HAHAHA I LOVE THIS!

curious things about the bayverse turtles

ps i would love to see headcanons discussing these things! im sure these arent things people haven't noticed before

they have tattoos!! they're obviously permanent, they didnt wash off in the river in brazil so how did they get them? who did it? did they find a tattoo gun? did Donnie make one or are they stick and pokes? either way the designs are cool, one of them has a good hand and design ideas (mikey?)

who painted the kanji on Leo and Raphs shells? do they know kanji? they can speak japanese too or just write it?

mikey has custom nikes/shoes w split toes in the first film iirc, how? do they know how to custom make shoes?! how did they even come across their shoe size..

for their size they're incredibly agile! you saw Leo do those flips during training, thats fucking amazing and impressive

also they cant stand still for shit. or atleast mikey and raph cant 😭 theyre always shifting on their feet while standing....do i dare suggest neurodivergence..

they just snatched the pizza out of kevin the pizza guy's hands, did they pre-pay with card or like what?? do they just get free pizza everytime from kevin bc he doesn't notice?! whos money are they buying food with...

how much do they weigh? they stand on light cords and on top of elevators, i wouldve expected them to break 😭

why does raph have duct tape on his shell... cracks? bro can deflect fucking bullets off his plastron but has to duct tape his shell? did mikey just put them there and he hasn't noticed or what..

also would like to note: donnies skateboard chair, the rooms only accessible via jumping or climbing, the random fog and smoke everywhere in the lair, donnies glasses yet lack of nose bridge, also how did that retro mutagen turning donnies 3 fingers to 5 not hurt like HELL?!

bayverse! April headcanons

because i hate the way megan fox was sexualised in the movies i wanna give her more personality than just being hot and smart 😭 i heart u bayverse April

- she thrifts! not just expensive 'real vintage' designer labels but everything, she also finds clothes than can be easily upcycled and tweaked for the boys. Her signature color is yellow so you KNOW she has rare and whimsical pieces she collects in her wardrobe

- speaking of which; she sews! Mikey often rips or breaks his stuff (like shoes and shirts) and hes always giving her bits and pieces to fix up. As much as Donnie is a tech wiz, Aprils expertise lies in the art of DIY! shes tried to teach Don how to sew but ironically its one of the few things he cant crack

- shes a stem nut, OBVIOUSLY! her and Don bond the most over new technology and the advancement of science and digital technology. her and Don made her a pc from scratch and its one of her most precious memories

- April has a really bad sweet tooth, when the guys get pizza for the rare nights in, she's reaching for Mikeys candy stash for sure (she makes sure to replenish it with all their shared faves)

- her favourite candy is anything sour! but actually sour, we're talking throat numbingly sour to the point where at the end of the bag all you taste is blood 💀 it freaks everyone out lmao

- she has a masters in journalism and a degree social sciences, its so important to her to give visibility to the stories rarely talked about. Shes very dedicated to her profession and genuinely gets mad that all vern cares about is attention from fans and the camera

- April is also very passionate about nutrition and fitness! she goes total big sister mode when the turtles neglect their protein intake especially with how big and physically demanding their jobs are. a few times she's tried to teach Leo how to cook for his brothers and hes just about learned how to not burn eggs on toast but shell be damned if she starts cooking for 4 6ft men 😭 respectfully not her job!

- she's incredibly protective of her friends, whoever they may be, even Vern. she doesn't take lightly to disrespect and she WILL trash talk you to silence if you make anyone she cares about feel less than

- when she was younger she wanted to be a zoologist or anthropologist. Like her dad, she's always had a love for science and research, but she loved animals so much as a kid and it crushed her when she realised her father was experimenting on animals

- she feels personally responsible for the turtles and Splinter, she visits them atleast once a night, whether on face time or in person. the fact that they feel theyll never be accepted in society weighs heavy on her heart. she wishes things were different

- she knows Mikey has a crush on her, but she doesn't know how to let him down gently and honestly doesn't wanna open that can of worms, so she just pretends she doesn't notice his very desperate flirting

- sleeper build april. SLEEPER BUILD APRIL. people treat her like shes fragile just because she's beautiful but shes also incredibly strong with amazing endurance. i mean hello?! SHE CAN RUN IN HEELS. thats badass

- she loves game nights w the turtles and Casey, she loves playing MK and her go-to character is ofc Mileena (goated and no im not biased)

- she may or may not have a dedicated collection of disguises for super sleuthing and recon. shes very proud of it and will give a tour if asked

- she wants to learn ninjitsu, just doesn't know if she should ask or wait to be asked. she feels awkward and sometimes wonders if its not her place, even though in reality Splinter would be happy to train someone so dedicated to justice.

- her favourite drink is banana protein smoothie!! the lair has a smoothie just for her 😭 they have to hide it from Mikey before he gets back into his liquid pizza phase again

- she likes hero comics/shows (like 2012 leo!). Naruto was her childhood and its kinda beautifully ironic that she's like a ninja by proxy now

thats all for now! its been like 5 years since ive written headcanons so sorry if the format is boring, lmk if you want more headcanons! ok bai

Some headcanons regarding TMNT physiology

Over the years, I have come up with some headcanons regarding how I believe the Ninja Turtles' bodies work. I thought that perhaps it might be nice to finally share them with all of you.

These don't apply to all the iterations, of course, but they are pretty well universal in my mind, and I tend to incorporate most of them into my fanfics.

The Turtles (like leatherback sea turtles, echidnas, and some dinosaurs) are mesotherms, meaning they are neither warm nor cold blooded. They are, instead, in a middle-ground: they internally generate heat, but not to a constant temperature. In the Turtles' case, they will shiver when cold, and their bodies will not shut down right away when the temperature dips too low, though they may lose some energy and find it hard to concentrate.

Unlike many other modern reptiles and amphibians, who have a three-chambered heart, the Turtles have four-chambered hearts (like mammals and dinosaurs) that are larger and stronger than average human hearts and located at the center of their chests.

While the average human blood capacity is around five liters, the Turtles have about seven. Much of the blood flows under the shell -- a remnant of their lives as ordinary turtles, whose own blood does so in order to warm them when they bask. This means that the Turtles could lose close to three liters of blood before dying, while a human would only be able to lose two.

Their blood is also highly efficient at clotting, but that also means that storing blood for transfusions is difficult, and so must be directly transfused from one turtle to another in emergency situations.

Owing to their extensive circulatory system, they also have a larger lung capacity than humans and more oxygen-rich blood, and so are able to hold their breath for extended periods of time without adverse effects. Other than this, the Turtles' respiratory system is very much like humans', utilizing a diaphragm to inflate and deflate their lungs.

Like regular turtles, they do not have ribs, but rather their carapaces and plastrons serve that purpose, and they have muscles under their shells that keep their internal organs right where they belong.

Also like regular turtles, their spines curve along the insides of their shells. A direct hit on the center of their shells, then, could cause damage to their spinal column and nervous system, but fortunately their vertebral shields offer a fair amount of protection, so it would take quite an impact.

The Turtles are highly resistant to most infections and diseases, which increases their immunological responses. They do not get sick easily, and they recover quickly.

While their scales are not apparent, they are integrated into their skin, making it tougher than human skin. It takes a very hard hit to raise a bruise, and it is difficult to cut through without a very sharp or pointed blade.

Their bones are similar to humans, but are more resistant to breaking. They also heal quicker and stronger if they are broken.

Their muscles are also very close to human-like, but they are stronger than an average human due to compensating for the extra weight they carry in their shells. Because of this, their ligaments and tendons are also tougher, and it is difficult for them to have a joint dislocated.

Their sense of smell is more acute than humans, but not to an extreme degree. They are also not as bothered by foul smells (though this has more to do with living in a sewer than their physiology).

Their eyes are a bit tougher and more resistant to damage than human eyes due to a protective membrane that covers them. They see a bit better than humans in dark places and underwater.

Their hearing is somewhat more attuned to lower frequencies than human hearing, and is not dependent on external ears but rather an internal auditory system (making direct damage to their hearing unlikely).

They are capable of being knocked unconscious, but it takes a significant impact. Permanent or lingering damage to their brains is unlikely due to their structure, and so they also do not tend to suffer the same side-effects that humans would in the same circumstances (nausea, memory loss, etc.).

Although their nutritional needs are similar to humans, they do not need to eat every day, and in fact can get by quite well without food for a week if necessary (though they won't enjoy it). When food is readily available, however, they will eat as much as possible to store up energy. Their metabolism does not slow down when they do not eat, so overexerting themselves when they haven't had any food for a while can burn them out suddenly.

Their sleep schedules are much like most diurnal animals, though they are able to stay awake for extended periods of time and can get by on little sleep, if necessary. There have been times when they have been awake for days on end, getting by on short one hour naps here and there. In general, though, they like to have a regular sleep/wake cycle.

Like other reptiles, the Turtles never stop growing throughout their lifetimes; however their growth is slow, topping off at about 1-2 inches every five years.

Does anyone have anything they would like to add to the list? I actually had fun compiling it!

TMNT Headcanons: What Piercing Would They Get?

no bc I need to write about this to get it out of my head omg- i thought about what piercings the guys would get. Next are tattoos because I just know Mikey would get a tramp stamp.

Leonardo

none (bayverse and 2007 leo would never)

but if he HAD to choose

I think he'd get his earlobes pierced (if they actually had ears lol)

Getting his ears pierced wouldn't be too crazy to him- it'd be more "socially acceptable" in his words

But if it's Rise Leo that mf is getting something crazy like his nipples pierced (again, if they had them lol) maybe even his eyebrow

Pain tolerance: a little wince, but he can handle it

Raphael

TONGUE PIERCING AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE

this mf loves pain and he's getting one

no matter what Splinter says

"it ain't hurt" (lie, he teared up a bit)

Raphael will a tongue piercing would make me melt omg (bayverse and 2007 raph would 1000% get one)

if not a tongue than an eyebrow piercing- he'd look so badass with one (2012 and 2003 raph for sure)

Pain tolerance: tries to act tough, but crying a little on the inside

Donatello

a septum

no seriously 2012 and bayverse donnie would look so cute with one

i would imagine all versions of donnie getting one! maybe even adding a regular nostril piercing too

2007 donnie would get an ear piercing too but a daith specifically to help with his migraines from his job

2003 donnie (if he HAD to choose one) would most likely get his industrial pierced or his earlobes

Pain tolerance: might need something to hold or squeeze while he gets it done

Michelangelo

he's getting some kind of genital/nipple piercing idk how else to put this (2003 and bayverse mikey 1000%)

hate to break it to yall, Mikey's cray cray lolz

2007 Mikey would get his ears pierced, bayverse and 2012 mikey really want a nose piercing despite being scared of needles (I'm pretty sure its mentioned in the 1st or 2nd episode of 2012 tmnt that Mikey's scared of needles if I'm not mistaken)

Pain tolerance: he needs an adult.

he also needs a hand to hold for moral support.
