Been a while so have a silly Omega and CJ moment!
Been super busy trying to finish up the latest Replica update! Only a few pages left to go of nearly 30 pages! I can't wait to have it completed, but I need to take a little break and draw something silly. Thank you @mishacakes for the inspiration!

fanart for T33la’s lovely fic, Flipbook. please give it a read! it’s an achingly warm exploration of a much-needed conversation post-SAINW, and is filled to the brim with evocative prose and dialogue. ^_^
[Image ID: A two page digital comic with a painterly rendering style. The color scheme transitions from dark blues and purples at the top to a red orange color at the bottom.
Page one: The upper portion centers a far away planet earth with clouds swirling around it. The clouds expand and show sketches of different scenes from the story. The first scene in the top left is of Donny working at his cluttered desk with a thoughtful expression, chin resting on one hand and a pen in the other. He works on a small drawing attached to a pegbar. The second scene in the top right shows a paper airplane flying in front of a dark sky. The third scene shows Mikey reaching down between machinery and pipes to grab the flipbook with a curious and somewhat awed expression. The fourth scene shows Donny and Mikey lying on the floor and hugging tightly, both looking like they're crying. The fifth scene shows a memory from the future. Mikey stands with his shell to the camera, his severed arm barely visible, while Donny stands beside him, looking back with a mournful expression. Their figures are silhouetted against an electric sky. Below all of these scenes, earth moves incrementally closer until it fills the bottom of the page. A balloon flies above it, the string twisting along with the clouds.
Page two: The bright clouds from the previous page extend into this one, crawling down the sides. The top half shows the inside of a helicopter cockpit. Donny and Mikey are huddled together, their masks pulled down around their necks. Donny leans his head against Mikey's shoulder as Mikey thumbs through the flip book, both of them watching it quietly. Below this scene, a humanoid robot in a sketchy pen style stands from a bird's eye view. It looks like the robot has been cut out from a piece of paper and pasted into the scene. It reaches out to hold the balloon string. It's surrounded by patches of grass, sunflowers, and a few large trees that frame the edges of the page. The warm color palette relays a sense of peace. End ID.]
Sometimes, just before throwing himself with reckless abandon into another confrontation with Shredder’s endless forces, Raph found himself glancing over his shoulder. What did he expect to see?
(Leo, silently nodding to confirm this course of action. Raph hated that something innate still looked for Leo’s backing.)
Sometimes muscle memory brought his hand to his belt for a shell cell that wasn’t there. Who was he supposed to call?
(Mikey, who had called for days after he left. Raph hated himself for never picking up.)
Sometimes he startled awake with a hoarse “Don—” on his lips and just hated everything.
gosh
He felt ill. He felt cold. He didn’t feel anything at all. The mystic spear he’d taken from the Hidden City was buried in the corpse of one of the Foot leaders, the flame on his head gone. Mikey’s eyes were wide and afraid. They all were afraid. -Ghost in the Shell Part 2, Chapter 16/17
The Rise kids are never going to be able to look at Ghost the same ever again. Ghost probably won't be able to look at them either.
Anyway @amevello-blue is hurting my feelings and I had to do something about it. :)
