Hello! I'm having a bit of a rough time so I thought I'd send this ask. What would the turtles be like with a S/O that has anxiety, depression and PTSD? How would they help them if their depression is bad enough that on some days they can't get out of bed, forget to eat, etc? Bonus if S/O is plus-sized/kinda chubby and insecure about it.

TMNT Boys x Depressed!GN!Reader Headcanons

Pairings: Rise!TMNT x GN!Reader

Summary: How the boys would react to a S/O with anxiety/depression/PTSD

Warnings: Mentions of depression, body insecurities, andskipping meals. Contains spoilers for Rise Movie

Type: Angst 💔, Romantic ❤️, Hurt/Comfort ❤️‍🩹

A/N: This is a pretty touchy subject, and it could be potentially triggering for some readers. I did a bit of research while writing this, and I tried to depict everything as accurately as I could without getting too specific, but everything might not bee 100% accurate. To the anon that sent the request, I hope that every thing gets better for you and you enjoy the headcanons. Also, always remember that you're beautiful the way you are <3

Headcanons start below cut

Rise of the TMNT Masterlist

Main Masterlist

Rise!Raph x Reader

As the oldest, Raph has the most experience out of all the boys when it comes to comfort (besides maybe Mikey)

As his S/O, Raph is just as protective of you as he is his of his brothers

After the Kraang invasion, Raph felt even more inclined to offer comfort to his brothers, and the same feelings extended to you

On days where you're feeling more down than normal, Raph will cuddle with you for hours to help drown out any dark thoughts

Due to his size, Raph is able to cradle your entire body in his arms, and he does his best to distract you from your thoughts with movie marathons, gaming tournaments, or simply taking about whatever shenanigans he and his brothers are up to

After being possessed by the Kraang, Raph often hears it's voice in the back of his mind even after he was freed from it's control

The two of you often meditate together to clear you mind of any anxious or dark thoughts

Raph is very physically affectionate, so he will always engulf you in big bear hugs whenever he notices you're feeling more down or anxious than others

Although he knows he can't always make the bad thoughts go away, he tries his best to comfort you through physical touch

On the days where you can't get out of bed, Raph will cuddle with you for hours until you feel well enough to get up

If he is ever unable to come see you in person, he will face time you throughout the day so you don't miss out on whatever is going on in the lair that day

You'll never be able to miss meals under Raph's watch

He's used to having to drag Donnie out of his lab every few hours so he doesn't skip meals, so he'll make sure you never forget to eat either

If you ever tell Raph about your body image issues, he'll be quick to reassure you that your size doesn't matter to him

He'll often pick you up and carry you around the lair to prove to you that he loves you regardless of your size

Rise!Donnie x Reader

Obviously, Donnie isn't the most emotionally intelligent one of his brothers (that would be Mikey)

He often struggles with understanding strong emotions, whether they are someone else's or his own

This is still the case even when you start dating

However, even though emotions are not his area of expertise, he would still make and effort for you (you are his S/O after all)

Post Kraang invasion, Donnie would likely also suffer from PTSD to some extent

On days when both of you are feeling overwhelmed, the two of you will spend time in Donnie's lab while he works on his latest project (If he's feeling nice, he may even let you sit on his lap)

Donnie has a very calming presence, so the solitude of his lab allows you to relax your mind as you listen to the soft sounds of Donnie's tinkering

Due to his emotional stupidity, Donnie finds it difficult to comfort you with words of affirmation, and tries to bring you comfort with gift giving instead

Donnie spends hours in his lab creating practical, yet comforting, gifts for you such as weighted blankets or stuffed animals

When Donnie is either busy or on a mission with a brother, he has S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N keep you company and take care of your needs in in absence

On days when you don't feel well enough to get out of bed and come down to the lair, Donnie will come to you

He'll spend hours at your bedside, rambling about his latest invention to distract you from whatever thoughts are plaguing your mind

Donnie often ends up skipping meals after losing track of time while working in his lab

However, he is much more aware of your needs, and makes sure you eat throughout the day

Donnie's not the most talented chef, so he'll often asks Mikey to make your favorite food to make sure you eat properly

Donnie can also relate strongly to your body insecurities

Although it bothers him less as a teenager, Donnie, periodically, gets really insecure about his soft-shell, and feels inadequate compared to his brothers

Donnie doesn't really care much about the appearance of his S/O

The most important thing to him is that he simply enjoys being around you

Whenever you feel insecure about your appearance, Donnie is sure to remind you that he loves you no matter your size <3

Rise!Leo x Reader

Although Leo isn't as good with comfort as Mikey or Raph, he still puts forth his best effort for you

After the Kraang invasion, he definitely has some symptoms of PTSD himself, and is able to relate to you in that regard

He often has nightmares about his time in the prison dimension, so if you also have reoccurring nightmares or trouble sleeping, the two of you will spend many sleepless nights having Jupiter Jim or Lou Jitsu marathons to help clear your minds

On days where you can't get out of bed, Leo will come to you to keep you company

He'll portal to your room with all of you're favorite snacks, and he'll entertain you until you feel better

If you don't feel up to talking, that's also fine!

Leo's willing to sit silently and cuddle until any dark thoughts leaver your mind

In spite of his unserious attitude, Leo is actually a very good listener

Whenever you share your insecurities with Leo, he is quick to smother you with words of affirmation to get rid of any self-deprecating thoughts you may have

Unfortunately, Leo is not always the best at making sure you don't miss meals

He can often become easily distracted and forget basic things like that

Luckily, Mikey is always willing to use you and Leo as taste testers for his new recipes, which helps to cancel out that problem

Overall, Leo is a very loving and attentive boyfriend, and is willing to do anything to support you in spite of his carefree attitude

Rise!Mikey x Reader

Despite being the youngest of the brothers, Mikey is the most emotionally intelligent out of the four

He's also a sympathetic crier

Like Raph, Mikey is also very physically affectionate

Mikey is very in tune to your emotions, so he always senses when you're feeling more depressed or anxious than normal

He always makes sure to give you a big hug whenever he sees you, and showers you with kisses and words of affirmation <3

Like his brothers, on days where you can get out of bed, he will leave the lair and spend the day with you in your room

Mikey will spend all day telling you about his latest missions with his brothers, new recipe ideas, or talk about his improvements with his mystic powers to help keep your mind off things

Accidentally skipping meals isn't something you have to worry about when dating Mikey

One of his love languages is quality time, so he loves spending time with you in the kitchen either cooking together, or having you as his taste tester

If you're not in the lair, he'll text you reminders throughout the day to make sure you don't accidentally skip any meals

Like Donnie, Mikey has no preferences about the appearance of his S/O

Whenever you express your insecurities, he is quick to reassure you that he thinks you're perfect no matter what

parts: One || Two || Three || Four (you’re here!)

I wanted the title to be "Portal Hijinx and a turtle's Sly Winks so badly but... haha. Sorry if this one came out later than anticipated! I've been super busy with work - but I'll try to find more time to work on this book! Also, we hit 1.3k reads on ao3? WHAT? Yall fr like this story? That's WILD! <3 //

One moment you were standing at the bottom of the ladders leading up to the city.

The next moment, you were being held on for dear life by a turtle who was chasing you down with a sword.

It was only at the very last moment when you were too late, did you realize that Leo had pushed you and him through a magical portal leading you to God knows where.

Your first instinct was to scream until you stopped falling. Your second instinct was to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing something that would cause your mind to go medically insane. In a world of turtles and magical swords that opened gateways to... wherever, that wasn't such a farfetched idea to go with.

You don't think a single human being could stop you from screaming your precious little heart out (you were, coincidentally, terrified of the unknown) but Leo, being anything but human, fairly managed to grab ahold of your face and reassure you with a "calm down, you're kind of causing a scene."

....Well, you wouldn't exactly say reassure when all he did was piss you off with those words. Piss-assured. Pissed-assured?

"Leonardo... I know you did not just say that to me." Your voice came out gritted and angry, sending a shiver down the Blue-clad turtle's spine. Although, if you're giving credit where it's due; he did manage to stop you from screaming.

"You just threw us into a portal!!!"

...Nevermind. More screaming ensues.

"I know! I know! And I'm sorry, but it's cool, right? Look where you are right now, it's still exactly what I wanted to show you so it kind of worked, yeah?" Leo waved his hands frantically with an embarrassed smile.

You genuinely didn't have the patience for this right now. You thought Leo was cool, but this was seriously infuriating.

"LEE-O," your voice came out heavy, ignoring the pout that he gave as you angrily gripped his shoulders. It was only when you realized anger won't solve the problem of getting you home that you let out a sigh, calming your nerves and releasing the tension in your jaw.

"Leo," this time you spoke calmly. "I think you're misunderstanding where I'm upset. It doesn't matter where we are. What matters is that we aren't where I need to be right now. My mom expects me to be home soon, and now I'm in the middle of nowhere!"

Your arms shot up dramatically, and you were close to having your anger issues resurfacing again.

"No! That's totally okay!" he didn't even think about apologizing to you (you did NOT take that 'I'm sorry, but' to heart) - something that pissed you off endlessly.

But he continued, "I can just portal you right back to your house once I'm done showing you around!"

"But I don't want you to show me around!"

"PLEAAASE just trust me!! I promise it will be worth your while - you aren't even giving it a chance! Don't lie to me and say you've seen any of this before!"

Although absolutely irate, your curiosity couldn't help but follow Leonardo's outstretched arm. It was only then that you indeed took sight of the place you and him were in.

"....OH WHAT THE FUCK?"

The scenery bloomed with color all around you; pillars, castles, and buildings littered every line of sight. Floating creatures and animals swooped past you high above, and the streets were flooded with monsters and creatures you only knew to compare to the four turtles.

"See?!" Leo beamed. He proceeded to break into a little victory dance while you stood slack-jawed in awe. Or was it shock?

Maybe it was you mentally losing your mind; consciousness becoming aware of things the human brain was never met to comprehend. You fought the urge to roll your eyes to the back of your head.

"This is all... This is seriously some Little Monsters sorta shit," you whispered.

"I don't know what that is but I'm gonna take that as a compliment!" he answered you in a cocky tone, seemingly unaware of how utterly petrified you were.

Honestly, you weren't sure whether or not being petrified was logical for the current situation. On one hand, you wanted to trust Leo, on the other, your 'red-flag subconscious was profusely signaling to you that you were actually being viscously manipulated by four reptilian monsters and one mentally disturbed high schooler so that they may turn you into delicious toppings of a freshly bought pizza.

Your face paled. Surely not, right? Either way, one thing was for certain:

When it came to putting your life into the hands of someone - of all people - maybe it shouldn't be Leonardo.

Eyes never straying from the overwhelming sights before you, you slowly brought out your futuristically refurbished phone from your pocket.

Surprisingly, your phone didn't have a single dent or scratch from the portal fiasco moments before.

[ 23 Unread Messages. ]

A worrisome pit fell to the caverns of your stomach. No one was answering. Was there even reception here? Of course, right? You were clearly sending the messages?

"So! Seeing as I am the only one here with you - and your only means of transportation back home, howsabout I take you on an exciting tour of the Hidden City? It'll be a BLAST, we might even be able to"

"You kidnapped me."

" - WHAT?!"

"You totally kidnapped me!" you shot an accusing finger at Leo, making him jump back.

"I did not!....... Mean to! Ugh!" giving up, Leo slouched with another dramatic pout. You simply crossed your arms.

"Maybe it looks that way to you, but I didn't intend for it to! I was going to show you the cool tricks my sword could do, and where it could take us! I didn't think I'd trip, I just got so excited - "

"So you ran towards me, with a sword, all because you were excited?!"

"Yes! Exactly! I was excited to show you! I wanted to impress you - "

Oh shell, where was he going with this? If he told you he wanted to impress you so you'd think he was cool it would have the complete opposite effect of his goal!

" - you're the first human we've met in seven years that wasn't trying to kill us or call us freaks!"

Your anger dissipated as shock from his confession set in. Words couldn't find their way to your mouth, so he kept on.

"You have no idea how rare this is for us! I just thought that if you were impressed by all the talents we have - all the fun that we can get into, you'd want to.... y'know, stick around." He didn't sound whiny or cheesy like one would imagine, rather like he was... tired.

'Okay, Leo, not necessarily the reason, but it sounds believable enough, right? Makes you sound more brotherly than pathetic.... right???"

As you processed his words, a frown began to pull at your lips. You pitied him - all of them, but didn't you just say you all could -

He wasn't there to hear you say you were staying. To offer a proper hangout.

All he saw was you getting ready to head out of the sewers.

Oh.

"Leo, I don't exactly plan on leaving you guys anytime soon." Your response came out hesitant, "I don't exactly have any other friends I'd rather be hanging out with," the reasoning behind that sentence brought a foul taste to your mouth, but you didn't want to talk about it.

His demeanor quickly changed for the better: back to his usual flirty and hyperactive self. That iconic, charming grin he wore was once again present on his lips.

"None as radically cool as me, right?" he joked. "It'd be hard to top all of this," he smugly gestured to himself, making you roll your eyes.

"Exactly," his face grew hot, "point is, I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to worry about that whatsoever." You took a moment to think.

Your mom wouldn't be... that mad, right? 'Wait a minute... Gadoie, dingbat, why don't you just text her?'

And so you did, face flushed in embarrassment and hands fumbling on the keyboard. You simply wrote: 'Momma, is it alright if I get pizza with my friends? It should only take an hour, maybe two. They offered to drive me home.'

A lie, indeed, but there was some truth! Like the transportation home, and the staying out for two extra hours (that you definitely didn't hope for).

'You can have up to 90 minutes. Be safe.'

Her response came quicker than you anticipated, but you were grateful nonetheless. You texted her a short, 'thank you!' and turned your phone off, finally meeting Leo's gaze.

"...Alright, I'm convinced. You've got forty minutes of my undivided attention, little boy blue." You couldn't help but smile watching him hoot and holler victoriously. "But if we get into any trouble, I'm counting on you to get me out of it."

"Luckily for you, I am the best when it comes to the ninja-ing in the family." His smirk could not possibly be pulled any higher, and he swatted the ribbons of his mask over his shoulder as faux hair.

"We're gonna have to count on it because I'll be a pretty horrifying ghost. Get me killed and my whole family comes after you, too. The risk is all yours to - "

" - Yeah yeah, that's great let's go!"

He interrupted you! In the middle of your threat for the sake of your very life!

You let out a startled scream as he tugged you along. He broke out into a sprint, leaving you almost flying behind him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" you yelled out.

He didn't look back when he responded to you, "you said only forty minutes! We can't spend all of that time with threats and jabs at each other! Forty minutes with Leonardo is forty minutes of fun!!!"

He was crazy! But, you had to hand it to him, this high-speed running around was kinda fun. He acted as if you two were being chased. And to him, you were; being chased by the hands of a clock, looming over with a bloodthirsty grin ready to slice your held hands apart, tearing you away from him forever.

You let out a laugh: a shrill, joyous giggle that drove Leo crazy. You were excited! Finally, he got you anticipating a day with him!

Okay, maybe not a day - maybe 39 minutes, but he'll take what he can get!

Looking around, he had to be honest with himself. He's not as familiar with the hidden city as he acted like; after all, they only rescued April Mayhem from it maybe two or three weeks ago. All he knew was that the city at least looked exciting.

But again, you two didn't have much time. At the very least, it was not enough time to go looking for the City's Tour Booth and snag a map, so he could only depend on trusting his gut and taking you to wherever he thought would be both safe and exciting.

"We're really cutting it close with the time that we were given, but I think I know the perfect place to take you, mi amiga!" he lied, hand tightly wrapped around yours. You followed in blind faith.

He led you 'downtown', where the street was littered with booths of food, street games, and performers. Each and every creature there were not human - making you feel like the alien out of all of them.

"This is so surreal," you admitted quietly. You were busy staring at the performers while Leo spent his time eagerly staring at your mesmerized reactions.

"Yeah? But it's kind of thrilling, right? Oh my god, wait, you have got to try this," easily distracted, the blue-clad turtle tugged you away from the acts to bring you up to a particular booth from the food vendors.

This booth had what looked to be a hairy, purple egg.... thing. It had a stem on the top indicating (hopefully, you thought) that it was not actually some alien pre-hatchling but instead a fruit or something.

You had an idea of what Leo was about to suggest.

Buying one of the eggs from the vendor was pretty easy for him - for some reason, the Hidden City accepted U.S. currency. You're gonna ignore the multitude of questions you had.

"Eat! Eat! You're gonna LOVE this.... this thing!"

You knew it. You knew he was gonna pull this shit.

"You want me to eat this thing?!" fear poured from your voice in waves. Leo nodded eagerly.

"Yes! Oh just take a biiiite, it's not poison! I swear it tastes like 50 different meals at the same time and you can never describe any single one of them!"

You pulled him away from the vendor in an anxious but polite manner, only so that you could dramatically decline Leo's offer without having to seem rude.

"There is no way I'm gonna eat that! You don't even know what it's called, Leo!"

Leo wasn't looking at you - eyes focused on slicing the 'egg' with his sword instead. (Something that was actually quite humorous to see, if not insanely stress-inducing. This dude has no concern for blade safety!)

"Yeah, good points are being made here, but, I also don't know the names of a lot of human food, too." Licking the excess juices off the odachi, Leo picked a slice from the egg and delicately placed it in your hand with a smirk.

"Try it. Trust me."

"Agh, okay, you've convinced me," you smiled, bringing the fruit up to your face to peer at it.

"Really?!"

"Nope!" and then you threw the slice behind your back. "Fuck you, Leo! I'm not trying to have an anaphylactic shock over egg fruit!"

"That's not gonna happen, I don't even know what that word meansss," he cooed, waving another slice of the gooey, furry egg thing in front of your face, "and besides, on the offhanded hypothetical that something does happen to you, I'm sure Donnie can handle it with his nerdy science stuff. 'Cause he's a nerd."

You frowned, pushing the fruit away with a flat hand. "No thank you, Leo. I'll just take your word for how good it i-"

Leo interrupted you for what felt like the 100th time today by shoving the fruit into your mouth. At first, you wanted to panic. But he was totally right.

Whatever this food was, it was delicious. And Leo had so kindly peeled the furry skin off of this slice so the texture wouldn't make you cringe - oh my gosh, you don't think you've ever enjoyed food as much as this funky little egg.

You wanted to be mad that he totally violated your boundaries, but you were legitimately in euphoria right now.

"Riiiiight? I told you! UGH, SO GOOD!" He groaned satisfactorily, taking a bit out of another slice himself. "Nothing like mystic food, seriously! Except... maybe pizza."

Mouth still full and hands grabbing for more slices, you laughed in agreement. These dudes love their pizza, huh?

Honestly, seeing Leo smile at you the way he was right now made your stomach flip. And not even in a romantic kind of way, you know? You were simply over the moon with how much fun you two were having. And in a mystic city?

Your old, shitty friend group couldn't top this feat even if they tried! You hit the absolute jackpot with friends this time.

[New Messages.]

"Gotta say, Leo, you're a bit overzealous." You'd finally finished the fruit together, and although it was only a few slices it felt as if you ate a three-course meal. Now you simply sat at a bench watching as fireworks danced in the streets.

Like literally, in the streets. Right by passersby. You chased some with Leo only a few moments before. He turned to you with a curious glint in his eye.

"Me? Overzealous? Nah, I think you mean I'm just eager for fun," he corrected you with a teasing tone, but your words actually shook him a bit. He hoped he wasn't scaring you away.

"....I think I was right," you joked, "all the same - I'm kinda happy you pushed me to chill down here for a bit. You were right, I had no idea what I was missing."

"Ah yes, right, as always," he bragged. His eyes closed and a smile grew on his face that showed off his canines. You shoved him lightly.

"Whatever. You're just lucky I let you pass the forty-minute mark," you joked.

As soon as the words left your mouth, Leo's eyes widened back up. He turned to you curiously but then started to chuckle, "ohoho, you were totally selling me short! How long has it been since then?"

You looked down at your phone. "Hmm... looks like I gave you an extra 30 minutes by now," that meant 20 minutes left till you're home.

"Are you serious? We've been here over an hour and I didn't even realize - but you realized! If I didn't know any better I'd say you actually like my company, amigo!" he poked at your stomach, pulling another laugh out of your lips.

"Nah, I think I'd have had a lot more fun with the others," you mocked. He replied with an 'oh I'm sure,' but you both continued to wildly grin.

"But really, I only have 20 minutes left till my mom expects me to be home. You think you can get that portal going yet?"

"Why of course I can," he put on an Old English accent, bowing with a wave of his sword before turning away from you.

Bringing his mystic odachi to his chest, he let a deep breath in and out to soothe his quaking nerves. Then, he turned back to you, arms gestured outward as he confidently posed.

"Watch and be amazed!" he announced, "I, Leo the great, will take you and me back to the lair in three, two...!"

Slicing a cut through the air, he caught the 'one' in his lips as he choked. There was definitely a portal.

But it was not at the lair.

The portal looked like a window to the leaning tower of Pisa.

".......Aheh. Funny." Although a bit frazzled you let yourself believe that he was probably teasing you again. You hoped he was teasing you.

Sweat dripping down Leo's head, he turned to you anxiously. "Only joking, okay, real thing real thing," and sliced again.

.....

"Leonardo," you cautiously started, staring through Portal #2, "I really need to get home. Be serious now, I don't remember the lair being in Egypt."

"Oh yeah, don't worry don't worryyy, sometimes this thing just likes to be a little funny, gimme a second," he mumbled out the last part of his sentence in a frustrated tone, vigorously shaking the odachi as if it was going to pour out portals like a salt shaker.

"I'm going to trust you for three more minutes before I'm calling Donnie for help," you sighed. That sent him into a panic.

"No no no no no, there's no need for that!" he anxiously stammered, "I've got you, ____! You don't need some turtle taxi when you've got me!" And it was going so well! What went wrong? Come on, you stupid little sword, make the portal!!!

"I guess all I can do is wait and see," you mumbled. You picked at the black polish on your nails and gnawed on your cheek, nervously watching as Leonardo clearly struggled to make a correct portal.

"Ugh! This is so weird! It's like my sword wants me to break it," okay, now he was threatening his own weapon to comply. Suddenly, you were reminded of how peculiar your choice of friends was.

With another frustrated groan, Leo threw his hands in the air. "Fine!" He sighed, "I guess we can call Donnie. But I'll get this thing to work and when I do we're so gonna have a better Leo and ____ day like we DESERVE!"

Another portal - this time one that finally looked familiar..... Too familiar....

'That place looks a lot like.... no, it is! That's my street!'

"Leo!" you bounced out of your seat, jolting the boy out of his tantrum. "That's it! That's my street! How did you know?!"

Leo's stare was blank - if anything, maybe baffled. "....Huh?!" his eyes flickered to the portal and his sword with lightning speed.

"No way, for real?"

"What do you mean for real? You made the portal, didn't you!"

"N- Yeah! I totally did, yup, ahuh! See? What did I tell you, I totally had it covered!" quickly pulling a confident facade, Leo puffed out his chest with a heroic laugh.

You cheered alongside him without thinking of the implications. And when you did, a creeped-out shiver went up your spine.

"...Wait... so then, does that mean you and Donnie found out where I lived?!"

Leo's face paled. "We didn't!"

'Shit, what should you say, Leon?!'

"I lied!"

'Way to go.'

"Yeah, I actually had no idea. Maybe the sword knew? It's mystic, mystic swords can do that.... I think," he shrugged. "But we can ignore it because at least you're successfully home! Yippee!!!"

Panic was seen throughout every pore of Leonardo's reptilian body. You, although still very put off, slowly agreed nonetheless. "Yeeeah.... Yippee."

Deciding that you had suffered enough craziness today, you let out a heavy sigh. "Well, I guess I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Or maybe next week. After all the craziness I've had to go through in the span of a few hours, I might go into a coma," you spoke as you walked through the portal.

Looking back at Leonardo still standing in the mystic city, you gave him a tired wave. "I'll text you guys that I made it home, okay? You do the same for me, yeah?"

His sword lay limp next to his leg as he just stared at you. Only for a second though, because after he processed the night really did end for you and him, he smiled softly. "....'Kay. Don't sleep for too long though, I'll be so bored." His playful attitude returned.

You laughed, "I'll try, homie," and turned away, heading down the street as the portal closed.

And then it was just Leo left, watching the Hidden City move on by while he stood still......

".....Crap!"

'Seriously, Leo?! Lying to their face? ADMITTING TO IT? YOU LOOKED LIKE SUCH A DOOFUS!'

"UuuUuuUuUuGHGHHGHG I NEED TO SLEEP THIS DAY OUT OF MY MIND!" Leon pulled at his face and ferociously shook his head, hoping that the humiliating scenes poured out from his brain and left him alone.

He tried for another portal. This time, it worked in one go. And when he stepped through the blue wisps to the lounge room of the lair, he was greeted by three brothers and an intensely worried April.

"Leo!" they all exclaimed.

He moved past them, trying to head to his room without a single word uttered. But they persisted.

"Leo, where's ____?! Are they okay?" Mikey asked, pulling Leo by the arm.

He groaned, "they're fineee, I took them home," was all he said. Or I guess, wanted to say. They kept going.

"You were gone for almost two hours, what have you been doing? We have school in the morning!" It was April's turn to interrogate him, and her foot tapped against the floor as she waited for an explanation.

"They said I could take them to walk around the Hidden City, all we did was eat and hang out! Sheesh, they were the ones that agreed to it!"

"You're not getting the point, Leo!" of course it was Raph that started to lecture him once more. Leo quickly grew irritated as the oldest brother blocked him from entering the subway.

With his classic, crossed-arms, furrow-browed look, Raph began again. "You can't just kidnap someone just because you don't want them to leave! They didn't intend to spend another two hours hanging out, they wanted to go!"

Guilt tugged at Leo's chest, face reddening again as he felt another oncoming wave of humiliation. He hadn't even told Raph that you were initially against the idea, and he still found a way to be in the right.

It made Leo seethe. "Whatever, they wanted to have fun, and they had fun! You're not the only one that read the group chat!" He pushed past Raph as fast as he could, more than ready to leave the conversation and just pass out on his couch.

He ignored the small 'there's a group chat?' he heard from April and headed down the stairs, leaving the three brothers and human friend to watch his exit with equal, dumbfounded expressions.

April only looked up at the rest of the three of them.

"....Well, uh..." the air was tense and awkward, making her shuffle her feet anxiously. "I think I'm gonna head out, too. School night, as I said," she quietly reasoned. She said her goodbyes to the three turtles and they walked her to the ladder, watching as she exited the lair safely.

Then, the three brothers turned to each other.

"Raise your hand if you feel bad for ___ for having to endure all of us," Donatello finally broke the silence, lifting his hand and watching his two brothers do the same.

"Oh good, I'm not the only one."

Mikey felt his phone vibrate, and he pulled it out to find you had left a message in the group chat, indicating you made it home safely.

Reading the messages, a giant grin grew on his face.

"If they can handle us," Mikey shoved his phone in front of his brothers' faces - inches away from literally decking either of the two as he grinned mischievously, "I'm sure I make it worth their while! I'm sooo their favorite! Just watch, they're gonna be coming to the lair just to see ME!"

Donnie shook his head, and Raph snatched the phone away from his smallest sibling. "Highly unlikely, my oblivious younger brother! They were so impressed by my amazing tech skills, they're gonna be over the moon when I give them a tour of my lab!" he threw a jab at Mikey and they quickly began to roughhouse.

Raph chided the two, "no way! You should've seen how we connected! We're gonna be attached to the hip before you guys even know it!" and jumped into the fight, ignoring Leon's screams for them to shut up and let him sleep.

And though they spent the rest of the night horseplaying, all of them could agree to at least one thing:

They couldn't wait to talk to you tomorrow.

Liminal Space Update!

Howdy folks, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted stuff about turtles so I figured I’d give you some previews of stuff I’ve been working on.

All in all, a bunch of stuff is in the works. Currently, I’m focusing on the animatic mentioned though if it isn’t obvious, I do tend to jump from one thing to another. I don’t really have a strict timeline on when everything shown is going to get finished but I like to think previews are always nice.

Hope you have a great day, you beautiful people.

Liminal Space! Masterpost

Hi! I don’t know if you’re taking oneshot requests right now, but I have a suggestion for a Leo x Reader one:

The reader has long hair and always keeps it up in ponytails or braids due to low self esteem, and Leo is naturally curious about what they would look like with their hair down. During a mission, he and the reader go hide from a villain, and he notices that the reader’s hair is all let down. He thinks they look beautiful, and after talking for a bit, he says “You should keep your hair down, it looks better that way.”

That’s all I could come up with.

AN: I'm back baby! I'm alive! I am writing! I am working on the Anastasia AU and requests! I wanna draw *cries* thank you guys for being patient for me and the nice messages throughout my terrible burnout :')

Finally getting back to the asks and is one for Skittles! <3 I hope you like it!

Ponytail

Pairing: Rise!Leo x GN! reader (No use of Y/N)

Type: Oneshot

Summary: Leo was touchy with you, but he only seems to realize when he starts braiding your hair.

Warnings: None, reader has long hair.

MASTERLIST

You felt your throat burn with your heavy breathing while trying to reach the lair as fast as possible, the moment you caught sight of the manhole you jumped in, thankfully not hurting yourself in the process, and just sprinting at full speed the moment your feet touched the ground.

You’d gotten an emergency message from Leo just a couple of minutes earlier, telling you to get to the lair ASAP, you were silently grateful you hadn’t been too far from the lair, but the fact that Leo hadn’t just opened a portal for you to go through just made you feel like the emergency might be just that much worse; your heart sank just thinking about Leo being too busy fighting to create a portal for you.

Your thoughts made your body go that much faster, soon enough you saw the light of the lair’s entrance, you slowed down, trying to hear anything that might be happening inside but you were greeted with silence, worried at this you walked in, your eyes searching wildly until they collided with Raph’s.

“Oh, hey! You made it, come on!” Raph smiled at you contently while you tried to catch your breath; you noticed with a frown that he was holding a bowl of popcorn, the cogs started turning in your mind, making you bristle while you followed Raph deeper into the lair, and just as you thought: The other brothers, including Leo, were all hanging out calmly in the projection room, surrounded by snacks and laughter.

Leo caught sight of you from the corner of his eyes, you were about to berate him, angry at him for making his message so cryptic and scary when you noticed an innocent happy beam take place in his face at seeing you, he immediately jumped off the back of the couch, striding towards you and making your words get stuck in your throat with that one look.

Sometimes, once you were alone back in your own room, you’d think of these moments and curse yourself for giving in so easily to him, right at this moment however you were being pulled towards the couch by his hand and your thoughts were too scrambled between his expression, touch, and smile.

“You would never believe it, we were at Marcus Moncrief’s apartment after you know, doing us, being heroic and all that,” Leo startled rambling to you, practically vibrating with excitement “And he gave US, his biggest fans of course, a copy of the lost episode from the memories of Jupiter Jim’s saga! The 32nd episode of the eleventh trilogy! The limited edition one that was taken out of the market.”

You were sat on the couch with Leo at your side moving his arms wildly and sitting with his legs right against yours as he explained how important the movie was to the saga and how it would solve so many inconsistencies that happened later on, your anger left your body, replaced by that warm feeling that Leo brought you when he wanted to include you in things like these, his interests, his life.

Soon you were all squeezed up comfortably around the room as the movie began, it was all fine until Donnie seemed to startle and look around the room.

“Uh, does anyone else hear a beeping noise?” Donnie asked and everyone immediately perked up, trying to listen to anything.

You finally heard what Donnie was talking about, a beeping becoming stronger and suddenly Leo was pushing you to the floor behind the couch, a second later the tape exploded, and a maniacal laugh could be heard in the sewer tunnels.

“That’s right Jupiter Jim! You cannot hide from me any longer! I have been waiting so long for you to activate the tracking system in the tape!” The voice you didn’t recognize at all yelled and Leo groaned loudly.

“Awh, come on! Why does everything have to be some mortal trap?!” He yelled standing up and taking his swords out to the villain whom you think you’ve seen before on one of Leo’s infodumps of the series.

A full battle broke out in the lair until someone decided it would be way better to avoid the destruction of their home by guiding the villain away into the sewer tunnels while he kept attacking and asking where Jupiter Jim was.

“I think you need to stop visiting that old actor!” You exclaimed while trying to avoid a laser, this guy had lasers!

“I mean it’s not his fault—Look out!” Leo stopped his phrase to pull you away from danger once again, everyone spread out and Leo created a portal, taking your hand and pulling the both of you through it fast before the villain could reach you.

A laser beam went in through the portal alongside you but didn’t hit you by mere chance, Leo and you tried to recover your breaths, you were now far deeper in the sewers, completely quiet except for the sound of running water and your panting.

“We should really go back to look for the guys,” you said trying to take a look from the end of the tunnel, but Leo pulled you back by the hand which was still enveloped by his.

“No, look, Donnie knows the layout better than anyone, he’ll be activating all sorts of traps for this guy to fall into, Raph and Mikey will surely stick together, and bam! He’ll be gone before we know it!” Leo dismissed easily, his lazy smirk returning to his face while he leaned back against the wall, his hand finally letting go of yours “Let’s just wait it out and hide here for now instead of getting messy” Leo finished with a shrug.

A part of you was telling you to go help the guys, but the other one that trusted Leo’s impeccable intuition (though you would never tell him that) told you to hide there instead of attracting the attention of a crazy laser-happy villain with an obsession for a sci-fi actor.

You sighed and crossed your arms in front of you, resting your back on the wall right next to Leo, but you felt a soft snap on the back of your head and suddenly your hair was falling around your shoulders, quickly reaching back with your hands you felt the hair tie you had been using to hold up your ponytail falling into them, you took it to see it had been singed slightly, probably by the last laser that had followed you through the portal, you huffed at it and reached back to check your hair and make sure it hadn’t been singed with the tie.

The whole time you checked for it Leo had been strangely quiet, your eyes looked up to check on him and you caught him staring at your hair with a wistful expression, you tilted your head sideways and when he noticed his expression was back to his lazy grin, though a bit of color laced his cheeks.

“Well would you look at that, finally got rid of that hairband and it only took some deathly lasers to do so.”

As he teased you rolled your eyes, letting go of your hair as you made sure it hadn’t been too damaged.

“You could have just asked me to remove it if you hated it so much you know?” You chuckled “Though maybe I wouldn’t have removed it, just to spite you.”

Leo stuck out his tongue at you and took a strand of your hair between his fingers “Ah come on, it’s fine I was just curious about how it would look; you wear it up religiously, can’t blame me for wanting to find out how it looks down”

You shrugged, his hand never once stopping his trail over your hair, but you didn’t mind, Leo had been getting touchier with you, it was just an extension of that “It’s more comfortable, it doesn’t get in the way like that.”

Leo hummed in response, but he looked a bit absent minded, his other hand reaching up, like he was trying to braid your hair clumsily “You should keep your hair down, it looks better that way.”

The compliment wasn’t surrounded by flowery details, dramatic manners or his usual smirk, just a couple sincere words while his hand traveled lazily through your locks, he looked so calm as he said it it flustered you slightly, and you must have reacted weirdly because suddenly the hands on your hair stopped and Leo looked you in the eyes with his own wide open before he leaned back against the wall again chuckling awkwardly.

“Oh, the woes of being bald, I have to live vicariously through you, so you need to let your hair down for me!” He expressed to make light of everything, but his cheeks had darkened, and his gaze flittered about tensely without going back to you.

You chuckled beside him, seemingly calming him down, you were so lost in thought neither of you reacted to the sounds of yelling coming your way from down the tunnels.

Maybe you would wear your hair down more frequently.

Taco Crimes

Donnie would absolutely blow a fuse if someone ruined their books with how sacred he was to that mint condition comic, and I’m sure Mikey thinks cooking is an art. Cross either of them and it’s hell to pay!

I read a lot of book series that had been handed down to me by my siblings, but you could really tell whose they were before based on their condition. One sibling left foodstains and dog ears, another left spine breaks and ripped paperbacks, and the final would threaten my life if I so much as dented a page. Such is life with shared things

I guess you could say those books were well loved, for better or for worse lol

hello👋😊 can i ask you for a rottmnt headcanon of leo and donnie with a female partner who keeps her organs in vases like cleo de nile from g3 and has to keep them close to her to keep her body stable.

sorry if it sounds weird :<

Donnie and Leo x Undead!Fem!Reader Headcanons

Pairing: Rise!Donnie x Fem!Reader, Rise!Leo x Fem!Reader

Summary: How Donnie and Leo would react to their Fem!S/O keeping their organs in a jar

Warnings: Mentions of death, possible gore? mentions of organs

Type: Romantic ❤️

A/N: While this is technically a female reader, it can also be read as a gender neutral reader. I also went a little overboard with Leo, and I gave the reader a bit of backstory to go along with the headcanons. Hope you enjoy <3

Headcanons start below cut

Rise of the TMNT Masterlist

Main Masterlist

Rise!Donnie x Reader

Donnie is very fascinated by you!

He finds it very interesting how you can survive without you organs inside of your body, and will run dozens of experiments on you (with your permission ... mostly)

However, he prefers that you keep them in the jars since he can become easily grossed out

Donnie can be very attentive when he wants to be, and is always very hyper aware of your health and bodily stability at all times

He'd make sure that you're never too far away from your organs because your wellbeing is very important to him :)

He'd likely create some sort of deceive that allows for your organs to be near you at all times so your body remains stables

He would also have alerts set up on his phone so that he would be notified every time you body starts to become unstable

If you ever get too far away from your organs, he would notice right away and get you back to them as quickly as possible

You're more than likely some type of mummy yokai, so the two of you would probably spend a lot of time in the hidden city

Since you're an undead, you don't have the disadvantages of human mortality

This makes you a lot more durable than a normal human, so you often go on missions with the boys to protect the city

Even though Donnie can get a bit grossed out at times, he's more so interested in learning about you and how you work

Rise!Leo x Reader

Takes place mostly during season 1 episode 7

Like a traditional mummy, you were originally human

You met the turtles through your childhood best friend, and quickly became close friends with the boys (especially Leo)

After a few months of hanging out with the boys, you often felt useless and left out when the turtles and April would head out on missions

Once you started dating, Leo was adamant that you stayed in the lair with Splinter so you wouldn't get hurt

However, you were confident abilities (you had been training with the boys for the past few months) and were sure you could help, regardless of what Leo thought

On their latest mission, the boys planned on eliminating the rest of the oozesquitos plaguing New York

After the boys left the lair, you distracted Splinter with his favorite television show and sneak out after them

Once you snuck out of the lair, you were able to use the tracking app that Donnie had installed in your phone in order to track them down at some hotel in the middle of the city

Once you got there, you caught up to them inside of Big Mama's office

"What are you doing here (Y/N)? I told you to stay home with Splinter. This place is way to dangerous!" Leo asked urgently

Before you could explain yourself to your boyfriend, Big Mama had quickly captured all five of you in her webs, and you ended up being tied together with Leo

After Baron Draxum had arrived and stolen back his oozesquitos, you and the boys were able to free yourselves from Big Mama's webs using the spikes on Raph's shell

After their escape, Leo used his mystic swords to create a portal to the roof to confront Draxum

As Leo and Raph jump through the portal, you quickly follow after them to support them in their fight with Draxum

As the three of you were on the roof with Draxum, you quickly started passing the jar of oozesquitos to one another in an attempt to avoid Draxum's mystic vines

However, you were quickly at a stalemate as you and Raph had the oozesquitos, while Draxum had Leo in his grasp, hanging over the edge of the building

"Let my boyfriend go!" you yelled at Draxum, getting into a defensive stance

Even though you weren't the strongest fighter, you couldn't just stand there and watch when Leo's life was on the line

After Draxum dropped Leo, you could only watch helplessly as Raph activated his mystic powers and dove after him

Now, you were stuck on the roof with Draxum by yourself

Draxum easily overpowered you, and quickly captured the jar of oozesquitos with his vines

When he was finally back in control of the oozesquitos, Draxum ordered them to fly out to the city and mutate the humes, the closest one to them being you

As you were bitten by the oozesquito, you felt your body begin to change

You suddenly felt very hollow inside, like something was missing from your body

Several bandages also appeared along your body, covering large sections of your skin

Along with your mutation, several small jars appeared

Upon inspection, you realized that your organs had been stored inside of them

Weeks after the incident occurs, you became more adjusted with your new form

Donnie had run countless experiments on you since your mutation, and he quickly discovered that you must stay close to your organs at all time, or else your body would become highly unstable

As the family medic, Leo is very vigilant about the location of your organs

He had panicked several times when you passed out after accidentally being too far away from your heart

Due to being permanently undead, you no longer had to worry about human mortality

After you became more comfortable with your new body, Leo was more agreeable to your instance on coming on missions with him and his brothers, although he was still very overprotective of you

Whether you're hanging out together in the lair, or out on a mission, he always makes sure that you're never to far away from your organs

Your safety is always his number one priority
