Reservations for Two 🌹

"Right this way, Mr. Hollingsworth..."

ohhh i think pickles is such a fucking whore when he wants to be. that man knows he’s hot, he knows people want him and uses it to his advantage. I think he’s more forward with the women he sleeps with, he’s touching them subtly once he knows for a fact they’re interested in him. He’s holding them, squeezing their sides as he talks to their friends. He’s standing behind them, pressed up to their back so they can feel him before they hurry off to some corner of the house to fuck. He’s telling them how he saw those eyes from across the room, he saw them eye fucking him and it turned him on. It’s always fun for him to watch them blush and squeal and gasp.

I think with Nathan specifically (nickles truthing today for my mental health) he’s more the teasing type, he’ll leave a lingering touch to his lower back that Nathan tries to not over think. They’ll be drinking together and pickles will look at Nathan, his eyes are lustful but his demeanor is playful and loose, so Nathan decides it’s just the booze making him think like that. Nathan finds himself hot with jealousy when he’s got a girl or another guy hanging on his every word, touching them the way he touches Nathan, and Pickles will look at him mid conversation with them, give him a wink before turning back to whoever he’s with and it just fans the fire in Nathan’s stomach.

But when the roles are reversed, and Nathan comes onto him, Pickles is submissive and teasing. Nathan will corner him in the studio once everyone else leaves and he’s locked the door. Pickles can see the lust in his blown out pupils, feel it radiating off of his body as a huge palm is splashed over the wall next to his head. He’ll play hard to get, act cool and give Nathan that lopsided smile and pretend he doesn’t feel his dick twitch. He’ll ask Nathan what he wants, a hand reaching out to toy with one of the loops on his belt, his hand grazing over the already prominent bulge Nathan’s sporting. He’ll act surprised by the passionate kiss Nathan gives him, pressing him against the wall so hard Pickles thinks they might go through it.

He’s so submissive, even, that it becomes a ritual. He’ll do something to make Nathan jealous, bring home some dark haired groupie and fuck her loud into the next morning knowing Nathan can hear. He’ll watch Nathan eye him at a bar when another man gets too comfortable, laying a hand on his lower back as he orders their drinks. He loves seeing the metaphorical flames that follow Nathan when he’s jealous, playing this game of prey and predator. Because he knows as soon as he’s alone with Nathan, those green eyes will look at him like he’s a piece of meat for the taking. Hell rip him to shreds before building him back up, making sure each piece is just the way it was before.

Headcanons: ROTTMNT Turtles Chirping (and Other Turtle Sounds)🎤🐢✨✨ pt. 1

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: If you're actually taking care of a real turtle, please be mindful of the noises they make! Chirps can come from stress, water temp, respiratory infection, etc. Yes, they can come from non-concerning reasons, but just be sure. IRL turtles don't have vocal chords! And also, several of these traits are taken from very different turtle species than our boys here!

Now that that's said, on to the headcanons!

The turtles can all make turtle sounds! Being half-human mutants (with actual vocal chords, teeth, human saliva, etc.) and isolated from other turtles besides each-other, their range/capabilities of and reasons for using these sounds differ— sometimes greatly—from their IRL turtle species counterparts.

The turtles accidentally created their own sort of pseudo-language that they use to communicate with each other. Chirps, trills, hums, clicks, etc. When words won't come out or they don't feel right to use, when traditional ASL— even their modified TSL (turtle sign language)— wouldn't suffice, it's something they easily fall into. Almost as easy as thinking itself.

Besides unconscious/automatic responses + occasional stimming, they hadn't used their turtle sounds as much as they did as kids. They still use it a couple times a day, typically over the dinner table, during movies, or whenever there was a turtle pile. But after Shredder, and especially after the Kraang's attempted invasion, it's something they've began to do more again.

When the turtles still couldn't form sentences, Splinter had went ham on trying to understand what each means. After guides on pet turtle care didn't do much for him, he was attentive and assumed based off their more humanlike behaviors that accompanied these sounds.

Nowadays, Splinter can't really decipher most of the new noises his sons make. He can still understand some smaller phrases: "Happy," "Sorry," "I want my family," "Stay," "Love you," "Scared," "Yes," "No," and "Hungry!" to name a few.

Raph didn't make many turtle noises when he was a baby, mostly making more humanlike ones. Though he did mew a lot when he was sick or if he had nightmares in his slumber. In addition to that, there's a specific low-frequency hum that only the other turtles could actually hear; typically made during sleepy and/or someone stressful moments. It's both an "I'm right here" and "Come here please" message.

Donnie grunted, though it came off more like a huff as a little one. His chirps sounded more like "cht. cht. cht." When he's thinking hard or feeling a little overwhelmed, he'll also emit a low-frequency hum, one only he could hear— unless he's spending time underwater with Leo, then he could hear it as well. He also hissed a lot. Especially on the days where he's clingy. There's 3 types of Donnie hisses: mildly bothered, "you're pushing it," and "I will actually bite you." How you figure out which is which? For Splinter, trial and error.

Baby Leo really worried Splinter because he kept chirping all the time. He thought that Leo had a respiratory issue and/or was under heavy stress from the sewers' conditions. It really didn't help that Leo got sick the easiest. And when distressed, he'd cry out sounding almost like an upset cat— not really helping with the respiratory infection theory. Turns out, Leo just chirped as a general form of communication, especially when he was feeling excited or happy.

Like Raph, Mikey didn't make a lot of turtle-like noises as a baby— but when he grew into a toddler— he did it a lot. He wore his emotions on his sleeve, and almost every sentence with punctuated with an companying sound. Usually clicks or something similar to a "yep!"/"yp!" sound with his beak.

Leo and Donnie were the most turtle-talkative out of them as babies n' tots. Heck, sometimes, the Disaster Twins™ would sometime just mimic each other's mews and chirps out of boredom (to which Mikey would follow suit, and eventually Raph too).

Splinter, Leo, and Mikey are the only ones who've ever heard Raphael hiss so loud and deep that it turned into a growl.

Raphael is the only one who's ever heard Leo hiss pre-Kraang.

Early on into knowing them, April asked about it. The day after they explained it to her, Donnie and Mikey began working on a "guide" comic together for some of the "basics." It's 40 pages long when they give it to April. As the years passed, she catches on pretty quickly to the various sound cues, and she can have short conversations without them needing to use words.

Casey Junior can understand them pretty well due to being raised around them— when he was small, he would try to mimic those noises (to varying results).

He may or may not have almost cried when he was in the Hamato-family-sleepy-pile and could feel the deep, comforting, low frequency sound reverberating from Raph as he and Leo rested against him— something he hadn't felt since he was just old enough to form memories. And he may have actually cried when Leo sleepily chirped back some sort of unintelligible, but content, response. They were peaceful.

Sometimes I wonder how Takabe got free of being a “guest” at Restaurant Row. Like did he break free during the chaos of the coup? Did Zhao let him go? If so then what did he say to the Captain?

40oz to freedom by Sublime is young Pickles coded.

like, he’s freshly 21. Snakes n Barrels may have just disbanded. He’s got a van he lives out of cause he hates staying in one place too long, he’s going out and doing random hookups just because he’s Pickles from Snakes N Barrels. omg.

Some of those hookups try to keep coming back, but they realize very quickly that he’s got a drinking problem. You always see him with some sort of drink in hand, the only time he's sober for more than an hour is when he's driving to the next town for however long he wants to be there for.

i think he really does start to fall for one of his hookup partners at some point. They spend a few weeks together drinking, doing whatever drugs pickles can get his hands on, smoking in the back of his van on the ratty mattress he’s got back there. It doesn’t last long, something happens between them and there’s a big argument and pickles leaves town the next morning.

This cycle (excluding the drinking) stops after he finds Nathan and Dethklok forms. They use that van as their tour van for a while until it dies and they scrap it. It’s bittersweet for Pickles to let it go, but he does either way.
