How The TMNT Brothers Would Text:

Leo:

-• About average: he makes the occasional spelling mistake now and then, but will always find it afterwards and correct them

-• Doesn't use punctuation (no explanation points or commas)

-• Rarely uses emojis, and if he does he types them out. For example: (o . o) \(n u n)/

-• He doesn't go out of his way to copy and paste them either. He can and will type. them. out.

-• He sends his texts "in bulk," meaning he'll type out everything he needs to in one message, but will send any correction texts if needed

-• And if you two ever call? Well, they never last longer than a minute or two. He'll only pick up a call/ decide to call if it's an emergency or to ask for something - otherwise, he finds it unnecessary

Raph:

-• Very sloppy. It might be because his phone is small and his fingers are huge (which does not correlate well). And there will be spelling and grammar mistakes, but he doesn't care

-• He gave up trying to correct them a long time ago

-• He often uses shortcuts and acronyms to bypass his spelling and grammar

-• Sometimes he'll make up his own, and it's your call if you want to sit there and figure it out, or ask him and him not tell you (c'mon it's not that hard to figure out what YMSTSICHJOPBSBNTATCD means)

-• He prefers to call however, so don't expect a long list of texts

-• When he does text, you'll get a bunch of "tiny" messages from him. Mainly from mis-sends, or the texts themselves are very short and full of abbreviations

Donnie:

-• He is very, very good at writing (due to his frequent, and often long, presence in his lab. R.I.P. his notebooks) and his texts reflect that. There are rarely spelling or grammar mistakes, and more often than not will use "big words" (but does try to avoid them if he knows they'll confuse people)

-• If you call him, he will always introduce himself with "You're conversing with Donatello Hamato!"

-• Like Leo, he also sends his texts in bulk, except his are like novels. He tries to avoid it, really! But he can't stop rambling once he gets started

-• If he's tired or busy though, its another story. They're not short/ "tiny" messages like Raph's, but they'll definitely fit on the screen without needing to scroll

-• He occasionally uses emojis, but he mainly just uses acronyms or his own words to convey his feelings

-• He occasionally has trouble reading emotions and feelings through texts, and assumes others do as well - and due to his frequent sarcasm, he worries others won't be able to tell if he's being serious or not through his texts - to combat this, he uses abbreviation tags such as "/srs" and "/j"

Mikey:

-• Surprisingly, his texts are very similar to Leo's. If there's a spelling mistake though, he won't correct it

-• He never uses punctuation, unless its to accentuate/ further his point

-• Loves to use emojis. In fact, most of his texts are more emojis than words. You'll find it gets very colorful in your chatlogs with him

-• And he'll find a way to use every single emoji. It may not be in one text, but within a month, you'll subconsciously will have seen every available emoji to date

-• He will definitely send you random memes or TikToks in the middle of the night - expect to find 30 or so videos in there when you wake up

-• He tends to send his messages in several texts like Raph, but this is only because he gets really excited while talking

•

Thank you for reading. :)

Hello *wave* I really liked your insight into the TMNT franchise and previous meta. There's an article on livejournal that states that people tend to forget that the turtles are raised as ninjas who kill & will kill if necessary. In the 2003 incarnation, it's not shown, but its definitely implied in 2007 movie w/Leo killing the slave traders. The TMNT do seem dangerous but it's almost alarming. What are your thoughts? Do you think that the TMNT hesitate and try other means before killing?

hwhaa, a tmnt ask…. bless u anon (•̥ ̫ •̥)

this is LONG i’m sorry

i don’t think killing is something they pull out as a second or even third resort, no, but i do believe that realistically they’re all aware that sometimes it’s necessary for their own safety and the safety of others. if you think about it, the guys live a lifestyle that’s essentially just one big contradiction: they’re ninja, but they follow a code of honor that more closely resemble samurai.

the thing is, several incarnations claim that they live by bushido, but this just… isn’t true. not strictly, anyway. bushido is very rigid and forthright and it’s pretty much impossible for them to follow it religiously while still operating with all of the trickery and deception and other underhanded tactics that they literally need to use to stay alive. it’s not really their fault, of course, but… it seems a lot more accurate to say that the guys live by a set of morals and personal judgments influenced by bushido, not exactly bushido itself.

what this means is that essentially they’re kind of just ninja cowboys. they live by their own rules and make judgments based on what seems right, this sort of customized moral code that splinter taught to them and they refined for themselves. and sometimes, yes, it involves killing.

they all take it at different paces, of course.

mikey is undoubtedly the most hesitant to kill, and i’m pretty sure he’d in fact avoid it at all costs if he’s able to – the only time i can really see him intentionally killing would be in the heat of the moment. mikey would be the first to ask if there’s another option when they’re talking about the pre-meditated killing of a target, and he’s the last one to put it out of his mind. because of this, i imagine he has the least blood on his hands: his brothers know he has zero taste and little tolerance for it and rarely let the responsibility fall on him. at the same time, mikey does understand that sometimes it’s necessary, and he never looks on his brothers badly for killing. if anything, he only hates that they’re forced to do it, because he knows none of them have the hearts of killers and none of them should ever have to live like they do.

raph is a bit trickier because he just… his lack of control in so many aspects means that he’s had accidents and a lot of not accidents when he loses himself in his rage. i believe this boy has a lot of blood he doesn’t want on his hands. that said – unless the person in question is a truly evil pos that has done real wrong by his family, raphael isn’t someone who takes pleasure in killing. he can be vindictive and hateful and angry, but ultimately, raph just wants the world to leave his family tf alone. he’s not going to throat-stab every guy who pisses him off or snatches a purse. raphael does, however, have a huge berserk button, and it’s the same one that the rest of them have: his family. raph is the kind of person who can and will hunt down and kill someone and be glad about it if they’ve intentionally harmed his family in any way.

don and leo, i think, kind of fall into a similar category: killing is a tool that is sometimes necessary, but it’s never the first or the best option. it’s not a last resort, either, though – and i think these two tackle the issue with a very pragmatic sort of process. is it possible to let this person live without sacrificing the integrity of the plan or our safety? how high are the stakes? don can look at the big picture, and leo is better at the cold calculus, but neither of them take any amount of joy in it at all, no matter the circumstance. but sometimes it has to be done. i do feel like donnie has a harder time with it than leo does, just because leo has more experience with compartmentalizing his emotions in order to make the hard calls, and i think the both of them tend to linger on the lives they’ve taken in the past. but i firmly believe that both leonardo and donatello are willing to get their hands dirty once they’ve decided that that’s what it takes.

of course, these are all assuming that the person in question is a direct threat, and is trying to or already has caused harm to the tmnt or their extended family. if they can be reasoned with, if they’re an overall good-intentioned person, or otherwise, i’m sure the guys would do everything in their power to make sure everyone comes out of the situation alive.

they’re not killers; they don’t want to be.

but they can. and sometimes, they do.

Thank you all for the support I got on my last post! ^^ It really means a lot to see how much y'all enjoyed it, and the support really motivates me to make more for you all! I loved reading your comments as well - thank you so, so much! Now, without further ado:

(TMNT) Pets The Turtles Would Have:

This list includes: - Pets the turtles have had (canonically), and what times I believe they had or will have their pets - based off of the IDW, 2k12, and ROT TMNT. - Only the pets that have actively been their pet-pet, and have lived with them/ interacted/ bonded with them often. - What kinds of pets they would like, if any.

Leo:

-• He isn't too big on the idea of having a pet personally - he feels like his and his brothers' lives are busy enough, and doesn't need more added to them. He worries enough over protecting his brothers and close friends (along with not having the time to properly take care of any pets), and having little creatures running around would add to his stress

-• Besides, he gets his relaxation through meditating and personal time, and the folks he already has and loves are good enough company for him

-• Plus if anything happened to any pet of his, he'd feel guilty about it for years

-• Despite this, he is fine with his brothers having their own tiny companions, seeing as how the pets provide them comfort and make them happy

-• If he absolutely wanted a pet, he'd pick a dog for their loyalty, strength and natural hunting instincts. The Great Dane, German Shorthaired Pointer, and the Jack Russell Terrier would be some of his top picks

Raph:

-• He loves reptiles; lizards, snakes, dinosaurs (assuming dinos were reptilian and not giant birds), turtles - you name it! Considering he is one, he likes the personal relation he has with them and feels like he can look after them better based off of his own needs

-• He worries he would hurt or stress out any other kind of animal, so he sticks to what he knows best

-• Any kind of "bug/ arachnid" pet is off limits. Spiders and cockroaches especially - he cannot stand how weird and creepy they look to him

-• Owned Pets:

- Spike/ Slash (Pet tortoise before mutating, recieved at 16 and "loses" at 16/17)

- Chompy Picasso (Pet alien turtle/ tortoise, recieved at 17/18 and still has)

- Pepperoni (Pet dino, recieves at 20 and will have after Splinter's death)

-• If he had to pick another pet to have, he'd choose a Corn Snake and 100% name them "Corn" or "Pretzel" knowing this boy's naming abilities. I swear, if he doesn't name him "Snakespeare"-

Donnie:

-• Like Leo, he feels like he doesn't have the time to look after a pet, so he actually doesn't want one in fear of accidentally neglecting them

-• Though if he had to choose, he'd pick one that he wouldn't need to smother in affection - like fish

-• He'd most likely pick either Green Swordtails (with Corydoras and Platy Fish as housemates) or Koi Fish (with Goldfish and Suckermouth Catfish as housemates)

-• When he does have spare time, he likes bonding with his brothers' pets, if both his brothers and the pets in question let him

Mikey:

-• An absolute cat person! He finds the little felines very cute, and comforting

-• Of course he finds any small furry animal cute, but cats are his favourite

-• He tends to be drawn to animals who can physically interact with him back - like cats, dogs, rabbits, or birds - and feels he can bond more closely with them that way

-• Owned Pets:

- Ice Cream Kitty (Pet cat, recieved at 15 and still has)

- Klunk (Pet cat, recieves at 19 and will have after Splinter's death)

- Pete (Pet pigeon, recieved at 16 and loses at 18/19)

-• If Mikey were to choose another cat, he'd probably pick a Persian or a Maine Coon. If he wanted another bird, he'd pick Lovebirds or Parakeets

•

-• Other Pets:

- Mayhem (Pet cat-like creature): Collectively all of the brothers' pet. Raph looks after Mayhem the most compared to his brothers. They recieve Mayhem when they're about 17 years old

-• Extra:

- If the boys knew they were going to be gone from the lair for awhile or just needed someone to look after their pets, they'd ask April or you - if you're comfortable or aren't allergic, that is. Casey is just a no-go

- Raph and Mikey are absolute dads when it comes to their little companions. If they notice their buddies aren't doing too well, they - especially Mikey - will freak out and rush to Donnie immediately. Donnie has unwillingly now become a vet

- If you have little companions of your own, no doubt the brothers would love to see them! Bonus points if you have a pet that your favourite turtle brother likes

- Donnie always encourages you to bring your tiny buddies to their doctor and have them seen by professionals, but if you ever have a question or concern about one of your friends, you're always free to ask (Donnie knows a lot about non-human animals, especially reptiles and other aquatic creatures)

- Unfortunately, the guys might not always be available to see you or your pets in-person, so they may ask for you to send them pictures (get ready for some photoshoots, they'll want a lot)

Thank you for reading. :)
