Just a random ramble, but the creeps have always grown up with me. When I got into them at age 11 they were around my age in my head, a little older. And then I made the blog when I was turning 19, and I made them all older than me, but now they’re not. Not all of them.

Like I was 19 and Jeff was 24, and now I’m 24 and he’s still 24 written on the blog. I almost feel like I should retcon their ages and make them older lol. Because he’s not 24 in my head anymore, but he is on the blog, despite being like closer to his 30s now in my head. It just feels strange to continue aging despite them having canon ages for the blog, even though they’re still aging with me in my head like they always have. I don’t know why this is making me feel so weird in my head??

I dunno. Random thoughts. It’s just weird to think about as a blog owner. I do honestly debate changing their ages sometimes, but I guess it’ll just be a mental thing. I mean even the Slender bros who are hundreds of years old wish I’d made older.

Am I the only one who thinks like this?? Who can say :p just wanted to voice this to the blog since it’s you guys who see my writing and my characters. Just missing when Jeff and the others were so much older than me because mentally they are and then I look at the blog and it’s like “Nah fam they’re your age now” and it’s an existential thought to have, ya know?

This is incredibly disdainful

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

I know x Readers are all in good fun but there is a specific plot device for TMNT that I think is a bit overused at this point. Now I say this as someone who is guilty of doing this, but I think we all could use some fresh material to work with. So without further ado...

TMNT x Reader prompts that DO NOT INVOLVE WATCHING A MOVIE!!

Enjoying a meal together = Dinner Date / Homemade Pizza Night / Late night snacking

Book/Comic Club

Tabletop/Video Games Night 

Power goes out (No electricity) = Horror Stories / Shadow Puppets Shows/ Navigating the dark together

Self defense training/General Workout Session

Drinking Games = Never Have I Ever / Beer Pong / Paint and Drink / Naughty Drinking Games

Tending to injuries (Turtles or Readers)

Cleaning readers space/their space 

Karaoke 

Craft Night

Messing with the other brothers (Pranks)

Winding down for bed = Sleepover forts / Body/Hair care routines / Making up the guest bed(room) / Conversing/Cuddling to fall asleep

Waking up the turtles = Making them breakfast / Being their personal alarm / Consulting/Consoling them after a bad dream

And that's what I got! Hopefully this helps anyone who's stuck on ideas! If anyone wants to add to this feel free! And if you make something based off these prompts, please tag me!! I'd love to see it! 💖
