Sensei wasn't kidding when he told tales about the New York City of old with it's diverse beauty hidden in the city's twinkling glow.

To think for the first fifteen years of his life that he lived in the ruins of this classic marvel. Unaware of it's majesty compared to the doomed world he was born into.

After shutting down the Krrangs' invasion coup, rescuing Raph from the slimy pink clutches of exterrestrial mind control, and Leo recovering from his near death experience. Things as the turtles liked to put it— "went back to normal as normal as The Big Apple could be".

Whatever that ment.

In these times of peace the ex-resistance soilder found solace in his menial lifestyle with the Hamatos when compared to the one in his previous timeline.

Not fighting for his life everyday was a definite plus for the raven-haired veteran.

No longer was his mind be plagued by the knowledge of pending Krrang assaults and inevitable carnage. Despite General Donatello's best efforts to fortify the Resistance base. Sirens that fore told destruction sounding off into the darkness still plagued the teenager's restless nights.

No more incidents and mission failures that resulted in multiple funerals in a given week. Trying to hold back saltwater spills as General Michelangelo added another drawn portrait to the wall of the fallen. Rows of those whose fates were cut short.

Gone are the daily intelligence meetings directed by the chief intelligence officer General O'Neil. Speeches typically held ending on a negative note despite her optimistic quips about pushing the pink tentacle freaks back and gaining the upper hand against these pests.

They tried. That's what mattered.

However Casey couldn't deny the jovial excitement of being in this time period.

Taking his Sensei's advice the young veteran had got to try the infamous Pizza. Rats were definitely a far cry from the greasy-delectable-gooyneess that is the New York stable and apparently could be found on almost any corner in Manhattan.

Crisp nights were spent hanging with the Mad Dog Crew. Video games, Lou Jitsu films, and bizarre mutant encounters kept things interesting. Something new always happening when he hung with the turtles.

It was strange being able to see his mentors in their youth, the crew not being too much older than himself. Their own personalities like his own were still developing, evolving into the people they'll become tomorrow.

Although some things never do change.

Especially when it came to his teacher.

°°°°

It wasn't anything new when Leo said he was gonna go out for a while.

Raph— being the protective older brother of course questioned his blue bandana wearing sibling of his destination. Even though at this point it was a cycle of deflection with the red eared slider. Raph still tried.

With his normal nonchalant attitude Leo dismissed his older sibling's worries.

"Take a chill pill Raph! I'm just going for a midnight stroll— ya' know? Nothing to get yer panties in a twist~" the adult mutant turtle shrugged off, teasing his brother as he made for the door.

" Tch! Im'a just tryin'a look out for ya' Leo! No one knows where ya' keep goin' and Im'a tryin'a respect yer space and all but, were worried for you!" The alligator snapping turtle expressed flustered by his brother's reluctance to be open.

Casey wanted to butt-in but, he didn't want to cross any unnecessary lines.

He might know the future turtles of his time but, he didn't want to push too many personal boundaries with these versions of his family.

The two stared one another down for a brief moment before the younger olive-green turtle retreated for the exit once more.

For a second, onyx colored irises looked Raph's direction as if contiplating something only to swiftly shift back towards the door way.

"It's fine Raph. I'm just patrolling and then coming back, stop the worrin' Bro." Leo reassured. His smile didn't match what his pools of ink told.

The door like the conquering thunder in springtime, boomed when it slammed closed.

For a moment the foliage colored turtle towered in the entry way.

Casey could tell from the ninja's look that Raph wanted to chase after Leo. Find out for himself what his brother sought to keep secret from the rest of the Hamatos.

Only for the tired adult snapping turtle to turn and retreat into the confines of his chambers.

An awkward pregnate silence took over the room shortly after.

Donnie left first, muttering something about a project he needed to work on.

Only for Mikey to follow offering Casey Jr. to join the youngest turtle for games if he wanted.

Acknowledging the offer, Casey remained rooted to the couch in the main room. Lost in his own thoughts swaying between future and present time.

Memories of his past, the future that will never come to fruition. Flooded into his brain.

Casey knew where Leo was going.

More specifically who the red eared slider was going to see.

(Y/n). (Y/n) (L/n).

In his time (Y/n) was a woman from Master Leonardo's past that he couldn't leave alone.

The Resistance leader lurked in the shadows of his desire, regardless if the (h/c) haired female was aware or not. Monopolizing you for his own selfish attachments. Held by a leash the blue bandana wearing turtle held short.

You were the Commander's.

Everyone in the Resistance knew—

And no one stopped it.

And those who did attempt to do so faced dire consequences. Usually ending up on a suicide run into Krrang territory.

Those who made it back rarely made the same mistake on aiding you twice. And if they did, they definitely wouldn't again.

Leo made sure of that.

Even the slider's brothers and close friend chose to ignored the obvious.

Many times Casey had tried to convince them. Pulling at his greasy raven strands in frustration at their lack of interest.

Not once did any of them step in. Never lifted a finger or spoke against their leader's wishes.

General O'Neil was too engrossed in her work to listen to Casey's "childish" worries. When bigger threats prowled the broken streets. The woman had other far more pressing matters to be consumed by.

General Donatello wouldn't even listen to the adolescent. Choosing to continue hovering over his abyss of data. Not even sparing the boy-soilder a glance. Orbs of night never straying from the ever-changing code that flew across bright illuminated screens.

Out of all them, General Michaelangelo's response was the most disturbing. The youngest of the generals sympathized with his elder brother. Actively choosing to look past your despair for the greater good of Leo's psyche and the Resistance.

For everyone—

But you.

Deep down Casey Jr. always felt like the box turtle knew what would happen if the red eared slider lost you. The elder having a knack for sensing people's emotions.

For the first three years you fought tooth and nail. Planned and replanned so many jailbreaks. Awaited your chance to disappear from Leo's grasp.

However nothing was successful. Always in the end being dragged back by the sewer's apex predator.

Casey assisted where he could with what limited resources he had at his disposal. Signing up for missions with you so that you guys may coordinate without the looming olive phantom haunting the shadows.

He tried to help you and you did too.

But he was just a kid and you were just the prey bidding it's time in the tall grass. You both were stuck in this hellish world in this false place of sanctuary.

At times without anyone asking, you'd play out the roles he needed in his life. Fluctuating between a big sister to a motherly figure depending on what you thought he needed.

Many times Casey was grateful for the support.

He felt for (y/n). That's why he did the best he could. He just wanted you to be happy.

Alas it wasn't meant to be.

By the fourth year under Leo's supervision you were defeated. Resigned to the shelled hunter who just won't leave you be.

Casey tried to spur you on. Reignite the flame that burned in your chest.

But you just couldn't do it.

Successfully the domineering leader had smothered your fire in his embrace. The coals of your soul being treated by snakes of possession that slithered into your ribs and whispers of adoration that rewrote the manuscript of your mind.

It was easier to give in than to keep hurting.

Casey couldn't watch that happen again.

He wouldn't.

The raven haired teenager already messed up the spacetime continuum with his presence.

What's a little more damage control gonna hurt?

Mind set in stone, he flipped down his hockey mask.

The faint squeak of the lair door did not go unnoticed by the other inhabiting residents as Casey disappeared into the night.

°°°°°°°°

It was a close call but, thankfully he did not miss your performance.

It twas another quite late weekday night at the aging basketball court. Squeaking shoes alongside the whoosh of the webbed hoop were the best back up singers to the beat of your ball and the panting breaths that escaped your soft looking lips. His favorite song to go with his favorite basketball ballerina.

The air was warm despite the recent onslaughts of cold fronts recently. Not that the weather would deter you from your nightly routine. Sweat ran down the curve of your (skin tone) face. (E/c) eyes trained on the basket as you alternated between point lines.

Leo sigh, the fondness for the girl below evident in his love-struck gaze. Lips posed in a goofy manner, the turtle unable to withhold the emotions flooding his system from taking control of his facial muscles.

He loved watching you play. Everytime. Since the first time he caught a glimpse of your skilled layout.

The way you maneuvered while laying up your shot was something to behold. The graceful beauty in your moves complimented the NBA performance that you gave every single time you shot the ball.

Coordinated and enchanting

It was such a perfect combination.

The hearts in his gaze followed you across the court. Dancing a Devine ballet under the fluorescent glow of the fenced in stage with leaps that would make Micheal Jordan jealous.

So enthralled in the mystical sight before him, the red eared slider almost didn't pick up on the approaching foot steps that was heading towards his direction.

Within a microsecond the mutant ninja turtle withdrew his dual swords, the clang of the steel weapons hitting the metal of Casey Jr's gauntlet woke Leo of his trained focus.

" Casey Jr? What'cha doin' here? " The dumb founded look was not missed by the teen in question . Surprise extched across the young version of his Sensei's face.

He's been caught.

"I could ask the same thing about you ." Casey retorted. Shaking the turtle's blades off his gauntlet like the leafs in autumn trees.

Teddy bear brown eyes slide down to the figure in the court. Gaze softening slightly at the sight of the new but, familiar (h/c) haired woman.

" What are you doing Leo? "

The olive-green turtle was not pleased. A thin frown sucked in his bottom lip. Young inky orbs gazed at Casey Jr. Informing the other of the dangerous game that the teenage veteran was playing.

Trying his preferred recent method of escape, the adult slider deflected.

" Pfffh! None-ya business! " The ninja scolded.

" I'm an adult and I can do things on my own. It's me who should be asking ya', what you're doin' here? " Leo pressed, turning the tables to chastise the raven haired teen instead.

Casey wasn't impressed. So far during his time here it was nothing new when it came to the younger version of his master.

Taking the silence as his immediate answer, the blue bandana wearing turtle began to continue telling off the apocalyptic born teenager.

" Got nothin' to say? Great! Why don'tch'a run back to the lair like a good little boy and—"

" I know why you're here Leo and who for. "

Casey's interjection immediately shut up the blabbering olive-green turtle. His comment gaining the young mutant's undivided attention.

"What do you mean Casey?"

"Yeah whatcha' mean Casey?"

Leo swore he was going to throw himself right off this ledge.

From the shadows, the owner of the gruff voice emerged with two figures that backed up his lumbering stature.

There stood a definitely not happy Raph. Arms crossed his chipped plastron in obvious display of his displeasure with the scene. Brows furrowed at the two in front of him. Carrying the aura of a displeased mother ready to whip out the chancla.

Behind the alligator snapping turtle's left was a Donatello who was obviously here to capture Raph beating Leo's ass. Cause what else are brothers for?

Then to the irked elder brother's right was Mikey. Trying to get a comprehension of the situation the trio just walked into. Not wanting the end result to be just straight up violence without trying to resolve with talking first.

Casey did not expect this.

Before future boy even got the chance to speak, Leo rushed to answer the question. A dark blush erupting across his olive cheeks dusting them in a pinkish hue.

"It's nothing! Absolutely nothing! I think I am ready to head back now— " Leo rabbled trying to push the his brothers away from the scene just down below.

"Whatcha' hiding Leo?!" Raph roared. Pushing past his brother to walk towards the edge. Only to get the answer to his question.

Just not in the way he thought.

"Hello? Is someone up there?"

The blue bandana wearing turtle really hated his luck tonight.

For a solid few minutes no one moved or made a sound.

Leo would have to throttle them if they did.

It wasn't until the beating of your ball returned to fill the empty void is when the gang took it as the coast was clear.

Sighs of relief left all five of them as they took a moment to reassess the situation.

Not even a second later the three other color coded turtle brothers threw themselves at the ledge to see who had called to them.

Down below, a cute (h/c) haired girl dribbling a basketball across the faded court. Laying out shots and moves that would school them in less than five seconds.

Mischievous knowing grins stretched across the three brothers green complexions as they turned to look back at their brother.

" Don't you do it." Leo warned. Onyx eyes glaring at his brothers who were ready to explode from the sight.

And of course it was Michaelangelo who did first.

" Leeeooooo hass aaaaww cruuuussshhh!" Mikey squealed. Warm grey eyes brightening at the reveal. Shuffling closer to his brother with a dorky face.

"It all makes sense now why ya' didn't want anyone ta' know!" Raph laughed. His scowl quickly replaced with a shit-eating grin.

"Oh Leon, don't you know that we would've found out eventually?" Donnie mused. Making sure to use one of his pairs of robotic arms to get a pic of his blue bandana wearing brother's flustered expression.

They were all laughing. Well except Leo and Casey Jr.

"Okay, okay! Can you guys please leave now!" The adult slider begged, using his force to push his brothers further away from the court below where his ballerina was.

The ex-resistance soldier was at a loss for words. One moment the threat of a showdown with his master's younger self. The next, was a dog pile of fluff that could rival the amount of cavities you'd get from eating a whole store of nothing but candy.

"Come on Casey Jr! Let's leave Leon to gawk at his cwwrruusshh!~" Mikey gushed. Throwing a moss green arm around the younger raven-haired boy's shoulder.

Casey shrugged off the youngest brother's arm. Before replying with a grin of his own. "Okay Mikey, I'll catch up with you guys in a few."

Giving the doomsday boy the thumbs up the other three turtles siblings ran off ahead. Making sure to continue teasing their blue bandana brother with kissy noises as they departed.

They were assholes. But Leo loved them.

" So, what's up future-boy?" the red eared slider quipped. Raising an unamused brow to the fifteen year old ex-soldier.

"(Y/n). Stay away from her." Casey warned.

Anger burned within those inky abyss of the mutant's glare sparked by the teenager's response. His grip on his fore arm tightened and his lip grew tight with displeasure.

"Yeeeaaahhh— no. I don't think I will" Leo responded. Eyes sharp like the sheathed blades the turtle carried. The hockey masked teen returned the same look.

"You see sénõr— I'm in love with the sénõritá of my dreams" the blue bandana ninja stated. "It's a fact that the hero always gets the girl." He continued. "Every Lou Jitsu movie proves so and I the awesome handsome hero will win the heart of the girl. And —"

"How when you never talk to her?" Casey asked simply.

Onyx irises widen slightly. " Whatcha' mean? I might've not worked up the mojo yet but—"

"Leo, in my timeline you never spoke to (Y/n). Not until after the Krrang invasion." The veteran spoke. A shadow forecast his gaze the mask helping to aid in hiding his expression.

" You became leader of the Resistance and worked hard for many years. Too hard. I guess it hurt you so much that when you saw her again you couldn't risk losing her. Not again. "

" You didn't hurt her physically but, mentally. She wasn't the girl that is down in that court right now. " Casey admitted. His pitch voiced the despair he could still remember clearly in your (e/c) eyes.

Leonardo listened carefully. His expression serious versus his iconic clownish behavior.

The look reminded Casey of his Sensei. The years washed over the young ninja in a matter of seconds revealed by the receding tide.

"What I am saying is I'm watching you." The teenager sighed looking too old to be fifteen and too young to have served in a war.

Don't make me regret not doing anything now" Warned the boy-soilder. " I will tell your brothers of your problems if you don't fix them now."

A solemn look haunted the turtle's expression.

" Just treat her right " the raven hair veteran chirped. Gifting the adult red eared slider a reassuring grin and a pat to his shell.

" I will. " Leo confirmed.

"That's the spirit. Look I better scram I sure Mikey is won—"

Speaking of the box turtle, the cell in the future boy's pocket suddenly went off. The phone screen brighting up with the name of the person trying to contact him. Tiny speakers blaring the Lou Jitsu game theme song.

"Welp that's gotta be Mikey." Casey chuckled, swiping the phone out his pocket only to pause. Thumb hovering over the answer button.

" Just... remember I will protect her from you if I have too. " Casey reiterated. The neon green dots of his mask making his point clear even if his words didn't.

" Aye, aye Captain~" Leo confirmed giving the ex-resistance soldier a faux solute.

With a shake of his head the teen lifted his gauntlet to the neighboring structure. "See you later Leon"

"Right back at you Spiderman"

"Who?"

"Oh God no. Ask Donnie he can help you."

"O-kaaay.... see you."

"Adios amigo!"

With click spur of gears a burst of steam sent the graveling hook and Casey Jr flying through the illuminated metropolis back towards the lair. Regrouping with the rest of the Hamato clan.

Now that the mutant looney tunes was over, the blue bandana turtle could go back to enjoy his muse.

With an eager anticipation in his bones the turtle turned back to the aged court only to find that you were wrapping up for the night. Your usual (2f/c) towel in hand as you shrug on your (f/c) sports jacket. The sweat from your workout must've been turning cold.

Leonardo knows that he made a deal with Casey Jr but, it was hard not to follow the basketball ballerina home.

He'll just make sure she gets there safe.

Don't want another mutant rooster coming for the (e/c) eyed woman.

Next thing Leo knew he was back in his favorite camping spot, perched in the fire escape as he watched you unwind while watching your Lou Jitsu movies. Slurping down the top ramen that you ate religiously.

And like clock work you were out.

The blue color coded turtle knew he shouldn't.

Especially because of his deal with Casey Jr but, for Gram-Gram sake! This was his chance.

The night was young enough that the morning dawn wouldn't rise for a while. He had some wiggle room with this.

The quiet chatter from the television masked the faint creaky slide of the dingy window being opened.

The mutant turtle slithered into the sparse apartment. Finding the lack of personality to the place.

Was she possibly like April and spent all her money on school?

Upon inspection darks orbs found stacks of college books on the counter. Spines of the bemoths had topics about physics, engineering and mechanics.

She'd probably have a blast chatting with Donnie about his nerd stuff.

Somehow the thought turned the olive-green turtles gut but, didn't read too much into it.

Standing in the small space, Leo found himself already looming over most of your sparse belongings. Finding himself snickering or chuckling as he walked around the studio.

What you did have besides your surplus of top ramen bursting out of your little pantry in the area he assumed was supposed to be a little dollar-store kitchenette you assembled.

Stacked to the side of the crooked entertainment center in half-assed stack was an assortment of retro game cartridges, similar to the one Mikey retrieved from that merchant he went to for his Lou Jitsu game.

On the coffee table second-hand Jupiter Jim comics were splayed out amongst other papers. He assumes homework based on the frustrated mathematical problems written, scratched out, revised and rewritten again.

He hadn't meant to but, his wandering gaze made itself back to you. Somehow it always does. May the red eared slider be be awake or in his dreams.

He always found his way back.

Even when he doesn't mean to.

Subconsciously Leo apologized to Casey Jr for his dishonorable actions and how he was about to further break his promise.

Gulping down the saliva that pooled in his mouth. His left hand carefully caressed your soft (skin tone) skin a little grimy leftover from your show but, still just as lovely as the lashes that hid tired (e/c) orbs from his direct sight.

His thumb traced your cheek down the slope of your jaw before skimming back towards the soft plump object his dark gaze kept getting drawn back too.

He really couldn't help himself.

He was disgusting but, he couldn't deny the monkey that rattled in the ribs that caged it.

He really does love you.

Leaning forward the turtle pressed his lips on his thumbs target. Successfully devouring your mouth. His three digit hand came to hold your chin keeping your face in place so he may taste more.

Pulling away the grown mutant was basically a glowing red light bulb with how hot his face was.

He did it. He got his kiss but, the animal part of his brain wouldn't calm down.

It wouldn't accept just this one stolen kiss.

He had to have you. You were a drug like no other. Better than any endorphins he ever received from beating his brothers at their various competitions to having the last glorious slice of the pepperoni pie.

This was sooo much better.

Sorry Casey Jr but, I just can't stay away from her...

For a moment Leo really thought he could walk away.

Just admire from a distance.

Look, don't touch.

Allow (Y/n) to just live her life like the woman she was becoming. Just be happy for her.

But Leo was selfish. He knows this.

That's why he's gonna have to meet her. Somehow, someway. He needed to be closer.

These nighttime ballets can only sustain the zoo in his chest for so long.

With a sigh of content the adult slider petted the side of your sleeping face. Looming over you the turtle knew he couldn't leave until he stole one more sinful taste. Cradling the back of your head, threading strands of (h/c) with his large free hand.

He just needed it to last as long as possible. Just until next time.

Reluctantly the turtle left. Disappearing like the whisps of the departed without a sound.

The window sealed shut behind the vanishing olive ghost.

°°°°°°

Upon arriving back at the lair Leo found there wasn't a soul left in the main room as he crept through the sleeping base and into his bedroom.

The red eared turtle was about to retire to the land of dreams when he received a light knock on his door. A moment of silence before an adolescent voice broke through the thin barrier

"Leo? May I come in?"

Shit. It was Casey Jr.

"Sure bud. Me casa tu casa~" the tired ninja yawned. Dark eyes examining the teen who entered, shutting the door behind him as he passed through.

"What's up Casey 2.0?" The mutant inquired. Raised frow to join in his questioning look.

Leo knew why he was here.

The ex-resistance soldier sighed. No longer hidden behind his hockey mask. Eyes like Raph's teddy bears pierced through his mutated being.

"How was your patrol? You got back pretty late." Casey sneered. The disappointment was evident on the teens face. Lip tucked downwards.

He knew.

Leo was sure of it.

"It was fine. (Y/n)'s practice took for eeevvverr! And I thought women were supposed to take twenty million years on their hair not their game!" Leo humored.

"Ha." Casey mocked.

Despite it being the blue color coded turtle's chambers. An uncomfortable spill of stagnant silence over took the room. Air sapped up by rising waters.

He was giving Leo a chance to confess. Be honest now.

But, the veteran already knew what the red eared slider would choose. The ninja was his Commander for fifteen years of his life after all.

"Welp Casey Jr, if you don't need anything else. Some of us need our beauty sleep~" Leo ushered.

Casey took the hint.

"Goodnight Casey."

"Goodnight Leonardo."

The raven haired teen didn't bother making a show out of his departure back to his own quarters. Knowing that their conversation was a good enough indication of trust in their future relationship.

There will be none.

Casey scoffed as he laid back into his bed roll that Splinter lent him.

Fucking Leonardo. It didn't matter if it was the past, present, alternative future that red eared slider mutant mother fucker was always the same.

Spacetime continuum his ass.

Some things just never changed.

Technically I finished last night before bed but, I wanted to proof read one more time before posting.

Catch you guys on the flip side~

[wingstobetorn]

@nosleep83 @theheavilycaffeinated4 okay, so

we have April O'Neil, an aspiring teenage journalist by day, a self-proclaimed paranormal investigator by night.

despite being a paranormal investigator, she's never actually encountered anything paranormal. that is, until she meets Leonardo, a mutant that's wary of humans, and strikes up a deal with him. if he can help her with her paranormal research, she can help him get accepted by society. when she meets his brothers, that's four mutant turtles (plus a rat) to help get accepted into society.

troubles arise when Baxter Stockman takes note of mutant vigilantes lurking in the night.

Turtle interpretations under the cut (im still thinking of stuff but this is just a basic idea of what they're like)

Leonardo is the most mature of his brothers and the self-proclaimed leader. he is initially against going into the human world, that is, until he meets the strange April O'Neil, and takes her hand as she guides him around the human world.

despite wanting to be serious and ruthless as a leader (because of tv shows he's watched), Leonardo is generally a kind-hearted person who sometimes gets manipulated a little too easily, due to his belief that everybody has good in them. he tries his best as a leader (and big brother) to be encouraging, heroic and selfless, to a point where he forgets to look out for himself.

Raphael is the most emotional of his brothers, but often comes off as the aggressive one. he acts first, thinks never, and strongly dislikes being told what to do; because of this, he resents Leonardo's leadership and just wants to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

he's loyal to his team and would never choose anyone over them, no matter what. despite being against Leo's leadership, Raph doesn't know what he would do without him, without any of them. he can be surprisingly perceptive and looks out for his brothers so much more than they ever notice, often taking note of the things they like and the things they don't.

Donatello is the brains of the group. he's... like the typical mad genius scientist character, just a step away from resurrecting a dead body and calling it Donatellos Monster, and also a small step sway from straight up murdering a man.

he's arguably the most helpful member of the team because of his machines. although his tech is helpful, sometimes he can get a bit too ambitious and end up creating evil lair-destroying bots that end up venturing into the city and destroying everything in sight and ultimately putting them a step away from being accepted by humans. if anyone asks, no, he is not the reason Baxter Stockman ended up finding out they existed.

Michelangelo is the class clown of the team, who never takes anything seriously unless he really has to. he's like Raph, who wants to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants!

he's fun, positive and just as skilled as his brothers, if not even more, but his tendency to goof off often makes him mess up on missions. he's often underestimated because of this, even by his own brothers, but he's not dumb or lesser than them. he's just... a bit different. he's passionate like Raph, intelligent like Donnie (just not in the same way), and kind-hearted and forgetting to look out for himself like Leo.

Mikey doesn't like being serious often, but wouldn't it be a shame if he was forced into a serious role, resulting in him becoming a shell of his former self? Lol

I also really want Donnie to parallel Baxter and for Leo to parallel Shredder in some way because villain hero parallels make me go insane.

[nights-legacy]

That’s Not Funny- Mikey 2007

+ Everyone knows that Michelangelo loves to prank people. It doesn’t matter who they are, if he can prank them he will. There are the times however that he takes the prank to far. He does this one day with Y/N and causes her to become terrified before leaving the lair entirely. Mikey has no clue what to do to make it up to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mikey’s POV

Everyone was focused on the TV but me and I was bored out of my mind. It was movie night and I was not enjoying the movie of choice. I huffed and got shushed by Raph and Leo combined. I heard Y/N giggle next to me and it brought a small smile to my face. That’s when a thought came to mind. I grinned before hopping up and darting for my room.

“Mikey? Where are you going?” Y/N called after me.

“Nowhere, just going to get something.” I yelled back while getting grumbles from my brothers. I searched through my room, looking for one thing in particular. I finally found it at the bottom of a box. “Prank time!” I cheered before sneaking back out into the main room.

Y/N’s POV

Mikey had been gone for a bit and the rest were completely focused on the TV. Mikey’s behavior kind of put me on edge. He normally is the one that’s completely into movie night but he was as distracted a cat on catnip. I felt something brush my shoulder and I swatted at whatever it was. It was only on the third time did I look back to see what it was.

“Ahhh!!” I screamed launching off the couch. A snake was sitting on the back of the couch right behind me. I felt someone catch me after I unceremoniously flung myself. I turned to a see Raph and clung to him.

“Y/N! What’s wrong?” He asked almost in a panic. I pointed at to where I was sitting. Leo got up and walked over to the snake. I turned burying my head in Raph’s shoulder. I felt him reach up and hold the back of my head, trying to calm my shaking form.

“Mikey!” I heard Leo yell.

“It’s a fake snake, Y/N. You’re okay.” Raph said softly. I slowly looked out again to see the limp snake in Leo’s hand. All of a sudden, we heard laughing through out the lair.

“Mikey! Seriously?” Leo held out the snake.

“Oh come on! That was a good one!” He held his stomach as he laughed more. I started to get up with Raph’s help. I grabbed the toy from Leo’s hand and walked around the couch. I ball up the rubber and chucked the snake as hard as I could at Mikey.

“That’s not funny!” I screamed at the top of lungs before grabbing my bag and running out, tears running down my face.

Mikey’s POV

I immediately stopped laughing after she threw the snake at me and run off. I watched her leave as a guilty feeling clawed it’s way through my body. I went silent for a few seconds before I heard Raph yell at me from behind.

“What the hell, Mikey?” I turned and saw all three of them glaring at me with question in their eyes. “Care to share why you scared our friend nearly to death? I mean she was shaking like a leaf in my arms over you dumb toy.”

“It was just a prank.” I said softly.

“A prank that went wrong.” Leo crossed his arms. “You didn’t even think for one minute that that could have been a bad idea.”

“She has ophidiophobia, Mikey.” Donnie said. I gave him a confused look. “An extreme fear of snakes. She told us about it a long time ago, Mike.” He said with exasperation.

“Which you didn’t have the brain to remember.” Raph grumbled before sitting with his back to me. I looked down in shame. I glanced at the toy snake and sniffled. A set of feet came into my line of vision. I looked up to see Leo.

“You got to go make sure she is okay and make it up to her.” He set his hand on my shoulder. “I know you didn’t mean any harm but you do need to take the responsibility.” I nodded before he walked away.

“Go get her nun chucks.” I heard Raph encourage. I smiled a little before grabbing the snake on the floor and throwing it away as I ran out of the lair.

*Time Skip*

I have been pacing the roof her apartment for at least 30 minutes trying to think of way to make it up to her. I sighed as I sat on the ground. It was hopeless, she is going to hate me forever.

“Michelangelo.” I shot up as I heard Master Splinter’s voice.

“Yes Sensei?” I asked. I looked up at him. He was not glaring but had a look of understanding.

“You have made a mistake.” He said out right. I nodded. “But not one that cannot be remedied. You can fix this, Michelangelo.”

“I can? But how?”

“Sometimes, the best to earn forgiveness and make it up to someone is with a simple apology.” He said before giving me a smile and disappearing into the night.

“I can do that.” I said before jumping down to the fire escape. I jumped over the edge and caught onto the railing of her level. I quietly went up to her window. I looked inside and saw her sitting on her bed hugging her pillow. My heart ached at the sight. I gently knocked on the glass and she looked up. When she saw me, she glared and turned away from me. I took a big breath.

Y/N’s POV

“Y/N?” I heard Mikey call out. I ignored him. “Y/N, I know your mad at me and have every right to be. I just wanted to make sure you are okay. I shouldn’t have done that and I definitely should have remembered that you were scared of snakes.” I rolled my eyes before getting up.

“Damn right.” I made my way to my door to leave the room.

“Wait Y/N! Please.” I stopped with my hand on the door knob at the shake in his voice. I didn’t turned around but didn’t move to leave again. “I am so sorry.” His voice cracked. I whipped around and saw him holding his head in his hands. “I’m sorry and you have every right to hate me for being a bad friend.” I didn’t move for a minute. It was only when Mikey got up to leave that I darted.

“Mikey wait!” I un hooked the latch on my double door windows. He looked down at me. “I could never hate you Mikey. I can be mad at you but never hate.” I smiled. I could see some of the tension in his shoulders release. I grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. “It’s hard to even stay mad at you.”

“Not for Raph and Leo.” He said under his breath.

“Their your brothers. They have the entitlement.” I said and he chuckled. “Plus Raph isn’t always that bad.”

“Only with you! He’s a natural grump with everyone but you and April. You have him all mellow and what not.” I laughed at it and he joined me. “But seriously, I am very sorry Y/N. I should’ve remembered.”

“It’s okay Mikey. I know your mind runs a million miles a minute, so things get lost sometimes. Just don’t do it again. Please.”

“Oh don’t worry. Mr. slithering heathen of evil and hiss is gone forever.” He said while jumping up and dancing around. His foot caught on my comforter and fell. I burst up laughing. He laughed to but just sat on the floor. “Soooo…Speaking of the red clad turtle. You two seemed awfully cozy.”

“Mikey!” I yelled as I threw a pillow projectile at his head.

Lil’ fanfic for Leah ( @teetlebros ) because she’s cute, really invested in the TMNT fandom and that it’s easy to write about someone who has the same fav boi as me :’) Hope you like it. >3<

Happens in the 2k7 universe one year after the movie or something. Y’all ready for some ANGST ??? Cuz I love writing DRAMA. 👏

Part one of two! Part two incoming next week !

~ ~ ~

She wasn’t sure if the dewy drops on her face were sweat, rain, tears, or a mix of the three. Unable to comprehend how she felt, her usual jogging session had quickly switched into careless running in the heavy rain, not knowing where she was heading. It’s not like the destination mattered anyway. She just wanted to run, to escape into another reality; if that was even slightly possible.

Leah wasn’t used to feeling like this. She was really pissed off, and guilt was also part of this strange state of mind. Everything happened so quickly. The young woman remembered seeing a quite usual quarrel between Leonardo and Raphael, and then, everything became... weird. Words that weren’t meant to be heard got out of her mouth, and now, she wanted to stay silent for the rest of her life.

~ ~ ~

Leah had a pretty rough day at school. She felt as if she didn’t do well in her exam despite the hours spent studying, she didn’t ate much, and on top of it, her basketball team lost by a close one. Even if she knew that her team losing the game didn’t depend entirely on her, she felt somehow responsible, like she could’ve played better. At least, she was supposed to hang out with the turtles tonight. That would sure give her a break; make her feel better after all of this. She had planned to watch a movie with Leonardo, the one and only being that could make her heart beat go so fast. After two years of knowing this strange family, -due to a series of unexpected events that included a random thief in the street- Leah still couldn’t believe the many new things that were happening in her life. She never thought she would meet mutant turtles; she never thought they would become like a second family to her; never thought about the possibility that they would treat her like one of their own family members; never thought that she could fall for a non-human...

It’s not like her relationship with Leo was clearly defined as “interested in each other”, but she had secret hopes that would be the case for the past 10 months. The situation was too confusing to be talked about anyway. Realizing her feelings towards him were more than friendship already took a while to determine. Falling in love with someone... different... unfortunately didn’t come with instructions. Leah thought it would be too weird to tell him, knowing his rigidity and his rather conservative view on some subjects. He was quite secretive himself, and it’s not like inter-species relationships were a casual subject they’d talk about out of nowhere. She knew she had to wait before trying something. She kept those feelings bottled up, seeing him almost three times a week. Some moments between them made her feel like he could, just maybe, feel the same way towards her. Although, that was a risk she wasn’t ready to take for now.

Tonight, when Leah opened the security door of the lair, she saw Mikey playing video games with his headphones. He didn’t even noticed her presence. She figured that Donnie was in his lab, plus she could hear Raph and Leo arguing in the dojo. So far, that was nothing new. Although, when she approached their training grounds, she heard a loud thud and saw Raph fall on his back. Visibly, he had just been pushed by Leonardo. His older brother even put one of his feet on his torso, as if pinning him to the ground wasn’t cocky enough.

“Sheesh Leo!”Raph screamed. “I can’t believe you’re blaming me for this.”

Raph sighed loudly, trying to get his air back. He looked so done he physically abandoned the will to get back on his feet.

“I thought the Night Watcher was gone, Raph! Now, a random photographer sees you, publish this picture and it’s everywhere!”

Leo threw his swords on the ground before doing something he would regret. He seemed to apply more pressure on his brother’s chest with his foot. Leah had never seen him mad like this.

“Y’a think I’m that dumb!? C’mon Leo, nobody knows I’m a giant turtle or anything!”

He heavily sighed in response before adding : “Plus, senseï won’t notice this since he wanted to spend time at April’s cottage.”

That seemed to infuriate Leonardo even more.

“It’s not because Splinter is not there that it’s ok to act like a fool! Do you realize the danger you could’ve put our family in? Again, what the shell were you thinking!?”

Raph violently pushed Leo’s foot off of him, then started to get back up.

“You- you weren’t there Leo! Casey called me because he thought he needed backup. Besides, I’m gon’ tell ya exactly what you told me!”

He pointed towards Leo.

“Like you said, big bro; It’s not because Splinter is not here that it’s ok to act like a fool. You’re NOT him, you’ll NEVER be! So stop harassing me with your dictatorship and your rules.”

“My dict-“ Leo scoffed loudly. “Oh wow, that’s grand!”

Albeit her efforts to stay subtle, Leah suddenly lost her balance and accidentally opened the shoji door, making them both look at her.

“Oh... hi guys. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interr-“

“It’s ok Leah, we were done here” said Raph while angrily wiping sweat of his face.”

“No we weren’t,” Leo argued, grabbing his brother’s wrist. “I demand you stop going out as the Night Watcher, like you promised a year ago!”

“Demand!?” Raph immediately repeated. “Gosh, Leo, do you hear yourself? I hate you when you do this! How old do you think I am!? You should go back to your lost jungle if you hate seeing me being myself so much!”

Leah felt irked, frantic even. She didn’t had a good day, her morales were low and she couldn’t make any sense of what was happening right now. Raphael always used harsh words, but that time, it stroke a chord for her. She knew how much Leonardo wanted to be the responsible one, how much weight he had on his shoulders for being the leader. She also knew him well enough to know that -even if he had an amazing wisdom- Leo could feel bad about himself to the point where he really would go back in Central America out of this sense of failure that was always inside of him.

“Enough, you two!” She screamed out of her lungs.

Donnie peeked out of his lab immediately, followed by Mikey who put his game on pause. If only she had known that before saying the rest.

“Leo, stop being so harsh with him! And... and you, Raph ... gosh, please stop being so hurtful with Leo! Sometimes, I wonder if I love him more than you do!”

Raphael and Leonardo stopped moving immediately, turning their faces towards her. Leo slowly released his grip on his brother while a small gasp escaped his mouth. Leah’s face became instantly red, not knowing why this bottled up emotion has been so easy to keep from him until this dumb situation. It didn’t took long for her to turn around, pick up her backpack and swiftly run for the exit. Donnie’s eyes were widened to the max, and Mikey was showing a strange expression that seemed like pity had mixed with tenderness.

[3rd Person Meme] MikeyYvonne ❝  see,  i woulda left it alone.  but you made them fucking cry.  so now you’re gonna lose your eyes.  ❞

| JEALOUS, FIERCLY PROTECTIVE & TERRITORIAL PROMPTS

Mikey was currently framing out the blank brick wall he came across. Tounge poking out from the side of hi mouth as he was eyeing it over. Oh so many ideas were running through his head right now! He never came across this much space available! There was tons of graffiti all over the city and yeah he just liked to add in a touch here or there but this! THIS WAS MASSIVE SPACE Likely to get some dumb tag or cruse words or worse a ver rude comment about this area of the community. Lowering his hands now as he crossed his arms and shook his head at the mere thought alone. Why go and mess up such space with something so trival and mean when you could! Make the coolest mural ever for the whole city to see! Well least anyone who would be out and about near this dumpy old park.

looking over his shoulder as he slightly quirked his beak humming in thought a moment. From how things wear clearly falling apart it was pretty obvious it didn't get used much. Shrugging his shoulders it benefited them sure since it where they often came for games of basketball. Attention drifting from there to his brothers and Yvoone his brothers busy playing at the moment yvoone seemed to maybe be busy in her sketch book. But seemed to take notice of where he was as he waved at her then went back to looking at his older brothers, when the little spark of an idea suddenly came to mind!

Right to work as he went about making his master piece! How else to better represent this area this a good old Mad Dogs Mural, heavily and he dose mean heavily influenced by the Lou Jutsu one his dad showed him back in the hidden city. It was the perfect influence just him and his bros posing fighting off some of the mutants and such they had to deal with time to time. Putting Leo in the classic fighting position up front, Having Raph going into big red more, as they had started to call it off in the back. He had Donnie off to the side posing with that awesome drill he made. Of course he was in there swing around and fighting with them too. Writing out the Mad Dogs on the bottom big and proudly making use of all their signature colors. Once Mikey had a good clear idea in mind he was able to work it out fast. Plus gave him a chance to pretty much make the fall burst into an array of colors! Though Mikey's worry about someone else coming for this spot did end up being a valid worry. When a voice speaking up had stopped him in the middle of his work.

He wasn't worried just some wanna be's trucking up the the little turtle as he was sat on the ground working away on the "Mad Dogs" bit. The leader in front, least he took them to be with how the other two humans with followed right behind him. Was eyeing the wall Mikey had fully taken up with his work. Moving up from his spot to take a break because he could just tell these three were trouble. Not that he was worried, Nah. Mikey could handle them all on his own, he still offered a wide grin their way just talking to them no reason to go hostile at the start. Chances were they just wanted the wall but Mikey took it all so it shouldn't be hard to----

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" He suddenly yelled out when watching one of the followers, starting to color over a portion of Raph the bit that was his mystic shielding power that was the hardest part for him to get right!! "Do you have any idea how long that took me!" truth be told Mikey wasn't sure he knew it had to be a good while cause it was dark enough for the lights to be buzzing as they tried to turn on. Gritting his teeth a little as he could feel that ever need to snap coming. No no, he breathed a moment as he turn on his heels willing to give a bit more chance to just sort this out in a civil manner, as the guy in front lifted their leg and gave a good aimed kick to Mikey's stomachache. Unprepared for anything physical it did knock him over to land in the dirt. Didn't hurt but it was low key embarrassing to be so easily tip back like that. Sometimes he wished he was as huge as Raph.

But Yvoone walked on over likely overhearing everything that had just been going on. Hands on her hips, yeah it was easy to see why she and Raph fit together so well. Yvoone didn't stand for stuff like this and was quick to stand up much like Raph would be doing if he had noticed what was going on...Mikey was glad Raph hadn't noticed yet. Any of his brothers really and yeah he could feel appropriative but he also hated Yvoone having noticed as well. Some stigmas about being the youngest he was annoyed with time to time. Of course he heard about having Yvoone stepping in for him and such. Not like he needed it he could handle this on his own.

Nit listening as Yvoone was speaking in the moment brown eyes looking off to his mural when he heard some 'hissings' sounds only to find they were messing it up more! Blacking it out fully! Eyes widen as he was watching all his work so far going to waste stunned and frozen as his brothers were being cover over with the black paint. Slowly his vision was starting to blur over he wasn't sure why this hurt so much but...

"Stop it! Leave them alone or I'm laying down the smack!" He shouted out trying grabbing on to one of their arms trying to save the last bit of Leo that was still there. He managed to get the paint can away from them and tossed off far as he could. He been angry before but right now? He was heavily breathing looking at his ruined work. Hands settingly on the brick wall, it was stupid he could just fix it but. Tears slowly stream out the corners of his eyed.

❝  see,  i woulda left it alone.  but you made them fucking cry.  so now you’re gonna lose your eyes.  ❞

Mikey manged to look over his shoulder to watch then freak out at the sight of four arms before the scrambled to run away. Guess it was enough to scare them off. Mikey let a firm pout tug on his beak as he manged to tear away from his ruined work and make way to cling to one of Yvoones arms. Pressing his face into her arm as he sniffles a little. "They ruined! I wanted to surpise them now what do I do?" Mikey asked sure maybe he could just paint over it but..it would ne the same. He just sighs ready to admit defeat. "Thanks...please don't tell Raph and the others though. I'll just..try again." He suggests. Mulling over ideas in his mind as he looks up at her a second. Another idea hitting him. Night tugging on her arm out of excitement "wait stand still! I got an idea for a new piece!." Spary paints picked up now. "A nice tribute to the mean scary butterfly that sent three dick heads running like you were gonna take thier life's! Or least add ya in can't be forgetting my big sis after she protected me."

Least he manged to bounce back with that Burts of inspiration.

Fandom: TMNT Characters: Raphael x Human!Reader TW: Slut Shaming 

Jealousy

You have known the Turtles for about a year now, Raphael saved you from goons and a very tall building all those months ago. You were always close to Leo and Raph, one teaching you self-defense the other being a spar partner and the one that keeps your fire cracker attitude calm (shocker right?). Mikey was like your little brother and Donnie was like your big brother.

The day started out normally, you and Leo where in the dojo practicing your self-defense, laughing when you tripped him and he tripped you right on top of him. You didn’t see Raph watching from the dojo door. He was mumbling to himself angrily. “Raph, what are you doing?” Donnie asked, walking next to his brother. He spotted where Raph was watching. “Raph if you like her, tell her.”

“What ya gettin’ at Don?” He asked giving a look to his brother. “I don’t like [y/n].” He growled, Donnie would have rolled his eyes if Raph wasn’t so close to hit him. Donnie knew how you felt, you thought Raph and Casey had a thing going on (which Donnie found hilarious) and Leo didn’t make you feel so alone but you didn’t like like Leo. Raph turned to see Leo holding you close, you were blushing but only because you felt nervous. You didn’t want to hurt Leo’s feelings.

“Good thing you don’t like her,” Mikey said passing by his brothers with pop corn. Donnie on the other hand felt bad, plus, he saw how uncomfortable you where being.

“Hey guys,” Donnie called, putting attention on him and Raph at the door. You quickly removed yourself from Leo’s arms, silently thanking Donnie for the save. “We’re watching the new X-Men movie, you up for it?” Leo went to decline but you quickly agreed and practically ran to the couch.

Raph and Leo both watched you, thinking the same thing. They moved, each taking a side of you before Donnie could save you again. Leo put an arm on the back of the couch, close enough to put around you and it was like something snapped in Raph. He got up and went to his room, you could hear muffled yelling as he hit his punching bag. “Raph?” You said softly and got up, walking after him before Leo could say anything.

You walked in on Raph, he was angry. Mumbling to himself, “You okay?” He stopped and turned to you.

“No! I am not fucking okay [y/n]!” He ran his hand over the top of his head. “Look, you into Leo thats fine. Just don’t make me bare witness to it. You’re a fucking slut for flirting with both of us!” Before he and you knew it you walked over and slapped him. He realized what he said. “I didn’t mean that. I was just mad.” He said apologetically, rubbing his cheek.

“Fuck you Raph,” you said calmly. Usually you would scream and throw shit but it hurt so deeply you where numb. “I have never been into your brother. Never. Even if I was, how dare you call me a slut. How fucking dare you! I am here every day because I want to be around you. You were the fucking one that told me I needed to learn to fight to be near you guys.” He remembered that, you wanted to stay around but he said there was too much danger and you didn’t know how to fight. Later that week you asked Leo to teach you.

Raph wanted to argue, but, he knew from the calmness in your voice how upset you where he was the same way. “Your right,” he admitted. “I didn’t think it would get you and Leo so close.” He stated clearing his throat. “What I just witnessed just… it pissed me off.”

“Well, you just pissed me off. I like you, Raphael. I cannot help it that Leo got the wrong impression but I assure you, I was not hitting on him.” You stepped away from him, “But now.. I don’t want you near me either.” You said walking away and out of the lair as he called your name. When he turned around he seen his brothers shaking their head.

It’s been a week since you been around. Donnie’s been checking on you, Mikey sends you Memes to make you feel better, and Leo only texted to apologize for getting the wrong signals. Raphael left you alone, you been feeling lonely. Your back alone, but, you know Raph has been following you around. You live in a beat up apartment where your living room, kitchen, and bedroom are in the same area so naturally he is worried someone will hurt you. At first it annoyed you now it feels nice to know he still cares in his own way.

Its late one night, Leo goes to see you. You never answered him so he let it be until days has passed. “[Y/n], you okay? You been ignoring everyone.”

“Leo, I don’t mean to ignore everyone I just don’t want near him.” She pointed towards her window. Anyone that wasn’t trained in ninjitsu couldn’t tell there was a giant turtle on the roof.

“You know he wasn’t thinking when he said that.”

“I do.. That doesn’t change the fact he said it.”

“Your right, but ignoring all of us is doing no good. I know Donnie and Mikey don’t deserve this.” He said, watching her as she sighed and nodded. Leo grinned and opened the window. “Come on you have Turtles to see.” With a roll of your eyes you climbed on his shell as he took off.

You thought he was taking you to the lair but he dropped you off at the building Raph was. “Leo..” You growled. He gave a shrug and ran off. Raph came out of the shadows and sighed. “Was that your idea Raph?” You asked, he shook his head.

“No, but listen to me.” He watched as you looked over the building. You had a fear of heights so they knew you wouldn’t get down without help, Raph was your only help. He walked over, taking you in his arms and jumping down to the alley. He wasn’t going to not give you a choice. When you didn’t walk away he spoke. “I was jealous, and I should have just kissed you instead of saying what I did.”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t have slapped you for a kiss.” You said crossing your arms stubbornly. He sighed, it was hard to talk to someone as equally stubborn. He opted out, pushing you against the wall and kissed you deeply. You kissed back, putting your arms around his neck.

“Just a warning, Leo better not touch you again. “Your mine.”

End      

[spectrumscribe]

how did you like the new episode!

Just watched it, and oh am I fucking salty.

I live reacted to the happenings in the episode as I watched it, so you can all see my opinion form as it did.

Read on below, spoilers for folks who haven’t seen Season 5 episode 1 yet.

Nice to see that Raph and Casey are still The Worst andbeing bros now where’s my jonatello friendship

Cults in the sewers. Nice.

They all look like ET tho.

Raph continues to be Casey’s self-restraint, which he sorelyneeds more of.

And cut to the opening sequence.

Okay so personally speaking, as a big fan of cowboy-bebop, I’mkind of digging the new opening? I mean they forgot Casey in it, but I like themusic. The animation could be better, but eh, I’ll take what I can get at thispoint.

Love how there’s nofucking continuity with the fact that they just lost their fucking dad. Fuckthis.

Why aren’t they mourning. Christ.

On the other hand, fanboy Leo is back. I like this Leo betterthan hero Leo by about 100%.

“-too disturbing forkids.” – right up my alley, then.

Okay so idk if anyone else feels this way, but captain Ryan’sbehavior and characterization reminds me of a certain other leader who needs to quite slapping around his team members. (emotionally and physically.)

That’s probably not what they’re trying to metaphor here,but you know, I can have my own opinion.

“-so Casey Jones andhis sidekick Raph gave chase.” – Casey you are a blessing to us all.

Love how pissed Raph is in this shot.^^^

Apparently Donnie has sensors in the sewers, and bothers tokeep track of the homeless population. Interesting. Would’ve been nice if they’dbrought this in earlier in theseries, when it would’ve been more useful.

EY IT’S CULT TIME NAUGHTY CHILDREN HOORAY

Why are there so many caverns under the city omg

FURBIES

FUCK FURBIES DONNIE WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE

April’s powers are amazing and I love her?? So much.

WHY FURBIES THOUGH. DONNIE FUCKING WHY.

Does anyone else have irrational fear of those? Or that awestern side of the world thing.

oh god so many furbies everywhere

I’m enjoying the team ups. It’s a good change from theusually ‘b-team’ ‘a-team’ nonsense. Leo+Mikey and Donnie+Raph gives better roomfor their individual dynamics to shine. Plus you know, the team humans (if Aprilcan be really counted for that) deserve some time off from their crazy mutantfriends.

Chanting time. Lovely.

Guys no don’t interrupt chanting time, that’s rude.

Someone tell that alien-thing to wash its mouth out, who knows where Mikey’s hands have been.

You would all be dead 3000x over if not for Donnie’sinventions. Be grateful you little shits.

Oh they’re immortal-ish. Great.

Ah fuck there goes Mikey again. Why do they always do thisto him.

Jesus Christ his arm. Leo’s arm.

AH HA THE POLICE

Do these men even knowwhat shit goes on in this city.

Moving to the lair and-

THAT’S NOT HOW YOU FIX A DISLOCATED ARM I SWEAR TO GOD

I KNOW FIRST AID. THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO IT.

Leo would be in so much pain, my god. I hate the blatant disregardof reality in this show sometimes. (fictional setting, yes, but still.)

Casey hates magic? Anyone remember him saying that before? Idk. (maybe something to do with him getting cursed last season? probably.)

Mikey no. This isn’t Ghost Busters. yet

Oh lovely, more domestic abuse. Fucking love that.

Had to stop the video, Jesus Christ. Wow I hate this showsometimes. Like right now. Fucking GOD.

“What did I tell youabout the imagination thing? Focus!” - what the shit Raph, what is yourdamage?? You hit Mikey out of the blue, fortaking a moment to imagine something? They’re not in battle, Mikey’s not inthe middle of an important conversation, the fuck is wrong with him thinkingabout something else for a moment?

^^^One of these days, this kid is going to fucking snap, and I amgoing to support him in his rage. (also, @redworld96 for the awesome video links. thanks for those.)

Once again, Donnie is the one who figures things out. Maybe they’llthank him this time around. spoilers: they didn’t

Oh no. The angst moment. I knew it was coming.

“Do not be sad, my son.”-SPLINTER YOU ARE DEAD, WHY THE FUCK WOULDN’T HE BE.

Had to pause again, because FUCK. Here we go with the bullshitty nonsense where Splinterappears to exactly one kid, and one kid only, even when he has three other sons and a daughter, PLUS theother two humans he basically adopted.

Yeah, just show the fuck up Splinter and tell your grievingkid not to be upset you’re dead and have left them with minimal training and noguardian. Fucking sure.

My god I hate this. Telling them you’re always with them does not make it so. Holy fuck that’s nothelpful at all you’re just driving him crazier.

Oh and now he’s gone. SEE I TOLD YOU. AND LEO TELLS FUCKINGNO ONE ABOUT IT. HE’S GONNA HAVE LIKE TEN KINDS OF COMPLEXES WHEN HE GETS OLDERAND I WON’T BLAME HIM FOR IT.

Why won’t you kids just communicate how you’re all feelingfor once? FOR. ONCE.

Ninja time it seems. Nice to see them acting like a team, even though their ‘leader’ is keeping secrets. Ithink I’d personally be pissed if a sibling of mine kept the fact that our dead father was still sort of around and able to talk to us. What the shit.

I’m already tired of this. le-fucking-sigh.

Why are there so many weird caverns under NYC. Seriously. There’sa whole canyon, and now a cult cavern too. How have the people of NYC notnoticed this.

Love how Tigerclaw’s reaction to his master dying is tostart a cult. Bruh, fucking same.

But where did the weirdo ET’s come from.

Leo is visibly struggling with being a leader. I can feelanother arc all about him coming up. Yikes™.

Captured again. Beautiful. Now see? This is why Splinter’s whole “I have taught you all I know” was a fucking lie. They clearly do not know everything he had to teach them, andtelling them they did was really shit parenting and sensei-ing.

Honestly, Splinter at the end there was just shit allaround. Continued once again by him visiting only Leo, and not sparing even a peep to his other grieving kids. It’sofficial, 2014/16 Splinter is the best splinter, and 2003 Splinter was milesbetter than 2012 him. And- 2012Splinter is now on par for shittiness with 2007 Splinter, which I did not thinkwas possible. Ta-fucking-da.

“-so we can beat youagain?” – Leo exactly who is captured right now? You. It’s you. You are notbeating anyone here.

Wow. The ET’s are Mole people. Why am I not surprised.

When in doubt summon a demon. I can abide that. I’d do it ifI had nothing to lose.

Seriously how does New York not notice how batshit theircity is.

Shit. Shit.

Demons. Holy fuck.

I have a small crush on the dragon dude. I’m really digging his design. #it’snotbeingafurryifit’sscaley

I’m laughing bc Kravaxas definitelywants to murder TC for this. You can just hear it in his voice.

Hi yeah I’m down for the demon villain. I’m a sucker forthem, 100%.

Mikey can’t catch a break this episode. Poor sot.

Oh ho ho shit,Kravaxas really hates TC.

Why can’t Donnie do anything ever? Why won’t they give himthat?

At least everyone’s getting the same treatment.

Get fucked, Leo.

OH HEY. PEOPLE SHOWING CONCERN FOR DONNIE. A thank you to Raphand Casey for giving a shit, for once.

Slow-mo oh no. Thank god for red heads.

April is better than these people deserve. But fuck, not more people trying to use April fortheir own ends. Christ, can’t the narrative let her have control of herself/herlife for once?

The amount of murderous intent in Kravaxas’ voice is myfave.

Oh yup. There it is. Leo asking Donnie to solve theirproblems. Again. And no thank you insight, not for this favor or the work he did earlier.

“Can we get our handson, say, two or three dozen tanks?” – Casey. No.

At least I got some jonatello interaction, even if it wasextra stress on Donnie’s part.

April can read minds now? What??? That might be a problem,since she semi-lives with five teenage guys, lmao.

Why does TC love Shredder so much? Idk. Maybe they were athing, somehow. With the pairings this show comes up with, I’m not surprised byanything anymore.

Aaaaaaaaaand fade to black.

Overall opinion? Salt.

I’m firmly in the part of the fandom, small as it seems tobe, that sees a good portion of the brother-brother dynamics as abusive, and I didn’tenjoy the moment between Raph and Mikey atall. It’s frustrating for me to watch, and it only fuels my vitriolicopinions on things. Hated that part, same as all the other parts in the seriesthat’ve been the same content.

Plus, Donnie being asked to solve everything for everyoneyet again. He looks so tired, give him a vacation and a restraining order onhis family.

The other parts were sort of… meh, for me? I mean, I’m happy for more canon content to fuel mywriting, but it didn’t give me anything in terms of emotion? Besides anger.

Like, there’s been zerocontinuation on the fact that their actualfreaking dad just died. You don’t just moveon like that. No one except Leo, because of course it was just Leo, showed any sort of mourning emotions overtheir dead dad. They’re seventeen maybe,and on their own in a world that wants them dead.How the hell are they supposed to just pick up and carry on fine like without any sort of grieving process?

0/10 for emotions, continuity, and satisfying content forme, excluding this-

-because Mikey deservesto get mad. If they ever address the amount of anger he’s got stored up in him,and do it properly, I’ll be over thefucking moon. But likely, even if they did, they’d devalue his legitamentfeelings, and tell him to get over it and grow up. Fuck canon for making meexpect exactly that sort of low quality writing.

Just. Augh.

So far, I liked onemoment in this episode, and it was only because it made me justifiably angry. That’s notexactly a resounding applause on my part of things.

Here’s to hoping they pull a hat-trick out their asses,because I’m not expecting anything good from this season so far. (I have hopesfor the vampire arc, but oh they are wishful ones.)
