There was a small error on the cabin map for this year's @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion where Cabin 5 was under the water. My OROT boys were not expecting this in their first legal year a part of the camp.

I wonder how my other cabin mates feel about this...

Old Roots Leo from Cabin 6 is ready to offer fittings for summer kimonos (Yukata) from his personally curated collection! 

Just what design will you pick out?

@tmnt-fandom-family-reunion

Bo is prepped and ready! Your collection is gorgeous!

Since I am unable to be present for my showcase in today’s @creaturecon, here are some of my most recent sketches of my Leo, Donnie, and Mikey and a bit about my boys; Edit: OUTDATED!!!

Leo is very much a rebel- preferring to wear his mask on his neck over his face to not hide his “Natural Glow” from the world. He loves to make his own clothes and go against the flow of what his ancestors desire him to be. Despite this, he is still a trained fighter with a Katana and his skill rivals his brother- if only he were to take anything seriously. Despite not wanting to

Donnie remains the tech guy- although being more in the countryside it is difficult to find the more advanced tech the city has to offer; thereby focusing more on durability and accuracy over his usual pizzazz. He wears google glasses that can be easily changed out for magnified vision, which works well for his traditional “daikyū” (Japanese long-bow). He’s super into the study of radios and has his own radio show that he started to rant about sci-fi anime. Despite these hobbies, he hasn’t forgotten his family’s destiny even if he struggles to communicate with the spirits that are supposed to guide him.

Mikey is very much the out-going creative chaos ball that he always is. Since growing up with the spirits all his life, he has a particular innate gift to see and hear them. His best friend, Tomo, is a great-great-great x10 cousin of his and they do just about everything together. He hasn’t quite gotten the jist that people can be bad, so he doesn’t full cover his face. In his off time, pottery is his thing! He uses the chance to fire them to try to train his mystic abilities, but often ends up with nothing or an explosion.

Ralph (can find him in some of my family union posts) is the most strict. As the older brother he desires to be the strongest to help his ancestors and his brothers. His dedication to his studies and mentorship by his great-grandfather doesn’t give him much time to interact with his brothers, but they nonetheless the less respect and love him greatly. He’s skeptic of anything outside the familiar world he was born in, and wants nothing more but to defeat evil. When he has time, he likes to hang around his brothers or help them out in their training.

I will be making a post shortly to address more stuff going on with this year, au stuff, ect.- but thanks for being so patient and lovely with me in the meantime!! Expect more info on my au soon!!

What if the boys were raised in modern Japan, with the Hamato spirits to guide them?

!full AU into here!

(This series is inspired by Japanese culture. I am not Japanese myself, nor can I call myself super familiar with all the history and local customs. I try my best with online research, but there are always things that are best understood by being a part of the culture itself. Please bear with me for any inaccuracies that do occur, and don't be afraid to share any knowledge you have! At the end of the day; This is a creative project to have some fun with the ROTTMNT first- and historical/cultural accuracy second.)

Had to rush this one a bit- but glad I got it done! For the Summerween event, the boys went out with this new stranger of theirs to go trick or treating- but Mikey, wanting to be extra spooky and without a costume, decided to have his spirit friend (Tomo) posses him for his costume. Didn't work as intended and thus the following scene.

An odd, scarred figure approaches, from Cabin 4! (Don't worry, they don't bite! ...Stabbing is situational, however.) @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion

Had a fun time bending the interpretation of this ask to give a peak into the Old Roots AU.

Ralph will be fine- just a bit motion sick from unexpected portal travel mid-meditation.
