no one here to talk about how raph’s sense of self-preservation vs self-sacrifice is directly tied to how it affects the safety of his family and i resent that
leo gets dropped off a building, raph all but throws himself after him to catch him, no real plan, just desperation. shadow of evil, he sees they’re way outnumbered, he literally picks his entire family up and runs.
battle nexus new york he posts himself over donnie as a personal shield against shredder
shreddy or not, not only is he the second mvp of the initial brawling (gram gram is of course biggest mvp) putting it all on the line THROWING HIMSELF at shredder, saving bacon left and right with like zero regard for his own safety. he then has to buckle down and make the choice to get his brothers to safety TWICE while leaving people behind in the span of a couple of minutes, and he looks so absolutely torn up about it
in the movie, he’s the one who sees them getting their butts handed to them in the first kraang showdown and calls for the retreat/escape pods! and then he puts himself on the line saving leo’s life, getting hurt in the process, then getting leo out safely and being captured in the process.
and i think it’s so interesting that like. when he knows his family made it home safe in one piece, when he’s alone in enemy hands and sister kraang is straight up like “let’s kill him already he won’t tell you anything,” raph is just like. “yeah, she’s right.” no trying to stall for time or argue back.
like his sense of self-preservation and i think overall worth really is SO so directly tied to his family’s safety. which makes it hurt even harder to see his mind and autonomy get violated and used to hurt them imo

"Welcome home, good Hunter. What is it you desire?"— The Doll
Zombie setting where the undead are drawn towards unhygienic scents, so survivors constantly bathe to avoid being eaten.
Zombies are docile when adorned with flowers.
Settlements overgrown with herbs and flora.
Barely any banditry; everyone is focused on farming and gathering.
Different human factions and towns named after flowers like Lilies, Orchids, Roses, etc.
Instead of immediately killing an infected survivor, they’re given special funeral rites - the zombie is covered with flowers to keep them calm, and allowed to walk out from the settlement to join the hordes.
Apocalypse Seer Twins comic (title tbd) part 1
START (You are here) - PREVIOUS (None) - NEXT (not yet)
Anyways, welcome to the start of "Donnie has a waking vision in the middle of the apocalypse for the first time while they're on mission" comic. I'm not sure how long this will be but it will probably go through Leo yelling at Donnie once he wakes up, so it will at least be that long.
the only reason this took so long to come out was b/c i got stuck on the stupid krang monster at the end. I have since given up on drawing them properly so have a pink krang-like blob instead.
(masterpost for the curious)
I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Note: Tumblr was acting weird, so I had to delete my old account and create a new blog under the same name. I'll be reposting a couple of my old artworks here (including this piece)!
