If we turn left enough times, we'll have gone in a circle.... and end up right back where we started.

@boots-with-the-fur-club @daboyau @littlemissartemisia @thevoidbrothers @noval1t (I hope they don't mind I added their characters into the story for special guest appearance 👉👈)

CW: fight scenes, blood/ichor, panic attacks, slight body horror, hallucinations, abuse, experimentation, surgery, torture... cardiac arrest and character death

(It's a really long one. I am so sorry in advance lol)

Also, just for clarification: UIFY = Until I Found You NFIF = No Fun in Fungus DvD = Donatello Von Draxum 'Phael = Raphael Jurogumo

Prev || Next || Illustration

Misa waddled along the corridors of the arena as she retraced her steps. She couldn't recall exactly where she'd left the portal sword, but she knew it was in the area... Her families were counting on her. Her older little brothers and sister April needed her help! And she was so excited to help them and prove Lee-Lee wrong about her being "just a little kid". She wasn't little! She was 4 years old! That was so grown up and big, she could do all sorts of things by herself... If she could only find her sword. She'd show him just how big she was!

Out of the blue, a familiar floating sensation took her and she watched with surprise as she was lifted up high into the rafters. Misa squealed with delight.

"Up, up!"

Waves smiled at her, returning her laughter with chirps and giggles of his own.

"Are you going to keep playing with your food, or what?"

Misa watched as a splash of pitch created another figure -- a version of Donatello but entirely grayscale -- formed in the rafters next to them.

Waves turned to look at his brother with a great big smile on his face, his eyes empty and black as he stared at Signal. He hissed a warning. Misa is off-limits.

"Fine. Just didn't see the point in wasting such a sweet little snack."

Waves hissed at him again before nuzzling his face into Misa's. She giggled with glee. These brothers didn't scare her. Waves might seem spooky, but deep down he was a silly little sweetheart and she adored him. Especially when he would pick her up and fly around with her.

"What exactly is the little Artemisia doing way out here all by herself?" Signal asked, leaning in close to her tiny face.

"Getting sword for my family!" she explained.

"Ah, weaponizing children now, are we? I think Static was handing out medieval swords and maces earlier..."

"Did somebody say 'best void brother'?" came a glitchy voice as another void brother appeared.

"It's like he's Beetlejuice or something..." Signal growled.

"I just thought the little lady might like this," Static stated smugly as he handed Misa her retrieved portal sword. He'd found it for her!

Misa cheered happily as she brandished the weapon, the blade glinting in the light and reflecting her image like a mirror.

"What's going on up here?" a fourth and final voice boomed. Radio slowly emerged from the shadows of the rafter corners. "Static, you're not giving minors weapons again, are you?"

"How did you even get up here?" Signal asked incredulously. "You're practically the size of a dump truck, how can you even fit in these rafters?"

"Call me that again and I'll flatten you like a dump truck."

"Just worried for the structural integrity of the building, is all..." Signal sassed back.

Radio rolled his eyes as he made his way over to the others, specifically Static, who still owed Radio an answer.

"I wasn't handing out weapons, I was retrieving it. It already belonged to her!"

Radio's eyes shifted from Static to Misa, who nodded her head as Waves shook his (he wanted to get Static in trouble as a joke).

"Why would a little thing like you need a sword?" he asked cautiously.

"Family needs help! Misa gets her sword for them!" she explained. "Bad spores!"

"Your family? You mean that band of misfits and the anxiety-riddled shroomie teens?"

Waves nodded for her. Misa didn't really understand what shroomie meant. Radio scratched his chin as he considered the situation. He knew that there was an outbreak of fear spores going on, and the two AU teams had been working to find and destroy them. It wasn't looking good thus far. Even Signal had gotten spored, and though he wouldn't admit it... they knew it wasn't a pleasant experience for him. Radio couldn't say he was an expert on mushrooms, but he knew a thing or two about invasive beings and decay. And if that fungus was as bad as everyone was making it out to be, then it could mean disaster for every AU in this place.

"...I don't suppose we could be of any help?"

Donatello howled with maniacal laughter.

His prisoners watched with fear as he ordered the vines to wrap around Michelangelo like ropes, tying his arms to his sides and keeping a very strong grip around his throat just in case anyone got any funny ideas. DvD was screaming bloody murder and promising every kind of painful demise if Audrey III didn't release his baby brother immediately. But he could see the tears in his eyes, he could hear the panic and utter fear.

Oh god, the fear was delicious. He wanted more...

Raphael struggled against the odd vines that had sprouted from Donnie's shell, as he brought him closer towards the room where Leo and the others were. The vines were an amalgamation creation -- partially machine, partially Dee's ninpo, and partially... Raph could only assume it was the mushroom. Had it been growing inside of his shell?? He desperately tried to free himself from the terrible growth. He managed to get one arm out --

"Oh-ho-ho-ho, what are we trying here?" the plant asked through Donnie, smirking down at Raph and commanding several other vines to take ahold of his arms and pull, stretching him out in every direction as he yelled in pained protests. "You didn't really think you could get out that easy, did you?"

Raph grunted and growled as he fought against the vines.

"Donnie!! SNAP OUTTA IT! I know you like to play the mad scientist sometimes, but this is TAKING IT TOO FAR!!"

"I'll tell him you said that," Audrey III smirked. "He's on sabbatical right now, but I'm sure the message can get through... eventually."

Raph screamed in anger as hot tears streaked down his face.

"But in the meantime, I think I'd like to taste your fear again..."

The door behind them opened, and out came a stream of blue fog, followed by the Hand.PNG, which crawled up the vines and onto Donnie's shoulder like a spider.

"Let's invite our dear friends to dinner, shall we?"

The vines began to drag Micheal and Raph into the room.

DvD began to screech like a monster, the muscles in his arms tensing and flexing against the vines and finally breaking their hold. He ran towards the wall, screaming in fury as he spun the tech-bō and leapt. They would not take his brother.

A spark of light ignited in his eyes.

It spread across his body.

The light burst like flame at the end of his staff.

All eyes watched him in shock as he shouted a war cry and slammed the tech-bō into the wall Dee had created earlier.

It shattered completely.

A shockwave burst from the impact and threw everyone back, dissolving the vines that held everyone.

Mikey's limp body fell.

DvD rushed to catch him. He almost made it when Donnie/Audrey III stepped in front of him and kicked him back with one of his mechanical arms. The battle-shell-clad ninja crawled up the side of the wall and grabbed the child before he could hit the ground. Mikey's head bobbed, and he groaned in discomfort at having been thrown around like a rag doll.

"You duplicitous little --! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Audrey III spat angrily.

In all honesty, DvD had no idea what he'd just done or how he'd done it. All he knew was that he needed to protect Mikey at all costs. And then the wall broke. In his shocked stupor, he failed to get up in time and suddenly found a new vine wrapping around his neck like a boa constrictor and tightening like a noose.

Mikey's eyelids fluttered.

Donnie/Audrey III brought the alt. version of himself close to his face.

"YOU HAVE NO MAGIC, YOU YOURSELF TOLD HIM THAT! YOU LYING LITTLE --" Donnie's eyes peered into DvD's as he choked. "...Perhaps you are more interesting than you let on. Shall we see what else is in your silly little head, my dear anarchist?"

Donnie gasped for air, kicking and clawing at his captor as he tried to free himself. He... he was blacking out...

Mikey's eyes burst open.

He screamed as loudly as he could, his entire body erupting into gold and amber light, blinding the entire corridor.

A shrieking sound came from the dark room. The door slammed shut.

Donatello turned around in shock, as a torrent of chains burst from the boy, two for each vine he'd created.

Oh. Now we play.

He'd seen this from the boy before; he'd been rooting around in his mind and saw the memories from the last time. He knew the child was afraid of these powers, he couldn't control them very well. Especially the really strong spells like this. He knew how this scene played out. He just had to either wait him out to spend himself dry -- or let him do what the previous poor, sweet Michelangelo had done, and turn himself into a monster. Either would work...

Mikey held his hand out. A series of chains came and sliced the vine choking out his brother. DvD fell to the floor, quickly caught by the chains -- which also grabbed NFIF Raphael -- and carried them away to the others who watched in utter shock as the child landed on the ground and summoned his mystic nunchucks.

"Well, well, well... look who finally woke up."

Mikey's eyes were wide and glowed burning gold. He said nothing, his face empty, devoid of expression. Mikey was not at home anymore, he was controlled by his ninpo. He simply tilted his head in response to Audrey III's eggings.

"I wonder... you tried to save Donatello from my clutches earlier. Did you know then that your efforts would be in vain? Did you know that in your absence, you'd leave your brothers and sisters to face me alone?"

The two circled around one another, preparing to duel it out.

"I sensed your connection; you'd discovered the truth, hadn't you? You'd discovered this pathetic boy's treachery, how he'd joined my cause."

Mikey's face never faltered. His knuckles tightened around as his weapon.

"I suppose 'joined' was the wrong word to use. He really was weak and pathetic, you know. It was almost too easy to leech my way into his mind. I highly doubt his consciousness could have survived from my invasion. I do hope you said your goodbyes."

Michelangelo charged.

Donnie/Audrey III swirled the staff in front of himself, deflecting the impacts of the little child as he battled the fungus infected version of his brother.

Mikey's movements were graceful, practically a performance as he flowed back and forth, throwing his chains at the purple ninja turtle, whose movements in contrast were fierce and sharp and violent and purely angry.

"Did... did you know he could do that?" 'Phael asked shakily, turning to look at Leo.

Leo simply stared in silence, mouth agape with awe and shock of his baby brother.

"Leo, did you know he could do this??"

"I... I-I mean... sort of... I knew he could do magic... but not like this..."

Michelangelo danced around Donatello, waving his arms and creating ribbons of golden light as he filled the room with light.

Wait a minute, light...

"The light... the light!" NFIF Raphael shouted suddenly. "The light! It's how we defeated the spores the first time, using mystic light! It disintegrates them!"

"How poetic, the light drives away the fear," DvD muttered, still rubbing his neck from the constraining grip of the vines.

"If we can get the door open, we can flood the room with his light and free them all!"

"Okay, solid plan, great effort from everybody, just one slight hitch -- HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET AROUND THE MYSTIC BATTLE WHERE OUR BROTHERS ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER?!" Leo yelled.

"Raph's still comin' up with the plan!! Cut me some slack!"

"I can try to poof you guys to the door," April offered. "It won't be completely accurate, but I can get you close."

"That'll have to do," Raph nodded. "And whatever you do, avoid the hand and the spores!"

April grabbed hold of NFIF Raphael, squeezed her eyes shut, and then - poof! - landed the two right in the middle of the fight.

"AAGH! Sorry, sorry!" she screamed, ducking under Mikey's advance against Donnie, as Raph created an enormous ninpo arm and shielded the two of them from Dee's barrage of ninpo torpedoes.

"Get to the door!" Raph screamed, taking her by the hand and pulling her away as he created two more clones to help in the fight.

Mikey danced and ducked under the glowing purple missiles shot at him. He gripped his nunchuck tightly, whipped it towards one of the Raph clones. It wrapped around his arm, igniting in flames, then swung over Mikey's head like a lasso. He flung the fiery clone at Donnie, who just barely managed to dodge the flaming brother, which created a crater in the ground before him. The second clone came and tried to keep him from firing anymore missiles at UIFY Mikey.

"I'm surprised at you," Donnie huffed, trying to keep up with the two attackers. "Why would you want to fight against me? We're brothers!"

"We don't want to fight you," one clone growled. "But you're not in your right mind, so we'll have to do what we can."

"I'm sure you will," Donnie snarled, changing his bō staff into a spear and skewered the clone straight through. It disintegrated into red blocks and pixels. He turned to the second clone, creating the oh-so-famed drill, and firing at the poor duplicate.

Meanwhile, Raphael and April had made it to the door, April gripping the handle as she waited for Raphael's orders.

"Get ready," she panted, out of breath from dodging both sides of the attack. "Once this door opens, a flood of blue is gonna come out."

"I'll get you out, don't worry," Raph said with a nod.

"It's not me I'm worried about. Donnie said the Hamatos are full of senseless martyrs."

"He's... not wrong. But I promise that I won't sacrifice myself."

April nodded, hoping that he would keep that promise.

"Okay, then."

April threw the door open. As soon as she did, a torrent of blue smoke fumed out, engulfing both April and Raphael. April kept her eyes closed, waiting for the nightmares to start. But they never did. She opened her eyes and saw the world from inside a red glowing giant. Raph held onto her, arms spread around her in a safety hold, his hologram form shielding them from the spores.

Donnie/Audrey III felt a pain in the back of his mind. They turned and saw that the spores were leaking out of the room. Okay, now they were getting irritated.

"Why, you little...!"

In this moment of distraction, Michelangelo's chains wrapped around the softshell's waist and pulled him in. Mikey reached out and grabbed him by his neck, holding him just mere inches away from his expressionless face, eyes still burning like melted gold, no irises nor pupils. Donnie's wide, icy blue-tinted eyes contrasted them sickeningly. Donnie smiled.

"Go ahead," he said, voice smooth and calm. "Kill me."

Mikey blinked at him, but that was all. Audrey III continued.

"That was your plan all along, wasn't it? This ridiculous show of power, the fight? You were planning on finishing the job, weren't you?"

Mikey's fingers squeezed softly. A threat.

"What, are you afraid? Why? Shouldn't it be easy? Are you even in control of yourself? Why would you be afraid to squeeze the life out of someone who looks just like your brother, could actually be your brother?"

Mikey's hand let go, his arms shaking. A soft golden glow started to seep through the bandages.

"Ah, and it looks like you may be out of time."

Michelangelo looked down. Golden ichor dripped off of his fingertips. He pulled the bandages off, revealing the scars on his arms, which were glowing white hot, tiny cracks forming from their edges and shimmering, glittery ichor was bleeding from the reopened wounds. The price to pay for his powers.

Some Mikeys cracked.

He didn't.

Not again... n-not again...

Donatello/Audrey III dusted himself off as he watched Michelangelo slowly come to. With his ninpo overdrive giving way, his mind leisurely crept back into place; the golden glazed over his eyes melting as his irises came into focus and his pupils dilated. The ichor dripping down his forearms began turning a deep red, the glowing scars on his arms becoming irritated open wounds.

No, no! Mikey couldn't give up just yet, not when his family still needed him! But... he knew he'd used up almost all his precious energy... he... h-he... Mikey's breathing slowed, raggedy respiration as his hands shook and his knees wobbled beneath him. The room started to spin as black spots entered his vision. He managed to catch a glimpse of Donatello, swinging his staff with great force and slamming it into Mikey's chest with a hideous cracking sound.

Mikey was flung back several feet, dizzy and dazed and all the air knocked out of him. He vaguely registered multiple voices calling his name...

April screamed, NFIF Raphael screaming with her. April's teleportation powers activated without her realizing it, and she suddenly found herself by MIkey's side. Weak as he was, he had curled up into himself, clutching his stomach in pain and trying to catch his breath as he writhed on the floor. His brothers were also by her side in an instant, each one fretting over his injuries.

April looked up to see Donnie/Audrey III standing over them, the hand perched on his shoulder like a vulture.

Dee held out the severed arm, and gave it to the creature.

"Be whole again, dear disciple," he said with a smile, as the hand reattached itself to the limb, a flash of light combining the two together once again.

"That's gross," Leo grimaced. "Hey, DvD, you're a science experiment, can you do that?"

"No, but I can."

All eyes looked behind Donatello/Audrey III.

A black substance expanded and took form -- an adult version of Donatello, devoid of any colour whatsoever.

April cheered, whooping at his arrival. 'Phael screamed at a pitch that only dogs could hear. He was still convinced that these "Void Brothers" were the ones who'd sent him the ominous sticky note near the beginning of this entire adventure in the competition.

"So," Donnie/Audrey III said with a growl. "It looks like we have some more players in the game."

"Think you can keep up?" Signal asked, his form morphing into one of pure black, multiple arms expanding from his abdomen and several extra sets of teeth growing in his ever-widening mouth.

"The more the merrier," Donatello/Audrey III chuckled, letting the Hand.PNG crawl into his palm. "You know what to do," he whispered to it.

The hand instantly vanished, reappearing by the doorway behind Raphael, and scurrying into the room. A second later, blue chains shot out, slicing through Raphael's hologram.

"That's not good," he mumbled, forcing the hand to reach into the gargantuan stomach, pull him out, and fling him towards the others before the spores could seep through all the way.

Two figures emerged from the doorway, their movements somewhat sluggish. There were tiny mushrooms protruding from their skin. Their eyes glowed a neon blue, and their ninpo matched the shade.

Karai and Mikey.

"No..." Leo whispered, staring in horror. "Karai... what happened to her...?"

"Oh, Mikey," Raph whimpered. "Oh no, big man..."

"He's not gonna make us fight them, is he?" April asked nervously.

The two warriors charged.

"Yep. He is. He most definitely is. Shoulda seen this one coming, honestly. That's on me."

"Get outta here," Raphael ordered. "Me and... uh, these guys -" he said, gesturing to the four colourless adults that had already started combating against the swayed relatives, "- will keep them from following you."

"I thought you said you weren't gonna sacrifice yourself!" April yelled angrily.

"I know, and Raph is gonna keep his promise. But your little brother is hurt, he needs help now! I'm not gonna just hand myself over, I'm your cover. Now get going!"

April wanted to argue about it more, but before she could, she was taken by the wrist and pulled away. Waves was tugging her -- as well as the others -- off to a small clearing.

"Where do we go?!" 'Phael yelled, concerned that they had no real escape plan...

"Misa helps!" came a familiar voice. A sword slashed through the open air, and a bright portal opened in front of them...

...Donatello/Audrey III commanded a cloud of spores, hurtling them towards Radio.

"What are you, some kinda Avatar: the Last Airbender wannabe?" he joked as he dodged the cloud.

"I wonder why you would stand against me. Do we not fight for the same cause? Survival? We feed off of others, we only want to exist on our own terms... can you not see our similarities?"

"Nah, not really," Radio said, slamming his fist into the ground, only missing Donnie by half an inch.

"Such a shame. Then I suppose you must die."

"Happy to return the favour--"

"You can't hurt them!" Raphael shouted as he joined the fray.

"Whaddya mean, we can't? They're trying to hurt us!" Static shouted angrily, popping in and out of random spots, infuriating the heck out of mushroomed Mikey.

"They're not in control of their bodies, they're zombies! We hafta find a way to un-zombify them!"

"Well, no offense, but I don't think they share your mindset of 'no hurting the opponents'," Static sighed. "Besides, you're gonna have a hard time getting Signal to change his mind."

"Well, I'm gonna have to, those are my brothers and un-dead gram-gram from another dimension-- wait, where's Leo?!"

Raph looked around the corridor anxiously for the third zombie. He wasn't anywhere to be seen.

He must still be in the room. Raph darted among the others, rushing towards the dark room. There was still a huge cloud of blue smoke that surrounded the doorway, Raph couldn't go in without being infected. But he could see inside.

There was Leo, sitting up against the wall -- oh god.

Leo's body was half-engulfed in the biggest, scariest mushroom Raphael had ever seen. It's giant eye zeroed in on Raph. It... it looked too much like... his fingers traced over his own injured eye nervously. Why did it look so similar? Donnie had theorized that the fungus might've been kraang-related, but...

Leo. Focus on Leo.

He was there, being absorbed into the mushroom. He looked so pale and thin, like he was wasting away. Raph had to save him somehow, but --

"Enjoying the view?" Donnie/Audrey III asked, whacking Raph over the head with his staff as hard as he could. Raphael crumbled to the ground, clutching his skull and groaning in pain. Yeah, that was going to leave a mark... and a pretty nasty concussion, too...

While Raph was stunned on the floor, Donnie/Audrey III noticed the portal that had allowed for the Until I Found You group's escape. It was still open.

The hand appeared at Donnie/Audrey III's feet.

"This form has served its purpose," he said flatly. "I have what I need for now... But I require you to follow after them. Bring me back the scientist, I believe that he may be of some use to me. And even if not, he can't be left with them. He's too smart, he'll find some way to weaken me... I cannot leave it to chance. Bring him to me."

The Hand.PNG "nodded" at his master, then jumped away towards the portal.

Raphael struggled to keep his vision straight. He felt something wrap around his chest, tugging him backwards. He saw the Void Brothers driving the two zombified Hamatos back to the room... in Raphael's direction... the room...

Raph's head pounded louder than a drum. The ringing in his ears wouldn't stop. He knew April would have his head for giving in so easily... maybe she'd understand given the circumstances. He could barely hold his head up after that last hit... Donnie was a lot stronger than he looked.......

At least... he would be sleeping soon. At least he would be in good company. All the Hamato martyrs, together again. At least he was with Gram-Gram again.

At least he'd be with Leo, soon...

The door closed.

Leon recalled the feeling of portalling.

It was kind of like falling. Accidentally skipping a step down the stairs. An acidic scent that slightly burned the nostrils, a popping in the ears as you go from one altitude to the other in an instant and a half.

Leo hadn't done a lot of portalling, but he'd had his fair share of experiences with the activity. But he still wasn't used to the feeling yet. He stumbled through the bright blue splotch of light and tripped on his way out, finding himself in a brand new corridor. The others followed soon after, clambering out one by one and almost stepping on top of each other.

"Where... where are we?"

"Who cares! We have to go back!" April shouted. "Raph still needs us!"

"What exactly are we supposed to do? Go in, guns blazing? With what guns??" Leo yelled anxiously, waving his arms around to gesture to the obvious lack of firearms.

"P-Prilly's right, w-we haf-hafta... go... back..."

Mikey whined loudly, trying to push himself away from Donnie. The effort hurt his injured arms, which were still bleeding profusely.

"Micheal, hold still--"

"N-no, they need us, Donnie... th-they need us... they need..."

Mikey slipped out of his grip and fell to his knees, shakily trying to get back up.

"Michael, you're in no condition to be going into a battle like that!"

"Mikey all red," Misa whimpered. "Mikey's not s'posed to be so red..."

"No, he's not," Leo growled. "Dude, just sit this one out --"

"No!" Mikey sobbed. "I can't sit back and watch as the people I love and care about get hurt!"

"WHY DO YOU THINK WE WANT YOU TO STAY PUT?!" Leo shouted angrily. "I am NOT having you get hurt like that again! Donnie, take Mikey and go find him some first aid," Leo ordered.

Donnie nodded, picking up the angry box turtle and carrying him into a side hall that lead to one of the many lounge areas. "Raph, April and I will come up with a plan."

"What Misa do?" the littlest turtle mutant asked.

"...You have a very important job to do," Leo announced. "You got those ghosty guys to come and help fight... We're gonna need all the help we can get. Misa, you're the recruiter. Go find as many people as you can and get them to come. Tell them how important it is, okay? This is a big responsibility."

Misa's face lit up.

Lee-Lee trusted her! He knew she was responsible! Misa saluted him with a determined smile and nodded.

"Misa get all the families! Everybody comes!"

"Exactly, Misa. Everybody comes."

"So what, we're just gonna pull an Avengers Endgame on the shrooms? We need more of a strategy than that!" April groaned.

"What the heck is an Avengers Endgame?" Leo asked.

"It's a human reference for a movie. Basically it just means that everybody bands together against the bad guy for an epic finale," 'Phael explained.

"Then why not say that? It makes much more sense than 'Avengers Endgame' -- and how did you know what that meant??"

"I do live with humans, in a human hotel, y'know," 'Phael said, rolling his eyes. "I've seen human movies."

"Okay, well, the majority of our family has not, so maybe--"

"Can we get back to the matter at hand?!" April exclaimed loudly.

"Hand?" Misa asked, eyeing something behind them.

"She means the important stuff," Leo explained.

"Hand!" she yelled.

"Yes, yes, we're trying to get back to the matter at--"

"No, hand!" Misa pointed.

The group turned around to see the blurry trail of a small appendage rushing into the hall after DvD and Mikey.

"I don't just want to sit a-a-and do nothing," Mikey pouted, still shaking in DvD's arms.

"I understand that, you know I do," DvD sighed. "And you also know why I am requiring you to rest. You recall what happened the last time--"

"I know, I know, don't remind me. I was bedridden for days..."

"And yet you wonder why we won't let you go fighting."

Mikey grumbled and turned away from DvD. He was so mad, he could spit venom. He knew they were right, of course they were right. But that didn't make it any easier; in fact it made it worse. Because Mikey knew he was right, too! At least, half-right. He knew that they should go back and help. But he knew he couldn't do much, not with all his energy spent and his arms in the state they were now. They stung like mad, he could barely move them. Donnie had removed what was left of the bandages, doing his best not to gag at the sight and keeping his hands as still as possible, despite his aversion to the blood.

Mikey shouldn't feel guilty for this, right?

It wasn't his fault, right? It was just... how his mystic powers were. He couldn't help the way his body worked, just as much as he couldn't help when his hypoglycemia acted up. It wasn't his fault that he was the way he was... it wasn't a bad thing, right? Being Mikey? Being sensitive to others and sensitive to himself, having some few medical issues and mystic setbacks... that wasn't necessarily a terrible thing, right? Right...?

Mikey turned away so DvD couldn't see him crying. He didn't want him to think he was any more immature or any weaker than he undoubtedly did already. Than they all did. Leo had been taking care of him and his ailments since he was a baby. And Raph was holding on to that one special secret of his... and Donnie had cleaned up the blood and gone to get some more gauze and anti-bacterial supplies for Mikey's wounds. Mikey sighed and wished he wasn't so pathetic. He wished he was stronger, smarter, better. Anyone but himself. The only thing he was good for was his stupid useless mystic powers, and they always did more harm than good, especially self-harm. Mikey hated them. He hated himself--

NO, no, don't think like that! That wasn't kind, that wasn't fair! Mikey didn't actually hate himself at all, he was just mad. He needed to let it go. He needed to sit back and breathe...

Mikey leaned back, exhaled slowly, inhaled deeply.

And he saw it.

Crawling like a cockroach on the wall and up the ceiling.

With something blue in its grip.

"DEE, LOOK OUT!!"

The Hand.PNG shot the spores at Donatello Von Draxum.

Mikey jumped.

He had no time to do anything else.

He had no energy to summon mystic chains or make a spell or do anything clever like that.

He just jumped. Dove, really. Dove straight for his brother, in a desperate attempt to push him out of the way, move him aside, get him to safety!

The spores hit him.

"MIKEY?! MIKEY!!!"

Donnie grabbed his brother, holding him close, ignoring the hand as it disappeared into the shadows to watch the scene play out...

"Mikey, look at me, focus on me, okay? You can get through this, alright!? Just concentrate on my voice..."

Mikey nodded furiously, trying to listen to DvD. But there was a ringing starting, his head felt light and dizzy, the room began to spin and get darker. DvD was fading from vision...

NO! Stay, with me, Donnie, please! Donnie?! DONNIE!!

Donnie started shouting, someone was taking him away! Mikey tried to get up, go after him -- his leg caught on something. His arms, too! He looked down and saw titanium shackles, imprisoning him to a cold metal table.

A light shone in his vision. He squinted at the blinding brightness, wishing he could have a hand free to guard his eyes. Something stood in front of the light, casting a shadow over him.

"Well, well, well... if this isn't a surprise? Back again for more, are we?"

Mikey couldn't breathe.

It... it was him. It was him.

Baron Draxum.

"No... no... no --"

"I think we need to run a few more tests on our little friend here, don't you, Donatello?"

Draxum stepped aside and showed Mikey a view of DvD, chained by the wrists and gagged at the mouth. He was screaming at Mikey, trying to warn him, pleading with him to get out of here!

Mikey screamed back at him, begging wordlessly for Draxum to let him go, please, please!!

Instead, Draxum had one of his vines whip across the room and beat his son across the face. Mikey screamed, sobbing and wailing.

"STOP! NO!"

"He always was such a pathetic disappointment." Draxum turned to the other imprisoned turtle. "Perhaps you will show some promise."

No... n-no, this wasn't how it happened! Donnie w-wasn't -- he was never -- a-and Mikey wasn't awake for any of it, he was asleep for the entire thing! He shouldn't be awake now, he shouldn't be, he shouldn't -- H-he... no, no, no, no no no no nonononononononono!!

Draxum came forward with a needle and scalpel.

"Let's begin."

DvD couldn't stop crying, he just couldn't keep the tears from coming. Mikey was sitting on the floor, screeching his poor little head off, eyes wider than saucers and filled to the brim with fear. He couldn't move much, apart from shaking nonstop. He looked like he was constantly trying to wriggle away from something, but for some odd reason his wrists and ankles were invisibly anchored to the floor. Mikey's limbs twitched as he squirmed and struggled, screaming and begging for whatever he was witnessing to stop, please, please please please stop--

"WHERE IS IT, WHERE THE HECK IS THAT HAND, WHO'S SCREAMING, WHAT'S HAPPENING--?!"

Leon and the others rushed into the room, quickly inspecting the situation and coming upon the obvious conclusion.

"April, take Misa outside..." Leo said after inspecting the scene.

"Misa want to stay with Mikey--!" the little girl protested, but April quickly scooped her up and carried her off.

Leon and 'Phael immediately dropped to Mikey's side, Leo taking the box turtle's hand in his and trying to get him to wake up.

"Dee... fear spores, right?"

"...Yeah..."

"The hand."

"Yes."

"What... what is he seeing?" 'Phael asked nervously, eyes watering at the sight of his baby brother in so much pain.

"I... there's only one thing that could scare him this bad..."

"Draxum?" Leo whimpered.

DvD nodded.

"But... h-he doesn't remember anything from that, you said he was under heavy sedatives for the entire time!"

"He was! Draxum kept him under constant anesthetics -- perhaps his mind is creating an idea of what he thinks happened?"

Raphael started fidgeting with his hands.

"U-um... actually..."

The two boys looked up at him.

"'Phael? What... what is it?"

"...He told me not to tell ya..."

"Tell us what?" Leo questioned.

"H-he made me promise--"

"Raph," DvD said, his voice begging him in ways that words could not. "Please."

"He... he does remember. He does remember what happened in the labs."

Donnie and Leo stared. Mikey continued to sob and scream.

"...What... how... how could he know that... and how do you know that he knows?!" Leo asked, voice raising with each word.

"And why wouldn't he tell us?!" DvD asked in disbelief.

Raph swallowed nervously, a sweat breaking out across the worry lines on his brow.

"He... it started sometime after Karai arrived. H-he thought that m-might do with the mystic training she did with him -- but he started having... nightmares..."

"Nightmares?"

"He said he started dreaming memories about it. It was an out-of-body sorta thing, he said. Like he was watching from the outside... He could never get away from the visions, he said -- but every night, he saw a new one."

"And he... came to you about it? Why not ME?!" Leo yelled, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Or Donnie?! Why not tell us?! We're ALL his brothers!!"

"He told me... he said he didn't wanna burden you."

"...Burden?" Donnie whimpered. "...How?"

Raphael looked back and forth between them all. His eyes fell on Leon.

"...He told me he didn't want you to feel... responsible for another thing," Raph mumbled. "He said he felt bad enough about everything he's made you worry over already, he didn't want you to..."

"...He didn't want me to know...? Because... he felt guilty?" Leo wept, tears pooling and spilling from his eyes. "That... I don't... he shouldn't have felt that way, why did he..."

Leo's eyes glossed over, he squeezed them shut, clutching Mikey's tiny fist and pressing it against his chest.

"How could I make him feel like that...?" he wept. "I never meant... I never knew..."

"But... why not tell me? I could have helped," Donnie said in-between uneven breaths. "I already knew what had happened!"

"That's... actually why he didn't come to you, Don," 'Phael explained. "He s-said, he said he didn't want to hurt you. He saw how much you were struggling and wanted to wait until you were... doing better about the whole ordeal. To be honest, I agreed with him on that mark."

"But why did he tell you?" Leo asked. "Why only you, and not us?"

"I s'pose... because he knew that I knew what it was like to be afraid all the time," 'Phael sobbed. "He knew that I wouldn't judge him for his fears. He couldn't sleep at night anymore, he needed someone to stay with him and help him through his fits... But I told him! I told him to tell you both! I told him you should know!" he cried, whimpering nervously as he wrung his hands and rocked back and forth.

"Raph! Raph, it's okay..." Leo tried to reassure him. "I mean... it's not completely okay... I wish he'd told me, but... that doesn't matter now."

Leo held Raphael close.

"We just... we need to be here for him now... How much does he know?"

"...Everything."

"...This isn't going to be easy for him," Donnie exhaled.

"Or us," Leon added.

The trio gathered close to Michelangelo, each laying their hands on him, a sign that they were there and they were offering comfort in the only way they could.

Mikey kept screaming, he couldn't stop screaming. No matter what his brothers tried, they couldn't snap him out of whatever horrors he was experiencing. They just kneeled beside him, holding his hands and hoping their support made some leeway.

But Mikey just kept screaming, shrieking, crying, weeping, wailing, sobbing. He howled until his throat ran dry and his voiced cracked and went hoarse. He wept until his eyes were red and irritated and his cheeks were stained with saltwater and starting to chafe and the area around his eyes went puffy and soft. And on he went. For what seemed like hours, days, years, centuries even -- but was probably only 15 minutes. Mikey was stuck in a loop of fits and fear.

And then finally, he slowed. His breathing calmed, his sobs turning to hiccups and suck-ups and hyperventilation, as his eyes darted around, looking for something familiar.

"Is... is it over?" Leo asked, internally begging for it to be so.

Donatello was heaving along with Mikey, his cheeks also stained with tears.

"I... I think--"

"D-Donnie?" Mikey whispered shakily.

"Mikey? I'm right here, I'm --"

"No... no, not Donnie, please, I--"

"Is, is he --?"

"He's not done with the hallucination yet," Donnie realised. "It's about to get so much worse."

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Mikey screamed, bolting forwards. His legs tangled underneath him, causing him to trip over himself. His arms were strained behind him, his ankles struggling against the ground, as if something was still holding him back.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM, WHAT IS HE SEEING DON?!" Leo screamed.

"Me," Donnie whimpered, holding back desperate sobs. "He's seeing what Draxum did to me. On the last day. When we fought...."

Mikey shrieked in agony, his eyes somehow producing twice as many tears as they had before in this one moment, pouring out for his brother's sake.

Mikey's screams were cut short, he gasped in horror. They all could assume what he'd seen. Draxum had killed Donnie in his hallucinations. Mikey went horribly pale. His eyes widened.

"No... no... no, no, no, get away get--!"

Mikey jerked suddenly. His body seized up, his eyes went wide, and then --

He fell backwards.

Back into the hold of his brothers, who caught him almost immediately.

"MIKEY!!"

Mikey didn't hear them, he simply lay in their arms.

Mikey stopped shaking. His limbs had gone slack. His body went limp. His eyes went somewhere far away from them all.

Mikey exhaled.

And he didn't inhale.

"...Mikey...?"

He didn't respond.

"What... what just happened?" Raph asked nervously.

"He didn't... he didn't just..." Leo begged, slowly placing his fingers against his neck. He paused. He tried the wrist next. He couldn't find any pulse.

"He didn't just leave us, did he?"

"...Michael...?"

Leo pounded his fist against the ground.

He wasn't going to give up his baby brother.

Leo placed his hands across Mikey's chest, applied pressure.

1, 2, 3, 4.

"Come on, Mikey, come on...!"

1, 2, 3 ,4.

1, 2, 3, 4.

"Come ON, Mikey, COME ON! I'm not letting you go!"

DvD was crying, holding himself tight as tears soaked into his shirt and vest.

"Leo, stop... Leo, he... he..."

"Leon, mate, please, he--" 'Phael reached for him, attempting to comfort.

"COME ON!" Leo shouted, refusing to give up.

1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3--

"WAKE UP!!" he sobbed.

Mikey gasped for air.

His eyes blinked wildly as he bolted upright, limbs flailing about in a mad panic. Three bodies pounced upon him, wrapping themselves around him and sobbing into him. Mikey said nothing. He simply looked around in confusion, getting his bearings and perfividly coming back to reality. He listened, but couldn't hear them. Everything was numb and strange, every sound and image baffled him. All he knew was he hadn't been here anymore. But he was here again, now. Here with his brothers.

... I did not intend for this ...

Yes, I intended to send the spores.

And yes, I intended to have them sent after Donatello.

I even intended for them to miss him entirely, for Michelangelo to rush in his place and take the hit for him.

But I never intended this.

Michelangelo was meant to see a different fear entirely.

Michelangelo is afraid of being the frailest, the smallest, the weakest of the brood. Dear little Mikey is afraid that he has nothing of importance to offer. He is always relying on the others to help him, to save him. He has nothing to offer them in return. Mikey tries to do what he can, but deep down he is afraid that one of these days, his brothers will discover that HE needs THEM far more than they could ever need him.

Truly, THAT was what he was meant to see. I had no idea he would see... all that.

They told me no one would get hurt. They told me no one would die. They promised me. And they lied.

It was a good game while it lasted. But I'm not having fun with it anymore.

No one was meant to be hurt like this.

No one was meant to die.

I suppose this means I'll have to do what I can to fix things, now.

"L-Leo," croaked Mikey, who slowly raised his hand and pointed a trembling finger. "Hand…"

“What... what are you saying, Mike?"

“Hand,” Mikey clarified, stressing his wobbly finger as he gestured behind them.

The boys followed Mikey's direction.

The Hand.PNG was crawling towards them.

"G-Get it away from Mikey!" Leo screamed, kicking his feet in the creature's direction.

"Don't let it come any closer!"

"WHERE'S MY TECH-BŌ?!"

"Please, if you could simply pause for a moment, I'd like to make you an offer."

Everything stopped.

Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey froze, jaws dropping to the floor as they heard the hand speak at them.

"You... y-you can talk?" Mikey's voice came out grated and raspy.

"Yes."

"What... why are you just deciding to speak now?" Raphael asked.

"And why have you been tormenting us all?!" Donnie bellowed, gripping his tech-bō tightly as possible.

"And what did you mean, you wanted to make an offer?" Leon interrupted. "An offer for what?"

"I was wondering if I could offer you my services. How would you like to rescue your family and destroy the fear fungus?”

Okay, so I watched grayscale removal and I couldn’t imagine how much it hurts. Since Joanna!Reader had grayscale, what if it was removed? I imagine it would hurt Reader so much but it’s the only way to save her. I imagine that her screams are heard in the castle and it takes everything to Lannisters not to bust in her chambers and stop this process, because they can’t bear Joanna!Reader’s screams.

Cersei, Tywin, Jaime, Tyrion and the Mountain would without a doubt be in the room with Joanna!lookalike!Reader while she’s being treated. Cersei would be clutching onto her child’s hand for comfort, not only for her child’s comfort and reassurance but also for her own. Tywin would be overseeing the entire process. Jaime and Tyrion would be there for moral support, trying to ease the situation but not being of any real help. Tyrion would of course get on Cersei’s nerves trying to joke away the importance and critical-ness of what’s taking place and just being their in general. The Mountain would be looming over and staring into the soul of the maester treating the Reader throughout the entire ordeal.

Also, I don’t mention it enough but Joanna!lookalike would also totally have her lion companion with her too. And that lion is all eyes on the maester, one wrong move and it’s lights out for him.

I can see Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen being outside their sibling’s room while this all takes place, them having been not allowed to be inside to witness what’s to come for their own protection. But the moment the Reader starts screaming they’ll burst through the door out of worry and anguish for their beloved sibling. Sandor is probably the one guarding the door or at the very least he’s in attendance because of Joffrey and he ends up being the one to wrangle up the kids to take back outside. Not to mention Tyrion’s probably also been kicked out by Cersei or Tywin at Theo point so now he’s trying to console and comfort Myrcella and Tommen.

Maybe even Sansa and Margaery are there too, waiting outside with the others and worrying about Joanna!lookalike too. Once the screaming starts they’re even more worried and can only think of the worse. Sandor probably has to wrangle them up too when the others burst in to see what’s happening. (I can’t help but imagine Sandor being forced to corral and carry five people in his arms all at once, like holding a bunch of cats. Hell, they’re probably scratching and biting him like cats to let them all go and be with their poor Reader.)

The pain that the Reader is so obviously feeling and going through would be immense. It would take everything in all of the family members to not put a stop to the removal right then and there. It would be so much worse for Cersei if she couldn’t touch her child until after the fact. How desperate she would be to just want to caress her child’s head, smoothing their hair and kissing them. Even to just hold their hand or at the very least link pinkies with them to give some kind of reassurance to both of them. Either way, if Cersei couldn’t touch her child in this harrowing moment it would be much harder for her to allow the entire thing to continue. Tywin may even have Jaime take Cersei out of the room if that were the case. And you know damn well Cersei won’t be leaving without a fight. Hell, Gregor may even have to be the one to remove her from the situation.

In the long run it would all be worth it to not only save their beloved Joanna!lookalike but also to give them the ability to go about their life outside of the confines of their room. But in the moment it would take a lot out of everyone to not step in, especially when the Reader starts screaming in agony.

Hihihihi! Can I get a parental/platonic parent matchup for hazbin hotel?

Im a cancer, around 14-15 years of age, and have short brown hair. I'm around 4'9-5'6 ft.

Around people I don't know I'm super nice and kind, usually complimenting my my way into a friendship with most people. I like to draw and read horror book, (I.E coraline, the man in the basement, dread end, etc).

I am mostly known around school as a kid who gives most of the time, buying goods for kids who can't at lunch, sitting with lonely kids, etc. I try my best to stay out of fights, and most times I don't initiate them.

At home, however, I can be loud and tired at the same time. I'll be like: "SO GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AT SC- I'm tired ima go nap" and I'm also the peacemaker of the family, being the youngest.

My fashion usually varies from vampire goth to grunge. I mostly wear vampire goth outside of home, but at school I wear grunge cuz if I wear vampire goth I'll get bullied.

Thats all! I'm sorry if I didn't provide enough info! Make sure to take care of yourself ♡

You got…Emily | Carmilla | Vox!

Your best friend is Emily! Ever since the two of you met, you've always gotten along. She really likes your drawings and tries to read what you read, but she finds them a bit scary and will usually depend on you summarizing things for her so she doesn't have to go through any of the gruesome parts. She is probably very scared and very intrigued with Coraline.

Emily agrees that you are one of the sweetest people she's ever met; she never feels judged around you and always gets her thirst for adventure quenched with all the media you show her. Your style is so cool to her, she might even ask if you can help her do some gothy vampire looks.

Expect quite serene days spent having fun without worry. Emily will always be there to defend you, and she probably has a billion questions to ask you at all times.

One figure who would take you in is Carmilla Carmine. She already has two daughters whom she adores deeply, and so she has a lot of experience with teens and teaches them all they need to know.

Your fashion probably just matches her looks, and she is more than happy to help you pick out a proper, well-rounded wardrobe that not only suits exactly what you like but also matches her a little bit. Lots of red and grayscale clothing.

Carmilla reads a lot, usually with a glass of red wine, and she makes certain to keep a section of her bookshelf for you, full of books she thinks you might like. She's the type to read all of them in advance, so when you finish, you can talk to her about them to your heart's desire.

Expect a protective but free household; you and her other daughters are held to her highest standard, and anything your heart wishes, she will do her best to achieve. You are always welcome to join the family business, too.

Another parental figure you may have is Vox! Vox never planned to have kids or take any in; no, he probably thinks he hates kids! But there's an exception for everything.

He probably sneaks you into the V's tower after finding you alone, and he's already committed to getting you cleaned up and warm because, man, what is this kid doing all alone in hell? He can't just—well, he can't just leave you out there, can he?

The more time you spend together, the more he considers you his daughter. You have your own room that he's always bringing things into. He's the type to just knock until you let him in and then give you some random thing he got you. Single slice of pizza, hot chocolate—hey, look how fast he can solve a Rubics cube. Wanna play with this new drone I'm prototyping? I found the book you wanted!

Oh yeah, the fridge is covered in your drawings. Even if they're digital, he has a little digital screen that has a slideshow of your work, and he does his best to show interest in any hobby you pick up.

If he ever hears you say you won't do something because you'd be bullied, he would probably hand you a taser and money to go indulge in what you like and zap the shit out of anyone who pokes fun at you.

He's not a very good parent in terms of morals, but he won't let anyone hurt you or shame you. He would get Velvette herself to help you find your style and would probably bar Valentino from ever EVER meeting you.

Expect a lot of movie nights together, trying all his new technology first, and getting every ounce of support. You'll never be alone, and you'll always be safe because, unless you ask him not to, he's always checking in on you.

Author’s Note - I actually could not pick, I had so many ideas!! So I went for one friend and two (separate) parental figures! I hope thats okay, I was literally ranting to my friends all night about the indeas I got lmaooo

WIP Wednesday

Sometimes, Mav had to stop and look around just recognize that yes, this was his life now. He and Ice had been transferred to the Nimitz after their shore duty ended, along with Slider and the rest of their squadron. Lemoore itself—well, the assignment had been boring. He always found shore duty boring. But getting to spend all that time with Ice? Absolutely amazing. He and Ice weren’t stupid enough to spend every night together, or even every other night. No, they had to be more discrete than that. But even getting to sleep beside him two or even three nights each week was a gift, and Mav felt like the grayscale of his life was fading away, just a bit, with each night he got to spend touching Ice and each morning he got to wake up entwined with him, well-rested after a night free of nightmares. He didn’t like to think of those other nights, when he and Alleta would shake awake, flashes of cold water and green dye burned into their senses, flashes of gold dust dancing behind their eyes. (He also didn’t like to think about that Fourth of July celebration they had attended on base, along with Ice and Slider and their daemons. One moment he had been contemplating grabbing another hot dog before the fireworks began, and the next he had been falling through the sky, staring at the space around the cockpit where he seen the last traces of Larissa, that beautiful and terrible golden dust floating away through the air, dissolving into nothing like she had never existed. The next thing he had been aware of had been Ice and Slider’s urgent whispers as they carried his back to his house, slung over Slider’s back in a fireman’s carry as Ice had carried Alleta, who he had wrapped up in a tablecloth they must have taken from the picnic tables. Sophos was flying overhead, the light of the fireworks reflecting off her feathers. He had to look away from her before he got dragged down to the ocean again. That was the closest Ice had ever seemed to crying around him; his jaw was clenched so tightly it must have been painful, and his eyes were shining in the dim light. Mav never wanted to see his wingman like that again.)

But now they were on a carrier, bunking with Ice and Sophos and Slider and Bernadine. His new RIO, a kid named Toaster (he was still trying to get the story behind that) was bunking with them as well, along with his calico daemon Myla. Poor Toaster was completely awe-struck to be around them, stumbling his way through any conversations they tried to have with him. Mav could see that he was normal—relatively—in his interactions with other sailors and pilots, so he wasn’t sure how to get him to relax around them. “Classic hero-worship,” his CO hummed to him during lunch one day, watching Toaster and Myla walk away after Mav had tried to wave him over. The poor RIO had dropped his tray in surprise and was now going to get more food, much to the amusement of the other officers in the mess. “Well, it’s getting old in the cockpit, sir,” Mav shot back to Warlock, exasperated. “Kid’s good, I’ll give him that, but you try to engage him in any conversation other than what the radar is showing and he falls apart. Alleta and I reenacted Ghostbusters with each other on our last patrol just to stay entertained.” At Warlock's look he shrugged. "What? Bradley loves that movie." Warlock just hung his head.

Questions for the SK boys!! No idea if these have already been asked, but if they have, sorry, feel free to ignore!!

What would they do for a child under the control of abusive/manipulative parents, except the child either doesn't realize there's abuse or still feels some sort of attachment to the parents?

And also, relating to this, what if the abusers don't realize what they're doing is wrong, like they're either ignorant or was raised a certain way?

And then final question (sorry for the long ask length ;w;), we know Sun is a cat fanatic. Is there any animal Moon particularly enjoys above others?

LOVE this AU btw!!! I stayed up till like 1 AM last night binge-reading all the current chapters of the SK AU and MY GOD i'm hooked. obsessed with all the crime-solving and sleuthing happening... I love reading about stuff like that!!

The grayscale illustrations at random points in each chapter also perfectly set the mood!! Well done!!

hello! wanted to wait till i was at my computer to answer these >w<

If the child was unaware and still had an attachment to the parent, I think the boys' first step of action would be to report the abuse. Have the child be taken somewhere safe. Otherwise, they will go about their routine as normal and kill the abusive parent. They do keep in mind how it would affect the child, but decide it to be for the best...

That second bit is tricky, and one I've answered many times. I feel like the boys would give them one single chance to rectify things for the sake of the child(ren). If the parent doesn't realize or change their ways and are still perceived as a threat to kids, the boys target them without further question.

And I know I've answered this question before and I always forget my answers ;w; Moon doesn't mind cats, but they're not his fave. I think he'd like bats, or fish, reptiles. I can't remember ;w;

and thanks so much! I just hope we do it justice ;w;

and I'm glad people like the inclusion of the illustrations! I felt the need to after adding some to the very first drabble I ever did for the AU. Now I just need to commit ;w; I scroll through the story and find the best moments that could be illustrated. I am not the best at drawing gore, so I wouldn't expect any of that in the illustrations >w<

Since some people seemed interested, here are some music vids I'd love to make if I ever get the chance to start animating again (under a read more cause there's a lot of them):

Lithium//Evenescence- edgy Snowfrost PMV about her crimes. The vid would follow her actions from the beginning of Snowfrost's Fate all the way to her death at the end of Moon Rise. I would probably give cats edgy 2008-esque designs to go with it, because I'm crazy about that kinda thing. (This is the one I want to do the most tbh. I've already got a script made. If I could pass it on to someone so they could make this PMV real I would. I'd literally make all the designs for it too, probably even storyboard it)

We Are One//song from The Lion King 2- AMV featuring Wolfheart singing to Moonpaw. It'd probably be very colorful and have a lot of movement and would be a killer to animate. Their relationship is important and I like things that can show it

One Lonely Visitor//Chevelle- PMV about Jaybird and her relationship with her sister Snowfrost, taking place from Snowfrost's Fate up to Jaybird's death near the end of Moon Rise (another one I really really want made. This one also has a script created for it)

Pardon Me// He is We- This one would be a AMV/PMV mix; it would be about Snowfrost and Wolfheart's feelings for each other, which slowly fade over time. The vid would start out lighthearted, maybe colored in pastels, then become metaphorically and literally darker as the song progresses. Eventually it would depict Snowfrost having delusional thoughts about Wolfheart, about getting him back, or possibly making him another of her victims

Look What You Made Me Do// Taylor Swift- ok listen. I am not a fan of Taylor Swift, especially not this song. But after listening to it multiple times a day on the radio at work years back, back when SOTM was being plotted, I started imaging Situations to cope with it. And this song ended up perfectly fitting Nightshade's story in my head. So this would be a PMV about that. (Can't elaborate what that story is cause its major spoilers, you'll just have to wait and see.) This would be a vid I'd make by the time half of, if not all of, Moon Fall becomes published

Ghost// Saint Asonia- probaby a PMV/AMV mix including all the point of view characters in Signs of the Moon, and how they handle being a prophecy kid/having an omen hanging over their heads. It would probably be heavily focused on how these cats look to or turn away from Starclan for it as well. There would be a lot of action/movement/colors during moments when the music swells and especially during the bridge of the song (did I ever mention this is one of my favorite songs ever?)

Poor Unfortunate Souls//song from The Little Mermaid (animated version)- AMV/PMV of Hazepaw being visited by the ghost he's led to believe is Sea Breeze who's trying to help him

Pet//A Perfect Circle- AMV about the future POV Possumpaw and how he deals with his manipulative mother and asshole brother. The whole thing might be in black and white with the only color coming from cats' eyes and blood/tears. I have to think about Possumpaw's story more before I come up with specific details about what goes on in the video. I have a couple of ideas tho

Blue Lips//Regina Spektor- Swiftcloud AMV/PMV mix highlighting all of Moon Rise cause I think it'd be neat. The whole thing would be in grayscale with some details colored in blue

Brutus//The Buttress- Another PMV starring Nightshade. This one specifically is about her relationship with her mentor, Wolfheart. How much she looked up to him at first, then slowly came to hate him and seek his downfall

Lemon Boy//Cave Town- PMV about Urchinpaw and Hazepaw's budding friendship. The story would probably be told through Urchin's POV

Criminal//Britney Spears- PMV featuring Cloudypaw (a major character in Moon Fall) and her fatal attraction towards Nightshade's son, Weaslepaw

Behind Blue Eyes// Limp Bizkit- another PMV about Snowfrost and her story, told from more "sympathetic" pov because we support womens wrongs <3 this vid would show a lot more of the isolation and loneliness Snowfrost feels especially as she goes down her murderous path

How to Save a Life//The Fray- AMV with Tigerpaw/lily and Moonpaw/face regarding Moonpaw's cross clan friendship with Hazepaw/storm. The vid would be in Tiger's POV, showing her concern for her friend. Throughout you can see Tigerpaw's dislike and mistrust of Hazepaw while Moonpaw remains blind to his flaws. The disagreement puts a strain on the friendship which will also be shown thru the vid

Hellfire//song from The Hunchback of Notredom- AMV featuring Darkpelt who sings about his emotions pertaining to Nightshade (can't elaborate much because spoilers, but the tl;dr is he has a massive crush on her and does Night's bidding because of it, but he hates it as it goes against Starclan)

Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)// Chevelle- an AMV/PMV mix focused on Whisperpaw and her relationship with her family + dealing with her secret "ability"

Genius Next Door//Regina Spektor- another PMV about Swiftcloud. This time its her during Moon Fall, watching her kits grow and make choices, while her clan falls into chaos once more due to plot events I can't reveal atm

Warbringer: Jaina (Daughter of the Sea)//song from World of Warcraft- I have 2 different PMV ideas for this one. One is of Snowfrost's time at the beginning of her Super Edition, where she's dealing with her punishment of a Warriorpaw Ceremony and her growing feelings of anger during it. The other idea is a depiction of Sea Breeze's story

Werewolf// Motionless In White- Werewolf! Hazepaw AU. Idk how else to explain this one. I'd have to show the script for others to understand what it's about (its a WIP). This would be a Halloween video

Sally's Song// cover by Amy Lee- a PMV of Moonpaw singing about Hazepaw, with frames showing their relationship

#warrior cats ocs #can you tell I like edgy rock music and disney musicals or #also this list is ever growing cause I always come up with new ideas #I'll start a new post once I think of more #also when I say “start animating again” I do mean it. I used to animate using flipnotes and posted on hatena #theres an archive out there n I have my vids on it if anyone is interested in seeing em. although they're from 2012-2013 #so the art is bad lol. but Im still proud of them #I miss animating. I'll try n get back into it when I get a new and powerful enough pc #for now all these amvs will remain dreams #sotm video ideas #viti shoosh

HEY about your fhs au...... i hope you don't mind me asking nd also uhh i don't know if you would've prefered this ask on your other account but too late it's already here. is there a reason owynn's eyes are different sizes? is it something animal related or maybe incident related or does he just look like that because it looks cool as fuck?

Hello :D!!!!!!! Asks are fine on this blog dont worry! I also get its confusing that i have 2 accounts dw :,3 for the record i don't mind asks anywhere! Everyone is welcome to ask me anything anywhere, wether you are guaranteed a comprehensible response is another can of worms lol

To answer your question: the answer is a bit animal related, a bit of a rule of cool as fuck and a dash of the good old projection!!!

I have a LOT of eye issues that have required a ton of surgeries and dumb stuff and overall i just have a very shitty vision by my eyes being weird and unfixable, and then i also need glasses in the normal people astigmatism way so its a double hit! I wanted to give that to Owynn too in some capacity, and we played around a lil with how to do it.

First of all I'd like to present you with this, arthropods in our au all have really very noticeable eyes, we made it sort of an unspoken social rule for them to have to cover them since they look sorta freaky, which ties back to both cami and Loon having hair over their eyes!

Here I humbly present three of my creatures (vincent cami and loon) ((vincent is owynns brother)) who are not owynn just to set a reference to what arthropod eyes are normally like; as you can see they either got the full complete eye of a solid color (any eye color that you can normally get or just straight up black/white) and cami who is an interesting outlier I will explain in a bit! In general a lot of insects have this fun thing called "compound eyes", scorpions, which arent insects but arachnids, have "simple eyes" which insects also have but as extra help instead of their straight up eye. Since i don't want to doom every single scorpion person in this world to have the worlds worst sight I opted to also gave them the principle of compound eyes, and we represent the simple eyes other insects have with little spots on the skin, thats what the thing on camis forehead is :3 (i promise this is kinda important)

Cami does have compound eyes like all arthropods, but you might say "dawg i see her pupils right there" and thats where you are wrong! Mantis have this cool thing where they always look like their "pupils" are following you but its just an illussion. So she's kind of a nightmare without her hair covering her eyes because woups it just looks like shes permanently looking at you. Forever. thats awesome. Social rule of covering ur eyes with hair makes a little more sense now

So where does owynn fit on all of this, well, when i asked myself "how do i give someone with a billion of eyes an inherent eye problem that isn't fixable solely with glasses" i came up with: His eyes are shrinking

He still has heterochromia in the normal way, and his eyes shrinking is due to light sensitivity, the blue side is way more pigmented than the green one like its shown in that little grayscale thing, and because of that the green eye is MUCH more light sensitive and therefore way smaller, his glasses help him a lil with the whole light issue, but as a kid he just didn't wear them at all, which is why it got worse and worse and worse to where he is now, most people also assume he has ONE weird eye instead of two, because like I mentioned, arthropod eyes can be normal eye colors, OR straight up black/white. So since his green eye is so bright it blends a lot with the white part of his eye and people just think his eye is a flat white color and that the blue one is the weird part, once you get close to him you can actually realize how he has a way bigger issue on his green eye ^^

So he has normal eye problems that can be fixed with a prescription, and inherent eye problems that glasses can't fix! that being his green eye having seeing almost nothing, and losing a bit of range of sight on his blue one. the problem is mostly the green one ngl

#hope that cleared it up ^^#if you ask me something more specific than that chances are the answer is “idk :3”#ask response #thanks for askinggg i appreciate it <3 <3 <3 #ah also btw if you see drawings of little him with more normal looking eyes #the answer is we forgor #living changing organism we forgor

PLEASE give me moomin headcanons I want to hear them /gen

ALRIGHT. Well, this got longer than I thought it would so... enjoy <3

General - In and around Moomin Valley, same-sex couples, as well as polyamorous ones aren't all that uncommon. Adoption is also very common, there are a lot of children who need parents and a lot of couple who want kids but can't have them. - There are no humans in or near Moomin Valley, but a little ways out from the Valley are mixed-species settlements, though the further out from the Valley the less and less non-human species you'll come across.

Species-centric Mymbles - Mymbles are long-lived, non-monogamous, very large creatures. Easily being one of the tallest species around the Moomin Valley, they slowly grow and age after many years. They reach maturity at around 20 years, like many other creatures, but are only considered young adults in Mymble culture until they reach around 40 years of age, at which they reach their full height. They hit a growth-spurt somewhere in their late 20's to mid 30's and grow rapidly until they reach their 40's. - Mymbles can live upwards of a hundred and fifty years. - Mymble children almost always take after the Mymble parent, though will take certain aspects of the other parent. For example, Little My looks very similar to all of her other siblings, except she has sharp teeth and claws, which come from her other parent. - Mymbles rarely settle with one romantic partner, though it isn't unheard of. Mymblemamma/The Mymble actually fell in love romantically with the Joxter, who acts as a step-father for almost all the other kids when he's actually around. - The Mymble is an odd one in Mymble culture, having many, many, many children. While Mymbles will bear quite a few children, she took it to the extreme, having many sets of twins, triplets, and even a few quadruplets.

Mumriken - Singular is Mumrik, plural for a couple is Mumriks, plural for many is Mumriken - All Mumriken are very cat-like, with cat tails and cat ears. They also have cat-like eyes, which reflect light when it's dark, and have the trait of being able to see in near pitch-black conditions as if it were daytime, though everything is in grayscale at night. - Mumriken with tabby stripes, or spots, or wild-type markings like rosettes or tiger stripes are common, as well as those with white spotting in their fur, or two-toned fur. Their fur length also varies from person to person, some having shorter fur and others having long fur. - Mumriken don't have whiskers, but they do have fur over most of their body. (Think how the costumes from the Cats the musical broadway show look, with the fur around their faces but their face itself being mostly skin w/ markings.) - Surprisingly, Mumrik traits overpower most Mymble traits, and most other species' traits too when hybridized. Mymble-Mumrik hybrids are extremely rare, Snufkin being the only known offspring of a Mumrik and a Mymble. - Mumriken are also non-monogamous, and will have many partners over the course of their lives, whether romantic, sexual, or otherwise. It is rare for a Mumrik to settle for only one or two true loves. - They are all vagabonds at heart, preferring the open road and seeing many different places to staying in one spot for their whole lives. While not unheard of, and not looked down upon either, it's rare for a Mumrik to settle somewhere permanently, though there are a few cases of such happening. It's more likely to happen in hybrids then pure-blooded Mumriken. - Certain families of Mumriken have an ability called Forebodings. It can be prophetic dreams that may give a snapshot of a future event, or simply bad feelings or thoughts about things to come, or even the ability to see things where others can't, giving a peek into the future. The Joxter's family line, Snufkin included, all have this ability.

Moomintrolls - Moomintrolls look a little like white capybaras. They have wedge-shaped faces. They also have small eyes. Their claws are blunt, made for digging and foraging. - Moomintrolls, while omnivorous now, originally were herbivores, living off roots and plants that grew underground mostly. As such, most make very good farmers, and are adept as foraging. Many are able to identify whether a plant is edible or poisonous without being taught. - Moomintrolls aren't all pure-white. They tend to be slightly off-white, with Moominmamma being slightly yellow-tinted, and Moominpappa being slightly blue-tinted. They're born pure white an get their unique tint as they mature. Moomin himself is pretty white, but has a silver sheen to his fur, showing he'll be silver-tinted when he grows older. - Moomintrolls are very family-oriented. While many -trolls will move out on their own once they reach adulthood, it's very common to see multi-generation households with three or more generations of -trolls living together. - They are one of the few species which naturally hibernate. Snorks and Fillyjonks also naturally hibernate, but other species, like Mymbles, can force a hibernation. Likewise, -trolls can forego hibernation at will.

Snorks - Snorks have lion-like heads, including manes. All Snorks grow manes, regardless of their sex, though the length and thickness vary. The Snork has a short, nearly non-existent mane while Snorkmaiden's is very long, thick, and luscious. Snorks with the biggest, most well-kept manes tend to be seen as more attractive than those with smaller ones. - Snorks have the ability to change their fur color at will. When they're born they don't have the best control over this, and as such it'll change with any emotion they feel. As they grow older and better get a handle on their ability, this stops happening... unless they want it to happen. - Snorks, in the past, were carnivores, and as such have sharp teeth and claws. They have great senses of smell and and even better eyesight, though they tend to be far-sighted, and many require glasses or contacts due to this. - Snorks, while being communal creatures, don't tend to stay close to family once they reach adulthood, moving out on their own as soon as they can. They tend to have large friend groups instead. - Snorks, like Moomintrolls, don't tend to have specific names, but they will sometimes have family names that are passed down. Neither Snorkmaiden and her brother, nor the Moomintroll family have family names.

Character-centric Snufkin - Snufkin when he was younger looked very much like a typical Mymbleling, bright orange hair, short, and a thin tail with a tuft at the end. As he aged he looked more and more like a Mumrik, fur darkening and growing more, claws and teeth sharpening, and tail filling out. He's nearly indistinguishable from a pure Mumrik. - He's the tallest of his friend-group currently, though once they all reach maturity he'll be the second tallest. - He has heterochromia. I'm basing this off of the fact that some depictions of him give him brown eyes and others green eyes, so he gets one brown and one green eye. - He also has phantom-stripes in his fur, they're barely noticeable but there. Think of a black panther, how in certain light you can see their spots even when they're normally hidden. - Snufkin can play the harmonica, acoustic guitar, piano, and flute. - He's trans! - He's polyamorous, and pansexual. - His birthday is June 15th, and I hc him to be anywhere from 19 to early 20's depending on what idea I have. - He's thin but has muscle, think a healthy cat. - Transmasc (perhaps even a transmasc enby, but I am unsure) - He has anxiety, and suffers from panic attacks. (They can range from a normal, freaking out panic attack to getting super irritated and snapping at everyone panic attacks). He also has ADHD. - Went invisible as a Mymbling, he was the quietest of the bunch and therefore overlooked for his louder, more trouble-making siblings. Because of this he felt unwanted and went invisible and then left the Mymblehouse, never returning. Being on the road made him turn visible again. ((The Joxter and Mymble both remember him though don't recognize him at first, but are quick to both apologize and he doesn't blame nor spite either in the slightest.)) [ I know canonly he's like, put in a basket on a river or something but idk that seems.... i just don't Like That because I don't think The Mymble is a Bad Parent persay, just has Too Many Kids, especially back then when she was still pretty new at being a mom.]

Moomintroll - Moomin is the youngest of the group. His birthday is August 3rd. - He's shorter than Snufkin by a few inches, a fact that never ceases to annoy him. - He's probably one of the strongest of everyone, able to lift boulders with ease when he reaches maturity. He never really grows up, but he gets really muscular with a healthy padding of fat. (Think lumberjack, but like, not a body-builder yknow?) - He stays with his parents because he tried to move out a few times but every time realized he didn't like living alone, it was too quiet and lonely even with frequent visits. - He's a great cook! He learns from Mamma, unwillingly at first but finds he actually enjoys it! And is good at it! He especially likes to bake, but doesn't have much reason to most of the time, not that it stops him. - He can also write and tell stories really well! He's very good at embellishing his words, as well as prose and descriptions. When he tells a story, everyone listens. He gets this from his dad. - He's a bit of a homebody even if he pretends not to be. Moomin longs to travel like Snufkin, with Snufkin, but after doing so once he realized he actually likes being at home. Travels and adventures have their merit and charm, but he doesn't think he could be like Pappa or Snufkin and travel most of his life. - He has a wild imagination, a - Moomin also has a snarky streak a mile wide. He can be super sarcastic, though it never comes across as mean because everyone knows him too well. - He's kind to a fault and always believes the best in everyone he meets. All he wants to do is help anyone who needs it and be friends with as many people as he can. - Moomin is a transman, and knew very early on that he was trans. Both his parents were immediately accepting of this. - He suffers from seasonal depression. He's also autistic. - He's bi!

Snorkmaiden - The tallest AND strongest of all of them. She can lift Moomin, Snufkin, and Sniff all at once with ease. - Second oldest, her birthday is May 22nd. - When she was younger she couldn't quite control her color-changing, all of her fur changing with every strong emotion she had. Now that she's older she has it mostly under control, so her color-changing is relegated to her mane and tail-tuft, and only when she has really strong emotions or she lets herself change colors. - She likes to weave flowers and shiny things into the fur of her mane. - At some point she grows her mane out, going from just bangs to a whole, wavy, flowing mane. - She's a transwoman (perhaps even genderfluid. She/her/they Snorkmaiden???) - Her and Moomin dated when they were teenagers and broke off amicably because both realized they weren't ready for a relationship. This changes when they get older. - She is a great singer, and likes to make up lyrics to Snufkin's Spring Tunes. - She lives with her brother, and eventually moves in with Moomin, which is very uncommon for her species. She's fine with being seen as weird, after all, she's with those she cares for. - She likes fashion and clothing and dressing up, and will drag anyone in her vicinity into joining her in doing so. She also really likes make-believe, and doesn't always want to play the part of a princess. Sometimes she wants to be evil, or a knight, or even a fierce dragon. - Snorkmaiden has OCD, and autism like her brother. - She's very very very bi.

Little My - The oldest of the group, being 4 year older than the others. Her birthday is July 10th. - She grows, but never reaches Mymble Height, staying the shortest of everyone she knows, though she does grow eventually to be nearly eye-to-eye with Sniff. - Her and Mym(ble Jr) have the same father, and she is actually a twin. - She likes to cause problems on purpose. If there isn't anything fun to do, she'll make something happen. - She is extremely smart and very good at problem-solving, as well as math and science, but she hates to admit this. - She has the typical Mymble horns (antenna?), and at one point debated cutting them off because she didn't like how they looked, but ultimately decided to keep them because she realized they were cool. - She lives for chaos, hates things being calm and quiet. - Little My has been arrested no less than five times. She broke out of jail every time, before a bail could be set. She is very proud of this fact. Even Snufkin is impressed. - She didn't realize Snufkin was her sibling, sh - Aggressively Asexual. To the point where whenever someone is being affectionate in public she makes a snide comment because she can. (She actually doesn't mind but she has a reputation to uphold). - She lives part of the year with the Moomins, part of the year with her sister and Too-Ticky, and sometimes just straight up disappears for a few weeks. (She goes back to the Mymblehouse but never admits this.) - She has ADHD. - She's the only cis one of the bunch /jk. She's genderqueer but doesn't care what pronouns others use for her. She personally goes by she/her.

Relationships - Snufmin/Spring Dove (Snufkin/Moomin) ; Very good ship, and one I am partial to. I love the angst of Snufkin leaving every winter. If I'm going this route I like to imagine that Snorkmaiden and Moomin broke up because they realized they weren't right for each other, and that Moomin is In Love With Snufkin, while Snufkin knew he loved Moomin for years and never said anything. - Springtime Trio (Snufkin/Moomin/Snorkmaiden) ; My OTP (OT3?), and what I tend to think about the most. I like to imagine that it starts out in a 'Moomin has two hands' situation, where Snufkin is dating Moomin and Snorkmaiden is dating Moomin, but Snufkin and Snorkmaiden aren't dating each other, yet. Until they end up talking, and getting closer, and getting crushes on each other, and then getting together so all three are equally dating each other. - Mymble Jr/Too-Ticky - Idk I really like these two together, and then add Ninny as Too-Ticky's adopted younger sister who both loves them and hates how grossly in-love they are? Perfect. - Little My/Snorkmaiden - I think these two definitely dated at some point, and whether it works out or they break up depends.

Review #0008: Air-Sea Battle (Atari 2600)

This is a game that I found really, really interesting as a kid because of it being ‘cartridge 01’, so to speak. The very first alphabetic game of the 2600’s launch lineup in 1977. It’s great to finally have an easy option to play it via Flashback Classics, however this is also one of the 3 carts that I actually own for the system too. Would’ve wanted to play it that way, too bad I uh, exploded my 2600 Jr. some time back. Switch it is.

Graphics (3.5/5)

Yeah, this works! The graphics are super simple, even simpler than what was in arcades at the time. They did manage to make it work really well for such an early release, however. Most aircrafts and marine transportation is accounted for, and the shooting gallery has funny pixelated ducks and smiley faces. That’s what we call a win. I’m also decently impressed by the explosions that happen when you shoot something.

My favorite aspect is definitely the shaded background that has various layers of color. At this point, all the games I played were either in grayscale or had overlays for their colors (Super Bug, Breakout). Having actual color and pretty NICE colors at that, that vary between modes, it’s not bad at all for a first release, honestly.

Sound (4/5)

The classics. These sound effects live in fame for being the quintessential ‘generic video game’ noises that every TV show ever used. I love them. They’re silly as heck and that’s perfect. The ‘oomph’ when the opponent hits something, the wacky ‘whoop’ noise when you yourself do so, it’s brilliant in it’s simplicity. Even if there's not a lot of them.

Gameplay (3/5)

I don’t have a lot to say about this. It’s simply shooting stuff out of the air, or shooting each other á la Combat, with less control than that game. It’s okay to play alone, though there’s no reason to come back to it once you have conquered the challenges set up on the outside. Playing with friends is alright for a bit too. Definitely an improvement over what Fairchild and RCA had to offer at the time in that regard.

Longevity (3.5/5)

What is nice about this game, unlike a lot of other 2600 launch games, is that you can play all major modes on your own, even if it’s against a very weak AI. That alone makes this one last a bit longer, as you could hunt down high scores if you wanted to. 27 different variations available in TOTAL as long as you have a pal, that’s not too shabby either. If you accept that most of them are very similar to one another, you can last a while with this cart alone.

Atari Logbook requires you to get high scores on game #12, upwards of 58 points for the ‘Wizard’ rating, whilst Flashback Classics ups the ante by asking you to hit a max score of 99 on game #15.

Neither are very difficult, but it gives the game a little bit more life.

Overall

This game is very important. It’s top of the list in any Atari catalogue (well, that or Combat), it was heavily advertised at the start of the console’s life, Sears had it as the pack-in game for the console. It’s still solid. If you have a friend who looooves retro games, you’ll have a good time for a bit, I can assure you. Singleplayer doesn’t hit the mark nearly as well, but the fact that it DOES exist is a godsend for 1977 standards. And who doesn’t like classic Atari sounds?

It all goes downhill from here.

Ed,

I finally cracked that big project I told you about! I'll give you the details when I have more space, but the story involves seven types of metal, a new spring design, and the promise of my lemon ice box pie recipe. In other words, your wife is a genius—but you already knew that!

It’s been nice to be back in Rush Valley. It will be just as nice to be home again. Should be three days by the time you get this post card. Give all my love to the kids, but keep some for yourself.

Probably speaking to the void, but I'd been thinking about this for a while and thought I'd give my 2 cents to no one in particular.

I agree the way the ping changes are happening isn't the greatest. Phreak's comment on "just type karthus ult" comes off snarky at best, and the ping system absolutely is great for quick comms. If it wasn't, it wouldn't exist in so many games.

But to people who are acting like this is a bizarre overreach from Riot and you can't understand it?

It's just you and me here, faceless internet reader. Let's be honest with ourselves. League is a notorious salt mine. I love this game, been playing for over a decade with no intention to stop, and I've even met fun people online through the game. But a healthy community it is not.

You're right, a ping for someone's ultimate is the quick and easy way to request the assist. But I bet you anything that's not how you use it, a quick and calm communication tool. It's a half-dozen pings of frustration after you're already looking at grayscale, or a random question mark when they miss a minion, cause your camera is on their lane instead of yours.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be allowed to ping. I'm just saying, I'm not surprised it's a method Riot's trying to reduce toxicity complaints when the question mark ping is so synonymous with said toxicity.

This is just a small part of a greater problem I have with a lot of the gaming industry, really. A problem I have with good friends as well. Yeah, I get it, shit talking is fun. Witty dunks and quick thinking are a lot of fun to pull off and style on folks. I just don't understand why everyone is so set on putting others down for their own fun. Maybe I watched too many sportsmanship episodes of Disney Channel shows as a kid, but shit talking at all levels has never sat right with me, I'd rather be polite to other players and save the dicking around to the friends who I have established repartee with and know I'm just playing around. You wouldn't just walk up to a perfect stranger and playfully call them a shithead like you might do to your friends.

So yeah, Riot should probably should revert a number of these ping changes. But maybe if we as a community were a little less okay with people being dicks to each other, they wouldn't feel the need to take big swings like this. Maybe it's a meet half way thing, not sure. Just don't want to see the hobby I love become a place of mean spirited folk.
