Rise Of The Tmnt - Blog Posts
“Leo, can you hear us?”
Hey guys! Welcome to my first little comic strip! It started out with just Leo by himself in a corner and just one picture, but a mishap gave me inspiration to turn it into a comic, lol. And besides, who doesn’t want more Rise Leo angst?? (Rhetorical question)
Please enjoy! I hope you like it :)
(BTW I might come out with a longer comic version of this with more slides, but I wanted to release the short version first. Idk, I like the simplicity of this one but have ideas for more Kraang torment. Let me know what you think!)
EDIT: longer version is out! Go check it out if you like a slightly darker tone than this hehe (next post, titled “You wretched. Little. PEST!”)
Disaster Twins 💜💙
Hey all! Back with some more ROTTMNT fanart featuring my favorite duo! I’ve been wanting to draw these two for SO LONG now and was happy I finally got something out 😆
I absolutely love the headcanons of these two being twins (I have a twin and our dynamic is very similar to these two… probably I’m more like Leo and my sis is more like Donnie) and having mirrored eye color in fanart. What do you guys think?
Hope you enjoy :)
Rise Donatello
Heyyy! I tried my hand this morning at drawing Rise Donnie, and here’s the result! I was uncertain of the color scheme, but with my sister’s help I think I got it at least pretty close :) Let me know what you guys think!
Also a timelapse because I find them really satisfying lol
Please enjoy!
Rise Mikey 🧡🧡
Didn’t intend to post twice in a day, but got excited with this one! I gotta say, I really love Rise Mikey (if you couldn’t already tell, lol) and can relate to him a lot. So please enjoy more Mikey fanart :)
Now I’m obsessed with drawing his cuteness :)
Please enjoy yet another Mikey fanart! 🧡🧡🧡
Wow, thanks for all the likes on my last post!! The Rise community is so supportive! Love y’all <3
But also I got inspired and so did a digital remake of my college doodles, so please enjoy the finished product and a little time-lapse (idk I find them satisfying).
Again adorable Mikey turned out to be my favorite :) His character was so amazing in rottmnt
Random ROTTMNT doodles during school that I actually liked, lol
Definitely my favorite doodle of Rise Mikey I’ve done :)
…HOW DO YOU KNOW…HOW FO YOU KNOW
sorry. your boyfriend was too neurodivergent and he hyperfixated on teenage mutant ninja turtles. yeah he renamed himself after a turtle. yeah there’s no known cure. sorry again lmao
THERE IS NO THINKING…
just…angst…
late at night i was listening to this one song and it made me think,
what if raphael lost his brothers at a maybe somewhat young age and it turns him insane, like in Man Vs. Sewer he was scared to be alone and starts like, cooking the sandos twins or…something,
like he goes full on insane because he thought he was all alone. so up the stakes, he loses his brothers in some kind of accident and its like jinx from arcane, makes plushies of them and pretends like they’re actually there and slowly drives himself insane, especially when he considers himself their leader/protecter.
my mind runs
EXCUSE YOU…
yes i think its leo
yes its because im just as gay as he is.
its been so long since i’ve heard of randy cunnigham god
It’s probably just a coincidence but the lines on Randy’s mask kind of remind me of Leo’s red marks

you guys are killing me here
@dizzycrow
holy HELL that is a lot but yeah i’ve seen people make au’s where the boys are separated and raised in different household/places and many other things, mess with them or hit one nerve and they could be the destruction they were meant to be. ESPECIALLY donnie (because remember how when his brothers got smarter and he called sheldon, sheldon was full on ready to attack/eliminate apparently and and the snap of his fingers he could literally, if he wanted to, destroy his brothers.)
with mikey we literally got dr. delicate touch and dr. feelings where he literally helps the boys with their emotions, not only that but with dr. delicate touch he goes from nice to full on “YOU GOT TO GO SLOPPY” because thats his things. ‘Dr. Delicate touch’ is just full on being straightforward about it and giving it to them in probably a harsh way. its just the complete somewhat opposite of what its supposed to be but at the same time thats probably the most ‘delicate’ way he gives it. wih
with leo the Episode where theyre encountered with big mama, he literally runs away into the elevator and basically leaves them, before going to try and save them. AND when everyone gets captured by Piebald (splinters fish) leo tried to make little rock version of his brothers or whatnot
and raph is just raph
either way, they were at least raised to be silly funny guys or whatnot, but just one hit of the nerve or literally anything to mess with these guys, you are DDOOONE for
(this scene gave me chills)
Me: can you guess who my favorite rottmnt is
Friend: “Leo”
Me: “incorrect it is donnie”
Friend: “but you told me it was leo”
Me: “…no..”
Friend: “but”
Me:
SOOO TRUE HE’S SO EVIL…BUT A NICE KIND OF EVIL I GUESS 😭
uh
…HONESTLY, I THINK YOURE RIGHT…
does that mean leo would take the smart role? personally i think donatello would be offended by that (revert back to the ‘your gross misuse of the word genius’ in shadow of evil) but honestly…we’ll make an exception and give him both
still, they’re all beautiful in their own silly funny way
You know what I know. I’m making an au again.
“Hey. Don.”
“what.”
“I bet I can get more votes than you~”
“.. aight bet Nardo.”
“how much? How much are you willing to give NEON LEON”
“I’ll give you fifty.”
“*scoff* please- I’ll bet ya a hundred.”
*donnie wins* *leo loses a hundred dollars*
What about future Donnie and his girlfriend hanging out- totally not being spied by his bros?
POV April got a new app on her phone where you can take pictures with silly filters
part 2
bonus
Think it would be funny if Donnie was next to start growing hair after Mikey does-
and Leo would make fun of him
but is deep down jealous-
Bonus:
I totally forgot about these two goobers
I’ll be drawing them more often
New Chick In Town
Masterlist
A 2012Leo X Fem reader.... violence, Gun, Weapons, fighting, stalking (kinda) I did a pole for this on my tumbler to the PEOPLE HAVE ANSWERED
Y/N sat peacefully on the rooftop, her sketchbook spread open on her lap and her pencil running gentle strokes across the page creating the sky of New York. "Hmm... He looks perfect!" She hummed staring down at her drawing. She was new to New York... sent by her Master to find a man named Shredder. And indeed she did... however, that experience didn't go too well, his rash and violent nature left her disturbed so she left. Now that she was left alone within the city, she's been using her skills for good, stopping crime, helping old ladies cross the street, killing robots, and spying on these mutant turtles... Okay, maybe spying wasn't exactly for good but rather for her entertainment. " Now tomorrow, I can transfer this onto my Canvas!" She giggled, making a move to stand, closing her book, and placing her pencil behind her ear... However, the sudden thump of someone landing caught her attention. With haste, she moved, allowing distance between her and the unknown sound. She stood, ready for a fight, but gasped at the sight before her. "HUH It's You" She whispered, staring at the Green Turtle that stood proudly in front of her.
"I uh... You.... You weren't supposed to see me... nor be up here" His eyes widened as she stood there, clade in a large T-shirt with what appeared to be a straw hat, PJ pants, and fluffy socks with little turtles on them, 'Cute' He thought to himself, suddenly thanking the lord for whatever instinct told him to go on patrol alone tonight. With a quick shake of his head, he cleared such thoughts, reanalyzing his situation. "I uh... What are you doing up here" He asked, not exactly knowing how to react to her calm state.
Y/N blushed softly, at the fact she had been caught and now interrogated. "W-well you see I saw these, uh Vigilantly Heros....and draw them" She was now looking down at the roof, suddenly finding a rock very interesting. "Names Y/N"
Leo hummed, "Y-you're not scared of me?" He asked, cautious of her movements having recognized her fighting stance. 'A Kunoichi?' He questioned himself, debating whether or not he wanted to find out due to his poor interactions with past ninjas. He watched as she gently shook her head, smiling at his surprised face. "I uh... May I?" He asked gesturing to the book she had clenched in her left hand.
"Uh? O-Oh sure I guess" She shyly stood straight. Taking slow steps towards the turtle. Once she deemed it close enough she gently opened her book, revealing multiple sketches of Cherry blossom trees, Yokai, and The New York Sky. "Wow amazing" He suddenly snatched the book from her hands, flipping through the pages.
"H_HEY NO STOP" She squealed, about to leap at him to stop his constant page turning but it was already too late... He had reached some of her most recent ones... Ones of him and his brothers. Leo stared at the portrait of himself, sitting on the edge of a building... immaculate details from marks on his shell to the engraving on his swords...
"Whoa," He whispered, only continuing to flip through... He finally stopped on one... he remembers this day... it was when he got lost in thought on a water tower.... after his event with Karai. To think, he never even noticed her presence.... seen her, heard her... How terrifying. To think if she wanted to.... she could have killed him.
"I... I saw you guys a few months ago... and Yeah... been uhh coming up here in hopes of meeting you" She sighed, giving him somewhat of her reasoning but not the entirety of it. It's true... she's been following him. She's been following them.. just trying to gauge whether or not they had anything to do with Shredder's actions.
'Meet Us' He couldn't help the boost to the ego that provided... to think such a pretty girl wanted to meet him... and his brothers. "So... you're a.. you're like a fan? or something" He questioned, watching as her face darkened in color as she shifted her look to the busy streets down below.
"I guess... I saw you and thought you guys were like super cool!" She glanced back at him quickly, surprised by his bright blue eyes that kept their stare dead on her face... "I... I was considered a weird kid... transferred to Japan my first year of middle school in hopes of finding a place I belong" She crossed her legs and quickly dropped, elegantly but not without a crack from her hip, into a crisscross seat. "While there.... I ran into my Master and began training to be a ninja... then he sent me back here" She smiled, enjoying the memory of her time spent with her master. His training methods were harsh and borderline torturous but they created the monster of a Ninja she was today. "I'm still considered weird... High school isn't friendly... but I guess I got used to never having friends so yeah" she sighed, keeping her eyes focused on the busy streets below. "Yeah..."
Leo's eyes were focused on her, the way she gazed down at the streets.... he couldn't help the soft blush that grazed his green cheeks. She was a ninja... trained in Japan, and was artistic.... and Pretty talked about a whole package. "If it makes you feel any better... I don't think you're weird" His voice was soft and calm... conveying his sincerity of the moment.
She only scoffed at his sad attempt at comforting... or what she saw as sad... "You caught me drawing you... that's weird"
He couldn't help but chuckle, a light smile grazing his lips. "I'm a mutant turtle... weird kinda comes with the territory"
"Wanna sit with me? I got snacks?" She crossed her legs and dropped into a seating position. With a soft shrug, he took his seat next to her, folding his legs under him before glancing at her display of snacks "Hmm What kind?" He looked over the multi-colored fruits, chips, and cheese... some he did not recognize due to most of his time eating pizza or fighting crime.
"I have... Chips, Cherries, Watermelon... some gapes and ah Cheddar cheese slices!" She held back the giggle as she glanced at him.... watching as his mouth practically watered at the sight.
"Some of the Watermelon please!" He sounded like a little boy begging for his other to buy him something from the store.
"Of course!" She smiled, gently grabbing a piece, and watched as he practically buzzed in his seat 'Must have a sweet tooth' she giggled softly to herself. She smiled as he savored the sweet, juicy fruit, gulping as he swallowed it. "So? Where is your team at?" She asked softly, not wanting to pry, she glanced at him, slowly slipping a cherry into her mouth. She watched as he placed another piece into his mouth, slightly muffling his words.
"they're elsewhere, Raph is probably punching a bag right now, Mikey is playing video games, and Donnie's probably cooped up in his lab" He glanced at her, seeing her rather confused expression from the sudden new names. "Ah, those are my brothers! Or uh teammates as you said" She only hummed, nodding her head slightly.
"So just you?" She watched as he nodded, confirming.
"Yeah, gave them the night off, but a leader never sleeps" From his knelled position he placed his hands on his hips sticking a heroic pose. She couldn't help but giggle at his goofiness.
'How cute' She smiled, but her eyes lit up as an idea sparked. "If.. If you want, you could always come get me! That way you're not too lonely" She watched with baited breaths as a soft pink hue shaded his face. He couldn't comprehend what she'd just said... that was until a boyish grin spread across his face.
"Y-yeah! That sounds amazing please!" His response was hasty, not helping his ego at all. 'Damn it, Leo... Stay cool' With a gentle run of his hand over the top of his head, he composed himself. However, that didn't last long as he watched her reach down the front of her blouse. "I uh.. H-hey" He shut up rather quickly after watcher he removed what appeared to be a... 'lego block?'
"This was my master's! As a gift he gave it to me after I became a Kunoich," She smiled, gently taking and holding the block between her lips and blowing into it. With amazement, Leo watched as this small thing began to run and form around the bottom half of her face. "He used to call me the little Oni, so the mask was fitting" Leo suddenly felt a wave of admiration wash over him, he remembered how Master Splinter would talk about the Japanese culture. How those who would ward off evil would wear such masks. With a gentle finger, he ran his thumb down the curve of the tooth.
"Oni... Meaning a Demon no? You wore this a... as a Kunoichi?"
"Still Do! Not as often because I don't fight much but hey! If I join ya it could be fun" She smiled, suddenly sucking her air, and the mask began to slowly break down again. "I mainly use throwing stars and kuni... I'm a heavy hand-to-hand combat fighter" She shifted, moving to stand. "I fight using the Dim Mak, also known as the touch of death" She smiled, watching as Leo shifted his head in confusion. "It's traditionally a Chinese fighting style" She swiftly explained, watching as he slowly nodded his head in understanding.
"Sounds increasingly cooler the more you explain" He gently leaned against the ledge of the building. With a content smile, he watched the sky, and for the first time in a while he could see the stars through the polluted air of New York... 'Man she's beautiful' the thought took him by surprise, causing him so clear his throat in an attempt to push the thoughts away. "So... What's your name?" She asked, reaching down to pluck a cherry from the container. "I told you mine but... never got yous"
"O-oh right" He mentally slapped his forehead, how could he have forgotten such an important thing? "Leonardo, but my friends call me Leo"
"Leo..Le...O! Hehe cute I like it" He blushed watching as she continued to pronounce his names in various voices, splitting up the syllables here and there. He couldn't help the chuckle that left his throat, his hearty laugh seemed to be contagious because she followed with a cackle.
"HAHAH" She heaved, moving to lean against the edge with him, shaking her head at the spontaneous laughter. 'This feels right...' she slowly calmed herself, catching her stare lingering on the turtle far more meaningful than it should be. She could feel the head coating her face, a dark hue as silence fell for a moment, allowing the two to just stare at one other.
'Yeah this is right' Each shows their smile at their thoughts. However, this lovely little moment was cut fast by the sound of glass shattering from a few allies over. "Trouble" Both quick to action spurred towards the sound. With a huff from her, her Oni mask was right back over the bottom portion of her face, and her hair was tucked into her hood. 'So fast' Leo couldn't help but awe at how quick she was to react to the sound, already prepared for a fight. With quick and agile movement they stood on the rooftop overlooking the Allie from which the noise had come.
"Hm," Leo focused seeing 4 men busting their way into a shop window... He squinted seeing the large logo on the back of their leather jackets he could recognize it anywhere.
"Purple Dragons?" Y/N read off the back, a confused tone riddling her voice.
"Yeah.. not much of a fight, just a local gang" Leo explained, pulling his swords.
"Fun nonetheless... Should I kill the Street Lights?" She smirked, raising her hand, a Shuriken placed between each of her fingers. "Got the street memorized?" She whispered.
"Uh.. Why exactly are you killing the lig" He was cut off, watching as she threw them all, striking each light perfectly sending the men into complete darkness. With a jaw dropped, Leo decided to simply watch her from the rooftop... more accurately he was too love-struck to move. She was so fast in the dark, hiding as if she lived within its shadows. It took a moment to find her after she had disappeared so fast. He finally spotted her sitting on the fire escape that sat right above the window. He watched as Y/N waited... watched as she looked around before hearing a predator-like growl.
"You think it's fun messing with other people life's?" Her voice sounded deeper, as if it was being altered by the mask. Like an Oni had truly taken control. He watched as the men frantically looked around for the owner of such a voice. Each ready for a fight, the leader finally decides to speak up.
"Who.. Who's there?? We're the Purple Dragons! Show your face coward!" He screamed, thrusting his knife randomly through the air. With a quick chuck, a Kuni crashed into a trashcan before it was deflected and grazed the man's hand, causing him to drop the knife.
'Pinpoint persuasion' Leo gucked at her ability... He watched as she dropped down directly in front of the group. The men screamed, and the teeth of the mask emitted a dark red glow, it was barely enough to illuminate the mask but it made it all the more menacing. With even louder shrills the men recognized that symbol anywhere. The five stages of grief could be seen running across their faces. Fearful for their own lives... The younger man of the group was looking around, searching for an escape... However, his thoughts were cut short when a Kuni pinned his sleeve to the brick wall behind him."I suggest you stop thinking before it gets you killed" She huffed, watching as 3/4 men dropped to their knees, cowardly like always.
"N-No We won't go down that easily" The largest stood, pulling a pistol from his hip, aiming it at her. Before he could even think of pulling the trigger, he was already dropped, unconscious on the floor. Leo had seen it all, as if in slow motion. The second he had reached for the gun, she had already moved, hitting pressure points behind his ear and the middle of his forehead.
"You fear those Turtles... the friendly Yokai... Now you shall fear the Oni that they fear" With pleaded eyes the men begged... the turtles... they knew exactly who she was referring to.
"PLEASE, WE BEG!! WE WON'T MESS WITH ANY MORE YOKAI" The leader reached, tugging at his knocked friend... "Just please... Leave us Oni"
"If I ever see you again... your head will be my next meal" Y/N smirked as the men fumbled and scurried, picking up the big man and making a run for it. She suddenly felt a heated body standing a couple of feet from her. "Damn... for a big ass Turtle you're pretty quiet" She giggled, turning to meet Leo's electric blue eyes.
"S-sorry got caught up watching the show" He blushed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. He was still awed at how easily she had handled them... not even breaking a sweat.
"Not bad right? Partner?" She asked, lifting her fist to pound it with his. He couldn't help the wide smile from forming, meeting her fist halfway... "Partners" He whispered.
The night blew by fast, with a quick exchange of numbers and a promise to meet the next, Leo left Y/N apartment giddy and lively.
(TIME SKIPP ... Yes it's long... felt bad for leaving y'all hanging for two weeks!!!)
It was the first time in years that Leo found sleep troubling... He tried meditating, counting sheep... but nothing was helping his running mind. As a last-ditch effort, he found his way into the Dojo. 'Damn Pretty Face... And that Gorgeous laugh' He huffed, sending shadow punch after shadow punch trying to rid his mind of her... "You like her Hamato admit it" He whispered to himself. He didn't want to... to think someone as perfect as her, strong, funny, kind-hearted, and funny... never would she ever think about him in such a way. "DAMIT LEONARDO SHES TO GOOD FOR YOU" He screamed, unconsciously waking his master. "You're the leader... supposed to be level headed not love-struck.... even if she is the most perfect girl"
"Leonardo?" Master Splinter exited his room, a concerned look on his face, "My son.. what is the matter?... Who is too good for you? and this perfect girl?"
'no no no no no' He was mentally panicking.... His face burned with embarrassment... "N-No one!"
"Leonardo" his voice was stern... "The last time you were in such a state was when you were battling your feelings for Karai" Splinter watched as Leo's eyes cast downward... His face flushed, knowing he could not get out of this.
"I... I found someone" He spoke in a whispered tone...
"A Woman?" Splinter confirmed stroking his beard.
"H-hai..." He slowly trailed his eyes up to meet his. "she's a human... but she's not like Karai... no she is so much better... Prettier, better fighter... more heroic" He found himself drowning in her memories once again. "B-But she's way out of my league" Now that it was already out there he decided to tell him everything... their meeting, their picnic, the show of strength she had... "Dad..." That was Splinter's indicator that he needed his father, not his teacher at this moment... "I really like her... but I'm a mutant Ninja turtle... she's a human... a Kunoich at that!"
"My son... Never doubt yourself... when it comes to love, it knows no bounds" He sighed softly. "It sees no difference in appearance and sees no distance... go after her... nothing to lose if you try" His words were soft, sincere, and wise.
"b-but I just met her... what if" He mumbled off.
"Love is powerful... While it might be too early to declare your love... seeing if she is interested wouldn't hurt" He set a gentle hand on Leo's shoulder. "Don't let time waste your potential experiences.... go out and take them"
"OKAY! I'M GOING NOW YEHA" He hugged his dad, thanking him before beelineing out the dojo.
"MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOME BY DAWN!!!" Splinter called a soft smile gracing his lips.
(AHHH EXAMS, ESSAYS, DUEL CREDIT, SCHOOL... BIRTHDAYS!!!! Ah don't we all just love High school??? Nobody? good to know yall read my sarcasm.

Donnie's not used to having long mask tales, and Leo uses it for pranks. Raph just wants one normal day in this house.
Please enjoy this little silly comic while I'm working on the main story.
Let me know!!! I have these 2 ideas… but not sure which one to go with (mind set on the 2012 turtles)
