How long do you think it’ll take before the first polls come after submissions close? Not asking to rush you, in fact I encourage you to take your time. Just asking to get a general time frame! No problems if you don’t have an answer yet of if it’ll be a while, it’s really fine.
hey there!
so, submissions close tomorrow at 12:00 AM (y’all got an hour and 30 minutes lmfao). i’m going to try and post the first poll tomorrow, but it depends on how busy i am!
if i’m unable to post it tomorrow i’ll either do it on the 11th or the 12th.
quick reminder i’ve never done this before and am absolutely awful with time, so i might forget to post a future poll or mess something up.
if i do, just poke me with a message to my inbox! aidbjsjsjsj

Hii I started reading your AU and I have a bit of questions for starters what is their species? Are they the same age? If so how old are they? Which universe is this mostly based on? I am assuming the whole Donnie leo being twins is from Rise?
Hello!! I’m very happy that you’re reading my au, I have actually got the answers to their ages and species on their intro posts but I’ll say it here because they’re kind of old and a long way to scroll!
Leo is 16 and a red eared slider
Donnie is also 16 and a hawksbill sea turtle
Raph is 15 and a common snapping turtle
Mikey is 14 and an Eastern long-necked turtle
I take inspo for all iterations cause I’ve seen most of them, but the 2012 show gave the most inspo for plot and character dynamics, 2003 for storylines, and rise for character design, IDW for late-story plot points!
Yes I headcanon Donnie and Leo as twins in rise as well! I took that because I love eldest sibling Leo and wanted to explore an older sibling Donnie as well! And also love the teasing twins dynamic :))
Eldest twins, I love their dynamic and am having so much fun with them!!
Atm I’m building a bit of angry tension between the two in planning, so it’s nice to chill with them being happy siblings
(Thinking about making them both trans instead of just Leo)
Finally Chapter 6 and accompanying art!!
So happy to finally have Casey debut, I love him so much aaaaaaa!
Here are Donnie and Mikey’s human designs, drawn in February, would probs change a couple things now but overall I’m proud of them!
Originally they were all going to be in this chapter that’s why the gang are reacting to Mikey’s human form!
Did some expression studies with my boys !
Kendra from my TMNT AU, Turtles of The Hour!
She leads the tech subsection of the Purple Dragons and is a programmer. She hates having to do the dirty work but really wants to be up with the tops at the purple dragons so they use the alias Nobody to get there ;)

Newest chapter posted!!!!
Hope you enjoy!! I write all my drafts in a book with this pen and feel like I’m writing a secret journal lmao:
Guess who finally finished the full markings references?
Woohoo! So glad these are done! Mikeys was done way before the rest lmao
Also @alienneingreen helped with Leo’s shell and marking designs!
As a note, a couple things in the references haven’t happened yet as of the current fic.
1. Raph hasn’t got his tattoo (Casey dared him to and then gave it himself, it’s not a serious tattoo and he wears a patch to cover it), because they haven’t yet met Casey (he’s soon though don’t worry!!)
2. Leo does not yet have his knee scar! He gets that a little ways down the storyline :)
How Splinter got them to stand still for this? I have no idea but he did and it’s cute!!
The proportions are off but that’s ok dlgkdlgkf I love my silver paint pen so much
April O’Neil for my TMNT au
I got new pens and pencils at the time of drawing this and got very excited
Aprillllll!!!
- 18
- 5’2
- At the start of the story she’s just ending high school but throughout the course of it she’s mainly in college
- Her major is journalism with a minor in chemistry
- Camera bag, never has the time to set it up
- Bleached her hair and it came out ginger, she likes it, roots are always visible
- Good older sister to the turtles, met them when she was ~10
- Met Raph first (I’ll do a whole post on how they met eventually)
- Refuses to wear the glasses she’s been prescribed and hates contacts
- Soooo stubborn
- Didn’t have friends in high school
- Donnie and her are besties
- Donnie hates her fashion sense
- Mikey keeps stealing from her (help)
- Very protective over her younger brothers + Casey
- Best social awareness out of the group
- Weilds a bat that she got as a gift from Casey
- Considered the weird kid at school
- Always has energy
- Her father (Kirby) and mother (Alice) have met the turtles and Splinter over a family dinner. They though that they were weird but ok for April as she didn’t have any other friends. They were pretty open about being mutants but her parents didn’t seem to catch on and just thought they had some weird birthmarks or conditions. The turtles come over a lot.
- Very happy when they meet Karai, and overall very excited to meet new people
- Name anything and she knows how to do it because she’s had a job that required it before (SCUBA, sharpening knives, crane operating, etc)
- Super supportive, up for anything
