Rottmnt x Soul Eater AU

1st pairing Leo & Usagi

+character sheets

Little bit of loree

Leo and his brothers were artificially created to eventually become Kishins, but Splinter (a death scythe) saves and raises them. Because of his origins, Leo's meister was chosen by Splinter to reduce the possibilities of his black blood developing. Usagi was born and raised by his aunt and grandfather because his parents were consumed by a kishin egg when he was little. His father was a powerful meister, one of the best, despite that, Usagi had no intention of becoming a meister or enrolling in DWMA. When his grandfather was approached by Splinter to help his with his peculiar situation, he demanded Usagi to continue his father's legacy and become Leo's meister.

Their dynamic

Leo actually cares very deeply for Usagi but doesn't want to admit it. Between them everything is a competition, it's actually annoying for the people around them. They usually bicker a lot but know when things need to be taken seriously. When they start arguing, it takes a miracle for them to stop. They would have a mental breakdown if they were separated for more than 3 seconds. Both of them are still dumb af and together are the pinnacle of ADHD

(Yes, they become lovers at the end who do you think I am?, I bet Usagi proposes when Leo finally becomes a death scythe)

ROTTMNT Theory

So I was doing some research on turtles (I'm big into herps), and the video I was watching threw out a random comment about Alligator Snapper's lifespans. This piqued my curiosity, so I did a quick search of how long the other three Rise turtle species live.

The shortest lifespan goes to the Spiny Softshell (Donnie). They only live about 20 years.

Next was the Red-Eared Slider (Leo) at 30 years.

Following that is the Oriental Box Turtle (Mikey), which doesn't have a confirmed maximum lifespan, but typically lives between 40-50 years in captivity.

Finally, the Alligator Snapping Turtle (Raph), lives between 150 and 200 years.

Even if their original species' lifespans aren't observed perfectly in-universe, because they do have human DNA which would probably serve to extend the shorter-lived one's lifespan, that's still a massive difference.

Raph is going to outlive his brothers. Most likely by a huge margin.

Even if their lives are extended to a normal human lifespan of about 80 years, they won't be around for even half as long as he will.

I just think it's so sad that the guy who lives for his family, who would die for them, will have to watch them grow old and leave him. He's going to end up alone.

Art for my Soul Eater x FNAF Security Breach AU!

I originally suggested this in @bamsara 's stream yesterday, and I'm so glad that so many people ran with the idea!

The vague outline for this is that Sun and Moon are both weapons that are cursed by a witch to only be able to transform together. She also makes them look more like their in-game selves because I say so.

The appearance of their weapon form changes depending on who's in charge. When Sun's controlling the transformation, they're a double-bladed halberd. It's about 6.5 feet long, with stylized sun-shaped cutouts on each blade. Under the base of the axeheads, there's a red ribbon wrapped around the staff, with gold bells.

When Moon's in charge, they're a haladie dagger. They're only about 9 inches long in this form. The grip is blue leather with a crescent moon decal, and the guards at the base of each blade are bells.

Sun is best used for more distanced fighting because personality-wise I think he'd prefer that their meister stay as far away from their enemy as possible. Conversely, Moon's a knife because he's a bit more feral. I've been toying with the idea that the curse they have can influence the meister using them, so they would actually go into a bloodlust using Moon's form if they're not careful.

They would have been attacked by a witch when they were in their tweens, and the spell was originally to make them super aggressive and loyal to the witch (and look inhuman so people were less inclined to help them or hear them out if they asked for help.) Moon would have taken the brunt of this to protect Sun, which is why his weapon form has a much bigger effect on the meister's psyche. This is pulling from my understanding of the game, how Moon was affected by the Afton virus while Sun wasn't (or at least to a far lesser extent). While the effect is less extreme or obvious, Sun's weapon form can cause their meister to become extremely protective, to the point of self-destructive behaviors.

Lord Death, best dad of all the dads, was very understanding of their problem, and their vendetta against witches in general. He allowed them to enroll in DWMA, but keeps a close eye on them and their meister to ensure that the curse doesn't get the best of them.

Their meister is going to be Y/n, because x reader fics are cool actually. I won't be making the fic NSFW, or even have fade to black sort of scenes. I think I'll stick with platonic/romantic sort of stuff, with room to interpret it as the reader would like.

So, yeah, that's what I have so far. Feel free to use any ideas here, but please don't directly copy my art or the whole of the plot in something.

Book of Boba Fett Spoilers

In the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett, we saw a lot of twi'leks. Which was pretty cool. They're one of my favorite species! But, there was something that really caught my eye about one of them.

In the cantina, there were two twi'leks who came up to greet Boba Fett and Fennic.

These two. Pretty cool! We love seeing twi'leks out of enslavement! And I think this is the first time we've seen a yellow twi'lek in live action, too.

But on to the science!

One of the less noticeable morphological differences between biologically male and female twi'leks are their ears.

Male twi'lek's have humanoid, pointed ears. They tend to stay flatter to the head.

My #1 post of 2022

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theory

I absolutely love this show, and I really love how the turtles have such a sweet relationship with each other and Splinter. However, I've been bothered by how Splinter insists on calling them by their color, rather than by their names. I mean, I think this is the only version where they actually call him "dad"!

I believe that I've figured it out.

In the episode "Goyles, Goyles, Goyles," we see our lovely boy Lu has sworn off fighting and is just acting like a sweetheart. He's immediately enamored by Draxom's little turtles, and, rather unimaginatively, names them all "green".

Though he seems to really like them, they're obviously normal turtles. It doesn't really matter what he names them.

Now, once Draxam starts the procedure, Lu's upset that the turtles are being mutated into weapons (what an absolute softie, my goodness), and he interrupts the procedure. Now, the turtles are obviously no longer just turtles, but the extent of it is probably up in the air. Lu probably had no clue what he had to expect, but he still grabbed the tiny anthropomorphic turtles anyway, like a boss.

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

[theweirdhybrid]

Hey, really got into reading bout the Wukongverse through quitealotofsodapop's version (https://quitealotofsodapop.tumblr.com/post/728902598320668672/wukongverse-for-some-reason-i-can-never-get#notes). I enjoy many of the posts, I find the idea fun. However, after reading a bit, I ran into a few things that I wanted to ask about/look deeper into your thoughts. The depiction of Sage, in the case of how he pushed MK off once, doesn't fit with how I saw the movie, I really don't think he would do that, he's short-tempered and doesn't listen, but not that (just think of how he was with Fruity after all, personally I think he would treat MK similarly).

Another thing is just something I'm curious if it changed for you or if it's still something you believe. First, I don't mean this as an insult-I think this just happens on Tumblr a lot and I sorta see it here. That is the victimification of a character--ex: Starscream, Hades, and occasionally Wukong--ignoring and blowing out-of-proportion stuff.

You say in a few posts that you see Tripitaka as an abuser, but I believe that is ignoring a lot of what happens in the story and strips all the context away from the times it's ever used, even bloating the amount of its use. In the instances where it is used, Wukong is often in the wrong (except for LBD but they legitimately thought Wukong killed innocent people but that was also Pigsy's fault) in that he does many evil things even when knowing it's wrong, including un-reasonable killing and Tripitaka has only the band to stop Wukong--he's a powerless human otherwise. Like, Wukong has killed a lot of people on the journey--Tripitaka has seen him beat men to death.

Also, Wukong can and has just straight up left. His return more has to do with that the journey is a punishment for all the havocking and murdering and cannibalism.

There's also the allegorical side, but I recommend the Yu translation, as the introduction talks a lot about that better than I can. Or even the OSP videos, but off the top of my head (I read it recently) the group is symbolic in the way of a singular person on the path of enlightenment. Triptaka isn't meant to be much.

I'm not saying physical punishment is good, but my thoughts on Tripitaka are vastly different. I think a lot of people forget that he's only a 20-something human surrounded by murders and human eaters (Wukong has eaten people and everyone is aware of it), raised in a sheltered environment by a religious group, and came out soft, gullible, a bit naive, and with his own traumas pushed into a vast world where he's constantly being besieged by monsters wanting to eat him while trying to guide his disciples to let go of their evils (while they guide him to be more open).

Tying back to the post of the person who sent me to you "Tldr: Tripitaka is a fascinating character, (especially to a high-empathy, bad-with-detecting-lies autistic person like myself) and it's way too easy for writers to interpret him as an abusive jerk when in reality he was just trying to be a good person and survive whilst surrounded by so much danger and corruption." https://quitealotofsodapop.tumblr.com/post/730363947192123392/so-whats-your-opinion-on-tripitakasanzang-a-lot

If you disregard this post entirely, then at least read the Yu translation. It's difficult to understand and it will take you a few days just to get through the introduction, but it gives really good insight.

Hi there, thanks for the ask! Lemme dissect it

That whole thing with Sage was made right before the hyperfixation fell off, but it was directly inspired by the ROTTMNT movie! (which is what my brain switched to shortly after lmao) The thought process behind it was something along the lines of “I need to get the actual plot moving” and Sage was the perfect character in my eyes- at the time, anyways- to get it moving. As you can see, the au died pretty much immediately after that lol, so it wasn’t worth it in the end. However! What it was going to lead into was a look into how Sage was feeling, since if I remember my own timeline correctly, that particular moment happened after he realized he was in a world the rest of the Pilgrim’s were dead. He was grieving in his own right, and was angry at himself for not being there to protect his friends. He wasn’t thinking straight, is what I’m trying to say. So yes, it was very out of character for him to do! That was on purpose, I just sadly never got to portray that :’) Hopefully I will in the remaster, though!

Regarding Tripitaka; You’re completely right! I made those posts two years ago now, nearly three, I no longer agree with some of my opinions regarding the JTTW characters. You’ve made a lot of good points. I do wanna say that the copy of JTTW that I managed to get my hands on was a shortened version that cut out a lot, which I very much wasn’t happy with, but it was the only copy the library near me had. (Can’t remember the name of who translated it, but I remember being particularly upset they left out the Six-Eared Macaque)

When I have the time, I’ll definitely make sure to check out the translation you recommended! That probably won’t be any time soon (I’m hyperfixated on Batman rn haha) but when I get back into Wukongverse, I’ll make sure to read Yu’s translation! :]

Also, I will admit, some personal experiences of mine made me a little too biased on my opinion of Tripitaka. I don’t think he’s an abusive jerk, never really did, though I’m certainly more comfortable with him as a character nowadays than I was two years ago. Still, hurting the people you care about as a form of “making them better” is a bit of a sore spot for me, so I’ll never truly be able to be fully comfortable with him, but that goes for a lot of characters, Wukong included.

Regardless of that though, I do genuinely like Tripitaka’s character! He’s got a lot of fascinating aspects to him, same with the rest of the Pilgrim’s. My dislike of the pain as punishment thing also applies to a lot of aspects of the book, where it’s pretty normal for characters to be lashed or something for even small things, but I also know that was pretty normal in Chinese culture at the time the book was written so :shrug:

And I do see and acknowledge your point on the fact I did uwuify the Wukong’s, an almost embarrassing amount actually. Which is part of why I’m going to remaster the au one day! It’ll get a complete overhaul in a lot of aspects, character interpretations included.

Thank you again for the ask!

soul eater rottmnt au where the “turtles” are the adopted kids of Death (aka splinter). Leo and raph are weapons, donnie and mikey are meisters. leo wants to become the best death scythe to exist ever except donnie is his meister and he’s more interested in the science of resonance and wavelengths than climbing the ranks. mikey would honestly rather be creating art or becoming a chef than fighting witches but raph’s big on being a hero and he’s got a duty as one of Death’s sons so he goes along with it. The reason I was even thinking about this au is because I’ve been imagining tiny mikey with a GIANT claymore that he swings around like it’s nothing bcus i love small people with big weapons <3

RotTMNT/Baron Jitsu fanfiction: Dating… With Children - Chapter Nine

(Also on AO3 if you want to leave a comment or kudos)

Plot:  Benjamin Draxum hardly considered himself a man of high social standing. Not because he was uncouth or unworthy of it, mind you, but simply because he didn’t have much of a social life. Hard to have one when he usually spent his days at work, cooped up in a lab for so long that he often had his lunches in there, and his nights at home reading or doing research for more personal projects. But perhaps meeting handsome semi-retired movie star - as well as his four young sons - could change all that…

((Shoutout to @halloweennut and her kind words (as well as her own drabble based on this AU) for inspiring me to get back to this story for a bit, heh ^v^ I've written two other chapters along with this one, just to make up for both the hiatus before this aaaand the hiatus after this (I still have my TMNT Big Bang fic to finish up, and this fic is kind of a 'when I'm in the mood for it' project anyway. Hope this big content drop makes up for it though. Enjoy! ^v^))

“He's definitely got his own lab! He's a scientist, he has to!”

“Oh yeah! Totally!”

“Do you think he's got his own library room too? Smart people always have libraries in their homes.”

“Yeah, but he knows how to fight like Pop does, so maybe he's got a gym too? Or maybe a whole ring! That would be really cool!”

“He's a scientist, Raphie, not a wrestler!”

“He can both if he wants to be!”

“What are you boys talking about back there?” Lou asked, stopping to look over his shoulder at his sons while also taking a moment to shift the small bag of food to his other arm.

“Nothing!” The four boys quickly shouted, all of them flashing an innocent smile for good measure.

Lou hummed, his expression a mix of suspicious and endeared. “...Just remember, we are guests in Ben’s apartment. So remember to behave yourselves, alright?”

“We will!” “Mmhm!” “Yep!” “Promise!” Satisfied, Lou continued leading the way up to his boyfriend’s Manhattan apartment.

While Lou certainly didn't mind Draxum coming over to his house all the time, Draxum still insisted that their next visit be at his place, figuring it would only be fair. And, similar to their first shared meal, Lou and his sons would be bringing dessert while Draxum would take care of supper. Although, thanks to his youngest’s insistence, he was also bringing something else to share with Draxum in both food and experience. He just hoped his boyfriend didn't mind too much.

Finally, they arrived and Lou knocked on the door. His boys gathered tightly around his legs, all of them eager to see what could possibly inside the apartment. After a few seconds - though it had seemed like an eternity - Draxum opened the door. “Glad you all could make it,” he told them, giving the family of five a small smile.

“Same to you,” Lou smirked, closing the distance between them for a quick peck on the lips that was happily returned.

Once Draxum stepped to the side, the boys didn't even wait for an invitation and just rushed in. Though, that speed didn't last very long unfortunately. From the plain walls and hardwood floors to the closed curtains and the simple bookshelf next to it (nowhere near enough to be a library), it was plain to see that Draxum’s apartment was, well… Just an apartment.

“...Well this place is boring,” Leo stated.

Lou frowned. “Leonardo, manners,” he lightly scolded.

“Oh, uh, I mean, your apartment is… Super cool?” Leo corrected, sheepishly smiling up at his dad’s boyfriend who thankfully didn't look too offended.

Deciding to be a bit more honest, Donnie added, “We thought you would have a lab here, since you're a scientist.”

“Yeah!” Mikey chirped, with Raph nodding along with him, “Just like the smart people on tv!”

“Well,” Draxum replied, chuckling slightly, “I don't think my landlord would be too thrilled with a home lab. It's easier to keep my projects at my office anyway. Although, I was able to set up a small exercise space in my spare room.” Raph grinned at that. Not a gym or wrestling ring, but close enough to feel like his guess had been right.

As for Donnie, while he was disappointed at the lack of a lab or sci-fi decor, the collection of books did catch his attention. He moved to pull one out, but stopped when he heard his dad - who was still keeping an eye on them, even after he and Draxum had moved to the kitchenette - clear his throat. “Oops. Uh, may I PLEASE look at your books, Dr. Draxum?”

“You may,” Draxum nodded, “thank you for asking.” Donnie smiled, and quickly began his search through the small collection, wanting to see for himself what stories and subjects the doctor was into even if he didn't get a chance to read any of it that night.

“An’ can I open up the curtains?” Mikey asked, pointing at the hidden window.

That request Draxum had to actually consider a bit. He did like his privacy, after all… Though one open set of curtains wouldn't be too bad, he supposed. “You may,” he repeated.

“Thanks!” Mikey grinned, running over to the window. His brothers in red and blue joined him, and once they got them open all three of them looked at the fantastic view with awe. “Wowwwwww! The city looks so pretty from your home, Draxum!”

“Yeah!” Raph agreed, “Hey Pop, it's sorta like the time you took us to the top of the Empire State Building, only all the lights are way closer!”

“Heh, yep, it looks like a great view,” Lou smiled, enjoying it himself before looking back at Draxum, “So, Doc, what are we having?” Whatever it was, it smelled great.

“Just some roasted chicken and potatoes,” Draxum answered, “I didn't want to make something your boys didn't want to eat, so I just kept it simple.”

Lou laughed a bit at that. “Trust me, they are not picky eaters. But chicken sounds great, and I may have another side dish for us, if you are interested.” Setting his bag down, he first took out the family-sized tiramisu he had bought, wanting to get it in the fridge as soon as possible. That definitely surprised Draxum a bit, not expecting kids under ten to enjoy something like tiramisu.

But what was even more surprising was when Lou pulled out a bag of rice, a small package of seaweed, and a jar of pickled plums. “Rice balls?”

“Mikey’s idea,” Lou explained, his smile softening a bit, “Making them was one of our first ‘family night’ things that we did…” He could remember it well, all the trial and error they went through along with all the laughs, finally culminating in a place of rice balls that they were all pretty proud of, not caring about all the stray bits of rice that they would have to clean afterwards. “I tried telling him that we were only supposed to bring dessert, but he was insistent that he wanted to teach you. Though, I’d understand if you wanted to do it another time, onigiri making can get pretty messy.”

“Well, no messier than any other type of cooking, I would think,” Draxum lightly retorted. Really, the idea itself he could pass on. But the fact that it was Mikey’s idea, and no doubt something all the kids would enjoy doing together… Gah, when did he become such a softie? It was aggravating in a way, yet also something he knew he wouldn’t care much about in the moment. “We’ve got another half an hour until supper’s done anyway, so why not?” After all, it was just shaping steamed rice, how hard could it be?

...Apparently, much harder than he thought.

“Are you SURE you wet your hands enough?” Leo asked, once again leaning over Draxum’s arm.

“Yes,” Draxum huffed. It wasn't his hands that were the problem, it was the rice that refused to stay together! The more he tried to form it, the more rice that would just fall off or stick to his hand. Wasn’t it supposed to be ‘sticky’ with itself? He narrowed his eyes as he noticed more of his rice falling off his ‘ball’ (really it was more like a misshapen lump).  

Lou tried to hide his smile, sympathizing with Draxum but also being way too amused. “It doesn’t have to be perfect,” he told him, repeating the words he had first used with his kids nearly three years ago, “Rice tastes like rice no matter how together it is.”

“I know,” Draxum mumbled, his eyes refusing to leave the rice as he continued trying to work it into the proper shape.

“Don’t worry about squishin’ it,” Raph suggested, “It’s already soft, so you can’t really ruin it, so just squeeze it together as tight as you can!” He demonstrated this by squishing his rice ball between his hands like he was squishing a ball of playdoh.

“I still say you should just go wash your hands again,” Leo commented

Draxum huffed again. “Honestly, maybe that wouldn’t be a bad idea,” he said as he glared at the rice sticking to his palms and fingers.

Across the coffee table from him (Draxum didn’t have nearly enough chairs for everyone, so they settled for sitting in the living room on the floor), Donnie made a face. “Yeah, I hate the feeling of rice on my hands too. That’s why it’s just better to use a wet spoon,” he told him, using his tool of choice to finish off his triangle-shaped treat. Leo suddenly coughed, unsubtly hiding the word ‘cheater’ in it. Donnie lightly elbowed his twin, and Leo returned the action, sticking his tongue out.

While he had no problems with Donnie using a ‘cheat’, Draxum’s pride still made him want to make onigiri the proper way, even if it was easier said than done. “Well I think it looks really good,” he heard Mikey say, the boy in orange sitting up a bit straighter as he tried to get a better view at it. Mikey’s own rice balls were practically perfect, and Draxum had a feeling that once he was tall enough to safely use the stove and oven, Mikey would no doubt become the chef of the Jitsu family.  “Even if it’s kinda small, it’ll still be yummy! And you’re still having fun, right?”

Finally breaking eye contact with his frustrating, very much imperfect creation, Draxum looked at Mikey’s hopeful face. “...Well, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be, but… I guess it is fun, in a way,” he answered after some thought. Mikey grinned, leaning on him in place of a hug, not wanting to put his own sticky hands on Draxum’s shirt and ruin it.

Looking back at his rice ball with a silent sigh, Draxum picked up a piece of seaweed around the lump, effectively finishing it and placing it on the plate. After a moment of thought, he turned to Mikey. “Would you like to help me with the next one?”

“YEAH!” Mikey shouted, jumping to his feet immediately, “I’ll help you make the best rice ball ever!” he told him as he raced back over to the sink to wet his hands.

Despite his rice fail, the youngest Jitsu’s excitement still managed to bring a small smile to Draxum’s face. “I’m sure you will,” he said as he followed Mikey to the kitchen. As they prepared to get started, Draxum intently listening while Mikey eagerly explained his own tricks to getting the rice ball to keep its shape, Lou’s smile only grew. There was no denying now that his orange son had the right idea about sharing this piece of their family nights with the man that was quickly becoming family too.

By the end of it all, Draxum’s statement about the onigiri making being its ‘own sort of fun’ had become a bit more true. (Weirdly enough, it was easier to relax and not focus so much on perfection when a child was taking the lead.) Still, he was glad to wash his hands for the final time as they all worked together to clean off the leftover rice and set the coffee table for their supper, finishing the making of their rice balls just seconds before the timer went off.

As Lou had promised, the kids quickly dug into their food without complaint, though Draxum decided to try the rice before the main course. After all the effort put into making the damn things, he wasn’t going to let himself get too full to even eat them. “...I’m not sure about the plum, but the rice and seaweed itself is pretty good,” he said after a couple bites.

“We usually put fish or whatever in ‘em,” Raph told him, “But I still kinda like the plum.”

“Althoughhhh…” Getting an idea, Leo reached for a rice ball. Opening it up a bit, he then stuck a piece of his chicken into it. “There! Chicken and rice goes great!”

“It doesn’t really go with plum though,” Donnie commented.

“Maybe potato would work better?” Mikey asked, already sticking a piece of herb covered potato into his rice ball. Curious, his brothers all did the same.

“Oh yeah, kinda!” “Weird mix, but it does taste alright!” “Sorta like puttin’ cranberries on your potatoes at Thanksgiving.”

Knowing he couldn’t really discourage their food experimenting, Lou just chuckled slightly as his kids pretty much tore apart their hard work to try and mix it with the other food on their plate. “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that leftover rice.”

“I suppose not,” Draxum smirked back before taking another bite of his onigiri.

Conversation remained light and enjoyable as they ate, sometimes with the boys discussing something on their own while Lou and Draxum had their own conversation, and other times they’d all be on the same subject. And, like most things Draxum had come to expect from the Jitsu family, it was a bit unusual and a little loud yet still very much comfortable, with the hot homemade food in his stomach only adding to his warmth.

When their plates were cleared and boredom already starting to settle in, Lou figured they would just turn on the tv and settle for whatever primetime movie or show was on. But, as it turned out, Draxum had a surprise of his own…

“Trivial Pursuit for Family?” he read off the clearly newly-bought box, raising an eyebrow. His kids, excited to play, were already setting up the game over the coffee table, setting their pieces of tiramisu to the side for the moment.

“Yes, well, your family seemed like the type that would enjoy game nights,” Draxum explained, “And well, I figured-”

“That this would be a good board game that was both entertaining for the kids and NOT completely torturous for us to play?” Lou grinned, knowing very well what sort of obnoxious board games were on the shelves of toy stores. (He loved his boys with all his heart but he was NEVER AGAIN buying something like Toilet Trouble or anything similar.)

“Got it in one,” Draxum flatly told him, not even trying to deny it. Lou laughed and returned to his seat on the floor. Sure he wasn’t the biggest fan of trivia, but Lou figured it would still be a pretty fun time.

The boys ended up splitting themselves into teams, with Mikey and Leo on one and Donnie and Raph on the other, just to make it a bit more fair to someone like Mikey who wasn’t as far in school as his brothers were. This also kept things from getting too competitive, since all of them had at least one subject they were well versed in and now had a partner they could discuss the answers they didn’t know with, which kept one team from completely dominating over the other.

As for Draxum and Lou, they were on their own. A seemingly fair idea for the adults… In theory.

“...Oh come on, seriously?” Lou scowled, “That is the question?”

“You heard me,” Draxum told him, “‘Who led the first expedition to the North Pole’?”

“How am I supposed to know something like that?!”

“Pretty sure the answer’s Santa Claus,” Leo half-whispered to Mikey, who nodded firmly in agreement.

“Actually, it was Robert Peary,” Draxum told them, having already flipped the card over. Lou scoffed, passing the dice to his left. Lousy history questions. Why couldn’t he land on ‘Entertainment’ or ‘Sports’? At least those he somewhat knew.

His sons had much better luck, answering their Kids Questions at a steady pace. Donnie naturally always aced the science questions while Raph helped with sports. Even at age five, Mikey surprisingly knew a lot about art from the various picture books he had looked through on the subject, and Leo knew quite a bit of history. They all knew most of the entertainment questions related to kids media, but not having a good grasp on the geography outside of their home city meant that landing on a blue space would always get a loud groan from the duo unlucky enough to land on it.

Soon enough it was Draxum’s turn once again, and Lou drew a card from the Adult card holder, thankful that his boyfriend hadn’t landed on a green space at least. He didn’t seem like an artsy guy, so maybe an Art and Culture question would trip him up some. “‘Which is not a vocal part in an all-male barbershop quartet’?” Lou read, “‘Baritone, lead or al-’?”

“Alto,” Draxum answered, “Can’t exactly have a high part in singing that’s meant to be low.”

“So what, you’re a music expert now?” Lou asked, nearly tossing the card aside. He could hear his sons trying to hide their giggling while Draxum coolly picked up a purple wedge.

“Getting a little competitive, are we, Lou?”

“Shittakaburi.” Draxum just chuckled, not needing to understand him in order to still be amused by his boyfriend’s pouting. Of course, not even Draxum was smart enough to get EVERY question right, so Lou was still able to get his light-hearted digs in whenever Draxum did get something wrong.

Still, neither of them ended up winning the game in the end, and they both gladly clapped for Mikey and Leo’s team when Leo got the final question of the game right. “I was guessing on that one,” he admitted, “But still, I’m awesome!”

Donnie and Raph rolled their eyes, though with such a close game with was hard to really be mad. Besides, all four of them were too tired for a rematch, and their father and his date could clearly see that. Lou picked up Mikey and let him rest his head on his shoulder while he took Raph’s hand, and Draxum did the same with the twins. Without much resistance - and thankfully, without any tripping either - the boys were all led back down to the parking lot and to Lou’s car.

“Thanks for a fun time,” Lou said after he buckled in his sleepy sons, his voice quiet but just as sincere as ever, “I mean, I always have a fun time with you, but… I really do appreciate the things you do for my boys, Ben. Making onigiri and playing games, helping when they were sick and playing in the yard…”

Draxum hummed, thinking back on those moments - moments that, before meeting Lou and his family, he probably would’ve refused otherwise out of awkwardness or not wanting to deal with what seemed like such a hassle. It was still hard to believe how quickly he had gotten attached to the boys, how quickly their childish antics and youthful excitement and unwavering admiration towards him made Draxum want to make them smile too. “I do those things because I want to,” he told him firmly, not wanting his boyfriend to think that he was only doing it out of any sort of obligation or simply because he knew being nice to boys would please Lou. No, his actions were just as genuine as his affection, Draxum made sure of it.

“Heh, yeah, I know… Still, I know it means a lot to them, just as much as it means a lot to me.” With a small smile, he leaned forward and met Draxum’s lips once more.

Again, Draxum returned the gesture, holding Lou close. The wind was picking up, the autumn season slowly but surely becoming winter, but Draxum could hardly even feel it.

“You’re a really sweet guy,” Lou told him once their kiss broke.

“Even if I beat you in trivia?” Draxum asked.

Lou hmph’d before smirking back at him. “Fine, fine, yes. Even then.”

“Heh, good to know.” They shared another kiss, holding each other for just a bit longer before finally parting for the night. Draxum watched until the headlights of the gold colored car were lost in the sea of Manhattan traffic, and then went back upstairs. As Lou had promised, there weren’t any leftovers, and Draxum lazily decided that washing dishes and putting away the game could wait until morning.

But, as he moved to close the curtains, he hesitated. “...It is a pretty nice view,” he mumbled to himself, his hand letting go of the drawstring.

He was still a man of privacy, no doubt about that. But even so, perhaps a bit of extra light in his life couldn’t hurt...

to everyone who was wanting to see the disaster twins figures, Donnie is almost done!! I just need to wait for his legs and arms to dry so I can paint them, then attach them to his body and finish his goggles then it's on to Leo!! both turtles will be based off of my People Eater AU designs at first I didn't like how Donnie's body looked becaus the skeleton under the clay made the plastron curve too much to one direction ruining the lines on the plastron but after painting it I found it o look nice, and since he is going to be based off of the P.E. AU *sob of all things PE* his limbs are small at the start but once at the knees/elbows they become quite big, once I start working on Leo I might have to make his marking out of paper and glue them on since I tend to make his markings stick out of his body, I think the hardest part to make for him will be the body and arms since he will be in a position as if he is talking to Donnie, as well as the smallest details like the earrings on the mask tails, his fingers will be hard to make as well. but since I have already made a figure before (Day from Legend, though he was a human and I used a ref) I learned a few tricks that I need if I wanted the clay to dry faster. this time I am also more patient because the last time I tried to rush the painting and assembly, the clay wasnt dry so it was hard to paint and once I rushed into assembly the figure fell apart. and im thankfully using a thinner brush for small details so I won't risk killing my precious Micro Pens. doing these little projects is fun but also hard, the fun part is the designing, painting, and assembly but the hard part is shaping the clay and skeleton into the way you want and make sure everything is the way it should be.

if you read this whole update on the figures then you will see Donnie tomorrow without his arms and legs attached!! lucky you! you get to see a disabled and amputated Donnie! (reblog appreciated)
