2k12 Dee I love u but this was not it

Pushing my rise turts paint their nails the colour of their brothers agenda

Bonus of my fav panels

[hotheadedhero]

hey, can I ask for hsc tmnt 2012 ( leo sonnie mikey raph) how do they behave around your boobs, how do they react to you shaking them, touching them, random situations, e.g. when they hug to greet you and I feel your breasts pressing against his plastron

AN: I got iddy biddy tiddies so I had to think real good on this one XD

Boob Behaviour

All characters are aged up

Warnings: slightly suggestive but mostly safe by "typical" NSFW standards

2012 Turtles x Reader

Leonardo

Not something to initially cross his mind or retract his attention from something in a typical day-to-day. That isn't to say that he doesn't love them but most of his adoration for you is centred around who you are as a person. He never wants to come across as the type of guy who shamelessly oggles you. Perhaps that's because he has an overly adjusted sense of being respectful.

However, low-cut tops are a different story entirely. It takes him off guard when you walk into the lair and he catches a glimpse of cleavage. His cheeks will surely burn and he has to try his best to keep his cool for the rest of the day. Matters aren't helped if you decide to train with him and they jiggle about with your movements. You look amazing.

Raphael

He'll look for excuses to touch them and sometimes it's just to annoy you. At random points in the day, he will just jab the side of your boob and walk off as if he didn't do anything, playing coy. He isn't past poking you right in the nipple either because it just gets the best jolts out of you. You love him but you can't always say you appreciate it.

Although, you can proudly say that you threw a curve ball when you stuck your chest in his face during one of your impromptu wrestling matches. You can only imagine the stars he must have been seen. The look on his face was priceless and you definitely paid for it later. Worth it, though.

Donatello

Easily flustered when it comes to your chest. He isn't the type to gawk or even make a big deal out of them but it's the moments when you hug his arm and they press into him that really make him short-circuit. It doesn't matter how long you've been together, you still make him nervous.

It especially doesn't help when you become lost in thought or space out and absentmindedly hold your breasts. You could be working on your computer and one of your hands will just cup them as you type. He can't hold a conversation with you very well when you naively squeeze them like that. Maybe one day he'll get used to it.

Michelangelo

Almost an innocent fascination when he realises how squishy they are. He manages to not be as bashful as one might think him to be. They're a part of your body and another part of you that he loves just as much as the rest of you. Why should he get so shy around a body part? That's all it is at the end of the day.

When he's lying on top of you, he likes to wrap his arms around your waist and rub his face in them. Sometimes it's to get a laugh out of you, which it does, and other times it's just because he finds them comfortable. Either way, you never have any complaints considering how sweet he is. Boy, neither does he.

[fluffyslug]

Okay, Imma talk incohernetly about 2012 Raph because I have feelings.

So, this train of thought started when I noticed that he always sits farthest away from the TV. Mikey and Leo are practically nosing the screen and Donnie sits close as well when he's actually there, but Raph is usually a solid 15 feet away at least. At first I thought it was because he just didn't care for television; he was usually reading a comic after all.

But then I was watching him more carefully, and I don't think that's entierly it. See, he doesn't seem to like being surprised by things. When Mikey walked in with his *imaginateive* pizza he screamed. Actuall involuntary yell of distress there. When the Shell Raizer crashed around the corner that one time Donnie rescued them all he leapt the highest and stayed crouched down long after all the others were calm and talking.

As someone who watches movies with my dad on occasion I can relate to subconciously scooting away from the screen. The volume is fine enough for the talking scenes, BUT IT COULD CHANGE SCENES AT ANY MOMENT AND BE WAY TOO LOUD OR THE LOUD MUSIC COULD START OR SOMETHING HORRIFYING COULD JUMP UP ON SCREEN AND IT WOULD BE LOUD!! I don't think he dislikes loud noises (he yells and plays the drums after all). I think he dislikes surprises, and sudden movements, and noises he can't predict or controll. As long as he's expecting it he's fine, but as soon as something surprises him he's easily the most high strung of the brothers. Whether his reaction be to stab it, or shriek, or both.

And if you're touching elbows with your brothers they'll feel it when you jump at that scene change.

Am I making sense? I had more scenes in my head where he was doing stuff like this, but I can't remember them now.

[softpawpup]

regressor ! michaelangelo [ tmnt 2012 ] headcannons !! ( request from anon )

mikey is embarassed about his regression at first, it happens a lot when he gets frustrated and upset and he gets fussy

everyone assumes its just mikey being mikey

mikey likes coloring books the most to help him calm down when he's having a hard time while regressed

mikey's tantrums can be really frustrating for everyone, including him. especially when he first starts regressing, no one really knows what to do or whats going on with him

mikey only confides in raphael at first, raph becomes his babysitter sometimes and walks him through breathing exercises

when he's overstimulated, he cries pretty bad because he often regresses as a result of the overstimulation

he doesn't like wearing his mask when he's regressed

mikey has regressed mid-battle before and his brothers got frustrated with him, he tries not to regress in battle but on really bad days its hard not to

when he finally feels comfortable telling everyone about it, they kind of have an "ahah!" moment realizing why mikey acts the way he does sometimes

april really likes pampering him when he's little and feeding him yummy foods, she makes mini pizzas for him

More twin turtle ideas: Chirping Language.

Let me explain.

2003 Donnie: *insert adorable nerdy turtle chirps*

Other 2003 characters: *Very confused*

2003 Raph: He's asking for his wrench, dumbass.

2003 Donnie: Also wrong. I said hug. Give me a damn hug right now.

2003 Raph: ...oh-

Or, on the Rise side...

2018 Donnie: *angry, ranting chirping while pacing*

2018 Leo: *also angry, ranting chirping while pacing*

2018 Raph: ...what are they doing?

2018 Mikey: They saw characters from Jupiter Jim get put into a ship they dont like and now they're mad and are ranting to each other.

Or, on the 2012 side...

2012 Raph: *loud, angry sounding chirping as he's grabbing onto Mikey's leg, getting dragged along the floor as he did, like a feral animal*

2012 Mikey: No, Raph, I'm not going to play video games with you after you threw pizza in my face-

2012 Raph: *Louder chirping from a whiny turtle*

I always love the idea that the turtles chirp, and these are cracking me up.

Bonus:

Bayverse Donnie: *chirping excitedly to Raph, who looks half asleep*

Bayverse Leo: what’s he got excited about this time?

Bayverse Raph: Peas

(I hc that bayverse donnie, when getting overly excited, just starts chirping. And he can get stupidly excited about the strangest things)

[forgetful-nerd]

Rise! Leo and Rise! Donnie, in an effort to prove that they are the ultimate twins, decide to have a “twin off.”

Of course it can’t just have any pair of twins as their competition, they need the most ultimate set of twins, and who would be better competitors than fellow turtle twins?

So, combining Donnie’s tech and Leo’s portals they create an inter dimensional portal, and traverse the multiverse to find different turtle twins to a “twin off.”

Except they realize early on that most of their other dimensional counterparts are quadruples, not twins.

However, they are both too stubborn to give up, so they assign “twin” status based on vibes and then kidnap those turtles to participate in their twin competition.

All this to say that Rise! Raph is not happy when he wakes up to find, not only has their lair been trashed, but they now have some unexpected and unhappy house guests.

Mainly, two very pissed-looking Raphs (2003 & 2012) being held back by a very irritated Leo (2012) and a slightly amused Donnie (2003).

[turtlefanboy]

Hiii!! Local trans guy here,could I request the 2012 turtles with a really strong trans partner? I know one thing that makes me feel really masculine is being strong:D!!

A/N: Happily!! And I can understand being strong does make you feel really masc! I am so sorry this came out a lot later than I wanted like I think 2 years ahead of deadline, life has been crazy like I'm a junior now and I'm 17. Hope you like what I wrote though!

FEM DNI

2012! Turtles with Trans Masc S/O who’s really strong!

Leo

Leo loves the fact that you're strong.

honestly all the turtles do.

he will still want to protect you and make sure you don't get hurt.

but it reassures him to know that you can handle your own in a fight if you need to.

He loves to be carried by you.

makes him feel like you're his knight in shining armor.

he also picks you up to make you feel the same dw.

he does spar with you and is genuinely surprised when he loses to you!

he likes to spar with you as to challenge himself and to get better at fighting.

and so you get better at fighting as well!

will ask you to cosplay the like captain from space hero's

totally not because he's in love with him and you and it would be super cool if you did that combining the two things he loves-

totally not-

likes to watch you fight

not as much as Raph

but he will sometimes look over at you with a loving gaze as you knock out an enemy.

does not care that you're trans

none of the turtles do

mutant turtle that is rejected by society he can't Judge!

also he helps you whenever you are feeling dysphoric

will tell you that you are the most handsome and strongest guy he knows

and loves

Raph

LOVES THAT YOU'RE STRONG

IT MEANS HE CAN SPAR WITH YOU!

AND YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH HIM!!

he definitely works out with you and gives pointers as to how to be stronger.

please carry this man like a princess.

he adores it

he adores you

as mentioned before he loves sparring with you

since you're strong like him it doesn't mean he has to hold back!

and he loves that!

and he genuinely is a good sport when he loses to you

and that's totally not because he likes being thrown around by you

absolutely not.

he also likes it when he wins against you

inflates his ego.

he also loves fighting in battles with you and loves watching you fight

like he will just be starring at you so lovingly as you smash a Kraangs metal skull

he's just smitten

has to have someone yell at him to stop starring at you

he adores you and absolutely loves the fact you're strong.

Also makes sure you don't feel dysphoric

genuinely angry whenever he hears someone was transphobic to you

or was just mean to you...

they get a little visit from Raph and get beaten the shit out of-

like how dare they say that to his handsome and strong boyfriend

he don't care if your strong and can beat people up yourself

he will still beat them up himself.

Donnie

again all the turtles love that you're strong

same with nerd over here (I say that affectionately)

he helps you with becoming stronger

likes diets

and workouts that help

and he gives you workouts that will help with your gender dysphoria

like he will give you workouts that make your body more masculine

if you want that of course

he asks for your help a lot to pick up big heavy things he can't

genuinely your biggest fanboy

loves to have you there helping him by being his brawns

has definitely written fanfics of you two

and it's the jock x nerd trope

he doesn't tell you about them

much like Raph he just stares at you adoringly while you fight an enemy

takes a lot to snap him out of it though

literally have to bonk him out of his trance

he just is absolutely smitten with you

definitely has a folder dedicated to pictures of you working out

for research purposes

doesn't spar with you unlike his brothers

mainly because he is more into computers and tech rather than fighting.

but he definitely roots for you as you fight his brothers

fucking loves it when you beat Raphs ass

Mikey

Loves your strength

Loves to be picked up like a pretty princess by you

Calls you his knight in shining armor

Showers you in kisses whenever he can

Goofball over here will flirt with you a lot though

Constantly flirting and complimenting you

Like calling you handsome, or hot

Compliment him as well he loves it

Definitely made you dress up as a knight while he dressed up as a prince

He just loves it

Has made you play DND with him

He loves sparring with you

and also watching you beat his brothers sometimes

Mikey adores you

and will watch you with heart eyes as you fight much like his older brothers

but he can multitask, he's fighting while admiring you

its impressive.

throws himself in your arms after a fight

he loves you and adores you.

[non-bionical-mecha-dude]

Could you write a Donnie 2012 with a fem reader who loves listening to him talk about whatever he's interested in, to the point that she'll shush the other turtles if they try to interrupt or shut him down? And like if they don't stop shutting him up she'll just yell at them lmao

if not that fine please ignore

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTLEY! Sorry for the delay! I momentarily died, can I promise it won't happen again? NO! But can I promise I will get to each ask? A HARD MAYBE! But I absolutely loved this idea.

2012 DONATELLO X FEM!READER

Basically: Female reader who loves to listen to Donnie

To say you were smitten with this nerdy turtle was an understatement

God you loved his voice

The way his eyes would light up when he came up with a new invention

The way his fists would ball up and shake in excitement when a plan/blueprint was coming together

He would constantly sit in his lab, telling you ALLLLLLL about the new inventions he made as you laid your head on the table and listened to him, a smile on your face every time.

One time Leo walked into the lab as Donnie did one of his rants with you, his back turned away as he illustrated something on a nearby white board

Before Leo even took a breath to speak to you, you have immediately put a hand on his mouth to keep him from talking, not tearing your eyes away from Donnie as he ranting, not noticing Leo in the room

As you removed your hand, you made a shooing motion with his hand to get Leo out. Leo was confused but obliged, turning around and shutting the lab door

Donnie of course heard the door and stopped ranting to turn towards the door

"Did someone walk in here?-"

"Nope! Nobody at all, now, what was it you were saying about the new additions to the Shell-Raiser?"

"Oh! Right! Anyway-"

God you loved him

One time though, he sat with you on the couch, leaning against your shoulder as he scribbled out designs for a new inventions for his brothers to try out on their next mission

Of course, in the middle of it, the three other brothers decided now was the perfect time to argue about who got to watch their show next

With their bickering, Donnie sighed, he could never get a moment of peace, could he?

"I BELIEVE IT WAS MY TURN TO WATCH SPACE HEROS!"

"Guys-"

"OH YEAH? WELL I CALLED DIBS!"

"HOW ABOUT I CALL YOU 'DEAD' IF YOU DON'T HAND ME THAT REMOTE RIGHT NOW?"

"HOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I TAKE THAT REMOTE AND BREAK IT IN HALF OVER YOUR SHELLS?!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Clears throat, "Anyway, what were you saying Donnie?"

Sorry if this was so short! Requests are still open!

(I'm running out of Donnie Gifs to use y'all, this'll have to do ;-;)

This was commissioned by a friend. Posted this on AO3 yesterday but forgot to post it here 😅

2012 Leo x Reader angst

★ 2012 Leo defenently has some issues talking about how he feels with anyone other than Splinter. He's convinced himself that nobody would want to listen to him. Have you met his brothers? None of them have heard the term “healthy communication”

★ I'm not saying he doesn't trust them! Because he does, more than anybody else. It's just that he doesn't trust his brothers to not make fun of him.

★ Most of the time he's too prideful to ask you for help. What if you make fun of him? Forget that. He'd rather suffer in silence than tell you what's going on.

★ It goes without saying that keeping everything in like that isn't healthy. This results in a lot of lost sleep due to overthinking. About his future, about the safety of his friends/family and ultimately about you.

★ There's definitely some self doubt in his mind that makes him think about his relationship with you. You're the most amazing human he's ever met. And Leo's just a mutant who got lucky. Why would you ever settle for him when there's so many people who can give you what he can't? You deserve a normal life...

★ Meditation is his favorite coping skill, whether he knows it of not. It helps him relax and focus his attention onto his body. Also, the quiet break from everyone is well-needed. The other, more unhealthy coping skill he has is training.

★ Not just regular training with splinter and the other turtles, but by himself. He could (and has) spent hours in the dojo practicing his form and technique. Not letting himself take a break until he's shure that if he doesn't stop he'll pass out. But usually splinter steps in before that happens.

[litteralyjustawriter]

TMNT brother's favorite swear words because I want to

(MM-2023, Rise-2018, and 2012)

(also fun fact the turtles are canoically black through the comics and that has been brought into light with the recent VAs so take that as you will because I'm far to white to be saying who does or doesn't say a certain word)

CW: swear words (obviously), the C word and other derogatory words towards women

Mutant Mayhem

Raph: Bastard or Motherfucker

Raph has been sneaking out of bed to watch R-rated movies since he was 9

Has watched all Deadpool movies and idolizes him

"Rat Bastard" is his favorite tho (he calls his dad it a lot on his head)

Donnie: Shit

Probably just says it when he screws up

Does call Mikey a dumbass a lot though

Leo: FFFF-

He cuts himself off before he can

This kid ratted out his brothers in the first 5 minutes of the movie, he's to soft to swear

Thinks swearing will greatly disappoint his father and doesn't want to do that

Gets his teenage rebellion and eventually starts swearing but not till like 17

Mikey: Holy Shit

Doesn't go a day without it

Cool trick? "Holy shit!"

About to fall fat on his face? "Holy shit!"

Rise Of The TMNT

Raph: Fuck

Basic

To the point

"Leo what the fuck-"

Donnie: Cunt and Bitch (derogatory)

"Raging Cunt"

"What a bitch"

He avoids using it on women but absolutely will if they are one

Leo: Cunt and Bitch (nonderogatory)

"Cunty"

Calls his brothers (and April) Bitch in the way gay men do

He uses a specific tone of voice that makes it so no-one could ever misinterpret it as derogatory

Mikey: Shit

"Piece of shit"

"Little shit"

Says it a lot when he fucks up a drawing

TMNT (2012)

Raph: Prick

Close call, too many to chose

Any derogatory word he can call someone he has

Smart enough to not call someone a slur tho

Got it off some shit UK show from the early 90s on VHS

Donnie: Damnit

This is set in 2012- he's called April a bitch

"I know bate doesn't talk back!" You can't argue he didn't in that scene AT LEAST

That definitely doesn't mean it's his favorite though

He says Damnit a lot while fighting and working in his lab

Leo: Fuck and Dumbass

The brothers getting called dumbasses from Leo is practically a daily occurrence

Mumbles a number of profanities while fighting but fuck is his go to

Mikey: Dick/Bitch

"What a dick/Bitch!"

Uses both gender neutral and interchangeable way

Dick and Bitch is his favorite but he says "wtf" way more

He gives: "You're such a bitch!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" "I have an itch ☺️"

Bonus!

2012 April: What The Hell

"What the hell [name]!?"

"What the hell was that?!"

I feel like she's definitely said this in the show but I can't remember

[katsettee]

Fuck it, I’m jumping on the trans leo train

Blue turtle gender identity crisis we’re doing this it’s like rly rly important trust me cmon it’s gonna be fine it’s gonna be great

[medicated-death]

Look it’s her, she’s here

[pezhead]

Okay. I Had a shower thought. If 2012 Donnie had a moment where he breaks down, most likely away from everyone, would Raph be the best to comfort him??? I feel like he would, like by asking him about his brothers and what they're like🥰 sorry, I cant get the image out of my head of the two tallest curled up in a corner like that.

❤️💜RAPH'S HUGS CURE DEPRESSION❤️💜

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I do think Rise Raph is better at comforting than the rest of this brothers (even Dr Feelings). Boy has so much big bro experience~
