Fun Fact: Before Jenny Ghost And Jenny Toast Became Actual Characters, We Discussed Genderbent Versions

Fun fact: before Jenny Ghost and Jenny Toast became actual characters, we discussed genderbent versions of the Johnnies in our old friend groups in middle school! (2015-2016-ish). We were even the ones who came up with the name Jenny for them amongst our friends. They were only ever ideas we came up with to make ToastedGhost a reality because we acknowledged that the siblings were Christian and very unlikely to implement the Johnnies together as canon outside of some jokes here and there.

That’s right! If comments weren’t turned off I would find the old comments Blue had left on videos from our old YouTube account (deleted because our old email is no longer connected to google…) asking them to make Jenny Ghost and Jenny Toast a reality. Because I swear that happened. I know it wasn’t just us who left those comments, but it’s funny to think about how we were adamantly discussing spamming Venturiantale with comments about Jenny Ghost and Jenny Toast with our friends in 7th grade.

And then our friend Nathalie coming up to us one day and exclaimed excitedly that the Jennies were now canon and how excited we all were about that.

Just some fun little fun facts about the few body memories we have.

We single-handedly created the Jennies /j

I have a question about your mutant Toast:

Is he able to be petted?

Technically, yes he can! But definitely not at first.

Toast was mutated by a different mutagen than what mutated the turtles and was used to make Spooker. This mutagen was created by his “dad” and accidentally created this horrible outbreak of mutants that the Utrom and Ninja Tribunal were unable to control (unlike the previous outbreaks which resulted in the turtles).

When Toast is first mutated, he’s in an immense state of panic, fear, and pain. He didn’t know what was going on, and the mutation was extremely painful and slow. It took a few hours for him to fully mutate. So, because of that, he acts more like a frightened wild animal. He recognizes people later and tries to protect them, but at first he’s in “I’m in danger and everything is a threat” mode.

However, after some time for him to calm down and realize he’s not in any danger (which is a lie honestly because Bishop then comes in to experiment on him) he becomes a lot more docile and is able to actually speak and act more human. Of course, this takes awhile because now he has to relearn how to speak due to a change in vocal chords.

But yes, after the initial danger of everything is over he can be petted and does enjoy pets (though he’s never actually admit to it).

Mixing all the missed @tmntober-2023 days together for this one.

From left to right and top to bottom we have:

Day 17: Roots; which shows a broken picture of Bishop, Gavin, and Toast when Gavin and Toast were younger

Day 13: Devour; which shows Mikey eating pizza

Day 14: Press Start!; which shows Raph and Ghost playing a video game together with Mikey looking smug in the background

Day 11: Glitch; which is the drawing that held us back from this actually. It was hard to think about what to draw for this one. So we drew Gavin, which works because he is considered to have some sort of “glitch” about him since he didn’t turn out how Bishop intended

Day 15: Try Again?; which shows that Mikey pulled the plug on the game and Raph and Ghost are about to fight him

Day 12: Dance; which is Jimmy and his weapon because for him fighting is a lot more of a dance he enjoys

And lastly: Day 16: OC Spotlight; so we drew Sam Ghost, Julie Ghost, Dark Ghost, and Dark Toast as the four of them are OC’s related to this AU!

It’s nice to see this AU getting recognition! Blue has worked really hard on this and their other stories! It’s good to see their stuff actually being liked by people outside of us!

For a positivity vibe today, reblog with one good thing that’s happened recently, no matter how small! Yummy meal? Got some sleep? Saw some fall leaves? Pet loves you in particular? Found a good story?

I’d love to hear!

Do more of what makes you happy. Prioritize yourself, put yourself and your health and wellbeing first. You're not selfish, this is how you survive. How you feel better. You can do whatever you want. You don't constantly have to slave away to make others happy because that's the "noble" thing to do. You're not "very kind" or "super caring" at this point, you are neglecting yourself, you are ruining your health. Start putting yourself first today.

all your stuffed animals love you. they're not sad if they're in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don't have enough space. they're just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they'll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it's okay.
