Title: Hockey Challenge: TMNT-Event-Blog’s “Snow Day Play” Bingo Card (Leonardo) Prompt: Hockey  Fandom:  TMNT 2003 Word Count: 579  Author: aquietwritingcorner/realitybreakgirl Rating: PG/K+  Characters: Leonardo, Casey Jones Warning: NA Summary: April certainly didn’t expect this when it came to a certain turtle in blue, and hockey.    Notes: Ten points to whoever can correctly guess where I pulled all the hockey players’ names from. (Hint: it wasn’t from hockey players)    AO3 || ff.net

Hockey

“Whoo! Yeah! That’s right! That was a great shot!” Casey cheered out.

“A great shot?” Leo shot back. “He only got that shot because there wasn’t a penalty called!”

“A penalty?” Casey looked over at Leo like he was crazy. “How in all a’ everything can you think that needed a penalty!”

Leo gestured at the ice. “Oh, come on! That wasn’t a check! That was obviously too aggressive to be a check!”

“If you think Williams can’t handle a baby check like that, then maybe he needs to get off the ice!” Casey shot back.

“Oh yeah?” Leo said. “Look at Braginsky’s record! He had a history of ‘accidentally’ injuring his opponents! The refs are biased!”

“You just can’t handle that your team is doin’ bad this year!” Casey shot back. “You shoulda never traded Vainamoinen!”

“Yeah? Well at least we didn’t lose Oxenstierna!” Leo shot back. “He left on his own!”

“You take that back!” Casey said, bristling.

“Why?” Leo challenged. “You know it’s true!”

From her kitchen, Raph, Don, Mikey and April watched as the verbal argument broke down into name calling, Leo and Casey getting in each other’s faces, spouting out figures, stats, and rumors about hockey teams and players.

April blinked. “Huh,” she said. “I never would have guessed that Leo of all people would get this worked up over a hockey game.” She glanced at them. “Honestly, I’d have thought it would be Raph.”

“Nah, I like football better than hockey,” Raph said.

“Still,” April said. “Leo? Really?”

“Oh, he’s always liked hockey,” Mikey said. “I just don’t think he’s ever had anyone to yell about it with before.” He cocked his head to the side as he watched Leo and Casey move incrementally closer together. “I think he’s having fun.”

“It started when we were kids,” Don explained. “Leo was having a hard time with math, and we had recently gotten a TV.”

“He means, that he had found a TV, fixed it, and figure out how to get signal,” Raph said.

“Best day of my life,” Mikey said, putting a hand over his heart and looking up dramatically.

“Anyway,” Don said, giving his brothers a look, “we very quickly discovered sports and were immediately hooked. In an effort to get Leo to practice his math more, Master Splinter gave Leo the task of watching various sporting events and keeping track of the points. But the only sport that was really playing regularly at the time was hockey.” Don shrugged. “It worked to build his math skills, but it also got him invested in the game. He’s been a fan ever since.”

“Interesting,” April said, “I—”

Whatever she was going to say was cut off by the sound of a plastic bowl and snacks hitting the floor, and furniture scraping.

“Hey!” she yelled, immediately heading towards Casey and Leo who were tussling now. “Not in my living room! I’m not afraid to kick either of you out!”

The tussling immediately stopped as both Leo and Casey looked up at April from the floor. Hand on her hips, she tore into them about spilling things in her home lecturing them even as they let go of each other and started picking up the snacks. Of course, it didn’t stop the muttering under their breath at each other as they threw insults back and forth when they thought April couldn’t hear them—and it definitely didn’t stop their grins as they did it.

Welcome to TMNT Write Fight! 

TMNT Write Fight is a gift exchange event, inspired by @artfight and @phicphight. 

Unlike other gift exchanges, you will not be assigned a specific person to exchange with, instead you will be assigned a clan. You earn points for your clan by writing fics based off of other people’s prompts. You can attack by writing for a prompt from the other clan (1 point per 10 words) or ‘spar’ by writing for a prompt from your own clan (1 point per 20 words). Clans will be randomised, but don’t let that stop you from writing for whoever you want. Though, there will be a small point bonus if a clan writes for all of the opposing clan’s prompts, so keep that in mind if you’re looking through the list.

When signing up for the event, all you have to provide is your name, your tumblr username, and at least one prompt. It’s completely okay if you join the event and not write a single word. You can even ask to change the prompts, as long as it is before the list of prompts has been posted.

It’s framed as a competition, yes, but we’re all here to have some fun and write stuff. Completely no pressure!

Sign-ups will be today (August 24th) through September 1st. They will be open afterwards, but it will likely take some time to be added to the event.

Sign Up Here

Submit Attacks Here

Prompts

Discord

Asks are welcome if you have any more questions about the event.

The rules for creating your prompts below the cut.

No Smut. 

No TCEST.

No hateful content (homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.)

No iteration/character bashing, we’re here to have fun, people.

Any ocs must have public content to go off of, no creating ocs inside of a prompt. 

Keep your prompts 1-4 sentences long. 

Crossovers are only allowed if they exist within pre-existing media (Power Rangers comic, Usagi, the Batman movie, etc.)

Prompts about specific aus (things with fics or comics or dedicated blogs and such) can only be submitted by their creators.

Emoji Dress-up! (TMNT Fandom Family Reunion Fashion Show event!)

Let's dress up this turtle emoji for the Fandom Family Reunion fashion show, shall we?

This is a turtle emoji! We're gonna call him Carl. Because he looks like a Carl, doesn't he? (I got him from HERE)

Carl feels like playing dress-up in honor of fashion week. What will Carl decide to wear as he struts his stuff down the runway?

And to start us all off, Carl's coming in hot dressed as a charred but totally adorable Smokey from the Sparky AU by @belleyellsaboutturtles! With a bonus Sparky, who seems to really dislike clothes. (Cabin 15)

Time for Carl to turn that smile upside down as he changes into the look of the incredibly cool Foot Captain from @v-albion's True Colors AU! And Carl strikes an unamused pose! (cabin 14)

Speaking of cool, Carl straps on some Citadel fashion as Mikhail from @chessman-protocol's Covert AU! (Cabin 14)

Carl's a big fan of sunglasses, so he makes sure to flash them as he walks down the runway as @karonkar and @owliedoesnothing's Fear's Embrace OC Marco in his usual apocalyptic style! (Cabin 13/Cabin 14 Counselor)

Carl really enjoys dressing up as @twignotstick's character Mikey/Scout! That smile charms us all. (Cabin 14)

And now our turtle emoji friend is making another drastic color choice, as he changes into It's A Complicated Equation Donnie by @leilanising! Look at that tail! (cabin 14)

After a quick jump into the shower to wash off that blue, Carl is back to take the fashion world by storm as the cheery Mikey from @justalittleobsessed's Move Along AU! Check out his stylish mask tails. What a fashion statement! :D (Cabin 15)

@banana-pancake5's Donnie has been through a lot in the Letter From My Future Self AU, but he keeps moving forward! Carl strikes a pose. (Cabin 11)

Fashion goes metaphysical as Carl takes a spin as the adorably tragic Leo (a.k.a. Spirit) from @wandering-ghost's Ghost of the Past AU! (Cabin 14)

Carl puts on some pink for @icequeenabby (and @bluefeather-tmnt)'s super cool OC Billie Hamato from Too Many Turtles! (cabin 9)

Time for Carl to take a walk on the wild side as Donju from the Good Genes, Thick Hides AU, the brainchild of cadoodledoodleydoo and languajix on the blog @clawsandpaws-creativearchive! (cabin 15)

Carl is rocking it as the awesome and very stylish Donnie from Starry TMNT by @just-another-tired-gay-artist! (Cabin 14)

@itzzaira's 2018 Mikey has been through a lot, so Carl bandages up his arms for this one, wishing Mikey good luck with healing up! (Cabin 10)

And last but not least, Carl makes another apocalyptic fashion choice as he takes on Mike from my Hold Every Memory AU! (An AU of Ghost in the Shell by Amevello Blue, which, as I always say, please check out if you haven't read it! Our buddy Carl is almost as big a fan as I am.) (Cabin 14, myself)

And with that, Carl changes back into his normal outfit to take a bow!

(And for anyone with an AU/OC character in here, enjoy your emojis! Use them wherever you'd like - discord, texting, etc! Have fun! If you would like anything tweaked let me know; I've kept all the original files and it's no problem at all to correct anything.)

Hot Chocolate

@tmnt-event-blog

Title: Hot Chocolate Challenge: TMNT-Event-Blog’s “Snow Day Play” Bingo Card (Leonardo) Prompt: Hot Cocoa  Fandom: TMNT 2003 Word Count: 3044  Author: aquietwritingcorner/realitybreakgirl Rating: K/G  Characters: Leonardo Warning: NA Summary: It was a well-known fact among all their family and friends that you did not let Leonardo into the kitchen. Unless it was to make hot chocolate.    Notes: Milk will boil over fast, that’s a fact. Never take your eyes off of it.  AO3 || ff.net

_______________________________________________  

Hot Chocolate

It was a well-known fact among all their family and friends that you did not let Leonardo into the kitchen. Except for a few very specific things, he was a jinx when it came to the kitchen. If he simply walked in while someone was cooking, there was a good chance that either something was going to go wrong or that an appliance might figure that it was better to take itself out than risk Leo getting his hands on it.

This was one of many reasons both Donatello and Michelangelo had him practically banned from the kitchen. Mikey wanted his appliances, and Don wanted to stop fixing said appliances.

There were, of course, a few exceptions to this. If it required no cooking, he was fine. If it was microwavable, he could probably be trusted, those three times notwithstanding. If you needed something sliced and diced, he was your turtle. If he was making tea, there was literally no problem, and you would probably come out of it with the best tea of your life.

However, other than that? No, Leonardo was to be kept out of the kitchen. Even when he was doing the aforementioned activities, a strict eye was kept on him, just in case. He just couldn’t be trusted in the kitchen, even when he seemingly did everything exactly right.

Except for one other, singular, and mystifying exception.

It only happened in the winter, and it was the only thing that his family actually wanted him to make. They would, at times, beg him to make it, and he would, eventually, cave, and make his family the best hot chocolate they had ever had.

The prevailing theory as to why he could do it was that it was in his approach. Leonardo approached making hot chocolate the same way he approached making tea. It was all about getting the balance of flavors just right. Because of that, his hot chocolate was the best around. It was always sweet, without being overly so, and creamy, without feeling like you gave up any of the chocolate flavor. How he managed to do that with even just two percent milk and Nesquik powder was a mystery, but it was one that everyone just happily accepted.

However, the real treat when it came to his hot chocolate only happened at Christmas time. That was when he made his specialty hot chocolates, ones suited for each member of his family. He made them with nearly the same level of respect that he gave the tea ceremony, and it always turned out to be the most delicious thing that anyone ever tasted.

Leonardo was, admittedly, a bit proud of that.

Making his specialty hot chocolates was a process, but one that he gladly threw himself into. Everyone in his family had a different way that they liked their hot chocolate, especially when it came to the sweetness level, and Leo wanted to make the perfect mug for each of them. It had taken some trial and error, but after years of this, and access to better and better ingredients, he was pretty sure he had created the perfect mug for each member of his family.

Currently, he was starting up his process as a treat for Christmas Eve. No one else was in the kitchen, and, leaving Leo free to confidently pull out a saucepan and his ingredients. He laid everything out, having it within reach, and then he started. A small amount of whole milk went into the saucepan first, and he set it on a low heat, not wanting it to boil over or scorch. He’d warm it incrementally to prevent that. Then he turned his attention to the best quality melting chocolate that April had been able to find him.

He started with the dark chocolate. He took off a small piece and tasted it. It had a bitterness to it, which was what he was expecting. Nodding to himself, he took some and put it in a small microwavable bowl, heating it up. He didn’t need much for this first batch. Just enough to make about three mugs of hot chocolate.

Watching the chocolate carefully, he pulled it out when it was at the consistency that he wanted and took it over to the stove. The milk was starting to warm, and Leo bumped the heat up a little bit. Then he carefully poured the melted dark chocolate into the saucepan, stirring and mixing the two together until the liquid in the saucepan was a nice, rich, brown color. He bumped the heat up bit by bit, warming the concoction slowly. It was getting close to a boil when he dipped a spoon in, tasting it. It was just right for Leatherhead and Leo removed the saucepan from the heat, pouring the liquid into a mug that Don had assured him would keep anything warm or cool for hours.

Once it was poured, he reached over, turning the burner on the stove back down, and sat the saucepan with the remaining hot chocolate in it back on it, to keep it warm. He slid the mug under a warming light that Don had set up for him, and then turned his attention back to the saucepan.

He added more whole milk to the saucepan and started to bump the heat back up. While it was warming again, Leo took a good chuck of the milk chocolate melting chocolate and broke it up before putting it in a bowl. Again, he tasted a small part of it, so he’d have an idea of the sugar content, and then put it in the microwave. Keeping a close eye on it and on the saucepan, Leo melted the chocolate to a point that he was content with. Again, he took the bowl, and gently poured and scraped the melted chocolate into the saucepan. The rest of these mugs of hot chocolate would be more milk chocolate based, but Leo knew that Don, Splinter, and himself would enjoy the little bit of bitterness that the dark chocolate would add to it.

Stirring the saucepan carefully to keep it from scorching, Leo once again worked the chocolate into the milk, bumping the heat up bit by bit again. This time, though, he added a bit of sugar to the mix, sweetening the mixture a little. He didn’t add too much, though, not for this next mug. Once again, he continued to stir until the mixture was getting close to a boil. He dipped the spoon in again to taste it. It was sweet, but the sugar wasn’t overpowering, and he could still taste some of the bitterness of the dark chocolate.

Nodding to himself, Leo once again, pulled the saucepan off of the stove and poured some of the concoction into a mug. He quickly sat the saucepan down, turning the eye back to simmer, and turned his attention to the mug he had just poured. It was still quite warm, which was good. He picked up a bottle of room temperature peach syrup and added just a dash of it into the hot chocolate. Don’s favorite flavor was peach, and this little bit in there always pleased him. He stirred it around, making sure it was all mixed in and not settled on the bottom, and took another small taste. The hint of peach was perfect, and, satisfied, He put that mug under the warming light as well.

The next mug he was going to make was his own, and Leo bumped the heat back up on the saucepan and added more sugar. He definitely liked more sugar than Don did, but not too much. Again, he spent time stirring the liquid, making sure that it didn’t scorch. If it did, he’d have to start all over again, and that wasn’t something that Leo really wanted to do. So, he watched it carefully and, when it seemed close to a boil, again dipped a spoon in it to taste it.

As this was his mug, he could adjust it as he wanted, and he added in a touch more sugar, stirring it in carefully. After he was sure it was stirred in well he, again, tasted the hot chocolate. This time it was more to his liking, and, bringing another mug over, he poured some of it out. Again, he turned down the eye to a simmer, sitting the saucepan back on the eye, and turned his attention to his mug. He reached for a small packet that he had laying nearby, and carefully he added the blend of chai spices to the chocolate, stirring it in carefully. This mug he took a good sip of and hummed to himself, pleased.

He put his mug under the heating light and turned his attention back to making the next mug. This one was for Master Splinter, and he took pride in getting this one just right. He bumped the heat up on the burner again and added a little more sugar to the saucepan. In years past, Splinter had taken less sugar in his than Leo did, but as the rat grew older, so did his sweet tooth. It was always a guessing game just how much sweetness he would want. It was never anything overpowering, but it was always just incrementally more than the year before. It meant that Leo tasted this one several times before he decided that it was the right level of sweetness.

When he was finally satisfied, however, he poured some into a mug, turned down the eye, put the saucepan back on it, and then went to add his final touches to Splinter’s mug. Picking up a small bottle of mint extract, he added a couple of drops, stirring it in. Getting the balance between sweet and mint was the trickiest part of Splinter’s mug, and Leo took his time in making sure that it was just right. It took him three different taste tastes, but he was eventually satisfied with the balance.

Leaving it under the warming light, he got started on April’s mug next. For hers, he didn’t need more sugar, but more milk. She enjoyed a creamier tasting hot chocolate, and so, carefully, Leo poured more milk into the saucepan, bumping the heat up bit by bit. The trick to this was not to thin out the chocolate too much, but to add just enough milk to make it a little creamier. Leo had to pay special attention to this, as the addition of more milk made the whole thing more likely to boil over.

Judging more by color and smell than when it was ready to boil, Leo finally took a taste of the chocolate, swishing it around in his mouth to figure out if it was creamy enough. Finally deciding it was, Leo pulled over another mug, and poured the hot chocolate into it. He slid it under the warming light, and, again, turned the heat down on the eye and put the saucepan back on it.

This time, though, he turned his attention back to the melting chocolate. He broke some of it off, and then broke that into smaller pieces, once again melting it in the microwave. When it was ready, he pulled it out, and took it over to the saucepan, adding it to the mixture. Raph wanted a richer flavor, and Leo mixed in the new chocolate, giving him that. He watched as the liquid turned darker, stirring it to make sure that it all mixed well, and then added in some more sugar. Once again, Leo waited until the chocolate was nearly at a boil before he tasted it.

He found it perfect for Raph, and he quickly removed the saucepan, pouring it into a mug. Turning down the eye to simmer again, and setting the saucepan on it, Leo reached for the cayenne he had waiting and added just a pinch to the mixture. He stirred it around and took a small taste. Leo made a face, as he wasn’t fond of his chocolate being spicy, but Raph would enjoy it, so he slid it with the other mugs under the warming light.

Turning back to the stove, Leo once again bumped the heat up, and then added a hefty dose of sugar to the mixture. He stirred carefully, it taking a little bit of time for the sugar to work its way in to his satisfaction. Again, he let the concoction get close to a boil, and then tasted it. It was very sugary, more than he preferred by far, but he knew that Casey enjoyed that sugary sweet taste in his hot chocolate.

He pulled yet another mug over, pouring the liquid into it. Bumping down the heat once more and setting the saucepan on it, Leo made a face as he reached for some Hershey’s syrup and squirted a liberal amount of it into the mug. With a sigh, he stirred it in, making sure that the syrup didn’t settle at the bottom of the mug. He tasted it, shaking his head a bit, but pushed the mug under the warming light.

Now it was time for Mikey’s hot chocolate. Leo took the remaining melting chocolate, and broke it up, putting it in the microwave, stopping it every so often to stir before putting it back in longer so that all of it would be melted. Once that was done, he pulled out the rather full bowl, and carried it back over the saucepan, dumping the chocolate into the mixture and bumping up the heat. He stirred it, very concerned about the chocolate scorching, but once he was sure it was fine, he reached for the sugar, adding in far more than was healthy.

All of this made the hot chocolate a bit thick, but Mikey claimed that he liked it that way, so Leo stirred it in. This time, he mostly relied on smell to let him know when it was ready. He took a small taste of it, grimacing at the overpowering sweetness, but poured it into the remaining mug anyway.

This time Leo sat the saucepan on an eye that was off and turned off the one that was on. That part of the hot chocolate was finished, but he hadn’t added on the garnishes yet. Turning his attention to the mugs that were sitting under the warming light, Leo reached for them one by one to add a few final touches before loading them onto a tray to take out to his family.

For Leatherhead, he added a touch of sea salt. It would give him a bit more of the savory feeling that he liked, but also bring out the taste of the chocolate. He added a small dollop of whipped cream on Don’s, drizzling a little more of the peach syrup on it. He added a little whipped cream to his, as well, and some to Splinter’s, although he also added in a sprig of mint to his father’s mug. In April’s he added in some lavender marshmallows he’d been saving for this. Raph also got some whipped cream, with a little more cayenne sprinkled on top. For Casey he added a handful of tiny marshmallows, the kind that came in instant hot chocolate packets. Mikey’s cup was given regular mini marshmallows, enough to hide the chocolate, enough whipped cream that neither the hot chocolate or the marshmallows could be seen, and chocolate sprinkles added on top.

Leo stepped back and looked at the cups of still warm hot chocolate, and nodded to himself, satisfied. They seemed perfect, but only a taste test would truly tell. Quickly putting everything away and putting the saucepan and chocolate bowl in the sink with water, Leo turned off the warming light and picked up the tray of hot chocolate.

“Hot chocolate’s ready,” he said as he walked out and towards the rest of his family, who were all busy fixing some decorations that Klunk had knocked down earlier.

“About time, bro,” Raph said, lowering the hammer he was using. “I was beginning to think that you were just avoiding the work.”

“I don’t care if he was avoiding the work!” Mikey said, immediately abandoning what he was doing and rushing towards Leo. “Gimmie that sugary goodness!”

“You mean your sludge?” Don said, finishing securing some garland. “I don’t know how you drink that, Mikey.”

“Aww, lay off ‘im,” Casey said, holding the ladder as Don climbed down. “I tried a sip once. It ain’t that bad.”

“You have no room to talk, Casey Jones,” April said, turning from where she’d been hanging ornaments back up. “You’d drop a cheap chocolate bar in hot milk and be satisfied.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Casey protested.

“I, too, do not understand how Michelangelo drinks his hot chocolate,” Leatherhead said.

“My sons, my daughter, my friend,” Splinter interrupted. “Perhaps we should just be grateful to Leonardo for applying his skills in this manner, finding way to make some that suit us all.”

“It’s not a problem, Master Splinter,” Leo said as he started passing out the hot chocolate. “I enjoy doing this for everyone.”

“I know,” Splinter said as he took his mug. “But we should still all be grateful that you choose to do it for us.”

“Considering it a gift to all of you,” Leo said with a smile.

“Ah—perfect as always, Leo,” Raph said.

“It’s the perfect time to turn on a Christmas flick!” Mikey said, taking the remote and turning on the TVs.

“Oh—Miracle on 34th street! The original! That’s a classic,” April said as Mikey flipped through.

“Miracle on 34th Street it is, then!” Mikey said.

Leo watched as his family settled in to watch the movie, taking his place and joining them. They chattered as the movie played, swapping stories here and there as they drank their hot chocolate, and Leo relaxed.

This was why he took the time to make the hot chocolate. This is why he concentrated on getting it so perfect. It was moments like these that he cherished, and so long as his hot chocolate brought moments like these about, then Leo would keep making it.

Ohmygod your thoughts on Yandere Miguel give me life

Idk how your blog works so feel free to ignore and delete this ask but I have some thoughts I'd like your take on

So platonic yandere Miguel with a teen reader who's crushing on a villain from her universe (im a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope </3). And villain reciprocates feelings but is obviously evil (i can't fix them I'll love them for it) so Miguel HATES it even more.

And I'm imagining that villain is also a yandere so there's just gonna be so much drama like AHDISHDUSHD

But yes this idea has been bouncing around in my head alot

If you give me permission I shall come in here with more thoughts on this if I get them

Anygays have a nice day or night make sure to stay hydrated!!!

*Tyler the creator voice* ok ok ok ok ok

so, I was thinking of something earlier, and, I forgot to grab a screenshot of it, but, extremely incredibly minor ATSV spoiler, when Miles is being shown the holograms of the Spiderverse, another series of canon events that is shown is every Spider having some sort of Symbiote experience (as in Venom, which, I have to admit, I'm uh, not extremely knowledgeable on Spiderman lore, I've been out of the game with this series since like grade school, I used to be big on DC and TMNT and hero shit, so, yeah)

Reader is just crushing on like, some evil Eddie Brock or some bad boy with a Symbiote, and dedicated/obsessive Papá Miguel instantly recognizes when your moods and behaviors start to change, more rebellious, more moody, you're becoming a bit more assertive, but not always in the good way, you're hurting people, maybe even stealing and other petty crimes. He presses you on who you've been hanging out with because APPARENTLY you've been sneaking off your watch so you can't inherently be tracked or spied on or contacted

Some drama ass shit like, Miguel has been trying to reach you because you both have some sort of really sentimental or important date coming up, maybe the anniversary of when he first met you or your birthday or his birthday where you both were supposed to do something nice together, something that's been planned and talked about for ages, and then, this rebellion stuff begins and, the date comes and you completely ghost him, he can't find you, contact you, he's frustrated and angry but also worried because what if you're hurt? What if his baby girl is HURT 🥺 SURELY that's the ONLY reason you wouldnt show up and break your poor stressed beloved daddy's heart liks this 🥺 and he finally finds you and you're totally fine, it's just like "haha sorry 'dad' I was getting railed by my evil big tall hunky villain boyfriend and also I have a Symbiote now, look at my spooky black costume, im evil now :)" and here's Miguel like "NOOO PRINCESA 😭😱✝️", but, technically he's only able to interfere in certain ways, like, maybe he can pressure you to break up with this guy but your Symbiote is canon and whether you defeat it and get rid of it or somehow master it and befriend it like say Ghost Spider, that isn't up to him, he can only pressure you but he can't MAKE you do anything, at least, not directly

You're running around having your rebellious Evil Girl Autumn and he's trying to, you know, steer you back onto the path of righteousness and all that and the harder he tries to control you the angrier you're getting until you're even losing your temper and throwing things at him or eventually physically attacking him (to which he's forced to overpower you which, you two have sparred before but this is different and it breaks his heart). You throw your watch at him and tell him to go fuck himself, that you hate him, that you never want to see him again, but you're crying and he takes this as a sign you aren't serious (which, you aren't, not 100% completely, you kinda lowkey ARE having a huge temper tantrum and rebellious phase and being a criminal brat, but, like.... spiderverse babyyyy we got Spider powers, shit has no consequences, or so it feels like to you at the time, and the Symbiote is maybe questionably evil and corrupting your thoughts)

Oh I just realized you said teen reader and here I am talking about getting railed 💀 maybe the villain is a teen too or just a few years older than you but either way like. Miguel doesn't want his sweet innocent pure virginal baby girl having sex! With anyone! Especially before marriage! (Although i was hearing he's kind of a slut in the comics?) He ever finds that shit out it's like, A CRISIS EVENT. He's like that one stereotype of brothers/fathers who hate seeing their sister/daughter date because that's the baby the raised/grew up with. Picture having an argument with him and you're just trying to piss him off and like, it's true but in anger you say "OH YEAH? oh YEAH??? Well, well, you know how you hate Hobie Brown so much?! We've been dating JUST TO MUTUALLY SPITE YOU, and you know what, i actually like him, and he likes me! Maybe we'll hook up for real! Maybe I'll FUCK HIM, DAD :) maybe we'll HAVE A BABY TOGETHER, DAD :)"

Like girlie nooooo you're getting put into The Biggest Time-Out The Multiverse Has Ever Seen. You think getting locked up in a room would be bad, NO, because at least you'd have some vague sense of privacy and personal space. You're now on 24/7 Daughter Duty, with him literally all the time except for, bathing and that stuff. He's dragging you around, making you accompany him, controlling what you're allowed to do, really an extended prolonged punishment. Hss making you sit in his office or whatever while he works and you'll be absolutely fucking bored out of your mind because you're basically given nothing to do, have no phone, no tasks really. He's not outright hurting or abuse you but it's a kind of psychological burden for you, but from his perspective he's just, basically guarding you like a dedicated father, protecting his baby from tarnishing her reputation, her body, and otherwise when he isn't there. CLEARLY he has a lot more fathering to give you than he originally thought

GRAND VICTORY!!

The tmnt story competition is over!! Well, it's been over for a little while but all our mods metaphorically died at the same time so we took a little longer to make this post than we should have. A massive congratulations to our overall winner, @chasingrabbits-art 's Danny Phantom x Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!

And a massive thank you to all our competitors and supporters alike, ya'll have made this a very fun event in ways we didn't even think possible. From the entire mod team, thank you so much! You guys are awesome. Meanwhile however, while we don't know if we'll be holding another one of these (dear god this comp was a lot of work even with the amount of hands we have on deck) Massy's story is not entirely over, and you may see more activity from this blog in the future, so stay tuned~
