Presenting: The AU I accidentally created OOPSIE!! 😬😬😬
And yes, I know, it's another Seperation AU, and yes YES, I KNOW, they're a bit overdone at this point, bUT LISTEN!! That's precisely how I ended up in this situation!!!
So there's a lot of Seperation AUs exploring a lot of different scenarios with the turtles being raised, well, seperately. I've seen quite a few of them at this point, and despite whatever the combination is when it comes to turtle + parental figure, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed a pattern of specifically Donnie often being raised by a villain. Which makes sense, he has a tendency to put on this evil-mad-scientist-act in the show, so of course a lot of us want to see what Donnie would actually be like as a proper antagonist. But that just made me think think of the opposite possibility, of Donnie being the singular good guy while his brothers are all bad guys. Mind you, I'm sure SOMEONE must've thought of this concept before me, but I haven't seen it! So here we are!
In this AU (which doesn't have a name so don't ask!) Splinter only managed to yoink Donnie during The Incident™, so he ended up an only child, while Raph, Leo and Mikey were raised by Draxum. I also imagine Draxum being at least a decent dad considering the circumstances, so the kids he raised ended up with pretty similar personalities to what they have in canon.
Because of that we get Hero Donnie who acts all villainous cuz he's a total theaterkid, and Villain Raph, Leo and Mikey who act all heroic cuz they honestly believe they're doing the right thing in literally destroying all of humankind and as a result developed an intense case of main character syndrome.
Anyway here's some references-
I don't know how far I'll explore this AU. I fully intended to just make like one or two posts rambling about the basic concept, but when I was drawing these images my brain went into full Brain Blast mode and I started coming up with a bunch of other ideas so uh... we'll see how this turns out later I guess haha

ROTTMNT Headcanons
Turtle Tots! -All hc’s about the turtles as babies
Raph hatched in early October
Leo hatched at about 3 AM August 23 (Leo-Virgo Cusp) and Donnie hatched at the crack of dawn the same day
Mikey overwintered and hatched around mid April
Raph, Leo and Mikey were hatched in captivity. Raph and Mikey were in a zoo, and Leo was the product of an amateur herpetologist not realizing their turtles had bred, and Donnie was had been taken to New York by someone trying to sell a bunch of hatchlings.
Donnie hatched in South Jersey, which is partially why Leo harshes on Jersey so much (the other part is that Jersey sucks)
Splinter assumed that Donnie was the second oldest because he was physically larger but Donnie ran tests when he was a little older and settled the matter
While they all crawled around like human babies, Donnie learned to walk first. He was tired of not being able to move and use his hands
They got stuck on their backs and cried a lot
Leo learned to talk first, which scared the absolute shit out of Splinter who did not expect them to be able to talk with full words. Donnie soon after, then Mikey. Raph didn’t talk for a long time.
Donnie and Leo babbled at each other in a weird grunting/humming-based language for a long while before talking.
The first to learn to read was Donnie, he taught himself, then Raph, who taught Mikey, and Leo didn’t learn until he was like seven.

Rottmnt Yan! Horror movie HC
A/N, not important: I'm just trying to push stuff out fast atp. This was not proofread at all. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
Tw: implied kidnapping, yandere themes, unconsentual touching(nonsexual), forced to watch movies(?), horror movies, my writing
Words: 1172
Summary: Rottmnt yandere headcanons about them watching horror movies w/ you
-Ollie
Mikey:
I think he’d at least tolerate horror movies.
They’re not his favorite genre, him still getting spooked by the jump scares every once in a while.
But he’d watch them, especially if he had you by his side.
There are three ways it can go.
Either 1:
You both are unbothered by the movie, and end up rooting for the villain. Mikey makes a bet with you on who dies first. If you win, you can have an hour of supervised outside time. If he wins, you have to let him shower you in affection to his heart's content without fighting back.
Only problem is, he has access to a phone. He looks it up. You can’t.
Do you take the bet?
Scenario 2:
You love horror movies.
Blood, gore, jump scares?
That’s your niche.
In this case, Mikey would just use movie time as an excuse to hold you close.
He doesn’t mind the movie, but it’s not his thing, so he ends up using movie night as a cuddling session.
Gets annoyed if you try to push him off or regain your personal space.
He’ll just turn off the movie, then continue to lay on you.
Now you have to cuddle him, and you don’t get to even watch your movie.
Option 3:
You hate horror movies.
They scare you, they upset you, you don’t like them.
Whether it’s the gore or the jump scares, horror movies freak you out.
Mikey uses this to his advantage.
Pulls you close and whispers soft nothings into your ear as you cower from the tv.
Pretends like he’s your savior when he turns off the movie, promises cuddles and your favorite food for dinner.
Makes it hard to say no to whatever he wants.
Donnie:
Could not care less about horror movies.
He’s seen worse out on the streets of New York while defending the city. Why should he care about some fake girl getting stabbed by a fake monster?
Horror movies are all stupid to him. Except psychological ones. I could see him enjoying those. He’d like the Saw franchise if it wasn’t so gorey.
You, on the other hand, could make him interested in the movie. It completely depends on your own reactions to said genre.
If you like horror movies? Cool, he’ll play one on a monitor at his desk so you're forced to spend time with him while he works.
Doesn’t pay attention to the movie much, just enjoys having you near him. Even if he forced your hand a tad bit. It’s not his fault you wouldn’t stay in the seat. Even after he went through so much trouble to set up your favorite movie, tsk tsk.
Neutral on horror movies? That’s fine, he just won’t really bring them up unless it’s a family movie night and Leo picked a horror.
Then he’s forcing you to debate the characters with him. If he’s stuck spending time with family, he’s at least going to enjoy it by analyzing the stupidity of the main character.
Makes a lot of backhand comments about the main characters and your similarities, especially if the movie has to do with a kidnapping of some kind.
If you hate horror movies?
Only brings them out on a dark night where he wants you to hold him, but you’re refusing.
Oh wow, you can’t sleep because of nightmares? Don’t worry, Donnie can hold you.
Is incredibly smug about it too.
Especially if you get clingy when scared and his plan works.
Raph:
Not a fan of them.
Will sit through them if he has too, but looks away from the TV or hides behind his phone for the majority of the time.
He already has to deal with enough fighting while taking care of New York and protecting you. Why does he need fake, purposefully scary movies to fuel his paranoia?
He doesn’t, and so he tries his best to avoid them like the plague.
Is incredibly conflicted if you like horror movies.
On the one hand, they make you happy. On the other, they expose you to unnecessary violence, gore, and possible nightmare causers.
Why would you want to subject yourself to that? You must be pulling his leg, there’s no way someone as fragile as you likes the horror genre.
He tries to avoid the subject if you are persistent.
You’d have to be really persuasive if you want to watch a horror movie.
If you are neutral?
Great. They’re never spoken of. He doesn’t suggest them, and he shuts them down if you happen to. Family movie night is ignored if there’s a horror movie going.
He doesn’t like them, you don’t seek them out, why would he try and force you both to watch one?
You don’t need that kind of violence in your life, he’s here to protect you from such topics.
Is like, the only one who will not subject you to horror movies if you hate them.
He doesn’t like them, you don’t like them, why would he subject you both to something you hate?
Plus, you might get nightmares, and while he feels all important and helpful when he comforts you, it’s not the same when it’s his fault.
Gets mad at Leo if he tries to trick you into watching one.
Pretty much all things horror are banned from within a 10 feet radius of you.
Raph will keep you safe, he promises
Leo:
Okay, I’m sorry, but Leo is such an adrenaline junkie.
He loves horror movies.
The thrill, the scares, the violence, the gore.
He’s seen it all before, so why should it bother him?
Plus, now it’s dramatic and thrilling, perfect for a movie night.
Like Donnie, he makes a lot of backhand comments about the main character and your similarities.
Is ecstatic if you like them too, finds it enjoyable to pull you close to him and just watch the movie play.
Whether he’s stolen the projector room for the time being, or holed you both in his room, he enjoys just having a horror movie playing while clinging onto you.
Likes to talk about the movie with you, and gets excited about the new plots during movies he hasn’t seen yet.
If you’re neutral about horror movies, he still makes you watch them.
Gets smug if you hang onto him during scenes you’re uncomfortable with(acting as if you have anything else to hang on to)
He likes to sit you to his side or in front of him, able to pull you close so he can whisper small threats in your ear if you misbehave in any way during your ‘bonding’ time.
He thinks it’s hilarious if you hate horror movies.
“Aww, is my poor little coward afraid of a little movie? Come here, I’ll hold you and keep you safe.”
Still makes you watch them, more for his own enjoyment of seeing you squirm.
Feels guilty when you get nightmares, but the smugness of being the one you go to for comfort makes it worth it
