I just had this idea! Though um if you up for it. It can be NSFW. Its how the turtles will react to an innocent S/o who unknowingly made a naughty joke. She never makes these jokes as she had no idea how!. Also she had accidentally texted the joke!.

Well oops on her part👀

This be how they react after that almost awkward text chat when she arrives at the lair. Thats all i can think of for now. This is gonna be good. Work your magic!

Innocent Turned Naughty 🔥

Ohh, honey, I have been waiting for this! I decided to do it head cannon style, so we're going with that. I hope this to your liking. Some of these aren't really jokes, just messages that could go into two ways. Obviously they took it to the deep end because they're men. 😂

🔞 Warning 🔞 NSFW 18+ Only

Dirty talk and some crack because we all need humor. 👌🏻

Your turtle terrapin was relaxing in the lair when his phone buzzed at a random. He would usually do his favorite type of activity during these times, so relaxing on the couch was a new norm he would get used to.

When he opened the message, however, was when his eyes widened at the message you've just sent to him.

• "Wanna go to the dojo and give me a private lesson?"

• Mouth dropped, eyes wide

• Went complete shut down

• This poor man doesn't know what to do

• But he will admit that he's intrigued

• You are his innocent, little blossom. Why did that line made his heart race?

• He doesn't text back

• That man calls!

• When you picked up, however, you were all cheerful as ever.

• "You do realize what you have done, right?"

• Confusion on your end, until he told you about the message you've sent. You started panicking.

• "O-Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry! I was actually wanting to do some training since you have an off day. So I thought that you could teach me."

• Awkwardness falls.

• Leo rubbed his face, completely embarrassed about thinking of such things of you like this.

• "I apologize, blossom. I kind of went to the deep end." He chuckled nervously as he looked around the room, hoping no one heard their conversation.

• "Oh, no, you're fine! I mean," you paused as you brought up the last bit of courage you have. "I was actually like to have a lesson, if you know what I mean." He could hear that teasing tone, even though your voice wavered a bit.

• *Que Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen* Mother, I've just killed a man.

• He took in a deep breath, exhaled slowly. "I was going to let you off the hook but, since my little one wants to tease, I expect you down here in 20 minutes. Do you understand me?"

• He laughed when he heard you scurrying around your apartment. This is going to be fun.

• "Bench press me?"

• The man was shooketh to the core!

• Had to placr his phone down just so he could breathe.

• That text can go into different ways and he's thinking of the naughty kind.

• Oh, he can bench press you alright. He'll press you into a mating press, that's what he will do!

• Another vibration was heard and he looked the text. It was from you.

• "I'm so embarrassed. I just realized on what it sounds like and I'm so sorry!"

• He ain't having it. Oh, heck naw! You've poked the bear and you're gonna get the grizzly.

• Eat you up until there's nothing left, babe!

• He called you.

• "H-Hello?" You spoke with uncertainty. He hasn't responded until he called. You're a little nervous right now.

• "What kind of pressing are we talking about here? Cause all I'm thinking of is you, in a mating press, and you screaming my name until my brothers complain about the noise."

• You've just died happy.

• "Teach me some anatomy, love? 🥰"

• Donnie raised a brow as he read the message you've just sent.

• Anatomy, huh?

• "Which part of anatomy?" He replied back as he continued to read until you've messaged him back.

• "Reproductive system."

• His brain short suricated.

• "And the muscles and tendons. To see what they do if they go passed their limits."

• Oh, he's trying so hard not to go to the deep end. But it's hard to when the conversation is like this!

• He called.

• "Darling," he replied when you've picked up his call. "Re-read what you've just said to me."

• You were confused until you've spoke the message out loud. He can't help but smirk when he heard your voice being covered by your hands. "Now, to answer your question. I will teach you, but it's best if I could demonstrate. If you don't mind."

• He laughed when he heard you scream out away from the phone. Oh, this is entertaining.

• "Which type do you prefer? Sweet or spicy?"

• Mikey pondered in thought. "I like sweet!"

• "Sweet is nice, but I like to have some spicy. ^^"

• Oh, you all know where this is going.

• This man has a dirty mind, so don't be surprised when he replied something naughty in return.

• "Ooh, spicy, huh? I will definitely spice things up, if you know what I mean." He sent a smirking emoji after that.

• You were a blushing mess when he sent that smirk emoji.

• "That's not what I meant!" You replied with a blush.

• Mikey chuckled as he called you.

• When you answered however, he groaned deep from within his chest. "Angel, if you want spicy, I definitely got the spice! Come over here and have a taste!"

• But what shocks him was when you replied back.

• "Oh, really? You're big talk, baby. Give it to me then."

• Now it's his turn to blush. He didn't expect you to counter back like that.

• "Come over and I will!" He challenged.

• He could hear keys and a door slam. Oh, you're serious!

• Let's just say the man rushed to his room and done a quick clean up.

I watched it 🤭🙌🐢💜❤️💙🧡

so good! so cute!!! spoilers below the cut ↓

soooooo I really really really enjoyed how much effort they put into making them like sad about their circumstances, the reality of it all, being a mutant and wanting to be accepted by humans,

Splinter not being a human to begin with but just a rat and quite frankly traumatized by humans all his life so very distrustful and doesn’t want his sons going through that or getting killed, and what tops the cake is that he actually tried to go out on his own with the tots, only to be instantly turned on, which just solidified the fear! even though he wasn’t just a rat anymore he was still cast out, still shunned!

but the turtles were too young to really remember that so they had endless hope, at least Mikey, Donnie, and Raph, kinda sorta Leo especially when April came onto the scene 🤭

WHICH SPEAKING OF THAT! Idk how I feel, super cute, Leo liking April instantly reminded me so much of 2k12 Donnie maybe a less intense version, all the scenes where romance was implied wasn’t so heavy (maybe slightly cringe) but still had me smiling so I guess I’m for it????? Still need to think on it more, overall my thoughts are : cute ✨ Leo was just being so cute 💀

THE BROTHERS WERE DRAGGING HIM OUT THO, like practically the whole first half of the movie, which is typical for tmnt, but gah damn 😂 it was so apparent when just Donnie, Mikey, and Raph would group up/link up, because Leo would constantly “rat” them out to the rat! Super different vibes from rise!leo for sure, that was kinda switched where Mikey was the one who couldn’t really lie… and it wasn’t about lying per say, just Leo being a pleaser? or a good kid? or wanting to do the right thing??? maybe that’s all the same thing as not wanting to lie 😂

anyhow, my favorite part had to be the very first fight scene the bros go into! Leo springing into action, being the one to propel his brothers into danger all because he wanted to help April (again so cute) get her scooter back! Technically their fault too! Anyhow they were getting whooped but also holding their own simultaneously, and just thinking quickly on their feet and helping each other out, it was all pretty intense and very stressful like where Mikey almost got run over twice 😨 I was like oml someone do SOMETHING!!!!! Thankfully we got big bro Raph, always coming in clutch! But yeah I just really enjoyed the first fight and them coming out on top! And right after being accepted by their first human aka April O’Neil!!!!!!!!! :D

There’s so much more to say, I could quite literally write down everything that happened in words but not gonna go there 💀💀 anyone wanna just gush about the movie?!? What was your favorite part??! What do you guys think about Leo x April???

AND THE SEQUEL WITH SHREDDER 🤩🤩🤩

Do we have a date yet??? Oml so flippin’ excited that we have confirmed more content on the way!!!

Someone, anyone, TALK TO MEEEEEEEE 💞🤗😚

Double Donnie

"So, fellow Donatello. I have a query for you."

"Sure." Donnie drops a bit of the "ooze", as they call mutagen in this dimension, into the chemical compound.

"Why bio-chemistry as your science of choice?" Donald leans hazardously close to Donnie's project. "Because I noticed that it holds you back from making some truly incredible tech otherwise by dividing your time and practice, and I can't figure out why anyone would ever do that to themselves."

"You do chemistry too, I've seen it."

"Yeah, as a side-science. Tech and machinery are clearly superior."

"Mm-hmm, sure. Now, back away, would you? There's a good chance this'll explode."

"I am used to explosions."

"This is a chemical explosion."

"Yes, so there will be the lack of my usual shards of metal, and, running screaming from flying pieces of shrapnel!"

"At least we relate on that experience." Donnie adds one more drop of ooze. The mixture bubbles, turns pink, turns red...

POP!

Donnie groans and thunks his head against the worktable.

"There there." One of the robotic arms of Donald's battle shell pats Donnie on the head. "This is simply what happens when you mess with an inferior branch of science."

Donnie lifts his head to scowl at Donald, one of those strange red representations of a bulging vein overlaying itself on his forehead and giving off a faint heartbeat sound. "You're telling me you're a mutant of combined turtle and human DNA made from a mysterious substance, and you didn't want to figure out how all of that worked?!"

"Never had the strong urge, no! Why would I, when I had robots to build!" Donald throws his arms out, and his various pieces of tech surround him in a blink! He smirks at Donnie.

"And I had DNA to test and compounds to make! Our passions went in opposite directions, that's all there is to it! ... Actually, thinking about it, it's very possible this was the multiverses way of balancing the universes, directing us into situations that fostered different passions in different fields. Not that I don't love robotics, of course, but I find myself in a lot more situations where my bio-chemistry comes in handy."

"And I, my beautiful beautiful tech."

"Fascinating. Even though our interests are nurtured from the time we're too young to know what situations we'd deal with, we both ended up with our interests perfectly suited to what we'd need most when we became heroes. This implies some level of existence of Fate, which, come to think of it, if further supported by the many consistencies across universes-"

"Sorry, the many?"

"There's a version of us that lives in the year 1987. We don't need to talk about them right now. Their Raph sounded a lot like me and I still don't know how I feel about that."

"You have a lot of feelings, so I'm not surprised that they become hard to differentiate from each other."

"Yeah, well, a complex mind breeds complex emotions."

"That is not the case."

"Anyway, if I wasn't passionate about bio-chemistry, I would never have been able to make retromutagen and stop the Kr- uh, the... other guys. If you didn't have your passion for tech, well, same story! Sort of."

"Let's not talk about that ever again actually."

"Sorry."

"Wait, is that what you're doing there? Creating a reversing agent to the oozequitos?"

"I'm hoping to. I just, feel bad for some of the people your Mikey told me about. Plus, it's pretty nice when the people who want to kill you aren't incredibly strong mutants."

"I don't know how much that'll matter here, honestly. Also, this seems dangerous to have around us. I'd rather not suddenly turn back into a regular turtle."

"Relax, it doesn't even work yet. I'm really having trouble adjusting to the laws of this universe. Did you know that your April took me to her high school the other day? No-one batted an eye!"

"Ah yes, your humans are much more likely to scream, and point, and shout about 'Oh no, horrible hideous monsters!'."

"Thank you for the reminder," Donnie grumbles. "That's another reason I pursued bio-chemistry. When I was young I hoped I could possibly find a way to turn my brothers and I human as well."

Donald tenses up, his face twisting into disgusted horror. "You... want to be human?!"

Donnie scoffs. "Um, yeah? Like I said, our dimension is a lot less friendly to us. We can't even go out in the daytime unless there's something bigger going on, like millions of rats swarming."

"... Has that happened to you?"

"More than once."

"Your dimension sounds like the worst place to ever exist. But aside from that, explain why you want to be human other than wanting life-essential sunlight and vitamin D intake."

"Well, to go to school sounds nice. Connecting with other scientists. Meeting people besides my brothers and humans we know because of kidnappings and their attempted vigilante careers. Generally having the same opportunities that a human does?"

"I see, I see. But you're stronger than a human in your dimension, right?"

"Yeah."

"And faster?"

"I suppose..."

"So what's the problem?"

"Wh- what's your problem?! You don't feel like a freak?!"

"Not really, no."

"How- we- we have shells! And our hands only have three fingers! And we're green!"

"I don't understand, now you're just pointing out the obvious. Ooooh, wait, you're listing things that make us different from humans."

"Yes!"

"I don't know if I'm equipped to handle this, actually, because I find your train of thought very hard to follow here. May I direct you to Mikey, or perhaps the cloaking brooch shop?"

"... The what?"

"Cloaking brooch. They're used by Yokai to disguise as humans and live amo-"

"YOU HAVE A WAY TO MAKE ME LOOK HUMAN?!" Donnie bolts out of the room.

Donald blinks after him, and then taps his forearm screen. "Angelo, I think Other Donnie may need one of your Doctor personas to pay him a visit. Yeah, yeah apparently he deeply hates himself for being a mutant. I know, I don't get it either. Anyway I think he's tearing the lair apart trying to find a cloaking brooch. No, I don't know if he's touching your kiiiii- oh, no, he is, he's going through the kitchen cupboards. Try not to kill him."

Drabble #1

TMNT 2012 transfem!Leo x reader

It was supposed to be a drabble but I made one-shot instead, sorry

Let me know if you see any mistakes!

━═━═━═━═━

"Do you really think I should tell them now?"

The turtle was sitting on the only couch (which looked like it had survived the apocalypse- oh wait, nevermind), fidling nervously with shell-looking phone, cobalt blue eyes trailing on the name displayed on the screen.

"Don't worry, dudette! I'm sure you guys will be perfectly fine!" Mikey answered tying the tails of the blue bandana into neat bow.

Finishing, he hummed in satisfaction taking a seat beside his, now, sister. Placing a three-fingered hand on her shoulder, he sent her one of his signature sunshine smiles.

Some time ago, the turtle's fearless leader decided to come out of the shell (pun intended) and explain to them how he, at the time, felt about himself thinking his brothers would help him figure out what the feeling was. After long talking session they all came to conclusion that the oldest brother is actually the oldest sister. Of course, everyone were really supportive, their father, April and Casey, Karai too.

But there was one last person who didn't know - her significant other. She knew that was wrong, you should be one of the first people to know. You both were talking many times about putting trust in each other and if there was something important you should let the other one know, that way, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings leading to unnecessary arguments.

But she couldn't help the uneasy feeling of dread that you wouldn't accept her, that you would turn your back and leave her. And she really didn't want that to happen.

Mikey took the phone out of her hand.

"Seriously, don't worry. I'm sure they would accept you like all of us did!" he encouraged. "I'm gonna text them to come to the lair and then go to my room acting like I'm not even there. Raph and Donnie are on patrol with April and Casey so you guys have time to talk. I hope they don't kill each other tho."

The other turtle chuckled appreciating her brother's attempt to cheer her up.

"Okay." she nodded. "Thank you, Mikey."

"No problemo, sis!"

━═━═━═━═━

You walked into the open space in the sewers that the turtles and their rat father used as home. And since the day you have met them, this also became your home, especially after you started dating their blue-bandana leader.

"Hello? Anyone here?" you asked not noticing anyone in the main area.

"y/n..." you heard a quiet voice behind you.

Turning around you smiled at the familiar turtle standing beside a couch, shuffling from one feet to another.

"Hi, Leo!" grimace appeared on the ninja's face. "Is something wrong? Are you okay?"

Concern washed over you.

"No, no, I'm okay! But we need to talk."

Now you started to feel nervous. Have you done something wrong? Are you guys going to break up now? You really hope that's not the case.

You both sat on the couch, both extremely nervous.

"I..." the turtle started. "I have something to tell you."

You held your breath nodding to show you're listening. After a deep breath the terrapin began to speak again.

"Lately, I began to realize I feel different about myself, that something is not quite right. At first, I didn't know why but I had a talk with my brothers and we came to conclusion that, well..."

Small encouraging small appeared on your face.

"I-I am a girl now."

You stared, frozen in place, trying to process the information. That's...

"Is that all you wanted to say?" you asked but realized how rude it probably sounded. "No, wait, that didn't came out like I wanted it to. I ment, I was stressed that you're going to break up with me!"

Now was her turn to stare at you dumbfounded.

"...Aren't you the one breaking up with me?" she asked confused.

That's not the reaction she was expecting at all.

"What? Why would I want to do that?" you asked, not understanding her way of thinking.

"Because, well..." she hesitated. "I'm not the Leo you fell in love with anymore..."

The cobalt blue irises left your face and glared at her clenched fists laying on her lap. Small glistening tears started to form in her eyes when suddenly a hand was placed on one of her own. She slowly looked up and froze seeing your face.

There was just so much love in your own eyes, warmth started to spread on her cheeks. Honest feeling almost radiated of off you when you wiped her tears using the thumb of your other hand, grinn slowly making it's way on your face.

"I fell in love with you. Not the fearless leader, not the mutant ninja turtle, not Leonardo Hamato, but you. It does not matter who you were before or who you are now. I love you for you and I want you to be yourself, whoever that is." you cupped both her cheeks in your hands. "You are still the same person who I fell in love with."

She sat there speechlessly, the look you were giving her was so soft it was starting to make her melt. That's definitely not what she was expecting, but that was better than the best scenario she had thought about before.

She lifted her hands and placed them on yours enjoying the warm feeling spreading through her body. She wanted to answer, say anything to let you know how happy she was, but nothing came out. The turtle felt if she tried to speak then she would just start crying again.

But she didn't need to speak.

"So," you spoke up after a while. "what should I call you beside 'my girlfriend'?

She laughed lightly, lowering your hands from her face with one hand and wiping the tears of joy with the other.

"I thought about Leonore maybe? I'm not completely sure yet..."

"I think it sounds lovely!" you exclaimed, smile becoming even bigger than before. "So, my dear and wonderful girlfriend Leonore, would you like to watch some Space Heros with me while eating pizza?"

She giggled again. She couldn't find anyone better, she thought.

"Of course, couldn't think of anything better." she replied matching your energy. "And thank you. For all of that. I love you."

"It was only what I was supposed to do." your smile softening. "And I'm sure you heard me said that countless of times before but I'll tell you that as many times as you need.

I love you too."

FOUR KNIGHTS OF THE APOCALYPSE THOUGHTS

I've been relatively silent for far too long and as compensation, let me share the things that have been occupying my head for the longest time.

"Knights" of the Apocalypse

I've posted my wishful thinking of the four knights possibly having their own squads before. It's cool to think that each of the four knights would be the Captains of their own title. Like, Knights of War, Knights of Death (sounds the coolest tbh), Knights of Pestilence, Knights of Famine. I still think that this is extremely unlikely because if this were to happen Nakaba would have to focus on so many people but it still sounds really cool.

Narrative-wise, we already have the Percival Platoon and the Tristan Platoon, and in my good honest opinion. The Percival Platoon has a higher chance to be relevant later on. Each Platoon has four members, including Percival and Tristan (we are not counting Lance in this) but Jade died, and we already got Chion's backstory (Nakaba can kill him off by making him save someone that is not Tristan) Isolde being the potential love interest for Tristan (and Gawain hihihi) is the only thing that is keeping her around. With the Percival Platoon, however, Anne is the potential love interest of Percival and her mom has a history with Arthur since she was once a Knight of Camelot, Nasiens is still a mystery and Donny still needs some hours on the oven for character development. My point is Percival and his Knights of Death (in my head) are complete and packed.

What about Tristan then? Tristan's platoon could possibly stay with him and the narrative. However, Thetis can be put into play here. Thetis is Derieri's reincarnation and she remembers everything, Thetis was once a demon and her story with Monspiet ended tragically and the girl needs a happy ending, so... Who is to say that Monspiet didn't also reincarnate (that would be a cool plot for Thetis). Then, we have Zeldris and Gelda, and I know them having a kid isn't mentioned in any way shape or form but I want them to have one (this is slowly turning into an AU). So, with that in mind, Tristan's new squad should consist of Isolde, Chion, Thetis, Monspiet reincarnation and Zel and Gelda's kid. Did you spot a theme here, most of the characters listed are or was a demon. Tristan struggles with his identity and he doesn't have any control over his demon side so it should be neat for him to have someone who can help him through it. Granted, I believe Mael is his perfect teacher since he once wielded both powers.

Now, let's get into Lancelot. I only have three candidates. Rou's reincarnation, King and Diane's eldest and/or possibly Tioreh. Rou and Derieri are currently in the same position. They have both reincarnated with their memories still intact, but Rou has already been reincarnated to Oslo then he died and got reincarnated again. I've said that it would be cool and fun and happy if he got reincarnated as a fairy so he could be with Gerhade, but he could very well be reincarnated as a human and his story would revolve around reuniting with Gerhade either way that's how his story will go. King and Diane's kids are pretty self explanatory since they are Lance's cousins. King and Diane's eldest is intriguing for me especially because of Disaster. Disaster isn't something we've seen at its pure and raw form, when King uses Disaster it's always with the Spirit Spear and King and Diane's eldest could be the character that can showcase just what Disaster can do on its own, and being the eldest and heir to be the next Fairy King The Sacred Tree can give him the power of Disaster. So what I'm saying is Lance's squad is literrally Fairy supremacy.

Lastly, Gawain. This one is easy. Gawain has Sunshine. Her team is the perfect way to revive the Four Archangels... well the graces of the four Archangels.

That's all for my rambling. Next time, I'll talk about the Demon Realm Arc. I have a few things to saw about the Demon Realm Arc.

In the pink puppets au, you said leo's being obedient and stuff. So he would follow like a puppet what every word our dear puppeteer is doing and saying and to an extent, his brothers too. So in a scenario where leo is doing something very very against what both leo and raph would want if leo wasn't brainwormed, would raph have to order his brother around to get him to stop? Or would the brainworm be too strong and he'd ignore raph?

Also i want to know what the rise boys think of all of this, cause we know a lot of what the 12 boys are thinking but not many of rise

Oooh and also, are 12 casey and april here? I might have missed them if you talked about them in your au

Leo follows every order given to him by both his brainwormed brothers and by the puppeteer.

Despite the brainworm using their worse traits against them, one thing still remains, the fact that they love their family so much.

This is why the puppet boys don't try to do anything to kill Raph but they use lethal force on every other person.

There will come a scenario where Raph can use that to his advantage, like that one drabble i posted that came from my notes.

Leo was aiming to kill Rise Leo but Raph went in between and essentially made him freeze for a second, his orders conflicting with his need to protect his brothers.

Even if all of them are too far gone, they will always stop so Raph wouldn't get hurt and would always try and convince him to join them.

The Rise boys have mixed feelings about this.

Since they're the older ones in this fic this time, they try their best to be good influences. Despite being the same age as Rise Mikey, Raph has already gotten through two invasions, one of which has traumatized everyone in his family (since they're taken in season 3 and according to my personal timeline, he's still 15)

Honestly, Rise Mikey, Leo, and Donnie are afraid of their counterparts.

Not because they kill ruthlessly or whatever (but they do and that's scary) but because of how the brainworm influences them. Mikey is everything Rise Mikey was currently doing during their recovery arc after the movie, being so overly positive to try and fix things to the point it becomes too much. Donnie is what Rise Donnie would've become if his brothers weren't there to tell him if his inventions were dangerous or not. And Leo is the extreme that Rise Leo wanted to be when he said he didn't want to be the leader.

Rise Raph is trying his best to support Raph as well, but the poor guy doesn't want him to hover around him because that was his Leo's job, not Rise Raph's.

But they'll warm up to each other, no biggie, he's a snapping turtle, Raph love those.

As for Rise April and Rise Splinter, Raph thinks their April is cool and sisterly, major difference from his April since she's older. Raph doesn't like Rise Splinter at all and actually laughed at him the first time he saw him. He was also glaring daggers at Casey Jr. when he introduced himself, not because he's judging, but because he had a whiplash from seeing a Casey with manners and was wondering if he really is a Casey Jones, only to the meet Cassandra and vibe with her.

Meanwhile in 2012 though, the brothers went missing so Splinter and everyone were looking for them.

The last person they went in contact with was April and Casey, they were in a call before they were kidnapped.

Splinter is very worried...

He lost five kids...

They will show up to Rise at some point when they get a hold of a Kraang portal device thing to travel between dimensions

ROTTMNT SEASON 3 IDEAS!!!!!

(These are really messy cause I mostly just copy and pasted from my notes haha)

First of all, the main antagonist.

I think that the main antagonist for season 3 should definitely be the sister Kraang (I’ll be referring to her as Kraang 3 or just Three). Remember, she’s still alive. She’s only being contained. And considering how it only took 3 Kraangs to nearly take over all of New York, I think Three would be able to escape from any earthly containment. She also just has amazing potential to be a main villain. She’s definitely the most psychotic out of the 3 Krangs (Hell, the first thing she wanted to do when she was freed from the prison dimension was kill something) and loves to see people suffer. I could bring up many other times she’s acted like a psychopath but I don’t have time for that lol.

As for her motive, she didn’t seem hellbent on conquering Earth like her brother, she mainly just liked to cause pain. And with her brothers gone I don’t think she’d make it a priority to conquer Earth, at least not quite yet. I think all she wants is revenge. She’d want to torment anyone and everyone who messed up their invasion. And we all know who ruined the invasion…

Another thing is just how horrifying it would be for everyone to know Three is out there and wants revenge. They’ve all already been VERY traumatized by the Kraang and the invasion, and to have to go up against one AGAIN when they thought everything was okay and that they’d gotten rid of the Kraang for good would be insanely traumatizing. Basically I just want more trauma lmao.

I think it would be interesting if Three started becoming more present gradually throughout the season. Sort of like in Thanks To Them, how the entire time there was a build up toward Belos possessing Hunter at the end of the episode. I think it would be interesting if, as the episodes progressed, there would be more hints that Three is back. Maybe an episode about half way through the season it would finally be revealed to the turtles somehow (maybe they find her or it’s on a news report or smth idk)

Anyways moving on from the antagonist I want to see how everyone is doing after the invasion and how they’re each individually dealing with it. I want to see how Casey Jr is doing adapting to a normal life with the younger versions of his family and grieving the ones he knew. I want to see how Raph is handling being possessed and the guilt he more than likely has from hurting his family and helping the Kraang. I want to see how Leo is dealing with the trauma of being in the prison dimension and nearly (accidentally) causing an apocalypse. Obviously, I want to see how Mikey and Donnie are doing after the invasion as well, it would feel wrong if their trauma from the event was ignored, but I just can’t think of anything for them right now. My brain is tired haha.

The turtles’ issues and trauma, even from before the movie, just need to be addressed more. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the writers did a bad job with their struggles. They did great, I just think more time was needed to talk about their issues more in depth. Another thing is that some of the turtles’ issues are talked about more than others. For example, we needed more time to see how Mikey feels like his brothers need to protect him because he’s the youngest and such. This part can mainly be summed up to me thinking we needed more time with each turtle.

Also I just want more of the side characters, man. Characters like Sunita needed much more episodes. I already enjoy the side characters, I just think getting to know them more would make me enjoy them more yk.

WE NEED MORE CASSANDRA. PLEASE. We didn’t get to see much at all of Cass being a good guy, and I’d just really like to see it. I would also LOVE to see her and Casey Jr interact and see what kind of dynamic they’d have.

Splinter’s neglect needs to be addressed more and he really needs to work on it more. I already now that throughout the series he gets better, but he still has so much making up to do. I want to see the turtles be really upset with him. To be hurt by the lack of attention he gave them. Raph in particular was arguably affected the worst by Splinter’s neglect (since he’s the oldest) and I’d love to see Raph talk to him about that.

Now, the most important part. WE NEED USAGI. We need rottmnt Leosagi I’m dying on this hill. Now that might just be me hoping since when it comes to gay relationships Nickelodeon usually doesn’t go farther than gay parents but hey, if The Owl House could do it, I’m sure if Rottmnt really tried they could too.

Anyways that’s all lmao thanks for reading all of this :] feel free to tell me your thoughts about it!

#I didn’t mean for it to be this long oops #idk how to tag this i already said a bunch of stuff #rottmnt #save rottmnt #tmnt

This literally made me realize how not very traumatized Pantheon Leo is and I’m very open to suggestions to traumatizing him. Maybe an amputation here and there who knows

@furiousjellifish

@thenerdywitchofthenorth

Do these work in asks?

I don’t know if the tags will work like that.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m a little behind the curve.

The damage we have set

Leo

Has the stab wound on his side from Raph

Mona

Transformed into a salamander creature

Sunita

Killed by a jealous king

Fights her way to reincarnation

Has amnesia until she regains all of her missing gifts from the family.

That’s it if I’m not wrong

Now this is going to sound crazy coming from me but let’s target someone else.

I know we were thinking about doing an arc with Bishop.

I’m not all caught up but I was thinking about Bishop and the idea of him being a foil to Donnie.

We talked about him going after lesser known gods like Usagi and Mona to go after Leo, Raph, and the family working his way to the more known gods like Mikey and Donnie.

But I was thinking about changing him up. Maybe making his true target Donnie. The god of innovation and madness. Really lean into that madness.

We kinda said that only gods can hurt other gods. And that when they are hurt by other gods it takes them a long time to heal.

I believe we had Bishop as wanting to control the other gods? (Correct? It’s been a while since I checked in) if he’s trying to get them under his thumb I can see him starting with lower gods like Usagi and Mona but like I said I want to really lean into that madness element. Have we thought of necromancy? Maybe bring Usagi’s dead friends back to life to fight him.

Like full on ambush the dude with his dead friends. You can really build this up. Maybe Usagi and Leo go to visit them at Hueso’s every now and then but suddenly their souls are missing. The only thing Hueso can think of is that they are trying the maze for a chance at reincarnation. But that doesn’t make sense to Usagi, why wouldn’t his friends tell him they were doing that?

He goes down to earth to interact with warriors and worshipers, only to get attacked by his friends. Maybe he can’t deal finishing blows. One those are his friend and two maybe it will distort their souls. This is how bishop captures Usagi.

Mona can go down similarly by being attacked by the priestess she used to serve with. We said all of Raph’s priestess were warriors and what a great way to show them off.

This also gives a lot of anguish to Mona and Usagi with out having to tamper with their stories (I feel like the leosagi story just needs to be written. Raphmona needs more flesh but it’s set-ish)

it’s also angst for Raph and Leo because where did their spouses go? They would definitely go looking for them. If bishop can find a way to control Usagi and Mona then you have a fight between the lovers. This can lead to injury. I would not take any limbs as the guilt would eat all of them alive. But you can defiantly have some fun with this.

Of course this is all to target Donnie. So you have to have a confrontation between him and bishop. You know after Donnie has to fight through his whole family. No big deal. Defiantly to mean who get lost in their science and madness. Donnie’s not walking away without a permanent injury I’ll tell you that.

(Not I have more characters for us to play with when I finally update the valentines chronicle. It’s coming I promise)

What do you think. I know I’m behind in reading so if y’all already have an idea for a bishop arch no problem but this has been haunting me and I’ve been to busy to write it down.

supernatural s11e7 plush (w. eric charmelo, nicole snyder)

not the most promising start. offbrand donnie darko bunny

DEAN Really? I mean, really? SAM You ever hear of privacy? DEAN Hey, you want privacy, close your door.

as ever, privacy being invaded really hurts my heart. absolutely dean has a point and sam should have closed his door, but dean also had a shitty fucking smirk on his face and that nasty tone and i'm ready to punch him. i don't pray, i've never believed in anything, and i'm horribly hurt and offended that he'd act like this. i know their history and the dumb plot shit makes prayer not the same thing as it is out here in the real world, but come fucking on. he's still being a raging asshole about sam taking the chance on believing even just a tiny bit that it's god behind the visions.

DEAN Thought we talked about this. SAM Yeah, we did, Dean. But why is it so hard to believe that God could be sending me visions about the darkness? DEAN You kidding me? He didn't feel the need to show up for the Apocalypse. Why would he give a crap now? SAM I don't know. Maybe because she's his sister? What do you wanna do? Sit back? Ignore him? Do nothing? DEAN No, that's -- that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, don't count on God. Okay? Count on us.

count on us (so when you gonna tell sam your secret huh DEAN-O)

glad they let donna wear a uniform that vaguely fits and maybe dropping the fat jokes. maybe. (of course not)

BROCK Not much, man. I mean, I was just hammering my bi's, gettin' all swole,

please no and thank you

s11e7 rita / true colors (1990-1992) brigid brannagh as katie davis

whoa okay so i definitely know this person and i think... it's from.... true colors?? which is yet another tv show i haven't thought about since the early 90s. wild

surely couldn't let sam's clown phobia not make an appearance in a killer ghost possessed child entertainer costume episode. was it purely so they could subject sam to a clown :p it's never gonna beat this post-clown interaction though

7x14 plucky pennywhistle's magical menagerie

dean heartily laughing and sam with his arms outstretched absolutely coated in glitter (i wanna paint it some day, so sparkly) will make me smile every time

also, i love this line

from 2x02 DEAN Planes crash! SAM And apparently clowns kill!

okay anyway. rehashing the good clown phobia moments :P (he did say the clown fight in 7x14 was therapeutic, guess he needs more exposure therapy [beating])

taking another moment to appreciate how much better his hair looks this season, especially post-scuffle

she is so very cute

DONNA I don't have time for insubordination. SAM Or is it maybe that you're treating new Doug like old Doug and not even giving him a chance? DONNA You know what I think? You need to mind your own beeswax. We have a case to solve.

saw her line comin a mile away

outsiders with sibling issues are evergreen

*staring into camera*

crack treated seriously vibes

SAM I keep praying to God because if it is God -- and I know you think it isn't, but if it is -- then he's showing me something I don't know what to do with. DEAN What? SAM The cage. DEAN Lucifer's cage? SAM Yeah. What if he's telling me I have to go back? What if he's saying that's where the answer is to beating the Darkness? DEAN Sam, no. No, okay. I don't know if these visions are coming from God or PBS or what. But we've been down that road. Anything having to do with that cage is -- it -- it's suicide. And you of all people know that. So, no. Just…Not gonna happen. SAM Okay. DEAN Okay.

actually okay? they both have a habit of agreeing and doing whatever the fuck they were gonna do anyway. i mean if dean isn't gonna come clean then whatever anyway. bitterness rising again

Raph and Don being close is important. This gonna be a weird parallel but what if we could compare them to Angel and Casey?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Gonna take the opportunity to share my headcanons and rants about Angel, and to a lesser extent, Casey.

Her grandmother—whom I’ve named Norma—is her mom’s mom. Her mom, Jenny, wanted to study music, hadn’t decided if she wanted to teach or perform, Norma talked her into a teaching degree instead, while at college she met Buddy and they had Ryan.

Speaking of Ryan—Angel got totally whitewashed in the Darkness Within episode, right? Anyways Buddy’s a white guy to explain somewhat where Ryan got his genes. But also. Pretend like Ryan looks normal and the whole fam didn’t get whitewashed. Pretend they’re both biracial and Angel’s just a little darker. I mean pretend whatever you want but I’m pretending that.

Ryan is about 4 years older than Angel. When she was born Jenny and Buddy moved back to NYC to be closer to Norma. Norma and Buddy did not get along, but they did their best. Casey Jones, 9 at the time, lived nearby. Buddy and Arnold Sr. became friends, so Casey met the Bridges. Jenny is killed in a car crash when Angel is 6, Ryan 10, Casey 15. Buddy is overcome with grief and still doesn’t get along with Norma—he leaves. Casey’s dad is killed by the Purple Dragons less than a year after that (I know he looks younger in the flashback but based on the specific way it affected him I hc teenager, he just hit his growth spurt late). So both families are going through it and they bond. Casey helps babysit Angel and Ryan a lot.

Ryan is a lot more withdrawn. He lives in his head (musical theatre nerd but refuses to speak out loud. Will eventually be persuaded to join choir).

Angel is explosive. Her and Casey bond a lot—they’re both processing, both grieving, and Casey’s enough older that he feels like he should be able to advise but he’s also just a kid. He really earns Angel’s respect the first time he breaks down crying in front of her. She brings him a piece of grass she picked from outside to cheer him up because she couldn’t find a flower. They have a very close bond. Ryan and Casey are friends, and Angel looks up to Ryan, but her and Casey have a very close bond.

And I so very adore. That you’ve compared them to Donnie and Raph. Because. Akkfkfkfk

Personality wise? You got two Raphs. Casey is more similar to Raph, while Angel is in some ways Raph and others Mikey, and obviously they are all different individuals, but the point is that personality wise, Angel isn’t the level head to Casey’s deep sensitivity, nor he the grounded in reality to her daydreaming. But the relationship? Absolutely is parallel.

It’s the dynamic of ‘you took care of me so I wanna take care of you.’ It’s ’we both know the worst things about each other and we’re safe with each other.’ It’s ‘I might be mad at the entire world but the second you need me I’ll set all that aside.’

It’s the way Casey, who hates the Purple Dragons, would not give up on his friend and took a huge personal risk going after her. Or how fiercely independent Angel caved immediately and ran for help when Casey was in trouble. Or how she stops him from killing Hun—that moment means so much to me. It does so much to establish Angel’s character, and cements a lot we knew about Casey too. Plus it’s so adorably sweet.

Basically, siblings who would die for each other. Which describes all the turtles but what about siblings who would talk about their feelings without dying of embarrassment—

Just saw ur post/answer to an ask, and:

"I have a Mutant World au, MW AU, which is my 2012 separated AU-type project. Tis my baby. So young, but so full of trauma"

And God, I am now in love with this AU. I love me a good separated type AU.

And one that Leo and Donnie separated together in the TMNT 2012 version (honestly, I just love Leo and Donnie's relationship/dynamic in general, so I am always happy to see more of it. And TMNT 2012 is a fav. of mine too), and basically alone/only have each other. And being the only humans in a world full of mutants, but like, also Kraang experimented on humans (Damn, they got Leatherheaded, April/April family'ed. The poor boys; happy they escaped. Even if they still have to be in hiding) - which makes me wonder if they might got some April powers stuff going on; that would be so cool, and then when two mutant bros (Raph and Mikey) do stumble in their lair, Leo tries to just straight up murder them (protective mama bear mode. We only have each other mode), and Donnie has to talk him out of it, and then they get to be not so alone anymore with Raph, Mikey, and Splinter.

It is just great, and now I want this as actual story or something someday; it just sounds so good.

Also makes me curious about some of the human characters (well, kinda/mostly/sometimes human characters for some of these) like April and her Dad (kindaaaa to both of those though), Casey (also kinda a bit), Shredder (until later on), and Karai (again, until later on). Oh the blind chef that I love a lot, but his name is hard for me to spell/remember.

The hypothetical other separated AU you talked about was interesting to me. Not the usually my cup of tea (i.e., how and/or who was separated and who stayed), but you did make it sound interesting. And I liked Leo and Raph just trying not to hurt their missing, now found little bros, and Mikey believing them first after trying to kill them for a bit, and Donnie being a little slower doing so, because he is loyal. It is just all very good.

Last of all, and not related to that one post at all, but thank you for making that post, about how the universes/dimensions and the people of the different universes/dimensions; in that case 2012 and ROTTMNT are different and each universe/dimension has different laws, because God, do I feel like some people forgot that/don't' realize that/don't take it into account as much as they should imo. Not all ofc; just you, some/a few at least.

First off: I totally forgot this ask existed and I am so sorry for that! Things have been hectic or else I would have responded much sooner 😓😓

Secondly: No problem! I think people forget how different so many aspects of the universes are, and that the differences are what make them awesome, and not flawed!

Thirdly: YEEE, MY BOIS *hugs BB and LB* 2012Leo&Donnie never get their own outcasted separated world together (or so I’ve seen) and so I have lowkey given them one. Raph and Mikey have their own kind of traumatic past, but these boys are on a whole ‘nother level…

I love Big Brother(BB) and Little Brother(LB) so much because they understand very little, and yet what they do understand matters more than anything else. They need each other, they can’t let the Kraang find them, and Mutants are never to be trusted.

They pick up the basics of the world outside the Kraang labs as they go, but BB spends so much time protecting LB from it that LB never gets his chance to see the ✨wonders✨ of the planet so unlike Dimension X. He has his books, but it’s not the same. BB gets surface time, but his fear blocks him from seeing anything other than dangers up there.

Of course, then they meet the boys, and Mikey helps LB to see everything he missed, and Raph helps BB to understand there’s a balance between protecting and shielding. If BB shields LB from everything, then LB won’t learn to really protect himself and will never get the freedom he deserves~

I briefly considered giving them psychic powers, but that’s still a ‘to be decided’ for now. We shall see ;)

HAVE THIS THING THAT BRINGS ME JOY

M7Craft from DeviantArt made this. It’s how she imagines Leo, and even though that’s not how I see him- I LOVE IT WITH MY HEART AND SOUL BECAUSE BB HAS LIFE! LOOKIT THE BROODING BOY!

They have names and designations. The names are what they call each other (Big Brother and Little Brother), but they consider themselves to be the Kraang experiment designations, 1683(Leo) and 1684(Donnie).

We talk story sometimes and M7Craft is working on art for me because we want to give it life since I’ve already got too much on my plate to write a full story and comics are not my forté.

One day 🥺

I make clips and stuff sometimes, which spawn from a random statement or question. Like this-

"How much longer?"

1683's whisper came out harsher than intended, but he felt too exposed in the alleyway, in full view of any mutants who happened to be walking by.

They wore their protective armor, their hoods and mouth pieces- what had Little Brother called them? Visors?- that hide a fair amount of their face from view, but anything could happen on the surface, and he was experienced enough with mutant mindsets to know that they did not trust anyone whose face they couldn't see.

A wise suspicion to uphold, but dangerous nonetheless.

Unable to use his hands to speak while picking the lock, 1684 consented to vocal communication. "New lock. Different than practice one... Almost- there..."

There was a click and 1684 quietly cheered, "Success!"

1683 ruffled his hair in congratulations and then moved to push open the door as his Little Brother got to his feet. 1684 remained in the alley until 1683 reasoned it safe. After a quick motion for him to enter, his Little Brother darted past him and through the back room, searching through the boxed and canned items.

All his senses on alert, 1683 left the door ajar to keep from being locked in and then placed an empty can in front of it, as a warning if someone tried to enter. Little Brother began filling his bag, so 1683 allowed him out of his sight long enough to move from food to supplies, examining the options.

Little Brother already tinkered with anything that they could get their hands on, so necessities other than food were few and far between.

Considering everything 1684 did was for them, he always indulged his Little Brother's comforts whenever he could, paying special care to the stacks of books, trying to aim for ones that could prove useful.

He picked out two, both with words that he could not understand, and knew that Little Brother might get another chance to use his prized dictionary. He grabbed more matches for their lantern and then joined Little Brother once more. Sitting on the floor, his finger seemed to tap the air as he counted the prices in his head, slowly moving his collected items into his bag.

1683 placed his objects on the pile and Little Brother paused, giving him a curious look that questioned the decision. He gave one nod and 1684 picked up his prizes with interest, a warm feeling flooding 1683's chest as tired eyes slowly lit up. Even that bit of subtle joy was enough to make this trip worth it.

Little Brother checked the price on the cover- they only took the books that had those because they seemed cheaper than the rest- and then picked up the other one.

1683 let him have a minute to browse that one as well before he raised a hand, the motion gathering his Little Brother’s attention. He informed him that they needed to get moving, and 1684 apologized, adding that he had something for Big Brother as well.

Before he could deny the gift, his Little Brother pulled out a package of mint tea leaves and 1683 lowered his hand, realizing that his one weakness had been discovered. Brown eyes danced as Little Brother put it back in the bag, adding what he'd brought and closing the flap, zipping open a side pocket and then counting out the mutant's trading paper- money- from what they had.

1684 handed it to him and he held up five fingers, reminding him that if he didn't come back in five minutes, he was to head to the Bunker and not look back. Little Brother rolled his eyes, and 1683 huffed at his inability to take the danger seriously.

They didn't know if there was someone waiting in the store itself, and just because they'd never seen anyone yet, didn't mean that wouldn't change.

1683 waited until he got a nod of consent, one that seemed more to pacify him than anything, and then he made his way out into the store. He remained on the defensive as he located one of the money storing machines and then slipped their payment within, racing to the back again.

There was a moment of intense panic when Little Brother was nowhere to be found, and then he realized the can had been moved and he was standing by the door.

The adrenaline in his veins hardened the glare 1683 gave him, but Little Brother was undisturbed, locking the door and silently heading out into the alley.

He let his nerves out in a long sigh, but obediently followed suit. It was about time they got below anyway. They had their supplies, and Little Brother would be safe and underground for another week or so. He'd check the windows for new projects after Little Brother was settled in the Bunker.

1684 shivered and 1683 realized that the temperature had dropped some. Knowing how easily Little Brother tended to get sick, he locked a hand on his elbow and urged him forward. They didn't have the resources that mutants did and their Bunker was surrounded by area that was far from sanitary, so the less they taunted fate, the better.

Little Brother allowed it, taking one last look at the street lights behind them before they dived deeper into the alley. Sometimes he felt bad that Little Brother didn't get to see much of the city, and was wary of the ignorance of mutants that 1684 bore because of it.

However, this was the price he was willing to pay. Little Brother was safe and healthy, though he probably wouldn't sleep that day since he had new books to read. Even if his choices to keep him protected left Little Brother bitter on hard nights, as long as he still had a Little Brother to be annoyed with him, 1683 would have no regrets.

Waving him down the open manhole, he watched Little Brother descend into the dank sewers. With one last careful scan around them, 1683 leapt after him, leaving the dangers and worries of the surface behind.

This is one of my earliest works while examining the bros and their relationships and BB’s thoughts on everything and sometimes they seem pretty bland in my writing because even I cannot do them justice but that’s okay because I love them so much!

Perhaps one day the world shall too. 💚💜💙💚

Are we gonna see more of the beef Mikey has with Bella? Because tbh the way he gets mad at her for no reason has me cackling

I wouldn't really say he has beef with her? He gets mad at her because she picks a fight with a good friend of his for (to Mikey's perspective) no good reason. And deprives their group of a horticulturist, which they kind of need. Also, add to that, he's projecting hardcore. Mikey would kill to be with Donnie again, so the fact that the first thing Bella does upon seeing her brother for the first time in forever is argue with him pisses him off. He wishes he had what she was given, and to him it feels like she's taking it for granted.

Other than that, they're kind of just very different people. Bella is very abrasive and can seem like an asshole to people who don't know her and don't realize that she legitimately doesn't realize she's coming off that way. She's actually very similar in personality to Donnie, but unlike Donnie she doesn't have that older sibling softness he shows to Mikey. (I mean, she is taking a sort of older sister/crazy aunt role with them, but not really in a soft way) And even with their established relationship, it's still shown that Mikey doesn't always get along with Donnie either-he still jokes about kicking him out of the group and drags him along with the rest of the fam.

Also, like, Mikey be going through shit. Harkening back to her being a lot like Donnie, in conjunction to Raph and Leo and now even April hanging out with her a lot, I think Mikey might feel like Bella is taking Donnie's place. Which is stupid and he'd logically know that-they all very clearly still miss Donnie and want him back, and half the time she's actively helping them work on that. But that's how he feels.

I don't know if I've talked about this on the blog or just in the comments, but I have mentioned that the way the sibs (Leo and April in particular) are treating Mikey is in part just them taking their frustration out on him. Now it's less of a problem because they can direct their negative feelings towards Draxum, (can't really unload on him, but just being angry in his direction is helping) but before they knew that Draxum was responsible? They were just angry and frustrated and terrified, and without a target to direct it at all those feelings were just stewing inside them. Mikey was there, and he was someone they could justify blowing up at. He didn't deserve it, and deep down they knew he didn't deserve it, but those feelings had to come out somewhere.

I feel like Bella is a lot of that for Mikey. He's directing a lot of his negative feelings at her because she's an easy target for it. And part of the reason it's hard to write Mikey's side is because I feel like he's emotionally mature enough to realize that he's doing that. Logically, he knows that the fam isn't trying to replace Donnie-she might remind them of him, but they still want Donnie back. He knows that not every family is like his and knows that some people do have to cut their siblings off. He knows that Bella isn't trying to be an asshole and is just socially inept. But Mikey be going through it. He knows that he's taking it out on Bella, he knows that it's not fair, but confronting that makes him feel like shit about himself. And he just doesn't have that in him.

#doth #doth asks #yeah if only i could translate this into mikey talking to leo about it #i feel like that would be too on the nose though #especially at the point in the story #michelangelo

you may not use me as your factory

Title taken from the poem Right to Life by Marge Piercy.

Prompt: Something Unexpected

TMNT IDW.

Based on Ibenholt's amazing Rule 63!Leonardo series, This coincidence has been carefully planned - Lavinia/Shredder. Also inspired by certain Supreme Court Justices I would like to set on fire right now.

(warnings for past underage noncon, past brainwashing, teen pregnancy, discussion of abortions, unexpected pregnancy, suicidal thoughts, self-harm)

You can find the whole collection on AO3 here.

There's a spider crawling up the wall.

She just makes it out in the lab's crisp light, pushing its determined self higher and higher. They'll probably need to get it out of here before it ends up in the mutagen Donnie's been talking about experimenting with or something equally gruesome.

"Nia?"

They could take it outside, maybe. Or she could just crush it now. It wouldn't make much difference in the end.

"Nia?"

She has vague memories of being that small, that narrowed down to her own little world, in a lab much like this one. She still can't decide if that was better; she didn't have any control of her life, sure, but it's not like that stopped being an issue when she mutated.

"Nia!"

"Hmm?" Lavinia peels her gaze from the spider, shifting slightly and feeling the exam table crinkle under her. When did they get an exam table? Did they set it up when she was here, or did it come while she was...elsewhere?

"Just...say something. I need to know that you're processing this."

Because that's a question they actually have to ask, these days. She could have led the mission to get this exam table for all she knows, what with the Swiss cheese she's got in place of a brain.

"Nia, can you look at me? Please?"

Okay, she can do that. She can look at her brother, her Donnie, who loves her. She can look at him, and from there she can look at the tangle of wires and gizmos he's cobbled together, all leading to the same glowing screen. Lights flickering in the darkness and it's a such a hopeful fucking image, really, unless you're ninja and the light in the dark can kill you.

She has a wild thought that if she'd just kept quiet about the nausea, the cravings, the dizzy spells, the headaches, the constant bathroom breaks, all the shit that's been cropping up recently, then she'd never have to acknowledge the existence of those lights. Eventually it would go away on its own, but now, now she's made it real.

There are three of them. Three little bombs living in her guts, ready to tear her apart--already tearing her apart, because no matter what happens the truth is she will never be able to undo this moment. As with all of the other ways Oroku Saki has violated her, there is no going back.

"How," her breath hitches and she swallows, clears her throat. When she speaks again her voice is dead calm. "How far along am--" No, that's not it; Nia doesn't want to frame this as a journey she's taking. "How developed are they?"

"It's hard to say." He turns to look at the screen, biting his lip. “Turtles usually lay eggs three to six weeks after conception but with your altered biology we should be considering a different timeframe. It’s been almost two months since–since we got you back, so…”

One month, three weeks, four days, and winding into the twentieth hour. But who’s counting?

“And they’re…viable?” she says carefully. Alive doesn’t fit these blurry little lumps, these insignificant clusters of cells, even if there are some humans who’ve convinced themselves otherwise.

Donnie glances at his computer, taps some keys. “I think so. It’s hard to tell–”

“What with the father being a recently resurrected homicidal maniac, and from another species to boot?” She’s shocked by how cold her voice is, how dry. Shouldn’t she be screaming or crying or something right now?

Her brother goes still, staring at his computer. He knows, of course he knows, they all know, she saw her bruises and bite marks, they’ve heard her wake up screaming for her husband. But they’ve never talked about it so bluntly before. She hasn’t dared.

Right now, though, she doesn’t feel daring. She doesn’t feel much of anything, really. There’s an emptiness growing inside her, like Saki’s last little bundle of surprises have started nibbling away at her guts.

Donnie sits up and looks at her. “Nia,” he says quietly, and pauses, mouth working as he tries to work out what to say about this fresh hell. “Nia,” he tries again.

And suddenly Nia can’t look at him, can’t face his pity and shame and barely suppressed horror. “I’m going for a run,” she announces, sliding off the table.

Donnie doesn’t stop her as she strides across the room and grabs her swords, sliding them into place on her shell. The familiar weight is almost comforting.

“Saki,” she moans playfully as he wraps his fingers around her shoulder straps and tugs her back against him. He chuckles, fingers passing idly over her stomach.

Almost.

Her other brothers are out tonight and there's no sign of Splinter, thank God. Hey, Sensei, you're going to be a grandpa, and the father is our mortal enemy who brainwashed and raped me to show how much he loved me! She’s already running by the time she reaches the entrance into the sewers.

Nia doesn't pace herself, just runs, feet slapping on unforgiving stone as her mask tails snap in her own breeze. Running, running, running through the tunnels that are so dark even her brothers hesitate to enter, but they haven't lived with the absolute darkness the way Nia has, haven't learned how to let it into the deepest corners of their hearts and minds.

Once, Saki was the only one who could keep up with her on a dead run through pitch dark, the one who'd sprint at her side without so much as a whisper of hesitation. Fearless, he'd called her, and she's had to train herself not to flinch when Raph uses the nickname now.

Had Saki considered this possibility? Or had he been like her, stupidly believing that it was impossible for a (mostly) human man to knock up a freakish turtle woman, as if her very existence wasn't an impossibility already.

Could he have wanted this? Did his batshit delusions include a baby makes three scenario, a little monster to take over his bloodstained kingdom? She doesn't fucking know, and that feels like one of the most terrifying parts of it all.

Nia thinks, wildly, of climbing to the surface and finding a decent-sized height to jump from, but she's been hurling herself from quite a few places since she left Saki, and none of that got rid of her little 'problem' before she had to find out about it.

Or you could jump from somewhere higher and not worry about sticking the landing, whispers a voice that sounds a bit like Kitsune and a bit like her own. Or you could go the simple way and use your swords. Or you could find a nice deep river and open your mouth--

She can't, she won't, she won't do that to her brothers, her father. You don't think they'd be relieved, deep down? They wouldn't have to worry about keeping what's left of you together or bear the shame of your little parasite. They'd be better off, they'd all be--

Nia crashes to a halt, banging her hands against the wall so hard she feels blood running down her palms. Her knees quiver and she sinks to the ground in a sweaty, shaking tangle, hugging herself.

"Fuck," she rasps into the dark, voice trembling. And then, louder. "Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!"

Look at that, Fearless finally learned how to swear, Raph cracks in her head, because her skull is a fucking party these days, why not? Nia laughs hysterically and slams her fist into the wall.

She screams as she does it--not because it hurts, although it does sting like a motherfucker--but because she has to get the noise building in her head out somehow before it rips her apart from the inside out. So she screams, the sound echoing through the dark, and hits and screams and hits and screams and screams.

More blood spills as her scales rip off, as her flesh tears. Bones shudder and crack in her fingers. But she doesn't stop hitting and she doesn't stop screaming until the screams start to turn into deep, body-shaking sobs, until she's crying so hard, she can't even throw a punch anymore. Useless. So fucking useless.

She collapses in on herself, still crying, and keeps it up until the darkness slips through her eyelids and carries her away.

And then she's standing in a familiar garden, a brook trickling gently at her feet while the wind rustles gently over her scales. The scents of flowers she hasn't seen since her first life hang in the air, sweet and heavy.

"Daughter."

Nia turns to find Tang Shen standing beside her, hair hanging loose, eyes world-weary and sorrowful. She holds out her arms and Nia stumbles into them, letting fresh tears spill down her cheeks.

"I can't, Mama," she whispers. "I can't do it--I won't."

She doesn't want children, isn't sure if she'll ever want them. And she certainly doesn't want them now, like this, from him.

"I'm sorry," she whispers, holding on for dear life. If she's rejected in the next moment, she can take it. She'll have to, because she won't go back on this, not for this.

But her mother's voice is gentle, fingers soft as they run down the back of Nia's shell. "It's all right, love. None of this is your fault." She plants a soft kiss on the top of Nia's head. "Be ashamed of nothing, do you understand?"

"It's--it's hard," Nia forces out. "It's so

hard,

Mama."

"I know, my sweet, brave girl." Shen whispers. She lowers them to the bank, the flowers rustling gently under their bodies. "But you'll make it, darling. I know you will." She sounds so certain Nia almost manages to believe her.

"I love you no matter what you choose," Shen murmurs into her ear. "Anyone who deserves you will, my beautiful--"

"Nia!"

Her eyes snap open with a gasp, and she squints up into a painfully bright lamp. Donnie kneels over her, eyes wide as he pulls her upright.

"We gotta stop meeting like this," Nia mumbles, and winces at the flare of pain in her raw, aching throat "How...?"

"Tracking chip, remember?" Donnie throws her arm around his neck and staggers to his feet with a grunt. Right, she'd had them all chipped after she got back from Saki, unable to stand the idea of losing one of them again. "But it took ages for the signal to go through down here...you scared the shit out of me, Nia."

"'M sorry," she mumbles, glancing at her feet as they shamble out of the tunnel. "I got angry, and then I got tired." She snorts. "Dunno how Raph does it."

"A steady diet of Red Bull and emo music, no doubt," Donnie mutters dryly, like Nia can't feel how tightly he's squeezing her.

"Donnie?" she asks.

A beat. "Yeah?"

"I can't keep it. I...I don't know if there's something you can do, or if we'll have to break--break the eggs, but I can't keep it."

He doesn't hesitate. "Okay."

"Okay?"

"Of course okay, Nia. I'll have to do some research, a bit of practice, but I think I can figure something out. I'll get Fugitoid to help me with extranormal biology if I need to--without sharing details," he adds, as Nia tenses. "No one has to know who doesn't need to."

Raph. Mikey. Will she tell them? She's not sure of the answer, or even whether she'll have much of a choice. But Splinter...

"Father can't know," she whispers. Nia doesn't know how he'd react to all this, but something tells her she doesn't want to find out.

"He won't," Donnie says firmly, hoisting her a little higher and clicking off his lamp as they draw towards a lighter section of the sewers." But even if he does, there's nothing he can make you do, understand?"

"Yeah," Nia says, clinging on a little tighter, letting her brother help her hold herself together. And step by step, they make their way into the light.

Starting with Hedge Fund Homeboys to ease myself into the earlier episodes (rather than getting whiplash from going straight from the s3 finale to the extended pilot).

c1x4 tho technically I think it is 1x3...?

I have 45 minutes & I need to watch a 45 minute episode. I recognize that from the intro, I love that abt these. Coffee <3 Whose dad is in what? Rehab? Grams had a party? Oh it was cinqo de mayo nvm. Love the music

Senieh? Lanie <3 I prefer esposito's hair here compared to s3. I was literally thinking about viking burials, mostly bc of unus annus.

Hold on I saw those chairs & I thought they were viking celtic shields lol. Ah yes, I remember the good old castle sherlock moments. I also really prefer beckett's hair & character design. Nice scarf, nice jacket. Who had the money to send rick to all those different schools & how did he get kicked out?

Amanda, Romy, Brandon, Spencer, & Max. Really 2009 isn't it. lmao what a bad video. They're lying True, he can't get in trouble he kind of got into drugs?

Goat song...? Casually twists his ear lol.

Love how she just lies abt going to york.

Ah, I hadn't heard mention of it much at all in s2 when I first got into the fandom, I heard from the fandom that ryan used to be a narcocop but I hadn't heard it from the show. I see now. It was season one. KR: During my narc days, this area was pretty much an open bazaar, especially at night.

Castle sherlock moments Drug dealers can have hobbies ms panizzon.

Hey, Detective, get over here! You see someone you recognize, Mrs. Falcigno? No, I miss your sparkling personality. Yeah!

RM: It's not about putting him on his heels. This is about building a case for the DA. RM: Watch this. Watch her now. KB: Maybe you can drop me a line in about twenty-five years. Scoville: Coupla dudes. Coupla chicks. One was Asian. Kinda hot. XD ok bestie

y'all should get your story straight (but not too straight) Having seen it twice I'm starting to think they DID have a straight story. & I can so so easily see the stuff going on.

They could let Romy into that room first to see that they can indeed not see her. If Ryan can hear beckett why can't the numbered fellows?

Just straight up asks her "do you do drugs" & I love these two & their relationship. Tailor, Kelsie, Paige. We know their names & I remember they show up later. This is me & my mom. Well i'm actually a bad kid sometimes & alexis is an angel but other than that. I love & trust my mom so much.

Gentlemen gentlemen!

I like all the purple & at least Ryan looks somewhat normal (so I'll be able to ease into the pilot without whiplash) Ryan just walking around with a rick castle book under his arm lol; kate really did get him into those books

Yankman & his emo lookin hair. Yeah rich kid rebels. ngl I kinda like yankman Lol the knicks game with montgomery, castle, & the mayor. ha, castle but acab

Becks wow kinda rude in front of the parents. "we did it all the time" is crazy & not a good cover. Wow gun laws in the usa huh... Murder not manslaughter? Why did they call ryan to talk to beckett That ought to be fun to explain /s

I love the "you should be writing" screensaver Girl fare dodging isn't even a crime. Public transport should be free. Ok good for you, you swiped your card the next day w/o riding it & that is justice. You lied to him but then you told him & that is also justice. Lmao ice cream for breakfast "after the DC trip" RC: that's my girl!

Yeah...

I love Lanie & her hair WOAH THAT IS HELLA DRUNK But who would move the body & then frame someone looking guilty? Unless! they moved the body first & then when they realized they'd get caught THEN they killed/framed max!

lol zen koan one handed clapping

KB: If by screwing around, you mean intentionally putting a bullet in a chamber, knowing that Max was gonna shoot Donny, then yes. You and I are in total agreement. Not a good line imp

Kid's lying Mad respect to these kids for their crime genius stories straight.

This video is not proof of where you were last night like it sounded like you said. Gosh they just.. filmed it.. Except that one time pendrick accidentally broadcasted a murder

Already finishing each other's sentences

Amanda has a great aesthetic. r/whyweretheyfilming Beautiful green shirt on beckett. I bet he did. Oh her face as she realizes.

Brandon is insane. Ew u'r a high schooler. idc if you have a nice jacket, you're a dickwad.

Not yet. But one day I'm gonna write it. RC: Funny thing is, if he did, Brandon would've known. It would've popped up on his shared folder as soon as their phones... *gestures really funny* Is there a record of syncing???

...Fun? Suck a lemon little man? I confess... that I'm dying to cop a feel under your cop blouse. I hate him sm

It took me a while to finish this bc I had to go away for the weekend but finally I'm finishing this.

Castle is using his dramatic writer skills to get into this kid's head

Rick going with Alexis <3

Martha... Martha...

I LITERALLY HAD THAT MUCH OF THE EPISODE LEFT FML

Thanks to everyone who’s been following along. @exovapor

Warning: Language

Chapter 1: Secrets

Chapter 2: Revelations

Chapter 3: Evidence

“The Foot Clan?” Kassie frowned. “I thought they disappeared when the Shredder did.”

The turtles and April looked around at each other.

“Someone should tell her the truth about that day,” April insisted.

“I don’t know,” Leo began.

Mikey interrupted, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

“That’s not a good id-“ Leo tried again.

“It all began with four brothers. All four were born turtles, but with the mutagen flowing through their veins, they became men! One was made more handsome and heroic than the others, but I don’t hold it against them,” he started, motioning to himself.

Leo’s head was in his hands, Donnie was outright grinning, and Raph just looked done.

“How many times has he watched Frozen 2?” Kassie asked with a chuckle. April shrugged.

“Picture this: The Foot are breaking Shredder out of police custody. We show up and kick Foot ass with our awesome garbage truck. Then Shredder disappears!” Mikey is acting out the story by this point, arms flailing. “April goes to TCRI and sees these two thugs get mutated and she steals some of the mutagen. The Foot Clan chases her and Casey pulls a Jason Voorhees on them-“

“Wait, he killed them?” Kassie interrupted.

“No, dudette. He wore his hockey mask. Duh!”

“Mikey, wrap this up,” Leo pleaded, exasperated.

“I’m a storyteller, bro! Don’t kill my vibe!” Mikey pouted.

“Okay!” Donnie cut in, “Short version: Shredder used alien mutagen to create two mutant henchmen. He collected pieces of alien technology to open a portal to another dimension. The crazy shit that took place that day that stuff was flying through the sky? That was the Technodrome, an alien warship. We sent that slimy pink fucker back where he cane from. Shredder was working with him and he disappeared that day so it’s my theory that the alien commander, Kraang, did away with him.”

Kassie’s eyes were wide. “Aliens? Hot damn.”

“Is that really a very far-fetched idea when you are discussing it with mutant turtles?” Donnie smirked.

“Touché. So, if Shredder isn’t behind this, who is?”

Leo sighed, “Baxter Stockman was working for Shredder. He would have been able to create this super mutagen, no problem. But he disappeared, too.”

April piped up, “We should see if any of his records are at TCRI.”

“Agreed. We also need to go through the security footage from the genetics lab, and I could use some help since there are quite a few cameras in the building,” Donnie said.

Leo nodded, “Alright, April can go with Raph and myself. We will break into TCRI and see what we can find. Kassie, can you help Donnie and Mikey look through the footage?”

“Absolutely.” she answered.

Raph was staring Leo down. He didn’t care at all for the thought of Kassie hanging out with his younger brothers all night. He wanted to spend the time getting to know her.

“Gear up, Raph. We’re on the move,” Leo barked.

Raph gritted his teeth, but if he said something, she would hear. So he bored holes into his brother’s head as he checked his weapons, falling in beside April. Donnie was already babbling techno-mumbo jumbo to her. He risked a glance over his shoulder, and felt a tingle in his tummy when he saw that Kassie was watching him walk away. She offered a sweet smile and a little wave. He threw a hand up and turned back around. He was nervous, afraid to hope for anything. But maybe, just maybe, Lady Luck would shine down on him for once.

🍀🍀🍀

Kassie sighed quietly as she watched the big bara trailing after his leader. It would have been nice to spend a little more time with him. Oh well. Donnie was talking away as he pulled up the hacked security feeds from the lab break-in.

“So, grab that chair over there and drag it over. We can each watch a monitor. May as well get comfortable,” he gestured.

“Did an alarm sound?” Kassie asked.

“What?”

“How did the police know about the break-in?” she prompted him.

“Well, yes, I suppose an alarm was tripped,” he agreed.

“So, if you can hack into the security cameras, can’t you see when and where in the building it got triggered?” she asked.

Donnie gasped, “Holy shit, why didn’t I think of that?”

He started tapping away at the keyboard, mumbling to himself. Kassie looked over her shoulder and found Mikey rifling through the kitchen cabinets.

“Bingo!”

She turned back swiftly. Donnie had pulled up a particular feed and sure enough, there were the masked men climbing in through a ceiling tile. Kassie pulled out her iphone quickly, and searched what business was on the floor directly above the lab. It appeared to be offices set up for rental.

“Donnie, I need you to find out who is renting the office right above where we see them come in,” Kassie told the tall nerd.

Donnie immediately started typing, sparing her a glance, “You have an excited look. What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking whoever we are looking for is renting that room because their alarm didn’t go off.”

Donatello paused. “Brilliant.”

🚨🚨🚨

Raphael was sulking. They had broken into the TCRI building without incident thus far. April had used some techno-tool that Donnie had made for her to get in without tripping the alarm. Then she used some type of disruptor bomb to scramble the security cameras. Another gift from the genius. Raph was getting more than a little annoyed with his brother. April lead the way to Dr. Stockman’s old office while the brothers trailed behind.

“What is your problem?” Leo asked. “You are usually the first one out of the lair.”

“I ain’t got a problem. Do you?” he sneered.

Leo glared, “Get your head in the game, Raph.”

Raphael puffed up his chest and opened his mouth to argue, when April cut in.

“Here we are!”

Both baras followed her into the office. Raph stood guard in the doorway while Leo and April looked through old files.

“Dammit!” April groused.

“What is it?” Leo asked.

She held up an empty accordion file, “This is labeled ‘Kraang Mutagen’, and all the files are missing.”

“Who else would know that he had this info? This all has to be within the Clan, right?” Leo mused.

Raph grunted, “Is that it? We done here?”

“What’s your big hurry, Raph?” Leo raised a brow ridge. “It’s the girl, isn’t it? Wanting to get back to the cute redhead? You don’t stand a chance, man.”

Anger began to boil Raph’s blood. April looked back and forth between them as they got in each other’s faces.

“I don’t know what the fuck ya think yer talking about, but ya need to shut yer trap,” he snarled.

Leo glared right back, “We are mutant turtles. We don’t get the girl. We don’t live happily ever after.”

Raph shook his head vehemently as he turned away from his older brother.

“I’m trying to save you from the heartache, Raphael,” he tried to explain but Raph was already racing out the door.

April put a hand on Leo’s shoulder and squeezed, before heading out into the hallway.

“Give him time, Leo.”

Leo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He really didn’t want to see his brother get hurt, but he was afraid that was exactly where things were heading.

📁📁📁

“Eureka!” Kassie yelled.

Donnie whirled around in his chair, leaping to his feet to look over her shoulder.

“What? What did you find?” he asked, rubbing his hands together.

“Oroku, Karai. That’s the name on the rental agreement,” she announced triumphantly.

Donnie grabbed her phone and looked closer. About that time, Raphael came in and saw his brother huddled close to Kassie. His nostrils flared as he felt a mix of hurt and anger. Feeling betrayed by both Don and Leo, he stormed off to his weight room.

Kassie noticed and called after him, “We know who’s running the Foot now!”

He stopped for a moment, not speaking.

Donnie finally looked up, “It’s Karai, Shredder’s second in command.”

Raph rolled his shoulders, then kept walking. Kassie watched after him with a frown. Then Donnie started talking again and she returned her attention to the matter at hand.

Minutes later, Leo came sliding down the pipe with April clinging to his neck. They landed with a splash, the other redhead looking disgruntled. Both Leo and Donnie tried to speak at the same time, but Donnie won out.

“Karai? She’s leading the Foot Clan now?” April repeated.

Leo nodded slowly, “It makes sense. After Sacks went to prison, Karai was all he had left. She just stepped up to fill the void.”

“Do we think she’s the one who took Baxter Stockman’s notes on the project?” April pondered.

Donnie nodded eagerly, “She has to be. I bet she knows where he is, too. Maybe even using him to complete the mutagen.”

“What are we talking about?”

Everyone stopped and turned to look at Mikey who was chowing down on a bag of wasabi peas. Kassie chuckled at their groans, then looked at her smartwatch.

“Shit, I’ve gotta go. Val thinks I’m out on a date, but if I don’t get home soon, she’s gonna find him and skin him!”

She grabbed her jacket and gloves, and headed for the exit.

“Donnie, you’ve got my number and email. Keep me updated!” she called over her shoulder.

Halfway down the sewer tunnel, she heard footsteps catching up to her. Turning around, she was surprised to see Raph running after her. And a very pissed off looking Leo standing at the end of the tunnel, arms crossed.

“Hey, Raph,” she greeted when he caught up.

Raph put on his most charming smile, damn was it lethal, and held out a massive hand.

“If yer in a hurry, I’d be happy to get ya to yer apartment in no time,” he offered.

Kassie glanced back at Leo. There was clearly something she was missing here, but the opportunity to spend some time alone with the big brute was too good to pass up. She put her much smaller hand in his and nodded.

“Thanks-!” she started, but he lifted her into his arms and took off like a shot.

They maneuvered through several tunnels before he climbed a ladder and lifted a manhole cover. Reaching the fresh air above ground was a nice change, but he didn’t waste any time before she was in his arms again and scaling a fire escape. When she realized that he intended to travel by rooftops, she hugged his thick neck like a little spider monkey.

“Ya okay?” Raph murmured, leaping from one apartment building to another.

Kassie had her eyes shut tight most of the time, choosing to hide her face in his throat.

“I don’t really like heights,” she mumbled.

His voice softened, “Don’t worry, I got ya. I’ll never let you fall.”

“I’ll hold you to that,” she whispered.

Maybe it was her imagination, but it felt like he held her a little tighter after that. As much as the travel frightened her, she was sorry when it was over. He had stopped and climbed down to an alley by her building. Raph let her down reluctantly, and she was slow to release his neck. They stood staring at their feet for a solid minute, before Kassie finally looked up.

“Thank you, for getting me home safe,” she murmured, sincerely.

He rolled his shoulders, and gave a dismissive shrug.

“It was no big deal.”

Kassie smiled, “It was to me. So, um, how should I get in touch with you? I mean, if I need to. Do you have a phone?”

Raph raised a brow ridge, then pulled a device out of his shorts pocket. Handing it to her, he murmured, “Just enter yer number and call it. I’ll save it later.”

Kassie typed in her number, hit dial, and hung up as soon as her phone rang.

“Guess I should get back. Ya good from here, right?” Raph asked, shuffling his feet a bit.

“Yeah, I’m good. Thanks again, Raphael,” she said, reaching out and squeezing his hand as she walked past.

Her heart was pounding by the time she walked through the front doors of her apartment building. She walked in a daze to the elevators, and relived the way home in her mind all the way up to her floor. He was so big, and gruff, and if she was being honest, kinda scary. But he was also passionate, and protective, and sweet. It was time to admit to herself that she had the hots for Mr. Big, Bad, and Brawny.

Kassie opened the apartment door, took off her gloves, hung up her jacket, unzipped and toed off her boots, while humming to herself. She didn’t even notice Valerie sitting on the couch, waiting up for her. Val frowned. She was concerned because her research had turned up virtually nothing on Jared. It was like he didn’t exist outside of the NYPD. And now Kassie was looking way too happy after her second date with him. Something felt really off in her gut. She needed to do more research. She needed April.

🔍🔍🔍

Leo was waiting for him when he arrived back home. His smile quickly became a scowl at the look on the leader’s face.

“Fuck off, Leo. I ain’t in the mood,” Raphael snapped.

He pushed past his brother, heading straight to his bedroom. Just as he opened the door, Leo’s voice carried to him.

“Alright, be mad. But remember, I love you, bro.”

Raph shut the door without slamming it. Leo decided to count that as a win.
