whaddup, broski!! if you’re taking requests, i’d like to request the mm! bois falling for a fem! reader who’s basically raph. loves fighting, loves working out, loud asf, cursed with resting bitch face, blunt, sarcastic, sensitive, all that jazz. but, once you get to know her, she’s actually really funny and sweet. NEVER afraid to speak her mind, so she may come across as rude or sassy at times, but she never means to be. (DEFINITELY has adhd)

a/n: hi. sorry it took me so long to complete this, i've might've been slightly obsessed with baldurs gate 3 and romancing hard rn (might actually write a oneshot with said romance interest and my tav) i hope you're having a great day!

MM!TMNT with a Reader like Raph

Leo:

Oml when he meets you along with April, he’s both worried and excited

Floods of nervousness kept pricking at him as the boys questioned April, his eyes moving towards you.

When you kept glancing towards him, his worries only increased.

Was he doing something wrong? Was he being too weird?

Turns out, you were just curious as to why he was hiding behind everyone else.

Initially, your loudness and bluntness surprised and scared the boys. What could they do?

But Leo was drawn to you, no matter how loud you got.

You and Raph quickly bonded over your shared love of working out and excessive violence.

Any mission was a mixture of yelling and confusion among the rest of the boys while you and Raph took care of business.

Leo’s crush on you, however? Massive.

You thought the comments on his brief crush on April was excessive? They’ve reached a new threshold here.

Multiple comments of: “Leo’s got no rizz” and “Wanna try that again?”

Before the ultimate battle with Superfly however, something quite interesting happened. You let out a different side.

As you both travelled towards your probable imminent death, you nudged him.

“Hey, Leo. Can I tell you something?

“What? Oh, yeah totally. What is it?” he said, surprised you weren’t boisterous for once.

“I actually think Leon Ardo is a better name. Might take it someday.”

Leo’s face looked confused, and also slightly flattered. His heart started to race, and his cheeks felt warm.

“Oh! Uh, thanks. That means a lot.”

“Feelings mutual. You’re doing great.”

After the battle with Superfly, it was certainly a shock.

Debris scattered everywhere, people cheering and screaming, and blood. Everywhere.

Thankfully, you had a great support system in the form of Splinter and your parents. Also screamo karaoke.

At school, you both were constantly divided. The loudmouth, and the teacher’s pet.

But that didn’t stop you. And it didn’t stop you from taking him to prom.

Raph:

Instant connection. Like immediately.

Both of you supportively screaming and yelling while working out was a bonding activity for both of you.

You got along with his brothers moderately well, more thankful that you could balance him out.

Anytime you had goons for interrogation, it was instantaneous for you, information spilling out like water out of a jug.

“What’s wrong with your face?” “It’s always like this.”

As you got to know the boys, you slowly let loose. Your previous intimidating facade was quickly melted by your sweet compliments.

Every plan that was made, your thoughts slipped between your lips without fail. They refer to it as “brutal criticism”

Eventually, you and Raph grew extremely close

That’s when Raph realised he had a thing for you.

Anytime he tried to draft up a confession, your resting face would discourage him

He actually confessed on the battlefield, when he thought you died

Did it over your unconscious body and everything

Imagine his surprise when you opened your eyes, and when you confessed as well.

Donnie:

You know his anime brain? He immediately compares you to those femme fatale characters.

Daki, Revy, even Asuka. All of those characters he saw in you.

Your loudness and bluntness were viewed through a rose-tinted glass

Yet, he was petrified of you.

Only at first though

Mostly because it looks like you could break him with just your knuckle

After, he slowly started warming up to you

He legitimately put you on a pedestal when he heard you mention Attack on Titan for the first time

Soulbonded after that.

He kept brainstorming workout plans for you

Most nights composed of you looking up anime character workout plans

During the fights with Superfly and other mutants, you kept decimating through enemies

Raph was secretly fanboying, while Donnie?

Oh boy, he was floored.

After that mission, he kept analysing if you liked him back or not.

This is how you noticed the way he acted around you.

It shifted, changed.

He seemed embarrassed whenever you watched him listen to K-POP

Or anime, even though it was a shared interest between the two of you.

Before the fight with Superfly, you lightly confronted him

Which, of course, led to him rambling-confessing to you.

You swore that you felt the same, but to make it semi-official after the fight.

Now, the two of you are known as the brute hackers, the culprits of who exactly is hacking the school’s gradebook and editing grades.

Mikey:

Oooh. If I could describe your relationship in its early stages

Very much golden retriever and guard dog energy

Even though you kept responding with snarky comments, you’d always indulge in his questions about the human world

Anytime you had your resting face on, he’d try to cheer you up

Even if you were just staring at a wall

If we’re including loudness, you two were virtually the same

Mikey only being slightly quieter than you

He always runs jokes by you before telling them

Loves your jokes and your vibes to the ten fold

The rest of the brothers were petrified of you at first, but not Mikey

Kept sticking to you like a magnet

During the Superfly battle, he kept worrying over you

Like never before

When they’re all captured, you fought alongside Splinter as best as you could

But because your experience with martial arts isn’t the same as a martial arts master, you got kidnapped as well.

You wish you could’ve erased the defeated look on his face on you

After the fight, you felt a breath of fresh air flood you as you embraced everybody

It was hard adjusting to school life, but you had Mikey by your side

Constantly joking and supporting you

And you did the same, especially at his first day at Improv Club

You’d built him a support sign and everything.

It’s the middle of the week, have some dancing turtles

Spoilers below as I gush about my Mutant Mayhem Monday experience 🤗 please feel free to gush with me I wanna hear other people’s thoughts too!

First off… When Seth wanted to put the teenager in TMNT he meant it. Like, all the versions act like teenagers, but like Nickelodeon PG stereotypical teens. MM turtles were the realest PG-13 outta pocket 21st century teenagers I’ve ever seen and I love that shit because it’s the first time I actually felt like I was around the kids in middle school and high school again with the way they talk. Kinda appreciate Superfly cussing too? Like idk it’s Ice Cube and this villain goes hard tryna kill some teenage turtles he formally saw as his lil cousins, let the grown mutant cuss

Also uh, was not expecting to be sad so early in the movie? Like I could tell from the trailers it was gon be an emotional rollercoaster but shit like ten minutes in and these turtles are fuckin depressed. And to see it really hit me because in every other version (except for Bayverse) the turtles literally never let not being part of the human world get to them. In the shows especially they’re so well adjusted and never bothered by sticking to the shadows. Then there’s Rise where they pretty much go out whenever they want and indulge in most of the human world stuff they want to. For these guys to be so stunted and desperate to have more freedom was so heart wrenching. Especially when Splinter grounds them for a whole month and the reality sinks in of how much they know the life they want isn’t an option for them

Wasn’t expecting any kind of ship or romance but that crush Leo has on April hit me like truck because…… holy crap the Leo-April pair has never been a thing? On top of that this is only the second on screen black April we’ve seen and I’ve been a Leo kinnie across the board since day one so to see this combo of my favorite character liking a black girl is making me lose my mind 🥲 and like it got me thinking of several of my favorite shows and the single characters I kin in those and if they’ve ever had black love interests and it’s just still not a common normalized thing honestly.

I’m sure a lot of people aren’t excited for the prospect of ships coming back (especially after 2012 scarred us) but as a Leo lover and black girl it got me so excited to see something like this. I’m just hopeful and optimistic they won’t mess it up like a lot of shows do. The “this is just as friends line” already makes me a little worried bc that trope never has a good history but I have faith they’ll handle things tastefully and not make it toxic or messy

MURDER THE SHREKS!

“I assume you’d wanna be on camera. ‘Cause you have, like a very camera ready look…” OKAY SMOOOOOTH LEONARDOOOOOO 👏🏽

Could not stop laughing while he was shooting his shot my face was literally donnie’s restraining myself from bursting out laughing

Just a couple of my favorite questions that April wrote down for them:

“Do you carry salmonella?” Look I still don’t know wtf salmonella is but it’s the second time a TMNT iteration has joked about it so I’m starting to think it has something specifically to do with turtles 👀

“Have you caught covid?” Oml covid exists in this world

“Are you the source of covid?” OUT OF LINE 💀

“How many people has the red bandana turtle stabbed? Does he need therapy?” Yes.

“Does sunlight cause you to burst into flames?” They’re- they’re not vampires? 😂

Leon Ardo deserves the world and whatever he wants in it give him everything 😭

I will never understand what made Donnie laugh so hard at the name Nardo other than it being because it’s his sibling and that it bothers Leo lmao

All imma say about the puke scene is that I’m glad I heard an “out of context” spoiler about it bc I knew exactly when to look away and I’m glad I did bc the scene lasted for so long??? 😀❓But hey at least I had Unwritten to listen too while I was sparing my eyes 😂

The sequence of them going around and shaking down those gangs and Superfly’s connections. BAD. ASS. And each of them got their own moments to shine? Loved it. Like they each even got to take point and have their moments where they got to kick in the door lol. And the fight scenes were just, muah. Chef’s kiss, they all looked amazing taking grown ass adults down together

Okay Splinter definitely gets the best dad award for putting together that little surprise party, with all the celebrity Chris’s and pretending to wait on them 🥺 so pure. It did make me sad the guys immediately left and you can just see such a sad dejected look on Splinter’s face, knowing he can’t provide what his kids really want or make them happy enough without it 🥲 At the very least they say thanks and that they appreciate but I would’ve at least stayed for a lil bit and gone along with it, Splinter just looked so excited about it and it was so sweet 😭

And he doesn’t even get upset though he knows they’re hiding something, he just says he’ll help them if they’ve gotten into trouble, which is something I’m sure almost every kid has wanted instead of having the kind of relationship where they’re more scared of telling their parents they messed up instead of handling it on their own

I love how musical Superfly’s family is 😂 Ray Filet just starts sing-introducing his name and Mondo and the other couple mutants when they drive with in the car trying to find music they could all sing to together 🥹 not to mention the musical references Superfly makes later that I’ll get to. “Kinda don’t wanna murder everyone on Earth, I just kinda wanna sing” Me too bruh.

Raph immediately going “goochi goochi goo” and playing peekaboo with Genghis frog is so underrated that boy has such a soft side he’s not even that afraid of showing at times, and maybe it’s continuing the trope of Raph having a soft spot for pets/animals? Who knows 😌

Yo I was kinda shook when that government guy knocked Leo out and he just fell unconscious on the ground 😶 Like we’re used to seeing the authorities be brutal especially in movies like this but that’s a whole teenager? You just assaulted a minor? 🙂 Crazy

Also I know it’s sad they got captured and drained painfully but Mikey in that scene was hilarious 😂 like even the way he was dramatically crying and Leo was just started to cry with him like “iM sO sOrRy mIkEeEeEy! 😭” gold. When one of his children is hurting Leo hurts too. One of my favorite moments 🤣

They literally started singing BTS while being tortured they’re so unserious but like in a serious way to them and I love it. Also the fact that they did it just to make Donnie feel better? So pure. Like Raph of all turtles offered to sing while being drained of blood (bc I refuse to use the m word 💀)

The way Splinter snuck in and soloed literal government soldiers single handedly? Badass. Never loved seeing a Splinter save his sons so much 🥹

“But it’s the only way we’ll be accepted.”

“No! We accept you!”

“You can come live with us! We accept you!”

“WE VIBE!”

Oml they’re so puuuuure 😭 I really thought this was gonna be a moment where the guys invite them all to come live with them and Splinter was gonna be like ‘aha 😬 whoa slow down there’ but damn nah he was just as enthusiastic as them inviting all those mutants to come live in their home forever “The more the merrier!” Like ugh he just loves finding family like Baxter Stockman and we see where the guys got their loving nature from 🥹

The amount of his soul Mikey put into that BROSEEEPH was so real like I’ve never heard the name broseph be said in any other way, I’m so glad they put that moment in there

“New York, New York!” “I’m the king of New York!”

Oml superfly’s a Broadway baby 🤗 he’s a big bad villain marching through time square and talking about King Kong but he’s fill gonna nerd out and make his musical theatre references 😂

“For once in your life you didn’t sound lame. You actually started to sound like a leader”

“That was really heartfelt Raph”

I love the Leo Raph dynamic in this movie. Like they don’t always agree or understand each other but they will show love towards one another and show mutual appreciation

Something about any of the turtles shells cracking always gets to me for some reason like those are some serious permanent injuries so I want to see if they do anything special with that in the sequel or show maybe 🤔 And I couldn’t tell if all of theirs cracked or just one, and if so which turtle it was. I think Leo or Raph. I feel like it was Leo but Raph’s are also starting to have a trend of getting cracks in their shells so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Also I do not want to judge what other people like to wear but why are Raph and Donnie the only normal dressed ones 😭 like Mikey looks like he’s going on vacation and Leo looks like he’s going to clock in at Best Buy 😂 tell me it’s because they have limited resources for clothes lmao. HE’S LITERALLY WEARING A LANYARD

Them taking off the masks was crazy honestly… like them deciding not to wear them made my brain pause until I realize they’re kids going to school now and not being ninjas all the time… they don’t need them anymore. I’m just so pleased with the fact that this movie was willing to do what all other iterations weren’t. I see why they’re getting a sequel and show already, these guys and the plot development deserve so much more exploration

Maybe I missed something in the beginning but I’m wondering where Stockman went. Like is he still in custody? Did he die? Because not seeing him again that’s what I assumed but we only saw him get arrested or whatever, so if anything I don’t get why Superfly and the others wouldn’t try to break him out 🤔 I was surprised they didn’t make him a villain though, but I’m pretty happy about him getting to be a more optimistic kind character tho

SHREDDER HAD ME SHOOK LIKE THE ARMOR ALREADY LOOKED SO COOL AND I WAS NOT EXPECTING THEM TO GET THE BIG BAD INVOLVED AHHHH I’M SO READY TO SEE THEM REACT TO THIS ANGRY GIANT TIN CAN

Although I do wonder if Shredder’s gonna have some personal gripe with them since they have a different backstory he doesn’t seem to be a part of. And shit now that they’re public and in school it’s gonna be so much easier for him to go after them 😅 pluses and minuses…

The soundtrack: golden. Cultured. Nothing but range. Goes from a 90’s rap song to Natasha Bedingfield’s soulful 2000’s song. Most movies only ever have all pop mainstream songs or only rap songs because they think they can’t mix but MM does it effortlessly. The turtles are so versatile not just with music genres but they make old and new references ‘cause they’re well rounded kings 💪🏽 Between rizz, Adele, broski, Hey Arnold, K-Pop, Ferris Bueller, etc… I mean Donnie’s literally doing the sprinkler and the funky chicken in that gif up top 😂 they’re born in 2008 I doubt any kids today know about those dances anymore

Clearly I have all the thoughts and feelings about these boys and the movie, but I think this is probably my favorite TMNT movie? I’ve loved all of them but I think this one definitely brings me the most comfort fr
