@bluerazzbea, this looks amazing

The Teenage Mutant Sea Turtles

We now have official designs for my TMNT iteration! :D I wanted them to be distinctly different from each other in both head shape and color, and I thought it would be hilarious if Leo, who is the technical oldest (Donnie being only 1 week younger than him) was the shortest of them :3

More info about each turtle under the cut!

Leonardo, 16

Hawksbill Sea Turtle

Oldest of the four, but shortest

Leader by virtue of being the oldest

Golden child of both their parents

Believes he's wiser than his brothers

He actually just delegates all the chores onto his brothers

"I'm the oldest so you do as I say"

Shoves most of his responsibilities onto Donnie and Mikey

works extremely hard to be good at ninjutsu

is a huge ass nerd when it comes to space

actually a huge help for reassurance for Donnie

Donatello, 16

Leatherback Sea Turtle

Tallest of them due to being the biggest turtle

chronic pain in joints due to his size

back problems due to his size

wears a back brace most of the time

OCD

the "Responsible one"

The actual "Mom" and has actually taken care of Mikey and Raph most of his life

fixes everything in the apartment

gets stuck babysitting Raph all the time because Leo refuses to

At one point hated having to look after Raph but turns into a "Menace duo" type situation where Donnie enables Raph

Donnie and Mikey have a silent pack to fuck with Leo at any given moment when able

In the "Hates our older brother Leo" club with Mikey (it's just a joke)

Triceratops robot that Raph named Pepperoni, Donnie calls it Pepper

Michelangelo, 15

Green Sea Turtle

The Middle Child tm

Taller than Leo and likes to shove it in Leo's face

Likes to think about surfing back in Hawaii before they moved to New York for safety

Tends to be ignored by Splinter because Raph is a handful and Leo is a tryhard

Burned out Gifted kid syndrome, extremely talented in ninjutsu but stops trying harder once Leo gains the spotlight as leader

Leo shoves all the gross chores onto him because he doesn't want to do them

Smokes pot with Donnie, got Donnie to smoke because he's a stick in the mud a lot of the time

typically the one with the bad ideas that get him, Donnie, and Raph in trouble

Raphael, 13

Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Second tallest, but youngest of the brothers

must be supervised 24/7 or he WILL chew through the couch or break something

looks up to Donnie because he hangs around him a lot

has a ton of monster trucks and toy cars

uses tires as chew toys

has had the luxury of never having to do any of the chores besides cleaning his own room

Has a pet chicken named Cluckeronni (Ronni for short)

I think I've figured it out

Look at this, Raph has some lore and I think I might have uncovered it *spoilers ahead!*

Look at Raph, looking completely unfazed, it's like he's been to the surface before

Then look at him again, looking unimpressed at the surface, so maybe he has been to the surface before, and what if people taunted or insulted him?

That would explain his hate for being taunted or insulted, and he was being insulted by someone, and started to death threat him, so what if he killed a person while they were taunting him?

Then, there's the taunting again, where Leo said to Raph, "You try to act all tough, but inside you're just a scared little baby" Then with Mikey saying, "Is the little baby gonna cry?" Then Raph saying, "I'm not gonna cry!" and at some point he quits doing it and says, "You won't get it" And with him sounding somewhat ashamed, it adds more context

And Raph tries so hard to keep his brothers safe so they don't end up like him, but then

Splinter "dies" and it doesn't turn out well

And he almost hurt Mikey, possibly leaning into his hate for most humans, Shredder being at the top of the list

Then for him to see it happen again, but this time, right in front of him

Then, for him to think

"It was all my fault"

[anonymousjackal]

why the heck did i make these

[anonymousjackal]

Help, why does it look like Raph has blue eyes

OG (S1 EP2: Rise of the turtles Pt. 2)

Redraw

Exaggerated redraw (why does he look so scary)

[anonymousjackal]

2012 Raph Headcanons

Constantly avoids crying *thinks he might be seen weak or be exposed, may cause him to stress even more*

Is actually scared of being alone *toughs it out being a lone wolf but is scared to be left alone*

Would tease his brothers about his scar being from monsters in the dark to make him seem cooler but was actually because he-
