Dragon of the Sun by @forestwhisper3

(Ch.5&6>)

You know, it was kind of weird...

Mikey sat on the living room couch, the sci-fi movie he was watching fading into the background after a really campy fight scene between two psychics reminded him of something.

The first time he'd had a freaky dream that ended up sort of true, he'd chalked it up to some weird crystal mumbo-jumbo messing with him. He figured it was a one-and-done sort of thing, especially since he hadn't had another since leaving the underground city.

But now it had happened again, and this time there were no crystals to blame.

GAHHHH!!!! THIS FIC!!! MYSTIC MIKEY BUT IT'S 03 MIKEY!!!!! This fic has my whole damn heart, holy shit! Author does a fantastic job diverging from canon and giving us all the family feels and character depth that the show didn't. My heart? Palpating, pumping, melting onto the damn floor!! Go read it!!!

[megahorous]

Finished the Ultimate Drako arc

-- Both of the crossovers [Planet Racers and Usagi] have a Cat Girl !

-- I wonder how long they were have supposed to have been there...Donatello had time to take down Postapocalyptic Shredder. If only they had him 30 years earlier! I guess he was the only guy they were missing

-- I think I missed the Raphael one the first time. I guess I found it the least interesting anyway

-- SAINW was interesting and is kinda like The Last Ronin, I understand. Or "Shredderville" from the '87 cartoon

-- Leo and Usagi sure love to take out their swords and never cut anyone! Well, that's just how it goes

-- Splinter in distress, if you're into that kind of thing

-- Ultimate Ninja gets to come back to life, de-aged, but not Drako....no one gives a crud about him I guess

Big Brawl rewatch, let's goooooo

Part 1

"But we need not fear the past. It is the future we must fear." Gotta love it whenever Splinter is narrating the cold opening.

I feel like Splinter should know at this point in the series that if he tells his sons not to do something, they are going to do it anyway.

Also, I keep forgetting that the Battle Nexus takes place every three years, not four. (Why do I keep thinking it's four?)

"Nice going, Donny. You got any chalk in your magic bag of tricks?" Honestly, it would be hilarious if one of the only things Donny doesn't have in his duffel bag is something practical, like a pen or a pack of tissues.

All of the turtles staring at Michelangelo when he reveals he knows what a nexus. The reason being because he, like Donatello, watches Star Trek. Pfffffft

ATTACK OF THE TOOTHPICKS

Once again, I love it whenever the animation suddenly becomes a lot smoother and more detailed during action/fight scenes like this

I'm not surprised that Leo is so upset over his swords being broken during this quick fight. (I mean they're the same swords he forged with Raph back in "The Monster Hunter.")

There is something I really love about the Gyoji as a character and I do not know what it is. His voice? How calm, composed, chill, and reasonable he is? The fact he literally dies at the end of the arc and yet he's brought back during "Grudge Match" as if nothing happened?

The Gyoji is actually god

Turtles see Splinter being attacked by someone unfamiliar; first instinct is to try and help him. These boys love their dad <3

Raphael instantly admitting he was the one who talked Leonardo into following Splinter when Splinter starts scolding Leo... If I had to pick one thing I love about his character, it is the fact he does take responsibility for his actions.

Tell me again why the Djinn was never brought back after this arc? He seems like a nice guy and I wanna see what his dimension looks like.

I'd say of the Big Brawl Episodes, Part 1 is probably my least favorite? But it's entirely circumstantial seeing as this is basically the exposition episode explaining the Battle Nexus and Splinter's history with the competition.

The first appearance of Usagi... Even as a pre-teen, he is powerful. Though why was he at the Battle Nexus three years ago? Was Katsuichi competing maybe? Gimme the lion sensei, damn it.

Drako is such a piss baby loser jesus

I adore this moment where Splinter agrees to let Leo, Raph, Don, and Mikey compete. He's been very overprotective of his boys for the longest time, but he's starting to realize that they are growing up and becoming more independent.

I still firmly believe that had the Fast Forward reboot never happened, TMNT 2003 would have been the first animated iteration to kill off Splinter. Just saying.

I never realized how much of a giant the Ultimate Ninja is compared to the turtles, holy shit

I recall seeing a theory somewhere that the reason Leonardo didn't get a mystic weapon in Season 5 is because of his katanas getting reforged in the Battle Nexus, where the swordsmith likely used magic to get the job done quickly? I dig it.

TRAXIMUS

Forever kills me how even though the turtles never got a chance to meet Hamato Yoshi, they still revere him as an ancestral figure (especially Leo, since this episode ends with him praying in front of his statue.)

Also you're about to be assassinated, Leo. Leo. LEO.

TMNT Write Fight Fic: Pressure Release

This fic is for @aquietwritingcorner's prompt, "(2k3) Some comfort after one of Don's many traumatizing moments in the show. Doesn’t have to be all the turtles, or even a turtle. Just some comfort for Don. (Extra love if, if you do use the turtles, there's some kind of turtle pile.)" for @tmnt-write-fight

Word Count: 3,667

Summary: Don's words after coming back from the Ultimate Drako incident kept bothering Mikey. That, and Don seemed quiet, lately.

TMayNT Day 3: Favorite Henchmen

Day 3 of @tmaynt Prompt: Favorite Henchemn! It may just be me and my bias when it comes to dragons in general, but like...am i the only one that feels like Drako here should've gotten a little more solo screentime? And I know it maaaay be a stretch to call him a henchmen, but he did get screwed over by The Ultimate Ninja and did take orders from him for the most part...soooo, it still think he counts!

And for those that noticed, yes, I did tweak his design a little! Mostly cause while he's one of my favorite baddies, his design I feel lacks a little bit of...something.

[joyfuladorable]

Here, look at this WIP, too

[love-killed-the-superstar]

Are there any leosagi fics you recommend for a newbie? I am just now warming up to the ship it’s so cute.

*cracks knuckles* oh, this'll be fun!! welcome to the fold! this is in no particular order, even though i'm still going to plug my all time favourite one first:

Silk and Steel by katanashipping: This is the first leosagi fic I ever read and the one that has haunted me since I first read it in 2014. Rereading it is actually what kickstarted my latest round of tmnt obsession. It's an alternate retelling of s4 and oh, it is so good. The ending scene... *chefs kiss*

In Between Worlds by Koalagriton: I read this one recently and it was so good... A series of drabbles about them reuniting at the next Battle Nexus. The last chapter is my favourite - the fic is kinda bittersweet but I love it to death.

In Circles by Garden_Guardian: A really nice and sweet fix-it fic for the capril wedding where Leo and Usagi actually TALK to each other instead of ignoring each other like awkward exes following Samurai Tourist. Includes some really adorable fanart attached!

Approval by hostofhorus999: A classic 5 times + 1 times fic - this time Usagi getting blessings from Leo's family to propose!!! It's so fucking sweet.

Operation Matchmaker 2: Electric Boogaloo by GreenGoddessSmoothie: A classic 'brothers trying to get leosagi together' tale. Shenanigans ensue, it's great, I laughed super hard.

Operation Elopement 2: Electric Boogaloo by GreenGoddessSmoothie: A direct sequel but about them getting eloped!! It's really cute, made me really emotional.

Fewer Things Forgotten by kay_cricketed: I only recently found out about this one (livejournal was slightly before my time lol) but it's a leosagi fic in 50 sentences and ohh it's so good. I initially wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this style of one-sentence stories but it pulled some real emotions out of me!!

The next three are multi-chaptered and pretty wordy but I still recommend:

Dragon of the Sun by ForestWhisper3: Okay so technically this is a Mikey-centric fic but the leosagi in it is so good I had to include it. It's a retelling of the Ultimate Drako arc featuring mystic!Mikey and it's a lot of fun. The leosagi parts are in chapters 5+6 but PLEASE read the whole thing it's super good and I'm kinda obsessed.

The Tortoise and the Hare by AmevelloBlue: REQUIRED READING (/j). This fic is super good. It recontextualises all leosagi episodes in 2k3, adds in missing scenes and then spins off into a really cool climax featuring Jei and it's just - super good. Loved it. Reread it three times already.

No Room For Dying by Amevello Blue: Direct sequel to Tortoise and Hare. This is the Ninja Tribunal arc we deserved honestly. Really highlights how shitty the tribunal is, Usagi slots into the plot seamlessly, it explores Usagi's own trauma from UJ which I really appreciated, the relationship drama is perfect and... yep. Just a really solid read. I'm going to do my third reread once I hit season 5 on my rewatch.

finally, i am not above plugging my own fics... i recently wrote one for tmnttober from usagi's pov where he's celebrating tanabata with the hamato family and trying to keep his crush on leo under wraps: climb up to my view, see the world in my shoes

have fun!!!

[therebelinred]

The start of Leo blaming himself probably happened when the Daimyo yelled at Leo for not saving his son when he tried and had him locked up. Bro you just yelled at a kid come on man Leo did try to save the ultimate ninja drako was a dick and pulled him into the portal. Then exodus happens and Leo feels more blame on his shoulders. The adults in Leo’s life failed him they allowed this boy to have the pressure of responsibility on his shoulders so when he failed he went into a spiraling self blame. Look at what you did to this boy he now has anxiety!

[yellowhollyhock]

Posting a timeline for myself so I don't get confused writing in this space but now that it's getting organized it is become a Thing. So, 2003 turtles headcanons and eventual future

November 1992: Splinter attends first Battle Nexus, turtles 4

November 1995: Battle Nexus, turtles 7; Usagi saves Splinter from Drako, he looks about 9

September 2005-August 2006: Usagi visits in January; Leo is with the Ancient one February-March.

November 2013: Raph Battle Nexus champion (their family is going to be banned for winning too often 🤣)

January 2014: enter Timothy. Raph enjoying socializing with other mutants, especially close with Mona and Genghis. Mikey depressed that they aren't the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (now we're just, like... regular mutant ninja turtles), breakup with Ia

Spring 2014: Donny's secret therapy, unfortunately coinciding with TAO moving to NYC. Much conflict in general as bros all want to stay living together but have different life goals, plus there's Angel now and Raph has basically been living with Mona Lisa and Genghis Frog and Mikey's very busy at school and etc. etc. In other news, Raph finds a baby mutant turtle named Lita. Mikey dates and breaks up with Woody

November 2025: Battle Nexus year, Mikey takes back his title

2032: Bishop, now going by a different name, becomes governor of New York

[monroestyne]

TMNT 2003 is so unhinged. They really said:

“We’re gonna have Ultimate Drako send each of the turtles into an alternate universe and they’ll each get they’re own episode it will be so cool!!”

Mikey gets to play superhero!

Leo gets to go on a samurai date with Usagi!

Raph gets to be a world racer!

And Donnie gets to go to a dystopian Shredder-verse where his dad is dead, and then he gets to watch all three of his brothers die horrific deaths while he kills the shredder once and for all! 🤠

How fun!!!!

[knight-engale]

Paris Rhodes Bio

Full Name: Paris Alexei Rhodes

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Shippable?: Very

Height: 6'2 (188cm)

Patron Arcana: TBD

Personality: Paris is a hands-on sort of person with a thirst for new ideas and experiences; he loves taking things apart to see how they work, or building new things. He's naturally creative and has no problem with using trial and error to problem-solve. He also has a wanderlust and impulsive energy that can't seem to be sated. He's quite sociable, despite being introverted. He loves teasing the people close to him, but is easily flustered when said behavior is directed at him. He's very loyal to the few people he lets into his inner circle.

Paris is also very stubborn and prone to being insensitive at times. He keeps his emotions and personal life incredibly private, making him difficult to get to know. He has a fear of commitment, and often leaves relationships once they start to get comfortable (but if presented as a challenge, he could be persuaded to stay). He's very prone to risky behavior, especially when he's bored--which happens a little too easily.

Magic Abilities:

Botanokinesis: Paris can control plants. This includes being able to summon, mutate, grow, or otherwise manipulate any manner of plant or vegetation.

Herbalism: Paris has extensive knowledge of plants and their properties, and is able to use this knowledge to create various potions and medicines.

Geokinesis: Paris can somewhat manipulate earth, but this ability is fairly limited.

Protection: Paris can use painted glyphs and runes to set shielding spells around a small area. These spells function as a blacklist, disallowing those with harmful intentions to cross.

Familiar: Paris has a close magical bond with his familiar, Hermes; a large Galbradan eagle-owl. They can communicate telepathically, and being in close proximity to Hermes boosts Paris's magic.

History:

Paris was born in Hellenes, the capital of the Republic of Galbrada, to a Galbradan priestess and a minor politician. He was unplanned, leaving his parents unsure of what to do with him; he had two older siblings who already had set plans for their lives, and the parents hadn't anticipated needing to come up with a goal to raise a third child for. They did their best to encourage him towards being a civil engineer, since he displayed a love of building as a young child, but he usually ended up doing his own thing instead. Often, this meant wandering away from the family's home and ending up in some sort of trouble.

At the age of 12, Paris was attending a formal event with his parents when he met Mórnkan Drakos, the 8 year old child of the richest family in the Republic. He found her interesting, especially because they had similar taste in books, and the two quickly became friends. They remained good friends and pen pals for many years.

When Paris turned 16, his parents sent him to the University of Hellenes to study for a few years. It was during this time that he took a great interest in botany; before then, he thought his magic was fun, but ultimately trivial. Studying botany gave him ample reason to strengthen his magic. During this time, he befriended an eagle-owl chick on campus, who he named Hermes and kept around as a friend. Despite his questionable work ethic, he graduated near the top of his class at age 22.

Shortly after graduating, Paris went back to his old trouble-finding ways, now aided by his stronger magic. This culminated in him being caught in the crossfire of attempted arson. He wasn't actually involved for once, but was arrested anyway. His parents decided that enough was enough after bailing him out, and sent him away to travel. They hoped it would help ground him. His travels did not have the intended effect, instead causing him to develop a taste for raucous parties and fling relationships.

At age 30, he found himself in the small city-state of Vesuvia and decided to stay for longer than usual. He currently bounces from job to job in order to pay for a little apartment in Center City.

Trivia:

He has the same MBTI type as Asra. Coincidentally, ISTP is the exact opposite of Morgan's MBTI type.

He's surprisingly strong for someone with scholarly tendencies. He likes to joke that he trains his muscles in order to be able to pick up Morgan.

His voice claim is still up in the air, but a strong contender is Christian Bale as Howl Pendragon Jenkins in Howl's Moving Castle.

His favorite fruit is pomegranate.

He has almost certainly hooked up with Julian at some point.

He and Morgan used to be in a friends-with-benefits relationship, but it didn't last very long.

He despises mushrooms; they're the only plant-like thing he can't control.
