[NSG au] What if Morro had ended up with someone else in the Monkie kid universe tho? Basically what if instead of that portal dropping him near Pigsyâs shop, it instead appeared like, in the celestial realm with Nezha, or with Red So nâs family? How would that have changed the au?
I hope you know you caused @randomcrapstories and I to just. Create three whole new AUâs. I blame you for this, anon, I feel like you just dropped some random babies in my lap and walked away.
Either way, now presenting the side AUâs of the Noodle Shop Ghost auâŠ
Demon Bull Morro, aka DB Morro, aka Fan au. Or DB au.
Basically Morro but the Rift dropped them near the Demon Bull Palace instead of in the city. So they end up with PIF and Red Son!! The timing for this changes to before the first movie, like a year or so, so DBK isnât out yet. Morro is a lot less focused on redemption in this version and is just trying their best. Dude got adopted into the DB family. They donât view what heâs doing as likeâŠvillain behavior? Itâs all very familiar and normal to him. Doesnât view himself or the Demon Bull family as the bad guys in the situation. Uhhh more details I guess if yâall ask.
The most angsty Morro of the four AUâs. Hyacinth Sentinel Morro, or the Morro that ended up in the Celestial Realm and henceforth hangs out with Nezha. The au name is Lotus Morro.
This Morro isâŠextremely depressed. Like, super fucking depressed. Theyâre not in the Celestial Realm of their own free will, Morroâs control over the wind is seen as a potential threat and so Morroâs kinda regulated to Heaven. You know how in JTTW Heaven tried to placate/contain Wukong by making him a member of the Celestial Realm and put him in charge of horses?? Yeah like that sorta but Morro is not consenting here. The only real bright spot in their life is big bro Ne Zha.
Fucker got goddamn. Sent some immortal peaches during a festival and ate them without realizing what they were and is now immortal without their consent it sucks Morro is very upset. Man is in a gilded cage.
The last Morro I donât have a ref for yet, but itâs the most wholesome Morro and not part of the prompts given, Noddle and I just came up with it on a whim. Itâs Therapy Morro, or Morro if they ended up with Sandy first and just vibe with them offscreen most of the time. That Morro is very fun and the least traumatized of the gang.
So uh. Yeah. Thanks for the new AUâs, anon, and I expect you to pay child support fucker.
uhhh hi so. This has been cooking in my brain for a few months now (6???) and basically itâs a ROTTMNT Separated AU with Donnie as the focus but like, yâknow. Itâs all of them. I call it Hydrodynamic AU cause a lot of it comes from Donnie being moreâŠwater-based I suppose?? Either way. Yeah.
The story (if I ever find the willpower to draw it up) would revolve around Donnie going out and finding their siblings in the various locations; not to try and turn them towards the side of light or whatever. Donnie just wants to hang out. The universe has other plans, however.
More on each character under the cut!!! And lmk if any of you are interested in this!
Donatello Hamato
âąRaised by Splinter
âąThey/them pronouns (Non-binary!!)
âąGoes by the usual canon nicknames, but mainly uses âDeeâ
âąThis Deeâs whole thing is being extremely water-based
âąDonnie actually knows Repo Mantis before he got mutated! They started sneaking into his junkyard as a kid and got caught and they actually bonded
âąWhen Don got older, they started helping Repo out with repossessing work; the two are even closer after Repo mutated!
âąDon usually doesnât wear their battleshell in this AU! It gets in the way of swimming stuff, so they prefer to be without it most of the time
âąAll of their stuff is painstakingly designed to the waterproof
âąThe whole lair has a ton of water slides in it, itâs super fun
âąAUTISTIC!!!
âąDon is extremely bad at socializing and doesnât know how to mask (nor do they care for it). Canât identify social cues well.
âąStill friends with April; Don also hangs out with the Purple Dragons regularly (they give them âšvalidationâš)
âąAthletic only in how theyâre an avid swimmer
âąReally likes Lou Jitsu movies, and likes hearing their father talk about the films
âąSplinter helps them train when they ask, thought Donnie also trains on their own with just. Copious amounts of research and looking up techniques
âąSplinter is also extremely overprotective of D due to both their soft shell and the fact that he lost Dâs siblings previously.
âąMore open to active destruction than canon Don?? At least in the way thatâs like. More disregarding the well-being of others sometimes. Basically this Donnie doesnât have their brothers to stop them from doing stuff. Violence and loose morals ensue.
âąBuilds Shelldon earlier on in life (was lonely and wanted company)
âąDon has thoroughly explored the cityâs sewers and set up tons of markers so they wouldnât get lost; theyâve practically memorized the layout underground by now. Don has also installed a filtration system in the sewers to help take care of pollution because they donât like how icky the waters can get
âąUses more turtle noises than actual words at times
âąFights with tech bĆ staff, but also knows the basics of other weapons; has the second most proficiency in daggers/knives.
âąDoesnât know anything about mysticism until meeting Mars and Draxum
âąTechnically, Donnie meets Mars first, then Leo, then Rento. However, we later find out that Don has met one of their siblings beforehand and knew of their existence. But thatâs for later.
Marciano Draxum
âąRaised by Draxum
âąHe/they pronouns
âąGoes by Mars most commonly, but other nicknames include Marc, Marcie, Mar-Mar, Marky, Marce, and Marcus
âąDraxum is actually a good parent okay
âąInstead of Doctor Feelings and Doctor Delicate Touch, we get Sir Feelings and Sir Delicate Touch (theyâre used as ranks, itâs some class thing idk. Itâs ranked below Baron is all I know)
âąFeral
âąAt a certain age Draxum started letting them out more (with supervision) and Mars got super friendly with all the yĆkai he came across!! Due to this, Draxum has a much stronger active relationship with the Hidden City yĆkai community.
âąMars uses their free time to create art around the Hidden City
âąHas never seen the surface; wonders what the sky looks like
âąExtremely strong mystic powers that were discovered early on
âąMars knows like, everyone in the city, and by the time theyâre older are allowed to go about it from the lab as he pleases.
âąHas a secret fascination with humans and their stuff that he keeps from his dad
âąDraxum mellows out a tad raising Mars, being fatherly and all that. Still wants to take down humanity, he just wouldnât do it if it meant endangering his child.
âąMars is an extremely adept fighter, having trained with Draxum since they were able to.
âąSecret love for Lou Jitsu movies that he found one day in the yĆkai markets
âąHe and Leo have met before and they have a very intense rivalry. Those two. Do not like one another.
âąThe reason behind the name âMarcianoâ is that I doubted Draxum would name his kid after some human artist. âMarcianoâ has French, Italian, and Latin origins, though I was mainly going for Latin when I chose it. It means little warrior! The name also has a lot of relation to the Roman god of war, Mars, which also happens to be the main nickname I picked! So it fits.
âąDoesnât like to kill; would rather thoroughly incapacitate a person through extreme measures instead.
âąTerrible swimmer
âąDraxumâs whole place is a lot moreâŠnice looking? Itâs got more style and creativity to it. Mars helped decorate.
âąFights with kusari-fundo and hand-to-hand mostly. Also knows the basics of fighting with other weapons.
Leonardo
âąRaised by Big Mama
âąHe/him pronouns
âąTrans man
âąGoes by Leo most commonly; the other in-canon nicknames still apply too
âąBoth outfits are colored after Leoâs pride flags
âąThe paint designs vary a lot, Leo likes to show variety
âąAfter meeting Donnie, he actually starts to incorporate more purple into his color scheme!
âąGay gay gay gay gay gay GAY.
âąFights in the Battle Nexus for fun; really loves the thrill of it.
âąSpoiled
âąManipulative as fuck, picked it up from his mother. EXTREMELY good at lying
âąGets bored easily and will act out to negate this feeling
âąTalks a whole lot while fighting; always making jokes, trying to throw his opponents off their game. (Think Spider-Man or Deadpool)
âąLeo can actually get really violent at times
âąBackstory behind Leoâs name is that they had an old name when they were younger and hadnât come out yet, but upon realizing they were trans, wanted to pick out a new name. Big Mama gave him a ton of resources and books and stuff to help with that process, but it was actually in an old book of Louâs that had been left behind that Leo found the name âLeonardoâ and went with that. Itâs a really stupid coincidence, but it is what it is.
âąThe fact that Leo chose that name from one of Louâs books is bittersweet for Big Mama. And kinda funny lol
âąMars and Leo have a rivalry that formed because of BM and Draxum.
âąSuper fond of Lou Jitsu movies, but can only ever watch them in secret
âąLeo will sneak out to Huesoâs whenever he can because he feels like itâs the one place where he can relax and not have to hold up appearances
âąLeo still knows Spanish in this au
âąHeâs still a very cocky showboat in this, just dial that up to 11.
âąMainly uses Ćdachi or katanas to fight, however, Leo tends to just use whateverâs on hand in matches. Knows how to fight with a wide variety of weapons semi-professionally (and I say that loosely, Leo mostly just wings it)
âąAble to use mystic powers and uses them well, but prefers not to when fighting.
âąLOVES stage magic with a passion, and actually practices it in his spare time.
Rento Jones
âąRaised by the Foot
âąShe/he pronouns
âąGoes by Ren for short
âąBackstory for Rento is that little Cassandra was lonely and didnât have anyone her age in the clan, and the Foot Lieutenant & Brute ended up finding this baby snapping turtle on a whim and gave him to her as a pet. Little did they know Cass just gained a new sister instead of a pet.
âąMuch more prone to violence than in canon (or at least to anger)
âąThe name Rento has a few meanings to it, but I mainly chose it because it started with an R and it fit. And was of Japanese origin.
âąCassandra is adamant about the two of them being siblings, and since Ren didnât have a last name of her own, Cass shared hers
âąRento is still extremely soft on the inside, but is very afraid to show that side to people he doesnât know.
âąThe entire Foot Clan will annihilate you if you hurt Rento in any way
âąThe clan is super fond of its spiky murder reptile!
âąRen doesnât realize what sheâs doing might be seen as âwrongâ, heâs just focused on helping the Foot and being proud of that. Only ever hesitates when directly hurting innocent people or animals comes into the picture.
âąRentoâs only issue is with hurting innocent people or creatures; she wonât hold back if something gets in his way.
âąCass and Ren have a habit of hyping each other up
âąRento is super proud of looking big and scary cause it means she can better protect the people she cares about!
âąCass and Ren can both speak Japanese to a degree
âąShe has a huge collection of plushies that have either been gifts to him or were stolen from large businesses; canât sleep without at least a few plushies around.
âąOnly turtle of the four who doesnât know anything about their backstory or having siblings
âąSwitches between sai and tonfa to fight, but mainly sticks with the sais.
âąSecond-best fighter of the turtles; also knows how to fight with other weapons in basics. Mainly relies on hand-to-hand combat.
âąDoesnât know anything about mysticism
âąNot very good at origami
âąLoves watching Lou Jitsu movies, though Cassandra doesnât share the enthusiasm.
Reeeeeeaaaally shit quality, but. Some acesan and zolu doodles as a treat from a while back.
Idk man Iâm only on episode like 823 or whatever Iâm still in Whole Cake Island. Iâm already brewing up au shit. I love this funky fucking show so much. Everyone is my favorite.
This is the whole sketch page, I was working out design stuff. Every time I draw Ace he looks like he just smoked a joint for some reason. Help.
Luffy sniffing Zoro like a dog looking for a treat was adorable. I fucking love the idea of Zoro justâŠcarrying around meat and tossing it to Luffy like dog treats. Boyfriends.
Read in a zolu fic somewhere about Zoro getting the Strawhat Jolly Roger tattooed on his back (Like Ace with Whitebeardâs symbol) as a show of dedication and loyalty to both Luffy and his crew, and it just. It sent me places.
Scars on a swordsmanâs back and all that.
EDIT: I SWEAR IF I CANT FIND THE FIC THEN IâLL DRAW ART OF IT. I PROMISE. IâM LOOKING FOR IT NOW ITâS JUST BURIED IN MY AO3 HISTORY
I noticed that Zoro started out with a mouth stick when they reunited in Wano, then it disappeared at some point, and Luffy ended up with a mouth stick. This is my interpretation of events. They traded.
(Should I start coloring these shitty doodles or nah??)
The inherent something or other about a being whose whole thing is being joyful, confronted with a terrifying situation in which joy is the last thing you can experience. The mania of it. The forced laughter because you canât stop. Iâm feral about characters okay leave me be
