tr boys when y/n has issues accepting that they actually do love her
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Tumblr media
Characters: Nahoya Kawata, Manjiro Sano, Kazutora Hanemiya
Warnings: Fluff, a bit of angst in Kazutoras part
A/n: Literally pulled out the biggest smile when I saw this request. Also, yes, Nahoya again. I just love writing for him. idk why (cuz he a crackhead)
P.s: Remember, it was said multiple times that Toman doesn't hurt women, sunshines. Don't think they'd break your precious hearts. They'd be just a bit hard to deal with <3
Tumblr media
—NAHOYA KAWATA
Okay, we've all seen that one best/worst boyfriend chart our friend Ken Wakui made.
Personally, I threw a fit when I saw who were the worst.
Then I thought about Nahoya. He seemed a bit like a fuck boy, you get what I mean? Yeah, no.
Then I thought about it again
I examined the post a bit more after I found it in English and read what Takemichi said. If Mikey and Kazutora would be the top worst because they're reckless, Nahoya would obviously be even tamer
So personally, I believe Nahoya is in the top three just because he has a carefree type of living way. Like, he isn't scared of fighting, killing, and all. I mean, he probably IS scared to kill but doesn't show it.
How's he a red flag again? I don't believe them.
But for one, he'd never cheat on you. He'll be loyal as hell. Maybe if he wasn't in a relationship in one of the time skips where it showed the top members he'd fuck around with chicks (straight hair grown up Nahoya gives me fuckboy energy), but since the change and he's now working with his brother In their ramen shop? Get that thing out of your head.
Because for him to get in a relationship, he must dearly love and respect you.
Keep in mind that he also has to trust you since, in one way, if you're not to be trusted and/or are somewhat dangerous, he's putting his brother in danger as well.
But that's besides the point.
He loves you.
It's painfully obvious
He protects you, he trusts you, he spoils you in his own ways
He loves you
Maybe it's past relationship trauma that causes you to think it's all a facade
Which brings us to today's scenario
You're in Nahoya's room since his brother is out all day and you didn't bother to fix yours
You were looking around his room while he was testing the new straightener you got him since his broke
Examining the objects around you, your eyes land on a frame right above his toman uniform. It was of you two
You wondered why he would frame such a picture on the wall over his gang uniform. You mostly didn't like it because you hated the way you came out in the picture
Getting off his bed, you walked over to the opposite wall and stared at the picture for a good minute
Nahoya noticed that from the reflection on the mirror in front of him, but his smile just grew a tad bit more and returned to straightening his hair
You pursed your lips together in thought and reached to grab it
"Oi!" He exclaimed with a giggle. "Hands off."
You flinched when he suddenly spoke and turned to him with a raised brow
"What? Why?"
"Because," He turned around to face you. "I know you'll throw the pic away."
You weren't going to lie. If you stared at it for a bit more, you would've made the paper rip itself. You hated how you came out!
"But I look horrible!"
"I know." He laughed, but it quickly died down to a chuckle when he saw you glaring at him. "I'm kidding, babe. You look hella cute!"
You quickly turned around to hide the blush that appeared on your face. Crossing your arms, you were still staring at the picture
Being too caught in the act, you didn't realize when Nahoya finally finished straightening his hair and came up to you. He loosely wrapped his arms around your waist and rested his chin on your shoulder, mockingly copying your slightly frustrated face
You noticed that and rolled your eyes with a soft groan, which earned you some snickering from him. He pressed a kiss to your cheek before nuzzling his own to yours
"Why did you frame this?"
"Because it's special."
"How is it special?" Your voice grew confused. It's just a picture, nothing much
"Reminds me of the main reason I never give up."
Your blood went cold. What?
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're my main priority, babe. You, your safety, your smile." He chuckled at how cheesy he sounded. "That's why I framed us right over my gang uniform. Every time I have to change for a brawl or even just a meeting, I'm reminded of the smile that will greet me in the end and will always be there."
That didn't sound like Nahoya. For a moment, you even thought if that wasn't just some doppelganger
Until he smacked your ass
Yeah that's him
He loves you, and without realizing it, he just made all your problems fade away
Looking at the picture now, maybe, just maybe, it isn't as bad as you thought it was.
+ Your little twin girls found the picture in some box while playing and made fun of how you both looked. It was never to be seen again. It was under your mattress
Tumblr media
— KAZUTORA HANEMIYA
So. Second worst boyfriend on the list.
Let's be honest, if your love language is quality time this won't work
Not that he won't want to spend time with you, but Juvenile? Sorry baby, they stole him from you
Kazutora loves you so much. He'd kill for you, and he'll die for you. No questions asked. He once even tried to break out from Juvenile because he couldn't take being far away from you anymore.
You visit him every day for as long as you can, bringing him gifts, telling stories, saying how much you miss him
But sometimes you wondered, does he love you?
"Baby!" A happy Kazutora exclaimed when you finally entered the meeting room and waited for you with a happy smile to sit down, on the opposite side of him, thick glass keeping you both separate.
"Hey, baby." You chuckled, adjusting in your seat.
It wasn't a lie how excited he was every day to see you. Sometimes, like today, he'd make you small diy gifts and show them off to you, explaining every minor detail from the inspiration, materials, hidden message, time taken, everything
And you kept them all on a special separate shelf in your room
"So that's my gift for you today! Do you like it?"
"I love it, 'Tora."
It was a small origami rose, which was actually very well made, considering he had to use his imagination
You both talk for a few moments before the chattering died down. You knew what that meant and quickly wiped the already falling tears
You hated this
You hated how close yet how far he was from you
You just wanted to break the damn glass and embrace him, never letting go
And he damn well knows he wants it too
But he can't, and neither can you
He was recently taken in, 3 years ago
Which means he'll be out in 7 years
Which felt like a lifetime for both of you
His biggest fear was you'd find someone new and leave him
Which he wouldn't even be mad about, considering he just ruined both your lives
But you stay consistent, you visit every single day, and even if you don't manage to, you always send him gifts and make up for it when you see each other.
But people's patience runs out at some point, and that point is today
You never meant to say this
You never meant to question his love for you because you both knew it was there and growing every passing day
So why did you ask? Was it the loneliness you felt every time you stepped out of the room and he wasn't there by your side? Was it the thrust to just be able to hold his hand? Was it the pain you felt every night where, instead of saying goodnight to him, you turned to a frame with a photo of him and said it to it?
You didn't know. He didn't know
The only thing you remember after that was the sound of glass shattering, alarms going off, and Kazutora hugging onto you as if it was your last minute on Earth.
You just cling to him, never wanting to let go again
You felt the tears fall when he kissed you, feeling all his love attack you in that one moment before the guards arrived and took him away
Your little moment lasted around 10 seconds, probably even less, but it felt like eternity to both of you
Visits were banned for a week until they changed the glass into an even more thick and unbreakable one
You dashed to the building the second they opened visiting hours again
And to be fair, even if that cost him 4 more months in juvenile, it was worth it when you finally managed to continue with your lives after his sentence
+ Your younger son thought it was funny while your older daughter cried her eyes out. I think you have 3 kids instead of two.
Tumblr media
— MANJIRO SANO
Ah, yes. Our favorite dark impulse.
Listen, Mikey has to have FULL trust in you to even think about dating you. We're talking about Draken type of trust, if possible even more.
If Mikey falls for you, he will hit like fucking bedrock
If you don't reciprocate his feelings, he'd be hurt, but if you do, you're stuck for life
Mikey loves hard, and it's been proven so many times
It's the same as Kazutora. He'd kill for you.
Don't make him prove it. Just don't. You know, he knows, and everybody knows Mikey will do anything for you
So why ever question it?
You loved Manjiro, and he loved you. It was way too obvious to the point Emma already planned your whole future together
You knew that, but you always had this 'what it' thought in the back of your head, messing with you and you hated it
It was a normal afternoon. You were out with Mikey, just roaming around the city, eating at restaurants where they don't have flags so you brought your home-made ones, and spending way too much money on things you don't need
It was fun and all, just spending time together until he got a message from Draken which quickly brought him to his senses
He didn't want to leave you, but he had, so with a quick kiss on the lips he was off
You waved him goodbye with a smile and called up Emma and the girl just magically teleported to you in 10 minutes
She just loves you too much
Probably fought with Mikey for your hand at some point
You were having a blast with her until you both finally settled down at a café and talked about, just, anything and everything
You decided to share your thought with Emma and she quickly jumped, reassuring you that Mikey loved you with all his hesrt
She started showing you messages he's sent her about how he felt, what to get you and all sorts of things
But our beautiful Emma had her own 'what if' thought and when Mikey got home she instantly jumped on him
It was like, 1am when you heard his bike's engine roaring from outside your window. You got up and were met with a smiling Mikey and no more sleep for tonight
"Wake up, sleepy head. We need to talk."
The moment you got down to him, you were already zooming through the streets of Tokyo, but not in a racer-fast manner, just enought so you aren't like slugs on the roads
"Emma told me that—"
"I'm sorry, Mikey... I didn't mean to—"
"Please let me finish."
He talked for like, a whole ass hour. About everything that includes you both.
He brought you to tears ngl
His words just hit so deep that the thought immediately disappeared
Maybe it was he words of affirmation he used, the quality time he spend riding all night with you to ease your worries, the gift he gave you when you watched the sunrise and the fact you woke up in your bed later on with a small letter from him and a chibi drawing of both of you at the corner that kept a smile on your face till the end of you days
And you damn well know you lived one long ass life with Manjiro
And I'm kinda surprised to be honest
Not because you could've died while he was in Toman or anything, but because your kid is 3 times worse than Mikey.
+ Your son found his old gang uniform and wore it to school. The next teacher-parent conference was one hell of a trip.

warnings: mentioned sex in Bo's, mentioned weed and alcohol in Otis', canon backstories of the slashers
slashers: Michael (RZ), Vincent, Bo and Lester, Brahms, Thomas, Otis and Baby, Jason, Josef and Amanda.
Tumblr media
(𝕽𝖅) 𝕸𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖊𝖑 𝕸𝖞𝖊𝖗𝖘
Giving
Gift giving and acts of service describe Michael's style of loving you perfectly. He may not be the most talkative, physically affective partner, but he's protective and creative.
The protectiveness shows when he takes care of problems you have, no matter how small. The sink needs fixing? He's on it. You need help lifting something heavy? He's ready to flex those muscles. A person at work is annoying you? Just say the word and he'll take care of them.
The creativity becomes visible in the little gifts that get more individual the longer you know him. In the beginning, he gifted you nearly everything he could find: some candy, a dead mouse, sometimes pretty rocks. As time passes, he spends more time on them. Now you get carved bones, self-made masks, he even picks flowers now and then!
Receiving
Michael would never, ever ask for this, but I'm convinced he loves physical touch as a love language. It doesn't even have to be a big thing, Mikey already enjoys you stitching him up when he got hurt again. His personal heaven, though? You, laying on his chest while watching a hilariously bad horror movie and eating some take-out.
𝖁𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖗
Giving
Totally quality time. It would be gifts, but Vincent's gifts are rarer than you'd expect. Most of the time, he gets too insecure and critical of the gift (mostly a drawing or a sculpture) which stops him from ever giving it to you.
Instead, he makes sure you're comfortable and safe in Ambrose. Whatever you want to do, Vincent will do it with you. Even if you just want to spend the day in bed and cuddle, he's absolutely down. Sometimes he organizes little dates for the two of you, where you can spend some time away from his brothers and the Sinclair residence. Especially after he was too focused on the museum for a while, cute dates are his way of apologizing.
Receiving
100% words of affirmation. While Vincent's childhood was filled with (mostly toxic) compliments, he hasn't heard them in a long, long time. And his little artist ego misses them dearly. It doesn't matter if you praise his art, or anything else, he loves it. He wants to hear how much you love him, that you'd never leave him. He can't relax without some reassuring words. The only compliments, he's sensitive about are the ones about his face.
𝕭𝖔 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖗
Giving
With Bo, it's actually acts of service. Sure, he's physically expressive as well, always down to touch and caress you, but does he know how to show love through that? No.
He rather focuses on providing for you, mostly by earning a little money to get by. He also prides himself by being the go-to man for reparations around the house.
Receiving
Just like his twin, it's words of affirmation. Unlike Vincent, Bo never got any praise in his early years. He's never known the feeling of being complimented for anything else but his body or his ability to fuck someone. And he doesn't know how much he needs it until you show up. (Imagine him wanting nothing more than to make you proud, so he gets some praise. Shut up, I'm not crying.)
𝕷𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖗
Giving
Oh, Lester loves to give gifts. He's super into crafting and collecting stuff he finds to make something new out of it. Stuff like bone necklaces, animals carved out of wood or self-made jewelry. They're always so beautiful, and you're sure he spends hours making them.
Though, during busy times, he has to content with a small bouquet of wildflowers he got for you. You're always excited anyway, no matter the size of the gift.
Receiving
I strongly believe one of Lester's dreams is a wholesome, domestic lifestyle with a spouse he can come home to. So it's acts of service. He loves coming home to a warm and comfortable home with you waiting for him. And if you cook him a meal? He's in heaven.
However, he also adores physical touch. Nothing is more relaxing than laying on your lap with your fingers in his hair.
𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖍𝖒𝖘 𝕳𝖊𝖊𝖑𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖊
Giving
I think it's obvious that Brahms' love language is physical touch. He can not keep his hands off of you. And he doesn't care whether you're busy or not.
To cut him some slack, there's no slasher that knows how to be as comforting with touch as Brahms is. Plus, his hands are the softest.
Receiving
Who would've thought, it's still physical touch. In addition to that, words of affirmation. Brahms loves touching, and he loves being touched equally much. He also likes being praised, as we all know.
On a more serious note, Brahms needs your voice to ground himself pretty often. His entire life was filled with so many rules and restrictions, it's strange to be a free man suddenly. Praising him, complimenting him, reassuring him - it often saves him from spiraling into a melt-down when something goes wrong.
𝕿𝖍𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖘 𝕳𝖊𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖙
Giving
Tommy prides himself as the provider of his family (because he is). Therefor, his love language is acts of service. He sews for you, he fixes things for you, he threatens Hoyt when he once again crosses a line. Thomas would do anything for you, really. His biggest fear is to be without you, and so he works hard to eradicate any chance of that ever happening.
Receiving
Thomas is so touch starved, he adores physical touch. Ever since he was born, people were too afraid or too disgusted to touch him, to even get close to him. The only exception was Luda Mae. He used to think he would die without knowing any loving touch.
And then you came around, and you're so affective, so sweet to him. Tommy doesn't think he deserves you, but whenever you touch him, he melts anyway.
𝕺𝖙𝖎𝖘 𝕯𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖙𝖜𝖔𝖔𝖉
Giving
As surprising as it sounds, Otis' love language is giving gifts. Otis isn't good with words (don't get me wrong, he can hold speeches like a champ, but let's be honest, he'd rather bite his tongue off than say anything emotional), he's often rougher than he'd like, he's lazy and his past-time activities are... special. In his eyes, there's only one way to prove his adoration, and it's surprisingly well-chosen gifts.
Otis always seems to know what you're currently interested in or what you wanted for a while. When he hands you the gift, he brushes it off like it's nothing, even if you're getting super emotional, but you know he means well. (He steals them, by the way, I don't think he pays for anything ever.)
Receiving
Otis loves to spend time with you, so quality time. He's been alone for so long, it's refreshing to have someone beside him who actually enjoys his company. Sure, he has his family, but nothing compares to the presence of a significant other. He loves movie nights with the two of you, even better if they involve weed or alcohol.
𝕭𝖆𝖇𝖞 𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖋𝖑𝖞
Giving
Spending quality time with you is one of her favorite ways to show her affection. It's up to you what the two of you are doing. Baby's down for doing each other's makeup, she's also down for robbing a bank. You have a lot of options.
Receiving
Baby loooooves getting gifts. It doesn't matter how expensive or big they are. Anything you decide to give to her is being cherished. Be it a lipstick you bought or a drawing of her, Baby will never forget it. Gifts make her feel so wanted, so spoiled.
𝕵𝖔𝖘𝖊𝖋
Giving
Josef is very, very good with words, especially words of affirmation. It's kind of ironic, given how awkward he can be.
But really, he's praise as a person. Josef loves to compliment and worship you. No matter what you did, he has to make sure you know how much he adores and cherishes you and how wonderful you are.
Receiving
As seen in Creep 2, Josef needs someone to spend quality time with. Doesn't matter if you're going for a walk or just enjoying a bath together (we all know what scene I'm talking about), just being around you makes him happy.
Nevertheless, we also see him being extremely touch-starved. Josef is aching for some physical touch, and if you give it to him, he'll cherish the ground you walk on.
𝕵𝖆𝖘𝖔𝖓 𝖁𝖔𝖔𝖗𝖍𝖊𝖊𝖘
Giving
Jason is always proud to say he's a providing type of man. Acts of service are such an easy way for him to show his love. He hunts for the two of you, he cooks, he renovates, Jason is all about making your life as comfortable and easy-going as possible.
Receiving
Jason misses words of affirmation. Just tell him how strong and attractive he is, and the boy is blushing redder than anything you've ever seen before. Praise about his work (as in his cooking or certain fixes he made) make him swell with pride as well. He adores how tender your voice is when you talk with him.
𝕬𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖆 𝖄𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖌
Giving
In Amanda's eyes, making sure you're safe is her number one priority. She protects you, she gives you a comfortable life, free of any worries she could possibly get rid of. Her acts of service often contain getting rid of any evidence that traces you to her, but she loves the satisfaction of knowing that you're looked after.
Receiving
Amanda misses the simple sensation of having dinner with someone she loves, or watching a movie cuddled together. Spending quality time is very, very important to her, and she often neglects tasks she got from John, simply because she misses your company.

Since Leo is your fav what your opinion on the rest of the boys? If you don’t mind my asking I am just curious I been trying to find blogs that don’t act like Leo raph hate each other because they have differing opinions on stuff. They are siblings siblings be like that like ya know?
Hello! When it comes to 2k3 and Rise, I love all the turts very dearly. I just tend to fixate on my top blorbos, haha. I assume you're specifically asking about the 2k3 turtles, so I'll talk about them! When thinking about Leo and Raph's relationship, this extract from Leo's bio usually comes to my mind.
Tumblr media
(Transcription: While I often disagree with Raphael, he is my brother, and I enjoy the times that we spend goofing off. I just wish that he'd try to see things from some other perspective than his own (something he no doubt says about me as well!)) I think it was originally showcased on some official 2k3 tmnt website. You can read the whole thing here. I'm super fond of this bit, because I think it sums them up very well. It's just very down-to-earth and peaceful sentiment. Leo acknowledges that yes, Raph can frustrate him a lot, but he loves him and spending time with him anyway.
AND the "something he no doubt says about me as well!" Has kind of stuck with me since the first time I saw it. Leo's like; "Yeah, I get it. I can be a pain in the shell too." And I don't think he vocalizes this sentiment, in these kind of terms in the show.
The 1st season sets up a lot of Leo vs Raph rivalry, with Leo being the responsible one and Raph rebelling against that. They have the big clash in 2nd season City at War arc. In SAINW universe they're basically on "It's On Sight(however impaired)" -terms. The 2007 movie with it's Leo&Raph drama often bleeds into 2k3 fanworks. So I get where the fanon interpretation of them hating each other comes from. I just feel like it often gets blown out of proportion. Most of the time those two get along well and rely on each other.
And since you asked how I feel about the other turtles, I'll try to summarize here what I love about them, haha! I adore 2003 Raph, because he's so damn hilarious. The gruffiness, deadpan sass, feral troublemaking, the " oh for FUCK'S SAKE!!" -energy. He has this special flavor of being so done with everything, all the time. It's so funny. And then there's his calmer side. When he's mature and reliable, a fierce protector <3.
2003 Donnie is hands down my favorite Donnie ever. His gentle, soft-spoken nature, patience and kindness are so special. He's such a sweetheart! A silly boy! But he won't let you walk over him! He'll sass and shoot you with a lazergun!
I'm a huge fan of 2003 Mikey's portrayal. Because he's the classic fun-loving imp, who loves to cause trouble and goof around, but he's also very down-to-earth. He's really resilient, competent and mature when the situation calls for it. Despite his own dramatics and his brothers often teasing him, he feels trusted and respected.
Overall I appreciate how well written the turtles are in 2k3. They are very grounded, complex and multidimensional, with a lot of depth to them. And the way you get so many different dynamics with different brother combos, is endlessly fascinating.
Anyway's hope you enjoyed my ramblings. Thanks for the ask!

Hi!! Could I get some hcs of The 03 turtle boys with a gender neutral friend reader who’s a news reporter like older versions of April is, where the reader vaguely hints at oh I think Casey’s kinda cute so the turtles decide they gotta play wingman to their friends….!!
Thank you so dearly if you do end up writing some hcs for this scenario 💜
Okay I’m just gonna say, I love this and also I love that there are other people who like Casey LMAO (I love that giant ass himbo.)
Your Faithful Wingmen!
🖤🏒2003 Casey x Reader🥅💀
Tumblr media
Word Count: 895
CW: gender-neutral reader, platonic relationship w/ the turtles, more fluffy and silly. Also BOOM, instead of headcanons, I figured why not do a whole fanfic of it, maybe sometime in the future I could make a part 2 to this, but I’ll save that for when proper motivation returns to me 😭
🖤🖤🖤
Being a News Reporter with big dreams, you were always looking for something new, something BIG that could rocket you into public recognition; and it was hard. You were just a local News Reporter doing smaller jobs, and it frustrated the hell out of you, understandably enough. Though it was a terrible idea to start looking into some serious stuff that not many covered, such as these break-ins and fights going on with mutants and these weird ninjas…
Going to investigate one night led you to being captured by the Foot Clan, and you certainly thought you weren’t gonna make it out. Luckily, you were proven wrong when four mutant turtles and a guy in a hockey mask saved you. Once everything cleared, your life changed forever, for the better of course.
Meeting the turtles, Casey, April and Splinter was probably the best thing that ever happened to you, not only that, doing a small News Report on ‘Mysterious Heroes’ definitely got you recognized, though some people thought you were crazy, most were definitely intrigued. 5 mysterious men in the night fighting ninjas? In New York? Things had gotten interesting.
After finally being skyrocketed, your private life has gotten more entertaining. Four mutant turtles as your friends? That’s sick! They were all fun to hang out with and they all had their own thing going for them, like Leo, the leader in blue trying to keep his brothers out of trouble, Raph, a turtle with major anger issues but has a soft heart, Donnie being a literal tech genius and a mechanic, and then there’s Mikey who was just the definition of chaotic good, the dude was crazy! April, she was a smart woman, and she was also easy to talk to, and you always felt comfortable with her. Splinter was like a father to you, and he had definitely helped you when you had some mental struggles… And then there was Casey. Oh, Casey was stupid and stubborn, but he had a good heart, and for some reason, this HIMBO, he ended up making your heart flutter and your face red. Somehow, this man, the man you sometimes bumped heads with and drove you up the wall, was the one that made you feel this way.
To say that nobody noticed was a lie, and guess who the first one was to notice? Yup, Raph. He was the one to notice that you were crushing on his good ole pal, Casey Jones, and was he gonna keep it to himself? Well, actually yeah, he was planning on it, until Mikey himself realized and went and told just about everyone, he’s a bit of a blabber mouth. Luckily, the turtles stopped him before he could go and tell Casey, and instead, Donnie suggested an idea…
Why not set up a blind date? Leo at first wanted to stay out of it, but with the continuous pestering, he finally gave in. Donnie was the one to devise the plan, Mikey and Raph would be the ones to bring you and Casey on this blind date, while Donnie and Leo worked on getting some hockey game tickets… Was a hockey game really the most romantic date? No. But would it bring Casey in? Absolutely.
And so they got to work, Leo and Donnie got the tickets, and Mikey got you, informing you that you were going on a blind date, and Raph dragging Casey, telling him he had a hot date at the hockey game. When you finally met up with your blind date, you were certainly shell-shocked when you realized it was Casey, and Casey, surprised you were his date.
Being given the tickets, the turtles wished you off as you and Casey would head off together to this game, albeit, you were an awkward and nervous mess while Casey was cheering for this game…
The turtles were certainly hoping for the best, and they were excited when Casey slung an arm around your shoulders and led you into the place to watch the game.
Internally, you were flustered, but happy, and Casey was the one to start up the conversation. “So… The turtles set us up on a date.” He starts, “Do you think they were just matchmaking or?” He glanced down at you, curiously, and you thought to yourself, ‘Well, I never told them that I liked Casey, but maybe they noticed? Or maybe Casey’s right…’ you looked back up at him, “Maybe? Either way, I’m not complaining.” Casey looked a little surprised, but smirked soon after, “You saying you like me, sweetheart?” Your face went red, but you took a deep breath and hit him back with the, “Well… Maybe I do? That a problem?”
Casey’s face softened as his cheeks reddened, his smirk turning into a smile as he stared down at you, “Not at all, maybe I do too.” As he led you to your seats and sat down with you. You were both quiet for a moment, but the silence wasn’t uncomfortable at all, you were just both kind of thinking, ‘Wow he/they like me!’ And to say that you were both cuddling before the game started would be the truth. That didn’t last long though, since well, once the game started, Casey was getting excited and jumpy, and all you could do was laugh and cheer with him.

[ The Ember That May Reignite The Fire ]
"Cassandra Jones!! You cannot be serious right now!!" April shouted. It was rare for her to truly get mad and chew someone out and even rarer for April to cuss out Casey but this was something that couldn't be left unaddressed.
"Look- I couldn't just leave a baby out there to die. You're the one who's been telling me for years to do the right thing and now that I do it, it's still wrong?! Where is the logic in that O'Neil?" Casey defended herself while holding the dirty orphan she picked up on patrol a little closer to her chest.
Somehow this little creature had awakened a new side in Casey. A caring one. Not in the way she cares for the Hamato clan or the resistance. She started to care like a mother and all the small child had to do was cry.
The situation Casey had found the orphan was dire, her squadron had just pushed back a small group of Kraang hounds and were securing the area for supply runs when the child cried out beneath some rubble.
It was a human child that Casey picked up and something about that small, dirty face made her soft inside. The moment she had picked up the human infant he stopped crying, opting out for more content coos.
"Casey you are out of your mind! We are barely scraping by already! We cannot handle a small baby here! Our resources are limited!" April chastised Casey some more. "Just- just let me try okay? Maybe this kid grows up to be strong and bright. Maybe he's gonna be the
solution to the mess outside. Let me try and raise this kid. April please."
Whenever Casey got to emotional talk April couldn't keep up her tough demeanor. It didn't help that the small child in Casey's arms was malnourished and still adorable. April understood that these two would be an incredible little family and a major pain in her ass. "Fine. He's your responsibility though. You make sure he is fed, clothed, bathed, gets his shots, trains when he's old enough and most important of all: make sure that child is loved. If you wanna be a mom, do it right" commanded April.
Casey saluted, a sign of respect yet there was softness in both women. For each other and the small child that was now snuggled up against Casey's chest and sleeping soundly.
"He shall be named CJ!" Casey proclaimed loudly. It had only been a few hours since she brought the infant into the base and introduced him to her found family, the Hamato clan.
Mikey especially loved the little boy from the second he saw him. The child gave him hope. Hope that within all this death and destruction new life could grow. It gave him hope that his brothers didn't die for nothing. That there might be peaceful days again.
Mikey missed his brothers so dearly, he lost them when they were all just children. When they were thrust into a situation so much bigger than themselves, even bigger than the Shredder.
Michelangelo hoped that this child, CJ, would be the key to making everything up to his beloved brothers.
"May I ask what CJ stands for Casey?" Splinter spoke up. He was also excited at the existence of this little boy, he missed his own so much. Feeling like a failure of a father unable to protect them from the world, from danger.
"Well it stands for Casey Junior, of course!" Casey, now senior, proclaimed proudly. "Casey… Junior..? You named the child after yourself?" Draxum questioned. "Of course! There is no greater fighter than I so this shall set my son's destiny in stone!" shouted Casey.
Casey junior seemed unshaken by his mother's loud antics. While Casey laughed at her own genius she caught unimpressed looks from April, Draxum and Splinter.
The only one not paying attention was Mikey. He was busy holding CJ in his arms, enthralled by the little life he held. CJ seemed equally curious about Mikey, reaching for his beak and trying to grab at him.
The baby babbled away, incoherently but still very headstrong in what he wanted. Mikey entertained the young boy while the other four still argued about Casey's name choice.
"I will protect you CJ, I promise no bad thing will ever happen to you." Mikey spoke, though it was little more than a hushed whisper, just loud enough that CJ might hear but no one else. Mikey failed at protecting his brothers but he would not fail in protecting this child.
That, he swore to himself.

Do April, Sunita, Irma, and Raph have girls night? Is Mikey included? What would they do?
Do they all have a distinct smell, or just a group smell? <- weird question but my siblings and I kind of pair off with smells, it's odd
Did the teetlez have any big hyper fixations growing up? If so, what where they? Do any of them collect stuff? (rocks, pins, stickers) stuff like that, small and easy to hide
Are any of them a helpless romantic?
Will other villains (besides Shredder) be introduced? Is there a leader once missions become a thing? Who is the medic?
You mentioned the farmhouse, will Leo be in a coma?
Who is the most in touch with their feelings? Does Raph get better about opening up?
When the turtles are 'sick', would splinter ever take their clothes or bedsheets?
girls night out!!
they do have girls night (smtimes w/ mikey) where they chill, talk abt their problems, catch up, watch disney shows, cook, bake, ect.
smells!!
raph smells like mustard (most of the time) but after a jog or going out he usually smells like wet concrete
leo smells like their laundry cleaner (or just clean clothes in general) but after dancing in the subway for money he smells like carboard and greasy fast food
don usually smells like frebreeze unless he just came back from his work shop, in which he would smell like pennies
mikey smells like burnt marshmellows, but after his usual hobbies of going places (the movie theaters) he smells like buttered popcorn
splinter smells like almonds
april smells like paper
casey smells like spray paint usually but after a hockey game (every other day) he smells like sweat and adrenaline
barry smells like his lab, full of crystals, metals, and mystic energies
hyperfixations!!
they all love avatar (the movie w/blue cat alien ppl) and had a poster abt it in leo’s room (it was blue and leo has always had dibs on blue things period) until he ‘got sick’
donnie has a hobbit sticker he has stuck on the back of his laptop bc he loves the book/movies
mikey has a pin of the jeepers creepers movie of (that rosé tattoo that one guy had) he cherishes with his life (he also has a southpark hoodie but we don’t talk abt that)
raph has a supernatural (yes the tv show w/ 15 seasons) mini poster that he has hid behind his drawers and a gravity falls t-shirt he wear smtimes when he goes to sleep
leo has a sonic the hedgehog hoodie he wears smtimes when splinter isn’t around. he also has a camp halfblood sweatpants he wears to bed on most nights.
splinter makes fun of them for their fandoms/hyperfixations (sad sad frfr)
raph and leo are defo helpless romantics
lore stuff?? maybe
yes including: bebop and rocksteady, baxter stockman, big mama, slash (not rlly a bad guy more like morally grey vigilante), karai, and simon bonesteel
donnie is medic, no arguments
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: no one is leader in this au, they all have their own roles:
mikey - the combatant + scout
raph - the tank/brawn + protector
donnie - medic + engineer
leo - strategist + scout
no leo does not get into a coma, but raph does
mikey is the most intuned w/ his emotions (why he got his powers first) but raph has to do a LOT of healing before he can express his emotions correctly
no he does not take clothing or bedsheets or furniture, only possessions, things that make them happy and display their personality. things he knows they will miss dearly.
thx for the ask i love talking abt my au :3

his and his only // sano 'mikey' manjiro
genre: fluff
character: mikey
summary: mikey has an attachment issue ever since losing so many of his siblings (i love to think that mikey has attachment issues>>>)
warnings: contains slight manga spoilers, sister complex, may contain grammar errors, incest ig
Tumblr media
It's normal for a boy to have a certain fixation towards one of their female family members, right? Especially when they have some sort of an attachment issue?
This is what always lingered in Mikey's mind when it comes to you; his twin sister he so dearly loves. He has lost his oldest brother, Shinichiro. Then, his younger sister, Emma, and on the next day, his another older adoptive brother, Izana, which he never gets to bond with him as brothers.
You're all that he has left. Of course, he would never want to ever lose you next. You had promised way before that you will never leave his side and you both will always be "those twins". And most of the time, he has doubts on that promise you guys made ever since they started a sibling losing one by one. Mikey blames himself every day for his siblings death, all because he made a gang. But he loves his gang as much as he loves his family that he couldn't bring the thought of disbanding it. It's like losing another family if Toman is over.
And there, you called. He sets his phone to ring differently from others so that he knows it's you who called. He picked it up before his time for a speech would come.
"Hello, onee-chan~!" A cheery voice greets your tired ears.
"Manjiro, when you get back, if I fell asleep, can you please wake me up?" You requested, pressing the 'please' in your voice like a little kid would beg.
He knew what you were doing just by your simple request. After all, you were in a different world from him. You're smart, hardworking and so many people look up to you. Meanwhile, you had to have a twin brother that is the complete opposite of who you are; lazy, childish and people feared him. Sometimes, because he is in a well-known gang, people tend to immediately judge you as well. He had that one phase where he avoided you for a long time just so you can live your life normally. But when he got scolded by you because that's not what you wanted, he was the happiest man alive. To know that his dear sister actually wanted to be with him is like having your crush accepting your confession.
"But aren't you supposed to just sleep? It's already late once I get home. Besides, you're already a genius! You don't have to study," Mikey answers. Sometimes, you put an all nighter and Mikey doesn't like that because he knows you'll be a bit grumpy the next day for not getting enough sleep.
"It's not studying. I'm only doing my homework. Anyways, can you please wake me up if I fall asleep?" From your tone of voice, Mikey can tell you're batting your eyelashes while giving him those doe eyes he oh-so wants to ruin that innocent little face.
"Fine," he grumbles which earns him a small 'yay' on the other side of his phone. "But if you don't wake up, don't go blaming on me for not waking you up!"
"I know. Thank you, Manjiro!" With that, you end the call and Mikey's name was also called for his speech.
After the Toman meeting, Mikey went straight home on his bike. He makes a bee line to your room but didn't knock. He has that bad habit of not knowing how to knock when entering a girl's room. One time, he accidentally walked in on Emma when she was changing which he felt like he needs to bleach his eyes while getting a bit of beating from Emma. And scolding from Draken.
"Onee-chan?" His voice isn't usually this soft. And there you were, on your study desk with the lights still on and your books open but sleeping.
He walks over to you while calling you out to wake you up however you didn't budge. His hands reaches over to your blonde hair and brushes them behind you ears to get a glimpse of your face that looks exactly like him but more of a feminine touch. His face inches closer and closer to yours until his lips make contact with your temple. He breathes in your scent and immediately he feels at home. He takes another whiff of your scent, almost high from it only.
"Y/N . . ." He breathes out your name.
His heart jumps when you start moving. He quickly moves away from you, retracting his hands while blushing, thinking over the possible risk he just done. He sighs and puts on his brother face, like nothing happened.
"Y/N, wake up. You told me to wake you up when l get home." He continues spitting facts to get you annoyed which works as a way for you to open your eyes.
You grumble in your haze and humming so he can shut up.
"Come on! Wake up." He keeps nudging your shoulder lightly until you raise your head.
"I'm up, I'm up . . . What time is it?"
"11.34 pm. Are you gonna sleep or what?"
You look at your book for a moment before giving up and agreeing that you want to sleep. He raised an eyebrow, confused.
"Didn't you want to finish it?" He asks.
"It's not due for tomorrow anyways," you answer while closing all of your books.
"Then, why did you want to finish it in the first place?"
"I don't like doing it on the last minute."
He notices how tired you are so he offered to put away all your books while you can get to bed. You appreciate that and listen to what he asked of you. Immediately, you plop onto your bed and cover yourself with the duvet. After he finishes cleaning up your desk, he checks up on you to see you're fast asleep.
He also takes off his Toman jacket and slide into your covers to join you sleeping. It's not unusual for them to sleep together. They always do it. This is one of the reasons he doesn't want to lose you. His attachment and fixation towards you is too far to sever it by now. He cannot lose you. He doesn't know what he'll do if you're not by his side anymore. Hell, he doesn't want to think about it. It makes him sad and depressed if he keeps on thinking about losing you.
He holds you close and tight in his arms as if you would disappear suddenly. He moves your bangs out of your face once again and gives a long peck on your forehead. Not caring if you noticed it or not. He does want to let you know some day that you're his and he's yours. And that he loves you more than anything in this cruel world. He loves you way too much than he's supposed to as a brother. He will not let anyone take you away from him or they will meet death immediately.

Sometime after the incident with the purple jacket, April asked Donnie to make her a metal detector. She wanted to look for something she'd lost in the commons of her apartment complex, she told him, and dutifully, he made her one. Not just any metal detector, but the best metal detector, that also had a powerful magnet attached to help retrieve lost objects. He handed it over with pride, received his customary hug and cheek kiss in return, and promptly forgot about the entire thing.
April hadn't lost anything, though... nothing but a little piece of her heart, at making her best friend/something else entirely (best friends had warm fluttery feelings in their stomach about each other right??) give up something he loved so dearly. So every day after school, and after work, found her out combing the streets and the beach and the sewers for spare change. She couldn't use the money from her menagerie of jobs... that went straight to her college fund, mama insisted. She couldn't exactly ask for that much money from her mom, they were scraping by as it was. But she could scrimp and save as much as she could.
And so she did. It took 12 months and 16 days from the time that he had lost the jacket to get all the materials together, and another month for her to stitch them all together on her gramma's old sewing machine, but by the time Donnie's birthday rolled around, she had a brand spanking new purple satin jacket, just for him, and minus the ugly dragon to boot. She'd stitched his clan symbol on it instead~
She'd been gaslighting him for months about getting him a box full of used computer parts, so when he'd opened the box from her and seen the jacket, his look of utter bewilderment was to her satisfaction. Even moreso his awe when he pulled it out and rubbed the material between his fingers, his breath short and his eyes wide.
"How... how did you do this?"
She smirked, and held up her bandaged fingers, where she'd cut and poked herself to death putting the pieces together.
"Been pinching pennies all year. The stitches aren't the best, I really should have let Mikey do them, but you know he can't keep a secret-"
He was pulling her out of the living room and down the hall to his lab before she could even finish, leaving behind his chuckling family. She looked at him askance when he released her to close the blast door, shaking her wrist and huffing.
"What the hell, Donnie-"
He had her enfolded in his arms the next moment, his face buried against her neck and his arched plastron flat to her chest. He was getting so tall that he had to stoop slightly more... what was wiggling? Oh lord, it was his tail, so cute-
"I knew you were up to something, but I had no idea... April, you didn't have to do this."
His voice was a whisper, his hands petting her back, and she hesitated only a moment, her stomach doing flips and twirls, before wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling against his jaw.
"I knew how much it meant to you. And you deserve something nice. So there."
His chest rumbled against her, a low and gentle churr buried behind his carapace, and he leaned back only far enough to meet her eye, nuzzling her back intimately.
She... she could feel his breath on her lips...
"I should expect it by now, coming from you... maybe one day I'll be the one surprising you."
His lips brushed hers. It wasn't a kiss, not really, but she whimpered all the same, and that was all it took to snap him out of whatever stupor he was in, shaking his head and leaning back and glancing down at her parted, glistening lips longingly.
"Maybe on your birthday, hmm?"
Oh like hell was he gonna make her wait another month for that.

 Their gaze lingers on the pond as they sit alone by the park pond , rubbing their shoulder for ease . A few weeks of being in Los Angeles , ⅋ they still worry over how their family will treat them when they visit for the holiday . With their severe injury ⅋ the lack of Warlock's presence , as expected otherwise by their parents , Micah knows that they will receive some concern from their family ⅋ they don't think they can bear any more of it at their current position . A shaky sigh leaves Micah , their head lowered . Please stay with me . ❝ Mikey Way ? ❞
  Micah sees Mike staring back at them on the water surface   ─    A deep breath is taken before Micah glances over to see a teen present before them . ❝ Angelstar , ❞ they whisper , amazed to see how much @hopeborn have grown since they last saw her in person seven months ago . Photos ⅋ videos , they can never carry the same life as seeing another in the same space . ❝ I ─ ❞ Their back suddenly meets the surface from Evangel tackle hugging them .   A choked laughter leaves their muscles aching ,  yet ,  how they still shine more for their sister .
 ❝ I missed you so much , Micah , ❞ Evangel whispers into the crook of their neck , her arms tight around them . It hurts more to breathe in this position , but catching the crack in her voice, Micah tries to ignore the worsening soreness ⅋ embraces Evangel back , smiling against her hair . They tear up , also , their lips quivering from the gradual rise of their emotions . Their home is close to heir childhood house where their parents ⅋ Evangel live , so they can't be stunned they would meet Evangel somewhere around soon , but it is still a pleasant surprise to think of the timing . ❝ I missed you just as much dearly ⅋ more , ❞ they softly return , headbutting her . Their heart swells at the giggle , real , all real .
 ❝ Mom ⅋ Dad told me you’ll be coming here for Christmas , ❞ Evangel sits by their side , leaning against them , ❝ But you didn’t say when . Do they know that you’re here ? ❞ Micah rubs the nape of their neck at the inquiry . ❝ Ah , not yet , Angel , ❞ they reply with quiet honesty , feeling guilty once more that they haven't , ❝ I’ve been going through a lot lately , so I wanted some time alone to adjust here ⅋ compose myself first , y'know ? ❞ Evangel analyzes at them , processing , then nods in understanding . ❝ I’m sorry that you’re struggling so much still , ❞ she sympathizes , ❝ Are you sure you’ll be okay enough to come home ? ❞
 Micah’s gaze softens at the word , home . ❝ Most positive , but I haven’t got to be with you guys for . . . seven months . ❞ Too long since they could be with the Everlove family . Micah misses them all so painfully much . ❝ I am here mainly for work business , but I would love to at least take the opportunity to spend some time with you guys . ❞ The Break Beyond Heads doesn’t know that , though . . . Surely , Bluebreak ⅋ Angelparadox would in the end while they have stronger Awareness , but Micah does not intend to have their personal plans be taken down from them .
 Micah wants to be with their family again . Tears over their cheeks , they quickly glance away from Evangel ⅋ wipe their cheeks . Warmth embraces them whole , reminding them Evangel is here with them , loving them still . They weakly smile ⅋ rest their arm over her shoulder . ❝ How you've been ? ❞ they question , ❝ I deeply apologize that I couldn’t make it to your graduation , but I do wish to remind you that I am so beyond proud of you for getting through high school . ❞ They vaguely remember their time at that period . Now , they can only remember the freezing ─ the burning ─
 ❝ Thank you so much , Micah , ❞ Evangel offers them a gentle squeeze of hand , though , they can't feel it . ❝ Work takes a lot of time ⅋ energy , I understand. I still appreciate you telling me this a whole lot . ❞ Micah wasn't able to come to her graduation when it happened at the time when they were in a severe physical and emotional state after the massacre event at the Break Beyond Festival . The lie was that they were struck with illness from work , yet had friends in D.C. who could look after them . The guilt of not being there to see their youngest ��� closest sibling reach to an important milestone will always haunt them .
 ❝ I've been doing the most I can do , really . The first semester is very overwhelming , but I'm sure it gets better over time . I still can't believe I'll be eighteen in a few more weeks . ❞ Micah's head perks up as their body straightens , having to forget that her birthday is approaching so soon . ❝ Ye- yeah , ❞ they say more quietly , unable to believe she is going to be an adult ─ a flash of Evangel as a child flickers ─ they see Mike again ─ ❝ It is overwhelming to be at this stage , but I promise your future will be clearer to you over time . You're a brilliant star , so I have no doubt that you'll have everything beautiful waiting ahead of you . ❞
 Evangel softly laughs at the genuine support , glancing down , rubbing her eyes . Micah pulls Evangel closer to them .

 ❝ Do you have one for me ? ❞ she asks them , innocently tilting her head .

Before Evangel can say anything in response , Micah tickles her , laughing at the shriek . ❝ Here it is noowww ! Eighteen seconds of tickling ! ❞ Evangel tries to stand ⅋ run , yet , Micah manages to grip her arm tight enough to keep another still . While having only one functional arm , they then use their legs to as a weight against Evangel to hold her still . Their hand reaches to tickle her side once more , laughing louder & longer with Evangel . It hurts so much being in this position , yet , within this soft moment now , Micah feels more than alive .

I was semi-inspired by your stolen TMNT AU where Donatello and Michelangelo (alongside with Miwa, a.k.a Karai) were kidnapped by Shredder at such an early age and was used (exploited) by him to end any means of the Hamato Clan. However— I'd like to point that I 100% doubt that both Donnie and Mikey would gain any sort of positive characteristic, given of Shredder's whole, "if ya' ain't perfect, then don't bother" type of personality.
(This is Human AU btw)
I imagined that, while neither Karai nor Mikey (whose name was changed to Arai or sumn) had any problems keeping up with training, Donnie (name changed to Junko) would face numbers of difficulties. Upon finding out of his intellectual prowers, Shredder wasted no time in pulling him out of their daily practice just so Donnie could dedicate his time to his studies— only allowing him as much as 3 practice per week, and the rest are solely invested to his academics.
Donnie would be waken up at odd hours by consultants after consultants in order to secure that #1 for the next upcoming examination. He was thoroughly isolated that his skin turns pale from the lack of exposure of the sun. Before, he used to attend to the same public school as his siblings— but Shredder pulled Donnie out and enrolled him to a private education instituition that has one too many preassure on him. Donnie was kept as a sort of medic or a doctor of the clan, if not engineers or whatnot.
Karai was able to live up to her 'father's expectations of a kunoichi— she's cunning, smart, and strong enough to overpower a hundred men. However, it is due to these qualities that Shredder pinpointed her as the head of her division at such an early age, thus straining her back with burden after burden. She would often be pushed beyond her limits just to set anew, and was often overworked and injured from a single sparring against Tigerclaw.
Karai is a loving yet a very overprotective older sister who is very adamant on being her little brother's only means of protection. She took their well-beings, safety and happiness very, very seriously that she was willing to take an oath; if even the Shredder himself had hurted them, then she is not hesistant to sit through his execution. I would also like to point out that Karai was over the age of 4 when she was kidnapped— so she already had the sneaky suspicion that Shredder might not be their biological father.
Michelangelo was the invincible child, but he was loved dearly by his two older siblings. Shredder wasn't very fond of him sincr there wasn't a prominent quality that's worth being enhanced and, therefore, deem him as a good for nothing. If Mikey skipped school or went missing during practice, Shredder couldn't care less. He already had two prodigies in his hand.
The plot twist comes around when Mikey would unknowingly hung out with both Leonardo and Raphael at night, unaware of their status as the two living heir of the Hamato Clan. They, along with Karai, even attend to the same school— both completely unaware of each other's identity. It was when Mikey had invited them to pick up Donnie that dejà vu begins to hit.
"Raph... that Donnie... he looked very similar to you"
...
Also, side not— Donnie would be more and more anxious + nervous, Mikey more rebel and Karai more loving.
Link to stolen tmnt au ask
I mean- you told me being raised by Shredder would give them no positive characteristics, but we’re shown that canon Karai has good characteristics, though she still makes morally gray choices after being reformed since- yk, raised by a revenge-addicted ninja crime boss, and all.
ALSO: “Karai is a loving yet a very overprotective“ sounds like good qualities to me! I like her already. Protect thy brothers. Daddy is a terrible person and they need you 💞🥺
“If even the Shredder himself had hurted them, then she is not hesistant to sit through his execution.” DADDY GETS NO SLACK! HA! TAKE THAT, JERK!
And not to be nitpicky but: “Michelangelo was the invincible child, but he was loved dearly by his two older siblings.” This sounds like Junko also gave him some form of affection, in presents or words of affirmation or something to do with being the genius of the family. And that’s a pretty positive trait as well.
The thing about being raised by someone evil is- you don’t necessarily come out evil because of it. You can still be a good person, maybe because you’re just doing what they want because they say so, or you unconsciously cling to some trait or characteristic that makes you good, even while willing doing the evil things.
(Also, I believe that nobody is pure evil. Some horrible people believe what they’re doing is right, even if it’s clearly not.)
Canon Karai enjoyed her father’s evil empire and the freedom it gave her, but she was visibly disturbed when Tiger Claw insisted upon beating up a blind guy. She seemed to have a code of honor separate from the Foot’s, and that always gave me some respect and affection for her character.
*Don’t mind me just dissecting this AU*
I love the idea of Junko being shoved in private schools and under so much pressure and weight from his dad, but still working hard because he knows what’s required of him and hates to disappoint! (Not strictly said here, so consider it a headcanon). Maybe even with a more difficult load than Karai.
I mean, not only does Shredder expect perfection in schools and such, but he probably looks down on Junko for not being best in a dojo setting as well, even if he’s strictly meant to act as engineer or medic. I’m sure everyone in the Foot has to know how to fight and fight well, and his children are no exception. And with Junko being more mind-oriented at all times and not as adaptable as Karai, he probably doesn’t train as much, and that gets him looked down upon, which the “anxious + nervous” boy probably dreads.
I’m interested in the fact that Shredder didn’t notice Arai/Sumn’s natural, untamed skill- unless you’re removing that canon element? Or maybe he saw how Shredder treats his siblings and purposefully doesn’t make it apparent? Oooh, I love that idea. Boi gotta be sneaky to protect his freedom~
The idea of Arai/Sumn running around with Leo&Raph and nobody, including him, having any idea that he’s vibing with the enemy is awesome. 🤣
Wait, how does the last names of Hamato and Saki not trigger “WAIT A MINUTE”- sus vibes??
“Unaware of their status as heads of the Hamato clan” probably means the clan still exists, right? Like, filled with families and warriors and such, and not just Splinter&Leo&Raph? (I assume Hamato Yoshi is around).
If Shredder knows Yoshi is alive, I have to wonder why he wouldn’t know that he has (adopted?) kids and their names. You’d think he’d slander Leo and Raph’s name just as much as he slanders Yoshi, as they’re being raised by a ‘horrible man who killed his love’, yk?
The idea of Donnie being sickly(you said pale, and lack of vitamins can do that) and isolated immediately caught my interest, bc I love the idea of him completely forgoing him health to do whatever others request of him- because that means someone can step in, and since Karai is the eldest, and possibly Leo assists later, they can tag-team fixing this bad habit and reassuring him that he doesn’t need to be perfect. Shredder is being unfair in his expectations and he does just fine doing his best.
I’m a sucker for that kinda stuff. 🥰🥺
And the whole “someone leads a half-awake child to bed as they mumble stressed nonsense before getting reassured and tucked in” trope but ANYWAY-
I like this idea! It sounds very interesting and I’m so glad to have helped inspire it!! I had a clip idea I was gonna scribble out, but I don’t actually know the characters and didn’t know if you would approve, Anon, and this isn’t my AU so- yeah! Super intriguing idea!
Thank you for telling me about it!!

Q9: Can you accept fanfics with Rottmnt x female reader like fanfics has more chapters than 20 chapters or 10 chapters for story idea request?
Q10: Can you accept crossover fanfics with Rottmnt x female reader for story idea request?
Please answer my questions I appreciate. 😊
Hello! Here are the answers to your questions lovely person, thanks :)
Also: I'm still shadowbanned so if other people can see this, hello ;;;
A1: My request box is open! I am currently working on two requests so getting to them may take a little bit but they are open, sadly my posts are currently not appearing on the tags, Tumblr is still dealing with my ticket on that.
A2: I will be making a rules post and sticking it to my masterlist, I currently don't have one but it is long overdue!
A3: I would love prompts and songfic requests!
A4: I think I could write that as long as it doesn't get TOO dark, however you should all be warned that I have never written a yandere character before so the more detailed you can be the better.
A5: I am totally cool with writing suggestive moments and I would warn about those accordingly so go ahead with those requests 🥰.
If things get more NSFW it might take more for me to be comfortable with it but it can be done 👀 I do like NSFW stuff but I am also demi aro-ace so it's not something I would write too frequently.
REST OF THE ANSWERS UNDER READMORE
A6: Leo and Donnie are both my favorite characters in the show! I love them to bits, to some extent it might be because I relate to them in some ways and I love the idea of them being twins.
A7: As I said I love Donnie and Leo, from their worst to their best there are things of both I can relate to, I like how the characters were written from their issues to their strengths.
Leo for one is a born strategist, and despite looking like the wildest of them all whenever his brothers are rushing to something he is usually the one stopping them or suggesting it might not be a good idea (Like when they decided to fight villains and were choosing hard cases to start with or when they were all trusting of Big Mama immediately), however it's also painful that nobody takes him seriously, they always think he isn't thinking things through before jumping and usually in complicated situations he is the one with a solution. He was created to grow into the role of leader.
Donnie for another is a genius, but his brothers seem so used to the things he can achieve they don't seem to appreciate it as much as they should, because for them it's a constant, Donnie craves the applause, the attention, the approval, specially from a parental aged adult (Donnie and Leo seem to have the most issues with how distant Splinter is, looking for approval or parental figures) he is wilder than the others in some ways, specially when it comes to using his tech (even in situations where it might be lethal) but he also loves his family dearly and is the first to have their back whenever Mikey or Leo seem to be in trouble (After Raph who is always ready to catch them).
Apologies for my rant, I love overanalyzing them 🥺.
A8: My least favorite character...is Splinter :( to be fair I loved the idea of Lou Jitsu, and I know he loves his sons, he just had a difficult...LIFE, and it must have been extremely hard to deal with his depression and all other issues while suddenly raising 4 kids in less than ideal conditions.
But the truth is he IS neglectful and all those difficulties do not make up for it, plus the character during this series seems like a terrible racist stereotype unlike the 2012 Splinter, that's a whole other can of worms I won't get into though.
I don't hate him! I love the moments he has with his children but what I said about him just...bothers me :(
A9: I am currently writing a long Leo x OC and I'm planning a Donnie x OC fic too! The reason they are x OC instead of x reader is because I feel like if the story is long I have to give the reader a more detailed personality, so it feels wrong to call them "reader", but if you like the OC and use Interactivefics you can easily change my OC's name to yours!
I WOULD LOVE IDEAS FOR THOSE LONGER FICS, if you feel like offering anything to them do go ahead, however for a request on a longer separate fanfic it would need to be a detailed request and as long as I'm working on my other longer stories I might only do ones that might get to 3 chapters long or so.
A10: I am Okay with crossover requests! However I will only do them if I know the other piece of media of course (Star wars, My hero academia, DC, Marvel, Disney, Dreamworks, etc)
Thanks for asking, I hope this answered all your questions and I will get to the rules for my requests as soon as I can :)

So I’ve been thinking about my past as a fan of TMNT, and had an interesting realization when comparing my attitudes towards characters from TMNT and characters from another series I love dearly: D.Gray-man. This is going to basically be an extremely long ramble and it’s more to get my own thoughts out, so feel free to ignore this if you want.
Years ago, in Elementary School, I got into TMNT. At the time Mikey was my favorite by a landslide, but I dearly loved Leo and Donnie too. After all, Leo’s weapons were super cool and Donnie was… well, he was the purple one. (It’s my favorite color to this day and many fav characters have some purple in them) But… I didn’t like Raph. I thought he was too mean. Too abrasive. Especially towards Mikey, who was my absolute favorite!
But then I kinda… Got over TMNT. Sorta. I never actually ‘get over’ most true obsessions, but they do go dormant like a sleeper agent ready to come back at any moment.
In Middle School my new friends got me into my first Manga: D.Gray-man. It’s a doozy of a manga/anime to start with but to this day I love it. There are two characters in the main cast that really stood out to me. One was Lavi, a guy who was incredibly silly but at the same time was incredibly strong and could be serious when needed. He also had an eyepatch and a big hammer so that was extra fun. For years he was my absolute favorite! He was my Silly Little Guy who I loved dearly.
But there was also Kanda. I loathed Kanda. He was rude. Mean. Closed off from basically everyone around him. And most importantly to me at the time, he would often lash out at Lavi. I thought it was unjustified. Lavi’s a silly guy who’s saying things in jest, and Kanda is overreacting to it.
Once again, my love for this also went dormant.
During college my loves for both reawakened. But… something was different this time.
D.Gray-man came first. I started rereading/rewatching it and made an rp blog here on tumblr for my favorite character for something to do. He was a side character and my favorite even back then. But… my other favorites had changed. I still love Lavi, don’t get me wrong. He comes with me everywhere as a keychain on my keyflail. But now I had a much greater love and respect for Kanda than I ever had before. Somewhere in growing up I started being able to see everything in a new light. Lavi’s teasing of Kanda was often over things Lavi knew Kanda was sensitive about. Like how Lavi would call Kanda by his second name, knowing Kanda hated being called that. I understood now how much tragedy Kanda had in his life and how it lead to him being closed off and abrasive. And I started almost feeling bad that there was a time I thought his reactions were unjustified.
TMNT (specifically 03) came later, though I wouldn’t be involved in the fandom for a long while still. I wouldn’t think about it much until now, but the same thing happened. For a while now Raph has dethroned all the others as my favorite turtle. I never had issues with anger, but… I felt like I could look at him and understand him now. Mikey is always going at him. The response to his outbursts or pushing back always seems to boil down to ‘don’t be angry’. I still love Mikey. He’s great. But my perception shifted to be more understanding of the nuance of Raph’s character and that caused him to become my new favorite.
I’m not sure exactly why this happened. Maybe it was because in the time since I had first gotten into both DGM and TMNT I’ve met so many new people. Got so many more different perspectives and became a more understanding person. Maybe it’s because I now have had moments where I felt incredibly wronged but also felt like I wasn’t allowed to get angry about it. Something about growing up changed things for me. I can’t say I’m too mad, though. Kanda and Raph are great and I love them.

🦋📗🤔 !
🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?
leo!! it's super easy and fun for me to write him because i relate to him a lot. I haven't written a lot for this fandom so I dont have a lot of other POVs to draw from, but Leo's is just the easiest one for me and I've settled very nicely into it lol.
Ive also dabbled a little with Mikey's POV and its been a lot of fun. I haven't posted that fic yet but it'll be one of my whumptober fills.
📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?
i do! i have two original stories in the works! one is a fantasy story i first came up with when i was 14 (it evolved A LOT since then. As in my main character now has a twin brother and is one out of five main characters). the story has ALSO changed so much. that story is on hold until i can figure out where i want the story to go and stuff. I've got 5 main characters for this one and instead of working on plot I've just been writing lore for the fantasy world and working on my ocs backstories.
ive also got another story that im much more focused on (its a lot more recent so I'm not constantly rewriting old stuff. This time I get to come up with it as I go along >:3). This one is also set in a fantasy world (tho I think I'd consider it like science fantasy?) but unlike the one above its not in a world parallel to ours etc etc. Fully its own independent world. This one is plagued with capitalism tho :(( unfortunately :(( but the world is cool!
This one is easier to tackle bc I've only got three main characters (Billie, Rosey, and Sasha) and I love them all dearly <33
My ocs for this one are more fleshed out than the world and the actual story plot ajdjfkfkf.
(I'm not at the level I'd like to be so I don't have any actual writing to show for it, just a LOT of lore lmao)
🤔 Would you ever want to write something canon if you got the opportunity?
Honestly not really? I'm very happy just writing my silly little fanfictions in my happy little corner of the fandom.
thank you for the ask!!!

So since I think one of the biggest topics in tmnt crossovers is how to handle 2012 Raph and Mikey’s dynamic, I’m gonna go ahead throw my opinion out there
1. Yes it IS unhealthy- I don’t know how else to explain to you that Raph slapping Mikey at the slightest annoyance and even decking him in the face hard enough to momentarily knock him out for tapping a beat for 3 seconds in an elevator without so much as a verbal warning is bad (not to mention his verbal abuse). I have a sister and I can tell you that we don’t do that shit even when we’re PISSED at each other and actively fighting, we never go for the head, we just wrestle it out- And more importantly WE TALK ABOUT IT LATER AND APOLOGIZE. If you have the exact same relationship as them with your siblings and think it’s fine, you should probably reflect on things (especially if you’re the Raph)
2. No I don’t think Raph should be demonized or reduced down to an uncaring abusive asshole- a lot of people have taken to portraying Raph as more villainous than the actual villains, and having the Rise brothers adopt Mikey bcuz “none his actual brothers care about him and wouldn’t miss him” which is nonsense. Raph has his own character flaws that need to be addressed, namely his massive anger issues, but they show time and time again that when the cards are down he truly does care about his brothers, and so do the rest of them. I can understand people who relate to Mikey and see their own toxic relationships in the abuse and take it a step up in writing as a way to vent, but you shouldn’t insist that it’s exactly what’s happening in canon, especially to those who haven’t seen the show
3. Raph and Mikey both are victims of the shows flawed writing (most characters are tbh but I’m focusing on them for rn) Raph is shown to have anger issues and they even address the need to control it in an episode, and you know what happens to the character development as soon as the episode is over? Gone, and they never speak of it again. Same with Mikey who, as much I dearly love him, is outrageously unobservant and immature. He, like Raph, is reduced to his stereotype, in this case the funny dumb one, and whenever they introduce deeper thought to his character- like the episodes where he runs away after his brothers call him useless or dumb or just ignore him, show his awareness of their treatment being harsh and his own self worth issues- they’ll focus on it for exactly an episode and maybe have the situation momentarily resolved by the end and then never spoken about again. They use Mikey’s abuse as a punchline excessively and have Raph cross lines I don’t think his character would naturally do because “haha he’s angry all the time and kids like physical slapstick”. Rise occasionally has issues with this type of lazy joke writing too, and it also impacts how people view the characters- I’ll make a post about splinter and how their propensity for using him for lazy bum jokes (to the point of being contradictory to what we’ve seen of him) has actively negatively impacted how fans see him.
Basically please don’t bash Rise or 2012 in their entirety, both have flaws that can be critiqued and joked about but neither need to be dragged through the mud to make one look better than the other. It’s a bad look for everyone and I hope in a few years both Rise and 2012 fans can be pretty much entirely at peace with each other.

if you had to choose,
baby jonny and max duo or mike and max duo???
because both are so cute(and chaotic) and i’m having a hard time choosing because i don’t think jonny likes mike, little or not:>
he saw mike being a meanie to nancy one day and ever since he doesn’t like him, no matter how many times nancy tries to convince him mike isn’t mean he was just having a bad episode and took it out on nancy but nope, he was mean to momma so he can’t play with him ever(`Д´)
so mike sits max down one day and tells it to her straight
“ me or jonny? who’s it gonna be?”
and she doesn’t know what to do because she loves both of them and she likes playing with jonny and being cuddle buddies, but she also likes matching with mike and terrorizing the party
“ i dunno, why can’t i have both?”
“ because you can’t!”
“ why not?”
this just continues until a cg breaks them up since they’ll go all day if someone doesn’t stop them:>
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE?? HOTLIIIINE UR EVIIIL I CAN'T CHOOOOSE ヽ(`д´;)/ i need one to fall back on depending on if im in a cuddly mood or a chaos mood!!! ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ but hsvdiebdsn imagine jonny being extra cuddly with nancy whenever mike, big or little, is around. mike's trying to talk to her & jonny abandons whatever he's doing to hug her close n pout glare at mike: "my mama."
"jonny, he was just asking me–"
"my mama!"
n mike backs off like "alright, sorry; i'll go ask someone else." mike initially thinks he's just being clingy but after seeing literally everyone else interact with nancy without jonny fervently stating she's his mama, not theirs, he realizes that is ... not the case (´⌒`;)
(i find it funny u say jonny doesn't like mike tho, bc me & @jjtheresidentbaby have a concept where those two play the same three games together all the time & max is SOOO TIRED of it, the fact they play nothing else & everyone is okay w it drives her MAD!! she's so TIRED of saving ducky & mr rabbit from a block tower, PLEASE can they just go outside!!!)
but anyways ,,, i CANNOT choose!! baby jonny & max r the cutest little cuddle buddy, whisper-shout duo, but mikey & maxie are just CHAOS, running around driving everyone insane with their antics!! they're special in their own unique ways ... so NO, hotline, i will NOT choose and i don't wanna p(╬ Ò ‸ Ó)q /lh
BUT! they're definitely has been a time where jonny, max, & mike are all little together bc of sleepovers with the gang, & mike n jonny are trying to pretty much hog max all to themselves like she's a type of toy HEIEHEKE ,, jonny's tugging one arm bc he's in a cuddly coloring mood & mike is on the other arm trying to get her to partake in the perfect prank for dustin & lucas!!
"maxiiie! wanna color 3:"
"nuh-uh! maaax, i gotsa prank idea! c'mooon!!"
"noooo, color!"
"no! prank!"
"color!"
"prank!"
"color!"
"praaaank!"
"coloooor!"
nancy and el have to physically separate the two from max bc they can see she's two more "prank-color"s and arm tugs away from screaming at them both 😭 she loves them both dearly but MAN they were getting annoying (∩´﹏`∩)
