#oh and ALSO every ninja turtle

[eos-lies-to-you]

Lmao I'm stealing this idea.

Big Mama must have lost some serious standing in the yokai underworld because it’s gotten apparent that she keeps being beaten by a small group of teenagers and the occasional rat man, and when it’s not them then she’s taking L’s from her own schemes working against her.

And in the ensuing power vacuum, the Hamatos accidentally become the most feared crime family known to all the big bads of the Hidden City.

After all, they’ve publicly outplayed Big Mama multiple times, a couple of them have taken out the heads of two of the most well known criminal organizations, one took out Heinous Green, two are responsible for the destruction of Witch Town, they have ties to both the infamous Baron Draxum and Captain Piel, they won the Doom Dome death race, they’re Battle Nexus Champions, they’ve displayed insane feats of power and defeated impossibly strong enemies, most of them have been to jail, and they regularly mingle with humans.

You can just imagine the notoriety they’d accumulate from word of mouth alone.

hiiii, i have a request. So its a Percy x reader where reader and Percy meet up at the beach to go on a little date, but Percy arrived early and waits but starts to draw readere initial in the sand like a love sick puppy (and maybe starts talking about her to some sea creature) and then she comes and sees percy and just smiles and realized yup that's the love of my life:)

Thank you beforehand!!!!

that's so cute!!

Yes, Percy knows the date wasn't planned till after like 10 to 20 minutes. But what's wrong with being early to make sure everything is perfect?

After many years, Percy Jackson, the most oblivious demigod of all time finally got the courage to ask you on a date.

He hadn't expect you to call him out as an idiot for taking so long to ask that question.

But hey! At least you didn't judo-flip him. And he got a date on the beach out of it, too!

After Percy had set everything up, he was sitting on the picnic blanket, waiting for you to arrive. He was so happy, like he's litteraly a lovesick idiot.

So lovesick he found himself drawing your intial in the sand with a cute smile on his face.

But when he heard a sound and looked up, he didn't see anyone. When he looked back at the sand and the intial of the most beautiful name he'd ever heard, he saw a turltle.

"Ohh. Hey little guy! What's your name?"

He frowned as he heard the turtle answer. "No name yet? Well then I'll give you one!" He started thinking.

"Ooh! How about Leo- No, wait, not Leonardo. I know a boy named Leo. He's pretty cool, but you deserve the best ninja turtle name out there. Michelangelo." He decided.

"Yeah he's totally my favorite." He then said as he watched the turtle crawl towards the pizza he had set on the blanket.

"Woah there buddy. I know turtles love pizza. So do I. But that pizza is reserved for a special lady."

Percy felt a smile growing on his lips as the turtle spoke to him again. "Yeah.. I have a date with this amazing girl. It's our first one. I still can't believe she said yes."

The son of Poseidon hadn't even noticed a sea star coming up to him. "Oh, another friend! What's your name? Also none. Mhmm.." The boy started thinking of a name again.

"Patrick. You're definitely a Patrick." He nodded.

"Wait? About my date? You heard that?" He asked the sea star as the turle crawled atop of him.

A giddy smile rested on his lips at the thought of you. "Her name is Y/n." He looked at the turtle once he heard his voice.

"I know Mickey, that's a beautiful name. But not as beautiful as she herself." Once the star asked about you, Percy knew there was no way back.

So now he found himself talking to at least 18 sea animals. Some of them were in the sea, but you could still see them, others were sitting right infront of Percy.

And Michelangelo, of course, sat in Percy's palm.

Gods did Percy feel like a disney princess.

"Yes, Flounder, she took all of them out. Singelhandedly." Percy confirmed to the fish at the edge of the sea.

"Squidward! Language!" He said to the octopus. "But yeah she's a fucking badass." He silently agreed, but every creature heard it.

Percy turned to the other fish. "Nemo. What did I tell you? She's not going to marry you. I will be her future husband, okay?"

"Don't worry, Alberto. We'll do two weddings. One in land and one in the sea. You can all be there, I'm sure she'll love you guys!"

He then looked at the crab. "Yes Sebastian. Y/n is the most beautiful, gorgeous girl you'll ever see! She's breathtaking! Divine! Aphrodite loosk like shit next to her! I don't understand how she's not full goddess, but I can totally see her godly half."

"Why thank you, you don't look too bad yourself."

Percy froze at the sound of that voice. The voice he'd recognize anywhere. He gulped and turned around to see you in all your glory.

"Y/-Y/n." He stammered.

When he heard the voice you couldn't hear, he leaned in closer to Michelangelo on his hand.

"Yes Mickey, I told you she's breathtaking." He wishpered to the turtle, agreeing to what the turtle said about your appearence.

Oh yeah, this boy is totally your endgame.

You stiffled a giggle as you walked over to him.

It was only then that Percy let his eyes rank over your body, taking in your outfit, your hair, your eyes, everything about you.

"You look–" "I heard you the first sixteen times, Percy." You said as you sat down next to him.

You tilted your head, lookign at the sand. "Is that my name?" By now, the intial had turned into your full name with hearts and stars around them.

Percy had done that while he rambled on about you to his new sea friends.

"No? It's your dyslexia who's fooling you." Percy lied. "I can read, Percy." You state.

He stayed quiet for a bit, before his head turned back to look at you again.

"I uh.. I got us pizza! Well actually Connor traveled to new york and get me some for us. He wanted to go to Italy first, I don't really know why the plans changed." Percy said, adjusting the two boxes of pizza.

"And uh.. I got us some cola, too. Don't tell Mr. D that I stole the from him though.. Uhm.. And I got some other snacks if you–"

"It's perfect Percy. Thank you." You assure him, taking his hand in yours.

The son of Poseidon fel the heat rise up to his cheeks, and you didn't hear it, but the animals were all 'ooh-ing' and 'aah-ing'.

"Now back to the whole 'talking about me to some animals' topic. You said you wanna marry me." You recalled with a smile.

Percy froze, he had no idea what to do.

"Uhm.. Well- I didn't- I mean we're still young, a-and we're not even an actual couple so.." His voice trailed of, noticing how stupid he sounded.

You bit your lip. "If you ask me we might just be one."

Did you just say that?

Like actually?

"Uhm.. Y/n.. would you want to be my girlfrie– Wait. You're not messing with me, right??" Percy asked you. "I'm not, Seaweedbrain."

Percy shot a look at the octopus. "Shut up squidward! Only Y/n gets to call me that!"

And you giggled. "You're cute, Percy Jackson. And yes, I would like to be your girlfriend." You smile again.

His heart was racing faster than a black marlin can swim. "That–That's cool–yeah.. cool." He tried to play it off, but even the animals weren't buying it.

Then Percy's eyes randomly widened. "No, we're not gonna do that!" Percy shot back at Patrick. "What'd they say?" You ask him. "He said. that we should kiss."

You frown at that. "And you're not gonna listen to him? C'mon Perce, he's a star." You say to him.

The sea anmilas were probably encouraging him cause he looked around at them.

Then finally, he scooted closer to you. "Is this okay with you?" He asks you, tone soft. You nod. "Yeah."

And so his lips found yours in a soft, loving, sea-animal-proof kiss.

The animals cheered, but it honestly sounded like a ton of gibberish to you, especially the sound that came from the dolphin who's name you did not know.

It didn't matter though, cause Percy Jackson was kissing you.

When you pulled away, he smiled. "Was that okay?" You nod again. "More than okay."

This time, you both blushed.

"So..?"

"Yes Percy. They're invited to the wedding."

And the animals cheered again.

Top 23 of 2023

Have you been aching to get your hot little hands on 52 weeks of data around original posts, likes, reblogs, and searches, all weighted and ranked and tied up into categories with a nice little bow on top? Well, today’s your day! It should come as no surprise that Artists on Tumblr reign supreme: from stunning traditional art, jaw-dropping digital art, fanart, sculptures, textile art—you name it, basically—this year’s list shows that Tumblr truly is the home for art and artists. Thank you, Artists on Tumblr, for enriching our dashboards day after day. 

Rounding out the top three, we have two iconic shows: Good Omens is live-action, and The Owl House is animated, but both have a heck of a love story at their core. The second season of Good Omens blessed us with not one but two ineffably exquisite ships, while the final season of The Owl House broke and then healed fans’ hearts in equal measure. Thanks, @danaterrace! Actually, come to think of it, the Good Omens finale kinda did the same in reverse. Thanks to you, too, @neil-gaiman! We can’t wait for season 3. 

Speaking of heartbreak and healing, Our Flag Means Death’s second season offered both in droves. The entire cast gave stellar performances, and fans couldn’t have been happier to see the kinds of representation the show displayed. Last year’s #1 topic, Stranger Things, may have dropped a bit, but trust us, you wouldn’t know it from the amount of meta, fanart, and fics in the tag. And did you hear about the live-action adaptations of both The Last of Us and One Piece? They were a preeeetty big deal this year, too. Check ‘em out if you haven’t yet (lol, of course you have). And we’d be remiss not to mention the hugely dedicated fans, fanartists, and fic writers devoting their time to all things Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Y’all deserve a little pizza, as a treat.

2023 was also a year for blockbuster movies, which of course hasn’t escaped anybody’s notice here on Tumblr. Barbie smashed box offices worldwide and left us reeling with every re-watch. How can one describe Greta Gerwig’s pink-filled opus? It certainly is one of the movies of all time. Meanwhile, with its incredible animation and soundtrack, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduced us to a whole new multiverse of Spider-People, opening the portal to a veritable flood of incredible OCs. And then, of course, we got a fresh perspective on an old classic when cinephiles introduced Martin Scorscese’s cinematic masterpiece, Goncharov (1973), to a new generation of film aficionados who resoundingly agree that it is, in fact, the greatest mafia movie ever made. We’re so glad this underrated film finally got the acclaim it has long deserved.

In the realms of gaming and tech, the long-anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3 has basically become everyone’s new favorite D&D/dating sim combination. Of course, the Pokémon franchise, games, shows, and Hatsune Miku collabs remain perennial favorites. Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, sorry, we mean of course X, made waves across the internet. Similarly, the Reddit blackout drove Redditors to new venues, and Tumblr users welcomed the folks from r/196 with open arms—we’re huge fans of your memes, y’all, and you fit right in. Welcome, we’re glad you enjoy the chaos. Here’s a fun fact: if we included post metadata in Year in Review rankings, #polls, introduced in January of 2023, would have been the #5 topic on Tumblr this year. Phenomenal. 

And, oh right. Taylor Swift had kind of a big year, what with the albums, the epic global tour, and the movie and stuff. Fantastic work, @taylorswift, the Swifties on Tumblr thank you for everything.

This is Tumblr’s Year in Review.

Girl Dad or Boy Dad? Breaking Down the Bayverse Turtle Dad Vibes

I’ve been kinda wanting to post something like this for a while, so here it is!

What do you think - agree or not?

Leonardo – Boy Dad

•Leo would absolutely thrive as a boy dad. There’s something deeply fulfilling to him about raising a son who he can teach discipline, honor, and the art of being a protector.

•His son would probably be a mini-Leo - all serious stares, polite manners, and big heart behind a tough front.

•That being said, Leo would try not to pressure his son to be a little ninja, but let’s be real-he’s 100% training him from the time he can walk. “Just for defense,” he insists.

•They meditate together in the mornings, do push-ups at night, and Leo lowkey tears up when his son starts quoting bushido code back to him.

•He’d be a little strict, but not unloving - he wants his son to grow up with strength and wisdom, not fear.

•But catch him sneaking into his son’s room to tuck him in and whisper “You make me proud every day” when he thinks the kid is asleep.

Raphael – Girl Dad (but thinks he’s a Boy Dad)

•Why Girl Dad? Raph swears he wanted sons to roughhouse with - but the moment he holds his baby girl, he’s toast.

•She’s got him wrapped around her little finger by the time she can coo, and everyone makes fun of him for it. He pretends to hate it but secretly loves it.

•Turns into a giant teddy bear with her. She’ll be riding on his shoulders, wearing his bandana like a cape, calling him her “hero” while he tries not to cry.

•Super overprotective - teaches her how to punch by the age of three and threatens to “accidentally” throw her boyfriend off a rooftop when she’s sixteen.

•Has tea parties wearing a tutu. Don’t ask. Donnie has pictures.

Donatello - Girl Dad

•Something about raising a daughter taps into the most protective, tender side of Donnie.

•He’d be absolutely smitten with her - not in a coddling way, but in the “you are the most brilliant creature in the universe and I will move mountains to see you smile” way.

•He teaches her tech skills from the time she can hold a screwdriver. They build LEGO robots together and wear matching goggles while tinkering in his lab.

•He constantly hypes her up: “You are smarter than any boy I know - including me, and that’s saying something.”

•He builds her gadgets like a personal AI tutor, anti-bully backpack sensors, or a voice-activated lamp that responds to her lullaby singing voice.

•And when she’s older and dating? Oh boy. You best believe he’s scanning that poor soul’s entire digital footprint and running a background check.

Michelangelo – Boy Dad

•Why Boy Dad? Mikey’s energy matches his son’s. Chaos, fun, and unconditional love - that’s their whole vibe.

•They’re best friends from day one. Matching hoodies, matching skateboards, matching pizzas. If Mikey’s doing it, his kid is too.

•Teaches his son to express his feelings, be creative, and embrace his weirdness. Encourages art, music, skateboarding, and laughing until your stomach hurts.

•Also the dad who lets his son draw on the walls, sneak an extra cookie, and stay up to watch movies… but he makes sure to tuck him in afterward with a lullaby.

•Cries at every “dad and son” moment - first time he says “I love you,” first lost tooth, first time they make pizza together.

Raph-edging and begging

Authors note: Sorry I got a request for this and then accidentally deleted this so whoops sorry. Also this is for one of my favorites friends who has been waiting very patiently for this hope u enjoy queen.

Also this is rottmnt raph in mind- and the context is him loosing not nyt November

Warnings: Smut, edging, overstimulation, begging, praise, sub raph, no pronouns but fem genitals reader, domreader, handjobs, lingering, biblically accurate turtle anatomy, thats about it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Y/n." The rough gravel of Raph's voice carries through the living room of your apartment. You jump a little in shock but catch your breath as you turn to look at your boyfriend standing in the door frame. Raph wasn't going to come over today, said something about being busy with his brothers.

You hadn't even heard him come in, Raph and his brothers ninja abilities continued to suprise you. "Oh hey babe!" The happiness in your voice falls basically unheard to the turtle. "Raph?" You call out to your boyfriend as he walks across the room towards you.

The terrapin ignores you and when he reaches you he takes you in his arms, lifting you up and cuddling his face into the crook of your neck. You swear you can hear him sniffing you, letting your sent wrap around him. "I missed you." Is all he says in a low deep tone. The words dripping with love and something more desperate.

"We saw eachother yesterday Raph." Your voice turns into a laugh as you wrap your arms as best you can around him, they loosly lay atop his shoulders. "But... I still missed you." The neediness in his tone ever so evident. "Yeah?" The question is rhetorical but the sultry tone still makes Raph let out a heavy breath.

"How'd you miss me hun?" You bring out the voice you know makes Raph weak. "I-" He cuts himself off, too embarrassed- or unsure - to say what he wants. Raph sets you down gently, his large calloused hands still caressing your body. "Use your words Raph."

The terrapin sucks in air quickly, he knows it's an order,  your words firm but soft. "Raph was feeling needy and...", "Horny?" You finish for him. Your boyfriend nods his head almost ashamed, eyes downcast. "You know what month it is baby, can't be loosing the challenge right?"

Of course he knew, how could he not? Everytime his thoughts went dirty they were immediately shot down by the memory of you telling him you'd like him to try no nut November out. "I know just, what if I don't loose the challenge? But we still did..stuff." Raph attempts to reason with.

You think for a second before responding, "you want to edge yourself? You think you can't handle it?" Before even thinking about it he nods his head quickly. "Thought I said to use your words?" Raph quickly corrects himself, "Yes I do."

That leads to Raph resting against your head board as you strip. "How do you want to do this hunny?" Your silky sweet tone makes him flustered, such nice words in such a dirty situation. "I- Idon't know what I can take." He admits shyly.

"Want to start with just my hand?" Raph nods along, even just the thought of a hand on him makes his tail twitch in excitement. "Yes please." Quickly he answers with his words knowing you'd reprimand him if he didn't.

"Good boy." Without even sparing a glance to his face you praise him. Raph watches you climb onto bed and atop him, barley able to get your legs around his legs. You nails rake down his plastron gently untill you get to his shorts, he shudders at the feeling of your fingers tugging them down.

With a long pull you fully take off his shorts, throwing them somewhere in the room. One hand gently pet's Raphs thigh, while the other rubs up and down on the slick slit in his tail. Raph shudders at the feeling his body tensing every time you push into him.

"So wet already Raph, we haven't even started." You exclaim when your fingers slide through the tight slit with ease. Raph chocked on the moan riding in his throat, sensitive from almost a month of nothing. "You're so pent up huh, going to let me make you feel good?" There's a challenge in your tone that contradicts how soft it sounds on your lips.

"Yes- please. Want it so bad." His voice trails into a whimper at the feeling of your fingers starting to pump in and out of him. His large body seemed to fold on itself at the feeling, every drag of your digits furthered the arousal pooling in his stomach.

It didn't take long for you to feel something prod at the tips of your fingers. Everytime you grazed  it Raph's moans heightened in pitch. "You ok there big boy?" The teasing tone didn't seem to reach his ears all the terrapin could do was nod. "Raph's going to drop."

Those four words carried a beg with them, it wasn't enough though. Without stopping the fast pumping of your fingers you watch confusion flood Raphs features. "Cant- fuck can't drop if you keep-"

"I know hunny, gotta beg for it if you really want to." The moan Raph let out was whiney and desperate, for a few seconds after you spoke he just shook from the pleasure of it all. When your fingers stopped their movements entirely Raphs eyes sprung open, suddenly alert.

You kept them inside though, keeping his painfully hard dick inside. "Shit y/n wanna drop please can't take it. Wanna be good for you! Can't be good like this please please ple-" You abruptly pull your fingers from his tail, normally Raph would be embarrassed from the slick wet sound his dick makes when he drops but the intense wave of pleasure just makes his mind go blank.

Your hand is ready to wrap around the base tightly stopping him from coming. His body shakes slightly untill he comes back to it, look down to your hand. Noticing his look of confusion you say "Thought you didn't want to come? Wanted to win the challenge?"

Raph had completely forgotten about no nut november, more focused on how your hand made him feel. "I don't care I just want-" Your hand stops its movement entirely, it stayed squeezing the base. A wave of panicked shock washes over Raphs face.

"Wait no please-!" You take at him shaking your head, the hand not on his cock goes to hold his face. "I know baby, I know. But I thought you wanted to be good, and win?" The terrapin shakes him head with a whine, "I do! It just hurts. Need to come so bad." With mock sympathy you nod along with his words.

"If you come now you can't fuck me, isn't that what you want?" Raphs eyes are watery but he happily nods, "Yes please y/n, want you so bad." You can feel your underwear get damp from the desperate words from your boyfriend.

Without another word you take your hands completely off of Raph, he let's out a displeased whine at that, and slip them into your pants. You pull off your pants and underwear all at once, throwing them off to somewhere near your bed. Raphs hands instinctively reach for your waist and thighs.

He lightly squeeze your plush thighs, his thumbs rubbing circles where they lay. He watches as you take off your shirt, revealing your bare chest to him. A warm hand raises to rub up and down your sides in admiration.

His breath hitches when he feels your hand go to his cock unexpectedly. "Gotta prep me hunny, can you do that for me?" His eyes locked on yours and full of desire he nods quickly. One of Raphs large hands reaches to spread open your legs on his lap.

He takes one if his thick digits to your wet entrance, he rubs up and down before slowly pushing inside. You moan at the feeling of his finger curling inside you. "Feels good Raph." You moan out after a few more minutes of him prepping you.

Out the corner of your eye you see him take his other hand down towards his leaking dick between his legs. "Did I tell you you could touch yourself?" Raph looks back to your eyes, he takes a minute to collect himself before retracting his hand while shaking his head.

You can see him contain a whine as he sucks in a shaky breath of air. "All ready for you honey." A look of relief washes over the terrapin face. "You going to help me sweetheart?" You ask maneuvering to sit on his lap.

"Yes please." Ever so polite, he takes his large hands and moves them to your waist. He gently massages the plush skin there, his thumbs rubbing back and forth on the dips in your hips.

You take his pulsing length in your hand, the tip covered in precum attempts to push its way in. "Remember, no coming right Raph?" Your boyfriend has to hold back a groan in annoance,  too desperate to be patient.

But hes good so he nods and "Yes Raph knows just please I cant do this anymore." You chuckle, almost wanting to reprimand him for being so impatient but let it slide. Instead you slowly push your hips downwards, inching your way down his ccock.

Raphs moan of relief is breathy and content. It takes a minute for you to fully take all of him, no matter the stretching or how many times you do this.

When you get as far down as you can, basically at the base, Raph falls forward a bit. Eyes trained on where you two meet. "Move. Please- need it so bad." His forehead rests on your shoulder, although hes careful not to hurt you with the spikes on his back.

"Yeah? Wanna tell me how bad you need it?" Your tone is teasing, almost playful but with the way your hips slowly start moving up again Raph takes them as a command. "Dont know why Raph agreed to do this" a pause when he feels your pace speed up.

"Thought it'd be easy?" You prompt him, words a bit shaky with each motion of your hips. The grip he has on your waist tightens. "Fuck- yes never want it this bad. Only when Raphs in heat he feels like this."

"Poor baby's never been desperate before." You say it aloud but it's mostly to yourself. Raph nods his head with a whine and squeeze of his hands. The constant red hot pleasure shooting through him with every thirst felt almost unbearable.

From not touching himself in so long it felt almost overstimulating. He bent his legs and twisted his torso in attempt to escape the over whelming feeling. But the way his hips started thrusting upwards into you defied how the rest of him acted.

He was careful of the size difference between you two but that didnt stop the buzzing in him telling him he needed more. It was like a punch to the gut the way his hips rutted upwards into you. "Feels so good- need it so bad." He was mumbling to himself with a slurred voice.

"Raph, thought we agreed no coming" the composure in your tone quickly fading with each thrust of yours and his hips. The terrapin quickly opens his eyes- though he doesn't remember when he closed them- in panic.

"No! No Raph needs it, needs to come." He slightly leans back up from where he was laying down prior to rub his face in your neck. His tounge prods out along with his teeth- always so careful not to bite too hard but he cant deny he likes to leave the marks.

"Hunny you want to lose?" You dont think he quite hears you but nods anyway against your shoulder anyway. Your take his head in your hands, pushing him away from the growing marks, and look him the eyes. You take a minute to breathe and its like he can sense what you were going to say.

"Dont care anymore I just i need it- want it so bad. Fuck- want you so bad!" With every hard thrust with each words brings you closer to that burning heat building in your stomach. "So close please let Raph come."

The words come out with almost a sob of tears from the overwhelming pleasure with no where to go. All it takes is you saying "Yes Raph, come for me." For the terrapin to fall over the edge. The pleasure is everywhere and its burning hot.

Raph curls himself inwards, legs pushing on your back towards his plastron and hands keeping you at the base of his pulsing cock, his hot cum flowing out his tip. The feeling makes you come along with him, your hand finding his shoudler for support.

As you come down from your high you can hear Raphs heavy breathing, more so you can feel it hitting your body. After a moment of silence you speak, "Raph, hunny, you ok?" He nods slowly before humming.

"Are you ok?" That makes you smile sweetly, gently kissing the sides and top of his face. "Yeah I am thank you sweetie." Raph slowly untangled himself from you letting, his body relax out.

You lift yourself up and off of him as his spent dick retreats back into his tail. "Want to run a bath?" Raphs eyes seem foggy but he nods, his large calloused hands continue to gently run up and down your body.

"Ok big guy." You chuckle heartedly, your shaky legs holding you up as you walk to the bathroom that you specifically like because it has one of those large pool like tubs that can fit your terrapin boyfriend.

As you start to run the water you hear raoh find his way to the bathroom and come up behind you. His muscular arms wrapping around your smaller form. He mumbled something you couldn't hear, "What was that Raph?" You question.

"Sorry I failed the challenge." He said slightly louder, resting his head atop yours. Your heart clenched a little at how sad he sounded. "Oh hunny its ok, if im being honest I dont care that much about it. Just wanted to know how long you'd last."

He sighed in what you assumed to be relief. The two of you stayed in content silence together, the only sound was the rushing water steadily filling the large tub.

When it finally became full you turned the water off and let raph slip into the water first, following close behind. The warm water soothed the two of into a blissful state of comfort.

[stealthetrees]

I probably shouldn’t but I FUCKING love comparing different iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s so fun. It’s all technically the same genre but the characters themselves are experienceing different genres.

IDW comics April O’Neil is like “hello I am scientist :) oh no ninjas have stolen the baby turtles :(“ homegirl would join a union for the principle and still work unpaid overtime. When she says she want a normal day, she means a regularly scheduled bank holiday before getting back on the crazy train she bought a ticket for.

2012 April is not here by choice “help I’m being kidnapped” bestie got dragged into the narrative kicking a screaming. When she says she want a normal day she wants her family safe and unmutated and not experiencing massive amounts of trauma.

Rise April bust in like Leroy Jenkins and is here to stay “talk shit get hit” she’s been here since she was 8 and is part of the fam in every way but legal. She’s also got superpowers. When she says she wants a normal day she means an afternoon out with a human friend, which is statistically impossible.

A New World: part 3

Bayverse!Leonardo x reader

Part 1 Part 2 / Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

A/N: To be honest, I’ve no idea how I would react to having my favorite ninja turtle standing in my living room. I would probably think I was crazy and call my psychiatrist for another appointment.

Leo is 25, reader is 22 - 23.

Warnings: None so far💙

“What”, was the only thing Leo could say, in utter confusion. Yet it didn’t seem like the girl in the doorway registered that either. Instead she stepped back with one foot, looked at him up and down with a suspicious look and narrow eyes, eyebrows frowning even further than before, if that even was possible. Then she stepped forward again, hesitating for a moment before leaning forwards with her arm stretched, before quickly poking his arm with her pointy finger, and then just as quickly retreating back to where she was standing just a moment ago. Leo, seemingly shocked by the fact that she had poked him, also retreated backwards. He did not know what to think of the situation. Even he, a big green mutant turtle, who had fought ninja clans and aliens, did not know how to react to the human girl's behavior.

“Omg you’re in my house”, (Y/N) breathed out, seemingly still talking to herself. “You’re real and you’re in my house”.

“And you know my name”, Leo said, almost talking to himself too.

“You’re in my house”, (Y/N) said once again, as her shock turned to bewilderment. “Leonardo is in my house”, she repeated once again, as she started to sound confused. “Leonardo is in my house?”, she said to herself, almost as if it was a question, before suddenly snapping back to reality, taking yet another dubbel look at the mutant. Leo found this whole ordeal very strange. When humans meet him they would usually scream and run away, yelling something about monsters. One had even called him the devil and held a cross up in front of him. Yet Leo had never found himself being the scared one in such a situation. Usually he would just be mildly irritated, over how loud they would scream, and how it would make his ears hurt. But at that moment he was scared, in a way he hasn't been in a very long time.

“Why are you in my house?”, she finally asked.

“How do you know my name?”, he asked, matching her expression.

“Ay, you’re in my house, so you answer my questions first”, (Y/N) said, slightly irritated.

“I don’t even know how I got here”, Leo said, matching her irritation.

“Last time I checked, big mutant turtles didn’t just pop out of the blue”, she said loudly, before suddenly realizing. “Oh wait, yes they do. Especially you. That’s what ninjas do”.

Leo just nodded slowly, at this point absolutely terrorfied.

“You’re scaring me”, he just said.

(Y/N) looked at him in shock. “Really? Me scaring you? But how?! You're Leonardo. The fearless leader in blue, who does everything to get his ninjas through. Katana wielding with a strong focus and fantastic concentration. Nothing scares you!”

“Okay! You win!”, Leo finally yelled out. “I’ll do anything you say, just please stop! You’re scaring me!”

(Y/N) just stood there, staring at the blue turtle, utterly confused. She had never seen him do anything like that before. In every single version of Leonardo, the fearless leader in blue, you had never seen him scream out that he was scared. He would never show that he was scared, and if he did, he would somehow turn it into something he could use in battle. Fuel for his fighting in a way anger just wouldn’t be able to do.

(Y/N) tilted her head slightly, staring confused at the large terrapin. “How am I scaring you?”

“You’re kidding me, right?”, Leo said, just as confused as her. (Y/N) shook her head no. Leo almost laughed in disbelief. “You know my name, you know about my katanas and you know… you know a lot about me! But I’ve no idea who in the shell you are!”

“You actually say shell”, (Y/N) giggled, only to be met by a very disapproving face by Leo. “Right, sorry”.

“How do you know so much about me?”, he finally asked.

(Y/N) didn’t answer him. It took her a second to realize that Leo in fact had no idea where he was. Nothing the way the TMNT universe worked, (Y/N) was starting to have an idea of what was going on.

“You have no idea how you got here, or where you are, do you?”

Leonardo huffed, obviously irritated by her change of subject. After a moment of looking irritated in the famous Leonardo way, he decided to finally answer.

“No, I’ve no idea. In one moment I’m being flung across New York’s skyline, and in the next I’m in your living room. I know it sounds strange, but I promise it’s the truth!”

“Yeah, knowing who you are, I believe you’re telling the truth”.

“Great! Absolutely fantastic!”, Leo said in the most sarcastic tone (Y/N) had heard in a long time. Knowing it was the bayverse Leonardo standing in front of her, she was surprised to hear something that sounded so much like Rise Leo. “Now, will you please tell me how you know me?”

(Y/N) shifted from one foot to another, thinking of the best way to tell him. She ended up giving him an awkward smile while fiddling with her fingers.

“Does different dimensions say anything to you?”

Leo’s head sank a level closer to her level. “What?”

“This is going to sound really strange, and probably freak you out a little more. You know, like how Krang is from another dimension from you and your brothers”. Leo blinked, slowly nodding. “Yeah, you’re in a different dimension”.

Leo blinked at (Y/N) for a moment. “Okay? I take it that there’s more to it than that?”

“Yeah, for the next part you probably wanna sit down”.

(Y/N) grabbed the mutant by the arm, before leading him to the exact same sofa he had found himself in just a few moments ago. He sat down, just as uneasy he had been throughout his time in her apartment. Leo watched the (h/c) girl as she went to her DVD collection, stored under her TV, mindlessly fidgeting with bandages around his hands. Her wondered if he should ask her what she was doing. Maybe even tell her that now was not the time to watch a movie. But instead he kept quiet.

(Y/N) found her two Bayverse movies. She held them in her hands for a moment before sighing, remembering the tattoo on her right deltoid. Well, here goes nothing.

(Y/N) walked to Leo, handing him the two movies. Confused, he took them in his green hands, before finally taking a look at the covers. His heart almost stopped for a second. He was staring at himself and his brothers. April, Casey, even Bebop and Rocksteady. He didn’t say a word. His tongue wasn’t working and his mind had gone blank. The look of confusion in Leo’s eyes seemed to be enough. So caught up in staring at the DVDs in his hand, that he didn’t even notice (Y/N)’s hand falling from her t-shirt sleeve. It if wasn’t for the sound of (Y/N)’s voice, Leo would probably have been sitting like that for hours.

“I kid you not, on my way home I was thinking about watching them”.

Leo didn’t say a thing but continued to stare at her and the movies in her hands. At one point he finally decided to turn them over to read the back of them.

"Michael Bay!”

“Haha yeah, I knew you probably would like that”.

“So”, Leo said, thinking for a moment before continuing. “In this dimension, me and my brothers are movie actors?”

(Y/N) blinked at the turtle. “Movie actor? No, not at all”.

She went back to her DVD collection and pulled out Turtles Forever, Batman VS TMNT, and her collection of the 2003 TMNT and 1987 TMNT, before placing them on the sofa table, right in front of the perplexed terrapin. While he looked at one DVD after another, (Y/N) went to her bookshelf and took out her edition of TMNT IDW, before handing that to Leo.

“These are not the original. The first comic book was published back in 1984. That one is part of a new version of the story that has been going since 2011”, (Y/N) said as Leo started flipping through the pages. “Other than the comics, there are several TV series. The first one from 1987. That one was and is extremely popular, even being used for merchandise today. Several 90’s movies, and another TV show in 2003. That was how I heard about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the first time. A movie in 2007, then a show on Nickelodeon in 2012, and yet another in 2018. Not to forget the Michael Bay movies from 2014 and 2016. Actually while we’re speaking right now, people are waiting for Seth Rogans new TMNT movie. And those are just the ones I remember right now”.

Leo slumped further back in the sofa. At least as far back his shell would allow him to. He rubbed his tired eyes with a deep breath.

“A different dimension”, he whispered, just loud enough for (Y/N) to hear. “I’m very far from home”.

“Ah!”, (Y/N) quickly said. “That’s a Spiderman movie title. Don’t get them mixed up”.

Leo continued to stare at the girl in bewilderment. He could already tell that would be just as irritating as his brothers could be. And with that thought, he remembered his brothers. His three little brothers, left confused back in his own dimension, probably not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

(Y/N) noticed the change in Leo’s mood, before squatting down in front of him. Not that she needed to. Even if she sat down on the sofa table, he would still be taller than her. (Y/N) felt bad for him. She didn’t even have to ask to know what he was thinking about. It was written all over his face. (Y/N) knew it wouldn’t fix any of his problems, but it would maybe help him rest a little.

“Hey”, she said, putting a comforting hand on his knee. “What would you say to some pizza?”

[kilojulietsierra]

The first time Garcia goes to Sophie’s class room she is APPALLED at state of the first aid kit. She immediately goes out and gets every sort of bandage and colorful Band-Aid because “kids are little drunk people but should have fun bandaids”

She eventually makes her a little go bag like a Jack and Sam have.

But when Garcia has a day off and is invited to Sophie’s class for a show and tell, Garcia gets even more warm fuzzies like ‘I can see us having a family’

—

P.S. Jack would make a stupid comment to Emory like “ I need you to find a man soon, it’s starting to look like you all are sister wives” 

Bro, I had the same exact thought with the sister wives thing 🤣 get out of my head! But also thank you so much for this, it’s adorable! 🥰 💚

~~~~

- Sophie had got the wild hair to rearrange her classroom over the long weekend and Yolanda was happy to help.

- “Oh my god the chairs are so tiny!” Yolanda went straight to the kidney bean shaped table and sat in one of the chairs laughing hysterically

- It’s a little weird for Sophie, In the best way, to see her girlfriend who spent her workdays with her hands literally inside people, covered in blood, move through her brightly colored and eclectic preschool classroom. Stapling up colorful paper and hanging up the bubble shaped letters and glitter covered projects.

- “Motherfucker” Sophie laughed because yeah, there she is lol “do you have bandaids somewhere? Hate to bleed on Santa Clause”

- When Yolanda picked up the dingy white, plastic case she scowled at it. Like it might give her tetanus. “What’s this.” “First aid kit. Aren’t you supposed to be a doctor” “Sophie, this thing is older than I am” Yolanda opens the one remaining latch, “it might be older than abbot”

- That night Garcia gets on Amazon and shops around but she doesn’t find what she’s really looking for. So, she decides to take matters into her own hands.

- Is it a toolbox? Yes? But it’s practical and she orders a literal shit ton of doctor themed stickers for the kids to decorate it.

- Does it actually have everything Sophie could ever possibly need in it? Absofuckinglutely. Does she text abbot with a little twist in her stomach to ask what kind of tourniquet to buy that fits children? Yes. Does he respond with a link right away? Of course he does.

- Does she spend the next half hour adding every box of colorful, sparkly, themed bandaids she can to cheer herself up? Also yes. Captain America, SpongeBob, Batman, bluey, strawberry shortcake, Care Bears, paw patrol, hot wheels, camo, Pink camo, rainbows, teenage mutant ninja turtles and ghostbusters. Some characters she doesn’t even recognize but they seem popular so she adds them too.

- Sophie tears up a little bit when she gives it to her which kind of scares the shit out of Yolanda. Sophie just laughs, “good tears babe, good tears” and pulls her into a hug.

- She gets a picture the next Monday of the results of a dozen 4 year olds let loose with stickers and free will. The medical kit is COVERED in little stethoscopes and red crosses, smiley faces and painful faces, ekg lines, ambulances, wheelchairs and crutches, all of it.

- Garcia also decides to put together a little go bag. Just in case. The bag itself (a LV Montsouris) may cost more than all of the gear in it but she justifies it because she got it slightly used.

- Sophie is too scared to just leave it in her car though, after a weekend of arguing about how much it cost to begin with, so they compromise. (Look at them go!) they put the fear in a regular old backpack that does stay in her car, She keeps the bag and uses it for work, which is still scary with all the little kid fingers, but Yolanda insists they’re made to be used. It still has a small first aid pouch inside put together by Garcia of course.

- Emery nearly chokes on her cafeteria salad when she finds out Yolanda dropped $3k on a bag for a girlfriend she’s had for like two months. Yolanda just shrugs and sips her water, “so?”

- Emery likes to take the overnight on call for the overtime. She occasionally spends more time in the ER than she does on the surgery floor because she gets bored.

- She’s currently sitting in one of empty chairs behind the nurses station while Jack stares at the board. “So you don’t think this is concerning?” Jack scratches his eyebrow “I don’t know, she’s a grown up, she can do what she wants.” “Two months Jack. Two months” he turns to face her finally arms crossed “maybe that’s all it takes”

- Em rolls her eyes “you and Sam don’t count, that’s like creepy divine intervention level shit.” Jack snorts out a laugh “normal people like the rest of us, two months is not enough” “they’re not getting married.” “Yet”

- Jack gives her a long hard look. The one she hates cuz it’s like he can read her fucking mind “this is not about my divorce” he shrugs again and picks up his coffee “did I say it was?” “It’s not” “okay” “it’s not!” “I said okay”

- There’s six women on his couch when Jack gets off a Friday night shift. All of them in leggings and sweaters with blankets and coffee a box of pastries and other assorted snacks on the coffee table. Jack scans the room cautiously, “good morning”.

- They chorus different variations of “good morning” and Sam weaves her way around to give him a hug and a kiss. “What did I miss?” Sam looks over her shoulder to Ellis clicking through the tv menu “Parker saw this show on TikTok we have to watch” Jack looks over his wife’s shoulder as “unholy” by Sam smith blares through the surround sound over the shows intro. “Is this something I have to be included in?” Sam laughs and kisses him again “it is not” “thank god” he kisses her one more time, I’m goin’ to go work out”

- When Jack came back in from the garage he stopped in the kitchen and made a bottle of electrolytes. He watched from the kitchen as all the girls were locked on the show, faces in varying and amusing looks of shock, awe and disgust.

- He didn’t mean to walk into the living room but he still leaned against the couch behind Sam “the fuck is this?”

- “A train wreck” “the best show ever” “something I’m going to have to talk about in therapy next week” “I feel so normal right now.” “It’s an abomination” “careful you’ll get sucked in, save yourself”

- Parker stans the skip into button to get to the third episode faster.

- Jack looked around the living room again at the women that have made themselves at home on his couch, apparently for the rest of the day from the look of it.

- “Walsh, I’m goin’ to need you to find a man soon.” His eyes strayed back to the tv, scowling. Em turned to scowl “why?” Still staring at the tv Jack forced himself to turn to leave “because otherwise people are gonna get the wrong fucking idea” he leaned down to kiss Sam “I’m going to bed. Love you”

- He was halfway down the hall towards the bedroom when the girls all erupted in laughter. Finally catching on to his joke.

~~~~~

This one was a fun way to start my day! 🤣 thank you so much. You may have noticed, I skipped the “show and tell” portion of your request… because it got a mind of its own and so a tiny little fic it shall be! I’m sorry please don’t be mad lol

As always be sure to see my master list for other fics and blurbs for this universe!! 💚

Scars That Bind

**WARNINGS**: implied ptsd, scarring, angst (but w/ happy ending)

~~~~~~~~

@httpvomitello ,"Hi Hi, how are you? So I was wondering if you could do a one shot with Donnie x f! reader who is his girlfriend. It would be after the event of the second film, where she helps with the fight and everything. However, she ends up with a big scar on her back, but she never got around to revealing it to the others because she was ashamed to show it, and because of that, in those weeks she almost didn't let Donnie touch her, whether it was a hug or a kiss. Until one day, he accidentally sees the scar, and after her explanation, he comforts her and things get better.

A/N: oh boy this is much longer than i had planned it to be! hope y'all still enjoy though! im just gonna go cry in a corner after having written this ╮(T▽T)╭

~xXx~

It had been weeks, and yet the events of the Kraang attacks still effected you. Effected your life. It hadn't been as often as early on, but you still had nightmares. Still awoke sweaty and fearful from a nightmare that played out way differently and more devastating than how the real battle had ended victoriously. Well, mostly victoriously. Yes, the four ninja brothers you had helped and fought alongside went home with some new scars that they would no doubt proudly brandish, but the one you took home made you feel anything but proud. Anything but strong like how the turtles felt about theirs.

The large, healed but still freshly ugly wound across your middle back would be a forever reminder of how things could have gone terribly wrong for you that day. You were lucky to make it out alive in the end, but you had not only been physically scarred, but mentally as well.

What if you hadn't made it out of that slippery situation? What if it had happened and then Donnie, your everything, wouldn't have even known, to busy off fighting the big bad boss? How could you leave him, leave everyone, so suddenly in your foolishness to be more than what you were? A fragile human, trying to be a hero like her mutated boyfriend who had been training to fight his entire life?

The near death experience left you thinking and imaging the worst nearly every waking moment, and it seemed to effect more than just your lonesome. It had started to effect your relationship with Donnie. You can't remember the first moment it happened, but you remember every other time you had rejected his touches. The poor man couldn't get a kiss from you, much less a hug, and he had no idea why. The hurt in his eyes always tugged at your heart strings, but not as much as if he were to find out about the permanent alteration to your body.

If he found out, he would surely blame himself for not being there to protect you. Something you wanted him to not do. He along with his super brothers had more pressing things to be worried about, not a single human when they had the whole of New York on their shoulders. Your horrific dreams of death had also instilled in you that very great possibility of just how much danger you truly were in being with them. Yes, it was something that you had all known. April, Casey, and even Vern were just as in likely danger simply by being friends with the turtles, but no one really realizes the weight of something till it comes crashing down on them. Like it had to you.

If one day something happened to you, you didn't want to leave behind a deeply heartbroken and changed Donnie. Making distance would surely make such a casualty easier to deal with if there was nothing no longer there right?

Right?

You chocked on a sob, eyes screwed shut with clasped hands against your reddened face. The staggered cry quietly echoed off your bathroom walls, the only other sound being the slight slush of water in the tub you had planned to get into before you had caught a glance of the cursed marking on your back in the mirror. Now, you sat on the edge, trying your best to reason with your recent actions, but your heart and subconscious knew the truth and would not let you get away so easily.

Images of Donnie's hurt face only a couple hours ago still projected freshly in your mind. The pain in his eyes when you stepped back from his open embrace and rejected his goodbye kiss before you departed for home. You've seen the genius sad before, but never had you seen him so dejected. Knowing that you were the cause, hurt even more.

"But it's for his own good.", you sobbed aloud.

Than why did it feel so wrong?

Suddenly, something had fumbled and hit the tiled floor loudly, causing you to nearly jump out of your skin as you swiftly turned on the edge of the tub to see the last person you wanted to in this exact moment.

There, standing in the entrance straight as a pillar and eyes so wide they might pop out of his head, was Donatello. He had come to return back your phone, that of which he had called deciding it was finally time to talk about your standoff behavior towards him when it rang from the lair lounge. Now though, a call to work out the reason was no longer warranted, the off color patch of new skin and flesh on your back still crystal clear in his mind.

"I. . .", Donnie faltered, one usually a dictionary of speech, now speechless.

You on the other hand, were much more reactive. Your heart picking up pace, as you were quick to grab your towel and wrap it around, stepping out of your forgotten bath and racing to get out of this situation.

"I-I wondered if I had forgotten that, thanks Don, you can go-"

You had tried and failed to push your way past Donnie after swiftly grabbing your phone off the bathroom floor, but the turtle in purple was much faster and had grabbed hold of your arm just as you entered the hallway.

"How. . .how long have you. . .", Donnie swallowed, still struggling to find the words.

You felt your heart drop in your chest seeing the agony in Donnie's knowledgeable gaze.

"Donnie, please. . .", you mutter barely above a whisper, lip beginning to quiver.

"When you said you went to the hospital to check on a friend, did you really go for yourself?", he questioned, brows furrowed as he looked down at you, but you were careful to avoid his gaze.

You tried to pull your arm from his grasp, but Donnie held firm. He wasn't letting you go this time.

"(Y,n), please, I'm just trying to understand."

"There is nothing to understand.", you gritted out, angry with yourself for the tears that threatened to spill once again.

"How could you say that? You have a-"

"I know!", you finally snapped, glare flashing up towards Donatello.

Said turtle was stunned, but soon relaxed his expression, slowly letting go of your arm to take a step back. You cursed yourself internally, looking back to your hallway's carpet and holding yourself tight. A moment of tense silence befell the both of you, neither speaking and both refusing to look at the other. Your heart ached, and so did his, but it was not you who apologized first.

With a tight throat, Donnie was first to speak quietly.

"I'm sorry. . ."

"Don't say that.", you thought to yourself, another stinging pang shooting straight through your chest. Fighting back the urge to cry, you shook your head, chancing a glance at your slumped boyfriend.

"No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled. It's just. . ."

Donnie looked up just as you looked down the hall, but your gaze was else where. It was a look he was all to familiar with, one he'd seen after terrifying incidents he and his brothers had experienced.

"Is that why you've been so distant?"

By that, you knew Donatello meant your scar.

The reference broke you, nodding as you started to sob and weep, new tears making new streaks down your face. Donnie muttered a quiet 'oh', opening his arms as you quickly crossed the short distance to fall against his plastron. The moment his strong arms wrapped around you, your heart had exploded, cries racking your body as you sobbed loudly, not caring if the neighbors heard. It had been so long since you had embraced each other, since you had been this close to the person you fell so deeply in love with, that the sensation of Donnie holding you felt as though you had finally returned home after an arduous journey across rough seas.

The entire time you cried Donnie stood cradling you, rubbing your arms softly and murmuring quiet whispers of "its okay" and "let it out" against the top of your messy hair. Neither of you knew how much time had passed, Donnie undoubtedly willing to hold you up if your legs no longer could, but soon you had calmed, only letting out shaking breaths and a few soft sobs here and there. Once you felt you had regained enough strength you gingerly used Donnie's strong plastron as leverage to push your self back, just enough to still remain close but also peer up into his worried gaze.

"I'm sorry Donnie. I never wanted to hurt you. I was so scared about how something happening to me would effect you, when I've been causing you that pain this entire time. I'm so, so sorry Donnie.", you choked out, feeling as though you were ripping off a band-aid and at the same time having heavy weights lifted from your shoulders.

"Oh, (y,n).," Donnie muttered, reaching up to move a strand of hair from your sticky, tear stained face. "I only wish I had realized sooner what you were going through. You shouldn't have faced this alone. I should have been there to help."

You bit your bottom lip, shaking your head slowly.

"No Donnie, that's exactly part of why I acted the way I did. I don't want you to blame yourself for what happened."

Donnie's grip on you tightened, a pit forming in his chest. That scar. It grabbed him by the throat and had him in a choke hold the second he stepped into your bathroom. When had you gotten it during the Kraang attack? Were you alone the whole time? How did you get such a wound?

Donatello had to be quick to stop his thoughts before they spiraled into picturing unsavory images of just how exactly you had been hurt. He hated it, this revelation that something seriously bad had happened to the person he loved and he wasn't there to do anything about it. If he'd lost you, he'd surely would have lost himself.

Leaning forward with tightly shut eyes, holding back his own tears for your sake, Donnie's lips pressed firmly to your forehead before slowly pulling back. His beautiful gold eyes found yours, a comforting smile gracing his features as you tiredly peered back at him inquisitively.

"Sorry, dove. I can't say that I won't, but I promise I'll try to as long as you promise me something."

"Anything, Donnie."

"Promise me that you'll always remember I'm here for you. That you can come to me about anything, and to please let me help fight your battles with you, just as you so bravely have done for me."

Your lips formed into a smile, the first genuine one in who knows how long. Your head fell against Donnie's strong chest once more, your arms squeezing him this time and feeling your soul being filled with a warm, positive feeling for once as the tallest ninja turtle returned your embrace with just as much love.

"I promise.", you spoke just above where Donnie's heart lay protected by plastron, the feeling of another gentle, loving kiss being placed against the top of your hair.

~xXx~

┗ A Musical Confession; R! Leonardo ┛

Characters: Leonardo (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) A/N: I haven't posted in over a week! Took me forever to find something to write. May do something later though. Definitely working on a Christmas special. Not sure when it'll release, but here's hoping it's before the special double-day! Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this! ⇘ Summary: Ever since Casey came by and the Krang battle happened, you've been living with the turtles. You oversaw everything, but the one thing you never noticed, despite all obviousness, was Leonardo's crush on you. He always believed you would be disgusted by him liking you, but after he finds you singing one day, his courage goes up. But, how do you react?

┍━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┑

┕━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┙

💙 Leonardo walked through the base, his confidence emanating off him changing the mood of every room he came across. Not that you noticed, you were busy with your own duties.

💙 Ever since you moved in with the brothers and Splinter after an incident involving the Foot Clan, you proved to be extremely valuable to their lives. You would make sure that they all stayed out of major trouble, but you also allowed them free space to be themselves. It was something Leonardo admired about you.

💙 Your actions were all he could think about for the past few weeks. It was as if you lived in his head 24/7. Your smile, sparkling eyes, and the cute little sounds you made when hanging out with him and his family. That was all in his head.

💙 The slow beats of the song made you smile and bounce around, the broom moving with you as you began to sing, lyrics coming out of your mouth smoother than any way you've spoken. The only person who has ever heard you sing was Casey, and he was from a timeline different from your own.

"I, I just woke up from a dream. Where you and I had to say goodbye. And I don't know what it all means, but since I survived, I realized." You began, "Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow. Nobody's promised tomorrow. So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night. Like it's the last night."

💙 Leonardo looked up from the ground, hearing the sound of your voice. But, it sounded different. More... melodic. As if you were singing. But, every time someone asked you to sing, you just managed to wiggle out of it.

"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you. If the party was over and our time on Earth was through." You hummed, dust coming off the ground as Leonardo peaked into the room.

💙 His eyes slightly widened, a light red hue covering his light-green cheeks. You smiled and continued singing as he listened and watched. As the song progressed, your dancing became more and more like you were dancing with someone. And, he couldn't just let you do this all alone. He was quite the musician himself, after all!

"I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile. If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you." You calmed down, laying the broom against the wall as Leonardo snuck up behind you and wrapped his arms around you from behind.

💙 You slightly jumped, but, once you realized it was just Leonardo, you calmed down and smiled. A light blush covered your cheeks as he began to sing alongside you in near-perfect harmony.

"Oh, lost, lost in the words that we scream. I don't even wanna do this anymore, 'cause you already know what you mean to me. And our love's the only war worth fighting for." He sang.

💙 You smiled and wrapped your arms around his neck from in front. He smiled back and held you closer, lightly spinning you around with him as you held on tight.

"Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow. Nobody's promised tomorrow. So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night. Like it's the last night. If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you. If the party was over and our time on Earth was through. I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile. If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you." You sang together.

💙 Leonardo grabbed your hand and spun you around, allowing you to face him. His blue bandanna and shimmering eyes making your eyelids fall slightly as the song's lyrics began to come out as if you were speaking them rather than singing a song you adored.

"Right next to you. Next to you. Right next to you. Oh-oh, oh!" Leonardo hit the note as he tilted his head up, making you chuckle and continue singing alongside him.

"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you. If the party was over and our time on Earth was through." His eyes stared into yours, lovingly singing as he rubbed his pointer finger on your waist.

"I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile. If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you." Leonardo smiled and twirled you around, dipping your down as you finished.

"If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you."

"I'd wanna be next to you..."

💙 Just like that, your lips locked. Your once-open and admiring eyes now closed, eyebrows furrowed as Leonardo's expression matched. He hummed and unlocked your mouths from one another, breathing slightly off as he smirked and looked into your lidded eyes once again.

"It's good to know you like me back, Lovebug~" He taunted.

💙 You rolled your eyes as he smiled, his cheeks slightly wrinkling his eyes. He adjusted his hold on you, hugging you with his arms around your midsection. You rested your arms around his shoulders and laid your head on his chest.

"Aw! How cute!" A feminine voice said.

💙 Looking upwards while Leo turned around, there was April with the rest of his family. Splinter and Casey smiled, Raphael chuckled, Michelangelo was trying to keep his laughing down, and Donatello was attempting to keep his smile away from his face.

"It took you guys long enough to confess. Honestly, I was about to put you both under mind-control." Donnie said.

"Thought you didn't believe in that. 'It goes against science', remember?" April said.

"Yeah, well, sometimes you have to do what you have to do."

💙 You laughed as Leo kept his hold on you and the family began to bicker just like old times. This was what he always wanted. His family, and you.

*If I missed anything lmk!

a/n: Awe my beautiful lovies!!! we are halfway done with my wonderful birthday week :( I just want to thank each and every one of you for supporting me and showing me nonstop love. I love each and everyone of you so dearly!!!! I also wanna apologize for the late upload! I hope you guys can forgive me!

Maybe I’m crazy, but it’s hard to ignore you

And I can’t wrap my head around it, but it feels

Oh, like I loved you before.

Being back in the hallways of Hawkins Elementary felt odd. Everything has stayed the same since the last time Steve went there, the paint of the walls, the decorations, even the smell was all the same. It smelled like a chilly autumn morning and books, innocence and childhood - a smell he didn't even realize he missed so much until he entered the building.

The cinder block lined walls hold memories, locking them in place until the end of time. Now his son's will be there along with them, a new generation of the Harrington family ready to leave their mark.

Walking hand and hand with Danny, Steve feels every single emotion any parent would on their child's first day. It's bittersweet, stinging him right through the heart with sadness and patching itself up with a sense of excitement. Danny on the other hand is a ball of energy, bouncing with every step he takes, like he always does.

The small boy is nothing but big smiles, eyes darting everywhere as he takes in the new environment. His Ninja Turtle backpack is comically bigger than him, flopping off of the backs of his knees with every step he takes.

As he looks down at his son, who looks just like him at that age, a big rush of adoration falls onto the older man. Over the short five years that Steve became a dad, he's learned that you can fall in love with your baby all over again just like the first time you held them. Steve is always amazed by Danny and the amount of love that runs through his veins for the small boy, but sometimes you need a little refresher like right now.

"You excited to meet your new teacher, Danny?" Steve swings the small boys arm causing him to giggle.

Nodding his chestnut hair, he looks up at his father with wide eyes. "M'cited dad."

"You gonna make lots of friends?" Steve isn't sure if this question is appropriate but a part of him worries about his son's ability to make new friends, since Steve is the only one out of his friends that has a child.

"I fink so but they hav' to like tourtles." Danny isn't really bothered by the question too much, not when he's too focused on the bright decorations that stick all over the walls.

"Turtles, Dan." It comes out in a chuckle. Even though Steve always corrects his son on the word, he's still a sucker for the way he says it.

Making it to the end of the hall, they stop at the wooden door with the numbers 206 written over them. The memory of Steve's kindergarten years creep into his mind as they stand there, flashbacks of him holding his mom's hand as wet tears streamed down his face. He wonders if his mother remembers that or if she buried that in the back of her mind like everything else in his life.

Pulling himself out of his head, Steve knocks on the closed door and scoots back just a little to leave room for it to open. Crouching down to his son's level, he runs a nervous hand through his hair, fixing whatever pieces didn't stay down.

"Daddy, you're gonna mess it up." Danny pouts, lightly stomping his converse clad foot on the vinyl flooring.

Pulling his hand back, Steve realizes he's using his son for his anxious habits. "You're right, m'sorry. You gonna be okay?"

Danny rolls his eyes in a sassy way, the way that always makes Steve laugh. "Yesss dad."

Wow, his son is really his carbon copy.

The sound of the heavy door opening pulls both of their attention, Steve immediately springing up from his position wiping his clammy hands down his shirt.

Steve steels himself for who he's about to meet, releasing a shaky breath he didn't realize he was holding. Now, Steve expected to see a middle aged woman, maybe even older. He pictured someone with a grandma type energy, sweet and welcoming. What he didn't expect was you.

Standing there in the doorway with the bright light of your classroom falling around you in a halo. A pretty floral dress hangs from your body, cinching your body just right without being too inappropriate. Your cheeks are puffed up as you smile brightly, eyes crinkled at the sides as you do.

You seem about the same age as Steve, no older than twenty five. Glasses sit on the top of your head, pushing back the front of your hair. In a way you remind him of Miss Honey, not looks wise but your aura. You're so fucking pretty and he doesn't think he'll be able to formulate a sentence.

"Let me guess," You stand with a hand on your hip, pretending to think hard, "You must be Mr. Daniel Harrington."

The little boy in question beams up at you, bouncing on his toes as he clutches his excited hands around the straps of his backpack.

"My dad calls me Danny." The lisp that he has is very noticeable when he says it. Steve can tell you want to coo so badly over the small boy, the flexing of your fingers not going unnoticed.

Crouching down to his level, you reach out a hand to Danny for a handshake. "What a pleasure to meet you Danny."

Placing his hand into yours, he shakes it in a jerky manner. His missing bottom tooth shows off with the way he smiles at you. Pulling your hand away, you stand up straight still looking at the small child.

"Danny whenever you're ready you can head right inside and find the cubby with your name on it!" Your voice is like the sun, bright and chipper.

Craning his next up to his dad, he waits for his dad's permission even though his body trembles with anticipation. Steve on the other hand doesn't want to let him go, not ready to detach himself from his baby he spent five years with.

Kneeling down, Steve wraps his son in one last hug. The sting of unshed tears hits his nose first, the lump that sits in the back of his throat waits patiently for the dam to break.

"Okay dad, I have to go!" The small boy giggles, not understanding the gravity of the situation. To him he thinks his dad is just being silly, not realizing that his dad's heart is breaking.

Reluctantly Steve pulls away, trying to remember the look on his son's face. His own flesh and blood, the boy he's worked so hard to raise by himself, and God is his heart full.

"Alright little man, go head inside." Tapping a heavy hand to the boy's head, he watches him duck into the classroom.

Popping back to his standing position, Steve tries his hardest to blink the tears away. You still stand there, observing the classroom behind your shoulder.

"Oh, Mr. Harrington," You call out before he can leave and he's quick to interrupt you.

"Please, call me Steve. I feel like I'm too young to be Mr. Harrington." He half chuckles, ignoring the skip of his heart when he makes eye contact with you.

"Steve," You correct, a bashful smile on your face, "I wanted to ask if you would be the only person to pick him up or if your wife would also be included in pick ups and drop offs."

"Oh, no I'm not- his mom isn't." Lifting a hand to scratch at the back of his neck, he thinks of the best way to say it.

"Danny's mom isn't around, so it'll be just me on pick up and drop off duties. Possibly his aunt Robin but I'd let you know beforehand." A tight smile forms on his face.

"Oh I am so sorry, I shouldn't have assumed." You rush to apologize but you're quickly interrupted with the shake of his head.

"It's okay, you didn't know." He reassures and you visibly relax.

You're just as nervous as he is and he wonders if it's because you feel the same spark he does. Or maybe he's thinking too much into it. Either way, he'd like to think it's the latter.

"Well I'm very excited to teach Danny this year, he seems like a great kid." Although liking kids is part of your job, it sounds sincere coming out of your mouth and not rehearsed.

A coy smile breaks out on the older man's face, rose tint pours onto the rounded apples of his cheeks. "Y-yeah, he's a good kid. He can be shy sometimes but he loves to be around people."

Nodding your head, you sneak another peak behind you to check on the boy. "That's okay, I'm shy too."

When you turn to face Steve again, your lip is tucking behind your teeth. You're so fucking cute it makes him forget just how sad he was to drop off his own son and he doesn't know if that's a good or bad thing.

A long pause settles between the two of you, eyes becoming too bashful to meet. Steve kicks his foot at the hard floor, hands tucked into the pocket of his jeans.

"Well Steve, it was so nice to meet you but I have to get back in there." You sigh hiking a thumb over your shoulder.

Steve feels like someone just popped him like a balloon, the small amount of joy he's felt just by talking to you has now been taken away. Meeting you with a tight lipped smile, he nods understandingly.

After bidding your farewells, Steve thinks about you. He wishes he wasn't so awkward, that he had acted way cooler than he did, and how breathtaking your smile was when you spoke to him and his son.

On his drive home all he could think about was you and his son, ping ponging back and forth between the two. Steve wishes that he met you before today, maybe in the coffee shop on Main or in line at the grocery store. He wishes that he would be able to ask for your number and take you out without any consequences brought on by the school.

He doesn't know how he's going to last a full year with Danny in school and he's really not sure how he can manage to keep a professional conversation with you every morning without falling in love.

The low hum of Rod Stewart's "Rhythm of My Heart" plays through the car, the soundtrack to Steve's drive home.

Ah, the rhythm of my heart

Is beatin' like a drum

With the word's I love you

Rollin' off my tongue

"Fuuuuuuck," His voice drags out in the safety of his car, "I'm screwed."

Yeah, he was definitely screwed.

The ending feels rushed and it's not good but I hope you still enjoy! love you all :)

What is your favorite thing about each version of the turtles (mirage, 87, 03, etc) that you've seen? Could be a concept, character, etc

Thank you so much for the ask 💚

I haven't seen/experienced all versions of the Turtles, so I can only answer for the ones I know.

This got long, so I put it below the cut

'18

The animation, character design and voice acting in Rise are superb. What I especially love about the Rise boys, though, is how openly affectionate they are with each other. Even "I'm scared of togetherness" and "uncomfortable with emotion" Donatello regularly gives his brothers affectionate headpats and reassuring touches. I just adore how often and proudly they hug each other! More of that, please!

Bayverse

This was a fascinating take on the Turtles, for me. The designers really seemed to lean into the 'Mutant' part of TMNT, in a way no other version had or has. I think it would be fascinating to explore their unique biology - like bullet-proof shells and accelerated growth - more, in ways the relatively short runtime of the movies didn't allow for. What unique complications might their mutation result in, that other versions of the boys wouldn't have? If they look like that as teenagers, what kind of giants would they be as adults!? Also, I'm not sure I've seen any other version really dig into how the boys would be treated as monsters by human society in the way Out of the Shadows did. I'd love to see that really explored in depth.

'07

For an almost 20 year old movie (isn't that scary!), 07's CGI holds up remarkably well, especially for the Turtles themselves. I love their designs in this movie. These are how I expect 3D mutant ninja turtles to look and move. And the rooftop fight scene is peak animation - the lighting, the rain effects, the choreography of the fight, everything! Plus, the Whump-fan in me gets chills every time Leo gets captured 😅

Batman vs TMNT

I've got to give special mention to the Batman turtles. The whole movie is very pro-Batman, but the Turtles are handled pleasantly well, too. Mikey in particular is an absolute delight! I couldn't help smiling whenever he was onscreen. And I loved how much fun the animators clearly had when animating the turtles in particular. Oh, and Batman's Rogues Gallery taking the mutagen and all turning into different animals (and a plant)? Chef's kiss! Cobra Joker is an excellent character design.

Splintered Fate

The only Turtles game I've played, and I'm not very good at it 😅 I definitely think it would be more fun as couch co-op than played solo, but I digress. The character designs have a nice blend of 03 and IDW (I especially like what they did with Karai's design), and the voice acting is really good. Dominic Catrambone is a new name to me, but I found myself really enjoying his version of Leo.

'03

Saving the best (imo) for last, where do I even start with 03? There's so much to love about this show! The character designs in S1-5 are peak, all of the voice actors are superb (the 03 boys are my favourite voices for the turtles, hands down), and the overarching storylines are gripping and compelling. Plus, 03 Leo is far and away one of my favourite characters of all time.

If I had to choose just one thing to love about the show, though (besides Leo), I would have to say the more serious writing of S1-4. I love how weighty and grounded so many of the stories feel, and how they weren't afraid to shy away from more heavy subjects like ptsd. Yet, despite it all, the 03 boys kept their honour and compassion. I'm not ashamed to say that 03 Leo was something of a role model for me, growing up.

(Plus, it's one of the o ly versions to feature Klunk. Which is, quite frankly, a crime/hj.)

TMNT 2012 with a s/o on their period

Note(s): I wrote this with a ftm Reader in mind, but there are no gendered pronouns or gendered titles used.

Characters included: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michealangelo, April O'Neil, Casey Jones.

Leonardo

Listen, as much of a leader and confident guy you may believe he is, he is still a mutant turtle who does not get periods and only knows because it was mentioned in a show once and he wanted to know more. He will not understand, beside the basics of 'bleeding down there, intense hormones, and sometimes unbearable pain depending on who you ask.'

If you're someone who goes through a lot of physical pain expect an overbearing mother figure now in your life, he will literally be there with all the advice he can find that'll help.

With the limited resources in the lair and the fact he can't exactly go shopping himself, he'll ask April or Casey to buy period products or pain relief tablets for you if you complain. Even if he's awkward and shy about asking, he doesn't want to burden you by making you wait for a reply over text or have to get up, the fact it helps you makes it worth it.

Soup is also good, he knows how to make traditional teas and soups for you, with great difficulty, and help from Splinter, that will lessen your stomach cramps. Though if you get cravings he may be a little less helpful, it's hard to get ingredients when you live in the sewers and are hated by most of the world.

If you like company he would stay off patrols once or twice, but he's fairly strict about his schedule and won't go too far off it, even if he wants to help you.

If you don't get much pain, he's still by you in his free time and asking questions, you're literally bleeding he's never going to stop worrying.

Whenever you talk to him he basically soaks in the words like a sponge and uses it to help you, a one off 'yeah, this food helps.' and he's on his knees begging for April to buy some.

Raphael

Raphael... I love him, but he needs help when it comes to this. I imagine most of the other turtles at least know the basics, Michaelangelo is the worst but he still knows what a period is, but Raph just never really cared enough to learn.

He knows that a period happens... But that's about it. So, if you're in intense or even a small amount of pain and or wake up with blood around you, he's freaking the hell out, he thinks you've been stabbed or something or maybe he accidentally hurt you with his sais as you slept.

If you explain he's sort of like 'yeah whatever, how do we stop it from hurting you?' and then he never leaves your side.

You run out of products? Step out the way Casey and April, he's sneaking in the shop and thieving- I mean, he's putting on a trenchcoat and hat to hide his turtleness, and buying the products like a good mutant ninja turtle should. But seriously, he doesn't trust the two to buy the right ones, he gets the exact brand right somehow, even if you never tell him what one you want.

He pushes the exercise side of it, even if it doesn't help much, exercise is something that helps him so when he hears it can help he doesn't research further. It takes you explaining that it not only depends on the person but the exercise for him to pout and let you lead.

Donatello

He'd probably panic for a while but then tries to look through a science lense, like, oh! You need to level your blood sugars in this week, these excersises will help you but these won't, make sure to keep your stomach warm so you can lessen the contractions and pain.

Gets a bit sad if you're the type to be more distant and want alone time on your period, especially if you don't like loud noises. Donatello usually has you watching him while he works on his science stuff, so when you aren't it's a demotivator.

Ends up completely abandoning his work just to follow you around like a sad puppy, tending to your every need or waiting outside your room for a text from you if you need something.

If you want him around he's a lot more easy going, if you don't mind sitting in the lab with him while he works then he's all for it, of course he's checking on you every once and a while, and will talk when he wants to, but it comes from him wanting to help you.

If you have health issues caused by your period or your period is made worse by your health issues he's helping you a lot, he knows a lot about human anatomy and how to help ease pain, especially since April and Casey started hanging out with the Turtles more often.

He has a whole section of a diary dedicated to you, and that includes your period, when you're due, what food you've told him helps you, what foods you've said make it worse, what pain you usually describe as, etc, etc.

Michealangelo

Michaelangelo is 100% the type of guy who just goes along with what you want because he wants to help, he probably knows that you bleed, you get mood swings, and you're in pain. And that's all he needs to know.

He's watching you for your entire cycle and just PRAYING nothing bad will happen, gives you all the food you want, no matter how unusual. This can sometimes make it worse, because cravings aren't always foods that will help you, and he feels really really bad if that happens.

He tries to hold himself back on just giving you whatever you want, but when you look up he just folds and starts treating you like royalty.

He can't make a lot of normal foods, he can make pizzas and maybe a decent sandwich, but besides that he's a bit useless, so he tends to buy you microwaved dinners. Unless you don't like them. And then he's just lost.

Mikey asks Donatello to help on the more science level, like no, chocolate will not help, that's a dumb myth, it will only make your sugar levels higher and increase pain, plus blood flow, and nobody wants that.

Cue Mikey closing the oven to hide his chocolate pizza he was making for you.

When buying or storing products, he tends to sort of forget how expensive they are, he'll go in with only a couple of dollars and fall to the floor in utter shock upon realising that is not nearly enough.

But he may or may not steal a few, he saves the city, he gets no money from it, this is completely justified in my opinion.

It's not like he tells anybody anyway.

April O'Neil

She understands so much, whatever you need she'll get for you within minutes.

If your cycles match up April and you will have days where you just sit down and cuddle together, usually at her apartment or in the lair.

She's most likely the one who goes shopping for stuff since she's usually shopping for the turtles as well, though you can come along or even do it yourself if hers is painful and yours is bearable enough to go and vice versa.

If you don't get much pain or mood swings, she makes a few jokes on how she wishes she was you, but if you ask her to stop she will.

Understands the pain that might come mentally, if yours is really bad during the month she even ignores the Turtles to help you out. Unless you want to be left alone in which case she can do that as well, but she will text you every few hours, this is probably happening with or without your period given how dangerous being friends with her is.

If you have intense pain, she's extremely worried for you and will try to help in any way she can, especially if you have other issues that impact your period and or your period causes you other issues.

Casey Jones

Once he gets it Casey doesn't care for the exact details, all he needs to know is when he needs to be involved. Then he's actually really helpful

Usually gets too embarrassed to buy pads for you so he asks April to do it for him, if she refuses he awkwardly makes his way over and will be red the entire time he buys them.

He will begrudgingly be mushy if it means you'll feel better, but also reluctantly leaves you alone if you prefer being alone, he's complicated when it comes to you.

Tends to try to make you laugh or smile if you get sad, but fails to realise that the flood gates of hell spill over with unholy blood whenever you do laugh too hard.

If you're someone with less blood and or pain he'll be asking once every few hours if you're okay, every month is the same, he never learns that you're going to be fine, or that you don't experience too much pain, but it shows he cares.

If you have intense pain he's next to you always helping and at your beck and call, he's fine with skipping out on time with April or the turtles because he doesn't want you in pain.

This has been in my drafts for a little over a year, I've only just got the strength to finish it (⁠｡⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

[sophiacloud28]

*scrambles to your inbox*

SOPH YOURE DOING THE ASK GAMES??

(Also hi, good morning, turtle tats here)

22. Let me talk with Bay Leo?

…I think you know exactly what I’m thinking lol

*hive brain activate*

Love yaaaa 💚💚💚

Hello! 😃 I am and... Oh. Oh. Interesting choice. Let me see what I can cook up.

One-shot, eventual fluff and realization of feelings, Bayverse Leo

This is... honestly not the way Leo hoped things would turn out. He might have had a clue with the way you tried to defend yourself whenever he found you, but he didn't quite think it would turn into... this.

It's been three days. He's been trading off with Donnie when it comes to patrols, but, if he's honest, neither of them has been doing great work. None of them have, in fact. Raph shows up every morning and evening, and Mikey makes a point of eating lunch with him before disappearing elsewhere. Leo can also hear the camera Donnie has temporarily set up to make sure that, if they absolutely have to deal with anyone or anything, you along with Dad are safe.

... But it's still three days, and, apart from your breathing, there's been nothing. Nothing but him... and his troubled mind.

He wonders if he did the right thing back then. If there really was no other outcome. Of course, he knows better. Some encounters are unavoidable and you are simply one of them. He just — He just wishes it didn't end with you getting stabbed.

He looks at your wrapped shoulder and presses his lips together to look away. He takes a breath and stands, half-expecting his phone to explode with messages and knowing that the only reason it doesn't is because they all know where he is.

"Hm."

Before his world halts.

"Hm?"

He turns.

"... Leo?"

And his heart near drops out of his plastron.

You smile as your name stumbles out of his mouth in question. He swallows as you do, trying to find your breath as he closes the door. And he, great ninja he is, nearly trips over his own feet as you start moving and your hand goes for your shoulder.

"Don't," he whispers. "It's still healing."

"Fair. Where's Donnie? I –"

"Let me take care of it."

"I'll be fine, Leo, I –"

"You are not fine. You were out for three days."

He's never been gladder to see you stop moving, even if you look at him with exhaustion and questions in your eyes.

"... Let me talk?"

"Floor's yours."

Although, if he had to say anything, the biggest thing he's missed is your spirit as he smiles.

"Actual Foot Clan. Hoping to get –"

"Donnie to work with them, I know. Went about as well as one could expect."

"I said, "Let me talk"."

And he's pretty sure it's why he can't stay mad at you as you giggle, hiss at the pain, and settle down.

What is he going to do with you?

"You hit your head when Baxter dropped you. Gave you a concussion, according to Donnie. And the injury did nothing to help."

"That would explain the head pain."

... What was he going to do with you?

"Hey, I'm not about to make you feel even more guilty."

Certainly with the way you're defending him now?

"Maybe I should."

"Leo."

It's a bad plan. It'll compromise everything he's built.

... He's just too weak.

He shifts. Turns. His beak finds smooth skin before his lips fleetingly claim it, right at the hairline.

"... I'll go get Donnie," he states before getting up.

He hates your silence. He loathes your blink. But he swallows and heads downstairs.

22, 29, 31! 🫂🫂

HIIIII WITCHYYYYY!!!

Here you go! 😁

22.) What is your favorite kind of pizza?

Pepperoni and Fresh Basil. 🤤

29.) What is one headcanon that you have?

Here's a fun one I haven't gotten to use in anything yet:

They each have a little light in they're rooms. Whenever the boys are sleeping during the day and a guest comes over, they enter a code in the keypad by the door that turns the lights on. That way, when our beloved ninjas wake up because *something is different* they can see the light, know they're not in danger, and go back to sleep.

Later on, Donnie programs a biometric scan that sweeps the lair every quarter-hour and an alarm goes off if there are any life forms it doesn't recognize.

31.) What is one piece of TMNT canon that you dislike/ignore?

Okay, this was the first one that popped in my head, and I'm going to be dating myself here. When the Internet was newish, I waited oh-so-patiently for the very first official TMNT website. Eventually, it finally happened and I was so excited! I might be able to fill in some gaps I had, or learn some new lore that I can dismantle and repurpose! Yay!

So my happy shiny innocent ass clicks over to the website, and, of course, each turtle has a bio page. They said the things you'd expect, favorite colors, favorite games, etc, and then I got to the food.

My dudes.

Three were fine and plausible, Leo likes sushi, and Mikey, of course, loves pizza. I don't really remember Donnie's, but I want to say it was something like chicken parm? Someone who is also old please correct me. Evidently, according to canon (at least at that point in time), Raphael's favorite food... was cereal. 😐

So yeah, that's been stricken from the record. My guy likes a classic steak dinner: steak, potatoes, veggies. Bonus points if you can also get him a good single malt.

Cereal. Fuck outta here with that. 🖕
