lololol, aside from not drawing bayverse or next mutation turtles in forever my ass also hasn’t drawn my au turtles in a hot-ass minute either
like, since returning with Rise after my last memories were with Next Mutation one of the things I noticed is the teenage part seems roughly... the same? I can’t really speak on it since I’m barely scratching 03′s surface and I haven’t even gone near 12. But aside from contemporary fixtures like their cellphones, and maybe Rise!Leo dabbing.
like just very vague, almost non-descript “(american) teen culture” markers. but like. these are new york kids.
and in my time they were new york kids from the 90s????? And they had them referencing Moonlighting???????? like Raph wouldn’t have been hard into Biggie, or Mikey wouldn’t be out on the cardboard mats with the bboys. c’man. At the very least Next Mutation had them throw a Save the Animals Rave, and honestly that’s the most 90s fucking thing they’ve done that I remember ‘til that point.
anyway, my AU is less an AU and more a “sure bad shit happened to them but they’re all alive and together, splinter’s here and so is venus, and they still play ninja pogs” retconning fluff
and they would’ve been fans of Boyz II Men (and Blackstreet and a ton of other groups from my childhood) and not a one of you can fight me about it uwu <3
_____
my tmnt au (where everyone made it past their 20s, splinter’s alive just old, venus is here, and they deserve some goddamn respite and shenanigans)
tmnt au part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4
tmnt au omake 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
lny visit 1 | 2

Surface Pressure, but it's sung by Ragatha
I'm a rag doll
I'm not nervous
I'm the glue that can bind this whole circus
Always helpful
I'm supportive
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't wonder
What the point is
I remind you to stay optimistic
Hug me and squeeze me
And life will be easy
I help you keep living
I work with what's given
But
Under the surface
I'm feeling faint as
The dried out layer of an age old canvas
Under the surface
Would it be wrong to ask
"Hey, can someone else take this?"
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure it's hopeless
This nightmare will be endless
My mind's gonna crack
I feel an attack
The car's gone off the tracks!
What makes you go abstract?!
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip
That'll never stop (whoa)
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip,
'Til you just go pop (whoa-oh-oh)
Hold on to your dolly
Your dolly comforts
Things will be okay if you stick close to her
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to-
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
And it won't let go (whoa)
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
'Til it's ready to blow (whoa-oh-oh)
Hold on to your dolly
Your dolly shields you
From the looming horrors that would conceal you
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Under the surface
I hide my nerves
And it worsens I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
My thoughts take a turn
On what I could've done to deserve this
Under the surface
I'm not sure I can take it
Could there still be an exit?
Just tell yourself your fine
Rain falls from the sky
You try to keep on breathing
But the water's way too high!
But wait
I contemplate
If it's too late
For restoration
For the things I knew once were real
My obligation
To stay together
Will always fester
This growing pressure
Keeps growing
Keep going
'Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
That'll never stop (whoa)
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
'Til you just go pop (whoa-oh-oh)
Hold on to your dolly
Give her your burdens
Never think about how much she might be hurting
Hold her tight 'til her seams begin to break
She's okay
Just pressure like a grip, grip, grip
And it won't let go (whoa)
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
'Til it's ready to blow (whoa-oh-oh)
Hold on to your dolly
I can assure it
You won't be the one who has to endure it
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks
No breaks
No mistakes
No pressure

Yo I can't wait for episode 7 🥺 can't wait for Jax to come out as gay and Pomni to become Jesus
Unfortunately, Through A Staff Vote, Pomni Won't Be Jesus, I Apologize For The Disappointing News.
Jax Is Gonna Come Out Sooner Though, Not Giving Episode Because I Wanna Keep Everyone On Lookout.
No, I Didn't Get To Vote In The Staff Vote, During That Time I Was Put In The Time Out Closet For Eating The Cardboard Tubes Of Our Paper Towel Rolls In The Breakroom.
