Wait- her name was NEVER Angel?? Bro I genuinely assumed her name was Angel because a long time ago I dug thru some of your old posts and thought I saw mentions of her name actually being Angel. Yeah I looked for them again and found out "Ohhhhhhhhh... Okay so I'm stupid-" (Honestly I won't change my version of Casey's sister's name despite that. Mainly because I don't wanna start brainstorming ideas for names which I suck at)

Nope. To my knowledge, Casey's little sister's name was never mentioned or confirmed.

Fans have just all unanimously agreed that his sister's name is Angel because of Casey's dynamic with Angel in the 2003 series. Angel Bridge in 03 is a 14 year old girl who's friends with Casey and later becomes an ally of the Turtles. To my knowledge, their relationship gave off a dysfunctional big brother and little sister vibe. Casey was very protective of her and Angel was always rebelling against his actions.

since i just reblogged saying smthn about casey being able to cook i think i should share with you this thought i had like a month ago while cooking dinner

So, and just hear me out on this, April isn't BAD at cooking. she can do it. She just. Shes not too good at the flavor part on her own. she has to follow a recipe or it will be dry, bland, and overall a. not bad but NOT GOOD. experience.

So, within the farmhouse arc, April is cooking dinner. Casey walks in, makes a couple jokes about being married, yadda yadda, normal casey stuff. Then he sees. then he sees the bland mess that she is cooking. i'm talking chicken with no seasoning other than salt.

Casey: not even pepper?

April: It's a bit too spicy for my tastes..

Casey:

#Then he kicks her out of the kitchen and makes a decent meal #Leo says some shit like “this is really good april! you really stepped up tonight!” #and donnie nods furiously as the other siblings make various noises of agreement #(mikey is mumblinghow he still could have done better) #and april laughs and says #thanks guys! Casye actually worked on it more though #he really made it good.. added all these seasonings and spices and really made it tasty when i was too scared to! #And all four of the turtles stare at him in disbelief #and he yells something about his sister always begging him too cook while hes beet red #and how he had always followed his abuela's recipes from her cookbook in their kitchen so he really wasnt all that good it was just memory #i added way to many tags bruh #2012 tmnt #2012 casey jones #tmnt 2012 #2k12 tmnt #tmnt 2k12

“Sometimes I get annoyed with fans headcanoning Cassandra as lesbian because I feel that a lot of fans do so because she's masculine. And while I know that some women who are masculine are also lesbians, not all women who are masculine are lesbians. Some can be straight, bi, or pan. Being feminine or masculine does not dictate your sexuality.”

Now I'm wondering what would Casey Jr be? Would he be a little star? Or an astronaut like April?

Hmmm I didn't think abt that tbh 🤔🤔 maybe bc he's essentially leo's son in the future, he's one of leo's stars ;;;;;;

Is there something Ethan and Kaycee / Tobias and Casey were obsessed with when they were kids/teens ? (a collection of something, a tv show, an artist, a hobby, etc.)

Hi Nonny - thanks for your patience! :)

Let's see...

I can see Ethan being obsessed with toy trains as a young boy. Alan had one that encircled the Christmas tree each year, and Ethan was enthralled. He and Louise discussed getting one that they could leave up year-round, but they thought it would take the magic away, so they decided against it. But when Ethan was around 8, Alan put one in the basement, complete with the whole layout of a little village that it would go through. It is still there, and every so often when Ethan visits, he'll go downstairs to see it.

Kaycee's two obsessions were reading and bike riding. She's still an avid reader, and that started when she was very, very young. As far as riding her bike, she and her friends would ride all throughout their neighborhood in Philly. As she got older, her parents extended the parameter that she could ride in, and each little bit of freedom she received was like a gift.

Tobias loved music. I HC that he has a beautiful singing voice (though most don't know it), and he also plays the piano. It mostly came from him spending time with Vivian's parents as a child. They were very involved in their church, and they took him along, singing was a part of that, and when the musical director noticed he had talent, he took him under his wing. But it went beyond that. He had an old record player and collection before it became cool again. He was into many types of music and became a collector. As a teen, going to concerts and live performances was his favorite thing to do. Well... second favorite. 😂😏😂

Casey was also bike riding (see above) but also ice skating. She started skating at a little outdoor rink by her home in Philly, and when her parents noticed how it helped with her anxiety, they made a point to take her more often. In time, they got her a membership to an indoor rink. They didn't have money for lessons, but her dad made a deal with an instructor; their child was struggling in school, and Mr. MacTavish was a teacher, so he tutored the instructor's son, and Casey got lessons. She still skates frequently for fun, she made Tobias learn, and the girls all do too.

Thanks for the ask Nonny!

Pepperoni Punks - Chapter Six

Everything Will Be Okay

————————————

Summary: With finals coming up for Casey along with pulling extra shifts, they start to feel bad for not speanding a lot of time with Raph; leading to an unplanned movie date.

—————————————————

AN: Spoilers for The Lost Boys ig but that’s an old ass movie. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter even though it took over two months to write due to my final exams, being kicked out of my home, mutable breakdowns, ao3 deleting my draft, consent wifi disappearing, and extreme writer’s block.

I tried to correct any misspelling and grammar mistakes. I hope y’all enjoy the last chapter of Pepperoni Punks!^^

—————————————————

It was loud. Too loud. They had left their headphones at the turtles' lair and even if they had them; it wouldn't have helped as their phone was on 9% and they still had about forty minutes till the bell. They only had this class and then they could leave. Where would they go? Casey didn't know, their schedule was all fucked up. They pulled more shifts, studied whenever they could and finals were in a few weeks. Of course everything else in their life would start to spiral. Two of their grades were fs, they had to go to a meeting for their sister's school; so of course their phone finally died when their boyfriend texted. They didn't even get to check their calendar to see if they were on shift tonight. The stress was already getting to them but with their classmates being so loud it was disturbing other classes and the teacher doing nothing; it finally got to them. They couldn't study or focus. They felt like they were gonna throw up. After that observation, everything else was a blur. They ended up in the nurse's office, getting checked out before being sent home.

Of course today was when they decided to get ride from a friend. They were just tired. Casye decided to just call in, luckly their boss would understand. They waited at a bus stop, they had enough and they weren't gonna walk all the way from the school to the lair. They were just sitting at the bus stop, just left with their own thoughts since they couldn't even look at their phone for the time. They just wanted to sleep. Well they mainly wanted to see their partner, maybe it was that they actually felt safe and relaxed with him. They didn't admit it but he was their rock; their person. They were lost in thought which went from thinking about being happy to finally seeing their partner to thinking about how they should be productive. They should at least go to work but how could they if they were on the verge of throwing up. They still feel.. guilty? Casey didn't know, they should've been doing school work while waiting for the bus. What was wrong with them? Why were they feeling sick? There was no stomach bug going around the school or any other thing.

Casey snapped out of their thoughts when they saw the RTD coming up to the stop. They grabbed their bag and got up. They had already had the money in their pocket as they got on and paid. They sat in the back where no one else was. It was just a blur of feeling nauseous, random thoughts that disappeared as quickly as they disappeared, and the occasional old lady every other stop asking if they were okay and offering medicine. Everytime it was, “I’m okay. Thanks m’am”. They didn’t mind the old ladies asking if they were okay, they were always nice to them. Besides that, the bus ride was miserable without any distractions. As they saw their stop coming, they pulled the wire that lined all the windows to signal that a passenger wanted to get off at the next stop. As the bus came to a stop, they made sure that they had their bag and everything. They got up when the bus stopped and the doors opened.

They walked off to the all too familiar alley. They were slightly surprised that the smell of the sewer didn't make them throw up when they entered. Maybe they were just used to the smell. Casey made their way to the lair, a little unervered that the main living area was empty and the whole lair was unusually quiet. That was until they got closer to the dojo where they heard the turtles training. Right, training day. Instead of looking in to see what they were practicing now, they just quietly made their way to Raph’s room. They felt a small smile on their face when they noticed that Raph had put their headphones on the small nightstand along with their phone charger among random hair ties they left there. He had given them a tiny space on the nightstand. It was a small action, a small consideration but it meant a lot. They didn’t know how they would explain it if asked but in that moment it meant a lot. They plugged in their phone and waited til it turned on. They still had to call out and they didn’t want to hear the ‘I told you to take a break’ that would come from their manager. He was a great manager and was friends with Casey. They didn’t worry about getting in trouble or anything, not at all; they didn’t want to hear the lecture about how they shouldn’t overwork themself. Casey ended up on the bed, laying on the side closer to the wall. It was ‘their’ side. It was about two minutes before they started to doze off, they didn’t fight the wave of exhaustion that hit as soon as their head landed on the pillow.

━━━━━

Raph had finished training about twenty minutes after Casey had fallen asleep. It was rather easy that day besides sparring with Leo. That was usually hard since they both were competitive. There weren't any evil plans or foes to stop and he wasn’t the one to go on patrol tonight. “No patrol for me, just training; cya later.” That’s what he had texted Casey earlier and when he checked to see if they had sent anything back; the message wasn’t even read. He thought it was a little weird and took note of it even if it could be easily explained as they hadn’t gotten a notification. He didn’t really have an explanation for when they weren’t in the living room like they usually would on training days. If anything he should be a little worried but he was actually a bit frustrated. Maybe it was because they were supposed to be there, they did make a promise to take a break from studying and a few nights off from work. Raph knew it wasn’t like Casey to break a promise and go back on their word. He knew that Casey would’ve at least sent a text if they were going to not be there until later.

“Dude, yo, earth to Raph!” Mikey practically shouted into Raph’s ear, taping him on the shoulder. He quickly turned to look at his brother. “What? Is someone dying or something?” He asked sarcastically. The younger one punched him lightly, “You were just standing there. Leo offered you tea and you were like lost in thought. Are you good?” Raph didn’t remember Leo asking or even coming up to him. “All good mike. Just tired I guess.” Nothing else was said as Raph moved past Mikey and into the little kitchen . He wasn’t hungry, he never was after training but he was always thirsty. He dodged and ignored when his brothers tried talking to him. He was out of energy for the day. He quickly grabbed two sodas out of the fridge, not checking what flavor and only grabbing two out of habit. He made his way to his room, the door was already cracked open but he didn’t think much about it. He entered quietly, setting down the drinks on one of the random shelves that was hung on the wall slightly above his bed.

Raph noticed that Casey had put their phone to charge in the spot that he gave them on his nightstand. He knew it was a small thing to do, giving your partner their own space on your nightstand should be a given but he had grown up with little personal space and respect for that space. So maybe it was a stupid thing but he knew that Casey would still think it was cute that he had given them some of his oh so precious personal space. He sat down on the bed and grabbed one of the sodas; opening it carefully, not to wake the other up. It was rather quiet in the lair. There was an occasional shout when Donnie would tell Mikey to not mess with stuff in his lab and Leo telling both of them to be quiet. There was always chaos one way or another. Though it wasn’t that bad. He didn’t have anything to do. He read all the new comic issues that Casey had brought him, surprisingly he had cleaned early, and he wasn’t in the mood to fill the silence with the boombox that he and the other shared.

He mainly just stared at the wall in front of him, taking sips of soda here and there. It was when half the soda was gone when he got the idea to play with Casey’s hair. They had told he could when they were sleeping as long as he didn’t tangle it and stuff. Raph had been learning how to do hair from April. He knew the easy hair stuff like pigtails, pony tails, and messy buns. For anyone braids would be on the easy hair stuff list too but it was a bit difficult with turtle fingers. Eventually he had gotten the hang of it. He sat a bit closer to Casey and gently started to braid their hair. He had no plan besides just braiding. This was nice. Just sitting there with his partner, braiding with their hair while they slept with nothing to worry about. No worries about evil plans and foes to stop, only worry about waking up the other if he pulled their hair too hard. This was normal. This was regular teen stuff. ”Regular?” Raph thought. None of this was normal though. For one they were in a bedroom in the sewers. Two, one of them was a fucked up teenager and the other was a fucked up turtle that regularly fought, well, basically fought super villains. But that was normal to them. It was their normal. He snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed that Casey was now looking at him, their head resting on his lap. “I thought you couldn’t braid..” They mumbled through a yawn. Raph smiled, “Learned how to from April.” He finished off the braid with a hair tie.

━━━━━

Casey had actually woken up awhile ago but didn’t want to ruin the moment. The normal, regular moment. “I thought you couldn’t braid..” They mumbled through a yawn. They were still tired but didn’t care. They had gotten enough sleep, must’ve been that sleep debt thing that Donnie had told them about. They noticed how Raph had smiled before talking. “Learned how from April.” Casey hummed, “Hmm, you did a good job.” They touched the braid. It was a little messy, strands of hair sticking out here and there. They let the braid go. “How was training?” They mumbled as they looked up at Raph. Casey noticed some bruising, which must've been from training. “It was okay. I almost beat Leo in a best out of three.” Raph sounded annoyed but not at anyone. It was more of a playful annoyance. “You’ll get him next time.” Casey assured him. They smiled as they felt Raph start taking out the braid. “You could've just left it.” The other just shrugged and played with their hair. “How did you even know that I was training?” He questioned.

Casey took a minute, “I heard it from the dojo when I first came. Phone died when you texted.” Raph just nodded. They knew that he was holding in an “I told you to plug in your phone.” He instead ran his fingers through their hair. It used to be greasy and straight, only curling at the ends but now they took better care of it after their sister made a comment about how it shined in a bad way. Now it was fluffy and soft; curls basically all over the place. It made them happy being able to get it healthy again. It also made them happy to have complete control over something in their life when everything else wasn’t decided by them. “How was school? Get any studying done?” Casey groaned at the question. “It was alright I guess. My last period was killing me. It was soo loud I couldn’t even study or barely focus on anything.” They exaggerated the “oo” part of so just to be dramatic. “I ended up throwing up and getting sent home.”

Raph seemed disappointed but Casey couldn’t really tell what he was feeling when he started to speak there was a hint of concern. “At least you didn’t just push through it.” He continued to run his fingers through their hair, gently pulling curls. “Did you eat anything or was it caused by stress?” He questioned. Casey hadn’t even really thought about what caused it. They only had a burnt piece of toast that morning. They were also so stressed that they were on the verge of having a panic attack at school. They certainly didn’t know what caused it, there were too many factors but ultimately landed on stress to blame. “I guess it was stress. It’s nothing I haven’t dealt with before.” Raph stayed quiet, maybe he wasn’t disappointed. Maybe he was just worried and Casey would admit that they would be worried if the roles were reversed.

━━━━━

After that time didn’t feel like a thing as the two of them just laid there occasionally talking about something before falling into silence. Not an uncomfortable silence, very much the opposite. Raph enjoyed just being able to cuddle and be cheesy with the other. Casey enjoyed the quiet moments where Raph was present, it didn’t matter what or what not they were doing.

━━━━━

“You know, you still haven’t watched Reanimator with me.” Casey said quietly. They didn’t know what time it was but knew that some of the others were asleep. Raph looked down to meet their eyes. “Dude, the way you described the plot made it sound fucking disgusting. I love you so much but it sounds like a fuck awful movie.” There was no ill intent behind his words. If anything it made Casey giggle. “I guess I didn’t describe it well. Besides, I won't make you watch it. However, we are going to watch The Lost Boys.” “You mean that vampire one?” Raph asked. He listened to Casey rant about so many horror movies that it was hard to keep track of them and what kind of monsters were in each. The other nodded, sitting up and crossing their legs. “Well put it on, whatcha waiting for.” He watched as his partner got excited and grabbed their laptop out of their bag.

From what he knew, horror meant a lot to Casey. It was their favorite genre of movies, games, books, and whatever else there could be. They had once told him that it was what they would watch with their sister if she needed to be distracted by something. Admittedly, Raph didn’t get why anyone would get comfort from horror movies but he did get the sentimental bit of watching something with family. Casey logged into some random streaming service and set up the laptop in front of them. They started the movie before laying on their side, head resting on raph’s lap and he started to play with their hair again. The movie started well. It was easy to tell that it was made in the mid eighties. The music, costumes, etc.

There was a weird long sax scene but the beginning was still good. Raph asked questions about random things. Mainly stuff about vampires and how the crew was able to do the special effects. Casey answered his questions no matter how stupid they were. It was nearing the big fight at the Emerson house when the younger teens were preparing. The scene currently playing was the one where the Frog brothers run into the church and start filling flasks and shits up with holy water. “Can you do that?” Raph asked quietly. “Do what?” They asked confused, with no clue what he was referring to. “Steal the holy water?” Raph asked with complete seriousness, not a sign of it being a joke anywhere. It took a second for Casey to say anything without laughing. “A movie full of vampires that is somewhat queer and the question you ask in all seriousness is if you can steal holy water?” They joked as they thought of an actual answer. “I don’t think there’s a rule against it. I guess as long as you’re not interrupting a service or some shit.” They made a mental note to find an actual answer. Raph just gave a smile nod, seemingly satisfied with the answer. The movie continued with both occasionally commenting on the gore and deaths.

“Is David actually dead? They didn’t do anything cool after death with his body like exploding or someth’. The antlers also look like they missed his heart.” Raph asked. The other shrugged, “You’ll just have to read the sequel comics with me.” Casey said, looking at him with a smile. They tried to stay quiet for the rest of the movie but had laughed when it was revealed that David wasn’t the head vampire and that it was Max instead and Raph actually gasped. The movie ended and the credits rolled. Raph could see why Casey seemed to like it so much. The gore and effects were good, the soundtrack was amazing especially because of Cry Little Sister. “So, did you like it?” They asked as they sat up and exited out of the end credits . Raph nodded, “I thought it would’ve been worse. Only part that was kinda weird was the really long sax solo at the beginning .” Casey laughed, “It’s a weird scene but that’s what makes it The lost Boys.” Casey yawned as they looked for another to watch.

“We don’t have to watch another movie if you’re tired, Case.” Raph said quietly. They looked at him, “You sure? I know that I haven’t spent a lot of time with ya.” They felt bad for taking on more shifts but they needed the extra shifts. “I just want to make up for the missed time, I feel bad about it.” They said quietly, closing their laptop. They didn’t look at Raph. “Case, I don’t mind. It’s what you have to do for you and your sister. As long as you take care of yourself and you still show up, it’s alright. I get it, we both have shit going on.” He told them. He himself would disappear due to missions and other ninja stuff. “All I ask is that you tell me if something's wrong.” Casey looked at him and gave a small smile, “I know. Finals will be over soon and after this month I can go back to my normal work hours.” They were glad that he understood, even if it would lead to a disagreement here and there; it still helped. They put their laptop back in their bag.

Casey yawned again, “I think we should both go to bed. You got some pretty big dark circles there.” Raph elbowed them before moving the thick blankets to the foot of the bed; leaving one to go against the wall for Casey. With it getting warmer as spring was ending, there wasn’t much need for all the blankets. Even with it becoming warmer in the lair it was still cold some nights, so the two of them shared a thin knitted blanket. He handed the other the hair tie he used when playing with their hair. Casey put their hair into a quick braid and tied it. They laid down on “their” side, back facing the wall and waited for Raph to lay down before covering up with the thin yarn blanket. Raph had turned off the bright lamp that lit up the room and turned on the small Christmas lights that hung around the room. He put his head on his pillow, facing the other. One of them would either wake up from a nightmare or they would wake up tangled up cuddling and going to sleep facing each other seemed to lessen the nightmares for some reason. “You know, the next movie I should have you watch is Blood In Blood Out.” Casey said, closing their eyes. “Yeah yeah, another horror movie? Add it to the list.” Raph said jokingly. Casey was quick to open their eyes, “It’s not a horror movie. It’s a good ass Chicano movie.” They told him not in a mean way, knowing that he didn’t really get to see that many movies. Raph put his hands up as a my bad. They both chuckled and sighed.

Casey closed their eyes and curled up next to Raph, “Love you, dude.” Raph warped his arms around them. “You do? You goin’ soft on me, Case?” He teased them before jokingly elbowing him. “Say it back, fool.” Raph laughed a bit and rolled his eyes. “I love you too, Casey.”

AN: I loved writing this work and it will forever hold a place in my heart as my first thing to ever be posted on ao3. I had a lot of fun writing all the chapters and reading all the comments. I really hope that this is a good enough last chapter. I will probably write other thing for this au/my own iteration of tmnt later but I might post some spiderverse stuff first.

Peace and love y’all ^^

hi soph, i saw some of your posts about boyfriend material and I’m about halfway through now, it’s SO GOOD!!! i haven’t read a book in a long time (like… years) and i wanted to get back into reading and didn’t know where to start so im really glad i saw you mention this one :) id love to hear if you have any other recs :))

omg thanks Allie!! so happy to share my fave book!!! also did you know there's a sequel coming out at the start of August?? it's called Husband material 😉 Here's some recs, (all queer I don't read anything else)

I recently read a newer book by the same author of boyfriend material, called Something Fabulous, its about a Duke chasing down his runaway fiance and accidentally falling for her brother. its ridiculous, and hilarious and literally everyone in it is queer. More explicit than any of the others on this list, not fade to black.

You've probably either seen or been recommended Red White and Royal blue by Casye McQuiston, it really is hilarious and really easy to read. First son of the United States having an affair with the Prince of England. Scandal ensues. V romantic, funny and sweet. also trump doesn't exist in this universe which is nice.

by the same author as RWRB you have One Last Stop, a bi girl moves into a (very queer) flat and starts a new life in new york only to fall for a girl who can't leave the subway. the friendship group and found family in this one has my heart. there's time travel hijinks, drag queens, and a lot of pancakes. really good trans (ftm) rep too.

if you want something more serious, All that's left in the World by Eric J Brown is a post apocalyptic story of two survivors, travelling together, and looking for hope in a broken world. Very slow burn, very complicated and dark, but oddly hopeful considering. This one's YA, they're teenagers.

Happy reading!! let me know what you think if you give any of them a try (also I haven't managed to convince any irl friends to read boyfriend material so when the sequel comes out prepare for me to be squealing in your inbox) xxx

Alleyway

This is an alternate version is a scene from a current WIP, this scene technically takes place before Make It Stop. Raph is the only one who knows the details of the abuse at this point and no details are discussed here.

The last of the Dragons hit the ground with a groan. The woman they'd been harassing was crouched wide eyed and clunching her purse to her chest.

Leo offered her his hand while Mikey and Donny high-fived behind him. "Are you alright?"

"Who are you people?" She questioned.

Leo smiled kindly. "That's a little complicated. All you need to know is we're here to help."

She tentatively took his hand and Leo helped her to her feet.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, I think I'm-"

Casey suddenly cried out, clearly in pain.

"Donny, get over here!" Raphael snapped.

Leo turned and darted to his brother who was gingerly helping Casey to the ground.

"What happened?" Leo demanded and took Casey's other arm to help Raph keep him steady.

"I dunno, I was helpin' up and he just dropped on me."

"Mikey, go get my bag from the roof," Donny ordered.

"You got it, hermano!" He chirped and flipped up onto the fire escape.

"My knee," Casey panted, digging his heel into the ground and pressing back against Raph.

"Easy, pal, I gotcha, buddy," Raph soothed and held him against his chest.

"Pardon me," Donny said and bodily shoved Leo out of his way. He snipped out seam of Casey's jeans and ripped them open, drawing another cry of pain from Casey as he arched his back.

"It's definitely dislocated," Don announced. "Raph-"

"Yeah, I got 'im." Raph folded Casye's arms over his chest and held them pinned to his chest. He stopped for a moment and lifted Casey's mask from his face and set it aside. "Here, pal, let's get this off'a ya, so you can breathe."

"Casey?!"

Everyone turned, suddenly remembering the woman they had rescued. She jumped when a bag fell from the sky followed by another giant turtle.

Casey swore under his breath and dropped his head back on Raph's shoulder.

"Is that-" he started Casey nodded before he could finish.

"Leo, Mikey, one'a you get her outta here so Don can get this taken care of."

"Shouldn't we call an ambulance?" Jenna questioned.

"No," Casey said flatly. "No, I want Donny to do it."

"Casey-"

"I said, no!" He snapped, his chest beginning to heave.

Jenna jumped back slightly at his tone.

"My brother knows what he's doing," Leo assured. "Let me walk you home, okay?"

"I want to stay!" She argued and pulled her arm away. "He's my friend."

"Let's at least give them some space, alright?" He said and led her out of the alley way.

"I gave you a brace for a reason," Donatello growled under his breath.

"Hey," Raph cut him off. "Not now, alright? Just get 'im patched up so I can get him outta here, alright?" He leaned his head against Casey's. "I ain't gonna let her near you, okay?" He promised quietly.

Don's eyes went wide in realization and he nodded. "Alright. Deep breath, Case."

Casey closed his eyes tried to stay as relaxed as possible as Don straightened his leg, slowly guiding the dislocated kneecap back into place.

It clicked into place with another painful cry.

"Almost done," Donny assured softly he quickly plucked out a spare brace and skillfully wrapped it around Casey's leg. He moved to Casey's side and together he and Raph got Casey to his feet. "Mikey, get the manhole cover," Don ordered. "I'll hold on to him while you go down first, Raph. Once we're down, Mikey, you go tell Leo we left. Raph and I will wait here with Casey, while one of you bring the Battle Shell around."

i want to complain about the slow-motion breakdown i’m having over being in the same job for 4 years but i don’t want to be That Asshole who complains about my work when some people can’t even get a job.

#i just don't feel like i'm cut out for long term employment #but the american workforce is long term employment minded #shouldn't it matter more how good i am at my job than how long i plan to stay? #i'd rather have an excellent employee for one year than a subpar one for ten #personal #shut up casye
