I like what they’re doing in Tottmnt with establishing a weak spot for each of the bros. Leo is a bad on his feet (probably joking about how clumsy he is). Raph has a (somewhat) delicate plastron(turtle ribs are usually part of the plastron but him being a mutant could have them be a little more separated idk). I’m not sure about Mikey but I’m pretty sure Donnie’s gonna have problems with his back and shell(cause he keeps on getting FULL BODY THROUGH A WINDOW(and not just any window a subway train vandalism proof window)).
I did Venus and Jennika before her and feel just a tad guilty(check out Vees story here and Jenn’s story here). So here it is. Again these are just ideas that I thought would be cool. This also connects to my fanfic Difference Between The Appearance which is still midway through the process(Check that out here). I’m also going to give some quick background knowledge on the Foot and the Hamatos.
Background on Hamatos and Foot clans aka Shredders origin story: The Foot clan was founded by the Hamatos sworn protectors from ancient Japan made and trained to keep outraging demons and yokai from destroying all of humanity. Over centuries after the great battles of the past they had resolved to a peace waiting for when the day came to rise up and protect the world once again. At least that’s what it used to be. The last generation’s heirs to the clan’s power, Hamato Yoshi and his adopted little brother Oroku Saki, were the beginning of the great change. When their mother died, Yoshi gave up his power to Saki knowing that he himself was not ready for such responsibilities (the responsibilities and power that Saki had been dreaming of since the day he had joined the family). For the first 10 years things were fine. Saki lead the clan with Yoshi as his highest advisor and the man he trusted more than anyone else. He even fell in love and married a woman named Tang Shen. She was deeply devoted yet also independent and strong helping any all she could. She even joined the clan and trained to be able to fight by her love’s side. This love was the next crack in the Hamato legacy. Dispute between gangs in New York were brought to the clans attention. At the time(2013/2014) Saki and Shen had a child, Karai. The couple(and mainly Yoshi) decided to move the Hamato clan to New York since it had the most gang disputes that came in contact with the biggest hidden yokai city in the world: The Hidden City. On one of Tang Shens patrols a gang of unruly young mafia men decided that kidnapping her and Yoshi would probably give some great advantages in the criminal underworld attacked. Yoshi was there when she was shot and killed before what little crew was left after the attack. Saki however did not accept this. He got angry and blamed his brother for not telling the truth of what happened. He believed that there was no way that his Shen could have fallen to such sloppy work. He had heard the stories of mutants coming in and out of New Yorks news reports. Saki assumed that they were the ones that killed his Sakura flower. His rage only continued to fume when his own brother couldn’t be trusted and his 5 year old daughter stepped in front of his traitorous brother to protect him. Saki lashed out killing Yoshi but accidentally giving Karai fatal wounds. He went mad and rushed his daughter to the very illegal yet very effective treatment of TCRI. Using threats of death and money, Saki forced them to fix his daughter and unknowingly turn her into the first semi successful super soldier. Saki was never the same after that night the fun loving and impulsive man he was was twisted into a ruthless assassin bent on manipulating his story into a story of a hero avenging his family and killing every mutant until they became a thing of the cruel past. He became the Shredder. He spent the rest of his life turning the calm protectors of the Hamato Clan into the merciless fierce warriors of the Foot Clan. Saki convinced the clan, his daughter, and even himself that mutants were the blame for the deaths of Yoshi and Shen. Instead of secretive recruits for the gifted he authorized raids in which homes were set aflame and children were kidnapped or dragged from off the streets. The world seemed lost losing its only protectors who could fight such a threat. But legend says that every 10 generations a gift child in the Hamato bloodline would be given the ability to create spiritual chi stronger than any being known to both yokai and human kind. That chi was Yoshis gift passed from Tang Shen into the afterlife. They say that this gifted child can help guide one student through corruption when the world was twisted into a mess. That world was the world Karai and the Turtles lived in.
Karai: Though she doesn’t remember much Karai does share a few memories with her mother. Sadly she also shares memories of her uncle and what happened that night. The night she was turned into a half snake mutant girl living in the anti mutant beliefs of her father. Thankfully one of the scientists saw that the 5 year old girls father was clearly not going to be as merciful as last time if he found out his child was one of the things he hated with bloodlust. The half yokai scientist instructed Karai and supplied her with an elixir to keep the snake side effects of the super soldier serum at bay and giving off the illusion that the only successful thing it did was save her from death. After recovering from the attack, Karais father told her mutants had attacked the Foot and that her mother and her uncle died in the process. Enraged by the loss of her mother and uncle and afraid of what new changes had happened to her father that made him so scary now, she let him try to mold her into a fierce easily controlled cunning warrior. Though she believed in what she was raised in to some extent the feeling that what her father was thinking was off combined with her memory of what happened that night still panged at the back of her head until she did find out the whole truth. When she was 7 Jennika was taken into the Foot and Karai begged for her to become her new adopted sister. Though they both got the same treatment from the Shredders rage, Karai tried to get that anger to be shied away from her sister. Karai thought since she was older and had dealt with the Shredder her whole life only she, rebels, and mutants deserved to have to deal with his angry fits. Eventually the Foot finally got a good lead on mutants when they literally walked onto to the cities doorsteps without hesitation or consequence. After Superfly’s attack Karai was assigned to spy on the turtles and gather information so the Foot could successfully take them out without objection from the public. She went Eastman High and though she tried not to became friends with April she couldn’t resist the noisy girls likeliness. Karai actually became so close she almost got in trouble and tried to warn her friend not to dig deep into the Foot Clan and expose them knowing April would be abducted and assassinated. But her freind was stubborn. So stubborn in fact that Karai was coaxed into meeting the turtles. When she did Karai was shocked by how young and innocent they sounded, looked, and acted. Almost like her and Jennika. Later on when she was sent to attack and had the chance to kill both Donnie and Raph in one blow she softened. Their fear and Donnies weak attempt to protect a wounded Raph seemed too eerily similar to how she felt the night of her attack. After that she started to turn to the turtles side and coaxed Jennika into doing the same. But she was also running out of elixir because her supplier had died 2 years before. Eventually it caught up to her and she transformed into her full unruly snake soldier form. Thankfully the turtles and their sister, Venus, caught her and found a way to revert her to a midway between mutant and human. As Venus described it she was beautiful and perfect. Karai felt perfect and whole this way not too much exposed and nothing being bottled up. She felt free and decided to leave the foot. Moments after said revelation, Jennika called her and said she found the Shredders true plans. Midway through the call the Shredder took Jenn captive and forced Karai to meet at a rendezvous point to trade herself for Jennika’s life. Luckily the two survived now both mutants and allies alongside the turtles. Leo and April became her closest friends and Venus became her girlfriend. Karai was free to be her independent strong and even a little bit of a goof and delinquent self for the red of her life
Sooooooooooooo . . . . . . .
That’s my storyline for Karai in Tottmnt. Comment or just ask if you have a character you want me to do next in Tottmnt or if I should stop and these are bad. Cowabunga turtle fans 🐢🐍
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
a.k.a Tottmnt Litas Bow+shit doodles
And they said giving a child a weapon was bad. Look how happy she is.
*in the background*
(@portableleo actually made an amazing drawing of this but with their 2012 au Denouement im just too lazy to actually draw my own)
Casey Twins<Lita May<<Venus de Milo<<<Karai<<<< Joana Jones>Hidden City Group>> Sheena>>>
The Foot Sisters are complete!
(Yes maybe I did model Jenn’s humans design somewhat on the agent in Helluva Boss)
On her og storyline that I wrote, I kinda made her more dark and serious because I wanted MM to get more dark and serious. And yes while she is dark I decided to change her into a chaotic little bean who does not take the Foot seriously.(until she almost dies)
In her pre-arc, she’s a lot more expressive with her passions than the Foot would normally allow.
I don’t wanna write crappy dysfunctional paragraphs so imma just list off some headcannons;
I made her the tallest turtle because female turtles are naturally bigger than males(same thing applies for Venus being taller than Donnie). That’s why she kinda awkwardly shoots up after mutating.
Dyes her and Karais hair(one of the few things she misses when she’s a turtle)
Plays electric guitar(and normal guitar but only for Lita and maybe the other turtles)
Not completely comfortable without clothes as a turtle(via the pants and only wearing the mask(thinks the belt looks dorky))
As you can see above I’m gonna bring back Sheena❤️🎸(You’ll have to wait for me to write their lore there)
You know the phrase forgive and forget. Jenn would rather choose to just forget. It’s her very unhealthy coping mechanism. It’s why she dyes her hair. It’s also the reason why she is hesitant to uphold a rank in the New Foot even though her sister runs it.
Might add others at some point but that’s kinda it for now. The next part of my fanfic The Difference Between the Appearance will be featuring her so stay tuned for that(or don’t).
he and his push Pom twin developed the technique over many years
My god this is the cutest fucker I have ever seen what the hell. What is his secret......
so i redesigned 2012 Karai during her mutation mode and may have gone a little overboard abusing my abilities on picrew but honestly
It fits her way better
although I love what the show did for her with the snake mutant makeover I feel like the species wasn’t really the best choice
I mean I do love a cool fantasy and fiction based monster thingie but the show could have done something with more meaning. That’s why wanted to base my version off the anaconda.
Anacondas are amount the strongest and biggest of all snakes and possibly all reptiles. It fits Karais character so much better because of their tendency to be independent and a dominant and feared predator in the environments that they live in. In this species they also tend to have the females to be more dominant because of their larger and stronger bodies giving them more chances of success during combat and hunting(remind you of a certain someone). I also just didn’t like how they changed her eye color from amber to green. The yellowish color just looks soooo much better on her
People need to watch this because it is cinematic GOLD!! You did an amazing job on this @truths33k3r4 and I love to see how you portray your story. I hope you are very proud of yourself for making this and that you will continue to do this if it makes you happy and if we get to see more of this story in this way.
If you’re a fellow SIW and @truths33k3r4 fan this is definitely the video for you.
Cowabunga turtle fanz!
SIW AUDIO BOOK Chapter 1 - Sneak Peak
This is a test. :) For a little while now, I have been getting comments to turn my tmnt story, " The Strength in Weakness “ into an audio book. And I prayed about it for a good amount of time, as well if God wanted me to try. So eventually, I decided to give it a shot. :) This is the result! If this video reaches 1,000 views by May 10th, then I’ll continue making my story into an animated audio book. :)

YAAAAAAASSS I LOVE THIS!!!!
Okay so like— I had this dream (yeah it’s Aprilnardo… whatcha gonna do about it???)
(it’s like present time- 2024)
⚠️(I should put a warning for like— making out descriptions?? Not intense but- I also drew it cuz yeah)⚠️
Leo’s been having some issues lately and visited April one rainy night— he’s had been troubling sleep, the whole being a leader of the group is putting pressure on him, and he’s been having nightmares about a silhouetted figure with a hyper-tech oni-mask…
And Leo just breaks-down crying, laying his head on April.
April comforts him that he’s safe here and it’s going to be OK, she wiped tears pouring down from his cheeks, as they just look into eachother… silence filled the room and between them.
They both leaned forward to eachother, April’s warm lips pressed against Leo’s cold- Leo haven’t felt this feeling before— warmth, I mean, he always felt good around people he liked…
But this warmth, was different than anything, it felt so… amazing
They both started to makeout with eachother- classic new teen couple style… Their arms wrapped around each other—
POV: is this really happening? Is this some sort of fantasy dream I’m in?
Leo started to feel genuine warmth in his face, everything felt good… like, good
April at this point is contemplating whether they’re not friends anymore at this point… they’ve starting to get closer— they even cuddled up together in bed one point, but April hasn’t been stopping this the whole time they’ve been doing it…
And then it just cuts to the morning, them sleeping together, Leo’s arms wrapped around April’s waist. Her dreadlocks escaping from her bonnet— covering some of her face.
Leo took off his jacket and pretty much just put it over him like a blanket (even though he’s sharing one with April..)
And uh… yah… I’m obsessed… W for me…
two more for the collection(cept I don’t know which one is trans on the team b)
I've found a new trope I love, and it's "identical twins except one of them is trans so they're not identical anymore". It's glorious.
