Turtles - Blog Posts
Silly little guys!
I was wondering why my hand started cramping. I’ve been at this for three hours.
yes, obviously Moci your hands are gonna start to hurt after the 77th turtle you’ve made this day.
these are only the turtles that are drying right now
I have been very absent, why you may ask? Well the truth is that I forgot Tumblr existed.
Anyway, I deleted all my old posts so here ya go, starting fresh with this little thing I made a bit ago, I want to focus more on my art.
Stay tuned I’ll be posting a bit more now

Someone on twitter (@/Franklesbian) said: "Imagine Frank's Google search history being: 'how to look after baby turtles'" that would be too cute :')
Guys, I'm finally doing my first merch! I'm so happy!
These are gonna be acrylic keychains.
Hello Turtle community !
I need help. 🐢
For my upcomming PhD, I need to sample several turtle species to obtain chemical data based on their environment. For that I need to contact rescue centers, sanctuary, etc
I have found rather easily contact informations for sanctuaries working with marine turtles but I struggle to find centers working with Malaclemmys Terrapin. The difficulty is that I need tropical latitudes, so the south of the USA would be great, in coastal areas to have specimens living in brackish waters. The majority on the centers I have found are in NJ or NC.
So if you have informations, it would be great 😁
Lets. D0. This.
(Please note: Post will be updated as I find more resources and think of more strategies)

Mutant May
YOU can watch Season 1 and Season 2 of RISE right HERE!
So I’ve seen a a lot of people still wondering if Rise of the TMNT can be saved.
There’s is a lot of hope, especially with the boom of fans joining the fandom after the movie dropped last year, people making more art on tumblr, twitter, tik tok, and so on. But also a a lot of doubt, especially after JJ Conway’s post on twitter.
BUT…I still think there is a chance…a GOOD chance. WITH ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW! Why?
We live in the internet. Information is more then easy to get out now thanks to social media. There is all kinds of ways to get the word out to people. Let’s abuse it. 😎
Fans have brought back shows before.
We need a MAJOR push through social media, more fans, more art, it’s up to us…and I think we can do it!
Fans convinced Netflix to bring Sense8 back for a finale
Fans convinced fox to bring back “Futurama” after it was cancelled in 1999.
Hey Arnold got the jungle movie thirteen years after the show was cancelled
Animaniacs got a 3 season revival 22 years after it stopped airing.
Brooklyn 99 was cancelled in 2018, and the fans convinced NBC to pick up the series.
Arrested Development was canceled after 3 seasons, but AFTER it was cancelled, it grew an audience and they made it come back!
Fans saved the original Star Trek in the 60s with letters.
They did it. Why can’t we?
So what can we do?
Well…
1. PETITIONS TO SAVE RISE that we can all sign…
PETITION 1 (The strongest one, but the more petitions signed, the better!)
PETITION 2
PETITION 3
PETITION 4 (save the content that was cut/we missed)
PETITION 5! (Make an ROTTMNT season 3)
2. Pester Nickelodeon and Netflix on social media (THE BIG ONE Y’ALL, THIS IS THE MOST DIRECT AND IMPORTANT)
Be polite, be non-toxic (don’t be rude or mean, the boys would not want that, and the Nick/Netflix won’t listen), but be LOUD, PASSIONATE, AND ANNOYING! Ask for DVDs of the show/movie, and then BUY THOSE DVDs!
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THE FULL ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW TO COME BACK, INCLUDING ANDY SARIANO AND ANT WARD.
Sample DM/Letter (but try to come up with your own. Too many repeats and they will ignore it)
“Dear Nickelodeon/Netflix/Viacom, I can’t tell you how much Rise means to me, and I really love that you put the show on air. But it was not fair that the show was cancelled before it got the chance to reach the audience it deserved, only because of a few bad reviews and a lack of advertising. The show is great, there’s tons of fans, tons of art, and people, including me, want so much more! Please bring it back! We want the original crew to come, Flying Bark, for the show to get it’s full second season restored, and it’s five season run like it was originally intended. People hated the 2012 TMNT when it came out, but it got it’s chance and now there are people that love it. Why can’t Rise of the TMNT have the same? It’s clear that the creators love their work and there’s a growing fan base for it. Rise just came out at the wrong time, but it deserves it chance to shine.”
The more personal you made the letter, the more you say what Rise means to you, the better.
As for me? I’m sending them a picture of Pizza Pigeon with the #wewantmoreriseoftheTMNT and #saverottmnt
Request movies/seasons on Netflix.
Ask for Rise Season 2, another season, another movie. Just keep asking!
Nickelodeon’s facebook page (Look, I know that facebook is a relic at this point, but the more people go there and PESTER Nickelodeon, the better!)

Rugrats was brought back because fans bombarded Nickelodeon with letters saying they wanted it back. Might as well cover our bases. This one is a BIG DEAL!
Nickelodeon’s Corporate Number
1-212-846-2543 Call them! Annoy them! Ask how we can get their attention! Tell them why you love this show! Why it deserves to come back.

SPAM NICKELODEON’S EMAILS!
If anyone has any more, any deeper more direct points of contact, or more ideas, please share!
3. Leave good reviews for Rise anywhere and raise awareness everywhere you can!
One of the key reasons Rise did not do too well because it was unfairly review bombed before people could give it a chance…so get out there on tik tok, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and ESPECIALLY youtube.
Make reviews! Analysis! JOKES! Support other content creators! When the Rise Reanimated video comes out, share it like no tomorrow!
No one paid attention when How to Train Your Dragon came out, but word of mouth and people saying it was good, made it the success it was. Let’s repeat history!
Anytime there is NEW RISE CONTENT on Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel, watch it, share, spread it.
Share this post on social media, across various sites, use the information here to spread awareness about how people can help and what they can do. Be relentless! (Like Leo in Lair Games)
Ask influencers to review, react, and give RISE a chance without placing judgement.
4. Make. ART!
Draw, Write, TWEET, Make MERCH, Sell MERCH, Make Tik Toks, Videos on YouTube, posts on instagram, discord, what pad, demanding more Rise, spreading the word, and just showing how much you love this show! Not only will it attract attention, but it’s also good for all of us. There will be more Rise content either way.
Make sure to @ nickelodeon on ALL of your art! SPAM THEM! ANNOY THEM! DROWN THEM IN LOVE FOR THIS SHOW! Demand DVD’s and Blue rays of the SHOW AND THE MOVIE! It’s not fair that we can’t have access to it!
PLAY THIS GAME!
If you see official Rise MERCH in the while, buy it if you can! Also support as many rise content creators as you can. If you can’t draw? Write! If you can’t create! Like! Share! Comment! Support each other!
Rise April ART Challenge
Keep in mind…there WILL be pushback.
Companies as big as Nickelodeon and Viacom care about their bottom line: $$$…money. BUT pushback, whether they are taking down your videos on Tik Tok, striking artists on twitter, mean that they’re taking NOTICE. So don’t. Give. UP!
One last thing to remember: DO NOT harass fans for enjoying other versions of TMNT
Even though Rise is the first and only TMNT I have ever loved, I don’t believe in shaming other fans for looking forward to, or enjoying other TMNT series. Gatekeeping like that was what stopped Rise from (heh) Rising as high as it should have. All Rise fans are welcome, and all TMNT fans are welcome. Rise deserves to reach more fans, it deserves another season, and it does not need to knock down other TMNT series to do it. Show them your love and your need for more Rise, without making other TMNT fans feel unwelcome.
Share, spread the word, give it your best shot! A village can move MOUNTAINS! SO let’s do it.
So that in the near future…we can MAKE THIS JOKE!

Cow alien, new tmnt oc
they give me “ PIKMIN!! “ vibes /pos
AYO I DID IT !
The whole gang pulled up !!
Updated Jones Twins Reference Sheet
Lita May>Venus de Milo>>Karai>>> Jennika>>>>Joana Jones
It’s spooky time so I give you the Tottmnt! Casey Twins!!! (I was too lazy to draw their masks so I’ll do it later). Changed up their background and added a few things from my og post. I’m kinda rewriting their lore and this is based on the idea that there will be 24 episodes after the 2026 movie(please let that movie deserve success and get it)
Headcannons/Lore:
Casey(left) is the older twin(he/they)
Cassandra/Cassie(right) is the younger twin(she/they)
They have two moms(Mom is a marine and Mami is a nurse) and their(technically half-) sister, Joana
Live in an apartment in the Bronx😎
Very proud Puerto Ricans🇵🇷
Both on the Eastman High ice hockey team
Casey’s in stage crew(him and Mikey are good friends)
Cassie works a half time job at a local mechanic
Beating hockey teams by day, beating the crap out of criminals by night
Meet Raph while trying to stop a robbery(immediate annoyance turned best friends)
When they were 14 they got mugged by the Purple Dragons after refusing to join Kitsune
Angel was their cousin
She went missing only to be found by the Casey Twins, leading the group that was beating them halfway to hell
Casey still has hope for his prima, but Cassie is very hateful towards the dragons(no matter who they are)
Casey is close friends with Mikey and Venus
Cassie is close friends with Donnie, Jennika, and April
They both think Leo’s a pretty big narc(lol)
During the farmhouse arc(cause I want one) Casey tries to keep things light hearted with Mikey (Mikey’s hope ends up outlasting his) while Cassie works on the car with Don in the barn
Raph and Casey end up together(I am a proud MM!Rasey shipper)
That’s my version of the Casey Twins. Comment your thoughts and asks about them or any of my Tottmnt character designs are greatly appreciated😊.
I feel like there is a section of the Tottmnt/mm fandom that may or may not be confused by why another section(the one that I am in) of it LOVES the idea of having she-shells (aka Venus de Milo, Jennika, Lita May, ect.) in that iteration because of how perfect it will be. So even though no one asked imma explain why I personally think that is.
The entire plot line of the she shells is usually along the lines of girls who lost everything and have no where to go. This is mainly because they are mutants but also because the connections they had before mutant or not had been severed, killed of, or left them in cold blood. And the role of the main four turtles is usually to help them get back on their feet or to add them to their family. Because not only are these characters other turtles which are almost always deemed impossible to exist but they are also left with not much. Unlike the she-shells however the main four have each other creating a sort of “let’s be freaks together” heartwarming story.
In mutant mayhem we see that not only are mutants noticed but also in the beginning discarded and abused by humans. This makes the part of the turtles feeling outcasted even more heartbreaking and important to their story and character. But yet again they have each other. Not only that but also their giant family with their cousins and dad. If humans ever doubted them again they’d have almost a literal mob to help them.
So by adding the she-shells their arc becomes more than just a “let’s be freaks together” narrative but also a “I know how you feel. You are not alone and we will find people who don’t hurt us. Not anymore.”. The main four would not only introduce them to an entire family who has a similar trauma to what they have but also an entire human world to introduce them to now that they are accepted. Like I said on another post the “older” characters would see a reflection of themselves in the newer characters and sort of be the person they didn’t get to have but needed when going through such things.
So there’s what I think the thought process of the general idea is (comment if I’m outrageously wrong or if you had a different idea in your head). Sorry for wasting your time but I have another “small” idea.
yknow this scene in mutant mayhem when April asked Donnie if there are more turtles and he says:
(I know this isn’t the exact frame but I don’t have access right now)
“Nope. Just us.”
I know people probably think this was foreshadowing them finding the other mutants but what if . . .?
Thanks for the tag Melissa!(Ps is it ok that I’m calling you Melissa)
At first I was gonna do her on patrol but then I found the pants and shirt and glasses and said screw it this is her alternative outfit. Introducing my version of MM! Venus’ back up school outfit.
Tag time!

Which of your TMayNT pieces were your favorites to do?
Do you have any favorite TMayNT posts you've seen from others?
ok so my favorite piece that I made was probably the MM!Mikey as a human drawing for day 17 x 18.
And one of my favorite pieces from other people is this post by @yoruangel21(honestly I didn’t realize it was a drawing at first because of how good it is great job yoru)
Thanks so much for the ask!
TMAYNT DAY 29
Favorite Alternative Outfit or Design
defo these goofballs
What was really the icing the cake is when they brought em back for the most random episodes later on.
TMAYNT DAY 26
Favorite Series
apologies ladies and gentlemen but i simply cannot pick a favorite among this franchise in which every one of its creations is art(minus the cringy music videos from the early 2000s)
so imma say my favorite features for the main six characters that I love most
Leo
oldest child(rise I love your Leo, but I prefer big bro Leo)
Anxious little dork(my man needs his space hero obsession)
long mask tails
great with kids
Raph
Wears head covering mask
signature plastron scar/injury
not so secret softie(mainly for his brothers)
Sassiest turtle you’ve met
Donnie
glasses
Has robot son(in the form of metal head/sheldon)
Scientist goggles
Definitely goes to Aprils girls nights
Mikey
Freckles
pops into his shell for comfort
smallest turtle
Splinter
is called dad by his sons rather than Sensei
shorter than his sons
some kind of connection to Hamato clan
Uses tail for fighting/handling his sons
April
same age as turtles
black
Wants to be a news reporter
baseball bat for a weapon
Sister figure to the turtles
can someone help decipher what this symbol
From these plates
Means that would be great(no pressure though and you don’t hafta if you see this)
TMAYNT DAY 25
Your Turtlesona!
Kudos to scramblerat on meiker io
Ps. I and my sona don’t have a wife but I loved the hoodie too damn much to not wear it
TMAYNT DAY 23
Favorite Human Ally
if you’ve seen most of my blog you probably already knew the answer
screen redraw
I CANNOT emphasize enough on the fact that there must be more Karai in the third season of Rottmnt(which could happen during Tottmnt which means we could potentially have two new appearances of Karai at once)
TMAYNT DAY 20 & 21
Favorite Turtle Merch/Toy That You Own
Kinda my only merch but still my favorite
Favorite Shredder
from hatred to hugs *me after watching his story play out*
He is the shredder that I never expected, never knew I needed, and will probably never see again but I still feel blessed to see him. Seeing a character who is iconically known to go from good to bad and not change even for the family wanted was molded into a man who went from good to bad to good because of his love for his family
TMAYNT DAY 19
Best Casey Jones
dis queen needs more time to be let her chaotic self shine and to spend time with her son
Not that I expect anyone to care since no one asked but info dump time:
so in my hyper fixation au of MM/Tottmnt (kudos to @cagednoob for helping me figure out what to call this) I’ve labeled Venus as a pansexual but I’ve come to the conclusion that she isn’t attracted to men at all and she is more a of a bisexual since the term means two genders and she likes girls and nonbinary people (hope I’m saying that right) so I dunno
comment what you think or if you want to have a poll for this
or don’t like I said I don’t really expect anyone to care but I just needed to get this off my chest in some kind of way
TMAYNT DAY 17xDay 18
Best Mikey of All Iterations
Human Version of the Turtles
“No but I do have the Australian version. Crike’s!”
I am so HAPPY that this collab worked out.
I feel like MM Mikey definitely won over my heart when he was the closest thing to the main character of the movie. Which is just AMAZING! But now it looks like he’ll have a pretty big role in Tottmnt. Mikey on a whole as a character throughout the franchise has a lot of potential for a good story and character arcs. And I’m glad that’s being recognized.
(the second pic is a picrew made image btw)
TMAYNT Day 16
Favorite Episode
Our first girls night episode (as far as I know)
PS hope we have more of these in the future
TMAYNT Day 15
Best Karai!!!!!!!
Karai is one of my favorite characters of all time in the tmnt franchise. When they did get her character right and didn’t botch it up(bayverse I’m looking at you 😒) it became one of my favorite parts of that versions storyline.
And decisiveness strikes again as it is a tie
Speaking of Karai I think I might have found a few hints at what she may look like in the mm/Tottmnt version through some foot clan concept art for mutant mayhem
Ok so we have 4 possible choices
pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3(who honestly looks more like Jennika in my opinion)
And pic 4
