Author’s notes: short lil drabble ish cause i don’t ever remember writing leo as a yandere, have i only ever done donnie???

Warnings: yandere tendencies, stalking, implied murder, intimidation, gaslighting, manipulation, unedited

Song: House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls by The Weeknd

—————————————————————————

Yandere!Leonardo who is tired of watching you. He’s itching to talk to you. To have your eyes finally recognize the shadow that follows after you. For that attention you give so freely to be his. No one else should matter, you’re his whole world. It’s only fair if he becomes yours in return.

Yandere!Leonardo who seamlessly enters your life like it wasn’t pre-meditated. Like he hadn’t planned every minute detail. He was meticulous when it came to you. Think of him as your knight in shining armor. Come to him with all your troubles.

Yandere!Leonardo who fixes all of those issues that you have. Your neighbors in the apartment aren’t as loud anymore, actually you haven’t heard them fighting for a couple nights now. They must’ve made up or maybe even broke up! Either way it didn’t matter to you, finally you could get a good nights rest.

Yandere!Leonardo who starts draping himself over you. You guys are friends now. Friends touch! It takes some getting used to, but don’t worry it’ll be second nature soon. Don’t think too much about it. His frame leaning into yours, his arms going over your shoulders. He’s tired, he stayed up too late again. Won’t you let him rest against you for a little while? He’ll even close his eyes.

Yandere!Leonardo who thought he had taken care of all your little love interests. But he portals over unannounced only to hear you gushing about this new guy, someone from your finance class. He creeps closer to your bedroom door, it’s cracked open, just a sliver. He peers through to see you bouncing around, jumping on your bed to kick your feet out happily.

Yandere!Leonardo whose eyes grow cold as the phone call hangs up. Words of encouragement were given to you. To finally go after a crush since the last couple had gone so horribly. He thinks this kind of puppy love isn’t good for you. Why can’t you just catch on already? Does he have to spell it out for you?

The door creaks open.

You lurch up, smile disappearing from your face.

So does your flush. You look ashen now.

Maybe it was because he had a sword out.

He’d never pointed one towards you.

Despite his weapon now facing you, he tilts his head and tries for a smile. It’s strained, his eyes looking at you with barely restrained mania. It’s been hard keeping his true self hidden from you. The side that wants to whisk you away and keep you from the rest of the world. No one else deserves you. Your happiness. Your smiles. Your attention, that was all his.

“You belong to me.”

more AU visdev shenanigans because I have both a problem and am trying to trick myself into doing visdev for my actual projects

my tmnt au (where everyone made it past their 20s, splinter’s alive just old, venus is here, and they deserve some goddamn respite and shenanigans)

tmnt au part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5

tmnt au omake 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

lny visit 1 | 2

AU musings under the cut cuz truly, i have a goddamn problem and most of it is from my brain always go brr

uhhh... hm... Mirage spoilers pmuch right out the gate... probably IDW, and prrrrobably Next Mutation spoilers for the kids who haven’t started/caught up because surprise that’s where I pull from (aside from the 87 cartoon and 90s movies because who doesn’t pull mainly from their childhood turtles)

April being into punk, goth, alt, what have you just makes sense to me

...because she gravitated to the outsider nature of those subcultures since she, herself, didn’t feel like she quite belonged anywhere

which is natural when you’re a drawing made real

(it’s fine, she’s flesh and blood now)

shout out to poly styrene, april loved her

keeping them short kings just like my childhood turtles

Jennika absolutely comments to Donnie if he’s found any good cheese in any walls lately

god i hate plowing through the first couple of passes of a design

alas, the process

Venus ended up being dressed in hanfu since other clothes didn’t fit her quite right; a specific group of old women were ecstatic at breaking out hanfu patterns to use.

Chung I doted on Venus so much, the only thing that kept her from becoming spoiled was when she started taking up cultivation alongside Chung I and his sect

nothing more humbling that carrying 3 buckets of water up a steep mountain side while your sifu hurls mystic blasts at your feet

Venus progressed pretty quickly though; enough to be trusted with plans to circumvent Vam Mi’s return and reconnoiter with the sect’s allies in NYC

(it didn’t work but it’s okay they defeated Vam Mi anyway)

shit now I have to come up with a name for the sect hhhhh

Chung I’s sect is one of ?? who, like the ninja, have a responsibility (among others) to regulate the mortal plane with the less mundane ones

Venus IS training to serve in his role (give or take one of her brothers or sisters being bestowed the responsibility)

hmm... Venus likes keemun tea best if she has the choice, and for soup... oxtail soup and black sesame soup

and because it was fkkn metal in Next Mutation, Venus is primarily a pugilist who occasionally uses her cultivation techniques ; she trains a little with a fan when she gets to weapons training but she prefers the spear (link has blood and some real violent fighting but fuck Fog Hill is fucking siiiiick)

...a nickname Venus gains is ‘the spear fairy’ ‘cuz i’m indulgent :)

the supernatural side of NY was already getting antsy and unruly when Venus arrived so of course she and the boys ended up fighting upon first encounter

The fight happens after hours at a local walk-around market; Raph barges in and Venus fishes around for something that isn’t the requisite staff she was saddled with before setting out (because she knows how to deal some damage with it and she wasn’t about to do that to complete strangers she didn’t know the alignment of)

she ends up using a mannequin; one arm came off so Venus attacked with that and defended with the upper part of the mannequin; Raph was getting outmatched while Mikey and Donnie were laughing in increasing volume

at a certain point Leo tried to intervene but Venus assumed it was a double team, ripped the other arm off the mannequin and defended with both against Raph and Leo; eventually her hood was flipped and they saw she was a turtle so cue Venus using the opportunity to get them both on the ground and about to smash the now armless mannequin torso onto Leo and Raph before Donnie called for a truce

at which point, as is established, Mikey quipped up at the scene, “I call this... ‘Venus de Milo, triumph over dorkus maximuses’”

Leo DID try to address her by her actual name but his not-quite-right tone made her pity him and insisted he just use Mikey’s new nickname

Venus absolutely asked why the boys were running around half naked when she came across them; they didn’t have an answer they just shrugged and let Mikey change the subject with asking if she’s tried NY pizza yet

Venus is ambivalent in the end, she knew humans wore clothes since their bits are just ...like, out there dangling around; the yaoguai around her also dressed and thought they were just adhering to the custom out of simple consideration

Venus eventually gears up like the boys to help hide her mission from the sect trying to resurrect Vam Mi

Leo gives Venus a spare mask of his; it came from a bin of incorrectly dyed masks when he was attempting shibori dye experiments

Mikey was so enthusiastic about it, having only known April at the time he asked if he could try out braiding her mask tails since Leo didn’t bother tailoring it after he botched the dye job

Splinter helps Venus make contact with her sect’s allies ala Rescuers Down Under

NM!Venus canonically knows how to pick locks why not in this AU too

The boys take Venus to the library one night, Donnie pleads for Venus to break into the reference shelves, stoops to fibbing a little that information she might find handy could be in those shelves (they weren’t)

A hilarious exchange happens between April and Venus when Venus cycles through like 3 dialects and 2 languages before finding out April speaks Canto; Venus starts calling April Ah ze, in kind April calls Venus Ah mui

hmm hmmm... still torn between April meeting the boys once as little kids then running into them again when she’s an adult or having her meet them as little kids but connecting a little earlier, 1-2 years from graduating HS

mostly just cuz I wanna have this AU April taking them to GWAR concerts so they can enjoy being out without getting clocked

Casey and Raph absolutely dressed as the Bash Brothers for a couple of halloweens

I like the idea of Casey thinking of himself as the fifth turtle brother because it’s sweet, thassit AU canon it is done

I feel like Jennika probably ran into April and Casey at separate music venues; befriended Casey first tho

Jennika spent two years in China with Venus, getting her handle on her new turtle body; when she came back she nearly cleaned out 3 thrift stores and basically commandeered a portion of Donnie’s lab for almost a year to tailor clothes for herself

Donnie basically made himself a mini-clothing manufacturing factory by salvaging and rebuilding embroidery, pattern cutting, and industrial sewing machines

Jennika and Mondo have jam sessions

The brockhampton parody in this AU is northbrockton, Jennika and Mondo are rotational members

Mondo can speak hawaiian pidgin, he speak liddat when he go an talk story with Mikey ova some grinds, Mikey also starts picking it up

Mondo sometimes refers to Mikey as Braddah Honu

One of the stolen waste/mutagen barrels from That Night rolled and got shunted conveniently to a desolate lot where it leaked for years

Mondo came across it looking for a place for his band to jam without getting interrupted, pop goes the lizard mutation

tl;dr a video of urban explorers stumbling on it got onto Mona’s feed (and I’m smudging her original start as a physicist to a biophysicist) and since she’s a can do sort of girl she goes to check it out herself before reporting it to the proper organizations-- bam, mutant lizard Mona Lisa rip

that same video came across on one of Donnie’s feeds, Raph’n Mikey go to investigate and come upon a distraught lizard Mona Lisa; Mikey uses her assumption they were also originally human to bring her back to the lair and get her calmed down

god it’s so messy, thankfully Splinter, Leo and April are far better at helping Mona come to grips with her mutation, Donnie helps out in setting her up to survive the first couple months of transitioning between her old human life to navigating her mutant one

For me, she’s now Mona Lisa Saperfeld purely for this exact reference link

Raph and Casey also get the occasional treats from the local bodegas, but for running off extortionists and other assorted dipshits with too much time an not enough supervision

Jennika, Mondo, and Mikey are constantly replacing each others’ high scores in Guitar Hero and DDR in Donnie’s arcade

When Donnie, Casey, and Raph are left in the garage for too long... they end up making the weirdest shit (link to a Handy Geng playlist, a dude who makes funky inventions)

#i was using my little AU visdev to get myself going #to do it for my own projects #but oh #how quickly i ended up doing it to relax #because motherfuckers keep trying to start shit with people I know #hhhhh #which i have to reiterate #why be rude #when you can just shut the fuck up #or do it off anon so I can fucking block you too

This might've been said before, but I just gotta say:

I love the vibe Tmnt 2012 is giving off.

Especially when it comes to the lair and Donnies inventions/gadgets. Everything looks makeshift, but it has its own beautiful charme. Since they cannot show their faces to the city of New York, they have to grab old thrown-out devices and use trash and old spare material to make furniture and gadgets and it's just so realistic, while looking amazing all the same. Like, what do you expect from them, in such a situation?

The lair is easily one of my favorite fictional headquarters ever. Like yes, it's an abandoned subway station, but it still looks homey in my opinion. Not gonna lie, I would instantly feel at home if I visited. The family tried to make it cozy to the best of their abilities and I think they truly succeeded.

Whatever that kitchen table was in its former life, it now serves its purpose as a table and it looks amazing as it does so.

And the bedrooms?? I love them so much?? So makeshift, so beautiful. And don't get me started on Donnies lab, because I am obsessed with the way it looks. Like yeah, maybe the lair is lacking some color, but what do you expect from a family with limited abilities in interior design? It's truly realistic looking in the coolest way and I cannot stop talking about it.

Although I probably should.

Also Donnies inventions. The Shellraiser has to be my favorite fictional vehicle ever.

The cool graffiti on the outer shell?? Its ability to drive on train tracks and the street?? THE DAMN TRASH CANNON?? THE MANHOLE COVER CANNON???? They literally grabbed trash, compressed it and used it as a weapon. Donnie came up with this. Donnie drew blueprints for this thing and then built it. This man can build functioning vehicles and devices from trash.

The most impressive thing? He taught all of this himself. All of his knowledge probably comes from books and experience and later on certainly also from the internet. He's too powerful and he deserves credit for this.

Sorry, I just wanted to ramble about the 2012 gadgets and lair for a bit. I love the makeshift-ness of it all. I love how you can truly see, that the furniture is old and used. It gives the show the true Tmnt charme. It's the type of lair you'd expect some mutant turtles and their rat father to live in.

I'm not the best at explaining things, so I hope you get the point, lmao.

#tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #teenage mutant ninja turtles 2012 #tmnt 2012 #tmnt rambles #tmnt ramblings #tmnt 2k12 #tmnt 2012 rambling #Everything about this show is just so YEAH #I could talk about the inventions forever #Loving Metalhead so much too #the stealth bike and the patrol buggy? hell yeah #THE T-PHONES GUYS #Donnies laptop??? it's so rad???

I genuinely believe that April in 2012 could have been an amazing character and her and Donnie could have been so cute together if she wasn’t written so poorly. In saying that….

I want Raph to get angry at her. I really want there to be a moment where April has just led Donnie on yet again, giving him another cheek kiss then just a day later telling him to leave her alone and going out on a totally not-a date with Casey. Raph is the only one who sees the tear brimming in his little brothers eyes and he’s had enough, no one hurts his brothers, especially not like that.

April has just left the lair and Raph follows her, waiting until she turns around to ask whose there to bring his Sai up to her throat while shoving her against the wall.

She protest, a brief look of fear in her eyes before she clearly gets annoyed, “Raph, what the hell are yo-“

“shut it. You’re going to listen to be because you only get one chance and I ain’t repeating myself. My brother is an idiot, he’s a mad genius but he’s still a person and he loves you. I don’t give a shit if you don’t love him back, you don’t have to, but if you play him one more time for whatever pathetic reason you have, wether it’s you want attention or your just a soulless freak, I will kill you. It won’t be quick, it won’t be painless, and they’ll never find you to give your dad solace. My brother deserve better than anything you could give him, so either accept him as he is, mutant and nerd and all, or back the fuck off. Got it?”

April is shaking by that point, a small cut already appearing on the front of her neck as well as a smaller one on the side where the smaller prong of his weapon digs in. She looks close to crying but she’s still a brave person and keeps it.

She nods rapidly.

Raph leaves, letting her slump to the floor while gasping for breath and he doesn’t look back. They ask what happened to her neck the next day and she says nothing, though Mikey notices her being tense around Raph who looks eerily calm.

Mikey says nothing about it.

siblings!!

summary: When Mutation Day rolls around, you take it upon yourself as the youngest turtle sibling to get all your brothers the perfect gifts tailored to each and every one of them!

relationship: Platonic Turtles x F!Turtle Reader

warnings: platonic, fluff, humor, headcanons

author's note: for @/snipersiniora!! 💕

As the lesser known and youngest teenage mutant ninja turtle, there wasn't much expected of you. It annoyed you to no end. Not that your family looked down on you necessarily, they just didn’t think you were very…skilled.

“Just let us handle it!” Raph would say.

“Don’t sweat so much about tonight’s mission.” Leo smirked, ruffling the top of your head.

Mikey and Donnie were a little less condescending than the others, but they still treated you like the littlest. Which you were, but it was still infuriating. It didn’t really help that you were a bit of an outlier among your family as the lone female turtle.

You sigh, spinning around your tactical umbrella.

“Maybe it’s my weapon? I do kinda look like Mary Poppins with this thing.” You frown.

It was a relatively normal-looking umbrella, but there was a hidden sword sheathed into the handle. It was always fun seeing the look on your enemy’s faces when you revealed just how secretly deadly it was. They immediately underestimated you, making unconscious assumptions.

Shaking your head, you focus up. You didn’t have time to mope around thinking about yourself, not when you had birthday gifts to find! Well, Mutation Day gifts. You had everything all planned out, taking the time to come up with the perfect gift ideas for all your pesky older brothers. They really didn’t deserve such excellent treatment, but you were the bigger turtle.

You honestly loved giving people gifts. It made you happy seeing other people happy. Maybe you were secretly a little selfish, getting some sick kick out of going above and beyond with your gift-giving. Maybe now was your chance to one-up your siblings, at least in a small, friendly way.

“Let’s do this!” You drop off of the rooftop you were perched on, dropping down to the city below.

mikey:

You knew Mikey was still a big fan of Meat Sweats

For some reason...

You never really got him, even though you and Mikey were kind of the un-official 'younger twins'

To the uninformed observer, you two looked and acted practically exactly the same

You were both pretty upbeat, caring, and prone to wild acts of gymnastics

But you had a bit more of a stubborn personality

Not stubborn, just determined!

It was your determination that was going to get you Mikey's gift

After some cursory online research, you were able to find Rupert Swaggart's cookbook/autobiography

That probably would have been a good enough gift, but you wanted to go a step further

It takes a bit of cajoling (maybe a little physical violence) but you manage to hunt down Meat Sweats and get him to sign your copy of his book

leo:

Gift giving for Leo was pretty straightforward

As long as it had something to do with him, it'd be perfect

He never shut up about the fact that he was a Battle Nexus Champion, so you figure something to do with that would be the way to go

...Now, all you had to do was think of what that would be exactly

An award perhaps? Maybe an old bowling trophy with his name plastered on the front

Good, but you could do better

Strolling through the Hidden City, you searched around for some kind of inspiration

There were dozens of vendors and booths selling trinkets, it was practically a treasure trove of gift ideas

It was when you pass by an alley when you see it...

Among the sea of torn-up flyers and advertisements, you spot a poster with Leo's likeness

Running toward it, you get a better look

It's some kind of fan-made screen print! It showed Leo standing confidently in the middle of a battlefield, Lou Jitsu costume and all

It actually made him look good, like a real badass

You couldn't pass up such a beautiful piece of art

Ripping it off the wall, you accidentally tear the left corner a bit

"Whoops..." You sweat, rubbing at the thin paper

Oh well, it would just have to do

donnie:

Donatello had many 'eccentric' hobbies

One of which was chemistry (AKA building weapons of mass destruction)

You knew Donnie was itching to get his grubby little hands on some Uranium, but you wrote that gift idea off immediately

"Where do you even buy something like that? The army surplus store? The black market?"

You decide to consult your sort-of-dad Baron Draxum, he had all kinds of crazy connections

Begrudgingly, he admits that he might...have access to Uranium

"I only have a little bit. It's well within my rights." He insists

After a while, you convince him to 'let you borrow' some

You wrap it up in a cute gift box with a nice ribbon

No one would suspect that there's dangerous chemicals in it! It looked so cute and unassuming!

You sneak into Donnie's lab while he's out on a mission and place it on his desk next to his computer set-up

You knew someone (probably Raph) would confiscate it from him at some point, but it was the thought that counts

raph:

Thankfully, you already had the perfect thing to give to Raph

It was a couple of weeks ago...

You frequented a local antique store, it was fun looking at all the weird human artifacts and knick knacks

One day, you just so happen to come across a Ghost Bear plush!

And it was HUGE! Almost as big as your head!

It must have been some old merch from when he was still human by the looks of it

Looking at the price tag, you cringe

"Ooohhh, that's...that's a pretty penny."

Silently, you debate with yourself

You knew Raph loved Ghost Bear, and plushes...

You would just have to ask Splinter for a little extra allowance next month

Cleaning out your wallet, you buy it

"That guy owes me big time." You smirk

Finally, you get all your gifts (minus Donnie's) together and present them on Mutation Day. To no one's surprise, your gifts are all happily accepted.

Mikey sniffled, bringing you into a tight hug. "I have Meat Sweats' autograph! He actually touched this book, with his own two hooves!"

Leo was rendered speechless, unrolling the Battle Nexus Poster. You chuckle, taking his silence as your proof that you gave him exactly what he was looking for.

"Don't worry, I already gave you your gift," you whisper, winking at Donnie.

You give each other secretive nods, but not before Raph makes a mental note to check up on Donnie later. You two were always up to no good.

He almost gets lost in his own thoughts before you nudge Raph his present.

"Here! I saw this and knew you just had to have it."

"Aww, you didn't have to--" He smiles, tearing open the wrapping.

Once he sees the plush face of Ghost Bear looking back at him, Raph immediately gets choked up. His eyes widen and start to water, bringing the plush up to eye-level.

"How did you find this? I thought they were all discontinued!"

Laughing, you do a little spin on your toes. "I knew it, I knew you'd love it! I found it at the pawn shop up top.

Before Raph can get too emotional, he collects himself and calls the rest of the turtles over.

"These are all amazing, and all we got you was..."

You peek over his shoulder as he motions over to the center of the lair. Sitting next to the skate ramp and workout equipment was some kind of long bench. When did that get there?

Walking over, you get a better look. It was, from what you can tell, an old gymnastics bar used for balancing.

You run your fingers along the side and marvel at it. "Is this for me?"

"Well, duh!" Leo smiles. "We tried finding one of those asymmetrical bar things for you to flip off of and stuff, but we sorta--"

"Donnie broke it moving it down here." Mikey cut in, eyeing Donnie up and down.

Sighing, Donnie shoves Mikey aside. "I told you to pivot, and you didn't pivot!"

Shushing his other brothers, Raph steps forward. "The point it is: We know we can be kinda a handful, and you don't always get the same treatment. But, we wanted to do something nice for you."

You beam, watching them come in to squeeze you into a big group hug. You agree, they could be a lot sometimes. But, they were your family. And you wouldn't trade them for anything.

"You guys are the best!"

Do not despair rottmnt fandom! We still have a ninja’s greatest weapon—hope! If we keep hoping, Donnie just might win! But why should you vote for Donnie, you ask? Well…

Donnie is canonically autistic and has so much swag it’s unreal.

Donnie has helped educate people on autism and neurodivergence in general. He may or may not have been the driving force for my realization that I might be autistic. Donnie seriously changed my life with that piece of information.

Donnie is very realistic autistic representation. He’s just an autistic character who’s allowed to exist and exhibit autistic traits without being scrutinized for it. I love when he stims!

Donnie presents many autistic traits such as low empathy, monotone voice, sensory issues, difficulty with emotions and feelings, special interests and stimming!

In conclusion, please vote for the autistic turtle! Maybe it’s because I’ve been fixated on rottmnt and autism for the past seven months but I genuinely believe that he deserves to win. I hope that you can give Donnie the support he needs to win this competition with his clear superior autism swag! 💜💜💜

@autismswagsummit @autismswagreblogs

(I am way too invested in this competition, someone help. Even if Donnie doesn’t win, he’ll always be a winner in my heart!)

🐢💜

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES MUTANT MAYHEM COME LOOK

(note does this count as spoliers to the movie??? maybe but just in case SPOILERS!!!)

(didnt you hear me SPOILERS GUYS!!!)

your still here? good then you know!

OH MY GOD EVERYONE LOOK AT ME I JUST WATCHED MUTANT MAYHEM YK THE MOVIE AND WOW I LIKED IT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY...MIKEY OR DONNIE IS MY FAVORITE AND AHHH I LOVED THE ART I WAS SCREAMING WHEN MIKEY SAID COWABUNGA

Anyway, on further notice, the April x Leo...we will see how I feel about it. I felt a little stingy after seeing 2012 Donnie and April; it practically was the same scene. but nevertheless, I will be willing to give this a shot! My guy leo deserves love and he is a teenager! So of course he would fall for someone. Of course.

But CMON LOOK ITS PRACTICALLY THE SAME SCENE

TELL ME YOU SEE IT IM NOT CRAZY I PROMISE IM NOT

i cannot STRESS IT ENOUGH THEY ALMOST SAY THE SAME THING but that will be another post where i show the similarites in the scenes. Now Im not here to say things that are mean to enjoyers of apriltello! You guys like your things, and I like mine!

Anyways, all in all, I really like it, and I also like the concept of a new-found family. It looks like Splinter actually gets to have a love life that will seemingly (from the looks of it) last.

unlike well these two

Also how, when the post credits play, we see the SHREDDER and that HE will be involved in maybe a new movie! But most likely, the cartoon SHOWS THAT THEY ANNOUNCED. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? AHHH, I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED!

Ahem. Moving on, at first I was kind of shocked at how squeaky (no offense) Donnies voice was, but it kinda grew on me after the end of the movie. i mean cmon, JUST LOOK AT HIM.

Of course his voice grew on me. Anyways I really liked the art style. First of all, it was so creative, especially how colorful it was! I mean, did you see Superfly at the arcade when he was with turtles? LOOK AT THAT EXPLOSION OF COLORS

Also the SONGS???? ABSOLUTELY ALL FUCKING BANGERS I KNEW ALL OF THEM (the ones with lyrics yk) I NEED MORE CONTENT OMFGGG AHHH AND ALSO they ACT like teenagers (no hate to Rise they did it great as well or any other version of tmnt its just it kinda felt a little more for adluts at times or mature but thats just me dont attack me ) BUT LIKE THEY EMBRACED WHAT GEN Z IS AND ALSO THEY ACT LIKE JUST SOME FUCKING GUYS IN NEW YORK (I only confirmed that information with my cousin who lives in New York I'm taking her word for but of course take everything i say with a grain of salt.)

Personally, I'm still down with my girl APRIL ONEIL! I liked their April! I personally still LOVE Rise April more then mutant mayhems but thats juust me being biased of course! But I love how they continued with the "April is like their sister" thing and am glad they made Splinter more of a father-like rise which I EAT UP they did great!

Also while I watched the beginning I noticed how early they brought Baxter stockman up. I was confused at first but later understood but that my dear readers begs the question

Is he still alive?

Well, the movie kind of makes it look like he IS dead, but in the scene where they had him, they just took him in with them, so does that mean he is still alive? Will he come back to his mutant family?? How will he react to Superfly, his first kid, being presumably dead?

questions and more questions or should I say curiouser and curiouser? (I'm sorry.)

Also, did any of you notice while they played the credits that THEY DREW MASTER SPLINTER FROM THE ROTTMNT?? I can't get the image now, but as soon as I do, I WILL SHOW YOU GUYS

I also love the references to the old turtles in the credits and, I think, some of the movie scenes.

loved that ( a nice call back)

And they also gave back Raph's sai's! Maybe they didn't want to upset the ahem uptight fans that are afraid of change, to completely tear down their movie (yes, I'm targeting you). (I saw what you did to rise. It was just a new weapon IT WASNT THAT FUCKING SERIOUS) But of course, if that was just their preference and choice, then that's cool too!

Anyway, that's enough from me. This post is going to get way too long if I keep going, i might overload your brains haha!

so I will save you all the trouble and shorten this up and conclude my rant/friendly check in with all of you

Final thoughts:

All in all, it was a fantastic film that I enjoyed watching. It was SO worth the year I had to wait for. (Don't ask me to elaborate, please.) Should you watch it if you want to get introduced to TMNT? YES! Should you watch it if you are already a fan of TMNT, who is a nice person who isn't afraid of change??? Yes, you should!

I promise, you will love it! or at least, like it somewhat, no pressure!

TMNT Bayverse Boys x Reader: Hands on their weapons (1\4)

Fluff SFW

I figured I would eventually come around to trying these myself. Been thinking about these for a few days and even sketched some out so maybe I'll post the finished products if I can just GET THE PERSPECTIVE RIGHT.

Prompt: What would each of the brothers do if you picked up their weapons out of curiosity?

I guess this ended up so long that each of the boys deserve their own post 😅

Raph

You approach Raph at the ragged sofa and coffee table where he appears to be cleaning his sais. You take a seat beside him. He has one sai in his hands, cleaning off any smudges with a cloth.

"It sounds silly but it never occurred to me that you'd have to clean them," you say.

He gives an amused huff. "Yeah its actually really important. Splinter says that they are a part of us and we need to take care of them like we would ourselves." You giggle at this comment and Raph purses his lips and looks away because you both know that his brothers aren't known for being cautious and he's the biggest offender of reckless behavior.

He set the sai down on the little coffee table next to the other. You could now see the difference between the one he finished and the one he hadn't started yet. The handle was wrapped in fresh leather strips, the other torn and barely hanging on. The prongs were shiny and clean, the other gray and covered in...dirt? blood? It was hard to tell.

As Raph picked up the dirty one you reached out to grab the clean one.

"Careful cutie, don't stab yerself," he said giving you a gentle side glance. He didn't show it much but he was glad when you would just sit next to him when he was feeling mellow. It made it easy for him to appreciate you.

You held it in your hands and found it was surprisingly heavy for a relatively small weapon. Though smaller than Leo's blade and Donnie staff it was still large in your hands. The handle was long enough to hold with both hands and the center prong must have been at least a foot long. Even clean you could see that the prongs had small indents in them presumably from when he blocks blades or pipes or whatever people swing at him.

You went to wrap your fingers between the prongs the way you've seen him hold it before but it was large and unwieldy that way and when you went to lift it to test its weight balance it slipped from your fingers and flipped towards your feet.

Raph had been keeping an eye on you and as he saw you lose grip he lurched over to catch it before it impaled your limbs somehow. "Waow there, ya gotta be careful. Ya might look good in piercings but try not to get any on accident."

You apologize quickly, your face flushing with embarrassment.

He chuckles and sets them down on the table, "C'mere," he says in a deep but gentle tone, grabbing your wrist and pulling you into his lap. His warm chest behind you, his breath on your ears, his large thighs hugging your hips. You feel so small but ever since the incident, he's always very gentle when handling you.

He reaches forward and takes the clean sai and places the hilt in your hand, wrapping his fingers closed around your fist. "These are larger than humans would use. Splinter crafted it for me."

You wondered how the rat managed to forge anything in the sewers but didn't doubt that he probably had some creative means. You didn't bother to ask, you didn't want to interrupt him. You liked the way his voice rumbled and you could feel the vibrations from it through his chest as you leaned against it.

"Traditionally you aren't supposed to hold them like this," he shifted the sai and with his fingers still cupped around yours he gently held the it with a finger between the prongs the way you had tried a moment ago,"their weight is in the hilt this way and unless you got a strong grip it'll fall right out of yer fingers."

Your face is still blushing but not out of embarrassment anymore. Raph is being so gentle and sharing something that he seems to genuinely care about sharing with you. You knew the boys treasured their weapons but you hadn't realized that it was this meaningful to them.

"Their supposed to be held so that ye can flip 'em around real easy for lots of defensive techniques," he continued releasing your hand from his warm palm to show you how he transitions the sai into different grips. He makes it look so light, his fingers are surprisingly fluid and you gaze at his hands as the blade seems to swim in the air around his palm.

Noticing your awe he smirks and starts doing more stylish transitions flipping the sai around the back of his hand and twirling it between his fingers along the center prong. He's got you entranced.

After a bit more he tosses it up and let's it land point down in the wooden table. You jump a bit when it makes impact having been mesmerized by his dexterous digits. He chuckles again and sets his chin on your head and begins to clean the other.

You sit in silence enjoying each other's company. It was nice not feeling the need to talk.

You didn't get to enjoy the silence for too long when Mikey zipped in on his skateboard with fresh pizza singing, "🎶when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie THAT'S AMORE🎶"

You giggle and take a deep breath. Raph breaths in as well, both of you saying goodbye to the silence with a content sigh. You stand to join the others for dinner and wonder if they will notice your still flush cheeks.

Before you read I want you to guess who gets to hit Splinter with their car.

Go on.

Guess.

——

Splinter was angry.

The boys all held onto each other, forming a chain as they followed their father. Leo was leading, of course, and his held held tight onto Raph’s as they made their way through the sewers.

Splinter was very angry.

Leo had been the first awake that morning. He quickly washed his face and came out to the kitchen to get the breakfast packs Raph had made the night before. They’d been preparing for this trek. They knew the risks.

He’d gone to Mikey first, knowing it would take him the longest to properly wake up. He helped him out of bed and shoved the breakfast salad in his hands, making sure he was actually eating before hurrying to continue his rounds.

Raph was just pulling himself out of bed when Leo came in. They shared a look, a mutual agreement, and Leo handed him his food.

Raph went to wake Donnie.

They all ate quickly.

They gathered up their travel packs and their weapons.

Mikey ran them all through breathing exercises, helping center them to make the transition as easy as possible.

Now they were walking.

Splinter was pissed.

They didn’t know the specifics of how this arrangement came to be, but clearly their father wasn’t happy about it.

A few months back Draxum had spent the night. During that stay, he’d suggested the boys all come to visit his home in the Hidden City. Splinter had been vehemently against it at first.

Then, in the morning, Draxum had kissed them all on the head and announced loudly that he would see them on a specific date for a day of “bonding!”

Splinter was furious.

They didn’t know why Splinter didn’t just outright refuse, but they knew better than to question him when he was clearly so irritated. His tail flicked back and forth aggressively as they marched through the sewers.

They arrived at a dead end and Splinter told them to look away.

When he finally allowed them to look back the brick wall had turned to a mystical doorway into the Hidden City. He hissed for them to follow and they did, stepping into the yokai world.

They were at a bus stop. Leo lead them to the bench, all of them sitting to wait patiently for whatever would happen next.

“I don’t like bringing you boys here.” Splinter told them, “It’s just as bad as New York. You will not leave Draxum’s home and you will not wander, understood?”

“Yes, Sir.” They all chimed.

“Where is that damned goat?” Splinter scowled, looking out to the road, stepping off the curb to get a better look, “If he is not here in-“

THUMP.

“Father!”

“Hey boys!”

The turtles all stared in stunned silence as Splinter scratched the hood of Draxum’s car, groaning in pain from the force of the vehicle slamming forcibly into him. Draxum looked out the window, frowning.

“What the hell are you doing standing in the street!?”

Splinter’s head popped up, rage in his eyes.

“Well.” Raph groaned, “There goes our chances of ever doing this again.”

——

Could this at all be canon in your story? IDFK. But it was a blast to write.

-Monster Anon

fsadjfsdf lmao it COULD be except i think draxum travels by portals and vines, so he wouldn't have a car. and also wouldn't kiss the boys on the head. maybe give them a firm pat. you did pretty well tho considering I have yet to even draw the boys interacting with draxum :')

ANYWAY my first guesses were either Mikey or Abe… i just thought that Mikey deserves it and if it was Abe that'd be surprising. abuser on abuser violence lmao. but once u mentioned draxum i was like,, draxum is hitting him FOR SURE

i've got a headcanon for your fanfiction tho! headcanon is this: Draxum convinced splinter with gay sex fajsidfmlsdkfagds

Soooooooooo I saw this tweet

and.......it has consumed me! I already know what y’all are going to say! I know I have a lot on my plate, ok 😭😭! I’m just being hit by ideas and prompts left and right! Sometimes I’m just compelled to write them!

Anyway, here’s the opening of what I’m working on.

some TW: Body mutilation (missing limbs), injury, violence, cursing, war

Then

Once Donnie took control of the Technodrome, it was frustratingly easy to take them down. Leo doesn’t remember much of the initial assault. He was too focused on cutting down the Kraang Generals in front of him. They’re old, Leo can tell by the faded yellow of their eyes and the thickness of their leathery skin, but they’re the only generation left now. The Kraang had closed ranks once the resistance shut down their birthing centers. A Kraang hadn’t been produced on Earth soil in four years, and they’re numbers continued to dwindle with each successful attack on overtaken cities around the world. Now, after so much death, they’re able to launch an attack on Kraangs last strong hold.

New York. What a fucking town.

The battle passes in flashes. Gold chains tearing through machines and alien flesh. Red covering the sky as Raph roars through Kraangified humans and animals alike. The green of April’s magic crushing most of the battlefield and finally, the fiery red fall of the Technodrome. A purple beam of metal cuts the falling wiggling ship in half, creating an open for them, and ending any hope of the machine getting off the ground. Leo finds himself in the dilapidated throne room with his family at his back and retribution in his heart.

What stands before them is an abomination and their last obstacle to freedom. The Kraang, only known as Prime through intercepted communications, raises a single red eye in their direction.

“Alright boys,” April says. She swings the giant hammer until it sits heavily across her shoulders, glowing a dangerous green. She abandoned the bat three years ago, left it buried at the base of Sunita’s grave and enchanted a new weapon from her own rage. “Let’s finish this.”

The monstrosity kicks rubble out of its way, its face pulls into a dangerous scowl. “Insolent worms!” That fight destroys what little remains of the Technodrome. They knew Prime would be strong. It never appeared in many battlefields, but when it did decide to leave its castle, there was never anything left. But now, Leo thinks. He plants a foot into the flesh of the alien and stares down into hateful eyes.

“You think you’ve won?” it coughs. “No one defeats Kraang. NO ONE!”

Leo doesn’t respond, doesn’t give it anything. This monster doesn’t deserve his words. Leo adjusts his good hand and brings the sword down with so much force that he screams. The blade sinks deep into the mangled heart of the beast, but Leo keeps pushing. He pushes until his hand meets the unmoving skin of Kraang Prime and then twists for good measure. Leo yanks the weapon free of the corpse. He falls back with a gasp. He stares at the twisted organ these things call hearts. Stares as it slips free of his weapon and then he’s crying. They did it. They did it. They did it.

“Casey,” Donnie says. “It-Its done.”

There’s an echo of gunfire before her voice breaks over the com with a sob. “About fucking time,” she cries. There’s an evil screech, the revving of an engine, and then a sickening squelch sings loudly over the com. “Sister is dead,” she pants. “They all are.”

A roar builds outside the fallen ship and Leo grins at his family. They didn’t come out of this battle unscathed. April wraps a bandage tightly over a shaky limb. Her hand lost to a powerful stomp before Donnie could get to her. Raph’s right eye taken in a single swipe and the only thing stanching the blood of Donnie’s missing leg is a mystic construction that struggles to stay solid, but they made it. They won and they’re alive.

A shoulder leans against his and Leo looks down into the face of his little brother. He’s bleeding and leaking mystic power everywhere, but he’s grinning. Leo adjusts his mangled right arm with a grunt but he’s grinning too. “I don’t know about you,” he says, and for the first time in a long time, a joke comes naturally. “But I could use a nap.”

April snorts, but her face is just as bright as everyone else. She tightens the tourniquet and stumbles to her feet. “Let get medical before I lose more than just this hand.”

They fumble to their feet and it reminds him so much of old times that it hurts. They lean on each other, Raph even pulls Donnie on his back, the big softy. Donnie doesn’t complain, instead he laughs, and they all laugh with him. They did it. They spill out of the wreckage to a wave of cheers and hands bathed in blue medical gear, and Leo finally sees a future on the horizon.

GitS Asks!

Not as much as he does the boys. April's pretty good about having her own fun, she's got a family to go back to, she can separate herself when she needs to. She can handle herself!

Noted 👀 Though I don't read fanfic very often because I'm. Usually too busy writing it. fhgdkjgf I'm already behind on stuff I want to read. I will put it on my List.

Leo's least favorite is math, he finds it boring as all hell. Raph's least favorite is chemistry. He cannot get any of it right for the life of him. He accidentally made mustard gas once and from then on Donnie was paired with him to make sure that didn't happen again. Mikey's is history! He has a hard time just sitting still and listening. Donnie's least favorite is the mystic arts. He thinks it's unnecessary for him, because he doesn't have a mystic weapon.

Ghost just tells them he's going to teach them something today and they pretty much all show up. If they miss a day, he doesn't scold them about it or anything, he just lets them miss it. If they don't understand something because of it later, he can just teach it to them again. Normally they don't miss more than a day at a time, and if they do there's usually something else going on. Ghost is homeschooling them, and it's not like they're going to college. The point is learning, not to make them suffer when they don't feel like it. ;)

Splinter was giving the boys an education! He taught them colors, and alphabets, and how to read, how to clean, how to take care of themselves. Splinter taught them a lot, and Ghost knows that. He's not mad for Splinter focusing on the more practical things and less on the academic side.

Oh yeah he's gonna flip y'all.

"Who?"

Spoilers! Though I am now thinking of that 03 episode during fast forward where they go to the gala and Donnie is wearing a purple suit. Thank you.

Ghost is still kinda active with the homeless community. He doesn't talk to them, or really show himself at all, but he drops off blankets and clothes he finds when scavenging.

Ghost doesn't know about Don stealing from ATMs at the moment! He won't mind it, though. He's not hurting anyone but big banks by doing it.

Oh you think Ghost's self-blame and self-hatred is bad now? NOTHING compared to what it would be if he'd fallen into Rise after experiencing SAINW. He knows what's going to happen to his brothers. He knows he disappeared, and that the world ended because of it. He'd work a lot harder. I don't think he'd pay any attention to the kids, honestly, I think he'd be neck-deep in making a portal, trying everything, retrying it.

Ghost has accepted that he's stuck in his dimension. Donatello would not.

The TECH! It's so much easier to get high-grade metal and supplies in Rise! He can get SO MUCH SHIT! No wonder Donnie can build things so nicely, people dump out nice stuff!

Welcome to ow, I'll be your host-

Spppoiiilerrsssss? I think? Probably???

It does! There was a poll quite a ways back that even asked if Ghost ends up with Leo or with the other boys. He's in Tahiti. ;)

Phantom is far less scarred than Ell. He still has the leather jacket because I feel like he deserves a leather jacket. Ghost doesn't have the scar over his eye because of Phantom. When Ghost disappeared to the Battle Nexus to try and find answers, Phantom immediately started looking for him. Ghost had only meant to go for a day, but was trapped by Big Mama and forced to fight. Phantom found him and pulled him out of there before he ever got the scar.

Some things are universal constants :)

Whether they survive it or not is different.

Oh 03 Donatello is completely destroyed. He blames himself entirely. He works all the time to get his lost brother back. Ell and Spirit don't blame Donny, but Mike does a bit. It's easier to be mad at someone than the universe.

w... what about it....

Bold of you to assume that Ghost isn't going to break that curse

Rise boys are starting to realize their mentor isn't invincible and immortal. Terrifying thing to learn.

Thank you!! Glad you like it!

2012 Leo deserves to go a little apeshit

As a treat

So you remember a couple of months ago when I mentioned how 2012 Leo in the Krang Apocalypse future creates a reverse version of the Healing Hands that instead of the user using their own energy to heal it instead takes away the energy of others and give it to the user while also corrupting the user's soul?

You remember how 2012 Leo ends up in the 1987 dimension?

That deadly power was born from pure grief and pure RAGE when all three of his brothers died on the same day.

Something similar is going to happen

2012 Leo searches everywhere for his brothers, as 2012 Raph, Donnie and Rise Donnie all jumped into the portal to the prison dimension to try and save Rise Leon before they got separated in a massive flash of light and a loud explosion.

So when 2012 Leo ends up in the 1987 dimension ALONE without his brothers after everything that happened in the Riseverse...he's gonna assume that they're dead. (He doesnt have any evidence of this aside from Rise Leo's cracked katana that fell through with him, but he doesnt have any evidence proving that theu arent dead either. Logically they probably ended up in different dimensions as well but 2012 Leo is far too stressed to be thinking logically right now)

And then he sees the 1987 Technodrome in the distance and. He. LOSES. IT.

The only thought on his mind is "Dont let my brothers die in vain. Avenge them!"

He breaks into the technodrome and as soon as he locks eyes with 1987 Shredder and 1987 Krang.

God help them.

He goes absolutely feral, trying to rip and tear them and the entire Technodrome apart.

Shredder and Krang are completely outmatched and it only gets worse when 2012 Leo grabs Shredder by the throat, the rage barely contained.

And thats when it happens.

The rage reaches a peak, burning like fire under his skin. A deep hatred for the man squirming under his grip triples in size.

The fire needs fuel.

2012 Leo screams out his hatred for this man, an alternate version of monster that murdered his father a year ago, allied with an alternate version of the monster that killed his younger brothers. He feels nothing for Shredder but pure hate. Pure fury.

Pure rage.

While howling winds swirl around the pair, seemingly also screaming inside the Tehnodrome, something shoots up his veins.

Burning hot yet icy cold, zapping all through his body and growing stronger by the second. It settles around in his body like a parasite, demanding MORE MORE MORE.

The look on Shredder's face while his life force is ripped away is horrifying but god does Leo love watching that man suffer.

A lazer cuts through the storm, burning Leo's shell. He looks over at 1987 Krang, the rage growing even stronger. He drops Shredder, allowing the man to live before charging.

He moves so fast Krang cant even move before his metal body is being furiously clawed to shreds, metal swirling around in the trashed Technodrome. He grabs Krang and rips him from the remains of his mech suit, gripping him so tightly.

Just as he's about to literally tear Krang in half, the 1987 turtles come in to see one of their friends causing this much destruction.

And so begins the plan to try and calm 2012 Leo down, but he doesnt exactly WANT to calm down. He wants Krang's blood splattered all over the walls. Its a difficult thing, trying to talk down an enraged, grieving turtle that is one of your friends.

Eventually the only one that can at least get 2012 Leo to cool it with the murderous rage for a few minutes is 1987 Raph (purely because he has the same voice as 2012 Donnie and Leo would naturally calm down if he thought Donnie was here)

At least until Krang manages to escape the Technodrome in one of his backup mech suits, with the intention of getting one of his weapons to destroy 2012 Leo and or to get help for Shredder.

Yeah that doesnt go as planned because 2012 Leo follows him into the city.

Now theres a violent, furious, ninpō powered turtle in the CITY.

Thats not going to end well.

Poor 2012 Leo needs a hug

@loser-swag Oh I guess I can talk about him. I guess. It’s not like he’s constantly in my head always it’s not like I’m thinking about him every second of every day. I can do that. (sarcasm)

Where to begin.

Ough okay so the death messages specifically. Let me copy paste a text I sent to my friend while I was coming up with that idea:

“God what if he records a special message for when the prosthetic or the scanner or weapon detects that its wearer is dying. What if they get a message in his voice being like “I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve this. None of us did. We’ll fix it, in the end. It will be okay. I hope.” And nobody ever finds out about this until they’re literally on the brink of death and resistance members who have gone their whole lives thinking Donnie was cold and heartless and actually enjoying the apocalypse in some way will get slapped in the face with his sincerity and won’t even have the chance to reform their opinion of him before they die.”

Since then I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Usually it would consist of him apologising (because he sees this as a failure of his tech, because it was meant to protect them), some short “you didn’t deserve this”, and then finally a promise to make things better. To try, at least. To do whatever he can. To give them some peace of mind before they die.

I don’t know how much value he thinks these messages will actually have. He was very tired when he first recorded it and decided to implement it. This would be at least a couple years after the initial invasion, when the Earth is already so unfamiliar to everyone. He just felt like the least he could do was help them die peacefully if he couldn’t prevent them dying in the first place. Either way, it’s probably appreciated more than he knows.

I wonder if he’s thought about whether it would be selfish to make the last thing they ever hear be his voice, but in the end it’s probably better than whatever they were hearing before. Must be awful to die to the sound of the Krang killing everyone around you. Must be awful to die alone on the cracked ground, bleeding out, and the only thing you can hear is your own struggling breath.

I don’t know. Anyway. It’s not like he tells anyone about this. It’s not necessary. Nobody needs to be consciously aware that he’s thinking of the moment when they’re going to die.

…

I think the Resistance has mixed opinions about him. No matter how valuable you are to the group, being “rude” means people will typically have a bad opinion of you. And this man is so exhausted from his constant workload, he really doesn’t have the energy to waste on deciphering the correct responses with the correct tone at the correct times. So he tends to snap a bit. And brush people off and tell them he’s busy, because he is. He learns to manage this better later on (when he adapts and is less overwhelmed) but it’s still there. Listen having low empathy in the apocalypse when you’re working with so many other people is difficult. But he prioritises getting work done over being pleasant to talk to and very few people actually understand how he works. So. It’s not worth it, you know?

Despite that, there’s a good amount of people that respect him more than anything. They know his tech is the only thing keeping them alive, and they know how much he works and how much he does to keep them all safe, so they can see past the fact that he forgets to greet people or respond or make eye contact. I’d say the percentage of people who dislike him overall is like. 40%. The rest are fine.

#foggy talks turtles #future donnie #thank you for asking about him I can talk about him whenever #I love him so much. I also get to project everything onto him #there’s more that I’ll probably add in a minute

TMNT AU SUMMIT 2.0; JTOEL EDITION

@tmntausummit

Part One: A poorly timed break

Cydon sighed wearily, rubbing at his forehead in a futile attempt to fight off the headache he could feel coming on. CJ had finally woken up seven minutes and 36, 37, 38 seconds ago. It had been an immense relief for everyone when they discovered that all that CJ had forgotten was the fight itself; He remembered everything up until he went through Leo’s portal, and then he was waking up in the Medbay with Mikey and Le- Cykey and Cyonardo at his bedside.

The following reunion had been emotionally draining for everyone involved, to no one’s surprise. It had ended with everyone gathering in the living room for a turtle pile, just to recover and regroup from the emotional rollercoaster that had just happened.

It wasn’t over yet, far from it actually.

The Krang were still out there, and they had a way to find them. Apparently, in all the chaos, CJ’s hockey-saw had been left behind, which meant The Krang could use that to track them. It would take them longer than if they had managed to capture one of them, especially considering the nature of CJ’s weapon, but still.

But it had bought them time, however limited it was.

An hour at the least and two at the most, depending on how long it took the Krang to cross the Upper Bay and get to Hell’s Kitchen.

So they could afford a few moments to do this. The kids deserved that much.

Cydon sighed again, having successfully fought off his headache for the time being, and tilted his head back to rest on Little Raph’s shell. While yes, there wasn’t anything little about him, he was certainly small compared to Cydon and his siblings. And just because he wasn’t the tallest didn’t make him the biggest, so he still held the title of Pile Pillow.

Little Raph was about 6’3ft, give or take, while Cykey- the smallest of the three future turtles- stood at 7’8ft. Cyonardo was 7’11ft, and Cydon himself was about 8’3ft. Cydon’s Raph had been a staggering 11ft, in fact.

So, yes, Little Raph was certainly little in comparison.

CJ had certainly been shocked when he saw how tiny the past versions of his parents were, but that's another story, for another time.

Right now, Little Raph was laying on a haphazard pile of blankets belly down, tucked up against the couch with his siblings bundled up in his arms and snuggled close to him. Mikey was dozing tucked away in his shell, settled comfortably against Raph’s jaw propped up against Donnie, who was leaning against Raph’s arm with his legs trapped under Raph’s head. Leo was leaning against Raph’s other arm, most of his lower half trapped under Raph’s chin as he dozed. April was tucked into the nook between Raph’s shoulder and neck, her glasses folded and tucked into her jacket pocket so she could doze comfortably. Splinter himself was resting on top of Raph’s head, curled up into a ball like, well, a rat. Whether or not he was actually asleep was up for debate, though Cydon suspected he was very much alert from the way his ears kept swiveling about and twitching at every little far away sound.

As for Cydon and his siblings (plus CJ and Shelldon, of course), they were tucked against Raph’s side. Well, trapped, more like it, since Raph had draped his tail over them.

Cydon was squished in the middle, Cyo on his right and Cykey on his left, both of them clutching his arms like they were terrified he’d disappear. CJ, likewise, had his arm (singular, his prosthetic was still being repaired) wrapped around Cydon’s chest and was half curled into a ball, his cheek pressed against Cydon’s plastron, over his heart. Shelldon was curled up between CJ and Cydon’s plastron, the antennae on the side of his head glowing to the rhythm of Cydon’s heart.

Quite frankly, Cydon’s legs were positively aching from the pressure, but he didn’t have the heart to tell anyone to move.

He’d… well, he’d missed this.

So he ignored the pain as best he could, leaned further into Little Raph’s side, let out a content rumble as he pressed his snout into CJ’s hair, and let himself relax.

And then, for a reason that could only be that the universe hated Cydon and his family having any kind of happiness whatsoever, they were falling.

Through a portal, to be specific. One that swirled in every color on the spectrum and more that humans didn’t even have a name for, one that was probably only open for a few seconds for all the years it took off Cydon’s already cut-short lifespan.

The landing was, to put it simply, chaotic.

Everyone was yelling and Cydon wasn’t prepared enough to stop his yell of pain, his already damaged nerves lighting up in agony at the absolutely horrible landing plus the weight of two giant turtles, a 13 year old human with a lot of muscle on him, and a sentient robot that weighed multiple tons landing on top of him.

Oh, and his headache came back with a vengeance.

Great.

For a few moments, he just lay on the ground with his eyes closed as everyone yelled around him, because god dammit this family really couldn’t have nice things. He was so tired, God, please, just let them have ten minutes of peace. Ten. TEN. PLEASE.

Someone was shaking his shoulder.

Ugh, just let him die at this point.

“Please, just let me die, it would be more peaceful than whatever the fuck is about to happen to us.” He groaned, bringing a hand up to cover his face.

Fuck, he’d landed on his antennae, that was just great. They were still ringing and he couldn’t hear OR see anything beyond the vague sense that multiple people were talking around him.

Someone, probably Cykey if the sharp claws were anything to go by, gently tapped his arm to get his attention, and he blearily opened his eyes and, to his surprise, could actually see what was happening.

Damn.

They were in what looked to be a… very large… lounge? That was the best word he could find to describe it, anyways. From just one look he could see what looked to be multiple versions of him and his brothers standing around and chatting amongst themselves.

And hanging from the ceiling was a giant banner that said ‘TMNT AU SUMMIT 2.0’.

He blinked very, very slowly at it.

Oh god, it’s a crossover.

His eyes fell down to what was below the banner, and to his absolute horror, he realized there was a runway.

A fashion show runway.

Oh god.

“The Krang tried and failed spectacularly, an entire skyscraper almost succeeded but ultimately failed, my own experiments blowing up in my face couldn’t even do the trick, and that giant ninpo blast from like two hours ago wasn’t even enough, but this? This is what’s going to kill me.”

Cyonardo sighed wearily from his right, and CJ made a distinct choking noise from his lap, Shelldon just (gently) bonked his plastron as a reprimand, and Cydon didn’t even have to look to see the face Cykey was making. Nevermind the Little Ones.

“Don, please, it is way too soon for those kinds of jokes.” Cyo pleaded, rubbing between his eyes.

“My supposed-death, my rules about when I can or I cannot joke about it.”

“Please-“
