But why is it so hard to find Raph fics??? I mean, TMNT has been around since the 80s, tumblr has been a thing since 2007. Fan fiction has been a thing since the beginning of time.
I know there’s more than this.
There’s no way I’ve already reached the bottom of all the Raph tags. There’s no way.
Anyways, I’m gonna make it my mission to weed through all the Raphael x reader tags and organize them here on this blog in (what I think will be) an easy to navigate list. Because I’m sick and tired of not being able to find anything for him 😩😭
Wish me luck 🫡
-Pinto 🌱
P.S. If anyone has any Raph x reader fics (any iteration!) please send them my way! I’ll get started on a master list as soon as I wake up tomorrow 🙏

1. Watching His Favorite Movie - every iteration I've ever seen
My headcanons based on vibes and thrown together in the middle of the night
1987 Raphael
becomes the most annoying person you’ve ever watched a movie with
ever
has seen this movie ten dozen times, can and will quote it by heart
would rather make fun of everything in said movie, witty one-liners galore
all the snacks which he chews obnoxiously and loudly
1990s Raph
as background noise to literally anything
once he saw it and decided yep this is my favorite he never sat down to watch it again
he's got things to do and ain’t nobody got time to sit down and watch a movie they’ve already seen
just has it playing while he works out or cleans his sai or does chores or whatever
but if someone tries to turn it off he will get pissed, he was paying attention thank you very much and that was the best part
TNM Raph
on his own, he either gets super into it or just passes out halfway through
with some else, he must make them understand why this is in fact the greatest movie of all time
the kinda guy that goes wait wait wait here’s the best part and gets mad when you don’t react correctly to his favorite scenes
the guys hate him for it because they’ve all seen this movie a million times
but Venus has not! and he takes full advantage of that fact
2003 Raph
is pretty thoughtful and quiet about it
mostly because he likes to pull it out when he’s having a low-energy day or just feeling nostalgic
must be doing something mindless simultaneously: knitting, eating, I don’t know, laundry?
is also super insightful about it, can and will dissect the plot
hums the soundtrack to himself for the rest of the day
2007 Raph
prefers to watch with at least one other person so he can ✨ discuss ✨
always uses closed captions
loves the IDEA of sneaking into theaters to see it but can’t stand watching it straight through
frequently pauses and rewinds, especially loves extended cuts and commentaries
will get sidetracked halfway through by video essays and online debates courtesy of Donnie
2012 Raph
his level of enjoyment is directly proportional to the amount of scoffing
even alone actually, it's not just a tough guy act
it's like when you know something is objectively awful but you unironically love it anyway
if someone misreads this as dislike or disinterest and suggests turning it off they will be threatened within an inch of their life
hates interruptions cannot stand people who talk while watching his movie and gets really frustrated when he can’t finish watching it in one sitting
Rise Raph
DO NOT GET NEAR HIM
the closest available object and/or person will become his personal teddy bear for the duration of any scene that makes him emotional
otherwise he’s reenacting the entire thing, as a one-man show or with his siblings
definitely knows it by heart and all of the trivia
particularly all the obscure actors and stunt people
M&M Raph
so loud, oh my wow, both him and whatever device he’s watching on
reacts every time like it’s the first time he’s seen it
especially loses his mind if he notices something he never has before
talks about it for hours afterwards
will subconsciously adopt all the catchphrases and verbal quirks
