....I Drew A Bill Jax Fankid....

Is she gossiping with a gal pal or lying to your face? Guess you'll never know

A friend of mine recommended that I practice backgrounds and I decided to try it out with a doodle from the last player 2 au post.

Not used to it at alllll. Still though, I think it came out alright.

A short add on to this, but because of both Splinter's fighting, the turtles promised each other that there would be as much open communication between them as possible. They didn't want to hate each other when they grew up like their father's/uncle's.

Mutant Mashup thingy

(This has been sitting in my drafts for months rip-)

Since all the turtles and even the Splinters and Aprils grew up in a very different environment, they would obviously act a little different. So here’s my ideas on how.

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest

Oldest to youngest (as said here) DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

Both DaVinci and Red were the protectors. However, DaVinci was more offensive and Red as was more defensive. This was because Red had to worry about accidentally hurting people due to his strength and was pretty intimidating as is, but DaVinci didn’t. So DaVinci is slightly more trigger happy and Red looks for more peaceful situations. It’s not a major change, but if they meet their canon counterparts they’d quickly release the differences. This ties into Red’s mystic abilities too, as his holograms are more shield focused then in canon. Niccolo and Orange and holding their entire families together. As said here, Niccolo would help calm his siblings and cousins down when the Splinters fought, and Orange already had a complex about this in canon. Neither of them would be able to do this on their own (with how big their family is now) so they work together to keep everyone happy (even if they aren’t).

I’ve noticed the 2012 boys are big on teasing each other while the Rise boys are a lot softer to each other (minus Blue and Purple). So I’d imagine in this dynamic they’d both be in the middle ground of their canon dynamics. The Rise boys tease each other a lot more but are still softer then canon 2012, but the 2012 are softer to each other but still tease each other more then canon Rise.

Blue and Simoni and “the face team.” Which mean Blue taught Simoni some manipulation tactics. Simoni still gets tricked by 2012 Chris Bradford, but that was because he was star-struck. He’s actually a lot better at people then in canon. Also, Blue is a lot more insecure about himself because he doesn’t have his “face man” thing to himself and feels he has even less worth :(

Sanzio is slightly better at controlling his anger because Red is teaching him some things, though he’s still angry all the time. Also, he’s a little bit nicer to his little bros because they released that there’s 5 of them and one of him.

Purple also has more self worth issues then in canon because in there, he based his identity off being “the tech guy.” But here, there’s someone else that can do tech. Also, he usually gets put in the “safer” places during missions because Yoshi was overprotective of him because of his soft-shell, and all the 2012 boys (and even the Rise fam to an extent) followed. I could imagine an episode plot where he snapped and goes off to do something really dangerous to prove himself. Maybe going with the other brothers who get babied (Simoni and Orange)

Orange canonically does ballet (see the lair games ep) so I feel like I’m this AU Sanzio would be the kind of sibling/cousin-who’s-basically-a-sibling who would absolutely pummel anyone who bullies his siblings. Also I can see Orange and Simoni both doing ballet so when Simoni starts using his strings he moves around on them in a sort of “dance-y” way.

Since Lou let them sneak off to the surface before Yoshi was ready to let them go, I’d imagine DaVinci has an absolutely unreal amount of “Space Heroes” merch.

Since Simoni can be repelled by Poka, I can imagine Purple has an entire library of “Music genres my siblings/cousins-who-are-basically-siblings don’t like.” The labs were filled with Poka after Simoni activated his mystic powers

Mighty no. 9 and Balan Wonderworld are far from the best or most polished games (I'm well aware that you can't even jump in Balan Wonderworld depending on power up), but I also can't help but adore the characters and come up with random bits of headcanons for em.

Don't really know why but I think I just like how these characters look? (Seriously, for as clunky as the gameplay for Balan Wonderworld was, you can't tell me that his design looked bad)

Mighty no. 9 also had the bosses show bits of personality and help Beck out depending on which Mighty Number you've defeated which I actually really liked. Not a hundred percent sure if we got that sort of thing in Megaman, but I thought it was nice. Makes the Mighty Numbers feel more like family members y'know? And I friggin LOVE family moments between robots. Their voices also had me laughing, they made me cringe and I loved em.

I can't get enough of the Balan Wonderworld art style either. It's so charming, I friggin love it. Not as much found family vibes, but they still got the loveable host that learns through observation vibes. That's enough for me to like the game, the characters at least.

(NOTE: Before anyone reads this, yes, it's out-dated. Especially my views on Balan. I'm allowed to like what I like. But this is not the way to go about it. You are allowed to like and dislike something based on your own opinion.. but at least give the games a try.)

(Another note: You're not obligated to read the sequel. But also, please do not harass anyone who likes or dislikes a game. That's petty.)

Me, who likes Balan Wonderworld and Mighty No. 9 AND is still a Gamer (albeit a Casual one): Yeah the game wasn't good, but it's still good to me.

Gamer who hates Balan Wonderworld: But it's bad tho??

Me: So? Go read Balan, if you want more story. *tosses book at the gamer who hates balan wonderworld*

Gamer who hates Mighty No. 9: What port did you play? Wii U? Wasn't that the worse port?

Me: Whilst I do agree with you that Mighty No. 9's Wii U port is the worst of the options available.. I still enjoy the game even after all these years.

Toxic Gamer: Fuck you then!! I'm gonna go back to my GTA!

Me: ...Okay? *sigh* Now, gamers, not all of you are like the three above. Only a fraction of you are. But like.. can a girl enjoy her games even if they are bad? Like, fuck, I LOVE Mega Man 8 unironically, and that (to most people) is the worst Mega Man game! And heck, I'll say it: I'll still be a Gamer, but I love to keep an open-mind about things! So I'll still be a Gamer, but I won't say I hate something just because of what everyone else says.. because that's stupid.

I caved and doodled DogDay with legs cause the boi deserves it.

Just a lil lad. (Correction: he is, in fact, a very large lad)

Y'all know the cardboard cutouts in Poppy Playtime?

I like to think that they're a small glimpse in those characters personalities, and what they would've been like if we'd been able to interact with them in-game. The cutouts also seem to indicate the sanity level of each Smiling Critter.

This'll be a long one, I'll see you at the end of you wanna read!

Spoilers:

Anyway, that means Bubba Bubbafant would've been outwardly friendly, yet still resentful of the player. He also might've been losing his sanity quickly, probably due to CatNap's gas.

"Hey! I remember you!.....An elephant always remembers!.......Want to know what I remember about you?........*Devolves into hysterical laughter/screams/glitches.*"

Had he been in the game as a Bigger Body experiment, I doubt he would go out of his way to help. He might've just hidden himself away like Kissy and Poppy, or fully lost it before he could try to help the player and got killed off.

Next is Kickin' Chicken. He's different in that he seems like he would've provided encouragement to the player, maybe even try and protect them.

"Wanna go outside and hang out?.... I've never been outside before.........Will you come with me? I'm scared.......Here, I'll step out first......*screams/glitches.*"

He also seems to have been killed off early, maybe he was even the first Critter to be killed. (He's embracing his inner Chica now-). I say this because, aside from DogDay, Kickin' Chicken seems the most sane in comparison to all the Critters.

CatNap's cut out doesn't have much other than breathing noises and snores that devolve into glitches.

Picky Piggy sounds sane, but I think she probably ate some of the other Critters. Probably Bubba Bubbafant, Kickin' Chicken, and Crafty Corn. If she could interact with the player, I think she'd be friendly at first before showing her true colors.

"Roast beef? Delicious!......Grilled chicken? Down the hatch!......Seared Elephant! Yum!......Flayed Unicorn? Mmmmm!.......Still hungry.....Hey, what do ya say you and I be friends?"

She definitely wouldn't have been helpful, and would've absolutely tried to eat the player.

I think Hoppy Hopscotch could've tried to help as a Bigger Body experiment, maybe a little pushy and impatient towards the player. Probably because she's desperate to escape.

"Wanna try hopping to the moon with me?.....On three with me!....1, 2, 3!...Heh, didn't get very far, did we?.....Listen, this won't stop until we make it to the moon!.....1, 2- No,no, don't look at your feet! None of that matters! Again! Again!.....Jump! JUUUU- *glitches out*"

She seemed to have a good heart and wanted to help but was likely taken out while escaping. I'd call her sane enough to be trusted, just desperate.

DogDay is certified best boy and definitely would've wanted to help you, even at the cost of his life/freedom. He knows this is a terrible place to be in and wants the player to leave as soon as possible.

"Go, go! As far as you can!......Why are you just standing there?.....You can't be here, you can't stay......*screams/glitches.*"

He knows he can't leave and encouraged the player go. He sounds sad when he speaks. Would likely be the last Critter to stick by the players side no matter what.

Crafty Corn up next! She seems very focused on painting and almost definitely killed someone because she was out of red.

"Pass me the blue please!.....Thanks! Now can you give me some red?.....Out? But we can't be out..... You're hiding more red from me......I know you are.....GIVE IT HERE *glitchy screams*

Yeah, I wouldn't really trust her. She'd be fine by herself or if the player gives her all the materials she asks for, but Crafty would've probably gotten agitated and attacked quickly.

Finally, Bobby Bearhug! She comes across as super loving, but also clingy and desperate for an escape. Sounding a little unhinged at times. If the player could've interacted with her, she might've clung to them, possibly even protected them if they convinced her that she could go with them.

"I love you to the moon and back!..... I'm crazy about you!.....I'm lost without you.....I've been lost a long time......Please, take me with you this time?.....You won't leave me, will you?!."

She sounds like she's lonely and craves companionship. Her cutout is actually the only one that doesn't end in glitches or screams so I think the player could've trusted her. She might've had a fragile mental state, but I don't think she would've tried to kill you.

Thanks for reading til the end! Stay safe!

I know I said I'd post render experiments but I just have to get this specific thought out.

It's basically Zero hating himself to such a degree that he refuses to say or do anything nice for himself which explains his complete lack of self preservation. And it gets worse.

How, you may ask? All the built up stress culminates to the point where Zero can't contain it anymore. He has a breakdown similar to when he was first awakened and cannot be brought out of it by himself. I won't go into detail, but I will say that Zero hurt himself, badly. Partially by accident, mostly on purpose.

Is that ooc? Yes. Did I daydream an entire arc revolving around Zero healing and growing into not just a functional person, but a good one? Also yes.

I should probably get into writing it in AO3 or something. I could go into far more detail, but I also visualize a lot of what's happening. Idk I'll just see what comes first once I finally have free time to myself.

Something a little different

Cult of the Lamb has been peaking my interest lately and wanted to shove my favorite brother sister duo into it.

I wanted to draw Rock and Roll as the Lamb and the Goat respectively, but their regular hair colors just looked off so I left them with white and gray hair.

Also, yes I did chop off a lot of Roll's hair, what of it?

I think at some point I'll swap them so that Rock has his regular hair color and Roll has her blonde hair back. Of course it'll be like a platinum blonde but whatever.

Did anybody else notice that Freddy's bow changes to a purple one when he gets upgraded with Chica's voice box?

Also, is no one gonna point out that Freddy's icon at the entrance has YELLOW and PURPLE colors instead of something blue or orange?

Finally got some motivation after looking at an unfinished doodle.

It's still about the turtles because that's what my life has become. The Mutant Mashup Au just isn't leaving me alone so I decided to post lil doodles about the smarties of the family and some explanations too.

The first two doodles were drawn with Nico and Purple's rocky relationship in mind and what that might look like.

Nico is kinda nervous cause he doesn't really know why Purple became distant and doesn't want to make things worse. He hopes that at least Metal Head and Shelldon will get along.

In the second one Purple is angry and turns away from Niccolo, though it mostly serves as a mask to cover up his insecurities. He's not even sure who he's mad at, himself or his cousin. Nico turns away even though he doesn't want to. He wants to fix whatever broke between them, but he knows Purple isn't in the mood for a chat, so he leaves him alone.

Third and fourth doodle is just Nico having a stress headache and DaVinci helping to make it easier. I imagine holding the entire family together by remaining calm is a lot to ask for, even more so if you're also the person everyone goes to when they wanna vent. In a way, Nico takes on a role similar to Red. They both try to be strong enough to carry their family, Red takes on the physical burden and acts as a shield, as he believes that's what he's good at. While Nico carries the emotional burdens of the Hamato's. In this scenario, Orange is the one pushing everyone to work though their issues so thankfully, Nico doesn't get stress headache's often.

The rest of the doodles are just some happy moments between Purple and Niccolo. They probably happen after their heart to heart moment while in the clutches of Big Mama and the Purple Dragons.

If you read all that, thank you!!! Stay safe!!
