[mikeslvr]

My proper introduction (me + my fnaf au guide)

hellooo :3

I'm Donnie, they/them, 17 y/o, I’m an artist + writer and this blog is mainly for my retelling of rebornica’s fnaf au, which I’ve named Lost and Found

I DONT SUPPORT REBORNICA, hence the remake. It’s a collaborative effort with my boyfriend, who comes up with a lot of the more intricate lore and details. None of this would even exist if it weren’t for him (also his name is literally vincent,, crazy how that happens)

Anyways, I’m finally at a point where I feel secure in my au and its story, and comfortable posting lore abt it! PLEASE feel free to send in asks or messages in regard to my au and characters!! I also have a side blog @askthelaffnafguards for questions you have for the characters directly, if you’d like to interact with or have a chat with them!! If not then again pls don't be afraid to ask me literally anything pleaaaaase I must talk abt my hyperfixation

I may post suggestive humor and art sometimes !! No blatant NSFW but I like to joke, esp abt the guards

AU GUIDE UNDER READ MORE !! (this may be edited and updated overtime, this AU is still in the works !!)

AU tags :

#laffnaf - the au name abbreviated, anything relating to my au whether it’s art, lore, etc, will have this tag

#laffnaf rants - same as one above except these r usually text only posts

#donnie yapping - my shameless rambles, usually always abt my au or fnaf au’s in general

BRIEF Lore Synopsis (intentionally vague bc i like keeping secrets, most of the nitty gritty stuff will be for later) :

The time period of this AU is like,,,,,,exceptionally long. Starting in the 1950's and onward.

It also combines canon fnaf lore, rebornica lore, and other things me and my bf just thought up that seemed fun.

Vincent was adopted into the Afton family as a newborn when William was 11 years old. The two brothers had a very rocky dynamic as they grew up, William being the favorable child but it was still clear there was something.. off with him. Most of Vincent’s dynamic with William growing up was Vincent being manipulated into doing what William wanted, and having a false hope that his older brother might actually care about him. Growing more and more bitter as he grew up, Vincent began to resent his brother.

William opens the Fazbear's establishment(s) around his late 20's, Vincent being the first "real" Fazbear's employee alongside his brother and Henry Emily. Of course, Henry ends up quitting later on to grieve the death of his daughter, who died outside the pizzeria. He has his suspicions on how and why, but he doesn't stay long enough to confirm them. He just wants to get away. Before that even happened, one of Williams sons and his daughter also died tragically in animatronic related accidents, all of these instances coming together to reveal the discovery of remnant (yeah we're doing the remnant shit, much differently than canon though so it's pretty simple to understand. made from dead souls, excessive use gives the user extended life and/or immortality, as well as a rapid healing factor, however it also gives the user psychopathic and sadistic tendencies that can become uncontrollable. crazy magic purple goo)

Scott is employed a long while after Vincent meets him on a whim at a bar. Scott had just gotten past a divorce with his ex-wife, Morgan, and while Vincent wasn’t thinking he would enjoy Scott’s slightly tipsy rambles about her, he found him oddly enticing. Having also just broken up with Mahogany, Vincent's longest relationship ever (probably a year or two), he enjoyed some company. One night in specific, those dumb gays got a biiiiiiit too close and unlock a "friends with benefits" relationship. Cue Scott being confused abt his sexuality and Vincent being in denial about.. everything except his sexuality, really. If he’s sure of anything it’s that he fucks guys AND gals I guess (and the non-binaries, he's got love for us too <3) To make matters even more awkward they WORK TOGETHER NOW, nothing like having to work with the guy you saw in bed that one time and having to be like "ougghhhh just act normal........"

Mike was the bite of 87 victim at 7 years old, entering a coma for 8 years. Vincent and Scott are around 22 at the time of the bite, witnessing the whole thing. At this point the missing kids case is running rampant, Fazbears landing in hot water. Once Mike is out of hospitalization and fully recovered, while grieving his mother who passed away while he was in comatose, he gets a job at Burger King (please get the reference) temporarily. While working there he briefly dates a girl named Kat, they realized quickly though that they were better as friends and still have a strong platonic love for each other.

Vincent gets really paranoid about Scotts safety once he finds out his brother is a murderer, yet simultaneously becomes Williams test subject for remnant and is forced to keep his mouth shut. Waaaait. PARANOID? About SCOTT???? Whaaaaat?????? Is this bitter fake WHORE actually concerned about someone?? Huh.. on the other hand, Scott is noticing something off about the animatronics. Like an odd stench.. almost like- oh yeah no the missing children are in the animatronics. Can we get a "How many times Scott has to see a corpse" counter in here please. Both feeling unsafe and yet also obligated to stay in place, Scott and Vincent rely on each other to stay stable and keep this place afloat, both fully aware of William's endeavors but having their own reasons to not say anything. They sometimes stay up late talking about how much they despise William

Mike eventually meets a guy the same age as him named Astro, and due to family complications Astro is left living on the streets. Mike may be a dick but he's not heartless, so he allows Astro a spot on his couch. He could use the company anyway. The awkward tension between them dies down gradually as they get to know eachother, and at some point Mike quits his Burger King job and applies to work at Fazbears. He can't really recall what or why, but something, a little voice in the back of his head, told him he should apply. Weird. Astro decides to tag along, the guilt of not having a real job to pay back Mike eating him up.

Astro and Mike meet Vincent and Scott, as well as William. The gang is forming

Jeremy, Fritz, and Chris are all employed to heighten security and keep the place tidy.

While losing a grip on his sanity due to the remnant, Vincent is falling for Scott harder and harder as days go on, so you can imagine the absolute nightmare going on in his brain. What were once just delusional fantasies of Scott in the bedroom were now becoming butterflies in his stomach at the mere sight of him. While Vincent fell first, Scott definitely fell harder. Scott was dismissive of his feelings for a long time, forcing himself into denial over and over. They both tried to pursue other people but Vincent couldn't even stomach it more than once or twice, despite not being together yet he felt like he was cheating on Scott. Scott on the other hand had less guilt trying to continue pursuing women, but he had a slight unease.. does he actually.. like Vincent?

"So they should confess their feelings now right?" No DUMMY ur gonna have to wait (i'll move on from my purplephone delusions now sorry)

Adding onto the relationship stuff, Astro and Mike are beginning to develop feelings for each other as well. Mike is conflicted, because his entire life he thought he was straight, but he’s starting to realize maybe he was looking at men a bit more intently than he thought. Astro on the other hand, who was already confident in his sexuality, wanted nothing more than to kiss that stupid bald man. Around when they're both 22 Mike drunkenly confesses by accident and while it does take a while, they're able to talk normally and start officially going out. Ofc this is explored more in-depth in the real story and not the tumblr summary of it

And I’m cutting it off there. There's a lot of story to this au and i am not powerful enough to type it all out, nor do i really want to yet!! If you have any specific lore questions, pls feel free to ask, im not as secretive when asked directly,,

And if it wasn't obvious enough, William and Vincent are different people, as well as Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton. That seems REALLY obvious if you read this far but still, I don't want any confusion.

Characters in-depth :

Astro Leroy Michel (Eventually just "Astro Schmidt") / "Doll" : 

Astro is a gay, transgender man, and uses he/they pronouns

5'6

25 years old

He's married to Mike, having met him when they were both around 16 years old. They didn't start dating until they were in their early 20's, and getting married around their late 20's.

Generally polite and can bond with most people.

Takes a lot to make him panic, he's learned to have a tough exterior and to be more level-headed in stressful situations (which combats Mike's more extreme emotions)

He's punk !! Mike didn't know much abt punk beliefs until he met Astro, safe to say he thinks his husband is sick asf and they rant abt controversial/political topics together a lot.

Wears the pants in the relationship

Loves Mike sososososo much, he doesn't think anyone is as handsome or cute as his adorable husband :D

Grew up being really into the paranormal and has owned the same Ouija board ever since he was a kid. Which is my subtle way of saying he gradually becomes one of the most connected to the spirits of the dead children, being able to communicate with them the easiest, especially since they have no anger or suspicion towards him.

Only ever heard of Fazbear's as a kid, never actually went there due to their sheltered childhood.

HATES working at Fazbear's, but is primarily staying for Mike, who refuses to quit.

Very fascinated by bugs, wanting a pet centipede or tarantula, but Mike would never allow it.

Very close friends with Vincent and Chris, knowing things about the two that seemingly nobody else does. He cares about them a lot, and they're all smoking buddies and spend late nights together when things get tough.

Mike Schmidt : 

Bisexual, cis man, uses he/him pronouns

6'0

25 years old

Married to Astro Schmidt, as previously mentioned. He's hopelessly in love with that man.

Ever since the Foxy incident when he was 7, in which he suffered extreme frontal lobe damage and was hospitalized, left in comatose for a large chunk of his life, he's been left permanently altered. The memory of the bite has been blocked out of his brain, his admiration for the pirate fox remaining, but a blanket of uncertainty covers it ever so slightly.

The only people who know about the incident are William, Scott, and Vincent. None of them say anything.

Owns a crutch to help with his mobility at times, but refuses to use it. He thinks his friends will see him as weak, even if it would help him in the long run. Astro encourages him to use it whenever possible, with mixed results.

The brain trauma has left him with jittering, shaking hands. He gets easily frustrated with himself due to this and resorts to violence to get those emotions out, hence the bandages.

Most assume he just has heterochromia, which he won't deny, simply because he doesn't like getting into his past, but his left eye is actually a prosthetic.

Covers up his insecurities by acting all tough and macho, very short temper, "doesn't take shit from no one" type of guy. Until he's with Astro. Then he's a big 'ol softie.

Under his shell of an unapproachable, brutal guy, he's very compassionate and, while struggling with empathy, can still be there to support the ones he cares about.

His main coping mechanism for all his issues, though, is excessive drinking. He feels like he doesn’t belong in his own body, not remembering what completely tore his life apart and feeling so lost and unsure of what his purpose even is. So down goes the alcohol

Ever since he started his job at Fazbear's, he kept a baseball bat on him, strapped to his back underneath his security jacket.

Hated Vincent at first, but he grew to appreciate him once he slowly realized the two weren't so different after all. I mean, he still finds him annoying, but they kind of have a weird trauma-bonded thing going on. Their personalities clash but they still understand each other to a certain degree.

Was annoyed by and dismissive of Jeremy when they first met, not understanding why someone so young was risking his life at a place like this. Overtime, he grew really fond of the kid, seeing him as a younger brother, or even like a son.

Sees Scott as a father figure, but he would never admit that. He didn’t have a dad at all growing up, he never even met the guy, so when he met Scott it was kinda surreal. Scott cares for and yet also mentors him like a father would, like his father would. It really unnerves him, making him lash out a lot, but when he gets drunk or broken down he can’t help but tell Scott how much it means to him.

Oh yeah, and Faith — he doesn’t know about her yet. He barely even remembers the times they crossed paths when they were kids. He does eventually find out that she’s possessing him, and he doesn’t react very well. They adapt to each other soon enough though, once he realizes she’s only been protecting him. Faith usually forces herself into control if Mike is in extreme danger, resulting in a huge migraine and memory loss of the entire instance afterwards once Mike is back in control.

Hates Fazbear's. So much. The pay is shit, his boss is annoying, the whole nine yards. Yet he's staying, because despite it all he really loves his friends and the life he's built working here. Maybe everything will be okay.

Jeremy Fitzgerald : 

Aroace, transman, he/him pronouns

5'4

19 years old

A very quiet young man, one of the most recent recruits to the Fazbear team and primarily just an intern. Almost an unpaid one, but Scott cut him some slack. He's really just trying to get money to pay for college and half of the rent at his dads house.

Generally silent and kept to himself, having a high amount of social anxiety. He carries a gameboy and some flashy cat headphones, gaming in his free time when he just wants to be by himself

Terrified of his job, always had a bad feeling about it, but it was the only place that would hire him. He grows accustomed to some of the animatronics though, like the marionette. He always enjoyed weird, circus-y things like that

INCREDIBLY kind, almost to his own dismay. Once he breaks through his awkward and shy shell, he's the most loyal, silly, and compassionate friend you could ever have

He loves snacks, anime, and video games, as well as what would be deemed today as more “cottagecore” fashion. Although, on some days, he rocks an oversized graphic tee and some sweatpants, because mans is tired

Idolizes Mike a lot, seeing him as an older brother or father figure. Mike also makes him feel more comfortable in his masculinity, helping his dysphoria and breaking him out of his shell, especially when Mike invites him to workout sessions. He feels the same about Astro, especially since Astro is an older trans guy who helps Jeremy through his journey

Where Jeremy’s relationship with Mike takes longer to develop and flesh out, he immediately saw Scott as a fatherly figure. He really appreciates Scott’s kindness and gentle demeanor despite looking like this big, stoic manager. He owes Scott his life, and he wants to be just as kind as he is, especially if he ever wants children when he’s older. He doesn’t wanna repeat the same mistakes as his biological dad. Never.

Jeremy and his biological father have a horrible relationship, and his mother passed away in a car accident when he was young. He barely remembers what she looks like, and hates looking his dad in the eyes. Because of this, in art, his mom will be portrayed with a completely blank face, and his dad's face will be crossed out with a X

Over time, Jeremy and Fritz grow very close, developing into a queerplatonic relationship (they don't know that this is a term, to them they're just platonic soulmates that hold hands n kiss on the cheek sometimes !!) They also binge cartoons and anime together, and bond over hobbies and common interests

Jeremy is close with Chris as well, hanging out with him and Fritz primarily, mainly when Mike and Astro are busy

Vincent Afton/Bishop : 

Pansexual, cis man, he/him pronouns

5’7

39 years old

Starts using Scott's last name (Bishop) a bit into their romantic relationship, not because they're married, but because Vincent would rather it seem like they are married than keep using the last name Afton (and let's be honest, Vincent wants to put a ring on that finger so bad)

The begrudging younger brother of William Afton, as mentioned he was adopted as an infant. His parents didn’t really like him though, and neither did William. He didn’t notice until he was older that the majority of the time William was just using him, which never ended up changing.

Vincent was always the first test subject for everything William did, including remnant. When William discovered remnant, he subjected Vincent to that torture completely against his will. This resulted in an addiction with extremely severe and dangerous side effects, turning a seemingly normal guy into uummm,,purple guy WOAHHHH they said the thing (Vincent may have also been the first springlock victim but that’s to be determined)

In Vincent’s early 20’s (so around 1985,,just for reference), William put a contraption in Vincent’s jaw while he was unconscious that forces his mouth to stay in a wide grin, so anytime Vincent tries to do simple tasks like eat, talk, close his mouth, or frown, he’s in excruciating pain. As a result he’s always smiling. Fuck Lost and Found William he’s a bitch

On a more lighthearted topic, Vincent’s childhood wasn’t all bad. He would watch his mom play the piano and studied her techniques for years, using it as an escape and a way to relieve stress growing up. Unfortunately it went to the back of his mind when he moved out to live with William (stupid decision). Also, he totally had spunk and style in the 80’s. We’re keeping his love for funky suits, he loves dolling himself up

He still has his toast addiction, not as severely but warm slices of toast with butter are unironically his comfort food

Vincent spent a lot of his 20’s parading himself around and using his flirty and eccentric facade to get himself laid almost everyday. He didn’t form meaningful connections with anyone, nor did he have any interest in doing so. He was going through a rough patch and wanted a quick and easy way out of it every night, that’s all.

Although, that lifestyle came to a surprising halt when he met a man at his usual bar once. He had never seen him there before, and considering he was thinking of just rotting in bed that night instead, it was an utter coincidence that they even saw each-other, let alone conversed and slowly developed a friendship. Of course this man was Scott Bishop, a kindhearted guy who lost his job as a nurse and simultaneously lost his wife in a divorce. Scott and Vincent’s relationship hit a bit of a road bump one night where they were both a little tipsy and decided to spend the night together (aka they had sex), resulting in Vincent being terrified that he might actually feel things for this man and Scott being confused because he might actually be gay (more on Scott in his section). Vincent had to wrestle with the idea that he felt a real emotional connection to this guy, actually being concerned for his well-being and wanting to be with him every second of every day. Which wasn’t like him, at all. He was falling in love and it was terrifying.

Vincent DOES become a serial killer but he didn’t kill the children, his kills came from a psychotic break after being filled with remnant for years and a thirst for blood. He still feels remorse and guilt for his actions and despises William for killing innocent children.

Was a fun uncle to Williams kids but nothing much more than that, he was awkward around kids and preferred Evan (crying child’s name in laffnaf) since he was quiet and didn’t cause many problems. His relationship with Michael got rough after the bite of 83, Evan’s death hitting him like a truck and he wasn’t sure how easy it would be to forgive Michael, despite still wanting to be there for his nephew. They never really got to patch things up before Vincent got preoccupied with his own affairs. To this day he isn’t sure if Michael is even alive.

Still has his flirty and eccentric personality but he slowly gains more genuine confidence and learns how to express his emotions properly and be there for people he cares about. He’s still pretty blunt and hits on people for funsies but he makes it clear when he’s just joking around. People still find him creepy and off putting nevertheless.

Obviously he’s in love with Scott so I’ll briefly mention his relationships with everyone else. He’s best friends with Astro, the two having similar interests and humor and they love gossiping in their free time. He loves to pick on Mike but deep down he respects him and the work he does, plus the trauma he went through. He also loves to mess with Jeremy, taking advantage of his jumpiness and using that to scare him shitless all the time. As for everyone else he’s fine with them, I’m so sorry but this is taking weeks and I’m so tired UGHHRG

Scott Bishop (Phone Guy) : 

Unlabeled, cis man, he/him pronouns (I think he's asexual in some variant.. not fully bc yk but maybe demisexual......... maybe I'm just self-projecting)

6'4

40 years old

Practically forced into the manager position by William, who was once manager but started losing interest in that portion of his job, so all the stress was put on Scott. That includes everyone else’s jobs too, as he’s kinda expected to fill in for whoever isn’t present. For example if Fritz isn’t at work, Scott has to take care of the animatronics. If Mike stays home, Scott (or Vincent if Scott asks him to bc he’s pathetic) has to fill in for him. So you can imagine how stressed Scott is when he gets home every night, if he even does. His ACTUAL job is the dayshift, but with everyone else to manage, he goes days without sleeping sometimes.

If you thought Jeremy was unbearably kind, try THIS loser. His kindness hurts him. Even if you're a bitch to him, he'll be there for you if you're having a bad day. He cares about his employees lives more than his own, and has the scars to prove that he would do anything to protect them. Ontop of that, he's a huge goofball, more than people assume or give him credit for. He always knows the punchlines to Mikes jokes, kinda aggravating Mike sometimes but deep down they appreciate each others humor.

Really loves books and reading, but also infatuated by really dark concepts and topics. He doesn’t really fear death as much as he accepts that it’s inevitable. That didn’t really change when he began working at Fazbears. He would sacrifice himself for his employees and that’s that, if he died for a good cause then he died happy.

Probably the most infuriated by the missing children case. He began working at Fazbear's in the 80's, around 1987 to be exact. His first run-in with a child nearly dying being the Bite of '87. He already felt horrifically guilty for that, so you can imagine the fear and stress as more and more children that he saw everyday just slowly went missing. Children he comforted when they were sad, children whose parents he had fond relationships with. They were all ticked off, one by one. Scott found out all the details about William being the killer through Vincent, but he was also convinced by him not to say anything, due to William’s large influence and capability of silencing anyone who speaks out against him. After all, Fazbears is a largely successful corporation in this universe. It’s still dirt cheap and looks like shit, but the Afton name is very well known. It can’t be tarnished, no matter how badly Scott wants to tear it all to the ground.

Wears his giant phone mask to look more like a mascot for Freddy Fazbear’s (other than Freddy himself....), and to cover up his face during the dayshift, which he deems too “unsettling” for the kids to see (wtf man you have ONE scar get a grip ur beautiful). The kids grew attached to him, his mask plastered with sharpie drawings and little stickers by the end of the day. He would NEVER remove them, never. He wasn’t sure how good he would be with handling kids, but he always ends up smiling by the end of the day, even if he’s stressed out. Once again, it got really under his skin that his boss murdered those kids.

Also — the phone reacts to his emotions. I don’t know the logistics, it just does. It’s just a helmet but when Scott puts it on he can emote and make facial expressions that are expressed by the phone, and yet it also still works as a phone. I don’t know, okay? Moving on.

Confused by and yet also entranced by Vincent. He loves to watch him, analyzing him in his brain, figuring out what makes him tick. He loves the attention too, even if he playfully shoves Vincent away a lot he loves how touchy and clingy he is. The way he hugs him from behind, grabs his hand, holds his face, oh my lord. It makes him completely melt, the compliments too, it all goes right to his brain and makes him all warm and giggly.

But he’s TOTALLY straight, right?

Yeah no. Everyone point and laugh. He doesn’t even know what was going through his head when he accepted Vincent’s offer that night, the logic of how he came out of that still thinking he’s straight is utterly ridiculous. You kissed a man Scott oh my lord

As for the other guards, as previously stated, Scott cares about them a lot. He has a big soft spot for Jeremy and surprisingly Mike, treating them as if they were his sons. He’s aware of Jeremy’s awful relationship with his dad, being the one to actually physically save him from that household, and trusting Mike to take Jeremy in and live with him and Astro. He would’ve done it himself if he could’ve, but he just has too much going on already. He and Mike also had a mutual understanding that Jeremy’s father must be “dealt with”, sending Mike off to do so. We don’t fw Jeremy’s dad here.

He’s also aware of Mike’s self-destructive behaviors and drinking problem, indulging in drinking with Mike sometimes to make him feel less alone, but the majority of the time he’s the one staying sober to make sure Mike is okay, alongside Astro. He’s like this with all the guards, recognizing their behaviors and habits and being there if he feels like they need him, which 9 times out of 10 they do.

He also thinks - no, knows that he owes Mike. He owes Mike a lot. Despite none of it being his fault, despite doing his best to save Mike that day, he just needs to be there for him. It's the least he could do for keeping it all a secret.

Fritz

Aroace, non-binary, he/they king

5'1

20 years old

Still mostly prefers masculine terms despite being non-binary, honestly he doesn't even know the term non-binary exists. He just knows he doesn't fully feel like a guy

Biiiiiiiig tech guy, very very good with computers and all kinds of technology. He genuinely loves working on the animatronics and sneaking in little upgrades without William knowing

Very friendly, but not the most social unless it's about something that directly interests him. This is why he gets along with Jeremy so well, as they have very similar interests, and Jeremy always asks questions about programming and hacking that Fritz loves to tell him all about

Was briefly fired for tampering with the animatronics after hours, but was quickly re-hired by Scott when he realized they couldn't find a mechanic with nearly as much ambition, drive, and skill as Fritz

Weird comedic relief thing -- Fritz made Balloon Boy in this AU. BB was NEVER meant to be part of William's animatronic roster, and while he isn't Fritz's best work, Fritz thinks he's just so goofy looking that he HAS to be included. BB is packed with motion-activated voice lines Fritz installed in his voicebox, causing nothing but annoyance for the rest of the guards. Everyone but Fritz hates that stupid thing

Apart from his pookie Jeremy he also hangs out with Chris and sometimes Mike, but none of the other guards really talk to him much. Not out of hostility or anything, just because they know Fritz prefers his privacy and focusing on his work.

Chris

Trans man, he/him pronouns, and uuhnmmmnm (im so sorry i have not figured out his sexuality yet, at the moment im saying bisexual i think)

5'5

21 years old

The chillest guy there, spends 90% of his time blasting music from his walkman into his ears and humming n bobbing his head to the beat of his music as he sweeps the floors

Friends with EVERYONE, but he certainly has his favorites. He loves listening to Mike ramble and theorize, enjoys Scott's wisdom on dark n spooky topics, likes chilling with Fritz and Jeremy due to being similar in age and interests, but as previously mentioned he likes smoking (weed) with Astro and Vincent on weekends and therefore those two have become his best friends over time. At work though, he would probably pick Mike

Lives in a dusty old apartment with his black hairless cat, Lucky. He loves his dusty old apartment

Loves piercings, tattoos, graffiti art, all kinds of stuff like that

Doesn't really pay much mind to the whole "haunted pizzeria" thing, he thinks it's real interesting and all but he has bigger worries. Like sweeping the shit outta those floors so he can afford to feed his cat this week

As much as I would love to elaborate on more of the characters (Faith, William, the rest of the missing children, etc.) this has already taken probably months and I would like to just post this stupid thing already. I think you could slowly see my writing descend into madness and for that I apologize

AGAIN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS !!!!! more will be added to this in the future, ty for reading xoxoxoxoxoxo <33333

[holly-opal]

I shall take this opportunity to hyperfixate

Manhattan!

I imagine it's very homey and cozy, like a real family home!

The mutagen comes from the Kraang.

They were mutated intentionally.

Yes a couple of characters get mutated throughout the story.

Well, they scavenged at first, but later on they make money by selling the shit they find or some of Donnie's tech.

The Kraang.

They want to build a mutant army to take over the world.

Yeah.

You bet your ass there's romance!

Can I ask what your thoughts on transfem Leo? It's one of my favorite headcanons and I was silently hoping you'd make a drawing on the HC or some of your own personal headcanons :)

I actually HC both Donnie and Mikey as non-binary but I haven’t pinned down what I feel about Raph or Leo yet.

I’m a bit biased toward male presenting Leo bc his character really helped me feel better about my own views on gender. But I’m all for anyone having fun and their own interpretations of characters, I understand transfem Leo means a lot to many people in the fandom. So I try to design the turtles with an even balance between male and female presenting traits. Like giving them all eyelashes for example.

Honestly though it’s kinda hard for me to think of a female turtle that wouldn’t look the same as the TMNT. Venus in my AU just looks like the turtle tots do bc real life turtles just don’t have many differences at a young age. Also I may or may not have implied that the cloak my older Leo design wears is just a split skirt around his shoulders… I haven’t found a way to make skirts look decent on my turtles yet..

Leo’s perfect no matter the gender presentation tho it’s just a fact.

[crypticpaw]

Do you have any headcanons for the ROTTMNT guys?

OMG, DO I?!? I have lots, actually!

Leo:

Gay. A fruit. CEO of the skiddle squad. Queerest of all the turtles combined

Donnie's twin and the youngest between them, only older than Mikey

Has really bad insomnia, especially after the movie and the stuff with the Kraang, because of nightmares

Took spanish classes with Señor Hueso just because he though it was cool, but now whenever he gets into an argument with someone he just starts speaking spanish and nobody can understand him

Absolute gossip king, wants to know everything about everyone and if you have any secrets whatsoever, Leo will find out about it, whether you like it or not

On the same note, he's an amazing secret keeper. If you directly ask him to not tell anyone, he won't

That doesn't aply to his own crushes, he will gush and sigh like an idiot under some love-spell, kicking up his legs with his face all red

Red-Eared Sliders actually hiss and huff whenever they get angry, and Leo does too

Dating Usagi

Donnie:

Non-Binary and Bisexual, he/him pronouns

Leo's twin and the oldest between them, only younger than Raph

Sensory seeker autistic with a special interest in technology, but knows about biology too

Also very invested in gossip, will listen to whatever stories Leo brings and add his own too. Donnie, however, could not keep a secret if his life depended on it

The one who actually met April. He was out collecting trash and scraps for his inventions and she followed him, they've been bestest of friends ever since

Pettiest turtle you will ever meet in your life. Seriously, do not piss him off, he will take revenge and you will regret it for the rest of your life

Tried drawing his eyebrows on his skin when he was a tot and had a very bad sensory ick, like, a full shut-down. So he started drawing them on his bandana instead

Sleeps cuddled with Sheldon like he's a stuffed animal

Has the voice of an angel. For real, this guy can sing like a rockstar, sometimes sings outloud as a stim and his brothers just gather around him to hype him up because Donnie is just THAT good!

Raph:

Transgender boy who loves to dress in a more femine style. Paints his nails and knows everything about makeup

Oldest of all the brothers

Has the biggest collection of stuffed animals in New York. They all have names, backstories, personalities and outfits he likes to dress them up with

Roars. Actual, loud, bellowing roars. When Raph let out his first roar as a little tot, Splinter actually thought there was a monster in the lair

Accidentally hurt their father one day while training and cried about it for weeks on end, feels terrible about it to this day

Solves all his problems with his sharp teeth, the power of his bite can crush a grown man in half like a twig

Raph actually has lost a lot of teeth because of this. Donnie had to replace a lot of them and you know he asked for a little extra sharp gold tooth that peeks out of his mouth sometimes

Loves swimming, will toss himself in the nearest body of water that looks deep enough for him, spends the most time in the bath out of all the turtles

Will stop to pet every single dog he sees walking down the streets, even if it's in the middle of a mission

Mikey:

Aroace royalty who don't need no romance!

Youngest of all the brothers

Diagnosed ADHD. Has comited arson and will do it again

His room is covered in stickers and posters from floor to roof, it's diffucult to tell where the walls or doors are

Misses Karai the most. He got so quickly attached to her, sometimes Mikey dreams that she's still there and when he wakes up and realises she's not, he tries to go back to sleep only to start crying

If you ever gift him something you made with your own hands, like a hand-written letter, card, DIY project, he will absolutely die for you no questions asked

An actual contorcionist. Will pull the most mind-blowing circus move you've ever seen in your life mid-battle like it's nothing. This boy has no bones, the most athletic of all his brothers

The first to really reach full potential of his powers and has the better control of it out of the whole family

Also, all of them can retrach into their shells, all of them! I don't know why only Mikey got to do that in the actual show!

[olive-garden-hoe]

YES

She found out from one time Mikey called her pretty as a joke and she just kinda froze for a sec bc of how good it felt!

I also hc that Donnie is non-binary (they/them and exploring neopronouns) and Mikey doesn’t care about their gender but he def isn’t a boy (all pronouns). Anyways I think April talked about a non-binary friend and they asked her why she was using they/them pronouns and she explained the concept to them and Donnie was like 😳 and realized who they were. They did more research and came out later, Mikey came out at the same time lol.

Anyways this is important because Leo was like “I’m safe? This can happen?” And started to find clothes in trash cans to sew into a cute sweatshirt and skirt. When she tried it on after a month of working on it, the gender euphoria was unreal.

I imagine Leo as a DIY girly and she finds a sketchbook where she draws as many cute outfits she can think of or remember a girl on the street wearing and makes the clothes/accessories herself

I think she would be too scared to tell her brothers but Raph finds out by accident after finding her in her skirt and sweatshirt watching Space Heroes and drawing Space Heroes inspired outfits

He supports her (obviously) and stands with her when she tells her siblings (who are super excited to have a sister)

Then it’s time to tell Splinter, who she was especially scared about, since Splinter was trying to be supportive of Mikey and Donnie but Leo thinks he is confused/angry and just doesn’t say it

But when she tells Splinter, my guy hugs his new daughter and says how brave she is and how her siblings are lucky to have such a great big sister.

They all join in for a group hug and Donnie and Mikey, who were also kinda concerned about Splinter’s reaction, feel rlly supported

Anyways Leo now makes her masks longer and Splinter helps her make pretty dresses

I love her sm and I think April and Casey got her, Donnie, and Mikey pride flags for their mutation day

(They also got Raph some stim toys and a weighted blanket bc autistic Raph is real)

Splinter got a Polaroid camera that he was confused by at first, but soon used it to take pictures that he sticks to the wall

He likes taking pictures of his kids being happy the most, ex. Donnie working on machines, Raph and Mikey parallel playing, Leo with her new dress, etc.

She’s amazing I love her please give me your hcs (grabby hands)

transfem 12!leo tho,,, someone talk to me about her [grabby hands]

My Personal Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Headcanons

Section 1: They're all queer as fuck

Part 1: All of the turtles are trans/genderqueer in some fashion

Real life facts: For most turtle species- including alligator snapping turtles, box turtles, and red-eared sliders but NOT including softshells (we'll get around to ol' Donnie boy in a minute) you can determine the sex of an individual by looking at the shape of their plastron (aka chest/stomach).

Males always have concave (inward curving) plastrons

Females' plastrons are convex (outward curving), flat, or bumpy. For most species the shape varies from individual to individual, but female plastrons are never concave.

Tldr: concave (inward curving) plastrons = biologically male; any other plastron shape = biologically female

Now, let's look at our 3 (non-softshell) boys' plastrons

First, Raph

Raph's plastron is flat with a bump on top (aka, not concave). Therefore he is AFAB (or should I say AFAH- assigned female at hatching?).

Now I headcanon that he is a binary trans man. When Raph was very young, Splinter realized that Raph didn't like something about his deadname so he asked him about it and eventually got the turtle tot to admit that it felt wrong for him, that it felt more like a girl's name. To which Splinter said, "Are you not a girl?"/genuine and Raph said no, he feels more like a boy. So Splinter was like, "ah, my mistake. I guess you need a boy name then- how about Raphael?" (this would match the Renaissance name he gave his other son) The little turtle thought very hard for a moment. It felt right. "Raph likes that name". Splinter chuckles "Raphael it is"

Then when Donnie and/or Leo had trouble remembering to not use his deadname (Mikey was just learning to talk at the time, so she only ever remembers Raph's name being Raph), Raph would subtly remind them by referring to himself in the 3rd person, and after a while the habit stuck.

Speaking of his brothers:

Mikey, the youngest but the second one to change names and come out.

Here is Mikey's plastron

Flat = Not concave = Mikey is also AFAH.

I said "come out" but Mikey has always known that he was neither a girl or a boy, but rather- both? Or neither? Honestly she doesn't bother to try to figure it out and usually just identifies as "queer as ginger beer, baby!". If pressed for more details about his gender she shrugs and says "genderfluid". Mikey uses mirror pronouns.

When Leo began teasing Mikey about how girly her deadname was (Leo dealing with his own gender dysphoria in an unhealthy way, as per typical of the slider) Mikey decided to change his name for 2 reasons 1)on some unconscious level she understood why Leo was teasing her about the name and he thought if he had a different one it would make Leo less uncomfortable and 2)she was in the middle of a hyperfixation on (the Renaissance artist) Michaelangelo's art and the idea of being named after one of the best artists of all time made him do a happy-stim dance. Incidentally, Mikey is the only one who doesn't care whether anyone knows his deadname (it's Kitsu- a Japanese name meaning "tangerine/orange" because "you bring the sweetness and brightness of this sunny fruit into our lives every day")

Splinter found out that Mikey wanted to change her name and, not having any kind of concept of genders beyond male and female, (and thinking back to his experience with his eldest) came to the conclusion that Mikey was a boy. Mikey tried to explain it to him once, but when Splinter's eyes glazed over Mikey decided she didn't care if his Dad thought of her as a weird kind of boy.

He once had a phase where she decided he wanted to come up with his own neopronouns and landed on "orangeh/orangir/orangehs" (pronounced identically to the english words "orange", "oranger" and "oranges"). Honestly Mikey only kept it up for as long as orangeh did to see the twitch on Donnie's face every time Splinter forced the softshell to use the correct pronouns for his little brother ("But those are ALREADY REAL WORDS with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MEANING!" "Nuh-uh, I made new ones! :P" "They are pronounced EXACTLY THE SAME!" "Purple, respect your brother's gender identity and call him what he- I mean Orange- wants to be called or I'm taking away your soldering iron for a week!" "GAAURAGH! FiiINE! I will use orangehs DUM-DUM little words to refer to orangir even though orangeh is only doing it to annoy me >:( !!" *Mikey grins smugly*)

Incidentally, this was when Splinter started referring to them by their colors because his neurodivergent ass had trouble remembering to not use his sons' deadnames and if the pronouns were going to change too? That was more than he could handle. But Splinter was dead-set (get it ;) on respecting their gender identities so colors it is (thank God he had already color-coordinated them)

Ah, Leo. Leo Leo Leo

As we can see here, Leo's plastron is not concave, ergo he is also AFAH (also biologically male red-eared sliders' markings often fade as they reach adulthood and their skin produces more melanin, while biologically female sliders retain the same bright coloring they had as hatchlings. But since some male sliders don't get darker skin, we're not going to count this as proof of his gender assigned at hatching. Evidence? yes. But proof? No)

When Raphael came out to their dad, Leo became extremely jealous of his older brother because of Raph's name change because of the extra attention Raph got from their Dad. And, ironically, this only made the red-eared slider firmer in his insistence that he wasn't an "icky boy :P"- he was NOT (!) going to copy his older brother even though he kinda wanted to.

So Leo dealt with his gender dysphoria in other ways -

becoming ultra-competitive ("just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't cream you, DonTon!" "Bring it on then, twin sister" *Leo just gives a wordless scream of rage*)

teasing every single one of his siblings about gender stuff every chance he can (except Raph- the first time Leo implied that Raph wasn't a "real boy" Raph ran off crying and Leo was grounded for a month- with no pizza)

developing that characteristic, deflectingly cocky personality

when things were really bad he became aggressively angry (when this happened he usually got it out by sparring with Raph or Donnie no, not because Leo's jealous, why would he be jealous

When Mikey changed his name, at first Leo became insanely jealous found Mikey to be even more annoying than usual until one day Dr Feelings, in her first ever appearance (*internally* "I only changed my name in the first place to try to make Leo feel better, but now Leo's feeling even more upset! Wait, that's it- feelings. I'll be Dr Feelings") , told Leo that if he was so jealous of Mikey and Raph changing their names, why didn't he just change his?

An argument ensued with Dr Feelings trying to get Leo to tell him what's wrong until finally Leo blurts out:

"Because! It's not like it would stop everyone from calling me a girl anyway!"

"...But if you asked us to we would"

*one existential crisis later*

"Raph, Donnie, Mikey: I have an important announcement to make... I'm not a girl, I'm a boy and my name isn't [deadname] it's Leonardo"

"Did you pick that because you wanted to match how the rest of us are named after famous artists?"

"Or because Michelangelo's greatest rival was Leonardo Da Vinci? :D"

*His twin knew it was because he was going through a Leonardo DiCaprio fixation but other than giving his brother in blue a smirk, Donnie kept his mouth shut*

*sweating* "...Yes, of course that's why"

Raph took it upon himself to make sure that Splinter knew to respect Leo's new name and pronouns and the family has never looked back.

Now, let's swing back around to the autistic softshell.

Now, softshell plastrons are not sexually dimorphic in shape (tangent - is it actually sexual dimorphism when it is actually directly related to mating?) Anyway, our best metric here is shell pattern.

The pattern on a biologically female spiny softshell's carapace (back shell) will change as she reaches sexual maturity. Male spiny softshells retain their hatchling pattern their whole lives.

So, let's look at DonDon's shell pattern as a hatchling and as a teenager.

Donnie's shell still has the same basic pattern it did when he was a baby, so he must have been amah. But don't let those he/him pronouns fool you: Donnie is non-binary.

When his older brother Raph admitted to their dad that he felt more like a boy than a girl and then Splinter gave Raphael a new name, it set gears turning in little Donnie's head.

Donnie asked Raph about his feelings regarding gender and then had a conversation with Splinter- ostensibly to explain why he should call Raph "Raph" and how someone who (from Donnie's perspective) used to be a girl was now a boy. In actuality of course, our little scientist was gathering data about gender and how gender works.

His conclusion? More data is necessary.

So he watches his other siblings. He sees how Leo seems obsessed with gender and is also just, kinda angry, like all the time. He notices how Papá begins to use he/him pronouns for Mikey.

Then when he sees Leo's impassioned coming out speech, he finally arrives at a few conclusions:

1)Your gender is not necessarily tied to your physical sex (and the people who think otherwise are dum-dums whom he will keep away from his siblings at all costs)

2)Some people have very strong feelings about gender.

3)These people's strong feelings about gender are what determines whether they are a boy or a girl

4)Therefore, since he doesn't have strong feelings of being a boy or a girl, he must be neither.

5) Since he's not a girl he sees no point in changing his name and/or pronouns - honestly it would just confuse Papá and besides, with things as they are, he and his brothers' names are all matching.

When Donnie gets exposure to the queer community on the internet he finds out about nonbinary genders ("ah, an explanation for Mikey's confusing babbling about gender") and then xenogenders and suddenly everything clicks into place.

Donnie begins to quietly collect gender labels into a super-encrypted, password protected for-Donnie's-eyes-only document: slowly at first (if he isn't 100% sure that it vibes, he doesn't add it to the document). But then eventually Mikey's carefree attitude about gender rubs off enough that he begins adding anything that vaguely fits (this, of course, necessitates turning his list into a table so that he can add another parameter for each entry- namely, how much does it apply- and then organize them by said metric)

If you ask him what his gender is, he has a spectrum of responses based on how familiar with xenogenders you are.

0 - "Sure, you can use he/him pronouns for me"- for those who lack the context of there being more than 2 genders (aka, Splinter)

1 - "I'm nonbinary, which means I'm neither fully a boy nor fully a girl but he/him pronouns are fine"

2 - "I'm a xenby (that's xenogender+enby) with some masculinity in my gender identity"

3 - "I am a mascuon neurogender gendercollector. My other lead genders include, but are not limited to: autigender, purplegender, techgender and vibrogender"

4 - literally just shows them his gender-collection document- only 2 people have ever had this privilege: Mikey and April. The latter of whom accidentally saw it briefly over his shoulder before even knowing that he's nonbinary/trans, but when she was cool about it made him trust her enough to info-dump about his gender to her (as he does semi-regularly with Mikey when there has been a significant update). Unlike with Mikey, he hasn't info-dumped to April about his gender more than once (she tried, she really did. But she could only pay attention for so long before her eyes started to glaze over)

Some of Donnie's other gender labels include (but are not limited to) darkwebgender, deepwebgender, genderwhat, neurbinary, nesciōgender, rouene, stebaonic, stimgender, void hoarder, xumgender

Sci-fi. Main character is trans. Its very gay. I love it a lot. I wasn’t sure at first when I started it but I gave it a chance.

Fantasy. Really good Ace representation. The author is Ace. And so romance is pretty much nonexistent in the story line. Its more building friendships/found family of sorts with this. But its really good.

If y’all got anymore feel free to add them.

[almguav]

yo! Yo! YO! so ya'know how litearly all of science and history says that trans and non binary peeps are real right? Well donnie would absolutely loose his shit on anyone who is being transpbobic to Leo or mikey (or anyone really) (he would also do it to anyone being homophobic, but I like to think about him being protective over his siblings)

omg wait thats actually super cute 🥺😭💖 protective brother don is a really good don qwq

[sjbattleangel]

@samasmith23. You're spot on as usual, couldn't have said it better myself. Me to @ubernegro

How did G. Willow Wilson write Ms. Marvel like a "DC Comic"? That's stupid. It makes no scene. Plus, it had plenty of stakes and consequences: Such as Kamala and Bruno's fall-out, Zoe being outed by a cyberbully, to the entire Mecca story arc.

"Feels like a Johnny Test cartoon"? Just, no. One every single level, no. You are flat-out wrong! G. Willow Wilson's Ms. Marvel is nothing like "A Johnny Test cartoon"! It's a brilliantly written, coming-of-age masterpiece with with strong characters and compelling storylines that carries themes of identity, community, faith which all tie into Kamala's own personal life and growth. What am I saying? You barely read ANY of G. Willow Wilson's run! You just dismissed it as "garbage, sight unseen" due to your own personal grudge against her as a person. Because to you: She's some colonizer Karen who fetishizes POC and fakes being a Muslim as an excuse to shield herself from criticism and appropriate Islamic culture. Therefore, not only does her writing not count as "real representation", she doesn't count as a "real Muslim". Spare me that "No True Scotsman" gatekeeping garbage!

You and your friends (@Hellyeahheroes and others) personally attack creators like Dan Slott, Jason Aaron, Grant Morrison, Brian Michael Bendis, Donny Cates, Jonathan Hickman, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson and others. I know about how both of you called "hacks", "crypto-fascists", "racists" , "creeps", "perverts", "eugenists" (They are not!). I especially remember you attacking Cates, calling him a "misogynist", "homophobe" and "p*ssy. I have the receipts:

This isn't "criticism". This is just pure vitriol and cyberbullying. Way before you read any of their comics, you and HYH have always had a personal vendetta against Slott, Aaron, Cates, Bendis, Morrison, Snyder, Tynion, Williamson and others. Not as writers but as people. And ONLY as people. You have always hated them as people. Hated them for existing. Seriously, did they personally hurt you? Did they harm any of your loved ones? What happened? Did they push you into lockers at school? Did they run over your pets? Did they take a massive dump in the middle of your living room and demand you pay your entire life savings for it? Was emailing them countless death threats necessary? You and HYH live in this fantasy world where all these writers are these 1%-ter Elon Musk-billionaire Power Rangers villains who tore up your application forms, stole your "rightful places" as comic writers and dedicate themselves to making your lives a misery. That's all nonsense, these are writers are normal people like you and me, trying to make a living doing something they love whilst trying to get food on the table. (Seriously, writing comics isn't a wealthy job.) You don't have to like their work but to personality demonize them and send them death threats is unacceptable! You're not critics or champions of social justice, you're reactionary bullies. No better then the hate mongers you fight against.

Give my regards to Lily Orchard. Which reminds me, do you and HYH really want to support a woman who lied about having Indigenous heritage, emotionally, physically and sexually abused friends and family, accused a non-binary, bisexual Jewish woman (and descendent of Holocaust survivors) a "Fascist sympathizer", "Nazi apologist" and "Closeted Neo-Nazi?" If so, then both of you are even more vile then I ever realized.

Delete your posts, leave this fandom and never come back.

But before you both go, have a little leaving gift I made:

Why do fans hate Bruno from Ms. Marvel so much?

Back when I was still on Twitter and was reading Saladin Ahmed's run on Magnificent Ms. Marvel as it was being released on a monthly basis, something which really confused me was witnessing a fair number of Ms. Marvel fans talking about how they not only really disliked Kamala's childhood best friend Bruno Carrelli as a character, but even would go as far as to label Bruno as a "manipulative incel" and accuse his and Kamala's romance subplot in Magnificent Ms. Marvel as being "emotionally abusive."

Like... I've honestly never understood where these criticisms were coming from. Especially since I personally never got that impression of Bruno's character having read all 75-issues of G. Willow Wilson & Saladin Ahmed's initial runs. And while Ahmed did state in a tweet that the romance subplot between Bruno & Kamala was about "overcoming toxic pedestals," I still think a lot of the claims I've seen from fans that he somehow wrote Bruno as behaving like a manipulative incel or something is a massive stretch.

I personally took Ahmed's statement to instead mean that he was trying to convey that childhood-friendships-turned-teenage-romances don't always lead to the most healthy or naturally progressing relationships, especially one of them has an idealized version of the other even if both harbor similar romantic feelings for each other (which Kamala did for Bruno contrary to some fan claims).

And Kamala and Bruno both realized this and decided that even though things would always be weird between them, they should just "keep it weird but without the kissing" in Magnificent Ms. Marvel (2019) #15.

I always really loved this scene. Although I was personally a huge shipper of Kamala & Bruno as a couple, I honestly understood both of their perspectives about why they felt pursuing a romantic relationship together won’t work out them and feel they should just stay friends despite their feelings for one-another. Kamala acknowledges that she's not ready to commit to such a relationship since despite kissing Bruno she did so purely in a heat of passion when she was emotionally stressed due to outside factors like her Kree Stormranger Nanosuit negatively influencing her physical behavior to try and kill her nemesis Discord, as well as experiencing extreme grief and anger when her Abu dying in the hospital and receiving life-saving surgery and she was forced to go off and fight the supervillain Mister Hyde.

Conversely, Bruno realizes that the progression of his and Kamala's relationship has felt forced and unnatural due to him having an idealized version of Kamala in his head, and Kamala herself wasn’t ready to commit to romance due to all the hardships she was then-currently experiencing.

It's also worth noting that the worst thing Bruno did in Magnificent Ms. Marvel was briefly complain about them still not dating while on a trip to the state fair due to Kamala not being ready to do so despite previously kissing him, and angrily storming off (which he recognized was a mistake on his part in the very next issue).

But aside from that, Bruno never came across as particularly jerkish to me, since he never insulted or demeaned Kamala. And throughout Ahmed's run, Bruno was shown to be always willing to put Kamala's feelings and well-being into consideration. Whether it be helping her find her missing parents, comfort her when her father was dying, and saving her from being drowned by Stormranger.

Plus, it not like Kamala lacked any agency in their relationship, and she clearly held similar feelings towards him (both in Ahmed or Wilson's runs). And the fact that she and Bruno decided to simply remain friends felt very genuine and authentic to me when I read it.

So overall, the criticisms against Bruno always felt rather inflammatory to me, blowing the character's flaws wildly out of proportion to make him seem like the worst most unlikable irredeemable person ever.

I honestly just don't understand the outrage towards Bruno among other Ms. Marvel fans... I really don't...

to market, to market.

rottmnt gen fic, word count 2,618. contains early morning family routines, mentions of organic foods, nonsense magic, the author’s attempt at vague worldbuilding, and cute teens being semi-responsible.

presenting an rottmnt au i’ve been toying with the past few months and finally started to really figure out! i love human aus that include magic, so... have one for the boys + gal. <3

there’s notes after the ending about the au, and here’s the AO3 Version.

Saturday morning is farmer's market day. That’s been a staple in their home since forever. It’s the best place to buy not just cooking ingredients, but more specialized ingredients, too. From the stalls that are placed between others stalls in hairsbreadth spaces, stalls that no one else but their family and others like them can see.

Raph has always loved walking up to those impossible and amazing market stalls, from the time he was little. They fascinated him, even though their strangeness is commonplace in his life.

His brothers love them, too. They would all clamor at dad to hurry up with the boring shopping so they could go pick out their treats of the day. Curiosities in jars, paints that have brighter pigments than any other, sweets made with the soul essence of a sunny summer day or a cold winter’s eve- all those and a hundred other odds and bobs they can’t ever get enough of, even now.

Of course, this doesn’t make it any easier to get everyone going on a lazy Saturday morning.

Since their pops has made it very clear he’s not moving for love or good groceries today, no one even bothers to try dragging him out of bed. Instead, Mikey, who is always the first up unless Donnie just straight up didn’t sleep the whole night, shuffles into Raph’s bedroom shortly after his alarm clock goes off.

“Ged’up,” Mikey says blearily, leaning his weight on Raph’s stomach. Raph in turn groans tiredly, unwilling to move even though he knows they have to. All the good shit will be gone before noon, probably before eleven to be honest.

“What if we just… not eat for a few days?” Raph asks, not opening his eyes just yet. He just wants to sleep, just a few more hours…

“You’d probs eat one’a us if we didn’t get groceries,” Mikey replies. He yawns, and then says, “C’mon. We gotta get more meat n’ veggies an’ you were the one who made the dumb list for ‘em anyway. You want the good steaks to already be sold out by the time we get there?”

“…No. Hhhn… ‘kay, I’m comin’.”

“Good. I’m gonna go get the waffles goin’. You get the other two.”

After Mikey’s left, Raph sits up slowly, sighing as his bones shift and creak. His eyes sting with sleepiness, and as he rubs at them, Raph feels the slide of an extra eyelid opening and closing. He feels around inside himself, finding the remnants of a feline being enticing him back to sleep, complaining that he should be sleeping much, much longer than this, he’d been out most of the night and now it was nap time right now until it was time to hunt again…

Raph shakes himself, realizing he forgot to tuck that spirit back into his core all the way. He’d tired himself out last night, giving into how the late spring evening tugged at his therianthropy magic and having an adventure in the darkness, alive with the senses and joy of creatures that were at home there.

Breathing in, breathing out, Raph dispels the effects of that animal and feels less like he needs to curl up in his bed to sleep again.

It still sucks to get out from under his warm blankets and leave his bedroom to meet the day.

Leo’s room is the closest, so Raph wanders into his second brother’s bedroom first. He steps around the piles of clothes and stacks of books and an old spell circle carved into the floor, taking a seat on the end of Leo’s bed and shaking his brother by the leg.

“Leo. Dude. Up and at ‘em, we got grocery shopping to do.”

Leo groans pitifully, rolling onto his other side and scrunching himself against his silk pillow. “No… I don’t wanna go. You an’ Mike go, you don’t need… me…”

“It’s a group trip, Leon. No take-backsies for agreeing to it yesterday.”

Leo cracks one eye open, dark irises showing reluctance at waking fully. He then smiles, speaking as he does. “Raph… I don’t have to go to the farmer’s market… you and Mikey can handle it just fine without me… and you’ll bring back my favorite honey cookies, too…”

The warm lilt and tune of Leo’s voice almost gets to Raph, coaxing the suggestions to take over and erase his original purpose to being here. Except, Raph knows this feeling, knows he doesn’t have to listen and how to stop listening, and he pulls on a creature he rarely does. Pupils shifting, teeth molding together into three points, and a malleability to his skin spreading across it. He focuses the changes on his ears, the world’s volume lowering and Leo’s voice becoming fainter and fainter until it’s gone.

Raph waits for Leo to notice the change. His brother keeps trying to spell him a while longer, silent mouth rambling who knows what at Raph to get him to go away. It’s only when Leo opens his eyes again that he notes the gently glowing patterns emerging over Raph’s dark skin.

He scowls, saying something Raph can’t hear. Raph grins with his beak-teeth.

“Can’t hear you,” he says, not sure how clear his speech is right now, but he doesn’t really care. “Just get up and get downstairs before we eat all the eggos.”

He doesn’t have to hear his brother to know Leo mumbles a (non-magical) curse and puts his face into his pillow. Raph rolls his eyes and stands up, patting Leo’s back before he leaves. Raph rescinds the cephalopod spirit that’s made his bones less than solid, moving onto the next sibling he has to wake as his humanity takes full hold again.

The room is a disaster of Donnie-organization as usual, projects scattered everywhere with scrap notes in code taped to the wall haphazardly. Plus, Donnie is sleeping weird again. He’s ended up the wrong way around on his bed, feet on his pillow and head under the covers. Going by the nearby still open laptops with their sleep mode lights blinking, Donnie stumbled into bed after doing something or other far longer than he should have.

Raph peels the blankets off the second eldest of their family. Donnie’s lost his shirt at some point, revealing the spiralling seals on his back that keep his strength-sapping blood curse at bay. Thankfully, when they visit city pools, no one but other inhumans can see the tattoos. Otherwise, they’d probably get stopped every five seconds by some concerned parent who’s freaked out that a fourteen year old has them.

“Donnie,” Raph says, bending down and putting himself at eyelevel with his brother’s sleeping face. “Hey, hey Donnie. Wake up, dude. We’re going to the farmer’s market today, ‘member?”

Donnie doesn’t open his eyes, instead mumbling out, “01000110 01101001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01101101 01101111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101101 01101001 01101110 01110101 01110100 01100101 01110011.”

It’s always weird to hear that- how Donnie will say codes aloud but without actually sounding out how the numbers should be pronounced. Like it’s being beamed right into your brain or something. Raph is used to it enough he ignores the oddity of Donnie’s mix-up, reaching over to shake him. “Don, you know none’a us speak binary. Human languages only, please.”

With arduous effort, Donnie slurs out, “Ffffffive more minutesss…”

“I’ll give you ten seconds.”

“Noooo…”

Raph gets Donnie upright on his bed before he leaves. It takes shoving his brother’s favorite iPad into his hands and turning it on, letting the sentience Donnie has nurtured into existence in it finish waking its creator up.

Downstairs, Raph wanders into the kitchen with a yawn, having put on jeans that are mostly clean and an old t-shirt that smells like their home. He has to pull up short before he gets to the fridge, waiting for tiny flying dragons to finish carrying the butter from the counter. Following their path, a pair of large butterflies carries the syrup with their little feet towards the table.

There’s… also a child sized bipedal cat with three eyes and cowboy boots collecting the freshly popped eggos onto a plate. It glances at Raph briefly, nodding with a respectful but mysterious cat’s smile.

Raph blinks slowly, and lets it slide. Whatever Mikey has been conjuring lately, he never asks how his littlest brother came up with the ideas.

However, he can’t let slide him opening the fridge and getting a flurry of sparrow sized winged shrimp to the face.

“Fff- Mikey!” Raph snaps, turning to glare at his brother in the dining room on the other side of the counter. He shoos the remaining shrimp away from his head, feeling a tinge of the feline from earlier wanting to swat and bite them.

“Oops,” Mikey says sheepishly, holding out his arms for his creations to alight on him. They flap their wings and nuzzle their illustrare witch with their long antennae. “I was kinda wonderin’ where these guys got to last night. Guess they wanted to hang out with the real shrimp or something?”

Raph has been awake for all of fifteen minutes, and he feels tired again.

“…Please put them away, at least for breakfast.”

“Can do.”

Mikey’s sketchbook of the day, left on the far end of the table away from the syrup, flies open, pages flapping wildly. The shimpbirds become blurred and flat, losing their solidness and whisking through the air in streams of color. The sketchbook sucks them all back onto its pages, and then snaps shut again as Mikey’s magic fades.

Raph opens the fridge again, this time able to grab the apple juice without assault by flying decapods.

Leo and Donnie come into the kitchen not long after, dressed and slightly more awake. They take their share of the eggos from the plate Mikey’s conjured cat offers them, unbothered by the puss-in-boots knock off serving them, or by it turning into a stream of color to return to its sketchbook right after.

As they’re eating the first half of their breakfast- the next will be bought at the market, giving into the temptation of fresh baked goods sold there- Donnie’s phone gets a text.

“01000001 01110000 01110010 01101001 01101100 0010000001110111 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011 0010000001110100 01101111 0010000001110011 01100101 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100001,” it cheers at the top of its speakers, and everyone but Donnie covers their ears.

“They said April wants to meet us,” Donnie clarifies for all the non-technopaths in the room.

Leo rubs his temples, sighing at his twin. “That’s great, but Donnie, please tell your devices to stop doing that so early in the morning. Or at any time of the day?”

Donnie’s phone makes a screeching sound.

“They said ‘fuck off’,” Donnie translates, sipping his coffee.

Leo gives the little device a confusedly miffed look.

“Guys, guys,” Mikey says, making calming gestures, “we got places to be, newts and cabbages to buy. We don’t got time for breakfast fights with technology.”

Raph takes over the peacemaking, reinforcing it by saying, “Donnie, if you wanna talk with your tech, use headphones. Leo, get earplugs if you really gotta.”

The two middle children give each other a long look, before mutually and silently agreeing the fight isn’t one worth having and going back to being stalwart allies. Raph and Mikey exchange their own looks, silently thanking one another for helping defuse the situation before it became one.

Donnie arranges with April to meet them on the way to the market, and reminds their best friend to wear her enchanted choker so she can see what they do. She starts a group text to remind them in turn that she’s literally hasn’t taken it off since they gave it to her, and that she’s reminding them to not forget the spelled cloth bags they’ll need for the abnormal ingredients.

Raph sheepishly texts back a thank you for the reminder while Mikey hunts said bags down. They’re in Leo’s room this time around, having been left there after their family’s silvertongue witch went shopping for new spellwork inks.

They leave a plate of saran wrapped eggos with a note for their dad on the counter, since he’ll probably drag himself out of bed at some point close to noon. Better to have waiting food than to get a grumpy call from their hungry dad who wants someone to bring him home a complicated takeout meal.

April is waiting for them on a corner halfway to the market, leaning on a stop sign and scrolling through something her phone. Probably one of the chats on the supernatural enthusiast sites she follows. Sometimes they all have a good laugh over the ridiculous misconceptions people have about the inhuman members of society, and other times they get a heads up of which parts of the city to avoid for a while. It’s worth it to keep tabs on what the humans notice about NYC; there’s always the off chance someone really has seen a wayward rabid ghoul or a summons gone feral that’s entered the territory.

“Morning,” April greets pleasantly, perky as she pleases even though she probably slept less than all of them, excluding Donnie. Somehow- and they’re still trying to prove it is a supernatural gift- April is always, always energetic and awake, no matter how long or little she’s rested.

Leo eyes the half a bacon and eggs wrap she has in her hands, and he sidles up to her, grinning slyly. “April,” he says melodically, “that wrap looks like too much for you, you’re already too full to finish it, right? I can take it off your hands, don’t worry. I’ll do it as a favor to you.”

“Nice try, Leon,” April says, sneakily tugging on his long braids as revenge for the attempted charming. “You and I both know I can finish this and another three if I wanted.”

“One day,” Leo says with a pout as he yanks himself away from April’s light grip, “I’ll prove that you’re not completely human, because you are way too tiny to eat as much as you do.”

April smirks and bites into her breakfast wrap, ignoring the begging look Leo gives her.

“You’re both makin’ me hungry again,” Raph complains, and starts herding his family along the sidewalk. “C’mon, keep moving or I’ll pick you up and carry you.”

Mikey perks up. “Actually-”

He doesn’t even have to finish. Raph bends without a word, and his little brother hops onto him for a piggyback to the market. The sharpie scarabs he doodled onto his arms yesterday flutter their wings and take flight as they go, buzzing around their group swiftly and quietly, shining iridescently black in the morning sun and invisible to humans passing by. Leo whistles a brief tune at a few and convinces them to land on his hands, petting their carapace gently as possible. Donnie ignores them and shakes them off when they land on his short hair, while April sputters as one flies at her glasses out of curiosity for their reflectiveness.

Raph feels something slithery and cool slide into his ponytail of thin dreadlocks, and just sighs and lets it happen. Apparently, Mikey drew another collection of snakes somewhere on himself, too.

The market is bustling as they get there, the human community intermingling with the supernatural community without noticing. Early morning shoppers are walking around with bags bursting with produce and homemade creations- ranging from organically grown carrots to knitted summoning dolls, the faces of unspeakable beings peering out along with stalks of celery.

An average Saturday shopping crowd, then.

Raph and his family aren’t noticed in the least as they join it.

so i spent a long while poking at the idea of the brothers having magical abilities in a witch au (splinter too, but i haven’t learned enough about him in canon yet to decide properly) and came up with these possible types that make sense to me! 

(disclaimer: spec is not the person to ever ask about real magic. i just do whatever the hell i want with it in my writing because yo, it’s magic!!!)

raph has shapeshifting magic, drawing on internal power and connections with creatures he’s interacted with to change his body to fit the abilities of animals. inspired thusly bc he has nice pointy teeth in canon and bc he reminds me (’cause he’s Big) of Jin from Ran and the Grey World.

donnie can communicate with and manipulate technology. unless he withholds it, any piece of machinery he works with will a) never break down again, b) mysteriously always seem like new after you’ve taken it to him for repairs, and c) might potentially develop something of a sentience if he gets really invested in the projects. most of his personal computers have sassy little personalities now.

leo, so long as he believes wholeheartedly in what he’s saying, can change bits of reality just by talking it into doing so. if he recites poetry he made himself with enough intention to a stick, he could convince it to become a sword, or tell an alleyway to become a dead end to someone. mostly though, he just uses his magic to convince people of little things, like giving him a discount at the store, or letting him copy off someone’s homework.

mikey can give temporary life to artwork, be it sketches or paintings or murals or pottery or etc. by drawing on the devotion and emotion the artists put into the pieces. he mostly uses his own art, but since he’s got more magical juice/potential in him than all his brothers combined, if he’s pushed to it he could bring life to one of those massive murals on the sides of apartment complexes. mostly he just likes making little friends, though, haha.

april is purely human, but can and has gone toe to toe with supernatural beings and kicked their asses. she’s never had any trouble keeping up with her witch buddies, and they, of course, love their semi-adopted big sister being around as much as she loves them being with her.

uhhhhh... more to come of this at some point? zshrug, i hope other people here love witches too.

(also... pls consider buying me a kofi.... i promise i shall reward the gift with frequent fics...)
