Hi! Call me chi-chi I am a big rottmnt fan as well as 1987 and 2003 I am a multifandom digital artist, would you like to be friends?
YESSSS CHI CHI ID LOVE THAT
also am I going to use this as an excuse to personally showcase you my tmnt iteration because I need to show someone? Hell no, what kind of Neanderth-
Listen, at heart I am a liar
Basically the premise is what would happen if the turtles were raised in a lab? By Baxter Stockman?
Answer: Angst. Lots of angst. And an excuse to make Donnie the oldest and Leo the youngest HAHAAAAAA
aHEM
The main storyline is that Baxter Stockman has been mocked by the scientific community after his outlandish theory of creating mutants out of normal animals (in his defense, there was no way to prove it without violating some sort of ethical law).
So he went into hiding and created his family. The perfect family. One that was as smart as him, but would finally give him his well deserved praise for his inventions and his endeavors. He chose turtles. Bought them from a store. He always liked them.
I present:
BSMT
Baxter Stockman’s Mutant Turtles
Translation in case you can’t read my sorry excuse of handwriting
Donnie
Based off of ‘03, ‘19, and ‘87
The best at ninjutsu (according to Stockman)
Yes I said it
Wears goggles at all times because he works with Baxter Stockman a lot and the ✨autism✨
Pretty good with kids
Actually his affectionate side is something to be said for
(Also Raph’s but don’t tell him I said that)
But don’t get me wrong this guy is a ✨gossip✨
He and Raph are the ✨gossip✨ queens
And has that older sister sassy glare almost all older siblings have
He teaches a very eager Leo ninjutsu, but will often ramble on the physics of a certain move like a Ted Ed narrator, which is not good for a child with ADHD
Raph
Based off of ‘87, ‘12, and ‘18
Used to be a pretty emotional kid who was prone to outbursts, but Baxter often “chastised” him for that, so now he’s very logical with his anger and only lets it out at certain times when he feels like he’s safe
Sarcastic and rude but hoo boy only the rats will know what happened to you if you dare lay a hand on his brothers
Very good at cooking, mask tails burnt off in a cooking accident
Will tease but won’t dare hurt his brothers
When the family is finally with Splinter he secretly practices Japanese poems (like haikus) and calligraphy with him
Just develops a love for writing poems in general to help deal with his anger in healthy ways, unlike just bottling it and keeping it down in their times with Stockman
Also he becomes a lot more chaotic when he doesn’t have to be as quiet and composed around Stockman. He and Leo love to team up for pranks
Mikey
Based off of ‘87 (do I spy a pattern?)
Just very chill
Likes to listen to lofi and Bossa Nova
Ties his bandana lopsidedly because of course
Reads Calvin and Hobbes with Donnie, magazines with Raph and manga with Leo
The “face man” of the group
Pretty good with talking to people (him and Donnie, although it’s Mikey that craves being social)
Very good sharpshooter
The one guy who will side with Donnie at all times whenever the younger siblings are doing shenanigans (PBJ duo fr fr)
Because he’s the empath he hates fights and will usually try to stop them
Twins with Leo!
Leo
Based off of Rise and Calvin and Hobbes
AuDHD
Very chaotic
He and Mikey have the same mask lengths due to them being twins but Leo manages to tie his correctly
Likes to cosplay sci-fi superheroes like Captain Kirk and Spaceman Spiff (the whole fam is fans of Calvin and Hobbes since Baxter Stockman is too)
Despite being the youngest he’s actually very good at ninjutsu with his katanas
Bro is a force to be reckoned with
Very good at pranks
Also yearns to know what’s outside their lab, which causes problems with Baxter Stockman’s rule to never go outside the lab
Bonus image: excuse the monkey arms on this unfinished drawing of my twins I just got started doing art of anthropomorphic turtles
would you rather fight Bakugo in the sports festival or get milk tea poured all over you by kaminari in front of the whole class???
HA brown sugar milk tea reference??
But EASILY kaminari spilling milk tea on me cause hey shit washes off (for the most part) and deadass I’m not trying to get my ass fucking handed to me but boom boom boy like????
Also Kaminari isn’t a jerk about it?? So easily him yeah
Raph is canonically a Musk Turtle in my AU, and Leo and Mikey are both Diamondback Terrapins that came from the same nest. I’m not sure what Donnie could be, but I’ve narrowed it down to two things:
Turtle Species Donnie could be:
Northern Map Turtle
Wood Turtle

If you can think of any other species let me know!
Also Donnie and Raph official refs are coming soon!
First of all, I’m so sorry about what happened to you with that transphobic little shit.
Second of all, my brainrot is too bad and I’ve now been possessed by your au again, so would you like to infodump to make yourself feel better?
Hope you feel better <3
@novastar-creations awwww shucks, thanks, and I’d be happy to!
if you can’t tell, Raph’s one of my favorite characters. He’s has a crush on April, he loves magazines, they hates a lot of textiles of clothing (and just clothes in general) he’s super protective of his brothers, hes a very strong swimmer and can stay inside water the longest, and their the cook!
Raph loves Tang Shen. She’s the first adult he felt safe to confide to and form a meaningful bond with.
Donnie’s also one of my favs. He secretly goes on twitter (there’s so many idiots there, he just makes fun of everybody.) he went through both instrumental and emotional parentification (and Raph to an extent, now that I think about it) especially the times when they escaped stockman. He built tents for his brothers and made sure that they didn’t have any illnesses or injuries.
he and Mikey like to brainstorm the craziest, most insane idea, like single-handedly take down spacex by building your own aerospace company despite humans not knowing you exist.
He and Raph actually have a pretty good relationship. Raph goes easy on leo and Mikey (much to Leo’s frustration) but makes it their life mission to beat Donnie at sparring since Donnie’s the best fighter after Leo.
Donnie also loves clothes and is the fashionista of the group.
Mikey LOVES Bossa Nova, and Brazilian music in general. He listens to Liana Flores, Stan Getz, Sergio Mendes, and a lot of Lo fi artists too! He loves to sketch, paint, do clay, and he, Raph, and Leo get together to make comic books!
now Leo. LEO. This child is very chaotic. He’s the most interested in Japanese culture, but chastises himself, sometimes to a harmful extent, when he can’t sit still for meditation. He has the best relationship with splinter, and when they actually had parental figures that weren’t, well, kids, Leo goes to splinter whenever he had a nightmare.
edit: @novastar-creations IM SORRY I FORGOT THIS, but Leo and Raph like making songs together! Raph likes to write the lyrics, and Leos practicing the guitar and knows how to play the saxophone!
he’s also pretty smarter and strategic than people give him credit for. Bro will make the most ELABORATE plans to prank his siblings and get away with it. This child is smart, and he uses that to other’s detriment
