in with some fresh faced collage dropout who just happened to stumble onto the secret to reanimating corpses. Words have meanings.
