wanted to draw myself a new header thingy so i sprung for a fun lil screenshot redraw :)
then added a bunch of extra fuzz and noise cos apparently my brains not happy till shit looks like it came outta the 90s era shitty mini tv in ur besties basement that puts off so much static ur hairs stand on end from six feet away
When Mikey first found Donnie, it was as Donatello Agitando. A boss fight. With Shelldon's help, Mikey was able to set Donnie free and Donnie was able to explain what had happened.
He'd built the Turtleverse™ as a virtual space where he and his brothers could try and sort through their trauma in relative peace and safety. But during the process, something's gone terribly wrong and a rouge program has taken control. It's pulled all four brothers into this virtual reality, intent on freeing them of all fear and pain, of giving them a world that never changes.
And it seems like it's not just the Rise brothers that have had their brains yanked into the Turtleverse either...
"who gave this child coffee?? WHO GAVE THIS CHILD COFFEE?!??" my reblogs cry
it was me, i'm not sorry >:)c
*taps microphone* yes, thank you for tuning in 😌✨ now go follow the creator of the Alpha Stage/de-aged!Donnie AU, @snailsnaps and consume their content (not literally /j)
And I had absolutely NO IDEA that I'd have such an amazing year ahead of me. This series, this fandom, this love – they sweeped me right off my feet and I'm still floating in the cotton candy clouds of all the warmth I've gotten to give and received in turn. I've even made new friends, oh my goodness. I love y'all so much. And I'm infinitely grateful to all of you here, thank you so much for being so kind and loving.
I don't know what the next twelve months will look like but NQK is still ongoing (and it will have its own first anniversary in December!), my love for Rise and all of you guys is still ongoing, and I do hope to get to spend many more lovely moments here, with you. 💜
I thought about doing a redraw to celebrate the occasion but I'm too attached to this original piece and all the feelings I associate with it, so it'll stay as is. <3
