before Nintendo decided to make Shy guys part of Bowser's army in every game ever, i always had a headcanon that after the end of yoshi's island, the shy guys stumbled on some kinda portal which landed them in the subcon world from smb2.

Hi Indie!
I love your drawings, seriously, I love them!
I don’t know if this has been asked before but i would like to know how your turtles became mutants or are you still thinking about it?
Take your time
(I used the translator)
I’m not like super 100% on it quite yet, but I’ve concocted an idea I’m pretty happy with.
I had a few different ideas but I’ve kinda settled on the idea of a mix of both the 2012 and the Rise back story. The turtles discover their backstory while on their investigation of the Kraang. They steal Splinter’s old journal and find out many things.
Here’s some very rough story boards that I cut into a readable comic for you guys. (Okay but like seriously guys it ROUGH, good luck 👍)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(If you were able to read that disaster, then uh…⭐️gold star)
So after that, (the part I have not story boarded yet) Agent 10 tests the mutagen on Yoshi and the Turtles turning them into what they are. Yoshi(now Splinter) kinda looses his mind and breaks him and the turtles out of the Kraang lair. Doodle for you guys :]
Tumblr media
He eventually comes to back in his apartment though after a short while the Kraang find him and so he packs up his stuff and the turtles and heads underground to find a safe lair.
As I said, still a bit of a work in progress, but hopefully this answers the majority of your questions!
Good question! :]

okay SO, childhood friends idea inspired by a suggestion from @hyperfixatingonbowuigisohard and the Yoshi's Island games. I still don't have a story exactly but I do have a lot of Thoughts.
Mario and Luigi are around three or four years old, old enough to talk but not to really articulate what's happening or how they're feeling. It's during a time when the parents think grandma is watching them and grandma thinks the parents decided to take them after all, and when they get home everything seems fine so the adults don't bother to compare notes. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Bowser is a couple years older, and small kids develop so fast that most wouldn't want to play with one much younger ("that's a baby!!!") but he's so desperate for a friend even close to his own age that he jumps at the change to spend time with this strange child that stumbled into his castle.
But... little Bowser has been so spoiled by Kamek and the other servants raising him that he has no idea how to play nicely. Luigi is terrified of him at first and starts bawling the moment Bowser "orders" him to play. For the first time in his short life, Bowser has a problem that can't be solved by yelling, crying, OR throwing things. He has to control his temper and learn to - what's it called again? - share.
Despite that the week that little Luigi spends with him is the happiest Bowser has ever been, and even that short amount of time has such an impact on his personality that he almost seems like a different person by the end. He accidentally bumps into Kamek and says "sorry" without being prompted and Kamek is so shocked he has to have a lie-down.
But at the end of that week, little Mario suddenly shows up with a pack of yoshis who seem to know where the boys belong, and Kamek knows it's not right to just keep a lost child. He also knows that there's no way Bowser is going to agree to let his first-ever friend go away and maybe never see him again, so Kamek smuggles Luigi out while Bowser is asleep and tells him his family came to get him. It's technically true.
Bowser is devastated. He screams, cries, throws things, and finally begs, but there's nothing anyone can do, Luigi is already gone. He's miserable for months, but eventually the sadness turns into anger. If his friend wanted to come back, why doesn't he?
Time passes. The memories fade. He's left with equal parts fascination by and resentment of humans, and the subconscious belief that if you give the people you love any chance to leave you, they will.
Meanwhile Mario and Luigi have gone home, and both of them are suddenly talking a lot about dinosaurs. That's not unusual, kids love dinosaurs, the parents figure they saw a cool book or movie with one of their cousins. But while Mario seems to think of dinosaurs as big animals that you run around with, Luigi keeps asking when he can go see "the dinosaur" again. He gets upset when his parents don't know what he means, but he keeps asking, again and again, for months. Every time they think he forgot he asks again, and no movie or museum visit or plush toy seems to be the answer.
He draws a lot of spiky green balls in this time. Eventually the parents decide that "the dinosaur" must be his imaginary friend and try to play along. It doesn't work, Luigi is still upset, but he's young and eventually he really does forget.
Years later family members will still sometimes bring up "Luigi's imaginary friend the dinosaur" as a cute anecdote. It's a little embarrassing, but he doesn't mind it too much.
And then it's twenty-plus years later and Mario and Luigi find themselves in a world that's full of adventure and magic and - yes - dinosaurs. There's a feeling of déjà vu but there are bigger things to worry about at the moment, and neither of them have any real reason to think they've been to this world before.
The first meeting doesn't go well. Bowser kidnaps Peach, the bros come to her rescue, and it ends in a big fight. Bowser does have a moment's pause when he first sees the bros, but Mario takes that opportunity to attack him and it's downhill from there.
There are several more clashes as time goes on. Sometimes it's just Mario, sometimes it's both of them, but after enough meetings people start to notice... Bowser controls his temper better around Luigi.
At first Mario thought it was just because Bowser hates him specifically, but no, other people have noticed it too. For some reason when Luigi is there Bowser is actually capable of showing restraint. Not even Peach brings that out of him. It's weird.
(Mario does wonder if Bowser kind of has a thing for his brother, but he can't bring himself to say it out loud.)
Luigi isn't scared of Bowser either, not the way he probably should be, given the whole giant monster/serial kidnapper thing. It's too awkward to ask Bowser why he's different around Luigi, but Mario asks Luigi why he's not afraid, and Luigi can't put his finger on it. He just Knows that Bowser is more bark than bite. He's not sure why.
So that's where things stand; Bowser and Luigi are both more comfortable with each other than anything about their personalities or situation seems to justify, and nobody knows why.
...Except Kamek who, as the only adult in the situation, figures out who the bros are almost immediately and promptly decides to Keep His Damn Mouth Shut. That reveal is not going to lead to good things for him.

☕️⋆.ೃ࿔˚ 🥐⋆Cafe Date♡⋆.・🧋
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
YOSHI⋆˙⟡:
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the small campus café as you settled into your favorite corner table, a steaming cup in hand. The chatter of students created a lively atmosphere, but you were lost in your own thoughts, flipping through your notes for the upcoming exam.
Suddenly, the door swung open, and a gust of chilly autumn air swept through, making you shiver slightly. You glanced up just in time to see a tall figure step inside, shaking off raindrops from his umbrella. It was Soobin, a fellow student from your classes, but you had never really spoken beyond a polite nod in passing. Today, though, something felt different.
He glanced around the café, his eyes landing on you. A warm smile broke across his face, and you felt your heart race unexpectedly. He approached your table, his hands tucked into the pockets of his hoodie.
“Hey, Y/N! Mind if I join you?” he asked, his voice soft and inviting.
“Of course!” you replied, trying to sound casual as you motioned to the empty seat across from you.
As he sat down, the scent of his cologne wafted over, mixing with the coffee and creating a strangely comforting atmosphere. You both exchanged small talk about your classes and the impending exam, but as the conversation flowed, you found yourself more drawn to him than the material you were supposed to be studying.
“So, how’s your study session going?” he asked, leaning in slightly, his gaze focused on you.
“Honestly? I’m a little overwhelmed,” you admitted with a nervous chuckle. “I thought I’d be ready by now, but…”
“Same here,” he said, nodding understandingly. “But I think we’ll be okay. We can help each other out if you want?”
Your heart skipped a beat at the suggestion. You had imagined studying together, but this felt like an invitation to something more. “I’d like that,” you replied, your smile widening.
The conversation shifted effortlessly, moving from academics to personal stories. You found out that Soobin loved playing the guitar, a passion he had pursued since high school, and he enjoyed exploring the city’s hidden gems. As you listened, you couldn’t help but admire the way he spoke with enthusiasm, his eyes lighting up at every word.
“Maybe you could show me some of your favorite spots sometime?” you suggested, emboldened by the warmth that filled the space between you.
He raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. “Are you asking me on a date, Y/N?”
Your cheeks flushed, and you felt a rush of heat spread across your face. “Uh, well—”
He laughed, the sound rich and genuine. “I’m just teasing. I’d love to show you around. It’s a date.”
As you both shared another laugh, the atmosphere shifted again, the playful banter giving way to a more intimate connection. You found yourself getting lost in his gaze, the world around you fading as the laughter turned softer, more sincere.
“Do you ever think about what it would be like if we weren’t just classmates?” Soobin asked, his voice suddenly serious.
You felt your heart race. “Sometimes. It’s nice to imagine… more.”
He leaned in closer, the distance between you shrinking. “Yeah, it is. I’ve thought about it a lot, actually. You’re really easy to talk to, Y/N.”
Before you could respond, he reached across the table, gently brushing his fingers against yours. The contact sent a jolt of electricity through you, and you felt a flutter in your stomach.
“Soobin, I—”
But he cut you off, his eyes searching yours. “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” you replied, your voice barely above a whisper.
He hesitated for a moment, as if weighing his words. “What if we made this more than just study partners? I mean, I’d really like to get to know you better… outside of class.”
Your heart soared at his words, and you nodded slowly. “I’d like that too. A lot.”
With that, he broke into a wide grin, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Great! How about we start with that coffee date this weekend? Just you and me?”
“Sounds perfect,” you replied, unable to hide your smile.
As you both shared another laugh, the café seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of you in your little bubble of newfound connection. The semester might be busy, but for the first time, you felt like you were exactly where you were meant to be—sitting across from someone who could become so much more than a stranger.
And with that thought, you knew this was just the beginning of your story together.

OKAY— so like, we had scenarios of which the B-Team were raised by the Shredder, but what if it was the A-Team??
Shredder telling both Leonardo and Raphael (who now goes by Takeō and Akihitō respectively) lies about their younger littermates (Donatello and Michelangelo, whom he named as Junkō and Kōta)— telling them that their younger siblings have been ruthlessly killed by Hamato Yoshi, who had deemed them as an abomination.
In fact, Shredder wasn't even aware of the existence of the younger two; at least, not until both Takeō and Akihitō brought it up a few months after they were officially able to carry out missions and daily patrol. However, he couldn't deny that it's truly a blessing— there's a chance that they might know of Hamato Yoshi's location, and even then, Shredder can expand his army of powerful mutants.
Donatello and Michelangelo, on the other hand, aren't so thrilled about having to 2v2 their older brothers at just about everytime. There's also that the two have the tendency to play dirty. Stalking their friends and whatnot, it's driving them up the wall.
I don't know if Karai should be with the Shredder, because her rivalry with the A-Team over the younger onces is delicious.
What do you think?
I love this. No, no, wait, see my vision, look-
Takeō and Akihitō are everything that Shredder needs them to be. They took up training from the moment that their little legs could walk and they excelled past anything that he’d ever seen before, and one of Shredder’s greatest fighters happens to be blind, mind you, so he knows what greatness looks like.
He knows it has to relate to the fact that they’re mutants, but he couldn’t care less. With one student who bears a determination to please and the other with the violent fury to be molded like his own, they’re better than an entire legion of Foot soldiers. Takeō makes sure every command is followed and Akihitō leaves no enemy unpunched- what could be better?
They’re perfect. No, they’re better than perfect. They’re a miracle.
One that he never hesitates to take advantage of. If Yoshi had done one thing right in his lifetime, it was leading him to them.
And then- AND THEN-
Enter Mikey and Donnie.
The universe throws out two turtles with on obvious ignorance of surface life and an instinct to defend those that dwell on it. Leo and Raph’s world is thrown out of whack the first time that they spot them- considering Mikey is a younger-shaped replica of them with freckles. They keep an curious eye on them from a distance, but uncertain what to make of them, don’t interact.
They inquire about it to their father and (considering Saki likely stole them from Yoshi) he fabricates a story that horrifies them. They already know about Yoshi and how he killed Karai’s mother- but he tore apart their family too?
Afterward, it takes about five seconds to connect the dots on who these mutant turtles are. They go out to track down and reconnect with their brothers. *insert canon plot stuff*
When Donnie and Mikey try to save a kidnapped April, they fail pretty badly. The Saki brothers step in, stop the Kraang from taking the girl before Donnie and Mikey’s brains get blown out, but don’t really do much about them taking the dad. They don’t really care about the humans. They’re far more interested in prodding the turtles.
And, after taking April to her aunt’s, prodding absolutely happens from both sides.
The childish giddy air of the Junkō and Kōta upon finding their siblings obviously cements them as the younger siblings in the Saki brother’s minds. They don’t doubt for a moment that they are who they say they are because Splinter told them that they had two missing brothers as little kids.
Mind made up, Leo insists that they come home. Mikey insists that they have a home and Donnie admits they shouldn’t really wander off with strangers. They both vocalize that their rat dad needs to meet them first since he’s the one who lost them and he’s misses them and they don’t have to abandon their dad or anything, they just really want them to meet Splinter! (The Foot symbols on their gear mean nothing to the Hamatos and the name Splinter means nothing to the Sakis. Oopsy.)
And so they wait around for Mikey and Donnie to collect Splinter and then Splinter comes across his sons and Leo and Raph are tolerant until he introduces himself as Hamato Yoshi and then it all clicks that the man who Shredder thought killed their brothers and he had stolen them away instead and he’s the reason that they haven’t see them for fifteen years-
They don’t even give Yoshi time to explain before they’re attempting to eliminate the threat. Donnie and Mikey are insanely confused until one of the brothers lets it slip that their dad is Saki and- oh wait are they evil?!- so now there’s fighting, attempted forced reasoning and kidnapping of little brothers, but the Hamatos manage to get away.
So now Leo and Raph’s are simply DISTRAUGHT because the madman had stolen and brainwashed their little brothers so how were supposed to focus on anything else when they’re out there but actively on the wrong side of this war??
It trashes their game and suddenly his miracle team is no longer a shinning example of perfection. Once again, Yoshi has ruined something great and, instead of seething, Saki gets creative.
He fakes an understanding with what his sons are going through and expresses a wish that he knew where Yoshi was so that he could put an end to the threat. If only, they could find the lair where he was keeping their brothers prisoner, maybe then they rid the world of the rat and bring them home. Once they’re free from Yoshi’s dark influence, they could all be one happy family.
And Leo, like the helpful little leader he is, realizes that they could find the lair. Him and Raph could totally find a way to convince the brothers to take them home, or even find a way to get in without their knowledge. They were ninjas, masters of deception and lies. They could do it, Master, if only he would give them a chance?
So he does because an end to Yoshi and two new powerful warriors is more than he could hope for. Exactly what he deserves.
And the rest of the series is just Raph and Leo doing everything in their power to inch their way into their brother’s trust. They stalk them in a desperate itch to make sure they’re okay, which leads to them intercepting and assisting on a bunch of Kraang mission.
They run into each other when Donnie and Mikey try to stop the Foot from being evil, and Leo and Raph are more concerned with making sure nothing happens to their brothers that the Hamato brothers end up completing their mission more often than not.
Leo and Raph are still dedicated to the Foot but their priorities are skewed every time their brother come into play. Nine times out of ten, baby brothers take first priority. And Saki lets these mishaps happen because his sons are insistent upon gaining the Hamatos trust.
It doesn’t take Donnie and Mikey long to realize what Leo and Raph are doing, protecting-them wise. They don’t quite understand it, but they assume that even though they have been misguided and brainwashed by Shredder, they still are good people deep down. It’s incredibly annoying that they are always in the way and can’t seem to realize how what they’re doing is obviously evil, though.
Like plotting younger siblings do, they adapt to use the brother’s new apparent weakness against them, putting themselves in situations where the Saki brothers have no choice but to interviene- even if that means slicing their own bots or preventing their own missions from succeeding. And the best part is that the Saki brothers have no idea that they’re being played- they really just believe that their baby brothers are kinda bad at their jobs.
Which really doesn’t help with the whole PROTECT alarms constantly ringing in their brains.
As for Karai, I think she would still be with the Foot, but instead of a doting older sister, there would be jealousy vibes. She’d been overshadowed her entire life by these ‘perfect’ brothers and she jumps at the opportunity to impress her father when they start slipping. She could even play an antagonist role- actively trying to dissuade her father’s approval of Leo&Raph’s activities in order to get a better standing. She doesn’t want them murdered at the stake or anything, simply taken out of the favoritism role so that his actual human daughter (or so she thinks) can have a scrap of his attention.
I WAS GOING TO STOP HERE BUT YOU HAVE ME THINKING ABOUT PLOT AND SUCH NOW-
Like, Donnie would now be the eldest with the responsibilities of genius and leader, which means that he probably feels like his baby brother’s one line of defense against an entire universe. Splinter didn’t train his boys for war- but Saki did. Imagine the pressure on his shoulders to keep his family safe while actively on deadly missions with brothers who could turn on them at any second, stuck under the weight of wanting to get April reunited with her missing family.
Leo’s side of the spectrum is spent worrying that two of his brothers are under the abusive care of their kidnapper. He desperately hones the “but I can totally bring them to our side and make them see things our way!” attitude that he has for Karai during the canon series. He does everything in his power to keep the blame from falling on them when missions go wrong, fabricating stories for their father, like he’s always done to keep Raph out of trouble. He doesn’t care for the Hamato’s missions, but he cares greatly for their safety, so he makes sure they tag along at every opportunity, whether they are wanted or not. Stalking is never out of the question, even if it doesn’t take long for the Hamatos to adapt to their presence.
I CAN’T SHUT UP ABOUT THIS SUDDENLY:
So there’s this song “Our Word” from 36 questions that absolutely has the vibes from this au that has taken root in my brain and when I think of Leo being a sneaky little guy and keeping Raph out of trouble- IT FITS. Well, these specific verses anyway:
When I was a little [boy] Like really little, like eight or so I was playing in my father's study A place in the house I wasn't supposed to go
My father fancied himself a sailor His study was filled with nautical decor He kept a boat in a bottle on the top of a shelf And it shattered on the ground when I slammed the door
I told my [brother] everything I told [him] I was so, so sorry [He] told me, "Don't cry, When he comes home tonight We can make everything okay This is all we have to say"
"We don't remember a boat in a bottle It must've fallen off its shelf alone We know you loved it, we're so sad it's broken But neither one of us was even home"
And it's our word Yes, our word Against his
HOLY MOTHER OF MUTATIONS I AM DEVOURING THIS AU AND NOW I HAVE RETURNED WITH CONCEPT:
“You shouldn’t be out alone.”
Donnie lands as irritation crawls up his spine and becomes fuzzy little ambers in his brain. He has a few irrational thoughts, such as giving the nuisance a taste of throwing stars, but they’re dismissed as he pretends to check his t-phone. He can sense one entity behind him, but his partner doesn’t seem to be hovering nearby.
He turns, t-phone at his side, the cheese phone on speed-dial. He doubts the Foot ninja wants to kill him, but if this is another kidnapping attempt…
Well. Better safe than sorry.
“Apperently, I’m not. Need something?”
“You almost got caught tonight.” Takeō cocks his head, face passive. “You shouldn’t be breaking into military junkyards. There have to be safer options. There’s a place in Chinatown. Less guns.”
“Well, as soon as civilians throw out this kind of equipment,” Donnie pats the bag on his hip. “I’ll consider it.”
He frowns. “You’re taking risks.”
“Weren’t your men trying to slit my throat last week?”
“That was not my doing.”
“Oh, sure, Shredder doesn’t want to lure Splinter out of hiding and you would never kidnap me or Mikey, right?”
“I didn’t know about Bradford’s scheme until it was to late.” Takeō scans his face and Donnie denies the sincerity any thought. “You have to believe us- why else would we help you escape?”
“To earn our trust? For future blackmail? As some part of some evil Foot plot to hurt Sensei?” Donnie sneers. “I don’t care what your excuse is when you made my brother bleed.”
“I told Bradford to back off, but I can only do so much.” The tone is defensive, but his frown softens guiltily. “I can’t stop the bots from doing their programing. Maybe if my clan did not see you as a threat- if you would rethink your position-”
His grip tightens over the t-phone. “This is not a conversation that I am entertaining. Goodbye, Takeō.”
“Wait-”
He does not.
And then Takeō is across the rooftop and roughly taking hold of his arm before he can take more than two steps. The t-phone clatters, adrenaline surging as he stops dead in his tracks. His attention shoots from the weapon on the warrior’s hip and then to the blue gaze that is drilling holes into his skull.
He swallows, proud that his voice doesn’t shake. “Let go.”
Takeō tightens his hold. He steps forward, their gazes locked, face unreadable. Donnie thinks it might be an intimation tactic, but he’s not scared, per say. His gut squirms in discomfort and he feels weirdly small despite being inches taller. He expects a low warning, or some kind of dark threat to cut the air between them.
Instead, he gets a soft promise laced so heavily in passion that it might as well have been shouted across the rooftops.
“I would never hurt my brothers.”
Donnie is silent for several seconds.
“You’re hurting me right now.”
Takeō tears his hand away as though he just found out that Donnie was radioactive. Donnie rubs the area, mostly for show, in the hopes of dissuading him from trying that again.
“…I-I meant…” Donnie looks up. No hesitation crosses his face, but his words come with uncertainty. “Not like that. Never like that.”
Donnie humphs.
“Is- Is Kōta-”
“Mikey.”
Takeō stares and Donnie glares back.
The warrior relents. “How is he?”
“It was a flesh wound.” Donnie picks up the t-phone, unsure why he’s telling him anything. “He’s already back to being a hassle.”
A beat of quiet. “I suppose that means we’ll be reunited soon.”
“To kick your shells in? Yeah. Probably.” Donnie puts away his device, looking somewhere over Takeō’s shoulder to the bulky shadow who has been inching closer through the extent of their conversation.
“You know, family means more to me than biology. Shocking to hear from a scientist, I know.” He pauses for effect, considering. “A family with differences is still a family. You might be serious about this whole hurting thing when it comes to Mikey and me…” He narrows his eyes and trains the hostility on the piercing gaze. “But if I find out that you even thought about touching my father again, you can forget any chance of brotherhood. I might seem like a weak joke to you, but I promise that I can make your life a living hell.”
Donnie stares him down, grip tight over the strap of the bag filled with weaponry that he’ll use to make Metalhead truly surface worthy so nothing can harm Mikey again, and dares Takeō to challenge him.
“There’s no stronger warrior than one whose greatest virtue is their loyalty.” Takeō decides simply. “And there is nothing more that I’d expect from a brother.”
Donnie is pretty sure that’s a compliment. He’s not sure what that he to do with backing off his father, but he accepts it.
He releases the bag. “Glad we understand each other.”
He turns his back to the ninja, looking over his shoulder. “And don’t have Akihitō follow me home.”
Takeō stiffens, eyes widening. He smirks. “See you later, bro.”
With a burst of speed, he takes off.
To their credit, they don’t follow.
Donnie knows better to assume that this’ll be the last time he has eyes on his shell. But, for the first time, he thinks he won’t mind.

How dark could you see canon Super Mario Bros getting (either in the movies or the game's plots? The series has had moments where it's not all sunshine and rainbows (but considering the nature of Super Mario, it is sunshine and rainbows much of the time) The most obvious example I can think of is the recent movie where they dialed up the intensity of Bowser where he has a pretty strong bloodlust, a death row chamber, and a Luma who craves death.
Like I really don't see them going down the route of killing off a major character (without reviving them shortly after) but that does create a risk of cheapening death. One way they could do this is by making death reversible, but it still leaves deep seated psychological scars (think Steven Universe or Puss in Boots 2)
I also wonder if they could do a bittersweet ending sort of thing as well. I've seen some animated movies with a young audience in mind do this, but obviously they're not going go down the road of something like Grave of the Fireflies or The Little Matchgirl.
Ok ok so
Hers some random thoughts that the hardcore gamer in me thinks about.
We’re on the verge of a new console for the Switch. And that means a new 3D Mario game should be revealed soon after the new console is announced or released (stay with me, ok?)
In the personal opinion of a couple of people, Super Mario Odyssey was good! But it wasn’t AS GOOD as Super Mario Galaxy, which was a game that wasn’t really that dark, but had some moments that were out of place for an Mario game that had come before and after (not including spin offs, which seems to have the best plot of any Mario game than the mainline games).
If the next 3D Mario game is to be just as good, if not, BETTER than Galaxy, it needs to have an AMAZING story (gameplay is not my concern tbh).
As someone who enjoys a little bit of angst here and there, I had thought of two different ideas that could work for the potential Mario game.
Mario goes to a parallel universe where he lost an important battle and Bowser has taken over. Anyone who sees Mario would DEFINITELY not believe that it’s actually him and probably be enemies. And main characters like Luigi or Peach could be bosses. I imagine Luigi being the first boss completely in denial that Mario is right in front of him (imagine how cruel the realization would be SHJOSJKHSJASNOJ) and Peach could probably be the second to last OR final boss for the same reason. Idk it’s a neat idea in my head.
Another idea could be Mario accidentally being sent to the past. And I mean the FAR past before Bowser’s rein. Heck, before his birth! I see the way Bowser’s castle is themed after in Odyssey and I like to think that’s what Koopa culture looks like. I also just like the idea of Bowser being super formal when not in battle. Like the bowing, the utensil etiquette, etc. Bowser’s father, or grandfather if Nintendo decides to change it, could be the main antagonist and next to the throne could be a small nest of eggs. Mario’s goal is to use Kamek’s wand (or something magic) to get back home without changing the course of history or something. Yada yada yada, Mario learns more about Koopa culture, yada yada yada, he’s get destroyed except one, yada yada yada Mario gets back home,but Kamek catches a glimpse of him, setting up the plot of Yoshi’s Island (idk is that a good idea?) And Mario, after getting back home, just suddenly hugs Bowser and everyone is super confused. Idk I like the super sappy ending.
Idk it wouldn’t be TOO terrible in angst, but the slight change in tone for a Mario game makes the difference to me. Those are some ideas I had come up with (might draw them idk anyone’s allowed to draw this if they liked it so much) They might be terrible and overused plot points but it would be cool to see that in the next Mario game…
….
Did this…answer the question? I feel like I got off track 😅

Brawl Tier List (Based On The Relevance of What They Were Doing When We Meet Them In Subspace Emissary)
Tumblr media
I'll explain some of my choices under the cut
So a lot of these choices are pretty obvious, although some are a bit iffy or require explanation of the Subspace story which can be found in trophy descriptions & The Dojo.
The first category was for characters who were engaged in the Subspace plot from the get-go and were the "good guys". In case you didn't know, King Dedede is the hero of Subspace, and if it weren't for him, Tabuu would have won, since he made the "reset badges", and his initial plan was to hold onto some people and give them the reset badges in case Tabuu used his Off Waves. Meta Knight is considered to be a good guy, even though he mostly just wanted to get the Halberd back. Fox I put into this category as well since he's first seen giving chase to the Halberd in his Arwing, so I consider that pretty engaged, even if we don't know the exact reasoning.
The second category is open and shut. They're the Bad Guys. Ganon, Bowser, and everyone's favorite winner, Wario. Technically Wario kinda defected from Tabuu and wanted to just steal all the trophies, but I'm counting him here.
Next was the "Used by Tabuu" tier. According to the lore, the entire Subspace Army is made from the power of Game and Watch (although it says the Game & Watch are unaware of this). Pikachu's electricity was being used to power a lot of the operations (most notably the Subspace Bomb Factory iirc). And it's implied that R.O.B was coerced into helping Tabuu, feeling so ashamed that he put on the Ancient Minister garb to hide himself out of shame.
The "Was Doing What You Expect" Tier is a tricky one, since some characters like Mario & Kirby weren't doing what you'd expect in their normal games, but they were fighting, which is something you'd expect in Smash, but I was kinda lenient. Pit was watching from Skyworld, which is in character. It's shown that Pokemon Trainer was looking for Ivysaur and Charizard, so we can assume he was on that journey when we found him in the Ruined Zoo. ZSS's motivations are kind of unclear about whether she knew about the Subspace Bombs and tried to stop them or if she just knew her Power Suit was there and wanted to get to it. I always figured it was the latter, so I'm putting it in this tier. Marth was defending a castle, which sounds right (I haven't played Fire Emblem). Ice Climbers were climbing ice. Monkeys were getting their bananas. Link was getting Master Sword. Yoshi was sleeping (which only gets him out of "Just Standing There" tier because he is Yoshi).
Next are the ones who just kinda showed up. And it so happens that all five of them make a pretty grand entrance. Sonic is the obvious example here. Ness also counts since there's no implication that either he or Lucas actually live in or even near the Ruined Zoo, but then again in the dialogue-less cutscenes tying together over 30 characters, I don't think that detail was important. Falco makes a grand entrance, although you could argue that he was meant to be Fox's backup. Ike makes a grand entrance with this Great Aether. Captain Falcon literally shows up to jump out of his car, punch a robot and kill approximately 50 aliens in one fell swoop, so either there was an F-Zero track around the Island of the Ancients that we don't see and he quit in the middle of his race to do that, or he just did that. Either way there's something wrong with him.
And then finally we have the characters who were Just Standing There. Luigi obviously was minding his own business when he got got by Dedede. Peach and Zelda I almost put in the "Doing What You Expect Tier" (or at LEAST Peach since she knew Mario at least), but honestly? They were just standing there. No hate, obviously. Sometimes you just gotta Stand There. Olimar was minding his own business letting his Pikmin eat a robot before they were murdered. Lucario was vibing on top of a mountain (as you do). Lucas was just being sad. And Snake? We don't see any sign that he's on a mission. We just see that he's been on the Halberd for an undisclosed period of time before dramatically revealing himself way way later. I like to imagine he accidentally fell asleep.
And then the last tier are for the 3 characters that are unlocked after Subspace, so I don't really count them.
Anyway in case you can't tell I am back on my ADHD meds! Hope you enjoyed this. See you all for the Nuzlocke stream later.

Musing: Emotional connection
Recently a very close person to me suggested i binge watch "Angel Hare", before that day my only exposure to that project was a fan game that had a very funny punchline in lampooning the "cursed videogame" genre.
So i watched the whole thing and it was great.
Tumblr media
This scene right here made me feel more feelings than most of the media i have watched/played/read in like the last 5 years or so.
So it made my mind wonder, like, "hold on, when was the last time i felt this strongly about a piece of entertainment?"
Sure, if you know me, i felt strongly about the ongoing plotline for Noelle on Deltarune, so one would think "2021 when chapter two came out", right? but no, i got very invested but it wasn't it.
The last time i felt so strongly about a piece of media was actually Deltarune's predecesor, Undertale in 2015.
I finished Undertale in tears, i got in a very bad funk when i found out about the genocide ending, it truly made me feel emotions.
So i began to ponder, just what really moves me?
Full disclosure: I don't cry at movies. This is not a "look at me i am a badass who is not beheld by feelings" statement, no, i kinda just dont connect emotionally with movies as easily as other people.
I have talked about this, many times actually, Toy Story 3 did not make me cry, it always bothers me how people at the time were like "if TS3 didn't make you cry, you have no soul" and shit like that, so let me repeat something i have said many times before:
Toy Story 3 was a movie i went to see the day doctors had informed me my mother had entered terminal phase of cancer.
My friends took me to see TS3 when i felt the greatest sadness i have ever felt in my entire life. And im glad TS3 was a pretty funny movie that managed to distract me from what i was going through. TS3 uplifted me when i had a very real reason to cry.
So what im getting at is, i rarely connect emotionally with what conventionally makes people emotionally connected, not that i havent felt strong emotions from movies, but as we'll get to later, it's just not the stuff you would expect, when we get back to movies you'll be thinking, "what the fuck, Toy story 3 did not make you emotional but THIS THING DID?!"
So, if traditional "emotional things" rarely have moved me i began to think to myself, "what are things that have made me feel this strongly?"
I realized it's the damn weirdest things.
I'll try to list things that i can remember making me feel this emotional.
Now i'll be upfront, im not a very cultured person, so you'll notice most of this is...not very high brow.
Also, obviously spoilers for all this stuff im about to talk about.
Before we begin: Honorable mention goes to me finding out i had repressed memories of being traumatized as a kid by being show an animated adaptation of "Pilgrim's progress" by an aunt, which disturbed me greatly towards the end as the main character dies and before it the souls of two people he met are condemned to eternal damnation from making MISTAKES, not sins, not evil, but THE FUCKING MISTAKE of exploring alternate routes before them.
-Yoshi's Island, 1994 When i was a wee one Yoshi was one of my fave videogame characters, so of course i was beyond hype when a game where you play as yoshi came out, the ending is one of the greatest moments in videogame history, the beautiful music, the journey of the stork, and finally the classic Mario fan fare playing as baby mario and baby luigi being held by their parents with the words "Heroes are born", it's such a powerful moment. To this day i still cannot listen to that credits music without tearing up.
Tumblr media
Sequel? Retcon?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, SHUT UP, THIS IS THE PERFECT ENDING AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED AFTER IT!
-The bicentennial man, 1999 The bicentennial man is one of the biggest examples of a movie being fucking mischaracterized in the marketing, this movie is based on Isaac Asimov's short story and later novel, it stars Robin Williams, so all marketing was presenting the movie as Robin Williams comedy movie, IT. IS. NOT. The bicentennial man is a scifi drama about the existential search for meaning and the nature of what truly is to be alive. You get invested on the quest of this robot trying to find humanity for 200 years, and the punchline to this movie is, in his quest for humanity he forgoes the immortality being a machine provides him as he had developed the way to turn himself biological, still artificial but biological, and he dies peacefully on his sleep before he can be told that humanity had declared him, legally, a human being. To me it was such a powerful moment, he found true meaning to his life, became human, yet died before knowing so.
-Courage the cowardly dog, "The Mask", 2002 This is a legendary episode of an already great show that has a lot of very good emotional moments, some may cite episodes like "the giving tree" or "the last star maker", but for me it's this one. For those who have never experienced this episode, it revolves around a cat girl named Kitty who one day shows up at Courage's farm and she's wearing an upsetting mask, she abuses courage because she believes all dogs are bad. The mask serves 2 purposes, one is metaphorical, "her inability to face reality", the second is to hide her identity as she believes she is in danger. The thing is, she is on the run because her lover best friend Bunny is trapped in an abusive relationship with a gangster dog who threatened to kill her if she was seen near Bunny ever again, the episode coats the whole situation with a ton of goofiness, but it's actually very fucking dark: A young lesbian is trapped against her will on an abusive relationship with a toxic, violent man who threatened to kill her girlfriend if she refused to date him. Courage, being a good little dog ventures to save Bunny and have her reunite with Kitty because, despite how bad Kitty was to him, he recognizes that Kitty is a victim and she and Bunny deserve better, leading to Courage letting them escape away together, to live happy and free. I don't think it's just me, but the final image of Kitty and Bunny hugging as the train takes them to freedom felt so powerful to me.
Tumblr media
-Twisted Metal Head-on, 2002 This is one of the weirdest things i have ever gotten emotionally invested, but honestly? i love when some shitposting franchise suddenly manages to pull this off, specially given the set up for this whole thing im going to describe starts in an early game as a fucking joke. So to contextualize this, the first two Twisted metal games were helmed by the og creators of the franchise, TM 3, 4 and small brawl were made by different developers when the creators lost the rights, but during the PS2 era when the og developers came back and created TM: Black, and TM: Head-on, Black was a reboot, Head-on was a retcon sequel to TM 2 that eliminated TM3 from the timeline, but not TM 4. Still with me? Okay so TM2 had this character, Krista Sparks, who was the revealed to be the daughter of the main antagonist of the game, Calypso, but hold on? wasn't Calypso's backstory that his family died in a tragic accident which lead him to become evil? So turns out, the FBI retrieved his daughter's corpse, turned it into a robot with a bomb with the intend to make her get close to Calypso and blow him up. The ending ends comically with a message reading "The FBI wishes to thank you for putting an end to Twisted metal". Stil Still with me?!?!?! ok! so Head on! In this game Krista is back, as a ghost, her ending consists on her confronting her dad, who has now brought up so much pain, misery and death to the world, Calypso tries to explain that the nature of his powers mean he has to do this otherwise he cannot use his powers, and his plan was for Krista to win so he could bring her back and her mom to life, but Krista is so horrified with what has happened that she refuses and blurts "I wish the accident that killed me and mom never happened" the intention being impeding Calypso from becoming this evil super natural villian, but as per all endings, it's always a monkey paw affair and Calypso knows it, looking saddened he grants the wish because he has no option, his powers force him to. Briefly Krista has a vision of her childhood with her dad before he became evil as they share a sweet moment playing on a swing set. HARD CUT TO A HOSPITAL, Krista is on a bed in coma, Calypso is there and whispers to her something along the lines of "Sleep tight my dear, may you finally find peace", as Calypso is leaving the hospital you can hear 2 doctors talking, mentioning that Krista had been in coma for more than a decade and apparently Calypso just had found out. Excuse me Twisted Metal, but WHAT THE FUCK? You are a dumb fucking edgy car combat game, how dare you make me feel these things?
-Mother 3, 2006 (translation on 2008) Mother 3 hopefully needs no introduction, or maybe it does, because many people have reduced it to a joke due to how nintendo stubbornly refuses to give us an official release, but also many of you must know this franchise is the spark that ignited the flame of the absolute Juggernaut Undertale would become, as well as many other games influenced by it. The Mother/Earthbound games were known for being quirky and deviating from the standard conventions of the game, notably for the modern day setting and unorthodox choices of how you deal with the villians, they were always billed as emotional, but i feel they did not live up to that...until 3. The general narrative to Mother 3 is about how greed is destroying the world, the main villian corrupting what we see of the world (a paradise little town where everybody is nice) by introducing luxury, money and status....and also stomping everything with his fascist army and cyborg mutants. Mother 3 is a game about how the worst traits of humanity are destroying the world and upsetting nature. Mother 3 is also the story of 2 twin brothers who suffer tragedy after tragedy after tragedy that ultimately pits them one against the other with the fate of the world at stake. Mother 3 punches you almost immediately by killing the mother character (which i might mention you're encouraged to name after your own mother) at the end of the first chapter and how this affects her surviving family. one of the Twins, Claus, is so disturbed that he decides to on on his own to try to kill the monster that took his mom, while the other, Lucas, was too afraid and weak to stop his brother, resulting on Claus dying as well...but the badguys take his corpse and reanimate it into a cold, emotionless cyborg who follow's the big bad's order and is using him to try to cause the end of the world. In the climax of the story Lucas is force to confront Claus, clause is a brain washed cyborg, his master is out of the picture and all he can do is fight, you can't reason with him...and then.... Lucas and Claus begin to hear a voice, a familiar voice, it's their mother, reaching for them from beyond the grave, pleading for them to stop fighting, suddenly Lucas and Claus both have a flash back to when they were babies, overhearing their parents talk about the hopes they have for them, the many things they will be able to achieve together, this makes Clause snap out of his brain washing, removing the helmet that had been hiding his face since he was resurrected, Lucas and him have a moment as they are finally reunited, Claus realizes all the bad things he has done while under control of the bad guy and realizes he must atone for his crimes, he prepares a lightning attack he knows cannot hurt Lucas and cause HIM to die. "Im sorry for all the problems i caused" he says as he is dying on his dad's arm, "I must go to where mom is now", as he passes away he can hear his mother calling for him, "You just be so tired" she says. Now i know it will sound insane for people to hear a videogame of all things can make one so emotional, but damn, just recollecting these scenes for this dumb post has made me start to cry, the emotional punch of this scene is very strong, it demolished me when i played the game back in the day, but now? After my own mother passed away? I have been scared of playing this game again. I mot sure if im emotionally prepare to go though that again, even 10+ years later. That's how powerful this scene was to me.
-Elite Beat Agents, 2007 If you have played this game, you know were im going, for those who dont, EBA is a silly rhythm game about secret agent cheer leaders that are dispatched around the world to help people in need by raising their spirit and allow them to overcome adversity, the game is insanely wacky and have scenarios like helping a ninja car salesman prevent a company from stealing his company's secrets, helping a washed up baseball star fight a lava spitting golem rampaging on an amusement park and traveling back in time to help davinci paint the mona lisa. EBA is also the second game in the Ouendan series, and there is something you need to know about this series: They all include tearjerker levels to contrast with all the goofiness. "A christmas Wish" is a christmas themed level set to Chicago's "You are the inspiration" and the story to this level is positively DEVASTATING: A few months before christmas a business man tells his daughter and wife he has to go on a business trip but he promises he'll be back just in time for christmas, the girl asks him to bring back a "girlfriend" for her teddy bear. The father dies on a plane crash. When the mother breaks the news to the little girl she gets angry, crying to the skies that her dad promised he would be back for christmas. The backdrop of the stage is set the girl and the mom doing things to remember the dad, like looking through a photo album and baking a cake for his birthday, it's very sweet, but...this is EBA, if you're doing poorly you see the "bad" versions of these scenes, and in this one, one is very devastating, the little girl is having a dream where she's chasing the spirit of her dad, if you're doing well she calls for him and for a brief moment the dad stops and starts turning towards her, if you're doing bad the spirit fades away and the girl wakes up in tears. Dear goodness. But of course, if you beat the level you get this sequence of the ghost of the dad showing up on chrismas morning to fullfil his promise, giving the little girl the teddy bear he promised and having the chance to say good bye to his family.
Tumblr media
This punches you really fucking hard in the gut. I am incapable of doing this level without ending in tears. For a time i could not even listen to this song without tearing up until, i shit you now, the deadpool movie used it on a comedy scene.
-Punch out!!, 2009 This one is one i know got me because of personal nostalgia, when i was a wee one the og NES punch out was a big part of my childhood, Punch Out!! on the wii was a masterfully crafted tribute to the franchise. To not dwell too much time on this, this game has an interesting quirk, the ending is a downer ending and it's the only ending you can get. After you beat the last opponent there is a sequence where Mac and Doc seemingly are having a disagreement, where Mac seemingly has decided that if he loses 3 times, he'll retire from boxing completely. After this you face randomly opponents from the game, the first time you lose in this mode you lose your champion title, after three loses, it's game over and the story mode becomes locked for that save file. The final cutscene is Doc walking through what seems to be a gallery with boxing memorabilia, and untold number of years later, he is alone, he spots his old bike on this gallery and rings the bell, he looks up and speak to an absent Mac, "Good job son, good job", as he leaves the camera pans to reveal he was looking at a framed photo of him and Mac on one of their training sessions. The music on this sequence is so perfect, and it was aimed at people like me, people who grew up with the franchise, the idea was making it feel like Doc was reminiscing of YOUR time with punch out when you were a kid, and to make you think about how far YOU have come since the first time you played the games in an arcade, or your nes, or snes. It's actually pretty effective and it got me.
-Regular Show, "Trucker Hall of Fame", 2012 What makes this one different from others instances of me making me emotional, it's, much like the "Angel Hare" example at the top, this one is all about WARM HAPPY FEELINGS, so for those who did not watch this episode, let me summarize it for you: One day Muscleman gets word that his dad, who was his personal hero, has passed away, and he's tasked with carrying his final wish, spread his [hat's] ashes in a place called "Trucker hall of fame", you see, Muscleman was lead to believe his dad was a legendary trucker and that earned him his admiration, but during the episode Muscleman finds out he was lied to, his dad was a forklift driver that the truckers belittled, altho feeling cheated for having been lied to he carries on with his father's wishes. Now because this is regular show, when they arrive at the trucker's hall of fame they are immediately attacked by ghost trucker for "desecrating the hall of fame" as they spread the ashes something happens: The ghost of Muscleman's dad manifests himself and saves his son, taking the chance to apologize to his son and having the chance to say his final good bye personally. Despite the inherent silliness of the show's premise, i think this episode really did a good job on expressing that sense of catharsis of making peace with the passing of a love one.
-The Final Girls, 2015 A friend suggested we watched this movie, and much like Twisted metal up there, i absolutely did not expect for this incredibly stupid comedy horror movie to hit me with any sort of emotional connection, and yet... The Final Girls opens with the main character in a car with her mom, who is an struggling C-tier actress whose biggest achievement ever was appearing on a Friday the 13th knock off movie, during this sequence they get in an accident where the mom dies and even after it's been some time since the accident the main character has not properly moved on from the passing of her mom. Her friends and some people at the college she attends are preparing this horror movie festival where the main event is they are going to play the movies from the franchise her mom was on, and they suggest she should come. Then some bullshit happens and they all end up somehow trapped in the world of the movie. A quick rundown of the rules of horror movies is explained to them, the monster cannot be defeated by fighting it, it's only the final girl who can defeat the killer, and unfortunately for them they accidentally killed the character that, in the canon of the movie, is the final girl, so they believe one of them has to become the final girl and end the movie to hopefully get out of it. The problem is, the main character is experimenting shock from interacting with her mom's character, she is not taking well to seeing her mom on the flesh and she dedicates the entire movie to "save her mom", in the climax of the movie the mom character begins to understand that she is a fictional character and the nature of her attachment to the main character, understanding that they cannot be both the final girl and if then main character wants to make it back to the real world she has to learn "To let go", choosing to sacrifice herself so there is only one final girl. It's kinda weird, that of all possible premises, this managed to make a "You need to move on" message that somehow managed to resonate with me, you might have figured out by now a running theme here, but, i was really hard for me to deal with my mother's passing even if it's been years since it happened, so it's kinda funny for me to think these are the places i have found comfort from.
-Undertale, 2015 Okay this is tumblr, i already talked about Undertale on the prologue to, whatever the fuck im doing here, you know what undertale is, you know how effective it is, Undertale is really well designed for you to grow emotionally attached to these characters, so being able to see all these characters you know have grown attached to have their happy ending on the pacifist ending does fill one with a very satisfactory warm happy feeling that can move you to tears. ...Or you can be bummed out by being a little greedy gaming bitch and taking a look at the bad ending. Because you just couldn't help yourself, could you?
-Onward, 2020 This movie did not hit me as hard as the most emotional entries on this, but it still got me, because in the end of the day the main motivation of the characters on this movie is experiencing closure, catharsis over the death of their father, for Ian it's the fact that he died before he was born so he never met him and is driven by this desire to finally see the father who he shares such a connection with on the stories everybody who knew him in life have told him, and then there is Barley, the elder brother, who did know his dad in life, but is tortured by how, as a kid, he did not properly say good bye to him because he was terrified of death and avoided being there for him in his final days. The ending for this movie is very powerful, Ian choosing to sacrifice being able to meet his dad in the flesh, even for a few minutes, in order to give Barley the chance to being able to properly make peace with his dad and properly say good bye to him. Ian doesn't even get to SEE this, he does not get to see his dad even tho it was what he wanted most of all, but he understood bringing closure to Barley was more important than his selfish desire to see his dad, someone he never knew in life.
So what have i learned from whatever the hell this trainwreck of a post is...i guess that what really gets to me, what really moves me, is when a character, maybe not even someone i can realistically relate to, gets to experience closure, catharsis and be in peace with the people who are missing on their life. The majority of these things in here, even the Angel Hare example, relate to a character being able to experience catharsis by being able to properly make pace or otherwise contact someone they lost, or their ability to move on from this world, so to speak, knowing that their affairs and in order and that their loved ones will be okay.
Things can always look dark, the world may be trying to keep you down, maybe losing someone has been specially hard for you, but it's not the end of the world, you are loved and things can get better, it always hurts and we'll never stop missing what we have lost, but the memories of happier times are there to remind us, we can be happy again, and we can move on, use those memories as your motivation, you can lead yourself to a future filled with light.

I read the Ralph secret lover and I loved it!
but personally I don't think we have to end the secret lovers there!
What if....HERE ME OUT!
Splinter had a secret girlfriend! Like he met her can be completely up to you! but maybe she is a Foreign language teacher and Splinter starts hanging out with her when the boys are on patrol?
Wait- wait wait wait- Anon, you're onto something here... (hey, uh- keep in mind this is my first time writing romantically for Splinter sooo-)
Tumblr media
SPLINTER WITH A SECRET GIRLFRIEND
You two would probably meet late one night while he was on a walk.
He had decided that he needed some fresh air, well as fresh as it gets in New York, so while the boys were on patrol, he left for a walk.
You happened to be on your way back to your apartment after staying late at your job to grade some assignments.
The two of you ran into each other completely by chance, and it was pretty much love at first sight.
You didn't start dating for quite a while, due to his own reservations about moving on from Tang Shen,
You waited for him as long as he needed you too, knowing how much she meant and still means to him.
You know that you'll never ever replace her, and that she'll always have a place in his heart,
But you don't mind that.
She was his first love after all, his wife and the mother of his child,
You never ever planned to replace her, and Yoshi cannot even begin to explain how grateful he is for that.
Yoshi decided he wanted to wait to tell his boys, which you were ok with.
However, you couldn't wait to meet them, all the stories Yoshi had told and baby picture he had shown you, making you adore the boys before they even knew you exsisted.
When he did tell them he was seeing someone,
They actually thought he was joking.
When they realized he was, in fact, not joking,
All four of them had similar reactions of shock.
Splinter asked if they would like to meet you, and all four answered yes.
He brought you over for dinner later that night, and you were terrified.
"What if they hate me? Oh my gosh, what if they think I'm a terrible person? Wha-"
Yoshi took you hand, "Koibito, you are rambling. Trust me, they will love you."
You took a deep breath, "You're right, you're right. I'm just a little nervous."
"And that is completely reasonable. But I know my sons will be just as adoring of you as I."
You arrived at the entrance of his home, and after one last deep breath, he lead you into the main room.
"Guys! Sensei's home!"
Mikey was the first to approach you, excitedly introducing himself and dragging you into the kitchen where his three brothers sat.
Mikey sat you down in the chair next to him, and you smiled at the boys.
Leo smiled, back, extending his hand for you to shake, "You must be, Sensei's, kanojo."
You nodded, taking Leo's hand, "I am. My name is, (Name). If I'm remembering mask colors correctly, you must be Leonardo."
He nodded, "I am, it's a pleasure to meet you, (Name)."
You chuckled as Yoshi sat down, waving a dismissive hand, "No need to be so formal. It's not like I'm the president of the United States, afterall."
Mikey smiled at his brothers, whispering excitedly to them in Japanese, "She seems as great as Sensei said, doesn't she?"
The boy whom you assumed was Donatello, nodded, "She definitly seems like a good fit for Sensei."
Raph leaned back in his chair, "What did Sensei say she does for work again?"
Yoshi chuckled, and you snorted, responding in Japanese, "I'm a foreign language teacher. I speak fluent Japanese."
All four boys went red, and you laughed with Yoshi.
That day you earned the boys trust,
They noticed how much happier their father was, and they were very grateful for it.
You'd visit often, and are always happy to spend time with the boys.
But you're never pushy with it.
You understand that they might still be a bit apprehensive about you dating their father,
So you made sure you respected their boundaries, but also showed them as much love as you could.
You cooked for the family, and provided them with food, toiletries, and other nessecities while also buying little gifts here and there.
I personally don't think Yoshi would mind small acts of PDA, hand-holding or cheek kisses,
But full on embracing or kissing are saved for behind closed doors.
You'll meditate with him sometimes,
You find it helps relieve some of your teaching stress.
Speaking of teaching, Yoshi often has you sit in on the boys lesson's.
You know quite abit about martial arts yourself having studied it when you traveled to Japan to further your education.
He insists however, that he teach you himself just to ensure you can defend yourself.
If Shredder ever discovers your exsistence, he is terrified of losing you.
He knows that Shredder will go to any lenghts to hurt him.
Yoshi expresses these worries to you, and he suggests that you move in with them.
You asked him to let you think about it, and to also discuss it with the boys since it was their home too.
After talking about it to the boys and getting their approval of you moving in, you agreed you would.
It definitly helped ease Yoshi's worry, he still has his anxieties when you go to work, insisting one, or all, of the boys walk you home, just in case.
If Shredder ever does manage to get his hands on you,
Yoshi is seeing red.
It's all he can do to keep his wits about him and not charge in to save you.
When they do arrive to save you, he needs to keep reminding himself of the plan and not rush to you.
Shredder is questioning you, rather roughly, about Yoshi's wereabouts, and you scowl deeply,
"Anata jishin no fakku." (Go fuck yourself) and then you spit in his face.
You spit on the fucking Shredder.
You crazy bitch.
Obviously, that pissed him off, but before he could do anything to hurt you further, your kareshi came to your rescue.
They took you home after a short scuffle, and Yoshi tended to your wounds.
Thankfully it was only mild bruises and cuts, and he scolded you for your blatent disregard for you own safety.
Once your wounds had been properly tended to, Yoshi pulled you in for a tight hug, ane you felt slow tears fall down your face.
"I thought he was going to take you from me. I thought he would- that-"
"I know." You whispered soothingly, "I know. But I'm here, I'm ok. I'm ok.."
Yoshi kept you close for a while after that, scared that if he looked away for even a second, you'd be taken from him a second time, only that this time he might not get to you in time.
The whole experience has the both of you really shaken up.
But at least you have each other for comfort,
Because this man would follow you to hell and back if he needed to,
And he knows you'd do the same.
....................................
I got kinda... carried away with this one... oops-
Uhm, quick little edit here:
Completely forgot the translations lol-
Koibito: Sweetheart/Lover
Kanojo: Girlfriend
Kareshi: Boyfriend
Anata jishin no fakku: Go fuck yourself
Let me know if any of these are incorrect! <3

“You really didn’t learn your lesson, did you?” You growl, bearing your teeth at your pixie friend.
Yoshi smirks, “I don’t know what you mean by that.”
Yoshi tilts his head making his half white-half brown hair flop to the side. His glittery wings flutter with excitement. You narrow your eyes at him, your tails flicking in irritation. You know that you really aren’t irritated with him. You know exactly how to get him to behave again. He knows, too. It’s exactly what he wants to happen.
“What are you gonna do about it?” he thinks.
“We talked about this, Yoshinori… you better speak out loud if you want something.”
“Where’s the fun in that? I’d like to see you try to put me in my place again.”
That was the final straw. You surge forward and grab his jaw, squishing his cheeks together slightly. His eyes have a glimmer of defiance despite clearly not having the upper hand. His thoughts are quiet even though his face is clearly telling a different story. Leaning forward, you crush your lips against his in a harsh, heated kiss. Yoshi makes a small, surprised noise when you let your hand fall to his throat. You don’t put any pressure, but it’s enough to say that you’re in control here.
“Oh, god…” he thinks, “I need something… anything…”
“You ready to use your words, pixie?” You question against his lips.
“Fuck me, please?” His tone is whiney and needy.
You pull away, eyes hooded with lust. You show your fangs slightly and watch as Yoshi’s eyebrows furrow with desperation. Even though he also has fangs of his own, he can’t help but be desperate to see the pretty bite marks you leave behind on him. Grabbing his hand, you drag him to your room. His mind is running rampant with debauched thoughts. One, however, catches your attention. The idea of sitting on his face while simply toying with him, hardly giving him any relief, sounds so delicious to you. The fact that he’s thinking about it as well only adds to the idea that he really does want you to pick him apart until he’s a completely fucked out mess.
It takes all of two minutes to have your pixie friend stripped and lying back on your bed. Yoshi is already a fucked out mess with just a few kisses, and you can’t wait to pick him apart more. Leaning over his body, you leave barely-there kisses along his jaw. In your peripheral, you can see him bucking his hips up once in a while. Still, you won’t pay attention to what he wants you to.
“Please~” he whines mentally.
The fact that he’s intentionally not saying things out loud only makes you want to ruin him more. 
“Say it out loud, Yoshi.”
“M-mommy,” he whines, “Please, I want something. Anything, please!”
You smirk and nip at his skin lightly before pulling away. Stripping all of your clothing from your body, you make eye contact with the pixie. His stardust-covered wins leave glittery marks across your bedding. Seeing it sends a flutter of something through your chest. You wouldn’t mind seeing the glittery substance there all the time.
“Put your head up on the pillows.” You guide.
Yoshi moves up further on your bed. Trails of the stardust follow his wings as he moves. You saunter over to him and climb up on the bed. At first, you think about teasing him more, but instead, you straddle yourself over his face. You’re facing toward the rest of his body. His shimmery skin makes your mind and heart reel with different thoughts, some more debauched than others. You glance down at his upper body to ensure you don’t accidentally kneel on his wings before lowering yourself just out of reach of his mouth.
“Now, you’re gonna eat me out like a good boy, and maybe I’ll reward you for it.”
“Yes, mommy.” He whimpers.
Without further conversation, you lower yourself fully onto his mouth. Yoshi instantly starts lapping at your pussy as if he hasn’t eaten in weeks. Every once in a while, you feel his fangs brush against you. It’s not something you expect, but you aren’t entirely upset about it either. His mind is going a mile a minute with filthy content. He’s eating you out in a way that makes you see stars, too. You reach back with one hand and tangle it in his hair, tugging lightly. You push your tails out of the way to make sure he can still have some semblance of vision even though his eyes are closed, focusing on eating you out as best he can.
“You’re doing such a good job, pretty boy. Eating mommy out so well.”
Yoshi makes a small noise reveling in the praise with the accompanied thought of “Thank you, Mommy”. Hearing him call you that out loud or in his mind sends you through even more thoughts that are far beyond anything you should say out loud. You grind against his face a bit while tugging his two-toned hair. His hips thrust up again. This time, you finally decided to give him some attention. You let your body fall forward so your elbows are against the mattress just below the bottom edge of his wings.
“You want me to touch you, pretty pixie?” You lift your hips just enough to let him have some room to respond.
“P-please, Mommy. Want you to let me eat you out more.” His tone is high and desperate.
You chuckle, “Don’t worry, Yoshi, I’ll sit again. Do you want me to touch your pretty cock?”
He nods, his hair tickling against your ankle, “Please, Mommy.”
You sit down fully again and bring one of your hands to wrap around the base of his member. The natural shimmer of his skin mixed with the beads of precum coming from his tip makes your mouth water. You pump your hand around him slowly, relishing in his moans reverberating against your pussy. Taking your other hand, you focus on his tip. You spread his precum around the head of his member, making his already shimmery skin shine even more. 
“Fuck…” he groans mentally, “Feels so– fuck”
“Is mommy making you feel good, pretty pixie?”
“Yes, mommy, wanna make you cum.”
You grind against his face again, “Focus on my clit, pretty.”
Yoshi doesn’t need to be told twice. He focuses on the small bud, licking and sucking it into his mouth. You speed up your hands and gasp out a chuckle when he starts thrusting up into your hand. Between the desperation to please you and chase after his own pleasure, it’s safe to say he’s completely pussy drunk.
It doesn’t take long for his moans to flow continuously from his lips while still doing his best to eat you out. Your high bubbles closer each time he licks or sucks on your pussy. You play with his cock in just the right way to know he’s just as close.
“Can I–” he stops to moan, “I need–”
He stops speaking to start eating you out again. You moan at the feeling and press yourself against him harshly.
“Gonna cum, but I wanna keep eating you and, and– mommy!”
“It’s okay, pretty pixie.” You moan, “Cum for me. I’m almost there.”
He thrusts up into your hands until he cums across your hands and his belly. He sucks on your clit harder, making you see stars again. Your orgasm washes over you; your thighs quiver around his head, and moans fall from your lips like a never-ending melody. 
Once you calm down a bit, you get off of his face and see how glossy the lower half of his face is. From his chin, all the way up to the end of his button nose, are covered in your arousal. 
“We should clean you up, Yoshi.” 
“I wanna keep pleasing you.” He pouts, “Please, Mommy?”
You breathe in sharply before responding, “You know I’d love that, but we also both know that if we do, we won’t leave my room for the rest of the night.”
Yoshi smiles, showing his small fangs, “I see no issue with that.”
“The issue is that we’re meeting with Haruto and Asahi in about a half hour.”
Yoshi makes a displeased noise but doesn’t fight any further. He gets up and follows you into the bathroom and takes ahold of one of your tails, smoothing out the white and teal fur. You smile softly at him before reaching to grab two towels out of the closet.
“At least one more round in the shower?” He asks with sparkling eyes.
You sigh with a small smile resting on your lips, “You’re a bad influence, Yoshi.”
“You love me!” He giggles.“Maybe a bit.”

So this is how my recent interaction with the FF14 subreddit has been going.
(Yoshi-P reveals that Alexandria is from the Ninth.)
"Yeah, no shit, this was obvious. Everyone saying it was the Twelfth were being stupid, since that Shard has been Rejoined. It's gone, and it can't be reached anymore."
Me: "They weren't being stupid. It's still possible to travel to a Shard that's been Rejoined. Both the Ninth and the Twelfth had equal chances of being Alexandria's origin."
"No, traveling to a Shard that's been Rejoined is impossible."
Me: "G'raha did it."
"Um, that's because he used the Crystal Tower + Alexander + Ironworks tech."
Me: "Yes, so it's possible."
"Well, the writers can't use that strategy again cuz G'raha's body is still in there, and the future is now different!"
Me: "Then the writers can come up with something new. I'm not concerned about the details."
"Well, they shouldn't."
Me: "I'm just saying that if the writers did want us to go to a Rejoined Shard, they easily can, because it's been proven to be possible. If Yoshi-P had confirmed Alexandria to be from the 12th and not the 9th, it still would've made 100% sense."
"Well, that's not what Yoshi-P said, so you're still wrong. What Alexandria did is completely different from what G'raha did, anyway."
Me: "Okay. I'm not concerned with the in-universe mechanics. I'm just saying that the story has proven it's possible to travel to a Shard that had been Rejoined."
"G'raha didn't even go to a Rejoined Shard anyway. He went to the past and got to the First before it was Rejoined."
Me: "Yes, he went to a Rejoined Shard. Because it's possible."
"The only way Alexandria could've been the Twelfth is if the gate to Alexandria also had time-travel properties."
Me: "So you understand that it's possible."
"No one has ever traveled to a Rejoined Shard, they've only traveled to the ~past version~ of a Rejoined Shard."
Me: "Yes, traveling to a Rejoined Shard is possible."
"You're being too vague."
Me: "I'm saying that traveling to a Rejoined Shard is possible."
...Like, I feel like I'm going crazy???
And of course all my posts are getting downvoted, and the guy who said no one's ever gone to a Shard that's been Rejoined is getting upvoted like crazy despite that being objectively wrong and disproven by canon.
Like, I know it's low-hanging fruit to insult redditors, but how are these guys being so comically obtuse? This is some insane hive-mind intelligence.

7. Ewan McGregor Movie Review: The Pillow Book (1996)
Tumblr media
Genre: Erotic/Romance
Rating: Un-Rated
Director: Peter Greenaway
Starring: Vivian Wu, Yoshi Oida, Ewan McGregor
Synopsis: "The Pillow Book" is an erotic film about a woman, Nagiko, who has a fetish for men writing on her body. What started as an innocent tradition of her father writing on her for her birthday, evolved into an obsession with finding the perfect calligrapher / lover. Nagiko also aspires to be a writer like her namesake, Sei Shonagon, the author of The Pillow Book. After she is rejected by a book publisher who sexually assaulted her father she instead decides to walk the path of revenge.
Ewan Review: Ewan McGregor plays the character Jerome, a bisexual English translator. He is chosen by Nagiko to help with her revenge unbeknownst to him. He is completely nude several times in the film, has a female and male love interest, and sex scenes with both of them. He has an English accent for the movie and has a couple lines in French and Japanese. Another fun fact: you might notice that he's pretty slender in this role and that's because he was in the process of losing weight for his role in "Trainspotting".
Screentime Percentage: Ewan is on screen for a grand total of 28/127 minutes making his SP 22%.
To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is this movie worth watching for Ewan content alone? Yes! Did I mention the nudity? Is it worth watching in general? I say yes. I know this movie won't be for everyone. It's a weird story, highly erotic, and has slow pacing. Still, I enjoy it and wouldn't dissuade someone from watching.
Where to Watch: "The Pillow Book" is currently available to rent through YouTube.
Movie Warnings: There are some things that happen in the movie that you might want to be aware of before committing to watching it. Nudity nudity and more nudity! Women and men are naked and yes that includes seeing their genitals. There are a LOT of penises in this movie. There's blackmail via sexual assault as well as a suicide scene, skin cutting, blood, and defiling of a dead body.
Conclusion: The Pillow Book" is a beautiful work of art. Though it is a weird story, it's also interesting and captures your attention. Though it's highly erotic, the eroticism adds value to the story and isn't there just for shock. And while the pacing may be slow, it allows the viewer to absorb information and appreciate the visual storytelling. I encourage you to open your mind and give it a chance. Like Nagiko, you just might learn something new about yourself.

Party has gone "wrong"? Part.1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆˚✿˖° Beomgyu
Yoshi: hey guys, I thought I should start a tag list, but please let me know if you think I should, and if I should add you. So I'm back here with another imagine ik it took a while but this one is my first imagine of Beomgyu and I mostly did it for @xoaless4evaa cuz she's Beomgyu biased, and I hope you guys enjoy it let me know what are your thoughts. enjoy!
paring: fem drummer reader x college soccer team captain Beomgyu.
Warnings: fluff, angst smau. If your name is Katie I’m sorry but you can change the name of ur bff ( in the story) if u want to
words:396
sypnosis: it's October which means Halloween is on the way. Popular kids are throwing parties. Your best friend and you got an invite from Beomgyu, the popular guy soccer team captain.
Tumblr media
—Beomgyu was always a proper guy, because he wasn’t a soccer teawm. And on the other hand there’s you, you were always the shy type of girl, you were the drummer on the band, but that didn’t make you popular, mostly because you were really awkward and clumsy.
🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆
—Hallowen was coming by so everyone was talking about their costumes and their plans . only had one friend, Katie, but you didn’t mind at all. It seems like some people were going to do a party and invite the whole school. Didn’t wanna go to any of those parties but was begging you to go. Of course you didn’t want your friend to be sad so you said yes.
🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆
—You were planning to accept the first invite that you receive, and you waited for a while until the first invite was from the soccer team captain, Beomgyu. Katie was excited, but you were nervous, Beomgyu was your crush, every girl liked him and you tried to be the exception, but how can you not fall in love with him?
“Katie, can we please wait until the next invite comes in?” “ but y/n, The whole campus is invited by so there won’t be another one plus, it’s Beomgyu” she said the last part in a flirty way like if that makes things better.
You were planning on not spending much in your costume since you had a student loan and also because of inflation things are getting expensive. So you chose a vampire fit it was like 15 bucks, Katie had told you that she was gonna go dressed up as a racer.
🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆
—Halloween arrived faster than what you thought, you find yourself on Katie‘s dorm getting ready, she was finishing your make up “Alr we are ready, let’s go!” You both went downstairs to Katie’s car. I started heading to the party.
🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆
—When you arrived to the party, before entering, Katie asked “ do I look good?” You found Katie’s look a bit too revealing, but you still said “ yes!” “ OK let’s go in then” you guys go in and you spent a good 10 minutes having fun until Katie told you she was gonna get drinks for you two she had told you to stay where you where. after a few minutes you got worried so you text Katie making sure everything’s okay. She replied saying everything was okay. She was hanging out with other girls. So you decided to sit on an empty table, because you didn’t have a car to get back home.
🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆
After a while, group of girls with customes and made them look like sluts came up to your table and sat down. You didn’t mind that all until you heard what they were saying about you. “ Oh my God, she looks so friendless” “ her costume is from Dollar tree” “ she probably found it on the street” “ is she really scared of showing some skin” “ I know, right”. Every comment made you want to cry even more. so you had enough if you were the bathroom was they said the bathroom was upstairs. So you went upstairs you open the first door you saw and you find.. BEOMGYU?!?!

Scrambled Eggs: bowser x luigi, mario x donkey kong
inspired by Egg Time by @linadoon-draws
mostly how i thought it would go based on their summary cuz i thought it was mario talking in it
the stork delivers an egg to the wrong house
story under the read more
Scrambled Eggs (also on ao3)
“...”
Mario and Luigi weren’t sure what they were looking at. The brother’s stared at the sizeable egg, innocently sitting in a nest of blankets on their living room couch.
"Weegee...” Mario started, neither brother moving their gaze from the egg.
“Hm?”
“Where did-a you get-a this egg?”
“Stork left it this-a mornin’,” Luigi answered, tilting his head and yawning. The reality of it it all was still catching up to his sleep deprived mind.
“What?!”
                                                 a few hours later
The bros decided they needed coffee to fully process what was going on and, after some breakfast, started brainstorming on what to do.
It couldn’t have been Mario’s; he and Donkey Kong had only been dating for about a month, and neither would’ve had an egg since they were both mammals. Mario was at least 75% sure this world didn’t work like that. Probably.
The red plumber would have thought it was Luigi’s if his bro wasn’t, to his knowledge, single as a pringle. And that still didn’t explain why it would be an egg.
It didn’t look like any Yoshi egg they’d seen before but it wouldn’t hurt to put the word out in case the Storks had somehow mixed up the address and its parents were looking for it.
A quick call to their royal friends and word about their surprise guest was already circulating through the kingdoms, all they had to do was wai-
THWUMP!
The two jumped as something heavy landed outside and made its way to their front door. They shared a look, unsure of who it could be. Disregarding the princesses and Prince Peasely, most royals in this world were pretty big.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
At least they were polite enough to knock. Luigi looked at his brother before nodding, staying back to protect the egg if needed. 
Opening the door cast the living room in shadow as the red mario brother looked up, up, up until he saw the Koopa King’s muzzle, eyes almost burning a hole into his face.
“Where is he?”
Mario blinked. “Scusa?”
Bowser huffed, smoke blowing into Mario’s face.
“My brat. Where is he?”
“ Il tuo uovo?” Luigi exclaimed from the couch, no wonder the thing was so huge!
Bowser’s expression softened at the sight of his egg, safe and sound in the younger plumber’s arms as he carried it over.
With a gentleness the brother’s didn’t think he was capable of, Bowser carefully took the egg from Luigi and left.
“...”
“So, you and-a Bow-?”
“Mamma Mia, Mario! I’m not-a dating Bowser!!”
BONUS:
scusa? = excuse me/ sorry?
il tuo uovo? = Your egg?

Asking some writers/artists I follow:
Is there anything in your fic/comic that you as the author know about, but won't end up in the actual story?
@friendlyneighborhoodterrapin oohhhh I love this question!! It is so fun. You always have the best asks. 💚💚💚
so I am going to take this time to ramble about both The Rise Hunger Games AU and the Leave AU. I tried to avoid any big spoilers but no guarantees!
RHG au: 
Okay so for a while there I was totally delusional and convinced myself I’d write a full length fic focusing on each individual brother. I had names and a very very brief plot for each. This is 100% not happening, so I’m going to share those names. They were actually supposed to reflect the previous brother who had gone before them. (Which is partially why Donnie, who is after Raph, has the fic title ‘Turning a New Shade of Red’)
Turning a new shade of red(donnie)
Shadows of us are still dancing(leo)
Coming like a storm into your town (mikey)
We don’t burn the way you’d expect (raph)
So this isn’t totally canon so much as just a fun little thing I have in mind when writing, but you might occasionally see brief mentions of a failed uprising/attempted rebellion. This is a reference to the Hunger Games canon books, but like an au where they failed really early on and the rebellion never got off the ground. This won’t have any bearing on the story but it’s just a fun little background thing I think about sometimes and call it the secret timeline. Canon THG characters will continue to never be mentioned or important to the story lol. 
Talk of SA here but.
Okay so you remember how Finnick was getting pimped out in the original Hunger Games? That is definitely happening. Nothing will ever be explicit but you’ll notice little things mentioned offhandedly, like how Yoshi refuses to let Raph come to the Capitol after he turns 18, or how Cassandra’s victor ceremony really put an emphasis on her transition to womanhood, so on and so forth…. And Yoshi’s whole…everything before he returned to District 4. It’s another way to show how the Capitol views their victors as commodities and playthings. A lot of interactions Donnie and his fellow tributes/past victors have with people from the Capitol are meant to make readers feel at least vaguely uncomfortable. (Iiiif I’m doing it right.)
Leave AU: 
Okay so in this AU, despite living with Draxum and getting training, they aren’t doing much with mystics. Why? Because right now Draxum is focusing more on teaching them ways to develop and deepen their mystic reserves as opposed to actually using them. (Think meditation and katas and stuff like that.) This is for a couple reasons. One, because he believes they’re too young to be able to safely handle that sort of power. Two, because it’s a power and control thing. Three, because he needs them to store up as much mystics as possible so they can recover when he extracts the mutagen/empyrean from their blood. This might get mentioned eventually in the fic, but basically they go through these monthly/bi-weekly blood draws because the compound they were created with is naturally occurring within them, so Draxum essentially has an unlimited (if slow to harvest) supply of it on hand to experiment with. (Hope that made sense!)
Fun fact, Draxum actually had a lot of potential to be a really good parent in this AU. It’s mentioned sometimes, how he was strict but kind and gentle with them when they were younger. This is because at first, he really did intend to raise them differently after he realized he’d made a miscalculation in mutating babies instead of ready-to-go older warriors. So he was reading them bedtime stories and tucking them in and allowing them to have toys, even though he did want to start training them as warriors once they reached teenage/adulthood. In this AU, though, the counsel of heads decided to take more of an interest in his work than they do in canon and start applying a lot of pressure on him to produce results. So his long term project had to shift gears and become more focused on results instead of childrearing much sooner than he would have wanted. He’s doing it for the good of all yokaikind, though, so even though he may not like it he is able to be cold and distant with his children experiments and view them mainly as weapons. 
Draxum absolutely has a favorite kid. I have many thoughts and reasons for this that I am resisting the urge to ramble about here. (Luckily @boots-with-the-fur-club lets me ramble to her when I need to get it out of my system!) So in order of most to least favorite, it is:

can you do a leo x fem ninja reader here the story the reader in a clan called otsutsuki clan (from naruto) that are unquestionably strongest clan and ally of the hamato clan the reader was told by her ancestors to find someone named hamato yoshi and help him stop the foot clan getting the mystic metal and created the shredder when the reader spotted the yokai turtles fighting the foot clan they decided to help them
Ooo that's really cool idea! And I haven't watched Naruto yet but I did a little research on it, I hope that's okay!
Sorry for any mistakes!
━═━═━═━═━
Ally
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• when your clan members find out about an organization trying to recreate Shredder by collecting his armor they were pretty on edge
• yeah, Otsutsuki clan was the strongest clan but the demon wasn't something even they could look down on
• the clan responsible for keeping Shredder from destroying the world was Hamato clan, they had the most backstory with the Foot clan who is now trying to bring back Shredder, but after the disappearance of the last of the members - Hamato Yoshi - the Foot clan's activity increased
• however, some time ago, your ancestors gained an information that Hamato Yoshi is still alive, and because your clan is an ally to them they opted to take action
• so they decided that you were the best fit to travel all the way to New York, find him and help him stop the Foot clan
"Prepare yourself, you're going to New York tomorrow. Your goal is to find Hamato Yoshi and prevent Foot clan from ressurecting the Shredder."
'...okay?'
• it was pretty sudden, you need to admit, but the thought of going somewhere far on a mission was exciting
• your ancestors belived you're capable of doing it alone so you're not going to let them down
• unfortunately for you, finding one member of Hamato clan in a big city was more difficult than you thought
• finding four at the same time was way easier
Standing on the edge of a building, looking at the starless sky, you sighted deeply. Vivid lights illuminating form the city streets painted your face in various colors as you thought about your next course of action. New York was big but you were determined. And 'were' is a key world there. You were searching for far to long without any good results, which made you frustrated.
The sound of busy streets filled your ears making you lower your eyes scanning the cars and people below you. You knew you're not able to enjoy the same life as they have - you simply didn't belong there. Especially with the horns poking out of your head. You didn't really mind though, even if you were a little curious.
The world didn't let you think for to long, however, when a loud bang made you look at the dark alley on the other side of the building. Swiftly jumping across the roof you peaked over the edge searching for the source of the noise. There hidden in the shadows stood several dark clothed figures, who appeared to have been dressed like ninja, with visible red footprints on their masks.
"Huh, so this is the Foot clan?" you murmured rising an eyebrow.
Your attention hadn't stayed on them for to long when four new silhouettes jumped from the previously broken window. Honestly, you were pretty surprised seeing four humanoid turtles wielding traditional Japanese weapons fighting with what happened to be also your enemies. What was even more shocking was one of them suddenly just teleporting behind the ninjas and slashing them with his sword, after which they tore apart like peace of paper.
'What are kappas doing here?' you started to wonder. Were yokai supposed to be in New York? Did your ancestors said anything about it before?
"Leo! Don't just jump in like that!" shouted the biggest one of them with spiky shell and red bandana.
"Don't you worry, hermano! I got this." the other answered him standing proudly, one hand holding his sword over his shoulder and the other resting on his hip.
Seconds later at least ten more ninjas appeared.
You rolled your eyes muttering about turtle's over-confidence.
"How much more of them are here?" asked the spotted turtle with orange bandana tied on his head. "I'm starting to get tired, man!"
"Our chances of winning are rapidly decreasing. At this rate, they will overpower us in approximately five minutes and twenty-"
"Oh, shut it, Donnie." Leo, as the other turtle referred to him before, harshly cut of the purple masked reptile wearing mismatched goggles. "Have more faith in us! Besides, you guys have me."
The rest groaned (you included).
The Foot clan didn't let them talk any longer, the ninjas jumping at them from every side. It seemed like their number was only getting bigger and bigger no matter how many of them the turtles already defeated. You could see them struggling with dodging their enemies attacks, not having the time to strike themselves.
You really should be looking for Hamato Yoshi. But you also couldn't just leave like that. And besides, maybe they knew something about his whereabouts?
Gracefully jumping down the fire escape attached to the side of the building you made your way to the bottom, white noble's finery with magatama design you wore swaying behind you. Landing on the head of one of the ninjas you pinned the paper creation to the ground swiftly tearing it apart.
"Woah!" the smallest turtle jumped back surprised at your appearance.
With a few quick movements, the next ninjas lost their heads, turning into thin sheets that floated in the air for a moment and fell to the ground. Your movements were agile and precise, easily breaking through layers of enemies, leaving them no time to react. Soon after, only the four reptiles were left standing before you, stunned.
The red-eared slider, you assumed by the crescent-like stripes over his eyes and yellow stripes on his upper arms and thighs, stepped forward.
"Wow." he breathed, then rised his voice realizing you may not have heard him. "That was, just- wow."
You furrowed your eyebrowe, which he probably took as a bad sign.
"I mean- you were, like, super cool, and-" Leo started tripping on his words.
The turtles behind him sheard a look.
"What my brother is tryin' to say," the one with red bandana approached you, placing his hand on the shorter reptile's shoulder. "we are grateful for your help!"
"You're welcome." you replied swiping the imaginary dust off of yourself.
He thought you were cool? You knew you are skilled, you trained for most of your life, your clan acknowledgwd your strength by sending you on this solo mission. You heard many things about yourself, but cool?
It left a weird warm feeling in you...
"Anyway, I'm Raph! And this is Leo, Donnie and Mikey." Raph said pointing he said pointing on the blue, purple and orange masked turtle in order.
"I'm y/n of the Otsutsuki clan."you straightened your posture, giving them a short nodd. " What are kappas doing in New York?"
"Kappas?" questioned Mikey tilting his head to the side.
The softshell turtle stepped ahead to stand beside him.
"Kappas, my dear brother, are a reptiloid kami with similarities to yōkai found in traditional Japanese folklore. They tend to look like turtles." he then turned his head toward you. "But, no, we are not kappas. We are actually mutants."
'Mutants?'
Suddenly blue bandana covered head butted itself into your view. You tensed at the proximity, sly smirk appearing on the reptile's face.
"And answering to your question, we just were being awesome. Or, well, at least I know I was being awesome. Still am." Leo tried to lean by his hand beside you but failed miserably by missing the brick wall and almost falling on his face.
Raph, who stood behind him, facepalmed.
"Please, don't listen to my moron twin." Donnie rolled his eyes.
The turtle yelled something about not being a moron but you only shook your head. Deciding it's the best time to ask about the Hamato clan member, you spoke up again.
"Do any of you know someone named Hamato Yoshi?" you glanced at their faces, they seemed shocked for some reason.
When you were about to explain your situation, Leo answered excited.
It's your lucky day, amigo! I just know exactly where he is now!" not giving you the time to answer, the turtle wrapped his arm around yours and tugged you further into the alley, where the only noticeable thing was a sewer manhole.
"Hey, wha-?!" your face started to feel hot for an unknown for you reason.
The rest of his brothers stood still looking as the red-eared slider lifted the metal hatch and literally threw you inside, jumping right after.
"Was it some kind of 'love at first sight' or something?"
"Maybe. And Nardo is gonna make a total fool out of himself before her while trying to impress her."
Tumblr media
"Yeah, probably."
