if you still do them, is it okay you do like one shots with ROTTMNT boys and a little sibling reader?
but here’s the thing, the reader is a little pink gecko with yellow spots, they’re around 10 or 9 years old and can run just as fast as sonic the hedgehog and basically have the energy of a golden retriever, they’re like a tiny dragon and it’s adorable yet SO. FREAKING. EXHAUSTING!!
❝ pink bubbles and banana laffy taffy!! ❞

(honorable mention: @agentturtlecupcake *HARSHLY NUDGES YOU* HEY. HEY LOOK. LOOKLOOKLOOOKLOKKOKLOKOOOKKLLOOOOOOOK. IT'S the, k-KID-🩷💛)
Tumblr media
˙🍋 ̟ !! ─ oh my goodness me, you are the simultaneous love and light, the bane and exhaustion, of everyone's respective lives.
don't get me wrong, your family absolutely adores you!!
especially since you're :(( the baby :(( aww :(((
it just, kinda freaks everyone thafuq OUT when you zip and zoom and flash everywhere
just. a maniacal streak of pink and yellow.
they don't know peace because of you. (affectionate!)
like they will be mindin' their whole business in its entirety and here you come
"*walks into the main living room* heeeeeyy, anybody seen my jupiter jim issue— [*nyooom!*] SWEET MOTHER OF G O D–"
it's not like you ever have ill intentions, tho 🥹 so it's okay.
"they're cute so it's okay!" — all of your siblings at one point, probably
while they do accept your golden retriever tendencies, it be givin' them gray hairs fr 💀✋
especially because you're so f a s t
you're there one moment then next thing they know you're halfway across the entire lair, tittering and chirping happily away.
˙🍋 ̟ !! ─ so, over the course of your life, they've all developed their own designated role when keeping up with you:
raph . . .
being the oldest definitely feels the most responsible for you and acts on it! he himself has developed a sixth sense for when you zoom by and can catch you with (relative) ease every time, and has definitely saved your butt from like. accidentally crashing into a wall or smth sjsjsj
but big bubba can't prevent everything :\ so you have gotten some owies !!
but you can always count on him to be there to help you feel better.
he's your biggest bro 🥹 he always makes you feel better.
but i imagine u're also a maniacal little shit (*cough* thanks leo *COUGH*)
so sometimes you just, str8 up run away from him like ACTIVELY escape his grasp
it deffo takes some effort 😮‍💨 (petition : #saveraphfromhissiblings /lh)
"[NAME]?! Get back here, you little speed monster!!"
*cue toiny baby gecko squealing and The Daily Chase commencement*
oh yeah. it's a daily occurrence.
you stress him out 🤣😭 but it's okay. :))
(after catching you in his hands, holding you up to eye level): "Alright, you little goober. That's enough outta ya today." "But Raaaaph!!"
and then you can't really do anything because raph knows your sweet spot, your little switch, that melts you like putty - a little patch riiiight in the center of your upper back, a well-pressurized scritch is all it takes really, and oh. there we go. down for a nap !
however you simply must have your grand rebellion moments and give him arm gummy bites the entire time but he's the just personification of "😇😌"
ain't no doubting he loves you tho. adores you, really; your bright bubbliness is what makes him smile most days, and even tho your energy is a bit much for him to keep up with, and he'd really like it if you stopped fighting him for afternoon naps sometimes, i don't think he'd change it for the world.
leo . . .
is one who's fairly on par with your hyperactivity, so he's the one we all turn to when your excitement is bubbling over into something a liiiiittle too much :'))
playing tag when you're zooming to and fro is one of you guys' favorites.
but sometimes he doesn't play fair and uses his odachi to teleport >:((
and if you get genuinely upset, he just scoops you up and blows raspberries on your soft lil tummy.
he's the only one who can wear you out so he's an essential part of everyone's lives asksksjd
but bc of this
HE PROBABLY USES YOU AS COLLATERAL TO GET THINGS HE WANTS I'M NOT EVEN PLAYIN
"LEO!!! Ugghhghhh, can you please handle them?!"
"Mmmhmmmmmmm....."
"L E O ಠಗಠ! For the last time, you are NOT choosing for movie night tonight and the kind of pizza!! You've had it all week!!!"
"Ohh, suddenly I have no capability for one very specific baby cotton candy-banana pudding gecko..... Shame. Woeful, horrible, terrible, shame—"
"LEO!!!"
he's a jerk, but he's highkey your idol and he would give the entire world for you in a heartbeat, so :))
donnie . . .
acts like your hyperactivity is an inconvenience...... but in reality, he doesn't mind it.
(only when it compromises his tech. you've only had one to two incidents involving his lab before permanent damage control was done and it's been this way ever since. 😭✋)
sure, sometimes your wild nature can make him cringe on bad days, but what's a sibling if they don't get tired of your antics once every while?
it's healthy development !!
plus. he himself has his moments where his lowkey descent into madness shows its peak, so he can't really talk.
you've all got your quirks, y'know? (/ref)
in truth he accepts it as a part of you, and he loves all of you - i mean c'mon, you're his baby sibling.
and even tho he doesn't openly admit it nearly as much as the rest of your family - he really does think you're adorable.
and in more truth: donnie takes care of you a lot. like- as soon as you started showing signs of your speediness and just-consumed-five-bags-of-candy excitement levels, he completely baby proofed the lair 😭
and you can't tell me he didn't know you'd possess those superhuman levels of speed bro you CAN'T
that man is a scientist and he leaves no stone unturned, especially when it comes to his family.
he has you microchipped too sjjsjdh
[ i just thought of this just now, actually: he and leo are a team when it comes down to your genetics/biological health. donnie researches with his stem-augmented brain and studies your dna down to the very microfiber; leo adapts with his medical affinities to make sure you're the healthiest little gecko mutant kiddo you can be. <3 ]
WE MAY HAVE MADE FUN OF HIM AT THE MOMENT, because how much harm can one baby gecko do Donnie you silly fool honhonhonhon BUT HE'S THE ONLY 👏 ONE 👏 WHO CAME IN CLUTCH.
very much "who's laughing now?"
certainly donnie. my bet's on donnie.
"THEY ALL LAUGHED. THEY CALLED ME A SILLY FOOL. BUT FEAST YOUR EYES, BRETHREN. EATETH THY WORDS!!" "..... Raphie! Bonbon's doin' that crazy scientist shtick again!!" "[NAME]. >:("
on another note, i feel donnie would extend that branch of 'baby-proofing' and relate it to the gift he created for you. [ ref: s1/ep2 — "donnie's gifts" ]
maybe it was something like . . . a malleable sludge, some sort of putty, that melded perfectly over your legs whenever you were starting to get too speedy.
you were initially excited over the cute little metal band anklets gifted to you by your older brother, buuut once it activated .... :((
it made you big sads. :((
being a little speedykins was your most defining trait !! why would donbon try to take that away from you?? :(( donnie :((( donbon why :(((
.... what you don't know, (and me either tbh, we never got that 'explanation' from the inventor himself), is that donnie made it with your specs in mind.
geckos are able to climb vertical surfaces (with some exceptions of course, but for the most part !!) — when activated, those little "putty bands" would've aided in that.
because donnie knows how much you love to run around, especially climbing up the walls, but you can't stick up there forever.
was it made to simultaneously slow your ass down? yes. 🤣😭
(he's only one man what do you want from the poor guy ☠✋ your drive by's were enough to send him into cardiac arrest every time)
...... was it made to adhere to nearly any and every surface texture known to man & mutant kind? for an unprecedented amount of time? with the intentions of you having so much fun with it? also yes.
was it made with intricate care and with, overall, your best interests at heart?
yes.
but after the whole ordeal, he really did mean it when he says you're great just the way you are. :))
in your calmer moments, he likes to have you wrap around his shoulders like a fashion designer scarf and taps at your cute little tail, half as a stim, half as a gesture of affection, while he's in the lab focusing on his latest project
or even just. vibing. y'all are primetime vibey.
he finds your weight comforting. like a tiny weighted pillow.
and he'll never admit that he feels his heart nearly burst with love and pure fondness when you yourself happily curl up into your brother and fall asleep there, cooing softly into his ear.
he built a little comfort bed/pillow extension for you in his battle shell for such occasions <3
but he prefers the sibling cuddles without his shell on.
he trusts you, after all.
(i will never financially recover from this aksjddh SOBBING)
mikey . . .
is exceptionally good at matching all of your moods: your bubbly hyperactivity and bringing you to a calmer, serene state !!
how does he do it. 🧍
he catches you in his arms and strokes/scratches your back to calm you down, and it works like a charm every time !
he never has to use dr. delicate touch on you. despite being the closest in age, surprisingly, you listen to mikey very well !
call it survivor's intuition 🫠 orrrr just the fact that you and mikey are very close and in-tune with one another,
whenever he calls it quits for you - no matter how much you might whine and pout - you genuinely do tone it down.
i know i said this for leo too but i feel like mikey just has that magic touch. yenno?
no pun intended. ha.
but en ee wayz !! yusssss, mikey and [name] are the cutest little goobers.
y'all deffo get roped together being the "babies" of the family,
and despite mikey wanting to outfit that mold — mostly by means of appeasing to raph's overprotective tendencies — he babies you a bit too !!
you like to poke fun. you're observant, clever little thing. you call mikey out on it, going so far as to call him a hypocrite,
and whether you guys have a serious discussion or not is completely up to you !
but for the time being he just pets your head and affectionately tells you to hush, and keeps right on babying you.
he likes being your older brother !! so sue him !!
dynamics change the older you guys get =] so who knows what the future has in store?
you're one of his favorite muses. your color palette never fails to strike inspiration within him 🎨✨
when he catches your pink n' yellow blur in passing, he can come up with an entire idea for murals to tag around, don't play w him
he likes to do body paint on you too !! :))
(completely safe + free of harmful chemicals wbk)
probably makes flowers out of your polka dots (he definitely calls them that) or connects them to make a bigger picture.
he made an entire field of flowers and koi fish pond encompassing your back one time and you absolutely loved it.
you'll always be his little muse 💔
"[Nameeee]!!~ C'mere, polka dot! You wanna see if I can make a constellation this time?" "YAY!!!!" "Wait- waitwaitWAITWAIT SLOW DOWN—" [ *cue wii bowling ball strike sound sequence* ]
˙🍋 ̟ !! ─ ahaaa. overall, you're their cute little ball of sunshine. their little sugar carnival. their little pink bubblegum and banana laffy taffy gecko baby! and — while you being.... you, can get just shy of unbearable sometimes, they wouldn't trade you for this world and all the others.
after all, what's a family if you don't accept every part of them? no matter how exhausting it is. <3 you're a handful, but that's why you've got six pairs. and as the years go on, it only grows.
Tumblr media
@chachachannah + @sweetparty for the dividers 🩷 @cureqt for the cute emoji combo 💛 & pinterest for the pictures! [the collage is by me!!] 🥰
⟆ ˙🍋 ̟ !! ─ further author notes . . .
™ : as always, susceptible to future editing for grammatical/formatting corrections !!
i absolutely loveddd writing this!! and for the intricacy, this is the quickest i've ever pulled a request-bun fresh from the oven!! :o kudos to you, fluffy! <3 i do hope you like this as much as i did aaaa!! now i've got polka dot gecko sibling brainrot. 🥴 it's true: you never know it's a good idea until it's presented to you !!
a couple of fun facts: "sugar carnival" is a term coined by me, in reference to one of my free verse poems a while back! i, also, consider myself a sugar carnival being at most times ˶ᵔᗜ ᵔ˶ & i came up with the title on the spot after hearing + envisioning "pink gecko with yellow spots". ideal color combo, criminally underrated. fluffy your brain deserves a pedestal and i will personally create it for you with my bare hands.✋🩷💛

Sweets for Sweeties 💕 (Multi, Non-Poly)
A/N: Anon gave me plenty of ideas and I loved them all, so how could I not do every single one? Thank you lovely <3 I’ll tag the next few ideas when they’re done! Got a few requests in the drafts!
Pairing(s): Rise!Leo x GN!Reader, Rise!Donnie x GN!Reader, Rise!Mikey x GN!Reader, Rise!Raph x GN!Reader, Rise!April x GN!Reader
Romantic/Platonic
Warning(s): None, pure sweetness
Proof read :)
Anons second request here
——————————
Leonardo
Tumblr media
Surprising Leo with a box of homemade fudge brownies was the best idea you have had for a while.
When he saw you rock up to the lair with the box in your hands, he tried his best to keep his smile from stretching too far across his face. He failed and you easily noticed.
”Happy Valentines Day!”
Even with your large smile and flushed cheeks, there was a small worrying in your stomach that he wouldn’t like them, but you did your best to push them aside as he kissed your cheek and gently took the box from you.
He chuckles softly when he opens the box, marvelling at the goodness inside, “All these just for little ol’ me? You shouldn’t have. Why, we both know you’re sweet enough for me.”
You roll your eyes and nudge him, your cheeks only getting warmer by the minute.
When you tell him that you made them yourself his eyes instantly soften.
His little act drops fairly quickly after that and you instantly pick up on him shifting around on his feet, was he even sweating?
He tells you to wait where you are before quickly making his way to his room, leaving you there confused before he comes running back with his hands behind his shell.
“So, I decided not to make you anything in case it wasn’t, uh, edible, but I got you these…”
You were going to say that his cooking wasn’t even bad before he reveals what he had been hiding.
Your eyes widen at the seriously large bouquet of roses, the flowers a deep red.
”Leo.” You breathe out, taking the bouquet from him with so much care as the scent hits your nose, “They’re—“
“Beautiful?” You tear your eyes away from the flowers to see him staring at you with such a soft smile, his eyes taking in your features, “Yeah, I know.”
You spent the rest of the day cuddled up in his room, sharing the brownies while he runs his hand along your back, the two of you just enjoying the moment.
Donatello
Tumblr media
You weren’t sure at first if Donnie would really want to celebrate a day of romance, he loved you, you knew that, but you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable with such a big display of affection.
It was you though, so you were still going to make him something, just nothing over the top.
In the end, you made him chocolate cake pops!
They were small, delicious and bite sized so that he didn’t have to get his hands dirty if he was working in his lab.
With the sweets in hand, you surprisingly found Donnie outside of his lab, the turtle pacing backwards and forwards, muttering to himself under his breath.
”Donnie?”
Your voice snaps him out of his mini trance, and when he turns around to fully face you, you couldn’t help but notice the red heart shaped box in his hands.
”Y/n! I knew you were there, of course I did.” He clears his throat and straightens his hunched posture to stride up to you with jelly legs, his confident smile coming off more sheepish if anything.
He breathes in deeply, eyes closing as he holds out the box to you, “Happy Valentines Day.”
You weren’t expecting this, not at all. In your shock, it must have looked like you were hesitating to take the box which makes Donnie freak out internally.
”I know, cliché, right? You don’t have to take it if you don’t want—“
“No, wait! D, I love it.” You quickly grasp his wrist gently, a large grin spread across your cheeks, “I really, really love it. Thank you.”
You place the box under your arm, all the while Donnie rubs the nape of his neck, “Of course you would, I knew that…”
You hold back a small laugh and instead hold out your own gift, “Here, Happy Valentine’s Day. I made them myself.”
”You made…?” His voice fades as he stares down at the box, taking it as if it was his first born. He lifts the lid to stare in amazement at the cake pops.
Just knowing that you made them for him had his heart melting. How’d he get so lucky?
”Have I told you how much I love you? Because I love you.” He whispers ever so softly, taking your hand as he leads you to his lab. “I love you too, Tello. I love you too.”
Michelangelo
Tumblr media
Of course you had to make something sweet for your precious boyfriend, you would make him sweets everyday if you could!
You spent little to almost no time in thinking up what to make him, the answer was simple honestly.
Cupcakes! You felt like they suited him really well, and who doesn’t like cupcakes?
You might have made them early in the morning, just so they were made fresh. If you were going to do it, you were going to do it right. Forget about being tired!
Most likely smelling lightly of frosting despite showering before coming down to the lair, you had a small skip in your step as you called out for Mikey.
You barely had time to spot his orange bandana tails before he engulfed you in a tight embrace, his face nuzzling into the corner of your neck, your box of goodies almost crashing to the floor before you managed to hold them out of the way of the hug.
”Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetheart!” He lightly sways you from side to side, his happy laughter filling you with so much glee that you had to hug him back with the same enthusiasm.
”Mikey! Happy Valentine’s Day!”
You manage to part ways after a few minutes of cheek and forehead kisses, bright smiles on your faces with just as bright cheeks.
”I have something for you.” You grin, presenting the container to him which he quickly takes notice of.
Little stars basically fill his eyes, his hand coming up to cover his mouth for a moment, “You made me cupcakes?” He squeaks.
You furiously nod your head, which somehow makes him even more energetic.
”I made you cupcakes too!”
”Aww, you did?” You bounce on your toes, toothy smile never once leaving your face, “You didn’t have to!”
”Of course I did! Now we just have more to go around! Come on, I’ll show you! I tried to make the icing look like our faces!”
How you managed to eat his amazingly decorated cupcakes was a mystery, but you both ate enough to have you both passed out on his bed, bodies tangled up with each other.
Raphael
Tumblr media
Your boyfriend was the sweetest being on earth, and you felt like you needed to show him that. And what better day then Valentine’s Day?
You ended up baking him some cute sugar heart cookies with little ‘I <3 U’s and ‘Cutie’s and other wholesome words written in icing on them.
You made sure to do multiple batches, the more the merrier? You wouldn’t be surprised if his brothers tried to steal a few when the two of you weren’t looking anyway.
With the cookies safely in your grasp, you ventured into the lair with your sights on finding Raph. You didn’t expect to find him in the kitchen, the large turtle muttering and whining to himself as he goes through everything.
“Raph?”
His shout of surprise and the sound of his shell hitting something scared the both of you.
”Y/n, you’re here! Now! Great!” He manages to say between clenched teeth, his eyes never meeting your own.
”Of course I am, silly. I made you something, here! Happy Valentine’s Day.” You hold out the container of colourful cookies, but they never leave your hands.
”You made them? For me?” His hand slowly reaches out for the container but he quickly retreats, holding his hand with his other as if he’d been burned. “I can’t- I don’t deserve them.”
”Pardon?” Your eyebrows furrow, a small frown appearing on your face, “Honey, what do you mean?”
His shoulders slump forward as he sighs, fingers tapping together, “I tried to make you something…a lot of somethings actually, but every time I did, it just ended up a disaster.” He mutters, eyes downcast.
Your heart squeezes in your chest as you place the container down, instead placing a delicate hand on Raph’s cheek. “Oh, honey.”
He slowly lifts his head to meet your love filled gaze, “I don’t care that you don’t have anything to give me. I’m just honoured that you kept trying to make me something however many times you did! It’s sweet, thank you.”
You place a gentle peck on both his lips and forehead, sliding your hand from his face to take him by the hand while also grabbing the container again, “Come on, we can watch a movie while sharing these, sound good?”
He stares at you with half lidded eyes, the most softest face you had ever seen coming from him as he squeezes your hand back, “Sounds perfect.”
April
Tumblr media
You had been fretting over this day for a few months, you might have been over thinking things but you just wanted April to enjoy her Valentine’s Day gift
You didn’t want to go too overboard and freak her out, but you also didn’t just want to buy something from the store, so you decided to make her something yourself!
In the end you bought some of the best looking and fresh strawberries and dipped them in chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate to top it all off. It was sweet, just like her, you thought. You also baked up some chocolate cookies, just to add some crunch.
You met her at the park, her suggestion, the cookies and chocolate strawberries placed in a bag that’ll keep them cold and stop them from melting. So you hoped anyway.
”Y/n, over here!”
Your girlfriends familiar voice catches your attention, your gaze shifting from the lake besides you to — what?
”Oh, wow. April, you did all this?”
Sitting cross legged on a picnic blanket was a grinning April, the woman patting a space besides her.
She had really gone all out. There were little sandwiches made, fruit salad in a container, an actual picnic basket filled with wrapped chocolates, and so much more that you couldn’t even begin to believe.
”Of course I did, gotta impress you somehow.” She chuckles as you finally take a seat next to her, eyes still wide in shock. She hesitated before adding softly, “It’s not too much, is it?”
“What? No! This is amazing, I just wish I brought more.” You laugh airily, showing her the strawberries and cookies you made, placing them besides the sandwiches- which you noticed were also your favourite.
”You kidding? No way! Babe, these look amazing.” She praises, already reaching for one of the strawberries. She takes a bite, humming at the flavour and sweetness, “Did you make these?”
”I sure did.” You beam, grabbing one for yourself and taking a bite.
”Even better.” April mutters, licking her lip clean of the chocolate, “Now let me feed you all romantic like and rub it in everyone else’s faces that we are the most romantic couple this place has ever seen!”

In regards to requests, maybe Fem!reader that reads a lot of x readers in order to feel loved, and the Rottmnt turtles (Separately- mostly Leo and Donnie) glance over without reader realizing and see that the character for their x reader has a lot of their own traits (Pre-relationship)
Sorry if it’s too complicated
Hello, hello! Definitely not too complicated! Thanks for my 1st request, love ^-^
Pre-Relationship Self-Shipping
Turts x Fem! Reader Headcanons
Premise: (Y/n) seeks out love wherever they can find it. Praise from peers, recognition for their classwork.. Fanfiction. Your favorite turtle just happens to see a few of the traits they’ve been called come across the screen over your shoulder..
Part 2
Warnings: awkward, no beta we die like Them™, cliffhangers
Word Count: ~1200
Raph:
Big softie loves on everyone he’s close to
Hugs, cuddles, mandatory movie nights with cuddle puddles
Unfortunately, that makes you crave his touch just that much more
You could practically feel his snoring against you during one of the movie nights
Really, everyone else was out cold
So it couldn’t hurt to check your fics out right now.. Right?
‘Protective, broad arms held you to his chest. He was brash with much of the world, but not you. You were special to him..’
You felt one of Raph’s arms tighten around you
Crap
When had he stopped snoring?
You could feel your cheeks heating up as you flipped your phone down
“Keep going.. I was just gettin’ invested in tha characters.”
How much had he actually read?
You sputtered quietly as he reached around you, pulling your phone out of your hands.
“Big guy’s a real softie for her, huh?”
He was either oblivious, or egging you on
You opted for the oblivious route
“Oh, yeah. He’s one of my favorite characters in the series.. Only really comes out of his shell around people he’s close to.”
He hummed, scrolling some. Scrolling.. Up?
“Is your reading list titled..”
“Nope!”
You reached around, trying to grab your phone back without disturbing anyone else
“‘Raph-adjacent’? Like.. people you think are similar to me?”
He wasn’t moving now, just holding the phone up and squinting at the screen
“Yes.. no! Nope, definitely NOT-”
“X reader soft, x reader fluff, cuddling fics.. That’s a whole lot of physical contact, huh? Almost 100 in the fluff folder..”
You blanched
How were you supposed to *actually* explain any of.. Well, that?
Leo:
I mean..
C’mon
He’s one for casual touches, just like his big bro
His are even MORE casual, though
Slinging an arm over your shoulders to chat
Using you as an armrest
He’s all about casual!
It’s his thing!
But his casual touches tended to make your mind wander at random times
You stood away from the group, leaned idly against the doorframe, glancing up from your phone every once in a while to make sure that nobody was out for blood.. Yet
“Hey, (Y/n)!”
You glanced up, putting your phone to sleep as you met Leo’s eyes.
“Hey! What’s up?”
“Well… I was wondering if I could borrow your phone for a minute. Raph and Mikey are about to have an eating contest, and I *have* to get it on tape!”
You chuckled, glancing past him into the room.
Yep. Massive stack of pizza boxes between the eldest and youngest of the turtles
“Sure!”
He grinned, grabbing the phone out of your hand
“Sweet! I’ll bring it back in just a bit.”
He swiped across, quickly unlocking the screen..
To what you had just been reading
Crap
He looked it over, and you could have sworn you saw a smirk before he exited the app, switching to the camera
He glanced back at you before walking in, holding the phone at eye level
“Alright ladies, gentleman, and everyone else! Welcome to the Lair’s third one-on-one mass eating contest!-”
When all was said and done Leo handed your phone back to you with a wink
It was open to your notes app, a single word typed on the screen
'Suave?’
Donnie:
We all know he doesn’t like touching people
He doesn’t do casual affection like his brothers
So if that’s something that makes you crave validation,
Tough shit
You’ve found that you can get physical contact if you offer to help in his lab
Brushes of fingertips when you hand him tools
One day, you’re doing more sitting then helping
Practically glued to your phone
The proximity to your crush wasn’t helping you
So you sought out a few of your favorite saved fics
‘“Of course I can make time for you, my love.” I took his outstretched hand, and he pulled me through the door, into his comforting laboratory.’
You barely had time to register the presence at your back before Donnie was scoffing
“Their grammar is ATROCIOUS!! If you’re going to read something like that, at least find an author who knows how to format sentences!”
“Excuse you!”
You turned to him, almost nose to snout in your spinning office chair
“She’s a classic, Don!”
“She must be thirteen, (Y/n).” He offered you a pointed look
“Hey now! She’d have to be pretty great at thirteen to get recommended all over the internet, y'know.”
He sighed dramatically, throwing an arm over his head
“Does nobody care for grammar anymore?”
He shook his head when you offered no answer
“And really.. Words like ‘cold’ and ‘multi-faceted’ being used in.. what, a love story? Describing a ring?”
“Describing a person, Donnie.”
“..what, like cold-hearted?”
“No.. like cold and callus, only ‘warming up’ to people you.. He’s close to.”
“...I see.”
“..So you think I’m cold?”
You glanced up, pulling an impassive look across your face
“The character, Don.”
“I heard you slip.”
“Donnie..”
Sheldon rushed into the room, alarm lights following his path down the hallway
“Emergency!”
Donnie looked towards you, Sharpie eyebrows furrowing
“This isn’t over!”
Mikey:
Almost as touchy as Leo
Probably takes after him, with all the casual touches
He’s kinda short, so hugs from behind
Gently bumping into you when you walk past each other
Grabbing you to pull you behind him, leading you through the sewers and streets to show you his artwork
He’s a softie
So it’s no wonder that you let him use your phone for references
I mean, what’s the harm?
You’re hanging out with him in the lair, reclining against the wall as you watch him work his magic
He has your phone in one hand, using the other for his various painting supplies
He pauses, stepping back for what you believe to be another collecting of references
Instead, you hear him mumble a quiet “Wha-?”
You look up
He’s still scrolling
Nothing out of the ordinary
“You okay, Mikey?”
“Uh.. yeah! No problems here whatsoever!”
You deadpan
“You’re lying, man. I can feel it. Spill.”
He tries the sad puppy eyes, to get himself out of potential trouble,
But you’re not his brother
“You should know by now that I’m immune.”
He sighed, turning the screen towards you
“Fine! A notification popped up with my name on it, but I KNOW I haven’t sent you anything yet today! I just wanted to see what it is.. But it’s just a romance thingy about an ‘extroverted artist’, according to the title..”
You spluttered
“Mikey!”
“What?! It had my name on it, I got curious!”
Great
“..Whatever, man. I can get you back to your pictures.”
You could feel the look he gave you as you went through your apps, silencing the notifications for your fics
And knew in your heart, that he wouldn’t let this go
-----
SOOOO I know the request said pre-relationship, so that’s what this one is. But now I have ideas for Part 2! I’ll add a link here once I get it done.
Requests still open!

no thoughts only rise donnie being soft for his s/o 😭😭😭
any soft/affectionate donnie hcs please 🤲
HEHEHEHEHHEHEEEHEHHEHWHWHH
Rise! Donatello x reader
Soft Donnie hcs 🥹
fluff:D gn reader, romantic
not proofread
Tumblr media
My baby :(
- Donnie makes you gifts all the time! It’s one of his ways of saying he loves you since he’s not too experienced with this whole feelings stuff. He also just loves to see you get excited over something that he made.
- will help fix the little things for you! (that maybe he wouldn’t do for others djjdjdkdkd) Your computer isn’t working? Give him 5 minutes and it’s working just fine. Leo’s phone is bugging? He can wait, Donnie is a busy man after all.
- Someone knocks over his staff?! …oh it was you? well, accidents happen I suppose.
- Will absolutely brag about anything he helps you with, it makes him feel good. You could have asked someone else, but you asked him. Not Raph, not Mikey, and why the hell would you ask Leo? (JK I LOVE HIM😭)
- Does NOT let his brothers (mostly Leo) drag you into their tomfoolery if it’s dangerous. (Long story; you got portal-ed to New Jersey one time *COUGH*LEO*COUGH*)
- Fairly confident, he knows you love him and he loves you. Heartfelt and vulnerable moments just aren’t his thing, so when they do happen you know he really means it because he’s doing it just for you.
- you have your very own special seat in the turtle tank <3
- definitely the type to remember all of your favorite things (snacks, drinks, movies, anything)
- you’re basically Shelldon’s other parent and he treats you as such. -> “Do not talk to your mother that way, young man! I mean, uh, Y/N! don’t tal- HOLD ON-“
- will talk to you for hours and hours about new projects he’s started or wants to start and is really, really excited that you care about his interests. (Two reallys)
- would NEVER admit it to anyone but really likes to hold you entirely or just your hand, especially while he talks to you ^lectures
- probably needs a few visits with Dr.Feelings (Mikey thinks you guys are so cute)
- would kick his brothers out and only allows you in his lab if he’s really busy and into working on something. would gladly let you assist him if you pinky promise to be really careful, but doesn’t trust anyone else around his precious tech.
- sitting in his lap??? while he works??? I think so.
- Wants to watch all of his favorite Jupiter Jim movies with you! + Would show you all of his favorite games and comics. Might even actually let you borrow one or two if you swear they will return to him in mint condition.
- 100% denies it if anyone (fucking LEO) were to ever point out your special privileges even though he knows it’s true and you most definitely do. He just wants to avoid the teasing if he can.
- But it’s inevitable (*COUGH*LEO)
- it’s not that he’s embarrassed, he just isn’t used to that kind of relationship and he really appreciates your understanding, even if he doesn’t say it.
- when you cuddle he likes to lay his head on your chest, it’s the most comfortable for him. esp if you give VERY gentle shell scritches
- I REPEAT, GIFT GIVING. TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIS GIFTS, HE MELTS.
- hide all of your purple clothing bro
-“your sweater? the gorgeous, perfect, dazzling purple one? …haven’t seen it.”
- would call you “darling” or “dear/dearest” when he feels like it
- overall, very whipped 👍 very sweet silly boy :(

TEEEEET OKAYOKAY SO I WAS THINKING....YAN DONNIE VS YAN LEO??? LIKE THE TEA BETWEEN THEM.....
Oh, you mean Yan Donnie and Yan Leo VS Y/n?? Now Let's talk about that <3 /hj
As much as I love the disaster twins fighting each other over y/n, I've seen enough of it that I've gotten a strange craving for them teaming up against y/n. They'd obviously bicker and fight each other still, but when it comes down to business, these twins don't play around <3
Imagine you slip up on an especially important rule (or try to escape) and they start looking at you like this while they decide on what punishment(s) to dish out..
Tumblr media
Leo would not hesitate to add fuel to the fire, and it that can only mean that Y/n is absolutely fucked. I will not elaborate any further <3

Fun fact: Turtles touch/tap the face of their partner as a form mating display, so can we get some head canons of the rise boys unconsciously/involuntarily touching their s/o face, like cupping their cheeks with one or both hands habitually whenever they're in arms length or tapping/brushing the back of their hand on s/o cheek to get their attention?
Turtle Taps
author’s note: here you are cute anon!! i was smitten with this idea but it only came to fruition bc of @marwhoa’s encouragement hehe
warnings: fluff, kisses, established relationships, unedited
—————————————————————————
Leonardo
Tumblr media
he would poke
idk but i imagine when the two of you were close friends, borderline dating, he’d ‘annoy’ you by poking your face, especially those chubby cheeks of yours
you would complain, batting his hands away, and as friends that was fine but when the two of you started dating it would hurt his feelings
“I can’t help it!” “You’re just too cute!” He’d repeat those excuses, not truly explaining the full meaning behind his repeated actions. And Leo would’ve never told you!
The two of you were dozed off during a movie marathon in the projector room. Laying in bean bags that were pressed together, Leo had made sure his was close to yours. He woke up first and as he turned to see your sleeping form his hands went out on their own accord.
Cupping your cheeks gently and his thumbs giving soft taps. He felt so happy when you snuggled your face further into his hands. So happy in fact that he couldn’t help it when he started poking those chubby cheeks
Your eyes snapped open, “Leo!” You grumped, wanting nothing more than to fall back asleep. His hands would freeze, his eyes widening, feeling badly about having gotten caught and your rejection as you batted his hands away once again.
He quickly got up, mumbling an excuse about getting something to eat. His immediate reaction had you sitting up, feeling guilty for having hurt his feelings you finally did a google search.
‘Why do turtles tap faces?’ Upon further research after being so utterly shocked at the initial results. You felt like a fool. You got up, blushing furiously as you rushed to the kitchen. Leo was faced away from you but he heard your approach and asked if you wanted something to eat as well. “We got leftover piz-
He stopped short as he felt your hands encase his face. Then hesitantly only out of nerves, you started to lightly tap his green cheeks. Leo was a churring mess, moving too fast so he could turn to see you. You pulled back and he was smiling brightly, face awaiting for you to continue your earlier actions
So you complied, hands going out once more and you tapped his cheeks, the smile Leo gave you practically blinded you. “You could’ve told me what this actually meant!” You complained, poking his cheeks in the same annoying way he would, but he’d just nuzzle his face into your touches
“Yeah I guess I could’ve,” he mused. He had been too embarrassed to just say it. That and he just wasn’t the type to admit the truth that easily. But if he had known your reaction would’ve been this he’d have spilled sooner. You smile and shake your head, stilling your hands and pulling him close to plant a sweet kiss to his snout.
Michelangelo
Tumblr media
Mikey would squish your face in pure excitement. He’s just so happy, he can’t contain himself, he’s squishing your cheeks together.
He could be on the whole other side of the room, or not in the same space at all, but he’ll run through the lair, find you at random and squish your cheeks together squealing about something that excited him.
Definitely happens so much that you’ve accepted it at this point, you’ll see him barreling towards you (yes he’s tackled you to the ground a couple times when you weren’t prepared for him to jump you!) and accept your fate
You try to play it off sometimes like you’re annoyed but truthfully it’s just so cute and endearing, when he’s reallyyyyy happy or when the two of you are alone he’ll squish your cheeks together and peck your lips with a soft kiss. A flurry of them too, you’re not just getting one kiss
Many many swift kisses in rapid session, and let’s say he just won in a video game, the arcade room empty except for you two, he’ll give the room a quick scan before he’s on you
“Y/n!!!! I wonnn !! Hehe did ya see??” He squishes your cheeks together while he speaks and as soon as he’s done he’s kissing you before you can answer, you hadn’t seen him win, you were playing your own game but he didn’t need to know that
Once he parted you spoke though your speech sounded slightly off because he still had his hands cupping your face, squishing, “ ‘hat’s awesome Mikey” he’d blush, coming down from the excitement
It was like his thoughts would come after he took action, taking note of his hands and how his lips felt, he’d pull you closer, slower this time and giving you a breath-taking smooch
Only this time he had forgotten to glance around beforehand so he flinched as he heard the snap of a camera. “Oh don’t mind me lovebirds, just documenting for future-“ Leo stopped midway realizing Mikey was actually quite close all of the sudden
“Give that here!! Leo!!” Mikey yelled chasing after his older brother. Of course it had been Leo, laughter and yelling could be heard throughout the lair and you were sure everyone would be witnessing this spectacle, you chuckled strolling at a leisure pace after your orange clad turtle
Donatello
Tumblr media
Donnie brushes you with his hand
It doesn’t happen often and when it happens it surprises Donnie the most out of the two of you
He’ll be overthinking or had gotten so overworked that Donnie will blink and suddenly you’re in front of him with worried eyes, your mouth moving but he doesn’t hear anything as his hands reach out as if by instinct and he’s brushing the back of his hand against your cheek
He’s blinking slowly and watching your expression soften as you gingerly do the same to him, giving him time to move away if he doesn’t want your touch. But this time he does want it, he’s exhausted honestly but as soon as he feels your fingers brushing against his green cheek he’s sighing
Like he’s expelling all the stress and worries he had minutes earlier, he’s leaning into your touch and it’s like his battery that was depleted is now recharging
He stays there, nuzzling his face into your hand as Donnie continues brushing or just holding your face close to his own. Once he’s charged though he’ll blink and suddenly remember himself, pulling back sharply and blushing a darker green
Coughing into his fist as you pull back, smirking at his embarrassed reaction, “How about we eat some pizza and you go to bed? Hmmm Donatello??” Teasing him no doubt but making sure he understands that it’s probably best to take a break from his projects
“Sure, sure.” Donnie’s standing stiffly, one hand coming up to cover another fit of embarrassed coughs as he swiftly leaves the lab, you follow him smiling to yourself as your own cheeks felt warm.
Raphael
Tumblr media
Raph gives you light taps
He’s always treating you with an extra amount of care. He’d never forgive himself if he was the cause to your pain.
Raph isn’t as shy as he is with his feelings towards tapping you, but he is similar in a way that he doesn’t do it super often
If you’re around and the two of you aren’t alone he’ll probably hold himself back but if you are alone he likes greeting you with light taps to your cheek
He’ll be a blushing mess, eyes cast everywhere but at you and Raph will give you sweet gentle taps, he only makes eye contact when your hands cover his, giggling at his expression
“Still so shy even after all this time?” You quip and Raph gives you a bashful grin, “Only with this!” And he’ll kiss you easily to prove the point. He definitely isn’t shy about that which shocks you more since these cute taps don’t seem that embarrassing

Smile [TMNT Mikey x Reader]
Summary: Mikey never sees his crush smiles, and he tried to fix it.
Notes: Written with Bayverse and ROTTMNT Mikey in mind, but can also read with any iteration of Mikey.
Type: Headcanons
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
You might seems stoic and emotionless, but you're so kindhearted. You're always there when the boys and April needs help. You might not be good with words but your act of service and gift giving makes Mikey drawn to you.
But still, you never smiles infront of them.
Since he has a huge crush on you, Mikey makes it a mission for him to see you smile.
Showing you funny cat videos, didn't work.
Tells you funny jokes, you just blinked with a blank stare.
Plays a comedy movie on movie night to see your reactions, nothing.
Mikey even asked Donnie if you're secretly a robot, but Donnie tell Mikey you're very much a human.
One time Mikey succeed though, was unintentional.
He was cooking for you, confident of his skills, trying to impress you.
He invites you to the kitchen and said he makes something for you.
Turns out what he made is a total disaster in terms of its shape, it was supposed to be smiley face fries but it seems like a scary smiley face.
Tumblr media
Mikey practically screamed "NOOOO" and fell on his knees.
He was sulking until he heard something.
Was that...a giggle from you???
Mikey was dumbfounded, he stands up and see you take one of the failed smiley fries and eats it, saying it's still edible.
"Thanks, mikey" you SMILED sweetly after one bite.
Mikey fainted from happiness.

Hello! I was wondering if you could maybe do a reader comfort for the readers family forgetting their birthday/just a bad birthday in general? Comfort from the boys. Either romantic or platonic, I don't care much. Thank you!

now, on with the show. *bows with a flourish*
Tumblr media
HE'S OBSESSED WITH YOU Awww, look guys!! It's couple of the year! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧
༘⋆✿ No but seriously. How dare you exist? How dare you become the exact embodiment of this boy's wildest dreams? (/lh + /aff)
The world of the yokai is already a diverse plane, so the possibility (read: literal existence) of unicorn yokai being a reality was never not thereeee . . . .
Our Neon Leon just never got that far. Haha.
So trust that when homeboy sees you for the first time, he does a whole double-take.
༘⋆✿ He is, enthralled. You have him entirely wrapped around your pretty li'l majestic finger. Ope- there he is, kissing up your knuckles! (Just shove him away.) (He'll come back. He knows you can't resist his charm.)
Let's be real: the first time he caught a glimpse of you, it was in passing, and he could not stop thinking about you for the rest of . . . well, until you see each other again!
His brothers probably know every little detail about you (physically wise) before you guys even get together lmwoooo.
He would NOT SHUT UP about the "majestic unicorn lady down in Times Square down in the Hidden City (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠`⁠)⁠。⁠*゚⁠+ . . . NO, HE WAS NOT HALLUCINATING DONNIE. He really saw you! >:("
(Donnie definitely wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to tease his twin but I feel he'd be just as interested in the aspect of your existence! What can I say? The man's a scientist. He tries to run genetic tests but Leo doesn't let him and shoo's him away each time he even comes close to you with in-the-name-of-science intent lolz)
༘⋆✿ Thinks you're the most magical thing to ever grace this wretched earth.
And, if magic is a bit of a stereotype for your kind?
If you can't actually- . . . if you don't have magical abilities— that doesn't make you any less in Leo's eyes!! To him, your whole existence itself is magical. ✨ His words, not mine. (/lh)
He's all over you any other way.
Casual settings, ranging from cozy atmospheres such as date nights to the eccentric zany missions, circling back to midnights on the rooftops,
Just sneaking into your everyday life in broad daylight,
with or without his signature hoodie,
but always with his charming smile.
He's your new constant, just like you're his.
However! If you do share in the mystic aspect that comes with being a yokai, or a direct descendant mutant of a mysticism involved bloodline (*stares hard in bro's general direction*) —
you're gonna get dragged into a bunch of crazy thematic shenanigans that
- more often than not -
end up with you guys bustin' your butts in a mad escape from some rogue yokai of sorts.
During the calmer times tho? You'd indulge him.
Set off little magical cotton-candy pink shadow puppets dancing across the walls of his bedroom while he cuddles close to you, churring softly while rubbing his cheek against yours, his eyes sparkling with nothing short of adoration.
Whether you're casting those little puppet shows out of your own volition,
or from the music box Leo had gifted to you on a date he'd nabbed from a cute little shop in the Hidden City,
that's up for you to decide.
It's a sweet bonding time either way. (✿ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾
༘⋆✿ . . . He has his moments of trademark insufferability, tho. You knew it was coming.
"Ooo! Ooh, I know!- can you magic up a pizza?"
"Can you teleport like me? If I got you in a high enough position, could you defeat our enemies with the power of friendship?"
"Can you make fireworks come outta your fingers? It'd make a lotta sense, seeing as you have magic fingers; that massage last night did wonders for my scales, cutie. I'll help brush your feathers later, hm?"
"Oh- OH! I know! Can you-"
"Leonnn."
༘⋆✿ Magic abilities, no magic abilities. Noodles, no noodles . . . One thing about this funky blueberry muffin is he will be absolutely obsessed with you, through and through.
"You're all the magic I need in my life, [Name]."
༘⋆✿ If being one of his favorite existing creatures wasn't enough, let's talk about your fashion!! Now he adores your fashion sense. Your entire aesthetic. He loves unicorns, he loves every sugar-spice-and-everything-nice thing surrounding said unicorns! You're such a vision to him.
But shortly after you both got together, and you started incorporating blue into your everyday style??
Mm.
Reeeeemember when I told you that he's a little (read: extremely) obsessed?
Yeah. Good luck tryna get him off of you like this. (/hj)
Like, girl- as soon as you step into the lair and he catches you wearing blue?
It could be the most inconspicuous detailing of an accessory - and he'll still catch it.
NOTHING EVADES HIS NINJA TRAINED SUPERWEAPON MUTANT VISION.
—And he is ZOOMING OVERRRRR with the biggest grin and just.
Purely cajoling. An absolute cajoler.
A professional flatterer.
Honey is what his words are made of, made to drown you in their syrupy sweetness and trap you like a helpless fly in his venus flytrap of all-encompassing love.
(Except he's being 100% serious.)
"I knew it'd be a matter of time before I rubbed off on you, bonita. Look at you! Spitting image of absolute beauty, if I do say so myself. Blue is definitely your color. You should wear this forever, actually, from now on. Always."
Expanding on this, he lends you his clothes! :'))
If they can't fit you (y'know, wings and all) HE WILL LITERALLY CUT HOLES IN THE BACK SO YOUR WINGS CAN POP THROUGH AKSHDJDHFH —
*SLAMS FISTS ON TABLE* YOU GUYS WILL DO THE ICONIC BOYFRIEND-GIRLFRIEND HOODIE STEALING THING, IT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.
(He's a simp. And a little bit freaky. (/ns) But you didn't hear it from me.)
Something about seeing you in his clothes just makes him feel so fuzzy and warm inside.
It makes him feel wanted. Sorta gives him a sense of security. A reaffirmation that you're his and he's yours.
Soft, warm, pure, fuzzy feelin'. Good for the soul. ☁
Like when you hug him with your wings!
He loves that feeling. (..◜ᴗ◝..)
༘⋆✿ Speaking of those luxurious wings . . .
Each time they start to fluff up and flap when he comes within your general vicinity, he gets SO SMUG.
What can we expect from Mr. [Macho Ego] Charmer himself??
"Looks like someone's happy to see me." As if he's not over the entire universe to see you too, smh.
and then you excitedly affirm his words — rather than getting annoyed, even if playfully — and he just gives you the most enamored expression.
Well — it's a fine mix of smugness (because I mean c'mon. It's Leo.) and fond adoration.
He thinks you're so, so adorable.
Cuteness aggression galore.
Once you're trapped in his embrace there's no escape.
Nobody is safe, and
He is fooling NOBODY.
I mean, his own tail starts wagging whenever he sees you . . .
and sometimes, he subconsciously churrs loud enough for you to hear whenever you guys are close, which is literally all the time, . . .
So he can't really speak. Now can he?
(He does anyway. It's Leo.)
If you're okay with it, he definitely pets your wings.
He likes to run his fingers through the feathers. They're just so fluffy.
' Is this what clouds feel like? '
At first he mostly did it to fluster you, seeing as it seemed to have the same blissful effect of him getting shell/chin scritches, but over time, it just happens naturally.
He seeks it out ─ it becomes a source of comfort to him.
Not only because they're so soft and fluffy, hereby appeasing his sensory needs, but also because it's you.
Asks you if you can fly lmwo.
Begs you to take him for a flight by moonlight but y'all will literally go crashing down AJSHDJDHD
Until, you actually do . . . pick him up, that is.
Until you actually do . . . take him for a moonlight flight.
Until you indulge him in everything because you love him so much and would do anything and everything to put a smile on his face.
He's shell shocked (I AM SO HILARIOUS).
A blushing, stuttering mess.
Bro doesn't know what to do with himself.
A turtle? Nay. A tomato.
Someone tell bro not to dish what he can't take lolllll.
༘⋆✿ Sure, he'll tease you a little bit (It's Leo.) but it's all out of love!! Pardon his major ego, he'll throw it all away for you at the drop of a pin; he genuinely loves and cares for you and how you perceive him.
In turn, this causes him to show out a lot more whenever you're around, subconsciously standin' on bidness 25/8 to 'prove himself' to you,
but you also just make him so giddy.
How can he not want to squish and hug and cuddle you and plant kisses all over your cute little face every time he sees you?
He treats you so, so gently.
You're his princess and he beholds you like absolute royalty.
Yes, he may roughhouse from time to time, but he's capable of handling you like fine china.
It makes you feel just as special as it sounds, aughhh.
It's a nice balance in your relationship. <3
At first, he may be a little shy and not know how to handle how trusting and loving you are.
Well, lemme rephrase : he loves how much you love him, because he loves you a lot too!! Whatever affection you give him, he returns tenfold.
You're just so precious he can't help himself, nor would he try.
It's the trust part.
He's . . . well, he can get kind of overwhelmed and in his head about it sometimes.
Especially when his insecurities come to play at the surface :(
He just cares for you so much, it's scary. How much he cares.
— it's a swirling mess of many different things: "you'll put her in danger", "you'll end up disappointing her", "there's someone better out there for her", "why should she trust you?" but at its core, it's all the same:
does he really deserve you?
Precious, pure, sweet, ethereal you?
Surely not, is what his mean brain tells him.
But you're persistent. And with time, dedication, and consistency, you get him to realize that.
Leo is family-driven.
He's deeply devoted to his loved ones and would give the entire world for those he cares about.
Despite his boasting of how awesome of a character he is, he doesn't really believe it like that all the time :((
But he really is a wonderful person.
and you help him further recognize that!!
༘⋆✿ He wants to become the best version of himself when he's with you. He wants to be worth your trust and affection and attention; the self-expansion that manifests from your guys' relationship is one that will turn him for the decades to come. (bro just needs to realize he was worth it all along 😔✊ he's a little slow but he's trying his best, that's what matters.)
It's wondrous what can come from a foundation built on mutual love and trust and respect.
Trust and be trusted.
Love and be loved.
Leo is one who gives and gives, even when he's running low on it for himself.
Blessedly, breathtakingly, you're there to fill that cup for him every time.
And he couldn't be more grateful.
Cuddles close to you, planting loving kisses all over your soft face, from your eyebrow ridges to your lips and relishing in the sweet giggles that he's rewarded with in return.
"I love you," he murmurs. "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you"
And onnn and onnnn he goes. (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)
Because he does.
He really, really does.
And you believe him too.
━☆・.ೃ࿔:・♡
One thing will forever remain for sure:
Choosing and loving you was the best decision of his entire life.
And having you choose him day by day as well? Ah, well, what can I say?
He's in the sugary pink cotton candy clouds, and it's the beautiful serenade of you. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)

Hi, I really enjoy your work and was wondering if you could write some Rise!Donnie x GN!reader gaming headcannons.
Gaming 💕 Rise!Donatello
Tumblr media
A/N: Thank you so much, this was fun to write and I hope you enjoy :)
Pairing(s): Rise!Donatello x GN!Reader
Warning(s): don't think there's any?
Proof read :)
----------
Donnie is insanely good at gaming, so if you weren't as confident as him, just know that he'll lead the both of you to victory.
You actually ran into him one time when you were playing some game online before you knew he played almost all the time thanks to his insomnia.
You only found out it was him by that ridiculous gamertag of his.
"Bootyyyshaker9000? No way."
The next day when you were down at the lair, you made sure to rub it in his face that you actually beat the famous Bootyyyshaker9000.
"That was you? Well, since you've proudly declared your victory, you're now joining me on my daily mission. Would prefer you on my team then some random noob."
And that's what started everything
You began playing with Donnie more and more until it became a routine, you weren't complaining.
Spending more time with your boyfriend, doing something he enjoys? It's about time.
He got you your own gaming chair and moved around his setup so you'd be more comfortable in his space.
With both of your skills, you became a power couple and brought fear onto those in the virtual world.
Donnie wants to use some hacks?
"Donatello! We are not cheating! You hear me? We're kicking their asses the good old way."
"You're no fun :("
Your sleeping schedule starts to copy his own, which isn't good because this guy gets no sleep at all
"Donnie, please. We can grind some more tomorrow, I'm tired."
"So help me, you are not sleeping until our level is in the triple digits, you hear me? Y/n? Y/n-?" Looks over and sees you passed out in your chair.
Sighs and decides that he could grind later. Gently takes your headset off without waking you up, picks you up with his hands under your knees and back and takes you to his room where he snuggles you up in his blankets and slides into bed with you.
When you're not in the mood to game you bring him plenty of energy drinks and snacks while also keeping him company.
Sometimes you two pull all nighters and his brothers chide Donnie for bringing you into his bad habits.
"It's like there's another Donatello running around! One is enough! One is enough!"
"Leon, one is never enough."
Both of you raging when the game is too difficult or there are just those guys that enjoy spawn killing you
"You kill me one more time, one more time, and I'll track down your address and send you a clown."
"Y/n, I need you to send them Hawaiian pizza too."
"Not everyone hates Hawaiian pizza, D."
"Well they should. Barbarians."
He actually really enjoys gaming with you though
You two somehow just get closer during your gaming sessions, you learn more about each other than you have even while dating
Sometimes he thinks you'd get bored of it after a while and will hesitate to ask you if you wanted to join him
"Hey, Y/n? So, there's a championship happening and, you know, if you have the time, I wanted to know if you wanted to join?"
"There's a championship? Shell yeah, D! Let me get my snacks, I'll be right there!"
You two have so much fun, and your love for each other and gaming has definitely grown.

Okay I just read the Rottmnt self shipping thing and holy shit I need a continuation plz
Only if it’s okay with you though!
Self-Shipping
Turtle Teens x Reader
Notes: A continuation of “Pre-Relationship Self-Shipping”!, Kinda comes back where the 1st left off, so you should probably read it first
I’ve gotten so much positive feedback already; it really means a ton to me ^-^
Warnings-ish: a little bit of angst in Raph's part (reader gets overwhelmed n cries),
Word Count: 1500
-----
Raph:
You’re sweating bullets
Meanwhile Raph is still going through the folder on your phone
You watch his brow crease, squint deepening
“..A lotta these say comfort.. Are you okay?”
At this, you just kinda..
Stop functioning
Give a very unconvincing “I’m fine, Raph” as you try reaching for your phone again
Big Bro Raph isn’t having any of it
Tugs you back into him, arm wrapping around your waist to keep you anchored to his chest
It’s almost like magic, the way you relax into him
He starts petting your head and you MELT
“So.. wanna tell me what all this is about?”
He waves the phone slightly
You freeze momentarily
But figure it isn’t something worth fighting him over
And just start mumbling your insecurities into his plastron
You think you might’ve started crying at one point, but this is Raph;
He just starts rocking you while you ramble, holding you tighter to himself
He wipes your face at one point, leaning down to hold your head just beneath your chin
“(Y/n)? You okay?”
You realize that you’ve stopped talking, and are now just leaning into his touch
“..Yeah, I’m fine..”
He huffs, but seems to accept it.. For the moment
“So, you like me.”
“Wheh?”
Definitely not expected
But it’s hard to get anything past Raph
Emotionally, at least
“I mean.. The folders? All the lovey-dovey crap? The dudes were.. I dunno. Strong, and brave, and.. You’ve used some of those lines on me.”
Oh dear
“...”
“...”
“...”
“... That’s.. Yeah. That’s fair..”
“So.. where do ya wanna go from here?”
You pause, still tucked beneath his chin
“..I dunno.. If you just want to forget about this-”
“No. No way.”
Okay then
He pulls your head out from under his, locking eyes with you
“How about.. We try this whole dating thing?”
You blinked
Was your fantasy seriously coming true?
(Only in writing format ^-^)
“..Okay.. yeah. Yeah, I’d like that.”
He gives you a snaggle-tooth grin before tucking you back against his chest
Leaning down, he presses a kiss against your forehead
“Okay.”
Leo:
You stare at your phone screen, Leo’s single-word message pinging around inside your head
Suave
Of course he’s been described as such
Sometimes jokingly, sometimes seriously
But more important than that, it was the main trait of the character in the fic you had been reading before Leo had borrowed your phone
You figured he had read it
The smirk was enough of a tell
But the response?
You weren’t expecting
Honestly, you’d thought he would forget about it
And a week later, you were proven wrong
“-Ah yes, of course. The most graceful , dashing, suave of all my brothers-”
“Can it, ‘Nardo.”
You could hear the twins arguing even before you actually entered the lair
But Leo’s last comment?
Threw you for a loop
“Suave, huh?”
Trying to play it cool, you leaned against the doorframe
He turned, a mischievous grin crossing his features
“Aww, (Y/n)! I’m hurt, really!”
You chuckled
Normal Leo antics, right?
He leaned over you, grinning back towards Donnie
“I can even prove it! After all, Donatello, what better than a witness?”
Donnie looked between the two of you, sighing
He may not be the best with emotions, but he could tell what was going on
“Don’t do anything stupid.. Nevermind. I’m leaving.”
You could see him leave out of the corner of your eye, just past Leo’s shell.
“Oh?”
He chuckled
“Looks like I showed him.. Wasn’t too hard though, huh?”
“..What do you mean you showed him? He left.”
Leo looked down at you, grin still on his face
“Yeah, but c’mon! It was obvious that I was the only one charming enough, huh? See, there it is! You’re blushing already.”
You reached up subconsciously, hands covering your cheeks
“Gotcha.”
He leaned down, snout pressing right between your eyebrows
You gasped, mind going blank with the proximity
Leo just laughed again, the vibrations tickling your brow
“No wonder, huh.. You’re already head over heels!”
Donnie:
It took a few days after the.. Incident, before you went back to helping Donnie in the lab
It was silent the first hour you sat there sweating bullets, save for his occasional requests for tools
But he was.. Touching you?
Yeah
His whole hand covered yours when he took the tool, lingering touches that, even being so small, made your head spin
He was touching you!
He wasn't just moving away at the first chance!
..why not?
“(Y/n)..? (Y/N)!”
You jumped, almost dropping the part he had asked you to hold
“Sorry, what?”
He sighed softly
“I asked if you were okay. But given the glassy eyes and lack of response, I’m going to go with ‘no’.”
You nodded slowly, still stuck in thought
“Yeah, makes sense.. Sorry.”
He gave you a blank look before sighing again
“Look.. we can have this conversation now or later, whichever makes you more comfortable. But it would probably be best to just get it over with.”
“This conver- really, Donnie?”
He shrugged
“Or you could get whatever else is bothering you off your mind. Your call.”
You shook your head, bringing a hand up to rest against your neck
This couldn’t get any worse, at least..
“Fine. We can have.. ‘This conversation’. You start.”
“Oh..kay then.”
He set his tools down, taking a seat at the chair closest to yours
“We both know that you said ‘you’ instead of ‘he’ when supposedly speaking of a character. Hower, given that you’ve never made such a mistake before, and ‘cold’ being a term I remember Leo using for me.. I’d say that it wasn’t just a slip, and that.. Cheesy romance story you were reading was to compensate for the lack of physical affection you receive from me as opposed to my brothers.”
You blinked.
“Uh..”
“Fret not, my friend, for I will try and change my ways!”
“Don-”
“I will do my best to accommodate both of our needs.”
“Donnie.”
He paused, blinking harshly
“Yeah?”
It was your turn to sigh
“The reason I was reading those things is because of my crush on you, okay? Nothing’s wrong, but I just- I don’t know. Wanted a peek into what it could maybe be like if you actually liked me back..?”
���..oh.. Well, in that case-”
He stood up, offering you a hand. Tentatively, you took it
He pulled you up, face-first into his chest, and gently wrapped his arms around you
“..Cut down on the cheesy fanfiction?”
“She’s not that bad of a writer, Donnie.”
“Her grammatical structure is TERRIBLE!”
Mikey:
Mikey had been.. Touchier, recently
Offering you a hand to get up
More casual nudges with inside jokes
Even letting you help in the kitchen, scooching around one another
“Wait wait waitwaitwait-'' Leo stopped you as you rambled to him. “He let you help him cook?”
“Yeah..?”
The turtle grinned, leaning back casually
“He’s totally into you!”
“No way.” You deadpan
Leo shook his head, smile still plastered to his face
“C’mon! He doesn’t let any of us help him cook! Face the facts, (Y/n). Mikey totally likes you back!”
You heard something fall the next room over
Both you and Leo ran to the door, peeking in
But all you saw was an empty pizza pan, spinning like it had been dropped
Fast Forward
You were back to helping Mikey in the kitchen, mulling over Leo’s words
The youngest turtle was moving around you fairly quickly, arms brushing against yours with almost every trip he made to the fridge, the oven, dishwasher, stove, whatever
It was.. Almost deliberate
He finally broke the near-silence
“So.. Leo said I like you back.. But the ‘back’ part is what I’m confused about
You blanched, offering him a blank stare
“What?”
“I mean.. I could hear you and Leo talking then he said-”
“No, Mikey, I heard you..”
You paused
“..So.. that means you like me.”
He grinned when you asked, nodding
“I mean, yeah! Leo was right about the kitchen thing.. So-”
“He was right about the ‘back’ part, then..”
You mumbled, a small smile crossing your face
“So, you like me.”
“Yes, Mikey.”
“And I like you.”
“As far as I’m aware.’
You chuckled
“So… I think we should date.”
You started at him momentarily before your face broke out in a grin
“Okay!”
“Okay!”
You two just looked at each other for a moment, still grinning
Finally, he reached out, offering you a hand as if he was pulling you up from the floor
When you took it, he pulled you into his chest, arms wrapping tightly around your shoulders
“Wow..” He giggled
“..Yeah.”
-----
So, the endings are There I Guess. Requests still open, love y’all, see ‘ya later. Ciao!

* Fun n' Games *
Tumblr media
ROTTMNT Boys x GN! Leo-esque reader who enjoys drama, making jokes, and being overall awesome
Summary: The Hamato brothers unexpectedly fall for the smug, but genuine, fun-loving reader despite their egocentric habits Headcanons for: Donnie
GN! Reader; Romantic; Fluff || Words: 1.6k
Raph | Leo | Mikey | Bonus!!
Donnie:
Tumblr media
his first thoughts upon meeting y/n is that literally nothing could be worse. he could be boiling alive in one of meatsweat's fancy culinary stews and be less bothered by that than having to endure not one, but TWO LEOS
there goes the fleeting days of being able to complete his work in peace and quiet; o call back yesterday, bid time return
really tho, all his eye rolling and indifference is just an act that he refuses to let up on (he has a REPUTATION to uphold after all!!)
it doesn't take much time for donnie to warm up to y/n though; he's more or less used to his twin's antics and smug behavior and with y/n being almost exactly the same, it's like they've known each other their whole lives
he chalks it up to being comfortable with the familiar, but his brothers can definitely see it for what it is: a crush
he enjoys the competitive tension between y/n and him, it keeps him on his toes and gives him a boost when he feels out of it and needs the motivation
doesn't much care for the whole ego thing, but it doesn't bother him as bad as leo's does; at least y/n has good reason to be as cocky as they are. they're funny, they're charming, they're cool, they're incredibly perceptive
in fact, he's secretly made a list of all the good qualities y/n has and all the things he likes about them… it's like a whole 10 spreadsheets worth of data
to be fair, he does keep a similar list for his brothers and april, so it's not like he's stalking y/n or anything; it's just his way of "bonding" with his loved ones
but y/n's list is a lot longer than anyone else's; there's just so much to like about them. it only makes sense that their list of good traits happens to match up pretty well with his list of "things to look for in a potential mate" (a secret list that he will take to his grave)
whenever they go on missions, he makes sure to fit y/n in all his latest gear he's made them for their protection; they might talk big game, but donnie still has to take precautions!
he may or may not have taken y/n on a few purple dragon-related missions - AKA "let's go put whipped cream in all of their hard drives and cover their hideout in tinfoil wrapping just to fuck with them"; turns out that the police do not find it funny
"let me just say for the record that nothing's illegal unless it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. and you can't prove that y/n and i were there so…"
y/n ain't no snitch, so don can trust them to keep their mouth shut if anyone ever gets suspicious of their misdeeds; this also makes them his go-to for some of the more emotionally heavier things that he can't talk to his brothers about
yeah, donnie's not great with emotions, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel them - he genuinely finds y/n to be a comforting presence, especially considering their amazing emotional perception and how well they can read him
he finds it much easier to work when y/n's hanging around the lab with him; they don't have to interact much, all it takes is a visit from y/n and he's hit with a burst of motivation
gets more work done with y/n around than he usually does and takes advantage of this productivity by making y/n stay with him for literal hours even if they don't actively take part in his work
he's even made them a little corner with all of their favorite things in the lab so they can keep busy while he works; they might be good for motivation and all, but he knows better than to leave y/n alone with one of his inventions considering their… impulsive behavior (rip stun-bo feature, we hardly knew ya)
"w-what, leaving? you can't leave yet! i've only just started on this upgraded micro-transmitter for the tank and i need your help! what do you mean you just sit there for hours doing nothing? that's entirely false, you are helping me out immensely! now sit right there and don't touch anything until i tell you to-"
their easy-going nature really complements his more rigid and particular personality; together, they are an unstoppable and wildly chaotic duo
he might be the funniest turtle of the group, but y/n has him in tears with their lame little jokes and one-liners; he mostly only laughs at the roasts and teases directed at his brothers though
overall, his brothers have an ongoing bet over how long it'll be before donnie finally realizes he has a MAJOR crush on y/n; leo has his bets on "not in my lifetime", april predicts it'll be sometime after casey jr's time, mikey's a little more generous and says "maybe in the next decade or two", and raph is just fed up with it and wants it over with NOW
Tumblr media
The buzzing and whirring of various tools occupied the otherwise silently uneventful lab as Donatello worked away on his latest project, completely absorbed in his work. Tucked away in the corner, sitting snug in the soft embrace of a plush beanbag, Y/N busied themselves with another round of Smash Bros on their purple (totally not Genius Built branded) Switch. Most days in the lab were spent in comfortable silence, as the purple coded brother did his best work when there were minimal distractions. But for Y/N, that meant keeping all audible cries of excitement or groans of defeat to a minimum while gaming. And sure, that was a reasonable request for a while, but had it really already been four hours?! As Y/N glanced down at their phone for the time, they let out a loud, heavy sigh as boredom overwhelmed their usually active mind.
"Don, how much longer do I gotta sit here? I'm practically dying of boredom. I'm terminal now. Terminal!" They slumped themselves back over the cushion, causing it to wheeze under the shifted weight.
"Just a few minor adjustments left and we'll be as good as gold." Donnie hadn't even looked up from the tester bot he was tinkering with, something which Y/N met with a frustrated scowl.
"And by a few, you mean…?"
"I still need to work on recalibrating the external displays to account for the large-"
"UUUGH, no, how long! I've been here so long that my leg's've atro- asta-… ASTROFIELD!"
Donnie could hardly contain the snort that sounded from under his welding mask.
"I think the term you're looking for is 'atrophied' and no, I seriously doubt that the mere act of sitting is enough to deteriorate muscle tissue."
"Whatever. I'm dying here and you wanna lecture me on-"
They were interrupted by the soft thudding of approaching footsteps, the unmistakable sound of Raph entering the lab.
"Heya, D. Y/N. Sorry to barge in on y'all, just wanted to check in and see if y'guys needed anything. It's been, uh… A while and it's gettin' dark so-"
"Raph, will you tell Dorkie here to quit holdin' me hostage and let me go? He's been keeping me prisoner here and I haven't even gotten my one phone call!" Y/N teased. Their moniker was successful in tearing Donnie's attention away from his desk across the room to shoot them a bitter glare.
"Heh, y'know Y/N, you could leave anytime you wanted, right? It's not like he's actually gonna trap you here. Er… Right?" Raphael's playful expression tinged itself with a hint of concern as he, for a moment, considered the possibility of a hostage negotiation with his little brother.
"Nah, I'm actually good here. I just want something more to DO when I'm here. I can't just be here for moral support, y'know." They stuck their tongue out at the softshell as they rolled themselves off the bag and plopped softly onto the tile floor.
The eldest mutant scratched at the back of his neck with a chuckle. Of course Donnie would tell them it's for 'moral support'.
"Uh, Y/N. You do know he only really keeps you in here because he's got a thing for you, right? That whole moral support thing's a load of crock."
It was at that moment that the ambient hum of tools stopped and tense silence flooded in its place. Y/N propped themselves up on elbows and craned their neck towards Donatello who sat faced away from them with tense shoulders bunched up.
Sensing the awkward situation he'd now put them in, Raph let out a small hiss of regret between his teeth and slowly shuffled his feet back towards the door.
"Riiight… So, you guys good? Yeah? Yeah. I'm gonna just-"
And with that, he practically bolted for the door, leaving Y/N and Donnie to stew in the thick air of their own embarrassment.
"D-Donnie…" Y/N could barely squeak, their eyes fixed to the empty doorway as if they were pleading for Raph to come back and take the awkward with him.
Donnie took in a sharp breath and in one swift motion, pushed his work chair back and spun to face his companion with only his iron-will keeping him from running out of the lab himself.
"I-" He started, his face dark red and his lip quivering with anxiety as his mind parsed through the many scenarios in which this sort of confession could've gone.
"I knew it couldn't have been just for my good looks." Y/N's smug grin and flirtatious wink did little to alleviate the mutant's humiliation.
"Huh?"
"For the record…" Scooting up to Donnie's hunched form, Y/N gently took his hands into theirs and kept their gaze locked to the floor as the faintest blush dusted their cheeks, "I have a thing for you too."
Out of every scenario he'd managed to file through, this one was one outcome he didn't anticipate. But one he would happily accept.
