Hard to find screenshots of the next update that aren't massive spoilers honestly, because I don't wanna ruin it for you, but... I enjoy this next bit thoroughly. You'll see it soon enough :)
I’ve got a Raph request, too! Maybe sometime after the movie, Raph goes out into the city on his own and just beats up a garbage can, venting stress and trauma that he’s been panting up for a while?
He got busted by his little bro. But not before he busted that guy's bin lol
It's hot. Heatwaves in the UK are no joke, lemme tell you.
I know I haven't streamed for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be doing that again for a little while, either. This weekend I'm taking some kids on residential, which will include putting up their tents, cooking for them, and going to all their activities with them, and then I go straight back into the work week when I get back... (6am start on Monday yayyyyyy...) basically I don't have a day off for a couple weeks, which will probably take its toll on me and my ability to draw.
I will stream again! Just not for a little bit. I'll try to queue some art to post over the weekend so you get something to look at while I'm gone!

I'd like to see raph with his anxiety overthinkyness (what no im totally not project what hahahha) bc of his large empathy for everyone he knows. He loves his brothers and whAT DO YOU MEAN THEYRE JUMPING OFF A BUILDING TO SEE WHO FALLS FASTER THEYRE GONNA DIE
Oh for sure, I can do that
Normal big brother activities.
They walked in three minutes later having stopped for ice cream I bet.
Can we get a MASSIVE W for you, for being a Christian that isn't transphobic and who actually knows what material they're reading and can recognize it's shortcomings in modern society!!! Seriously, I'm tired of all the ones who claim to follow the Lord's word and then proceed to only cherry pick the parts that allow them to scrutinize other people!! What ever happened to "Love Thy Neighbor"?!! Why are they shoving His words in His mouth and using them to attack people He tells them to love?!!!
Thank you, my love. At the end of the day, someone I love dearly came out as trans and the option was to love her or lose her. When you actually understand even an iota of what it feels like to be trans (or any part of the LGBT community, for that matter) you have to accept that it is far, far more than (and I spit this phrase out with venom) a "lifestyle choice".
LGBTQ+ people are safe with me. You always have been, you always will be. God loves all of you, even those parts you or other people struggle with, and they intended you to be this way.
You have unlocked a rant, though, so you're welcome for this (but I am going to put it under a cut for people who aren't feeling like reading today)
Why do they do this? Because someone, somewhere, stands to gain something from it. Not them, necessarily. But someone.
Causing division makes people a loooot of money, and those people very often plough that money into churches because they think it makes them righteous. Which it doesn't.
The absolute irony of protestants doing this when that's exactly what Martin Luther was so peeved about.... and would you believe it, that's exactly what the Pharisees and religious leaders were doing? You know, those guys that Christians love to dunk on and think themselves better than?
All I'm saying is, if your pastor rolls up to church on a Sunday in a flash 26-plate Bentley, there's probably something very wrong in the institution somewhere.
But I digress....
The people making money make everybody else in those churches fear for their own salvation by talking extensively about an over-egged version of hell, and making it a very real concept to them (which, in my eyes, ignores the whole "trusting in God for our salvation" bit. You know, that teeny tiny, absolute fundamental of our faith) At which point, scared people try to take things into their own hands.
What I think I'm trying to say is, the guys you've encountered who are spreading hate? They're frightened. They've been made frightened, egotistical and self-righteous by the organisation that claims to love them, but that loves their wallet (or more likely, their parents' wallets) more. And most of them are kids. Fun fact - Teenagers brains don't develop the ability to see nuance (or grey areas) until they're a bit older (trust me, I really tried to find a reference for this information but my search engine was not having it. I learned it in child development somewhere ughhhh). They're taught that everything is black and white, and therefore they see everything in black and white. And if you don't challenge that, your brain doesn't develop the ability to critical think.
They live in a toxic echo chamber and they need love and understanding, not whatever they're getting now.
But that's not your job. As long as you resist the urge to yell at them and reinforce their unhealthy teachings then you're doing great. The block and unfollow buttons exist for a reason, and you're so valid for just blocking them out. Or even just saying, "this is hateful and looks bad coming out of a Christian" and just... leave it at that. The more nudges they get that challenge their beliefs, the more they'll be pursuaded to do the work.
Important note - I am not perfect. I am FAR from perfect. I just know, thanks to good, healthy Bible teaching, that God has made me perfect in their own eyes, even though I don't deserve it and I keep messing up. I've just gotta do my best, and love my neighbour.
“For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’” – Galatians 5:14
“And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.” – 2 Timothy 2:24
"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." - Colossions 4:5-6
Yikes, we've just breached 200 panels on Say Help! Still reeling over having a project this big that I'm still working on. Wowee.
Oh, yeah, so I can draw Splinter now I guess. Which I'm very excited about lemme tell you. And I also really enjoy the faded look on Leo and Mikey when they're in the background, which I almost didn't do, but I'm glad I did it. There's nothing like having a long-form project for teaching you a heck of a lot about your medium. 10/10 would recommend.

Imagine Usagi visiting the Hamato Clan and trying out pizza? His mind would be blown lol
I guess it depends on which version of Usagi? Considering I know absolutely nothing about the character because I haven't got that far in either 2012 or 2003, I guess it would depend on your take.
Anyone recommend any fics?? I bet someone must have had this idea too!
I’m curious that there hasn’t been many big TMNT dubbing channels? Mainly, ones that specifically dub either official or fanmade TMNT comics, old or new, on the quality of Adrenaline Dubs(which specifically does Sonic comic dubs with solid audio/video productions. Not dissing others at all, I love Create 2 Glorify’s YouTube channel, she’s great. I love Starforce Media, they dub Transformers, Sonic, and TMNT comics, and there’s now so many others out there with impressive efforts that are too many to list. SuperShadic X250 is also underrated, they dubbed happyfoxx-art’s Aftermath Arc 1 LE0TMNT’s Survivor’s Guilt(both of which are incredible dubs that will immediately want you to check out those comic artists, they’re awesome).
You know, if I'm honest, ROTTMNT was the first fandom I even encountered dubbing in. Genuinely, I'd never seen it before, and so I have absolutely no frame of reference!
But yes, Create 2 Glorify (or @truths33k3r4 if you like) is super cool, and I'm assuming you will have encountered @moonwritersblog too.
Anyone want to suggest any other awesome TMNT dubbers?
As a fellow high-masking AuDHD individual, might I suggest Raphie amongst a hoard of stuffed animals?? I love stuffed animals.... I suggest giant squishmallows, because they're cute, huggable, and also relatively easy to draw lol
But of course~
I do love nesting when things get overwhelming....

You did say the ask box was open what’s some of Ralph’s AuADHD habits :P
Ooooo okay so like... there's a lot already in the show. These are off the top of my head and I'll add the episodes or references when I think of them.
He's clearly hyper-empathetic (crying for Warren and Hypno anyone???) And hyper-emotional (literally any time Splinter complements them oop). He struggles without his safe people (Man Vs Sewer) and, like all of the turtles, you see him stimming when he's excited. Like, a lot. (One example is in The Evil League of Mutants when they find out about their Lou Jitsu DNA. Also in E-Turtle when they land in a Lou Jitsu set. Also maybe when he becomes Red Fox II... need I go on?)
I'd say he gets a lot of sensory feedback from being physical - not just sparring, like with Frankenfoot, but also dancing, like at the start of Down With The Sickness.
And, as already said in a previous ask, I think his breakdown ("everyone's depending on me. Why can't I do this?") from the Season 2 finale is pretty close to an autistic meltdown. That, and when his patience breaks and he attacks Leo in the movie. He seems to be very good at holding it all in until it overwhelms him.
But as for something I could see him doing that may not necessarily be evidenced in the actual show...
I think he's a sensory chewer. In my head, he was like a puppy when he was teething, and being a snapping turtle, those teeth are pretty sharp!
Saw you're art from the neurodivergent stream and noticed you'd like some Raph requests.
My personal headcanon with Raph is that he is really good at holding together under stress in the sense that he can push his own stress down for his brothers but breaks down as soon as they all are safe and the danger has passed.
And also that the others know of this and are ready for his meltdowns.
Could i maybe have some brothers hugging an overwhelmed Raph?
100% agree with you. Season 2 finale all over - keeps pushing through and pushing through until he breaks. You're so right and you should say it.
Here ya go! Have a Raph and bros fresh back from one of their more harrowing missions. He is in the process of cracking. He's getting there. Give him a little time.
