Im sorry its been something i’ve noticed a lot in human designs but why is Leo the only turtle who resembles Splinter even a little bit when they’re ALL his bio kids and would technically be half japanese? Its just weird because the most common theme for human turtles I’ve seen is “black kid black kid black kid lightskinned blasian kid who is also leader” and its starting to rub me wrong. You’re not the only person doing it, but you are the first person to show up on my dash when the question has been itching at me.

Wow. It's actually remarkable that anyone is remotely miffed about this, but let's talk about it.

I am an East Asian artist from a multiethnic family. Some of my family members appear very Asian. Some appear very Middle Eastern. From personal experience, I can assert that all because somebody does not have the stereotypical features of one race does not make that ethnic identity any less valid. Donnie, Raph, and Mikey are also Japanese and Black. Calm down.

It is also a popular headcanon that human Leo looks more like his dad because it is stated multiple times in the show that he particularly resembles him (such as in the fish and ladders episode, or when they literally wear matching outfits in the Battle Nexus). Sometimes Blasian kids get an extra dose of the "Asian." It does not make them any less Black. It also does not make their other siblings any less Asian.

Additionally, TMNT is a franchise with heavy found family themes. Even if they're not genetically related, it should NOT "rub you wrong" to see siblings from different races, nor to see someone who is more Asian in appearance in a leadership role.

This is a largely safe fandom and it is valid to ask questions but we're talking about a sweet silly show about turtles. Let's keep this a microaggression-free space, shall we?

#they're literally just turtle siblings why get peeved off about race??#Fandoms should NOT have to tiptoe around multiethnic families #Leo and Donnie are still twins btw #Literally no twins I've met from multiethnic families look alike lmao #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles

... and thus The Gemini Egg Saga comes to a close.

(sort of. because I told you guys via bribe that I'd show you how Donnie and Mama's conversation went after his near brush with death... so expect that in the near future.) (<- now published!)

Hi, old follower here from before you had 100 followers. I've got a semi serious question for you.

When I first followed you, I got the impression that you were a RP blog, in the case where you would RP with your "brother" (bettertwin9000), so I followed the rules as such. But later on it seems that this blog is your persona? In terms of everything said to this blog is a personal question to you? It's a weird situation where people asking those intrusive questions make sense for a RP blog, but in a normal blog situation it makes it intrusive.

Tldr, I think many are confused if this is an RP blog or you having Leo as your persona, so can you confirm what this blog actually is?

OMG HI LONG TIME FOLLOWER!!

And, for the sake of things making a little bit of sense, as much as sense as we can manage, keep in mind that we have OSDD, we're a system-

PUTTING IT UNDER CUT CAUSE IT'S LONG 😅

At the start of the blog <- in which we were advertising it as a roleplay blog, it was being run by our host and partially by me though I had no clue what I was doing at the time and bettertwin9000 was being run by our partner <- (which btw, made for some strange asks)

We continued advertising it as a roleplay even when we began suspecting and having full breakdowns over the idea of being a system due to some little things and some big things and lots of research and therapy and blah blah BUT we kept going back on it cause tbh DID is a hard thing to accept and we didn't want it <- still don't

SO now I was trying to run the blog more all the while trying to keep us grounded, IGNORING the possibility of DID and thinking, nah, this is just a really bad cause of delusions and we NEED to get reality checked NOW.

But I ALREADY KNEW i'm not REALLY Leo from rottmnt, but I am him, I was formed from that guy, created? Idk. He made me in his own image type reference audio. WOW IM NOT EXPLAINING ANYTHING 😭😭 did I mention we have a tendency to overexplain <- but specifically for me in the case of explaining things that are hard to explain, ANYWHIZZLE.

We kept going back and forth, confirming and denying the conclusion "we have osdd" cause that's terrifying and while this was happening I was still trying to force us to post and interact and involve ourself in arcs for the sake of distraction from EVERYTHING happening irl and the blog kind of made it worse but in a light hearted way cause suddenly the asks became really gross, and I felt really gross.

Sure, maybe someone who was roleplaying Leonardo would have no trouble answering asks about dead relatives or near death experiences or villains that have physically harmed you and your 'siblings' or about my crippling inability to speak about feelings and whatever else people diagnosed me with on here but I was having trouble answering it, I was getting uncomfortable and I was feeling genuinely overwhelmed because everything that definitely would be great material for a roleplay account was making me just feel, bad. <- which wasn't great considering at the time, feeling bad was not something i could have been affording to do

SO at some point, I started putting boundaries, didn't explain why, just continued under the guise of hey, roleplay guy here, the intruvsive invasive asks about my family and my mental health and my anatomy is making me want to die so please stop andbonly ask fun stuff like idk, if i put salt in donnie's coffee sometimes and everyone was like, yes leonardo in unison.

Then I slowly started getting more adamant on pushing the narrative that I am LITERALLY Leo from the show cause pushing that seemed to really help with the questions, and then the roleplay blog became more like. A personal blog for some dude who happened to be a ninja turtle alter and it'd unfortunately gotten so out of hand that explaining this now kind of made us even more exhausted cause oh man, we might get fake claimed huh <- we had worse things to deal with, internet drama didn't need to be added to this.

Anyway, if you read through all that junk, i'm sorry 😭, but i think it helps explain why the impression of the blog is so confusing cause it was being run by two ppl, a host and an alter who were constantly trying NOT to be those things until pretty recently when we started accepting the fact that we have Osdd

SO TIMELINE.

The blog starts off as an rp blog by our host and I unbeknownst to us both

The blog is fun and we start gaining traction

We also start gaining more mental health problems and have a full breakdown multiple times on many different social medias

We push through to cope

We talk to the other blog runners who are systems <- (Mikey, Raph and at the time when their account was apart of this, April) and they kindly answer and guide us through some things

We start adding boundaries for my sake

We talk to other systems on other social media and they help us with more stuff

We talk to our therapist

We do a ton of research on top of old research we'd apparently already done before <- suddenly we have a long document with so much information

We tell no one about the discovery when we start accepting the possibility

More funny stuff ensue and personal life things happen <- #ONLYTHEREALONESKNOW!

The only announcement I ever make that i'm an alter are one off comments in tags or answers that I never address again until I make an intro post that says I'm an alter in a system

The blog is what now?

The blog is still a roleplay account. Sometimes, canceled arcs that we would have done would have been considered roleplay <- a canceled christmas arc. But usually, this is just a blog. Like, this is just a blog I use to entertain people and to get some of my thoughts out like a singlet would. It's both i guess, it's whatever I want it to be and whatever you guys consider it to be.

The blog is just, my blog, I don't know how else to explain it 😅😅

Also, Bettertwin9000 was pretty much going through the same thing at the time and fun fact, he is actually my "brother" cause he's a Donnie alter <- (yay!)

Shoutout to the host who has their own blogs that they never really post on! couldn't have done it without you! <- and the many kind individuals who gave us their research material and links and answered our questions and stuck w/ us through the most confusing part of OUR LIFE

Srry again if this didn't answer your question like at all by the way, i THINK it at least explained some things but you know 😭 SORRY IDK

#do i wanna use fandom tags #maybe #can other systems validate us btw cause i'll be honest I still think we are faking this #if anyone had similar experiences it'd be cool to read it #did osdd #osdd 1b #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #unpause rise of the tmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt donnie #rise donnie #disaster twins #leo rottmnt

"i still want you as my brother, no matter what" 💜💙✨️ • wanted to make a quick comic of something donnie struggles with in his arc but won't be touching on too much for too long. even after he accepted that leo is his twin, he was still skeptical and wanted a logical reasoning to it. in the end, he never really needed it. he's just happy that it's leo who's his twin 😄

also a small update on LM stuff!!! i will be trying to make more illustrations for a bit 👀 • ( 🌿 please do NOT repost, edit, trace, use, and/or sell 🌿 )

I hope this kills you and makes your day at the exact same time. I'm winging this btw and it's all improv in mah brain so it might be longer than expected, idfk, we'll see.

Thanks so much for existing and giving us this comic in the first place now suffer-

-{###}-

Leo watched as Donnie continued talking, his movements exaggerated and his words ecstatic. The holograhic screen lit up every surface within a 2-foot radius, the words big and bright against the darkened atmosphere. Beside himself, Mikey and Raph shivered on each side, looking anywhere but at Donnie's face. And even though Leo understood why they couldn't bare to look their brother in the eye right now, something deep inside of him still burned with annoyance. Because despite everything, it was still Donnie! They just couldn't see it yet!

Not like Leo could see very well past the hard, stable shell that his twin had built around himself. Not like he could tell how Donnie was really feeling. Not like his tireless efforts to reach out and help did anything noteworthy.

All it got him was...

"...Oh! And how could I forget the infirmary machinery as well!" Donnie continued, his voice raised in a professional manner that would make anyone else think he was just giving a regular presentation. "The infirmary duties will obviously be passed onto you, Leo, since aside from Casey, you're the most medically knowledgeable. Plus, I know you won't disappoint."

Of course, Leo wasn't anyone else. He could hear the manic cry for life and freedom and pain in his twin's voice, no matter how quiet. It was there, faint and far away, somewhere that not even Donnie could find it, but it was still there and it needed answering.

Donnie just kept refusing to look in the right direction.

---

It was well after midnight when Donnie pulled Leo aside for a chat about the affairs of taking on three positions at once. The leader of the resistance could barely piece together what Donnie was saying though, his words muffled by the bigger picture.

In the dead of night, as expected, Donnie's demeanor took a complete 180 shift, his expression barely masking the exhaustion and weakness he undoubtedly felt. His eyes were half-lidded and cloudy, a look that Leo's only ever seen thrice in those yellow and red irises. His shoulders, despite getting bonier and bonier by the day, were slouched in a lazy way that made the soft-shell look like a corpse. The purple hoodie he so much adored nearly reached his knees, the lost fat and muscle making the article of clothing seem bigger than it actually was.

But one of the worst aspects about Donnie's appearance didn't have anything to do with any signs of death or sickness. No... The thing that made Leo really want to throw up...?

Donatello was now shorter than Leonardo.

"C-come on, Donnie... Why would I need to learn any of this... Nerd... Stuff, if I already have you?"

A stupid question. Idiotic, dumb, foolish, stupid, demeaning, disgusting, stupid, gross, stupid stupid stupidstupidstupidstupid-

"Riiiiiight... Anyway, you'll need to remove that panel right there to get to the inner-workings of..."

But even though it was a stupid question, Donnie would've usually gone out of his way to answer it.

Why wouldn't he answer?

---

Two weeks.

It had only been two weeks.

But it felt like a lifetime.

Donnie wasn't dead yet, thank whatever god that's still out there that he wasn't, but Leo still felt like he was. Donnie was literally just there, he was just right in front of him, talking about the schematics of something or other, running his mouth like he's been doing for the past few days. Nothing truly notable about Donnie's health had really changed, no weakening brain cells or crippling disabilities. The only things that had changed were Donnie's height again and his now inability to walk.

His inability to walk. Just two weeks ago he was bouncing off the walls and biting people's noses off.

However, despite all of the physical evidence that Donnie was very clearly still here and alive, Leo couldn't help but feel like a part of him was gone. Dead, deceased, whisked away by the winds of time... It was hard to explain, even for him, how something inside of him just kind of... Faded away.

The Death, as Leo pessimistically liked to call it, was a slow and agonizing process, beginning all the way back when Donnie first revealed his worsening condition and then continuing on until now. It began with just a little click, a little pinprick of emptiness and loss and HURT that Leo didn't know how to fix. Then that pinprick slowly grew into a scab, then a paper cut, then a scratch, then a hole, and then finally evolved to a gaping wound that would take years to fix. It was just this... This agonizing feeling of emptiness and loneliness that Leo hadn't even felt when Raph first died. (Haha, funny. He's already died twice by now. Hilarious.) And no matter how hard Leo tried to heal it with potions and bandages and medicine and melatonin, it never went away.

Not even when Donnie stood directly in front of him.

And isn't that just hilarious? Isn't that great? Isn't that just Splendid? Isn't that just the coolest Revelation That LEO'S EVER FELT?? ISN'T THAT SO INTERESTING????

Isn't it funny?

---

Leo watched as Donnie continued talking, his movements exaggerated and his words ecstatic.

He watched the ghost wave goodbye with a dramatic flair and a little giddiness in his step, the small soft-shell turtle barely able to show his hand from inside the giant sleeve of his favorite hoodie.

Leonardo waved back, a sad, forced smile and a train track of dried tears gracing his face.

Red enveloped Leo's vision one final time, and soon enough...

The half of himself that somehow still remained...

Faded away.

Are Donnie and Leo aware that they are twins? Did Draxum know their twins? Do they Decide later?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!????!!!

....

I'm super excited for Cassandra's appearance, the trio having a human ally could really help them understand Donnie's relationship with April (also, big sisters are fabulous)

Okay so for this I first wanna explain my headcanons for the whole twin situation in the show before I explain how it works in the AU

So the way I always imagined it, Splinter was able to figure out that Raph's the oldest, Mikey's the youngest and Leo + Donnie are the middle kids based on in which order they hit certain developmental milestones growing up. But becuase Leo and Donnie are much closer in age it compared to their brothers, it made it basically impossible to tell which one of the two was older. It's Leo btw, but Splinter would have no way of knowing that, and because of that he just decided to treat them like twins.

But you know who would know their actual ages? Draxum. Which means that in the Seperated AU everyone would already know that Leo's slightly older than Donnie cuz Draxum could just... y'know, tell them. And considering that, as well as how I tend to imagine the twin-thing would happen in the show's setting, there doesn't seem to be a very likely possibility that Leo and Donnie would even start viewing each other twins in the AU...?

Wait, wtf, I don't like that at all! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

I dunno, it might happen! Like, uh, I've already established Leo is the Draxum Brother who Donnie befriends first, so they'd have a pretty unique bond. And in the show's setting they would know, logically, that they aren't actually twins, but are rather perfoming the whole twin-relationship because they want. And they both look and act pretty similar. And I'd fully imagine Donnie insisting that Draxum somehow got the ages wrong cuz there's NO WAY someone as childish and stupid as 'Nardo could possibly be older than someone are mature and wise as Donatello!

Point is, they MIGHT still end up "becoming" twins in the AU!? Maybe!?

AND GOD CASEY!!

Omg I haven't even thought about the posibilites with Casey before you brought them up oooooooo my brain is braining!!

Listen, one of my biggest problems with Rise is that we never got the chance to get that classic Raph + Casey Bromance, and I just KNOW their dynamic in Rise would've been absolute peak! BUT NOW!! If the Draxum family starts to work with The Foot, and Raph meets Casey! I've been so focused on Donnie and April being the catalyst for the Drax Trio's redemption arc, but what if one of the major factors for Raph changing his view on humanity is him meeting and befriending Casey????? 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Man, I'm almost done with the Leo Brooding In A Pizzeria-arc, and THEN it's time for Raph aaghhhghg I've got IDEAS now thank youuuu!!!!!

been busy with work and school, but yet ofc i still find time to draw the boys! this time as a human AU!

(btw, i wasnt sure which background color to go with, did i choose the right one?)

a little more info on the deisgns!;

Donnie;

• dreads or die, both for sensory reasons and because thats just very him

• eyes match with his twin (leo) and they both have vitiligo to represent their markings!

• his shell is now just a backpack, both for storage and his extra ams

• eyebrow slit

• utility belt!

• jacket around the waist! personally thats a big sensory comfort for myself, but also in case he every needs an emergency sweater (there wasnt room in the bag)

Leo;

• matching eyes with donnie, vitiligo for markings

• this boy dyes his hair blonde and you cannot convice me otherwise. its also naturally straighter and silkier and his brothers, and he takes great care and pride (ha) of it

• hes the most mixed race!

• red eyeliner!

• ear piercings and black nail polish (hes gay)

• his belt has a medbag

• his shirt has his shell markings!

Mikey;

• he couldnt sit through getting his hair done, so he ties is with a bandana and prayers

• paint everywhere, apron and a digital artist glove!

• his nailpolish is the color of his brothers, as well as a greenish-yellow for April

• his markings are freckles, though they're also on the larger side

Raph;

• he has box braids! this is to keep his hair back and out of the way for fights

• his chest piece is based on his shirt from the turtle tots episode

• scar on eye from the krang, arms wrapped because hes a brawler

• gold eyebrow piercing

• his armour is based on a turtle still, giving him his sharp edges in his frame as well

• he seems the type to peace sign icorre- *ahem*, with a thumb

also, all of their pupils reflect their shape theory! (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle).

now.. should i draw human!leo holding this photo in the prison dimension? (ignoring raphs post-movie scar..)

Hey, in TD Leo is a trans man right?

And considering the fact that the mad dos refer to him as their brother that mean he came out before he disappeared...

So two questions: 1. When did he came out to his family,(will you do a mini comic?🥺🥺🙏🙏)

2. What was his "birth" name (Venus?😋)

Btw I absolutely love your art, comics and the fact that you make doodles for even the smallest questions, so thank you💕💕

Yep! Leo in Tentative Devotee is transmasc! (maybe not fully a binary man, but uses the term man still)

1. There will actually be a very brief section in a main comic part for a later story! We're not close to the part where I want to bring it up yet, but for now, a very abridged version of how it went:

Leonardo came out to Donnie first in mid 2012, over a year before he went missing. By the twins' birthday, he was out to everyone.

And yes, Leo's deadname is 'Venus' in this AU! The 'Leo was once Venus' headcanon lives rent free in my brain.

(Also, thank you sm!!! I really love making art for this AU and it's generally hecking fun!! I'm glad you like my stuff!)

what would happen if kid Leo actually remembered something Donnie and him used to like doing, (such as a fav game or something), and decided to play it with “imposter” donnie? (Btw is he still investigating?)

I'm not sure if you mean remembering things they did as tots or as teens, but I'm gonna say tots since he can't remember anything from being a teenager (blah blah blah time travel blah blah).

Now that he trusts this Donnie a lot more, he'd probably be down to do some twin activities together! He could definitely coax Donnie into playing minecraft or smthn with him and Donnie misses his twin so ofc he's gonna agree.

While he is no longer investigating, he is definitely still separating HIS brothers from the brothers he's currently with in his mind. Like yes, he understands they're just grown up versions of his bros, but in his mind he can't fully see them as HIS bros, if that makes sense.

I beg of thee-

Spare King Boo Donnie lore-

Please my lord, we are dying without him-

I’m so sorry my child

I actually don’t know much of the King Boo Donnie lore (we call him King Don for short btw :3c) because he doesn’t belong to me!! A lot of people think that I created King Don but he’s actually from @gal-with-pastels’s four kings au!

I’ll tell you what I do know, though :]

Don is one of the four kings from the Mario games. King Boo, Bowser (King Koopa), King Bob-omb, aaaaannnnnnddd we’re still tryna find a king for Leo but for now he’s just another rendition of King Boo 😭 (our excuse? Twin stuff ig💫)

Originally, the boys were all gonna be King Boo but I suggested we switch it up bc Bowser!Raph was in my brain and it had to get on paper 💀

While King Don was made and designed by Gal-with-pastels, I got the privilege of designing the other 3 :] they’re only concept/beta designs so ofc they can change but here’s what I had in mind!

BOWSER RAPPHHHHHHHHH

Ok so imo I feel like there needs to be a few changes but I can do that in the final ofc. I kinda do like Mikey’s design but ofc, it might change too :D (I know the art quality is super bad, I just sketched randomly 😭)

There isn’t anything for Leo just yet because I’m still trying to decide what king he could be other than King Boo again (if you guys have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!! 💛💛)

Aaaanyyyywizzle that’s about all I know 😭 I plan to brainstorm some more, so I’ll let you all know what I come up with! Hope this was enough to feed you, little one 🙏 Love you all so much! See you next time ^^

P.S. have a Boo-ified Niyah for your troubles 💛💫🌼

HII!! I gone I'm this right but I've been going through a bit of a agere block, so I wanted to ask for maybe a fic (or hcs idm) of like.. rottmnt Leo struggling to regress because of his agere block but soon he's able to with his brothers help? I use Leo because he's a such kin of mine so 😭

Normally I'd regress around 5 or 6 years old, but you can do whichever!!

I rlly hope this is alright cuz I don't normally request but I'm hoping if I project onto my kin then it can help/hj

I love ur stuff btw and I hope u have a good day/night ♡

Ofc I can help you friend!! I love Leo, he’s such a fun little guy, personally massive Donnie Kin and I’m so glad you like my stuff!! I hope you can regress soon little one! My page is always open if you want to talk!!

Leo Struggling with Regression Headcanons!

🦕When Leo regresses he regresses to more of a toddler so I’d say 4-6 so he’s a talker and god he runs his damn mouth

🦕He’d most likely feel bad about wanting to regress and take time for himself after a mission goes wrong

🦕He’d not want to burden his brothers with taking care of him while they’re all still recovering from injuries and hardships

🦕But once his brothers caught onto this they were Not having this, not with a capital N

🦕The three of them started speaking softer around Leo

🦕I think Donnie would be the first to notice this, considering the fact that they’re our favourite disaster twins, he’d be the one to bring it up to his brothers

🦕Leo, initially, wouldn’t notice what his brothers were doing and he wouldn’t understand why he suddenly felt so calm and relaxed

🦕He also probably wouldn’t understand why he was all of a sudden allowed to be the first one to pick the tv and sit closest to the screen but hey, he wasn’t complaining. He got to watch Jupiter Jim whenever he wanted!

🦕But one day it’d hit him when Raph handed him something to drink and used one of his little nicknames

“There you go little guy, drink up” Raph said as he handed the cup of juice to his brother

🦕Leo would soon realise what his brothers were trying to do, he’d realise why Donnie had begrudgingly let him hug him a little too tight and why Mikey was inviting him to do arts and crafts so often and why Raph had called him ‘Little Guy’

🦕He wasn’t mad of course, he was honestly a little flattered, they cared so much that they were trying to help him regress

🦕It took a few days of his brothers gentle coercion but eventually Leo’s loud nothing greeting turned into a silent sit at the couch and flip cartoons on.

🦕He’d be babbling to his brothers about what was going on in his shows, pulling out the blue pacifier from his mouth every time he’d want to talk but if he kept running his mouth Donnie would slowly slide the paci back into his mouth until he got the hint

🦕But overall, Leo’s brothers would be so sweet if he started struggling to regress. They’d do everything in their power to help their brother feel better and relax

🦕We all want a family like the Hamato’s :)

With what we've seen from the show with Splinters canonic dysmorphia, and also the hints that Raph probably raised the boys more than Splinter did, and see how much stress Raph carries, How Donnie and Leo want more attention and praise (Donnie from a parent aged adult, Leo I think in general) and Mikey craves familial closeness (no hate on him he was clearly going through some shit with depression and being turned into a rat but still!), so does that mean, in your Separated AU, that Leo had to practically raise himself with a practically absent father?

Love your drawings btw.

Oops.

Aha,,,, yeah. (.‿.);; A father in distress, no Big Brother to help parent, no Little Brother too cook, no Twin Brother to make sure they have comfort,,,

I really did start this au so I could put a twist on the whole separated thing, but uhhhh…. Yeah. I really unintentionally screwed Leo over….. 😅😅

#Leo knew he had brothers and spent his whole life searching for them #my intention was that it’d make him more like other Leo’s. like. serious. and singleminded.#but I think finding out his brothers all had happy healthy childhoods would break him pretty quickly. :(#in the same vain. when they all find each other and it’s clear Leo had the worst childhood THAT fucks splinter UP #ooh u thought he was having a rough time before? imagine finding out your 3 arch nemeses were all better parents than you. 🥲#parent trap au #my art #tmnt art #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise leo

May i request rottmnt of little sister reader who gives her brothers things she knows they wished to had.

Like she knows mikey wanted that famous rare cooking book that got sold out years ago and she comes up to him saying " hey mikey, close your eyes and give me your hands, i swear it's not a prank! " and when she gives him he gets so shocked he almost cry and scream at the same time.

She do the same with her 3 older brothers because she loves going so far to make them happy.

( in case you couldn't find a thing that may make the brothers so happy may i suggest; a poster of leo with lou outfit back when he was fighting in BNC, for Donnie a rare computer chip, and for raph she sew a ghost bear - she hates him btw - teddy bear big size for raph).

If this request is too much then please ignore it.

Gifting the Boys Presents

RotTMNT + gn!reader

Warnings: fluff, swearing

A/N: I had a better idea for Donnie :] Requests are closing on the 20th, get your requests in before then!

Previous | Next

Donnie & Leo (cause twins)

The twins' birthdays were coming up.

You were so worried about what to get them, especially Donnie

Donnie was hard to shop for

So... You went to Draxum to see if he could help you get what you needed for the purple turtle

You had managed to snag Leo's, it was a custom order

Draxum managed to get you what you needed for Donnie too

Now all that was left was to wrap them

"Happy birthday to yoooooooooouuuuu!"

The twins blew out the candles on their cake

Leo wrapped his arm around Donnie, a bright smile on his face

The cake was amazing, like always

"Time for presents!"

The 2 other boys gave them their gifts, birthday boys showing their appreciation

"Alright, Bee, it's your turn!"

You hand Leo his present first, placing it gently in his hands

"Oh my god..."

Leo unrolls the poster, showing him beating the Battle Nexus in his Lou Jitsu outfit

"Wow, Bee... I... I don't have the words..."

You dropped Donnie's in his lap, he winced

"What the hell..."

He unwrapped it, leaving a thick box with Uranium inside

"I had to ask Draxum for help, but I managed to get you 7 kilograms... I know it's not much..." I learned that 7kg of Uranium weighs 16lbs....

"This was more than I wanted! Thank you."

Leo and Donnie hug you so tight, you almost can't breathe.

Mikey

You finally found it

Chef Rupert Swaggert's cookbook

Mikey had been wanting it for years, but never managed to get his hands on it

Plus, the one you found was signed!

Yes, Meatsweats was a villain who had tried to eat your brothers, but it was still something Mikey wanted

Afterall he was a huge Condescending Kitchen fan

"Hey, Mike? I have a present for you."

"What? It's not even my birthday."

"I know... I just found this and it made me think of you."

Mikey comes over and you hand him your hurriedly wrapped present

"Oh MI GOSH! YOU FOUND THE LIMITED EDITION RUPER SWAGGER COOKBOOK!?"

"Oh, there's something even better."

"What could possibly be better than this?"

You flip the cover open, showing Mikey Rupert Swaggert's signature

"Thank you so much! I-I don't really even know how to thank you!"

He picks you up, squeezing you

When he sets you back down, you see tears in his eyes

At least they're happy tears

Raph

You knew you weren't supposed to be top-side, but Raph was upset and you wanted to help

You wanted to cheer your eldest brother up

Maybe you could grab his favorite pizza or maybe get him a cool new bear

You passed by a thrift store when you saw it

A Ghostbear teddy that had sold out long before you were born

Yes... You hated Ghostbear, but this was the perfect thing to cheer Raph up

You went in and bought it before racing back home

"Raph! Close your eyes and hold your hands out."

"Dandy, I'm not in the mood."

"Please? It's not a prank, I promise."

Eventually he complies, he can't say no to you afterall

You set the stuffy in his giant palms

"Open."

He opened his eyes and stared at the toy

"Is... Is this the Ghostbear plushy that was sold out like... 15 years ago?"

"Yeah. I found it, I thought it would cheer you up."

Raph pulled you into his lap, tears in his eyes

"Thank you. I really needed this."

The rest of the night, you 2 sat comfortably, Raph's chin resting on your head

He told you stories about your brothers before you came around

i love cass's apocalypse series so much and it has brought so much joy to me but with this latest arc (which I also love, don't get me wrong) it's like.

idk, my dashboard is just filled with art and writing about it and how sad and horrible it is to watch someone you love die. and about how sad and horrible it is that leo is gonna lose his twin brother. and like. it's so cool that it's inspired so many people (and I'm one of them, for the record, I've made art about it too!) and everything but now I'm just sitting here THINKING about it like.

.... yeah. it was really sad and horrible to watch my dad die. he was in hospice for over a year. and he was sick for a lot longer than that, back before he was rejected for a lung transplant, and when we still thought he would get better.

and it was really sad and horrible when my twin brother died, too. i just had my first birthday without him earlier this month and it sucked. it'll be one year officially since we lost him on may 11th and I'm sooo not ready for it.

and i do trust cass that there will be a happy ending and everything. but there's sadly no one storyboarding my reality so. that's not really true anywhere else.

and the WORST PART!!! is i can't even go talk to people about this!! which is the only reason I'm here in the first place lmao. coz like. what am i supposed to do like? "hey in order for you to understand why I'm upset right now I'm gonna have to explain the extended tmnt universe, the plot of the movie, and also can you read these fan comics for me?" like!!! FUCK!!!!! but then cass just posted the last page >:( (it's beautiful btw they did gr8) and I straight up curled up and sobbed for like. a good five minutes. coz. like. fuck!!! it just!!! I'm sad!!!! I'm sad donnie is dead and that his family will suffer for it but.

fuck. at least he was surrounded by his family when he went.

i wasn't there when my daddy died.

my brother died alone.

and neither of them are coming back.

and that's, like. so cowabummer, dude.

#vent #personal #im just sad right now and i don't have anywhere to put it #cw grief #cw death #im sad about turtles and i dont know what to do about it right now #like frfr #>:(#this is stupid actually

37 with the disaster twins!!!

Do Your Worst

Summary: Donnie has taken a page out of Leo's book.

Author's note: Thank you for the prompt, anon! I will never ever ever get sick of the disaster twins :) (btw if you saw me post this before I changed its ridiculous name, no you didn't)

Warnings: Just tickling, so please keep scrolling if you ain't about that.

Word count: 1,177

37. "I didn’t hear a 'stop'..."

Donnie had been like this the whole day. From the minute he left his room, he was jabbing his brothers with cutting burns and sharing not-so-humble brags about anything he could. One might say that he woke up on the right side of the bed today.

But Leo would call it a blatant display of mockery. The way Donnie rested his arm on Leo's shoulder, knocking his breakfast out of his hand and onto the floor. Or the way he deliberately seemed to push Leo's buttons. Ultimately, it was the one-liners that solidified in Leo's mind that his twin was making fun of him.

"Can you guys believe him?" Leo said to no one in particular. He dropped down into the blue beanbag chair in the TV room, opening his comic book with an annoyed snap.

"He seems to be in a good mood," Raph said, "If you ask me, I think you might be rubbing off on him."

"But I'm nowhere near as annoying, right?!"

Silence filled the room, followed by Raph's not-so-subtly-awkward whistling.

"Riiight," Mikey said slowly, standing from his seat and stretching. Before Leo could complain further, he added, "Raph and I are going to pick up pizza, wanna come?"

Leo stubbornly pulled the comic closer to his face and huffed. "No, apparently everyone thinks I'm annoying," he said dejectedly, "Just don't take too long. He's one insult away from being portaled to a different galaxy."

Mikey and Raph bid him farewell and headed for the surface, leaving Leo in his bubble of peace. Water rushed below the floor grate, bringing a constant, calming sound that lulled him into precious relaxation. Not long after he finally settled in, the comic book was snatched out of his fingers with a swish. Leo fixed Donnie with a glare that read one word: murder.

"What is your deal today, weirdo?" Leo asked, ripping the comic book out of Donnie's hands. He opened it back up to the page he had been reading, but still gave his twin a quizzical look.

Donnie smirked at Leo's annoyed expression. "Whatever could you be talking about?"

"What are you trying to do? Give me a taste of my own medicine?"

Donnie smirked, knowing he was totally getting on Leo's nerves now. "My dear, dull brother, I have no idea what you are alluding to."

"You're acting weird. And I don't know what you're trying to prove, but I'm nowhere near this annoying," Leo said indignantly, crossing his arms.

"Oho Nardo, you wouldn't last a single day as your own brother," Donnie said while delivering a well-placed flick to Leo's forehead, right above his left eye. The final straw.

He launched himself at Donnie, tackling him onto the ground. The battle for the upper hand was short-lived, and Donnie was pinned beneath his twin in seconds. Of course, it didn't help that a steady stream of giggles was already tumbling past Donnie's lips, sapping his strength.

Leo paused; Donnie's hands were now pinned on either side of the brainiac's head. "What's so funny?"

"N-Nothing," Donnie lied quickly, trying and failing to cage the bubbly laughter. However, it didn't go unnoticed that his haughty, bothersome façade disappeared as soon as he hit the ground.

Leo flipped Donnie's goggles down and got off of him, returning to his seat on the beanbag chair. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Donnie sit up slowly, eyes downcast. He almost looked... disappointed?

"That's the worst you got?" he asked, fixing his goggles.

Leo connected the dots and it was so obvious now, he couldn't believe he didn't catch on sooner. Donnie's behavior was a tried-and-true method that Leo himself used to antagonize his brothers. It always ended in the same desired outcome whenever Leo did it. Of course, how could he miss all of the signs?

Almost as quickly as he sat down, he was up again, looming over his brother with a smirk. "DonTon, I think you and I both know I can do far worse."

The genius shrank away from Leo with a nervous grin etched across his face. Though he knew he was already in for it, he couldn't help but dig the hole just a tiny bit deeper. "That's true, you always do the worst, dum dum. At everything."

Leo shoved him back down and pinned his arms again, much more easily gathering both wrists in one hand this time. Donnie's anticipatory giggles filled the room as he weakly pulled at his trapped wrists.

"Prepare to, what was it? Oh, eateth my words or whatever!" Leo raised one hand, wiggling his fingers in front of Donnie's face before bringing it close to the giggly twin's exposed underarm. What little resolve Donnie had went out the window as laughter burst forth almost immediately. Squeezing his eyes shut, he braced himself for the exact thing he had been after all day.

He wasn't prepared for Leo's hand to touchdown on his plastron and, though it wasn't a particularly bad spot, the unexpected attack made his laughter shoot up an octave.

"What's wrong, Don?" Leo asked, spidering his fingers up Donnie's side with one hand, the other hand reaching back to squeeze his thigh.

"I-Ihihihit—AHAHA!"

"It what?"

"Shuhuhut—"

"Does it tickle?"

"LEOHOHO!"

"Just tell me what's wrong and I'll help!" Before his brother could respond, Leo shoved his hands under Donnie's arms. Peals of hysterical laughter filled the air, so loud that Leo almost didn't believe it could belong to his usually reserved brother.

Though his arms were free now, Donnie could only weakly grab Leo's arms, not hindering or helping in any way. The electric, tickly sensations piloted his brain, shutting down all rational thought and coordination.

"PLEHEHEHEASE! I CAHAN'T—NAHAHARDOHO!" Donnie screamed, digging his heels into the ground. He succeeded in kneeing Leo in the shell a few times, but not hard enough to make a difference. The only thing his struggling did was fuel Leo's insufferable teasing.

"You 'can't' what? You can't stop me from tickling you? That's so true. You've practically been asking for this, Donnie."

Donnie was going to lose his mind, torn between how unbearable the sensation was and how much he didn't want it to stop. The final sliver of rational thought he had left was acutely aware that Leo was tickling him far longer than usual, which he was grateful for. In fact, he didn't feel Leo retract his hands until Donnie's laughter turned to a silent, open-mouthed smile.

"You okay?" Leo asked, laughing along with Donnie's residual giggles.

Donnie nodded and gulped in air, trying to keep an even tone as he spoke. "You... jerk. Don't do that ever again."

Leo chuckled and held up his hands in defense. "Hey, I didn’t hear a 'stop'..."

Donnie's face grew redder as he shut his mouth and landed a lackluster punch to Leo's arm, which only made Leo laugh harder.

Despite the apparent annoyance, Leo didn't miss the permanent grin pulling at Donnie's mouth. Oh yeah, he was never letting Donnie live this down.

From Roasting too Teasing

A/n: I'm sorry it's been sooo long I made comics but I give ya this I thought of that really early in the morning soo here it is.(btw idk if the roasts I made are roasts so apologies if I did something wrong)

Love: Plantonic this means no Lovley dovely love BFFR they are brothers. They should not date.

Characters: Lee Donnie Ler Leo

Summary: Leo and Donnie have a roasting fight but it goes too far so Leo decides to switch the sides for his brother.

Warnings: tickle Fluff, Maybe some agnst?? ( I still don't get the Agnst thing is it if somebody has a traumatic experience or is it when something negative happens in the story)

It was dinner time, Leo and Donnie stopped eating as they were arguing about pineapple on pizza.

💙:Don come onnn, pineapple on pizza is good!!

💜:Pfft maybe for your dumb dumb brain, no wonder you're taste nerves are crashed up, cuz ya brain is too dumb to even think about how does it taste.

💙: Did YOU just roast ME?!

💜:Yep, did ya hear that or are you deaf brother?

💙:OH it's ONN, yep I did hear that I am not deaf, but I am defenetly not blind cuz I can see you're forehead of yours is really big brother.

💜:Yeah, Like your bad puns.

💙:*Gasp* HOW DARE YOU, YOUR BRAIN IS AS BAD AS THE PUN'S BROTHER!!

💜:Well I atleast have a smart brain unlike your's

💙:AT LEAST I HAVE A COOL MYSTIC WEAPON WHILE YOU HAVE YOUR DUMB TECH!!

There was silence in the room, Leo took the dumb thing personally but knew it was a joke, on the other hand Donnie did took that tech thing personally. Donnie was speechless and just looked at his brother as his eyes started to get glossy from the tears that have been rushing into his eyes.

💙:Donnie- I-

💜:Save it.

Donnie said before he went to his room and blocked his door so nobody whould come in, he was angry and upset, he lied down on his bed and scrolled through tiktok but the thing is that he had mostly tiktoks about tech so that didn't help much, Leo on the other hand felt the guilt run through his mind as he whanted to apologize but knew it wouldn't be easy, so he decided to switch the roasting battle to something the opposite of roasting, teasing, and not teasing to annoy, (but- well ya will see what I mean later).

Leo took his magic sword and teleported to Donnies room, he saw him on the bed as a tear rolled down from Donnies eyes as he scrolled down his tiktok fyp, when he saw Leo, he got annoyed and just tried to ignore him.

💙:D...im sorry I got carried away, your tech isn't dumb, it's original and it's amizing, I loved every single tech of yours you ever made.

💜:Didint ya say mine tech was?-

💙:Dumb?

💜:yeah...

💙:D I'm sorry I never whanted to make you upset, but ik just the way to help you~

💜:OH yeah? What is it?

Leo pulls Donnie into a hug, Donnie gets annoyed but hugs him back, but then Donnie could feel something slightly and softley tickling his plastron.

💜:WhA- LEHEHEOO nHO-

💙:What? Oh whait a second- oh wow! Your laughter is soo cool and amizing!! Just like your tech!!

💜:NardHOHO- NHOO-

💙:Just telling the truth~ anyways your tactics when you make a weapon are soo COOL! Just like when your tactics of running away...ya know?~

Leo was starting to tickle Donnie more as Donnie tried to get out of his grip.

💜:NAHAHARDHOHO NHOHO-

💙:Wooow why r ya squirming around? Heh ya look like those silverfish! Whait- oh that YOU defeated???

Donnie started blushing from the complements(in a brotherlyway NOT IN A ROMANTIC WAY) while Leo's mouth was rushing with the complements for like 5 minutes until he saw that Donnie had enough and he stopped tickling him, Donnie took as much breath as he could while Leo was just hugging him and still complementing him.

💜:Nardo- if ya say another complement i-

Donnie said with some left over giggles and a mischievous grin like he is planning something, he planed and he knew what he will do next and what his twin will do next.

💙:Your our amizing brother and we love you just the way you ar-

💜:Yeah that's it- ya whant to complement mine tech! Let's see them in action shall we brotha???

He said as he tapped something on his wrist bracelet screen (HELP IDK WHAT ITS CALLED ;-:) and from his bo-shell came out 2 robotic arms that Pinned Leo to the bed as Donnie smirked evilishly, Leo on the other hand gulped and knew what's coming.

Lets say the night was BUILDING WITH LAUGHTER (pun intended, cuz it's about his tech? Get it? Nvm-).
