Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

[incorrect-tottmntmm-quotes]

Donnie: Did you have to stab them? 

Raph: You weren’t there. You didn’t hear what they said to me. 

Donnie: What did they say? 

Raph: "What are you going to do, stab me?" 

Donnie: That’s fair.

[babyprime]

mutant mayhem was really good

[gornackeaterofworlds]

rank….. donnie

Ur evil. Donnie is the only one that I genuinely like every version of, can't go wrong with a Donnie. From my favorite to least:

Bay

Rise

12

03

07

3 and 7 are lower bc I haven't seen very much of the source material, that doesn't mean they're disliked. From what I have seen, they're very cool

Opposites Attract

Summary: You and Nika share a class and sit next to each other. Shes always teasing you, saying you're nerdy, while you always tease her, calling her a stereotypical jock.

wc: 1.6k warnings: none really, mostly fluff, a bit of enemies to lovers if you squint pairings: nika muhl x fem!reader

im trying this in a bit of a different style bc i feel like it fits the best! lmk if you guys like it or not

"What a nerd." "Nerd? At least I'm not a meathead."

When you first got paired with Nika for your class seating assignments, you were less than thrilled. Being with the class jock was not something you were looking forward to. You assumed she was all looks and brawn, no brain.

She felt the exact same way. She couldn't believe that she was stuck with some loser nerd. At least she'd have you to rely on for projects when basketball kept her too busy, and left her too exhausted to do anything but collapse in her bed.

You were working on your first project together, and you decided to meet up in the library. When Nika finally arrived, you had your laptop out and your nose in a book. She, on the other hand, was sweaty and exhausted from practice.

"Sorry I'm late. Coach had us run at the end of practice." She plopped her bag into the chair next to her and sat down.

"Mm, alright." You mumbled, keeping focus on the project.

She stared at you for a moment before sighing. "Are you gonna end up doing this whole thing all yourself?"

You tore your eyes away from your screen and stopped typing to look at her. "Not if you show up on time tomorrow."

She rolled her eyes. "Can't help it if practice runs late."

You scoffed. "You could've texted me, we could've rescheduled."

"Whatever." She muttered as she pulled her laptop out of her bag and opened it up to the document you were busy typing away at. Her eyes widened when she saw almost a whole page finished already. "You've done this much in the twenty minutes I wasn't here?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Jesus, what a nerd."

You deadpanned. "Nerd? At least I'm not a meathead."

She took a deep breath and shook her head before forcing herself to focus on the project, the two of you being civil for your rest of the time in the library.

"Nerd." "Meathead." "Dork." "Jock."

You smiled at Nika as she sat down next to you. She flashed a bright smile at you. "Hey, nerd."

Your eyes rolled playfully. "Hey, meathead."

Your class started and the professor taught her lesson. Nika thought it would be better to mess with you than pay attention, though. She scribbled something messily on a sticky note and stuck it right onto your notes page.

You sighed and read it. 'wanna hang out later?'

She glanced at you with a hopeful smile as you quickly wrote something back, passing it back over to her. 'can't. studying and homework for other classes :('

Nika drew a frowny face and passed it back to you. You smiled a little at it, and resumed taking notes. But she wasn't finished.

She pulled out another sticky note and wrote on it again, passing it back over to you. 'pleaseeeee? i know you wanna'

A long sigh escaped your lips as you wrote an answer and gave it back to her. 'i have too much to do tonight, sorry. and pay attention before you flunk out'

She smiled and whispered to you. "I'm not gonna flunk out, I've got my favorite dork to help me."

You shook your head. "I'm not a dork, first of all. Second, you're such a stereotypical jock, always asking the smart kid in class for help."

A quite laugh escaped her lips. It sounded like a melody to your ears.

Your professor didn't find it as endearing as you did, however. "Girls, focus." Her eyes landed on the two of you before she turned back around.

The two of you giggled together quietly.

Later than night, you were doing exactly what you told Nika you would be. A mountain of papers and books surrounded you on the floor. You had flashcards laid out everywhere. You were drowning in work, and you were ready for a break, but you only had to study for one more class.

Fortunately a break soon arrived when you heard knocking on your door. You stood up with a groan and walked over, the hair in your ponytail practically falling out, bags under your eyes from the countless hours of work you've done today.

You opened the door and Nika was standing there, a plastic takeout bag in her hand. "Thought you'd need a break tonight, I brought food."

You stared at her for a moment before smiling and pulling her inside. "You are a godsend, Nika Muhl." You grabbed the bag from her hand and set it on your desk.

Nika stood behind you, looking at all your studying materials sprawled on the floor. "Jesus, how long have you been doing this for?"

"Uh, a few hours. Nothing too bad."

"A few hours? Without a break?" She scoffed.

You turned around and looked at her. "How did you know I haven't taken a break?"

She grinned at you as she took in your appearance. "By just looking at you." You were disheveled and simply looked exhausted.

"Wow, rude." You feigned offense and placed your hand on your chest.

She laughed softly and took a step towards you. "But seriously, you need a break. You're gonna wear yourself out." She brushed a lose strand of hair out of your face.

"Guess all that studying together paid off, hm?" "Guess so. Maybe hanging with a nerd isn't that bad."

It was finals week and you had been working your ass off. Late night after late night of studying with Nika had you both prepared for your exam.

Per Nika's rules, you had to take a mandatory fifteen minute break every forty-five minutes. She refused to let you overwork yourself, and for once, you agreed. You could tell she was exhausted too. She was balancing academics and her playoff games, on top of hours long practices.

You had also implemented a reward system. While doing flashcards, for every three questions one of you got right, you got to ask the other person a question. That was when you found out Nika was gay.

"That's three, I get to ask you something now." You stared at her as you sat across from her on the floor of her dorm.

"Go for it." She smiled at you.

You thought for a moment. You had already asked her about Croatia, her teammates and friends, but not anything romantically. "Ooh, I got one. Do you have a boyfriend? Or are your eyes on any guy in particular?"

She stared at you for a moment before laughing. Your brows furrowed. "What? Why are you laughing?"

"It's just funny." She took a deep breath. "How you looked at me and thought I was straight."

Your lips parted. "You're..?" She nodded. "Oh." You squeaked quietly, your face heating up. "I-I didn't mean to assume, I just figured... y'know."

"I don't think I do."

You sighed. "I just assumed you only liked guys, I dunno."

"Well I don't." She smiled. "Only like guys, that is."

"Right." You smiled a little back at her, your gazes lingering on the others for a moment too long to be considered only friendly. You cleared your throat and looked down at the notecard in your hand. "Back to studying."

She didn't look away from you. She couldn't pull her eyes away from you.

It was the day that exam test scores were going to be released. You sat anxiously in the lecture hall, in your regular seat next to Nika. Your leg was bobbing up and down as the professor explained that only two students exceled with her exam, and you prayed that one of them was you.

Nika had her eyes on you, analyzing everything you were doing. She noticed the bobbing of your leg, but also the tight grip you held on your phone, and the way your bottom lip was caught between your teeth.

"Hey." She said quietly as she reached out, placing her hand on your knee to help calm you down. Your gaze darted up to meet hers, and her expression was soft. "I promise that you did amazing."

You swallowed nervously. "But what if I didn't? What if I totally bombed it and-"

She gently squeezed your leg. "You didn't bomb it. I know you didn't. Take a deep breath." You did. You inhaled deeply and closed your eyes as you let it out. "There you go."

She wrapped her arm around your shoulder and you relaxed a bit at her touch. You leaned your head against her, closing your eyes, and hoping for the best.

The professor called everyone down one by one, handed them the paper with their grade, and dismissed them from the class to look at it. Nika had already been called, and when you were, it took you a second to snap back into reality.

You went down and collected your paper, then quickly left the room. You rounded a corner and saw no one around you, unsure of where Nika disappeared to.

You took a deep breath before opening the paper and looking at your grade. You had gotten a 98, the highest grade in the class. You let out the breath you were holding and leaned your head back. "Thank god." You said quietly.

"Everything okay?" Nika's voice came from behind you.

You spun around with a smile on your face. "I got a 98!"

She smiled at you before moving forward and wrapping her arms around you, pulling you into a hug. "Holy shit! I got a 93!" You hugged her back and smiled brightly against her neck.

You pulled back to look at her, and in a wave of emotions, crashed your lips against hers. She froze for a second before reciprocating the kiss, causing you to stumble backwards a bit.

The both of you giggled and your rested your foreheads against each other's. "Guess all that studying together paid off, hm?" You grinned.

"Guess so." She pecked your lips. "Maybe hanging with a nerd isn't that bad."

i really hope you guys like this one!! i loved writing this sm that i wrote it practically within the same sitting on the same day that I got the request. thank you anon for sending this in!!

Acquaintance 

You’re pretty sure Eren Jaeger hates you.

Not because you’ve done anything remotely to set him off. You think it’s simply because you exist.

You met him six months ago during a phase you consider a blur of parties and all nighters to get papers due. Sasha introduced you two and with a mere glance he mumbled a raspy greeting. It’s been downhill since then.

Every time you see this man, his glare makes you wince. It’s not by any means a glance or a look your way. No, he full on squints, twists his mouth, and wrinkles his nose as if he’s smelled something foul.

You’re not too sure when you started caring. Somewhere between the sly glances and whispers when you come around. You’re not self conscious. You love yourself and that didn’t happen overnight.

So you avoid him at all costs. Every time there’s a get together and he’s there, you steer clear. When you happen to see him with Armin and Ony, you make your presence unknown.

But tonight he’s intent on trapping you, you think. That must be it. Because wherever you go, he’s there.

Ony’s apartment isn’t that big, but damn.

Getting a drink? He’s grabbing one too.

Need to pee? He’s in line behind you at the bathroom. And your favorite is the obvious glare he gives as you stand across the room from him. It’s almost unsettling.

Maybe it’s liquor or the edible that courses through your veins, but you find your legs walking across the room before you can control them. In a few seconds, you’re toe to toe with him.

The glare is still there, albeit softer, but there. Your mouth opens and once it again it proceeds before your brain.

“Is there a fucking problem, Jaeger?”

You suspect that he doesn’t show much emotion but the way the right side of his mouth quirks up dismisses that idea entirely. The way he says nothing irks you even more.

You figure you’ll do the talking for both of you. You look at him and your lip curls in irritation. Everyone knows about Eren. He’s not exactly subtle by any means. From the way he wears black with every outfit to the way he’s known to swing on anyone that rubs him the wrong way. Sasha mentioned that he was a nice guy once you get to know him, but nice isn’t what you’d call this treatment.

So you roll your shoulders back and lower your eye lids in silent consternation.

“I’m not scared of you.”

That smirk has become a full blown smile now. His pearly white teeth on display confuses you even more. You open your mouth again to offer some sound advice and he grabs you so suddenly that you don’t know he’s done it until you feel a light pressure around your throat. His thumb strokes your clavicle and his index finger has a firm grip. If you weren’t scared before, you are now.

Mikasa—also a new acquaintance—looks on in quiet horror. The rest of the group acts as if it isn’t happening.

“Eren,” Mikasa says, and the tone is a mix of admonishment and shock. You barely hear her speak over the pounding in your ears. She says his name again and out of the corner of your eye you see her hand reach for his hands. The hand on your throat flexes and he licks at his right canine tooth, just like a lion ready to devour his prey.

His eyes slant and glance at her in vexation. If you blinked, you wouldn’t notice. That look screamed dangerous and violent. Mikasa’s hands freeze in mid-air and drop down to her sides.

Eren’s a big guy, at least six inches taller than you and brawn like nobody’s business. The fact that he could easily squeeze just a little harder and effectively cut off your air supply doesn’t perturb you. In fact, you shuffle a bit closer to him, longing for him to do just that.

“Mm.” He makes a noise from deep within his chest and leans down until his mouth is flush with your ear. “Are you scared now?”

jason getting his wisdom teeth out (or generally loopy on painkillers, like maybe post-mission or smth) and rambling abt how much he loves you and his life. adksjkfh sorry he's such a loser i love him to death

This was such a funny/silly idea I swear. Silly goofy cute husband stuff, I need this man 🧍🏽‍♀️

I did this draft at work and I didn’t have chance to look up reference videos, what you see is what you get 🌝

—

Time written - 9:18 a.m

—

“How’re you feeling?” You ask towards the large lump of a man casually sprawled over a majority of your couch, dressed in dark lounge clothes with a bandage tied around his right forearm. “Feeling alright?”

“Mm… No,” he answers. He’s still pretty loopy, his attention split between you and the ceiling above him. Maybe it’s the medication making him feel so relaxed, but he looks… content.

“No, wait. I- I’m fine,” Jason slurs, a faint smirk gracing his lips. “I’m perfectlyy fine.”

It’s funny; in an ideal world he’d be more embarrassed than he is, his words mumbled through small mouthfuls of damp, pink tinted cotton. Yet he’s so out of it he can’t care if you judge him or not.

Whether he would recall being hauled into an apartment elevator by Dick while you watched, probably secretly taking photos and videos would be a complete mystery.

Of all the ways you’ve had him the most vulnerable, this has got to be the best.

“How was work?” He mumbles, rubbing at his eyes with one hand.

Work? You question in your head, huffing a little bit. You rarely call in, but today was such a necessity. Thankfully you had an understanding boss, and an understandably reasonable friendship with the eldest Wayne son, who helped you carry such a large hunk of brawn and brain from your passenger seat towards your living room couch. You weren’t sure to play along or to break character to a play you weren’t aware you were involved in.

“Work was fine,” you say as you settle in between the slim spot available on the couch. He looks pretty comfortable there, but he probably would be happier in bed. “You sure you’re not in pain?”

“Mhm,” he grunts, closing his eyes as he tries to rest his head against the back of the couch. He looks as if he could fall asleep at any second, eyes half closed.

Jason looks up at you through slightly glazed-over eyes, his expression making it obvious that he isn’t paying attention to a word you’re saying. In fact, he looks a little surprised that you’re even sitting here next to him.

Something about you being so close to him is stirring up the medicated fog in his head. He can barely feel the stitches that he got earlier in his mouth, or how difficult it was to smile from all the numbing they’d done.

“You’re… right next to me.”

His murmured words are slurred, and they don’t make a whole lot of sense, but they make you smile.

“Yeah,” you reassure him. “Just making sure you’re feeling okay.” Of course—he thinks you’re so beautiful, where did an angel like you come from?

“Just rest here for a bit, alright?” Your hand finds its way to his, squeezing his hand lightly. “Think Dick went to go get something for you to eat. Or maybe Alfred made something for you. I bet you’re really hungry, huh?”

Again, he wasn’t listening to a word you were saying. His eyes peered down to his limp hand, seeing your slim, tiny fingers cradled along his open palm. Your skin was so smooth, so—

“Soft…” He mutters, making you scrunch your lips to refrain from laughing.

“Jason,” you attempt again. “You heard me?”

“Mm.. Yeah.” His gaze flicks back to yours, his head raising just a bit as if a teacher abruptly called his name in the middle of class.

“You look, uh, pretty.” He says, blinking once. “Today. Right now.”

Once more, it took everything in you not to laugh, recalling Jason’s insistence that he’d be perfectly capable on this kind of medication last night.

Oh, you were incredibly aware that he’s dealt with various stitches and removing bullets from his body, broken ribs and resetting bones back into sockets. And death. Sure, he’s explained he’s been on hardcore pain medication plenty of times, and how much it would’ve sucked if he was allergic to any of them. He’s Red Hood, he’s handled so much, he could basically handle anything.

However, as truthful as you understood, seeing him in such a state after removing one wisdom tooth was so … funny. Their were hundreds of other amusing descriptions to describe it, but in the end, it was all so very funny, seeing him all giddy like a little boy holding his schoolgirl crush’s hand.

Even though you’ve been dating for about five years. With a year break in between, give or take.

Maybe it’s because he’s so out of it. Maybe it’s all the meds they gave him messing with his brain. As funny as it was, it was also a relief to see him so relaxed, not as tense as he usually was. Especially during off days when he’d insist he was calm and collected, but the tension in his shoulders never dissipated.

“You look so pretty… Your hair, your eyes.”

His soft comment melts your heart, making you squeeze his hand. “Aww. You think I’m that pretty, Jason?”

Jason nods, smiling lazily at you. You lean your head against his shoulder for a short moment, mindful of his slightly swollen cheek.

“I’m sure you already know that, but… Yeah.” His hand raises yours upwards, a brief flush of heat spreading across his face as he plants a weak kiss along the back of your palm.

“Mm… you’re so gorgeous. I wanna tell you every day.” His voice trails off, eyelids getting heavier by the second, nearly hiding his heart eyes from you. There’s no hesitancy in his voice, no doubt to what he says. Just a simple answer, simple truth.

“So, are you feeling hungry?” You try again, reminding him of what you said earlier. If he was paying any attention. “Dick might be here any minute. He might’ve brought some froyo.”

He has a quiet hum, glancing back up at the ceiling again. “Dick. Dick’s always so thoughtful, y’know? Not as, uh, as much as you though. He’d never be.”

You cock a brow, fighting back any amused response. There it was, something unusually unexpected that Jason Todd would say about someone he insists he can’t tolerate about eighty percent of the day.

Dick being thoughtful? You’re positive the man is now in possession of lots of photos and videos of Jason during the car ride home after the dentist.

“I’m not hungry… but I’d love if you fed me.” His voice is soft, just slightly louder than a whisper.

Your eyes widen considerably, finally releasing a giggle after so long. You gave it your best shot, but your response was enough to make your boyfriend lightly laugh. His face winces, a low grunt leaving his mouth as his hand cradled his cheek.

“Awww,” you take his hand, feeling a little guilty for making him hurt. “I’m sorry, handsome. You can’t laugh for a while, did that hurt a lot?”

Jason gives you his best smile, which is admittedly a slightly goofy grin as he shakes his head, putting on a brave front despite the pain coursing through his head. “Nuh-uh. Not at all… Your hands are so soft, babe.”

You resort to a soft chuckle, trailing your fingers up to ruffle and smooth along his hair. “Thank you, Jason.”

He’s slow to reply, clearly lost in thought with genuine, furrowed brows. If not for the medication, he’d probably kiss you right now.

The doorbell rings, giving you a chance to get off the couch and invite Dick in, who carried with him bags of food and frozen yogurt. Jason had no problem staying where he was, his eyes fully closed as his body sank back into the cushions, seemingly content with couch life.

“Catch him saying anything stupid?” Dick mutters to you as you ladle some soup into a bowl, hellbent on capturing any sort of evidence to use against the man for future purposes.

“Other than him believing I’m still his favorite woman, he thinks you’re a thoughtful older brother.”

“Oh yeah??” Dick chuckles, peering his head over towards the slumped man. “I’d think if roles were reversed, he would’ve left my ass on the curb.”

“Don’t be mean,” you scoff, playfully nudging him with your elbow. “You know he’d at least take you back home.”

“Inside a trash bag in the trunk,” Dick muses, casually leaning beside you on the kitchen counter. “You catch it on video?”

“Left my phone in my purse,” you shook your head, reaching into a drawer to get a spoon. “Stay for a while. See what happens.”

“Babe??” You hear Jason call from the living room. You peer your head out this time, seeing him fully sitting up from the couch, his head turned towards you with focused vision and deep concern written all over his face.

“Wait… weren’t you working today?”

[motolokiev]

art I did a couple months ago in anticipation for the movie!! 😂 Somehow, Rise Raph has encountered the bean-sized version of the brains and brawn of mm… somehow…

[incorrect-tottmntmm-quotes]

Donnie: BWWAAAAAAAAAA! Oh, you hear that? That's the wrong opinion alarm. 

Raph: That is not something you actually have installed. 

Donnie: Sorry, say again? I couldn't hear you over my alarm that YOU SET OFF with your WRONG-ASS OPINION.

[letsgetitblog]

I DID wanted to make a "Raph duo's" one but then I kept seeing all the other duos like Baja blast and brains & brawns so I said fuck it 🤷🏾‍♀️😂

MM Raph - Mun talks about the Muse

| Mun talks about the Muse. Send one of the following to ask the mun… (please specify muse for multis)

ITS MM RAPH TIME. And likely the Raph that kind of has most my attetion atm XD Can I just say I have a struggle with Rise Raph so MM Raph was a nice breath of fresh air. Im not saying you can’t have a teddy bear Raph buuuut yyou still need him to have the usual Raph like traits to turly be Raphael. And I just love how unhinge this Raph can be at times. He’s turly such a good teen take on Raphael with not making anger his core trait. Instead more his like for violence if aything. And the show just gave me more to love about him.

✍ Favorite thing about writing the muse?

Mostly taking the traits of Raph and placing them in a highschool setting. Making Raph a jock but more of an outsider and not so much the kind that falls into the popular crowd. Not that I couldn’t see that for Raph esp with cut stuff that was planned forthe movie. But I like to say it’s because he befriended Casey that he sort of found his place through his friendship there istead of solelyy through is team mates. It’s just fun getting to play with those ideas and tropes when it comes to thisRaph and course myy head cannons getting through in there as well.

👀Favorite thing about the muse’s appearance?

Adding answers for both movie and the series.

I like Raph getting to have the more durag going on for his mask since Rise, seeing it even being used in the Fornight skin and the naruto comic cros over. I have always loved when they give Raph tattered mask tails because it just fits his reckless behaviours to show that in his desing Raph having the durag for his mask I feel really ets his desing apart more so by fulling covering his head this way since they are a good thing to use to protect one’s head. Raph’s blad so hair won’t play a part here but for wind and sun on his head. With how brash Raph is? It just fits. The movie also has raph covered in all these scars on his plastron and has the buckel on his belt being all messed up too. Selling more of the idea Raph jumps into fights uncaring about the results of how he comes out from them he just wants to fight.

The show dose take a lot of the desing awayy bu seeing how pretty sure the show was made to be more for Shorts? I don’t hold it against them. They still kept Raph having a bulky build and being a bit taller than his brothers. Raph feeds into being big he works out and even makes use of muscle build powders. I feel Rah really plays into being the biggest and strongest and like relies on this even.

🌌Favorite alternate version of the muse?

none exsist at this time.

💕Favorite ship for the muse? 

many uwu

Of course Rasey, I just love the dyynmaic of your MM Caseyy and Raphael. These two hated each other then became the othrs most trust confidenat. They are oka lowering thier walls around each other. Casey let Raph see who he is, a big softie uwu Raph has even done the same letting Caseyy see just how much he dose in fact care about things like his family. They even slowly break those barries more and more by showing nothing is ever too muh for them. With Raph it was when Caseyy was dealing with his grief of his dad and tried pushing Raph awayy. For Casey I feel it’s safe t say when they started to get physical and Raph was worried that hisbeing a turtle would be too freaky for Casey. Even with th current stuff going on for them I feel like these two keep showing theyy always will be there and when things are tough? They will be there even more

Of course

RaphDon, uwu I love my raphdon so much ;3; the brains and brawn duo but you got the addtion of the nerd and the jock with these two here. I like to think of Raph having a speical soft spot ofr Donnie. S he’s just alwayys just hanging around Donnie however he is able to make happen like spending time in the tent with Donnie or watching anime with him even if he finds most of it lame uwu

If you follow my twiter you know im big on RaphLeo right now too uwu

💔Least favorite ship for the muse?

ehh I don’t got one XD it’s pretty much just the 3 i love and that’s it pfft

💢Something about the muse that annoys you?

is it bad to say nothing XD Cause I love him too much to be annoyed by him uwu thats my son ;3;

😈Worst thing you’ve ever done to your muse? 

I feel i haven’t even scratched the surface yet. But currently i’ll say his realtionship issues with Casey. Everytime these two make a good step forward I feel I find something to pull them down uwu. Raph was pretty quick to hope into a relationship with Casey and he has no experince what so ever here unlike Casey who has had at least a girlfriend before Raphael. Though this hasn’ come up in a meaningful way. There was Raph shutting casey out because he was worried his turtle dick would werid Casey out. There was his jeaously for Canada XD his kind of friendship with Hun as well. Casey turly been the answer to Raph’s biggests questions in life. So, another that sort of tampers with that relationship? I feel will always hit that much harder for the two of them uwu

And maybe when I killed him that one time by having him be suashed by super uper fly XD

😂Funniest thing that’s ever happened to your muse? 

mmmmm Im gonna pick the time Raph told Donnie about Casey litterally coming out to him and Raph just thinking it was some dumb joke and not well Casey ya know cming out to him only for Donnie to stare at him dead panned and explain hat Casey was trying to tell Raph he’s gay and liekly did it that way to make it not so stressful or something XD It’s just funny to me cause Donnie couldn’t even fucking tell he basically had a girlfriend but could point out that Raph was being a dick of a friend by basically laughing at Casey when they told him they were gay in some wayy XD

Also the time Raph caught caseyy smooking weed. Cause Casey thought Raph would ra him out XD

💡 What inspires you to write the muse? 

XD I feel the nswer always the same? Just ya know when i got the drive for it?

📷 Favorite picture/screencap of your muse?

;3; this hug so good and I feel really shows how much Raph care’s about his family ;3;

📑 Favorite part of your muse’s backstory? 

I wanna go with his relationship with Donnie. I like that Raph has alwayys sort of taken a part in thing’s that Donnie likes he might not get it all the time but I like to think he’s part of the reason Donnie has th stickers on his bo staff cause Raph saw them and grabbed them for Donnie. I just love making his friendship with Dnnie like a basis to what fourm and shapped Raph into who heis. He takes investments into others and also deeply cares about the well being of those who matter to him. He can be harsh but deep dwn he cares he just gotta be cool and caring aint cool uwu

I love the way he seems to be working on his angery with Splinter. Splinter seems very involved with it compared to other versions. Where 03 wanted him to learn how todo it himself. And gave him that space. 12 was not equiped to handle it. MM Splinter really tries his best to help Raph out helping im with breathing and medation often if Raph has no other options so he knows poor Raph has his own ways but he’ll still offer help ;3;

📝 Favorite headcanon for your muse? 

Raphael see’s the school consoulers a few time a eek during school. He is techincally on a bahavioral plan as well because of his temper flares, which is why he has to see the consuler do mental health check ins so to speak. He’s only ever told Casey about it not even his brothers know.

Raphael loves sports animes, he finds the connections between teammate more investing than compare to Shouen animes. His favorites are Free!!! Yuri on Ice and Hakyuu!!

Raphael tends to go to Beepbop and Rocksteady when he’s having relationship issues because well he kind of would like him and Casey to be an ld gay married couple as well

Raphael’s fried groups ends up consisting of Casey, Von and Donnie. This is like his main friend group mind you who he spends all his time with. Of course, he hangs out with Leo and Mike and his teammates as well but these three who he spends time with outside of school even. After Casey and Von gradurate he dosen’t really have a main hang out gropu he DOSE sort of hang around Hun but its mostly because he claims to not trust the guy.

This is why he joins the anime club XD

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore? 

hmmmm I dunno if there is anything?

🔮 What do you see in your muse’s future? 

hmmm I like to think Raph will ontuine with wresting become a top alethtic at school. and take the team to championships. I like to think Raph never considered collage till he got offered scholarships. He may least look to go to community college at best I can only see Raph getting a general education in college, maybe he’ll keep working with Beepbop and Roccksteady moving company for a few years till getting a job at a gym as a personal trainer. of course, Raphael likes to think Casey will always be a part of it as well hes dumb enough to thik they mightmove in together one day and maybe get married even. Being roommates at least i his main step mark in thier relationship in his mind though.

🔥 Unpopular opinion about your muse? 

Props that I don’t think he got a better treatment in the movie comapred to mikey and Donnie I feel Raph personitly just let him stand out better. I agree the movie focused far more on Leo and I feel this is why the turtles seem at thier best when they are all together because they dont really let the thr 3 shine on thier own or have that same focal point as Leo gets in the movie. Like a drive and such it’s really just them following the plans Leo’ gives.

💭 Favorite memory of the muse?

It’s gotta be when Casey first kissed Raphael and told Raph heliked him uwu. Raphael was busy feeling like a jerk the whole time he just didn’t want to lose out on his only real friend so having Casey smash his mouth to his own and admit they had romantic feelings for Raphael. Which helped Raph understand his own feelings for Casey as well. Raphael didn’t even relieaze he was gay untile that moment since well how would he really even explore that? Raphael was fallingfor casey and had no idea till that kiss uwu which is why Raph asks if they can kiss again uwu

 

😩 Hardest thing about writing the muse? 

I don’t find raph hard to write at all uwu he’s my son and i aore him.

⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse? 

XD all the things we have talked about of course, the VOn and Casey graduation archs and everything that comes after that. Like Von moving away I like to think Raph writes her letters uwu and Casey being jeloaus about Hun and Raph having to deal with that not understandinng its all about Casey’s abandoment issues. And Raph join the anime club with Donnie uwu

🎭 How similar are you and the muse? 

mmmm I don’t feel i have much in common with this raph if i am honest outside the being an outcast kid in high school. But thats the closest I can go with because Raph’s like the cool outcast kid and not the emo kind I was XDD

At Largashbur

Atub: The ritual requires Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart, so I may commune with Malacath.

Morana: *pulls Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart out of her satchel* Here you go.

Atub: Oh- You- you have that ready to go. How nice.

Xelzaz: We are Alchemists. Such ingredients are a necessity.

Atub: I see. Well then, follow me. You've brought the ingredients for the ceremony, and now I ask that you see it through.

Xelzaz: Why though-

Morana: Hm.. *notices Yaksha trailing behind a bit, looking dazed. Stops so he can catch up and pokes his shoulder to get his attention* ... Are you okay?

Yaksha: Hm? Yes, I am fine.

Morana: I can imagine strongholds aren't very comfortable for you. Was there anything like this in High Rock?

Yaksha: There were Orc Strongholds in High Rock. I.. was a healer for one.

Morana: Does it make you miss your home?

Yaksha: ... It is not a home anymore. But I do miss it.

Morana: I feel the same. I'm sorry. We'll try to get this over with quickly, alright?

Yaksha: *smiles, waving off her concerns with a shrug* We can take however long it takes to get this done. Please pay no mind.

Morana: Still..

~One ritual later~

Yamarz: Grr.. This is all your fault, you know.

Morana: Excuse me?

Yamarz: You barged into our stronghold, brought your whole clan of outsiders with you..

Morana: *glances back at her team with a frown* I was under the impression we were helping you. I apologize if we cause any offense-

Yamarz: And to top it all off you brought a worthless wimp of an Orc with you.

Morana: ... I'm sorry, who exactly are you referring to?

Yamarz: Who else? *points at Yaksha with a grunt* He's absolutely pathetic. Wields no weapon, avoids conflict, and picks flowers like a real Orc would pick off enemy heads. Don't think I didn't notice how he stayed away from the giant when you lot fought it off.

Morana: ... Yaksha is a healer. He doesn't like fighting.

Yamarz: Ha! Healer?! Healing is a woman's job! And what sort of Orc doesn't like fighting, the coward!

Morana: *her charcoal snaps between her fingers* ... Is that so.

Yamarz: It's Orcs like him that make Malacath so angry, really. Pathetic creatures that can't even lift a dagger in self defense don't deserve to call themselves Orsimer.

Yaksha: Hm? *turns and looks for Morana, noticing her still talking to Yamarz* ...?

Morana: *glances over at Yaksha*

Yaksha: ...! *waves sweetly, smiling*

Morana: ..... *reaches and yanks Yamarz down by the neck of his armor, leaning in and whispering in his ear quietly* Listen to me and listen well, Yamarz.

Yamarz: ?! What is the meaning of this-?? Let go of me!

Morana: Yaksha is the most talented, kind, empathetic person I have ever met. His healing would save thousands more lives than your lack of brains and surplus of brawn ever would. His clan thrived under his care, while yours suffers at your lack.

Yamarz: ...

Morana: One of you is the worse Orc, and it sure as hell is not him. And if you ever disrespect my friend again, I will brew a poison so strong, your intestines will recoil and expel themselves from your body, allowing you to learn what it feels like to vomit your own guts. I will allow you to choke on them and take pleasure in watching your slow and miserably painful death. Do I make myself clear?

Yamarz: *sweating, visibly afraid of the little Dunmer* ... Whatever.

Morana: Hmph. *releases him, turning and walking back towards the group without a second glance*

Yaksha: Are you alright, Morana? You seemed very angry just now.

Morana: *smiles, shaking her head to reassure him* Yamarz is a very mean person. He's irritating to have to talk to.

Yaksha: Mm..

Morana: Shall we set off for Fallowstone Cave, then?

Xelzaz: No? Why are we even helping him??

Morana: ...

Xelzaz: Morana?

Morana: Let's just follow along for now.

~

At Fallowstone Cave...

Yamarz: *watching the giants swarming the shrine nervously* ... You know..

Morana: *perched in a tree above him* Hm.

Yamarz: ... I have another offer for you. Some good gold in it, if you do. Go up there and retrieve that club for me. The stronghold would never know I never got it.

Morana: ... *shakes her head, a quiet huff of a laugh escaping her* No way.

Yamarz: Huh? Why not?

Morana: Putting my previous threat aside-

Kaidan: Threat???

Inigo: I'll tell you later.

Morana: -I will not go against what your God has ordered. Daedric Prince or not, Malacath or Trinimac, I have no wish to anger any sort of divine or hellbound being. You kill those giants on your own, or die trying.

Yamarz: ... Hmph. Fine. You just wait here, then. This will only take a moment. *draws his weapon and charges towards the giants with a battle cry, instantly getting launched into the air by their clubs*

Team Dragonborn: *watches him get launched, and follows his descent as he plummets back towards the ground and dies*

Morana: ... Welp. At least he wasn't lying when he said it would be quick. Inigo, may I borrow your bow?

Inigo: Of course, my friend. Er, but.. Can you-

Morana: I'll be fine. I know how to shoot at the very least, and it only needs to be strong enough to pierce their skin. *reaches down and takes the bow from Inigo along with a few ebony arrows, taking the tips of them and dousing them in a sizzling liquid*

Xelzaz: What on earth is that?

Morana: Take a guess.

Xelzaz: *hisses, recoiling at the smell* Jarrin root.

Morana: Yep. *draws an arrow, the other pinched between her fingers for the next shot. Fires, lodging the arrow in the biggest giant's neck and watching as it falls to the ground instantly*

Lucien: ... That stuff really is terrifying.

Inigo: Not as terrifying as Morana when she's angry, I think.

Since it seems like our dear Michael will be getting more attention in MM the show you think we get to see his bond with all three bros. I personally was hoping we get more brains and brawns I loved Donnie and raph in the 03 I am not sure if you talked about them.

whilst i imagine tottmnt will equally share out screen time between the brothers, i hope mikey’s arc and plot lines are given as much weight and severity than other plot lines in other iterations. mikey deserves it!!!

AND YES TO THE BRAINS AND BRAWN DUO!!! the 2k3 don + raph duo is so important to me.. they’re twins. they’re best friends. they’re so silly together. raph indulges his little brothers so much and don has such a good sense of humour with him. i imagine they like to tease leo together and gang up a little on mikey because they’re Middle Siblings and they are the worst lmao

About my request, Jiro’s part where he said ‘bro’ to himself is killing me. LMAO 😭

This is exactly what I had in mind! I just thought it would be so funny if, after a fight, their s/o tries to start a conversation without dropping their pride, so they use some random excuse just to talk to their bf again. And your fic is so good! Jiro’s still my favorite part because he’s just so silly in the cutest way possible.

And poor Saburo has to hear Jiro bragging all about it later. I can just imagine him replying so annoyed.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You sure are proud of yourself, because using strength is the only thing you're actually good at.”

– 🌸

I’m glad you loved it sm!! And I’m glad it was exactly what you thought 🫶💕 I remember getting the request the day before an exam and had to force myself to focus bc I so badly wanted to start writing it right away lol. But it was such a cute and funny request; I had sm fun writing it!! Exactly as you said it’s just so cute that you make up some excuse just to talk again but a part of them is a little confused bc idk they’re a bit awkward and dumb destroys my heart mm.. I’m such a sucker for yearning boys. (also I have such a soft spot for Jiro which is more than obvious atp :’) they were all my favorite to write but.. yeah lmao)

loll pleasee Saburo would so say that 😭 Jiro is all brawn, no brain (and maybe Jiro flusters and retorts back something like ‘o-oi, I’m good at being a boyfriend!! ..sometimes’. idkk lol). But I like to think deep down, Sabu is relieved you two made up bc he couldn’t bear Jiro moping around anymore.
