Leonardo
◇ Ever since Leo realized his feelings, his casual demeanor towards [Y.N] had turned into almost aggressively flirting.
◇ Despite not wanting to rush into confessing his feelings, he was practically a simp for that person..
◇ But he also teased them often, of course, not on a seriously offensive level. Just light pokes and prods.
◇ I'm sure he bragged to anyone about his not-yet relationship with [Y.N].
"Oh, and I recently won a unicorn plushie for them, and they were really delighted! WE'RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER!"
"Pepino, get the hell out of here."
◇ Just as Donatello had enough of his (non-)twin, he now wanted to dig a hole to hell and throw him in there to finally get some rest.
◇ Anyway, the accidental confession happened one night when neither he nor [Y.N] could sleep.
◇ They were sending each other various memes through Discord in bulk. This boosted his confidence even more, leading to him typing 'I love you.'
◇ Of course, he hadn't sent it yet; his mind was suddenly filled with not-so-good thoughts. What if they don't feel the same? What if they laugh at him?? Or something worse?!
◇ Despite his persona, the boy was full of insecurities, from his looks to his personality, but with them... he felt good about himself.
◇ But would such a confession be too simple? The boy decided to wait at least one day before confessing his love.
◇ But fate said 'nuh-uh,' and his phone fell on Leo's face, causing panic. Due to his carelessness, he held the device wrong, resulting in the accidental sending of the ill-fated message.
"No, no, no, NO!" His voice trembled as he tried to delete the message immediately. Unfortunately, the app froze to his disadvantage. "Damn it!"
◇ When he managed to reopen the app, there was a new message.
◇ "... You are not joking, right?"
◇ This night would last even longer than a turtle had anticipated.
Raphael
◇ I think it happened during the attack on their home by Shredder. Absolute chaos, a storm of emotions, the perfect situation for an imperfect love confession.
◇ "Raph, have you lost your mind?!" [Y.N] began, full of outrage. "Why didn't you let me stay? Splinter and Draxum need help!"
The turtle furrowed his brow bones, looking down at the shorter person with regret. "It was the only way, I'm sure they'll handle it."
"And what if they don't? What if they needed our help right now?"
◇ No matter how advanced [Y.N]'s combat skills were, Raphael was even more opposed to the idea.
◇ "Nothing will happen to them!" Raphael raised his voice, as if trying to convince not only the teenager but himself. "And stop arguing with me; I'm the leader here, and I make the decisions!"
"Damn it, I don't understand you! I could handle it, and you would have more time to plan; I'm not needed here!!"
◇ Just a reminder, everyone present was watching this argument.
◇ "Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not!"
"You are! I don't want to lose you like Gram Gram; I love you too much!" His angry red face suddenly turned shocked. Oh, oh. Did he really just say that??
◇ His dark eyes met the teenage counterpart's. Their whole face was red, and their determination to sacrifice themself slowly faded from their eyes.
"... Fine," [Y.N] muttered and sat down in the seat next to Michelangelo.
◇ When all this chaos is over, they'll have to talk, this time more calmly.
Donatello
◇ Donnie has a need to be as organized as possible, so before suggesting anything, he has to plan everything out and make sure that any confession of feelings will go perfectly.
◇ Of course, he had a large folder with potential scenarios that could happen before and after the confession. It had a bit of a vibe from his previous reincarnation, but much less scary and obsessive - he simply felt strong discomfort without preparation.
◇ Leo likes to tease him about it, by the way.
◇ Anyway, there was one situation the boy didn't anticipate. One night, he had been working on another invention all night, aimed at stealing another battery from the Purple Dragons, and in the morning, he fell asleep at his desk, or rather, he was half-unconscious.
◇ "Dee, come to bed." Raphael's voice echoed through the lab, gently shaking the sleepy Soft-shell's naked shoulder. In response, he got some sluggish syllables and a hiss. "You can't sit here like this; it's not healthy." "And sitting here all night is unhealthy enough," he added quietly.
"Get lost..." That's all the turtle understood. Raph rolled his eyes and moved away from his brother a bit.
"I'm not going to struggle; I'm sleep-deprived myself," the red-loving enthusiast said, picking up his phone.
◇ And so [Y.N] appeared in the lair, as the ultimate weapon.
◇ "Donnie! Get up! Lie down in bed!" The teenager themself was not well-rested, considering the early hour, but they tried not to sound irritated. Donnie mumbled something again and straightened up in his chair.
"Raphaello, leave me alone," Donnie started, putting his hands on the keyboard. Apparently, he had no intention of opening his eyes. "I still need to make a few changes to the code..."
"Wait, do you think I'm Raph??" [Y.N] asked in surprise, pointing at themself. Did their voice really sound so manly and deep?? Since when??
"And you're talking in the third person again; I've told you that it's no longer fashionable." Donnie tried not to hit his head against the desk even a little, wanting to at least be somewhat awake. The human wanted to say something, correct him, but gave up with a certain idea in their mind.
◇ they had noticed strange aspects of their friend's behavior lately. He was more open to their, often grabbing their hand or hugging their despite his usual aversion to it, he made various devices for their that made quite an impression on their... there had to be something to it!
◇ "Hey, buddy," the human leaned lazily against the desk, trying their best to mimic the speech style of the oldest of the brothers. "Do you, you know, have something going on with our best, most wonderful human friend??"
"You mean April?" Ouch, that hurt, even though [Y.N] felt the same way. "She's our almost-sister, Raph, yuck."
◇ "Oh, no! [Y.N], I meant [Y.N]!" The teenager corrected themself, slightly annoyed. It was weird.
"What about them? I already told you." No! Not like that!
"Ahahah, you know I have a bad memory when I'm not stressed!"
"Mh..." Pause. Did they say something wrong? Donatello is overly smart; he should figure out what's wrong! How will they explain this? "Everything's fine; my plan will be initiated in half a year at the latest." Plan? What plan??
"Plan...?"
"Rendezvous plan, duh," Donnie replied, resting his head on his hand. "I know you advised against it, but I can't do it differently. I need everything to be tip-top before I confess my feelings to them."
◇ "..."
◇ "..."
◇ "Raph...?"
◇ [Y.N] remained silent, trying to control their sudden heartbeat and their face turning as red as a strawberry.
Michelangelo
◇ Playing the role of Dr. Delicate Touch, the boy knew perfectly well what he felt and wanted to confess his love, but the natural fear of rejection also got to him.
◇ He wanted to think this all through. He wanted to do it as smoothly and charmingly as possible, but not in a way that made it seem like he didn't care. He didn't want to throw such important words to the wind!
◇ His artist's soul played a significant role here. Every time he felt great, he had to sketch something related to love.
◇ Just woke up from a fantastic dream? He had to quickly grab his sketchbook and sketch [Y.N] in a floral wreath.
◇ He was on patrol and saw their favorite cafe? He started sketching the teenager drinking coffee in the nearby sand with his finger, taking a picture of it as a keepsake.
◇ Spending quality time with [Y.N]? He convinced them to start painting each other with his favorite markers, and under the pretext of light fun, he drew orange hearts on their cheeks.
◇ It was all fun until there was an 'accident' during one of the previously mentioned activities.
◇ So, Mikey and [Y.N] were in his new room after Shredder's attack, and he needed help with some unique decoration.
◇ "Wait, isn't that a neon banner from the nearby store??" The teenager asked, pointing at the mentioned thing, peeking out from behind the boy.
"I neither confirm nor deny it!" Mikey laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "You have to admit it fits perfectly."
"Mhm, but I doubt you'll fall asleep with this," [Y.N] said skeptically, picking up one of the cardboard boxes that contained a surplus of notebook-like items. "Where does this go?"
"Oh! Just put it next to the cabinet; I'll put them in the drawers in a sec."
The human nodded, and as they took a few more steps, they tripped over the cables lying on the floor. they fell to the ground with a squeak, dropping the box less than half a meter in front of them.
"Are you okay??" The orange-loving enthusiast quickly ran to his friend, helping them get up as they groaned in pain.
"Yeah, I think so..." Their voice trailed off, surprising Mikey, who followed their gaze.
◇ His pupils immediately narrowed upon seeing an open sketchbook with many drawings and sketches of [Y.N], with a predominant theme of love.
"Mikey...?"
"IT'S NOTHING!" The teenager shouted, hastily picking up the sketchbook from the floor and pressing it against his plastron.
◇ Their faces both turned equally red with excessive thinking.
◇ Oops.

Comfort Bayverse TMNT
Tumblr media
A/N: Somehow I only see stories in which the turtles are comforting us, but here it's the other way around! How would we make the turtles feel better? (Picture from Pinterest!)
Warnings: Maybe alittle bit of angst, fluff, Injury, GN.Reader
______________________________________
Leonardo:
Leo had argued with his brothers again, but it didn't end as well as it should
He was angry, but above all disappointed, so he went into a quiet corner
You had heard them arguing and you wanted to comfort Leo
You saw him meditating, so you quietly walked over and sat next to him
"You wanna talk about it, Leo?" "No, not really..."
So you just sat quietly next to him and watched him meditate
However, after a few minutes, he sighed loudly and started talking about what had happened
You comfort him by telling him that arguments are normal and that he shouldn't always take everything to heart
You then hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek, which made him relax
Thanks to you, he can think about something else
Raphael:
Raph was seriously injured on a mission and was now no longer allowed to go on missions (for a certain time only).
It made him angry and he even argued with you, with the end result being sent to his corner
The other three were off on a mission again while you were supposed to look after Raph
You had made him something to eat and taken some bandages with you
"Raph... are you hungry?" "... yeah, maybe..."
You had put the food in front of him and while he ate you had taken care of his wound
As you tended to his wound, you had hugged him tightly
Raph returned your hug and apologized to you for the argument
Of course you forgive him and then he finishes eating
While he ate, you explained to him why you insisted he rest and he promised you to take more care of himself <3
Donatello:
Donnie had spent an entire week working on a project that was very important to him
However, it went completely wrong and he was completely devastated
Leo had told you and asked you to take care of your boyfriend
So you had bought a few puzzle books and filled out a few things
As soon as you didn't know anything anymore, you made your way to your boyfriend
"Dove, not now... I don´t feel so good..." "But I need your help, please..."
So, unmotivated, Donnie sat down with you and you showed him the puzzle books
After only a short time, Donnie had forgotten about his old project and he enjoyed spending some time with you again
When you had finished all the puzzle books, you kissed him lovingly and hugged him tightly
Afterwards you always took a little time to fill out a few puzzle books
Michelangelo:
Mikey was a little sad that he couldn't go out on Halloween
It was the only day he could go out without being called a monster, but Leo had forbidden him
You didn't want to spend Halloween without your boyfriend either, so you decorated everything in your house and put on a costume
You then invited Mikey over while you ordered food and got out a few snacks
When Mikey arrived he was incredibly happy and he could already smell the pizzas you had ordered
"Happy Halloween, Mikey!" "That's awesome, Babe!"
You had spent the whole evening together and also looked outside to watch the others
One time even small children rang your doorbell and Mikey gave them candys
You also took a lot of selfies together and watched a few movies together
He wants to do this every Halloween now

Please write some hsc for tmnt bayverse (all of them) when during an argument a child tells them that he hates/doesn't love them
Thanks you
They Have An Argument With Your Child
Bayverse!Turtles x reader
A/N: Time to bring Romeo, Joan, Gali and Sunny back! And with that, say hello to some of their siblings; Marcello, Dorothy and Luis💙❤️💜🧡
--------------
Warnings: Family fights.
--------------
Tumblr media
Leonardo:
Leonardo would be shaken to say the least. One thing was arguing with his own brothers, finding it hard to understand how or why they wouldn’t follow his orders, but fighting with his own children was different, and absolutely horrible.
Marcello, you and Leo’s second oldest, a teenager with a fiery spirit that mirrored his father's, had clashed with Leo over what seemed like an age-old disagreement – the issue of independence and the perceived favoritism toward his older brother, Romeo. Romeo, who was just shy of reaching his adulthood, had finally been allowed to go to the surface, without any kind of supervision. Marcello had not taken too kindly to that, believing that his father had started to favor his older brother.
An argument followed soon after, where Marcello's frustration boiled over. Harsh words were exchanged, and in a moment of anger. But all of that came to a climax, when Marcello shouted at his father, as loud as he possibly could.
"I hate you!", he yelled before storming off, leaving Leo alone in the middle of the lair.
Leo stood there, the weight of Marcello's words sinking deep into his heart. Parenting had never been easy, and juggling the safety of his family with the desire for independence his children inevitably felt was a delicate balance. The sharp sting of his son's declaration left him feeling vulnerable, questioning his decisions and even his capabilities as a father.
Unable to shake the hurt from Marcello's outburst, Leonardo retreated, seeking solace in the comforting presence of the person he felt the safest with - you.
Without a word, you sensed the turmoil in Leo's eyes and opened your arms, welcoming him into an embrace. The silence spoke volumes, and Leo, allowing himself a rare vulnerability, leaned into the warmth of your embrace, his worries momentarily eased by the love and understanding that emanated from you.
As Leonardo rested his head against your shoulder, he began to recount the events leading up to the argument with Marcello. You listened with unwavering patience, offering a sympathetic ear to his concerns. The complexities of parenting in a world filled with danger and uncertainties were not lost on you, and you knew that misunderstandings were an inevitable part of the process. Your gentle words of reassurance became a lifeline for Leo, reminding him that parenting was an ongoing journey filled with challenges. Together, you explored ways to bridge the gap between father and son, recognizing that communication and compromise were the foundations of any healthy relationship.
The next day, as Romeo headed out once more, Leo took intentional steps to mend the strained relationship with Marcello. It was time for Leo to communicate and spend time with his son, in ways that went beyond training in the dojo.
Tumblr media
Raphael:
Raphael would get mad. He would feel anger towards his child, but in reality, it was all about him. He would get angry at himself, blaming the whole argument on how he handled it, and how he failed to calm his child down.
Your daughter Joan, now 18, had recently taken a significant step into adulthood by entering into a relationship with a human guy. But the news didn’t settle well with Raph. He found it hard to reconcile with the fact that his little girl was growing up and venturing into the complexities of human relationships. So the evening when Joan told you and your husband about her new boyfriend, the two of them quickly found themselves locked in a heated argument.
Raph, with a furrowed brow and a heart weighed down by the realization that he was losing his grip on his little girl, confronted Joan about her newfound connection with a human. His protective instincts flared, clouding his ability to see Joan as an independent and capable adult. Joan, however, had grown tired of being treated like a child, and in the heat of the argument, she raised her voice, declaring that Raph was stifling her growth and that her boyfriend, who saw her as an equal, understood her better than her own father. The words hung heavily in the air, leaving a bitter taste of regret and sorrow.
Raph's anger was palpable, his eyes narrowing as he struggled to comprehend the fact that his own daughter felt unloved by him. The realization hit him like a punch to the gut, and the weight of his own shortcomings as a father bore down on his broad shoulders.
Fuming and hurt, Raph stormed away from the confrontation, retreating to a secluded part of the lair. It was there that you found him, grappling with the storm of emotions that threatened to consume him. Your presence served as a balm to his wounded heart, and in the quiet sanctuary you shared, he laid bare his fears and frustrations. Your gentle words, woven with understanding and love, reminded Raph that parenthood was a constant journey of letting go. You encouraged him to see Joan not as a child who needed protection, but as a young woman capable of making her own choices and learning from her own mistakes.
In the days that followed, you played the role of mediator, facilitating a conversation between Raph and Joan. As emotions cooled, they began to see each other's perspectives more clearly. Raph, in a rare display of vulnerability, admitted his fears of losing his little girl, while Joan, in turn, acknowledged her father's love and concern.
The healing process was gradual, marked by moments of shared laughter and understanding. Raph began to see the strength and resilience that defined his daughter, while Joan appreciated the depth of her father's love, even if it was expressed in a way that clashed with her newfound independence.
Not long after that, Joan brought her boyfriend down to the lair, in order for him and Raph to meet each other. And much to both you and Joan’s relief, the two men got along great. Talking and a few times joking with each other, as they slowly got used to each other’s presence. But as Joan and her boyfriend left for his home, Raph started tearing up. His little girl was an adult now.
Tumblr media
Donatello:
The lair was unusually tense as the echoes of a recent argument lingered in the air. Donatello found himself feeling stressed and frustrated, caught in a storm of emotions after an altercation with his pre-teen son, Gali.
The source of the tension was a disciplinary moment involving Gali and his younger sister, Dorothy. Gali, in a fit of teasing, had pushed Dorothy to the point of tears. Donnie, in his role as both father and protector, had grounded Gali as a consequence for his actions, while you took care of Dorothy, comforting her in the other room. But little did Donnie anticipate the storm that would follow.
As the lair's tunnels settled into an uneasy quiet, Gali, his face contorted with a mixture of anger and frustration, confronted his father. The exchange escalated quickly, with harsh words exchanged and Gali, in a moment of youthful defiance, started shouting.
"I hate you, Dad!", he yelled, before storming off to the room Donnie had told him to go to - his room.
Donatello stood there, the weight of his son's words sinking deep into his heart. The shock of hearing such words from his own child resonated, leaving him momentarily paralyzed. However, his love and commitment to being a good father quickly kicked in, prompting him to follow his son into his room.
Upon entering Gali's space, Donnie saw his son, red-eyed and visibly upset, sitting on the bed and staring at the floor. Taking a deep breath, Donnie approached Gali with a mix of determination and concern.
"Gali", he began, his voice steady. "We need to talk".
Gali, still seething with frustration, avoided eye contact but nodded begrudgingly, letting Donnie take a seat next to him. As they sat in the dimly lit room, Donnie began talking once more.
"I know you're upset, and so am I. I care about you and Dorothy deeply, and it hurts me to see you two at odds".
Gali, feeling a mix of guilt and stubbornness, finally spoke. "I just don't get it, Dad. Why do I get grounded when she's the one crying all the time? It's not fair!"
Donnie sighed, acknowledging the complexity of parenting. "Life isn't always fair, Gali. But my job is to teach you right from wrong and help you grow into a good person. Teasing your sister to the point of tears isn't okay. It's about learning to treat each other with respect".
Gali's frustration softened, replaced by a glimmer of understanding as he reached for his knees, hugging them against his chest. "But it feels like you don't trust me", he mumbled.
Donnie, realizing the importance of addressing Gali's feelings, and how this was about much more than just the episode with Dortothy, wrapped an arm around his son, holding him close before he spoke. "It's not about trust, Gali. It's about helping you make better choices. I believe in you, and I know you can learn from this. We're a team, and I want us to work together."
A thoughtful silence filled the room as Gali absorbed his father's words, his eyes still not looking at his father..
Donnie continued. "I'm here for you, even when it seems like I'm being strict. Let's find a way to bridge the gap between us, okay?"
Gali finally looked up at his father with a small smile. “Okay”, he said before he wrapped his arms around Donnie in a hug. “Thank you, dad”.
Tumblr media
Michelangelo:
Given the nature of Michelangelo, he would get sad. But with his strong empathy, he would quickly realize what was going on, working to fix the problem in the best way possible.
The lair was filled with an unusual stillness, interrupted only by the soft coos of the newest addition to the family, Luis. The arrival of the baby boy had brought joy and excitement to the lair, but it also introduced a wave of change that affected every member, especially the energetic and ever-cheerful Michelangelo.
You and Mikey's sunny disposition had dimmed slightly as he navigated the challenges of balancing your time between caring for the newborn and ensuring that your oldest, 5 year old Sunny, felt just as cherished. Sunny, despite her name, found herself grappling with the stormy emotions of feeling overshadowed by her baby brother. She missed the days where she was all you and Mikey looked for, craving the attention she once held so easily.
One afternoon, while you were out on a rare girls night out, Mikey sat on the floor, playing peek-a-boo with baby Luis, he sensed a pair of angry little bright blue eyes fixed on him. Sunny stood at the entrance of the nursery, her small hands clenched into tiny fists. Her cherubic face contorted with a mix of frustration and sadness, she declared out loud; "You always play with Luis, and you don't play with me anymore, daddy!"
Mikey's expressive eyes widened, a pang of guilt hitting him square in the heart. He gently set Luis down in his crib, making his way over to Sunny, his voice laced with concern.
"Aw, Sunny, baby, I didn't mean to make you feel left out”, he said. “You're my sunshine, you know that, right?"
But Sunny, in her 5 year old wisdom, shook her head defiantly. "No, daddy, you don't love me anymore!", she exclaimed, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air.
Mikey, feeling a mix of hurt and determination, crouched down to her level. "Hey, little star, that's not true. I love you and Luis with all my heart”, he said, reaching out for her small hands. “How about we play together? You, me, and Luis - the ultimate superhero team!"
Sunny, her anger slowly giving way to curiosity, looked at her father with wide eyes. "Really?"
Mikey beamed, his signature grin returning. "Absolutely! You're my first little hero, and Luis is the newest member of our awesome team. What do you say we play together and show Luis the ropes?"
Sunny's face lit up with a bright smile, her grievances momentarily forgotten. "Okay, daddy!", she exclaimed, rushing forward to join the trio on the floor, while Mikey went to get little Luis from the crib.
And so, the nursery became a battleground for imaginary adventures and laughter. Mikey juggled the role of a playful father and referee between his two little ones, ensuring that both Sunny and Luis received equal attention and affection. Sunny, in turn, discovered the joy of being a big sister and basked in the warmth of her father's love.

hi there! I dunno if you're still taking requests, but if you still are, then..
Can you make the portal duo with a reader who's really clingy, but is too shy to ask for any affection? The reason for reader's clingy behavior is because they weren't given the proper affection and attention when they were younger/ a kid?
remember, you don't have to do this request, I don't mind! Hope you have a great day/night :)
I've been getting a hand full of shy/clingy reader requests so i decided to combine Two of them! @fluffybun24 suggested something similar!
Tumblr media
~Leonardo~
-He'd find it cute! He sees you as a target, a new someone to play and tease with and would use this to his advantage. He'd flirt with you daily and for HOURS until you're a blushing mess. You just played it off as playful teasing since he sounded more playful than loving. -You always thought he saw you as just a friend and that's all you two would be! Despite all the playful teasing. He loves seeing you hide behind your arms and blush as you try to hide your face. -He'd spend most of his time with you. Two people are needed for a mission? Leo's volunteering both of you. -He does most of the talking for you. You were a bit surprised that he got most of what you were going to say right. -Once, you were in danger, in one of those two person missions Leo volunteered that you guys would do and surrounded by the foot clan. He dreaded the sight of you in danger. The next thing he knew, he was covered in blood, finishing off another foot soldier and slowly turning to you. You were on your knees, crying and whimpering. He cups one of your cheeks with his hand and rubs it gently, not knowing HE was the reason you were upset. "Don't worry, amor. They can't hurt you anymore. NO ONE will hurt you anymore." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
~MichelAngelo~
-Would take this as an opportunity to make a new friend! He would always be showing you physical affection and wouldn't understand if you started hiding your blushing face after he held you hand. -Once it clicks to him that you're shy, he'll start asking permission every time he wants to make physical contact! If he remembers at least... -He gets pretty close to you really quickly! Even if you don't speak much, You're always there to listen to him. Always wiling to stay up to speak to him. He'd be knocking on your window after his brothers argued with something about how he's too young. You'd pour a cup of coffee and listen all night long. -He would would start stalking you so he could talk to you. He always knows when you're free so he could just swoop in. -Once of these times, He saw one of your bullies and they started picking on you and you started to be cornered. He couldn't take it anymore. It was late in your school anyways, The lights went out and after a few seconds they went back on and you were terrified.. The head of your bully on the ground and blood everywhere. You ran and bumped into Mikey who's hands were covered in blood. "Oh..? That? Don't worry! Just some strawberry jam." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Raphael~
-Thinks it's adorable but sometimes struggles to communicate with you. Though, He appreciates how quiet you are due to how Chaotic his brothers are. He was very sweet and patient with you. -Tries to help you engage in more talkative conversations instead of just nodding to whatever he says. He gets to know you better and you two become close. Sometimes you start the conversation first which still surprises him but he's incredibly proud. -He'd probably teach you basic self-defense lessons to defend yourself from anyone who tries anything funny. He then realizes that your shy nature instantly makes you a target to pick on. He starts following you everywhere to protect you from any unwanted attention. He'd give you breaks and bring snacks of course! -On one of these days, He saw someone flirt with you in an alleyway. You tried to tell them you were uncomfortable with this but they didn't seem to hear you. Then, They touched you. You moved away instantly. They thought you were playing hard to get so they came closer. Raph jumped down from the roof. He grabbed the persons neck and snapped it. You looked scared.. "Raph thinks its time for your next lesson! Raph didn't mean to scare ya'!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Donatello~
-It hits him immediately that you were shy. He saw how much you struggled with words, even stumbling over your own words and sentences. Due to this, he'd engage conversations first, as well as affectionate actions. He wants you to be comfortable, Even if he was a giant mutant turtle. -He liked how good of a listener you were. He would often talk to you about his inventions, research and would probably info dump whenever he could. -Once he got close enough to you, he'd start inviting you more into his lab. Expect him bugging every device you own. He'd start following you with cams. It was just to check on you but before he knew it, It was part of his daily routine. -He made a robot to protect you, detecting any threats, Letting Donnie use a controller to control the robot. Being responsible for every action and movement the robot made. -One day, His robot detected danger. It was a foot soldier. Before it could come any closer, More foot soldier surrounded you. Donnie knew what he had to do. No one was in this area anyways. The robot starts to kill every foot soldier in its path and you look up to see Donnie running toward you, holding a controller. "Are you alright? I didn't get any blood on you, did i? Did i miss one?"
This was a bit long, i hope you enjoyed!! From:MysticMidnight

I don't remember how bad Raph's anger issues were in the 2007 film so this might be a little ooc
But could you do something with Raph and Leo are arguing over something, and Raph throws his sai at a wall
It hits the wall and they hear a yelp, both turn around in a panic
The sai barely missed Y/N who was just coming in the room so now they're like, "hah I'll just come back laterrr :')" <- stressed out by a near death experience
Thank you!
You can do whateverjust Leo's and Raph's reactions, or all of their reactions, or a fic, whatever you're vibing with
Aww! I got you :) I'm doing this as if you're either of the turtle's S/O! so you can choose which you'd want to read:)
TMNT 2007 Imagines: How Leo & Raph would react if you were almost hit
As Leonardo's S/O
Tumblr media
Ah- guys- he's pissed
He just looks at his brother with such disappointment that it makes Raph feel even more guilty than he already is.
To be fair, you learned to never get involved when there was an argument between Leonardo and Raphael, you could get hurt- seriously hurt.
They don't mess around, they will physically fight- they give no fucks
But when it's announced that Leonardo will be leaving to South America for training, Raphael is fucking livid. He interrupts Leo's meditation session and rips him a new one.
"I can't believe ya wouldn't tell us! What happened to not keepin' secrets O' Fearless One?!"
Although it may not look like it, Raphael cares a lot about his older brother. So to see him up and leave like that pisses him off.
But, he has it all wrong. Leonardo didn't want to hurt him or his other brothers with the news.
So, they argue. What about you may ask? it's beyond me. All of this pent-up anger and frustration from both sides causes an all-out yelling war. While the others are doing their own thing, you can't help but intervene. The last thing you want is a fight to break out between your boyfriend and best friend.
Just as you walk in, Raph grunts in frustration and throws his sai- and if it wasn't for your instant reflexes, you would have been gone.
You duck quickly, and when you turn around, you see how his (extremely sharp) sai just sticks in the cement wall behind you. it's at this moment that you're so lucky to be alive.
It shakes you up, and you see Raph's amber eyes go wide, he didn't mean that- he didn't even know you were standing there.
"Shit, Y/n, I ain't kno-" "Raph!? What the shell!?"
Leo's PISSED. Raph could've killed you.
This causes more arguing, as Leo goes over to you and pries the sai from the wall- throwing it to the side and putting a protective arm in front of you and standing in the middle of you and Raphael.
But, you try and leave. You don't want to be in the middle of the feud. Not again. You can't take a side. You don't want to take a side. It's not your place.
"No y/n you stay right here- RAPH. Apologize. Now."
Will literally force a sorry out of Raph and will NOT let him go until he does.
Once he apologizes (Raph does feel bad, he seriously didn't mean to nearly cause you an early death, so the sorry comes quick,) he picks up his sai and leaves the dojo.
Leo stays and makes sure you're okay after that. It's natural, you're shaken up, you feel weak in the knees, the normal. You're in shock.
That seriously could've gone south quick, and Leo thinks about it for a split second. What if it did? He doesn't want to think about it anymore. It causes him to tear up.
Leo believes in parallel universes, in a different universe, you DID wind up getting stabbed. He could only imagine how is parallel self is handling it right now.
"Deep breaths, love, I'm sorry." Once you calm down, he helps you to his room, it's very clean and bare now, as he already packed essentials for his trip. But, his bed is still the same. Same scent and everything.
Once you're in his bed, he gets you some water, and then he lays beside you, holding you, comforting you.
He apologizes. Although you stop him and tell him he has nothing to apologize for, he doesn't care. He feels responsible. He should've been more attentive. He shouldn't have continued arguing with Raph. Maybe that would've never happened if he did.
You calm down as minutes go by, and Leo asks you (for the 1000th time) if you’re feeling okay.
“Thanks to you, I am.”
His heart soars at your response. He’s always glad to help you.
As Raphael's S/O
Tumblr media
ooh does this boy feel like shit for doing that
It’s been a rough couple of weeks, especially finding out Leo will be leaving for god knows how long
So when he barges in the dojo one day and just starts going off on Leo- letting out all of his anger, it turns into a full blown argument
“I’m doing it for you, Raph! For our family!”
Raph doesn’t wanna hear it. He wants his brother HERE. In the sewers of NYC, not 3727228 miles away.
As Raph’s S/O, you understood why he got so angry at times. He was mad at the world around him. How imperfect it can truly be, and how it can turn upside down in an instant.
You had to understand Raph before you even thought about dating him- he’s a handful. He knows that, and he tries his best for you. You know he does.
You comfort him a lot. Like that day when Leo announced he would be leaving. He was feeling so many emotions and didn’t know what to do
So he started to dislike his brother. Like right now, how he just came in the dojo and started up an argument just because he can.
“We need ya here! I need ya here!” Doesn’t Leo understand that? But, it’s also Splinter’s orders. Leo has to go.
They continue to go back and forth, and from experience and observation- you know not to try and be the mediator. That was more Splinter’s thing. But, he wasn’t around. Nobody was. Just you as you just so happen to walk by.
But, you put all those conversations between Donnie and Mikey about what you should and shouldn’t do when Leo and Raph argue and go in there to try to at least dial it down.
Note: you should NOT tell both of them to shutup, they will literally forget they’re arguing with each other and come together and tell YOU to shutup and stay out of it (via Mikey)
Back to the current situation, you walk in and hear Raph’s accented voice get louder, and as you get closer to see them both, you also see something sharp fly right in your direction
After quickly ducking and yelping in the process, Raphael and Leonardo both stop and look at you.
Barely missed. And now? You’re sitting on the floor looking at them both.
Leonardo apologizes first. He should’ve been more aware of his surroundings and stopped Raph from almost decapitating you.
Your boyfriend, on the other hand, is shocked. He’s frozen in place, watching as Leo helps you get up, and soon leaving the dojo to get Donnie as you mention that you feel your heart racing.
“I’m fine, Leo, I’m just…” too late, he’s already gone.
Raphael truly fucked up, didn’t he? The last thing he would ever want to do is hurt you. You’re practically his everything. Who he tries to be a better person (err, turtle) for.
“Shit, babe, I’m so…fuck…I’m sorry,” once Raph gets himself out of that shocked state, he comes rushing to you, not even thinking about his sai that’s sticking out the wall.
He begins to ramble, that’s what he always did when he has no grasp on his emotions. He didn’t mean to do that. He had no idea you were there. He’s sorry, so fucking sorry. He knows he could’ve hurt you-he knows.
As you feel your heart rate go down as moments pass, you just embrace your boyfriend mid ramble. You hold him. You’re okay, and you have to tell him that.
“Hey, I’m okay, see?” You say while you bury your face in his plastron, “That reflex training you taught me finally came in handy, huh?” Raph isn’t sure what to do with his hands at first, but they soon wrap around your smaller form. How can you be so sweet to him when he almost took your head off?
He apologizes sincerely once again, but…it’s okay. Things happen. You knew Raphael wouldn’t do anything to hurt you intentionally. He’s not like that towards you. He cherishes you.
You cherish him all the same.
Leo comes back with Donnie, but you insist you’re okay. Which, you are. Raph and Leo end things bittersweetly, but what matters is that it’s over. They know not to fight to that extent. Raph understands now.
Raph’s still thinking hard about what he almost did to you, and it takes a lot of reassurance for him to see that you’re truly not angry or upset at him.
And once you’ve given Raphael that reassurance, he’s feeling better.
“You’re gonna have to try harder than that to get rid of me, Raphie.” You’re using his nickname again, you’re joking with him again like you usually do, and it makes him smile. It makes him love you even more, how you can get past his fuck ups with no hard feelings. He needs someone who understands.
You understand, and that’s what he loves about you.

I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA FOR AN AU
But this one is a little bit deranged.
AU where only Donatello and Karai are raised by Splinter and the rest (Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo) were raised by the Shredder. (Or vice versa idk which would be funnier)
It's stupid, I KNOW— but wdnsixjsks—
Just imagine the lone turtle being raised by the opposite side of the other three, accompanied with just as fierce + overprotective older sister who'd drop kick anyone who ever attempt to claim the title as 'Donatello's older sibling'.
Donnie'd be so confused to suddenly have a group of the same species as him suddenly thrusted into his life after spending years of beliving he's the only one— and oh look they're now claiming him to be their brother, how neat.
Karai is NOT happy because that's HER little brother and they have to pry him out of her cold, dead hands.
Leo and Raph would be, "You're our master's daughter and that's OUR little brother", to which Karai would be, ">:0".
Cue to Mikey and Donnie arguing who is older.
I'm not sure about you, but I am also a sucker for (over)protective Mikey. It's a neat concept, one that hasn't been explored much by the fandom— but arhwidnsidnsi.
I just love the purple genius, okay?
This AU is purely crack and self-indulgent at this point hahah.
-Ellestrade
Donnie didn’t consider himself to be a bad son, per say.
Sensei always had a list of rules to keep him safe. Never go down to the ground floor unless the dojo was closed for the day. Never open the curtains because he might be glimpsed. Never go out into the yard unless he got permission or had one of them with him.
And never, under any circumstances, was he to enter New York City.
Sensei was always very careful when it came to his safety. It’s the whole reason that he found a place outside the city for him to grow up, miles away from people, but close enough to the city that Miwa could visit to terrorize socialize whenever she feels cooped up.
Donnie’s never had that luxury, but now he was fifteen.
Fifteen was practically driving age. Fifteen is old enough to be in a high school and get invited to parties that sounded unsafe and rent adult movies behind parents backs and get to buy things at stores or check out books at the library!
He’s definitely responsible enough to borrow some books on his own.
Fifteen is also the perfect age for sneaking out and breaking rules.
It’s not really his fault. It’s the hormone and teenage ritual stuff. He couldn’t help it, probably. That’s what Miwa always says. Sensei buys it sometimes. He goes easy on her. So when Donnie wakes up to a carpeted floor and a splitting migraine, he knows he’s been caught and he’ll need every reasonable excuse that he can get his hands on.
It’s his birthday, anyway. Sensei can’t be too mad.
There are muffled voices around him as he lifts his head, immediately regretting it when pain spikes from his skull and scatters across his forehead. He clutches at his skull, groaning miserably. He’s never had an all-nighter migraine this intense before.
He supposes that this is what Miwa would call a personal problem as remains on the ground, forcing his eyes open to get a read on the situation. He expects to see his father hovering as Miwa goads him into a punishment because the consequences of his actions was never enough for her.
Somehow, his father usually ends up letting him off the hook instead. A perk of being an extinct species that can never see the light of day, he supposes, is endless sympathy points.
Donnie’s greeted with three shells, four blinding overhead lights, five individual weapons, and six eyes, all balanced out by a truckload of confusion. He stares, blinking sluggishly, as one of the turtles announces, “Well, he’s not dead.”
And just like that, this has officially slotted itself to be the weirdest dream Donnie has ever had.
DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT I HAD TOO-
So anyway, feel free to assume that he’s in pain and kidnapped for any number of reasons because I have about twelve different ideas and they are all equal GREAT for the crack AU atmosphere that is in development in my brain.
I’m just imaging a backstory where Shredder fought the Kraang (cause he was hangry or something, who knows) and the turtles (sitting abandoned in the alley, maybe?) are corrupt with mutagen.
Absolutely dumbfounded but not stupid enough to leave the little freaks of nature behind, he (still human) snatches three of them, accidentally leaving one behind.
Hours/days later, Toddler Miwa hear Donnie crying, barely alive and all alone. Obviously, dad and daughter care for him.
Shredder and Yoshi are still human, but neither is on guard for the other. They both think the other remains in Japan.
Their sons don’t grow up hating each other’s guts. They are both trying to leave their past behind. Yoshi is raising his family. Shredder is growing his empire.
So Donnie didn’t grow up knowing he had other brothers because no one knew they existed. Ergo, I imagine Donnie would be confused at first, but after fifteen years thinking that he’s alone in the universe, he’s eager to learn everything about these three fellow turtle mutants in ninja gear. He’s a bit perturbed about the fact that they keep making excuses to keep him from leaving, but he’s not to concerned about it. He has brothers! How neat is that?
And since it’s a crack AU, it would be absolutely hilarious if Donnie seems like this naive, learned soul, who cannot social in the slightest- but the second that the need calls for it, he knows how to use several different type of weapons and can take all the brother down single-handedly. He had fifteen years of no brotherly distractions and a sister who takes training very seriously. Why wouldn’t he?
It’s why he’s not concerned with technically being held hostage. He’s reasonably certain that he can take them. And he proves it when Karai finds him and tries to take him home, only for the brothers attempt to stop him from leaving.
Of course, he always feels bad about his supremely awesome and instinctive skills. He prefers his studies.
No, but your “pry him out of her cold, dead hands” comment made me think that she’d need a reason to feel threatened. If they bond before she finds him, Donnie will begin looking at his older brothers (yes, even Mikey, who adores being able to feel in charge of someone) like, well, eldest brothers, and Karai will sense the change.
And, obvs, be completely and utterly ticked off by it.
Donnie’s spent his entire life admiring her and everything that she does- how DARE she have to share his attention with these three random strangers that literally kidnapped him?!
And his older brothers will all immediately decide that this lost child is theirs’ for one reason or another. And obviously, the safest thing to do when you find a stray mutant like you is to take it home and give it care. Heck, if it turns out to be your brother, even better!
HAPPY FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY! YOU BELONG TO A GROUP OF NINJA TURTLES NOW, ADOPTED LIKE A LOST CAT! CONGRATS!

TRUTHS AND LIES: 2
♤~~◇~~♤~~◇~~♤
Pt: 1 Pt: 3
Summary: You meet your father after a lifetime of not knowing him.
Warnings: Angst but with comfort this time,
Requested: N/A
Female Reader
....................................
You followd Leonardo nervously.
You knew his brother would not take kindly to him bringing you into their home. That wasn't why you were nervous though, you could understand their reservations about you, you were their enemy less than an hour ago.
No you were nervous to meet your father. How will he react to seeing you? Anger? Dissappointment? Sadness? Happiness?
It was so unpredictable you couldn't help your rising anxieties.
Leonardo led you up the old subway station steps, and you felt your shoulders tense as his brothers looked up at the two of you.
Silence filled the Lair, and you didn't dare break eye contact with Raphael.
"Guys, I this might seem bad-"
"What is she doing here!?" Raphael shouted, storming up to Leonardo and in turn, you, "Great idea, Leo, bring Shredder's daughter to the Lair. Now she knows exactly where we are!"
"Raph, calm down, she needs to see Sensei. She said she believes that he's her real dad."
Raphael's angry gaze flickered between you and Leonardo, but before he could argue further, Splinter stepped into the room.
"What is going on here?" He asked in his authorative tone. His eyes caught your own, and he dropped his jade staff.
"Tomoe?" His hands were raised, as though he wanted to do nothing more than hold you.
You looked down at your feet, the realization that you still wore your Foot Clan symbol filling you with shame, "Hello, Father."
The name was foreign to you, you only knew the name you were given by Shredder.
Tomoe. It meant blessing.
That thought only furthered your shame and guilt. Tears pricked at your eyes as your gaze never left your feet.
Your eyes widened in surprise as Splinter engulfed you in a hug, you held your hands up nervously, before returning the hug.
"I'm so sorry." You sobbed, hugging Splinter, your father, tighter.
"I'm so sorry." you repeated breathlessly, "I- I didn't know, I thought- He said-" You could even finish your sentences. You needed him to hear you, to hear that you were sorry. You were so so sorry.
"Hush hōseki. It's alright, I am not angry with you, I never could be. Shhhhh, it is alright." Splinter pulled away from you, wiping away your tears, "Follow me, my dear, there is much for us to discuss."
You nodded, following Splinter into the dojo. The second the doors closed behind the two of you, you could hear Raphael blow up at Leonardo.
You winced, "I didn't mean to cause an argument, I-"
Splinter held up a hand, silencing you, "Hōseki, they must sort out their issues alone. Raphael has his reservations when it comes to trusting people, he will come around."
"How could he though?" You stated, "I've done- horrible things. I-I was never strong enough to stand up to the Shredder, I just did what he said, I-" you took a deep breath, looking down at your hands, "I hurt people."
Splinter sighed, "You are not your past my dear. I have made mistakes myself. Those mistakes cost me my family. They cost me you. They cost me your mother and your sister. Those mistakes won't leave you, they stay for a long time, but so long as you learn from them and better yourself, those mistakes only aided in making you who you are."
Splinter rested a gentle hand on your shoulder, smiling softly at you, "Come my daughter, sit with me. Let us talk."
You followed Splinter, taking a seat under the impossibly large tree. You were still tense, but you had definitly calmed down quite abit. You felt more comfortable in your father's presence, like it was natural.
He gave off that fatherly energy of comfort, something you had never felt from Shredder. Shredder was, cold, and distant. But Splinter seemed as though he wanted nothing more than to learn who you were, who his daughter had grown to be.
"You look just like your mother."
You looked up to catch Splinter gaze, a soft smile played on his lips, "Really?"
He nodded, "Aside from the eyes, yes. You have my eyes." he moved a hand to brush aside a strand of your hair blocking your face, tucking the strand behind your ear.
"Dad, I-"
"My dear if you say you are sorry again, I will make you sit through a lecture from Michelangelo about self forgivness."
You chuckled, "It can't be that bad, right?"
"Well maybe not, if he didn't randomly add 'dude' to every sentence."
That caused you to fully laugh, something you hadn't done in years. Sure, Karai managed to get the occasional snort or giggle out of you, but again you were the silent one. Laughter included.
But as time passed, and you stayed with your new family, you felt that silence dissapaiting. You were more comfortable in your own body, you no longer had to fear punishment for speaking your mind.
Of course, you were still quiet. That's just who you were. You just spoke more often, but still in that soft and gentle tone.
The turtles, you new kyoudai, they all came around on their own. Leonardo was obviously the first, he broight you here because he trusted you afterall.
Michelangelo was the second.
It only took afew days and some time with him to welcome you, and now it seemed he wanted nothing more than to spend time with you.
Donatello was third. You spent quite abit of time in his lab with him, it was the place most foreign to you, so you wanted to familiarize yourself with it.
You mostly sat aside and asked questions, though you knew when he needed silence. He came around rather quickly as well.
Fourth and finally was Raphael.
He seemed hell bent on hating you, no matter how you tried to show him you meant no harm.
Eventually, Splinter decided enough was enough, and sent the two of you on a solo patrol, leaving you with a very upset Raphael.
He blew up at you, saying that he didn't know how his brothers trusted you so easily. You sighed, and moved to sit at the edge of the roof.
You explained the way you felt after Leonardo told you that Splinter was your dad, the betrayal you felt. You had been lied to your whole life, the people you had been told were enemies were actually family.
You knew what it felt like to be betrayed, it hurt. It hurt that someone you trusted with your whole being would toss you away or lie to you so easily.
You told him as much.
"I get where you're coming from, Raphael. I understand that you don't trust me. I'm not exactly a saint among men. I've done- horrible things, all because I was to afraid to stand up to orders." You said, not breaking your gaze from the New York skyline.
"I hurt people, innocent people, all so Shredder could grow his empire. Now, I get that you don't trust me, but it doesn't matter either way, because wether you trust me or not, I'm gping to help you destroy the Shredder, and the empire I helped build."
You turned to look at him, your normally soft eyes burning with a fire you had never known before, "I swear on my life I will."
And that was four.
....................................
Alright so Tomoe is the name you were given at birth, it means blessing. It was changed just like Karai's.
But it doesn't really matter, cuz Splinter is really the only one who calls you Tomoe.
Tramslations:
Kyoudai: Little brothers
Hōseki: Gem
As usual, let me know if they're incorrect!

You know the typical scene where the Hero has to convice you to stay away from the danger, to take shelter or something? That there's no other option or no more argument about it; and then s/o pull from his plaston (chest) and kiss him on the lips, with an explosion in the background. "You better come back." They say firmly, to not cry. Rise! Turtles reaction? Think that It might be their FIRST KISS❣️
This Isn't Goodbye
WARNING: Angst, crying, arguing, etc.
Notes: My longest Headcanons yet!! Sorry this took so long, loves.
Raphael
He's used to having to make these hard decisions for his family. It hurts, without a doubt, but he knows he has to feel the pain. It's worth knowing he's doing what he can to keep you all safe and alive.
So when he left you with no choice, he knew you would be angry. No matter how much you wanted to help, he knew you couldn't be caught in this battle. Not if you wanted to come out alive.
He was ready for the yelling. He was ready for the anger, the betrayal, in your eyes. He was prepared for the hurt you felt, and the tears you shed.
And as the silence fell, his family looking on in sadness, he was ready for you to never forgive him. He knew you would, but he was fully prepared nonetheless. He sat, kneeling on the debris behind him.
He started to speak again, but you caught him entirely off guard before he could. Grabbing his face with your hands, you harshly pulled him to you, crashing your lips into his.
He would've been staring, awestruck if it hadn't been for the explosion overhead that shook the earth. Before he knew it, he threw his arms around you and held you as close as possible.
With his eyes clamped shut, he held the back of your head in one of his hands, cherishing the feeling of you.
Quiet fell once more, this time filled with a sense of sorrow and hope. And as you two slowly parted, you took all you had in you to say-
"You better come back."
He held you close. And by the time he had to leave, there was a set, silent promise of his return.
Leonardo
He's not usually the one to put up such a harsh front, but he knows how to get his point across.
So when he pulled you to the side, still in sight of his family in case anything happened, his words struck a deep nerve.
He may have been a bit harsh, but he couldn't help it. And as your voices raised, his family eyed you both closely.
You briefly heard Raph try to chime in, but a look from Leo made him keep quiet. He wanted this to be handled by himself.
His heart nearly broke at the tears of frustration and fear in your eyes, but he knew he couldn't risk you being in the crossfire.
So, with some reluctantly harsh words, he stood his ground. As much as he hated hurting you like this, or arguing with you, he knew what had to happen.
As the silence fell, your head dropped. He could see a few tears slide down your cheeks.
With a heavy heart, he began to speak to his family, starting to walk away. But before he could, he was wrapped up in your arms. Your lips pressed to his.
His shock left him with wide eyes, but not for long.
Completely lost in your love, he wrapped an arm around you and used his free hand to cup your cheek.
The ground shook, and an explosion sounded. But he didn't pay it any mind.
He focused on pouring as much love into this kiss as possible.
And finally, as you both slowly pulled away, you spoke.
"You better-"
"I will. We all will."
He pressed his lips to yours once more, mumbling against them.
"I promise."
Michelangelo
At first, he wasn't the one telling you to stay.
Raph had told you, and you argued that you should go with them.
It got a little heated, and Mikey could tell you were at a loss.
As you looked to him for help, he shrunk in on himself, calling his name softly.
But, with an encouraging look from his biggest brother, he gently grabbed your hands in his own.
He gently, softly told you that you couldn't. How dangerous it was.
You couldn't bring yourself to interrupt him.
His hands trailed up your arms, cupping your cheeks as he wiped away your stray tears.
As he finished speaking, you reached up to his face. Carefully pulling him towards you for a sweet, albeit awkward, kiss.
"I love you. I love you far too much to let you run into. this."
He broke away as the earth beneath you started to shake, throwing his arms over you and pulling you to the ground for cover from the explosion.
As it settled, the two of you crouching on the ground, you gazed into each other's eyes.
Your lip quivered, voice shaking as you spoke.
"Come back to me. At the end of the day, just come back to me."
He leaned his forehead to yours, giving you a sweet, teary smile.
Donatello
"Of course, I will."
Out of all the brothers, Donnie is the bluntest.
He doesn't bother to pull you away from the group to talk to you. He says there's no need to, but it's because he felt it might be easier in front of them.
He's blunt, harsh, and doesn't spare any details.
He knows it'll hurt you. Of course, he does. But he needs you to understand that you can not risk your life.
He tells you the truth. You're a liability, a weak spot. And though it aches him to say so, to see the hurt in your eyes, he doesn't know what else to do to convince you to stay.
At some point, his brothers tried to butt in, telling him to not be so harsh. But he simply told them off.
He was ready for you to hate him.
Not your kind words.
Through your tears, your voice wavering only slightly, you told him you knew he meant well. That you don't blame him for all he's said, no matter how much it may hurt.
You tell him how much you love him.
He felt his eyes gloss over at a loss for words, staring at you with slumped shoulders.
Quickly, though, he snapped back to reality with the shaking ground, an explosion frightening the entire family.
He grabbed you, wrapping you in his arms as his mechanical spider legs sprung out, planting themselves on the ground and keeping you both off the earth, ready to flee.
As the shaking died down, he carefully held you, his hands under your thighs.
You gazed into each other's eyes, both glossy with tears.
And silently, slowly, he pressed his lips to yours. You were surprised but quickly melted into it.
The kiss may have only lasted a moment, but it spoke more words than either of you ever could.
He would always come back for you.

Scattered Remains (TMNT 2012 and Rise! Crossover)
Summary: After April’s enhanced psychic powers destroy Donnie, she attempts to bring him back to life. But, the purple turtle she finds is not her own
Warnings: Spoilers for TMNT 2012 Season 4, Episode 22
A/N: I’m finally done with the first chapter! If this does well, I might create a comic based off of it on my art account!
Fic starts below cut
TMNT 2012 Masterlist
Rise of the TMNT Masterlist
Main Masterlist
“Red, is that really you?” Casey asks, as he cautiously approaches April.
“I think so. But Donnie,” she says with teary eyes, “What have I done.”
The group stands still for a moment before Leonardo breaks the tense silence.
“It’s not your fault April. You had no control,” he says.
“But it is!” she gasps, looking up at him through her tears, “It was all me in a way. If only-”
She pauses for a moment, focusing on the broken crystal shards.
“Donnie’s not gone! He wasn’t really destroyed, just molecularly scattered,” she says as she faces the turtles and Casey, “I can bring him back.”
The boys watch in anticipation as April’s powers hone in on Donnie’s energy. If she can bring him back, she can make her family whole again.
She has to bring him back.
The turtles and Casey watch as blue sparks fly through the air, forming the silhouette of a body.
The turtles watch, full of anticipation. Their brother wasn’t gone. He was coming back!
Their excitement quickly turns to horror as they realize the figure in front of them is not Donatello.
Though not their missing brother, April still managed to bring another mutant turtle to the place where Donnie had been vaporized minutes before.
This turtle seemed younger, maybe by a year or so.
Raphael breaks the stunned silence as he holds a sai against the neck of the unfamiliar turtle.
“Who the hell are you? And where’s my brother?”
“Woah, Raph! Chill out dude!” says Michelangelo, pushing his brother out of the way, “He’s just a kid. And he’s scared.”
Michelangelo was right. The mystery turtle was still pale and shaking even as Raphael released him from the ground.
“It's ok mystery dude! We’re not gonna hurt you…anymore,” says Michelangelo, glaring pointedly at his hotheaded brother.
Raph rolls his eyes in annoyance.
“What are you doing Mikey? This is some random mutant that April brought here with her freaky crystal powers. We have no idea what it’s capable of.”
“Mikey’s right,” says Leo after a long stretch of silence, “This turtle is just a lost kid. He was brought here with April’s powers, which means he’s our responsibility. We have to take him back to the lair.”
“Are you crazy Leo? We have to focus on finding Donnie. Our brother is lost somewhere and you're focused on a random mutant we found on the street!”
Before another argument could break out, the mystery turtle interjected.
“Your brother’s name is Donatello?”
The group of teenagers looked over in shock. Michelangelo was the first one to respond.
“Yeah, dude. He disappeared when April got possessed by a freaky alien crystal.”
“The same crystal that brought you here,” says April in shock, “I was trying to find Donnie, but it brought you instead.”
“So that means…you’re Donnie?” asks Casey.
“Yes,” says the other turtle, “Just not your Donnie..”
“We have to get back to the lair and talk to Master Splinter. We’ll come up with a plan to find our Donnie and get this Donnie back home.”
“Seriously Leo?” Says Raph, “You’re gonna believe him just like that? Even if he is a Donnie he’s not our brother. We can’t just take him to the lair.”
“Think about it Raph,” says Casey, “If April accidentally brought the other Donnie here, our Donnie is probably stuck wherever he came from. Trustingthe other Donnie is our best bet.”
Raph huffs, but doesn’t argue any further.
“That’s it then. We’re headed back to the lair,” said Leo, “April, you should probably come with us. Maybe you can help Donnie replicate the research that you and Donnie did on the crystal.”
April and other Donnie both nod in agreement.
“I might be able to use other me’s research to try to replicate a similar
kind of technology that could get me home,” said the alternate Donnie, “If all goes well we should be able to find your brother too.”
The group looks to Raphael, gauging his reaction.
“Fine,” he said after a beat of silence, “But that doesn’t mean we trust you. All we need you for is to get Donnie back.”
The group sits in tense silence as Raphael stalks off towards the Shellraiser.
“Don’t worry about Raph little dude!” says Michelangelo with a small smile,
“He’s just worried about Donnie. He’ll come around.
“Mikey’s right. It’s nothing personal…probably,” says Leo before looking over to the Shellraiser, “We need to get back to the lair and tell Master Splinter what happened.”
“It’s late, I should probably get home,” Casey finally speaks up, “Let me know if you come up with any ideas on finding Donnie.”
The group watches as his figure retreats into the night before following
Leo into the Shellraiser.

Can I request yandere raph (romantic) with gn reader who's affectionate and a sweetheart, worst part or maybe best part is that reader is more closer with raph compared to the other's
you didn't write what cartoon to take Rafael from, so I hope you don’t mind that I write Rafael 2012 YANDERE! RAPHAEL (2012 ) X GN! SWEETHEART! READER Raf needed affection and care for a long time.
He was often stressed and afraid of anything.
he argued a lot with Leonardo about leadership.
Because he was very worried about his family, no less than Leo. but you appear in his life. You pretty quickly make him fall in love with you, with your kindness, affection and smiles directed towards him. He is too clingy to you.
He is jealous, but tries not to show this nature when you are around.
But it's one thing if you communicated with a stranger (for raf), and another when you interacted with his brothers. He is in a stupor.
He is both angry and tense at the same time. they are his family. He cannot somehow humiliate them for interacting with you.But his jealous, evil nature makes him steal you. He's holding on, at least he's trying. When you get home and go to bed, he watches you sleep. His desire to kiss you on the lips doubles. You are sleeping so sweetly and peacefully that it is hard for the turtle to keep from doing so.
But for a ninja, it is important to know the measure and patience, right? he wants to make you his. But self-control still keeps him from this act. if Raph is still your best friend, that would be the worst thing you could get from a yandere Raphael. He is even more clingy and irritable.
You can communicate, for example, with the same Leonardo, and the tortoise in a red bandage will immediately hug you from the back, and put his head on your shoulder, closing his eyes. You embarrassedly apologize to Leo and go with Raph to his room.
All his brothers already think you're dating.
And Rafael would like it to happen. Only you didn’t know yet that very soon Raf will force you to be with him, whether you like it or not.

Hello, I saw your requests are open. So I decided to send something.
Could you write a few headcanons for the rise boys with a reader that’s from another country. And could you leave it open from where? And reader has a different native language, English would be their second language. It would be kinda funny if the turtles (or one of them) doesn’t realize reader is a foreigner at first.
I‘m not from the USA and would love to see something with a foreign reader.
Thank you and have a nice rest of your day. :3
Rise!Boys with Reader from different country
Relationship status: platonic/romantic
Reader prounouns: They/Them
TW: Some grammatical errors because english is not my first language.
Author's note: I apologize for the long wait for this order; a lot has happened in my life. Not only did many of my childhood idols turn out to be bad people, but also my mom told me to leave home after we argued, and I poured out all my grievances to her. So, well, soon I probably won't have a place to live because my savings are too small to even rent a room. Plus, my mom took away all my painkillers, and the migraines haven't disappeared, so I'm in pain all the time.
But on the bright side, with the help of my friend, I managed to create a CV, and tomorrow I'm going to submit it to a company where I can work :D Unfortunately, I'll have to wait over a month for the tests, but it will be the first step in overcoming my fear of people.
But anyway, thank you anon, have a nice day/night too!! :D
Tumblr media
Leonardo
◇Do I really have to state the obvious as if it weren't clear? Leo is a goof; not a single thought crossed his mind that you might be even more different than him.
◇Even if April dropped subtle hints about your nationality, it just didn't register. Comics with Jupiter Jim are too captivating for him to bother with trivial facts.
◇It only hit him when your phone rang during a shared skateboarding session. When you answered and started speaking in your language, the guy literally had a Pikachu's surprised face.
◇After that, brace yourself for a million questions from the curious turtle. You'll be happy to answer.
◇Leonardo has a knack for learning languages, even if it's just basic words.
◇Thanks to Sr Hueso in his life, he's picking up Spanish. So, what's stopping him from learning your language too?
◇Btw, praise him every time he says something right; he needs that.
◇He'll also be eager to learn about cultural differences between you two. You might not seem very different, but a deeper look might reveal significant distinctions.
◇Ohohoho! National costumes? He'd gladly try them on.
◇But expect him to tease you by intentionally mispronouncing a few words or judging you based on stereotypes about people from your country.
◇If it makes you cry or get angry, he'll make sure never to do it again.
◇He likes food from your country but more as an occasional thing. If he could, he'd probably just eat pizza all the time.
Raphael
◇Raph, despite not being as dumb as Leo, suspected from the start that something was up with you that you hadn't mentioned.
◇But it never occurred to him to ask.
◇He ultimately found out from his father. Indirect, but still.
Raphael sighed throatily, rummaging through his kitchen cabinets. Your ears lightly twitched at each muffled or not-so-muffled clatter of things in those cabinets.
"What are you looking for?" Their voice carried both curiosity and a hint of irritation as she added more pepperoni slices to the light pizza dough. The turtle sighed again, this time softer, closing another cabinet to look at Their.
"I can't find any cups or glasses anywhere," his gaze expressed annoyance. "Probably those idiots kept taking new dishes instead of washing theirs, and now they're hoarding a mountain of dirty ones like hamsters."
"You complain about them, but guess whose kitchen I found a bunch of dirty plates breeding a new species in?" Their laughter started to grate on his head, but despite his efforts, a smile appeared on his rough lips.
"That's different; I, um... I'm the oldest, I'm allowed!"
"Ohohoho! [Y.N], my dear!" Splinter entered the red kitchen excitedly, appearing right behind the teenager using his ninja skills. "Are you making your delicious [Most popular dish in your country] again? My mouth waters at the mere thought!"
"Er, what?" Raph had a slightly puzzled expression, hearing about such a dish for the first time. What is that even?
"Oh, unfortunately no, just regular pizza," [Y.N] replied with an apologetic look, placing the last slice of meat. "But don't worry, maybe I'll bring that tomorrow, sounds good?"
"Oh, yes, definitely!"
◇Shortly after that incident, he asked about that dish.
"Oh? That's one of the dishes from my country."
"From your country? I didn't think America had such food to offer."
"Raph, I'm not from America."
"... What?"
◇Less surprised than Leo, but still.
◇Since then, you've been explaining everything about yourself and your country to him.
◇The biggest fan of dishes from your country, especially the way you make them.
◇Raph has a simple mind, so it will take a long time before he grasps the basics of your language, but he remembers many words that he tries to use at the nearest opportunity.
◇He loves it when he says a word correctly, and you pat him on the head as a reward.
◇As for clothing... sorry, but he's too big for that.
◇BUT, you'll make him bracelets in the colors of the flag if he insists.
◇There won't be jokes about your origin; Raph is too respectful turtle for that.
Donatello
◇He's not dumb (usually), and I think he'll be the first to ask if there's anything you haven't told him.
◇Of course, what is life without a bit of fun? You denied it.
◇Thanks to that, it was a game of cat and mouse for two weeks.
◇Eventually, Donnie hacked into one of your social media accounts where you clearly stated which country you're from. If not, he just had to check the login history in different countries.
◇Of course, he got a smack on the back of the head.
(And it's very possible his brothers put him in isolation overnight, you know, that place when Splinter had a fever? Who knows.)
◇You think he won't quickly learn the basics of your language? Dude, he taught a squirrels sign language, what can't he do?
◇Thanks to that, you can talk about various topics that shouldn't be brought up around his family in your native language.
◇And as a fun fact, wanting to surprise him, you asked Shelldon to teach you binary code. The guy was amazed, and Leo wanted to perform exorcisms on you.
◇Maybe he's not as intrigued by your culture, but he wouldn't want to offend you, so if you start talking about it, he won't stop you.
◇On the other hand, he really appreciates national costumes, maybe even doing that scene with you like they were hypnotized? You won't have to ask him for long.
◇Not a big fan of your national dishes, maybe because of the consistency? Or the unusual taste?
◇He'll likely tease you about your origin, but they'll be harmless jokes.
Michelangelo
◇Silly kid. Just a silly kid.
◇Nah, kidding, it just never crossed his mind that his friend is from a different country.
◇And you found it amusing to some extent.
◇Eventually, you told him about it when he got fascinated by a painting from your country.
◇Surprised Pikachu face ver.2
◇Probably the most excited about learning your culture, even if he doesn't understand it and it differs significantly from what's prevalent in America.
◇If your country has an unusual drawing style, he'll beg you to try it together. How can you refuse such an angel? (Not really an angel, especially when Dr. Rude comes into play)
◇He'll be the first to want to try on national costumes, both male and female.
◇He'll also want to, this time by himself, cook some dishes from your country.
◇He burned the kitchen.
◇A total failure when it comes to learning languages, so either you give up on teaching him, or you'll need a lot of patience.
◇Relatively supportive turtle, but he won't be as mindful of your origin afterward; it'll be like it used to be with the extra toppings.

Bayverse Turtles with a Baby?
Tumblr media
A/N: I thought the idea of how the turtles would act in front of a baby and it was so cute! (Picture from Pinterest)
Warnings: GN.Reader, fluff, Mention of abortion and adoption, HC and little story mixed
_________________________________________
The story, how it all happened:
You and your boyfriend were on your way to his home when you suddenly heard baby cries. You were in the middle of an alley and of course your mutant boyfriend immediately hid in case a mother showed up with her baby. But after waiting for several minutes, no mother came and the baby's cries didn't stop either. The screams came from a trash can and you walked towards that trash can. You opened it carefully, your mutant boyfriend jumped behind you, his weapon ready. "Darling, calm down, it's just a baby…" You just said.
You opened the trash can and saw a crying baby inside. It had a blanket wrapped around it and looked very dirty. From the looks of the baby, it had been lying there for a while and now seemed hungry. "The mother is not around and the baby is lying here alone…"
__________________
Leonardo:
Before Leo could react properly, you already had the baby in your arms and you looked pleadingly at your boyfriend. "Can we keep the baby?" You simply asked, eyes pleading. Leo immediately looked at you in shock, before sighing softly and shaking his head. "The baby is definitely missing… we can't just take it with us…" Leo said. His words made you pout angrily and you hugged the baby closer to you. "The baby was in a trash can and the lid was closed! It won’t be missed, don’t tell yourself that!” You then said.
Leo looked at you frustrated as you gave him a stern look. He knew that if you wanted something, you always got it. So he sighed loudly again and then nodded slightly. "Okay… But as soon as a report comes out about this baby, we'll bring it back." "Deal!" And so we had the baby and we took it to the lair.
Leo and you told his family about the baby you found
His brothers were somewhat amused that you had won another argument, while Master Splinter was worried. He didn't know if the baby would be safe with them
Luckily the baby was allowed to stay and his brothers would sometimes look after it too
First you fed the baby by warming up some milk and putting it in a small bottle with a dinking straw
As soon as the baby was full, Leo washed the baby, while you looked for clothes for the baby
When you came again, Leo was completely wet while the baby was dry in his arms
You had to hold back your laughter before you dressed the baby (Meanwhile, Leo dried himself off)
It was a boy and you wanted a name so you came up with one
Most days just consisted of feeding the baby, watching him sleep, or making him laugh
Sometimes he also saw Leo training or reading a book
You forced Leo to read out loud so that your boy could also listen to his beautiful voice<3
Raphael:
The two of you looked at the baby for a moment before you took it in your arms and gently rocked it back and forth. "Woah, woah, what are you doing?" Raph then asked, with a suspicious look on his face. "What does it look like?" She needs help…" You then murmured quietly, stroking her gently. "She? Pff, how do you know it's a girl?" Raph briefly made fun of you before he became completely quiet and looked down at you. You just glared at him while holding the baby in a thin towel. It was too thin and she was freezing.
"We'll take her with us whether you want to or not!" You then said sternly before heading to the lair. Raph stayed silent for a moment before following you and calling out to you. It seemed like a really stupid idea, but you didn't listen to him.
Even though the rest of his family accepted the baby, he still remained tough. He had nothing against the baby, but you didn't know where it came from and who it belonged to, but he didn't argue with you
Raph only helped you with a few things, like making food or washing the baby, the rest you were supposed to do on your own
But once Raph saw the two of you sleeping together, his heart melted
"Why do you help now?" "Shut up and let me help you..."
He was somehow embarrassed that he suddenly wanted to take care of the baby, but he didn't show it
You had also sometimes caught him trying to get the baby to say Raph first instead of your name
Raph was on a mission to teach the baby how to fight so she would be a strong woman
His brothers tease him that he plays the mother pigeon better than anyone expected
Raph discussed with you for a long time what the little girl should be called
When Raph changed the baby's diaper, he always had to stop himself from cursing
Always calls the baby weird nicknames
He holds Mikey away from the baby
Donatello:
Donnie scanned the baby over before gently nodding for you to take it. With a big grin, you took the baby in your arms and then showed it to Donnie. "I wonder why it was in the trash can…" You murmured quietly. Donnie tapped on his phone for a moment before putting it down. "There's no news for a missing baby… So…" "So we can keep the baby?" Immediately you looked up at him happily and your boyfriend had to smile. He confirmed your question with a nod. "Yes, we can…"
While you were on your way to bring it to him in the lair, Donnie had looked for a list of everything you would need for a baby and he then set out to get everything.
In his lab, Donnie had prepared everything you might need for the baby
That means: Warm milk, a little bed, new clothes and a baby bathtub
But he moved everything away so the baby wouldn't be near the chemicals
Donnie was somehow completely excited and he found out about everything in no time while you were feeding the baby
Leo had also promised Donnie that he would support you just like the rest of his family<3
As soon as the baby was asleep, Donnie went back to his lab to do some work
He begged you on his knees to name the baby after his favorite scientist (cough cough Galileo cough cough)
He let the baby sit on his shoulders and sometimes let him play with his Bó
The baby would sometimes start crying when Donnie took off his glasses
Sometimes Donnie calls the baby his own son
When you were taking care of Galileo (yes, you named him like that), Donnie could only stare dreamily at you
Michelangelo:
Mikey looked at the baby in fascination before taking it and looking at you excitedly. "Babe, look, a baby!" "Careful Mikey…" You took the baby in your arms and looked at it carefully. Mikey looked at the baby too, but with a big grin. "She has your eyes." "How does that work? That's not my baby." Mikey kissed your cheek gently. "But you have the same eye color!" You could only roll your eyes before giggling. You had agreed to keep the baby, but only if Mikey would actually take care of the little one.
"Guys, I'm a father!" He shouted throughout the sewers when you finally arrived. With these words he immediately got the attention of his family, while you went with the little one to the others. Mikey looked incredibly proud and happy.
Mikey really did stick to his words. He fed the baby, washed her with you, and carried her around on his shoulders
But what he liked most was making the baby laugh and he didn't care what he had to do to make it happen
"If you were a boy, I would have called you Kevin." "Like your pizza delivery guy?" "Yes!"
Even though Mikey was very excited, he was also very worried about the baby. He babyproofed his entire home- (with Donnies help ofc)
Mikey had made the little one an orange scarf
Sometimes when he tried to feed the baby pizza, you kept having to stop him
He brags to his brothers about what a great father he is and what a great partner he had
He would take an incredible number of photos of the baby
When the little one really laughed for the first time, Mikey laughed too and he was incredibly happy
When he didn't know what to do, he asked Master Splinter or his brothers for advice
When you and Mikey had kissed infront of the baby, the baby would always laugh and point at you two

~Mystically Broken AU - Chapter 4~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up earlier than usual, around 5 in the morning. You walked to your usual spot to meet either MichelAngelo or Raphael. After you, cleaned up and changed, you stop when you hear Donatello and Leonardo arguing.. "I KNOW YOU DID IT! STOP LYING, NARDO!" "I SWEAR! IT WASN'T ME THIS TIME!" "You're the only one who could've done it!!" "What proof do you have?!" "There wasn't a trace! The only person it could've been was YOU and your misuse of your ninpo! No one else could have left a crime scene so precise." "I'm telling you, Don! It was NOT me!" "I TOLD YOU, IT'S DONATELLO! NOT DON OR DONNIE OR-" He spots you and Donatello stops. "What? What else do you have to sa-" Leonardo stops as well once he sees you. "Right, your meeting with Raph was delayed. He said he was busy with Big bro stuff.. His words not mine. The first party you have to attend will be later tonight. I will be accompanying you." Right... you forgot about the four parties this year you had to attend to plead their innocence despite knowing they'll continue their "heroic" deeds.. to get what they want. Well, it was either that or dying. "W-Wait. I don't know how to help you yet! I don't know.. i can't.." "It seems we don't have time for that, you'll have to find an alternative."
You groaned as you were pressured to think of something on the spot.. "The party will take place in a Museum. Luckily my package came just in time. Here." He presents you a purple box. You take it. "Very... your style." He laughs at your comment. "Nothing more and certainly nothing less!" "Why can't i go with them first? I can go to a museum and talk all fancy too y'know!" You check the time again, it was pretty early. You still didn't eat too.. As if hearing your thoughts, Donatello snaps his fingers and the drone looking bot, S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. was it? hovers over, with a cup of coffee on top of it. You grimaced as you remembered the last coffee Donatello offered you.. (chapter 2 reference<3) You hesitantly took a sip and you look at him weird.. or shocked? It tasted like how you like your coffee.. not too sweet and DEFINITELY not too bitter. huh.. "How did you..?" "To answer both of your questions, I've known them for longer and i'm sure with a little help they can come up with something in no time!" Donatello says this confidently while you just hesitantly took a long sip from your coffee... Leo just crosses his arms and raises his imaginary brow at Donatello. You just walk back to your room. You sit down at your desk and stare at and analyze Donatello's criminal files again.. and you groan. The little drone came in with a plate with food on top of him. You smile and pat the drones head as you take the food. "Thanks, Shelldon." The drone.. smiles back? "No problem bruh!" and it hovers away.. i didn't know robots knew slang.. You put on some of your favorite tunes and use your headphones. Slightly bopping your head to the music as you look through Donatello's criminal records. (many hours pass) You check the time, and sighed. You continued looking. You received a message from Donatello. "Get changed. We leave in 2 hours." You open the purple box and see purple custom clothing.. it was also sparkly? Did Donatello make this? As you expected, it fit you perfectly. You were a bit creeped out but appreciated it anyways. You fix your hair and get cleaned up, you leave your room to see Donatello fixing his goggles. He looked, breathe taking.. "Hm, we have an hour to spare." You two made your way to the living room and sat on the couch. "Hey, Beautiful. Come around often?" You hear Leonardo chime from behind you and you smile. You were never complimented much.. So it felt like taking a breathe of fresh air. "It's still me, y'know." "I don't see the difference." You paused and think about it before Donatello asks you a question. "Have you thought of what to say? How about you mention my advanced intellect!" "Not really.. It's not like i can say, Hey! My friend here can make super deadly weapons that can attack and defend- THATS IT!" Leonardo looked at you like you just exploded. "What?" Donatello thinks for a bit.. "That could work.. " Leonardo just looks at you both in confusion. "Can someone fill me in here? DO you two share the same brain or something?" "Donatello here could build and help advance police force weapons or even army weapons! They'll surely take us up on that and in return they'll stop trying to hunt him down as they see him as powerful ally!" Leonardo just looks at us still dumb founded. "Do i have to explain in dum-dum terms?" Leonardo ignores Donatello's question. "Are you sure about that? We don't know what the government or especially the police and army would do. Those guys's loyalty can be bought for just a few bucks. You and Donatello look at each other and nod at Leonardo. "If you two say so.. I trust you." "And Don, sorry- uhm. Donatello. I swear, it's not me who broke in your lab and stole your syringes. " "I'll forgive you temporarily and.. Its Donnie." You smiled at the two. Wait.. someone broke in and stole Donatello's syringes..?

13. Worthless - TMNT 1987
Some thoughts on Raphael, master of disguise.
There's this scene in "Raphael, Turtle of a Thousand Faces" (s05e16) that I think about a lot.
So Raphael is taking a remote class on undercover detective work, and the other turtles make fun of him practicing disguises for an assignment. Splinter checks on him after he storms off, and it's such a short conversation, but I think there's more going on under the surface.
First of all, Splinter's reaction to learning about the class is hilarious. His face is fun to watch and he's so baffled he literally gasps. But then you can tell he tries to be patient and understanding. I wish I knew what he was thinking. Is it, why would you want to be anything other than a ninja? Or maybe, you've never expressed interest in this before, where is this coming from?? If you've ever worked for a while with the same group of kids or adolescents, you may be familiar with this thought.
At first glance, Raphael's response breaks my heart. He tells Splinter he's taking this class to make "more of a contribution to the mean green team! You know, something special." My immediate thought is that he's feeling a little worthless. But then I step back and wonder if I'm reading too far into it. Taking the time to learn a new skill to better support your teammates is a worthwhile endeavor. This is not, on its own, necessarily an indicator of low self-esteem. But what bothers me is that nobody knew he was doing this. Again, not explicitly a bad thing, but it seems weird to me that he wouldn't involve the other turtles or at least let them know about it so they can support him.
So Splinter, of course, immediately reassures him they're all special. Also not sure what to make of how he says this because it sounds some combination of fond and amused but also just conciliatory. What's interesting is what Raphael says next, and how he says it causes me to question that initial assumption again. He agrees, almost genuinely? Like he says "maybe" but not in a "yeah, I guess" choosing-not-to-argue-but-feeling-otherwise kind of way, he sounds sincere. Now, this could be him saying, well, duh, we're special, how many other crime-fighting turtle men do you know? This would line up with stuff he's expressed throughout the series. But he finishes very showy and cheerfully with, "But I'll be the only master of disguise!" So maybe that first impression was wrong. Maybe this is just a teenager branching out and discovering other interests. Maybe the secrecy was because he was worried the guys would make fun of him—which they did. Or maybe, he wants to distinguish himself from the other turtles, wants his own thing. 
And I wonder why he might feel like he needs his own thing or specialty. One of my favorite parts about the team dynamic in this series is that they don't really have designated roles. Leonardo is the leader in that he keeps them rallied and on task, but they all take turns offering plans and solutions, serving as the distraction, playing bait, or, more practically, just driving or flying. But since Leonardo has a defined role as the leader/master ninja, Donatello as the inventor/the one who gets them out of trouble (see one of my favorite Raphael lines at the end of "My Brother, the Bad Guy"), and even Michelangelo as the chef/pizza guy, maybe he's feeling some anxiety over his own ambiguous role.
But I can't get rid of the feeling that he thinks he's not enough and the others are brushing it off. Especially after their weak apologies—"We didn't know you were actually serious about this disguise thing." Especially as he tries so hard to prove his dedication and skill and ends up in a lot of trouble in the rest of this episode. Especially when he gives up private investigation but immediately throws himself into chemistry at the end of the episode, once again on his own and without help.
This happens in one episode, and as far as I remember, they never talk about it again, but he's my little guy, and I worry, okay! I just want him to be happy and know he's loved and valued.

TMNT Imagines: Guide to Being their Friend!
What the title says 😎but no this is the guide for being each turtles friend!
Leonardo
Being Leo’s friend entails that he’ll have someone level headed to talk to. I feel as though all versions of Leo needs a friend to match his energy.
2007 & 2003 Leo would seek to talk to his friend when he needs a break from being the leader. He holds a heavy burden on him, and sometimes, he needs a cleanse; has to let loose for a bit, Ya know?
That being said, try and get him out of his comfort zone! Invite him over to hang and have him dance! He’ll feel weird at first, but he appreciates that you’re actively trying to get his mind off of the heavy burden he carries constantly.
2012 Leo: watch Space Heroes with him, please. His brothers (Raph) clown him so much, he would love to have a friend that shares the same interest.
Rise!Leo: be chaotic with him, ALL THE TIME! Seriously, go out and do some spontaneous shit with him, see where his portals can take you both, anything! Make beats together, he seriously doesn’t care as long as it’s a vibe.
All this being said, all versions of Leo would appreciate a friend who can listen to his problems. To hear where he’s coming from, ya know? If him and Raph argue or there’s tension, listen to him. A lot of the times, he thinks he’s not doing enough. That he’s failing at being their leader when something goes wrong.
“Leo, as your friend, I can tell you firsthand that nobody could do this leader thing as good as you can.”
He likes to hear that. That SOMEONE appreciates and sees his efforts! So please, give him a good pep talk when he needs it!
Raphael
Okay, guys.
Raph is not just some fucking asshole who goes around raising hell in every room he steps in.
He doesn’t constantly fight or argue with Leo, and I hate that sooo many fanfics write him this way, fr fr
I 100% believe Raphael is just a guy, just a fuckin guy yall
He’s more glass half empty a lot of the times, and he’s most definitely blunt.
I believe Leonardo is the most skeptical member of the team- he doesn’t trust so easily, not to say Raph doesn’t.
However, when you start to come around the lair often, and even hanging with his brothers, who is he to shut you out? You haven’t done anything to him, or treated him badly. He’s definitely laid-back, does his own thing, minds his business, you get the idea.
Tell him all your jokes, seriously- this turtle needs a friend with a sense of humor. To hype him up, or to be his spotter, anything! Even if the joke is shit, tell him, the worst he’ll do is straight up tell you that it wasn’t funny LMAO
If you don’t like people telling you the truth and being honest, STAY AWAY FROM RAPH!
He will NOT sugarcoat shit for you, he will tell you the cold hard truth. If you don’t like this, your loss.
Everyone needs someone like Raph in their life- to really slap them in the face with reality! He WILL call it like he sees it. His delivery is always sort of harsh, but it comes from a good place. He lets you know that after.
Since it’s a platonic relationship between friends, get ready for him to tell you about the women he found attractive while on patrol.
If he does wind up getting into a relationship with a girl, he will have to explain to her that the friendship you both have is important to him, especially if you’re close enough to be considered family. Family always comes first for Raphael.
Really needs you to tell him about himself sometimes. He doesn’t want a friend that’ll lie to him, even though he probably won’t like what you have to say. If him and Leo get into an argument and he’s at fault, let him know. Don’t always take Raph’s side, ESPECIALLY if he’s wrong. He’ll be mad, but give him a few to cool off and realize you’re right, you always were. You come from a good place, and he remembers that always.
He’s definitely misunderstood- but a lot of the times, he hides his emotions, because he doesn’t wanna seem soft. But, we all know this, especially 2012 Raph! He hates looking weak, but we see him continuously care for his brothers.
Same with 2007 Raph, I honestly don’t know why people write him to be such a bitch, ie; doesn’t care what anyone has to say, rude to his brothers all the time, etc etc. they take ONE of his toxic traits and RUN IT TO THE GROUND YALL
If he’s comfortable with you, he will show his soft side, he just doesn’t show it to his brothers- especially Mikey.
Always reliable, if you need him, he’s got you. He’s 1000% a loyal friend, and hopes that you trust him enough so he can possibly open up to you. It takes a LONG time to get to this point, though.
Really loves to rendezvous, 2007!Raph loves a good bike ride to nowhere, and he won’t mind taking you with him. This goes for all versions of Raph- go with him to do absolutely nothing! Except if he wants to be alone. Hang out with him while he’s working out, or go on a bike ride with him- a lot of the times he just wants someone to appreciate the city lights as much as he does.
I also slightly headcanon that he’s chiller than the other turtles tbh.
Donatello
Oh Donnie
First off- he loves to talk. DEPENDING on who he’s talking to. He really can’t hold a conversation with Mikey, so.
But, if you’re his friend, be ready for him to talk a lot, especially once he’s comfortable around you.
If you’re into the same sciency shit he’s into, he’ll be over the moon! He can’t really converse with his brothers or Splinter about it since they can’t understand what he’s saying half the time.
A lot of the times, he really just needs an outsiders ears. Someone that’s not his brother or Sensei. He wants you to give him advice that’s in his best interest.
If he’s crushing on April, he will ask you for advice. Please be careful of how you speak to him, he’s not like Raphael.
You shouldn’t sugarcoat anything with Donnie, do tell him how it is, but be gentle, and use your words WISELY. Do NOT say anything that will hurt him. Use a gentle tone, please.
If its 2012 Donnie & he’s showing you that music box he made for April, please let him know what you think of it.
“I really like the effort you put in it Donnie, but don’t you think it’ll be a bit much for her? What about something smaller, like making her a bracelet?”
Like this. Do not bring him down! Any version of Donnie, don’t bring him down! He already has issues with self-confidence, always keep this in mind!
He would really enjoy if you could help him out on some of his inventions, he gets someone to talk to, and someone to be his helper! It’s a win-win for him
Please, make him food! Bayverse Donnie specifically! But, any version of Donatello, please make the turtle food. Slip out the lab when he’s working on something, and instead of heading for the pop-tart box, make him a quick sandwich with lots of greens, something that’ll taste good & boost his energy! He’ll munch at it while he’s working, but he will always let you know he appreciates it.
“Thanks for always helping me reach my daily caloric intake, Y/n.”
Michelangelo
First off, you better have some free time in your schedule!
Mikey really loves people, he’s the most sociable out of the four, and he’s a party dude! So please, hang out with him! As his friend, come down to the lair whenever you can to visit!
Play video games with him, go searching for new comics, discover new parts of the sewer, anything!
I think he needs stimulation a lot of the times, and a great way to do this is to embark on different adventures with him. Shit, steal the shellraiser and go on a drive through the city (don’t let him drive, he can be a passenger princess.)
He will always be doing something, and he’s always random- always expect the unexpected with him.
You have to be patient with Mikey though, he might have your brain going 1272626 miles per hour when he’s excited about something, but let him! He’s excited about what he’s talking about, don’t shoot him down.
Have Mikey train you on occasion. It’ll make him feel that he’s doing right by helping a friend! It’ll also make him feel good about his skills, and that he can even teach someone!
This goes for any version of Mikey- help him find new hobbies! He already skateboards, dances, cooks- try some art! Bring over some paint and canvases and go at it together. He will appreciate that you’re taking the time as his friend to get his hands on some things he’s never tried before.
Also, his cooking! 2012 Mikey especially, get him a cookbook, PLEASE! If you’re going to the Lair, bring over some new ingredients for him to use, or better yet: invite him over to chill and watch a movie! You guys can fuck around and make something yummy! Try and get him to have something not related to pizza, expand his palette. He probably will be picky, but whatevs! He’ll find something he enjoys.

We know about how Ghost would react to your SSDF au but what about your original iteration tmnt: solar flare?
Idk if I should answer this since I have barely even TALKED about tmnt: solar glare on this blog. Let alone actually get the turtles ref sheets made. But on the other hand making Ghost suffer is very fun...
So Im doing it anyways
@bluepeachstudios Im borrowing the sad old man again (he's too much fun not too)
Putting it all under a read more because spoilers for a lot of major plot points in solar flare. If you dont wanna be spoiled dont look
You have been warned :)
The first thing Ghost would think is "How the shell are these kids not dead?" Because the turtles are absolute DANGER MAGNETS
These absolute idiots, on their first night being on the surface:
FOUGHT THE GODDAMN SHREDDER
NEARLY GOT KILLED BY THE SHREDDER
Got sent to the Spirit Realm
Got attacked by angry spirits
Accidentally CURSED themselves by messing with something they were absolutely not supposed to mess with
Barely escaped the Spirit Realm, now fully cursed
Accidently UNLEASHED dozens of angry spirits into New York
And to make matters worse they got discovered followed back home by a HUMAN (April)
That was NIGHT ONE
Ghost and his brothers were lucky, they only fought Mousers and the Purple Dragons on their first night
And it only gets worse
That curse I mentioned, it has pros and cons. The pros being that it can turn the boys into literal shadows, enhance their strength and speed, make them near completely invulnerable to attack, actually let them attack the previously untouchable spirits, (let then turn into giant shadow monsters), etc. The CONS on the other hand is that the curse is slowly KILLING THEM. Draining more and more of their energy, breaking their bodies a little more each time. And the more that the cool shadow abilities are used the faster the effects are, the worse they'll get and the longer they'll last. Yeah. Ghost would absolutely not have a good time with that. (And would most definitely devote as much time as he could to trying to create a cure or at least find a way to lessen the side effects)
Anyways then theres the matter of the Spirits running loose, very strong, very angry vengeful spirits. That cant be knocked out or killed, they have to be banished back to the Spirit Realm. Which is not at all an easy task. (And considering that the boys will at one point spend an entire WEEK fighting those ghostly fucks practically nonstop to the point that they dont even go back to the lair until they are literally about to pass out from sheer exhaustion...yeah not fun. Ghost might have to carry them all back home) And there's also the Shredder and his growing army of goons causing trouble. Point is Ghost is gonna have a REALLY hard time keeping the kids from constantly fighting for their lives against incredibly strong enemies instead of actually being kids. Poor Ghost
The constant stress and fear along is definitely straining the boys' relationships with each other.
Especially between Leo and Raph. The two closest siblings of the family. The ones that said they were twins and stood by that for their entire lives.
And now they're arguing practically all the time. Cant even go one mission without at least one argument. Leo making reckless plans thinking they'll work perfectly fine then panicking when things inevitably go south and Raph getting angry at him for "screwing up" only because Raph is absolutely TERRIFIED. And Ghost trying to be the mediator, but its hard when you have two incredibly stubborn sixteen year old boys at each other's throats. (Ghost is reminded of the many many Raph-Leo fights that his own Raphael and Leonardo used to have. Only somehow, these are worse.) It just escalates and escalates further and further until one night.
When Raph and Leo actually FIGHT each other.
And it ends when Raph full on quits the team and leaves. Leaves Leo alone on that rooftop, in the pouring rain. (Ghost will never forget that shocked, borderline horrified look on Leo's face as the reality and the guilt over what just happened sets in)
Raph doesnt come home.
Ghost thought he just needed time to cool off but he still doesnt come home. It gets to the point that he tracks the red clad turtle down.
Only to find him in the Footclan headquarters.
Raph had joined the Footclan because he was so tired of the fighting, the arguing.
(Obviously Ghost would go over there to try and break Raph out by any means necessary, even when Raph refuses to leave. He didnt want to join his family's biggest enemies but he was angry when he said yes and now he thinks he's in too deep to leave, even despite Ghost's attempts to reason with him)
Which leads to Leo to do something really, really, really stupid. Not saying what because major spoilers but it ends with him willingly offering himself up to be taken to another dimension in exchange for his family being spared the same fate.
What would happen to him there? Ghost doesnt know.
But that swirling white portal, his child being handcuffed and pushed through despite how hard everyone, Ghost included, is begging for this not to happen, no matter how hard he fights against his own restraints he cant free himself, it breaks something inside him.
All he can do is watch helplessly as Leo disappears into a portal, just like he did when he was sixteen himself, presumably to never be seen again.
Leo is gone for an entire month.
An entire of Ghost obsessively working on the portal with Donnie, trying so so hard to get it to work so they can find him. A month of trying to keep the family together and comfort his poor children who are falling apart at the seams. (Donnie doesnt sleep much anymore, trying so incredibly hard to get the portal working, even moreso than Ghost. Mikey teetering on the verge of a breakdown, going out with April and Casey to search for any signs of Leo every single night. Raph is consumed with guilt, it had been HIS fault that this whole mess happened, and now the poor boy is trying desperately to help his family while also trying to defect from the Footclan, which isnt easy.) A month of searching for the people that took Leo away, a month of hoping and praying that Leo was alright.
And then Leo comes home, with a white samurai rabbit in tow (Despite everything, Ghost finds it a little amusing that some things never change, even across dimensions)
He's different now. Quieter, not nearly as excited as he used to be. His arms and legs are completely wrapped up in black wrappings, up to the shoulder and upper thighs respectively. And he refuses to take the wrappings off. (He now has a slight limp on his right side, his brothers dont notice it but Ghost absolutely does.) And most importantly he refuses to talk about what happened when they were separated. Always saying "Its nothing." "I dont wanna talk about it." "There's nothing to talk about." "I'm fine."
Ghost is worried about him, obviously something happened. Something bad enough to turn the silly, dorky, hero-wannabe kid into this quiet, reclusive, guarded boy. Usagi knows as well but just says its not his story to tell.
Ghost tries to talk to him but every time he gets brushed off. (He did manage to figure out it somehow involved the Battle Nexus, from the tiny bits of information Leo shared. Though he highly doubts it was the same Battle Nexus he used to know) All he can do is provide comfort whenever Leo seeks him out, usually late at night and usually the result of a nightmare. (Which have become much much more frequent, only adding to Ghost's worry)
And unfortunately Leo is not the only one going through hell.
Because not long after Leo's return and Raph finally leaving the Footclan, Mikey gets captured. It would be bad enough if it was Shredder or the Krang. But it is so much worse and makes Ghost's blood run cold.
Mikey was captured by the EPF.
Ghost vividly remembers how a similar situation happened to him and his own Michelangelo. (How Mikey was almost dissected in front of him, how his own mid was torn apart for all the world to see. Bishop...)
The family hurriedly breaking into the EPF lab, hoping that they'll find Mikey in time.
They didnt.
Mikey wasnt as lucky as Ghost's Michelangelo.
Bishop, that sick twisted bitch, actually cut Mikey open.
Ghost's worst fear had been realized.
(Ghost never wants to see Mikey's bloody plastron and exposed ribcage ever again for as long as he lives. Watching his frantic heart gradually slow the more blood gushed out.)
And it only gets worse
Because Mikey, in a desperate last ditch effort to try and escape, he somehow activated a part of the curse that no one knew they had.
The ability to transform.
He had turned into a massive DRAGON made entirely of shadows (the only reason they knew it was him was because of the bright orange markings on the shadow dragon's body.)
And the dragon went on a rampage, obliterating the EPF lab including majority of the staff. (Unfortunately Bishop survived, which was a shame) and once the lab was destroyed it attacked New York, trying to tear everything apart in blind fear and panic. (Those terrified screeches will haunt Ghost for the rest of his life.)
It nearly killed them all trying to calm Mikey back down enough to get him home and stitched up. (And then clinging to Ghost like a scared koala for a very long time, not like Ghost can blame him.) And the worst part of this whole Dragon affair? Mikey cant CONTROL IT.
So that means the second his emotions get out of control, here comes the terrified dragon that will lash out at anyone perceived as a threat. (Which is anything that moves.)
And each time Mikey is beating himself up with immense guilt and fear that he will hurt the people he loves.
This is only the tip of the Solar Flare trauma train.
There will be more. (Raph and Donnie are gonna get their's too. So will April, Casey, and Splinter)
Other traumatic/weird events include:
Donnie getting kidnapped by Karai, which leads to April and their parents getting kidnapped. Which leads to April getting thrown off a building and Karai losing her entire arm. April is only 13 in this au btw so oh boy Karai better fucking run because once GHOST hears about that she might lose more than an arm.
Leo gets turned into a cat
Raph and Mikey get kidnapped by clowns
The boys get captured by an alien bounty hunter and taken to a completely different galaxy. Poor Ghost is gonna have an absolute heart attack.
The boys bring home a giant sea monster and keep it as a pet in the sewers. (They name it Jeffrey. Ghost left them alone for five minutes HOW DID THEY DO THIS?!?!)
Both RAPH AND LEO get thrown through the window in the Krang invasion. And Raph ends up in a coma (Leo already had his turn in a coma) Ghost having an absolute heart attack reliving this awful moment TWICE.
April's parents find out about the turtles (and later their paternal grandparents find out when the fam go to stay at their farmhouse)
The turtles are gonna be stuck in a timeloop for an entire month. (The entire month leading up to the Krang Invasion. They went from having a month to prevent it to only having a day and a half. Which is why the invasion happens.) Ghost will never forget that look of pure dread on his kids's faces when they looked up at the blood red sky filled with krangships. This is exactly what he didnt want to happen, his kids having to grow up too fast and get into problems far too big for them.
Also bonus: the turtles first meet Casey by literally RUNNING HIM OVER. The kids call Ghost frantically saying that they "accidently murdered someone what do we do?"
Poor Ghost, poor traumatized turtles
Lol
