Yo Drácula wanting all human life dead after they killed his wife is honestly so valid

Wait, wait, wait, okay, so in your "Leo's design" post, you mentioned that Mikey had an idea of how to fix up Leo's old tattered mask. Then, in your "Donnie's dynamic" post, Leo's got his brothers' colors braided into his mask tails (which looks, just, so cool btw). Was this what you meant???

Yes!!

One of my favorite things about Leo's design in the movie is that he has Donnie and Raph's masks tied to his sword.

I decided that in my au, when Leo's Mikey 'disappeared' in his timeline, Leo held on to his baby brother's mask the same way.

Jump to a few (several) years later, and Leo's mask was in desperate need of repairs.

And so (with the aid of Splinter's sewing skills) Mikey thought it would be a fun idea to combine all of the masks Leo carried around together.

I like to think that Mikey chose to incorporate all four masks into one just because he thought it would look cool, not necessarily because they belonged to Leo's brothers (though that was definitely part of the decision process.)

For Leo?

It meant the world to him. Those are the last things he has of his past life, the last tie he has to his brothers. And now they'll always be with him, forever by his side, even if separated by death.

These kinds of things are what make Leo wonder what he ever did to deserve getting a second chance of being with his loved ones again.

Back in Action!

I once saw @dreamweave01 say that the Woven Ties gang would get back into crime-fighting someday, and this image popped into my head and has stayed there rent free ever since. It would take time, but I really like the idea of all of them eventually healing enough to not only start vigilantism again, but also enjoy it!

I have enjoyed this AU so very much, you have no idea. The story, the characters and their designs, the art, the writing: It's all fantastic!

Presenting: The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie VHS: Clamshell Edition!

Okay, so I have been dying to share this project since I completed it last November, but I've been waiting until I was a little more active on my socials. And now I am!

I was inspired by thecolinstein on instagram to make this. I found his version back in 2023 and I wanted to buy it, but then I thought, hey, I could just make my own how I want it! With a clamshell case! How hard could it be?

Very hard, as it turns out.

That's not to discourage anyone from trying themselves. There were just a lot of roadblocks unique to my own process. Like the fact that I went through, like, five tapes recording the video file because I thought they were bad tapes. Nope, it was my stupid "smart" tv trying to automatically adjust the aspect ratio that was making the picture black out periodically. And before I got a computer that DIDN'T take 1 million years to boot up, it was difficult to design the cover and labels too.

Here's the playback:

Yes, I did record it at (almost) full aspect ratio, not 4:3, but 1.85:1 because that's how I'd watch it (I didn't want cropping on certain scenes and I REALLY didn't want letterboxing). And those glitchy parts on CJ's face are from my phone's camera, not the recording itself (you have no idea the heart attack I had before I double-checked lol)

Now, obviously since there's nothing on the tape to say that this is just a fanmade product, I will NOT be recreating this VHS for sale, not like thecolinstein (he has disclaimers on his). I'm not sure of the legality of selling my version. My whole intent was to simply make it look like the real deal, like you could find this in a garage sale bargain pile and believe it might have once been widely distributed. Also, I cannot be bothered to try taping the video file again, you can't make me lol. This was just a passion project. But I do hope I've inspired someone else!

Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?

Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.

Finding anyone that could match their style!! Who's your favorite rock band?

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

JAVIER BARDEM in JAMÓN, JAMÓN (dir. Bigas Luna, 1992)

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).
