#leo is also the biggest ally

[allthegothihopgirls]

i uh. i-

i gayed them

[phoebepheebsphibs]

I mentioned in a reblog thing that I'd wanted to make a Rise comic series called "ROTTMNT: UNPAUSED" and I hinted to one of the finale episodes being called "Mikey's Birthday Bash"

Well I'm gonna infodump about that now...

So basically the episode started off with Mikey waking everyone up for a special breakfast to celebrate his bday, only to discover that not only did his brothers forget his bday, they all made plans of their own. To quickly make up for it, the guys take him into the Hidden City for a quick shopping spree before they all have to leave for their engagements. While Mikey is looking for something to buy, he overhears his brothers conversing about how in the next year, Raph won't be a TEENAGE mutant ninja turtle anymore (he is 17 currently). Donnie adds that he is already looking for colleges to join and hopes for an early admission. Leo also admits he has been planning for the future. Mikey realizes that his brothers are all planning to leave and grow up, which he is not ready for. He runs away crying, and meets a strange old hag who sells him a "special" birthday candle, which she promises will grant his biggest birthday wish.

Mikey finds his bros again and uses the candle on a meager cupcake they got for him. As soon as he blows the candle out, the four are transported into a version of the Battle Nexus, trapped there along with every other character from the show (and my comics) by the hag who sold Mikey the candle. She reveals that Mikey's wish was for "everyone to spend my birthday together", and the only way for them to escape is for the turtles to win the tournament! The bros are furious at Mikey for making the wish, and Mikey promises to get through the games as quickly as possible so they can get back to their plans and leave.

The hag states that the turtles will be pitted against their previous enemies, and with each round they win they'll will receive more allies. Anyone KO’d will be eliminated from the round and sent to watch in the audience, and upon the ending of the game all contestants will be returned to their last location. The enemies will get progressively more challenging until they defeat all of their opponents.

Round 1, April is with the guys, and they are up against Baxter Stockboy, Albearto, and the Purple Dragons.

Round 2, the Casey Joneses join the fight against the Foot Clan.

Round 3, Draxum, Splinter, Big Mama, and the two missing siblings hinted at by the writers join against the evil league of mutants and the Mud Dogs. April is KO’d after getting slammed into a wall and knocked unconscious by Heinous Green. Cass is KO’d by Hypno after he hypnotizes her to knock herself unconscious as well. Draxum is KO’d by Meat Sweats after he steals his power.

Round 4, Several characters (such as Agent Bishop and Mona Lisa) join to fight against the Triceratons (which were introduced in my series). During this round, everyone is K.O.'d except the turtles. However, Mikey sees that he didn’t finish the battles in time and his brothers have missed their appointments. He feels guilty, and his brothers are admittedly irritated.

Round 5, the final boss battle. They are pitted against the Shredder and the Kraang. Before the fight begins, Mikey has a blowout with his brothers and finally admits that he was angry they were gonna leave because he was scared of growing up, as he is not ready to be an adult yet and he doesn’t want to be alone. The Kraang interrupts stating “I can help you with that” and captures Mikey. However, the Turtles get one last team member… Karai. The Shredder -- having been defeated and Oroku Saki redeemed -- turns against the Kraang and sides with the Turtles and his daughter. The boys defeat the Kraang using the special formula from the movie, but not before the Shredder and Karai are K.O.'D by the Kraang. The Kraang are defeated with the last of the mixture, but to the boys' horror they see that Mikey was kraangified, and now have to fight against him as their last opponent. They try, but are unable to defeat him due to his increased strength AND his ninpo. Leo refuses to admit defeat, saying “Mikey never gave up on me… I can’t give up on him.” He tries one last attack, grappling with Mikey and holding him down...

I happened to make sketches of what came next...

The game finished, everyone is returned home. Mikey apologizes for everything, but Raph admits that he isn’t ready to grow up yet either, and he never wants to leave Mikey alone. He found out the hard way what that felt like, and the brothers agree to wait a little longer to grow up and enjoy being the teenage mutant ninja turtles while they can. Back at the lair, everyone bursts in to make sure Mikey is okay. They spend the rest of the day with him, enjoying his birthday...

So yeh that's that

[tizeline]

Are Donnie and Leo aware that they are twins? Did Draxum know their twins? Do they Decide later?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!????!!!

....

I'm super excited for Cassandra's appearance, the trio having a human ally could really help them understand Donnie's relationship with April (also, big sisters are fabulous)

Okay so for this I first wanna explain my headcanons for the whole twin situation in the show before I explain how it works in the AU

So the way I always imagined it, Splinter was able to figure out that Raph's the oldest, Mikey's the youngest and Leo + Donnie are the middle kids based on in which order they hit certain developmental milestones growing up. But becuase Leo and Donnie are much closer in age it compared to their brothers, it made it basically impossible to tell which one of the two was older. It's Leo btw, but Splinter would have no way of knowing that, and because of that he just decided to treat them like twins.

But you know who would know their actual ages? Draxum. Which means that in the Seperated AU everyone would already know that Leo's slightly older than Donnie cuz Draxum could just... y'know, tell them. And considering that, as well as how I tend to imagine the twin-thing would happen in the show's setting, there doesn't seem to be a very likely possibility that Leo and Donnie would even start viewing each other twins in the AU...?

Wait, wtf, I don't like that at all! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

I dunno, it might happen! Like, uh, I've already established Leo is the Draxum Brother who Donnie befriends first, so they'd have a pretty unique bond. And in the show's setting they would know, logically, that they aren't actually twins, but are rather perfoming the whole twin-relationship because they want. And they both look and act pretty similar. And I'd fully imagine Donnie insisting that Draxum somehow got the ages wrong cuz there's NO WAY someone as childish and stupid as 'Nardo could possibly be older than someone are mature and wise as Donatello!

Point is, they MIGHT still end up "becoming" twins in the AU!? Maybe!?

AND GOD CASEY!!

Omg I haven't even thought about the posibilites with Casey before you brought them up oooooooo my brain is braining!!

Listen, one of my biggest problems with Rise is that we never got the chance to get that classic Raph + Casey Bromance, and I just KNOW their dynamic in Rise would've been absolute peak! BUT NOW!! If the Draxum family starts to work with The Foot, and Raph meets Casey! I've been so focused on Donnie and April being the catalyst for the Drax Trio's redemption arc, but what if one of the major factors for Raph changing his view on humanity is him meeting and befriending Casey????? 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Man, I'm almost done with the Leo Brooding In A Pizzeria-arc, and THEN it's time for Raph aaghhhghg I've got IDEAS now thank youuuu!!!!!

Spoke&Parrot//To kill God in me

TW: Violence, suicidal thoughts

It all started at the end of season one.

He stood holding hands with his friends, preparing to say goodbye to this world, and thought, staring at the ground: If I were in Mapicc's place, I wouldn't have messed up so much. He was too stupid. I'm smarter.

The world stops, and then explodes, crumbling into stardust. Their team, conflicts, buildings — everything remains in the first season. But the thought stays with him.

*

Parrot is a really good ally. A well-aimed gaze searching for enemies, a firm back covering blind spots, a fluffy wing hiding from the rain. He doesn't think much before teaming up with him again. It's so easy that it's almost natural. They are definitely made for each other.

This time, they are going through a protracted war that is much tougher and bloodier. He gets used to killing and dying, he gets used to people around him dying. He learns to tolerate poisoning from golden apples, to recognize friends in vague points far away, and not to sleep for weeks. He learns to fight, and fight, and fight, 

and he puts the wither's heads on a pedestal at the moment when he knows that he is not able to win — but he still can destroy. He smiles, feeling better than anything in the world, takes off his armor, and stretches his arms out to the side, waiting for the explosion. He should feel helpless, but he feels so strong. Also, he feels pain, but it doesn't mean anything to him anymore.

*

"I know how to save this server," he thinks, as if he really knows better than anyone, and there are arrows with red potion tips hidden under his hoodie, and the handle of a bow is in his hand. Almost the entire spawn can be seen from the hill, and it hides in the shadows of the night while Leo announces the beginning of the Cleansing, declaring a war against the rest of the world.

It works until it doesn't. He kills and kills and kills until it all ends, and he holds Clown's hand, announcing the end of Cleansing, and everyone around rejoices and peace reigns, but looking at them, even now, at the peak, at the moment of someone else's happiness, when the world around seems flat, and the sounds disappear, for some reason, he knows: he failed.

*

Even now, he can make a difference. He grits his teeth. He adjusts the goggles. He clutches a sword. I will do what is required, he says, looking at the world crumbling under his feet. Only a human, he was much more than that. He was so much more than any of them. All he had to do was bury everyone else.

How long do I have to kill my friends, he thinks, running away from the TNT explosions under the Resistance base. How long do I have to break everything around me, he thinks, burning the elytras. How much longer do I have to go on, he asks himself, standing at the top of the hill on one heart.

It never gets easier. He laughs, and smiles, and dies, and revives, and kills, and kills, and kills until there's nothing left. And even though he still doesn't feel relieved when he falls into the void, he hopes that something will change next time.

*

And then he finds the glitch.

*

The plan is simple. It will work. It has to work. He will give Parrot a solution, the solution to the dupe glitch, and it will be an absolutely real solution. And then he'll slip him a Wormhole glitch. And when Parrot realizes what he has done, it will be too late.

He trusts me, Spoke knows. He may have objective doubts, but we have been hand in hand for almost all time, we founded the NPPP, and I will solve the biggest crisis in the history of the server instead of him — of course, he will do anything. They will all have to acknowledge my absolute strength, fear the man without pants, and they all will have to play by my rules.

And so, he is sitting in the middle of the vault, waiting for Parrot, completely confident in his success, when Zam and Mapicc jump at him from the ceiling.

They kill him, and he is equally angry and terrified.

Reality crumbles under his fingers, the universe twists into a spiral, and for a miserable moment, it seems to him that he is back in square 0.

(Parrot never finds the vault.)

*

He has to wait seven insanely long months. He gets used to the ability to fly, not take damage from anything, and crumble other people's skulls with light touches, but all this is just children's toys, the illusion of power and strength, only spoiling the game for everyone else.

And then Parrot, feeling the responsibility of the world on his shoulders, clearly not sleeping normally for many weeks and close to despair, puts down a command block, and the world around falls into place — Pandora's box wide opens.

He kills God in Parrot with a godslayer stiletto, separates the spiritual from the human, and then plunges it straight into the chest of a phantom image with empty eyes and glowing outlines, leaving Parrot as just a man, defeated and weakened, not even trying to resist, looking at him not with pain and not with rage — with disappointment.

As a result, Spoke makes him an offer. Parrot accepts it.

And, in the end, he gets everything he ever wanted, and finally plants Wormhole, preparing it for its imminent blooming.

*

The server continues to live, as if nothing has happened, while he rules it from the shadows. He prepares the stage for his concert while the mortals finish their skits, playing along to all sides at once and admiring the fruits of it through the spectator.

Wormhole is gradually growing, and oh, it's beautiful — an impossible combination of all shades from pink to deep blue, weapons of mass destruction in a shiny package. It pulls the energy for growth directly through him, and even his immortal body goes through a thin network of cracks due to the sheer power, but this, in the end, does not matter, because he can always create a new one.

Parrot does not tell anyone about the incident. He disappears from the radar, goes somewhere infinitely far away, and Spoke is sure he has a plan. When he teleports to him, even completely invisible, the Parrot understands this with some sixth sense, freezes, and stares straight into his eyes until Spoke leaves.

*

Wormhole is the bleed in terms of reality, existing everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It whistles, constantly in motion, breathing like a living person, and he needs only one touch to her so that it explodes in size, covering the entire spawn, opening many and many portals in other worlds.

It's beautiful. His creation, which had been waiting for its moment for many months, he feels the crackling and knows it's happy too.

*

He does everything perfectly in the sense that it is possible at all — he confronts two great forces in an almost equal battle, maintaining balance and bets, leaving the fugitives with surprisingly realistic chances for such a dishonest game,

because in fact, he does not want the victory of those to whom he himself handed a deadly weapon and sent hay into battle. All his attention is focused on Planet, because he remained on three hearts even when he was against the apocalypse. Which, to be honest, is what he expected from him.

This is a show, a show that he should enjoy himself... And that's what knocks him down — the painful realization that he's not having any fun at all.

And he, the all-powerful god, stays in the air around toxic chaos and madness, around endless violence and a circle of deaths, and thinks: why all this then?

He watches as his mercenaries kill Planet. He doesn't feel regret or sympathy, of course not, but the violence he carried always made sense. Once he carried it for a higher purpose, to make the world a better place, once to crush his enemies or take away everything they have, or to prove that- then to show everyone that he is better. And then, when he has no such motives, he does it for his own amusement, to laugh at people and tell them what idiots they are.

He doesn't feel any of this. He wants to prove something, but he has proven everything a long time ago. He wants Planet to prove something to everyone else — but is it all?

*

Of course, he doesn't stop there. He brings everything to an end: he smiles broadly and stretches out his arms, slowly walking towards Planet, and watches his last death at the hands of Mapicc in the middle of the woods.

And he won, but for some reason he feels defeated.

*

He knows about the hyperion in the Parrot's sleeve — a battle sword, a legendary weapon of war from distant lands. He opens his mouth, and talks, and talks, and creates his perfect ending, but deep down he just wants Parrot to take hyperion and cut his head off. 

Not because it would be his absolute victory. Not because it would be a demonstration that he could break even him. This has nothing to do with proving anything.

*

This never happens. He crushes his own pride. He puts on pants. He jumps into the void.

For some reason, this does not give him a single gram of liberation. Limbo distorts his memories beyond recognition, but one thing it conveys is true: he is absolutely alone. And he's not sure if he can handle it. 

He stands in the middle of Spawn's reflection, staring at the floor. Here, surrounded by bugs and glitches, he makes a promise to himself. And then they make him come back.

*

"You will become my medium," the deity states, and he never says no.

A new cycle begins to move, and they all stand in a circle — just a couple of unexpected faces, but he knows them all— and this time Ash opens the season, and almost everyone immediately runs away.

He turns to Planet and remembers his last death. He smiles at him.

— Do you want to join the team?

Planet agrees.

*

Wormhole cracks run into his skin, with deep snow-white scars resembling lightning marks. They bring excruciating pain and especially aches on rainy days. He quickly learns to live with it.

Sometimes he sees Parrot. From afar, casually, in rare skirmishes that he hadn't planned, on spawn. They don't talk. 

He doesn't remember the days or even weeks when his body is taken away by someone else. He often wakes up in the middle of nowhere, with absolutely nothing. A little less often, he finds himself on spawn. 

After regaining consciousness, he returns home and continues to grind. He does not try to hurry, leisurely going through each activity. Sometimes it seems like he enjoys it.

And then Parrot asks him to meet in a place that shouldn't exist. He doesn't dare say no.

*

M.O.B. is still as destroyed as the day they released hundreds of withers to the server. There is nothing left alive, only memories and ruins.

He asks where Parrot got this world from. He replies that it has never been destroyed. They stand at the very top of the tower, looking at the dead world below them, over which, despite everything, the sun is still rising.

— So what now? 

He knows what's going to happen. 

— If you look way out there, way out into the horizon... That is our impact, Spoke. – instead of answering, Parrot says, and he squints. Somewhere out there, in the distance, the ruined landscape is replaced by ordinary views. Blooming hills, murmuring rivers, noisy trees, swollen oceans. Nature, untouched by violence and destruction.

— So where are you going from here? – he asks, feeling how dry his mouth is. 

— I don't know, Spoke. — Parrot shrugs his shoulders and spreads his wings. There was a complicated expression on his face. — Maybe one day i'll see you again. — He softly says his goodbye.

The fucking rain still doesn't stop. It pours and pours, sudden and strong, and Spoke quickly gets soaked through — hair, t-shirt, bandana. Even if he is crying, it is not noticeable. He feels completely powerless. It's a new feeling.

Thunder rumbles. He turns around his wet and very stupid face. There is no one else with him.

Headcanons for when 2012 April gets her period bc I'm in menstrual hell rn:

The first time it happened at the lair, everyone thought she was dying.

After April explained it to them, Donnie researched everything he could. He's got her cycle scheduled out on a little calendar so that he can prepare ahead of time. He's always got chocolate, tea bags, hot water bottles, and pain meds ready.

April's facial features become slightly more Kraang-ish during. Specifically her pupils get more slitted, and her skin gets a slight veiny texture.

Mikey and Donnie pamper her so much. Mikey always offers to cook (whether or not she accepts he still asks), and is the first to grab the (not sentient) ice cream from the fridge. They also both keep her company the most, and try to distract her from the pain.

As much as April appreciates Mikey and Don's fussing over her well-being, sometimes they're a bit much and it overwhelms her. Usually when this happens she gets snappish at them so they leave her alone. She apologizes afterwards usually whenever she's feeling better though. Over time they learn to communicate better.

They all give her her back massages, but she prefers when Raph does it because he's the strongest and therefore can dig into her back muscles the hardest. He's afraid he's hurting her at first but she just falls asleep from how soothing it is.

Mikey thought that all humans got periods, and when he found out that only afab people do, he cursed the universe for being sexist.

Casey was a punk about it at first ("iT's jUsT cRaMpS.") but then April punched him in the gut and told him to imagine that but constantly. (He left chocolate pudding at her door later as an apology) He was better after that but still gets wary around her cause he doesn't want to get on her bad side.

Casey honestly becomes the biggest ally despite being slightly scared of April's mood swings. He's the one who gets hygiene products for the lair, and helps keep the comfort food stocked since he can go into grocery stores.

Splinter teaches her some mantras for easing the pain, and also makes her tea.

April gets like the worst cramps ever and is definitely a period puker, and it's not fun for anyone. Usually happens on day one, sometimes day 2. The pain is usually so bad that she has to just lay down and do nothing for days (Which she gets pouty about because she's April and doesn't like "feeling lazy").

The guys got her a giant, yellow rabbit plushie that Mikey named Kevin, and he's specifically for period week.

If April's not at the lair when she's on her period, Donnie takes a little care package to her apartment.

She's most likely to fall asleep leaning on Donnie or Leo. Whenever it happens they treat it like when a cat chooses you as it's perch. AKA they're stuck there for eternity or until she wakes up.

Edit: The amazing @ohnoshespostingthis made some adorable art for these here!

[x--ghost--x]

can you do a leo x fem ninja reader here the story the reader in a clan called otsutsuki clan (from naruto) that are unquestionably strongest clan and ally of the hamato clan the reader was told by her ancestors to find someone named hamato yoshi and help him stop the foot clan getting the mystic metal and created the shredder when the reader spotted the yokai turtles fighting the foot clan they decided to help them

Ooo that's really cool idea! And I haven't watched Naruto yet but I did a little research on it, I hope that's okay!

Sorry for any mistakes!

━═━═━═━═━

Ally

• when your clan members find out about an organization trying to recreate Shredder by collecting his armor they were pretty on edge

• yeah, Otsutsuki clan was the strongest clan but the demon wasn't something even they could look down on

• the clan responsible for keeping Shredder from destroying the world was Hamato clan, they had the most backstory with the Foot clan who is now trying to bring back Shredder, but after the disappearance of the last of the members - Hamato Yoshi - the Foot clan's activity increased

• however, some time ago, your ancestors gained an information that Hamato Yoshi is still alive, and because your clan is an ally to them they opted to take action

• so they decided that you were the best fit to travel all the way to New York, find him and help him stop the Foot clan

"Prepare yourself, you're going to New York tomorrow. Your goal is to find Hamato Yoshi and prevent Foot clan from ressurecting the Shredder."

'...okay?'

• it was pretty sudden, you need to admit, but the thought of going somewhere far on a mission was exciting

• your ancestors belived you're capable of doing it alone so you're not going to let them down

• unfortunately for you, finding one member of Hamato clan in a big city was more difficult than you thought

• finding four at the same time was way easier

Standing on the edge of a building, looking at the starless sky, you sighted deeply. Vivid lights illuminating form the city streets painted your face in various colors as you thought about your next course of action. New York was big but you were determined. And 'were' is a key world there. You were searching for far to long without any good results, which made you frustrated.

The sound of busy streets filled your ears making you lower your eyes scanning the cars and people below you. You knew you're not able to enjoy the same life as they have - you simply didn't belong there. Especially with the horns poking out of your head. You didn't really mind though, even if you were a little curious.

The world didn't let you think for to long, however, when a loud bang made you look at the dark alley on the other side of the building. Swiftly jumping across the roof you peaked over the edge searching for the source of the noise. There hidden in the shadows stood several dark clothed figures, who appeared to have been dressed like ninja, with visible red footprints on their masks.

"Huh, so this is the Foot clan?" you murmured rising an eyebrow.

Your attention hadn't stayed on them for to long when four new silhouettes jumped from the previously broken window. Honestly, you were pretty surprised seeing four humanoid turtles wielding traditional Japanese weapons fighting with what happened to be also your enemies. What was even more shocking was one of them suddenly just teleporting behind the ninjas and slashing them with his sword, after which they tore apart like peace of paper.

'What are kappas doing here?' you started to wonder. Were yokai supposed to be in New York? Did your ancestors said anything about it before?

"Leo! Don't just jump in like that!" shouted the biggest one of them with spiky shell and red bandana.

"Don't you worry, hermano! I got this." the other answered him standing proudly, one hand holding his sword over his shoulder and the other resting on his hip.

Seconds later at least ten more ninjas appeared.

You rolled your eyes muttering about turtle's over-confidence.

"How much more of them are here?" asked the spotted turtle with orange bandana tied on his head. "I'm starting to get tired, man!"

"Our chances of winning are rapidly decreasing. At this rate, they will overpower us in approximately five minutes and twenty-"

"Oh, shut it, Donnie." Leo, as the other turtle referred to him before, harshly cut of the purple masked reptile wearing mismatched goggles. "Have more faith in us! Besides, you guys have me."

The rest groaned (you included).

The Foot clan didn't let them talk any longer, the ninjas jumping at them from every side. It seemed like their number was only getting bigger and bigger no matter how many of them the turtles already defeated. You could see them struggling with dodging their enemies attacks, not having the time to strike themselves.

You really should be looking for Hamato Yoshi. But you also couldn't just leave like that. And besides, maybe they knew something about his whereabouts?

Gracefully jumping down the fire escape attached to the side of the building you made your way to the bottom, white noble's finery with magatama design you wore swaying behind you. Landing on the head of one of the ninjas you pinned the paper creation to the ground swiftly tearing it apart.

"Woah!" the smallest turtle jumped back surprised at your appearance.

With a few quick movements, the next ninjas lost their heads, turning into thin sheets that floated in the air for a moment and fell to the ground. Your movements were agile and precise, easily breaking through layers of enemies, leaving them no time to react. Soon after, only the four reptiles were left standing before you, stunned.

The red-eared slider, you assumed by the crescent-like stripes over his eyes and yellow stripes on his upper arms and thighs, stepped forward.

"Wow." he breathed, then rised his voice realizing you may not have heard him. "That was, just- wow."

You furrowed your eyebrowe, which he probably took as a bad sign.

"I mean- you were, like, super cool, and-" Leo started tripping on his words.

The turtles behind him sheard a look.

"What my brother is tryin' to say," the one with red bandana approached you, placing his hand on the shorter reptile's shoulder. "we are grateful for your help!"

"You're welcome." you replied swiping the imaginary dust off of yourself.

He thought you were cool? You knew you are skilled, you trained for most of your life, your clan acknowledgwd your strength by sending you on this solo mission. You heard many things about yourself, but cool?

It left a weird warm feeling in you...

"Anyway, I'm Raph! And this is Leo, Donnie and Mikey." Raph said pointing he said pointing on the blue, purple and orange masked turtle in order.

"I'm y/n of the Otsutsuki clan."you straightened your posture, giving them a short nodd. " What are kappas doing in New York?"

"Kappas?" questioned Mikey tilting his head to the side.

The softshell turtle stepped ahead to stand beside him.

"Kappas, my dear brother, are a reptiloid kami with similarities to yōkai found in traditional Japanese folklore. They tend to look like turtles." he then turned his head toward you. "But, no, we are not kappas. We are actually mutants."

'Mutants?'

Suddenly blue bandana covered head butted itself into your view. You tensed at the proximity, sly smirk appearing on the reptile's face.

"And answering to your question, we just were being awesome. Or, well, at least I know I was being awesome. Still am." Leo tried to lean by his hand beside you but failed miserably by missing the brick wall and almost falling on his face.

Raph, who stood behind him, facepalmed.

"Please, don't listen to my moron twin." Donnie rolled his eyes.

The turtle yelled something about not being a moron but you only shook your head. Deciding it's the best time to ask about the Hamato clan member, you spoke up again.

"Do any of you know someone named Hamato Yoshi?" you glanced at their faces, they seemed shocked for some reason.

When you were about to explain your situation, Leo answered excited.

It's your lucky day, amigo! I just know exactly where he is now!" not giving you the time to answer, the turtle wrapped his arm around yours and tugged you further into the alley, where the only noticeable thing was a sewer manhole.

"Hey, wha-?!" your face started to feel hot for an unknown for you reason.

The rest of his brothers stood still looking as the red-eared slider lifted the metal hatch and literally threw you inside, jumping right after.

"Was it some kind of 'love at first sight' or something?"

"Maybe. And Nardo is gonna make a total fool out of himself before her while trying to impress her."

"Yeah, probably."

━═━═━═━═━

Sorry it took so long 😭

Literally got like 2 tests and 2 projects the first two days after the break and I needed to rush some things (one day I'm gonna die bc of school)

Hope you liked that! ^^

[cindysnuts]

FATES NOHRIAN ROYALS HEADCANONS IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023 BECAUSE I HAVE BRAINWORMS RN OKAY LETS GO:

Nohr:

Xander- Xander handpicked both of his retainers because he thinks they’re beautiful (canon btw. Okay well it is for peri but cmon). He of course could only marry a woman, and one of high standing at that, because of his duties as crown Prince, but he spends a suspicious amount of time with his retainer, taking “dance lessons.” Closeted bisexual. Camilla asked and knows and Leo surmised it. It is a secret to everyone else, including Elise and even Corrin (though only for a matter of time for them), as it is a scandal that could rock the nation.

Camilla~ Camilla is a lesbian. She ALSO picked out her retainers because she loves them and wants to dominate them. Well. Selena at least. She is a brat in need of taming frfr. Beruka is just a feral cat she’s trying to show love to. Technically Camilla is bisexual but she just loves women so much and only has female partners rn anyway so. Everyone knows though, she hardly makes a secret of it, much to Selena’s embarrassment. Technically an open secret due to Nohrian high society’s general intolerance, but it’s only spoken of in whispers, since no one wants to be on the bad side of the wyvern riding princess.

Leo- oh boy. This guy. The complexes… SO. Leo is very sharp. He’s very private, but very observant, and analytical. Being away from the spotlight of being the crown prince, he was able to privately deduce that he was gay very early on. Right? So like that’s it that’s the answer. So why doesn’t it feel quite right? And why doesn’t he fit his role exactly??? Must be something about being the second prince, yeah that’s it. Right? I mean he’s trying to be the man he has to be. I mean it’s weird being called a prince?? But that’s not right I mean he WANTS to be a royal so. Huh. Weird anyways he NEVER looks at the box in his mind marked “Gender” that’s rattling and SNAPPING at its lock and chain. Leo is the biggest egg this side of the bottomless canyon and everyone around him with even a hint of what trans people are know he’s a girl including all of his loved ones who already accept her for who she is. As soon as she realizes it. Camilla keeps trying to get Leo to wear dresses (while she wears the sharpest suits of all time, of course) but he just gets really weird and sweaty everytime she suggests it and always chickens out. Odin and Niles are NOT helping they’re both too insane to help (affectionate). Elise has the coming out party PLANNED on LOCK it’s in the CHAMBER ready to fire the second she gets the message. They’re all just lovingly waiting for her to crack.

Elise- Elise is ultimately straight. All of her closest, most meaningful relationships throughout her life are with women, but that’s a love that doesn’t run romantic, really. She is the STAUNCHEST ally tho!!! She isn’t really privy to many of the family secrets, not for a while at least, and is a bit oblivious when she’s younger, but she gets it eventually! And she loves her family so much you guys. She wants to throw them ALL huge coming out worries (even if they have to be private) no matter how they may object. Ultimately though, she loves boys! All kinds really. Later in life she even falls in love with a commoner boy, and they have a beautiful life together! The most normal and well adjusted of the Nohrian siblings, funnily enough, since she has the least pressure to succeed and has plenty of examples to lead from.

That’s it for now, I may do Hoshido + Corrin/ Azura or the Nohrian retainers later on, if there’s demand lol.

I absolutely do not care that I’ve already posted Lab Rats HCs today and that it was stupidly long, I’m posting again and as stated previously you all have to deal with it.

-Chase actually loves cats, he wants a pet cat but he can’t have one because of his allergies. Super sneezes are no joke. Super sneeze = super mucus.

-Kaz wants a pet dog but all the team have convinced him not to get one because of multiple reasons. (They live in a penthouse, Chase is horrendously allergic, Bree doesn’t want dog fur or slobber on her clothes, Douglas will implant bionics in it, none of them are responsible enough to take care of a living animal. They can barley take care of themselves)

-Kaz really want to wake Chase up with a cup of coffee one day but Chase is always awake before him

-Chase wakes up at 5AM every day. 6AM if he wants to sleep in. He has a very strict routine that he follows every day and will get very upset if something is disrupted.

-Contrary to popular belief, Chase actually enjoys pranking people. People assume he’s going to be a fun killer and tell people not to prank each other but he’s the master of pranks in their new home. He learned everything he knows from Adam and Mr Davenport.

-Chase knew Kaz and Oliver would be pulling pranks on Halloween so he set up this elaborate prank involving lots of hyper realistic holograms. He set it so that Kaz or Oliver would see fake spider eggs and mess with them. The mechanism would start up the holograms and make it look like the whole place was starting to become swarmed with spiders. He knows Kaz and Oliver are both terrified of spiders. They practically sh!it themselves. The girls found it hilarious.

-Chase loves talking to Skylar about her home planet. Chase loves anything to do with space, it’s one of his special interests. Skylar also loves talking about Caldera so it’s a win-win. Chase gets all giddy and excited whenever they talk about space.

-Douglas knows that Skylar+Bree and Kaz+Chase are dating. Nobody has told him but he knows. Douglas knows everything. He’s very observant.

-This hc is based on a fic I recently read called (correct me if I’m wrong) Sultan of Stupid. Basically Oliver is totally oblivious and doesn’t know that Chase and Kaz are dating. He also doesn’t realise Bree and Skylar are together until Skylar said ‘please stop crushing on me, I’m too lesbian to go out with you’ which makes Oliver stop in his tracks. Why are all his teammates gay?

-Following that one up, Oliver is the only straight one in the team. He’s the biggest ally (other than Tasha) you will ever meet. He gets more excited about pride than the actual LGBTQ+ team members get.

-Adding to that as well, ever since Leo and Chase came out (yes, they came out together, they planned it all out so it would be perfect like the autistic people they are) Tasha has been one of those overly supportive mums who buys anything with a rainbow on it and gives it to them saying ‘look at this really cute *insert whatever object* I found at the store!’ and they all love her for it.

-Adam came out just after Leo and Chase, he didn’t realise coming out was something he was supposed to do. Also he was fed up of being asked by people which girl he was taking to prom because he wanted to take a boy to prom. Not a girl.

-Bree never came out. She didn’t have to. Nor did she want to. She didn’t think it was necessary to tell people her identity. She believes people shouldn’t have to come out, that people should just love who they want without being pressured to slap a label on it and tell people. She announced she was dating Skylar but that was it.

-Kaz is awesome at dealing with Chase’s dysphoria. Oliver is trans too, so he has years of experience dealing with horribly dysphoric trans boys. However a bionic one is a bit different to a human one. Because Chase had had top surgery when he was 13. Davenport just had the technology to do that without damaging his growth (don’t ask me how, I’m not too sure either. Just go with it) and Chase had also been on hormones since he was 15. His bionic infrastructure meant that it was harder for his body to absorb testosterone since it had been wired to that of a female. Their bionics are designed to reject any foreign substances, so he’s not as masculine as he wants to be. Kaz is always assuring him that there isn’t a certain way to be a man and he is a man, with or without hormones

-people forget that Kaz and Oliver are literally doctors. I hc them to be the medics of the team. They also mother everyone a lot. Even with a tiny paper cut they will insist you have some attention to it.

-Chase swears the most out of everyone. Mr Davenport grew tired of ‘language-ing’ him and just gives him disappointed looks every time Chase cusses. It’s usually directed at stubborn inventions that won’t do what he wants them to do. He also swears as filler words if he’s with his friends. He’s very professional when he needs to be.

-Kaz is always finding excuses to touch Chase. ‘Oh I was just wiping dirt off your arm’ ‘you had something in your hair’ ‘your hands looked cold’ etc

-although Kaz is shorter than Chase, he’s more buff, so when Chase wears Kaz’s clothes he looks hilarious because they’re around two to three sizes too big.

-if you’ve ever watched Heartstopper you’ll know what scene I’m on about. The scene where Charlie opens up his closet and there’s about 50 pairs of Converse in there. That’s what I imagine Chase’s collection of high tops to look like.

-Chase wears high tops because they help with his hypermobility in his ankles. I hc all the Davenport siblings to have hypermobility bc of how they were made. It’s amazing they don’t have more health issues considering they were made in a lab (I assume, since there’s no talk of their mother) and implanted with bionics at a very young age. You’re literally putting robot components into a human, something is bound to go wrong somewhere.

Another ramble over. I hope anyone who ends up reading this enjoys my stupidly long word vomit.

[our-happygirl500-fan]

Before Rise got cancelled the original plan for the show was going to reveal that the turtles had two more siblings (possibly Venus & Jennika?) & Splinter was only able to rescue four of them. The reveal was supposed to happen towards the end of season two with the family then each splitting up to go look for them, two turtles going with Draxum & two turtles going with Splinter to look for their missing siblings.

I actually have a theory that the two groups were supposed to be Raph & Donnie as one group (possibly going with Splinter) while Leo & Mikey would be another group (possibly going with Draxum).

This theory is based on the fact that the mutation chamber orders put Donnie & Raph on one side with one of the missing siblings mutation chamber & put Leo & Mikey on the other side with the other missing sibling’s mutation chamber.

But the reason why I think Donnie & Raph would go with Splinter while Leo & Mikey would go with Draxum would be that story telling wise it makes for the possibility of what I think would be really interesting dynamics & development particularly in regards to a Leo & Draxum dynamic.

Mikey basically carried Draxum’s redemption on his back so if half the turtles are going with Splinter & the other half is going with Draxum it would make sense to assume that Mikey’s team would be the one that went with Draxum & it also opens up the interesting possibility of Draxum & Leo’s dynamic actually getting some development.

Though Mikey is the one closest with Draxum, Draxum has had small moments with both Raph & Donnie. Raph helped Mikey with Draxum’s redemption in Repairin’ the Baron & Donnie was shown to have Draxum’s phone number & even called him for mystic advice in Air Turtle but Leo never really had a moment like this with Draxum, sure Leo seems to have accepted Draxum as an ally of his family but the biggest one on one moment they ever had was...

So a Trio of Mikey, Draxum & Leo is a really interesting possibility because you’ve got Mikey who is the turtle that trusts Draxum the most & Leo who is the turtle who has reason to trust Draxum the least.

The dynamic is especially interesting when you consider a post Movie Leo who is taking his new role as leader more seriously, it’s possible that he would want to be the one to go with Draxum & Mikey when the family split up so that he can keep an eye on Draxum & protect Mikey.

FLUX An Off World Series VOL. 2

Old Enemies New Friends

Part 6

Leonardo

The biggest and hardest thing we will ever do in this life is let go. It’s not something any of us are willing to do easily and for so many various reasons. Letting go? It hurts. Even if what we are holding onto hurts us, we just grip it that much tighter. Letting go means facing the empty void of loss and loss leads to…grief. That one little word is so GIANT! Just five letters. Five AGONIZING letters. Grief affects us all at one point or another, through many different ways. Letting go is just one. And boy is it a big one. Even when you know that what you’re letting go of will eventually return, grief still finds a way to bloom. 

Leo stared at Star, his heart ripping to shreds with worry and sorrow. He didn’t want to send her to Orion 8 without him, but here they were. Him staying and her leaving. Leaving. It took all he had to not tell her to stop. That he was coming with her. Regardless of what was happening with The Shredder. The only thing keeping him calm was knowing that she’d be back eventually and that Raph and Donnie would keep her safe. He trusted them implicitly. 

On the entirely other hand, he was a little excited to see how Star would handle leading. The mission, after all, was a big one! The biggest she had yet to face. Leo smirked, his eyes twinkling as Star opened the portal. He also knew deep down that she was eager to stretch her legs a bit. She had only been out of the lair a handful of times since she arrived. 

Leo fidgeted a bit, his chest tight as he watched Karai hand a necklace to Star. He was still a bit apprehensive about Karai, but so far she seemed to be on their side. The inside information she had on The Foot and The Shredder was invaluable. He just hoped she remained an ally. As Karai stepped back, his eyes locked with Star for a second and his whole world seemed to stop. Was he really about to watch her walk away? He pressed his lips together, his hands slightly trembling. 

“Be safe guys!” He managed to shout. His eyes wandered over Star, then to Raph and finally Donnie. Star half turned, giving him a half wave, her green eyes shining. 

“Bye guys!” Star shouted, her reddish brown ears twitching, then turned, stepping through the portal. Raph quickly saluted Leo, then followed directly behind Star. 

Then out of nowhere, as Leo was slowly starting to relax, like an orange and green blur, Mikey sprinted from the kitchen, zipping in between Master Splinter and Casey, barely skirting Karai, and knocking into Donnie as he dived straight for the portal. All Leo could do was watch as Mikey’s form dissolved into the magnetic doorway, his muscles tense, just on the edge of movement. Rage flickered in his eyes as his mind slowly processed what just happened. 

What had he just witnessed? Nah, fuck that! What just fucking…. “Would someone mind telling me why Donnie is standing here instead of Michelangelo?” Leo’s eyes narrowed, his breathing coming in short bursts as he tried to remain calm. Did Star, Raph and Mikey just defy his direct orders? His teeth gnashed together, his hands balling into fists. 

Donnie held his hands up, his amber eyes locked on his brother. “Hold on, Leo. It’s not what you’re thinking.” He knew Leo had a temper hidden deep underneath his cool exterior and that he needed to explain quickly to keep it from exploding. He took a timid step towards Leo. “We didn’t-”

“We?” Leo’s eyes flashed as the portal brightened, then closed. 

Donnie cleared his throat, looking at the empty space next to him, then back to Leo.  “Yes. We.” Casey and Karai backed away slowly, their eyes darting between the two brothers. “Believe me, Leo, we didn’t want to go behind your back, but you were so dead set on sending me,” he placed his hands on his upper plastron, “to Orion 8, instead of Mikey.”

Leo angled his head, his chin taunt. “And for good reason!” Leo shouted. “We know how to deal with our technology! Here. On. Earth. Orion 8,” he pointed to where the portal had been merely seconds ago, “is a whole other ballpark!” 

“Exactly!” Donnie spread his hands out in front of him. “I agree with you, Leo! Which is why Star’s first move is to find Kyle and Celeste before they look for Shelly and Mi!” Donnie’s heart skipped a beat as his girlfriend’s name slid past his lips. Lord knows he wanted to go, but he knew that Leo would need him. “They both know more about Orion 8 than I could ever possibly know!” Leo clenched and unclenched his teeth, working his jaw muscles. “I know for a fact that you guys,” Donnie’s eyes darted over Casey and Karai, “are going to need me here. Especially if the Kraang are back! I know more about their tech than any of you do.” 

With a few more puffs, Leo slowly blinked, his hands slightly uncurling. Yet again, his leadership had been questioned and undermined. He sighed. “I thought that sending you would be a good idea. I didn’t want Star and Raph to run into a situation where they may need you.” He growled, reluctant to admit that now that he thought about it, what Donnie said made sense. “Honestly, I didn’t even think about Kyle and Celeste.” He conceded. 

Donnie softly padded up to Leo, placing his hands on his shoulders. “It’s ok, bro. With everything that’s happened, it’s easy to forget little details.”

“Do me a favor though?” Leo said, his tone turning serious. 

“Yeah?”

“Don’t ever do that again.” Leo smirked. 

Donnie nodded. “You got it.” They pulled each other in for a quick hug, patting each other's shells. 

Shoving what happened on the back burner, Leo clapped his hands. “Ok! Let’s get down to business!” His ocean blue eyes focused on Casey. “Casey, is there any way you can find out where The Shredder was buried? Maybe we can get there before Jeng does.”

Casey nodded. “Yeah, but it won’t be easy. After you guys killed him, an unknown next of kin claimed the body.”

“Jeng would have been sixteen.” Master Splinter whispered. “He wouldn’t have been able to sign for his father’s body. It must have been his mother.”

“Who the hell is his mother?” Karai spat, her blue eyes squinting. 

Leo gently picked up the file on Jeng, his graceful fingers flipping through the contents. When he was half way through, his blue gaze lifted, locking on Casey. “It says here that Jeng has an aunt and that Jeng’s mother died in a fire. Maybe the aunt is the one who signed for his body?”

“Hmmm…let me see that.” Casey took the file from Leo. “Huh.” He huffed. “You’re right. How did I miss that?” He scratched the right side of his head. “I can see if NYPD has anything on her. See if I can at least get an address.”

“Sounds good, Casey.” Leo said. “While you do that, we’ll head out. See if we can find any trace of the Kraang or the Foot.”

“I can take you and Donnie to the last place I saw them.” Karai said. “They may have left some clues behind.”

“That sounds like a good start.” Donnie said, adjusting the strap across his plastron. 

Leo nodded. “Text me the second you get that address, Casey. If Jeng’s aunt had The Shredder buried, she might still have the documents hidden somewhere in her home.”

“Will do!” Casey nodded slightly, then turned to leave. 

“Be safe, my son!” Master Splinter said softly, his right hand raising slightly. 

Casey smirked, turning slightly just before he exited the lair. “Always am! See ya!”

It was like old times. Only it wasn’t. Three members of his family were missing. Three vital members. He tried very hard to keep his head in the game, but all he could think about was the giant hole in his heart. On some level he knew they weren’t really gone. That she wasn’t gone.  He stood on top of an eighteen story apartment building, his heart beat slow, sluggish, as he began to regret his decision. 

For almost thirty years he led his team. His brothers. Never doubting his decisions. Never feeling like what he did was a mistake. He made calculating choices, putting them into action, then moving on to the next. Now his mind and heart lay broken in two. Never before had emotion played so heavy a role in what he did. Not until she stepped through their door, her beautiful green eyes capturing his soul. 

“Leo?” Donnie whispered, approaching his big brother from behind. 

Leo turned slightly, his chest heaving as he let out a long sigh. “Yeah?”

“We’ve been out here all night and we’ve seen nothing. Maybe The Foot aren’t going to come back to this location?” 

“Is Karai still at her post?” 

Donnie nodded. “Yes.”

Leo shook his head. “I don’t get it. Before, The Foot almost always came back.”

“I don’t think we’re dealing with the same Foot anymore, Leo. A lot has changed. Maybe their habits have too.”

“A lot has changed. You’re definitely right about that.” Leo’s gaze lifted to the night sky, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Do you think they’re gonna be ok, Donnie?”

Donnie looked down at his wrist band, noting that Raph, Mikey and Star’s vital signs were stable, then he looked up, his gaze locking on the brightest star. “I know they are.”

Lab Rats' Headcanons

(Mostly just neurodivergence & sexuality/gender headcanons.)

Chase

THIS SUPERHUMAN IS TRANSGENDER & AUTISTIC. someone get this boy some sound-canceling headphones. his transness is a huge source of insecurity for him, & adam's constant teasing does NOT help.

he is also a bisexual disaster(TM).

Bonus! Spike

mostly i consider spike to be like a fragment in a DID system, or a more realistic version of AI--he has a very specific purpose & behavior parameters & beyond that, he doesnt really. think? especially since he only comes out once in a blue moon.

the commando app triggers differently for everyone. chase's trigger is his social anxiety & general insecurity, not fear, thus why spike never activates when he's in actual danger.

ace or demi spike is an interesting concept. he's only attracted to dainty feminine people or muscle-bound gym rats, no in-between.

i know people love spike angst but i think he's actually pretty happy with his life. he comes out, fucks shit up, then sleeps for another year. what more could a guy want?

Bree

she is so. lesbian with comphet. and also adhd (hyperactive-type).

transfem bree is also very compelling (it explains why she's so desperate to separate herself from her brothers & fit in w girls her age). i think bree could've had a nice arc realizing that womanhood isn't defined by the clothes you wear or how you act, you're a woman regardless of all those things. unfortunately disney is full of misogynistic cowards 😔

Adam

Adam 🤝 Bree -> comphet. Adam is soooo aroace to me. he pretends to be attracted to women because he knows that's what's expected of him (& also it's funny/allows him to make fun of Chase more).

he is cisgender unfortunately 😔 but the biggest trans ally ever (effects of having so many trans family members)! it takes him like. a single day to get used to the idea of nonbinary people. a little longer to get used to they/them pronouns but he's TRYING.

he teases Chase for being feminine but in a weird way it's supposed to be gender-affirming? i mean, you don't make fun of girls for being girly, that'd be stupid (<- his thoughts, not mine lmao).

he has autism AND adhd (combined-type). double whammy. his sensory issues & rsd combine to make him kinda irritable/sensitive. he's social but crowds make him nervous, especially from season 3 onward. his special interest/hyperfixation is weird collectible items (an interest he & bree kinda share).

Leo

nonbinary. chill with any pronouns but most people default to he/him. doesn't like dresses but does wear skirts on occasion.

pansexual or unlabeled. or possibly aspec? i don't know and neither does he, honestly. he just got here.

soooo adhd it's unreal. combined-type like adam. finally started taking his meds around season 3.

Donald

AUTISTIC. it runs in the family.

straight trans guy. kinda homophobic ngl.

Douglas

also trans (it runs in the family). i fully accept the headcanon that he's adam, bree, & chase's egg donor.

HEAR ME OUT. schizophrenic douglas? schizophrenia is often misdiagnosed with things like autism or npd, since they have a lot of overlap (eccentric ways of thinking, paranoia & trust issues can at times look like grandiosity, etc.). he probably made his own medication since he didn't like the ones his therapist put him on.

sooo bisexual disaster that's where chase gets it from <3

Marcus

not trans not cisgender but a secret third thing <3

(no seriously. technically he's cis because he was designed to be a guy & he has no desire to be a woman. technically he's trans because robots have no assigned gender & he's a guy. technically he's cis because robots have no assigned gender & he doesn't really view himself as having a gender. technically he's trans because he was designed to be a guy but he wouldnt really mind being a woman. technically--)

i also like the idea of transfem marcus? no real reason it just appeals to me. bree would be so excited to have a sister <3

ace. not aro but he views romance very very differently from most people. he'd only date someone who's really interesting to him. he gets his taste in romantic partner from douglas lmao.

SOOOO NPD & BPD. the constant lying. belief that he's better than everyone else but Not Really. mood swings. tunnel vision. dramatics. black & white thinking. feelings of emptiness. daddy issues. it's all there baby. he also has anxiety but don't bother telling him he'll just deny it lmao.

marcus knows a fair bit of ASL. he became aware of it because someone in drama club is Deaf; he likes how expressionate and to the point the language is.

marcus was originally one of the robots that the davenport brothers built to handle bionics. it's possible that donald helped build him at one point.

when they were building him, douglas went behind donald's back & equipped marcus with all sorts of things, such as a very primitive version of the triton app, mostly serving as a communication channel. that's why his eyes glow green.

(based off of this post) marcus also has a commando app named mike. mike's trigger is marcus' anxiety about not being "human enough", thus why he's just a Normal Guy.

Daniel(le)

transfem, obviously. major tomboy. actually 15 but looks younger due to the puberty blockers she's on. (her being thirteen fucks up the timeline in my head.)

she was adopted by a lesbian couple but they're. kinda neglectful. scratch that, really neglectful. thus how quick she was to accept douglas as her father.

bree is really excited to have a sister. she ends up mildly disappointed because she wanted to do things like go shopping & to the spa & talk about boys etc etc but danielle's not really into that stuff. luckily they can still bond over pranking adam & chase.

[demonsfate]

This is kind of a Hot Take, but I don't care about Miguel, and I don't get why people (mainly on the tek subreddit) are fascinated by the idea of Miguel showing up to beat Jin. I stumbled upon ANOTHER post about this yesterday and saw people saying that they would love to see Miguel face the "villain turned messiah", as opposed to the other characters that supported Jin. Which is funny, because I don't think Miguel would last a fight against Jin in his current canon state. Also, this is a result of the horrible writing on 6 so not addressing the whole thing with Miguel's sister is mainly on the writers. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fine if there's a character that is against Jin and still can't forgive him. Tek8 didn't do a good job on addressing the issues 6 left behind, (it was an "Okay" job tbh but anyway, I take it). Still can't help but think the "Miguel should come back to murder Jin now that he's happy" crowd is mostly made of Anti-Jin than Miguel stans

I'm always conflicted with Miguel lmao. The thing is... I do like his design a lot. In fact, outta all the Tek6 characters, he may have the best design. He's the one that I could see being in like the older games (Tek4 or older) than I did the other Tek6 designs. And I seem to have a thing to hot - headed characters lol. But like... obvs the main problem with him is his story. LIKE. It's hard to like a character whose story is perhaps the biggest insult to your favorite character.

I'm sorry, but other than Tek6 itself, Miguel's existence is the biggest insult to Jin's character. Like the whole purpose of Jin's character is that he was indeed the first Good Mishima (sorry fans who actually fell for the "ALL Mishimas are bad!! That's the point!!" Y'all just fell for the lazy and obviously inaccurate excuse they made to justify his sudden turn in Tek6.) Kazuya was created to be the anti-Ryu, to be an unconventional protagonist for a fighting game 'cos that hadn't happened yet. But after Kazuya was done with being the protagonist, they went on to give us one that was actually good, therefore to be different from Kazuya. They even said the point of Jin was that he was supposed to be Kazuya's OPPOSITE. A possibility of what Kazuya might've been had he been raised by somebody who loved him. The Tekken 4 endings even hammered in the idea that Jin woiuld never be like Kazuya and Heihachi. Because every one of the trio's endings were all set during the same time (Jin's kidnapping in Hon-Maru), however - both Heihachi and Kazuya would've ended with them killing everyone. It's only Jin's ending where nobody dies. This is because Jin will always be a better person than them. Anyway, my point I'm gonna make is that Tekken 6 ruined everything that Jin was supposed to be. And Miguel is, perhaps, one of the biggest insults by being a victim of Jin. Jin lost his family to a monster, in Miguel's story - Jin is the monster who took Miguel's family member. That is fucked up, and no, it's not poetic nor clever. It just further destroys Jin's character and everything that was good about him. Jin should've NEVER hurt anyone else in the way he's been hurt.

And yeah... I mean, Jin has defeated Gods, he's defeated Heihachi and Kazuya (defeating Kazuya TWICE now). Miguel... hasn't really reached any of those feats, and plus... there's nothing really special about Miguel. (He's no Mishima, he's no Kazama, he's no devil gene carrier). And like, people are just talking as if Miguel would ONLY be going against Jin alone somehow???? As if... y'know, Lars, Lee, Alisa, Leo, Eddy, Xiaoyu, or many of the OTHER allies would let that shit fly. If some RANDOM GUY tried to kill Jin, they're not.... they're not gonna let it happen lmao, they're gonna stop it. Like sorry, but with Jin having accomplished these incredible feats, and has a ton of powerful friends, I don't see how Miguel can even be seen as much of a threat lol.

Imo, Tekken 8 did a horrific job at addressing Tekken 6. They didn't even inform the player as to why Jin did the War in the first place (which was for complicated reasons, but supposedly "good" ones). They just had characters say "YOU KILLED THOUSANDS" and then Jin says "shut up!!! I feel bad about it so that's something!!!" And like... who's to say that Miguel would even hate Jin if he were in Tekken 8? I mean, think about it. In Tekken 7, Lars wanted to kill Jin. He only stopped the Narrator from brutally killing Jin with a screwdriver simply because they needed Jin, and that's it. Yet suddenly in TK8, Lars is pals with Jin, and might as well be his cheerleader. The thought of what Jin did to Alisa was enough to bring her to tears in TK7, yet in TK8... she's also buddies with him, now holding his hands and everything. Eddy acted like he wanted to oppose Jin in his TK6 ending, yet... that was retconned to have him be mad at G-Corp / Kazuya instead??? Hell, Lee KILLS Jin in his TK6 and Tag 2 endings!!!! Although they've never canonically interacted prior, Lee still hated Jin in the noncanon moments. Like I get they needed Jin, but them being buddies with him was never properly addressed either and just came from nowhere. So, who's the say they wouldn't do something similar with Miguel???? Like, Eddy, he suddenly decides to drop the Revenge Plot off screen because uhhh revenge darkens the soul and isn't worth it man!!!!

Honestly yeah. Jin seems to have a lot of haters. I mean, Hell, it's hard to even look at Jin posts without seeing someone hating him or joking about him being a war criminal. It's been a while since I used Reddit last but MY GOD, before TK8 came out, there were a PLETHORA of people who were saying Kazuya should be the True Good Guy, that Kazuya is in the right, that Kazuya has never done anything wrong, that they hope Jin is revealed to be the main bad guy and is killed by Kazuya in the end. And like, this isn't an opinion of only a few ppl. After the demo came out, there was legit a post that said Kazuya is only a bad guy because he has the devil gene that Jin hates and that post had almost 100 upvotes!!!! With people agreeing!!! Completely ignoring EVERYTHING Kazuya has done. Like I made a post in my drafts but deleted it 'cos I thought it sounded too emotional, but it was me pretty much saying that people hate Jin for things they praise other characters for. Or the things they hate him for, they ignore the same in other characters. (Seriously, what makes Kazuya worthy of redemption but not Jin?) It really does feel like that. I understand some people may find Jin boring due to his stoicism, or may be critical of him due to his inconsistent writing (and character assassination) but I wish people would just be frank about that instead of hating him for every small thing. So yeah, I do believe that a lot of the "we wanna see Jin get beaten to death by Miguel" crowd really are just Jin haters. They get fucking wild at times. It's quite exhausting.

Okay so I just watched catching fire and mockingjay part one. And I have new ideas and context.

(I will have more once the books are in my hands)

First I’m going to rearrange some characters

Cassandra and Casey are going to be from district 7 now. I was already tying Cassandra to Johanna, but I think the overall district feel just suits them better. Them being from the lumber district and having skills with axs and spears.

This means I will have to rewrite Casey’s games but I wasn’t satisfied with his game any way.

But now you must be wondering who is beetee as he is necessary for both catching fire and mockingjay. This was a big reason that I switched the characters around. I wanted an older character. I was thinking either Baxter Stockman from 2003 or Leatherhead from 2003. He seems older in that show and he is raised by the Ute on to be highly intelligent. Im leaning towards leather head as I like him more. But they will be from district 3

Usagi, Tomoe ame and Katauichi are all still from district 10. I’ve been thinking about giving them another victor.

Raph and the others are all from district 12.

But the biggest change besides where casey and Cassandra come from is a leosagi moment.

Their first kiss isn’t in district 13 anymore.

The night before the quarter quell.

Raph still hasn’t decided on any Alliances. Leo knows he needs them and Usagi has already promised to watch Raph’s back. But Leo knows Raph doesn’t trust Usagi, and he needs to come up with a way to make sure Raph won’t kill Usagi on sight.

Big mama had given Leo, mona, and Raph matching trinkets. Maybe instead of being all gold as in the original story she got them matching bracelets in their colors (Leo blue, Raph red, Mona pink and Big Mama lavender)

Leo sneaks down to Usagi’s floor to see him the night before they go into the arena. While they were all hoping for a smooth alliance the district 10 teen was surprised to see Leo so late. They had hoped he was announcing that his brother had finally decided to have them as allies (it would make the plan so much smoother)

Leo asks to talk to Usagi alone. The two slip into Usagi’s room for some semblance of privacy but they both know that they are probably being watched in some way.

The both try to start taking at the same time. There is so much to say. Usagi let’s Leo go first though.

Leo gives Usagi his bracelet telling him to show it to Raph as soon as he can. Raph might not trust Usagi but he trust Leo’s judgment and this is Leo declaring Usagi part of the team. That Leo trust Usagi completely

After Leo is done attacking the bracelet at holding Usagi’s hand, Usagi frames his face with his hand and pulls him into a quick kiss which surprises Leo but he tearfully returns.

Usagi pulls away just enough that their lips aren’t touching, but their foreheads are pressed together. They are so close that it’s not possible to see their lips moving between them. Usagi whispers as lowly as he can keeping his hands framing Leo’s face trying to shield them both as best he can. He doesn’t want what he’s about to say to be found on any camera or recording device.

He holds Leo’s close and in between soft kisses he begs him to do what ever Katsuichi asks of him. Usagi promises to get Raph out alive but Leo has to listen to Katsuichi.

Leo agrees and Usagi kisses him hard one last time before they part ways.

Leo’s not sure if Usagi meant any of that affection romantically or if it was just the best way to disguise their conversation.

To Usagi it might have been the last and only time he ever got to kiss the man he loved while also pleading his safety.

They won’t see each other again until after the rescue.

Last change Donnie is still gale, but some one asked about the rescue mission. Donnie is 100% on that mission. He almost didn’t get clearance but he is able to bully his way into it.

These are all my updates so far. But I know have way more context. Let me know what you guys think.

The Enstars AIs playing Anime Girl High RPG

Natsume: Super. Suspect. Got a girlfriend in 5 minutes but only so she could act as his ally in these very trying times. Was, however, pretty nice to everyone in spite of his weird and manipulative motives.

Kanata: Sang to everyone, immediately everyone loved him. Gained +20 rep RIGHT AWAY just for being cute and sweet. Is universally treasured by the entire school. Made a best friend right away. Got asked to the dance.

Kohaku: Became the biggest bully of All Time. Took over the school as a tyrant via fear. Can now get whatever he wants on demand. I don’t know what to say about this, just look at the post before this one.

Madara: Immediately bullied by everyone for being too cheerful. He, however, did not waver and was ready to smile through all the bullying. He was so determined to be everyone’s Mama that he insisted on Mama-ing the bullies and after getting the shit beat outta him it worked and now he has a reputation around the school as the Ultimate Mama.

Ritsu: Thought that the ideal way to deal with accidentally enrolling into an All Girls School would be to just. Crossdress as a girl. And so he did, but was super embarrassed and miserable about it. Did this for one (1) day before escaping the school and never returning.

Leo: Immediately hit everyone with the most charisma the world has ever seen and they all wanted to be his best friend. He just had. So much confidence. I was very impressed and so was everyone else. He also kept posing dramatically for some reason.

Nagisa: Just. Treated it like he was in an isekai and it took me out.

Mika: Weirdly just happy to be there? Whenever he was questioned or told to leave he was like “But I wanna stay.” I don’t know why but?? He managed to make a good impression and convinced everyone he wasn’t creepy.

Tsukasa: WAS JUST. SO POLITE. A shining example of the perfect gentleman. Just apologized and left.

Lacrymosa (Leo x F!Corrin)

Hello, everyone! I'm a new fire emblem blog that will write/post whenever inspiration strikes! Requests are open, so if you want to help me out with a good prompt, feel free to hit me up!

The writing will be continued underneath the cut.

“Hiyaaaahh!”

Leo watched carefully as Corrin and Takumi went back and forth on the training grounds. Takumi would release an arrow as Corrin would roll to the side. Then, Corrin would charge as Takumi would backpedal.

It was a dangerous dance, but necessary for the war the two were taking part in. The quickest way to improve one’s skills was sparring with the best, and who was better than a war-hardened prince of Hoshido or a princess kidnapped and trained specifically to kill?

Though Takumi was certainly living up to his title, Corrin had become far too compassionate to ever truly embody hers. Or so Leo thought. He didn’t doubt her abilities, of course, but trained killers never tended to be charismatic enough to gather an entire army under their name without being branded as cult leaders.

No, the silver haired princess that was swiftly landing and dodging blows was far better than that.

Every once in a while, one of them would make a comment. With Takumi, it tended to be a taunt. Corrin, however, often chose to compliment her opponent’s stance or a particularly good dodge. Occasionally, she would offer whatever advice she deemed helpful at the time.

Leo had to give her credit for helping her allies so adamantly. He was also impressed with how watchful her eyes were. She was picking up on subtle things that he would only have been able to notice if he were paying close attention.

Takumi didn’t seem to be the biggest fan of her methods, though.

“Stop telling me what to do! I’ll still beat you whether you try to help me or not!”

“But Takumi, that’s not what this is about! We’re both trying to get better. I’m not the only soldier you’ll find on the battlefield! There are other kinds of generals with different fighting styles that-”

“You don’t get to be better than me! You…you’re still the reason Mother died!”

Caught off guard at that remark, Leo snapped his head to the archer prince. That was highly uncalled for, and in the midst of a training session of all places…! He had half a mind to open Brynhildr and join Corrin, but he silently resigned himself to simply observing, albeit much more attentively.

His eyes turned to the princess, scanning over her face. Shock and hurt were clearly present in her eyes as she processed his comment.

After the split second it took for his eyes to look at her, they shifted to Takumi. There was a twinge of uncertainty in the archer’s expression, like he didn’t mean to say such a thing. Instead of apologizing, though, Leo watched the second prince of Hoshido’s resolve harden.

“Takumi, what-?”

“The Yato blade should have been mine! I was the chosen one!” At this, he fired off another shot, though Corrin’s dodge was sloppy this time. “Not you! You’re just a nobody! Honestly, now that Azura can guide us, we don’t even need you!” Another shot. Corrin didn’t look like she had the heart to charge at him, again. The only emotions left on her face were confusion and regret.

Leo clenched his teeth.

“You aren’t worthy, and I’ll prove it, myself!” the archer shouted. He shot again, and the second prince of Nohr’s eyes went wide when Corrin didn’t make it out of the way in time.

The arrow of light pierced through her right shoulder, and the dragon princess dropped her sacred weapon with a cry.

Leo turned his head from Corrin’s hunched form to her sparring partner. His eyes widened in shock when he saw Takumi preparing to fire another arrow.

Corrin began to panic, too. “Agh! I-i yield, Takumi. It’s-”

“Shut up! You are nothing!” he yelled.

Leo took out his tome and clutched it in one of his hands. “Takumi, stand down! She’s had enough!”

But it seemed Takumi had eyes only for Corrin as he pulled the string of his bow taut once more. Unwavering, he aimed at the princess.

“I could kill you, you know! I will! I’ll take that sword for myself and send you back to that wretched kingdom from whence you came!”

Leo sprinted to Corrin, shouting at Takumi to stop and silently praying for mercy from whatever gods would listen. He had Brynhildr open and morphed the magic of the tome into a shield wall just as Takumi released his arrow.

The magic he commanded to guard them both shattered as the arrow collided with Leo’s barrier. He had made it to Corrin just in time, but it looked like his magic couldn’t maintain itself in a shape it wasn’t meant for. Enraged, the blond fired a warning shot toward the long-haired prince.

“Enough!” Leo barked. “Are you deaf as you are mad? She yielded!”

“She needs to understand-”

“She’s your ally, for gods’ sakes! What you just did was entirely uncalled for, not to mention dishonorable.”

“Nngh-!”

The Nohrian prince turned his attention to the wounded princess upon hearing her struggle. Shooting another glare at Takumi, he knelt down and looked closer at Corrin’s shoulder. Though the light remnants from the arrow had vanished, blood was starting to pool over her pierced armor. Her torn sash was beginning to stain red.

Leo was shocked as Corrin tried to get up, regardless. She’d struggle a moment before hissing in pain and lying back down. Upon her second attempt, he firmly rested one arm on her upper back to support her.

She always was stubborn.

“Easy. Don’t try to get up or force yourself. I’ll help you get to Elise, and she’ll take care of you.”

“...okay.”

At her consent, Leo gathered her in his arms and stood. He was careful to keep his arm off her wound, but he knew he’d have to hurry to his younger sister if he didn’t want Corrin to bleed out.

Takumi looked upon them both, that twinge of uncertainty in his eyes, again. Leo could see his regret, but knew from experience that it would take a battered pride to ever get him to apologize. Really, if anyone understood, it would be Leo.

He never took an eye off Hoshido’s youngest prince. After that bold display, Leo held no trust for him. His first priority was to protect Corrin right now, and he'd be damned if he didn’t draw a line. As far as he saw it, if Takumi couldn’t get over whatever inferiority complex his childhood laid upon him, then he wasn’t fit to fight as Corrin’s ally. Much less to train with her, if such assault could ever be labeled as “training.”

The feeling of an arm wrapping around his neck prompted him to start toward the healer’s tent. Corrin was going to be okay. She was still conscious in his arms, and though that should be reason enough for him to start calming down, Leo’s heart began to beat at a faster pace for an entirely different reason.

Damn it all.

"How are you holding up? He really let his emotions go, didn't he?" Leo started.

Corrin gave a weak smile that morphed into a grimace, "Well, other than the fact that my whole arm feels like it's burn-ngh!"

He watched as Corrin's breathing grew shallow. Her eyes were closed tight and her jaw was clenched shut.

"Don't. This isn't a joke," Leo frowned. He ever so slightly tightened his grip on her, subconsciously pulling Corrin closer to his chest. "Just focus on staying awake right now. Let me handle the rest."

He felt her vibrate as she hummed in reply. Most of her silver hair rested in the space between his arm and her back. Even so, there were a few stray locks that had come to rest on her wounded shoulder. Leo's eyes found themselves stuck on the strands where silver blended into scarlet, dyed by her own blood.

He needed to pick up the pace.

Leo's strides lengthened, and he turned his head upwards to focus on where he was going. He didn't have a moment to waste, rushing along as the sight of the woman in his arms haunted him.

Finally, they had reached the healers' tent. All that was left was to get Corrin to Elise.

"Don't worry, we're here now. You're going to be fine," Leo let out a shaky breath as he pushed through the tent flap. He let his eyes trail back down to Corrin's, only to find them shut.

"Corrin?"

Nothing.

"Oh gods, Corrin! Please, open your eyes!"

She didn't so much as flinch.

"Elise! Elise!"

At the sound of her brother's shouts, the petite blond came stumbling through the curtains that surrounded one of the cots in the tent.

"What is it, big broth-"

"It's Corrin. She was struck by an arrow from the Fujin Yumi, and it pierced her shoulder. I don't...she's lost a lot of blood."

Elise gasped, rushing back to grab her stave as Leo set the ruby-eyed woman on a nearby cot.

He watched as she came back, walked up to Corrin, and held her stave over her right shoulder. It began to glow, and Leo could only watch and hold his breath that Corrin would somehow make it out of this mess.

Leo didn't know what the army would do without her. She was the reason everyone was united in the first place. If this was how it ended...

He banished the thought from his mind, but before long, he began to realize how much he needed her. Leo didn't even want to think about a life without Corrin. The way she smiled and laughed with Elise, or her focused expressions when she would take the time to study with him. Her drive and motivation whenever she would train with Xander or fight on the battlefield; Leo didn't want to lose any of it.

Maybe that's why he was so scared. Maybe that's why, with each passing second that Corrin didn't stir, Nohr's second prince came closer to letting his emotions go. She wasn't his sister anymore, but he could still feel something there that hadn't quite resolved itself.

"Elise..."

"I know," the princess started, "I-I'm trying."

Leo shifted his gaze onto his youngest sister. Her face was determined. Strong. But silent tears began to drip from her eyes.

It wasn't working.

"Damn it all!"

Leo strode to the flap of the storage area in the tent, shoving it aside and snatching a spare stave. He turned briskly, heading back to the cot.

Once he got there, he held it over Corrin's shoulder, placing it next to Elise's stave. It began to glow as he activated it, and Leo could feel the magic whirring like a pulse.

"Wake up. You can rest and let us mend your wound, but then you're going to wake up."

He put all of his will toward bringing her back. Leo didn't hold back with his stave. He couldn't afford to lose a single moment, what with her life on the line.

He felt the thrum of magic quicken as the glow began to brighten. Elise's stave glowed brighter in turn, and together, finally together, they were able to watch as Corrin's wound seemingly patched itself.

"Please, Corrin."

Where there once was a hole pierced through skin, there was now flesh. The siblings didn't dare stop, though. Elise was starting to grow a little pale, and Leo was certain he looked just as flushed. Pushing magic this hard would take its toll on anyone.

It will all be worth it, Leo thought, if I can just see her smile again.

There, as he was fighting off the dizziness that came with overuse, Leo thought back on his time with Corrin. Even after learning they weren't related, the princess continued to be just as loving with her Nohrian family. At first, he didn't understand it. He wanted to hate her for taking away the love his siblings might otherwise have given to him.

But the emotion never came, and his love for her still stood. Stupidly, even though she wasn't his sister anymore, he couldn't bring himself to feel any other way for her.

Ah, so that was it. That unresolved feeling.

He still loved her.

Maybe not as his sister, this time, but as something more.

And none of it was going to matter if they were too late. If Corrin never woke up, he would never get the chance to tell her how he felt.

He could really use some of Corrin's luck, right now.

"W-why isn't she up yet, big brother? She's all mended, so why isn't she waking up?"

Leo's breath grew shallow. There was something they forgot to do. It could also answer the question as to why her wound took such a long time to heal, even with magic.

"...Elise?"

She gave a small sniffle, "Y-yes, big brother?"

"Did you...check her heartbeat?"

He watched as Nohr's youngest princess grew tense. She took a shaky step forward. And another. Then another, reaching the spot at Corrin's side.

Her hand lightly reached for Corrin's wrist as Elise pressed two fingers along it to check for a pulse. After a moment without her announcing anything, Elise moved her fingers to find the pulse at Corrin's neck, instead.

"...Eli-"

Her twintails bounced as she shot up and turned to him.

"She has a pulse, so I'm sure she just needs more time. Right, big brother?"

Leo released a breath he didn't know he was holding, "Yeah. She'll be alright. We can wait for her to wake up together."

Elise headed back behind the tent flaps, again, "Okay!"

When she returned with two waters and offered one to Leo, he downed it faster than he thought he possibly could have. He was exceedingly tired, but he wasn't going to rest until Corrin opened her eyes and he could confirm she wasn't dying.

Fortunately, that didn't take as long as he thought it would.

When Corrin first began to stir, Elise had rushed to her side. Leo himself had opted to back up and leave her some breathing room, but he was still only a step away.

"...nngh...wh-what...?"

"Big Sis Corrin!"

"Easy, sister. She's likely to have heavy sleep inertia after that episode."

Corrin's eyes blinked once, then twice. Her eyes drifted from Elise, to Leo, and finally to the tent around her.

"Where am I...? How did I...get here?"

"You're here with us, in the medical tent! Leo brought you here after you got hurt."

The wounded princess's gaze drifted to the side, "...Takumi..."

"He'll be fine. You're the one that got injured, after all." Leo clenched his fists. "I have half a mind to drag him here myself and make him apologize, but I'm not stupid enough to bring him in while you're in this state."

After everything he said in the training grounds, Takumi would probably love seeing Corrin rendered to a cot by his own hand. Well, as long as Leo was here, he wouldn't let the archer within ten yards of the tent.

Elise left once more, returning with another water meant for Corrin.

"You should drink this! Slowly, please. We don't need you to be doing anything too taxing, just yet."

She took small sips of the water as Elise propped her up on some pillows she found around the tent.

"It was just an arrow in the shoulder, right?" Corrin pondered between sips. "But then why was I..."

Leo shook his head slightly, "No, Corrin. You can't compare that shot to just any arrow. That was a projectile of light from the Fujin Yumi; one of the sacred weapons, as you must be aware. I'm certain its abilities managed to negatively influence your healing process."

He had garnered both princesses' attention, at this.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it. Elise here can confirm that it took us far longer than it should have to revive you. You were bleeding far too much for an arrow wound, though that might have been due to the light disappearing once you were hit. It pierced your shoulder, then left nothing to stifle the bleeding."

Elise nodded, seemingly agreeing with the conclusions at which Leo had arrived.

"You should be more careful, big sister! You were really hurt, and things might have gone even worse if there wasn't a healer like me already in this tent!"

Corrin smiled, reaching her hand out to the younger girl, "Thank you, Elise. I promise to be more mindful from now on." She turned her eyes to Leo, "And thank you, Leo. Both for intervening back there and for bringing me here."

He sighed, "Really though, you do need to be more careful. Your luck may run out one day."

Excusing himself before she could respond, he left Elise to take care of Corrin while he went to find her retainers. He needed to have a word with them on ensuring their liege's safety.

Maybe one day, he'd have a word with Corrin, too. About how he felt for her, and whether or not she garnered the same type of affection for him.

For now, though, the princess needed rest. He wasn't as unfeeling as to ask such a question while she was still recovering from a life-threatening event.

Perhaps he would have a word with Hoshido's youngest prince, too. A refresher on training etiquette might not be that far out of line.

Leo had a busy afternoon ahead of him.
