Big Mama is quite a high profile person so when four sons show up from seemingly nowhere people are bound to talk.
The spider traits clearly mark the brothers as her children but they also have a distinctly turtle-like appearance. So people think back with the approximated ages of these kids in mind and now there are two opposing camps; thoes who say Lou Jitsu was secretly a kappa who used a cloaking broach to make it big in both the human world and hidden city alike, and thoes who are convinced there was an affairs and that being the reason Lou Jitsu and Big Mama broke up with the battle nexus champion leaving without a trace.
Ofcourse then CJ appears and when someone overhears him call Big Mama "grand-mama" the rumour mill and theories are once again in full swing.
(Hope you found this vignette funny. I love you AUs and I'm always exited whenever there is a new post)
Lol yes! this is great! A yokai rumor mill sounds hilarious lol! and there would be plenty for them to talk about with some theories more rediculous than others. Like maybe someone sees them around Draxum and starts a perposterous rumor that Big Mama and Lou had paid Draxum to clone some kids for them, but he messed it up and accidentally made them turtles hybrids instead and that's why Mama's pissed at him.
and aww, thank you!!
Doodle request of hologram Shelldon and CJ hanging out
They're hiding punny post-it notes around the Vault for Donnie to find later lol : )
What's funny is i drew a doodle of these two a while ago (before the last chapter of Donnie's jacket was posted) but never shared it b/c i didn't like how it turned out. (still don't.) And then just...didn't redraw it even though Shelldon's hologram design was very cute and i liked it. So basically, thank you for giving me an excuse to draw the Hologram child lol : )
Thank you!
An update from the present day (family web) yokai rumour mill;
The tense air between Big Mama, Baron Draxum and Rat Jitsu is all due to a love triangle or poly relationship gone wrong.
Whatever the case they were all seen attending an art exhibit for promising new young artists. Sources say Michelangelo, one of the artists featured, refered too all three of them as his family.
Lol! I have the distinct feeling Draxum and Splinter would be absolutely horrified by that rumor. (mama would find it hilarious b/c 1, she is well aquanted with the rumor mill and knew this could be an assumption, and 2, he absolutely loves Splinter and Draxum's reactions to it. I could see her feeding the rumor mill even more, simply by "Lamenting" in public about how her adorable Lou had run away with a sheep man 13 years ago and she hadn't heard from him again until recently. much to Draxum's and Splinter's horror.)
Thank you! and i absolutely love Mikey getting his own art exhibit! That's so cute! : )
Did you basr Holo Sheldon on a specific turtle species or is he just copying his father?
Oh he's very much just copying his father lol.
His design's actually a cross between Donnie and his Drone body, so he kind of looks like a cross between a mutant turtle and a robot mutant turtle. which...is kinda confusing lol....here's what i mean
Mostly looks like a bio turtle, but his eyes have square pupils and his shell (front and back) look more like the drone shell, or one of DOnnie's battle shells. (he also has circles on is joints b/c of the little propeller(?) limbs on his drone body.) He also has a tail lol : )
Thank you!
I really really wanna see Donnie cuddled up with Big Mama cuz we have so many asks and stuff about Mama comforting him when he's sick and kot feeling good but no pics and that's a shame in my eyes. Unfortunately artblock keeps me formd racing it myself
I had been meaning to draw that Sick donnie going to Mama scene for a while so thank you for the excuse!
Yes, Donnie stole Raph's hoodie b.c it's big and warm. And is secondary and spider limbs are tucked in it b/c he's cold (and there's no holes for the other arms b/c it's raph's hoodie.) He's also still very much in his pajamas and slippers : )
Thank you!
I got another idea and ran with it.
Donnie hated that he could see the future. It wasn’t because it was troublesome, or he saw things that would scar any normal person, but because his visions were all useless to him. He couldn’t use any of the information he got in any sort of productive way. Leo’s visions he could use to plan, since Leo’s visions were about disasters to come. The knowledge of what Mikey was going to make for breakfast was just useless. Knowing what he was going to get for a present was annoying. Seeing the good things that were going to happen never helped them on missions, but knowing that Mikey was going to sprain his ankle, or that Meat Sweats was going to try and poison an entire tv channel? That was important information to have.
Donnie hated his visions to the point where, if it were up to him, he would have never shared his ability with anyone. However, fate was a cruel mistress, and Donnie managed to get stuck in a particularly bad waking vision without even noticing it. According to Raph, the vision had left him comatose for several days. Raph had also asked what the vision was about, but Donnie had refused to explain it.
He wasn’t withholding the information because he was embarrassed, or felt like the others wouldn’t understand, what with his emotionless bad boy image and all, but because the vision was useless. Well, visions. Donnie hadn’t been in a loop, seeing the same vision over and over again, but was instead coasting through multiple, falling deeper and deeper into his vision state as the minutes passed. Inside the visions, time was meaningless, as some went by faster then others.
However, even with the time jumble, Donnie hadn’t realized he was stuck in a vision until he had heard Raph trying to talk to him. His biggest brother’s voice had sounded like the equivalent of tv static, words blended together into an indiscernible hum, but the simple act of hearing him at all from somewhere other then directly around him, had almost snapped Donnie out of the trance he was in.
Almost.
It wasn’t until Donnie felt Leo’s presence afterwards, again affected by the nothingness of time, that he was able to pull out of his vision. His brothers had been extremely excited, and clingy, when he was finally fully conscious, and it was nice, but Donnie had only been able to be annoyed at the time.
A part of him wanted to return to his vision, floating into the sea of good fortune and joy he so desperately craved in life, and a part of him was happy to be back with his actual family. However, the largest part was just filled with annoyance. He had been plagued with visions for three days, and not a single thing in them was useful to him in the waking world. He saw Mikey cooking, Raph getting a new bear, Leo winning some competition, his father saying that he was proud of Donnie, Draxum joining in on celebrating some holiday, and all kinds of other stuff. A brain full of useless crap.
Even months later, Donnie refused to talk about his visions. “It will spoil the surprise. If I tell you then you may mess up a good thing. It was just Mikey cooking something again.” None of them were really lies, but Donnie was positive his brothers picked up on his reluctance, especially since they eventually stopped asking.
No, the one with useful visions was his twin. Leo always saw useful things in his visions. Leo was a doom prophet, blessed to see the bad that was coming their way. Donnie was just a soothsayer, cursed with the useless good. Leo didn’t like sharing his visions either, but Donnie had a way around that reluctance. When Leo’s insomnia had gotten worse, and he was awake more times then asleep, Donnie had created him a dreamcatcher. It was a small device, and worked as a white noise machine, but that was just the secondary purpose.
It’s primary purpose was to record Leo’s dreams. The deceive had been created in hopes of finding out a trigger to Leo’s countless nightmares, a way for Donnie to curb behaviors to grant his twin more peaceful dreams, but Donnie had stumbled on facts he had tried to deny for months. Leo’s dreams, no matter how bad, had a habit of coming true. Once it was determined that he was a seer, Donnie switched gears and began studying Leo’s dreams, finding ways to prevent disaster.
That studying led Donnie to learn two things.
One, Leo’s visions didn’t happen in a timeline format, and instead bounced around, very rarely going in order. This added more work for Donnie, as he had to learn the behavior patterns of the bad guys. However, it was a positive, as it became easier to best them in fights.
Two, sometimes the future was set in stone. Whatever forces decided on how the world worked, also decided what things absolutely had to happen. Like the Kraang for example. No matter what they did, Donnie was 100% certain that the Kraang had to happen. As did their first trip to the Hidden City, and the return of Shredder. Donnie however, had yet to determine if the creation of him and his brothers was one of those fixed points as well.
Regardless, none of it truly helped him with his current task, which was the creation of a device intended to temporarily neutralize the regeneration powers of that… worm they sometimes fought. Donnie wasn’t really sure how the worm man generated a doom dream, but it was better to be cautious in his books.
Donnie was in the middle of some less important circuitry when there was a knock at the entrance to his lab. Donnie pretended not to hear it, hoping that his restless leg would be taken as him listening to music, but it seemed that even music wasn’t going to ward off the unwanted visit of his twin.
Leo entered the lab after his second, louder knock, and planted his feet on the other side of Donnie’s desk, where Donnie had no choice but to acknowledge him.
“Sigh, yes dearest brother? What can I help you with, since I am obviously working on nothing important. Also, that was sarcasm, I am very busy, please go away.” Leo was quiet for longer then usual, and Donnie sighed again, this time with his breath and not his words. “What’s up Nardo?”
“I need your help.” Leo’s voice was significantly quieter then usual, and Donnie stopped his work, turning his full attention to the turtle in front of him. His goggles focused on the new visual target, scanning his brother’s physical state.
Bags under his eyes, darker then usual. Shallow scratches on his arm, surrounding area darker. Mask tails uneven. Breathing heavy. Rapid eye movement. Shaking. Shifting weight. Avoiding eye contact. Tear trails on cheeks.
Donnie put down his tools and pushed up his goggles before standing up, offering his arms for a hug. Leo hesitated for only a moment before stepping into reach, wrapping his arms under Donnies, and along the top of the purple turtle’s shell. Donnie held his brother for a moment, before noticing the shifting of his brother's hands as they tried to find a good place to rest. Donnie sighed once more and hit the release mechanism on his battle shell, letting it fall off before returning to the hug.
The two embraced for, what Donnie perceived as, an eternity before Leo stepped back, pulling out of reach of his twin. “Don I,” the slider took a shaky breath before finally looking at Donnie directly. “I had a really bad vision, and I don’t know what to do.”
Donnie thought, studying his twin’s face. Their embrace seemed to have brought new tears to Leo’s eyes, and while he was looking directly at Donnie, Leo’s eyes were still distant. “I’m guessing you need someone to plan out a reaction?”
Leo started off nodding, before shaking his head. “I mean, yes but no? A plan would help, but I need my twin first. It was… I don’t… I can’t…”
Donnie held up a hand, trying to give his brother a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry about telling me. What do you need from me?”
Leo looked around, before his eyes went to his feet. “Can we move out of your lab? I just need to be near you.” Donnie nodded and turned to pick his shell off the ground, intending on putting it away. “Is it okay if I ask you to leave the shell off?”
Donnie nodded. “I was just about to hang it up to charge. My room or yours?”
“Yours is quieter, and the others leave you alone.”
Donnie gave an affirming hum, hung up his shell, and turned to his brother, raising an eyebrow when he saw that Leo had not moved. “Are you coming?”
Leo shook his head as if shaking off a thought, before nodding. “Yeah, let's go.”
The two turtles crossed the lair towards Donnie’s room, when the soft shell noticed no one else around. “What time is it?”
“Two thirty-eight in the morning.”
“Is it really?” Donnie made the statement, regardless of not wanting the answer. If the lair was dead, and it was that late, it meant Leo had just woken up from a vision, and immediately went to Donnie for comfort. That told Donnie more then anything else about his twin’s state.
Donnie flopped down on his bed as dramatically as he could when they arrived, pleased with the chuckle it earned from Leo. He rolled so that his body was parallel to his bed, and patted the bed. Leo hesitated for a moment, and at first seemed like he intended to take a spot next to his twin, but instead took a spot on top of him, laying on his stomach as well.
Donnie grunted, wiggling to shake Leo into a better position. “Get off you, you way a ton!” Leo snorted, so Donnie upped the dramatics. “What are you, a turtle or a magic hippo? I’m gonna be a pancake because of you!” Leo hummed, muttering a want for pancakes. “Lucky you, Mikey’s planning on pancakes soon. Unlucky me, that will only make you heavier.”
“Mikey’s making pancakes soon?” Leo shifted to put his chin on top of Donnie’s who snorted.
“Yeah, strawberry chocolate chip I think. Could you maybe not try and cut my head with your stupid sharp chin?”
“Oh! My favorite!” Leo sat up, and Donnie groaned at the sudden shift in weight.
“Okay, I didn’t think this could get worse, but you made it worse. Get. Down.” Donnie grunted, shaking around to force Leo into a spot that didn’t crush his lungs. Leo laughed, and Donnie paused, thinking. “Wasn’t the last time he made those around the time we found all of those fireworks?”
Leo laughed harder, and Donnie guessed he was nodding with the way the bed shook. “Yeah! Remember the one that went off in Splinter’s room? Oh he was pissed! It was amazing!”
Donnie nodded, twisting onto his side, which knocked the slider off him, sending him into the wall.
“Ow Donnie!” Leo huffed, and sat up, mirroring how Donnie was now sitting, legs folded, and hands holding feet together. Donnie found the position to be extra helpful when he needed to move, but didn’t want to get up. The two rocked in sync with each other.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Leo clammed up again, and Donnie smiled. “That’s okay, I needed to check. If you want to talk at all, you always can. Otherwise, you don’t have to tell me anything.” When Donnie had determined that the silence had gone on too long, he spoke up again. “Do you want to know what Mikey gets Draxum for christmas?”
“How do you know what he got? There’s no way Mikey has already started getting things!” Leo leaned forward, fingers tapping on his feet.
Donnie shrugged, trying to force the information to fit into what would be an acceptable state of unimportance. “I saw it in a vision. He gets him socks. Not just any socks though, wool socks, with sheep on them.”
“Wool socks with sheep? For the sheep man? Oh that’s good! Tell me something else!” Leo was bouncing now, which was good. If Leo was bouncing, he was happy. Donnie rocked backwards, leaning his back against the wall. He adjusted, and put a pillow between his shell and the wall, before speaking again.
“Casey is going to go absolutely nuts when it starts to snow. Apparently it never snowed in his timeline. Cass is going to teach him to play hockey, and if you think Cass is obsessed, then get ready for it being Brightspot’s biggest obsession.”
“Wait, even more then pizza and movie nights?”
“Even more. I wouldn’t be surprised if he skipped the occasional movie to go practice.”
Leo pretended to be offended in the most dramatic way he could. “Now that’s just crazy! How could hockey be better then ‘Pizza and Movies’? That’s blasphemy!” Leo clutched in front of his plastron, in the way an old housewife would clutch a pearl necklace.
“Blasphemy, good one. Where did you learn it?”
“Jupiter Jim comic.” Donnie nodded in approval, and Leo went back to acting dramatic. “We’re gonna have to have a serious talk with Little Hope then.”
“Little Hope?” Donnie tilted his head at the name. He knew that’s what Casey’s Leo had called him, but he also knew that he wasn’t supposed to know that.
“Oh, yeah, it’s just something I picked up.” Leo shrugged off the question, his nerves starting to show again.
Donnie leaned closer to his twin and whispered “it’s okay, I call him Brightspot.”
Leo chuckled, settling back into a more relaxed state. The two sat in the quiet for a moment, before Leo snapped his attention to Donnie. “I have to get something off my chest.” Donnie raised an eyebrow, expecting to hear about Leo’s dream, only to be unpleasantly surprised when Leo’s thing turned out to be a loud burp.
“Really Nardo? How civilized.” Donnie leaned back against the wall, and Leo smiled wide, standing up.
“I’m feeling better already. Thank’s Donnie.”
Donnie caught Leo’s arm as he tried passing by to leave the room, and Leo froze. “Do you want to talk about it?” Donnie watched a shiver go up Leo’s body, and wasn’t surprised when Leo responded with a ‘nope’ before darting out of the room.
Donnie waited on his bed for exactly fifteen minutes, the length of time it took Leo to sprint out a little energy and either portal off or return to his room, and stood. First, he went to his shelves, grabbing a pen and a sticky note. He wrote three notes, and hid them in the small area where his shell didn’t meet his skin. He then snuck into Mikey’s room, where he stuck a note saying ‘Please make Leo strawberry chocolate pancakes’ on Mikey’s mask.
Once the first note was placed, he snuck up to the surface, heading to April’s apartment. He placed the second note that read ‘Please bring Mikey strawberries in the morning’ on the inside of her fire escape window.
Then, Donnie moved onto his next stop. Donnie usually wouldn’t enter Run of the Mill unarmed and shell-less, but he was trying to move quickly, and didn’t have time to return home just yet. Once he was inside, he snuck up to the podium and placed the third note, which read ‘Leo needs an easy win.’
With all the notes placed, Donnie headed home, and checked on Leo when he returned. He looked around for Leo, and was happy to find him sleeping once more.
‘Now, time to see what that dream was.’
Donnie pulled out a tablet with a blue star engraved on the back, turning it on in order to look through Leo’s previous dreams. When he found the one he wanted, and watched it, dread pooling in his gut.
He watched it again, and again, each time growing more and more worried. If Leo’s dream was right, which they almost always were, then Donnie had to amp up security to the lair, and prepare for him, and his brother, to be snatched up, and dragged to the Hidden City.
This is so cool! I love the idea of Donnie "i don't like seeing the good things" Hamato leaving post-it notes to make sure those things do actually happen lol. I love this very much!
Thank yoU!
Lady Maria. She hides the real secret.

Unturtled turtle tots!! I feel like Leo’s trans shell would definitely crack at Mulan and he would impulsively cut his hair (tc*st dni i will bust your spine)
The truth is they just all feed off of each other’s stupid. I love all these stupid Peepaws so much.

I love everything about this!
And aww Damian is following in his father's footsteps adopting seemingly orphaned kids.
Here are some ideas for the au that I hope you like:
- Mikey helping, mostly watching, Alfred prepare meals in the kitchen. He is the semi official taste tester for all of the turtlesafe foods.
"Now how is this Master Michelangelo?" The small turtle opens his mouth for the offered spoon. There is a moment of consideration and then enthusiastic nodding.
- Donnie just sitting with Barbara while she works as Oracle. The clacking of the keyboard calming him down.
She is the one who teaches him to program his first "hello world" and later how to hack surveillance cameras.
- Dick getting the phone call about there being 4 more kids in the house
"Really Bruce"
"It was actually Damian this time"
- Damian telling the tots more about their renaissance name sakes.
- Tim introducing the turtles tots to skateboarding, it is an instant hit, but now they want to borrow his skateboard all the time.
- Leo really likes Nightwings flashier flips and moves, and nearly gives everyone a heart attack when he tries to replicate them.
- Raph decides he will become a vigilante too when he is older, he will be RAPH: the Red Angel of Preventing Harm and he will save others just like they were saved by Robin.
- Mikey and Damian painting together.
- Donnie taking and hiding in Stephs cape, it is purple and the fabric is nice.
- Titus is very patient and careful with the tots. He is warm and they like napping beside him. The red one is his favorit and seems to really like petting his furr. But the red one is also anxious, laying down with his front paws on the red ones shell or legs seems to help.
- Alfred the cat is less fond of the turtles, they splashed him when he walked past their pool.
- Batcow does not know what to think of them.
- Mikey seeing Cass do ballet and falling in love with the dance. They now rehularly dance together, with Mikey trying his best to mimic her movements.
- Leo one day finding Steph stressing and going over her notes for her nursing school exam and asking asking about it. After explaining what she is doing and what a nurse does Leo wants in, he wants to help heal people too! Later they were found sitting in the medbay going over and show how to use a stetoscope or take someones pulse, bloodpresure, check knee reflexes, temperatur, etc. (Medic Leo lets go!)
Leo will also ask Leslie or Alfred to explain what they are doing when they are treating someone but he likes to talk with Steph the most. She explains things in a way that is easier to understand and there are jokes.
- Duke made the mistake of introducing the twins to video games, he did not account for how competitive they would get.
- Donnie is not allowed anywhere near the batmobile unless there are at least two people watching him. They did this mistake once and learned their lessson.
- Jason reads them bedtime stories.
Mikey likes the ones with the coulorful pictures most.
Leos favourites are stories about adventure and brave witty heroes.
Donnie favours sci-fi stories and dramas, the more dramatic the characters the better.
Raph likes stories about friendship and defeating evil, but most of all he likes how Jason does the voices.
- Bruse sees Raph carrying around one of Dicks old plushies. Shortly thereafter he organizes an early morning (less people) excursion to a toy store/build-a-bear equivalent (heavily disguised ofcourse) were Raph gest pick out his very own fluffy best friend, they leave with at least 10.
DC/ROTTMNT Crossover Idea
Okay, so. I am SHOCKED at the lack of DC/ROTTMNT crossovers right now. I wanted to fix that. There's a few versions I have rattling in my brain, but this one is a personal favorite. Whenever I finally make art for it I will post it BUT FOR NOW-
Turtle Tots & Baby Birds.
How it goes is this, Batman and Robin (Damian) are currently busting a meta human trafficking ring at the docks in gotham. As they are releasing the hostages, Robin opens one of the containers to find 4 baby mutant turtles. Raph (5 yrs) standing in the front, arms outstretched as he tries to hide his brothers. Shaking like a leaf, hissing, and a horribly fitting dog muzzle shoved over his face. Leo (4 yrs) is nearly laying on top of Donnie (4 yrs) and Mikey (3 yrs) also trying to protect them. Donnie is in shock, with another muzzle over his face. While Mikey is refusing to leave his shell.
We know Damian LOVES animals, so when Damian sees them he goes “Mine.” and adopts them immediately. Convinces Bruce that these turtles are obviously very different from the average meta human, so they should absolutely take them home and investigate further. No other reason involved of course.
They do take the brothers to the Bat Cave eventually. (Damian refused to let the police see the brothers, with how freaked out they are.) And get them medical attention. Raph is the most roughed up, Donnie & Leo are mostly Okay, but Mikey is sick and still refuses to leave his shell. During this, Batman takes some DNA samples from the 3 more so okay turtles (Just a q-tip with saliva) and runs tests. Finds out how they’re perfect genetic hybrids of their various turtle species, some small traces of unknown DNA (Yo’kai), and action star Lou Jistu, who has been missing without a trace for about 13 years at this point. This of course makes Bruce very concerned and curious. (Bonus points if Bruce was a fan of Lou Jitsu like he is of Grey Ghost)
Meanwhile with the turtles, they are currently feeling ALL the feelings, like:
Raph, he is incredibly suspicious and still in Protective mode. The whole incident with the smuggling ring was his first ever interaction with humans! It was scary! He doesn’t know if these new humans are any better yet.
Leo seems to bounce back almost immediately, babbling about any and everything as he tries to cheer his brothers up. (Hes not fine)
Donnie, who is terrible with change, is temporarily shut down as everything calms down. (He probably snapped at Alfreds or Dr.Thompkins hand when they removed the muzzle from his face on reflex.)
While Mikey is very lethargic, maybe a bit delirious and scared.
The humans around aren’t entirely sure how to treat Mikey given his Turtle DNA yet, tho they do their best. (Damian absolutely goes to the most trustworthy vet he knows and has them swear a blood oath to never tell anyone else about the turtles.) Damian also convinces Bruce to get the fanciest pool, UV lamp, and sand pit for the brothers. They WILL be spoiled rotten Damian will be SURE of it.
Now what of Splinter? Well, he is alive! However he's very hurt. Splinter took the boys to the surface to look for medication for Mikey when they were attacked by the Kidnappers. Splinter, of course, fought to save his sons back but gets shot in the gut and left for dead. (During the fray Raph absolutely bites off the fingers of one of the kidnappers) Splinter gives himself medical attention, barely survives off of pure spite. And as soon as hes able to walk again, he immediately goes to find his sons. Though, not knowing where to start, he goes to Big Mama first. He WILL find his boys.
Misc Info:
I wouldn’t be surprised if the League of Shadows & Hamato Clan know each other. However mostly leave each other alone… well, mostly because you BET Ra’s Al Ghul would want the Hamato’s Ninpo abilities (When Damian finds out the brothers are related to the last known Hamato Clan member, he gets even more protective.) Ra’s probably proposed for a unification of their clans before, but of course. The Hamatos will not touch that crazy with a 100ft pole, and.. Maybe the LoS had a hand in the declining Hamato Clan in an attempt to pressure them to unify. Doesn’t work however. The Hamatos are way less afraid of death than the LoS is after all.
Also wouldn’t be surprised if many magical heroes might’ve heard whispers of the Hamato Clan but put it up to myths. I mean, they are ninja mystic warriors after all.
Turtle Tot Shenanigans:
Now onto the adorable part. Just, let them be cute while plot is happening..
Mikey, when hes feeling better. Absolutely paints on the walls of the Bat Cave & Manor, the batfam keep the paintings in the batcave but had to stop him from painting on the Manor walls.
Leo copying anyone he sees sparring. Damian absolutely tries to give Leo a knife when he sees this but is stopped by Alfred. (The batfam may be a bit weirded out at how fast Leo seems to be learning the moves however. Because he is a built super soldier)
Raph chews on the manor furniture and. Absolutely destroys the legs of every table and chair until he gets something proper to chew on.
Jason or Alfred helping Raph to learn how to read (HC that Raph has dyslexia) Mikey too.
Donnie getting his hands on some bat or Wayne tech, manages to perfectly pull it apart to see how it works… and because hes 4, shoves a piece into his mouth.
Leo: Where are we?
Damian: In Gotham.
Leo: Wheres that?
Damian: In New Jersey.
Leo: …Ew
Anyways thats really all I have for this AU so far. I’m okay if people want to make a fic bout this, just credit me for the idea.
I’m too tired to write a thoughtful description but Splinter loves all of his kids so much you guys
thought abt that actor au a little more. i just think theyre neat
some fun facts below the cut
Keep reading
Been loving all the old men Leo crossovers happening in the fandom so I caved. Poor Replica Leo is just trying to avoid his less than emotionally stable, slightly older counterparts. His therapist says he’s making great progress and hopefully he’ll at least have some of his shit figured out before his inevitable demise. Surely no good would come from associating with them.
Let’s be honest though. He’s just as bad, just has the benefit of not having everyone dead in his life just yet.
Also gotta credit all these amazing people

Casey jr trailing after Leo with his own smaller medkit
you've heard of medic leo, now get ready for medic casey because i refuse to believe future leo didn't teach that kid everything he knew with the hellscape they were living in. he'd teach him from the few medical books he salvaged and sometimes taught him stuff as he was treating people at the base. he also taught him how to take care of shell cracks and such because yes, april and mikey already knew, no, that wasn't gonna stop him from teaching casey too.
raph is concerned by his brother’s coping mechanisms
