For whatever reasons, Jazz becomes Damian's foster parent for about a year.
(May I introduce you to the ‘Damian grows up as a Fenton’ AU? XD However, this ask won’t be related to that AU)
Damian felt cold.
“… I’m going back?”
Bruce frowned. “Yes. Of course, you’re going back to Gotham.”
Damian could not help the glance that he took by his side, where the presence of Jazz was absent. Bruce had caught him while he was out with friends, and he had been forced into a conversation with his father for the first time in a year.
Yes, a year. A year since he had been tossed out of the manor for “protection” and put into foster care. It had been hell at first, but Jazz was the most patient, rewarding, and kindest person he had ever met, possibly even above Alfred or Richard.
And now he would be separated from her again.
Damian was silent before he then said slowly, “I see.” Shadow brushed against his legs, ever watching with its wide eyes and Damian could see Bruce recoil at the sight of the strange dog. He resisted a smile and then reached downwards to pick them up. “When am I expected to be leaving?”
“In a week,” Bruce said, grimacing. “We’ll talk to your… guardian and thank her for her assistance.”
Yes. Because taking care of him and showing him proper familial love was merely assistance.
Damian’s eyes were half lidded. “I see.”
Bruce stared at him and opened his mouth. But after a moment, he didn’t say anything and then just turned around to leave. Damian watched him go and when he was assured that no one was looking, looked down at Shadow and said, “Take me back to Jazz.”
Shadow did so with a whoosh of its powers and Damian dropped into the kitchen, where Jazz stood in front of the stove, blinking at the sight of him.
“Damian!” She said, beaming at him, cheerful as ever. “Welcome home! Are you hungry? Go wash your hands, I tried making potato soup today.”
Damian gently lowered Shadow to the ground and then strode over to throw himself into Jazz’s embrace, wrapping his arms around her and burying his face into her stomach. She startled but then quickly dropped to the ground in a squat, holding him carefully.
“What’s wrong, Damian? Did something happen? Do you want to talk about it?” She continued holding him in a hug and her vanilla-ocean fragrance was a comfort as always.
“…. My father approached me. He wants me to go back and he said that he’ll talk to you.”
Jazz froze. Then carefully, she asked, “Do you want to go back?”
Did he?
He loved being Robin and in a way, he had loved his siblings. They had pushed for him to stay but Bruce’s orders had been absolute and whatever he had said to them seemed to have reluctantly convinced them to let Damian go. They still secretly visited and sent him photos on the occasion, but Damian did not miss Gotham City.
He liked being here. He liked the schools here. He liked the curricular courses and the many ghosts. He liked his new friends and being a civilian and walking around town to find blob ghosts and get ice cream on the weekend with his foster uncles and aunts. He liked Shadow and Danny and Dante and Ellie and Samantha and Tucker and everyone else.
And most of all, he liked being with Jazz.
“……… no,” he said reluctantly and then the flood broke through the dam. Jazz never judged him for his acts of weaknesses, and even now, all she did was wrap her arms around him and pull him into a cradled hug, stroking his hair and back as he sobbed into her shoulder.
He couldn’t help but admit quietly, “I want to be here with you.”
The admission burned but it was true. He had never been happier than when he was with Jazz.
Jazz didn’t pull back, only squeezing him tighter. “Then I’ll fight for you. Whatever it takes, alright? You can stay here with me, as long as you want, Dami.”
Damian nodded, tears still flowing from his eyes as he felt the comforting press of Shadow against his side and Jazz’s hold completely encompassing him. He ducked his head into her neck and went slack. She took all of his weight and just held him like he was a babe, tightly, securely, protectively.
The words, ‘I’ll fight for you,’ were a comfort and a promise that he had never gotten before.
But oddly enough, he completely believed in it.

Big Day - MV1
Pairing: Max Verstappen x singlemom!reader
Word Count: 1k+
Warning: dad!max, no use of y/n but daughters name is Aria, fluff. Part 2 to my girls
A/N: shorter than i thought it would be but still happy with it
F1 Masterlist / Masterlist
The weekend Max and Aria were looking forward to finally came. Aria's first time attending a grand prix. After finding out about her racing obsession Max promised to take her to a grand prix when the new season rolled around. What better grand prix to start with than the Monaco Grand Prix? At first, you were hesitant, not knowing how she would handle the crazy environment. It wasn't until Max took you to a few races and introduced you to Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen that it calmed your nerves. Seeing their kids in the paddock gave you all the security you needed, along with Max promising to have at least two Red Bull personnel with you both at all times.
The weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix rolled around. The streets slowly converted into the iconic track and fans flying in from all over the world. All of this made little Aria excited. Every time you were in the car Max would point out all the details to her, a smile spreading across her face every time.
You agreed with her going all three days. There was still hesitance on whether she would like the energy of the paddock so you wanted to slowly build it up for when race day arrived. Max was happy you agreed to allow her to come to all three days. He had big plans. First, he would show her everything from the motorhome to parts of the track and then have her sit in the car for the grand finale.
He walked in proudly with Aria in his arms and clutched your hand with his free one. He didn't even try to hide the big smile on his face. From scanning your passes to meeting the drivers passing by, Aria enjoyed every second. A big upgrade from the living room TV screen.
"Are you ready to see the car?" Max asked Aria as they inched closer to the red bull garage.
"YES YES YES!" She yelled out making the both of you chuckle.
When the car came into view she recognized it instantly. Letting out a squeal capturing all the attention of everyone in the garage. The team already knew you. Max made it a point at your first grand prix that you were to feel welcomed and that everyone recognized your face so you would be comfortable when he was off working. Looking around you saw the confused faces of his team. They were probably thinking. "who was this little girl?" "why is Max carrying her around?" "did he have a secret child?-No, they would have known about that, right?"
Max's voice broke you out of your thoughts, "Do you want to get in the car?"
With the biggest smile on her face and wide eyes, a soft tone came out "Can I?"
"Of course, you can baby."
"Tanks yous!" she said wrapping her little hands around his neck tighter, bringing him into a hug which he gladly gave in, melting into her hold. At that moment you could see him planning to bring her to every race.
"Anything for my biggest fan. Here, let's get you in." Before he placed her into the cockpit he kissed her cheek making her giggle. Once she was seated her eyes locked onto all the buttons and the different colors. She knew not to touch anything that wasn't her's so her hands were fidgeting with the Red Bull kit she wore, per Max's request.
"Mama! Look!" Aria looked up beaming with the biggest smile you've ever seen. That alone was worth all the worrying for the past few months. Smiling at the little girl, you pulled out your phone to take as many pictures as your camera roll could hold.
"I wanna race!" she exclaimed as her little hands were holding the steering wheel handles, the only thing that didn't have a button that she could touch.
Looking at Max, you could see how his eyes had softened. The smile on his face never flattered. He remembered his first day karting and how much fun it was just to race. If his little girl wanted to, he was going to make it happen.
"If you wanna race, I'll teach you. We can get you into karting if that is okay with mama?" He asked looking over to you with a pleading expression. Max never begged for anything, so for him to beg you to let your daughter race was a sight to see.
"plwese mama!" she used her puppy dog's, similar to Max's pleading eyes. How could you say no? You trusted Max and if this was going to make both of them happy, why not give it a shot?
With a small smile on your face, you gave in, "Okay baby, if you want to."
"yes!" Her little voice exclaimed turning to Max to give a victory hi-five.
After a few more minutes, Max pulled her out of the car and headed to the pit wall, the last stop on the little tour. You sat on one of the chairs while Max sat across from you with Aria still in his arms. If it were up to him, he wouldn't let her go at all. This was one of his favorite days and nothing could top it.
"tanks you dada," Aria mumbled into Max's neck. He turned to you with a shocked expression making you giggle.
For weeks when he wasn't around she would let it slip. Whether it was seeing him on TV or just mentioning his name. You didn't think there would be a day where she saw someone as a father figure, let alone calling them dad, but seeing how great he is with her you couldn't tell her to stop. It was her choice, after all. Silently, you told him it was okay with you.
"Anything for you my baby girl." He hugged her tightly, making the little girl giggle. Making you both his girls was the best choice he's ever made.

hello!! see your new hehe can u do headcannons on what yandere beasts would be like with a spouse, whos real gentleeeee
Yandere Beasts with their gentle spouses! 💖
Hello everyone! Doing one of my first requests! I hope u like this! ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Also reader here is GN so u can choose what gender this will take over!
Now unfortunately, due to the lack of information of the 2 other beast cookies, I would only do 3 which are the released cookies. I hope yall forgive me 😭🙏
Happy Valentine's my pookies!
Shadow Milk cookie
Ahh the master of deceit. What a surprise.
Now of course, with his spouse he very VERY loves would do anything for them.
The jester clown would do anything for his gentle spouse.
Everyone didn't expect the clown to have a spouse who is also very loyal to him.
The beast of deceit, having a spouse. Cookies wondered who even wanted to be with them? (me.)
His beloved spouse was not only small and petite that needed his protection, but also is gentle and is the only cookie that cared for him.
Now he is a jealous cookie.
He does NOT like male cookies that he doesn't trust or know.
This jester would do anything for his darling spouse.
He would kill
He would rob
He would destroy
All for his beloved spouse.
After the forks trapped them, he was worried. Scared.
Scared that another cookie might still his beloved spouse while he's sealed in the silver tree.
Worried that they might get hurt but he can trust Candy Apple cookie and Black Sapphire cookie, right?
Right and wrong.
Candy Apple cookie tried many ways to isolate or make her 'Master Shadow Milk cookie' hate his spouse but couldn't do so.
Candy Apple's jealousy just grew when she sees her master's smile grow wider when he sees his lovely beloved spouse.
Now Black Sapphire Cookie watch over his Master's spouse. He would make sure that Candy Apple cookie don't hurt them.
Or else not only Candy Apple cookie be doomed, but also him for not protecting them.
He would do anything for them. He would destroy everything. Cause chaos. Just for them.
Just to show his 'love' to them.
He would destroy everyone that has a problem agaidnt his spouse.
Have a bully? Sure no problem
Got someone liking them? He would NOT let the cookie that likes his spouse slide. His spouse is his only.
Got someone his spouse would like to get rid of? Sure he can make them into his puppets.
His spouse is only his and his only.
Burning Spice cookie
Now Burning Spice cookie would be the type of ruler with a LOT of spouses but of course, he has favoritism.
This specific spouse was the only soft cookie he has encountered in the Spice desert or Spice Kingdom.
All his other spouses were not the same as his chosen one.
They were all rude and mean, meanwhile his chosen one was gentle, soft, and kind.
This was what he wanted. Under all those destruction, he also needs some relief but couldn't do so since his other spouses acted so rude to him like how any ordinary spice cookies would be.
His favorite spouse is gentle, soft, nice, and despite his destructive personality, they would not leave him.
That is what made him want them more.
Their soft dough, cute dimples, soft cheeks, gentle and carefree personality made him go crazy.
He NEEDS to protect them.
No matter what. He needs to.
The Great Destroyer has needs too.
This Great Destroyer would go crazy for them.
He would destroy countless villages or cities just for them.
After the forks trapped them, he was cursing the witches for sealing him and his friends and most importantly, sealing him away from his beloved spouse.
He was angered. He tried the best he could to try and break free from the forks but the forks wouldn't budge.
Countless attempts of breaking free using his axe and nothing worked.
Now after he was sealed, he can only count on Nutmeg Tiger cookie to protect them and make them the ruler while he was gone.
Nutmeg Tiger cookie on the other hand, did the command. She knew too well what's gonna happen if she disobeys his command.
His other spouses whom he didn't seem to care about but his beloved spouse was angered.
They were all protesting, "Why didn't WE get a turn!?", "This is so unfair!", "let us do what we want since we're his spouses as well!"
Nutmeg Tiger cookie did nothing to them but use her guards agaidnt them.
Telling them if they ever hurted The Great Destroyer's beloved chosen spouse, he would destroy them with no second thought.
Meanwhile, in the silver tree, he couldn't stop thinking about his beloved one. He was actually scared.
Scared that his spouse mind get ended by his other spouses due to jealousy.
But back to the kingdom, they knew better than to mess with Burning Spice cookie.
And they came to the conclusion that his favorite spouse is his and his only.
Mystic Flour cookie
Ahh the cookie of Apathy.
She might not show it to her spouse but her spouse will know she actually loves them by how gentle she is with them.
She has not been gentle with any cookies yet since her corruption.
And yet, eversince she has found them, she felt the urgent need to protect them, to give them whatever they wanted, to love them like no one did to her.
She has always been caused chaos with the other cookies but after she married her spouse, she changed.
She felt an fluttering feeling she hadn't felt.
Now her spouse being the gentle cookie they are, always wanted her.
The cookie of Apathy wasn't expecting such thing.
She was gonna turn the cookie into flour when she couldn't bear to do it.
She has a feeling she has not felt before.
She vowed to protect her beloved spouse, bring what they needed for them.
She would turn any cookies and friends are NOT excluded into flour.
She would cause mass destruction and chaos in Earthbread just for them.
She would do anything for her gentle spouse.
She would love their kisses, hugs, and cuddles coming from them.
Now since those forks fell on her, she just knew she couldn't leave her beloved spouse all alone without her guard.
She desperately tried so hard to reach out for them but the seal closed.
Her beloved spouse was also reaching out as well.
Her days were filled in sorrow and sadness as the thought of her beloved spouse all alone out there, without protection filled her head.
Although she doesn't show it, she would cry a little as the thought takes over.
Her jam was also stripped away from her which made her feel a little weak but not weak enough for her to be considered as a normal cookie again.
She trusts that Could Haetae cookie would watch over her spouse and keep them safe until she has returned and until her soul jam has returned to her.
Now being with Cloud Haetae, they would try their hardest and best to keep their beloved Mystic Flour cookie's beloved spouse safe.
They worked for them, was there for them like Mystic Flour cookie.
With the reminder of the cookie of Apathy, they knew that her beloved spouse was needed to be guarded at all times and that was all they were doing.
Mystic Flour cookie let anyone know who her beloved spouse belongs to.
Hope yall like this! BTW I'm a retired wattpad writer cuz I lost all the motives 1 yr ago but now I think I'm feeling it again 😎
Anyways forgive me for my mistakes if I ever had some while writing this. Have a wonderful day!

Come to my city
Contains: Plot, strangers to one night stand, smut (eating pussy, fingering, p in v, bit of overstimulation)
Summary: You once watched the Sturniolo triplets religiously back in 2022, but college, work, and real life started to take up most of your time. Now in 2025, your younger cousin still being a fan, asks you to be her chaperone to their new tour in your city. An unexpected encounter with Matt after the show, gives you an entirely new reason to love them again.

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/04422b75dfef2ad6c9bb7fe2260e2b81/9c941500b1904de6-26/s540x810/51e9cf1bcdbc7b34d27a0d4ad3d854443c35c95a.jpg)
For most of your high school career, you worked overtime, taking as many night school courses, summer school courses, and extra credit projects as you could. This resulted in you graduating high school a year before your peers in 2021, but rather than spending your extra year without obligatory schooling on internships and working, you rewarded yourself by spending your gap year completely recreationally.
On the first week after graduation, you were perusing the YouTube homepage when a video by the “Sturniolo Triplets” appeared in the catalogue of video options.
Curious, you clicked it and to your surprise, you were laughing. It wasn’t often that a piece of media made you laugh whether it was a movie, show, or YouTube video— but the triplets brought you both comfort and amusement.In a matter of a month, you went from a casual viewer to a full blown fan. You set alarms at 5:30 on Wednesdays and Fridays, followed them on all their socials, and actually bought merch which was another first for you.
You spent nearly all of what was left of 2021 and entered 2022 immersed in the Sturniolo fandom, other hobbies of yours taking a secondary position. Looking back from where you are now, 17 year old you was a little embarrassing but happy nonetheless.
Your unchecked free time a came to a close when September arrived sooner than expected and responsibilities bombarded their way back into your life. First it was college enrolment, then a job, volunteering, and tutoring for extra money on the side, you couldn’t recall the last time you hung out with a friend, let alone sat down and watched an entire YouTube video.
By the time you reached midterms, the merch began to collect dust in the furthest parts of your closet and your YouTube account was forgotten. Even when you finally learned how to manage your time, you chose to spend the moments you had with nothing on your to-do list by reconnecting with the people in your real life that missed you.
During the summer of 2024, you were spending your well earned vacation at your family home when a few cousins decided to sleep over for the weekend. You were close with all of your family no matter how distant so of course you were excited to reunite with a few of your younger relatives, your favourite in particular was your 14 year old cousin, Andie.
After the usual “how’s school?” conversations with your Aunts, you took Andie up to your room to catch up on life.
The best thing about having younger cousins was knowing that you were somebody they looked up to, at a time in your life when all you did was compare yourself to your better accomplished peers, it felt nice to hang out with someone who thought you were the coolest person ever.
It took no longer than 5 minutes before you were gossiping as if you you were also 14 years old, you brought out your big girl nail polish and did her nails as you both talked about any and everything.
Eventually she made a comment that peaked your interest.
“and me and my friend were sending edits of these YouTubers we like and she said she wanted to start editing and I was like ‘do it’ but she was like ‘no what if I’m bad’ and I kept trying to tell her to just try” she rambled. “You guys are so cute, you’re a really good friend,kid.” you complimented before looking up at her with a smile slowly creeping on your face.
“What” she asked, extending the ‘a’, “So can I see the edits?” you teased.
“Oh my god no” she laughed, cheeks beginning to blush out of embarrassment.
“No please come on, no judgment I swear” you pried, wanting to know more about what your favourite little cousin likes to do for fun.
She paused for a moment before speaking again, “Have you heard of the Sturniolo triplets?” she said so quietly you were lucky that you even heard her.
“Uh of course I have? I watched them like everyday a few years ago” you admitted to make her feel more comfortable to share.
“Don’t lie” she joked, “Andie I’m being so serious, I think I still have their merch somewhere in the deepest darkest parts of my closet.”.
With a shocked look on her face she exclaimed “Merch? Can I please have it if you aren’t wearing it? Please I’ll do anything, when was it from?” she began her tangent.
You spent the rest of the night bonding, sharing your favourite videos as she caught you up to speed on what the triplets have been up to since you stopped watching them.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ce1d84ab8ffae54030ebf4ceedc68bd/9c941500b1904de6-be/s540x810/2d9ba313b193a431ceecaa282716eaf65044538e.jpg)

Now, it’s a year later, April 2025— two months since the triplets announced their 3rd tour.
You didn’t understand why they toured to begin with but since your cousin didn’t get the chance to go to the first two, and nobody else she knew was willing to take her to the newest one, she was texting your phone day after day, begging you to take her.
It’s not that you don’t want to take her, it’s that even after Andie shared her interest with you, you still feel like you’ve outgrown them a bit.
That mixed with knowing that there is a guaranteed chance that not one soul over the age of 16 will be in that venue, is enough to tell her to kick rocks regardless of how much you love her.
As you walk back to your dorm, you receive a text. Looking down at your phone it reads.
“Y/n plz just drive me. my friend saved up her allowance and bought us both tickets we justttttt need somebody to drive us there and home pleaseeeeeee”.
You look down at your phone and smile to yourself, this was an idea you can get behind, you didn’t have to go inside and deal with everything that come with that nor did you need to feel embarrassed being the only adult there.
“Done” you sent the message swiftly before resuming your podcast and walking the rest of the way back to your dorm.
The show was in a week and you were feeling nothing in particular, the only thoughts you had were how happy you were that your mini-me got to have a good time and you paid zero dollars.
Between studying, working and a few nights of drinking here and there, the show day was here before you knew it.
Looking into your closet, an almost laughable thought crossed your mind, back during your Sturniolo phase, you would’ve put on your best outfit if you had the chance to go to one of their tours— mostly for Matt if you were being honest. In your year of loving the triplets, they all made you laugh but Matt’s humour was effortless, combine that with his charm and the fact that, to you, he was the most attractive triplet, it was safe to say Matt was your favourite for more than a few reasons.
So when picking out the outfit you’d be wearing to sit in your car for two and a half hours, you figured it would be stupid to wear a semi-sexy cute outfit, so that’s exactly what you did.
Trying not to do too much as your little cousin is who your really there for, you wore oversized dark wash jeans low on your waist, shoelace as a belt, boxer briefs peeking out for fashion purposes of course, and a tight white cropped tank with the hem sitting right below your rib cage, short enough for your belly ring to shimmer when the light hits it.
Finally throwing on timberland regardless of the season, you make your way down to your care before navigating towards Andie’s house.
The drive from her house to the venue, located downtown in your city, the drive was over half an hour. Music and lighthearted conversation with the two now fifteen year olds, made you feel like a young teenager again, a feeling you didn’t mind every once in a while.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ce1d84ab8ffae54030ebf4ceedc68bd/9c941500b1904de6-be/s540x810/2d9ba313b193a431ceecaa282716eaf65044538e.jpg)
The girls had gone in two hours ago, you’re playlist was getting boring, and your ass was numb, so your best solution was to drive to the nearest food joint and grab something to eat before returning to your parking spot.
You had only been gone for 15 minutes but as you pulled into the driveway of the venue, you seen flashing blue and red lights following the siren sounds of an ambulance.
You park and step out of your vehicle to get a better view of what was going on, standing on your tip-toes, you catch a glimpse of your cousin and her friends standing, visibly in good health, by the ambulance talking to someone positioned behind the large vehicle at a spot where you couldn’t see. You run towards the girls.
“What’s going on? Are you safe? Im so sorry I went to get a bite to eat, I thought the show ended in twenty minutes” you’re frantically examining Andie’s body for any injuries, your judgment clouded by the unknowing of the situation.
“We’re fine” her friend snaps, looking ahead embarrassed, you turn your head with her to see who it was the girls were speaking to and you nearly flinch at the sight.
All three triplets were in front of you awkwardly, before you could ask any questions, Nick fills you in.
“These girls called out for help when somebody in the crowd fainted, we’re just thanking them, they’re really sweet girls” Nick states.
You look between the triplets and back up at the young girls “but you guys are okay right?” you ask once more, in the corner of your eye you see Matt exchanging looks between one of his brothers raising his hand over his chest, communicating how cute he found the interaction.
The small gesture stood out to you, it brought back memories of watching Matt and relating to his soft and tenderness, part of the reason you found him so cute way back when.
You and up straight and thank the triplets for staying close to the people you were supposed to be responsible for, but as you are about to lead your walking stresses towards the car, Andie calls out “Wait, we had merch we wanted you to sign” as she waves down the triplets.
Matt was the first to turn around and begin walking back, only then did Chris and Nick notice the change in course.
“Wait here!” she exclaims as she grabs her friends hand and skips towards the car, you and the triplets slowly make your way to join the girls while engaging in some small talk.
“So I’m guessing the shows over?” you ask the obvious in a shy attempt at a joke.
“Yeah, we closed it off really fast before everyone started to leave” Chris explains, taking the lead in the conversation.
You nodded, silently accepting that the conversation wasn’t going to be very fruitful. The four of you were now a standing a few feet from the car, watching the two girls rummage through the trunk looking for the two hoodies they wanted signed.
You were standing a step or two ahead of the boys when the girls turned around, panicked, “We can’t find the hoodies we brought” Andie cries, you can hear a lump forming in her throat.
“I told you guys to bring them before you left, are you sure you had them with you when you walked to the car” you ask, trying to de-escalate the situation.
Nick butts in your conversation after noticing that both girls looked like they’re about to cry “It’s okay, if you guys didn’t bring them, you can swing by the hotel and we’ll sign it then, we leave at like 8 tomorrow morning” you turn around, slowly blinking and smiling at Nick in gratitude.
The girls thank the triplets, you all say a polite goodbye and head back home.
When you dropped the girls off, your aunt was very clear that they were in for the night and it was way too late for them to tag along so you took it upon yourself to drive back on your own to get the hoodies signed.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ce1d84ab8ffae54030ebf4ceedc68bd/9c941500b1904de6-be/s540x810/2d9ba313b193a431ceecaa282716eaf65044538e.jpg)
The long drive right back in the direction finally concluded and you were stood inside the triplets hotel lobby, when exchanging information, Matt was the first to offer up his number for you to text when you found your way to the location.
“I’m here” you message, expecting one or all of them to run down to sign the articles of clothing and quickly depart, “2205” he replied within less than ten seconds of your message being sent.
From the perspective of someone who only knew the triplets personalities from 20 minute weekly videos in a car, it seemed out of character for Matt to invite a stranger up to their room but your mind didn’t falter from the goal of getting the hoodies signed, walking into the elevator your finger hits the 22nd button, the ascent upwards feeling slower than it was.
A large part of you was excited to privately meet the YouTubers that an older version of yourself would have killed to even exchange eye contact with, you arrived at the door and knocked.
It took longer for the door to open than it did for your text to be answered but as the wooden barrier creaked open, Matt was standing in front of you with a warm smile, the view of his entire room visible from just glancing over his shoulder— you notice that nobody else is in the room with him.
“Hi” you chirp, breaking the thick silence surrounding the both of you.
You look down at your arm wrapped in medium sized pink and leopard print hoodies for a moment before you resume eye contact, feeling slightly awkward at your lack of knowing what to do.
“Uhh” he drags, “My brothers are in their own rooms” he turns his upper body and head around to look back at his room.
“You can just wait here while I get them to sign these and then I’ll come back and give them to you” he suggested as more of a statement than an offer.
“Sounds good” you keep the verbal interaction short and sweet, paranoid that you’d embarrass yourself if you spoke for too long.
He steps aside to let you walk in before walking out, your legs moving on autopilot, you find yourself sat on the corner of the bed that had yet to be used, the corners still neatly tucked and sealed away.
Looking at the sofa, a charger and half drank bottle of apple juice displayed on the arm rest, it didn’t take a genious to gather that Matt had only just checked in, you started to feel like a burden but reassured yourself that you weren’t putting them through that much trouble.
Matt returns with the hoodies now folded in a pile he held in his arms, you stand up immediately but instead of handing you the clothes, he places them on a nearby dresser.
“Today was definitely on of the more eventful shows of our career” he smiles, eyes looking directly into yours.
This wasn’t the shy, anxious, and reserved Matt you remember every time you think back to your time as a fan.
“I know, I bet you’re tired, I’m so sorry again, for keeping you up just to sign the hoodies” everything you said seemed like you didn’t want to keep talking but in reality, you were unnerved by the proximity to a guy you stopped watching but never stopped finding attractive.
“Honestly I can’t sleep, my brothers though” he pauses to let out an airy chuckle before starting again “they’re out like lights, I had to wake them up to sign it” you’re about to apologize again before he stops you mid-thought.
“It’s not your fault at all, this kinda made my day a little better” his eyes never left yours.
“I don’t think I’m following” you state with a lighthearted tone, your best attempt at seeming less nervous and more friendly.
“Seeing the way you talked to your little cousin made my day. I know how it feels to be panicked and anxious and you handled it well” .
You smile at his compliment, “glad I could help make your day” you reply.
Matt didn’t waste a second before starting another sentence, not wanting the conversation to conclude, this was the most effort Matt has ever put into talking to a stranger but he realized almost immediately after meeting you that he needed you in ways he couldn’t say straight up.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ce1d84ab8ffae54030ebf4ceedc68bd/9c941500b1904de6-be/s540x810/2d9ba313b193a431ceecaa282716eaf65044538e.jpg)
He suggested you stay for a bit, there wasn’t much for him to do and he’d been having insomnia most of the tour up to this point.
You didn’t hesitate to accept the offer and two hours later, you had no intentions of leaving yet. Matt sat on the edge of the bed while you sat on the sofa facing him.
“Your cousin was telling us how you used to be a fan” he emphasizes the ‘used to’.
“I definitely was, but life gets in the way of stuff and I didn’t have the time, nothing personal” you finish your sentence but your mouth stays open, implying you have more to say, you do.
“You were my favourite y’know” you finally get out, now looking at the floor.
“Yeah?” Matt waits for you to confirm before making any further comments, his eyes glued to your face while you averted your gaze.
Once you look back up and nod he speaks once more, “What about me” he now has a cocky smile plastered on his face.
“Hmm, looking back, I couldn’t tell ya” you joke before back tracking “No, but I don’t know. It was probably how gentle you seemed, I felt the most comforted by you” .
He looks at you with an expression you can’t make sense of, no signal of intending to speak, you add onto your last sentence “Plus you’re the hottest” you had no idea what washed over you but in that moment, you felt like anything was better than silence.
“Stand up for a sec” he says bluntly, possibly looking like an idiot, you abide by what he says.
He jerks his chin to signal for you to walk towards him, once more, you listen and walk up to where you’re standing between his spread legs as he’s sat on the corner of the mattress.
“I can be gentle, I don’t always have to be” he says in a near whisper.
Rather than responding with your words, you understood what was being insinuated, so you lifted your arms from your side to rest your forearms over his shoulders, letting your hands rake his back.
His body responds to your touch, hairs on the back of his neck now upright, he let it a slow but heavy inhale while his eyes danced up and down your body.
“Can I touch you” he says in a whisper, wetting his bottom lip with his tongue before his eyes found their way back up to yours.
Just as he looked at you, you’re gaze now exploring the new perspective, his lower lip glistened in the dim lighting, the stubble sculpting his cheekbones and jawline, his hands gripping the edge of the bed as if he was fighting every joint , muscle, and artery, to not grab hold of you and do with you what he wanted.
Your eyes trailed from his long fingers to the prominent veins lacing the back of his hands, finally looking back into his stare that never broke free from yours, from where you were standing, his once blue eyes looked black from the dilation in his pupils.
“Mhm” you finally mumble, you too, now in need of him.
His hands slid off the bed and find the sides of your knees, slowly winding and sliding up your legs, wrists rotating so his fingers teeter between the outer and inner parts of your thighs.
Once his palms reach the top of your hips and his slender fingers are brushing against your waist, his thumbs move the fabric of your shirt up to your bra, as he begins placing kisses where your top stops and your skin starts.
The kisses were slow pecks at first, but as his mouth moves lower, he lets his tongue escape his mouth more and more with every kiss.
Once he reaches the waist band of your underwear peaking out from your jeans, he looks into your eyes while unbuttoning your pants, the sight floods your mind and pussy.
Your hands retreat from his back to squeeze his shoulders in a massage motion as you throw your head back, Matt pulls down your jeans to which you respond with stepping out of them and kicking them to an unknown and unregarded corner, Matt let’s out a chuckle before getting back to business.
He stands, hands gripping your hips harder to steer you to lay on his bed, with your legs draping off the side and him standing where you just were.
Your back arches, his hold on your hips travels to your abdomen to push you back down on the bed. Matt lowered himself onto his knees in front of you, head leaning over your lower half, he takes hold of the band of your underwear with his teeth and starts to drag them down with his bite.
“Matt” you breathlessly plead, you back curving as you strain your neck to look above your head while you lie there, you were scared if you looked down at Matt and watched what he was doing, you’d cum before either of you got the chance to get to what you were there for.
He stops mid-pull for a few seconds, now, you have to look down, you see him smiling with your underwear between his teeth, just about to come over your clit and finally reveal your juice filled clit.
Once he knew you were looking again, he pulls them down all the way, jaw falling slack at the sight of your wet cunt reflecting the glow from the lighting around.
Matt didn’t want a second wasted, he placed one solid kiss over your clit before lifting his neck to get one last look, then letting your pussy connect with his mouth.
His tongue and lips focused in on your clit, alternating between circling your pulsating pearl with his tongue, and sucking you with both his tongue and lips, now closer to red that before from the blood rushing to them as he used them to make your world spin.
You didn’t try to hold back the sounds of satisfaction, every time you moaned louder than the rest, you could feel him grin against your pussy for a moment before he resumed.
One of his hands left your hips to circle your entrance, the other finding your ass, squeezing it like it’s the only thing keeping him grounded, his tongue found a way to lick every inch of your heat before two of his fingers slowly slid into your pulsing hole. The pace in which they fuck you, picks up the louder your moans get.
The hand that was placed on your hip, releases its grip and slithers down the bed and you hear the sound of his belt unbuckle.
You can hear Matt begin moaning with you, you look down to see him touching himself with the now free hand while the other remained dedicated to pleasuring you.
You feel your orgasm bubbling up, bucking your hips up to get as much pleasure from his mouth and hands as possible, noticing this, Matt’s tongue laps your clit faster until your climax boiled over.
He doesn’t stop even after you cum, continuing his motions as you squirm under his mouth, eventually he unlatches from your pussy with a ‘pop’ sound.
Matt stands up and leans over to his side table to pull out a condom and hands it to you to let you slide it over his cock. After it’s on, you crawl to the centre of the bed but Matt stops you.
“No sweetheart, stand up” he asserts.
Standing up off the bed, he gently but firmly takes you by the arm in front of the floor to ceiling window, turning you by your shoulders so you’re standing there watching over the bright city lights, from behind, Matt speaks into your ear. “You can take your top off now ”.
You did just as he said, tossing your shirt to the side and looking over your shoulder, you feel Matt’s fully erect dick graze your back.
He pulls your lowered half back as he slides his dick in your slippery cunt, his other hand pushes your tits against the glass. He started off slowly, but the sounds of your sopping wet core, was too much for him to keep the ‘gentle guy’ act.
His arm reached around your waist, bear hugging our front as his hand held on your ribs, his other arm reaching over his head joining your tits in being pressed onto the plexiglass. The more you moaned the harder he went, jabbing your cervix, blurring the line between pleasure and pain.
Your moans went from loud to near screaming when his hand travelled from your ribs down to your swollen and pulsing clit, you let out a scream and he whispers “tell me how it feels”.
You try to formulate a comprehensible sentence but have to pause between thrusts “s-so good, too g-good Matt”, he trails kisses along you shoulder as his fingers work magic over your sensitive clit.
“I can’t h-hold it Matt” you manage to get out. He takes more than a second or two to respond, through choppy breathing he tells you to cum for him, the both of you hitting intense climaxes, grunts and moans bouncing off the thin walls.
You both stand there for a few moments before he pulls out of you, you remove your forehead off of the now fogged up mirror, drippings from the condensation of your breaths. You turn around expecting him to do the same, but instead he stays facing you, grabbing your jaw and tonguing you, only letting you go after he’s satisfied.

The night ended not long after that, your body being just what he needed to fix his insomnia.
Matt came out of the washroom to see you putting your shoes on and grabbing your pile of signed merchandise.
“Don’t lose my number pretty, I think I’ll be visiting this city a lot after tour, I like the people and stuff y’know” he says to the back of your head while you walk towards the door.
As you place one step out of the door, you turn around to look at his face “Wasn’t planning on it”
You swiftly close to door, wanting to get the last word. As you sit back in your car, you pull out your phone and watch their most recent YouTube video in the silence of the empty vehicle.
An hour later you were laid back in your bed, feeling a bit of insomnia, you figured it was only right to touch yourself to the memory of the last few hours.

THIS!!
April is my comfort character (and yes, I also love Megan Fox, I’m not complaining). She’s so sweet, I adore her. I’ve always seen her as a mother/big sister figure to the turtles, and that dynamic is pure gold.
BUT GOD— Bayverse April had SO much potential for real character development.
And what did they do with her? Oh, right, they added that super necessary shot of her butt in the first movie. Wow. Such a great contribution to the plot. Absolutely essential. I hate how they sexualized her.
Like—HELLO?? This girl lost her entire family in a single night. Her father died in a fire, and the only thing she had left were four little turtles and a rat. And not only did she save them from the flames—she freed them, let them live, and loved them from the very start.
While anyone else would have run away, April treated those five mutant experiments as her family, even as a child.
Don’t tell me she didn’t feel incredibly guilty when she left them in the sewer.
Don’t tell me she didn’t cry in her bed, wondering if they survived.
Oh God, my girl.
And then she grew up admiring SACKS, only to find out that he was responsible for her father’s death.
She also grew up believing it had all been a dream, that the turtles and Splinter had died that night. Until one day, years later, she sees them again.
Where is April’s emotional arc? Where is her trauma?
You’re telling me she felt guilty when she accidentally led Sacks to the lair???
And the worst part? That Shredder showed up and almost killed Splinter.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.
AND ON TOP OF THAT, you’re telling me that by the second movie, Raph DIDN’T teach her how to break skulls??
LMAOOOO. Be serious.
Better yet, you’re telling me they cut scenes between April and Raph??
WHAT.
We need MORE Bayverse April content. I’m on my knees. Begging.
So YES, I’m joining the cause.
Here, have some more headcanons for our sweet April <3

April is absolutely obsessed with yellow. It’s her color, her essence, her vibe. But not just any yellow—her yellow. If you see a piece of clothing in that shade in her closet, chances are she bought it in multiple versions: jackets, blouses, heels… even phone cases.
April is an honorary turtle, whether she likes it or not. She’s their human sister, and you can bet they’re always causing chaos in her apartment. Pizza stains on the couch? Of course. Mikey hanging from the ceiling fan? Don’t ask. Donnie trying to install some weird tech in her toaster? Definitely.
April and Donnie are the ultimate geek disaster siblings. There’s no way she understood all the information Donnie dumped on her about Baxter Stockman in the second movie the first time. God, I know she was a fan of him too before realizing he was insane. She gets excited over the same nerdy topics as Donnie—though sometimes, she just nods and pretends to understand.
April knows Mikey has a crush on her. She’s not stupid, it’s so obvious that UGH— but she doesn’t want to hurt him, so she pretends she never noticed. To her, Mikey is like her little brother. She gives him hugs, ruffles his bandana affectionately, and tells him he’ll find someone amazing one day.
Leo respects her more than he lets on. He doesn’t trust many people outside of his family, but April earned that place. When he’s stressed, sometimes she’s the only one who can calm him down with a simple “Hey, breathe. We’ll figure it out.”
April drives like a lunatic. They trust her to get them out of dangerous situations, but every time she gets behind the wheel, EVERYONE holds on like it’s their last day on Earth. Raph yells insults, Mikey enjoys it way too much, Donnie calculates survival odds in his head, and Leo just accepts his fate.
When she found them again, she spent nights watching videos of their childhood. Sometimes she cried, sometimes she laughed, but mostly, she wondered what her life would’ve been like if she had never lost them… or her father.
After the first movie, Raph taught her how to kick ass. Oh my God, YES. Though she had to wait for him to take the initiative because she didn’t want to be a burden (she never would be). Now she can take down a guy twice her size without hesitation.
THIS WOMAN FACED SHREDDER ALONE HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR. WOAH. She’s got nerves of steel.
That’s why she’s 100% protective of her family and loved ones. Yes, even Vern. Especially Vern, because she knows he’d probably be dead without her.
If someone says anything even remotely offensive about them, April is already throwing daggers. Say one more word, and this woman will POUNCE. She’s mastered the “watch me destroy you with a single sentence” technique in interviews and doesn’t hesitate to use it.
She’s incredibly studious and takes her job seriously. I’m sure she had to fight to stop being seen as just a pretty face. She probably had to deal with way too many condescending remarks in her career, and every time someone tried to belittle her, she responded with cold, hard facts.
She can go hours without sleep when researching something. One time, Leo had to literally take her laptop away because she hadn’t rested in two days.
She has a special connection with Splinter. He’s like a father figure to her, and even though she doesn’t always talk about her emotions, there are moments when Splinter simply serves her a cup of tea and says, “I’m proud of you, April.” And that’s enough.
Her apartment is always a mess, but somehow, she knows exactly where everything is. Donnie tried organizing it once. Big mistake.
Mikey once took her skating through the sewers, and while she screamed like crazy at first, she ended up laughing like never before. It was the highlight of her week.
She’s an absolute fan of heroes and comics. And I know she loves Star Wars. (I’m sure Leo does too, but he just pretends he doesn’t.) Ask her anything about it, and she’ll hit you with incredibly specific information and bibliographic references. Donnie and Mikey once tried to test her knowledge, and they ended up with their heads stuffed full of facts about the original trilogy, Legends, and why Han shot first.
Absolutely, she buys/gives merch to Leo. And to the turtles, too. If you see Leo wearing a black hoodie with the Jedi Order logo, that was April. If Mikey suddenly shows up with a glow-in-the-dark Deadpool t-shirt, that was also April. Raph with a Punisher jacket? Yep, April.
I’m convinced the wardrobe change for the turtles in the second movie was all her doing. I mean, Donnie wearing solar panels as a loincloth… we all cried. April made sure they were dressed more appropriately, but also in a way that fit each of their styles. Mikey was the hardest because he liked everything (“BROOO, what about this? Or this? OR THIS?”), and Leo only agreed because she assured him that “Jedis also evolved their armor.”
No doubt she expands Splinter’s tea pantry. If there’s a rare, expensive, and hard-to-find Chinese tea, April has already gotten it for him—in three different versions. Mikey and Raph don’t understand how there can be so many differences between “grass-flavored teas,” but she and Splinter can spend hours analyzing them.
Yes, she supplies them. Clothes? Yes. Food? Yes. When she saw their fridge stocked with nothing but soda and pizza boxes, she nearly cried. Now, half of it is still soda and pizza, but at least there’s some fruit and protein.
She shares a love for bonsais with Splinter and Leo. It’s their relaxation activity together. But ironically, I know this woman has killed a cactus at least once. Mikey never let her live it down.
You cannot convince me this woman hasn’t gotten at least one tattoo. She loves body art and shares that interest with the brothers. I’m sure she let at least one of them tattoo her—probably a design by Mikey. Something small on her wrist or behind her ear, with a meaning only they understand.
Leo and Donnie made sure everything was 100% safe and sterile. Donnie literally turned Mikey’s space into a mini improvised tattoo studio. “God, April, if you’re going to do this, at least don’t die of an infection”.
Mikey was way too excited. “BROOO, THIS IS ETERNAL ART!” He made at least five sketches before she finally chose one.
She and Raph have a tradition of watching UFC fights together. He yells like he’s in the arena, and she just watches with a beer in hand, completely unfazed—until she sees the perfect kick and mutters, “Shit, that was brutal.”
Even though she helps them in their crime-fighting, she keeps trying to remind them not to forget how to live. Sometimes they show up at her place expecting to plan their next mission, only for her to force them to watch movies, play video games, or just hang out like a normal family. Well… as normal as four giant ninja turtles and an infiltration-expert reporter can be.
Donnie has taught her basic hacking. Not at his level, but enough to sneak into certain databases without getting traced. This is a problem, because now, whenever she wants a big scoop for work, Donnie gets a message like: “Hey, hypothetically speaking… if you had to break into TCRI Industries’ private files… how would you do it? Just curious.”
If Mikey is sad, April notices before anyone else. And even though she can’t give him what he truly wants (her romantic love), she always makes sure he knows how much she loves and values him. She’s the first to hug him, to make him laugh with a dumb joke, and to remind him that someday, he’ll find someone who loves him as much as he loves the world.
If she ever disappears, she’s probably at a nerd convention dressed as a Jedi. Leo would pretend not to be interested, even as she tries to convince him to come with her.
I mean, in full cosplay, who would even realize he’s an actual mutant turtle and not just a Jedi-Hulk crossover?
Obviously, Leo said no.
“April, it’s a public event. I can’t risk it.”
“Leo, there are guys in Iron Man suits that look straight out of the movies, and no one questions them. Literally no one would look at you twice.”
“No.”
“Coward.”
In the end, Mikey did go with her, dressed as a Mandalorian. He ended up signing autographs because everyone thought he was a hyper-realistic animatronic.
She has a theory that turtles don’t have actual fingerprints.
After multiple failed attempts to get them to use touch ID, she concluded that their prints are too irregular for normal sensors to read. Donnie took this personally when he tested it and failed. “This is impossible. My hands are scientifically perfect.”
She has the power to calm Raph down when he’s too fired up. Not with words. Just with a look.
When he’s about to lose control, she gives him the stare. The one that says “No. Don’t do it.”
And… well, he doesn’t always listen, but at least he hesitates.
She knows exactly how to make Leo agree to a plan that isn’t his. Just make him think it was his idea. It’s an art she has perfected.
“It would be great if someone designed a strategy that included this and this…”
“Hmm… maybe we could—”
“That’s an excellent idea, Leo! I knew you’d think of it!”
“…You’re manipulating me, aren’t you?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
She has her own underground information network. Being a reporter and the turtles’ best friend has taught her how to move in the shadows. She has contacts everywhere—hackers, informants, low-ranking cops who hate corruption… She knows how to get intel without leaving a trace.
If she needs to go undercover, she does it with ridiculous disguises. No sleek, sexy black suits—she goes full grandma mode with awful wigs, oversized glasses, and the most unflattering clothes possible. Nobody suspects the clumsy woman who drops her purse every five seconds.
One time, Raph took her to train with Casey. And dear God, this woman fought for her life not to fall flat on her face on the ice. Raph mocked her mercilessly until she threw a snowball at his face.
She’s the only human on Earth who immediately understands Donnie’s jokes. Sometimes, she even finishes them before he does. Mikey considers this a scientific abomination beyond comprehension.
She drives like a maniac but has never crashed. It’s a miracle. She’s come dangerously close to hitting poles, jumped between moving cars, pulled off maneuvers that defy physics… but her record remains flawless. The cops can’t catch her if they can’t keep up.
Raph nicknamed her “ferrous” after watching her stand her ground against Shredder.
“You’re tougher than most people I know. You don’t break.”
She won’t admit it, but that nickname makes her smile a little every time she hears it.
She’s a fan of rock and alternative music. She has a playlist for everything. Training with Raph? Metallica. Investigative work? The Killers. Speeding away from the Foot Clan? AC/DC.
She does not fear Baxter Stockman. She did for about 0.2 seconds the first time she saw him. Then he opened his mouth, and she realized she could manipulate him into spilling information. Spoiler: she did.
If anyone hurts her turtles, she becomes a vengeful demon. She’s not a fighter, she doesn’t have super strength, but she’s smart and completely unafraid to get her hands dirty. She can make someone’s life a living hell with just a few phone calls and some well-done investigative work.
She’s been kidnapped so many times she doesn’t even panic anymore. The first time: “OH MY GOD!” The fourth time: “Okay, what’s the plan this time?”
If Casey calls her “babe” at the worst possible moment, she hits him. Not seriously, but just hard enough on the arm to make him understand that now is not the time.
Vern is only alive because she tolerates him. She genuinely cares about him, but there are days when, dear God, that man is unbearable.
If any of the turtles are injured, she’s the first to act. She’s not a doctor, but she’s learned enough from Donnie to perform advanced first aid. She’s also the only human strong enough to hold Raph up when he’s stumbling from an injury.
Mikey uses her as his human meme reference.
“APRIL, I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MEMES WITH YOUR FACE.”
“Mikey, I swear if you Photoshop me into another Shrek meme…”
“…Oops.”
One time, she beat Raph in a pizza-eating contest. He swears he was just having an off day. She never lets him forget it.
If Splinter says he approves of her, then she’s family. And if anyone messes with her… They mess with the turtles.
that’a all bye <3
bayverse! April headcanons
because i hate the way megan fox was sexualised in the movies i wanna give her more personality than just being hot and smart 😭 i heart u bayverse April
- she thrifts! not just expensive 'real vintage' designer labels but everything, she also finds clothes than can be easily upcycled and tweaked for the boys. Her signature color is yellow so you KNOW she has rare and whimsical pieces she collects in her wardrobe
- speaking of which; she sews! Mikey often rips or breaks his stuff (like shoes and shirts) and hes always giving her bits and pieces to fix up. As much as Donnie is a tech wiz, Aprils expertise lies in the art of DIY! shes tried to teach Don how to sew but ironically its one of the few things he cant crack
- shes a stem nut, OBVIOUSLY! her and Don bond the most over new technology and the advancement of science and digital technology. her and Don made her a pc from scratch and its one of her most precious memories
- April has a really bad sweet tooth, when the guys get pizza for the rare nights in, she's reaching for Mikeys candy stash for sure (she makes sure to replenish it with all their shared faves)
- her favourite candy is anything sour! but actually sour, we're talking throat numbingly sour to the point where at the end of the bag all you taste is blood 💀 it freaks everyone out lmao
- she has a masters in journalism and a degree social sciences, its so important to her to give visibility to the stories rarely talked about. Shes very dedicated to her profession and genuinely gets mad that all vern cares about is attention from fans and the camera
- April is also very passionate about nutrition and fitness! she goes total big sister mode when the turtles neglect their protein intake especially with how big and physically demanding their jobs are. a few times she's tried to teach Leo how to cook for his brothers and hes just about learned how to not burn eggs on toast but shell be damned if she starts cooking for 4 6ft men 😭 respectfully not her job!
- she's incredibly protective of her friends, whoever they may be, even Vern. she doesn't take lightly to disrespect and she WILL trash talk you to silence if you make anyone she cares about feel less than
- when she was younger she wanted to be a zoologist or anthropologist. Like her dad, she's always had a love for science and research, but she loved animals so much as a kid and it crushed her when she realised her father was experimenting on animals
- she feels personally responsible for the turtles and Splinter, she visits them atleast once a night, whether on face time or in person. the fact that they feel theyll never be accepted in society weighs heavy on her heart. she wishes things were different
- she knows Mikey has a crush on her, but she doesn't know how to let him down gently and honestly doesn't wanna open that can of worms, so she just pretends she doesn't notice his very desperate flirting
- sleeper build april. SLEEPER BUILD APRIL. people treat her like shes fragile just because she's beautiful but shes also incredibly strong with amazing endurance. i mean hello?! SHE CAN RUN IN HEELS. thats badass
- she loves game nights w the turtles and Casey, she loves playing MK and her go-to character is ofc Mileena (goated and no im not biased)
- she may or may not have a dedicated collection of disguises for super sleuthing and recon. shes very proud of it and will give a tour if asked
- she wants to learn ninjitsu, just doesn't know if she should ask or wait to be asked. she feels awkward and sometimes wonders if its not her place, even though in reality Splinter would be happy to train someone so dedicated to justice.
- her favourite drink is banana protein smoothie!! the lair has a smoothie just for her 😭 they have to hide it from Mikey before he gets back into his liquid pizza phase again
- she likes hero comics/shows (like 2012 leo!). Naruto was her childhood and its kinda beautifully ironic that she's like a ninja by proxy now
thats all for now! its been like 5 years since ive written headcanons so sorry if the format is boring, lmk if you want more headcanons! ok bai

Science Cont Yapping
Character Concepts, Ideas, Possible things, oh my ! Mostly putting this out here to discuss my thought process, you can have a look into my mind if you'd like and lmk what you think !
OK ! So I think I've sorted how I'm going to go about the science continuity ! I'm thinking that I'll split it into two (like how IDW Robots in Disguise and MTMTE take place during the same time but follow two different storylines and eventually fit back together). So we have Science AU Ambition - following Jetfire, Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Perceptor stuck on the moon of Ambition trying to accomplish their mission (finding a way to restore Cybertron + returning home)
Science AU Cybertron - an anthology following various different characters as they struggle to fight a war on a dying Cybertron
Brainstorm and Prowl start out on Cybertron but eventually make their way to where Jetfire and the others are.
I'm still trying to keep this on a small scale but omg it's so hard when I want to do so much and there's so many characters and moving parts.
But here are some fun stuffs; character concepts !
Women have arrived ! I heavily changed Lifeline from her G1 version.
Design wise; I drastically changed her, I wanted to give her a bigger build, I think I could've definitely pushed it a bit more but I want Quickslinger to have a vastly different and heavier build compared to her.
here's what I have in mind for Lifeline;
She works with her bodyguard and assistant Quickslinger and their job is to stabilize critically injured bots on the battlefield so they can be brought back to the base's Medbay, First Aid and Red Alert can handle the rest.
Lifeline is their superior while Ratchet is away and she's more experienced than First and Red. First Aid wants to be a field medic as well but Lifeline keeps telling him no, mostly because he's too inexperienced and she's low-key scared something is going to happen to him because well. They lost Pharma and Ambulon.
In terms of personality, Lifeline is more serious and exhaustion from working has drained her. Fighting is not her forte nor is it something she wishes to participate in, but if push comes to shove she'll immobilize her opponents with the electromagnetic pulse in her palms or she'll just sick Quickslinger on them. She's desensitized to a lot of the horrors on the battlefield and someone needs to give her a paid vacation asap.
Oh also Minerva will be here eventually she's another medic, she mostly works with making the medicine.
Of course, Miss Arcee is here too, she goes on scouting patrols with Bumblebee and Hotrod and they're besties. I imagine they all have a more sibling dynamic with one another.
Arcee I imagine is a mix of Cyberverse and Earthspark in terms of personality, she's chipper, fun to be around, and shows her affection through punching. Arcee has a big heart and that is both a strength and weakness, she would not hesitate to throw herself in recklessly into combat if it meant protecting her allies. She's more a melee type of fighter and uses her speed to her advantage. I kept her design relatively simple and kept her pinks light since I wanted Elita-1 to have darker pinks.
Hear me out guys,, what if Thundercracker was an Autobot ? I'm biased but PLEASE !! THUNDERCRACKER !!
I changed his outlier ability to be more electrical based. As for his defection from the Decepticons.. I imagine he was nonaligned for a while but realized he can't survive alone, then Bumblebee's scouting team found him on a patrol and brought him in. His place on the Elite Trine has been replaced by Slipstream, so it's now Starscream, Skywarp and Slipstream. Haven't worked out the details but I'll cross that bridge when I get there, but they're pissed about Thundercracker, trust.
Thundercracker works with Windblade and Cosmos as Autobot Air Support.
moving forward I do want to try and push bot body types more I FEEL LIKE I SUFFER A LOT FROM SAME BOT SYNDROME I have to change that-- I'm better about it when I'm working with organic characters but something about mechas is just such a different learning curve

I GIVE ZERO SHITS IF IT'S JANUARY
I REFUSE TO WAIT ON FEBRUARY 💘
So how would valentines day go for The main four in tpof (Mason, Fox, Celia, and Derek) ? + (Matt, Sal, Rhino, Kangaroo, and YOUR VERSION OF Cain bc poopy EP cain sucks?) ♥︎
congrats i waited til february lmao
Mason (assuming you some how miraculously survive and he romances you):
Nice romantic evening in the woods together!
Enjoying the sunset, nice quiet strolls together
Of course the most stunning sketch of you and carving the two of you into little wood figurines, perfect over the fire art piece
Heart meal fit for the two of you (cooked by none other than him)
Either the nastiest sex with his hunting knife to your throat or cuddling until he finally starts snoring (you can hear his snore for miles)
Fox:
There's gonna be a show...just saying (only fair for all his fans)
He at least gets you a gift! Something cute for you to wear or an adorable plushie for you to hold in your cell
A warm bubble bath after you (hopefully) survive his stream, he scrubs away all the blood until the water itself is red
Movies and snacks!!! He already fucked you (or at the very least got his rocks off) so the rest of the night he takes it easy with you. Besides, even a star needs a treat!
Celia:
It's a split. She's either with you or her husband trying to keep up some normalcy
Wine and talking, once the buzz finally starts kicking in so does sloppy make outs and groping
It's either sex and drunk fondling, or getting the end of her heel kicked into you
She doesn't really like Valentine's day, it ends in disappointment for her. But hey, at least she can drunkenly rant to you while she makes you shove a box of chocolates into your face
Derek:
Hell. If he's not going out with you, then sure as hell has got himself a hot date
Or he's spending the day really torturing you and making a mess
He still gets your a gift! It's lingerie (really a gift for himself)
Honestly the one time he brings in sex toys (other than to overstimulate you and humiliate you)
Matt:
What can I say? Normal Valentine's day
Dinner, gifts, kissing, all the stuff normal people do
Of course he spoils you with some dessert and chocolates <3
If he's utterly ashamed about being seen in public with you then he'll just stay at home with you
Plus he knows where to get the good champagne to celebrate
Salvatore:
Depends on who you are. His wife? Dinner, gifts, treated like a princess (of course you have to pay for all this with letting him have as many rounds as he wants with you)
Brags to all his friends that he was plans for V-day, especially the ones who don't do anything for the holiday
His whore? Yeah be lucky for him to even take you out to dinner. He's just there to do lines off you, beat you, and cum on you
Rhino (assuming you don't mind kids):
Its usually something super fun, like an amusement park or an arcade (it's mostly so his daughter can come along and not feel excluded by her dad having a date)
Still, it's fun. Nice dinner included! You all go to a sit down restaurant and eat together
Once she's put to bed and you two finally have some privacy, bro is giving the best fingering before getting freaky
He's such a gentle giant you really should marry him
Kangaroo:
Like Rhino, it's usually something fun! But it's with the intent that the both of you can enjoy it
Hatchet throwing, paintball, there's usually a competitive edge to it
Whoever wins gets to do whatever filthy act they crave that night!
It always ends with his tongue inside you, just saying
Bro is a bit TOO good with his tongue
SPEACIAL BONUS!
Cain:
The biggest romantic ever! He's serenading you with love songs, poems, he's literally like cupid! It's basically his job to be a romancer!
Valentine's is literally his favorite holiday
He's so good with words, he's all about seducing you and truly romancing you before being intimate ("making love" as he says it)
V-day isn't complete without slow dancing with you to a song you both love (something vintage and sweet)
Hurting you and being hurt is the greatest form of love and affection to him! Pain is just so much more intimate than his poems or his cards or his flowers
#tpof#headcanon#🌸flower headcanons#the price of flesh#boyfriend to death#btd#fox tpof#tpof fox#tpof ren#derek tpof#derek goffard#tpof derek#salvatore goffard#dereks dad#tpof celia#tpof mason#mason tpof#tpof rhino#tpof kangaroo#HAPPY V-DAY!!!!

Beyond Business-part 13//t.c.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d9633e4277704c1b8614f5dd9ff98170/7d9e6ca8b0e945ac-1c/s640x960/3600d618f621af27f418791da810837addc7214c.jpg)
He told you not to look at posts about him and Kylie online. But something possessed you to look. It was something obsessive inside of you.
After the A Complete Unknown premiere in Paris, he and Kylie had a ‘secret’ date with loads of paparazzi to capture them entering and leaving the restaurant and the hotel afterwards.
It hurt you to see him holding her hand, leading her through the crowd of flashing lights and photographers shouting at them.
Kylie wore a black, skintight jumpsuit which showed lots of cleavage. She seemed to be almost posing for the cameras, smiling directly at one of them. She looked so proud to be on Timothée’s arm.
You couldn’t help but think that that should be you. That she didn’t deserve him, even if they were just pretending. You hated seeing it. You had a horrible feeling inside when you saw them together. You didn't recognize your Timmy.
He didn’t even have to kiss her or look her, it was just the simple fact of her touching him, sitting close to him in the car, it just made your skin crawl. Maybe you were too jealous for this to work.
At least you had a couple days to clear your head before you saw Timmy again. You decided to go home, to see your parents, have a home cooked meal with your siblings. You needed to come down to earth, out of Timothée Chalamet’s orbit for just a moment.
Your first night in your parents’ house, he tried calling you. But you weren’t ready to talk. You couldn’t be his girlfriend at this moment, or his assistant.
He left voicemails and text after text, “baby call me please.” “need to hear your voice.” “miss you so much. I wish you were here.” So many sweet things. But you couldn’t give in. You loved him, of course you did. But you had been feeling way too much and needed a break from it all. You felt like you didn't know yourself anymore.
……..
In all, you spent a week away. You let Timmy know that you needed a vacation, and he granted you the time off. But that was all the conversation was about. You didn’t let it get any more personal than that, despite his desperate attempts.
You knew that he was probably hurting too, with you going away so suddenly. But you did your best not to think about it.
But it was finally time to go back. You felt refreshed, and level-headed about the situation. You were ready for whatever was to come.
You knocked on his door on your first Monday back to work. There was no answer. You waited a moment, then let yourself inside. “Timmy?” you called. There was no sign of him, or any sign that he had been roaming around the apartment at all that morning.
The place was unkempt. Take out containers and beer bottles scattered about. You started to really worry. You called his name again with no response.
You checked his bedroom, and there he was, sleeping like a rock.
You shook him, gently, “Timmy, it’s time to start work for the day.” you whispered.
He grumbled, clenching his eyes, then opening them. He sighed when he looked up at you. “You’re here, finally.”
“Are you okay?”
He scoffed, “Fuck no, I’m not okay.” he raised up in the bed, his eyes red and more tired looking than ever. "My girlfriend leaves me high and dry for a fucking week. Do you not understand how bad I need you?”
“I do. But I needed time to take care of myself.”
“Well, what happened?”
“I couldn’t stand the pictures of you Kylie on your romantic date in Paris.”
He rolled his eyes, “I’ve told you not to pay attention to any of that.”
“Oh fuck off, Timothée, and put yourself in my shoes! How would you like it if some other man was parading me around across the world? Do you really think that I want you to be with another woman half the time?” you didn't want to raise your voice at him, but you couldn't help it.
“It’ll come to end eventually, I swear it will! I’m sorry that you’re upset.” he calmed down, reaching to grab your hand.
“Do I not have the right to be?”
“Yes, you do. I just don’t know what I can do about it right now."
“You can choose. It’s her or me.”
“You know that I choose you.”
“No. It’s me or her. You don’t get me in private and Kylie Jenner in public. Not anymore. I don’t want to be anyone’s secret, not even yours. I can't keep putting you before myself.”
“Please, don’t do this.” he pleaded, his eyes becoming glassy.
“I love you, but I can’t let you consume me like this. I can’t work for you anymore.” The tears were coming, you sniffled.
“I don’t give a shit about you being my assistant, I just want you.”
“If you break it off with her.”
“I-"
You shrugged, “See? You can’t give her up. I don’t know if it’s the fame or the sex,-"
He cut you off sharply, “I don’t have sex with her!”
“She is sex, Timothée. It’s about how masculine you are if you’re dating her. That's what it's all about. People take you seriously now that you’ve bagged her.”
“What’s gotten into you?”
“I’ve had time to think about this, that’s all. And I think I understand. You’ll never have a normal relationship now. It’s not for you, Timothée.”
“Why do you keep calling me by my full name? Are you..." he looked down, swallowing hard as a tear fell from his swelling eyes, “are you breaking up with me?”
You gasped, hearing the words out loud was something you hadn’t prepared for. You put your hand out, wanting to soothe him, to run your fingers through his hair, to hold him. But you couldn’t. Slowly, you retracted your hand. “I just don’t see how it could ever really work. Not if you’re involved with someone else. I want someone who doesn’t have to hide me.”
Timmy took a deep breath, nodding, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” he put his head on his hands.
You wiped your own tears away, “I’m going to go now.” you said.
He looked at you again, “Okay.”
As you started to walk out of his bedroom, he spoke again.
"Y/n, I want you to know that everything I've ever said to you was real. I love you. You've meant more to me than you could ever understand. So, thank you."

El's season plot wasn't Mike telling her he loved her any more than Will's was the painting itself. Both were treated as pretty important for about three episodes and then brought back at the end. That was A plot, and one that contributes to their overall story for sure. But the pacing itself of both plots proves them more of setups for season 5 resolutions than plots themselves (and, of course, what does that say for the one that's "resolved", but I digress).
They are smaller pieces of a larger story, displacing their season plot to be something else. We want Will to give Mike the painting and he does. We want Mike to tell El he loves her and he does. But those are very straight forward setup/payoffs, and not kept up with enough to be true plotlines for Will or El - Mike maintains a plot with it but only he does. Will's is about acceptance, achieved when Jonathan accepts him, set up and maintained by lines like "what if they don't like the truth" and "sometimes you feel like a mistake". El's was about leaving Brenner, the connection being that feeling unlovable makes it harder to leave your abuser.
But if their plots were unrelated, then the other things truly were just setup. Every time Will and Mike have a romantic seeming scene, it was not season 4 buildup - as many of us were confused in volume 2 thinking it had been - but seeds planted for future seasons. It was not required for the key arc of the season, nor was Mike's "I love you" curfuffle with El.
Will could have not had/addressed his feelings for Mike and simply struggled with acceptance of his sexuality and El could have had Mike tell her he loved her but argue that she didn't believe him because she was a monster and he must be lying - there was no requirement for him to actually support her belief and it could have been an opportunity to show just how deep in it she was.
But instead, they gave Will and Mike repeated intimate one on ones and had Mike fail to tell El he loved her. When Will's resolution was with Jonathan and El's with Brenner.
So if those plots were unnecessary to everyone but Mike's plotline at this timing, why include either of them at all? What is their purpose to him? Well, exactly the reason I realized Byler was endgame in the first place: the synching up and therefore implied causation between his moments (and conflict) with Will and his issues with El.
Mike could have had a plot that had nothing to do with either of them and the themes and climaxes of both of their season plots would have stayed the same. Mike NOT being able to tell El he loves her and he and Will both fighting and having intimate one-on-ones after were both for HIS plot, confirmed as both by the climax scene itself, which includes both. Because the setup has to do with both of them, there was no version of that climax scene that was just about El. It was always Will prompting him and him turning to El, because it was the culmination of his plots with both of them.
But, of course, you can't have two plots. You can only have one. And we've established that both El and Will's relationships with him were NOT their season plots. Which means that his inability to tell El he loves her and his conflict and following heart to hearts (including those unrelated to El entirely) with Will were ONE plot. ONE plotline that meant ONE thing as it can only culminate in ONE event.
They aren't Will and El's plotlines with Mike oblivious and only having El's. Because they aren't Will and El's plotlines to begin with. People understand that characters only get one. They just didn't take the jump to understand that closeness with Will and distance from El CAN be one. (They do, of course, understand this, though. Because in season 3, everyone knew that his issues with Will were a direct cause of his relationship with El. Nobody clocks that when it's swapped though. But the structure confirms it).

COKO.
As SOON as I saw so many people freaking out about your newest update I KNEW this was going to be a GOOD one~
Broooo I was NOT WRONG.
Let’s begin. :)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6475b8c54cf3838898ef0300560f1420/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-06/s540x810/c53abdcea56ec4e80d49fe174e23e30cf860d3c7.jpg)
The biggest question tumbling around in my mind like a drunk hummingbird is… Why Raph? Why is Kendra having a dream positioned in Raph’s room? The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that Raph’s spirit is the only one Kendra has seen so far- not only seen, but SPOKEN to. And ever since their chat at that lake, Kendra has had a stronger connection to Donnie. (I don’t just mean feelings or emotions). After her and Raph’s talk, Donnie has his freak out moment in the barn. MILES away. And yet, Kendra could sense that something was WRONG.
As someone with three older siblings I can tell you right now that they have an INSTINCT to sense danger/discomfort to their younger sibs. Raph was no different. And I wonder… after their little chat… If he passed some of that to Kendra. Just the sense, the instinct that connects her further to the Hamatos and to Donnie.
Raph wasn’t just some spirit to her- He was slowly becoming like family- her own older brother. Which I think is why when she sees his sais on the ground, that she reaches out to them. Almost as if they radiate with familial warmth and safety. Something… Kendra probably hasn’t felt all that much. So she reaches out.
And then THIS HAPPENS-
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e89308fc0d6c3d51b0cc9340829f964f/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-d5/s1280x1920/658b9e814c5ef0442d257af04e5037f86d951ff1.jpg)
Something within her, (whether that be physically, mentally, or spiritually), FORCES her away from Raph’s sais. Pulls her away. Distracts her. It looks as if the inside of her skin is boiling and itching- forcing her to react by trying to claw it out.
And WHAT color is this sensation? This poison coursing through her veins? PINK. The same hue of the sickeningly, vibrant drink that she had five too many of at the party.
(I FRIGGIN KNEW THAT JUICE WAS BAD NEWS FJWIHCIWICJS)
As Kendra begins to panic in the dream, her breaths becoming shorter and more choked, two hands slither out of the darkness and cling to her wrists. As she looks up, trying to decipher who it is that’s attacking her, we get this nightmare fuel. 0-0
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1350fe3bd2c0c7e68d6fec78ecb47174/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-96/s540x810/8f28a23aa83b1074e03cda25b22c4b09986e308d.jpg)
Do yall remember what Kendra said at the party to Donnie? “That woman is an eldritch horror. She could peel me open like a grape.” Or something to that effect.. THIS image- the seven eyes compared to the one- looks to me like Big Mama right in the middle of transforming into her true spider form.
Poor Kendra ain’t never gonna sleep again. 0.0
Then just as the nightmare begins to climax into a full on horror show- She is awoken by Donnie calling out her name and holding her.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2e79b13b38fe139efbbbbcbfa13434b6/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-26/s540x810/725b251e0e19827845e143399fdc22502959c2ee.jpg)
And once again, Donnie used her FULL name. Not a nickname- He’s SERIOUS right now. He’s WORRIED. He wants her to be okay. And however tiny it is- Kendra shakily replies with “Tello?” Not a full name, but certainly not a hurtful nickname like she’s quite used to calling him.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/98102854721a864ff57081dc61eaf638/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-ec/s540x810/4adfc485fc4a2ed3b35f50121685c3f33fe1276a.jpg)
Here is one of my FAVORITE details of this update: How the colors return and fade with specific words. Here we see Donnie saying he was just going to wake her up- but then the word “gentler” becomes his inner purple. His soul’s hue. The color of his ninpo and his heart. 💜 If this were Donnie from weeks ago, he would’ve stopped at “I was going to just wake you up.” But things have changed since then, hmm? ;)
(Also HUUUUUBOI KENDRA MUST LOOK RED AS A TOMATO WITH DONNIE HOVERING OVER HER LIKE THAT HHOOOWEEEE)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/348ef7d3301a50c518b18c0dd3511936/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-c0/s540x810/62be0d9a0fc0e0de8455db9f565d27d95b273db2.jpg)
Here again we see the effects of color in the dialogue being used. At first, Kendra is speaking as herself, openly, admitting to Donnie that she had a nightmare.
And then as soon as Donnie begins to say her full name again, with worry and tenderness swelling within the violet hue, Kendra’s words become colorless again. Empty. Devoid of emotion. (Or at least fighting to be.)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/634a044c3e04c1d06b135dceec10246c/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-da/s640x960/44a502682e858bcdbebe59ff857a2324d91e4e26.jpg)
Then there’s THIS LIL NUMBER- And now I need to go and review all the past panels to see how long that scar has been there- heheh I shall return in a month’s time.
Kendra begins to get up, (much to the chagrin of worrying Donnie), and she says this. “I’d like to have some dignity left and not have you watch me struggle.”
SWEETY. Kendra. Darling. BOTH you and Donnie have had front row seats to each other’s struggles; dignity isn’t part of the equation anymore when it comes to loving others and being there for them. 💜 🩷
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8461e5dfb1bc7f0e0a3079ac91d94e64/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-2a/s640x960/2d31987ee7a9910f4d72933bda86652553804eb7.jpg)
AGAIN- Donnie says her full name. And this is after he has fought within his ever-computing brain and the sounds of his brothers’ spirits shouting at him to “ASK HER!!” Finally he succumbs, but man alive is he scared to hear her answer. As he mentally and emotionally grounded himself for the worst, he covers his face with his hand. (Something to somewhat protect him from what he thinks is coming and the shame that will flood down with it.)
He asks the big question all of us are PLEADING to hear the answer to.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/10a619dc4500f38e33ae695ca631ffb9/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-08/s540x810/4849659d798fc09f3680ea492fe2b48c91e07e3d.jpg)
Now Donnie is completely slumped over, his hair a mess, and his tail protectively wrapped around his thigh. He’s absolutely terrified.
And here we see the colors shift in his dialogue again. Purple is BARELY present- FIGHTING to be seen compared to the all-consuming grey bleeding in.
Donnie’s trying to be the way he was before so he won’t get hurt: apathetic. Unaffected. Unfeeling. This was always how he reacted to emotional pain and things of the unknown. And right now, he’s so unsure of himself that he is thrusting himself back seven steps in his healing to somewhere where he thinks is more comfortable; Somewhere where he thinks he has control.
And what does Kendra say? What is her response?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a4d0095f7ed8725e60113d9ea65c897e/d9b34c4c80b5b8c6-54/s540x810/995ac66fb2ee6c7d5c38f9450edc286e07387bc1.jpg)
She remembers- THANK THE MERCIFUL HEAVENS SHE REMEMBERS!!! But she, like Donatello, is resorting to the easier, less complicated, less painful option: apathy. Denial. Fantasy.
And poor Donnie’s face here… Even while fighting his emotions he’s still losing to them. Horror mixed with unrelenting sadness is consuming him.
Because he was right. Why… would she ever love him?
COKO YOU INCREDIBLE NUTJOB. This was- THIS WAS- Just-
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Incredible. Absolutely incredible. You did amazing. Holy crap. Make sure to drink water and go say hi to the sun sometimesssss~ Thank you for your story. I hope you had fun making it and driving all your fans batty with everything you hide in it. 🤣

he'll teasingly ask you if you're brave enough to take a bite
if you go along with it, he'll do it too
takes the prettiest candid pics of you ever
the curse of a 'bf who takes the most awful photos of you' does not exist with viktor
he's a perfectionist, and you can never look less than, in his opinion
he shows you the photos later, all shy and nervous and you're losing your mind at how he managed to capture everything so beautifully
"it's easy. you're always beautiful to me. capturing a second of it is no trouble. i just wish i could live every frame of you again over and over."
back in your shared apartment, he's organizing the layout for the next chapter in his photo album of you
you've started your own filled with photos of him
you guys go through them at the end of every year to reminisce on memories
the night unwinds with a glass of sweet wine and reading together by the fire, eventually falling asleep all cozied up on the couch <3
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ MEL
spa day
facial, manis, pedis, the whole package
a day of pampering her beloved!
she wants you to look and feel your best
the best type of love can be self-love, after all
after the spa, she takes you to an orchestral concert featuring renown musicians from the city and beyond
she's booked you both your own private balcony where you can watch the performance from the comfort of privacy and plenty of courses catered to your tastes
there's a gift exchange at home to top off the perfect day
you'd been agonizing on what to get her
councilor medarda? the brains, beauty, and vision of success? what could you give her that she can't simply buy when she feels like it?
you ended up making her gift. a jar decorated with fairy lights and resin'd petals on the outside, and filled with handwritten notes from you
the messages range from cheesy pickup lines to affirmations of how much you love her, and reminders for her to take a break
you also put together a small folder of tickets
each ticket reads something like "movie night", "dinner of your choice, on me", "painting date", etc. etc.
whenever she feels down, she can just pick one and you'll drop whatever you're doing and spend the rest of the day dedicated to that, and to her
she loves you and you love her so much
it's sickening. tooth rotting, even. definitely acts of service and quality time here
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ JAYCE
cooking together is a love language. sharing food that you've made together? hooray! how romantic is that?
especially if it's a cultural exchange of food
he's teaching you to make his mamá's birria tacos and rambling about parts of his childhood in the kitchen, helping her out
you're listening with a silly smile on your face
an expression of pure lovesickness
he's moving around the place with such ease, and the smell of comfort is heavenly
then it's your turn to walk him through something from your culture, and talk about your own stories associated with the dish/dessert/drink (whatever it is you wanna make)
me personally, i'll be making some bánh xèo (it's like a vietnamese crepe! very savory, very yummy)
half your plate is your food, and the other is jayce's birria tacos
cleanup can be dealt with later
right now, there's good food and better company to be have
it's a shared learning opportunity and serves to strengthen your bond :-)
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ VI
she's picking you up from your house first thing
ready with a "good morning!", kiss on the cheek, and a bouquet of your favorite flowers
wrapped in paper, of course <3
if you have chocolates for her, she'll melt right then and there in your arms
or maybe even chocolate covered strawberries you put together yourself!
you two are heading right to the arcade
paintball gets competitive. and messy
go clothes shopping for each other after
it's a chance for her to indulge in something she usually doesn't, and you get the chance to spoil your favorite girl in the whole world
she appreciates that you love her style and who she is and doesn't try changing who she is. because of that, she trusts you to help style her
once you're both newly out in some new clothes and kicks, you guys hit the highway
windows down, blasting your favorite songs and singing along at the top of your lungs
i love vi, i wish women were real :(
she's my favorite alongside viktor. AUGH.
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ CAITLYN
what's the point of having money and an influential family if not to rent out places, like a whole bookstore? or a planetarium? a movie theater, even
all of the above, and more
maybe not in that order though
the bookstore is first. you both buy each other a book you think the other will like and promise to keep each other updated on your progress
the movie theater next
speaking of movies, i saw heart eyes with my friends yesterday! it was a great movie, i enjoyed it a LOT more than i initially thought
so glad to have been proven wrong
you guys watch some good ol' romance movies (10 things i hate about you, la la land, the princess bride, etc.)
planetarium! sick as fuck
you're spending the entire day wrapped up in each other and your shared interests
some warm tea and sweet kisses for the winding down as you're watching the sunset
sigh. oh to be in love...
she isn't a kiramman today. not captain, officer, on-duty caitlyn kiramman
she's just your beloved cait, caitlyn
the headstrong, passionate, and protective woman who has your entire heart
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ EKKO
in an opposite direction of caitlyn's, but no less loving
money can buy certain happiness but it's not always necessary
art date where you guys stay home and paint each other with the variety of art supplies he's gathered over the years
ekko's an artist through and through
his mural of vi in the alternate universe? oh i'm in love.
the paintings are getting hung up wherever there's space on your guys' wall because the space is FILLED with posters, artwork, memorabilia, magazine and news pages, etc.
it's a very creative living space
there’s also plenty of plants that litter the windowsills and ledges where sunlight can reach
you guys spent each day of february decorating each plant with something for valentine’s day
the cranes on your ceiling has been joined by spiral hearts
interior decoration could be so romantic. i’d want to do that with someone i love someday
a little walk through the city at night too, but on the rooftops
less people to bother you guys and the aerial view makes it more thrilling
don't fall
he'll catch you regardless
˚ ♡ ⋆。˚ ❀ JINX
you guys spend the day in her air balloon base
she's made you a gift basket!
it's filled with sketches and doodles of you
all colorful and wild and completely her style
she's stitched together a teddy bear plush too, having gone to ask vi and (reluctantly) caitlyn for help with it
you can see all the uneven bits and parts where the stuffing is too much or too little
but it's perfect
she even added a heart with her signature perfume sprayed on it too
like build-a-bear or something
funny, you also got her a gift basket
various gadgets and knick-knacks, and a new tool kit
some sweets you picked up a bakery
soft, fluffy macarons. tiramisu. a matcha strawberry cake that you share
it's a rare treat for a special occasion
cait also gave you some skincare when you went to visit her, so you and jinx had an impromptu skincare session, gossiping and talking about her latest project and relaxing together under the open night sky

Why Tenko Chabashira is a Great Character pt. 1: Tenko’s Backstory and PersonalityA
Another essay excerpt because that did better than I expected last time and I'm suprised people actually want to read my stuff.
Tenko Chabashira is an over-hated character in the fandom with people before the game even came out criticizing her and hoping that she died.
Now this is not everyone’s opinion.
I've seen many people praise Tenko, but it’s a widely accepted opinion that she sucks, ranking near the bottom on a lot of people’s tier lists and having people post on every social media platform how much they hate her.
I love Tenko.
She is my favorite character in NDRV3 and right now my favorite character of all time.
With the game already in its eight anniversary I thought, what a better time than ever to fulfill my civic duty as a Tenko fan and explain why she is a great character and doesn’t deserve nearly all the hate she’s gotten.
Backstory
One of the main reasons people hate Tenko is her hatred of men.
I would like to lessen this to dislike because Tenko shows multiple times in the game that she does not hate men and there are also reasons behind her sentiments.
Tenko took her master's teachings very seriously; he was like a father figure to her (which makes sense especially since her parents abandoned her), and she was adamant about mastering neo-aikido.
Tenko is also really gullible.
It's why she believes Himiko can do real magic, so she would believe her master wholeheartedly when he tells her that interactions with men would weaken her.
It's similar to a child being told by their parents that if they are good Santa will give them gifts.
Another factor contributing to Tenko’s dislike of men would be her crime fighting which not only adds to her childlike nature but gives more of a reason to her so-called “man-hating.”
In one of Tenko’s ftes with Shuichi, she says:
“As practitioners of Neo-Aikido, Master and I… are also heroes of justice! Master and I wear masks to disguise ourselves! We serve to save, whether it is day or night! We do everything! Help an old woman carry her belongings… Help a child cross the street…Oh, yeah! I caught a thief the other day! We also punish degenerates who cheat and bring divine justice to gropers on trains. And even help girls who just had tough break-ups!”
Even though those don’t seem like the best reasons to “hate” a whole gender overshadowed by being hurt by men emotionally or physically.
If you think about it, it’s not the worst reason either, Tenko was just a kid and her master filled her head with misconceptions and stereotypes about men.
(In the end, he was just trying to protect but there are many more ways to go about it.)
Of course, Tenko didn’t have to believe it, but by being exposed to bad men on the streets when she and her master were fighting crime, and not having many interactions with good men, you can start to see where she comes from.
She’s just like a kid who never grew out of the boys' cooties phase (with a little more trauma), and as a kid, she wasn’t taught that all men aren’t bad, she wasn’t shown that all men aren’t bad, and she wasn’t exposed to the idea either.
I don’t think we should blame Tenko for something really out of her control.
Children are very impressionable that's why they're easy targets (well them and elderly people).
Their frontal lobes aren't fully developed so they don't think critically plus when your a kid small and vulnerable you tend to look to your parents for safety and guidance.
Imagine yourself in Tenko’s shoes. The man who is basically a father figure to her tells her all these misconceptions about men—and that they will stop her from fully mastering Neo-Aikido, something she has dedicated years to. With her low self-esteem, she likely already believes she isn’t good enough.
(While most of her self-esteem issues seem to be tied to her physical abilities, strength could play a role in that too. )
Wouldn’t that make you dislike them?
Then when he takes her out and she sees the men doing exactly what her master told her that they would do it would not only prove that her masters teachings are true it would solidify that hatred.
Now at the beginning of this section I said that Tenko doesn’t hate men but now I’m saying she does?
I believe Tenko had bad teachings and exposure that made her man hatred reasonable.
I don't think Tenko hates the whole male species as she says she does but if you're a man who hurts women Tenko is going to hate you with a burning passion an important distinction I need to make.
Tenko’s backstory isn’t perfect I’ll admit that but based on how she interacts with men during the game and how she acts overall bad exposure and teachings are a fine reason.
Personality
She’s rather boisterous and is like a ball of energy and can be overbearing to other students especially Himiko since how she acts with other students (not just the boys) is not “normal” per se (but no one in this game is normal) many people chalk it up to her just being annoying.
Still, I would like to add something else that may be a factor in her upbringing which I know I have already discussed.
Still, Tenko grew up in a temple with priests she was sent there when she was very young (there isn’t a specific age but many suspect five to six) so we can assume that she didn’t have a lot of interaction with kids her age (especially boys) with the only time interacting with people probably being people going in the temples for religious purposes or the people she saved while fighting crime.
A person’s upbringing especially if it’s bad or not normal can influence how someone acts just take Maki Harukawa, for example, she grew up in an orphanage and was trained to be an assassin during the game when Shuichi and Kaito are fighting she makes Shuichi watch her teaching Kaito to assemble and disassemble a crossbow so that they can make up, and when Kaito is kidnapped she reverts to the only thing she knows and tries to kill Kokichi.
Or Gonta Gokuhara who was raised in the forest by wolves doing odd things like not wearing shoes, lacking general cultural knowledge, getting suddenly controlled by strong emotions and having trouble with language.
So it makes sense for Tenko to act strangely and lack strong social skills, given her isolation from kids her age when she was young.
Unlike someone who has been interacting with others their entire life, starting from kindergarten, her experiences have been limited.
Or you can just say it’s her lack of understanding social cues and she’s neurodivergent coded.
...
Tenko, while claiming she hates men, gets along fine with them and shows them support. Some of these scenes include:
Joining Kaito’s strategy meeting
Telling Shuichi not to be too hard on himself after Kaede’s death
Yelling at Kokichi when he makes fun of Shuichi without his hat
Promising to avenge Rantaro and Ryoma��s deaths
Complementing Gonta for being calm and reasonable after Kirumi accuses him
Feeling bad after flipping Shuichi over her shoulder and carrying him back to her room
Allowing Shuichi to participate in Aikido with her
Telling Shuichi he needs to gain more confidence in himself.
She is also lovely and caring, volunteering to protect all of the girls, placing herself at risk alongside Kaito and Gonta to save Kaede from her execution, and her friendship with Himiko, in which she tries to help her overcome her emotional suppression, demonstrates her compassion for others.
She is one of the most vocal characters when it comes to opposing the killing game they were imprisoned in, and she is always willing to offer assistance or emotional support.
Tenko has a wonderful personality. Her deep emotional core, supportive persona, and childlike thinking are qualities that I and many others can identify with.
These qualities, in my opinion, dampen the hatred of her "male-hating" mentality in some aspects and make her a charming character.
Tenko's development
While having many ‘annoying/ undesirable’ traits Tenko eventually does have character development.
The main one is her dislike of men. I've already discussed that this dislike doesn’t seem genuine because, since the beginning of the game, she’s been having friendly, kindhearted interactions with men but taking that out of account Tenko does develop from the beginning of the game to her death.
Tenko’s journey reveals layers of her personality, showcasing how bad experiences shape beliefs and attitudes.
And how a good experience can turn it all around for the better even if her transformation is not entirely linear and overshadowed by other major characters (Shuichi Maki and Himiko.)
In her Free Time Events (FTEs) with Shuichi, she is very mean to him.
Nicest thing she says is that he can improve himself through Neo Aikido and become a good man like her master.
However, the interactions in her FTEs specifically with Shuichi amplify her disdain for men making it seem worse than it is in the game.
Despite all this she still she moments of genuine growth realizing that not all men are as bad as the ones her master told her about and the one she saw while crime-fighting through her experiences with Shuichi and the other men in the game she slowly but surely alters her perspective, and the journey leads her to form a friendship--though some would say acquaintanceship--with Shuichi (a man 😱.)
It’s a shift for her from her initial male-hating persona as she learns to accept that not every man is as bad as she was taught to believe by her master.
I could go on but this is getting long so in Part 2 I'll delve deeper into Tenko’s character arc and development in chapter 3.

Reblogging this because I also want to explain what I mean when I say "inhale." I am talking about DEEP breathing. A friend of mine has been in therapy since we were very small and we are now in our thirties, and when I was walking her through this technique, I found out she had no idea what "deep breathing" actually was! She said, "Oh, that never helps me. It makes the anxiety worse," and I went, "Can you show me what you're doing? ...Oh My God. No. Stop That. That is panting, OF COURSE that makes it worse!"
So, do me a favor. Place one hand on your shoulder. Either shoulder, doesn't matter. Place your other hand on your abdomen with your palm over your belly button...and then inhale by pushing that hand away from your spine as far as you can, without moving the hand on your shoulder.
It's okay if you can't inhale very much this way yet! It takes practice and this is just a demo! Please just breathe for a second without moving your shoulders!
If you aren't used to this, it's gonna feel weird. If you're from a culture that prioritizes flat stomachs and you're accustomed to "sucking it in," it's gonna feel SUPER weird...but I don't care. You are having a panic attack; you can go back to sucking it in later. RELAX YOUR ABDOMEN AND BREATHE. Push! Your! Stomach! OUT! and try to move your shoulders as little as possible.
In the moment, of course, it's fine if your shoulders move a little. These rules aren't hard and fast, ymmv etc., it's just really important to practice getting air down deep in you, because the point is, "deep" does not refer to volume; it refers to location. You must fill the bottoms of your lungs first, NOT the tops. Breathing without engaging your upper chest doesn't just get oxygen to your brain - it also communicates to your brain that you are not running. It says, I am calm. I am safe. I am breathing this way because I know I am safe. Fuck you, Brain. Chill.
Anyway, please reblog this if you were surprised. I was floored to find out my best friend of 23 years had no idea how to actually DO deep breathing. I just asked my partner of 18 years and he didn't know either! idk how many other folks out there are trying to calm down by breathing like they're fleeing from danger. Remember: shoulders down, stomach out. I love you. <3
screaming! medication withdrawal symptoms are starting/have started and i'm! not doing great!
SO we have reached what i suspect would ordinarily be the mild suicidal ideation part of the concerta withdrawal.
fun!
thankfully i am on antidepressants this time, which do seem to be doing THEIR job so far, so mostly my brain is just on fire and i aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, screaming! screaming! screaming! very not good! slept like shit two nights ago because digestion reasons, slept 5 hours full of anxiety dreams about my probably-dying fish last night, it's 8 in the fucking morning and i wanna sleep but my brain WILL NOT slow down and i am going to THROW MYSELF INTO THE SUN
this too shall pass, this too shall pass, but goddamn, i put in a refill request on June 17th and have been rationing ever since and NOW i find out, NOW i find out from my pharmacy, that they never even RECEIVED the refill request, but it wouldn't make a difference anyway now because they do not have concerta in stock, so! yay! fucking whee!
energy drinks my FUCKING beloveds, at this point i think actual cocaine might be easier to come by, i'm going to try zzzquil tonight and see if that does literally fucking anything lmao
IN THE MEANTIME
i am gonna treat this as an anxiety attack and go have a bath and ponder my meditation orb (big BIG thank you to my therapist for teaching me a meditation technique for brains that require multiple focal splits, fucking godsend, lemme tell you) and then i am gonna make a list of everything stressing me out. and then i am going to DROWN MYSELF IN CAFFEINE, ahaha, lolsob, why is my fish so sick i am going to miss her.
#adhd life#meditation#deep breathing#should i make a separate post about this?#*i* know this because i was in various choirs from 4th grade through grad school#we learned how to breathe#apparently this was not the norm even for people who have been in therapy for 5ever#wtf

back on my bullshit (meeting men im in love with). Ben Schwartz is so kind and tall :-) I didn’t totally freeze like when I met the Jonas brothers but the selfies we took are blurry so 😔
(at least I have these bc I told sam to record the whole thing heheheh)
#also the show was great#I had to slap sam many times bc she was choking from laughter#ben schwartz#bro how did i forget my personal tag for ben#ben schwartz my beloved#me#also forgot me tag#editing tags after the fact to recount the entire experience#so we waited outside for about 10 minutes and I had no expectation of how long it usually takes for him to come out and take pictures#he comes out without a mask which is surprising to me and says ‘you guys wanna take some pictures?’#we all just kinda form a non sensical blob (there’s maybe like 10 ppl total) around him#Brandon Katie and Eugene hang back towards the stage door unsure if anyone wants to chat with them#I’m gushing over how tall and handsome Ben is to my sister who is ready to record our interaction once he gets to me#as I listen to him chatting with the other fans I can’t help but smile and say to my sibling ‘he’s so sweet’ every minute#he meets someone who has a cool sketchbook of the skits from the show that he wants to take a picture of#but they need to write their handle so he says he’ll talk with some others and get back to them#so he does and then later I see the girl ready to talk to him again off to the side#so I tell her ‘you can go ahead and finish talking to him”’ and she’s like ‘are you sure?’ and I’m like duh!#finally it’s my turn and he looks at me and says ‘hi I’m Ben’#yes Benjamin Joseph Schwartz I know#he sees me holding my phone and immediately sides steps to get into selfie mode as I ask him if he’ll sign my Jean Ralphio figure#he steps back to Be in front of me ‘yes of course!’#what insane media training he has#he says ‘I’ve seen this! this is the first one I’ve ever signed’#upon seeing the figure he says ‘it’s beautiful’ lol#he’s concerned that the sharpie I brought will not show up and I mention that it was probably a bad one to bring because it’s pastel#he signs and holds it up (as you can see in the first photo) to make sure it’s visible#he hands it back to me and I thank him and he says ‘do you want to take a picture?’#and I say ‘I would love to!’ and then I hold the Jean Ralphio figure and he looks to my sibling assuming she’s taking the picture#she’s like ‘no I’m just here for moral support!’

i am going to say it now btw but the way you perceive alex in yiik is basically how you perceive someone who essentially has severe untreated moral ocd specifically around fearing he has npd and severe bpd and hpd that mimics npd and severe pediatric onset ocd that mimics the symptoms of DID which has happened and can happen according to multiple studies and my actual first psychiatrist who specialized in pediatric ocd btw.
if you perceive him as a narcissist and irredeemable and are going to be ableist about both people with npd and him? yeah you'll perceive him as irredeemable with no good points
if you perceive him as someone with such severe moral ocd that the thought of even OFFENDING his friends makes him fear he's an irredeemable violent criminal who deserves to be executed and has abandonment trauma around his father and abuse trauma around his mother that splintered him into multiple headmates? you're going to understand alex a little better than the average fan or hater.
basically: to understand alex as a character you need to know only one thing and it's he believes like 100 percent that he deserves to be hated for existing and that nobody should love him. it's the opposite of the common perception of him that he believes he should be loved unconditionally because he thinks he doesn't.
#yiik iv#yiik: a postmodern rpg#yiik#alex eggleston#alex eagleston#i'm of the second type btw. alex isn't some irredeemable sociopath he's just a stupid white guy who has way too many mental disorders#that's a majority of why he's Like That#he's got abandonment issues despite his arguments with carrie she was PROBABLY his only friend growing up#(keep in mind rory probably is a parallel of alex as well. he's called the paralleled one for A REASON not just because of the soul thing)#(well. besides simon. who he had a bi genderqueer crush on and was jealous of allison/carrie for scoring instead of him)#his mom was probably the type of woman who let's be real used being a single mother as an excuse#and swang between abusing alex for being THE most autistic person alive and being his coddling overprotective mother#and his dad. i don't like damned daddy let's not talk about damned daddy#alex is the way he IS because his UPBRINGING is basically 'parents don't believe in therapy so he's not getting therapy'#by 'parents don't believe in therapy'#i either think his mother was like 'MY SON DOESN'T NEED THERAPY OR ACCOMMODATIONS HE'S PERFECT'#or 'MY SON DOESN'T NEED ACCOMMODATIONS OR THERAPY HE'D BE A FAILURE IF HE DID AUTISM ISN'T AN EXCUSE'#(the latter is more likely because of the autism 'my diagnosis doesn't define me' alex comment in character as himself)#(that was likely the only diagnosis HE GOT aside from like ocd because autism and ocd diagnoses are twins)#(and he wasn't allowed excuses for autism for the former)#(and for the ocd he probably only looked it up after he saw it on a paper and concluded he's a violent serial killer by being alive)#some of this is VERY much from experience yes but my personal experiences except i got therapy since i was VERY young are like alex#and my relationship with my sibling is what i imagine alex and carrie's to be like: loving but alex had fucking autism and ocd tantrums#so of course alex has probably hit her before and believes he's an irredeemable sociopath for hitting his sister in fits he couldn't contro#so yeah. i know alex more intimately than most people do. alex wants to be unconditionally loved#he says that in the game. he's never been unconditionally loved and he thinks only a plastic robot can give it to him#no wonder alex is the way he is. he thinks even his friends and family will abandon him because he's the way he is for any little mistake#hell he probably assumes PANDA his HEADMATE STUFFED ANIMAL will abandon him someday. he's the way he is for a reason#and that reason is nobody in his life until The Yiik Gang has showed him affection or kindness#and even then he doesn't believe they care about him because his core belief is Nobody Cares About Him

The charlastor ship was huge after the pilot and of course vivziepop knew about it so having charlie and alastors relationship suddenly be coded as familial feels a bit petty ngl
#she can do what she wants of course it's her show but like so many things this season it wasn't built up at all#so it just feels tagged on so that alastor could have beef with lucifer#and to tell charlastor shippers (who where a huge part of the early post pilot fandom) that they're no longer welcome#cause god forbid anyone still publicly ships those two after the episode#they'll become the next victim of the rabid fandom#that's messed up#hazbin hotel#charlastor
