Rise Characterizations Pt. 3!!!

Now that Leo and Raph are done, it's Donnie's turn for character analysis as a writing reference. So without further ado,

Donnie Character Notes

Language Habits:

Straight up talks like a redditor who hasn't touched enough grass (affectionate)

Oscillates between very scientific paper polished, sometimes adding a dazzle of shakespearean for dramatics, or abbreviations/a shorter version of a word with a more fun connotation (i.e. "brekkie" instead of breakfast)

Uses food as surprised exclamations or curses, "oh my peaches and cream", "banana pancakes!"

Emphasizes each syllable of a long word when he's excited or trying to make a point. Conquered becomes con-qu-ered

Either exaggerates his speech or speaks in deadpan

The science terms he uses as battle cries aren't chosen at random, but rather are related to the action/subject at hand, i.e. yelling "fibonacci" when throwing his spinning tech-bo

Will overly describe an item or a situation, and often gets caught up in these observations before processing what just happened

Will repeatedly yell "help!" when he's distressed and/or outnumbered

Refers to Mikey as "Michael"

Refers to his brothers as "brethren" or "gentlemen"

Refers to splinter as either "father", "papa", or "dad" depending on the weight of the situation

Refers to his tech as his "babies"

Answers the phone with, "You're conversing with Donatello"

Uses "gesundheit" instead of bless you

Personality:

The fixer, he supplies the family with tech and resources. He always has a trinket made for the situation at hand and/or offers his knowledge/data collected. He's always prepared to help. Even with outside resources, he likes to feel useful in solving their problems (i.e., building Todd that dog park)

The theater kid, in a similar vein to leo, Donnie has his own style of dramatics. He often uses shakespeare-like language, is mentioned to regularly recite the jupiter jim musical soundtrack, and has a music mode for his battle shell. He belongs on a stage, or at least thinks he does

Not good at lying, despite the glamour he can put on in the spotlight. This may be due to the side of himself that over explains his thoughts

An over-thinker, who really tends to over-complicate things. His first theory or idea will always be the most extreme buck-wild concept. After some filtering, he still word vomits

A dreamer/big idea guy. He does have big ideas and goals. A lot of these he's able to put into place, although some go a little haywire (see Albearto). He doesn't do things in halves, and puts everything into a project

Meticulous, someone who's very detail oriented. As mentioned before he tends to over-complicates things. This may be impacted by his love for data and collecting information (he does record Everything for a reason)

Always on the edge of violence, which is surprising. Donnie's not known as being the angry archetype of tmnt, but he can get a little violent in his fighting style and does often cite his desire to use lethal force

Low empathy, which is mainly due to his issues processing and recognizing emotions. He's been pegged as unemotional, but in canon he's rather emotional and expressionate, just lacking the skills to process such emotion (he's just like me fr)

Praise motivated, as seen with his interactions with Splinter. Also desires the praise of his brothers, who he doesn't feel understand him with all the teasing that's sent towards his direction. This also pushes him to seek validation and acceptance in other groups (i.e. the purple dragons), to feel a sense of security or belonging

Ignores his own mistakes, and will often pretend like they didn't exist or ever happen. This most likely has to do with his desire for praise, so he feels bad when he fails. If he never made a mistake, he never has to feel bad

Miscellaneous:

Fourth to unlock mystic powers

Uses "Bootyyyshaker9000" as most of his usernames and passwords, with his alt. username being "Alpha-Bootyyyshaker9000"

Has a fear of bees, spiders, and of course beach balls

Breaks the fourth wall the most

Loves the smell of pineapple, hates the texture

Has a hobby of rooting around in the junkyard and dumpster diving

Uses cheat codes in video games

Mikey's next of course :)

“Are we there yet?” Mikey whined loudly. 

“Uh…no?” His immediate older brother said, sighing impatiently. 

“…Are we there yet now?” Mikey whined louder. 

“No, Mike.” Donnie huffed through his palm as he rested his cheek on his hand, effortlessly playing his Nintendo Switch as he started to drown out his younger brother’s consistent complaining and restlessness. 

Which…you would think he got used to by now. 

The orange cladded turtle let out a short grunt loudly and dramatically, dragging his hands down his face, “Are we there yet now—?”

“Mikey, I swear to God if you ask that question one more damn time I will not hesitate to open the car door and throw you into ongoing traffic.” Raph growled lowly at the youngest. 

“Boys…be nice to each other, please…” Splinter exclaimed from the front seat as he drove. 

“But Dad! Mikey’s being annoying!” The tallest turtle moaned and groaned as he sunk in the middle seat.

“When is he not?” Donatello mumbled under his breath. 

“Boys…” The rat said warningly. 

“…Sorry, Dad…” The teenager’s grumbled collectively as they glared at one another. 

The rodent father sighed, plugging his phone into the car unit as he stopped on a red light. “…Why don’t we listen to some Podcasts on the radio?” He offered, trying to find something that his boys would enjoy that didn’t involve ripping each of their tails off.

“Yohou listen to podcasts?” The purple banded teenager exclaimed curiously as he took off his headphones. 

“Of course!” Splinter announced proudly, “I’ve been listening to this one that Spy-itify recommended me…it’s really good and well thought out!”

“It’s…It’s…'Spotify', Dad…” The hazelnut eyed teen corrected. 

“That’s what I said; 'Spy-itify'.” The father said simply, causing Raph to facepalm and stuff his face right back into his phone.

“What’s the podcast about?” Michelangelo asked as he leaned his head on the closed window as Splinter started to drive again once more.  

“It’s about this man talking about nature…it’s extremely interesting; I think you three will enjoy it.” The charcoal eyed rat explained. 

“Huh…sounds cool enough.” Donnie snickered, “What’s the guy’s name? Like, the one who mainly talks in the podcast and stuff.”

“Zach Green.” The rat said. 

“He sounds like a drug dealer…” Raphael mumbled under his breath, earning some small snickers from his younger brother’s as their Dad started to play the podcast in the vehicle. 

A guy, most likely 'Zach Green', started singing as there was a ukulele playing in the background…

…And he sang…

…And sang…

…And. SANG.

And the three teenager’s wouldn’t have minded if the dude sounded…y'know, good! 

But he didn’t sound good. 

At all. 

“Grass is green~! The green is the grass~! The grass is the green and the green itself is greeeen~!” The speaker’s sung as the three teenagers collectively sighed as the Podcast continued to play amongst them. 

“…How about we play 'I spy' instead of listening to Shaggy get high?” Mikey suggested as his Dad hummed along to the tune…

Poor soul probably knew this song from heart…

“Anything but this.” Donnie agreed. 

“Best idea I’ve heard all day.” The second oldest murmured, crossing his arms as he looked at the youngest expectantly, “Well? You gonna say 'I spy' or what?”

“Let a guy think for a moment!” Mikey shrieked, “Okay, okay, okay…I spy with my little eye—”

“—More like pink eye.” The turtle with glasses giggled under his breath, trying to cover it as a cough as he saw his younger brother side-eyeing him. “Y'know, Dee…we could really go.” The orange banded teenager glared.

“Bet. Catch me outside. 3:30 on the dot.” The purple cladded mutant threatened. 

“Bet.” The youngest repeated. 

Donatello raised an unamused brow, “I already said 'bet'��you phrase snatcher!” 

“You don’t own the word 'bet', you four-eyed freak!”

“God— 'BET' YOURSELVES!” Raphael snapped, taking a deep breath as he pinched the bridge of his snout, “I swear to literally anything and everything holy I am completely envying the fact that Leo doesn’t have to suffer in this freaking hell-hole with me.”

The second oldest leaned forward and tapped his Dad’s shoulder, “Speaking of which…how come Leo got to study with April while I—”

“We.” Donnie corrected swiftly. 

“—I had to stay with these two excuses for mutants, Dad?” Raphael continued, frowning deeper as his Dad became unresponsive and became completely entranced by the radio, “Dad? Dad? Dad? Daddy? Father? Dad— aaaaand you have your 'I’m locked in to this music' face…gotchu...” The tallest turtle huffed as he sat back down in the middle seat.

“As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted.” The youngest huffed, “I spy something…grey/gray.”

“Grey/Gray? Grey/Gray as in ashy? Ashy as in you?” Donnie smirked, his smirk turning to a smug grin as the orange banded teen glared back at him with a mix of disdain and pure disgust.  

“Donnie, I swear—”

“Is it the car seat?” Raph muttered, dying in complete humiliation about the fact that this was his onlysource of entertainment. 

Michelangelo shook his head, crossing his arms as he leaned back on the seat, “Nope. Try again.” 

“Is it…Dad’s fur?” The turtle with glasses guessed.

“Nooooooope!” The smallest mutant dragged out, sticking his tongue out at the second youngest causing Raph to just sigh, slumping in the chair further.

This car ride was going to be his 13 Reasons Why…

“Okay…seriously, though. Raph-Taff, what’s up?” Mikey asked carefully, looking over his older brother’s stiff and utterly overall unhappy demeanor. 

The second oldest just grunted, glancing away and his frown drooping as he locked eyes with his immediate younger brother, “You can tell us anything.” Donnie assured.

“Well…not everything. Almost everything. Semi-everything.” The genius clarified, “Buuuut you get the point…”

“No, no Ihi really really dohon’t...” The red banded teen grimaced. 

“What Egghead Humpty Dumpty is trying to say is that you can tell us what’s bothering you. You haven’t been your usual…let’s just say 'Sarcastic Sappy Self'.” The hazel eyed teen confirmed, biting back a chuckle as he saw his purple themed brother gasp in offense. 

“I just needa get out of here…” Raphael emphasized, rubbing his temples like he’s seen centuries worth of knowledge, “School was rough. School is annoying. Kids are annoying. Y'all are annoying— no offense.”

“None taken.” The two youngest said in sync.

“And I just need to distress…” Said the older turtle, going on his phone only to be met with a completely pitch black screen, “And my phone is dead. Yip dee doo da fuckin' day…” He cursed. 

Mikey rubbed his chin in thought, leaning on the inside door hand rest, “I have an idea for that, actually. Just trust me.”

“'I have an idea' and 'just trust me'…two words I never want to hear come out of your mouth ever again.” Donatello insisted almost immediatelty. 

“Shut up.” The smallest mutant exclaimed to his immediate older brother, inhaling and exhaling loudly before continuing, “Okay…so I spy with my little eye—“

“Seriously?” The elder mutant deadpanned. 

“Trust me, I said!!!” The younger shouted once more to try and get his point across, “I spy something…black.” 

“…Black?” The second youngest asked, tilting his head. 

“Black.” Mikey confirmed.

“Ohooo…black.” Donatello snapped his fingers, nodding as he relaxed in his seat. 

“Black!” Michelangelo beamed as Raphael looked around in confusion, wondering if his younger brother’s were going to elaborate on this whole 'black' nonsense or if they were just going to communicate via gibberish. 

The red banded teen scratched his head in confusion, “…What is happening…?”

The youngest gave his red cladded older brother a knowing look, causing the red cladded mutant in question to just simply sigh longly, “Right riiiight…trust. I got it…”

“Uhhh…” Raphael hummed, looking around the car for something…well, black; as his little brother’s so veeeeery clearly stated. 

The chocolate eyed teen raised an uncertain eye ridge, pointing at his own black sweatshirt that he was wearing. 

The purple and orange duo nodded, “See? Black!” Donnie grinned, poking his older brother’s sides and causing his older brother in question to shriek loudly and try to cover his middles, wiggling his way over more to Michelangelo. 

Whiiiiiich…was a first. 

“Yeah! Black!” The smallest mutant smirked cheeringly, prodding the other side of the black sweatshirt wearing boy, “You got it?”

“Ihihi gohohot ihihat I-Ihi gahat ihat!!” Raph said immiediatley, kicking his legs on the car floor as he pushed on the other two’s shoulder’s. “Ehhhhh…I don’t think you do…” The young genius teased lightly. 

“Dohon’t a-act smahart with me yohou l-lihittle shIHIT NO!! Mihikey nonononohoh!” He said as he saw Mikey wiggling his fingers near his neck, causing him to try and hide his face in Donnie’s shoulder, swatting the youngest away. 

“D'aww~! Hey, big bro! Need a hug~?” The scientist said innocently, wrapping the taller in a hug as the shortest of the three skittered and scratched the red banded mutant’s shell lightly; almost barelytouching it. 

The red banded mutant in question wheezed loudly, banging his fists on the car seat whilst his legs stomped up and down, “Wohohoah! Mr. Deflating Balloon Man— yohou okay?” Mikey teased, making sure to trace the patterns on his elder brother’s shell in a very veeeery mean manner. 

“Are you boys alright back there?” Splinter asked, getting out of his trance as the podcast soon and finally ended. 

“We’re fine!” Donnie beamed, wiggling his fingers into the crooks of the chocolate eyed teen’s neck right beside him, “Right, Raph?”

Raph squealed loudly with laughter, not answering.

Well…not answering in word form, perhaps.

The Father rolled his eyes fondly at his son's, looking away from the rearview mirror and focusing back on the road. 

“See!? He agrees.” The youngest beamed, “We’re perfectly fine and dandy, Dadio.”

“'Fine and dandy?'” Donnie repeated in amusement, causing the orange banded teen to almost laugh as loudly as Raph currently was.

Key word: Almost. 

“Fine and dandy.” Michelangelo confirmed, kneading his hot-headed brother’s hips and sides as the taller leaped like a drunk frog, “STAHAHOP!! HIC LEHEHET HIC HIC GOHOHOH!!!” 

“People are gonna think we’re beating you up or something by the way you’re squirming, bud.” The purple banded turtle joked, letting go of the taller teenager as the smaller teenager spidered his fingers all over his tummy.

“MIHIHIHIKEY!!!” The older wailed, pushing the other’s hands away as they slowly but surely stopped. 

The two youngest’s giggled, fist bumping each other for successfully turning Raph’s frown upside down. 

Splinter drove into the O’Neil’s driveway as Leo walked out of the front door to the apartment, waving his goodbyes to April as he got into the car. 

The eldest sat in the front seat, buckling up as their Dad drove to their home.

The blue banded teenager let out a small snort, looking towards the back to see his immediate younger brother’s face the exact same shade as his own bandana, “Jeeheez..whahat dihid I miss?” 

“I daha— hic don’t wanna tahalk ahabohout it…” Raph grumbled, his beet red blush deepening on his face as Donnie and Mikey snickered slightly, giving each other one last fist bump of victory.

Okay, so this is the first time I've properly sat down and drawn TMNT art in a while - the last time I drew Rise characters was probably 2 years ago? I was interested in TMNT, mainly Rise, for a solid 2 years, it fizzled out for a year, and this year it came crawling back so I obviously had to draw my favourite boy, Donnie!

This is part of my AU where Donnie got lost in the Todd Scouts ep, Donnie is forced to navigate this new environment and learn how to survive in it - he's initially frustrated, but soon begins to find more of an interest in biology and slowly becomes more and more accepting of nature.

He doesn't think he misses his phone as much anymore.

So, here's Wild Don! This is a photo I took earlier, so forgive me for a few missing details, I've added his mask tails and added tears in his actual mask to make him look a bit more scruffy since.

That's like, leaves (?) Foliage, around his shoulders, think of a fur boa... but leaves.

[sealofarchives]

Misc mini-oneshot 1 (Mainly platonic)

Warnings: None

A/N: I didn't make any edits so if some of the dialogue feels wonky (I had to deal with some annoying real life stuff which sort of influenced to writing this)

This is probably shorter than what I usually write so, I don't want to jinx myself with other stuff while I'm busy with classes

The three turtles hovered over the softshell turtle's shoulders as Donnie looked over (Y/N)'s new phone and the phone case covering it.

"For something that's supposed to protect the phone, Raph doesn't get why it has to be close to 50 bucks..."

"Its mainly because of the phone case, also acting as a charging system for some wireless ports."

"I still don't believe its quote on quote 'made of recyclable material' from what the packaging box says."

Donnie hands back your phone to you as you sighed.

"I kind of got rushed to pick a case because apparently there's also a difference between the regular and pro versions."

"I didn't want to stick with a bland basic color one but, the other options were either really tacky stuff. Or just random flower decorations."

"I think the flowers look really nice!"

"We could surprise you with a different phone case for your birthday!"

You smiled back at Mikey as his brothers were slightly humored at the idea.

"No offense, still insane that you went a week and four days only using it for assignments."

"And when you spent an entire Sunday waiting on a replacement battery from the store. Only for it to be a waste of time, realizing how old the phone really is."

You winced looking at the new phone just as Raph lightly smacked Leo's forehead from his comment.

"The old phone was a gift from one of my aunts but, since it takes like an hour to get there. Including her being busy with work, where it took until this Monday where she finally got the transfer pin..."

"I don't want to drive the same bad luck at Donnie."

"I dunno you were pretty lucky that your teacher got your email about the sudden situation. And she didn't mind the small updates in case the phone battery got in the way of your assignments."

"Also you got to see an old favorite character of yours from an unexpecting place regarding this year's halloween theme."

"Donnie would have gone into mad scientist mode if he got stuck with the situation you were in."

Donnie furrowed his brows at the box shell turtle in annoyance as you quickly changed the subject.

"Part of me was kind of stubborn not wanting to start fresh with the new phone."

"Like I was realizing how much I saved a lot of goofy photos of stuff I like and eventually..."

"The good times we have hanging out together."

"I might have gone on my parents' nerves about it but, I don't regret making that decision. Even if it felt like a witch cursed me with the worst tech issues."

Gentle smiles brightened the lair as Donnie scoffed.

"A cybernetic witch is nothing compared to my superb tech ninpo!"

"She could not handle the arsensal of various weapons aimed at her or making the worst mistake of picking on (Y/N)!"

"Mikey was right about the mad scientist part, just under a different context."

Donnie then proceeded to chase after his siblings as Raph saw a glance of your phone's screen.

The alligator snapping turtle grinning at the same photo that finally made you part of their chaotic friend group. Almost squished together in a group hug with April but, you hugging back at them.

—Letter From my Future Self—

————————————————————————————

Chapter 2: The Beginning

————————————————————————————

Note: I don’t know how to continue from the last chapter… This chapter takes place 1 month after the fight but before he is in the apocalypse. Sorry if that's confusing.

Everything finally seemed to be settling down. They had a new lair, practically

Everyone's injuries were healed, and they finally had a break.

So, to celebrate their victory over Shredder, Leo suggested they all go to Run of the Mill, which they did. Since no one had any plans, they thought walking there together and dining in would be fun. It was a nice walk filled with idle conversations and clever quips, which continued as they were seated.

Once the pizza arrived, Donnie enjoyed his classic pepperoni pizza, Mikey and Raph dug into their Meat Lovers, and Leo ordered a disgraceful pineapple pizza. Donnie would never understand his twin’s love for pineapple on pizza. Donnie honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Leo only pretended to like it to annoy him.

As their random conversations ended, Raph asked, “So, are you guys ready to head back?”

“Aw, come on, already? We just got here!” Leo whined.

“Actually, we've been here for approximately,” Donnie paused to check the time on his phone, “One hour and forty-three minutes… give or take.”

“Oh, I know! We should have a movie night!” Mikey chimed in from his side of the table. There was a hum of agreement from everyone before Leo quickly called dibs on the movie rights.

They had left Run of the Mill about 10 minutes ago, preferring the walk rather than portals yet again. Donnie had texted April about the movie night, to which she excitedly responded with an all-caps “YESSS” before he shared the disappointing news that Leo had chosen the movie. Upon hearing that, her excitement seemed to dwindle ever so slightly. They could only assume he would choose Jupiter Jim Sails the Seven Galaxies, mainly because Leo refused to tell them his choice. Although he constantly reassured Donnie by saying, “Trust me! You’re going to love it!”

After walking a few more minutes, they made it to the entrance of their new lair in the subway.

Mikey and Leo rushed forward to claim their favorite movie seats while Raph set up his cushioned nest that he always made out of his many plushies, pillows, and blankets for movie nights.

Donnie would have joined the rest of his family, but he thought he’d stay a little further away in the subway for now. He wanted to make sure April came safely. She had only been to the new lair a handful of times, and it was always hard to navigate, especially now that they didn't have Mikey’s graffiti to help guide them. All around the old lair was graffiti carefully thrown up with hints, only visible to those who knew what to look for, to direct them through the sewers. In this new lair, he had hardly any time to decorate the walls with his colorful masterpieces, although he had started a piece dedicated to Gram Gram where they planned to make their new dojo.

Donnie sat there, absently messing with his goggles, as he waited for April. Flipping them over his eyes and back to their place on his head. He messed with the settings. Went through a couple of his videos. He stumbled upon one particularly funny reenactment of a Lou Jitsu movie they had done. They turned the volume off and voiced over a couple scenes, purposefully getting the script wrong to annoy Pops. After that, he flipped the goggles back over his eyes and reviewed the settings options. He ventured through the different modes until he found himself looking around the subway in an attempt to pick up any mystic frequencies.

Towards the lair, he could see large traces of mystic energy, the significant amount easily explained by his brothers’ ninpo.

Mikey had said he could feel their ninpo, which made no sense. Their ninpo was something deep within them that wasn't tangible. He didn’t understand how Mikey could ‘feel’ it, but now, with the help of the crystal from Draxun’s lab, he found a way to, in a sense, ‘see’ their ninpo. So, though he still couldn’t feel their ninpo, he could see it radiating all around them. It was… comforting in a way. He didn’t know if he would ever comprehend the magic within them, but seeing it helped him understand it.

Although, after he turned away from the lair, he saw faint wisps of mystic energy different from his brother’s. “Well that’s new,” he muttered to himself. They seemed… familiar, though he couldn't place it. Like a dream, you can’t remember or a thought you just lost

The wisps, once scattered and roaming, seemed to be gathering together. “I should archive this… for my mystic archive,” Donnie whispered as he pressed record.

The wisps briefly flickered brighter before dimming to their original faint glow. Then they started moving again, floating higher a few feet from him.

Donnie stared and whispered, “Maybe I should get the others,” but the moment he turned his head towards the lair he felt a pulse of energy.

He whipped his head back toward the wisps only to find what looked like a crack in the air, vibrant and sparking. He stood in shock as he saw the sparking crack in the air slowly expand. “Cool, cool, cool. This is fine,” He reassured himself as he began to examine the crack from what he deemed a safe distance, “Ah yes, what a completely normal and scientifically possible… thing I am seeing. He said sarcastically.”

Within a moment the crack became a gaping hole slightly larger than himself. He flipped his goggles to their place on his head and witnessed the vibrant orange tear through the air. It was like a fire burning and crackling.

In any other scenario, he would have rushed to his brothers to alert them of this cosmic anomaly but as soon as the crackling hole appeared it began to fade. It crackled and flickered unstablely. He needed to know more about it before it was gone. He couldn't let this go unexplained.

So, without thinking, he stepped towards it, reached forward, and his fingertips went through.

It was a strange sensation. His fingertips felt numb but… slightly tingling with a dull sting. Not enough to hurt, just a minor discomfort. He carefully pulled his fingers out. No harm done. The hole was still shrinking so he kept investigating while he could.

He reached his fingertips in, then pushed his hand through. The same tingling feeling now engulfed his whole hand. His eyes were fixed on the orange glow wrapping around his wrist. He watched the crackling edges with a focused stare, trying to gather as much information as possible.

A sudden vibrant blue contrasted the orange glow. Before he could take in the sudden scenery change, a loud (and rather obnoxious) voice shouted from behind, “Hey Don-Tron, Where’s April??”

Donnie startled, his concentration snapped from the glowing crack and he began to fall forward. Reflexively, he thrust his arm forward to catch himself— that arm being the same one currently inside a glowing mystic hole. The action practically throwing himself into it.

Suddenly, It was as if everything had stopped. His body slowed as it approached the mystic hole, his mind racing. He tried to move, to catch himself with his battleshell, but his body wouldn't react.

Then all too fast time seemed to catch up to him. Gravity heavily pushed against him, “Nononono NO,” he screamed as he plummeted face-first into the glowing unknown.

I love the pb&j duo, ranking second on my personal list (beaten slightly by the sunset duo in some iterations, mainly 2003). As a whole I like the B Team dynamic the best, as sometimes it is favoured above the sunset duo depending on the iteration :)

I am actually on holiday starting tomorrow, for a week, so I might be delayed in updating anyway dw. I hope you enjoy your trip, sounds so cool!

Donnie is working on some little bipedal turtle 3D models. He explained it was for a new game idea he had. The audience was kinda confused, because Donnie was already still working on his other games project. So they asked.

"Hmm? I see a good portion of the chat today are not part of that Discord. In short, the game is basically done. We're just going through a rigorous bug hunt, and one other issue before release." Donnie switches the screen to show a menu screen.

On the menu screen is three 3D anime style girls in typical poses, but then it glitches slightly so the girls eyes are now purple with some symbols in them, before going back. Also on the screen is a little dragon like stuffed animal that moves between the girls. The game title is 'Stream Restore!' in changing font so that it matches each girls aesthetic.

"For those you don't know this is Stream Restore, the game in question. I won't go into detail because I might spoil something. The main reason, other than bugs, that we haven't released it yet is mainly distribution. And maybe some localization issues. But most how do we distribute the game to others."

Donnie switches to a screen with a spreadsheet of pros and cons of different places that indie developers can sell their games from.

"Clears Throat. As you can see, we're going over the different, would the word be publishers?, sites that you buy the game from, you can see we even have a note of just distributing it ourselves from our store, but it's still a bit of a holdup." Donnie stops to take a drink from a cup that reads 'Spare Battery Juice'.

"Anywho, that is for a different day. What I want to focus on is seeing how well I can put together this new game. It's going to just be a little 'Cozy Game' thing. Though it's going to be based on our backstory. Let me bring up the-" Donnie pauses and turns to look slightly down at something.

"Hello. How may I help you, little lost one?" Donnie quickly mutes his mic before anything else can be heard.

The audience can see that Donnie is talking to someone, and even grabbing his phone to call someone. But they're going a bit nuts with wondering what is going on.

Then Donnie, without un muting, switches the screen to show a game environment that resembles a defunct underground train station with fairt lights strung all over. He then starts to add and move around little pieces of furniture. Then adding one of the little turtle models and had it walking around the environment.

For the next few minutes Donnie is moving things around and changing colors, and switch out the turtle with a salamander, and then started to dress up the model.

He pauses again, and looks up towards someone likely Raph and talks with them shortly before they left, and Donnie un mutes his mic.

"Sorry about that. Red is watching Stars sibling again, and they keep wandering off during games. And apparently they like the studio because of the random stuff we leave sitting around here." Donnie pauses to look behind himself at the studio, "We should clean up a bit in here, some of this stuff is a potential tripping hazard... but that is for later. Now let me actually explain what I was just doing while entertaining my potential younger brother-in-law."

The next bit of the stream is just that. Going over various ideas for this little game, and possible plans. All while purposefully ignoring those who want to know more about the 'brother-in-law' comment.

Masterpost

I feel like I'm just gonna start having Donnie talk about game ideas I have, but no idea how to make them, or if they're possible.

Donnie's 'Eating Disorder' (Rottmnt Headcanon)

(it's not really an eating disorder, just read below)

All four of the turtles were designed with the perfect soldier in mind. Naturally strong, with high potency in various stats like speed, defense, and power. Meant to walk after taking hits that would kill a lesser creature. Meant to dish out punishment unlike anything even the most skill warriors can do.

And part of that, comes with being thin/not having excessive fat build-up. They were designed with metabolisms meant to break down anything. Food is nothing to them. Obviously, they still need to worry about proper nutritional intake, but they can eat as much junk food as they want and not gain a pound.

So, because of that, the turtles could be classified as having chronic hypermetabolism. However, this is not a problem for Raph, Leo, or Mikey, since they have voracious appetites to compensate.

Donnie, however, being autistic, is cursed with poor interoception (or the sensory awareness of what is happening in the body, like hunger, thirst, tiredness, and even emotions-- and he is all-but-confirmed as alexithymic). He is unable to recognize the signs of hunger in his body. While he's good at eating routinely, he struggles with eating ENOUGH (he would think a bowl of crackers and juice was a good lunch), and if he doesn't satisfy his metabolism, it's quick to turn to his fat stores and muscles for more.

There was a terrifying time, when he was just starting puberty, where he wasn't growing and he was dangerously underweight. It terrified everyone, even Donnie. For a while, he was forced to calorie-count and keep a food diary so they could all track his eating habits and make sure he was getting enough. This also helped him learn his body's limits and how to properly take care of himself.

Nowadays, he's typically fine and can manage himself well. He only skips out if he's really anxious, which can make him feel nauseous and discourage eating even further, or if he's deep in hyperfixation and just forgets. He tries to push himself to remember, even having alarms telling him to eat set on his phone (and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. probably occasionally helps with this, when he's created). His brothers definitely stay alert to make sure he STAYS at a healthy weight range. If Donnie isn't eating, it's a cause for panic, mainly due to how sick he got when he was younger.

They classify it as a hypermetabolic disorder, or sometimes just call it hypermetabolism. Leo insists on calling it a 'weird eating disorder' despite everyone's protests. He believes that calling it an eating disorder emphasizes its seriousness (since it's just as terrifying as one). Whether or not he's brought up that reason to anyone else is not confirmed.

—————————

This has no grounds in canon at all. This is just something I made up, but is based on my actual experience. This purple turtle already has so many little things of mine, what's one more? Whatever I had was never as serious as Donnie, and I don't remember the full story, but I know there was a period of time where I wasn't gaining weight. I saw a doctor and was on appetite medication for a while, though I've long since moved on from both now. My theory, based on my spotty information, is that it was a missed sign of autism, with the poor interoception and whatnot.

I don't currently plan on tackling the actual narrative in a fic (mainly because I haven't had a strong vision for it), but it's just something I'll reference from time to time. However, as a sneak peak, one of my Bad Things Happen Bingo prompts will deal with this directly ("Denied Food as Punishment"). No promises on when that'll be out, though. I got 25 prompts and have started none.

"Don't worry... I'm your friend, remember?"

Well, I finally got one of my sketches done. I must say, drawing on the phone is more difficult than I used to remember. The only difference between the two drawings is the eye color.

Anyway, while I was drawing this, I was thinking about two possible scenarios:

Content Warning: Yandere, obsessive and controlling behavior, stalking(mainly online), catfishing, kidnapping mention.

About Y/N: they/them pronouns and neutral terms, such as: obsession, friend, darling, when talking about the reader.

1) Donnie befriending and becoming obsessed with someone he met online. It would go as far as straight-up kidnapping or with him pretending to be human using the Cloaking brooch and meeting up with them a few times, but eventually, his friend finds out. Maybe it would depend on how far the obsession had gone.

2) Or Donnie hacking Y/N's friends' devices and pretending to be them, so he can gather some information about his darling and then, ruin whatever friendships and relationships they have. I imagine that he would just delete the contact, or hack the person's account and use it to permanently block Y/N if it was just a friend or someone they didn't talk to that much, but if it was someone they were close to, talked to all the time, or even worse: someone his obsession liked, and even flirted with... Donnie would go an extra mile, to say the least.

There is a fanfic here on Tumblr with the second scenario I mentioned called "All for You.", I recommend checking out ^^ .

I was taking a break from drawing this, I think two days ago, when I happened to stumble across this fanfic.

That's it for today. I will post some fluff next time, probably traditional art (along with some of my digital drawing failures) because drawing on my phone is ✨️painful✨️, bye.

Mutant Mayhem Spoilers

(Donnie appreciation post, he’s a little instigator)

Okay I’m being a little Dramatic abt the instigator thing, but I think I’m mostly right.

Before MM was released and all we had were trailers I heard a lot of people talking about the potential dynamics of all the brothers, mainly that Raph was going to be the Rebel older brother that Donnie and Mikey follow with Leo being a wet blanket.

And while they were right about Leo being a wet blanket sometimes (it’s the anxiety), I think Donnie takes the mantle for a lot of the rule breaking and planning in this movie.

In the very beginning when Raph suggests staying out longer, Donnie instantly pulled out his phone and put the idea of the Movie in everyone’s heads. Didn’t even wait for Leo to response before he was off and Raph and Mikey followed. Almost like he already had it locked and loaded.

Donnie is the first one to come up with the plan to gain acceptance through catching Superfly, which all his brothers are immediately on board.

In almost every scene when Donnie is driving he’s always pulling some NASCAR, Mario cart, movie logical racing that gets them out of all pinches, and-

Donnie was the one who snapped out of it the quickest when Superfly was threatening to grind them into powder- able to divert attention and make the whole ‘we don’t like this plan’ seem like a joke and even offering to drive by himself so they could be closer to the machine piece.

He’s also the first one who yells at Cynthia when they’re put in the milking machine, which requires some guts ngl-

Almost every plan or outspoken moment or even quick save is done by Donnie. (With Raph coming in second for those quick saves)

I’m just super happy that Donnie got a ton to do in this movie and we can really see his potential.

And Donnie is still the smartest! He wasn’t the smartest because he was a tech master, he was the smartest because he could drive and he’s straight up the biggest opportunist in the film, with his smarts being more subtle then outright. It’s a different take on Donnie’s intelligence and I’m really glad they did it.

Tmnt 2012 Leonardo’s Knee injury ramble that became a ficlet

Ever since Leo’s awoken from his coma he’s been dealing with a issue. Now it’s not major enough for him to even think about burdening Donnie with.

His knee aches, a deep white hot pain that slowly drags its way up and down his leg. His knee fucking hurts. He can’t meditate the way he’s used to, the weight of his body is too much for his frazzled nerves

Sleeping with his knee wrapped is uncomfortable. He hates the way the makeshift brace of bandages leaves raw grooves across his knee. Waking up in more pain than he was the night prior, the skin under his ‘brace’ practically burning.

The usual stealth he’s been accustomed to his whole life— even before ninja training— his ability to practically glide across the floor, is gone. Overtaken by his Goddamn. Leg.

His leg creaks and groans with every step his takes, the popping of joints announcing his presence to a room before he even reaches the door. Its greatly frustrating when he’s trying to listen in on Raph and Donnie discussing His recovery and they can hear his ankle pop from behind the door. Or he turns to quick and hip pops.

He’s considered some nights when the pains too much, and the tears build too quickly. Just getting rid of his leg entirely. It wouldn’t hurt, at least not as bad as his leg hurts now— It would probably be a improvement! What good is a ninja who’s leg announces them to their enemies like their a cowboy entering a bar in a western film, foot stepping on that one floorboard to creak announcing them to the bar.

He can’t even sit comfortably!! Bending his knee at all causes teeth grinding pain. No more sitting on the heels of his feet. No more sitting cross legged on the couch bowl of popcorn resting between his leg. No more cozy nights huddled in a semi ball reading space hero’s fanfics on his phone.

He’s damned to a life of watching his brothers frantically clear a space from the coffee table because he wanted to sit with them— but his fucking leg needs to be straight and resting on something to Not hurt. He just wants to cry sometimes, why him why did it have to be him.

He has such a small amount of things that make him happy why did Shredder have to take the few things he had that were HIS and replace it with this fucking pain.

Let me know if I need to add any trigger/content warnings. I don’t think I do bc this is mainly just me pushing my chronic knees pain onto Leo. I feel like it would crush him to try to meditate in his usual form but it hurts to much to focus.

Baby Blue (Chapter 12)

Rise of the TMNT Leonardo/Usagi Chapter 12 of a longer fic THIS IS PART OF A SERIES - might be confusing to read without context

AO3

---

Texting Usagi takes him three more days.

Almost literally, because the notes on his phone quickly fill up with dozens of more or less comprehensive combinations of the same few words:

'Hey. Can I take you out for dinner?'

He types it out, over and over again.

He thinks it makes him sound lame. He thinks it makes him sound like an asshole.

And when he finally sends it, the response makes him pause for the next five minutes.

-]I'm free after 10

Because, really, what is he supposed to do with that?

Dinner at ten in the evening is too early for him, too late for Usagi, and asking: 'how about tomorrow?', somehow makes him look both desperate and disinterested.

His fingers hover over his phone, and the entire thing makes him want to throw up.

Finally, he texts back:

[- I'll pick you up then.

He spends the rest of his sleepless afternoon pacing around The Lair, and generally getting in everyone's way, which is not that far from his usual activities. But he's tense and anxious, and that makes something on Raph's face softens when he sees him.

“He's not going to bite you,” Raph tells him, but he sounds a bit unsure of that himself, and that doesn't make Leo feel much better.

He agonizes over what he wants to do, what he wants to say, over and over again. He thinks he's doing too much, then too little, then too much again. He's not sure what to wear, what to bring, where to go.

He feels like he's going crazy.

***

The first thing that comes to Leo's mind when he sees Usagi again is: 'woah'.

His friend looks exactly like he usually does, dressed in sweats and plain tee, and Leo wonders if there will ever come a time when his knees don't go numb at just the sight of him.

Probably. But maybe not.

Both options seem equally enticing, mainly because they both mean he gets to see him at all, and as far as Leo's concerned, that doesn't sound like a bad future at all.

“Hey,” he says, because: 'I'm so sorry, please don't hate me' sounds just a bit too pathetic, even for his own low standards.

“Hey,” Usagi repeats.

He's not exactly smiling, but he doesn't seem particularly angry or upset, just a little hesitant, which is the best Leo could've hoped for, really.

He's not really sure how to convince him he won't burn him again, but he will try, even if it takes years. Even if it kills him.

“I, uhm.” Leo rubs the side of his neck, reaching for his sword. “I wanna show you something.”

Usagi studies him for a moment, then looks down, tugging at the edge of his shirt.

“Is this enough?”

Leo, momentarily busy watching his hands, takes a moment to fully realize he's being asked anything.

“Sorry?”

“Is this enough? For where we're going?”

Usagi's face does a curious thing, like he's slightly charmed at the attention but too prideful to give in quite yet.

“Oh,” Leo says. “Yeah, it's fine.”

“Okay.” Usagi locks his fingers, folding his hands in front of his stomach. His foot shifts on the ground, like he's trying hard to keep it still. “Wouldn't wanna be underdressed for a date again.”

“Again?” Leo says, dumbly. Then, blushing: “It's a date?”

Usagi blinks at him.

“What else would it be?”

He seems a little nervous just then, like he's afraid he crossed over some kind of line, and Leo fumbles for a moment, hands awkwardly patting against his legs in a very Donnie-like gesture.

“An... Apology?”

Usagi watches him for a moment, frowning.

Then, there's finally a shadow of a smile tugging at the corner of his lip.

“That's a start.”

When they're crossing his portal, Leo's stomach sways, and he's not sure it's just from the magic.

His feet touch the warm sand, and he lingers for a moment, a little too sheepish to look back at his friend at first.

When he finally does, Usagi's blinking, eyes adjusting to the dark, brows furrowed.

“Woah,” he says, simply.

The beach is dark, the sun far behind the horizon, but it's a full moon, and there's a string of fairy lights hanging from the nearest, awkwardly bent tree. Leo spent an hour trying to pick out the most presentable blanket they owned, and it lays flat on the sand now, stark and red.

He always feels like every beach he goes to has a different sea, and it never looks the way it does in his dreams.

“Yeah,” Leo says.

He feels stupid all of a sudden.

It is stupid, all of it. How hard he's trying; how much he likes this boy, and how fast it's turning into something more.

And then Usagi turns to him, a wide grin stretching his lips, and he says: 'This is beautiful', and Leo thinks he doesn't really mind after all.

“I'm sorry,” he says, finally, because the guilt might eat him from the inside out if he doesn't.

Usagi doesn't answer.

He's been watching him a lot tonight, and he does it again now, but his expression seems a bit softer.

He walks up to the blanket, looking over the basket Leo set on the edge of it.

“Oh, yeah.” Leo laughs a little, mostly to hide his embarrassment. “I got us, uhm, some snacks? Sorry if you were expecting something more...”

“I wasn't,” Usagi says, kneeling down. “You can't have dinner after ten.”

Leo sighs, shoulders relaxing slightly.

“That's what I said.”

Usagi looks up at him, patting the blanket next to himself.

“Don't just stand there.”

Leo hesitates.

Usagi looks pretty in the low light, and Leo's legs feel numb, and he gets the sudden feeling that if he sits this close he might do something stupid.

Like try to kiss him. Or cry.

He sits down on the blanket right in front of his friend and gives him a smile that he hopes comes off both casual and apologetic. Clearly it doesn't, because Usagi frowns, maybe a little concerned.

“Leo, listen.” He leans down a little to meet his gaze, hands on his thighs, and it's only then that Leo realizes he's been slouching, shoulders raised. “It's fine, I'm not angry anymore.”

Leo straightens, fingers playing with the ends of his mask.

“You don't-” He stops, sighs. “That wasn't- Look.”

He puts his hands down, feeling a deep hole inside his chest.

It's not the first time he's done this – roll over and show that delicate side of him that would break under any slight pressure. But the fear never passes, and he wonders if it ever will.

“I'm an asshole,” he says, finally.

He's not sure what he expects. But Usagi only leans away on his hands, raising an eyebrow, and it almost makes him a little angry.

“Really?”

It's probably a joke, but Leo doesn't laugh.

“Really,” he says, harsher than he intended. “I- I try not to be, and then-” He stops for a moment, taking a breath. His lungs feel shallow. “And then I do it again.”

Usagi's face falls a little, into something more serious, and he tilts his head in thought.

“Well,” he says, finally, “you've always been kind to me.”

Leo laughs a little at that, mostly out of sheer helplessness.

“Is the bar that low?”

Just then, he remembers something. 'He's a bit of a lovebug', Donnie told him, and it now makes him wonder how it ended, all those times before him.

There's a small ache of second-hand hurt deep inside his chest.

Their loss, he thinks, and he means it with every bone in his body.

“Leo,” Usagi sighs, like he just said something particularly cruel about himself and not the honest truth. “I like you.”

He says it so casually, so offhand, between one gesture and another, and it makes Leo's heart stagger for a moment.

I like you too, he wants to say.

Because he does, and it's late in the evening, and they're so far away from the city you can see all the stars.

But there's still a deep pit inside his gut, and things he needs to say, like he won't trust any of this until he's laid it all out.

“I don't want you to fix me.”

His hands shake ,and he shoves them into the pocket of his hoodie awkwardly.

It feels strange to be talking about all of this, just like that. Like it's a moment that requires some grand gestures, long camera shots, and an appropriate soundtrack.

But Usagi doesn't even look at him, shaking sand off his palm.

“Good. 'Cuz I'm not planning to.”

Leo's mouth turns into a thin line.

“I don't think I can be fixed.”

There's still some of that fear left in him, and he's not sure he'll ever be able to get rid of it. The fear that there's nothing left to save, that he's been nothing but anger and anger for years and years.

At that, Usagi finally looks up.

And he looks at Leo like he thinks he's being a fool. Like he can see past all the walls he's built around himself over the years, like he's one of the few people to ever consider all the bricks might be hollow.

“I like you just the way you are.”

There's annoyance and deep fondness and something else in his eyes, and Leo doesn't understand any of it as much as he wants to bask in it forever.

Leo doesn't answer, fingers flexing on the sand below the blanket, and Usagi's eyes narrow.

“Do you remember when we went to that festival?”

Leo blinks.

He hesitates for a moment, unsure of what to say.

“Yes?”

Usagi shifts a little, like he's trying to get more comfortable.

“You got me a plushie and I started crying,” Usagi says, voice plain.

“Oh.”

“Yeah.” He looks up, giving him a bitter smile. “I don't even know why it was all just- So much.” There's a small frown forming between his eyes. “And I thought: 'Oh, here it comes. This is the moment when he'll finally notice I'm a handful'. But you didn't.”

For a moment, Leo stays silent.

He's not sure he's hearing him right, and when he is, he needs a second to stop himself from simply grabbing Usagi by the arms and shaking him as hard as he can.

It's strange and hurts in an unexpected way, because his friend never struck him as particularly self-conscious in any way, and Leo wouldn't find any reasons for him to be even if he tried.

That sounds a bit foolish even to his own mind, and he knows he might be biased, but he's long past the point of caring.

“'Sagi,” he says, and it comes out just a little too soft, a bit too much like a plea. “I wouldn't-”

“That's the point!”

Usagi shifts so he sits just a bit closer to Leo. There's a shadow of something unequally desperate and eager on his face, like he's been waiting for an opportunity to say this out loud for a while. Which seems odd, because Leo didn't think he'd ever held back from saying anything in his entire life.

“What?” Leo says.

“I'm weird. Oh, don't look at me like that,” Usagi scoffs, and Leo supposes he can't be too mad. He was looking at him like that.

“Sorry,” he says, but he's not. Not really.

“I am,” Usagi repeats. There's suddenly something distant in his gaze, like it's not so much a fresh scar but an open wound he thinks might never heal. “I know what people say about me. I know people don't like me.”

Leo opens his mouth, then closes it. It was like diving into deep water from the start, but now he can feel the water fill his lungs – completely out of his depth.

He wants to say something, anything really, but then Usagi reaches out, putting his palm to the side of his neck, finger brushing his jaw, and suddenly he's drowning in something else entirely.

“That's not...”

That's not right. That's not fair. He still doesn't know.

“I don't know how to act around people,” Usagi says quietly. “You can't even take me on a festival date because I might just start crying.”

“I'm-” He pauses to swallow because Usagi takes this moment to press his thumb into the soft skin under Leo's chin. “You're allowed to be upset.”

Usagi's face does a complicated thing, like it's something he's been telling himself for a while but can't quite believe, even when it's coming from someone else.

“And people are allowed to find it annoying.”

Leo shifts closer, their knees pressing together. One of his hearts beats hard against his ribs and it all feels a bit unreal.

“I didn't know it bothered you like this.”

He regrets it just then – not saying anything sooner. Not grabbing his arms and telling him: ''You're not crazy and there are other people like you''. He feels like a bad friend, all of a sudden.

“It doesn't,” Usagi says, which sounds like a lie. “It's just hard sometimes. I don't know if I'm doing this whole thing right. But you haven't run away yet, so maybe I'm doing something right.”

Leo reaches a hand, fingers closing around his friend's forearm.

He turns his head, cheeks brushing against Usagi's fingers. He burrows his face into his palm and places a kiss, right in the middle of it.

“You're doing a lot of things right,” he mumbles into his hand.

Usagi goes quiet.

When Leo turns to look at him again, his face seems just a shade pinker than it did before. It's hard to leave him flustered like this, and there's a flutter inside Leo's stomach every time he manages to do so.

“You too.” Usagi says finally, quieter than before. “You're always kind to me, Leo. I mean that. You don't-”

“'Sagi,” Leo interrupts. “I cannot express enough how much I don't care that you have-” He hesitates, because as much as he regrets not saying anything sooner, it is still a conversation they need to have later. “That you're different.”

“You do, tho!” Usagi sits a little straighter. “You care. You don't act like you're not seeing it.”

Leo doesn't know what to say for a moment.

He wants to ask again: 'Is the bar really that low?', but he already knows the answer to that one.

“I- I suppose,” he says finally, unsure.

“I don't feel like I have to act like someone I'm not when I'm with you,” Usagi says. Leo's never known him to be anything other than, loudly and unapologetically, himself. He wouldn't change that for the world. “And I don't want you to act like someone else, either.”

At that, Leo blinks. He forgot they were even talking about him in the first place.

He hesitates, suddenly cautious once again.

“I don't think that was someone else. I think I'm just like this.”

“No.” Usagi reaches, cradling Leo's face in both of his palms. “This is you.”

Both of those things can be true. They have been for the majority of his life.

But maybe, maybe, they don't have to be.

He covers Usagi's hands with both of his, feeling a familiar, hot pressure behind his eyes. There's a flash of embarrassment that passes over him, because crying is the last thing he wants to do right now. But his friend smiles, the red half-moons around his eyes crinkling, and suddenly it feels like it wouldn’t matter if he did.

Leo opens his mouth, searching for the right words; for a way to tell Usagi he thinks he's the best person he's ever met, that he's scared of ever hurting him like that again, that he's beautiful.

“I want to give this a try,” he says finally, because that at least will let him keep the last bits of dignity he still has left. “Whatever- Whatever you want this to be.”

Usagi looks at him for a moment, letting his hands fall onto his lap, and Leo wonders what it is that he's seeing. What he's thinking about. If his mind looks anything like Leo's when he watches him back.

And then Usagi leans in, grabbing the ends of Leo's mask to pull him closer. He rests a hand on his cheek, planting a quick but firm kiss on the other.

“Okay, pretty boy.”

He pulls away but only a little, equally hesitant to linger and to pull away.

Leo's cheek burns, and the slight touch makes his head rush with blood.

And he asks, because he needs to hear it again:

“Are you sure?”

Usagi's face turns into something a bit stern, like he just made up his mind about something. But before Leo's hearts have a chance to even skip another beat, he relaxes, then grins – open and wide.

He leans forward, hands linking behind Leo's neck, pulling him closer. And, like it's the simplest thing:

“Kiss me.”

And, like he never wanted anything more – Leo does.

The Devil That You Know - Chapter 3

“Are you worried?” Splinter asked. “I am sure Raphael is fine.”   “Is he?” Donatello let himself sit on the arm of the chair, let his father rub a hand against his arm. “He is not replying to my text.”  “You know your brother struggles with those phones.” His father snorted. “I do not know why you don’t make one bigger for him.”  A true statement, but it mainly came down to the fact that Raph broke the things so often, that Donnie couldn’t afford to custom build a phone every time. Getting a scrap one and rigging it was much more effective.   If Raphael made a phone last longer than a year, they could talk.  Until then his gaze shot daggers at his screen. He followed his father’s gentle tug on his sleeve and moved so they were both on the cushion of the large recliner. Splinter rubbed his shoulder now.   Still no response.  Donatello sent a few more texts, in all caps, pleading with his older brother to just say something. Even a selfie of him flipping Donnie off would be fine. At least that would mean he was safe and okay and not in danger or getting possessed again or—  “Donatello.” His father whispered. “You are holding your breath again.”

CHAPTER 4

The girls were in route to Brazil to begin their mission. Before leaving, the turtles gave them a proper send off. Exchanging hugs, kisses, added gear, advice, and some quickies mainly from Charlie and Mikey. The ride itself was full of thoughts regarding the flash in the sky.

"Neve! How close are we?" Alopex shouted out to the nanobot driving the jet.

"Estimated time of arrival: 1 hour." The nanobot responded accordingly.

"Very good. Gives us time to go over the layout of the facility. Alright, Second in Command, take the wheel." Alopex patted Dinah on the shoulder, Kenzi pulling up her hologram screen to begin.

"Got it. Alright. This is where the entrance is. There are guards surrounding the area." She explains, pointing out the guards assigned spots. "The compound itself is an abandoned factory. We take out the guards and make our move."

"There's also cameras posted outside. Ya know what that means?" Kenzi's twitched her tail in anticipation.

"Means we got ourselves a so-called 'professional." Charlie sashes, putting her feet on the table.

"Clearly. Kenzi, you use your tail to deactivate the cams." Dinah says.

"I'll go for the main room here and subdue the watchers." Alopex joined.

"We'll cause a stir, while Dinah rescues our captives." Kenzi adds.

The girls nodded in agreement.

"We got ourselves a plan ladies!" Alopex chimes using a country accent. "If you're good, Charlie, we'll let you use that special explosive Kenzi finalized." She winked.

Charlie started wagging her fox tail. "Oooohh. I can't wait. Just give me the word and BOOM! It's done."

Kenzi placed the device down on the table to keep it open for the ladies to go over a few more things. She excused herself to make a quick call to Donatello.

Charlie and Dinah looked at each other, smirking. Alopex glared at them,"Shut up, girls!" She grunted.

"We didn't say anything!" Charlie whined.

"Ya didn't have to! I see it all ova ya faces! Let's study this layout again see if there's anything else." She ordered.

Kenzi went into one of the cabins and closed the door. She pulled out her phone put Donnie on video chat. He answered.

Donatello: Hey Honey. What's up?

Kenzi: Us of course. Up in the sky. *snickers*

Donatello: Nice. How's the flight? Are the engines purring? Thrusters working accordingly? Navigation system up to par?

He rambled and she couldn't help but smile at her terrapin love.

Kenzi: Yes, Donnie. The jet is running smoothly. Thanks again for your help.

He snorts.

Donatello: It was nothing. Just helping out my girl.

Kenzi: Hey. It is something. Never downplay your work. Ever!

She raised her voice. He started to blush as she waved her cheetah tail at him.

Donatello: Still having those feelings from that flash?

Kenzi paused. The girls still had to discuss a few things but Kenzi knew there was more to that flash than what was being discussed.

Kenzi: Yes. Have there been anymore flashes since we left?

Donatello: There has. It seems like they occur during a certain time of day. Like in the evening when the sky gets dark.

Kenzi: Not sure what it is, but please be careful.

Donatello: We will. You as well, my love.

Before they signed off, Kenzi recalled something Donnie said last night.

Kenzi: Donnie? Remember how you described the flash last night?

He looked confused for a moment, then his memory started to kick in.

Donatello: Um, Yeah. It was a unnatural phenomenon.

Kenzi's tail twirled, Donnie catching it's movements.

Kenzi: Yes. That last part. Say it again, but softly.

Donnie laughed when he realized what she wanted. He leaned closer to the screen, giving her one of those looks men give their women during seduction.

Donatello: Unnatural Phenomenon....

Upon hearing him say it again, she started to purr and roll her body in the chair.

Kenzi: Oh Donnie. Of all voices I've heard in my life. Yours is the sexiest I've ever had the pleasure of coming to.

Donnie squeaked a bit. Like a nerd seeing boobs for the first time. Him and Kenzi have always been sexual to each other, she never ceases on getting him riled up.

Donatello: You're the sexy one. I'm just a freak with a brain.

Kenzi: Stop That! You are more than that. All of you are. You're not a freak. You're Donatello, brains of the group and a fine warrior of the shadows. Also, the love of my life. Remember that!

He felt his heart throb listening to her cheer him up. Before she came along he settled with just a few people knowing of him. Now, with her and her sisters, he felt whole.

Donatello: I Love You so much.

Kenzi: I Love You.

Just then Charlie bursts in teasing.

Charlie: I Love You too, Donnie! *laughter*

He chuckled at Charlie interrupting their brief chat and Kenzi's face as she started hissing at her.

Donatello: This is my queue to sign off?

Kenzi: Unfortunately, Yes. At least until next call.

Donatello: Don't hurt her too much. You still got work to do.

Kenzi: You're right. I'll save it for when we get back.

They said their good-byes and ended the call.

Kenzi rejoined the group.

"Have we gotten that out of our system now?" Alopex asked, resting her cheek against her palm.

"Yes. We ready?" Kenzi wondered.

"Proceed!" Alopex gave the order to which the girls understood fully.

One by one, they plummeted from the jet, gliding down into the jungles of Brazil just a few yards away from the compound. Since they all had the ability of flight and invisibility, it made being discreet easy. Upon landing, they immediately warped into their signature animal forms. They prowled through the brush, their instincts guiding them through the darkness as they made their way to their destination.

When the first guard was spotted, Charlie acted promptly catching the man off guard, mauling him. Using her speed she went ahead and tracked down the others. Kenzi sped her way to the front of the compound, remaining invisible while using her tail to disengage the security cameras. Entering without an issue along with Dinah.

Alopex was able to subdue the guards in the control room. Giving the girls time to raid the buidling. Charlie successfully cleared the area, giving herself a pat on the back for her skills.

It was a dim lit corridor that had eerie written all over it. Kenzi and Dinah spotted one of the doors, but it was heavily guarded. 'Bingo!' After the guards were subdued, The girls regrouped, utilizing their invisibility very well, especially Alopex who withdrew her shotgun, shucked it, causing the ones standing guard to think hard about what they just heard. Alopex smirked, pulled the trigger, encasing all the guards in elastic goo. "Kenzi, you are too awesome. Very impressive weapon you've made." Kenzi snickered as she subdued another guard,"You're the awesome one. Oh Noble Leader!" She teased.

"You're both awesome! Let's get this show on the road!" Charlie muttered, Kenzi smiles with mischief.

Using all her inhuman strength, Alopex sunk her palms into the doors, with a grunt, ripping the door clean off of its hinges. The many eyes that fell upon them of captive teens and toddlers chained to the walls. Afraid, malnourished. "It's alright. We're gonna get you all home. Girls, start working on their shackles and get them out here!" Alopex gave the order, while pushing a button on her wrist watch, calling for the vehicle to pick up the captives.

While Charlie was releasing a teen, a guard came to and charged towards her with a machete. Dinah used her kusari-gama to relieve the madman of his weapon, while Kenzi swung her foot into his temple, knocking him unconscious.

"Good kick. Our rides here. Everybody out. Let's go home. Go! Go! Go!" Charlie shouted, waking the kids up out of their daze, coaxing them to act fast.

A huge truck was parked behind the building waiting for the girls and the kids. They loaded the kids up, made sure everyone was accounted for and took off.

"Charlie. Did you set it up?" Kenzi asked, cradling a toddler.

"Yeah I did. I'm about to knock em' down!" She gave a Cheshire grin, pulling out a trigger button from her pocket. As they drove further away from the compound, Charlie pressed the button and watched in satisfaction as the entire compound burst into flames. "Art truly is an explosion!" She muttered.

"I Do Not want you watching anymore Naruto!" Alopex blurted.

"Not even Naruto Shippuden?" Charlie whined.

"No!" Kenzi and Dinah say in unison.

-------Time Skip----------

With the children returned to their families along with children who were from other countries, the Muses were making their way back home in their private jet.

"What an assignment. The Embassy is such a hassle!" Charlie whined.

"It comes with the job, sis. Besides, the kids are free now. Back home where they belong. Aint that right, ladies?" Alopex cheered.

"That's right!!!" The girls say in unison, provoking a howl from Alopex.

As the flight went on, strange flashes started to erupt in the skies again. "Alopex!!" Charlie eked out.

"I know. Kenzi, call Donnie. Now!" She ordered.

"Ya ain't gotta tell me twice." Kenzi says, dialing Donnie's cell.

"Is it getting bigger? Or closer?" Dinah squinted her eyes trying to get a good look at the stange flashes.

He answers.

"Baby, are you seeing it too?" He says, getting right to it.

"Yes. It's as if it's getting closer. Lemme get a closer look." Kenzi says, switching the call to video chat, opening the exit doors, flying out to get a closer look.

"Kenzi, no! Get back in here! We don't know what could happen!" Dinah yelled out to her sister, floating in the sky near the flashes.

"Guys, come here now! Ya gotta see this! Kenzi what are you thinking!" Donnie shrieked.

The turtles surrounded Donnie, getting a good look at the footage. "Looks like a portal. Why is Kenzi getting so close! Kenzi get back to the jet, NOW!" Leonardo ordered.

"Okay, I'm going. I wanted to........" Her words were cut off by electric vaults coursing through her body. Knocking her unconscious.

The call went out.

"What happened!?" Raph demanded.

"Hang on. I'm getting a video call from Dinah." Donnie quickly accepted the call. In that moment, the girls switched on the cameras disguised as necklaces around their necks.

The monitors filled with what appeared to be a battle going on in the skies. The jet had been destroyed in the process, pieces of debris falling to the ground in smoke. The figure the girls were battling were peculair creatures.

"What are those things, Donnie"

"They look like dinosaurs, they got Kenzi!"

Suddenly Dinah voice yelled out through the call,"Aren't you guys supposed to be extinct!? What the heck do ya want? Let her go!"

With all her strength Alopex took on the creatures who held her sister along with Charlie who immediately flew into action, throwing her needle blades at the enemy. The creatures seem to have strength matching Alopex as one punched her directly in her abdomen, snatching her in the process. Charlie's needle blades were able to pierce through their strange armor, yet they kept coming. "That's it! I've had it up to here!" She hollered, whipping out her explosive needle blades, ready to strike.

There were a dozen of these creatures, Charlie didn't care as she launched all her explosives in their direction. They went off upon piercing their armor. It was able to tear off some armor, causing it to fall to the ground. However, despite her efforts, she was immediately apprehended by the assailant. Mikey was crushed seeing his little spit fire being caught.

Dinah was trying to hold her own using her kusari-gama to draw the assailants away. They immediately caught her chain, yanking her into its chest, squeezing her. She screamed Leonardo's name, making his chest rumble being forced to watch her along with her sisters being taken away.

Alopex was able to come to,"Who the heck are you?"

The camera was rolling on Alopex necklace, giving the turtles a full view of the creatures.

"Guys, are those our ancient cousins or something!?" Mikey asked.

"Shhh, Mikey. Listen!"

"We are the Triceratons! Sent by the Kraang to collect you! He has plans for the 4 of you! Hahahaha!" He cackles, retreating into the portal.

"Not if I can help it!" Alopex declared, shoving the Triceraton away from her, using her tail to retrieve her sisters, faded into invisibility, fleeing the scene.

The turtles couldn't believe what they witnessed. "Duck down to lower grounds! Then head back to the base in New Jersey!" Leonardo yelled into the microphone. He could hear Alopex's heavy breathing as she struggled to fly. "Babe. Hurry up and get away! Use your speed!" Raph barked, worry stricken. "Kenzi's out cold! Dinah use your speed to get us outta here!" Alopex ordered. Dinah shook herself out of her cramps, grabbed them all by her tail and sped their way back home.

-------------Meanwhile-----------

The one in charge of the Triceratons, was on his communication device with the Kraang.

"Sir. These creatures are much harder to capture. They got away!"

The Kraang slammed down on his desk, infuriated with the missions failure.

"You fools have failed on your first try!!?? Imbeciles!" He hollars into the communicator. "You will not return to this dimension until you've captured those wretches. Allow me to make it fun." He slithers his tentacles to the keyboards, doing a search until he found exactly what he was looking for.

"These filthy turtles have ruined my plans and nearly destroyed my precious TechnoDrone." He slaps the screen.

"Those hybrids happen to be associated with these turtles. Where ever they are, the turtles will be close by. Bring them all to me and I will overlook your pathetic attempts at capturing them."

The triceratons studied the turtles, etching in their minds what they look like and where they are located. They smile.

"Triceratons! Begin the hunt!" The commander orders, using their flying platforms to track the turtles and the Muses down.

Kraang ended the call. "Bring them ALL!"

Rottmnt x reader

(just note: you have a physical disease that affects your healing so wounds will occasionally reopen, and wounds take three times longer to heal even if they are just small cuts (this is not an actual disease but the concept does exist I’m just making it worse than it actually is)why because I can.(also I’m just going to call it the abentsar disease because I made it up)

(Blood warning, and mentions of self-harm)

(Background info: you’ve been dating all the turtles for about two months (just note they are only dating you they are not dating each other ) but what they didn’t know is you had the adentsar disease , also they didn’t know you used to cut yourself)

There nicknames for you are, from Donnie(honeybee), from raph (sugarplum), from Leo (Mi amor), from Mikey (puppy)

You are hanging out with the guys when all of a sudden you look at your phone and see that it is pretty late, you decided it is time to go home, you stand up from where you were sitting in the living room and announce your departure to the guys, you could hear a slight groan coming from them to the fact that you must leave, but still, they all came up to you and said their goodbyes, Each in their own little special way.

Donnie came up behind and hugged you, kissing you on the four head, and said, “Honeybee please be careful on your way home”, you gave a slight giggle to his concern and promised him that you would be fine.

Mikey came up and ran straight into you giving you a big hug and kissing you on the cheek, he then said, “Goodbye puppy can’t wait to see you tomorrow again”, you kissed him on the cheek back and then say, “I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow”.

Leo comes up to you takes your hand and gives it a kiss he then says in a flirtatious voice “Oh mi amor as upset as I am to see you go, I will patiently wait for you to return”, you blushed a little but also roll your eyes, you then say I love you too Leo.

Raph then comes up and pushes your hair back and gives you a big kiss on the four head, he doesn’t say anything, but he looks at you with a warm expression, you look at him in the eyes and say, “I’ll see you tomorrow”, you then turn around and start walking to the exit waving at them all as you walk away.

When you get home/at your apartment, you notice that you have large bloodstains on your arms, after taking off your hoodie and sitting on your bed you look at your arms fully knowing what to expect but when you see how bad it is you’re a little shocked, multiple of your old cuts scars have reopened and some of them appear to have ripped even further, you were bleeding a lot.

A few minutes earlier Donnie noticed that you left something behind something that was very important to you, when he informs his brothers, Leo suggests that they go take it back mainly using this as an excuse to see you again, they all agree and after putting on their equipment they start to head toward your apartment/home.

They were jumping from rooftop to rooftop approaching your apartment, once they reached your apartment/home they quietly knocked on your balcony door, when you didn’t respond Mikey opened the door, you never really lock your balcony door, and they knew this, they walk from your balcony through your living room toward your bedroom, Leo is the first to open the door and shouts out “Mi AMOR we are here to bring something of yours……..!”

Before he can finish with that sentence, he cuts off and notices the blood dripping from your arms, in pure horror he says “m.mi amor what the shell happened”, the others confusingly peek into your room and also sees the blood on your arms.

It took you a few seconds to notice that they were there, you were starting to get a little bit dazed from the amount of blood you were losing, this was the first time this many cuts had opened again, and this was the first time you’ve had to deal with this much blood loss even while you were committing self-harm you never bled this much.

They all immediately run towards you with Leo and Donnie trying to stop the bleeding and Raph and Mikey frantically trying to ask you what happened.

Donnie analyses you while Leo goes to find your first aid kit, when he sees the cuts through his goggles he notices that they look very similar to self-harm cuts, he is very shocked to see this and immediately asks raph to pick you up and take you to the living room he does this so he can try and find the blade you use to harm yourself.

Raph does what his younger brother says and takes you to the living room where Leo is waiting with the first aid kit.

While Donnie searches your room the others put you on the couch and tend to your wounds, at this point you were totally out of it you could barely focus on anything, but you weren’t on the verge of collapse just a bit tired.

A few minutes later your arms are completely bandaged and you are laying backward on the couch, Donnie then leaves your room with a relieved look on his face but a confused look as well, his brothers ask him what he is doing and why he looks so confused, Donnie explains to them that the injuries on your arms look nearly identical to self-harm injuries, and that he was searching your room for anything that you might have used to make them, but there was nothing.

The brothers were relieved to hear that they might not be that, but this brought them concern for what happened to your arms.

As they were talking you gained enough strength to say a single Word you said “abentsar”, the brothers were startled by the sudden speech but immediately ran to your side and requested to hear what you said again, you repeated yourself and then quickly fell asleep, while the others check up on you and help you get comfortable Donnie researches the word you said and is surprised by the result.

After the boys laid you down on your couch because your bed was covered in blood, Donnie explains the information that he found and gives a hypothesis that you might have this disease and it just means that your wounds all just never properly healed, so that would mean that you never were harming yourself which was a great relief to them but they were still concerned at the fact that you never told them about this.

About 42 minutes passed and the boys were all busy, raph was sitting beside you waiting for you to wake up, Mikey was in the kitchen getting something for you to eat and Leo and Donnie were doing more research on your abentsar disease,

Suddenly you start to wake up and Raph notices this, he immediately says “Sugarplum thank goodness you’re awake”, the others hear him and immediately rush to your side beside Mikey who is still in the kitchen.

Donnie and Leo immediately start bombarding you with questions trying to see if there is nothing out of the ordinary, you answer them and inform them that the only thing different is that you feel a bit nauseous.

The three boys are relieved to hear this, just then Mikey walks in and gives you food he made for you, he sits down next to you and doesn’t say a word, he was fully aware that it was important to eat after blood loss because Leo told him, so he wanted you to focus on eating.

After you finished eating Leo immediately asked you why you never told them, you responded by saying “Because it wasn’t a problem you 4 needed to deal with, plus I didn’t think it was important since it has never been this bad, I’ve had this for almost a year, I’m pretty sure you guys have done enough research about it so you know the effects, but I am sorry that I didn’t tell you”.

Raph immediately responds by telling you “Reader anything that has to do with your well-being concerns us, we want to make sure you are happy, healthy, and safe”, Mikey then says, “Yeah puppy we just want to make sure you’re okay so please tell us about this type of stuff”.

You smile at them, but then Donnie chimes in and asks “Reader seeing that you are feeling better I would like to ask where you got these cuts in the first place”.

They look at you and you take a deep breath, you then inform them that you actually used to cut yourself, and you were going through a lot at the time, they look at you upset and concerned but you then continue by telling them that about a week after you started dating them the cuttings slowly stopped because as soon as they entered your life things started getting better.

After hearing this they were very happy to hear that they had such a positive impact on your life, Mikey and Raph immediately hugged you being careful not to squeeze your arms. Donnie and Leo gently grab your hands, you smile.

You Think to yourself that you were a very lucky person to have met them and even luckier to have them by your side, you then use the little bit of strength you have to squeeze Donnie and Leo’s hands.

You then remove your hands from there’s and put your hands on Mikey and raphs cheeks, you quietly whisper “I love you guys”, and then you slowly start to doze off again.
