But before we get to opening the first ever TMNT Creature Con to the public, the mod team, Song, Jade, Nighty, Whyam, Nox, and The Zoo, just wants to thank every single one of you for your continued support throughout these past few months.
We've got some awesome AU's joining us, including some you may have never even heard of before. A MASSIVE thank you to every person participating and making this whole event possible in the first place, this wouldn't be possible without you.

Don’t Bring your Past into the Present!!
And, to those who couldn't make it, we want to take a moment of appreciation for you guys too! Booth or not, you people spreading the word and getting excited helped more thank you may think.
Some of our participants probably wouldn't be here with us right now if it weren't for all the kind words and reblogs from people like you.
“Leo! Hey, Leo!” Raph’s voice bellowed down the hall, frustration clear in every syllable as he stomped toward his brother’s room.
Inside, Leo was blissfully unaware. Headphones snug over his head—custom-made by Donnie, complete with bass boost and wireless syncing—he bopped along to the beat, tail thumping lazily against the floor in time with the music.
He was sorting through a row of neatly arranged action figures on his shelf, occasionally adjusting the pose of one or humming along, completely in the zone.
“Stayin' alive, stayin' alive…” Leo sang softly, fingers dancing in rhythm, lips curled in amusement at his own choreography.
Raph walked in, already deadpanning at the sight. In one hand, he held an envelope—one that definitely hadn’t come through any normal mailman. In the other, he grabbed a random comic book off the floor with a groan. “Oh, for the love of—"
Without warning, he hurled the comic book at Leo’s shell.
THWACK!
Leo yelped, nearly dropping one of his figurines. He spun around, yanking off his headphones. The spikes on his shell raised out of surprise.
“Dude! That’s vintage! What is wrong with you?!”
“What’s wrong with you?” Raph shot back, gesturing broadly. “I’ve been calling you for like five minutes! You’re in here doing disco karaoke with your toys!”
“They’re collectibles.” Leo corrected with a huff, walking over. “There’s a difference.”
His gaze dropped to the envelope in Raph’s hand. “What’s that?” He asked, his non-existent brow raised.
“Donnie scanned it already…” Raph said, offering it up with a shrug. “Did a full analysis—no toxins, no weird tech, no hidden glitter bombs. Apparently it’s safe. But it’s addressed to you.”
Leo took it carefully, the paper thick and smooth in his hands. The envelope was sealed with a strange wax stamp. Intrigued, he broke the seal and unfolded the note.
His eyes skimmed the elegant handwriting.
…
….
…..
“What’s CreatureCon?” Leo asked, blinking.
Raph blinked back. “Dunno. Sounds like a convention. Like, Comic-Con but with… creatures?” He grinned like he was proud of that deduction.
Leo gave him a skeptical look but didn’t argue. “Guess that makes me the guest of honor or something.”
He gave a little scan over the letter. Humming curiously, “Right. Well, it seems only…I’m invited. Looks like you and the others will have to stay back.”
“What? No way are you going alone!” Raph snapped, bristling. “You don’t even know who sent this. What if it’s a trap?”
Leo laughs, walking over and casually wrapping an arm around Raph’s shoulders. “Relax, big man. I’m sure you and the others can maybe stop by. Say hello. Tell everyone how awesome I am. Ya know the usual.”
Leo walks away, perking up. “Oh! I should start packing…”
Raph shook his head, deciding it was best to leave Leo be.
The slider mumbled under his breath. “Hm, CreatureCon, sounds cool. I wonder if Donnie from the other dimension will be there…?”
————————————————————————
we did it guys! FTNTH Leo is going to CreatureCon! I’m excited, Leo’s excited, hopefully you’re excited!

OMG MY CHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR FIRST CONVENTION! they grow so fast/j
I’m so grateful for this opportunity! Thank you so, so much! I hope to meet other awesome artists and have fun!
When exploring dimensions and universes, you don't always find you and your family to be... 'normal'. Sometimes, things happen and they are far from the turtles they once were. But that doesn't make them bad! Maybe all of the creatures out there need to know they're not alone...
TMNT: Creature Con is in development!
Are your silly little guys working through situations that have fundamentally changed them on a physical and/or mental level? Well we're here to say come on in! Creature Con is in the works for AUs of all levels of creepy, traumatized, haunted, cursed, mutated one too many times, and more!
We're still solidifying many things but if you or someone you know has an AU that deserves some love and hugs with all the spikes and blood and fangs and extra limbs then stay tuned! Spread the word even! We hope you'll think of participating ❤️
I am so happy. ROTTMNT has given me my artistic spark back once again. I forgot how long it's been since I was drawing this much and pumping out art after art.
