My gift for my friend @jabber-wockin as part of of our discord server's perhaps-slightly-delayed secret santa gift exchange! Skitty be upon ye (in convenient phone background size!) <3

[jabber-wockin]

I made this for @soleilthesugarglider for our extremely extended secret santa. I had a lot of fun working on it, I’m glad I drew your name :D

[jabber-wockin]

So I played psychic puppets

[jabber-wockin]

Got my friend @chibanova playing explorers of darkness so I drew their team! What quirky and whimsical adventures will they get up to? >:]

Made an oc drawing game :D

I thought it would be fun to make some prompts to draw ocs with that focused on using visual symbolism to describe the character so I made this.

Feel free to give it a try; The template should be transparent if I did this thing right. If you don’t like prompts you can alter them and you don’t need to stick to a one colour palette like I did. Just have fun!

If you end up drawing stuff for this I’d appreciate if you credit me with the template!

I made a small drawing of @jabber-wockins Mikey she’s everything to me

4 and 23? For your iteration

4- Yes the turtles have money! As for how they get it, Splinter does some remote work where he doesn’t have to reveal that he’s a giant rat. Mikey does art commissions online. Donnie makes money by doing various jobs of questionable legality. They make a lot of cash diving in the river for e-scooters, fixing them up and jailbreaking them so they can be resold. For some reason people love tossing those public e-scooters in the river

23- I don’t have any ocs for my iteration. I prefer to take random named background guys from various tmnt shows and give them an actual character. Which I suppose kinda counts cause I’m just making stuff up lol

[jabber-wockin]

@terrazooid ur guy

[jabber-wockin]

just rewatched The Moons of Thalos 3

[jabber-wockin]

9, 10, 19, 37 (explain chicken yuri), 62 and 78 for ask game!!

9- I'm actually not sure about this one. There probably are but they won't be particularly plot relevant so I haven't really thought about it

10- The utrom are around! Not on earth though, they left thousands of years ago. In their rush they left some of their things behind and a company called TCRI owns all those ancient artifacts now

19- Some folks will end up with a bad knee or something similar but it would be pretty manageable and only flare up occasionally. Nobody looses any limbs or anything

37- THE CHICKEN YURI. Leatherhead, just like the turtles, was mutated in the first mutation event. She was an american alligator stunted from neglect and poor husbandry. Because of this, she didn't make it out of the mutation site before TCRI showed up. Leatherhead was captured and brought to a lab where she was studied as the only surviving mutant. She was alone until Cluckingsworth was put in the cage beside her.

Cluckingsworth was a normal rhode island red chicken until she was mutated by TCRI four days after the initial mutation event. She was, for a very long time, the only survivor of the experiments with mutagen. She spent that long time helping around the lab, getting examined and tested, and spending time with Leatherhead, who she named.

The two were very close. After years in the laboratory they tried to escape. They nearly managed it but their absence was noticed too early. Leatherhead held the TCRI agents off while Cluckingsworth ran for it. Cluckingsworth made it out and kept running until she ended up on the farm of an old lady who goes by CJ. She thinks Leatherhead is dead.

Leatherhead didn't get out. Every day she prays that Cluckingsworth is safe and free.

62- Casey and Raph became best friends right after they stopped wailing on eachother. Possibly while doing it honestly. It didn't take that long for them to start dating either. They each think the other is the coolest person in the whole world

78- Leo plays the accordion and is VERY good at it

[jabber-wockin]

I lowkey just wanna put every number into your askbox, but y'know. 6, 28, 30, 31, 60, 63 and 67 for the super epic and awesome ask game?

I love answering questions but 78 is a lot so thank you for sparing me

6- The battle nexus is an incredibly shady organization that popped up during the second mutation event, when new yorkers were getting mutated. It's a mutant fighting ring that preys on how truly desperate most mutants are. Money in exchange for fighting is a good a deal as many mutants can get

28- There is a Mona Lisa! She's an alien who lands on earth and decides to have fun with this "woman" thing the native population has going on. She is eight and a half feet tall and can breathe fire. Raph loves her

30 and 31- I'm not completely certain yet but I don't think I'm adding the girlies. Cowabummer ik

60- Raph and Leo have a pretty good relationship. They do butt heads and annoy eachother sometimes but they hang out way more often and work together really well

63- Splinter is the turtle's parent and sensei but he's definitely more the former. He taught them how to fight so that they could protect themselves. They're the ones who decided to practice vigilantism

67- When April was eight she decided to go look for critters in the sewer and she found Donnie who had gotten separated from his family. The two bonded over science and when Splinter found them all the other turtles got attached too so April just kept coming down to play with them and quickly became a part of the family

[jabber-wockin]

Don't know if you've ever talked about it before so how about 11 and 12, and then 75 for Mikey!!

11- Shredder and his foot clan are the main villains! Though the EPF does show up later on. Everyone hates these poor turtles so much :(

12- The Shredder's goal is to conquer and rule the world though his motivation for it has changed over the centuries. In the modern day it's control. Saki has lost people before and been hurt. He wants to make sure nobody can leave him, that nobody can hurt him. He wants to be untouchable

75- Mikey is a yellow-bellied slider! They're a subspecies of pond slider just like red-eared sliders. It's actually illegal to sell wildtype red ears in Florida because they could breed with the native yellow-bellied slider population and drive them to extinction!

Silly Raph and Casey drawing. Sorry but Casey Jones has to be a bit of a loser. It’s required

💚, 🩹, 🧪, 👹, 🏳️‍🌈, 🏳️‍⚧️, ♾️? :3

💚- I’m not sure yet :( If I do add some they’ll be humans who got mutated to be turtley rather than the other way around.

🩹- Mikey is! Along with doing stitches and splinting bones, he’s made charts on everyone’s growth and has assembled huge binders of notes on how the mutation has effected each member of the family differently and what sorts of medication and care works on them. My boy knows more about keeping mutants healthy than just about anyone.

🧪- The original mutagen comes from a natural accumulation of magical runoff but TCRI harvested and refined it for their own purposes.

👹- Yes there are! In fact some of the original Hamato clan members were yokai.

You didn’t specify any character for 🏳️‍🌈, 🏳️‍⚧️ and ♾️ so I just wrote out answers for the turtles:

Raph is pansexual and polyamorous. He’s bigender and uses he/she pronouns. For neurodivergence he’s autistic (which comes with ADHD as a bonus)

Donnie is aroace. He’s nonbinary in that he’s kind of a guy but if you asked him his gender he’d look at you like you were a bit dumb and say he’s a turtle. He uses he/they pronouns and is ADHD autistic

Mikey is also aroace and nonbinary, though in the latter case it’s that he has soooo much gender. He’s stealing it and melting it all down in a big cauldron to make gender soup. He already got Donnie’s. Uses any pronouns. Has hyperactive type ADHD

Leo is a gay trans boy with inattentive type ADHD

[jabber-wockin]

🏠 💉 and 🧑‍🍼 for the ask game!!

🏠- The lair is in an abandoned section of one of nyc’s seperated rainwater drainage systems. Each member of the family has their own bedroom but besides that it's mostly open space. There's a dojo and small workshop detached from the main living area and there’s a bigger workshop for vehicles in part of an abandoned train station.

💉- None of the core cast do but nyc does have to deal with mutants eventually and that’s when Mondo, Angel and some others come into the picture.

🧑‍🍼- For the first few months he really struggled, he’d just been mutated and didn’t know anything about turtles but after he met and was taken in by Yoshi they raised the turtles together, Splinter sleeping in the sewers with the boys during the day and sneaking into Yoshi’s apartment at night to spend their waking hours. After Yoshi’s murder around six years later, Splinter moved the boys into the sewers full time. He’s a pretty good parent but it’s hard being a rat without much of a support system, especially right after his dad was killed and he suddenly had to handle quadruplets alone.
