Preferences: the Avengers visiting you, the owner of the local bookstore
Avengers x reader
warnings:
a/n: i hope it ok i turned into prefs!! i think it made more sense with the interaction part <3
prompt: @groovy-lady: “May I please request headcanons of being the owner of a bookshop the Avengers all go to and how they all interact with you?”
Bruce is there quite often, frequently in the scientific section. He buys stacks of books at a time and is quiet and polite when checking out. You always comment on how smart he must be and he awkwardly laughs it off. After a while, you start pulling certain books you’d think would interest him, which melted his heart when he realized you thought of him. “I added a science fiction novel in there, too. I don’t know if that’s your thing, but it’s one of my favorites.” You told him and he smiled. “Thank you for thinking of me.” He said.
Clint bought a lot of kids books. “How many?” You asked. “Three. Two boys and a girl.” He told you. You admired his choice of books for his kids. Teen fiction, sci-fi, graphic novels, fantasy, and a few children’s books. “Lots of variety.” You commented. “Yeah, trying to get them into reading.” He explained. “Any recommendations? The older ones are preteens, a boy and a girl. The little one is just learning how to read.” You smirked and started heading towards some classics like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. “These are the most popular for their age group, and I love them, too. As far as your little guy, you’ve already got the right idea.” Clint was grateful and took the first book of each popular series, promising to come back if they loved them as much you you did.
Nat was a fantasy reader. She had no shame in it. “What do you have for me today, y/n?” She’d approach the counter and have a small stack waiting for her. You’d go down the list with a little synopsis of each. “I hope you like them.” You told her. “You haven’t let me down yet.” She said back. She also donates her books when she’s done with them, saying she wants someone else to enjoy them as much as she did.
Steve nearly picked your history section clean. “Catching up, Captain?” You joked, recognizing the Super Soldier as soon as he walked in. “I don’t even know where to start.” He admitted. You gladly slimmed down his pile of history books and replaced quite a few with some fantastic works that came out while he was on ice. “As much as I enjoy reading, you won’t learn everything from these. Make sure you aren’t missing out by trying to catch up.” You warmly told him. “That’s good advice.” You told him you try and rung him up, warning him not to go reading those all at once.
Tony was more interested in comics and graphic novels, you’d laugh when you saw him pick up the more risque comics and he’d give you a playful wink. “They’re not for me, they’re for Clint’s son, the three-year-old.” He always knew how to make you laugh. “Yes, Elvira is the perfect choice for Clint’s small child.” He said he knew you’d understand. He also admitted he likes comics because they give him a little break from thinking all day and some of the characters remind him of his own life. You told him he was like Batman, he disagrees.
Thor checks out Norse Mythology more often than not. He likes to see what is written about him and his family in the eyes of Midgardians. “Are you sure you don’t want to try something different this time, Thor?” You motioned to a different section. “There’s so much more to choose from, I’d love to give you some recommendations.” Thor declined, placing another Norse book on the counter. “Have you ever read about me? Or my brother, Loki?” You nodded, telling him you’ve read a book or two that had them featured. “Wel”l, maybe next time I’ll buy something with a little less…me in it. We’ll see. Thank you, y/n!”
Before the Darkhold, Wanda was actually quite the enjoyer of teen fiction. She begged you not to tell the others what she read, and you promised you’d never share her secret. Most of the time, she’d cozy up in your reading corner with a coffee and read her “secret” books away from the Avengers. “Wanda, this one just came in. I think you’d love it.”

Aside from Harry Potter, what other book series do you like? Have you read other famous series like Percy Jackson or The Hunger Games?
I’ve never read Percy Jackson, to be honest, it just feels like a slap in the face to Greek mythology, and I can’t be bothered to get annoyed, lol
I did read The Hunger Games back in the day, and I thought it was a really entertaining trilogy, solid quality for YA content. That said, I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan or anything. My favourite series is still the Ripley novels by Patricia Highsmith and The Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante.
Aside from those, which mark my teenage self (the former) and my adult self (the latter) as a kid I really loved A Series of Unfortunate Events. And I’m a quite fan of A Song of Ice and Fire too but I’m not generally big on sagas, though. They stress me out a bit. I much prefer standalone novels.

Long ass rant about why I think people don’t like The Underland Chronicles
I saw a conversation on Reddit about why TUC wasn’t nearly as popular as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and all other fantasy novels about kids fighting against great evils and somebody presented a really good point.
TUC is incredibly realistic. They are realistic in the sense of the effects of all of those awful experiences aren’t cured by the power of friendship. When the adventure ends, that doesn’t and didn’t mean it’s all okay. A lot of Suzanne Collins’s stories are extremely realistic when portraying kids in these horrible situations— The Hunger Games is her most notable example. But we’re not here to talk about her other works— Gregor is who we’re here to analyze.
I read through the entire series a couple of times these past few weeks (I swear I’m normal) and the more I look at it, the more I really realize just how much being in this war messed up Gregor. He was 11 when he first went down, and 12 going on 13 when he left. He fought a war and killed sentient beings, witnessed murder, witnessed a literal genocide, and had all the scars to prove it. He was a little boy.
To get to the point, I feel like the reason this story is so much less popular than it should be is because it never gave that happily ever after everyone was used to. His story ends in uncertainty. He is scarred, hurt, has extreme PTSD, and he’s supposed to just… go back to normal after all of this? Even in Virginia, far away from New York, how could he go about his regular life again? Mrs. Cormaci even equated him to her late husband, who was a war veteran— whether it was Vietnam or WWII I can’t tell.
There was no clear ending. Gregor lived a lifetime and a half at only 11 years old. There was no joy, no celebration, just a scar-covered child in his tiny apartment bedroom with his baby sisters who will never quite know what he went through. And I feel like that’s an uncomfortable reality to present readers with since a lot of people are conditioned to believe that there’s going to be a happy ending after we get through the chaotic scary part. But that’s not how it works. It just doesn’t.
That trauma has completely changed Gregor— he is a different person with a different life and different perspective on the world. He is not the same and he can’t go back to what he was before. And a lot of people who haven’t experienced that or just don’t know how it works find that unsatisfying or disquieting. The idea that trauma isn’t just something that can be cured with a couple days of R&R after a rough patch doesn’t compute. That’s something he has to live with forever, and it’s also something that it seems a lot of people don’t like.
I could go on and on but I’ve been rolling around these thoughts in my head like a little freak for days. Of course, all of this is just an opinion (one fueled by poor sleep and a shitty med schedule) and none of this is to be taken as fact. These are based off my experience and things I’ve seen others say that just makes sense to me.
Addendum: I almost went into how much I relate to Gregor as a character just in general. How much of an impact it has that his story feels like it’s over as soon as he has to live a normal life again, how he already knows it’s impossible for him to be normal, how he’s already withdrawing from his family because no one else gets it and there’s nowhere else he can be or go: it makes me so evil I swear I’m okay I’m so normal

Okay am I the only Gen z who got the messages of hunger games and Percy Jackson?
The pjo books pointed out how the Titan Kronos exploited the shitty system the main 12 Olympians created and the much needed reformation the Greco-Roman pantheon needed in their treatments of lesser gods and demigods
The hunger games pointed out how BOTH sides exploit people like Katniss and was as bloodthirsty the capitol leaders.
Y’all remember how district 13 hides bombs in packages which lead to the death of innocent CHILDREN including Katniss sister prim right
Oh and the revolutionaries were planning on doing another hunger games with capitol kids as revenge.
Almost like revolutionaries are as shitty as the oppressors?
*cough* Killmonger *cough*
I mean PJO and Hunger Games gave as much nuance as they could while being published under Disney Hyperion and Scholastic .
But y’all didn’t get the memos
Oh right right my family issues so that why I got it.
Also another thing, the majority of enemies Percy Jackson and other demigods are monsters and gods going like “Your godly parent did something terrible to me so I’m going to take it out on you!”
Just like how for some goddamn reason, a poor white trailer boy is responsible for the evil shit the pilgrims did
But the Benin and Muslim people are A okay despite being the direct descendants of the Dahomey and
*check wiki*
Hmm, the Kashmir genocide, 9/11, the on going rampant killing of Nigerian Christian children by Muslim extremists
Obviously not all of them, but a lot of Gen z doing understand they have the mentality of VILLAINS rather than good people
Oh and my generation saying Osama Bin Laden was right. As a military brat and if I was heard someone say that in public
I will make the hunchback of Norte dome look like Prince Charming after the face rearranging I would do to those wokies
I never read any of those and only saw the first movies of the series's so I can't comment much on that.

With the not all of them, yes you're 100% right it's a oddity we get people online making 30 tweet threads about how black Americans are not a monolith but individuals each one being the sum of their own lived experiences which are different from each others.
And then Simone Biles smashes through the record books again (girl is unreal, just wow) and all of a sudden it's melanin power and all that jazz firing right back up. Or god forbid Tim Scott says something
the root: we don't do the HN shame
Also the root: but......
Not so bad as Atlanta Black Star can be but still. ______________
the people cheering on the various Islamic groups confuse the shit out of me, if they think white Europeans were harsh with them they should look up slavery in the middle east.
there were some bright spots yes, but mostly it was slave labor till you could labor no more and then you get left to die
Last place to make slavery illegal was Mauritania in 1982, it was lip service though since having slaves wasn't actually criminalized till 2007.
Still "bonded" servants there too, fancy name for slave/indentured servant for those that may not know that one.

*Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you*
Female characters I can't stand(both books, movies, anime/cartoons, and TV shows). Reminder I am a female and this is my personal opinion.
Annabeth Chase from the books Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series.
She is toxic, mean, abusive(both physically and emotionally), jealous and automatically is rude to anyone romantically liking Percy even before she's even in a relationship with him. She is a know it all but not in a good way. Prideful, and looks down on people especially when their mortals or monsters. The monster part I get. But still. Yes she has a tragic background, but I still don't like her. Especially since the books treat her flaws as female empowerment and not actually flaws that she needs to work on.
2. Amity Blight from the Owl House
I just find her boring honestly. Especially in the later half of the series when lumity gets together. I love Luz's character, she's my favorite. I just don't like her. Plus she never had a proper redemption arc for being a bully(and yes she was one, she was honestly more interesting when she was a bully). I'm glad teens have their lgbtq representation. I'm bi myself. I just really don't like her or the ship Lumity.
3. Katniss Everdeen from the hunger games
Both books and the movie. I just don't like her very much. I love Lucy Gray Baird from The ballad of songbirds and snakes book and movie. But her, just no. She's part of the reason why I never fully read all the books except the prequel and the first one.
4. Mcu's version of Wanda Maximoff
I never read the comics. But the movie version of her. Oh boy I can not stand her. Especially since I'm team Iron man. She willingly joined Hydra. She helped make Ultron, she took a town hostage against their will and never faced consequences for it. She set the Hulk on innocent civilians. She messed with Tony's mind! She brought Vision back to life against his will and gaslight him when he got close to the truth. She tried to kill a child so she can play pretend with someone else's kids. She killed tons of people for very selfish reasons. Yet she acts like the victim all the time.
5. Amy March for Little Women 1994
Mostly because I'm petty and I wanted Jo and Laurie to get together. Plus she's so annoying.
6. Bella Swan Twilight Saga
Both books and Movies(no hate to actress Kristen Stewart though, I love her in the movie Spencer) she is such a boring character while also being incredibly selfish character at the same time. More so in the books(though I'm team Jacob and a Jacob Black defense squad member).
And those are all the female characters at the moment that I can't stand. There's probably more but I can't remember right now. Sorry if you like these characters. This is just my opinion so let's agree to disagree.
#my thoughts#annabeth chase#amity blight#katniss everdeen#mcu wanda maximoff#amy march#bella swan#Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you#female characters I can't stand

i really wonder whats your top 5 in movies,series,singers,books
it may seem weird but please
This is hard because I always struggle to rank things I like. It's usually more of a "hey, I like all these things, and I prefer some aspects of them than others." So these lists are not in order of preference, and I won't always be doing 5 of each because I feel bad about picking favourites 😂
Movies:
How to Train Your Dragon - excellent cinema, why are they adapting it. please don't ruin it.
Back to the future - c'mon, it's iconic
Tangled - The disney movie I return to the most
Spiderman far from home - MJ and Peter are just the sweetest in this one
The Princess Diaries - both movies are amazing, but I do prefer the second. I feel like Julie Andrews is my third grandmother because of these movies.
Series (movies? books? shows? I'm not sure so I'll just go with shows.):
Phineas and Ferb is always a fun time.
Miraculous Ladybug is sick and pathetic and terrible but I still thoroughly enjoy it.
H2o: Just add water, baby.
And yes, I do enjoy shows besides kids shows, these are just more fun to talk about 😄
I like K-dramas, some of my favourites are W: two worlds, Exxtraordinary You, Legend of the Blue Sea and Crash Landing on You.
Singers (I'm not sure if you mean singers as in my favourite muscial artists, or who I actually think are the best singers. I will do both.)
I love Dodie Clark's music and songwriting, although she isn't the strongest singer.
Laufey, Marina, Mitski, Taylor, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood can be super fun.
Julie Andrews was such a gorgeous soprano, as was Marni Nixon and the other contemporaries of that time.
And speaking of musical theatre, Ramin Karimloo, Philippa Soo and Lea Salonga are brilliant.
For male singers, those Korean boys have some great vocals.
Books:
The Anne of Green Gables series. Often when I mention this series people say "oh yeah, I read the whole series! The four books are so cute." The full series is actually 11 books and I only know of a few people that dedicated themself to reading all of them because I'm telling you--some parts draaaggg. But I still really love this series and I always get sad when I see the references L.M Montgomery put in reflecting her own life which was much sadder than Anne's. Anne and Gilbert will always be my favourite enemies to lovers ship and when she rejects him and only realises she loves him when he's dying? Impeccable. Plus the eternal classic, "I don't want sunbursts or marble halls. I just want you." 😭 Gorgeous. The last few chapters of Anne of Ingleside are so good, the reminder that even after decades Gilbert still loves her is so sweet.
The Hunger Games is by far the best piece of dystopian YA literature. Suzanne explores themes in way that informs the way we now consume media. Every time I see a media circus against the backdrop of war and brutality I am reminded of Katniss. The series does lose points for me in that I find the love triangle boring, but I can see why it was included.
I recently reread the Percy Jackson series and while some parts are a bit too kiddy for me, I still love Rick's character depictions. Percy is such an interesting, layered character, and when people say it's impossible for men to write an authentic female character, I point to Annabeth Chase. Rick wrote her as a person, not just the female love interest.
Another book series I like, I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, is The Lunar Chronicles🙂

My favorite romantic relationship for Daemon was his relationship with Laena. They seemed to have built a healthy and loving relationship and family. Another thing I like was the fact that she was an adult. Both by their standards and by our standards. And how she died was really heartbreaking. That being said the show f*cked them up in every which way. And then they f*cked his relationship with his daughters that while not much is given for in the book you can still make a claim that he loved and cared for them. In conclusion this show is sh*t and if Netty (who unfortunately is Daemons only saving grace) isn’t included this season I will be finding a new fandom to either join/re-join. Maybe my childhood favorite(s) ATLA or Percy Jackson since they both are getting new shows. The Hunger Game franchise just came out with a new movie that is slowly but surely getting me back on the wagon. H*ll I might even trade out one toxic fandom for another, I just can’t decide if it’ll be Bridgerton (though they’re only toxic when it comes to certain characters), Star Wars (I haven’t been apart of this one in a while but if my memory serves me it was just shipping wars) and if I’m really feeling it I’ll go back to Harry Potter (which is low-key worse than HOTD cause the writer is problematic as well as some of the actors/actresses and the stans are crazy and the shipping wars alone can make you leave the fandom ). But yeah I have low hopes for this next season.
Dettles has a special place in my heart, and I believe Nettles was Daemon's person, I will admit that Daemon and Laena is his least problematic ship. Instead of the showrunners giving us a relatively normal healthy loving marriage they gave us dog sh*t and I will forever be pissed off about that🫠
I’m gone too if Nettles is cut.
However, honestly, after this whole situation, I refuse to get involved with another fandom again.
Granted HOTD is probably one of the worst fandoms out there(I feel like it’s worse than GOT fandom), but there are a lot more sh*tty fandoms than there are good ones and I wouldn't want to trade one sh*tty fandom for another.
Star Wars is the same fandom that bullied Jar Jar Binks actor to the point where the poor man was suicidal and they bullied the kid who played Anakin to the point where he quit acting. Not to mention how fans treated John Boyega, Kelly Marien Tran, and Moses Ingram. Those people are just as mentally deranged as HOTD stans. In fact, a lot of Dumbnyra stans ship Reylo💀That’s really the last fandom I’d join. They are one of the OG crazy fandoms.
Never got into the Hunger Games, but I know they had their issues(Rue). Percy Jackson same issue. People’s grievances with JK Rowling aside, the Harry Potter fandom has calmed down, but I imagine the crazy antics will pick up again with the new series. At their height though they were probably running neck and neck with HOTD(I wouldn’t say it’s worse).
I love Avatar. Never got into the fandom(and even if I do decide to write something for Zutara because of this new show that will be my extent of fandom interaction).
Speaking as someone who is in the Bridgerton fandom, while it has its kooky fans they are relatively harmless by fandom standards. (Though I did have some Kathony fans getting mad at me over a non-issue and saying I should stick to watching the incest show🤣 even though I've been watching Bridgerton since the beginning ).
I feel like the type of show it is makes it difficult for really crazy fandom drama to form(which seems to revolve around shipping).
Everyone has their favorite couple of course(Benophie aka the best ship, Kathony, Polin, Saphne, Francheal, Grucy, or hey ship them all), but there is no infighting like Zutara vs Katang or Dramione vs Romione.
There is one ship per guy and girl and you ship them. That’s it. It’s simple. It’s easy. Everyone loves it. Of course, you can fight with another couple, but everyone’s couple is a couple. You can’t deny it’s not canon, that it won’t happen, or that they don’t love each other(well Eloise and her man are iffy, but they are a couple).
I may be biased though considering it’s my favorite show, but even with some kooky stans it’s great.

See the stars, imagine yourself running with them
(italian version here)

Living… it never came easy to me. The world is vast, scary, filled with unanswered questions and difficulties. I’ve never been good at being like the others, at finding my place in the world like everyone else seems to do. I’ve always tried to flee from reality, a reality which often seemed too complicated to handle. That has never been the case for the pages of a book though, those always came easy. Words upon words, written by someone, translated by another and, to me, a relief from everything else. The fear which froze me seemed to thaw among the pages of a book.
At 16 I started reading Percy Jackson, maybe a bit later than many others. It was the first saga I read, seeing as though I’d never understood the appeal of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, or other similar YA books. I felt the same hesitance before beginning Rick Riordan’s novels too. However, one afternoon, precisely five years ago in April 2020, right in the middle of the covid pandemic, a friend lends me her books. The barter occurs a bit awkwardly, in the square of our little town (due to the ongoing ban on private gatherings), both of us are wearing masks and gloves, the exchange takes just five minutes, and then there I go on my way home, with the first five books. Some time later, fed up with the quarantine’s dullness, I open the first one, I start reading it, and I fall in love with it faster than lightning strikes the earth. I immediately get enveloped in the adventures of Percy, Grover and Annabeth and, in the blink of an eye, I’ve finished the first five books. At the end of summer, my friend lends me the second saga, Heroes of Olympus, and around the beginning of my last year of high school, I finish reading it. I still theoretically have the last of the main sagas, The trials of Apollo, waiting for me, but I decide to take a pause, busy with exams and the end of high school.
Among other things, the month of May approaches and, with it, our final school trip. Elena (the same friend who had lent me the books) and I are ecstatic: we are going to Rome, where many of our favourite characters went on their adventures, during Heroes of Olympus in specific. As an added bonus, our love for the books did nothing but increase our passion for Greek and Roman mythology. This led us to look with different eyes on every statue in the Vatican Museums and on every ancient ruin, as the chains that linked the old epic poems with Percy Jackson’s adventures.
It is precisely this which I suggest doing: think about a story you loved in your childhoods or teenage years. Think about the carefree and genuine fun those books and fairytales filled you with. Be those the fairytales the ones your parents read as bedtime stories, or the ones you stayed up all night reading, despite having to wake up at 7 am to catch the school bus, just like I had to do.
Think about all this, and travel. Travel, to uncover and see the things they told, the environments they described. Sure, it was easy to find something Percy Jackson related, especially since I live in Italy: many important parts of the books took place here. It’s not just about finding specific places though, it’s about going back to doing what came so easy to us as kids, which is fantasizing. Often tales, fairy tales, myths, folklore… , whether they be original or not, are not based on specific places. If Rick Riordan could imagine moving Mount Olympus to New York, at the 600th floor of the building, then you can imagine many other things, which are just as fun.
The world is vast and scary. To face it, to take up the courage to travel and see new places, would it be so bad if the characters we loved so much accompanied us?

Both Naruto and Harry Potter were insanely popular in the early 00’s when they were coming out. Naruto was the first introduction to anime for a lot of American children, and Harry Potter introduced a lot of kids to urban fantasy and fantasy fiction. They’re both extremely well-beloved by those who grew up with them but have fallen off in favorability as time has gone on. They also both tried to capitalize on their former success with spin-offs with varying success.
Bleach and Percy Jackson are both series that were coming out around the same time as Naruto and Harry Potter, and are often considered the underdog rivals. They also both have much better writing and storytelling, with a main protagonist that is extremely likable and insanely powerful, but just wants to live a simple life. They both are currently getting a second chance in their new series and tv shows and are drawing more attention back to them—including from their former rivals that are now floundering in their current failings.
Also One Piece is Hunger Games. Scathing indictment on political climate and fascism that is easily forgotten because of how it’s presented (goofy pirate shenanigans and teen dystopia romance novel).
Naruto was the Harry Potter of anime and Bleach was the Percy Jackson

sully family trip to the library 🥺
So much drama.
I really don't think Jake and Neytiri are library people, I think they're bring your kids to the local rock climbing gym parents. I live in a world where they're just like, doing the most insane shit all the time. Pre-kids they were like what if we randomly skipped work today to go sky diving, and what if tomorrow we try a kickboxing class? Like their idea of a fun date or couple activity is trying something they've never done before and seeing who is better at it. One week they're in a couples cooking class like bullying the shit out of each other's food while the rest of the class is like 👀 because it's couples cooking you were supposed to make something together? Next week they're learning parkour, and every time the other falls first they run over and make sure that person is okay and then they point and laugh. By the time the kids are born it's crazy. Kiri, Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Spider in the back of a stupid family skateboarding class watching their mom not so subtlety push their dad so he falls and then pretending not to have seen who did it like Jesus Christ, right in front of us?? Our salad??? (This got off track can you tell I'm entering my Jeytiri era rn?).
So yeah I don't think the library was their main place before their kids. But now the kids love reading and the jocks (their parents) must entertain them.
I think Kiri and Neteyam vibe hard with a good book, while Lo'ak is with his parents in that he'd rather be outside doing something athletic and dumb. Spider and Tuk are in between, they can be swayed either way and get bored with reading or with dumb shit. They have short attention spans.
I think Jake does really good voices in the childrens section, so he without fail will find himself surrounded by like 15 kids and not notice until the end of the book because he feels like he has 15 kids anyway. Parents don't realize he's not there to read for everyone because he's so good at it and he's got so many kids sitting there listening who don't all appear to be siblings lol.
Neytiri really likes the romance books. I think she's a little bit of a romantic, and even if reading isn't her favorite pastime she'll get sucked into a good romance. Jake likes John Grisham type detective dad novels, but he'll read all the YA nonsense his kids say is good. He's read all of The Hunger Games, Divergent, John Green, he and Tuk are caught up on Percy Jackson. Lo'ak reads those crazy sports books middle school boys read, and those My Weird School books. Neteyam has read all the books. Man is reading Stephen King and Octavia Butler and what not way too young. Idk just every book, all of them. Kiri mostly has as well but she and Tuk have also read every single Warrior Cats book multiple times. Tuk also eats up the Rainbow Magic series, and some Junie B. Jones.

Consider this, all of rottmnt brothers are the medic. @moltenatlas just in case you were still interested in that all the rottmnt boys are the medic post we talked about ages ago, this is it.
Mikey is starting as patient 0 because I am a firm believer of accident prone Mikey, it's primarily self-indulgence at this point but hush I have fragments of evidence. He's a skateboarder is the main point of said evidence bc he's going to be covered in injuries at some point. That's the way of skateboarders. Additionally that kid had his nose in some kind of fiction/comic book or Sketchbook too often to not have tripped or ran into a wall, and no you cannot tell me rottmnt Mikey didn't read anything he was definitely raised on one of the main four fantasy fiction pipelines, meaning harry potter, warrior cats, percy Jackson and the Olympians (me), or the hunger games pipelines. I am not accepting criticism. He's also way too good at cooking to not have been doing it for years and little hands make many mistakes. Also Raph being increasingly worried about Mikey the first time he goes out, ignoring the obvious mother hen instinct, indicates that Mikey is at the very least a little clumsy or accident prone I mean he even has knee and elbow pads he wears consistently ffs. Due to these many possibilities I believe each of the other brothers have a fair knowledge of first aid and medical aliments.
Raph's-
Raph learned first. Obviously. The oldest of four and babies are bound to get a few bonks as they try to learn how to do basic motor functions. Such as walking and talking, having those bonks himself he picked up what to do from Splinter and put them into practice when Splinter was going through one of his rougher more absent patches. (I am a depressed/body dysmorphia rottmnt splinter truther tm and as someone with active and diagnosed chronic depression and also suffers from body dysmorphia taking sometimes taking care of yourself feels impossible let alone four young kids so I'm a firm believer Raph had to take over some responsibilities sometimes. Not all the time, because I also believe splinter loves his sons to death tm and he tries his best, but sometimes.)
Donnie, upon seeing Mikey cheating the crawling system by popping in his shell and ping ponging around the house, tried to copy and ended up somersaulting into a chair leg leaving his entire being aching. Raph having crashed a few times himself mimicked what Splinter had done previously and whipped up a warm bath, children's bubblegum Tylenol, ice packs, and firm back scratches to help ease his brother's pain. Help which the tot insisted he didn't need though the last words, or chirps rather, as he fell asleep were a clear thanks.
Leo so badly wants to play sports-ball with his big brother, who was bouncing said ball on his knee, ran to tackle and got kneed in the gut followed directly by a ball to the face. He let out a loud "oomph" and the saddest and most distraught chirps and clicks Raph had ever heard. This insight made Leo's twin, who was peeking in front behind a nearby corner, to also start crying after he scooped Leo's face and tried to chirp a form of consolation before refusing to leave Leo's side. Feeling awful Raph brought him ice packs and snacks as well as asking simple questions and checking his eyes to make sure his brother didn't have a concussion as the twins sat, snacked, and watched movies to avoid scrambling more of their insides. Luckily he didn't, just a few bruises, a black eye, and a very worried twin.
Mikey, poor Mikey, got bumped and bruised far too often, his ping-ponging ended up with the tot popping out too early and getting a mild concussion, scrape, rug burn, or bruise from impact. It got to the point where Raph stopped knowing what to do and was running out of bandaids. Raph eventually duct taped pillows to his little brother who, like a dog, thrashed around until he was free. I'm also a firm believer that Mikey is accident prone as all hell and could bruise his knee getting a juice box, which he has.
The Disaster Twins-
I will not be swayed. I don't care who I have to fight they learned around the same time for exceedingly different reasons.
Donnie was already leaning into self-experimentation/running experiments solo. This means more unpleasantries could arise such as injury and seeing as Donnie likes having working motor functions and not being coddled by his other siblings. He cracked open all the books he could get his hands on and figured out how to cure anything from a paper cut to cardiac arrest. He learned how to do all as painlessly as possible as well, used simulated situations and robots, to ensure that he could. Once he could he immediately chipped his brothers as well as himself.
Donnie took a more anatomical and medicinal approach to learning. He learned how the body is built and designed to react to stimulus. For example he built an x-ray machine with adjustable levels to figure out the differences between his mutated muscle and skeletal form and the ones of humans in the books he found. He'll also learn why specific injuries or illnesses occur and focus more on prevention above solution for when it occurs but he's well versed in solutions should it come to be despite efforts.
Leo is a mischievous little thing. He does things he's not supposed to and more often than not ends up in wild situations. Such as chipping a tooth or losing a tooth. That hurts but he refuses to explain to his brother's and chooses to ignore the pain instead. He understands that this isn't practical so he also picks up every book he can get his hands on and learns how to handle anything from a paper cut to resuscitation. He really gets into it once Mikey and Donnie got involved in his shenanigans, Mikey in particular being accident prone meant he, as an older brother had to make sure he could take care of him.
Leo took a more situational and medicinal approach. Leo thinks that injury in his shenanigans is bound to happen eventually. He is correct because he's canonically self-destructive and self-sacrificial, that at very least, gets him hurt. So he is less interested in the why and more interested in how to negate the effects of specific accidents that may happen. IE: "I fall from a tree and land on my arm funny. It bends the wrong way what do I do?" Or "Mikey falls of the wagon as we take a sharp turn in the tunnels, he slid across concrete, and his leg is covered in blood" he thinks of specific scenarios and then learns as much as he can about the injury and how to make it better.
Mikey -
Mikey learned to repay his brothers for everything they've done for them.
He thrives to be someone his brothers can rely on as well so he started watching when he was little. He saw everytime someone else got hurt and often provided comfort cuddles. As he sat in their laps. Mostly Raph, would explain what he was doing, and how it would help as he helped with various ailments. So that's how he primarily learned.
Additionally Mikey is quite independent, don't get him wrong he loves his brothers to death, but he also doesn't like being coddled. He likes to do things his way and on his own. So he observed his brothers everytime they helped him with an injury or got injured themselves and acted as "nurse" for whoever was helping the others.
Eventually he started patching himself up when he got hurt. (Raph cried the first time he saw Mikey patch himself up because his littlest brother was all grown up tm)
Mikey is nowhere near Leo and Donnie's expertise but he can handle the basics plus having extended knowledge in burns and cuts which are commonplace accidents in the kitchen where Mikey spends a lot of time.
Mikey has fun/colorful bandages designated to each of his brothers for the rare occurrence of his brothers getting hurt around him/during family times. One time when they were little he got Jupiter Jim ones on a trip with Splinter to a local convenience store and his brothers almost seemed to get hurt on purpose to get them. Needless to say he got more but those are only for special occasions and his brothers don't know he has them.
Mikey also knows how to lower a fever better than the others because he and Raph got influenza when they were little, not tots but young kids, and both run h o t. The both of them had 104 (or equivalent for turtles idk) fevers and Splinter spent three sleepless nights monitoring them and trying whatever he could think of to lower it. So Mikey and Raph know how to lower fevers at a near expert level.
Mikey is also good with Migraines. Because the Hamatos all suffer from migraines for one reason or another I've decided actually.
#rottmnt headcanons#rottmnt#rottmnt raph#rottmnt leo#rottmnt donnie#rottmnt mikey#disaster twins#they're all the medic actually#leo and donnie are basically doctors at this point#but they all take care of each other

#Who would I have become if I discovered the fandom back in 2012?!?!#I was going to use my actual age in the tags for added comedic effect#but I legitimately don’t remember how old I am#I had to ask excel#and was shocked at the result#lol#ask#KDNFB#thank you for the ask
omfg @mollywog you had to ask excel bwahahaha
+++
#also in my early 40s 😖#and my daughter read thg last year#but i don't like to talk about it bc she doesn't love peeta#i've failed as a mother lmao#she'll come around right?
@distractionsfromthefood I feel you on this one. It's such a nail biting experience introducing the kiddos to the series we love so much.
My youngest came home from school last year with a permission slip from his 6th grade English teacher. They planned on reading The Hunger Games and my son was all "you're gonna let me do this, right Mom? because you've read these books. I know you have, Mom. They're some of your favorites sooooo....?"
So of course, I signed it and sent it back the next day. But then, apparently there was OUTRAGE amongst some of the other parents. They didn't just mark "no" and send it back, they wrote angry notes to the teacher about it. So she had them read Percy Jackson instead, The Lightning Thief. Which okay, whatever, I love those books too so my son and I read the first series together and talked about them because he loved the first book.
Neither of my kids are big readers, at least not of text novels, so I didn't push him to read thg when summer rolled around, even though he said he wanted to eventually read the series. He's more into graphic novels anyways. Then, my oldest opted out of a field trip and came home from 8th grade that day all "Hey Mom, so we watched The Hunger Games movie and Catching Fire, but we didn't get to finish it...what happens?" And I was like ooooooh no, buddy. I don't hand out spoilers. You wanna know, we gotta watch. And of course, youngest was incensed. "I WANNA WATCH TOO!"
So we sat down over the course of like two weeks, started from the beginning for the youngest, and made it through all four movies. I was nervous about a few things because I've never loved the movies the way I loved the books, even if I was absolutely parking my butt (alone) in the theaters opening week for all but the first movie and was definitely embroiled in the fangirling here on tumblr back in 2012-15 whatever it was. I figured my oldest might (gasp!) be a Gale fan, but he surprised me on that one. I did warn them both that given the plot, characters that they got attached to would die, but I didn't really want to warn them specifically which characters.
There was definitely a feeling of relief when we got halfway through the first one and my youngest was basically climbing on me going "Peeta doesn't die, does he?!?!?!" He knew Katniss doesn't because she's on the cover of all my dvd's lol, and he was still a little shaken by Rue's death. Well, this is my kid who will break down sobbing inconsolably when a dog dies. Literally cannot tell you how many movies we've been in the middle of watching and I'm frantically checking doesthedogdie.com so I can warn him. We are the criers at movies in this family. Oddly, he watches seriously bloody horror flicks with his dad without batting an eye, but animals or characters they specifically get you emotionally attached to? nope. can't handle it. So given that he was specifically asking me about Peeta, I caved. "No, honey. He and Katniss both survive." He didn't believe me so I told him I'd spoil just this one character for him and gave away the epilogue. "They get married and have two kids."
That seemed to settle him for a long time, and while it was rough going (he was seriously pissed at me over the hijacking, but he was more so angry at Snow for that) he made it through...
And then Finnick. Lord, that was not what I was expecting him to lose it over. But he literally stood up on the couch and screamed at Katniss over it. Threw a pillow. "WHAT?!?!?! NO!! HE COULD'VE MADE IT!!! GET BACK IN THERE, KATNISS!!! MOM!!! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME FINNICK WAS GONNA DIE!!! THESE MOVIES ARE HORRIBLE!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!?!?! MOM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU LIKE THIS?!?!?!"
Yeah. I felt like a shit bag. But also... alright, we're getting the message. Except he still hasn't read the books. Every time I mention it, he scowls at me. "I'm still traumatized from the movies, Mother."
Meanwhile, the oldest was like.... meh at the end. *facepalm*
You all are truly making me feel old here lmao.

Gah. The year I first read the books, which was also the year the first movie was released, this b***** turned 30. My babies were actually babies. Most of the people I followed on here were mid twenties to fifties, so I wasn’t even that old, in comparison. Now my kids are the target audience age and it’s like every new person I see on here, I wanna ask them if their mother knows they’re here. And also to stop reading my porn, but then I remember the kinds of things I was reading at 13-19 and I’m like okay fine read my porn but don’t blame me if you get traumatized. 🤣
And also to stop reading my porn
🤣
I remember finishing the Mockingjay audiobook hunched over in my cubical, driving home on autopilot, calling off work the next day (but feeling hungover about it for weeks), then spending the preceding years trying to avoid THG ennui:
This was not a universal experience?! Lol

introduction
hey! i'm zoe (some people call me zo), leo, or percy. my pronouns are she/he/they + neos.
this blog is something i do entirely for fun. i first began playing around with google docs thanks to a PJO roleplay server (that is constantly referenced in my posts actually). i began making templates for said server as a silly little thing, and one day i thought 'hey, wait a minute. what if i posted this on tumblr?' and here we are! maybe one day i'll do templates that don't have anything to do with that server. who knows?
other than fucking around with docs, some of my hobbies include reading, roleplaying, acting, singing, and worldbuilding. some of my favorite books are the hunger games, ready player one (the sequel is patiently sitting on my bookshelf at the moment waiting to be read), and, if it wasn't obvious already, percy jackson/PJO! i've been roleplaying mainly on discord for a few years now. i mostly use original characters, but every now and then i'll fuck around with canon characters. the ones i feel the comfiest with at the moment are annabeth chase from percy jackson, zoe murphy from dear evan hansen, and veronica sawyer from heathers. (i actually kin annabeth!) i'm a huge theatre kid. some of my favorite musicals are heathers, next to normal, and newsies. my all time favorite and comfort musical will always be dear evan hansen. i'm currently in a production of wicked, and i'm starring as the one and only elphaba. sometimes i'll sit at my desk, whip up my laptop, zone out for a few seconds, and what do you know? i have a 26 page long google doc full of lore and whatnot for a fantasy universe. i absolutely love writing lore, and it's something i occasionally do out of pure boredom.
going back to google docs—at the moment i am not taking requests, commissions, or anything of the sorts. i'll edit this post if that is to change. please don't request access to my docs, if you're having trouble with the link tell me using tumblr and i'll get back to you as soon as possible. don't use my templates as base templates for roleplay groups, forums, etc., and under no circumstances remove the credits. i spend hours on every single one of these docs, and it'd be extremely upsetting for the credit to be removed.
to those who made it this far, thank you for reading! i know this and my previous post aren't docs related, but hang on because i just finished a new template that i might post today. i'll uh... see you guys around!

So I am slightly inspired by @incorrectgenerations to make my own depictions of the Generations as characters and also these are for fun, this is just a Part 1 there will be a Part 2
Gen Alpha
A Literal Child, she just found out Twitter exist and is slightly traumatized even when previously Millennial told them it's a Dumpster fire should not look at it, though it's not truly their fault because she saw Millennial use Twitter.She also use a Phone almost as if it's an extension of their Hand.Overall she is still figuring themselves out.
Gen Z
They are not human, they are made of Pure Chaos and Spite, but however they are Depressed and Touch Starved, Gen Alpha is too scared to approach them because of one time they walked in and saw them vibe to Mandela Catalogue, almost as if it was Lofi hip hop.
Millennials and Gen X see pass this Facade and that's why they have this Chaotic Good Relationship.Though They seem to relate to Greatest Gen that seem like Mental Health link of sorts.
Millennials
The Definition of a 'Tired Dad', he face Pressure from Boomers constantly and they argue alot, Gen Z is their Pillow and they consent, Gen X is their Drinking and Working out Buddy.Millenials needs alot of sleep but he have a kid, who is Gen Alpha, and feels like he needs help in terms of Parenting.
However if given the chance to geek out, everyone will have Harry potter, Percy Jackson and Hunger games themed food for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.No one Complains, except Boomers of course, because they know he deserves a Break.
Gen X
Gen X are rarely around actually, because he is in the Military.BUT WHEN HE IS AROUND, Greatest Gen and Silent Gen are just Looking and shouting at him be like,"OH MY GOD YOU'RE NOT DEAD GOOD NOW EAT ALL OF THE FOOD I GIVE YOU CAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE" Gen X's intimidating Aura is Enough to make Gen Z's Sarcastic and Dark humour mask fall apart and give them all the Hugs they can, Millennial get their confidence back just by talking to them and Gen Alpha teach them Modern Lingo.
For example, he just found out about the terms 'Himbo' and 'DILF' Gen Alpha and Gen Z explained those terms to him because he called those while scrolling Facebook and Instagram.Also he has Casual Roast Sessions with Boomers whenever he is around, he basically insult Boomers in every aspect possible without the Usage of Social Media especially when the subject of Millennials come up and Gen Z demands know and learn such power, not knowing that Greatest Gen is the MVP of Casual Insult.

a cute, wholesome blurb for your night.
warnings: none :)
wordcount: 900
requested: yep! @amoreagron - Hi! I saw your little JJ fluff blurb about being sick and it was too cute! If you’re feelin’ froggy, how’d you feel doing a little fluffy thing where JJ finds out Reader is a huge nerd (like lord of the rings and stuff) and gently makes fun of her, but then sits there and lets her talk about everything and fun facts and quotes and just falls more in love with her. Kinda sounds stupid now that I write it out but JJ fluff is all I need! xoxo
notes: This was super fun to write! I hope you don’t mind I focused on hp and not lord of the rings (i admit that i know close to nothing ab it) thanks for the ask!! *** I do requests! Feedback is welcomed and appriciated
You were nestled into your bed, covers pulled up to your chin, rereading your favorite Harry Potter book, The Prisoner of Azkaban. It had been raining for days and while you were upset you couldn’t spend the days surfing or at bonfires with your friends, you were perfectly content to sit inside. You hadn’t spent the whole time reading, though. You decided to watch The Lord of the Rings movies with your younger brother the days before. They were his favorite movies and you had read the books growing up. Something about rainy nights made you feel nostalgic for a world you hadn’t lived in, only read about.
You were lost into your book again until a heavy knock came from your window. You switched the light on and peered out into the dark storm only to see your boyfriend, water dripping down his face.
“JJ, what are you doing?” you exclaimed, opening the window and pulling him through. Once he was inside, you rifled through your closet for a towel and a pair of his sweatpants he had left behind. This wasn’t the first time he had climbed the roof and knocked on your bedroom window and you could bet it wouldn’t be the last.
“Maybe I wanted to see my girlfriend”
“We’ve got a door, Maybank, and I have a phone” you threw the clean clothes and towels and laughed at his disgruntled figure. His hair and clothes were soaked. His face red from the wind. His eyes were still bright regardless. You couldn’t help but smile at him.
“Do you?” He asked, “I’ve been texting you all day.”
A sudden pang of guilt washed over you, had he? You didn’t even know where your phone was.
JJ quickly came back into your room, wet clothes discarded, drying his hair off with the towel you had lended him.
“I’m sorry, baby,” you replied, pursing your lips out. JJ chuckled and shrugged it off, “Do you have one of my shirts? I’m freezing.” To prove his point he grabbed your face with his hands. Instantly, goosebumps covered your body. You screeched, pushing JJ’s hands off of your cheeks, “Check my closet, geez.”
While he searched for something warmer to put on, you crawled under the blankets, wrapping them around your torso. JJ pulled on a dark blue long sleeve. The color brought out his bright eyes and flushed cheeks. He instantly crawled under the covers, too. You felt his arms wrap around you as he brought you closer to him. His face burrowed into the back of your neck, his breath was warm on your skin. His hair was tickling you, “J-” you started, softly.
“No, please I’m so cold.” He begged. You obliged, allowing this winter boy to absorb your body heat and scatter kisses on your shoulder.
“What did you do today?” He asked when you finally broke apart. JJ intertwined his legs with yours and sat across from you, both of you under a mound of blankets.
“I was just reading, nothing too exciting,” you said, motioning to your bookshelf. It was an impressive collection to say the least. It was filled with books from secondhand shops, some you had traded with your friends way back in middle school, and even some that the library was going to throw out. The covers were too torn or someone had spilled coffee on a few pages. The Harry Potter series was at the top, followed by all the Percy Jackson books and The Hunger Games. A few from english class had scattered the pile and a few nonfiction ones.
“Have you really read all of those?”
“Yeah,” you laughed nervously. You knew JJ wasn’t very keen on reading for school. You didn’t want him to think you were trying to brag or put him down
He studied the shelf before speaking again, “I think I’ve seen a few of those movies. It’s like a magic school?”
“Kinda!” You lit up, “More like the kids are magic. There are a bunch of wizards and they get sorted into houses at the beginning of their first year and there’s this whole competition where the professors can award points and the house with the most points wins the house cup. But that’s really not even the plot to, like, any of the books actually. I’m a hufflepuff. I’d honestly say you’re probably a slytherin, but not in a bad way.”
You stop, realizing you have been talking nonsense for far too long. JJ has a smug grin on his face which makes your ears turn red.
“Sorry,” you muttered, playing with the hem of the blanket.
“God, you are such a nerd, babe.”
“Stop,” you laugh, pushing JJ’s shoulder.
“It’s cute!” JJ pulls your hair to make you face him, “It’s so cute, like too cute to even look at you.” You, again, feel the blush spreading across your face. You scrunch up your nose, making a face at him.
“So cute,” he said again and kissed the tip of your nose and then your cheek, “C’mon tell me more. Why am I a slu..sly..”
“Slytherin.”
“Yeah, that.” He said, kinda bouncing before laying down next to you and snuggling his head into your stomach. You placed one hand on his back, lightly drawing shapes with your nails and began telling the story.
