As the Turtles and Turnips server's zine is out, here's my piece from that specific thing.

which as well is my salute and show gratitude towards the DnD group in that server, I'm a newbie in this kind of stuff, but these guys, they took me in as one of them and man we have had great adventures so far and can't wait to see where the plot goes from here! I love ya guys! <3

so without further ado here's the cast of this DnD group under the cut, go show love to them, they all deserve it! <3 <3

(Ps. Don't mind the small box in the right lower corner, that's some inside things from that server, curious? Come and join our silly community 👀)

Heya, TMNTumblr! San Diego Comic Con is happening as we speak, and naturally there's quite a bit of TMNT news coming in. There have already been several figure announcements (my fellow 2003 fans, we've got some really good news on that front, although apparently we're also getting... Fortnite turtle figures?) Today, we're getting some info on the comic front, including one that will hopefully turn out to be a big treat for everyone, regardless of which iteration is your favorite.

TMNT: Battle Nexus is a five-issue limited series, with each chapter handled by a different creative team but telling a unified story. The full creative lineup includes writers Tom Waltz, Paul Allor, Sophie Campbell, Caleb Goellner, and Erik Burnham, and artists the Escorza brothers, Ben Bishop, Vitor Cafaggi, Omar Francia, and Hendry Prasetya.

As you can see, this series is slated to be a decent-sized crossover between the various TMNT iterations. We've got Mirage Shredder on both covers, Ninjara from the Archie comics, IDW Slash, and 2012 Metalhead, all of whom have been handpicked to face off against the IDW turtles--IGN's article also includes images for Issues 2 and 4, including Leonardo fighting Mirage!Shredder, as well as Donatello fighting 2012!Metalhead. Whether any other characters from the franchise's many iterations will appear is currently unknown, although if you look closely at the second cover, there are plenty of cameos to be had, so there might be hope for appearances from other continuities like 1987, 2003, or Rise.

Happy anniversary to the Turtles & Turnips community! I still can't believe it's been exactly a year since I created the original server. We've had our good times and we've had our bad times--plenty of laughs, smiles, and fun, but also struggles and incidents that we needed to resolve. Either way, the community has continued to grow and flourish despite it all, and I can't wait to see where our adventures take us next! Cheers to the Turnip Crew!

In addition, today also marks the private release of the fanzine we've put together to mark the occasion. If you decide to join the server, you can get access to the free PDF right now--otherwise, sit tight and wait until next week on August 1st when we have the public release!

Thank you so much! We hope to continue to have everyone's support!

Day three: legacy

TMNT 2003 Watch Parties

Generally held on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 7 PM EST, Watch Parties are exactly what they sound like; an evening spent watching our favorite butt-kicking ninja turtle brothers. A vote is cast every month to decide which episodes we're going to watch; currently we're sticking to the 2003 series, but we may very well end up watching some of the movies and even some of the other cartoon iterations at some point as well! Hosted by @thunderberryz

Turtle Pile Night!

Occurring three times every month on various Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Turtle Piles are very casual just-for-fun evenings where we hang out, chat, play video games, and do whatever we feel like doing. Hosted by whichever mods/coordinators happen to be available that evening; chances of an Oregon Trail run are usually about 80% - 90% depending on whether Admin Star is present and in the mood for seeing who dies of dysentery.

TMNT-themed DnD Nights

What is Turtles & Turnips?

Turtles & Turnips was founded on July 25th, 2024 by our admin @thunderberryz, AKA Star. It originally began as a community Discord server for fans of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series with a simple aim: to provide a welcoming environment for fans and enjoyers of the Y2K turtles to hang out, talk about the show, and have fun. Since it was created, the Discord server has grown tremendously and we are now looking to expand our community beyond our neck of the sewers and into the surface world above--hence, the creation of this blog!

What does the server and community offer?

Within the server, we have various VC events such as our Turtle Pile chats and monthly TMNT Watch Parties for members to participate in, as well as an ongoing DnD campaign. If you're not part of the server, though, there are still plenty of ways you can participate in the community! Through this blog, we will be providing fun turtle-themed art/writing prompts, promoting the blogs and fanworks of our community members, and plenty of other fun stuff relating to the 2003 series and TMNT as a whole. Stay tuned!

The community was created for fans of the 2003 series; I like the show, but I personally prefer 2012. Am I allowed here?

We do not discriminate based on one's preferred iteration. Everyone is allowed to participate, even if the 2003 series isn't your favorite.

Are you an Original Characters-friendly community?

Yes! We absolutely love Original Characters and would love for you to share yours!

What should I know if I plan to join the server?

Although we are a SFW server, we request that everyone who joins be at least 18 or older. We have nothing against minors--this is simply for everyone's safety and comfort. Other general rules include remembering to tag spoilers and potential triggers, and just being respectful of anyone and everyone participating in discussions.

Are there any kinds of fanworks that aren't allowed in the server or community?

Sexually explicit NSFW is strictly prohibited. We also don't allow for tcest or any other incestuous ships (what might be considered pseudo-incest IE something like 2012 Leorai is something of a gray area; see our server rulebook for details), as well as minor/adult ships. We also have a ban on AI-generated images.

Any other information I should be aware of for the server?

We do request that members of the server avoid discussing real-world politics (seriously, those can get messy extremely fast.) In addition, we have a "Three Strikes" rule regarding instances of rule breaking and poor behavior in the server; this is to ensure that problems do not persist for too long while still giving members a chance to clean up their act before they're kicked/banned.

What should I do if I created something for the community and want it promoted by the blog?

Just ping us using our URL @turtles-and-turnips-blog! We'll get around to reblogging it as quickly as possible!.

Sound good? If you're interested in joining our Discord server, the invite link is right here. Otherwise, we'll be seeing you around soon!

Hello, everyone! I am pleased to announce that the Turtles & Turnips discord server now has its own Tumblr blog! Right now things are pretty empty around here, but there will soon be plenty of posts providing information about the server, announcements of events, promotions of our members work, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff so that even those who aren't a part of the server can participate in our online community. We'll be seeing you soon!
