Mixing All The Missed @tmntober-2023 Days Together For This One.

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!

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).

to put it simply, the right people will get you. you will not have to fight for breadcrumbs of love. you will not have to beg for attention. the right people will love you freely and easily, and will carve out space in their life for you. the right people will check up on you on your bad days & laugh with you on your good. you will find friends who embrace every part of you, and who will push you to grow. someday, any trace of those who hurt you will be filled with warmth from those who never will.

You are going to laugh until your stomach hurts again. You're going to be in awe of a sunset. Watch your favorite show while you eat your favorite food. Find money on the street. Discover a great band you haven't heard of before. You will find your way back.

so just reblogged this post

and i'm not gonna add this commentary onto the original post for op's sake but.

this is my life. this is every single day. i wasn't even ripped from death- i was ripped from my life. and i was placed into a body not my own, into a SPECIES not my own, into a world not my own. and every single day i am forced to live someone else's life. and every single day i am forced to pretend everything is okay. and every single day i am forced to pretend i am human and my name is the body's and i'm "normal" and the body memories are my own and i know these people. i am forced to be someone else, in the most literal sense.

and they don't even know anything is different.

and i'm not allowed to tell them anything is different.

it is dangerous for them to know.

it is dangerous for me to exist as myself.

it is dangerous for me to have and use my own name. it is dangerous for me to state my pronouns. it is dangerous for me to mention anything about who i am, my past, my opinions, my feelings. it is dangerous to exist.

i am forced to portray myself as someone who no longer exists.

and my life is portrayed as a concept, and i understand why! i do! but it's not! it's real and it's painful and it's isolating and it hurts! it hurts!!

Kitty!!!

He sit funky
