The Brains and The Brawn - Epilogue 2 - The End cover/table of contents, <–previous

——————-

Time for Raph to receive some comfort and assurances. I love these two so much! And with the two bros now together and whole, I bring this comic to an end!

So, there you have it! Finally, the conclusion to “The Brains and The Brawn!” It’s been quite the journey making this! Truth be told, I’m a little sad to end it, but I feel super accomplished and proud of how it turned out! The support and love I’ve received from everyone has been amazing! I honestly didn’t expect this many people to like what I assumed was a rather niche character team-up. But it makes me so happy that everyone seemed to enjoy the journey as much as I did! Thank you so much for reading! Much love to you all!

Mr. and Mrs. Dovecote 🕊️🐍

Well, how did this happen, how did these two, Clemensia and Festus end up with each other?

Definitely not on the first sight or first anything, Festus was married to Persephone for years after graduating from university and during the following years of Coriolanus's rise to power. Yet not every teen romance lasts forever, both of them divorced on good terms or so they thought with Festus developing a drinking habit believing it was his fault/failure. The fatal day both he and Clemensia met again was during a party at the presidential estate

Clemmie was to first to notice that something wasn't alright with him and she was there for him during that time after realizing that her old irrational academy friend got himself into a fatal situation. She became his helping hand, spending more time with him than anyone else and everything from that point is a natural cause of events. He proposed to her after 2 years and took the surname Dovecote beside the common norm.🕊️

______________

Festus is now not allowed to be near alcohol within a 70-foot radius, always equipped with water.

The little tiny bean in the middle is Augustus or short August. Clemensia's “only addition to the capital society” is how she phrases it with humor. August is a lovely quite smart curious boy who loves to learn new things on his own. He’s 6 years old, born in September three months after Rosie who he is close to, even childhood best friends 🌹

The Dovecotes are the closest family to the Snows, with Clemmie regularly being over to tell Lucy Gray everything thats been going on while the kids play. It’s almost considered gossip with the first lady feeling bad that it is entertaining.

The brains and the brawn, Strawberry and grape, Smol and tol. I love them so much.💜❤

What if, after everything that transpired with Leo in the season 2 finale, Raph got determined to become a medic too and asked Donnie to "train" him to become one too? Donnie seems to be the medic in the 12 universe and it can never hurt to have two medics on the team. And personally I've never seen a "medic Raph" headcanon before and it's interesting to think about.👀

Family story time.

Little something rather than doodles about the au about 2003 Don and Raph with 2012 turtle kids. What to say anymore, Don likes to read to kids while Splinter enjoys his own time meditating or something.

Fun fact: I almost lost interest on this pic, just because the file that I used for this got corrupted... And lost two days of work in swoop.. luckily had it somehow in this stage saved as preview so.. uh got it finished but now I don't like that art program anymore.. or that much anyways. Gotta find something else to draw with now, I don't want that to happen again.

More Brains/Mary Sprites :D

I'll explain what they're for later on!

(Character belongs to Yoobii)

I've seen the shippers tag the girls as "Chamika," which is very ghettocute and I love that for them, but I will be tagging all of my Mika × Chapa things with "Chaka," because that's a name I loved already and I shall be doing it.

The Brains and The Brawn - Epilogue 1 cover/table of contents, <–previous, next–>

——————-

One of two epilogues! Back in the lair after the fact, and here we have a couple of bros up past their bedtime...

I went back to a sketchy style for this one because I think it works well for an epilogue aesthetic. I think it makes for more raw emotions sometimes to do it this way. Hope you like it!

Some brain and brawns duo?

They deserved more screen time together

[idiot-mushroom]

i think they should knit together

Little warm up doodles from the au I'm working on, it's going on about 2003 x 2012 when 2003 Don and Raph got into alternative universe where they met the other turtles and their Splinter. This is just some shenanigans I imagined they'll do together.

Like in example adult Don and little Donnie share the same interests and read a lot together about science and math. With little Raph.. it's more complicated, they boy stick like a glue at the genius from the first moment, whenever Don is staying up late or had so many late nights in his lab, lil Raph will come and crave attention from him, they have common ground on that Don will stop things whenever they boy visits. With Mike.. Don loves that boy and lets him do whatever he wants, even tie a bow in his mask tails. I'm not sure about the relationship between Don and little Leo though, need to work that one.

Like on the other hand adult Raph had rocky start with little Mike but in the end he'll protect that little boy with his whole life. With Leo he'll watch anything what the boy wants even Space heroes. With little Don I'm not sure yet. Little Raph sees the adult version more as a mentor on how to control the anger and seek guidance on it, though when he is grown up I'm sure they'll have those brawling matches.

If you have any ideas what they would do, please tell, I'm open to ideas as there are some things in the open that I've not thought of yet.

And still haven't got an idea for the name of the au, oh well need to think about it too.
