I miss my boy.

[Image description 1: TD!AU Leo/Trainee sitting down and playing with a magenta and green switch console, smiling with his tongue sticking out. They're wearing a cropped tank top with black trim, checkered shorts, and white socks. They're a little beat up with bandage wraps and scrapes on their arms, cotton pad on their cheek, and adhesive bandages on his knees. /End ID]

[Image description 2: Trainee smiling and leaning against the background image of a waves at a shoreline. They're in beachwear. A black cropped tank-top with red trim branded with a Foot Clan logo, and black shorts under with a red swim-suit cover skirt with a white tie and white diamond shapes as a pattern. /End ID]

I got bored during work and decided for some reason that TD!Leo/Trainee turned into a baby

non-canon, he didn't actually have a shell crack at this age, nor does he canonically turn into a small baby

And that devolved into the other Sep AU Leos (specifically One from @dianagj-art's SLAU and Red from @red-rover-au's RR!AU) trying to get little Trainee to hold a knife

They eventually managed to get him to hold the knife on his own :)

Here is the hastily done finger-on-phone sketch I did during my work break that lead to this

ft. @raymustardd's TN!Leo/Green being the only one not wanting to give the tot a knife

3 Part Sep Leo Venn Diagram: Soupless Trio Edition

Tentative Devotee (eating a sandwich) - Me

SLAU (mask with stripes) - @dianagj-art

The Night (blue mask) - @y0unginhumans

**the "soupless" part is an inside joke, don't worry about what it is

[s0fti3w1tch]

I'll answer more asks tomorrow (again, I'm fine with the amount and I'm fine with more!)— But before I was gonna sleep, my twin joked about Leo's ever changing scarf in this AU, so I quickly made this.

I'm only half joking when I say I'll never draw his scarf the same length between panels. But for when it matters, here's a ref for the scarf

the length when draped over his shell normally

the scarf wrapped around so if ya don't want it swooshing around

ref for the ends of the scarf

Since current unexpected circumstances leave me to delay the main TD!AU comic, I'll have a little mini comic to make up for it. :>

^^^Here, have context :) Post-Shredder Red Rover + Tentative Devotee Crossover AU angst time

Further background info:

Out of all the other Sep!AU Leos, Red got along with Trainee the best. They bonded over being trained by the Foot Clan and also being able to clock each other's emotional dishonesty immediately.

After the events of RR's Shredder, Trainee goes to visit Red because he heard what happened to his shell.

At this point in time, Trainee's still under the Foot Clan and unaware of his connection to the Hamatos.

Red, hurt, family betrayed by the Foot Clan, half-bleeding-out in a bathtub— He feels pathetic again.

And now, this other him, this Leo raised under the clan he's been really fucked over by— this Leo standing in front of him— has the audacity to smile at him and ask if he could help.

Red doesn't care about moral high grounds. Nor about being correct.

As Red Rover's author puts it: "He just wants to hurt someone because he's hurt, and it makes him feel stronger"

And so, Trainee, who's been patient with Red and genuinely does care about him? He takes his word. He leaves.

(or LM Leo takes Trainee out of the room first— but that's a whole different hypothetical AU crossover thing that we're not gonna touch on yet because this is all hypothetical AU within various AUs— ANYWAYS!)

It sounds weird when you shout it without context like that, guys 😭
