#I'M JUST SO NERVOUS AAAAAAA

[oblivions-dawn]

Anyone: I can't wait to read your writing I'm so excited!!

Me: AUUGHUUGHUKGHKUGUHUGHUUAHGAUAGUAHAH

[greenheartart]

Am I so excited to finally be sharing this story that I made a cover image for it? You bet I am!

More info under the cut :D

A Lovely House of Bones is a story very much inspired by @tyranttortoise and her wonderful "Skeletons Squatters and the Landlady" because goddamn am I a sucker for tropes and found family and slow burns, and she inspired me to write my own take on the concept.

Chapter 1 will go up on Saturday July 29th, and I plan on releasing new chapters every other week going forward, so there will be something of a consistent update schedule (fingers crossed!)

I've been rolling this story around in my head for a long time, so it's so exciting to finally be putting it out into the world. I really hope you guys enjoy it! ♥

[otomehonyaku]

working on those Ruki/Yui excerpts to hopefully post this week! the fourth chapter of the novelization is also underway but I think I'll post the excerpts first so stay tuned

Looking back to last year and seeing the progress I've made is almost surreal. I feel like i keep saying it but I'm proud of myself, in a way that I don't even know I can communicate to others just how much I've grown. I feel like it might not be obvious from the outside but I feel SO much more stable and calm and capable of regulating my emotions and my nervous system (whereas before I wasn't even AWARE of the state of my nervous system, let alone able to manage it. I just knew I felt terrible.)

Last year feels like an eternity ago. I hate the saying that you need to go through hard times to grow but... That's what happened

" is it suddenly a crime to want to visit a ' friend ' ? " the stoneheart tone is nonchalant as ever. though, the both of them know that the ipc does not simply visit for the fun of it. aventurine always has something up his sleeve.

the coin that he was fidgeting with in his right hand is flicked in the direction of the halovian with a cat — like smile that resembles more of a smirk. never once pausing as he made his way towards the office.

⭑ ☀ — @lifegambled

" WELL if it isn't mr. aventurine. to what do i owe the pleasure? " a smile dons his lips, but there seems to be an underlying hint of something else. what was it? that was for sunday to know and only those privy to find out. " we don't have a schedules appointment for quite some time so there must be another reason you've come here. please-- " a pause to give a hand gesture for the other to proceed " --if you will. "

♡ ─ ev's notes | aaaaaaa, i love lovesick jack

"Do you like the dinner?" Ellen's voice was soft as she watched you eat the dinner slowly. She sounded slightly concerned as she watched you but the truth was, it was delicious - you were just nervous. No one would blame you though, this was the first time meeting Jack's family and anxious was an understatement. You knew they had high expectations for their son, you just hoped they liked you.

"It's so good, thank you." You answered nervously as she smiled back warmly. She was not as intimidating as you thought she'd be. You felt Jack's hand on your thigh as he squeezed it, to let you know that he was still there with you. He knew you were nervous and you were grateful he was being sweet.

"So uh, Jack tells us you're studying at UPenn, is that right?" Jim, Jack's dad's voice was friendly, trying to engage you in conversation and ease some of the tension that hung in the air.

"Yeah, it's my last year." You replied warmly as you put down your spoon.

"UPenn is really hard to get into, you must be very smart." Jim's voice sounded impressed as he spoke.

Jack looked back at you with a smile. "Yeah, she is very smart, like I told you before. She reads a lot, too."

"That doesn't mean I'm smart," you couldn't help but blush at his compliments as you heard his parents chuckle. "I read occasionally, when I have time."

"She's just being humble." Jack rolled his eyes playfully as he continued to eat, watching his parents. His eyes lingered on you warmly as you let out a laugh, his heart swelling. Jim and Ellen exchanged glances as they watched you interact.

"So, how did you two decide to start dating?" Ellen asked, her voice carrying genuine curiosity as she leaned back in her chair.

Jack grinned, his playful demeanor shifting into a more affectionate one as he looked at you. "Well, it all started after one of my games and we started talking at the bar. We just clicked. The more we got to know each other, the more it felt like we were meant to be together."

You couldn't help but smile at Jack's words, feeling a warmth spreading through you. "It was a bit unexpected, to be honest. I never thought I'd be dating a hockey player, but here I am."

Ellen let out a laugh. "That's just adorable." Her eyes were filled with admiration as she watched you two. "You make a cute couple."

Jack's hand found yours under the table, his fingers intertwining with yours as you squeezed his hand gently. Jack's grin widened at his mother's words, a proud glint in his eyes as he looked at you. "Thanks, Mom. I think so too."

thank you for reading all the way through, as always ♡

Long HC request of hot Uncle Jamie being added to the list of people allowed to pick up Theo from the mansion and then meeting Logan.

"Have a good weekend, Mr Logan!"

"You too, bub. I'll see you- who the hell are you?"

*he knows exactly who it is*

"Oh hey, James. Here to pick up the little guy, Y/N got held up at work."

"This is my uncle I was telling you about, Mr Logan!"

"The doctor, yeah. Do you have a permit to pick Theo up?"

"Well-"

"That's a no. Theo, let's go."

"I'm registered on his file, his mother wrote down I'm allowed to come get him when he was enrolled."

*cue to Theo nodding emphatically, adorably unaware of the tension brewing. Logan's jaw has been twitching since he saw the man pull up.*

"Mommy says uncle Jamie is the hero that saved me when I was in her belly and we've been family since!"

"A hero?"

"I was an intern. It was a complicated C-section-"

"And you do years long follow up with all your patients or was this one a special case?"

"It was. Though I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, don't I, Mr Logan?"

DSDGJJKL DARLIIING! 😍❤️

Oh I absolutely love this, this is such a great idea! ❤️ And the dialogue is amazing, you're so talented! 😍

First of all, James being a doctor that was there in Theo's birth and then later on making friends with Sunshine?! Aaaaaaa this is canon, this is so canon! 😍

"Do you have a permit to pick Theo up?"

"Well-"

"That's a no." LOLLLL Logan would have zero patience for him 😂

Theo nodding emphatically I can see this scene, this is adorable! 😂

"Mommy says uncle Jamie is the hero that saved me when I was in her belly and we've been family since!" And he would be so excited to tell Logan that and he would be smiling so wide!🥰

"Though I'm sure I don't have to tell you that, don't I, Mr Logan?" SHOTS FIRED 😈😏

Lolll they'd both be glaring at each other while Theo is all smiles, because he looks up to them both so muuuch❤️

Btw when Logan and Sunshine get together, Logan will insist on getting his name on Theo's file as well "to pick him up when necessary" and Sunshine will be like "Logan, you literally live there??" 😂

But Logan and Jamie will HATE each other! 😏 Logan would be glaring at him and Theo will be like,

"Uncle Jamie!"

"Yes buddy?"

"Mr. Logan has knives coming out of his hands whenever he wants!"

"Oh does he now?"

"Yes!"

"No need to be nervous doc."

"I'm not nervous. I'm in the business of fixing people rather than hurting them so maybe you're just not used to the idea, that's all."

"And he's-he's super strong too!"

"Theo bub, do you want to go with Uncle Jamie or do you want to stay a little? I heard your friends are going to play in the yard."

"Wait really!? Uncle Jamie-"

"Are you serious right now?"

"What? He loves to play with his friends, or has he not told you that?"

"I've been around since he was a baby, Mr. Logan. I think I know him better than you do. You've been around for what, couple of months?"

"Uncle Jamie, please?"

"You know what bub? Go ahead and play with your friends, uncle Jamie will wait. Won't you?"

"...Sure. I have all the time in the world buddy. And Theo, when you're done, you and me and your mom will get ice cream, how about that?"

"Yay!"

"I'd invite you too, Mr. Logan, but it's kind of a family thing and as Theo said, we are family."

[yanderepuck]

WHOOOA. SMUT AFTER LIKE A MONTH AND A HALF????? You all know why I was quiet. I was having a good time. But now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Perfect timing too bc it's close to Leonardo's birthday, didn't even plan that. You go me.

"Stay there, cara mia," Leonardo lays you down on his bed and pulls the blanket up.

You whine and try kicking the blanket off "I don't wannaaaa," you whine.

"Stay in bed or you're going to get hurt," he pushes you further into the bed. You protest about it but do nothing about it.

You start to giggle after a few seconds of silence. You're drunk. So very drunk. You quickly drank Theo and Arthur under the table. Then you and Dazai thought it would be fun to keep doing shots.

The occasion? The monthly family dinner got a little wild. You kept having a drink without realizing how much you had and when you tried to stand up you nearly toppled over.

So Leonardo picked you up and carried you to his room to keep an eye on you. Not the best room since if you do manage to get out of the bed there is nowhere to walk.

He covers you with the blanket again and pushes your hair out of your face. "Now go to sleep," he kisses you and starts to walk over to his desk.

He turns the light off, replacing it with a lamp on his desk.

"I not tired," you roll around, the room spinning even more.

"You'll fall asleep if you lay there," he starts working on something. You lay there, rolling around in his bed whining. You completely forgot about the concept of being able to get off the bed.

You fiddle with your fingers, you can barely even feel it and you giggle to yourself.

"Leonardo," you have a sing song tone to your voice.

"Yes, cara mia?" He doesn't know what to expect to come out of your mouth. You've been saying gibberish.

You giggle again. "I'm horny. Come here," you don't even bother looking in his direction. For all you know you are. You can't tell which way is which.

He sighs. "No. You're drunk."

"Come ooooon. I'm horny."

"I'm not having sex with you while you're this drunk."

"It'sss fiiine. You're my boyfriend."

"I'm not doing that, cara mia."

You huff and move around in the bed some more. You're quiet for a little bit making Leonardo think you finally fell asleep.

"Do you think skunks feel bad?"

"Wha-" he looks over at you, a very confused look on his face.

"Do they have anxiety? I have anxiety. I'd like to hold a skunk."

"I believe they get nervous easily. That is why they can-"

He doesn't even get to finish before you're onto your next thing.

"I also want to hold aaaaaaa," it's like you forgot the word and just drag your last one along.

Leonardo raises an eyebrow. "Cara mia?"

"Aaaaa SEAL. Baby seal. So cute. So fluffy. I want to be fluffy. I want to be pet."

"Please go to sleep," he turns back to his desk, officially knowing that it's going to be a long night. You don't stop talking gibberish, but you're talking to yourself for the most part.

"Hey! You're a vampire!" You say it as if you just came to the realization.

"Yes, cara mia. I am," he sounds exhausted.

"Why can't you turn into a bat? That's laaame."

Leonardo sets his things down and rubs his face with his hands, letting out a loud groan.

He turns to look at you, and for once you are actually facing his direction.

"If I fuck you, will you stop talking?"

You gasp excitedly. "Yes!"

You immediately fumble to get your clothes off. Leonardo comes over to the bed, getting his shirt off along the way.

You don't even feel him get in the bed, but you do feel him roll you onto your back.

"You're going to have to get me hard first."

"Take that cock out and put it between my tits."

You smirk up at him, a lot more straightforward then when you're sober.

"Well if you're going to say it with that much confidence," he gets fully undressed before half sitting, half hovering over your body. Putting his cock in place you then squeeze either side of your boobs, trapping his cock in the middle.

You move your boobs, essentially rubbing them against his cock. After a few times you feel him getting harder. Making eye contact with him, you lick his tip.

Hearing a moan come from him encourages you to start sucking. You squeeze your boobs tighter against him, wanting to feel how hard he's gotten.

You lick up the precum coming from his cock and finally let your boobs go. "Now fuck meee," you whine, so desperate.

It also reminds him how drunk you are. Leonardo gets off of you and gets your pants and underwear off. You quickly spread your legs for him.

"Come ooon. Fuck me hard, daddy," you whine, already rocking your hips.

"Stay still," he holds your hips, and just his touch gets you to moan. He gets between your legs and his cock slides in with no resistance, getting you both to moan. He wasn't expecting you to be so slick.

He buries himself all the way in you, holding your hips to keep you still.

"Ungh.. ahh... daddy... Fuck mee," you try moving your hips. "Fuck me hard, please!" You're already begging.

"Just let me feel you for a moment," his cock twitches and you moan. Every little movement gets a noise from you.

He spreads your legs a little more before finally thrusting into you. Your moans started off loud.

The rougher he pounded into you the more the room spun, but something about that made it feel even better.

You just wanted it harder and harder but Leonardo was still worried about hurting you.

"Ahh! M-more!"

"You have all of my cock already."

"M-more!" You moaned, arching your back.

After thinking for a moment he realized what you meant. He lets your hips go and grabs your tits, squeezing them. Your moans managed to get even louder.

Your hands are dug into the sheets, twisting and pulling at them. Leonardo leans down and kisses you roughly. You tried to kiss back but it was way too sloppy.

He frees one of his hands, grabbing your jaw to keep your head still to kiss you more all you could do was moan in his mouth as his fingers pressed against your cheeks.

As his thrusts got rougher, his tongue slid into your mouth. He could still taste the alcohol on your tongue. His other hand held onto your shoulder, helping him be able to get faster.

Your moans were starting to turn into screams. This is exactly what you wanted though. He let go of your jaw and without thinking you grab his wrist and move his hand to your neck.

He didn't think twice to hold your neck, squeezing the sides. You gasp and your body starts squirming from the overstimulation. You feel so close.

You buck your hips up then quickly dig your nails into his arm. His cock is now hitting a new spot and it's just what you need.

"J-just like- ahh!" Your voice was so airy, you had to force the words out. You shut your eyes tightly and kept your hips in that position.

Leonardo managed to push a little deeper in you and started to thrust even harder, at this point thinking of his own pleasure.

Your nails dig in more and you yell as you cum, simply making your hole even more slick, making it even easier for him to pound into you.

Feeling you tighten, he lets go of your neck, grabbing your other shoulder, holding you in place. Your toes curl and you squirm even more.

Finally after a few more moments he thrust himself deep into you, letting his cum spill out. He moans loudly, and slowly loosens his grip on you.

He sits up once you let go of his arm, you lay there motionless, your chest heaving.

"Better?" He slides out, giving you a smirk.

"Mmm, that felt sooo gooood," you practically purr.

"Good. Now that means you can sleep," he helps you get your pants back on. He only buttons two of the buttons on your shirt, not worried about the rest.

As you get comfortable again he gets his own pants on. He covers you with the blanket.

"I'll come lay with you in a moment. Go to sleep."

You hum softly, content now, even if the room is still spinning and you still feel fuzzy.

Leonardo goes back over to his desk to quickly finish what he was on and to clean up.

You're laying in bed, quiet, by the sound of your breathing it sounds like you are already asleep.

"Leonardooo."

He jumps a little. "Yes, cara mia?"

"Is the Earth alive? Like does it feel things when we dig into it? Or what about fire?"

"Cara mia.."

"Does it hurt? Can it feel-"

"Didn't you agree to stay quiet?" he groans and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?"

Leonardo just groans as you continue talking nonsense

Audhsgsusgshshsg im always a sucker for samu and I LOVE THAT KIND OF FAKE DATING SCENARIO THAT THEYRE JUST USING TERMS OF AFFECTION TO ANNOY TSUMUU AAAAAAA loved it 😚🤌🏻 chef's kiss only why is samu so boyfriend material fiancee material husband material oh my goddddd I'm a simppppp

aaaaa omg tysm for your kind words 🥺 im so relieved and grateful that fic is being enjoyed since ive been so nervous with posting HAHA

and yes, absolutely, hes all sorts of ideal partner material, because think of the goofy but endearing things he does and goes out of his way for all just for you. things that says he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you in a very osamu way euuhgthhrh now im thinking about a few things.

like him greeting you with home cooked meals and probably wearing some tacky apron that reads ‘worlds best husband’ even though you arent married yet. maybe sneaking in silly little notes on the onigiri he packs you from his restaurant. but he probably accidentally taped a recipe note instead of his actual note once, so you didn’t understand why you received a hand written message saying “5 cups of rice, 1 tablespoon of salt, 100g tuna”. but every other note ( that isnt some kind of onigiri miya secret recipe ) he writes them to make sure he can put a smile on your face without physically being where you are. even if those notes are just little doodles of food, or him telling you something dumb atsumu said, or him giving you a small detail about some customer drama he overheard that he’ll tell you more about later. and yes, he would indeed, give the absolute best massages too when you’re tense. he could, i mean, if hes kneading together rice balls all day, im pretty sure those skilled hands mean that hes great at giving shoulder massages. and if you’re splitting a meal, hed probably give you the larger half of the portion too… which i think says enough already.

yeah… i get where youre coming from, this man makes it too easy to fall for him

[stars-tonight]

hi there! just stumbled across your account :> i’d like to request for long haikyuu matchup, please! also, this is my anon emoji hehe: 🦑

main details:

firstly, i'd like a romantic pairing!

i am female (she/her) and i'd like to be paired with a guy. generally,

i prefer not to be paired with a character who's considered immature/childish (they’re better off as friends! 😭)

my ideal partner: 

the type of person that any parent would approve of immediately. like they would just ADORE him! (family is very very important to me!)

i’d also like someone creative, or at the very least appreciative of things like music, art, literature, you name it!

knowledgeable and nerdy guys are also really cute!! like YES talk to me about your interests!! also i'd like to be able to learn new things from them

would be nice if he's a foodie, or gives importance to sharing of meals together

good balance of listener and talker. overall a good communicator! <3

my personality traits:

my mbti is infp (mediator). conflict and challenge has me worrying and overthinking most of the time.

i am primarily influenced by emotional reasons/motivations (though of course, i still try to be logical).

i am introverted, but social and talkative when i'm comfortable with people. still need alone time to recharge, and by default, i am a reserved/quiet person.

overachiever, which causes me some anxiousness and stress sometimes bc of personal standards T-T (i need to be kinder to myself)

i try to be very patient and accommodating with others (but mostly it's also because i am a people-pleaser aaaaaaa)

hobbies: i’m a creative at heart! i love anything to do with:

music (listening, making playlists, playing electric guitar, producing)

arts/crafts (drawing, journaling, crocheting, graphic design)

worldbuilding (original character creation, self-inserts, writing, extensive research on franchise lore hahahaha)

love languages (giving and receiving):

words of affirmation and physical touch <3

sharing meals!

ideal date:

so hard to narrow this down tbh! i generally gravitate to the idea of casual café or home dates, because it's just chill and we could have meaningful conversations with each other.

but if we're doing something special, i would love an aquarium date! (oh my god i'm already imagining getting those cute sea creature plushies at the gift shop... WHY AM I SINGLE!!

likes:

food (if that wasn't clear enough hahaha), especially noodle dishes

colorful things! rainbowcore should give you an idea hahaha

stuffed toys and stickers. i collect so many of them oh goodness

learning about human sciences! psychology, anatomy and physiology, development, etc.

tabletop games! scrabble is my favorite hahaha

fav music is rock & kpop. generally, anything high-energy

other info:

my hogwarts house is ravenclaw

i'm a pisces (idk much about astrology though lol hahaha)

enneagram is 9w8!

hope this all helps! have a good dayyy <3

headcanons

🥛 mr. mature right here for ya

🥛 you can't tell me akaashi isn't the guy all parents want their child to date

🥛 he would totally get your mom flowers when he first meets them

🥛 he's so nervous he's shaking >_< (he's so cute, everyone needs an akaashi in their lives)

🥛 akaashi is a big literature guy and he'd definitely appreciate art of all kinds, including visual art and music

🥛 he's also very knowledgeable and i headcanon him as a little bit nerdy (especially about books)

🥛 while akaashi's not a foodie, he definitely hopes to eat meals with you and maybe even cook for you. mealtimes to him are always supposed to be spent with loved ones, as it's a time to catch up and just talk and be with each other

🥛 and he's a really good communicator :)

🥛 akaashi tends to be more logical in his thinking and decision making so you could balance out and help each other

🥛 you're both introverted overachievers which hopefully means you'd be able to relate to each other and help each other overcome these challenges

🥛 while akaashi is a generally chill guy, he is not a people pleaser and he will make sure you put yourself first!

🥛 he doesn't listen to music much because it makes it hard to focus on reading but if he ever needs inspiration he'd definitely put on some classical music

🥛 i imagine he'd be really good at arts and crafts (setting -> thin and nimble fingers -> good at precise-ness and stuff)

🥛 he'd love worldbuilding with you! he's an editor, so he's not necessarily doing the worldbuilding, but he has to be really good at it anyway. you can run characters by each other, it's always nice to have a second set of eyes on your work

🥛 akaashi is a words of affirmation guy, he's great at giving them but also needs them 🥺

🥛 i touched on the sharing meals part already but that'd also be very important to him

🥛 he's not big on pda but in private will for sure enjoy holding hands or cuddling

🥛 akaashi also definitely prefers calm or private dates; there's not as many people and it's not as loud or chaotic

🥛 he'd always keep an eye out for cute plushies or stickers and if he finds one he knows you'd like he'll get it for you! especially if he knows you've been having a rough week

runner up for you was kita shinsuke!

A/N: hi 🦑anon! i hope you liked your matchup, i had a lot of fun writing it! this was actually a really easy choice, and thank you for formatting your request so neatly (it was super visually pleasing lol)!

[explorevenus]

Hiiii! I’m kinda new here so srry if I sound nervous 😔

But AAAAAAA ALL YOUR WRITING IS SO GOOD AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR FICA AND ONE SHOTS 🙏

I wanted to now how SP Leon would act if baby (When she’s abit older) ever lashed out or yelled at darling cuz the thought alone just makes me sad for my bbg darling 💔

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WRITING AND ALSO can I pls pls with cherries on top perchance be 🪼 anon 😓

waaaahhh tysm, u are so sweet and i'm so happy u like my stuff ;n; <3333 welcome, 🪼 anon ;w;

tbh this is such a good question it makes my chest hurt STOPPPPP cus he would 100% be the "BE GOOD TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!!!!" type.....................,,,,,, i am falling into a pile on the floor sobbing and screaming and wailing AAAAAAAAAAAAA

ofc we all know sp!leon sees practically no flaws in darling and he's almost always going to ride for her (within his own weird boundaries that we're already well aware of yk) so i really do think it would just break his heart so bad to see darling feeling hurt/dejected by baby snapping at her or what have you.

even sp!leon understands that disagreeing w your parents is part of growing up sometimes, but that doesn't mean he's cool with it

i don't imagine he lets it bother him too much (outwardly at least) when baby argues/disagrees with him bc Manufactured Stoicism may as well be sp!leon's middle name atp, but if he ever witnessed baby lashing out or yelling at darling, he would shut it down quiiiiick

"excuse me, are you hearing yourself right now, young lady? you do not get to talk to your mother like that. now show some respect and apologize."

and once the sun is down, and darling and leon can crawl into bed together, he'll just let her cry on him. he'll hold her and shush her and pet her hair, and remind her as many times as she needs to hear it that she's just doing her best, and baby doesn't quite get that yet, but one day she will.

it's a position he's familiar with, after all.

[raphaelesbian]

Hi!! I love the PTS series and I just have some thoughts on the Shredder/Splinter/Raph dynamic that I wanted to discuss cuz I don't have many people to talk to about this topic :'D.

I find it interesting the idea the Shredder could see himself in Raphael due to his anger. What I find just as interesting is the idea that Raphael's anger is actually similar to Splinter and he sees himself in him (I am unable to cite anything right now but it's a theory/analysis out there. Kinda like in Lone Rat and Cubs when he whamos that Kraang bot). What i find REALLY cool is how these two ideas could coexist wherein Shredder thinks that he is looking at a reflection of himself in Raphael, but later finds out that what he sees is not himself but his brother, Splinter.

When they were young, do you think that Saki found comfort in his brother's anger? Do you think seeing his brother get angry too justified his own rage? Or did he butt heads with Splinter, and that anger stoked a burning fury between two?

When he looks at Raphael and finally recognize Splinter in him, will he feel rage towards the brother that 'betrayed' him? Or would he find comfort in the reminder of his childhood with his dear brother? They grew up together after all. He must've loved some part of him. He might miss some part of Splinter, no matter how little.

Idk if I'm sounding coherent though haha cuz I get nervous sending asks so I'm kinda just pushing through this and hoping it doesn't sound weird.

Great fic BTW it has been occupying my brain for a few weeks 👍👍

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ aaaaaaa thank you so much!!! no you're super coherent dw, thank you for the ask!!!

I 10000% agree!! I honestly can't recall if the concept has come up in any of my fics yet (maybe briefly, during Shredder and Splinter's fight in PTS?), but I am a STRONG believer that Raph and Splinter are super similar. Lone Rat and Cubs is a fantastic example, but even as far back as Turtle Temper that connection is made.

Not just that Splinter was a guy who struggled with his anger, and that he sees Raph as having the same problem, but also just how DANGEROUS Splinter sees his anger as having been. I've seen people hate on Splinter for Turtle Temper, and I kinda get it because yeah, his advice, though not bad, wasn't given in the best way. But I think the context of "Splinter sees his younger self in his son, and is terrified that he'll make the same mistakes" is important.

Plus, AGH the PHRASING. He LET Saki anger him, he MADE his words into weapons. The way he blames himself for his brother's actions.... gnawing on the drywall.

When they were young, do you think that Saki found comfort in his brother's anger? Do you think seeing his brother get angry too justified his own rage? Or did he butt heads with Splinter, and that anger stoked a burning fury between two?

Aaaaaaaaaaaa that is an EXCELLENT question!! Their relationship is really fun, specifically because we do get SO little about it other than after everything has fallen apart. So we get a lot of room to play with it!

Personally, I lean towards the first. I headcanon Yoshi as (slightly) older (I imagine that a big part of Yuuta choosing to spare Saki and take him in was because he had a similarly-aged child at home), and I also like to see them as being pretty close. Probably competitive, I'm sure they butted heads from time to time, but I prefer the interpretation that learning the truth about Saki's heritage caused a sudden shift in their relationship, rather than them being at odds the whole time. So yeah, I can totally see Saki taking some form of comfort in Yoshi losing his temper (as long as it's aimed at other people c: )

ALSO, perhaps this is a bit of the trigun brainrot in me fhdsaghakdg but. I kind of like the idea of like, not just Yoshi being angry, but Yoshi being the angry one. As in, Saki DIDN'T have much of a temper growing up. Like, the small bits we do see of their past, Yoshi is cocky and making jokes while Saki is cool and serious. And that's AFTER their family has degraded almost to its breaking point. So I can imagine Saki as being the calmer, more level-headed one as a child. Definitely still with a temper, for sure, but Yoshi was the hot-head in my mind. Then, he learns the truth, his life starts falling apart (/he starts ruining his own life. Saki, come ON, man), and who does he start emulating, whether he recognizes it or not? His brother. Just sayinggggg.... 👉 👈

Sorry this is getting SO long fhdsaghkdg. You've activated my trap card (u asked about the doomed siblings)

When he looks at Raphael and finally recognize Splinter in him, will he feel rage towards the brother that 'betrayed' him? Or would he find comfort in the reminder of his childhood with his dear brother? They grew up together after all. He must've loved some part of him. He might miss some part of Splinter, no matter how little.

I absolutely believe that they loved each other, and that they miss each other. Like I'm actually a little bit deranged over just how hard struggle with the fact they are BROTHERS. The INTENSITY of their hatred for each other as a mask... the only way they can cover up the grief is with anger and loathing... (Sorry to plug my own fics but if you haven't read blood of the covenant or brother (noun) yet, this whole concept was a lot of the inspiration lmao)

And!! OH my god, you're such a genius. Shredder obsessing so hard over identifying with Raph, only for it to click that Raph isn't him, Raph is YOSHI.... Shaking you. You're so fucking right. Like, Shredder doesn't realize it at all but so much of what drew him to Raph, what made him DESPERATE to get Raph to stay with him, is his similarity to Yoshi. he wanted his brother back, he wanted to prove to himself that it wasn't his fault, WHY DO THEY ALL KEEP LEAVING HIM—

omfgggggggg. yeah definitely tucking that concept away, don't mind me over here....

ANYWAYS!!!! Forgive the word vomit lmao but thank you SO MUCH for the ask I just spent 35 minutes typing this up instead of working FHKAGHKSADGLK. I am ALWAYS hyped to discuss these things.

Also I'm so happy you liked PTS gfhkadsglk thank you!! <3 <3

Hi! Just wanted to say that your writing is incredible in every way possible, I love it soooo much (especially Remy and Kurt, my beloved 😭)! And as a native Russian speaker I really love all those Russian nicknames that Piotr uses in your fics, they're so cute and sweet ♡

Your fics always make me happy, thank you so much for them!

AAAAAAA THANK YOU!!! I always appreciate when people send me their thoughts/complements on my fics!!!

Also, I'm glad you like the nicknames!! Writing characters that speak multiple languages can be hard. I try to stay away from full scentaces unless I have a full guide, but as for nicknames I try to pull from blog/websites that have a list of popular nicknames in that country! I always tend to be nervous bc I never know if they're actually grammatically correct/used in that way, so I'm glad you sent this in!! I feel a lot better about it now 😊
