*plops a plate of cookies down on the table, slides you a beverage, and sits in the chair backwards*
Ocs. Who ya got?
gasp my hypnotism worked-
*takes cookies* substantial compensation acquired
okay so here we go I’ve got like two that I want to talk about- my babies if you will
natrix and joli are my precious babies and I have decided that everything will be okay and good for them… eventually
if you wanna ask specific questions you can, I’ve fleshed out Joli way more than natrix though, so lemme put some stuff under the cut that I just copy and pasted from my notes lol
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TALK ABOUT MY BOYS AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM TOO (give me an excuse to talk about my creations lol)
Joli
Joli is a spiny turtle mutant
Created and brainwashed by the Kraang but saved by the resistance (remember that Kraang labor camp from the movie?? Yeah…)
The turtles personally helped him recover
Formed bonds with Raph first, then Mikey, then Donnie, then Casey (notice Leonardo is last)
Joli and Leonardo butt heads a lot, especially once Joli’s old personality comes back. He’s quick to criticize and correct Leonardo, which leads to a couple of people doubting Leonardo’s leadership, especially after Raph is gone
They have a bit of an emotional moment after Leonardo saves Joli’s life during a mission gone wrong
Enemies to friends to lovers
Joli dies during that final mission (the one in the first four mins of the movie)
The only reason Mikey died was because his powers had to be strong enough to send Leo and Casey back to the past, as well as place Joli in the past timeline- one in which he didn’t exist before
So now Leonardo and Casey meet Joli in the “past”, Joli’s still Leonardo’s age when they meet, but he remembers nothing about the other timeline, meanwhile Leonardo remembers everything about his husband and Casey remembers everything about his adopted second father
Basically Leonardo has to help Joli remember/ basically fall in love with him again, all while trying not to freak him out about… the whole situation
Some little fun facts include that Joli’s favorite color is indigo and he loves spicy food
another little fun fact is that Joli went through a big redesign, if you look for him in my class doodles you’ll see he was actually a yellow bellied slider before but I saw that spiny turtle on google and was like “I want that one” lol
Now as far as Natrix goes I don’t have as much about him but I do know he works at a bakery in the Hidden City and they have a partner who’s an axolotl yokai named Eros - Natrix is very much just my “here for a good time” child that I might hit with some angst or story with somewhere down the line lol
