“Our family has suffered enough. Let our legacy of sacrifice come to an end.”

…

“Promise me that none of you will ever sacrifice yourselves by using a mystical sword to trap yourselves in an inescapable prison realm in order to seal away a great evil like I did.”

……

“Boys? What is it? Boys?”

——

AKA a very specific family tradition featuring Leo’s boba tea, a ghost, and these facial expressions:

@somerandomdudelmao I've listened to this song thousands of times and couldn't find the right thing to draw It with... At least until 3 days ago when I was reading your latest comic XD

And I would also like to say that Donnie isn't sad that he's dying , he's angry. He's angry at the Kraang, the Apocalypse, and his inability to save himself. If the Kraang hadn't started the apocalypse, none of the pain he and his family had to go through would exist.

And yes technically he is sad, but not for himself. He grieves for his family that he knows won't survive without him. And he accepts that, he accepts that eventually his family will die because he wasn't there.

And yet, he is happy.

Because he was able to meet and love his family. This comic was ultimately Donnie accepting everything that has happened to him, and that he will not longer be able to experience those things anymore (Physically, at least).

Apologies if this doesn't make a lot of sense that's just how my thought process works 😅.

But damn Cass, you bring a lot of feelings to this world, and I wouldnt have it any other way. (/Pos)

Also this was the first comic I've posted on Tumblr!! YIPPEE!!!!!!

Self rebolg to check if this posted

Here's a piece of art for my AU on AO3! The story is called Something's wrong...

yeah so I’ve been using the peppermint brush on procreate and made angst with it (???) *Blood /dismemberment warning*

Bro I didn’t even flip the canvas it looks like garbage lol

Idk why Raph’s arms are there. Idk guys I’m a little unhinged I just came back from a 7 hr event and it’s 2:20 AM

sketching out this idea

Tw: blood

Womp womp

so some of y’all liked the angst in my last post so uh here’s more ig (I get rid of negative emotion through scribbles so don’t mind me)

also my hands shake like it’s Friday so ignore wobbly lines

More info under da cut

(Origin of this whole idea below)

also his mask disintegrated lolll

So basically Leo is snatched and used as the energy source for the shredder. I feel like they would pick the blue goober since he’s probably the strongest both physically and ninpo-wise. Also I like to put him through the horrors

In main canon Draxum comes out the suit grinder all shriveled and weak, but due to Leo’s shell taking a lot of pressure, a lot of energy would be sucked from his poor innards, causing his lungs to collapse. He’s not as strong as draxum sooo yeah uehehe

poor Raph. He’s so scared for baby blue

Don’t worry, he’s fine. Nobody died. Lol I feel bad for making something this dark

who wants a super short fluff comic? :>

Lol just kidding

also here’s this so you’re not as sad

POV you don’t survive prison place

ROTTMNT animation from maybe half a year ago cause I still like how it turned out :]

*i take a bite of this art*

*it stabs me in the roof of my mouth like a dorito that was eaten the wrong way*

*cries, but eats it anyways*

Have some angst *poof*

Edit: to be continued....

VERY LOUD SOBBING

Okay so this is rushed.. but this series has inspired me so much i have another animatic that I’ve been working on for 3 weeks on its way. Just had to poop something out quickly to post because I felt like it. Go read @somerandomdudelmao comic!

TW: character death, sibling death

So what if…

lmao anyway don’t kill me xd

For Cass Apocalyptic Series

SOBS INTO THE GROUND

jrkgfjekgskg I've always headcanonned that Leo and Mikey had a pretty strained relationship after Donnie and Raph died, and that they fought a lot, but this still wrenched my heart out and stomped on it

Hate is a strong word.

comfort

I just saw this?!?!

Like, I’m sure we all know that something happened to Raph and Donnie, but I’m pretty sure this confirms they’re dead. But we also never saw anything?! Like, those are their masks! What type of angst did we get offscreen?! I wanna know!

Hello handsome/beautiful! Hope you had a good nights rest and ate/drank something! I wanted to know if you will be doing a part two to that AMAZING Leo angst you did cause honestly I just need more after that cliffhanger, its alright if you don't do one! Just wanted to know! Hope you have a good day =D

Also thank you! I'm so glad so many people enjoyed that fic so much! <333

Bottom of the deep blue pt 2

You sighed, you couldn’t sleep with this overbearing feeling of dread looming over you, making it impossible to relax your tense body. So here you were making yourself a cup of coffee at three in the morning, you suspected you weren’t going to be getting any sleep anyways. You throw your head back with an exaggerated groan, rubbing your heavy eyes hoping to rid the ghost of sleep that hung over you.

You stammered out of your small kitchen, stumbling and tripping over the large blanket that had been swathed around your figure, you hobbled your way into the living room, the icy air wrapping its hand around your throat. You felt the cold clawing at your backside, as your vent continued to mercilessly blow cold air into the already freezing room.

You let your body sink into the velvety cushion, wrapping the blanket tighter around your body. As you flipped on the Tv toggling through channels, absentmindedly.  

You felt your eyes begin to grow heavier, it became harder to keep your eyes open, focused on the Tv in front of you. You allowed your eyes to sink into the somber, melancholy feeling of sleep. The soft tapping of rain pouring against your apartment balcony.  But there was something different about this tapping. It was lucid.

Clink.

What was that sound? It was so familiar

Clink.

You grunted softly as your eyes fluttered open. The room still filled with darkness slowly began to fade to a lighter gray, as the transparent blue light of the moon was scattered onto the floor. But looming over the light of the moon, was a shadow.

Your eyes widened in fear. Your head snapped up to the window, to see a dark figure crouched on the rail of your balcony.

Your heart stopped.

As the figure approached the glass, a bolt of lightning danced across the dark sky, the light illuminated a familiar green face.You felt that familiar feeling of emptiness stir in your chest. 

There standing on your balcony was, Leo.

You felt your heart twist and ache in sorrow as you met the guilty eyes of the blue turtle staring at you from behind the window, glazed with the cold rain that persisted on through the night. 

You felt your mind go blank as you walked towards the window, watching this all happen from the back of your mind. 

You opened the window, if not with more force than needed. Leo grimaced at your sorrowful state. Your glassy eyes were puffy and red, your hair messy and tangled. A feeling of guilt began to twist up in his stomach, he wanted to leave, for this whole thing to be over to go back to how it was before. But he couldn’t so he had to fix this somehow, he couldn’t let you hate him. 

Leo smiled. He fucking smiled. He had the audacity. 

But you remained silent. Your painfully antagonizing glare could say more, well your harsh gaze could at least express what you wanted to. Because you would crumble if you tried to speak, you had too much to say, so much you needed to say. 

You sat there instead. And god did that make Leo nervous. 

“So are you gonna let me in?” he joked leaning up against the window, the rain now coming down harder than before. You sighed, rubbing your eyes. Leo knew that look, he knew you were going to deny him.

Panicking Leo tumbled inside causing you to let out a shriek of surprise as you were sent falling to the ground as Leo clumsily knocked you over in his state of panic, frustrating you further. 

You let out loud scoff, voicing your displeasure with the situation. 

“Leo!” you exclaim, shifting to lift yourself from the ground. 

As soon as you were off the ground you turned away from the blue clad turtle. “Leo, why are you here? I thought I made it perfectly clear that I didn’t want to see you again.” you murmur with your back facing him, not ready to give into his pleading eyes. 

“I know, but I…I just need to talk with you okay? Just don’t kick me out yet.” he pleaded, the desperation evident in his voice. 

Your face twisted into a sour expression, even just hearing him like this, it was bittersweet. But you couldn’t stand to face him. Not now.

“Don’t make this more difficult than it needs to be.” you replied, not sparing him a second glance. “You need to leave now, goodbye Leo.” 

Leo wilted, his shoulders slumping in defeat as he watched you walk past him going to open the rustic window behind him.

No, he couldn’t lose you. If you would just listen to him, he was sure you could resolve this. He grabbed your wrist stopping you in your tracks. 

“Just give me five minutes! That’s all I’m asking, just let me explain! And if you still don’t want to talk to me I’ll…I’ll leave.” 

Leo gulped, choking on his words, silently praying you’d agree. That you’d let him fix this. 

“Okay, You answer my questions and if I’m not convinced. You leave me alone.” 

Leo felt a spark of hope, a joyful feeling stirring in his chest. But he couldn’t get ahead of himself yet, he had to convince you first. 

“Why…why did you do all that?”

Leo froze, his lip beginning to quiver, his eyes now desperately trying to look anywhere but into yours, the seriousness of the situation was more than uncomfortable.

Leo was deeply unsettled by the tension in the room. All he could do was stutter out a couple of words. 

“What?” 

Leo's voice wavered while he spoke those two words, but evidently that was all it took to enrage you.Your face contorted to a sour mix of emotions, a strange twist of anger and hurt when you looked into Leo's guilt ridden eyes. 

“What do I mean? When you decided to play with my heart for months? When you would kiss me and tell me you loved me more than anything only to go back to being buddies the next day? Thats what I fucking mean Leonardo!” 

Your voice was like the whip of thunder, the sound of glass shattering. You could feel hot tears of frustration well up in your eyes. You hiccupped, your breath choppy. God, this was so embarrassing, you didn’t want him to see you like this, to know that he had such an effect on you. You turned away. 

“I’m done Leo, get out of my house and never come back.” your voice was as cold as ice, it sent a shiver up his spine. 

Leo began to panic, he needed you to stay, he couldn’t handle losing you. 

“But before you go.” you paused, catching Leo's attention “Did you ever really love me?”

The way your voice shook, the hiccup in your voice, broke him. But he needed to be honest with you, you deserve the truth. He glowered, fixing his gaze on the ground, ashamed.

“I didn’t love you. I just needed someone to love me.” 

The room was unbearably quiet; it felt like an invisible weight was pressing down on Leo's chest, preventing him from breathing. It was quiet, startlingly quiet. He felt like he was going to snap at any moment, he couldn’t handle this anticipation, he wished that you would do something, anything. Slap him, scream at him, anything but this.

But suddenly your tense figure began to shake. As uncontrollable sobs filled the room. Leo's eyes widened in concern as he briskly approached you wanting nothing more than to comfort you, he rested hand on your shoulder.

“Don’t touch me!” 

You snapped whipping around to reveal the most heartbreaking sight, hot tears streamed down your red cheeks as your eyebrows were furrowed up in anger. 

“Get out Leonardo! And don’t ever fucking talk to me again!” 

You began to open the window, not wanting to hear anything else he had to say. Leo internally panicked, you were sliping through his fingers like sand. He needed to act quickly, stop you with something.

And then something clicked. Leo felt his mind go blank as if he was watching this unfold in third person. He grabbed you by the wrist pulling you into him.

Kissing you. 

Your eyes widened. You paused for a moment, for a moment, this had felt sincere, it felt right. But you knew that this wasn’t right. He didn’t love you. You pushed Leo away much to his surprise, causing the turtle to fall to the wood floor with a sharp thud. 

There was a moment of discomfort as he groaned, rubbing his head before his eyes met yours.

“I can’t believe you're so selfish, how do you continue to play with people like it's nothing!? I don’t want to waste anymore time on you, I fucking hate you Leonardo.” 

Leo's eyes widened your screams of hurt no longer phasing him, as he looked away the burning feeling of self hate welling up inside his chest. He needed someone to love him so badly that he was fine breaking someone apart in the process. 

You stood above him in silence before turning away, no longer able to look at him. Leo frowned, shamefully rising from the ground, turning and opening the window. He turned to you one last time. 

“I’m sorry.”

Cringetober: Day 11 - 5 + 1 Things

Five times Leo’s one liners were funny, and one time they were serious…

“Sooo, you guys from Jersey?”

“Looks like these fish are…wait for it, you’re gonna love this…..all washed up.”

“Looks like you’re about to get some shocking news!”

“Catch of the day, sword fiiish!”

“You guys really need a hobby.” “Oh we got one, ‘kicking butt’ and ‘taking names’. And you are?”

“I have forever known what you fail to understand: Strength. Always. Prevails!” “What you fail to understand is: I missed on purpose.”
