i have a long weekend so that means more turtles

[risewriter]

ROTTMNT: Group session

Mikey: *In Dr Feelings attire* Alright, this a safe place to let out all that negativity. *Calmly gives Raph the talking stick*

Raph: I.. *Carefully picks his words* strongly dislike Donnie always wanting to be right.

Donnie: I’m sorry, do you mean you hate the fact that I rightfully win arguments? Because, that’s on you.

Raph: *Crushes the talking stick*

Warnings: None!

Leo

He's such a blonde.

Like is this even a question? Its basically canon atp 

He would either bleach his hair, or it would be naturally blonde (albinism)

Whether he's albino or not, he's going to be chronically light skinned regardless.

His brothers stole all his melanin 

I like the albinism headcanon because it makes him stand out even more (we love a boy who loves to be the center of attention)

Also plays into the fact that he is intuitive, and therefore wouldn't need great vision to perform exceptionally in battle

Also explains why he likes sunglasses, he's got sensitive eyes

Speaking of eyes, they're blueish if he's albino. Otherwise they're dark brown.

Waist length dreads/locs

His hair needs to be as extravagant as him

100% puts charms in his hair

I'm the least picky regarding Leo’s hair style, anything over the top works. I'm just being indulgent here. I love long hair Leo.

Donnie

I'm kind of torn on his hair colour

I know he loves purple and would logically dye his hair purple…

But this boy is also a smart fashion mf. He knows that too much of one color drowns you and contrast is important

But then again… he’s the type to know this shit and just fucking ignore it anyways.

It's either purple or he's leaving it black.

THIS👏🏿BOY👏🏿IS👏🏿DARK👏🏿SKINNED👏🏿

I take no criticism on this. He is.

He has a twin brother who is pale as shit. The melanin had to go somewhere

Compulsory dark brown eyes with his melanin and all

Unpopular opinion but... Donnie would totally have his hair in cornrows

He prioritizes comfort over style, and cornrows are low maintenance for this busy boy and good looking too

Fun fact, he’s actually the only one of his brothers who never wears a wig or obtains hair somehow at any point in the show. 

He’s extra bald.

4c hair (coily coily)

Raph

The only one that for sure won't dye his hair

I just don't think he has a reason to tbh

He's not quite light skinned but he's definitely lighter than Donnie and Mikey.

He has tons of birthmarks, large ones too. Big ol' one on his neck and smaller ones down onto his shoulders.

Again, compulsory dark brown eyes

My boy has a buzz.

I honestly considered giving him waves but they're a bit too high maintenance to make sense with his personality and habits.

He prefers low maintenance and easy to manage, unlike Leo's hair

He HATES how Leo's hair gets in the way of training and fights, and has concluded he just doesn't want that problem

Durag Raph.

Mikey

Dyes his hair too often to be considered even remotely healthy

orange tips are a frequent choice, but he also loves doing all his siblings' colors (Red for Raph, Green for April, etc)

The other sibling with melanin

Him and Donnie are the Darkskin Duo

He's not as dark as Donnie, but pretty close. He's darker than Raph.

I like to headcanon him with vitiligo, to replicate his spots and on his hands/fingertips as well.

Im being indulgent here lmao

Again, compulsory dark brown eyes

Mikey sports his natural curls.

I don't have a concrete reason for this, other than the fact that I headcanon Mikey with severe hair damage which results in him losing his curls in the bad future. (I took that little swoop in his hair and RAN WITH IT.) Because of this, i also headcanon him with loose curls to make this make more sense lmao

His baby curls wouldn't do too well in most protective styles so he just doesn't wear them.

My first little drabble :)

[forgetful-nerd]

I think 2003! Raph has a soft spot for any and all Donnies. To the point he'd let them get away with murder if left alone with them.

[mintghostko]

just a short little comic i made for fun :)

i kinda feel like raph is probably scared of bugs and since the twins dont really like dealing with them mikey has to "save" him from all the little crawlies that they get in the sewers (^^ゞ

also i ended up doing a doodly bonus so here you go :p

[sad-leon]

So some of y'all need to go touch some grass and learn that brotherly affection can include forhead and cheek kisses without it being gross

I like to imagine Leo is very affectionate, but when his brothers show him affection, he freezes up. Especially after the invasion, he fucking cries when his brothers show him affection wihtout him needing to "earn it" or anything like that

[idiot-mushroom]

based on when one of my siblings asked me to remove our other sibling from a room

spanish version undercut

basado en cuando uno de mis hermanos me pidió que sacara a nuestro otro hermano de una cuarto

lo siento por todas y cada una de las palabras incorrectas en la versión en español.

TMayNT Day 26: Favourite series.

Riiiiiiiise of the-

Do you guys prefer the version with or without text?

I've accepted I'm just behind at this point lol, but getting through it. Quite happy with this one. I wanted a picture that really shows them rising, in this case literally. Raph being the foundation and helping to support his brothers and they in turn will lift him and each other up when they need it. Couldn't quite figure out how to colour Mikey's hair and make it look good lol.

I have the WIPs bellow if anyone's interested. I put a fair bit of thought into the composition.

[mrsleepytello]

behold, CLOTHES DON'T MAKE THE TURTLE ! . . . PT. 2 WHERE DONNIE ACTUALLY GETS HIS OWN SEGMENT !

[artsybun]

A silly and cute April x Casey comic inspired by one of my fav 03 tmnt scenes

Gotta love protective little brothers that also make it their mission to embarrass their older sister, also i love to think Raph is constantly struggling bc Casey is his best friend too fhfbfhdnj

[hibikiloserl]

quick doodle!

[risewriter]

ROTTMNT: Mosquito

LDM: *Hear Raph slamming the walls of the bathroom*

Raph: *Smirks and exits the bathroom after successfully squishing a mosquito* You’re welcome.

LDM: . . .

Mikey: Well, I had to go to the bathroom, but I’m too scared to go in now.

A chill summer day…for one turtle at least

[mintghostko]

Sunset!

I just really like the idea of the boys sneaking out topside when they were younger and seeing their very first sunset together ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧
