#tmnt lair

It’s also only going to show on-screen for 5 seconds of a unserious animation, so the amount of time I spent on this was fucking atrocious

Alright, last ask for the night!

-

Were my turtles mutated intentionally? Yes!! They definitely were created on purpose! I answered with more detail here.

-

Who’s the medic? Mostly Splinter! But also sorta Raph? But they also all have at least basic medical knowledge??? Idk Explained in previous ask.

Alright, what’s the lair like?

Well, here’s a really rough sketch. It’s pretty basic. Essentially, Splinter found an empty open space in an area of sewers that’s no longer in use.

Over time, he would add to it with old appliances found in the trash/dump/abandoned homes and apartments. His experience as a maintenance worker really came in handy, but he wasn’t as well versed in technology or construction, so it took a lot of trying and failing before the lair actually looked and functioned like a home.

The space was originally all open. Splinter built walls to create separate bedrooms and a functioning kitchen.

The old drainage pool in the corner became a step-down lounge area, where there’s an old couch and some hand-made bag chairs, as well as a tv and probably some old videogame system too.

Between the lounge area and the kitchen is an open space that the family uses for training, since they don’t have a separate dojo.

The bathroom is just outside of the main lair, at the south entrance/exit (I forgot to sketch it). It has a functioning toilet and an old bathtub, as well as some basic medical supplies.

There’s no medbay, as Splinter didn’t raise his sons with the intention of them fighting and potentially getting seriously injured. (He may have to build one on in the future though…)

Raph’s bedroom used to be a storage closet that they (mostly Donnie) used to stash anything they’d find on their outings. But when Raph joined the family (around age 9), they converted it to a bedroom. He has to walk through Donnie’s room to get to his own, but it works.

The lair overall is a mishmash of scavenged parts and old appliances. It’s not fancy by any means, but it is functional. For the most part.

Ehhh it’s a work in progress. But yeah, this is the basic idea for the lair. I’ll eventually have to do some actual designs, but I’ll worry about that when I get to it.
