#turtle talking

[turtletimewriting]

if you are doing requests, maybe any headcanons for the 2012 turtles?? i love your writing, you do the boys so well :3

Thanks! This was a good excuse to look through my old headcannons, haha!

Mikey starts tickle fights all the time. He can taze their sides, poke and prod them all bad enough that he'll have all three brothers chasing him.

Leo takes forever to stop laughing once the tickling has ended. Definitely one of those people that starts laughing at the threat alone.

Mona Lisa found out that Raph was ticklish and literally could not stop for like nine days. But she never tickled him in front of anyone else because she liked his laugh and wanted to keep it between just them.

Along that kind of line, Renet has secret future knowledge of Mikey's tickle spots that even he doesn't know about.

I've said it before but I will die on the hill that Donnie snorts.

Similar to that knee fic I wrote, I really really badly want to write a fic where Leo realises his laugh sounds different after being attacked by the Shredder. Gotta love combining my interests- angst and t-fics.

Whenever Donnie is working underneath a vehicle, everyone can't help but tickle his feet sticking out. To the point where he hides into his shell whenever he hears someone come in.

Raph adores teasing but he especially loves the tickling until they admit something or the whole "STAHAP!" / "Stop what?" / "Tickling!" /"Oh, tickle you? I can do that!"

None of them dare to tickle Karai. She uses this to her advantage.

April and Casey will happily dive into the fray. Casey in particular is waaaay too competitive for tickle fights.

Ok, so little fact about the turtles on the woods au (name wip) is that they actually interact with a lot of supernatural things from a very, very young age. This meanst that they don't always have the best grasp on what is and is not normal.

The fact that splinter also acts like these things are normal definitely doesn't help tho

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

Something something 16yo 2k12 Mikey gets sucked into a portal and sent into the RISE universe and ends up helping raise the RISE kiddos AU

[tizeline]

Ah yes, Tizeline Seperated Au. Or as I like to call it: "Everyone In This Family Is Fucking Stupid Except For ME (said every member of this family)"

They are all cringe-fail! 🫵

Sick Days 3

[ 1 - 2 - 3 ]

The unfortunate thing about getting sick in a big family is that when one person falls, the rest follow like dominoes.

My poor brother… he was always the one to get sick right after me. He’d always insist blame on whoever was sick first and grumble about it when we checked on him lol

Also you bet that if Donnie lost his voice his brothers would absolutely be teasing him about it. Someone would be all like “I feel a close kinship with frogs, we’re both amphibians” and he’d be seething in the corner typing furiously about the differences between reptiles and amphibians but no one would open their phone.

This whole comic is a combination of two separate pep talks I got early on from a friend and my sister telling me the same thing. For every artist, voice actor, cosplay creator, writer, and creator, do not undersell yourself. Your skills and time are worth getting paid for. And for every person looking to commission a creator, if their prices are too high or you can't afford their art, that's ok. But there are many reasons why they charge for their work. Like everyone else, we gotta make a living. These lil turtles are just the cutest and I adore their familial relationship in the series 💚 So it was great to get to draw Donnie helping Mikey with a power point presentation/pep talk.

smile 4 the camera !

[turtletimewriting]

I did this is for the rise turtles and I'm going through an 03 obsession, so...

[cyrinsturtleanon]

aha this is a thing I can do! I have no way of knowing if you rebloged the ask game but I’m sending you some anyway

7 and 28 :)

The asker has gotten asked I see-

7. what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

Yes. I've never been to an aquarium (yet) but I wanna see them all. If I *had* to choose one, it's probably be sharks :]

28. last meal on earth?

I mean, that depends, do aliens have noodles? And the sauces to go with? If yes I'd go with chocolate chip muffins >:D if no, well... probably still chocolate chip muffins lmao. With hot cocoa :3

Big Mama's Dialogue

I've heard a few people lament on how Big Mama is difficult to write because of how she speaks, so I thought I'd share my tips and tricks.

I start out by writing what I intend for her to say without the flowery language added on. For example:

"I look nice in the new jacket I bought."

Doesn't sound like Big Mama at all, but it'll help you have a place to start so you don't have to be intimidated by scrolling through thesaurus.

Now, Big M has a tendency to do the following:

Use outdated American slang (anywhere from the 1920's to the 60's)

Apply alliterations (using the same letter at the beginning of a word to the adjacent/close word)

Use adverbs, so describing words with the end suffix -ly (i.e. softly, mysteriously, quickly)

Sprinkle in a few made-up words

So let's take the base sentence I provided an shape it to Big M's standards.

Resources for American slang:

Instead of word vomiting out all the outdated American slang I know, I'm going to link some resources/websites you all can look at and come back to. She mostly uses 20's slang, so the links are centered around that.

1920's slang PDF, alphabetically organized!!!

List of slang phrases originating from the 1920's to the 2010's

Short list of slang flapper's from the 1920's used

So let's edit our base sentence a little, now it's:

"This new jacket I bought is the cat's meow."

Adding the next layer:

I did mention that Big Mama tended to use both alliterations and adverbs in copious amounts, but don't feel pressured to use both at once in a sentence. If it fits, it fits. If it doesn't, some trimming might be useful. This is why having a base sentence is important, so the intention behind the dialogue isn't lost under all the additions you're adding. So with that in mind, I'm going to alter our example:

"This new jazzy jacket I just bought is the cat's meow."

The last part:

I save the "fake words" part for last, because beginning with them can make your sentences clunky or not make sense. This part really relies on your personal touch or the context and tone of the situation at hand. The example I gave make Big Mama sound like she's preening about her looks, so I'm going to lean into that.

"This newsie-woozie jazzy jackety I just bought is the cat's meow! Grr!"

And for comparison, here's where we started.

"I look nice in the new jacket I bought."

And well, that's it!!! Hope it was helpful to those that needed it!!!

[annomalysstuff]

I made a compilation of references for the main tmnt characters from every iteration and I thought it would be helpful, so I’m posting it here :]👍

I brightened the saturation in some so it’s more readable

Also, this is so cute, I’m keeping this

Edit: I forgot about bay Donnie, updated version

[mossy-box]

A very small (haha small..) self indulgent comic thingy I did.
