A party for the goblin king

Yan fae king future Donnie x reader

Here is a little blurb I wrote based on my yandere fae king turtles au. Just a little idea that popped up in my mind while I was was listening to *cough* crane wives song curses *cough* and I couldn’t resist the urge to let my brain-rot run wild.

Tagging @lexiechr, @souperwrites, @radicallxser and @saltydoesstuff for feeding into my brainrot for these silly fellas >:3

Note : Let me know if there’s any spelling errors (autocorrect currently hates me for some reason)

Tw : Mentions of violence, alcohol, unhealthy relationships, manipulation, kidnapping (I do not condone this behavior in real life. this is only for entertainment purposes only), slightly suggestive???

Nothing about this place felt safe to you.

Nothing at all.

The warmth of the fire pit and torches. The glow of lanterns around the courtyard filled with so many types of goblin like fae running around partying and celebrating.

The savory scents of roasted meats and vegetables or the sugary scents of pastries of all kinds wafting into the air

Sounds of joyful music, laughter and the occasional cheering or rather yelling over the games being hosted down below from where you were seated.

All of it should have made you feel warm, safe or welcome.

However it was anything but welcoming to you. Considering you were currently seated in the lap of the being who’d been tormenting your cottage and kidnapped you the second those protective seals had been broken.

The horror of getting dragged into the woods over his shoulder from the safety of your home still angers you even in this moment.

Memories of pushing against him as he whispered sweet promises of an eternity of love and laughter by his side still echoed in your mind.

Absentmindedly messing with the hem of the soft silk robes he’d clothed you in and occasionally messing with the necklace of amethyst beads he’d claimed to have hand carved and strung himself while you angrily contemplated your circumstances.

What you wouldn’t give to be away from him and this nightmare you’d fallen into by chance. Just one smack to his smug face would quell that rage burning inside you.

Speaking of your captor, Donatello seemed to pick up on this change in your mood. His eyes moving away from the party to look at his beloved resting against him. Every fiber of his been fighting the urge to just start peppering kisses all across your body.

Slowly, he shifted you around in his hold so you were sitting sideways. His hand gently coming up to cup your chin and tilt your head to face him.

“something the matter, dearest?” He asked, his tridactyl hands slowly tracing patterns and shapes across your back and shoulders. The goblet of wine he’d been sipping and the letters of congratulations from his goblin subjects to him and his new spouse settled to the side on a table, “you seem distant? Is the music not to your liking? I did made sure the musicians learned your favorite songs”

You had to fight the urge to roll your eyes at the soft shelled terrapins smug tone. Shifting around uncomfortably in his hold to try and have some semblance of space between you and him.

“No, everything’s fine” you replied as casually as possible, turning your head away so you didn’t have to lock eyes with him. though a hint of your nervousness crept through that facade you held, “I’m just a little tired is all. This party’s been going on for what? Like three hours now?”

Donnie let out a deep chuckle at your reply. Your efforts to distance yourself from him and the twinge of anxiety creeping into your voice not going unnoticed by his keen senses.

Shifting you around again in his embrace so you were facing him, he reached a hand up to mess with the flowers neatly styled into your hair.

“Now, my darling” he crooned, slowly twirling a strand of your hair in his hand. The action combined with that low purr in his voice making warmth rise to your cheeks. A thought in the back of your mind screaming to run yet your body would not move an inch.

That smug smirk of his seemed to compliment that soft loving yet possessive look in those dark eyes that. Eyes that practically stared into your soul everytime they looked at you as he gazed at you. His free hand making sure you were securely seated across his lap, giving your thigh a gentle squeeze, “try to enjoy the evening, Hmmm? After all I spent a very, very, very, that’s three verys, long time planning for this celebration of our love. Your allowed to relax you know”

Before you could even ask how on earth you were supposed to enjoy this when he kidnapped you and put you through hell, he leaned in and pressed a tender yet passionate kiss to your lips.

His beak cold against your skin as you sat there wide eyed and frozen in surprise. A soft smile gracing his face as he felt your muscles relax slightly. Feeling his hands come up and rest on the back of your head when he pulled you closer to him. Basking in the softness of your lips and the scent of flowers still clinging to your skin from the bath.

Eventually, he pulled away to let you breathe. A small yelp of surprise escaping you when he teasingly nipped at your bottom lip, eliciting a breathy chuckle from him.

Resting his elbow on the arm rest of his throne and propping his head up with his hand. A look of pure adoration in his eyes that both frightened you and made your heart flutter ever so slightly.

“I love you, my dear” he murmured, his voice soft and eyes half lidded. tracing a heart across your neck with his free hand. his guilded claws brushing against your skin that you couldn’t tell if it was meant to be affectionate or a subtle reminder that you’d belong to him.

“so, so much” he murmured, his arm coming to wrap around your waist to press your frame against his plastron. The party becoming more of a blur as you quietly rested in his embrace. Peppering kisses across your head as you fought back the urge to push against him.

Looking back on it?

Maybe you should have just cut your losses and moved when you and the chance.

Now you dance and shed your tears in the loving but possessive arms of the goblin king.

28 and 29

I combined the two, hope you don’t mind! Also, um, I went a little far with this. Make sure to check the tags.

@daboyau

Leo thrashes around violently against the restraints keeping him to the table. The Kraang who brought him there had taken out his portaling ability the first chance they got. It feels like years since then. Maybe it has been. The Kraang aren’t exactly generous when it comes to their prisoners.

Especially not one they’re trying to break.

He stops moving as much when a certain former warring warrior scientist walks in. He was taken at the same time Leo was.

That doesn’t mean he’s also a prisoner though.

“I-I want to be mad at you, but you’re like this and Mikey isn’t….you turned into such a freaking softy. Sacrificing yourself for the greatest mystic warrior ever? He’s not even a kid anymore.” Leo scoffs.

Draxum’s half Kraang covered face doesn’t change expressions. It was worth a try. It’s not like this could get any worse. It is torture by the world’s evilest creatures after all.

He lifts up a syringe filled with a green substance.

“What….going to double mutate me? It’ll do exactly what you’re trying to avoid.” Leo insists.

The reason Leo isn’t part of the grossest shade of pink ever hive mind right now is because they want someone to infiltrate the resistance undetected. That means he can’t look like Draxum does right now.

It also means they have to get him under their control another way.

He had been kept in a cell for a long time before this. Every day, Draxum would come in and use something new on him to make sure he never got used to the torture.

Leo’s healing factor meant that it could go on for a long time. Wounds closing just to be torn open again. A fresh canvas to splash with blood.

Just recently, he’s been making a lot more serious escape attempts. He almost made it the other day. The Kraang were really pissed about it.

This is probably punishment.

Draxum injects the liquid into his vein and immediately it feels like his insides are on fire. He bites his lip so hard it bleeds. He’s shocked when it hasn’t begun to heal already.

There’s….no way he just….?

The pain throbs through his whole body and he can suddenly feel it where he hadn’t before. A broken ankle that he was able to walk on now is absolutely killing him.

His wrists burn and bleed from how much he just tried to free himself.

He really did it.

Draxum took his healing factor.

A saw appears in his line of vision that is pressed against his arm.

His cool persona starts breaking as he feels the words to beg for this not to happen on the tip of his tongue. They’re only barely held back by the fact he knows it’ll only encourage The Kraang.

Draxum begins sawing.

Slowly.

Leo feels the scream come deep from his core. The pain is completely unbearable. There’s absolutely no drug to get him through it.

He hears liquid dripping to the floor. It’s easy to imagine both the tears pouring from his face and wound mixing on the ground.

Leo starts passing out from the pain. He feels something else inject to his other arm and his brain buzzes back to life.

Adrenaline.

He’s keeping him from going to into shock. From passing out. From escaping the worst pain of his life.

It keeps going on and on. It’s so slow. He can feel when his nerves die and shut off. It’s only some.

He’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone he’s hitting bone-

Ah.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!

RAPH!! DONNIE!! MIKEY!!

DAD! GRAM-GRAM!

ANYBODY! PLEASE!

A wall blows open.

Finally, finally, something other than the sound of his flesh and tendons being torn through.

The saw stops as he’s vaguely aware of Draxum getting tossed so hard he’s not sure he’s ever going to get up again.

There’s screaming.

A lot of screaming.

Oh, he recognizes those voices.

He’s barely able to turn his head to look his family there.

His brothers and-

Ha.

Who’s letting Casey J.R. see this?

Gross!

Leo starts laughing.

His brothers all start trying to help him. Casey J.R. stays back, eyes wide and full of absolute fear.

Leo laughs more.

How awful.

Let Me Take Your Pain Away (Pt. 1)

Missions don’t always go as planned, they rarely do, actually. Thing is, when they don’t, someone might pay the price with their lifes. 

But they won’t let that be Mikey’s case.

Based on @cokowiii’s ‘Just Another Day AU’

Part two here

Part three here

Supply runs are hard, it’s a slow process that tends to make easy objectives out of them, threatening to take the whole community down. Even now, after they’ve figured out how to be mostly self-sustainable, it’s very much indispensable, and each time they have to go farther and farther away in search of resources. However, every now and then, they’ll find something they overlooked in the past; this time, they seem to have found a goldmine (and a nearby one at that).

- “How come we’re only seeing it now? It’s super close.” – They were reviewing the last details of his mission. It’s nothing new and -thankfully- it shouldn’t take long: just a couple days, a week if he’s unlucky.

- “According to my research, something in there exploded, blowing up the roof and exposing the structure to the elements. The question is ‘why?’ though that I do not know, dear brother.” -Donnies eyes were shining, exited with the possibilities- “So be careful, extremely so. Now, regrettably, my current project is time-sensitive, so you go there first and scout the place. Then, if you deem it so, we’ll send a raid team.”

- “Yes, yes. I’ve done this before Dee. I’m a badass mystic warrior, I can handle it.”

- “One thing does not equate the other.”

- “Are you jealous because I’m stronger than you?”

- “Offended gasp, Michelangelo, you did not just-”

- “Cali!” - Mikey had interrupted and discarded his older brother in favour of giving a hug to his beloved husband. – “What are you doing here?”

- “A. I hate you. B. I asked him to come, as I need his help for one last test before you go.” - Answered Donnie.

- “Donieeeee.” - whining would stop neither of them.

- “Oh, well, maybe I wouldn’t have to do this if you didn’t murder my babies as a past time.” – retorted Donnie, though there was no heat behind his words.

- “It’s not on purpose, I swear.” -and it isn’t. Sometimes, his powers just aren’t compatible with his brother’s tech, making the trackers or monitors glitch or straight up die.

- “C’mon, Mikey, better safe than sorry. Let’s get this shit over with.” – persuaded Calimari as he drags a weightless Mikey to a chair. It was quick, have Cali take his vital signs and compare them with the ones on the monitor, the GPS function wasn’t so easy to test, and they’d asses it on the run.

- “Well, that’s it. You can go now. Don’t set on fire anything that isn’t a Krang.”

- “I’ll try.” – And then he stared at Cali - “Mari~”

- “What?”

- “I love you so, so much.” – A chaste kiss follows, but then their eyes don’t meet like usual; instead, Mikey is looking at their hands. Cali know he’s angsting about his death. Again.

The sight made his heart clench, so he got close in order to lick Mikey’s cheek. In response, the other let go, outraged, trying to clean his face with his hand, then proceeded to snatch the robe on Cali’s shoulders with a big, dumb smile on his face. – “Off I go.”

How he wishes he could go with him.

He marches back into the med bay, knowing that he has better things to do than wallow in self-pity. Leo and his team will be back soon, which always means an influx in patients. When they arrive, it’s shown that this time there is no exception, so he bussies himself with the work in front of him… Until he can’t.

It was sudden, from one second to the next. Something cold burned his hand, painful enough to make him drop the papers he was holding. Seeing what was wrong only made it worse. He saw the markings in his left hand. The white, form-fitting, and warm chain now was cold, loose, and had black patches all over it.

- “Cali,” -started Leo, worried tone, and getting closer to him – “what’s-” -the resistance leader froze in place, eyes wide open, but a second later he was leaving the place in a frenzy, pale and almost shoving people out of his way.

Cali figures there’s only one person he’d go to: Donnie.

- “Doctor Calimari, we need-.” - He didn’t get to hear what the request was. When he got to the exit, he could still see Leo at the end of the corridor, but he wasn’t fast enough to catch him, not anymore.

Still, he made a run for Donnie’s lab: his most likely location -and he will beat him if he’s not there-. He kept going even when he could barely breath, his muscles ached and his sight was going dark on the sides. Even so, he made it to the lab, but he couldn’t talk with how much his lungs burned and how he was about to pass out. Mikey’s remaining brothers were there, ignoring him completely.

Listening to them, he gathers that they will leave to search Mikey, who they lost contact with. Given the situation, they might agree to take him. Nonetheless, he won’t risk being told to fuck off. Thus, he plans accordingly.

Cali, waited for the right moment to hide into one of the trucks, from his place in the trunks he can’t see anything, although it shouldn’t take long for them to leave.

- “Oh, sweet Galileo, I finally get to-”

- “Donnie.”

- “Mikey, yes. Of course.” – He sets his horrid music on before flooring it, effectively launching them out of the base.

- “Puta.” – Thankfully, the noise drowned his voice. It’s even better when Leo turns turn the speaker off shortly after.

- “I just need you to keep an eye on it in case the signal comes back.” - Cali’s listening attentively, trying to collect as much information as he can.

- “Let me see if I get this straight: you two were talking, then ‘boom’, then nothing?”

- “Then you arrived, yes.”

Then they stayed silent, and Cali was left with his thoughts. He remembered talking with Mikey about their shared chains, he was right, this is agony.

- “Do you think he’s fine?” – asked Leonardo

- “Yes.”

- “But Cali’s chains-”

- “Just focus on the tablet. We’ll arrive soon.”

- “Okay…” – A pause – “Are you sure it’s working?”

- “Yes ‘Nardo, now stop talking.”

- “But it says Cali’s behind us.”

- “You put a tracker on me!?” – Shit.

- “Oh, for fuck’s sake, Cali!” - God damn it, he planned on staying hidden until they found Mikey. – “You know Donnie puts trackers on everyone! Where are you?”

- “Not everyone.” – Maybe they’ll start fighting and forget about him.

- “I stand corrected, he puts trackers on everyone he cares about. I know this, you know this, everyone does.” – He was blinded by a sudden light.  – “What were you thinking?”

- “Get closer and I’m biting your hand off.”

- “Good thing It’s a spare.”

- “It’s not. Leo, stop. I won’t fix it.”

- “Donnie, turn this thing around.”

- “Don’t you dare. Fucking hell, get you priorities straight, I won’t drop dead for going outside. Mikey needs me, or would you rather waste time, see if he dies!? Then what.” - He was screaming at the top of his lungs, as he pierced the trunk’s floor with his claws. They wouldn’t go back, they fucking couldn’t. He’d throw them out of the window first.

- “Okay. First, this -to quote you- “thing” it’s a state-of-the-art automotive engineering, have some respect. Second, the Doc’s right, we don’t know what condition Mikey’s in, its better if he’s with us.”

Leo retreated back into the copilot’s seat without talking, and after a minute Cali crawled out of the trunk into the backseats. With actual light, he could see the chain again, it was mostly black now.

None of them talked after that. Until - “The signal’s back”- said Leo, as he paled even more – “Can’t this thing go faster?”

- “Why.” – demanded Donnie, looking at the screen while driving at full speed.

- “Watch the road!”

- “Gimme that.” – Cali snatched the tablet from Leo’s trembling hands, and started reading… tachypnoea and tachycardia, but low blood pressure and low temperature… Is he bleeding out? Fuck, uh, Leo said ‘boom, then nothing’… So, traumatic injuries (fractures, stabbing), blast injuries (brain, eyes, ears, lungs, abdomen). What else, burns? Maybe he’s just really dehydrated, that might do too.

His thoughts were interrupted by a loud ringtone.

- “Hey, Honey Bunny.” - Those two are disgusting.

- “Leo? Where are you?”

- “In an impromptu mission? We think Mikey’s in trouble.” – That’s downplaying it.

- “Shit, I won’t take long then. Do you know where Cali is?”

- “In Colombia?”

- “What? No. They say he ran out after you.” – A brief pause followed - “he’s with you.”

- “I didn’t know, Yui. We can’t go back now.”

- “Leo.”

- “I know, I’m sorry. I’ll pass him over,” -he passed his communicator to Cali, who turned off the speaker.

As he talked, a screech filled the air, and he dropped the device.

- “Cali, are you okay? What’s going on?”

- “I’m fine.”

- “Are you sure? I can go there, I’ll prepare the another car.”

- “I said I’m fine, stop fussing. Donnie just ran over something.”

- “Fine...” – Cali could hear his brother thumping his tail over the phone. - “Do me a favour, stick close to Leo, okay?” - He grunted in response. – “And tell him that, if anything happens to you, I’m filing for divorce.”

- “Sounds like a plan.”

- “Fuck you, but be careful.”

- “Yeah, yeah.”

- “Cali, you better come back, okay? Preferably soon, you left a mess behind. Also, call me if you need help, and send me a message every hour to let me know you’re okay.”

- “Whatever, bye.”

- “Bye…” -And he hung up.

- “Congrats on the divorce.” - Declared Cali as he returned the communicator.

- “He didn’t say that.” – Answered Leo, defensive. Cali didn’t answer, just stared at the damp stain in Leonardo’s clothes.

- “Are you bleeding?”

- “No? Ah, I forgot.” - Fucking idiot.

- “Hah? You ‘forgot’!? Y entonces qué, ¿mágicamente va a desaparecer?” - He went back into the trunk to take out a first aid kit – “Jueputa, porqué son así, se creen indestructibles, estúpidos es lo que son. El otro es igualito.” – Then he started disinfecting, stitching, and bandaging. - “Estate quieto.” – It pained him that the chain was getting in the way.

For a while after that either reorganized the first aid kit or stared at the screen with Mikey’s vitals.

- “We’re here.” – Announced Donnie, restless. Before stepping out of the car he threw a gun at Cali – “The tracker’s not working, but his last location is fifteen meters south-east from here.” – Donnie started flying, and Leo followed promptly, carrying Cali.

By now, saying that the chain was loose was an overstatement. Cali feared that if relaxed his grip, it would simply fall off. So, he held onto it.

Mikey’s ‘last location’ was barren, with nothing living on sight. Thus, they took different paths in an attempt to cover more ground. Donnie remained on the air, while Leo went underground with Cali.

Just an Idea-

Rise Leo gets thrown into the 12 Universe with a twist!

————————

Leo doesn’t know how he got here or why.

Okay. He does know why. But he doesn’t blame Mikey for it! After all, it was his first portal and his little brother did save him from the prison dimension!

Mikey’s portal was unstable and sure his little brother never wanted him to land… well… here!

With smaller, funny talking Kraang, stuck in a silver pink cell. And certainly he didn’t mean to revert Leo back into a small turtle tot either!

And being magically healed as well… Though scars remained.

Okay! He didn’t expect to end up here and certainly not as a baby!

And fine, he has been quite frustrated when he woke up in that cell and had thrown a temper tantrum like a goddamn child. But then again, he is one …now at least.

But he could never be angry at his little brother for this.

Not when his little Sun had ripped open time and space with his bare hands just to save him.

Not when he was able to see his brothers one last time, full of relief and hope.

Not when Raph took his hand to drag him out of that hell hole and into safety.

Not when Donnie had launched a huge ass drill right into the Krangs stupid ugly face.

Not when his little brother had him saved from another month of torture. 

No. He just couldn’t.

So, instead of physically recoiling every time he thought about the aftermath of the Krangs invasion, his brothers injuries, he made himself a plan on how to escape from his very bright cell, from the Kraang and - most importantly - the shitty food.

Like- Seriously! What kind of food is that?!

And no, Kraang, goop made out of trash is not edible!

The plan had worked in the end. He could’ve saved a lot of chaos if he would’ve been bigger, but he would not think about the ‘what if’s or anything similar.

So, now he was outside. He managed to snag a big hoodie so he could blend in with the crowd and then stole some food. Real food this time.

He resisted the urge to break down and cry. It wasn’t because he thought that the people around him would simply ignore him, but beca he simply couldn’t afford being seen. He was still a mutant after all. He was pretty sure being seen like this would lead the Kraang right back to him.

So he should keep a low profile for now and ignore his childish urges.

Though, if he was a human, it would make things a lot easier. But he was pretty sure, that was just impossible.

Though, with a little training, maybe his little sunshine could actually turn him and his brothers into humans.

After all, Casey Junior did say, that Mikey was ‘the greatest Mystic Warrior the world’s ever seen’ and Leo didn’t doubt that, even if Casey Junior had never told them that in the first place, his little brother is the best after all!

But Leo believed Junior.

Donnie was a genius! He’s Leo’s twin, his other half. Of course he’s the best at everything he does!

And Mikey is really talented with art and lives up to his name. Of course he’s going to be the best mystic warrior!

And then there’s Raph.

Leo isn’t sure if Junior hadn’t said anything about him, became he simply wanted to keep their spirit high and not remind them of the situation they’re in or if it’s simply because Junior never got to know him, but Leo is 100% sure, that Raph was the best and strongest Leader and brother there was!

Leo shook his head. He should find a place to sleep instead of thinking about his brothers, wherever they were. Wherever he was.

Leo buried his face deeper into the hoodie, staring at one of the many fire escapes.

He wasn’t sure if he was even able to reach them, not with his tiny body.

He stared down at his three-fingered hands. They were so small.

There was no way he could reach those fire escapes!

The urge to cry out in frustration welled up again.

Leo scrubbed his face.

Don’t cry! You’re an grown up! You faced evil in demon armor and stopped an alien invasion! Be brave!

His gaze landed on then manhole cover.

The sewers it is then.

But first: Supplies.

He needs food, water, clothes and a med kit.

Clothes was fairly easy. The cashier didn’t pay attention, especially not to a child that was below their radar. A small backpack came with the large clothes.

Next was food and water.

A small shop lifting was in order. It didn’t fail! But Leo was simply too small to get everything he needed in time.

The small slider stared at the bread and water bottle in his tiny hands before stuffing them into his bag.

That’s okay. He’ll get more at another store! At one that’s further away from the one he’s just been to.

It’s fine!

He got more this time. Apples, a few granola bars and more water.

That should be enough for now!

Now he only needed a med kit.

That was a lot harder to get. Like a lot, a lot harder.

He couldn’t just steal from a pharmacy! Not without Donnie’s help to shut down the cameras, so they could break in in the middle of the night and especially not in his tiny turtle tot body.

He pouts, worrying his lip. There was a dollar store on the other side of the street.

Leo was sure the stores soon going to close, since the sun is already setting. He wasn’t exactly sure was season it was, but it was pretty chilly and the trees’ leaves have an orange hue to them. So maybe it was autumn.

There were almost no people around.

He huffs.

He supposes he should look for a med kit tomorrow. He’s exhausted.

Leo makes his way to the nearest manhole cover and slides it open with more effort that he would’ve needed in his original body and carefully places his foot onto the first metal bar, testing the waters.

It wasn’t as slippery as he thought it would be. That’s good.

Leo continues to climb down, not bothering to slid the cover back into place.

Something told him, that he would fall if he did so and his intuition is normally right.

Everything seemed to go well today. He managed to escape from those weird Kraang, he got mostly everything he needed and now he only had to find a place to sleep. Today was a great day! Maybe he could even sleep—

A loud yelp escaped Leo as his feet slip out under him and the sudden shift made it impossible to hold on to the metal latter.

Everything seemed to slow down.

His fingertips brushing against the latter, his foot getting caught between it and his world tilting upside down.

His heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears.

A sickening crack.

His vision going white.

Numbness in his leg.

His head hurt.

What-?

His ears are ringing.

His throat hurts like he screamed for hours on end.

Something warm tickled down his neck.

And there was pain. White hot raging pain. Everywhere.

Leo couldn’t move. Everything hurt and it felt like he couldn’t breathe—

“Breathe, child”, a smooth and deep voice called out to him and Leo could only blink through his tear filled vision.

Who-?

“Breathe. You need to breathe”

Breathe? Breathe. Right. He could do that.

Leo swallowed dryly, breath hitching as he sucked in the very much needed air.

When had he stopped breathing?!

“Very good. You’re doing a wonderful job! Keep at it”

Praise?

Leo carefully lifted his hands up to his face, scrubbing the tears away.

He had to blink a few times to adjust, shifting a little so he could lean against the wall behind him.

Leo blinked.

There was a extremely tall rat-man crouching in front of him, large hands with long thin fingers held up for Leo to see.

He had dark brown fur and on the underside of his jaw was white stripe that went to his chest.

The man wore a red kimoto and a light brown cloth was wrapped around his chest.

And in it were four small mutant turtle tots.

Leo opened his mouth, then closed it only to open it again like a fish on land.

What. The. F—

“How are you, my child?”, spoke the man again, looking unsure if he was allowed to touch him.

Leo made an odd noise between a grunt and a huff in the back of his throat.

The man’s sharp ears perk up at the sound, his forehead creasing with worry. He eyes Leo’s leg with concern.

Leo was sure the man would later ask him about his mutation or if he was a Yokai, though it seemed like something as the Hidden City doesn’t exist here, since all of the entrances were unresponsive to his call.

Leo gritted his teeth and let out a warning hiss at the man’s attempt to take a look at his leg.

An aggressive hiss answered him from the man’s chest.

One of the baby turtles bared his teeth at him and his small black button eyes narrowed warningly at him.

Leo mimicked his glare and hooked an hand under his knee to examine himself.

Definitely broken… Great…

“Let me help you, young one”, the man said softly, gently pushing the glaring baby turtle back into the cloth, his other hand still raised.

Leo didn’t trust himself to speak. He hadn’t spoken in the last couple of months, certainly his voice was raspy and mixed with turtle sounds.

Leo worried his lower lip again, thinking about his options.

He could decline and make the man leave, but that meant that he had to fend for himself with a broken leg and no med kit.

Leo huffed, carefully placing his throbbing leg back onto the cold floor.

The man hesitantly reached for the limp, pausing to give him a warning look and then began to gently prod at it.

Leo hisses again, this time more out of pain then anything else, and began to chew on his sleeve to muffle the sounds.

He had broken so many bones before! Why was he so weak?!

“This is definitely broken”, the man murmured, giving Leo an apologetic look.

The four turtles watching him closely.

“We need to bandage it probably and you won’t be able to walk for a while…”

Leo made an annoyed clicking sound, nodding.

The man narrowed his eyes.

“You can understand what I’m saying?”, he asked, hesitantly, like he was afraid the answer to be ‘no’.

Leo nodded, rubbing his eyes. They must be pretty red and puffy.

There was a long silence, nobody brave enough to say something. Even the turtles seemed to have quiet down.

The man finally nodded.

“I’ll bring you back to my hideout, is that okay?”

Leo yawned.

Sure, whatever. It’s not like he could run away, at least not in his current state.

The man shuffled a little, while Leo was occupied, fighting off sleep and eventually gathered Leo in his arms; the cloth now moved, so the baby turtles were on his back.

Leo stared at them over the man’s shoulder, they stared back.

The two with the lighter scales had fallen asleep, while the other two seemed to watch over them.

Leo looks at the man. His reddish brown eyes held something wise and knowing, like a real ninja master.

It wasn’t like Big Mama, who’s eyes shined dangerously, ready to twist other’s minds so she could use them as her puppets, manipulating them until they couldn’t decide for themselves anymore, using their pain to her advantage.

This man, though, held kindness and wisdom, but that doesn’t make him any less dangerous.

Leo thinks that he could trust him, at least for now.

“What’s your name, little one?”, the man asked after a while.

His claws clicking and his tail dragging against the floor was almost impossible to hear, but Leo was taught the art of ninjitsu and used to his fathers and brothers quite footsteps and sneaking up on him from behind in hopes of startling him. It never worked.

Leo didn’t answer for a long while, continuing to chew on his sleeve. It made him feel better for some odd reason.

Leo shrugged. He still didn’t feel like talking and something told him not to tell him his name and even if he wouldn’t tell the man his real name, he could just tell him the Subject number those funny talking Kraang gave him, that would be really awkward.

The man hummed.

“My name is Splinter”

Leo stiffened.

Splinter? Like his father? What—?!

“And those four are Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo”, the man - Splinter - continued, not noticing how the child in his arms had tensed.

Those names— But those are his and his brothers’ names—! What-? What was happening?!

How could that be possible?! First funny talking Kraang, now a tall-ass rat-man named Splinter and four baby turtles that had the same names as him and his brothers!

How is that possible?!

“We’re here”, the man— Splinter suddenly spoke up, efficiently pulling Leo’s attention elsewhere.

It was… the Lair?!

Just a mix out of both of them and unfinished. There was no evidence that someone lived here, no personal belongings.

Leo eyes flew from the room to the turtles, all have fallen asleep by now, then Splinter and then back to the Lair.

It seems like Splinter hasn’t been a mutant for very long.

That would make a lot more sense and would explain why the Lair looked so untouched.

Splinter mover over to a few boxes, placing Leo gently on one of them before putting down his backpack (since when was there a backpack? Was he so tired that he even missed such an important detail?) to remove the cloth.

Gently, he laid down the babies in a small wooden box, filled with blankets and pillows to make sure the improvised bed was comfortable.

Finally he pulled out a med kit behind another row of boxes and sat down in front of Leo, to treat his wounds.

“So, you have no name?”, Splinter asked after a while.

Leo winced, letting out a low hiss as a hot wave of pain coursed from his leg through his body.

The young slider nodded, chewing on his sleeve again.

Splinter hummed.

It was silent again and Splinter didn’t say a word until he moved to bandage his head, the blood had stopped flowing for a long while.

“I always like the name Kaito. Kai means Ocean, sea and to means fly, soar. If I would have had a son, then that would be his name”

Leo blinked.

Okay? The name is beautiful. But why is he telling him this?

Splinter gave him a meaningful look.

Oh. Oh. Oh, he wants Leo to have that name!

Leo frowned at him, unsure if he should accept or deny.

It was a beautiful name, but should he really—

Wait.

Did Splinter just say that the name was supposed to be for a son?!

Does that mean that Splinter adopts him?!

Leo sighed, when Splinter finally retreated his hands.

“I-If you want t-to”, he whispered, not at all surprised that he sounded like shit; raspy voice, stuttering and his voice was - of course - higher due to him being in an three? Four?-year-old body.

Splinters ears twitch and unlike Leo, seemed almost flabbergasted.

Leo bit his lip, unsure if it was a bad thing to talk yet.

Splinter nodded quickly, his gaze softened and a small smile tugged at his lips.

“Okay then, Kaito. You should sleep, you have no concussion, luckily, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t rest”

Okay then, it’s official. His name is Kaito now. That’s fine. He’ll just play this game until he finds a way home.

Before Leo— Kaito could protest, Splinter had already picked him up again, carrying him over to a mattress that laid next to the box with the sleeping turtles.

“I’ll get you your own bed tomorrow, okay?”

Leo— Kaito blinked.

That doesn’t mean, what he thinks it does, right?

And it does. Great.

Kaito shifts a little in them man’s arms, trying to get somewhat comfortable without irritating his wounds.

Kaito rubbed his eye, staring at his small backpack that laid next to Splinters.

When had them man taken it off?

Maybe the man was wrong and he did have a concussion and Splinter just simply hasn’t that much medical knowledge.

Kaito nuzzled into the croook of the man’s arm.

If it wasn’t better tomorrow he would check it himself. After all, he was the medic of the family!

***

Kaito watched the turtles and Splinter interact. It’s cute, but Kaito is somewhere else mentally.

A short review of everything that has happened:

Firstly, he was out of the prison dimension, saved by his little brothers unstable portal.

Now that he thinks about it, it could be that he was portal jacked. After all, it was his brothers first portal and that inexperience mixed with panic and exhaustion, would explain why it was so easy to get Portal jacked in the first place.

Which leads him to:

Secondly, he landed in a cell, guarded by funny talking Kraang, stuck in a child’s body.

The Kraang must’ve portal jacked Mikey on either accident or intent, but no matter what it is, Leo landed in their base.

He was sure he saw a few machines that looked like portal generators, when the Kraang got him out of his cell to run a few experiments on him.

And then he escaped. His ninpo was weak and it still is, but it helped immensely regardless.

Thirdly, he managed to slip and fall in the sewers after he got himself some supplies and a rat-man miraculously found him.

And Fourthly, that rat-man’s name is Splinter, who is taking care of four mutant baby turtles, that coincidentally are named after the four renaissance artists just like him and his brothers. 

So, yeah. That’s all that has happened till now.

Donnie would probably already have an answer to his many questions and would brag about how he was better than him and that he was just a dum-dum or something.

Leo snorts as Splinter struggles to retrieve a bolt from Michelangelo, while wrestling with Raphael.

Leo remembers when Donnie would ramble on and on about the Multiverse or alternative universes and how fascinating they were and what an scientific breakthrough it would be to create a machine that would let them travel through them.

Leo makes sure to give him double the money they’ve bet on.

It dawned on him that morning:

He was in an alternate universe, the time where Splinter and him and his brothers were just mutated and eventually found a good hideout where his dad thought nobody could find them.

As Donnie had already elaborated, there’s always something different I’m each and every universe, be it just small differences like eye color or something more drastic like hole characters missing or the story was slightly changed.

In this case, it was a lot that has changed.

Firstly, Splinter was huge - maybe not as big as Raph, but you get the point.

Secondly, it seems like Leonardo was the elder brother instead of Raphael, which sent Leo in a bit of a spiral.

Thirdly, instead of two Lairs, this one seemed to be combined by both of his Lairs, former and the one they have now.

Fourthly, the Kraang here were a lot weaker here, which is pretty good, which means he doesn’t have to worry about them so much.

And Fifthly, he seemed to become the eldest of the five turtles, which means, that he’s the one responsible for them now, which means that this Splinter had adopted him. Great.

And last, but not least:

Solving this whole ‘I’m in an alternate universe with younger versions of me and my brothers and father and am stuck in my turtle tot body’-situation is going to be really hard, considering that he has no idea to get home in the first place.

Then there is the problem with mystic powers as well, because… well… there’s simply none.

No Yokai, no mystics, no Hidden City and no Señor Hueso. No nothing that could help him with this situation at all.

Which means there’s probably no Big Mama or Draxum as well, since they’re both Yokai or they have a whole other appearance…

Spirits! This is hurting his head more then it already does!

Leo played mindlessly with the bandages on his head, chewing on his sleeve all the while.

How is he supposed to get home when all of his options are basically none existent?! Great Spirits in the sky—! 

A tug on his sleeve ripped him out of his spiral.

Leo blinked, looking down to see Leonardo (this feels really weird to call another person your own name) who has his arm in a weak grip, tugging his hand away from his head.

Oh. He must’ve torn his bandage or something because as soon as he lets go the thing fall directly into his face.

He squeaks, much to his embarrassment, when it blocks his vision.

Immediately he reached up to pull the loose bandages from his head, grumbling. 

“Let me help you, my son”, the smooth voice of Splinter called and the man proceeded to change the bandages on his leg and head gently.

Leo didn’t have the heart to tell him off, not when the man was so nice to him.

Leonardo nuzzled into his side, churring happily.

Leo chuffed in amusement, patting the smaller’s head, while Splinter attends to his leg.

Donatello shuffled closer, sitting far enough not to touch but close enough to be comforting.

Splinter chuckled when Michelangelo squishes himself between Donatello and him, while Raphael leaned against Leonardo.

Leo lets out an confused noise, eyeing the sleepy turtles.

Hadn’t they just slept? How are they so sleepy?

“Children sleep a lot while growing up. I’m not sure why, but I assume it’s because they still need to grow and use up a lot of energy all the time”, Splinter explained as if he heard Leo’s thoughts.

Leo nodded.

“How are you feeling, Kaito?”

Oh yeah. His name was Kaito now.

“O-okay. M-my head still hurts a bit”, he mumbled, shifting a little so Michelangelo would not burry his elbow directly into his ribs.

Splinter frowned slightly before letting out a long heavy sigh.

„I can get you some pain killers, but I have to go topside for that“

Splinter looked conflicted. He wanted to get Leo some pain killers but he couldn’t leave them alone here either nor can he bring them to the surface since it was still bright outside and he was human-like enough so the humans wouldn’t suspect there being something wrong with him.

Leo made a quiet click in the back of his throat, gaining the attention of the adult.

“I c-can take c-care of them, don’t w-worry”

Splinter gave him an unconvinced look before letting out a soft groan.

“Fine”, he muttered, giving him a stern stare. “I’ll be quick! Don’t walk or you’ll only worsen your wound, okay?”

Leo nodded. Overprotective…, he thought and but back a smile that tried to creep onto his features.

It didn’t take long for Splinter to scurry off and Leo let himself chuckle.

Maybe he could stay here until he found a way back home.

Leo closed his eyes, a sad smile edged into his expression.

He misses his family…

_____

That’s all…

I have no Idea on how to continue…

Deal with it.

>:D

[acutiewithagun]

If you want more prompts here's a headcannon request :3

So like, we all saw the amount of Oozesquitoes that escaped Draxums lab (I'd wager somewhere above 100). I'd also assume he made them much more long living then normal mosquitoes. But throughout the show, we only see a handful of people being mutated, and no news reports what so ever. This leads me to believe that just like normal mosquitoes, Oozesquitoes have some sort of preference to the person they bite, be it blood type or otherwise, so while some people might have 3 of them chasing them down at once, others might not have to worry about being bitten until they are one of the last options. (Sorry for the rambling, I'll get to the main point)

I want your (separate) headcannons for the boys (and April if you want) finding out from the reader that they've unknowingly been getting swarmed by Oozesquitoes as of late.

(As a bonus, here's a pic I made a few months back at 3 am, the background's not mine)

(Very interesting concept, I don't really do head cannons but I'll do short stories for each of them.)

Mosquito or maybe Ozzquito

The weird bugs that appeared years ago had left most people alone, including you. But within the last weeks these insects had been following you around. You decided talking to one of the turtles would probably help your situation... right?

Raph

You ran into the training room, completely out of breath. You glopped onto a mat as he looked at you with an odd expression. "Hey, are ya ok?" You shake your head as you pant for breath. "Chased... by... ozzquitos..." His eyes widen and he stops his training, opting to run to your side. He quickly hoisted you up and frantically examined you for bites.

"I managed to out run them, but they've been swarming me for weeks. Any advice?" Raph looked into your eyes with a big toothy grin. "Yeah, Donnie made some kinda repellent when we first had to fight off the ozzquitos. Raph can ask him for some." You give him a smile in return and hug him. "Thanks a ton."

He gave you a hug back with a chuckle. "Anything for my buddy."

Mikey

You spotted an oozquito and groaned. You immediately started running and bumped into Mikey. "Woah, slow down, whatcha running from?" He looked behind you and spotted the incoming swarm of the mutating insects. His eyes widened and he quickly picked you up and started running.

After ducking into a building Mikey finally put you down. "Why were there so many oozquitos!?" You rubbed the back of your neck and sigh. "I have no clue, they've been swarming me for weeks." With those words Mikey handed you lighter. Your eyes widened.

"Just burn them with fire if they bother you too much." He gave you a bright smile as he held out the destructive item.

Leo

You were sneaking around the sidewalk when you suddenly fell. Once you landed you saw Leo smiling at you as he held you. "Hi, you seem tense, and is that a frown I see?" You push on his face with your hand as you scowl. "I've been being swarmed by those darn oozquitos." He hummed and smirked. "Well that sounds like you just gotta stay inside until they leave you alone. You can stay here, I'll be that gracious."

The urge to hit him was strong with this one, but you bit it off. "Doesn't solve my problem, just prolongs it." He rolled his eyes and dropped you with a grin. "Suit yourself." Your desperation made you get up. "Hold on, I'll take you up on your offer."

He smirked at you and winked. "I knew you would, no one can resist my charms."

Donnie

You were swiveling on a chair as Donnie worked on whatever his next invention was. You accidentally let out a groan of dissatisfaction, which earned a pause from the soft shell turtle. "Mind telling me what troubles you so?" You smile as he continues working. "Just the stupid oozquitos have been swarming me recently. I can't go anywhere anymore."

This earned a hum from Donnie as he slid his chair to a shelf. He took a can of the shelf and examined it before throwing it behind him. You caught it and looked at him questionably. "What's this for?" He went back to his task and waved a hand.

"Oozquito repellent, this wonderful genius made it a few years ago. It should work to help your issues."

wsg im back again , was wondering if i could request again ! i love yr work very very much — anyway , donnie x reader ( fem or gn ) dancing in the rain together ? :D thought it would be cutee thank thank u if ya do this <3

Sure thing, thanks for the ask! Also, sorry for the long wait!

TMNT 2012 Donatello x Reader - Will you marry me?

Summary: You, now bedridden with an awful cold, recall the events that lead to your illness- a ironically warm memory.

Warnings: Aged up Donnie and reader (early twenties), pure fluff.

You sniffled, eyes watery and nose stinging, before sneezing into the tissue you'd been clinging to for dear life. You're now fiancé gave you a sympathetic smile, bringing your a steaming mug, identifying it as a special brew of herbal tea that ought to shorten the length of your cold. You thank him and he turns and leaves you to rest, and you can't help but grin, recalling the night before last.

-----

"Donnie, where are we going?" you giggled, trailing behind your boyfriend, keeping in the shadows right behind him.

"You'll see," he answers, peaking around the corner of a brick building. "Up here." he directs, nodding to a fire escape ladder that lead to the roof top of some apartment building. You playfully rolled your eyes as his secretiveness but did as he desired, ascending the ladder.

The sight before you made you want to faint before even stepping up onto the rooftop. The plain was thoughtfully decorated with a old wooden crates, linens, lit lanterns, and even a telescope, radio, and picnic. "God, Donnie this is..." you instantly threw yourself into his arms as soon as you were sure he was far enough from the edge, trailing off as you couldn't find the words to express your awe.

He laughed nervously, guiding you over to a comfy pallet he'd fashioned from cushions and blankets beside the telescope, and motioned for you to sit. "There's supposed to be a really rare meteor shower tonight." he said softly, peering through the instrument. "I thought it'd make for a nice date."

"You were right." you confirmed, beaming. "Could we eat first? I'm famished." you giggled peering into the picnic basket. Inside was some take out from a local Italian hole in the wall, pasta and bread sticks from the look of it. Honestly, you were just proud he didn't order pizza.

-----

As you both shared a tin of penne, you blinked, looking up at the sky. "What?" he asked, following your gaze.

You thought for a moment before shrugging. "Thought I felt a drop of rain." you wondered aloud. You were about to return to your food before you felt it again, two fat drops hitting your scalp. Before either of you knew it, you were both trapped under a steady down pour of night rain.

"Oh, no!" Donnie groaned, frustrated by the crashing of his plans. "there wasn't any chance of rain tonight!" his shoulders slumped with disappointment. "I'm so sorry, (Y/N). I doubt we'll even be able to see the meteor shower now, it's too cloudy." He finally sighed, feeling defeated. "Let's just go home."

"Wait," you called with a small smile. "This is still some kind of shower, we can still enjoy it." you suggested, grabbing his hands and pulling him over to you, swaying to the gentle jazz music that the radio played. You hoped it was water resistant.

The pair of you began slow dancing under the rain, while staring deeply into one another's eyes. You beamed under his loving gaze before laying your head on just plastron, letting him guide your movements.

"Hey, honeybun?" he asked, voice cracking a bit more than he would've liked. You glanced up at him, innocence in every batted lash, looking directly into his soul, unknowingly of course. "Uhm, I had planned this to play out differently..." he began, seemingly forgetting his words as fast as they came to him. "I had intended to do this during the meteor shower but..." He broke away form you, leaving you puzzled as you watched him dig through the basket to retrieve something you couldn't see. When he came back to you, he cupped your cheek in his hand, taking a second to adore the way your hair clung to your face, soaked by now. With a deep breath, he lowered himself on one knee.

"Oh my gosh," you gasped, finally understand what's happening.

"(Y/N) (L/N), when you first fell into my life, I was in the midst of my first heartbreak, and it was you that convinced me that I was more than my worth to one person." he paused to take a shaky breath before looking back up at you, more determined that before. You, on the other had you reduced to tears. "Ever since then, you've always been by my side, my number one support, and I want to be there for you, the same way you have me....(Y/N), will you marry me?"

You instantly tackled him, causing him to panic a bit to make sure the ring was secure in his fist. "Yes, yes, a million times, yes!" you peppered his face with joyful kisses, tears streaming down your face as he laughed, holding your left hand and sliding the band onto your finger. You laid against him, fingers curved to the clouds, admiring your new ring. It was a simple one, made of a white metal with a piece of lilac glass in oval cut. It wasn't anything expensive, most likely hand made, but you loved it all the same.

-----

You carefully sipped your tea before setting it down, the shine of light refracting off your gemstone, catching your attention. You brought your hand closer to your gaze, smiling down at it lovingly. You may be sick now, but to you, a little runny nose is well worth spending the rest of your life with the one you love.

[sibillascribbles08]

Nother Jasonnie prompt, can't tag cause they were on anon but this is 139! I gotta be honest this took so long partially cause I could NOT decide what they would be betting on and then I was struck with the best idea ever.

“Donnie what did you do to the kitchen?” Jason shouted the moment he got home. A lengthy day at the office. He hoped on the way home that he could just come in, curl up on the sofa with his daughter, and catch his breath for a bit.

Instead he finds… whatever this is. It’s definitely some new invention except the entire contraption is built around half the kitchen. Ropes, pulleys, mechanical arms equipped with brushes and towels, all of it hovering around the sink. 

Donnie—his husband, love of his life, the stupidest genius to ever exist—must be putting the final touches on the device in question. Holly sat on his shoulders, smiling. 

“What, you don’t like it?” Donnie straightened up and twirled the screwdriver in his hand. “I thought it was about time we finally rid ourselves of the worst chore in the house.” 

“Boo dishes!” Holly giggled. 

Jason crossed his arms. “Considering I’m the only one who does them around here, I fail to see the point of this.” 

“So you don’t have to do them either.” Donnie threw open his arms before he began to point at the parts of the contraption. “The flip of a switch and this will pluck all those gross dishes out of the sink, rinse them, and then deposit them into the dishwasher.” 

“Gross dishes.” Holly nodded. 

Jason’s gaze trailed over the mechanics of this whole thing. Donnie truly made ingenious devices on a regular basis, but this one was definitely made on a whim. But why? What did—

Jason finally noted the actual dishes in the sink, the top of which was a very cheese crusted pan. 

He sighed. “Holly want grilled cheese again?”

“Grill cheese!” The two year old chanted, kicking her legs. 

“Yes, and as usual it got everywhere and got stuck.” Donnie crossed his arms.

Jason rolled his eyes. “Wow, maybe that wouldn’t happen if you used less cheese, like I said, and stopped ruining the seasoning on my cast iron pan.” 

Donnie cringed. “How can you cook in it when it’s so greasy?”

“That is the point! You’re so lucky I don’t tattle on you to Mikey who would probably launch you into the sun for pulling things like that.” Jason groaned and ran his hands down his face. “I’m too tired for this. I just got done with work. I need to sit down.”

The smile returned to his husband’s face. “Yes, yes, go sit. I’m going to fire this up while you relax.” He reached up to lift Holly off his shoulders and held her out. 

The little softshell beamed at Jase, sticking her little hands out and reaching for him. He’d never been able to resist it and pulled her into her arms. Not in a huggy mood however, it seemed. She quickly climbed up his chest and onto his shoulders this time, resuming her sitting position. Her hands ruffled his hair before she nuzzled her nose into it. 

Jason sighed, tolerating it and the inevitable amount of spit that he’d end up having to brush out later. “Fine, I’ll go sit down. But I’m betting this is going to end in a disaster.” 

“Scoff, ye of little faith.”

“So sure of yourself, huh?”

“Naturally.” Donnie put a hand on his chest. “In fact, I’ll meet your bet. I bet it’ll run at least well enough that it becomes a permanent part of the apartment.”

“Uh, huh. And if I win, you do dishes for a week.”

His husband gave a horrified gasp. He grit his teeth as he glanced at the crusted cheese, but then narrowed his eyes as he turned back to Jase. “Fine. And if I win, you’re on bath duty for the week.”

Holly gasped and gripped Jase’s hair so hard that it hurt. “Bath?” 

“Ow, no.” Jason spoke through his teeth and reached up to get his daughter to let go. “Not right now. Maybe later.” 

She blew a raspberry but settled down. 

“Come on, let’s let Dad make a fool of himself on his own.” He turned to head into the living room. “Do you want to watch something on TV?”

“This is going to work.” Donnie called after him. 

Jason ignored it. He plopped onto the sofa and turned the TV on. Holly less climbed off his shoulders and more rolled down onto his lap. 

He didn’t even remotely enjoy most of the kids shows on these days, but thankfully Holly was also strangely fascinated with nature documentaries. Probably due to her being Donnie��s daughter, if Jason had to guess. Then again his father would sometimes tell funny stories about him standing two inches from the TV whenever factory lines were on the screen. 

At any rate, he opened the first animal one he could find. Life cycles of island parrots, sure. It worked its magic well enough. He leaned back against the sofa and Holly curled up on his chest, eyes glued to the screen. 

Jason gently ran a hand over her shell. “How was your day?”

“Mmm,” she just hummed at first, still watching the screen. “Fun.” 

“Yeah? Watched Dad build something crazy in the kitchen.”

“Grill cheese.” 

Jason laughed. “Yeah, guess that would make it a good day.” He was about to ask if she got a nap, but that question was answered as she curled up even tighter. Her eyes struggled to stay open. She never lasted long with him around, mainly because he was so much warmer than her. 

Sadly he didn’t get the chance to listen to her usual squeaky snores. Something snapped in the kitchen, followed by a loud whirring noise, a clang, and then the shattering of ceramics. 

Jason jumped off the sofa, keeping an arm around his daughter to hold her steady. Not steady enough to keep her still, however. The motion woke her right back up and she whined and rubbed her eyes. At least she didn’t burst into tears. 

He rushed into the kitchen and tried not to scream. Half of the contraption was tangled up inside itself, metal limbs straining against their bonds. Three broken plates on the floor, along with a huge puddle of water. And was the pan in the ceiling? Oh it was. It absolutely was.

And Donnie stood there, eyes wide and still crouched down like he had to dodge something and was too afraid to get back up. He glanced at the mess, the device, and then at Jase. 

Jason shifted his grip on Holly so he could hold her with one arm and placed a hand on his hip. “Didn’t work, huh?”

His husband avoided his gaze. “Well… perhaps I need to adjust—”

“Didn’t work.”

“I just need to try—”

“You lost, Donnie, admit it.” 

“Ugh.” He straightened up, fists clenched at his sides. “Fine. Fine. This set up was too rushed. Next time—”

“No. Stop. No next time.” Jason sighed. “I can do the dishes, Donnie, it’s fine.” 

“But it could be easier.”

“Easier than cleaning up the aftermath?” He pointed at the floor and then the ceiling.

“W-well—”

“That’s your job, by the way, along with dishes for the next week. As per our agreement.” He turned around on his heel to head to the living room once more. 

“Ugh, fine! Fine. I’ll do the dumb dishes for a week. You think that’s such a big deal?”

“It will be when Holly leaves the crusts off her sandwiches again and I leave them to soak.” Jason smiled at his daughter who only blinked at him. Obviously not taking in the conversation. 

Donnie let out a horrified screech. “Jase! You wouldn’t dare!” 

“After the five times you’ve left it in there for me to deal with? Yeah, I would dare.” Jason sat on the sofa once more. “Now clean the kitchen.” 

“So cruel!”

“You knew that long before you married me.” He curled up against the cushions and once more Holly lay down on his chest, already trying to doze off again. “And then you went and did that anyway, and now it’s way too late for you to back out.”

“I know we’re bickering, but there’s no way I’d back out of this.” Donnie shouted back as the clink of broken plates came from the kitchen.

Jason smiled, relaxing further into the sofa. Yeah, he knew that. He wouldn’t back out of it either.

Even when his genius husband got stupid ideas like this.

Hope (Future Leo x reader)

Warning: Mentions of blood, death, miscarriage, and a lot of angst.

Blood, destruction, ruins, and death. That's all there was left in the world since the invasion of the Kraang. New York was destroyed and has now become a wasteland almost like a desert, but with no sand. (Y/n) remembered everything about the day when the Kraang first took over with the technodrome. Buildings were destroyed, the residents screams as they collapsed, explosions and fire spreading like a never-ending chain, and when she and her friends had to flee underground to survive. 

She has been friends with the turtles for as long as she can remember and had developed feelings for a certain red-eared slider turtle. They confessed each other's feelings before the invasion and then got married after the invasion. It was a very short, and not-so-formal wedding, but you all made it work. Since then he has become very protective of you. They have lost so much throughout the years, Splinter, Baron Draxum, and Leo lost his dear older brother Raphael. He died while saving people from the Kraang Labor camps and was crushed by the falling debris. Leo tried his best to save him, however, his arm got stuck trying to hold onto Raph and pull him to safety, and with Raph’s last breath, he sliced his arm. The remaining brother has changed since the death of their brother and father and one father feature. Donnie has been staying in the lab working on new inventions and improving their gear to keep his mind busy. Mikey was training hard to improve his mystic powers. He learned a lot from Baron Draxum, but with him gone he had to train and improve on his own. He had to mature so fast that there was a lot of pressure on him to get better so he can save people. Maybe that's why he already has gray hairs on the side of his head. As for Leo, he was very distant from his wife and those around him. He couldn’t face anyone after he failed to save his brother, but as his wife, she had to be there for him even if he was pushing her away. They were all devastated after what happened, and (Y/n) was there for Leo through recovery and mourning, which may have caused a little accident.

“....You’re what?” Leo stared at her dumbfounded by the news she just told him. Did he hear her correctly? Surely she were messing with him. There was no way what he thinks she said was true. “Leo, you know what I said. I’m… pregnant.” she looked away embarrassed as she had to repeat that word to him. Leo’s face turned pale as he sat on the bed staring at his feet. Having a baby during an apocalypse is something no one wants to deal with at the moment. No baby could survive or live in a world like this. Leo put his hands on his head thinking about every possibility that can go wrong. (Y/n) sat down with her husband with hands on her knees looking down. There were no words to describe this situation. It was scary, and becoming parents was hard to believe. It was hard already to lead a resistance, having a child was going to be ten times harder for Leo. There was already so much on his shoulders since Raph has been gone, it was already becoming stressful for him. (Y/n) glanced at him and put her hand on his knee getting his attention. “I know that neither of us wanted this right now, but it's a good thing. Maybe having a baby will be good for us.” She was trying to stay positive even though she feared for her life and her unborn child. Leo stood up and looked at her with fear in his eyes, “But how do we know they would survive in a world like this?! The Kraang could be right at our doorstep and they would kill everyone who gets in their way! No matter how small they are, there is no mercy! This-!.... This isn’t a world where a kid could grow like it use to be…” Leo sat down on the bed again and held her hand “Believe me, I dreamed of having a family with you, a bunch of little mini-me running around and having no care in the world having you by my side watching them grow. I did, but now..” He paused putting his large hand on her stomach “How can we can be sure this one will have a future?...” 

(Y/n) looked at his hand that was resting on your stomach and smiled putting her hand over his “We will. I’m not gonna promise anything… but I want to believe in them. We need to have hope.” Leo blinked at your statement and chuckled a little “Did you take my line?” She grinned leaning on his side as he wrapped his robotic arm around her shoulder “Whaaaat? Meee? Pft I don't know what you are talking about.” Leo puffed his cheeks a little poking at your sides “That's my phase and I claim it to be my own.” You laughed a little trying to shove him away “It’s not my fault you are inspiring, I had to use it!” Leo wrapped his arms around her waist laying his head on her lap “Using my phrase against me. How cruel.” His wife giggled a little stroking the tails of his mask. “But… I will do my best to protect you both. You are both my whole world.” He kissed her shirt then leaned up to kiss her on the lips cupping her face. She kissed him back as she relished this moment with her husband. It was rare for them to have a moment like this anymore. For every mission, there are three rules, no distractions, watch your back, and survive. (Y/N) and Leo sometimes went on missions together, but there were only supply-gathering missions. Even so, they both couldn’t delay the mission because the Kraang will kill at any moment in the open. (Y/n) was the first to pull away from the shortness of breath. Leo stared at her stroking her hair with a small smile on his face. “Wow…, I just realized that I am gonna be a dad. I have so many dad jokes to tell.” You laughed a little “I hope they don’t repeat your jokes… should we tell the others?” Leo stood up quickly and swept her off her feet making her squeak in surprise “Yes! So I can rub it in Donnie’s face!” He ran out of their bedroom and shouted from the top of his lungs as echoes in the hallway “I’m gonna be a dad!!” Donnie jumped as he dropped his tool “WHAT?!” He shouted as he rolled his chair out of his lab. “We’re gonna be uncles?!” Mikey poked his head out of the dojo with sparkles in his eyes that no one has seen in a long time. “I’m gonna be aunt?!” April pokes her head out of the lab with a big smile on her face. Mikey floated to (Y/n) and Leo giving them the biggest hug dragging Donnie in despite his still shell-shocked face, and April gladly joined in on the family hug. (Y/n) had a good feeling that things were going to change for the better. 

After a few weeks, (Y/n) was experiencing all the symptoms of her first trimester. Leo has been by her side through most of it. If he had missions, he would have Donnie, Mikey, or April watch over her. When he would get back, he would give her the best kisses, the best cuddles, and the best care he could offer “Do you need an extra blanket? Water? Anything you are craving? A bucket?  A foot massage? Do you need me to take you to the bathroom?” “Leo I’m only two months pregnant-” He was doing his best, but it showed how much he cared about her and the health of the unborn baby. 

However, no one would predict that the Kraang would attack so quickly. The base was collapsing with every blast that came from the drones. Everyone was running for their lives as they fled from the blasts and into the escape pods. Donnie built large escape pods just in case they needed to flee to their second underground base. Leo was breathing heavily with every step he took. He had to find her. Leo had a team meeting and (Y/n) was taking a nap in the bedroom before the attack started. “(Y/n)!! If you can hear me please answer me!!” Leo shouted through all the destruction and dodged the falling pillars that held the base together. He ran towards the bedroom, pulled the curtain back, and his face paled at the sight. (Y/n) was lying on the floor with a large piece of a pillar on her back and he could see a puddle of blood beneath her. “NO!” He ran to her and struggled to lift the pillar without causing more harm to her. He shook you by the shoulders “(Y/n) wake up!” Hearing her husband's voice, she opened her eyes slowly and whimpered feeling a lot of pressure on her lower back “Leo?...” He sighed in slight relief, but they were not out of the woods yet. “Just hang on. I'm gonna try to move this okay?” You nodded a little. “(Y/n)! Leo! We gotta-” Mikey came floating into the room and his eyes widen at the sight of her sister-in-law on the ground with a large boulder on his back. “Mikey please I need your help!” Leo said with tears in his eyes holding your hand. Mikey rushed on and used his mystic chains to wrap around the pillar and lifted it with ease like it was a feather. Leo quickly picked her up bridal style and moved away for Mikey to drop the pillar. She groaned in response to being moved and put a hand on her stomach as blood stained her pants and Leo’s gloves. Leo held you close holding her head to his chest and pressed his forehead against hers “I gotcha… Leo’s gotcha” She looked a little pale and he feared for the baby, but if there was blood coming from her abdomen, he knew what happened. He was the doctor of the group, he knows what it means. The sounds of screaming and blasts broke him out of his trance and back to reality “Come on! We gotta take her out of her!” Leo looked at Mikey as they both ran out of the bedroom as it caved itself. (Y/n)’s vision was blurry, but she could see all the destruction and fire, and the look on Leo’s face. She felt so much pain in her back and abdomen, and her eyes began to close from the pain, and before she knew it, she blacked out.

(Y/N) jolted awake as she sat up on a bed with an oxygen mask on her face. She groaned and put a hand on her back. She breathed heavily as she took in her surroundings. It appeared to be the medbay, but there are fewer supplies on the shelves than there were before. She was hooked up to an IV and a heart monitor. She slowly calmed down as she pulled the oxygen mask away from her face. Donnie came walking into the room and jumped as he saw her awake. He looked tired and his eyes were puffy and bloodshot like he had been crying. “You’re up! Thank god we thought you would never wake up” He walked over to her and gave her a quick hug. He wasn’t very comfortable with emotions or hugs. (Y/n) knew something was up. “What happened?” She rubbed her back to ease the pain a little. Donnie saw what she was doing and looked her in the face “You were nearly crushed, but you don’t have too many injuries. Leo brought you to me just in time. Although, your back might try to kill you for a little while.” She groaned leaning slowly back on a pillow “Greeeeat like I already haven’t been dealing with that enough.” She chuckled a little, but Donnie flinched at her sarcasm. She looked at him with concern when he didn’t chuckle back. He always loved her sarcasm, yet he was hesitating and looked nervous. “Donnie?...” She was about to question him on his silence until her husband came running in. “(Y/n)!!” Leo ran over to the bed and wrapped her in a hug and nuzzled into her shoulder “You’re here… you're okay..” She wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him back “I’m here… I’m okay for the most part” She nuzzled into his scarf and put a hand on his cheek. Leo pulled back a little and she got a good look at him. He looked worse than Donnie. His eyes were puffy and more bloodshot than Donnie’s were, and she feels him slightly shaking. She was beginning to worry about both of them. Leo saw the confusion on her face and he looked back at Donnie, “Did you tell her?” Donnie flinched at his question and looked away while shaking his head. “Tell me what?...” She stared at the twins looking for an explanation. They both got silent. What weren’t they telling her? Was it about the baby?

 “....Is something wrong with the baby?” Leo looked at his wife and held her closer if that was even possible. Donnie walked over to her and held her hand looking into her eyes “(Y/N), you have been unconscious for 3 days. While you were out, Leo brought you to me and we checked on the baby after we handled your injuries, but… it didn’t make it. I’m so sorry. I tried everything, but I couldn’t save the baby, I'm so sorry.” Donnie choked up a little as he bowed his hand on her lap. Her eyes widen at what Donnie had just told her. The baby… died. She snapped as she broke down in front of her brother-in-law and her husband. Leo wrapped his arms around her tighter as tears soaked his mask again. Donnie just sat in front of the bed with his head bowed and held her hand apologizing over and over like it was his fault he couldn’t save the unborn child. Mikey and April came into the room hearing all the commotion and joined in on the grieving circle. The five of them just sat there, grieving the loss of a family member that they never got to meet.

The others left the medbay leaving (Y/n) and Leo alone together. She stopped crying a little, but she was still trembling to have a blanket wrapped around her. She didn’t want to look at the damage that was done to her body if it couldn’t protect her baby. Leo laid his head on her head wrapping his arm around her shoulder. “I’m so sorry…I’ll miss them too.” He teared up and looked down at his wife as she stared at the ground not responding, but she nuzzled closer to him curling up in the blanket despite the pain she was feeling. She couldn’t tell if it was stomach pain or her heart aching from losing her child. Leo laid her on his lap and rubbed her back. “I can’t promise that things will get better… but we still got a ninja’s greatest weapon, hope.” She glanced up at him and showed a small smile “Okay…Thank you, Leo�� I love you” “I love you too darling.” He leaned down and gave his wife a kiss on the lips stroking her cheek as she closed her eyes deciding to get some rest. They both were gonna go through many trials. Living in an apocalypse is no easy task for anyone, but as long as they have each other, they will be okay. Just have hope.

I find it funny how my friend convinced me to watch Rise because they kept going on about how much Donnie reminded them of me. So now I’m obligated to write some (possibly self projecting) headcanons for him.

-despite what most people believe Donnie is dyslexic and didn’t actually start reading on his own till well into elementary age

-ever since he’s been hooked on books

-loves vocaloid and nightcore

-if he’s burnt out or overstimulated he’ll want nothing to do with physical contact- unless it’s Mikey and he initiates the contact

-is convinced he grew out of his dyslexia but still misreads things and gets left and right mixed up

-0 sense of smell unless it’s something very sweet or on fire

-violently happy stims when excited. I mean stuff like hitting things or himself, shaking violently, or mimicking something he’s seen on tv or in a comic

-gets overstimulated in big crowds and cannot handle flashing lights a lot

-uses made up curse words from books even tho let’s face it, splinter doesn’t care if they say “fuck”

-walks on his toes

-contamination and rumination OCD 100%

-listens to loud music before bed

-owns a hatsune miku cosplay

-will just hang around the house in said cosplay because it makes him feel good

-loves giving gifts to his brothers and April

-Mikey is the biggest victim of this, Donnie can’t resist giving him gifts randomly

-doesn’t wash his hoodie unless it’s absolutely necessary

-doesn’t have insomnia, but instead is terrible at sleeping because of his OCD

#rottmnt donnie #autistic donnie #headcanons #idk how to tag this #self projecting onto the purple one am I? #he’s also aroace #but that’s because I’m autistic and aroace

Rapheal (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014/2016) - Oneshot

If you had to sum up your life, it would be followed by a string of bad luck. You aren’t sure how, but you’ve always had a knack for getting into some complicated situations that you were certain people lived their entire lives avoiding. Now inside a corporate building, you can see a bit of that bad luck has once again struck.

“Leo what do we do!!”

The building was on fire, and the lower levels were pretty much cleared. Leo could see the police cars, ambulance and a few fire trucks below. He’d been doing his last sweep, when Raph got struck with a beam in his left arm. To make matters worse, there was someone screaming for help. Possibly the only one left in the building.

“Donnie, Mikey, grab Raph, I’ll get the girl.”

If they didn’t get out now, the entire floor would collapse, or worse yet, they could be discovered. Raph’s arm was bleeding as both brothers hoisted him up. Leo kicked in the door to the left, immediately spotting the body of someone pressed to the wall, coughing.

The second you saw him, you could feel the color drain from your face. He rushed in your direction, and you barely got a word out before you were basically thrown over the beast’s shoulders. You were terrified as he rushed out the room.

Through the blazing fire, you could see three more. You sobbed, because right now it appears you were actually done for. Whatever these beasts were, you wouldn’t be able to get away. Adrenaline finally kicked in, and you shoved and kicked. Leo grunted at your struggles as they searched for an exit not overtaken with flames.

“Stop fighting, I'm trying to save you!”

“YOU CAN TALK!!!”

He sent you a glare that stopped any resistance, When he pointed to the window, the others nodded. You weren’t sure what they were getting at, that’s until he ran straight for the window, jumping through the glass. It broke and you screamed as he scaled from one side of the building to another close by.

The other three followed behind, and your screams echoed up until the point that he landed on a roof free from the fire. He placed you on your feet, and you dropped, scampering back into a wall. Your eyes were wide, and he turned back. The two others placed the wounded being down, and the one in blue looked scared.

“Leo he’s bleeding a lot, we need to get him help or he’ll be in trouble." Purple spoke. There was a large gash on the one who wore the red bandana, and he was sweating, arm covered in blood.

“I’ll be fine..we gotta keep moving.”

His voice sounded strained, and Leo kneeled down, looking a bit defeated.

You were still having a minor panic attack in the corner. But the fear in those blue eyes, it tugged at your heart. It becomes clear that they care a lot for their friend. You’d really thought they were going to kill you, but it’s obvious now that they hadn’t meant any harm. He’d literally pulled you from a flaming building. You clenched your trembling fist to get it under control. Standing up shakily, you move closer.

“I-I think I can help you.”

All heads turned to you. Leo looked as though he’d completely forgotten you were still there. You approached, carefully. You felt like you had to avoid making any sudden moves. They all carried weapons, so you weren’t too keen on agitating any of them. When you were closer to the bleeding male, their appearance was a little clearer. You could see the shells on their backs.

“You’re turtles..”

Red was wearing an unimpressed look. His scowl made you swallow, and you kneeled right next to him. Your hand was still shaking like crazy, and when you hesitantly reached out for him, he flinched.

“I-I’m not going to hurt you.”

You weren’t sure why you were reassuring him. If any one should be afraid it was you. He still looked guarded, but he didn’t pull away this time. You pressed both your hands to his bloodied arm, covering the wounds the best you could with your fingers. Closing your eyes, you exhaled. None of them were sure what exactly you had planned to do, but Leo’s eyes grew wide when he saw the golden light that was now shining on Raph’s wound.

Donnie gasped and Mikey’s mouth opened. Raph stared in astonishment. At first he could feel the pain, but slowly, the pain was fading. In a matter of seconds, he couldn’t feel a thing. When the light disappeared, your eyes opened, removing your hands. They were still dirtied with blood, but there was no longer an injury.

“Ya..healed it..”

Raph could hardly believe it, and they’d all seen it with their own eyes. You still looked a bit skittish, but you sent him a smile, using the back of your palm to wipe some of the soot from your face. You looked over at the blue one.

“T-Thank you for saving me Mr. Turtle.”

Leo wasn’t really sure what to say, so he just nodded.

For the first time in your life, your luck wasn’t as sucky as you thought.

~~

“Heads up (Y/N)!”

Mikey’s yell came too late, the shirt he tossed hit you right in the face, and you fell back on the couch. Leo shook his head, moving over to scold his brother.

“Stop messing with her Mikey.”

You pulled the material from your face with a weak glare.

“Y-You’re mean Mikey.” You grumbled.

He knew full well your reflexes were as sharp as a new born baby.

Nonexistent.

To say that meeting the turtles was an unlikely turn of events was an understatement. Just a few months ago you were on a roof freaking out, but today, being in the lair with them felt as natural as breathing. They were all unique in their own way, and heroes in every way.

“I’m heading to the dojo to meditate.” You stood.

“I’ll be right there.”

It wasn’t unusual for you to join Leo. You walked with him to the dojo with a smile. When you both got there, you took a seat, and he did the same, folding his legs. You exhaled, closing your eyes.

“How was school?” He questioned.

“It was pretty good. I met a really funny guy today. His name is Peter. Some idiot was beating on a kid and he stepped in. I’ve seen him before in class and he’s always been pretty quiet. But the way he stood up to that bully sort of reminded me of you Leo.” You opened your eyes, and Leo smiled.

“I’m glad you’re getting more settled. How are your abilities, are you still getting headaches?”

“Nope, I think I got a handle on it.”

Leo really is good at the whole leader thing.

“That’s great. I think meditating is really helping. “

In all honesty, it helped a lot. You owed a lot to the boys, more than you could ever repay. Your head turned at the sound of footsteps approaching. Your eyes lifted, meeting a pair of green ones.

“Ya still into that meditating crap.” Your cheeks colored, and you looked down at Raph’s words.

“Not all of us use brute force to deal with our problems, Raph. We can’t all be unhinged.” He scoffed, shrugging his shoulders, mumbling as he headed to the punching bag. Leo had planned to fully ignore his brother, but he took notice of the way your eyes seemed glued to Raph.

For a moment he assumed you were just uneasy, but that wasn't discomfort in your eyes. It looked like..adoration. You must have realized you were staring, because you cleared your throat, closing your eyes hurriedly, and Leo just smiled.

~~~~~

“Damn it Raph you never listen!!”

Leo’s yell was the first thing you heard from the entrance. You basically jumped off the chair. Raph was limping, and bleeding from his right leg. Leo looked pissed, and Donnie and Mikey were caught in the middle.

“I’m tired, can ya save those lectures for another time.” Raph pushed past Leo, but he grabbed his shoulder.

“Why can’t you just follow my orders, I told you to go. What if you’d gotten shot somewhere fatal, then what!”

“Then they would have been sorry.”

“You should have just left when I said too!!” Leo is fuming, and Raph finally retaliates with a yell.

“I WASN’T GONNA JUST WATCH YOU GET HURT!!”

Raph looks pissed, and he takes a step back looking down.

“I couldn’t do it..not again..”

A look of understanding crossed Leo’s face. Donnie and Mikey were wearing the same look. Leo sighed, lowering his head. From the looks, it’s obvious this had something to do with an earlier event. You hated to see them fighting like this, and the last thing you ever thought you’d do was get in between, but the glaring wound on Raph’s leg was making you anxious.

“P-Please let me heal you.”

Your voice sounds so small, and Leo now looks at you in concern.

“I-I’m okay, I can do it. I haven’t gotten any headaches. I’ll be fine.” He knew you were just trying to reassure him.

“Let her help you, Raph.” From Leo’s tone, it wasn’t a request.

For once, Raph didn’t fight.

“Let’s just get it over with."

He marched straight for the dojo, and you shuffled behind. Leo walked away, probably to find somewhere quiet to clear his head.

Raph took a seat against the wall. You knew he was doing all he could to appear like he wasn’t in pain. You rolled up your long sleeves, reaching your hand out. The entire time you worked, you didn’t look at him directly. You kept your eyes on the bullet wound. The minute your hand made contact, his body tensed. Whether from the pain, or your touch itself, you couldn’t tell.

The glow followed, and Raph’s eyes stayed planted on you. He may have imagined it, but he swore he saw a bit of sadness in your eyes. A few seconds of you healing, and he saw your eyes look down. It’s like you were trying to hide your gaze from him. When he could no longer feel the pain in his leg, you removed your hand. The light vanished, and you dropped the bullet on the floor.

“Good as new.”

Your voice sounded strangely shaky, and before he could question it, you were rushing out the room. Raph just sat there, completely lost.

~~~

“Leo, have you seen my textbook, I think I left it here.”

You were still raiding the couch, and when you lift your head, Leo isn’t the one on the other side.

“Whatcha lose?”

Raph had a sai in his hand. From the looks of it he’d just got done with a training session.

“J-Just my-” You pause when your eyes catch it at the top of the fridge. You groaned.

“Mikey, what did I say about moving my stuff?”

Whenever he saw pizza he just threw stuff everywhere. You grabbed a chair, and Raph watched as you stood to grab the book. He walked over, and you glanced to the side.

“Ummm, d-did you need something?”

“Nah, just waiting for you to drop something.”

“I-I’m not that clumsy!”

You huff, yanking the book from on top of the fridge. Whatever was on top of it rolled right off, coming straight for you. You flinched and Raph grabbed the glass bottle before it could hit you. He just smirked, and you flushed, looking away as you stepped down.

“T-Thank you.”

“I didn’t hear ya, what was that?”

You clutched the book closer to your chest, looking up at him.

“Thank you, Rapheal.”

That playful smirk seemed to fall from his lips as he looked at you. Something was different, he could feel it. There was something warm about the way you were looking at him. Suddenly he didn’t feel as confident. Your gaze was so inviting and innocent, it made him shift a little.

“Next time be careful.”

He was turning and you weren’t sure why, but he was walking pretty fast. You were puzzled, but decided not to question it. A part of you is happy. That’s the first time that you’d spoken with him without running off. It was still pretty small, but progress nonetheless.

~~~

“I thought he wanted to watch this?”

The movie already started, but Mikey and the others were nowhere in sight. Raph heard a chime on the phone, and he read the message.

“They're stuck at April’s. Leo said ya can start the movie, they’ll be here for the next one.”

It was weird, because Mikey was going crazy about watching the new bumblebee movie. It was action packed with just the right amount of comedy. You just shrug it off, pulling at the sleeve of your shirt. You were both sitting on the couch, but you were at a slight distance. There was a blanket between you both, but you were a bit scared to make a move any closer to him. It was getting a bit chilly.

“Ya cold.” He turns, and you jump.

“Y-Yeah just a little.” He picked up the blanket, draping it over your shoulder.

“Leo will never let me hear the end of it if ya got sick.” You smile to yourself, hugging it to your body.

“Thanks.” You leaned into the couch, watching as the film began.

For the most part you found yourself laughing at the robot’s antics, and at one point you even heard Raph chuckle. The little smile on his face made you blush. You were so used to his tough guy personality. Lately you were seeing a lot of different sides of him. When the movie finally ended, you were a bit disappointed. You wanted it to last a little longer. You wanted more time with Raph.

“Kinda unrealistic, a robot and a person.” Raph muttered.

You hadn’t been oblivious to how glued he was to the plot.

“Why do you think it’s unrealistic?”

“They’re too different.”

You gulped, moving closer to him.

“I-I didn’t think so!”

Your words came out louder than you intended, and Raph looked down.

“I-If two people care about each other, then it wouldn’t matter what they are. Robot or human.”

“Mutant or human.”

That’s what you wanted to say. But there was no way those words would ever leave your lips.

“Ya should stop reading those fairytales.” You frowned at him, and just as he looked like he was about to leave, you grabbed his hand.

“It’s not a fairytale, not to me. Love is love. It isn’t always straightforward and it certainly isn’t bound to what others perceive. More than anyone, you should know that physical appearance isn’t all that matters. There’s so much more to it than that.”

“Ya trying to tell me ya really think someone could fall in love with something like me.”

He looks defiant, and your previous annoyance seems to fade. He wasn’t saying this because he didn’t support it, he just didn’t believe it was possible. He was scared.

“I do believe that, because I already have.”

His expression emits nothing but disbelief. It takes a moment for him to realize that you’re still holding onto his hand. You’re a lot closer than before. Whether it has been from the argument, or your confession, he wasn’t completely sure. Your eyes are searching his, and when they stray to his lips, Raph swallows.

“She couldn’t be..”

He could feel your grip tighten just a little, as you leaned in slowly. It was almost careful, like you were scared if you made a sound or moved too fast that it would all be over. The closer you got, the faster his heart hammered. You pressed your lips to his in a quick kiss, pulling back immediately as you dropped into your seat.

Both your hands were now firmly planted in your lap, and you wouldn’t look at him. He nearly thought he imagined the entire thing, but your cheeks were on fire. He grinned to himself. It was obvious to him that you’d never done that before. You refused to look at him, and he swore it was the cutest thing he’d ever seen. You were the one who initiated the kiss, and just a few moments ago you were speaking so confidently.

“Ya call that a kiss.”

You turned to fire some retort back, but Raph slipped his hand gently behind your neck as he kissed you. You froze. His eyes were closed, and his lips felt so amazing. This felt amazing. You often heard the girls in your class raving about their first kiss. Until now you never really understood what they meant. It finally made sense.

Your hands moved to his chest, and you leaned into him. You needed to get closer, you had to. Your arms wrapped around his neck, and Raph shifted, pulling your body into him. His palms smoothen on your hips, and your back arched unconsciously. Your brows knitted when you felt his tongue slide across your lips. Raph pulled back, his breathing heavy. You were pretty much the same.

“We gotta-”

He didn’t get the rest of the words out, you reclaimed his lips, and he actually moaned when your tongues touched. From your eagerness, it was obvious you could care very little for talking right now. You pushed him back lightly, and his back hit the head of the couch as your hands pressed into the cushions at the sides of his shoulders.

You weren’t slowly down, and Raph actually felt a bit lightheaded at how good you were at this. One of your hands ran over the back of his neck, and he had to force himself to refrain from letting out another moan. You were always so meek and clumsy, so when did you become so dominant and demanding?

Maybe if you both weren’t so invested in your little session, you would have heard the rest of them come in. You and Raph only stopped because of the box hitting the floor. You pulled apart, chest heaving, pupils full blown. Raph looked dazed, and that’s when you took in the other people in the room.

“Bruh…”

Mikey wasn’t sure there was a right word for what he just saw. Even April was with them. Your face was every possible shade of red. There was no way you could make this seem like anything other than what just happened. They saw it all. You buried your face into Raph’s chest, embarrassed, and he just cleared his throat, looking away from them.

“Anyone up for a movie?” Raph stated.

He knew for a fact that he would never live this down.

32 Weeks Tracklist/Song Picks pt. 3 (weeks 17-24)

How/Why did I choose/chose to use the songs I did

*Full breakdown, updated in real time(weekly)*

17. Killer Mike ft. El-P, thankugoodsir x Don't Let The Devil

I have always respected Killer Mike as an artist and I a few years back respected his political endeavors. Mike has never let me down lyrically when I heard him on features. Honestly, though I respect him, I never really got into his music. I did at one point either last year or the year prior, check out his album "R.A.P. Music" and I started listening to the RTJ series. His vocal presence is one of a kind. I have this thing where I feel that an artist's recorded voice really determines if I want to hear them. There are several emcees that I just can't get into due their voices not being conducive to my ears. Mike and El-P have amazing deliveries. In June (2023) Killer Mike drops 'Michael' and I knew from the very first listen that this album is/would be a classic. I listened to it on repeat for a week. Andre 3000 makes an appearance on my favorite track "Scientist & Engineers". I actually have many songs on this album I f*ck with: "Something for the junkies", "Motherless", "Slummer", "Talk'n that shit", and "Run". In June, I was nearing the end of writing for #32weeks, and I was having a hard time (as usual) finding a beat. I knew I wanted to incorporate some instrumentals from this album. I truly wanted to use "Scientist & Engineers" but I didn't feel as eccentric as Dre, and the intro before the beat drops, was too long lol. Instead, I landed on "Don't Let The Devil'. I had this melody in my head that came when vibing to beat. It becomes those opening lines "Tell me, do you smell me? That's peace of mind, and deep patchouli" (the fragrance oil I have been wearing since my early 20's) and it led me to to rhyme Halle Berry. Then I went on a tangent to try an remember where did I hear "almost went Eric Benet....never do Eric Benet" and then I remember it's Jay Z's line from "Kill Jay Z". After I complete the comparisons, I launch into some metaphors that to this day are some of my favorites on this project. I used one more instrumental from this album, but I will share when it's time. Hope you enjoy the track!

18. Pusha T ft. Jay Z, Pharrell x Neck and Wrist Don't Lie

If there is one thing you can guarantee from Push, when he releases a project, not only will the album but fire, but he usually has a great knack for themes/motifs/stories, but dude is soooo creative at giving the listener "dope" lines. Like when I want to hear a rapper speak about cocaine...I usually prefer Pusha. His wordplay, and metaphors are immaculate when it especially outlines hustling/moving coke. Which is why I didn't even hesitate, as soon as "Almost Dry" came out, I was all over it. The beats, the cadence, and stories made that project amazing. going into #32WeeksMixtape, I quickly understood that I wanted use a beat from his album. So many good ones, "Brambleton", "Dreaming of a Past"(Donnie's sample gives me chills and makes me tear up each time I hear this come on...), "Just So You Remember"(reminds of a movie that I can't recall the title of..), "Diet Coke"(only I can have a snow fight...damn fire) "Rock N Roll"(Ye and Cudi...c'mon man what else you what) "Scrape it off"...basically you see the problem...all of them are hot. I just kept coming back to "Neck and Wrist Don't Lie". This one just was more so my cadence/vibe. The first line that came to me one while airing the beat on repeat "Roll around the South side, stereo banging.." That bar lead to talking about my Orgone pendant. Then I flowed into the idea of talkign about my wife...I couldn't resist...which is a reference to the track before (week 17) where I mention my smell/colgne/oils I wear are Patchouli and Peace of Mind. AFter knocking out those lines, I got into a string of drug based lines, which are derived from the "cooking" analogy. After I got to "Rappy Mason", I got stuck again. But then we changed gears and I wanted highlight that I admire Dolph and Nipsey for their business ventures and I too would love B.L.A.M.E to be a company/brand that I run and nothing else. I want to be the boss. Anyway I hope you enjoy the visuals. I love when things don't straight away make sense, this makes us think harder, and even ask questions. So please feel free to comment on here or on the video with questions or thoughts!

19. Vince Staples x Rose Street

YOOOOO!!! In case you don't know, Vince's "Ramona Park Broke My Heart" album is just incredible. I will do my best to keep this brief...🤞🏾. Ok, first off this album dropped last April (2022). I had been wishing on a another album from Vince because "Vince Staples" (self titled) was lit. Anyway, a few days or weeks, honestly I have no clue, it is posted that Vince was to do a "live" or streamed version of the album via Moment House in May of that year. I was soooo geeked. I had missed the ONE concert that came to St. Louis in Feb 2022. It was the "Call Me If You Get Lost Tour". My wife and I did want to see Vince, but since he wasn't headlining...(and since this is before my indoctrination of Tyler, the Creator's music), we decided against it. 😢😒 My dumbass. haha. Anyway, I had selected the Monday, May 2, for our viewing. I was enchanted that entire show. I f*ck with Vince because of his musical ability, but really for his art that surrounds it. His videos are always sharing a message about class/race/violence/dangers of the music show business. "Ramona Park Broke My Heart" has some dope tracks. Like literally I can't really just list a few...but I will try my hardest. Ok.."When Sparks Fly', gave me hella chills. He basically makes you think off the bat that he is talking to his woman...and then he immediately pulls the rug out from under you. *plot twist* lol. This song reminds me of Nas' 'I gave you power'. I don't want to ruin the surprise, if you don't know, you have to listen to both songs and witness the greatness both artists display on these tracks. The other favorite that truly sticks to my mind, mainly due to the production is "Rose Street"(the skit right before it IS POWERFUL!!). I love the idea that he states he "don't sing no love songs". That might be true regarding women, but "When Sparks Fly" is nothing short of a love ballad. Rose Street was not the first beat I wanted to use. I think "Playa Ways", and "Lemonade "were top contenders, however, they just didn't fit the direction I was moving with #32weeksMixtape. "East Point Player" has high replay value, but was too slow for my flow. Rose Street's theme of denying love for women(or rather the idea of falling in love with women), or not being able to trust them, and being married to the streets had me wanting to flip the vibe. The chorus was the first idea that came to me, "She know we in love, all in, Us, all in, Trust, all in...I'm married to my very bestfriend. And it's gone be like that until the very end." The next thought was how to go about that topic. Out of nowhere, I was like "I will never forget the time you chose to say yes". I am so happy that I wrote about my proposal. It's one of those things that I guess I deemed sacred, and didn't want to ruin it by sharing it with the world. But as an artist I have come to realize and understand that the best music is the relatable stuff. If you have proposed to someone, you would know that universal feeling of 'what if they say no?'. I hope you enjoy, share, like, and comment on the video with your thoughts. It would be dope if people share their marriage proposals either on here or my "YouTube Channel Community Tab" . I love stuff like that. If you are reading this, thank you, I love you, and I hope you are well. 💙💙💙

20. Killer Mike ft. Young Thug, Dave Chappelle x Run

I know what you are thinking..."Bro, didn't you use a track from this album already?" YES!!! I Did!! Honestly I wanted to keep a tamper on the amount of artist I would use in the project, and came to the conclusion that I would use some artist/albums more than once. I actually wrote to "RUN" before I wrote to "Don't Let The Devil". I have already outlined why I gravitated to this album, so I want to highlight my content in this track. The verse is written in vignettes(I am uncertain if that is the correct word to use) but each section is a quick blurb about a point in my life. The first is me getting arrested...and not running. Second, was me getting stopped by an officer on my way to the school's gym to practice, and how that could have ended horribly...there were no witnesses, I was by myself, and truly at the mercy of this officer. He wasn't ignorant, but still.. you do get it....right? This was back in like 2006 or 2007. The next story is me playing on the team. I had respect and that's all I needed. I know I wasn't the best. I will talk that more around Week23. Next, I lay the summary of my foot game. I walked everywhere. That was life changing. My mama gave me freedom to visit friends, get a job, and I did it all independently so that I wouldn't have to wait or rely on others. It did get tricky in the winter, but even then, I would double up my jacket/hoodie and walk or run to work. I was serious about making my bread. I touch briefly on the emotional ways I ran from relationships. Gratefully, Erin would remain in my life even though I ran from her love all those years. The final story is me opening up about a being involved in a consensual sexual experience with 5 other people. I learned that day that exhibitionism or group sexual acts, were NOT my thing. I know for some this isn't big deal. But I was very uncomfortable. I also learned that it is ok to walk away/run from something like that. I am grateful that I didn't allow the pressure to keep me in that room that night. I remember everyone that was there...we really haven't talked in years, 2 are actually not on this plane of existence anymore. I am happy I found a way to express to this incident because it bothered me for years not getting it off my chest. With all that said, if you read all this...thank you again for listening. I hope all is well with you. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to hit my Youtube Channel, My email, or message me on here!

21. Kanye West ft. Roddy Ricch x Pure Souls

I'm gonna cut directly to the chase, the first(second, and third) time I listened to "Donda"...I didn't get it. Then I realized/learned that Donda was his mother's name. During the process of writing #32WeeksMixtape, I had already seen the Jeeny-uhs Documentary(full documentary on NETFLIX). That sh*t broke my heart. I remember hearing years ago about how much his mother poured into that boy/man. He truly felt invincible. So even though as someone who hasn't lost their mother, but has lost a father, I didn't comprehend fully his messages, but I FELT it. I knew I wanted to use a Ye beat for this project, but the issue was where would I pull from. My first instinct was to use the KIDS SEE GHOST album...so many fire tracks to use. Then I was I like, nah, maybe The Life Of Pablo---No way. I knew I couldn't live up that hype! Yeezus, though dope af, is too experimental for my style. I started clicking through Donda... Jail...OMG. I love those "guitars" in the intro, but there aren't any drums...which I prefer lol. God Breathed was a big pull, but nothing popped in my head. I think Off the Grid was a HUGE fav from this album. But again, nothing came to mind, at least nothing good. Then I heard that intro of Pure Souls, just...well you know. I am playing it right now as I write this and I am tearing up. "...and I can not sell my soul!" - fire. I sat with this beat for at least a week. I heard that "truth is what you get away huh" and it started clicking. I knew that at the top of the verse I would go into a traumatic event that happened to me during my first year as a school counselor. Not to go into too many details, but a child had nude images of themselves on their district iPad, but in a way that suggested that they did not take the photo themselves. The photos were shown to me nonchalant and something like "Look this boy got porn on his device, smh." I was the one to point out that it was the child and not an adult. THAT SH*T F*CKED ME UP!! There were several images. Protocol was violated, I did my part like I was supposed to, I did a mandated call and some more stuff. After dealing with that parent who was clearly gaslighting, hiding evidence, and was manipulative..it did a number on my psyche. Earlier in the year I had been researching about Past Life Regressions. This one guy on YouTube named Astro Einstein, was uploading his sessions with his clients and truly opened my eyes to how it could help me. One day I will share my experience more in-depth but I do talk about it on it slightly in my mixtape, week 11, Tyler, The Creator x Massa verse. Later, I was able to find a therapist to talk through it as well. I learned so much about boundaries and protecting my peace. I won't let someone violate me like this again. Anyway, I hope you rock with the song. Every time I play through the tape, after this song, comes week 22, and it always brings a sense of relief because the sequencing sets up a sort of endorphin release...you will see😉. I think those who are going through it, or just coming out of a storm, will feel the relief the most. If you are reading this still, thank you!! And if no one has told you today that they love you, motherf*cker, I do!!

22. Metro Boomin ft A$AP Rocky & Roisee x Am I Dreaming

YOOOOO!!! Ok lets go back to May of this year 2023...I don't know about you, but the sequel to the most dopest animated Spidey film was about to drop(yes I know this trailer is from Dec. 22)...but what makes this even more special...it is announced that muthaf*ckin' Metro Boomin was going to be the lead on the soundtrack. A month later, in June, the album/soundtrack is released! My wife, kids, and I had it on heavy rotation; "METRO BOOMIN PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE". The whole project is fire. Some songs grew on me over time but overall amazing replay value. As you should know by now, June was heavy #32weeksMixtape writing era. I turned this on and knew I had to pick something...even though I had already used a Metro Track, "Umbrella" (from "Heroes and Villains"). "Annihilate" comes in so hot. I wanted it so bad but couldn't find a version online that sounded good enough. My next pick was "Givin' Up(Not the One)" because I think I sound as good as 21 Savage over a Metro Boomin beat. *Don't forget he is in Umbrella!*. But I felt the tempo was just slightly too slow. "Self- Love" stood out instantly however, the words just didn't come to me. OMG, I almost forgot, Danger! JID killed it, and I felt I couldn't get away from his type of flow, or do any better for that matter. This leaves me with 2 other picks that I actually land on. "Calling" & "Am I Dreaming". I will talk more about "Calling" in a few weeks. "Am I Dreaming"...those strings, they get me every f*cking time. Even now as I write this, it's playing in my earbuds. For those who haven't seen the film, which I am sure everyone has at this point, the movie's ending credits feature this track. Perfecto! Anyway, at this point in writing the project, I was just over halfway, and felt this immense burden lifted. I start reflecting on the process and the hook came to me. This was written before I saw the movie. Climbing/falling, swimming/drowning, doubting/making it to the next round, ultimately defeating myself(fear, doubt, disbelief, old behaviors) and becoming a more evolved me. this works on two levels as I introduce my big brother. I say a lot about his athleticism, (which I go into more the next song), because we bonded heavily over basketball. I mention in week 20 (RUN remix) about how he was/is great which is how I knew I wasn't great. So imagine seeing someone who is great and still rejected! I had to include it. My brother, David, has been through a lot. I remember being old enough to see his flaws, his bad choices, and immaturity. I told myself I would never be like him. I referred to him as the role model for what I didn't want to be. Which is crazy, because as a youngin'--with out a father, I wanted to be as cool as him! As time passed, having my own kids, seeing my brother rise and fall, dealing with my own issues, it finally clicked. My brother was a human. Nothing more and nothing less. Humans make mistakes, we learn, hopefully evolve, and do less harm as we proceed. It is truly an eye opening, mind blowing, bone crushing reality, to acknowledge that someone you put on a pedestal falls...but it hurts more when you see yourself in them (empathy and compassion). David, if you ever read my sh*t, I hope you know I am proud of you. You are worthy of love. You are an awesome father, brother, uncle, and more! You have been blessed with so many f*cking talents and gifts. My hope and wish is that you see what I see when I look at you today....SUPER!!! Those of you coming and checking for Cato's sh*t, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years (ha!)from now, I love you and hope that you tell those people that you really care about that you f*cking love them too! Enjoy the song and the visuals!!

23. Lil Durk ft. Morgan Wallen x Stand By Me

I am very new to listening to Lil Durk. I remember seeing some of his early mixtapes many years ago, but wasn't interested. Students I would work with also brought him up in a few different conversations. During summer school this past year (SY 22-23, June '23) which was deep #32weeksMixtape writing era, I actually asked some kids, what Durk song(s) should I check out. This was about a month after the album dropped, which I had no idea about. The album is titled "Almost Healed". The kids told me to check out "All My Life". They recommended the track "Expedite This Letter" from the Album/mixtape "7220". Listening to it now, it cringes me out thinking that these elementary scholars shared this one with me...if you check it out, you will see why I feel grossed out. Anyway, back to "All My Life". This caught me by surprised because it features J.Cole! I was like, "Ok, I most definitely have to check this out." What I noticed is that the album opens up like a "Therapy Session" which as a school counselor, hooks me right in. Especially coming off that "Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers" almost on a daily basis, this makes me happy that another artist is opening up in a seemingly genuine way about their issues with out the bravado. This made me feel like, "I f*ck with dude." I delved into the album, now lets list the tracks I wanted to fool with the most..."All My Life" instantly I had to let go because Cole already snatched it. I didn't feel I could add anything to it. But the song is amazing. "Put Em On Ice" has a vibe I like, however, nothing came to mind. "War Bout It ft. 21 Savage"...at this point, you know when Savage is a feature, I usually f*ck with it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solid remake beat. There were 2 others I liked and actually used. Cross the Globe ft. Juice Wrld, and "Stand By Me". I will get back to you on Cross the Globe. "Stand By Me" comes on and I hear the melody, instantly I feel nostalgic. "Ok, Lets Go Way Back..." I began with a string of exercises that I did with Big Bro Dave. I mention him in the previous post. Those days left such an impression on me. We kept track of our progress, our reps, and were really getting shredded. By Middle School my muscle mass was awesome. All the exercise I did helped keep my asthma in check. Also to clarify, Varsity did not win the state championships! SMH. I had to research it(after I already completed the damn video), and saw my school actually came in 3rd that year...which still a huge accomplishment. The game that I reference was big game because it was the last game for the season, and by winning got us a spot to play in the championship tournament. Apart of me is embarrassed for making this mistake, and being negligent in not double checking the facts. The other side of me, the artist, says who cares?! We were so f*cking excited and elated, that it FELT like we won the motherf*cking state championship title! Anyway, at this moment I would love to shout out my team mates, I appreciate those years playing along side you. I also want to shout out the coaches. I doubt you will ever see this, but I appreciate the life lessons of always hustling to get what you what, getting up and at it, and REBOUNDING! Not only is my son currently playing ball, my other son is interested as well, and I have the honor of coaching the elementary school kids I work with! These kids are just as hardworking as they are hard headed, but I love it. Appreciate anyone who is reading this right now. Let this long as post remind you that: 1. nothing lasts forever(esp pain) 2. You can always try again 3. A break can fix you(a day off, a step back, take a breather, then come back harder/better than ever). If no one has told you today, I love you...Now share that love with someone else!

24. Joyner Lucas ft. Timbaland x 10 Bands

First off, I knew Joyner was cold. I just never really got into him. My wife actually was bumping his sh*t before me. She shared with me ISIS...and I was like WTF!!! I had been into Logic at the time, going through his catalog. It was around this time she told me play ISIS. Hearing Joyner I was like this dude on a whole 'nother level. It took awhile but I had went through his whole album 'ADHD'. Fast forward to the #32weeks writing era, and I remembered that ADHD had some dope ass instrumentals. Lets see...ISIS is tough, but too fast, not my style, and they already murdered it twice..."double homicide kill the beat and the verses..." "The War" is sonically pleasing but I don't think I could come up with anything. "I love" is a banger for sure. Not my vibe though....ok I don't know what's going on, but sliding through this mf right now, I f*ck with all these beats. I don't what I was thinking, I think "10 Bands" came on/I found an instrumental that had good quality and closest to the original and the hook just came to me. "Parenting, Parenting, Parenting, this go out to the parents yeah!" There is one more beat that actually use from this album...i use the title track. It is something about the way the beat wobbles and is wavy. We will talk about that soon. Anyway, the verse for 10 Bands is just a blub about my boys. I try to include them in all my works now that they are here. They inspire me so much. The idea for this song is that I lay out their annoying traits, but then follow up with their amazing qualities. What is even more crazy is that as a parent we see our own personalities within our children play out in many different ways. I love them boys for real. I don't know how that video will be up. As of now they enjoy seeing themselves on the screen, but if that should change I will take it down. I almost forgot! In the verse I say "I told you they were little sh*ts.." This is a reference to the actual track/theme song of the Little Sh*ts Podcast my wife and I had did awhile back. In the video I have the Spotify track on display and circle it.

P.S.

I can't believe that this is number 24...like I have been consistently creating visuals, creating snippets of those(about 2-4), posting each of those on each f*cking social media site that I have an account for, writing up the "behind the music" post on here...EVERY F*CKING WEEK FOR THE LAST 24 WEEKS!!! I know this isn't exactly the info to put in theses posts, but I know that *you*(maybe a week from this post, or a year, hell even 5 years now) will be reading this like, "Damn n*gga, it's not that hard.." 1st off, remember I work a full time job every week day, I have a family, these activities that contribute to fulfillment of a project that as of today isn't "seen" at all or taking serious. Like on my mama, this definitely the greatest project that I have ever endured. I mentioned to people before I started releasing tracks, that the #32weeks itself (the writing, the time consumed on my mf phone/CPU, the struggle to maintain sanity while dealing with tough 8hr work day, to stay connected to family, and through it all, actually see this visual mixtape to its completion! So please make some noise for me on the internet. Help me make history. Time is not on our side, but time spent building something incredible that make life feel more limitless, to me, is time well spent. Apologies if that all sounded bitter and crass, it just feels like no one sees that effort that goes into this. I love you and hope you are taking care of yourself. Give the tracks play and please share it all with a music geek who can get into my music! 💙💙💙 I just found out today another acquaintance from earlier in my life has passed. He went LIVE on Facebook and basically expressed that he was tired, he felt alone, and felt like no one loved him. He made that video yesterday(~12/20) and I saw that new of it today (12/21). RIH RM. I know I can't be there for everyone, but apart of me wishes that I reached out to him the minute I saw his video...and I didn't. 💔 So my heart is slightly heavy as I write this. I know I am not to blame, because I don't have the power to control a man's decisions. To counter the negative feelings I have right now, I chose to practice gratitude. I am grateful for my life, grateful for my wife, grateful for my sons, grateful for my family, grateful for my homies[Domo, Tyson, Will, Paris(💔💙), Brandon, my f*cking brother Dave]grateful for the chance to create music, grateful that I have grown, grateful for love...Love is...beauitful. If you see this, well mf, I am grateful for you as well.

[its-wabby-stuff]

It’s probably stating the obvious at this point, but Donnie has got to be one of the most involved and useful members of the apocalypse.

He’s literally keeping it all standing.

Between his engineering skills, weapons manufacturing, ninpo (single handedly providing a secure network for things to function on), big brain knowledge, and even his botany. This man is literally on fire.

But, out of the things he’s most commonly known for, I have to believe that his Botany skill is actually keeping the resistance alive. Like the actual people. For many many reasons.

Primarily because Donnie has lived underground for the most of his life. Him, and his brothers, are used to working underground. Meaning by now, Donnie has perfected growing artificial plants without sunlight and with biochemical engineering. Since, in a scrapped episode idea for season two Donnie grows a huge pumpkin for a competition. Something that can only be useful when trying to feed hundreds or thousands of people.

Secondly, so many products we have now are the result of plants. Like it ridiculous how much you can transform plants into other things. Now, the infrastructure is gone, so obviously not all these uses are valid anymore. There is limited space so plants can’t be grown in massive fields. So we need the important plants. Plants that can be eaten and plants that can be utilized. A primary example of this would be plants used for medicines, or plants with healing properties. Helping to restore wounded soldiers to tip top fighting shape. And, one that prolly takes up the most of whatever sort of gardens they have, would be wheat and oats. Since it’s pretty quick growing, and if you grind it down and add water you’ve got a questionably tasty but hearty meal for any apocalypse survivor: mush.

Lastly, chemicals. Chemicals are made from plants right? If broken down to their base form. In the movie, it is seen that weapons, traditional weapons the government has on hand, are not useful against the krang. But in the bad timeline, we still see them using those traditional weapons. I think Donnie, and some other science professionals, early in the apocalypse created a destructive drug type thing to use (Think Aprils herbicidal deforestation bomb). Which was very helpful, and gave them a shot at first. Though, I imagine eventually the production of this drug stopped and it was stored to be rationed out more as a fail safe than anything else. But leave it to Donnie to combine his two favorite things- weapons and plants.

Now, while all these things were probably incredibly important in the start, most likely some of these things started getting kicked to the curb the more the resistance moved, the more people died, the more the Krang grew in numbers, and the less space they had. But I really do think Donnie’s side passion of plants helped keep the resistance alive. And it’s a simple enough thing to be able to hand off to others. So Donnie can focus on the plethora of others things he’s working on to stop the krang.

TMNTxLMK CROSSOVER AU

I’m currently planning on making a fic on where the characters from TMNT 2012 lives the lives of LMK

It’s basically a crossover AU with:

Mikey as MK (Obviously with this one, Michelangelo and MK are basically the same person. They’re kind-hearted, energetic, sometimes can be a bit goofy, really creative, and lots more!)

April as Mei (Her personality is a mix between Mei and her TMNT self, she still retains her badass ninja skills, could come off as clingy but she means well, she rides a motorbike like Mei, but instead of wielding a blade she wields a tessen)

Donnie as Mr. Tang ( I don’t know why, it probably doesn’t make any sense but trust me on this. It’s probably because they have the same traits, they’re calm under pressure... okay sort of calm.)

Slash as Pigsy (He’s still a turtle in this tho, but he’s now the same size as the main turtles in the TMNT universe. Instead of owning a noodle shop, he owns a pizzeria. This isn’t offensive right? )

Leatherhead as Sandy (This one doesn’t need any explanation)

Klunk as Mo (Bcuz we need our kitties)

Leonardo as Sun Wukong (at first I was kinda unsure at first but then it suddenly clicked to me, Leo and Wukong have a lot of similarities, they’re impulsive, extremely self-sacrificial, afraid of failure, and so much more. Also Leo being a mentor figure to Mikey is something I can’t resist ;)

Tigerclaw as Demon Bull King (Like Leo I was unsure at first but then my partner pointed out some nice angsty ideas to do with him)

Casey as Red Son (Unlike Red Son, Casey already made his place in team Mikey, he still possesses fire powers and is a prince. Casey would sometimes make snarky and sarcastic comments but he would still do his best to support the team.)

Let me know what you think of this and if you have some suggestions let me know^^

Donnie jumped off the rooftop, grunting as his feet hit the concrete. He could’ve done that more gracefully, and quietly too. But agility and stealth were not on his mind tonight.

He headed toward Angel’s apartment, speed his only goal. He doubted he’d be seen tonight, even in the city that never sleeps, a three a.m. rainstorm kept people inside and away from their windows. A voice in the back of his mind whispered he should’ve worn a coat; she wouldn’t appreciate him arriving at this ungodly hour, soaking wet and dripping on her floors. He couldn’t bring himself to care, wet floors were just a tiny part of her penance.

He wasn’t thinking about the weather when he dashed out of the lair earlier. He wasn’t thinking about much at all. He had overheard Leo and Raph talking, clearly thinking they were the only ones still up. It hadn’t been his intent to eavesdrop, but he heard her name. He couldn’t resist when she was involved. Then he heard what she had done. Without another thought he dropped his wrench and rushed out of the lair.

He had to hear it from her. He had to hear her say it. He had to know why.

With another grunt he landed on top of her apartment building. He stopped for the first time since hearing the news and clenched his fists. He didn’t share his brother’s temper issues, but the anger coursing through his veins should’ve scared him. He took a moment to breath, trying to calm the tempest inside him before he confronted her.

He expected to find her window dark, curtains drawn. But as he lowered himself down the fire escape, the curtains were wide open, the window cracked and the lamp beside it lit. Clearly, she’d been expecting someone. Maybe Leo or Raph had seen him leaving and warned her.

He slipped inside quietly. The lamp beside him was the only light on in her tiny apartment. He could hear the water dripping off his skin as it hit the hardwood floor below him. He waited a moment to see if she would come out and greet him, like she always did, no matter what time he showed up or what she had been in the middle of. She didn’t.

Maybe that should’ve been his first sign. He never would’ve done this with a clear mind. He would’ve called out to her, announced his presence. He never would’ve stomped through her home soaking wet. But here he was, marching into the shadows determined to get an explanation. There had to be a damned good reason behind this.

He found Angel in her bedroom, just sitting on the edge of the bed in the dark. She didn’t look up as he paused in the doorway, and somehow that pissed him off more. He almost expected her to be bewildered, shocked at his unannounced visit, his reaction. Or maybe she would’ve put up a fight, defending her actions and meeting his anger head on. Her inaction made him realize that it wasn’t just anger he was feeling, it was helplessness too.

“What did you do?” he asked quietly, breaking the silence. His hands started to shake.

He heard her take a breath and brace herself. “Donnie, please-,”

“What did you do?” he repeated, his voice cracking.

She stood up, reaching a hand out for him. “Please don’t be mad Donnie, I just-,”

He turned away. Any other time he would gladly let her touch him, but not now. He worried his anger would burst out of his skin, taking both of them with it. “No.” He hated how low and firm his voice sounded. He took another step back, trying to rein himself in. “I want to hear you say it. I want to hear it from you.”

“You heard.” He hated how her voice reflected his own, so devoid of emotion.

“You’re damn right I fucking heard!” He whirled back around on her. Her neighbors definitely heard him. In the darkness he couldn’t see her face, but he knew his outburst surprised her. Good.

“Donnie, this isn’t how I meant-,”

“You didn’t even have the decency to tell me. I had to hear it from Leo and Raph,” he spat out. He didn’t add that even they didn’t tell him, he just overheard. He squeezed his fists tighter. “You still won’t even tell me. I thought we were closer than that. I guess I was wrong.” All the nights they spent together flashed before his eyes. They meant something to him, and at the time he thought they meant something to her too.

“Donnie, you’re not being fair.” Her voice came out hard. Maybe he’d get that fight he wanted after all.

He scoffed. “Oh, and you are?”

“This doesn’t have to change anything-,”

“This changes everything!” he countered. He paced away from her. How could she say that?

“This doesn’t have to change us,” she finished in a quiet voice.

Donnie stopped in his tracks. So there was an ‘us’ now? What exactly did that mean? And why did that cut him to his core?

He didn’t hear her come up behind him, and her hand on his arm startled him. “Sorry. Let me get you a towel.” Silence was her answer as she left. Towels seemed unimportant right now.

She returned, turning on the bedroom light as she walked in. Under normal circumstances he would’ve taken the opportunity to observe her bedroom, but he couldn’t take his eyes off her. If he had, he would’ve seen the stuffed turtle he made her laying next to her pillow, and his old sweatshirt.

“You joined the foot clan.”

His words stopped her. She held out the towel and wouldn’t meet his gaze. He didn’t take it.

She sighed and threw the towel on the bed. Her face flickered as her brow scrunched up, trying not to betray her emotions. She crossed her arms and said, “I joined the foot clan.”

His anger took a backseat to the ice cold dread that settled over him. Part of him wished he had taken that towel, that maybe it would’ve warmed him up and help fight off this anxiety. He knew he wouldn’t be able to function if anything happened to her. Angel was the first thing he thought about in the mornings and he couldn’t count the nights he fell asleep looking at her picture. It wasn’t a question of if something would happen to her, it was a matter of when. And he wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing about it.

He heard her take another deep breath as he pulled himself out of his thoughts. She met his gaze head on, her face set and determined. Yet her voice wavered slightly as she said, “What are you going to do about it?”

A million ideas flashed through his mind. He could turn and walk out and never see her again. He could drag her back to the lair to keep her safe and out of harm’s way. He could stand here and argue with her until she saw reason, and not take no for an answer.

But he didn’t do any of those things. Instead, he surged forward, his hands moving of their own accord to hold her. Angel met him halfway, the determination on her face melting away into something else, something he didn’t have time to place. Everything was moving too slow for his body but too fast for his mind to keep up. One hand went to the back of her head, tangling in her hair, and the other to the small of her back. He felt her feather light touches around his waist, and saw her stand on her tip toes. His mind raced, trying to get ahead and memorize everything, especially the soft way her lips parted, just as she closed her eyes.

What was he going to do about it? To start, he was going to hold her close, and kiss her. Everything else could come later.
