Yoshis Hatch From Eggs

So recently a hypothesis has been going around claiming Yoshies are something they are not, and by extension has led to many people believing Yoshies don't hatch from eggs. So here's several examples of Baby Yoshies hatching from eggs.

The first one is from Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World, in this game you can come across some eggs that hatch into Baby Yoshies. A we see the same thing happen in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe with the Baby Yoshis from that game. This can also been seen in official art depicting this as well.

In Game & Watch Gallery 2's Vermin a Yoshi is protecting 6 Yoshi eggs from the Koopa Troop. These are probably the same eggs that hatch in Yoshi Story. The Green Yoshi is probably the Star Yoshi that hatched at the end of Yoshi's Island DS as well, making the other Yoshies here his friends which he mentioned in SMB4SMW.

In Game & Watch Gallery 2's Chef we see Yoshi lay and egg which hatches into a Baby Yoshi.

There is also the whole Yosu Ko/Yoshi Lake thing.

We see a Baby Yoshi hatch from an egg in Super Mario RPG and live in the nest with other Yoshi eggs.

Finally we see a Mini Yoshi hatch from an egg in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. This shows Yoshies also make nests.

So yes, Yoshies do indeed hatch from eggs as.

My Ghosts headcanons

I've had these sitting in a google doc for ages so I might as well hand them over.

I've split them into stuff that 'could take place in canon' and 'modern au' stuff

Robin:

Fluent in multiple languages (kind of canon but whatever)

He has a PhD in astrophysics 

Humphrey:

He gets migraines

He’s a teacher (this is quite popular), Headteacher humphrey is cool as well

Failed his driving test 4 times in a row

Coffee gives Humphrey headaches so he drinks more of it. 

Mary:

She was a girl guide (me coded) (Credit to @kingofthefrogs swapped au for inspo)

Welsh (me coded)

Dyslexic

Kitty:

Can be heard on a spirit box (Credit to kingofthefrogs)

Likes Call the Midwife.

She is a Nurse or Doctor, possibly a paediatrician. Haven’t seen this done yet but I think it could be fun given her fascination with Maddocks’ injury.

She loves iced coffee.

Thomas:

He is scared of dogs (channeling me right now) Dante is a weird exception to this that Fanny often complains about but secretly is proud of.

He can experience temperature as a ghost. (Credit to Ailendolin) He is susceptible to heat stroke and sometimes gets a cold, especially after going in the lake.

He's left handed

He is dyslexic and/or short sighted. Bonus if he refuses to wear glasses. Double bonus if this gives him constant headaches.

Studied abroad in Holland for 2 years and developed a weed addiction, he moved back to the UK to get over it

Coffee gives Thomas headaches so he doesn’t drink it. 

Fanny:

Hypochondriac. 

Incredible at Netball (she's such a netball girlie) she plays wing attack or centre

Captain:

He has reading glasses.

Scared of chickens (Alektorophobia) (Inspired by @upsetslingshot on ao3)

Cap was in army cadets (me coded) and loved it.

Pat:

He's claustrophobic, he was in life and the fact that he died while struggling to breathe has worsened that.

He’s basically blind without his glasses. (like Velma type blind)

Road rage.

Julian:

Has hemophobia (fear of blood)

Julian was in army cadets and hated it.

Multi Character (mostly modern au stuff):

Thomas, Fanny, and Mary love watching Downton Abbey. Thomas is a passionate fan of Edith, Mary likes Sybil, and Fanny is a big fan of Violet Crawley (as she should be).

All autistic (Julian and Robin AuDHD).

Cap, Thomas, Mary, and Julian are cat people

Pat, Robin, and Fanny are dog people

Humphrey and Kitty passionately refuse to pick a side.

Thomas, Cap, Pat, Fanny and Julian are tea people.

Humphrey, Kitty, Mary and Robin are coffee people.

Robin and Humphrey as siblings/ twins.

Thomas and Kitty met in school. Thomas was being picked on and Kitty defended him.

Julian and Robin met in Cambridge Uni, Robin was doing an astrophysics PhD, Julian was doing his classmates a masters in politics.

Cap and Fanny play badminton together.

They have a group football team (more on that later)

Mary and Robin hooked up once (I know its canon but I love when it also happens in modern au's)

Hogwarts houses:

Hufflepuff - Humphrey, Pat, Mary

Gryffindor - Robin, Julian

Ravenclaw - Fanny, Thomas, Kitty

Slytherin - Cap

I'm very willing to elaborate and hear other opinions on this.

Mario Kart mains:

Robin - Bowser

Humphrey - Shy Guy

Mary - Yoshi

Kitty - Daisy

Thomas - Peach

Fanny - Toadette

Captain - Luigi

Pat - Koopa Troopa

Julian - Donkey Kong

The football team (my pride and joy):

Robin - goalkeeper, he once scored from a goal kick

Humphrey - defence, very good at headers (lol) but is frequently injured mainly due to being clumsy

Kitty - defence, she gets very invested in the game and will break knees (while apologising) 

Cap - defence, it took him a while to pick up the sport but he’s thriving, works very well with Humphrey and Kitty

Thomas - surprisingly good left winger, other teams generally see him (being himself) before the game  and write him off as a weaker player - he loves proving them wrong

Fanny - right wing, her and thomas make a weirdly good duo, she's absolutely incredible at penalties 

Pat - central midfielder and the team captain (Cap conceded that maybe Pat was a little bit better than him at football and should take the lead ‘just this once’)

Mary - Striker, really strong with both feet, closes her eyes when she takes a shot but somehow is still usually on target 

Julian - Striker, solid player but is frequently sent off for inappropriate celebrations

I had way too much fun re-reading these.

PLEASE USE THEM AND SEND ME THE FICS IM OBSESSED.

"They always rested in the same field"

If you went west past the greenhouses you would find a field of sunflowers that soon made way to a lake. The field was once a tourist attraction for taking scenic pictures and bags of seed. But now it was cut off from tourists since in the words of the locals, the tourists can’t follow directions.

Zhonglin liked to hide there, the tall flowers did a good job of hiding people, hiding secrets. Yoshi always managed to track him down, saying they should get back to work, back to their own fields, back to where people were.

Zhonglin always asked for 10 more minutes to just lie there. Yoshi always obliged, and then joined him.

As much as Zhonglin liked the commune and navigated the laws well enough, the citizens, including his dear friend could be a bit much. Yoshi is, for all his size and appearance, a strict law abiding Solite. He also saw good in people that didn’t deserve it, and gave everyone the benefit of doubt. Yoshi was born and raised on this commune and behaved every part of it. Right now Zhonglin bets Yoshi just thinks Zhonglin is tired or overwhelmed when the truth is always a bit more complicated.

“They’re saying you hurt those tourists.”

Zhonglin continues to lie there eyes closed as if hes taking a nap. He appreciates that Yoshi likes to warn him of what people think of him.

“I didn’t touch them. They were in Vicky’s territory. They were warned.” all truthful statements, because Yoshi craves honesty more than anything.

“There may be a trial.”

Zhonglin stifles a laugh and a “I hope so.” It has been boring around the commune lately. He hopes at the least Vicky enjoyed her meal.

I heard you mention pooltoyification. Do you have any examples? Im very curious about the pooltoy gender\sexuality stuff I think you talk about (not super familiar with your blog). Are there artists or more written thing? I've not come across nsfw pool stuff i think.

Also hiiiiiiiiii we follow similar people

pooltoyification is like a transformation thing that a surprising number of people (including me!) are into. you know pooltoys-- the plasticky rubber vinyl floaties that people hang out on and in when theyre at the pool or the lake. now really think about them-- maybe one in particular from your childhood-- god, isnt the texture of them wonderful? so smooth, bouncy, so light that you could easily pick a large one up with just one paw but firm, too, inflated to be large and cutely rounded. the way that they shine in the sun, especially when theyre wet; their seams that connect them together, often causing their bodies to adorably crimp at the side; the fact that many of them are transparent, even slightly so, allowing you to see all the way through them; their thin, soft vinyl being broken up by only two things, gorgeous handles built-in to their bodies for people to grab at them, carry them, use them, and their hard plastic nozzle that people often blow directly into. god, don't you just want to be that? soft, shiny, squeaky, with beautiful handles and a silly demeanor and light as a feather but big enough to hug, hold, and ride on? to be seen as a toy, an object, to be inflated or deflated by your friends at will? i know i do. the idea of that is like peak sensory to me, and the sexual objectification it comes with is pretty wonderful too.

in my experience theres a pretty vast amount of pooltoy art and pooltoy artists, i tend to post mine on the "pooltoy" tag on tumblr, but theres plenty especially once you start following the right people. i havent seen as much pooltoy writing or smut, but id love to, i just havent. im sure its out there too.

if this post makes anyone want to be a pooltoy, you should pooltoyify your sona! or make a new pooltoy fursona all your own. its a wonderful practice and has not only made me so happy in general but also is a great way to show your friends how to roleplay/sext with you in fun ways. like whenever i post another pooltoy yoshi fursona art, many of my coolest friends tend to message me about what a cute good little yoshi pooltoy i am. its frankly wonderful. sqrk.

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 3/5

Name: Chromeo III (two other performers briefly considered using the name Chromeo at Caine's suggestion, hence the III)

Avatar: A REALLY big legally distinct yoshi/barney. His tail ended with a transparent orb with a few colorful marbles in it. (He would automatically shrink to fit into his room's door)

Personality: Despite the name suggesting otherwise, this guy was the ultimate himbo. Real outdoorsy type too, so he got really grouchy whenever there was an in house adventure. He also frequently broke the carnival rides.

Fun fact: Chromeo was completely unaware as to how much Glumis hated his guts and was hit hard by his abstraction.

Abstraction: He eventually realized most of the other performers dismissed him as an overbearing doofus, as that feeling piled up he eventually just couldn't take it anymore. His abstracted form was actual quite small and really fast, it managed to glitch four people ( Gangle being among them)

Name: Edgallen (a combination of Edgar and Allen, I'm sure you'll figure it out after I describe the avatar)

Avatar: Greenish-off-white glow in the dark skeleton with glitter balls for eyes, moved around by several frog-eyed blobs. He could really glow in the dark.

Personality: Tired guy ( matching his scratchy voice) with a cynical sense of humor and interest in classically spooky stuff. He would due his best to help Ragatha in adjusting new humans (He was the second person to appear after her, the first one will come next time).

Fun fact: He convinced Caine to create a "creepy" fun house, Caine took it down after Edgallen abstracted to not repeat the mistake he made with Barridge's situation. Bonus: The fun house idea was based on the grey building north of the lake in this concept art:

Abstraction: A combination of Caine neglecting his interests, even after creating the fun house there were very few adventures in it, and good-old fashioned existential dread. He did a lot of damage since he was on his way to the fun house to avoid a repeat adventure, glitched Kaufmo and Zooble. His was the last abstraction before Kaufmo's.

Dinosaur Land Location Part 2

So in the previous post I suggested Dinosaur Land and by extension Yoshi's Island was part of the Cascade Kingdom. However, it might actually be part of the Mushroom Kingdom.

So the SMRPG and M&LPIT maps place Yoshi's Island close to the Mushroom Kingdom. While they are composite maps that don't have things in their right placements, it is interesting that both place it not too far way. Someone might suggest the SMB4SMW manual doesn't say it's part of the Mushroom Kingdom, at the same time it doesn't say it isn't part of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Speaking of SMRPG, you can find a place called the Pipe Vault that leads to an underground location leading to Yoshi's Island. But since you get here via Pipe it could be argued you Warp here, so we need something more concrete.

So in the game Mario & Wario a good proportion of the places take place in Yoshi's Island due to the following info. Yosu Ko aka Yoshi Lake is rumored to be the place where Yoshis are born/hatch. This would place it near the location we see in SMRPG Yoshi's Island. Kumotori Yama aka Cloud-Catching Mountain has Super Koopas flying around. Kōri no Dōkutsu aka Ice Cavern has Rexs frozen in ice. Honō no Dōkutsu aka Flame Cavern had SMB4SMW Blaargs. And Pukupuku Kai aka Cheep Cheep Sea has Blurps. All of these are enemies from Dinosaur Land, and are connected to Yoshi's Island. Plus Yoshis are present of course.

Now why is this important? Well the level Barūn Burijji aka Balloon Bridge bridges Dinosaur to Karakara Sabaku aka Dry Dry Desert which is East of the Grasslands. This would mean Dinosaur Land is not part of the Cascade Kingdom but part of the Mushroom Kingdom, particularly in the inland sea to the South of the Grasslands/Desert Land. This would also mean the name of this sea is Cheep Cheep Sea. This would also explain why Yoshis once had range in the Mushroom Kingdom, and some exist on places like Lavalava Island. This also explains species such as Ravens, Crazee Dayzees, Bumpties, and Rexs existing the Mushroom Kingdom and even the Beanbean Kingdom. This also explains the stork passing over Yoshi's Island several times in the Yoshi's Island Games, and why Baby Bowser so easily got to Yoshi's Island in M&LPIT.

Now as for Yoshi's Island, people question if there is 2 Yoshi's Islands or if Yoshi's Island eroded over time. I don't think this is the case, I think what is going on here is we are only seeing what is relevant in Dinosaur Land's levels of Yoshi's Island, and it's actually much bigger. Similar to how we only see portions of Yoshi's Island in SMRPG and M&LPIT. It is also the same Island due to the presence of Yoshi's House in SM2YI.

"A Green Queen" AU

Chapter VII

TW: minor self-harm

Mario yawned and turned over in the car seat, he groaned and blocked the small ray of sun peaking through the bushel. "Mm..."

He blinked his eyes open, looking up at the canopy. As he pushed himself up a nice misty breeze brushed past his face. He wiped his it a bit and froze when he noticed Daisy stretched out against his yoshi.

A sigh of relief left his lips when he heard her snoring and he got out of the seat to stretch. He tiptoed over to the yoshi and took out a few fruit slices he'd packed. His yoshi opened his eyes slightly and glanced back at Mario.

Mario gestured to him to stay silent and motioned to the start of a path leading down from the edge. The yoshi huffed and closed his eyes again, not really wanting to move. Mario took this as a sign for him to go fill up his water cantine and headed back to the edge of the cliff.

He started to hike down the steep pathway and kept a hand on the sediment walls while skidding down slowly. As he made his way down the color of the soil changed and its richness was clear as he reached the gorgeous lake at the bottom of the waterfall.

The crisp, clear blue water rippling from the falls made him breathe in awe. The mist and light peek of the sun's rays reflecting off of it made him smile slightly.

'Wow... If only Luigi could see this..'

He lowered himself towards the edge of the large body of water and rolled up his sleeves. When he opened the cantine and dipped it into the cool water, it began to fill it up as the netted filter at the nozzle caught some small pebbles in it.

He wanted to see his brother once, just to make sure he was ok. Even if he got caught, maybe his imprisonment would show Luigi how terrible that monster truly was.

Bowser grinned as he pushed the large doors open. Kamek was about to introduce him as he teleported in, but was hit by the door.

Luigi winced at the inflicted pain and stood up to go check if the MagiKoopa was ok. Spotty following behind him, closely.

"Are you ok?", He asked.

Kamek nodded, "I-I'll be ok, your majesty! Please continue to enjoy your meal.". He croaked, giving a good stretch to his back as he was helped up.

Bowser grumbled at the lack of acknowledgement of his presence, before he took another look at Luigi. He was wearing his attire from his first night in the ship except his hair was a mess. He could help but feel uneasy from remembering what happened that night, but shook it from his mind.

He apologized, and all he had to do was play nice for a while until Luigi forgave him.

The large koopa then turned his attention to the Prince who was simply smiling at them from the far end of the long table.

"It's nice of you to join us, King Koopa.", he grinned. He shifted his eyes towards Luigi. "Your husband has been telling me about his little coronation, or moreso the lack of one"

Bowser scowled in response, "I just overslept.. and that's none of your business. When it happens, it happens."

Luigi could sense his disdain, but didn't feel comfortable chiming in without being acknowledged. He was aware of not officially being the Queen, so didn't fuss about any ceremonies.

Then he remembered the turmoil that awaited them in the Darklands. The many, MANY troops in Bowser's army that were waiting for some kind of answer as to why he was their Queen. He felt sick.

It gave him an unpleasant chill thinking about it.

"Oh c'mon..", the Prince remarked slyly. "You remember my coronation, a grand gala. Everyone invited in peace for the night. Speaking of which, I heard the Kongs are one hosting the Peace Flair Ball this century."

Bowser rolled his eyes and Luigi over to Kamek for an answer. Kamek walked over and whispered, "Kingdoms come together in peace for 24 hours to dance and convene at a large ball. It's a simple reunion for old friends or allies. If you want my opinion, I'd say it'll be great for you to meet more of your subjects! Maybe steal a dance with the King?"

He nudged Luigi's arm a bit, being careful not to hit the bandages.

The King rubbed his chin as he sat down at the table, "My kingdom will not be attending..."

Prince Khufo's smile gradually faded, "Yours?". His gaze turned towards Luigi, confused, "And the Queen's, right?"

Luigi flinched as he sat back down in his seat across from Bowser. The King Koopa gave a low growl once he heard it out loud. Kamek had constantly planted it in him that he was sharing HIS kingdom with the plumber, despite knowing his intentions were to make Luigi his prisoner.

"He's...."

"It's a bit more complicated than that, your highness.", Luigi chimmed in. "Like you said, I haven't had my... Coronation yet. S-so.."

Khufo blinked, trying to piece together the weird tension floating around the two. "Well, no matter. We can just finish breakfast and head to my balcony to talk more!"

Bowser grunted, "Couldn't we go somewhere where there are less eyes watching?"

"It's quite safe upstairs!", the Prince insisted. "You said yesterday you wanted to get this whole ordeal over with, right?"

Bowser sighed, "Yes but-"

"Then that's what we're doing, right Queen Koopa?"

Bowser grumbled, bearing his teeth as gazed down at Luigi. Both waited for an answer.

Luigi flinched as he was suddenly the focus again, "I-It wouldn't hurt, plus we would get out of here sooner!"

Khufo cheered, "Splendid! Finish eating you two!"

A plate floated over and landed onto the mat in front of Bowser. He huffed down at it then towards Luigi whose hand was shaking trying to lift the spoon up to his lips.

'Red stained lips'

Bowser shook his head then extended his claw, gesturing for Luigi to give him the spoon. The tiny man looked confused, but hesitantly gave it to him. Bowser scooped up a spoonful and lifted it towards Luigi's lips.

Luigi opened his mouth, letting out a small breath before placing his mouth around the spoon and drinking the soup. A bit dripped down to his chin from slightly missing.

Bowser cleared his throat, "T-Try using the other hand."

Luigi nodded taking the spoon back bashfully, his face flushed as he used his left hand to eat.

Prince Khufo pretended not to notice the two and called his servant over, "Coals, did the King and Queen spend the night together?"

"No, your highness. The King slept in his ship."

"Interesting..", he sighed. He sat up and stretched. "I'm going to head there first. Kamek could come with Coals and I just so he can show you two to the balcony."

Bowser nodded. Kamek checked in with him once more and Bowser muttered something to him before the three exited.

Luigi watched them go, noticing a grin on the Prince's face before he slipped out the door.

Bowser's tail was wagging slightly, he finally got to be alone with him yet didn't know entirely why he was happy about that. "How was your rest?"

The Queen was shocked by his sudden interest, but saw the anticipation in the koopa's eyes.

"It was good, T-They bed was nice and soft. I also looked around at the design on the walls and the delicate strokes on the paintings were pretty. H-How was um.. a night on the ship?", He fidgeted.

Bowser blinked at the question and felt his face heat up, "Well, it was...decent. Not much changing. Uhm... I dreamt about the Princess!"

Luigi looked up at him disgustingly confused. He wasn't sure where this conversation was leading to, and didn't want to find out either. But Bowser was lost in reminiscing the dream.

"Her hair was like strands of gold, yet so delicate. Her lips were red like my flaming heart", he gushed.

"Red?", Luigi asked.

"I-I said pink! She had soft pink lips!"

"Uhm... Ok? G-Good to know."

Bowser left out a small sigh of relief, glad he convinced him otherwise. "Then we shared a passionate kiss. I'm telling you Greenie, it was magical..", He lied.

"Right... A little weird, but glad you- uh, enjoyed your night.", He replied. Luigi glanced over and did a double take once he saw Bowser picking at his food.

"Hum- I mean, Greenie. Do you think..."

Luigi tilted his head then blinked once he realized, "N-No! I'm not saying your crush is a bad thing, j-just not the best topic over breakfast? Maybe? But what do I know?! M-Mario and I usually share everything, so I guess it's ok, but we don't share those kinds of- what I mean is that it's fine! I'm fine with it!"

Bowser closed his eyes, "Will you shut up? I'm not talking about....-". He stopped seeing Luigi slump a bit. "I didn't mean to say that.. I was just trying to ask if... You think it's weird that I like humans."

'Humans? Plural...?'

Luigi thought for a moment and saw the large Koopa's scales were tinted with a fiery red, nearly glowing. His eyes stared down at the ground beside him, almost as if he were ashamed of himself.

"No.", he squeaked.

Bowser flinched from the response. "Right, O-Of course not! It's love!"

"Yeah..", Luigi said weakly.

Bowser's tail halted hearing that pain in his voice, it started to gnaw at him. Despite feeling relief from Luigi's acceptance, he still couldn't tell him about what he dreamt or what he did once he woke up from it.

"I'm done.", Luigi said getting up from the table. "You should probably finish up."

"I'll finish it when I want to!", He snapped.

Luigi stepped back, "Sorry..."

'One step forward, two steps back. Why do you keep trying with this monster? He's nothing but trouble.'

'I shouldn't boss him around..'

'Oh please, he'd kill you if you let your guard down. Remember, you're the Princess's stand in puppet. Don't get cocky.'

'But I just want to help'

'He doesn't want it. He doesn't want you. Why do you keep burdening everyone with your fuck-'

"Greenie!"

Luigi snapped back, "Huh?". He felt a sting of pain in his right arm, unaware that he was applying pressure to the indent, a small trickle of blood seeped through the bandages. "I-I.."

Kamek teleported in, "Your majesties, the Prince has set up everything and... Your majesty! Sire, what did you do?!"

"I-It wasn't-"

"He got out of line, I just reminded him of his place."

Kamek furrowed his brows, "He's recovering! Please, sire. Have mercy on him! Your majesty, we need to change those. Come along!"

He took Luigi's other wrist and began pulling him along. The Queen looked back at Bowser confused, "But.."

Bowser shook his head and mouthed 'No.'.

Luigi nodded and headed out the room with Kamek.

'What did I tell you? A damned burden.'

Can Lak3 stop listing things for insane prices so other people not listing their monthlies stop using their pricing as a reference in trades. I know they are a rich player and thus probably super out of touch with how much a regular player earn per day but 900kp for a 400 turnips hatching item with bundle discount and currently in shop is just ridiculous.

In order to show you that we love your Rural Au as much as you do, i have compiled a bunch of asks.

Sorry if you have already answered any of these, i am going to read you IFTW comic after.

How did they become mutants and where is Draxum in this Au?

Did Yoshi work in the navy bc you metioned him working on the farm in his naval uniform?

Why did Yoshi leave? In Raphs ref, it said that he took over most of the out door labour after he left.

Does Yoshi ever go by the name of Splinter?

Is the farm on the outskirts of Tokyo?

Is the farm within human communities or is it in Yokai Villiage?

If it is do the turtles ever have to hide from human passers by?

How do they enter the Yokai Village on their first entry? Assuming that it is above ground, unlike the Hidden City.

Do humans know of it?

Are they welcome/welcomed in Yokai Village as they are mutants and does anyone know that they are?

How do Leo and Usagi first meet? Is it through one of his brothers first?

Why are they frenemies? Other than their catching frogs game?

Is Leo suspicious of him or anyone else in the Yokai Village, like he is in canon?

Do the brothers still learn martial arts/ ninjitsu?

Do they use their training, other than to practice?

Do they use any mystic weapons/have any powers?

Do they know of they anscestors and their destiny?

My apologies that this is super long, you do not need to answer them all in one go. Thank you.

P.S I will most likely have more questions for you once i get these answer and will definitely ask about each one of the brother.

NGL I AM SO EXCITED TO ANSWER ALL OF THESE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE AHHHHHHHHH

I am silly and love this au and I'm glad someone wants to hear me talk about it >:33333OKAY SO SO SO SO In this timeline, there's also a hidden city underneath Tokyo - since Tokyo was one of the bigger cities in Japan at the time ( there's also one underneath the old capital, but it's gotten smaller due to yokai moving to Tokyo).

Draxum is sort of same situation as canon, he's a scientist, he is silly etc etc. Rather than a prophecy though, Draxum (along with lots of other yokai) heard the stirrings of war in the 20s and 30s and decided ' I'm gonna make some super soldiers just in case the human war becomes the yokai's war too '. Captain America type beat. So he illegally made these four mutant turtles and the yokai council did NOT like that at ALL so they have a warrant out for his arrestr (v similar to rise ) and basically Draxum dropped those guys off far, far away from Tokyo and just hoped for the best. I haven't decided if he makes any sort of comeback, I wanna say no because the nature of the au and all but who knows :3333

Yes! So Yoshi acutally is one of the youngest captain's of the navy - which btw fun fact!! After WWI, Britain stepped in and helped Japan build their Navy up a bit since they didn't really have on! So Yoshi ends up being pretty decently ranked while also being fairly young. It helps that he comes from somewhat of a military family, though I haven't really gone too far on his fam's backstory just yet.

He actually ended up being called for duty because Japan was entering WWII, so he just literally leaves to go back to his original posting and all that. He did not end up telling any of the kids except Raph about it because he wanted to protect them but it kinda ends up biting him in the ass later :(

Yoshi himself never actually goes by the name Splinter, but the yokai villagers call him that because they just hate humans ( more on that later, I've actually got a comic for that :D)

The farm is actually pretty far from Tokyo, it's in Northern Japan! They live in the mountains near Aomori prefecture, probably somewhat near Lake Towada but not near enough that there is regular human traffic. The farm itself is up on a nice big hill, so typically they don't have to hide too much. They live sort of in a human farming community, but the neighbors are 15-30 minutes down the road so they truly don't have to hide too often. Yoshi's family owns the land/farmhouse they live in so they don't have to deal with trespassing and all that either.

So the yokai village is surrounded by a huge huge foret, it's kind of like a valley in the middle of the forest that was cleared by Yuichi's family like wayyyy way back. It's only hidden by the forest, I think Yoshi may have found it because of stories talking about a yokai village or just by chance. The boys first went when they were very very very young (with Yoshi) So they all know the way pretty easily!

Humans don't know if it/visit the village but I think there are definitely some stories going around.

The yokai welcome the turtles, they believe they are yokai as well ( the boys also think they are yokai), however Yoshi is not entirely welcome. The village really does not trust him and they sort of pity the boys for 'having to live with him'.

I actually have a comic for their first meeting: here. they're just frenemies because they didn't exactly like each other upon first meeting, plus Leo knows Yuichi doesn't like Yoshi and all that. However, Leo likes spending time with Yuicihi and considers him his best friend! They have a complicated friendship and also Leo might just have a crush on him later :3

Leo is a lot more trustworthy of other people in this au, probably because of the nature of how Yoshi found them and all. Raph is the more suspicious one of the group. Leo also grew up around the yokai village so he finds it a very nice, friendly place!

they don't know any martial arts, have mystic powers or do any training. Truly their lives are just ' farm, have fun and enjoy life as it is'. Plot wise, they all have their own goals and perception of their life. They all have complicated feelings about Yoshi not being around, about the war ( whn they learn about it) and about their futures. They don't really have any destiny to speak of (except for what Draxum wanted for them). They also don't know anything about their family - Yoshi has kept it from them on purpose because he doesn't want what remains of his family to find out about them. He also had a wife that passed away and they don't know anything about her

SORRY FOR THE HUGE HUGE HUGE WALL OF TEXT I GOT SO SO SO EXCITED TO ANSWER THESE BECAUSE AUFREJNEF this au lives in my head RENT FUCKING FREEEE
