Hi Love This Picrew

YAAAASS WE HAVE A NEW SHE-SHELL IN DA HOUSE

Or you know the first new version of a she-shell which we haven’t had in YEARS!!!

so I did some research and judging by her markings she could be an Eastern Box Turtle

Upon further reflection she could just have silly markings for funsies but she’d still be GORGEOUS in my opinion

Hello friends!

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from a family of young children, women and elderly ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days of an aggressive war. Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we lost all our sources of livelihood.

Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉

Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost

I am so sorry that this is happening to you and all of those innocent people but sadly I can’t help you as I am a freshman as of the coming school year. BUT I promise to keep you in my prayers and encourage others to do the same. To the people who see this post and can/want to help please do.

OHMIGOSH WE GOT TO 30 FOLLOWERS!!!!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!😆😊😍

TMNT au Writing/Sketching Prompts! ~TMNTember 2024~ by @truths33k3r4

Day 4-Betrayed by someone you trust

*throws this at you and runs 💨*

What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

Hi! Some of my favorite dynamics has got to be the B-Team/Pb&J duo any iteration , whatever Leo and Mikey’s dynamic name is(again any iteration), and what I’ve seen so far of Jennika and Lita’s relationship in the IDW comics.

Despite those being my favorites I wish could have something, be it a fandom idea or actual iteration, that gives Karai an actual dynamic past antagonist vs hero and her and Shredders relationship. As much as I love her story(especially her and Shredders relationship), I wish we could have something where she is actually more than dark cold serious teen badass ninja. Kind like what Mutant Mayhem and Tottmnt did, I want to see the actual teenage side of her and have her get a friendship without it being a damn damsel in distress🙄. If you’ve read my fanfic Difference Between the Appearance you probably saw me trying explore that.

Thanks so much for the ask! Happy Halloween!🎃👻🐍

(Ps: yes I know not all versions of Karai are teenagers but in my opinion I prefer for the turtles allies to be their age(still love you 2003))

Tottmnt/Tmnt MM Joana Marie Jones

Casey Twins<<<< Lita May<<<Venus De Milo<<Karai< Jennika>Hidden City Group>>Created in Darkness >>>

Lita your bestie has arrived!

headcannons:

These two are bound to be the most chaotic little bbys to ever host a Tea Party.

Joana takes on after her older siblings a lot more than her moms considering how time consuming their work can be as a nurse and marine.

But if she’s not with her siblings or Abuela she will be with her Mami at work(they have awesome moms I swear).

This creates a weird mashup of a scrappy little fighter and a polite hostess- that still needs a little help tying her shoes every now and then☺️.

If she were in the show she would kinda be a background character who gets mentioned a couple of times. But she definitely has a big role in coaxing Lita into exploring the surface.

She has long QT(heart condition; nothing serious just needs to take meds and eat before and after)

That’s all for now I guess. Comment or ask for more on her character.

Chapter 10 Part 2

After two weeks of training and a few arguments over this with Jennika, Karai could finally return to her mission. Eastman High stood before her as she walked towards it. The alley she was in cast a shadow to all those in it hiding her from the morning sunlight.

She had been waiting for this day for 2 weeks. And yet she still felt completely and utterly unprepared.

Crud.

What was she supposed to do? What would she even say to April? And even if Karai thought of something that wasn’t complete shit, would she even listen? Had she waited to long and lost her chance to fix this?

Karai felt it coming. Great timing.

She calmly pulled out her elixir and downed it. Against her piling fears, Karai stepped out and walked inward into the school. Breezing past the chaos of the hallways, making it to her locker was actually pretty easy. What wasn’t was holding her surprise to find April waiting right in front of it.

Oh shit.

Well at least I can’t put this off. Karai let out breath before continuing to the locker. She decided to get straight to the point. Dropping her bag she started the task of getting the supplies needed for her first 3 periods. She had already been taught most of this(other than American History) but it was still necessary for the facade. “Hey.”

April, not noticing Karai’s quick arrival, was startled at first before displaying a nervous smile. “Karai!”

Karai hummed in response pretending to be focusing on her task. This would hopefully give her enough time to think of the right words to say before apol-

“I’m sorry about making you upset.”

What?

The words that left her friends mouth shocked her. She didn’t mean to guilt trip her like that. At least not a big part of her. A small part still felt annoyed, and hurt, and . . . afraid. Afraid for Aprils safety as well as the friendship that came with it.

It was selfish and some of it happened because of ulterior motives. But April was still a fun person. Not in the annoying careless or petty way that most other people their age were. But the kind that actually made Karai genuinely laugh sometimes. Like it wasn’t all a facade.

She dreaded the thought of losing that.

April continued after a beat. “It’s really sweet that you’re trying to look out for me. Now I know that stuff makes you feel . . . uncomfortable, I guess? And I won’t dig and we don’t have to talk about it but . . .” She gripped the back of her neck with her hands giving a light massage to herself. A more solemn look was on her face. After a deep breath she finished. “I need you to understand that I can’t stop my research because of what may happen to me. My friends need my help. I can’t fight like they can so this is kinda my only way of helping them. I need to do this for them. I should do more but I can’t so I can’t stop doing the one thing I can to help.”

Karai was now giving her full attention to April. Locked closed as she leaned against it. Her arms were crossed so tightly across her chest that it hurt. The mild pain kept her grounded.

She was honestly surprised. April looked surprised at herself too. A flash of pride humbly blended in. Yeah she is definitely gonna use some of that for some kind of story.

But this meant that she was still writing about TCRI. April could get hurt. Be it at the cost of her pride, her profession, her hope . . . maybe even her life.

But Karai couldn’t help but admire her loyalty. Her risk of her safety for her friends. Something she herself had been taught was of the utmost importance for her entire rememorable life.

Karai let out a sigh. This girl owes me soo bad.

She guessed that she could buy some time for April. She was already misleading her father about the mutants. What harm could one human of all whom the entire foot is supposed to be fighting for do?

Karai would be a pretty big hypocrite if she didn’t anyway.

Karai let out a light chuckle, rewielding a smug look she hadn’t been able to for a pretty long time. “Nice job O’Neil. Apology excepted.”

April looked up, face brightening in surprise and naive relief. “Really?! So we’re cool now.” Her curls bobbed as she bounced on her heels.

“Hell yeah. Besides.” Karai hefted her backpack onto her back. “What you’re doing is pretty honorable. So if you wanna risk your life, it’s no one else’s job to look out for you.”

There was beat of silence. For a few moments Karai was worried that she said something wrong. But then April barked out in laughter. “Sorry!” She wheezed. “But did you get that from, like, Oprah? Or Keanu Reves? That was-Man. That was corny.”

“Not half as corny as your blue turtle friend.” Karai countered. Things were finally starting to return to normal.

“Hey! He’s not that corny. And I dunno it’s kinda sweet to me.”April played with her beanie with one hand, lower palm on her cheek. Karai could see the blush her friend was miserably failing to hide. Oh these two are definitely made for each other.

They continued back and forth down the hall until they made it to homeroom. Technically the sophomores and freshmen were supposed to have separate homerooms, but as most American schools do they ran out of money and willing teachers with experience. Besides, Karai was already joining 2 months before summer vacation. So Karai and April got the luxury of sharing one.

As per usual the teacher was paying no attention to the students talking simultaneously in a way that blended into familiarity. Karai looked around the classroom, seeing the expected different groups and cliques and . . . the four mutant turtles?! They were back in school already?!

Karai was trained so that she could look emotionless on the outside. But what was she supposed to about the inside?! Calm down. Calm down. You may recognize them but they probably won’t recognize you.

“Guys!” April shouted rushing towards the four in a big group hug. “April!”

They all crashed into each other, mindful enough not to draw attention but carelessly showing their affection. Karai could get a better view of each one now. The red and biggest one, the supposed hothead on the wrestling team. The purple and scrawniest one, the genius who almost moved up two grades despite having no academic experience. The blue and tall one, the worry wart with a very obvious crush on her best friend to everyone except surprisingly her. And the smallest and orange one who-

Oh shit! He knows ME!

Reality came crashing down. Karai forgot how carelessly she had exposed herself to the Foot’s previous captor. How he almost immediately called her out upon glancing.

April had broken the hug and turned to her hand still firmly on the orange turtle’s shoulder. “Oh! Karai I forgot to introduce you guys. You already know Leo.”

This could not be happening. Her dad was going to kill her for such an obvious mistake. April was going to hate her. Her panic just kept on rising internally. But externally the only thing showing was horrid, restricted pupils and a bead of sweat comically coming down from her forehead.

April continued going down the line of turtles. “This is Raph. Donnie. And Mikey.” While April looked back at Karai with a bright smile, the turtles seemed to share a look of suspicion.

No no no no no no.

“Hey do we know you from anywhere?” The blue on-Leo finally asked. Karai didn’t answer instead just quickly glancing at the orang-Mikey. She expected to see hatred and anger on his face. Fear for all of the pain he had been caused. But instead his face only seemed to be filled with . . . pity? Like he could see her panic. It was almost childish and calming.

But then his eyes narrowed and his head tilted slightly. “Yeah I know you.”

Oh crud. She forgot that children will always tell the bluntest of truths. It was coming she knew this was happening. It would all come crashing down an-

“You’re in my 4th period Art.”

What?

Karai looked up letting the tiniest flash of shock show on her face. She realized she was taking too long and quickly cleared her throat. “Oh-uh yeah I guess. Hi.” She spoke stiffly, readjusting herself.

Thank god. Er-I guess a mutant turtle.

The mood seemed to settle from there. April continued the conversation. “Guys this is Oroku Karai.” Her friend wrapped an arm around her shoulder so Karai sent a sarcastic smile her way.

The pur-Donnie spoke up. “Like anime?” His voice held a hint of excitement as it cracked.

“Oi, kotoba-dzukai ni ki o tsukero.” That got a chuckle out of him and it was easy enough for Karai to fake hers. “But seriously don’t compare people like that.”

“Oh yeah! Right! Sorry!”

“Geez Don.” The re-Raph pulled Donnie into a headlock. “You’re going to get a Leo chasm bigger than Leo’s.” Leo firmly smacked Raph on the back of the head whilst he noogied. Mikey laughed at his brother’s antics and then looked at Karai.

She didn’t know, it kind of felt instinctual, but he must have spotted her mouth out “thank you”. He winked in response causing Karai to roll her eyes.

This was selfish. She knew that she would eventually be betraying them. Eventually these funny moments would be seen as fake news. Eventually all of these fond memories would hurt April. But Karai was selfish. Downright snake like.

What the hell? Karai could pretend to enjoy being around mutants to enjoy this for now.

Previous Masterpost

ITS FINISHED!!! My dorky little Karai and her panic attacks. She’s not perfect and she’s kinda gonna lead them on but she just wants some friends. I tried showing a bit of their dynamics. They might come off a little like a-holes but that’s what teenagers are sometimes. I hope you guys like this. I will take a break before reposting this on Ao3(hopefully so that this chapter is reposted on the one year anniversary).

Cowabunga turtle fanz!

TMAYNT DAY 20 & 21

Favorite Turtle Merch/Toy That You Own

Kinda my only merch but still my favorite

Favorite Shredder

from hatred to hugs *me after watching his story play out*

He is the shredder that I never expected, never knew I needed, and will probably never see again but I still feel blessed to see him. Seeing a character who is iconically known to go from good to bad and not change even for the family wanted was molded into a man who went from good to bad to good because of his love for his family

I was just thinking about the amazing girls and women that the Tmnt franchise has produced over the years. But then I realized how the younger generation doesn’t really have that in Tmnt mutant mayhem (yet we are still waiting on Tales of the Tmnt). So I thoughts of a plot-lines for my four favorites in the mutant mayhem series.

Venus de Milo/Mei Pieh chi: Venus was born alongside her siblings in a pet shop. But when someone tried to take them home, they tripped on the sidewalk and accidentally dropped the baby turtles into the sewer. When splinter found them, they had been living in the sewer for about a day and the ooze can had been dropped onto them just a few minutes before. As splinter was loading the coffee holder he used to transport them in Venus slipped away from his sight and into the depths of the sewer. There she was mutated into a baby alone in a cold sewer tunnel and as babies did when they were scared started crying. That’s when a little girl who was wandering nearby heard her and came to the rescue. That little girl was Lotus. She had been left in the care of Dr Rockwell while her mother, Big Mama, was busy with “important business attributes”. Lotus brought Vee to Rockwell who continued to use her for experimentation and even though he hated to admit it to take care of her. Eventually big mama whisked Venus away after banishing the doctor from New York. Venus continued to live under the “care” of Big Mama constantly trying to make deals to protect her from going into the battle nexus. (To be clear big mama did not like Venus one bit. She (as far as big mama knows) was the mutation of one of her arch enemies. She constantly reminded her that she was a mistake and abused her for making mistakes such as asking for food or calling Big mama her mom instead of her aunt.)One of these deals was to go on a scouting trip with her sister for TCRI trying to find the turtle brothers. But she was never told that was who they were looking for. Long story short Venus finds them before the foot and disses her responsibilities to hang with them. Eventually lotus finds out what Venus is doing and is not happy about it. Venus has an excess of chi in her. Chi is the life source that fills most yokai but very few have excess too it and even rarer few can make it visible like the fire Venus creates. Although this usually only come in outbursts of emotion she eventually learns how to control it.(But not until a while after she meets the boys and splinter)

Lotus: Lotus is the biological daughter of Big Mama. Though she was originally a mistake due to her mothers many affairs, she was raised to know that only perfection is except able. In her early life her mother ignored her and she would usually be dropped off at her “uncle” Dr Rockwell’s lab/home for months on end. That is how she met Venus and brought her to Dr Rockwell. When she and Ve were about 8 or 9 and 10 or 11 years old Big Mama had his lab burned to the ground and started to raise Lotus to be as ruthless and perfect as her. She also made deals with her mother (unbeknownst to Venus) to protect her little sister from being exterminated or put into the nexus permanently. When she found out that her mother was working with TCRI she offered her skills to help seeing this as a perfect opportunity for bargaining chips and leverage when making deals. Eventually her sister Venus found a way to persuade Big mama into letting her help too. After week or two of working with the foot and TCRI soldiers and Venus acting super strange she found out her sister ditched responsibility for hanging out and befriending the enemy (aka Leo Raph Donnie and Mikey).

Big Mama: Big Mama is a spider yokai called a jorogumo. Although these creatures appear as flawlessly beautiful women they possess the same strength and brutality as a tarantula and the ruthlessness and deadliness of a black widow. She started up her hotel for all yokai kind with its own battle arena known as the Nexus. She is known as 2nd deadliest crime boss only in comparison to the Shredder. Although she can be frivolous she is also manipulative and very strategic. Every move is thought through carefully based on how harmful it is only to her opponents. She even does the same thing to her own family. Dr Rockwell was one of her past fiancée’s brothers and worked with resources that were funded by her. But when she asked if for the warriors that he promised were being made for the nexus, failed to comply. He argued that these were living beings and still infants at the time whom he would not allow to go into her brutal war games. Enraged by this action against her name she had his laboratory burned with him and most of the embryo and infant mutants still inside. When her daughter Lotus started to fuss, Big Mama told her if she would stop her useless crying then she save Venus and let them both live. Big Mama spent the rest of her life from that day forward mastering her skill of bending people to her will by practicing on and manipulating her daughter and unwanted niece.

Lita May: During the time that Venus spent growing up with Dr Rockwell he spent much of his time taking blood tests so he could use her ooze to create warriors for Big mamas battle nexus as promised for the funding of his research. One day Venus asked why they followed this same routine everyday. Rockwell told her it was because he was making more mutants just like her. Venus said that she always wanted a family like the ones on the tv. Rockwell felt pitiful for the toddler so he created an entire batch of clones that could be Venus’s baby siblings. And that is how Lita was made. Even though she was albino and premature she was the oldest and only survivor of the clone batch. She was ready to be taken out of her tube the day before big mamas attack. Both Dr Rockwell and Venus spent their first hours with Lita and last hours before the attack taking care of her and loving her like any family loving its new member. After big mama took Venus away she snuck Lita into an old forgotten attic of the hotel and raised her from there. Even though she didn’t have much Lita had her older sisters love and a happy childhood compared to what Venus had to endure. They made the most of what they had and loved each other. When the boys met her, she was a little shy and shocked at first but immediately started to warm up to them. Lita is a trans girl and feels very uncomfortable when being referred to as a boy or Venus’s brother. Venus gets very defensive when someone does this to her knowing that it is one of the only peace’s of freedom Lita will ever have: To choose what she wants to be.

sorry I haven’t posted more digital art lately but I lost my apple pen😭
