Warning: Mentioning Palestine

The Israeli government has been commiting genocide on the Palestinian people since October 7th, however this is only the peak of the genocide. They've been doing it for years, the world is now being able to witness it.

The IDF has been terrorizing and displacing thousands of Palestinians. They've also killed and wounded thousands. Medical attention is few and far between.

If you live in the US, pay attention to where your tax money is going. If you know your country is an ally of Israel, pay attention to where your tax money is going.

Here is how you can help:

Donate and if you're unable to, educate, use your voice, and petition for a ceasefire.

You can also boycott:

The IDF has also targeted non-Zionist Jews in Jerusalem. Please know that this is NOT the Jewish community's fault, it's the Israeli government's fault. It gives no excuse to be anti-semitic. All bloodshed done and that will happen is on Israel's hands.

[leohamatoblog]

This is a suggestion, but maybe save the Palestine stuff for their own posts? It comes across instead of being helpful, as instead using a very serious conflict and the mass death of thousands for clout or bonus points. Especially since you don't put up any charity links either... and as someone who has anxiety and has been sent recently by some trolls pictures of dead Palestinians, getting a reminder of that when I was browsing a comfort blog, set off my anxiety in a bad way. This is just a suggestion, you are free to run your blog as you wish, this is merely a suggestion. Also you forgot to put an NSFW tag on your 18+ imagines.

Hi anon, that was never my intent. I appreciate you reaching out and letting me know. I was trying to spread awareness but I can see how that comes across. I will definitely modify accordingly and modify past posts. Thank you for reaching out! I sometimes get ahead of myself and I would never, ever use conflict like that for bonus points/clout, so I really do appreciate you reaching out and letting me know what it's coming across as.

I want my page to be a safe space for everyone and, for context, the field I work in has fine tuned me to keep updated on things going on around the world. I see how I didn't spread it the correct way on this platform and for that I will do better. To all readers, please know that I would never use anyone's pain, suffering, religion, sexuality, gender identity, disability, etc. for clout/bonus points. If my posts are coming across that way, just like this anon, please reach out and let me know.

I'm so sorry your anxiety has been triggered with the photos and things you've come across. People who do that are just not right and I'm so sorry that you were triggered by my post. I promise I will put up warnings when I do post about Palestine moving forward. If anyone EVER gets triggered from my posts, PLEASE reach out.

Again, thank you so much for the suggestion, I will be modifying accordingly. Take care of yourself today 🫶

Could you write about the boys getting a hard on around the person they like and then that person ends up seeing it? Have a good day!

good evening, anon! thank you for the request! i hope you're doing well 🫶

MDNI!!!!!!!!! 18+

They are aged up. 18-21.

Leo:

He was the mature one, the level headed one, but he was still a man. Even he has mishaps that aren't really his fault persay, but it's his thoughts that do him oh so dirty. It was an accident. He had liked you for quite some time but he never realized exactly how much he liked you until you caught him off guard.

You had come by the lair to help Mikey with whatever it is he asked you to help with, Leo wasn't really paying attention. He was expecting you to show but he wasn't expecting you to show up in what you were wearing.

The clothes were tighter fitting to your figure and hugged all the right places. Your body shape suddenly became the center of his attention. He was sneaky about it, stealing glances and looking respectfully. Leo didn't think it was too big of a deal, he figured it was natural to check someone out when they wear body flattering clothing.

"Leo? Yoo hoo?" You questioned, snapping your fingers in front of his face.

Leo blinked, snapping out of his daze. "Huh? Oh. Hi Y/N."

"I um, I don't want to be that person but um," you motioned down, "yeah."

Leo's eyes trailed down and they widened. He had popped a hard on. He quickly put his hands down to cover and he felt his mouth go dry. He didn't notice it until you pointed it out. He must've been really out of it not to notice.

"I-I am so sorry!" He quickly apologized, his eyes looking everywhere but yours.

You blushed and rubbed the back of your neck. "So um...guess the feeling's mutual?"

He raised an eyeridge, his eyelids rapidly blinking at you. "I um..What?"

You smiled and winked at him. "If you liked me so much, you could have just said so."

Leo had never been so flustered in his life.

Raph:

He prided himself on his charm, at least he thought he was charming. A natural flirt and a playful guy, he played off a lot of his mishaps as intentional. He liked to impress and if there was anyone he liked to impress more than anyone else, it was you. He had a crush on you and has for awhile, but you didn't know until a training mishap.

Raph told you that you needed to learn self defense and he offered to be your personal coach. He just wanted you safe and he also just wanted an excuse to see you in workout clothes. He had seen plenty of models in workout attire, but it hit him differently seeing it on you.

Your face was red, sweat was lightly coating your chest, and he was internally panicking. You looked so pretty and he didn't know how to react. Something in his brain clicked and he felt himself unable to look away.

"Raph? Everything okay?" You asked, putting your hand on his bicep.

Raph cleared his throat and shook his head. "Yeah! Yeah all good'ere."

You nodded and looked down to adjust your pants, you were shocked. "Um..Raph? I uh, you might want to um.." You pointed.

He looked down and quickly turned away from you. Raph was embarrassed easily in some cases, this was one of them. He felt exposed and like he had just ruined your friendship.

"Sorry! I jus'-Sorry!" He apologized, feeling angry at himself.

You blushed and playfully nudged his shell. "Interesting way of reciprocating feelings."

He slowly turned around, hands covering his crotch. "S'cuse me?"

You rolled your eyes and shook your head. "I like you too, you big idiot."

Raph nearly fell over and died.

Donnie:

Not the best at social interaction but somehow had a way with people. He was calming and kind, and was always up for adventure. A curious guy Donnie is, but he became more curious when you came into his life. Now he can't stop wanting to learn more about you.

A typical day in the lair where you came to visit. You made your rounds with the others and then came to his lab. He looked up to greet you and ended up having to do a double take. It must've been hot outside from how you were dressed.

Not anything overly revealing, but it was revealing enough for Donnie to take notice. He was a man and as awkward as he is, he still has thoughts. How he was internally feeling about your outfit confirmed his hypothesis from when he first met you, he had a crush on you. His eyes couldn't bring themselves to leave you.

"Earth to Donatello?" You questioned, poking his arm.

Donnie jumped and thickly swallowed. "O-Oh! Hey-Hey Y/N!"

You awkwardly looked around before clearing your throat. "So...you like my new outfit..?" You pointed.

Suddenly he realized what happened when he shifted in his seat. He slowly looked down and nearly screamed. He quickly covered himself before turning fully away from you. He had a hard on and he was ashamed.

"L-Look away! I'm sorry!" He apologized, sounding like he was about to cry.

"For a scientist, you're so dumb." You told him, rolling your eyes.

"I don't-I don't understand." He replied, turning his head to look at you.

You shook your head and blushed. "Awkward way of showing it, but the feeling is mutual."

Donnie almost had a panick attack.

Mikey:

He was the hardest out of them all to embarass. He enjoyed making jokes and making a fool of himself to make people laugh. Mikey especially enjoyed doing this for you because he loved your laugh. He never realized how much until recently, and that was by total accident.

He invited you over to watch some movies. He was bored and wanted to see you, so you came by. You two were sat on the floor, watching Bad Grandpa when you started laughing, and then he took notice. Your pants were hugging the right spots and his brain went into a lot of different places.

How you were positioned laughing at something had Mikey frozen. Of course he snuck glances of you before, but this time it felt different. It wasn't until you sat back up and another funny part came along and you threw yourself on to his lap did he realize how bad he really had it for you. You stopped laughing and he didn't move.

"Mike...? Hey, what's up?" You questioned, sitting up.

"Oh! Pfft, nothing." He replied, pulling his knees up.

"Are you...are you hard?" You asked, your face turning bright red.

With the question being so direct, all he could do was put his forehead on his knees. Mikey was embarrassed and felt like he just ruined your friendship. He felt stupid and he felt like he totally messed up his chances with you.

"I-...yeah. I'm sorry, Y/N." He mumbled, not looking at you.

"It's okay, it happens. I..like you too." You replied, nudging his arm.

"You...you do?" Mikey asked, lifting his head and looking at you.

You gave a small smile. "Yeah, I just didn't know this was how you'd tell me you liked me."

Mikey couldn't tell if he was happy or embarrassed.

[leohamatoblog]

I love prompts and headcanons a lot, I love seeing both equally. If it's okay to ask, I'd love to see some "What do they do when your sick" (and if you already did, I'd love some links! Your content always makes me smile)

hello anon! i have not done one yet, thank you for the request! the next one after this will also be a request. i hope you're enjoying your day and remembering to drink water! 🫶

Leo:

If there's one thing about Leo, his bedside manner isn't the greatest but it's also not the worst either. It's not because he won't tend to your needs while you're sick, no problem doing that, but he'll do it in his own way.

He'll bring you medicine and make sure you're staying hydrated and eating. He'll keep an eye on you and make sure you're cool enough or warm enough. Now if you're puking, don't expect him to not get grossed out. He hates vomit but will fight through it and hold your hair/rub your back for you.

The one thing Leo will do for you is clean your entire apartment. He'll make sure the floor is shining, counters are spotless, and every spot in the place is so clean you could eat off it.

The reason why his bedside manner isn't the greatest is because he'll let you rest but after a day or two, he'll expect you to be powering through it. Not that he wants to undermine how sick you are, but he believes you need to suck it up in the *nicest* way possible.

Raph:

Like his older brother, Raph's bedside manner is somewhere in the middle. That being said, it takes a lot to gross him out, so he's more likely out of the two of them to be more soft when it comes to it.

He has no problem bringing you medicine and making you soup, and making sure you're getting enough rest. He'll keep a close eye on you but will also give you space because he doesn't want to get sick. He always finds himself rubbing your back or your tummy though, even if he's told you he's gonna keep his distance...it doesn't last long.

Raph will mostly leave you be unless you're really sick. He'll stay over at your place until you feel better and will keep things how you left them while he's there. He just likes to know you're okay.

The downfall of him taking care of you is that he'll overreact to how sick you are. If you're vomiting, he'll think you're dying and freak out, or he'll bother you until you get checked. He means well, but sometimes he oversteps his bounds.

Donnie:

Out of all the brothers, Donnie's bedside manner is immaculate. Since he's the most patient and levelheaded of all the brothers, just let him care for you instead of them. It's in your best interest.

He knows just the right concoctions for stomachaches and headaches, all the aches. He keeps you hydrated and fed with things that should help you settle and get some rest. He also knows just what to do to break a fever or to get rid of chills. He definitely puts all his knowledge to use when he's taking care of you.

Donnie checks on you frequently, but he keeps quiet. He'll just gently touch your forehead or just peek in to make sure you're still breathing. He lets you rest as much as you need to and doesn't verbally bug you.

Of course, a downfall would be that he gets a little too persistent with trying to give you things to feel better. He doesn't like seeing you sick but he sometimes doesn't know when to stop asking you to try things. He means well, but he can be a bit much.

Mikey:

Mikey's bedside manner falls somewhere inbetween Raph's and Donnie's. He doesn't get grossed out easily so he has no problem taking care of you, and he keeps his head on straight.

Medicine, drinks, you name it and he's running to get it. He'll hold you and cuddle you, rub your back if you get sick/hold your hair back. He'll also run you baths to help break your fever and if you let him, he'll even help you shower if you're that sick. He keeps his chaos to an extreme minimum but tries to keep your spirits up at the same time.

Mikey's way of taking care of someone is spending time with them. He'll bring you all your favorite movies and watch them with you until you fall asleep. Or he'll sit with you while you nap, he just wants you to know he's there for you.

Now, that all being said, he gets too clingy. He sometimes takes up too much of your personal space. Not that he means to but he just does. You need to verbalize you want to be left alone or he won't leave you alone.

Since Leo is your fav I am curious as to how ya feel about Raph?

hi anon! i identify with each of them in a specific personality trait. my own personality is most similar to leo, however when i get mad, i act more like raph. donnie's awkwardness and intelligence is what i identify in him, and mikey's humor and sense of fun is what i identify with him.

raph is an interesting character and i enjoy writing him and watching him! thank you for the ask, enjoy your day! 🫶

You Randomly Sit on His Lap: As Your Boyfriend

note: y'all, college is kicking my ASS. anyone else in college? how are we doin? it's finals month. we also had a total eclipse yesterday in the US. who got to see it? my town was one that you could see the whole thing perfectly.

Leo:

He just looked so calm reading his book. You invited him over for a quiet afternoon as you'd had a hectic week and just wanted some peace with your boyfriend. Leo was sitting in the recliner with a mug sitting next to him on the coffee table. You couldn't help but watch him read.

It was rare to have everything be so quiet and see him be so calm. In these rare moments, he looked especially cozy. So much so that your brain was screaming at you to curl up with him. You tried not to disturb him because you knew he needed space, but you found yourself walking over to him anyway. You just had to hug him.

You lifted his arms and manuvered under them, straddling his lap. Leo didn't say a word until you were settled. Your head was in the crook of his neck and your arms were laid over his shoulders as best they could. You gave a content sigh and closed your eyes. You felt him press a kiss to your forehead and heard a page flip in his book.

"Now this is what I consider a relaxing afternoon."

Raph:

He was in one of his moods today and asked you to come over. Raph always found himself feeling better with you around and talking to him. He just felt less stressed with you. You suggested he try and take a nap to cool off and that you'd just play on your phone until he woke up. Now you found yourself trying not to wake him.

Raph was a heavy sleeper, especially when tired. You knew he needed the rest, it was so obvious when you saw him and he was pale. Now that he was fully asleep sitting against the wall, you had the urge to curl up on his lap. He just looked so warm and so peaceful. You found yourself growing sleepy looking at him.

Your body moved before your mind could tell it to stop and you climbed on top of him. You laid over his plastron and laid your head between his chin and collarbone. You yawned and laid your arm over his bicep. You felt an arm wrap around you and rub your back gently as you closed your eyes.

"If ya wanted ta nap with me, ya coulda just said so."

Donnie:

The sound of keyboard clicking and metal clacking filled the room. You were doing homework/work and invited Donnie over to keep you company. While he was there, he found himself fixing your sink once again. Not what you had planned, but you were grateful he took it upon himself to fix it without you asking.

You heard the cabinet shut and his footsteps wonder over to where you sat on the couch. He looked proud of himself, which told you he fixed the sink. He sat down and peered over your shoulder, reading what you had typed. He always looked adorable when he was in his teacher mode. You were feeling a little mischevious.

You closed your laptop and climbed into his lap, hugging his neck. Donnie made a surprised noise and chuckled. His arms went around you slowly as you got comfortable in his arms. Physical affection isn't his strong suite, but he said you could hug him when you wanted. You were simply taking him up on his past offer.

"You said company, not a distraction, but I'll let this one slide cause you're warm."

Mikey:

There's never a time where his arm isn't around you or he isn't holding your hand. Mikey loved to be touching you in some way, if you were okay with it, of course. It wasn't unheard of to see the two of you curled up together, seeing you two showing some sort of physical affection towards each other, or just being together.

He was playing video games. You came over to hang out and he was playing video games. You felt a little annoyed by the lack of attention as you watched him play. His elbows were on his knees, his eyes concentrated on the screen. His tongue was sticking out in concentration. His lap was free and you were itching for some sort of affection.

You stood up from your spot and walked over to him. Mikey didn't even look at you. You rolled your eyes and lifted one of his arms, climbing under and on to his lap. He moved his head around so he could see the screen but once you settled, he kissed the side of your head. He cheered, wrapping his arms around you, gently squeezing you.

"Just what I needed, my good luck charm, I beat the level!"

Headcanon: How They Comfort You

warnings: none. sfw, gender neutral. mentions of possible panick attack

note: it's sexual assault awareness month. if you are a survivor, it wasn't your fault. your experience is valid and it had nothing to do with something you did or wore. it wasn't your fault. 💙

Leo:

Emotions are not his thing. The only time he really grips on to the gravity of a situation is if it's a mission, or if you're full blown sobbing. Leo, by nature, prefers to find a solution and talk things out. He takes the mature route and offers practical advice to resolve the issue, but then what happens if it's something he can't fix?

You came to him one day after you had just went over the edge. You couldn't stop crying, everything was going wrong, and it was totally out of your control. You found him in his room taking care of his bonsai plant and just fell apart.

Leo didn't know if you were hurt or if something awful had happened, so he went in to big brother/protective boyfriend mode. He was bombarding you with questions until he realized you weren't hurt physically, but emotionally was a different story. He was half tempted to go get Mikey to help with the situation, but you didn't seem like you could be left alone.

He just allowed you to cry and offered comforting strokes against your hair and shoulder. He didn't say anything to you because there wasn't a problem persay, you were just letting out whatever it was you needed to let out. He didn't think you needed a lecture but it seemed you just needed a space to let go.

Once you were done and able to explain what was going on, Leo would listen to you and wipe your tears away. Only when you were calmer would he say anything to you.

"I know I can't really give you any advice. Can I at least make you some tea or hot chocolate? Or would you like to nap? I'll sit with you."

Raph:

We all know he can be abrasive and have no regard for what's going on in other's lives at times. He still, however, can tell by body language or aura something isn't right. You don't have to outright say you're overwhelmed or say that you just can't figure out what's wrong. He can tell just by how you're acting that you're going through a bit of a rough patch.

You aren't touching the dinner Mikey made and you're not talking. You just said you were tired and not hungry, but Raph knew something was up. He hated being left out of the loop, he had to know. Instead of asking in front of everyone, he decided to pull you aside and ask you privately.

At first, you were adament that you were just tired, but Raph was persistent. You cracked and just broke down. He's emotionally aware enough to be dangerous so he became a lot softer. He pulled you to his plastron and rubbed your back. Big brother/soft boyfriend mode would take over and he would just let you fall apart. He prefers listening over fixing in these moments.

Raph doesn't like seeing people cry and depending on the circumstances, he may even cry with you. He doesn't like seeing anyone he cares about in pain, especially emotional pain. He will make it his personal business to get even with the person who hurt you, or do his best to try and make you feel better if you're just having a bad day.

When you calmed down enough, he'd make a joke about how red your face was to try and make you smile. If that didn't work, he would just offer to listen to whatever was on your mind until you felt better.

"Listen, I know it's bad now but I promise ya it'll be okay. How's about we watch a movie? I can make ya a snack if ya want."

Donnie:

Like Leo, Donnie isn't good at emotions. The only difference between the two is that the purple bandana sporting turtle always knows. He always knows when something isn't right, a lot of the time even before Raph. By nature, he's very calm and collected. However, when your world seems to be crumbling, his intelligence seems to fly out the window.

It was something he couldn't fix and you knew he couldn't fix. You just needed someone to listen to you and let you get it out. It was eating you alive and you couldn't take it anymore. You had to tell someone.

You wondered into his lab and told him you needed to talk to him. He continued working and told you to say what was on your mind. He paid attention, he could multitask like a king, but it wasn't until your tone shifted that he turned all his focus on you. Your eyes were becoming glossier and your face was turning red. You were about to start crying and he internally panicked.

He wasn't the biggest on physical affection, but even he needs a hug at times. Depending on the status of your relationship, he would offer you a hug. Donnie's arms stretched out and he motioned for you to come to him. You laid your head on his plastron and cried. He rubbed your back and just let you cry. You seemed like you needed it.

Donnie offered you a tissue and sat back down in his chair. He pulled his extra one over to you and offered you to sit. If he couldn't fix it, at least he could offer a distraction.

"I'm sorry that you're upset. If you'd like, you can help me with the retro mutegen? Or maybe the shell razor? You pick."

Mikey:

He's emotionally intelligent and emotionally aware. He's very observant and can tell when something's up, but will believe you if you tell him you're tired. It wouldn't be until that you yourself stop believing you're just tired that Mikey realizes something's bothering you. He doesn't fix it, but instead he tries to comfort you as best he can.

You had been feeling off all day and didn't know why, you woke up that way. You hated the world and you felt like it hated you too. You told Mikey you were tired but you got tired of that lie really fast.

You and him were playing video games when it hit you all of a sudden. You felt your chest tighten and then the next thing you knew, you were crying. He quickly disregarded the game and hugged you, trying to get you to tell him what was wrong. Naturally, he's a very affectionate guy. He was petting your hair and rubbing your back before you could even start sobbing.

Once Mikey realized he didn't have to go into protective boyfriend/friend mode, he went quiet. He knew that right now, you just needed a minute. You were obviously overwhelmed and he didn't want to add to that by hounding you with questions. He didn't like seeing you this way but obviously you needed to allow yourself this moment, and he would wait until you were ready.

He wiped your tears and kissed your forehead. He kept his arm around you and rubbed your back, letting you know that you were safe with him. He just wanted to show that he was there for you.

"Don't worry, Y/N, I got you. Wanna watch a movie? Or maybe I can teach you some skateboard tricks? Your choice.

Headcanon: Type of Uncle They Are

note: Happy Autism Awareness Month! To anyone who is on the spectrum, I see you. You are valued, you are smart, and you are worthy. Your Autism does not define you. A healthy reminder to those who are not on the spectrum, they call it a spectrum for a reason because it presents differently in everyone.

This is a safe space. 💙

Leo: Third Parent

It's in Leo's nature to be a more authoritative and more strict. Doesn't mean he isn't fun, he just prefers order over chaos. This also applies to any nieces or nephews he may end up with. That being said, even if he's more authoritative and strict, the children trust him wholeheartedly.

If it's his turn to babysit, yes there's a bed time, but there's always a story. He will read or tell any story the kids want to hear and he even does different voices for each character. He also will sit with them until they fall asleep. One has a nightmare? Yes, you can sleep in his bed (just this once....for the 10th time).

Homework is always the first thing done at his place if he's babysitting. The kids don't feel like it? He'll find something to do at the table with them so they feel more motivated to get it done. He's also very patient, so if it's frustrating to the kids, he'll even learn it with them to make them feel better.

He's also the one the kids know they can go to for guidance. He remains unbiased so if one of them needs an honest opinion, he's willing to give it. While emotions aren't necessarily his thing, nothing cheers the kids up more than a hug from their uncle Leo.

Even if the kids trust him wholeheartedly, they don't always like him. They don't like that he gives stricter punishments or is a harder teacher than their actual parents. Don't be fooled by the pressure he gives, the first sight of the children crying and he's off putting on cartoons.

Raph: The Protector

You know those mafia uncles, the ones with the thick accents? That's him. Raph is, by default, the family bodyguard. When he has nieces and nephews, he keeps a very close eye on them. Where they're at, who they're with, and when they're supposed to return. It's not to be controlling, the kids know he means it kindly.

That being said, he's also the most interesting. He's been through a lot, he's got a lot of stories, and he loves to boast. The kids find him cool and are always eager to hear about his life. He also hides hidden messages in his stories about being a good person and watching out for others (mostly because 5 years olds shouldn't be hearing about murder), he has good intentions.

He's also very good at comforting the kids. Usually it's Mikey's job to be the family sounding board, but Raph is a very good listener. The kids know they can vent to him about anything with no judgement. He'll even make them a late night snack if they can't sleep because they're upset.

Babysitting usually consists of him putting the TV on and letting the kids do whatever, within reason, of course. He lets the kids pick what they want to do and is known to join them. He's usually the referee if the kids are wrestling or the supervisor when playing board games. He's a master at uno.

His protectiveness can be overbearing but he backs off if he knows he's in the wrong. The kids know he just wants them safe and they love him for it, but they're comfortable enough to speak their mind. The first sign of danger, Raph's usually one of the first to jump in.

Donnie: Teacher Friend

While he loves to educate and spread his knowledge, Donnie also enjoys bonding. He doesn't impose his knowledge on his nieces and nephews, but he teaches them enough for them to be dangerous. This is also the time he takes to create connections with them without them really knowing. He's very sneaky about what he does.

He's always the one to help with homework but he won't do it for them. Instead, he pays close attention to learning styles and teach accordingly. More patience than Leo ever thought of having when the kids get frustrated. He's always calm and willing to explain a million ways until the kids pick up what he's putting down.

His babysitting is the best (i don't make the rules) because he can multitask like it's no one's business. He can be doing a project, help with homework, and discipline all at the same time. He's also always doing something and if the kids want to help, great! If not, he'll find something he knows they'll like and they'll do it together.

He also just always knows when something isn't right. The kids don't even have to tell him if they're sad or angry, he just knows. He doesn't push but instead, he offers them to come sit while he does work or invites them to join him. He knows they'll open up to him if they want.

Sometimes his knowledge clouds his brain so the kids have to remind him they aren't as smart as him at times. They also have to remind him that they're children and no kid needs to know how to blow up mount everest in one big boom for a 5th grade science fair project.

Mikey: Comforting Therapist

Where the others lack, Mikey brings to the table. He's always been the most emotionally intelligent and level headed of all his brothers in that department. Even with his ADHD, his observance is through the roof when he has nieces and nephews. He takes interest in every aspect he can of their lives. He just likes to be involved and listen to whatever it is they're up to these days.

His babysitting is chaotic but also very practical. He's strict and fun all at the same time. The kids are definitely a wake up call on his maturity. He makes up games for them and does activities with them. He also caters to each of their likes and they all take turns picking the activity or game. It teaches them patience and sharing, as well as having fun, it's a win win!

The kids know education is not his strongest suite by default, however he's always the first to know their grades. He never gets mad if it's not good, instead he assures them it's just a grade and not the end of the world. If the grade is good, then he gets very loud and overly excited over it. He just wants the kids to feel good about themselves.

Speaking of feeling good about themselves, the kids trust only him to help with big events where they need to dress up. He has the best fashion taste and makes sure the clothes are just right and flatter what should be flattered. He's also the kids' number one hype man and if they go clothes shopping, he very much would like a fashion show.

Mikey's ADHD can be overbearing to the kids at times, but they feel comfortable enough to tell him he's pushing boundaries. He always apologizes and listens when this happens. The kids know he means well, but sometimes it does get a bit too overstimulating, so boundaries are pre-established.

Prompt: You want a hug

warnings: none. sfw. gender neutral reader

Leo:

You knew Leo wasn't a very affectionate guy, the most you got were hair ruffles and shoulder pats. He is known to kiss the side of your head or forehead as a greeting.

You weren't in the mood for that today.

You woke up in a sad mood. Nothing happened, nothing made you sad, you were just sad. It was a Saturday so you could just lounge around and not have to worry about anything. You figured you just needed a day to yourself.

"There you are!"

"Uh yeah. I live here."

Leo was stood in your bedroom doorway, hands on his hips. He looked relieved and also annoyed.

"I tried calling you and texting you. No answer, I got worried." He replied, walking in to your bedroom. "What's wrong?"

"Jus'in a mood today." You mumbled, ruffling your hair.

Leo hummed and circled around your bed so he was on the side you were laying on. "Can I help in any way?"

"Cuddle me?" You suggested, holding your arms out.

Leo slowly blinked at you. He looked surprised and caught off guard, which for him was hard to accomplish. He was really wanting to say no but you just looked so...soft. He subconsciously found himself taking his gear off and climbing on to your bed, pulling you in to his arms. He was scared to hurt you, so his arms were somewhat limp around you.

After a few minutes of silence, Leo found himself feeling a little stiff from the unknown feeling he was getting. "I never, you know, cuddled before so if I-" he was cut off by a soft snore. He looked down at you as you laid on his bicep, softly sleeping. He rubbed your back gently.

He smiled gently. "-Nevermind, get some sleep."

Raph:

Out of the entire year and a half you'd been friends with the turtle in red, you had a realization. It started with watching a tik tok video of someone randomly hugging their best friend that it hit you.

You've never actually hugged Raph.

Yeah, he's carried you and kissed you on the cheek or held your hand. But an actual hug? That's never happened and now you were wondering what a hug from Raph would feel like.

"Spill. Why are ya quiet?"

"Oh I'm just thinking."

Raph tossed his soccer ball somewhere in the lair and raised an eye ridge at you. You looked suspicious, he didn't like it.

"Thinkin bout what?" He asked. "Ya know Mikey says odd shit so I can handle whatever ya say."

You chuckled and gave a small shrug. "I just realized you and I have never...hugged."

"Interesting." Was all Raph could muster out. He looked awkward. "So uh, did ya need one or..?"

You smiled. "I don't need one but I would like one, if that's okay."

Raph awkwardly looked around. Affection like this wasn't something he was opposed to, but he wasn't used to. Sure he'd hugged his brothers plenty of times, but it's different with a human. You initiated, putting your arms as best you could around his middle. He slowly put his arms around you, applying very little pressure like you were made of glass.

Raph found himself actually liking the contact. You were warm, your arms were soft. He just didn't know what to do now. "So um, do I squeeze you? Or..touch your hair? Am I-" you pinched him and looked up at him, cutting him off. You looked so content. Your small smile was a dead giveaway that you were happy.

He sighed and gave a smirk. "Fine, I'll stop talkin."

Donnie:

He was an awkward fella, no doubt, but you seemed to mesh well together. He was also kind and gentle, so the fact that he became your best friend was no shock.

But you were feeling a bit touch starved.

You didn't always need contact but today it was cold out and you were in a particularly cuddly mood. Donnie's lab had a bit of a draft and you found yourself shivering more than you'd like.

"You can close the vent, if you want."

"Gee thanks, Donnie."

He gave a breathy chuckle before looking over at you. Your nose was red and your cheeks were flushed. You must be pretty cold.

"Can I get you a blanket?" He offered. "I'm sure I can find a clean one around here somewhere."

You nodded. "That would be nice, but a cuddle would be better."

"A-A what?" Donnie replied, blinking rapidly. "You want a cuddle...? Now...?"

You stood up and hugged yourself. "If that's okay with you."

Donnie had always found humans to be fascinating, but now he just finds you cute. Affection isn't really his thing but he felt comfortable enough with you to allow you to sit on his lap to keep warm. He had to admit, he was feeling a bit chilly himself. He allowed you to get comfortable on his lap before he slowly put his arms around you.

He was stiff but your warmth felt so nice on his plastron. Your hair also smelled nice, which was an added bonus. "A-Are you comfortable? I'm sorry if my plastron is too hard, I can try and find a pillow to-" your finger pressed against his lips. He peered down, you were all curled up with your eyes closed. Peaceful.

He cleared his throat. "I'll just..get back to work then."

Mikey:

He was the most affectionate being you'd ever met. Hugs, high fives, head and cheek kisses, if he could have the chance to give them, he took it.

But he always initiated it.

Today you just wanted to be lazy and do absolutely nothing. You had cleaned your apartment and now just wanted to lounge around and watch some movies. You invited Mikey over to join you.

"DJ Mikey in the house!"

"Hey Mike!"

He climbed in through the window, taking his gear off before walking over to you where you laid on the couch, kissing your head.

"What movies we got planned?" He asked, circling around and sitting on the other end of the couch. "I'm thinkin action."

"Great choice! I'm down." You replied, sitting up.

"Sweet!" He said, grabbing the remote. "Ooo! How bout Braveheart?"

You said nothing but climbed over and curled against him. "Looks good."

Mikey looked down at you. You were curled right into his side, your legs over his lap. Your cheek was pressed against his bicep, your arms around his arm. You looked so cute to him. He loved how small you looked compared to him. He loved that you felt comfortable enough to cuddle with him.

He cooed and lifted his arm up, wrapping it around you and pulling you on to his lap. "Angel if ya wanted to cuddle, all ya had to do was climb on my lap! No need to be-" you shushed him as the movie began to play, your head in the crook of his neck. You didn't even look up.

He laughed and kissed your head. "I guess I'm just that good."

Hi! I read your his feelings: Leo edition, loved it. Would you write one for Raph? Have a good day 👍🏽

hello anon! thank you for the request! i hope you're having a wonderful evening, drink some water! 🫶

His Feelings: Raph Edition

warnings: none, some language. gender neutral.

Raph was a tough nut to crack but you couldn't help but to like him. He was stubborn, he was hard headed, he was intense, but he was also sweet. You and him quickly developed a friendship.

He, at first, saw you as nothing more than a friend. He thought you were the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, not that he'd say it out loud. You were human, he was a mutant turtle, it could never work. Besides, just by associating with him put you in danger.

You made your way to the lair after work/school to decompress. Being with the guys always made you feel better because they never judged you. They just let you be yourself. You always had a blast when you got together. Though today, something seemed off.

You walked into the lair and the air was thick, dense almost. The atmosphere seemed more tense than usual. It was dead quiet. No noises from Donnie's lab, no sounds from Mikey's video games, Raph's manhole covers weren't clacking, and Leo wasn't heard swinging around his swords.

You looked around and didn't find any of the turtles in the lair, but Splinter was in deep meditation. You didn't want to bother him, so you just went into the lounge area and made yourself comfortable on the couch. You hated how quiet the lair was, it made you feel uneasy.

"Dad! Sensei!" Leo's voice boomed through the tunnels.

You jumped hearing his voice. You didn't even realize they were coming. You stood up and watched as the guys all came running in, a hurt Mikey on Raph's back.

"What happened?" Splinter asked, snapping out of his meditation and rushing over.

"I-I don't know! One minute he was fine and then the next..." Raph said, his chest heaving with anxiety as he laid Mikey on the table in the lab.

Leo looked scared. "It's not your fault, Raph."

"Sure it is!" Raph snapped. "Look at'em Leo!"

You made your way inside the lab and appeared next to Raph. They all had cuts and bruises, Mikey's was the worst. Donnie had already gone to work making sure his little brother didn't have any life threatening injuries.

Leo patted Raph's arm. "I know." You could tell he was trying to remain calm. "Let Donnie work his magic."

"You guys go clean up, this is gonna take awhile." Donnie told his two older brothers.

Leo looked at Splinter who nodded. Leo left the lab and Raph practically stormed off. You looked at Mikey and gently patted his arm before walking off to find Raph.

Raph and Mikey had a deep bond. The two were practically best friends. They matched each other's energy pretty well and balanced each other out. You were glad that they had such a close brotherhood. You just wished that it wasn't close right at the moment.

You wondered into Raph's training area, finding him sat on his bench, carelessly disinfecting one of his many cuts. You rolled your eyes and walked over to him, holding your hand out. He didn't even protest, he just handed you the rag.

Raph couldn't help but to feel comfort in your touch. You saw him, you understood him, and you knew not to say anything, he appreciated that. Your hands were delicate as they cleaned his wound and they were soft against his leathery skin. He found himself watching you work.

Your eyes were one of his favorite things. They were the perfect shade of (eye color), he could look into them for hours and never get tired. He loved how much emotion they held and how they always lit up whenever you saw something you liked. They were soft.

He studied the outline of your face, watching your mouth twitch everytime you tried to stitch his cut. Your eyebrows furrowed in concentration and your jaw clenched every so often. Then your hair, how it fell slightly over your eyes/framed your face, it was a sight he could handle being the last thing he ever saw.

"He'll be okay." You muttered, grabbing some gauze. "You don't have to talk about it."

Raph sighed. "We were tryna break in to Stockman's lab for an antidote for the new mutant runnin' around." You just started to patch him up as he talked. "Got roughed a bit, ya know, the usual." He winced at the slight pressure you put on his collarbone area. "Then outta nowhere, them asshats bebop and rocksteady jus'...boom...Mikey was down."

You looked up from the wound. "And you kicked their asses?"

"Damn right. How do ya think I got all these?" Raph replied, motioning to his cuts.

"Well I happen to think they add to your charm." You stated, grinning at him.

Damnit, what are you doin to me? Raph thought.

"Got the world's best nurse to make sure'a that." He teased, nudging you.

You smiled at him and pulled away. Your smile made him weak in the knees. It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen in his life. It was a medicine almost, a cure. He'd see that smile and whatever he was upset about would just melt away.

He knew he had feelings for you that weren't like what he had for April. He loved April like a sister, they were close. You, however, he felt for on a different level. You had slowly over the course of your friendship become his second reason to come back from a mission. His brothers and father were his first, then you, of course.

Raph bit his lip in thought as you carefully put everything back in the first aid kit. He was internally kicking himself for not just making a move, but he knew it couldn't work.

"Can I ask ya somethin?" Raph asked, placing his hands on his thighs.

"Anything." You replied.

Shit, shoulda just walked away. Raph internally scolded himself.

"I uh-" he cleared his throat, "-have you ever..loved someone?"

Way to go, Raph. He smacked himself in his mind.

"I have, actually." You stated, turning to face him. "But it's one sided." Your face slightly fell.

"Oh...They're an idiot then cause any one would be lucky to have ya." He replied, his mouth going dry.

Your eyebrow raised and Raph slowly swallowed. He looked nervous, you were suspicious.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah! Yeah I mean your-your smart and ya kick ass, and you even make them cute little dinosaur pancakes for us at breakfast."

Smooth, Raphael, smooth. He thought.

You slowly blinked. Raph being nervous, he looked like he was about to fall over, his hands were twitching and his eyes looking everywhere but you, it was odd.

"Spill. What's wrong?" You demanded. "The truth."

Raph gave a deep sigh and looked down at his lap. He looked almost ashamed. "I uh, I ain't real sure on how to tell ya this but uh, I-" he bit his lip, "-well.."

"Raph," you gently said, putting your hand on his shoulder, "it's okay."

He looked into your eyes for a moment. He couldn't help himself. Something just took over and he wrapped his arms around you and kissed you. You were surprised but melted into his hold after registering what was going on. Raph was kissing you, you.

Raph pulled away and cleared his throat. "So yeah.."

You laughed and shook your head. "All that beating around the bush and you could've done that this entire time!"

If his face could go red, it would be red. "Hey! I'm a gentleman!"

You smiled and shook your head, playing with his bandana straps. "I like you too, you big oaf."

"Good, cause now I can kiss ya whenever." He mumbled, grinning back at you.

"Please do." You replied.

Raph captured your lips with his again, only to be interrupted by whistling. Raph pulled away and you looked behind him, locking eyes with Leo.

"First of all, finally. Second of all, Mikey's awake." Leo said, a light grin on his face.

"How long ya been there?" Raph asked, letting you go and standing up.

"Long enough." Leo replied, winking at you. "Great show, by the way."

"Shut up, Leo." Raph grumbled, walking over to him.

"C'mon now, Raph. Ya did great." His big brother teased, nudging his shoulder.

"I'll break your arm if you breathe a word about any of this to the others."

• he discovered science isn't what helps him be a parent, it's getting to know the child so he's a pretty hands on dad

• the toys are all home made and cater to brain stimulation and growth

• he definitely takes the child everywhere with him cause that's now his little friend

• sleep schedule is all messed up so he's usually the one to take the night shift

• loves the walking and talking stages cause now he can start introducing the kid to his non-deadly projects

• thus begins the 2-8 stage. poor donnie

• he has way more patience than leo could ever have cause he's a middle child, so he becomes a more gentle parent

• not a yeller and not a physical punishment kind of guy. the naughty corner is definitely a thing

• this is the stage where he reads up on how to deal with tantrums and redirecting, so he becomes the de-escalation king

• it worked until puberity.

• 13-17 were not fun for him and he really felt splinters pain from when he was this age

• the kids are respectful and really nice kids, until they are fighting with each other or being told no

• grounding became a thing and donnie isn't the best at sticking to his punishment (lets face it, he's a softie), however he still reads those books and knows he can't back down

• he often invites his kids to his lab and to help him with his projects, it's his way of spending time with them

• the kids think donnie wont find out things but donnie always knows

• sometimes his head gets stuck in his computer or in a project, but he always makes time for his kids

• he's a binge watcher so he watches tv shows and movie series with the children all the time

• kids are super smart so an A/B average is no problem and he's their personal tutor when they need it

• never forces his interests on the kids but he teaches them things he thinks they need to know

• boy dad coded but if he had a little girl he would also be a great girl dad

• his tinkering sessions with the kids is his time to really figure out what's going on in their heads, thus creating a judgement free zone

• not an overly affectionate dad but he's very supportive of all the kids do

• he definitely says it's parenting

• he's the fun parent by far

• he will make sure your kid excels in whatever sport or activity they decide to take up, but also teaches them not to be little jerks about it

• no problem playing dress up or getting his make up done

• no problem rough housing or wwe wrestling after you said no

• he may be the man of the house, but he usually says that you're the boss so the kids have learned to ask you first over him if they want something

• he is always attending every event the kids have and watches through security tapes or he sneaks in

• he teaches his kids how to dominate the world

• he has the best bedside manner when his kids are sick or upset about something

• he makes science nicknames for your kids and still calls them by them into their adult years

• honesty and respect is the one thing he instills in the kids

• he lets them have ice cream for breakfast on their birthdays

• type of dad to call and ask what you're doing rather than text

As a Dad: Raph Edition

Authoritative

• we can all agree that as burly and as hard headed and as gruff and as *violent* as this man can be, this man adores kids

• yes as he matures he becomes more level headed but nothin knocked his head on straighter than having children (again biologically by a miracle or adoption)

• screw the books, he's gonna watch movies and wing it

• very patient for the 0-8 month stage with the crying and getting up at ungodly hours because hey, not the kids fault they can't talk

• loves naptime and tummy time the most because he loves baby noises...and yes, they do carry on a conversation

• definitely tries to get the kids to walk and talk as early as possible because they "need to learn quick to keep up with me"

• very hands on dad with bathtime, bedtime, and feeding time. he can't operate a diaper to save his life

• once the kid is walking and able to say some words, oh this man becomes prideful real fast

• ages 2-7 were definitely something else because he learned quickly silence was no bueno

• not a yeller but his voice does elevate to some degree, especially if his kids back talk

• that being said, while he doesn't have schedules for the kids (he leaves that to his partner), they do have to have some sort of a routine to keep them in line

• not a big stickler for bad grades but like leo, if the kids are genuinely trying their best and still get a C, he's fine with it...they better have a good reason for below a C tho

• his father was strict but still allowed him to be a kid, so he does the same thing with his own

• thus comes the 13-17 ages. oh boy.

• tries to channel his kids anger into ninjitsu, which works, but then it very quickly back fired cause now the kids are trying to kill each other

• his temper is definitely inherited by his kids and now he knows how his father felt, so he often goes to him for advice

• now his kids have to clean the house top to bottom and they can't go out for a week when they act up

• doesn't believe in physical punishments, rather he prefers to make the kids do things he doesn't like to do (example, clean).

• he teaches his kids how to be polite and respectful, especially around splinter

• don't let him anywhere near their homework.

• always asks the kids what they're up to and stays very involved with everything they do

• like leo, he's nonbiased when it comes to gender, but he's secretly dad girl coded

• has no problem getting on the floor and playing with his kids

• he definitely calls it babysitting

• he's the more fun parent but the kids also know not to give him attitude

• little girl wants dad to be a princess for halloween? no problem

• son wants dad to teach him how to kill a man? no problem

• will not remember school schedules...like at all

• makes sure his kids know how to sew/knit

• makes sure his kids know how to cook

• creates a space where they can always talk to him about anything

• obviously kids make mistakes, he just doesn't want them trying to lie or cover it up. honesty is key

• number one fan of the kids sports teams and never misses an event from the shadows

• definitely the parent that gets mad at the coaches

• calls the kids nicknames based on their height or distinct personality trait

• dad yawns and dad sneezes

• if his kid has friends, he needs to know everything about them for...science reasons

• definitely the "well i guess you wont do that again, will you?" dad

• he totally tells his kids their limb needs cut off if it's bleeding
