—————————————————————————

SHUNSUI KYORAKU - fits into the caribbean breeze like he’s been here lifetimes before. his pink kimono flutters loosely over a linen shirt, straw hat tilted low, lips curled in lazy charm. he’s not trying to experience the island, he’s trying to romance it. and you.

beach reaction - lays out a shaded mat under a palm tree for both of you. naps with his hat over his face until you run sand between your fingers. “ wanna hear the ocean from this close forever,” he murmurs.

food experience - sips rum slowly, eyes on you the entire time. tastes everything twice, once for flavor, once for memory. helps you sneak a second plate of festival bread, winking.

cultural experience - plays dominoes with locals, wins easily, buys the next round. slow-dances with you during a street band’s impromptu set.

“ let’s never go back.” he whispers, into your shoulder.

—————————————————————————

JUSHIRO UKITAKE - walks with calm reverence, his smile softer than the waves. he carries his illness with grace, but here, something lifts the warmth, the laughter, maybe you. even the sun seems gentle around him.

beach reaction - walks along the tide with you, hand clasped loosely in yours. lets the salt cling to his sleeves, seafoam brushing his ankles.

“ this place… feels healing.” he whispers.

food experience - he is thankful for every bite, you can see it in his eyes. prefers fruit, especially fresh pineapple, which he offers you first.

“ i could get used to this, and to you.” he says, softly

cultural experience - he listens closely during storytelling night, asks thoughtful questions. gifts his wooden hairpin to a young girl who admired it. holds your hand as drums echo through the night sky, breathing in peace.

—————————————————————————

KISUKE URAHARA - arrives barefoot, already blending in, fan lazily fluttering in hand. his intelligence is hidden behind that straw hat, but you can feel it alive, burning, curious.he’s here for the sun, the music, and you especially you.

beach reaction - builds the shakiest sandcastle just to make you laugh. lets waves crash into him, arms wide.

“ refreshing, isn’t it?” he pulls you down into the surf with him, both of you laughing too hard to get up.

food experience - raves about the seasoning, gets obsessed with jerk chicken. somehow gets invited into the kitchen and learns how to make it. recreates it later just for you. “ my masterpiece.” he declares.

cultural experience - trades gadgets with a local inventor, both wide-eyed. gifts you a handmade bracelet with tech hidden inside. “ just in case.” calls this trip.

“ the best distraction i’ve ever had.”

—————————————————————————

RYUKEN ISHIDA - stands out in linen and pressed collars, but somehow the island bends to him anyway. aloof and unsmiling, but you notice his posture softening the longer he watches you dance in the breeze. you are the only thing that makes him stay.

beach reaction - he stays under the umbrella for most of the day, book in hand. watches you with a gaze like thunder, quiet but charged. finally joins you at the waterline.

“ i prefer the view this close.”

food experience - inspects everything before tasting it. ends up favoring grilled snapper and ginger juice. wipes your lips delicately. “messy,” he mutters, but doesn’t pull away.

cultural experience - listens to local music with a furrowed brow, until you pull him into a slow sway.

learns a traditional phrase just to say it to you under his breath. doesn’t smile, but his hand finds yours, warm and sure.

—————————————————————————

COYOTE STARRK - moves like a man already dreaming. he lounges in hammocks, listens to ocean lullabies, and only really comes alive when you laugh in his direction. if peace had a name, it would be starrk in the shade beside you.

beach reaction - falls asleep before he finishes putting on sunscreen. lets you draw lines in the sand across his chest while he snores softly.

wakes up, mumbles, “ you look good in sunlight,” then goes back under.

food experience - prefers things grilled. eats slowly, but eats a lot. gives you the juiciest bites without a word. gets a small leaf stuck in his hair, neither of you bother to take it out.

cultural experience - plays dominoes with elders, never says much but wins anyway. he pets every stray dog he sees. lets you braid his hair while local kids giggle in the background.

—————————————————————————

MAYURI KUROTSUCHI - looks out of place, until he starts asking questions. to him, the island is a living experiment. but around you, there’s less calculation, more curiosity that borders on wonder.

beach reaction - refuses to get in the water until he’s taken three samples. touches coral like it’s an artifact. finally relaxes when you splash him and run. he gives chase.

food experience - dissects ingredients aloud, annoys the cook. eventually shuts up after you feed him a piece of fried plantain by hand. he declares. “ acceptable.” but doesn’t stop eating.

cultural experience - trades herbs and knowledge with a village healer. makes you a strange-but-beautiful necklace from shells and wires. he lets you smear paint on his face during a festival. calls it “research.”

—————————————————————————

SZAYELAPORRO GRANZ - stands out like neon in moonlight extravagant.the island’s simplicity confuses him. nd yet, you fascinate him more than any lab. he learns the pace of joy through watching you.

beach reaction - he complains about the salt in his hair. fifteen minutes later, he’s under a canopy with you, admiring seashells. braids one into your hair.

“ fashionable. like me.”

food experience - refuses to eat with his hands. eventually caves. shocked by how good everything is. demands science. licks sauce off your finger with unnecessary flair.

cultural experience - teaches local kids how to make colorful slime. chaos ensues. gets dragged into a dance circle, thrives in the spotlight. gifts you a handmade pendant, “ the only thing as brilliant as me.”

—————————————————————————

GRIMMJOW JAEGERJAQUEZ - walks like the beach is daring him to fight it. barefoot, shirtless, the sun bouncing off his scars like medals. but next to you, he softens, just enough to let the tide reach him.

beach reaction - splashes into the ocean like it owes him money. drags you in even if you scream, laughing like a madman.

“ don’t be scared.” he grins. “i’ll wreck anyone who messes with you, even the sea.”

food experience - scarfs down jamaica patties, licking his lips with a hum. steals food from your plate and dares you to take it back. ends up learning how to grill from a street vendor, now swears he’s the best.

cultural experience - gets pulled into a drum circle. hits hard, too loud but they cheer. lifts a local kid up onto his shoulders and you’ve never seen him grin wider. he whispers. “ we should stay,” when no one’s listening.

—————————————————————————

NNOITRA GILGA - walks like the beach, pisses him off. but when a pelican strolls up to him and just stares? he stares back, like he’s finally met a worthy rival.

beach reaction - sits in the sand, arms crossed, muttering “ this is stupid.”

a brown pelican appears. they lock eyes. it pecks the ground beside him. he huffed, as you young him try to feed the animal. he feed it crumbs from your snack bag.

food experience - complains the food’s too sweet, then devours five dumplings. bites your portion too. “ you weren’t eatin’ it fast enough.”

gets sauce all over his chin, refuses to wipe it. “adds flavor.”

cultural experience - arm-wrestles three locals. wins all three rounds. won’t stop bragging. lets someone braid beads into the end of his hair. gives you the biggest shell he can find.

“ don’t lose it.”

—————————————————————————

TSUKISHIMA SHUKURO - doesn’t walk he glides. his sandals never scuff, his shirt unwrinkled despite the heat, and when he stands beside you, it feels like the sea holds its breath just to listen. he blends in without trying, but it’s you he orbits around, silent and watchful.

beach reaction - he stands under the shade of a palm tree, book in hand. doesn’t rush to the water but when you tug his wrist, he follows. the moment his feet hit the surf, he lets out the smallest laugh.

“ this is tolerable… because you’re here.”

food experience - asks detailed questions about every ingredient. the cook is impressed. tastes each dish with slow precision. smiles, just a little, when you try to copy him. lets you feed him a piece of fried festival bread.

“ mm. surprisingly sweet… you, not the bread.”

cultural experience - listens to every story like he’s archiving it in his mind. helps fix a broken fishing net, hands deft and clean. someone braids a tiny charm into your hair, he leans in close, brushing it with his fingertips.

“ it suits you. keeps you tied to the moment.” at night, while the fire crackles and music echoes soft in the background, he sits beside you on a stone ledge, fingers grazing yours.

“ you make anywhere feel like memory,” he says quietly. then, almost smiling.

“ and i remember everything.”

—————————————————————————

ULQUIORRA CIFER - moves through the island like a passing storm silent, sharp, cold in a way that makes everything warm up around him.

but your presence is the only thing that makes him pause, gaze lingering longer than the sea breeze.

beach reaction - walks the shore alone, eyes scanning the horizon. stands ankle-deep in the surf, letting the water wash away thought. you sit beside him in silence. it’s enough.

food experience - tries everything with quiet precision. stops after one bite of pepper shrimp.

“ too much.”

watches you eat more than he does, memorizing the curve of your mouth.

cultural experience - listens to drumming with his eyes closed. says nothing, but stays. a child offers him a flower crown, he places it on your head.

“ you… belong here. with me.”

—————————————————————————

TOSHIRO HITSUGAYA - walks the shore like a tide himself calm, unwavering, with a quiet grace that belongs here. his armor is gone, replaced by rolled sleeves and sand-dusted shoes.

he guards you without words, his eyes tracking everything, but softening only for you.

beach reaction - finds the quietest spot, sets down a towel, offers you half. he watches the waves. “ predictable, yet powerful.” pulls you close when the wind picks up.

food experience - thanks every cook, compliments every dish. shares his plate with you before you even ask. his favorite becomes anything you smile after tasting.

cultural experience - listens to stories under moonlight. asks about the ancestors. dances once slow, precise with only you. touches your hand to his chest. “ i’ll remember this with my whole soul.”

—————————————————————————

ÄS NDÖT - arrives like fog slow, eerie, quiet. people keep their distance, but children don’t. they say he feels like shadows but not danger. you’re the only one he lets near and it changes him.

beach reaction - he sits in the shade, watching crabs move. you pull him toward the water. he hesitates then follows.

“ it’s… vast.” he murmurs. “but not empty. not with you.”

food experience - barely eats at first. the colors, the smells overwhelm him. you feed him a bite of sweet plantain. his eyes widen.

“ it’s… soft,” he says. you smile. “ so are you, sometimes.”

cultural experience - he listens to music like it’s speaking secrets. a child braids his hair. he flinches, but lets them.

“ i didn’t know places like this existed.” later in the night he whispers to you.

—————————————————————————

JUGRAM HASCHWALTH - walks the shore like a tide himself calm, unwavering, with a quiet grace that belongs here. his armor is gone, replaced by rolled sleeves and sand-dusted shoes. he guards you without words, his eyes tracking everything, but softening only for you.

beach reaction - finds the quietest spot, sets down a towel, offers you half.

watches the waves. “ predictable, yet powerful.” pulls you close when the wind picks up.

food experience - thanks every cook, compliments every dish. shares his plate with you before you even ask. his favorite becomes anything you smile after tasting.

cultural experience - listens to stories under moonlight. asks about the ancestors. dances once slow, precise with only you. touches your hand to his chest. “ i’ll remember this with my whole soul.”

—————————————————————————

ASKIN NAKK LE VARR - shows up in designer sunglasses and bright prints like he owns the whole damn island. he’s sipping from a coconut, flirting with locals and dodging the sun, but always ends up next to you.

beach reaction - won’t step on the sand until he finds the perfect towel spot. yells when a crab comes too close. gets over it when you pour sunscreen into your hands.

“ wait, can you rub it in too?”

food experience - lives for the spice. ranks each dish with dramatic flair. nearly cries from hot sauce, hides it behind his shades. feeds you fruit with a wink. “ for hydration purposes.”

cultural experience - dances with strangers like he was born for it. buys matching bracelets for you both. leans in close, lips at your ear. “ i’d follow you anywhere. even here. especially here.”

—————————————————————————

BAZZ B - is loud, brash, and immediately challenges the sun to a fight. he’s all heat and swagger, shirtless and sunburned and laughing like a madman. but when it’s just you? his voice drops. his fire dims into something warmer.

beach reaction - cannonballs into the ocean like a kid. “ you’re missing out!” he yells, until you join him. lifts you up on his shoulders, dares you to push him under.

food experience - absolutely devours everything like a challenge. keeps demanding spicier and hotter, until he hiccups from heat. you offer a drink. he chugs it, eyes watering. “ worth it.”

cultural experience - he plays steelpan with a local band terribly, but proudly. burns his fingers trying to help grill food. wears the scar like a badge.

“ not pretty as you, but close.” he says. giving you a shell.

MY BOY IS HERE!!!! He's my favorite in this AU so far. [Can you tell that Gene Simmons is a big inspo COUGH💥]

Leonardo, Donatello Michelangelo

Information below 👇

This is Raphael, stage name Rock N' Red [Red for short.] Bassist. Passionate, persistent, hardworking, and well-practiced. He’s probably the *only* one of his brothers who actually reads over their music and practices to a T. Despite his intimidating persona, Raphael is a gentle giant [... Most of the time.] And if you can catch him out in public, he's pretty bashful and a big ol' teddy bear.

The red-clad snapper may not be the leader of the band and usually keeps it to Leo to take the reigns, but without him to usually defuse the stress, there wouldn't even be a band. He may sometimes get on his brother's cases (COUGH Leo COUGH), but he's one keeping ‘em all together.… Even if he himself has to fight from throwing his bass at the back of Leo’s head during practice sometimes.

kara danvers :)

ok well you and i have discussed this at length so this will not be new to you but imco (in my correct opinion) kara danvers [as portrayed by the cw's supergirl, not necessarily in other versions] is actually pretty lazy, and i would argue this is one of her most central and consistent character traits. and i don't just mean physically lazy, although i should note that per 3.17 "trinity" she canonically Hates Walking and doesn't understand why humans exercise. i mostly mean on an intellectual & moral level.

kara wants to be a reporter, but when she figures this out (because......a pretty lady told her she should do it? ig?), she does not apply to journalism school, or take online classes. instead she is handed a reporter job by her boss (who scrawled 'reporter' on her hilariously terrible resume when they met for reasons known only to her) and from then on proceeds to basically just do whatever she wants and get offended when more seasoned reporters who have gone to journalism school ask her to do basic functions of the job like Acquire Sources and Report On The Facts And Not Just Your Personal Opinions. at no point do we really see her ask her colleagues, even friendly ones like james, for advice or help; instead, advice is something that's imposed upon her by the wicked snapper, who dares to be unimpressed by her uneducated slay. throughout the show, on multiple occasions, the idea of actually Doing Her Job seems to offend her -- lena even calls her out for this explicitly in 3.02 "triggers," but she continues to display this behavior with andrea in s5 & s6. in the finale, when she is promoted to editor-in-chief in an act of blatant cronyism that truthfully should prompt the entire catco staff to quit in protest, it is not on her initiative, nor due to her efforts, nor is it because anything about the position has piqued her interest; it is, again, simply handed to her, and she just accepts.

additionally, we rarely see her express meaningful curiosity about, well, any subject, really -- we know she learned calculus young, but her interest in math and science seems nil; she is deeply naive about the u.s. justice system in s6 in a way that suggests she has never looked into it, though her own mother was a judge on krypton; and a lot of her interests seem very Basic (pizza, potstickers [? why girl.], nsync, the wizard of oz, harry potter), which to be clear is not inherently a sign of intellectual laziness or incuriosity, but it also does nothing to suggest that she is someone with a wide knowledge of food, literature, music, or film.

she also demonstrates what i would argue is a kind of moral laziness, though you could call it an offshoot of her intellectual laziness, in her general lack of real self-reflection about, like, any of her actions. although some of the other characters sometimes bring up how messed-up the DEO is (e.g. james in s1 with the gitmo comparison -- which, CRAZY line to put in your show and then never address, btw), kara herself does not question it (until the Wrong People take over, of course). her rhetoric in early s2 about daxamites suggests that she is quite comfortable believing sweeping generalizations she was taught as a child and has never really sat down to interrogate them, but while mon-el being.....pretty bad but i guess not as bad as his mom? yay? inspires her to stop being bigoted against daxamites specifically, we will later still hear her say that certain species tend to be peaceful or aggressive, etc., with no self-reflection. in 3.05 "damage," when morgan edge tries to make it seem like lena's lead dispersal device that kara activated poisoned children, kara does not take the opportunity to self-reflect on the choice she made and whether it was worth it; instead, her arc for the episode is reacting emotionally to her best buddy feeling guilty (about the thing kara also did. i cannot emphasize that part enough).

i would argue the conclusion she draws in 5.13, too, smacks of this moral laziness; she spends the episode looking for a magic shortcut to not having to feel bad anymore, and when she can't find one, she decides that actually, meh, there was never a perfect way for things to go down, so all that lying wasn't such a big deal and lena should just get over it. kara is dripping with a lot of guilt in 5A, but throughout both 5A and 5B there's very little actual, thoughtful self-reflection on what she did wrong and why, and that carries over into S6 when, after like ten episodes of lena (and also william ig) repeatedly trying to tell her not to play god, she decides in the very penultimate episode to solve her problems by eating the sun, and then when she decides against it partway through doing it, there's again very little self-reflection on her part of why the hell she thought that was a good thing to do. kara's morality, on the whole, seems largely based on (a) alex and (b) vibes, and not so much on any actual thought she's dedicated to the moral questions at hand.

and similarly to when kara is asked to Do Her Damn Job at her place of work -- when kara is challenged on her morality (like when lena challenges her on the kryptonite in s3, or on myriad in 5.17), she acts annoyed at the very idea of having to do the hard work of thinking about the morals she espouses as a superhero. and it doesn't read as someone who has thought very hard about her moral choices and is offended because she believes so strongly that she's right, because we never actually see her thinking hard about these moral choices she makes at all. it reads as someone who hasn't thought about it beyond a very cursory level and is frustrated that she's being asked to. because, again, she's just fundamentally kind of lazy.

and the thing is this might sound like i am dunking on her but actually i think this is a trait that is incredibly funny. my favorite portrayal of supergirl/kara danvers is the one from the children's cartoon dc super hero girls 2019, whose version of kara is ALSO lazy, on top of being an aggressive, quick-to-anger, rude, irresponsible, selfish brat. and she's hilarious in that show, she's one of my favorite characters. another favorite character of mine, also a children's cartoon character, is anne boonchuy from amphibia, whose entire character journey is about learning not to be physically, intellectually, or morally lazy and learning to [school principal voice] Apply Herself instead. it can be incredibly fun to watch characters be lazy and incurious and self-centered, whether they change for the better or not. but it is a bit strange that some people act like kara is this super disciplined person who loves working out and loves learning and reads widely and is curious about everything and self-reflects on her own decisions and how she affects others to the point of obsession. i wonder if part of it is 'femslash same-character syndrome,' where people slap other characters' traits from other popular femslash ships onto each other. because the character i just described is adora from she-ra. who a lot of people think is similar to kara. except no. she's not at all. as evidenced by this whole write-up ☝️ lol. they're just both blonde and for some reason (#blondephobia?) femslash fandoms wanna act like all blonde girlies are the same. but they are not. #wakeupamerica.....

If you’re still doing them Maddie, I wish you would write a fic where TK cooks for Carlos for the first time 💖

The weight of a long shift—a week of them, all spilling into each other like dominos—digs into Carlos’ shoulders as he sighs and stretches his neck and thumbs the ridges of his house key before shoving it in the lock.

TK’s been texting him most of the day, just aimless, endearing tangents about a dream he had the night before and the cheesy medical procedurals available to him on streaming, along with a smiley selfie or two, and it’s kept him upright. Upright through the back-to-back domestic disturbances; the multi-vehicle pileups. Carlos didn’t want to bug him with talk of work when his boyfriend’s still on mandatory leave, but he thinks it’s been written on his face, lately, just how tired he is.

“Hey babe.”

Tired enough to not even register TK standing by the dining table, in a pair of dark jeans and t-shirt. His bandage pokes over the edge of his collar, and Carlos focuses on it like he always does; on how much is being held together with stitches and gauze, on how quickly a life—the most important life—could’ve been taken away. Carlos’ eyes drift up to his boyfriend’s face: the slight pinkness to his cheeks, the soft creases around his eyes.

“Hey,” Carlos says, stepping in close and accepting the hug TK pulls him into. “I thought we were meeting up tomorrow night.”

TK’s gaze is warm when he pulls back from the hug and instead cups Carlos’ face. “We still are. I just wanted to check in on you tonight.”

“I’m fine,” Carlos insists, reaching up to gently squeeze at TK’s wrists, sparing an extra second to feel the thrum of his pulse under his thumbs.

“Baby, you’re running on fumes.”

Carlos bites the inside of his cheek, allowing himself to absorb the pet name TK’s been using more and more; allowing himself to wonder what exactly gave himself away to his boyfriend.

“I thought you could use a night in,” TK continues, lacing their fingers together now so he can tug Carlos further into the house; into the kitchen, which he is just now noticing has been used. “The market didn’t have red snapper,” TK pauses, his eyes flashing with mischief as their gazes lock, “but the guy told me the salmon was super fresh. It needs like, two more minutes in the oven and then we can eat.”

Carlos takes it all in: the mixing bowl full of a salad, complete with roasted nuts and segments of citrus; the smell of garlic and onion; the candlelight filling the room. TK gives him a nervous little smile as he gently moves around him in the small space when the timer goes off, filling their plates with fluffy, herbed rice and filets topped with lemon slices.

“Let me help you,” Carlos says, finally finding his voice after watching his boyfriend in quiet wonder.

“I can handle two plates, babe,” TK teases, jerking his chin toward the dressed table. “Go sit. Let me take care of you for once, Reyes.”

He listens to TK and sits in his usual chair, imagining his boyfriend in his home, humming along to music blasting from his phone as he diced vegetables and prepped dozens of ingredients so it could all come together in time. It’s a sight he hopes to come home to forever. It’s a sight he hopes to witness; to be a part of, next time.

Once they’re across from each other, Carlos’ stomach growls. He’d barely had time for a protein bar in the first half of his shift. He brings a forkful to his mouth and hums happily as flavour bursts over his tongue.

“I didn’t know you could cook like this,” Carlos admits, as the side of his fork glides through the fish.

“Well, you’re always so particular about your recipes,” TK jokes, before shrugging his good shoulder. He reaches across the table and squeezes Carlos’ hand. “I want to do this for you more. I want to do this together.”

“I’d love that,” Carlos smiles, thumb stroking over TK’s knuckles. Suddenly not wanting to hold it in anymore, and feeling brave in the golden light of their moment together, Carlos says: “I love you.”

TK beams. There’s something like wonder in his eyes when he replies, “I love you too.”

It feels like a mortal failing to not kiss him in this moment, and so Carlos does; pushing his chair back and leaning over at the waist to cup TK’s jaw in his palm and press their mouths together. Their lips move in an easy slide, and TK tastes of citrus, of something distinctly himself.

It’s kind of like coming home. And Carlos never wants it to fade away.

(i wish you would write a fic where…game!)

[Video Description] A vertical video that opens with a black screen. As the autumn themed lofi hiphop music fades in, a gentle string with an organ playing under it, gold text begins appearing via a retro typing effect and the text reads The Calendar says August but our heart says and holds for a moment. Then the beat drops, giving the string and organ melodies an uptempo vibe and the video transitions to a triple pumpkin Fathom dragon, followed by the following in a reasonably rapid succession: a triple red Imperial representing apples, a triple Cinnamon Wildclaw, a triple Blackberry Snapper, a triple Berry Skydancer, a triple Ginger Ridgeback, a triple Caramel Guardian, and finally a triple Latte Fathom dragon. All of the dragons are wearing different colors of the Harvest set apparel, which includes a robe, filigree metal jewelry that appears as grapevines, and hanging grapes and leaves on the headpieces and wingpieces. Apple, Cinnamon, Berry, and Blackberry also have long color coordinated braided manes. For each dragon, the following words appear in the same retro type effect, but with the matching Flight Rising color wheel color of the autumn spice or scent the dragon is representing: Pumpkin, Apple, Cinnamon, Blackberry, Berry, Ginger, Caramel, and Latte. The video then fades to the Flight Rising logo and remains there as the music fades out.

Rules:

You must create a drawing or a sketch depicting at least one member of Young Justice dressed according to the chosen day's theme. The drawing doesn't have to be fully rendered or even coloured and can be done either traditionally or digitally (or via a secret third thing).

The event is intended to be a short but intense burst of creativity, and the participant should only spend a day per prompt, but that's more for fun and isn't mandatory. Feel free to go at your own pace 👍

•What kind of turtle is Jazz?

Jazz is a genetically engineered fusion of a green sea turtle (the blueish subspecies), and a subspecies of alligator snapping turtle that originated from the pet trade.

•Is Jazz biologically related to the other four turtles in any way?

Nope! Draxum made him using some other guy’s DNA, and his alligator snapper DNA isn’t related to Raph in any way.

•How old is he?

As of right now, Jazz is sixteen.

•What’s up with his eyes?

Ah yes, trauma time. Jazz’s right eye is perfectly fine. His left eye is completely blind.

•Okay, but why is his left eye blind?

Siiiiigh. -sighs- Well, Jazz didn’t come out the way Draxum wanted him to, so good ol’ Drax experimented on and low-key tortured him. At some point, Jazz completely lost his vision in his left eye.

•Why is his name Jazz?

I genuinely don’t know. It’s just what I ended up naming him.

•Is his name related to the music?

No. Besides, he’s more of a dubstep fan, tbh. Among other things.

•Is he single?

First of all, huh? Also, no he isn’t. I ship him with Donnie. (YEAH I KNOW. OC X CANON. I’M SORRY OKAY.)

•Can I date him please?

No.

•Can I microwave him?

Technically yes, but I’d rather it if you didn’t. He doesn’t hold up well after being reheated.

•Smash?

Your skull? Gladly. Jazz? Absolutely not. BACK, PERVERT! BACK I SAY!

•Why he kinda…

Kindly refrain from completing that sentence.

•Is he gay?

Yes actually.

•Would he be delicious.

I… no.

…

Alright, that’s enough of that-

Personality:

He’s very shy, quiet, easily spooked. He hides in his shell a lot. He’s autistic, but his symptoms are hard to pin down, and difficult to differentiate from trauma responses. Yes, he stims. Hand flappies.

He has a very hard time understanding emotion. Sort of like Donnie, except he literally didn’t know what the word ‘emotion’ meant until it was explained to him by Mikey.

Due to psychological manipulation and trauma, he’s mentally detached from himself at times. He doesn’t view himself as a ‘person’ because according to him, he would have to have emotions in order to be a person.

(Which is not a good way of thinking, just to be clear.)

The problem isn’t that he doesn’t feel. He does. He just doesn’t know what he’s feeling. He doesn’t know when he’s ‘happy’ or ‘sad’. He does know when something feels negative or positive though, he just doesn’t recognize the emotions.

It’s hard to explain.

The only emotion he can pin down, and knows, is fear. Not because he knows he’s afraid, but because he’s learned what the word ‘fear’ means, and associates it with past experiences.

He’s also detached from pain, and views it curiously.

Not in a masochistic way, and he would never hurt somebody unless heavily provoked.

But he understands pain, it’s something he had felt often in the past. He associates pain in certain parts of his body with past experiences, past injuries.

…

This is a lot, and I’m getting tired-

Ummm…

Oh! Fun Facts!

He has a tail. It’s about a foot and a half long, and has a few spikes running along the top.

His original design had glasses, but my lazy ass stopped drawing him with glasses. And now I think he looks better with no glasses.

Until very recently, his design featured a pale red scarf. It is now a bandanna.

He is about two inches taller than Mikey, but a good bit wider. More solid. Still a silly little guy though.

Can I make art of Jazz?

Yes, of course! I would love to see art of my boy! Just make sure you tag me as the owner of the oc.

No stealing, you silly goose.

…

Are we done? We are? Really? Thank fu-

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask! :D

"How could I be your brother again?" Raph asked, uncharacteristically dramatic.

"What are you talking about?" Leo croaked.

"Raph, you said you wouldn't d--"

"I have done terrible things!" The snapper continued like they hadn't spoken.

"Do not do this!" Donnie shouted.

"I shan't be called your brother again!"

"Oh for the love of-- Raph!"

"What is he on about?"

"Should we get Dad?"

"Oh, the horrors I have done and seen!"

"He saw some musical with me and now is trying to act like the protagonist, which he said he wouldn't do!" Donnie explained, voice pitching higher at the end.

"How could you--"

"Raph!" the three younger brothers interrupted in unison.

"You guys are no fun," Raph sighed and left the medbay.

Eventually, after about a minute of silence, Leo whispered "...I think we're bad people," before the silence returned.

Hopefully this is good enough. Ik it's not exactly the prompt, but I don't watch epic the musical and I don't find this funny, but I'm really hoping someone else finds it funny lol bc otherwise there's no point in writing if not to make someone laugh or cry

@spookie-puppy (hope it's okay I tagged you too lol. also yes hi it is me, @/fluffyyyfrog9000 no pranks no jokes)

Glow week- day 5

Mother or father?

Well, it's mostly father that's around for obvious reasons; Greg can travel to the pack and camp his truck out there whenever he pleases and in the future, they even build him a little place to stay. So he's got quite a a bond with the pack with the ferals already. Him and his music work wonders on the nerves. :3

This doesn't mean Dr. Maheswaran doesn't like the pack (even if she's uneasy with most of them), but I feel like she's often busy, being a doctor and all.

In fact, if she finds time, Dr. Maheswaran would somet swing by and meet with Fluffy to just idly chat; either about motherhood, exchanging advice or recipes or just how it is being a human or gem.

If they're kiddos are around, it's a bonus. :3

@glowweek

And in a FUTURE FUTURE (which is unofficial, mind you) stand point, we doing both because of balance;

Lil Quartz is the mellow Father with words of wisdom and a belly that acts like either a bed for nap time or in this case a bounce house for the restless.

Connie is the energetic Mother that encourages her kiddos to do good with themselves and is the one to take em out to let in run wild in places, while at the same time dropping little fun facts about things here and there.

Both parents kinda balance each other out.

Oh and yeah, here's my rendition of their children.

Since they're still a bit unofficial, I don't exactly have official names, but nicknames (Left to right): Lil Rascal, Snapper, Rosebud.

One thing's certain, one must be named Nora.

I've finally got the opportunity to learn to play the pipe organ. It's a really fun instrument, they're kinda like the feral temperamental twinks of the instrument kingdom instead of 'king of the instruments'.

Of course, I love Bach, but now that I'm able to see the sheet music for some of his scores - what the FUCK is that pedal line man.

It's a common theme for Bach's pedal compositions to be either wonderful and simple; adds nice accompaniment to the main melody(s).

Then you get these ankle snappers.

I love you Bach, but also, be gentle with the beginners dude.

The pipe organ truly is my favourite species of instrument.

★random rise!raphael headcanons, for it's his birthday★

— | !! | content / trigger warning: mentions of bandages, mention of wounds, mention / implication of unintentional self harm (??)

— |★| I can easily see Raphael being aroace, or at least cupio—romantic. Though he does get flustered quite often and such, I can't really see him returning, or having romantic feelings for anyone. It's all platonic baby /pos. As for his gender, I can honestly see him identifying as cisgender— and as for the pronouns.. he would be quite flexible with them. Though he would use he/him as his main set of pronouns, I feel like he would let others refer to him however they'd feel comfortable with.

— |★| He likes wrapping bandages tightly around his body, even if he doesn't need to have them on, as he does enjoy the pressure that they provide to him. It makes him feel safe.

— |★| Has a strange habit of collecting bandages and bandaids, either used or not. I have this weird thought that he would not wanna throw them away, as they did help heal his wounds and it would seem ungrateful if he just tossed them away. So yeah, he has a 'bandage' drawer, of some sorts.

— |★| He also let's mikey draw on his bandages. He likes how pretty they look and it gives him another reason to collect them even when they are worn out and old.

— |★| I think that's it's pretty safe to assume that Raph has object empathy of some kind. This is based on the fact that Raph has an attachment for his plushies, as well as referring to lace face- and the tire that he stole from the turtle-tank to use as a tube in 'Man Vs Sewer', as his 'emotional crutches'.

— |★| Raph sometimes jabs his fingers with his snaggle tooth as a form of stimming. He enjoys, and is a bit amazed by how sharp his teeth can actually be.

— |★| Another form of stimming that I can see him have is him clasping his fist against his palm, as if getting ready to jump into battle, but no. It would be more of a happy stim if anything, and the faster the pace gets, and the rougher the clasps are, the happier the snapper is.

— |★| And when Raph is nervous, he either begins talking to himself at an alarmingly fast pace, or he'll just shutdown and snap his teeth at random out of frustration.

— |★| Raph definitely listens to loud music and works out when stressed out or angry, it's one of the more healthy ways for him to defuse- to just smashing and bashing stuff or trying to fight / hit himself.

— |★| He has a snack-stash somewhere in his room, as he is a large turtle with a large appetite. Though there are times where he'll just forget about the food in his room, and when he'll finally remember about the stash, he'll just eat all of it in one day as to not let anything go to waste.

— |★| He also has a snack-stash for his brothers and April in case they want to hang out in his room.

— |★| He sometimes feels a bit self-conscious about not having colourful markings as his younger brothers do, and that went noticed by Mikey; who painted the rims of his spikes with red paint, and Raph actually got emotional /pos.

— |★| He has a tendency to forget how spiky his shell is, so when he goes to scratch it, he jabs his fingers with it's spikes by accident instead.
