Trigger warning for sensitive topics.
The ferryman is a predator!
I hate how a few people are interpreting him as a “savior” or as somehow being the Lesser of Two evils. When he is NOT!
He stalks Noone, awaits for an opportunistic moment where she is at her most vulnerable in order to take her, then there’s his connection to the Maw, which had “kidnapping children for the elite”as an old official description.
Seriously, the whole idea behind the Maw and the Ferryman taking children to work there or worse to be “eaten” sounds so much like child trafficking. All he is missing is an old white van.
We know how awful the Nowhere is and what awaits the children who have the misfortune to get taken there, they get mistreated, forced to work/perform, eaten, killed and far worse.
The story is not a “OMG, Yesssss! Noone got away from her abuser!”
Otto is terrible, but the Ferryman is much, much worse. I just can’t see how people can see the ending as a triumph, as being better off, much less being good for Noone, when her ending is pretty much a life sentence or Horror beyond her comphresion. (A quiet acceptance of the terrible reality around her)
If anything the story is a cautionary tale about how society has failed children, how trauma breeds more trauma and how this can drive kids into far worse situations than they were originally in. All because society and the adults and what should be their net of support all failed them.
This right here. Otto and the Ferry/Candlebro may both be monsters, but Otto is still and has always been a victom of the Candle/Ferryman same as the children that were directly taken.
But CandleFerry man is getting compensation and benefits for his work. Otto just wanted his sister back.

— mommy issues
and here's the lil animation that blew up on tiktok! yes hi i made this, look at the sillys :]
this is based on my version of the Dreamtale twins, and it takes place after they established a truce and learned how to be brothers again!! i'm planning to talk a lot about my verse soon so stay tuned for that! also, lets be honest, their mom wasn't good to them
Nightmare: pff, your mom Dream: you're my brother. that's your mom too, jackass Nightmare: don't care, never liked her

Do you think it bothers Dust that Killer doesn't seem to have any remorse for doing the same things that haunt him in a very literal way? Do you think it bothers Killer that Dust pretends not to feel anything when he's lost the luxury of feeling? Do you think it bothers Horror to hear that Cross was raised with his Alphys like a sister when his betrayed him? Do you think it bothers Cross that Horror is part of the gang when he still has an au and people to go back to, where Cross feels like he'll never have his again? Do you think Nightmare gets them all happy meals when they've been good?

the fact that Otto is def another victim of the FerryMerry man is also tragic.
Forget Noone failing the "with the power of friendship we can vanquish the evil" trope. Otto should have been the one to get his stupid act together and really figure out how to get his luggage unpacked so he could save Noone.
but he couldn't let go of his sister and was too eager to try and try to reach the Nowhere, it blinded him. Messed everything up. We know his Cece is probably very much already gone, if not dead then she's some sort of unrecognizable horror. Not naming names....
ˣᴉˢ
It probably wasn't the Ferryman intent to get like an associate in the other world which would supply a consistent supply of cargo, but he's probably not complaining.
And the fact that people trying to do the Sounds of Nightmares transcripts but are struggling to finalize them due to the FerryMerry man being an absolute nightmare to comprehend, should give you context to his absolute villainy.

Draxum's Nightmare: A Post-ROTTMNT Movie Comic, Part 3/9
Tumblr media
First || Prev || Next
On a personal note I HATE having to draw Draxum's big shoulder pad sleeve things they make me so MAD and I don't know why but I actually hate them and then it dawned on me that I'm the artist... I can change his fit... I can draw him however I like...!
So minor wardrobe change for Mr. Warring Warrior Scientist over here he is so much easier to draw now :D
Also a few fun details: The posters on Draxum's wall include: my classifications and categories of ROTTMNT magic, a Draxum version of Leonardo da Vinci 's "the Vitruvian Man", and a list of several ROTTMNT artists/writers/animators/creators that I follow
Tumblr media
I hope the artists don't mind me tagging them... @filsa-mek @hatekawa @funneylizzie @kathaynesart @somerandomdudelmao @ashwii @angelpuns @sariphantom @imaginashon @tapakah0

I like you! *hands you killer as a pony <;3*
Since killer is typically depicted as very "knife-happy" I decided to give him some blade attachments on his wings! :]
Not 100% in love with this design but if I need I'll just tweak it later lol
I forgot his freaking cutie mark!! dangit! ok I'll add that later gjdgf
