#triceritons

[rottmnt-background-screenshots]

I just saw your post about the Triceraton Skull that Kraang Prime used as a throne, and my head cannon (despite only watching 2012 turtles as a kid and barely remembering it) it that the Tricerations have Kaiju type ones as berserker warriors, so taking one down is considered an impressive feat.

However, Kraang Prime Is disrespecting this one by using its skull as a seat, and not as the remains of a powerful adversary.

Apologies for the wall of text, I was very excited to see someone else thinking about it, and saw that you were open for asks of this nature.

Have a great day/night and don’t forget to take care of yourself!

well now that I'm awake

I love your idea! Having fighters like that would be super interesting, and it would have really fun implications for a Rise Triceriton gladiator arc. I encourage someone to write this! And having Kraang just using a skull of one as a throne? Absolute power move.

For my fic I think I'm decided on the hive mind thing. Just because that hasn't been done for the triceritons before, and it could be fun.

Give them their long tails back

[tblsomedoodles]

In ninja club  who would you say is the most protective of Donnie?

Rafa, for sure.

They take one look at this dude with maybe 4 months of actual training entering a damn combat death arena and is like "This dude's going to get himself killed." upon finding out they're siblings and/or allying themself with the three, that changes to "That dude's going to get himself killed! And that's my problem!" They're Donny's #1 protective brother ever since lol.

Thank you!

[twicethetrouble]

Someone stop me.

My brains trying to come up with an 03 separated au and i already have too much work to do!

But, like, the thought of Donny growing up as Casey's little brother, who Casey is fiercely protective of , is just too good. (plus their neighborhood just being like "This child isn't a turtle creature. What are you talking about? He's clearly just a kid with a skin condition who refuses to take off their backpack for security reasons. Don't be rude." would be hilarious and adorable. gasp! Donny could go to school)

[owlfacenightkit]

But… Earth’s air is mostly nitrogen. It’s like 71% nitrogen

Dude should be fine

[iced-souls]

Dang i thank rottmnt for dropping the most amount of lore in shortest time they had lol

Makes me think if they ever post another comic it’ll be even shorter then the one-shot with more character drops piled on

[thebrainsofthebunch]

“Ssh, ssh! It’s okay! It’s me, it’s me! Look, look… it’s me.“ ( uno reverse from Leo :3 )

@forthehonorandtheglory

Don looked up and into his brother's face, his eyes still wild with terror, his chest heaving. He wasn't fighting Leo anymore, just staring at him as the situation started to settle in.

"L-Leo?" he said, his voice shaky, quiet, and uncertain. "Where--"

Blinking, Don started to look around. They were in the lair. Leo was in front of him, holding his wrists. A helmet lay nearby on the floor, as if discarded quickly. His brother was looking at him with concern.

They weren't on the Triceriton ship. That wasn't the mind probe. They were in the lair, and that was just a motorcycle helmet.

Don let out a shaky breath, and leaned forward, resting his head on his brother. It was okay. It was okay. He wasn't there, he was home, and his brother was with him. It was okay. Even if he trembled and his shoulders shook slightly and he still wasn't breathing evenly, it was okay.

"...sorry."

[intotheelliwoods]

2AL mini AU... the Leoverse.. Leo Generations...

What would their personalities be if they hypothetically did exist?

I actually had storylines in mind for a long while for both Big Leos bigger leo and Poptarts hypothetical little leo! :)

I decided that if Poptarts timeline DID go to shit... the reason would be due to Triceritons! (remember their damn skull in the krang ship? lmao what if they were still alive)

Anyways, the catch here and what makes this dynamic different is that, Poptart would not tell his little leo at all about Sprout. Not even a peep.

Poptart would also be all over this poor little leo constantly to the point of the little leo getting super annoyed. Poptart on the other hand is constantly cheery and upbeat and a giant nuisance! It is not until Poptart finally has some big mental breakdown, and tells his little leo about Sprout and the whole cycle, that the walls break and they can finally bond closely as a duo

Poptart would also, dub his little leo, Pudding. Banana Pudding. Why not.

Anyways Big Leos bigger leo is a bit of a darker story so, I am putting it under a cut, huge warning for character death:

Short version: Big Leo gets a grand total of 3 minutes with his bigger self, before said bigger self dies in his arms

Long version: I have had this one off comic in my head for so long but dont really know how to draw it and I kept thinking it was too dark to draw anyways so... I never drew it But the premise is...

It begins around the start of the Krang apocalypse in Big Leos timeline, him (still has the arm, age 18-20ish) and his brothers are all in some meeting frustrated not knowing what to do, eventually Leo decides he needs a break to think and heads off into another room and sits against a wall

A portal blue opens besides him, and out comes out his bigger self! Leo is freaked as shit before he realizes, oh, this guy is hurt. Leo goes to help his bigger self who is on the floor trying to crawl and check the damage since the guy was losing a lot of blood and it looks like a lot had already been lost

I do not have the exact dialogue down but, it is something along the lines of Bigger Leo insisting "dont worry about me, I need to warn you something, its amazing I made it here at all and.... I am sorry it looks like I showed up too late and...." He then looks into Leos eyes and becomes less tense, he goes "hey..... teacup, its good to see you before melting in for a hug. Leo hugs back and sobs, while the bigger leo soon after starts going limp..

Eventually Leos brothers would find where he hid after he stormed off to see the aftermath to the scene, they would take bigger leo over to their med bay maybe but it would be too late, and trying to get Leo away from the body was a nightmare, Leo could not stop staring

Did I just come up with the Teacup nickname while writing this all down? Yes.. yes I did....

Do you see why this might be too dark for a comic lmao?

This would also explain why Big Leo made no mention of this whole situation to Sprout, I dont think Sprout would have even wanted to know

Ninja Club AU

By: @tblsomedoodles

Iteration: 2003

Where You Can Find It: Tumblr | Ao3

Summary: An 03 Separated au where the boys are separated at age 2, each raised on their own. (Donny with the Jones, Leo with the Daimyo, Mikey with the Foot, and Raphael with the Triceritons.) Donny Jones, an above average high school student, keeps getting dragged on adventures by his three newly reunited siblings even though he’d much rather be getting caught up on his homework.

[figuringitoutasigoalong]

Could you tell us your favorite iteration of raph and why

Oh that's an easy one! That would have to be 2003 Raph!

I mean, look at this boy! Do you see him? Do you see this boy? Do you?

I mean, yes, all of the other versions of Raph are nice too, don't get me wrong. 87 Raph is a funny little dude, who can have a short temper here and there, but is mostly there for the sarcasm and I love it. 12 Raph does have some anger issues, but he also can be very caring and to me is just trying to find a way to balance all the parts of himself out. Rise Raph is a sweetheart and a teddy bear and took on so much. 90s Movie Raph loved life and just wanted his brothers safe and alright and wanted more for all of them. 07 Raph still wanted to do good, and was able to realize and learn from mistakes. Bayverse Raph would die for his family, and was upset when he was left for dead, because he felt like he'd failed them. Even Next Mutation Raph, as goofy as that show was, was still good, sticking up for Venus a couple of times, if I remember correctly. And Mutant Mayhem Raph is passionate and clearly cares about his brothers, he just covers how much with some tough-guy attitude.

But 2003 Raph? Oh, he's top tier to me! I mean, look at this guy!

He's protective.

Like, how many times have we seen him jump in the way to protect a brother, or be outraged on a brother's behalf? There are so many gifsets of him being protective to Don, and that's just one brother. There's so many other instances of him being protective towards Mikey and Leo too! Like when Mikey runs into that other prisoner when they're in the Triceriton prison, and Raph gets in front of Mikey--of all of them--and is ready to fight the dude.

He's got his brother's backs.

I mean, this ties in with being caring, but the dude is constantly backing up his family, and getting upset when things aren't fair or right for them. Look at how upset he got in season four, when Mikey had to face Kluh down again, and the magic was messed with. Yeah, he was ready for Mikey to get taken down a peg or two, because of Mikey's bragging, but the minute it was clear something was wrong, that Mikey was getting hurt, Raph's first words were "That's not right!" And in the City at War arc, even when he didn't agree with Leo's decision to involve them, he still ended up getting Splinter and going back to fight alongside his family.

He obviously loves his family.

Have you seen the affection this boy pours out? Worrying about Don when he's overworking in Return to the Underground. Clearly worried out of his mind when he thought Mikey was seriously injured in The Shredder Strikes. Helping Leo reforge his swords after the Shredder broke them. How upset he was that they couldn't find Splinter after they took out Foot HQ. And there's no way we can forget Tales of Leo. And that's not counting all the little physical things, like touches, helping brothers with things, and just so many small ways.

He's respectful.

Just go watch Touch and Go. Like seriously. Random old lady mistakes him for someone else, and he's all just like "yes ma'am" and "sorry ma'am" and helps her move boxes. Like, he is just the most respectful and I am so, so, so here for it. And it's not just with her. He's respectful with April, with Splinter, with anyone, unless he thinks they don't deserve it, and even then, he'll not go out of his way to be intentionally rude to him, although he's definitely not one to let opportunities slide.

He's caring.

Again, this ties in heavily with most of the above, but he genuinely cares about others. Helping Mrs. Morrison, trying to get Tyler to safety and then helping him get his mom back, being kind to the cat, Lucy, looking after April and Casey, trying to protect Cody, and, again, all of the moments with his brothers.

And yet he's still a goofy teenage boy.

I mean, looking all of this. Noogies, silly faces, pranking Casey with his brothers--he's just having fun! He's still a teenager, still just a kid, but he's got such a complex character and is just so, so, so good!

And we can't forget the SAINW hug. Like, that's a must.

Like this boy is just so well written--I think all of the characters in 2003 are, tbh--and I just absolutely love how complex and deep they make them. This Raph, to me, has layers that the other Raphs either don't have, or were executed not as well. Even with 2003 Raph's hot-headedness, we can clearly see how it effects him, and how he eventually learns to use it, even if it still does get him in trouble sometimes.

Like, 2003 Raph is my favorite Raph, and so far no other Raph has come close, and if I wasn't about to run off to church I'm sure I could articulate why better. But hopefully this'll be enough!

[ghostivities]

this Triceritons invasion was both a silly and scary episode but— LEO AND RAPH 🥺

[rottmnt-background-screenshots]

Either he made his throne in the image of the Triceritons to mock them, OOORR it's an actual Triceriton skull. If the latter, the rise boys are ffffffucked when the Triceritons show up

________________________________

Adding Family

April loved her big sister. She always had. Robyn had always been a part of her life. A playmate, a defender, a rival, an encourager, her big sister had looked after her even when the two of them clashed. While they had different interests and personalities while growing up, they had settled into a much closer friendship as adults. They had been there for each other and their father when their mother passed. When their father passed, they had come together to grieve him as well.

And yet, they had also grown apart. Robyn lived on the other side of the country, in California, her career path taking her more towards Silicon Valley and start-ups, while April’s own career path had led her towards more established types of engineering. Robyn had been understandably concerned when April had chosen to leave her career path to run the antique shop. She’d been even more concerned for April after the Triceriton invasion, and out-and-out suggested that April move to California with her after Bishop’s fake invasion. Not that Robyn knew it was fake.

She had gently rebuffed her sister, telling her that she was happy in New York City, especially with Casey and her friends, and she didn’t want to leave. Robyn had backed off a little, but April could tell that her sister was keeping an eye on her as best she could, trying to make sure that Casey was good for April, at the least. April knew that her sister was a little concerned that Casey was pressuring April to stay in the city and they, unfortunately, had agreed that it was best to let Robyn be suspicious about that. After all, it wasn’t like April could tell her sister that she had found a support system and a second family in four mutated turtles and a mutated rat.

In fact, she had never planned to tell Robyn anything about the guys. Even her wedding, which they had two of—one for family and friends not in the know, and one that included the family that both April and Casey really wanted to include—was orchestrated to keep knowledge about her family here in New York secret. There was no reason to risk exposing the guys for one day. After all, Robyn lived on the other side of the country, and it wasn’t like she had reason to regularly come to visit April.

At least, she hadn’t until now.

April stood at the window of her apartment, staring out of it. She raised her hands to her face, pressing the flats of her fingers on her nose, breathing out a heavy breath into her palms. It wasn’t as calming as she would have liked.

“Ape? Ya good?” Casey asked, coming up behind her.

April lowered her hands, letting out another sigh. “Yeah. I’m just—Casey are we doing the right thing?”

Casey’s hands came to rest on her shoulders, giving them a little squeeze and lightly massaging them for a moment. “Well, it’s like ya said. We want the kid to know both of his families.”

April’s hand dropped to her belly, it showing at twenty-two weeks along. “That’s true,” she said. “And your mother took it well.”

She could see Casey grimace in the reflection of the window. “Yeah well… Ma’s a special case.” He glanced out the window. “I hope she ain’t givin’ your sister too hard a time.”

April gave him a wry grin in the reflection of the window. “You and me both. But it was nice of her to volunteer to pick Robyn up from the airport and bring her here.”

“I ain’t sure nice is the word for it,” Casey said. “Ma’s probably got her own agenda. But she ain’t gonna spill the beans until it’s time, at least.”

April laughed lightly. “She definitely is a woman who knows when to keep something to herself, and when to say something.” April turned back from the window to look at Casey. “Are the guys here yet?”

He nodded, keeping his hands on her shoulders and pulling her in a little. “Yeah. They’re down in the store right now, stayin’ outta sight until you’ve had a chance to explain things to Robyn.”

April nodded, but then sighed again, crossing her arms and holding onto her elbows. “I wish this wasn’t so difficult.”

Casey leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead, and then drew her into his arms. “I know, babe. But you and me and Master Splinter and the guys talked this up one way and down the other. There wasn’t any other way to figure it.”

April leaned into him. “I know,” she said softly. “I just… wish it didn’t have to be this way.”

Casey gave her a squeeze, but there really wasn’t anything to say to that.

“Psst! Lovebirds!” Mikey’s voice drifted up from the stairwell that led down into the shop. “Mama Jones has been spotted and she has the parcel. I repeat, Mama Jones has been spotted and she has the parcel.”

The two broke apart, and turned to see Mikey peeking his head up, a finger held to the side of his head as if he were a secret agent using an earpiece.

April grinned at him. “They you better disappear, Mr. Wise Guy.”

Mikey grinned back at her. “You’ve got this, April!” he said, flashing her a big grin and a thumbs up before disappearing silently.

It was only seconds later before there was the sound of someone opening the door in the back stairwell, and April took a breath in, straightening her shoulders.

“Showtime,” Casey muttered as the voices drew closer to the door to the apartment.

A knock sounded on the door, and April hurried forward to answer it.

There was the usual squealing of happiness at seeing each other, Robyn being absolutely amazed that her little sister was pregnant. For the first thirty minutes or so, everyone just chatted, catching up. Robyn told them of the opportunities that she was pursuing along the east coast. Casey told them how well things had been going at work. April told Robyn about the pregnancy, and about how much of a help Casey’s mom had been. Ms. Jones—Jackie—told them some stories about Casey growing up, much to Casey’s dismay, and the girls’ delight. Eventually, though, the laughter and conversation petered out and Robyn glanced around at all of them.

“…I am glad that you have someone here to help you,” Robyn said, sending Jackie a grateful smile. “With Mom gone, and me being no help, it’s nice to know that you have a support system.”

The other three exchanged looks.

“That’s actually why I wanted you to come by, Robyn,” April said, setting her (decaffeinated) cup of coffee down.

“Oh?” Robyn said, her curiosity piqued. She looked as if she had been expecting a change in topic, and April wasn’t surprised. Robyn was observant.

April took a bit of a breath, hoping that she’d find the right words to say. “I haven’t been completely honest with you, Robyn. Remember how you asked how Casey and I met, and I said it was through mutual friends?”

Robyn nodded. “I do. You wouldn’t say much about those mutual friends. You never have.”

April nodded. “There’s a reason for that. Those friends—they’re a big part of my, of our, life. They’re the reason Casey and I met. They’re the reason that we’re still together. They’re the reason we’re still alive through everything that’s happened. But more than that, over the years that we’ve known them, they’ve become more than friends. They’re family.”

Robyn leaned forward obviously intrigued. “Go on,” she said.

“It’s a small family. A single father raising for boys. He’s raised them alone all of their lives, and, from what I understand, they didn’t often have the best living conditions,” she said. “But they are the kindest, most caring people I know. They’ll risk it all to help strangers, even if the strangers will never know it. And they will and have dropped everything to come help me. Their father, he’s become like a father to me as well, the guys? They’re like my little brothers.”

“Mine, too,” Casey said. “It’s like, we came rolling into each other’s lives and after that it was a done deal. They’re my little bros, and, well, the closest thing I’ve had to a father since my own Pa passed.”

Jackie reached over and squeezed her son’s hand, but she didn’t interrupt, letting April and Casey take the lead on the conversation.

“Okay,” Robyn said, drawing out the word and looking between the three of them as if she might find some sort of answer in them. “If they’re that important to you, then what’s the big deal? How come you won’t talk about them to me?”

“They… have a complicated situation,” April said. “But even with that, I want them to be a part of the baby’s life.” She reached out and took Robyn’s hand. “But I want you to be a part of the baby’s life, too. And to make that happen, they’ve agreed to meet you.”

Robyn squeezed April’s hand back, but she still shot them all a confused and guarded look. “You know I can keep a secret, April. Look, I don’t know what kind of complicated situation this is, but if it’s like, I don’t know, witness protection or something, I won’t say a word.”

“If only,” Casey muttered, and April and Jackie both elbowed him.

“Ow! Babe! Ma!”

“Keep yer gob shut unless you’re gonna help, Arnold,” Jackie scolded him.

Casey rubbed his stomach, but didn’t say anything else.

April gripped Robyn’s hands tighter, drawing her sister’s attention back to her. “You have to promise me to keep an open mind, alright?” April said. “Keep an open mind and let us explain.”

Robyn began to look a little uncomfortable, but she nodded. April kept a hold of her hands.

“Alright guys.  You can come up now,” she called out.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs—something April knew they were doing on purpose, to make their arrival less startling, and within a few seconds the first green head—Leonardo—popped into view. Robyn took in an audible breath and tensed up, automatically shifting away. April kept a firm grip on her hands. Robyn gasped in disbelief, sounding as if she were trying to form words, but not getting them out. Her eyes widened and she let out a high-pitched sound as Splinter appeared and started trying to move away. April didn’t let her.

Leo bowed to her, as did they all, and he spoke first. “Hello,” he said, politely, his tone even. “We’re pleased to meet you.”

A strangled sort of scream escaped Robyn, and she began to try to move back in earnest, only this time, she grabbed April’s hands, too, trying to pull her sister with her.

“April!” she said, her voice shaking, pitching high. “April, those—those are the aliens that tried to kill the president! Here! In your home! We—we’ve got to leave! Now!”

“Robyn, calm down,” April said, trying to soothe her sister. “They didn’t try to kill the president. They were trying to save him.”

Robyn wasn’t hearing April, though, practically climbing over the side of the couch and pulling April along with her. “April—April, come on!”

Jackie’s hands landed on Robyn’s shoulders, and Robyn let out a little shriek, looking as if she had almost forgotten the other woman was in the room.

“Calm down, dear, and hear the turtles and rat out,” she said.

Robyn let out another high-pitched distressed noise and looked at Jackie and Casey with wide eyes. “Why aren’t you doing anything?!” she said, clearly panicked.

April tugged on Robyn’s hands again, pulling her sister back towards the couch. “Because it’s okay, Robyn,” she said.

Casey stood up. “Robyn. Trust me. If these guys were a threat to your sister, I wouldn’t just be standin’ here. I’d be tellin’ her, you, and Ma to run, and I’d be rumblin’, knowin’ I was about to go down. But it’d be worth it to protect all of you, and my kid. But these guys?” he stepped to the side a little indicating the others, “These guys are the only people I’d trust without question to protect April and our kid.”

Robyn was looking between all of them, her eyes still wide. “You’re all crazy,” she said, her voice almost a whisper.

“Please,” Splinter stepped forward, and Robyn let out a squeak. “Allow us to explain, Miss O’Neil.”

Robyn was still shaking, but she looked back at April.

“Please, Robyn?” April said. “Trust me.”

Robyn didn’t look happy about it, but she swallowed and nodded, clearly digging into the O’Neil grit, and took a breath. “Alright,” she said, her voice stronger, even with the shake in it. “Alright. Explain.”

The explanation took a while, but Robyn calmed more as it went on. She listened, as promised, but April could tell that she was observing, too. She watched as Mikey and Leo made themselves at home in her kitchen, making some hot chocolate and snacks for everyone. She watched as Raph and Casey picked at each other, until Jackie scolded both of them, and they relented with respectful apologies. She watched as Don went around just fixing up things as he saw need. She watched as Splinter treated April as a daughter, small gestures that were reminiscent of their own father. And she watched as all of them doted on April, making sure that she had everything she needed.

Robyn finally sat back, her mug of hot chocolate long since cooled, and took a deep breath in.

“I’m not going to lie,” she finally said. “This is… a lot. Mutants, ninjas, aliens that didn’t invade the planet…” she shook her head and peered at Mikey. “Are you really a member of the Justice Force?”

“Yep!” he said with a grin. “Want me to call my pal, Silver Sentry? I’m sure he wouldn’t mind backing us up—especially if April’s got any of her cookies around!”

Robyn glanced at April.

“I used Great-Aunt Louise’s recipe,” she said.

“That explains it,” Robyn said. She sat her mug down. “I’m still pretty weirded out by all of this. I mean—who wouldn’t be?”

“Casey,” Raph said.

“And Ms. Jones,” Leo said.

“It’s a family trait, dear,” Jackie replied. “He gets it from my side.”

“Okay, well, aside from them, I think my point still stands,” Robyn said. She ran a hand through her hair. “This crazy stuff.”

“Then we have come to a moment of decision,” Splinter said, and everyone in the room stilled.

Robyn frowned and looked at him. “A moment of decision?” she repeated.

Splinter nodded. “Yes. At the moment, we have put our fate in your hands. Tell me, Miss O’Neil, what will you do with it? You could very easily expose us and drive us away from your sister. Or you could say nothing and allow our family to stay together. The decision is in your hands.”

April looked at Robyn, knowing what she wanted her sister to say and hoping that she would.

Robyn laced her fingers together, placing them in her lap and looked around at the room. No one was moving, everyone collectively holding their breath, waiting.

“This is still rather hard to believe,” she said. “And I’m staring right at it. But I trust my sister. And it sounds like you’ve saved her more than once and helped bring back Uncle Auggie, who—” she winced, “—I might owe an apology to after all of this. His stories are a little more believable now. But I owe all of you, too.” Robyn shook her head. “I won’t say anything. But I am going to have to take time to get used to this, and to all of you.”

“That’s fair,” Leo said.

“So, you’re alright with it?” April asked.

“I’m not sure ‘alright’ is the right word,” Robyn said, turning to April, her lips quirking up in a smile. “But April. You’re my sister. And they are clearly important to you. I’m not going to take that from you.”

April threw her arms around her sister, hugging her tightly. Robyn returned the embrace and April found herself sniffing a little.

“Thank you, Robyn. You don’t know how much this means to me.”

Robyn squeezed her. “I hope I find out how much it does,” she said back.

“Alright!” Mikey said, breaking the moment, and the two sisters pulled away from each other. “This calls for a celebration!” He rocketed to his feet. “April, whatever you want, it’s yours! Peanut butter and pickle ice cream? Pizza roles covered in sour cream and hot sauce? Karai’s personal lunch stolen right off her desk? Hot chocolate from Area 51? Whatever you want, you’ve got dibs, and I’ll go make it!”

April laughed. “Nothing quite like that, Mike. How about just some pizza?”

“Handmade pizza it is!” Mikey said. “Call out your toppings now, everyone, or live with the consequences!”

“I’ll come give you a hand,” Jackie said. “Someone has to make sure you don’t poison my grandchild.”

“Heeeey,” Mikey whined, following the woman into the kitchen.

Raph and Casey snickered, until her voice came out of the kitchen, cracking like a whip. “Arnold! Raphael! Go to the store and pick up more food! I’ve seen how much this one can eat.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Yes, Ma.”

“If you don’t mind, April, I’m going to give your computer a bit of an upgrade,” Don said. “I’ve got some new programs to add on to it that should help with your security.”

Robyn looked at Don curiously. “Really? What kind of programs are those?” she asked.

“My own ones,” Don said. “Here—I’ll show you.”

The sound of a hand being whacked with a wooden spoon and an exclamation came from the kitchen, and Leo sighed.

“I’ll go help in the kitchen,” Leo said. “Just in case.”

April watched everyone go their separate ways, and gave a sigh, leaning back on the couch. She tilted her head back, and closed her eyes, breathing deeply. The couch dipped next to her, and she opened her eyes to look over and see Splinter sitting next to her.

“Family,” he said after a moment, “will always be family. And you will always be part of ours, my daughter. You, and your own family.”

“Thank you, Master Splinter. And thank you for risking so much, just for my child.”

Splinter merely hummed, clearly content just to sit there, and April closed her eyes again, listening to the life in her home.

Yes, it was an extremely stressful day. But all in all, it had worked out for the best, and April couldn’t be more satisfied. She had her family, all of them, and that was the best thing she could give her son.

Help! I turned 03 Donny into a YA fantasy novel protagonist! lol : )

so yeah, An 03 separated au anyone?

look i tried to wait until friday to post this, but i've been vibing with this idea for almost a week now and after finally getting to design what they'd look like, i just can't wait!

I posted briefly about it over HERE but i'll

The boys got separated at about age 2-3. (something happened while splinter was out. idk what yet. just hear me out.) they each ended up getting raised in different places/by different people.

Leo got raised by the Daimyo. Mikey ended up with the Shredder (Karai kept him out of trouble a lot.) Raph originally got found by the Utroms and was with them for about a year before he accidentally messed with an experimental teleporter and ended up with the Triceritons. And Donny? He got raised by the Jones family as Casey's little brother.

It sounds pretty cool, but it's really just so stupid. B/c Leo, Raph, and Mikey are all these really awesome fighters by the time they meet, but Donny's just some dude that goes to high school and his entire combat experience can be sumed up with one self defense course he took at age 10 and playing hockey sometimes with his brother.

It's so damn stupid. I love it. i'll probably post more about it later (maybe an actual friday update) but for now. Enjoy my stupid boys : )

Hello!

I just discovered your blog, I would just like to say that you are a really skilled artist. I really like how you draw the triceritons,you really capture their likeness.

Have a lovely day/night/evening/afternoon/morning/month/year/life :3
