Just a normal dude who needs some help finding his dog. It’s a normal dog. And it’s definitely his. Will you help?

My take on a separated AU because all the cool kids were doing it

[turtleblogatlast]

Mikey and Leo episode centered around Mikey wanting to push Leo and Draxum together since Leo’s the most reluctant to give Draxum any grace (for good reason!) But, thinking on the spot, Leo says he’s gotta go do something for Hueso and “just can’t hang out right now 😔” (yes, he says the emoji out loud.)

Mikey calls his bluff and now the three of them (Mikey having grabbed a weary Draxum along) go to Hueso’s to find that yes, he actually does have a job for him. Said job asks for Leo to go with Hueso to deliver multiple pizzas to this giant yokai quite a distance away, and Hueso figured it would probably go better with Leo’s help (emphasis on probably.)

Well, Mikey decides that this would be a great bonding opportunity for them and basically invites he and Draxum along. Unfortunately for Leo, Hueso doesn’t care enough to wave away more help, though he does side-eye the wanted criminal Baron Draxum coming with them. But who is he to judge? (This choice has consequences.)

The journey goes about as terribly as you’d expect, but at least the pizzas get delivered on time.

As I mentioned in this post (technically in its tags), GMTT! Raph will try to eat anything that fits in his mouth. He's a giant toddler what did you expect Draxum

Hi, I’m jumping on the Separated AU train, but I’ve taken all the angst out and decided that Having Children Softens You Actually.

Mikey is found by Lieutenant and Brute (who are a couple, fight me) and is raised by them. It was funnier to have a Dr Delicate Touch moment with his Big Sister Cass but he’s still the artsy fun-loving kid and his dads are so so proud of him and hang up all his art. His puppy dog eyes sway every decision the Foot Clan makes.

Draxum hangs on to Donnie and Wow Being A Dad Is A Lot Of Work. He’ll often say he’s learned more from his son than he’s ever taught him. Donnie’s intense interest in the mechanical perfectly balances and compliments Draxum’s mastery of the mystic. Their expertise fills in where the other’s fall short and together they create the wildest things that benefit all yokai.

Big Mama and Little Raphie. He’s the last piece of her Lou she has left and she fiercely protects him. He has participated in the Battle Nexus, but more for fun than obligation. He’s a favorite match for other competitors since he doesn’t believe in “finishing the job” (and because Big Mama would never ever allow him to be in a to-the-death match). Mama doesn’t have a lot of time for Evil when she’s too busy doting on her turtley-poo.

I said I’d leave the angst out, so we’re not gonna talk about Splinter and Leo. 🙃

Went to the plant nursery today for Mother's Day and all I could think about was Draxum taking his shitty kids to one and driving them all insane.

Donnie is the only one who follows him but all Draxum does is meander around and compare plants to the color scheme he has in his head and ask for opinions he doesn't listen to. Even Donnie's love for plants can't sustain him and he wanders off.

Meanwhile the other kids are checking out the weird garden ornaments and taking selfies in front of the funny ones.

What’s Mikey’s relationship with Draxum like in your AU

the short version of it: it's very complicated

the long version of it: despite leo having the most loving and understanding parent out of the 4 of them, mikey probably had the happiest childhood. as emotionally distant as draxum was, he was fond of mikey. he made sure he grew up as a... relatively normal kid: made sure he was healthy, did not train him beyond his limits, and fostered an environment for mikey's powers to thrive and grow freely. draxum wanted super soldiers, yes, but he still saw mutants as one of the yokai and held them in equal regards and that extends to mikey.

i will emphasize though, draxum is still VERY EMOTIONALLY DISTANT. the idiot hasn't even given mikey A NAME. he calls mikey "soldier", "child", or "titan" if he's in a good mood (huginn and munnin were the ones who gave mikey his "Orange Titan" nickname because of his powers). he refuses mikey the chance to express himself and only want him to follow through his orders.

because of this, mikey loves draxum the same way a son loves his father but he is also very vocally angry and upset at him. he and draxum argue OFTEN and mikey only does so because he knows the worse drax will do to him is reprimand him and push back on his ideals, and he knows draxum's motivations come from a place of fear. drax's concern over the prophecy is passed onto mikey which is why he's mostly compliant on drax training him (mikey follows through to protect yokai-kind, not to kill humans). again, he's just upset that draxum's fear made him to the man he is. he also wrestles with drax's hatred for humanity because mikey knows he is part human. mikey's mostly scared that, one day, draxum will step on a path where mikey cannot follow.

that's pretty much a non-spoilery summary of their relationship. on instagram, i described their relationship to be very akin to kratos and atreus. they care about each other deeply but are both on polar opposite scales of the emotional spectrum: draxum is closed off and apathetic while mikey is open and empathetic.

will draxum be redeemable in LM? yes, very much yes. he just has a long, long, looooooooooooong road to go to attain his redemption, especially in mikey's eyes.

(these interactions are not canon and are based from scenes from god of war 2018. this is pretty much the vibe of their dynamic tho)

BLOOD IS THICKER THAN OOZE

This is a great fanfic on a fairly mature topic. A beautiful portrayal of difficult family relationships, stress, expectations and abuse... SUMMARY: Raised by Draxum as the weapon to help restore the yōkai to the surface, Purple would do anything for the yōkai that saved him from Lou Jitsu’s flames.But twelve years after the incident that left him permanently scared, three turtle mutants threaten his way of life and his father’s goals of yōkai domination.Will he be able to stop them from ruining their plans in time? Or will he create unbreakable bonds with these turtles who’ve been brainwashed by the same man who abandoned Purple all those years ago?

Baby!Donnie: Da-

Splinter: what is that purple? We're you going to say “Dada?” Say “Dada!”

Baby!Donnie: DEATH!

Splinter: Hmmmm, “Dada.”

Baby!Donnie: DOMINATION!

Splinter: umm, “Dada?”

Baby!Donnie: Destruction. Domination.

Draxum: *clearly prideful* Nice.

Here’s some doodles from my 10,000th tmnt au that’ll I forget about in a week

[mudlarkspur]

there's a lot of similarities between DOTH Gale and Catch You Junior.

They would not get along.

Thinking about my separated au again,, have the O'Neil siblings ;v;

Plus bonus designs: battle nexus champion Leo & foot clan Raph

[I.D. Drawing of Lou Jitsu and Draxum from ROTTMNT. Lou Jitsu sits on the floor in a cage and Draxum leans over him, looking excited as he asks "Can I use your DNA for numerous illicit and probably dangerous genetic experiments?" Lou Jitsu responds "Eh, sure". End I.D.]

How it would have gone if Draxum hadn't mentioned the whole 'making super soldiers' thing probably

[pizzazz-party]

i don’t think all yokai in rottmnt live for centuries. there was that one cat lady in the stands who visibly aged at a pace similar to splinter’s after the last twenty years. she was young in his flashback, and wrinkled during the episode’s present day.

so maybe it’s the really powerful yokai lineages that live a long time.
