Tranformers + Darksiders

For anybody who knows about Darksiders the game, Mirage is just Strife in transformer mode

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!
Digital Trial and Error | Bastille in his A Million Pieces (orchestral v...
(minor flash warning)
Ref:
End product:
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.
Random TMNT Thunks
I had to get my windshield replaced today, and I was chatting with the said dude when I noticed a very specific shade of green on his wallet.
My fangirl brain was like “there’s only a handful of fandoms with THAT specific shade of bright green”
Lo and behold, it was indeed my beloved masked boys. We needed up chatting about TMNT and it’s many conduits for the rest of the time.
Nearing the end of our conversation, I turned to the dude and said, “Since you’re my TMNT brother, I feel like you would be the only person to appreciate this.”
And then I proceeded to go to the back of my car and pull out not my one, not my two, but THREE of my katanas. Like the complete casual fan that I am.
I unfortunately get a lot of grief from my family because of my great love and appreciation for TMNT, but once again I was pleasantly surprised at the connections I get to make because of these silly turtle boys.
I know it’s crazy, but you can reach people by being a fan. I got the sweet privilege of being the facilitator of a smile today. Just because I was a silly little fangirl who loved family and ninja turtles, and I will be forever grateful for that.

Random Turtle Thoughts
Just a conversation I had with my mother that I thought was amusing.
As y'all can tell I'm a very “casual” TMNT fan.
sometimes we all just need a reminder that being strong isn't the same as being alone 🧡
*comes into ask how with a shaky smile*
Howdy there Hon. I hope the New Years been treating you alright so far, and I wish that it will continue to bless you with the goodness you deserve ✨🧡
Sorry to bother your inbox again, but this is “Independent Woman” from a request a couple weeks ago and I've had kind of a rough day, and your writing always makes me smile.
If it's not too much to ask, may I request a follow-up on that prompt please? How the Bayverse/Rise boys would react to their stubbornly independent SO having a rough day to the point that they cave and ask for cuddles?
No stress, no worries if you're not in the mood for it. I totally understand. Please take care of yourself first and foremost! Please drink water and know you are appropriated! 🧡✨
howdy anon-chan! 🧡
i'm so sorry that you've had a rough day. i hope at this point it's going a little better and that you're able to get the rest you need. there's a quote that i like to think about when i'm having a rough time: "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." -Mary Anne Radmacher
anyway, i hope this helps you smile!
(here's the other post)
Leonardo
Leo has been waiting for (hoping for, praying for) this, for you to come to him in your time of need. He feels bad, he doesn't actually want you to have a bad time or a rough day, but at the same time he loves to be needed. He already has a plan in place.
Mikey scampers off at his signal, and Leo escorts you to his room. There he encourages you to get under the covers and mess up his bed however you need to in order to get comfy.
Then he climbs in with you and holds you. He doesn't ask about what's wrong, doesn't try to talk to you about anything. He can tell that isn't what you need right now.
Mikey comes in (quietly for once) with some tea. He sets the tray down on the bedside table and smiles at you before quickly leaving. Leo tells you that the tea is there if you want it, then goes back to quietly holding you.
You realize, after laying in his arms for a while, that he is meditating. You try to match your breathing to his, and you see a small smile steal across his face when he feels what you are doing. You fell right into his trap.
The two of you breathe in sync for a while, just soaking in each other's presence.
If you decide to talk about it, Leo listens very closely to you. He's not confident that it will happen, but he hopes that you'll tell him if it's something he can help with. No matter what though, if you just need to vent or need advice or need him to do something for you, he will respect your wishes.
Raphael
Raph's first instinct is to find out who hurt you so that he can go take care of them. Fortunately, he goes with his second instinct, which is to bundle you in his arms and carry you to his room.
Once there, he climbs into bed and rearranges the two of you until you are both comfortable. He makes sure you are completely covered with him, his strong hands rubbing your back. "I've got ya sweetheart. What do ya need?"
Raph isn't quite confident in his ability to comfort you, so he does need some guidance. But once you let him know what you need, he's on top of it.
If you just want to curl up on his plastron and be held, he will stay with you as long as you need. He will rub your back. He will be your own personal weighted blanket. Gentle touches or rough hugs, hell if you need him to distract you he will. Anything for you.
(Raph finds that he wants to give you the gentle touches. He wants to hold you gently, he wants to show you softness. But if that's not what you need, he'll just have to talk to you about it later. This ain't about him.)
If you want to talk about it, if you need to vent, Raph'll listen. He'll empathize. He might growl or mutter as you talk, but he won't interrupt. If you want advice, he'll do his best to give it to you.
Anything you need, he'll get it for you. Drink, food, more pillows? It's there almost before you ask for it. You won't have to lift a finger or do anything if you don't want to. "I'll take care of you princess."
Donatello
Donnie immediately has so many questions, but he sets them aside. You asked him to help you learn how to be cared for, so he's going to do just that.
He takes to the lab, because the bed there is comfier than the one in his room. He puts on some music you like and turns down the volume. He encourages you to climb in and climbs in behind you. He lays down and lets you climb on him however you want.
Once the two of you are comfortable, he asks if you want to talk about it. He realizes that you need to be guided into asking for what you want, and he's prepared to do that. Your answer is the beginning of the mental flow chart Donnie created specifically for caring for you.
If you do want to talk about it, Donnie first asks if you want advice or if you just want to vent. Once that's established, he is an active listener. He asks questions and gives you nudges if he thinks you need it. He'll make those snarky comments that make you laugh. He checks in periodically to make sure that you're still okay. Talking to Donnie will always make you feel better.
If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay too. He'll ask if there's anything you need, then send the drone to zap Raph into getting it for you. Once Raph is gone (rubbing his arm and muttering murderously), Donnie settles in for a nice long cuddle session with you.
If you're okay with it, he pulls up some work. He asks if you want a distraction, and if so he'll start telling you about what he's doing. Donnie works with one hand while the other absentmindedly rubs your arm. He still checks in every once in a while to make sure you're okay and ask if you need anything.
Michelangelo
Mikey, much like Leo, hates that you're upset but is so happy that you came to him so he could care for you. This is a huge step, you're making progress! Now it's his turn to make progress, to show you how he can care for you.
He asks if you need anything first, so he can grab it without interrupting the "epic cuddle session" you're about to have. (Later, when you ask him to get you something, he'll interrupt the cuddle session anyway with zero complaints. He just wants you to be happy.)
Once that's all taken care of, he hustles you off to his room, hand on your back. Thank the pizza gods that Leo had forced him at sword point to clean it the day before. You both get in bed and get comfy.
He holds you as if you are a treasure, a beloved teddy bear. It is hard to believe that Mikey can be this gentle. He wraps you in blankets and props you up with pillows until you are surrounded in softness and him.
Then he starts to talk. He chatters on about anything and everything, whatever comes to mind. His skateboard tricks, their latest encounter with the Foot, Raph breaking his most recent lifting record... you are caught up on ALL the turtle gossip.
Mikey doesn't stop until he gets a smile out of you. When he sees it, his answering smile lights up the room. He asks if you are feeling better. If you are, he starts being silly, kissing your face and tickling you until you are crying from laughter. If you aren't, he asks if you want to talk about it. He'll listen and commiserate with you, and support you no matter what.
Random TMNT HCs
You can’t tell me that 2007, 2012 and Bayverse Mikey would not just absolutely jam to the Veggie Tales theme song. Like full on blasting this on speakers and belting out the lyrics accompanied with full on Fortnite dancing.
And how could they not just go fricken ham on “His Cheeseburger”
These songs were like designed specifically for the ADHD Brain tickles
Jayus’ Jammie Jams
Tell me you grew up Christian without telling me you grew up Christian…
On a completely random note, the theme song for a movie about vegetable superhero’s has NO right to slap this hard
Just a little something I came up with while reading my scriptures today.
thanks for @saspas-corner for being my personal adviser in designing it 🧡☝🏼
this gif immediately came to mind when I saw this comment PLEASE I WOULD KILL TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH CAS’ MIKEY OF ANY AGE!! Well maybe not kill…actually no wait I WOULD kill.
I WOULD KILL A KRAANG TO BE MIKEYS FRIEND
YALL DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO ME AND HOW MUCH I JUST WANT TO VIBE IN HIS LITERAL PRESENCE.
Like bro let me braid your hair, let’s cook those family meals together and argue about which one is better, baddie art and meditation nights all the time, be uper protective over our sibs and be the only emotionally unconstipated individuals in our family.
Like please, he’s my bestie waiting to happen
I just love how close they are. But in a completely different way than Leonardo and Casey. Not quite brotherly either. Like really good friends. Like that kind of best friend you get that makes you feel like you’ve known them forever. And for Casey of course he’s known Leonardo his whole life, but it’s different.
It’s calmer and more relaxed. Like they can both just BE teenagers.
And they just understand each other. And I love that for them. The boys all need best friends. Donnie has April, Raph has Cassandra, Leo has Casey. (Of course it’s collective as well…)
I guess we just need a bff for Mikey.
Yes yes yessss >:D Thank you!

Ok so like my friend told me that something is considered good because it moves you. Well friends…*deep deep inhale* I’ve been FrIcKeN moved by this entire comic.
Like this is just so rawly human?! And I am literally transported into this world through perspective (Empath skillz is that you?) It hurts in a good way because I literally feel like I’m there and all the characters are so in character?!
I’m just sitting in my car trying to figure out the words to express my awe at this level of skill and talent, but once again words fail me so
@2aceofspades please take my humble keyboard smash to show my appreciation for you blessing my eyes with this today. *clears throat* sudbwudhevwodbdhsixnrjekznfjslsmdbe😭🙌🏼🤧
Y’all please read dis. It’s that good.

My brain is literally buzzing with this new update. *bear poses*
✨Character Analysis Time Go brrr✨
Like notice how Leo the “most talkative and noisy” of the brothers is completely silent when he comes back. He’s pretty much quiet for the whole exchange because he’s watching, observing and taking action. Because the first thing he does, THE FIRST THING HE DOES, is reach out to his brother. No matter how on earth he’s alive again, no matter where the heck he is, his first thought, and his last thought is to reach out to his family, to sacrifice what little he has left, every fiber that is his soul, for THEM.
This is Leo at his core: a soldier and brother in arms
And Donnie here falling asleep ONLY after saving anyone because now he’s completed his mission. He too gave everything, dauntless in the face of impossibility because he’s THE Flippin Donatello! He’s NEVER fit the status quo, and that includes dying and being dead like a normal person. But Donnie ain’t normal, that’s what makes him so brilliant. He knows that because he’s never existed in limits, that he can therefore push the boundaries and even be so bold as to break limits and that’s why he’s RELENTLESS in his discoveries and expiraments.
So now they’re back, they’re all back. He can finally rest.
This is Donnie at his core: infrastructure of the family
Also this familial kabedonning is giving me life 😆🙌🏼 These boys will be the death of me

Uh..what can I say. I’m literally so so happy I can upload these pages you have no idea.
On a separate note. Oh my god. GuYs. FanDOM?? Thank you so much for your donations I can’t even,,,,jsjshdgdgdj,,,how do I express it?? Thanks to you, I can have a days off. Just..ah. Some days when I can ..like…j u s t. draw this comic in peace?? And don’t have to work a full day at the studio beforehand?? I’m so fucking grateful I kxjsksosjdhfbhr
Thank you 💜💙❤️🧡
Part 1
This is 100% me, and I’m not even joking 😆🙌🏼
Donnie being the Chaotic Neutral gremlin of an Uncle I believe he would be. This took me almost 3 weeks to finish, but I did it! And yes, I did quote Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls because that is the type of energy I feel bad future Donnie would have a lot of the time, lol. It was supposed to end with just seeing the results of the children related disaster, but the idea of Donnie not realizing he actually is supposed to be the authority figure for the kids is hilarious to me.
People are legit talented, this is art and I’m obsessed with colors and beats 😆🙌🏼

🥺🫢💜💙
wippppp I will do it clearly later it's jussst aAAaaaaq[osoao *morning screaming* Okay, I did cry at Raph and Mikey's reunion, I repeat, I will die at twins reunion I MEAN YES I KNOW YOU'VE READ IT That Donnie's holding Leo in a mug and don't let anyone else hold it for one particular reason This one is like one big "I'll beat out all your bad thoughts, you won't stay here, no more bad dreams" AAA{{{{SPPSWP I just more and more understand how this song fits for them both: Donnie blames himself that he wasn't enough, he didn't do enough, "he gave them hell"; but Leo "gave them hell" because Donnie was more than any of them could wish of
Y’all….I’m legit sobbing right now. I’m just casually reading this on my deck outside and this post hit me so hard that I dropped my phone and started crying.
THIS is the entire message of TMNT in a nutshell. This is why I FRIGGIN adore this show, this fandom. They’re brothers your honor. Brothers.
We all have our unique gifts, but at the end of the day we’re not alone. We have all have family, whether blood or by choice. We’re NEVER alone.

Thank you @somerandomdudelmao for showing this and doing so in a way that is heartbreakingly beautiful. I’ve never been so shook by someone’s art and story in a way that this has shattered me (in the best possible way)
Part 12!
Okay. A little insight. I originally wanted to do two separate episodes for Leo and Mikey.
And at the end of his episode, Leo would die alone in the middle of the wasteland. Dramatic, angsty, all that yeah
But then I thought about it many, many more times. Leo was essentially never alone. I used to think of him as such a... kind of... somewhat abandoned and lonely character?, because I've read so many fanfics about him traveling back in time.
But canon Leo was never completely alone. Mikey was there, Mikey was with him until the very end. Mikey and him went all the way to the inevitable defeat together.
This wasn't just Leo who lost everything. It was them. Both of them. Together.
This comic really does things to my brain.

Collab with @/PiGladiator on twitter
They did the wonderful lineart :D
Anyone gonna mention that here thanks to the beautiful (aNd InCreDibLy PaInFuL) work of @somerandomdudelmao that we see THE Donnie, who is known to be touch adverse most of the time, is so scared, hurt, frustrated, lonely (what other Donnified adjective that fits) is not only actively ReAcHiNg, but using whatever little strength he has to get to Casey, to HOLD him as fast as he can.
Anyone? Or is that just me?
