I’m happy to know I inspired you, even if it’s only a little ^^

(Though given the kinds of things Naomi deals with, Satsuki being her apprentice would probably kick poor Leo’s anxiety into overdrive XD)

🙂👍

(Poor Leo. I'm not sure whether or not Naomi having the confidence of someone who has met God and wasn't impressed would help with the anxiety, but her promising to protect Satsuki like he's her own son definitely would.)

"of course it doesn't mean much when they always order pizzas by the tens" THE TENS?!?!? What kind of metabolism do these boys have???

Whatever happens when you fuse a supersoldier's metabolism with the one of a growing teenage boy about to hit a growth spurt.

[hopeaterart]

Okay, I love all your tmnt AUs despite having no idea the differences between them. But seriously what’s the main story???

First of all, thank you!!!

After that, I only really have one AU: From the Hidden City, which is more of an iteration than an alternate universe.

The basic plot is that the Turtles were raised on the road by Splinter's brother (Saki) instead of in the sewers by Splinter. Once they're fourteen, Saki suddenly drives all the way to New York, tells them they have to separate, and then gives them cryptic information on how to find a hidden city in the sewers and then their uncle Yoshi in said Hidden City, then disappears. They find their uncle, now a rat man called Splinter, and start training to be ninjas under him.

The plot of the first season starts out as pretty episodic, focused on the turtles getting accustomed to life in the Hidden City, living in Splinter's clinic, and training with him. There's also a vague plot of them trying to find their dad in New York, and encountering other mutants along the way. The second half of that season sees the introduction of April and Casey, who then get them mixed up in a plan to stop the Purple Dragon gang, led by Hun. They stop him, get him arrested, and then Karai shows up in the last five minutes to shoot him in the face.

Second season follows the episodic nature, with now a new objective: make a retromutagen. Mostly focus on Donnie, as we see him build Metalhead and start beef with Baxter Stockman on Twitter. They also bond more with April and Casey. Then, haldway through, Splinter informs the turtles that they're broke, and they react to those hy entering the Battle Nexus tournament. We meet a lot of important characters, including Big Mama, both Raph's and Leo's love interests, Zia, and the Shredder. Shredder beats the shit out of Leo, Mikey wins the tournament, and the myth arc starts kicking into gear.

Third season is basically the Turtles starting to contend with the Foot Clan and how they improve over them. Leo has a depression arc. The first actual arc is about them finding out their origins, which includes Draxum's introduction and Zia joining the main cast. The mutants get un-mutated, there's two arcs in the middle that properly introduces the Animal 5 (this verse's Mighty Mutanimals, her composed of Slash, Leatherhead, Mona Lisa, Mondo Gecko and Jennika), Rat King, Renet (joins the Hamato clan here), and Bishop, we properly meet Karai and see the more human side of the Foot Clan through her. Baxter Stockman continues being a problem and gets recruited by the Foot Clan. Raph gets a girlfriend. Last episodes drops a massive bombshell: the Shredder is actually a possessed Saki.

Fourth season is about saving Saki. Raph is temporarily made leader for the first third while Leo recovers from said depression arc. We meet Ronin, which is a future version of Mikey from a disastrously apocalyptic future. Baxter Stockman stops being a problem after he gets mutated for joining the Foot Clan. Bishop continues being a problem. We meet Krang through Karai's eyes, and he's essentially the "god" of the Foot Clan. Leo gets a boyfriend. Donnie, April and Casey all start dating each other. The season ends with Karai defecting from the Foot due to a crisis of conscience and helps the Turtles with exorcising their dad.

Fifth season is about wrapping up the mess. We find out that the ghost who was possessing Saki was Oroku Higa, his ex husband he accidentally killed during an adrenaline-filled moment. Karai completes the redemption arc she started at the end of Season 4. We meet Habiki, Splinter and Saki's mother, who made them go through horrific training as children that most sane people would consider abusive (she regrets doing that immensely). Karai succeeds in getting her gang to also defect from the Foot with some conflict, the Foot succeeds in getting some scrolls to start opening a portal for the rest of the Utroms, Ronin probably kills someone, I'm still working on that part of Season 5. Also, April has an arc where she finds out that her father has a magic crystal that can bring drawings to life, and grapples with the fact that she might be a drawing. The conflict ends with the Hamato Clan storming the Foot, the turtles tackling Krang, and Krang almost killing them, and only being foiled because Ronin finished opening the portal for him in exchange for their lives, before jumping Krang, throwing the both of themselves in the portal and closing it from the inside. His last words to the turtles are that Krang is not the end of things, that he loves them, and to know peace. The actual last episode of Season 5 is the denouement of the first five seasons, and originally served as the finale before I decided to expend beyond it.

The movie marks the beginning of the post-timeskip. The turtles are now eighteen, and have more-or-less fully recovered from the Foot and Krang. The movie's plot is basically about the Fugitoid/Dr. Honeycutt crashlanding on Earyh and the Triceratons attempting to invade the place as a result. The turtles stop them, Leo kills the leader and has a crisis about it, it's great. Also serves to establish that everyone is doing fine after the timeskip.

Season 6 is still mostly in the works, but I already have a few arcs planned: Raph and the Animal 5 going to Mona's planet to help, Mikey and Renet encountering a bunch of time travellers who turn out to be Mikey's niephlings who have the mission to foil Renet's shitty fathers, Zia and the Animal 5 (minus Mona who's still recovering from space travel arc) permanently taking down one of the biggest mafia boss in the Hidden City, Zia getting in her first relationship and it ending badly, and Leo grappling with the fact that he killed someone. I don't know what to do with April, Donnie and Casey yet, I'm thinking that Casey gets an arc about his sister and preventing her from reforming the Purple Dragons.

Season 7 has three main arcs: Karai meeting the Hamato Clan and witnessing how dysfunctional they truly are, crossover arc with Danny Phantom where Saki goes to Amity Park with April and Casey to investigate the ghosts, and Usagi having to grapple with his family's killer, Jei, is back , and the turtles + Splinter helping him. Hamato arc ends in Karai being named the heir and getting into a fight to the death with someone about it (she wins and spares him), DP arc ends in Higa almost being brought back and he and Saki doing the closest thing they can to making peace, and Jei arc ends in the Turtles and Usagi banishing Jei from the mortal plane for good.

Season 8 is still a bit all over the place as I haven't finished outlining it. All I know is that Draxum unhides the Hidden City, that Zia gets in a relationship with someone who wanted to use her position and she ends up dumping them, that Donnie has an arc with April and Casey about them going to college and how he would like to follow them, and that Ch'Rell is there.

There's obviously a tone of other info you can find by browning my tmnt:fhc tag, like my Turtles Forever idea, or more on the other characters.

[hopeaterart]

For a family of ninja, the Hamato clan sure has a weird tendency to get famous. (Splinter was a movie star, Mikey becomes a Battle Nexus champion, and all four turtles end up getting hailed worldwide as heroes)

That was Splinter's objective, Mikey may be stupid for real, and the Turtles had a clear-cut further agenda with that last one: good publicity for the Hidden City.

[hopeaterart]

One wonders how Splinter feels about Donnie making all this terrifying stuff in HIS house.

Mad and tired, honestly.

[hopeaterart]

So Metalhead was…probably built from scraps of metal. Huh. Donnie’s a genius and also very scary.

You get it! ^^

And Donnie probably updated Metalhead with better materials as time went on. Nothing but the best for his robot child.

[hopeaterart]

Why DID Donnie think that was a good idea? XD

Because Donnie thinks that works of science-fiction such as Don't Create The Torment Nexus don't apply to him. Sometimes, this even works out for him (Metalhead)!

[hopeaterart]

Very good thing its first field test was against a guy who both can’t be killed and objectively deserves the slapstick and not a regular person whose death would probably traumatize the turtles even more than they already are.

OH YEAH. Leo still yelled at Donnie about it, though. Mainly about "what if it had been a regular person" and "why did you put flamethrowers in the walls".

[hopeaterart]

Okay i have two things to ask

1. What is TMNT:fhc

2. Is my boy Rahzar in it?

My TMNT iteration, where the turtles were raiser by Splinter's brother instead of him, and then move to thw Hidden City to train under him to become ninjas!

Yes, as a very minor character. He's a homeless kid that Koya used to watch over before joing the Foot Clan.

[hopeaterart]

Holy crap, Hamatos breed like rabbits. /j (No offense, Usagi.)

You can thank the arranged marriages, the marriages that are about being extremely head over heels for your spouse, and the tendency for multiples for that.

(While Usagi would rightfully be offended by this, HE AND LEO END UP HAVING SEVEN KIDS. You can make fun of him a little bit)

[hopeaterart]

I was gonna ask what the other turtles’ reactions to Renet were and then I had THIS mental image:

Leo: “Uh…Mikey, who’s this?”

Mikey: “Oh, this is Renet, my… (looks at her) Are we friends?”

Renet: “Um…we just met—”

Mikey: “My friend!”

Renet: “Ooooor you could just declare it.”

April, over the comms: “Trust me, they’ve made friends in weirder ways.”

HHHHKGKDFJ NOT APRIL'S COMMENT

And they were definitely a bit spooked by Renet. Not everyday you meet an Aeon.

[hopeaterart]

Fortunately, thus far the Rat King has only used his incredible string-pulling for things like getting people through the sewers, or revealing identities. All things that would’ve happened eventually, he just has no patience ever.

Now let us hope he never looks too far ahead and sees the Ronin timeline, because that would. Suck.

Yeah, good point! I'm still working on his more villainous actions though, so those qualities might appear there too.

I think he and Ronin were allies in that timeline. You know, what's with him not being able to die.

[hopeaterart]

Other things Leo and Usagi could do at the onsen...maybe try a Japanese fish spa (Leo wanting to try one because that's another thing he read about in his mangas)?

How would that go?

One of them is probably giggling the entire time because it tickles.

[hopeaterart]

…er. Can Leo…breathe like that? I don’t think red-eared sliders have gills XD

So it turns out that he can't, but he is a turtle and can probably hold his breath for a very long time.

[hopeaterart]

Oh, yeah, that’s something I really like about the female characters’ designs, the non-mammalians don’t have mammalian assets. It’s a small touch, but it’s nice ^_^

I don't. Like putting boobs on non-humans (most of the time, Big Mama is the exception), can't really explain it.

[hopeaterart]

Hopefully, by then Raph knows enough about shopping to not wreck these stores too. (I’m like 99% sure the blacksmith incident was a combination of them not knowing how shopping works, them not knowing to be careful around several dangerous things, and, well, them just being dumb XD)

HGUJHKOFLRH they're never gonna live down Cobalt's shop.

But yeah, would make sense that they don't really know how to operate around stores. Saki usually went to steal from stores alone, and the few times he would've taken them with him, he would've also kept them in his line of sight.
