smut headcanons or just filthy smut for the fortnite turtles? 😭 possibly even shredder…?
Random Spicy Headcanons (18+)
Fortnite!Turtles x reader
Tumblr media
A/N: I only write for the turtles, which means no Shredder. But with that being said, I hereby welcome the Fortnite boys and their beautiful thighs to my blog! They have been added to my lucky wheel, and will be added to my masterlist after this post. Let’s give them a warm welcome with some smut!💚
Tumblr media
All characters are aged up.
Warnings: Smut, talk of sexual acts and all that jazz👀
Tumblr media
Leonardo:
Tumblr media
Mr Mood, setting and aesthetic himself. From Leo, you can expect something traditional, with an underlining of intensity.
If not in his bedroom, then out in nature. To Leo, there’s only a few things better than sex in a secluded area, either by the water, the forest or on open green grass. Preferably at night, while the stars shine above, creating a beautiful space where you and Leo could indulge in each other’s pleasure.
Had Marigold not been under the ownership of The Society, Leo wouldn’t definitely have taken you there. He would have fucked you on teh deck if he had the opportunity.
Eye contact galore! Leo would tell you to look him in the eyes whenever you were getting close, wanting to see the pleasure in them when you would come around him.
His favorite positions are definitely missionary and the lotus, but should he on rare occasions feel feral, he will go for a mating press or doggy.
Leo tends to be the dominant one when you get intimate, but that does not mean that he didn’t take his time with you. Actually, he tended to take a reeeaaaal good time with you, teasing you over and over again, bringing you close to the edge, before suddenly stopping, smiling innocently when you would start to complain at the loss of contact.
After what felt like hours of amazing foreplay, Leo would finally give you what you wanted, pounding into you until you could come around him, usually with his hand covering your mouth and your loud cries of pleasure.
Leo does have a thing for restraining you. He loves having you laying helpless in front of him, hands bound over your head and your legs spread, typing to grind yourself against him in some way, begging for him to continue his magical work on you.
Raphael:
Tumblr media
The king of rough sex, this man couldn’t not care less about who heard or knew about what you were getting up to.
He likes to be the dominant one, having you under his control with his hand around your throat or on your ass, making it red with his three fingered handprints.
Raph likes a good challenge, and you love being a challenge for him. It wasn’t uncommon for the two of you to partake in a game of Hunter And Prey, where Raph would hunt you down, no matter where on the island you were hiding. That would always end with him pinning you to the ground, and fucking you so good that you would start to see stars, even during daylight.
Raph really loves your ass, either clothed or naked. It is his favorite place on your body to rest his hands, and yes, he will grab and squish, even if other people are around. In the short time all of you had known Jonesy, Raph had already made the former feel uncomfortable with his happy hand on your behind.
Along with his love for your beautiful behind, Raph has a small thing for anal and sometimes double penetration. Yes, he will fuck your ass and finger your cunt at the same time.
Raph does not like to restrain you. He wants to feel you pull or push at him, your fingernails digging into his skin while he gives it to you good.
Yes, Raph wants you to be loud. He will encourage you to be loud, sometimes forcing your head back so your airway is open, making it almost impossible for you to stay quiet.
Raph loves it when you beg. However, he loves it even more when you’re so overstimulated after several orgasm, begging him to cum inside of you, resulting in his favorite way to cum; with a drippy creampie.
Donatello:
Tumblr media
If you’re feeling needy while he’s working in the lab, it wasn’t uncommon for him to offer you his thigh while he would continue his work. However, as soon as you started grinding onto his well toned thighs, there was no way he could concentrate on anything else. It would usually end with him slamming you onto his desk, before taking you hard and good.
Donnie really loves oral sex. Male receiving, female receiving, 69, he does not care. He loves it all. Each way had its own charm, and both you and Donnie understood what made them all so great.
You and Donnie don’t really have a sub dom relationship. You go at it based on mood. You feel like a rough fucking? Then both of you will go rough, clawing and biting each other, either while Donnie pounds into you relentlessly, or while you ride him good. But do the two of you feel for something soft and sweet? Then you would hold each other close and share several passionate kisses while making sweet love. A very versatile sex life.
Roleplay is often enjoyed in the safety of Donnie’s lab. Often he plays doctor while you either play nurse or patient. But teacher and student have also happened a few times.
Donnie loves your thighs, just as much as you love his. If he died with you sitting on his face, with his head buried between them, he would die a happy man. Air? No need for it. While you used his face as a throne, he only needed one thing; your sweet juices. But for real, if you one day squirted on his face, he would be on cloud nine.
And yes, just like you have gotten off by grinding yourself on Donnie’s thighs, he has gotten off by squishing your thighs together and fucking the space between.
Mutual masturbation is also something you and Donnie find enjoyment in. Either you could do it over the phone, or you could be sitting opposite of each other, watching each other before lending a helping hand.
Michelangelo:
Tumblr media
Have you ever tried getting fingered during skydiving? No? Well, with Mikey you will get to try that at least once. Maybe twice, simply because it was great fun and pleasure for the both of you.
Mikey loves to have sex in strange places, often in very strange positions. It made it much more fun and exciting. And well, you did not know excitement until you were having sex with your boyfriend behind a building, hiding from Loopers that roamed the area.
Yes, you and Mikey have been caught a few times, but guess what? None of you cared. It's part of the fun.
Some of Mikey’s favorite positions included ones where he would hold you up by your ass, sometimes pressing you up against a wall so he could ruthlessly thrust into you. Other than that it was positions with you on top of him, just like a good old cowgirl, where you could bounce on him with all the power your legs could muster.
Skinny dipping… even though he’s pretty much always naked. Buuuut, it’s a great excuse to get you naked… and have sex in whatever body of water you had decided to fool around in.
During sex in public places, Mikey tends to be the dominant one of the two of you, being the one that initiates these spontaneous sessions. But in the comfort of the lair, Mikey often takes the more submissive role, allowing you to call the shots.
Mikey is a boob guy, so of course he would titty fuck you whenever it was possible. It did not matter what size your breasts were, as the sight of his penis between them was just half of it. The other half was you pushing your chest and hands around him, giving his head a small lick whenever he thrusted forward, before telling him all sorts of nasty things.
Oh boy, did Mikey love dirty talk. He loved talking dirty to you, and he loved it when you talked dirty to him. Call him a good boy and how good he was doing, or call him daddy and say that you loved the way he fucked you. Both would send his head spiraling.

This is some fanart I made of the main skins I use when I play Fortnite, literally, I use no one else, they're so cute and rare, I don't see a lot of people use them :/ I use comfy chomps most of the time!
I drew them, because I have not been able to play, so might as well!

Rare fanart from me!! The skin I use in Fortnite, Trailblazer Tai (it’s the free one you get from playing with Legos lol, I’m trying not to spend too much money)
Recently got into Fortnite because of friends, but I’m terrible at FPSs. So, been messing with the music, Lego, and racing stuff more so than the shooter game!

Hello y’all! Let me introduce you guys to the new monster subspecies, the vila!
Sparking the folklore behind the ladylike air spirits in Slavic mythology, vila are a monster subspecies found in every au. They’re most commonly seen in the bird AUs however as they are air affinity type monsters
Vila are one of the more humanoid monsters, with soft faces and a head of hair like the average human. They tend to have dainty ladylike facial features. However they’re still easily identified as monsters due to the pale cool tones that their skin comes in, and the white wings in place of ears, feathered legs, clawed hands and feet, and the secondary set of wings at their hips.
Vila present their magic/ecto color in their eyes, hair and claws, making them all match if they don’t dye them.
Despite looking closer to air elementals, Vila are actually a monster subspecies who claim ghost monsters and snowdrakes as their parent monsters. However due to the Vila being an older subspecies, records on this are conflicting and can’t be proven.
Vila monsters excel in air magics, but can also have an affinity for ice and healing.
While there’s no personality “stereotypes” for these monsters, one thing rings true for all Vila, they love music. Vila monsters have a trumpet like singing voice that can carry large distances. Those who can hold a tune compete against plenty of their other kind to get a spot in the music community.
Vila monsters rarely enter in relationships outside their subspecies, tending to be drawn in to their own kind, but the ones that do always seem to pick a monster completely opposite to them. Vila that choose a non-Vila partner often aim for fire or earth type monsters.
And yes, I do have a new character to introduce! Meet Diane Swann!
Tumblr media
Diane Swann is a Vila from birdtale! She’s aged 312 and has an affinity for both air and ice magic. She has peach and canary dual colored magic and is a known advocate for body positivity in monsters with dual colored magic.
Diane is the only monster successful in the modeling scene with dual colored magic. She mostly does shoots for and promotes makeup and hair and feather care brands. Shes considered among ebott’s most beautiful and has even been in shows outside the country. Her fan base among the humans is huge!
Diane is an outspoken and confident monster. She’s bold, never shying away from a fight and is loved by fans for her dry humor and elegance when arguing. Plus she isn’t afraid to show herself behind the scenes of the show, often posting herself in non-modeling scenarios, even if the picture is unflattering.
Diane has a close relationship with the mettas, especially Dazzleblook (lustswap) and velvetron (underlust). She’s friendly as well with crow who works for the mettas. She does know pepper from the modeling business before he left. She believes his departure was a crime against beauty and every couple of months will hound him to try and get back into modeling again lol.
Things she loves: nail polish, feather wax, cute hair claw clips, her pet zebra finches, the color beige, anything cinnamon flavored, trying to discover the secret shampoo that Queen toriel uses, pedicures, the opera and Fortnite and tik tok dances lol

This battle pass looks fucking terrible.
I don't like any of these rewards. They just gave everyone the same white and black outfit and slathered the same goop on one side. I don't know enough about design to tell you why, but nothing here looks good. These skins are fucking aweful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like I'm genuinely considering not purchasing this battle pass and I have free coins. Like, did they burn up all their ideas last season? Last season was killer. Like did they put a lot of work into their cosmetics to make up for not having a new legend? I was okay with it. But so far this season is not impressing me... Something I came to realize playing fortnite last week was that I will always have that addictive dopamine rush of unlocking a new thing just to keep a game fresh, but once I get it I'll realize: oh I only really like using X Y or Z. I unfavorited a lot of skins in apex because I just don't like them and I'm very wary of buying new ones in fortnite because once the rush is over I just keep using the same 3 or 4 I like. Maybe I'm reaching that point where I just have one GOOD skin for every character in apex, and I'm privledged? But I don't think I'd use any of these. Everything I have is better. Which sucks because Seer's been needing a weird new skin, all of his stuff looks the same. I just. I look at these, and I see a mess. Like a Michael bay transformer, these look like a mess. For contrast: here's the skins we were given for free, in the battle pass, event stores, or that I unlocked last season (though some aren't season specific)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I might be slightly off on the timing of some of these, but like... These are all skins where you can fucking clearly see a design, an intent, a goal, the colors work well together, you can tell what the fucking character is. These new skins are nothing. (I'll also grant that the lifeline and bloodhound skins are old re-works but I only got them last season) My point is, looking at these new skins they're fucking nothing. There's nothing there. I am excited for Apex to have it's very own Juri Han from SF or Jinx from League of Legends type girl, A lot of characters get the same basic apex pack skins and you get some characters like Catalyst, or Wraith, or Valk, or Lifeline where the colors are placed well and look good on a character. Conduit's overall scheme changes and pops based on even the basic skins. You kind of need to find a balance of colors and a space where the familiar stuff like "Arachnophobia" and "alpha royal" textures can dramatically alter the skin, and the texture can pop. Sometimes you get Ballistic, or Wattson where it's either too small, or it's paired with Wattson's weird grey scheme so they stuff doesn't work together. I do think some of Alter's stuff pops pretty well in the rare tier: I've never liked either of these, but they look phenominal with her hair and sort of head shadow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But her common skins are kinda nothing. Idk my big takeaway as I get older are developers struggling with deadlines have to choose what to invest their time into and I feel the more I play things like Fortnite, Apex, Starfield, MMO's I'm starting to recognize 'where the budget' (not just money, but resources and time) went. And I feel like Last season they just blew their whole load, and behind the scenes they were working on a new character, and by the time they finished her and blew all those other crazy skins out they maybe just didn't have any good ideas left? I dunno. I guess it's thematic but this...this season...these rewards...they're nothing. Also I'm not liking the look of yet another fucking currency added to the game. I know about as much as anyone else does about exotic shards, but until I have enough in a quantity that matters, or they lock something I want behind them I'm just gonna have the stance of "I don't completely get them, but after burning through almost all my level ups to get what might be my one and only heirloom I'm lowkey kinda pissed you're introducing something ELSE I could get into my apex packs."
----- Edit: Since initially posting this, I've tried solo's and ngl I kinda love it. As someone who's never cared about winning and feels like looting is taking too long in this game, the idea of just "KILL KILL KILL KILL *die* QUEU UP AGAIN! KILL KILL KILL!" is a lot of fun.

Goddammit Overwatch you were supposed to be different.
Lotta feelings rn but at the same time I feel so numb. Like. Is this really the best live services get on consoles now? Fucking. Fortnite and Overwatch 2? And anything that dares to challenge the status quo just dies within a year or so. I Fucking hate this, Gigantic and Battleborn should still be playable but instead I'm stuck with this slop. Like at least with Fortnite you know there'll be more fun skins and it is kinda fun all things considered but Overwatch comes out with halfway decent skins so fucking rarely now that there's no fucking point, because on the off chance they DO come out with a cool one and you get at all excited about it, you better buy and/or grind for it NOW or you'll never fucking see it again. Prove me fucking wrong ActiBlizz. Make every skin that's ever been released available to get SOMEHOW. No monkey's paw bullshit either.

1) Listen- I was just going to make Arthur a simple crusty discord mod- I’m just giving what the audience wants! If y’all want a creepy incel crusty discord mod- I’m fine with that 👀
2) Besides Arthur- I could totally see Alfred and Russia being basement dwellers that play a lot of COD: Cold War and yell over Fortnite skins (Kevin reference)
3) As for Natalya and Toris- Natalya probably only picked up gaming bcs of her brother, but mostly plays comfort games (doesn’t mean she can’t crack your shit 1v1/multiplayer) Toris is probably normal about his hobbies and occasionally plays comfort games with Natalya. He probably only downloaded Discord bcs of her, but rarely uses it.

The Gradual Degradation of Fortnitemares
Tumblr media
Getting to be so let down with Fortnite lately. Much like how people get excited for Scream Fortress, Fortnitemares used to be this incredible thing. All the houses on the map would get decorated with inflatable witches and pumpkins and ghosts. There were spooky graveyards to explore, all kinds of fun stuff
As Fortnite continued and they leaned more and more on the lore, the map got away from urban environments. Fewer houses means fewer decorations. And Fortnite started getting into a habit where chapters got shorter and shorter and shorter -- Chapter 1 was something like three or four years, Chapter 2 was two years or less, and Chapter 3 was almost one year on the nose, ending just after Fortnitemares in 2022. Dataminers suggest that Chapter 4 was also supposed to end after Fortnitemares 2023, but the new map isn't ready yet, so supposedly Epic is considering a tiny interim season just for December so they can take Christmas break in peace and worry about launching the new chapter when they get back. I think that's fair.
Going back to the urban environments -- Chapter 1 Fortnite was all about towns. Greasy Grove, Tomato Town, Pleasant Park, Retail Row, all of them were full of houses. Retail Row would even get a Halloween Store like the map's own personal Spirit Halloween that you could visit if you wanted to see all the Halloween decorations in one room. It also had multiple farms, and farms mean things like corn mazes and more.
Chapter 2 was, in every way, a better Fortnite. Everything was more organic feeling than the Chapter 1 map was. It felt less tile-based. And it still had plenty of towns -- notably, Pleasant Park and Retail Row carried forward, and close to one fourth the map was covered in a vast forest that could be kind of spooky even in the summer. Also, that Halloween store got an upgrade, moving to its own location -- the Halloween MegaStore, which not only housed TONS of decorations, but even displayed previews of Fortnitemares Skins. As Fortnitemares drew close, the entire map was enveloped in spooky, endless fog, showing off Unreal Engine 4's great volumetric lighting, and a special "Nightmare Royale" mode was enabled, where you respawned as ghosts that could terrorize the living.
Tumblr media
Chapter 3's map was hard fantasy. Coastal settlements dominated by "The Seven", whose buildings were charitably described as "We have Star Wars at home." What urban environments it had were quickly destroyed -- not much reason to put up decorations in a demilitarized zone, after all. A house or two dotted around the map still featured the very rare Halloween decoration, but things were so dire that they straight up teleported a spooky farm into the middle of the map right before Fortnitemares just so they'd have something. Whereas Halloween would take over large portions of previous maps, the farm and the map's giant "reality tree" were the only places designated as Halloween-safe zones. Getting near them would enable a special vision mode that would suddenly make everything look dark and foggy, but 99% of the map remained un-spooky. It was, bar none, the worst Fortnitemares in the entire history of the game.
Chapter 4's big new feature was its modular map. Sort of like how they dropped a farm into Chapter 3, in Chapter 4, huge segments of the map changed from season to season. Cyberpunk cities just dropped out of the sky one day, as did Japanese pagodas, plus vast (and annoying) jungles dug up from underground. The map even launched with spooky castles built right in by default and maybe the biggest farm the game had ever seen. Even back in January, I was thinking, "this could make Fortnitemares awesome again."
Tumblr media
Chapter 4 has been a mess. This Gamespot article talks about what a jumble it is -- and before you ask, yes, Fortnite does have a storyline. Or it used to. Chapter 4 was apparently planned out well in advance and then (as per rumors) the order of everything may have gotten mixed up as crossover plans shifted or were canceled entirely. Friends and I figured this was what also spoiled Fortnitemares 2022 -- a rumored Lady Gaga concert ultimately never materialized, despite the season's "spooky rave" motif. The suggestion now in 2023 was that Epic had apparently been banking on a Persona 5 crossover to launch season 2, and when they weren't allowed to use Joker, it threw all of Chapter 4 out the window with it. The game has spent the last 11 months spinning its wheels and under-delivering on map updates -- sure, each season sees massive changes, but Fortnite used to actually mean a Fort Night, with bi-weekly updates that would shift a dozen mini-stories forward bit by bit.
Chapter 4 does none of that. The map changes once every three and a half months and that's basically all you get outside the thinnest strands of MMO-style quest progression and an overarching narrative that has gone from "not really making much sense" to "beyond a waste of time."
So stop me if you know where I'm about to go with this: Chapter 4, Season 4 launched maybe a month ago, and as of a night or two ago, Fortnitemares 2023 officially began.
That big spooky castle? They dropped a tropical resort on top of it.
The biggest farm in Fortnite history? So far... untouched.
Halloween decorations? The most you get is a candy bowl sitting on a curb of some houses.
There are little bits of Halloween flavor -- the tropical resort is owned and operated by a Playboy Vampire (in the James Bond sense, not the porn sense). Since the launch of Nitemares 2023, he's vamped out, and you get a special shotgun that shoots wooden stakes. But he's also trivially easy to fight, even by the standards of Fortnite's usual PVE "boss" characters.
youtube
Nitemares staples like the Pumpkin Launcher and the Witch Broom have returned, though the Broom has less "returned" than been wholesale replaced with something that, to me, feels considerably more nerfed compared to the original item (it also doesn't make the cool sounds anymore).
And, like, it's early, yet. We could still just be getting started. Maybe the best is yet to come. Epic was apparently telling streamers that Fortnitemares this year was "going to be big." But I look at things right now and I feel the same underwhelming feeling I've had all of Chapter 4. And I look at the news lately that a lot of Epic people, guys like Donald Mustard, Sergiy Galyonkin, and one of Fortnite's chief artists, Drew Hill, have all left the company over the course of Chapter 4... plus the state Fortnite itself lately...
And it's starting to feel like there might be writing on the wall.
Over a year ago, half jokingly, a friend told me about his theory for the eternalization of Fortnite. Epic would probably never retire the game, but they would restructure its output so that new seasons would funnel into the game's growing Creative Mode, effectively turning it from a Battle Royale into their equivalent of Roblox. And the more time goes on, the more what he said is starting to feel right. Fortnitemares also features the game's newest UI refresh, which pushes creative maps right on to the main home screen in something that looks more like Amazon Prime Video than a video game.
Tumblr media
Now, maybe more than at any point in history, Fortnite feels the most like The Product and not a game. One designed to take less resources to maintain and continue to generate some amount of infinite money.
I never expected the good times to last forever, but it's sobering to think Fortnite's best years may be long gone and never to return.

thinking abt that a lot actually. i rly used to just DETEST children. the few i babysat were chill (except. the one that tried to flush my headphones down the toilet 👎) but generally i hated kids. it wasnt until i started rly thinking abt my childhood and processing my own trauma that i realized i rly dont actually hate them.
idk people can be so cruel to kids. ive seen so many customers just verbally abusing their kids. i literally saw this kids grandpa call him a failure bc he didnt tie off the bag of fruit when putting it on the belt??? another lady bitching to me about how stupid she thinks her son is bc he works cleaning out barns to get money for fortnite skins or whatever. i dont get it. theyre not even doing anything wrong theyre just being kids.
so i try to be really nice to kids. esp if theyre clearly restless and the parent is annoyed by them. ill let them spin the bag thing or ill give them the gun to scan the big heavy stuff. if the parent is having card issues i try to keep them preoccupied so they can focus on figuring it out. bc theyre not being loud or nosy out of malice, theyre still learning how the world works and social norms or whatever. standing in one spot is boring as fuck when youre a kid cut em some slack.
i just always think abt how awful it felt to be in those situations when i was little. how mean adults could be. and i was a quiet kid! i rarely cried in public, and when i did id always see at least SOMEONE glaring at me. id show someone a drawing and i did and they wouldnt give a fuck or tell me to go away. id get snapped at for singing to myself to keep busy. theyd talk to me like im stupid for asking "obvious" questions. i dont ever wanna make a kid feel like that.

ive been playing regretevator for the past 2 days and ive been hooked. i ended up really obsessed with split and infected (split because shes so cute and funny and infected because im extremely passionate about early 2010s roblox) so i decided to buy a split cosplay for my roblox avatar. it was like 500 robux so i felt kinda guilty about it since it was so expensive but i actually had a lot of fun with it and it was fun giving her extra accessories.
anyway, i was talking with a friend about infected and i was like "OMG i actually have both the shaggy and sk9r boi so i could totally recreate his outfit accurately" and my friend was like omggg yes do it so i bought his clothes. and then i realize that i. Traded my shaggy a couple months ago for my beloved traffic cone hat. i was really struggling to get this traffic cone so i was overtrading like hell for it and decided to just sacrifice my childhood shaggy that i bought for tix back in the day. shaggies are now like 2k robux for reference.
i started considering just spending 20 bucks to get the robux and buy myself a new shaggy because not only did i want to dress like infected i just wanted a shaggy like my childhood one back.
this whole time i was sitting with my friend in the lobby, and i guess as we were talking everyone else in the server just started joining in on our conversation (we were in a VC server). so, now i have like, 5-6 people surrounding me all speaking on whether or not i should spend the money to buy a shaggy (one of which was someone cosplaying as a fortnite skin LOL)
that must have done something to me mentally because i ended buying a month of the highest roblox premium tier so i could get myself some hair to cosplay as a roblox character for a game i started playing 2 days ago.
Tumblr media
its okay though, because i love him. and i assume that authentic infected cosplays are pretty rare x)
(also idk why hes r15 in this screenshot i set my avatar to r6)

Some people are so toxic about Fortnite skins.
I saw this annoying idiot on Twitter upset because Kratos is coming back to the shop and will no longer be rare.
What makes it worse is they hate God of War, and only use the skin because not many people have it. They like showing off, and now that Kratos is returning, they'll no longer use him because they don't want to see other players with him. 😆
I don't understand why anyone cares about a skin's rarity, especially if it's not a character or franchise you're even interested in. I can't imagine spending money on and using something I hate just to seem superior, then being upset when actual fans get a chance to enjoy it.
And expecting any Item Shop cosmetic to never come back is ridiculous. They should have expected his return at some point. It's not like the Battle Pass, Crew Pack, Quest Rewards, or other methods where something is exclusive to that. Anything can come back to the Item Shop whenever.
Anyway I find this type of attitude extremely stupid. I play as characters I find appealing, and could care less who else has them. It actually makes me happy when people play as my favorites because it means they like them too. I'm sad I don't see other Lorenzos that often. I'd love if they made another version of him for the Item Shop and people who didn't get the original could buy the new one.
I understand being proud of having a cosmetic you earned from an exclusive event, but that's not what the Item Shop is for dummy.
