TMNT 2012: Actor AU

An AU where TMNT 2012 is a literal TV show and everyone are just actors on a set.

Here’s what goes on behind the scenes:

Raph and Mona Lisa fell in love on set filming the show and became a couple during filming. When filming season 4, Raph developed an actual crush on his costar, so after filming season 4, he asked her out and she accepted, admitting that she fell for him too while filming their scenes together. They are dating in both the show and real life, and even after the show ended they're still going strong.

Karai is a famous child actor. She's been acting since she was a little girl.

Splinter and Shredder are long time friends and always have fun on set together, they’ve been doing movies/shows together since they were young men so they consider each other brothers 

This is April’s first big role in a show, she was always a background character in her other jobs before she got her big break

Mikey likes pranking people on set, this infuriates the crew

Raph likes to tease people when they screw up their lines or takes, but god forbid you laugh at Raph if he messes up his lines 

April and Donnie are besties on set, not romantic, but they enjoy pretending to be a couple in the show: “he/she’s the best fake boyfriend/girlfriend I’ve ever had!”

Leo and Karai are uncomfortable with the relationship their characters have and constantly argue with the writers to fix it or change it 

Slash originally audition for Raphael’s role, he didn’t get the part, but the director liked him so much that he created a character just for him so he could be on the show

Karai knew Shinigami outside of the show (they worked on another show together years prior). When the director wanted to add a new character in season 4, Karai recommended her friend for the part, so Shini got the roll and was casted as Karai’s second in command

Leatherhead started by doing community theater, so being on a tv set was a big change for him

Casey keeps hitting on his female co stars 

Karai and Mona Lisa do not get along on set

Leo's voice change was written into the show because of an actual injury that happened to him before they began filming season 3

The plot twist of Irma being a robot really pissed off Irma (she and the director don’t get along and he did that twist out of spite), eventually she was able to find a loophole and return to the show to play Rook.

Leo has a long term girlfriend outside of the show, it’s Lotus Blossom ;)

Casey always shows up late and keeps on being threatened by the director that he’ll get fired (he knows he won’t be fired) 

Mikey and Renet are long time co stars, starring together in other shows from the past (reference to their VAs Greg Cipes and Ashley Johnson) 

Tang Shen is a tv star legend and her appearance on the show was as a guest star

Tiger Claw is a new popular action movie star. Splinter and Shredder are his idols that he grew up watching. 

Timothy got fired from the set for accidentally destroying filming equipment. That’s why he never came back

Using the turtles VA names as all their real names for the actor au but also mixing in others actors & actresses personalities with it is the most genius thing I could think of oh my fuckin god.

[skylerskyhigh]

My genuine reaction to this

I has to resist screaming/stimming at work this is AMAZING!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AAAAAAAAA!!!!

B.E.A.S.T but make it Actor Au.

@skylerskyhigh Thank you for giving these ideas!

[kaysdenofchaos]

Snort sharing a sketch from the actor au I haven’t posted yet bc I find it too funny to not share

[indieyuugure]

*my headcanon for that recent post was that wasn’t in the script, the turtles really did have to pee and it was so funny they just kept it in lol

seriously, though, HYPED for the final arc. Gonna be DOPE!🤩

OMG YES!!!

Ad-lib Bathroom Brake!

I thought it’d also make sense if the pink wash over the sky and lightning in the background were part of the special effects :]

I like making these too much🤣

[ghoulz-n-goblinz]

okay yknow what random idea hi ROTTMNT fandom Donnie and Leo are both theatre kids but they are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Leo is an improv king but suckssss at memorizing scripts. He can make shit up on the fly like NO ONE's business planning while acting its all very natural very much a "go with the flow and have fun with it" vibe. Donnie is all for scripted scenes hes practiced down to the point where he could recite them in his sleep, but make him try improv and he shuts up like a clam. He is not a "go with the flow" guy he needs his SCRIPT PEOPLE. Theyre also both competitive as ALL hell and BOTH love the spotlight so in say a Human au theyd both be in a theatre club and just be. INTENSE rivals. Constantly trying to outdo themselves to beat the other. It can get super annoying but sometimes it just WORKS. ESPECIALLY when they work together its either a trainwreck or just absolutely PERFECT. They can be EXTREMELY in sync on stage. That is all. Ty

Can't sleep yet again, so here are 20 min doodles of an ROTTMNT actors au with behind the scene snaps set during season 3 ig (might or might not polish this lol)

[misteria247]

*Knocks on your window at 2AM* Psh, Gab!

Rob Paulson (aka 12 Donnie's VA) was the voice director for the Rise series. So in your actor Au, what if it's 12 Donnie who's the voice director of the Rise boys?

......OHMIGOSH MARIE YOU GALAXY BRAIN YOU

[builtlikeastickofcelery]

mmmmmm yummy actor au thoughts

[frogonamelon]

Casey Jones and Keno Reyes

So… since my tiny little fill in the space sketches of Casey and Keno left… a lot to be desired (at least for me and my standards), I decided to go more in depth on their designs first.

Casey is in his early to mid 20s… probably 23 or 24, younger than 2k3 but older than 2k12 or Rise. You probably noticed he looks quite different in this version and that is because he’s older and lives in a different time and place in Los Reyes. 

From a design perspective, I wanted to make him an ideal for the ‘California Myth’: the romanization of California- specifically southern CA- as a place where hot people surf all day and the sun shines all year round without a care in the world. He’s got the strong inverted triangle shape with defined muscles, facial hair, long hair pulled into a messy bun, and that one tank top (if you know you know). He’d probably be a gym rat and drink pizza port or modelo at a Board and Brew and go surfing or skating before work.

I wanted to pull in hints to his past (and more canon Casey) so I decided he’s done his own piercing (not the eyebrow or tongue that you can’t see), he has tattoos from his hockey team and a portrait of baby Angel with wings on his chest. He’s probably got some small diy ones on his fingers and a larger unfinished one on his back. He’s got a wallet chain and a prominent scar on his knee. 

While his silhouette isn’t very Casey, his color scheme has much more influence with 2k3’s complexion, dark blue/gray shorts, and a red tank top. As The Penalizer, his clothing is much more monochromatic.

Keno is, despite what most believe, older than Casey at roughly 28. Honestly, I don’t know much about Keno. As of designing him, I haven’t seen The Next Mutation but wanted to include another human character and he was a good fit with a lot for me to work with. He also fits the ‘carefree Californian’ stereotype at first glance in his style but most of the inspiration just came from what felt right for him. 

I wanted Keno to appear as a stable and staple figure in their little community by giving him square shapes. He wears a California hoodie because the red and white color scheme matched his original windbreaker (he probably owns this windbreaker but doesn’t need to wear it much). The Santa patterned pj pants is a personal anecdote as my family will get matching pjs every year and they’re the only pairs I own. His hair fluffing up around his headphones is also something that happens to me that I wanted to represent here.

His complexion is the same as in TNM with his jacket being predominantly white and gray with red stripes since he and Casey have the same color palette in their clothes, and since I gave him more focus on red, I wanted to emphasize blue with Keno. His pj pants are blue.

Hey, do you have any plans for Shinigami in this AU? After all, she and Karai ‘are’ canonically friends, and I bet Karai would at least want to keep an eye on her. Wouldn’t it be hilarious is Shinigami figured out that Karai was a changeling practically on day one, but kept it secret and considers her a friend anyway, but Karai thinks that she doesn’t know and considers her a friend deep down in her own way? Also, I find the mental image of Shinigami berating Karai for not including her in the rescue attempt hilarious, especially if Shinigami assumed that Karai DID know that she knew her secret.

Well firstly I have not actually. Uh. Seen any of the episodes with her hsvfhfj I love what I HAVE seen through the fandom but I was last caught up uhhhhhh around space arc?? It's. Been forever. My ninja turtle knowledge is primarily located in 2k3. Gods I need to find episodes online

BUT ALSO I did in fact consider her just a bit, and by that I mean, Karai doesn't... actually care about her. She was a fun friend to have but changelings don't make friends- they make contacts, and covers. Karai doesn't have friends. Just allies, people she thinks is useful, and people who can help her cement her human guise. Shinigami is pretty tolerable for a human though which is one helluva compliment for a changeling to give

Even when she LIKES humans she isn't thinking of them as friends, because every human is another tool. She doesn't even see the Hamatos as friends really, just useful guardians for Miwa who are funny and need some guidance.

She'll get better eventually. But she's only 16 years in the human world learning to Live Breathe and Exemplify subterfuge, and an untold number in the Darklands learning the most brutal survival tactics there are. She's still effectively in a really awful survival mode rn. Give her some time with the Hamatos to come out of that a bit and she'll start to actually Feel Things beyond "If I Fuck Up I Will Be Killed" and unending anxiety. She has no room for anything else

This is admittedly a BIT of a cop out, since I don't know much about Shinigami I don't wanna mess with her too much. But it's also true. I don't think a "fresh" changeling is capable of thinking of humans as companions because they're so focused on not dying or being killed for failing to fulfill their duties. Not to mention Karai is currently juggling three, four(????) different secret societies and identities and has definitely eaten people before. She has primo anxiety supreme. She has no time for an actual friendship

Tho, given some time with the Hamatos to come down from her survival mode, Karai probably starts to reevaluate her past human relationships. If she DID pick one to actually attempt Real Friendly Emotions with Shinigami would probably be it. Not that she really can, bcz by then she has no more human form, but she can look back and think stuff like "Ah yes, the friendship was fake but it was nice" and such

Maybe Shinigami hears Karai is missing and the Shredder is dead and she goes to investigate?? Karai, seeing her all "Oh FUCK it's the one tolerable human" and the Hamatos like "Oh wow she says tolerable?? Karai usually just rates humans on a scale of 'would I bother eating them to hide their corpse or would I just toss them in the Hudson', this girl must be pretty cool"

Please share any ideas you have for her tho, because Karai later on trying to awkwardly Actually Be Friendly rather than just putting on her human persona will be hilarious. It's like a method actor stepping out of their character and having no idea how to socialize when actually being themselves

Every single TMNT 2012 AU I have (so far):

Turtles In The Roaring 20s - In 1923, Splinter is the proud owner of the most popular underground jazz club in New York, with his four sons being the stars. However there’s family drama going on backstage.

Mission Failed - The Turtles and friends failed their 6 month mission to save the Earth from the Triceratons. 10 years later, the team as split up going their separate ways but are all still haunted by their biggest failure.

Mistress Millennium - I don’t really know if this counts as an AU, it’s just a “what if Renet became a villain?” story.

Salamandrian April AU - April gets captured by the Kraang as a child but it rescued by Sal Commander. To hide her from the Kraang, April grows up on Salamandria along side Mona Lisa where they train together and become like sisters.

Future AU - The Turtles and their friends are now all grown up. Some are married, some have kids of their own and others have successful careers/lives. The story follows their adulthood while also preparing the next generation of the Hamato Clan.

Princess Bride AU - When Kintaro is stuck in bed sick his friend Usagil decides to visit and read him a story about adventure, action, miracles, and true love between a turtle and a lizard.

Actor AU - It’s all a TV show in their world and everyone are just actors. Fun stuff happens behind the scenes when filming TMNT.

Medieval AU - Splinter is the King of the Hamato Kingdom. The Turtles and Miwa are the prince/princess of the kingdom. After Splinter mysteriously dies and Miwa missing, Leo must find a wife and prepare to become king within a year.

Mazes & Mutants - The roleplaying game is now real! A world of fantasy and adventure as the Turtles and friends travel the land, exploring and fighting evil beasts.

Teenage Mutant Monster Turtles - Everyone is a monster (Leo a mummy, Raph a vampire, Mikey a werewolf, Donnie Frankenstein’s Monster etc), hijinx ensue.

Robin Hood AU - Raphael and Slash are the iconic duo of Robin Hood and Little John, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, rebelling against the wick Sharif, Tiger Claw, and the greedy Prince Newtrailzer.

Human/High School AU - The title is self explanatory. Leo is class president and Mr Popular, Raph is a troublemaking jock, Donnie is a straight A student and tutors his classmates, and Mikey is a class clown.

Childhood AU - The Turtles and all their friends are kids having a big playdate together.

Greek Gods AU - Everyone is their own take on the Greek Gods, but with their own twists. (Ex: Splinter is Zeus but he is NOT a chatting scumbag)
