may have written Another cmh/dw crossover listen i j. i love them. uh. enjoy @remedyturtles

Leo doesn’t know how he got here – or why – but he would like it on record that he hates it. For one thing, no one can see him. Oh, sure, the Donnie here has goggles, but he hasn’t put them on once. Never mind the fact that he has no reason to, without knowing Leo is here. It’s not his fault – Leo knows it isn’t. Hell, it’s not anyone’s fault (besides whoever or whatever dropped him here without so much as a ‘have fun, I’ll pick you up in an hour’, and thanks for that, by the way).

But regardless of fault or lack thereof, it just… it reminds him too much of a time he’d rather not think about. When his family couldn’t see him, when they didn’t know he was there, when he was stuck watching them grieve and unable to do a thing about it.

It doesn’t help that he has to watch them interact with this universe’s Leo knowing that he doesn’t have that and never will again (even once the body is ready, it still won’t be the same). Oh, yeah, did he mention that? This universe also has a Leo. Which, to be fair, he should’ve expected going in, but it’d still come as a surprise to him when he walked into the living room to see another him just. Sitting there.

Other-Leo can’t see him either, by the way. And yeah, again, he should’ve expected that. But some part of him had still hoped (irrationally, he knows it was irrational, he knows) that being the same person would grant him an exception.

Okay, they’re not actually the same person, not really. Versions of the same person, sure, but… there’s too many differences for Leo to say they’re the same. Other-Leo is missing an arm, for one, but more importantly… he’s still alive. And Leo’s glad about that, really! He is! He wouldn’t wish something like this on anyone else (okay, maybe a few people – or aliens – but shut up, that doesn’t count). And he wouldn’t be so selfish as to wish he could trade places with other-Leo. He just… wishes he was still alive, too.

Well. You can’t always get what you wish for. He knows that better than most.

Anyway. He’s having a great time (no, that’s not sarcasm, why would you even think that) providing a running commentary to other-Leo and getting absolutely zero response back, when – something changes. Leo has no idea exactly what, but there's something different about other-Leo. Maybe it’s the way he holds himself. Maybe it’s the expression on his face.

Or maybe it’s the way he almost seems like he's looking at Leo now, rather than through him.

“Huh,” says other-Leo. “Am I hallucinating?”

Leo blinks. Looks behind him, then back at other-Leo. Blinks again, and points to himself questioningly. Because – what else would other-Leo be talking about? There's no way he should be able to see Leo without the goggles, but also, there's literally nothing else in this room he could be referring to.

“Yes, you,” other-Leo says, and Leo's mouth drops open before he can stop it. “You definitely weren't here last time I was out.”

… What??

Leo has no idea what that means, but hey, more importantly – “You can see me?!”

He realizes a second too late that hearing might not be included in whatever fucked up package the multiverse has decided to give him this time, but other-Leo nods, so either he can in fact hear Leo or he's just really good at reading lips.

“Should I… not be able to?” he asks, seeming genuinely confused.

“Uh. No??” Leo feels like he might be panicking. Just a little. He – look, he wasn't expecting to be able to interact with people here! “What – you couldn't before, why can you now-?”

“How long have you been here?” other-Leo asks, completely ignoring Leo's question. Maybe he can't hear Leo after all. Or maybe he's just being rude.

“Like… a few hours,” Leo says anyway.

“Huh. Okay. I couldn't see you because you weren't here, then.”

And, sure, okay, that would make sense, except for the small fact that – “You couldn't see me five minutes ago, though!”

Other-Leo's eyes widen in realization. “Oh, right. I forgot not everybody knows about that. Yeah, that's because that wasn't me.”

And.

HUH????

Leo gestures wildly, absolutely baffled, and other-Leo snorts.

“I mean, I'm still a Leo. But this isn't my original body. I'm sharing it with this guy.” He raps his knuckles on his own forehead. “Not sure why I can see you when he couldn't, though. Oh – you can call me Sensei, if you want. Everyone else does.”

The word stirs up some – feelings in Leo, but he pushes them down. He doesn't know if this is. Well. That ‘Sensei’. Mr. Greatest Ninja That Ever Lived, Mr. Led An Entire Resistance Through The Apocalypse. And he could just ask, but. Well. Something in his gut twists at the thought, and he's not sure why.

… Okay, maybe it has a little to do with the fact that asking would confirm whether or not the invasion happened in this world too, and maybe he doesn't particularly want to think about that and everything that’s implied along with it. Or maybe it’s that despite the talk he had with Casey, he still kind of feels like he could never possibly measure up to future-handsome-amazing him. But, y’know. Who's to say?

“So why were you so surprised that I can see you, anyway?” other-Leo – Sensei – asks. “Can most people not?”

Leo tries to think of a way to word it politely, before remembering that this is (sort of? Technically?) another him, and he probably doesn't need to sugarcoat it.

“I mean. No? I kind of died. So. Surprise, ghosts are real, don't tell Mikey.” He grins awkwardly and does jazz hands.

Sensei's face drops for a second, but he quickly picks it back up with a slightly strained smile and does his own jazz hands. Well, hand. “Ah, hey, me too. Bet that's why I can see you. Ghost solidarity or something.”

Leo would just like to reiterate, once again:

HUH???????????

“But – but everyone else can see you and interact with you!” he says, gesturing at Sensei's everything. Does he have some secret knowledge Leo doesn't? And if so, can he please share? Or maybe it's something exclusive to this universe, in which case, rude – but that still doesn't explain why Sensei can see him and other-Leo(????) can't –

“No, I – okay, I explained this badly. This guy –” and he raps his knuckles on his forehead again. “Isn't dead. I am. It's how I ended up in his head.”

“Oohhh,” Leo says, like that makes literally any sense at all (spoiler alert: it doesn't). How does Sensei being dead equal being in other-Leo’s head? How come he didn’t end up a regular ghost like Leo? Or, y’know, a Hamato spirit?

“Who’re you talking to?” asks Sensei, dragging Leo out of his thoughts, and – what? He opens his mouth to say you, duh, but Sensei cuts him off again.

“Huh, you really can’t see him, then,” Sensei says, and Leo is about to be even more confused when he realizes – oh, right. Body sharing. The first bit must’ve been other-Leo, then, which means he still can’t see Leo even though Sensei’s there with him.

… God, Donnie would have a field day with this. Leo makes a mental note to tell him all of this when he gets back, because data collection. For now, though, he just watches Sensei-slash-other-Leo, who seem (seems?) to be zoning out now. He waits until their (his??) eyes focus again, looking at Leo – okay, still Sensei, then.

“Uh,” he says finally. “What was that about?”

“Talking with Leo,” Sensei says. “Er – my Leo, I mean. We should probably figure out a way to differentiate, actually, if you’re going to be sticking around.”

Leo shrugs. “No idea. I dunno what dropped me here or how long it’s gonna keep me here, so. Probably? I can take the L – heh, get it – since I’m the visitor here. Uh… I can be Leon, I guess?”

Sensei nods. “Works for me. Anyway, it seems like he can’t see you even when we’re both fronting. He actually thinks you’re, uh. Not real? But if I was gonna hallucinate someone, I don’t think you would be who my mind conjured up, so.”

… Okay! Leo – er, Leon – is just going to steamroll past the implications there and never think about them ever, actually. “Uh – yeah, yeah, makes sense. Can confirm I am 100% real, though not 100% tangible. Or. Y’know. Any percent tangible.”

……. Leon is also going to ignore the way his brain screams not real not real at him because Sensei is literally looking right at him and TALKING TO HIM holy shit can he NOT do this right now –

“Mhm, I figured,” Sensei says, voice softened, and god Leon really hopes Sensei didn’t catch his brief existential crisis because how embarrassing would that be? “Like I said, it’s probably some kind of ghost solidarity. That’s my guess, anyway.”

“Probably,” Leon agrees, pasting his grin back on. Though, if anyone would be able to see through it, it’d be another Leo, so it might be pointless anyway. But still. He has an image to maintain, okay?

“Sooooo,” Sensei says, and even if they aren’t the exact same person, Leon knows himself well enough to recognize the spark of mischief in his eyes. “Wanna take advantage of that fact to mess with him?”

Leon’s grin turns real, and he nods. “Oh, hell yes.”

Back with another post of my Wrong Home tmnt crossover AU! This time we've got how the 2012 brothers and Splinter react to Leon & what their relationship with him is like! Plus, another picture I drew the AU!

At first, the 2012 brothers are a little unsure on how to interact with this older/more experience, yet more “relaxed” version of Leo. After a while though, they do all end up warming up to him and, as said in my last post, see him as an older brother figure.

Leo appreciates and looks up to Leon. Since Leo has always been seen as the oldest, Leon acting as an older brother is, while extremely weird at first, a welcome change in the end. Having someone else aside from Master Splinter to go to for advice is also nice. Especially since Leon has gone through many similar situations and has been fighting crime for a few years now.

Raph took the longest to warm up to Leon, which Leon honestly respected. But once he did warm up to him, they became pretty close, with Raph also respecting Leon as a warrior. Leon also let him know early on that he won't laugh or make fun of him for feeling a certain way. This leads to Raph, like Leo, often going to Leon for advice, though he’s more likely to go for emotional advice. Leons no Dr. Feelings, but he does his best.

Donnie finds Leon odd at first. Both similar to Leo and yet completely different at the same time. Though he does appreciate having someone who will listen to his rants and is even able to contribute sometimes. Most nights, Leon can be found in Donnie's lab, either just chilling or trying to get Donnie to sleep.

Mikey is the first to completely trust Leon and is arguably the closest with him. Often than not, the two can be found together, joking and hanging out in some way. Mikey thinks Leon is super cool, with his mystic powers and his laid back personality. Mikey also appreciates how patient Leon is with him.

Once he's sure that Leon doesn't mean any harm, Master Splinter makes it clear to Leon that, despite him being from an alternate universe, he is still a Hamato, and thus still family. He appreciates Leon helping his sons out in ways he cant(or where he has failed). Splinter will sometimes even ask Leon to help out in training the others. Leon, even though he does help and is more than happy too, finds it hilarious considering how he rarely trained before.

I know requests are closed but I need to type this out before I forget it so by all means ignore it till requests are back open. Alright, so I was wondering if you could do headcanons or a small one shot of what would happen if the rottmnt Brothers were brought into the bayverse (wether by like don fucking around or the shedder). Just hijinks, basically having kids around and then bayverse s/o has a favourite rottmnt brother(platonic) and their turtle is jealous. Leo going father mode 😭 sorry this is alot, if it doesn't spark your interest thats completely fine, love the writing!!

Leonardo

The whole situation had shocked him cause he didn’t exactly think that other universes existed

Shakes his head a little when he saw how this version of him was

He was really different but I guess that’s the thing with different universes

When he saw you, his lovely lover started to favorite one of the rise boys?

Jealousy

He knows that you love him but he can’t help but get jealous at the attention you’re giving the other turtles

He keeps his calm tho and observes how you interact with the rise boys

To be fair, it’s almost adorable

He would listen as you excitedly tell him what you and a rise boy did

He’s glad you’re happy but he has to remind you to not get attached because they will most likely be heading home at some point

Raphael

He was baffled

The whole situation hurt his head

Wait pause…THIS is what he’s like in the other universe??

Okay that’s definitely different

He definitely needs some time to adjust but when he saw you immediately getting comfortable, he felt a bit of jealousy

He didn’t want to bring it up to you because he didn’t want to seem like he’s restricting you from doing what you want or talking to whoever you want

Observes from afar tho but if he sees any rise boy trying to flirt with you? A little threatening won’t hurt right?

The lair has been really chaotic since the rise boys arrived, it’s almost like having multiple Mikey’s

He’s when he found out that the rise version of him was the oldest and the leader?

He got so smug LMAO

Does have sit down talks with his other self and actually enjoys time with him lowkey

Now he gets why you like the rise boys

Donatello

He’s so fascinated by the whole situation, throwing so many questions at rise donnie about what happened and how it happened

He’s inspecting and running scans on all four of the boys to make sure there’s no threat or anything

This is phenomenal, an alternate universe exists!!

He talks with rise donnie a lot about inventions and just science in general

Doesn’t really have a problem with you getting along great with the rise boys

He doesn’t blame you, they’re different and so interesting

Will atleast get a little jealous when you give the rise boys more attention than him but he lets you be since the rise boys will have to go home eventually

Everything about these versions of himself and his brothers are crazy but that’s the cool thing about other universes

There’s always atleast a bit of change in each universe

He’s definitely looking into if there’s other universes with Rise donnie

P.s when he saw all the universes, he squealed like a little girl getting ice cream

Michelangelo

Excited as hell, there’s another him!!

Welcomed them with a bright smile and open arms, makes sure they feel at home even tho they’re kinda not

Asks his other self so many questions about their universe

Jokingly makes fun of Leo for not being the leader in the rise universe which earns him a smack on the head

Everything was all sunshine and rainbows until he saw how close you were with the rise boys, he felt a bit jealous cause only he gets cuddles and he’s d pats from his angel cakes :(

Brings it up to you and you apologize to him cause you didn’t think you made him feel jealous or less important, poor baby

You always reassure him that you’re just being kind and the rise boys are such fun to be around

You both happily play video games with the rise boys or listen to the boys elaborately tell stories of their missions and adventures

It’s so fascinating how different their universe is

Mikey and Raph low key wished their universe had cloaking brooches but oh well

He definitely got sad at the thought of the rise boys having to leave some day so for now he’ll make the most of them being around

More insanity from moi? More likely than you think lads. Anyways here's a little bit of a silly writing thingy. As usual the 12 boys go by their full names, the Rise boys go by their nicknames. And as before, vague mentions of other aus since I'm not too comfortable going into full details about them. As well as a pinch of angst. Anyways enjoy I guess-

Basketball.

If Donatello was told that the competition he and his brothers were entered in would have a basketball segment, he wouldn't have believed it. Yet here he was, sitting on the bleachers, watching the different versions of turtles compete. Somewhere close by in the corner of the large interdimensional gymnasium, Donatello's brothers and their counterparts were playing with their own basketball. Content to just stick to their corner. Donatello watched as Raphael got the ball from Michelangelo, the sounds of his little brother's dramatic gasps and whines of betrayal echoing slightly. Donnie was blocking Leo's attempts to help his partner Michelangelo, refusing to let the older twin pass. Leonardo was distracting Raph from also helping Michelangelo. The oldest Hamato moving surprisingly quick for someone who had a busted knee.

Sitting next to Donatello was Mikey. The box turtle was cheering for the others, enjoying the game between them. As Mikey's chipper tone crowed from next to him, Donatello began to take notice of the other turtles further in the gym. There was an adult Leonardo that was currently hanging away from the others, and a ghost version of himself that was sticking close to his group. There was what looked like a mutant version of Chompy, and a feral Leo that was watching the groups in a focused way. A small family of six was playing their own game, the sounds of their laughter and excited shouting echoing throughout the gym.

It was strange somewhat to Donatello. Seeing so many different turtles, so many different variations of him and his brothers all in one place. He should have been used to this kind of thing, given that he had meet two variations of himself within his lifetime. Yet it still seemed to blow his mind a bit, just how vast and complex the world was. That tiny moments or choices could change things in such a way that they were vastly different from one another. It was fascinating to the purple genius, to witness so many things that he at one time would have killed for to be in his current position. As he stared at all the turtles and their rat dads and human companions, he was startled by the sudden touch of a hand on his shoulder. Donatello nearly broke his neck with how fast he turned it, reddish brown eyes meeting curious light brown ones. Mikey was watching him, a small head tilt going on making him look like an adorable little frog of sorts.

"I've been trying to get your attention for a bit now, but I can see that your attention is preoccupied."

The fourteen year old teen commented, a small smile on his face. The eighteen year old teen in turn grew flustered, his face going a bit red.

"Ah you were?? Oh geez I'm sorry Mikey I just got lost a bit in my head is all. Did you need something?"

The older turtle asked stumbling slightly in his flustered state.

"I was just asking what you thought about all the different versions of us so far. They all seem pretty friendly!"

The younger turtle repeated what he had said before earning a thoughtful hum from Donatello.

"Honestly I find it all incredibly fascinating. This whole situation is one in a million, and we somehow managed to get to witness it. Donnie had mentioned that there was many different universes, dimensions and timelines but I didn't think it'd be this big."

The genius rambled, getting more expressive as he talked about everything that had caught his eye. The chipper teen listened to every word, the game he'd been currently watching somewhat forgotten as he listened to his fellow gap toothed friend talk. It was moments like these that Mikey personally enjoyed, seeing the ones he cared about talking about their passions. The way Donatello spoke reminded him a lot of Donnie, who when on a topic could go on for hours if allowed to. The duo were so in to their conversation that they both nearly jumped when Raph's voice called out to them from the ground.

"Dee, Michael! Lee and Donald are gonna take a break, so you two can come down and play now!"

The large snapper called out, his dark green eyes bright from the earlier fun. Leonardo with the help of Donnie had already sat down on the bleachers, the oldest turtle rubbing at his knee a bit while the younger one cracked his shoulders a bit. Donatello and Mikey quickly got up and went to join the others, and then the new game began. The shouts and cheers of the small group reaching the other groups who just side eyed them in amusement while some watched with slight pain at seeing the full set of eight together. All in all the gymnasium continued on with its festivities, the atmosphere bright and warm all around.

*Aka ma can you believe that a tmnt poll broke my writer's block what kind of witchcraft????? Anyways I tried to keep the aus mentioned here somewhat vague, yet y'all can probably guess as to who they are lol. I've been seeing the whole basketball thing going on and lowkey kinda wanted to join in but eh I'm also really awkward and shy. So I've just been kinda conflicted on how I could include my au into this cool concept without coming off as annoying and obnoxious shshshdhdhf. Ah anyways! I guess this is somewhat propaganda for Universal Collision, and if y'all are wondering what I'm going on about just go to @tmntaucompetition and you'll get what I'm babbling about lol. Anyways hope y'all enjoyed this and thanks for reading!!*

@ilovebeingaturtle @tmnt-crossover-polls @iamheretemporarly

Poll shenanigans with For Future Reference '12 Mikey and Team 2 of A Mixed Bag! Featuring minor cameo of the Sunset Linings crew!

Donnie finally admitted to himself that this was useless. They’d been all over the theater, and no sign of any other mixed-up group of turtles like them.

“Figures,” he grumbled bitterly, shoulders slumping. “We get a solid lead from that… space cat knight lady and it doesn’t pan out.”

“We’ll find them again,” Michelangelo said determinedly. “Maybe not here, but we will. Eventually.”

Wordlessly-- thank goodness-- the Leo draped his arm over the little guy’s shoulders.

Uselessly optimistic. For a second, Donnie wanted to snap at him. But, he was just trying to help. And he could hear an echo of his own Mikey in the words. So he simply nodded. “Yeah. Sure. Eventually.”

The peace is broken by a passionate shriek.

“HOLY CHALUPA-DEE?!”

Donnie’s head snapped up and around. Where was-- there! Staring at him was an extremely familiar face. “MIKEY!?” he shrieked back.

Not even a second after he yells, Mikey barrels him over with a hug more akin to a football tackle.

“DUDE I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S YOU! THERE WERE ALL THESE OTHER TURTLES, AND I COULDN’T EVEN PROCESS WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT IT’S-IT’S-“

“It’s you!” Donnie laughed-- cried-- some mix of the two, wrapping his arms around his brother. “Oh thank pizza supreme in the sky I found you.”

Mikey sniffles, enthusiasm crashing the second he has the case to hide his face into Dee’s neck, “I-we’ve been falling apart man, I can’t-I was trying to hold us together but no one was listening to me, and we-I-“

The rest of his voice cuts offs, and he squeezes Donnie tighter, “I missed you…”

“Me too,” Donnie said quietly, returning the squeeze.

He could have stayed like that for a while, but the other Michelangelo he was currently stuck with decided to interrupt by crouching down and tapping Mikey’s shoulder. “Hey, sorry to interrupt the moment-- and good to see you again, other me, but, you wouldn’t happen to know where any of the guys from my universe are?”

Mikey blinks.

“Say what.”

Huh. So, were Donnie and the others the only ones that had been turtle-napped then?

“Hey, can we see your sticker real quick?” Leo asked, and without waiting for an answer picked Mikey up.

“Hey!” Donnie snapped, scrambling to his feet. He grabbed Mikey’s arm and jerked it, pulling his brother away from Leo. “That’s my brother!”

Mikey, meanwhile, gawks at Leo, “Dude…are you another version of Leo?!”

Attention entirely redirected, he turns back to Michelangelo and enthusiastically points, “So you must be another version of me! Dee, you didn’t tell me you’ve been making friends!”

“...Not sure I’d put it that way,” Donnie grumbled. “But yeah this is a version of Leo, Raph, and-- you,” he said, gesturing at each in turn.

“Okay but are you sure this is actually your brother--” Leo started to say.

Mikey waves eagerly at the other versions-pausing to stare at Raph-before jabbing a finger at Donnie’s chest, “Heyyyyy-so you’re not trying to replace us then, are you?”

“Wh-- what?!” Donnie sputtered. “No!! This whole incident has been extremely stressful and--” his voice cracked for a second, “and I haven’t even had you guys around.”

Mikey’s frown drops into a more serious form of upset, “Aw, Dee…”

“But you’re here now!” Donnie said grinning and throwing his arms out. “Where’s everybody else?!” he asked, looking around. “Did April and Casey make it too?”

“Nah dude, she’s out looking for you!” Mikey beams, “But I found you! Not a moment too soon too, Leo was starting to flip his lid! What with you vanishing, and then Raph being captured by the Krang on top of it, and-“

“KRAANG?!” Donnie-- and Leo-- shouted at the same time.

“The Kraang are involved?!” Donnie continued. “Okay the evil versions of us were one thing but--”

Mikey sounds dazed as Donnie rambles, “I am so lost right now…”

Donnie’s mind kept whirling with possibilities. “Then again it is our evil counterparts-- could they be working with the Kraang?” he said, beginning to pace. “It might explain the level of technology we’re seeing in our prison.”

“Or that’s not actually your brother?” Leo said. “Look, his sticker says--”

Raph shook him. Just a little bit, but enough the threat was there. “That’s enough outta you,” he snapped.

“Evil counterparts?! There can be evil counterparts?!” Mikey grabs the side of his head, “But then that could be any of us! There’s so many here! It could be you, or you, or-oh my god it could be me! Have I been the villain this whole time?!”

“HEY!” Michelangelo yelled glaring up at Raph. “Leave him alone!” He grabbed at Leo’s arm, pulling. Raph let go, and Michelangelo shoved himself between the two. “You and Donatello need to chill out and leave Leonardo alone! He’s on our side!”

“And the Kraang are able to travel to other dimensions,” Donnie continued to ramble. “They’d have a vested interest in finding out what we’re capable of. Maybe our evil counterparts made a deal to help in exchange for their dimension being left alone?”

“I always knew I couldn’t trust myself!” Mikey flails his arms at seemingly no one, “I’ve got like an evil double! I knew it! One time, I got something to eat-and I blinked?! And someone else had already eaten it!! Or, wait. No. Yeah that was still me-“

“Leave it, Michelangelo,” Raph said, warning heavy in his tone.

“No way, dude!” Michelangelo yelled. “You’ve had it out for Leonardo since the beginning, and I’m getting sick of--”

A loud whistle cut through the air. Donnie’s head snapped around to the source-- Leo.

“-BUT ANOTHER TIME, I LOOKED INTO A MIRROR? AND I SWEAR THE OTHER MIKEY IN IT LOOKED RIGHT BACK AT ME MAN-“

“Mikey,” Leo grabbed ahold of his shoulders, staring right into his eyes. “You’re not the evil counterpart.”

Mikey blinks again.

“Oh, okay!”

Leo grinned, rubbing Mikey’s head and then turning, arm now draped over Mikey’s shoulders. “Hey, Shrieky-D--”

“I do not shriek--!”

Mikey wraps his other arm around Leo, now also grinning, “You kinda do Dee.”

“Mikey--!”

“Anyway!” Leo interrupts loudly. “Have you noticed his sticker,” he said, patting Mikey’s plastron, right over the sticker.

Donnie glanced at it and felt the anger fizzle and fade. The sticker on Leo’s chest said “Mixed Bag”. The sticker on Mikey’s… didn’t.

“Oh snap, we got free accessories?” Mikey promptly begins straining his neck to see his own sticker, “Sweeeeet!”

“There could be other reasons for that,” Donnie said. “We were in different dimensions before we came here-- the stickers could reflect that.”

Leo shot him a look and then turned back to Mikey. “Hey, Miguel, you ever meet alternates of you and your bros before?”

Mikey tilts his head, with a distinct lack of recognition for the concept in his eyes, “Uh, only in my dreams dude! I have this good one, right- where me and all the other Mikeys of the multiverse team up together to create the greatest superhero team ever! I’m the leader, obviously, and-“

Donnie’s stomach sank. His Mikey had been too excited by meeting Michelangelo and his brothers to forget. His Mikey would have gone off on an excited ramble about their team-ups with that crew.

“Mikey,” he interrupted. “I. I don’t think-- I don’t think I am your brother.”

Something akin to terror flashes in the other Mikey’s eyes, before he goes right back to beaming.

“Aw c’mon man, who else could you be? You look just like him!”

Donnie silently gestured behind them. A group of five were walking by. Four looked just like Donnie and Mikey and their brothers-- the fifth a much older turtle that Donnie didn’t recognize. A Slash, maybe?

“We’re not the only ones that look like… us around here, Mikey.”

Mikey’s grins gets wider from the force of upholding it, and his voice picks up, “No-no-it, it’s gotta be you dude! We can’t-we need you back home, you disappeared! We-we don’t know where you are, and-we’re all fighting worse than ever and-and we were going to search with Master Splinter but now we’re-he-it just-it has to be you!”

Master Splinter. Donnie’s heart clenched. He must still be alive in Mikey’s dimension. This really wasn’t his Mikey.

“Oh hey it’s okay, it’s okay,,” Leo said, pulling Mikey around to face him. “Breathe, Mikey.”

Mikey squeezes his eyes shut and clenches his fists in response, breathing practically rattling his whole body, “It’s not-fair, it’s gotta be-it-I-“

“Oh hey whoa, dude,” Michelangelo said, patting Mikey on the shell. “I’m sure your Donatello is just fine! We all got kidnapped by evil alternate versions of us and stuck with these shock bands that are like, mondo painful, and could also kill us so that’s a major bummer. But I’m sure yours isn’t in nearly as bad of a situation!”

“…WHAAAAT?!?!”

“What the shell are you guys doing?!” Raph said. He huffed and shouldered by Donnie, pulling Mikey away from Leo and crouching to be more at his level. “Hey. Breathe with me,” he said, and pulled in a long, slow breath in.

Mikey looks anguished, but he forces in a harsh shuddering breath at the larger turtle's request. Slowly, Raph keeps helping him until it’s no longer a struggle to keep his breathing steady.

“You all right?” Raph asked quietly, with a surprising amount of gentleness.

Mikey sniffles, and glares at the ground, but his hoarse voice is finally steady, “yeah…”

“Good,” Raph said, getting up and patting Mikey on the shoulder.

“Soooooo,” Leo drawled. That tone meant nothing good was about to come out of his mouth. “Remember when I suggested that maybe you guys weren’t brothers, and you shook me,” he said, crossing his arms and glaring at Raph.

“Oh my god, dude,” Mikey’s voice is simultaneously brittle and biting, “shut up.”

Something very hurt flashes in Leo’s eyes as his jaw clicks shut.

“But hey!” Donnie said, “You could keep hanging out with us till you find your brothers? If you want?”

Mikey barely responds, seemingly now lost in his own thoughts. His mood seems drastically soured, “Yeah. Sure. Whatever…”

So, Donnie needed to give him something to get out of his head. “Have you seen the costume area yet?” he asked. “We only poked our heads in for a second but you might be able to whip up something like Turflytle--”

It’s like a switch gets flicked, and Mikey’s eyes fill up with sparkles.

“You mean like…maybe even for…all, of us?”

Donnie’s stomach dropped. He started to deny it but--

“Yeah!” Leo interrupted with a smirk. “Especially Donnie, right?”

…Donnie was going to kill him.

❄️ and ☔ (if you want to share any!!) for the ask game!!!!!

AHHH THANK YOU FOR SEND THIS!!! ^^

❄️Share a snippet from a WIP of your choosing. ohhhhh, im having a hard time choosing which wip i should choose from...as much as i would love to have a part of my tmnt fic, nothing much is happening in it yet </3 (im like a few paragraphs away from the Shit Hitting the Fan part lolol but oh well) so! instead, i shall do a snippet of a ghostbusters fic i have, featuring a (ghost) oc, a fic which i may or may not finish, not sure yet (probably the latter sadly) but i am still quite happy with this part! so here <33

Jack couldn’t breathe. “Too fucking dark, I can’t-” You can, please, go over there, let me see him, let me- “Can’t fucking do this–shit, Venkman, please wake up, don’t leave me in here alone. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry-” Calm down; breath, slowly, in your nose and out the mouth. Come on, I know you can do it- He squeezed his eyes shut and, for once in his life, listened to his thoughts. “I’m sorry,” he whispered out once more. [...] The reality of it all, after saying it aloud, came crashing down around him again, and the walls suffocated him and the dark consumed him. “Fuck, I killed you, didn’t I? I killed you and you’re gonna rot in this basement like me-” NO. No, he’s not dead, please move, please let me back in control- Jack opened his eyes again. It wasn’t as dark now, as his eyes adjusted to the new set darkness. But the room was still suffocating, still the same as the day he died, still haunting and horrible and distressing. [...] His eyes fell onto Peter’s unmoving body. He quickly looked away before squeezing his eyes shut once more. “Listen Venkman, I promise you, if you wake up right now I’ll go into that box of yours, no complaints. And I’ll go happily into where ever the fuck you store your ghosts, no matter how cramped it is, as long as you wake up right now and be fine. Please.”

(in which a ghost, possessing ray, may or may not have possibly and accidentally peter and is panicking about it) (peter isnt dead dont worry but oh boy jack does freak the fuck out for a bit over it <3)

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it? ngl i feel like i could share so many ideas here, it's so hard to tell if i would ever get around to finishing my wips and ideas...

i have many tmnt ideas i wanna write! four to be specific, a fic centered on each turtle, all multi-chapter fics, which sadly lowers the chance of me ever finishing them ^^;;;; the first one (which i'm close to finishing the first chapter of!!) is where Donnie makes contact with an alternate version of himself! the two donnie switch places (which normal donnie did not agree to this, he was kinda sorta drugged, knocked out, and woke up in the other universe), and is forced to try his way back home while also pretending to be someone he isn't so others in this new world won't be suspicious of him. while i love this idea, im very unsure abt posting this one;;;

my other tmnt fics include: raph being kidnapped and being thrown into an illegal underground mutant fighting ring (underground nexus my beloved); mikey being sent into the spiritual plain without his consent and his chilling as basically a ghost while his brothers scramble to try and bring him back; and then one where leo is stuck in a time loop, because i HAVE to do a time loop for like every fandom im in lmao <3 these three im less confident i'll get around to writing, but i really hope i do!!! (i also have a transfem leo fic i wanna write, a oneshot, but im really hoping that i'll at least finish that one)

moving onto my other wips, i have quite a few for ghostbusters! im not really sure if i'll get to finishing any of them though--i really hope i do, but gb for me is something i easily get in and out of the mood to write for one of the fics i wanna write, but very much doubt i'll finish, is the one i quote above. ray and peter go deal with a ghost haunting, until it then possesses ray. story stuff happens (revealed that ghost was murdered, egon and winston get held at gun point, all very fun stuff <3), and its a bit of a long oneshot! since it involves an oc, im not too sure if i'll finish it i have another ghostbusters fic that features an oc, two in fact, and is multi-chapter. this still goes into the category of where im not too sure if i'll finish it, BUT it does feature vampires!! and also peter may or may not also be vampiric as well!!! and damn have i fell in love with that concept!! I also have a short lil' soulmate au i wanted to write that's kinda cute <3 and finally (a fic which i'm most likely to finish, or at least for the first chapter for lol), i originally wanted to write a cute oneshot about Elon and Egon and their relationship (when i first learned abt elon i just absolutely fell in love lmao), but now it has turned into a multi-chap story about Elon, his work, the ghost that sorta haunts him bc of said work, his differences from Egon, twin telepathy, and finally of course his relationship with the Ghostbusters in general (he deserves to be a little antagonistic, me thinks. as a treat <3) i am so excited to hopefully finish and post it, i so badly wanna explore their relationship <333

okay im done now!!! i couldve gone on but this is way too long to begin with so! thank you so much for this ask ily <33333

#also sorry this took soooo long for me to answer!! i wasnt ignoring this i swear lol;;;#thanks for the ask!#ghostbusters #again i REALLY wanted to include a part of my tmnt donnie fic but alas...so upset i didnt get to a good part that i could share..oh well </#bunni mumbles #again thank you for sending this!!! <3333333333 #ughghgh i feel so bad for like. dumping all of this onto one ask. i am sorry and do not blame you at all if you dont read all of it lmao #sorry no fe3h fics </3 maybe one day i'll get back to it.....#jack boyer oc

For Donnie requests, if it tickles your fancy:

How about another one set in the tactical universe? (I so enjoyed the one you wrote for Leo when I asked last time)

Maybe a similar format to the last one but, say. Four times reader/OC (who is an art thief or whatever you like) outwits/outlucks/outruns/plain-old-tricks Don and one time he catches her?

But plot twist it was a game all along so it turns sweet or spicy (however you like, I'm down for and/or both)

(Eyyy, a returning customer! We like thay here! You said OC and activated my trap card tho lol)

Bayverse!Donnie and Kara in Tactical AU! (I am almost sure you guys are sick and tired of this ship lmao sorry xD

This one is getting a strong T!

Tactical AU belongs to @donathan

Here are my headcanons for my own spin to it if anyone is interested! And here is a link to Leo's version. Can't wait for someone to request Raph.

@madammuffins @turtle-babe83 @thelaundrybitch @sharpwindow @dilucsflame33 @pheradream15

(if anyone wants in on this list let me know!)

I. This case took him and his brothers all around the world. But it all began in New York after their handler gave them the order.

The Met event was fitting perfectly the M.O. of the thief. Donnie has been preparing himself for this. He studied extensively the previous crime scenes and had to admire the cleverness of it all.

He instructed the ground team on what to look for and how to behave. He himself kept his distance, for obvious reasons. They were going to monitor the event around the clock. The human team during the day, and the turtle brothers at night.

While the guests milled about the museum, Donnie was watching the feed from the cameras closely. This was the second day of surveillance. His sensors weren't picking up any suspicious activities either. Of course, he didn't expect the thief to be bold enough to do something during the day - this didn't fit the profile he built but all good thieves usually tried to scout their targets beforehand.

Donnie sighed and licked his lips. He switched to the computer database of all the security and staff that were currently at the museum. No one in particular stood out. Maybe he was wrong about it being the Met?

Once the gates to the museum closed it was turtle time.

The brothers took over from the day shift. As far as the security knew, they were just some special task force. The ski masks hid their faces and various leather straps disguised the shells as weird backpacks.

"This is so boring," Mikey whined over the comms. "You sure I can't liven up the place a little?"

"If you'd even think of setting off anything-!" Leo's warning resonated sharply in their ears.

The youngest snickered. "Chillax, bro, I was joking."

"Like you did in Budapest?" Raph snorted.

"That was an accident!"

"Let's make sure no more accidents happen," Leo warned him. "Especially not in the Met."

Donnie smiled listening to his brothers' banter as he patrolled the corridor he thought had the highest chance of being hit by the thief.

He listened keenly to any sound that would come his way. The empty corridors would echo them back to him. Unfortunately, it was all silent. Just the sound of his own breath coming back to him and the soft sound of his feet. The brothers were unnaturally quiet for their large size. When they wanted. Mikey usually could be heard three blocks away.

Donnie adjusted his night vision goggles as he entered a new area. He added his own security measures on top of the ones the museum had. There was no way the guy could escape them.

Suddenly one of his sensors tripped. The silent alarm got activated in one room. Donnie turned on his heel and ran.

"We have a hit!" He told the others and directed them to the correct location.

He got there first. Visor focused, looking for anything out of place. Nothing.

"What the-"

Suddenly, another alarm tripped. And another. And another. His whole grid lit up in red and he cursed. That fucker!!

"Donnie, what the hell is going on?!" Leo shouted over the comm.

"He is using my system as a smoke screen!" Donnie shouted back and cursed. He shut it down and popped the standard Met security.

Did he really figure out the system in one day? What the fuck was going on.

"He's in the Maya exhibit!"

"Raph!"

"On it, Fearless."

Motherfucker, Donnie cursed at himself and sprinted. He brought up the schematics of the room on his holoscreen.

"I have the visual!" Raph announced on the comms, which was immediately followed by a string of curses. "Stay still you slippery bastard!" And then. "I lost him but he is heading to the roof!"

Donnie smiled. Predictable.

"I'm on it!"

But then he came to a screeching halt. The fucker was heading to the main door! What?! Ballsy motherfucker.

Donnie jumped down the stairs.

"Freeze!" He got out his gun and fired a warning shot.

The thief didn't stop. Just kept running straight. Donnie followed. Then froze. The figure just passed through the glass door and the terrapin realized he was following a hologram.

"Please tell me one of you got him?" He asked his brothers, breathing heavily, feeling frustration building up.

"I saw him in the Danish exhibit but then he proofed!" Mikey responded.

"I thought I got him by the African exhibit," Leo said, his tone clearly indicating a similar failure.

Donnie cursed.

"You'll get him next time," Leo tried to comfort him.

"Yeah, thanks," he responded. The words were bitter in his mouth.

II. Weeks of intense research and work later the turtles were in Italy. Donnie once again figured out the thief would be there.

All the feed from the Met was tampered with and Donnie worked for hours to fix it. To just get three frames. Thankfully, he had seen the hologram. Raph also had a description, though not very helpful. "Short like a fucking kid and slippery like a weasel," he said. That much Donnie knew.

He managed to estimate the thief's height to be 150cm (about 4'10"). If they were dealing with a rowdy teen the turtle genius was going to be super pissed and impressed.

Right now he was riding on a huge adrenaline rush as he watched the thief through his scope. The guy was running away from Leo, who took the chase.

"I got you," Donnie muttered to himself. He aimed the shot. He wasn't going to kill the thief. Just incapacitate him with some tranquilizers.

It was the end of the road for their target either way. The line of houses ended and only a large plaza awaited. No escape.

The thief faced Leo. Then turned his head and looked straight at Donnie. The mask came off. Green skin - like the yellowing grass in autumn, face and bald, larger than average head dusted with freckle-like spots of various shades of brown, green and yellow. Pointed, pierced ears. The eyes, big, yellow, playful.

The thief winked and… just disappeared.

"Dude!" Mikey's voice activated the Comms. "The thief an alien!"

"Donnie, you okay?" Leo spoke up.

"You missed, nerd," Raph snickered. "So much for Mr. I-Never-Miss," he put on his Batman's voice.

"Shut up Raph," Donnie shot back. He was thinking intensely. She-, he was certain the thief was a she, looked straight at him. She knew his position. She led them to that corner of the street. This was all a game for her! "I need all your guys' phones!"

"Why?" Mikey whined. "I didn't do anything!"

Turns out Mikey did do something. A couple of days before he clicked some link on a website from his phone and that got the thief an entrance into their systems. That pissed off everyone and earned Mikey some extra training and cleaning time as well as a lecture on Internet safety.

What was concerning was that their criminal most likely got into their Top Secret files if she knew how to get to Mikey…. She knew who they were. Meanwhile, they knew nothing of her.

III. Next stop was Egypt. A short jump from Italy. They were going to monitor the Museum of Cairo. Why? Because right before he cleared all their electronics one message went through. “Up for another Caaper?”

When he checked the source it went dead. A burner phone. Now he had a dilemma. Either ignore it or follow… On one hand, it could have easily been a typo. On the other… In Cario there was a wooden statue of Ka-aper from the 5th Dynasty.

He chose to follow and that’s how they ended up there. Was she really going to steal the statue that was about a foot shorter than her? He thought back to the image of her in his mind. Who was he kidding, she absolutely would.

So they were staking out the museum. “Third time the charm, eh, Donnie?” Raph teased.

“Do you guys think she has like a spaceship? With lasers?” Mikey enthused over her. He wouldn’t shut up about the alien bit since Italy.

“You can ask her when we catch her,” Leo told him in a very tired voice.

Donnie didn’t join in on the conversation. He was in the room with the statue. Monitoring the screen, flipping through the feed from the cameras and paying attention to every single alarm there was. He didn’t want to miss any suspicious flicks or changes.

“Donnie, you alright over there?” Leo called to him, snapping him out of his focus.

“Yeah, yeah I’m here,” he responded.

“Anything moving?”

“Not yet…”

Why did she want to steal that particular statue?

Time ticked by… Suddenly he felt someone watching him. He turned around. Yellow eyes, right over his shoulder. He reacted immediately by throwing a punch at her. She was hanging by a rope from the ceiling. Pulling away, avoiding his fist by a hair. She flipped around. He pulled his gun and aimed at the rope. She kicked his hands and vaulted off the wall. He kicked at her legs and she fell on her back with an audible ‘oof’. He tried to grab her but she folded and jumped up to her feet. Punch, evade, retaliate. They danced across the floor.

He had to adapt himself to her small height, throwing him off a little. She had no problem with his.

Suddenly she reached for her belt and threw something at him. He ducked. She jumped again, using his knee as a boost and jumped over his back. He spun around. A puff of smoke in his face and his world went dark.

He didn’t know how long he was out. Mustn't have been long because she was still in the room, finishing up securing the statue to some ropes to pull it up. He groaned and got up.

“Stop,” he said, his voice hoarse. He reached to his thigh and pulled his second gun. Despite the headache his aim was steady.

She turned to him. Smiled. And pressed something on her forearm. A force yoinked him backward. Slamming him against the wall. He gritted his teeth. Magnets? When?, he thought angrily as he watched her ride up on the same rope she came down with.

She winked at him and blew him a kiss. 3-0.

IV. Donnie admitted that he may be a bit obsessed. The woman infuriated him and kind of… He dared not to go where his thoughts wanted.

His memory took him back to Italy and Egypt. Her bright yellow eyes, sparkling with mischief and excitement enthralled him. That confident smirk. He wanted to wipe it off of her face! He wasn’t sure how yet.

She tricked him three times! Them! She tricked them three times! Maybe the fourth time was the charm….

He knew his brothers were making some bets behind his back but he didn’t care.

They were in Tokyo, Japan, this time. She left him another clue in his pants while he was passed out.

His brothers were on the ground, while he stayed behind. Their eagle eyes. She wouldn’t slip past him again!

“I don’t think she’s gonna show up this time bro,” Mikey said. “You almost got her before, you think she’ll show up?”

“Thieves sometimes stop when they get scared but I doubt we scared her enough,” Leo sighed.

Donnie’s phone vibrated. He’d usually ignore it during the mission but this time… He quickly glanced at the screen.

After that one text she sent him before Egypt… Leo would probably yell at him so hard if he knew… But Donnie didn’t fully shut down one channel. He made it possible that if she wanted to contact him he’d be open for it.

And lo’ and behold. There was a text.

Unknown number: こんにちは！(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I left you something at this location~! Take it as a reward for almost catching me 4 times now! And thank you for missing in Florence ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎

Donnie jumped up to his feet and cursed.

“What’s up Donnie?” Leo checked in on him.

“I’ll be right back, this is important!” He tried to ease off the incoming protest, but also just in case he turned off his comm.

The attached location led him to a posh bar, just around the corner from the art gallery. He made sure his ski mask was on as he entered the establishment. Of course, all the eyes turned to him. Meanwhile, he only looked for one set of eyes. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen.

“Excuse me,” he asked the bartender in Japanese, “something was supposed to be left here for me?”

The man eyed him, a bit fearfully but nodded. “What drink would you like, sir?”

“I’m just here to pick the item up.” Donnie tried to explain.

“The item is a drink and a letter for you after you get your drink.” The bartender insisted.

Donnie sighed. “Something fruity with rum then.” Why the hell not. Fuck it, they failed again. He might as well drink off the thieves tab. He waited for the drink to arrive before he lifted the mask up a little just enough for him to be able to drink. He took a sip. Damn it was good. He snorted and shook his head. This whole thing was so ridiculous.

As he was in the middle of his order the bartender slipped him a cream coloured envelope with a red lacquer stamp on it. Classy.

He broke the seal and opened the envelope. He read the letter.

Donnie smiled and shook his head. "God damn it."

He turned on his comm, which earned him an earful from both Leo and Raph.

"Guys, she's going to be in New York next," he told them.

"How do you know?"

"She told me," he said, draining the rest of his glass.

V. Was he annoyed that she was stringing him along so much? Probably. Was he excited to finally snap some handcuffs around her wrists? So, so much.

It wasn’t easy to find her. The riddle this time was a bit more complex than the one for Egypt and Japan. Then there was the matter of actually finding her in the urban jungle that was New York.

But when he did… He didn’t tell his brothers. It was his little secret. He didn’t want anyone following him there. He slipped from the compound when everyone else was asleep. The coordinates led him to a red brick building with an industrial elevator.

Thermal scanner told him where she was. He took the stairs as the safer option and climbed. Quietly, like a ghost he entered the large open-space. The wooden floor creaked under his steps and a loud bird attacked him. The creature wasn’t from Earth. It neither cawed nor barked. The noise was offending to his ears nevertheless.

Then a whistle. He saw her standing a couple feet away from him. She extended her arm and the bird perched on it. It had a muzzle and sharp teeth like a dog. scales mixed with feathers and claw tipped wings, almost like a bat. The legs were birdlike all-right. A long tail wrapped around the thieves arm securing it in the spot.

<Hello,> she signed. <I see you finally found me> She smirked.

<Thanks for the hint,> he signed back.

<You welcome.> She stroked the bird’s head and it purred. With a flick of her elbow it flew into the air again and sat somewhere among the pipes.

<So, how do you want to do this?> She asked. <I got some weapons for you to choose from.>

<I brought my own.> He reached to his belt and pulled out his collapsible bō staff.

She regarded him with an appreciative nod. Then she walked up to the wall. She pressed on a brick and a panel dropped down revealing a collection of staffs, spears and other weapons. She picked two thich sticks.

<Escrima?> He asked and she grinned. He got it.

They charged at each other. Blow after blow, the weapons clashed. She was nimble and fast, using her environment to her advantage. He, with the experience from Egypt, handled her better. No more blows that went over her head. She had to block him, make an effort to evade.

He hoped whatever they broke during the fight wasn’t something priceless.

Finally, he had her against the wall. Adrenaline buzzing in his ears. He hasn't won yet though. He knew it. Her golden eyes bore into his. Suddenly, both dropped their weapons and their mouths clashed.

The morning came, brutally invading Donnie’s eyes. He groaned and stirred trying to avoid it. When he couldn’t quite move his arm he looked up. One of his hands was handcuffed to the headboard and he smirked remembering that particular move.

He looked around. Karaa was sitting on the bed, eating a breakfast roll and smiling at him. She reached out and released his arm, which got a bit stiff.

<You’ll need to get dressed, your brothers and major Douche will be here soon,> she signed, smiling her usual impish smile. <Have some breakfast.>

<So, I passed?> He grinned.

<You will get points deducted for teamwork probably but…> she leaned down to kiss him. <I will give you some bonuses for performance.> She wiggles her eyebrows with her best bedroom eyes.

He got lost in their kiss but pulled back when a thought occurred to him.

They started communicating after Florence. They didn't know at first who they'd be going in the against exercise. It was all part of it. Karaa though she found out things. And also being trapped by the US military she didn't see any objections in helping the boys out.

<Oh, yeah. They will not know what hit them.>

____________________________________________________

Bonus content!

*Text in Japanese above reads: "hello"

So I decided to do this one with the OG version of Kara.

Karaa (how the og spelling is, ye I know super original lol) was first created in 2014 as my Megamind OC. In the fandom we already had whole lot of Blue guys running around and... one Red, that came from desert part of the Meg's planet. I went like, so let's complete the traffic lights set and I made Karaa + the whole lore etc for jungle dwelling aliens of Megamind's planet.

This is how she'd look like. (art by Scarlette and Koda, I'm not sure of Scarlette's current handle it's been a while since 2014 XD)The earrings serve purpose also as disguise generators/cloaking devices.

Here's link to how Pi'ehra, her bird looks like.

I'll probably draw her tactical AU look soon!

I almost forgot to bother you today :0

Hypothetically, totally in theory in every way, in pure speculation—

How would either of your AU’s react to, perhaps, another version of themselves?

(This can be applied to the OG’s or any other AU thought of :) )

Yippeeee my daily bothering uwu

I immediately had this idea because ofc:

So yeah (i'm gonna answer this question by going all over the place, bear with me)

canon rise Donnie and my auau Donnie would literally study each other under a microscope and listen to each other's infodumps. Aus! Leo would make fun of Rise Leo (and the others but not as much) for being American. They would absolutely hate each other sm. Aus! Raph would be intimidated by Rise Raph because he's much bigger, (Raph is still the biggest in his own universe, but he's not as big as rise Raph)

And uh, you know that gag where one character pretends to be a mirror?? (they did it in a my little pony episode where Spike first meets Thorax) yeah the mikeys would do that. (even though they look slightly different)

also this question made me think of a reason for Splinter to be in Australia which is that Big Mama took him there because that's where her battle nexus is now. because I said so.

I woulda drawn your 'vengeance is yours' au teetles with my magic bois but you haven't designed them yet have you? 😭 But!! I'm thinking abt making Shredder a evil centuries old dragon in the au so I can imagine then talking to their counterparts like "what do you mean shredder is just a guy in your universe??" or something along those lines anyway.

and yeah idk I need to do more work on my aus lol

Oops dropped more Cassandra hcs

Casey has calmed down significantly with the Hamato’s. It’s due to many things, but most notably Draxum teaching her meditation and training with Raph.

Don’t get me wrong, she’s still very… passionate, but she just has more outlets

Speaking of Raph, they’re best friends.

Like I said, they train together. Raph prefers to train with Casey because she can take what he gives her and gives it right back.

They like to vent to each other too, or just talk about life and their stress.

They also patrol the streets of NYC, just the two of them. After they’re done, they go out for pizza.

Casey’s favourite pizza is the classic pepperoni.

She plays for the school’s hockey team as their goalie. She’s really good at it too.

She’s not that good in school tho. She finds it hard to sit still and listen all day. She relies on April and Donnie to help her study for stuff.

Her and April really wanted to get into the same school after high school (Sunita moved back to the hidden city because university is free there lol. They still hang out a lot tho)

They both got a scholarship, April for her journalism and Casey got an athletic scholarship.

April got her acceptance letter first and Casey was shitting bricks thinking she got rejected. She didn’t

She’s going to school for general education, but she doesn’t know what age she wants to work with yet.

She absolutely adores Casey Jr.

They don’t consider each other as mother and son so much, but Cass is very protective of him.

When she first learns about him, she’s super confused, and that’s how she comes out as a lesbian. And Casey Jr is just like “ya I know, I’m adopted lol”

The only time they really bring it up it’s to use it against each other.

“CASEY JONES JR IF YOU EAT THAT LAST SLICE YOU ARE GROUNDED!!”

“Oh, so you’re really going to let your own son starve to death? Despicable.”

The others try to keep the fact that the foot clan is the one who brought the kraang and that there were no survivors, but she does eventually find out.

She goes through a lot of emotions, some positive, but mostly negative. Ashamed of the fact that she could’ve helped bring the end of the world. Fear that she could’ve been there and kraangified. Grief for the people that she once considered family.

At one point, they find the Kraangified versions of her past senseis. They try to get through to them, but it wasn’t possible.

They send them off with a signed copy of Punch Chowder.

Splinter hates their guts for what they did to his family, to Casey. But he signs the copy because he knows that it’ll make Casey feel better.

Casey is really torn because she knows they weren’t good people, they weren’t good to her. But they took her in when no one else would. And really, they gave her the best family she could ever ask for.

Got really angsty at the end, but she has a family that actually cares for her and will look after her. God I love her so much.

Again, I do have more. I want to dive into her relationships with the turtles and splinter, but this is already long enough.

Actually typing on my computer for once so I'm able to use the read more lol. I need you guys to tell me if you want this in

BBC - The Fic

which would either be as its own chapter or Casey reading it. Theres also the option of it becoming a short little companion story/fic, and im also considering writing a final battle deal but I'm not sure I want both in BBC. Here's the first part of it, I cant really write more until the actual fic is written unless I got more technical on the How Do We Solve This Problem line of convo.

Reminder that this is a group chat on all of 2012's phones, that's why their names are there. Debating on whether or not to change that. The first section is copy and pasted from the section that was in Chp 2. I tried to space it out like actual texting, but tumblr was fighting me so thats why there are random "."s in there

Key Donnie = in 1987 (the first TV show) Mikey = in 1990 (the first live action movies from 90,91, and 93) April = in 2003 (the second TV show) Leo = in 2007 (the CGI animated movie) Raph = in 2014 (the second live action movies from 2014 and 2016) Casey = in 2018 (rottmnt)

LEO: anyone copy?

APRIL: copy

RAPH: hallelujah. Get me out of this hell

LEO: not yet. Donnie says he needs a response by everyone before he can track your locations

LEO: hi other versions of us -Mikey

DONNIE: the tech i have to work with here is ancient i hate it. No computer needs to be this chunky

MIKEY: mikey is asleep but his phone is receiving -Donnie

CASEY: fucking finally. Do you know how many frequencies i had to try to get these messages to come in. not to mention how i had to pry the phone out of Leo's hands so i could take it apart

CASEY: anyways happy to report we haven't gotten him killed yet

CASEY: for the record he came to us bruised that was not our fault

APRIL: great. We can start narrowing down locations now -Don

CASEY: spoke too soon Casey found out about your Casey and she's demanding a fight to the death. Casey might be coming home in pieces

RAPH: wtf

CASEY: do you want him in a box or can i send him in a crate?

RAPH: wtf -Donnie

CASEY: youre right, if he's bleeding the blood will ooze out

MIKEY: wtf -everyone here

LEO: wtf -Donnie

DONNIE: i dont know to respond to this -both Donnies

RAPH: damn. put him in a cooler, those are water tight -April

RAPH: please do not listen to her and please dont let any maiming occur -Donnie

----------------------------------------------------------------------

RAPH: by any chance has anyone done the calculations for their own universe? I did ours a couple years ago and its Universe 2-0-1-4 -Donnie

DONNIE: Donnie says this universe is 1-9-8-7. Our home universe is 2-0-1-2

ARPIL: Don says this one is 2003

LEO: Donnie says this is Earth 2,007

RAPH: great. We just cut down a lot of time trying to figure that out. Now we just need to track and calculate your Mikey and Casey’s locations

APRIL: their Dons have probably already done the work themselves. @Mikey @Casey -Don

DONNIE: they aren’t answering. Either they can’t get to the computer or they’re sleeping. Lets just begin the math ourselves. Me and Donnie will get started on Mikey. Who wants to track Casey?

LEO: I’ve been collecting data the whole time, I’ll take Casey. The universe he landed in sounds hardcore, if that Donnie wasn’t exaggerating. Casey’s hardcore but we should get him out of there as soon as possible -Donnie

LEO: I think he’s somewhere between 2010 and 2030. Mikey might be in the 1990s -Donnie

RAPH: I don’t know about you guys, but interdimensional travel is not a norm here -Donnie

LEO: Same. Its happened before but I wasn’t prepared to collect data -Donnie

CASEY: @Leo close. We’re Universe 2-0-1-8. And inta-dimensional travel and inter-dimensional travel is a norm here, but not inter-universe travel

MIKEY: Donnie says this is universe 19 90

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASEY: lmao look at this touch starved fool [5 attachments: couchcuddling.png]

CASEY: I didn’t know humans could turn that red -Mike

CASEY: I knew giving you access would be a mistake -D

CASEY: Just send that update video you and Mikey put together for their Casey’s friends -D

CASEY: [attachment: weekoneupdate.mp4] thought you all might like proof of life since Donnie is a horrible texter. Don’t worry about that last part I took care of it. -L

APRIL: the video quality is all corrupted and the only sound I hear is the words “it’s a hard knock life for us” on repeat -Don

RAPH: why is Casey on fire?

CASEY: I told you I took care of it -L

CASEY: he was trying to show off -D

MIKEY: the file won’t download

CASEY: rip -L

CASEY: I will boot you -D

CASEY: and Raph wants everyone to know that he’s trying his best to keep Casey alive but that Casey is giving him gray scales -Mike LEO: Can we agree to keep this chat for getting you all back home data and planning only? -Donnie

LEO: how on earth did you get Casey to agree to a spa day?

CASEY: we have girls night once every two weeks. He either had to join or vacate the premises -D

CASEY: he really enjoyed himself! -Mike

CASEY: anyways I agree lets keep this /emergency chat/ open for data and updates only. Hey Leo -D

CASEY: Yes? -L

CASEY: Adios bitch -D

-------- CASEY HAS BEEN BLOCKED FOR 24 HOURS --------

MIKEY: you can block people!?!?!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASEY: [attachment: lakeprank.mp4]

RAPH: Donnie’s mad that wasn’t a emergency “im dying” video because he nearly had a heart attack when the whole lair alerted us but the rest of us are laughing so hard. Your April has a great reporter voice. RIP Casey Jones, for his dignity died today. -April

RAPH: also Donnie thinks its fascinating you all look so different/are different turtles. -April

LEO: I want to be mad because that also gave me a heart attack but that was funny af. Even through all the grainy quality -Donnie

DONNIE: well both us Donnies are pissed because the video can’t display on these ancient computers and we thought someone died since this is a /emergency/ chat

DONNIE: Leo when did you have the time to teach him 2010s text slang?

LEO: he’s standing next to me rn and telling me what to say -Donnie

CASEY: You are all the same turtle species? man your Draxums must be boring. At least ours has some class. Some finesse. Appreciates the art of presentation. What did yours do? Go to the pet store and buy the first four turtles he saw for his experiments? -L

APRIL: we don’t have a Draxum and April says her universe doesn’t either -Don

MIKEY: Never heard of the guy -Donnie

LEO: No draxum and we were never apart of any experiments.

CASEY: so you guys WERENT created through genetic engineering for the sole purpose of being a bioweapon/supersoliders meant to lead armies to wipe out humanity? -L

MIKEY: We were mutated on accident

RAPH: wtf

APRIL: I don’t know how to respond to this, but no we were not -Don

LEO: I told you their world was hardcore -Donnie

CASEY: really? Case Man says its pretty chill compared to his. Like he doesn’t have Run Of The Mill but he does have evil aliens so -L

FYI y’all have multiple versions of yourselves across the multiverse. Just-

a lil tidbit

I KNEW IT. I called it. Did anybody listen to my several rants about the multiverse and alternate realities? No, you all ignored me. When I figure out multiversal travel and go meet my alternate selves I’m not inviting any of my brothers with me.

Ok but in all seriousness do you understand how HUGE a discovery like this would be for the humans? Like, they’ll never figure it out because they’re pretty stupid compared to me, but it would have a huge impact on their society. Not even just in the sense that they could hypothetically meet themselves in alternate realities where, say, they’re the mutant turtle, but also can you imagine how mentally impactful something like this would be? On their little human brains?! The idea that nothing you do is actually significant because in some alternate reality, your life is completely and irreversibly changed just because you decided to take a left instead of a right on your walk in 2013, or one of your ancestors decided to choose a different spouse? Absolutely mind boggling. There are universes where you don’t exist, there are universes where you’re rich, there are universes where you might have superpowers, and instead you’re stuck in this boring dimension as yourself. Hypothetically, if you were able to see the outcomes of every decision you make as you make them- however related or unrelated you may see the outcomes of your choices- would you be changing the universe you’re in?

Is this less of a multiversal conundrum and more of a timeline situation? Are alternate timelines and alternate realities linked or is it more of a one or the other type of situation? If you can change the timeline by making decisions you didn’t make in the future, does that mean you are now in an alternate reality where you chose option B? Or have you always been in that reality and choosing option A was never in the cards? But then how would you have chosen A in the future if you apparently always chose B? This went from me talking about alternate realities to trying to figure out timelines and now I need a whiteboard to figure this out ugh. -Donnie

What. -Leo

This is my turtle girl Joan on a WIP project but it’s perfect for what I’d like to bring up.

The arrow is pointing to her necklace; something that has been apart of her design since I first created her a year ago.

It’s canon in my AU that she has worn this all the time since she was nine years old. And continues to wear it well into adulthood, in both the good and bad timelines.

Just recently, after discussing it with a friend, I gave the necklace a meaning and a purpose.

To make a long story short, this is how I crossover the 2012 and Rise turtles.

Joan received the necklace from 2012 Donnie.

Because of some crazy tech, 2012 Donnie manages to cross dimensions into the Rise universe. This is when he bumps into Joan in the sewers.

Joan is 8 and 2012 Donnie is 14. He never told her his real name; she referred to him as Dede.

For a year, the two hang out and talk about anything and everything. Joan is happy to listen to him ramble about his tech and science, developing an interest in science herself.

They develop a wholesome brother-sister bond.

However, since his tech isn’t too fancy, the power 2012 Donnie was using to use his inter-dimensional portal wasn’t going to last.

So in one of their last visits, 2012 Donnie gifts her the necklace. It’s pretty and functional. It doubles as a tracker so in case he ever got the portal to work again, he’d be able to find her.

It was a bittersweet goodbye but Joan had hope that she’d see him again.

And she did.

About a year after the defeat of the Shredder, Joan opens up about the meaning behind her necklace to the guys. The moment she mentions a portal, Donnie is intrigued.

With the help of Whitney, Donnie manages to build his own inter-dimensional portal. The moment he switches it on, it triggers 2012 Donnie’s portal. This allows their universes to crossover.

For the first time in five years, Joan is able to see her big brother figure again.

Joan pounces on ‘Dede’ and hugs him tightly. 2012 Donnie hugs her back, holding her close.

His brothers and the rest of the Rise turtles are completely baffled by what’s going on. For multiple reasons.

2012 Donnie’s brothers had no idea that the ‘little yellow turtle’ he’d talk about was just another version of the Joan of their universe.

Safe to say that there are a lot of questions to be had.

But Joan and 2012 Donnie are happy to see each other again.

Hope is a ninja’s greatest weapon, right?

[2k3 2k12 cross over uwu angst already uwu - 2k3 casey talking to 2k3 raph]

Casey frowned, standing next to his Raph as he quietly watched...themselves? Okay, it was still weird, and a lot to get ones head around; multiple dimensions existed, and somehow, the Raph and Casey from one of the other universes were here. It was nice to know that, even in other Worlds, they were still together.

And damn were these two open and happy about the fact they were together, not giving a care about the fact other people could see them being affectionate together.

Casey couldn't believe he was envious over the fact there's a Raph and Casey out there that were like this,

"Mus' be nice..." Casey murmurs, not even realising he had said something at first, blushing as he looks away, "I mean, jus'...look at 'em; they're so soft t'gether an' don't care 'bout it."

He lifts a hand and rubs the back of his neck, looking off to the side,

"Sorry, jus', eh, guess I kinda, I dunno," he shrugs, not really wanting to finish the thought, "C'mon, let's get outta 'ere b'fore they get anymore mushy - if that was possible."

| Muse interaction

Raph could still feel the way his skull was throbbing from dealing with that goth out lanky annoyance he had the pleasure of being annoyed by. Raph just couldn't really tell you what about them annoyed him the most. Their general presence or the fact they were apparently Casey. A Casey Jones from another universe. Leave it to Raph to be the one to run into him first though, or well more be found by them. On the flip side though it seemed this Casey wasn't alone. Guess Raph and Casey's tend to travel together. Because not too much long after Raph came back to the lair with the pest he found. when Casey came into the lair next with a small red banded and pissed off turtle. No one really needed to even ask who that was meant to be, much to more of Raph's annoyance when a collective answer came out of his brothers beaks. More the tried out sigh they shared when they did speak.

It was Raphael.

Or well tiny Raphael as Mikey decided to call them when feeling this was all going to get way to confusing since they had the same name. Raph did have to smirk a little when said tiny Raph snapped his teeth at Mikey when they poked at him and teased them for their height. They had dealt with different universes before and come across different versions of themselves even. So this was all that out there to them it was more a matter of how these two got here in the first place. A bit of an explanation came across about some aliens called a Kraang and some machine they made that blew up and seemed to blast the pair off into this world.

Raph didn't understand much about it but Donnie seemed to follow some bit of what was able to be explained better. More than ready to hop on board to find a way to get these two back home. Eh Raph can't blame them one set of Raph and Casey was already too much for some the idea of a second set? Dose make him smirk a little when watching his purple banded brother trot off to his lab in a hurry. Muttering something about still having some blueprints or whatever from the last time that he could try working up from? Sounded like it was likely going to be awhile though.

Raphael huffed a bit as he moved to set his arms in front of his plastron. Taking his place beside Casey who seemed to have his attention fixed on the pair in the moment. Eh Raph thought he understood why to as he looked over the pair. Listening to them talking looking the other over going on about if they were hurt at all. Raphael watched as the other Raphael grasped his Casey's shoulder and stared at them with a pained look. His Casey rested his gloved hands on to their arms. This other Raph asked if his Casey had been hurt at all. Green eyes scanning over them looking for any trace of an injury. The goth Casey seemed to just smile and tell them he was fine only to ask if they were hurt in turn. Tiny Raph chuckled out in pure relief telling them who cared about that. When goth Casey told him he did they share a stare for what felt like ages. Slowly leaning in to rest their foreheads against each other.

Oh.

Seemed they had a bit more in common with tiny Raph than just the temper. They also loved Casey, so when Raph called them this Casey's Raph seemed there was more meaning behind the wording. Raph watched them a bit longer maybe it was just him being curious but he watched as tiny Raph let the end of his snout press against his Casey's nose. His beak was moving but his voice had drop a bit to low for Raphael to make out. That was interesting to him? He himself was sure he had never spoke like that to anyone, let alone his own Casey.

"Mus' be nice..."

"Uh?"

Raph worded out finally looking away from their doubles as he shifted his attention towards his own Casey now. Who didn't seem to realize he had even spoken just now, a touch of red hitting their face as their hair seemed to whip around to his it when they looked away from Raph. Raph quirked his beak a little, stepping over to lean a bit taking advantage of his smaller height for once. Letting him look up at Casey's face a moment not needing to voice anything to tell Casey to go on just now.

"I mean, jus'...look at 'em; they're so soft t'gether an' don't care 'bout it."

Raph hummed a bit then turned back to look at the their doubles a moment. His focus landed on the goth Casey, and how their eyes seemed to light up and gaze soften looking at tiny Raph. As the pair of them didn't care where they were, arms were tight around the other lips soon against their beak. uhu...that stare. Was what had Raphael's attention the most and gave a strong sudden tug in his shell himself. Did Casey ever look at him that way? How Casey pressed his forehead to that Raph's own. Letting them openly nuzzle in against their face, pecking their beak as they stole kisses from them. Not seeming to care about what tiny Raph was saying to them right now laughing so..warmly. He dropped his gaze to the floor a moment yeah Casey had a point they were very...soft. Moving to look up Casey once again as they were rubbing at the back of their neck idly lost to their own thoughts.

"Sorry, jus', eh, guess I kinda, I dunno,"

Raph cocked his head to the side a moment as he watched Casey talk. Normally he seemed on par with Casey, in sync with them. Able to guess what their next move would be when they fought together. When they hopped and ran over roof tops they fell in step and could easily keep in pace together. This might be the first time he felt like he had no idea what they were going to say or do just now. He knows Casey seemed to be thinking. Surprisingly. But it was like something was keeping his words locked away. Raph seen Casey like this before when talking about their asshole father. But this was different. It wasn't because of a flase hope he hung on to protect himself it was something else? Raph blinked a little watch Casey something was unsettling in his shell.

"Casey?" he asked reaching out his hand to try and get Casey to speak. Only to drop his hand when he watched Casey shurg his shoulders along with whatever chance their might of been of Casey opening and voicing tat thought he had, Raph felt like he could see Casey pushing it away just now in this moment.

"C'mon, let's get outta 'ere b'fore they get anymore mushy - if that was possible."

Raph let Casey walk on ahead of him, letting his fingers curl in towards the palm of his hand. Was it Raphael that was preventing Casey from voicing whatever it was they wanted to just now? Looking over his fingers himself. For some reason an old thought or memory came to mind just now. He never told Casey about him getting a little closer to their Triceraton friend Traxiums. Considering that party Raph might have made it a bit known in his drunk state though. Yeah. Raph despite it all was a bit promiscuous, and when he took a liking to someone it was pretty obvious a physical attraction was there. Hell he had the same reaction to Casey when they meant, loving rolling around and fighting with them letting Casey pin him under him so easily. But he was fixed that nothing could happen but in a desperate need? He sort of seeked out a replacement. That was awful of him he knows that Trax was aware he didn't seem to mind. He could easily feel Trax's hand around his now when he came out and told them.

It couldn't just be anyone for Raph though, it was Casey he wanted to be with. He harbored his feelings and carried his torch for them after. Some pushing and encouragement lead him to finally get a to point to tell them how he felt. That he had a thing for them the closet he'd get to a big confession. But that was the issue wasn't it? much as he could only slightly voice how he felt towards Casey in words.

Raph wasn't much better in other ways was he? His eyes shifted to the side once more looking to Casey and Raph, soon only to Casey and how he was with Raph. He felt doubt before when it came to him and Casey but now? This laid heavier suddenly. He looked back to his Casey. His uh? moving to plant his stance as he folded his arms over his plastron a moment.

"Eh actually Case" He didn't want to be around them right now. "I think I need ta stay here." He offers as his excuse. "small fry there gonna need somewhere to rest an' all. We're gonna let 'im stay course but means we gotta figure sleep arrangement or whatever. Figure he can jus'bunk with me." Since when was Raph so accommodating to a guest. "Gonna need ta set somethin' up for 'em ya know." Raohs room was mostly a second training room after all out aide his hammock he had. A bean bag chair but that was for Don only. So they were gonna need to set up a cot or something up for the other Raphael. "Probs gotta figure out Goth boy's set up to less ya fine taking him in with ya for now that is."

Catching sight of blue tail mask end from the corner of his eye, as he reached over and grabbed on to Leo. "So ya know, catch ya later. we gotta figure this shit out less ya wanna take goth boy with ya right away." Yeah, he wasn't acting his usual self in the moment. Moving to push Leo now back the way he was going as he tagged along when asked what was up with him Raph shrugged it off and said nothing more.

"I can't keep doing this Trax it ain't right ta you. I know you don't care but." A heavy sigh escaped his shell "it's was misguided and stupid.." clearly not his words someone else's he was reflecting on. And he hated that they were right. "I thought I jus' get over him eventually but....it's serious."

Raph just gritted his teeth a little and grinded them over each other. What was the point if he wasn't willing to. Letting his thoughts drop off a moment as he looked back to the pair of them. He couldn't believe he felt envious of a stare npt for him just now. That fact a Casey can so openly look at Raph like that be so openly affectionate with him even. Something about this other Casey looking towards thier Raphael in such a way. Had him longing and pinning he was used to that emotion. He shouldn't feel that way now though. Casey and him were together now after all.

Weren't they?

Jay z 444

A day later, the Charlotte Hornets drafted a 17-year-old Bryant, only to send him to Los Angeles in return for Vlade Divac. Reasonable Doubt, the corner-boy manifesto and classic hip-hop debut, arrived on June 25, 1996. But it spared JAY-Z.īryant and JAY, despite nine years separating them, came into the public’s eye together. Rap was never given the chance to heal from those wounds - Biggie, Tupac - it helped create. With his wife, Beyoncé, and his sister-in-law, Solange, using their last albums for their most personal work, it’s no surprise 4:44 unmasks itself as JAY at his emotional and creative zenith. The desire has been for him to curb the flaunting of luxuries and come with the real on what it’s like to be one of the most successful people in the world - and also one of its most haunted.īut the writing had been on the wall. It’s the project fans and critics have clamored for, for years: the authentic Jay Z. Off the rip, though, this is the greatest rapper of all time stripping himself down to essentials. Yet, where 4:44 will land in the rankings of JAY-Z’s catalog is a question better left for time. But in the end it is JAY’s inward glimpse of himself - the man he was, the man he’s become, the man he grew to partially hate - that separates this album from his previous bodies of work. Without No I.D.’s soulful backdrops (inspired by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Kool & The Gang and more), 4:44 might lack the emotional connection it not only thrives on but quite literally survives on. No I.D.’s music is more than just “beats,” or instrumentals. Ernest “No I.D.” Wilson, who produced JAY’s 2009 “ Run This Town” and “ Death of Autotune,” as well as 2007’s “ Success,” among others, is the album’s lone producer, and he is irreplaceable. The 10-track 4:44 is the most emotionally taxing project of JAY’s ( he’s back to all caps) career. But for one night, the music universe revolved around JAY-Z, the sport’s finest elder statesman, with the release of his 13th studio album, 4:44. I am not soul purist, and I enjoy many forms of classical and popular music.These moments don’t happen. I quite frequently write and/or record feature vocals for a variety of other artists - soul, house, electro swing, pop, whatever. Plus… you would literally have to be living under a rock in the middle of the desert to have missed JAY-Z’s stuff, right? For sure, I would be happy to work with other artists. It’s not top of my listening list but it’s definitely played a part in my playlist for a long time. That was quite a day for us all! Nobody could have prepared me for that.ĭo you usually listen to rap? Even thought about recording with MCs? If so, who do you want to team up with? We all knew about the “story” at the same time the rest of the world found out on June 30. I didn’t even know it was the title track. I had literally no idea about the story behind the song or the story behind being his vehicle to write the song.

How does it feel to be part of something like that? And of course, you play a big part of this, providing the voice that inspired him. No ID said that he did the track that way so he could box Jay into openly talking about those feelings. “4:44” not only is the best song in the album, but also one of the greatest songs by JAY-Z in his whole career. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With '4:44'

He didn’t use the additional versions in the end which I am really pleased about as it shows that the original track totally speaks for itself. So I went straight home and called him from my tiny rented house in Winchester and… that was it. Please let me know when you are available for a quick chat.

To my absolute shock and disbelief, I had missed calls from a U.S. We were nearly home when I thought to check my phone and let my husband know to come and pick me up. I was on a coach on the way home from the Cathedral’s Group choir festival with about 50 students from the music department I run at the University of Winchester. Z called me 48 hours later to ask if he could have the sessions from our studio recording and to re-record some alternate permutations of the chorus lyrics in case he wanted to diversify from the implied meaning in the original. I was convinced when my drummer and manager Jai called me to tell me “to expect a phone call from JAY-Z” that it was some elaborate wind-up. You had one of the greatest rappers calling you personally. Most of the time, when a big rapper wants to sample a song, the whole thing is handled by agents, managers, A&Rs, that kind of stuff. Nothing makes me want to dance more than those fast, complex polyrhythms. I have to confess that I am not enormously experienced in Brazilian music, but I do know that I love samba. Do you like anything from Brazilian music?
