Shou’s scars from his (implied) awakening through CLAWs experiments

I like to think Benny uses that stupid gun Maria cause of it’s aesthetic rather than functionality cause it fits with the Tops theming otherwise he’s more inclined to stab someone to death like in the chairmen’s tribal boot-rider days cause a good ol neck stabbing truly never fails.

RAT SONS LORE DUMP #1

THE HAMATO FAMILY

okay so im looking at my first few character sheets and theres a little bit of lore/context i want to give just to clarify, specifically about the last generation (of humans) in the Hamato lineage

(long text heavy post ahead!)

so background:

in the 03 version of tmnt The Ancient One (who is not a Hamato) essentially adopts three children: Hamato Yoshi, Yukio Mashimi, Tang Shen (girls dont get surnames i guess??) They seemed to have been explicitly raised as siblings. Still, love triangle trope was hungry ig. Both boys fell in love w Tang Shen and she fell for Yoshi. to which Mashimi said ‘alright bet’ and killed her. i cant even laugh at him for his pathetic Nice Guy “i was nice to you for years and u wont have sex with me???” tantrum cos like. sir, that is ur sister. boy howdy. all of yall need to go meet some other people.

mostly i chalk that whole mess up to the fact that the writing of women in most media in the early 2000s lacking like idk?? any actual characterization?? an ounce of consideration??? not a single braincell?? they were mostly just there to be a means to some plot trope, rather than an actual character in and of themselves — like im amazed april came out as lovely as she did, with her own like life and skills and autonomy (her big sis vibes in 03 are so so nice, and tbh i love her whole character a lot — still lots of misogyny moments in her writing too but im not trying to do an analysis into that rn)

so anywho!!

for the rat sons au, i decided to go ahead and scrap all the incesty undertones (idk, are those undertones? seems p straight up to me?) and completely revamp the origins of The Ancient One, Tang Shen and Yoshi <3 (and Mashimi too ig, but he essentially got cut out entirely. sucks to suck ya entitled lil douche)

Here's the general lowdown

So, the Hamato clan is one of the oldest and well established in all of Japan. The family rose to prominence in the feudal period of Japan’s history, due to their collective skill in the art of ninjutsu, their dedication, stealth, and discretion. Like most ninja, they were assassins available to hire, either for killing or simple sabotage, for politics or personal matters – though no matter the task, a Hamato’s loyalty was always to the head of the Family over their client.

Beyond their reputation as a ninja clan though, the Hamatos also had a reputation for being extremely generous to their community and highly protective of the less fortunate. (think kinda Al Capone vibes, like oh these bitches hella dangerous. but also. will def tip over $100 soooo…) This did lead to occasional conflict of interests during assignments/contracts. Most Hamatos would then seek the advice of the head of the family, and follow their lead, be it to the benefit of their client, or not.

(This also led to several members either abandoning the clan, or being killed by their clients for failed action etc etc)

As time passes and we reach the mid twentieth century or so, there is only one final heir to the Hamato lineage. A young man, named Hamato Sho. Sho spent his youth trying to serve his family and honor their name etc etc etc. But ultimately, this got him caught up in a lot of corrupt powerful nonsense that he eventually walked away from after the death of his friend.

This friend had left behind a young daughter, Tang Shen. Since he knew she had no other family to claim her, Sho took her in, expecting to only be a temporary foster at most. Surprise! this quiet five year old kiddo melted old mans cynical heart to absolute mush. his daughter now bitch.

He only ever adopted the one child, and he adored her sm. and he tried his best to be a good papa. he nurtured her curiosity and engaged in her interests and taught her everything he knew, without ultimatums or concerns about family names. at times he could have probably been considered very lax in his parenting, or far too lenient or undisciplined, but as a kid that grew up suffocated by watching eyes and guiding hands and Destiny capital D, i think that by giving his child room to be her own person and do her own shit (especially in her teenage years) he was in fact showing her a level trust and pride than he never had been given himself. basically he did everything he could to give her the exact opposite childhood he himself had (like rise splints <3)

Because of Sho’s encouragement, Tang Shen grows up to be a very independent soul, whos never met a problem she can jerry-rig, bodily move, or roundhouse kick into being fixed. She also becomes a fucking badass ninja master (and mystic warrior, lol) though mostly all she wants in life is the maintain the quiet little farm her father has started. maybe kiss the cute boy from town who walks her home sometimes (even though he lives the other direction.)

Meanwhile, Yoshi (surname pending) is in fact not a Hamato. Yet, at least. he, however, is that cute boy from town who walks home with Tang Shen most days and has been absolutely smitten with her since like fourth grade lol

(theyre besties for like a decade before they officially start to date. They get together finally after Tang Shens been trying to figure out a good date idea (one that isnt just something they already do) to ask him on for like a month, and Yoshi just leans over and kisses her goodbye super casual one day cos he thought they already had been dating for like. six months. cue her delight and his abject horror (he never wouldve kissed her if he didnt think that was already established as okay. p sure he even like asked her before randomly like, hey is it alright if i kiss u goodbye? and she was like ????? ok??? is this cos of ur european studies class. theyre both very silly) shes gonna tease him so bad about all of this. and tell Sho. Yoshi will never know peace again /affectionate)

Mashimi doesnt make any real appearance in their story i dont think. Like he might be a friend of Yoshi’s in elementary school. probably had a tiny start of a crush on Tang Shen when they were small and tried to take the ‘pull pigtails on the playground’ route of getting her attention. what he got was a kick to the chest and a broken nose. never came near her again after that. (eventually started avoiding Yoshi too since he was with Tang Shen all the time)

All that being said though, im afraid Tang Shen is not fully free of curse of the unwanted suitor. The Hamato name still carries a fair amount of pull, after all, and there are some very dangerous people looking to make some claim to its influence.....

Puppy Pack &

Pot Brownies AU

"Is it me spinning?

Oh dear

Such a lovely dance"

trigger warnings: pot brownies, protective friends, careless boyfriends, Nett & Thiam

"Nolan, just how many brownies have you eaten?" Mason asked, concerned.

The freckled boy was caught by the puppy pack wandering around the party in a slow and dizzy pace, his legs looking like were about to give out any minute.

"I... Humm... Don't know? Where's Brett?" Nolan looked around, eyes heavy and blurry, trying to find the blonde tall boy in the middle of the improvised dance floor.

"Here, I got him some water" Theo handed the bottle to Mason. "Let's get somewhere for him to sit down"

"Did he knew those where pot brownies? Who gave him those?" Liam angrily asked, frustrated for his friend helpless state.

"Some seniors brought them, but I don't think he knew what they were..."

Corey was guiding Nolan gently to one of the bedrooms in the basement, supporting most of his weight.

"But Brett... Can't... Brett? Are we leaving Brett there?"

Nolan tried to leave when he saw that they were getting away from the loud music, Theo stopped in the hallway, looking for the freckled's boyfriend.

"I don't think he knew, actually... Where is Brett, the fucker doesn't answer his phone!"

Suddently, Theo saw the dirty blonde hair of his boyfriend in the crowd, looking positively fuming, heading towards somewhere.

"Heh, somebody is about to get their ass kicked" Theo laughed, and crossed his arms, waiting.

"OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!"

"You were supposed to take care of him! Where was you when he eaten those?"

It was a laughable scene, Liam dragging Brett by his ear.

"What?! Those were just candies! OUCH! Let go Liam! Fuck, I was right there!" The tall boy squirmed, trying to get away from Liam's tight grip.

"He is down there, go and take care of him or else I..." Theo interrupted Liam's bicker, grabbing him by his hips.

"Leave him, they will be fine." The quimera whispered in his ear. "Meanwhile, you owe me a dance."

Devi: "You're gonna hate someone else in college"

Ben: "Not possible"

When I alredy heard this 🤔

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE

Capparity my beloved. <3

About the ship: -Capper would more and more often come to Equestria to visit Rarity, he'd insist on helping her around her shop to the dismay of Sassy Saddles who'd constantly carry around a lint roller whenever he'd visit -He'd never admit it to Rarity but he'd fallen for her quite early on and felt guilt for his feelings, assuming she would not only be disinterested in him, but not even consider being in a relationship with an Abyssinian and not a pony -Rarity, somewhat oblivious to his feelings, would be told through Applejack and Pinkie about Capper's true intentions in returning to Equestria every so often, she thinks he's cute for doing so after finding out -Rarity takes Capper out on a date as a reward for his efforts for all the times he aided her in her boutique, she also does it to tread out some waters she hadn't taken the time to consider before -The two become a couple a few dates after that, through which Pinkie constantly demands details out of Rarity, having most likely shipped them from very early on in their friendship -For a long time Capper still felt at fault for them even being together, constantly fretting over whether or not Rarity truly liked him or not and whether or not their relationship blossomed out of an obligation -One particular day he even thought he'd seen her sigh longingly at Applejack and Blueblood with their newborn son, as if wishing for normalcy -In his worry, Capper left Ponyville for a short period of time to see if he could do anything about his personal predicament, and assured Rarity it wasn't anything she should concern herself about -During his travels he would search for a solution to give Rarity a much more desirable and normal version of himself -When he does in fact find the means, of which was probably from a stranger living in the middle of nowhere in some bog he didn't bother to remember the name of, he returns home with much anticipation -Notably he didn't take much time to memorize the undoings of the spell he was intending to use, which would have something to do with a confession and a kiss in the form of a neat rhyme I'm too poor to write -Capper is warmly welcomed back home and him and Rarity resume their normal routines -It isn't until a few days later that he finally chooses to use the potion that he had searched for when he has a moment to himself -Disappointingly he notices no physical changes in himself, until a few moments later when he hears clutter coming from another room followed by one of Rarity's infamous screams -Capper runs in to find that it wasn't him who had changed in appearance, but her -Rarity spends a long while confused and barricaded in their household trying to make sense of the fact that she was now an Abyssinian, constantly crying about not having her magic to make dresses or even comb her hair -Rarity asks Capper desperately if he has any idea why this would have happened, to which he nervously replies that he doesn't have any clue -Capper takes care of her during this time, helping in whatever ways he can, practicing to walk on her hindlegs and even the ability to use her newfound paws for grabbing things; he even teaches her a few pointers on sewing that he had picked up on during the beginnings of their friendship -A few days of undisclosed cat-hood and not going outside had passed before Rarity's close friends had begun to ponder at the situation, Capper eventually has no choice but to bring them in on it -After a few positivity speeches from the girls, Rarity gains the confidence to go outside and attempt to continue on with life as if nothing had happened -Rarity takes on a whole new approach to her lifestyle and begins making dresses for creatures outside of just ponies, she even gets the hang of walking on two legs after a while -She even takes a few pointers and tips from Mistmane who had overgone a species change as well -Eventually Capper does admit to all the things he had hid from her for so long, including the self doubt he had about their relationship, even bringing up the fact that he had assumed she'd wanted a more normal family -Rarity with no bearing of anger over his feelings and actions tells him straight out that she had figured out her feelings long before and wasn't backing out on them now, she even infers of the moment of seeing Applejack with her family as wanting to start one of her own -The two kiss and the spell is unbound, something they realize afterwords was an act they hadn't yet attempted to try in Rarity's previous state of being -A certain amount of time later Rarity finds out she's expecting and not long after that they find out they're having triplets, to which ponies would occasionally tease about it implying they were having a litter -As an Abyssinian Rarity picked up the habit of licking herself to clean her fur and continued to do so as a pony for her foals -A while after their three foals are born Rarity takes up dressmaking again, but chooses to primarily intend for her dresses to be worn by all creatures and not just ponies -She dutifully spends as much time as she can making dress wear for her babies as they inspire her daily General facts: -Rarity and Capper were both surprised to find their children attempting to waddle on their hindlegs very early on in their development; all three of them are capable of both walking on 2 and 4 legs -It was a very momentous occasion for Rarity to watch each foal learn to walk on their hindlegs, remembering how difficult it was for herself to figure out -Capper has a soft spot for Clarity, being the shy and quiet one who has a hard time fitting in on occasion -Celestine has the tendency to get her attire dirty, she was constantly in the mud as a child, Rarity is constantly panicking over Celeste ruining her pretty dresses -I imagine Ramsey to be the one to like trying on clothes the most -Capper would comb Rarity's hair for her for a while when she was an Abyssinian as he knew that was something she constantly missed being able to do when she had her horn -The first time Rarity would have a hairball she would spend the whole day in her bedsheets out of sheer humiliation afterwords

Meanwhile in The tale of the nine tailed season 2...

Donatello from any TMNT universe would absolutely get along with the unhinged nature that was Leonardo Da Vinci.

Man dug up bodies to perform his own medical dissections. He was inventing the most crazy insane shit. He painted (some say the Mona Lisa was just Leonardo imagining himself as a woman). His notebooks were written like upside down. He really was a jack of all trades.

I just imagine Leonardo Da Vinci as this isolated crazy man who lived in his mansion in Italy and got to do what he wanted because of it.

o/ hi! how about jleo?

Oi! Hallo Pebbl! :D Jleo is like, a thing of beauty I think. There is nothing like it. I do still like them platonic more because i do not think romance adds much of anything to their relationship, to me they are kinda like Rendoc, homies who are just like very very close, in a very different sense tho, like, they are both like, you know? Sure Joe is Cleo's eternal torment in a physical form but really, she is almost as bad. They worth each other. Also, whenever i think of those two i remember a moment from some hhh stream where Cleo said something about their friendship with Joe? Or something? And Joe said "Yeah I already know that I am more enthusiastic about you than you about me". Whatever that means man.

It’s funny, John is never actually described as wearing the lyctor robes at any point but I think we’ve all just assumed that he would, to match his besties

its so insane to me that azul and jamil actually dance together in glorious masquerade . i mean they duo. like . wtf r u guys doin wearing cool masquerade outfits and dancing !!! gay ppl fr !

LITERALLY THEY MAKE ME SO SICK. the mental image of them dancing is soo. oh god. they're really feeding the demons in my head. you know the trope of where two people are dancing really well together to the outsiders eye and then you zoom in and they're just exchanging veiled death threats. so jamiazu they talk while they dance amd jamils always like If you dont shut your mouth but azul never does and jamil never actually does anything to make him shut up

This pic I took of my cousin Haven and her bf at the skating rink when they were both abt 14 years old…. Now they’re in their 20s and they’re engaged to be married and they are just so incredibly adorable and in love :’)

We should really talk about the way they look at each other.
