One of my special interests is turtles and a friend of mine asked why it is that a turtle's gender is determined by the weather. I, surprisingly, didn't know the answer and went into a research dive to find out. Ended up writing an essay about it and since I find this absolutely fascinating I've decided to share it with y'all. Hopefully someone else finds it cool too.

ROTTMNT Γ M! Depressed Reader
!STORY IS UNFINISHED AND WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED! You and your friends go to an anime / comic / sci-fi convention, you meet the turtles, depression ensues. Kind of a vent fic, and pretty angsty. This will touch on some sensitive topics, there'll be trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter. The main character will be a man and pronouns used will be he/him, also trans friendly with no direct descriptions of the mc's body. All of the turtles will be love interests and I'll try to write separate endings for all of them + some additional endings. So, I started writing this while I was hyperfixating on rottmnt and going through a rough time. Now I'm invested and pretty proud of what I wrote so I decided to upload it, can't promise regular uploads but I'll try to update as much as I can!Complete
