Mikey: I'm finally at Manilla. Mikey: Damn it's hot outside. Mikey: Izana will probably certainly be mad that i didn't tell him where i'm gone but it was necessary for my plan Mikey: And i don't care what he thinks. He spends too much time with this fucker of Kisaki anyway. Mikey: Now i just have to wait Takemitchy here! Mikey: Mikey: wait, will the fact i sent this photo of us, considering that everyone is dead on it except us and that he'll certainly understand that i'm the one who killed all the others, will make him think he'll the next to be killed and will absolutly terrorise him? Mikey: And that he will not come, and rather ask for the police's protection? Mikey: Mikey: nah =) Mikey: i guess i'll wait in this abandonned building until my crybaby come!
Tbf Mikey was completely right and probably knew Takemichi was going to do the most unsafe option and not tell the police because Takemichi has a track record of doing rather risky things and walking straight into danger.

Mikey's plan isn't great but it definitely seems a little better when you remember who he's using it on.

Tarot readings with the lads!
Tumblr media
Leo
You've somehow convinced him to let you do a tarot reading for him
you're still not sure how, maybe the mixture of puppy dog eyes and veiled threats combined?
anyways, you ask him what question he has
"I want to know how to be a better leader"
but that isn't *fun* so you pick a different one for him
you shuffle the cards with your intention of "What is Leo lacking that he should focus on more right now?"
you pull out the 6 of cups
Leo looks at you like "Is that good?"
you explain the card
"You see the way they're handing the cup to a child? This card is all about revisiting the past, childhood memories and innocence. It's about simple joys and pleasures also cups represents the element of water, to be free flowing and not so confined"
"And this helps me be a better leader how...?"
you smile and tell him that's not what you asked
"Leo, the cards are telling you to relax a little, spend some time with yourself and not so much worrying about the fate of the world. Be present, find that child in you who wants to do dumb, fun shit!"
he doesn't say anything but he thinks on it
"Anyway the next card was temperance so that's basically saying if you don't listen to me you're never gonna find balance...."
Tumblr media
Raph
Yeah there was no way he was going to let you do a reading
you had to trick him into sitting down but once he saw the cards he tried to leave
you swayed him and his only request was "Just don't ask when I'm gonna die or some shit, ok?"
instead you do a reality check for him and you pull out 3 cards
The star, 4 of swords and 5 of wands reversed
"oh, baby.." you start
he's so worried
frantically asking what any of that means, so you break it down for him
"the star's message is: have faith. Hope, faith and purpose basically. You need to understand that you're doing alright, no matter how much you beat yourself up. 4 of swords is about rest and relaxation, taking a break. You work yourself too hard out on patrol, then come back here and hit the gym, then you barely sleep and do it all over again. You;re burning yourself out. Finally, 5 of wands. Reversed it talks about inner conflict, self doubt and tension. Whatever you're battling with, you need to face it and let it out"
"well shit, I didn't expect your cards to fucking call me out like that..."
you're just like "It's what they do..."
he opens up to you a little more after that and takes a bit more time for himself.
Who would have though Raph's healing journey woulod begin with a witch telling him to get his shit together?
Tumblr media
Mikey
He's been begging you for weeks to pull some cards for him
and he wants to know everything!
like everything, even the scary stuff
you finally give in and he can barely sit still he's so pumped when you pull the cards out
you ask what energy he brings into other's lives
the lovers, page of wands and 6 of swords
"what does it mean?!"
"well, the lovers is obvious. You bring a lot of love to the people in your life. You're the heart of your brother's. That's self explanatory"
"Awh, your cards like me" he's getting cocky now
"the page of wands is about being a free spirit, inspiration, ideas and limitless potential. Basically you keep everyone entertained with your never stopping pin balls machine of a brain"
"I am the ideas man of my brothers"
you let that one slide, no need to remind him of the time his "idea" to defeat the foot clan involved gummy worms....he was thinking with his stomach.
"And the 6 of swords is about transition and change, a right of passage, release like releasing baggage. I think this one's saying you haven't met your full potential of how you can help people yet, but you are destined to help people"
"wow. Really? Damn you're good"
you take the compliment, you are good at this.
Tumblr media
Donnie
it's not that Donnie doesn't want a reading or find it interesting
it's that he just doesn't believe you can tell him anything new...
so you pull out a few cards on his behalf anyways
just to tell him a little more about himself that he doesn't realise
10 of wands reversed, strength and 3 of swords reversed
you follow him around for like 10 minutes after explaining the cards
while he's doing the dishes you're all "so the 10 of wands reversed is about doing it all and carrying a burden that you need to release it can also be defined as stubbornness!Come on, Donnie, that's so you. When you aren't working on whatever Leo gave you in the lab you;re spotting Raph in the gym or you're indulging Mikey is one of his fantasies, you need to stop carrying your brothers wants with you and live for you!"
He's trying to get his bunsen burner to work and you talk about "strength is basically the message believe in yourself.but it's also about compassion. You have so much of that that you never give to yourself!"
finally he turns to face you "And the last card?"
"3 of swords reversed is the most important. It's about negative self talk and releasing pain and forgiving yourself. I know you think you hide it well, but I can tell you beat yourself up over every little thing. You need to stop that"
He takes a minute to think
"Ok, maybe there is something to these cards, or maybe you're just interpreting them that way because you know me. Either way...Thank you. This was helpful"

I want to know all the things about your KH AU. Please just tell me things, because I love it.
oh Kingdom Hearts AU, how i have neglected you…. UnU what can I say about KH AU hhhmm (aside from having Raph's ref sheet half done and then getting distracted by a million other things lol) let's see........
Donnie loses his heart at some point. Not because of a Heartless or other enemy, but because he pushes himself too hard and too far.
He does create a Heartless. I don't know what kind of Nobody he leaves behind
The rest of the family do end up finding--and fighting--Donnie's Heartless. How do they know it's Donnie's? Well, aside from Mikey being able to sense Donnie's Heart, buried and smothered in Darkness, there's a certain...Donatello flavor to the way the Heartless looks.
I have not finished designing the Donnie Heartless.
How do they get Donnie back? I dunno. Maybe it involves the piece of his Heart he left with Shelldon.
What's in the half of Donnie's lab that no one ever gets to see? That's a secret. For now.
Casey's Future Leo only had one Keyblade and it wasn't Arc Hope, so Future Leo didn't have portals. In fact, Future Leo's Keyblade didn't seem like it fit him at all. A heavy hitter with a reverse grip didn't really fit his fighting style. But he made it work.
Future Mikey was so powerful that his Keyblade kind of just...floated around him, like an extension of himself. He wielded it kind of like how Sora's Final Form uses Keyblades in KH2.
Casey Junior gets a shock when he sees the present day Keyblades. And an even bigger one when Leo portals. And then the biggest one when Leo gains Synch Blade and dual Keyblades.
I love the design of Before the Fall so damn much. But I don't think it fits Leo very well overall. I think after the Krang, the whole thing is weighing heavily on his Heart and he can't let it go. So while he has a lot more faith in his family (After the Rise), he's struggling with keeping that faith in himself. It's letting doubt and Darkness creep into his Heart and it's going to take some work and character development for him to overcome this. Before the Fall is a little too heavy with Darkness for him.
When Leo DOES find himself in a better place, Before the Fall will change. To what? I haven't decided yet. I just don't think Leo should be forced to carry a burden like that Keyblade. He deserves something better.
April's Keyblade is the only one I haven't figured out a name for yet.
In the silly TMNT AU Competition comic I did, Donnie mentions a "Worlds We Are Banned From" list. This is a real list. They have been forbidden from returning to some worlds for...reasons. The reasons may or may not be because of shit they've done.
Raph and Leo sort of co-lead the group, but Raph still acts as the big brother most of the time, trying to wrangle his siblings into behaving. Except when he's acting out too, and then it's April's job.
April getting a Keyblade was an accident. Donnie accidentally did it when they were little.
What's Draxum doing in this AU? Why did he make the turtles? What are the Foot Clan doing? How does The Shredder work? Fuck if I know. What, you think I planned this or something?
Yes, there is magic that alters their appearance depending on what kind of world they land on. Most of the time, it's like a surface level glamour that only affects the eyes of the inhabitants (this is my headcanon as to why no questions why a duck and a dog are following Sora around 90% of the time, they look human on worlds with humans). There have been a few worlds where they've had to deal with physical transformations. Suffice it to say that those have been an absolute riot for everyone.
And...that's all I got. For now anyway. There is still some stuff I'm working on, but it's sort of taken a back seat to everything else...

Kazutora really dislikes when people say he'll always be a part of Toman, both Valhalla era and in his future verse.
When he's younger, it provokes him into a violent fit of rage. He wants nothing to do with Toman. I don't think he ever had that connection with Toman despite Baji having the idea to do so for Kazutora. But Kazutora never asked for anyone to help with his problems with Black Dragon. He also never seemed to really find his place other than besides Baji, although he's always cool with Pah and seems decent at least with Draken. ( Enough to answer a phone call and meet up with him even as enemies. ) Mitsuya's always been icy for whatever reason and Kazutora didn't like Mikey for a good while there. So he could enjoy some times, sure, but it wasn't his gang. They weren't his friends per se. And the situation with Junpeke also destroyed his faith in friendships other than Baji. So when he gets out of juvie, all he wants to do is have that chapter sealed and shut. He burned his uniform that night. Toman is just an enemy in his mind. He participates in those hunting down Toman members and beating them / burning the outfits. Like he said " Don't stop if they can still move. " He's not Toman. He doesn't WANT to be affiliated with it.
In his future verses, it causes discomfort rather than the fury of his youth. In some ways, his mindset hasn't change. Kazutora never really bought into the whole 'always a part of Toman' bit because he never really felt he fit in to begin with even before everything went bad. And he actually spent more time as a member of Valhalla than Toman, he connected better in Valhalla than he did with Toman. So in the future when/if someone says it, it feels awkward and uncomfortable. Other than Bad Toman for obvious reasons. But Bonten? It causes a lot of discomfort and he'll generally just try to push the conversation on or look away or anything other than directly responding it. Because his history with Toman isnt good. Because he missed out on the years everyone else did things and grew. He's not a part of that. Valhalla was always the gang that felt more like his than anything else. ( And his white jacket in that timeline is suspiciously similar to Valhalla's, all im saying. )
In his other AUs for the future though, it DOES provoke a mix between youthful rage and older discomfort depending on the particular one.
All in all, saying he's a part of Toman really just does provoke negative or uncomfortable emotions at best with Kazutora.

What do you think about Kakucho's relationship with Takemichi? We didn't say a lot, and it's a shame =(
Tumblr media
I hope it’s okay to combine these two asks because it’s about the same topic!
KakuMichi (I’m using this shipname in the platonic sense here) is ruining me!! Not their friendship itself, but what it impiles about Kakucho. On one hand, I adore that Kakucho gets to be himself when Takemichi’s around, but when I sit down to think about it, it made me realise that Kakucho’s life is even sadder / more tragic than it is...? 🫠
Nonetheless, all things considered I do enjoy KakuMichi (even though I sometimes think it is kinda played to glorify Takemichi’s shounen-protag-influence. NO hate to Takemichi here!)
Again, incoherent rant ahead because it’s about Kakucho. Slight spoilers for the Final Arc too (up till 255).
Throughout his life, even after his tragic accident, Kakucho’s been holding Takemichi in high regard (if not one of the highest). Even when his allegiance is with other gangs / people, he respects Takemichi a great deal.
During the Tenjiku Arc, Kakucho immediately trusted Takemichi with the favour of stopping Kisaki / saving Izana, even though they’ve JUST been reunited (since they last saw each other at 7-8 years old). I suppose Kakucho’s heard about Toman and Takemichi’s feats before that, which probably assured him that Takemichi is still the same ‘hero’ he was when they were kids, but still, it’s got to take a lot of faith to believe that your childhood friend (who you haven’t seen in 6-ish years) is capable of saving your most important person.
During the Three Deities Arc, Kakucho was adamant about recruiting Takemichi for Rokuhara Tandai. At this point, he’s lost Izana, the purpose of his life, and coerced into serving a tyrant who he probably really disliked / disagreed with. I think the only thing he was hopeful about after Tenjiku was fighting alongside or being with Takemichi. 
During the KanToMan Fight, Kakucho was reluctant to go against Takemichi and expressed that he wasn’t fighting for Mikey but Takemichi (in the sense that he’s valuing the fight above Mikey’s agenda). He also readily trusted Takemichi’s words about his vision / Sanzu’s plan to kill everyone, which would’ve sounded totally bonkers. He also had no hesitation nor questions about forming an alliance with Takemichi lmao. 
We weren’t shown how close KakuMichi were in their childhood (i.e. at the level of besties, schoolmates or simply playmates), but they at least agreed with each other’s views and played a lot together. Nonetheless, they hung out enough for Kakucho to believe in Takemichi’s goodness, which he sustains throughout his life. (Like c’mon Kaku, what if Takemichi grew up to be a total scumbag? People change and you were KIDS. Even you acknowledged this!!) 
It’s bittersweet because it means that his relationship with Takemichi is one of the few positive things in his life, or that Takemichi is the only person who Kakucho can entrust himself to.
Even after meeting many people and cycling through two gangs, Kakucho can only place his hopes in someone who he rarely sees / keeps in contact with (I’m assuming this because we don’t see them interacting outside of gang clashes). Sure, he’s hung out a lot with the S-62, but he probably didn’t agree with their ways and morals. Perhaps he cared for them and had good times with them, but I’m not sure if they were ever as important to him. It really seemed that since Izana’s death, the only time that Kakucho’s been happy or enjoying himself is when he’s fighting Takemichi at the train tracks. 
Like, I’m glad that Kakucho has such a person in Takemichi, but sad because it means he hasn’t really met many good people in his life... 
(On this note: Post-Tenjiku Kakucho reminds me of a rōnin, or a samurai who’s lost his master and is wandering the lands with nowhere to belong to. Idk if Wakui had this thought in mind when designing Kakucho, but it certainly evokes such a thought!)
Anyhow, I feel that KakuMichi’s friendship is special and precious in the sense that they are bosom friends who understand one another, but they also accept that they’ve got their own lives to lead and are thus moving forwards in parallel. You know what I mean? This is also bittersweet in its own way.
AND THE SECOND ANON BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT! How was Kakucho feeling when Takemichi was beaten half to death by Mikey right in front of him?! I’m hoping that Kakucho was still knocked out cold when it happened, to save him from all the emotional turmoil.
But if he was already conscious then, I imagine that Kakucho’s first reaction would be shock (like everyone else), but mostly at Mikey’s savagery and the fact that South could be beaten and killed. Like what you said, he must’ve also felt helpless and was probably praying that someone would stop Mikey from killing Takemichi (because he physically couldn’t). Yet at the same time, I think he might’ve a gut feeling that it’s not the end of Takemichi, like a ‘you won’t die in a place like this, not like that’ kinda thing, y’know? Which probably explains why his priorities are about South when he’s fleeing the scene with Ran instead of Takemichi.
All this talk about KakuMichi’s got me wondering... WHAT ABOUT KAKUMICHI IN THE FUTURE?! How would their relationship be like? I’m speaking about all timelines btw, from the original TL where Takemichi’s a loser, all the way to Bonten. Takemichi probably didn’t know about Kakucho’s membership in Bonten considering how veiled in secrecy Bonten was. Did he think about looking Kakucho up? Did he think about inviting him to his wedding? Did Kakucho still think of Takemichi as his hero, even after becoming Number 3 in Japan’s worst criminal organization? Would Kakucho have been disappointed if he ran into Takemichi in his loser timeline?
I think if I go any further I’ll turn delirious, so I’m just gonna end this post with all these questions, alright? 🫠

Summary: Harper Kelly is an American college senior studying abroad. Looking for adventure and fighting against the clock of graduating, she finds herself meeting a mysterious and handsome boy from London.
Pairing: Henry Cavill x OFC
Rating: PG-13, language
Word Count: <800
A/N: When writing this a/u, I originally had Will in mind, but then also Mikey. Eventually it morphed into Henry, but if he went to Uni and was never famous. So all three personalities I guess lol. We'll see how this goes.
Tags: @romereadingshop
**************************************
Prologue
Spring Break, the week before it really. That’s when it all started. Or ended. I can’t tell which it is it these days. Living the semester abroad in the UK was entirely a different mindset. Besides just trying to understand the pub menu’s, the slang (what exactly is a bollock), adjusting to the metric system was a mindfuck.
Being at Uni was all it hyped up to be. I low key wanted to be the mysterious American girl that the local boys would love to get to know. I soon realized my American citizenship wasn’t a personality, and had to think quick on my feet who I was at 22. I guess that’s why I wanted to go abroad my last year of college: It also was a way to run from adult responsibilities and my parents who wanted to know if I’d ever grow up.
Being the younger sister to the cookie cutter, amazing and perfect on paper Brynn Kelly, was hard to live up to. I fell flat with disappointment with everything that I tried. Brynn was beautiful: from her honey, brown eyes to her cute little toes. Boys, no men loved her. And she was wicked smart, too. Like ridiculously smart that she got a full ride to Davis and I went the state way, to East Bay. I was lucky to even get in - it was my safety school and I changed my major three times until finally landing on History.
My parents thought that major was a joke in itself. What are you going to do with a History degree, Harper? My dad would ask, quite knowing the answer. Nothing. I can’t teach, I have no qualifications to curate. That’s why I’m blowing off steam in London until I have to graduate to figure things out.
Don't get me wrong, I don't find myself unfortunate looking. I actually think I'm quite attractive when I put in the effort. I just have a hard time trusting people and even little less faith that there are unselfish motives underneath it all.
My flatmate Megan is a glass half full kind of girl. Megan is a lot like Brynn in ways that men flock to her. They must read off her positive energy and bubbly persona. Plus it doesn't hurt that she's a total babe. She has the most amazing auburn, long hair. It’s gorgeous; even I want to touch it. Her cafè complexion is to die for. She won the jackpot on diversity of genes: she says her father is part Latin with her mother’s side being Egyptian. I dunno where the hair color comes from, but it’s a magnet to free drinks and dinner that's for sure. The men in London love her accent since she was born in Madrid, she’s the mysterious one, not the American who calls football, soccer.
The night I met Henry was not a night I was to be out. I had to study for an exam the next day for European History 4c. I will tell you I was not ready, so when Megan coerced me to go to a party at some flat of a guy she knew from English, I shouldn't have gone. Plus I was still dating Andrew back home.
Andrew and I had been dating for over eight months before I had decided to study abroad. He was the type that hadn't realized how cute he was, but very flirty when he wanted to be. He had asked me out a few times before I finally said yes. It wasn't like he had pressured me or made me uncomfortable, I just didn't really see him like that. We were friends from a mutual class Freshman year and then it turned into something more. I had lost my virginity to him and we had talked about moving in together for the last semester. That was until I decided at a spur of a moment to apply for the abroad program.
He was obviously upset at my decision, he had every right to be. But something was begging me to try something else, to see something new. And I figured, before I settled down with Andrew (who I indeed did love), I owed it to myself to find out. We said we'd try long distance, and so far it's been working. We'd facetime each other at odd ends of the night, send naughty sexts during class, and he said he'd try to make it out for Spring Break.
But it was that fateful night that I had decided to forgo my studies the week before Spring Break and frolic in mischief with Megan, and found myself meeting the most intriguing, painstakingly handsome London Boy.
