Are there any Leosagi fics where Donny gives Usagi the 'Shovel talk'?

Like I now that Don and Usagi are on like better terms after they fight the ninjas

But like, I've never seen Donnie be this passive aggressive towards anyone before

and it's hilarious, so leosagi community please recommend some fics

But if there isn't Rise and 2012 Leoichi is fine too!

The shredder

[avantorcastell]

Lil' au

So, In this au. Instead of the shredder throwing Leo through the window. He decides to brainwash him into a loyal foot soldier.

Based of the city fall arc in the idw comics

My interpretation of what could happen if the arc was transferred to 2012.

So Stockman uses The technology provided by the Krang to wipe out any of Leo's memories before he met the Shredder.

The Shredder ordered stockman to keep all his interests and personality intact. So that when Splinter and the turtles would come. Leo wouldn't be different and easy to dissosociate with the old him. No, he would be the exact same. To twist the knife even more.

Tigerclaw ends up growing soft and protective of the turtle, and starts acting like his elder brother.

This is an angst moment right now after Leo accidentally killed someone.

You know those videos where babies—where a baby usually 1'-2 years old are shown baking cakes or setting up events using photoshop or doll hands.

My little sister (3 yrs old) saw a mothers day video of this where the kid was making cakes and setting up decorations. she was so amazed—because a kid younger than her could do this stuff .

Then she went to our mom, showed her the video and, in absolute seriousness, said, "Mama, buy this baby"

And my mom was like okay?

After that my mom came up to me and told me that my sister was as lazy as me

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

First attempt drawing them. I would've made blu bigger but Alas.

A fight happened with c-21 and Blu fell off a high place and Mole caught him...

Different sentence structures and the vibes they can achieve

1. Short, choppy sentences

Excellent for creating tension, urgency, or drama because they speed up the pacing and convey intense emotion.

She said no. I didn’t listen. I should have.

2. Long, flowing sentences

These are great for descriptions, adding detail, and explanations. They can create an intellectual or reflective vibe—or even a dreamy one. You can also use them to evoke a sense of being overwhelmed. They slow the pacing, add complexity, and help build tension. But once you're in the thick of a tense moment, it's often better to switch back to short sentences to keep the energy up.

As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting a golden sheen across the cracked pavement, she stood there, unsure of what she was waiting for—only that something, anything, had to change.

3. Fragmented sentences

These give off a casual, stylized, and emotional tone. They're perfect for internal monologue and mimicking the way we actually think or speak.

Not the way I planned. Not even close. But here we are.

4. Repetitive structure

They add drama, rhythm, and emotional intensity. It's a powerful stylistic tool that can drive a point home.

She wanted peace. She wanted quiet. She wanted to forget.

5. Inverted or unusual word order

If you're aiming for a formal, archaic, or poetic tone, this structure will get you there.

Gone was the light from his eyes.

6. Interruptions (em dashes or parentheses)

If you're going for a conversational, conflicted, or stream-of-consciousness vibe—even something humorous if used right—interruptions are your friend. They mimic how we speak and think in real time.

I was going to tell her—God, I really was—but I couldn’t.

7. Questions

Questions are fantastic for showing uncertainty, anxiety, or inner conflict. They can also give off a philosophical tone and invite reflection from both the character and the reader.

What if I never make it out? What if this is it?

The man

A man who could so easily kill you, torture you until death. Lulls you into eating his food.

For what need is there to tamper.

You eat the first bite, savoring it deeply, then start gorging on the rest like a ravenous pig. Your appetite is insatiable. You're starved.

But after a while, you start feeling dizzy and nauseous, your limbs feel weak, like a puppeteer has let go of the strings. And there he stands, laughing at you. Enjoying every moment. It was never about killing you swiftly. He wanted to see you suffer and, at last, finally drop your guard and give in to temptation. A gift from your captor that you accepted oh so graciously. His laughter echoes in your mind until your last breath.
