Fun Question:

Anything your TMNT au characters do to wind down/relax?

I've drawn it a few times but Leo and Raph make things for their family. Leo does needlework like embroidery and sewing while Raph knits and crochets.

I've only drawn it once so far but Mikey likes to cook. He learned it from Splinter because he notoriously refused to nap and it gave them something to do as just the two of them.

I haven't drawn Donnie relaxing in his downtime outside of being passed out because baby boy needs to pay back his sleep debts. But his downtime is learning, he has a thirst for knowledge so he's always taking something apart to put back together or reading about how to because it's something he can replicate and interact with. But it doesn't stop with tech and science he 100% would get caught up in rabbit holes of deep research on random topics.

[meggahamicide]

Okay, i've decided that i'm just gonna drop/dump some lore on Vermin, so if you're interested, read below! It's really long!

...o.0.O.0.o...

Personality:

Like canon-Leo's head-cannons, Vermin hides his true emotions behind a smile, but their differences are in the execution. Vermin's smiles are more wicked, more cruel, and he find amusement in making people fear him, having experience in getting people to listen to him by intimidating them.

He pretends to be indifferent to how the brothers act around him, but always keeps an eye out for any signs that they aren't as they say they are. Donnie specifically.

Big emotions are a no-no, so he hides them behind a passive face, empty of anything he's feeling so he can convince those he's talking with that he feels nothing, that he is unaffected by any stressors and anxiety. If anything get's too overwhelming, he retreats to a hidden corner to wait it out and tries not to remember how Draxum treated him when he let his emotions get the better of him.

Because he was raise without certain privileges, he gets extremely giddy around new experiences, such as sampling new foods and trying out video games and skateboarding. It's probably the only time he lets his guard down because he's so entranced by whatever is happening he forgets that he's not supposed to be showing emotion.

...o.0.O.0.o...

Relationships:

Raphael:

With Raph, Vermin just doesn't know how to deal with him. An injury brings Vermin to the lair and Raph is the one who heals him, but Vermin in uncertain whether or not he can trust someone with such obvious strength he can easily use to harm Vermin. He doesn't understand why Raph is so kind nervous when he could dominate his enemies.

Michelangelo:

Mikey is the one Vermin accepts the easiest other than April. Mikey has a way to handle Vermin without being too invasive and without threatening the slider in any way shape or form and eventually shows Vermin that there is kindness that is not expected to be repaid. He also helps Vermin lean into his chaotic mindset without it becoming harmful to others, like teaching him how to prank the other brothers.

And of course, Vermin loves trying his food, so Mikey basically tempts the slider like he might a feral cat.

Donatello:

Donnie is the one Vermin has the hardest time accepting. He's convinced he can easily beat the soft-shell in a fight, but once he discovers that Donnie is a scientist, he becomes wary of him, skittish and uncomfortable whenever he's around. He knows that there are other ways to get someone to obey than simply fighting.

It takes Donnie being patient and showing him that he means no harm over time that earns his trust. The softshell just has to break through the notion that all scientist are evil and only seek to destroy that which is closest to them. Donnie even goes as far as to promise to never let anything happen to Vermin ever again.

April O'Neil:

The first one to show kindness when Vermin leaves Draxum's lab. She shows the slider a side of society that he was being deprived of when he was with Draxum, helping him see that there is a place for everyone, that things don't need to hurt to be beneficial. She pretty much forcefully adopts him as her little brother and is even protective of him when he interacts with her other brothers.

Baron Draxum:

Was raised by Draxum. More info in the timeline.

...o.0.O.0.o...

Timeline:

Content Warnings: blood and injury, references to child abuse, loss of limb, needles, non-consensual drug use (kind of), non-consensual experimentation and surgery.

It gets dark, so be cautious of the warnings!

Age 0-4:

In the beginning, Lou Jitsu, later known as Splinter, only rescues three of the turtles, who eventually go by the name Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. The remaining turtle, identified by his red markings, is picked up by Baron Draxum before the lab explodes, destroying his life work. The only remaining bit of his research is the tiny creature small enough in the palm of his hand.

Quick to find a place to stay and recover, the Baron begins working to piece together his research using his subject. He starts a book, scribbling down anything worth noting and refraining from any larger tests besides bloodwork and skin-scraping until the subject is larger, better able to withstand any more intrusive tests.

He begins raising the creature, claiming it as his own.

Age 5-8:

Called by the title Red, the slider reaches acceptable cognizance to begin training by the age of five. He is small, just below the Baron's knee, but he is intelligent enough to understand complex problem solving and language. Weapons training is less successful than desired, but that could be related to the subject's weaker limbs and child-like nature.

Baron Draxum is relentless in his education, always prepared to deliver swift punishment should Red be unable to comply with his desires. Red hates the punishment, often times covered in bruises from the extra training or with a headache from spending his nights in 'The Room,' but he is just as stubborn as his guardian, if not more so. He always seeks to make his boss proud, ignoring the voice that always tells him he's not strong enough, not good enough. Baron Draxum always has a reason for saying things like that, so Red knows he just has to try harder.

He's not exactly sure what a human is, but the Baron is convinced that he needs to kill them all.

Every other week, the Baron brings Red to another room where he 'collects samples.' Red doesn't know what they're for, but he's seen the elder gather some of his freshly peeled chutes and teeth when they fall off, always writing in that journal with a little turtle drawn on the front.

One night, when he's just turned eight, Baron Draxum leaves in a hurry. He's gone for hours, leaving Red to his own devices and wondering if maybe the yokai had finally got bored of him, wondering if he just left him behind because he couldn't satisfy him. Red tries not to listen to the little voice in his head that says maybe that's a good thing, maybe it's better if he stays gone.

Red doesn't see him until the next day, well into the night, and suddenly, he regrets ever thinking those nasty things of his guardian. The yokai is hunched by the door, missing an arm and looking very tired. Red runs to him, but the Baron doesn't even acknowledge him, holding a towel to his stump.

Red is crying. He knows he shouldn't, knows that tears mean weakness, but he's afraid for his boss, afraid of what is happening, because that's a lot of blood. He feels something well up in his chest as he sits next to his guardian, the feeling swelling into his lungs and arms, weaving through his bones and into his fingers, bright, blue light zapping over his fingers. Something guides his hand, pressing them against the yokai's injury and forcing the light into him.

He heals Baron Draxum.

Baron Draxum looks at him like he's solved the world's problems.

Age 9-10:

Test after test after test. Red is sure he's never been through so many tests, but he finally sees the Baron's pride and he wants to impress him, so he doesn't complain when the needle digs too far, or when the scalpel scrapes a little to much skin. This new power is good, that's all he knows. Baron Draxum calls it mystic energy, says that it was a power he was seeking all along, so Red doesn't complain when all of the test make him tired enough to pass out, or make him cry himself to sleep because his chest aches from how long he had to work. Baron Draxum is proud, proud enough to give him a portal sword and teach him how to use it, proud enough to hand him a pair of tonfa and guide him through the motions of building a shield, proud enough to smile when Red uses the kusari-fundo for the first time.

Red trains his new skill until he's sick, until he can't stand, until he can't feel the first time Baron Draxum uses that strange, green liquid on him.

Baron Draxum was proud.

Age 11-13:

Red is pretty sure his name isn't Red any more. It's Vermin. At least, that's what the Baron has started to call him.

Ever since he stopped being able to use mystic energy without fainting, Baron Draxum has stopped using that old name. Now he was a pest, a creature incapable of healing, or portaling, or simply making things float. He is weak.

Baron did something while he was sedated; took apart his plastron and looked around inside. Vermin thinks he was looking for what was so wrong with him, why everything the slider does ends up in failure. He now has a shiny new plate of metal on his chest and a paranoia of falling asleep.

He lost count the amount of times he was put to sleep, but every time he woke to something different, and injection of mutagen transforming his body while he was so out of it he couldn't even open his eyes. His toes and fingers become more flexible, grow sharp talons attributed to some sort of owl. His tongue becomes forked, able to scent things by merely breathing. His hearing and eyesight become sharper, a fox's DNA granting him night vision. He becomes stronger, faster, more agile, but it's never enough.

Vermin's starting to think that it never was going to be enough.

Vermin is awake when Baran Draxum puts in the ports, ignoring how painful it is and preferring to strap Vermin to a table while he digs into the slider's neck and arms, leaving six, shiny new devices embedded in his skin. The Baron has Vermin carry around a canister of green liquid on his back, a 'empyrean variant' he said, and with a click of a button, the canister sprouts tubes that dig into his ports, releasing the substance into his bloodstream. It hurts, floods his system with fire, but Vermin was used to pain. Now he just has a few more scars to show for it.

The substance grants him more power, more strength, more speed. His senses, already sharp, become that much more, overwhelming his sensory intake, but he learns how to fight past the side-effects. Missions outside of the lab become easier, training obstacles the Baron create become simple to dispatch, he always hurts but there is no other option.

It's always been the Baron and him, but maybe... maybe it doesn't have to be.

He's tired of hurting, tired to running himself to the ground, tired of covert missions that paint Baron Draxum as the ultimate threat when he's doing all the work, tired to sneaking around New York City in a futile attempt of gathering information that will likely never be useful. He tired of being compared to the experiments that didn't live through the first test, he tired of living up to a trio of dead beings that weren't even strong enough to compete with him. He tired to the punishments, of the bruises, of the empty room, of the nightmares, of the expectations.

He's just tired.

On the morning of his fourteenth year, Vermin comes to the conclusion that Baron Draxum isn't the be-all-end-all, that his ideals do not have to be his own. It fills him with a giddiness that leaves him trembling, his heart pounding.

In the middle of his fourteenth year, Vermin leaves.

Age 14:

The first person Vermin officially meets a human named April O'Neil.

Age 16:

...Vermin is starting to think his name was meant to be Leonardo all along.

[theyhavetakenovermylife]

Hello I wanted to request a Tmnt oneshot

Soooo if it is okay I would like well 2012 Tmnt all having a crush on the reader and they kinda have brotherly fights over her

Four Brothers and One Crush (Fluff/Crack)

2012!Turtles x reader

A/N: I love this idea! Sorry it took so long, but it’s finally here💚🐢

---------

All four of the Hamato brothers have developed a crush on you, but none of them can agree on which one of them you have a crush on💙❤️��🧡

Warning: Spelling, siblings fighting, a few strange insults, the reader is not so oblivious.

---------

It started the day they met you, as cliche as it sounds, but it was true. From the moment the four Hamato brothers laid their eyes upon you, tension started rising. At first it wasn’t so bad. None of them seemed to notice their brothers developing a crush on you, only keeping their eyes on you and being totally blind to what was happening around them. But even though none of them seem to notice, you most certainly did.

Leonardo was constantly checking up on you, texting and calling, asking if you got home safe, or if you had heard about that horrible natural disaster in that one country, and if you were okay. The few times you had told him to relax a bit, he started offering to train you, citing that it would calm him down, knowing you would be able to defend yourself.

Raphael always hung around you, training and acting as if he didn’t see you there, showing off his muscles in the most unnatural way, yet acting as if it was. And he poked. He could never walk past you without poking you in the side, or having to say something mean. Yes, it had caused fights between the two of you, often with Raph refusing to say sorry to you, saying that you took it too seriously.

Donatello rambled a lot when you were around, either about something that he was working on, or something he had spent some time researching, often about things you knew absolutely nothing about. Often he had a tendency to talk himself into a corner, almost admitting his crush on you several times, only to bite himself in the tongue mid sentence and run for the hills, leaving you back in confusion.

And then there was Michelangelo, who had flat out admitted his crush on you, several times to your face. Yet for some reason, you did not believe him. There was no way that was true. If it was true, he would not be so calm while telling you so. No, he would be as nervous and subtle as his brothers, feeling as if he had something to lose.

But you could not deny it. One of the four turtles had managed to catch your heart, making your cheeks burn with his funny ways of showing he cared for you. You had to admit it to yourself. You had developed a crush on the terrapin, and now, you were just looking for the best time to tell him.

—

It was like any other day in the lair. Leo was glued to the TV screen, watching an episode of Space Heroes, Raph was punching his punching bag, so hard it was almost flying off the hinges, while Donnie tinkered away with whatever project he had going on in the corner. All of them caught up in their own things, as Mikey wandered into the room, a happy skip in his walk, humming as he went, causing all of his brothers to look at him strangely. It wasn’t uncommon for Mikey to act like this, but there was something different about it today. It was as if he wanted his brothers to look, so he could tell them what had gotten him into such a good mood. But they did not have to ask. One questionable look, and he happily told them.

“Today’s the day, boys”, Mikey said, almost sliding across the floor with a smug smile on his face, daring them to ask further. “It’s finally happening”.

Donnie was the one to take the bait, mainly hoping to get some peace from his little brother. “What is happening?”, he asked.

“I’m getting a girlfriend today”, the young turtle said, turning as he basked in the imaginary sunlight

“A girlfriend?”, Raph asked, giving the punching bag one last hard punch, before fully turning his attention towards the youngest turtle. “How the hell do you expect to be getting a girlfriend today? I mean, look at you”.

“Hey! That was not nice”, Mikey grumbled. “Leo, tell Raph to be so mean to me”.

“Just answer the question, Mikey”, the oldest turtle sighed, pausing Captain Ryan, before he could get to his speech of the episode. He did not want to miss it, just because of Mikey’s strange ideas.

“Fine”, Mikey said, a pleased smile presenting itself on his face once again. “I’ve just invited (Y/N) to come down and watch a movie, and tonight I’ll finally ask her to be my girlfriend”.

Raph, who had started punching his punching bag once more, almost fell over by the sheer force of his swing. Leo almost dropped the television remote, and Donnie yelped as he accidentally shocked himself with the wiring of whatever he was making.

“Wow”, Mikey mumbled at their shocked reactions. “Is it really so hard to believe I have a crush on her?”, he asked, scratching his head, thinking back to all the times you had seemed to not believe his admissions to you.

“No, it’s not that”, Leo said, walking to his brother to put a hand on his shoulder. Oh, how was he going to tell him this? “It’s just because you can’t do that, Mikey”.

“And why not?”, the orange clad turtle asked, raising an eyebrow.

Leo sighed, fearing what reaction he would awaken within the young terrapin. “Well, you see… she isn’t interested in you that way. She had feelings for someone else”.

“Leo’s right”, Raph butted in. “It has nothing to do with you, little brother, but we’ve known for some time she has had some pretty strong feelings for me”.

“Wow, no”, Leo said, crossing his arms. “You were definitely not the one I was talking about”.

“Yeah, Raph!”, Donnie exclaimed, joining the argument. “Leo was obviously talking about me!”

“What? No! I was talking about me!”, Leo said, growing slightly frustrated.

“Really? You?”, Raph asked, cocking his brow. “She has eyes, Leo. She obviously likes the best looking one”.

“Yeah! Me!”, Mikey yelled, throwing his hands in the air.

“Mikey, have you been playing with chemicals in my lab again, or are you really being serious?”, Donnie asked, hands on his hip.

“Oh, you think you’re the better looking one here?”, Leo asked.

“Doesn’t matter if I’m the better looking one - even though I am - but what matters is that (Y/N) has a crush on me”, the purple clad turtle said.

“Just because a few girls on the internet say they like a tooth gap, it doesn’t mean that any of them would find you attractive”, Raph said, his frustration growing with each passing second.

“Says the guy with a cracked plastron and a battered ego”, retorted Donnie. And that was when all hell broke loose. Raph, who now saw fire before his eyes, jumped on Donnie. Leo and Mikey tried to pull the fighting brothers apart, but it didn’t take long before they two were sucked into the fight, screaming and yelling over which one of them you had a crush on. But with their focus being on their fight, none of them noticing you in the entrance, with a stack of pizza boxes, slowly fishing out a piece to eat while watching the unfolding chaos in front of you, wondering how long it would take for them to notice. But none of them seemed to do, being so caught up in their need to be right. It wasn’t until Raph was about to bite down on Donnie’s ankle, that you decided to speak up.

“You’re right”, you chuckled, taking a bite of your pizza as you watched the four brothers turned stunned towards you, frozen in their actions, their eyes wide and their jaws hanging loose. “I have a crush on one of you”.

“Who?!”, they asked in a yell, almost jumping at your feet.

“Well, one of you guessed it”, you smirked, finding the whole scene of the four squirmin mutant turtles amusing. Was it wrong? Probably, but you could not help yourself. Having four guys fight over was the dream of many girls, so why should you not let yourself enjoy it for just a moment?

“Who guessed it?! Who guessed it?!”, Mikey yelled with an exacerbated gasp, his brothers looking at you in anticipation, hoping for their name to spill from your lips.

You shrugged, fighting a smirk. Damn you were mean, but you could not help yourself. It was actually quite fun. “That’s for you guys to figure out”, you said, taking another bite of your pizza slice, before walking past them, making your way to the television, leaving the turtles staring after you. “Now, where’s the move? I was promised a movie tonight!”

[datesinredink]

could you possibly write headcanons you have of how the rise yanderes would like psychologically manipulate/punish their darling? i’m all for physical violence but what do they do to mess their darling up in the head?

ty very much for reading this if you do :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH RAGHHHHHH!!!!! Since this is such a fun question to answer im gonna order these from most to least awful. The ranking is just my opinion and i would LOVE to see what other people think jhwhnwiurfj i decided to chug a soda to write this and i think that was a great decision because i immediately came up with smth for donnie because of it.

I decided to search up some ACTUAL psychological torture methods that have been/are used in real life and let normal manipulation take more of a backseat so that this didn’t end up too repetitive- honestly would recommend researching it, it’s a fun topic.

Trigger warnings: Very unfun use of technology in your arm, Drugging, More drugging, Even more drugging, Withholding of food/water (+ a more mild example of doing so but it still happens), Mild descriptions of gore, Mentions of blood, general yandere stuff like kidnapping, and likely others- please ask me to tag anything else triggering, because unfortunately I am not perfect.

1- Donnie.

This might be surprising to some of you. Yes, Leo is the manipulator- he’s the face man, the people guy, but I think that in terms of sheer awfulness- Donnie is going to win here simply because of the potential with his tech.

He’s a genius with access to mystic powers who has incredible skill with both designing and creating various machines and gadgets. I think that he’d be very creative, just considering how much he thought to fit into just his bō staff.

My first thought was that he could come up with a small device (which might be able to double as a tracker) to embed under your skin that could move around. It would skitter up and down your arm like a beetle (likely your dominant arm, just to be worse) and be a nice cherry on top of anything else he could come up with.

To pair with that, he could force some type of hallucinogenic drug down your throat- after some googling, LSD would be a likely candidate. While apparently it usually only causes “pseudo-hallucinations” (where you know that they aren’t real, whereas true hallucinations would be where you think they are), true hallucinations can happen, and the pseudo-hallucinations combined with the environment alone would be enough to cause a panic attack. Not even to mention the kind of drugs that the mystic city might have. (edit: i just found out about datura??? GODDAMN THAT’S A STRONG DRUG.)

Also, I think that Donnie would actually take decent care of you prior to any sort of escape attempt or broken rule. He’d hate for you to waste away in a dark room for the rest of your now shared life, so he would take you outside to some private space for a set amount of time everyday while you’re chained to him and probably gagged so you don’t call for help- you need time in the sun and exercise, after all. That’s why I think he’d also stop doing that if you broke a rule. You don’t want to be anywhere near him, and he supposes that he’s fine with that- but if you really don’t want anything to do with Donnie anymore, then you’ll just have to deal with losing all the luxuries that came with him being so caring.

He’ll lower the temperature in your room and take the hoodie that he so graciously gave you and waltz on out. He still brings you food and water, but now it’s less frequent and more random since now he’s prioritizing his brilliant inventions. Sorry dear, but weren’t you the one who begged him to leave you alone? Now he is. What’s the problem?

2- Leo.

Even if you haven’t done anything wrong (yet), being kept in his room would probably be a nightmare. I feel in my adhd soul that he would NOT be good at keeping it clean. It’d be living in a constant mess, and as someone who has lived in a perpetually messy house, it will definitely take a toll on your mental health. Not to mention the additional noise from whatever he and his brothers are doing. You wouldn’t be allowed outside of it either, not for a while at least, so you’d never know what day or time it is.

Other than the already constant sensory of his room, I think that Leo would mainly use threats- of which he goes through with. Not against you, though, but against your family, (what’s left of) your friends, and any other loved ones you might have. He’ll drag their unconscious body into whatever room he’s keeping you in, and wait with you for them to wake up.

While you two are waiting, he’ll lay out everything he’s planning to do to them in awful detail- and lucky you, he even left out some things as a nice surprise!

You’ll be tied to a chair and forced to watch as their guts fall to the ground from the clean slice in their now empty abdomen while Leo picks up and talks about their functions one by one. You silently wish that you never told him that you admired his skills as the team medic.

When he’s finally done rambling about the various viscera laying on the cold floor, he’ll force you to help him clean up- “so that Raph doesn’t get mad about the mess”, as he says. He’ll hold you in his arms when the two of you are done, whispering in your ear about how sorry he is that he had to do that, but you really did force his hand, and you know that, right? If only you had listened…

When the list of people you can bring yourself to care about finally has 0 names, Leo starts to instead take things away from you. He starts small, gradually taking and taking like the parasite you’ve learned he is until all you have left are the clothes you wear and him. He’ll even deprive you of food and water for periods of time, and you can no longer tell if you wish he would shut up for once or if you’re grateful for at least anything to distract you from the constant pain in your empty stomach.

Mikey and Raph landed themselves towards the bottom because I think that they’re both more lenient with punishments (Raph would be afraid of hurting you beyond repair physically OR mentally and Mikey has generally been shown to be very patient and forgiving with people he cares about), but I also think that they might be more exhausting to be stuck with GENERALLY, wearing you down slowly in day-to-day life rather than harsh punishments for breaking whatever rules might be in place for you.

3- Raph.

Raph would try to instill learned helplessness into his darling, to make them understand why he always has to be so careful!

It’ll happen the next morning after a particularly bad argument between you two, and when he’s suddenly letting you handle sharp objects again- but oh no! For some reason you feel so sluggish and dizzy today that you messed up and sliced open your arm. It’s ok- Raph’s here for you! He’ll either patch up your arm himself or take you to Leo, and after it’s taken care of he’ll scold you and say that it’s fine, maybe he’ll give you another chance next week. And he keeps his word- once again, you’re allowed to try your hand at chopping some veggies with him or Mikey- and again, you feel dizzy and accidentally cut yourself.

This will happen many more times- or not, if you give in easily enough- at least until Raph finally decides that he just can’t keep doing this. He brought you to the lair to keep you away from harm, and despite it being to teach you a lesson, he just can’t bear to watch blood drip down your pretty skin.

So instead, he further seals you away- locking you in his room and wrapping one of his hoodies around your head. He’ll keep you like this until you finally learn.

He won’t starve you, at least. He’d hate to watch you waste away after everything, so you’ll be fine physically, but it’ll be hell to not be able to see or properly hear anything. It’ll also be more difficult to breathe properly through the fabric, so I wish you luck with that.

He’s infuriatingly nice throughout the whole thing. Of course he’s angry when you argue with him- when you hurl insults and and completely unfounded whining (yeah right) at him. Sometimes he hurriedly leaves the room so he doesn’t do anything he regrets- but when he comes back- despite your wishes that he wouldn’t- he just wraps that damned hoodie around your skull and chides you for your hostility, leaving you to wonder if this could really be better than death.

You feel insane rambling to his plushies, of which you now know the individual names of, but it’s an admittedly nice bit of company to have when your only other option is Raph. Honestly, you’d rather deal with Ms Cuddles by this point, and she even managed to wring a scream out of Donnie.

At least it’s something you can actually have even an ounce of fun doing that he won’t take away for being “too dangerous”. As long as you can tolerate his absolutely smitten behavior when he finds you talking to them.

Be careful about how loudly you complain, though- it might just land you being completely swaddled in blankets and left to go insane on his bed.

4-  Mikey.

I think that if you were to try and escape from Mikey, he’d conclude that his love simply needs to spend more time with him! Maybe if he shows them how wonderful life is with him, they’ll stop trying to run away!

Unfortunately, I doubt his sleep schedule is very consistent. He keeps you up late at night to try out new spraypaints, recipes, games, anything he can find to do with you will be done. You hardly get the chance to sleep well, and the peace you get in dreams is frequently interrupted.

When he does take a break, he insists on sleeping in the same bed, and it’s much harder to fall asleep with him staring holes into you, as though he were trying to memorize every single detail.

It takes a damn long time to get Mikey to knock it off, too. You have to guess that stubbornness runs in the family, if his brothers are anything to go by. Unfortunately, said brothers’ coddling of their youngest has resulted in quite the persistent guy, and you’re quickly losing the energy to refute him. You wonder how long you’ll need to sleep for the giant spider in the corner of your vision to go away.

When the box turtle finally does realize how much of a toll his shenanigans have taken on poor you, he decides that as the person responsible for you, it’s his job to make sure that you get plenty of rest- and if you refuse, Dr Delicate Touch and Dr Feelings are always here to make sure you’re convinced!

He does a sort of 180- where he once forced you to do everything, he now forces you to do nothing at all, even when your mind screams at you to get up and move. He’ll slip something he stole from the pharmacy into your food and carry your sleeping figure back to his room for your seemingly infinite nap.

In between consciousness, you’ve learned to just stay in bed, maybe draw or write something related to all the adventures you go on in dreamworld.

Fun fact, over sleeping has a couple negative side effects- it increases the risk of diabetes, obesity, headaches, back pain, depression (like you don’t have that already, being kidnapped and all), and heart disease! I wish you the best of luck.

When he finally believes your rest to be sufficient, everything will go back to normal. Except, of course, the lingering paranoia of when it’ll happen all over again will continue to haunt you.

Who knows, maybe he’ll continue drugging you just to keep you a little more complacent. Can’t have you running away all the time, right?

Yandere Donnie Darko Hcs

A/n: I finally came around to watching Donnie Darko while I was styling my hair this morning. It was so good and omgg HIS CHARACTER!!! Love it 💜 What he voices in where he rebels against authority resonates with me in the most honest and straight up sense, it's crazy.

CW: Characterizing of psychosis without research (I am in no way claiming this is how individuals who suffer some psychosis or with schizophrenic symptoms act or feel like. This is simply a work of fiction and how I see Donnie's mental state affect the scenario), Donnie is actually very tame here except for his obvious criminal record and acts of violence, and YALL HES A MENTALLY ILL TEENAGE BOY so he's a lowkey soft okay. Y'all see him with Gretchen? So caring and passionate ugh, love him sm. <33 I try to write as close to canon as possible, but sometimes that leads to really soft yans and I kind of doubt my writing. Despite that. I like to think that not all yanderes need to be possessive killing machines in order to fit into the troupe. Everyone's got their own way of dealing with obsession, and so I think I did decently with this one lol.

Proof read a few times, so sorry for wordy/run on sentences and possible wonky grammar.

I feel like Donnie is very observant and patient with his darling. He's quite analytical for a teenage boy which leads him to take time to consider the variables that weigh within your possible relationship.

Donnie is still an awkward kid, so dont be surprised when you accidentally find him staring at you for a considerable period of time in class. In school, he doesn't approach you, seeing as the setting is already suffocating enough. He'd try to catch you after school or when you two have a little bit of privacy.

He's kinda shy and clumsy at first glance--- too talkative in his speech and self-aware of his minor fuck ups. Over time, he'll be more open to what he wants with you. Donnie might not really understand how to handle love and all of its complexities, but hell try really hard to make it work.

Yeah, y'all saw how fast he dived in for that kiss in the film?... Embarrassing, but it's true that he's quite excited to show his affection for you. He'll be "so chill with it," and he is to an extent--- not too clingy at all--- but when he's around he gives you guard dog privileges. Stays at your side and defends you from any brain rotting comments made from the guys around the neighborhood. Donnie isn't much of a fighter, but he's damn well capable of planning and executing a crime if it calls for it. One count of arson, another unaccounted for, severe property damage, and murder? Don't doubt it for one second that he won't consider further acts in the future to come.

His psychosis affects him directly when it comes to you--- as it also does with most things. He already feels so shitty with how things are going in his life, Frank voicing the many thoughts he has about you day to day stresses him further. Sometimes Donnie is scared Frank will convince him to hurt you as the countdown progresses. Despite that fear, he can't keep away from you.

This distress causes Donnie to rebel more often. As he spirals down the rabbit hole Frank keeps digging for him, the anxiety that follows with what will happen to you once the world ends lingers late at night in his bed.

Donnie's main love language is quality time. He walks with you from school and chills with you pretty much wherever. He's pretty book-smart, so he'll pitch in with your projects and homework assignments. His parents don't really seem like they care what he does most of the time, so if he's given the chance, he'll crash at your place for a few before they think he's off sleepwalking or some shit.

Donnie already knows he's slipping off the rails, placebo medication or not, Frank stays to stir the pot. He's almost scared, scared to death that you'll think he's an insane lunatic and he'll scare you off. But at the same time, why be scared if it's the truth? He has evidence, the book, and his own visions. That anxiety doesn't go away when he rambles on about the six-foot-tall bunny rabbit and how that thing has led him to the method of time travel.

You're just left there dumb founded as he stares on at you with that deadpanned look. Too late to back out now. World's ending and you don't got a boyfriend. Well, you got Donnie... and Frank's there too sometimes, but either way, you're all each other's got. You don't want to be alone do you? Donnie knows he doesn't.

He trusts you more than anyone else. Yeah he's on meds, and sure he's loony, but everyone knows that already; not that they seemed to care too much anyway. He feels like he can just exist with you around. All that pent up frustration with the looming guilt of his actions festering inside can be washed out like waves on a cold shore. Of course, it's not a cure-all, but it's damn nice compared to the bone headed friends he got and the tense dinner table back at home.

He has scratch paper in his drawers that are just filled with messy sketches of you. Not sure if he'd be the type to use sketchbooks, but he is pretty organized in his own room. Donnie just finds you so easy and beautiful to draw. Art block has nothing on this boy. He hates it when his sisters barge into his room and see any unfinished piece of you lying around. They tease him so bad about it, he wishes they'd just leave him alone.

"Ooo, is this the girl you're always wasting your time with?"

"No, gimme it. It's none of your business, and get out of my room."

"Geez, fine. Not like that's the freakiest thing you got in here anyway."

Donnie wouldn't be the extreme stalking type, but if he caught a glance of you, he wouldn't be able to look away. He'd also take into account what your daily patterns are as well as your likes and dislikes. He notices your little habits like if you constantly apply too much pressure to your mechanical pencil, making your lead break. He's always have had a passive opinion on the school uniform, but you made it look good, great even. Donnie likes it even more seeing you in street wear. He takes note on your style and even thinks of taking some inspiration from it to feel closer to you.

He's sensitive in places a teenager would be in most. He's irritable and closed off much of the time, even to you if it gets bad enough. Of course, it's not your fault usually. It only makes sense to be defensive in the case of anything he may perceive as a threat, even if that means any possibility of you breaking his heart.

Donnie may be a bit shy in his advances, but what he isn't is hesitant. He's quite bold in his thoughts and feelings. While he is afraid of your judgement in particular, he doesn't mind doing many things in front of you. Your collar is crooked, so let him just fix it up real quick. Talk about something that's got him thinking? He's letting his thoughts pour out like it's happy hour. He sees no issue in doing what he wants to, so if you're feeling unsure or nervous about something, he'll be the one to do it for you. Not many questions asked unless it's got his serious attention.

Kisses are passionate and deep. (Tbh when I first watched the movie I was like, "DAMN dont eat her face- shit.") I dont know if Donnie has had previous experience or not, but he's definitely got the enthusiasm. He tries to match your rhythm if you seem to have trouble following. Not too much tongue, but best believe he's devouring your lips like it's the last 6 hours in the universe. His hands are roaming around your body, feeling the dips and curves so cautiously because Jesus, you're just rocking his fucking world. If you tell him to slow down, he will. Donnie never wants to force you to do anything you wouldn't want to.

Words of affirmation aren't really a thing for him. If he says something to you, it was probably on his mind anyway. If you say "I love you" to him, he'd be almost stunned but wouldn't have a problem reciprocating that energy. He just felt like that connection between you two was already clear enough. No need to say it so directly. Although, it's nice. He really loves and cares for you. Would take a bullet for you--- cross his heart till he dies, all that sappy shit.

If you reject him, let's just say Frank and Donnie will be speaking more often. It pushes him off the edge. Frank isn't in Donnie's head just to do evil shit, but it's not like his presence doesn't perpetuate Donnie's behavior further. He wouldn't go on a killing spree or anything excessively violent like that. He'd be hyper-focused on the time travel aspect of his situation and become more forceful in his methods. He'd demand answers to make sense of all of it. To cope with the fact you didn't want him like how he needed you. Why didn't you like him enough? What didn't he do? Actually, what did he do? His mind feels like its on the brink of breaking as he tries to rationalize all the negativity in his life. He's already done too much, his world feels like it's collapsing in on itself before the actual day could even come. You were a majority of that world, and now it's just broken.

Donnie is so distraught and confused about his adolescent experiences, he almost doesn't know what to do. The only thing to do from then on is to focus on the countdown. Time travel, and how to fix it all. Otherwise, not only would he be left alone, but you would be too. Donnie wouldn't want that for you, not ever. Even with all the pain and frustration stowed away inside his still beating heart, he would never wish to hurt you; one of the only people on Earth who didn't suck so much as everyone else did.

I’ve learned something from multiple blogs:

If people push a certain idea far enough, it may become true

Like how I noticed people saying Donnie/two would definitely be into plants

Now we finally gotten the affirmation that, that in fact is true

Idk if it’s just a coincidence or if ideas or thoughts came from us

Either I would like to say:

(For fluff)

One managed to convince draxum to make a greenhouse for two, like just a tiny one, or somewhere to put his plants idk he’d be one of those green thumbs that if you give them a dying plant it would be THRIVING next month

Somnia: Lol, uh I think we just liked that Donnie is into plants and applied it to Two. Two probably has a little space to grow some plants in his lab. I think Mikey would make a little personalized pot for Two that he can use in his little garden 💞

Teaa: Yeah! I think gardening is something Two could potentially do with Draxum, although I'm not sure when they would have the time to do that. At the very least growing plants lets Two feel like he's close to his dad. It's something they could (potentially) bond over and that's a comfort for him.

Two is very into plants, yes.

HE ALSO LOVES INSECTS !!

I keep forgetting because I've gotten so used to associating him with plants (I even forget that rip) but I remember early on we decided Two has a special fascination for bugs and insects that he got after working with plants for so long. That is something that isn't tied to Draxum so it's a really important interest to him. It's one of the very few things he has/does just for himself. I keep forgetting about it but I will try to make more content about it in the future.

He studies them and takes care of them. He fixes them up when he can and if he cannot then he'll study their anatomy. He does a lot of research into all kinds of insects and bugs.

very rough sketch I didn't feel like cleaning up

It's apparently another hot day in the studio, because the inflatable pool has made another appearance as the center focus with Donnie lounging in it this time. His model is visibly in a purple Hawaiian style shirt, purple sunglasses and his mask. He has a floating tray with a glass of some colorful juice, a pitcher of the same drink, and an assortment of snacks.

"So due to the AC deciding to die, Genius Built has put everyone into a work from home/work at your own comfort, state until the AC can be fixed or Replaced. Thus I have been working from the studio. Though some of my co-workers want to visit for some reason, not that I will invite them anytime soon." They pause to take a drink, "No matter how they keep trying to bribe me. No matter how tempting." A barely heard mutter of 'he says with much falsehood' came right after.

An animation of cartoon turtle Donnie swimming goes across the screen with:

[Thank You SneakySoftshell for the $10 donation: Why don't you play Multiplayer or MOBA games much anymore?]

Donnies model gains a slightly annoyed look. "Hmm, good question SneakySoftshell. He said with some sarcastic annoyance. And to answer your question, I kept getting teamed with toxic randoms, who when learning who I was would either get more toxic, or beg for a collab!" Splashing could be heard and kinda seen with some glimpses of the tip of his tail could be seen over the edge of the pool. "And there were a few who kept trying to pressure me to join their E-Sports teams... probably very much against protocol. Plus, I may not have predicted the decline in E-Sports, but I was not going to join a team just to probably be let go because of them cutting back teams in the big leagues."

They let out a huff with a slight hiss. "Besides being on a team is somehow more expensive than what we already do with this VTuber stuff! Yes, I did the math of how much this would all cost if everything was outsourced, and not mostly done between all of us!" Donnie then sinks into the pool with a another hiss. Bubbles could be heard along with a slight grumbling sounds.

Shelldon then floats into frame while looking down into the pool. He then lowers down, and taps, what could only be Donnies Snout, while saying "Boop!" Then zooming off with a laugh.

Donnie pushes themself back up with a bit of a blank look, not sure how to react to having his Snoot Booped.

Then in comes a number of bits, donations, and channel point redemptions came flooding in say 'Boop!', 'Boop the Snoot!', 'Shelldon Boop!', and a verity of similar messages, and animations flooding the screen.

Donnie just turns to look at the camera with a slight look of disbelief. "Why is it that my Son tapping me on the nose, is what sends you all into a frenzy?" They read the chat, "Oh sorry, my Son Booped me, and it was quote unquote 'Very Very Cute'," He leans against the side of the pool towards the camera. His tail is visibly swaying behind him. "I will never fully understand you guys."

Shelldon flies back in to nuzzle his head against Donnies with a digital purring being picked up be the microphone. Shelldon then flies back off with a shout of "Love you Dad!" Donnie stares after him.

"Shelldon, please, I don't think the audience can take much more, 'cuteness', and 'wholesomeness', or so the chat is saying."

The audience made an attempt to change the topic a few times, but kept overlapping eachothers requests.

"Well since there isn't a good suggestion, let's go over some science facts that I have memorized over the years, and you can guess which ones were proven to be false after much research~~" Donnie reaches over to a tablet to bring up a box that the science facts would show up on, along with a proven true, or false, and counter.

The audience was pretty entertained for how long this went on. Alot of memes and fanart was created from clips and screenshots of this stream.

-------------------

Masterpost

I had heard about the decline in E-Sports, and had thoughts of Donatello being on an E-Sports team, and all I could figure is that he would probably like it at first, then start to hate it fairly quickly.

[pyrrhicraven]

I love your TMNT fics too! Can you galk about all of your TMNT ships please? 🥺

Fic name followed by the pairings as currently, my three fics have three very different versions of these characters lol

Last Knight Saki/Raphael: Saki has always been one of my favorite villains, and it's almost difficult not to see the goofy guy from the 87 series. But In some versions of TMNT Saki is a cold-hearted monster and in Last Knight, he isn't a good guy, Saki is a mobster, he is a killer, and more importantly he is a human being. He has feelings, and for the most part, he knows some of the things he does are really fucked up. Raphael is very much a ninja capable of killing, but he's also the heart of his family. If anything Saki's bringing the true ninja out of Raphael even while they're falling deeper into a romantic relationship. This is also probably the closest I'll get to writing a soulmate fic for TMNT 😂 I enjoy writing these two interactions because there is so much I can do with them, they both are very versatile characters. Mikey/Tiger Claw: I wanted to try out this pairing as I hadn't written for Tiger Claw before and toeing the line between enemies and not enemies has always been something I'm fond of writing. These two might not stay in a relationship but they'll have fun while they are in it lol Bebop/Rocksteady: Funny to say but this is one of my OTP's, you just don't get Bebop without Rocksteady, and the same in reverse. I hadn't written for them before and I really wanted to at least hint at it as they aren't the main pairing or even the secondary lol Hamato Yoshi/Tang Shen: A Canon Pairing but one I'll keep because it is tragic and Splinter is really messed up from her death, it's fun to write different ways she died, and also how much everyone involved regretted her dying so needlessly.

Pac-Man Mikey/Delisha: Delisha is an OC of mine that I made for Mikey to fall in love with. De is my first attempt at a trans character and a romantic partner for Mikey! She's funny and adores Mikey, she also works for Shredder as a receptionist and sometimes as a medic. That actually doesn't bother Mikey that she works for the enemy because he adores her. Of course, if she worked against him and his brothers that would certainly start an argument and a possible breakup for these two. Donatello/Saki: The Main pairing for Pac-Man. They are going to hurt each other, Both of them are really messed up Donnie having gone through a situation that really made him switch up his game and Saki just being the normal paranoid bastard that he can be lol Of course their differences are going to start arguments and Saki isn't just going to allow Donnie to control whatever their wacky relationship is and Donnie isn't going to give up power that easily. Casey/Raphael: Not my usual cup of tea, but I don't mind occasionally writing pairs that I wouldn't normally, and I also got the idea because someone asked me if Donnie's with Saki who's Raph with lol They are best friends so it's easy to transition that into a more romantic relationship. They still do all their normal stuff, but now they also cuddle on the couch to watch movies-kiss, etc. Leo/Rocksteady/Bebop: I was learning about terminology and QPR caught my attention. I'd already planned for Rocksteady/Bebop for this fic but adding Leo in a Queer platonic relationship with them had all the guys dating lol April/Venus: I was researching and was reminded once again that Venus was a thing and I should add her coming back into the guy's lives after having been away for a while. Pairing her off with April gave me Casey/Raph vibes and I liked that so I added it in, Not sure If I'll write this paring again after this fic but I'll have fun exploring their dynamic in the fic.

Nova Saki/Raphael: The Saki in this is a much better person than he is in Last Knight and Pac-Man. He's also really messed up from a long possession and learning how to live in a new era. Raphael in this is learning what it's like to be stabbed in the back by 'friends'. They begin to trust each other and eventually grow romantic feelings for each other. Now when the family finds out well that's going to be fun to write lol

[eternalglitch]

Hi!! I rlly look up to your writing and was wondering what tips you have on handling heavier topics like in LFLS? Particularly was there any preparation or specific research you found that helped with themes like brainwashing? Thank you!!

Lots of research went into areas that I had less prior knowledge– some examples I can think of for different types of research I did:

-Spent three hours reading police interviews for families that had a loved one go missing for more than a week

-Googled differences of a panic attack and overstimulation

-Interviewed a friend on panic attacks

-Interviewed a (different) friend on overstimulation

-Researched written ASL in books and media

-Talked to four (and counting) people that are fluent or studying ASL after doing my basic research and prep so that they don't have to explain the obvious to me

-Discuss themes of trauma and my approach to them with beta readers that have more firsthand experience than I do (basically sensitivity readers :})

-Researched various injuries on Google

-If I need anything else, I might toss a request on Twitter or here for anyone with know-how that would be all right talking to shoot me a message :}

My rule of thumb is that details that seem minor to the writer might mean a whole lot to someone reading it if they have that life experience, so the more research you do, the better. When possible, actually talking to people and hearing what is done wrong in other works and what they wish was done right is by far the best thing you can do.

But this is true even for less serious topics! I've had people find little details that only certain people could catch the actual meaning of, and they tend to get very excited about it. Some of these are actual comp sci jargon Donnie says is stuff that is factual and taught in colleges, Hueso uses a "fake" Spanish swear word in the last chapter because he's around kids (the English equivalent is using heck instead of hell or goshdarnit instead of goddammit), plus many more!

Research can make your writing feel stronger and more impactful. And for more serious topics, do your due diligence so that even if you DO make a mistake, you can still feel like you did the best frontend effort you could. Then you learn from whatever was incorrect and correct it if possible and keep going.

Oh, also I love the channel on youtube called Cinema Therapy. I recommend their stuff, it's a therapist and a movie guy watching shows and films and talking about it. I love the Arcane one for the concept of guilt and what is guilt's purpose for use in lfls.

[writinandcrying]

Hellou!Im the persone who asked about requests a while back(Mainly because I didnt wanna overwhelm you if theyre closed) and Im really glad they are.Anyway,could I request Donnie(TMNT),Tamaki(BNHA) and/or FatGum(BNHA)(Also,I hope I havent gone over the character limit) with a slightly chubby s/o?(Insecure or not,you chose!).You dont have to do this if you dont want to tho!Have a nice week❤

Hellou! Thank you so much for being so thoughtful, I’ll have to apologize tho, I no longer write for bnha, I had a huge burnout fand I do not feel comfortable writing about it anymore, I hope a veeeery detailed Donnie reaction to a chubby reader will make up for the absence of those characters! ♥️

Tmnt - Donnie x Chubby reader (Gender Neutral!)

I’ll have to start that all of the boys wouldn’t judge or reject you based on your appearance, being either chubby, slim, tall, short, there are a few attributes that I think each turtle would find it e seeing or interesting, but it’s more… humanly related(?) maybe one day I’ll make a post about it if you guys wanna hear my opinion on it hehe :)

Donnie(generalized) x Chubby Reader:

just like there are certain stuff about the turtles that they like and dislike about themselves, there are stuff about humans who think the same about themselves! and even though Donnie knows there are beauty standards that control many areas in humans society, he still doesn’t understand why people outcast those who are different

I think some of us (readers / shippers) get a bit :C when thinking about Donnie bc in almost every version, he had a crush on April (who is a babe in every. Version. Specially rise, I love rise-April so much, and that’s the only apriltello I’ll let it slide lmao) and that can give a “perception” that he wouldn’t even glance at some of us ( “us” = being a huge group, trans, guys, chubby girls, chubby guys, skinny girls and guys, everyone who doesn’t fit the normie mold I guess- I unfortunately think about that often. Which sucks cuz I gotta remind myself that isn’t true!!! At all!!)

I personally Headcanon Donnie being… I don’t know if interested would be the correct word, but more intrigued with how humans relate to each other, on their first missions, he knew they could… scare some of them off, “frightened by their own prejudice” as master splinter would say, but it’s far more different to hear about it than to actually live it, and it hurts to hear someone scream their heart out just by seeing you

While growing up, he started to notice not only in television, on and off midia, how people would mess around with others on the street just because of their appearance, he knew society worked though this beauty standards, but he didn’t understand it. It didn’t made sense! value someone based on what they look like? There are so many things, so many attributes to make someone interesting, and you gonna pick the most…. Boring? Plain? Vague? Shallow reason to create privilege over others? Really? (And thst enters on the topic of how almost all beauty standards are rooted in white privileged and racism but I’ll go on a tangent about it once I start it and I’ve already said a lot lols)

He could literally go on for hours about this topic (which he has. At least tried with each one of his brothers, but they never really responded well to so said topic “if humans have it bad, then what do we have left?” Raphael barked back once, an attempt to shut him up, which it worked, btw- he didn’t like to go through that direction when thinking about that topic, but yeah, what does he have left?)

He started searching about different aesthetics, ethnicities, he has folders on Pinterest dedicated different body types, cultures, he swears it’s for research reasons, which kinda is, but Donnie’s guilty pleasure is checking “different” people online, those who would deem strange and weird outside the internet, he liked seeing their content and specially their comment sections being filled with wonderful compliments, people relating to different styles and tastes, that gave him hope that there are someone out there with different views of how everyone should be “shaped”, and that maybe he will find someone who thinks he’s handsome and desirable (Donnie, just like Raph, is also insecure about his body, but he’s more… melancholic about it, if you confessed to Raphael, there would be a high change of him pushing you away, trying not to break his heart from actually believing you, while DonDon here, if you both started dating- on some days Donnie would need more reassurance that yes, his partner does think he’s handsome/hot/attractive. Otherwise he might internalize his insecurities and it will be HARD to get a confession “why he’s so upset out of the sudden” from this turtle)

With that being said!!!! (My god I do know how to ramble) without even realizing, Donnie open his “preferences”? Let’s say, Became more open minded than most, While seeking comfort for himself, and when he says he doesn’t have a type, he really doesn’t. There are so many aesthetics that could be attractive! punks, goths, cottagecore, y2k, dark academia, light academia, grunge, fairycore, alt, the list is endless! And don’t get him started on physical attributes cuz there are so many different combinations that some how, people manage to connect the most random ones and make it look great

Donnie wouldnt fall for someone specially bc of their appearance, or that would be the first reason he would fall head over heels, when you think about it, what happened to April it was that she was extremely passionate and dedicated to *insert which cause she was fighting for* and took Donnie seriously, that light up a lightbulb in his head that has never been on before, people showing how ardently they can be into something, how much they care and such, that’s attractive to him, and after that, everything that person does, or is, suddenly becomes beautiful and amazing for Donnie

Withthatbeingsaidpart2- if Donnie did fall for someone more on the chubbier side, their “plumpy-ness” would def be something to call his attention out after he developed feelings, he longed for your hugs, specially after he found out how soft and warm they were, he actually started having more naps after you caught his heart, imaging how it would be to cuddle someone as soft as you while hugging his pillow late at night on his bed (which eventually he would doze off from day dreaming so much)

Talking about day dreaming, Donnie can totally lose himself in his mind, just like with his projects, he can imerse himself in a fantasy about you two easily, which makes him totally freeze when you show up and he actually have to say or do something he has been constantly dreaming about

So please confess first, cuz when I say he can lose himself in his daydreams, that can last for months until he actually gathers courage to do something about it

While in a relationship, Donnie is totally a hopeless romantic, but not the typical “roses and candlelight’s dinner” kind, as your boyfriend, he wants to help you out no matter what, he will make aaaaas many inventions as he can that might increase the quality of your life, becomes easier to do… whatever, literally. And he always longs for your adorable reactions to his gifts

He adores your chubby cheeks, he will! Get lost! in your face! Your eyes! Eveything! He will oh so slowly caress his knuckles softly across it, sliding to your neck, traveling through your arms, he likes to squish your face a bit as well while cupping it when he goes for a kiss, he just thinks everything about you is adorable (and hot at the same time)

He really like the contraste his skin has with yours, it’s so foreign for him and he can’t help but to love how smooth your skin can be, (which leads his mind to ahem. Certain kind of thoughts. If you know what I mean)

Just like he needs reassurance about his appearance, he knows you probably had to deal with more than one unpleasant comment about your physique, so you don’t even have to ask, Donnie is so whipped with you, compliments about you just drip of his tongue, and it’s always so sweet, followed by a pair of soft eyes, always admiring you, plus, Donnie is a science / fact man, he would gather information about other cultures that value more curvy, chubby, bigger people, he would go as far as making a slide presentation how wonderful and more inclusive people are being (even if it doesn’t seams like it, and there’s still a long way to go) he would include real opinions online other than his on the matter that your body is indeed, a snack, (aaaaaand he is once again right, aaaaand just like everyone else you just have to live with it and accept it 😌 end of story)

He would definitely “put up to test” his theory of how amazing it is to cuddle someone who’s more on the chubbier side (and his theory is ✅ correct)

Cuddling becomes a weekly thing for you guys, that being you sitting on his lap, having naps, watching movies together, he loves to create or update his projects with you on his lap, holding you grounds him. Plus it’s easier to speak some kisses on your cheeks that way

He finds out some people on the heavier side stops themselves to live some experiences the hard way, he never wants to make you uncomfortable, ever. But it takes a while for him to understand why wouldn’t you like to, as an example, wear a bathing suit/ swimwear around other people, wearing lighter clothes when it’s absurdly hot during winter time, that you don’t like when he picks you up? things that don’t connect right away. he promises himself to never force you to do anything you don’t want to, but he slowly will try to support you to do whatever you have always wanted to but stopped yourself from doing so bc of your weight

He would take extra time while making out with you, he wants you to know how much he loves your body, every inch of it. Lowkey likes to drag his nails on your tights and mark you

Overall? Donnie is extremely thoughtful, independently of how his partner look like, if they were “part” of some sort of outcast from society, he would take his sweet time to show how important and special his partner is, he is extremely thankful to be able to experience love, something that not only him, but all of the boys, thought it was out of their reach for a really long time, so you bet he’s going to show how appreciative he is oof your love, of all of you 💜

I really tired to innovate a bit here, didn’t want to add the same stuff as other Headcanons that already exists (I mean, Its cute to read how we as writing blogs / authors “agree” on how the boys would react in certain situations, which it is a FactTM that Donnie is a sweetheart. but it’s also good to read new stuff, oooor you know, a new perspective of it, even if it is a “common” / “already done” scenario, you know? )

even if I mostly rambled about Donnie’s personality analysis than to actual stuff he would do or act around an chubby reader lmao, I truly hope you like this! I didn’t proof read this so I’m sorry if there are any grammar mistakes hehe

The Story So Far... Part 1 of 2

Okay party turtles, listen up! Before we can progress with the planned storyline for TTATC, I want to make sure everyone is caught up on the previous arc, "Loss, Love and Alien Invasion." Here's a summarized version of the major plot points for this arc.

Divided into two parts because Tumblr is weak and won't let me post it together.

Auditions will be opened tomorrow for new characters! Those will be announced on each blog as well!

Leo struggles with self worth after the invasion. Noticing that the Foot Clan is up to something nefarious, the brothers investigate and manage to stop them from robbing a bank.

Donnie and Leo see the money in the back, and being the little shits that they are, decide to steal it.

Leo goes out on his own for patrols and begins to notice that he's being followed. Taking care in the next time that they go out, Leo goes with Mikey to watch out for him, only for the two of them to be attacked by a group of bounty hunters.

The fam discovers that the Foot Clan placed a bounty on their heads after Donnie and Leo took their money. Some research on Donnie and Leo's part reveals the bounty hunters to be a group of Kaikishi warriors from Neo Edo, a city of yokai similar to the Hidden City of New York within Japan. These bounty hunters are Chizu, Gen, Ktisune, and brothers Miyamoto and Yuichi Usagi.

The brothers agree that leaving the lair is risky for the time being, and turn to help from the one person they know with connections to the Hidden City; Big Mama, in hopes that she can help them get rid of the bounty. Leo of course doesn't trust this, but agrees with his team. This turns out to be a terrible decision when Big Mama betrays them, capturing all the brothers except for Leo. She sends her masked assistant after him, and Leo takes to hiding in the vents.

While doing so, he discovers that the Usagi brothers are also staying in the hotel, and follows them to learn more information. He doesn't get very far before he has to choose between vent spiders or jumping them. This doesn't go well as he is soon discovered by the masked assistant, and is forced to fight the three of them at once, resulting in Leo very injured as well as the discovery that the assistant is a Turtle, who looks exactly like him. Leo frees his brothers, and they investigate the assistant, discovering she is their long lost sister Draxum had assumed dead.

They scheme to get her back, but Leo decides to clear his head by going out for a run. Leo encounters Miyamoto, who looks to talk instead of fight.

Miyamoto accuses Leo of being a dishonorable ninja, but questions him on why he went back to his team when he could have escaped. Leo's loyalty catches Miyamoto off guard, and Miyamoto slowly begins to gain respect for him as a fellow leader. The two agree to a friendly spar, when they are interrupted by Yuichi, Miyamoto's younger brother. Yuichi thinks Leo is attacking Miyamoto, but his brother convinces him otherwise and the three part ways for the time being.

There's another excursion to the hotel, but not for a fight - rather because the brothers believe their sister should know the truth about where she's from. It seems she doesn't care, and attacks them, especially Leo, breaking his arm and sending them away. They take refuge in the lair to recover.

Later, the others go out for dinner with April, Cassandra and Casey, while Leo stays home to rest. This turns out to be a mistake when Leo is attacked by four out of five of the bounty hunters, Miyamoto noticeably missing.

Unfortunately, Leo is captured and taken to Big Mama, who plans to collect his bounty. The family goes to help Leo escape, only to realize Leo had managed to talk their sister into helping him - not only that, they are aided by Miyamoto himself, who believes that the turtles aren't really the bad guys here thanks to Leo's explanation.

They are discovered, and their sister is forced to abandon Big Mama for her true family. The sister takes the name Venus De Milo as she helps the fam take Leo home, where she meets her father for the first time. She claims to not want to stick around for long, and the turtles accept this.

Leo and Donnie take advantage of their new twin sister by indoctrinating her into pranks, Mikey helps her cook, and Raph helps her meditate.

Leo begins to realize they haven't heard from the Foot Clan in a long time, and starts to investigate what they're up to, believing they placed the bounty on everyone's heads as a distraction.

Things are tense but peaceful until Miyamoto arrives, with news that his brother has been captured. Big Mama believes Yuichi was the one to assist in Leo's escape, and Miyamoto and his friends need help to free him before he's forced into the battle nexus. The brothers all refuse, except for Leo, who knows exactly what Miyamoto is going through.

Leo disobeys orders and portals himself, Miyamoto and their friends to the dungeon Yuichi is kept in, much to the other rabbits obvious chagrin. Leo tries to stay out of the ensuing fight due to his injuries, but ultimately can't help it and is forced to defend himself. One of Big Mama's goons lands a nasty hit to his head, knocking him unconscious and sending Miyamoto into a rage.

The Neo Edo crew bring Leo home, and express an apology for their actions. Splinter allows them to temporarily stay in the lair until they can find a way home. Yuichi and Leo are not happy with the arrangement, but everyone agrees to a truce for the time being.

After some recovery time, Donnie decides to take everyone out to a rave, including the Neo Edo crew. During the rave, Leo, Miyamoto and Yuichi take refuge in the bathroom from all the noise, with Miyamoto parting early to get away from Leo and Yuichi bickering. One thing leads to another, and eventually the two begin to kiss. Donnie walks in and Raph nearly catches them, before they both escape to the Turtle Tank. Leo unfortunately realizes his feelings for Yuichi during this time, only to be shot down as Yuichi asks him to pretend that the events of the night never occurred.

Donnie and Venus both learn of this, with Donnie comforting Leo and Venus punching Yuichi in the face the next day.

Leo figures out why the Foot Clan were distracting them; they'd been planning a heist to free Sister Kraang from government detainment. He and the brothers intercept them, only to realize that she's already been freed. During the attack, she attaches herself to Leo's arm, but gets thrown off by Casey. Afterwards, Miyamoto and Yuichi help Leo patch up his arm, and Yuichi officially apologizes for his actions.

Leo and Casey have a family night together, with Casey revealing some concerns he has to Leo about the Kraang. They both admit that they fear they really stopped the future, and decide to investigate the technodrome wreckage in the city.

In doing so, they discover it is not as uninhabited as once thought, with a face hugger thing attacking Leo, and the entire group being attacked by a giant Kraang monster. Once it sees Leo, it tries to cocoon him, and he begins to hear voices whispering about, "host," and, "prime."Yuichi and Miyamoto arrive on the scene and free Leo. They finish the fight, with Leo warning them not to get any of the Kraang ooze on or in them.

hey Andi! 💞 how u doing?

I have a few questions for you ☺️

if you could be an animal, which one would you be and why? 🐾

what’s your favourite snack? 🥨

do you prefer salty or sweet? ✨

what’s your best and worst memory from your childhood? 💭

and what do you love the most about Donnie? 💜

I’m sorry if there are too many... love ya 🫶

Andi: No worries! And I'm doing well, thank you for asking. 😌

If I were an animal, who would I be...hm, interesting question. I think I'd be a mute swan; beautiful and elegant, but actually quite dangerous. Kind of like me, in a way?

Anyway, sorry. Off topic.

Next one! It's not really a snack, more a meal, but I love miso ramen, especially made by my friend Mr. Murakami. But if you want a snack answer, I'd say either kettle corn, dark chocolate or salt and vinegar chips.

Okay, hm..it depends on my mood. When I want to decompress at the end of the day, I prefer more sweet stuff - cookies, some chocolate, stuff like that. But if I feel like just having a snack, I like more salty stuff, like pretzels or salt and vinegar chips.

Oh, this is gonna be interesting. I'll start with the good first.

My best memory is a toss-up between when my first sleepover with April when I was 13 (the 2 am brownie incident,) or when I was 6 and won my first school science fair. I made a prototype of a bionic arm and so many people crowded around it. Though I nearly got in trouble by threatening a kid to go away when he wouldn't stop poking it.

Worst memory...okay. *takes a breath* So, I was 13 and in history class. I was researching for a paper I was supposed to write when I was called down to the principal's office. And when I got there, there was the principal and two police officers. The lady asked me if I knew why they were there, I shook my head no, and she kind of sighed and knelt down to me, and told me that they got an anonymous call to come to my apartment...and they found my dad dead on the floor. *shakily sighs as she fights back tears* I remember just shaking my head and begging them to tell me it wasn't true, a-and I started crying...because, well...he was all I had as far as family. I don't know my extended family and my mom disappeared after they divorced, so to lose the last piece of family I had...it killed me.

Um...c-can we move on now?

Dee, off screen: One more question, hon!

Andi: *nods slightly, calming down* Okay, good. *realizes what she said and looks at Dee* Really?

Dee: Just answer the question, please?

Andi: *shakes her head* Fine, fine. Um...*reads question and blushes* Jeez, another about Don...alright, fine. I'd say just...how genuinely kind he is. He's never once made me feel judged or belittled or anything like that - and I've told him some dark stuff too. So to have that level of of respect and love from someone is just...really nice. I know, it sounds very bare minimum, but it's true. Not a lot of people have made me feel so...loved.

----------

Thank you so, so much for the ask! 🩷🩷

[thedawningofthehour]

Is there a reason Splinter calls Donnie by his color more often than his brothers?? I remember in doth, Donnie felt like Splinter never liked his name, because the artist Donatello wasn't part of the 'holy trinity' of the renaissance or something, and that Splinter wanted a daughter. Is this true, or is Donnie's perspective in that scene somewhat warped, and Splinter just does it to tease his son? This was a while ago but idk, I just liked this detail a lot.

Donnie's definitely talking from his own insecurities about his place on the team.

I went from being vehemently against Splinter calling them by their colors (because he's SPLINTER, he calls his boys by their full names! It's just wrong otherwise!) to seeing the colors as beloved childhood nicknames that he still uses because those are his babies. (though I still don't like him referring to them by their shortened names-he will use their full names or the stupid nickname he has for them, no in-between) The way I imagine it, he had four turtle babies. He was a single dad. His vision wasn't that great to begin with-it might have even gotten worse after his mutation, as rats have terrible vision. And he was fucking tired. He needed some kind of system because he was calling Leo and Donnie Stripes and Stripes 2 in his head, and no it was not consistent who was Stripes 2. Turtles have cloacae, which means their sexual organs are inside and all their species generally don't display secondary sexual characteristics at birth, so he didn't know if they were males or females. So he slapped some colors on them and called it a day. When they actually started sleeping through the night and he could poop in peace, then he started thinking about real names.

Canonically, he calls Donnie by his color the most. I can't find it now or I'd link it but someone did go through the series and catalogue it. He uses Purple the most, closely followed by Blue. He only rarely calls Raph Red, and actually never calls Mikey Orange. I kind of get it for the others-orange is more difficult to pronounce that blue or red, and Raph and red are close enough that he made the switch pretty easily. But purple? It's the same amount of syllables as Donnie and is actually more difficult to pronounce. (though Splinter is not a native English speaker so what would be easiest for me to say would not necessarily be easiest for him, to be fair)

I can't really chalk this up to favoritism because honestly, while Splinter loves all his kids equally and his favorite kid shifts from day to day based on shit like who's amusing him the most and who ate the last poptart, I do feel like he generally likes Donnie and Mikey a little more. So the fact that he almost always calls Donnie by his color but exclusively uses Mikey's real name doesn't really make sense.

So in my canon, Donnie was the last one he sexed, so he called him by nothing but his color the longest. (I think when I did my research Leo should have actually been the last one to start displaying secondary sexual characteristics, but whatever)

And he did want at least one daughter-not because he preferred one or the other, but he would have liked a mix. He wasn't being weirdly gendered about it, this is Lou Jitsu for fuck's sake-his kids played with dolls and racecars, they watched Barbie movies and then some anime mech show. He didn't give a fuck about gender roles and he certainly didn't force them on his kids. But Splinter is also an older dad and grew up in a very different culture. He didn't have siblings, didn't really have friends with kids. So there were definitely times he was sitting at his kitchen table while his four sons ran around screaming their heads off and thought "it would be nice to have some little girls." (meanwhile a few blocks away April is playing Frankenstein with her barbies)

IS THERE ARCANE DONNIE LORE THEY'RE THE SCRUNKLE EVER I LOVE THEM

There is actually winky face

I typed this earlier on discord so it's messy but big and there's a bit more now so it'll all go under the cut :]

We just came up with them like today so there isn't a whole lot but I'll add to the thread as we come up with more anyways they worked with silco for a decent amount of time not really knowing what the fuck they were doing because they just wanted to do something and didn't really care how it impacted anyone so they didn't pay attention a whole lot and treated it kind of like busywork but at one point they were like . shit . and decided that they had to not do this but the problem was that they didn't really know how to leave and not face consequences so they stayed around for another month or so before there was a lab explosion while they were working on smth and it was just them there so they realized that this would be the perfect (and probably only) opportunity to dip so (like a dumbass) they left without taking care of any of their injuries and their somewhat deluded self decided that it was a good idea to leave the undercity entirely and they passed out a few minutes after they got there (obviously) and woke up in the hospital (obviously) because funny thing is it just so happened that there was an explosion at a mansion or whatever the fuck it was from ep 1 nearby so everyone assumed that this was just some random guy caught in the crossfire so anyway fast forward a bit and they find out about Hextech beginning to become a thing and is like holy shit I need to do THAT and sneak in using totally legal methods and is just like "hi !! I'm doing this with you now!! how does it work how did it start" and the only reason that they aren't immediately kicked out and arrested or smth is that they're actually really good at this shit because they're donnie and they're recognized as that random guy from the news who got exploded a little bit (also the stuff on their mask is just paint I liked how it looks so I kinda went with it) and I think that's it for now

They're so unhinged and just get themself into situations™️

The government is p stupid so I think this could work out somehow

-their goggles aren't actually goggles !! The top parts are detachable and prety easily break in order to release the liquid inside which gives it the color and is highly corrosive so if they ever get into a bad spot they can just fuck someone up

-They're aware of the fact that their clothing is way too fucking big but they refuse to get things that actually fit them . Even in the lab they wear their regular attire (yes it is a hazard . They've been told . They do not care)

-the most normal person who is definitely from topside no lies 100% real and true (they're from the undercity)

-this is technically a separated au because they're not aware of the fact that they have siblings for a while (like after they leave the undercity) although the others know that they exist somewhere but they don't know where oh and splinter is dead btw fjs

-Theyre not really used to fighting with weapons, most of the fights they're in/have been in are hand to hand but when they do use weapons they usually go for shit that you can throw and that hurts a lot because it's the most affective and that's all they really care about

-because of this their fighting style is really chaotic they are entirely unpredictable to people who haven't seen them before but there's a method to their madness although as soon as they start carrying corrosive liquid on their person people leave them alone for the most part fhks

-they barely ever sleep and the amount of times they they've passed out in front of research and whatnot is countless

-they did stay with silco for a bit after they realized that this is fucked up actually not only because they couldn't leave without basically faking their death if they didn't want consequences but also because the little shreds of validation that they got were literally everything without someone present to give them that they're even worse than regular rise donnie

-They're thirteen about to turn fourteen when they start working with silco and they're fifteen when they "die" and leave to topside . they itty bitty

-also YES they do have a techbo and YES it is equipped with many explosives and whatnot and there's even more after they leave silco because they're paranoid a little bit

Project Rue: A ROTTMNT Fanfic.

It had been 10 years since the defeat of the kraang. Everyone had kept moving forward with their lives and worked hard to keep the world safe. The brothers had changed the most out of everyone. Michael Angelo became a professional anonymous painter, Raphael became a teacher of yōkai Martial Arts, Donatello remained a scientist but became interested in the natural and unnatural world. He continues learning through his travels and technological advancements. And Leonardo became a role model for many in the hidden city. He taught the resistance fighters and longed for a peaceful life between yōkai and human beings.  

The brothers had their fair share of romances through the years but one of them stayed. After the kraang invasion, Donnie felt like he could concur the world. Looking at his best friend, he found that the feelings he buried so deep before were being unearthed. Every time she would laugh, say a sarcastic comment, or even when she fell to the ground, he fell in love with her. When she said something scientific, he would get especially warm. He had noticed a few little changes whenever she would talk to him. When he would listen to her ramble on, she would notice and pause with a smile. When he would help her onto his shell during a battle, she would hold on to him tighter. She started to share more about her family and reminisce about when they first met as kids.  

At one point, she asked him, “How do you feel about relationships?” Donnie was a bit startled at first but then he shared. “I haven't really been in one before so I’m not sure what to expect. I have thought about it though. I feel a certain way about someone, but I have done the theories and research and I have no idea if they return my feelings...” Donnie looked up to find April at a short distance away from him. She sat on the floor in front of him and looked up. “Donnie, I don’t know if this is true...but is this person in front of you?” His eyes widened and his cheeks got warm. He stuttered, “...I... yeah...” Her eyes softened and she placed her hand on his. “I’m sorry that I took so long to figure it out D. The truth is...I’ve liked you for a long time. Every time you would geek out about your inventions or find some new scientific discovery, I just adored you. Honestly, you hide your feelings crazy well.” “Heh...I know...,” said Donnie. “It’s a personality flaw.” She then cupped his face in her hands and said, “You’re the most interesting person I have ever met. When we met as kids, I knew that someday we would become best friends...but I have found that I feel more than that. I love you, Donnie.” He fell into her arms and held her close. He felt her warm hands on his shell, and he felt a tear stream from his eye. “I love you too, April.”

From that day forward, their relationship grew into a beautiful romance. They respected each other and protected each other through every situation. He kept her safe, and she stood by him every step of the way. She knew his weaknesses and strengthened them with every time she kissed his cheek. He sometimes struggled to show his true feelings, but she always knew how to listen when he shared. April laughed at the small things and brought out a playful side in Donnie that didn’t come out often. He laughed with her more and more. After about a year, Donatello promised his life to April. The brothers were so proud of their once introverted brother turned into a gentle, kindhearted, loving husband to their beloved childhood friend.  

They started to travel the world together, discovering new life and learning more about the world they call home, both mutated and not.

~Two Years Later~

After a while, they decided to return home and stay with their family. They walked down to the underground sewer system they had called home, greeting the fellow yōkai along the way. When they reached their old hideout, the brothers came running with tears in their eyes. Splinter came along and gave his son and daughter-in-law a big hug. They spent time eating pizza and doing cannon balls like the good old days. Donnie came to his old lab and longingly looked around. April came up behind him and he jumped. “Jeez you scared me!” April laughed at him, “Sorry D, I just saw you looking kind of sad and wanted to see what's up.” “Oh, it's nothing really...I was just thinking about how we were back then. I just wish I could’ve grown up human. The least I could’ve done was find an antidote to the mutagen.” April put her hands around his waist. “If you would’ve grown up human, we wouldn't have met. With my weirdo personality, you would not have even noticed me.” That second, she said that he whipped around and grabbed her shoulders. “You are the most amazing person I have ever met. I LOVE YOU, APRIL!” Her eyes started filling with tears. “I want to have a baby with you Donnie.” His grip softened and he felt his heart drop. His whole body became limp.   “Woah D! Jeez I'm sorry...that came out of nowhere.” “No no, I’m sorry...I just am surprised is all...I have been thinking about it...I just don’t know how it would be possible. If you want to, we can do some experiments. I want to figure out an antidote for the mutagen so our child can grow up with a normal life...I want them to be able to go to school and make friends...” April looked into his eyes with a loving smile. “I will help you with the antidote D. I would be happy with anything you would want to do for our future. If you are happy, I am happy.”  

Donnie started working with the genomes and cells of other mutations. April helped by sharing her thoughts and theories. They had about 3 months of late nights and coffee before they found something promising. One of the cells from an oozquito degenerated and became like a normal mosquito. This was bigger than they could’ve ever imagined. They looked at each other in amazement and rejoiced. From that point, they started experimenting on animal eggs and small insect larva. The project skyrocketed from there and they decided to try it for real.  

Altered DNA from Donnie and April was placed in a large capsule of warm, life sustaining liquid. Donnie was scared to transfer the egg to April because he was uncertain if it would affect her. She wanted to carry her child naturally, but she was also afraid of what could happen to her or their unborn baby. This was the safest option. All they had to do now...was wait.  

~One month later~

Donnie was making some ramen for him and April in the kitchen. He stopped to think for a moment and then popped. “Hey! I remember making some crazy spices when I was younger. They are prototypes still, but I bet they would taste so good in this. Let me go get it from my lab.” April giggled at him. “That sounds great D. I’d love to try it out.” As Donnie was rummaging through his lab, his eyes caught something. He stopped to look at the capsule once more. There it was...a tiny organism about the size of a grain of rice. His tears came before he got to say her name. He ran to the kitchen. “Did you find th--” Aprils eyes caught onto her husband's tears and crooked smile. She knew exactly what he was about to say, and she leapt into his arms. Sobbing and laughing brought the rest of the family into the room. “Woah, I told you guys to be easy around the onions” Raph started. “What's going on Donn?” Mikey asked. Leo ran up with a box of cereal in his arms. “Sheesh D, I haven't seen you cry like this since we tried to throw you into the ball pit. What the heck is happening.” Donnie and April held each other's hands and led their family to the lab. They all gasped in astonishment at the sight before them. April and Donnie looked at each other with tears in their eyes and held one another close. This changes everything.  

~After another few months~  

April and Donnie watched their daughter grow and develop throughout the months, monitoring her vitals and making sure she had everything she needed. “Have you thought of a name for her yet?” Donnie asked. “Hmmm...a few have popped into my head now and then...Sage, August, Dawn, Rue...” Donnie found himself stopping at the last one. “I really like that one. I feel like it goes with her personality.” April looked at him with a confused expression. “What do you mean D?” He pulled up a couple of chairs and sat with her as they watched. She moved in slow ways, gradually reaching up and nestling back down. As they watched her, they saw her small face and her little expressions. It was decided at that moment. Her name will be Rue. They continued to watch and wait as their new love grew. They would read to her and talk to her throughout the day...even though Donnie knew she couldn’t hear them. The brothers would come in and give her gentle hugs and kisses. Mikey would paint her pictures and tape them all around the lab for her. Leo would come in and talk to her about his day and he would give her little fist bumps on the capsule glass. Raph would always sit with her and play soft music. Splinter would always come in and give her little pep talks for when she was older.  

The monitor gave a small beep. Everyone jumped. They all huddled around her. “What?! What is it saying?” Mikey squeaked. “Is she ok???” Raph said. Donnie came to her and read the monitor. “Shes perfect. It looks like she is almost ready. It should be any day now that we can welcome her home.” They all breathed a sigh of relief. In a cold sweat, Leo sat on the floor. “Oh, thank God.” They all looked down at him. “What? It's not like I already envision myself being the coolest uncle and protecting her and teaching her everything she needs to know about being awesome.” Donnie and April looked at each other with concerned smiles. “Oh, jeez can you even imagine.” April said. Donnie looked back at her with his eyebrows raised. He spoke softly, “Don't.” They all snickered at him.  

After a couple of days, they received a notification that she was fully developed and ready to be released from her chamber. They all cleared a space and placed warm blankets and towels around the capsule. Donnie washed his hands and put some gloves on. He then released the pressure and opened the containment. From there he wrapped her in a soft, warm towel and made sure she was breathing properly, and her vital signs were perfect. She cried for a little while but when April held her in her arms, she was instantly relaxed. They stood around her and cooed. They watched her nuzzle into the cozy blankets. Raph gently placed his hand on hers and she held it with her little hand. “Oh, she is so strong! She is going to be a great warrior one day.” Mikey came close to her and smiled. She looks just like you April. She is missing eyebrows like you though Donnie.” “HAH you’re right!” Leo said. Donatello was unamused.  

April looked at Donnie with all her love. “Shes perfect.” Donnie smiled at her and kissed her forehead. “She is our perfect little girl.” They then sat in a circle on the floor and took turns holding her. Splinter had tears in his eyes when he held his first grandchild. “Her aura is strong. She has the willpower of a ninja for sure.” They then wrapped Raph in bubble wrap and gave her to him. He tried so hard not to shed any tears on her, but they just kept coming. He screamed in silence at how cute she was. When she was brought to Mikey, He rubbed her short curly hair from her forehead. “She is wonderful. I am going to do coloring books with her all the time!” When she was handed to Leo, He was a little afraid to handle her...but he held her close. He saw her small freckles on her nose and kissed them. “You are already full of wonder. I promise to always protect you.”  

“Welcome to the world little Rue.”

Story by me “Art3_” I will add the concept art soon. 

[wow-its-me]

If I had creative control over a TMNT iteration/movies

(The TMNT cu)

Ok five movies, all focusing on the world around the turtles rather than the turtles themselves, taking the majority of inspiration from IDW, 2012, and some pieces from Rise and the 90s movies.

Each movie would be titled after its main character, the first one being Hamato Yoshi. It would expanded upon the backstory given in 2012 with elements of the IDW BACKSTORY, starting with the love triangle, then Yoshi committing “treason” against the foot clan, sakis attack/“assassination”, Yoshi being framed for shens death, the loss of Miwa, and ending with Yoshi running to New York where a ooze spill causes him and four turtles to mutate, running to the sewers.

The next movie would be Casey and April, taking place 15 years after the events of the first. April O’Neil is a 18 year old stem student who’s doing an internship at Stockgen, Casey Jones a 19 year old hockey player with a job at a car shop. The two were childhood best friends who who don’t talk much anymore. Once Casey starts seeing some weird stuff going on around she decides to become a vigilante. Meanwhile April realizes that stuff going on at Stockgen isn’t what it seems. The two run into eachother while investigating, share notes, and realize that the pink alien robots are behind Stockgen. Of course signs and references to the turtles, Casey seeing or hearing them (fight with raph?) and things that make it seem like April already know them/is hiding something. Towards the middle/end of the movies they make their big entrance, of course Casey freaks out, and they six take down Stockgen together.

Karai! The next movie would focus on Karai and Leo, having scenes and explanations of how the two grew up, and how they mirror eachother. Shortly after the events of Casey and April Shredder knows of their existence and moves from Japan to New York with his best assassins and his daughter. Again the main perspective would be from Karai, as she learns about New York, Splinter, Stockgen, and Krang. Meanwhile the Hamatos are all on edge, preparing for an attack from the foot. Karai’s trust in her father begins to falter once she learns that their working with Krang. The reveal that Splinter was her father coincides the reveal of shredders true deal with Krang (mutant army/ bebop and rocksteady) . She switches sides, and is gladly accepted into the family. The family takes down Shredder together (with the help of April and Casey)

Mighty Mutanimals is a prequel taking place in the 15 year gap between the first and second film. Starting with a quick backstory for old hob, it would follow the mighty mutanimals getting together to take down Krang. Members include Old Hob, Spike, Sally pride, pigeon Pete, mondo gecko, Seymour Guts and Lindsey. (With Hob, Seymour, and Lindsey being the ‘main characters’) the arc would be similar to idw mighty mutanimals 1#-4# but instead focus on Krang more then Stockgen. They fail their mission, but gained a family, and swear to finish the fight one day. (Main character death? Sally pride? Spike? Lindsey? Seymour? )

Woah big finale! The movie follows the turtles as the main characters (splinter, april, Casey, and Karai are there too though) they learn about Krangs continuing plans to terraform the earth. Mikey and Raph meet the mighty Mutanimals (who are mostly depressed and have retired) they have a new member though, Alopex, who, with the help of her new friends convinces old hob to start fighting again (or at least help them out) meanwhile Karai and Leo go to the remains of the foot clan for help, they’re only able to recruit three Bebop, Rocksteady, and high a ranking assassin Jennika. MEANWHILE Donnie and April research more about the the utroms and where the come from (learning about portals, dimensions, neutrinos, and meeting the fugitoid.) yes, this leaves Splinter and Casey to defend the Lair together. Each part of the plan comes together and their able to take down krang and the technodrome, in one huge final fight.

(If there was a sixth it would be a fugitoid prequel)



While the overall vibe is ment to be more serious, the turtles are very much typical dorky 15 year olds, and April and Casey still very much still act like teenagers lol
