Man I'm really trying to not take too much time between the updates for the Gearing Up comic, but between the TMNT Fashion Comp and other IRL stuff and.... y'know.... comics being a bit time-consuming to make in general, it just is how it is
Anyway, ya'll can get a sneakpeek of the upcoming part in the meantime :]
Both Donnie and Mikey are disabled in this AU. Mikey has rather Severe Hypoglycemia, and Donnie's wings have permanent muscle atrophy.
Donnie's battle shell acts as a brace to support his wings (they didn't develop right due to the lack of support his soft shell gives) with out his brace he can't lift his wings properly, which prevents him from walking correctly, leaving him stumbling on his feet.
Mikey's Hypoglycemia affects him heavily. Leo and Donnie always have Orange juice, gummy's, glucose tablets, honey sticks, and rock candy on them for Mikey cause he forgets to grab snacks a lot. when his Blood sugar drops to much he will get dizzy, slurs his speech, get uneven breathing, sensory overload, and blurry vison.
Raph and Leo don't think of them as "weaker" or "less capable". in fact they are so proud of their little bros for being so awesome all the time and not letting their disability's hold them back... but their still super worried for them, all the time... protective big bros activate!!!
What if they have tic tac toe matches on Donnie’s battle shell lol
Putting my rambles here because oh boy this drawing has been a journey to work on lol
I started this back in February, but it’s been very on and off working on it due to life stuff lol. But I finally finished, so even though I’m not totally happy with it, I am glad I was able to finish it despite everything! Might redraw/expand the idea sometime, because I do like how silly it is, but for now here is this :]
Also extra info on what’s going on in the drawing itself! Donnie keeps score, here April and Raph are going over the current scores with him. Meanwhile, Mikey and Leo are having a match, and despite Leo’s attempts, Mikey is focused on winning lol (also the other Xs and Os are there, they’re just blocked by Mikey and I got too lazy to draw them).
