New Patreon!
First of all I just wanna say, I am so flattered by the response from y’all for this little au!
This fandom is the best. ❤️💙🧡💜💛
This is not based off a fanfic! Only my own artwork and replies to asks! ✌️
———
The main story behind the this AU actually started from a simple concept of me re-watching Arcane and thinking how interesting Donnie would be as Jinx, and wanting to sketch a few ideas. This led to me wondering about the other boys and everything spiraled into splitting them up as follows: Donnie grew up with Draxum from the beginning as his personal test subject, driving him mad like Jinx. Leo and Mikey get separated from Splinter and Raph about five years after Splinter escapes with them. Leo gets kidnapped by the Foot clan where Shredder is alive and trains him as his pupil as revenge against Splinter. Mikey finds his way into to Big Mama’s loving arms until she gets bored of him and throws him into her Battle Nexus. Raph is the only one to stay and be raised by Splinter, who is more diligent in his teachings. He befriends April and they grow up together, training to become ninja. Eventually the boys find each other again.
Mikey’s rescue arc is the starting point of the story!

Also massive timeline update for anyone looking for a clearer explanation of events and don’t want to have to scavenge though all the mess of my previous replies!!!!!!
This story has plenty of humor and family fluff but it can and will get pretty dark, please take care when checking it out. TW for child abuse, blood, horror, experimentation, self harm, mental health issues, abandonment issues, mind control, dark humor, and language (mostly from Mikey and Leo lol).
———
As far as anyone looking to make something based of the Separated AU, I am totally okay with most anything as long as credit is given but I will not be chill with tcest of any kind. I also ask you include no romance (And I’m actually only saying this cause maybe possibly, eventually, there’s a chance we’ll see a few characters down the line. I have some plans 😇).
You can absolutely make anything that covers the things I’ve already mentioned in my replies, or if it’s just fam shenanigans, hanging out and dealing with recovery. I would love to see it and share it! You don’t have to bother with asking for the O.K. in that case. But I do ask that you maybe hold off on anything anyone might consider plot related or that’s not been addressed in the asks, and would be mostly speculation, cause I’ll be covering a whole host of before, and after reunion events, either in quick sketch comps or comics. If you’re still unsure you can always ask me. I would consider myself pretty easy going, so I’ll probably only say no if I think it’s something I have plans for, or if it really just doesn’t fit with the feel of the AU. I’m more likely to say yes if you have an idea of what you wanna do. Please, be specific in your ask, if you can. I don’t like telling people flat out no, so the more info I have the better!
That’s all for now! Again, I wanna thank y’all for being so awesome. I look forward to causing you all pain in the future!
Okay, I reeeeally hope this works properly...

Welcome to the Bloodbath.
Despite it’s name, the AU itself isn’t all about
blood guts and murder.
However, it does have its fair share of blood/gore cws, so proceed with caution.
The bloodbath AU revolves around the idea of Splinter having the reputation of the most deadly assassin. When he mutates, Lou Jitsu is only able to save one of the turtles, the rest somehow find their ways to different parental figures. It happens to be a strike of misfortune when these figures happen to be the very people who ruined Lou Jitsu’s life in the first place.
However, surprisingly, these ‘villains’ from Lou Jitsu’s life turn over a new leaf after unexpectedly finding themselves attached to their respective turtles. All ends up well and happy for these newfound families, having been brought joy in the form of these turtles. For Lou Jitsu/ Hamato Yoshi, it’s different.
He’s unable to let go of the past, and of his grudging hatred for those who wronged him.
However, he tries to remain sane for the sake of his adopted son, Leonardo. The life of a mercenary is no life for a child, and despite the coldness in his heart brewing from his trauma he wishes to keep Leo away from the harmful lifestyle.
This proves to be futile. After all, Leonardo was made in Lou Jitsu’s image.
They all were.
Bloodbath follows the story of all four turtles reuniting, bonding and eventually becoming one as a family. They’ll learn that family does whatever it takes to protect each other, even if that means covering up murder for your brother.
Want to know more? Check out the bloodbath ask blog!

This AU is always open for questions and suggestions! I’ll get to any asks as soon as I can. To follow the story, you’ll need to start from the beginning.

I totally get wanting to make your book annotations ~aesthetically appealing~ I also like mine to look pretty, but I have such a hard time understanding the people who annotate every single thing in the book. When I see a book with underlines, highlights, circles, sticky notes, scribbled notes in the margins, and tabs all over every single page— it makes me wonder if the person actually cares about critically analyzing the book, or if they’re just doing it for the aesthetic.
Here’s a few examples of what I mean, I don’t want to take anyone’s photos so I’m just gonna share the pinterest links for them. But here are some examples of what I would consider “over annotating”: X X X X X X X
Here’s another example of what I mean 😭
This one is too much for me too but you can tell this book is extremely loved 🥰
It sort of reminds me of my younger self, back in school, when I’d basically highlight the entire text book because… well everything seemed like it was super important and I needed to remember all of it lol. It wasn’t until I left school that I realized doing this made it really hard for me to remember anything about what I read. I wasn’t actually consciously thinking, evaluating, absorbing the information; simply highlighting it all because everything is important.
As I’ve gotten older, better read, and more confident in my own abilities to discern what is and isn’t important to retain and analyze; I’ve noticed my own annotations become more selective. Of course I still have a million thoughts, but not important enough to permanently put into the books themselves. Instead I use a few sheets of paper, write my thoughts on those, and paper clip it into the front cover of the book.
Here’s an example of what I’d consider a “normal” amount of annotating: X X X X
I also noticed that a lot of the overdoing is done most by people who prefer genre fiction over literature fiction. Which is why I’m assuming it’s mostly for the aesthetic of appearing to be more critically engaged with the content then you actually are. Idk. Or maybe they really are that deeply affected by the story and really think every single sentence, word, scene, conversation etc. is important enough to think critically about and make note of.


Maybe I'm the only one, but does anyone else think Jennika from the IDW comics and Cassandra from ROTTMNT look scarily similar? Like, I know they're two completely different characters, there's no doubt about that, but their designs just look so similar to me, which is just amplified by the fact that Jennika also has short hair.
Just some food for thought.
Edit: Forgot to mention that Jennika was also part of the foot clan👀
Casey who's a lil scrapper.
Who just uses anything and everything as a weapon.
Beats up one foot bot with another foot bot.
Tears through metal with bare hands, tieing wires in criss crosses, charging through hordes guns ablaze.
Casey who's as much of a tech guy as Donnie, who throw things together in the field and take what sticks.
How I Think Donnie And Casey Would Think Of April After Realizing Their Messed Up Relationship
I feel like Donnie would distance himself more from April, out of apology for sort of stalking her but also because she led him on for so long. Because lets be real he probably would’ve stopped being kinda creepy if April shut him down. He hangs more with Casey and has a lot more fun with him than he ever did with April. Casey started realizing April was kind of an asshole constantly leading both of them on. So he also started spending more time with Donnie. Eventually they stopped really caring for April, April started getting a bit upset they weren’t paying attention to her as much as before but they don’t care.
Yeah just what I think
Btw you mind reblogging?

did you ever think and consider you might not be human all along?
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, 2012 TURTLES!!!

(Reblogs > likes)
Hi, I hope you are doing well! Can I request a headcannon for the rottmnt peeps reacting to their witch!s/o fighting with a scythe? Thank you!
Thank you for requesting!
Neon Leon
Leo absolutely loves you already, how could he not- you’re amazing!
But when he sees you fight for the first time???
He literally stops in his tracks
*cough* he totally doesn’t end up getting punched because of that *cough*
You’re knocking down enemies with a single swipe of your scythe
He’s sitting down to watch you go
Definitely shouting encouragements
“Just so everybody knows- that’s my witch right there! Go baby go!”
Everyone already knows, Leo.
There are so many selfie’s of you two, Leo.
He doesn’t care, he’s so proud of you.
Just because he’s admiring you doesn’t mean he’s just sitting on the sidelines
No, no, no, he is helping you wherever he can
And if he doesn’t need to?? He doesn’t mind, you’re a badass and he’s insanely in love with you.
“Kick their ass baby, I got your flower!” Vibes
Definitely takes a selfie with you, making sure you’re holding scythe in full view, to commemorate the occasion
Don Tron
While a scythe isn’t a bow staff- it’s still a weapon that has similar movements
Donnie didn’t know he could fall more in love with you
But here he is, staring at you in awe and disregarding anything around him
You’re twirling your scythe with expert ease
Knocking away enemies with a practiced twist
He’s slack jawed.
Are there hearts in his eyes??? You can’t prove it
“PUT THE CAMERA DOWN, MIKEY!”
Has a fan moment where he comes up next to you, fighting together with your weapons
Freaking out internally over how cool the two of you probably look
You two are ✨baddies✨
Relationship goals
After the battle he definitely asks if he can hold your scythe
Spins it around a bit
“Yknow I could probably add a few things-“
You want a laser on your scythe? He can add it!!
Pls let him modify it a bit
He’ll faint if you say yes
You two are definitely fighting together more often in the future
Magic Mike
He lets out the loudest gasp ever
Definitely squeals over how cool you look
You already have magic powers-
Which is already crazy awesome-
But now you have a scythe too????
Can his s/o get any cooler!?
Is your #1 hype man
“GO S/O GO!!!! KNOCK THOSE BAD GUYS AWAY! WOOOO!!!”
You have to save him from getting thrown across the room
He mayyy have been a bit too focused on you instead of the battle
It’s okay though, now you’re right next to him, brandishing a deadly scythe at the dude who tried to throw him
He’s in love
He absolutely asks you if he can paint your scythe
“I can add orange to it- that way we match! Ooo- and lightning bolts!”
Gives your scythe a whole make over
It looks amazing ofc
You two definitely try the whip-o-rama
Raph bans it in the lair after your scythe nearly takes out splinters projector
In battle though?? You two send the bad guys running.
Big Red
Y’know the fan boy face he makes when he sees Ghost Bear???
That’s his face when you whip out your scythe
Literally watching you in awe while also punching the foot clan ninja he’s holding
“That’s my baby!”
He then realizes how sharp your scythe is
Cue the worry
“Maybe you should slow down??????”
You assure him you’ve got it under control
Show him a cool trick or two
And then send a group of foot ninjas flying 20 feet away
Raph feels better now
He’s so proud
His s/o is not only mesmerizing, funny, smart, and kind- but now a total scythe wielding badass?
(Even if you don’t think you’re any of that- you are to Raph and he will make sure you know it.)
And a witch to top it all off?
Step aside Ghost Bear, you’ve been dethroned
He could watch you beat up foot ninjas all day
But he won’t since he wants to make sure you’re safe
Though you don’t really need it- and he knows it.
You’re strong af
“MY S/O IS COOLER THAN YOURS!”
He will talk about you to anyone and everyone
Wipes a proud tear away
Don’t get me started on if you use your magic with your scythe
There’s your turtle, on the ground sobbing over how amazing you are
Please give him a smooch
And let him hold your scythe just once-

Hope you enjoyed!!!
Thank you so much for requesting!
Reblogs appreciated!
I don't wanna talk about it 😭










You're so pretty I miss you
