This is for those who might need a bit of comfort. The world has been a very scary place in the last few years, and I know that there are many going through a lot right now.

Remember that you matter, you are important, and you'll get through this 🤍

TGCTOTR Ch. 2 Preview

“And even though you went through all the effort of making a literal spreadsheet, you never thought to ask them if they had already made plans?” April’s voice echoed through the sewers through a video call on Leo’s phone. “Leo, you know I really care about you but like—what the fuck?”

“I know—I know,” Leo, whined as he rolled over on his bed, keeping his phone in the air to keep himself in view. “I dunno, I just ended up getting caught up with things,” he pouted. “Please help me to not feel like a dumbass.” 

April sighed on the other end, “Well, I can’t exactly help what you are.” 

“Aragghhh,” Leo moaned, smashing his face into his pillow. “As my partner, can't you like hype me up or something?”

“Not when you’re being dumb,” she said plainly. 

Leo moaned into his pillow again. He felt stupid enough and she wasn’t making things any better, but he couldn’t exactly be mad at her when she was spitting facts in his face. 

Leo lifted his head, when he heard a small knock on the side of the wall. Splinter was standing in the doorway, a hand holding the curtain open. Leo turned back to his phone, “Gotta go, Hon. My Dad’s here.” Leo hung up the call, then shoved his phone into the pocket of his khaki shorts. “Hey, Dad,” he said, his voice sounding a little raspy. 

“Hello, my son,” Splinter said as he entered the room and sat on the bed beside Leo. He had that we need to have a talk kind of look. 

Leo wasn’t exactly in the mood for a talk but still leaned his head against his father’s shoulder and groaned. “I’m so so stupid.”

Splinter wrapped an arm around Leo’s shell, pulling him into a comforting side embrace. “You’re not stupid.” Leo knew Splinter was lying to make him feel better. That was kind of his job as a father. 

“I am stupid,” Leo mumbled, pressing his face further into Splinter’s wiry fur. “We had talked about it one night a couple months ago so I just assumed that they weren’t making plans.” 

In hindsight, one conversation at 3AM in the middle of January wasn’t exactly the same as making concrete plans. Leo had been meaning to remind them. Life had just started moving so fast. It was almost too fast. Then suddenly Spring Break was the next week and Leo panic-made a spreadsheet. 

It was stupid. 

How had he been paying so little attention to his homelife to not realize his brothers had all made other Spring Break obligations?

“Well, Leo,” Splinter said, giving the young boy’s shoulder a squeeze. “You have been a bit.” The rat paused as if trying to come up with the right thing to say. “A bit distant at home,” Splinter finally admitted. 

A little distant? 

Leo wasn’t distant. Didn’t his dad know he loved his family? That he would do anything for his father and his brothers. Being told he was distant was not something he wanted to hear.

“I’m not distant,” Leo argued, a little more defensively than he would have liked. “I come home before curfew and I attend family dinner every night.” 

Splinter let out a soft sigh, “And how many times do I have to tell you to put away that phone of yours?” Splinter’s voice grew a little more brusque as he patted the pocket with Leo’s smartphone.

Leo felt his cheeks grow a little warm. It was true that he had been on his phone a little more at dinner these days. “It’s only because it’s April texting me, Dad!” Leo pushed. “If it was Scumbug wouldn’t you want to text her back right away?” 

“No,” Splinter responded almost immediately. “Scum knows that family dinner is my time with my kids and that will always take precedence over our relationship.” 

Leo twiddled with his fingers in his lap. Being the only other one in the family, currently in a romantic relationship, Leo had been hoping Splinter would understand. Maybe it was different because he and Scumbug were so much older. 

“I wasn’t trying to ignore everybody,” Leo muttered quietly. “It’s just–April’s really important to me and I don’t wanna mess this up.” 

Splinter let out another exacerbated sigh. “I know April is important to you. We all love April and we’re all so happy for you two.” Leo gave a warm smile at that. “But you can’t brush off everyone else in your life to spend 24/7 with your girlfriend.”

Leo pulled a knee up to his chest so he could rest his cheek against it. “I’m not trying to spend 24/7 with April. I wanted to spend spring break with my brothers and I’m helping you with the dojo, aren’t I?”

“Right and I appreciate all your help. It’s certainly nice to see you again. But–” Splinter’s face dropped back to a frown. “Even if you haven’t quite realized it, you’ve been brushing off your brothers a lot.” 

Leo knew there were a few times that he had promised to spend with his brothers and changed plans at the last minute whether it was to help April with April Tonight, a sudden decision to go on a date or an influx of school stress. It was only a few times, though, but even only a few times could have been hurtful to any of his brothers. 

Guilt was beginning to settle in. He might be a good boyfriend but he was a bad brother. 

“I really did want us all to spend spring break together,” Leo muttered into his knee. It felt like he had broken a few threads of the strong rope that was he and his brothers’ bond. He needed to make it up to them. He needed to come up with a schedule for April Tonight, studying, date nights, work on the dojo, and time with his brothers. 

“Raph, Donnie, and Mikey aren’t leaving until the day after tomorrow.” Splinter said, his tone getting a bit lighter. He must have known Leo was feeling remorseful. The rat reached into his pocket, piquing Leo’s curiosity. He placed a white envelope into Leo’s hands, giving him a warm smile. “You four enjoy your one day of spring break together. I’ll finish up whatever packing the others need to get done.” 

Leo put his knee down and opened the envelope. He wasn’t sure what he had been expecting. Maybe tickets for a Mets game or a Broadway show or maybe that Area 53 Laser Tag place in Brooklyn? 

Leo’s face lit up as he pulled out the tickets, “Wow, Dad! Luna Park?” 

Luna Park was the ever iconic amusement park located on Coney Island. It was on the Boys’ bucket list of things they could finally do now as members of society. It was easy to sneak into a movie or a sports game but going to an amusement park had always been out of the question. Leo was itching to ride his first rollercoaster and eat awful calorie-filled theme park food. 

Splinter nodded with a smile, “You boys have fun tomorrow.” He pulled Leo into a tight side embrace.”And take lots and lots of pictures! I could really use a new lock screen for my phone.” 

Leo struggled to get out of his Dad’s tight hold. “We will! We will. I promise.” He paused for a moment then he muttered, “Does it have to be your lock screen though? That’s so embarrassing.” 

A sly smile spread across Splinter’s face, “Why isn’t that part of my job, hmm? To embarrass you four.” Leo was still wriggling, trying to escape Splinter’s tight grasp. 

“You’re the worst!” Leo whined, not bothering to hide the smile on his face.

Thanks for reading! Expect the full chap sometime this weekend!

🎶something bad is bout to happen to me now🎶

[artbyremi]

Some of my finished TMNT animations. I really love this generation of TMNT and I've felt very inspired by the style of it. My love for it is on par with my love for RiseTMNT if not a little bit more. I hope to do a few more turtle themed animations, but for now this is what I got! On a side note, I gotta say this version of April is definitely my favorite!

[artbyremi]

Screaming out into the void rn.

I wanna find a beta…how…how do I do that?

Someone hook me up plsss

[artbyremi]

Hello dear, how are you doing?

I have some ideas about adding few more human female characters.

A new support and/or female character to TMNT show. If we had Anna (an April version from tmnt 2003 show) who is/was a techfellow with and had a common interest with Donatello. (Because the current April has more of a 1987 tmnt resemblance and is into journalism) A tech, businesswoman who learns martial arts. And is closer with Donnie. And he feels calmer and better with her. Just isn't open about his inner self, feelings like a shy and introverted person he usually is. We don't disrupt Aprinardo, we also like The techfellow relationship Donnie had with 2003 April. Because he is a closed, introverted, shy, a little secretive creature, he wouldn't interact or just go out to simply interact with girls. Maybe if the girl shares his interests then he starts to form some liking to her and for the type of character she is. What do you think?

Ooh, I am absolutely here for more female characters. I'm not exactly itching for there to be more love interests for the other boys in canon. I think Aprilnardo is enough romance for this iteration. However, I do think Donnie would handle a romantic relationship completely differently than Leo so its an interesting idea to explore.

I think of Leo as this hopeless romantic with his heart on his sleeve but I imagine Don being a bit more closed off. He's self admittedly not so great with feelings so would he even recognize it if he developed feelings for someone? Maybe one of his brothers would need to spell it out for him haha!

Requests for 1k drabble fics or quick sketches are open just hit up my ask box or send a dm. I'll do the best I can. I just wanted to provide a bit of comfort for you today.
