Song: “The Night We Met” - Lord Huron

Okie dokie, here’s a long post for Sunflower’s BACKSTORY!

The theme of this is an overview of how I use Good Dad Draxum.

Draxum got Sunflower to use as the prototype for the mutation experiments. It didn’t work immediately, since the Lou Jitsu DNA sample was not direct. (It was like, a piece of his hair that was on a costume that Draxum got in one of those “random pieces of celebrity clothing” charity auctions.)

He was disappointed but he still took care of her. She was basically a pet. When she started speaking, however, that’s when he realized the experiment worked. (She could only babble like a toddler, but it worked.) He let her watch as many movies as she wanted to so she could be constantly exposed to language. With captions on, too, so she could learn how to read.

The other turtles were bought from Big Mama late one night when Draxum was getting ready to experiment again, and Sunflower mumbled something about wanting siblings. Five turtles at different ages… oh. One was still an egg? Draxum decided to keep it with him until it hatched and stuff.

Sunflower and the other turtles didn't really know each other because the timeline speeds up here. They met, yeah, but they were unmutated. They talked a little bit in animal noises but Sunflower had been exposed to human language more so she had pretty much no idea what was going on.

Uh skipping the baby turtle dynamics because it was really boring……. They were just. Babies.

One day, there was a small explosion with a different experiment, you don’t have to worry about it (Draxum was trying to cook food using a bunsen burner…. You know how it is) and unfortunately Sunflower was taken away from Draxum and sent to an…. Orphanage? Pet shelter? I don’t know exactly where she would have gone but then she gets adopted by a shapeshifter living in the hidden city that is my self-insert and Sunny gets raised like a human from there on.

Meanwhile! Draxum pours his attention into his experiment with Lou Jitsu, hoping that the other turtles will be to be the ~~children~~ mystic warriors he wants. The egg is almost ready to hatch, he can tell. But then the big lab explosion happens, blah blah canon stuff, and the egg fell into the mutation tank and he’s afraid he lost it.

During the cleanup, an agent of the council of heads finds a baby turtle whee the egg was and decides to give it to a human scientist whom this random agent knew and trusted. Nobody trusted Draxum anymore.

CUE THE NEXT THIRTEEN YEARS OF DRAXUM BEING VERY SAD BECAUSE HE HAS LOST ALL SIX KIDS.

First, he finds out that the babiest turtle is living in the space station and has been named Venus! Then he finds out Sunflower is an archery competitor. He wants to get them back but the humans refuse.

THEN episode one happens. From there, we find out Sunflower met the ninja as online friends and they all meet up at like a robotics convention or something, blah blah baxter stockman, blah blah there was an IDW comic I read about Donnie that was why I wanted to make my oc in the first place. I think it was a one-off special.

There we go, Sunflower’s BACKSTORY. Her lore from then is that she just starts living with the family but stays at home most of the time because she was injured and she doesn’t know what she’s even supposed to do to help. I need to watch the rest of Rise to make more sense with canon but yeah!

Oh and all of this was for @zeepziesdiary lol

aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ✧・゚: ✧・゚:  GLITTER SUNFLOWER MANIA  :・゚✧:・゚✧

"My oc Sunflower!" um i think you mean '' m y new child '' thank you *legally kidnaps and runs*

Ahaha I'm jk jk ...., or am i,,?? 👀

*clears throat, pours the tea* Overall, real talk, I'm quite impressed!! I love your take on her character and how fleshed-out she became! Can't help but to feel a bit sorrowful for our boy Draxxy here at some points, but. I suppose it all worked / works itself out in the end, no?

Sunflower and the boys meeting online and then irl at a convention is so real to me it made me giggle alkjssdhjdf LOVE IT!!!

Also her staying at home rather than out fighting crime with her siblings is yet another take that intrigued me!! Dgmw, I love it when I find sibling readers and they're ofc out and about fighting crime and kicking butt with their born and bred top notch ninja skillz! But this is interesting too. A complete opposite; not entirely wittingly, I assume! But it's different and I personally, really like it :3

Sunflower!!! You're the sunflower! I think your love would be too much!! Then you're left in the dust! Unless I stuck byyyy ya!! You're the sunflower~ You're the sun FLOOOWER!! 🌻💛🎶

Uh, Zee, why are you kidnapping your own niece?!

Oh, yes you SHOULD feel sorry for Draxum.

Because Sunflower doesn’t.

Ah this is one of my favorite parts! Not only did they meet at a convention, it was on accident! Sunny was there to get pictures of something that Donnie had said he wanted to go see. She didn’t know he was gonna be there. But during one of the panels, she asks a question that she’s already asked him before and he answers it before the speaker can! Cue both of them gasping loudly and standing up, then leaving the room.

Raph, Mikey, and Leo stay for the rest of the panel because it’s kind of interesting. (More like they were waiting for Donnie to return because he’s the one with the map, lol)

Sunny and Donnie yell at each other for a good minute in excitement, then to her surprise, he pulls her in for a hug.

However, the hug gets interrupted by a nearby demonstration exploding. The story from this comic happens but Sunflower is right beside Donnie nearly the entire time.

Hmm should I add a picture of the comic’s cover? Here it is!

Oh, and Sunflower staying at home has more to it as well besides her recovering from the injury! She’s not a skilled fighter, and would tell you she isn’t even very good at archery. She has a LOT of self-doubt, especially when it comes to the ninpo magic.

There is a whole thing about Sunflower realizing that Splinter really is the same person as Lou Jitsu. It’s not official yet but she had a hard time believing it, or that he was even… Alive. She absolutely grew up thinking that he died in the big explosion.

But hey, that’s enough doom and gloom for one post! How about some fun facts?

She can play the banjo

Her species is Burmese starred tortoise

She calls Usagi her brother-in-law even though he hasn’t even confessed to Leo yet, because he’s just that vibe. A good friend that enjoys getting into arguments for fun and can take as much teasing as s dishes out.

She was named Sunflower because of the shapeshifter who got to be there for her in her growing up years noticed it was one of foos. Yes just imagine being called Pickles or something, haha!

Draxum did have a different name in mind for her, however he forgot it unfortunately too quickly.

*freezes, Sunflower in my arms* . . .

Ahahaaaa,,, *gently deposits her down on the ground, pats her head* Oh, you know me! My theatrics is my livelihood outlet~

(*cue me internally combusting because I have Auntie Rights omigosjhhsdhjd*)

AH! I seeeee. B'awwwhhh, Donnie and Sunflower sibling fluff!!! <33 :')) We love to see it. I love surprise scenarios like that!! And the rest of the boys being forced to stay back bc Donnie is the brains of this here operation and if he decides to dump you here and there he will DO IT. THERE ARE OTHER PRESSING MATTERS AT HAND!

Awwww. Ah, well. The doom and gloom will make for a really good plot arc!! Adapt and overcome, right? ^^ I believe in my niece! She's a fighter.

*sees the fun facts* oOOOOHOOHOOOO~

BYEEE THE BANJO, HUGEST FLEX!!!! xD dya wanna know what?? My little brother irl has a hyperfixie residing in the banjo!! He brings it up here and there; I initially took it at face value, mostly for its podunk (/non-derogatory) affiliations and amusing sound, but it's actually a vibe and I highly respect people who can play it. Play them strangs, girl. You done did your Midwestern auntie proud. *wipes tear*

BEYEEYEYEYEYEEEE Leosagi cameo 😂😭 I'mma tell u rn I made a child!oc for them before! A sweet n' dorky little orphan molly hopple yokai who carries a clandestine legacy in the form of being lethally pursued by the charred dredges of her past, which she would inevitably have to leave everything and everyone she holds dear behind in order to face it. (RISE LEO MOVIE PARALLEL I SWEAR I DIDN"T DO IT ON PURPOSE; I REALIZED IT WHEN I WAS COMING UP W HER BACKSTORY!!!) (How dare you throw me back into that brainrot dump? /lh)

I'll probably expand on her too in my oc sharing post but for time being

EVERYONE STOP AND ADORE MY NIECE!!!!! ☀️✨💛🌻

Sunflower is almost shoving me aside amd grabbing my phone to reply?…

“YOUR BROTHER CAN PLAY THE BANJO?? That is so cool!”

Oh my gosh, leosagi fankiddo! You mean. MY new niece?! /j

That already sounds great.

Speaking of being an auntie, that’s how she meets Casey Jr! For the movie we get a post-credits scene.

CJ is walking down a hallway of an apartment building and opens a door.

“Aunt Sunflower?” He calls out, waiting for the door to open.

The door opens quickly, she pulls him inside her room, and she looks him up and down before giving him a hug.

“I’m so glad you’re safe! Now, do you mind telling me who you even are?”

Casey Junior sheepishly rubs the back of his neck and shrugs. “Uh, long story. But I’m Casey Jones. Junior.”

Sunflower goes through three different facial expressions stretched to the max, then smiles again. “Welcome home, CJ.”

Okie dokie, here’s a long post for Sunflower’s BACKSTORY!

I needed to design a Future Donnie so I could make a comic. And now I have a crush. He's a bit Fast Forward inspired because I really liked the designs from that show.

WIP @somerandomdudelmao (how to kidnap you from your studio?) letting me know that you've been listening to this song while drawing scenes with Raph wasn't the best idea Not sure how long it will be, but more than 1 minute for sure. It will be full colored, mostly just pictures animatic. Full of life and colors, just like Raph sees the world Not sure how much time it will take this time... But I expect it to be very interesting to do...

"oMiGoSh EvErYoNe'S gOnNa FoRgEt AbOuT rOtTmNt WhEn MuTaNt MaYhEm CoMeS oUt WaAaA-"

no, no we aren't.

I think someone already made this statement (whoever it was, make your presence known so I can give credit to you), but...

If all the other TMNT iterations have been remembered for years, why the FUCK do you think we'll automatically have our minds erased from knowing about Rise???

JUST because it got cancelled, or paused, or whatever after Season 2???

HELL no.

Especially with all of us here constantly making fanart and trying to convince Nickelodeon and Netflix to bring back Rise, there's no way we're gonna forget about it.

Maybe when it was still brand-new, maybe, but it's been around for almost 5 years now, it's officially part of the franchise and we like it that way.

So just because a new iteration dropped (that I honestly wanna go and see), it doesn't mean that we're gonna get brainwashed and forget about the show that the majority of us TMNT fans know and love.

Thank you for reading this.
