mmm i have idea but I can never actually use it cuz i'd have to set it up and also it sounds weird but im puttin it here with all my other weird thoughts
so like what if in a 'you bring the boys home dynamic' we have a y/n who they discover is not nearly as energetic as they are at work. Like, this y/n is usually upbeat in the daycare, constantly talking and laughing and messin around with the kids. And now the boys are just tryna fit that picture into the tired, mentally drained, accidentally put milk in the pantry person in front of them.
And sometimes they do, they do see that old excitement on your face, they notice your short bursts of energy where you talk enthusiastically about something with them. But the tiredness is just as instantaneous: you could be laughing and making jokes with them one minute, and the next you've gone quiet with that thousand yard stare in your eyes.
The boys find this sudden shift in attitude...unnerving. It's not like you, you don't act like this. You're always bubbly and cheerful and full of life! Seeing you like this just feels wrong to them, like they're watching something they're not really supposed to be seeing.
So they try to figure it out. They drag you out of the house more, try to steer you away from using your phone. They start insisting on going to the store with you, and then try to make the trip more fun. Peeking through clothing aisles and surprising you, grabbing something you need off the shelf..the little things. And it does lift your spirits a little, but you still revert to that sad little shell eventually.
They learn to accept is as simply a part of you that they cannot change. They do try to help in any way they can, except for Moon who masks his care as messing around with you because he can't deal with emotions and 'pshh no i didn't make breakfast with you because it was fun i just got tired of the smoke filling up the house cuz you don't know how to turn on the airhood don't start getting ideas'. But they'll do their part in their own little way. Sun might join you on the couch and fish the remote out of your hands to switch the the kids channel. Moon challenges you to a game of Monopoly at night and you win (he let you but he'd never admit it). And when you're feeling down, they're there with you, draping a blanket over your shoulders or pressing a cup of tea into your hands or letting you slump against them when it's inevitably too much and you have to drown out the noise in your head in their hoodie as they run their fingers through your hair silently.
They don't tell you it's going to be okay. They don't like to make promises they know they can't keep. So they just stick around until your mood brightens and you decide to get off the couch because you need to do something with your hands so that you don't go insane. They'll suggest that batch of cookies that you tried to make last week, because those didn't turn out too bad even if you did add a bit too many chocolate chips and then you'll shoot them that incredulous look they love so much and reply with much more confidence that no you added the perfect amount you can never have too many chocolate chips and they'll let you have it because they enjoy the back-and forth banter just as much as you do, they're just as relieved for the company as you are, and so the three of you can be heard bickering about proportional amounts of chocolate for a little while until you're feeling much better.
So no, it's not okay. But you're all getting there.

Why is there a stigma against being inspired?
I've seen it said, "This character's creator will never do them as much justice as some fans," and I never thought much of it. But tonight it crossed my mind, and I thought,
"A character is a really personal thing though, no one should be told their creative vision shouldn't even be theirs."
So instead of trying to CPS someone's character, just... be inspired by them. It's okay to be inspired by media, people, or ideas that you don't think highly of. Art is meant to inspire! And you don't even have to admit that you were inspired by it, if you really don't want to.
I personally like looking back and seeing where the characters, stories, and ideas that I created and love have changed from their original sources of inspiration(s). Unrecognizable, I say! But no less a product of the wonder that is art inspiring art.

Okay this isn't like probably something worth your time but I wanna say it cause it is about Raph and I talked to my brother about it yesterday and thought you'd like to hear it
So as far as I've seen, in Rise, Raph seems to have a hard time with animals, or at least that's what the fandoms given since Mayhem didn't or isn't a fan of him (excuse me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile since I've last watched rottmnt and my memory is always funky, I just remember based off the first episode)
Anyways, I had this realization (and it's not a first probably, but y'know), that a reason animals don't like him/attack him is because they see him as a threat. He's an alligator snapping turtle, that's enough reason alone to get hostile, but being a mutant on that? We've seen him ofc, he's huge, to animals he's a predator of all sorts!
Poor guy loves them and they're afraid cause to them, he might just eat them
It's not some analysis work, honestly I'm probably thinking too hard considering again I've only seen what the fandoms done and Mayhem attacking (and that alone could be because they were afraid entirely cause, well, the entire episode they're being chased), I also guessed it was suppose to be some joke considering 2012 Raph is great with animals, but my nd brain can't sit still on the little things without wanting to add to it, so ig technically knowing it's probably just the fandom doing it's thing rather than canon, that this is my take on the idea (not original, I'd add, haven't seen anything on it having to do with what he is but I ain't taking chances/lh)
oh yeah I’ve seen this before!! i also think it’s interesting to note bc in the first ep he’s literally cooing over mayhem (guhhh i love him so much *sobs*)
and then proceeding to b like “what? animals love me” i think i don’t remember the line exactly
but still
the thought of him being like aaa!! cute animal!! and then said animal growling/being hostile with him bc he looks so threatening even without meaning to (LIKE. SPIKES. BEEG.) makes me a bit emo ngl
also. any raph ask while I’m in this fandom is absolutely worth my time. i can talk about this big ass turtle and how much i adore him for hours
