[galaxitix]

Have a photo from the Family Album o⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o

Made by your favorite rat dad, Splinter and his lovely assistant, Mikey

@ultimatebabygirlsupremebattle submission for the last mini tournament Family ⊂⁠(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠⊂⁠ ⁠)⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Small backstory on photo, and headcanons undercut

Ok so first backstory for photo:

So, basically splinter normally stays up and wait for his children return, that being when Lav comes to get him a report. His kids had been on some sort of mission that has kept them up a lot(which explains the eye bags). This time however, it was dangerous close daylight and he had not seen sight of his eldest or heard from the others so went to investigate when he came upon this scene. He thought the moment was too good and took a photo which was later added to his album (that Mikey got him into, not wanting him to be bored while they were out). Stickers was added by Mikey (tho Raph draw them and Donnie got them printed)

And now on to sleepy headcanons for my au

Starting with the eldest, she tends to drool in her sleep and she does do the coffin pose when sleeping(like in canon) except when her hands are preoccupied by your siblings. She is a extremely light sleeper which doesn't pair well with her insomnia. Most times, she is the one hanging out with Donnie in his lab when she is too sleep-deprived to drag him to bed.

Next Raph, he snored in the sleep and will denied no matter what proof is provided(Mika recorded him once to prove he does snore). He also has a reflex to grab everything and anything placed in his hand. (Which makes it hard for Mika to properly pull the whip cream prank on him since he just kinda squash it in his hand the moment it's put in his hand)

Next Donnie, they are very cuddly. When they fall asleep in the pit or in their bed(a rare occurrence), they will grab the closest person/thing beside them and let me tell you, when they grab you, you best believe you are not going anywhere until they wake up again. Donnie has a ridiculously strong grip in their sleep so to prevent them from trapping the person next to them everytime, they(their siblings) give them a pillow to sit with, in case they do fall asleep(Donnie like the extra weight in his lap and it's a headrest as a bonus). They claim they won't, but with their non-existent sleep schedule, yeah they definitely will. Another fact is that Donnie whistles in their sleep due to the gap in their teeth.

Now the youngest, Mikey/Mika, they are a wild sleeper. Some position he get himself into make you question what he's dreaming about. He also sleeps like the dead and only Lav and Splinter can successfully wake him with no trouble(Donnie and Raph still wonder how). He always has the wildest dreams and takes joy in rambling about it while they having breakfast .

As said before Lav has insomnia while Donnie is just a workaholic who purposely ignore their body's need for sleep.

Sometimes Lav will drag Donnie from their lab to her room to rest when he's overworking themselves (mama lav for the win) She only does this with them because Raph has no trouble going to bed(he values his sleep cause he rather be dead than be sluggish during a fight) and Mikey usually falls asleep despite how many attempts she makes to stay up all night(Lav also carry her to her room when she ends up falling asleep in the pit)

Peace (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)✌️

[lovely-lab-rat]

girl help i cant stop thinking about leos expirences leading up to, realizing, and becoming transfem

i think the other turtles transed their genders and leo never thought about hers (too busy saving the world)

Leo: YOU use eyeliner too?!

Don: yea i think its cool

(april and casey influence)

in this april and casey are eyeliner wearers and raph and mikey use it frequently.

raph is bigender and wears eyeliner whenever he feels like it and it can also give her some gender euphoria

mikey is genderfluid and tends to wear eyeliner whenever shes fem

Don doesnt usually wear it but sometimes he remembers and puts it on

Leo has yet to wear eyeliner but is curious about it and once she allows her curiosity to take control she will feel amazing about it

[cartoonfan130]

Beause I'm bored, here are my Rise headcannons!

Leo: Transmasc gay man (he/him) and has ADHD

Donnie: Non-binary bisexual (they/he) and has autism

[kawaiiblue18]

So um I’ve been watching Tmnt 2012 and I thought about what if the 2012 gang were all different species like in Rottmnt plus some gender headcannons so here you go

Raphael is a common snapping turtle and bi-gender (because I stan bigender Raph in all iterations). Partly inspired by his Rise counterpart, but common snappers are more aggressive than alligator snappers thus it fits her.

I noticed Leo’s model has some white spots, so I made Leo a spotted pond turtle. Also transfem Leo real‼️🗣️

Donnie is already tall in this iteration so why not make him taller. Credit to @/kikipups.draws for the idea to make them a Roti-island snake-necked turtle. I headcannon Donnie is a Demi boy.

I made Mikey a high orange Mississippi map turtle because they’re a pretty species and I’m happy with how she came out. Also gender-fluid Mikey because yes.

They all still have their weapons, I just didn’t feel like drawing them 🙃

[amoron4everyone]

This rottmnt pride month question:

What is Cassandra, Casey jr,Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mikey, Splinter, April and Draxum's sexuality????

(I assume this is asking my personal headcanon)

For Cassandra, she's a genderfluid lesbian

For Casey, he's a transmasc bisexual

For Leo, he's a gay transmasc

For Donnie, he's a transmasc bisexual

For Raph, they're either a transfem lesbian or bigender

For Mikey, they're either an aroace nonbinary or pansexual

For Splinter, he's bisexual

For April, she's a lesbian

And for Draxum, he's gay

Teenage Mutant Nature "Turtles" Masterpost

I wanna make a masterpost for these goobers. It will be updated as I make more content for them.

Iteration tag - TMN'T'

Iteration art tag - TMN'T' Art

Iteration info tag - TMN'T' Info

Iteration writing tag - TMN'T' Writing

Welcome to TMN'T'!! In this iteration, the boys don't grow up in a busy city, but secluded in a house in the woods on an island on the coast of South Carolina. When Splinter escaped with the kids, he ran as far and as fast as he could, hitchhiking, train hopping, and stealing bus tickets with two oddly covered toddlers and a suspiciously lumpy backpack.

Wonder who he was running from...

The story begins when April moves to their small town and stumbles upon the boys and their eccentric friend, Casey Jones. Shenanigans ensue, enemies are made, there’s kidnapping?? Maybe?? They eventually end up in New York, living begrudgingly in the hidden city with someone they don’t quite like.

They meet Cass, Sunita, Donnie’s online friend Donnie, and even MORE shenanigans ensue!! People get hurt, hearts broken, family ties tested, pasts revealed, and many, many hugs are given.

The photo references will often be out of date, so refer to the text parts of this post.

Q: What the hell is up with the birds?

A: They we’re mutated in their eggs with the DNA of two bio parents and a bird. The bird part was meant to increase speed and eyesight and similar things, but mostly just shows up in their patterns. They do have bird behaviors, like nesting and chirping and beaks, but turtles already had that. (Except for Donnie, homeboy doesn’t have a beak)

Q: Who mutated them?

A: ;) All I’ll tell you for now is that it was purposeful, similar to Rise. Leo was five when she was rescued, Raph one, and the twins in their eggs.

Q: What is the turtles relationship with each other?

A: Much like 2k12, Raph challenges Leo a lot. He knows she’s keeping things from them, won’t explain her scars, and there’s more to why they need to hide. All the boys tend to disrespect her place as leader, but are generally very close. Mikey and Donnie lean on each other, finding solidarity in being the “broken” ones(blind and softshell). The generally don’t need to talk to understand each other. They all cuddle and while they bicker, love each other very much. Overall, the relationship is good!

[onlygayinthecomics]

I been thinking about my turtle gender+sexuality headcanons (the ones I am reasonably familiar with)

To start, 2003:

Leonardo: I see him as transmasc, most likely coming out in early childhood by simply requesting that his family refer to him as a boy like his brothers, no fanfair. Probably gay, but I can swing bi/panromantic. I like him on the asexual spectrum. He seems most interested in people who can hold their own in a fight, as well as those with some kind of authority. Subby as fuck.

Raphael: Almost stereotypically masculine, you might think Raph is cis, but I see him more as bigender or a transwoman. She is unaware of this, and will never have any kind of egg moment on his own. Needs Donny to literally remind her that Leo transitioned when they were kids. Bi with heavy gay leaning. Wants a partner who can kick his ass.

Donatello: The rare cis turtle, demiromantic or aromantic pan. Sees sex more as a platonic bonding activity, would probably like a qpr.

Michelangelo: My boy hasn't seen a gender she doesn't like, whether that be for identity or dating. Very fluid in how they see both xirself and the world. I do prefer he/him for Mikey, but I also feel that he wouldn't give a fuck what pronouns are used.

2012 up next

Leonardo: I love transfem Leo with my heart and soul (big shock, I know), however this turtle is a veritable playground for identity headcanons. Leo can be read as transfem, transmasc, bigender, agender or really anything you can think of. Will be supremely insecure about this, even when no one else cares. Sexuality wise, Leo is into you as long as you're related to her able to kick her ass.

Raphael: Can be read as either transfem or transmasc, although I'm personally fond of masc. He'd prefer a woman who will kick his ass before pampering him, or a guy he can bully.

Donatello: Donatello desperately wants to be seen as "normal," to the point of refusing to acknowledge that he is both masc nonbinary and bi.

Michelangelo: Once again our pan king, Mikey will fall in love with most people within minutes of meeting them, even if that is very obviously a bad idea. Dtf whenever, but I actually think Mikey would see sex as just a fun thing to do, rather than something to be actively desired. Prefers a more masc identity, although whether that is as a cis guy or trans varies by the day.

Rise!

Leonardo: A gay transman, big shock I know. Like I don't even think that's a headcanon, I'm pretty sure that's just canon (fight me). I actually think this boy wants an authority figure more than any other Leo, and probably wants to be bullied and praised in equal amounts.

Raphael: I actually see him as cis, but I have seen the transfem art, and see the appeal. Pan as hell, with a preference for the cute and badass. Would probably also like an older partner who could kick his ass.

Donatello: Transmasc nonbinary and living it without shame. Bi, with preference for women.

Michelangelo: "Gender is optional, orange is not" quote stolen from rayshippouuchiha's Naruto Don't Gender Good au. I just think it fits him really well. Ace/aro, but loves the concept of love, just for other people. Arolovic.

I will do Mutant Mayhem after a few rewatches.

[starry-skies-116]

ROTTMNT HEADCANONS BECAUSE I WATCHED AND LOVE THIS SHOW AND AM HYPERFIXATING AGGRESSIVELY ON IT NOW:

They keep the surnames of “Hamato” despite abandoning the strictly traditional practices of the Hamato clan whilst also taking more eclectic inspiration from their arts to their own.

They all brumate btw. Pry this from my cold dead hands. Every time brumation season comes, the Disaster Twins Inc. hog the couch.

Donnie, because he’s autistic and is a softshell turtle, has sensory issues and is very picky about what food he eats and which clothes he wears, as well as what surfaces he touches. He secretly has a casual list catalogued about what sensory things he loves versus what he hates, and there’s a small area in his lab that’s sensory heaven for him.

All the turtles have different eye colours. Leo has natural heterochromia, one eye being cobalt blue and another eye being bright amber. Post-movie Raph has heterochromia from being turned into a Krang zombie for a short amount of time- one eye is emerald green, and another is a bright magenta purple. Donnie has warm brown eyes, and Mikey has baby/cornflower blue-ish grey eyes. April has hazel green eyes.

Teenage Mutant Intersex Turtles, anyone?? They’re all different variations of intersex on the intersex spectrum. Leo was presumed to be a guy and does have some male traits, but is biologically female- he’s both intersex and a trans dude (and I’m all here for it).

Raph is an aroace bigender (both transfem and demiboy), Mikey is genderfluid and greyaroace pansexual and panromantic, Donnie is nonbinary, asexual and greyromantic biromantic, and Leo is FTM trans, demisexual and gay (did I mention they are all intersex).

Yes I do headcanon disaster twins, and that Donatello was taller than Leonardo when they were younger but Leo is 3 and a half minutes older than Donnie and takes every damn opportunity to brag about it.

“We need CaCa and Maggie~!” “JUST SAY CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM GODDAMNIT-”

In the future, all of the turtles have cloaking brooches and stable jobs that earn them great income. They also have apartments close to the sewers that is their home.

Okay, we all know Donnie’s canonically autistic. But what if all the turtles are on differing parts of the spectrum. More at 5.

Donnie in addition to being autistic has insomnia, BPD and misophonia and does have sight issues and is prone to migraines due to staring at screens and not getting enough sleep, Raph has panic disorder, dyslexia, OSDD-1a and GAD, Leo has ADHD-I, autism, GAD and is bipolar, and Mikey has ADHD-HI, dyscalculia and autism. All of them have some form of PTSD post-movie.

Leo does know how to play chess please and thank you. He just does it for fun and doesn’t really practice.

Splinter has PTSD, is autistic and is bisexual (the most unrealistic thing is young Lou Jitsu/Hamato Yoshi in his 20’s NOT kissing men and enby hoes in addition to women). He’s not a bad father, he just passed some of that generational trauma of everything that’s happened to him, as well as his regrets and grief, down to his kids without even knowing and feels terrible about it once he realizes. He may have made so many mistakes as a father, but he deeply loves his sons beyond what they could ever comprehend, and he’d send anyone to the shadow realm if they laid a finger on his beloved turtle children.

Donnie and Leo (mostly Donnie) bite each other for no reason at all- not enough to hurt or draw blood, but enough for the bitten to yelp and want an apology from the one who did the biting.

April O’Neil is an also autistic lesbian polyamorous demigirl. She’s saving up enough money by working at The Foot shoestore partially for her top surgery. Sunita is her best friend soon-to-be girlfriend. They’re gay disasters your honor.

Cassandra Jones is MTF trans. Fight me on this one.

Sunita, despite being a teenage slime yokai, does celebrate and participate in Indian culture and does consider herself Indian (let me have my rep I’m starved of please). She’s also a lesbian demigirl, and is asexual and autistic. She also has the ability of superhuman bodily elasticity, even in human form (though it is restricted somewhat in human form). Sunita WILL call pilaf ‘biryani that needs therapy’ okay, she’ll fight you if you say they are the same thing.

Queerplatonic/non-romantic Apritello where they have a super close relationship greater than best friends but cringe at the idea of being in a romantic relationship together wya <3

April’s African American, we all know, but what about her being of Afro-Iranian Jewish descent and her mother’s Shakshuka and Latkes and Rugelach and Sufganiyot being her absolute favorite among all the stuff she makes. She gets MAJOR hyped by the time Hanukah comes around and tells the Turtle boys and Splinter about it.

And there’s more, but I’ll tell y’all about that later, or we’ll be here all day.
