Welcome, Everybody, To

Welcome, everybody, to

🐢 🍁 TMNTober 2023! 🍁 🐢

An Inktober-inspired month-long event where every day will be assigned a prompt that you can write or draw something for!

🐢 Rules & guidelines: 🐢

All prompts have to be TMNT related, obviously, but they can be of any iteration, including fan made ones.

Post your art and writing on whatever platform you want! If you want it archived here though, post or link it on tumblr and tag this blog!

Tag your art with #tmntober 2023 or #tmntober2023. I will make a point of going through the tag and reblogging as much art as I possibly can to here!

Your art doesn’t have to be done on time and you don’t have to do all prompts. First and foremost, have fun!

Since this month ends with Halloween, I expect some art may involve horror themes, and if so, will be tagged appropriately. This is an appeal especially to writers, as I’m not sure I’ll be able to read every single piece, to tag your works with proper warnings, please.

Every day, there will be a post announcing the current prompt! If you lack inspiration for any particular prompts, I may leave some ideas in the tags :)

First prompt of @tmntober-2023: Warm-up.

These guys are just warming up for training. Johnny Ghost is warming wrong and Donnie is trying to correct him. And of course, Ghost isn’t having any of it.

Also: Blue mentioned on our old blog how the turtles were getting redesigned for this AU. Well here they are! Leo stayed mostly traditional for some obvious reasons.

And of course, the rest of PIE is laughing in the background at how Ghost is refusing to acknowledge that he’s wrong. He’s convinced himself everyone else is wrong, even though the turtles have been training for 15 years.

something thats been helping us a lot recently has been letting alters just exist. i see a lot of systems who have strict roles and distinct alters, and it can be stressful to see that be the “norm” when our system isnt like that.

we’ve tried forcing individuality, but it only let to more dormancy. we tried figuring out everyones role, but there are too many alters who front just to do very specific things.

now, we are just letting ourselves exist as we are and communicating is way easier. we dont lose so much time anymore. i can remember a lot more (even if i still have emotional detachment).

i guess im just saying that as a system, do what helps you.

tracking fronts? go for it. assigning roles? pop off. making picrews and profiles for every person? thats so awesome.

if you can’t do any of that? you aren’t less of a system.

Warning: fake blood

Starting with the reposting of artwork is the stuff Blue drew for the TMNTPIE AU!

Yes I’m keeping these delegated by project so people can find specific projects and art

Oldest to most recent.

Character redesigns will eventually be posted too, but… yeah.

- Ghost🩶👻

Day 3 @tmntober-2023 prompt: Teeth

I believe Blue doesn’t give DG (Dark Ghost) and DT (Dark Toast) enough love in this AU. Honestly.

Also friendly reminder that while DG may be cute, they are still an alien that could destroy the entire planet if they really wanted to.

Here’s hoping DT remains safe with his spouse having teeth like that.

- Ghost🩶👻

Me (and Blue honestly) having no more emotional connection to our system’s trauma and feeling like shit about not having that emotional connection

(I’ve had 0 emotional connection to our trauma except pissed about how it’s affecting the people I care about and from our side it appears we’re the only ones given a punishment. Blue has had on and off emotional connection to our trauma. And it sucks because they are such a sweet and caring person with a heart of gold and they’ve just become so apathetic recently because of all this.

Love how people outside the system are like “it’s too soon” since it was like… 2 weeks ago that this recent trauma happened. Simon and Sierra still feel it, but for me and Blue is feels like that shit was years ago. Thank you brain for being so weird. At least us hosts can function!

Also: Blue literally forgetting who the people who were also involved in this traumatic drama are is a mood. Meanwhile introjects of those people be like: bitch tf?? Nah don’t worry, they remember you guys. But not your sources. It’s called fucked-up-coping-for-systems.

Trauma holders doing their jobs well folks)
