Little Raph walks up to you with a blanket.

At first you're confused but he keeps trying to hand it to you so you realize he wants you to have it.

One stares down at the littler version of himself with wide eyes. There is a lump in his throat that he can’t seem to swallow down, no matter how hard he tries. Raph smiles up at him and holds the blanket out. 

Slowly, careful of his claws, One accepts the gift. He rubs it between his fingers, amazed at how soft it is. And a pretty color, too! Draxum hasn’t let them have comfort items like this since their training started. 

Unbidden, the thought makes a soft, pained sound begin to rumble in his chest. It’s almost embarrassing how pathetic he sounds. He’s just glad that Draxum isn’t around to hear it; he’d end up paying for letting his emotions get the better of him for sure. He clears his throat again, trying to collect himself, and he forces himself to smile down at the little Raph. He’s careful to keep his mouth closed, not wanting to bare his fangs and scare him. The little guy just stares back, lips pulled down into a concerned little pout as he tries to figure out the shifting emotions. 

One wraps the blanket tightly around his shoulders, trying to go slow so the spikes on his shell won’t catch the soft material and tear through it. He kneels down to face Raph face to face, and he holds out a hand to him. 

“Thank you,” he says, voice soft and still a little choked up. “I’ll take good care of it.”

Less than a day left!! I urge you to vote for Inverted Confrontation. 💚 If Wiggles (aka Boots!) and I both make it through, our boys can keep playing together in our crossover. ^_^

Hi Neil! Do you think that anyone can write?

I'm not even convinced that I can write. But I keep doing it anyway, and it seems to work.

[daboyau]

Asking some writers/artists I follow:

Is there anything in your fic/comic that you as the author know about, but won't end up in the actual story?

@friendlyneighborhoodterrapin oohhhh I love this question!! It is so fun. You always have the best asks. 💚💚💚

so I am going to take this time to ramble about both The Rise Hunger Games AU and the Leave AU. I tried to avoid any big spoilers but no guarantees!

RHG au: 

Okay so for a while there I was totally delusional and convinced myself I’d write a full length fic focusing on each individual brother. I had names and a very very brief plot for each. This is 100% not happening, so I’m going to share those names. They were actually supposed to reflect the previous brother who had gone before them. (Which is partially why Donnie, who is after Raph, has the fic title ‘Turning a New Shade of Red’)

Turning a new shade of red(donnie)

Shadows of us are still dancing(leo)

Coming like a storm into your town (mikey)

We don’t burn the way you’d expect (raph)

So this isn’t totally canon so much as just a fun little thing I have in mind when writing, but you might occasionally see brief mentions of a failed uprising/attempted rebellion. This is a reference to the Hunger Games canon books, but like an au where they failed really early on and the rebellion never got off the ground. This won’t have any bearing on the story but it’s just a fun little background thing I think about sometimes and call it the secret timeline. Canon THG characters will continue to never be mentioned or important to the story lol. 

Talk of SA here but.

Okay so you remember how Finnick was getting pimped out in the original Hunger Games? That is definitely happening. Nothing will ever be explicit but you’ll notice little things mentioned offhandedly, like how Yoshi refuses to let Raph come to the Capitol after he turns 18, or how Cassandra’s victor ceremony really put an emphasis on her transition to womanhood, so on and so forth…. And Yoshi’s whole…everything before he returned to District 4. It’s another way to show how the Capitol views their victors as commodities and playthings. A lot of interactions Donnie and his fellow tributes/past victors have with people from the Capitol are meant to make readers feel at least vaguely uncomfortable. (Iiiif I’m doing it right.)

Leave AU: 

Okay so in this AU, despite living with Draxum and getting training, they aren’t doing much with mystics. Why? Because right now Draxum is focusing more on teaching them ways to develop and deepen their mystic reserves as opposed to actually using them. (Think meditation and katas and stuff like that.) This is for a couple reasons. One, because he believes they’re too young to be able to safely handle that sort of power. Two, because it’s a power and control thing. Three, because he needs them to store up as much mystics as possible so they can recover when he extracts the mutagen/empyrean from their blood. This might get mentioned eventually in the fic, but basically they go through these monthly/bi-weekly blood draws because the compound they were created with is naturally occurring within them, so Draxum essentially has an unlimited (if slow to harvest) supply of it on hand to experiment with. (Hope that made sense!)

Fun fact, Draxum actually had a lot of potential to be a really good parent in this AU. It’s mentioned sometimes, how he was strict but kind and gentle with them when they were younger. This is because at first, he really did intend to raise them differently after he realized he’d made a miscalculation in mutating babies instead of ready-to-go older warriors. So he was reading them bedtime stories and tucking them in and allowing them to have toys, even though he did want to start training them as warriors once they reached teenage/adulthood. In this AU, though, the counsel of heads decided to take more of an interest in his work than they do in canon and start applying a lot of pressure on him to produce results. So his long term project had to shift gears and become more focused on results instead of childrearing much sooner than he would have wanted. He’s doing it for the good of all yokaikind, though, so even though he may not like it he is able to be cold and distant with his children experiments and view them mainly as weapons. 

Draxum absolutely has a favorite kid. I have many thoughts and reasons for this that I am resisting the urge to ramble about here. (Luckily @boots-with-the-fur-club lets me ramble to her when I need to get it out of my system!) So in order of most to least favorite, it is:

@thankchaosforspellcheck

hey, is this maybe the fic? It is by @boots-with-the-fur-club

hey, can you help me find a fic I've been looking everywhere for? I cannot remember the name for the life of me but it's an rottmnt fic where Leo takes a hit for Raph in the middle of a battle with Hypno and it turns out that the dart he was hit with was drugged. Leo then becomes highly aggressive (mostly verbally but also physically), leads them on a bit of a chase when he portals away, and ends up having to be physically tied down.

It turns out hypno dosed him with something Big Mama uses on her fighters occasionally to make them super aggressive (and that he was showing impressive self-restraint by not going into a mindless rage) and he confesses a lot of personal issues while under its influence.

It's a fantastic fic, and I really enjoyed reading it but I cannot find it anywhere for the life of me! I figured this would be a good blog to ask since you get a lot of rottmnt traffic, so even if you don't know maybe someone else will. I seriously will appreciate any help at all, looking for this fic has been driving me nuts & I just want to know if it's even still on ao3.

Unfortunately I do not know! Tmnt fans, you know what to do /lh
