after a while they weren't talking to each other (and they both knew it)
They’d have a lot to talk abt
sorrywhatnow au by @tangledinink gmnt by MEEE <3
The other doodle I posted where they were talking abt schooling was going to be the beginning of this conversation but I had no idea how to tie it in so I just decided not to. And if you’re wondering who started the “who had it worse and who did better” fight it’s IS gm!splinter because of course he did . their sons did bet on whether they’d cry btw

The TMWN fic is the thing keeping me alive at this point, so I doodled up a Leo (his design is just so PRETTY)
(okay fine all of the designs are so so so pretty. My favorite is easily Mikey, but if I draw more of them I'll probably draw donnie cause they're more in my comfort zone)

SPOILERS FOR TEENAGE MUTANT WHAT NOW AU! I just wanted to show how far @tangledinink‘s story has come from start to now, with the first perspectives of Splinter of Chapter 1 and Chapter 17. Because I quickly caught first glance of the first couple paragraphs of Chapter 1 while going to read the newest one and WOW. The writing quality hasn’t changed one bit, but we’ve gone from 0 to 60. Wild. Love your story, man. Gets me every time there’s something new
Chapter 1:
“Did you drink all the milk AGAIN!? Dude!—“
“What?! You know I need an exact milk-to-rice-chex ratio in order to enjoy my breakfast, Leo!”
“Have any of you seen my dance bag? It’s not where I left it!”
“Why do you need it, anyway? Isn’t dance on Thursday?”
“Leo, today is Thursday.”
“What? No, it’s not. If it was Thursday, then my American Literature essay would be due, and I haven’t even started it yet, so there’s NO WAY—“
“If my toaster is destroyed, I will be making whichever child is responsible pay for the replacement!” The warning rang out over the general chaos of the morning.
“Oh shoot—“ Yoshi could hear the frantic scrabble of a belated attempt to rescue the burning pop tart, which Yoshi could smell from all the way in the living room. Parked in his reclining chair, the TV playing in front of him, he munched contentedly on his own breakfast which he had acquired earlier before his teenage sons descended upon the kitchen. He was not much of a ‘morning person,’ but it was a necessity if he was to eat in any sort of peace.
This was a typical morning in the Hamato household.
Chapter 17:
He actually had tried to throw himself over the balcony this time.
Not that it worked. Stupid witch ex-girlfriend and her stupid witch spells.
He had to get out of this goddamn Luxury Box.
Those were his children down there. He should be with them.
He tried everything. Every option he possibly had, he tried it. Pleading, threatening, physically attacking the guards-- thus far, none of it had worked. Of course it hadn’t. Part of him had known it wouldn’t, because Big Mama already knew this song-and-dance and she had never lost before. This was an old game to her. She had over a decade of experience in keeping him where he did not want to be.
If it were that simple to wriggle his way out of her trap, his life would be very different today.
He tried anyway.
All it had gotten him so far was this fuzzy spin to his head and a painful tingle in his nerves that was quite nearly nostalgic.
“Let me down,” he snarled, for the millionth time, clinging to the railings of the balcony so hard that his knuckles were white, absolutely bristling. “I should-- I should get to fight with them. Since when have you ever denied Lou Jitsu a performance? Let me--”
“Noodles, dearheart, that would make it too easy!” She scoffed, tsking a bit, having long since lost interest in anything he had to say. “It’s no fun if it’s not a challenge. But don’t fret, huggypoo. You can still watch. Come on-- sit with me.”

edit: tag! fic!
ive spent a stupid amount of time recently thinking about a rottmnt au where circumstances allow splinter to figure out a way to get cloaking 'brooches' for himself and his children when they are still lil, giving him a chance to raise them as 'normal' kids. (normal kids who are genetically engineered mutant turtles, actually, and they're, like, SO good at sports, dude.)
surely nothing can break this idyllic illusion of a life that splinter has built. definitely nothing that rhymes with daron braxum.
i can only imagine this would work if the threat of both draxum and big mama were neutralized. i think in this universe, draxum's life of crime caught up to him much sooner than it does in canon, and he's imprisoned for his unethical experimentation when the turtles are still little-- raph maybe around six or seven, mikey around four or five. once splinter learns of this, he pulls every string he possibly can to 1) get cloaking crystals for himself and his family 2) cut a deal with big mama to ensure his children's safety.
after spending about a week or two in the sewers fucking drilling the cover story into the children's heads ("remember, mikey, what do you do if people start asking you too many questions?" "CRY!" "good boy!") he very nervously brings them up to the surface, armed with an elaborate story to explain his disappearance and new children and a shitton of forged documents. there was so much fucking paperwork, christ. (also, it turns out the blue one is biologically female? but he does not have the mental space to deal with that so they all just keep calling him leo, and he's totally fine with that. so.)
and he collects ALLLLLLL the royalties, babey.
(the kids are kids, and definitely slip up occasionally or do... weird shit. but, luckily, since they're small children, people pretty much just chalk it up as "oh, these kids have such wild imaginations.")
eventually, enough time passes that the brothers just kinda... forget that they were ever actually turtle mutants who lived in the sewers. coz, like, that's crazy, right? they're pretty sure they just imagined all that stuff. they weren't turtles, they were PRETENDING to be turtles... and people give them weird looks sometimes when they bring it up, so they don't.
overall, they THRIVE on the surface, to no one's surprise. they are, in fact, secretly genetically engineered super soldiers, actually. and they are crazy good at, like. so many things. especially martial arts! they compete at a national level on the regular, in addition to a shit ton of other extracurriculars (ballet, art, basketball, and cooking for mikey, swimming, basketball, gymnastics, and theatre for leo, dance, gymnastics, and swimming for donnie, not even to mention all his academic stuff, basketball, wrestling, and swimming for raph...)
they're still besties with april, obvs.

As per my previous campaign promises--
If I'm Sorry, Teenage Mutant What Now? Leo and Usagi ever met, it'd probably be in the future, and it would probably be the first yokai Leo would ever try to date, and there would probably be,,, a learning curve,,,

Yayyy, now he has a proper, actual reference sheet! Also reflects a few tweaks I've made to his design since the first original pass at it. Rest of the gang forthcoming.

happy mother's day <3
the teenage mutant what now? gang makes a big deal over the holiday every year, making it a point to get the most obnoxious, flowery, stupidly sappy mother's day cards they can find and fussing over their dad the whole day. which they do to be annoying, obviously, and not because they noticed years ago that he always seemed just a little bit sad when the date rolled around, and they wanted to cheer him up.
