It's been almost a year but-
THIS ARTIST IS WORKING ON HIS TMNT AU AGAIN AND HAS CONCEPTS TO SHOW !!
Hello people, I know it's been a century but sadly having a full time job as a high schooler makes one burn out asf !!! Happily for me, and for the like 2 people who still remember my sillies, my poor little beaten up brain started thinking about my silly turtles again !!
SOME MUTANT KIDS !!!
Raphael for size comparison <3
Slash's design was alread finished in my last post, and honestly he's my favorite. I love his colors n the general vibe he gives and I think I peaked. He's a aligator snapper turtle, and was previously an animal.
Mona and Wade were a little harder for me, the colors still looking a little wrong in my eyes, so I'll maybe try new ones when I can !! But they will be suficient for now-
Mona Lisa is a marine iguana, and was previously human.
Wade is a green sea-turtle and was previously an animal.
Also have an extra doodle of the world's biggest emotionally unavailable teenager asshole /aff
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOW SOME HUMANS !!! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS AU-
Our dearly April O'neil and one of the Caseys <3
Still clothe-less for anatomy reasons (and cuz i suck at designing clothes-)
April is 17 and Casey is 14 !!
My AU will have two Caseys for reasons of-
I love sapphic Capril to death, but I love Casey from 2012 and Junior too much to let them go, so why not have TWO CASEYS??? It's my silly au, I make the rules !!
For humans, besides April n the Two Caseys, I have Sunita, Timothy, Karai, Shinigami and Irma with designs swimming in my silly ol' mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I do want to use my entire brain in the au now, but I have to be realistic.
The full time job and end of high school really do make me too mentaly and physically tired to work on it as much as i want.
I'll be working on everything at my own pace, will probably be able to do updates on my silly arts twice or so per month, if I manage to wrestle my want to sleep the whole weekend-
I think that's all !!!
I'll try my best to not abandon my turtles and their world for so long again,, <333333
Now I shall sleep, cuz it's almost 1 AM and i have school in the morning ooops-

the soft animal of your body (1/3)
rise of the tmnt daemon au word count: 4k title borrowed from 'wild geese' by mary oliver
this au is the brainchild of myself and my dearest meeks, @gibbouslunation on ao3, @mykimouser on tumblr. it's inspired by 'his dark materials' but we're playing fast and loose with canon so please dont take it too seriously <3
the daemons so far !
read on ao3
x
“Mikey,” a persistent voice says, “wake up!”
“Mmmmno,” he mumbles, rolling over. “Five more minutes.”
The mattress gives beneath him with a bounce and a furry body wriggles its way close, shoving a wet snout against Mikey’s cheek. He giggles despite himself and tries tugging the blanket over his head, but it’s caught carefully in a set of teeth, and a game of tug-o-war starts immediately.
“I thought you wanted to make Raphie and Teddy’s favorites for breakfast this morning! If you sleep in there won’t be time!”
With a start, Mikey remembers the significance of the day and shoots upright. A second later, his arms are full of a very enthusiastic Border Collie. Helianthus is always excited to see him in the morning, like she didn’t just see him the night before. She’s always excited to see everyone, and Mikey both understands her and loves her with his whole entire soul.
He gathers Sunflower’s head in both hands and kisses her firmly between the eyes. She holds as still as a statue until the deed is done and then explodes into action, licking his face like it’s the last thing she’ll ever do, entire body wagging from the force of her happy tail.
Dodging her affections and untangling himself from the blanket, Mikey manages to climb out of bed. He’d wanted a hammock when he was little, but when Sunny settled, it didn’t make sense to have a bed that was so tricky for her to get into and out of.
She was the first of all his siblings’ daemons to settle, even April’s. She knows exactly who she is, and always has.
“Breakfast!” he reminds her.
“Oh, right!” she says, and shoots out of the room like an arrow.
A startled squawk in the kitchen probably means Donnie and Terror are up already, which probably means they pulled an all-nighter. And if they’re awake, their twins definitely are.
Leo’s relationship with sleep is hot and cold on a good day, but there isn’t a force on earth that could persuade him to lay around in bed while his counterparts were getting into trouble somewhere without him.
Sure enough, Mikey rounds the corner to find the four of them clustered around the kitchen table. Lucky perks up when she sees Mikey, and waves with one of her tiny paws, and he takes that as full permission to swoop in and steal her from Leo.
Leo smiles into his coffee mug and lets his little daemon be the one who says, “Good morning, Angie!”
She rubs her face against Mikey’s cheek, as outwardly affectionate and sweet as Leo likes to pretend he isn’t.
“Good morning, Lucky girl,” Mikey tells her, giving the ringtail an extra squeeze before letting her climb nimbly up his shoulder and perch on the lip of his carapace.
With his daemon already smothered in love, Leo leans into Mikey’s hug immediately, none of that new reluctance they’re all trying to maneuver present in any inch of him. That’s how you game the system.
(April was surprised by it when they first met. She was nine years old at the time, and absolutely fearless about following her new friends to their subterranean home. She greeted Splinter with the brisk, unbothered attitude of any native New Yorker and was an order of magnitude more impressed by Yumemi, who landed on August’s head in greeting as gently and prettily as a snowflake.
Mikey had been pretty sure that nothing on earth had the power to surprise this girl.
But less than an hour into her visit, Terror had gotten into trouble, as usual. She was scampering up the cabinets as a red-knee tarantula, because she’d made a bet with Lucky that she was just as fast climbing as she was flying. But when she was little, Terror tripped over her feet constantly no matter what form she was in, and eight legs was way more than she was used to keeping track of.
A panicked little squeak was their only warning when Terror slipped from the top of the cabinet, and maybe she would have thought to shift in time not to get hurt or maybe she would have kept scrambling to catch herself. It didn’t matter either way, because Raph reached out with both hands and caught her in the cup of them, safe and sound.
April had sucked in a startled breath, but the twins and their daemons all chorused, “Thanks, Raphie!” as he stood on tiptoe to place Castor carefully back in the spot she’d slipped from. And the spider raced off again, lesson totally unlearned.
“It’s okay, she won’t fall again,” Mikey had piped up, six years old and completely misunderstanding April’s reaction. “Terror is super clumsy but after their game she’ll probably turn back into something that flies!”
“It’s not that,” April said, looking between Raph and Mikey and Teddy and Sunflower like she had just discovered something besides their green skin and turtle shells that made them very strange to her. “Didn’t it—feel bad? To hold someone else’s daemon?”
She hugged Augustus to her stomach like the thought of anyone getting too close to him was enough to upset her.
But Raph tilted his head in confusion and Teddy, a fluffy baby cow at the time, tilted hers with him. “It felt the same as holding mine,” he said.
Any silly scampering part of Donnie was a part of Raph, too. Obviously.
They hadn’t known it was anything strange growing up, as insular as their family was. Of course, they hadn’t known about their ninpo back then, either—that secret mystical connection they inherited the second Splinter became their father, that tied them all together, that made their souls neighbors to each other.
And only a few years down the road, on a random summer afternoon in a busy comic book convention hall, when the big crowds were causing Teddy to shrink into a miserable little ball on Raph’s shoulder, April would say, “Come here, baby.”
She wouldn’t overthink it or second-guess herself when Theodora crawled into her arms, even though a random kid in the crowd who clocked the exchange would do a comical double take. She would just scoop her little sister up and make her feel safe, like it was the simplest thing in the world. Because by then, April would be Hamato, too.)
While Leo’s occupied, Terror hops across the table and dips her beak into his cup. He clocks it and sighs deeply but doesn’t wave her away.
Terror can get away with most things by virtue of being able to out-talk literally anyone, or by simply flying around like a maniac until her siblings get tired of trying to scold her and move onto damage control instead.
“It’s not my fault your coffee tastes better,” she complains, feathers ruffled. “Donnie’s still trying to pretend like he likes to drink his black, and it’s gross!”
Sunflower laughs out loud, then tries to pretend like she didn’t. Donnie’s head snaps up from where he had it buried in his phone, an expression of theatrical betrayal painted across his face.
“Castor!”
“Buy my silence! Use some syrup and creamer!” the hooded crow screeches back.
Leo is giggling too, slumping down in his chair so he won’t be Donnie’s next target, and Pollux springs from Mikey’s shell on his way past the table to rejoin her person. She has her own little cup of coffee but she dips her weasel-like snout into Leo’s instead, because whatever Terror does, Lucky wants to do.
“Good morning, Michelangelo,” a melodious voice greets him as he ties his apron on.
Mikey beams at the little moth perched on the upright handle of a wooden spoon and says, “‘Morning, Emi. Did either of those bozos make you tea yet?”
The moth hums, an amused, affectionate sound. “Yes, my dear. They’ve been awake for an unfortunately long time already.”
“Ugh, that’s what I was afraid of,” Mikey grumbles, but his heart isn’t really in it. There’s no sunlight in the lair, but the company of his dad’s daemon is warm and bright all on its own.
Yumemi is all the parts of Yoshi he doesn’t know how to express. Even back when his bad days could turn into bad weeks and he couldn’t muster the strength to get out of bed, his children never had the opportunity to question his love.
Not when Yumemi remembered all of their favorite things, and oversaw meals with watchful eyes to make sure everyone was eating their vegetables, and woke them from bad dreams with lullaby soft Japanese that needed no translation.
Of course dad loved them. His soul was proof. She told them every day.
Since he’d prepared the batter the night before, Mikey makes a decent headway on breakfast and has a tall stack of thin, flaky crêpes to show for it by the time Raph and Theodora wander in.
They look surprised and then pleased to see everybody waiting for them, smiling at the lively chorus of “good morning”s and “happy birthday”s they’re accosted with right out of the gate. Terror is quick to flap around them at speed, talking a mile a minute, and it detracts from the weird bit of tension between Raph and Leo that still exists in the margins.
Lucky quivers eagerly where she’s perched at the corner of the table, uncertain of her welcome and waiting on a cue. But the second Raph puts his hands out for her, she’s leaping into them.
“Happy birthday Raphie, Teddy! We picked out the best best best presents for you!”
“We helped!” Terror interjects, incapable of being sidelined, or silent for longer than thirty seconds. “It was a team effort!”
“With all four of your heads together, I bet it’ll blow us away,” Raph says, gentle in that particular way he saves just for little siblings.
To his credit, he doesn’t hesitate at all to pull Leo into a sidelong hug at the same time as he does Donnie in the opposite arm, and Leo sinks into it readily. Things have been a little weird and different, but not necessarily bad.
When you can hold each other’s hearts in your hands on the regular, it’s hard to miss how loved you are.
(About a week after Splinter’s abrupt announcement two years ago, shifting the leadership mantle from Raph, who had always held it, to Leo, who had never given indication he even wanted it, things were tense, to say the very least.
Yumemi was downright chilly with her other half in a way Mikey hadn’t witnessed since the disastrous flu incident when they were kids, that time Donnie’s fever had to officially break 101° before Splinter could be convinced that Something Was Wrong.
And unfortunately for dad, Leo had decided he was fully not on board with the decision, being his most contrary, uncooperative self at every turn. You have never seen malicious compliance until you’ve seen Leonardo with a point to prove.
It all came to a head in a big blowout argument that really everyone should have seen coming.
Looking back, Mikey doesn’t remember what started the fight, but it had been festering for days. Raphael was frustrated and his feelings were hurt. He’s been replaced out of nowhere, and his replacement didn’t seem to care about the job one way or another.
And to make matters worse, Leo almost seemed to be baiting him. He had his arms folded and his hip propped in the doorway, a mean little smile on his face that Mikey almost didn’t recognize—he had never, ever seen Leo smile like that at Raph before.
“Can’t you take something seriously for once in your life?” Raph said, fists clenched at his sides. “This is important and you’re acting like you don’t even care.”
“I think it’s safe to say you care enough for both of us,” Leo replied blithely, unmoved.
Mikey felt a sharp spike of worry from Sunflower, who was reading all the high emotions in the room like a book. Teddy was still trying to mediate, but her soft voice got shouted over.
“What if you goof off and one of your siblings gets hurt, huh?” Raph yelled, at his limit. “What if somebody gets killed cause you couldn’t bother to just grow up!”
Leo’s expression didn’t change at all, every inch the irreverent, unbothered teenager fully prepared to breeze past everything his big brother had to throw at him.
But Lucky burst into tears.
It drew everyone up short. The entire room just froze, like someone took an ill-timed screenshot. The only sound was Lucky crying, and then the scrabble of nails on concrete as Sunny raced across the room at top speed to comfort her, and Terror clicking her beat anxiously, all puffed up to twice her size.
Raph looked like someone punched him in the stomach. Leo didn’t look at anyone at all. At least his mean little smile was gone.
“Okay, boys and girls,” Yumemi said suddenly, startling them all out of the tense tableau. She was perched on the back of a kitchen chair, having observed the argument for who knew how long. Long enough, probably. “Family room, now.”
She was using the no-nonsense mom voice that got everyone moving. Seemingly between one blink and the next Mikey found himself on the sofa, Sunflower pressed into his side and panting anxiously.
“I won’t pretend not to know what this is about,” the moth says. “Yoshi has certainly spent the last few days hoping it would resolve itself before intervention was necessary, but that clearly isn’t the case, and I’ve let this go on for too long.”
She wasn’t scolding them. She had a soft spot for her turtles and their daemons that was a mile wide on all sides. But she clearly expected to resolve this issue right then and there and wouldn’t tolerate the usual time-wasting tactics.
Beating everyone to the punch, Terror bated her wings and blurted, “They don’t want to be the leaders, duh.”
After a beat of silence that felt extremely loud, Donnie added, “I would have thought that was obvious.”
Raph seemed shocked and Mikey felt that way too. Their whole lives together were a multi-part series of Leo stepping up and smoothing things over when they got out of hand, convincing his brothers to wait half a second instead of diving right in, scheming a way to get them out of trouble—or into trouble, as the situation called for it. He always seemed to live for it when a plan went off without a hitch.
Mikey had never thought about it before, but now that it was laid out in front of him, it was weird. You’d think Leo would jump at the chance to lead.
“It’s not really my bag,” Leo said instead. He had a hand on Pollux, almost hiding her completely. “All that extra work and responsibility, and not even a decent pay raise? No thanks. Besides, Raph does a great job. Why fix what isn’t broken?”
He refused to bend, sticking to his story. Knowing she was the weaker link, Lucky pressed her face into his plastron and wouldn’t answer any direct questions. Raphael looked like he was afraid to even breathe too loudly in their direction after making his littlest sister cry, and nodded rapidly when Yumemi asked if he was alright with things going back to the way they used to be.
“Yeah. Of course. Whatever—whatever’s best.”
The moth sighed, but not at any of them.
“Very well. I will speak with your father. He was wrong to handle this the way he did. Any future changes will be discussed beforehand, as a family. As for right now, Raphael is the eldest and he will continue to lead you.”
Leo was out of his chair and out of the room so fast that Mikey wasn’t entirely sure he didn’t teleport. Donnie followed right behind him, their regular roles flipped. Raph didn’t move at all, hands squished between his own knees as if he didn’t trust them.
Teddy was talking to him in her gentle voice. It was always so obvious to everyone who knew him why Raph’s soul took the shape it did, this soft thing that carried around a love so big it was better suited to someone ten times her size.
Mikey couldn’t hear what Teddy was saying, but it wasn’t for him to hear in the first place. He couldn’t bear to leave his big brother like this, but he couldn’t bear to leave another brother hurting out of sight either.
Their bond pulsing both ways with white-hot worry and impatient, leaping love, Mikey could tell when Sunflower absolutely couldn’t wait another second. She hopped off the couch and circled around to where Raph was sitting and laid her head on his knee.
It was delayed, but still a knee-jerk reaction for their biggest brother to give her the attention she was begging for. After a few minutes of petting her soft glossy fur, it was Raphie’s turn to cry.
Lingering, still not entirely willing to leave them and feeling torn in two about it, Mikey looked at Yumemi. The moth waved her antennae at him gently, an unspoken assurance that she would stay and make things right.
So Mikey left his heart behind to work her magic, and followed the twins from the room to work some magic of his own. If he could wheedle at least one smile out of each of them by dinner, he would call it a win.
That evening, when everyone had been dragged to the table not quite kicking and screaming but close to it, Splinter stood up awkwardly and apologized to the far wall for how he had handled the situation. From his expression, Mikey wouldn’t have been that surprised to find someone holding a gun to his head.
“The important thing is that you are a team,” Splinter went on, the formal stiffness fading from his tone and something more natural, more rueful and affectionate, replacing it. “You have always been a team, and a very good one at that.”
Yumemi fluttered from the table to his hand, wings opening and closing slowly in approval. Splinter took strength from her, and added, “It does not matter who leads and who follows, as long as you remain on each other’s side.”
Leo darted a quick, sidelong look at Raph, who met his gaze hopefully. Some line of tension in Leo’s shoulders went slack and he said, “Where else would we be?” and smiled as easily as if the last handful of hours had happened to somebody else.
Forever the more honest of the two, Lucky crept across the table inch by inch until Teddy could draw her into a tight hug that lasted well into dessert.)
Now Sunflower hops down from her padded bench and scrabbles like crazy around the counter for Raph’s attention. She’s such a good girl for waiting when all she ever wants to do all the time is run right to the people she loves as soon as she sees them.
Raph scoops her up as easily as April can scoop up August, a full size Border Collie dwarfed in his big arms. She shrieks gleefully and bellows “Happy birthday!” loud enough for all of Manhattan to hear. Mikey smiles as if her joy is his own and carefully flips the next crêpe.
“What do you want to do after the party tonight?” Donnie asks, setting his phone down. “The world is your oyster, Raphala.”
“But no patrol,” Terror pipes up. “It’s an important holiday.”
“It is an important holiday,” Sunflower agrees, tilting her head to the side so deeply that her floppy ear matches the upstanding one. “So are we going to the arcade? The movies? The park? New Jersey??”
“Hey, watch your language,” Leo says faux-sternly, causing her to yip with laughter.
“I was thinking ninja tag,” Raph says. He crosses the room to Mikey as he speaks, and wraps both arms around him from behind to lift him off his feet in a big bear hug, spatula and skillet still in hand. Mikey giggles and holds breakfast as steady as he can. “We haven’t done that in ages,” Raphael adds.
It’s an activity that rides the thin line between training and play, but if that’s what Raphie wants to do on his birthday, then that’s what they’re doing. Leo falls in line now as agreeably as he did two years ago—maybe even moreso. There’s some whining and complaining when the situation calls for it, but no more than any of the others are prone to; average annoying little sibling stuff because it’s good for Raph’s constitution.
Mikey thinks the biggest difference is that Leo doesn’t really suggest his own ideas anymore. He doesn’t test Raphael’s authority the way he used to, even when sometimes they could really use his voice of reason or his lateral thinking. He so adamantly does not want to lead them, for whatever reason, that he won’t do anything that might give someone the right idea he’s leadership material.
It’s something Mikey desperately wants to bring up, but every time he starts to, he can’t help but remember that uncomfortable family meeting and at that point his courage always deserts him.
The last thing he wants is for Lucky, that easily hurt part of Leon’s heart that walks around unguarded outside his body, to feel small or sad because of something Mikey said. He doesn’t know if he’d ever recover from that. He doesn’t know how Raph did it.
Two years ago, Leo would have thrown up his hands and said something like, “Ninja tag? For your eighteenth birthday? Come on Raph-a-doodle, think big! We’re hitting the Cheesecake Factory and then your favorite karaoke club. We can play ninja on the way home, how about that?”
Today, Leo stretches his arms above his head and then folds them, leaning back in his seat and telling Raph in his good-natured teasing kind of way, “Whatever you say, big guy. But don’t think I’m gonna let you win just ‘cause it’s your day.”
It’s a change you have to squint to see. But Sunflower told Mikey in a whisper one night that she missed how playful Pollux used to be. She missed the little ringtail who used to want to be everyone’s friend and solve everyone’s problems, who used to run around in circles trying to be helpful and good, never worrying about making herself a nuisance because she knew better than to think her family would love her any less for it.
“Maybe she’s just growing up,” Mikey had whispered back, stroking Sunny’s soft ears and ignoring the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach his own words put there.
“Maybe,” Sunflower said, but she didn’t sound very sure either.

tmnt 2003 Michelangelo headcanons
Mikey talks to himself when he's alone. He'll either have a full on conversation with himself or he'll narrate what he's doing like he's being interviewed for a tv show. Like when he's cooking he'll be like "So folks you're gonna wanna fold not stir your batter." or like "Now for this part you're gonna need to use some hand mixers, these are a great set my brother Don found them in the garbage."
There's like a sweet old lady who has her own cooking show and Mikey worships her like he has all her cook books and if he's in a cooking bind he'll be like "What would betty do?". He just talks about her like they're old friends he'll be like "Yeah this is a new recipe. Betty told me to use cream instead of milk"
Or he'll be like "What are we making tonight? Let's ask Betty" and open up his cookbook
For tv shows Mikey will watch just about anything he has no standards. I like to think that when they first got the tv set up, they only had like free-to-air channels and Mikey just likes having something on the tv. Like he'll be watching the shopping channel and just be like "omg that's so tacky"
Like he'll be yelling at the tv and everyone will be like wow what's mikey watching? and it's the shopping channel
One day he was left unsupervised and actually called cause he didn't know you needed a credit card and he'll be mad about that for the rest of his life cause he was gonna buy like a fancy toaster or something (and then he complained to donnie about it so donnie modified the toaster for him)
Also he's memorized most of the commercials jingles and he sings them constantly and everyone hates him for it.
Mikey writes and draws his own super hero comics in a big notebook and it's an ongoing story he's had for years. He's got like a self insert turtle-titan main character and he's created cameos for all his brothers too. Splinter is the mentor, Leo is the leader of like the superhero force, Donnie is his sidekick and he made Raph the damsel in distress out of spite.
But he's a pretty good artist. And I feel like he would be good at music too. Like he has an old keyboard in his room he likes to just mess around with. Nothing too fancy but sometimes he'll just play little jingles on it. Or 90% of the time it's him mashing the sound effects.
But april also plays piano and when she's there she'll show him a few little songs like she taught him heart and soul and they'll play that together.
Mikey is a couch hog if you sit beside him he is gonna put his feet on you. Like he'll be laying on the couch and he'll move his feet so someone can sit and then he'll put them right back down on top of them. And you can shove him off but he'll just stick them right back. Him and Raph go through this cycle every time they sit together.
Mikey collects human accessories like he's got a bunch of hats and sunglasses and necklaces. I feel like he would like to accessorize.
Mikey has a highlighter orange beach shirt with flamingos and palm trees and he's obsessed.
Also he has one of those tacky ab aprons he refuses to get rid of.

Hey op I know this is a oneshot but just know that from what I got from here I’d pay actual real life money to see a full fanfiction of this /srs
I am being someone PLEASE get inspired by this
2012 Donatello adopts Rottmnt boys
So, during the space arc Donnie randomly gets thrown threw a portal into the 2018 AU.
So now Donatello is in a weird AF New York and oh lot at the year it’s 1999. Despite him being in another universe Donnie is pretty sure his brothers will be able to save him soon. So, he moves into the sewers and sets up a very temporary home base.
A week later and you know Donnie is getting a little home sick, but he is sure his brothers will be here soon. Anyway, the dumping/trash laws in the universe are a lot worse so he can get a much of better/new materials so while he waits, he can work on a lot a cool projects in his down time.
1 month he really hopes his brother will get here soon because he is starting to go crazy. He managed to re-build Metalhead but you know not talking to anyone other than yourself for a month is kind of a lot for a turtle.
5 months, he isn’t growing. Like he has been studying his physiology and in 5 months he should have grown at least a little bit. This brings some worrying prospects, like time not passing the same between multiverses. He decides to make his base slightly more permanent, just in case.
1 year, Donnie is pretty sure he’ll be stuck here a lot longer then expected. He hasn’t even fully aged a day since he got here. Luckily this doesn’t affect his healing or else a paper cut could easily kill him.
2 years, he has been growing his lair since it’s something to do and he doesn't want to focus on his predicament. He kind of hopes someone will fall down here soon so he won’t be alone but he doesn’t think he’ll meet April or even Casey for like ten years at the soonest. Of course, he could just go find them but that might mess up the universe and he isn't sure what the consequences would be.
3 years, he meet his father and his brothers. Well this universe’s version. He found them in the sewers very lost, and yeah he couldn’t just leave them. So now they live with him, they are some very notable differences like A. Red/Rapheal is the oldest!! It kind of seems like Raph and Leo swapped but who knows at this point. B. All the turtles are different species, most importantly he is a soft shell. C. Splinter has much worse mental health. He regularly sees the man crying and has to comfort him. This universe is very strange. Red/Raph 2, Donnie/Purple and Leo/Blue are 1 while Mikey/Orange is few months old.
4 years, life is stressful but getting better. It’s nice having people around again, even though it sometimes hurts to see them. The little turtles have dubbed him mom which he doesn’t mind. He now has people to make inventions for again. Metalhead is the Defacto baby siter/protecter whenever Splinter and Donnie are busy. The issues of naming the turtles is brought up and Donatello becomes Tello and gives his name to his counterpart.
5 years, Splinter finally feels ready to move out. But they aren’t going far it’s only a three minutes' walk to their lair. It a gamble which lair anyone is sleeping at each night. Tello has been encouraging Splinter to improve his mental health, it’s an uphill battle given that the Hamato clan in his universe made horrible decisions, but they’ve made progress. He knows this Splinter sees him as a friend, but Donnie can’t help but look up at the man (Despite this Splinter being so short).
Year 6, Tello will never admit it to Leo but he’s been slacking on his training, so he decides to start practicing again. Of course, he trains where the boys can see and as expected they start to copy him and with Splinter’s permission, he starts to train them. Acording to the boys he is like 'Lou Jitsu' who is a action star in this universe, his skills seem to have some actual basis, so he doesn't stop them.
Year 7, it seems the turtles of this world were created very differently, he doesn't recognize this Draxum but from what Splinter says he's bad news. Mikey is 4, The twins are 5 and Raph is 6. Donnie has started to take an interest in tech as expected and Tello allows him to act as his Lab Assistant until Donnie can build own lab.
Year 8, April'o'Neil falls into their life and sticks to the turtles like glue. She is similar to his worlds April in her fire but that around where the similarits end. She's more of a sister then a friend and he is happy about that since he makes that hellish love tringle less likely to happen. When he gets back, he really needs to apologize to her for being so obsessive.
Year 9, Raph has started sneaking out, Tello sends metalhead to follow and protect him but doesn't stop him. The boys have been coming along well in there training but he can't teach them everything they need to know about there weapons. Luckily Splinter can fill in the gaps.
Year 10, he hasn't seen his family in a decade it hasn't really suck in how long he's been stuck here. He is still 16, at least physically, his meatal Deveopment is still 16 but he has 26 years' worth of life. He has grown a lot personally, helping to raise the turtles has let him see more of his own flaws and he lost that crush on April, but he still feels 16. Splinter never once asked how old he was, Tello isn't even sure how he would answer.
Year 11, Mikey is 8, the twins are 9 and Raph is 10. Tello feels more comfortable leaving the lair territory given that the boys are old enough to mostly understand the rules. Now he has started setting up safe houses around the city, just in case. He has been looking into their regular villains but the only one he can find is Stockman who apparently runs a supermarket and has a son???? He's keeping an eyes on them.
Year 12, Tello has been trying to learn new weapons, just to add more verity to his skill set. So as a training exercise he has each of the boys try to each him their weapons. Raph is the best, follows by Leo and the Mikey. Donnie gets out of this lesson by virtue of them both using the Bo. He ends up learning the Sai first.
Year 13, Tello makes himself to tech limb enhancements, they are made from high grade titiume. The act as amour and give his limbs more strength. For Christmas Donnie gifted him tech bo and Tello cried. These boys are more his sons then his brothers, he doesn't hate it.
Year 14, Mikey is 10, The twins are 11 and Raph 12. He knows that the boys have limited time before there lives hit the fan, he worries. He and Donnie make protective gear for them but he is always scared it won't be enough. A least he finally (relatively) mastered the Sai, next on his list were Leo's Katanas.
Year 15, he is pretty sure the Kraang don't exist in this world, he can't find any evidence of their existence. The Foot Clan is also elusive, but he has found evidence of their existence.
Year 16, Tello has officially been in this world an equal amount of time he had been in his world. The idea of going home is a lot less appealing now that he built his new family, of course he misses is brothers and father and always will but he has kids to protect.
Year 17, Donnie made S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. as a counterpart to Metalhead. Where Metalhead was more or less a tank that packed on hell of a punch S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. was fast and much more tactial. Tello finished his garage with an array of motorized wounders inside. The Shell Rassier 2.0, The Stealth Bikes 2.0, and his new favorites the Hover Boards (Think the skateboards form Shredder's Revenge).
Year 18, he knows it's started. He can see it in Raph's heightened focus on training, in Leo increase in terrible jokes, Mikey's new hidden sketch books and Donnie's increase in secret projects. He never pushes them though.
Until one night he comes home to a trashed Shell Raiser and a frantic Donnie. The turtles tells him about what happened to the Shell Raiser, something about Meat Sweats? Tello carefully gets the whole story. Apparently, they were already fighting the foot clan, but no sigh of Shredder. Tello calls the other boys in and tells them he isn't angry but says they now haft to tell him who they fight and call him for backup.
He meets Draxum during the Big Mama Fascio and the Yokai is hella confused but the mutant turtle who he 100% didn't make. Like he clearly isn't a Yokai but form the dialogue it sounds like he's been a turtle for years.
[Insert most of the series]
He is shocked to find out Oroku Saki is actually good and not a complete bastard so yeah. ALSO KARAI IS HIS GRANDMA AND SHE JUST ACCPECTS HIM. HE EVEN GETS MAGIC POWERS!! They free the soul of Oroku Saki. The fuck do you mean Casey was raised by the Foot! Well he has another child to care for now. That brings him to seven children
Year 19, he's been making progress with Casey and everything has been relatively chill but he knows this isn't the end. Like the Rat King or Kraang are bound to show up soon. He enjoys the down time though. Draxum dose ask about how he came to exist and Tello eventually tells him about is alternate timeline predicament. (Drax is the first one to find out). He agrees to keep it a secret for now.
Then Casy Jones Junior shows up he says Master Tello was dragged through an unknown portal two years after the Kraang invasion. He assumes it's his brothers finally coming to get him and after the events of the Kraang invasion comes clean to everyone about his true origins. They are all in a mix of awe and horror.
Year 20, everyone has been trying to make Tello's last years with them count. Mikey makes a bunch of art with him, Donnie learns how to run Tello's network of labs, robots and cameras, Raph watches all of Tello's favorite movies with him, Leo glues himself to Tello's side and dose everything with him. Draxum gives him a cloaking brooch so he can experience so bits of human life, Oroku Saki teaches him how to fight in/against Shredder amour, Karai gives him therapy, Casey Jones Junior lets Tello teach about everything he can think of and Cassandra trains with him daily.
It's the best and worse year of Tello's life, he is sure he could come back to this universe but doesn't his world need it's Donatello? But these kids still need him. His brothers need him they'll be so worried but his sons will lose him. He's going to miss everyone here, even Grandpa Saki!
He hasn't seen his family for 20 years, he has been in this world for 20 years.
It's a normal Sunday when he is suddenly ripped away form his lab, Donnie screaming next to him as he is ripped back to his original? home? Universe.
His brothers and family stand above him looking worridly down at him.
"Woah Donnie, nice gear!" Says Mikey noticing all his new tech
"We gotta get out of here, the Kraang will becoming soon"
He is hoisted up.
Day 1, all he can feel know that he is home, is numb. His name no longer belongs to him and the whole world seems so bland. It's only been 2 days here, he hasn't been able to speak a word. Fugitoid says it's muitverse travel sickness and he just needs time. They both know the robot is lying.
At least on his family members is in his room at any given time
Leo who is way too serious to be his baby blue
Raph who is too angry to be his sunshine
Mikey the most similar but just off enough that it makes him sick, he isn't his little artist.
He feels so old compared to them but they can't see the diffence.
"20 years" are his first words to his brothers after two decades.
Day 2, he can't say here. He's dying, the , mystics that are apart of his soul are searching for others but there nothing here. Tello hears them yelling
"20 YEARS!"
"2 DAYS!"
There in the room next to him.
April to his suprise is the first to say it
"We should send him back"
Everyone else is outraged but now the idea of him going back is out there.
He opens up to Leo first
"I didn't think you were coming, I-I I have a family there Leo"
After that the flood gates open and he breaks, his brothers as he sobs and tells them about his world.
Day 3, he wakes up with his brothers in a turtle pile and he can finally breath.
Later Leo tells him with a warm smile
"We'll work something out, we'll get you back to your boys!"
Fugitoid says they build a permeant gateway on earth. The robot also notes that the timelines have likely sunken up due to Tello's roundtrip. Which is a relief, he didn't want to go back, and it be 30 years there.
Now he has a goal, something to shed blood for and invent for.
It takes 3 months for Tello to stabilize his universe. Tello has had 20 years to train and improve his craft, he learned how to fight Shredder form Oroku Saki himself. The villains of his world didn't stand a chance. His brothers seemed mildly terrified, but Splinter got it. raising 4 turtle gremlins changes you.
3 months after he arrived a door had been opened back into his boys universe.
Raph nearly crushed him with the strength of his hug, Donnie cried, Leo went full medic mode and Mikey stuck to him like glue. After the enisle excitement of his return all the counterparts introduced themselves and in a very turtle fashion, ordered pizza.
#OP#OP listen to me right now#I adore everything about this concept#I love the idea of someone suddenly being ripped away from their life completely and thrown somewhere else with nothing/no one coming with#and living a whole ass life in that somewhere else#missing what they’ve lost but still content with their new life#while at first they would’ve given anything to go back#now they genuinely wouldn’t be able to pick between their old life and new life#but it’s not like the old life can come back so what the point in even asking#except it can and it did#whether they like it or not#either some of their old loved ones re-enter their life (slightly changed but nowhere near as drastically)#who expect their old friend#but are greeted with a different soul entirely#or in this more dramatic case#thrown back into their old life just as cruelly as before#like all the time they spent#all their accomplishments#all the connections they made#were nothing#they seemingly had as much of an impact as a dream#but it was very real#and to go through all that heartbreak again#and what it does to someone#mmm delicious#tmnt 2012#rottmnt#tmnt crossover

Stupid TMNT AU
Hello it's been a while how is everyone doing?
Good? That's great. Now for the very stupid very dumb TMNT AU I think to me at least
Okay this AU just pop into my head without warning even though today I have a collage exam but,
This is inspired by Two Souls by Virgilisspidey
see your name in shining lights by mlmtelephoneboy
Out Of The Shadows and Into The Neon by ObsidianCreates
Prompts inspired from @misteria247
Prompt also inspired by @tending-the-hearth
I think there's some more but i don't quite remember when I remember I will edit it here
This take place in Post TMNT 2012, like the 2012 group adventures are over, people accept them are very protective? or more like the human is just getting used to mutants but, slowly warming up to them so if anyone from outside New York moved a police men or any authorities in New York would be like "Okay, you can stay here and lived here but, there is a conditions you have to fulfill break them you have to find a new home got it? Okay so......" and for the ROTTMNT it's Post movie
Like there's an earthquake that is a happening around New York or around the world studently like it's too late to give warnings because of how fast the earthquake happened and while evacuated everyone from the perimeters 12 Leo sees someone running then a building was about to fell on top of them, 12 Leo being the martyr complex he is save them but gets pile on by the rumbles hard 12 Leo can't like get to his T-Phone because his arms are like pinned under the rumble moving would make the rumble crush him more, so 12 Leo stays there stuck hoping anyone would tell his brothers where he is that he is stuck and can't get out
But by the time 12 Leo's brothers did manage to be informs It Would Be Too Late
Then 12 Leo wakes up feeling something is wrong and sees he's a human and a baby?! What the fu-shell shell what the shell wasn't he just getting crushed by a building? 12 Leo looks around and sees people that we're supposed to be his parents, 12 Leo founds out his name would be ............(because I don't know what named suits him I didn't get far into here really this is just me rambling) and 12 Leo notice the place is way to bright to be his dimension, 12 Leo has a suspicious but can't prove it yet, so 12 Leo just accept like he had no other choice because hey he is a child and he pretty sure he can't go back to New York cause he died.
It's been around years since 12 Leo who is now maybe 12 or 15 year old? not sure, was reborn here everything's fine, he has a somewhat good relationships with his parents, but he still missed his brothers and the people back in his dimension dearly. One day 12 Leo has to moved to New York and he is excited since because 12 Leo thinks he is not in his own dimension because of how bright the colors are and the people around and himself here are 2D that means he is in a new dimension, 12 Leo thinks it's a different one from the 1987 version.
Either 12 Leo is made to moved to New York alone or with someone, after moving in his new apartment 12 Leo take a walk outside, walking around taking in the different scenery of New York then his own dimension, this place makes 12 Leo a little disoriented but he manage, Leo then buying coffee from a cafe he found and a croissant, before heading to the groceries store to buy some instant food and some ingredient to try to cook something simple that he can actually cook without burning the apartment down.
Everything goes smoothly for 12 Leo, he goes to a new school, meet many people, doing human stuff and studies, and slightly learning things like a bit chemistry, technology, arts, cooking, and a bit of skating, and a few more as his hobbies, doing anything that remind 12 Leo of his brother and friends to makes him feel like they are with him, and also probably because if he did live alone in the apartment 12 Leo can still take care of himself. Months goes by and nothing happened that makes 12 Leo paranoia because if things is going smoothly shit going down around the corner.
And it did one day when 12 Leo was groceries shopping he notice someone or someone's are jumping from rooftop to rooftop, 12 Leo could make out the silhouette of four turtles and 2 or 3 humans and 12 Leo is just like "Yup diffidently another dimension"
That leads to Leo getting snatch by the remaining of the Foot Clan, to take as hostage and then the rottmnt came to save him, only to find 12 Leo who has the chair he is tied up to as a weapon and a few knock out Foot Ninja's and 12 Leo noticing them was like "Uhhh I better get going" and just ran.
I stop here for now I guess.
#tmnt#tmnt 2012#tmnt fandom#Stupid AU#Question everything my brain throw at me#I tag other dimensions TMNT as well because why not because my brain also thinks it's being funny#tmnt 1987#tmnt 2003#tmnt 2007#rise of the tmnt#tmnt bayverse#rottmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt vs batman#the last ronin#At this point all tmnt versions if it can be make sense#I can't write for the lifing daylight so#I just write it here so it would stop I hope

@shr00mi3writefight @tmnt-write-fight @that-0n3-shr00mi3
Posted to AO3 <-
Leo had been walking forever (15 seconds). He wasn't sure where the voices were leading him. He wasn’t sure where the light would end up. But it was warm and kind and... uh... light-y?
"Lighty?"
"What did he say?"
"He said 'lighty'."
"That's not a word."
"I know it's not a word, he said --"
"Is he okay? He looks kinda... funky."
Leo moaned sleepily as he pressed forwards.
"Can you guys hear all my thoughts?
"Not all of them. Only the ones that are like dialogue."
"Dialogue?"
"Y'know, where you feel like you're talking to yourself."
"So you... you heard all that stuff."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"How come I can't always hear you?"
Silence.
"Hello?"
More silence.
"Uh, weird voice people? Hellooooooo? Where did you go?"
Leo felt more and more sleepy as he walked. He was so tired... he should have stayed in bed.
"No! Don't go back there, don't fall back asleep again --"
"Mikey! You can't just --"
"Guys, I think we're losing him!"
"Why... why can't I hear..."
Leo's legs turned to jelly. He started to topple over. He... he wanted to sleep... he can't... stay.... awake.....
The light started to dither away from him. He couldn’t make out what the voices were saying, screaming over one another. But it was all muffled, diluted. Like trying to hear someone who's miles away while you have noise-cancelling headphones on. He wondered if they could still hear him. Leo tumbled.
Into a wall.
Through the wall.
Leo gasped in shock as he landed on a cobblestone floor. He wasn't tired anymore, but confused. He couldn't remember how he'd gotten there. Or where 'there' was! He pushed himself off the floor and took a gander around. There were tables with autumn-coloured plaid covers, candles lit everywhere for ambiance, glowing blue mushrooms in the corners of the rafters and climbing up the brick walls. Pictures and portraits hung everywhere, of old customers and patrons, and a few famous Yokai that Leo had never heard of before. There were Yokai and mutants all over the place, some sitting and eating, some wearing nice uniforms and delivering orders. Leo knew this place, this was Run-of-the-Mill Pizzeria! Señor Hueso's place!
Speaking of him, the old bone man came out from the crowd, a huge grin on his face as he greeted Leo.
"Ah, Pepino! So good to see you again! But, eh, why are you on the floor?"
Leo was hoping he would look past that. It was embarrassing, especially since he had no real answer. Leo had a feeling all his embarrassments would be brought to light somehow. It made him anxious. But Hueso needed an answer.
"I, uh... fell," Leo offered.
"I see. Well, don't just lie around like a pescado deshuesado! Come come, have a seat, order something! Anything for my favourite customer!"
"I'm your favourite??" Leo asked with a grin. "I mean, of course I would be! After all, I come here the most, I even worked a shift for you that one time, I... You mean it?"
Señor Hueso laughed, as though the answer should be obvious. Leo revelled in the thought that someone favoured him. There was a pang of sadness. Not Leo's, but someone else's. Leo could feel the emotions radiating off some poor soul hidden in the restaurant. He glanced around, but nobody was paying him any attention whatsoever. So why did he feel someone else's sadness? And... why were they sad for Leo? It wasn't a jealous sad, like they wished they could be the favourite. It felt more like they were sad that Leo wanted to be the favourite. And they felt bad for him. A quick pang of guilt stung in his chest. That was all Leo, though, not some eavesdropping-ghost. Guilty that he'd made someone feel so sad for his sake, and... guilty that they saw that moment, saw his desperation. But it faded quickly, like ice in a flame. Hueso guided Leo to one of the best seats in the house and sat him down, petting him on the head affectionately as a menu was placed in Leo's hands.
"You can order whatever you like! On the house!"
"On the -- huh? What for??"
"Why, for saving the city of course! And the world, too!"
"I did what?" Leo questioned.
Hueso's expression faltered for a moment before his smile came back. He looked like he'd just been caught revealing some secret.
"I will go get your drink!" he said cheerilly, before strutting away quickly.
Leo's brow furrowed. That was odd. Maybe... he was referring to the Shredder's banishment? Yeah... yeah, that must be it! Funny, not a lot of people (or even Yokai/Mutants, for that matter) had heard about that. But then again, Big Mama was a big help in that, and he wouldn't put it past her to take whatever publicity she could get for herself. Oh well. Leo had saved the city so many times by this point, he could mean anything! But saving the world? Even though the Shredder was a huge threat, it didn't honestly feel 'world-ending' at the time. City-ending, sure. If he had made it out of NYC, then maaaaybe it would have been a world-ending thing. Maybe Leo was just overthinking it. He should think about what pizza to get instead. Oooh, hawaiian!
"IF YOU GET HAWAIIAN, LEO, I SWEAR TO PIZZA SUPREME --!"
Leo jumped. His knees slammed the bottom of the table, rattling the items on top. He glanced around in terror.
"W-who said that??"
No answer.
"Come on, I know someone just yelled at me! Who's there?!"
"Pepino, are you alright?"
Leo jumped again when Señor Hueso suddenly appeared in front of him without warning, gently placing a glass of soda on the table. Leonardo's eyes darted around the restaurant anxiously. No one was watching his strange episode. No one seemed to notice. No one seemed to care. Everyone was just... there. Like NPCs.
"Uh... y-yeah, I'm fine. I'm good," he stuttered.
"Have you found something to order?" Hueso asked, pulling out a notepad and pen.
"Um... H-Hawaiian?"
Leo felt a deep and insulted rage radiating towards him.
"I-I mean not Hawaiian! Definitely NOT Hawaiian!" he retracted, scrambling to look over the menu again. "I'll take pepperoni instead! With onions!"
"Wonderful choice, hijo," Hueso nodd, taking the menu. "I'll be right back."
Leo started shaking. Was he losing his mind? It felt like it. He kept hearing voices, kept feeling emotions that he knew were not his own. He felt weirdly omnipotent, yet powerless. The patrons seated around him started watching him. Why now?! Why were they only watching him now, when he was alone and scared?! Leo started to hyperventilate. He... he needed to calm down. This wasn't as scary a situation as he was making it out to be! He just woke up in a random place with no memory of how he'd gotten there or what had happened prior, and started randomly hearing things and... and... Okay, maybe it was a little weirder than usual. Had someone placed some kind of curse on him? Was that what it was?
The weirdest part was that he felt like someone was trying to get his attention. He kept glancing over his shoulder. Everyone was staring at him now, but that wasn't it. They were different. Empty. Someone wanted to talk to him, get him to hear them, see them, feel them. He could sense their desperation, he could catch vague whispers of his name, he could feel their gaze on him.
"...Hello?" he whimpered. "Who's there? I know you're there, where are you??"
No one said anything. But he could feel the pull getting stronger.
"...I can't hear you, y'know. But I know that you're there."
He felt their disappointment.
"What do you want from me?"
He felt... shock. Confusion. They didn't want anything from him. He felt compassion, kindness, generosity, worry, love. Who were these ghosts?
Hueso arrived with a full pepperoni and onion pizza, and dropped it off with a flourish. Leo's mouth watered as he reached forward to grab a slice. He opened his mouth, bit into the cheese and --
He couldn't taste it. Why couldn't he taste it? Leo pulled the slice out of his mouth and stared at it. It looked delicious. It smelled -- it, it smelled.... like nothing. He couldn't smell it. There was an emptiness to it. He grabbed the drink and gulped it down. There was no taste, no fizz, no carbonation or flavour. Just a texture of liquid in his mouth and down his throat. He couldn't even tell if it was cold or not.
"...it's not real..."
Leo glanced around.
"...Was that you, ghost?"
"You can hear me now?"
"I... I can hear you," Leo swallowed nervously. "What did you mean, it isn't real?"
"Nothing you see is real, Leo. That's what we've been trying to tell you."
"Who's 'we'?"
"Mikey, Raph, and me."
"What?"
"I said, Mikey --"
"He can't hear our names, Dee."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. Maybe the same reason why he can't recognize our voices."
"Recognize -- Wait, do I know you?" Leo asked anxiously.
"...Yeah. You know us, Leo."
"Well, who are you guys??"
"We're your --"
"Pepino!"
Leo yiped, his head snapped back to see Hueso staring at him.
"Pepino, you haven't touched your food! Is something wrong?"
"I-I... I..."
"He isn't real," one of the ghosts whispered. "He's here to keep you trapped."
"Trap...?" Leo whimpered.
"¿Disculpe?" Hueso asked, head tilting in confusion. "Did you say 'trap'? What trap?"
"I, uh, was just -- thinking out loud!" Leo covered up. "Yeah! I was... thinking about... traps?"
"Do you mean the laberinto de muerte?" Hueso asks.
"Yeah! Yeah, that!" Leo chuckles nervously. "I was just... reminiscing about it... I thought maybe I could bring my brothers here to try again?"
"Why, when you're already on the wall?" Hueso chuckled.
"Yeah, the wall of cheaters and losers. But I wanna try --"
"Losers? No no no no, uno azul! YOU are on the wall of champions."
"I'm WHAT?" Leo asked with shock.
Señor Hueso motioned for him to come to the hall of champions and pulled out a picture frame the wall. Inside the frame, a heroic and muscular Leo was standing in the center of a maze, posed like an action hero with a pizza pie in one hand and his trusted odachi in the other.
"...When did this happen?" Leo questioned, aghast that he'd already completed the maze. And that they'd let him try again after what happened last time.
"A few weeks ago, do you not remember?"
Leo did remember. Strange, how he could only think of it now. But a vision of him trouncing mystic baddies in a minotaur maze shaped like a pizza just simply popped into his head without warning.
"Oh. I remember that... I did that alone?"
"Sí, Pepino!"
"...Where were my brothers? Why didn't they go with me?"
"Why would they?"
Leo's heart sank.
"Did... did I just come alone that day, or did they watch, or..."
"They didn't want to do it with you," Hueso repeated, soft frustration in his tone, as though he was tired of explaining this.
"But why?" Leo asked, almost on the verge of tears. "I know I can be kind of... I-I know the last time we did it together, I lied and might have been a jerk, but --"
"Pepino, maybe you should just enjoy your meal?" Hueso tried, placing a hand on Leo's shoulder as he led him back to the table. "You look tired."
Leo was tired. His eyes felt heavy all over again.
"No, no, no! Don't give in again! Don't fall for it, Leo!"
Leo stopped.
"We --Your brothers care about you! They would never leave you like that!"
"Yeah! They'd kick butt with you whenever! Don't let this stupid fake-world fool you!!"
Leo felt Hueso try to pull him along.
"Pepino? Are you coming? Your food's getting cold!"
"You can't believe what you see! It isn't really there!"
"Pepino, come on!" Hueso pulled harder. "You have to sit down!"
"Please, fight back! Don't give in to his lies!"
"...Are you lying to me, Hueso?" Leo asked.
"What? Lying?? Estar como una cabra, you are acting crazy!" the skeleton man laughed. "You must be hungrier than you realize. Come with me, and we'll have a great meal --"
"I don't want to eat," Leo snapped, wrenching his arm free from the bone man's grip. "I want to see my brothers. I want to talk to them. Why didn't they go with me? Why couldn't I remember beating the maze? Why can't I taste anything??"
Leo's head felt dizzy, his heart pounded as he looked around the restaurant. It was starting to shift, it looked a lot scarier than before. The candles were blowing out, the Yokai around them were slowly looking more and more demonic and terrifying. Even Hueso himself started looking like a Halloween Haunted House decoration.
"It... it isn't real," Leo whispered, gasping for air. "None of this... What is this place? Where am I?!"
Hueso reached a bony claw out for Leo, his voice garbled and distorted as he tried one last time to reconcile with him.
"̷̜̠̀͗C̴͓̱̃̏o̸͚̚m̸̻̹͂͠ḙ̵̦͗͒ ̴͎̀ẁ̶̢̯i̷͇̣̎t̴̳̎̋h̸̪̿͝ ̶̞̰̓m̶͙̈́͆ĕ̵̗̾,̵̹̳͒ ̶̪͊L̵̝̎͘e̴͉̪͂o̸̘̔͠ṉ̸́ä̴̳̟́͠ř̴̨̛d̷͎̅͐o̵̘̖̊̚,̶͍̀"̶͎̇͘ Hueso enticed. "̶̼̰̽S̴̱̈́̓t̵̞̰̅́a̷̫͖̾͗ý̴̘͖ ̸̖͊w̷̡̻̅ĩ̸̖̟ẗ̶͚h̵̳̾̒ ̸̛̠̉u̶͔̎š̶͖̲͌.̶̨̉̇ͅ"̶̢̠̄
Leo reeled back and started running. He had to escape this place! He rushed down the hall of champions and leapt over the red velvet rope that separated the restaurant from the maze entrance. He threw the door open and darted into the maze.
The entrance vanished with a fizzle and a spark. Leo kept running.
"Where is he going?"
"I don't know!"
"Well, can we help him get out, or what??"
"What say you, Michael?"
"Um... I think we have to lead him through certain levels to get him back."
"Levels? Like a video game?" Leo asked.
"You can still hear us?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, the last time you went into a new place you lost your memory of us and how you'd gotten there."
"I did?? When did that happen?"
"Never mind. Mikey, what did you mean by 'levels'?"
"Well, Barry said that with spells used for situations like this, you have to gradually wake the person up. That means going through different dreams in turns, like levels. We'll probably notice when this one ends and the next one starts."
"Who said?" Leo asked, turning a right past an aisle of flaming spikes.
"Barry...?"
"Wait, I kind of heard that one!" Leo exclaimed. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means you must be getting better!" the voice cheered. "You must be waking up!"
"Waking up?" Leo asked, skidding to a halt. "What does that mean? Am... am I asleep?"
It grew awkwardly, uncomfortably silent.
"...You didn't know? Leo, you've been asleep for a week."
"What did you say?"
"I said you have been in a coma since the invasion --"
"He can't hear you, Mikey."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. He... maybe he's blocking it out?"
"Blocking us out? So... so he's doing it on purpose?"
"Doing what on purpose?"
"I don't know. But maybe... we should not bring it up yet. Until he's ready to hear it."
"Hear what?" Leo asked, looking up as if he might see the ghosts floating about him. "What am I not ready for?"
"It's... hard to explain. But for whatever reason, you can't physically hear us mention our names, or who we are, or why we're here."
"Is that part of the trap?"
"The huh?"
"You said that there was a trap in Run-of-the-Mill. Is whatever's keeping you from telling me these things part of that trap? Are you trapped, too?"
The voices were quiet, whispering amongst themselves.
"...You might actually be on to something there. The... 'thing' that's trying to keep you here may be fighting against us."
"Why?"
"...I don't know, Leo. But we're gonna do whatever we can to save you."
"S-save me? Like... Like I could die?"
"Maybe not 'die'. But you are trapped here."
"We want to help get you out!"
"Oh. Phew!" Leo exhaled loudly, laughing with concern. "For a minute there, I thought that maybe my life was at stake or something! Ha!"
The voices chuckled nervously with him, as Leo continued to escape the maze...

TMNTOSNS Masterpost (WIP)
Thirteen years ago a big explosion assaulted the ears of millions of New Yorkers. Debris destroyed entire neighborhoods, Green Clouds of toxic gas covered the streets for weeks, and terrible monsters were born. Mutants, the volatile and dangerous, completely unpredictable. Some of them were feral, violent, and crazy; others were smart and talkative, but still crazy. It didn't matter what type they were however, they were all a threat to society, to humanity. Segregated from humans into the streets ruined by the tragedy, or hunt down and killed, it didn't take two years for mutants to disappear from the city that never sleeps, but they weren't actually gone. And humans were proven fools for thinking they were. After a decade-old silence, the dangerous, scary mutants are on the news again and this time they wouldn't stand the violence against their kind. A particular group of turtle siblings and their crazy redhead human friend are set in the case to change people's minds about mutants, while also falling head first into the mystery behind the actual creation of mutants. Who owned the destroyed lab? Who created the mutagen? How are the mystic Yokai involved in all this mess?
...how is Dad involved in all of this..?

Thales finally giving his little AU a name?? AND a masterpost ???? what a miracle,,
This au is heavily inspired in ROTTMNT and TMNT 12 with almost invisible sprinkles of Bayverse (believe it or not lmao-), and it will focus mostly in family bonding, self-discovery and friendship, while also focusing a lot on the mystery. Elements of mystic weapons and reincanation are here too.
It's still very undercooked for now I know, but I created it mostly for fun and just started giving it lore now, so I'm taking my time :_)
I'm not a very good writer and my english is a bit wonky, but I'm trying my best.
I'll be updating this post with links with other important informations like character sheets, comics, writen snippets, etc.
I'm already working on Splinter's character sheet and doing concepts for other characters as well !!!
Any questions about them are very welcome too, so don't be shy if u have one !! :)
Some things I have to say too are:
I'm not a japanese speaker, so if u notice any name or Kanji are writen wrong/awkwardly I'd love you to death if u warned me about it <3
heads up about Donnie/Raph: I'm not a doctor of any kind and the research about their disabilities was done by me alone using just the internet during a lot of hours. I want them to be good rep and if anything I say/draw about them feels ofensive or wrong, don't feel afraid to tell me!! I want to learn more and improve.
heads up about Lavinia: Diferent from Raph, she starts the history while still being an egg (not out as trans yet), so she will be called by he/him and Leonardo in some comics/writen snippets. I'll probally add a note warning about that in those cases, but wanted to give this little warning anyways :)

And Nolan's Flood: Charlotte McPherson is the only girl—and one of the only people—in the town of Roadsdale who can read. This makes her particularly interesting to the local doctor and part-time Sunday school teacher, Mr. Nolan. Although they don't know each other well, the two make plans to marry. But how long will this courtship last in the face of tragedy?

Heya People! How are you? I'm here to recommend some Tmnt fanfics! (Mainly crossover because that's what I'm looking for the most, I don't know if I'll do this correctly)
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ Crossover 🐢
the question is violence and the answer is pizza by @shoppingcartshells
Summary :
Another one of those crossover stories, wherein the 2012 turtles are all grown up and the 2018 turtles are troubled teens determined to give them gray scales
Chapters: 32 ( not yet finished )
Tots and Interdimensional Space Portals
I don't know if the author has Tumblr but if so please tell me
Summary :
In a last-ditch effort to save his brother when faced with a possibly life-ending weapon, Leonardo threw himself in front of Michelangelo to protect him from the oncoming blast of an advanced Kraang device, not expecting to walk away from the shot unharmed. What Leo hadn’t anticipated happening was being thrown into an opening portal and sent halfway across the multiverse only to be found by four familiar but much younger turtles.
Chapters: 24 ( not yet finished )
The Last Ronin Becomes a Discord Admin by @melonpalooza
Summary :
The Last Ronin survives the fight with Oroku Hiroto. He didn't expect that. He no longer can hear his brothers, and it makes him just a little bit lonely. One day, he finds an old laptop left behind by his late brother. On it is a single messaging platform, filled to the brim with other turtles from other dimensions. They were just like his brothers, yet so different…
Why did his brother make such an invention? For what purpose did he intend for it? And why do these kids keep trying to get him to open up?
Chapters: 44 ( not yet finished )
( The Last Ronin Becomes a Discord Admin also crossovers with other fanfics )
Ghost in the Shell by @bluepeachstudios

In one universe, 2003 Donatello disappears from his brother's lives, which leads to the Shredder's takeover and the death of the remaining turtles.
In another, 2003 Donatello appears, and spends 10 years trying to find a way home. Then he sees something he can't imagine; an alternate version of him, Splinter, and his brothers, seeking shelter in the sewers.
Chapters: 31 ( concluded )
( Ghost in the Shell also crossovers with other fanfics )
Double Rainbow (Beyond Space and Time) by @alicat54c @bluepeachstudios

Two Souls by @virgilisspidey
Summary :
Leo was never lonely.
Sure he has his pops and his brothers and his best friend sister April, but he also has someone else he's known almost all his life.
He's a mutant turtle too, and for some reason, only he can see him.
It's alright, it's not like he wanted to share him anyways.
A rewrite of some of the episodes where 2012 Leo is connected to Rise Leo's soul and acts like a weird imaginary friend
[Part of the Mama Leo Series.]
Cross Dimension Kidnapping (with pics)
by @aealzx

Chapters: 10 ( not yet finished )
Too Many Turtles by @dysfunctional-doodle
Summary :
In universe 2003, Donnie tries to experiment with the inter dimensional gun the 1987 turtles had given him. Instead, he accidentally creates a multiversal chat room for many different versions of his brothers, and counting.
It certainly makes life…interesting.
TLDR: multiverse group chat between most iterations of the turtles. Starts with 2003, 2012 and 2018 but more are added as I go. 50% plot and 50% chaos.
*now includes the 87 and mutant mayhem boys!*
Chapters: 24 ( not yet finished )
Wedding Bells and Magic Portals by @melonpalooza
Summary :
It had been ten years since they had lost Splinter, the patriarch of their family. But now the Hamato Clan was celebrating new beginnings, including a marriage and the upcoming birth of the next generation. Things never go to plan, though, and the Hamato brothers find themselves in an alternate dimension. Again. Oh, sewer apples.
Chapters: 7 ( concluded )
interdimensional minecraft
( I hope that one day it will return )
Summary :
Another crossover chatfic between the tmnt universes where they teach other how to be a healthy family, except its only some of them, and none of them know its their siblings from another universe, let alone know their acting as a family therapist for each other.
Chapters: 12 ( not yet finished )
Well, I think that's it for now 🤔 I have a few more but as I haven't read them yet I don't know if I should post them or not, I know that some of the ones above are already very well known, but there's no reason not to give them more love, right? Then that's it! Maybe I'll update more when I read the ones I saved (or maybe if some of you want to see it anyway)
( please let me know if you have any errors )
Bye Bye Manos ☄️🐢

Had an idea for what happened to Disc after his fight with Vitality (feel free to ignore if you've already got plans for him), though for context I need to talk about what Leto and her minions have been up to.
See, in order for Stockman to actually be useful he needs a lab to do his mad scientist stuff, preferably somewhere the group can lay low, so they looked around and found an abandoned server styled as a laboratory that may or may not have been one of Worm's old hideouts, not that any of them have any idea about that of course. They've also managed to cobble together a technically functional body for him that mostly just consists of a big jar and some spindly metal limbs. Crude, but it'll work well enough for now.
Disc comes into the picture when a burning, mangled, vaguely humanoid mass of code stumbles through a portal into one of the server's common areas. Initially they see it as a security threat, but when he utterly fails to do anything but sit there and look like an on-fire corpse they calm down, and Leto notices the unusual mix of different codes and the fact that his soul is barely clinging to it (dude finally got his wish and Cheated Death, unfortunately for him), decides he's Interesting, and asks Stockman to see if he can make anything out of the mess.
And so Disc slowly comes to on a hard metal table in a strange room, still in pain but in a very...different way from before he passed out, "Wh...where?" his voice sounds foreign to him, though he can't put his finger on why.
"Ah, so there is still a mind in there. My condolences."
As you might expect, Disc is pretty damn shocked and confused about waking up in what looks like some kind of nightmare hospital staffed by a disembodied brain, and Stockman's explanation alleviates some of the confusion but not really any of the shock, especially when he finds out what Stockman had to do to him to make the death-cheating actually stick. Basically, he had to stitch together whatever was left of his original code and his Damien disguise's code into a functional vessel, somehow using the code of Vitality's firefox flames to thread the conflicting codes together and fill in the many, many gaps. The result is a hulking werecoyote/zombie/lava monster thing with Disc's mind and a terrible hollow feeling where his source code used to be.
"Not a pretty sight, I'm afraid."
Disc-or whoever he is now-simply shrugs, "Hey, anything's better than dying."
Stockman lets out a cross between a huff and a chuckle, "Oh, to still be so naive."
Disc eyes the brain in confusion.
"Take it from someone with experience; getting ripped from the jaws of death may seem like a blessing the first few times, but after a dozen or so the pieces left behind start to wear on you." he stares forlornly at lone of his jar's claws where a human hand should be, though it's a bit hard to tell given the single lidless eyeball.
Disc isn't sure how to take that, and so just looks over himself some more, doing his best to get used to his new body, "what am I supposed to be, anyway?"
"Well, where I'm from you'd likely be considered a mutant, though it somewhat depends on the continuity."
"Wait, you're that Stockman? Aren't you supposed to be a fly?"
"Again, depends on the continuity. I personally am one hundred percent human...well, genetically at least."
"Huh."
"...You know, there's... well, I'm not sure if it qualifies as a tradition or just a pattern, but mutated sapients in my franchise often take up pseudonyms when they turn. Not as much a thing in my version since our mutegen worked differently, but still. I've got some ideas if you're interested."
"...Sure, why not. It'll probably keep the Admins off my back at least."
----
And so Leto and Lumi are introduced to the newest member of their little team; Rahzar.
(yes I know TMNT '03 technically had a Rahzar in Turtles Forever but he only showed up in like two scenes as a random Foot Mook and I can't remember if he was even namedropped.)
(and yes, Disc is still too much of his usual dumbass self to realize that being bound to an unrecognizable lifeless shell of himself and owing his survival to a madman and the worst Program on the 'net is probably going to be a fate worse than death. Even when warned by said madman who's been dealing with nearly that exact fate for most of the show he's from.)
Yoo!! Love this. I really didn't have a good idea what I was going to do for him, so this is great!

Cyberspace world explanation!
I just realized I haven't explained anything about the world.
My TMNT iteration, TMNT:Cyberspace, takes place in the year 2061. The world is a lot more modern, but still has remanence of the "old world". Aliens have started coming down to Earth. Mostly for tourism, but some to live, which has sparked anger through out the Earth, and there's a lot of debate on how people feel about it. Robots are still a little side eyed in the street, some saying they aren't really conscious, some saying they are conscious enough to be considered alive. There has been a lot of new experimentation with genetic modification over the years, which has also sparked debate.
With the rapidly changing world, there is a lot of debate and fights breaking out. To combat this, the government has introduces something called "Social Chips." (Based off The Last Ronin lost years) These are used as a form of currency. If you follow the strict and unfair rules, or do something good unless the government doesn't like those people. Which has mostly fixed the problem!
Though, for the people who can't get social chips as easily, there is an underground market (like, literally underground. But also underground in the other way.) that instead of using social chips, trades goods for other goods. To try and stop this, the government has been really strict with their allowance of "unauthorize farming or creation", which has not only caused the amount of art being created to go way down, but has also just made MORE underground projects with farms and other things.
Also, back to the aliens bit. Kraang! Kraang have been working with Shredder for years, and they're friends no. Frenemies. Or... more like just enemies that have to work together. They are basically just 1987 Shredder and Krang dynamic but a little more serious. I just think their silly.
And while we're on the topic of Shredder, I'll try not to spoil too much, but lets just say Splinter and Shredder have an interesting past.. (no, they we're not dating if that's what you thought... maybe I'm the only one who thought you thought that.) they used to be close friends, but something (cough cough, wifey, cough) came between them and after Splinter got mutated he turned Splinter's dojo into a cult, and renamed it. (I think you can guess what he named it to.)
And finally, about the turtles, they used to be experiments, so don't mind the scars :) (Especially on their necks... except Leo's. You'll see an explanation why he doesn't have neck scars in the comic.)
If you got this far, heres a sneak peek at the first frame of my comic!:
I'm doing a part color for the whole comic, btw. This panel alone too about 2 hours, so you can see why lol. Also I forgot their weapons but I'll turn that into meeting April. Or, the turtles already knew her, YOU meeting April. I hope you guys will like her, cause Casey and her are literally soul sibling.

So...I've been tagged by @agirlandherquill who was tagged by @katwritesshit to participate in a tag game from @halfbakedspuds, so here goes!
Rules: Answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.
1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?
The Prologue, featuring Kato(Death, Psychopomp, Thanatos), Halcyon(Sleep, Hypnos) and Basile(World, Hades, Persephone) dubbed The Old World Trio because they're the only beings from the Old World who still exist in the New World. The first location I visualised was the Border, which is where souls go before being taken to the Underworld.
The Border.
2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?
[The Main Character by Will Wood] I love this song and it fits Kato's personality very well, especially during the Prologue. I can imagine Kato, Halcyon and Basile singing this together with Kato playing the Piano.
Abstract Kato playing the piano.
3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?
My favourite has to be Kato, since they're the first character I ever created so I have lots of fond memories of going about developing their character. Halcyon came later as Kato's twin, and I grew to love their dynamic as siblings who then formed a found family with Basile. Halcyon would call Kato out on their bullshit and keep them in check while Basile is the reliable rock of the group.

4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?
Some Rise of the TMNT fans may notice some similarities between Leo and Donnie's dynamic (the disaster twins) and Kato with Halcyon. I did base some of their personalities on the duo, Kato being Leo and Halcyon being Donnie, so that's not a surprise. There's also a found family dynamic (and FANTASY :D), so I think fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Ninjago could like the Prologue too!
5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?
Coming up with names! I really struggled with naming everyone, especially Kato because I wanted the best for them and also because Thanatos and Death in general is hard to work with. I still do not have a name for my story, though I'm working on it. Plot and writing is also hard, so is visualising. (In summary, everything.)
My earliest digital drawing. Abstract Kato increasing their collection.
6. Are there any animals in your story?
Plenty! I have not touched the main world yet, but I do know the New World is teeming with life. The Underworld and the Border on the other hand, have its very own bioluminescent inhabitants like the Glow Fishes, the massive Blue Dragon and the Soul Butterflies. Now that I think about it, the Underworld really resembles the spirit world from Avatar.
Some animal concepts.
7. How do your characters get around?
Probably on foot, though I have though about using their powers, like shadow travel from Nico di Angelo. Some of them have physical wings like Volaria and Felix (bird people), while others like Kato and Halcyon in the Prologue have more spiritual ones. Maybe they have animal companions, summons or just teleport through plantlife (Basile).

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?
I'm mostly working on the Prologue, with small bits of the First Interlude and the Main Story. I haven't started on the Epilogue yet, only the things I want to see happen like Halcyon and Basile going on a journey together.
9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?
Realistically speaking, art tends to get the most attention on Tumblr. In order to do that I'll need to work harder on drawing to show my story through visuals, and not just words. I'll have to doodle my way into people's hearts!
A place in the Old World.
Whew, that was a long one. I don't really know many people who have WIP stories since I'm pretty new to Tumblr, so I hope they don't mind me tagging them: @hansenesque @drawnecromancy @the-arcade-doctor @devgel7889

Hi! I know that you are currently focusing on other Fandoms but I have a question about you human tmnt au.
I saw on your blog that despite still being human they stil have some form of mutagen in their system. And my question is how did they come in contact with the mutagen?
You're in luck!
The TMNT bug is back~ ♡♡♡♡
I'm planning to update and post more about my human!AU and the origin and lore.
But here is the shorter version of the origin of their Mutagen contact.
‘Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi having a feud, driven by Saki and his jealousy for the things Yoshi had that he felt should be his own, is an old story.
Rivals in the clan, set against each other in the adoration of Tang Shen, who reciprocates that affection with Yoshi.
It was more scorn than the fragile ego of Oroku Saki could handle, and he set his mind to levelling the playing field.
If he couldn’t have what he saw as rightfully his, he would take it by force or leave it to no other.’
~
The rivalry of Yoshi and Oruku ultimately came to a head once Yoshi had discovered a substance at a forgotten shrine that could enhance the mind and soul.
Tang Shen studied what they had found at the shrine, finding traces of it in old folklore, and eventually created a substance not dissimilar to an enhancer or medicine. Mutagen.
Its properties are told in scripture and legends of superhuman strength and abilities, giving a person enhanced reaction and intelligence, as well as advanced healing and health.
With so much of their lives already on tender hooks, including their adoration for Tang Shen, the opposing views on this new and possibly life changing enhancement were the final straw.
Yoshi knew that Oroku would use it for the wrong reasons, for war and creating super soldiers to command and control, a dream he had often shared which deeply concerned him.
Where Yoshi wanted to help those in need and never take more than was needed, Oroku wanted to complete control, take before being taken, kill before being killed. Power over all.
Sharing his worries with Tang Shen, who had fallen and devoted herself solely to Yoshi, they both agreed to hide it and keep it away from Oroku . They both agree to run away together, taking the mutagen with them.
But, after learning of their plan, Oroku leads a small attack on the clan village, his madness growing and leads to the demise of Tang Shen, while she stays behind and tries to distract and keep him from Yoshi.
Her death instils his hatred for Yoshi, vowing to hunt him down and destroy him and create an army to finally claim what is rightfully his.
~
Yoshi went into hiding, fleeing his homeland and keeping the Mutagen hidden, locked away, unable to face the reminder of his loss. That was until he found his sons.
After a year of neglect and seeing his struggles to grow and recover, Yoshi gave a small dose of the mutagen to Raphael.
At the time, Raphael was the smallest and weakest of the boys. Yoshi hoped that it would help heal him, and later after gaining Michelangelo, gave it to each of his sons so they would all grow and share the strength equally.
This increased day by day with their training, Tang Shen's hope and legacy becoming living proof through the brothers, with Yoshi's determination and dedication teaching and guiding them into becoming highly skilled and honorable warriors.
Part of him also wanted them to grow strong, healthy and be able to defend themselves, should Oroku ever return and challenge them. they'd be ready.
That and so they couldn’t be taken from him as well.
