tw: light gore + animal death under the cut

little thing i did for fun. i remember it either being implied in the fic or reading it in an ask or the comments on ao3 about Leo being the first to really gain sentience/human intelligence out of all the brothers + finding food for the gang when they were little. anyways i was thinking about that and this scenario got stuck in my head for the past few days + would not leave so i drew it.

(this also incorporates my personal hc that the old lair wasn't the first place they settled + spent the first couple years bouncing around trying to find a suitable home. that's why they're in a warehouse)

[ cw: technical child endangerment / ]

Y’know every time I see the turtle tots playing with their original weapons I’m always flabbergasted that Splinter let Leo have a literal sword as a small child.

And then left him unsupervised with it.

Like, at least the others had blunt weapons (though still dangerous in their own right, especially Raph’s blunt tipped sais) but Leo’s katana are so easily lethal that it’s a miracle he seemed to be a natural with them. Because, if he wasn’t a natural then…oof.

It’s at least a good thing he only got one sword at first and not his usual two. Splinter would’ve needed to count his lucky days because OOF.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #child endangerment /#splinter is not a bad dad but man needs to realize that sometimes it’s better to start with bamboo practice swords #even if the actual blades are more true to the Hamato clan #it’s a good thing they’re so durable! Leo could have easily hurt himself or others with ONE sword let alone two #and we don’t know when exactly the second sword came into the picture I don’t think #could have gotten the second soon after oof #injury mention /#imagine an au where Leo’s a natural at PORTALS and TELEPORTATION but has a steeeeeeep learning curve for swords #or like imagine him being wary about using swords after that turtle tot short because he fell on them when Donnie crashed into him #nothing says I think I’ll stick with kunai like almost having your throat slit with your own sword!#or any injury because again DANGEROUS to any place not a shell (and even then)#honestly I think about how Leo is almost always the main one to get an explicitly lethal weapon a lot

I totally get why people write Rise Splinter as being very soft and kind and educated about autism when explaining it to a kid Donnie but also Rise Splinter doesn't know shit he totally accepts his son for who he is and accommodates him when he can but he thinks Donnie is just quirky af

#rottmnt #tmnt #donatello #splinter #they dont find out donnie is autistic for YEARS and its DONNIE who figures it out #nd he goes up to splinter with a detailed autism presentation explaining all the signs he shows and what it is #splinter does not get it #splinter not understanding the presentation: so. what does this change?#donnie thinking hes being a supportive dad: by newton dad YOURE RIGHT i am still the same donnie i was before understanding this and now-#the only part splinter pays attention to is when its about accommodating donnie but other than that he is imagining what shows he could be #watching instead #best worst dad ever i love him

i think it'd be really funny to write a crossover specifically between the latest three TMNT series bc the ingenuity and bold new directions of Rise and Mutant Mayhem leave 2012 - the one that's most faithful to the previous lore - looking like the odd one out.

because, like:

-Rise and MM both have the turtles explicitly call Splinter "dad", while 2012 sticks with the traditional "Master Splinter."

-Rise and MM both have a Splinter character who is neither an ex-martial arts master or Japanese, and in fact barely knows how to do martial arts in general, whereas 2012's Splinter follows the comic origins (a native Japanese man and trained martial artist).

-2012's Splinter also features a backstory element the Rise and MM versions don't: being explicitly related to Shredder.

-Rise and MM both have black/poc Aprils who are fairly similar in both personality and vibes, which makes 2012's April (who's the traditional redheaded version with the same basic "action girl who hangs out with the turtles" template but whose character traits are notably different) stick out uncomfortably in comparison.

-Rise and MM both show Raph as an easily excitable tank, while 2012's Raph is deeply rooted in the cynical guy with a temper from earlier incarnations.

-2012 gives the turtles genuine beef with each other (most notably Leo and Raph fighting over the leadership position). Rise and MM completely handwave that and all of their turtles are chill with each other outside of typical brotherly scrimmages.

-Rise and MM both portray the turtles as unusually skilled novices who win most of their battles by fucking around and finding out, while 2012's turtles are trained fighters with child soldier undertones and the mindsets to match.

i'm not saying there's a sharp divide between 2012 and the other two (there isn't) or that 2012 doesn't share anything with the other two shows (it does), but if you put all three casts of characters together and had them compare their own lore, i think the 2012 characters would seem like weirdos/odd ducks compared to the Rise and MM, which is very funny to think about bc they're the only one of the three who are actually like. recognizably drawing on the characters and concepts of its predecessors.

#i mean - imagine what rise and mm's splinters would say to 2012 splinter #now imagine 2012!april meeting the other two aprils and immediately seeing the obvious diverge point lmao #or 2012!raph not really vibing with rise and mm's raphs bc they don't struggle with genuine anger issues the way he does #and obviously they'd have no way of knowing that there's a “traditional” tmnt format #so all they see is that this universe is pointedly different from the other two #i think rise and mm would look at 2012 and be like “where did you go wrong” ashahjdhasjhdjkaka #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #tmnt 2012 #mutant mayhem #sage speaketh #au tag #crossover #edited for your convenience #(<-cleaned up some wording)#(<-also removed the last bullet point bc i don't think i articulated it well + it felt redundant)

With what we've seen from the show with Splinters canonic dysmorphia, and also the hints that Raph probably raised the boys more than Splinter did, and see how much stress Raph carries, How Donnie and Leo want more attention and praise (Donnie from a parent aged adult, Leo I think in general) and Mikey craves familial closeness (no hate on him he was clearly going through some shit with depression and being turned into a rat but still!), so does that mean, in your Separated AU, that Leo had to practically raise himself with a practically absent father?

Love your drawings btw.

Oops.

Aha,,,, yeah. (.‿.);; A father in distress, no Big Brother to help parent, no Little Brother too cook, no Twin Brother to make sure they have comfort,,,

I really did start this au so I could put a twist on the whole separated thing, but uhhhh…. Yeah. I really unintentionally screwed Leo over….. 😅😅

#Leo knew he had brothers and spent his whole life searching for them #my intention was that it’d make him more like other Leo’s. like. serious. and singleminded.#but I think finding out his brothers all had happy healthy childhoods would break him pretty quickly. :(#in the same vain. when they all find each other and it’s clear Leo had the worst childhood THAT fucks splinter UP #ooh u thought he was having a rough time before? imagine finding out your 3 arch nemeses were all better parents than you. 🥲#parent trap au #my art #tmnt art #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise leo

if 2012 splinter had a premonition on how he was going to die, do you think there was a reason as to why he took raph and april with him up on that rooftop? because like. in the perspective of the show, it's always been leo that has those big emotional moments with splinter. you'd think the writers would have put leo up on that rooftop instead of raph but. yeah. i wonder if there was ever any reason for that

#like. splinter KNEW he was probably going to die. and he had to essentially chose which son to take with him for it #it was probably always a toss up between raph and leo #probably never ever donnie or mikey. i imagine he decided that immediately #does anyone else ever think this #idk if im even saying this right. like in my head it makes sense yknow lol #or better yet. why did he bring ANY of them #like. maybe he had some naive hope he would live? because yeah hes a wise old dude but.#he probably didnt wanna die at all right?#scream your thoughts with me please or i will explode #tmnt 2012

OKAY SOOO I just had a crying laughing fit during my drive home because a Thought has occurred to me:

Y’know the Ooze?

The Ooze that mutated the Turtles, Splinter, and Leatherhead??

Why did the Utroms make it???????

#tmnt #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3 #help #it doesn’t even have to be a Good Explanation #I just need ANSWERS #was it a byproduct of a different experiment??#an unintended side effect that doesn’t affect their biology?#did an Utrom scientist get Bored one day??#cuz having mutagen that turns animals into humanoids doesn’t seem all that connected to their main goal of making a transmat device #anyways please imagine me just thinking about Splinter finding the Turtles and one of them shaking the ooze on to him #and then everything in my brain halting and focusing on the fact that it mutated them like that #and going #while giggling and smiling so wide #‘why the fuck did the Utroms make that????’#coughing laughing tears in my eyes #gimme your comic/cartoon logic of Why Ooze? please and thank you

How would uncle splinter feel after the big reunion, like “holy shit this guy isn’t even from our hamato clan what, hes my son from another universe- what what what what-“

It explains a lot honestly.

Why Leonardo was so secretive about his past.

Why he wore a different Hamato symbol

Why he didnt know about Ninpo

And why Leonardo is a mutant turtle.

(Up until that point he assumed that he was some kind of distant cousin, after all there have been quite a few members that defected from the Hamato clan to start their own, so it wouldnt be unreasonable to assume Leonardo came from one of those bloodlines.)

Things get weird when Uncle Splinter realizes that HE was supposed to be the kids' dad, their sensei. But because Leonardo interfered, the original time got thrown for a loop.

#tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #Uncle Splinter is just shookth #imagine finding out that an alternate version of you exists #and Leonardo is an alternate version of the turtle that was dupposed to be yours #its wild

#I saw a post where the other splinters made fun of him for not even being human before #and I was like lmao yeah but this guy can clap back with imagine being a worse father than an actual rat #reading idw tmnt and splinter is. so so #like I think the fact whenever the boys go out on their own I cheer bc they left the bs and their dad behind speaks for itself #he loves them very much but my dude #this is literally your second lifetime parenting these exact same children how are you messing up so bad still ghjkl #tello talks #tcest for filter

#going into a tag for a book/movie (not saying which) and seeing ppl talking abt how it should’ve had a ‘and it was all a dream’ ending #so that the characters could have a happy ending and none of the trauma happened and no one died on the end #as if the entire point of the story isn’t about how the world is fucking terrible for people and sometimes you go through the worst #experiences anyone can possibly imagine and you just have to keep surviving and keep going #because by the virtue of the life you live you can’t escape the traumatic aspects of your life #and sometimes that means people die and families splinter and you can’t close your eyes without seeing the worst night of you life #the point is that there is no happy ending and you can’t fix stuff and you have to just keep going on #the ppl who are saying this shit have the literary comprehension of a dead mouse who just want to write abt fucking the characters #anywayyyyyyyyyyyy. moving on.

ROTTMNT separated!au but it's Dumb

Had this bouncing around in my head for a while now:

Splinter Drops 2 of the turtles on the way out of draxum's lab, but instead of getting picked up by Draxum, Big Mama, The Foot, or any of the other menagerie of options, they get picked up by...

*drum roll*

The rat that fucking bit splinter!

It ALSO got mutated during the escape, so now there's TWO mutant rats with baby turtles running around!

Do I have any idea where to go from there? NO!

Do I think the idea of having both splinter continuities canon in the Rise universe of all places is HILARIOUS? YES!

#the only other thing that's 100% certain for this au #is that the kids definitely try to parent trap them when they meet #imagine your kids trying to set u up w/ the rat that fucking bit u #rottmnt #master splinter #tmnt splinter #rise splinter #lou jitsu #yoshi hamato #hamato yoshi #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt
