#donnies angry eyebrows really add a lot

[wrensbrainrot]

i felt like donnie looked a bit lonely so i ended up transforming all his brothers into “tartagas”

i also gave him some eyebrows >:)

[crypticpaw]

Do you have any headcanons for the ROTTMNT guys?

OMG, DO I?!? I have lots, actually!

Leo:

Gay. A fruit. CEO of the skiddle squad. Queerest of all the turtles combined

Donnie's twin and the youngest between them, only older than Mikey

Has really bad insomnia, especially after the movie and the stuff with the Kraang, because of nightmares

Took spanish classes with Señor Hueso just because he though it was cool, but now whenever he gets into an argument with someone he just starts speaking spanish and nobody can understand him

Absolute gossip king, wants to know everything about everyone and if you have any secrets whatsoever, Leo will find out about it, whether you like it or not

On the same note, he's an amazing secret keeper. If you directly ask him to not tell anyone, he won't

That doesn't aply to his own crushes, he will gush and sigh like an idiot under some love-spell, kicking up his legs with his face all red

Red-Eared Sliders actually hiss and huff whenever they get angry, and Leo does too

Dating Usagi

Donnie:

Non-Binary and Bisexual, he/him pronouns

Leo's twin and the oldest between them, only younger than Raph

Sensory seeker autistic with a special interest in technology, but knows about biology too

Also very invested in gossip, will listen to whatever stories Leo brings and add his own too. Donnie, however, could not keep a secret if his life depended on it

The one who actually met April. He was out collecting trash and scraps for his inventions and she followed him, they've been bestest of friends ever since

Pettiest turtle you will ever meet in your life. Seriously, do not piss him off, he will take revenge and you will regret it for the rest of your life

Tried drawing his eyebrows on his skin when he was a tot and had a very bad sensory ick, like, a full shut-down. So he started drawing them on his bandana instead

Sleeps cuddled with Sheldon like he's a stuffed animal

Has the voice of an angel. For real, this guy can sing like a rockstar, sometimes sings outloud as a stim and his brothers just gather around him to hype him up because Donnie is just THAT good!

Raph:

Transgender boy who loves to dress in a more femine style. Paints his nails and knows everything about makeup

Oldest of all the brothers

Has the biggest collection of stuffed animals in New York. They all have names, backstories, personalities and outfits he likes to dress them up with

Roars. Actual, loud, bellowing roars. When Raph let out his first roar as a little tot, Splinter actually thought there was a monster in the lair

Accidentally hurt their father one day while training and cried about it for weeks on end, feels terrible about it to this day

Solves all his problems with his sharp teeth, the power of his bite can crush a grown man in half like a twig

Raph actually has lost a lot of teeth because of this. Donnie had to replace a lot of them and you know he asked for a little extra sharp gold tooth that peeks out of his mouth sometimes

Loves swimming, will toss himself in the nearest body of water that looks deep enough for him, spends the most time in the bath out of all the turtles

Will stop to pet every single dog he sees walking down the streets, even if it's in the middle of a mission

Mikey:

Aroace royalty who don't need no romance!

Youngest of all the brothers

Diagnosed ADHD. Has comited arson and will do it again

His room is covered in stickers and posters from floor to roof, it's diffucult to tell where the walls or doors are

Misses Karai the most. He got so quickly attached to her, sometimes Mikey dreams that she's still there and when he wakes up and realises she's not, he tries to go back to sleep only to start crying

If you ever gift him something you made with your own hands, like a hand-written letter, card, DIY project, he will absolutely die for you no questions asked

An actual contorcionist. Will pull the most mind-blowing circus move you've ever seen in your life mid-battle like it's nothing. This boy has no bones, the most athletic of all his brothers

The first to really reach full potential of his powers and has the better control of it out of the whole family

Also, all of them can retrach into their shells, all of them! I don't know why only Mikey got to do that in the actual show!

[well-its-not-human-anymore]

So this is a personal one for me to ask and if you're not comfortable with it don't mind it; how would the tmnt boys (seperate) react when the reader confesses that they're autistic after the boys got curious when she had some peculiar, behavior or stims. The reader would be stressed, because she has a crush on the tmnt boy in question and she didn't want them to find her weird or just stop interacting with her. When she's met with confusion instead, because the boys never heard of it, cue this weird conversation where reader tells them to the best of her ability what it is and the boys just keep asking questions. Also some general headcannons with it maybe?

Okay so I'm actually really happy that you asked me this because I feel like ASD isn't portrayed a lot in any type of media. My ADD and ASD have a lot of overlap so I hope I can capture what you're asking of me!

Now let's get into it!

TMNT Headcanons

The boys reacting to an autistic reader

Leonardo

he wasn't really sure what was happening the first time you reacted

one minute you were standing next to him doing dishes and the next you were attempting to claw your skin off like an angry cat

Leo tried not to look annoyed as he watched you rub your hands against your shirt until your flesh started to turn red

you looked like you were crying but he knew you weren't

but your face was starting to turn purple and your cheeks were puffy from the effort of holding your breath

"Y/N? You need to breathe."

You shot a glare at him, scathing eyes meeting his now very concerned expression

your own softened and you clutched your arms to your chest, heaving oxygen into your lungs until your face became a normal shade again

"Are you okay?"

The words were stuck in your throat and you weren't sure if you should nod or shake your head

so you gave him a half-hearted shrug

he frowned back at you but turned to finish the dishes on his own

when he questioned you about it later he couldn't help but be curious

"Well actually it's uh- it's kinda a sensory type of thing? There are certain textures that I can't stand touching do I avoid them but if I come into contact by accident my brain just kinda explodes and I shut down."

"How exactly does that work though?"

"I don't really understand it much but like- you know that feeling you get when you think there's a bug on you and there's not but it really really feels like it?"

He nodded

"Yeah, it feels like that. And anytime I touch something that triggers that reaction it takes FOREVER to get the feeling off my skin. That's why I usually wear gloves when I do dishes. Guess I just forgot to grab 'em today."

He was sympathetic

and god, you were so embarrassed

lucky for you, Leo's not an asshole

"Well thank you for explaining it to me, you really freaked me out earlier. I'll talk to April and see if we can keep a pair or two at the lair just in case you forget again."

Consider your heart melted

you couldn't even find the words to thank him and holy shit was your face red

"Hey y/n?"

"Yeah Leo?"

"Why didn't you ever tell me- us that you were autistic?"

Did you rip the band aid off now or make something up? Which would ,technically speaking, be less catastrophic in the long run?

"I uh- I really like you and I really didn't want you or the other's to look at me differently..."

wow, you liked him? miss ma'am you have saved this boy a world of anxiety and damn does he thank you for it

"Thanks for telling me... and y/n? I really like you to."

Awh fuck yeah, best possible execution of band aid-ripping-off ever

Donatello

Donnie wished he could act surprised when you finally told him

he really wanted to, it would've made you feel better for sure

but he sucked at lying and he didn't want to make you feel like he thought you were an idiot

because that was so far from the truth

after going through extensive research on Mikey's behalf when he suspected he had ADHD Donnie had stumbled across many different websites that discussed the symptoms and overlaps between both disorders

to make a long story short, Donnie knew that you had ASD and he was waiting for you to tell him

it would probably come off as rude if he brought it up in conversation right?

he didn't want to risk it

but that didn't stop him from keeping an eye on you and your behaviors

he was a man of science, of course he was going to analyze you

not in a weird way or anything, just as a curious sort of precaution

but the longer you were involved in the turtle's lives the more noticeable your stims and meltdowns got, Donnie did his best to cover for you without making you suspicious of him

eventually he'd come up with something that he hoped would come across as a friendly gesture and wouldn't set you off or scare you away

it was game night at the lair and you, as always, were perched on the arm of the sofa, a large grin plastered on your face

inside your head was exploding but you were masking it pretty well if you do say so yourself

but Donnie was, well... donnie was donnie

so when he noticed you starting to rock a little more visibly he removed his attention from commentating the game and grabbed a pair of headphones from the side table

you were beyond confused when he passed them to you but your face revealed everything

"They're noise cancelling, try them on."

holy shit it was like putting your head underwater, everything was muffled

not in the way normal headphones did, you quite literally couldn't hear anything at all, just a calm amount of nothing

you nearly started crying when you realized that Donnie had figured you out on his own

but you'd never been more relieved about anything in your life

Raphael

he wouldn't admit that he was mesmerized by your presence

you practically radiated calm

his complete opposite

it was his favorite thing about you, because despite your quiet disposition and calming aura you weren't afraid to call him out or rebut any of his insults

this was not something you expected him to appreciate nor was it something you thought would make you catch feelings

but damn if you didn't

he'd been sitting in on yours and Donnie's little experiment for an hour or so now, watching you both exchange quiet whispers and inside jokes that you always seemed to lag on

then you slipped up

not bad, nothing detrimental to the project, just the same mistake that you'd already made ten times over

you might as well have exploded

"Y'N, you just have to move thi-"

"I KNOW DONATELLO. I FUCKING KNOW AND I JUST CAN'T DO THIS BULLSHIT!"

you set everything down gently enough to avoid breaking it before turning and storming out of the lab, waving your hands like they were on fire

Raph and Donnie exchanged a look that sent the larger red turtle following after you

when you calmed yourself down enough to talk you kept your gaze locked on the wall, explaining that you couldn't make eye contact when you were upset

he might not be the smartest brother, but Raph's no dummy, he put those pieces together pretty quickly after you told him that one small detail

he wasn't upset that you didn't tell him and you'd personally never been more relieved

your heart nearly splattered into the stratosphere when you finally gace him your own explanation

"yeah, I like ya too."

you grinned so wide you were sure your face would split open and your entire body rocked side to side with excitement

he thought that was pretty adorable too

And he did stick around to offer a bit of support when you apologized to Donnie for screaming at him

Michaelangelo

to be frank it probably shouldn't have taken so long for Mikey to realize that you were autistic

the similarities between your own personality and his ADHD were so in sight it was near painful

it was his turn to make dinner that night and you'd made sure that you came over early to help him set up, you knew how side-tracked he'd get and you were the poster child for solid routine

what more perfect matchup existed?

trick question, there isn't one

you were on one side of the counter cutting vegetables and he was on the other throwing said vegetables into the mixing pot

the music was at an ungodly level of loud so your only means of communication were screaming over it

"MIKEY."

"WHA?"

"YOU GOT THE-"

"YEAH."

"AND THE-"

"UH HUH."

"COOL, HAVE YOU SEEN THE-"

"TONGS? NO, THE SKEWERS. YEAH, THEY'RE IN THE OTHER DRAWER."

"THANKS."

the two of you went about your previous tasks, thinking nothing of the conversation that had just taken place

at least until you'd begun washing your knife and cutting board

that's when Casey walked in, looking both perturbed and annoyed at the same time

"Alright, which one of you knows telepathy?"

Mikey exchanged a glance with you and you returned it with a raised eyebrow

"The hell you mean brah?"

he looked at the both of you like you were the ones that had grown four extra heads before speaking again

"You literally just had a conversation with like five words and somehow just knew what the other meant? What's up with that?"

you glanced at Mikey again

"Holy shit, did we?"

"I mean, not really. You used your hands."

now all three of you were confused but it quickly became two when Casey shook his head in defeat and left the room

"You know I think he's right."

he blinked first and your staring contest ended

"But you used your hands-"

"I got autism Mikey, one does not simply not use their hands as forms of speech."

"You're-"

"Yep."

was the silence laughing at you? could it do that? it was kinda rude

"Huh, that actually makes sense, that's not mean is it?"

you shook your head no

"You're just me but fast."

Mikey agreed with that, pestered you with a few more questions, and went back about working, as did you, you saw no reason to address it further

but your cheeks burned red

"Yo- Y/N that actually explains why everyone else thinks we're a thing."

you didn't know if you could choke on air or not but you did it anyways

"Are we?"

he gave you his signature grin

"If we are then Raph owes April a hundred bucks."

you returned his smile

"Oh this oughta be good."

I'd like to preface this by apologizing for my near three week absence. Life got crazy and my writer's block hopped on a train, went through a school zone, killed seven pedestrians, and committed tax fraud before tumbling off a cliff never to be seen again.

But on the bright side- I got my SAT scores back and started some scholarship applications. Super happy with that. School's out in a few weeks so I'll be able to write more (hopefully).

Anyways, I hope I got this one down okay. I may have hyper analyzed the request so I might be a little off. But I really enjoyed doing this one and I hope you like it!

You’re not that fast

Pairing: Raphael x reader

Rating?: pg

warnings?: All good here.

word count: 2696

Summary: A scenario where mutants know they’ve found their soulmate when they’re powers or special abilities don’t work on the other soul. How will Raph react to a soulmate, when he first meets her?

A/n: Just realized one of my fav turtles is Raphael and I don’t have a single Fan fic of him! How weird ! well any way, hope you all enjoy and don’t be afriad to reblog

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

You ran all around town until you were tired enough to go to bed. A battle cry on a rooftop made you investigate. Speeding over and checking all of the rooftops nearby in under 30 seconds. When you arrived by the rooftop that gave you full access to the fight that resulted in the shout that caught your attention. As you watched, you couldn’t help but want to help. But how would you be able to tell who was the bad guy?

As you watched, you debated in your head which were the good guys and who were the good guys? A debate started in your head.

‘Well, the woman is controlling all of the robot ninjas.’

“Usually controlling is a bad trait…’

‘But she does smile kinda evil like…’

‘Doesn’t exactly mean that she’s the bad guy.’

‘The four mutant turtles- by the way, I’ve seen a lot of weird things but that’s new- were destroying the robots. That doesn’t mean that they are evil.’

‘The woman is wearing silver, all black with black makeup. Evil?’

Just as one of the turtles attacked the silver wearing lady, pretty quickly might you add, she swiped his katana away and before he could pull out his other one, she held him in a chokehold. As she held him, what she said next was a clear indication, she was the bad guy.

‘Bummer’

‘She’s gonna kill him, we’ve gotta do something!’

‘Pretty cool how fast she did that’

“Now I can finally kill you one. By. One. Starting with you Leonardo.” As she pressed her blade into his neck, ‘guess that’s my cue!’ You rushed over and jumped over the rooftop, stealing the blade and running off. They all looked around for you, too fast to have seen you come by and leave. You threw it down a dumpster chute and ran back to watch from a distance.

Except for Raph of course, he saw you take the blade and runoff, but when he tried to move, everything was slowed down, and couldn’t move at normal speed. He couldn’t comprehend what just happened. But he saw you leave and the direction you left towards too, He watched you run across the rooftop and jump to the one he was on and send a sucker punch to Karai’s face. He still could not move at normal speed, however, and watched as you run behind her and kicked her from behind, causing her to let go and Leo. As you ran behind him and his brothers, his body was back to speed and he and his brothers rushed forward to grab Leo and attack Karai away from him.

As she retreated instead of fighting back, she growled and jumped off the ledge of the building, they ran over and watched as a half-broken robot grabbed her and swung her away and followed as they ran deeper into the cities rooftop. “What the hell was that…”, the boys looked at each other. Raph cleared his throat while staring at you. You waved sheepishly and walked forward slowly to them. Not showing them your powers just. What caught you off guard was what the turtle with the red bandana had said, “how’d you do that, stranger?” You looked around you, wondering how he knew it was you. “Yes. You.” You cleared your throat, unsure of what the hell was happening. No one ever saw you when you were that fast, how was he able to?

“How did you see me?” He rose an eyebrow at you and looked you up and down, “what are you talking about.”

You huffed and explained, “You saw me when I was- well, I was fast, no one ever sees me, unless I want them to see me.” You flashed over towards him, stopping right in front of him. He was unphased like he had seen you, you were sure you had used your powers because his brothers had flinched backward when you had appeared in front of him. This close up him made you taken into consideration the color of his eyes, they were green on reflective…

You flashed backgrounds, back to where you were before he saw you. “I’m supposed to be extremely fast, I can see and feel things differently. No one ever sees me coming, like your little friend from before.” He crossed his arms and smirked at you, “You’re not that fast then, I can see everything you do, but everything turns slow.” You huffed at his first remark, about to prove him wrong before it hit you.

He could see past your power, see past your greatest defense. Could this mean…?

You flashed back towards him, causing the brother in orange to “please, at least warn us!”, a force of habit- and flashed your hand across your face John Cena style and every time that it crossed your face you made a different funny looking one. His teasing laugh after proved that he was the one. After he wiped a tear from his face you placed a gentle hand on his face, looking at him as he studied you.

“Ah.. are we supposed to know what’s going on?...” Donnie commented from the side and broke your spell. Raph took a step backward, showing his straight face again and growled, “don’t start getting any ideas weirdo.” He started walking away, “let’s go guys,” he didn’t want to admit it, but there was something comforting about you. He couldn’t even bring himself to slap your hand away from his face when you had laid it there. He wanted to feel angry, wanted to fight you, to try and feel better about your teasing, but couldn’t bring himself to do it. As his brothers followed, about to head home, you yelled something he wished wouldn’t be true.

“Can’t help it, you know what I’m talking about.” As you sped towards him you added in his ear, “I’ll be seeing you again soon, soulmate.” You had left quick enough that his brothers weren’t able to see you leave. He wished you were playing a cruel joke, just trying to poke fun and he’d never see you again. Don’t get him wrong, he was thankful you had saved Leo, but did it really mean that he had met his soulmate and have to spend the rest of his life with one person like a lost puppy?

~~~ a few weeks later~~

As he and his brothers patrolled the city they decided to briefly separate to give a last look around before heading home together. Raph looked around his designated part of New York, briefly watching for any danger before moving on. He had a pretty uneventful night. As he watched the city over a different post, something in him slowed and then he saw you from the corner of his eye. Shit.

When time returned to normal, he sat down on a ledge and decided to face everything he had been avoiding for the last couple of weeks.

‘Finally, he’s not running.’

‘He’s just scared’

‘He’s just a wuss’

“Shut up already!” you whispered to yourself before you walked over to him.

“Ya’ know, ever since I was little, everything has been so slow. Everyone around me was too slow to see what I could do are keep up.” He felt you as you sat beside him. “Maybe having someone who can see what I do even when I’m using my superspeed is a good thing. That way, someone else can feel what I mean when I try to explain I feel slow when I’m doing things at a normal speed.” You sighed before continuing, “people don’t usually understand me, but maybe you can?...”

He looked over at you, watching as your eyes looked over the city. Your flawless skin reflected against the lights of the city and your plump lips made him look away. He couldn’t help this feeling that took over him whenever you were near. He barely knew you! This was creepy! “I won’t lie, it’s seriously annoying when everything gets slow because you’re stalking me and my brothers-” you chuckled sheepishly, “- but all that talk about, no one understands you, I can hear where you’re coming from. I and my brothers are different and humans, no offense, are insensitive. They fear what they don’t understand.”

You laid a hand on his shoulder, knowing that his woes were far worse than yours. He might be your soulmate, but you still had to get to know him. He deserved your attention. “I know this whole soulmate thing might be a little strange to you, but when I say I can’t help this feeling I have for you I mean it. I can’t help but want to be there for you and when I’m apart from you, I feel like I’ve lost something.” You starred at him, trying your best to ease him into this world where the soulmates existed and loved each other.

You know that he was struggling trying to accept this new feeling, you didn’t know much about him, but as he commented, you did notice a few things about him while stalking him and his brothers. Raphael, that was his full name, he had a short-tempered and had a hard time giving up to others. ‘I am also very competitive, so totally understandable’ He was very protective and loyal, but had testosterone to spare. It was cute though.

“You don’t have to be afraid, a soulmate just means I will be beside you for whatever you need. We don’t have to do anything your not comfortable with. I just want us to get to know each other…”

‘And maybe get a kiss…’

‘Hey! Give the poor boy a break’

‘Yeah, yeah….’

He looked over at you, uneasy, confused. And he was, god this was all so weird. He didn’t want to believe it the first time you said it, or when he confided in Donnie and the genius also agreed, that is was true. After some research, Donnie had found that, usually for mutants who came from half mutant and half-human families, it was a genetic mutation to promote more reproduction, or whatever Donnie mentioned, to have a soul mate. He honestly felt pulled by your beauty, like he was dying to have you close. He felt suffocated. He didn’t want this if it was going to be like this all the time. “Does it always feel like this,” looking down at his hand clenching and shaking towards you.

“Not always, it’s like a puppy phase of a relationship, your body is just getting used to it. At least that’s what my parents told me.” You felt out of it as he stayed quiet and looked away from you.

When he finally spoke, he had your full attention, “I barely know you.” You smiled and laid a hand over his own. “Neither do I. But I’d be honored to get too.” You sat a little closer and waited until he felt a little better.

“My name is (y/n), my mom was a mutant that could read people’s emotions, my dad was a human, she fell for him when she read that his love for her was pure and real. They got married and had me. I lost them, not too long ago, and came to live here with my uncle, on my mom’s side. You have no idea how much we have in common. Ever since then, I’ve just been trying my best to live life to the fullest. At least that what my parents always told me. I get into all kinds of trouble, but I never get caught, so it’s not that bad. And a few weeks ago I met you… I don’t have much to hide, but I promise I won’t hide anything for you.”

He looked over to you once again, feeling a little grateful to your understanding and optimism, and leaned forward, streching for a hug. Before you could hold back and slowly hug back, your powers kicked in and you hugged back in the fraction of a second. It almost knocked the wind out of him- in slow motion- and you pulled back, an apology already in tow.

“It’s hard controlling it sometimes, everything is so slow all the time, so sometimes when I get anxious because of it, my powers try to relieve that by making me do things faster and sometimes I hurt people because of it,” he smirked, the feeling yelling at him to pull you back in. He held out another hand out to you, “then let’s try again until you get it right, then,” you breathed in and slowly reached for him, wrapping your arms around his neck gently.

‘Awww, he’s a sweet one!’

‘And a bad boy’

‘He can’t be that bad… and if he is, how bad can it be?’

His scaly skin felt like it was wrapped in silk when you hugged him, your careful and soft fingers were warm against the back of his neck. His heartbeat was pounding, the smell of you would be a scent he’d never forget. As he hugged you- nothing felt impossible, no one could hurt him emotionally, he’d always have someone to rely on. He didn’t feel alone, and how bad could that be? Because it felt like a dream. Maybe he had overthought this, maybe it wasn’t controlling, maybe it really was faith playing cupid. You didn’t hold him possessively, you held him because he was holding you because you wanted him to hold him. Perhaps this could work, letting his feelings and instincts take over, he felt at home.

He pulled away from your embrace, and for once, everything felt at normal speed. As he looked at you and slowly placed a three-fingered hand under your chin, it didn’t feel as slow as molasses. It was slow but bearable. As he looked at you and you starred at those emerald green eyes, they encaptivated you,

‘Talk about handsome~’

‘No kidding~ *swoon*’

The glimmer in them was making you swoon, god, you never felt this way about anybody. As his eyes closed so did yours. Leaning forward to feel his rough lips against your luscious ones. You took charge in the kiss, however, you needed to feel more of him. As your lips smashed against each other, he quickly caught pace. Following your footsteps and loving every single second of it. The smirk against the kiss made your stomach flutter, you licked at his bottom lip, meekly asking to take it a step further. He let you in, so you could teach him. His wide tongue was slow, exploring what was new.

He was slow with this new kissing stuff, trying to figure out what you liked and what was weird, and so far it seemed to be going well. You were holding his plastron at this point and the leg you had tucked underneath yourself was pushing you up, to have better leverage during the kiss. It made him smirk, it felt better when he was pleasing you. When you felt good, he knew you were holding back and it made his heart feel a certain type of way.

As you both pulled away for the much-needed air you hid your face in the crook of his neck, and the breath you wafted on him from your loss of air had him feeling a buzz. God, you were doing things to him and it wasn’t just the dumb connection from the soulmate thing. “You aren’t so fast…” he teased.

You pulled away to raise an eyebrow at him. “Don’t test me Raph, I like it better when you’re quiet.” He gave you a toothy smile and you felt your stomach’s spring stretch. As you leaned back in.

‘Let’s do it again!’

‘Yeah, that way we can teach him how fast we really are~’
