i actually googled what a kunoichi did historically and every time this question comes up in crossovers this is what goes through my head
12! Donnie: so, are you a kunoichi?
R! April: ...
R! April: *puts cup down*
R! April: did you seriously just ask me if i'm a prostitute?
alternatively
12! April: Cassandra, you're a kunoichi? I'm training to be one myself-
R! Casey: DID YOU JUST CALL ME A WHORE!?
12! April: wha- no!
R! Raph: i can't believe you just asked that! Who asks something like that!?

Remember this post from 2 months ago? I got distracted actually writing a crossover for them but i finally got around to starting the memes
Okay this is driving me nuts WHAT are rottmnt's character colors?
Obviously the turtles are red, blue, purple, orange BUTTTT April's is always slingshotting between green and yellow, and in the s2 finally it was a blue-turquoise color. The one time Splinter was associated with just one color it was gray but i never see anyone use that, and in the s2 finally he was also a turquoise color. I assumed Casey was black but ive seen people associate her with red, but im actually starting to think her color is pink bc her earrings and vacation romper are light pink. Draxum doesnt seem to have one specific color. Casey Jr. seems to be associated with teal but it just doesnt seem right to me so im wondering if he's like April and would be depicted with various colors if given more screen time. I personally think his color is either white like his mask or beige like his cape if his color is up for debate. Other characters like Big Mama (purple) have a clear color association. Heck Mikey is shown to be yellow-gold more often than actual orange.

QUESTION
What is this piece of fabric called? Im writing a scene where i have to describe the outfit but i cant figure out what its called. April's wiki calls it a "skirt" while Karai's wiki calls it a "sash"
RotTMNT Headcanons
Biology Headcanons
- They still have their original turtle eyes! We just cant see them because the art style lol
- They're (canonically?) warm blooded
- Reptiles take a lot longer to heal than mammals, which is a trait that carried over after the mutation. When they were little they would get a lot of infections (its hard wrangling 4 children under ten, Splinter had a hard time keeping every single cut clean). They own a lot of bandages (specifically fun cartoon band aids) because they have to wear them for much longer periods.
- They! Make! Turtle! Sounds! And they picked up some rat sounds from Splinter! Splinter knows what all the turtle sounds mean, but never makes any himself. The first time April heard the turtle sounds she demanded they teach her. She cant make them exactly so she'll make a similar enough sound and they'll joke that she's just got a thick accent
- Like most reptiles they will continue to grow throughout their lives! Thats why future!Leo was so big
- They've eaten plenty of questionable things growing up. And still will if bribed with enough money. One of the reasons they love Run of the Mill so much is they serve Yokai food aka food with some gross stuff (ex. that pizza with eyes the twins ate when they took April)
- Splinter has no idea how old they actually are. Neither does Draxum he didnt exactly care what day his subjects were hatched he just needed them to be juveniles. They were mutated 13 years ago so in reality they are all (mentally?) 13. Splinter needed to put someone in charge while he was gone and the reasoning was because "he's the oldest" because how do you argue with that? And then eventually the kids asked who the second oldest was and Splinter panicked and just went in height order. He randomly picked birthdays and accidentally made Leo 20 days older than Donnie
- Splinter's DNA is the reason they're such good ninjas. Somehow. I dont see how thats genetic but yep thats the reason. They pick up moves really fast, so growing up on Lou Jitsu movies and having easy access to youtube allowed them to learn moves visually. Splinter also gave them all a crash course on fighting before he ever let them start going off on their own
Growing up
- Splinter named them after colors! Growing up he had to color code everything to avoid "but its mine" disputes. It took him a while to figure that out so they actually didnt have names for that time.
- April was the one who started the twin debate. At the time (she was idk 10?) she didnt understand how two siblings born in the same year could not be twins.
- Raph and his duty of older brother is essential for the family, but the most substantial role is held by Donnie. Splinter is the father but Donnie is the true provider. Before Donnie got old enough to play around with fixing things the family lived a very different life. Donnie is the reason they have a tv, working kitchen appliances, clean water despite living in a sewer, electric lighting and heating. He's the only one who regularly brings money in and organizes things like online shipping or grocery delivery (thank you internet!). Donnie looks at something and sees something entirely out of the box, and then makes it a reality. Leo found the area that became the lair, but Donnie is the one who made those concrete tubes a functional home. And he did it all just to see if he could. Splinter didnt think he could do it, but it kept the boys entertained all day so he let them have at it. Splinter feels guilty so much has fallen on Donnie's shoulders over the years, but he is so grateful that Donnie turned out to be so smart
General
- All the brothers are really smart, just in different capacities. Donnie prefers engineering and computer science but also picks up other science subjects fast. Leo's is harder to see, it manifests more in quick thinking, puzzles, and people skills. He's also really good at math. Mikey is good at seeing patterns, in both objects and relationships. Raph is in emotional intelligence, particularly internally.
- When Cassandra said "my friends call me 'Casey'" she meant that only to Splinter, and the rest still had to earn the right to call her "Casey"
- Raph and Casey (Sr) somehow become best friends. No one expected it.
- Donnie has scars on his shell, but most of them are from minor everyday things and not true fights. Raph has the most scars due to his tendency to use himself as a shield to protect his brothers
- Leo, Donnie, and Mikey all feel like they didnt earn their spot on the team. Leo because he feels he doesnt offer much (canon), Donnie because if he cant make tech he thinks hes useless (canon), and Mikey because he's the youngest and his brothers are therefore forced to include him (headcanon)
- At one point Mikey tricked Splinter and Big Mama into going on a date
- Draxum and Donnie got stuck in a situation that forced them to bond. They both pretend nothing has changed but it has
- Not only does Leo come to Sr Hueso to complain about his life like Hueso's a bartender (canon), but so do all the brothers. Sr Hueso keeps reminding them he's not a therapist
- Their s2 finale outfits (gif up top) become everyone's mission outfits
- Medic Leo Medic Leo Medic Leo
- All the boys love the joey pouch (its basically a incubator and theyre reptiles). April finds it disgusting (its a very hot and tight space made of flaps of skin and you cant move without lots of effort)
- At one point the boys all try to get jobs. Raph tries the Hidden City but gets run out by the police again. Mikey somehow talks Sr Hueso into giving him a job. Donnie attempts to work for Big Mama but in disguise. Leo somehow ends up helping Draxum out in the high school kitchen. None of them last the week. Raph doesnt make a day, Mikey gets into a argument with a chef on day four and quits "on principle", Donnie got discovered on day 2 but out of nostalgia's sake (being her exbf's son) Big Mama let him stay on but it got uncomfortable fast so he bailed also on day 4, Leo finds out he's outlasted all his brothers and goes in on day 5 solely to steal some ice cream bars and then told Draxum he quits when he was already on his way out
- Theres a running joke that Piebald is always there but the boys keep forgetting about her. They dont know if her and dad are messing with them again or she actually was there and they just dont notice ("i mean... she can turn invisible. She could have been there")
Post-Movie
- Casey Jr lives with them! April and Casey Sr are at college and living in dorms. Plus, he's not quite ready for full emersion into a society thats never had the apocalypse
- Growing up Leo had become a father figure to Casey Jr, a person who could do no wrong. After the movie that illusion is clearly shattered, but he still looks up to Leo and the others. Leo has now taken a role closer to Big Brother (someone who can be flawed) than Parental Figure. Leo on the other hand has fully embraced being a role model for Casey Jr and has basically become Raph whenever Casey Jr is around
- Casey Sr takes her job as Casey Jr's mom very seriously. She's not the same as future!Casey Sr, obviously, but Casey Jr enjoys spending time with her anyways. If anyone asks they say they're cousins and as a inside joke Casey Jr calls her "mom"
- Casey Sr drilled proper etiquette into her son. The boys are working hard to break that ("Master Michelangelo-" "woah buddy, you can just call me 'Mikey'. 'Master Michelangelo' is way too long and too many syllables")
- Raph's got scars from being krangified (from when it ripped into his body and from when he ripped it out of his body). He's got some vision problems in his right eye now
- Donnie's also got scars from being forcefully ripped out of the control console
- Casey Jr is a avid pupil of Nap When You Can and falls asleep everywhere. Showing him a movie? Asleep. Dinner's gonna take another 15 minutes? He's already drooling on the couch. Leo's taking to long to get his gear on? Catnap on the kitchen table. As the new baby of the family everyone carries him to bed instead of waking him up
- Mikey begins spending more time over at Draxum's now, learning about mystic powers
- Leo being forced to leave Raph behind really left its mark on him. Watching Leo sacrifice himself really left its mark on everyone else. Its not surprising to wake up in middle of the night because someone came in to check on you after a nightmare
Thinking about April being warm blooded and the boys being cold blooded and wondering if they fight over who gets to cuddle with her on the couch
just think that rise!Leo and April would make a great pair for those rottmnt characters get stranded in tmnt2012 fics
If we get a season 3, what episodic shenanigans do you wanna see? Reblog this post and tell me what you think the turtles + co are getting up to
Splinter: *Pointing at the broken coffee machine* So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.
Raph: ...I did. I broke it.
Splinter: No, no you didn't. Blue?
Leo: Don't look at me, look at Donnie.
Donnie: What?! I didn't break it.
Leo: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Donnie: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Leo: Suspicious.
Donnie: No it's not!
Mikey: If it matters, probably not, but Draxum was the last one to use it...
Draxum: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Mikey: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cabinet earlier?
Draxum: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that!
Raph: Okay let's not fight. Pops, I broke it, let me pay for it.
Splinter: No! Who broke it!?
Donnie: April's been awfully quiet.
April: REALLY?!
*Everyone starts arguing*
Splinter: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good, things were getting too chummy around here.
Okay so i have read almost every 2012 x 2018 TMNT crossover on AO3 (i have a few 40k-ish fics left to read) and here are some ideas i have not seen
There are no fics with this character alone in the other universe:
- 12!Raph
- 18!Raph
- 12!April
- 18!April
- 12!Casey
- 18!Casey
- 12!Leo
- 12!Splinter
- 18!Splinter
- Draxum
Theres also no fics where its a pair or a trio thats stranded (its always either 1 person, the main 4, or the main 4 + 1 other person)
Theres not a lot of villain team ups
Draxum and Mayhem only really get mentions and dont play more active roles which is completely understandable bc the author is working with like a 12 person cast
The brunt of all these fics take place in the 2018 universe with very few taking place in 2012
Theres very few 12!Splinter and 18!turtles AND 18!Splinter and 12!turtle 1v1 interactions and theres gold in that
I just think itd be hilarious if 12!gang dropped right in front of 18!Casey because the first interaction between serious-dark-and-gritty cast and the hot mess that is Cassandra Jones is bound to be hilarious
Also think itd be funny if they just dropped into Hueso's restaurant
There also arent any fics where one of the human characters find the stranded turtle(s) and they meet first before the other turtles come into the story
I just had a thought okay so whenever we pick up a turtle at work and end up holding it like this:
we'll talk in a baby voice and call the turtle some type of sandwich ("hi hamburger" "oh arent you just a little meatball sub!") before pretending we're gonna eat them because its funny
So the thought is Splinter picking up the boys when they were little like this, and pretending he's gonna eat them just to mess with them. Theyd wiggle and squeal and call it the hamburger game. One day April randomly hands Casey Jr a baby and he starts playing the hamburger game to entertain the kid, because thats how his turtle uncles played with him until he got too big to pick up 🥹
#hinacu tmnt#rottmnt#casey jones jr#cassandra jones#casey would absolutely encourage this and she did it too#just imagine her blowing rasberries into baby casey jrs cheeks when she says she's gonna eat him while he giggles#turtle tots#rise splinter#rise leonardo#rise raphael#rise donatello#rise michelangelo#rise april
