Hii I started reading your AU and I have a bit of questions for starters what is their species? Are they the same age? If so how old are they? Which universe is this mostly based on? I am assuming the whole Donnie leo being twins is from Rise?
Hello!! I’m very happy that you’re reading my au, I have actually got the answers to their ages and species on their intro posts but I’ll say it here because they’re kind of old and a long way to scroll!
Leo is 16 and a red eared slider
Donnie is also 16 and a hawksbill sea turtle
Raph is 15 and a common snapping turtle
Mikey is 14 and an Eastern long-necked turtle
I take inspo for all iterations cause I’ve seen most of them, but the 2012 show gave the most inspo for plot and character dynamics, 2003 for storylines, and rise for character design, IDW for late-story plot points!
Yes I headcanon Donnie and Leo as twins in rise as well! I took that because I love eldest sibling Leo and wanted to explore an older sibling Donnie as well! And also love the teasing twins dynamic :))
Newest chapter coming this weekend after I finish all my assignments arghhhh for now I’ll show you the old old first draft of Karai’s design when I was first working on anatomy and her, I’ll show her full design once we get up to her in the fic
She’s a bit destroyed lmao, I also did not have the tools I have currently so it looks awful but it’s her first draft she’s allowed to be like that 😭😭
They are like, watching them train i think (i think)
inspired by that one post by @misteria247 :)
Stayed up late and made shitposts on ibisPaint, these are so fun to do
Also it’s Don cyber bullying April
I haven’t forgotten about my writing, been incredibly busy studying!! New chapter today or tomorrow for turtles of the hour!!

Basic info under the cut
Leo: the oldest, and a very big dork. Tries his best to be serious and responsible, and live up to Splinter’s expectations…but sometimes a kid just needs to read comics and cosplay his favourite hero from ‘Satellite Strike’. He loves encouraging and supporting his brothers (when they’re not being a pain in the shell).
Mikey: youngest, tied with Donnie. Super energetic and quite the goofball, but he’s always there for his brothers when he needs to be. Super creative and the life of the party, he encourages the others to let loose and have fun. Doesn’t like being alone, worries he’s being annoying a lot.
Donnie: also youngest tied with Mikey. Full of anxiety, but can be very mischievous and feral when he wants to be (Mikey typically encourages this.) extremely smart, but typically downplays his abilities.
Raph: second oldest. I based him around ‘87 Raph, so he’s less violent and more snarky/rude when he’s angry- he’s a big softy even if he wouldn’t admit it, being very protective of his brothers, especially Donnie.
Donnie and Mikey are non-identical twins! Having said that Donnie and Raph are SUPER close to eachother- the two of them were both captured by kraang when they were younger for experimentation. Raph got his scars from saving Donnie- and Donnie wears overalls now to hide his mostly damaged Plastron, thanks to some not-very-ethical surgeries.
Leo and Raph don’t butt heads as often as some of their other versions, but when they do it gets very heated very quickly.
In the earlier days, Splinter had higher, harsher expectations for them, Leo specifically, as he was the oldest. Splinter has only mutated recently, and wasn’t in a good place. He figured the best thing to do was train them as quick as he could, to protect themselves. He was often distant and harsh. Leo began to struggle with his self image, and isolated himself from his brothers, which caused the dynamic to grow tense and uncomfortable. Mikey suffered from this a lot, and still has attachment issues to this day.
As they got older Splinter realized what he was doing and who he was hurting, and him and the turtles worked on fixing their relationship. (Splinter takes online therapy every Wednesday, under a fake account that Donnie helped set up.)
Later on in this story (like- nearish future) Leo gains the Classic Knee Injury TM and it doesn’t heal properly, so he has to learn to fight differently, and to rely on his brothers for help every now and then. (But he’s still the most skilled ninja master around fr)
OKAY THAT WAS ALOT OF TALKING HOPE U LIKE IT BYEE<33
How Splinter got them to stand still for this? I have no idea but he did and it’s cute!!
The proportions are off but that’s ok dlgkdlgkf I love my silver paint pen so much
Voice claims for my TMNT au! Still working on a name! Sorry for the low quality I did this on my laptop and screen recorded it to my phone lol! Really proud of the Casey drawing at the end, might post it seperately with the story that comes with it! Might! The rest are just doodles lol
Chapter going to be coming later this week, busy out of my mind studying </3
Id say I’m 1/2 done with it so far tho!
