hi! Saw the inbox was open, and wondering if I could slide in with a rise donnie boy x readerone-shot..
So essentially- donnie is STEM smart right? What if- what if reader was the opposite, like lit/history smart? Like, reads a lot, and almost never puts there book down, even when people talk to them (puts it down for donnie and gives him their full attention tho-) knows a lot about almost any point in history and adores archeology. (The only thing they understand when donnie goes science mode is biology.)
And so what if- what if reader, who's oblivious to almost everything and is a huge hopeless romantic bc of ✨️books✨️, decides to try and come up with ideas to ask donnie out in a more STEM way? But like, before they can donnie sees the list and is just like "smh ur math is atrocious/aff" and then fluffy stuff yaknow??
Lol sorry, went on a tangent. Anywhizzle, love ur writing! Don't forget to take a break, stretch and get some food and water if you need to!Have a good morning/evening/night!!! :))
U + Me = Date?
(this took a minute, but it’s such a fun and sweet request that I had a wonderful time with! Tysm, and please make sure that you’re taking care of yourself as well! Enjoy! Request guidelines are located here btw) Word Count: 2371
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything on earth has a niche, a designated function it gets to act out, a role it gets to fill. The Cape May Warbler, Bay-Breasted Warbler, and Yellow-Rumped Warbler have the top middle and bottom of a spruce tree to eat in, respectively. Humanity has its niche of expansion, whether it be out through the globe or up in towering metropolises.
If you had to specify your niche, it would just about have to be reading. Now, of course your life is filled with numerous aspirations, but your multifarious interests can all be classified under your affinity for books.
Any form of literature, thrillers, epics, romance novels, they all did it for you, enveloped the entirety of your attention in an immersive world.
That was without a doubt: they entertained you. 
At least, they made you feel inspired to do things, take action in your personal life, possibly commit to confessing certain feelings to a certain softshell turtle. Actually committing to the bit, though, was a completely different story.
In the extensive library you had under your belt, there were many a meet cute and innovative confession. However, just because it worked out in literature, it didn’t mean that you could actually do it. What if it ended up weird or cringe or downright friendship shattering?
The status quo was comfortable, subsisting off of shared time in your turtle-in-question’s lab, the two of you simultaneously performing your own tasks. You would sit and enrich yourself with a book, Donnie would tinker until he had something that piqued his interest, which happened rather frequently, and your attention would suddenly be on him. It was simple. It worked. Taking action could complicate things.
So, your inspiration remained squandered by doubt, an inkling of hope staying concealed internally.
At least, inspiration wouldn’t make anything occur unprompted, and, luckily, that nudge came swiftly.
Earlier, as you were straight chilling in a cozy bean bag chair in the lair’s living room, you saw Donnie enter the room out of your peripheral vision. However, he only seemed like a purple blur because your attention was on the thick, dense book sitting on your lap. The cover was of a similar slickness and feel to that of a textbook, the size was as well, but this read was solely for entertainment. The content could practically be summed up as history of the entire world, i guess but fleshed out with more anecdotes and primary sources.
You had been soaking in a finely written excerpt entailing early hominid tool use, accompanied by an image of a related artifact, when you felt a presence leaning over your shoulder. You opted to continue your train of thought through the lines until you heard a familiar timbre clear its throat behind you. With a sigh, you placed a finger on your spot and faced one Donatello.
“Something the matter?” You blinked slowly.
“Oh, nothing,” he shrugged, expression seeming intentionally cool, “just checking out the book choice for today.”
You lifted the book from your lap to display the contents to him.
His eyes skimmed over the page before he grinned slightly. “Ah, prehistoric archaeology? I could dig it.”
You pursed your lips, trying to keep your thought from spilling out of your mouth before ultimately giving in to your amusing whims. “Leo ahh humor.”
Donnie gaped. “Gasp, you wound me. I rescind my statement and shall not be partaking in any archaeological reading-slash-discussion with you.”
“I’m just messing around, ‘Tello. I can dabble in some crude wordplay.”
“Crude?”
“Crude. Heck, I’d bargain to say that was more archaic than the sector of human history I’m in right now, and they don’t even have wheels.”
He raised a curious brow, visibly less offended. You could work with that.
“Rather intriguing. Care to join me?” You patted the ample space on the bean bag next to you.
Curiously, he stared at you, then the space you were offering, and back, before slipping beside you.
“Care to enlighten me on this subject?” he parried, and with a grin, you were off, describing the main theme of the page, the early development of primates and humans, as well as outside archaeological examples that you knew of, the whole nine yards.
As you rambled on, you locked eyes with him occasionally, and his eyes were intrigued saucers every time you did. It made something in your brain click.
He played along with your banter. He was sitting right beside you, absorbing your words so vehemently and genuinely and ohmigosh this guy of all people wouldn’t judge you for trying something that could be weird. Heck, he’s a fanatic of oddities, anything mystic or scientific, so if he didn’t like you asking him out, at the very least he’d admire the effort. So, you were inspired to try something, finally take some action.
You were going for it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You set to work on your asking-out endeavor as soon as you arrived home.
At first you tried looking at STEM-related pickup lines.
Sardonically, of course. You wanted something that got your point across without seeming too vulnerable, something you could play off in the scenario you got completely and irrevocably rejected.
“I less than three you… That’s not that bad,” you scrolled through the results of your search, perched at your kitchen table.
You only made it down the list to ‘the square root of all my fantasies is you’ until you actually needed to call it quits on that route. There was a fine line between being intentionally corny and the monstrosity that was that line.
So you took the next completely logical leap: concocting a page full of intricate mathematical and scientific questions, the answers of which spelled out an encrypted message.
It was the sane thing to do. 
4  1  20 5          20 15 13  15  18  18 15 23 ?
D  A  T  E          T   O   M   O   R   R  O  W ?
You scribbled the message on a scrap piece of paper. You entertained the idea of writing a whole sentence, but just these two words covered the gist clearly and concisely. Plus, coming up with questions for only two words was enough to melt your brain.
“Limit as x approaches sixteen of the square root of x… equals… yeah, four. That works,” you mumbled. “One down,” you sucked in a deep breath, “eleven to go. Crud.”
The next few hours blended together aimlessly, riddled with just about every mathematical scenario you could conjure up. Sure, derivatives and Planck’s Constant and the unit circle (the bane of your existence) were all ambitious topics to have on the totally inconspicuous worksheet, but, to quote a phrase, go big or go home. When in Rome also works.
By the time you reached ungodly hours in the night, you had curated a functional way to surprise and ask out your best friend. With your brain oozing out of your ears, you put the paper somewhere safe and collapsed face down on your bed.
You would have mentally prepared yourself to give him the paper tomorrow if not for the calculus-derived headache already splitting your mind.
Instead, you immediately dozed off.
You could deal with the minutiae of tomorrow… tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day when you waltzed into the lair, he was conveniently seated at the desk in his lab.
“Heya D! I come bearing gifts.” You presented him with the paper as coolly as you could, keeping all the panic and nerves internal, and took up the chair beside him.
“A calculus sheet?” He grinned. “You shouldn’t have.”
After a moment of looking at it, however, his eyes dimmed and smile lessened. “...You shouldn’t have.”
You faltered. “Oh, gosh, is it that bad?”
“Which letter corresponds with negative one?”
“What?” you exclaimed. “Oh nononono no, I checked my math like five times, it’s not even possible-”
“The derivative of cosine theta is negative sine theta. Not positive. Simple mistake, really. It was a valiant effort of- whatever you were trying to do.”
You blinked, smacked your lips. Well, that was the end of that. You would just take your leave and move out of the city and change your name and never feel anything again. Easy.
“Just forget I did anything, forget this paper exists- like, what paper even?” You reached for the sheet of paper only for him to use the mechanical extensions on his battle shell to hold it out of your reach.
“No, my interest is piqued,” he smirked. You could almost feel the mischievousness emanating from him. “I will gladly continue, if you do not mind.”
You complied and sat stiffly, anxiously glancing about the lab, until you saw him pick up a utensil and start marking on the paper.
“Are you correcting it with a pen? Are you seriously grading this right now?” you muttered. You weren’t mad, just thoroughly panicked.
He stopped writing momentarily. “What? No, not grading, per say. This is just how I’m deciphering this.”
You knew that tone and you knew that was a lie. 
“I- ugh,” you flopped your head down on his desk and closed your eyes. “Just tell me when you’re done fixing it. I spent a needlessly long amount of time on this just for it to be terrible.”
He didn’t deny that it was terrible, though you excused that to him being busy and hopefully not him agreeing.
Although, with how quickly his pen was scratching marks on the page, the latter seemed more feasible.
You focused on taking deep, steadying breaths, relaxing to the sounds of the busy pen until it suddenly stopped.
Lifting your head from its place, you saw he had completely stilled, staring at the paper with wide eyes and upturned lips.
“What? Did you spot another comically egregious mistake?” you mumbled, halfway intrigued.
He took another few seconds to answer you. “Something like that.” And with that nothingness of an answer, he started writing again, much more fervently.
“Okay then.” You went to put your head down again before he slammed the paper down before you.
“Boom! Here is the revised and finalized version of the worksheet,” he grinned.
You narrowed your eyes at the comments about your inability to include units, corrections on when something was supposed to be negative, but the markings at the bottom of the page were what caught your attention the most.
When you looked at the corner of the page, you saw an odd combination of zeros and ones. 
01101111 01101000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 
“Actually, what is this?” You gestured to the code.
“It’s my response.”
“And you had to put it in binary?”
“You’re the one who wanted to talk in codes.” He sounded frustratingly nonchalant.
“Yeah, but-” you considered asking him to directly tell you, but maybe this was slightly less nerve wracking. Ripping off the bandaid be darned, you took the coward’s way out and pulled out your phone. “Man, I let you get away with way too much stuff. Has this interaction not dragged on painstakingly enough?”
“The greater the hardship, the greater the reward,” he commented with a shrug.
That pleasant surprise of a response made you copy the ones and zeros faster into the binary decoding website you’d searched up.
Just as you had everything in and your finger steadied over the button that would tell you what he was saying, you hesitated, steadied yourself with a deep breath, and hit it.
Nothing could have prepared you for the rush of adrenaline and euphoria that washed over you at seeing his answer.
“Ohmigosh, you’re serious?! Because you cannot be joking like this, Donatello.”
“As the plague.” One of his hands rested on his chest, the other was in the air as if taking an oath.
“Haha, yes!” you cheered, spinning the desk chair you were in. The late night and headache had paid off, and it felt great!
“So, where am I accompanying you tomorrow?” He mused.
Immediately, you paused. You’d only spent time thinking about the part where you ask him out, not the actual going out part.
“Where? Uhh, I hadn’t really gotten to that point of the planning stage.”
“You were too focused on biffing a math paper to actually plan out its intended purpose?”
“Yeah, not my brightest decision, nor my best work. It was a rather dumb decision on my behalf.”
“You are a dum-dum, but just because of how needlessly complex you made this, not because of your mathematical errors.”
“I genuinely don’t know if I should take offense to that or not.”
“Maybe you should be thinking about where we’re going tomorrow? Just a thought.”
You clicked your tongue. “Fine, uhh coffee?”
“A little trite for a first date, no?” Donnie propped his elbow up on the desk and rested his chin on his hand, smiling widely.
“Okay then, coffee and we go to the library?”
“Don’t we normally do that anyway? What about it makes it a ‘da-”
“Donnie, I am running on fumes from making the erroneous atrocity that is that worksheet last night. If you don’t have any suggestions, coffee at the library works. If you have a contribution, go right ahead.” You put your hands up in surrender.
Donnie’s smugness faded slightly and he lightly nudged your elbow. “Coffee at the library sounds great. And for what it’s worth, I appreciate that you tried to do something innovative. It was truly a highly admirable effort.”
“Thanks, D.”
“Of course.  But from now on, let’s leave the math to the professionals.”
There it was again: the sass.
“Oh, that’s a low blow.” You shook your head, still smiling.
“A low blow would be mentioning how you confused the natural logarithm for a standard logarithm. You see, when you have e to the power of…”
The corrections and banter flourished on from there, the both of you giggling and getting mockingly, lightheartedly angry with each other.
Despite your interests in different subjects, the two of you understood each other. It was wonderful to have a partner that you could be niche with wherever and whenever.
It was almost worth all the math and science it took to get there.
(I actually made inconspicuous math worksheet that reader made for Donnie, and it is linked HERE!)

Maybe it’s me shipping Donnie and Mona (wheres my IDW fans at !) would it be ok to request Yandere 12 Donnie and rise Donnie falling for mutant lizard reader ? (You can chose what type of lizard she can be ~) love to see what u come up with !
I chose Argentine Black and White Tegu bcs I love Tegus so much-
Tw: 2012 Donnie was being dumb about food and spits it out cuz he hates it-, mention of kidnapping, 2012 Donnie becomes delusional at some point-, Rise Donnie tries to control diet (not like proportions but food groups)
2012 Donald
Honestly, the initial development of obsession isn't much different, other than that he'll try to learn everything about your species' biology and behaviours. (DO NOT SEARCH UP B+W TEGU COURTSHIP HABITS)
From there he'll try to woo you using said courtship habits- except the one thing that's cursed.
He doesn't notice this, but he starts decorating things in a black and white pattern- hell- bro might make his newest inventions tegu-themed rather than turtle-themed.
Fun fact: Tegus are one of the more affectionate reptiles. And he will use it to his advantage. If you show him too much friendliness he'll become delusional and think you like him back a bit.
Since Tegus loves meat and fruits, he'll try to eat more meat/fruits to seem like "a worthy dude to date" type shit. Istg you could literally see him eating those foods way more than he usually does all of the sudden.
The biggest thing is he'll try to use your biology to get you to like him while doing his other yan behaviours ofc.
"Hey, Y/n!" Donnie greets, eating a bowl of some food.
"Hey. What are you eating?" They mutter as they lean over a bit to peer down into the bowl. Their tongue flicks in-and-out a bit, expressing that they're comfortable in their current environment.
"Oh haha-" He chuckles confidently, perhaps even cockily, "Just some chicken and mango." He eats another spoonful of the food, trying his absolute best to look cool in front of his crush.
The lizard mutant raises an eyebrow muscle in confusion, "Isn't that...An odd food combination for you?" They notice he grimaces just the slightest bit when the food touches his mouth.
"Nah~ I'm enjoying this a lot! It's the perfect sweet and salty~" Internally he was gagging, he did not like this combination. But he lived with it, all in hopes the Tegu in front of him would seem him as a more appealing guy.
"Ok, whatever you say, dude." They walk off, heading to where Mikey was to see what crazy ideas he was up to.
As soon as they were out of eyesight, Donnie opened his mouth to let the food that was sitting in his mouth be spat out again. "Ugh...I should have picked a better combination..."
——————————————————
Rise Diana
Again not super different in terms of the initial yan development. But, there are a few differences.
I think the biggest thing is when you're shedding. He is more protective and is careful no one disturbs the process (unless if you actually request help). If he's kidnapped you, then he'll force you to soak in a tub that he's made- (nothing weird ofc).
He's also very strict about you eating foods that are strictly similar to your Tegu diet. Sure he makes a few exceptions, but he's pretty pushy about having you eat food groups pertained to your animal part's biology. (Ex. no dairy)
Similar to 2012 Donnie he'll try to do SOME of the courtship things, but only if he's comfortable with them. Because he is not as desperate as 2012 Donnie is. (Sorry I had to say it) But- he will try his own methods more to get you to like him.
His favourite thing to do is give you small little metalwork gifts with a Tegu theme. And perhaps a turtle and Tegu with hearts around them.
Overall, much tamer in terms of differences compared to 2012 Donnie. He's just strict about following your biology make-up (without it being too weird to the human world ofc. You're not completely feral lmao)
Donnie was in his lab, creating a gift for his beloved with his metalwork skills. He was currently creating a small key chain, with a tegu and turtle sitting by side with a big heart above them as a charm for the key chain. He did the metalwork, and he could probably paint it himself, but he wanted it to be perfect, so he'll ask his brother, Mikey to do it for him.
"Hm...The shape is still not satisfactory." He mumbles to himself as he tweaks the shape of the turtle's head. This was a gift for his dear, and he ensured himself he needed it to be perfect, and that's what he'll serve.
He could already imagine their little tongue flicking in joy when he presents it to them. As his work was nothing short but absolute perfection. He always found their tongue-flicking adorable, not that he would outwardly admit it though.
"Dearest love of mine, I hope you love my admiration for you." He whispers to himself, trying to hype himself up for the time he would gift them the key chain.
And what more couldn't be cuter than a reptile couple?
——————————————————
Yay- I got this done under an hour-
I heart B+W Tegus so much.

If you're not okay with questions feel free to delete this but damn I am intrigued in your redline thingy
1. What kind of turtles are they? Raph seems to be an albino variant of some sort and I know that in the photo thing Leo was suggested to be a hybrid but goddamn I love biology
2. It's very interesting that yall are going with the red masks for all of them approach. Is there any reasoning behind it or just for funsies? In any case it's very unique just like every other aspect of their designs!
3. So like. I love that your Splinter is a lady???? Rat mama ftw???? But how specifically did she get mutated and what the hell is going on between the Hamatos and the Foot Clan bc god I love the drama those guys got going on in tmnt
No pressure if you answer or not!! Love y'all's work and wish y'all a happy February!
You are so sweet! @0ddbugs and I are totally open for questions and we appreciate all the interest and love we've been getting!! 💖
0dd answered this one here
2 and 3.
Rat mama is Tang Shen! The woman who is extremely important to most Hamato Yoshi's but also usually dead in most iterations of tmnt.
We wondered what she would've been like as a mother for them.
Tumblr media
2012 made us want this concept even more when they got to meet her.
Shen is the backbone of Redline. We made her story before we even had the boys designed.
Any way the way she was mutated was mentioned by me here.
But basically these two disgruntled scientists were trying to create mutagen for different reasons. They had a very limited supply and decided, drunkenly, to go test it on animals at the college.
Tumblr media
Perry and Baxter
Shen was in another room that held a rat when she heard them break in. We had a joke in our first draft for the comic that she left her baton with the rat because she's a martial arts master and felt she needed it more.
Tumblr media
When she got to the room with the turtles and the men, the turtles had already been stuck by Perry with his samples of mutagen. Baxter, in self defense, stuck Shen with the only other sample of mutagen he was holding.
Tumblr media
Being that the last thing she touched was the rat in the other room, she mutated into one. The turtles were last touched by her (the two had gloves on).
There's some stuff about Baxter and Perry we really dont wanna talk about til we get to it in the comic so it'll have to wait. I'm sorry. :,D
Tumblr media
Their red masks are cut from an old scarf that belonged to her late husband, Hamato Yoshi. As they didn't get to meet him, she cut the scarf in fours so they'd all have a gift from him.
Tumblr media
Her past is also mostly a secret but to simplify, Splinter and Shredder are bitter exes.
We can't wait to post more Redline, and we have the first comic coming within this month. Thank you!! I hope you have a good February as well!!

Saw this tag game on another post and thought I'd do it (idk if I've done it before, maybe something similar, but my answers will be different anyway)
1. Were you named after anyone?
Nope My chosen name (Allister) however, is from a youtuber who has a very cool name and I stole it (Alasdair Beckett-King, very funny videos and he has great hair too). I adapted it a bit so people in Spain would at least have an idea of how to pronounce it at first glance (hopefully) It has nothing to do with any Crowley (which I did not realize was a thing until recently), tho for a bit I named myself AJ like Good Omens Crowley, but I don't like how it sounds in Spanish...
2. When was the last time you cried?
Last month probably
3. Do you have kids?
No. And I don't want any. I don't dislike them, but it's not for me
4. What sports do you play/have you played?
Judo, karate and football (the indoors kind). All as a kid/teen. Now my brother and I walk every week day and go up and down stairs (when we remember...) One day I want to try to go to a gym to get some muscle, but not too much, just a bit of definition. Also, I'd enjoy doing rock climbing, but not competitive climbing or anything like that
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Sometimes
6. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Irl: the way they move their face and hands when they speak, which then I subconsciously use to recognize people, bc I'm a bit face blind Online: the way they choose to express themselves
7. What's your eye color?
Gray/light blue on the outside and artichoke green/lime on the inside
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
I like both, but I'd rather watch a happy ending. For scary things I prefer to watch Markiplier's scary games videos
9. Any talents?
I'm VERY good at jigsaw puzzles
10. Where were you born?
East of Spain, by some of the best Mediterranean coasts 😁. I enjoy it here, but one day I'd like to live in the UK, at least for a bit, I think I'd like it there
11. What are your hobbies?
Listening to music, singing, making art (crafting, building, drawing, painting, writing, ...), watching media (shows, panel shows, youtube, twitch), video games (rhythm/dancing, platformer, puzzle... Also minecraft, powerwash sim, potion craft...), going for walks, exercise, learning languages (especially English) If I had any good ones close, I'd go to theatres and museums too. And, if I had money, I'd travel. I'm also slowly learning about taking care of plants
12. Do you have any pets?
Not yet. I'd love to have dogs, cats, frogs, snakes... or anything really. I love animals. But I think cats and frogs would be the best fit for me, considering my personality and current lifestyle I've always wanted a dog, but I've only had a turtle and a hamster
13. How tall are you?
1.63m or 5’3”
14. Favorite subject in school?
Biology and technology
15. Dream job?
Anything that pays me enough to be independent and let me do all my hobbies Although, if I ever have the patience, base skill, and required mental fortitude, I'd go for general robotics and/or prop making (for film and/or theatre)
No pressure tags in no particular order (I tried to tag as many people as I could, but apparently there's a tag limit 😅):
@swamp-communism @they-thespian666 @strongsuits @skelesona @shinekittenace @yeetmewithachainsaw @rockium-z @gordonzola-ramen @vampireopossum @libraryfag @frostytheduck @tetostar @xyrnys @normalscientist @dolltwink @anxi0usgh0st05 @piersgender

what monster do you want to see the dungeon mehsi crew cook up?
It’s a DND original but this thing.
Tumblr media
A grell… We ate one in a game I was in, almost ate a mind flayer tadpole too (I think they start out living in the brain part like it’s an anemone? I think bc of lore it’s symbiotic but might just be parasitic). I believe in the Dunmeshi party they can make it work… Marcille will never mentally recover
Beyond that, all my favorite monsters got eaten already... Except trolls. Listen, fine ok they don’t exist, but it’d be fun if they successfully ate a troll turned that’s turned into stone, like scraping off some minerals like it’s salt or something lmaoo. They never ate shapeshifter either, prob boring but like, raccoon meat? Can’t remember if they ate the changeling mushrooms either.
Thinking of other dnd monsters I was gonna say kobold and immediately realized my mistake lmaoo- I ALSO have eaten some kobolds in a dnd game, but TO BE FAIIRRRR in both this one and the grell situation (different campaigns) we were starving. With the kobolds we got food poisoning… But I do think it would have been interesting to see a demihuman like mermaids… Laios and senshi going up to Kabru like "hey if you had to cut up a humanoid how would you do it" "Well i’d start with the ribcage and- WAIT WHY" Would it taste more like fish or more like human… A question Laios would crave an answer for, for academic purposes of course of course. Fish I’d imagine, but I guess how would they even know if it tastes human… Guess they can ask Senshi lololol WAIT-
Seeing more yokais could have been cool too. Like I think kappa would have been really fun, they’re like turtles and they have special life water on their head. Wonder what Kui would have cooked up for them biology wise… What’s the shape of their skull… Why do they immediately die once dehydrated…
Last one, I don’t want them to eat the poor guy but the azukitogi/azukiarai is a soft spot yokai of mine, it’s literally just a creepy little old man demon who washes beans by a river all day, like that’s what they do. Senshi forget Anne I got a buddy for you

GOOD DAD DRAXUM AU GOOD DAD DRAXUM AU!!!! + Villain turtles (?)
So basically, what if Lou Jitsu didn't manage to snatch the turtles and they were raised by Baron Draxum
He's very very bad at parenting at first (he has exactly 0 knowledge on handling children)
Munnin and Huggin to the rescue!! (They don't know anything about parenting either but they do have something Barry lacks - common f-cking sense)
He was so happy his experiment worked out, he forgot to plan a bit ahead. In his mad scientist haze, he disregarded the fact he actually had to raise the specimens he made...
Actually their sentience was an accident! Draxum wanted mindless weapons (i physically cringed at that lol lfls gave me trauma), maybe pets, def not children. So at first he wasn't too happy with the outcome. But after realizing the possibilities their sentience opened, he was ecstatic, bragging to everyone that his experiment worked even better than planned.
He reads a lot of parenting books 👍
Barry has troubles with empathy, but he makes it up with a deep understanding of psychology and biology. He strives to bring out the most out of every turtle, so he tries to choose those training methods, that would actually WORK.
He read somewhere that children need physical touch at least four times a day to develop properly. He doesn't know what a hug is, so four times a day he just. Picks his children weapons up and holds them for a minute awkwardly. He eventually learned to be more casual when picking them up, but it took a while.
When the tots were still in their baby form, Draxum carried them on his shoulders instead of the gargoyles.
The tots really liked to sleep in the dog bed 🥺🥺 /bc of the fireplace/ Munnin and Huggin didn't mind, they either tried to squeeze themselves next to the turtles, or they just slept hanging upside down from something (like bats), keeping an eye on them.
They reclaim their bed happily when Draxum builds the tots a terrarium though.
Honestly those two go from evil henchmen to fulltime nannies in the matter of days and they enjoy it a lot, surpisingly.
The turtles enjoy Lou Jitsu movies very much, and they compare themselves to him all the time. He's basically their idol and they dream of meeting their DNA-dad. They idolize Lou even more than in canon, since they know that he's related to them from the get go.
Mike painted him on a cardboard. Now they have real life sized Lou Jitsu cardboard cutout just vibing around the house.
Draxum deems art an useless skill and a waste of time. So he and Mikey get into fights about it all the time.
Draxum may be emotionally distant, but he's much more interested in the boys' lives than Splinter ever was. Which, okay, it's good for the most part, but it shows to be problematic if his ideals don't align with the turtle's actions.
Donnie is his least favorite, only because he sees himself in the softshell too much and it makes him uncomfortable.
Mikey is his favorite, actually (because of the EXTREME potential he's hiding) but that just means he gets the most shit from Draxum, honestly.
The boys are muchhh much more rebellious and uh... morally questionable than in canon.
Remember lair games? Yeah. Remember when Leo accidentally caused Don to twist his ankle? Yeah. Let's just say, it wouldn't exactly be accidental in this AU.
Turtles have a deep dislike of humans, mostly caused by Draxum's views on them. They stick to the Undercity for the most part, unless they sneak out to NYC to cause some chaos. That's how they meet April, actually.
Yeah, they're not friends in this AU. Arch nemesis would be more accurate. Especially with Donnie. They hate each other with a burning passion.
"Stop mutating innocent citizens!!!" "Make me, hummie! (sfx: madman laugh)"
Yes turtles are personally involved in mutation of the villains from the show. I will not be elaborating.
Usagi and Gen are very important figures in this AU :DD probably as important as April and Splinter, honestly. (And i may or may not bring Jei into it as well... Still thinking about it)
I have more ideas but then this post would be insufferably long i mean its pretty long as it is

How do the turtles feel about sunita?
They're all really chill with her!
Raph likes her more when she's calm then super excited, but she knows to contain herself around him.
Leo loves her as long as she doesn't get more of April's attention then he gets.
Donnie has a sort of friendly rivalry with her, bc he's all science and she is a yokai, aka ALL ABOUT Dat mystic magic. He also wants to study her but her form/biology makes no sense and it drives him crazy
Mikey thinks she's dope asf if not a little stupid, definitely throws stuff in her to laugh when it gets stuck

Leo and the dragon part 2
I kind of wanted to continue but with some smut thrown in lol. (Also let me know if anyone wants to know more about my headcanons for dragons and mermaids in this universe either here or on my main blog). Check my masterlist for part 1 bc I feel like tumblr been blocking my posts with links the past 2 weeks.
Summary: It's spring time and the turtles are dealing with mating season. A friend offers help to Leo.
Rating: IT'S SMUT!! NC-17 WHATEVER NO KIDS ALLOWED. Also everyone here is like in their early to mid 20s including the dragon!
Warnings: uuuh, biting, feral Leo, some blood mention?
Tag for: @turtle-babe83 @thelaundrybitch @leosgirl82 @madammuffins @sharpwindow @m1dnyt3-w0lf @scholastic-dragon @tinkabelle19 @pheradream-15 @dilucsflame33 (lemme know if you wanna be on this list or off of it!)
Enjoy
After resolving the mystery of mysterious creature plaguing New York Amoxtli found herself right at home with the turtles. She enjoyed their shenanigans and Raph enjoyed challenging her to spar sessions often.
The first time it happened they found out that Amoxtli was in fact a warrior princess. The superior strength now joined with hundreds of years of practice with spears, Macuahuitl and other weapons gave her an edge that brought a variety into their training sessions.
Meanwhile Donnie was excited to find everything he could on dragon culture and biology. Leo felt he needed to protect their newest friend from his brother. Amoxtli didn't mind though. She would answer honestly or when she didn't want to say something side step the truth to her best abilities.
"I can't lie," she explained to Leo one day. "I can omit the truth but I cannot outright lie. On the upside I can also tell when someone is lying to me."
But she never seemed to mind to be around his family. She held a reverence for Splinter as the elder of their family. She always had a good laugh around the brothers but rarely joined the shenanigans. She sucked at video games but still tried to play against them. It pleased Leo how well she interacted with everyone.
"They are wonderful. You are all so open and close as family and you all care so much for each other," she told him at a different time. "I miss my older brother watching you all."
"Well, if he ever decided to come to you world, he is welcome in the lair," Leo replied, watching with her as Raph and Donnie were trying to trick Mikey out of his pizza slices.
"That's nice of you but he's dead," she said with her usual bluntness causing Leo to find himself at a loss for words.
Through summer to late autumn Amoxtli was visiting them regularly. During winter months it slowed down as she hated cold and it was harder to drag her out of her own apartment. The last time Leo saw her the multiple layers of her clothing she wore to be able to visit almost turned her into a ball. Not very different from all those videos of bundled up toddlers. Mikey tried to see if he could roll her. He almost succeeded.
Leo found himself missing her a lot. Her poise and dry, a bit odd sense humour. Her wide smile when she'd do something that made others laugh or if she did something good. Her confusion listening to Donnie but at the same time fascination with all things science-y.
Leo often would find her, frowning with an empty, slightly glazed eyes after such sessions.
"Are you okay?" He asked her one time amused.
"I think my brain is evaporating," she replied in such deadpanned way making him laugh.
"You're not the only one," he snickered, reassuring her.
He missed their talks. She struggled a lot with her position, the future that was expected of her. He related to that. They would spend hours talking what would they do if they just could. Sometimes she'd fall asleep on his shoulder and he'd carry her to his bed, while he'd sleep on the couch.
He missed seeing her watching Mikey cook. She once tried to help but as a result received a similar ban to Leo on entering the kitchen.
"I am really sorry about that pan," she told Leo later. "I could get him another one..."
It took a truly amazing cup of hot chocolate prepared by her to unban her entry.
Leo found himself listening for the tale tell clinking of her jewellery in the sewer tunnels that would announce her arrival. Sometimes he caught himself looking for the red tips of her feathers in the crowd. He tried to drop by her work a few times but due to the cold Amoxtli got herself shorter shifts.
The usual snow storms eventually completely cut her her 'outside' time to zero.
"Missing your girlfriend, Leo?" Donnie teased him once. "Wow, this feels so good to do that. Is this why you guys tease me so much about it?"
Leo snorted. "She's not my girlfriend, we are just... Very good friends. She's a princess."
"Yeah one who can bench press Raph and lay all four of us on a mat," Donnie pointed out.
"How's your mermaid girlfriend?" Leo changed the subject quickly.
"She's great! She's somewhere off the coast of Africa and found another merfolk village-" and that was enough to launch Donnie into an info dump of all the things he found out recently.
Leo politely stuck around listening to it. So much easier than talking about Amoxtli.
Then spring came around. After a round of usual shots Donnie made for them to manage their mating season better, Leo was excited to see his draconic friend again. To see those pitch black eyes and smell the shampoo. He imagined her stroll into the lair then them going in for a spar and then- hold a fucking second. Leo shook his head. Maybe seeing Amoxtli during the season wasn't a good idea...
"Hey, Donnie, uh, is you know the shot working for you?" He decided to check with his brother.
"Yeah. Mikey and Raph show positive reaction to the improved formula. Now that we're older I had to make it bit stronger. Especially for these two." Donnie grimaced a little. "Is something wrong with it for you?"
"Nope, all is good," Leo lied and quickly evacuated the lab.
It really didn't seem like anything else was wrong with him. He didn't experience heightened aggression or territorial instincts... He remembered one time Raph managed to avoid Donnie. The red terrapin got way to rough in the dojo almost breaking everything. They all had to hold him down for the shot...
But no, Leo was fine. Except for when he thought of his friend. It felt shameful. She didn't deserve him thinking of her like that. She was a proud warrior, a princess and a hundreds years old dragon.
"Seriously Leo get yourself together!!" He thought to himself.
One time, by the end of summer April invited them all to a cabin for vacation. Splinter encouraged them saying it would be good to recharge their batteries, maybe find new training techniques. Leo invited Amoxtli with them. There she showed them all her full form. They all had been gathering their jaws from the floor. She went from a 5 feet nothing woman, to the 33 feet tall humanoid, winged snake to a 20 feet wide, hundreds feet tall, with not 1 but 3 sets of feathery wings dragon. Leo thought to himself she was the most beautiful and terrifying thing he had ever seen. And according to her she was on a smaller side.
She offered them to fly them around. He, Mikey, Donnie and Casey took her on that. April, Master Splinter and Raph stayed on the ground. It was amazing. Exhilarating. Even if it was like a minute. They didn't want to risk too much. He remembered how happy and bouncy Amoxtli was after that.
His memory focused on how the top of her exposed her toned stomach. Her hair moving around, brushing over that long neck. Leo bit his lips. Fuck. What was wrong with him?
Then she came for a visit. Leo heard the excited yells from the main area. Mikey's greetings, Raph immediately jumping to get her to spar with him. Donnie probably waved from his work station. Leo took a deep breath in. Alright, calm down. Calm down. He exhaled.
She was there. Smiling at his brothers. Leo felt something boiling inside of him. When he looked up at his hand he noticed he crushed the doorframe. He took his hand away as if it burned. Fuck. He couldn't go and see her like that.
Meditation. Meditation would help him.
But Amoxtli noticed the lack of her friend among his brothers. She missed him the most during those cold winter months.
"Where's Leo?" She asked.
"Eh, Fearless is probably in his room being broody leader." Raph shrugged.
"I'll go check on him," she announced and immediately went towards Leo's room.
"Good luck!" Mikey hollered. The orange and red clad turtles snickered and fist bumped.
Amoxtli ventured into Leo's room, knocking politely.
"Can I come in?" She asked.
Leo's head snapped upward. He managed to steady himself for a little while with his meditation. Now she was here. He jumped up to his feet.
"Hi, uh," he called back, hesitating, looking around his pristine room. "I have a mess here!" He said, fully knowing she could tell he lied.
It gave her a pause. "Is something wrong?"
"No! No, everything is fine!" He tried.
"Leo..."
"I know!" He groaned. "I'm sorry."
"Do you want me to go away?" She sounded hurt.
Did he? "No, but if I see your right now, I might do something I'm not proud of," he replied. That was the truth.
"Like what? Do you want to talk about it?"
"Yes," he replied. He took a deep breath in. He could control himself, he could control everything. "Come in."
The door open and she stepped inside. Leo wasn't prepared. Somehow she opted today to wear more modern outfit. Her blue scales took on a shape of a wrap dress with a V neck. A cute bow tied around her waist. It was shorter than her usual skirt, the slit exposing her legs from about knee height. Amoxtli wasn't curvy but it still hugged her nicely. She even wore light blue heels, making her legs longer.
She noticed his look. "It was warm today and I saw a dress like this in a magazine. I thought it was nice," she explained sheepishly, swooshing the skirt of the dress a little..
He thought it was very nice too. His brain immediately supplied him with an idea of pushing it up or untying it like a present. With his teeth. "Breathe Leonardooo, breatheeee," he mentally scolded himself.
She closed the door behind her, separating them both from the lair.
"You look very nice," he managed to say, his mouth feeling dry.
"So, what's wrong?" She as usual went straight to the problem.
He sat on his bed and offered her a chair to keep a reasonable distance between them.
"Um, well," he started unable to look her in the eye. "It's spring, uh." He felt the need to change subject. "Do... do dragons have mating seasons?"
"Well... yes and no," she replied but tilted her head confused. "Only mated couples experience those usually until the first offspring is born, or egg is laid. Then their drive to mate lowers to managable levels, though I have been told it can vary from case to case."
"Mated couples?"
"Oh yes! Dragons mate for life, there's this whole beautiful ritual of soul tying. It's just amazing," she sighed delighted at the memory. "It's very special because finding your soulmate is the only way to reproduce. We live long but we don't have that many youngs because of it. But we can mate with just about any race outside of our own, which is a plus!" She explained.
He listened but at the same time his eyes were drawn to her knees, the way she held her legs together and the V-neck of her dress. He could just kneel in front of her and- he coughed and looked away. Boy was it getting hot in here or-. At the same time he scolded himself. Sex must have been so special for her species.
"That's why young dragons generally date around and copulate for fun to educate themselves and find a suitable mate later in life," she continued, dropping unknowingly bomb on his head.
"What?"
"My peers often had sex among each other for fun. I find it very similar to how humans are, minus the stigma and shame. It's just something we do to pass time," she added.
"Oh."
"I wasn't much for those though, uh, I'm very short for a female,. So they rarely invited me," she continued, looking at her hands," and I always found the need to at least like someone a little bit in those scenarios. I just don't understand how can you fuck someone and not be at least friends with them!"
He recognized the signs that she was rambling now. She tented to do that when agitated or nervous.
Leo slipped off of his bed. Like in that interrupted fantasy he knelt in front of her. There was something he learned from her all these months ago. Dragons in human shape were extremely easy to bruise. Or kill. That's why one had always do one thing.
"Can I touch you?"
Ask permission.
She looked at him, shocked, her eyebrows up and her crest flared up.
"Oh." She blinked. "Do... do turtles have mating seasons?"
He nodded.
"Oh," she looked to the close doors then to him. "Yes, you can."
Before he lost it completely. "Is this your first time?"
She shook her head. "No."
That was all he needed.
He lifted his hand to her legs. Her light brown skin paled a little over the winter but not too much. It was still smooth and soft. He kissed just above her knees. He heard her inhale deeply. He kissed the other leg, then slowly parted them for better access. Then he slid his hands upward over her thighs, pushing the dress up and further apart.
Amoxtli never wore underwear. If she needed for sparrings she always morphed her scales around for more appropriate wear. Today was no different.
Leo was already feeling a bit drunk from being able to touch her like that. He could feel her ass in his palms. The dress was hiding nothing now. From the blush he saw on her skin and the tell tale scent of her arousal growing she wasn't going to stop him. Her legs spread further and she slipped a bit lower in the chair.
Leo kissed a path for himself leading to her sex. He noted it didn't look any different from what he saw in porn in human women. She was smooth, with her inner lips poking out through the outer a little. He gave her a lick. She jumped a little but quickly settled.
He noted how she watched him. So he was going to give her a show. He sat more on the ground in more comfortable position and got to work. He kissed her lower lips as if he'd kiss her mouth. He tested her texture on his tongue, tracing the edges, pushing past them and sinking into her. He inhaled her musk and something within him churred pleased. He pushed his tongue into her, exploring her, tasting her further. She was so tight inside, so hot and wet. He felt her legs trembled, fighting him to close around his head. He almost. ALMOST. Let her.
He forced himself to pull out. His tongue traced a trail up, between a hood where her clit waited for him, hidden like a pearl. Or was supposed to be. No what he found were two little buttons. Well... wasn't that a curved ball. But he wouldn't be himself if he didn't think on his feet. He stroked an eight around them then licked like they were delightful ice creams.
Up to that point Amoxtli managed to keep quiet. Her hands were slowly crushing the seat beneath her, permantently embedding herself into the metal frame. Her breathing was quick and a deep blush spread over her chest and face. She never felt like this before. Self pleasure never felt like this before. Oh, gods above. She moaned, throwing her head back, completely surrendering to whatever magics Leo was casting upon her.
Then she felt his digits entering her and something choked inside her to be released in a long moan. But that wasn't all. Leo wasn't done yet. He sucked on her clits, rubbing them at the same time with the flat of his tongue, while his thick finger, hooked up began to pump quickly in and out of her.
She gripped onto his head, the released leg hooked behind his shell. Her peak build within her and when Leo added his second finger inside she cried out her release, last second slapping one hand over her mouth. She whimpered as Leo kept going to a couple seconds, while she rode her orgasm until she pushed him away.
His face was soaked. He was so proud of himself watching her sprawled out before him. He stood up stretching himself a little. They weren't done. And she knew it.
Before he could react Amoxtli grabbed his belt and pulled him to her. The force had him bend down where she captured his lips. With her feet she made him kneel again. Her deft fingers undid his belt and zipper. His pants dropped down and he was pushed further down. She growled at him and Leo never felt more turned on before.
Amoxtli climbed into his lap. Their mouths met again, hungry, frantic. Both fighting for dominance still. Her hands traced over his face to his neck. He finger resting under his chin, where she had a grap on the side of his throat. He gripped her at the back of her hair and pulled down. She rubbed herself over his cock, spreading her juices over him. His mouth fell open, catching breath, as he pulled away from their kiss. He reached down to stroke her and she moaned.
He saw blue scaled peppering her face. Her black, human eyes switching to yellow, reptilian ones. She pushed his head back, keep pushing, keep rubbing onto him. He was breathing heavily, fighting to keep his eyes open. Her mouth slipped over his neck. He felt her kissing a spot, then her tongue. Then her sharp, sharp teeth biting down.
Leo cried out. "Fuck!" He felt himself spill over his stomach.
Dangerous, fucking dangerous, she was. Poised and proper princess but here, now. He saw her. And she was gorgeous.
Leo picked Amoxtli up and pressed her to the wall. He held her legs hooked over his elbows, keeping her open for him to nail. Their eyes met. He was hungry for her. He kissed her like a starving man, sloppy, fast and hard. Then he pushed himself inside her.
She gasped into his mouth. She sank down on his pulling away from the kiss. Leo growled, his hips snapping fast inside her. Her nails - claws, sank into his biceps. Fascinated, she watched how his dick pierced her, fucked her into the wall. She didn't register her own moans anymore. His heat filled her, consumed her.
Leo watched her, so vulnerable under him. She could snap him like a twig without blinking and yet she let him do this. That thought shoot straight down to his core. He punched the wall above her as his seed filled her. Her walls squeezed him tight like a vice as she came just a second later.
"Again," he panted out.
This time they managed to get on the bed. He threw her on top of his sheets, face down. In a blink, her scales shrunk, the dress disappearing and forming just a belt around her midsection. It exposed a tattoo covering her entire back. Was he more conscious he'd ask about it. He will, most likely. Later.
Amoxtli raised on her knees and he grabbed her hips, slamming the air out of her as he entered her again.
It all turned blurr after that. When he came to he saw himself shooting the last weak strands of his seed into her mouth.
Leo collapsed. He was so thirsty. This time for water. His body was sore but god he felt so damn happy. Amoxtli nuzzled the side of his face. He noticed purple bruises in the shape of his hands on her arms and hips and legs. He noticed a thin trail of blood in the corner of her mouth and he could feel a sting in his shoulders and arms. They made so much mess.
A laughter bubbled inside him, their eyes met and the giggles erupted between them. They kissed, sweetly, lovingly.
"Amoxtli?"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to be more than friends?" He asked while the happy hormones that Donnie would know the name of were still there. While he still had the courage.
"Like dating?"
"Yes."
"I'd like that."

I'd like to say a thing abt your mutation thing in fallout!!
Some people have the misconception that evolution = getting "better" at surviving. Evolution is a fancy way of saying "nature throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks". Mutations are completely random - for example, snakes lost their legs. Why? Bc there was a mutation, and it didn't have a negative impact. So over time, the legless lizard population kept growing and eventually turned into a whole type of lizard. It doesn't necessarily mean it was better for them; just that it didn't kill em. What radiation does is make DNA replication very unstable, which means more mutations, which basically means Evolution Speedrun.
Also, the 2-headed animals are chimeras. Chimerism happens irl too, but it's real rare and usually they die quick. It's what results in conjoined twins! It's surprisingly common (still rare as fuck, but not as rare) in reptiles: two-headed snakes and turtles are a good example of survivable chimerism.
So, why does every radstag/brahmin/whatever have two heads? Because radiation interferes with the fetal development! My guess is that somehow the gametes produced by those animals are already "conjoined" in a way; like two sperms fused together/ two eggs stuck mid-mitosis, so when they're fertilized, it always ends up in a "two-headed creature" - AKA two individual creatures fused together at birth - AND because this fucky wucky didn't kill off the entire radstag/brahmin/whatever population, nature just went "okay!" And now they're the norm after 200 years.
Anyways, I apologize for the rant, but I'm literally mid biology degree and Fallout is one of the things that is keeping me sane through this nightmare I set upon myself so... Yay?
I didnt know the two hesds was a result of chimaerism! That's really interesting actually, I was going to look it up and just didnt get around to it. And yeah, just because a slime mold doesn't have eyes or legs doesn't make it "less evolved" than a human. It just evolved to suit certain conditions in its environment, and those characteristics are still favorable for survival. Part of the reason I've been writing up a bunch of posts like this is because I've missed debating with my biology professor LOL. I appreciate your input! I was thinking about researching and writing up a meta post about animals as well, so this was right into my niche of interest

your 2AL au has been rotating in my head consistently now, and fun fact (that is probably universal but whatever) is turtles bask so much bc they can't absorb calcium without the Vitamin D3, meaning their bones and shells get dangerously soft, so if Leo's prosthetic is connected skeletally by that titanium rod Don mentioned, i can see him and probably f!leo too having Absolutely Mandatory Bask times to make sure the port stays healthy :) just a little mental image i thought i'd share!
As a massive fan of biology over here that is so cool..?? Oh my gosh thank you for sharing!!! But yeah, the rod and the port as a whole is definitely connected skeletally for the sake of what it has to support! Honestly I should probably try drawing up some diagram of how I believe it would be connected,, And oh I could so see him just sun bathing on days when the port is sore...

i feel like there's no one "medic" on the team in 12, which is funny when i think about the fandom's obsession with naming a singular medic. but what seems more likely to me is that all of the brothers know first aid/field medicine to a reasonable extent. i think we've seen almost every turtle do first aid in the show (except mikey but idk ill give him the benefit of the doubt). idk about donnie either but i do remember seeing raph and leo doing it at least; i don't think it's unreasonable to say that donnie probably has some knowledge too. i think this set-up is actually way more practical, because what are they going to do if their "medic" with all the medical knowledge is down for the count? if everyone has some knowledge, then i think that's way safer; splinter probably taught what he knew of field medicine to all of them.
generally, i think they're all pretty self-sufficient, in the sense that if they get a small cut/bruise/scrape they take care of it themselves. i think them getting hurt at all on normal patrols is actually pretty rare because 1. they're that good and 2. i also hc that they have some sort of healing factor (they have to bc how else do they be walking off these major injuries like they're nothing) which contribute to fast recovery times, and most of the time these injuries do heal pretty fast on their own for them so they don't need further care. and if they do get something like a sprain or something they need help with, then whoever's available will assist bc it's within the scope of their knowledge (setting a bone, splinting, etc). but i don't think they'll be going to "doctor donnie" for every injury they have.
which is also funny considering the fandom is like, obsessed with the doctor donnie concept. but being the "smart one" and into science doesn't necessarily mean donnie knows everything. also, id like to point out that science is a diverse field. biology is different from mechanical engineering (which i think donnie is more into). and if donnie aint into it, i dont think he's going to learn it. not extensively, at least. again, i can see him and the others having some basic first aid knowledge. and, once again this is my hc, since the brothers really dont get major injuries that often/they can all heal on their own, why would he devote time to learning medicine? especially when he has other things he'd rather be doing (building MECHS)
now, see, donnie to me is more like the shady witch doctor that lives on the street corner, beckoning you to come into his home and try this shady looking concoction you didn't ask for. remember when he made that concoction for leo to drink to help him recover? hey donnie, what exactly is in this mixture and why do you think it will help? hey donnie, why do you think drinking mutagen is going to help considering all of the things we've seen it do/how it's reacted with their bodies in the past (shellacne, anyone?) who wants to bet that he's never tested it before and this is the first time he's trying it? and then it made leo throw up and then created this huge monster that they had to fight later 😭 so there's the result of donnie's "doctoring" for you.

I keep seeings those fanarts and fics about Donnie and Leo being twins but not in the biological way. And I really love them just beings twins bc they decided so. But what if they where real twins somehow?
Picture this, Draxum wanted really strong and capable soldiers. He chose turtle for their natural defense (and also he thinks turtles are hella cool but he will never say it to the bros).
While doing his research he also thought, hey what if made an hybrid turtle.
From what little info I looked up for that hc, red eared sliders are much less agressive than soft shelled turtles. But red eared sliders have a solid shell compared to a...well, a soft shell turtle.
So the idea of Draxum was to combined the sturdy shell of a red eared slider and the agressivness of a soft shell turtle.
Using his alchemy and stuff he managed to have one viable (1) egg. Imagine this man all happy and stuff, thought he was about to create a whole new species of turtle.
When the egg hatched they where two turtles. Each from their respective species.
The warrior alchemyst was disappointed but, oh well he already wasted too much time on this.
The two were still admitted as specimens for his soldiers mutants project.
I also thinks since they are real twins, they would have some borrowed traits from the other's species
Some physical trait, such as Donnie developping some yellow stripes as he grow up.
Behavior as well, like Leo being extra teritorial and may snap more easily.
Donnie was thrilled while learning about their respective species that soft shell were much bigger than red eared slider.
Even more so when he got that growth spurt when they were 12 and clearly towered over Leo
No so much when Leo catch up on him only a few months later
He kept waiting and waiting on the day he would finally be taller than his twin (as biology dictate so)
(Little does he know that the little red eared sliders genes in him decided to take away his bog boy privileges)
Aside from that,I like to think they have the twins telepathy
The shared thirst for violence, (although Leo is more restrained than his twin)
They have the matching blue/red heterochromia (I'm obviously not the og thibker of this one, but I think it match pretty good here)
If you didn't notice, I don't know shit about biology. Especially about turtles, so feel free to add things if you know more than me.

🥤🔪🦷
🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love
i know i say death wish ltierally every single time for these but there's a reason for that i prommy it's so good it literally changed my life read death wish-
coughs anyways! that aside i have so many fics and authors i absolutely adore but that list would be so so so long and i would definitely leave so many out. so here's my fic rec posts that i def need to update at some point bc imbi is still listed as a wip and firefight isn't even on there which is how you KNOW it's been too long:
multi chapter fics
one shots
also since it's not on there yet read firefight too. duh
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
uhhhh probably the amnesia? unless you count researching turtle biology + care as weird but like this is the turtle fic tumblr so
there. may be more i'm just not remembering but otherwise i'm going with that
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
sprinto bot my fucking beloved. literally got me through so so so so so much of idiot's guide. just writing to get words on the page and being under a time limit helped me not stress (as much) abt whether it was 'good' or not and worry about editing later

My TMNT OC: Hiranur
Tumblr media
Full name: Hiranur Omar
Nickname: Excorcist, Hira or Nur
Exits in tmnt iteration: TMNT 03, TMNT 07, and TMNT Monochrome (my own tmnt iteration takes place in tmnt 07 verse but also shares the same event with '12 and 03)
About her in general:
She also lost her parents in the triceraton invasions for both 03 and 07 iteration.
Nur is a drop out from school and works in flower shop and takes babysitting job and mortuary work as a part-time job from time to time.
She was once a temporary gang member. In 03 verse, she was with the turks but quitted a day after due to the ghosts haunting (telling) her to quit during a mission. In 07, she was with the purple dragon but a fail member of the gang and was kicked out when she couldn't pass the test.
Carries a red, sharp scissor as her self defense weapon
Once experienced a hysteria and is recuperating from it
She can see and talk to ghosts in all universe of tmnt that she's in. Through the ghost she learns of the turtle's existence.
Her hijab is sometimes missing(due to the turtles parkour) from the clothes line. Hence the prayer garment(which is an old and worn one) is an option for her to wear when she's following the turtles sometimes
How she first met the turtle boys:
At first she dosen't believe in them because their ghosts and can bother/posess you if you answer them until upon her first encounter with them she had a crisis of their existence but she believed in the ghosts fearfully.
With their guidance, she followed them from afar at night when they patrol the city with the shellraiser and would also toss them some notes telling them to stay away from the abandoned gang warehouses and other haunted areas.
The turtles sometimes catch a glimpse of her and it's mostly in her prayer garment the one on the right(long hijab-like that's all white) and it's mostly Mikey who saw it and get startled by it while blurting out horror tropes when he does.
The turtles meet her in one of the purple dragons abandoned warehouse. Found her unconscious mostly in the same white prayer garment but it stops here.
Her personalities:
Easily frightened due to her six sense but it's also the same for facing mutants and fiesty delinquents but ever since she met the turtles she became a bit braver bit by bit.
Cautious comes from her hysteria experience and her early days when she discovered that she hs 6th sense. Nur either end up makes good or bad decision. She brings a pair scissors all the time as a self defense weapon
Knowledgable on supernatural myths and stuffs, including biology on plants.
Kind but still dosen't hesitate to whack if needed. Whenshe was watching the turtles from afar, one of the old ghosts would tell her to whack their each of their heads in the dark just to confirm that their not demons and she did it even running away before they see her. Mostly she ends up whacking Raph's and Donnie's head most of the time.
Nur and the turtles relationship:
Mikey: Closest along Donnie. Team B's best friend. They freak out about ghost together.
Donnie: Closest along with Mikey. They have lots of conversation.
Raph: She was a bit intimidated by him but once she gots to know his soft side, she warms up to him.
Leo: She was most cautious on him the most until she realise had a crush on him in one unfortunate rescue and she's head over heels. She had a crisis on it but got over it and is choosing the right time to confess to him. She gets shy with him
I have difficulties of summing it up but that's all I got bcs in different universe how they meet and the interactions are slightly different. Could say that it's more to writing for my TMNT iteration. I'm thinking of adding the rise version of her just maybe rewatch of rottmnt for the yokais part.
Anyway, this my tmnt OC Nur so far that I've worked on at least.

i must know,,,,, i can guess most of the costumes the gang's wearing in your halloween post but i must know what they're all wearing it's going to kill me
hehe ok fine. here goes. full list:
josuke is spongebob (dumb)
okuyasu is patrick (and dumber)
yukako is squidward (something something love deluxe and tentacles)
koichi is sandy (the most classically beautiful)
jotaro is mr krabs (he was tricked into joining the gang with the promise that it was marine biology related) jolyne is almost too old to want to go trick-or-treating, but agreed to go as pearl krabs just this once bc her cool grunkle convinced her it would be funny. shes at home in bed by now though
shigechi is a ninja turtle (bc josuke told him turtles were scary once. he is just barely old enough to drink bc i arbitrarily set this in 2005. hes being very responsible and drinking lots of water)
hazamada is sasuke (self explanatory)
yuya and his weed smoking gfs are abba (from the photo with the iconic cat dresses)
yuya is björn
akemi is benny
yoshie is agnetha
reiko is anni-frid
terunosuke is billy the puppet (from saw)
tamami is a godfather gangster (with the horse head from that OTHER famous godfather scene)
akira is a KISS guy (idk KISS members dont @ me)
mikitaka is bigfoot (no costume ofc, just transformed)
and keicho refused to wear a costume and showed up in a tshirt, a hoodie and shorts, unknowingly dressed as sans undertale. this is the only anachronism i allowed myself (bc its 2005) because it was too funny not to do.
as mentioned in replies rohan tried and failed to include himself in the spongebob clique as plankton bc nobody invited him or told him where the party was so he is lost in the dark freezing outside somewhere in the middle of the night. he is found passed out in a bush the next morning with pneumonia
