Hiii can you do brother conflict like how would guys react when is ema(mc) in like Christmas dress (you can pick) theyy are doing something for school for she have to wear that.

At the risk of being crass, there are probably two groups. The 'oh, she looks so cute!' squad and the boner squad. I'm personally imagining the bottom left one... idk I think some of them would want to see what's under the shawl. Sorry that the bullet points are a bit short, it's difficult when there are 14 characters!! and now i'm about a week late for posting :P

Masaomi

Lowkey down for it but I don't think he'd recognize that feeling.

Surprisingly mature about it.

First person to offer a jacket if she gets cold

Ukyo

Oh he's in to it. Definitely. Did you SEE what he thought about in the Valentine's day special?

come sit on santas lap ema JKJKJK i'm just being mean

He'd personally prefer a longer dress though, for a formal Christmas ball

Kaname

come sit on santas lap ema deadass this time

'you can jingle my bells ;)'

sorry i love being mean to my favorite characters

definitely wants a little peek under the sweater. how 'cold' does the top have to be for it need to be covered?

Hikaru

While he'd definitely tease Ema about it, he probably wouldn't think about it too much. He's down bad for Ema, regardless of what she's wearing.

Perhaps he'd tease her about wearing something so short in the middle of winter.

Tsubaki

oh my GOD he's down so bad

he'd take even coal from such a cute santa

small chance he's carrying around mistletoe.

Azusa

In to it... but not obnoxious about it.

Plays it cool though!

Definitely thinks shes cute though

Natsume

It's sort of whatever

He'd love to see her in anything cute

It's on theme for the holidays though

Louis

Tbh probably gifted it to Ema in the first place.

He likely saw it on a mannequin and bought it thinking of her... not of how his brothers would react haha

Would want to style her up like she's debuting

Subaru

*clears throat* BONER SQUAD

BRIGHT RED

the color of his face matches the dress!

says nothing though. can't muster anything up

Iori

I think it would be a nice distraction for him

the holidays are rough, it seems, so spending it with someone in general is nice

he doesn't care much for the holiday theming though

Yuusuke

member 2 of the boner squad

stammering

but.... he matches her yknow?? so theyre like santa and mrs claus.... happily married couple of like 200 years.... so..... maybe it's an omen

Fuuto

teasing so much teasing!!

says ema looks stupid but. thinks shes cute!

Wataru

Doesn't quite get it yet :/

He sees his brothers acting a bit weird and doesn't know why.

He just thinks it's a cute outfit!

[ii-childrenofgods-au]

"There are Gods who take care of the world, twelve to be exact. They are powerful beings whose lives are essential to their world's survival.

But when these Gods disappear, who is left to carry the torch? Why, but their very own children of course.

With their parents gone, they are suddenly the sole caretakers of their world and many others. Will they be able to live up to challenge, or fail to prevent a catastrophe?"

TW overall for: heavy topics and death

You can ask the characters in green:

Lightbulb

Paintbrush

OJ

Marshmallow

Bow

Balloon

Apple

Knife

Taco

Yinyang

Some of these characters started as "Beta" Gods, Demi-Gods, heirs to Gods, or completely mortal. Not all of them are actually related to the Gods they get their powers from

And despite how I made it seem, only Yinyang is an actual child. Everyone else is an adult

Their Godly titles are (not in order) Life, Death, Chaos, Light, Darkness, Fire, Water, Nature, War, Flight, Sun and Moon

You can ask them anything!

[Crowned]

Stories first, asks later

(But feel free to ask me about the au while you wait)

For the askers:

Magic anons: You can spawn items in for the characters but cannot move them from one place to another. Anything else is fine for now

Be nice and be patient plz I promise I will get to everything

There will be ships in this

I can draw human au but only on request. Default is object

Fanart is always welcome!

Colorcoded: Feel free to ask anything. Not answering but feel free to ask anyway. Please don't ask rn/I'm not online.

Now about me, the creator:

I go by she/her, you can call me Dice

Go check out my main @dicediceking

@ask-lab-rats , @ask-ii-bfdi-shipkiddos , @ask-ii-ship-kiddos are my other ask blogs

&. PATRICK BATEMAN x yn.

patrick bateman type of bf:

- gets irrationally tense when someone else makes you laugh. silently notes their name and employer.

- insists on walking on the side of the sidewalk closest to the street, not for safety, but for optics.

- gives you expensive gifts with the tags still on — not because you might want to return them, but because he wants you to see the price.

- keeps a framed photo of you in his office that looks normal at first glance, but it’s placed precisely where every client can see it.

- has detailed notes on what you like to eat, drink, wear, and watch — colorcoded in his day planner or his “PB” working agenda.

- if you’re sick, he doesn’t cook or bring soup — he sends a private doctor with a confidentiality clause.

- tries to impress you by casually quoting obscure art history references while adjusting his tie, waiting to see if you notice.

- gets quiet and dangerous if someone compliments you too enthusiastically in front of him. he’ll smile, but his eyes will narrow like he’s memorizing the moment. they surely won’t make it to the next day.

- has a box titled “dinner with You” with all his best CDs and insists on playing it exactly as-is, no shuffling, because the transitions are “psychologically significant.”

- pretends to be indifferent if you cancel plans but stares at the wall in silence for ten minutes after hanging up.

- talks about you to his colleagues like you’re a divine anomaly in a world of mediocrity, with an intensity that makes them very uncomfortable.

- once watched you sleep for two straight hours, then went to work feeling the most relaxed he’d been in months.

- wakes you up at 6 AM to ask if you’ve been using a different moisturizer because “your skin barrier looked slightly compromised last night.”

- hates when you cry, not because it upsets him emotionally — but because “it makes your face all blotchy and uneven” and you don’t deserve it.

- will deadpan “i’d kill for you” then brush it off as a joke, but you can’t tell if he means it or not. we both know the answer.

- has a custom drawer built in his closet with backup items for you: earrings, gloves, a pair of chanel flats, and antihistamines — “in case you’re ever underdressed or overexposed.”

- read books you mention offhandedly so he can bring them up later with “casual” remarks like, “i thought the pacing in the second act of that novel you liked was weak, but maybe you saw something i didn’t.”

- stares at you across the table in an upscale restaurant, silently analyzing which lighting angle makes your bone structure most symmetrical.

- has backup plans for your birthday three years in advance. each one involves a different country, a different hotel suite, and a different designer outfit laid out for you.

- while going shopping for new suits he takes into account what outfits you have that will match and if they don't match then he'll buy you a new outfit.

- if he ever gets to meet your parents, he'll never stop calling them and asking them all about you.

- if getting a new business card, he will always call you beforehand to make sure you like it and agree on the same font and color.

- if truly in love, yes, he could even dress up as the grinch or agree on wearing matching outfits for christmas dinner at your parents’ house.

- would do literally anything to impress your parents.

- calls you randomly every now and then to make sure you’re safe, especially if you’re walking home at night. he would stay on the line all the way to your house so he keeps you company.

- yes, he would manage to get the fanciest table at dorsia for the first date.

DAY ONE OF THE TWELVE DAYS OF VENUS CHALLENGE ; what happened to the plot?

So excited to start this challenge! Over the years Venus has had many, and I mean many, plots and rewrites so I decided to compile all the ones I can remember for day one of this challenge. I've probably forgotten some because I have the memory of a fish but if you want to refresh my memory there is also an ASK GAME going on for the challenge where you can bring up old Venus plots you loved/remembered. Here's to five years! TW // MENTIONS OF DRUG ADDICTION, DEPRESSION, CHEATING, SEXISM, TOXIC/ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, AND SUICIDE.

TRANSCRIPTION.

Venus at their conception was literally just Baebi and friends. Like, if you think my Yoonah favoritism is bad NOW you should’ve been there for 2019. Truly, I didn’t give a damn about any of the other girls until a little while later when I wanted to project my love for Johnny Suh onto an OC because I was tired of writing in 2nd person lol! The original line up consisted of Baebi, Jaeyeon, Aki, Chloe and Jiah which is probably why I have such an attachment to what I deem “The Big Three”. Baebi, Chloe, and Jiah (now Sena congrats bby) are the only Venus girls I’ve ever really been able to consistently write for which is why they, typically, stick around unlike the rotating fifth slot. Anyways, plots.

The main plot at the time was cenetered around Yoonah and her battle with depression, making her a not great person. At that time, no one had really had a devisive character like that before and I’m only saying that because the amount of anons I would get telling me Yoonah is a bad person and they don’t know why I would write someone like her (she’s so tame by today’s comparison lol) told me that. The community was pretty small, max 12 people at the time so I don’t blame them for being thrown off by this version of Yoonah. She was a lot lol.

Anyways, her love interest at the time was Bang Chan and they had this awful and toxic relationship where she would emotionally and verbally abuse him due to her not being abloe to cope with her depression properly. Truly, this was mainly what the Venus blog was about for a while. Yoonah cheating on Chan, Chan trying to help her, them getting back together, them breaking up, wash and repeat. It was fun to write but I needed to branch out more I don’t remember when I retired this plot if I’m being honest? I just remember it not being a thing anymore expect in fun little easter eggs like Yoonah’s English name being Evie. Chan picked that for her. I think it’s a sweet call back lol!

This was like the main thing about Venus I remember at the time besides the Chloe and Jiah plots but that’s on the next page!

TRANSCRIPTION.

Then there was the Chloe and Jiah plots. I do believe these bleed into 2020, I’m not sure as you’ve noticed I suck with dates lol, but these were impactrful as well. Actually, massively impactful! Especially the Chloe plot which ended up evolving into what is now known as the Chloe and Nakyung situation of 2020(?). We will touch on that later lol.

Let’s start with the star of the show: Chloe. Chloe’s plot was about her insecurities in her looks and relationship. Her relationship with Johnny was very ideal; He loved her, he treated her right, and they had been together for years at that point. Still, in every version of the Johnny Saga, he’d cheat. Always. Which would always fuck with Chloe’s low selfesteem more. Anyways, the plot.

Let’s get it out of the way now: OG Chloe is not the bitch we know today. She was very different. She had no confidence, was weak and naive through and through, and couldn’t stand up for herself. Which is why this plot went down the way it did. Johnny and Chloe were together for 6 years before he started to grow tired of constantly reassuring Chloe he loved her and she was the only girl for him. In comes a girl named Kimi. Kimi was in a now defunct group of mine called Colorcoded andw as originally in the Venus lineup before she left due to bullying by their former leader, Jaeyeon. Long story, send an ask if you wanna know lol!

Anyways, Johnny would go on to cheat on Chloe with Kimi and Chloe only found out about this through DISPATCH…Yeah, insanity. She ended up staying with Johnny because he was all she knew and felt no man would ever love her and it was so pathetic and sad to watch like omg girl get up. Anyways, despite trying to fix their relationship, Chloe could not get over him cheating and would go onto cheat on Johnny with Kun. Crazy NCT love triangle I know. Because of this, they would have a fight and FINALLY part ways. This plot was reworked a few times before completely being tossed because some people were… sexist about it? Weird times. Wouldn’t revisit!

TRANSCRIPTION.

Actually, everyone minus Chanbin in the original Jiah plot has been canceled so…i’m not gonna go there lol sorry!

TRANSCRIPTION.

I really only remember Yoonah’s plots and the Chloe and Nakyung thing happening in 2021…Let’s start with Yoonah since I like talking about her more lol! In 2021, Yoonah’s depression had sunken her to the point of a suicide attempt that was very publicly broadcasted. She was in and out of recovery for a hot minute because that was her whole plot. Her point as a character was to show that recover is never linear. Once Yoonah would reenter public life after her attempt, she would begin her never ending battle with addiction. Her drug addiction was a big focal point of her character at the time since it was literally ruining everything around her. Her job, her relationships, her body, she was killing herself in every chapter basically, and by the time she decided to try and get clean she had nearly lost everything she loved.

I remember she was in a very deep love affair with Jaehyun that would fizzle out once she decided to get clean. I did love them together despite them not being the best for one another…I don’t know, there was just a lot of love between them. Around this time was also when I started develving into Yoonah and Jinhwa’s problematic relationship but I feel that got more developed in 2022. In this timeline, Jinhwa had met Yoonah when she was an adult. Their relationship was still not appropriate but it was a lot more acceptable than it is now. The power imbalance though, had always been there and I do find that a bit devestating. Even if he wasn’t a creep, he was still cruel to her. But, Jinhwa was always a creep, just not to Yoonah which is why I think it often went overlooked.

Anyways, this was pretty formative year for Yoonah since this is really where she began to spiral and her lore started to solidify. Cannot tell you what Jiah and Aki were up to. I think Aki was dating Jennie or Sana? And, honestly, Jiah might not have even been in Venus…IDK weird year.

TRANSCIPTION.

This was the year I made the fatal decision of the Nakyung, Johnny, and Chloe love triangle. If you can’t tell, I don’t like this plot point lol. I don’t think I don’t like it as a plot but I hated the response I got. A lot of people used this plot to push outdated and misogynist opinions onto Chloe and Nakyung, mainly Nakyung, and I could not stand it. It felt like I made like I had made a moster I could not get away from which, truly, is why I removed Nakyung from the lineup this year. Even then, no one would shut up about this plot and it drove me insane lol!

Anyways, this plot was about Nakyung fucking Johnny, Chloe’s boyfriend, while Chloe was asleep in the next room. Sure, it was messy and fun until it wasn’t but that was really the only thing it gave. I guess this birthed the version of Chloe we know today but at what cost? Chloe would begin to bully Nakyung due to the affair, she was literally valid for that idk why everyone was taking Nakyung’s side, and would eventually get her removed from the lineup.

This plot has been revised to not make me go crazy and so no one can ever compare my girls to Cassie of Euphoria ever again.

Y'all I cannot remember anything that happened this year. It was a weird year for Venus and for me personally so I've wiped it and much of early 2023 from my memory lol. Just know, a majority of what occurred here is no longer canon and I'm sorry you had to see that.

Happy five years! Here's to five-hundred more! 💗

[the-terukane-archives]

T4T terukane but it's just them yelling at each other from other sides of a room to remember to take off their binders because they haven't taken them off all day

On a side note my HC is

Teru uses binder tape because it's easier to replace after jobs where he gets bloody or just dirty

Eventually Akane gets him to buy an actual binder. It's the most atrocious looking thing with the worst pattern imaginable and he loves it

And Akane has an assortment of neutral colored binders and like maybe one or two actually colored binders (probably red or purple) I just don't believe he have anything except one colored binders. He's just plain like that (I love him for it)

— Colorcoding Anon (I'll do a Aoinene one later)

i’m so sorry for saying this but what if teru had a miku binder like thomas jefferson.

[lordofthetermites]

WIP Robot, did the uv mapping and separated colorcoded the parts into a texture so i wont be so confused later when making the actual texture.

[jurygarroth]

Forgot to mention each of the bishops has a crown/hat. I don’t know how they work but all that matters for the au is crown = somehow magic. The colorcoding is just there because it was difficult for me to read.

In my au the main 5 shadow knights are artificial Bishops, forcibly made into gods by Shad to replace the old Bishops (the divine warriors) who he killed to seize total power. The lamb is prophesied to either destroy Shad and free his victims or to help him keep the world plunged in darkness as his new Bishop.

Laurence was made to replace Esmund the Bishop of Chaos, Zenix was made to replace Menphia the Bishop of War, Sasha was made to replace Enki the Bishop of Pestilence, and Vylad was made to replace Kul’zak the Bishop of Famine. The colors are just to make this bit easier to read.

Gene is the Bishop of Death, righthand to Shad the God of Death. Gene was created after the new Bishops tried to betray Shad and seal him away in hopes of taking power for themselves. He’s the reason Shad was able to maintain control over the overworld for a time despite being stuck in the nether realm. (Shad didn’t actually care that he was sealed away so long as he was still the one in control of everything.)

The spirits of the Divine Warriors create Aphmau (the lamb) using Irene’s crown, requesting that she destroy Shad and free his bishops to restore order to the world. Shad, who intercepts her the next time she tries to channel them for advice, requests she destroy his Bishops and free him so she can rule with him.

I’d go more into detail but this is already long and I can’t tell if it’s coherent so I’ll just add more later if you’re interested in it.

YAYYYYYYY yes tell me whatever u want about this im doing this

[ozoraslegend]

Alright, when all my works had gone, let me continue my explanation.

I don't mind explaining, as it's a part of my job as a meta bloger! I don't think the colorcoding is much relevant to the partners, if you ask me. About the color table, I take it from the show or the products of Bandai (the Crests color for Adventure, the song for Tamers, and the newest products for 02 and Frontier.)

When being distinct, each season can have their color pallettes. But when being together, I based on the time in day pattern: afternoon for Adventure, dawn for 02, night for Tamers, and dawn for Frontier.

That's why the colors of Tamers trio is darker, and Frontier gang is lighter!

If you need some official sources for the "time in day pattern", then we have the BD boxs of the Seki quartet (Adventure, 02, Tamers, Frontier):

So, it's a sideways run in the day for Adventure and 02, a run towards the center camera in the night for Tamers, and a run fanned out in the dawn for Frontier.

About Takato, his personality is not much introverted? Beside sketching and making breads (and watching Digimon anime), I think he is quite active, spending time with Hirokazu and Kenta (and later are all others!) He doesn't have much introvert tendency when he suggested Tamers to save Culumon.

As much as Takato is a “soft” person, he’s not necessarily very “kind” or “nice”, especially during the early parts of the series; he can get possessive or clingy, petty, or even a little arrogant (Tamers episode 11 basically has him go on a mini-power trip based on his card combo having worked so well in the prior episode, which ends up becoming part of his isolation from Hirokazu and Kenta in the following one). Moreover, Takato loses his emotional composure and becomes a crying mess as early as Tamers episode 2, and while it’s not like other characters in Adventure and 02 hadn’t been prone to emotional outbursts, combine it with the above facts and you get the take-home that Takato isn’t “soft” out of an active choice to be so as much as he’s just really, really lacking in emotional mettle to begin with. To be fair to him, Takato has to deal with quite a bit more stress during the early parts of Tamers than Haru has to during the equivalent parts; having to deal with a Digimon partner that’s outright feral at times and doesn’t have a fully intelligent understanding of how to communicate is a pretty rough thing to start off with. That said, Takato is fairly cowardly even in situations that don’t necessarily have to do with this, it’s just that this makes it worse – but it means a lot that Takato himself is willing to put in that much effort in bonding with Guilmon despite being initially intimidated by what he’d just created, and that perhaps is what’s the beginnings of how he continues to develop that strength of heart for the rest of the series (and also extends to how he’s the one who connects with Grani).

-by shihalyfie, from The difference between Takato and Haru

Although I think Shiha is quite hard to Takato (and she tends to have a doubtful look on Tamers), but she has some points. I suggest you should read that specific blog!

There're more reasons, but I won't repeat something one meta blogger had written about. That's why I think Takato is more fitted to a darker shade of red, both from his personality and the theme of Tamers.

Had I stated in my previous reblog that my color patterns are taken from official sources?

About Haru:

*The first problem: If Haru is red, then Yuujin will be green. And... for all things I love of our android, Yuujin is not relevant much to green, beside the OP2 of Appmon.

*The second: You may ask why I put Takato and Haru in different colors? They go so against the usual “brash hero” archetype common to not only Digimon but also shounen franchises in general, being significantly more mild-mannered (on a language level, they’re also the only Digimon protagonists to date who use the more polite boku first-person pronoun instead of the more assertive ore. Even Hiro uses ore, and that's why his color should be different). Haru himself even points out in Appmon’s very first episode that this kind of personality would normally be more suited towards a side character than a protagonist!

Then...? It's just that the reason for the color is very different!

Takato serves to address how someone who doesn’t fulfill the typical protagonist mold would cope with situations that somewhat resemble those in Adventure, what would happen when a Digimon partner is fundamentally different from oneself, and how one would still be able to grow alongside such an existence. Thus, his own character arc is more relevant to his own personal growth in accordance with interacting with Guilmon and what he gets out of his journey.

The red color defines how he improves himself to have the important qualities he needs to be the hero he wants to be. Takato is the protagonist of Tamers, because the significance is more in line with the sheer amount of emotional growth Takato had to go through in order to get to this point at all, and how someone normally so divorced from the concept of heroism could come to do something so meaningful, especially thanks to his interactions with Guilmon and growing alongside him. There’s absolutely no doubt that Takato wouldn’t have been able to do this kind of thing at the beginning of the series, so it’s a huge accomplishment that shouldn’t be watered down.

But Haru is not like that! He is the protagonist not because he has qualities of one. At the end of the series, Haru is still Haru, he doesn't get more determination or courage or emotional growth.

Haru sacrifices something closely personal to him for the sake of everything else.

It is the main problem: it's his choice.

in other words, Takato is someone who is not cut out to be a protagonist of any kind of adventure at the start of Tamers, even though he thinks he now gets the luxury of being one due to the circumstances he’s thrust into, whereas Haru is already someone with the potential to be one even at the start of the series, but initially lacks the self-confidence to consider himself able to be so. Thus, Takato’s character arc involves having to actually grow into someone worthy of the position, whereas Haru’s involves coming to terms with the aspects of himself he already has but doesn’t quite understand yet.

So, with many differences in their character arcs, Takato is more relevant to the red color, while Haru should be colorcoded by green. It's just that Haru doesn't need the "red" colorcoding to be the protagonist, he is the protagonist because he is a kind person, he does have very deep understanding of what he’s dealing with – and chooses to be idealistic and kind anyway. Because he CHOOSED to be KIND, he is the protagonist.

*The third problem: How can you summary Haru's personality? "thoughtful, intellectual, very in touch with his own feelings, assertive, resilient, strong in heart, and kind out of choice even when he doesn’t have to be", this description is near to... Ken. Who has the green colorcode. You can say that Haru is Ken with a bit more of Daisuke’s more outwardly bright, friendly, and supportive traits, being putted in the protagonist role.

With all of these reasons, it's difficult for me to put Haru in any other color than green. He is the protagonist because he is supportive, he is kind, and he makes the right choice.

I hope my presentation had helped you understand my reasons!

And now for a big one!! Here's something I made for last year's Odaiba Memorial. I had been planning it since the previous year and it took me a while to complete but I'm so proud of myself for having finished it in time :')

Digimon has been a huge part of my life since I was very little and I grew alongside the various seasons of the anime so I wanted to pay a little homage to it by drawing all the main protagonists so far! If you check the individual posts on my Instagram you can read a little about my experiences and memories with each season~

LEO'S GENDER REVEAL

Price comic for winning the first round of @tmntaucompetition !

COLORCODED TMNT ITERATION

WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ? CHECK IT OUT BELOW :D

When April returned from the bathroom, battle outfit off, and the dreaded fake breasts that started this mess back on, Leo was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t really surprising. But it was worrying. The common room was empty of any presence, including the pets. But, there was a trail. From the front door to the corridor that led to the boys’ rooms, discarded battle gear littered the ground.

And April was stressed. When April is stressed, she cleans things. She picked them up and gently put them on a table, folded neatly, separated by colors.

“Leo, come on man ! This is ridiculous, just open the door !”

Anyone who wasn’t used to Raph would think he was angry. The tone was sharp and calm, and the constant pounding of his fist against Leo’s door probably wouldn’t help. But Raph wasn’t mad. No, he was frustrated, and worried.

Leo and Raph always sought each other for comfort, and even when they didn’t, the other would come comfort them.

To Raph, not being able to get into the room and give his twin a hug or distract him from what was bothering him, not being able to make sure he was okay… It was torture.

April wasn’t surprised when she stepped in the corridor, to see Raph’s scrunched up face in worry, constantly fidgeting, scratch marks all over his forearm. He paced in front of Leo’s room, shaking his hands with energy, suddenly stopping to pound on the door some more, and resuming when he doesn’t get an answer.

Casey, Donnie and Mikey were sitting next to the door, while Meets leaned against the opposite wall. Splinter was with them, quietly catching up on what happened and why they had to cancel patrol for the night.

Donnie was tapping away on his phone, clearly opening and closing the same app over and over again. Mikey was leaning against him, struggling to keep his eyes open, but doing his best to jolt awake whenever his eyelids dropped too low. Casey leaned on the wall on the other side, occasionally whispering something to him that Donnie would answer just as low.

April went to Raph.

“I’m surprised you haven’t kicked the door down yet. I’d thought you would all be inside.”

“We would,” Answered Donnie, effectively jolting Mikey awake for the 5th time, “but when we tried to get in, he threw pillows at us until we were far enough for him to lock the door.”

‘Plus, we don’t want Donnie to be the one that has to fix the door later’ Supplied Meets.

“But why isn’t he answering ? He should at least be answering, right ? What if he hurt himself ? We should go in-”

April slowly crept even closer to Raph, who couldn’t get his eyes off the door. She reached out to his fidgeting hands but stopped an inch or two before touching. Without sparing a glance, Raph breached the gap and held her hands tight.

“He should have answered. Why isn’t he answering, Pril ?”

His hands were a bit awkward to hold onto, as he had now started to bounce on his heels, unable to keep still until he was able to check on his twin.

Raph finally looked at her and she sighed.

She gently rubbed his hands in a slow circle motion.

“Let me try, okay ?”

Still holding one of his hand to anchor him -despite the bouncing-, April knocked on Leo’s door.

“Hey, Leo ? It’s April, can I come in ?”

“...”

“Just me, Lee. Just me.”

A beat passed, and the faintest of click resonated in the quiet corridor. Raph instinctively rushed forward, but Splinter put a soft hand on his shoulder to hold him back.

“If Leonardo wants to see just April, my son, let him see just her for now.”

“But… Dad, he’s-”

“He’s confused and hurting and needs someone, and that someone is April. Once he feels better, we’ll all be able to see him, is that okay ?”

Raph looked over to the slightly open door, then to April that had still yet to let go of his hand. He reached over with his free hand to his forearm but Splinter gently took it before he could scratch himself. His dad offered a soft smile, gently patting his hand.

Raph let the tension leave his body, sagging like a rag doll.

“Fine, yeah...”

April gave a smile of her own and after one last squeeze, entered Leo’s room, closing the door behind her.

The room was a mess. It was already a wonder she was able to see it’s mess, considering how dark it was. The only light was coming from under the door, and some blue fairy lights she didn’t think Leo knew how to turn off.

The room was filled with destroyed wigs that she had never seen before, but that were probably gorgeous before they were ripped apart, dresses that came straight from a designer closet, with some intricate patterns and embroideries that must have taken hours to make now gone to rags thanks to some randomly placed scissors cut.

Makeup stained the floors, a lipstick that was crushed by someone’s heel, a powder that spilled all over the carpet…

April cautiously stepped around the mess, sitting on the bed next to a curled up Leonardo relatively unscathed.

He hadn’t even looked up, didn’t bother twitching as she sat beside him.

“What’s all this ?”

April worried for a moment, that she shouldn’t have spoken. Maybe all he wanted was some company, not to talk about it. As the seconds passed and no answer came, but Leo didn’t kick her out, she relaxed, gently leaning onto him. If he just wanted company, then she’d give him that.

“I don’t know. My inner girl that was trying to come out before I knew it I guess.”

Leo had looked up to the mess, his snout still buried in his arms, the slightest hint of eyes shiny from tears peeking out. April didn’t know what to say to that. She never really saw Leo wearing any of these, none of his usual dresses were in the mix. He seemed mad at something he did, but that was something she didn’t know about.

But she did come here to help, and if Leo was engaging, maybe he wanted an answer ? What answer could she give ?

“Ooooookay ?”

“I’m not a girl.”

Well, that seemed to work.

“No, you’re not.”

Finally, he looked at her, and April couldn’t help thinking about how his twin acted exactly the same only moments prior.

She smiled, gently pulling him closer to her until his cheek was almost squashed against her knees. Her big brother had always loved tight physical affection, and this time was no different as he instantly relaxed against her.

“You’re a boy, always been a boy. You’re Leo, you use he/him pronouns, and you say you’re a boy. So you are. You just… happened to be a boy without the dangly bits.”

The turtle let out a dry snicker, amused by her synonym. She couldn’t see the bottom of his face yet, as his eyes that had a spark of amusement dulled again, but she hoped he smiled, at least a little.

“I-it’s not the same.”

“Okay. Do you think I’m less of a girl because I do have dangly bits ?”

“What ? No ! Of course not !”

“Then why do you think you’re less of a boy than you were yesterday ?”

Leonardo grows quiet at that. His defensive position was gone, and he was playing with one of her sleeves, his eyes drifting somewhere else as he thought of the answer. April was rubbing slow circles on his shell, chin resting on top of his head, patiently waiting.

He already seemed less distressed than before. Talking about it, putting it into words, and more importantly, having his gender reaffirmed were some important steps to take. She knew he picked her specifically to take these steps because her experience was probably the closest to his, even if it wasn’t exactly the same.

“I thought… I thought I was… normal. I guess.”

April froze, and pushed him away just enough to look at him dead in the eyes.

“Leo. I love you, you’re my brother. But there’s nothing normal about you.”

He blinked a few times, and then realization and frustration fell on his face. He threw his hands in the air in such a childish way April couldn’t contain the giggles that bubbled up.

“I know, it’s not that ! It’s- UGH ! I don’t know how to explain it.”

He crossed his arms and pouted and April pulled him back into the side hug. Quickly, his tension left and he melted like he always did when presented with physical affection.

Leo was quiet for a bit longer than before, thinking, trying to put words into his feelings, and April was happy to let him do so. The silence was familiar, comfortable, and more at ease. Not still quite relaxed, but close to it. They weren’t far to breaking down the last point Leo felt uncomfortable with.

Although it’d be better if done quickly, as she could see that Raph pacing had resumed, and were getting more frantic the longer they were in there without any information given to the outside.

Oh Leo was not getting out of Raph’s hug.

“I’m not- I’m not trans.”

It was quiet, almost muttered, and if the room was completely silent, April would have missed it. Like he was embarrassed, or ashamed to say it. Or he was scared of the answer.

“Of course you aren’t.”

He glanced up at her, eyes big and wide and confused. Like it wasn’t a possibility. Like he was doomed with a label that felt bad and uncomfortable.

“I’m not…?”

“If you don’t want to be trans, Leo, then you’re not. It’s not as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. They’re just words. If you don’t want that label, then it’s not yours. Cis Leonardo who happens to not have dangly bits, why not !”

The turtle contemplated that for a minute, letting the words sink in.

“So… I’m not trans.”

“Do you want to be ?”

“No ! I-I mean… no. No. I don’t want to.”

“It all comes down to this you know. Everything. What do you want to do, or be ? As long as it doesn’t hurt you or others, you can do anything. You can be a vigilante. You can make art on walls, you can dress funny in public, carry a plushie… Does it hurt you or someone else ? No ? Then who cares.”

They sat in silence a little bit longer, enjoying each other presence.

The last of the tension had left, and April could already feel Leo preparing to face the rest of the family, whether it’d be from the quick glance at the door, or the occasional twitch, like he was about to move but decided against it at the last second.

The turtle was fully pressed against her, soaking in the physical affection, taking it in and changing it into bravery to answer the questions of his siblings and explain how he felt about it.

April was happy to provide.
