#just like idw mikey basically!

[turrondeluxe]

Ok so to recap the ships, it all starts with:

Then it ventures off to:

2003! Mikey x Spider-Punk

Ronin! Mikey x Spider-Man 2099

Mirage! Mikey x Spider-Man Noir

2007! Mikey x Scarlet-Spider

1987! Mikey x 1967 cartoon! (or is it 1981?) Spider-Man

IDW spoilers below, teeechnically Mirage & Next Mutation spoilers too ig?

blah blah blabbering because that's one of the many things you can do on tumblr.com

bloopity bloopin, turtles all being traded on the black market as pets, medicine, or decor to be... "prepared". 'cept Jennika, keeping her IDW origin because it's badass and I like it. eco vigilantes freed them one fateful night, same night someone(s) stole some mutagen for a rival company to TGRI, boom collided in their getaway routes, away floated Venus just like in NM and some others who lalala may or may not be some mutanimals

playing mostly with coloring, Rise introducing markings is such a nice and refreshing change from the all sam green turtle, different bandana color turtles I grew up with. fanon taking that concept and applying it in conjunction with actual turtle colorings also scratches my visdev brain node just so

hm... still fiddling with their plastrons... Venus' and Jennika's are fine though

Leo

funky li'l ringed map turtle

can't see it but, he got them little ridgey-spikies on his shell

christ, I'm finding a way to attach Iris symbolism to him, either through markings or something else

Iris in hanakotoba is... basically all Leo; nobility, bravery, honor, courage, heavy samurai association

5'2"

Raph

McCord's or Amboina box turtle idk idk idk can't choose

stuck on coloring him with a scale mail feeling to match the box turtle photos I found

....I needa draw him beefier, he can stand to be beefier

5'6"

Donnie

literally just googled which turtles exhibit the highest INT, wood turle consistently listed plus some have funky geometrically patterned/shaped shells

tossing on how do the plastron coloring, really liking the dark spots on it

probably keep the lightened belly/inner limb coloring

...probably... lol idk

5'8"

Mikey

my perfect chonky boy, no notes except he (and his brothers) need plastron do-overs

and now i am stuck with the heart-on-his-sleeve marking

canon 2 my iteration it is done

he gets to be the slider this go round, if just 'cuz he's technically the first born (in terms of creating TMNT and its story and world)

let him have the fluttering, finger drumming on everything and everyone because he's bursting with "i love you" energy anyway

5'4"

Venus

"my pretty daughter" iykyk

sea turtle as per last couple iteration posts

cultivator instead of "shinobi"

"i aM ShiNObi"... guh, just, I dunno, the term "cultivator" wasn't really known back in '98 like that, but she had the medicine box, she worked to learn how to throw a fireball at Vam Mi, she was pleased at her progression when she defeated the counterspell from the staff of Bu Ki. that's cultivator shit right there.

she's still a pugilist more than a iron fan user

looks up to April like a big sister, speaks canto and hakka with her

cuz she's still a linguist scholar like in Next Mutation so duh she speak all the languages (to an extant, she has a lot of studying left to go after all)

the greenified hawksbill coloring is growing on me...

still needa futz more with the plum flower motif on her

also figure out her huadian situation or just scrap it idkidkidk

her bandana + 50% green coloring is also growing on me....

5'10"

Jennika

technically also ringed map turtle since it was Leo who gave her the blood transfusion

I like the idea of bringing her Blaschko's lines to the forefront post-mutation but just... it's a lot of stripes. and goddamnit I ain't even gonna go deep into much of anything with the comics I just... can't not world build rip me

6'0"

April

still so tickled at April being closer to the turtles' ages in these new reboots and fascinated how it's played out

...but mine is a clean 44 yo, so. (turtles in late 30s)

Laird originally conceived April as an asian woman in his notes, Eastman drew her as a biracial woman he was dating at the time (April Fisher) and... idk what to tell y'all, people are running around being mixed in this world all the time, Brooklyn got hella Jamaican/Chinese so there you go

can speak canto and hakka

April being a "weirdo" as I've seen mentioned in Rise can stay, I'm picking that, that's a great trait to her character, big fan of Poly Styrene, loved Rachel True in The Craft

where "weirdo" is just she's into alt subculture and being in New York... she got her hands everywhere in those scenes

She and Chu Hsi get to have the most shoujo fuckin' romance because it's cute

and she's still a living drawing which I'm changing around a bit being why she felt like a "weirdo" and leaned towards subcultures and the turtles, she did eventually begin to destabilize but Venus stabilized her by trapping her in a scroll so she could work on a solution. ...where she has a long, happy relationship with Chu Hsi in the painted world scroll because lol time dilation

saw somewhere on the hellsite that the tooth gap is passed around every iteration... so April gets to have it

5'7"

Irma

i'm not ashamed to say I just reupholstered Nadia from Russian Doll

87 Irma went through a lot so she can have some dry wit and humor and be fly as fuck, big hair, big glasses, and a big attitude

still besties with April

likes moths, they're just neat little guys with rabbit ears iykyk

there is a very specifc size of her hair I am battling to keep consistent the problem it never feels big enough

says "fuhgeddaboutit" and has yelled that she is, in fact, "walkin' here,"

... she might also have a little bit of Myrtle from AHS: Coven sprinkled in now that I'm thinking about it to sum her up

she knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody for any random thing you could want to try to find

all the delis and bodegas know her

discusses plot lines from soap operas with Splinter on weekends, they get heated

5'5"

... god all this and I was just gonna have them play spades and play a round of pickup street ball in silly little comics

#if you know my timezone #and you see me posting this #stop snitching #what are YOU doing at the devil's sacrament #leave me to my demon hours #i should probably try melatonin though... #cuz this shit ain't working #how am I fuckin' alive??? #spite #things tasting good #turtles #general nerd shit #and don't worry king #they still love your boys in the AU-verse #visdev is my enrichment activity #my dumb ass just happily knocking these out and not posting #cuz i was distracted by the euphoria of creation #hhh i needa push my shapes more #they can be crunchier

[tblsomedoodles]

I recently met Jennika in the idw comics and now i have Family Web thoughts.

(i had said a while ago that i probably wouldn't add Jennika or Venus until i knew more about them. Well here we are. for jennika at least. Still haven't met Venus (if she's even in the idw comics. everyone else is so i kinda expect to see her at some point) but i have a way of adding her in as well, which i might do regardless.)

I'm not sure i have words enough today to explain my entire thought process on Jennika here, but i'm going to certainly try. under the cut b/c it might end up rambling

Jennika is the turtles' bio little sister born months after their disappearance. I'm not sure if Lou knew about her before everything went down (i'm thinking not since i'd imagine it was fairly new news to even Mama and she just didn't have the time to tell him.)

Her Spider traits are visibly subtle unless she is actively showing them off. Her eyes are red (and can be entirely red w/ a bit of a glow like mama's spider eyes) and her teeth are pointed. She can also stick to surfaces (which she does a lot) and she might do webs like mikey (i'm still debating that one.)

Jennika grew up fairly isolated b/c Mama already lost her other four and she didn't want to risk loosing Jennika as well. She had tutors for everything. She excels in dance class and when she showed interest in martial arts, she was given a teach and excelled in that too.

She idolizes her mother and, having grown up being told about her older brothers (and promises that they would be reunited one day) she idolizes them as well. Well, she idolizes the versions of them she's mentally imagined over the last 12 years. So meeting them in person would be a bit of a shock since she was expecting four perfect brothers and, instead, got four goobers who think that even frozen pizza is a delicacy.

She can already use her mystics pretty reliably (via a mystic conduit like the boys' weapons). Hers is basically just shadow clones that she can (maybe) mystically switch places with when needed.

She usually hangs out on the ceiling of mama's office when she's not in classes. But, once she turned 13, was finally able to convince Mama to let her help a little more directly. Since then she has posing as Mama's assistant (though mama insists that she must use a clone if the task is anything other than standing next to Mama. Jennika doesn't always listen to this rule.)

I might have more, but i can't think of it right now. so just enjoy some concept art for the turtle's little sister, i guess.

#tmnt #rottmnt #family web au #my doodles #canon? idk #we shall see #might be my friday update #idk #ive got to stop adding characters to established aus #but a little sister! #and i fking love idw jennika already #even though i've only had her for a few issues #(i've read all the idw comics i have and am forced to wait until i have money so i can buy more) #(yes i know there's ways of reading them for free) #(but if i can't read them in release order i will go mad) #(easiest way for me is to buy the books)

[ambi-stage]

I have such an unhealthy obsession with arctic foxes, so imagine how I felt when I found out about Alopex in the IDW comics Basic gist of my Rise! Alopex: Since her story in the comics remind me so much of Casey/Foot Recruit (i.e. formerly in the foot clan and once separated from them couldn't find a purpose until later on, it's a stretch i know but it's all i could think of) I decided to do the good ol' switcharoo and give this Alopex the usual Casey story where she's a subpar vigilante in the Mystic City.

As for how she meets the Mad Dogs, Alopex meets Raph first while he's alone in the Mystic City and on the verge of panicking. Alopex is just 'uhhh wanna see some tricks?' to distracts Raph and guide him around the city.

Once Raph reunites with his brothers, he introduces them to Alopex basically tells them 'i met this loser who's been using her weapons all wrong, can she come over for tutoring sessions' and the others are just 'you can't keep doing this-' He does it anyway :)

Like in the comics, she's closest to Raph but not in a romantic sense. The two just like to partake in some good ol' sparring and stopping criminals, like the familiar Casey/Raph dynamics from previous iterations. I like to think she'd be second closest to Mikey and act as a bridge for the eldest and youngest brothers to connect like they did growing up. I haven't thought of anything for Leo or Don yet, I'll have to get back to that :P

[lordshroom]

So I wanna start bulking up my writing catalog so I can start doing writing commissions maybe we'll see. This is just to feel out interest in a few ideas I've had.

For clarification, these would be posted to AO3, i.e., not comics. Also, the titles are very tentative now and are subject to change.

2012 Good Genes is still my top priority to make content for. This would be alongside it.

When the Dust Settles (or Mutant Apocolypse rewrite)

Pretty self-explanatory, I posted some of my ideas here and even have a rough first chapter written. However, I would need to spend time "connecting the dots" so to speak.

2. Perfect Son 2012 AU ( or Leo becomes a human and forgets he was ever a turtle)

Takes place post-season five.

This is an idea living rent-free in my head for a while and I'm having a hard time summarizing it in a quick 1-2 sentences but basically: Leo goes missing and several weeks later April and Casey meet a kid at their school who sounds exactly like him, who feels like Leo, but doesn't remember being Leo. At the same time, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey meet a creature that looks exactly like Leo but is entirely hollow and under the control of a mysterious woman.

I have some of this planned out and it's definitely a smaller scale idea compared to the other two.

3. Dark Roots ( or I create my own turtles)

Ah, there comes a time in every tmnt fanfiction writer's life when they create their own version of the turtles. Basically, after Shredder killed Tang Shen, Splinter chased him out of Japan, where he wound up in New York. Shredder adopted some turtles, they all got mutated, and after which Shredder decided to create an army to take his revenge one day.

I freakin love how in IDW Donnie was a bit of an asshole for the first few issues and wanted to apply that to a whole version. Leo will do anything to keep his father's approval, to be the perfect ninja in his eyes. Raph knows he'll always be a worse version of Leo in his father's eyes so lashes out. Donnie struggles to keep up with his brothers, focusing on showcasing his intelligence. And Mikey is starting to see the damage his father is causing not just to his family but the whole city.

I have some rough notes written down, but there are a lot of disjointed thoughts in my head about this, so take that as you will.

About this post: https://www.tumblr.com/my-name-is-bunnyfoxy/729290480682172416/whats-your-favorite-iteration-of-raph-mine-is?source=share

Where would u place Rise Raph? Lke, 4th maybe? I know u did a list ranking Raphs (and Leos too), but I don't know remember where you placed him.

Also, what ask were u talking about that u sent Pumpkinpie that talked about IDW Raph, and/or IDW Raph x Alopex? I tried to find it, but I didn't.

I do admit I still love IDW Raph, IDW Alopex and that ship (I also love IDW Casey still, I know pumpkinpie doesn't like him as much anymore), but I get why people may not like them and/or that ship anymore. Tbh, I actually (probably) like Leo with Alopex more. Not nesscarily shipping them, but just them together. Because I love both characters, and they got an interesting and tragic history together (i.e.; both of being traumitized by Shredder and/or Kitsune), and so I really like stuff with them. And I am still hoping we get more good canon IDW stuff with them. As well; as more fan stuff w/ them. Raph with Alopex and/or x Alopex is still fine and/or cool though.

Poor IDW Raph being placed last by u now. I do prefer IDW Leo and Mikey myself too. Like, Leo is my favorite, then Mikey is up there too. And Donnie and Raph were basically tied for me (though sometimes one would be over the other), and sometimes tied with Mikey. Anyways, I love all of them. But IDW Leo; wow. And IDW Mikey. I have other favorites/loves in IDW too. Like Karai, Koya, Jennika, Venus, etc., etc. But among the main 4 turtles it is Leo. Then Mikey. And just in general, Leo is my top favorite (yes, I am biased for Leo, I won't deny this. So ofc I love him so much. But Leo is geninuely so great in IDW). And Mikey (Mikey is also so good too) is also still really up there too. In that case. But I do still love IDW; he is a complicated boi (too/as well). And I don't think I would place IDW Raph in my top 3 or at least Top 2 for Raphs, but I don't think I would place him low, and defin. not last. However; if you do, that is totally fine though. DIfferent opinoins and stuff. I am curious to understand a bit more why u decided to put him in dead last for ur ranking of Raphs.

(Also; thank you for answering my ships question(s)! I am happy u love 2012 Leopril and Caseynardo so much too! And that u are liking MM Leopril so far. I hadn't really thought about Rise Cass x Leo that much. Though yesssss, I think they would/could have been really close in the Bad Future Timeline. Romanctically or not. And I think they could have/can have some fun, interesting potential in the present too. Just generally. Not just romantically. I was surprised to see u talk about Rise Leo x April too. Honestly, I think that relationship is very underrated. Both as a ship or not. Like, I love Rise April x Donnie too and their relationship in general, but I really do like Rise Leo and April and/or Rise Leo x April (I am putting both for these things, because sometimes I just like their relationship in general. And it doesn't have to be romantic. Or it could be romantic and/or become romantic), and I think it is really underrated. Esp./Even more compared with Rise April and Donnie and/or Rise Apriltello (I still love them too though).

Also; yes, yes I love Caprilnardo. I love both April x Leo x Casey and April x Casey x Donnie myself. :)

First of all: I LITERALLY GOT EXCITED WHEN I FOUND YET ANOTHER CAPRITELLO I ALMOST SCREAMED REEEE- I'M NOT ALONE!!!

Now to everything else:

The Raph ranking

Honestly those two ranking lists I did I consider them outdated. Because I'm gonna admit with full shame that uhhhhhh- I didn't watch ALL of the TMNTs and there are some TMNTs I still haven't finished. So I find my old post more based on things I heard, red or the clips I saw. I will remake them when I see a good handful of TMNT.

Now onto Rise Raph, possibly 4th or 5th. Like said, 90s Raph is coming up. Plus as much as I love Rise Raph and how much focus he got, I really wish we saw more of him having like emotional damage or something and the reason why he is struggling being the leader is because he is incapable of controlling his emotions and there are many things that he lacks. I still love him in the finale and his character development and what we got from him. I just wish we got more but oh well, I'll take what we have gotten and what we will get later if the show comes back.

About the ask and IDW Raph

Sadly I'm having a hard time finding the ask. BUT. I have a big reason I dislike Raph x Alopex and why I no longer like IDW Raph. For the longest time I thought she was 2 years or so older then him and they met when she was at least an adult and Raph was also close to being an adult.

BUT THEN I FOUND OUT ALOPEX WAS 12 WHEN SHE MET RAPH WHO WAS 16 AT THAT TIME.

I did a bit of research and it's illegal and weird for a 16 year old to date a 12 year old. I wouldn't have cared if they had that age gap as adults but knowing that that is not the case makes me feel gross. I thought Next Mutation Raph sucked but now they share the same spot. Also Emily mentioned how Raph gets worse as the comics go on.

I don't know much about IDW so this opinion of mine comes from what I have learned and found out about.

Now to a bit more light hearted. I do enjoy and love IDW, even though I haven't red any of the actual comics or got them. I know quite some stuff like for example the things you mentioned.

I LOVE Leo and Mikey. My favorite ones! Leo's brainwashing was upsetting and blatant emotional damage, and Mikey MAN. He's my 2nd favorite Mikey right next to Ronnin Mikey. Just DAMN. He wasn't a coward and stood up to Splinter and basically told him to shut his mouth. MIKEY!! MY MAN IS AMAZING!

Also I will forever love Jennika and Venus. This comic series gave justice to Venus and brought back a character that deserved better. I will forever love both of these beautiful gals. Jenny is awesome and so is Vee Vee.

Now onto that last part, No problem! :3 Also I kind of decided that after I posted my answer I changed my mind. Rise Aprilnardo gets a 9/10 for me. It's close to 10 very close. AND YES IT'S UNDERRATED!!! Also i'm surprised to find a Rise Apritello shipper awh man.

Also like mentioned at the start, ANOTHER CAPRITELLO AND CAPRILANRDO SHIPPER YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Okay that's all. This post is very rushed since I have a whole ton of studying to do this week.

[angelmichelangelo]

Hey you know would be fun? You could rank your favorite to least favorite iteration of each of the four boys. Btw sorry for all these asks lol

OH THAT WOULD BE FUN!! don’t be sorry i haven’t had asks in months so it’s all good friend! okay here we go:

starting with leo.

least favourite leo would for SURE be the bayverse version. now.. i am the Few that actually enjoys those movies (sue me, they came out when i was first getting into tmnt so they hold some nostalgia value) but ive mentioned before my gripe with bayverse!leo just because he’s so narrow minded and so set aside from mike, raph and don. it feels like he’s their awkward older cousin that lives with them rather than a brother. bayverse!leo get in the bin. michael bay, you can join him whilst he’s there, actually. why did you do my boy dirty like this, huh?

my favourite leo would be 2003! i just really enjoy his storylines! i like that he’s far from perfect! i think he’s well written and he is a good balance of all the ingredients that make leo Leo!! plus leosagi <33333

now raphael.

least favourite version of raph would be.. rise? this is hard because like i said in my last ask, i genuinely enjoy all versions of raph! i’m just gonna say raph just because i like it when he has his typical anger issues. UGH but it’s so hard because he’s so Eldest Daughter in rise. it’s official: i do not have a least favourite raph. it is simply impossible. even bayverse!raph is good lol

favourite raph is easily 2012. sean austin the man that you are, that is MY raphael. as an anger issues girlie i just relate to this raph. he loves his brothers and i will die on the hill that is defending him with every breath i have. we love 2012 in this house and we love 2012 raph even more.

donnie’s turn!!

gonna be super duper controversial with this one so im putting on bubble wrap to protect myself but least favourite donnie is… rise. oops. HEAR ME OUT!! i am totally fine with others liking rise don. i get the appeal. but my heart will forever love gentle, soft, sweet donnie, and whilst the change up in rise is COOL as hell, i just can’t with the sarccy, cold, snarky version of him. (plus i have a LOOOOT to say about ahem. certain stereotypes when it comes to writers creating canonically autistic characters but that’s another rant for another time) ONCE AGAIN!! i still enjoy his character!! but i just don’t find him to be my favourite.. okay swiftly moving on lol

favourite donnie is EAAAASSILY 2007 don. he’s basically a side character in that movie alongside mike but BOY OH BOY he’s just so fantastic. he’s so fun. i could write essays about how he held that stupid family together. give him a medal. give him the moon idc he deserves it. 2007 is a winner

and now for my golden boy, michelangelo

least favourite mikey? im probably gonna go with mutant mayhem???? again, i enjoyed his character and i think his va was like perfect! but he was pretty underutilised in that movie and im really desperately hoping that he’s bumped up from background comic relief to something more in the show and sequel. he’s only on the bottom of the list because he didn’t really do much in the movie except nearly die lol rip

favourite mikey? idw. bodies all the rest of the turtles in every iteration. idw mikey is funny, clever, smart, has great storylines plus we get my meat and potatoes woodyangelo. that’s all i really ever need lol. plus idw mikey checks splinter and that’s like. the best. put that rat DOWN mike !!!

#thanks anon :D #ask #anon

[samskaterguy]

In the mean time while I try and make my 2003 Mondo Gecko AU art I might as well give some basics on him!

Quick content warnings! Mentions of eye licking as geckos do that, gang activity/violence, a bit of murder and animal experimentation 

- His gecko species is a gold crested day gecko or a “gold dust day gecko” aka one of these bad boys

- He has fully functioning eyelids but he still has the capability to lick his eyes as most geckos do, the only difference is that he doesn’t NEED to. He does so because he thinks it makes him look cool and “hardcore” but he just ends up hurting his eyes.

- Him and Mikey are besties but that’s just kind of a given, he skateboards, but also roller skates. 

- He’s FTM transgender (he/him pronouns), ask me how that works I have no idea but shhhh it’s fun and this is literally a series about teenage mutant ninja turtles so a trans gecko is not out of the realm of possibility.

- Similarly to IDW Mondo he can camouflage and stick to walls. 

- He has black hair much like his 1987 counterpart.

- His backstory is still being worked out but he has a “Mr. X” in this AU and he..was removed, and then after being moved in with the purple dragons before leaving after he was treated poorly, and on his run and escape is where he meets Mikey for the first time.

- Mr. X is a scientist and (former) gang leader, he was experimenting with human and animal mutation before his goons looked into TCRI and blah blah blah found ooze, took a human DNA sample from himself (or some person from his gang) and infused it with a baby gecko. I think you know the rest.

- Mondo would be raised by Mr. X until the purple dragons came to town and they had a similar deal like with Casey’s father, and, well Mr. X was late on his payment. Mondo was discovered, as a now 14 year old and would spend the next year with the purple dragons being treated horribly. He already knew what he was doing with a gang, but they didn’t take kindly to a skater teenage gecko. He was a best kept secret from Shredder, until maybe news broke? Mondo didn’t like the evil plans? Still deciding on that. 

- Well either way, Mondo is on the run from the purple dragons for days after he escapes, and he finds his way tot he sewers where he meets (and terrifies) an orange clad turtle with a girly scream.

- Mondo hears Mikey’s scream and it’s the funniest thing he’s heard ever in his life, so he breaks down laughing. Mikey chills out after realizing this stranger isn’t any harm to him or at least means no harm. They get to talking until Casey (who Mikey called in a fit of fear and desperation when his brothers wouldn’t help him, it’s April 1st soooo they didn’t trust it) knocks him out with his hockey stick, causing an argument between the two on what to do.

- They just take him back to the lair for Splinter to figure out, maybe Donnie can look at him in the morning? 

That’s all I have for now and, honestly I’m still working on stuff like specifics, how exactly this fits in with the whole Shredder narrative and backstory with Hun and the purple dragons but I’ll get there. I still haven’t made a single piece of art and I need to because I have this idea for “Same As It Never Was” with a future Mondo’s fate and just a bunch of other art with him being a goofy friend to the turtles who helps them out, him hanging out with the family, on missions with them, or just skateboarding around the sewers and it’s not like I’ve said everything yet like I haven’t touched his dynamic with the turtles, Splinter, April and Casey!

Also I’m sorry if this is long or disorganized I was just writing all of my thoughts because I’ve been sitting on them for the better half of a year and I didn’t want to wait on it anymore, also hey it might actually motivate me to make art! Someone else already did so I thought I should finally get on it!

[its-captain-sir]

Oh we doing Chicago Style lore I Gotta get in on this. 6, 15, 21, 22, 76, 78 AND special bonus you pick a question you wanna answer if you'd like heheh

6. Is there a battle nexus? Is it a respected facility or operated by criminals?

Oh man I haven't really thought of the battle nexus before...... tbh if I include it I'd like it to be a part of their space arc maybe, so leaning towards it being more of a respected facility, or at the very least an institution that is very clear about how it operates even if some of the rules aren't great

15. Is the Hamato clan history relevant? How did the clan originate?

It's SUPER relevant, much of the plot stems from the story of the Hamato clan. The clan originated from a much larger clan actually that was set to be inherited by two twin brothers. They disagreed on how to run the clan so they split it into two, one called the Hamato and one called the Foot. I don't want to go too much into the specifics of the rest of the history of the clans since I'm planning on a little art piece involving that soon, but basically the two do become enemies and even more important, the Hamato clan are designated as the liaisons between the human and mystic worlds. When Saki defects to the Foot and Yoshi seems to be shirking his duties, a bunch of yokai leaders commission for the turtles to be created to continue to have protectors of the Hamato bloodline. So yeah big effects on the story even just beyond the later fighting with Saki and the Foot over the Shredder armor hakdhskdh

21. Do the turtles time travel?

I know I definitely want them to cause that's a classic tmnt trope at this point but I don't know what that would entail. I really am a sucker for the stuff that loops, like whatever they did in the past affects their existence in the present and because they exist in the present they're able to go back and do those actions in the past, it was always destined to happen, etc. So it'd probably be something along the lines of that + just some fun stuff like always :)

22. If there is a battle nexus, who fights in it?

If I go with it being attached to the space arc, I think all the turtles might end up fighting in it, either on purpose or accidentally. I'm really attached to battle nexus champion Mikey so if they fight he's definitely winning the whole thing hakdhskdhsk 16 years old and champion of the universe(multiverse??) <3

76. Who is your favourite character?

HMMM THIS IS A HARD ONE..... it's like an even split between Leo and Raph, they're so compelling to me..... gives them problems forever and forever.

78. Tell us something you want to share about your au/iteration!

I think of the story for this iteration as split up into 4 main arcs! Each arc is based around a specific turtle and has a major conflict associated with it as the focus, though obviously all plots and character development continue to varying degrees throughout the course of the story. But anyways, in order they are:

Raph - conflict is Foot/Shredder based, deals with the past catching up to them and the cycles of past vs present. Big focus on Raph and Leo's strained relationship and the lengths Raph is driven to for his family, culminating in [REDACTED]

Donnie - conflict centered around the hidden city, marked by delving into mystics even more than before and uncovering secrets of the yokai world and their creation. Donnie's efforts start to unveil the larger webs

Mikey - conflict based on the Krang and associated space adventures (certain time related shenanigans also come to a head), involves truly stepping into the larger world and universe and continuing to follow the threads. Mikey reflects a final coming of age and shaking off forces seeking to control them

Leo - conflict with the pantheon (hello idw fans <3), embodies the final culmination of taking their lives into their own hands and refusing to be used as pawns. Addressing the issue of their influence is the last step Leo needs to take as a leader.

As for a bonus question, I'll answer:

39. Is there a Karai/Miwa?

Honestly? Maybe both! Karai for sure exists in this au, she's the turtles' cousin and ends up on their side of the Foot/Hamato conflict after a while, but I might also have Miwa in there as a person totally removed from most of the plot as Tang Shen's daughter. Not quite sure on that yet though

#TYYYY FOR ASKING QUESTIONS I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN ANSWERING #had to physically restrain myself from saying more on all the hamato and foot clan stuff though. i have so much going on there it's crazy #the lore dumping is real HAKDHSKDHSKDJS #asks? #norfre #tmnt chicago style

[pumpkinpie59]

post where i just think out loud about my rise oc iya

a triceraton girl

maybe a princess? or a daughter of a high ranking official? kinda like seri from idw ig … idk

she’s about 7 ft tall

sweet and chipper personality. has some combat training but her main strength is weaponry and technology.

she was separated from the other triceratons when a rival alien species threw her through a portal and then destroyed it. so the triceratons are searching for her

she ended up on earth and was discovered by the epf.

the turtles discover that something suspicious is happening in the epf and end up breaking in to investigate. during this time, iya escapes on her own and ends up revealing the turtles to the epf. also as they escape mikey finds kala and sympathizes with her and takes her with them.

donnie chews her out for the mission going wrong but raph intervenes and tries to calm everyone down. when iya realizes that the turtles try to live in the shadows bc humans won’t accept them, she feels guilty and offers to make it up to them by helping them uncover the secrets of the epf.

she too scared to believe that she’ll ever see her people again tho. she tries to make peace with the possibility that the turtles are basically her new family/friends.

also she and kala become friends

she and donnie have a bit of a rough start in their friendship. donnie was suspicious of her, and her large size made her somewhat clumsy so he was worried she’d wreck his inventions and stuff.

but iya kept trying to prove herself. she took notice of his weapons that he created and showed interest in them, and donnie ended up being grateful that someone showed interest in his achievements, and meanwhile iya admired how passionate donnie got when talking about his inventions and things. until eventually iya started a little crush on him.

iya isn’t used to the type of leader leo is. her people are strict and disciplined, and leo … isn’t really lol. so it takes her some time to truly understand him. but she appreciates his high energy and values him as a friend.

since raph is slightly closer to her height than the others, and nearly matches her strength, she and raph have become sparring partners. she deeply respects the things she’s heard about him from what happened with the krang invasion; the whole sacrificing his own safety to protect his brothers thing.

i still need to brainstorm what i want her friendship with mikey to be like.

i think it’d be cute if at one point donnie opens up to her while feeling vulnerable idk

also donnie denies him and iya having any chemistry until at one point in battle, iya defends him against a larger yokai creature while he was caught off guard, showing her braver, tougher side (which she rarely shows bc she’s so nice). and then immediately afterwards, the flip is switched back and she’s like oh my gosh are you okay?? and he’s like,,,, huh.

and they have a lil romance growing.

uhhh when the triceratons finally come to earth, they start to attack the planet while looking for her, and the epf try to fight back.

donnie, when he sees the triceratons attack, feels heartbroken and betrayed and assumes that that was what iya wanted and snaps at her. she denies it but insists that they have to stop the epf from attacking or there will be more casualties. but donnie’s like,, if we stop the epf the earth will be less protected. iya just growls and runs away, and tries to reveal herself to the triceratons.

the triceratons see her and stop their forces but the epf recognizes her as their prisoner and shoots her, which only enrages the triceratons, and they proclaim a war, which is what bishop wanted.

also donnie witnesses it and blames himself. (and his brothers do too rip)

also hi i like angst lol

so iya is rushed to the triceraton medic and donnie tries to sneak into the triceraton ship to make things right but is caught and made bait for the epf, even tho the epf could not care less about him

yes i’m trying to make a 2003 reference.

donatello suffers by electrocution for a bit, and the overstimulation makes him unable to summon his magic abilities, until he’s finally able to call for his backup weapons and they free him.

he retreats to a vent or something to finally catch his breath, and then somehow finds the medic bay and reunites with iya and apologizes to her.

and then i haven’t thought this far ahead 💀

#pumpkin stuff #iyatello #tmnt iya

[shmokeymoe]

You know what episode would be cool for rottmnt just an episode where portal shenanigans happen and the boys find evil alter versions of themselves lmao

Like they’re so mean quick witted and hit HARD

But the good boys win and send them back

Raph is just like massive hits and no hold backs so he’s the big tank but also ruthless fighter and VERY battle hungry

Leo is is just a bastard and talks smack but his battle smarts are INSANE he’s very smart and thinks quick so he’s definitely trouble combat wise

Donnie is just malicious with his tech and he’s a cunning guy always having some kind of trick to get him out of situations or make it worse, basically I’m going with IDW eggman if that makes sense lmao

Mikey is just an evil ball of energy and a menace anything that’s near him he’s chucking it at you like trucks cars anything

Plus they got the mystic powers the boys got so LOL rip

These are what the evil gang are meanies all around and will kill without hesitation lol

#I like this kind of hero trope idc idc LOL #possible au?🤨 #idk maybe #lol #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #tmnt #actually it wouldn’t be an au it be more of a comic since if I were to make this #it would be just a singular comic like an episode type deal lol

[turrondeluxe]

Hey ik on that "equally distribute the horrors" post, a lot of people were talking about Mikey needing horrors (tbh he deserves some, they all need equal rights to the horrors.), but I've never seen anyone even talk about the horrors for Raph? Maybe that's just me and my web experience tho. (If you have any examples of Raph dealing with the horrors pls list them, my cousin ((who also says Mikey needs more horrors, at least)) and I are desperate)

ah that's probably because i specified mikey in the tags because im a mikey enjoyer who is followed principally by more mikey enjoyers teeheee

but huh

i guess i understand what you mean

in terms of Raph Horrors™ we have

mmmm i unfortunately won't include every single horror from every single tmnt iteration out there. there's too many for me to remember all the specific raph horrors from each of them rn so i'll just list some random ones off the top of my head 😺

Feel free to add more to the raph horrors list! lol

-Koya. Mutant falcon. Has a very one-sided rivalry with Leo. Probably invented new types of mental illness

-Lita. Time-traveling ninja turtle. The turtles’ collective daughter in the future. Random kid who just showed up one day in the present. She thinks her future self is really cool

-Jenny! I’m sure she needs no introduction but she’s great. She likes metal music

-Mona Lisa. Feathered salamander. Basically Robin Hood. Has the funniest scene (“What the HECK, Donatello?”)

-Woody. Mikey’s best friend. Literally just some guy

-Harold. Mad scientist. Divorced. Hates Donnie they hang out all the time and play MMORPGs together

-metalhead

Obsessed with the way you ordered and worded this thank you

#Jenny doesn’t need an introduction you’re right I have seen h e r she seems lovely #I’m intrigued by everything here #but especially MONA LISAAAAAAAAA LIGHT OF MY LIFE LETS GO-

You talking about a Lego Monkie Kid and TMNT 2012 and/or ROTTMNT crossover and/or reincarnation crossover au thing brings me so much joy. Can't tell u how much I now that in my life as someone who loves both TMNT and LMK so much.

I gotta say though, Rise Donnie as MK is a bit of a odd choice (would probably be very funny though). But I know that is like, the crack take, I think.

Also gotta ask, TMNT 2012 (or ROTTMNT) reincarnated into LMK crossover (au), who would u put to be reincarnated as who? Either a crack take or a more legit take and/or both?

To me, I could see, depending on the story I am going for or the character stuff I am going for or whatever, it could go many different ways. But I just wanted to see ur/others take(s) on it as well.

ROTTMNT LMK reincarnation AU(Really needs a name) is something more crack-ish for me to write. Considering when I thought who to put in each version, I thought it would be funny to have Donnie to be MK.

I could’ve chosen Lowe-key when Macaque was revive to suddenly have Donnie’s memories, but no. I chosen Mikey because I think him being Macaque is funny as well. Leo is coming close to second to Macaque

And April is obviously Mei. Cassandra can be Red Son lmaoooo

In ROTTMNT, nothing is really hold serious there, and I prefer it that way.

But TMNT 2012, I would say Mikey is MK. Rather basic but those are the best.

Tang Shen is related to Tang(cuz name and stuff), and Macaque is somehow roped into the Hamato life because he got acquaintance with Shen. How? Not sure yet.

Really debating hard if Mei to have reincarnated memories or not. Like do I want her as Mei, and actually a human friend that likes the Hamato because they didn’t save her or have April or Karai to be her.

While Mikey’s brothers is either still the same but different species eggs that Splinter had the sudden urge to steal and have no regrets on doing so or Im taking some characters in LMK to be reincarnated.

Unless we go to the crazy, dark, and depressing timeline where Mikey is the only one reincarnated and didn’t that like, so he decided to use his clones and use glamour on them and ta-da! Hamato family 2.0!

I really can’t do IDW right now since it’s not yet finished and I don’t have access to Vol 14

But if I finally finished 1987 TMNT, you can bet your pizzas that MK is Raph. Sassy little shit that breaks the fourth wall soooo much.

Sadly, for the TMNT movies, I really have no thoughts on them. 2003 is something in my watch list, that I will live blog. Surprisingly, the only spoiler I had is SAINW, Shredder is a Krang, Bishop ain’t a robot, Leatherhead is a scientist, Casey And April, and Baxter is a brian.

Mirage TMNT… i had barely past the first issue, so I’m a blank slate when it comes to them

[postapocalyptic-cryptic]

hey mikey! for the character headcanons could you do starscream and/or fox, pls?

Gonna do Starscream my beloved bastard

Sexuality Headcanon: gay gay homosexual gay

Gender Headcanon: oh boy so complex. so much going on here. I usually think of Starscream as occupying a similar gender space to me, but coming from the AMAB rather than the AFAB side of things. I'm dysphoric and very gender non-conforming, and it's so tied to my lesbian identity that I could never separate the two. I've tried transitioning and decided it's not for me for a variety of reasons. All of this is basically how I feel about Starscream, though robots approach gender and sex differently so obviously there are going to be cultural differences. So his gender is shit fuck goddamn with a side of dysphoria.

A ship I have with said character: Starjack! I just think Wheeljack and Starscream are neat

A BROTP I have with said character: Windblade and Starscream are the annoying robot siblings I need in these trying times.

A NOTP I have with said character: Megatron and Starscream. I do think they were romantically involved in IDW, so I don't know if it really counts as a NOTP, but it's canonically an extremely abusive situation.

A random headcanon: He's very very lonely. He doesn't exactly have many friends, and especially post-war, no one wants anything to do with him. If you engage him in casual conversation he is going to go absolutely apeshit. Small talk is like crack to him he craves positive interaction so much.

General Opinion over said character: 999999999/10 he's the worst woman ever. He's my babygirl. I beat him up for no reason. I would hate him irl. Ideal specimen.

[thedawningofthehour]

1) Where is mayhem in this fic? In the show he just disappears after season 1, there is a theory that he just stayed with April to keep an eye on the turtles and Draxxum and once he was defeated he went back to the council.

2) I just remembered that the movie basically confirmed that E.P.F and Bishop exist in Rise and when I think of the implications of that I get so excited and so terrified at the same time, I mean, in 2003's the guy was basically immortal thanks to alien intervention and he was never really defeated, but rebels that he reformed himself in the future. In 2012's the guy was an utrom, not much to say there. BUT IN IDW! I'll just say that I now have PTDS towards the character thanks to what he did to my baby Slash. Now, considering Draxxum plans to eradicate humanity, I don't think Bishop will be too happy AND considering his association to aliens and immortality in various iterations, I can only imagine a "he is more than he apears" situation for his version in Rise. For example: imagine if he was the firts human to enter in contact with the empyreum but insteat of giving him an extreme chage look his mutation where more hidden to the eye.

3) I'm sure one of the Capitan Piel crew members was a mermaid and they certainly don't look as human as the disney version.

Mayhem is wherever he went to during season 2. It does totally make sense that he was just watching the turtles in case Draxum pulled some shit-that being said, it makes zero sense for him to leave now, as Draxum is still active and is more dangerous than ever, but I didn't want to be constantly shoehorning him into chapters. And to be perfectly fair, Draxum wasn't completely neutralized in the show. The council put a warrant out for his arrest but he was still running around doing shit and the council just decided "well, no need to be concerned about the turtles anymore." Ironic considering how Mikey immediately started helping Draxum after that.

I'm still working on it, but I do have plans for Bishop. A lot of past TMNT characters are going to appear in some capacity or another-some of them are just gonna be little references, like Bebop and Rocksteady up at Todd's and Ice Cream Kitty being their unofficial mascot, but some are going to be important to the plot.

Bishop will absolutely not be Utrom though-I'm pretty sure the Utrom in Rise are implied to be the Council of Heads? Like, we all agree that they're Kraang, right? (you know, when I first watched this show I noticed that Draxum's face was a mask and I swore that he was a Kraang like 2003 Shredder. I like what we got but goddamn I thought I was so clever) I'm playing with how much to take from 2012 and 2003.
