#tmnt 1987 AU

[somewildbabe]

so about that 1987 au… please info dump

ITS YOU HELLO THANKS FORT HE ASK HEHE!!

MKAY FINE-

So basically it takes place in the 1987 show, and its kinda a Chef Mikey au, but that's like mega basic so...

He has an entire restaurant! Food A La Dude. (fun fact: it originated from a 1987 episode where Splinter told the turtles to find their own path. They all got jobs but Mikey had a TV cooking show! Food a La dude!)

its not a fun fact its a lore fact lmao

So Angelo owns a restaurant that's family-owned. He's not only the manager and owner, but the main chef, actually... the ONLY chef, so its slowly stressing him out. Kinda turning him crazy.

Raph, Leo and Donnie all are employees! Their all waiters.

And of course, Casey is the regular who always asks to have Raph as his server. Lots of romance and flirting is driving Raph off the rails, causing him to have his focus off of work and instead on Casey. It all ends up hurting Angelo, making him more stressed and upset because its his dream, but it isn't his brothers. (AKA RASEY)

Leosagi is present but I an still trying to come up with a plot line.

Same with Donnie

And Master Splinter is also a regular. Other then that I'm not sure what else to say, sorry for taking so long ahshshs

thanks for the ask!!! <333

I love them dearly your honour

I finished my masterpost! I added all the tag links and everything! Yaaay. I’ve been adding to and editing my 1987 personal designs for a while now, though I think I’ve gotten to a point where I can make reference sheets for em without worrying about changing them 3 seconds later (at least, not by much). That said, I forgot Leonardo’s scarf in this sketch page :(

P.S. the top left text is a note I randomly came up with and needed to write down, it says ‘Mikey cut this to prove a point, so Raph decided to keep it in spite. Now he (Raph) loves it (though he won’t admit it)’

*throws this au at you really quickly and runs away really quickly*

Can someone please help me think of a name for this au?

Silly little Oz AU

I wanted to create something silly for Spooky Season, so I did.

(Click for better quality)

Leonardo is not Dorothy. The idea is that this would be like an actual episode of the show; he'd get Wizard of Oz'd into, well, Oz, and the episode would play out like an abridged and heavily toned down version of the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). Which in turn means that the others are not the other three Turtles, either. They are, however, styled after and voiced by the other three. So, instead of saying something like "Donatello", I'll either use "Donatello-as-the-Tin-Woodman" or simply "the Tin Woodman" (which of course also applies to the other two).

The idea of the Scarecrow, the most intelligent character in the main cast in the book, speaking like Michelangelo does in the show was too funny not to implement!

I imagine the dialogue in the scene where Leonardo and Kiki meet him would go something akin to:

“I'm going to the Emerald City to find the wizard to help me back to New York.” “You suppose that wizard dude could give me some brains?" "Yeah, I'm sure he can!" "Mondo tubuloso!”

Not sure if I want Leonardo to be outed as knowing the fact that the wizard is a fraud, though...

I put Leonardo in the silver shoes from the book, since I heavily doubt anyone would've cared for fighting MGM for the rights to use the ruby slippers. On Discord while sketching, we did joke that I could put him in silver Birkenstocks or ruby Crocs. Sadly, Crocs weren't invented until 2002 😔

I debated a lot who to cast who as. Leonardo in the role of Dorothy and Raphael as the Cowardly Lion were easy enough, but which one of the other two brothers to cast as the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman? Both Michelangelo and Donatello work for either, since the book characters' main traits are intelligence and empathy respectively, but I finally settled on the casting that I did. Like mentioned above, the Scarecrow with Michelangelo's speech pattern is absolutely hilarious, but I don't think that Donatello-as-the-Tin-Woodman's hilarity should be understated, either; especially since his canon name when he was human (turtle?) was Nick Chopper, which does fit Donatello's general strategy of repairing things in the TV show by hitting or kicking machines strangely well.

While sketching, I also joked that Raphael-as-the-Cowardly-Lion looks like Raphael just finished a Cats the musical rehearsal but hadn't told anyone and just got busted sneaking back into the Lair. I also accidentally coloured him piss yellow when I coloured the flats, which I suppose is fair. Yellow is actually a colour associated with cowardice (even though the Lion wasn't actually a coward at all, but we'll set that aside).

Speaking of colouring mishaps, when colouring the Tin Woodman's base colour, I decided to look up images of tin to find a good rough match. Well, it then hit me to double check whether tin actually does rust or not. And guess what, it doesn't. Thus, I got around the problem by making his bolts, screws and joints made of iron instead. He has to rust somehow; you cannot have a Wizard of Oz "adaptation" without [Dorothy] and the Scarecrow oiling him upon meeting him.

The Toto situation was a tricky one, since TMNT isn't really known for its prevalence of dogs. The only actual noteworthy canine characters I can think of in any iteration are Rahzar and Dogpound, and as funny as it would've been for me to cast Rahzar as Toto, truth be told I had honestly forgotten him and Tokka even existed in the cartoon. I briefly considered having April be Toto (somehow), but I refused to entertain that idea even more than I already had. Instead, I got around the Toto problem by just drawing a dog (here a Scottish terrier, like how I pictured Toto in my head) and then renaming it. And thus, Kiki! And I love her.

Also, fun fact, the Scarecrow actually wore blue in the book!

This was originally supposed to be an artistic depiction of one of @bluepeachstudios’ anon asks, but I may or may not have gone and done my own thing instead.

May I present to you:

This idiot

If you spotted any misspelt words or incorrect dates: you didn’t*.

While drawing him, I started thinking up some lore.

I have some ideas about rewriting the season two Eye of Sarnath arc, and one aspect of the rewrite would be to change up the three fragments’ abilities (of course!). Said fragments would be:

The first fragment is too iconic to change. It’s the size changing one seen in The Incredible Shrinking Turtles, except instead of only shrinking objects and reversing the effects, the wielder can change objects to any size they wish.

The second fragment can switch any object’s traits. The Turtles get hit and switch bodies with each other, thrice, before the effect is reversed. (This choice definitely wasn’t made only because I find imagining this as an actual episode absolutely hilarious. Bless the VAs’ souls lmao)

The third fragment can, as you probably guessed it, combine objects’ attributes. The Turtles get fused into one being, Botticelli (named by none other than Splinter himself).

Honestly, if someone were to ask who Botticelli’s voice claim would be, I’d say Townsend Coleman. I can’t help it!

Tcesters go die

GUESS WHAT JUST ARRIVED BABYYYYY

LOOK AT THEM RAHHHHHHH

[sweeneydino]

Slime Attack! Raph Ver.

Your favorite turtles are waiting for their slimes 🐢

Gonna slime info dump a little below

Gave big ol' Rise Raph a tabby slime because they are very friendly and love to boop – they are literal slime cats – and idk about you, but I think rise raph deserves the cuddles. And they come with the added bonus of their plorts being a high commodity for athletes, with only a little drawback. If you know, you know.

Since 2012 Raphael has Chompy, whose a fire turtle basically, the fire slime seemed a good fit. They are rather affectionate but also require a hot place to stay, i.e an ash trough and they BURN. Just burn some trash and boom, food for the firecracker. Their plorts would be a nice snack for chompy, plus a cuddle buddy.

The affectionate part is only because these little shits keep jumping on and following me on the range, and while I do love them, they do tend to get themselves killed.

2003 Raph got the Saber slime, as someone– yknow who you are– suggested! They are similar to the tabby slime as they are cat-like, but unlike them, these guys are food possessive. And thought to be extinct, but that's not important. They will roar, scaring any other slimes, just to get food. Or to just announce their arrival. These guys parkour, too, so now Mikey's got a roadblock.

2003 Donnie might be kind of sad he didn't get one but there's always another chance.

And finally, 1987 Raph with the mischievous ringtail slime!

...do I have to explain?

These fellas bring my carrot farm every ounce of shame as they stare with those shifty eyes back at me, and all I can do is continue feeding them over... and over... and over again...

Oh, and they turn to stone too, but nothing little money can't fix.

Mikey da guy

Teenage Mutant Ninja... Therapy Group?!

FINALLY felt like reposting these 🫶🫶

What is TMNTherapy Group about?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Therapy Group, or simply abbreviated to TMNTherapy Group or TMNT Group, is a fun little comic featuring your favorite turtles from all current running cartoon iterations joining together to, well... Get therapy! Or at least, that's what the turtles from the 1987 universe say. In OOC terms, yes, this is basically a crossover au.

Currently, the AU has 5 introduction comics (including this one), 1 filler comic and many more fun and angsty comics to come! Join the '87 verse turtles as they try their best to unite these 3 VERY different turtle iterations with each other! It's gonna be an... Interesting ride, to say the least. Stay tuned!

DO NOTE THAT :

This AU is strictly for fun and is only meant to explore the dynamic of each turtle iterations with each other! Nothing more, nothing less, just all 4 generations of turtles either venting to each other or having fun. This disclaimer will be reposted with every TMNT Group comic.

Although I try my best to keep the turtles close to canon, I hope you don't take this AU seriously! This is 100% self indulgent while also trying to delve into the inner mechanisms of a traumatized teenage turtle. None of this is meant to be reflective of real life scenarios, anything of the latter is completely unintentional.

You might've notice a watermark in the first 3 panels, and I can assure you that that is me; my old user! I unfortunately do not have the original files to these, nor do I have the time to redraw these to my current style

To add to that, this prequel comic specifically was drawn last year on August 27th. Weird times!

Seeing as Instagram is my main platform, you'll have to keep in mind that this format was made with the square format in mind. Stick with me here hehe :^))

Next up: TMNTherapy Group : Welcome Leonardo >>>

Rottmnt, 2012, 1987, 2003, Bayverse, and Mirage - Tmnt Height Chart

Rottmnt Mikey is the shortest and I love that so much

also 2003 Donnie and 2012 being the same height caught me off guard lol.

I did so much googling to find all their heights, hell I probably got some wrong but tbh I don't care. and also these are the only versions I could find heights for, I tried to find the Mutant Mayhem babys heights but I couldn't find anything.

I thought about drawing over the dumb silhouette with their canon design but I'm tired so someone else can do it ig.

anyway hope you crossover people enjoy 👍🏽

[bastiion]

tmnt hidden city but the hidden city is undertale i rest my case.

[penpenpencil]

I honestly had no idea that the TMayNT thing, was actually a thing. And I totally forgot that MerMay existed (even though I do it like every year-)

So I compromised and drew some turtles playing in the water :D
