TMNT BAYVERSE Reactions of the boys with the difference in the size of the hands
I wanted to start with something that crossed my mind in the first instance and that is... His hands! Literally anyone's hands would swim between those huge three-fingered hands. Now putting the situation that they were saved from an assault that was starting to get pretty ugly, anyone would expect it to be a good Samaritan, or maybe a policeman with a hockey mask, but the mysterious savior was a huge stranger... But they had saved you What could they complain about? They didn't let them see them but you wanted to say thank you, so why not a handshake? No one gets hurt just by a handshake.
✨🧡✨🧡✨🧡✨🧡✨
Miguel Angel: •First of all 100% excited, the first human (besides April, Casey and Vern) who didn't run away after being saved •That handshake was an absolute thrill for the one in orange •Although "Can a hand be so small?" •I had seen the hands of April, Casey and even Vern, but gosh, they didn't compare to yours. •I felt that your hand disappeared the moment it was wrapped by his •Conclusion: ABSOLUTELY SOUCED
✨♥️✨♥️✨♥️✨♥️✨
Raphael: • First of all distrustful • I mean can you blame him? To many he wasn't a pretty sight to look at at first glance and you offered him a handshake?! • He accepted the grip at the end of a few minutes but the grip was extremely soft • He panicked for a moment when he felt how your hand was completely wrapped in his • Your hand reminded him of the porcelain dolls that he used to find in garbage cans when he was younger and he remembered how they broke so easily in his hands. • he released you almost instantly when he had that memory, somehow he felt that if he was in his huge hands for a long time he would break you
✨💙✨💙✨💙✨💙✨
Leonardo: • Mister distrustful has entered the chat • Seriously speaking, the leader would be the most distrustful to accept a handshake just like that, who assures him that you weren't going to attack him at the first opportunity? • Even so, he is nice to you, and due to some insistence from his brothers, he would probably accept in the end. • When he takes your hand it reminds him of being in the "hashi" when he must be extremely careful with the eggs so as not to break them. • It's not a big problem for him really, he has perfect control for delicate things, so he expects a soft grip • And once you're okay he'll go into the shadows like the ninja he is, but that little warmth in his hand would be remembered for a while.
✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨
Donatello: • He expected to just leave as usual, so that request was not in his plans. • I would look at your hand for a few moments and then I would accept the handshake. • Like Leo, he doesn't have much of a problem with being more careful. • Ah worked with such delicate pieces that his control is practically as perfect as Leo's or more • Although in his mind he would have already created a comparison of your hand with April's, since it was a little smaller • He gets so absorbed in his thoughts that you would have to say something for me to return your hand, what can I say? You aroused a curiosity in him.
✨💙✨💜✨♥️✨🧡✨💙✨💜✨♥️✨🧡
Hello!
I know it goes without saying that I've been a fan of turtles in many of their versions and I absolutely love the way so many people on Tumblr write about them. (Many of those that I follow who are dedicated to writing and/or drawing are an administration for me)
At last I have been encouraged to share some Headcanons that I have of the turtles initially with the TMNT 2014/2016 version, better known as Tmnt Bayverse. (For some reason that version made me love them so much, maybe because they look so beautiful!)
I'm really sorry if some things sound strange, the truth is I'm still learning English, so my biggest help is the translator.
And I'm still learning how to use Tumblr and its tools so the text probably looks a little weird

Rapheal (TMNT 2014/2016) - Chapter 3
None of them could find the right words. For one your father was relieved. In high school he’d been overprotective. So when you started living on your own, his worry meter spiked. You being in the hospital just waking from a coma probably didn’t help matters.
It was strange. Maybe you’d imagined it, but the first face you saw when you woke up wasn’t a doctor. It wasn’t even your father. It was Raph. Physically, you knew it was impossible. April and Vern came in the second they heard the news, so you have no doubt that the boys already know. But in those waking seconds, you’d seen Raph’s eyes. Instead of the usual rebellious defiance he wore so proudly with a smirk. There was a look of fear. Hurt.
Pain.
Raph’s eyes were filled with tears in that moment when he found you. It must have been. It was the only thing you could have registered.
“Are you sure you’re okay sweetheart?”
You nod, sending a smile to your father.
“I’m fine, just hungry.” He laughed, and your brothers were grinning in the background.
“Of course the first thing she thinks about is food. You’ll never change.”
There was nothing but smiles exchanged around the room.
You were happy, relieved. But for some reason, that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach wouldn’t leave. Somehow you knew it wouldn’t disappear until you saw Raph. Until you knew for sure he was okay.
~ One month Later~
“Could you please leave.” You were shoving your father playfully out the door.
“Honey please are you sure there’s nothing else you need!”
“I’m positive.” You say pointedly. His shoulders sag.
“I’m sorry, I know I’m being a helicopter dad.” He did air quotes with his hands.
“I’m just worried. Your abilities-”
“I’ll be fine.” You interrupt. He knew it was a touchy subject. Reaching over, he pulled you into a hug, one which you returned.
“You should go see them today.” You swallow at the suggestion. You’ve been up and about for at least three weeks. Although you’d spoken to the boys over the phone, you had yet to see them. The hospital had finally released you after all your complaints of being held hostage there. Now it felt a bit daunting to go to the lair. To see them.
See Raph.
There were nights when you could have sworn you saw him outside the window at night. Maybe even felt him. If you did, he never made himself known. You just kept seeing that face. Those eyes. Filled with regret and pain.
“I’m heading over now.” Your father pulled back with a grin.
“I knew I raised a smart kid.”
It’s crazy how life worked. Two years ago when he found out about your abilities he was fully against this lifestyle. But he realized then that no matter what he thought, you would do it. Because he raised you to be fearless. To put the needs of others before your own even if it is scary sometimes. He was terrified, everyday you were out of his sight he was. But this was your life. He needed to respect it. Because above all else, he wanted to be a part of it. No matter how terrifying, how messy. Although he had released you from the hug, he hadn’t moved.
“Dad?”
He ran a hand through his hair.
“Please just..be careful.”
No amount of reassurance would ever quell his fear. You understand that.
“I will.”
This promise would have to be enough.
~~
It’s weird how anxious you feel walking through the sewers. You want to see their faces when you break the corner. You can already picture where they all are. Mikey at the game console. Donnie watching adorable cat videos as he works on his tech. Leo, probably giving Raph his hundredth lecture for who knows what.
You laugh to yourself, stepping through the opening. Your eyes lift at the lights that littered the ceiling. It’s comforting to know nothing has changed. Somehow your mind constructed a reality where everything was different. You break the corner, right next to the refrigerator. Someone is standing there. They close the door, and your eyes meet the minute the object is no longer separating you.
Those green eyes light up in the most wonderful way. This expression, it’s what you’d hoped for. Raph can’t utter any words. He drops the slice of pizza in his hand, and you can’t seem to stop yourself. You run into his chest. He doesn’t react, not at first. But when he’s sure it’s real, his hands lower, and he wraps his arms around you. You release a soft sound of content, and he reacts in turn. Holding just a bit tighter.
“She’s here..”
He doesn’t say it aloud.
Mikey’s yell breaks the moment, and you pull back, grinning as you hear his little cheers. Leo and Donnie spot you, and their reactions are not much different. Leo pulls you into a hug, lifting you off the ground happily, and your laughter echoes throughout the hall. Splinter stands in the background, arms folded into his sleeves. Safe to say everyone is ecstatic. When Leo finally places you on your feet, you give them the good news.
“The doctor says I’m fully healed. Fit as a horse.”
“Pretty soon you’re gonna be kicking butt with us again!!” Mikey cheers. The change of your expression is slow, and you try to cover it quickly, but Leo reads the change before you can hide it.
“(Y/N), what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m fine, trust me.”
“You’re lying.” Raph is the one who speaks, and they turn to him briefly.
You’re astonished that he’s read you that quickly.
“It’s not a big deal. I promise I just..” You take a deep breath.
“I think my little accident came with some repercussions.”
They don’t like the sound of that. Raph’s jaw sets. You don’t want to cause unnecessary worry. They’re probably imagining the worst right now.
“It’s not as bad as you think. It’ll just be a while before I’m out in the field because I… lost my powers.”
The look of shock is littered on all their faces.
“(Y/N)..” Leo sounds devastated. You just shook your head with a little laugh.
“It’s okay. I’ve read about these types of situations. It could be all in my head. Maybe what happened was just a lot for my brain to handle. My powers are probably still here. I just…I’m not sure how to turn them back on. If they ever will. “ Donnie’s hands drop.
“But I don’t care. Because it was worth it. April is safe and I get to see…I..I got to see you guys again..”
Before you know it, you’re sobbing. You can’t stop it. Mikey is the one that rushes forward, pulling you into a hug. His face is buried into your shoulder, and he holds on tight. Your shoulders shake, and you can feel his give a slight quake against your body. So you return the embrace, squeezing as tightly as you can. Nothing else needs to be said.
~~~
The news was hard to hear, but they were safe. You were alive. You couldn’t have asked for anything better. After some much needed crying, Raph had offered his room for you to take a nap. Emotions had been at an all time high. So you weren’t even surprised when you woke up to Raph sitting on the floor with his back at the door. You stirred, and he caught the movement. He stood slowly, and you rose, wiping the edge of your eyes.
“How long was I out?”
“A few hours.”
You looked down at your watch, rubbing your neck bashfully.
“Sorry I stole your bed.”
“Aint a problem. How ya feeling?”
“Much better. Crying is good for the soul.” You joked.
It was in poor taste, you knew that, but you couldn’t see another way to help him feel at ease. Because the moment you told them, there was guilt in his eyes. Like he was responsible. When truthfully there was nothing he could have done. So you try to divert the conversation.
“Leo told me you were there all the time, waiting for me.” Raph turns his head.
“We were all worried.”
“You were the one that pulled me out of the rubble.”
That statement seemed to trigger a bad reaction.
“Why the hell ya bringing that up!!”
He looks pissed, and you can’t seem to figure out why. Your brows knit.
“Raph I’m sorry I-”
“You think it was easy seeing ya like that! Ya made a stupid decision to sacrifice yourself!”
He seems enraged, and you mean to defend yourself, but he’s wearing that look. The one you’d seen just before you lost consciousness as he pulled you from beneath the fallen building. It wasn’t just pain, or fear. You couldn’t believe you hadn’t seen it before.
It was love.
He was…in love with you.
Your cheeks color against your will, and when your fingers dig into the sheets, Raph’s little tantrum dies down. He takes in everything. Your wide eyes, staggered breath. Cherry cheeks. It’s when he looks into your eyes that he knows. He knows you know.
“Shit.” He curses, taking a step back.
“W-Wait!! Raph!!” You stumble out of the bed, reaching for his hand. You try to take it, but he keeps at a distance, looking at anywhere but you.
“H-How long have you..”
“I ain’t expecting anything from ya.”
That’s all he says, and he still won’t meet your eyes. How could you have been so blind?
You weren’t supposed to discover it, that’s clear.
“Raph, are you really-”
“Ain't it obvious?” He sounds annoyed again.
Raph grumbles internally.
“I’m being petty.”
He’d been so sure that he could hide it. He promised himself that day that all he needed was for you to be okay. Nothing else mattered. He’d live forever with these one sided feelings if it meant he could see the warmth of your eyes again.
He’d gotten the wish too. It felt selfish to want more, but he did. Deep down he wanted it all. He wanted to be the one you ran to when you had news you couldn’t shoulder on your own. The ear you told secrets too. But he wasn’t the one you wanted in that position. It hurt. The truth hurt more than he wanted to admit. He clenched his fists, turning to the door. He needed to leave. Gather his thoughts. He barely made it a step to the door, because you wrapped your hands around his waist from behind, pressing your face into his back and his entire body went tense.
“Stop running from me..”
It was a whisper, and he wanted to curse. Because your tone, doubled with your breath on his back really wasn’t helping his resolve.
“What do ya want from me?” It was all he could muster. Because you knew and you were intentionally keeping him here. He just wanted to pretend it never happened.
“Raph I-”
“I don’t want ya charity.”
He knew it was childish. He was being unfair. But he wasn’t about to accept a half hearted confession given out of pity either. Rejection would have been better. At least that would be honest. Real. He knew the type of person you were. You would set aside your feelings if it meant someone else would be happy. He’d seen it first hand.
“So if that’s what ya thinking then ya should just-”
“I-I want to love you!!”
Your words made his little protest pause.
You hide your face in his back.
“What…”
Maybe he misheard.
You pull back slowly, and the color hasn’t left your cheeks.
“I..I want to love you Rapheal.”
There is no reply he can think of to retort to that. This wasn’t some false declaration of your love. Or even a pity party. It was a request to love him.
He can’t say that he ever saw this coming. Your eyes are almost pleading with him. Raph gulps at the hold you seem to have on him.
“Can I..love you Raph?”
He stammers.
“Uhhh..sure w-whatever.” He folds his arms, clearing his throat.
“I hope ya know I ain’t the lovey dovey type. Don’t go expecting me to be all cutesy. That aint me.”
He’s plenty cute. He just doesn't know it.
“I don’t want any weird nicknames either!”
“Understood.”
“If ya think ya can push me around like ya do with Leo ya wrong.”
“I’d never dream of it.”
He’s trying to think up more points to discourage you, but your smile seems to get wider with every word he speaks. He’s convinced that this is having the opposite effect. So he settles for running.
“I’m getting pizza.”
“Okay.”
He turns, heading for the door muttering under his breath, and you just watch him go. He stops right at the door, halfway out.
“Ya want any?” He mumbles. You giggle to yourself.
“Yes please, I’ll have a slice. “
“I’ll grab a soda too. Ya always craving that grape one.” He’s out the door, and you can’t stop the broad smile.
As much as he tries to act detached, you realize now that Raph is the type who probably subconsciously does sweet gestures and brushes it off with a gruff response to save his little tough guy image.
“I don’t think he realizes he’s acting like a caring boyfriend already.”
This would be a ride.

Just watched the live-action TMNT movie (2014? 2016?), and was. A little confused.
I didn't grow up watching TMNT, so maybe this is normal, but. It wasn't about the turtles.
April was far and away the main character, the most developed character, the one driving the plot forward. The turtles were there, and they were cool, but April was the star.
And it wasn't a BAD movie. April is the kind of protagonist that I want to beg to make better life choices, but she has a huge heart, and that makes up a lot of points for me.
Also, Vern my beloved, but that's a separate post.
I'm not sure I'm going to tag this as anything, I think, but... Yeah, an interesting time.

TMNT: Why Don’t You Do Right [REVISED]
The Turtles are on a mission to get the latest inside dirt on crime boss, Don Vizioso, for his latest scheme involving all mutants. They learned from their friend, Vern, that one of the best ways to get closer to the crime boss was to go through his personal attendant/assassin. But the second they see the informant, Raphael may start have other thoughts in mind altogether
One-Shot Sexy Jazzy-Symphony
Warning: Sexiness Overload
Words: 1205
--
The Turtles managed to sneak in an underground club for mutants with a little help from Vern (who happens to be close with one Vizioso’s men). Vern informed them that the Don had a personal attendant whom he shares most of secrets and plans involving ruling over the city. And even more conveniently, she was performing at the club tonight which be perfect for getting backstage. Vern managed to get them good seats at the front of the stage as he made an order for a Johnny-On-The-Rocks drink. They soon heard a familiar voice and found it to be the last person they’d expect to see of all places.
April: (carries a tray of classic smoke products) Cigars? Cigarettes? (suddenly notices the Turtles at the stage) Guys?
Leo: (turns to April, surprised) April?
April: Long time, no see (puts down the tray, smiling)
Donnie: (blushes at her current look) What are you doing here? And why are you dressed as a blonde club waitress?
April: (whispers) Currently, I’m undercover hoping to get the latest scoop on the Don. Also, work’s been kinda slow since the recession started. Figured this could help me bring some extra cash while I’m at it. But I still got it like Betty Boop, you guys. (poses cutely, winking) Boop-Boop-Be-Do-Boop!!
Mikey: (smiles goofily, dreamy-eyed) Yeah, ya sure do
Crowd: (cheers suddenly for the upcoming act as the curtains rose)
Vern: (straightens out his jacket, spritz some cologne as well as some mouth spray, anxious)
Raph: (weirded out a little) What’s with him?
April: Apparently, Vern never seems to miss a night when my cousin, Sakura, performs. And it just so happens that she’s undercover as the Don’s “personal attendant”
Raph: (chuckles slightly) Weirdo’s got a thing for tight-skirts as usual
Soon the audience fell silent as the spotlight hit the bottom of the show curtain. Vern was ecstatic to no end waiting for the magic to start. The Turtles settled in as the show began. Suddenly, a enchanting voice could be heard from behind curtain as a curvaceous bare leg slowly popped out and then a rather impressive rack. The curtains flew open to reveal the most stunning vision in all the underground club, Sakura Vayle. Her tan skin glowed in the spotlight enhancing the beauty of her strong and immaculate figure. Her alluring aqua green eyes twinkled like stars on the sea. Her full wavy waist-length ebony hair flowed with style & grace. Her makeup consisted of red-black lipstick with rose-gold eye shadow and red nail polish. She was wearing a sexy, sparkling, tight and backless red dress with an above mid-thigh cut off and a string-strap V-neckline below the waistline with double-cross straps under her cleavage. And her accessories consisted of a white golden belt hanging off her hip, red leg-strapped high heels, golden wristbands and bracelets, a diamond-crested choker, and diamond-studded earrings. Raph became completely hypnotized by this lovely creature strutting down the stage singing like an angel.
Sakura: ♫ You had plenty money now 1922 ♫ (sticks a bare leg out the curtain following her cleavage)
Raph: (sees the curvy leg and bust suddenly getting a strange feeling)
Sakura: (goes full display as the curtains part for her entry, strutting onto the stage) ♫ You let other women make a fool of you ♫
Raph: (sits there wide-eyed with his mouth hung open while looking up and down her figure in that sexy red outfit, particularly those long supple legs, round-shapely backside, hypnotically large breasts, and her alluring visage)
Leo: (begins to lose all peace of mind upon noticing her grace and style matching that of her beauty suddenly getting so many naughty ideas of what)
Donnie: (gets a mild nosebleed from, shocked and amazed to seeing such a curvaceous body wanting to study every inch of her)
Mikey: (goes wide-eyed and smiles all goofy with his tongue hanging out like a lovestruck puppy, staring especially at her luxurious hair wanting like crazy to smell/touch/brush it)
Sakura: (goes to side of the stage as the curtain revealed the band playing the song, sexily sliding down the sidewall whilst swaying her hips) ♫ Why don’t you right like some other men do? ♫ (goes to opposite end, casually knocking back a drooling patron off the stage) ♫ Get out of here, get me some money too ♫
Donnie: (leans over to April, whispering) That’s your cousin?
April: Mmmhmm (smiles proudly)
Raph: (shockingly asks with his mouth still hung open) She’s the Don’s personal attendant and assassin? And he hasn’t hit that yet?
April: Yeah, my cousin has a lot more pride and class than that. Man, what a lucky girl (shuts Raph’s mouth less he started drooling himself)
Sakura: (walks down the catwalk) ♫ Now you had prepared 20 years ago ♫ (slides one heel up her slender leg) ♫ You wouldn't be a-wanderin' out from door to door ♫ (stops at the front of catwalk, slowly pushes down Vern by the face to sit him back down) ♫ Why don't you do right ♫
Turtles: (continued to stare in amazement, enthralled by her voice as she approached them)
Sakura: ♫ Like some other men do? ♫
Donnie: (offers his hand to her, helping her step off the stage)
Sakura: (casually steps behind Donnie before playfully pinching his cheeks) ♫ Get out of here ♫
Donnie: (blushes at the feeling before touching his face, thinking inwardly) *I’ll never wash this face again*
Sakura: (sneaks Donnie’s personal hanky out of his pocket before using it to coyly shine Mikey’s head) ♫ And get me some money too ♫
Mikey: (loses it completely at the touch before suddenly slumping to the floor with a huge smile on his face, blushing wildly)
Sakura: (seductively walks over to Leo, sitting on his lap while placing her soft hands on his broad shoulders with her breasts pressing against his plastron as she leaned in) ♫ Get out of here ♫
Leo: (taken aback at the sudden bold act as he awkwardly leaned as well, blushing nervously assuming she was going to kiss him)
Sakura: ♫ And get me some money too ♫ (lightly pushes his lips away as she slowly got up walking around to Raph finally) ♫ Why don’t you do right ♫ (props herself atop the stage next to him, showing off her leg before crossing it)
Raph: (his heart start beating wildly as he started to sweat, unsure of how much longer he could last)
Sakura: ♫ Like some other men… ♫ (twirls back fully atop the stage before leaning and grabbing Raph by the chain of his sunglasses, pulling him close to her with lips puckered)
Raph: (blushes beet red as those wonderfully full lips draws closer, eyes widening in a panic of what’s to come)
Sakura: ♫ Doooooo ♫ (lets the chain slip out of her hand as she pulls away slowly in an alluring manner)
Raph: (stands there for a few seconds before slowly slumping back into his seat, gulping hard and stares hopelessly as she walked away)
Sakura: (sways her hips back up the catwalk, looking back Raph winking before the curtains closed behind her)
Crowd: (cheers wildly, whooping and whistling for the Bell of the Club)

🎄Deck The Halls: TMNTxReader oneshot
This holiday, Deck The Halls takes a new meaning👊💥
(( this takes place sometime after the Out of the Shadows movie; this was going to be something else but i decided to wait to plan it all out so i hope you enjoy this with what little time i had💖))
The gang is having a Christmas get together in the turtle lair. The smell of food filled the air with what Mikey cooked and April bought or cooked herself. Vern and Casey bought whatever they could to compete with Mikey's cooking. Donnie has gathered a playlist of Christmas music and played it to put everyone in the mood. Leo's and Splinter's smiles beamed with happiness. They loved seeing everyone laughing and having a good time. Even Raph was having fun; he claimed to love Christmas more than Mikey, more than anyone.
Splinter looked up at his eldest son and said in a jokingly tone,"For once, our family is at peace."
Leo chuckled,"Yeah. Even though we've spent 17 Christmases together, this one is different, even different from the ones these past few years." Besides the occasional burglaries and minor crime doers, the end of this year was more peaceful that it ever had been.
Everything seemed perfect... well, almost perfect...
Your turtle beau anxiously waited your arrival. He couldn't help it. This was your first Christmas together as a couple. He'd been waiting for a whole year since you had plans last year. But you managed to plan ahead to spend time with his family, too, because they all became a part of your family.
He then heard your voice echoing through the lair. He greeted you at the entrance. "Hey, baby."
"Hey, baby, did i miss anything?"
"Nah, the party's just gettting started." He smiled and winked at you, making you blush pink. He loved seeing you blush; he thought you were adorable, which you always were.
*Time skip a few hours*
As everyone was getting ready to dig into the food, Donnie's computer picked up on a news broadcast that a bank was getting robbed. "The Bank of New York has just been reported being broken in," the news anchor told. They also said that there was a few other bank robberies that happened earlier today, and they showed a slightly blurred picture of 2 mutants at both banks. "Could they be connected? We're waiting for police-"
"What!? Seriously, can't these guys just wait till after Christmas?!" Mikey complained.
Leo/Raph/Donnie/Mikey looked back at you. He knew what he had to do. "Do you think you can wait for me, babe?" he asked with a little side smile.
You smiled back. "Youve waited a whole year. I think i can wait a few hours, if i have to."
"Thanks, hun. You're the best." He gave you a quick kiss and then followed his brothers to gear up and go up to the surface. "Let's go deck the halls!" Mikey cried out, followed by the groans of Leo, Donnie, and Raph.
*time skip again*
It was after midnight before your beloved turtle and his brothers strolled in, feeling so pooped, so tired. They had to bring Bebop and Rocksteady, and Shredder, down before the cops that they didnt know showed up. His brothers went off to do whatever they wanted to relax. He strolled toward you on the couch and snuggled with you, letting out a sigh of exhaustion and satisfaction.
"Glad to be home." he said as he nuzzled his snout into your hair.

TMNT Universe!Reader x Turtles 4
A giant rat. Four mutated turtles. These were now your roommates. Did I mention your living quarters were inside a sewer?
You always wondered how nobody ever found them by accident. Surely, there were teams of employees that worked in the sewers. If there was anything that seemed fishy or out of place, they’d be called to investigate. Right?
To be honest, it was kind of amazing. They lived underneath people that would possibly never even know they existed. They fought crime in the shadows, protecting people that would never know their names.
Except April. Casey. That Falcon guy, what was his name again? And those police officers you remembered from the 2016 movie. They all knew, but that was it. That was a very small friends list. It was smaller than your own, which was really saying something.
No wonder they were so out of touch with socialization. And socializing.
“What time is it?” you asked, finally breaking the pregnant silence that ensued after your prolonged questioning.
“Almost two in the afternoon,” Donatello answered immediately.
You hummed quietly to yourself. “What do you guys usually do all day?”
“Depends, dudette,” Michelangelo said with a sly smile. “Depends on our company.” After a firm wack from his red-banded brother, he forced a laugh. “We eat, train, play video games. Like anybody else.”
You started to reconsider your promise to not get a job or anything up top. This was a dream situation, really, but was that really it?
These boys needed some spice in their lives.
“How old are you guys now?” you asked.
“Twenty-ish,” the blue-banded leader said. “We don’t really have birthdays, but we know we’re all at least twenty.”
“You don’t have birthdays?” Your expression changed from surprise to pure sadness. “I can’t imagine not having a birthday. You don’t know your star signs, your daily horoscopes, when the right day is to finally have your first drink- legally, anyway-, that kind of sucks.”
“It’s not like we can throw a party anyway,” Raphael said. “It would be like any other day in the sewers.”
Well, they weren’t wrong. If your calculations were correct, and you were pretty sure they were, this was 2020 in their time as well. You thought that in the 2014 movie they had been around 15, and around 17 in the 2016 movie. It made sense they were around 20 or 21 by now. Meaning it was only about five or so years since they met April and the Falcon guy, and three or four years since they met Casey Jones.
(If the turtles weren’t an option, you’d definitely go for Casey. He just had this way about him. It was too bad you figured he was well along with April by this point.)
“That only tells me that we have years to make up in parties,” you said with a grin. “Around twenty to be exact. Besides, parties don’t have to have fifty people. I’d much rather prefer a party with less than ten people that I’m close to. It’s too much otherwise.”
In less than ten minutes, you found yourself planning a party for four mutant turtles that didn’t even exist in your universe. Sure, they weren’t teenagers anymore, but they were close enough to probably enjoy some high school party games. Spin the bottle, truth or dare, two truths and a lie, House Party- they were probably too old to play musical chairs, right?
You weren’t even sure if alcohol was on the table or not.
You liked video games as much as the next person, but there was something more genuine about playing games without electronics. Maybe it was just you being nostalgic. Monopoly on the Nintendo Switch just didn’t have the same dramatic effect as playing it at the dinner table, with the banker not really keeping great track of the money.
The game of Life probably wouldn’t be a great idea. Would they be able to even hold the tiny people pegs?
This party could just consist of you, the four boys, and Splinter- but on second thought, you weren’t sure how he would react to a jolly game of spin the bottle. You’d have to get in contact with Casey, April, and maybe even that other dude. What the heck was his name?
“Hey, Donnie,” you called, leaning over the notepad you had been writing on. “What’s the dude’s name that took credit for that whole thing that happened with Sacks and the mutagen?”
He seemed a bit taken aback by the question. “Vernon. Why, what do you need with him?”
“I might be adding him to the guest list,” you said slowly, trying to judge his face for his reaction. It seemed positive enough. “Might make things a little more interesting.”
“Are you really planning us a party?” Michelangelo asked as he plopped down next to you on the couch.
You quickly hid the list at your side. “Maybe. I’m not really a planner per se, but you guys deserve something like this.”
“You’ve known us for less than a day,” he said with a lilt in his voice. He frowned. “How do you know what we deserve?”
“If everything I know about you guys is true, you deserve at the very least a celebration of your existence,” you said matter-of-factly. “Since I don’t know your birthdays. I think it’ll be fun.”
“That’s so nice!”
“Reading stuff about you guys brought me out of funks many times in my life, it’s only right that I do something for you, too.” You just smiled. It was still such a surreal situation. Were you really going to throw a party for these turtles? And invite April, Casey, and Vern?
“As long as it’s alright with you,” you said quickly. “I am just a guest right now- an unwelcome guest at that.”
“Nah, don’t even think that! We’ve dealt with way weirder stuff. It’s nothing having you here. If you’re looking for permission, I’d probably talk to Leonardo or Master Splinter. Probably Leo more, though.”
It wasn’t like this was some illegal drug-infused party. Why did you feel so nervous to ask the blue-banded leader for permission?

TMNT - 2016 - Loss - Donnie x Loona(OC)
A/N: This is like a comfort thing I guess. Loona’s pronouns are he/him/his. My actual grandfather passed away on April 18, I used to call him papaw. The stuff like throwing up and having a panic attack I never actually did but I wanted to make this a bit dramatic because that’s just who I am, a dramatic person. Also Raph, Mikey, Leo, Splinter, April, Casey and Vern met my parents along with my grandfather.
Summary: Loona’s grandfather passed away a little over a month ago and is still getting over his death. Having no where to turn he goes to the lair to seek Donnie for comfort.
______________
Loona’s POV
I had gotten the most painful phone call from my mother in Florida, I heard my papaw had gotten the stupid covid virus and wasn’t going to survive.
“He passed away just a few minutes ago.” My mother cried on the other end.
“I-okay.” And hung up.
I collapsed to my knees and hunched over, my body was shaking with every sob that left my throat.
*Later That Night*
I sat in the same spot since the call, I hadn’t moved at all and my body was letting me know by all the aches in my joints from sitting in the same position for hours.
After another 5 minutes I decided to go see Donnie. I grabbed my jacket and a backpack with overnight clothes since I was gonna spend the night. I grabbed my phone and charger and headed out to find a manhole.
Once I found one, I looked around then lifted it up and climbed down.
I knew my way to the lair by heart so I didn’t take long to find. I walked in a saw Mikey and Raph watching tv.
“Hey dude! Glad you could join us this time a night!” Mikey smiles pulling me into a hug. It took everything in me not to break down. “Is Donnie in his lab? I need to talk with him.”
“Yeah, says he was coming to hang with you later but your already here so..” Mikey pointed to Don’s lab with his thumb.
“Thanks.” I mutter and walk over to the lab and open the door to see Donnie hard at work.
“Hey dove, I was about to head to your apartment but I got a little caught up in my work, sorry.”
“It’s fine.” I sigh and set my bag down.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Donnie sets down his tools, he looks at me with a concerning look.
“You remember my papaw?”
“Yeah, he was surpriseingly smart for his age. I think me and him had formed a good bond, I would love to see him again.” Donnie smiled.
That comment is was broke me, I broke down in tears and collapsed to my knees sobbing.
“He passed away today, around 2:30.” I cried.
I looked up to see Donnies eyes fill with tears, he let out a sob before coming to hug me.
“I’m so sorry baby, I had no idea. Did he pass away from old age or..?”
“The fucking covid virus.” I angrily cried. “I didn’t even get to say goodbye! You never got to say goodbye! I just want him back!” I yelled.
“I know baby, shh, shh, breathe.” Donnie cooed.
But I couldn’t and sent me into a panic attack. “P-panic, a-attack!” I heaved, Donnie quickly grabbed an empty bucked and put in underneath my mouth, I threw up, coughing and gasping for air.
“Shh, shh, I’m here sweetheart, take it easy.” Donnie rubber my back.
A few minutes pass and I’m in Donnies arms silently crying. I hadn’t even noticed Don’s brothers, including Splinter, April, and Casey all standing at the door for the whole duration of my panic attack. They were all worried and it showed, even Raph looked upset.
“Is everything alright my son?” Splinter asks Donnie.
“No, Loo, you have to tell them.” Donnie whispers to me.
I sit up in Donnies arms but don’t leave. “M-my papaw passed away this afternoon around 2:30 from covid.” I look up to see April in tears hugging Casey, Leo was silently letting tears fall down his cheeks along with Raph, and Mikey was sobbing in his hands.
“So that’s why you were yelling.” Leo said.
“Yeah.” I mutter.
The turtle brothers along with Splinter, April and Casey had grown to like my grandfather for the short duration he visited New York with my parents. And now them all hearing that he passed was devastating.
They all knew I was devastated the most.
*Timeskip*
I was in Donnies lap dozing off as he worked on his computer. “Sweetness?”
“Hmm?” I hummed.
“Are you hungry?”
“No.” I shake my head.
“Are you thirsty?” He asked.
“Yes.” I nod.
“Luckily I have a waterbottle, that has been unopened, ready for you.” He says as he carefully leans over to grab it as to not squish me against him.
“Thank you.” I whisper.
“Your welcome love, I’m here for you no matter what.” He softly kisses my head.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”

The Good, the Bad, and the IDK How To Feel About That of: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) (Part 1)
My thoughts on the 2016 TMNT movie (not going to lie, I liked it so much more that the first one), what I liked about it and what I didn’t, with some random smart-alek comments and rambling in there because I can. My opinions will differ from others, now let’s have some fun!
Good: STRAIGHT TO THE TURTLES!!! It took so long to show them in the first movie, now we’re getting them right away!
Good: DONNIE GETS THE FIRST LINE!!! I felt like Donnie was severely underappreciated in the first movie and HOLY HECK do they make up for it in this one.
Good: “Squirrel formation, lol”
Good: “Do it, do it, not gonna stop until you do it” Lol, A+ on the sibling relationship there, if I had a nickel for every time one of my siblings did something similar then I wouldn’t have to worry about student loans.
Good: The ENTIRE bit from when they jump off of that building, to when they get to the basketball game, like they’re just flipping all over the place while having fun and I love it.
Bad: MIKEY IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A “PIZZA LOVER”, HE’S THE LITTLE BROTHER, THE HEART OF THE TEAM, THE GOOFY KID THAT COULD MAKE HIS BROTHERS SMILE EVEN AFTER THE ROUGHEST DAY, YOU KNOW THAT IF THEY LOST HIM THEIR WORLD WOULD BE SO MUCH DARKER, DON’T DEGRADE HIM TO JUST A “PIZZA LOVER”!!!
Good: How hyped they all get while watching the game, especially Donnie, it’s adorable.
**Well, they made it pretty obvious what the main Raph v. Leo conflict is going to be, didn’t they?
Bad: HOW DARE YOU GET THEIR HOPES UP LIKE THAT!!!
Good: DONNIE’S PEASHOOTER! AND HOW THEY ALL GET SUPER INVESTED IN PRANKING VERN! I LOVE IT! (You can even see Leo laughing with them, even when he’s trying to be the responsible one.
Good: Freaking HECK they act so much like teenagers in this movie and I love it!
Good: Lol, casually shocks younger brother.
Good: I LOVE THE WATCH THAT DONNIE MADE FOR APRIL (not going to lie, I didn’t recognize April until she took off the wig, but that’s just me being horrible at recognizing people, lol)
IDK: Come on Stockman, 15 decimal points of Pi is nothing, I know 5th graders that can go out to at least 40. Up your game man, you’re supposed to be a genius.
Bad: April’s disguise walk. Come on, people, did we really need that?
Good: THE LITTLE CARTOON DONNIE FACE THAT WAS DISPLAYED! THE LITTLE ‘HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL’ JINGLE! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
Good: THEY’RE ALL SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME! YOU CAN EVEN SEE LEO DOING A LITTLE JUMP THING!!! IT’S ADORABLE!!!
Good: That was soooooo Leo’s slice of pizza, wasn’t it? Lol
IDK: IDK how basketball works but you’d think that pizza on the court would be some kind of foul or something.
Good: BUMBLEBEE!!! (I know it’s because of how Michael Bay worked on the Transformers movies but I will always love Transformers in general)
Good: Donnie uses the ‘heroes in a half-shell’ jingle for everything and it’s great
Good: I love how they got Stephen Amell to play Casey Jones, I used to watch Arrow a lot so it’s cool to see him in this.
Good: I LOVE HOW THEIR NEW LAIR IS SET UP, CAN I HAVE A WATER SLIDE IN MY HOME TOO???
Good: THE TRUCK!!! AND HOW EVEN THOUGH HIS BROTHERS ARE AMAZED BY IT, DONNIE’S JUST THINKING OF ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT STILL NEED WORK.
Good: Donnie just instantly jumping into engineer mode, messing with wires while rambling about what needs work still, hyperfocused to the point that they nearly crash into the wall. What a mood, Donnie is amazing in this movie.
Bad: Why didn’t they up the security for Shredder’s transport? He’s a crimelord with tons of followers, and yet they only did their standard transport, were they not expecting someone to try and break him out?
Good: “I’m Finnish, because when I start a beat-down, I finish it!” PUNS, I LIVE FOR THEM
Good: Not going to lie, while Bebop and Rocksteady were definitely intended to be the comic relief, I love how good of a friendship they have, like throughout the movie they’re just continuously joking around with each other.
Bad: Unprepared shot gun when transporting a guy that won’t hesitate to murder you.
Good: The driver’s tone of voice when saying the shells are in the bag because he knows he messed up, lol
Good: GIANT NUNCHUCKS!!! LIKE DONNIE JUST LOOKED AT THE DUMPTRUCK ARMS THINKING ‘What can I do with these…” AND THEN DECIDING TO MAKE THEM INTO GIANT NUNCHUCKS!!!
Good: All of those features in the truck, there’s SO MUCH and I love it all!!! (I’m such a nerd, lol)
**OMG, the Arc Capacitor is going to bring Cybertron to Earth! We’re going all G1 of the Transformers cartoon, aren’t we? (I’m being a sarcastic nerd, ignore me, lol)
Good: The little tongue thing Donnie does while thinking is adorable (they make him so relatable in this movie and I love it)
IDK: Wow, they’re just hammering home the whole ‘they can’t be seen by humans’ thing in this movie. (I know it’s a plot point but it feels forced, you know they’re aware of this stuff already.
Bad: Honestly though, they only had two people in the truck and they were ambushed, they’re being super tough on Casey.
Bad: IDK if I’m just not understanding the conversation, but when they’re talking about Rocksteady hitting a guard, it sounds like they’re talking about Casey, but it was Bebop that knocked him out
Good: Leg clan, lol
Good: THE SKATEBOARD CAN FLY!!! (It would be so insanely complex, like using balance to control both left/right and up/down, but then would you use amount you’re leaning one way as speed or degree of turning…there’s so many possibilities and I’m too much of a nerd, I want to know how it works)
Bad: The turtles couldn’t go with April to TCRI because it was almost light out, but when she gets there it’s almost night and then she gets saved by the turtles because then it is night and they can go outside.
Bad: STOCKMAN DOESN’T TEST THE MIXTURE OR ANYTHING TO SEE WHAT IT’S MADE OF, JUST JUMPS TO INJECTING PEOPLE WITH IT
Bad: ROCKSTEADY, YOU DON’T JUST LICK THINGS IN PETRI DISHES, THAT’S HOW PEOPLE DIE
Good: I do like how Bebop and Rocksteady’s transformation looks visually, especially when all of Rocksteady’s hair falls out, it’s pretty cool
Bad: “…gene tying us to our animal ancestors” NO. THAT’S NOT…NO!!! IF THIS GUY HAS A DEGREE IN ANYTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY RELATED TO BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM!!!
Good: Lol, even Shredder gives Stockman a look like “even I know that’s not how science works”
Good: Casey Jones with his hockey mask and stick, I approve
Good: THE NINJA WOOD FLUTE SOUND WITH THE TURTLES ARRIVAL!!!
Good: Casey’s reaction to the turtles, how they’re just laughing at it, and Mikey deciding to mess with him, lol
Good: Mikey’s introduction of the turtles, especially how Donnie just plays along
Good: April says that the purple ooze like the stuff in the dart she has mutated people, and Donnie instantly jumps into science mode
(Splitting this into 2 parts again, lol)

Have Yourself a Merry Turtle Christmas
A TMNT 2016 Christmas fic I wrote and completely forgot about.
Casey gets dragged into more shenanigans, because this is his life now.
Casey shoved open the door of his car and climbed out.
“Donatello!” He yelled, voice echoing down the tunnel. Donnie stuck his head around the corner.
“Hey Casey.”
““You need to stop sending your packages to my house! There were ten today! My landlord could barely get out the door!” And boy had she let him know it.
“Oh great, they’re here!” Donnie exclaimed, as if he didn’t even give shit, which he didn’t. “Did you put them in the back?”
Without even waiting for an answer, Donnie opened the door of Casey’s car, and in an unbelievable breach of Casey’s privacy, popped the trunk and gathered up as many boxes as his stupidly long arms could wrap around.
“Why can’t you send this stuff to April?”
“Cause you’ve got a car, and she’s busy.”
Casey was about to argue that Vern also has a car, that Casey is also a busy person, and that that was not the point, the point was that Casey was not their personal goddamn delivery boy, when he rounded the corner behind Donnie and saw what they had done to the lair.
Ropes of garlands hung from every possible surface. Christmas lights wrapped around pillars. Mikey was standing on tiptoe on a ladder, placing more tinsel on a huge pine tree already dripping with the stuff. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas pumped from a speaker somewhere.
“What...what?”
“Casey brought the new ornaments!” Donnie announced cheerfully.
Before Casey could protest, something was shoved down over his eyes. He flailed as Raph laughed, and shoved the Santa hat up until he could see again. He glared at the turtle, who grinned unrepentantly.
“Christmas dress code, dude. Get in the spirit.”
“Hi Casey!” April stepped out of the kitchen, wearing her own Santa hat and a flour-smudged Christmas tree apron. She pecked Casey on the cheek. “Leo and I are just about to put the cookies in the oven.”
Mikey whooped.
“Did you know about this?” he asked. She gave him her usual you-adorable-idiot look.
“Did I know about them celebrating Christmas?”
“I mean Donnie using me to deliver his, his whatever it is.”
“You’ve got a car,” she explained, dashing any hope that his girlfriend might take his side in the matter. He wasn’t sure why he was surprised. As if she would ever side against her precious green monsters.
“That’s not the point--” he tried as she headed back into the kitchen.
“Hello Casey.”
Casey nearly jumped out of his skin. Splinter smiled pleasantly, as if he still wasn’t deliberately sneaking up on Casey every time he came down here just to fuck with him just because he could.
“Eggnog?”
Casey wearily took the offered mug, then did a double take when he saw Splinter’s sweater. First of all: giant rat in a sweater. Second of all: the christmas tree was pizza and the snowflakes were little turtle shells. Catching Casey’s gaze, Splinter’s smile grew.
“Raphael made it for me. He’s very talented.”
“Mmhmm,” Casey murmured vaguely, taking a sip of eggnog instead of answering. When had this become his life? How had this happened to him? He was a good-ish person. He didn’t deserve this, probably.
“Michelangelo, be careful on that ladder!” Splinter called as Mikey stretched to hang yet more tinsel on the far side of the tree. “We don’t want a repeat of last year.”
“We were picking pine needles out of his shell for months,” Raph said with a grin. Mikey glared at him.
“Dude, not in front of the new guy.”
“How did you even get a tree down here?”
“We stole it,” Donnie said, because of course.
“Stole it.”
“Yeah. We went to one of those lots you can buy trees from. After they closed up for the day, I turned off the security cameras and we put the tree in the back of the truck.”
“You realize you just confessed committing a crime to a police officer, right?”
“What’re you gonna do, arrest us?” Raph asked.
“April, Casey’s going to arrest us for taking a Christmas tree!” Mikey called.
“I’m not arresting you!”
“He’s killing Christmas!”
April stuck her head around the corner, “Casey don’t be a grinch”, and was gone again.
Before Casey could protest, Donnie took the cup of eggnog from him and replaced it with a box of gold and red ornaments.
Casey gave up.
He was almost enjoying himself, until Mikey decided to start singing along to “Jingle Bell Rock”. Fortunately in that at least, he wasn’t alone.
“Just be glad we took “All I Want for Christmas” off the playlist,” Donnie muttered.
“Why?”
Donnie cast a meaningful look towards the kitchen. Casey grimaced.
“I had plans tonight, you know,” he told April as the boys argued over ornament placement. Leonardo felt very strongly that all the colors should be evenly spread out, which meant Raph thought they should go wherever he damn well felt they should go. Donatello was insisting on an even spread of plain ornaments to decorative ones, while Mikey complained that Donnie was “sciencing the joy out of Christmas”.
“No you didn’t.”
“I could have.”
She put a cookie in his mouth.
“You should be happy,” she said. He bit down on the cookie (which was actually pretty good, for being made in the sewer).
“That I’m a delivery boy?”
She rolled her eyes in exasperation.
“Casey, you’re part of the Christmas celebration.”
Casey shrugged, still not understanding.
“You’re family.”
He looked down at the cookie.
“Oh.” Something unfolded in his chest. Tacky and cliche as it was, he was pretty sure it was the warm and fuzzy feeling of belonging.
“Hey Casey, I just sent four boxes of Christmas lights to your apartment. Can you bring those tomorrow? Thanks.”
Aaaaand gone.
