Should I Just Name The Au 'turtles Forever' - Blog Posts

concept art for a tmnt au im cooking up. The whole thing was just inspired by the phrase "turtles forever" and i thought...hey what if they were forever...

find more information below cut

okay so I actually only have like concepts of a concept, but...

-they don't start off as turtles, they just start off as immortal, non-human beings. They're not really gods, but close enough

-basically they mess with this other immortal being---some evil time turtle...thing

-it curses them to be forever reincarnated, unable to have a happy ending together. They don't have their past lives' memories when they are first born again (although they occasionally remember them later in life) with the exception of Leonardo who always remembers (that's why he's crying).

-Idrk what will happen in each specific universe, but I do know that the original Da Vinci, Rapahel, Donatello, and Michelangelo are just the brothers reincarnated. Thought that was important to note.

-also they aren't always turtles. Or mutant turtles. Sometimes they're human, sometimes they are regular turtles, and then obviously sometimes they are how they appear in the shows. Also all of the shows are just different reincarnations of them. So all of the shows are canon in my au (I'll work out the logistics of this later)

anyway that's all lol. never done a full on au with lore ans stuff before, all the aus i've written on ao3---so like 2---don't have a ton of lore or anything. But I think it'd be cool to have one big, really detailed au with art and writing. Let me know what you guys think...or any ideas you have for different angsty reincarnations.
