#yes I hc Raph and Mona would have 5 kids lol

[fabuloustrash05]

A TMNT 2012 headcanon I have is that Raphael always needs reassurance that he’s loved because how Splinter parented him made him believe he favored/loved Leo more than him. His insecurity of not being worthy of being loved has really affected his self-esteem/self worth.

So through his relationship with Mona Lisa there be random moments where he’d ask her if she still loves him (just to double check) and Mona (being so madly in love and devoted to him) will happily give him a full on Shakespearian sonnet declaring her love for him.

But there’s also other times where he’ll ask her at the most random moments and Mona has to remind him with the obvious:

Raph: You love me, right?

Mona Lisa: We’re on a date, so yes.

~~~

Raph: Do you still love me?

Mona Lisa, at the altar: If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be marrying you right now.

~~~

Raph: Are you sure that you still love me?

Mona Lisa: We have 5 children together, what do you think?
