I love @tangledinink ‘s sorry what now au and I love the twins and i’m coming to terms with my femininity so I drew the boys in their fem outfits (go read the fic please it’s so cool)

Modified Donnie’s fit a little bit cause come on you can’t tell me this dork hasn’t ever died their hair purple (totally not projecting) but also that way Leo and him would kinda match (they make me mentally I’ll, I wonder if you could tell /j)

Drawing on its own and bonus doodle under the cut

I love them and they own my soul, transmasc Leo and non-binary Donnie for the win, you go kings

Project: Give the Rise Boys a Mom

basically I was minding my own business a while back when I got the idea to make an AU where the boys had a mom growing up as well as Splinter.

So I made an OC. Her name is Araminta, but she goes by Mint. She’s a curly-haired mouse and she’s the boys’ mom.

She has zero impact on the plot because we all know nothing can stop these boys from causing/getting into chaos. She’s just there to be a stable adult presence in their lives.

anyways here’s a couple snippets of her and the boys interacting.

————————————————- “Oh Mother Dearest! It is I, your favorite child.”

Mint looked up from her book. “Donnie, you know I don’t have favorites.”

Donnie pouted. “Funniest child?”

“Donnie.” Mint gave him a pointed look.

“Dejected sigh. Fine. It is I, Donatello, your not favorite child.” A pause, and Donnie’s eyes narrowed. “Who took my spot? Because if it was Leo he stole the last of the pudding cups and didn’t tell anyone.”

Mint rolled her eyes affectionately. “Did you need something Donniecule, or are you just digging for nonexistent clues about my nonexistent favorite child?”

“One day I shall prove you have a favorite and that said favorite is me, but alas, this is not a research visit.”

—————————————————

“Oh Mamá!”

“Mom-Mom!”

Mint looked up from the pot of soup she was stirring as Leo and Mikey raced into the room.

“Mom-Mom, Leo and I had this idea—“

Leo clamped a hand over Mikey’s mouth. “I’m explaining it, I’m the face man and it was my idea!” He looked up at Mint. “So Mamá, I had this great idea— Yeuck!” Leo cut himself off and shook his hand, then wiped it off on Mikey’s shoulder. “Really? We’re that immature now?”

Mikey gave Leo a smug grin, then turned back to Mint. “As I was saying, we had this idea! There’s an abandoned skatepark on the outskirts of the city and there’s never anyone there!”

“Yeah, we’ve been staking the place out for like a month now and no one’s ever been there! So we were thinking, why not have a family picnic at the abandoned skate park? Then we can show off our moves and have dinner and be outside!”

Donnie, who had quietly been cutting vegetables the entire time, spoke up. “So that’s where you’ve been sneaking off to. Don’t think I haven’t noticed that you both disappear at the same time for roughly two hours every day.”

“Why didn’t you just use your trackers and figure it out?” Leo folded his arms across his chest. “Since we know you put them on us.”

“What? No! I most certainly did…n’t. Put trackers on you. That does not sound like something I would do.” He turned back to the carrots. “You must be mistaken.”

Mint shook her head in exasperation at the twins, then met Mikey’s gaze. “You’re sure there’s no one around?”

“Positive!”

“Did you check for cameras?”

Mikey and Leo grew silent and turned to look at each other.

“No,” Mikey said at last, turning back to Mint.

“I did.” 

All three of them turned to look at Donnie, who slid his precisely chopped carrots off the board and into a bowl of other carrot slices.

“Raph and I followed you there once. I made sure there weren’t any cameras. It’s safe.”

“Hey!” Leo pointed an accusing finger at Donnie. “Then what was that remark about finding out where we were going for?”

“Ensuring that you both know I was aware of your being gone the entire time. You’re not sneaky.”

“I don’t need to be sneaky to wipe that smug grin off your face!” Leo lunged towards Donnie.

Mint caught him with her tail. “Let’s not do that while Donnie’s holding a knife, hm?”

“Evil chuckle,” Donnie said quietly.

“Donnie, that does not mean you have permission to stab your brother.”

Donnie paused and cocked his head, metaphorical gears turning. “Which one?”

“Any of them.”

Donnie’s sharpie eyebrows drew together and he stuck his tongue out in disappointment as he turned back to the carrots.

So that’s Mint :) I might drop some more snippets featuring her every once in a while.

HI!! I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY COOL CROW FACTS AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU ARE PURPLE PERSONIFIED AND VERY VERY COOL! :D

Crows are fascinating birds & they are actually very smart & they don't deserve the bad reputation they have.

Alright, here are some facts:

When a crow dies, its neighbours may have a funeral.

Older crow siblings help the parents co-parent their smaller siblings.

Crows have regional dialects, just like humans.

They are also able to read traffic lights.

Beware, crows are good at facial recognition & thus can hold a grudge. ;)

Crows understand impulse control (unlike Nardo)

But also:

Crows, ravens & parrots have the biggest brain-to-body size ratios of all living bird species.

They’ve shown levels of cognition that put them on par with the great apes. In lab tests, they have shown a much higher density of neurons in their forebrains than primates do.

The number of neurons in this region is thought to correlate with a given animal’s intelligence.

Theoretically, having more neurons translates to better cognitive reasoning.

A 2020 study looked at whether crows, like humans & great apes, can demonstrate consciousness.

Crow brains lack a cerebral cortex, where most of the primate brain’s conscious perception happens. Researchers tracked the brain activity in two crows as they performed different tasks & discovered that they could perceive sensory input, suggesting that there is much more to understand about the evolution of consciousness.

I hope you're satisfied! /g

Thank you for the compliment ~

Ooh~ Are we talking sea creatures?

I got one, Jellyfish 🪼 are basically immortal.

When they get too old, they do a weird thing then BOOM, back to the first stage of their life cycle.

These little guys don’t even have a brain and they’ve figured out immortality.

How cool is that?🐦‍⬛

It's absolutely amazing. I quite enjoy jellyfish.. squishy fellas.
