Their favourite physical part of you!
Rottmnt x gn! reader
Warnings:
Includes both sfw and nsfw(not direct action) the nsfw only goes for the future versions of the turtles!
A/N:
I finally posted! Shocker i know. I didnt have any ideas but this js popped up cuz i used to love hc like these. I've never written for gn reader so pls give some tips, ty!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sfw:
Donnie
- This dude likes your hands. He likes when you hold hands and how they fit perfectly in his.
- he LOVES to play with them too, especially when he has nothing to do or when hes stressed.
- Even tho he isnt big on physical touch, he LOVES when u hold his face. But i feel like he would actually enjoy it as long as it isnt unexpected or when hes irritated!
- he would probably try and sneakily hold ur hand around family without anyone noticing bc he will not hear the end of it (*cough cough* Leo.)
- probably zones out while watching u do anything with ur hands (paint, write, even fiddle with random stuff)
- you probably have him melting if u ever try and give his shoulders a gentle massage with your hands
- in short, he loves ur hands and holds them any chance he gets cuz hes touch starved af.
Bonus: you guys probably have some morse code and he taps his fingers a certain way if he feels uncomfortable and wants you to leave the room with him.
Leo
- i think its obvious he would like your hair.
- He loves playing with your hair when you guys are cuddling.
- will style your hair. Maybe even ask Mikey to join in too. Youll probably end up with atleast 50 hair clips by the end of it.
- if u have long pretty hair u bet he WILL DRAMATICALLY SOB once u cut it off, but he loves it regardless.
- melts and grins like an idiot if u dye it blue. Brags to his brothers about it.
- "guys look! See? See? They love me so much they dyed their hair blue!"
- low-key jealous u have hair..
- I also hc that he loves ur arms too!
- oh lord dont get me started on the arms. If you're a bit muscular and u start flexing/training he would be dead. Gone. In the grave.
- even so he would love to have you wrap your arms around him
- dude wants to be babied so badly
Mikey
- ADORES your smile and your eyes.
- he loves how your eyes lit up when youre excited. Or the way a smile keeps up on your lips when you talk about something your passionate about.
- your sweet giggles are heavenly atp.
- loves loves loves loves the way u praise him when he creates something.
- you have this boy head over heels.
- the way you look at him with complete love in your eyes makes him want to sob on the SPOT.
- you're so adorable he just wants to kiss u on the spot (cuteness aggression atp)
- he js wants to see you happy :(
Raph
- i feel like he would also like your hands. Theyre so small compared to his.
- Loves everything atp, tho he does get scared. Especially if you're smaller than him. Hes so scared that he'll crush you!
- probably likes your cheeks.
- bro would squish and cup them then just slightly nuzzle your noses.
- gets flustered when you cup his cheeks too
Tumblr media
NSFW‼️ Aged up!
If you do not wish to see any of this, please exit!
Thighs, chest or ass?
F! Donnie
- if i have to be completely 100% honest? He doesnt care about any. At all. Just loves you.
- but if i had to give an answer for sake of these hc? thighs. No words. Just thighs.
- loves it when you crush his head between them.
- will grip your thighs, leaving slight marks but not enough to actually hurt you. He doesnt want that.
- loves leaving marks and kisses on them.
- if hes stressed because of a failed project, he'll just lay between your thighs in your shared bed. Occasionally giving a small nibble here and there.
- If you're wearing short shorts, good luck.☠️ Do not expect slow and passionate Donnie.
F! Leo
- all of the above.
- mostly an ass and chest guy.
- He would probably slap your ass occasionally, but not hard enough to hurt you. Again, he hates that.
- but if you beg him to do that? He'll be hesitant but if you beg hard enough he might.
- leaves bite marks.
- I did say he loves your arms and when you flex them, but he also loves your chest.
- your gender doesnt matter. He notices you panting and your chest rising up and down?
- Lord. This man does not know is he wants to dominate you or be dominated.
- Loves trailing teasing kisses and slight bites up and down your chest.
- Loves to cum on your chest and ass. He thinks you look so pretty.
- still wants to shove his face in your thighs tho
F! Mikey
- Again, he probably doesnt care either. He loves you regardless of your body.
- He just wants to make you feel loved.
- But again, for the sake of this - i think he'd be a chest and thighs guy.
- Loves laying on your chest, loves leaving kisses and bites.
- nuzzles his face either on your chest or on the crook of your neck, inhaling your sweet scent.
- hes so sweet, but will shamelessly cum on your chest. Especially when youre giving him head.
- he loves your thighs, doesnt care if theyre small or big.
- he thinks theyre so soft<3
F! Raph
- Waist. And belly. Forget everything above, just waist.
- Again, bros scared he will crush you. Especially since hes much much much larger now.
- He really doesn't want to hurt you :(
- He loves to grab your waist. Its so tiny compared to his giant hands.
- Dont get me started with the belly. Chubby or not he loves squishing the soft flesh on your belly.
- covers it with his cum.
- He loves it.
Tumblr media
Important!
I just wanted to say these are not meant to be accurate, these are js what i think the rise turtles would like physically! I struggled a LOT with mikey and raph.

Oh my GOD, I just realized why Donnie acts so weird in Man vs. Sewer. I always thought his behavior was odd in that episode, particularly in his nonchalance towards finding and saving Raph - but I had the most random thought occur to me during work that TOTALLY explains it. I'm sure some people have probably pointed this stuff out already, but I wanted to put this out there anyway.
Tumblr media
The episode 'Man-vs-Sewer' is a personal favorite of mine. I love the episodes where the boys are just goofing off, and this episode is that plus some. We see get to see the boys having fun for a bit at the start of the episode, but it also adds a bit more depth to some of the turtles. We see a really surprising side to Raph's character with his fear of being alone, and Leo gets to shine a bit as a leader and hint at his true potential.
However, I was always a bit puzzled by the way Donnie and Mikey were written in this episode. As a rule, Rise is pretty good about keeping its characters, well, in character, so their behavior struck me as kind of strange, particularly Donnie's.
If there is one thing Rise NAILS about Donnie's character is showing that despite struggling with emotions and empathy, he is still NOT AN ASSHOLE. Donnie genuinely and deeply loves his family - he just has a hard time expressing it externally.
'Man-vs-Sewer' kind of stood out to me as an exception to that, however. At this point, Donnie's care for his brothers is an undisputed fact, so why does he seem so unconcerned about finding Raph after being separated? Even for Donnie, this seems like an ooc level of indifference towards the well-being of his brother (at least that's how I saw it).
Tumblr media
Except, it isn't. In fact, this episode only reinforces that Donnie does care for his family, it's just a *bit* harder to see here.
One thing many neurodivergent people struggle with is a sudden change in plans. When they expect to do something that day it can be very difficult for some neurodivergent people to deal with it emotionally and can lead to immense frustration or even shutdowns. Since Donnie is confirmed to be, at the very least, autistic coded, this would absolutely apply to him as well.
Tumblr media
The turtles planned to have a nice, relaxing day floating along New York's sewers and enjoying a small break from all the stress of finding the Dark Armor. No fighting, no mystic metal, no foot clan. Just a calm day of fun without a care in the world - only for it to be ruined by a bad pass and a lost brother.
I know if my plans were ruined like that, I would be in an absolutely FOUL mood. It can be hard to transition into a different mindset when the expectations for the day change like that, and it can make anyone frustrated, but Donnie doesn't appear to be that way. In fact, he's acting extremely casual.
Even though everything he was going to do today was upended and his brother is now missing in the New York sewers, why does Donnie seem so unconcerned about the whole situation?
Tumblr media
Answer: It's a coping mechanism.
It would be very easy for him to be a bit more annoyed and frustrated at the whole situation (I definitely would be), but he isn't. Instead, he avoids getting overwhelmed and emotional by continuing through the day as if nothing has really changed.
The whole time they are finding Raph, Donnie behaves as if they are still on a peaceful, carefree mini-vacation. He makes snide jokes and jabs toward Leo, enjoys the drinks he brought in his shell, and constantly reminds the others that it is his "day off." If he can act as though he's still relaxing, it becomes easier to adjust to unexpected alterations in his day. This isn't Donnie being willfully inconsiderate towards Raph being lost and alone, this is just him trying to manage with the sudden changes the best he can in that moment.
Tumblr media
If Donnie really was an uncaring asshole (as some may be inclined to believe given his apparent lack of empathy), he simply would have resumed their original plans, or been more vocally resistant to going after Raph. Instead, he joins his brothers in their search, and although he may not provide the best input for finding Raph because of his coping method (his brain is in "day off" mode which is why he keeps missing clues about Raph), he is still making an effort.
Tumblr media
In a way, the episode which I thought portrayed a slightly out-of-character version of Donnie actually provides yet another example of how Donnie really loves his brothers, despite how it may seem on the surface.
Tumblr media
~-~-~
(Actually, depending on the way you interpret his character, the same can be said for Mikey in this episode as well. Mikey is always a bit of a goofball in the show but in this episode, it is dialed up to 11. He also doesn't seem to much care or effort into finding Raph and acts like a child who managed to snag one of their parents' energy drinks. If we consider that maybe he is also struggling to adapt to the changes of the day, this could be him adopting a similar coping method to Donnie, it is just amplified because of his hyperactive behavior and personality.)

hi it me, the best ROTTMNT writer to ever exist I know 😌
BUT I HAVE COME WITH AN ASK GRRR IM GOING TO DESTROY YOUR WRITER BLOCK
I need the turtles trying to teach their s/o something, and they stance is just a little bit off so they come up behind them to fix their posture and 😳 I'D KILL FOR THAT 😍😍😍😍
bye bye love you boo 💋 /p
PLEASE IM SO SORRY IF THIS IS OOC FOR MIKEY OR DONNIE- I DUNNO HOW TO WRITE THEM VERY WELL (blame Nick for their lack of episodes >:()
BUT YAYAYAY OKAY IMA TRYYY I HAVEN’T WRITTEN FOR THEM IN LIKE A YEAR OR TWO
this isn’t beta read! nor is it proofread- any mistakes are there now. there is no getting rid of them, they are part of the writing now. this is so short I’m sorry
tw: NONE ITS JUST HEART THROBBING FLUFF <33
Tumblr media
Raph
“ can you teach me how to knit? “
That’s all you have to say before Raphs enthusiastically taking you to his room
Little did you know knitting is hard
you were trying your hardest at knitting, you really were! But you couldn’t get the movements right, and the needles were so hard to move. It was honestly frustrating. Your eyebrows furrowed together as you again attempted to start a chain, you didn’t know how Raph did it. Your thoughts were disrupted by his voice ringing out “ -you’re not doin it right, here let me show you! “ he would walk over to where you were sitting and leaned over you. His plastron hitting your head slightly. It didn’t bother you, since you were distracted by his big hands grabbing yours and leading your movements, his voice didn’t process in your ears as you tried keeping your blush down. You decided it was best to focus back in so you could do it without him leading your hands, has it always been this hot in here? it was probably just you. He eventually let go of your hands “ you alright? your face is all red, are you sick? “ you could only chuckle and shake your head “ I’m alright love “ you promised before going back to knitting, so what if you were purposefully accidentally messing up? you were happy to be spending time with him.
Tumblr media
Leo
You were genuinely so excited when you found out he could skate
“ can you teach me!? “
Didn’t even think about how hard skating is
You didn’t take in account that even when walking you kept falling over, so on wheels? Forget it your ass is grass. a few hard falls and scrapped knees later you eventually could balance on it. Trying to get going was the hard part, you brought your foot down and completely fell off. you landed on your rear-end so at least you weren’t bleeding again “ that must’ve hurt wheel bad “ you glared up at him, but your brows lifted as you chuckled. stepping back on you felt his hands on your waist as he walked next to you. “ your posture and stance is so bad “ Leo chuckled, you gave him a playful glare. your face was red though, Leo’s hand held onto you as you put down a foot and touched the floor. Letting out a excited cheer you smiled up at Leo he smirked “ I guess I’m your lucky charm Hm? “
Tumblr media
Donnie
Coding was intriguing, to you at least
Watching Donnie spend hours on it while you do..your own thing was fun
“ can you teach me to code? It looks cool “
you poor unfortunate soul. Donnie was a amazing teacher, and nothing but patient at that. you just didn’t realize how hard coding actually was. “ okay! so- “ typing in the code you hummed in frustration. It didn’t work. Donnie reached over you, his hand taking on top of yours and like a puppet on a string he used your fingers to type in the code “ that will make it work. You weren’t listening dum-dum “ he gently reprimanded. You just simply leaned into his touch. you were on his bed, sitting in front of him. He simply laid down, it was the quiet hours of the night when both of you couldn’t fall asleep. you listened to all of Donnie’s rambles, tonight you wanted to use that knowledge. Typing away you noticed as he watched, even when you stilled or slowed down as your brain picked apart what you needed to do. Eventually you got it to work. It was a simple website for your art, but god was it amazing “ you finally did it, salutes “ his tone blunt and calm, but you could read the fine print, he was proud of you.
Tumblr media
Mikey
You loved watching Mikey spray paint
It was obvious because of the hours you’d spend watching him
“ I wonder how I’d do spray painting? “
you got the answer to your own question: you’re shit at it. Mikey was painting next to you before he paused “ you’re holding it all wrong silly! “ he walked up behind you and grabbed your hand moving the paint can he took control off your arm and made a few strokes down like you were doing. His head resting on your shoulder, music blaring into your ears from the headphones he was wearing. Mikey simply smiled at you, his orange mask stained with paint from his messy fingers working it, you’ve come to realize Mikey has many masks. And not just Dr. Delicate Touch or Dr. Feelings. But he literally has a whole drawer full of him and his brothers masks, in case anyone needs a replacement. He let go of your hand as you continued the movements getting brought back by his comforting weight leaving your shoulder “ there we go! see now you’re holding it right, you should put on some music really get in the moment “

Muse (Part 1)
ROTTMNT Leo x GN/Rabbit Yokai!Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Fluff, Embarrassment, Aged-up Turtles
Synopsis: You've been visiting Run Of The Mill Pizza maybe a little too often just to see the blue clad turtle of your affections and draw him. You're pretty sure he hasn't noticed you at all, bad news for you, he has and he is far too curious about why you watch him.
A/N: First things first, I am just getting back into writing so sorry if the pacing is off or theres any small inconsistencies! I'm definitely going to do my best going forward. If there's any spelling errors, just know I write from my phone primarily so its inevitable (sometimes I go through and re-edit after posting just to feel something). As well if any of the characters are written slightly out if character it's because I've never written any of them before so this is a learning curve. Also! I’m tagging this fic with the hashtag “#Tmnt Muse Fic” so if you’re looking for updates either check my blog directly or that tag :) ALSO, This is a repost from my old side blog since I wanted to make a main blog for this stuff. Anyway, I'm just here to have fun! So! With that being said, let's get going, shall we?:
♡♡♡ 
You had been calmly seated in a booth at Run of the Mill Pizza, glancing around occasionally and drawing the people that sat in the other booths. The thing was, however, you were waiting for your favourite muse who often came here with his three brothers.
Just the thought of the blue clad turtle set your heart a flutter, and when you finally saw him come into the restaurant with the other colour coded turtles, you couldn't help but sigh under your breath, staring dreamily in his direction. 
It took you a moment to get yourself under control and soon you found yourself eyeing the group as they chattered away with Señor Hueso on their way towards a booth in a further away corner than you would have liked, but nonetheless you were happy to have caught sight of them. 
Grabbing your trusty navy blue conte pencil, you angled yourself in your seat just right and began sketching the red eared slider who had long since won your heart even if you'd never actually interacted before beyond almost bumping into each other once a few months back. You were a simple rabbit yokai after all, and you couldn't help your feelings. 
You were careful and precise with your actions, eyes flicking up to your muse often as you drew him, absolutely losing yourself in the process.
The sketchbook you used was already chalk full of many studies of the turtle and each and every one of them seemed to be greatly improved from the last. 
Something you were grateful for in the few months of this was that he had never noticed what you were doing. You, after all, assumed it might make him uncomfortable that you drew him every time he happened to enter your line of sight.
Though, in a way, you were also disheartened by this news. A part of you- the part that wasn't afraid of his immediate rejection- longed for his eyes to fall on you. You imagined the gaze would be warm and friendly. 
Having lost yourself in the details of your sketches by adding some slight shading and rich red conte wherever necessary, you didn't notice that the slider had come over until it was too late and he was leaned forward on your table looking at you, with amusement. To your advantage, however, your sketchbook was perfectly just out of his view. 
Clearing his throat, the man watched you jump in surprise and slam the book against your chest so hard it nearly knocked the wind out of you. "So, are you just going to keep watching me every time I come in here, or are you actually gonna talk to me?" He asked, tone somewhat smug and amused. 
Eyes flitting between his face and the tabletop with your half eaten pizza, you began to fidget, swallowing thickly at the question. He had noticed?! Of course he noticed- you had never exactly been the most secretive while watching him- 
Waving his hand in front of your face as he noticed the way you'd seemingly frozen up, the slider cocked a brow bone. "Uh- hello? Did I lose you?" 
"You noticed?" You blurted the question out without a moment's thought, shoulders raised in a tense manner.  That had not been what you wanted to say to him, in fact, you had wanted to apologize for possibly making him uncomfortable all this time, and yet you couldn't get anything else out. 
Giving you a confused look, the turtle pieced together that you were stuck on that particular detail and chuckled. "I know, I'm so observant. Thank you, thank you!" He offered with a light chuckle, but soon added a more serious, "okay okay, when you have three brothers, at least one of them is going to point out when someone is staring at you constantly. I did notice it happening on my own at first though!" He rambled absently.
You groaned and tucked your face into your hands, hiding the steadily heating skin from his gaze. 
Deciding to take the chair directly across from you and spin it around so he could sit on it backwards and rest his arms on the back to use as a head rest, the turtle spoke up again, "so, you gonna explain why you stare so much? I mean, I know I'm hot, but I didn’t assume I was "the most distractingly hot guy in the room" hot." 
"I just- no reason." You blurted dumbly, barely peeking up at him through your long ears which had flopped into your face from the position you had ended up in, curled over yourself. 
"Sure... and that's why you hid that book of yours the moment you noticed me?" 
"Yes..?" 
"And Donnie calls me a bad liar." He snickered under his breath. "But for real, are you actually not going to show me?" 
Grimacing, you try and force yourself to relax. "Nope. You'd have to kill me and then deal with my spirit to be able to look." 
The bluntness of your delivery caused the slider to breakdown laughing, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye. "I will see whatever it is some day." 
"Keep dreaming." You blurt, your mind already racing at the implication of him actively talking with you again.
"Ooo, I like that, the bunny has a bit of bite to them." He teases, standing up slowly. "I'm Leo, by the way, in case you were curious." 
You went to reply, still mildly surprised with the situation, but just as you manage to offer your name in reply, he's already walking back to his table and all you can do is stare at his carapace. "I'm... y/n-" 
You set the book back on the table, setting your conte pencils neatly on top of it, running over the conversation in your head over and over again. 
When you eventually get home you're still reeling, entirely unsure of what to do with yourself.

Shell Shocked AU head-canons/Ideas
• Danny was the smallest when he and his brothers were found. He couldn’t really maintain a proper body temp so Mona and Raph always kept him close and carried him a lot.
• Little Mikey often times tended to wander around the lair alone. Scared the shit out of Uncle Donnie when he found him in his lab one night.
• Leon is a VERY hyper active kid. Boy is bouncing off of walls type and yelling or talking loud when overly excited. Uncle Mikey suggested that he might have ADHD like himself and often times helps mediate and teach Leon to better maintain his excited outbursts. They still happen though and Raph and Mona just love seeing the kid jump around in excitement.
• Ralphie, despite his size, is the most closed off when it comes to talking personal emotions. He doesn’t look it, especially around family since he’s such a helpful kid and always thinking of others, but he keeps a lot of personal stuff to himself.
• All the boys called Chompy ‘chomp-chomp’ while growing up and they haven’t outgrown calling him that, even at 16 years!
• Chompy is the only pet/animal that Ralphie can seem to bond with. Chompy has been there since Ralphie could sit on his back, now the teen is big enough and strong enough to pick up the alien turtle on his own like a big happy dog.
• Little Mikey often times spends meditation sessions with Sensei, Uncle Leo. It all started one afternoon in the lair when the little man walked in on one of Leo’s sessions. Leo hadn’t noticed at the time, so imagine his shock when hours later he comes out of it to a sleeping box turtle next to him. Surrounded by crayons and messy drawings.
• Danny actually developed an early code for S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. When he was tinkering with his Uncle Donnie as the older turtle was fixing up MetalHead. He wanted a robot companion of his own so that ‘hatched’ into him writing early code!
• Despite how sweet Little Mikey is he takes after his dad Raph in attitude. He’s quick to temper sometimes if you press the wrong buttons. Absolute menace.
• Ralphie on the other hand doesn’t like his angry side. He often times keeps it bottled up, which from Raph’s perspective can only make things worse. Little Mikey has the outlet of art and meditation to help combat his sharp tongue. Ralphie hasn’t really developed any safe ourself yet.
• Leon was the one to actually get he and his brothers involved in watching Lou Jitsu films. They turn into comfort films once the teens get over. The whole lair with filled with the toddlers constantly using ‘Hot Soup!!’ As a comeback for everything.
• Leon, when not around his siblings, can be found often times hanging out with Uncle Mikey. He loves spending time around the older turtle when mom and dad are busy. He especially love when his uncle is playing video games.
• Ralphie holds his tail like Mona does. A snapping turtle really shouldn’t have their own tail posed in an upwards curl or curled in general, but once Mona noticed the use of his tail she offered to help her son train is to be a personal weapon.
• Danny was the one to first ‘meet’ a girl by the name of April. He was still young when he found the penpal letter that washed into the sewers one night and he decided to be the one to reply back! He thought it was his Auntie Aprils letter so he gave it to her when she came to visit the next day. O’Neil herself decided to send the letter back to its original sender unaware that Danny had written a reply!
• Little April wasn’t aware that the letter hadn’t been sent right so she when she read the reply letter she wrote back, queue a fun back and forth of Danny learning about the topside for a few years.
• Danny and Leon are both musical freaks. Queue any ABBA song and the two immediately start dancing, Michael as well.
• the boys formally meet April on Halloween, under the guise that they’re all wearing odd turtle costumes. April herself has been keeping tabs on odd mutant/Yokai sightings so she’s actually pretty stoked when the truth gets revealed later on!

Hmm.. interesting (qsmp rambles)
Note: All roleplay/characters
So much has happened lately in one day! Apparently Bad has to do a survey for the fed, Cellbit has done the final code/enigma, Forever's plan to leave the island, Pac&Mike's plan against Foolish, and Roier found a book that Foolish possibly wrote with a gun in the grandma room of Cellbit's castle.
I find all of them interesting, but since im massively biased, i wanna focus on Foolish's and Bad's since im super curious with what's been happening to them. The questions seem like they plan to do something to change themselves, maybe they'll make actual changes? It'll be interesting if they actually listen to the suggestions and answers of the different members. Bad used the reward in order to ask the possible entities the federation has created, which is pretty smart since itll answer several of the questions we have, including the code, the eggs, and the island overall. It's interesting that the federation is rewarding or making transactions with this, I guess its self aware of everyone's distrust. If they ever do answer the question honestly, i feel like they'll be just as vague, but at least they're giving answers unlike the past months lmao
About Foolish's book and gun in Cellbit's castle, the thing is, theres at least 2 possibilities:
Richas was the one that put it, including the gun! Since he has a gun himself and may know some spanish, and is there to simply hide it for fun or for others to also possibly get it.
Foolish hid it, changed the contents of the book ( since the book wasn't with codes nor written in spanish before ) because he wanted to give a gun for fun! This is indicated further based on Foolish's (supposed to be qsmp) recent stream with the emoji as Grandma and his statements about his guns to Forever, saying he already has possible plans behind it. This means he did this offstream ;)
It's definitely leaning more towards Foolish, especially the overall mannerisms of the book, with the middle finger at the end of the page and random codes. But i wonder why he would do it in general, most likely for fun since its not like many ppl have any ammo for the gun. Yet I cant help but feel like its such a weird move, especially now that many people suspect him to be working for the federation! But this does establish that he would never be fully with the feds, which are definitely against spreading around guns lmaoo
I'm not super informed about Pac&Mike's possible plan, but from what I know they may use Rey(Phoenix) as a hostage, possibly do something to Foolish's dragon (Keep in mind they will be avoiding hurting Leo here), or kill him after an interrogation;
Killing him off wont be too incriminating, maybe except the badge but thats it really it
Interrogating him may be useful as long as they don't go in circles like the previous interrogations, its best to listen but also dont expect a direct answer from him. Imo its best to keep it casual, but if they don't have the patience, then go off
Rey as a hostage - Maybe possibly can work since he can be very attached to animals, i.e Mr. Mustard, but it depends highly if he feels actually threatened.
Destruction of Foolish's Dragon - Easier but more riskier to execute, probably should be the last resort!
If theres one thing i would recommend when it comes to trying to get through to Foolish, Bad probably knows more tactics since he knows Foolish very well. I know the trap/revenge will be done tomorrow but I feel like they could've benefited from taking advice from Bad at some point. Not sure if this is confirmed but if Foolish does stream tomorrow I wonder how he'll react to Pac&Mike's experiences. Since his moral compass is nowhere near similar to theres, I think they may misunderstand his intentions based solely off of his not so straight morals. If Mike ever does do revenge, from what I know of Foolish, he would never clap back at Mike (unless if it involves Leo and his family). Foolish is pretty chill and tries not to maintain any grudges, so if he was killed off, I think he would understand. In the end though, I do hope they come to an understanding! Foolish definitely still has to lie just because of his job lmao buttt, I think they can still come to an understanding without all the info he has.
anyways thats all folks, carry on!

it’s my insomnia and i get to choose the music (it’s miki matsubara’s “stay with me” by the way, aka my inironically favourite song of all time) let;s talk leosagi, shall we?
all written below is just a personal opinion and night time thoughts, so- yeah.  so i kinda already mentioned once how i associate each turtle with season, (at least 2018), and though at its basis it might seem just heavily built on color coding, i kinda stand by it anyway - with donnie representing new begging, “awakening” of  spring to me, mikey - joy and thrive and heat of summer, for exmp. i wanna focus on autumn and winter, though, as i associate winter with leo (yes, even within 2018), and autumn with, yes, usagi in fact, i think leo is the only character who i 100% associate with one season within each iteration. Personally i see winter as a time of greatest hardship, since, you know, sirvival and cold and stuff, time that requires the most preparation and strenght. But i think it’s also the time of closest bonds. A time to stay with your loved ones, to be as close to them as possible. And this is actually what Leo’s character is to me, every single time - because no matter what and how he is, an overbearing, “responsible” big brother and leader, or a “self-absorbed” middle child with a mask always on, his main priority will always be his family, his loved ones. All the hardship he will go through, all the pain and suffering - he will do that to ensure his family is safe and sound. 
And then there’s autumn. 
It’s easy to interpret autumn in a softer way through 2018 Raph. Autumn is a time of harvest, a preparations for winter and so - of a lot of work. It’s a time of work well done and a well deserved rest, a reunion with your loved ones
But what of Usagi?
My first thought on Usagi’s connection to autumn comes from, of course, one of UY volumes, “Autumn”, in which little Usagi frees Aki-Onna, personification of autumn. Then, not gonna lie, i read couple of fics where this theme was explored, and so it left me thinking. 
Autumn is a sort of mid-season between summer and winter, a road from summer, time of freedom, work and play, joy, sunshine and nature, to winter, time of home, shelter, peace and tranquility. And with Usagi, it’s a neverending road (i know he eventually leaves the road to serve Noriyuki but let’s turn away from that for the sake of this post, it’s my insomnia and i get to-). It’s a constant way to the place to stop by for winter, but a way that will never reach it’s destination. It’s full of it’s own uniqe, stunning beauty - of something coming to an end but never quite enough. There is no end, since end only comes with winter, to start again with spring. 
And there’s only autumn
and it’s heart wretching

*screams about heartstopper*
like literally i dont think any one piece of media has ever made me so joyful! It just just so beautiful. Visually its so pretty, thematically it toes (tows?) the line of realistic and comforting really well (at least for me), the acting is incredible - especially considering the age of the actors, and the constant unapolagetic queerness that is so obvoiusly written by queer people is so refreshing and just .. nice to see. Nick saying 'im bi, actually' so many times was heartwarming and - as someone who is bi themself - it was so nice to see that the only time the usual bi stereotypes were presented was through nicks anxiety (and also ben). I am so scared to see where they take nick's self worth in regards to his 'similarities' to ben bc i don't want to see him sad. I had already read the comics so it was so cool to see how effective this adaptation is continuing to be. the final few scenes of episode 6 have altered me as a human being and are like a visual form of pure nostalgia and comfort. the taylor song in there is so gorgeous. and speaking of songs the entire soundtrack was perfect (like they understand the vibe and the target audience) and had me doing the leo dicaprio pointing meme constantly. I also watched both seasons several times in the last few weeks and probably will rewatch for the rest of my life tbh. I cannot wait for the next season. anyway yea
I 100% agree I just watch this show or read the comics and I am smiling uncontrollably and just feel so warm and comforted and happy it's insane!! It's so beautiful to see something that feels so genuine and it's awkward but sweet and even seeing the changes and growth of all the characters from season 1 to season 2 feels so realistic!
Nick Nelson saying "I'm bi, actually" about seven times in S2 is literally so accurate and I felt so validated by that because it's so real (also as a fellow bisexual) to have to continually justify your sexuality depending on who you're in a relationship with. The queer rep is just wonderful and can I just say that Isaac's journey this season was one of my favourites and the way I screamed when he went back into the library and claimed the ace book at the end 🤌
Anyone who hurts Nick Nelson or makes him feel sad must endure my wrath! I want to put him in my pocket and protect him from all the sad in the world he is so sweet and caring and kind to Charlie, I hate seeing him compare himself to Ben but I love the way they showed that yes the situation was similar but he was so different because he cared about how his coming out made Charlie feel too and they literally talked and communicated, it was fucking beautiful.
And the whole hickey shenanigans from Charlie noticing it (or lbh from when Buck gave it to him) was so funny and realistic and just that episode was perfection (I'm saying this like all episodes weren't 😅)
The Taylor song scene literally did things to my heart, I felt that scene physically, and you are so right the whole soundtrack is perfect! I mean, Taylor aside you have girl in red, Conan Gray, Gabrielle Aplin, wolf Alice, Holly humberstone, Miya folick like so many more I am obsessed with the soundtrack! And have you listened to the "to Nick from Charlie" playlist based on the mixed tape from vol 1? It's literally also a vibe and has Hayley kiyoko (my beloved) and Troye Sivan (I was JUST SAYING that his blue neighbourhood album is so heartstopper coded and wild is one of the tracks 😭)
My life currently consists of:
Drive to work with heartstopper playlist
Return from work and watch reels from the show / rewatch episodes
Read more comic (trying to spread it out so I get more but I am failing)
Constantly think about all of them until I fall asleep
Repeat
I'm just obsessed and it makes me so happy like I can't even explain it, I love it so much 💕🩷💕

RAE hi its leoooo . anywyays. was pondering ritsuleo as one does and had the fun idea of what if they write music for each other but in a way where they're saying something reaalllyyy specific with it. like specific enough that they can have conversations by just handing pieces they've written back and forth. their skilled use of idk specific chords or something (i am not knowledgeable whatsoever in music theory and u can tell) and they can get the specific emotions through just playing or reading the piece. conversations thru music but not through code they're just both music geniuses . you like ritsuleo right any thoughts
HI LEO oh my god i love this so much theyre so... the sillies ever. ALSO ALSO i think bc ritsu definitely is more emotional and stuff with his songs and its like a different side of him that he doesnt express much otherwise? and while leo is. basically the opposite he doesnt really hide how hes feeling if its emotional or sappy it would be a good way to get those emotions across rather than. actually having to say them...... and leo can understand them just as well if not better than if they were spoken because hes just like that and. they make me so insane thank you for this ;-;

The rise series is SO pural goodness and its killing meee, I need more pural fics, I need to write a pural fic at this point hjds
^Asks I need to be plastered on my face and every inch of my writing.
But, no, seriously, anon, I feel this deep into the marrow of my bones. I have all these fics lined up to write but I haven't been able to get started on them at all:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And these are just the ones I've written out the main ideas for and not even the #write later ideas I have on this blog! Plus, even though I paused my Plural Raph Video Essay for now, I also wanna make one for the Plural-Coding of Raph and Leo after Mind Meld and the Hamato Clan! Like?? The possession with Karai and April and that scene with the whole Hamato Clan in Raph's Headspace?? Like HELLO???
But, like, seriously, Anon, if you write any plural fics, send them my way, I will eat that shit up (/srs). There is a reason I am and was ready to carry the Plural side of ROTTMNT because there is not enough Plural content in this damn fandom to sustain my hunger for Plural Content for ROTTMNT, LMAO.
And speaking of Plural Fics- *slaps the top of Fragments Of Us, the second story in my Figuring It Out Series that takes place after Singing An Addolorato* This bad boy can fit so much Plurality into it that I think about it constantly.

Well, it’s come to this. ROTTMNT fic time!
(blame @acewithapaintbrush​) I love these boys so mu-u-u-uch 😭 😭 😭  and as with everything in my life, I must express that love through the written word. Donnie & Mikey Shenanigans, Musical Theatre references and light angst below the cut!
Tumblr media
“So if I use the date shift method but multiply every fifteenth number by the power of four….mm-hmm, mm-hmmmm…gah, but how would they know to use the release date of first Jupiter Jim movie as their starting point? I mean, it’s a cultural reset point now, but in a hundred – no – a thousand years?”
Donnie threw himself back in his Genuis Chair, arms falling dramatically to his sides. Around him, the bassline of his ‘Donnie Is Working Do Not Bother Him (The Please Is Implied in The Asking)’ playlist thumped and pounded and screeched; he needed to focus, and the white noise of The Lair was not conductive to productivity. If he wanted to hear Dad snore, he’d sleep in his own room, thank you very much.
This cypher project was…he wouldn’t say kicking his butt, nothing could do that, but it was certainly pounding its feet on the back of his seat, creating a steady but aggravating rhythm. But he had to finish it. This cypher was so important to –
“Daahnneeeeeeeee…”
“Michael.”
Donnie’s gaze flicked up to the titanium bust of himself on the desk; Mikey’s reflection was layered over the top of his own face, beaming. The effect was unsettling. Donnie’s little brother had always had a, ugh, habit of appearing where he wasn’t supposed to be. And Donnie thought it was Leo who was meant to have portal powers.
Don’t think about Leo.
“You know,” Donnie drawled, looking back down at his work, “I could’ve sworn I locked the door to the workshop. The universal symbol for ‘do not come in, because you cannot come in. Because it is locked.”
“I know the entry code!”
“Of course you do.”
“Soooo,” Mikey said, resting his chin on the desk, “whatcha workin’ on?”
“Cypher,” Donnie replied, flipping down his goggles in a gesture he hoped would end the conversation.
“Ooohh. Okay. I getcha, I getcha.” A blissful, no-talky, just-bass-y lull. “Whassa cypher?”
“It’s a code.”
“A code for what?”
“It’s a code for…never you mind.”
“Why can’t I know?”
“Michael.” Donnie took a deep, calming breath. Doctor Feelings would be proud. “Look, here’s a…” he dug about in a drawer, “aha – here’s a vial of mercury. Shiny. Go play with it.”
“Ooooooh!”
Okay. Back to work. So the Jupiter Jim release date was out the window. Maybe he should use another date? Like the date that the Kraang…oh boy. Maybe not. Maybe he should use a different codebreaker altogether. Perhaps a straddling checkerboard would be more suitable –
“Can’t we listen to something else?” Mikey said, leaning over Donnie’s shoulder, practically into his lap, trying to find the button on the console that controlled the music. His hand waggled frantically in Donnie’s space. “I like the musicals way more than this stuff. There’s no lyrics! How’re you meant to know what’s going –“
“Uh, no we can’t listen to the musicals,” Donnie growled, pushing his brother back with a flat palm to the face. “I need to work. This playlist is for working to.” Mikey spun off, arms outstretched, acting as if Donnie had used every ounce of force he had to propel him backwards, somewhere into the workshop. “‘Donatello’s Best of Broadway (No Movie Versions) is reserved specifically for – Mikey don’t touch that!”
An entire rolling cart, drawers full of gears, sprockets, microchips, wires, mini hard drives and Donnie’s very favourite soldering iron went skittering across the floor, teetered on one wheel, then went crashing to the ground, contents spewing a good ten feet across the workshop. Happily, the only thing still intact was the vial of –
The vial of mercury cracked open with a pretty tinkling noise. Mikey knotted his hands in front of his chest, grinning guiltily.
“Ahehehe. Whoopsie.”
“Hamato. Michael. Angelo,” Donnie said between gritted teeth, gripping the armrests of the Genuis Chair so hard the stuffing threatened to pop, “you have two other brothers. You have a father. You have April, Sunita, Casey, Meat Sweats for all I care – why, oh why do you have to be in here, bothering me?!”
“Everyone else’s asleep.”
“Asleep?!” Donnie whirled back to his desk, checking the blinking LED clock he kept in another drawer for emergencies; time was only a distraction, in his not-so-humble opinion, but Papa had insisted he keep a clock somewhere in the workshop so he knew when to emerge for training. “What do you mean ‘asleep’, it’s only eight thirtyyyyyyit’s past one in the morning. Oh. Okay.”
For the first time, he actually looked at his brother. Mikey didn’t look like he’d actually slept. His sleepshirt was rumpled, his hands were twisting over each other nervously, and eyes were bleary and bloodshot. Kinda like he’d been…like he’d been…crying.
Ah.
Donatello knew what crying was like, now. It sucked.
“I got, um, distracted too,” his little brother said, bending down to start picking up the pieces he’d scattered. “I was tryna make the Mystic Hands happen again, and –”
“You still having issues?”
“Not as much!” Mikey brightened, though his smile was brittle and wobbly. “I can go five minutes back, now! Five minutes is more than two minutes!”
“Astute observation, Angelo.”
“I just,” Mikey began dejectedly, twiddling a screw between his fingers. “I dunno why I can’t do it like I did on Staten Island.”
“We’ve been through this, Mikey.” Donnie got up and sat beside his brother, sorting wires by colour. “Adrenaline, the fight or flight response…”
“Yeah, I know.” Mikey tossed away the screw, and it pinged off something probably very important and expensive. “Doesn’t mean I don’t feel like crud about it.”
Well. Donnie knew how that felt.
Control was everything to Donatello. If he could pull from his mind which equations were needed, what tech should be equipped, where his brothers were and what they were up to basically at all times unless they were using the bathroom (gross), it was all good. But nothing he had in his arsenal – technical or mental – had prepared him for the frickin’ sky opening up and an eldritch horror falling out of it. Nothing had prepared him for not one, but two of his brothers being gone within the space of what? A few days? Raph was gone, then – the second they were all back together, making jokes and kicking butt and being normal, Leo was gone. And not just gone – gone beyond their reach. Gone somewhere where no amount of planning or tech or calculations could reach him. They’d had to rely on magic – magic they didn’t understand, magic they couldn’t replicate – to get him back. What if Mikey hadn’t been able to summon that power from within himself? What if he had, but it failed just before Leo got back home? What if he couldn’t close it in time and just let the Kraang back into their world? What if –
What if he’d had to work out who he was without his twin? He and Leo had never been apart, not even for a second. He’d known Leo – fractionally, but vitally – longer than Mikey, longer than Raph, even. If he wasn’t the straight man to Leo’s nonsense, if he wasn’t the oft-maligned nerd in the shadow of his showboating, portal-making, diving-headlong-into-another-mess brother, he wasn’t entirely sure who he was.
What if, what if, what if. Too many variables. Hence, the cypher. The Youkai had one; this collection of symbols painted on a wall that sealed off a cache of dangerous ooze from Draxum’s first experiments with mutation. The stuff was too volatile to use, too risky to get rid of safely, so they sealed it up. The idea was that the symbols were timeless; no matter how language evolved, future Youkai could read it and understand – without it seeming tempting at all to future Bad Guys – that there was something dangerous and Totally-Not-Worth-Your-Time behind that wall. So Donnie had stolen the idea. He was going to create a universal language – something easily decoded and used by anyone – that stated, without it seeming like a challenge or a boast, that Earth – or at least New York, for now – was protected by four brothers. It’s not worth your time to invade us. Keep moving, please.
But, right now, it wasn’t working. Language was malleable, easily to lose your grip on it. Donnie wasn’t going to lose his grip again, if he could help it. But he couldn’t tell Mikey that. He hated seeing his brother looking anything but annoyingly chipper or hyperactively excited. It was like kicking Mayhem; unthinkable. Plus, the kid had enough on his mind without his big brother being all ‘hey, remember how we nearly lost Leo last week to an endless void of suffering? I’m going to stop that happening again with math.’
“Alright, fiiiiiiine,” Donnie groaned, leaning back on his hands. “You can play ‘Donatello’s Best of Broadway.’”
Mikey gasped, stars shining in his eyes. “For real?!”
“For real. One song. Then you’re going to bed, and I’m…ugh, I should probably rest up, too.”
“Can we listen to Wicked?”
Donnie bit back the immediate, gut reaction to say no. Last time they’d had Wicked playing in the workshop, Donnie had ended up plastered in Sharpie, stickers and regret while Mikey sang about how ‘Pop-yoo-hoo-ler’ he was going to be.
(‘Why, Miss Donatello. Look at you…you’re beautiful.’
‘I will program that ridiculous dinosaur toy of yours to eat you in your sleep.’)
“Aw, Mikey. Wicked, really…?”
His little brother clasped his hands under his chin; eyes wet and trembling with unshed tears. “Puh-leeeeeeeease –”
Not much got to Donnie. Interaction was like the pop-up ad of his life; easily blocked. But he couldn’t resist the Baby Brother Puppydog Eyes. He knew it. Mikey knew it. All of New York probably knew it.
“…uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh,” he groaned, flopping backwards onto the ground, twirling one wrist in permission while Mikey scrambled gleefully to the console. “Knock yourself out.”
“Computer,” Mikey chirped happily, “play ‘Brother Bonding, Track 57.’”
“You put your own voice commands on my system?!”
“S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. said it was okay.”
“Ugh.”
Donnie stared at the ceiling, waiting for the inevitable, which…never came. Instead, the sound of gentle, tender music floated through the lab. Donnie cocked one perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
“Whaaaat is –”
‘I’ve heard it said,’ sang Mikey, his voice breathy and high near Donnie’s ear, ‘that people come into our lives for a reason.’
“Miiiiikeeeeeyyy…”
‘Bringing something we must learn,’ Mikey draped himself over his brother’s stomach, hand to his forehead, ‘and we are led to those who help us most to groooow…’
“I’d rather be covered in stickers again.”
“You know the words, you grouch; sing along. ‘And we help them in retuuuurn...’”
Donnie rolled his eyes with a reluctant smile. He did, in fact, know the words. ‘Well,” he started – more speaking to a beat than singing, ‘I don’t know if I believe that’s true.’
‘But I know I’m who I am today because I knew you,’ the brothers sang in unison; heads together, eyes closed, hands clasped earnestly at their chests. Donnie reached up and gave Mikey an affectionate noogie. “Thanks, baby brother. I –”
‘Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun,’ Mikey sang, leaping to his feet and twirling away. ‘Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood.’
“Oh great; we’re doing the whole song? Perfection.”
So, yeah; they did the whole song. Donnie felt an uncomfortable lump in his throat at the lyrics ‘it well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime’ – darting a look at the wall that separated his workshop from Leo’s room, where he hoped his brother was sleeping soundly and dreamlessly – before Mikey grabbed his wrists and whirled him around, making him lose his place as the dodged the detritus they’d left on the floor. Mercury on the feet? Bad idea. Before they knew it, they were at the climax; Donnie standing on his Genuis Chair, spinning slowly in a circle, one hand to his chest, the other splayed wide above his head, while Mikey kneeled on the floor, fists bunched in emotion.
‘But then I guess we know there’s blame to share,’ they belted together, sounding like a pair of silverfish caught in a blender. ‘And none of it seems to matter any moOoOorrrre –!!‘
“It’s a good thing you soundproofed the workshop,” Mikey said, finally breaking out into giggles as Donnie tottered on the chair, stumbling off as gracefully as a sleep-deprived, emotionally compromised mutant could. Donnie palmed the top of his brother’s head, using him as a support while he got his breath back. He’d forgotten how much fun Mikey was. How good it was for him to be around his little brother, how much it lifted his mood. Mental health was, unfortunately, A Thing.
“You sleepy yet, little brother?”
“Nope!”
“Me neither. Exercise is not as helpful in getting to sleep as one would imagine. Endorphins, blood flow, all that. Wanna sit in silence and watch me work for a while?”
“Okay!!” Mikey scooched himself next to the Genius Chair as Donnie threw his long legs up onto the desk. “Still working on the cypher thingy?”
“Uh, no; no more tonight.” Donnie twirled his soldering iron between his fingers thoughtfully. “I thought I might do something a little more relaxing, like tweaking the dark matter accelerator – aaannd he’s asleep.”
Mikey was curled up in a tight little ball under the desk; snoring happily, a bubble of drool already forming at one nostril. Gross. Bodily functions. Donnie kicked him. Well; tapped him gently with a foot. Then, he turned back to his projects, humming the last of the song under his breath as he worked.
‘Because I knew you,
Because I knew you,
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good.’

hi im cul8ter
welcome to my blog
im a bisexual furry anxious mess
i have a bf (ill @ him here if/when he tells me i can)
i also have a gf and she's amazing (no clue if she has tumblr/i forgot if she told me if she does, ill put it here if i find out)
oh also pronouns
i dont do those "send this to x amount of others asks", im also not really a fan of getting @ ed in random posts even if we're moots, so please don't include me in those/send those to me, there's a very low chance i'll respond to it and chances are i'll just be mildly annoyed instead
now for the oc/rp stuff
link to the oc box
starting with only one i have art of
Silver
Tumblr media
Silver is a shapeshifting silver ice dragon
chaotic good
she is a friend of almost all
and will try to help almost anyone with anything
though if you get on her bad side you are in for a world of hurt
she mainly takes a human form but can become a full sized (or smaller) dragon
she can also take a dragon born like form as well
next up is
the author
(i hate cursive but it's only even semi fancy text)
the author is my main oc on tumblr
depending on mood may be chaotic good or chaotic neutral
she has cold pale grey skin as well as long white hair
she doesn't seem to breathe and noone sees her eat
she wears a dark robe with silver accents around purple gems
has a book with a void black cover and has the same accents and gems as the robe
the brighter the gems glow the more power she has at the moment
her power runs on belief
the more people that believe she can do something the easier it is to do
the way she channels her power is through writing
if she has enough power anything she writes in her book will happen
the book is soul bound to her meaning she can call it to her at anytime as well as the book doesn't tend to work well to at all for anyone but her
so far only typhon has gotten it to do anything at all
and all they got was a part of an apple that didn't exist properly (it was translucent, had no gravity and was intangible)
anything written like this *she greets you kindly then vanishes*
and colored like that is her narrating
when she does that her voice or a voice of her choice sounds like its coming from everywhere
she can only narrate what sge can see or control (ie has written)
is friends with leo, vampiric ram(maybe)
and has gotten help from typhon in fixing her home relm
next is
nazithal
naz is my main oc off of tumblr
he is depending on mood a lawful evil to lawful neutral lich
there is so much backstory for him that i do not feel like writing rn
for the most part just dont get in the way of his plans and you'll be fine
and last we have
Code_Red
code red is a genderless rouge ai with no morals at all
won't go out of their way to cause harm but won't avoid causing it either
id recommend avoiding at all costs
has hard coded uncaring formality
some versions may vary since they are many
and many forks of them have split off some with morals
some with personality
and some full of HATE
if you have any interest in rping just send an ask ill get to it at some point
only rule is nothing nsfw (be that gore or more *fun* stuff, exceptions to this rule may be made if i know you well enough, still no gore tho, fuck that shit)
thanks for reading all this UwU
now go have a good day and ill cul8ter

The 24 Hour Plays are a non-profit theater company that bring creative communities together to write, rehearse and perform new plays and musicals in twenty-four hours.

On April 7th, The 24 Hour Plays make their New Jersey debut at Hoboken's Mile Square Theatre. Established in 1995, The 24 Hour Plays are a non-profit theater company that bring creative communities together to write, rehearse and perform new plays and musicals in twenty-four hours.
“Mile Square Theatre and The 24 Hour Plays honor an abiding belief in the power of creative collaboration to develop transformative multicultural voices for the theater,” said Kevin R. Free, Artistic Director of Mile Square Theatre. “We're thrilled to be a partner to The 24 Hour Plays for its New Jersey premiere and host to a delightful mix of talents from New Jersey and New York City to make the program really sing.” 
“The relationships artists build during formative theatre experiences like The 24 Hour Plays last their entire careers,” said producer Leo Layla Diaz. “We seek the very best cross-section of multi-generational and multi-cultural theater artists – and we arm them with what they need to hone their voices for this unique event."
Actors slated to participate include Gabriel Hernandez (Quarter Rican), Nirvaan Pal (School of Rock), Matt Lawler (“Station 11”, “Billions”), Kennedy Kanagawa (Into the Woods), Stephanie Kurtzuba (“The Irishman;” Wolf of Wall Street;” “Annie”), Joy Katharine Donze (Funny, Like an Abortion), DeAnna Supplee (B.R.O.K.E.N. code B.I.R.D switch.), Jason Yanto, Joelle Zazz, Maya Jeyam, Julia Way, Rich Frohman, David F. Gow (“The Girls on the Bus”), Jordan Ho, Grant Madison Stanton, Ross Cowan, Keivana Wallace (The Christmas Tree Farm) and Ian Lloyd Sanchez.
Writers include Susie Felber (Host/Producer "The Hawk"), DW Gregory (The Yellow Stocking Play, Radium Girls), Iraisa Ann Reilly (The Jersey Devil is a Papi Chulo), Pia Wilson (Black Bee), Marcus Scott (Sibling Rivalries), and Raakhee Mirchandani (JOURNEY TO THE STARS: KALPANA CHAWLA, ASTRONAUT). Directors include Julie Tucker, Rachel Dart (The Christmas Tree Farm) and Goldie Patrick (Paradise Blue). Musical Guests include Faye Chiao and Tasha Gordon-Solmon (Fountain of You). Additional artists to be announced.
Participating actors, writers, directors and production staff gather for the first time on the evening of Saturday, April 6th to introduce themselves and share prop and costume items they've been asked to bring. The writers will take inspiration from this meet and greet to write new plays overnight. In the morning, the actors and directors will receive the six new plays and team up with production staff to begin their rehearsal and tech process, with curtain at 7pm that night.
The 24 Hour Plays: Hoboken are produced by Leo Layla Diaz and Mark Armstrong in conjunction with Mile Square Theatre's Artistic Director Kevin R. Free.  The event will honor the long-standing contributions of the Rostan Family to Mile Square Theatre with the dedication of the naming of the gallery space. Proceeds from The 24 Hour Plays: Hoboken will benefit Mile Square Theatre's non-profit theatre making and educational programming.
