Uhh hi peeps! I thought I might as well keep record of my au here for easier access and in case ppl are interested. So here's what I've been up to

Not sure what to actually say about them so feel free to ask questions if you're curious. I don't have a LOT lot on them but I have some lore.

”Jannik is better, trust me, he’s gonna win, he’s so great, he is the best player in the world, he…”

”I wonder what Rafa is doing.”

inspired by a conversation i had with mars the other day, i ask tennisblr:

*significant can mean a 1000, the wta/atp finals, the billie jean king/davis cup finals or something else i'm forgetting that's particularly important during the tennis season. some of these have dates that have varied more than others over the years but regardless since every tournament obviously happens on different dates every year i'm asking usually, so if most years your birthday is during, for example, indian wells or the davis cup finals pick the 2nd option even if sometimes it isn't, you know

Things Rafa said about Nick

things nick said about Rafa

I always felt that out of the big-3 he always had this hate towards Rafa for no reason. Like Rafa is the calmest of the three, he'll never ho after you unless you poke him first...never understood his negative view of Rafa...it was so childish like "everyone idolizes him so I'm gonna be different and disrespect him" ok sure dude, go be an ass good for you

I used a Brasilian song in the first scene of my Rafa Martez backstory fic, and I got curious of how would it look like if someone put that on Google translation to see what's saying

This is the funniest shit I saw today.

Sakura turtles. Plot wise this au is going to be heavily based on the Mirage comics and 90s movies.

I don't have much on the story yet, but I can talk about a few things related to their designs.

Obviously their masks and the hamato symbol are based on sakura flowers. In Japan, sakura represent a new beginning and love. I think those themes are very fitting for the turtles and Splinter. Splinter assigned them pink masks to make the beginning of their new life together and hope for another better life in the future. He wishes his children to spread love instead of hate. He hopes that the masks will serve as a reminder to never stoop as low as Shredder despite their grudge against him. And also as a reminder of their origin in Japan. All the turtles are species that can be found in Japan, fun fact.

You guys remember 2003 opening? "Never fight unless someone else starts" is one of the ninja rules and these guys take it very seriously.

I know I said I don't have much on the plot yet but writing this is giving me ideas. Splinter doesn't tell the turtles about Shredder, he doesn't want them to carry on that burden and he doesn't want his hatred to be what controls him. New beginnings and all that, leaving your grudges to your previous life. That's what he had hoped to do. But eventually Shredder shows up again and he has to tell the turtles about his past with him. The turtles are enraged obviously, and during the story they will struggle to control that rage, especially Raph.

Splinter taught the turtles ninjutsu as a form of bonding and letting them experience at least a part of their culture.

Fun fact: the turtles only wear their masks in ninja mode. In everyday life they don't feel the need to wear them.

I was listening to Pink Floyd on the way home and couldn’t help that this Rafa/juanki energy today was a bit like Waters/Gilmour during Live8 😂😂
