The platonic Leo request got me thinking…

What if, in a romantic scenario of Donnie x reader where they’re Leo’s best friend? Donnie falling for the idiot and reader is the idiot, wingman Leo let’s go.

OOH I LOVE THIS IDEA! Sorry it took me so long, life's been hectic. Warnings: fem reader, she/her pronouns used. Word Count: 1.3k

BAD DIRECTIONS (Rise! Donnie/Reader)

She was convinced that Leo did not in fact live in the sewers, but instead, that his home was a labyrinth that had her completely turned around and lost. Leonardo had given her what had sounded like clear directions to the bathroom, but evidently were not clear enough. She was just about to cave and call Leonardo, when a voice made her pause.

“Hello?” Came from behind her. She turned, to find a turtle standing in the hallway a few feet away from her. She didn’t know Leonardo’s brothers very well, only having spoken to them shortly and infrequently, and not seeing much of them as most of the time she spent with Leo was at her place. Despite the unfamiliarity, if the amount of purple he wore wasn’t a dead giveaway, the various tech he carried on his person definitely was.

“Oh, hi!” She said, slightly startled. “Uhh… Donnie, right?” He nodded in response.

“You’re Leo’s friend, right?” He said their name. She nodded, just the same as he did. “What are you doing just hanging out in the hallway? Did Leo ditch you? That ass.” Donnie said, falling into a slight ramble.

“Oh, no, no, no! He didn’t ditch me.” She said. “I just, um, well, it’s kind of embarrassing, but I got a little lost on my way to the bathroom.” She explained. “I was just about to call him.” Don let out a slight snort, and turned around, starting to walk away.

“Follow me.” Was all he said, not waiting for her to hurry to catch up to him. He led her through twisting, confusing hallways that she did her best to memorize, so as to not get lost again. His strides were long, and she somewhat struggled to keep up. Finally he stopped beside a door, and turned to her. “Here it is.”

“Oh! Thank you!” She said. Don made a soft affirmative hum and began to take a few steps, so she entered the bathroom. When she emerged, she found Donnie standing a few feet away, leaning against the wall scrolling on his phone. At hearing the door swing open, he looked up, and tucked his phone into his pocket. She was evidently confused by the fact that he was still there, and quirked an eyebrow up. Before she could question him, he spoke up.

“Go back in and wash your hands again.” He said, deadpanned and serious.

“I- What? I just did.” She responded.

“Yes, for thirteen seconds, which is insufficient. You should wash for at least twenty seconds to prevent illness. Sing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice.” Flabbergasted, she reentered the bathroom, and rewashed her hands, taking care to intentionally sing obnoxiously loud.

“Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday,

Dear Donnie~

Happy Birthday to you!”

With the door being open, there was no resistance for the sound to reach his ears, and he let out a small snort, musing to himself what perfect sense her and Leo’s friendship made. It was endearing to him, in a strange way, her act. And it was slightly frustrating that he knew the same amusement would not be present if it were his brother doing the very same act, instead of the cute girl he was always talking about. From how often Leo spoke about her, Donnie felt like he had already known her well, for quite some time, even though they had not spoken to each other more than four separate times. And deep down, in a part of him that he shoved every thought that he didn’t feel fully prepared to acknowledge or process, there was stored a feeling of slight jealousy surrounding Leo and his best friend. She was clearly quite the character, and Donnie had found himself drawn to her, wishing that perhaps he could grow close to her as well. She had begun to sing the song for a second time.

“Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday-“

“My birthday isn’t for another four months.” Donnie interjected, correcting her.

“Dear Donnie~

Happy – four month early- Birthday to you!”

She had dragged out the last syllable of his name in her song, and had switched from singing to speaking when she said “four month early,” before switching back to singing for the rest of the song. He smiled slightly, and breathed out a silent laugh as he shook his head, which she, luckily for him, did not witness as she was preoccupied drying off her hands. Walking out, she held her hands out to him, palms up.

“Do they meet your standards, oh Lord of Proper Hygiene?” He glanced down at her hands for a moment, and gave a curt nod.

“Yes, they do, Oh Lady of Unnecessary Sass.” She gave a small giggle, that he generously returned. As their laughs quieted, a short silence fell over the two of them as they looked at one another. It did not turn awkward until after a few seconds, after which Donnie coughed to clear his throat, and turned away. “Do you know the way back to Leo’s room?” Her eyes widened, and her cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment.

“Oh, um, no.” He laughed lightly, genially, and motioned with his head for her to follow him.

“I’ll walk you back.”

The journey to Leo’s room didn’t take more than two and a half minutes, but it was filled with conversation that flowed smoothly and naturally. The pair found themselves standing outside of Leo’s door far too soon for either of their liking, but reluctantly, they pulled their conversation to an end, regardless.

“Thanks again for helping me, I know it was a pretty stupid situation on my part.” She giggled to try to mask just how deep her embarrassment ran. He offered her a smile softer than he willingly would to most others he didn’t know all that well, and reassured her.

“The lair was specifically designed to be labyrinthian and confusing, in case any of our enemies were to find it, the odds were against you from the start.” Just as they were about to say their goodbyes, the door swung open, and Leo stood in the entryway with a ridiculously smug look on his face.

“God!” Leo gasped, as if in pain. “That took you ages!” His words were directed at her. “You have got to cut down on the Starbucks.” Her mouth dropped, and fire filled her eyes as she jumped at Leo, swatting at his head.

“Leo, I’m gonna fucking kill you!!” His laughter resounded throughout the room and hallway as they play-fought. When the fight had finished, with Leo yelling,

“Uncle! Uncle!” As she sat atop his shell, beating his head with a pillow, she had turned to the doorway, only to find Donnie had disappeared. It was then, almost as if on cue, that her phone pinged in her pocket. She dropped the pillow, and pulled out her phone. She had received a text from an unsaved number. Opening it up, she found several images had been sent to her, all maps and schematics of varying complexities. After staring for a moment, she put the pieces together and realized that they all depicted the lair. Three bouncing dots appeared at the bottom of the screen, android then she received another text.

Unknown: If the maps are insufficient, and you find yourself lost again, feel free to contact me. -Donatello.

A small smile graced her face as she stared typed a response.

YN: Considering my serious lack of direction and spatial awareness, I’ll probably take you up on that. Thanks, Donnie c:

She was broken out of the spell by Leo’s voice from beneath her.

“So,” He began, dragging out the word. “You and Donnie, huh?” He teased, winking at her, and it hit her.

“Oh my god! You gave me bad directions on purpose!” She screeched, and reached for the pillow again, resuming her assault.

Relationship status: Romantic

A/N: The idea for this story I had for a couple of months, and only now managed to bring it to life. It didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but it's pretty close. Also, today is my birthday. Yay...

Enjoy

"What do you think, huh?!"

[Y.N] expelled a breath as she was pushed with rough gentleness into the center of a small private bedroom. Her brows remained unmoved, teeth clenched in anger.

"What's your problem, Leo?!" she responded with a question, straightening up to face the mutated turtle who forcefully closed the door, seemingly hurting it more than her.

Not sure what was going on, but not an idiot, she had her suspicions.

"Another base got attacked," Draxum said in a tone of indifference, but his old face betrayed considerable pain. "They're all gone."

The group gathered in the main room of the base under New York, or rather its rubble, expressed a collective murmur of additional words of disbelief or mourning; even if they didn't know these people, they were in the same position, knowing what they felt.

"What do we do now, Leonardo?" April asked, only showing furrowed brows. "It's only a matter of time before the Kraang and others attack us." Her words were logical, especially knowing how cruel and ruthless the aliens were, even to their own. Her chocolate eyes often noticed exhausted brains, dying from exhaustion, in their torturous work.

The turtle's eyes twitched slightly, probably not having slept all night, contemplating all of this since Donatello left. He had not only the planning on his mind but also the entire base's technology. He felt he was slowly losing control, but he couldn't show weakness, not now, not ever. "We'll have to boost the security and fuses; we can't afford them burning out during a potential attack," he said, adjusting his blue scarf. When was the last time he washed it? With a low water supply, laundry had become the worst option.

"Forgive me, leader," the dark eyes of the redearslicer rested on the slightly taller figure who raised his hand to stand out from the crowd. Ah, one of those geniuses who worked with his twin brother. You could see red eyes on the mutant—was it from fatigue or tears shed for a lost person? "But we'll need to conduct further reconnaissance to gather new materials for such an upgrade. Currently, we're lacking many things."

"Right..." Leonardo mumbled quietly, uncomfortably shifting his gaze. "So, we'll do it tonight."

"Yeah! Another round of taking down those damn meatbags!" Cassandra exclaimed joyfully, raising her hands with her wild gaze. Numerous deep scars adorned her bare shoulders, complementing simple childish drawings made by her son.

"However, many of ours were severely beaten last time; they're still in the infirmary wing," the African American woman pointed out sharply, crossing her arms. "We need to wait at least a week to carry out such an action safely!"

Leo had a strong urge to respond sarcastically to these objections but bit his tongue, not wanting to get into another argument.

"Well, then...!"

"I have an idea for a potential solution." All eyes turned again to the older goat when he spoke.

"What is it?" Leonardo's voice resonated lightly. He felt relieved that someone as intelligent as Draxum had an idea, but also uneasy, knowing his past.

"We'll use my mutagen to strengthen our power."

The turtle's pupils narrowed at the sound of his second 'father's' words. It was... unimaginable! "W-what?" he stammered, taking a step forward to stabilize his posture. "Use the mutagen? That damn slime?" He didn't want to use such strong words, but his shock exceeded his manners.

Baron Draxum cleared his throat, ignoring the term for his experiment. "I believe it's the best course of action in this situation. Analyzing past events and the likelihood of future ones, we need a survival factor."

Leonardo took in stale air, waiting for further elaboration on this idea. Why did he still feel uneasy hearing this?

"So, people would have to take the right dose of this green liquid to transform into the appropriate Yokai."

"That sounds absurd," the red-faced one acknowledged, placing a hand on his hip. "It's dangerous, especially in these conditions."

"I don't deny it, but I think it could eliminate most diseases for which we no longer have a cure." "And after failed attacks, people could have a better chance of defense and faster regeneration depending on the mutants they transform into. You know that well, Leonardo." The turtle automatically felt a tingling on his shell in places where previous wounds had faded over time.

"... Still, it sounds wrong." But why? Why do you think that way? Is it your current mindset, or is it from years ago?

"But... Draxum is right," April admitted, walking to stand beside the goat. "Without it, our chance of survival is low."

"Wait...!"

"We can test it today; I need at least one volunteer."

Everyone glanced at the person next to them, waiting for any reaction. Well, no one is deciding; it will be fine...!

"I... I volunteer." Leonardo's eyes widened as he noticed his partner, who, despite holding a box, raised her hand. There was determination on her face.

"You're being unreasonable!" Although Leo's voice usually had a light tone, at this moment, it was deep and aggressive. The fact that he strongly gestured with his only arm didn't help. "Agreeing to something like this? Are you insane?"

"Leon, listen!"

"No 'listen'!" The man snarled, approaching his beloved, causing an odd dominance. "What you've decided is utterly idiotic!"

"No, it's not. I'm just considering the well-being of the rest!" The woman held her ground, taking a step forward and delicately touching her chest to her fiancé's. Her eyes were sharp, causing a slight embarrassment in Leonardo's mind. He didn't usually behave this way, but he let his emotions take over.

"All that will result from this is total chaos and pain!"

"As if there isn't chaos and pain right now!" She emphasized, gesturing as well. She felt the pressure in her head increasing, and the hope for calming down diminishing. "You need to take a breath and think about it rationally, Leo."

"Ohohoho! Sure!" His tone became more mocking, and he started to pace, adding drama. "I've known that lunatic much longer than you. I know the messed-up things he's done! And you want that green crap to flow through your veins? You should have higher standards!"

"Apparently, I don't, since I chose you, someone who has the same thing in their body!"

A sharp intake of air escaped the turtle as he stood still. His face showed wounded pride, not from his fiancée's words but from his logical error. Fool.

After a moment, [Y.N] took a breath, wanting to calm down. "Leonardo, listen." Her smaller hands moved gracefully, as if she were trying to tame a wild animal that no longer existed in these times. "Draxum is right. Thanks to this slime, most of us will have a better chance of survival."

"That doesn't change the fact that it's total nonsense," the man muttered quietly, burying his chin further into the blue fabric. "Something like this is incredibly painful for an ordinary person, especially in circumstances where there's hunger, filth, death..." His voice slowly broke. Before, he didn't care much about humans; their rescue was just an addition to victory when he fought. But now? Especially since his dearest person is one of them?

"Leon, tell me directly what's going on."

"I feel awful," Leonardo began, letting his crystalline tears flow. "My brothers, Raph and Donnie... I couldn't save them...!" Before he realized it, he tightly embraced the woman, who motherly patted his shoulder or shell. "And even earlier, Dad..." pain "You don't even know how much I wish this invasion didn't happen, that everything was normal." "Or not to get used to every current situation; it hurts so much when everything 'falls into place,' and suddenly something crumbles or someone dies!"

"I understand you, that's why this mutation is needed."

"No, you don't understand..." his whisper pierced [Y.N]'s ears. He pulled away slightly from her silhouette to look into her [COLOR] eyes. "I don't want any changes because it's all I have when it comes to a connection with a normal past." His hand gently caressed the cheek of the person in front of him. "The fact that you're human reminds me of good times, of safety. If that disappears..."

A sense of guilt lingered in both of their hearts. For more or less rational reasons.

The woman averted her gaze, placing her hand on a larger counterpart of the turtle. She sighed softly and smiled reassuringly. "A-alright, you're right."

Another embrace, this time stronger than the previous one. "Thank you... I love you, and I don't want to lose you..."

"Same here..."

"But you know, I would look interesting as a mutated turtle!"

"You'd be bald as a knee."

"You say it as if it were a flaw, egghead."

Laughter echoed in Leonardo's mind as he looked in disbelief at the torn body beneath his feet, covered in red ash.

"This... can't be!" He immediately fell to the ground, brushing the sand off the face of the corpse before him. The man wasn't a believer, but with each passing second, he prayed for it to be a simple dream, a regular nightmare in his brain. Unfortunately... "[Y.N]!"

Amidst the distant sounds of battle, his roar and sobbing resonated among the rubble as he cradled the lifeless body of his fiancée in his plastron.

He should allow it.

Try Harder

“‘Try harder?!’ I always have to find the solution! You’re leader, Leo. You find the answer!”

Two Quick PSAs:

Because I feel people will think I’m taking Leo’s side, or justifying his actions. I’m not. I don’t think he was in the right for saying that.

This will be very Leo focused— not because he’s my favorite or anything— but because Donnie’s side has already been understood by a majority of people.

Whenever I come across this conversation— whether tiktoks, fanfiction, or fanart— Leo’s personality that’s presented always rubs me the wrong way. He usually gets written or drawn as some haughty asshole that doesn’t give a shit about Donnie’s feelings… ever. That is simply not true. Or that Donnie is the only one to get them out of problems. That isn’t true either. There are plenty of times that Donnie turns to Leo to have the answer or plan when his go awry. He also depends on his older brother’s outward bravery and confidence.

Leo and Donnie’s argument in “The Fourfold Trap” can be built on two things Donnie and Leo are at constant odds with:

Pressure

Limitations

Both Donnie and Leo have the same kind of pressure where they are multitasking and are having to switch tactics in battle almost always.

Donnie is a genius. He’s knowledgeable in mechanics, technology, math, science, biology, history, etc etc. and has also mastered learning some technology of the Kraang as well as creating a way to translate their language. He often lacks the resources to accomplish projects or time to calmly dismantle weaponry and machines and get him and his brothers to safety during battles.

Leo is intuitive and strategically intelligent as well as very disciplined and focused. However, his pressure lies within his leading abilities. Not only must he plan battle strategies with his brothers, he also has to keep an eye on them in battle, be ready to change tactics should something go awry, figure out an exit strategy and this is usually done all while fighting with the enemy. Leo also has to keep a level head and keep his emotions in check. While in the beginning, he often wasn’t respected, his collectedness kept the team together and functional (Raph leading the team in “New Girl in Town” and struggling as well as Leo panicking in “Panic in the Sewers” are good examples of when the leader isn’t collected)

The burden placed on both of their shoulders is very heavy, draining, and a lot to take on as a teenager and they do their best to keep it together, but the built up pressure will sometimes put them at odds when planning during larger battle (i.e. “The Invasion”).

Now, as with anything and everything, there are always limits. Leo and Donnie both struggle with accepting that they have their limits, though, Donnie tends to accept his more than Leo.

Growing up and being the way they are unfortunately puts limits on what they can have or use. Donnie uses a lot of scrap metal and junk to piece things together for the brothers and himself to use and has to be careful with what he does have, since he doesn’t have the access to go into a store and get what he needs.

All of this frustrates Donnie as it limits his abilities, but it has helped him accept it and understand that he can’t push himself to do everything he would like to for himself and to help his brothers. It has also taught him to be resourceful and he has put together amazing mechanical machines. And despite being outcasts in society, he and his brothers do get accepted by some humans. He grows into it becoming enough for him, becoming at least physically confident in who he is.

I don’t think I have to explain just how much Leo ignores his limits. Just woke up out of a coma and his leg is fucked? This idiot goes off in the woods to fight a mutant made of vomit, tree bark, and nightmares. He doesn’t rest it as much as he should be— both because a conflict is happening and when nothing is going on, he’s training on it. Because of some of the lessons Splinter taught him—

“We choose what holds us back and what moves us forward”

“It doesn’t matter that the burden is heavy. It matters that you carry it!”

“With the world at stake, the only thing of importance is that you complete your mission, no matter what you have to sacrifice. Or whom.”

— Leo develops a complex to keep the world and his family safe no matter what happens to him, as well as to suck it up and keep going. Him complaining or ranting about his frustrations doesn’t get him sympathy.

“I just think you guys should be a little better at following my orders.” (Leo)

“Aww, it’s too bad I can’t play my violin while I drive.” (Raph)

“They have no idea what kind of pressure I’m under, and all they do is complain! Is it too much to ask for a simple ‘thank you’?” (Leo)

“Of course it is! Leadership is not about being appreciated, it’s about responsibility.” (Splinter)

Unfortunately, either out of resentment or something else, he holds this same principle for Donnie and pressures him until Donnie snaps at him.

“Donnie! You said you could do this! … They’re aliens from another dimension, what did you expect: a big round ball with a lit fuse that said ‘bomb’?!”

“You gotta fix the Shellraiser fast. Like, yesterday fast!”

“Donnie, you’re gonna have to speed this up.”

There is one other factor that drives Leo to pressure Donnie, and that is his guilt for Karai’s mutation and his lack of skill and knowledge to get her back to herself. Even though there was nothing he could have really done— after trying to stop her or even go with her as back up in “Vengeance is Mine” and coming very close to freeing her before Shredder attacked— he more than likely plays scenarios over in his head where he saved his sister or even took the fall into the mutagen instead of her.

“You should be celebrating your victory. You did a brave thing tonight, Leonardo. You saved everyone.” (Splinter)

“Not everyone. I tried to get Karai out of Shredder’s control. …I failed, Sensei.”

He becomes rebellious and risks his safety—his brothers’ safety also is toyed with if they choose to go along with him— to rescue her and reunite Master Splinter with his daughter and have her be with her family.

The building of his guilt towards Karai’s mutation, the pressure he’s feeling to rescue her from Shredder’s control, and the fact that he is at a limit that he cannot go past altogether drives him to snap at Donnie the way he does.

Was it right and justifiable? Absolutely not. But do I understand that it was a build up things from within and that he didn’t say it just to be an asshole? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Shizurui's feelings for each other headcanons (can't believe i've not done this yet, i should have my badge revoked, honestly-)

- as i'm pretty sure all us like... five Shizurui-ers agree, Rui definitely fell first

- minor celebrity crush ever since he was introduced to MMJ! that he didn't think would mean anything. but then after he properly spent time with her on the school trip?

- kaboom, cue falling head over heels queerplatonically <3

- disaster. absolute disaster, he is. he's so obvious about it despite his best efforts not to be

- during W x S rehearsal, Emu'll be chatting about her school day and who she talked to- everyone else catches on to how Rui seems more interested in her rambles immediately after Shizuku's name's mentioned

- even Leo/need finds out about it through Tsukasa and Emu and are gossiping about it. a bit of Shiho has withered away and died at the thought of her sister getting close with Tsukasa's somehow even more chaotic friend /silly

- Shizuku doesn't realise SHE likes him more than an acquaintance, let alone being aware of the other way round

- she subconsciously tries finding excuses to spend time with him <3

- "oh dear :(( i broke the microwave again :(( i suppose i'll have to call Kamishiro-san :(( and he'll spend time telling me how to fix it :(( such a shame... :)"

- it helps that all her friends now direct her to Rui when she has tech issues since they're aware the two know of each other's existences now!! they all reckon it's a miracle they met, since he's the rare one who won't ever get tired of explaining anything related to tech again and again <3 (especially since it's her)

- she definitely takes advantage of that without meaning to. whattt, just wanting to talk to him? as far as she knows, she's just mysteriously become more aware of how often she struggles with computers and appliances!!

- Tsukasa unintentional, oblivious wingman?? TSUKASA UNINTENTIONAL, OBLIVIOUS WINGMAN!!

- "ahaha, Shizuku!! absolutely wonderful show last weekend, we all went to see it and agreed it was marvellous!! especially Rui, actually, i recall him murmuring that you looked "ethereal," haha!! i'm sure he was quite impressed by the stage lighting then!!"

- rest in peace, Rui Kamishiro, he died too young

- 'tis all well though, since Shizuku, OF COURSE, believes he was just on about lights. (and was totally NOT disappointed when she heard Tsukasa's conclusion, nope, not at all, that would be so silly, to expect Rui was complimenting HER and not just the technical aspect of the show, wouldn't it? these idiots /most affectionate)

- Nene makes fun of Rui endless

- once she (almost immediately) pieced it together, she started doing shit like playing a Shizuku focused song to grab his attention when he's absorbed in tinkering and completely tuning everything else out. and then she loses her mind when it WORKS

- "oh, so THAT makes you finally look up?"

- Emu, the most emotionally intelligent character in the game, in my (correct) opinion, also just knows instantly and definitely thinks they're adorable and is VERY straightforward about it

- "Rui-kun, Rui-kun, i have the most WONDERHOY idea, wahahahaha!! you and Hinomori-senpai should TOTALLY go on a DATE over there, at the Ferris Wheel!! :D "

- "...!!"

- "ehhhh?? are you okay?? you look like your heart went crash-bam-boom!!"

- "... Emu-kun, we are very lucky i had paused eating just now because i do not believe you are quite vertically gifted enough to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me."

- Emu wingman number two? Emu wingman number two!!

- it actually gives Rui so much stress that Emu goes to the same school as Shizuku, cause you just know she might let something slip without even meaning to. not like Shizuku would catch on in the vast majority of cases though

- you could have all their friends waving a massive sign at her reading "RUI KAMISHIRO LIKES YOU" in gigantic, lit up letters and she'd be like "aww~ that's so very sweet, i didn't know Kamishiro-san was such a passionate fan of idols!! hehe, i'll remember to thank him for supporting our group so much...!!"

in conclusion: one of them is as oblivious as one can possibly get while the other gets to be nothing of the sort, thanks to his friends constantly reminding him of his feelings at every chance!!

Terrapin Soup Part 6 (2/2)

"Leo.." Usagi looked around, a bit unsure, "Id this what you meant when you mentioned your portals being a bit.. Unstable?" "Hm? Oh, no, I did this one on purpose. I uhm.. I thought it'd be nice to sit up here with you, maybe.. Watch the sun set? Since it's like the one thing the hidden city doesn't have." Usagi smiled seeing Leo try to hide his blushing, he'd gotten pretty fond of Leo in the short time they actually knew each other.. "I've never seen the sunset from a view like this.. How kind of you." He carefully walked closer to the edge of the building, waiting for Leo to join him before sitting down. "I wanted to give my brothers a bit more time to get the kitchen together since I'm sure it's a mess by now." They both laughed at that, knowing full how it was more then likely true. Leo glanced over, trying to play it cool as he reached his hand over taking Usagi's into his. "It's been a while since I did this, but it's a lot nicer sharing it with someone. I mean, I'm not really a big nature and 'look at the stars' kinda guy but I thought you'd probably like it so.." "I think it looks amazing, it's not often I'm able to do something like this. Thank you for sharing this with me Leo." "..C-Can I share something else with you?" "Yes, anything Leo." "You.. You have to close your eyes first though.. Okay?"  Usagi nodded and closed his eyes as Leo requested, giving his hand a little squeeze and their fingers interlocked. Despite being on the edge of a building that stood over one thousand feet tall, Usagi had no trouble trusting him. Leo had been overthinking it earlier, that he'd be far too shy to return Usagi's gesture later tonight when he was on his way home, he figured it'd be easier to do it here while they had privacy. And April told him a few times to "put his big boy shell on and make the first move for once" so there was that too. He took a deep breath leaned in, his free hand coming up to gently cup Usagi's face to hold it in place. Closing his own eyes like an idiot as he killed the distance between them till they met in a kiss, though he pulled back pretty quick after, in disbelief that he actually just did that.  Usagi's expression didn't shift as much as Leos would've if he'd been on that end, but when he opened his eyes again Leo felt his heart skip a beat, fuck his eyes were pretty.. He gave Leo's hand another squeeze, silent for a moment probably processing. "I like when you share things with me." He said after a moment. Oh frick he was cute.. And his smile and those big eyes and soft fur and his hand fits in mine so well and... I wanna kiss him again.. I really wanna kiss him again- "I-I like sharing things with you.. Uh- We should.. I'm sure the foods done by now so we should.." Usagi nodded and waited for Leo to let go of his hand before he stood up, watching from a few feet back as Leo made another portal, gesturing for Usagi to go ahead. And once they were on the other side Leo proceeded with his partly rehearsed tour of the lair, only going off script to introduce him to April and Splinter. It all seemed to go really well, even when Splinter tried to act tough or while Mikey barged in to give him another hug. Or when a mini food fight broke out during dinner because Donnie insisted on calling salt 'sodium chloride' when he asked for it to be passed to him. But at the end of the night everyone seemed to have a good time, they asked Usagi about his life, where he grew up, what plans he had if any for the future, what he thought of Leo. Which of course they were all met with vague honestly. Things like;

"I've lived in the hidden city my whole life. My teacher had been tracking a small band of killers, he found them at the end of a trail that ended with the lives of my parents. He took me in seeing I had no one else."

"I'm not sure yet, I assume I'd take over my teachers role, doing the jobs I do now just on a bigger scale."

"I think Leo is.. Unique. He's kind, and brave.. And despite hardships still strives to make people smile and laugh. I'm lucky to have met him the way I did."

Needless to say that last response earned a wide array of coos from the family, no further questions needed of course. Though.. What Raph had said not long after their first meeting still stuck in Mikey's head. He wondered why he felt uncomfortable that time, and if that feeling went away yet or if it was just his older brother instincts to be that way? Usagi seemed pretty genuine, and Leo did too, he'd never seem him more happy and 'at home' maybe ever? But no one else seemed to feel that way, even April who was an older sister to them or Splinter who as a dad should be more guarded then Raph right? It didn't make sense..

Part 7

Part 1

[sentrys]

thinking about tmnt 2003 s1ep10 where shredder first shows up and how its not at all hard for shredder to manipulate leo literally all he has to do is give this kid a bit of praise and acknowledge his efforts. because splinter does not do that shit often enough compared to how much criticism he dishes out. like leo literally hits his breaking point this episode because he has been training so endlessly hard and splinter doesnt acknowledge it at all.

its early into the series but its made very clear by this point that leo values his identity as a ninja and training to be the best he can be at this skill more than anything. while raph, donnie, and mikey dedicate more time to their hobbies or just relaxing, doing things outside of honing their ninjutsu (as they should), leo will more often than not train, and train, and train…

so its just really BRUTAL when splinter tells leo if he cant learn this lesson about his weapon, he may as well have learnt nothing at all up to this point. Taking the one thing leo values most about himself and saying its nothing just because he hasnt adhered to this one teaching yet!!! not only that, but just dropping that bombshell in the middle of a relatively lighthearted weapons training session just hits harder.

“what havent i learned?! my skills the best its ever been! i just dont get it!”

so yeah, shredder shows up, showers leo in praise. gives him a sword, something physical to back up that he means what he says, something that speaks to leo’s heart. its a 5 min convo but leo is already calling him master shredder by the end of it. because, yeah, a master should be critical, but also not devoid of affection, especially when your master is also ur sole parental figure.

in the end, leo berates himself and calls himself an idiot for not just telling splinter about all this in the first place. when really… why would he, when you take all of this into account

Misc headcannons about the 2012 Boys?

(I literally had to Google what Misc meant in writing and I realized it meant like mixed type of things and I feel a little bit stupid ngl lmfao-)

Anyways of course you can have some!! Here's some of my personal 12 boys headcanons!!!!

12 Leo has issues with his throat. Due to his fight with the Shredder and having his vocal chords damaged so badly he'll have issues when it comes to speaking or talking. Due to these things Leo doesn't really speak much unless he absolutely has to, though there are occasions where he'll talk despite his throat being sore and his voice cracking and giving out. If he speaks for long periods of time he can actually lose his voice for a bit due to the strain. Whenever his voice gives him issues Leo's brothers give him a cup of medical tea that Donnie makes him specifically. It helps soothe them and helps with his voice.

12 Leo also has issues with his knee. While not noticable at first it becomes apparent that he does have a limp at times whenever he walks or fights. Whenever the weather is colder or a storm is about to happen Leo's knee will start to ache in an unbearable way, often times leaving him forced to sit down and not move much (only after Raph, Donnie and Mikey force him too whenever they catch on to his pain). Once he's sitting down Leo doesn't usually get back up due to the pain and his brothers fierce looks daring him to try to. However despite his knee injury Leo's still one of the most skilled and quickest out of his brothers and those who are foolish enough to underestimate him usually end up regretting it.

12 Mikey is suprisingly in tune with his older brothers and their emotional and mental states. Being the youngest out of all of them Mikey has learned how to read his brothers and act accordingly to help them whenever they need it. Whether it's they're in need of a laugh via prank or a shoulder to lean on, Mikey's always in tip top shape when it comes to his older brothers and their needs. He's always by their side and ready to offer them a silent comfort should they need it.

12 Mikey hates being alone. After so much trauma and near death experiences for both himself and his brothers, Mikey often times is caught within a close range of said brothers. Sometimes at night he'll end up climbing out of his bed and making his way towards one of his brothers rooms or to Master Splinter's room and climbing into bed with them. They never say anything and let him. Once Master Splinter is no longer with them Mikey rarely sleeps alone within his bedroom because the feelings of loneliness and fear become too overwhelming and he breaks down somewhat. So he's usually bunking with one of his older brothers or all of them. They don't mind it.

12 Raph hates it when Leo sleeps for long periods of time. Whenever his older brother sleeps past his usual wakeup time or whenever he remains too still within his sleep Raph will start to get fidgety and anxious, shimmying around in a pent up kind of way. Usually Leo wakes up on his own after a moment or two and Raph relaxes almost immediately afterwards however on the rare chance that his big brother doesn't Raph will often times go over and shake Leo awake holding his breath each and every time as he waits for him to respond. Dreading that moment when Leo may not respond to his voice or touch.

12 Raph is surprisingly difficult to anger most days. Growing up made the red clad turtle mellow out somewhat in his usual fiery and explosive temper that he had as a teenager. And it'd only mellowed out even more when Splinter died. Raph now has a better grip on his temper and it's takes a bit more to make him snap however underneath his maturity is still the same beloved hot head that his brothers and friends know and love and once he hits that breaking point God have mercy on the idiot who invoked his wrath.

12 Donnie sometimes gets a bit jumpy around April whenever she gets too upset. After the whole incident of his friend designating him and tearing him apart by his very atoms in front of his brothers Donnie's always on some level remained leery of April and her temper. While logically he knows that she hadn't been in her right state of mind nor that he himself doesn't really remember him dying, after having it explained to him (thanks to Raph), emotionally he can't help but feel uneasy around her whenever she completely loses it. Thankfully April completely losing her temper in such a way is a very rare occurrence and Donnie's managed to keep himself calmed down enough to not flinch when she gets snappy or irritated. The last thing he wants is for April, Casey and his brothers to find out.

12 Donnie actually has different inventions in his lab that were made with one of his brothers at some point in time. He keeps these little group projects in a special place within his lab and whenever his brothers come in to spend time with him or are in need of being within his presence Donnie's always quick to pull out their little projects and they go from there. Donnie's project with Raph is a motorcycle that he'd managed to find during one of their annual dumpster trips. Donnie's project with Mikey is a little utility kit that resembles that of what the superheroes in his favorite comic books use. And finally Donnie's project with Leo is a little miniature globe that's full of stars and planets.

[pleasejustletpercyrest]

I’m surprised I haven’t caved and done this yet, but I NEED to talk about how fucked up it is that ole Papa Ricky missed out on prime ace/aro representation via Leo Valdez in favor of? Ruining part of his character arc? Let’s get into it.

Essentially, Leo’s entire character is based off of the loser boy who relentlessly flirts with anything that moves because he’s desperate. We see this in almost every book until he starts to get serious, and of course when the Calypso plot line begins. IGNORING THAT ENTIRE SECTION OF THE BOOKS, and instead looking more closely towards the whole “seventh wheel” thing, I would very much like to point my gay little finger and declare Leo on the a-spec.

Leo as a character is very performative, and we see him taking the role of the comedian, or the resident funny guy along with his throwaway usefulness as the engineer and repairer. In his POV multiple times we see a deeper exploration to his thoughts and actions, while in everyone else’s eyes, he’s just annoying, funny, and hyperactive. While this is an entirely different post I should be making in the name of Leo Valdez and all of his quirks and flaws, I also think that this inherently plays into the loneliness and separation that we see over and over again casting him as the third/fifth/seventh wheel.

I think there’s also something very telling about that desperation. Besides Rick very quickly throwing him into a romance to solve most of his “problems”, a lot of the earlier books show him flirting and throwing himself at women, but there’s no SUBSTANCE to it. In my personal experience, and in something very often seen in the aro/Ace community, to fit into social norms, you often try to attach yourself quickly to people, or convince yourself and your peers that you are experiencing crushes/attraction for a way to fit in to conversation and convention. Unintentionally, Rick wrote this little playboy character who is SO EASILY read as queer, specifically ace/aro!!!!

While we can only give the books so much credit for diversity and representation (as they are written by a cishet white man well past his 30s), the way that Leo is written so stereotypically gives me FUEL to headcanon that he is better than written. I like to think of his third wheel era with Piper and Jason as a sort of PART 1 to this realization, and then PART 2 comes around with Hazel and Frank. There could have been so many silly interactions if he was actually pursued as a queer character, and I will forever rage because of the sloppily thrown labels after HoO with Nico’s coming out arc.

(Once again, big W for the representation being shown, but I do have some issues with the execution)

I just imagine Leo, confused, watching these relationships on the Argo II and taking notes about what romantic attraction looks like. He has messy notes scribbled on his palm like:

-Laughs at joke that is NOT funny because they are blinded by love???

-Look like idiots holding hands and staring into each others eyes

-‘I would die for you’ but in a sexy way (aka how to date in demigod 101)

-Whatever the fuck Percy and Annabeth have going on

Relationships, specifically romantic ones, seem to be the only way that Rick truly allows important interactions to happen. What happened to declaring your loyalty but in a platonic sense? What happened to fighting for the power of friendship? What happened to Grover?!?!!!

I also truly believe that there could have been an entirely new angle explored between Nico and Leo’s relationship, and how they could’ve become tentative friends after Leo comes back from the dead, especially after the death of Jason Grace. I see perfectly an interaction that would go something like:

Leo, approaching Nico wearily at the dining pavilion: hey man, how did you realize you were gay?

Nico, not paying much attention, absolutely destroying a bowl of cereal: didn’t like women, liked men

Leo, nodding seriously, knowing full well that he isn’t gay but also not straight: I see…

ADDITIONALLY there could have been such a fun friendship with Piper and Leo if Rick Riordan wasn’t a coward and actually gave Piper a character arc where she was established as queer instead of just sprinkling it in at random. Piper, as a daughter of Aphrodite, with that ‘love sense’, I truly believe they’re could have been such fun scenes such as:

Piper, suspicious that Leo isn’t straight: so…you have any crushes?

Leo, panicking because now he has to think of someone who could reasonably be seen as someone he was crushing on: uh, um, uh, what’re you? A cop???

Piper, getting literally no vibes of any attraction whatsoever from Leo, throwing her tf off: uh, maybe

This also leaves the very real, very hilarious question of what Leo would see if he ever met Aphrodite. As Jason sees a lot of Piper, and Percy sees basically just Annabeth, I think it would be interesting to have an internal dialogue of Leo meeting the goddess of love and having her features shift constantly to try and fit an impossible attraction by melding together traits that are stereotypically pretty or beautiful.

Not all of this was entirely coherent, but I have very strong feelings on this headcanon and I am HORRIBLE at articulating anything in a way that makes sense. Thank you for, once again, coming to my Teddy Talky.

i just read one of your hc posts and thought

sea monster reader. long thick tail. turns around a little too quick and a little too close to one of the turtles. accidentally gets his ass. hilarity ensues.

Leonardo

> he’s stunned

> he whipped around so fast to see what the hell just happened

> he lets out a soft laugh and shakes his head

> of course this stunt would get pulled by you

> intentional or unintentional

> upon catching your attention and telling you what you had done, your whole face became fifty shades of red

> he’d sometimes bring it up randomly and catch you off guard

> he gets a kick out of your reaction

Raphael

> went defense mode upon feeling the smack

> caught him off guard

> kinda stung ngl

> he would watch after you in shock as you left

> he was rendered speechless

> should he bring it up to you?

> it would be a bit awkward but..it can embarrass you

> he brought it up to you and let out the loudest laugh upon seeing your reaction

> okay this was worth it

> he’s never letting you live it down

Donatello

> extremely flustered

> calls after you to ask you if you just smacked his bum

> upon seeing your reaction, he realized it was an accident

> your reaction was adorable tho which helped calm him down a bit

> he reassured you that it was alright and it was actually kinda funny that your tail coincidentally hit him on his bum of all areas

> you two laughed it off, didn’t want it to be awkward now

> you two would have funny moments where you reminisce of the moment and laugh about it together

> it always was a memory to lighten up the mood for you two

Michelangelo

> grinned like an idiot

> would quickly chase after you and smack your bum in return which startled you

> you’d ask him why in the world he did that

> he’d give you this confused expression before grinning again and telling you about your first strike towards him

> you’d widen your eyes in realization to which Mikey slowly realized it was an accident

> he would let out a wheeze to which you’d playfully hit his arm and scold him about your little mistake

> like Leo, he never lets you live it down but he reminds you way more often than Leo would

> even made an ass smacking inside joke with you

> you two smack each other’s bums more often and even made it a competition

For the Turtle Asks: 8, 9 and 17!

-Mouser

8. Favorite Villain

tmnt does villains so well and it was hard to choose, however. I have chosen Baxter Stockman. He is simply the funniest. In 1987 he’s just a guy either an invention who accidentally gets mixed up with Shredder and ends up as a fly. He spends the rest of his life trying to get revenge on the turtles because Shredder told him it’s their fault he’s a fly. He doesn’t even know why he’s mad about being a fly. In 2003 he’s surrounded by subtle personalities with secrets and interesting motives, yet he manages to be the bad guy who holds my attention whenever he’s on screen because I just can’t believe this poor idiot genius got himself this far in. He wants money and praise like any other evil American corporation owner, but he’s gone to the exact wrong people and now he’s a brain in a jar. Now instead of being paid and praised he’s being tortured and yet he still never stops talking back. I hate him as much as I love him and that’s exactly how a good villain should be

9. If you could change one thing about tmnt what would it be

I’m tempted to say make Angel a character in all iterations and give her more screen time. I’m not saying that because they already have a lot of important characters to split screen time between, and anyway this one’s easy for me to simply fix with fan fiction. So I’m not saying that but I did say it.

My real answer is Raph and Leo’s relationship. Their fights are often over simplified for the sake of the narrative and Leo’s arcs are prioritized. I love their dynamic on screen, in every iteration, but it does very often focus so much on the tension and I’d like to see the friendship take center stage more. Also acknowledge more directly that Raph is right more often, or at least that they’re both wrong. It would actually be better for Leo’s arcs and give us more Raph moments.

17. Favorite pizza toppings

Pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives. I like to change it up a lot but those three are the most consistent

Day in A Life

[ 563 words | Estimated Reading Time: 2 mins]

Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 21, 2050 /Newswire/ -- Judge Baxter rules that the StarFlicks Entertainment Group maintains the right to exhume the remains of the legendary Leo de Vera. StarFlicks Entertainment holds a still-active contract that guarantees them full exclusivity and control of Leo De Vera's media visage. The company stated in a PR statement that they plan to feed De Vera's bio body to their cutting-edge Talent Replicator AI to provide the public with more exciting content from the renowned actress. Ms. Nevarro--practicing attorney and the granddaughter of Leo de Vera--slams the claim as a human rights violation.

San Francisco, 1964 Leonora Montes wants to rest. She wants it badly--especially on mornings like these, with the warm, golden sun blanketing her pale skin. She sits on grass as soft and spring-like as a bed, her dead husband supporting the whole weight of her six feet underneath. "What I wouldn't give," she says to no one in particular, "just to sleep here and never wake up." She chuckles to herself. "I see your morbidy's still rubbing off on me." No answer. But she can picture his gap-toothed wide grin, and it's enough for now. She begins her weekly ritual. Trimming the grass on his grave with a pair of creaky old shears. Arranging the flowers from their garden just the way he liked it--not by color or height, as she'd have thought sensible, but by alphabetical order in neat little rows. She still has to fight not to roll her eyes. Finally, she gets to his gravestone. "You can spare your handkerchief," she can visualize him saying, as he'd told her when she tried to wipe his neck in the midst of his final fever. "I'm dead either way, mahal." She takes out the cloth from her pocket and polishes the artifice definitely. "At least you don't bat my hand away now," she says. In loving memory is swept free of debris. His first name, and then their last name, are similarly scrubbed. She takes time to brush the numbers that denote his short life. 1940 - 1963. "One whole year without you," she remarks, more annoyed at this particular moment than sad. "It was supposed to be a lifetime, you idiot. Wasn't that the plan?" She can see him raising his hands, palms up. The gesture he'd used since they were children to call truce. "You have a point, de Vera. But." "But?" she asks his imaginary ghost. "But you knew well before you married me that my plans tended to go awry, more often than not." Leonora huffs, pockets her handkerchief, and sits down with her knees wrapped primly under her legs. She can do this forever, she knows. Stay by her husband's side in her whimsical memory, happy to be home in her dreams. But she has to tell him. She means to go right out and say it. The lump in her throat refuses to cooperate. She swallows and stares at a nearby dandelion, and keeps staring until she can conjure, in her mind's eye, her husband cupping her cheeks in his callused hands and nudging her to meet his eyes. "Ano na?" he inquires, light and gentle. What now? "I think," she says, "I should sign the contract." This is where her image of him freezes. For all that she knows him by heart, she cannot guess how he'd react. / / / A/N: This is for the @inklings-challenge! Looking forward to reading people's stories :) Unfinished (and a little late), sadly, and I never did find time to get the structure how I wanted it, but I'm glad I managed to get this much up :) I hope you enjoy! If you're curious where I was going with this, the plan was to continue describing the day when Leonora signs the fateful contract, while interspersing it with epistolary snippets (probably news clippings) that show her descendants' increasingly desperate ways to ensure that she gets to rest in peace with her husband. Then one of them manages to invent a time machine.

kaminari denki ❥ astrology masterlist ❥ generational planets

❥ birth date: june 29, 2126

❥ birth time: morning (ATTENTION, WE HAVE OUR FIRST MORNING BABY)

❥ birth place: saitama prefecture

❥ pop astrology analysis: cancer sun, libra moon, leo rising. the only placement in his big three that strikes me as odd is his cancer sun. i don’t see a TON of emotion out of him besides anxiety, but that could be something we just haven’t seen yet. my guess for his sun would have been sagittarius, but i’m satisfied with his big three overall.

❥ in-depth under the cut ❥

❥ cancer sun: emotional. strong survival instinct. nurturing. sensitive. compassionate. seeks and offers security. loyal. protective. highly intuitive. associated with psychic abilities. charismatic. mommy issues. same sun as shinsou.

kami often goes out of his way to make others feel comfortable and confident, especially regarding their quirks. from the wiki: his role is to tie class 1-a together with his personality, just like eijiro. both of these point to him being intuitive – i wouldn’t say highly intuitive, but he’s definitely picking up vibes that others don’t. he seems to crack under pressure often, which shows his emotional and sensitive side. he often sticks up for his friends and is hesitant to use his quirk around anyone who could potentially get hurt. (the next part is just a guess.) i’ve seen a few people speculate that he could have some mommy issues, and that’s why he seeks validation from women.

i also wanna mention something that @fandomluke​ brought up in their tags! whenever kami overuses his quirk and goes completely brainless, he gives the thumbs up. i didn’t realize until TODAY that’s because he’s making sure everyone knows he’s okay. he’s trying to keep everyone confident and comfortable. i definitely think this ties in with his libra moon, but this feels more like cancer energy to me. he embodies this type of energy all the time – he always tries his best so his teammates don’t have to worry and it’s just sooooo uwu

❥ libra moon: peaceful. naturally charismatic. relationship-oriented. communicative. intelligent. witty. social. optimistic. easygoing. cooperative. excellent planner or strategist.

i think his libra moon really shows in his interactions with others even though the moon is more of your internal world. i think he really tends to wear his heart on his sleeve and isn’t very guarded, so we see more of this placement than his peers’ moon placements. he’s almost always kind and reassuring no matter who he’s talking to – big libra energy there. he doesn’t have the best grades, so he’s not often considered intelligent. but he randomly drops facts that he wouldn’t know unless he’d researched the topic. he also has a surprisingly large vocabulary...... but i’ll touch on this later :) he’s very cooperative in combat and often helps to come up with really intricate strategies to keep others out of harm’s way when he uses his quirk.

❥ leo rising: hair!!!! confident. generous. attractive to others. strong mind. clear intentions. self-aware. body-conscious. ruled by the sun!!! warm. eager to stand up for what he believes in. loves new tasks.

i don’t think i need to point out his hair, but i’m gonna. he has such distinctive hair – apparently, the lightning bolt is natural. from the wiki again: denki's surname contains the kanji for "above, hair." leo energy???? kami has two distinct sides – confident and anxious. his confidence definitely comes from this placement. he gets a lot more confident in combat when others are out of harm’s way. and he’s really confident when talking to women even though he’s rejected kind of often (my poor baby T.T) i have an interesting take on the “strong mind” aspect here. he fries his brain ALL THE TIME, right? he should be a bumbling idiot more often than right after he uses his quirk..... but he’s not. i think his self-awareness and body-consciousness come in with how careful he is in combat and how he knows when he should and shouldn’t use his full power. he also gives me SUCH SUN VIBES he just feels like a warm, sunny day to me.... i dunno. he also sticks up for his friends a lot!! especially during his provisional exam.

❥ gemini mercury: quick-witted. can come across as scattered, but this is because they have broad interests. seem to know a little about everything. knowledgable. mercury is in its domicile here.

kami gets anxious under pressure. even tests bother him. i think the “scattered” aspect could definitely manifest as anxiety here. like i said above, he shows knowledge about things aside from academics. THIS is where i think his vocabulary really comes in. he’s definitely quick-witted – he has to be with a quirk like his. he talks a loooooot. and that definitely comes from the fact that mercury is in its domicile, so his mercurial energy is expressed easily.

❥ gemini venus: social butterflies. curious. social chameleon. charming.

kami is literally friends with anyone and everyone. he’s a social butterfly AND a social chameleon. he can fit in with whatever group he wants. you can tell he’s curious because of his random knowledge. and i’d say he’s pretty charming to have so many friends. ALSO his little choker in his hero costume gives me big gemini venus energy...... again, i can elaborate but

❥ cancer mars: indirect. passive-aggressive. inclined to control their feelings but can seem moody. can later erupt. protects themselves. driven to action based upon emotion. mars is in its fall here.

this shows a lot in his combat style. he’s very hesitant to use his quirk when allies are around (for good reason) and tends to get anxious. when he knows everyone’s safe, however, he’s able to fight much more effectively. his quirk is a parallel to his feelings in a lot of ways. it’s tough to control and he can’t leave it unchecked. but the second he’s free to use it, it’s like an eruption. mars being in its fall makes sense. while he makes his combat style work for him, it’s not the most conventional or easy to use.

❥ sagittarius jupiter: this is considered one of the luckiest placements to have. optimistic. inspirational. can indicate a spiritual person. usually a scholar. jupiter is in its domicile here.

kami has always given me big sagittarius energy, although he doesn’t have many sag placements. i could just be picking up on his jupiter though! it’s funny because he’s not super lucky in his interactions with women, but he seems to be pretty lucky in most other respects. he’s definitely optimistic and inspires others to also better alongside him. again, he’s not a scholar. but he does seem to follow his interests and learn more about those specific things, which is a characteristic of a lot of scholars.

❥ virgo saturn: introspection and change as a result of that introspection. adaptability.

i don’t notice a lot of introspection as far as his own personality (I think this actually might come in the future.), but he’s definitely applied this to his quirk and is majorly adaptable. i keep mentioning his quirk and combat style, but i feel like that’s really the best and most obvious representation of his placements. he quickly learned that just going all-out wasn’t the best use of his power, so he changed his approach. 

❥ overall

kami’s chart is actually pretty similar to shinsou’s. this..... doesn’t surprise me. the fandom has really latched on to the fact that the two of them balance each other out, and i have no doubt that this is why. they both have similar natural tendencies, but their experiences (and the placements they have that are different) have shaped those natural tendencies into different things entirely. but they would be able to understand each other on a really deep level.

regarding kami specifically, i expected more sagittarius placements, but his gemini placements have a similar effect overall. do i agree with his chart as a whole? hesitantly, yeah. but i also think this is because he hasn’t personally had a ton of character development yet. like i mentioned earlier, he might get some more development soon – this would check out if he and shinsou had their development at the same time.

The curse

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 

#6

"And then she just threw me my sword and claimed she isn't our enemy..."

Leo finished his brief report as they jumped onto the unfinished skyscraper to get a better view to find Donnie. He shook his head, still incredulous about what had happened. The strange feeling that had taken possession of him when they both looked into each other's eyes still had an effect. Something was going on, but he couldn't grasp the feeling. It kept slipping away from him like a dream you tried to remember but couldn't.

"Leo...?" Raph gave him an odd look, and the blue one realized he had paused. He shook his head and concentrated again

"Well, I think she'll still flee towards the bridge. Any purple light that way, Mikey?"

Raph left it at that, right now it was more important to help Donnie. But he noted that Leo hadn't told them everything - and this time he'll listen to his intuition! Only... later.

"I don't see anything..." Mikey said, disappointed, as the three peered over Harlem and a branch of the Harlem River. The town was relatively quiet at this hour and no sign of Donnie or the thief anywhere.

“This top giant DUMDUM! Why is he doing this idiotic solo effort?! I'll kick his ass if anything happens to him!" outraged Leo to put his concern aside, not realizing how contradictory his comment was.

Meanwhile, Mikey's concern grew. They weren't teenagers anymore, but he will forever be the most sensitive of the four brothers.

In his mind's eye, he saw the thief grabbing his Nunchaku out of the air and throwing it further. Without effort. She was so fast! And so his Nunchaku flew on at a speed that took his breath away and made one of his nightmares come true: he attacked his brother and couldn't do anything about it!

After all, he had been fast enough not to smash Raph into anything but keep him in the air until the speed dropped, and he was able to free himself without destroying Mikey's weapon. Small consolation, because they had now lost the thief and no one knew what kind of devilry she had in store for Donnie. Mikey was filled with worry.

Then again… he thought. She gave Leo his sword back. Didn't fight him. Didn't hurt him. Still, he wanted to find Donnie as soon as possible - he knew about his brother's stubbornness and could only hope that it didn't get him into anything worse. In the end, no stolen thing from the museum was worth the life of his brother.

A strong impulse to order help built up in him.

"Maybe we should ask April and Casey for help...?"

Raph and Leo looked at him. Leo nodded slightly and Raph raised his left arm. The communicator flashed neon.

"April, Casey? Raph here. Can you hear me?"

April replied immediately. At the time, she was often up at night to do things for her job as a journalist that were left unattended during the day.

“Yay, Raph! What's up? Any trouble you want me to fix for you?" they heard her laugh.

“Yeah… um. April, indeed we... here, listen: we are here at 2nd Ave and E122nd Street and…”

And once again Raphael was robbed of his words that night. A shock wave went through the building on which they had moved into their vantage point on the 20th floor. It was a VERY strange feeling. A blast from inside the skyscraper that disregards the physics of walls, causing them to tremble without draining energy. The three turtles held onto the cold steel and stared at each other.

"Guys?!" April's voice was on instant alert. "What was that? GUYS?"

But no one answered her, the brothers stared over their heads where the wave lost towards the sky.

She glowed purple and white lines accompanied her.

Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo now knew where Donatello was. They looked at each other and felt, in sheer horror, the skyscraper begins to give way. #7

 I’ll tell you:

The first character I first fell in love with:  I feel the answer is well know XD I love Raph! I mean makes sense he was my favorite in 03 but I turly loved what 2012 did with him as well. He such a cocky shit at the start of the show and its not that he stops that trait but you do see how he develops for the better as the shown went on. Him feeling he was better and should be leader to how he more takes to his role in his team. You see him go from someone who cracks under pressure when given leadership to making sure he's always prepared, how he makes sure none of them esp Leo are left behind how he lets his softer side come out more when Chompy comes in. HE's also a little smart ass and people need to let him cuss he's had it u-u

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 

Shinigami, I sort of dropped off watch 2012 during season 4 so I didn't see her much outside a few epsiode I caught here and there. I havent quite gotten to when she is in the show now either outside clips and such I have seen. But I expected me to feel as I do Renet shes fine but there. Honestly though? I love her. I like how she isn't the usual gloom and doom but even laughs at Mikey's jokes i dunno I just enjoy her.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

Renet, I wouldn't say I hate her. Much how I just wasn't much for the 03 version I would say gose the same in 12. I like her just fine shes a fun charater for the episodes she comes in for and such mostly love the season 5 monter arch. I personlly love her most for the fact she shares a VA with Terra from Teen Titans so it was like getting Beast Boy and Terra back. She just there she's fine I dont find her annoying but Im not hyped about her personally myself.

The character I love that everyone else hates: 

I wouldn't say he is hated but I do see Casey tends to not get much love or people will makes statments about him I just don't agree with like saying he is selfish and uncaring. When you do see that isn't ture. You learn that he and raph talk about stuff like what happened to spike. You see hes the one April talks when at the time who she thought was her mom wanted to leave and she had to pick to stay or go with her. Casey dose care about the turtles he often right there when they need help, he covers them in their battles and like the nightmare episode from the farm house arch he was ready to beat an old man for possibly being the reason they were going to die. I genuinely just love Casey my re watch has made me love him even more I just can't get over his stupid laugh sometimes XD

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Slash, NOT that I hate him either I thought he was villain longer though? but he had such a sudden turn around and it felt like such a waste to me. I felt like he could have been good as Raph arch enemy over Xever. Could been used to add to Raph and Casey friendship/partnership. I still like Slash I just wish he had been a villain a bit longer just for all untap story he had to offer.

The character I would totally smooch: 

Give all the turtles smooches on their heads they been through it in this shown u-u

The character I’d want to be like: 

hmmm mr murakami? I dunno dude seems to be enjoying live got hos own businesses willing to make stuff for the turtles he seems chill despite getting dragged into stuff from just knowing the turtles.

The character I’d slap: 

-Raph I love my boy but he needs to be slapped u-u

-Leo also needs a slap sometimes

-Casey he exsits hit em

-Donnie i love him to but smack this boy A pairing that I love:

Rasey uwu I love these two no matter the series I gotta ship these idiots im a sucker for the best friends to lovers trope A pairing that I despise:

hmm I don't think I have any sure theres some I dont ship or personally like much but eh cant say I have a ship I like hate you know? Besides I rather spend time enjoy what I love anyway.
