B4 Kendratello (just an idea if you want to: Kendra tries to do it to Donnie but she's too small 😂)

Kendra would NEVER give up because she's too small

Ghost Leo: …Why is little me crying on the floor?

Ghost Donny: *shrugs* He was apparently a huge Trekkie.

Ghost Leo: Well he’s been crying for an hour, we need to do something to stop him crying!

~~~~~One mysterious ghost montage later~~~~~~

April: Okay, well take care of Leo until next patrol, guys. I haven’t seen him this mopey…in like ever.

Donnie: Don’t worry, Sensei’s going to have a talk with him. And I got permission to go dumpster diving with Raph to look for a replacement TV this week.

April: That’s good. *phone chimes* Oh, that’s my Dad. Gotta go, see you guys tomorrow?

Donnie: Yep, bye April!

*April leaves*

*Titan appears behind, Donnie.*

Titan: What was that about?

Donnie: GAH—SWEET NEWTON, Sewer apples!

Don’t sneak up on me like that.

Titan: My question still stands.

Donnie: Firstly, if you’re going to be living with us, could try not to do that?

Titan: Sorry kid, Ninja’s gotta Ninja

Donnie: *sighs and rolls eyes* There was an incident earlier where in the middle of Leo’s Space Heroes Marathon, the TV short circuited (which stills befuddles me how it happened! Everything was in work order!! ) and it somehow destroyed the VHS player. Leo’s been upset and for some reason Mikey’s freaking out going around with table salt throwing it on everything.

Donnie: So it would be an understatement right now to say that today’s been a…day.

Titan: Ah, I see. Well, I’ll go on them then.

*Titan leaves and comes across the TV room pit, where there’s a suspiciously new tv with a note hanging off of it*

*Some of the ink on the note was smeared but leaving a semi-readable letter*

STOP CRYING.

*And a new set of SpaceHeroes season one through twelve. Unfortunately in DVD, and not VHS*

The idea that 2012! Leo is emotionally attached to the TV is precious to me.

Soon Titan will find out.... soon.

how would spikeangelo react to finding a turtle taller than himself?

Man's a menace...

Karai, Titan could I perhaps ask to give my favorite Cain twins the gift of this…totally not sentient and totally not suspicious cheese grater?

*blinks with non existent eyelashes and huge round bug eyes*

[Does not hear Ghost Raph screaming at the fact that there is a bug mutant in background]

They are not a fan ._.')

Michelangelo: Hey, do you know anyone who can teach me to play the trumpet?

Donatello: Why?

Michelangelo: I want to wander around playing it to annoy Raphael.

Donatello: Technically, you don’t actually need to know how to play the trumpet well for that.

Michelangelo: Donatello, you have opened my eyes.

You know when someone goes through your blog on a mass like-spree for a fandom? I love those like, 19 notifications in a row. it’s like “Ah, I see you’re well into a fixation. God bless.”

Something something August and Papatello 80s themed entry for the @tmntfashioncompetition !!

Largely inspired by Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and the vibes of 80s music hits. 🎵

coordinating family activities is hard when all four of you have entirely different jobs and entirely different talents

Lee tends to hum quite often, especially when he's focused or enjoying something. He sounds like a bee, so Malea started calling him her "lil bee".

The canon turtles, especially Leo, picked up on it and started doing it as well. So now whenever they walk past a humming Lee or they meet up, they greet him with "hey lil bee".

Can we make Team Red a thing?

i think they would get along like a house on fire. we need more fanfic of this trio.

^^ how i think they might bond.

what are teenage meddling turtles roles?

Mikey, ‘The Son’ = Leader/Face

Raph, ‘The Shield’ = Front-Liner/Tank

Leo, ‘The Sword’ = Strategist/Rogue

Donnie, ‘The Survivor(?)’ = Support/Ranger

The roles may differ between seasons, but these are p much the primary ones! ^^ Mikey is the strongest all-rounder, being able to adapt to any situation w ease, but also lacks a bit of common sense, which Raph and Leo make up for. Raph has the most constitution (thus being the shield) and doesn’t mind not being leader as long as he can keep punching things. And Leo? He’s the most skilled at the blade, along w being the most agile— though he doesn’t get a lot of points at the beginning w his plans, his talent for strategy and thinking ahead is crucial down the line.

Donnie, compared to previous iterations, takes a hugeee step back from conflict, mainly due to his overall weakness in close combat and lacking fighting skills/experience. He makes up for it easily through his tech and.. other non-traditionally trained skills, but generally just stays a sniper in the skies.

thinking about Donny developing a crush on Angel

Because I don't think it would be until after btts. There are moments in earlier seasons that are seeds to me, where I think they'd be in love looking back on it, if that makes sense? But when she gives him the best of the outfits in her intro episode and he enjoys dressing up more than we usually will see from him, I don't think it means anything at the time. Or in the Darkness Within when the creature makes him see her fall--I like best to read that as purely platonic in that moment. They don't know each other well yet--but it does tell us something about how deeply he values his friendships. And the fact that she comes to their Christmas party--okay she mostly seems to be there to help Raph torment Casey and April, but still, it shows some trust and level of effort that she's there. Because it's not like she can tell her grandma where she's going.

On my mind lately has been Donny, finally truly coming back to the present after getting Master Splinter back, wanting to move on quickly to the next big thing which he now knows is helping April start her own tech company, but he can't tell her that because 1) messes with the timestream and 2) she just got married. He needs to find ways to keep himself busy because when he doesn't have something immediate to deal with, he ends up having to deal with nightmares and shutdowns instead.

And then here's Angel, settling into her job as a hairdresser, just moved back in with Gramma because she needs help at home, trying to spend more time with the turtles because 1) they disappeared, that freaked everyone out, stuff is is always happening to them and this time she's not gonna miss it, and 2) trying to recapture memories because her life has gotten away from her so fast and now it's 9 to 5 and what ever happened to graffiti and beating up thugs? (she'll get those things back just dealing with early 20s time management struggle). She's not a very openly verbally affectionate person, she's always been super independent, she doesn't really know how to say 'hey i missed you guys, do you wanna hang out because sometimes if i don't see you for too long i get worried.' So she tries to feel useful. Invites herself on patrols with them. Hangs out a lot with Leatherhead learning first aid for mutants (lots of skills apply to both but he's the medical expert in their friend group of mixed creatures and given their various hobbies they could always use more friends who can help with injuries). And--most importantly for this post--brings things by that she thinks the turtles could use. Just little gifts. Fun accessories to help them blend ('trust me mismatched socks are cool, the sillier the better. No one's gonna be checking how many toes you have if you're wearing these'), her own art, extra screws and bolts upon noticing that Donny can always find a way to use them. It becomes a bit of a game, with her trying to spot things that could be taken apart and repurposed to see what he ends up doing with them.

Gifts are a big deal to Donny. Especially since, as noted above, without a crisis to deal with he's finding himself vulnerable as emotions he previously couldn't confront due to being in survival mode are coming to the surface. And now someone he already respects and cares deeply for is bringing him Items and taking an interest in what he does with them. I think this is the main thing that gets his attention. And once you have Don's attention you have All Of It because that's how his brain works what, projecting? me? . He's seeing how much she tries to take care of other people while trying to maintain this aloof 'whatever I'm just here for the free food' facade. Noticing that she likes to do her nails in colors that clash with her hair, when she does them, usually she keeps them plain. Taking an interest in human cosmetology (what an academically interesting subject). Finding her jokes funnier than he ever remembers finding Casey's even though they have a very similar sense of humor. Admiring how brave she is, heart swelling with warmth when she does little things to take care of her grandma, stomach fluttering when she comes over to play video games with Mikey and specifically asks him to join. Taking note of her favorite foods, taste in music, what types of games and movies she likes.

Slowly realizing that his feelings have evolved, trying to ignore it because he has no idea how pursuing a relationship would even work. And then one day as he's shaking himself out of his daydreams to refocus on fixing the dishwasher, realizing that more and more often it's her filling up his thoughts in quiet moments, instead of Shredder or Triceratons or Viral. Huh, cool. Maybe it's not a permanent solution, Master Splinter's been telling him he needs to allow these feelings to run their course, but--well, maybe he can apply that to the crush he's developed. That's something he has to deal with, too, and it sure feels nicer.

And then Angel (who is more observant and more confident than her friend group, mostly older than her, ever remember), asks him on a date. Now he has a big thing to focus on! And for the first time in what feels like ever, it's a happy thing. He's going to be the best boyfriend, Angel deserves to be so spoiled and he's good at that!
