I am absolutely LIVING off of pirate Leo I swear😭 it fits his personality SO well I am absolutely loving him!! also, DRAXUM MIKEY DRAXUM MIKEY DRAXUM MIKEY!! i love how he can still be a happy little ball of energy and still have draxum as his caretaker:]] Big Mama Donnie always and will forever give me life it fits him SO well. Also, I love how the disaster twins parallel eachother alot whether it was intentional or not, like Donnie was raised by this elegant proper and slightly intimidating woman who Donnie grew up with which I'm sure altered a bit of his personality. And then...on the other hand we have Leo who grew up with freaking pirates. I'm positive when Donnie meets him hes gonna full on "I'm sorry- Your my twin??" Cause bro is a freaking pirate like??(unless they like aren't twins in the au, I need to read up on it more) But anyways, I just think that the dynamic between them is super super fun and interesting. Also, RAPH RAPH RAPH he's SO. COOL. in separated aus even when he's with Splinter. I can almost feel that little dudes anxiety like I cannot imagine man. Sorry for going on a rant I just really like this au :,]
AAA oh my god the excitement i felt when i saw this was nuts. thank you sososo much for takin the time to acknowledge my littl au, it means alot ^^
and honestly, pirate leo is like the thing im most proud of for coming up with, coz i just havent seen anyone else DO it, yknow? so im glad you and some other folks like the idea.
honestly when i was thinking of who to stick the turtles with i was just thinking, 'who would each of them be the most compatible with?', and looking at canon i think the choices are pretty clear,
leo with the pirates, because i wanted him to keep his connection with hueso.
mikey with draxum, because, well, just watch the show, draxxy has some favoritism goin on
donnie with big mama is more for a handfull of small reasons, like the way she compliments his tech and, he soaked up the attention like a sponge, aaaand theyr both purple
and raph honestly mostly stayed with splinter because the man needed to keep at least ONE of his sons, but that doesnt mean raph's story or personality isn't any less changed. And honestly... raph might actually be the turtle who ended up the MOST different from canon...because when i started thinking, alot of raph's anxiety in canon comes from rangling and protecting 3 unruly brothers, like i know he loves them and he wouldnt trade them for the world, but lets just say, his raph chasm in my au as alot more shallow...
aaand heres what donnie and leo's first thoughts upon meeting eachother would probably be like
im gonna try and hopefully make some more stuff to put out for this au. this is honestly the first time iv ever made and fleshed out an idea for an alternate universe like this so im not super sure how to expand on it, uhhh,, story-wise i guess?? but feedback and hearing thoughts deffo helps ^^; 💖💖😊

Whoo‼️ its my separated!Mikey‼️🧡🔥
extra info about him under the cut
-Mikey is the only turtle who remains with Draxum after the lab explosion
-When Mikey was still very young, Draxum viewed him as just one of his experiments, but as Mikey grew up and his personality started showing, Draxum started getting the dreaded paternal feelings
-Draxum used to only refer to him as "Turtle", but begrudgingly accepted him changing his name to Michelangelo (mostly because he would pout and not do his chores if he didn't)
-Mikey is a prodigy with mystic combat due to him starting practicing at a much younger age
-Huginn and Muninn were basically Mikey's nannies growing up
-Mikey customized his shoulder pads to look like Huginn and Muninn
