Spectre-Class Stealth Carrier “Echoes From Piridia” Specialized Support Capital ship

Constructed from experimental materials and technology, its has very little radar and sensor cross section, effectively making it only truly visible with human sight. 

Echoes From Piridia Personnel-

Captain - Commander Abdel Maz: The man who oversaw the creation of the Echoes, it was only fitting that he be the captain.

XO-  Lt. Commander Nia Gellah: Fleet Officer who spent years away from Xerxes to learn other species’ tactics to help give more knowledge to the Pentacle of the Ram Academy Fleet Tactics Wing for the future officers.

Armsmen CC - Brigadier Elijah Ustad: Chosen for this position specifically due to his knowledge of tactics in a vacuum or low grav areas. Knowing that if it was down to it, the crew would have to fight in such conditions.

 Master-at-Arms - Warrant Officer Garcia Sepio: The only real armaments aboard the Echoes are point defense and smaller scale fleet munitions. It didnt require a very experienced officer for this, Garcia Sepio has been in and out of trouble most of her career. But he knows Point Defense like the back of her hand .

CMO - Chief Warrant Officer Kalon Lieber: Kalon was originally only in it for the for the glory, but he found he had a knack for medtech and found his calling

Fighter-Bomber Squadron CC - Squadron Lead Mendel Tali: One of Xerxes’ few true Aces, Mendel has a deep understanding of the “flow” of fighter combat...so what better place than on the unseen scalpel of a carrier?

Escort-Fighter Squadron CC - Flight Lt. Sorah Tizel: Sorah is well known in the cohort as a pilot who has served with the past 2 Navbed’s fleets, boiling down small craft combat and tactics to a science

I bet raph goes like 🤯 whenever April go big sis mode but Donnie AND leo snickers at his reaction as well.

Bro is NOT prepared for the little brother treatment!

Out of all of the Drax brothers, Raph is the one who has the most beef with April, he DESPISES her at first! Mainly because she took his spot as Donnie's oldest sibling, how dare she??? Raph's protective older brother instincts has a tendency to cause him to catastrophize about how Donnie is being treated by his family, and he's convinced that his poor helpless little brother is absolutely being horrifically abused! But for some reason Donnie doesn't realize that April is obviously not good for him, so Raph can't be too mean to her because then Donnie gets upset. Hopefully one day Donnie'll see reason and return home to his real family... 😔

Like in canon, in the AU Draxum decides to team up with the Foot Clan. His sons have some... worries about the whole thing, but as long as it benefits their greater mission they'll go along with it!

Tiz Seperated AU

Not pictured here is that, immedietly after finishing the movie, the two start arguing again because Leo still insists that Sails The Seven Galaxies is the best JJ movie which Donnie will not stand for.

But this moment is what really starts the path of the Leo and Donnie growing closer. There's still a long way to go of course, they're still firmly on opposite sides. But their hangout sessions at Run of the Mill doesn't really have anything to do with the conflict, right? They've already accepted that they can't fight in the restaurant so it doesn't hurt to just have a bit of a frienemy banter instead, right? It's not like they actually care about each other, right???

Listen, there's a clear difference between their dynamic when it's in the premises of Run of the Mill and when it's out on the field during missions and they have NO problem seperating the two! Nonewhatsoever!

Enemies to rivals to friends!

More interactions between these two idiots (affectionate)

While they did initally get in trouble for fighting, they were allowed to spar for the sake of training. Raph and Casey training with each other is what eventually leads to them developing... well it's not quite a friendship yet, but they do have mutual respect for each other, which still means a lot considering the circumstances.

They got in trouble for fighting lol.

Casey really took one look at the giant reptile super soldier and went "I'm gonna punch him! To establish dominance!"

Anyway, jokes on them, fighting is both Casey's and Raph's love language and soon enough they're gonna be best friends! >:D

Considering Donnie in the Seperated AU literally had NO friends for the first several years of his life (no his dad does NOT count!!) it prompted Donnie to start developing Shelldon way earlier on out of the desire to have a friend. Even after meeting and befriending April, he still spends most of his days being quite lonely considering she'd be busy with school and stuff. Shelldon was a way to combat that loneliness. But considering the fact that Donnie wouldn't have had nearly as much experience with tech when starting on Shelldon's development, he started out as a very rudimentary AI only able to produce a few simple responses. (Donnie having basically no stanards for what social interactions should be like was not at all bothered by this lol) Over the years however, as Donnie's skillset grew Shelldon would become more and more complex, so at the time where the main story takes place Shelldon Hamato is for all intents and purposes a real person and not just a mere machine.

Also I drew him with his Metalhead-inspired design cuz uhhhh cuz I wanna

Also uuuhh have some extra turtle tot doodles cuz omg they're so fucking cute I can't stop drawing them hhhhhhhhh

Local theater kid is struggling 😔

Rewatched Arcoss the Spiderverse recently and got An Idea

So, when Leo's around 10-ish, he accidentally stumbles accross a box filled with a bunch of Lou Jitsu movies (there's even some merch in there!) Which confuses him, considering Draxum had banned anything Lou Jitsu related in their household. He'd shown them some footage from Lou's Battle Nexus fights for research purposes, but his movies were appearently "nothing but human propaganda" so they were strictly off limits..... so why did Draxum even have these?

Leo knew that he'd definitely get in trouble if he watched them and his dad found out but.... if this is the guy who appearently kidnapped his Long Lost Brother, then he should know more about him, right? If Leo was gonna save the softshell from the evil clutches of Lou Jitsu one day, he needs to prepare. So he decides to watch the movies, y'know, for research purposes.

So he does that and uh-

Okay, so in this AU, Leo is a HUGE Lou Jitsu fanboy, and he hates himself for it. Cuz on one hand, he's clearly evil and responsible for taking his softshell brother away from them, but DAMMIT he's just so cool! And Leo appearently has this guy's DNA!? How awesome is that!?

He manages to hide his Lou Jitsu obsession from his family, and being introduced to his movies led to Leo seeking out other human media as well. There are a couple of different reasons why Leo is the first to go against Draxums evil plan and one of those is that, unlike his brothers, Leo is quite familiar with human society and culture. Him being able to teleport also leads to him sneaking to the surface sometimes find out more about humans. All of this leads him to eventually realize that humans really aren't that different from yokai, uh oh, are we the baddies?

Presenting: The AU I accidentally created OOPSIE!! 😬😬😬

And yes, I know, it's another Seperation AU, and yes YES, I KNOW, they're a bit overdone at this point, bUT LISTEN!! That's precisely how I ended up in this situation!!!

So there's a lot of Seperation AUs exploring a lot of different scenarios with the turtles being raised, well, seperately. I've seen quite a few of them at this point, and despite whatever the combination is when it comes to turtle + parental figure, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed a pattern of specifically Donnie often being raised by a villain. Which makes sense, he has a tendency to put on this evil-mad-scientist-act in the show, so of course a lot of us want to see what Donnie would actually be like as a proper antagonist. But that just made me think think of the opposite possibility, of Donnie being the singular good guy while his brothers are all bad guys. Mind you, I'm sure SOMEONE must've thought of this concept before me, but I haven't seen it! So here we are!

In this AU (which doesn't have a name so don't ask!) Splinter only managed to yoink Donnie during The Incident™, so he ended up an only child, while Raph, Leo and Mikey were raised by Draxum. I also imagine Draxum being at least a decent dad considering the circumstances, so the kids he raised ended up with pretty similar personalities to what they have in canon.

Because of that we get Hero Donnie who acts all villainous cuz he's a total theaterkid, and Villain Raph, Leo and Mikey who act all heroic cuz they honestly believe they're doing the right thing in literally destroying all of humankind and as a result developed an intense case of main character syndrome.

Anyway here's some references-

I don't know how far I'll explore this AU. I fully intended to just make like one or two posts rambling about the basic concept, but when I was drawing these images my brain went into full Brain Blast mode and I started coming up with a bunch of other ideas so uh... we'll see how this turns out later I guess haha

So I've been agonizing what Raph, Leo and Mikey's names should be in the AU, cuz if Splinter didn't raise them then they Draxum would've been the ones who named them and why would he pick human artist names?

Alas, I am lazy, and I don't wanna spend a bunch of time figuring out alternative names for them, so I quickly thought of an in-universe reason why they all ended up with the same names as in canon lol

(TBF Splinter did immidietly start naming in the show as well, he was just a bit less creative about it)
