[someredfox]

what r yalls lgbt hcs for the mm turtles.... (its for science)

[angelpuns]

I digitized the sketches cause I have been thinking about these guys literally all day-

Also idk what type of turtle Donnie is yet??? Idk I haven't decided. Since Raph and Mikey are both Map turtles maybe he could be a slider of some kind.

also Leo really likes star motifs cause he's sweet and he gave them all a little star keychain so they could all match ( sobbing actually I'm crying over this rn )

Anyway I have lots and lots of comics planned, but they're primarily sad. I'll work on getting some /pos ideas down but we'll see. This IS all about examining my own childhood after all lmao

Anyway here's some things about these guys to start off with ( I will happily ramble about them later as well )

Leo:

-Blunt, but has trained himself to be less so ( its the heavily masked autism )

-love Galaxy Adventures and secretly writes fanfic for it.

-transmasc! Also likes neopronouns but unsure about them

-likes plants, does not have a green thumb

( there is a lot more about him cause he's just me, but uhhh I'm trying to only put the /pos things for now )

Mikey:

-art!!! He's very good at it!!! really likes horror art!!

-favorite brother of all the brothers.

-very messy, Leo gets onto him for it a LOT

-new hobby every week

-undiagnosed audhd baby

Raph:

-also an artist, but hates that he's not as good as Mikey ( :( )

-likes plants even more than Leo, but actually has a green thumb

-L O U D

-somehow a morning person???

-Will wear anything. Not really into any particular style, but likes to wear things that piss Leo off ( ripped jeans mostly )

-likes to piss Leo off

Donnie:

( he's the least figured out tbh)

-IT guy fr fr

-love Galaxy Adventures just as much as Leo, but they fight over who likes it more

-also v blunt but does not hide it.

-v good at tech stuff!

-he cooks for everyone!!

So yeah those are the bare bones of this iteration , I'm not gonna start posting comics for it til after Kid Leo Au but just know that I will be thinking about them <33

Miscellaneous headcanons:

Cuddling with Quackity helps Wilbur sleep.

When Dream was little, he used to draw his smile (TM) on stuff to “claim it”. Like, toys and shit like that.

The Syndicate gave each other hair styling tips.

The reason Quackity always wears a beanie is to cover his ears. For trauma reasons.

Tommy’s cardigan is made of Friend’s wool.

Sometimes Fundy, Foolish, and Sam spend the night at Las Nevadas, so they all have their own rooms there.

When Purpled winks, he winks both eyes on one side.

Karl has a bunch of those goofy ahh socks with like, fruit on them. You know want I’m talking about.

Dream’s birth name is Clay but he changed once more people started arriving in the SMP.

Techno plays violin and is teaching Ranboo.

Dream’s walking speed is the same as the speed walking of everyone else.

Wilbur taught Quackity how to play guitar.

Sam just saw George and Quackity all alone on the street and just adopted them.

Niki taught Tommy how to sew after Exile.

Dream has retractable fingernail claws because of his limited shapeshifting abilities.

Sally and Milo are besties.

That’s it. I hope you like em :3

[cutielights]

heyaa!! I read your Donnie with a transmasc reader and as also a transmasc I loved it :DD, so if it's not an issue can I request the same but for the rest of the turtles, btw I love your writing and your aesthetic, hope you have a nice day <33

Mhm! Absolutely <3

Tw: Dysphoria comfort, Leo fist fighting unsupportive family members

Rise! Boys x Transmasc Reader

Leo

Goes clothes shopping with you

You’re gonna look so cool

Defends your identity with his life

He’s not above fist fighting a few unsupportive family members

Honestly these turtles only really get April and the internet to tell them about life outside the sewers, so it doesn’t particularly phase him

You didn’t have to come out to him, or, if you did anyway, it was a very short and sweet exchange

Probably the best with injections other than Donnie for hormonal related things

Helps out a lot, just in general

Helps you hang up the flag in your room if it’s safe to do so

He is THE safe space

Raph

Reminds you to take off the binder if you’re short of breath or going to sleep

Reminds you that you’re perfect

“I don’t exactly feel perfect, Raph.”

“Then let me help you feel perfect.”

Gentle touches for comfort

Perfectly accepting, even if he didn’t know what you were talking about at first

You had to explain it

“Oh.”

*Cautiously waiting for a response*

“Do you need help with your uh, anything?”

Donnie

I’ve already done this!

Mikey

Helps you with any sort dysphoria, sesh’s with Dr. Feelings are common for general relationship things, but also dysphoria if you have any

Social dysphoria?

He’s already next to you

Physical dysphoria?

He’s already kissing you

Doesn’t matter how mild or severe it may be, he’s still there

Helps out with any hormone sprays or injections you may use, but is nervous about doing them himself, so he’s there for moral support

One time you fainted because you forgot to take off your binder, Mikey was there to catch you PLEASE REMEMBER TO NOT SLEEP IN BINDERS AND TAKE THEM OFF IF YOU FEEL DIZZY OR NAUSEOUS, IT IS OKAY IF THEY DON’T GO COMPLETELY FLAT, BUY THE CORRECT SIZE DON’T SIZE DOWN FOR BINDERS

Paints little flags on various things of his, and yours with permission ofc

Generally supportive and accepting! Wouldn’t bother him why would it?

Mikey was by far the easiest to write for this but that’s probably because he’s my favourite <3

[beannary]

I assumed you meant Donnie was transmasc in the little Princess au because of your Nettie au. He produces eggs in that au so I thought you meant that he didn’t know he was afab until that started happening. They’re different aus so I know they could just be different takes on the character, that’s just what I assumed that’s what you meant with pride post

No it totally makes sense that you would assume that! I haven’t been super clear on Donnie’s gender presentation in either of my aus in relation to his assigned gender at birth

Donnie in TLP is biologically male as in he has ZZ sex chromosomes and was assigned male at birth or I guess at adoption and by adoption I mean stealing. At this moment Donnie identifies as a man or I guess a boy because he is 14 and not an adult, but after getting to know Raph and questioning his gender identity he will come to realize that he does not actually identify as a man.

Donnie in my Nettie au is intersex and was assigned male at birth! I am unsure what chromosomes they would have but they started out as biologically female with ZW chromosomes but the mutation with Splinter’s DNA changed up his chromosomes and ended up with Donnie being intersex. Donnie in this au is nonbinary and uses they/he pronouns though that is something I only recently decided so in past posts I was only referring to them with he/him pronouns.

Also Nettie is also intersex because she is Donnie’s clone!

I hope this clears stuff up!

[pasteilian]

Is Raph as weirdly overprotective of Donnie and Mikey as he is with Leo? cuz otherwise, it kinda feels a little weird to me that he treats his only AFAB brother so differently.

Like, as someone who’s AFAB+transmasc myself, my dad still treats me *very* differently when it comes to stuff like dating or staying out late compared to my little brother, even though I’m literally OLDER than him by 5 years + a legal adult. he’s accepted that I’m his son but I feel like that bias towards my “sex” still shows a lot. idk it just seems like Raph acts very similarly and it kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth? except Raph somehow infantilizes Leo even more ??? ahdhhehdje

(no hate to you or the yotd au, I genuinely love this story so much and your art is divine!! I’ve just been hesitant to ask about this for a while and kinda just decided to go for it, it’s been throwing me off a bit lol)

I'm not trying to be mean, but I think you're just projecting a little bit.

Raph doesn’t care that Leo is AFAB. None of the brothers have a true understanding of gender and sex—he literally just sees Leo as his brother. The reason he’s stricter and more overprotective of him is that Leo is constantly putting himself in unreasonable danger and refuses to heed Raph's warnings about staying away from Usagi. Although in the AU, Raph is wrong for how he constantly looks down on Leo, it never came from Leo being AFAB. Raph isn’t as protective of his other brothers because they actually listen when he warns them about something.

Ok that’s all bye bye

No matter what you do or say he'll always stick with you <3

don't click see more to see the tags. i had a lil too much time on my hands-

[plum-pitt]

Holy shit. I just realized i’ve never even yapped about my headcanons for the rise guys. This is a criminal offense on my part! Must be rectified immediately!!

Disclaimer: Don’t think there’s a lot of hot takes here, but feel free to disagree and talk about your own interpretations if you’d like!! Headcanon is fun and i love discussing it. it’s all fictional and since the text doesn’t give us much concrete shit on these topics we’re all free to make our own, equally valid readings of it. :3

Leo- Transmasc He/Him, gay as fuck who here could’ve guessed, ADHD haver, definitely smokes weed. Fluent in spanish from watching telenovellas as a child. Wants to be a flirty whore/aff so fucking bad but whenever he sees someone he’s legitimately attracted to any charisma he might’ve had gets thrown out the window and into a woodchipper in favor of helpless stuttering. His portalling mishaps early in the series have led him to silly sidequests all over the world that he just,,,, doesn’t really talk about. This won’t come up until they’ll end up in some random ass place and find out just how well travelled and connected he actually is. He’s also got a job at Hueso’s for fun and extra cash to fund his addiction to pot and ordering stupid shit he doesn’t need online. He’s a server, wears rollerskates to “move faster” on the job, just ends up running into shit more often than not. Great with the kids tho, performs little sleight of hand magic tricks and tells jokes to make them happy, never had a fussy kid he couldn’t calm down in a snap. Calls himself Hueso’s nephew and nepotism hire, ignoring the fact that he’s actually a decently competent and well liked employee outside of the several skating related accidents. Shell was cracked badly in the invasion, when they sealed it up, he asked Mikey to paint the healed cracks gold, mimicking the japanese practice of Kintsugi.

Mikey- Definitely queer but not into labels ;3 He/Him is what he defaults to, but any pronouns work for them. Semi fluent in italian, don’t ask me why, just feels right, let chef boy speak italian dammit. One of those mfs on instagram who insists on posting pictures of the food he makes, except his actually looks good and not painfully mediocre so they get a pass. Has been tagging walls in hard to reach spots all over the city for years at this point, after Raph confronted her abt it, fearing that he’d get caught someday, he told him that he’d stop. Yeah, that was a lie he kept doing it, just sneakier now. Makes money off of art commissions, still broke as hell tho cuz he spends it all on bougie ass ingredients and art supplies. Post canon definitely delved more into mystics and spirituality, trains with draxum but also took up meditation in his free time. Fucks with weed and the occasional psychedelic when working on art, says it helps get the creative juices flowing. Considering asking donnie to forge some documents for him so he can attend college online and earn a psych degree. His speech patterns flip on a dime between vague, wise fortune cookie therapist man and typical gen-z slang so abruptly it gives anyone not already familiar with him total whiplash.

Donnie- NonBinary They/He Bisexual but i can’t decide if they’re the kind that can’t stop pulling or can’t pull to save his life. Fluent in several languages, ASL, French, Russian, Japanese. Actually one of their few acedemic endeavors that he doesn’t typically show off and gloat about, makes it all the scarier when his siblings hear him muttering vaguely threatening sounding shit in russian when shit doesn’t go their way. Has tried most substances for “research purposes”, ultimately decided he doesn’t like the feeling of their big ol brain being hindered under the influence, this has a few exceptions tho, mainly when it’s with Leo. Has John Bishops IP address and threatens to drop it on 4chan to “see what happens” every time he tries messing with their family or stopping him from “borrowing” material resources from the US government. Almost considered bs-ing his way into college before they used a cloaking broach to shadow april at school for like 2 days. It was there they learned that the education system fucking sucks and he probably knows more than most professors about his topics of interest anyway. Does freelance work for cash, as far as their brothers know they’re not building and selling anything dangerous (which is code for probably arming both sides in a far away military conflict with deathrays). Spends his free time cyber bullying children on roblox and twitter, and caring for their greenhouse of plants that all have names. (yes he grows weed. his GeniusGrown™️ zaza is known far and wide for its consistently excellent quality. and no, Leo does not get a family discount. Mikey does tho.)

Raph- Someone please send the big man some help😭 he/him(?) Definitely queer in some way shape or form but refuses to confront any identity crisis because he’s just so busy keeping his dumb ass siblings outta shit. Tried weed once and will never touch a substance again, makes his anxiety spike real bad when he doesn’t feel in full control of himself. Runs around with Cassandra and sometimes Jr to do vigilante justice on the side of he and his siblings’ usual patrols. Living garbage disposal and i mean that quite literally. He has and will eat anything, rocks, toys, silverware, sometimes on accident, sometimes on a dare, and sometimes just because he wants to. He grew up gnawing on the legs of furniture, rusty sewer pipes, really any nonliving thing that he could fit his choppers around (unlike donnie who just bit any living creature within a 5 mile radius of his location). Since the invasion made Leo step up as leader Raph has been able to step back a little bit and not have everything in a chokehold, he has a mini crisis about his place in the family and his sense of identity without being a leader. Tries to hide how much it’s affecting him but ofc, living with mikey, this does not last and his ass FINALLY gets chucked (very lovingly) into therapy. Loves to knit, definitely in some kind of old lady facebook group centered around it (he has so much nursing home gossip floating around in his brain hehe)

Alright that’s all for the teetlez. lmk if yall wanna hear about my thoughts on the rest of the main cast, or some of the side cast! Can’t promise i’ll have this much to say on all of em but i’ve definitely got thoughts lol. I might even make a post diving into different character dynamics. idk tho, my fingies are tired typing all that shit😭

Anyway i hope u enjoyed my ramblings, have a lovely day :3

[indiegowrites]

i'm asking between 28-31 in that ask game I WANNA KNOWWW

28.) What is one thing you would like to see explored more in TMNT art/fics?

APRIL O'NEIL.

So often April just gets completely sidelined—or, if she is involved, it's to a much lesser extent than the main four are. I feel like a lot of people forget that April is, for all intents and purposes—outside of 2012—their sister. She has as much a role in their family dynamic as the guys do.

Let's look at Rise, which is the iteration where she has the biggest role as an active family member IMO. In the final episode alone, she's all but verbally confirmed to be a member of the Hamato clan.

For instance, look at the usage of "it's us" here—they are a group. You either take all of them, or you get none of them.

Note the fact that her sequence in the battle against Shredder takes place in the very middle, between Raph and Mikey's sequences. Moreso, think about the way she appears from behind Raph's copy. It's a move that's VERY reminiscent of what Raph just previously did with Leo hardly 15 seconds prior.

She then has an entire battle sequence against him, which is, by the way, SO sick. This little move she and Karai do is topped only by Leo and Raph's teleport segment.

She's with the entire family (plus Casey, my beloved!!!!!!!) when they launch their final attack on him!!!!

Hell, SHE'S the one who holds the spear with Karai! You know, the guys biological great-great-great however many greats grandmother?

I could talk for HOURS about April's connection with Karai, the guys, and the Hamato clan in general, and its usage of cementing her role as their sister in all but blood—but this is only the first question and I've already rambled for too long HAHAHA.

I want more April! Outside of Rise, inside of Rise, wherever, however, I don't care. Give me more April O'Neil. Stop sidelining her. She is a Hamato, just as much as the guys are.

29.) What is one headcanon that you have?

I see a lot of transfem 2012!Leo passed around, and I genuinely do subscribe to that—but my main headcanon is that 2012!Donnie is also genderqueer (whether that be transfem, nonbinary, or whatever else). Their relationship with April and their whole dynamic takes on an entirely different light when you view it through that lense, and becomes a lot more fascinating than...whatever is going on in canon.

(Sidebar, but Rise!Leo is transmasc. That's not even a headcanon, I fully believe that to be a genuine part of his character.)

30.) What is one common headcanon that you reject?

Not really rejecting, per se, as I believe that any headcanon can be true if you do enough mental gymnastics (#transfem12!donnie WOOOO), but my own take on Rise!Leo's sexuality is a lot more ambiguous than I know a lot of people go for. He's a pretty large kin of mine, and my own sexuality is hardly cut and dry (all I know is that I am queer, and that I don't like putting labels on myself beyond that), so I perceive him kind of in the same boat HAHAHA.

I don't know if this really counts, however, as Rise Leo being queer is hardly a headcanon. That's just...canon. Subtext canon, but canon all the same LMAOOO

Also. Again. That is a trans man. Rise!Leo is transmasculine. I will die on this hill. Argue with the wall.

31.) What is one piece of TMNT canon that you dislike/ignore?

I don't know that I really have any canon that I ignore, to be honest. I think that every TMNT canon is enjoyable in its own way, and that includes the more...let's go with controversial media, like the Bayverse, or Next Mutation,

There are some comics that I just couldn't really get into, but that's more of an ADHD thing than an active dislike.

[nordidia]

tmnt sexuality/gender headcanons are so fun for me because personally I'm just like 'yeah they can be transfem or transmasc or a boygirl or agender but every single one of them has to be rampantly homosexual or ace, NO exceptions'

I HAVE like my own set of hcs for the other boys but with raph its literally like. transfem? definitely. agender? oh yeah. cis? absolutely. gay? for sure. straight? 100%. bi? yes he is.

anything is just so correct and thats what makes him so fun to headcanon bc he's just SO

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 1

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

CANONICITY LEVELS-

SHEIK: Unsure how to categorize. Subtext/ Coded(?), OOPS! Accidental Trans Man RAPHAEL: Because I Said So

MEDIA?

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (as well as the Smash series), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

SHEIK PROPAGANDA-

Listen, Zelda very easily could've been disguised as a female Sheikah, but instead was a male one. Like listen to me Zelda is very clearly a girl before Link goes to sleep but next time we see her he's been on T for seven years and the reason he's wearing a mask is probably to hide his awkward teenage stubble. His shoulders are broader and he has visible muscles and I REFUSE to believe that it was all just a disguise (he transforms back into Zelda at the end of the game, who has none of this, so clearly she's the real disguise here)

After Ganon came and everything went to shit Zelda decided that she would need to fend for herself and naturally, chose to present as a guy named Sheik for the next 7 years of their life just. the fact that zelda's choice of disguise and secret identity happened to be that of a boy. RAPH PROPAGANDA- Angry short king whom I love and adore!!! He and his space lizard girlfriend Mona Lisa have such T4T vibes.

Hello hello. I'm Rubes, and a secondary name would be Snirkish. I'm transmasc and I go by he/they pronouns(heavy on the he/him). I'm 18 and I love all things TMNT.

[lisztomaniac-mp3]

im here to talk about how my tmnt au's turtles and ppl and rats express their gender cuz i can

donnie is like so super nonbinary agender and he genuinely doesn't care what pronouns you use for him, but usually they put their pronouns as he/they/she. theyre also autistic and that's relevant because she doesn't really prioritize the way her clothes look so much as the way they feel. their wardrobe is pretty much just joggers and biking shorts, a few jackets, a few comfy skirts, and a few threadbare shirts that casey just so happened to lose 🧐🏳️‍🌈⁉️

leo is transfem, she still goes by leonardo and she tends to be pretty androgynous in casual settings, although she does tie her mask in a bow and she does dress up sometimes- casey and april LOVE to do her makeup although usually it's just eyeliner lol

raph is genderfluid and bigender but in general is the most stereotypically masculine- he doesn't wear a lot of feminine stuff, it's just not his thing, but sometimes she will tie her mask tails up into a bow as a little way to signal that shes feeling feminine. he wears shirts more than any of the other turtles, and it's usually some niche rock/metal band tee that gets all ripped up in the back because of his little snapper spikes

mikey is the resident he/they, but he secretly (and eventually not so secretly) like being referred to by neopronouns (which i may or may not list later) and donnie is the og neopronouner in the household (ze/zir) mikeys clothes are too colourful to be sifted into masculine and feminine stuff and they usually have neon joggers on. they also like to make kandi btw tehehehe

april is the only cisgender person here, but she's not feminine by any standards, and her peak gender expression is androgynous blob

casey jones is intersex transmasc because i never see enough intersex rep and his parents were very supportive of his transition and he's able to get her yayayyay!! he dresses like a slutty gay boy greaser but don't we all? imagine a teenage boy wearing what 87 casey wears lol. he has little a cups and literally never wears a bra or a binder he's like peak free the nipple and we love him for that- he basically just challenges the patriarchy's idea of gender and i love him he's so me
