History is getting too close to repeating itself

Raph doesn't think Leo is fit to be leader. Saki didn't think Yoshi was fit to take over the dojo.

Soon, further about your au. Splinter backstory?🥺👉👈 What is his relation with Shredder?

held off answering this so i could figure out the answer, forgot about it, and came back to answer it now only to realize it actually had TWO QUESTIONS and i only got the answer for one

subject to change, but what i got so far is that The Shredder taking control of the Foot Clan was the subject of prophecy, but Splinter had never met him personally, nor known someone claiming the name had come to power until the Foot Clan begins to take an interest in his sons

as for his backstory, I'm not entirely sure! i do know that he came to America with the goal to just. live a normal life. get away from the responsibility of sacrificing his life for something he didn't believe

as for his mutation,,,,, not entirely sure yet. but somebody wanted to make weapons, and he was unfortunate enough to get involved

thank you for the ask!!

my animation final !!

i have mixed feelings about it, but i'm choosing to be happy with it bc i might explode if i work on it any longer

@uglylittlebug ask to be tagged and you shall receive 🫡

somehow did not realize that if i made my iteration regularly wear clothes, i'd have to. actually design outfits for them. so uh. have some i made up on the fly

i didn't know what to use for the background so i used a screenshot of the original post

technically donnie's the only one of the four who usually has his third eyelids closed but shhhh

i rasterized the caption before realizing raph technically isn't green

i keep on switching between liking how my persona is drawn here and hating it yay

This is your sign to yap about your tmnt au

oh wait i wasn't actually expecting this now i don't know what to say- i'm just gonna. snatch the random stuff i rambled about on discord

full disclaimer that it is. not very developed yet! i haven't really figured out the plot, or the turtles entirely, so i'm mostly gonna yap about random details i hope that's okay (usually i avoid posting au's unless i deem them "finished enough" but uh that's never happened. so.)

so. in this au two of the turtles were made purposefully, and the other two accidentally (all four with the same ooze, but two were like,,, prepped for it beforehand, so the mutation sorta "assimilated" better with predetermined traits, while with the other two it ended up being more random)

read more because im yapping

donnie's a northern long/snake-necked turtle, mikey is an eastern box turtle, leo's a flordia softshell, and raph is a common snapper <- (this is also their height order)

they're used to wearing clothes in this au!! idk it just makes sense to me, that since splinter used to be human in this au and still wears clothes, he'd teach that to his sons, to an extent???

they don't mind being clothe-less (they do not bother with swimsuits), at least around family, because they are Turtles with nothing to see, but clothing allows them to express themselves!! and warmth, seeing as donnie's the only warm-blooded one and runs cold anyway

splinter has taken them to the surface since they were young, only after thoroughly scouting for a mostly secluded place, because the books splinter snatched said that children need things like sunshine and fresh air (or as fresh as new york can get, i guess? i don't know what the air is like there sorry guys. my only guess is that it's better than the sewers)

so they are used to being topside, watching the city from afar, but going to the surface alone for the first time ends up being a big deal for them as teens. that's when they end up meeting april!

they've known casey ever since they were all small, and casey definitely sees the turtles and splinter as his second family. he also calls leo a frog, as an inside joke to what tiny casey originally thought leo was

splinter wasn't a great dad when they were young. (he was sort of struggling with suddenly becoming a rat with four children, understandably) he didn't pay attention to them as long as he could find them when he looked. an incident ended up making him come to the reality that he's they're sole caretaker and he needs to step up, so he stole snatched a bunch of books on parenting and turtles and got way more invested in his sons' lives. current day turtles love their dad

age wise, technically nothing is set in stone for them except mikey being the youngest, since besides him the turtles developed too close together for splinter to figure out an age order. (like,, raph was the first to walk, but donnie was the first to talk, and none of them were really ahead of the others)

so oldest is based on the mood. raph was the oldest when they were tots, but that title slid on over to donnie over the years, and while leo can have older sibling energy, he rarely actually gets to Be the Oldest Sibling.

everybody knows raph has a sweet spot for mikey. he Will still carry him around even though mikey is taller.

if you have any specific questions, PLEASE ASK THEM! i probably won't have the answer, but it'll force me to figure the answer out, yknow? think about things i wouldn't have otherwise

have my first attempt at a mikey design as a thank you for sending an ask!!

This is adorable.

irma design 💪💪

This blog needs more reach and I forgot to tag last time so GO LOOK AT IT

Okay real question before I get sidetracked by how pretty you all are again

What's your guys' opinions on april? A close friend, family, etc?

“She is family, after all we’ve been through together, she’s essentially my daughter.”

They could boop me to death, I wouldn't mind..
