TJ | nb | queer | ace | writer, editor, & artist | official scarian overlord and spokesperson Multi-fandom, currently focusing on Hermitcraft & ROTTMNT. Always happy to chat, please come say hi! Editing Commissions: OPEN (MESSAGE ME) ao3: definitelynotshouting icon by: cosmic-nopedog

WELCOME TO THE BRAINROT CORNER

Things to know about me:

  • I go by TJ, but you can call me Shout or Shouting if you want as well!
  • I am an autistic adult
  • they/he/it pronouns
  • professional freelance editor, avid fic writer, currently decomposing under a Waffle House parking lot.

This is my writing and art sideblog! I'm multifandom, with a current focus on Hermitcraft/3rd Life & ROTTMNT-- but you'll see other stuff here from time to time. I'm also a Kemetic pagan, so you'll also see art or aus relating to that occasionally! If you're curious about this, I'm open to questions, but if they aren't in reference to my art or aus, I'd prefer them to be asked privately :)

On that note, I love interacting with people! Full stop! If for any reason you're nervous about talking to me, you're always welcome to send me an ask on anon. As a quick aside though, I am disabled and very very low on spoons all the time, so it might take me a bit to respond to something if it involves any in-depth questions/conversations. I generally respond faster to asks off anon or dms.

On occasion I take editing commissions. You can find a link to my commissions carrd in the links section, as well as links to my ao3, the hermit/trafficshipping collection I run, my seldomly used twitter now on bluesky!!, a masterpost of my current longfic, and my kofi if you feel like tipping me. Thanks for stopping by! 👋🫡

ask box is ALWAYS open!!! i just take a bit to respond sometimes sdjkfnksjdnf but tysm for asking abt my au!! ive been a little quiet about it but im enthused to finally try and explain it a little :D

so the short answer is: about a month before the movie takes place, Leo has a bighuge blowout fight with Raph, finds out about the Foot Clan's plans to release the Kraang and cause the apocalypse, and decides to go on a solo mission to retrieve the key and find a way to destroy it-- without telling anybody. Along the way he runs into and begins to travel with Hypno and Warren (on their honeymoon) and then Cassandra (searching for her two friends who mysteriously disappeared very recently), while the Mad Dogs at home frantically try to connect the dots and figure out where Leo went, why, and what hes been hiding from them all along

thats the tldr; im slowly writing this as a fic, so i dont want to give TOO much about the plot away, but i can give u a few more deets:

  • The night Leo discovers what the Foot Clan's up to is the night he and Raph fight
  • The fight is so bad it fundamentally destabilizes Leo's already shaky sense of belonging within his family, leading directly to his solo mission
  • (Raph does apologize to him later, but Leo is not around to hear it)
  • That same night is also when one of Leo's katanas melts during a confrontation with the Foot Clan, which is why he has the tantō shown in @jade-of-mourning's absolutely STUNNING fanart you linked in this ask (THANK YOU LYCHEE ILYSM LYCHEE). he picks it up a bit later in the story, after he leaves NYC
  • I am sending his ass to L.A.

bonus that makes me laugh like a lunatic every time i think about it: Warren and Hypno are in L.A. specifically to avoid the turtles during their honeymoon crime spree. you can imagine how this works out for them

Something about Don really realizing he almost lost his brother forever after the whole jumping into another dimension ordeal and being uncharacteristically affectionate

I just like to imagine at some point after that donnie just came up and gave him a really long silent hug, which says a lot in terms of how he usually expresses himself

they're divorced. they weren't even married. this isn't romantic. they're definitely not platonic. they're cinematic parallels. they are fighting the narrative. they slowly built their relationship. they rely and trust each other. they were aggressively thrown into this. they want to bite each other's head off. they kill for each other. they live for each other. they should kiss. they would put each other in a blender. they're insane. they don't even realise. they're fully aware it.
