🎶 for all your Raph muses tbe music meme give me all the songs bich you can delete the post but that ain’t gonna stop meeeeeeeeeeed

| Send me "🎶🎶🎶" and I will share with you 1-3 music tracks that I associate my muse(s) with!

*Considering I have playlists for them all I just had to pick three songs XD Keep in mind a lot of these choices are solely based on events in rp on the blog at least stuff that has enough development for me to comment on in terms of songs. Or goes into my protryal of Raphael over all.

We didn't start the fire

Is this love that i'm feeling

Beat It

*When it comes to all my 80's playlists I try so hard to keep the songs in that time frame but I have broken that over time XD but mainly it is still a good 80's mix. Anyway when picking his songs I tried to stick to his time frame. Can't say i'll be as dedicated on the others pft. Anyway time for my pop tart boy.

We didn't start the fire: I picked because it seems like a song reference he would make when it comes to how often him and his brothers wind up roped into situations he doesn't fully believe are their problem to deal with. But end up being their problem anyway. Like don't get him wrong when he feels it is their issue Raph's attitude is different like in the first season when it came to Splinter.

Is this love that im feeling: yes course this gonna be about Casey. Raphael just thought he had no real interest in romance why would he after all? He is a mutant turtle? maybe if there was a female mutant turtle? But even then he had doubts. The only time he kind of liked a girl was when he was hit with a love potion after all. He didn't seem to like girls so he wondered if he liked well men instead? based off his own comments he thought were just jokes. Then in came Casey Jones. Who he fell for pretty quick sure at first he found them nuts but he was attacking his brothers. And it didn't stop him from fighting Casey again later. But didn't keep Raph once they had a more friendship going on to wonder what was there. Turns out it was love its why he changed his tune to like Casey clearly. I also just like it for when he and Casey date. Sure loving someone is enough to date them but dating is how you see if you continue to love them. And that what Raph figured out. Also I like to think this is a song Raph would sign towards Casey uwu

Beat it: I find it funny and clear proof others don't watch the 87's series. Cause they have this weird outlook of Raph not lighting ti fight or being a fighter. And I agree he isn't looking to pick a fight but he is fucking petty and will start a fight. Raph is a very "I didn't start it but i'll finish" it type of fighter in this series. So a good song about throwing down to fight seems fitting for Raph's rude behavior.

*Normally I put 03/07 together but I feel some songs will fit better for some themes in 07 story plots.

1. Hercules

2. Brother

3. I'll be good

+4. Bonus song My best friends Ex

Hercules: Generally I love this song because it really works to dip into Raph's need to protect. It's not just in a physical way either Raph despite calling himself a lone wolf is someone who really just looks out and cares for others. He comes off selfish and uncaring but then you see how he is quick to put others before himself. Down plays anything going on with him but will put more worry into it for others. He loves to have space but is quick to try and reach out to someone else if he feels they need it. His stubborn ass is what makes him so loyal he has so much faith in others. He really will shield others from harm when they can't themself.

Brother: I love this song for TMNT in generally because a brotherhood is just such a strong theming for the series. BUT I'm directing this to his brothers. Raph's heart is one of four, his brothers are his whole world. Anything happens to one of them? and best look out he will die if it meat protecting his brother or getting revenge for them. Raph can seem harsh and distract but in the moments that matter most? he is the one by his brothers sides first. When need be he will step up into leader role so to make sure the rest are safe if Leo isn't around like when Leo left to see the Ancient one and they got attacked by Karai. One thing you don't get between is Raph and his brothers even when Raph distances himself them he knows they have him and he knows they know he has them. Why they count on him and will call out for him when needed especially Donnie.

I'll be good: It's not secret that Raph is his own worst critic. It's why I feel Splinter never got on Raph's case as much as he dose Leo during Leo's emo arc. Splinter will step in if Raph's going to far and offer advice but he knows no amount of scolding is anywhere as bad or deep hitting as what. It's hard for Raph to understand where his anger comes from. He wants to protect his family and it scares him to see how big the world is out there if they stayed in a much smaller area easier to maintain it be easier to protect them. Raphael just feels like he can't do right he fears being the one to hurt his brothers why he has nightmares of him being the shredder. He regrets any fight he has with Leo, the times he went to far with Mikey hell he got regrets with Donnie too. He wants to be good he wants to be more positive like Mikey can be but he just can't he feels something wrong he feels if he could cut into himself deep enough maybe just maybe he can find what it is and take it out.

My best friends ex: I couldn't give up the last three for this song but didn't wanna leave it out XD. Raph and Von's friendship in 03 verse is just so damn good to me I love it I love them being besties so much. It's funny cause I feel you wouldn't see these two being so close. But I think Von just not caring to fall for the image Raph sets up allowed her to get close to Raph. Maybe cause of her background who knows. Just in my mind if Von ever dated anyone outside Donnie they knew/or knew about Raph that friend thats hates them funnier if Raph don't know them he hates them uwu.

Danger to myself

Wannabe

Killing me

Danger to myself: For sure where Raph was at just after Leo had taken off. There was just a lot going on. Raphael hated that they were told they couldn't basically go on with their lives with Leo gone. Raph lost a good source of his distractions because of that and struggled with things going on with himself. Slowly he started to make things worse shut out his family, and pushing away those who he needed most. Donnie someone who always makes him feel a bit more grounded. But Raph lost his footing. Casey someone who always made him feel loved and needed. But Raph didn't love himself or feel he was needed. Night Watcher was so easy for him to hide anyway into. If he was the Night Watcher he didn't need to be anything more.

wannabe: Why this song? how do a spice girl song fit Raph. I feel like each of the adults have had moments where they are watch both Summer and Ariel on their own. Raph's soft for the two on their own as is. When they are together? He might as well be a floor mat for them. Just image them in a classic moment of the girls finding a way to rope Raph into thier antic and feel one is singing along to songs well messing around. Raph can act like he dont wanna be part of thier sleep over antics but I feel Casey walked in and found Raph singing along to the Spice girls with his daughters. XD basically it more a song that just makes me think of Raph in a parental route.

Killing me: May seem a bit misleading on how Im gonna be using this song but this is more meant for when Casey is going though his mid life crisis. You think Summer felt her dad just left? Oh trust Raphael felt the same way. But where Summer can speak on that and express how she feels Raphael will not. No different from how with his own family Raph seeing Casey going through what he was he in part knew that Casey needed to be allowed to. Raph had to go through his own stupid shit for a time. He saw Leo have to as well and even Donnie. But it wasn't easy, Raph had to keep things in home well in order. Had to make sure Summer was taken care of. Seeing Casey not in the right state. In truth I feel Raph reached out to April A LOT during this time. If he could swing it with disguises he of course takes Summer to practice himself. Raph didn't really have a support when he fell apart (he pushed them away that why) so he wanna try and give Casey the room to fall apart too and show Raph is there to help pull him back together like Casey has for him. But even Raph dose feel Casey's absence and it's killing him uwu

Lost

Sharks

Fine

Lost: Some of my favorite scenes dealing with Raph are when they see Splinter get thrown down into the sewers. And in his fit of rage Mikey hugs him to snap him out of it. And again during the space arc when one the angry planet Raph once more snaps and Leo hugs him. What snapped him out of it? Love uwu. Raphael is someone seen as uncaring he is quick to say he don't like ti deal with certain emotions. He is meant to be big bad tough Raphael. Yet, he is full of pain and a feeling of being just lost. Where he should be aware he is loved and needed sometimes he needs that assurance because Raph sees the worst in himself. Raph is hurting deep down and it come out in his anger and he wishes he knew better how to handle it to even understand why it's there so sometimes a bit of affection paid his way helps. Raph isn't bad a kid hes just very unheard. It shows that he can be heard by some and it should make Raph look weak that he dose need that at times. But to him dose. He just lost in the storm always in his mind. Sometimes he just needs to grab on to someone a moment.

Sharks: It's funny how often you can mirror Raph with some of the villains. You got of course his often foil in 2012 Fish face, the more obvious Slash before he was redeemed even being shown like a worse case for what Raph could become. And of course, there is the fact he and Leo are like a new generation of Yoshi and Saki. Often I feel why Splinter is how he can when it comes to Raph's anger and complaints on Raph likes to think he is better because hes good so he should be better he wouldn't sink to their levels. But he has he can even Slash alone showed what would happen if Raph let his anger consume him too much the beast he could become if he didn't have his brothers around? Raph would become so much worse. If he didn't have family he loves and looks out for than what would he have to keep him grounded?

Fine: Raph is the stereotypical character who talks shit about love and romance. Act like he so above his brothers who more open to showing they would like to fall in love. Raph very much that person who just can't understand someone loving him because of his own self hate. And he sort of projects that on the him and his brothers Who would love them. And yet? He wants it he wants to be stupid over someone, he and try and deny how he felt for hockey playing idiots all he wants but he don't want that he wants to also turn and say he's an idiot and he feels those things too. Cause deep down Raph is just a sappy romantic. He wanna just embrace those things too given the chance. So why not go ahead and show he might have intrest in his best friend just a bit uwu

Can't take me down

chills

I like it heavey

Can't take me Down: This is just a feel good song for Raph in general he is very much got this I can't be stopped mind set (boy do I look forward to him getting humbled or shown other wise that he isn't strong enough >:3) This is very much a how I carry myself kind of song. Despite how clearly everyone around him seems to look at him and see him needing some help professional level even or any time someone remarks on him going a bit too far? Raph will either defend it with a look of 'what do you mean?" or blow it off. He goes in loud with out a second thought. You can't take him down and much as they all hoped he thinks that's what will get people to love him uwu

Chills: I just like this for our rasey for mm with your take on MM casey uwu Since we always tend to give Casey the theming of ice. But it also just fits because Raph never been in love before not really something he thought of only to make fun of Leo over. The. Comes Casey someone who gives him litteralt chills uwu

l like it heavey: someone thar is a mutant? Yeah, this start of the song dots alone as is. But Raph himself? Someone who dose have a bit a different taste in well everything from his more violent tendencies to his love for wrestling even to point if hiw he wants to present considering he uses protine powders to help muscle growth. Even his sens of style? Some like it pretty, but Raph likes it heavey. Slightly to play into the sing above this jsut plays into why Raph himself don't think he goes to far or maybe even need help (he dose u_u) he just himself and wants someone who gets that who he is.

1. Hot n' cold

2. Chateu

3. The phoenix

Hot n' Cold: I'm sorry but not sorry hot n' cold os just Raoh generally over all. He can really just shift through his moods swings fast enough to give someone whiplash. Raoh has his moments where he can be sweet and caring and those moments should really speak the loudest to others. But other times? He's a oranry bitch. And he's pretty up front about it.

Chateu: since Raphs known casey the longest in this verse, i feel these two have had a lot of time to be all fuck this place mind set over time. Between Raphs family drama and Casey own. Raph has had Casey in his corner from day one. This is just a very nice song for Casey and Raph in general I feel ;3; they need each other, they make eachnothers hearts bear. Course, there's a reason it took them time to get together, but they been able to give up on some things thiwr hangs up and such cause they got the other ;3;

The phoenix: in truth this song I played on repeat often well playing the game it self xD It just fits!!! Anyway in universe I would say it's because Raphael is pretty goal set in the game. He feel long as they stay together as brothers they will get Splinter back because well he needs to or he will get hopless himself. So he talks uo loving the fights and such and enjoys when they get to certien maps in the game. Honestly the most break in this is when they are looking for Casey he gose from. But he picks himself back up after every loss or miss chance to get thier Dad back. Raphael isn't someone to get knocked down too easily like his fiery rage this turtle will rise back up like. Phoenix

[MM Rasey] "Dude - your brother is SO cringey."

| muse interaction

in truth the only down side to in school suspension, well no, that was full of down sides actually as Raphael had slowly started to list them out in his mind. Being stuck in one room all day sucked, having the lady in the office need to track and monitor him anytime he needed to leave the room to so much as go to the bathroom. But worse they weren't even allowed to leave for lunch! Raphael really didn't like that room after away it was too small and cramp. Actually kind of reminded him of being stuck in the sewers and why getting grounded from going to the surface would upset him so much? Whatever he severed his time. And his second one because he had gotten into another fight after but now?

"Freedom!" was all Raphael could claim the second the tip of his shoe touched the titled floor of the school commons. Going in loud as he was known hardly even noticed as other students filled on in along his own group. Some seemed to be getting used to mutants in school others were a bit used to the loud mouth turtle himself and maybe missed when he wasn't hear to interrupt this semi peace.

The mix chatter of all the rest of the students did little to drown out Raphael when he made his statement as loudly as he could. Raph couldn't help how excited he was to finally be back in the commons and not that cramp tiny little room. The cafeteria always had a mixture of odors in the air from the different food smells combining into one such as french fries, hamburgers, sandwiches, sous, pizza and whatever else was being prepared for the day. There was always the slight hint of cleaners as well coming off the tables. But to the loudest turtle of the group? It smelt simply like-

"freedom!" He once again stated as he followed along his brothers, and the rest of the crowd currently got on to their lunch break as the last batch was mulling about working their way back for thier next classes.

Taking his seat once they had grab thier meal choices for the day. Raphael just loving how much noise the commons simply had. The only thing it didn't have was-

"Casey!" Raph next outburst drew far more attetion this time around somehow getting louder as the turtle was aiming to get Casey's attention the second eyes caught the smallest glimpse of black and blue hair cover in the usual red beanie they wore. Hand held up to wave and get Casey's attention in case near yelling their name wasn't enough. To get the job done.

smiling brighter as a faint hint of red hit his face seeing Casey make his way over to join thier table. Raph wasn't even sure who was sitting beside him before he promptly pushed them over to make the space available for Casey to take over now instead. "Okay guys I mean it be cool alright?" Is all he warns before sitting down eagerly waiting Casey's arrival to thier table. We'll this worked out his brothers and April could meet Casey themselves now. He figures as introductions followed so Casey could put some names to faces they had heard a few times themself. Things were going well ideal chit chat of his brothers offering a hello or some short lived topics to ask Casey about.

Here and there Raph would sneak glances towards them and smile when Casey's Grey blue eyes met his gaze. Slightly hating how every time it happened his stomach wanted to flip and his food no longer held the same appeal.

In a good way he couldn't explain but wasn't complaining over.

At least till Leo sudden took all thoer attention suddenly during lunch into a meeting. Raph groaned a little, it made sense to talk about stuff he needed all four of themnin once place for considering they didn't have the same classes and whatever but really? Raphael thought as Leo went on to go on about thing Splinter asked them todo after school was let out.

"This could have been a text" Raphael mumbled under his breath poking at his food with his fork as Leo attempted to hype them up for thier errands. Admitly wasn't as fun as before since they didn't have to sneak around to get stuff they needed so Leo attempt could be appreciated it if he weren't so fucking-

"Dude - your brother is SO cringey."

Raphael couldn't help but snort as he tried his best not to laugh hand covering his beak as Casey spoke the same thought he was having just then and there. No one else seemed to notice so Raph, moved to lean in a bit closer to Casey. Shoulder bumping to theirs.

"Pft yeah I know, 'his is him bein' chill actually." Raphael tosses in as he laughs softly. Ignore how he can feel warmth touching his face from how close he was to Casey. Able to soak on the warmth thar so easily came off them. As he mocked his older brothers expression, silently mouthing along to Leo. Far more exaggerated than Leo was in fact doing. Leaveing him and Casey to laugh to themselves.

Fuck those flips in his stomach were back listening to Casey laugh all he can recall I'd Casey saying he liked when Raphael laughed. Slowly claiming down he let his eyes soft as he just sort of stared at Casey. He really liked Casey's laugh too. Too bad he couldn't fully enjoy the moment when feeling Mikey he think pat him for attetion. "What?" Teaing his gaze from Casey to find Leo staring full unimpressed. Raphael forgot somehow they were all here as well. He simply shrugged his shoulders though.

"What? It's not my fault you're boring Leo." He happily just teases their way

[ducknotinarow]

[03/7 Rasey uwu]

"Pft, me, scared of yer?" Casey asks with a laugh, "Nah, never, yer more like a giant Teddy bear if anythin' Raph."

| Muse interaction

The lights in the parking lot clearly were old from how the bulbs buzzed and the lights would dim here and there. Outside the small convince store. Casey's bike was the only vehicle parked in the nearly empty lot outside some beat up car that belonged to the lone soul working in the store. As Raph was resting on bumper block, slightly look up at Casey who was rest back against his own bike well they were laughing. From where he sat he could easily just take in how Casey laughed. How it stiffled at first till it needed to be let out and free into the air. How it got the corners of his own beak to tug up when he listened to it, how it took over the quite darkness in the mostly empty lot.

Raphael's favorites sounds were all linked to one man it seemed anymore. Before he would say the sound of his shellcycle was his favorite. But now? The sounds of sports equipment knocking around in a duffel bag. wood and metal from the various selection rang from hockey sticks. Casey's main go to it always seemed liked. To even metal golf clubs pretty much seemed like anything Casey could shove into the bag went along for the night. The other sound Raphael loved? was Casey's laugh, deep and hearty. Really came our from his chest and there was just something about the fact that Raph was the cause of that smile that Casey couldn't seem to stop spreading over his mouth had the turtles heart fluttering in his chest. That he was the one that cause it? He already loved their laugh but being the one to cause it? He can't explain the fuzzy little feeling that seemed to take him over with that fact.

Casey just couldn't seem to get enough of how badly Raphael freaked out the guy they were chasing down. The dragons were quite for the night so it was almost a bust. Till Raphael mentioned some activity on the east side, just on the other side of town. It wasn't anything major just some street thugs throwing their weight around. But Casey seemed down so a quick bike ride over and they found a good fight to break up. Not in the usual area for Raph and his brothers to show though so these guys had no idea how to handle a giant mutant like Raphael. Which he had to admit as he turned away to laugh himself was pretty funny.

"Least 'em dragons thought I was a freak in a costume first time runnin' into any of 'em." Raphael mentions " These yahoos? pfft must've watch to many monster flicks." He chuckles a little looking down to his drink, they were just celebrating a great night out after all. "eh can' 'em though." He shurgs he shoulders a little when he speaks up. "I wouldn' wanna go against someone 'hat look 'ike me nither." Raph brags a little. "I mean only nut case 'hat has was you" He teases as always smiling up at his boyfriend. " 'hat's how I knew ya were fuckin' outta ya skull there. What guy sees a five foot mutant turtle and decides 'i can 'ake 'em' clearly only someone who got his head knocked 'round to much." Raphael taunts a little

"Pft, me, scared of yer?"

Casey asked with the hint of laugh still in his tone, Raphael simply pulls a face at that. Part of him unsure if he should be insulted or not over the way they said it just now. "Yea?" as if it was obvious he should be. Now he was in fact a bit insulted, apparently that Casey didn't find the look of Raphael enough to run from. " 'm intimidating jack ass."

"Nah, never, yer more like a giant Teddy bear if anythin' Raph."

Raph let his beak hang open over the remark, him a teddy bear? He's ready to circle back on Casey being nuts because only Casey would think him that way. But maybe that is also why his words weren't coming out at the moment not even the flare of a temper was enough to get him to speak up just then and there. Slightly looking away as a blush dared to hit his face. It should be an insult right? he should take it as an insult and fire back that Casey was soft or something himself? Expect Casey wasn't messing around well not fully. Raphael could at least pick that up.

"Teddy bear?" he finally asks before he moves to stand up, "What ya think I ain't no threat now?" he's clearly not going for a fight the way he can't help but smile up at Casey.

Raphael may never really say it and sure at times he gets a kick out people looking at him and thinking he's just something to fear. But Casey didn't see Raphael that way. Hell Casey saw Raphael in a much different light. Moving to slightly try and corner Casey back against his bike of Casey barely reacted to the approach short how his attention shifted down to Raphael. There always this look in them that Raphael never wants to tell Casey he gives. out of fear he may never look at him the same if Raphael pointed it out to him. He has to shut his brain up a moment so he only keeps in mind Casey wasn't exactly fully in a place where he was comfortable with all of this. Not the dating Raphael part, dating a guy bit. If he was any guy it be the same. Somehow that thought doesn't reassure as much as he thought it might.

"I took it easy on ya bud" he continues it's clear hes only playing at picking a fight here. "wouldn' say ya all to safe around me still Case." just not in the sense he making it sound, which Casey even should be able to see from how Raphael has him. Raphael stays still as he lets Casey move to tug down his mask.

And his heart freezes. He's take it it off for Casey before and its not even the first time Casey taken it off but, he doesn't know why it's just something so personal that he's allowed Casey to to do. Slightly hesitant to look up once the cloth around his eyes is left to hang around his neck. It's easier with his mask on though, Casey can't tell everything he's thinking as easy when he can't see the looks Raphael's giving him. Slightly he lifts his view it's just them alone in this lot. Even as Casey teases him for be clearly 'so scary' in that breathy laugh of theirs. It's fine right? is all he can think letting himself clearly look to Casey's lips. He wants to kiss them so bad and he can't explain why.

Smirking slightly as he lifts himself up on the ends of his toes. Weight shifting forward against Casey's bike. Slightly biting at Casey's bottom lip. As he slightly chuckles at it himself.

"told ya not safe," he playfully warns them before moving to grab hold of their face head tilting to the side before he pulled Casey down a little into himself, letting his beak and their mouths meet. Letting himself just melt away with the buzz that kissing Casey always gave him. Slowly to release their face so his hands can rest back on their bike as he savors every last second they stated connected before moving back on his feet. "I could still kick ya ass though." He slightly covers with as he looks away from Casey.

[ducknotinarow]

Raph: My hands are cold

Casey, taking hold of Raph's hands: better?

Raph staring at their hands:

Raph: My mouth is cold too

[ducknotinarow]

Casey: “How the hell can something so simple, be so difficult?!”

Raph: “Actually, I’m pretty sure you’re just an idiot.”

[ducknotinarow]

Casey: Image being like gay or something like that

Raph: Casey we've been sleeping together for like eight months?

Casey: Okay but that's not like gay gay ya know?

Raph:

Raph: Casey you're literally a bottom

MM Raphael - All Symbol Headcanons please uwu

| Send me a symbol and I will write a headcanon about…  For multimuse blogs, please specify! *disclaimer I aint a spoiler free blog I have stated before like with Helluva Boss, this is your warning now there are spoilers in this post.*

I love this little gremlin boy so much. look at his smile pure gremlin uwu from the full trailer we got I knew I would be satisfied with this take on Raph. I can be kind of picky but that's just cause Raph was a character I always loved. I do like that Raph's anger issue was his only character trait least not like all he is about but that they did focus on the fact Raph dose just kind of like to fight in general. I like that he is sort of aware of it though and seems to try and handle it but clearly doesn't know so he turns it towards his more violent tendencies. And dose seem to try and not take it out on people around him. He has anger in him and he's trying which is why I love that he seems to turn towards sports at the end of the movie cause its not often a part of Raphael shows often give much attention to that he loves sports too. I look forward to more from this franchise with my boy ;3; I really just like that you can see for all of the boy they know who they wanna be but havent quite learned who they are.

𝓕 : My muse’s handwriting. (Is it good, bad, difficult to decipher, do they prefer writing by hand or with the help of some form of machine, e.t.c.) 

"I'm not the best with uh spellin, " One of the more stylized writing styles clearly. The boy haven't had proper education for years so I feel they learned a lot from what they saw and Raph liked the subway graffiti they would see when making their way back home and learned to make it his writing style. Raph tries to control his emotions carefully emphasis on tries here of course. Draws attention to himself as seen in a lot of fights he tends not to care much for the whole be stealthy thing when it comes to a fight. Even crowing to get said attention before jumping in. Raph has a more out going personality shown from his large lettering. The gaping in his writing shows Raph enjoys his freedom.

Tends to take being grounded from the surface not well at all and pitting the blame toward Leo. Being able to explore the surface is the only real freedom he had and he dose carry this thought into going to school. Of course the heavy pen pressure come from tension and anger he has. That he doesn't full know the best way to deal with yet. I think having Beep bop and Rock steady however will help a bit but having a friend who gets it will do him even more wonders since they are closer in age. Despite being outgoing the slant of his writing shows Raph is a bit reserved which we see when it comes to April he doesn't talk as much as the other do or did when around her compared to how he is around his brothers even around the other mutants he was a tad more reserved here and there. Or outside of fights. Im pretty positive they will likely be like Splinterson considering Splinter isn't Yoshi but I would be to surprised if they didn't find a way to make use of Hamato for this verse but i'm not changing my tag XD so still under Hamato even if he won't be using that name unless stated he will be Splinterson in MM.

✈ : My muse and  traveling. (If they do it frequently and why, if they never left their home town, e.t.c.)

"Hmm I've been in the sewers, the subway, roof tops shipping yards-" Currently Raphael has only ever been around New York, they have gone to some pretty well know locations like Central Park or Madison Square garden, or stadiums but have yet to ever be out of New York. Of course, he likes the idea of maybe seeing more now that he's able to go to the surface. But hard to say if everyone is still willing to change their tune about Mutants. Even if they have been shown as Hero's this doesn't fully mean everyone and everywhere is ready to accept them or willing.

✿ : My muse and nature. (If they are an ‘outdoorsy type’, like the sound of bird’s singing, if they have never set foot in a forest, e.t.c.) 

"Ehhh I dunno 'bout that. 'ike i'll go I guess if I gotta?"

Despite living in hiding this guy is a pretty much a city guy at heart he is so used to the loud sound of a buzzing and bustling city. But with his wild energy he might love going out to the woods.

☼ : My muse’s first memory. (Where it was, who was with them, how this memory makes them feel, e.t.c.) 

"uh dunno I kind remember stuff as a kid like havin' nightmares and going to pops." I feel Raphael dose vaguely remember the one time Splinter took him and his brothers up to the surface.They seemed young but were able to start their training not long after. Raph sometimes had nightmares about the man that chased after them and would be the one to wake everyone else up and go to Splinter to sleep with. Dad is safe after all ;3;

☙ : My muse’s favourite food. (Bonus: A memory, be it good or bad, associated with said food.)

"Dose bulk up count as a food?"

Course it's pizza, but the bulk up in the crate during their shopping time was funny to me. Of course Raph always remembers the first time Splinter got his hands on a pizza for them. It was some of the first human food they ever tried and the most beautiful thing Raph has ever seen at that time in his life.

♬ : My muse and music. (What type of music they like listening to and in what context, what music they would never listen to, e.t.c.)

"Drake! he's the g.o.a.t!" Raphael likes Rap and R&B the most when it comes to music he dose enjoy Rock and heavy metal as well of course. But his favorite artis is Drake and if he could meet a celebrity he would want it to be Drake. he watched Degrassi solely because he found out Drake acted on that show. He might have a slight crush on the dude but he hasn't really figured that out himself. He also likes DJ Khaled, and Lil Wayne but course hes got his usual go to. He dose like a bit of pop as well here and there. He also will never admit it but some of the stuff Donnie listens to is kind of okay as he would phase it.

↺ : My muse and the past. (Do they live in the past and struggle to let go of past grievances, or move on more easily, is there anything in their past they want to forget, e.t.c.) 

"Eh I sort of do maybe?"

Raphael in a way dose in that he's very aware of the situation he was once in, forever made to hide away from a word he just wants to be part of. Surrounded by the same four faces all his life. It sort of feeds into the little freedom he has and more he'll get. Raphael just wants to be able to meet more people experience things he never got to before all because he never really got to live before, not like how humans do at least. Going to school just being on the top of that list simply because it's such a normal mundane thing but something he thought he never have. That it never even occurred to him that humans themself sometimes aren't all given those same freedoms he thinks they are lucky to have.

☾ : My muse and sleep. (How much they sleep, how much they wish to sleep, if there is something that never fails to put them to sleep, e.t.c.) 

"Eh not 'ike i got much a bed time? oh guess I do now?" Raph's used to staying up late seeing as it was the only time him and his brothers were able to out and about that Splinter could agree on with at least. So Raphael is far more used to being active at night over during the day going to take a lot is adjusting to the change least during the school week. Raphael likes to be up late still often going to bed late in night school night or not. Getting to sleep can be a bit of struggle so he tries to tire himself out in all the ways they tell you not to like aimlessly using the internet thinking he'll pass out. Sometimes he dose but ends up leaving his phone playing videos because of it. So it's always low on battery.

✧ : My muse and art. (If they have an artistic side or not and why, favourite artist if they have one, e.t.c.) 

"I like the stuff I seen on the streets." I pick his writing style for a reason Raphs a fan of street art, he has watched humans in the cover of the night work on their own street art. Murals, tags and such that they come across the city always tends to catch his eye he thinks it looks cool. When he was learning to write he really wanted to sort of have a style like what he saw. Raph tends to doodle out his name and even brothers names with designs things he thinks fits each of them. Course later hell add another name with some hockey sticks and such. It's far more like graffiti he dose and sticker art. He came across some name tag stickers and will put his stuff on that to slap around the city when him and his brothers would run around for their errands in the past. Usually slapped on to the back of signs, street lights, even some bollards, or billboards. It's mostly either his name "raph" or styled stuff showing Sai.

❃ : My muse and social media. (If the muse is/would be on social media and why/why not, their general opinion on it, e.t.c.) 

"Eh I sort use it?"

Raphael lurked in the past mostly making use of video platforms. He has a bad habit of falling asleep when watching tiktok and sending the videos to his brothers accounts. Once they get into school he will use twitter and snapchat, so to be in contact with some of the friends he's made. but he mostly sticks to texting apps like discord or whatsapp. Raphael just isn't much for social media but it was kind of the only way he could be part of the human world, so he did use it to just watch stuff. Mostly used it to watch dumb videos he found funny or keep track of news of stuff he was interested in. Like following Music Artis he likes.

✉  : My muse and others. (If they social and outgoing or more introverted, and why. If they prefer communicating with others face to face or in written form, e.t.c.). 

"I finally got some human friends so 'hats cool." As I mentioned before Raphael is pretty out going in general, he's not shy or even close to being an intervert himself. But he can be a tad reserved as a person. When it came to meeting and being around April of course he doesn't shy away from talking and answering questions but he dose tend to hang back a tad. When they met superflys crew Raph sort of did the same once the idea of afight was dropped with this reveal. We do see him pretty ecstatic around Beep bop and Rocksteady however but he still seems the most comfortable around his brothers even when at the Dance he's a bit more playful with them. But we can see him being open around the kids hes befriending. He's a friendly person and likely willing to talk to anyone but it takes him a moment to warm up and be more okay with all his sides being shown.

Raph still wants very much to meet someone who just understands him in a way most don't. Raphael knows he has a lot of anger issue to work through and he tries to handle that best he can but it has made him pretty interested in things that come off more violent like things. Sport, horror movies, fighting in general. Raph isn't a bad person or even trying to be intimating well outside a fight of course, but his interest likely will sort of give him a rep in school as a tough kid, scary dog privilege basically. Look big and mean but when you know Raph? once again scary dog privilege hes loyal and pretty loving very outwardly at that.

Why meeting Casey is such a thing. Casey and Raph hold a bit of rivalry since Raph going into school he wants to just try out for every sport the school has to offer. Of course, this meant the hockey team as well. Raph liked the more contact sports like football over soccer so he tried for the team along with another kid. They were both good but the coah wasn't sure who to pick. Raph wasn't fully set on it but this stupid kid picking a fight with him made him a tad petty so they wound up getting into a fight. To which even after going home with a black eye he told Splinter in a very excited manner he had made a friend. Sure Raph has some like friends least kids he could get along with but I feel thats more outta of convince. Casey is the first person he kind of opens up around to with stuff he hasn't with his brothers even. That got long TDLR: Raph can be reversed and def has the aura of a scary dog like a pit bull so people can be a tad turned off from getting too close to him and his over ethuism for certain things. He got some humans hes friendly with who gotten past that but he can be a tad reserved deepening how comfortable he gets with someone else. And much like many dogs like Pits? Hes actually very friendly, and welcoming.

▶ : My muse and level of education. (If the muse has some form of education, what education they perhaps wish they had, e.t.c.). 

"I only now going to school so?"

Anything Raph dose know was taught by splinter or something he abosrd growing up. I don't see him being the best student when it comes to school either. He dose great in subjects like Gym and even art a bit. (I like to think he'll take some art classes) but as for the rest? he'll have some struggles mostly Math and Science courses.

◐ : My muse and animals. (If they like animals and treat them well, do not care for them at all, e.t.c.). 

" uh 'm a turtle?" I think Raph likes animals I feel i've said this with nearly all them so far? i really just think Raph is a cat person. But I feel MM also is pretty big on dogs as well. Which is why I keep saying hes got scary dog privilege haha. Dogs sort of match his energy but cats are nice and calming. I feel he treats them pretty nicely gently and with care knows ya gotta let an animal come to you sort. And when one dose? hes the happiest turtle in the world at that moment uwu

❒ : My muse and gifts. (If they are good/bad at finding gifts, good/bad at receiving gifts, good/bad at wrapping gifts, e.t.c.) 

"ehh I try?"

I think Raph has found things for his brother like if he spots something they might like or related to it? he'll snag it when on their runs.

☘ : My muse’s relation with their family. (If they speak with each other and how much, if they are close or estranged, e.t.c.). 

"I Love them I do jus'..ya know I wanna know others too? nothin' wrong with it?"

Raphael is very much a teen in that part of his life where he's trying to have his own life. Sometimes he can get carried away with it even no that it's something he can have, rather spending time with a friend over his brothers. It's nothing against them at all more him not quite learning that balance yet. But of course his brothers will always be his top priority when it comes down to it. His brothers mean a lot to him and they were his first friends as well. Nothing can ever get between him and them he will feel bad if any of them feel as if that is the case of course.

Raph very much tries to play cool around his brothers pretending he doesn't care but you can see how thats just an act. That he is playing to around his brothers. Sometimes he lets it slip like mentioning he would like to go to school never fully saying why though. Raph is very close to them all though openly joking around with them just being a full dork and getting up into to trouble like messing with Leo's sword and throwing ninja stars around. Despite him sometimes being annoyed with hoe Leo acts and can be you can also see how excited he gets when leo wants to join in on something for once. He gotta be close enough with leo to not be too upset hes playing with his sword. Even leo sort of joins in a bit when they are playing around on the roof. Raph seems to be able to get his brother into messing around.

Like Mikey dose when he tends to start most the jokes they get into even. Raph's clearly older brother side kicks in around them letting Mikey climb on top of him and such. And Raph being quick to jump in to try and help him and Donnie out when they need it that is. Doesn't baby either of them but is for sure there and ready to get in the mix of the danger.

With Donnie his twin uwu never letting this go when I can apply it. He dose pick on them a tad for being a weeb but it is outta of love, luckily anime is more main stream so I doubt Don will have to worry about being picked on for it but if he was? Raph would stand up for them in his own way "Hey he might be a a major dweed for likin' it and he is a major dweeb for likin' it but least he got better thing todo then pick on someone for it" type of sticking up.

He dose try and show some care into what his brothers like but it's cause he really just needs that himself in his life.

He loves Splinter and respects them he dosen't like be grounded but he'll stick to it and not break it even if he grumbles over it. Raph in part dose understand Splinter just looking out for him and his brothers. Sometimes that means he gets grounded or scolded but he dosen't always take it personally more that Splinter dosen't understand to which yeah some bits Splinter dosen't understand. But Raph still dosen't fault them to much for it. Hes still not ready to have a mom though and a tad grossed out on Splinters relationship but it makes him happy so? As for the rest of his family he is getting used to the suddenly abundance he has. He liked having more family around and is closest to Beepbop and Rocksteady, his sort like uncles he can be found with them the most when it comes to the extended part of his family. They sort of get the anger thing and often offer some advice when he's feeling just a tad ganged up on. I like to think they encourage him on his friendship with Casey since they are such an inseparable pair themselves.

[ducknotinarow]

Raph talking about his date with Casey: All I could think during the date was, ya know, "Is he gonna kiss me?"

03 Rasey  🍷💖

| Send a "🍷💖" and My Muse will drunkenly flirt with Your Muse

Mikey went to grab for the next can on his side of the table heavily debating and weighing his options here as his gaze shifted between the can and to Raphael, sitting across the wide wide smiling plaster over his face. Raphael pretty much had felt like he one the second the two of them sat down to play this so called ‘game’ Mikey should have know he wouldn’t been able to out drink Raphael himself but sometimes he can’t help but fall into that competitive mind set still chasing the high from when he beat Raph in the Battle Nexus after all this time he may been just a tad over confident. Raphael smirks suddenly watching Mikey’s hand drop to the table physically tapping out of the game.

“Ha!’hat the beat Mikey be easier ‘hat way!” Raph exclaims suddenly moving to stand up as he gabs for his last can on his line up, holding it to his beak as he gulp the contents down as if it were like breathing in air.

Crushing it in his hand once it was empty as he went for one of Mikey’s repeating the action from before. Hand grabbing for the can Mikey was going for before he gave up popping it open so it was ready for Raphael the second he finished the current can. He didn’t have to go and drink the last two of Mikey’s line up but he also had to in order to show up Mikey and rub the win in his youngest brothers face. Who simply rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath about it before he push against the table. Mikey was not in the mood to have the win rubbed into his face not to mention Mikey didn’t wanna be around Raph when he was drunk he was so annoying sometimes when he drunk too much. Ignoring the fact it was sort of on Mikey that Rah was going to be an issue for well everyone in the lair right now. Least till he spotted Casey who seemed to be paying a visit. Perfect someone to to take Raph of the rest of their hands! Usually greeting was given as he made a bee line for the human. Positive they were here to see Raphael in the first place but just in case best to send them over to him then. He was nice enough to warn them Raph was likely outta of it cause they were messing around with some drinking game that Raph kicked his butt in. Very much a clear plead for help to his older brother figure. Before dipping off to his own room needing to lie down. Alcohol wasn’t something he took to easily made him tried if he had enough of it soon as his head hit the pillow Mikey would be out for the rest of the night. So least Casey seemed able to take on dealing with Raphael.

Said turtle finished off the last can and crushed it as he had been doing with the rest, giddy little rally call to cheer and whoop over his win to himself. As he moved to reach for his mask tails struggling to loosen the knot on it. Mumbling under his breath As he reach back with both hands fingers just fumbling with the knot. He knows he tied it so he should be able to untie it “come on damn thing” Raph contained to snuggled as he fussed with his mask opting to tugging it don when he noticed Casey now in the kitchen with him.

Low whistle escapes the turtles beak as he leans his head to the side, propping it up with the palm of his hand. Mask was hanging around his neck the tail end thrown over his shoulder result from when he tried t take it off but just couldn’t quite figure it out but made the way he was eyeing Casey all far more obvious with green eyes trailing over Casey openly. “Bombshell enterin’ twelve o’clock, uh wait no? Three o’clock? Eh don’ matter”

Raph knows it’s Casey he ain’t that drunk to forget them the flirting? Yeah that was very much cause of the alcohol in his system as he rested elbows to the table and leaned forward to better stare at Casey “Come to see the champ, cowboy?” Raphael goes to ask still happily celebrating his win over Mikey far more fun to brag about it to someone then celebrate alone. Even better if it was Casey who was clearly going to be so impressed with their turtle. His tail started to wage behind him as he goes to happily point out all the crushed up cans to his boyfriend. “ ‘ook crushed up ones are mine,” Casey likely would be tell he alway had the habit of crushing the cans in his hands once he was done. Then pointing to the few that were left uncrushed. “Wipe the floor with ‘em ‘Ike nothin’ “ He slightly chuckles a bit to himself over it. Before moving to try an stand on his wobbling legs slightly swaying as he made his way over to Casey arm moving to hook round one of Casey’s as he let his chin rest to their shoulder looking up at them.

“Are ya my prize?” He asks not at all subtle with how he eyeing Casey, “Ya definitely tallest drink of water ‘round. An’ I should get lots an’ lots of it afta all I drank.” There’s a bearly hidden churr escaping Raphael as he speaks near about purring as he talks to his boyfriend right now.

Raphael tried to take a step to move in closer to them footing a bit miss judged as he stumbles about good thing Casey was sturdy and built like a brick house offering more than enough support for Raph when he lost his balance. Board strong arms moved to hold around the turtle and keep him up right. Not all to sure what Casey was saying right now but he recognizes that soft caring tone they hold when they have to switch into take care of my ‘dumb ass turtle’ mode. Soft faint smile comes across his beak when he hears how soft their voice drops, loving that it dose that just for him of all beings makes it better. Casey so nice and caring getting that aimed his way was making himself feel all warm right now. Or that’s cause he’s leaning up against their chest now trapped between their arms as Casey taking on their weight to keep him from falling flat on to the ground. That just makes his smile grow softer, the attention spent to make sure the idiot turtle didn’t go and hurt himself because he went and got drunk again.

“I’ call ya an angel for the save but,” moving to lift his head up to better look at his boyfriend, hand lifted so he could gentle tap his fringes to their face, “Heaven ain’t got nothin’ on you sweetheart.” Low soft churr bubbled out the back of his throat as he moves to get in comfortable with Casey “I ‘hink my legs are drunk.” He chuckles a bit as arms are lifted up moving to wrap around Casey neck a moment “help me out?”

Raph knows he doesn’t need to really ask Casey well todo anything guy just like that as is, never really got to ask him to help you he’s alway right there ready todo so. But Raph dose know asking meant Casey would give him that damn fucking smirk of theirs. That was always paired with the softest stare of those ocean deep blues of theirs. Tat soft chuckle as they took a shot at Raph. Eh the teasing was just part of how they were with each other, with every insult thrown between them there twice as much affection buried under the words. Easily hosted up and lifted from the ground as Raph shifted a bit in Casey hold letting his head rest against their shoulder churning only growing louder as he settled in theirs hold. Arms dropping from their neck to rest over his plastron nicely nuzzling in against their neck a little thank you on Raph’s end. All actions he would swear to hell and back he wasn’t doing once sober, but mind fogged over with the buzz of alcohol didn’t care in this moment at all.

“Hmm ‘ook ‘ike I’m a lucky princess ‘ere got my knight in hockey pads ta help me out?” He offers to Casey letting the faintest shade of red dust over his face before disrupting his own comfort to lift his head up to speak against their ear

“Should I give ‘em a nice little reward? My place ain’t far afta all?” Clearly not seeing how they are in the fucking lair but that fact was working in Raphael’s mind right now, no he had clearly different ideas working through his skull in the moment.

“Ya’ike treatn’ me ‘Ike ya pillow princess afta all too ‘ight? Should have all the nice things? I know the nicest thing ya can give m ‘ight now.” He goes to suggest before letting his head drop back to their shoulder,eyes growing heaven as he just rolled it to rest in against their neck, finding the kitchen lights to bright in the moment. “What should commit to the bit ‘ight? Save the princess get a happy endin’ how it happens in the stories. They jus’ leave the good stuff out” smirking suddenly “But ya better not leave it out.” Slightly chuckled to himself as he laughs against Casey’s shoulder now. Yeah, he was just a tad far gone at this point now. Good thing Casey was there, or he might have just passed out on the floor of the kitchen for the night. He counted himself lucky for as well on that fact as he happily listened to the vibrations of Casey voice when they spoke up again, only snickering as they did.

"Mmm I love you Case."

2k7 Raph Casey - 🤪[reverse uwu] (TEXT: I l  ove yoy Raph, I'll añways fuckinf love you - I love you Raph, I'll always fucking love you)

| Send 🤪 to receive a drunk text from my muse

Raph was getting pretty good at this not to brag but well yeah he was bragging as he was pulling in the chain link he had used to lower his latest catch down to the cop to deal with next. Before dipping out of sight well the best he could. They always seemed to manage to grab a quick picture of Raph no matter what, or a glimpse of him showed up for the news report later. Even when Don read over the paper with his picture or Mikey happened to catch the Nightwatcher on. They never seemed to put two and two together. That it was Raph so yeah he maybe at times wasn't as careful as he should have been. Hey he has a full metal suit to cover himself with.

Hoping off the ledge of the building a little bounce to his step, this felt great. Fuck Leo they didn't need Leo to still be doing something that meant something. Didn't need to sit around like a used tool either as Splinter seemed to want of them well they waited for Leo to return. As if he would. Leo's letter stopped coming so long ago and he was meant to have been home. Pretty clear to tell Leo didn't want to come back. They don't need mister fearless Leo anyway. They were all clearly adjusting just fine with out him.

Yeah clearly. That's why Raph was out in the middle of the night fighting crime alone. Sure he would go topside by himself before but not all the time. The sound of metal wasn't enough to drown out that of a duffel bag full of sports equipment in it. Or Hockey stick swinging back and forth against their back. The muffled breath from a hockey mask. Raph just groaned to himself, as he went to free his head from the helmet now. "Stop think' 'bout him! we don' get ta miss Casey." He snips at himself as if he were truly fighting with his heart just now he swears he can feel it grow heavy over his words. Helmet held to rest to his hip a moment as he strolled across the roof top. Stopping at the ledge on the opposite side.

He wasn't too far away from Casey's neighborhood.

"NO!" He growls a bit to himself dropping down to sit down. "Get a fuckin' grip I broke up with Casey!" Those word stung. It hurt more than any of the street punks that got in a lucky hit could ever duel out towards him. That was the simple truth no matter how much he wanted to just forgot. How could he forgot though? Raphael could easily still perfectly imagine Casey face that day he did it broke it all off between them. The hurt and confusion mixed over Casey's face. Raph did the one thing he dreaded to ever do to anyone he promised to protect, he hurt Casey. Worse he did it on purpose. There was a buzz on his side he ignored it at first, might just be Don.

Letting hie head tip back to rest against the brick ledge as he looked up to the sky, felt like the smog was only thicker these days the stars seemed to have lost their shine and sheen. That was just how everything felt to Raph. The appeal to anything he liked was just gone, he didn't hate it, just didn't bring him the joy he once felt before. Maybe because after a rough night when he slumped down to rest Casey's shoulder, was there for him to rest his tried head on. Their warmth his to soak in as they would throw their arm around him and tug for him to come closer. And they would look uo together. The sky always seemed brighter back then.

Going out to bust skulls together was always more fun than being out all alone like this even. Setting up the hits together, how Casey fought similar to himself, no mercy. The drive and thrill of the chase. Having Casey right beside him, knowing they had his back. Never had to worry about someone trying to hit him over the head. If they did get the better of him or overwhelmed him. There was Casey.

Raphael's partner in so many ways.

Heavey sign left his beak. Funny enough between the fighting, the intimacy, even what he missed? Was talking to Casey. Sure it be easy to tease and say the guy likely didn't have much to offer to talk about, but that's not true. Raph would hang on every word he wondered if Casey noticed that.

Trying to drag himself out of his thoughts as he finally pulled his phone free from his belt. He had to cruse the way his heart rate speed the second he read the name. 'Bonehead' accompanied by a picture of Casey, that Raph sneakily snapped one morning. He really should change that was the following thought. Seemed wrong to still use that photo for Casey...he didn't get to see that side of them anymore after all.

"Why ya textin' me anyway?" Trying to change the subject for himself as he opened their messages. Trying to ignore when the last text between them was sent

[TEXT] I l  ove yoy Raph, I'll añways fuckinf love you

There was a warmth sweeling in him, his heart seemed to all but come to sudden stop. The city noises fell on to deaf ears. Raph was stunned, by what he was reading was that it was hard to decipher Casey's text even with the odd way it had been typed out. He let his eye scan over it a few more times in the off chance he was wrong. He's not sure what he's feeling there's a lot going through him at the words. Four words that meant everything to him even since Casey started to say them. Enough to make Raph freeze every time they were said.

"You..." He grits his teeth grip tighten on his phone as he drops it not able to fave it right now. "How can you still..."

I love you still too

"We don' make sense!"

I need ta see you right now

"We can' be together!"

I want nothin' more than to be with you

"I did' the one thing I said I never do!" He couldn't argue that. He left. He hurt Casey, he told them he was done he knew deep down Casey was soft he worked to see past thier walls. He wanted to be trusted with that part of Casey. No matter what he wanted it so badly. Then...then he did excatly what Casey was protecting himself for.

"GOD DAMN IT!" He roared slightly the pain in his heart just seemed to weight it down more. "You could be with someone else! Some else to drive off with, someone else ta kiss someone else arms to fall asleep in..." but Raph couldn't stand the image in his mind of any of that happening.

Turning to face towards thier neighborhood. "You can do all of that but...please don' do the things we did. Late night bike rides. Goin' all the places that were jus' ours.... I am selfish." Rubbing his face with his hand now as he sighed out heavily once more. "I don' have any right ta say that crap. Casey should be allowed to move on he should move on even! I can- I mean I don-" He knew he could say that because it wasn't ture in the slightest. That he didn't love them? Raph was a lot of things and one was still in love with Casey Jones. Phone lifted back up to read over the screen. It was clearly messed up. Maybe they didn't mean it, clearly drunk meant for someone else even.

That turly made his heart feel like it was sinking down into his shell now. "He should be with someone who can give 'em all they want. House, kids...not a busted up broken..me." not matter how much he wanted to be with Casey right now. Hear that dumb laugh, feel thier arms slung around him and knuckles digging into his skull. Never did understand why that was whar Casey did but he missed it a lot.

"Ya gotta find someone else...someone good for ya Case. Who'll give ya all ya want." Lookink back to the phone himself, a moment of weakness as he started to type only to stop. When the sound of sierns hit his ears. Making him stand up altered to where it seemed to be coming from. Looking down to where he saw thw flash of red and blue heading he could get there faster if he cross over the rooftops.

Casey.

Raphael looked back to his phone, eyeing the text he nearly sent himself. He didn't delete it he just closed it out and shoved it back away, and he set his helmet over his head once again. "Casey....don' wast ya time on me."
