I love hearing stories about people rediscovering and healing their inner child because I think it’s that element of wonder that truly makes us human.
I’m super impressed with how you used art to describe this journey Friendo! You did such a good job and I’m so proud of you!

I've recently begun to appreciate more music styles, and Bastille has made it for sure. The reference is from his orchestral "A Million Pieces" video.
From what I've read in the comments, it sounds like Bastille has been dealt a difficult hand, but seeing his confidence through his music videos is really inspiring, and this child-like wonder? I had to draw it, and instead of coloring the hard copy, I decided to do so digitally to play with the hues.
@fishsticksloser Ah creating mischief through writing snippets for your friends, I see. A worthy engagement indeed, for tis an endeavor I participate inquire frequently. May all the inspiration be upon ye, and your fingers fly swiftly in your story.Show no mercy, my friend. Make him suffer 😈🫡🧡🙌🏼
and if I may be as bold, may I see the destruction afterwards? I do so enjoy a good creative volley
Apologies everyone... I fear I have accidentally killed him. Who knew a cryptid could be so powerful...
YOU ARE NOT SORRY IN THE SLIGHTEST--
DON'T EVEN--
First things first, Y E S *slams hand down on table excitedly* NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL WHOLESOME FAMILY ART🙌🏼🧡✨🤌🏼
Second @saspas-corner, @holydoncakes @anobodyinabog *bear poses* If you didn’t want to be assimilated into my found family, you should have ran when you had the chance 😏😈😎
I have no context for this
I genuinely have no words to explain how much these mean to me
reader x turtles doodle dump because i simply do not have it in me to clean these up
bonus raph one. it wasn't gn so I wasn't sure whether to include it but hey ho! he deserves soft love also
Currenly I am processing the utter UNFAIRNESS OF THE DUM DUMS WHO RUN NICKELODEON HOW DARE THEY TAKE AWAY MY SHOW WELL THEY CAN TAKE THEIR LITTLE DISGRACES OF SOMETIMES TERRIBLE CARTOONS- AND SHOVE IT RIGHT UP THEIR ASSES
*nods and reaches behind my chair to pull out a weighted blanket and throws it over your shoulder while handing you a warm cup of herbal tea*
Ridiculous right?! Instead they choose to air another season of SPONGEBOB of all things. Spongebob! Even after the creator specifically asked them not too!
They had at least 5 seasons in the works! We get jiffed with 1 and a half! All for the sake of dumb commercialism 🙄😤😭
Ok don’t mind me crying about this over here.
THIS👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 right here is I why I love the boys so much. For the longest time I struggled with the belief that I was only important or had value if I could do something to help other people. If I wasn’t “producing” or being a boone in every situation, then I literally felt like nothing. If something wrong happened, than it was instantly my fault because I wasn’t good enough.
For YEARS I’ve wrestled with this internal self loathing, but for the first time ever…I’m growing out of that? There’s a “Sprout” of hope if you will. That’s what these stories mean to me: Hope🧡🌱
I can learn to love myself with all my “kinds of special” and with that love help others recognize their own awesomeness. i find it interesting that both Omega and Speout are buddies. Because Omega in the Greek alphabet is the last letter, and he was kind of designed with the intent to be the last one standing. But “standing” next to “Sprout” who is the embodiment of taking what was left before and growing into something new, is kinda lowkey poetically beautiful for me. A literal example of the beginning AND the end. and goodness is it inspiring. I’m so grateful to be alive at the same time as the great minds of @kathaynesart and @intotheelliwoods
I have been meaning to do a crossover with the one and only @kathaynesart for such a long time! And the @tmntaucompetition has created the perfect excuse for this :)
I think Sprout and Omega would have a surprising amount in common, they have a lot they can talk about with one another!
Apologies for the cliffhanger- haha- whoops-

a compiled list of asks for me to reference. they are not my own. just some of my favorite questions i’ve picked out from a couple different lists. feel free to reblog and use too!!
I have literally no words to describe how absolutely gobsmacked I was with the friggin DETAIL of this.
Like mouth open almost dropped my phone that somehow, somewhere, a person MADE this.
Good friend, what magical art juice are you drinking and WHERE can I get some?!

Bro, I wanted to ask you some of the TMNT ask questions, but I realized I already know the answers to most of them 😆. And that is absolutely not a bad thing!! So, how about 18, 29, and 33?
SHORTCAKE MAH BELOVED! 🧡 Why did I know that you wouldn’t let me down on this 😆 Still thank you for indulging in my in mah chirpiness
*rubs hands excitedly as I lower my glasses to view the questions and answers in Donnie voice* Now let’s see what we have over heeeraaah…
~#18 Favorite villain eh? Oooo this one is tricky but I’d have to say it’s a toss up between Big Mama and Baron Draxum. Big Mama because she’s the type of person you can’t keep tabs on and therefore have no idea how to engage. I also love how she speaks not going to lie.
Brain Draxum (specifically in fanfics) is ruthless in trying to achieve his goals and it’s terrifying to see the negative side of passion. Luckily for me tho, we get a redemption arc and he’s on the turtles side now As A DaD! Well…sorta… and you know I’m always here for found family.
Do want to give a shout out to the classic 80’s Shredder and Kraang because they have the most old married couple kind of relationship that always makes me laugh.
~#29 One of my headcannon eh? Ooooo girl you know I have so many. But one that’s always stuck with me is Mikey (no matter the iteration) is actually the most effective and skilled ninja of the whole team. Leo is disciplined, Donnie is a problem solver and Raph is strong, but Mikey because of his out of the box thinking and natural connection abilities is the most adaptable to all situations and therefore knows how to interact with his environment.
It really frustrates me that his brothers don’t seem to recognize this, so he just willing plays the fool because that’s everything everyone expects from him.
He also canonly has the most successful kills out of all the brothers which is interesting to me.
~#33 Hmmmm….you know…honestly I’d have to say the short stories that I write with you. They really helped stretch me as a writer which I really appreciate.
Either that or my edits. I honestly have a lot of fun messing with edits.
Thank you my dear for the asks! Much love and affection to you always! 🙏🏼🧡
