@purpleturtle9000 - Tumblr Blog

Info post! Any questions about things not covered here, just ask.

First things first, my name is Sticks. My pronouns are vae/vaer or it/its. I’m a proshipper and request that antis DNI and that tcest shippers don’t tag me in ship content. I post both Rise and Bayverse stuff of varying kinds. My askbox and DMs are open for requests, headcanons, casual conversation, or whatever else you like. Have fun poking around! ✌️💜

OC tags:

Camera

Hamato Jewel

Hamato Kestrel

Yuichi Saki

Requesting fics:

If it’s been a few days and I never answered, please re-request! Sometimes tumblr eats things, or I might have accidentally deleted it.

I’m not going to guarantee the length of a requested fic. Most will probably be on the short side, under 1k.

I do not write the following:

Character x reader or y/n

Child abuse

Human!turtles

Major character death

Self-harm

Suicide

Tcest

TMNT universe crossovers besides Bayverse (other fandom crossovers on a case-by-case basis)

Collections & Events:

I only place my works in collections for fandom events. I do not add to collections owned by users I don’t know. The Archive allows you to create bookmarks and tag those, so you could tag my works with something like “written by purpleturtle9000” to find them more easily in the future. You can also make a collection and add bookmarks to it.

If you or someone you know is running a fanwork event of some kind, whether ROTTMNT or multifandom, feel free to let me know. I don’t reblog interest check/sign-up posts for events I’m not participating in, and I don’t write for for-profit projects.

Transformative works of my fics:

I’d love it! Consider this blanket permission to create podfics, art, fanmixes, remixes, recursive fics, translations, and anything else you can think of. Use my headcanons in your works, write fics set in one of my AUs, but please do not repost my works or write my OCs in your own fics.

If you make something based on one of my fics, please credit me. On tumblr, tag me in the post. On AO3, find the ‘inspired by another work’ checkbox and fill out the info there. On other sites, link to my tumblr account or the fic directly.

Tags:

These are the tags I use to organise my blog. I also tag all posts with the names of the characters in them, and all posts about a fic/series with its name.

#chatter for posts not related to my fics

#event for announcement posts of events that I’m participating in

#fanmail for all transformative works of my fics

#ficlet for short pieces that don’t fit into a fic but I want to post anyway

#fic request for the asks I receive requesting fics

#headcanon for posts about my headcanons

#my fic for the completed fics I’ve written

#preview for snippets from fics not yet finished

It's my goal to finish some monthly prompt lists and I decided to let people request the characters I write about! comfy-vember is platonic hurt-comfort with an emphasis on comfort, fanovember is literary themes, and fluffcember is all fluff. Links lead to the prompt lists. Plain text prompts are below the cut and I'll cross out prompts as they're requested.

Rules:

You don't have to be following me

One request per person

Send an ask instead of a DM/reply/reblog

Name the event you're requesting for

Request two or three prompts in order of preference, in case somebody else already requested your first choice

Open to all characters and ships but SFW only

Use character names instead of ship names, and specify platonic or romantic for fanovember and fluffcember prompts

Fandoms I'm writing for:

Alien franchise excluding Romulus

AVP

Fallout (show)

Jurassic Park and Jurassic World

Killjoys

Leverage

Pacific Rim

Star Wars (any of the movies, BOBF, Bad Batch, or The Mandalorian)

The Murderbot Diaries

Titanfall 2

TMNT (Bayverse or Rise)

Transformers (Bayverse, Bumblebee, Rise of the Beasts, or TFOne)

#reblogging from my main in case anyone here is interested #i'm much more active over there btw (although it is mostly star wars at the moment)

I finally got a ref sheet for Kestrel! and a few fun facts

- midland smooth softshell turtle, Apalone mutica mutica - one year older than Raph - it/its pronouns - limps on right leg - varying pain and numbness along lower spine from childhood injury - doesn't talk and communicates through sign language or texting - adopts a green-eyed tortoiseshell street cat named Lacy - lighter lines are scars

credits: @phykoha for turtle base, iStock for braid lineart and crystal shape, wikimedia for axe shape, and official Rise reference sheet for battle shell shape

#rottmnt hamato kestrel #i have no design whatsoever in mind for the axe besides its shape so it's just a silhouette for now

I could've sworn I talked about her before, but tumblr isn't showing anything... oh well.

About a year and a half ago, I made a turtle yokai OC based on the Ryukyu black-breasted leaf turtle, an endangered species that's endemic to the Ryukyu islands in Japan. She's the seven-year-old adopted daughter of Yuichi Usagi. Unfortunately, she's also from the bad future of the when i found you series, so... There's that.

I redid the design of her facial markings half a dozen times and I'm still not sure I like it... The actual turtle's face is entirely orange and yellow, but that was overwhelmingly colourful to me. So I did some orange around the mouth and chin, the throat stripes, and a stripe of yellow that goes from the corner of her eyes and down her neck to along the top of her shoulders. I would've liked to have the spots be a little more irregular, but this is pretty much to my liking anyway.

The base is by @phykoha, many thanks!

You live!! Your horse is lovely btw

I live!! and thank you very much :)

#chatter

Spent three hours designing a horse and decided to give her to Kestrel. It names her Mismatch because of her heterochromatic eyes. Where and how did it find a horse in the middle of NYC? None of my business. She's a brindle overo blue roan Paso Fino. I used lineart from BronzeHalo, a roan pattern from Kumoulogy, and a stripe brush from critelli.

#mismatch #i was going to post individual layers to make it more obvious what her patterns are #but then i combined all the layers so i could more easily copy it and accidentally closed the file so

kinda fell off the face of the earth but rewatching Rise reminded me why I love these teetlez so much so I guess I'm back? 👋

I don't know when I'm going to get back to longfic writing but I'll be hanging around here in the meantime! Feel free to send asks, ficlet requests, headcanons, whatever you've got on your mind.

i wanna put rise leo, wify leonardo, and bayverse leo in an elevator and just see what happens

#it'd be bad. so bad. bay!leo would find a way to throw himself out of the elevator

I just know that Leonardo called Usagi babygirl and none of the teens believe he ever dated a girl so they're not sure exactly what was going on with Leonardo's love life but they're all surprised he ever actually dated someone never mind got married

#leoichi #wify meta #they're both so stupid love that for them

purpleturtle9000

Future Leo: I've gotta save whatever dignity I've got left. Teen Leo: You're hanging out with us now, buddy! Dignity's got nothing to do with it!

i just typoed 'leonimrod' and tbh that's canon for tello i think

#wify #rottmnt future donnie #headcanon

i think it would be wildly funny if reality check happened and the other turts took one look at leonardo's new child horde and decided to break space-time to bring usagi back bc clearly leonardo needs a stabilising influence except usagi is a dumb dork and just convinces leonardo to get more kids

#i feel like i mentioned this before i can't remember #i reread my future leoichi fic and was like “yeah they need to coparent a child horde”

i wanna rewatch the bayverse turtle movies but i know i'm gonna get distracted from nanowrimo if i do y'see my problem here?

more wify nonsense

“I get the feeling you’re taking it easy on us,” Raph says.

“That’s no fair!” Mikey whines. “How are we supposed to learn if you’re holding back?”

“Because I’d hurt you if I wasn’t,” Leonardo explains. The thought is tempting sometimes, when it comes to Leo’s continued insistence on calling him ‘Old Blue’ like he’s some kind of elderly hound dog.

He doesn’t actually want to hurt them, though, not in the way they could be if he hit them. There’s occasional slip-ups in training, but Raph’s right, Leonardo is taking it easy on them. They’re accomplished in their own right, but they’re also still teenagers, and not nearly as practised as Leonardo is.

“I could totally beat you,” Leo decides. “I bet the whole ‘taking it easy’ thing is just an excuse so you can save face if one of us wins.”

“That is not what’s happening,” Donnie says from where he lies on his shell on the floor halfway across the gym, not looking away from his phone.

“You said you were putting your headset on noise-cancelling mode,” Mikey points out.

“I also have speech-to-text mode enabled so I can step in when Leo starts being stupid.”

“Shouldn’t that be ‘if Leo starts being stupid’?” Leo asks.

“No.”

#they're all ridiculous i love em bless em #this is followed by future leo and future donnie sparring and also scarring the teen turts with their ferocity #preview #series: when i found you i found me #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt future leo #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo

Leo: You don’t need perfect people to make a perfect team. You need people whose flaws feed into each other. It’s– what do you call it?

Donnie: Codependence.

Leo: Synergy.

#rottmnt incorrect quotes #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie

Leo: Peer pressure me into cleaning my room.

Donnie, not looking up from his phone: Do it or you’re straight.

Leo: I said peer pressure, not threaten.

#rottmnt incorrect quotes #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie

Mikey: Can we get a birthday cake?

Raph: It's not your birthday.

Mikey: The cake won’t know.
