Is this gonna be a good or bad end au?
The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....
With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...
Animal Tamer!!
Abel!
Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.
There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.
This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.
Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.
Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).
Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!
Had fun brainstorming, now imma try and draw something related to this (take a look at the messages pls me and @possumsarenice had fun)
I’ve seen some people make some “What if the 2012 and 2018 turtles switched and grew up in the others’ world” AUs, but imagine if you will “2012 or 2018 Splinter has eight sons instead of four” aka, Splinter bought the 2012 AND 2018 turtles in the pet store or in 2018 Barron Draxum added 4 more turtles to his roster. In either universe the eight grow up as siblings. That is some chaos I’d love to see
Glad you like the boi I had a fun time making him. The animal tamer theme was a small reference to Abel's original role in the bible, y'know a shepherd? (He herded sheep but shhh) The hoop for a head at first was to just to make him look different from Caine but I realized later that it could also be a reference to those hoops that big cats are trained to jump through in actual circuses. Believe it or not but if you pay attention, this Abel has the same heterochromia eyes Caine does just color flipped. One last thing about my version of Abel is that his relationship with Caine is a lot like responsible younger sibling and impulsive older sibling but both are the same level of chaotic silliness somehow.
I also like your Able too, he's a vengeful lil lad. But that's for a good reason so I understand why. Kinda wonder if Caine feels sorry or if the cast ever finds out. They'd be maaaad.
Would it be alright if I draw both our guys together?

I fully intended to just do the colors but I had too much fun shading the twinks
Just thought of something for the boi's.
Whenever Purple gets sick, he tries to power through it and usually goes straight to working on one of his projects. Von Ryan over here hates getting sick, everything feels awful, his nose is congested, and the increase in temperature makes him feel gross. Not a great time in his humble opinion.
Luckily! He gets caught by the Medic Duo-
This time Sanzio caught Blue eating his snacks and proceeded to give chase until they both heard Purple sniffle. It's all good though.
They make a great team when the fam needs help.
Nothing too special, but I liked it too much not to post it
Did Fefnir do something dumb and drop flour on the floor they just helped Rock and Roll clean, or did they commit a crime?
Guess you'll never know.
The promised art of Roll's kid, but as a guardian like her cousins.
I was rushing with this one but I still think it turned out all right. I was really trying to make Opera look like the Four Guardians but I think somethings off.
Maybe it's the black? Or the pink? Should I use a different main color?
I'll probably do a redraw and shift her colors around. Omg what if Roll made her siblings and they're all the colors of the rainbow???
I came up with an idea for the Mutant Mashup AU that's both cute and sad at the same time?
Basically, Niccolo (2012 Donnie) does funny voices and songs for his brother's and cousins. Simoni (2012 Mikey) and Orange (Rise Mikey) in particular love it when Nico sings or does the voices cause it made them laugh a lot when they were younger. That was needed especially when Yoshi and Lou got into a fight or something and the boys wanted a distraction for a bit. Little man could do lots of voices too! He could have a whole conversation with several different voices talking, Blue (Rise Leo) and Purple (Rise Donnie) try to get Nico to say the most random things ever. The disaster twins and Sanzio (2012 Raph) seem to love the way he says ✨"Croissant"✨ Red (Rise Raph) tries not to laugh but he cracks pretty easy. DaVinci (2012 Leo) and Purple loved learning about the world as kids and frequently asked Nico if he could sing the "Countries of the World" song, that one was their favorite. Little DaVinci also loved the "alien" voice Nico did.
Nico himself loves making his family laugh with the funny voices and while he doesn't do it as much as a teenager, he's still very willing to speak in silly voices and songs if they ask.
Which is why he was belting out silly songs at 4 am to Simoni after the events of "The Power Inside Her." DaVinci and Sanzio hung around him more often but Simoni was especially clingy, Sanzio didn't let 2012 April near Nico for a few days. Purple and Blue were also kinda on the fence about her seeing their cousin but they eventually relented when Rise April and 2012 Casey talked to them.
First ask post ever 🎉🎊
What I think about constantly is the fact that many fictional heroes both in the past and present each have varying states of psychological trauma. That line of thinking then led me to come up with a character that was basically a surprisingly chill, passive aggressive, 4th wall breaking therapist that is aware of just how much the heroes have gone through.
Like seriously, I vividly daydream about this character lecturing out of concern to characters like...idk Marinette Dupain-Cheng or hell even Leonardo from TMNT.
I also can't help but see the character as a bartender for...reasons?
i like a lot of things. fair warning, I have very sporadic updates. worry not, I'm not dead.
