โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Izana (breeding kink)
๐ด Izana is surprisingly gentle at first, he wants to make your first time as pain free as possible. But as soon as he feels you thrusting your hips against his and basically fucking him back, he's gone, eyes rolled back and everything (I believe in extra sensitive!Izana). It also didn't help that you were whining for him not to pull out, the mere thought of cumming inside you had him seeing stars. He spent the rest of the night fucking, filling, and overstimulating you.
Kakucho (cum play)
๐ฉท Kakucho literally makes the sweetness love to you, and it's not until after that he finds out how freaky you really are. After he pulls out and takes the condom off, he's shocked (and aroused) to see you take it out of his hand and raise it to your lips, swallowing every drop of his cum from it. He's standing there for a solid minute or two just staring at you before finally mustering up the courage to politely ask you if you want more.
Ran (daddy kink)
๐ Ran knows it's your first time, so he's going nice and slow with you...up until you call him daddy. He doesn't even say anything, he just smirks because he knew you were an undercover freak. He starts going slower, trying to make you whine and beg for him. He'll only speed up again if you call him daddy again though.
Rindou (spit play)
๐ฉต Rindou loves the way you hide your face when he starts fucking you, he thinks it's cute that you're so shy. You're a lot less shy by the time he finds the perfect rhythm though, your hands roaming all over his body as he pounds into your pussy. Eventually your hands find their way to his hair, tangling in his locks and pulling him into a kiss. He thinks it's just a sweet little kiss and it was, until you slipped your tongue in his mouth. He just couldn't help but moan into the kiss before sliding his tongue into your mouth in return. And he definitely picked up on the way you clenched around him when his spit mixed with yours and started dripping down your lips and chin. He found your weakness, so expect him to exploit it to the fullest extent from now on.
Mucho (size kink)
๐ Mucho didn't think much of it when you mentioned how big he was, he knew you were just stating the obvious and probably a little nervous since you were a virgin. But when he kept hearing you say it in between the occasional moan or whimper while he was fucking you, that's when he realized just how much the difference in size turned you on. And he definitely didn't mind, if anything he started doing things to make the size difference more obvious. He grabbed your thighs and pressed your legs closer to your body, making you bend in ways you didn't know you could. He manhandled you, touching you with more force to show off his strength. But his new favorite thing was pressing his hand against the prominent bulge in your tummy, chuckling softly as you moaned and writhed in pleasure underneath him.
Mochi (degradation)
๐ก Mochi knew it was your first time, so he was extra careful not to hurt you...physically anyways. You just looked so cute underneath him, he couldn't help but tease you a little. Whispering dirty praises in your ear, telling you how good of a slut you were for him. He'd totally understand if you weren't into it, but the smile on his face when he felt your pussy gripping him tighter gave away the absolute delight he felt in knowing that you were just as nasty as him.
Shion (biting)
โฅ๏ธ Shion took his sweet time when he took your virginity, mainly because he was a virgin too and wanted your first time together to be special. He gently thrusted in and out of you with his face buried in the crook of your neck, planting soft kisses all over. All his gentle efforts went out the window when he felt your teeth sinking into his shoulder though. He had an almost visceral reaction to the bite, letting out a gasping moan and gripping your thighs tighter as he slowed down his thrusts, trying desperately not to cum inside you. He didn't know how to react, so he did what his body told him to and gently bit you back, his dick twitching inside you as he heard you let out a soft whimper. You two spent the rest of the night in each other's arms, fucking gently and nipping at each other's skin.
Hanma (rough sex)
๐ต๏ธ Hanma knew you were a virgin and was fully prepared to be gentle with you, at least at first. As soon as he bottomed out in you he knew damn well he wasn't going to be gentle the entire time. And your soft moans and the way you begged him to go harder only spurred him on. By the end of the night he was balls deep in your pussy with no intentions of ever being gentle in the bedroom again.

Mikey couldnโt do anything right now. Likeโฆanything.
Wellโฆperhaps he was being aย bitย tooย dramatic.ย He wasย breathing.ย And he wasย fidgeting with his squishy cube.ย So saying he wasnโt doingย 'anything'ย wasnโt entirely true.
Right now he justโฆcouldnโt do anythingโฆproductive.ย
For example, the box turtleย triedย making his favorite dishes and deserts! Butย thatย endeavor just ended up being aย hugeย messย in the kitchenโฆandย leaving the youngest turtle with aย bunchย of unappetizing food.ย
Which he fed all to Raph by the way.ย
Some would call that choice of action cruel but Mikey would just call itย 'using his resources'.ย
Besides, itโs not like the eldest minded at all. He said, and I quote:ย 'It has a niceโฆcrunchyย feeling to it. Did you put some of Donโs inventions in this?'
Which honestly got a couple of chuckles out of the smallest turtle teen of the bunch.
Then, Mikeyย triedย skateboarding! But for once in all his 14 years of livingโฆit was just utterlyย boring.ย
And after all of that nonsense, Mikey thenย finallyย triedย reading a comicโฆbut he was too unfocused to even get to theย second pageโฆ
But what wasย reallyย new? Mikey could never focus on jackshit even if said jackshit hit himย rightย in the shell.ย
His brothers and sister would always have to remind him toย stay focusedย orย 'not do this'ย orย 'not do that'.
For example, a couple days ago Donnie had toย kindlyย remind the box turtle (wellโฆas kindly asย Donnie could be anywayโฆ) to brush his teeth.
To. Brush. His.ย Fucking. Teeth.ย
And honestly? Having to be reminded to do that wasย reallyย embarrassing. And the orange banded teenย knewย his brother didnโtย meanย to humiliate him internallyโฆbutโฆyeah.
And itโs not like the softshell wasย wrongย either! The youngest turtle just couldnโt freaking accept that he himself couldnโt do such a simple task in the morning.ย
But literallyย every taskย heย completely fails to doย is justย utterly simple ones!
Like cleaning his room or not forgetting things or even keeping track of time!ย
โฆAnd the sad part about all of it was Mikey justย honestlyย couldย notย understandย how his family havenโt gotten sick of his annoying tendenciesโฆ
And letโs be for real hereโฆthat was basicallyย allย of his tendencies.ย
The box turtle groaned loudly in his room, slamming his whole body on his bed as heย screamedย into his pillow.ย
There had to beย somethingย he could do instead of just wallowing in his own self pityโฆ
And one of those options couldย notย consist of bothering his family with his random bad mood. They had to put up with him 24/7โฆtheย leastย he could do was give them some space.
The youngest then glanced at his drawing notebook hopefullyโฆ
โฆOne little sketch of something random wouldnโt hurt, right?
The amber eyed teen reached for his notebook, grabbing a pen from his drawer as he started to sketch his desk becauseย why the absoluteย fuckย not?ย Based on the objects heโs drawn in the pastโฆsketching a simple desk should and will beย easy,ย right? Right.ย
Thatย wasย until the orange banded teenโs pencil tip broke.ย But it wasย fine!ย He could just re-sharpen it,ย right?ย Right.
Thatย wasย until the youngest realized he had absolutely no clue where his sharpener was due to the fact his room looked like a pig stie. And there wasย no wayย he was looking for it inโฆthat whole situation.ย
โฆThe situation he created in the first place.ย
Michelangelo layed on his bed with his face staring at the ceiling in frustration, he ran his fingernails along his arms, not making really deep cuts with them but going deep enough for it to hurt a bit.
Like a reasonable turtle would, Mikey should probably get one of his stress toysโฆor better yet,ย another pencil!
But letโs be for real hereโฆheโd most likely find a way to fuck that up too.
Suddenly, there was a small, quiet knock on Mikeyโs door butโฆin all honesty? He just wanted to crawl into his shell and sob for the next hour and a half. Letting out a niiiiice and quick 'come in' would takeย wayย too much energy.ย
The box turtle let out a soft grunt, letting whoever was on the other side know it was a-okay to come in.
Abruptly, Leo peeked in the room, a wide smile plastered on his face as he closed the door, โDamn, Mikesterโฆit looks like every single natural disaster went through your roomโฆโ
โIโm cleaning it.โ The youngest grumbled to his brother.
โReally?ย Youย sureย about that, little bro? Because if my memory serves me correctย (which it in-fact does), you said thatย last week.ย And the week before thatโฆand the week beforeโโ
โI SAID IโM FUCKING CLEANING IT!!!โ The orange banded turtle snapped, sitting up on the bed to glare at his immediate older brother before slowly realizing what he just did.ย
The youngestโs heart dropped as he looked away from his brother. The orange banded mutantโs eyed widened as silent and small tears ran down his face. He covered his mouth as his other hand turned to a fist, his nailsย unforgivinglyย digging into his palm.
โI-Iโm sorryโฆIโm s-sorryโฆI-Iโm so s-sorryโฆ!โ He started, rocking himself back and forth before stopping as he was met with a warm embrace. Leonardo hugged him gently but firmly, rubbing the otherโs shell in a comforting hold. โWoah woahโฆ! Bud, you have nothing to apologize forโฆโ The slightly older teen said as he rested his chin on the top of his baby brotherโs head.
โL-Like h-hell I donโt. I-I just screamed a-at y-you forย noย reasonโฆโ Michelangelo wobbly said. โYou were just trying to lighten the mood but I justย hadย to make everything harder like I-I always doโฆ!โย
โMikeyโโ
โI-I alwaysย do this.ย I-Iโm so f-fucking s-sorry Leoโฆโ
โMikesterโฆI-I appreciate the apology but it seriously isnโt necessaryโโ
โYouโre probably soย sickย of me and soย angryย at me. I-Iโm sorry I justโโ
โMikey!โ Leo gently yelled to get the otherโs attention, squeezing the smaller turtleโs hands as he stared straight at him with pleading eyes. โDo Iย lookย mad?โ
โโฆN-No.โ
โDo Iย soundย mad?โ
โโฆNo.โย
The second youngest sadly smiled, โSo what are you apologizing for, hm?โ
โโฆI-IโฆdunnoโฆI-I justโฆI just felt I needed to apologizeโฆโ The box turtle mumbled as he looked at his hands. The blue banded turtle sighed, slowly getting out of the hug so him and his little brother faced each other. The slider rubbed the other turtleโs palm with his thumb comfortingly, โโฆDo you wanna talk about it, baby bro?โ
The leader in blue was just met with silenceโฆwhich he could honestly work with.
โAngeloโฆyou know you can tell meโฆanything,ย right? Likeโฆanything.ย Although, it doesnโtย haveย to beย meย you talk to about it. It could be Raph or Don or April or even Dad or Draxum! I justโฆdonโt want you sitting here and bottling up the way you feelโฆโย
Silence. Leo continued.
โYouโre always there when we need you, Angel. Whether itโs to vent or to just ramble about shit, youโre justโฆalways there.ย We donโt tell you this enough but we appreciate you always being someone we can lean onโฆโ
Silence. Leo continued.
โButโฆyou do know you can lean on us too, right?ย Comfort goes both ways and I can see youโre hurting, buddy. Soย pleaseโฆif you need to talk to meโฆIโm right here.โ
Mikey sniffled, squeezing Leoโs hand, โI-I d-dunno. Today is justโฆweird.ย This wholeย weekย has just beenโฆweird.โ Leo nodded, giving his brother his full undivided attention, โHow so?โ
โI justโฆhavenโt been able to do anythingโฆโ The smaller teen admitted.
โWhat do you mean?โ The taller teen inquired.ย
โI havenโt been able to doโฆanything.ย Like, I canโt draw, cook or even skateboard!ย Me!!!ย Not being able toย skateboardโย isnโt that crazy?!โ The amber eyed turtle laughed bitterly.
โAnd itโs not like Iย canโtย do it. Iโm perfectly freaking capable of doing it in the right amount of time I want but my brainย just. wonโt. let. me!โย
โI keep procrastinating and not doing the stuff I want to do and I have no ideaย why!ย Iโmย tiredย of just putting things off and being this way! I want to do thingsย withoutย having to ask you guys for help or to remind me or to relate it with a hyperfixation that I have!โ Mikey hiccuped, a new wave of tears rolling down his face as his hands shook.ย
The amber eyed teen sniffled, refusing to look at his immediate older brother at all right now becauseโฆholyย shitย he just overshared a whole lotโฆ
Likeโฆaย whooooooooooleย freaking lot.
โโฆThat sounds like you.โ Leonardo shrugged.ย
In a state of just shock and confusion, the box turtle pulled his hands away from his brother, looking up at him as lime green eyes met amber ones. โIโฆwhatโฆ?โ Michelangelo murmured.
โIย saidย that sounds like you.โ Leo said again casually as Mikey glared at him, โYeah. Iย heardย what you said but that isnโt helpful.โ
โIโm just being honest with you, Mikester.โ Leo said, โJustโฆlet me explain, okay?โ
โโฆYou have five minutes before I kick you out of my room.โย
โDeal.โ The lime green eyed mutant commented, โYou canโt draw, cook or skateboard right now. Youโre procrastinating and not doing the stuff you want to do in the time you plannedโฆis that correct?โย
Michelangelo sent deathly daggers to his brotherโ which the other wasnโt phased by at all. This time was probably theย best timeย to crawl in his own shell and just sob his eyes out becauseย what kind ofย dumbassย question was hisย dumbassย brother asking him?!
โโฆYes.โ The orange banded teen mumbled.ย
โAndโฆwhy are those bad things?โย
โWHY?!โ The box turtle huffed out a laugh of annoyance, โPfftโย youโre asking meย why.ย Maybe itโs because itโsย annoying?!ย Maybe because itโsย frustratingย to deal with and Iย donโtย want to burden you guys withย myย problems?! Maybe because I donโt want to fucking feel orย beย this way?!โ The youngest shouted, breathing heavily as he finished his rant.ย
The box turtle looked away again, silently cursing at himself for getting annoyed so easily. โMikey.โ Leo started again, โYour being too hard on yourself, okay? No one is expecting you to be at your 100% all the time.โย
โWhat you just described to me; you being able to not focus or you getting bored easily or procrastinating with stuff isโฆliterally you.ย Youโre just being you.โ The slider explained as he held his baby brotherโs hand in his. โAnd I get it.ย Itโs hard to deal with it sometimes and itโs going to be hella frustrating. Likeโฆsuper borderline frustrating.ย But you canโt shun them away and justโฆtry to ignore them, bubsโฆโ
โLetโs takeย moiย for example. Iโm impulsive, I talk loud and lose thingsย daily.ย Those three things donโt make up my whole personality but it would be super weird and off-putting if I justโฆdidnโt do or have those three things, right?โย
The youngest giggled wetly, โYeahโฆit would. A-And by the way, Iโm still waiting for you to find that glittery pen kit I gave youโฆโ
Leonardo groaned loudly and dramatically, causing the other teen to giggle louder, โIโmย lookingย for it, okay?! Itโs in my roomโฆsomewhere.โ The taller mutant mused, โBut anywaysโฆback toย you.ย You procrastinate, you relate things to your hyperfixations and you canโt do some of your favorite tasks from time to timeโฆthose are some traits that make up you, is it not?โย
Mikey sniffled, rolling his eyes playfully due to the fact he knewย damn wellย where this was going, โYeahโฆโย
Leo smiled softly, seeing his younger brother was starting to get his point, โI wouldnโt change a single thing about you, okay? I know sometimes itโs hard to deal with the things you described but you haveย usย for that.โ He said as his smile turned to a grin.ย
โYou can come toย meโย toย usโย anytime.ย We love you for who you areโฆyour flaws and all and we justโฆI-I need you to know that we love you so so muchโ!โ The slider was cut off by a sudden abrupt embrace from the box turtle. The orange banded teen sobbed into the otherโs shoulder, clutching the taller turtle like a lifeline.ย
โT-Thank youโฆโ The box turtle wobbly said through tears.ย ย
โOf course, Angel.โ Leo said as he hugged his baby brother back, โI love you.โ He said as he kissed the other teen on the head.
โI-I l-love you tooโฆโ
.
.
.
.
.
.
โTell your thoughts to shut up.โ Leo said as he lightly poked Mikey in the forehead numerous times. The two were sitting on the box turtleโs bed just simplyโฆrelaxing and enjoying each otherโs company.ย Michelangelo was sitting in between his older brotherโs legs as he had his shell to his brotherโs plastron.
Leonardo hugged his brother protectively, resting his chin on the top of the box turtleโs head. โWhat do you mean?โ The youngest giggled out. โI canย hearย your thoughts, man. Youโre not bothering me or disturbing me in any way, shape or form, alrightโฆ?โย
The amber eyed turtle nodded, squeezing Leoโs hand, โY-YeahโฆI know...โย
โIโmย choosingย to be here becauseย I love you.ย I donโt feel obligated to be here, okay? Youโre not annoying and you, neither your problems are a burdenโฆokay?โ The slider said reassuringly, โItโs okay to ask us for helpโฆand we donโt mind reminding you to do thingsโฆokay?โย
โYouโve said โokayโ like,ย fifty timesโฆโ
โMikey.โย
โMhmโฆyeah yeahโฆI gotchaโฆโ
The elder looked at his brother skeptically, resting his chin on his little brotherโs shoulder so they made solid eye contact, โI want you to say it.โย
โโฆSayย whatย exactly?โ
โI want you to say that you are anย amazing personย and you donโt need to change aย single thingย about yourself.โย
โYouย are an amazing person andย youย donโt need to change a single thing aboutย yourself.โ Michelangelo grinned smugly. Leonardo glared at the youngestโs interpretation to his statement, โMikey, you know exactly what I meant.โย
โI said what you wanted me to sayโฆsoโฆโ The amber eyed teen trailed off.
โMichelangelo.โ The slider said in a warning tone as he poked the otherโs side. The box turtle squeaked at the unexpected touch, trying to stop his immediate older brother from doing it again but his brother had a strong but gentle grip on himโฆ
Then the smallest turtle came to recognition that he was stuck in aย potentialย tickle hug with no way outโฆ
โฆHow wonderful.ย
โL-Leeheeoโฆdoohooย nahat.โ The orange banded mutant warned through his giggles, said warning not seemingย tooย threatening due to the fact he was already laughing up a storm. The leader in blue raised a brow, poking the otherโs side repeatedly, โI just want you to repeat what I saidโฆin theย first person.โ The taller teen specified.
The smaller turtle squirmed in the hug, small frantic giggles pouring out of his mouth.ย Thisโฆreally wasnโt how he was expecting his day to go.ย Just about an hour ago, he was wallowing in sadness about the stuff he hated about himself, toย talking about itย with his brother, to now gettingย tickledย by his brother.
โฆSo could heย reallyย complain about how things turned out?
โฆYes. Yes, heย absolutelyย could.ย ย
โLeeheeon!ย Plehease dohonโt!โ The youngest squealed as one of his brotherโs hands hovered over his stomach. Mikey held onto the otherโs wrists, trying to stop his elder brother from tickling him but his small attempts ending up to be all for nothing as Leo effortlessly tickled his stomach with one hand.
โLEEHEEHAHAHA!!โ Michelangelo laughed wholeheartedly, swatting at his brotherโs arms. The lime green eyed turtle cooed at the gesture, now using both of his hands to attack the youngestโs plastron, โD'awwโฆlook at you giggling your head off~! Youโre my adorable little bundle of amazingness, arenโt you~?โ
The smaller teen shook his head, a faint blush appearing on his face, โSTAHAโ squeal N-NAHAHA!โ
โWhat~? What was that?โ The blue banded mutant asked as he kneaded the box turtleโs hips. โGYAHAHโ squealย SHIHIHIT!ย COHOME OHAHAN!!!โ The amber eyed turtle cried frantically as he kicked his legs on the mattress slightly.ย
The youngest squealed with laughter, curling in on himself as he slumped in his big brotherโs hold. Leonardo just sighed fondly at the action, wrapping the other in another hug as he raspberried his neck. โLEEHEEHEE!! PLAHAHโ squeak NAHAHAT THEHERE squeak PLEHEASE PLEHEASEโ squeak!!!โ
โNot there~?โ The elder lightly mocked, โWhat aboutโฆhere~?โ He mused as he used his hands to scribble all over the younger turtleโs ribs. Mikey cackled, shaking his head to try and atย leastย subside the tickly feelings.
โNAHAHAโ squeal AHAHAHA!! NAHAHAT THEHEHERE EHEโ squeal EHEHEITHER!!! LEEHEEO!!โ The orange banded turtle squeaked as Leo stopped for a second, โIโve triedย soooooย many spots, buddy! How many times are you gonna say not there, hm?โ
Mikey genuinely squawked louder than a firefighter siren, squirming so much it looked like he was actually being electrocuted. โPLEHEHAHA LEEHEEO NAHAHAT THEHEHE RIHIHIBS!!!โ He cackled.ย
โNot the riiiibs~? Why~? Is it because itโs yourย tickleย spot~? Yourย tickletickletickleย spot~? Because youโreย ticklish~?โ Leonardo asked as he lightly nibbled the crook of Mikeyโs neck.ย
Michelangelo screamed in laughter, scrunching up his shoulders as he dug his heels on the bed, a couple of his plushies sadly falling on the floor (R.I.P. manโฆ) โEEEHEEHEEP!!!ย S-STAHAP BEEHEEING MEEHEAN!โ Mikey said as he thrashed on the bed.ย
The slider said nothing, his hands sneaking up to the box turtleโs underarms. โAAAAHAHAHA!ย OHO NOHOHOโ squeak SHIT! SHIHIHAHAT!โ
Happy tears slowly begin to appear in the smallest teenโs eyes, he weakly hit Leoโs arms as a last attempt to be set free, โLEHEHEMME squeal GOHOHOHO!โย
โOhonly if you sahay it, bubs.โย
โIHIHIโ SQUEAK!! LEEHEEHEEON!!!โย
โYeeeees, baby brother~?โ The elder dragged out as he kneaded the otherโs hips.
โIHIโLL SAHAY IHIHAT I-IHIHIโLL SAHAHAY IHIT!!โ The amber eyed teen squealed.ย
โAnd you promise not to be a sassy little shit about it~?โ The older teen asked.

Leo stopped tickling his little brother, hugging him protectively as the youngest caught his breath slowly but surely. โW-Wahaitโฆwhahat squeak wahas ihihat yohou eeheeven wahanted me squeak to sahay again?โย
The taller turtle pondered for a bit, thinking to himself before loudly groaning, โThatโsโฆa good damn question. I donโt really remember exactly what I wanted you to say in the first placeโฆโ The lime green eyed turtle sighed, โForgetfulness at its finest...โย
The red eared slider adjusted himself, making sure the other was comfortable before starting to speak again, โWellโฆbased on what we talked aboutโฆcould you maybe justโฆy'knowโฆโ Leo gestured with his hands before groaning, โDo you get what Iโm trying to say, man?โย
โโฆI thihink I have ahan ideaโฆโ Mikey giggled as he fiddled with his hands, โI shouldnโt beat myself up so much because of some of my traits or quirks.

Michelangelo smiled softly, rubbing his palm with his thumb, โThey donโt define me as a person but theyย makeย me a person. I donโt need to be at my best 100% and Iโmย allowedย to have bad days. And if things get too overwhelming or difficult I can just go to you guys.โย
Mikey hugged himself, letting out a small laugh as his happy tears welled up in his eyes, โIโm justโฆbeing me.ย And thereโs nothing wrong with that.โ Leonardo teared up at his brotherโs words, hugging him tighter than he ever had before and burying his face at the back of the youngestโs head.
โNever forget that, Miguelitoโฆnever forget that.โย

(concept art of young taigen - source ; art credit: @abigaillarson)
i cannot get over this concept art of young taigen. god.
just look at this angry bratty boy, too many feelings that he doesnt know what to do with! an abused 9 year old kid in poverty always playing with sticks in the dirt, obsessed with greatness and dreaming to escape his decrepit villageโand he does!
he does escape. he runs away. this angry little boy, all claws and teeth and biting words uttered with a lisp, going on the run into a world he's never seen before until he makes his way to kyoto. and knowing him he probably forced his way in to be accepted by the dojo, growling and kicking even as he's thrown out, back into the streets, too stubborn to take no for an answer and never knowing when to give up.
taigen calls mizu a dog, weak, an orphan, a scrawny street urchin. but i can't help but think that he feels so bold to use those words because he had them spat at him too.
because taigen had the idea of "this is how the world is" beat into him from birth. he learned quickly that if you couldn't beat the world you could join it. but that meant losing your way, your values, your principles. and isn't that what true honour is? not just titles and status and glory?
we don't get to see what taigen, as a child surrounded by peers encouraging and goading him on, would've actually done if that meteor hadn't fallen right in front of them at that very moment. would he have really tried to throw that stone on mizu, killing her? we don't know.
but we do see what taigen (his true self, with no one around) does, when presented with the same opportunity. when mizu passes out in front of him, unconscious and near death, vulnerable, the path to restoring his honour lays itself out for him on a silver platter. and he wants to take it, wants to kill mizu, to claim what is his and return to kyoto and get back everything he'd worked tooth and nail for. he feels like it's what he should do. but he doesn't.
and later, again he is presented with the chance to betray mizu, likely offered by heiji shindo to get his rank reinstated within the shindo dojo. and again, taigen doesn't take it. he refuses. "stupidly loyal," fowler calls him later. loyal, like a dog.
because now, pulled away from the sneering looks and jeering words of people around him, telling him that this is what the world is, taigen had met ringo and mizu, two outcasts who refuse to follow a predetermined path to greatness. and so inside something blooms in him. something like hope. a chance to live in a world that doesn't kick you down every chance it gets, to live in a world where genuine kindness and and love and friendship and even weakness is possible, allowed to simply exist without fear.
because he'd been running away from the very idea of it the whole time. when he ran from kohama, he never looked back, never wanted to remember what it was like to be a child, afraid and hungry and angry and hurting, without the words to make sense of it, desperately wishing for something. something more. he doesn't know what. but he hears stories of great swordsmen and decides, yes, this must be it. this is what i want: glory, greatness. the twisted seed gets planted and thrives in this barren land.
and when he returns to kohama with mizu and ringo, he at last is forced to stop running. he must face the child within him again, and he tells that child to put down the stones in his hand, tells him to stop barking at anything that moves or looks at him wrong.
the child drops the stone, and taigen buys dumplings instead, gives them to mizu. the child within him, wide-eyed at the prospect of friendship, moves him to pick up a hammer and toss it to mizu. he's smiling inside even as he does it; giggling like a kid hiding a silly prank. as soon as mizu drops the hammer after him, he leaps at her, tackling her to the ground and they wrestle and laugh unbridled like two children playing while the adults aren't around to barge in and yell at them.
and then his gaze catches on mizu's lips, he stares into mizu's eyes, a sparkling blue, inviting like the open sea in good weather.
it's a man's desire that takes hold then, the child in him sinking away again, and he curses himself for it, because it ruins the moment.
everything goes to shit from there, and then it's back to being a man, back to putting on his grown-up's armour to play hero.
it fails. the shogun dies. fowler's beatings reopen all the wounds left by heiji shindo's torture. "honour is meaningless," mizu tells him. "nothing comes from being a samurai but death."
the words follow him, and he follows the words.
as everything burns down, he runs, leaving the fire behind him, and sees akemi, as well as the verdure of spring behind her, calling him. he does not hesitate then to hold his hand out to her, inviting her to come with him. "i don't want to be great," he says. "i just want to be happy."
what is happiness to him? perhaps he doesn't know it yet, or perhaps he does. but really, i believe happiness is what the child in him always wanted but never received. happiness is a home.

I wouldn't really agree that boys are just arm candy in magical girl shows and only there to look cute. Yeah, sure the girls' friendships are the focus, but the boys are usually very much involved in the plot and most shows do explore their feelings about the odd things that happen due to magical shenanigans even if they aren't in the know (It's why ML baffles me even more with how they screwed up Adren's arc when he's the deuteragonist, when all these boys are supporting cast and get well rounded arcs)
I'm not much of a winx fan, but the specialists were very much not arm candy. Did the girls talk about them being cute? Yes, it's what teenage girls do. Did the narrative suggest they were good looking? Yes, but that's standard for most love interests in any genre. But we still got scenes with them talking amongst themselves about how they themselves feel and they got a fair share of badass fight scenes even if they wield no magic. A large amount of episodes actually included the boys and girls working as a team solving a mystery or fighting a villain. The girls might deal the finishing blow but the boys were still integral to the plot.
I hope this doesn't come across as hate, it definitely wasn't my intention. I'm just a bit too passionate about the magical girl genre.
I do think you have a good point with ML having a problem choosing a genre or blending two genres successfully.
For the CCS fans, I will add though that Cardcaptor Sakura had both Tomoyo and Syaoran serve as sources of motivation for Sakura. And both Sakura and Syaoran collecting cards even if Sakura is the only one who could seal them and yet never made you question whether Syaoran was even necessary for the job the way ml does with Chat.
I wasn't trying to say that boys have no part to play in magical girl team shows or that they're always treated as having no lives beyond the girls, that's why I mentioned that the Winx Club boys - aka, the Specialists - have their own (mostly off screen) lives and occasionally show up help the girls:
the boys are usually off doing their own thing and only occasionally show up for a date or to give the girls a ride on their cool bikes or magical spaceship
Even then, this is certainly a simplification of the roles that they play in the story, but I kind of had to simplify their roles down to their base components for the original post's discussion as I was talking in broad strokes of how these stories are written.
In terms of those broad strokes, the Specialists are absolutely only there for shipping fodder. That's why each one is assigned to a girl from the start and why their main role in the narrative is supporting their assigned love interest or causing relationship-based drama for their assigned love interest. If it weren't for shipping, then the Specialists would not exist.
While the Specialists do have fleshed out characters and may even effect the plot, the execution of those elements is designed around the girls. A really obvious example of this is the character Timmy, who has character development as the boy's tech guy. Why is he into technology? Because he's the designated love interest for the fairy of Technology and we have to show why they're a good match. Along similar lines, the boys don't really get plots that are removed from the girls because this is the girl's show. Every episode features one or more of the Winx, but the boys are optional and often don't appear.
This is because, narratively speaking, the boys are just love interests and that brings us back to Miraculous' big problem. You can't have a show where Adrien is written like a Specialist while also being part of the Winx Club and where Alya is written like she's part of the Winx Club while technically being more of a Specialist in terms of power set and actual narrative role.
I'm was thinking back to my memories of various Winx Club plots to find one that really highlighted what I mean here and I remembered that one of the big dramas in season one was the reveal that Bloom's love interest - Sky - was in an arranged marriage and had just never told her. As it turns out, that's a great example of what I'm talking about re Adrien!
Is that plot line technically based around Sky and letting his life effect the plot? Sure, but the fallout of that reveal revolves around Bloom, not Sky. The story doesn't really care how Sky's feeling as the conflict progresses. Instead, it focuses on how it affects Bloom and her friends because of course it does! She's the main character. It would be really weird if that plot suddenly focused on her side character love interest and his friends during one of her darkest hours/biggest moments.
Think of that and then consider how the ending of season five is written. Notice any similarities? Sure, this is Adrien's family drama, but because he's just a Specialist, the focus isn't on him. It's on Winx Club member Marinette and Adrien only shows up at the end for a kiss. That is the problem. That is what I'm talking about when I say that Miraculous will randomly write him as if we're watching a magical girl team show where Adrien is just the love interest.
In fact, let's really dig into this example because it's a good one.
You can have a look at the transcript for the finale episode of Miraculous season five here and see for yourself that Adrien doesn't even show up on screen until the final scenes when the big drama is over. The Winx Club wiki also has episode transcripts, so I took a look to see what happened in Winx land during the arranged marriage reveal plot (I love that this is a thing. It's so useful for fact checking myself!) This is the script for the episode after Bloom learns the truth. Sky does not appear even though his lies and family drama are the fuel for this episode's events, which are a major part of the season's arc. Note how perfectly that matches Adrien's writing?
Similarly, Sky's dialogue in the reveal episode is all about Bloom. He's worried about her learning the truth and thinking less of him. To match that, here's Adrien's only real dialogue in the penultimate episode of season five (full transcript):
Adrien:(Covers his ears.)ย I cannot transform...ย (Looks at his ring and tries taking it off.)
Plagg:ย What are you doing?!
Adrien:ย I'm not in my right mind. I'm too angry โ at myself for falling short of Marinette's love, at my father for sending me here in London, at this stupid app and these rings that use my image... it makes me sick! This nightmare is giving me the horrible feeling that, if I transform, I'll getย akumatizedย and destroy everything with myย Cataclysmย โ Marinette, Ladybug...ย (Takes off the ring and hands it to Plagg.)
Switching back to Winx. After Bloom learns the truth about Sky, bad things happen because she's depressed. This results in her and the Winx going off on a journey to learn the truth of who Bloom is. After the girls share this big plot moment and Bloom gets her mojo back, the boys show up to be their ride home and to give Bloom her romance moment where Sky wins her back by declaring that he broke off the arranged married because he loves her.
Sky notably doesn't get an arc about choosing between his arranged marriage and his true love. We don't even know that the marriage is broken off until he tells Bloom because that was never really a conflict as far as the narrative was concerned. Of course he's going to pick Bloom! He's her designated side character love interest! He only exists to be with her. We don't need to treat this as a serious thing for him. The arranged marriage plot was never about him anyway. It was about giving Bloom a reason to have a darkest hour moment that moves the plot forward. Similarly, Sky calling off the marriage is nowhere near as important as him telling Bloom that he's called off the marriage to be with her in a grand romantic gesture.
This perfectly mirrors Miraculous' season five ending where Adrien doesn't appear until after Marinette is done fighting her big girl power fight against his father. As far as the writing is concerned, that fight isn't about him. His connection to the villain only really matters in terms of how it affects Marinette's actions during the final battle. Then, when the battle is over, Adrien shows up to give Marinette her big romance moment because, while the plot may be driven by Adrien's family, he is not a Winx club member. He's just a Specialist. Or, in the words of the head writer:
[image text: She's Barbie, he's Ken. You don't like it. I get it. It won't change. Anything else?] (The full, even more damning context of this tweet can be found here.)
What else can I say other than, "I rest my case."
Oh, and also that I didn't take this as an attack. I just thought it was a good opportunity to really dig into the nuances of this and what I was talking about in that original post as I never know how obvious this stuff is if you don't closely study story telling. As this case study hopefully shows, if a show is about a group of girl friends using the power of friendship, then their love interests may have important roles, but the boys are never going to be more important than the girls and most of the boy's screen time will be focused on romance and how their existence effects the girls because it's ultimately the girls' world. Without them, the show wouldn't exist. Without the boys? Well, then we just wouldn't have a romance plot.
