Edit please stop going on about how sometimes cishet people say stuff is platonic to be queerphobic. No one is more aware of this truth thanI. This is a post about aro erasure and demonization over headcanons in fandom.
Stop equating arospec concepts and identities to queerphobic fuckery pulled by cishet amanormative culture.
Question why a post about aro people wanting to exist and explore ourselves through fictional fun makes you think about bigotry.
More one self-insert sketch, this time some fluffy with Raph. To be honest, I'm not totally satisfied with this one but whatever. I promise the next one will be something better.
Oh, and how I will draw the turtles' faces may vary from drawing to drawing because I can't get stick to one.
There's also this silly sketch of Donnie that I have done some months ago. I hope someone gets the reference.
thinkin about blurple villain au. how it’s ironic that leo is the one who wears a collar, and not donnie.
leo, the embodiment of wildness, of being free, untethered except by choice. bound only by what he decides himself is worthy of his loyalty. he put the collar on himself and laughed at the absurdity of it. he smiles when he sees it in the mirror because he knows the only hands that will ever touch this clasp are his own.
but then i was like. oh. of course. everything about donnie screams domestication. how he looks at you like something precious. how he puts himself between you and all harm. how the only time he bears his fangs is when you’re in danger. how he never strays from your side. his place is with you. a fact as much a law as the pull of gravity he’s never not felt in your orbit.
donnie doesn’t need a collar. one only needs to look at his face when he gazes at you to see the binding around his neck.
Yup!
Bro shut up, she is white - being Latina is not a race, is an not the same as color skin. And she is a second generation immigrant too. So like... this isn't like a Salvadorian person doing a cartoon, is a daughter of Salvadorians... That grew in the USA. Being Latino doesn't mean you aren't white, you can be any race and Latino. Still wouldn't make up for the lack of representation or the existing racism. In the piece of media that's "diverse".
Salvadorian is not a race, LMAO. That's crazy- you think someone from Argentina who is white, is not white cause of their nationality??? Being Latino and having that culture does not equal a race. It's in itself a racist thing. This Latino = Race is terrible, It also comes from the idea of the "You are not Latino because you are not brown", assuming all people from Latino America are brown by default. You know how much has that happen to me? -AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
(I'm Latino btw)
I already have an older post about it, but - you can really see the lack of diversity in the show a lot. (Will talk about it even more other day).
Again the main thing you get is MEN, hypersexual skinny queer men (cis). You won't get to see female characters being well written, thought all the season 1 and all the episodes we got rn of season 2. All characters are skinny and similar body types and repetitive design choices. Funny enough, shows that lack of human characters still have better race-coding that helluva. (and well in hazbin you'll get POC characters that are gray, lack all ethic features... even when they are humanoid. So that is great.)
Bro you could, you imagine a character being black and having different textured hair, and you go to hell... AND EVEN THO YOU ARE HUMANOID- your hair became straight and spiky, and you are now a light gray? If you build a world like that... it just seems like the perfect racist excuse to delete ethic features out a POC character because you don't want to draw them. "Not going to a single hint of their race/culture unless it revolves on their death"... If the character became a fucking coin with dot eyes, maybe (not really, shows with no human/humanoid characters still are capable to race-code their characters). But all of these characters are humanoid- why do none of them have their different characteristics? Also, this is about a real person in the real world choosing how to design a character.
This tweet also implies that a black character when they were a life they had ethic features, but lose them when they go to hell. Which is even more fucking stupid.
If a white person with straight hair goes to hell, and their hair remains straight (assuming it has nothing to do with their death), why wouldn't there be black people with textured hair? This is dumb. This goes back to the fucking thing of "No black people in fantasy media", In the same way, it's stupid for fantasy stories to revolve around white people characteristics in fictional species and people in that world- not including all the rest of diverse human characteristics POC people have it's crazy. The biggest problem here is why the fuck all Viv's sinners characters (main characters designed by her) that are supposed to black (or mixed like Alastor) have 0 characteristic. THEY ARE HUMANOID, THEY AREN'T EVEN ABSTRACT OR AN ANIMAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. She didn't want to draw that nor change designs, and wanted to justify the whole concept of Alastor even using Voodou.
HOW ARE ALL THE ANGELS THAT VIV WANTS TO BE BLACK (black voice actors specified, or are race specified) HAVE NOTHING??? LIKE HELLO THE 'I'm such a nice angel character girl' HAS SPIKY STRAIGHT HAIR??? SHE IS AN ANGEL AND BLACK, WHY DIDN'T YOU DID HER HAIR TO BE CLOUDS- It's THE EASIEST SHIT YOU COULD’VE DONE.
BOOM! A FUCKING TROLL FROM A KIDS MOVIE WITH DIFFERENT HAIR. BOOM! THE FUNK TROLLS ARE SO EXPLICITLY BLACK CODED.

Bro, you know this whole thing of people with textured hair have to forcefully straighten their hair or wear wogs to a job... because people consider it ""Unprofessional"" cause racism? The erasure and discrimination of POC people and their features is a problem. That's why it is important to people represent all of those things:
(Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur)
The only reason of why Alas tor is even mixed is purely cause Viv used the Voodou symbols because she thought they were creepy and edgy. It's sucks that all the angels and sinners that are supposed to be black have nothing.
It's just a small idea I had some days ago, but it's basically Raph watching a movie/show/wrestling late at night and gushing about it to his SO, and they listen and watch with him even if they don't completely understand it.
Also, a random cute little thought I had was that he would keep a pillow near his bean bag chair just in case his significant other wanted to carelessly lean into him and such, since, you know, they could get hurt by the spikes (and yes, that's a pillow, I spent too much time trying to figure out how to draw it and it doesn't look good-).
The only difference between the two pieces is that in one I tried to do a red lightning coming from the TV.
Extra under the "read more".
The sketch, just in case anyone wants to see it, and also a drawing on paper with the ship dynamics thing-y of the last post. If my memory doesn't fail me, it's about two months old.
This month is going to be really chaotic for me but the next drawing will probably be Leo's ship dynamic or an yandere-ish future Leonardo based on a really specific thing. The only hint that I'm going to give about the F!Leo one: "The boys".
Yeah, I'm fine

Hi! You're work is amazing! And I just saw your recent post, so I am here to gubernatorial you ✨️MOTIVATION✨️.
Now my idea is kinda simple/boring(?) But I'm in my feels so could we perhaps see F! Donnie hugging the reader from your fic???
Hope you stay happy and hydrated!
“You don’t know how I’ve missed you…”
I loved this one hehehehe- of course I’m trying to teach myself how to draw again✨

Donnie and Y/N haven’t seen each other for awhile- and it’s such a heartwarming thing for two old friends to reunite…though as he claims he’s uncomfortable with emotion- it’s more complex than one can think💜
ENJOY!!! (THE SKETCH)
top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard
the best wingman.
/as always based on tiktok i found (probably some dorama scene lol)/
Sofia's reference
I made this like a month ago and I forgot to post
But also because it's bad
I will re draw it and try to make my others OC's, I have more 6. Actually 7, but I didn't think about her design nor name yet.
