how do you connect to your character? like how do get to know them so well? how do you pick out their likes, dislikes, habits and those itty bitty bits about them? I've been struggling to do that for sooo many of my ocs, and i'm also at a lost of how to design them. like i once had a clear idea of what kind of character they are, but i wanted to change them a bit, make them a little better, and i feel like I've lost that character and that character i'm working on doesn't exists, no matter how much i loved them and enjoyed writing an drawing them. this has happened with every single character i made and it just makes me think that i may not be cut out for drawing or writing characters. i look up to you so i thought of asking you for help

sry for the long rant idk wat im doing

HELLO HELLO THANK YOU FOR ASKING!! So basically I took this question and turned it into a 1.6k word essay on writing characters and how I like to do it, so, uh, hope you enjoy!! and hope it helps!

OK!! character writing. How do you do it? or, well, how do I do it. I’ve got a few methods that help me out the most and are the most fun for me to think about. Here’s my big secret, if it’s not fun I don’t do it. I’m not here to do homework I’m waaayyyy out of school. I’m a legal adult. I pay my taxes. I’m not gonna do something that doesn’t give my brain the good fun juice. Anyways. My methods are: symbols, archetypes, and character inspiration. I use all these to figure out the CORE of a character, their very beating heart, and most importantly, what haunts them. Everything about a character, in my opinion, comes from this core and their ghost. Their habits, their fears, their joys, their coping mechanisms. So long as you have a clear grasp on their heart, you won’t go astray. Let’s dive into it! The characters I’m going to be using to describe how I use these methods are Alice and others characters from my webcomic—namely Edith, Hatter, and Rougina—and Tomiko (you know her you love her, catgirl supreme).

Symbols! I love using symbols, they’re something that can describe a character through metaphor, even without going into detail about their whole backstory and habits. Tomiko’s symbols are lanterns (specifically light), cats, ghosts/yokai, shapeshifting, and gold. They all work to further her character as a rough around the edges monster cat with a heart of gold, who uses shapeshifting as a method (both literally and metaphorically) to mold herself into what others need her to be. Alice’s symbols are hearts, eyes, and flesh in general. Try picking one general symbol (the ocean, the forest, the city), and see how specific you can get from there. Or pick a god or goddess that resonates with your character and see what symbols are used for them. Rougina (the antagonist in my webcomic) is a war goddess fallen from grace, and is symbolized with land and volcanoes, so I’ve used volcanic plants to evoke her. Personally I also love going through the tarot for symbols, assigning a tarot card to characters (of the major arcana) is a fun exercise. Which leads us nicely into our next method:

Archetypes! The tarot deck’s Major Arcana is pretty much only archetypes. The Empress as the Mother. The Magician as the Wise Mentor. The Tower as The Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen Oh Jesus Shit. These can help a lot with who your character is. I’m extremely storytelling oriented, so it helps me knowing What Role a character serves in the story they inhabit. Another thing I love in archetypes in the Zodiac. Yes, I am an astrology bitch. The whole reason I love talking about my methods is my Sag rising, I love giving my wisdoms. But astrology can be used for writing, and not just for excusing and not reflecting on shit behavior (can’t help being a gemini!). The zodiac is FILLED WITH ARCHETYPES!!! From elements to how they function! The four elements (you A:TLA bitches know this), and three modalities. If you’re interested please watch Eugene’s Rank King video, it’s very informative on the signs. Also many symbols! For example, Alice is a Taurus—May 4, Alice Liddell’s birthday—so she’s pretty stubborn while also loving creature comforts. Tomiko’s birthday is August 23, making her a Virgo, so she likes being precise in her work. More archetypes you can look for are DnD classes! I love using that to design costumes. One of Edith’s recent costumes is very wizard inspired, since that’s the class I see her having as she’s very studious and driven. Heck, all of Alice and the Nightmare is derived from the character archetypes of the Alice in Wonderland characters! Rougina is specifically the Red Queen, NOT the Queen of Hearts!! The confusion started with the 1951 Disney animated movie when the two characters were merged!! Lewis Carroll himself said the two were different! The Queen of Hearts is an “embodiment of ungovernable passion” and the Red Queen is “the concentrated essence of all governesses”!! GOD!!! Tim Burton meet me in the fucking pit you’ll pay for your alice crimes. anyways.

Archetypes help a lot in costumes too, figuring out what kind of fashion they’d like to wear. You can start broad and get more specific with it (like going from a wizard type character to a wizard character with steampunk themes). Fashion is just an extent of character. What are they comfy in? Are they confident in their body? What colors do they like? Bright high fashion or simple dark sweaters? Ryoko Kui is a master of character design I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend checking out her work.

Another method I like using, specifically for Alice and the Nightmare characters, is what I call the “three trait method”. When I was in middle school we did a production of Alice in Wonderland (I was the White Knight), and too many girls auditioned for Alice. So the director’s solution was to split the character into three parts, and assigning each part to an actor. Her temper, her intelligence, and her innocence, all used in different scenes. Now I use that to think about my own Alice character, except with “polite, temper, and curious”. Edith’s keywords are “nervous, tactical, and intelligent”. Hatter’s are “kind, enthusiastic, and intuitive”. Using keywords can help figure out how they’d react in a situation, what side of them would shine the brightest. Hatter’s want to help everyone is his kindness, but overstepping his bounds can be attributed to his enthusiasm. Edith can know what path to take in a pinch, but her nervousness can freeze her in place. Reading the source material helps a lot with Alice characters too, which brings us to our final point:

Character inspiration!! The art of taking things you like and shoving them into your own characters and stories. DISCLAIMER THO!!! If you take things without really EXAMINING what about them you like, WHY you like them, and how you’d like to evoke that same love in the things you make, the interpretations can come off as shallow. (for more on this subject, watch HBomberguy’s RWBY video essay, specifically the section on “anime homework”)

Tomiko’s biggest inspirations are Izutsumi from Dungeon Meshi, April Ludgate from Parks and Rec, Power and from Chainsawman, San from Princess Mononoke, and Mei from LMK. It’s a good cocktail of aloof, biting, vicious, weird, fierce, loving, and bright. Figuring out what I love about the characters and what I want to write in a character like that helps a lot in writing Tomiko. It’s also really fun in a sense for screenshot redraws and memes.

Music is also a HUUUUUUGE source of inspiration for me, I love making playlists. And even as playlists can change as characters grow and change, having a couple of core songs still helps me ground to that character’s center. For Tomiko it’s “Make Them Gold” by CHVRCHES, and “Nice Girl” by Ashnikko. Alice’s is “Headlock” by Imogen Heap and “Demons” by Hayley Kiyoko, Edith’s is “Warrior” by Kimbra, and Hatter’s is “Dementia” by Owl City.

Ok, we’ve gotten though symbols, archetypes, and made a couple of banger playlists. Next is something that can help write your character, the Big Lie. The thing that keeps them up at night. Their biggest fear, their ghost, what haunts them. What’s holding them back from their goals? What do they need to overcome? That can be as central to their theme as any symbolism. For Tomiko it’s the lie that her emotions don’t matter, only what she can do to be of service to her mother. Her arc is about overcoming her dismissing her own emotions and learning to not run away from the people who she truly cares for. Alice dismisses the literal ghost that is haunting her believing that that will let her have a normal life. Edith pushes down abilities that come naturally to her for fear that she’ll be exiled, not just from society, but the world. Rougina believes she must burden the world’s problems on her own shoulders with no one’s help. The outer character and the inner ghost can reflect, mirror, and inform each other.

Now, listen, sometimes characters are hard to get to know! Tomiko was lol. Quinn was for a looong time. And in times like this, I just, let them be. I listen to some music to get inspired, and let them tell me about themselves when they feel like it. And they will, it just take a little while. And a few dozen quick exploration drawings. But they come through. Also, try not to get bogged down with habits and little details of their character, keep their core in mind, what their heart is. Start broad and get specific. That way, if you feel like you’ve lost your way or the character feels different to you, recenter yourself at their heart and go from there. Or, if you find that their center no longer fits, don’t be afraid to change it! Characters are meant to be fun! First and foremost!! I make characters cause I like writing and storytelling, and drawing little comic for fun and me time. Sometimes characters stick around, sometimes they fall by the wayside. You really have to find what sparks joy, and chase your bliss!

So as long as you have your character’s essence in your hands, and you WANT to keep working on them and drawing them, there’s really no wrong way to go. This whole essay I’ve given is just a set of tools that works for ME, and I HIGHLY encourage you to find stuff that works for you! I really really hope that all this has made sense and isn’t just the ramblings of a madman. Good luck and happy charactering!!

Kitsune!Cater

Why it's so hard to draw Cater's tails (╬ಠ益ಠ)

I went crazy when I told him to replace his last two droughts. Now I take them and- ahem

I drew this from my phone. And ah, below (the writing style, according to me, is terrible) kitsune!cater has a short fiction. Go forward with your own preference.

hah 6 yıl sonra gerçekten yazmaya geri döndüm ama… yazmanın ne kadar sıkıcı olduğunu unuttum. Uzun zamandır yazmadığım ve kendimi geliştiremediğim için yazdıklarımın bana ne kadar kötü gelebileceğini de hesaba katarsak, bu bir acı gibidir. (Bu acıyı kendime veriyorum. Şu anda 2 bin kelimelik bir "Kıtsune!Ace & Siren!Reader" hikayem var ve daha hikayenin yarısına bile gelmedim. Motivasyonumu kaybettim.) O yüzden bunu yazmaya karar verdim. Biraz daha fazla motivasyon için catering açısından yazdığım hikayenin fikrini (daha az kelime, daha az hikaye) bana aktarın.

Kitsune!Cater, who is pretty much good with people all near where he lives. Like a normal person, he talks to them, shares interests, and jokes.

Kitsune!Cater, who did not explain to people that he was kitsune because of the rules of the temple where he lived. He gets around so well that he thinks that even if he walks around with his ears, no one will think that he has a kitsune in his mind. Although he thinks about it, he always keeps hiding his ears and tail.

Thanks to this, Kitsune!Cater, who, unlike other temple dwellers, has more access to exiting as a senior. When he hears the story about the voice that is said to have divine beauty that reaches his ear at the end of the day, he understands that he has taken bone from all these labors.

Kitsune!Cater, who immediately realizes that he is one of the Yokai's who had been caught in the hunt for yokai years before when he hears the story, cannot stop pitying you because he remembers that the incident happened four hundred years ago. he immediately communicates this to the temple Oni!Riddle.

Kitsune!Cater who has to incapacitate you because you keep resisting going out, knows that this way of getting out is not healthy and he doesn't want to do it. But he sees with his own eyes how unhealthy it is for you here. a bunch of stamps poured in the bunch. You can very comfortably say that you did not feed for a century.

Kitsune!Cater, who always finds a topic to talk about despite what you have experienced in the past, tells you that even if it is not his duty to do so, he comes to visit you often in a day and sees you outside, he knows. Even if you don't answer, it doesn't break its route at all.

Kitsune!Cater, who makes you feel like a small child even though you are older than him. He is always happy to see your growing self when the days you live here become months, months and years.

Kitsune!Cater, who has been trying so hard to find the freshwater lake that you lived before he catches you with the story he heard from you, has unfortunately not been able to survive for 400 years and is a marsh that has been holding the memories that adorn your life. there is no news of your family.

Kitsune!Cater, who knows he should be upset under normal circumstances, but when he comes back and watches you smile with those around him, the feeling in him tells him the opposite.

you are now part of his family like those in this temple.

You're not going to leave them, are you?

Why I like Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

(my part of the letter from my last reblog)

Up until about three months ago, I disliked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I saw the trailer for the Bayverse live-action TMNT and quickly decided I hated it. The live-action designs and the turtles’ attitude towards April felt gross, and I suppose that I, a young teenage girl at the time, felt like I didn’t fit in the target audience.

Flash forward to four months ago. I’m scrolling through my Tumblr feed – looking for Ninjago fanart and completely disregarding the target audience for lego ninja – when I see something under the “For you” tab.

It’s a Rise comic, but I don’ recognize it as TMNT yet. It’s a drawing of a scruffy-looking teenage boy, with long black hair and a hockey stick. He appears to be underground, looking a little lost. He turns, and before him sits a giant robot, deactivated and covered in moss. It’s a turtle, I realize, but I still haven’t realized that it’s a TMNT comic.

Then the boy calls his Uncle Donnie, who’s a turtle in purple. It’s then that I realize; I’ve been tricked. I’m reading a TMNT comic and genuinely enjoying it. I begrudgingly give the comic a like and go on with my day.

Over the next few weeks, I keep seeing more of the comic. To my horror, I’m actually enjoying reading it. One month after discovering the comic, I give in. I go to the first page of the comic and read from the beginning.

It’s the story of a family trying to survive in a world overrun by invaders. Their family is made up of four color-coded turtles who make up the nebulous concept of uncle-dad, their entirely human older sister, and the scruffy-looking teenager they-re all trying to keep alive. This family dynamic is one I quickly grow to love, and the comix earns itself a place in my heart.

And then I watch the Rise movie.

Skip ahead to the present. I just watched the Rise movie two days ago (it had me in tears). As I write this, I’m also trying to figure out a plothole in the seventh chapter of the fanfiction I’m writing. Just yesterday, I finished designing the skeleton of my yokai character (because why not. I love speculative anatomy). I’m still reading the comic, which just updated yesterday. I’m happy with my new interest.

I love Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the family dynamic. I’ve always been a fan of unconventional families, and I’ve grown a liking for color-coded squads. I enjoy how April is more like a sister than a crush for the boys to fight over. I feel a certain kinship with Donnie, as an autistic-coded middle child who loves to learn. I absolutely adore Raph, the person who’s had to step up to care for their siblings and yet hasn’t quite grown out of the stage of life where he’s just a kid. Mikey is so silly and adorable, and he reminds me of my younger sister; the youngest and somehow the wisest at times. Leo feels just like a character from the first show I ever had such an interest in (Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender) and I think he’s pretty awesome.

I also enjoy the show’s unique takes on some things. I find it cool how the turtles are all different species. I love how this iteration’s version of Casey Jones is an energetic young woman from a rival clan. I find it interesting how Karai is a loving ancestor instead of an enemy. I love the artstyle of the show, where each turtle’s design is unique (compared to other shows where the only way I can tell them apart is by the color of their mask). I think it’s cool how the backstory is different from some of the other iterations, how the turtles were mutated on purpose and how Splinter used to be a famous actor. I think the yokai are awesome, how they’re like mutants but were there long before. I enjoy finding the little references, like the pictures of other TMNT shows on Donnie’s conspiracy board, or the fact that the source of yokai power is a Kraang.

I have so many questions left unanswered about the show, and I’m sure others do as well. I would love to see the return of Rise. I have no doubt that it would be awesome.

P.S. The comic I am referring to is by @somerandomdudelmao on Tumblr. I have no words to describe how much the comic means to me. Cass, if you’re reading this, thank you.

Rise bros x reader 😤 it's a Yokai party hosted by Sunita where mysterious stranger reader is checking out the turtle, and the turtle is looking back, and theirs tension all night until reader approaches and is super flirty until they inevitably have to leave, and the reader and gives their number and the turtles just like wow that just happened, smitten with this stranger 🙃👍💗💗 love your writing

I couldn’t help but notice you’re staring

summary: the turtles keep catching a stranger stealing glances at them all night

relationship: Rise Leo, Raph, Mikey, Donnie x GN reader (separate)

warnings: nothing really? i’m not even sure this counts as fluff lol

word count: 3186

A/N: the drummer ask hit a special spot in my heart because i was a drummer back in high school and it was the best :’) when i read it i immediately thought of a hidden city party setting, so when i got the yokai party one i thought they’d go perfect together! so i decided to combine them. hope i could make them both justice :D

(english is not my first language. constructive criticism and grammar corrections are very appreciated!)

— — —

After some exciting months at April’s school, Sunita decided to host a big farewell party, since her exchange programme came to an end.

It took place in the Hidden City, and there were humans and yokai guests alike.

The turtles were of course ecstatic that they could be at such a big party. Sunita had even invited a band to play some music later. And thanks to her dad, it was Hueso who was in charge of the catering, so the four brothers were very busy gulping down some of the best food they’d had in a while.

That was until one of them abruptly looked up and around, dismissing the food for a second. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched.

🔵 Leo

You were standing on the other side of the hall, the light from the disco ball on the ceiling painting colourful and spinny patterns on the floor. You leaned with your back on the wall, arms crossed, and your eyes watching that turtle with a blue bandana intently. Ever since his group entered the room, there was just something about him that made you focus all of your attention on him.

Leo sat at the table, scanning the crowd with a light squint, until his gaze fell on you. He gulped down the rest of his food at how intensely you were looking at him. The room wasn’t lit all too well but even so he could tell there was this air of confidence around you, he was slightly intimidated. Not to mention that you looked stunning.

Throughout the night, he felt like he was being watched, and every time he turned around, lo and behold, there you were. You could be chatting with your friends, laughing, and just as he turned around, you’d steal a glance at him and shoot him a smile.

When Leo went to the drinks table to get some juice, again he felt like he was being watched. As inconspicuous as he could, he turned around again, and a couple tables farther back, you were helping yourself to the donuts, and again you shot a glance his way.

It was driving him insane, to be honest. It was clearly an invitation to go talk to you, but for some reason, just the thought of approaching you made him super nervous.

Just as he finally gathered enough courage to make his way to you, he couldn't find you anywhere. He went to Mikey to ask him if he had seen you, but suddenly the lights were turned off.

One single spotlight showed someone on the stage, presenting the band. The crowd cheered, and Leo decided to enjoy the music, since he wouldn't be able to find you in the darkness either way.

The curtains opened to reveal a band of four, which apparently consisted of both yokai and humans, as far as he could tell. All members were wearing masks so he wasn’t entirely sure.

“One, two, three, four!” the drummer counted, hitting the drum sticks to mark the tempo, and the band started jamming. The crowd cheered and clapped; they were really good.

Leo was enjoying the music, when he noticed something strangely familiar about the drummer. The way they moved, it was so full of grace and passion; he couldn't help but be quite mesmerised at the sight.

After a couple of songs, the announcer said they’d be taking a break but coming back up later. Just as the curtains were closing, the drummer faced the crowd one last time, both drum sticks in one hand, and pointed at them. For everyone else it probably seemed like they were just pointing at the crowd in general, thanking them for being a good audience, but Leo knew they were pointing at him. And that’s when he recognised your jacket; you’re the one who had been looking at him all night, driving him crazy.

He went by the stage and waited for the band members to come out. You came out last, still with your mask on. Upon seeing him wait for you at the door, you took off the garment hiding your face.

“Hey Blue” you greeted the turtle in a sing-song voice. Leo was caught completely off-guard, you looked even better up close.

“So…” he started. “I’ve kinda been feeling eyes boring into the back of my head all night and was wondering what that was about.” He gave you his signature smirk, trying to seem unphased.

“Can you blame me? It’s not every day I come across a handsome turtle like yourself.”

Leo’s heart skipped a beat. Had he finally met someone to keep up with his banter? Just as he was to retort, the other band members called for you.

“Look, I’d love to catch up, but I gotta go. Here” you took a pen and a piece of paper out of your pockets and scribbled something on it. “Why don’t we meet after the second part of the show? Would love to get to know you better.” You winked at him, pressing the paper into his hands.

Before Leo could even answer, you were gone. He blinked twice, trying to understand what just happened. Looking at the paper in his hand, he saw a phone number and your name with a little heart next to it.

Well, this night just got a lot more interesting, he smiled to himself, already typing the number into his phone.

🔴 Raph

Looking around the crowd, Raph scanned the room with his eyes, until his gaze connected with yours.

You were sitting a couple of tables farther back, laughing at something your friend said, but you were looking at him. Or maybe just in his general direction? Raph shook off the paranoid feeling from before, and resumed to enjoy his food.

A couple of minutes later though, he felt the same again. Looking up from his plate, he looked in your direction once more, and there you were, head propped on your elbow, looking at him. With your other hand, you gave him a little wave. Your friends stole some glances his way as well and giggled, and you joined them.

Were you messing with him? You were pretty cute though. What was even happening.

Raph was very confused, to say the least.

Throughout the night, whenever he felt like he was being watched, somewhere nearby you were stealing glances at him, shooting him smiles, waves, and- was that a wink? Raph’s brain short-circuited. Just as Mikey was shaking him by the shoulders, asking what was wrong, the lights shut off to show the announcer on the stage.

When the curtains lifted, he immediately recognised you sitting at the drums. Mainly because you shot him another of your smiles, which by now he realised he actively seeked out.

He had thought you were cute before, but seeing you now jamming out to the music, being so fierce and intense, for some reason it added even another layer of cuteness in his eyes.

As the band finished playing their last song, as the announcer said, the crowd started cheering, asking for one more jam. The band members looked at each other and agreed. The audience cheered and clapped.

Just as they were getting into position to start one last song, the drummer called the singer to them, and whispered something in their ear.

“This one goes out to Big Red!” the singer said into the mic, and then they started playing.

Mikey, who was standing next to Raph, elbowed his side, wiggling his eyebrows at him.

“Stop it” Raph brushed his brother off, but blushed nonetheless. He hoped you weren’t able to see it from the stage (you did).

After the band was done playing, he tried to come up with a plan. He really wanted to talk to you, but how? When he asked Mikey, he got some advice from Dr. Feelings, which wasn’t all too practical to be honest. So he took a deep breath and decided to just go and talk to you normally.

He was nervous and a bit stiff, but he quickly found you in the crowd, talking to some fans, apparently. The other people scattered just as he stood in front of you, towering over you unintentionally. You didn’t seem the least bit scared though.

“Did you like that last song, Red?” you asked, looking up at him, batting your eyes.

“S-Sure did!” he sheepishly scratched the back of his neck. “You were really good on the drums.”

“Most important member of the team! I carry the others on my back…” you proudly said, pointing at your shoulders with both thumbs. “…so they can shine.”

“Yeah, I know that feeling” Raph said softly, thinking about how he wanted to support his brothers for them to reach their full potential.

“So…” he started again, looking away. “You’ve been kinda looking at me all night. Was there something you wanted to say?”

You smiled mischievously at him, taking out a folded piece of paper out of your pocket.

“There’s a lot I want to say but this isn’t the place. Why don’t we catch up later, Red?” you placed the paper in his hand, your touch lingering just a second longer than necessary, and left to reunite with your band.

Raph opened the paper in his hand to reveal your number and name. He clenched his fist with the paper in a feeling of success.

Like a boss, he complimented himself.

🟠 Mikey

Scanning the crowd with a “hmm”, he rubbed his chin and let his eyes wander over the people. His gaze stopped when it connected to someone else’s eyes.

Noticing that he had seen you, you smiled at him and gave him a little wave.

Mikey’s heart did a somersault. The way you were looking at him like he was a snack… Oh mi gosh, he thought to himself, and brought his focus back to his brothers and the food.

“What’s wrong, Mikey?” Raph asked, concerned. “Your face is super red.”

“Nothing!!” Mikey retorted. “Everything’s cool.”

“Right…”

Just as he was forgetting about you, once again immersed in the debate with Donnie about the best Hidden City pizza toppings, Leo elbowed his side.

“Bro” Leo said, almost in disbelief. “I think that person over there is checking you out.”

Mikey’s eyes followed to where Leo was pointing, and indeed he was right. There you sat, just a couple tables over, giving him a once over with a smile. You were clearly not trying to hide it.

Mikey’s face went red once more, and he turned around to avoid your gaze.

“Aw, baby brother. They grow up so fast.” Raph cooed. “Why don’t you go talk to them?”

“Isn’t the band about to play?” the orange turtle diverted the topic. “Let’s get closer to the stage!”

His brothers shared an amused look but agreed, and made their way to join the audience, already eagerly waiting.

As the announcer was on stage, Mikey looked around trying to find you in the crowd, but to no avail: you were nowhere to be seen. He wasn’t sure if he felt relieved or a bit disappointed.

The curtains lifted and the band stood in position to play. All members were wearing masks, and Mikey couldn't recognise anyone.

Their music was really good, and Mikey jammed out, playing air guitar and everything. The band played a couple of covers of well known songs as well, and he sang along to the lyrics he knew. When they were done, he was pretty out of breath, and cheered along with the rest of the crowd.

Just as the band was leaving the stage to take a break, the drummer lifted up the mask slightly, and made eye contact with Mikey, who was standing pretty close to the stage by now. Recognising that it was you from before, Mikey gave a shy wave, and you winked at him, leaving him a blushing mess yet again.

Leo was poking fun at him, when he saw you approach them from behind Mikey, and with one last jab of his elbow he left, calling a “Good luck~” over his shoulders.

Mikey tilted his head in confusion, but turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He came face to face with you, and blushed for the upteenth time that night.

Cute, you thought.

“So, rocker boy, I take it you enjoyed the music?” you asked, imitating his air guitar from earlier.

“Yeah, I did! You guys were great” he replied earnestly.

“Have you ever played a real guitar?” you asked, looking him up and down once more.

“Not really, I don’t play any instrument actually” Mikey said, avoiding your gaze and scratching his cheek in thought. Then his eyes found yours again. “But if I had to choose I think I’d go with the drums. They’re the coolest, if you ask me.”

“Well, you know I’ll agree to that!” you laughed. “Good thing I used this then and not the guitar or bass” you said, giving him your drumsticks.

“Wha-“ Mikey started but you cut him off, placing your other hand on his chest. “Just consider them a souvenir.”

You took a couple steps back, holding one fist to the side of your face, thumb and pinky finger stretched out, and mouthed ‘Call me’. Then you turned on your heels and joined your band members.

Mikey was left quite flabbergasted. What just happened?, he kept repeating in his head. That was until he looked at the drumsticks in his hands and noticed that you had written your name on one and your number on the other.

Maybe he’d ask you for some drumming lessons, after all.

🟣 Donnie

Donnie finished chewing the last bit of food he had in his mouth, scanning the crowd with a grumble. He was about to use his goggles, when his gaze fell on yours.

You were not too far away, pouring yourself a drink, but didn’t break eye contact with him. You merely smiled at him, bringing the drink to your lips and taking a sip, then turned around and joined your group of friends.

Donnie brushed it off as probably being in your line of sight for someone behind him, and brought his attention back to the food and the shenanigans of his brothers.

The whole night he kept feeling like he was being watched though. Every time he turned around, you were somewhere nearby, stealing glances at him. It was getting on his nerves. If you wanted something, why not just talk to him?

It must be the bad boy persona, he reasoned with himself. They’re clearly intimated but can’t keep their eyes from me, understandable.

After coming to that conclusion, he found himself actively seeking you out, trying to get your eyes to meet his, and give you a smug grin. You responded with a little wave and a smile every time. Lingering looks and shy smiles went back and forth, except for this time, when he was once again trying to be nonchalant about it, but it was obvious he was looking for you. So when he once again smiled and gave a little wave of his own, you looked him up and done once, smiled, but then bit your bottom lip. That took him off-guard. Had you been flirting this whole time? He just wanted to follow your little game. Wait, what-

The lights were shut off, and the announcer stood on the stage, presenting the band for the night. All four of them had masks on, making them hard to recognise or even tell apart.

Donnie however didn’t get too much about the first songs since in his brain he was running every possible scenario and calculation on what had happened, how it happened, and what to do the next time he’d catch you looking at him. Had he even caught you? Or did you let yourself be caught? Or was it actually him getting caught for looking at you?

He only came back to reality with an elbow jab from Leo, giving him a smug look, as the singer had just announced that the drummer wanted the next song to go out to “Handsome Purple”.

The show was over all too soon, before Donnie could formulate a solid plan in his head, and the crowd started to scatter after cheering.

He went to look for April; she was his best shot at making some sense out of this whole situation.

Just as he was about to take a step in her direction, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Thinking it was Leo again to make fun of him, he turned around with an unamused look. When he saw you, he was just surprised.

“Ah, the drummer” he said, seeing as you were holding your drumsticks in your hand.

“Did you enjoy the show?” you asked amused, since he clearly hadn’t recognised you.

“Yes, it’s not what I usually listen to but it was a nice change of pace. Could use some synthetiser though…” He added that last part under his breath.

“Is that so, Purple?” you asked and took off your mask. Donnie gasped in surprise.

“You…!” Pointing at you with an accusing finger, he tried to come up with something to say. “All night, you’ve been terrorising me, and…” His mouth opened and closed several times, but nothing else came out. You just laughed, not to make fun of him, but because you were amused by his reaction. Placing your hand on his, you pulled it down so he wasn’t pointing at you anymore. You didn’t remove your hand from his however.

“Me?” you asked, feigning innocence. “I’m pretty sure by the end it was you who was looking for me, hm?” You quirked one eyebrow up at him. “Guess you couldn’t keep your eyes off me, huh?”

“Scoff!” Donnie said and placed his other hand on his hip. The one you were holding he didn’t move to pull away. “It was you who started. Clearly it was you who couldn’t keep your eyes off all of this.” He gestured at himself. “And apparently your hands neither.” He smirked.

“Ah, you got me” you smiled at him. “Let me make it up to you, here.” You took out your phone, opening your contact list and adding a new one. For the name you wrote ‘Handsome Purple’.

“Care to share your digits? You strike me as a numbers person.” you asked him. Donnie said that you were indeed right, with a triumphant smile, and gave you his number.

Saving the contact, you put your phone away and said your goodbyes, since you had to meet up with your band for the next part.

“Ah, wait!” Donnie called when you were a couple of steps away. “I’m Donatello by the way, most call me Donnie. I didn’t catch your name?”

“My name is Y/n” you retorted and once again gave him a once over with mischievous eyes. “But you can call me whatever you like.”

Donnie x fem! Reader The little merturtle 2

Summary: Prince Donatello was the third of four brothers, the prince of an underwater yokai city, but he has always been searching for something else far more interesting than the mystic arts he is used to, he wants to know everything about the human world, their traditions, their creations... But when he finds himself entranced by a human princess it might just be the last push he needs to make his dream of exploring the land a reality.

"You started stirring slightly, your eyes fluttering open while you reached up to hold the scaly hand on your face, Donnie knew he had to leave immediately, he knew he should be back in the water, he couldn’t let you see him! But maybe…he wanted you to see him."

Warnings: Angst with a happy ending, tooth-rotting fluff

Curiosity killed the turtle

“Stand fast!” A sailor called out from up on the mast as the rain started to fall and most of the lights on the boat went out “Secure the riggin’!”

You bolted up from the edge of the boat where you were sitting and hurried to help the sailors who rushed about to avoid what the sudden storm could cause.

The next lightning bolt to hit the sky was too close for comfort and the waves grew wilder and more dangerous, you pulled ropes with all the strength you could muster, accumulated from your love of traveling the sea to secure everything.

Leo and Donnie were holding tightly to the ledge on the boat where they had been sitting when Mikey suddenly popped up on it “Woah! The wind’s all of a sudden on the move here! Yo!” he called loudly to his brothers before slipping and falling back on the water next to Raph.

“Donnie! Leo! Come back down here!” Raph called out from the water.

At that moment the boat moved wildly hit by a wave that enveloped it almost fully, making the sailors above lose their footing, you managed to make your way over to the helm and turn the wheel that had been left to turn on its own the other way around, attempting to keep the ship on course.

Donnie and Leo fell back on the sea, reuniting with their two brothers and they all watched as a lightning bolt hit the ship, instantly setting the sails and mast it hit on fire to the dismay of the crew above, unable to direct the ship it hit a huge rock, opening an enormous hole at the base of the boat and kicking most of its crew out of it, they fell into the water as did you with a scream, the statue of yourself submerging rapidly into the waters.

Casey swam along with some of the crew on the surface of the water when you called out for her and helped her up into one of the life-saver boats with some other sailors, you were grateful at seeing your friend safe on the boat when you heard a familiar barking coming from the ship and when you turned you realized Mayhem was still trapped in it and unable to get out due to the flames.

“Mayhem!” You yelled before recklessly, going back into the water and swimming your way back to the ship, climbing the stairs at the side and onto the deck, one of the masts however was unable to stand any longer, burnt and now falling in your direction, it crashed onto the deck, breaking the wood, you managed to avoid it just barely, but the fire made its way to the fireworks still saved down there.

You found your pet and called for Mayhem to come into your arms, it did, being caught by you but as you made your way out of the boat your foot went through one of the weakened planks, making you stumble and Mayhem fell out of your arms and into the water, Mayhem swam to safety but your foot was stuck on the deck, you desperately tried to pull it out but the flames finally engulfed the gunpowder and the boat exploded with you still inside and Casey screaming out your name from below in the small boat.

The four merturtles gasped in terror at the catastrophe but Donnie made his way to the remainders of the ship that were falling into the water, eyes wide with worry and Shelldon left behind with his brothers calling out to him.

Donnie looked around the surface, between the barrels, rope, and pieces of wood floating when finally he found you unconscious and falling off from a piece of wood into the water. He quickly submerged himself, swimming your way and taking you into his arms, pulling you back to the surface.

Donnie made his way to the shore with you in his arms, hoping that you were still alive against everything he’d seen happen.

His brothers, and Shelldon who now laid on Mikey’s shoulder, followed him silently from a little way behind, the shore wasn’t too close but by the time you’d reached it the sun was coming up and the storm was gone.

Green arms and a purple tail pushed themselves along the sand to make sure you wouldn’t be touched by the water if the waves increased, Donnie’s obsidian eyes looking at you and searching, worried that you might be dead, that your little crusade had been as bad as it had seemed from where he’d seen it.

With a hand he reached out to your neck and chest trying to find a pulse, hopefully, humans had the same tell-tale signs as most yokai to make sure they were okay, or he would have no idea what to do.

The merturtle sighed deeply in relief when he found a pulse and saw your chest rise up and down slowly, you were alive and you were breathing! He laughed in relief, running a hand over his face trying to calm down from the stress of the situation a moment ago.

He’d been so worried for a stranger, it wasn’t common for him, the less empathic of his siblings, to care so much about what happened to a stranger and yet he’d been the one of them to jump to your rescue impulsively, and for a human! Oh, he could already hear the enraged voice of his father in his mind, telling him how dangerous humans were.

But looking at you, laying there after what happened…you had worried about everyone on that ship, making sure they were safe before you yourself were, hell, you’d even gone back into an extremely dangerous situation, just to save your pet?! He couldn’t decide if it was just dumb or brave, considering where that had taken you, and yet he admired it, he’d admired your attitude during the situation, your determination.

But one thing he was sure of, you weren’t a monster or a barbarian, how could someone like you be everything his father claimed humans were?

His mind screamed at him that the way you had acted before was endearing, but he tried to keep those thoughts at the back of his mind, untouched, it was ridiculous, he should just leave now that he knew you were safe, Raph was probably in the middle of a panic attack by now.

Except when his hand left his face, and you were once again the sole focus of his stare, his heart trembled in his chest.

You were beautiful, he couldn’t help but compare you to the many yokai he’d seen, even the ones who’d been there to get his or his brother’s attention, there was a wide variation of yokai and merpeople around his life, but never had he been so entranced by someone as he was by you, even Leo had managed to catch onto that and Donnie hadn’t even defended himself to say otherwise, he couldn’t think of a way to deny it at the moment, despite how full of snark and biting retorts he usually was.

How could he? Was it just the craving for the unknown that made you so interesting to him? Your feat of bravery before where you had saved so many people and still gone back for your pet? Your wide-open smile as you danced so beautifully on the deck?

He remembered the twist he felt on his stomach when he’d heard you laugh.

The thoughts on the back of his mind that he was trying so hard to keep there –Because they were ridiculous, because he didn’t know you at all, because he had never been so attracted to someone and it scared him— burst out and he melted, with one hand reaching out to your face, his fingers trailing softly down your cheek.

He was ridiculous, but couldn’t he indulge in that ridiculousness for just a moment? Just a moment to indulge himself in his lifelong fantasies of being on land, and just maybe enjoying that with you, how bad could that be?

“What wouldn’t I give to live up top? Right here in your world” He mumbled wistfully “To learn everything there is to learn, maybe…you’d guide me? You could show me and teach me…”

Vaguely he thought of April, dear April who had a limit on what she could teach him, cursed long ago by his father to limit their interactions though they’d found some loopholes.

“You’re a princess after all, if anyone knows the land, wouldn’t that be you?” He asked thoughtfully “If I could walk, if I could run, if I could spend all day in the sun…would you smile at me?” A tiny smile made its way into his face, Donnie was ignorant of his brothers laying on a couple of rocks and looking at him with extreme surprise.

Mikey had stars in his eyes, finding the situation so romantic! Leo had a smile on his face, but it was weary, and worried, a frown on his brow for he had never seen his twin act like that, and when he did it was with a human? Leo thought sadly –while glancing at his older brother who looked panicky and borderline angry at the interaction— that this could only end in tragedy.

You started stirring slightly, your eyes fluttering open while you reached up to hold the scaly hand on your face, Donnie knew he had to leave immediately, he knew he should be back in the water, he couldn’t let you see him!

But maybe…he wanted you to see him.

And through this war in his head, you opened your eyes, lidded, and looking back at him with the sun on his back stopping you from seeing much more than a silhouette.

“What would I give to know more of your world…of you” the thought slipped his lips as he got lost in your eyes.

The moment didn’t last, Donnie heard Mayhem making his way to where you were, followed closely by Casey who called your name, and finally, his common sense kicked in, quickly he made his way back to the ocean, disappearing under the water before he could be seen by them.

You raised your head enough to see Donnie’s tail disappear into the water when Mayhem reached you and started licking your face, you couldn’t get your eyes off the sea, off the place where he had just disappeared, Casey reached you, a rare smile wide on her face as she saw you, safe.

“Oh, Y/N, you surely delight in the sadistic strain to my blood pressure, don’t you?” she asked, helping you up, you held your head, feeling a throbbing pain make its way quickly onto it.

“A-a guy saved me,” You said, your eyes opening more as you stared out at the sea, ignoring Casey’s words as you tried to put the puzzle pieces together “he…he was talking to me” you claimed, getting out of Casey’s grasp and walking closer to the water, your heart was beating rapidly and you couldn’t tell if it was because of the lack of oxygen you had experienced.

Bam, it hit you, like lightning.

It had been mostly a joke when you’d said so at first, how you would find the right guy, but you knew you would be able to tell, you could just tell “He had the most beautiful voice…” You swooned before your knees started giving out of you from the catastrophe you had just endured.

Casey held you in her arms, chuckling slightly “Ma’am, I think you swallowed a bit too much seawater, off we go” she said, helping you stand with an arm around her shoulders “Come on Mayhem.” She finished guiding you back to the castle and you didn’t say much else, but you couldn’t keep the voice of your savior out of your mind.

Said savior still watched you, along with his brothers from behind one of the rocks on the shore, his heart that had already endured so many twists and turns that day only beating that much harsher at your words, he had been selfish in wanting you to see him, but your reaction to it, to his voice, made him want to scream in joy, his tail making rapid movements under the water, stimming in the overwhelming emotions he was feeling.

“We just gonna forget this whole thing happened, got it?” Raph asked making a closing motion with both arms “Pops will never know! You won’t tell him” He said pointing at Mikey and Leo firmly “I won’t tell him, and nothing ever happened!” He finished confidently before his gaze ended up back on Donnie who wasn’t listening at all with a dreamy expression on his face.

Donnie raised himself up further on the rock, his eyes never leaving your form, his little indulgence had opened the gates for something he couldn’t stop anymore “I don’t know when or how but somehow I’ll find a way to explore the land, to explore the human world” He claimed with a soft grin “Just you wait, one day I’ll be part of your world” he finished softly ignoring the various looks on his brother’s faces, probably even forgetting he wasn’t alone.

His determination had never been greater, it felt so real, so close, so doable even if he didn’t have a method at all, the possibility had never felt this way, like he just had to do it, to finally follow his dreams regardless of what anyone said.

Because how could a world that had raised you be so terrible?

However, none of the turtles noticed the two sets of eyes following them closely, Huginn and Muninn showing their master through their eyes all that had just happened.

Big Mama giggled “Oh no no no no no, I can’t stand it, it’s too easy!” She said thrilled with Draxum smirking beside her “The boy is in love with a human! And not just any human, a princess!” Big Mama laid herself down with a terrible grin on her face “Oh isn’t this just ironic, Lou will just love that.”

Draxum spoke “And his brothers, so loyal, would surely do anything for their dear brother to avoid the terrible fate that you have probably already concocted for him” he hummed, a smirk growing on his face as he made a couple of vines bring him some glass bottles, glowing in a scary fuchsia and green “Like let’s say, their freedom?”

A couple of days later, Leo, Mikey, and Raph were hanging around their living room, Mikey playing around with some seashells, trying to find a way to stick them together, Leo staring at himself in the mirror and Raph looking at a curtain of seaweed.

“Donnie! Come out, you’ve been there all morning” Raph called out at the curtain, sure already that his brother had probably not slept much, as usual.

Donnie emerged from the curtains humming softly, no groans, no smart retorts, no frown on his forehead.

Raph would have worried way less if he had done any of those things.

Leo and Mikey looked at each other knowingly when Donnie just took a flower from a rock and started playing with its petals, not in the way he’d normally examine and study his plants, just, gazing at it and floating away.

Donnie bumped into their father then “Oh whoops, morning pops” he said jovially before leaving them all behind, the flower in his hand suddenly forgotten and floating right there as he left the room, humming once again.

“Oh, he’s got it bad” Leo chuckled.

Splinter looked at his son questioningly “What? What does purple got?” He asked, Leo’s eyes widened, and his grin was tense as he realized what he had just done.

He was about to change the subject when Mikey, bless his heart, who hadn’t noticed Raph making panicky attempts behind their dad for him to shut up spoke “Oh isn’t it obvious dad? Donnie’s in love!” Mikey said happily to the dismay of his brothers.

“Purple? In love?” Splinter grinned wide, believing that out of his sons, the one colored purple would be the last of them to ever experience such a feeling, Splinter could already hear wedding bells!

Raph and Leo glared at Mikey as their dad left and they quickly made their way to Donnie who was resting on a rock by the reef, deep in thought as he looked up, ideas running through his mind.

“Donnie—” Raph called out only to be interrupted by Donnie who was now sitting straight and looking at his brother with a grin.

“I have to see her again, tonight!” He stated with a firm nod like it was just a clear fact “April knows where the castle is, she can tell me if there’s a water source nearby.”

“Donnie!” Raph called exasperated while his brother swam around still speaking of plans.

“I mean of course I need to know more about her, it would be stupid to expect anything to flourish from two people who don’t know one another, it’s imperative that we meet multiple times for a crush to develop into something more solid.” Donnie nodded, continuing his rant to himself.

“Will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs?” Raph asked putting a hand on Donnie’s shoulder.

And still, Donnie wasn’t listening “I’ll swim up to the castle, then Shelldon will splash around to get her attention, or maybe he can walk over to her, though it would take much longer, but it’d be a softer approach, and then we’ll go—”

“Down here is your home!” Raph groaned angrily, placing himself in front of Donnie to finally stop him “Donnie listen to me, the human world is a mess! Life under the sea is better than anything they have up top.”

Mikey and Leo pulled Donnie to sit back on the rock while their elder brother tried to make a point.

“Goin’ up there would just be a big mistake, just look around you, Donnie! Isn’t the hidden city already interesting enough? Life for yokai up there is unheard of, they chase us, they kill us, the world up there is dry and boring, magicless and strict” Raphael attempted the convincing, Donnie rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, looking at his brother like he wanted to say something “They work all day up there, under the sun just slaving themselves while we have every resource we need to just chill all day”

“Maybe I don’t want to just ‘chill’ all day” Donnie grumbled under his breath.

“Life is sweet here, full of variety while the humans can’t understand anything but themselves.”

As his brother kept up his lecture, Mikey nudged Leo’s side and though he was apprehensive Leo eventually nodded, unwilling to listen to more of Raph’s lecture, they both whispered at Donnie to follow them and the three left quietly without the eldest noticing.

“You see Donnie? You already have so many things you love down here! The balls held at the castle and the botanic garden under the—” When Raph turned around, he noticed there was no one listening there anymore and he sighed “somebody’s gotta nail his tail to the ground” he grunted”

“Your Highness! Your Highness!” A little seahorse called out to Raph.

“Woah, hey, what’s up buddy?” he asked while the seahorse recovered from his hurry.

“I’ve been looking all over for you, I’ve got an urgent message from the king, he wants to see you right away! Something about Donatello” The seahorse scrambled away once again leaving Raph gasping loudly.

“He knows” Raph lamented in panic.

At the castle, King Splinter looked at the flower his son had left behind, chuckling while he thought “Let’s see now, who could the lucky yokai be to have gotten the attention of my son with the highest standards of all?” He hummed “Hmm it has to be someone of high class of course” Splinter nodded wisely before noticing Raphael at the entrance of the throne room.

“My son! Come here, come” He signaled and the merturtle made his way over to the king, slowly and fumbling with his fingers.

“Okay Raph, ya can’t overreact, stay calm man” He whispered to himself, directing a big unnatural grin to his father “Heeeey pops! How’s it going?”

Splinter was thankfully too distracted to notice and continued “Yes, Red, I’m concerned about Purple, like you boys saw in the morning, daydreaming, humming to himself, and I am sure you boys know the person in question for this attitude of his, hmm?”

“Oh, well, I—”

“Raphael…” Splinter dragged “I know you boys are trying to keep it from me, it is okay my son, what you are hiding about your brother, you can tell me can’t you?”

What to Splinter was reassurance in case they were worried about his reaction to the love interest –maybe it was a merman instead of a mermaid? He wouldn’t judge his son for that— to Raph sounded like he was being coerced into telling the truth of what he already knows, and Raphael was a bad liar, he folded.

“Raph tried to stop him pops! But he wouldn’t listen, even when Raph told him humans were dangerous, they are bad, they’re trouble! You’ve told me stories so many times, but Donnie, he is just so smitten—”

“Humans?” Splinter raised his voice face directly in front of his son “What about humans?!”

And Raph realized he’d messed up badly.

The three other merturtles were making their way to the cave Donnie had made his sanctuary, Mikey and Leo stopping at the entrance dramatically.

“So, what is this? GASP, no, did you guys rearrange my treasures again?” Donnie groaned trying to swim past them, but Mikey blocked him.

“Now Donald, why would we do that?” He asked innocently and Leo snorted.

“Yeah, why would we do that after going almost deaf the last time? How ungrateful” Leo said rubbing the slit where his hearing canal was.

“Then what is this all about?” Donnie asked, arms crossed.

“Well,” Mikey dragged out “we got you a little something, just, close your eyes?”

Donnie sighed but reluctantly complied, trying to peak slightly but being covered by Mikey’s hand as he guided him inside the cave, the sound of the rock sliding back closed behind him was heard before Mikey finally let go.

“Okay, open them!”

Donnie complied and his eyes went immediately wide with surprise, right in front of him, illuminated delicately by the beam of light entering the cave from above was your statue, the statue left behind from the wreckage of the ship that night, It was almost true to size and he relished in how beautifully it presented you, heroic and determined like you had been that night, though it lacked your smile.

“Ta-dah!” Shelldon said swimming around the figure of the statue “Isn’t this cool dude?”

“You guys did this?” Donnie asked in surprise, turning to his orange-coded brother who chuckled before responding.

“Well, I did have the idea to bring it here, but Leo’s the one who found it, oh and Shelldon supervised” Mikey nudged the blue-coded one who rubbed the back of his neck while Shelldon nodded.

“Yeah well, even though I don’t want to, ya know, indulge this impossible romance—yeouch!” Leo rubbed his arm where Mikey had just hit him before rolling his eyes and smirking lazily at his purple brother “Okay fine, I went looking for it, happy?” he directed the last part at Mikey “I thought you’d probably like to have something from her.”

Donnie grinned wide at his two brothers, hesitating for a second, not knowing what to say and surprised that they would have done something like this, especially Leo whom he’d expected to just be downright teasing about the whole thing.

Which, he hadn’t been, at all, it had been a couple of days after the shipwreck and not a chirp had come out of Leo in the meantime, Donnie found it weird but was grateful for the temporary peace, so he returned the favor not saying anything and just turned back to the statue.

“It looks just like her, it even has her eyes” Donnie smiled, committing every detail of the statue to memory “Of course, a statue made out of rock can’t be perfect but the artist definitely knew what they were doing, her beauty was well captured” he was chuckling slightly, turning around to look at his brothers when he caught sight of who was behind them, he gasped in horror at the sight of his father, right there in his secret treasure cove “Papa?”

Splinter looked angry, angrier than he’d ever seen and Donnie wanted to curl into himself at the sight, Shelldon did hide behind your statue and Donnie briefly noticed that Raph was right behind his father “I consider myself to be a reasonable yokai” Splinter spoke in a low and dangerous tone, the voice was sending chills through Donnie’s shell and he unconsciously swam back a bit “I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed” Before Donnie could even mutter an answer Splinter continued “Is it true you rescued a human from drowning?” “I had to—!”

“Contact between the human world and the mer-world is strictly forbidden! Donatello, you know that! Everyone knows that!”

“She would have died!” Donnie cried out.

“One less human to worry about!” Splinter spat.

“You don’t even know her! How can you make yourself the judge and executioner of a whole entire race?!” Donnie said exasperated, tears welling in his eyes.

“I don’t need to know her! Spineless, savage, harpooning yokai eaters, if they can judge lives so different from theirs why can’t I do the same? I at least know more about them than they know of us!” Splinter spoke loudly, waving his trident around.

“How would you?!” Donnie yelled.

“Because I was human once!” Splinter yelled out, the sound of gasps resounding through the cave as the four brothers looked at their father with eyes open wide.

“W-what?” Donnie had heard the rumor, hell the whole castle had heard it, but it was the dumbest thing he and his brothers had ever heard, or that’s what he had thought his whole life.

Splinter sighed, running a hand through his fur before speaking again “Long ago I was an important figure in the human world, I had everything until I was tricked by someone I loved” Splinter frowned deeply “I was used as a source of entertainment for humans, surrounded by only violence, but even then I didn’t hate them, it wasn’t until I was turned into this, trying to save four lives from a mad-man where I realized who was truly on my side.” Splinter signaled to them, making it clear who those four lives were. “The moment I took this appearance everyone I thought I could trust turned their back on me, worse than that, they chased me, tried to capture me calling me a monster, the humans who knew about the yokai hidden in the sea made weapons and ways to get rid of them however possible, their whole race, celebrating those who would show up with the skin of a yokai as a hero” Mikey looked like he was about to throw up, Donnie looked horrified and Splinter softened “Everything I’ve done is only to protect you from them, that human you saved may have been grateful the moment she breathed, but once she realizes who saved her she won’t look at you as a hero but a monster.”

Splinter tried to reach out for Donnie, but Donnie shook his head violently, unwilling to believe that was true “But I love her!” His words stumbled out and the moment they did Donnie blanched while his brothers gasped loudly or looked at him scared.

Splinter looked enraged once again “Is that true? Is that truly whom you were sighing for?” He asked disbelievingly “Have you lost your mind?! She’s a human! You’re a Merturtle!”

“I don’t care” Donnie managed to say, his head hanging low but his frown firm.

“So help me, Donatello! I am going to get through to you” The king raised his trident up, the weapon shining brightly as he wielded it “And if this is the only way, so be it” The trident’s light engulfed the cave and was pointed straight to a globe which shattered in pieces, hit by its power.

“NO!” Donnie screamed at his father; Mikey rushed over to his side to hold him while the tears finally spilled from Donnie’s eyes.

Splinter pointed his trident the other way, hitting more of Donnie’s treasures, accumulated from ages since he was but a child, they blew up in little pieces, others melting in their place, losing their form completely, Leo rushed over to his father with wild worried eyes.

“Dad, stop! You know you’ll regret it later!” He tried calling but his father didn’t speak, hitting with bolts more of the treasures, Raph looked terrified at the destruction and Donnie kept calling out for him to stop.

Donnie got out of Mikey’s grasp and reached his father, trying to stop his arms as they pointed the trident over to the statue of you “Dad, please! Don’t!”

The bolt hit its mark directly and it crumbled from the inside, the whole of it in dust, tiny crumbly pieces devoid of form or sense falling through the cove.

It felt like all his hopes and dreams had just been shattered right before him, it almost was so in a sense, everything Donnie had ever longed for and the idea of you in the first place, gone in only an instant, he crumbled to the floor of the cove, his palms covering his eyes tightly as a sob wracked its way through his throat.

His brothers floated there uselessly, looking at the wreck that was made of their brother and avoiding their father’s eyes as he made his way out of the cove, not without turning back to look at his son once before leaving.

It sometimes bothered Splinter how on mark Leonardo usually was, he thought as regret started filling his body, but he continued, thinking the harshness would at least keep his family safe.

Raph felt the worst of all, nearing Donnie slowly to apologize “Donnie, I—”

“Just go away” Donnie gritted through his teeth “go away goawaygoaway” he rushed his words out angrily, his face still deep into the palms of his hands, Donnie knew the moment he looked up he would tear out his frustrations on his older brother, screaming, thrashing violently, and why wouldn’t he? It had been Raph’s fault in the first place that his father had found out at all, Donnie thought bitterly.

Raph winced visibly and lowered his arm from reaching out to his brother, he glanced up at the other two, who looked conflicted but knew better than to overwhelm Donnie with their presence at that moment, they followed Raph, who looked defeated, out of the place, leaving Donnie to process his feelings himself.

Shelldon though, stayed behind, close to the cove for when Donnie was ready to come out.

Donnie wasn’t as alone as he’d thought he was though, two pairs of eyes staring intently at his form, knowing that this was the chance they had been waiting for.

It had been a few days since she moved in, and the breakdown in her room. So far, she had been adjusting well, And Usagi was out most of the time, which was a plus. She didn't have to see that stupid rabbit for a week after the move-in. He was out getting intel on the turtles. She didn't mind. It gave her time to be alone with the thoughts that consumed her mind. She supposed it wasn't healthy to marinate in hurtful words, but maybe she deserved it. After all, it wasn't as if what she was doing would be a good thing. She sighed, deciding to get up off the couch and go out. Some fresh air might clear her head. She grabbed her hood, grabbed the portal Key Mama had given her and opened a portal to the human streets, where she began scaling a building. It was peaceful up here, the sky was cloudy, dark and gloomy as the hint of a downpour clung to the winds. She jumped from building to building until She made it to a recluse little rooftop, no one in sight. She dropped soundlessly onto the concrete beside what seemed to be a pool, her eyes gleaming in joy as she slowly surveyed her surroundings before dipping into the cool water. It felt nice against the smooth green of her skin, the scales shimmering with the glistening liquid that soon covered her. She slowly sunk deep under the water, she sat on the bottom of the pool just relishing in the complete silence that surrounded her. It was nice. Her thoughts seemed to wash away with the waves that pushed against her as she swam around in the pool. Being a turtle had its perks, she could stay under the water for a lot longer than a normal human, and she swam better because Of the skin and shell she had. Her tail wagged as she relished the feeling of blowing bubbles under the water and watching them float up to the surface. She didn't know how long she stayed under, but by the time she pulled to the surface, the clouds Had disputed and All that was left in their wake was a beautiful starry sky. She shivered as the cold air fell on her shoulders. She got out, grabbed her cloak from where she'd thrown it and began fasting it to her shoulders, cuddling into The warmth it provided her. She began the walk back to her home only to stop when she caught a glimpse of red blue purple and orange. She stopped in a trance as she scanned the roofs with narrowed eyes in hopes of catching another look and hoping it wasn't just her eyes playing tricks on her. She pulled her hood further down as she started in the direction she saw them disappear. She froze when she came across a fight scene. Four turtles, all varying in size, the ones she had caught a glimpse of from where she was on the rooftop, stood around what looked like a giant hippo yokai who was firing floating rings at them. She slipped down a fire escape to get a better look, still sticking to the shadows. They seemed to be very good at fighting from what she could tell she slowly slid to her knees, peeking Through the metal bars that kept her from falling forward as the blue one summoned up a portal(she didn't even know you could do that) from the tip of his sword, blue swirls coming to life as it formed the familiar glow of a portal she had seen mama use once or twice. But this one was different, it was blue, matching his mask's colour. She gasped as what looked like a giant red fist projection of the big one came barreling through the portal, landing a hit right in the back of the hippo's head.

“Ah! You pesky turtles! Always interfering with my plans! Well, I'll show you what happens when you mess with a magician's magic trick” the hippo growled, summoning more rings that were bigger to come raining down on the four. The big one smacked them away from them with his big red hand, sending them flying. Right in the direction of Renai. Crap. She yelped as she jumped back, cursing as the turtles looked in her direction. She almost fell off the railing with how quickly she ducked behind a compost bin that conveniently sat on her. Luckily, they all shrugged off the sound thanks to the enemy using the distraction as a point to attack the brothers. She let out a shaky breath as she slowly glanced over the compost bin. Thank god, but she had to be more careful...

“Where have you been?” The harsh tone called from in the black room as Renai slowly slipped back in from her night adventures. She yelped, heart dropping as the clatter of her weapon jostling against her hip filled the room followed by her clumsily tripping over her own feet as he startled her by His sudden appearance. She turned around to glance at him, cowering in the gaze that greeted her, feeling a sense that she was in trouble.

“Heyyyyyy usagi” she chuckled nervously, slowly dropping to the ground and turning to shut the window behind her.

“Don't 'hey usagi’ me. You weren't supposed to go out yet. And especially not without me! God, do you want Mama to kill me?” Usagi began lecturing, eyes narrowing in concern and anger as he stood up from where he was sitting, Furiously tapping his foot. Flinching away from the gaze She slowly slipped past him to head to the kitchen.

“Listen. I'm fine! You don't have to badger me, I don't need you to babysit me! I'm 12 years old! I'm practically a grown-up” She huffed as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge, taking a huge gulp of the cool liquid. Usagi furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.

“That's just it. Your 12! You shouldn't be alone, especially in this city! Do you know just how many enemies Big Mama has!? You could've gotten hurt!” Renai slammed the fridge closed, turning to glare at the rabbit.

“I can take care of myself. In case you've forgotten, I am the battle nexus champion. My whole life has been a battle to survive. This city is child's play compared to the battle nexus.” she growled as she sauntered away to her room in anger. Usagis's face fell as he remembered what he had heard yesterday through the door. He Inhaled slowly, tears welling in his eyes.

“I'm sorry” he whispered, causing Renai to stop in her tracks, breath hitching as she turned swiftly to glare at him.

“What?” She scoffed, crossing her arms as she felt her cat rub against her leg. Usagi bit his lip, foot still Violently tapping as his mood shifted to one of anxiety.

“I'm sorry,” he said a little clearer, rubbing his hand nervously on the back of his head. “I…I didn't realize how much you've been through. I just want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. I…I was also in the battle nexus. I know how gruelling it was, and you? You were only a child! You shouldn't have been put through that.” He huffed, looking at her with a sorrowful look. Her face blanked As she processed his words. What? Why was he apologizing? Didn't he hate her? Lots of people did so She had just assumed-

“Why?” Her voice cut coldly into the warm atmosphere, the tone unnervingly monotone. Usagi shivered as he blinked In confusion.

“Huh?” He slowly dropped his hands down to rest at his sides, tilting his head at the younger kappa.

“Why are you being so…nice? I thought you…I thought you hated me.” She spat as her face became unreadable, emotions becoming too much for her to express. Usagi’s face fell in anguish

“What?” He whispered, Slowly creeping forward to the younger Turtle as he placed his furry hand on her shoulder “Hate you? Never. Sure, I like teasing you but hate you? Why would you think-” A look of realization fell on him followed by a look of sorrow. Now he felt even more bad. Had he come off as hating her? Shit. He needed to fix this. “I'm…sorry if my banter came off as hating you… I…I see you as A younger sibling, I didn't mean anything by those words. I'll refrain from that if that makes you happy” he softly spoke as he watched renais closed-off expression melt. For the first time, she was feeling something other than the hate she had thought was clouded around her. She felt her chest tighten as tears slipped from her eyes. She furiously wiped At them as she frowned.

“thank you” she sniffled as she felt Usagi pull her into a hug, he slowly ran a warm hand up and down her back to comfort the kid. She shivered at the feeling of his fingers on her shell, whimpering at the touch, he stopped at the sound, moving his hand away as he frowned in Concern.

“S-sorry…should've asked…” he muttered as he slowly backed away from Renai, who sniffled and made grabby hands for him.

“No…its…fine…I like your hugs, fluff ball” she joked trying To lighten the mood despite the tears that glistened on her striped cheeks. Usagi rolled his eyes, pushing her away.

“Ok, that's enough hugs for you then” Renai whined as Usagi stood up, crossing her arms and huffing in sullen anger.

“Boo”

___________________________________________________________

usagi and renai's relationship is completely platonic, please don't interpret it as anything else I will cry lol. anyways thanks for reading:D

So I forgor who said this (I think it was @garrison-of-leaves?), but someone brought up the fact that Agent 8 likely moved in with Off The Hook, and I would like to contribute to this:

Captain 3 also lives there, but more so because they were fucking miserable without their emotional support cephalopod

Pearl and Marina thought it was cute, so now the four of them live together

Also probably Acht now, though I feel like they don’t take up any space, similar to Hidabat in the YoKai Watch anime, so basically they live in Marina’s closet, which they have slowly and impossibly started to expand into a whole warehouse.

Oh god now I wanna make an edit of Acht with this image

#splatoon #splatoon 3 #agent 8 #splatoon 2 #captain 3 #off the hook #pearl houzuki #marina ida #acht #acht splatoon #side order splatoon #octo expansion #I also really wanna make Acht sipping at ramen noodles

One Piece Chapter 1110 - Initial Thoughts

FINALLY

The five have landed, and TCB had the audacity to not translate until late Friday, making us wait so long, but we're finally here, so let's not waste any more time.

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too

Our cover story is a Yamato story, he's off to travel Wano just as Oden did, which he tells Momonosuke in this cover. Given the name, I'd expect that he may cross paths with Onimaru since it'll involve an Inari shrine

How ominous a title to have with 'Planetfall' too

The buster call watches on as it notices the similar effects to Saturn's arrival, Bluegrass seems particularly disturbed

The giants sense it too, with Bonney and Franky left to worry about the others

Vegapunk's broadcast involved showing off 'Vega-Coffee', which essentially is something that turns water into coffee

That ad break lasted 3 minutes, so there's still 7 minutes left

Marejois meanwhile is empty though, only the summoning circle appears

But Vegapunk is starting anyway, with the threat that the broadcast could be intercepted it's better to hasten

And finally we got the Gorosei fruits and it all seems to be Zoans, mainly Yokai

Saturn of course is the Gyuki, as we suspected from the design

Marcus Mars is an Itsumade, the 'Eerie bird'. According to research "Saw-like beak" and "talons as sharp as swords"

Topman Warcury is a Houki, not much info on it but that it's a Four Tusked Boar from China

Arguably the most badass design is Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, the Bakotsu. The skeletal horse is a vengeful spirit seeking revenge for being burned to death

And finally Shepherd Ju Peter, the only non-Yokai is a Sandworm. Because Oda definitely watched Dune recently

As Luffy stands down the Five Elder Planets, Sanji rushes off with Vegapunk's corpse ready to warn Nami and the others

V. Nusjuro is first to make a move, turning into a Centaur-like hybrid form as he lays waste to the Mark III pacifista surrounding the island

He was so quick that no Marine saw it either, only catching a faint image of a horse

Not even damaged, partially frozen, their 'neural circuitry' was frozen so he may've cut into their souls

I wonder if this could be a level Brook can attain

Mars is also on the move, but he's going up high

Sanji contacts Nami, telling them to get out now, soon enough Mars charges into the barrier

Luffy continues to dodge on the back foot against Saturn with Ju Peter and Warcury on the outskirts, but he notices that Ju Peter is burrowing

Usopp contacts Sanji, they're ready to leave but Zoro and Jinbe aren't here

The Sunny is safe and sound, but despite Brook's calmness he's getting his shins kicked by Lilith, who reminds him that the Sunny's only safe because of Usopp's bamboo shoots

Jinbe makes his way to Zoro, being within eyeshot

Zoro meanwhile finds himself slightly disarmed by Lucci, who taunts Zoro over his curiosity over the new sources of strong Haki

As Jinbe notes that they're still fighting, Sanji makes an off-comment, calling him a burden

Zoro has been ACTIVATED

Catching the sword that was disarmed, Zoro uses Santoryu against Lucci's leopard spots for the quick KO

The Chapter Notes point out that he references Hahava, the coldest hell of Buddhism

Plot demanded Zoro finish late, so finally Zoro has finished

Luffy meanwhile has been caught lacking, as the Sandworm comes for a bite

Dorry and Brogy have arrived though, much like they did in Little Garden (well one of them) they cut the gullet before Luffy can be swallowed

Luffy is glad to see some old friends, but now the numbers are a little more even

Well the Gorosei are definitely not weaklings

Terrifying creatures all in their own rights, they definitely set themselves up as powerful foes. Makes you wonder though what Imu could be if this is the base line huh?

There seems to be a bit more lines to draw this time around; with V. Nusjuro circling the island down below he may find himself crossing the Giants' ships, meaning Franky, Bonney, Atlas and maybe Sanji, Oimo and Kashii will likely have to confront him. Up above we have Mars looking to break through to the Labophase, which he likely will, leading to the crew having to find an opening there; Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Chopper, Robin, Jinbe and Brook plus Lilith is a greater numbers advantage, but Mars may also use the Seraphim if he's wily, does not look good for the CP agents, York and Kaku though, hope the first and latter got out safe.

Which leaves Luffy and the giants facing down Saturn, Ju Peter (I doubt he's dead) and Warcury. I could sadly see the captains not making it out, or holding off 3 so to get Luffy out. Let's not forget that Kizaru can always pull himself back into it (I hope Sentomaru also escaped). Plus there's still the matter of Vegapunk's broadcast itself.

It's not gonna be clean or pretty, but thinks are gonna get chaotic in the best and the worst way.

ok im unexpectedly sleepy but i keep seeing seperated aus for rottmnt and heres who i think should go to who based on the best possible outcomes for all children involved, the angst starts after they meet alright? anywho:

first up donnie, idk why we like to torture him with draxum WHEN HIS FATHER IS RIGHT THERE. yes i know science/alchemist combo hed be unstoppable but

a) his dad thinks hes the funniest

b) donnie really craves attention from splinter already in canon, you can play with splinter being more intentive with his son but not showing it in a way that donnie clocks

c) i think splinter was very overwhelmed with having four sons all the sudden on top of himself being mutated hed probably be able to handle the stress better and therefore provide in ways he was tried but ultimately failed in

d) i dont think the lair without donnie would exist the way it does in canon

e) friendship with april (since its implied or at least has been so fancanonized that those two were friends first)

raph, clearly cassandra or the foot clan. not much explanation other than hed be really fiercely trained, yet i can see him realistically retain all of his canon cuddlieness. theres an ongoing fight between him and the paper origami method, he respects it but stuffies for life man. also i think him and cassandra deserve to be besties <3

mikey i think obviously matches up with draxum.

a) as in canon and other shows, hes actually more skilled than everyone else so im gonna say its gonna be tough for him but hed see through draxum's training with ease

b) hes itty bitty and could and already has melted draxums heart+he was co-raised by the gargoles. he is a master of steering draxum down the right path. except maybe that path may be a cooler path, not a righteous path. mikey reminds me of my sister and i think my sister would be the one to end up on some kind of watch list

c) master of emotions, could see him getting his brothers back together. enough said

leo's a little harder. everyone puts him under big mama but i think hed honestly be really miserable underneath her. i dont think shed be a good mom at all, which is why i recommend señor hue-SIKE CAPITÁN PIEL

a) in canon leo is actually kinda sus in the morality department. he cut warren in half on instinct and then immediately claim it was because he was on his head, definitely aimed for the kill on draxum, etc. he would totally be fine being a pirate

b)connection to señor hueso thats not immediately direct, i think it better he makes the bone man warm up to him.

c) knows everything about everyone on a side of the yokai world that you wouldn't get from stationary big mama yet also keeps him outta sight of draxum.

d) leo in a pirate shirt honestly, i just really liked his outfit

e) would fit with his dramatics

#rottmnt

Yokai AU. chapter one... (kinda, I'll prob remake it after I have the designs out and more figured out)

WARNINGS (for all chapters): GORE, mentions of abuse, abuse, experimentation, mentions of trauma, uncanon relationships, uncanon world and aged up characters.

Relationships: slow burn SONADOW, Knuxouge, kittails, Espilver, Vectnilla, Leosagi and others.

Other info, I'm not even joking Yokai Watch is my savior for what to call the Yokai, watch it, its such a cool show.

As the Sky Falls Over Us.

New York, a city that always crowded, bright and loud, the city that never slept and most importantly, home of the Ninja Turtles! a team of four teenage turtle mutants that went by the names of Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo and Michealanglo, heroes of the world.

The team of turtles sat atop a building, 'scouting' and defiantly not messing around while the oldest's chasm grew larger, "We're on a MISSION, not a jungle gym" Raphael spoke, sounded a bit agitated as Leo poked the soft shell's cheek, pausing and looking at Raph for good measure. "Relaxxxxx~ no one has been in trouble since we took out the Kraang, chillax, your Chasm only gets bigger~" Leonardo teased, giving a smug look to the eldest Mutant. Donatello pushed Leo's hand away with a mechanical claw, "BUT, something could happen! and you didn't even bring your battle shell! that took hours!" Leo scoffed, "my shell is FINE! I do not need it, I appreciate the work, hermano, I really do, but there's no trouble" Donnie sighed.

During the Kraang's attack Leonardo's shell had been messed up really bad... everything had. The shell and plastron protects all vital organs so it being weak and fragile made Raphael worry, it made everyone worry, except the turtle himself, who refused to lay on his back and winced visibly when it was touched. Of course, as the genius the soft shell turtle was, he made a perfect fit battle shell, not as complex as his own but stronger and more cushioned on the inside than his, not like he'd admit that, not in a thousand years.

Leonardo blew a raspberry, "nothin' it gonna happen anyway, no action, no villains, as the leader I say we go home and eat some pizza!" he cheered, Mikey perked at that, looking up from his mystic chains he'd been practicing, "...I mean, it couldn't hurt, no one as attacked, everyone is still recovering from the attack, especially you, Leo." Raphael sighed but nodded, "fine, Donnie, keep all your tech cameras on banks, museums and stuff like that, just in case.." he side eyed Leo, who was talking to Mikey now.

After riding back to the sewers in the new and improved Turtle Tank 2.0 everyone grabbed a slice of pizza from the leftovers of last night and sat down to eat in the living room. Leonardo laid on his stomach, Mikey sat criss crossed on the arm of the couch, Donatello sat on a purple bean bag and Raphael sat in the one actual chair as they watched Jupiter Jim 34. Donatello carefully studied Leonardo's shell, the cracks... jeez they were big. He noticed as Leonardo shuffled uncomfortably, he expected this, Leo always got a bit of pain when he didn't move constantly to distract himself. He sighed softly as reached into a shoulder compartment on his battle shell, it had pills in it, Midol for April or Leo if they needed it, pain killers, melatonin gummies and anti-anxiety meds, mostly for Leo. Donatello grabbed two pain killers and handed it down to Leo, he whispered, just so Leo could hear it and not above the movie playing on the projector, "take these, I can tell you need them" he said blandly before shoving them into Leo's hand, the blue twin smiled back, "thanks, DonTron..." and shoved them in his mouth and took them dry, which creeped out Donnie but he wouldn't question it.

Elsewhere, the Hidden City.

A blue Punkupine with green eyes, freckles, peach furred arms and heart shaped chest, light blue markings on his face, red shoes with a white strap that connected to a star shaped buckle, white fingerless gloves with a comical amount of sports tape was walking with a tall Kitsune with only two tails instead of the usual six, blue eyes, soft yellow fur with a white furred fluffy stomach with, big ears that wear tipped with brown, just like around his eyes and hands, that sported gloves that only show the tips of his paws so he can touch the hologram screen on his left hand. As the Kitsune typed away, regarding of the Hidden Cities reconstruction after the Kraang attack, they weren't as bad as the above world but some buildings fell through the surface, leaving many worrisome holes.

"Tails, bro, get off the screen for a while, you're gonna go blind!" the short , blue punkupine spoke, looking up at his little brother. The kitsune, now known as Tails, rolled his eyes, "first, no I won't, second, this is important Sonic! three of us best relec shops were destroyed, now human disguises prices only rise!" Sonic shook his head at Tails, "you're just grumpy because the only mint shop was destroyed." he stated a matter-of-factly, Tails grumbled, his tails spun in annoyance for a moment and his ears shifted, "..am not.." Sonic shook his head and chuckled, "whatever you say lil' bro" he waved and rushed off in dart of lightning, going around to check for severe damage and maybe a form of entertainment.

As the blue blur ran he jumped on rumble from the destroyed buildings, he looked to the roof of the hidden city and sucked a breathe in.. Amy was not going to like this. he pressed on his communicator on his wrist and rang up Tails, "heyyyy... maybe I was being a little under dramatic.. but~ the city has a few, like BIG hole leading to City Square, got any sciencey stuff to help?" he make an awkward face, hoping for the best from his genius little brother. He heard a shout on the other end of the line, "WHAT???" Tails yelled, getting some looks from other Yokai around him. He sucked a breathe in and whispered into the communicator, "..what do you mean 'there's a bunch of holes in the roof'?' "I mean, there's a-- WOAH-" static was then heard in Tails's ears as the call ended, Tails immediately panicked and spun his fluffy tails to go find Sonic.

Sonic was now jumping from place to place as more chunks of the roof fell, collapsing so fast he could already see a giant build board and people screaming. It all felt overwhelming, people?? as in HUMANS? bad news!

Hehehe, hello dear author. I have a somewhat peculiar request for Poseidon. Let's say that at a meeting or party some time after Ragnarok, Amaterasu arrives with a miko assisting her, which the goddess treats as her daughter and as soon as she sees Poseidon she does her best to prevent Poseidon from noticing the priestess. Since Amaterasu knows the story of Medusa and this special human is like a daughter to her. The miko is from a modern era, but she had a peculiar childhood. Since she and/or she was born, she was consecrated to the Grand Shrine of Amaterasu, being the only woman among her brothers. Her parents only visited her at the temple to demand perfection, asking the monks and superior priestesses to leave her in isolation if she did not meet their expectations to the letter, the monks could not oppose since her family was of high social hierarchy and very rich. Basically, she suffered mental and sometimes physical damage from the scars left from training her with weapons related to the sun goddess. And it was at dawn, while he was serving his punishment in isolation, that Amaterasu appeared to him, and lamented everything that his followers had done. From that day on, the goddess promised that she would always be with her, and basically Amaterasu was the one who he would gossip while they hung out in isolation. she y/n she died defending the temple from a too powerful yokai, and Amaterasu collected her soul and performed her funeral personally, as well as driving her y/n's family out of her lands. For this reason Amaterasu is so jealous of y/n, especially against Poseidon due to the tyrant of the seas' fetish for virgin priestesses. But surely Poseidon is worth half a peach and somehow he takes the miko to his domain to try to woo her, and y/n knowing that he will not beat Poseidon in a fight, he always evades him saying that he is not interested in being with a married man (Amphitrite) while trying to find a way to escape every day. And Amaterasu is about to start a war against Hades, since the latter stands in the way of the sun goddess breaking Poseidon's face.

-Your life was only better after you died.

-It was a sad truth, but a truth, nonetheless. You were the only daughter born to a high society family with four older brothers and one younger brother.

-To your parents, you were useless, as only boys mattered to them, sons to carry on their lineage.

-They got rid of you the first chance they had but did it in a way where nobody would accuse them of being bad parents, they gave you to the Ise Jingu, the holy Shinto shrine of Amaterasu, where the goddess is rumored to live, an honorable fate.

-Your life became nothing but chores and going to school, only being able to attend through middle school, the mandatory educational requirements in Japan.

-However, you worked hard, proving yourself to the High Priestess and the priests who oversaw the temple grounds, and you were conscripted to become a priestess yourself.

-Your family benefited from your promotion, using it as publicity for them and their sons that their only daughter was devoted to a life serving in a temple as a priestess.

-However, this came at a price, due your parents being so wealthy, giving massive donations and getting many other high society families to donate large amounts, their instructions were clear: you had to be perfect, no mistakes, and if any were made, you were to be locked away and punished.

-Unable to risk the donations, the High Priestess accepted the terms.

-You tried your best, being diligent with your work so you would make any mistakes, but their constantly watching eyes, even the smallest mistake had them throwing you into a small isolated room with no windows, sometimes after whipping the tops of your hands so you would learn.

-You struggled with their treatment, sometimes punishing you by not feeding you for days, isolating you, you were quickly beginning to look sick, but those in charge were too blinded by their greed.

-You could only stare in the darkness of the room, no windows to illuminate anything, the only source of light being the sun peeking through the small cracks.

-A hand on your head startled you, flinching in fear as you could barely move, turning your heard to see the most beautiful woman you have ever seen, glowing as if the was the sun herself.

-You eyes were wide and full of tears as she pulled you into her arms, weeping softly as she held you, “How could they hurt someone so young- so small.”

-You instantly knew this was Amaterasu herself, your own tears welling as you broke down, sobbing into her chest, but she didn’t berate you, she just let you cry, giving you the soft affection that you so desperately wanted.

-From that day on, Amaterasu was always with you, but nobody could see her but you, as she said they were not worthy to see her.

-She had healed your wounds, kept you warm at night, became a friend, a mentor, and a mother to you, doting on you so gently.

-When she had to leave you for a short while, you were terrified, clutching her kimono, which broke her heart, but she promised to return to you.

-Without her divine protection, which had shielded your mistakes from the eyes of those in charge of the temple, so you wouldn’t be punished, it was like a demon took over the temple, tainting all those who resided.

-When Amaterasu returned, she could only stare in horror, seeing you bloody and broken body, whipped viciously, your hands bound behind your back, seeing the priestess and priests were the ones harming you.

-In one act of Divine Punishment, Amaterasu struck the temple with a ball of fire, immediately igniting it.

-She watched them all flee, leaving you behind, her heart aching as you passed, but she immediately pulled your soul out of your body, cradling it close as you woke up, completely healed, floating above the burning temple.

-You were in disbelief that you had died, but at the same time, you never felt happier, as you could never be hurt by them again.

-The temple only had minor damage, the fire department working quickly, but Amaterasu made sure to reveal your body, which was only minorly burned, showing the abuse you had been put through.

-The public was in an uproar, furious that those in charge had treated the little miko so harshly, so cruelly, then it came into light of your family’s bribery to the temple, paying them to treat you like this, as nothing but perfection would be accepted.

-You were in awe, holding onto Amaterasu as you watched your family lose everything, being shamed and being forced to flee Japan to start anew.

-You harbored no feelings for your family, no remorse for them, as they were the ones that did this to you, they did this to themselves.

-In Valhalla you had so much freedom, getting to explore around the Shinto pantheon, meeting warriors from history, and with Amaterasu by your side, you go to meet other gods as well, many who were disgusted by the way you, a sixteen-year-old girl, had been treated by adults, least of all holy figures that watched over temples.

-Amaterasu doted on you like you were a daughter, not a miko, as you were considered a demi-god of sorts, as you were considered a holy maiden. You didn’t mind either way, you liked helping your new mother out, doing simple chores, delivering paperwork around the pantheon for her.

-You had never been happier than with this new role in the afterlife, in Valhalla.

-It was at a massive party where you got to meet so many other gods and notable humans, a celebration for the salvation of humanity, as the gods have decided to work with humanity to help them better themselves, what they should have done in the first place.

-You were wearing a traditional miko outfit, red hakama pants with a white shirt, and a large red bow tying your hair back in a low ponytail, remaining by your mother goddess.

-Many were surprised to meet a holy maiden that was so young, but most were nice to you, many of the humans enjoyed speaking with you, as you asked them questions about their past as you knew their history.

-Amaterasu grabbed your wrist, pulling you behind her as a man approached you both, you peeked out, hearing your mother call this man Poseidon, a glare on her face, as she knew the story of Medusa, of what he did to a priestess of Athena.

-He wasn’t going to be allowed near you.

-However, her intense protectiveness is what made Poseidon want to see you more, to know more about you, wanting to know why you were so special to the sun goddess.

-When you were out delivering papers a few days later, Amaterasu was beside herself when she realized you had gone missing, snatched away from the pantheon.

-She immediately knew where to go, heading right for the Greek pantheon, with Susanoo and Tsukuyomi tried to hold her back from waging an all-out war between the two pantheons.

-She was correct however, as you had been taken by Poseidon, spirting you away to his palace in the Greek pantheon, as he was curious about you, wanting to see why you were so special.

-You were scared, as you didn’t know where you were, a powerful god had kidnapped you, and you knew you couldn’t fight against him and you couldn’t shake the feeling that this man was dangerous, he made you uneasy.

-Amaterasu told you about Poseidon, and about Medusa, whom you remember reading about back on earth in history class, how she was a priestess and he raped her, and she was turned into a gorgon.

-She wanted you to be safe as she was afraid that he would come after you in the same way, despite being married.

-Poseidon was quickly infatuated with you, when you asked to go back home to your mother, soon moving on to demanding him, refusing his advances.

-He didn’t want to force you, he wanted to woo you, so you would come on your own free will, that way he would be safe from Amaterasu and the other gods.

-You refused all his advances, “You’re married! I’m not going to get with a married man! And I’m still only a teenager!” but with each refusal, he grew more and more infatuated.

-When he heard your mother was looking for you, he locked you in a lavish room in a tower, you could see out the windows, but you were trapped, unable to escape while Poseidon went to assure your mother that he didn’t have you.

-Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon had their hands full with Amaterasu, who was ready to launch a full out attack on them, knowing that Poseidon had you somewhere.

-Susanoo called for The Seven Lucky Gods, to search for you while he and Tsukuyomi were trying to prevent a massive war.

-You were trying to tie every piece of cloth you could together, to make a rope to throw out the window so you could climb down and escape, needing to get back to your mother.

-You were terrified, every inch of you was shaking as you shimmed down your makeshift rope until you heard, “Y/N!”

-You gasped, seeing Ebisu who was rushing towards you on the ground below, seeing you escaping from a high tower.

-You slipped, losing your grip and you fell quite a ways before you managed to grab onto the rope again, halting yourself but you cried out in pain as Ebisu shouted out your name again.

-You made it to the ground, letting the rope go and falling into his arms as you felt him touch your waist and you were instantly in tears, your arms wrapped around his neck as you sobbed, having been so scared.

-Ebisu wasn’t the greatest at comforting others, but he held you tightly, furious that Amaterasu was right, Poseidon had taken you, and he had been hiding it from everyone, including his brothers who were trying to defend him as they didn’t know any better.

-When the other Seven Lucky Gods walked in, all furious, Zeus was quick to ask what their interruption was all about before Ebisu stepped forward, you in his arms princess style, as your arms were still wrapped around his neck, not wanting to let him go.

-Instantly all attention turned to Poseidon who looked furious that you were not in the lovely room he had prepared for you, his brothers angry as well, as they had been defending him, only to find out Amaterasu knew what she was talking about.

-Showing her intimidating side for once, shocking everyone in attendance, even you, the heat that was quick to envelop the room was stifling as she spoke, glaring hard, “I will not hesitate to dry your oceans, Sea God, if you ever even look at my daughter again. There will be no mercy a second time.”

-She also threatened Zeus and Hades, who were quick to agree with her, that they were to punish their brother for not only kidnapping you, but also lying about you being hidden away.

-They ended up calling Aphrodite and her son Eros to use an arrow on Poseidon to lose his infatuation with you, but he was to be watched closely.

-Ebisu was quickly blushing, defensive against everyone once you all arrived back to the Shinto pantheon, your home, as you didn’t want to let him go, and Amaterasu cooed on how cute he looked, shouting at her, “OI! I’m not cute!!” which caused a lot of laughter to ring throughout the pantheon.

-Amaterasu kept you close for the next few days, by your choice more than hers, as you felt too nervous to go anywhere without her, which made her sympathize with you, doting on you and reassuring you that he would never come after you again, if he didn’t want to risk his life.

-You cuddled your mother, laying your head on her lap, making her giggle as she brushed her hands through your hair, doting on you, seeing that you were so happy to be there with her, safe and sound from everything.

-That is until you visited the Norse pantheon and Brunnhilde took you flying on her winged horse, giving your mother a slight panic attack, worried about you.

-She knew that she would need to let you grow up, both emotionally and mentally, knowing she couldn’t keep you by her side forever, but she always prayed to you that you would always come home to her, no matter what.
