What Vivaldi Wrote

Been a while so have a silly Omega and CJ moment!

Been super busy trying to finish up the latest Replica update! Only a few pages left to go of nearly 30 pages! I can't wait to have it completed, but I need to take a little break and draw something silly. Thank you @mishacakes for the inspiration!

Brothers across the multiverse

I am just reveling in this artist's "extended stay au" in which Don sticks around in the SAINW timeline for YEARS before re-apparating back home with his family. Oh, man. I cannot get enough. Gratitude to yellowhollyhock for reblogging this into my life.

we're ignoring how I'm posting this at 1 am

The Brood

An Abundance of Angels (I'm so hyped for Tales Angel, she's already so important to me)

More turtles are coming your way!

Leo, you zodiac sign girlie

I redesigned/remade my 2003tmnt future au!

This takes place after Casey Marie is born (April and Casey’s daughter!) and her uncles come to visit

Leo: shortly after the canonical series finale, Leo decides to go and live in 03Usagi’s dimension after reconciling with Usagi.

Raph: Remember that dimension he was sent to in the episode “Across the Universe”? He becomes a professional motorcycle racer there! Don’t ask how, it just happened

Don: Co-owns O’Neil Tech (as stated by the series)

Mike: Joins the Justice Force for realzies! (After MUCH convincing lol)

And here we go. For the full experience I would recommend reading while listening to THIS SONG. It inspired a vast majority of the scene as well as the timing, though I fear you'd have to read pretty fast to get to the ending at the same time as the song ends, so uh... good luck! Trigger warnings below:

The Day the Sky Bled Red

Whew. I'm so glad to finally be done with these big updates. After over a year I will finally be able to return to my smaller update format.

Some keen viewers might notice the reuse of certain shots from the series. There is very much intentional, though the reason for this will not be made clear until the ending of the arc.

As of the final shot we are FINALLY back to present-day in the Replica timeline (if it wasn't obvious). I'd drop in a timeline for reference but uh... I maxed out on the Tumblr images. Oh well. Hopefully the context clues were enough to help though!

I do want to take a moment to TED Talk about Raph's ninpo, if that's alright. Unlike his brothers, Raph didn't really spend much time trying to come up with unique ways of using his abilities. Why improve what already worked for him? However, I do think one interesting ability could have come naturally to him over time. I always found his way of mentally connecting with his brothers as "Mind Raph" to be a fascinating joke in the series. They way he could help and communicate with his brothers is something that was always really important to him and I see that ability bleeding into his ninpo. Because of this I feel that his Raph clones were always able to find and reach his brothers no matter the distance. His ability to interact with them at the same time was something he was still learning in the series, like when Mind Raph apologized to Leo for taking a moment too long to respond because he was busy helping someone else. Because of this I see his clones being able to react and communicate independently (kind of like Naruto clones), but are in constant connection to the original source, Raph himself. This made it really easy for Raph to relay information to the brothers, though it was seldom needed since Donnie's ninpo tech normally had that covered. On another note, I also wanted to make a point that whenever one of the brothers died in the bad future timeline, it was when they were separated from their brothers. I always liked in the movie how it wasn't until the brothers worked together that they were able to regain their abilities, confront the Krang, and even open portals to different dimensions. I wanted that lesson to resonate in Replica as well, even if subtly. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk!

The rest of the arc will be a lot less action, but still plenty more emotions. I can't promise that we won't be doing more flashbacks in the future but nothing to the extent of the "Holiday Special." We got a story to get through after all!

Thank you so much everyone for your patience with me as I slowly inch my way through this big story. It means a lot to me! I promise the next update will not be so emotionally draining.
