AGHH I GOT SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS 🥹 I love ur asksss. I apologize in advance cuz I’m about ramble on and on and on

ok!!! So —

vvv

“is there gonna be romance???”

It’s not gonna be a central part of the story but there is some :3 okay. now here’s where I finally reveal that the entire story was originally a short rasey fic idea I had a while ago and scrapped. then when I picked it back up again rasey was still meant to be a very central part of the story. I kind of toned it down slowly until I got to the point where I didn’t even know if I was gonna have them be canon or just leave it sort of implied (to be decided….). So there you have it without Rasey there would be no TMNTU LOL

okayyyy them aside I also originally had Aprilnardo plans but again that kind of ended up in the same case as Rasey, maybe even more so because of something I cannot say for spoilers. Also I know I make Jonatello jokes a lot but it’s just for fun I never intended them to be together cuz they lowkey hate eachothers guts lol. Other ships I’ve considered briefly are Apritello (I thought it’d be interesting cuz of Donnie’s aversion to humans and then him falling in LOVE with one?? Hehe) and then April x Casey (in the earliest version of the story they were kind of strangers and Casey hits on her lol) and before I added Shinigami, Jennika was actually supposed to be in a situationship with Karai lmao. On that topic, one relationship I do completely intend to have is Karai and Shinigami ^_^ they kind of have a secret relationship thing in the current version of that, so not quite the same thing I planned for Karai and Jennika. Oh and both Splinter and Shredder had wives but they’re DEAD so that doesn’t really count….. oh and the stockmans both had spouses but Krystal isn’t with hers anymore… uhh Cassandra has a husband (aka Casey’s stepfather) hrmmm…… tbh I guess a lot of the romance adults aside is mostly just implied right now instead of explicitly shown but I’ve only got the first two parts fully planned so we’ll see where it goes ;3 I’m fine with anyone shipping any of my characters together though as long as you’re respectful and obviously no TCEST or anything of the like ^_^ oh and I don’t have a bebop or rocksteady (yet) but if I did they’d probably be together too heheh

oh and um one weird thing I cling onto as a theme is love being stronger than hate so it’d be kind of weird not to make an acknowledgment of romantic love (even if familial / platonic love is the main focus of the point) so overall yeah there will probably be important romances (Shinirai aside) EVENTUALLY I just don’t have the full plans (I wrote this part in after finishing the ask list so sorry if I just repeated something I already said T_T)

“how do each of the characters react to being sick? like catching the flu?”

When it comes to the turtles, they actually aren’t really used to getting sick, atleast at first. There actually was one time when they were kids (I had an exact timeline for this but idr remember so let’s just say 9-10-11 years old) where Donnie got REALLY ill, like to the point where they weren’t sure he was gonna make it. And like, they’re kids so obviously they didn’t k is what to do, Splinter was trying his best but Don couldn’t keep down anything, not even water, and he had a really high fever. Given what they were they couldn’t really seek medical help. The experience made him somewhat of a germaphobe and both him and Leo freak out when one of the others get so much as the sniffles because they’re scared it’ll get to that point again. I think even once they started going to the surface though they probably wouldn’t get sick much cuz even though they don’t really have much exposure to the outside germs or whatever, the mutagen was kind of partially designed to enhance the immune system…. hmmm definitely something I need to think about more though cuz I need to take in to account autoimmune disorders. ANYWAYS I digress…….. in short, if Leo was sick he’d probably quarantine himself to keep the others safe, Raph probably wouldn’t GAF and he’d be all ‘ah I’m not THAT sick I can handle it’ or sleep the whole day away, Donnie would try to work through it and then fall asleep at his desk, and Mikey would probably snuggle into a blanket and shovel ice cream in his mouth while watching TV OK turtles aside I feel like April would DESPISE being sick. Like when she’s even just a little sick she’s MISERABLE. So much as the sniffles or a bit of a sore throat and she doesn’t want to do anything. She’d be VERY irritable for like two weeks straight. O_o

“do your turtles shed? if so, how do they deal with it? like, do they soak in the bath tub for a while, pick at their skin? etc.”

hmm I thought about this for a little while and decided they would shed but probably less frequently than the average turtle would, so very rarely, with Raph and Leo having the most frequent sheds. Raph would definitely pick at it, like a scab, and I honestly think he’d probably be most annoyed with the shed, to a dramatic degree. Leo would try to get the others to soak but he’d be largely unsuccessful when it came to Mikey cuz of his disdain for water lol. I think Mikey would end up irritating the skin by scratching at it. Donnie would probably be too grossed out to pick at it. Hmmm definitely something I have to think more about

“how well do they all treat their bodies? who treats their body like a temple and who treats it like dirt?”

omg this question made me realize that none of them are all that kind to their bodies O_O

OK ummm with Leo he does enjoy baths, and tries to get rest but being who he is he’s always hiding injuries, big or small, so he doesn’t feel like a liability. this is totally not gonna blow up in his face in the future whattt hehe … also I mentioned I think but he really bad about skipping meals and constantly overworking himself past the point of exhaustion… also he has a bad habit of ‘punishing’ himself for his mistakes so yeah not too great

Raph works out a lot and he generally does do basic self care like eating enough, sleeping right, etc but he’s also very bad about not tending to his injuries or behaving very recklessly cuz he feels he can ‘take it’ / ie feels he has something to prove there…. I genuinely can’t remember if I talked about this before but he also had somewhat of a history with self harm where when he’d get upset enough he’d bite or beat himself, though he doesn’t really do it much anymore

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it Donnie treats his body like shit. He doesn’t like to eat, sleep, etc as I’ve said cuz he feels it’s a waste of time and he could be creating stuff in the moments he’d use on doing that kind of stuff. He has the least amount of energy and motivation when it comes to caring for himself and I’ve honestly been writing him with depression in mind so yeah. He’s not doing so great. I feel like Leo and Donnie do help eachother stay somewhat healthy by constantly getting on eachother about eating / drinking and taking breaks haha. Leo will be like “Donnie when is the last time you had a meal?”, and Donnie would shoot back with, “When’s the last time YOU had a meal?” And there’d be this awkward silence before both get up to eat something…. so it… kind of works out?

I don’t feel like Mikey is purposely mistreating his body and honestly he’s probably the best off of the turtles but I wouldn’t say he treats it like a temple or whatever. I mentioned it a few times but he specifically has an aversion to water and he’s probably dehydrated more often than not, and he REALLY doesn’t like baths so Leo basically has to scrub him down every once and a while to keep him clean. But like if he had an injury he’d go to Donnie, he eats right, and he tries to sleep normally but he has insomnia so he struggles ,,, with raph he’s also the most insecure / hateful of their mutated form and realllyyyy wishes he was human. Or a cat. Cats work too

With Casey he was malnourished when Raph meets him and he honestly eats so much junk food. He’s not like consciously out to sabotage himself but I don’t think he much cares for his body, or atleast doesn’t really go out of the way to show it special care. He’s pretty reckless and gets injured easily because of it

April’s probably the healthiest of the six. She gets plenty of exercise but doesn’t overwork herself, she tries to take care of her appearance cuz she really wants to make an impression on others, and she eats relatively normally. She grew up without any women in her life but instead of trying to go into things blind I think she’d do a lot of research so she’s probably got a better understanding of her body than the others have of theirs, and I do feel she’d go out of the way to take care of it ^_^

“do any of your characters enjoy sleeping with plushies??”

RAPH AND MIKEY!!! Raph specifically has a Charmander plush that he looooves but he’s pretty embarrassed of it until Casey hypes it up lol and Mikey was the kid who ended up with any of the plushies Splinter brought them, usually cuz he’d snatch them. He really loves animals so he has a bunch of animal stuffies and also a SpongeBob one. His bed is like 80% plushies which is funny considering he usually doesn’t even sleep in his bed. They were his favorite thing to play with as a young child

“do any of your characters vocal stim? I'm pretty sure Mikey meows :3 but is there anyone else?”

yesss mikey is a meow-er (and generally any sounds starting with m specifically) and the only one of them who really has any vocal stims, he specifically likes to repeat sounds (which Raph has always found annoying). Raph and Leo also stim but not vocally ^_^

“how did Donnie get his interest in tech?”

Part of it was him wanting to help the others and the other was genuine intrigue with the way things worked. Like when they first got the TV he was just completely amazed and wanted to pick it apart to figure it out. It truly started when said television broke and he played around with it until it was fixed and from that point on he kept fixing and ‘inventing’ things. If Splinter would bring anything no one wanted or used he’d scrap it for parts (he hoards a lot of parts in case he ever needs them), and slowly as he figured things out he made more and more advanced things. The others would praise him or get excited about his gadgets and it gave him an odd sense of accomplishment that he DEFINITELY did not get a lot of as a kid. I guess it did kind of end up becoming unhealthy though as he began placing all of his worth into what he could make / do and now neglects his wellbeing in favor of working on his projects.

“is there a questions that you have been dying for someone to ask? answer it!”

Hmm I don't think there’s a specific question I wanted to answer but there is some random stuff I’ve been wanting to talk about but haven’t found the chance to squeeze it into any posts….. the thing with rasey starting the whole fic was actually one of those things lol so without further ado I will now drop completely random story information:

the stockmans and shredder both knew the turtles as human kids and frequently saw them prior to their mutation, but after Splinter and the boys were mutated everyone thinks they are dead and a funeral ceremony is held for them despite there being no body or evidence of them dying. Baxter doesn’t recognize the turtles at first but Shredder will immediately connect the dots …… also Baxter ends up working under Shredder (they actually were working together before the mutation incident but went their separate ways and Baxter began working for the Purple Dragons) but they both DESPISE each other. unfortunately Baxter doesn’t really have a choice

Also random but Donnie and Splinter both just straight up lie a bunch and I won’t always acknowledge it I’m just gonna trust readers to catch it

ok one last random answer: the date. TMNTU was supposed to be set this year (so 2026) and originally it was supposed to be somewhere between June-August for the first part but then I remembered….. summer break…… and uh since school is somewhat prevalent for April during that part I moved it and now it’s supposed to take place between late May - early June (the entirety of the first part takes place over a course of like 8-10 days I think), and there was supposed to be about 3-5 months between the first and second part…….. I don’t have set days for their birthdays but Leo’s was meant to be January 2010, Karai’s would be February 2009, Raph and Donnie’s would be March 2011, April’s May 2011, Mikey October 2012, and then Casey was born in December 2009 (so Leo, April, Karai, and Raph and Donnie have already had birthdays before it starts)

“how do each of the turtles text? like do they use emojis? do they use proper grammar and spelling? etc.”

Leo would probably have the best grammar and honestly driest texts. He’s the guy who puts periods at the end of EVERY text and I don’t think he’d really use emojis, he’s probably drop a :) here and there, and I don’t think he’d use abbreviations either (like brb, idk, etc)

Raph I don’t think would care to double check his grammar or spelling, and I think all of his longer texts would be incomprehensible because he doesn’t understand commas (none of them went to school so there knowledge / education came entirely from what Splinter taught them or what they’d figure out themselves through what little they had). I think he’d pull an emoji here and there like 😡😡😡😒😒😐😐😐. Also he’d like caps way too much

Despite being the smartest I feel like Donnie would constantly make typos because he’s typing so fast and at some point he just gives up trying to correct them so half his texts look like this (exposing myself here cuz I couldn’t find better examples):

and I think he’d only use emojis or kaomojis when he’s displeased. Like not :) or >:( but he’d really love to drop a ;-; or -_- in the chat lols

Mikey would be the most expressive. He’d pull ALL the emojis and kaomojis. He’s gonna :3 :D O_O 🧡 😋 😼 🔥 his heart out. I think he’d like to keysmash too hehe but I don’t think he’d pay too much mind to his spelling, and given that he’s always read the least of the four (and yknow. Dyslexia) he would probably misspell stuff a bunch

“if you had to choose from all your characters from tmntu who's your favorite? if you chose a turtle, who's you favorite non turtle character?”

I love all of them but Mikey is probably my favorite 🥹 I really adore him he’s very important to me. non-turtle wise I really adore Karai. Some other special mentions (other than the turtles ofc theyre all four my sons) : Mona, Krystal (she wasn’t supposed to be too important but I did get attached 🥹), Casey, April, and then I’m growing onto Jennika and Bonnie as I work on their stories too….. probably more I forgot I just get attached way too easily LOL

“(I can't remember whether or not I've asked this before) who likes pineapple on pizza and who hates it?”

You did ask this so I’ll screenshot the answer but also

I forgot when I originally answered that Mikey specifically asks for pineapple pizza in one of the scenes LOL so Mikey is definitely the one enjoying pineapple pizza, and Casey would probably quietly judge

AGGH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASKS I HAD SO MYCH FUN :3 :3 it was a LOT and I have a bad habit of rambling BUT I hope you enjoyed my answers hehe ^_^
