Meeting Clara (but happy and cannon)

i had full intentions of coloring this. but that would take forever and i reached my limit as far as this comic goes a while ago. i have no idea what it was, but this comic fought me every step of the way. It didn't matter if i was having a good art day or not, as soon as i opened this document, i'd struggle.

But it's done now. so there's that

#tmnt #rottmnt #seer twins au #apocalypse timeline #my doodles #rise leo #rise donnie #oc clara #i'd rant in the tags like i usually do #but i'm exhausted #and it would just end up me complaining about how frustrated i am with this comic #which i don't think anyone wants to hear #so enjoy the comic #i'm going to bed before i turn this entire post into just me bitching #i'll catch up on asks tomorrow

*comes into ask how with a shaky smile*

Howdy there Hon. I hope the New Years been treating you alright so far, and I wish that it will continue to bless you with the goodness you deserve ✨🧡

Sorry to bother your inbox again, but this is “Independent Woman” from a request a couple weeks ago and I've had kind of a rough day, and your writing always makes me smile.

If it's not too much to ask, may I request a follow-up on that prompt please? How the Bayverse/Rise boys would react to their stubbornly independent SO having a rough day to the point that they cave and ask for cuddles?

No stress, no worries if you're not in the mood for it. I totally understand. Please take care of yourself first and foremost! Please drink water and know you are appropriated! 🧡✨

howdy anon-chan! 🧡

i'm so sorry that you've had a rough day. i hope at this point it's going a little better and that you're able to get the rest you need. there's a quote that i like to think about when i'm having a rough time: "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." -Mary Anne Radmacher

anyway, i hope this helps you smile!

(here's the other post)

Leonardo

Leo has been waiting for (hoping for, praying for) this, for you to come to him in your time of need. He feels bad, he doesn't actually want you to have a bad time or a rough day, but at the same time he loves to be needed. He already has a plan in place.

Mikey scampers off at his signal, and Leo escorts you to his room. There he encourages you to get under the covers and mess up his bed however you need to in order to get comfy.

Then he climbs in with you and holds you. He doesn't ask about what's wrong, doesn't try to talk to you about anything. He can tell that isn't what you need right now.

Mikey comes in (quietly for once) with some tea. He sets the tray down on the bedside table and smiles at you before quickly leaving. Leo tells you that the tea is there if you want it, then goes back to quietly holding you.

You realize, after laying in his arms for a while, that he is meditating. You try to match your breathing to his, and you see a small smile steal across his face when he feels what you are doing. You fell right into his trap.

The two of you breathe in sync for a while, just soaking in each other's presence.

If you decide to talk about it, Leo listens very closely to you. He's not confident that it will happen, but he hopes that you'll tell him if it's something he can help with. No matter what though, if you just need to vent or need advice or need him to do something for you, he will respect your wishes.

Raphael

Raph's first instinct is to find out who hurt you so that he can go take care of them. Fortunately, he goes with his second instinct, which is to bundle you in his arms and carry you to his room.

Once there, he climbs into bed and rearranges the two of you until you are both comfortable. He makes sure you are completely covered with him, his strong hands rubbing your back. "I've got ya sweetheart. What do ya need?"

Raph isn't quite confident in his ability to comfort you, so he does need some guidance. But once you let him know what you need, he's on top of it.

If you just want to curl up on his plastron and be held, he will stay with you as long as you need. He will rub your back. He will be your own personal weighted blanket. Gentle touches or rough hugs, hell if you need him to distract you he will. Anything for you.

(Raph finds that he wants to give you the gentle touches. He wants to hold you gently, he wants to show you softness. But if that's not what you need, he'll just have to talk to you about it later. This ain't about him.)

If you want to talk about it, if you need to vent, Raph'll listen. He'll empathize. He might growl or mutter as you talk, but he won't interrupt. If you want advice, he'll do his best to give it to you.

Anything you need, he'll get it for you. Drink, food, more pillows? It's there almost before you ask for it. You won't have to lift a finger or do anything if you don't want to. "I'll take care of you princess."

Donatello

Donnie immediately has so many questions, but he sets them aside. You asked him to help you learn how to be cared for, so he's going to do just that.

He takes to the lab, because the bed there is comfier than the one in his room. He puts on some music you like and turns down the volume. He encourages you to climb in and climbs in behind you. He lays down and lets you climb on him however you want.

Once the two of you are comfortable, he asks if you want to talk about it. He realizes that you need to be guided into asking for what you want, and he's prepared to do that. Your answer is the beginning of the mental flow chart Donnie created specifically for caring for you.

If you do want to talk about it, Donnie first asks if you want advice or if you just want to vent. Once that's established, he is an active listener. He asks questions and gives you nudges if he thinks you need it. He'll make those snarky comments that make you laugh. He checks in periodically to make sure that you're still okay. Talking to Donnie will always make you feel better.

If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay too. He'll ask if there's anything you need, then send the drone to zap Raph into getting it for you. Once Raph is gone (rubbing his arm and muttering murderously), Donnie settles in for a nice long cuddle session with you.

If you're okay with it, he pulls up some work. He asks if you want a distraction, and if so he'll start telling you about what he's doing. Donnie works with one hand while the other absentmindedly rubs your arm. He still checks in every once in a while to make sure you're okay and ask if you need anything.

Michelangelo

Mikey, much like Leo, hates that you're upset but is so happy that you came to him so he could care for you. This is a huge step, you're making progress! Now it's his turn to make progress, to show you how he can care for you.

He asks if you need anything first, so he can grab it without interrupting the "epic cuddle session" you're about to have. (Later, when you ask him to get you something, he'll interrupt the cuddle session anyway with zero complaints. He just wants you to be happy.)

Once that's all taken care of, he hustles you off to his room, hand on your back. Thank the pizza gods that Leo had forced him at sword point to clean it the day before. You both get in bed and get comfy.

He holds you as if you are a treasure, a beloved teddy bear. It is hard to believe that Mikey can be this gentle. He wraps you in blankets and props you up with pillows until you are surrounded in softness and him.

Then he starts to talk. He chatters on about anything and everything, whatever comes to mind. His skateboard tricks, their latest encounter with the Foot, Raph breaking his most recent lifting record... you are caught up on ALL the turtle gossip.

Mikey doesn't stop until he gets a smile out of you. When he sees it, his answering smile lights up the room. He asks if you are feeling better. If you are, he starts being silly, kissing your face and tickling you until you are crying from laughter. If you aren't, he asks if you want to talk about it. He'll listen and commiserate with you, and support you no matter what.

[iamheretemporarly]

I just thought of something that genuinely almost made me cry, but does Leo still celebrate the boy’s birthday?

Im just thinking of him sitting alone in the kitchen with a lonely candle

~ sobs at my own mental image ~

He's a very sad middle aged man, give him a break

[misteria247]

I just gotta ask since I'm very curious and if you don't wanna reply, because it is not up your alley, please feel free to ignore this!!

Any thoughts about Medic 12!Raph and 12!Donnie? Been thinking about Raph wanting to be one too, after the disaster that is the season 2 finale and Donnie teaching him everything he knows. Raph was shown to have patched up Mikey before, after all!!

I'm so sorry, I just love medic headcanons and my Strawberry&Grape duo shdjdkfkf-

!!!!!!! OOOOOOO-!!!

Actually this is a really good idea!! Having Raph take up lessons in medicine and medical care is absolutely a big brain move! And it'd work so well cuz if Donnie or Leo go down then Raph's right there to fill in the gap!!

Plus this would with Raph's character extremely well because he'd want to learn all this stuff so he can prevent another incident like Leo's coma, throat and knee injuries from ever happening again. He'd be full of guilt and frustration at feeling so powerless during such a critical crisis and he'd want to not be in that kind of position ever again if he could help it. Honestly dude I love this head canon!!!!!!

Presenting: The ROTTMNT Colour-Deaf Au

This has been sitting in my drafts for a long, long time, and I can’t wait to finally share it.

1 day post final movie scene. Everyone’s wounds are finally healed, and everything is back to normal. 

And then, Donnie wakes up. His head hurts like hell. It’s not a sensory overload, everything’s fine, it just... there’s an ache. So he gets up and out of his room and...

The lair is stained with purple splashes. Dark ones, not his fault, the Kraang. But... but they’d washed it all out, the lair looked fine now.

Mikey’s room opens. Out walks Donnie’s brother except... no. Mikey’s not wearing his mask, showing off the orange spots dotted around his eyes. Tied to his wrists are a green fabric, the one they all had to represent the loss of Karai, and on the other is... his own mask. And then, trailing down his arms, are two very familiar mask tails. Leo’s and Raph’s. And then, as if that wasn’t confusing enough, tied around Mikey’s waist is Donnie’s purple hoodie.

And when Mikey see’s Dee he doesn’t... he doesn’t say anything. Just sighs and pulls out his phone. Sticks some headphones in his ears and walks into the kitchen like- like Donnie wasn’t even there.

#colour-deaf au #please send in asks about this #'cause I cannot put this into a fic #rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise mikey #rise donnie #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #this is going to be a painful au i'm sorry. #also #unlike most tumblr aus #i can't draw #SO #uhm... #i'll explain the mikey design in a later post. #don't let this flop #i have so much planned

#i understand being upset about it #but i dont get why it's so surprising #imo we can't even know if that ss is real #but it doesnt even matter #louis did talk to her and her son. we saw the video of him asking her to stop recording to 'bring in f' which again. no way of knowing #if it did happen #louis mentioned he had a son to another kid while touring the US #he brought the kid to one of the shows #had him over at donny for christmas or around that time #wished him a hbd through twitter #!!! #all this in less than a year #so fuck yeah i get being upset about the situation. about using children. about him being still trapped in this situation #and I get being frustrated about this shit never ending and about not knowing what the purpose of it all is #but i dont understand why this specific thing makes things so much worse #things regarding this stunt have gone downhill for a while with no signs of it getting better #so ig what i mean is i don't get where the disappointment comes from now #stunt mention #discourse

Did you ever name the cat? She deserves a really good one she basically saved Leo's life back there

this Holly Blue backstory fic is getting so long I may have to put it on AO3 cause reading it on tumblr would be hell RIP Guess I could make a collection of them (assorted VHHB fics that I can’t wedge into the main story)

#scribs speaks #like this is already 4k #and I don't even get to the depressing part of the whole mess #also considering a couple of donnie and holly one shots #including one about a subject I'm surprised no one asked about #hee hoo

[whattraintracks]

Obsessed with the scene in tmnt iii when Casey is told he'll be staying behind with Splinter. He visibly considers homiecide before saying with great solemnity "it'll be a serious honor"

#until i skimmed through the movie just now i thought for sure he and splinter had more scenes together just hanging out or chatting #they deserved an epic bromance #also casey's entire intro scene is glorious #the sick guitar riff his general caseyness HIS HAIR #he says hi to donnie first who basically blows him off #he sounds so sweet when he asks how leo's doing i was like aw he really cares about this kid #and then hEy RaPh HoW'd YoUr BrAiN iMpLaNt Go #absolutely lethal #anyway enough of this camaraderie except he says it like the word is painful #donnie says smart stuff about the space-time continuum #casey: what does all that mean in american? #donnie: deadline or turtle soup #raph and leo's adorable little woahs! #and then casey says bummer in the weirdest possible way i don't even know but like what???? #90s casey everyone he is the man ever #casey jones #tmnt iii #tmnt 1990s #tmnt
