Raphael (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles): In Animation (1987 - Present)

[teenage-mutant-ninja-freak]

i love this blog so much! how would the boys react to having a daughter? i imagine them being completly whipped if they have one, their daughter would be their little princess and their s/o just rolls her eyes smiling fondly at them playing

I knid of already have headcannons of the turtles having kids (if you search “tmnt dads” on my blog) so I’ll keep this short

Leo:

Master of hair styles for his little girl

loves brushing out her hair while it’s wet after bath time

does a little night time routine where he has to say goodnight to all of her cuddly toys so they "don’t feel left out”

less strict with her than he would be with boys

always claims she “rules the roost” not him

Raph:

apple of his eye, just his little princess

will read her any bed time story she wants, no matter how soppy and girly it is

if you think this boy isn’t down on all fours with her on his back playing horsey then you’re wrong

loves it when she falls asleep on him, he’s so soft for that

always begging her to never grow up and “stay my little angel forever, please?”

Mikey:

The king of dress up- he will be called by his royal name which is “princess daddy”

story time is his jam, he does all the voices and everything so she giggles and his heart melts

little bit reckless and will throw her up in the air and catch her but he’s a ninja so nothing ever goes wrong

has been known to wear lipstick while playing game with her, also she gets lots of kiss marks on her face from this

loves to dress her in ridiculous things everyday so he gets a disapproving look from you

Donnie:

oh she’s the apple of his eye as well as his little prodigy 

always tells her she’s going to be the next president of the united states

gives into her every whim, like far too many snacks and toys (because she needs to grow up big and smart, duh!)

reads to her all the time, but always stories with a message and they play a game of “so what was the lesson this story teaches us?”

bed time is his fave, when she’s all serene and peaceful, he’ll tuck her in with a kiss every damn night or so help him god

Acceptance [Oneshot, AU]

Universe: Teenage Mutant Teenage Turtles (Paramount movieverse)

Rating: G (nothing but feel-good love here)

Characters: Raphael ❤️, Leonardo 💙, Michelangelo 🧡, Donatello 💜, Splinter 💛

Summary: AU in which the end of Out Of The Shadows involves the turtles getting discovered and choosing to fully reveal themselves. Many people still don’t believe they exist, but they still end up with worldwide renown and even end up in online polls. Donny finds one in particular…

“Who is your favorite ninja turtle?”

Those words, spoken by Donny at his computer, got everyone’s attention. The brothers glanced at one another, then came over, curious.

“What’s this?” Leo asked as he drew near.

“A poll,” Donny answered. With a strangled laugh, he explained, “They’re debating who’s the fan favorite of us.”

Intrigued but concerned at the same time, Leo looked at his brothers, wondering if they really should look into that. It could be damaging to his brothers’ confidence…or his own, for that matter.

“Let me guess,” Raphael commented dryly, already sounding annoyed, “Leo’s in the lead?”

It probably made sense for him. Besides, Raph was the Negative Nancy of them – always had something bad to think or say.

“Actually,” Donny corrected, “no one is.”

At that, they shared looks of surprise.

“Really?” Leo checked.

Pointing at the screen, Donny outlined the current scores. Raph: 272 votes. Donny: 269 votes. Mikey: 268 votes. Leo: 268 votes.

“Raph’s in the lead right now, but it keeps changing. According to the timestamps, it’s constantly just about equal. We’ve all held the lead for a little while, at least.”

That…actually surprised Leo. If there was a “fan favorite”, he would’ve guessed it would be Mikey. The exuberant, unfailingly upbeat youngest brother – and his comedic antics – seemed like the type to charm everyone in the world, one by one.

“Huh,” he grunted. “How long has that been up?” he wondered.

“Two hours,” Donny answered.

Wow. Two hours and over a thousand votes had come in?

“Hey,” Mikey noted, “there’s comments? What’s that say?” He was too far away, the screen at an angle, to see it clearly.

Obliging, Donny began reading. But first he warned, “The comments are just latest-first. Not top rated or anything like that.”

“Just read ‘em,” Raph snapped – impatient and gruff.

And, Leo guessed, nervous. Of the four of them, Raphael had always been the one who most craved being able to just walk down the street. By comparison, Mikey wanted to be outright loved and appreciated, while Donny just wanted to be able to put his intellect to practical use in the scientific community.

Leo, on the other hand, just wanted to keep the world – and most notably his brothers – safe. He didn’t like that they were known around the world now, but only because he feared what kind of danger they could get in now.

But this poll might just change his mind…

Donny began reading.

“O-M-G this is so hard. I love all of them, so so much, they’re just so precious. But if I had to pick, I’m a Mikey girl. He’s so cute and seems like a lot of fun y’know? I bet he’s the type to play around and cuddle at the same time! WANT!”

That comment had Mikey frozen, eyes wide, jaw open.

The next one had Donny hesitating. “My fave’s D-Donny. I mean have you guys seen that truck of theirs? Cause HE made that. HE did. How cool is that? Can’t deny his brilliance.” 

Which was fully true. The guys had helped, but only in little ways – retrieving items Donny requested or holding things in place for him. The battletruck was all Donny’s baby.

“Gotta be Raphael for me. Everyone keeps talking about how strong he is and whatever, but honestly he’s my favorite cause he’s just like me. I have so much trouble with my anger, too. I’ve burnt so many bridges because of it. This is going to sound corny, but he inspires me to keep trying to make things right, no matter how wrong I get.”

Leo couldn’t help giving him brother a smile at that. He honestly wouldn’t have guessed that people liked that part of Raph, but it was weirdly fitting.

Raphael, he saw, was uncomfortable, shifting and struggling not to grin.

Donny went on.

“Mikey, easy. He makes me laugh. I have depression, and seeing him on the news always cheers me up. Idol, right there. I wanna be just like him.”

Eyes flooding, Mikey commented, “Love that guy.”

Donny sent him a smile; Raph rubbed his head. Sniffling, Mikey grinned, taking shaky breaths but holding back from losing it.

This was making Leo happy, actually.

The next comment was for him, too, and it had him feeling as emotional as Mikey looked.

“Favorite? Hard pick, but I’d say Leonardo. He’s such an inspiration. Responsible, disciplined, caring, courageous, brilliant… I mean they’re all so cool, in their different ways, but you gotta love the guy who keeps them all together. That can’t be easy. I imagine he has a hard time reigning them all in sometimes but he does it anyway. I’ve been trying to be more like him.”

It was incredible how accurate these comments were, Leo mused, even as he fought off a wave of tears, himself. Mikey, of course, noticed and patted his arm.

“Told you coming out of the shadows wasn’t such a bad thing,” Mikey said.

“Yeah, you did,” Leo agreed.

Then Donny jumped up and away from the computer, obviously flustered. He was muttering, but too fast for even Leo to keep up with.

“Donny?” he ventured.

Suspicious, Raph moved to look at the screen. Then he laughed and read, “Donny Donny Donny Donny Donny – all in caps,” he added in an aside. “Love him love him love him, I just wanna hug him and give him big smooches and listen to him talk about things I don’t understand. He��s so cute, O-M-G, I want hiiiiiiiiim.” Raph’s almost monotone reading lessened the impact somewhat, but in a hilarious way.

Embarrassed as Donny was, Leo couldn’t help laughing – not just because it was funny, but because it got him nervous. Would they all end up with comments like this?

Apparently yes, because suddenly Raph went rigid and escaped from the alcove. He disappeared from sight quickly, and Mikey and Leo immediately took his place.

“Raphael! Such a hottie, I bed he gives the best cuddles. And can I just squeal over those f-ing arms of his? Yes? I’m gonna anyway. Ahhhhh!! I just wanna jump on him and watch him work out and kiss him all over. I can has? Yes? Yes!”

Afraid the next one was going to be a similar comment about Leo, he closed the browser window. Clearing his throat, he met Mikey’s gaze. “So,” he intoned.

Mikey glanced at the still-flustered Donny and back, then said, “Betcha Donny’s gonna look up who sent that comment.”

Leo chuckled. He had to agree, though he didn’t say it aloud. “That’s enough internet for one day,” he decided, giving Mikey a nudge out of the alcove.

As they left, Leo spotted Splinter sitting on a high pipe. He’d been listening, Leo knew immediately. His hearing could have heard everything from anywhere in the lair.

And, he saw, Splinter was smiling, pleased.

Maybe being famous wasn’t such a bad thing.
