#tmnt no biting!

[sarahthewhat]

A little something I made for the @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion. The current theme is "campfire stories," so I thought I'd draw my and all my cabinmates' Mikeys roasting marshmallows together!

Cabin 7 represent! 🤘🏻 @hitwiththetmnt @curlyquest @actuallynobutwhynot @bluefeather-tmnt

Box turtles are the kinds of turtles who can fully fit into and close their shells along a single hinge in their plastron, which once closed is extremely hard to break into for any kind of predator especially if they cannot get a proper grip on the dome of the shell. Box turtles are also usually found in plains rather than ponds, and while they need water to survive and keep hydrated and can swim well, they’re not generally considered aquatic. Box turtles do have an interesting adaptation due to their more northern range of being able to survive freezing temperatures for a short period of time by slowing their metabolism outside of seasonal brumation (similar to hibernation, but more of a dormant state) if absolutely needed.

After watching TMNT ‘03 where the turtles meditate to save oxygen and prevent suffocation in a broken airlock, I thought, why not mix their ninja ability to conceal their body heat and breath and mix it with a turtles natural ability to brumate? Perhaps the brothers could enter into a completely dormant state on command with enough training in order to survive extreme situations or astral project in some form. Just a fun thought to tie their strong mystic powers with their physical abilities!

Although I use the term heterothermy to refer to them being able to vary between generating their own body heat while active and relying on environmental temperature while inactive, the intricacies of understanding thermal regulation in animals eludes me. If there’s a term that fits better, go ahead! I’m not a biologist so you probably know better lol

These are all my personal head cannons! You can use em’ as reference or not, whichever you prefer :)

Alligators hold their babies in their mouths so I thought,, why can’t an alligator snapping turtle like Raph do the same?

More of my silly little Bite Sized AU :3

so you should go vote to tie the gemini w/ @cupcakeslushie's feral!leo because i think they'd be friends, actually, and here's why-

the gems spend most of their time fighting in the nexus, slamming on the 'survival instinct' button, which happens to be right next to the 'animal instinct' button. as a result, they are far more Creechur than their typical posh personas would have you believe. so they got 🤝 solidarity

... so long as no one else is around to see, i mean.

Is it wrong when I read your au EW, and it has EW! Leo, I read it as “Ew, Leo” and in Rise Donnie’s voice?

All I hear lately is this

[nordidia]

YES CHEF. LOVE U CHEF.

Just Donnie for you :3

Hello, here comes another part (seventh?) of my silly comic.

Did Donnie somehow survived the explosion? Will our ninja turtles manage to escape the terrible Kraang monsters? Will Leo lose his arm? Well, you definitely won't find out from this chapter, hehe! As you probably noticed, this part is the longest of all so far and it took me some time to draw it. However, I hope that you will forgive me for such a long break in publishing and that you will like this part, although there is not much action here. This time I wanted to focus more on the seriousness of the situation (Donnie's literal sacrifice) and brothers' reactions. Honestly, I'm not entirely satisfied with how this turned out, but I think it's better to release something less than perfect, than not to release it at all.

If you have any questions about the story, or something is unclear, feel free to ask.

I would also like to thank everyone who liked my comic and rebloged it, I never thought that so many of you would like what I draw! I'm really, really happy about this and maybe I'll find some way to thank you all for it. For now, best regards and take care! Until next time!

It's currently the Sports Day event over at @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion, so here's all of the Cabin 7 Raph's gearing up for their favorite sports! Minus Rafarr, of course, who would much rather be spending his free time in the AC. Gotta represent his AU though, so he's (begrudgingly) takin' one for the team.👍🏻

@tmntaucompetition send the lawsuit to Splinter, he'll (probably) take care of it

[oozedninjas]

HELLOOO I LOVEEEE YOUR FICS and i binge them when im bored and i had an idea 😋

could you possibly make headcanons about how the 07 or 12 boys would react to their s/o calling them a good boy or pet names or something when they’re yk 🤐 (ITS CORNY I KNOW BUT LIKEEEE THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WOULD BE PRICELESS HAHA)

2012 verse cause I don't have much of those guys :)

Leo: It's been 84 years and he still hasn't fully processed the compliment. When it finally kicks in that you called him a good boy, like a good ninja maybe but that specifically fuels something he didn't even know he could feel. Leo blurts out the sweetest, most awkward laugh you've ever heard as he makes his best to return the compliment. Fails.

Donnie: His initial reaction is his is to ask for confirmation he heard correctly. When you confirm, he chuckles and blushes slightly, a bit embarrassed with the cheesiness. He collects himself pretty quickly and tries to play it cool. He appreciates the sentiment.

Raph: He rolls his eyes but can't hide the smile. Good boy? really? well if you come here he'll show you one better.

Mikey: Yes. He's a good boy, he's a sweetheart, a love angel, your cupcake, teddy bear, sugar pie, he'll thrive in each one and come back with more ten times cheesier! It's a contest.
