When exploring dimensions and universes, you don't always find you and your family to be... 'normal'. Sometimes, things happen and they are far from the turtles they once were. But that doesn't make them bad! Maybe all of the creatures out there need to know they're not alone...
TMNT: Creature Con is in development!
Are your silly little guys working through situations that have fundamentally changed them on a physical and/or mental level? Well we're here to say come on in! Creature Con is in the works for AUs of all levels of creepy, traumatized, haunted, cursed, mutated one too many times, and more!
We're still solidifying many things but if you or someone you know has an AU that deserves some love and hugs with all the spikes and blood and fangs and extra limbs then stay tuned! Spread the word even! We hope you'll think of participating ❤️
Hi turtle fans, do you like tmnt events? Comps? Zines? Well, good news! I gathered them all in a spreadsheet!! If I get anything wrong, please tell me, btw :3 (or if you know any other blogs - just please avoid anything that has tc*st in it)
TMNTgust Prompts! get your prompts here! (below the cut)
information: tmntgust is a tmnt based writing event similar to events like inktober and tmntember. posting for the event will begin on august 1st, 2025. to give participants more time to make something for each day the prompt list is going up in advance. this event is open to all tmnt iterations, including fan iterations. there are 41 prompts. one for each day of the month of august and 10 bonus prompts. feel free to alter any prompt here as you please or sub in one of the bonus prompts for any you dont like/dont feel inspired for (my feelings wont be hurt). there are no rules for this event, so feel free to do as many prompts as you like, or feel free to skip around to your heart's content. when you post a work to tumblr, feel free to tag this blog and ill reblog it (provided it is not nsfw bc im not comfortable with that, especially for tmnt stuff). closer to the beginning of the event ill have a collection on ao3 up that you can add your works to if youd like.

April and Raph getting up to shenanigans - @error-core-animations
Donnie finds an old robot vacuum cleaner, adds some upgrades . . . and then loses it
Someone follows Mikey home
Donnie’s hands are injured: his brothers have to help out while he heals
Raph comes home in bad shape
A sewer tunnel caves in, and Leo is trapped
There is a leak somewhere in the sewers above the Lair and the water is getting in. No one from the city has come to fix it on their own, so Donnie has to do it.
Turtles go undercover on a passenger train to find a person of interest (killer, thief, mutant,time traveller, etc. could be a long ride or a short one)
An item that used to belong to Hamato Yoshi appears and the turtles must mount a mission to retrieve it for Splinter (whether he was Hamato Yoshi or not)
Future AU where one of the last surviving core turtles finds a photograph of their family that they haven’t seen in years
200 years in the future, a group of scientists discover the location of the turtles’ lair, looking for information that might help them in their current plight (The Batman (2004) cartoon season 4 episode 7 is the inspiration for this)
After an altercation with their enemies goes wrong, the turtles find themselves stranded at sea in a small sailboat. What could possibly go wrong?
Beach episode! Let the kids have fun!
The turtles parkour through the city, having the time of their lives. Until one turtle almost becomes street pizza and they have to calm them and each other down
Mikey trying to get more human friends - @error-core-animations
Leo and Donnie go on a trip to upstate New York to witness a celestial phenomenon (northern lights, comet, moon shenanigans, stargazing, etc) (maybe the others come along for the ride, but they better bring snacks)
Casey meets the turtles in a Monster Hunter AU. He’s been hunting them as monsters and now he’s finally found them *cue dramatic music*
Splinter and Shredder talking/arguing - @error-core-animations
Time travel! Donatello has just invented a time machine! Unluckily for the others, it works! However, the timing could not be worse as New York is attacked by something and they desperately need Donatello back.
Mikey follows a stray cat through NYC. He has the weird feeling it’s trying to show him something . . .
Give one of the turtles fantasy magic. They’re having a blast with it, but is this a gift or a curse?
One of the turtles opens up about being afraid every time they go out to fight off villains. The others reassure them that this is what bravery is
Raph is bored. Unfortunately (?) for Mikey, Raph has a solution to that
One of the turtles gets a cursed (or blessed) item thrust upon them from the owner of an antique store
One of the turtles takes respite beneath a structure in the middle of some poor weather (rain or snow). While there, they spot a creature that should not exist (be it extinct, mythical, or other). Curiosity gets the better of them and they decide to follow it.
There’s a large mutant creature running around in NYC, wreaking havoc. The turtles have decided to step up to the plate and handle it, but they discover that not everything is as it seems
During an altercation, a turtle gets knocked into a pile of garbage. They see a bright flash of light, and emerge to find that the other turtles and their adversary are all gone. Where did everyone go? And how do they get them back? Can they get them back?
Someone gets hit with a truth spell or serum and cannot stop being brutally honest. This causes problems when they need to save face, keep out of trouble with splinter, or keep important info from an enemy.
Something is in the Lair and the turtles need to find it before it finds them.
Donnie receives a strange signal and he’s not sure what it is.
Local mob boss receives an ominous letter at the claws of an unusual messenger bird. Somehow this becomes the turtles’ problem and they’re not happy about it.
Bonus!
One of the turtles gets lost in the sewer and the remaining people have to go get them out
Someone has a really bad day (ex: injury, lost item/pet, attacked, lost, etc). The rest of the family try to make it better.
One of the turtles gets a tattoo or piercing?
POV you’re the turtle’s vehicle.
Someone turns invisible for a full day.
Farmhouse trip!
Raph has a secret collection that he’s afraid of his brothers discovering. Unfortunately, Mikey does not like leaving his brothers’ secrets as secrets.
The first time the turtles feel the sun on their skin (or go topside at all, if you’re not writing for 2012)
Mikey gets stuck in a tree. Is he a cat? Find out at 11.
Shredder’s POV. What’s he planning?
i tried to keep some of them vague enough that you can insert whatever character you want into there, but feel free to substitute characters as you want!
(i linked to the accounts of people who made submissions and wanted to be credited not everyone wanted credit)
A small yet enterprising team of developers have been meeting to discuss the idea of creating a TMNT webtoon with full worldbuilding, plot, and backstory and would appreciate your input.
The idea is in the development stage at the moment. Per the lead developer, the concept will have to be fleshed out before the exact needs of the project are known.
This post is for information gathering purposes only. The primary question at the moment is whether anyone would be interested in making donations towards development costs. Funds would be used for things such as animation programs and to pay voice actors.
The webtoon would be made purely for the entertainment of TMNT fans and there is no intent to make a profit from it. Any monies collected would go directly to covering costs.
If you have questions about the project, you may comment here to have them answered by one of the lead developers.

December 24th. I took part on @tmntfanevents Christmas event and I got this day. Since clock is 00:02am on December 24th in Finland, I’m posting my art here already now since I might forget / won’t have a chance to post it later.
For this day’s theme I choose reindeer :) Raphael, from my AU, has go see domestic reindeers (with his mate who’s 2016 Leo). While others ignore him, one young one is brave enough to come closer to smell Raphael’s blanket. This gives Raphael great opportunity to take a pic of the animal :)
With this I want to wish you all super wonderful Christmas / Happy Holidays! <3
This art will be added in here later by the “owners” of the page -> https://our-secret-lair.com/

Likes: I like lots of things and will generally read anything. Mostly read angst w comfort. Fluff. Love AUs, turtle tots, human turtles, disaster twins but also Leo's relationship with all of his brothers in general. Leo is my fav for sure :D
Squicks: Not a fan of April/any of the turtles. Probably won't read gore/violence if it's drawn out/heavily detailed? Just DM if unsure. Don’t usually read unhappy endings. Don’t really like if one of the turtles is like a genuine bad brother ( if it’s like a curse/misunderstanding that’s fine)
(I’m sorry I don’t think about likes or squicks often lmao, these are just off the top of my head things I like/avoid)
Favorite Iteration(s): Rottmnt! I also love MM, the Batman movie, 2012, Bayverse, and 2007. I will read, and have read, any iteration though. Those are just the ones I've fully seen/read.
~●○°●○°●○~
Prompt #1
Batman crossover- Dick Grayson (any age), or any other batkids really, meeting the turtles. Any iteration.
Prompt #2
MM reacting to Kendrick Lamar-Drake diss tracks (prompt by my sister). "Drake is the goat" -Raph
Prompt #3
One of the brothers (your choice of who) has to save the other three who are out of commission. The one doing the saving is also injured but hides it. Any iteration.
Prompt #4
Binx the 6 week old kitten who watched over 3 2 week old kittens. One of the turtles is older and taking care of the others until Splinter finds and begins raising them. Any iteration. (I know probably Leo for most but making one of the others the oldest would be great too :D)
Prompt #5
Any iteration being born after an (or that iterations) apocalypse, how it goes, how they survive, etc.
