Hello Everyone ❀

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!!

Hello, I am Imtithal, a dentist living in the north of Gaza,💔🇵🇸🍉 I would like to take your time to tell you my story and what happened to us during this war. I finished my university studies in less than a year and started working but the war happened suddenly, it destroyed our hopes and dreams at the beginning of this war, I lost my brother and I lost my beautiful home, we were 35 people living in this house and now we are homeless and have no place to escape from the war, the conditions are very bad, we have to let our young children work and they wait hours and hours to get some drinking water, I don't know what to say but I ask for your help by donating💔🙏🏻 by sharing, let everyone know our story, the story of our heart, your help can help us survive and not die, I am very sad that we have reached this situation, sorry for the noise but there is nothing we can do🇵🇸🍉

WODJSJSJSJEHR TYYYYY!!!!!!

Welp, it is now 5:05. It's so fucking late that it's early. Time to sleep for 3 hours

Behold, "Overnight Mechanics", inspired by Alphonse Mucha, steampunk and the Prague astronomical clock

I'll post a better picture once I'm no longer sleep deprived

Imagine being me right now, it's 22:49 and I promised my teacher I'd finish an art project today and bring it in tomorrow at 9:30 so it can be displayed at the school's anniversary ball in the evening. I never work with huge formats and I even revived my old easel I haven't used in years. Right now my only saving grace is that our class is going to a theatre at 10 tomorrow instead of going to school at 8.

Sleep? I hardly know her.

+bonus unused concept I considered

my guy—he doesn’t like hawaiian…

Myslíš Gagarinova bratra?

CO JE TO TADY ZA HNUSNOU MÁNIČKU

Does it ever occur to anyone randomly that the guy who murdered 108 men in cold blood and the guy who starts every video with “hello ma frens” have the same voice. Like dang Mr Jalapeño, go off with the voice acting, I almost forgot it was you.

Anyway have a doodle:))

So this is where the idea spawned from
