I saw the tai lung thing and it got me thinking- what about a reader princess who’s like the peacock from the second kung fu panda movie- who got obsessed with creating weapons and used her high rank to do genocidal raids and when the knowledge comes to liu kang and his fighters they’re sent to stop her- which they do and liu kang ends up keeping her locked away in a chamber deep in the fire temple alone- but he soon figures out she’s just been blinded by rage and trauma- ((sorta fluff plus soft sex maybe if you want tot make it smut- or you could just do fluff and comfort))
you can be better
a/n: boom, you have leucism like lord shen in the movie.
pairing: liu kang x afab!reader
warnings: nsfw (MDNI), pussy eating, creampies, mating press, slightest bit of overstimulation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liu Kang watches as you hiss and spit out insults at his champions as they bring you in cuffs in front of Liu Kang
you look disheveled, angry, and you lunge at Liu Kang, only stopped by the heavy chains and his champions pulling back on them to keep you away from him
his champions look disheveled, and Johnny Cage looks heavily injured, suit soaking with his blood
Liu Kang dismisses his champions and takes your chains for himself and drags you to the dungeons of the Fire Temple all while you spit and hiss insults at him
he attaches the chains to the bolts in the cell and locks the door behind him, staring down at you as you start to struggle, chest heaving as if you realize the consequences of your actions
he tells you to think on your actions, to think on how many you have killed, before he walks away, listening to you scream and yell about how you regret nothing
he visits you weekly to check on your progress, and at first you only scream insults at him, demanding to be let out, and threatening to kill him
and then you ignore him and his questions, sitting silently in the corner of the cell and glaring at him as you eat your rice and vegetables
but he keeps visiting you and soon enough you sit by the bars of the cell and give him one word answers to his questions as you eat
finally, after a few months of persisting, you give him more than one word and instead small sentences about what you’ve been thinking about
he visits you more frequently after that, the only company in the lonely Fire Temple other than the monks and Geras
and as much as he appreciated them, you were something new, something fresh, no matter how silent or violent you got
one day, he reaches a hand through the bars of the cell to tuck your hair behind your ear, and you flinch back so hard that the rice bowl in front of you clatters onto its side
your chest heaves and a cold sweat breaks on your face as you scramble away from his touch
you go silent for a week after that, refusing to answer his questions, until you finally come back to the bars of the cell and talk to him quietly
he doesn’t press for any answers, just makes sure to tell you if he’s going to touch you and you let him, body stiffening at the touch but no other reaction
and finally, as he heats a teapot in his hands, you whisper in a quiet voice that you regret your actions, that you had acted out of rage and revenge and that it wasn’t right
he quirks an eyebrow but stays silent as he lets you speak
you explain that the city you had leveled, had destroyed in your warpath, was where you grew up, that you were born and raised there
but you were treated unkindly, that they touched you and grabbed any part of your body because you looked different
because you were pale, with white hair and red eyes, and they would make you sit in the sun and let you burn and cry and then beat you for looking different
it was painful, and you grew up resenting the city and had left the second you were old enough and made a name for yourself as a general
you hadn’t thought of your childhood home until a group showed up to the capital to look for help and had found you and immediately started to push you around again
and that, in your rage, you had decided to destroy the city, to get rid of your past for good
you cast your gaze down and pick at the empty bowl, and Liu Kang hums and tells you that he’s going to let you out of the cell and chains, that he wants to walks with you
you sit still as he enters the cell and unlocks your chains, hands warm and gentle as he unlocks the cuffs with a click
but you don’t run, you follow Liu Kang around the compound until he reaches his bedroom and leads you inside
he tells you to take your time in cleaning yourself up and to find him in his study when you’re done, and he leaves the bedroom and attends to his duties, making sure to ask one of the monks to find you clothes
he sits in his office, sipping on his tea, when you enter, hair freshly combed and dressed in a much softer attire than what you were wearing before
you sit down and drink tea with him in silence, and he can’t help but admire how you act, how you still reek of elegance and perfection after being in a cell for months
the two of you have idle chatter, and he tells you that you can study at the Fire Temple, to be alongside him and his champions for Earthrealm
you agree to his proposition, and so you integrate into the life of the Fire Temple
but still, you cling to Liu Kang closely, and the two of you grow closer
you’re never seen without him, and Liu Kang enjoys your company, your battle mind as he considers how to defeat the invading realms and Shang Tsung usurping the peace
one day, as you stand in front of the map, the light through the window framing your head like a halo, Liu Kang slowly, very slowly, reaches his hand to tuck your hair behind your ear
you glance at him, cheeks reddening, as he cups your cheek, and he asks if he can kiss you
for a moment, you hesitate, and Liu Kang thinks he has thought wrong in thinking that you liked him as well
but then you agree, and Liu Kang smiles and leans in close, placing a soft kiss on your lips and cupping the back of your neck gently
you melt into the kiss, bringing both of your hands up to hold into the shirt, and Liu Kang deepens the kiss, pressing his tongue into your mouth
Liu Kang groans into your mouth at the taste of you, and you whine in tandem before pulling away and resting your head in his shoulder
he asks you if he can take you to the bedroom, and you mumble out a quiet yes
Liu Kang smiles and hooks your arm through his as he walks to his bedroom, and the second the door closes behind him, he’s back on your lips
he walks you backward until the back of your knees hit the bed, and you fall back onto the bed
he leans down and kisses you again, not getting enough of your taste, and you tangle your hands in his hair as your whine into his mouth
Liu Kang grinds his hips into yours, moaning at the friction on his cock, and you whimper into his mouth and clutch onto his shoulders
he trails a kiss down your jawline, reaching your neck and sucking deep dark hickeys into your skin, and his fingers dip between your legs and rubs at your clit through your pants
you pant at the feeling and grind your hips into the feeling, needing to feel more, and he smiles against your skin as you whine into the air
Liu Kang pulls away and strips off his clothing, and you get the idea and strip off your clothing as well until you’re both bare
he settles himself between your legs and moves back up to kiss your chest, covering it in hickeys
he trails open-mouthed kisses down your body, squeezing at the pudge of your stomach and listening to you whine, before lifting your legs onto his shoulders
he drools at the sight of your cunt, wet and needy for him, and he brings one of his hands up to spread your folds for him
you clench around nothing, and he groans at the sight before diving in, nose grinding firmly into your clit as he laps at your cunt
your hands fly down to grip onto his hair, and your back arches off the bed as your legs clamp around him
nothing could beat this feeling, how your plush and muscled legs wrap squeeze around his head while your wetness spills into his mouth, he’s truly in heaven
Liu Kang laps into your pussy desperately, needing to taste you more and more, and his nose just grinds so perfectly into your puffy clit
you whine and barely have time to warn him as your pussy clenches down on his tongue, and you cum into his mouth
Liu Kang whines at the taste, eagerly fucking his tongue into you to get every bit of your taste, and you whimper at the feeling
you beg, asking him for his cock, please, and he obliges, eager to please you
he crawls his way back, your legs still on his shoulders, and he pushes you into a mating press, your legs burning slightly at the feeling
he kisses you, and you whine at the taste of you on his tongue
Liu Kang grinds his cock into your soaked folds, the tip catching on your clit and making you needy and squirm in Liu Kang’s hold
he chuckles at you and lines up with you before sinking in slowly
he closes his eyes and rests his forehead against yours as your cunt squeezes around, and you’re just so warm and tight around him, so perfect just for him
he thrusts his hips in and out of you slowly, and his thick cock bumps deliciously into your sweet spot
you squeeze your eyes shut and whine in pleasure at the feeling, and Liu Kang finds that he misses the sight of your eyes
he tells you to look at him, to watch him, and you open your glossy eyes to stare into his own
his hips snap into your with every long thrust, but you keep your eyes on him, face flushing dark and red as you whimper at the eye contact
but you’re so beautiful, so gorgeous, and he tells you so, that he will worship you on his knees, that you’re so pretty on his cock like this, that you’re taking him so well
the praise makes your eyes well up in tears, and you pant out that you’re close, you’re so close
Liu Kang hums, that he knows, and he sets a faster pace as he continues to shower you in place
his pelvis bumps into your clit with every thrust, and it makes sparks fly in your vision as your pussy clenches down on him and you cum
a loud keen leaves your throat as you do so, and liu Kang groans at the sound and buries himself deep as he spills his seed inside of you
he gives you slow shallow thrusts as you both ride out your high, and he leans his head down, eyes fluttering shut as he kisses you
even as his cock softens inside of you and his cum leaks out of your puffy cunt, you two continue to kiss, blind and deaf to the world around you
but finally, you pull away to catch your breath, and you’ve never looked so beautiful, so gorgeous all flushed and fucked-out
Liu Kang needs more time to recover to love and fuck you properly, and so he makes his way down to your pussy, thick arms wrapping around your thighs and licking a fat strip up your cunt
you whine and tell him that it’s too much, but he tells you to let him worship you as he dives back in
neither of you leave the bedroom for the rest of the day

I LOVE the baby post!
Could I request one for raph?
- Beans anon
(Hello! I'm new to your blog :D)
More babies 🥺 (rottmnt Raph x reader)
summary: two turtle babies suddenly appear at the lair, and they suspiciously look a lot like Raph
relationship: Rise!Raph x GN reader (established)
warnings: none I think, just fluff!
word count: 2.1k
A/N: welcome beans anon! enjoy your stay c: the more of these i write, i might just increase the amount of babies that appear lol hope you like this one! ^^
More ��Baby 🥺” versions: Leo | Raph (you're here) | Donnie | Mikey
(english is not my first language. constructive criticism and grammar corrections are very appreciated!)
— — —
You were spending the afternoon at the lair, as per usual. Currently sat on the floor in Raph’s room, you were definitely about to win at Jenga.
“Aw come on, that’s not fair!” he whined as you placed your piece at the top, which you had somehow removed from the side, so that the tower was clearly swinging back and forth, out of balance. Whatever he did now, he would lose.
“Don’t be such a baby~” you mocked him with pouty lips, pinching his cheek.
That was when you heard the cry of an actual baby. You two looked at each other for a second then turned your heads towards the door. Again, another cry.
“You heard that too, right?” you asked him, standing up.
“Yup” he said, as he also rose to his feet.
“This is not over though” you said, pointing towards the fragile wooden tower on the floor. “You’re going down, big guy.”
“We’ll see about that” he smirked and you both left the room, following the noise which seemed to come from the kitchen. As you approached the door, you gave each other a quizzical look. How did a baby get down here anyways? Entering the room you both immediately noticed the giant flaming ring over the kitchen table. It was emanating little yellow zaps, and in front of it, something you couldn’t quite identify, which was producing the cries.
You approached the table to take a better look at it, and the zapping suddenly collapsed in on itself and disappeared with a ‘whoosh’. The bundle on the table perked up at that, and that’s when you realised it was not one baby but two. The bigger one had leaned over the other protectively.
“Hey you two, where did you come from?” you asked in a calming voice, approaching them. Behind you, Raph let out an ‘Aww’. As they finally turned over, you realised it was turtle babies, just like what you imagine Raph and his brothers had looked like when they were little. So clearly these were mutated creatures of sorts.
Turning around at your voice, the babies immediately stretched out their little arms towards you and sniffled. The bigger one crawled on the table towards Raph, while the little one went towards you. You both picked them up in your arms.
“Where do you think they came from?” Raph asked as the turtle tot pulled on his bandana and squealed in glee.
“Not sure, but they don’t seem to be scared of us? Not even you, no offence…” you replied sheepishly. The little turtle in your arms looked at you with big eyes and smiled. She had a similar shade of green as Raph. You noticed that both of the babies seemed to have little nubs and spikes on their shells, just like Raph. Maybe they’re snapping turtles, too?
“Hey guys, did you also hear-” Mikey entered the kitchen but stopped his own sentence as he saw the two of you holding baby turtles in your arms.
“Yeah, we heard” Raph replied and laughed.
“Wha- Who?! How did they get here?” Mikey asked, cooing at the baby in your arms, as it had reached out its arms towards him and grabbed onto Mikey’s finger.
“We know just as much as you do, Mikey. Let’s go ask Donnie” you stated and you all made your way to the lab.
Donnie was welding some tech of his when you entered. As you greeted him, he stopped and pushed up his mask. He took one hard look at the babies and sighed loudly, then pulled the mask down and continued his handiwork.
“Hey!” you protested. “Don’t ignore us! We need to figure out where they came from and how to get them back.”
Donnie stopped once again and laid down his welder. ‘Do we though?’ you heard him mumble under the mask, and you shot him a glare. Realising that he would not be able to finish his contraption today, he took off his equipment and walked around the table to you.
“Where did you find them?” he asked, and looked at the baby in your arms. She squealed happily at the sight and made grabby hands at Donnie, to which he leaned back slightly.
“In the kitchen” you replied, and told him about the yellow lights and how the babies had seemingly just appeared out of nowhere.
Donnie scratched his chin and hummed, already making his way to a drawer. He rummaged for a moment, and took out some sort of device with an antenna and a screen.
“Aha!” he exclaimed. “Let’s go see what traces we find. Sounds to me as if the turtle tots came through a portal.”
He walked past you to go to the kitchen. You were about to follow him when you felt a tap on your shoulder. Turning around, you were met with a very nervous looking Raph and the baby soundly sleeping in his arms, cuddled into his chest without a worry in the world.
You had to physically refrain yourself from squealing at the sight; it was too cute.
“What do I do?” Raph whispered, and you just smiled, gesturing to him to follow you. So he did. Both of you went to the living room and sat on the couch. The bigger one in Raph’s arms, which you assumed to be the big brother, was still sleeping soundly. Meanwhile you placed the little sister in your lap, and she looked around curiously. Almost falling over as she looked up at you, she giggled and stretched out her arms again.
“Mama/papa!” she squealed, and your heart stopped beating for a second. You shot Raph a glance, who looked just as shocked and confused as you.
“I don’t think that’s, uhm, possible, little one” you tried to explain to the baby, to no avail. She kept repeating it. Maybe you just looked similar to their parent? They were clearly not human though… The baby then looked up at Raph.
“Papa!” she said, pointing at him.
“Huh-” was all he could say.
Taking another look at the babies, you were suddenly aware how they both had your eye colour, and clearly they had a shell and green tone just like Raph. Maybe… Maybe it was possible? The mere thought of having kids with the turtle of your dreams was enough to have your head explode, your cheeks burning up.
Raph must have been thinking something similar, because he looked at you just as flustered. He avoided your gaze and scratched the back of his neck.
“You know” he broke the silence. “If what Donnie said about the portal is true, and well, uhm. Maybe somewhere else we…"
Still holding the sleeping turtle firmly but gently with one arm, his other one snaked forwards and took your hand in his. The little turtle in your lap squealed in delight and placed her little hands on top of yours. All the while he didn’t break eye contact with you, giving you the most lovestruck look you had seen on him yet. That alone sent you spiralling and your brain went completely blank. Except that it started filling up with images of you and him, the turtle babies, maybe a house somewhere nice. Just a domestic life with your favourite turtle. And apparently your offspring. They’d get their own little bandanas. It would be adorable.
“Okay so, I’ve got the results” Donnies voice approaching both of you brought you back to reality, and you shook your head to rid your mind of these thoughts that were threatening to have you melt into a puddle on the couch.
“So, what is it, Don?” Raph inquired, still not letting go of your hand.
“Well, I found some residue and ran it through my handy-dandy device here” he shook the apparatus in his hand. “And as it turns out, it was indeed a portal, and from the future no less.” He said that last part incredulously, almost scoffing at himself for saying something impossible like that. But the results were clear. Donnie looked up to see you both flustered, and looking like you’d burst out into tears at any given moment, so he didn’t even bother to ask what was going on, instead continuing his explanation.
“And yes, of course I did figure out a way to send them back, thank you so much for asking. It might take a while though, after all I’ll literally be inventing time and space travel.” Running his hand over his face, he turned around and headed back to his lab. “Keep an eye on them in the meantime, will you.”
Giving Raph a reassuring nod, you picked up the little turtle in your arms again. She was starting to doze off as well, and the tiny hands clung onto your shirt. The sight was almost too much to bear. Deep inside you had wished you could spend some more time with the turtle tots, so you were secretly happy that Donnie didn’t have the solution at hand quite yet.
The rest of the day was spent with everyone taking turns to entertain and feed the babies, your jenga game long forgotten.
When it was time to go to sleep, you and Raph lied in his bed facing each other. Your back was almost flat against the wall, as it was even more crammed as usual, with both turtles between the two of you, as they held each other's hands. Raph’s arm was wrapped over them protectively but gently so as not to squish them, and his hand was at your waist.
The four of you were snoozing peacefully, until in the middle of the night the familiar crackling sounds started again. Right next to Raph’s bed appeared a yellow portal. Luckily neither you nor the babies seemed to have heard it, but the red turtle’s ninja senses sounded the alarm and his eyes shot open.
Being careful not to wake you, he removed his arm and turned around, sitting at the edge of the bed.
“Who’s there?” he asked in the direction of the portal.
Through the flimmering yellow lights came none other than an older version of Mikey, with a sheepish expression on his face.
“I swear I only let them out of sight for 2 seconds and they had vanished” he apologised. “Took me a while to figure out where they were. They’re still here, right?”
Mikey leaned over Raph’s shoulder, seeing you and the babies happily asleep. He let out a little ‘aww!’ and tilted his head as he took in the scene.
“So you were babysitting and lost them? That’s not a good look, brother” Raph joked, moving to the side for Mikey to carefully pick up the turtles. You stirred as he freed the little sister from your grip, and you pouted in your sleep.
“Shouldn’t we wake Y/n up? I’m sure they’d like to say goodbye at least” Raph commented, knowing you’d be sad in the morning if they just left like that.
“It’s better that I interact with the least possible people here. At least that’s what Donnie is always saying” Mikey explained, giving Raph an apologetic look. Balancing one baby in each arm, he straightened up.
Mikey was about to turn around and say his goodbyes but Raph stopped him, looking back at you to make sure you were asleep, and then turning to Mikey again with a shy blush on his cheeks, unable to meet his eyes.
“So, uhm…” He held his hands in front of his chest, with the tips of his index fingers touching. “About the parents…”
“I think you already know” Mikey chuckled and took a step towards the portal. “I can just tell you this: it’s sooner than you expect” was the last thing he added over his shoulder with a wink, and then hopped through the portal.
The yellow lights swirled around and zapped once, twice, then disappeared, and the room was silent again, except for your even breathing.
Raph just stood there for a moment, trying to not only process Mikey’s last words but also come up with a good explanation to give you tomorrow of why the turtles were gone. He looked at you, took a deep breath and sighed. That would be a problem for tomorrow. For now, he was just glad to know you’d still be together in the future.
Climbing back into bed, he tucked you closer to him and kissed your cheek, whispering good night. Soon enough he was being pulled back into sleep, dreaming of the life you two would share, finding happiness in each other.

ok hear me out. girl dad steve but the little girl is just so wednesday coded. i cri
the crossover we didn’t know we needed.
Margot had grown into four year old who was incredibly in tune with the world around her. She was smart, creative and amazing at communicating with the people in her life.
She loved the outdoors and her nightlight that shone stars on the walls of her room, she loved her stuffed bat from uncle Eddie and she liked it when Steve played his old records, the snap and crackle of them.
She didn’t have to always be happy about it all though.
Steve’s daughter had taken after her mom in that sense, her little features more often than not, looking a little sullen. But her chubby cheeks and wide eyes made her look more comical than scary, not quite at your level of chilling.
Not yet.
And on this rare Saturday where you’d had to get called into work - an emergency - your boss had said, Steve said goodbye to you at the front door, Margot by his legs, arms wrapped around his knees.
He’d kissed you goodbye, never getting over the feeling of you leaning into him, softening even though you’d spent the morning scowling as you packed your bag with files and lunch - and a tiny mason jar that seemed to be filled with some dirt and what looked like a bone, but Steve didn’t ask.
Margot had granted you a kiss goodbye too, lips pouting ‘cause she hated when you left but Steve ushered her back inside with the promise of a day of fun. At her choosing, of course.
“Alright, sweetheart,” Steve told her, “what d’you wanna do today, huh? We could bake some cookies or visit uncle Eddie? Or, or we could see what uncle Dustin is doing, maybe he’d meet us at the park. What d’you say?”
Steve looked down at the toddler, smiling at the sight of her still wrapped around his legs, chin resting on his thigh as she peered up at him. She was contemplating his options with a somewhat serious frown, a tiny stitch between her brows. Her hair was a still a mess from bed, the curls that formed around her neck and ears staring to look more and more like his every day.
“Can we go t’woods?”
“The woods?” Steve repeated, shuffling forward until Margot got the hint and stood on his feet. “What do you wanna go there for?”
Steve walked as Margot clung, only lifting her when they got to the stairs and the tot squeaked when her dad wrangled her over his shoulder. She clung to his hair as he jogged up to her room, setting her on her bed as he dug for suitable clothes. And a hairbrush, ‘cause you’d have stern words for him if you came home to your baby with tangled curls again.
“Bugs,” Margot said plainly, still staring up at her dad, unblinking.
Steve sighed. “Bugs? What do you want bugs for?”
“They’re cool,” Margot told him, sounding far too exasperated for a four year old as Steve offered a pink and red striped sweater for her to wear. “I don’t like that sweater.”
“But aunt Robin bought it for you,” Steve tried to bargain.
She merely scrunched her nose in distaste, an action that immediately made her look like a carbon copy of you and Steve would’ve sighed if it didn’t make his heart ache.
He was soft. Too soft, Eddie told him, especially so considering he had two girls that were partly made from ice.
“Okay, you pick.”
It surprised no one when the girl pointed to the black pinafore that hung too high for Margot to reach, but as Steve brought it off the hanger, she scampered to find a shirt to wear underneath it.
“But, bugs?” Margot reminded him, throwing a dark, dark green jumper on the floor by his feet. “I need mo’ bugs.”
It was a wrestle to get Margot dressed, the kid not really wanting to stay still as she tried to reach for the tiny net that hung behind her door, mumbling about her ‘bug boots’ at the same time.
“Baby, what do you need bugs for?” Steve tried not to sound too impatient, but he recalled a time when you once led him into the woods. He came away with pockets full of tiny bones and no explanation, and to this day, he’d open drawers in the house to find a little femur or two. “What’re you doing with the bugs?”
“S’a secret,” Margot told him solemnly and there she went again, staring up at him with an unnerving stillness.
“Margot, baby, you gotta blink more,” Steve muttered, barely paying attention as he tried to grab her tiny hand through her sleeve, pulling it through properly. “And you don’t get to keep secrets from your dad.”
The girl fluttered her lashes and Steve hummed his praise before dropping a kiss to her head and searching for the brush.
And when Steve returned to tame her bed head into two pigtails, his daughter just shrugged and mumbled, “I jus’ like bugs.”

rui’s side stories… my poor heart </3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rui being shocked when Tsukasa tells him he’s missing the point and that they’re saying they care about Rui *cue incoherent sobbing (ToT)*
Rui has finally found a place he belongs, with people that care about him, when all his life he has been on the outside of everything, and it KILLS me inside to know that the next event story is the start of the “disband” angst :’)
ramble incoming lol
——
Rui has always been alone. people have outcasted him for his seemingly impossible ideas, and it’s highly likely he’s always just tested out inventions on his own. :(
and even when finding people who were willing to go through with Rui’s more dangerous plans, (wxs, cheer festival team) Rui has always been making sure that others are well and safe
even though he’s been rejected and left to himself, he’s never really thought of himself. all there was to think about was the overwhelming feeling of being alone, not really his well-being (like look at his room + middle school self). and at some point before the main story, he’s just given up on forming connections with people. he joins wxs for NENE’S sake, not his
and in the side story, he’s uncomfortable with “being waited on” because as someone deemed a weirdo, having people actually caring about him was a foreign idea. (ToT)
but when rui tries to brush wxs’ concern off as them overreacting, distancing himself from what he’s unfamiliar with, they still insist. because they genuinely, truly CARE.
and this side story just has such an impact on me because you can see how it really reminds rui that yeah, he’s found a home. that wxs really does care about him and it’s not some misplaced affection or done for sake of being polite. they’re being extra and making him ride the dolly (prop transport thing) because Rui really MATTERS to them
and there’s even more than just wxs lol. akito gets him ice for his sprained foot akdjskjd
it just makes me so happy to see the ourple man get some needed love and realize he can care for himself too without worrying about losing anyone ヽ(;▽;)
(we ignore the fact that this perfectly sets up the bittersweet thoughts in the disband arc :’) )
[the side stories I mention in this post are from the card “Words of Encouragement”]

List of ROTTMNT headcanons/rando ideas I will maybe draw!
Disaster Twins edition!
Okay, so I personally think they could be actual twins and canon could explain it as a mutation effect do it you cowards-
Donnie and Leo share a brain cell, Donnie just hoards it 99% of the time. But that 1% of the time Leo has it is beautiful (chaotic).
They absolutely could finish each other’s sentences, and sometime do without realizing it.
As tots they could practically read each others mind, and while they can’t as much anymore if one is asking for something but can’t remember what it’s called the other will know what the other needs.
If they tried hard enough. They could use twin telepathy. They stopped doing it after Leo used it to rickroll Donnie for three hours straight.
If they were to switch weapons they would be able to use the others weapon easily, its a twin thing.
They always dress identically without trying too. Sometimes they shrug it off and go with it. Other times they’re like “well one of us has to change.”
Leo is the only person that has the honor, nay the privilege, to touch Donnie’s softshell without having to ask. He also has the privilege to rest on it during turtle piles.
They can sing any Brittney spears song from memory flawlessly.
Leo most definitely came across a softshell turtle cooking video, watched it in absolute horror, and proceeded to latch onto Donnie for the rest of the week. (Totally not something I did-)
As the taller twin Leo has claimed the older twin role. In reality they hatched at the exact same time.
Donnie only denies being Leo’s twin as a front, people can’t know he has… feelings (dramatic gasp). Leo knows this and likes the “arguments” over whether their twins or not just so he can saw random not facts to make Donnie mad.
In the apocalyptic future of the ROTTMNT movie, Leo felt when Donnie died. It was like a part of him was suddenly missing. He was likely in battle when it happened, and that feeling made him collapse and break down in the middle of the fight. Needless to say he was not surprised when April gave him the news, just saying “I already knew… its a twin thing. Was a twin thing…”
Alternatively, when Leo sacrificed himself and was trapped in the prison dimension Donnie felt a similar feeling. While it wasn’t as bad as it would’ve been had Leo died, it still left Donnie feeling hollow inside.
And since I can’t end this on angst-
As Turtle Tots, Leo found out about conjoined twins and wanted in. It took a bit of convincing, but after claiming it would be a fun experiment, talked Donnie into make a machine to fuse them together. They were conjoined at the hip for a month because someone (*cough* Mikey *cough*) ‘accidentally’ used the machine as a chew toy. Donnie still has that machine, for research. Obviously.
Pt 2: Here

omg i just read heat wave and think it’s amazing! would i be able to request a part two where she like takes him back to the bus and like puts him to bed and maybe takes care of the others too?
This request was too wholesome not to write. SO consider this a part two to this one.
Warnings: none!
———
Part Of The Band
She tiptoed delicately out of the tour bus, grabbing her shoes with her on the way out. She knew she was much too clumsy a person to risk putting them on and waking Matty up from his much-needed sleep.
She took one last worried glance back in his direction and blew him a kiss that he wasn’t awake to notice, whispering “I love you.” As she inched away. She say on the steps of the bus, kicking her shoes on.
She followed the directions her map app had provided to get back the restaurant where she and Matty had left the boys about an hour ago. George had spotted her coming in and waved her over.
“You’re back. Everything alright?” He sat up as she approached their table.
“Is it Matty? Is he okay?” Adam added.
“Oh, yeah, yeah. Matty fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Everything’s fine. I just came back to check on you guys.”
“Us?” Ross’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Yeah. Have you boys had anything to eat yet?”
“Nah, much too hot to stomach anything right now.” Adam groaned.
“But we did drink a lot of water.” Ross announced, taking yet another gulp from his bottle.
“Yeah, in fact, we were just saying that, when it’s time to piss, we should time each other. See whose body lets out the most water.” George laughed, a bit embarrassed that she didn’t find the idea as funny as he did.
“Alright, you guys are hopeless.” She wandered over tot the cash register and came back with menus. “Every one pick something. Even if it’s just a little snack. You need to eat.”
She placed their orders to-go, modifying their selections and adding a few juices and smoothies to take into the tour bus. Something to keep on hand, in their mini-fridge for the road-trip ahead.
“Let’s get back. Matty’ll probably wake up hungry soon.”
She rounded them up, feeling a little too much like a school teacher chaperoning a field trip. George helped carry the takeout bags, while Adam volunteered to hold the beverages.
“So, how’re you guys feeling?” She broke the tired silence as they strolled back to the bus. “I know I was acting a bit insane before. Was just worried about Matty, but- you guys went through the same thing. Everyone feeling alright?”
George smiled at her. “No worries. Matty did look like he was losing it a bit there. We were all worried.”
“But you guys stayed calm. I mean, maybe a little too calm. Made me think you didn’t think anything was wrong.”
Ross shook his head. “Of course we knew something was wrong. We all felt wrong. But…it’s just who we are.”
“Been doing this gig for over a decade.” Adam chined in.
“Yeah, you sort of, get used to a ‘just push through it’ kind of mentality.”
“Yeah, guess we didn’t realize we’re not as young anymore.” George laughed.
She was quiet for a moment, giving them the space to vent and doing her best to listen with compassion. Still a part of her felt that they weren’t being as serious with this as they should be.
“It’s not about how young or old your are. You’re in the best shape of your lives. All of you. But your schedule is objectively insane.”
They all laughed knowingly.
“Three countries in three days?”
“They’re all close to each other though-“ George attempted to interject but she simply rolled her eyes at him.
“You’re a dad, now. Adam. This is the kind of example that you want to set for your kid? What were you planning on telling Carly, hmm?”
Adam always found her a bit intimidating. He looked down at his feet, feeling slightly shamed.
“Leave the man alone, he’s already scared of you.” George came to his rescue.
“Look,” Ross spoke, shifting her attention towards him. “I think…when we made this schedule, we also wanted to keep in mind the canceled shows that didn’t get to take place in 2019 and 2020. And the fact that, for come countries, it’s been a decade since we’ve performed there. And we do love being’ onstage.”
Adam and George agreed incoherently, their voices blending together into some sort of affirmative statement.
***
“Which ones Matty’s sandwich?” George sat in Matty’s bunk, peeling the covers off his friend and putting the warm sandwich right in Matty’s sleeping arms.
The three of them giggled mischievously like school children. “Let’s see how long it takes him to smell it and wake up.”
They ended up placing bets on how long it would take. And it did take him surprisingly long. 7 minutes and 54 seconds to be exact. Adam won, having guessed the closest.
“Fasts cash I’ve ever made.” He grinned as he collected his winnings.
Matty struggled to fight his exhaustion as he munched on his sandwich sluggishly. He watched with pure awe and admiration and she made her rounds, checking in with the boys, refilling their drinks, making sure they were all hydrated, all the while returning their jokes and witty remarks. He’d never met anyone who has so seamlessly been made part of their friend group before. Their intensity and history always seemed threatening to any newcomers. Even when they didn’t intend it to be. The sheer amount of time they spend together, their lingo, inside jokes, and work style could all mean that even the most confident of people would occasionally feel like an outsider. Not her though. She respected that this was an inherent part of Matty’s life that she could never hope to replace, nor did she try to compete against it. She loved the boys almost as much as he did.
Hours later, Ross had knocked out in his bunk bed, with George going outside for a smoke, and a FaceTime with Charli. Adam hopped into the shower for a much needed deep cleanse. Marty found himself alone with her, at long last. They shared his tiny bunk bed, cuddling and watching a tv show on her phone.
“Baby?” Matty whispered, even in the tight quarters they’d snuggled into.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for loving my friends.”
She turned to look at him, their noses brushing together slightly. “What?”
“You’re, like, officially part of the band now. You’ve saved us. Don’t know what we would have done without you today. I mean, seriously, I had a like a real meltdown.”
She smiled, caressing his cheek with the back of her hand gently. “You guys would’ve been already, with or without me. You’ll always have each other, after all.”
“Mhm.” He simply nodded.
“I think today was the first time I really got that. Don’t know how safe I would feel knowing that you’re thousands of miles away sometimes, traveling the world, if it weren’t for the guys and knowing that they’re right there with you.”
“Oh, yes, absolutely. Don’t think I’d ever do it without them. Just don’t tell them I said that, okay? Hann would never let me hear the end of it.” Matty grabbed onto her tightly, pulling the cover above both of their heads and kissing her underneath it.

Okay I’m sure someone else has made a similar post but I have thoughts I’m attempting to think about these resurrection beasts
The Houses
Tumblr media
As far as I can tell we only really know for sure that the First House is Earth and the Ninth House is Pluto. My proposed lineup for the houses is as above. Fucking up the numbering so that earth can be first is very human, and John would do it. And it makes sense since it is quite literally the first home of humanity. If we go with this lineup then there are few things I can read into…
Venus as The 3rd:
The third house have an association with beauty, like the goddess the planet is named for. The individuals from the third that we know are also kind of…horrible terrible people (affectionate). Venus, much like Ianthe’s personality, is inhospitable.
Mars as The 4nd:
“But wait,” you say, “shouldn’t the second house be Mars since they’re the ones associated with the cohort and all that?” MAYBE. The fourth also works for Mars though, they too are extremely associated with war, we learn from Isaac and Jeanmarrie that 4th kids go to war very young.
Pluto as The 9th:
Death god, skeleton nuns, we all know.
So that’s one interpretation, but honestly I think that
1) Venus is likely to be the 7th, since Cytherea was both a name for the goddess Venus and the name of everyone’s favorite identity stealing lyctor from the 7th house.
2) The 3rd might be Jupiter? King of the gods, and the third is always described in terms of royalty?
3) The 2nd could be Mars, as discussed above.
4) The 6th kind of needs to be Mercury. Mercury/Hermes as a god was associated with doctors and the element used to be used in thermometers.
So really that brings us back to this which is so upsetting but without further analysis that’s what I’ve got for sure.
Tumblr media
Resurrection Beasts
Similar to the true nature of the houses, we know very little for sure when it comes to the RBs. Alecto is Earth. Varun seems to be Neptune. That’s what we know. Which is why it’s particularly confusing that in Harrow the Ninth Augustine describes a different creature as being The First.
As described by the lyctors…
Number Two: “…spewed quicksilver and remade itself into hundred foot spikes.”
@dmmeeble pointed out that this was probably mercury since quicksilver is another name for the element mercury
Number Six: “…kept sucking us into enormous sphincters and spraying us with worms.”
I’ve got next to nothing for the sphincter worms beast tbh. My only idea is that this could be Jupiter because that sounds like some Zeus (Jupiter) punishment nonsense on the level of Prometheus and the liver pecking eagle.
Number Four: “…a humanoid creature with a beautiful face who held me under the water, and it spoke in a lovely voice but it only repeated, die, die…”
I imagine that this one has to be Venus since Mercy makes a point to say they were beautiful and Venus was a goddess of beauty. Also, water is mentioned and Venus was born from water and is therefore associated with it.
Number One: “…a great and incoherent machine…when I saw it I thought it had a great tail, and a thousand broken pillars on its back, but Cassiopeia saw it as a mechanical monster with swords for wings, and great horns of myelin, tessellated over with graves.”
This is the weirdest one. We already know Number One was Alecto, so this has to be something different. Right? RIGHT?! Cause the thing is I could see this one being earth. Mechanical monster because of all the mechanical detritus of the human species left after John’s apocalypse, the thousand broken columns also speaking to ancient ruins, swords for wings because of the legacy of violence left by the people of earth, the graves all the many graves dug in the surface of the earth over the years. This is a fairly human centric interpretation but having experienced Nona and Alecto, the soul of the earth is clearly very affected by humanity. In an entirely different direction, this could totally be Pluto. The graves, the swords (especially with our knowledge of the ninth), the lifelessness of the mechanical creature. Parts of the description is even reminiscent of some kind of automaton version of a harpy or a fury, with the wings and the general horrors of appearance. And while the furies are chthonic beings…this still brings us back to Alecto…
Number Eight: “…a giant head.” “Finned like a fish…it’s ribs were bloody bandages, and it’s teeth protruded through its own skull, tangled about its face like a nest. It was red, and it had a single eye of green that moved all about the body…”
There are multiple ways to go here. Red implies Mars of course. All of the images of injuries and bloody bandaging could also speak to Mars as war imagery, but the single eye implies Jupiter. Then of course there is the “finned like a fish” and the one eye implying a Cyclops and Cyclopes being associated with Neptune/Poseidon-but we’ve set aside Neptune for Varun. HOWEVER Cyclopes are also connected to Uranus as Uranus and Gaia had some cyclops children in Hesiod’s Theogony. Have I taken this too far yet?
Tumblr media
So as you can see, I’ve connected the dots??????

NEXT STOP, FONTAINE!
CHARACTERS
alright, y’all. it’s that time of year again. genshin dropped a surprise which features the cast that seem to be important to the fontaine archon quest. curious of who you’re gonna pull for!
order (left to right, who appeared first in the trailer): freminet, lyney, lynette, navia, wriothesley, siegwinne, neuvillete, clorinde, and furina aka focalors the hydro archon.
not featured: egeria aka the narrator who didn’t show up in the trailer, charlotte, and arlecchino. we already know the latter two!
i’m planning to pull for wriothesley, neuvillette, clorinde, furina, and arlecchino (please be playable i’m gonna flip). also planning to get lyney and lynette but will get lyney in his rerun and lynette whenever.
THEORIES & PREDICTIONS (contains leaks utc!)
themes: (in)justice, illusion, deceit - both lyney and arlecchino agree on the idea that everything’s not real and it’s all for show. arle’s the “director”, in charge of the “actors” placements with the use of a “script”. arle made a deal with furina, her targeted audience, to put on a “show” for her since the hydro archon loves drama in order to get her gnosis. even newspapers and photos can be illusions, and deceitful. they don’t contain the full picture of events. they say seeing is believing, but there are more than meets the eye.
lyney and lynette (and to an extent, freminet) will deceive us at some point during the story - the reps of each nation helped us out so far. lyney and lynette are magicians, who aim to create experiences for their audiences that seem impossible or inexplicable (e.g., sleight of hand and escape stunts). they say that a true magician never reveals their secrets, but everyone will find out eventually. magicians and keen observers have exposed other magicians before. we, the traveler and paimon, may act as keen observers and expose what lyney and lynette are hiding from us. i heard that those two and freminet are from the house of hearth, and work for arle, which does make sense when arlecchino said that they’re all actors.
gameplay: mix of ace attorney and tears of themis, but leaning toward tot - traveler and paimon always get in trouble with the law in the most inconvient way. the whole plot of the archon quest could be traveler and paimon accused of committing a serious crime, and the goal was to prove their innocence by acting as their own attorney. the aa part is acting as your own “lawyer” and the tot part is connecting and analyzing evidence, the same as sumeru act ii when nahida told us about the samsara.

i know i don’t have time to fully flesh it out rn but like - they are enamored by her that first night and they keep asking for things they don’t even need so she will keep coming back but they are too giggly and high to ask for her number so eventually she has to ask them to leave , at the point they are super worked up and can’t control themselves and when they get back to the hotel room they start fooling around but like they end up just sad she isn’t there because she was REALLY cute and REALLY sweet so they go back the next night and keep ordering stuff hoping she carhops to them because they want her bad
it’s jelly btw
-🪼🪼🪼🪼
please jelly i love ur mind sm
she brings them out their first order, and asks if they need any sauces or anything and oscar would ask for ranch just so she’d have to come back. as soon as she’s gone the second time, oscar’s immediately urging lando to roll his window back down and click the magic button that takes their order in the hopes she’ll come back out. when some guy brings out their second order they both just look at each other like /: where is our cute girl?? they just keep ordering more shit and everyone in the kitchen is pissed because two idiots keep placing orders and she’d probably be in there talking shit and the other carhops are teasing her, like “girl you know the only reason they keep hitting that button is to talk to you. do us all a favor and take ur 15 with them rn we are sick of this.”
her asking them to leave when she passes their car for the fourth time delivering other orders and they haven’t left, so she’s like “hi guys! is something wrong w the order? any of them?? you placed six.” and they’re munching on tater tots and grinning like idiots when they say it’s all perfect, so she’s like, “ok well, it’s like really busy right now… could you guys leave if you’re not ordering??” and lando’s like “actually i want a refill, please.” she stares at him like he’s stupid and says they don’t do refills, he’ll need to place another order and he just grins stupidly and says, “anything for you!” and then reaches behind her to press the button and orders another slushie.
oscar leaning over the center console to ask her what she orders and then ordering whatever she says. she’s used to guys flirting and asking what she orders, she just cites random things off the menu bc she never eats sonic, like she’s worked there all thru hs and college bc the tips are great and shes so sick of the food she never eats it. she gives oscar a fake order then days later ends up hanging out w them and she admits she hates their food bc shes worked there for so long
both of them daring the other to ask her out but neither of them can work up the courage to ask her when she gets off or for her number, and every time she walks away they’re breaking out into laughter and calling each other idiots.
them fooling around and both being unsatisfied bc its not her ?? im gonna be sickkk. they’d def tease each other, oscar catches onto lando first and is like, “are you seriously thinking ab her right now? ur not moaning my name, i can tell.” and then oscar would jerk him off while telling lando to think ab her, to imagine it’s her hands and her mouth on him and that finally pushes him over the edge. lando can’t even look her in the eye when she brings their order out the next day, he makes oscar drive, who is happy to do it bc lando’s driving makes him sick plus it means he gets to place the order and she’ll bring it to him instead of lando.

Stuck (disaster twins rottmnt)
Tumblr media
Hello!!! This is another turtle tot disaster twins fic!!! Enjoy! For some context I’d say they’re around 9-10 years old here.
Warnings: None, tickling
Summery: Donnie gets stuck. Leo comes to help. Chaos ensues.
Donnie was in a bit of a predicament. The young soft shell was working on something in his lab. Unfortunately, he ended up falling and getting tangled in wires. He was only suspended about an inch from the ground luckily, but the real problem was that he was stuck and couldn’t escape. What was a turtle to do?
He wanted to call for help. But who? Splinter had told them he was busy with something important and warned them that he was not to be bothered. Raph and Mikey had said earlier that they were gonna hang out in the arcade room Donnie had built for them, so there wasn’t much chance of hearing him from there. That left Leo.
Oh boy.
Leo was in his room reading his comics. Perfect shout hearing distance, as it was closer to his lab.
He sighed. He guessed he had no choice. Leo was never going to let him live this down. Finally, but begrudgingly, he accepted defeat.
“LEO! LEO I NEED SOME HELP HERE!” Donnie yelled in his high pitched yelling voice.
A moment later, Leo was in the doorway.
They looked at one another for what seemed like forever, and then Leo burst out laughing.
“Yeah, yeah!” Donnie spat out in annoyance, trying to fight the flush of embarrassment threatening to appear on his face. “Laugh it up!”
“Ohohomigohosh whahat hapehend???” Leo managed through his laughter, holding on to the door to steady himself with one hand and clutching at his plastron with the other.
“Well… I kinda fell… and now I’m stuck…” Donnie explained into a mumble, feeling slowly more and more embarrassed. This made Leo laugh harder.
“Hohold ohohon…” he said, trying to calm himself down, “I need a picture…”
“WHAT!? LEO!!!” Donnie protested angrily.
Leo had left before Donnie could say anything else, and soon, Leo had come back and begun snapping pictures with his phone (Donnie had recently made phones for them).
“I’m gonna cherish these…” Leo grinned when he finished.
“Leo!! Enough! Would you help me already!!!???” Donnie protested again, attempting and failing to escape on his own.
“Fine, fine…” Leo gave in, taking pity on his twin.
He began trying to pull Donnie down, but he was really tangled in. “Man you really got yourself stuck in here…” Leo grunted, trying to pull. He reached for a wire near Donnie’s underarm, Leo accidentally brushed against his armpit while trying to pull it away.
Even if he was still wearing his purple hoodie, Donnie didn’t expect the sudden electric shock jolt through the area of his hoodie, and he had no time to suppress his giggle.
Leo paused at the sound. He couldn’t remember the last time he had heard his usually more quieter and reserved brother laugh like that. He narrowed his eyes and a smirk creeped on his face.
“What was that Donnie?” He teased, poking a finger into the exposed armpit through his brothers purple hoodie. “Is someone ticklish?”
“L-leo! Don’t you dare!” Donnie threatened, now able to suppress the next giggle as he was able to anticipate the action. He struggled and squirmed in place, trying to escape.
“Oh yeah, tough guy? And what are you gonna do about it. Huh?” Leo cooed, wiggling his three small dum dum fingers in Donnie’s face.
Before Donnie could answer, Leo slipped his hand under his hoodie, and began scratching at the baby soft skin of his underarms (well, as soft as turtle skin could be anyway).
Donnie couldn’t laugh. Not now. Not in this position. Not with Leo witnessing it. Leo would absolutely not ever let him live this down now.
But alas, the young soft shell was too ticklish for his own good.
“GAHAHA LEHEHOHOHO!!!!” Donnie squealed through his laughter. It wasn’t really a laugh though. It was more like super loud and high pitched giggles.
“This is priceless.” Leo teased. “The stoic, smart, too grumpy to have fun Donatello, is a ticklish little baby.”
“SHUHUT UHUP EHEVEHRY OHOHONE IHIS!” Donnie argued.
Leo then decided to change it up and went for squeezing at his upper thigh. That’s when Donnie lost it, exploding into hysterical cackles. At this point he couldn’t form another coherent sentence.
“Bad spot?” Leo smirked. He appreciated how his twins face looked. For once, it seemed lively and happy. Tears had begun forming in his eyes. His laughter seemed to be the only sound filling most of the room.
Soon Leo realized he should probably stop. He didn’t want to accidentally kill his own brother.
Donnie fell limp in the tangle of wires. His breathing was heavy and fast, trying to catch his breath.
“You ok Donnie?” Leo asked nervously . He suddenly realized he might’ve gone a bit overboard.
Donnie nodded slowly, not speaking. Leo then tried again at untangling him, making sure to not accidentally tickle him again.
Soon he was finally free. He fell to the ground and collapsed. “Donnie!” Leo rushed to make sure he was ok. But when he saw that his purple branded twin had fallen asleep, his eyes softened and a fond smile grew on his face. He picked him up bridal style and took him to his bed. Then Leo climbed into the bed and laid next to him. The two of them soon fell asleep, taking a nice long afternoon nap.
Leo was sure Donnie would be upset with him when they woke up. But he didn’t care. Now he just wanted to snuggle peacefully with his twin.

Now, let’s get to the recs. Bon appétit!
Tumblr media
➤ ➤ ➤ PRE-SERIES
The Corner Store by KicsterAsh
12,790 words, 5/5 chapters
Character Focus: Raphael & his brothers, w/ Splinter coming in later
Genre: Fluff, Adventure
“I know what I’m spending my three dollars on,” Raph said. He and Donnie dragged Leo to the machine, which was near the front desk of the store, and sat him down against the wall. “Make sure he doesn’t fall asleep,” Raph said to his other siblings, before rushing to the front desk.
The man, who had been watching them since they dragged Leo into view, looked at the turtle as he ran over. Raph tried ignoring that he noticed this and only looked back once he had reached the counter, where his chin just reached over the top.
“Hello, Mister,” Raph said as politely as he could in his urgency. “How much is a small cup of hot chocolate?”
The man pushed up his glasses and looked at the machine. “It’s two dollars and seventy-five cents after tax,” he said.
“I dunno what tax is, but here.” Raph slapped three dollars down on the counter and then pointed at the machine. “Can you show me how to pour one, please? I’ve never done it before.”
I have such a soft spot for this fic; it was one of the first I ever read for the fandom, and it has the perfect blend of adorable turtle tot hijinks with just enough risk involved to make you concerned and keep the story gripping. To summarize the premise: Splinter lets the boys play topside in the snow while he scavenges for food and supplies, but is gone longer than anticipated. As the hours pass and the temperature drops, a young Raphael decides to break the rules and seek out human shelter to keep his brothers from freezing. All of the turtles’ budding personalities shine through in this story, but good older brother Raph is especially a treat here.
Lost and Found (Family) by ashtreelane
7,007 words, 2/2 chapters
Character Focus: April & Michelangelo, April & The Family
Genre: Fluff, Adventure
"Wow!" April says, her eyes wide with fascination. "Are you some sort of…turtle alien?"
"Yeah! Well- not the alien part, but I am a turtle!“
"So how can you talk?" April asks, leaning in to peek into Mikey's head hole. Her voice echoes slightly in the shell.
"Cause I'm not allllll turtle, duh!" Mikey says, smiling. "Our dad doesn't really like to talk about it, but he says that we’re the product of parental love and ‘unholy sorcery’!
"Oh wow! That’s way more interesting than how I got born!"
After being left behind on a field trip and struggling to find a way home, a young April finds someone just as lost as herself. A charming little story that tells how April met the turtles for the first time.

Character Focus: Splinter & his kids
Genre: Character Study, Family Drama
Hamato Yoshi never wanted kids.
In fact, he found the very idea sickening. The thought of having to care for another life shook him to the core, reminded him of responsibility and clans and forgotten family. Whenever his longest lasting girlfriend (before she turned out to be a giant spider) would tuck a strand of white hair behind her ear and mention the idea of children, sheepishly, a sly grin on her face, he would sputter and make an excuse, change topics, find a way to get out of the situation. Once, drunk, he’d even puked.
The Hamato clan would end with him, he’d decided as a child as he watched his mother disappear into a haze.
And yet life, as always, throws the most vicious of curveballs as he retreats from the crumbling lab with four bundles in his arms and hair sprouting from his legs.
So we can all agree Splinter’s been through some <i>shit</i>, right? Well, this fic decides to unpack all of that, from the loss of his mother, his many one-night-stands and the betrayal of Big Mama, being type-cast as an actor, to his painful mutation and more. The early challenges of fatherhood are where this fic truly shines, though. While it may be incomplete, these four chapters stand well on their own and make for a compelling read.

Genre: Fluff, Humor, Hurt/Comfort
"You want the lights off, too? Donnie?”
He realizes Donnie probably can't hear him around the headphones and reaches in to lift one of them, repeating the question.
Donnie hums.
"Want some mood music?”
Donnie hums a negative.
"Okay okay, last question, I promise. I'm gonna get my Jupiter Jim comics - want me to read them outloud? I'll do the cool voices!"
Another negative.
"Boooo," Leo says.
Just some vignettes about Leo and Donnie growing up together over the years and looking out for each other. Chapter 3 is set when they’re teenagers, but everything else has been set during their younger years, hence its placement in this category. Each chapter can stand well on its own, and there’s a nice mix of humor and feelings all around.

Genre: Suspense, Whump
They’re asking what he is talking about. But what kind of question is that? They’re playing hide and seek, wasn’t that obvious? And Lemon-Lime was being too loud, which could get them found by the person who’s ‘It’, which was the pure opposite of the point of hide and seek.
He tells them such. He tries to explain it all to them to the point that he is running out of breath. But they’re still not getting it. He knows they’re not getting it. But how could Lemon-Lime not, when they were hiding with him in the first place? Instead, they’re asking something else that should be known:
Who is ‘It’?
The world becomes brighter, free of its shadows. The wall in front of them is no longer where it used to be. In its place stands a large, snake-like figure towering over them, blindingly white save for the drifting, purplish, prisms that make up their clothes. Hundreds upon thousands of diamond prisms are embedded into their skin, shifting and melding together before reforming their individual shapes in a never ending cycle as waves of rainbow pulse across their entire body.
They’re familiar. He knows them. They’re ‘It’, he’s certain of it, just as much as he’s certain that the feeling inside of him is disappointment as he tells Lemon-Lime they just lost the game.
Leo plays a deadly game of hide and seek while on an acid trip from hell. Not that he’s aware of that—he’s having a pretty good time. And if he can’t remember who or where he is, much less what he’s lost? It’ll be fine, probably. Don’t worry about it. :)

Leo kneels down, grabbing his brother's wrist, pressing his fingers into the soft skin.
It's still. The room is quiet as he searches.
He can't feel it.
He can't feel his pulse. His heart isn't beating. His baby brother's heart isn't beating.
He hears his breath hitch, he knows his expression must be terrifying.
"Leo." Raph says, his voice pitching up in panic. "Leo, please, please."
Leo doesn't know what he's begging for. Maybe just for Leo not to say it.
Things I didn’t know until I read this fic: box turtles can be frozen alive but still survive, even if their heart stops. Too bad Mikey’s brothers don’t know that! This fic is mean, but an absolute delight if you enjoy your angst with a hope spot.

Character Focus: Michelangelo & April, Draxum & The Turtles
Genre: AU, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
“How badly did you want her to escape?” Donnie asks in a quiet mumble, eyes fixed elsewhere. “Badly enough for this? To risk-?”
“Yes,” Mikey says without hesitation.
That makes Donnie stutter, mouth twisting in a scowl. He recovers, hissing, “It’s inevitable, Mikey. Draxum is going to beat humanity, and we’re going to help him, this setback is just that. A setback. We’ll get the carriers back, or- or make more, and it will happen. You’ve just prolonged it all, this didn’t change anything.”
“It changed things for her!” Mikey snaps without meaning to. Donnie glares, but he doesn’t cower. “…It changed things for her,” he repeats, calmer.
An AU where Draxum raised the turtles, after capturing them five years after the lab accident. How loyal they are to him varies, however, which comes to a head when a certain human wanders into their base looking for her new pet... All around, this is a great read—I only wish it were a little longer.
Of Soft Shells and Little Brothers by ihaveathingforpink

Character Focus: Donatello & Leonardo, w/ Mayhem
Genre: Action, Hurt/Comfort
“Leo,” Don pushed, voice a rare gentle tone.
Leo glanced at him but said nothing. He seemed almost determined to remain stubbornly silent, and a dark thought crossed Donnie’s mind.
“Leo, why’d you offer to stay back with me?”
Leo shrugged and replied, “Because whatever you were finishing sounded important to you, and Pops wouldn’t have let you stay behind by yourself, and Raph and Mikey have been looking forward to this for weeks. So I volunteered. Why’d you ask?”
When Mayhem goes missing one Thanksgiving when April’s trapped by family and can’t get out of the house, Donnie volunteers to find him. To his surprise, Leo comes as well. What follows is one hell of a chase scene and a look into the two brothers’ relationship; the kind of reflection only acts of extreme violence can bring out. 
Side Character by technofantasia

Character Focus: Leonardo & Donatello (Leo-centric)
Genre: Character Study, Hurt/Comfort
He wasn't lying when he said he queued this up on a whim, even though it felt like a lie saying it. It really is just that he hasn't seen it in a while! Too long. It always used to be his comfort movie, so that kind of gap of time between viewings is just unbelievable.
…Though, watching it now, with the experience of one-and-a-half-or-maybe-two years under his belt (and the craziest one-and-a-half-or-maybe-two years of his life, at that), he's a bit startled to realize that it isn't quite as comforting as he remembers. He's noticing some things about it he never noticed before, like, well…
Well. The fact that it seems kind of bad, and it's suddenly really hard to like it.
JJ films are always cheesy, that's just a fact of life. What else could you expect from low budget sci-fi made in the mid-20th century? They're cheesy, and wacky, and Leo loves cheesy and wacky, he really does! But he's only now noticing that this film in particular is maybe a little bit too cheesy and wacky. Even though it's obviously trying to be a cool, epic adventure, half the lines are just lame jokes that ruin the atmosphere, and that's not even mentioning how the plot is completely unbelievable, and all because of how weirdly annoying…
…Anyway.
Unable to sleep, Leo decides to watch one of his old favorite movies, but it doesn’t hold up as well as he remembers. Honestly what’s really impressive about this fic, though, is how it showcases elements of Leo’s personality that don’t get addressed in canon until the Rise Movie—despite being written well before its release! The Jupiter Jim film Leo and Donnie watch in the fic is such a perfect mirror for the Krang invasion that I had to check the post date twice, but no, it really pre-dates it. Parts of this story get blisteringly intense, but it’s a great character study delving into Leo’s insecurities, balanced by love and support at the end. A very good read.

Genre: Family Bonding
“What are you doing?”
Raph flinched, surprised to see his dad in the doorway, though not embarrassed at all at being caught in the middle of his lessons. “Oh, hey Pop! Or- kon'ni chee-wa, otōsan.”
Splinter blinked. “Uh, konnichiwa to you as well, Red. So, you are… learning Japanese?”
“Yeah!” Raph grinned, “I mean, I just started a couple weeks ago so I still got a ways to go, but I think I’m startin’ to get the basics down! Hmph, though, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to write it for a while.”
Splinter chuckled a little. “Hiragana and katakana are not so bad. Now kanji? That is when it can get complicated.”
Raph gave him an incredulous look. “There’s more than one way to write it?!”
Set after the Season 2 finale and with thoughts of family history on the mind, the boys take an interest in their cultural heritage. Splinter gains a new appreciation for how meaningful that can be. This is a sweet fic that’s perfect for anyone who craves content where everyone grows closer as a family.
Happiness is a Warm Puppy by JustAndrea

Genre: Fluff, Family Bonding
“Ugh...“ Raph pinched the bridge of his nose while Mikey just giggled. He could already tell that Mikey wasn’t going to take no for an answer. Still, he had to at least try. “Mike, I already told you, I’m just a little tired. I don’t need a special break or anything-”
“Who says you have to need it?” Mikey said simply, dropping all amusement, “Can’t you just enjoy it?” Raph huffed, but didn’t give an answer, instead choosing to look down at the silver wrapper still in his hand.
Leaning forward, Mikey put his hand over his brother’s. “Like you said, things have been rough. This whole situation is just… a lot. But we’ve all been working hard to move through it, especially you! Don’t you think that work deserves a reward?”
Post-S2 Finale, Mikey decides Raph really needs a break after all that stress. What better way to relax than to play with a swarm of puppies and some one-on-one time between the biggest and littlest bros? This fic is a fluffy bonding experience, with cameos from Todd that gave me a good laugh.

Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Humor
It was Donnie's idea to come scavenge for all of his broken (useless) tech, but now he's just standing here staring at the scattered vestiges of what is essentially his life's work. All the time designing and building weapons, and for what?
The Shredder tore through all of it like paper.
(See, he is the funny one.)
Set early in Season 2 after “Many Unhappy Returns”, Donatello throws himself into working on his damaged tech to stave off confronting how affected by the fight he really is. This obviously works perfectly, zero complications. Just ignore the panic attack.

Genre: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort
“What about… a dishwasher?”
“I have an automated one that does the job very well.”
“Oh c’mon BM, you know what I mean!”
“Pepino, while I appreciate the sentiment, most of my guests prefer their glasses in one piece. You’ll find they are more effective that way.”
“That’s just rude! I do the dishes at home all the time!”
Hueso maintained his flat stare.
“Okay, some of the time.”
“Hm.”
“Fine! Very, very rarely. But that’s just ‘cause I hate chores, not ‘cause I break them!”
Confession: I love Señor Hueso, he might just be my favorite of the many new characters Rise introduced to the franchise. Imagine my delight, then, when I found this little gem! It’s a charming 4+1 setup featuring Hueso being forced to deal with Leo’s antics until the young turtle grows on him.

“Prepare to meet your ĐǿƠ𝓜, brother.”
The rest of his family looked up.
“Pfffft.” Leonardo rested his chin in his hands. “As if anything you come up with is gonna beat former U.S. President Fillard Milmore and his bumblebeard, let alone me .”
“Millard Filmore,” Donnie corrected. “And honestly, Leon, you ought to cease running your mouth, lest it catch flies~!”
Leo glared. “Alright, that’s enough theatrics. Lay your cards down and we’ll see who the real winner is.”
Donnie laid down his cards.
“See, the thing is,” he said, smugness oozing from his voice, “I agree: I really can’t beat you, Leo. No one can. And that’s why I win.”
Set after the quartet of “Tales of the Hidden City” episodes, this fic is actually more of a response to “Lair Games”—namely, how hard Donnie’s had to struggle to catch up with his brothers, combined with Leo’s propensity to be a poor loser. It’s not all drama, though. The first two chapters are mostly humor-focused, with some incredibly strong dialogue that had me hooting. It’s also not angst for the sake of angst—I really loved where both boys end this fic at emotionally.

“That’s what this is about?” Hypno asked, standing up and dusting himself off, “Aw geez, I didn’t mean to bring up old wounds. I was just trying to rob a bank. You know, low-grade villian stuff!”
The four looked at Hypno, a little dumb struck. Donnie spoke up. “What?”
“I mean, we all went through quite a lot with the alien attack, especially you guys. I thought something light and non-threatening like robbing a bank could get us all back on our feet.” Hypno explained, waving a cloth and somehow making a circular table appear, the cloth acting as a tablecloth. Out of thin air, Hypno pulled out five stools and set them up by the table, then somehow grabbed a teapot and teacups and set them up too. “Tea?” He began pouring.
There are a lot of fics out there tackling how the turtles work through everything the movie put them through, but this one sets itself apart by how episodic it is. I mean that in a good way. There’s continuity between all the chapters, but each one has a different setup and focuses on a different problem. Each of the boys are fully fleshed out here, and there’s some fun cameos. Like Hypno!

Genre: Supernatural, Hurt/Comfort
The bracelets were haunted—that, or turning 18 had unlocked a whole new meaning to the phrase “twin telepathy.” They entered rooms together, poured milk into each other’s cereal bowls, finished each other’s sentences, which meant the arguments never really ended; they only paused indefinitely until one of them realized they weren’t arguing out loud.
The yokai who sold Leo the bracelets said they amplified strong threads between siblings or friends or lovers; the kind of rare ties only lucky people had. You look the type, she said, and what else could Leo say to that? (The bracelets were also discounted for AAPI month, but Donnie didn’t need to know.)
Ohhh, this fic is an absolute treat. There’s not a lot of fic out there that play with Rise’s mystic elements, which is a shame because it’s one of the strengths of the series. Imagine my delight, then, when I first found this gem and its vivid portrayal of cursed baubles and yokai folklore. It’s a lovely package for the emotional focus of the story, which centers on Donatello and Leonardo growing older and growing apart, and the uncertainty of where that leaves them. This is a must-read.

“...I think I might be a bad older brother.”
“Nonsense.” Splinter reached across the table, squeezing his eldest son’s hand. “You are no such thing, Red One. You are selfless, kind-hearted, protective, and far more patient than most. You are far from being a bad older brother.”
“Hmph.” Raph still kept his eyes locked on the old wooden table they were sitting at, his father’s compliments just bouncing off him. “Alright, then I’m a bad influence.”
For a long time, Raph has built his identity on being the oldest—the protector who would do anything for the sake of his little brothers. He has a harder time accepting them doing the same for him, though. How do you deal with that?

"I do not want to be in your brain," Leo says, poking at Donnie’s forehead, who swats his hand away. "What am I gonna do if you start on one of your nerd rants? I'm not gonna be able to run away from my own head."
"Wow thanks Leo, and now that I think about it, melding my mind with yours would probably only decrease my overall IQ, and we'd all die the moment we'd have to perform basic arithmetic."
"I would love to have a session with Dr. Delicate Touch and the both of you," Mikey says, serenely, and Donnie and Leo both wisely scoot away from Mikey and closer to each other for safety. "A mind meld would mean no escape for either of you."
"Maintain eye contact, and make slow, careful movements," Leo warns, grabbing Donnie and clinging to him with his one good arm. "Never turn your shell on him."
"Heeey," Donnie says, clinging back to Leo. "How about. Instead of Dr. Delicate Touch. We have a chat with literally anyone else. Like. Dr. Feelings…?"
"Oh!" Mikey says, snapping his fingers. "That's a great idea and you just reminded me. Leo! Let's talk."
In terms of emotional catharsis, this might be one of my very favorites for the Rise fandom. Leo may be the focus character here, but the rest of the family gets a strong showing with top-notch dialogue and meaningful moments. There’s a section where Raph and Leo try a mind meld, and no joke, my heart was so full I cried. Other features of this fic: well-intentioned sibling hijinks with Mikey and Donnie with the kind of banter that could be taken from the show, as well as a thoughtful heart-to-heart with Casey. And don’t even get me started on Splinter’s section; that made me cry again. Twice, with this fic! As for Leo himself? I don’t say this lightly (because there’s SO many good fics out there tackling this subject), but this might be one of the most satisfying portrayals of how he comes to confront his mistakes and trauma. Honestly I could gush for days about this fic, I can’t recommend it enough. 
How to spruce up your lair in 10 easy steps! by bigdamnher0

Character Focus: The Hamato Family
Genre: Family Bonding, Hurt/Comfort
On the news, New York was rebuilding. Why couldn’t they do the same? And when was the last time they showed the lair a little love?
“Far too long,” Donnie agreed, his first words after weeks; the whole family went quiet to fish-gape at him. Post-Kraang, the adrenaline swirled out of his system and Donnie had clammed up. Nothing but the mechanical churr from his lab for days. "What?” He blinked. “Well? What are we working with here?”
Raph cleared his throat. "Guys?"
Splinter raised his hand.
“Dad, I cannot replicate your favorite Hollywood suite," Donnie said blearily. "If you haven’t noticed, we live in a sewer. I cannot build you a veranda with a lake view."
Huffing, Splinter lowered his arm.
The family copes with the aftermath of the invasion with some home renovation! It goes about as well as you’d expect, and may or may not be a metaphor for how not well they’re dealing with it. Strong hurt/comfort, with a healthy dash of hijinks.

He went to grab the sandwich, but pulled his hand back the second he touched the bread, taking in a sharp breath.
It hurt. Like pins and needles, but worse. Almost like electricity. It spread along his hands, up his arms. Pulling them close to his chest, Mikey winced, feeling the tears start to gather in the corners of his eyes. His toes curled up and he bent down, hunching over his lap.
“Mikey? Mikey, you okay?”
“Orange, what’s wrong?”
“Master Michelangelo?”
He couldn’t answer, couldn’t say anything, too focused on trying not to cry.
Some Mikey-centered fallout content post-movie, which sees him with some growing separation anxiety after what happened to his brothers, as well as chronic pain from the consequences of opening the portal. The sunshine boy’s really going through it in this one.

“Say, ‘Angelo,” The soft-shell started slowly, “What if we… What if we did a solo mission?”
Mikey’s eyes widened. “You mean, like, just you and me?” Donatello nodded.
“Think about it. You feel like you have something to prove, which is unnecessary but your feelings are acknowledged nonetheless, and I feel like I… Also have something to prove. If we can beat these guys, just the two of us, we’ll have nothing else to prove to ourselves, right?”
About time we reached some adventures with the B-Team! Feeling some inferiority to their brothers, as well as frustration for how overprotective they’ve become, Donnie and Mikey set out to show they can manage things on their own—only to find this isn’t just a simple robbery, and that they may have bitten off a little more than they can chew.

"Sensei, are you okay? You went still for a moment," the boy noted softly, eyebrows furrowing together in concern. His clothing left much to be desired as well, consisting of brown rags and mismatched patches of colour and thread, each equally covered in dust from the wind.
Leo opened his mouth to ask who he was, where they were, but something else left his mouth entirely.
"I'm alright, Casey. Just tired after scouting.”
His right hand (he didn’t move it, he wasn’t moving it, he wasn’t in control,) reached out to pat the boy—Casey, it seemed—gently on the shoulder.
There was almost a detached amount of horrified interest as Leo watched his arm reach out. Or rather, watched not his arm, but… Raph’s arm?
Figuring out which category to put this fic in was a struggle. Technically it’s set weeks before the movie is set—though it’s plot will surely see it catch up to the events of the invasion—yet huge, important sections of it detail the events of the apocalypse timeline, and— WELL. Can you see my struggle?? Even so, this fic has a intriguing setup, and is well worth the investment. The premise? Long before things are meant to go wrong, Leo starts to experience his future self’s memories and has no idea what to make of it. These memories become harder and harder to dismiss, but it’s unclear what they mean just yet, or what changes will come about as a result.

Genre: Angst, Action
"Greetings, you rebellious insects. I have a special show for you today," Kraang said to the camera.
Of course Kraang understood how to demoralize people, he was too smug to not know-
"It seems one of your leaders finally came out of his shell," he said, the cameras moving to focus on Donatello, and he hated how he saw fear on his face. He hoped that it wasn't so clear to everyone else, that the wideness of his eyes, the clench of his jaw seems more like determination than terror.
His family would know the truth though.
"It was quite the plan he had to try and hurt the Kraang. A virus to disrupt our systems. I'll admit, I didn't expect any of you to be smart enough to figure out how to do that," Kraang said coolly and pulled up Jeremy's body. "Would you like to tell them what you did, hero? The cost of your little program?"
Donnie looked at Kraang. Then at the camera. He still had his plan. He still had his plan.
This is another one of those fics where each chapter stands fairly well on its own. I don’t know if the author intends to continue it, but the first chapter alone dug its hooks in me with its tale of Donatello’s last stand—and his farewell to Leo, Mikey, and April. It pumped me up and broke my heart all in one go; that alone would be enough to get it on this list, but the second chapter is fairly strong as well, detailing the family’s first encounter with the Krang, in the timeline where Casey wasn’t there to assist, and haha, it hurts. But in the best of ways.

“So, what’d he do? Help dye Shelldon’s hair behind you back? Switched your toothpaste with glue?”
“Leo.” Donnie-boy says again, this time with the kind of exhaustion usually reserved for post-battle failed surgery. Turning to look at him, Don’s face is ragged, haunted, too much like... when Dad died.
Sitting up properly, Leo regards him. “Don?”
“He-” Cutting himself off, that deep-set anger returning to Donnie’s eyes. After a moment, he huffs, though it’s closer to a snarl, and flings his hands into the air. “It’s all this stupid mystic bullshit! We never should’ve gotten involved with it. We were fine before, and now-”
“Donnie. What’s he done?”
“It’s what he wants to do that’s the problem.”
The idea to use a timegate comes long before we see Michelangelo use it in the movie—long before the end. In the face of that, Leo makes him a deal. A nice look on the history of the bad timeline, and who else was lost long before the turtles were reduced to a duo.

TEB Scrapped scene Ch 30
Spoilers for ch 30, sort of, so read under your own discretion! This is the post linked to the Author Note, regarding the scrapped scene where....
The 12-fam is the one doing the rescuing~ it's a short snippet, here you go!
*** Scrapped, 12 fam rescue ending ***
The white lights of the ceiling — too white, just like the lab, just like Draxum’s lab — blinked repeatedly.
Then shut down completely, so the only source of light was the oval portal, which had yet to dissipate, and the glowing web that was keeping them down.
The darkness is welcome, it is an opportunity. They can run. Portal is light.
They don’t roar, but they force their tired body to move, no matter how much it hurts. They trash against the glowing bindings. The pink aliens are going pium-pium at something in the darkness, and they can mildly recognize the sounds and scent as familiar. Tots, family, their tot family? 
“I’ve got you,” the blue one says, the glint of a sharp blade stabbing the circle that… originated the glowing net? Oh, of course, everything had a source, One should have seen it— but it was ok, they had been too worried, too afraid, Mind Raph said it was ok to be afraid, and Savage believed him. Mind Raph was nice with him, always nice...
“Let’s get out of here,” the red one urges, reaching to their arm to pull them up, releasing his grip when they flinch and whine in pain.
“Take. Child. Leave,” they said instead, gesturing to the redhead with their nose. They’re too slow, too many auchies, not safe to stay with them, they can’t protect.
“No turtle stays behind,” Third denies quickly. “Donnie, we need the spiky-bro rolley!”
“I’M KINDA BUSY RIGHT NOW!” Second screams from somewhere far away.
The lights come back up. The walls cackle with electricity as they are coated with the force shield once more, but the ceiling doesn’t get any zip-zips.
The ceiling doesn’t. It has an opening, the one the tots used to come inside, both entrance and exit.
They could escape, they all could escape.
They forced their body to stand up once more, still hugging the humanoid child. Second is cursing and running away from pink-robot-aliens, as he abandons an open panel present on one of the biggest machines. 
The orange one is screaming “Heeeeey! Over here you dumb rock!”  as he throws random things at the giant, jumping and running across the highest places of the ceiling as he screams, barely escaping from a rock fist.
“Orange. Tot… not safe. Help!” they throw the human child over their shoulder, so they can use both hands to grab onto the structure above as they jump. It hurts, everything hurts, but they’re so close, so close! They can make it, they all can make it out alive!
“Mikey we’re getting away now! We all are!” the blue one orders, even when he doesn’t jump himself. “Donnie, ETA!?”
“T-minus three, so get on running!” 
The orange tot goes up, exits the building to get to the roof, and they follow right after. The red tot grabs the purple one and helps him up, so only the blue one is left.
The blue one disappears in a cloud of smoke, leaving the enemies confused, as he jumps up and up and up...
—> AN: If I had gone with this route, perhaps the Rise fam would have had like, a second or two in the 12 dimension before having the lab blow up in their faces. It would have been quite different, their reunion would have taken quite longer… either way, what was a “must have” plot point was for [Redacted] which is what happened on the official Ch 31st *winks in Author* Ain’t that neat? ;D

First of all
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳
Second. What is Caleb's and Lotties relationship with Janice and Floyd like?
I know that as their parents they love each other a lot, but are there ever any times where they clash?
Also what were Caleb and Lottie doing during Muppets Mayhem?
Thank yoouuu!! My bday itself is on the 29th and I am *so* unbelievably nervous for it! I’ll be 21….hoo boy-
If they where in Muppets Mayhem they where probably just chilling at the shack for the most part or hanging out with Moog, the band probably consider Moog like family since he’s been with them on the road for so long. I forget the name of Nora’s sister but Lottie would LOVE hanging out with her! She’d be team Moog’s official hype team in getting Moog together with Nora. I like to imagine both of them liking Miss Penny (Caleb in general likes everybody anyway-) and her begrudgingly growing fond of them but she’ll never say it. I picture her as the type of give them sweets but they’re really just cough drops or something 
As for their relationship they’re all a pretty knightly knit family unit!! I figured this ask would be more fun and easier to read with bullet points so here are some hc’s about Caleb’s and Lottie’s bond with their parents!
Caleb:
🐌 - Caleb was such a shy little tot, he was scared of everything that wasn’t his parents for a large majority of his baby years. He could only handle his parents and Animal, anybody else? He cried and screamed. He gradually chilled out as he got older but it wasn’t until he was walking about on his own did he learn the band are family and he was fine to be left alone with them without bursting into tears (Janice and Floyd have no clue where his anxiety as a baby came from but they did their best to manage it) 
🐌 - He was and still is a mama’s boy. He was the calmest with Janice as a baby and she was the one who was able to get him to calm down the fastest. Floyd was a tiny bit hurt by this, but told himself that babies can sometimes be funny like that and to give Caleb time (he did pout for like the entire day tho when Caleb said Ma first before Da, though his first official word was snail)
🐌 - It’s pretty obvious that Caleb takes after Janice’s laid back, tranquil personality so he’s not very confrontational like Floyd can sometimes be. But he does have a habit of being super sassy and blunt without meaning too (or *does* he mean to?-), which Floyd finds absolutely hilarious, especially when Caleb was still a kiddo and he’d just bluntly refer to Piggy by one of the many nicknames Floyd calls her (it was less fun for Floyd when Janice would as Caleb where he learnt such a mean nickname, and Caleb would innocently point to Floyd).
Despite them being very different Caleb still holds a healthy bond with his dad. Floyd already had experience raising Animal so he was pretty chill when Caleb came along and all the unexpected baby shenanigans he pulled. Even if Floyd never really understood Caleb’s anxiety as a kid he always remained patient and level headed whenever he’d get all worked up about something (totally sang to him as a kid like he did with Animal, Janice will forever insist it is the most beautiful thing ever). Their bond definitely got stronger when Caleb got older and he was allowed to hang out with his dad and uncles during their rehearsals. Overall they have a very chill, loving bond. Caleb loves to make occasional little pokes at Floyd being smaller then him. Janice is a string bean who is taller then Floyd and Caleb got all the tall genes, so he ends up being a couple inches taller then his dad 
🐌 - His bond with Janice is just as close, but as a kid Caleb naturally sought comfort from his mum as all babies do, and fond calmness in her easy going nature. Janice had her nerves at first, especially when Floyd - having already raised Animal - already had experience where she didn’t, but Janice and Caleb have a lot of similar interests so bonding came easy to them when Caleb was a toddler. They often bonded a lot over nature, since Janice wanted Caleb to have a very down to earth up bringing. Caleb especially loved to go snail watching with his Ma whenever it rained, one of his earliest memories is being outside in a grassy area as it rained and intently watching a snail that Janice had carefully placed in his hand. Then being swaddled in a big fluffy towel afterwards and having his hair dried (basically just watch the entire episode of Rain from Bluey). 
Janice loves to braid hair, so she would always volunteer to brush Caleb’s hair, she found it a very enjoyable bonding experience with Caleb, who always grew to love having his hair brushed.  
When he’s sad Caleb tends to go non-verbal (picture Bingo at the end of the episode dancemode) so when he was little he’d sit with Janice till he felt comfortable to talk 
🐌 - Even when he’s older Caleb and Janice are still close, he’ll often go to her first when it comes to more serious stuff he’s nervous about before bringing them up with his dad. They both like to mediate and talk about crystals together, and Caleb loves to infodump about snails to her, and Janice is always chill to listen. Caleb is a bit more aware of things then Janice can sometimes be, but even when she may be oblivious to something Caleb rarely get annoyed or angry so he simply lightly corrects her. Caleb still likes to have his hair combed/braided by her so sometimes he’ll just sit in front of her on the floor and she’ll start braiding it out of second nature 
Lottie:
🌸 - Lottie was basically the opposite of baby Caleb. She was loud and babbled, the only thing they had in common is that baby Lottie also demanded constant attention from her parents and uncles. In a way she was sorta like Animal as a baby, so Floyd was still very chill with everything, sort of rolling with the chaos Lottie brought. Janice struggled a bit more, since Lottie was such a stark contrast to Caleb, but her and Floyd eventually found a rhythm that worked for Lottie. Since Lottie was totally fine with the band from the beginning they where extra dotting on her to make up for the time they couldn’t fuss baby Caleb. Overall Lottie was still a demanding tot but in a very different way then Caleb. She also loved to pull on Floyd’s moustache (just like Caleb and Animal before her), Teeth’s beard and Lips’s goatee (she’d do the same with dear old Grandpa Tibbs and Mick. No bodies beard or goatee is safe-)
🌸 - She was close with her parents and her dear uncles, but as she grew up she was definitely more like Floyd. Lottie gets her sass from dear old Floyd and often likes to test the boundaries of how much she could get away with. All the dotting from when she was a baby kind of back firing in the bands face. Most of the time, Floyd found Lottie’s sass funny, expect when he’d get a taste of his own medicine and she’d be sassy right back at him (which the band found hilarious). This sometimes led to Floyd and Lottie bickering cuz their sass leads to them being stubborn at times, but they always end up feeling back for fighting and apologising, sometimes with some encouragement from Janice. 
🌸 - Lottie is still a little kid so she’ll sometimes be prone to pushing boundaries and testing how far she can bend the rules, but she’s learned to tone it down a notch. Her and Floyd still get along great, since they both share the same sassy streak and Floyd can easily manage her high levels of energy because he had to do the same for Animal (Lottie also ADORES her Uncle Animal. I know Animal is basically Floyd’s son but with the age gap Caleb and Lottie view him more as a really fun Uncle). She also loves all of Teeth’s shiny rings and other jewels so she likes to play dress up with them, sometimes forgetting to ask first but Teeth doesn’t mind. Lottie is also able to keep up with the bands energy a lot more then Caleb can, who sometimes needs to take a time out to go recharge himself
🌸 - Lottie loves both of her parents, she really does, but Lottie has ADHD and really struggles to do the whole “centring herself with her aura”, which involves a lot of sitting still. Lottie needs to move about to burn off access energy/stimulate her brain, so she can get frustrated whenever Janice wants to spend time together meditating. They bond a lot better over singing and dancing, Janice likes to do little imrov riffs of her guitar and Lottie likes to make up dances to them. Sometimes Lottie will pull Janice and Floyd up to dance with her and they have a lot of fun!

“Terrible” Two’s
This idea (as well as another upcoming one) was suggested by @corieeful, thank you and I hope it turned out well 😊
Summary: You’re in for a long day when a mining trip gone wrong leads to you being stuck in a bit of a tense situation with not one but two familiar faces… (we’ll say this is set not long after Tiny Tot)
Characters: Puffy and Niki x Reader
Relationships: platonic
Pronouns: unspecified/kept neutral
“Let’s see… coal… iron, defiantly iron… maybe some redstone and lapis… if I’m lucky, diamonds too.” You go over a small checklist of materials you needed as you approach the cave you were supposed to meet Niki and Puffy at. Having to deal with Wilbur earlier that day you noticed some items needed to be restocked, you’re thankful Nikki and Puffy agreed to the quick change of plans, everything was working out great.
“(Y/n)! We were starting to wander if you headed into the cave already.” Niki waves to you.
“Nah, just late.” You chuckle. “Anyways, thanks again though for agreeing to meet here last minute, I know we agreed to just have a chat over lunch but I really needed-”
“(Y/n).” Puffy stops you. “It’s alright, we sorta needed some materials as well, and besides what better way to work up an appetite.”
“Fair enough.” You say with a nod and the three of you make your way into the cave.
You almost had everything you needed, just a some more iron and you’d be good to go, rounding into another tunnel you pause and step away when you see the walls of this tunnel were covered in that strange blueish-green moss. You were unsure if it’d affect you a second time since you’ve been so careful to avoid it and not wanting to take your chances you turn down a different tunnel. You try to refocus on your task at hand only to finally realize you’d lost sight of where Niki and Puffy had gone.
“They should be fine,” you mutter to yourself. “They’re both capable fighters, and I’m pretty sure they know…” Your own voice trails off on you as you try and fail to convince yourself that everything’s fine, though it doesn’t help your case when you catch faint whimpers echo through the tunnel. Without much thought you hurry your way to the source of the whimpers pausing in front of the moss covered tunnel, you didn’t want to step into it and thankfully you didn’t have to as two familiar looking children waddle towards you hand in hand. “Oh no,” you sigh out, part of you almost wanting to laugh at how fluffy Puffy looked but you restrain yourself.
“Suppose you two took a wrong turn, huh?” You say the two staring at you with big eyes. Puffy tilts her head slightly and let’s out a curious bleat, you hum amused and raise your hand up to her. Still holding onto Niki’s hand, she takes a step closer and examines your hand before softly butting her head into it affectionately, giving you the chance to pet her soft wool. Niki let’s out a small whine, obviously feeling left out, so you ruffle up her hair a bit, earning a giggle from her.
“Pom! (This adorable name is brought to you by @saturnhas82moons)” She bounces happily, you chuckle softly to yourself finding the whole thing adorable only to remember where you still are.
“Alright, let’s get you two out of here and somewhere safer.” You suggest. Normally it’d be easier to just pick them up but they seemed determined to walk hand in hand with each other. Your solution for this, make a little human/hybrid chain, you offer your own hand to them, Puffy happily taking it and you lead them along through the winding tunnels of the cave. To help keep the girls distracted you played eye spy with them, sure Puffy only let out bleats and baas and Niki would just point and make a noise but they were having fun and definitely calming down more. You still stayed on high alert though, this is still a cave and if the echoing rattle or groans were any indication, danger could be lurking around any corner.
“Alright, I spy with my little eye something that is…” You trail off as you look around for something the girls could point to.
“Boom!” Niki suddenly shouts.
“Boom?” You look at her confused. “I don’t see-” You hear a hiss and you catch sight of something green, eyes widening in realization before you grab the girls and dart in the other direction without a second thought. Navigating through the cave blindly was not ideal but with more mobs starting to come after you, you didn’t have much of a choice, the worst of them were the cave spiders, one biting into your leg. You hiss in pain but manage to stomp the spider off of you and push through poisoning effects that were starting to take hold, finding an entrance to an old mineshaft you practically throw yourself through and seal the entrance with cobblestone. Finally setting the two girls down you slump to the floor, taking a second to catch your breath while using a shaky hand to look through your inventory for an antidote. Finding what your looking for you immediately drink the antidote, coughing a little at the bitter taste but relieved when the poisonous effects start wearing off.
“Pom.” Niki stares at you tearfully, placing a hand on your injured leg, you tense slightly from the touch.
“Shhh, I know, I know, that big mean spider got me pretty bad, huh.” You shush her calmly, pulling out some bandages. “But it’s okay, that’s why we come prepared. I’ll be okay.” You reassure her as you wrap your leg up. Niki settles down beside you, still shaking and sniffling as she leans her head into your side. A second weight is placed on your lap as a teary Puffy crawls onto you and nuzzles herself into you with a soft baa, you weren’t going to complain, her wool was soft and helped warm you up a bit. “Hey, it’s okay. I just need a second to catch my breath then we can get out of here, I promise.” You gently pet Puffy, effectively helping to calm the little lamb down.
You sat in that mineshaft for a while, not really able to tell the time, if you had to guess maybe around 15-20 minutes before you felt stable enough to stand again. The girls also scramble to their feet, giving you concerned stares when you start limping, you easily notice this.
“I know this isn’t ideal but the sooner we get out of here the sooner we’ll be safe.” You encourage them, pulling out your pickaxe. You start chipping away at the walls to make as decent a staircase as possible, slowly working your way upwards. It was starting to take a toll on your leg, the upward climb not fairing too well, but like with the spider bite you push through it, nearly crying in relief when stone turned to dirt then the open sky was revealed to you. You help Niki and Puffy out first before climbing out yourself and flopping to the ground exhausted. Timing seemed to be oh so perfect as the somewhat familiar whirling sound fills your ears and a now normal Niki and Puffy stand over you. “Hi.” Is all you’re able to manage saying.
“Come here. Let’s get you out of here.” Puffy hoists your arm over her shoulder, Niki joining in on the other side as the both of them start the long trek home.
“Are you gonna be okay?” Niki asks you, looking a bit guilty.
“I’ll live.” You sigh, your exhausted expression turning into a small smirk. “But I’m sure some sugar in my system will really help get energy back.” Niki chuckles lightly at this.
“Some? After what just pulled, I’ll bake you a whole cake.”
“I won’t complain to that.”
“Still,” Puffy pipes in, “our ignorance when were… for lack of a better word, small, nearly cost you a lot.”
“It alright, you don’t need to beat yourself up over this, really.” You turn to look at her properly. “Your my friends, so of course I’d help you were and when I can. And, I guess you could say I have a sort of natural protective instinct for kids, or something, so put two and two together and it’s not too surprising I’d do anything to keep people safe. Does that make sense or am I just spouting gibberish?” You try explaining.
“No, I get it. I feel the same way.” Puffy reassures. You nod and the three of you continue the journey home, making light conversation about other topics and future plans.
If anyone has a suggestion on who you’d like to see next let me know, I’d love to hear it 😁
