#I wonder if they make good pets

[turtleblogatlast]

Headcanon that Leo really loved to give his family massages growing up. We know that he’s good at them from the episode “You Got Served” and we know he likes spas and relaxation and getting massages himself from when he tried to get these in “Bad Hair Day” and from when Donnie made a tennis ball massage machine in “Smart Lair.”

So I think it’d be cute to think that maybe one day Leo overheard Splinter complaining about a bad back and immediately Leo thinks back to a comic or movie or something he saw where a massage helped so he offers to give one and it actually ends up helping Splinter.

Then April swings by the Lair at a later time and mentions her back hurting because of her backpack from school and Leo’s all like “I gotcha!”

From there, he occasionally manages to convince Donnie to sit for one because Donnie’s shrimp posture does not help him any (Leo pokes fun at how sandpaper-y Donnie’s shell is despite knowing it’s always like that and Donnie smacks him for it.) Donnie usually prefers hand massages instead however as all his typing and inventing adds up over time, and shoulder massages too once he starts wearing his battle shells more. Leo also figures out how to give massages to Raph and Mikey’s shells as well, though it’s a struggle at first to not scratch his hands on Raph’s spikes.

I think since Leo has such bad luck with spas and the like, he tries giving himself massages (though it’s not as helpful.) Like, with how his abilities work his legs are probably always aching from his portal jumping and one foot landings, so maybe he branches past back massages out of a need to help his own aches too. (Though he really wants a shell massage himself, the same way he’d give them…the one time with Donnie’s tennis ball massage machine was but a short moment of what Leo’s been missing out on and what he’ll continue missing out on…)

I don’t know, I just think it’d be cute to think Leo could have honed his massaging skill this way in order to help out his family (and also partially because he wants a massage himself.)

Can you tell us the story of how you got Henry?

Oh, yes, definitely :) When I was seventeen, my grandfather decided I should go on sort of a tour around all the provinces in Nesus so that people could meet me and also celebrate the reunification of the country. It was nice to visit some different places and also talk a little bit to commoners who I wouldn't normally have met about what kind of things were important to them. But there were also a lot of big parties. Which I sometimes really don't like. So one night we were in Lovis (at Lady Heywood's estate, if you've ever been there) and the celebration was really loud and I wasn't feeling very well so I went out to the garden to sit somewhere quiet. After a few minutes, a cat wandered over to me. It wasn't Lady Heywood's cat, so I think it had gotten in through a hole in her garden wall maybe. But it was really friendly and nuzzled its head against my knee until I started petting it and then let it pet me for a really long time and fell asleep next to me on the bench I was sitting on, which made me feel a lot better.

That was why I decided I wanted to have a cat. My grandfather said we could just take that one and pay whoever it belonged to if they complained, but it seemed clean and well-fed and happy so I thought it probably wouldn't want to leave home. But when we got back to Verula, I asked a servant to please find out if there were any cats in the city who needed someone to take care of them, and Henry was the first one he found. (That might have been good, because I think I would have felt too guilty if I met more cats and couldn't adopt all of them, but I also wanted to start with just one since it would be the first pet I had ever taken care of.) He was a little less than a year old and someone had found him after his mother and the other kittens in his litter had frozen to death the winter before. They and some of their neighbours took turns taking care of him but they were having trouble feeding him enough, and I guess he couldn't find many animals to hunt either since a lot of money goes into keeping Verula very clean.

Henry wanted to sit in my lap the very first time I met him. He still always wants to make sure he's extra warm. I got him checked out to make sure he was healthy and then he was mine. I love him so much. If I can say something like that about an animal, he might be my best friend.

i just think its really funny that non spanish speakers tend to use querido a lot in buddie fic, as a pet name from eddie to buck, when irl it's not actually that common? i mean, maybe like 50 years ago it was but now no it isnt. do your research people! there's plenty of latino and native spanish speakers in this fandom- literally any of us could tell you. i guess cariño is acceptable, but i have yet to see anyone use amor or mi amor in fic, which are the most common pet names across the whole hispanic community. there's literal evidence of el mismisimo ryan guzman calling his wife mi amor, why not follow his lead? it's not that hard. if you, as a writer, dont feel confident or comfortable writing in another language then just... dont.

I'm starting to see ppl talk abt updating their artfight pages and at first I was like what why it's still months away and then it hit me that by months it was two months and now I'm just silently sweating as my anual side project to remake the eternal gales refs and give them all icons comes back to haunt me

I dunno why everyone says they hate grooming and hand stripping dogs. I find it so soothing. I would probably go for hours if Arthur didn't let me know he was done with it.

The unfortunate thing about having hypersensitivity to textures is that there are entire swaths of dog breeds I hate on a purely sensory level
