I ACCIDENTLY HEARD THIS SONG AND MADE IT IN THREE HOURS ON THE POWER OF EMOTIONS BECAUSE IT WAS PERFECT FOR WHAT THE HELL??? I'M SORRY @somerandomdudelmao for calling you so much BUT OH MY GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME Song: Emilie Autumn - Nothing

[birch-branches]

My Leo playlists do actually have a lot of Mountain Goats songs in it

I was looking at the Future April concept art & I noticed that in the concept art she switches from her bat to Donnie’s tech-bo

Which makes me think that Future April really did start using Donnie’s tech-bo as a way to remember him

[birch-branches]

Ohh wow!

What a ride 😅

Summary:

[birch-branches]

Leo, about to do something risky: I’m doing this and neither you, Splinter, or even god himself can stop me.

Donnie: 

Donnie: *takes out his phone and starts tapping*

Leo: 

Leo: Don.

Leo, nervously: Donnie. What are you doing.

Donnie: 

Leo, starting to sweat: What the hell did you do, Donatello.

Donnie: 

Usagi, suddenly appearing from a portal: LEONARDO 

Leo: OH GOD I AM SO FUCKED

usagi

when wet

becomes

usoggy

-leo actually

This genuinely made me laugh when I saw it.

That is the exact sort of dumb joke Leo would make.

It defiantly come after Usagi get caught in the rain or goes for an unexpected swim. He’s cold, wet and over it. He’s finally back with his boyfriend and hoping for some cuddles and sympathy.

What does he get instead. Usoggy.

I love it

how does usagi, katsuichi, and tomoe ame react to leo’s score of 11, leo’s murder spree, and leo winning the games

Leo’s score

They are impressed/shocked.

It’s rare for anyone to score that high

District 12 has never scored that high.

They have no idea why or how he got that score. What secret skills he has. They have been watching all of the tributes trying to come up with strategies for their kids but Leo had never seemed like a threat.

He is now

They tell their kids to avoid him. The 11 could be from survival skills but most likely at that high of a number it was from combat skills.

Later on once the games are over Usagi can think about how impressive that score was and how talented Leo is with duel blades. But those are thoughts for after Leo wins the games not before, not when there as two kids Usagi’s trying to keep alive.

The murder spree.

I just wrote about this but I’m going to make Leo’s allie come from district 10.

A young 13 year oils boy named Rakuyou

He is one of Usagi, Tomoe Ame and Katsuichi’s tributes

When Leo first finds the boy they are all certain it’s over for the young boy. He’s already injured and Leo is an unknown and dangerous tribute.

Instead Leo helps the boy out. He endears himself to all three victors. Leo gains nothing from helping the boy. Killing him after all that hard work would just make Leo look cruel and monstrous to the people of the capital. He endears himself more when he takes the kid under his wing.

They had all had to kill young kids or watch them die in their own games. They all wished they could have helped the younger kids like Leo is doing. If their 13 year old can’t win Leo wouldn’t be a bad victor to have among them.

Then Rakuyou dies. They all knew it was going to happen. Usagi won at 14 and Casey at 13 but that was with massive capital support and or years of prior training. Rakuyou had none of that. The boy didn’t stand a chance and if Leo hadn’t found him and helped him he would have died much sooner

They think they’re about to watch Leo die as well but he stays back until the careers leave. He has a small burial for Rakuyou. Nothing the size or scale of what Raph would do but it is the precursor. The first time someone mourned a different district.

Then he’s on the hunt.

He goes after careers and careers along.

Usagi and Tomoe Ame think they are going to watch him die but Katsuichi’s been at this a while. He can recognize a man on a mission.

Leo starts taking them out one by one. Usagi and Tomoe ame are equal parts impressed and disturbed. The Leo they and watched up until this point was gentle now he taking kids out left and right. They know it’s necissary. It’s how they won their games. But it’s still jarring to watch and they barely know Leo.

Katusichi is not ShopRite’s though he is saddened that the games claimed another gentle soul to their blood lust.

Or had they

Leo stops.

Leo stops when the last career falls. He doesn’t hunt down the other tributes. There’s no point they didn’t kill his friend.

Katsuichi’s shocked. He’s never seen anyone stop after a rampage like that. Usagi and Tomoe Ame don’t know what to think. Leo should keep going. He should keep fighting like this and win. Not sit down and wait for the enviable.

Leo’s victory

On one hand Leo’s spree plays into the districts being savage, on the other his stopping makes it very clear. He was avenging a little boy who died to soon. He is a capital favorite. He was charming in interviews. He made a splash in the parade. The capital people love him.

While president saki doesn’t like Leo’s morning of another tribute Leo still fits the role of victor well. He’s a savage. He also looks so broken by the death of his friend and his own actions. He doesn’t mind letting Leo win if Leo can survive

The game makes need the games to end, Leo’s not hunting and the other tributes are hiding, so they force a disaster. They flood the arena. Leo, a red ear slider, is the best swimmer in the group.

To Katsuichi this is the game makers letting the capital favorite win. It’s happened before. That doesn’t mean he’s not impressed by Leo’s performance. Leo is scarily comps dent in combat yet he choice to help another tribute. Katsuichi’s will remember that. He will remember that Leo tried to help his tribute. And he will repay the favor

Tomoe ame is surprised by the victory. He is the first victor from 12 ever. But she’s surprised he had the strength to swim. After his rampage he seemed to just give up.

Usagi is glad he won. If it couldn’t be one of his own tributes that won at least Leo seems to have some honor to him.

Leo seems dazed in his post interview. He gets the reputation of being a little crazy. He’s still charming and appealing but every now and then this haunted look over takes his face. It’s very prominent in the post interview.

None of them get to actually speak to Leo h til his victory tour and the next year tribute parade.

I just read this fic and it is a criminal offense that more people haven't seen this.

Please read it, it's long but it's so worth it. If you like Leo and Yuichi it is so worth reading. They are so soft and sweet together.

[birch-branches]

They’re back :)

DONA is the 3/4 model in the collection of Vasity Jackets, inspired by Rise!TMNT

Store link: https://ko-fi.com/sopafloal/shop

It's a soft shell! It's a soft shell! A soft shell turtle!

I searched and searched and made a thousand and one designs for Donatello. And after hundreds of failed attempts (since the back design looked like a damn Pop-tart) I decided to put Donatello and the Purple Dragons in a blender to get: THIS

Tech geniuses team up with our favorite Hot cake-turtle, because let's be honest. Donnie looked really comfy wearing that jacket. And he deserves to have it.

So give this little guy a warm welcome, and reserve your model!

We ship to USA, Latin America and Canada. The order will be made to pre-sale, reserve your model in my Ko-Fi store from 1 - April - 2023.

Stay tuned to see the rest of the designs!

And support me on Ko-Fi to make this project come true!
