Turtle noises and rottmnt
Like ok rottmnt fan works made me search on yt turtles noises cos they're precious
And I'm googling specifically why they meow and chirp and it wasn't what I thought it would be.
Only one mentioned what meowing means and said turtles cries can sound like meowing ;-;
Like these boys can be making these adorable noises while bawling their eyes out ;-;
And chirping one had alot on red eared sliders
One said "It is common for Red eared sliders to chirp. Sometimes, it can mean that your turtle is uncomfortable because of the water temperature, or because they have a respiratory illness."
Which I can now imagine leo meowing when he gets sick enough and can't smooth talk his way out like his brothers being like "You're sick"
Leo: I am *meow* not
But also said "Sometimes, Red eared sliders will chirp if they are bored"
Which I imagine is Leo's verbal stimming lol (and has probably irritated donnie w it lol)
Another one says "Other times, these turtles[red eared sliders] make chirping noises simply because they’re fatigued."
Which again goes back to leo not being able to lie and say he's fine, his chirps can't hide nothing.
Also leatherback hatchlings make noises like chirping. Which I mean none of the rise turtles are but its interesting cos it can happen BEFORE hatching.
The same one also says kinda similar to red eared sliders chirping "Most commonly, baby turtles make these chirping sounds due to stress, although changed water temperatures and sometimes even excited eating can cause turtles to chirp. These chirps can also be due to illness, so look out for any symptoms"
So basically all of them could chirp when they're little and when they're excited to eat.
The only mention of actual happy sounds when they're excited to eat lmao what a mood like no actual vocal cords yet willing to make noise for food.
"Some turtles and tortoises emit tiny squeaks, grunts, and sighs when they're eating. These noises are indicative of the turtle's excitement!"

Sick Days 3
[ 1 - 2 - 3 ]
The unfortunate thing about getting sick in a big family is that when one person falls, the rest follow like dominoes.
My poor brother… he was always the one to get sick right after me. He’d always insist blame on whoever was sick first and grumble about it when we checked on him lol
Also you bet that if Donnie lost his voice his brothers would absolutely be teasing him about it. Someone would be all like “I feel a close kinship with frogs, we’re both amphibians” and he’d be seething in the corner typing furiously about the differences between reptiles and amphibians but no one would open their phone.

TW: depictions of autistic burnout
burnout sucks balls
currently Going Through It™ and i started thinking about how burnout could affect donnie. personally, the tiniest thing going wrong feels so much worse than it actually is. knowing he struggles with equating his self worth to his tech i can see this being a source of frustration for him during these periods.
p.s. please ignore the updated outfit + old lab combo, i was being silly :P
take care of yourself guys

Say what you will about 2012 but they gave Shredder the funniest coworkers ever. Imagine you’re him. You’re a man twisted by grief and delusion on a violent quest for revenge, and every day you wake up to see a rhino and a warthog making out in the hallways. For once you don’t even want to fucking deal with that shit so you try get Bradford to do it and find him in the standard issued Foot Clan bathroom shakily signing his old photos and ugly crying to the outro song of a cartoon he made in the 80s. Your daughter is either being mind controlled or a snake depending on the timeline so forget that, and when you get back to Bebop and Rocksteady (still making out) Xever is now watching nearby in sunglasses and reclining in a deck chair. When you ask him why he replies he couldn’t get past them in the hallway so he decided to make himself comfortable. Tiger Claw is apparently the only somewhat what normal employee you have (ignoring the warrior cats roleplay) but every interaction leaves you with the feeling he’s one step away from making a cult about you as soon as you turn your back. Baxter’s gaslighting you.
