NO BC 12 LEO WAS LEGIT EXPERIENCING PSYCHOSIS.

he’s only had his turtles for like a week but if anything happens to them he will kill everyone in this room and then himself

hey, isn't your brother acting a little.. off?

OH MY GOODNESS CLICK FOR QUALITY TUMBLR BOTCHED IT SO BAD,, ,

hi leo hey hey hey i fixed your fuckin problem /hsrs but i am so serious. it looks short because its extendable :]

shoves my headcanons into your hands. thank you and goodnight

LEO PUSHING RAPH TO SAFETY BUT GETTIN KILLED IN THE PROCESS

YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE TEAR TRACKS AS  HE DOES THIS

Some Leo studies that I decided to put colour on (also Raph is there)

they look like the 2012 boys but i swear they aren't, trust me

Teenage Mutant (not so) Turtles!

they are still ninjas but it just doesn't roll of the tongue as well

these designs are in no way final and the ref sheets i made a while ago reflect that

they looks so stupid, geez, I'm sorry i made them all half asian half latino because I'm latino, and they aren't exactly human either but close enough, yeah? enough to tag this as "human au" lol, more info under the cut!

I made these boys once when i the first thought of "if Leonardo was a human he would tie up his hair with his mask tails" and it escalated so quickly- It's also most similar to 2012 because that's the series I'm most well acquainted with!

In these AU the guys are BOTH yokai and mutants, so they can shape shift into humans! the mutation affected their "true" turtle forms to be humanoid and their human form traits to be more close to splinter, whom i have yet to settle on a design for, lol sorry.

i have so many doodles of these fools so here, have at them.

yes, raph and donnie are the "b team" in this au-

this casey design isn't the current one but his war paint is still there

these last two are a little more recent

so are we not gonna talk about how leo made a simulation specifically to hear splinter say he’s proud of him? no? okay…

Ever since the ROTTMNT movie came out, I've been pretty obsessed with the 2012 and 2018 TMNTs, I love both versions and I love the personalities of all the turtles.

So when I went on the internet with the intention of reading some crossover fanfics between these two versions, it filled me with great sadness to see people writing about how "abusive" the 2012 brothers are and how "healthy" the 2018 brothers are.

Me personally I don't see the brothers from 2012 being abusive, as their interactions remind me of the ones I have with my friends, who are almost like my brothers. When I saw your TMNT fanfic where you didn't drag the 2012 turtles through the mud just for having different ways of loving other than physical contact, I was filled with a lot of emotion and affection for your work. I think what I like the most is that you include more action. LITERALLY the ninja turtles is action with plot, it is the best of the franchise definitely.

Chapter 8 is so close to being done ADHD please just let me write I want more nice comments!!!

TMNT 2012 premiere promo from 2012!

☀️💙

ever think about how 12 Leo was kinda out of touch with reality sometimes during the space arc ?? space definitely messed and got to his head 😭

acting like his inner Captain Ryan , and then using the hologram room talking to a HOLOGRAPHIC version of Splinter ? yeah yikes .
