Reminder That Blue Is Still Working On This Fic That Is Relevant To The Previous Iteration Of The TMNTPIE

Reminder that Blue is still working on this fic that is relevant to the previous iteration of the TMNTPIE AU (back in 2016) and is a rewrite of the first fic.

It’s not relevant to the current TMNTPIE AU, but it is still relevant if you wanna know the characters of Dark Ghost and Dark Toast because the two of them will be appearing in the current TMNTPIE AU

Also Blue will be posting this AU’s story on AO3 so keep an eye out for that-

@tmntober-2023 day 10: under appreciated non-turtles!

Have John Bishop! Or as he’s named in my AU, John Bishop Toast.

Yeah. Bishop is Toast and Gavin’s “father.” Sort of father anyway… one could technically also call him their older brother.

He is similar to the 2003 version of him, and has a lovely cloning hobby on the side. That’s where Toast and Gavin come from. Their both Bishop’s clones who he raised as his sons due to seeing potential in the two super soldiers.

There is also a lot more to him that I won’t get in to now, but I felt like sharing that fact about him and the Toast twins’ connection.

Practice self care today, Stars.

Take a shower or bath, even if it is for only 5 minutes.

Get out of bed today, even if it is only to go to the bathroom.

Brush your teeth, if only for a few seconds.

Eat something, even if it’s small.

I’m rooting for you :)

Blue and I worked together in this and are very proud of the new profile picture for our socials :3

Blue did the coloring and shading outside of the eyes and I did the line work.

I suck at drawing hands… don’t look too close on those ;^;

Btw: yes. My artwork closely resembles Blue’s because they were the one who taught me how to draw. Mikel too actually…

Blue = everyone’s teacher in here I swear-

Trauma and distress should not be used as a measurement to decide who is most worthy of community or support or a shoulder to cry on. We're all worthy. Regardless of whether what you went through was one big hurricane or a dozen smaller thunderstorms. Trauma is trauma. Nobody should be competing here.

Positive reminder that you can get better. That you can better yourself and do better by others.

Remember that Zuko, the most loved character in Avatar the Last Airbender, was once an antagonist. That he did some questionable things. That he had betrayed his uncle and the gaang. But he bettered himself.

Zuko regressed during his redemption arc, and you will too, but remember that he learned and grew from his mistakes and became the fandom’s most beloved character.

Be like Zuko. Don’t give up on bettering yourself because you regressed and because people hate/are angry with you. It takes time. If his redemption arc only lasted a few episodes, then it wouldn’t have had the lasting impact that it has today.

Your redemption arc is underway. Don’t stop fighting to become a better version of yourself, Stars.
