TMNT HEADCANNONS/DRABBLES
A bit of x reader too I suppose
IDK I JUST FEEL LIKE WRITING SOME BS (Some of this might just be me projecting)
All characters are 18+ Adult mutant ninja turtles.
β’ He's always got a front on whether he realizes it or not. The Leo that everyone seems to follow with fierce loyalty is actually not him at all, it's only part of him. His Leader role is a mere front to his real softer and more vulnerable side of himself that he protects from being hurt.
β’ He feels more like himself in his room. Where he isn't constantly pressured into always doing the right thing and being a perfect role model for his brothers.
He even has quite a few things in his room that would seem childish, like Mikey level childish that make him feel not so mature and grown up all the time
These things include various stuffed animals (his favorite being a dolphin plush he found and sewed back together), action figures from space heroes, and even a few children's books that Master Splinter used to read to him and his brothers when they were younger.
You may think he is an age regressor but he would deny it and would never admit he'd do such a thing but who knows!
β’ His love language would probably be Physical affection and quality time.
He'd want to cuddle with you while watching shows or going on patrol routes with you, having conversations about anything and everything and not just surface level convos, deep and meaningful convos.
β’ A funny thing about Leo is that nobody seems to be able to catch him eating or sleeping. The brothers will ask "wait did you eat?" And he'd reply that he did already. It's not that Leo DOESN'T eat or sleep he just does it when everyone else is distracted or busy so that he is uninterrupted by duties or responsibilities.
β’ Sleeps like he's in a freaking coffin. Completely straight, hands on his chest and on his back, with the blankets up to his chin. One time Mikey gave everyone a huge scare when he claimed that Leo was dead because of the way he looked while sleeping
β’ When he's bored and seemingly doesn't have much to do he will clean... A LOT he'll organize and reorganize EVERYTHING. He'll even try to clean his brothers rooms claiming "A clear environment promotes a clear mind" Donnie let him but Raph refused, Mikey on the other hand absolutely let Leo in to clean but was a control freak about everything "No wait those comics HAVE to be on the floor by my bed!" "No wait that pizza is still good!!" He'd protest so much to the point that Leo gave up and returned to his own clear room to sharpen and clean his swords
β’ Cannot stress enough how beautiful you are, he's constantly just staring at you, not in a creepy way but in a "wow that's mine" kind of way, he loves you dearly and wants you to know that.
β’ May not be very affectionate around his family/others but when you two are alone he's all over you, he's always giving you forehead kisses, and hand kisses.
When he kisses it's rough but not physically rough, it's emotionally rough, when he's with you he feels like he can be himself he doesn't feel pressure. Is actually a really good kisser and after getting comfortable enough he'll use his tongue.. everywhere.
β’ Seems to attract animals very VERY well, he's almost ALWAYS coming back to the lair with a new little pet that he just couldn't leave behind. He takes good care of them too.
β’ Raph. has. floor. time. The others don't exactly understand what's so beneficial about laying/sleeping on the ground but Raph claims that it has helped him quite a bit with his anger problems. Maybe he wants to punch the shit out of something? He lays on the ground. Gets pissed that Leo sidelined him? He's on the ground. Pretty much any anger issue he has is dissolved once he's in his room on the floor.
β’ Eats more than anyone (except for Mikey) he is the second most hungry turtle in the group and you know what he's good at cooking too! You would think Mikey or even Leo would be the good cooks but nuh uh it's Raph.
He's a bit embarrassed about it because the idea of cooking seems so tame and doesn't do it often even though Mikey practically BEGS for Raph to make him chocolate cake or Mac n cheese (and no not from a box everything he cooks with is an ingredient)
When Raph does cook it alerts everyone, April always demands that Leo or Donnie call her IMMEDIATELY when they know Raph is cooking, even Casey and Master Splinter absolutely adore Raph's cooking and after he's done he always says "yeah well don't get used to it" but it secretly pleases him that he can make something that his whole family loves
β’ Raph's love language is gift giving and words of affirmation, if you give him something (especially if it's hand made) he will be a spluttering blushing mess holding the gift very gently all the gifts you give him are nearly arranged on his shelf.
Any kind of encouragement or gentle words of praise or telling him he's handsome REALLY strokes his ego he'll act all tough but inside he's a blushing mess.
β’ Sometimes during the day he'll randomly grab you and kiss you roughly and walk away like nothing happened. He is big on getting a reaction out of you and not doing anything about it afterwards
β’ Raph is BIG on kissing you anywhere and everywhere, he doesn't care if it's in front of anyone else, he WILL be giving you the biggest smooch
β’ His room is smaller than all of his brothers which pisses him off but he always makes the most of it.
Tries to keep it clean but some days he's just too done from missions to do anything about it.
Secretly loves to decorate his room, he always collects stuff to hang on his walls or ceiling.
Has so many posters he taped to his walls that his walls are no longer visible.
β’ Him and Mikey know how to dance really well all kinds of street and hip-hop dances they know them and have choreographed a lot of dances to different songs.
β’ Despite his appearance he is actually very vain, probably cares more about his looks than any of the others. He always keeps his hygiene perfect to a T and even has a few human outfits he likes to try on in the comforts of his room when he's alone.
Perhaps it's because he is more insecure about his appearance than anyone else especially when he gets with you. I mean who would want to be in a relationship with a mutant talking turtle let alone kiss or hug him?
This makes him less confident in himself and his appearance, so he tries to compensate in his smarts and personality.
β’ Extremely interesting in animal biology, behavior, and environments. He finds It very intriguing how they live and act, he's often asking Raph if he could give his pets a check up which Raph eventually agrees to.
β’ Donnie is the most likely to feel most left out from the group sometimes, he is mostly a middle child anyways since Leo and Raph are close in age to the point they might as well both be the oldest and Mikey is the youngest, putting Donnie right in the middle where it can be hard to relate to his other brothers.
This includes smarts as well everything Donnie finds exciting or wants to talk about is usually not understood by his brothers and he ends up having no one to talk to about his chemical experimentations or his newest motherboard for a computer.
β’ Donnie keeps a LOT of notebooks shoved underneath his bed, you might think they're all just silly little science notes but actually most of them are his diaries hes written in since he could write and read. Most of them are very very personal and he's never read them to anyone.
He may only show them to you if he really REALLY trusts you
β’ He is the coldest turtle.
Being a mutant turtle is harsh, Donnie and his brothers cannot generate their own body heat and have to stay pretty active or have a heater running to keep warm.
But since Donnie is the tallest and leanest of his brothers and does stagnant work in his lab he tends to be very cold and has to wear a beanie hat and scarfs with a sweater to keep warm
β’ His love language is Acts of service and Words of Affirmation
If you ask him if you can help him with any of his science work or just randomly help him clean up his lab he would be absolutely falling all over himself over you.
Like you want to help him with something that's really important to him??
Also if you tell him that he is perfect how is, as a turtle he might just marry you on the spot.
As I said before he is very insecure and would probably constantly ask himself if you really liked him due to him being a mutant turtle.
So when you confirm to him that you truly love him and the way he looks he'd be thrilled and would love you even more.
β’ Has trouble sleeping, he just can't silence his brain sometimes and gets insomnia, he'll sneak into Leo's room and ask him if he can sleep in his room and of course Leo agrees.
β’ Donnie is always nervous when he kisses you, but when he gets comfortable he gets better and better.
He loves to bite your neck and shoulders saying it makes you cuter
He loves hugging you from behind, and nuzzling into the top of your head.
β’ Has wayyyyyyy too many stuffed animals it's actually out of hand, he's got them stuffed under the bed, all over his room and his bed.
β’ Collects comic books and has piles of the he refuses to get rid of scattered around his room
β’ Always getting up for midnight snacks, but he always wakes everyone up because he'll get distracted by ice cream kitty
β’ He's always saying "Look at what I can do!" Or "watch this!!" Before doing either the most amazing trick or stunt his family has ever seen or doing the most pathetic flop of a stunt ever.
β’ Sneaks out more than anyone knows, and somehow comes back without a scratch, and no evidence of him ever being away
He mostly sneaks out to draw graffiti or skate with Casey. He'll also sneak into different restaurants to try their food since he'll never get to try it in broad daylight
β’ The BEST skater anyone has ever seen, he's practiced and perfected it so much to the point he can do dangerous tricks perfectly, and can even use his skate board as a weapon in combat
β’ Actually knows how to paint! Okay.. so maybe it's not the best but it's beautiful in his eyes and it does have its own colorful eccentric look to it. He framed the whole lair with different painted canvases, some with glued on Pepperoni, and macaroni, and he's named them all
β’ His love language is physical affection.
He probably could not go even a day without seeing you and hugging you at least once, he is very clingy and is always asking where you are and what you are doing. It may be tricky telling him you need alone time.
He ALWAYS holds hands with you during a mission, Mikey may be/act all dumb and chill but deep down he feels the deepest out of the turtles, if anything happened to you he wouldn't know what to do.
Because of this he is actually very protective of you but not too much.
β’ He's always checking in asking if you're okay, or if you need to talk or cuddle. Sure he's pretty needy but he also remembers that you have needs too.
β’ Somehow he ALWAYS has snacks on him, no one knows where he stores it, he just pulls them out of nowhere.
β’ Mikey probably has the most sloppiest kisses ever, he'll kiss all over your cheeks, nose forehead, lips, chin and pretty much everywhere else.
He adores how soft you are and always squeezes your arms or legs.
Sometimes when you guys are watching TV late at night he'll rest his head on your lap.
Anywho that's it idk what else to add
