#Tmnt story

[starrayblogs]

Scenario or Headcanons of Tmnt (bayverse) x reader who is very friendly and affectionate (maybe crush or beginning of the relationship) but when she gets affection (the boys are e one starting it) she malfunctions? I’m talking getting clumsy, flustered, blushing, stuttering automatically, kinda comical tbh lol

Thank you and hope you have a good day!

ahh, thank you so much for the ask! :3 i hope i don't disappoint, so here goes nothing!! also, likes and reblogs are appreciated as usual ✩

pairings: (bayverse) leonardo x reader, raphael x reader, donatello x reader, and michelangelo x reader (gender neutral)

will include: fluff

while you're usually the more outgoing one in terms of affection, it's not an excuse for your favorite turtle to be reserved with his. in fact, he has his shining moments!

Leonardo

i personally see leo's favorite form of affection is through a kiss

you frequently give him kisses when you see each other and when you're about to part ways after spending time with each other

leo's favorite place to be kissed is on his cheek. he thinks it's sweet and endearing!

he still remembers the first time you did it to him

"See you tomorrow." Leo bows his head down shortly, before he meets your eye again. He turns his back around to make his jump down the fire exit to your apartment, but he feels you tap on his shell.

When he turns around, he's surprised at how swift you are to plant a kiss on his cheek. It was soft, and he wished it lasted longer.

"Goodnight, Leo." you grin, holding your chin up on your palm as you wave the turtle goodbye.

you know he enjoys the gesture, and you enjoy doing it too him as well. so, it's a win-win situation

until, one night, leo decided to turn the tables around you

You just finished brewing two cups of tea for you and Leo. You held the mugs and carefully made your way back to the dojo, where Leo was sitting and having trouble meditating. You offered to make him a cup of tea, and decided to make yourself one too.

"Here," you offer him his mug, "is your tea. I made sure to brew your favorite pack." You smile at him as he takes his cup from you.

"Thank you." He returns the smile. You hum, taking a seat next to him and blowing the steam away from your tea.

You didn't notice that Leo hadn't stopped looking at you.

You were so focused on drinking your tea, you didn't register that Leo had gently pulled your head towards him.

Then, you felt him kiss the top of your head.

Out of surprise, you spit your tea back in the cup abruptly. This backfires on you, because the hot liquid splashes you in the face and you shriek.

"Oh my mutagen, are you okay!?"

you were flustered that night. when leo usually gives you affection, it's in return of what you gave him

however, that day, he did it without you initiating it first- which is what caught you off guard

leo jokes and laughs about that night as much as he can, making your cheeks red from embarrassment

there is one more thing, however

"I still can't believe you actually spat back the tea over that." Leo finishes his sentence after a while of laughing, while you were busy covering your face and groaning into your hands.

"Leo, pleaaaaase. I beg you to forget about it." You whine, albeit muffled.

And since you were covering your face, you had fallen for the tricks of the mighty leader. Which is using this moment to press a kiss on your head again while pulling you close to him.

"Oh my gosh– Leo!" You uncover your red face to look up at him. He just smiles back before kissing you on the lips this time.

Raphael

i like to think that raphael loves callsigns. however, there are different types to these nicknames

there's obviously the nicknames he uses on the bad guys to demean them

then there's the nicknames he uses on his brothers to annoy them

then there's the nicknames he uses with you (yet)

you see, when you first met, you were already calling raph different things

"Hey, hotshot, could you grab me a slice?" You ask Raph from the couch, turning yourself around to give him a pretty smile.

or...

"Raphie, have you seen my history notebook?" You come up to his room where he was doing reps. He nearly dropped the weights on his feet, had you not exclaimed in time for him to jump away.

it came natural to you to call him special nicknames

and it made raph soft. it made him feel special, because you never called his brothers the things you called him: hotshot, big guy, raphie, and, his favorite, handsome

but raph never showed how soft it made him, of course, it would ruin his tough guy reputation!

he thinks about the names you call him at the end of the day when he's laying in his bed

and, one day, he wakes up with the same confidence as you

You were pissed from school today. Your partner for the project the teacher gave for the period wasn't helping you at all and, somehow, they got all the credit.

You were heading down the ladder to the lair and when you turn your head around, you see Raph lounging by the table and watching the tv from afar.

You hurriedly get down the ladder and start stomping your way to the turtle, ranting about your day. You were standing next to him and obviously fuming, until...

"Slow down, gorgeous/handsome. Grab a slice, won't ya?" He smirks, throwing one hand behind the seat.

Your rant comes to a stammer as you feel your cheeks heat up. You slowly turn your head to the turtle, pointing a finger at him.

"E-Excuse me?" You stutter.

"I said... Relax and grab a slice, sweetheart." Raph chuckles, standing up from his seat and helping you into tour own.

He even had to help you eat, because somehow you were messing up eating a pizza from how flustered you were. He also waited until you could properly function again.

Only to call you with another nickname.

Donatello

personally, i don't see donnie as verbally or physically affectionate as his brothers

however, he is a sucker for acts of services

and it just so happens that you enjoy doing stuff for donnie. handing him beakers, writing down notes when his hands are too occupied, and bringing over food and telling him to take a break

"Hey, the guys ordered pizza." You step back in his makeshift lab with a plate full of pizza for you two to share.

You take your seat next to Donnie, who was soldering wires together for a new machine he was making. You hum, tapping on the table gently to break him from his focus.

You learned to not tap on his shell from the last time. You nearly got spilled with deadly chemicals...

Eventually, he pushes up his goggles and meets your eyes. His face softens into a smile and you could feel your heart swell with joy.

"Time to take a break, Donnie." You tell him, watching him set aside his project before you place down the plate of food to share.

"Thanks," he says, "I really would miss more meals if you weren't around." He adds, grabbing a slice. You click your tongue while shaking your head.

and once you're out of the lair, the rest of his brothers (without missing) collectively turn their heads to the lab to hear the squeal that echoes through the entire sewer

he goes to bed at night thinking of all the things you did for him that day

sometimes, he wishes he had the confidence you had to treat you just as fair

however, it's as natural to him as it is to you

You squirm uncomfortably on your chair because it was wobbling. That's unusual, considering Donnie does his best to make his workspace as comfy as can be to enhance his focus.

Donnie seemed to notice how uncomfortable you were and paused on his work. "Here," he stands up from his seat and guides you onto it. "Sit on my chair for now." He smiles at you before facing his work again. "I have a big suspicion that Mikey broke my chair bouncing on it earlier." He clicks his tongue as he rolls his eyes.

"Uh-Uh huh..." You reply softly, cheeks turning red and body turning stiff. You were so in your head, screaming about what just happened, you didn't notice Donnie glancing at you when he asked you to reach for his solder.

He chuckles and taps on the table space in front of you to break you out of your daze. You do, but there is still blush on your cheeks. "Did I do something wrong?" He asks softly and you quickly shake your head.

Michelangelo

this one is a bit difficult to write, considering mikey is the most affectionate of his brothers- but i realized something

other than april, vern, and casey, you're the only other human he's ever interacted with! what makes you different is that, you're more affectionate compared to the other three

he's not used to it! you're so sweet that he ends up freezing on the spot whenever you run up and give him a hug, which he returns ofcourse! after some stammering...

"Oh, hey Mikey!!!" You spot him at the bottom of the ladder as you make your way down and call for his attention. He looks up and grins, waving at you.

"What's up, my favorite human!?" He greets you back with just as much enthusiasm.

"Come on, catch me!" You yell and jump off from the ladder with the widest smile.

Mikey panics and quickly stretches out his arms to catch you. When you land in his arms with no effort, aside from a small 'umph!' from you once you landed, you're giggling and wrapping your arms around his neck.

"Nice catch!" You tell him, giving him a pat on his shell before asking him to put you down. You walked away to greet the other turtles, leaving the orange masked turtle in shock.

because you're the first human to ever be affectionate to him, he isn't as confident as he thought he would be when it came to this type of situation!

he likes you, definitely. so when his brothers find out, they all just laugh it up by saying its just his nerves.

mikey 'psh's them and says he doesn't get nervous around you

but sometimes he gets caught in the moment

You recently bought a new game and wanted to play it with the turtles! You got down to the lair and immediately invited the first turtle you saw, which so happens to be your favorite turtle.

"Mikey-angelo, my guy!" You grin and jump your way over to the couch, where he was. He greets you with the same enthusiasm and you two share a high five.

You mention the game and the two of you don't waste a second in getting it set up and handing each other the controllers. It was a multiplayer game and you two had to work with each other to reach the set goals.

You two played for a while and after an hour or two, you finally defeated a boss for the mission. You cheer from your spot on the couch and turn to high five the turtle, but...

He cheers louder and gets up from his seat, grabs you by the sides, and lifts you up. He spins you around in joy, and you would join him in cheering, but there was one problem.

You're so surprised by this that your face turns red as you admire the turtle's face. He had the widest smile, and you can tell how relieved he is to have defeated that boss. He looked so happy.

When he opens his eyes, he stops spinning you when he realizes what he's done. He begins to stutter as he awkwardly sets you down, and you turn your head in hopes to calm your blush by not looking at him.

Then he brings back your attention by asking, "let's order pizza?" You quickly turn your head back and nod frantically. You go for your pocket to pull out your phone, but it slips from your hand.

Mikey watches as you comically keep trying to catch your phone, but it keeps slipping until it falls on the floor.

You two stare at each other for a while, but it ends with the two of you eventually laughing.

"Who knew you to be the touchy turtle, Mikey." You comment between chuckles.

"I am! I am the touchy one! I just get nervous!"

My story with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Español]

When I graduated from preschool, I was gifted the class pet: a red-eared slider turtle (now almost 20 years old and even has a similar companion). From that moment on, turtles have become part of my identity. If someone asked me about my favorite animal, of course I would say turtles. They are very interesting animals that do interact with each other and with humans; they have an enviable perseverance, enormous curiosity, and ninja-like abilities (they are fast, silent, and enjoy climbing, to throw themselves and performing some really strange acrobatics).

Well, today I'd rather tell you my story with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and how I came to be part of this fandom. It's actually a somewhat long story, but it has some funny details, and it's a way for you to get to know me a little better.

So, since turtles have always been a part of my life, it should have been natural for me to encounter the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from a very young age, so I got to know them through the tmnt 2003 version. And yes, of course, they appeared on television and I was curious about protagonists being turtles... but the series didn't resonate with me.

When you're young, what you need are stories that you can somehow identify with, which is why the best stories will always be the ones that are most diverse in every possible way. And of course, any version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is already a statement towards accepting what's different, promoting diversity. But this wasn't enough for me back then.

I was a girl who wanted to see girly things, shows with interesting female characters. And honestly, from what little I had seen of tmnt 2003 (maybe just a few scenes from an episode), I only spotted male characters except for April, who was an adult (so I preferred to watch Teen Titans). However, I already had my favorite turtle identified: the one with the purple mask, simply because it was my favorite color; funny how that hasn't changed.

When I was almost the age of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the tmnt 2012 series premiered on Nickelodeon. It didn't catch my attention either. However, my sister L, almost three years younger than me, insisted that I watch it. So I did... and I guess I loved it. Because that's how my story with the Ninja Turtles began. That's how I met them.

My sister L and I were always on the lookout for when the series aired on TV; we literally ran to watch it, to make sure we didn't miss anything. And I confirmed that my favorite turtle was Donnie, but I actually loved them all.

A few years later, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (2014) was released... I couldn't see it in theaters, but I was very excited about it, even though I knew it had nothing to do with the tmnt 2012 version (which I was very hooked on), and that's why I was a little disappointed. Plus, I hated how they sexualized April.

So yeah... you could say I was obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and although I hadn't realized to what extent, my parents and my two sisters did, so my 16th birthday party (just with these people) was themed around it as a surprise. They inflated green balloons, hung them up, and put on masks in the corresponding colors, and we ate pizza. They put a mini 2012 Donatello toy on my cake, which I still have. Now that I think about it, it was an intimate and very nice party... however, I don't like to show my tastes, so at that moment I did feel uncomfortable and dared to express that I would have preferred a normal party, instead of expressing how incredible it was, because it really was incredible. (What can I say? Although I have always been well-behaved and never caused any problems of any kind, I was also a teenager).

At that time, I was still following the tmnt 2012 series, and I used the internet to keep up with each new episode. I reached a point where I became impatient and had to watch the episodes as soon as they premiered, meaning I had to hurry to watch them on YouTube before the videos were taken down, even if that meant watching them in English and in poor quality.

I had a terrible level of English and I hardly understood anything. But doing this greatly improved my level, and I also started to take my English classes at school seriously to understand the episodes. Without exaggeration, everything I know about English is thanks to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nowadays, I have a very solid intermediate level, and I still continue to improve thanks to them.

Still in that level of obsession with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I obviously searched for more on the internet, on YouTube specifically. In one of those many videos I watched, scenes from the tmnt 2007 version caught my attention. That rivalry, that epic battle between Leo and Raph, captivated me. So I watched that movie, and although I didn't find it good overall for several reasons, I was deeply moved by the story between the brothers.

But let's go back to the tmnt 2012 version. The ending of the third season was one of the most shocking endings I've ever seen. And when the fourth season premiered and the turtles were in space... that's exactly when I lost interest. And I really don't know why, since I really like science fiction and everything related to the universe. Maybe it was because I stopped understanding what was happening (remember I was watching the episodes in English). I don't know.

After that, from time to time, I would feel nostalgic and curious about this series, so I would watch a random episode here and there (in general, I'm not good at watching series; I'm capable of watching only the episodes that catch my attention, sacrificing understanding the overall plot). And when I found out it ended, I looked for the last three episodes of the fifth season... and they left me feeling really bad with that dystopian, hopeless, but realistic ending. It's horrible, but I guess that's what I liked the most. Let's admit it, we all like to be masochists.

Later, I sort of saw that a new version had been released with colors too vibrant for my taste and a 2D animation with too much hyperactivity that didn't catch my attention. Yes, I'm talking about the rottmnt version, released in 2018. Nowadays, you don't know how much I regret not paying attention to it.

Years passed and 2023 arrived. At the beginning of that year, I realized that we had Paramount+, and that meant that the tmnt 2012 series, in Spanish, was complete. And my younger sister R hadn't been able to watch it because she had been too young at the time. So I felt like introducing it to her, and that way I could watch the entire series in the right way.

It was like watching a marathon: we finished it all in less than two months, despite our various commitments (she had school and I had work, making it very difficult to coordinate schedules). Suddenly, my obsession returned, very intense. It was the only time that I've had the same obsession in two very different stages of my life. But I still wasn't open to discovering new versions.

(You're going to laugh at what happened next).

My sister L, the one who initially introduced me to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, seeing how much I enjoyed reconnecting with them, insisted that I watch the movie of the rottmnt version, which was on Netflix; she said it was very intense and good, well worth it, but that I had to watch it with an open mind because it had many radical changes.

Much to my dismay, very resistant and with my mind as closed as possible, I watched this movie. And yes, it was very intense and all, but I concluded that I didn't like it. I didn't feel like those were my turtles. Despite that, I watched it again... and then again and again. It's like the character of Donnie caught my attention a bit. It's like the animation wasn't as bad as I had initially thought. It's like the intensity they conveyed was starting to appeal to me. It's like it was somewhat entertaining. It's like I was starting to like the characters a bit and was beginning to identify and even understand them.

And suddenly, even though I kept insisting to myself that I didn't like this new version, I started watching some random episodes of the series... until I began watching them in order... and then I would rewatch some episodes that I had liked... I mean, it's just that there was no one to stop me and I had to stop fooling myself! The rottmnt version had many different things, but it was very well-crafted and very good. Of course, I loved it! And currently, for me, it undoubtedly surpasses the tmnt 2012 version by many reasons that I won't comment on this text.

When the official content of rottmnt ran out, I needed more. So I searched on the internet... and suddenly I got caught up in some fan-made comics... and then I found myself on Tumblr... and then I started to become interested in more versions and began watching them (like the first season of tmnt 1987, some episodes of tmnt 2003, I watched the tmnt 2007 movie again as well as Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I didn't mention, but I had seen before because I had a certain period in my life when I loved Batman).

And all of that was at the beginning of the year 2023, because then the trailer for the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem appeared, which was going to be released in a few months. I had no idea that a new version was coming out that year, and it came just in time to keep increasing my fan skills. Of course, I went to see it in the cinema and loved it, although rottmnt is still my favorite version.

And nowadays, in 2024, I still feel like one of my central thoughts is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I want to keep learning more about them, both the old versions and the new ones that are coming. And I really look forward to continuing to contribute my bit to the fandom with this account. Hopefully, this will also be the year when I can finally watch tmnt 2003 properly.

And it's funny, because suddenly I know many references from many versions and I love that, although I know I have a lot to catch up on. For now, I've never stepped into the realm of comics, and I still don't know if I ever will.

Because I'm just a fan, and those of us who are fans of something should be so on our own terms, without the pressure of anything or anyone.

I've run out of words and I don't know how to conclude this text, but if you've made it this far, wow, I'm impressed! I send you lots of greetings and good vibes, just as Mondo Gecko would say.

SIW AUDIO BOOK Chapter 1 - Sneak Peak

This is a test. :) For a little while now, I have been getting comments to turn my tmnt story,  " The Strength in Weakness " into an audio book. And I prayed about it for a good amount of time, as well if God wanted me to try. So eventually, I decided to give it a shot. :) This is the result! If this video reaches 1,000 views by May 10th, then I'll continue making my story into an animated audio book. :)

Hey I'm not dead

But this is a dying acc.

BUT GO VOTE FOR CARDINAL RULES HERE

IT WOULD GIVE ME MUCH JOY

Call your tmnt friends!!

[izzytheturtleboomslang]

What annoys me the most are those moments when you find out that so-called friends are not friends.

A few months ago I had a good artist friend who I had known for about 4 years. At least that's what I thought...

But it turned out that I was partly just a gap filler for this person... and also a kind of outlet for their own frustration...

I ended up breaking off the friendship...

Well....

Here's a little scene sketch of how Robin and his buddy Marshall met each other for the first time.

Lost Ties TMNT Concept Sketches

Have finally read Last Ronin, it killed me, but it's the first actual tmnt comic l've read, very good.

Then I thought about how (as far as I'm aware) the official comics have yet to have an actual seperated storyline, so I took up the challenge to try and make a seperated tmnt AU similar in style to the darker IDW and Last Ronin comics cuz l've been experimenting with tons of styles lately

Very bare bones right now, but these sketches show the different groups the story focuses on: Jennika and Raph, cuz I have yet to tackle a sister character for the turtles in any of my stories.

Tang Shen, Karai, and Mikey cuz Tang Shen deserved better and I like the idea of the turtles having some kind of mother figure.

Donnie, Casey, and April. Think they've only met a bit recently as Donnie was more of a scavenger before stumbling upon April's shop or something.

Finally Leo and Shredder cuz we needed some edgy pairing, so here's the classic. I wanted to avoid this cuz it was so obvious, but it's classic and someone needs to end up with a villain, so here we go.

Splinter is still part of the plot, just kind of MIA. Hope you enjoy and I'll get more of this AU out soon (not abandoning any of my others, my brain just won't stop pumping out ideas).

Story title "Dibs"

Short lil thing I wrote about the turtles being immature. (Nothing serious so no tags just idiots being idiots)

In the lair of the Ninja Turtles, the brothers were getting ready for a road trip. They were all excited to be going together, but there was one problem - they were all arguing over who got to sit next to Mona Lisa in the Turtle Truck.

The Turtle Truck was spacious, but it was no secret that the seats closest to Mona Lisa were always the warmest. She was always so warm to the touch, and the brothers found themselves gravitating towards her whenever they could.

Leonardo, always trying to be the peacemaker, suggested that they pick numbers to decide who got to sit next to Mona. But that only seemed to make things worse, as each brother tried to pick a number that would give them the highest chance of winning arguing over their number choices like children.

Raphael, the most competitive of the bunch, refused to take part in the number choosing game. "This is ridiculous," he growled. "I'm gonna sit wherever I want."

Donatello, who was always the mediator, tried to calm things down. "Come on, guys," he said. "We're all going to enjoy the trip together. It doesn't matter who sits where." he smiled "buuutt since I fixed the truck I think it's only fair she sits next to me"

Leo wrinkled his brow letting out a huff before rubbing his snout ridge "why don't we ask Mona who she wants to sit next to?"

Raph laughed "grate idea! oh leader of ours, she's gonna choose me no questions"

"actually I'm pretty sure she likes sitting at the front...which would mean she would choose Donnie" Leo smirked almost pointedly at Raph

"then I call dibs" Raph shrugged looking proud of himself like a teen who just stuck into his teacher.

"Raph you cant call dibs on Mona"

"uh yeah I can, she's MY woman" Raph scowled jabbing a finger into Leo's chest

"uhhh no, Mikey already called dibs yesterday and I said no...if I let you call it then technically Mikey beat you to it..."

Michelangelo loved to tease his brothers, couldn't resist stirring the pot. "I heard that whoever sits next to Mona gets to nap on her lava core," he quipped. "No wonder you're all fighting over it but I already calls dibs"

Raphael gave a stern look to his youngest brother "you can't call dibs on my girlfriend Mikey"

Mikey gave Raph a confused look almost about to retort but was lost for words at the hyprocracy spilling from his brother's mouth.

As they continued to argue, Mona Lisa watched from a distance, amused by their antics. She knew they were all just acting out because the trip was going to be cold and sitting next to her had become something of a competition between them.

Donny pipes up trying come to a conclusion "We'll take turns sitting next to each other. That way, everyone gets a turn to sit next to everyone else, and we won't have to argue over it."

"what a good idea Donatello" master splinter walked in with Mona the two had just been discussing the trip over tea, before over hearing the turtles argument "but I already called dibs"

Donatello sighed to himself, setting down the file. He would never admit it, not even to himself, but he found it weirdly endearing for you to document him like this.

He had noticed you paying extra close attention to him lately and how you jot things down in your little notepad, whether he was just working in his lab or just hanging out.

Donnie knew it was wrong to look at your personal stuff, but when he saw the file with his name in your backpack after you left it in the lair he couldn’t help his curiosity.

He checked the time in his tech gauntlet, before grabbing his favorite pen. He could spare a few minutes.

[starrayblogs]

Please hsc tmnt2012 x reader in which the reader, during an argument, impulsively tells the turtle that he is a monster/mutant/mistake something like that, immediately realizes it and apologizes profusely, how do they react

ohhhh i've read so many scenarios like this back in like 2016 and they were the WORST– like they made me feel so horrible reading them because why would you call my boys that!!?

anyway, history repeats itself so i hope you get sad over this one too teehee. if someone asks for a reconciliation to this hcs, i'll probably do it :D

anyway, likes and reblogs are appreciated!

pairings: (2012) leonardo x reader, raphael x reader, donatello x reader, and michelangelo x reader (gender neutral)

will include: angst

The mission went wrong in all possible ways. You had messed up your part of the mission and it ended up jeopardizing the entire plan. To add, you were injured in the battle and your favorite turtle had to come save you.

You were beginning to wish he hadn't.

He was lecturing you in his room, telling you all the things you should've done, should've avoided, and he just kept going on and on with this and that. You tried to defend yourself too.

However, it just became a pointless argument. You were heated and, then, you said something you didn't mean to...

Leonardo

"What did you expect, Leo!? I'm just a human with regular human abilities! You're a freak!" You yelled, standing up from his bed and pointing a finger at him.

You gasp. Your hands quickly cover your mouth as your face paints with guilt.

Leo blinks his eyes at you for a bit before dipping his head down. "Please, leave," he turns his back to you before pointing to the direction of his door. "Leave right now." He orders quietly.

when you finally leave the room, he rushes to the door and slides down with his shell against it. this way, you can't push his door open. not when he's pushing up against it

leo is the type to dwell on situations until it's been resolved. from what you yelled at him that night, this would never resolve

he makes sure to keep himself hidden as much as possible when you're down in the sewer after that. which is mostly locking himself in his room to meditate instead of the dojo.

if he does happen to bump into you, he does everything to hide his face at least before slipping back in the shadows. like freaks are used to do

he doesn't have the confidence to confront you either. he's fully convinced that when you don't try to talk to him again, that you really think he's a freak. that you don't want him in your life

every time that he meditates, all he can think about was the time you called him a freak. every time that he spars, all he can think of was that. it occupies his thoughts so badly

it makes him act irrational on patrols; he would yell at his brothers at the slightest slip up or beat up a kraangdroid longer than he should, and then he sees it-

his reflection in the metal. eyes white, teeth bared, and mask furrowed. he blinks and stumbles back as a cry locks itself in the middle of his throat. you were right, he is a freak

Raphael

"I'm injured, Raph! I'm clearly not in the mood to be scolded right now! What kind of monster do you have to be!?" You scream at him, jabbing a finger to his chest momentarily.

"Wha- monster!?" He growls.

"Yeah, yeah you are! You're a big, big, horrible, and rude monster!!!" You blow up in his face. He releases a sharp 'ha!' and grabs you by your shoulders, to which you grab him by the wrists.

It's no use pushing him back, considering he's much stronger. So the argument ends with you overlapping each other as Raph pushes you outside his room.

Only then do you realize what you said to him when he releases your shoulders. You were so blinded by your own anger than you didn't see the small shine in his eyes. Tears.

"Raph-" The door slams in your face.

he listens for your footsteps to tell if you've left or not. once you're gone, he tears up his room.

the entire sewer city of new york could probably hear him break his punching dummy, ripping comics, and screaming his lungs out. they hear everything but one thing, which is him crying

he spends his days going through different sewer pipes because his family got tired of him breaking things in the lair. he spends his day blaming you; telling himself that you were the one in the wrong

but at night, when he's tired himself out from wrecking and crying, he takes it all back. you were right, he is a monster

raph is the type to beat his sadness out to pass it off as anger until his tired and admits himself that he is sad. he's sad that you see him that way, and that you were correct

when he hears you're in the lair at night, he goes silent. he's the type to not want to be seen or heard by you again, because he's afraid that he'll just show you just how much of a monster he is again

Donatello

"Why don't you just go bug off, Donnie?! I'm sure an animal like yourself can do that!" In your outburst, you accidentally knock over a beaker. When it shatters on the ground, you realize what you've said.

You look to the turtle. He looked so sad. His mask was slightly furrowed, his mouth just a tad open, and his eyes glossy. He didn't look just sad, no– he looked hurt. You open your mouth to explain yourself, but he speaks first.

"Excuse me..." Donnie leaves the room with his head down.

donnie's obviously the type to drown himself in work to try and think about anything but the problem

however, he drowns himself in work for you. he tries to make trinkets, machines, and other sorts of gifts in hopes that you would forgive him when he gives it

but every time, without fail, he works on these projects, he hears you calling him an animal

he can't possibly do anything by himself, like an animal. he can only be reckless and thoughtless, like an animal.

animal, animal, animal- he didn't notice how loud his thoughts were and how it overtook his actions. he broke the gift he was making in the middle of it.

he cries about it for hours. and that's the cycle everyday. he tries to make a gift but he ends up breaking it because he gets in over his head, and he cries until he's tired

when he hears you down at the lair, he slides his bo in between the lab's doors. he cages himself inside that room, because, just like you said, he's an animal

Michelangelo

"You don't stop talking, do you, Mikey? Blah blah blah, ugh– you big-mouthed mutant!" You yell at him. You're panting heavily as he stared at you from the other side of the room. Silence.

Oh no.

"Mutant?" Mikey echoes your words, shakily. He had tears in his eyes but he closes them. He shakes his head and grabs a comic book, throwing it in your direction.

"Mikey, wai-"

"No! Get out my room!" His voice cracks in the middle of begging. He keeps throwing the nearest object near him at you, in an effort to push you out the room without touching you. "Get out!" His final cry has you dashing out the lair.

mikey loses all color in his personality after that. he would spend hours and hours at a time on his bed, curling himself up in a ball while crying

he never thought you saw him like that. he thought you were the pepperoni on his pizza, that you paired perfectly together. that's why you got along so well

his brothers try to get him back on his feet by inviting him back into his hobbies, but every time he would try- he'd start crying in the middle of it

because he'd think of how you two would do that activity together, but now all he can think of was that you saw him as a mutant. he's not human, so why is he doing these activities like he was?

whenever you two bump into each other at the lair, he tucks into his shell. he can hear you calling his name, but he doesn't pop out. that would show you more just how inhuman he is, how he's a mutant

mikey is the type to shut you out and refuse to interact with you. after all he's a mutant, and you're a human

what kind of pair is that? the imperfect one, he tells himself as he cries and curls into himself on his bed

Mi historia con las Tortugas Ninja

[English]

Cuando salí de preescolar, me regalaron a mí la mascota de la clase: una tortuga de orejas rojas (hoy en día tiene casi 20 años conmigo y hasta tiene una compañera parecida). A partir de ese instante, las tortugas se han convertido en parte de mi identidad. Si me preguntaban por mi animal favorito, obvio que respondía que las tortugas. Son animales muy interesantes que sí interactúan entre sí y con los humanos; tienen una perseverancia de envidia, una curiosidad enorme y habilidades tipo ninja (son rápidas, silenciosas y les gusta escalar, aventarse y hacer acrobacias bien extrañas).

Pues bueno, el día de hoy más bien quiero contarles mi historia con las tortugas ninja y cómo es que llegué a este fandom. En realidad, es una historia algo larga, pero tiene detalles muy graciosos, y así me pueden conocer un poco mejor.

Entonces, como las tortugas siempre han sido parte de mi vida, para mí debió ser natural conocer a las tortugas ninja desde muy pequeña, así que me tocaba conocerlas en la versión de tmnt 2003. Y sí, por supuesto que me aparecieron en televisión y me picó la curiosidad que los protagonistas fueran tortugas… pero la serie no conectó conmigo.

Cuando eres pequeño, lo que necesitas son historias con las que puedas identificarte de una u otra manera, por eso es por lo que las mejores historias siempre van a ser las que son más diversas en todos los sentidos posibles. Y claro que cualquier versión de las tortugas ninja ya es de por sí una carta hacia la aceptación de lo diferente, es decir, que promueve la diversidad. Pero esto no fue suficiente para mí en ese entonces.

Yo era una niña que quería ver cosas de niña, programas en los que hubiera personajes femeninos interesantes. Y, sinceramente, lo poco que había visto de tmnt 2003 (si acaso unas pocas escenas de un capítulo), solo divisé personajes masculinos a excepción de Abril, que era adulta (así que mejor me la pasaba viendo Los jóvenes titanes). Eso sí, ya tenía identificada a mi tortuga favorita: la que tenía antifaz morado, por el simple hecho de ser mi color favorito; curioso que eso no haya cambiado.

Cuando tenía casi la edad de las tortugas ninja, se estrenó la serie en Nickelodeon de tmnt 2012. Tampoco captó mi atención. Sin embargo, mi hermana L, casi tres años menor que yo, me insistió en que lo viera. Así que lo vi… y supongo que me encantó. Porque así fue como comenzó mi historia con las tortugas ninja. Así las conocí.

Mi hermana L y yo siempre estábamos al pendiente de cuándo pasaban la serie en la televisión; literalmente corríamos para verla, para asegurarnos de no perdernos de nada. Y confirmé que mi tortuga favorita era Donnie, pero en realidad me encantaban todos.

Pocos años después, se estrenó la película de Tortugas Ninja (2014)… no la pude ver en el cine, pero me tenía muy emocionada, a pesar de que sabía que no tenía nada que ver con la versión tmnt 2012 (con la que estaba muy enganchada), y por eso me decepcionó un poco. Además, odié cómo sexualizaban a Abril.

Así que sí… se podía decir que estaba obsesionada con las tortugas ninja, y aunque yo no me había dado cuenta de hasta qué punto, mis padres y mis dos hermanas sí, por lo que mi fiesta de 16 años (solo con estas personas) fue de esta temática sorpresa. Inflaron globos verdes, los colgaron y les pusieron antifaces de los colores correspondientes, y comimos pizza. En mi pastel pusieron a un juguete de un mini Donatello 2012 que aún conservo. Ahora que lo pienso, fue una íntima y muy linda fiesta… sin embargo, a mí no me gusta mostrar mis gustos, por lo que en ese momento sí me sentí incómoda y me atreví a expresar que hubiera preferido una fiesta normal, en vez de expresar lo increíble que fue, porque realmente fue increíble. (¿Qué les puedo decir? Aunque yo siempre he sido bien portada y nunca causé problemas de ningún tipo, también fui adolescente).

En ese entonces, yo seguía siguiendo la serie tmnt 2012, y usaba el internet para estar al pendiente de cada nuevo capítulo. Llegué a un punto en el cual me volví impaciente y tenía que ver los capítulos en cuanto se estrenaban, es decir, tenía que apresurarme a verlos en YouTube antes de que tumbaran los videos, aunque eso significaba verlos en inglés y de mala calidad.

Yo tenía un pésimo nivel de inglés y no entendía prácticamente nada. Pero hacer esto elevó mucho mi nivel y también empecé a tomarme seriamente mis clases de inglés en la escuela para entender los episodios. Sin exagerar, todo lo que sé de inglés es gracias a las tortugas ninja. Hoy en día poseo un nivel intermedio muy sólido, y todavía sigo mejorando gracias a ellas.

Al estar todavía en ese nivel de obsesión por las tortugas ninja, obviamente que busqué más en el internet, en YouTube, específicamente. En uno de esos videos de tantos que vi, me aparecieron escenas de la versión tmnt 2007 que me llamaron mucho la atención. Esa rivalidad, esa batalla tan épica entre Leo y Rafa, me atrapó. Así que vi esa película y, aunque en general no me pareció buena por varios motivos, sí me llegó mucho la historia entre los hermanos.

Pero regresemos a la versión tmnt 2012. El final de la tercera temporada fue de los finales más impactantes que he visto jamás. Y cuando se estrenó la cuarta temporada y las tortugas estaban en el espacio… fue justo ahí cuando perdí el interés. Y realmente no sé por qué, si a mí me gusta mucho la ciencia ficción y todo lo que tenga que ver con el universo. Tal vez fue porque dejé de entender lo que estaba pasando (recuerden que veía los capítulos en inglés). No lo sé.

Después de eso, de vez en cuando me entraba nostalgia y curiosidad respecto a esta serie, así que veía uno que otro capítulo suelto (en general, no soy buena viendo series, soy capaz de ver únicamente los capítulos que me llaman la atención sacrificando el entendimiento de la trama general). Y cuando me enteré de que finalizó, busqué los últimos tres capítulos de la quinta temporada… y me dejaron muy mal con ese final distópico desesperanzador, pero realista. Es horrible, pero supongo que eso fue lo que más me gustó. Admitámoslo, a todos nos gusta ser masoquistas.

Después, medio vi que se había estrenado una nueva versión con colores demasiado vibrantes para mi gusto y una animación 2D con demasiada hiperactividad que no me llamó la atención. Sí, estoy hablando de la versión de rottmnt, estrenada en 2018. Hoy en día no saben cuánto me arrepiento de no haberle prestado atención.

Pasaron los años y llegó el 2023. A inicios de ese año me di cuenta de que teníamos Paramount+, y que eso significaba que estaba la serie tmnt 2012, en español, completo. Y mi hermana menor R no la había podido ver porque había sido demasiado pequeña en su momento. Así que me dieron ganas de presentársela, y así yo podía ver toda la serie de la manera correcta.

Fue como ver un maratón: la terminamos toda en menos de dos meses, a pesar de nuestras diversas ocupaciones (ella escuela y yo trabajo, que además era muy difícil coincidir en horarios). De repente, mi obsesión volvió, muy intensa. Ha sido la única vez que una misma obsesión la tenga en dos etapas muy diferentes de mi vida. Pero todavía no estaba abierta a conocer nuevas versiones.

(Se van a reír de lo que pasó a continuación).

Mi hermana L, la que me introdujo en un principio a las tortugas ninja, como vio que disfruté reencontrarme con ellas, me insistió en que viera la película de la versión de rottmnt, que estaba en Netflix; que según estaba muy intensa y bien, que valía mucho la pena, pero que tenía que verla con la mente muy abierta porque tenía muchos cambios radicales.

Muy a mi pesar, súper negada y con la mente lo más cerrada posible, vi esta película. Y sí, muy intensa y todo, pero concluí que no me gustó nada. No sentí que esas eran mis tortugas. A pesar de eso, la volví a ver… y luego otra vez y otra vez más. Como que el personaje de Donnie me llamó un poco la atención. Como que la animación no estaba tan mal como había creído en un principio. Como que la intensidad que transmitían me comenzaba a gustar. Como que sí estaba algo divertida. Como que los personajes me comenzaban a agradar un poco y los empezaba a identificar e incluso a comprender.

Y, de repente, a pesar de que yo seguía insistiéndome a mí misma que no me gustaba esta nueva versión, comencé a ver algunos capítulos sueltos de la serie… hasta que comencé a verlos en orden… y luego volvía a ver algún que otro capítulo que me había gustado… ¡es que ya no había quién me pare y debía de dejar de engañarme a mí misma! La versión de rottmnt tenía muchas cosas diferentes, pero estaba muy cuidada y era muy buena. ¡Claro que me encantó! Y actualmente, para mí, sin lugar a duda supera con creces la versión de tmnt 2012 por muchas razones que no comentaré en este texto.

Cuando el contenido oficial de rottmnt se me acabó, tuve la necesidad de más. Así que busqué en internet… y de repente me atraparon algunos cómics hechos por fans… y luego me vi entrando a Tumblr… y luego me empezaron a llamar la atención más versiones y empecé a verlas (como la primera temporada de tmnt 1987, algunos episodios de tmnt 2003, volví a ver la película de tmnt 2007 al igual que la de Batman vs. Las Tortugas Ninja, que no lo mencioné, pero que esta sí la había visto antes debido a que tuve cierto momento en mi vida en el que me encantaba Batman).

Y todo eso a principios del año 2023, porque luego apareció el tráiler de la película Tortugas Ninja: Caos Mutante, que se iba a estrenar en pocos meses. Yo no tenía ni idea de que iba a salir una nueva versión ese año, y cayó justo en el momento para seguir aumentando mis habilidades como fan. Claro que la fui a ver al cine y me encantó, aunque rottmnt sigue siendo mi versión favorita.

Y hoy en día, que estamos en 2024, sigo sintiendo que uno de mis pensamientos centrales son las tortugas ninja, y tengo ganas de seguir conociendo más sobre ellas, tanto las viejas versiones como las nuevas que vienen. Y tengo muchas ganas de seguir compartiendo mi granito de arena al fandom con esta cuenta. Ojalá también que este sea el año en el que al fin pueda ver bien tmnt 2003.

Y es chistoso, porque de repente conozco muchas referencias de muchas versiones y me encanta eso, aunque sé que me falta mucho. Más que, por ahora, no he pisado nunca el terreno de los cómics, y aún no sé si algún día pasará.

Porque solo soy una fan, y los que somos fans de algo debemos serlo bajo nuestros propios términos, sin la presión de nada ni de nadie.

Se me acabaron las palabras y no sé cómo concluir este texto, pero si llegaron hasta aquí, ¡guau, me impresionan! Les mando muchos saludos y buenas vibras, justo como diría Mondo Gecko.

This is so adorable!

Love bites (Raph, Donnie, Leo, Mikey x Reader HCS)

((All characters are depicted as 18+ unless stated otherwise)) I FINALLY got this done! This has been in my drafts for a w h i l e and I'm so glad to be able to share it! technically suggestive??, biting, jealousy, love bites/marks, cuddling ------------------------------------------------ Raph: - He is an alligator snapping turtle, biting is what his species is known for! - He has chew toys hidden around his room so he can have something to bite into whenever he gets the urge, or when he gets frustrated so he doesn't grind his teeth together fighting the urge to bite. He has a very strong bite force and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. - But with you, as soon as you gave the okay for him to bite you he was a little hesitant. You wanted him to bite you? You were okay with it? He could take out your whole shoulder if he really wanted to! - It'd take a little for him to get used to the fact that you were okay with being bitten, but soon he is more than happy to do so. Biting is one of his love languages, and to be able to do it to you without worry of you getting upset really soothed him. - He is extra careful when biting you, starting off with gentle nips and nibbles along your shoulders when you two are cuddling in his room. Every time he thinks he may have gotten a bit hard on a particular nip he will kiss the spot and ask if you are alright, looking at you with the biggest puppy dog eyes. - The only time he would be less gentle in his biting is if he's jealous. Raph is not one to get jealous super easily, nor let it show. He trusts you completely, but sometimes when the person trying to hit on you is just not getting the hint that you are not only not interested but taken- he could only feel the steam coming from his nostrils as he huffs and glared at the person. Afterwards, when you are both are alone- Raph will suddenly pull you by the waist back into his plastron, he head leaning down and snout nuzzled against the side of your neck. "Uh.. Raph?" You ask, glancing at him through the corner of your eye, "Are you okay big guy?" There's a brief moment of hesitation, before there is a sharp pain searing into the spot between your neck and shoulder; making you inhale sharply and wince. - Yeah.. you needed a bit of bandages after that. His teeth had broken skin and had you bleeding. The poor guy felt so bad, apologizing frantically as he patched you up. You had to constantly reassure him that was alright, despite his many protests that no it was not alright. He clung onto you for the rest of the night, mumbling apologies and kissing the bandages every chance he could. - Yet despite his immense guilt for hurting you, he couldn't help the sense of pride he got whenever he saw the mark once the bandages came off. It was a physical sign that you were his, and now everyone could see it. - And if you ever bite back? Oh you will have a very flustered and smitten turtle on your hands. Donnie: - He isn't much of a biter. At least.. at first. - Donnie has a bit of difficulty showing physical affection at times, even more so verbally expressing it. Which is why his main go to of showing love is gift giving. - When you both started dating, there was a long adjustment period of getting comfortable with getting physically affectionate past platonic gestures. It started small, linking each other's pinkies together when you thought no one was paying attention and holding hands when you slept together in place of cuddling. Times in the morning where a very sleepy soft shell will come up beside you as you prepared coffee for you both and gently bunt his head against yours as a greeting as he picked up his mug and headed towards his lab.

- It had progressed steadily and soon you often found yourself being the stress toy for your purple clad lover. He had found it actually much easier to work while you were on his lap, so that's where you stayed most of the time when he had projects to work on but also wanted to spend time with you. You would face him, your legs wrapped loosely around his waist and arms hugging his middle as he had his head rested on your shoulder to peer down at whatever he was tinkering with that day. His claws would gently run up and down your spine in a mindless manner, and when he got frustrated his hands would come up to your love handles and squeeze while he tried to find a work around. - One of these times, he had gotten a bit too frustrated. He had been working on a new upgrade for Shelldon, but nothing he did seemed to turn out the way he wanted. You were half asleep on his lap at this point, having been there quite a while at this rate. That's when you felt his teeth sink into the flesh of your shoulder. - He didn't break skin, but his canines dug into your shoulder just enough to leave a little bruising mark. The feeling was enough to make you jolt slightly with a little yelp, startling Donnie in turn. - He pulled away and looked at you quizzically, not seeming to grasp what exactly had happened at first. Then he takes notice of the mark forming on your shoulder and the man short circuits. - Is quick to apologize and offer to get you an icepack to help the bruising through his own flustered state, stammering and tripping over his words. Yet, his grip is firm- keeping you in place on his lap, like he was afraid you would try to get off after he bit you. - He had chalked it up to simply being apart of his more animalistic instincts, a side he is normally the best at repressing compared to his brothers (at least he tells himself that). Still, he tries to take precautions to avoid making the same error. Unless you encourage the behavior, then he is more lenient towards allowing the action to repeat. Just more gently from now on. - His bites are rare, but when they do come they are gentle and almost teasing depending on the situation. His favorite places to nibble is along your collarbone and sometimes the lobe of your ear. - The only time he will deliberately leave lasting marks is out of jealousy, and as we all know the soft shell is very quick to get jealous. Expect to be covered in marks for the next two weeks.

Leo: - Leo would actually be revealed to be a bit of a biter early on in the relationship, a split moment while you both were play wrestling that he had turned his head suddenly and sunk his teeth into the skin of your wrist while you had him pinned. It had caught you off guard, long enough for the slider to get the advantage and over power you. The next second you found yourself on your back with a very smug turtle straddling your waist. - It didn't seem to click for him at first just what he had done, only as he opened his mouth to tease did he notice the flabbergasted expression on your face did it sink in that he had actually bit you. - His eyes darted from the faint mark forming on your wrist to your face a couple times, looking equally as shocked- only his face definitely felt ten times warmer. - He would try to play it off at first, saying that you two never agreed not to bite, so it was still fair game. "All is fair in love and war, mi vida.~" - The biting would not happen again for a while after that, and Leo would get slightly embarrassed every time you try to bring it up in a teasing manner. Bringing it up in a playful tone that you wouldn't mind being bitten, this only served to make the slider more flustered. - Next time he bites you however, is during a sleepover at your apartment. You both had decided to have a cozy night in, cuddled up on your bed and watching movies through whatever streaming services you have. - You were staring blankly at the screen, trying to fight the effect that gravity was having on your eye lids. Leo was behind you, holding you against his plastron- his snout nuzzled into the crook between your neck and shoulder. You could feel his soft breathing against your skin; not quite enough to lead you to believe that he was asleep, but still gentle. - Slowly, his snout trailed upwards- grazing the corner of your jaw as he moved. You didn't think much of it, assuming he may be simply adjusting slightly to get in a more comfortable position- that was until you felt the tips of his canines catch onto the lobe of your ear, tugging and biting gently. - The squeal that left your mouth is still something Leo laughs about to this day. Your flustered and embarrassed reaction to such an innocent test was hilarious, or so he would say. You would heavily beg to differ on multiple of those points. - Once establishing your comfort with his biting, Leo will bite regularly. Not nearly as much as Raph or Mikey per say, but close. More often than not it's more just to get a reaction out of you, he just loves how red your face gets to the simple actions. Other times to have a physical marker that you were his, even if the bites were only in places that he could see. The action still mattered. Oh don't worry, he would never bite you in public. Only behind closed doors when you both are alone. - If he ever bit you out of jealousy, much like Donnie those marks would be e v e r y w h e r e- and not going away anytime soon. He trusts you completely, but apparently other people won't take the hint that you were his unless they saw you covered in his marks. He takes satisfaction in their reactions and defeat. Only he was your champion, no one else.

Mikey: - Biting is also what Box turtles are known for! It's a form of a courting/mating gesture for his species. - I'd say he'd bite you early on into the relationship in the form of soft nibbles, more playful than anything. Say he has you in his arms and he buried his snout into the crook of your neck, he'll gently nibble at your flesh in-between kisses to fluster you. He thinks your adorable flustered! - It's hard to say if he would ever say why he bites you. He would only answer if you asked him directly about it, as to then he would sheepishly admit what it means to him. If you're uncomfortable with it he will gladly stop though! - If you encourage the behavior however, or even go as far as to bite him back at some point? Oh, he just fell even harder! - His favorite spots are your shoulders, thighs and the tips of your ears, you make the cutest squeaks when his canines nip at your earlobe and he just can't get enough! - His bites will become more frequent during cuddle sessions or play fighting to gain the upper hand, you can't tell me this man would not use tricks to catch you off guard- - Despite it all however, he would be rather gentle with his bites. He knows his teeth are sharp, and he doesn't want to accidentally hurt you. But from time to time he will get a bit rougher and leave marks. He will make sure to apologize if it starts bleeding, immediately offering to patch it up. He isn't as panicked as Raph is, but still worries. - Jealousy is a whole different matter. Mikey trusts you, he really does! But those flirting with you just don't seem to understand that you are taken sometimes.. perhaps a few lasting marks will fix that! - This sneaky bastard will make sure some of his bites are hard to cover up, wanting people to see them. To see who you belong to. - But overall he is very sweet and caring with his affections towards you, no matter what form they take.

TW : Medical based fears, PTSD, nightmares, needles

CHAPTER 7 - Leo's Promise

After taking some time to prep in the Med Bay, Leo was finally satisfied with his work station. He got out his phone and texted Don.

' Hey. All set here. Can you bring the girl mutant to the Med Bay? '

Don was quick to respond in a matter of a little less than two seconds.

' Yeup. And thanks to a quick conversation, I'm now aware that her name's Lotus. '

' Oh. Got it. Thanks. '

' *thumb that is up* '

Leo tucked away his phone, and checked over his mental and physical checklist for the fourth time. Everything was accounted for and ready to go. Just how he liked it. He gave a small smile looking down on his hard work. The moment of pride was briefly cut short by the sounds of footsteps coming to the Med Bay door.

Raph emerged through the door with Lotus slumped over his shoulder. Somehow she looked even worse compared to a few hours ago, with her spindly legs shaking and her eye lids barely holding themselves open. Despite the many hours she had been sleeping, she still looked exhausted. Deep lines were etched under her eyes..

Leo's excitement and sheer pride of his prepared work space vanished in a blink. His eyes fell on Lotus like a little girl looking down at a wilted flower. His anxiety decided this was the best time to rear it's ugly head and make itself known. He felt the sticky sensation of sweat forming on his forehead, and he had to hold his hands under his arm pits to hide the obvious shivering.

' Calm down. Everything's fine. Can't look like I'm not confident in my field. I. Am. The. Medic. I can do this.. I can help her. '

Leo took as subtle of a deep breath as he could to help calm his nerves. He, as his brothers liked to call it, "turned on his Medic Mode", searching over Lotus for the many injuries and wounds he would need to treat. His eyes winced as he noticed just how skinny she was.. Her legs and arms looked as though there was no muscle wrapped around the bone, but instead just a tight layer of flesh. Her thighs and crooks of her elbows were covered in all sorts of bruises, which Leo guessed was from the experimentation..

His train of thought went careening off the track by the loud THUD from Lotus fully collapsing, barely being caught by Raph. Her body was now completely limp, but her eyes fluttered with consciousness. Don came running through the hall into the Med Bay and helped support Lotus with his twin. After Raph balanced her, he turned his gaze to Leo.

" BRO- Where do you want her?? "

" On the table! Here! " Leo gestured to the surgical table with a small grey pillow and the flimsy medical blanket. Raph and Don nodded and gently lifted Lotus onto the table, Don being quick to tuck his hand underneath her head onto the pillow.

Lotus' mind was swimming in a murky lake as she panted from exhaustion. She internally cursed herself and her body for failing to make it through the STINKIN HALLWAY before embarrassingly falling into the arms of Rapha- RAPH.

' COULDN'T EVEN WALK TEN STEPS. WHAT A WEAK, PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A- "

Her nose sensed something...familiar. She took a deep whiff.

Disinfectant. Rubbing Alcohol.

' NO... '

Fear flooded her heart like a tidal wave. Her breathing became raspy and shallow as she began hyperventilating. Her limbs began to shake as if she were in negative degree weather.

' NO... PLEASE NO... '

Nightmares disguised as memories plagued her mind, flashing in and out with every shaky breath. Everything in her SCREAMED TO RUN.

TO ESCAPE.

Her heart seemed to try to pump out of her chest.

" No.. NO. NO! NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!!! "

Lotus used what tiny amount of strength she had left to kick and wave her arms.

" PLEASE LET ME GO!!! "

Her eyes burned with stinging tears as Don and Raph grabbed and held down her thrashing limbs.

" LOTUS!! It's OK!! " Don stated.

" I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!!!!! "

Lotus' screams tore into her throat. Those same ghosts of her memories taunted her, encouraging her to continue crying out for help.

" LOTUS!! Leo is going to HELP you!! " Don shouted. He could see he was losing her to her fantasy. The phantoms of her past were succeeding at smearing her reality.

' I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. '

" You are safe! Leo will NOT hurt you..." Don spoke boldly but still with a calmness in his tone, " YOU CAN TRUST HIM. He's doing this to help you HEAL. He's doing this to take away your pain. " Don targeted his gaze on Lotus' panicked, darting eyes.

" LOTUS. LOOK AT ME. "

The firm words of Donatello broke through the scattered voices in Lotus' mind. She timidly turned her gaze back to him, till their eyes locked.

" LOTUS. You.. are... safe. Everything is ok. " Don's eyes remained grounded and steadfast as he continued to stare into Lotus'.

In her mind, the voices taunted her to not trust the brothers. To run and hide..... But..

.. Lotus couldn't accept that.

She didn't know how or why, but Don's words, she believed, were true. Even though she just met these carapace- covered crackheads like a DAY ago, something in her... almost an instinct... told her she could trust them.

Lotus sank her head onto the pillow, and slowly placed her legs and arms back onto the surgical table.

With her heart still racing, but a very faint peace in her eyes, she turned to Leo. Her whispers clawed at her sore throat, but she didn't let that stop her.

"... Do.. what you must to help me, Leonardo... B-but... P-please..." Tears began to stream down her face as she shakily gulped the bile bubbling up her throat, " .. don't hurt me. "

Leo gave an understanding smile and snapped on his pair of gloves. He used every fiber of his " good big brother " voice he could muster to bring Lotus some comfort.

" I will do my very best Lotus. I promise.. "

Leo's face lit up with a kind smile resulting in Lotus' tense shoulders to relax a bit.

" ..You won't feel a thing. "

As Leo popped off the cap of the first syringe, Lotus' teeth clenched and her body became stiff as a plank.

Years of experimentation never did her any favors in the medical- based fears department..

Her hands crunched down into the blanket under her and her shoulders shot right back up.

The needle came closer.

Lotus' pupils shrank more and more as her eyes continued to widen.

Closer.

Her breath turned into weak huffs.

CLOSER.

Just as she thought her heart would burst from her chest, her pupils dulled, her breath slowed, and her eyes rolled back dropping her into peaceful, quiet darkness.

Don barely made the catch of keeping her head from slamming into the table.

The room went silent.

Raph and Don slowly looked over to Leo, whom now had such shock and guilt stricken all over his face, still standing there holding the syringe.

Raph decided to kill the unbearable silence.

".... Well.. that's ONE way to calm her down.."

Every other conscious being in the room slowly turned their glares at him. Raph's shoulder twitched thanks to another punch from Don.

" WHHHATT??? "

Whooo! That was a long one! :) Story's actually starting to move now!!

If you have any questions about my story or characters, I'd love to hear them! You can go ahead and send me an ask or message! :)

To God be the glory!

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!

Hello! Can I request ROTTMNT Leo and Reader snuggling together scenario?

aww rise leo! one of my favorite leos hehe

likes and reblogs are appreciated as always! :3

pairings: (rise) leonardo x reader (gender neutral)

will include: fluff

"i can't believe you actually bought matching unicorn onesies," he says in between laughs. "Where'd you even get this?"

You laugh as you grab a pizza slice from the box on the floor. "I saw it at this store at the mall, and I begged my parents to buy it." You explain, repositioning yourself back with your snuggle buddy.

It was movie night and it was your turn to pick this weekend. You and Leo do this every night before the weekend proper, watching shows or series while snuggling.

It's not a secret between him and his family, but it's not something you two flaunt about. After a hectic week of high school and a week of ninja duties, the time you two spend together is crucial to cooling down.

"Ah man, snuggle nights just got a whole lot betteeerrr!!" Leo sings, pulling the sleeves of the onesies over his hands before wrapping his arms around your chest.

You smile at his obviousness about liking the onesies. "We can wear it every night we do this." You suggest to the turtle. Your hands come up to pat his arms as you feel his legs intertwine with yours.

"Uh... duh! I thought that was automatic." Leo says dramatically, even waving his hand around in front of you.

You giggle as you raise a bit of the pizza over your shoulder. You feel the turtle take a bite from the slice and you pull away to take your bite.

Snuggle nights really don't get boring for you two. Not when you're spending it with your favorite turtle, who was snuggled up on his bed with you while some random action movie played.
