Moonlighting

I saw your post, but don't worry, I won't send more Moon questions until you've answered the last ones since I did some just OC questions on that ask unprompted. THIS ONE IS FOR DOMI. MY BESTEST GIRL

What's her favorite hobby? What does she like to do the most in her free time? When does she has the most free time/what's the least busy part of her week?

Does she have a job, how stable is her home?

I NEED A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THIS GIRL RN, all the personality quirks. Not the physical description since I've seen the ART. Which you ate up, btw

What is her biggest pet peeve?

How comfortable is she with her own appearance?

Does she have any mental health struggles?

If she could have her dream job/life, what would that look like? Personal and professional life

I know she has a physical disability, (her knee has chronic issues for anyone reading who doesn't know that), but what does she do to make it feel better? How does she take care of herself? And a little bit of a ship question, but how does Donnie take care of her?

Has she ever thought about getting a service animal? Off that question, what is her favorite animal?

What's her love language? How does she best receive love?

Ok, I'll stop there, but I love her so much, and can't wait to hear all about it! Feel free to answer these for whatever iteration you feel like, I'll be happy with any of them!

So based on the knee injury questions I'll answer these for Rise (the only other iteration she has a knee injury is 2012 and I haven't decided if the injury is gonna be permanent). The art in question of mine is this WIP I posted earlier. @sooahbites also has done some absolutely wonderful Rise!Domi art here. But yes, Domi is bestest girl (I definitely don’t say this about all of my girls), I love her a lot.

1: (What's her favorite hobby? What does she like to do the most in her free time? When does she have the most free time/what's the least busy part of her week?)

Her favorite hobby is probably gaming. She's really into horror and cozy games. She'll play the occasional other game (mostly that Donnie convinces her to try).

What she likes to do the most in her free time is inventing in the lab with Donnie. He shows her up and that bothers her from time to time, but more often than not she just likes doing something she loves close to the person she loves the most.

And the least busy part of her week is Friday-Sunday because she clears that time for Donnie and/or the others. She'll work on projects during those days, but they're mostly reserved for shenanigans with the boys.

2: (Does she have a job, how stable is her home?) In Rise she does not have a job in the most traditional sense. Pre-canon and early canon she works with the Purple Dragons, doing coding jobs and getting a cut of the money that they make off of it. When she leaves the Dragons, she mostly avoids working for a while. After that while, she starts taking coding jobs online. Not completely above board but she does make money when she wants to. (Fun fact, the only iteration she has a traditional job in is 2007, where she works at a convenience store to help pay for college.)

With how stable her home is, it's not. This next little bit is off of two things I made separately so if it's unclear let me know, I can clarify anything.

Felix (Toolbox for those who kept up with Domi's other iterations' lore) is Domi's brother. So Felix is rather strict about how she behaves (she has to be quiet and subdued), it comes from mimicking how their parents raised him and how they were raising her before their deaths. Which leads to her constantly feeling suffocated. On top of that, she's been taking care of Felix since she was nine (and her grandmother since she was thirteen). From taking over household work because her brother had to put more hours in at work, to literally taking work to pay for their needs after Felix's accident because he couldn't work. She's felt more responsibility to care for her family than she She feels a lot of responsibility toward her family, but there isn't a lot of love and care.

Domi not understanding the importance Donnie puts on his family (because she can't mentally put that importance on hers) is actually a huge point of contention in their early relationship. They even temporarily break up because of it.

3: (I need a full description of this girl rn, all the quirks.) Let's see, where to start?

1: She is against eye contact but if it is made, it is intense eye contact. 2: Star/space themes everything that she can. 3: Can recite anything that she's read, but her memory with things that she's told is worse. 4: She is ambidextrous, favoring her left hand if she does favor one. 5: Her nails have to be cut short all of the time or she won't stop picking at them. 6: Short tempered when stressed. 7: The little blep with her tongue while focusing counts here, right?

These are what I can think of currently. There might be more, but I think these are the ones you see the most often.

4: (What is her biggest pet peeve?)

She has lots of complaints about how people do/say things. Genuinely if you ask her she'd tell you that stupid people are her biggest pet peeve.

Now in an actual answer to the question because in my great power I know what her biggest pet peeve is, her biggest pet peeve is people trying to tell her what's best for her. She's had someone telling her what's "best" for her as long as she can remember and she can't stand it. Her brother is the most frequent offender, but she can't stand it from anybody.

5: (How comfortable is she with her own appearance?)

So Domi's always been comfortable with her appearance, despite minor bullying for some of her features when she was younger (middle school). She does however, like it better when part of her hair is dyed. Ama (the leader of the Purple Dragons when Domi joined) introduced her to the idea and actually dyed her hair the first time (which was a dark blue). Domi cut her hair from mid-back length and dyed it the magenta that we see for her first introduction right before her first introduction. She didn't want her hair long anymore, so she got it chopped off before coming back to school.

6: (Does she have any mental health struggles?)

So Domi has generalized anxiety disorder and depression, both of which are unmedicated when she first joins the crew. Between Raph and April, they convinced her to go see someone when she was having a pretty bad depressive spiral. She's now medicated and managing the best she can with both. Everybody checks in occasionally to make sure that she's keeping up with her meds or if she needs anything (Leo checking in is more antagonizing but that's their relationship dynamic).

7: (If she could have her dream job/life, what would that look like? Personal and professional life?)

So, Domi's dream job/life is actually surprisingly sweet considering how practical she was about her future before meeting the boys. She would be a well known astronomer, married to Donnie, and the boys are free to live how they please. Before the Invasion that was to be free in the Hidden City, after it was New York City now that it's a haven for humans and Yokai alike.

8: (I know she has a physical disability, (her knee has chronic issues), but what does she do to make it feel better? How does she take care of herself? And a little bit of a ship question, but how does Donnie take care of her?)

Domi is on medication and goes to physical therapy for managing her injury. She built herself a brace that helps minimize pain (as much as it can) while moving and she will stay in when it’s acting up too much.

She is terrible about doing her exercises when she’s having a hard day/week and Donnie knows this. He’s taken to asking her about it and she’s honest with him after a while. When she says no, he gently (sometimes not gently if she’s still refusing) prod her into doing her exercises. He always has treats or ice cream for once it’s done so she’s not as unhappy about it. He knows overall that she’s happy someone cares enough to keep up with it and help her, so he pushes when he needs to. He also praises her when she says she has, which she adores and has been the reason she's done it before despite not wanting to.

9: (Has she ever thought about getting a service animal? Off that question, what is her favorite animal?)

So the better answer to this question is that I've never thought about it. I would have to do some research but she's not opposed to the idea. Something I will definitely look into and maybe work into later parts of her story (season two and beyond).

10: (What's her love language? How does she best receive love?)

So there's two answers to this question solely because you absorb information like a sponge so you'll like hearing it.

The answer she tells people is words of affirmation. Now don't get me wrong, she loves being complimented, loves being verbally appreciated in a way that doesn't feel backhanded.

I REACHED 100 FOLLOWERS!!!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING ME GET TO THE BIG 100!! LOTS OF LOVE

Crim ♥️

"You're not being arrested," The agent in front of them repeats for the hundredth time. "You're not being interrogated. This isn't an interrogation. It's an interview. We're gathering information on what happened tonight."

"That's what I'd say if I was interrogating someone," Steve shrugs. He turns to Robin and says, "That's how they get you."

"We're not trying to 'get you,' we-"

"They want to frame up for the mall burning down," Robin accuses. "You think you're so smart with your mind tricks. Well, we solved a Russian code with-"

"Robin."

"Oh," She's stops. Narrows her eyes. "Tricky."

"You already told us about the - what did you call it? The Mind Flayer."

"The flesh monster."

"Yes."

"We signed an NDA about upside down bullshit already so we talked about it. This is different. Duh."

Robin echoes, "Duh."

"Okay," The agent says. "Just tell up what happened when you were underground and-"

"Not without a lawyer."

The agent sighs.

The agent thinks they should've went to nursing school like their mother wanted.

The agent thinks the lord above that Mr Harrington and Miss Buckley's lawyer - Mr Harrington (father) - finally finished filling out his paperwork.

Steve's father looks pissed right up until he sees his son beaten half to hell. He opens his mouth to ask what the fuck happened when Steve turns to the agent.

Hopper has grown to accept that he will not have an uninterrupted lunch until this unattended five year old goes to college because, "Hello?"

"Hi," Steve says. "I went to your house and I didn't see no microwave. Did you know I went to your house?"

"Yes."

"You weren't there 'cause you were at work," He informs him. "I think you should get a microwave."

"I got this for you," Steve says before dumping what looks like six dollars and some change on the table. "It'll help."

Hopper frowns, "Help with what?"

"Getting a microwave," He sighs. "Do you know how to listen?"

"Kid-"

"Baby Sara is too little to use the stove," Steve says. "I know that 'cause I’m not allowed to use the stove and I’m bigger than her."

Well. "...What?"

"Tommy - he's my best friend, 'member? - he's older than me and even he's not allowed to use the stove," Steve continues. "And Tommy don't have a microwave neither but it's okay 'cause his mom lives there all day and he's got a lot of big brothers that can use the stove. Sara doesn't have a big brother 'cept for me, kinda, and I can't-"

"Can't use the stove, got it."

"Right," He nods. "That's why you need a microwave. So Sara won't be hungry."

"Sara is never hungry," Hopper says slowly. "If she is, I get her something to eat."

"You work a lot."

"She also has a mother."

"Well, sometimes mamas heads hurt and they can't make food or they'll throw up," Steve says. "Sometimes mamas are busy too and then Sara's gonna be really hungry. She might cry."

Hopper pushes the rest of his fries across the table to the kid before asking, "Are you hungry a lot when you're at home?"

Anyway, the first one is what is this lovely OC's name??? How'd you pick it, and what does it mean?

Where do they come from? A general backstory maybe???

How do Mikey and this person meet? Do they have any powers? What kind of person are they?

What's the first thing that made them realize how well they work together/click as a couple and as people?

What does this person look like? What does their voice sound like?

Are they type A or type B? How does that work with Mikey as a person?

Do they have any family? Who are they closest with, and does Mikey (and his brothers) get along with them?

What's their most precious possession, and is there an item that is important to their relationship/something that fits their relationship perfectly? (if that question doesn't make sense feel free to ignore it)

Now for the ship questions from the list you reblogged (I'm just going to type them out to make it simpler for you since this is long and complicated already)

Who says I love you first, and how?

2. Who is more likely to start chaos "for the vine" & who films it?

3. Who gets jealous more easily, & how obvious are they about it?

4. How do they celebrate each other's birthdays?

5. What's the most chaotic thing they've done together on pure impulse?

Ok! I'll stop there since it's already a lot. But I will be back with more sooner or later lololol. Happy planning!

What is your fascination with that window? I didn't even know it was there until you showed up. I moved the questions around a little, but all of them get answered. 5 is now the first question that gets answered in the OC questions and then it goes on as it was before.

(OC questions)

1: (What does this person look like? What does their voice sound like?)

So Picrews above are what she looks like, but here's a little more detail that those don't show (the second one is further into the story so we're ignoring the scar for right now). She has a small scar right below her shoulder from knife training with Taylor (one of the 14), a few scars on her hands from various training accidents. Her muscle mass is more lean muscle, but she's still muscular (strict training and diet will do that to a person). Honestly, I have thought about her voice more than the others. Not to like voice claim or anything, but I always hear Lana Parrila's teenage Regina Mills (Once Upon a Time).

2: (Anyway, the first one is what is this lovely OC's name??? How'd you pick it, and what does it mean?)

Her name is Diana McCoy. So "Moon", Diana's nickname, came up before her name did. I have her first interaction with Mikey planned (where she got the nickname). I wanted her name to be space themed so I went with Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and hunt. It also fits well with the fact that she's part of the EPF's Anti-Mutant Taskforce (more on that later). And McCoy? That one is based off of a character. One that's also associated with the color blue. You get the ref, you get a prize.

3: (Where do they come from? A general backstory maybe???)

So I've been doing a lot of thinking on this one. Moon's parents died when she was around 4 years old. There was a break-in and her mom hid her in the hall closet. Through the cracks in the door (y'all know those doors that a ton of slits instead of solid wood?), she was able to see the people who broke in kill her parents. Not well because it was dark, but clear enough to traumatize her. Nobody found her until after the attackers had left, and that was by the police who were called because of the gunfire. She bounced around foster homes for a while until she was picked up my Bishop's second in command around 13 years old. She was put into what would later turn into the EPF's (Earth Protection Force) training program. There were 14 children between the ages of 12 and 16. Those 14 spent the next 4 years being trained into elite soldiers that followed Bishop's orders without question. Then the Invasion happened, and with the Invasion came Yokai being revealed to the humans of New York. The EPF became a funded operation to "help Yokai and humans come together safely".

4: (How do Mikey and this person meet? Do they have any powers? What kind of person are they?)

As the perfect segue, the EPF heading up the efforts for Yokai and humans to get along is how Moon met the Turtles. After the initial help that the EPF do, the Turtles agree to join the team working on the efforts. She has no powers, just a human with a lot of military training. Very strong physically and her endurance as great, but nothing superhuman by the time that she meets the Turtles. I'll be entirely honest, she's a very dry person at the beginning. Doing what she needs to do and following orders, since the EPF doesn't really encourage having a personality of your own. She's very literal and serious, and Mikey makes it his goal to make her smile. Through this friendship she starts warming up, learning things that she loves, gaining more of her own thoughts, and rediscovering her personality that was buried under all of the training.

5: (What's the first thing that made them realize how well they work together/click as a couple and as people?)

So they often get paired together because Bishop refused for any of the Turtles to end up in groups together (paranoia go brrr), and she was the only one that could keep Mikey on goal. Once Mikey focused up, the two worked well together, insanely well. Bishop started putting them on missions solely because they could do them quickly and efficiently. Them clicking as a couple and as people came about six months into the task force, which is when they all started spending more time together without something directly work related.

6: (Are they Type A or Type B? How does that work with Mikey as a person?)

Moon is super Type A originally and thanks to everything being very planned out with the Task Force, she has no idea how Type B Mikey is. For a while, she could not stand how free spirited he was. That does improve though, don't worry. She gets tips from Raph and Donnie.

7: (Do they have any family? Who is she closest with; and does Mikey, and his brothers, get along with them?)

I answered the "does she have family" part in the general backstory, so onto the next part! Two members of the task force are the people she's closest with, Taylor and Erik. All of the guys get along with Taylor, he's easy to get along with, but most of them don't get along with Erik. Erik's difficult, quiet, and aggressive. Erik really only gets along with Moon and Taylor until considerably later.

8: (What's their most precious possession, and is there an item that is important to their relationship/something that fits their relationship perfectly?)

So for a bit of context, Moon’s goal is to protect the innocent. Help people that can’t save themselves.

In a moment of vulnerability on both of their parts, Moon tells Mikey about this goal. He says she wants to be a guardian angel. She says no, angels are the winged babies that create Valentine’s Day (gotta love limited internet access and the adults in your life being dodgy about most things). So he tells her he meant the other angels, the warriors with blades made for striking down the enemy. It leaves her with something to think about and he sketches out a drawing of a sword with wings coming out of the hilt. He convinces (annoys) Domi (another of my OCs) to make the drawing a charm that he could put on a chain. He gives Moon the necklace saying that it’ll help remind her of her goal while she’s out. That she’s a guardian angel, his guardian angel.

(Ship questions)

1: (Who says I love you first, and how?)

So this is actually a super depressing story, buckle up. A little context that I'll go into it more in a different post, where it's the focus. The EPF has a certain kind of control programming in all 14 of the original members of the Anti-Mutant Task Force. Moon was fighting the EPF’s control on her after being forced to attack the Turtles and the Yokai that were attending a peace event. Mikey was struggling the believe her, that what had happened before wasn’t really her. She pleaded with him until finally reaching the end of her rope. In that last moment before she lost and the EPF took back over, she screamed that she loved him. Screamed so loud that that’s how the others found them.

2: (Who is more likely to start chaos "for the vine" & who films it?)

Mikey is more likely to start chaos "for the vine" and Moon films it. She actually got in trouble for the first time in the Task Force because Mickey started pranking people and she just watched him. Didn't stop him or even attempt to, just watched with a smile and a feeling she couldn't identify.

3: (Who gets jealous more easily & how obvious are they about it?)

So the answer is Mikey. He's not like insanely jealous, but she's oblivious to most advances. What she does notice? When he gets jealous. She thinks it's random and is always quick to reassure him. He brightens up immediately and she's just oblivious until considerably later on.

Now, on the note of how obvious Mikey is. He is the most obvious you've ever seen, as long as you know how he normally is. It's more subtle but still obvious for the people it's directed at, but his brothers especially clock that shit a mile away. He gets quiet and stiff, that family RBF (reference Donnie and Leo if you need a visual) on full display.

4: (How do they celebrate each other's birthdays?)

Mikey: Mikey goes all out. Presents (normally 2-3 since more would make her uncomfortable), a small gathering, food and cake, the works. He does everything he can to make her feel loved and seen.

Moon: His brothers have been planning the parties for a lot longer than she's known them, so she leaves that to them. She gives a few gifts and takes him to get breakfast when he wakes up. They take a walk (normally through the flower garden that was planted through the Inter-species Cooperation Group) and just spend some quality time together. She tries to bake but that normally goes badly.

5: (What's the most chaotic thing they've done together on pure impulse?)

I also love what you're doing with the EPF in rise, I've wanted to add them into my AU too lol.

Paranoia go brrrrrrr lmao. AND THE NECKLACE THING IS SO FUCKING CUTE WHAT THE FUCK

And yesss, the family RBF, the twins have that shit perfected.

The necklace has so much importance to her and them as a couple when I finish the drawing it’s getting a whole post.

The whole family has the RBF, the twins just have it perfected. Honestly might draw that at some point because I think it’s funny.

And I don’t have your prize ready just yet, so take this little squeeshy Moon in the meantime

She tries to bake but that normally goes badly.

5: (What's the most chaotic thing they've done together on pure impulse?)

I also love what you're doing with the EPF in rise, I've wanted to add them into my AU too lol.

Paranoia go brrrrrrr lmao. AND THE NECKLACE THING IS SO FUCKING CUTE WHAT THE FUCK

And yesss, the family RBF, the twins have that shit perfected.

For Donnie and Domi, my beloveds! I adore them so much, they’re the cutest. 2012 or 2018, I’d love to hear about either ❤️❤️❤️

🩰 🌿 🕰️ 🧩 😤 💞 💌

Welcome back, lots of questions is good

This was originally gonna be both iterations but I was hitting such a hard block with Rise that there are just some bonus answers for Rise :)

2012

🩰 (Slow dancing in the kitchen at 3am, who starts it?)

Domi 100% of the time at the start. Donnie’s been up for a long time working, he’s stressed. She’s there to help or because she’s temporarily staying with them (a story for another time). She pulls him up and they dance to imaginary music, sometimes once they start Donnie will turn something on. I'd say about a year/two years into their romantic relationship, Donnie picks up pulling her to dance when they're both up late.

🌿 (Do they want kids/pets/plants together? What do they name them?)

Domi gets a bunny when she's seventeen, and Donnie helps care for Sirius (bunny) when he's at her apartment.

So on the topic of kids, I've had this idea floating around in my head for a little bit. We can thank @beansketches for that honestly. (For context, this happens when the Turtles are 24 and Domi is 25.) Okay, so Donnie found the Kraang facility where they were trying to recreate the Turtles before they got sent back to Dimension X. The lab had been abandoned for a long time, but the research they had already done was still there. In that lab were the tools they would need to create genetic clones if they could get the sequence right. After some talking with Domi, Donnie decided to do some research of his own. If he didn’t find anything, then it wasn’t meant to be. But he did find something, he figured out how to safely create genetic clones of them. Him and Domi have two babies, one boy and one girl (not at the same time, three years apart).

🕰️ (If they could go back in time, what moment would they relive together?)

Hmmmm... this answer might change as I get further into planning their post-canon lore, but I have a current answer. The first time they saw each other in person. It wasn't long after the Invasion was over, Donnie was dealing with the emotional and mental aftermath of the Farmhouse Arc. Domi had just gotten home since New York was no longer isolated. They met up and they were both just able to be at peace in each other's presence. Quiet of the night, and they were able to just be together.

🧩 (What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?) So these two are the type that find most of the things that the other does adorable. So I'm just going with the things they find the most adorable.

Donnie: Domi folds origami when bored, so he'll just finds all sorts of paper things around the lab if she isn't busy and he is.

Domi: The little blep Donnie does while he's working (tongue sticking out)

😤 (Who apologizes first after a fight, even if they weren't wrong?)

It's more Domi than Donnie, but Donnie will. Most of the time they don't get to the point where they're both so mad that they can't admit fault in an argument. If they do fight to the point that they can't have a rational conversation, Domi will take a step away. Originally that made Donnie think that she didn't care if the argument got resolved, but he figured out that the space did them both good. That they were less likely to get angry to the point of potentially hurting each other if they take space. Very healthy of them, I know. They get hit with The Horrors TM, don't worry.

💕 (How do they act when one of them is sick?)

Domi: Domi is practical but also very flittery. She can do all of the things that are needed when caring for Donnie, but she does a lot of hovering and making sure that he's drinking enough water. His medicine is coming exactly on time because she's timing it to the minute.

Donnie: Donnie is very practical in caring for Domi when sick. He's been taking care of his brothers (with Splinter's help) for a while. So he knows what to do and how to gentle care for her, since she is allergic to accepting help from people (something something side-effect of having to take care of herself for so long).

💌 (Who leaves little love notes & where do they hide them?)

Both of them. Domi and Donnie spent the first part of their friendship emailing back and forth so they would send each other notes. Once they were seeing each other in person, Domi would leave notes in his desk or around the lab. Donnie slips them into her backpack, leaves them in her room if he's at her apartment, texts/emails the notes while she's getting ready for things.

Fun tidbit: In both 03 and 2012 Domi takes her driver's test after meeting the Turtles and Donnie helps her study and leaves her a sweet message saying that she is gonna ace the test.

(Extras for 2018)

🩰 (Slow dancing in the kitchen at 3am, who starts it?)

I’d say it’s pretty 50/50. They're both working late into the night and early mornings

💌 (Who leaves little love notes & where do they hide them?)

I am here for more questions. Isla and Donnie pretty pls. 2012 and/or 2018(Rise).

I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THEM AND I WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY GONNA BE QUESTIONS FROM THE SHIP HEADCANONS LIST BUT I REALIZED THIS AND AM NOW SHAKING THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE OVER HERE.

OK THAT'S MY BAD. How about I start with some info on Isla? (These are the general/across all iterations ones. I'll go in depth on the other later) So her name is pronounced (Eye-luh). She's hispanic, specifically from Spain. Her birthday is July 17th. She's hoh, from an infection that she got when she was younger that went untreated. She has a baby sister, five years younger than her named Marisol. Her mom died of breast cancer when she was six, and she's very close with her dad. Her full name is Isla Sofiá Abril. And she struggles with an ED because of guilt of not having enough food despite how much her dad works. It was too hard for them after her mom died, and she was taking care of her baby sister. So she felt a lot of guilt around food, knowing if she ate, it would take away from her sister. All my girls struggle with mental health issues, mb girl.

Now for the Rise specific facts.

First her appearance: Height:5'3 ; Hair color/type: Coffee brown with caramel highlights, and coiled curly hair; Eye color: brown ; Skin Tone/type: honey ; Face shape: round ; Birthmarks: a small slightly lopsided heart behind her right ear. Her mother called it her special protection mark (matches Donnie's shell a lil bit);

She and Donnie had actually met a few times online while faking their ages and documents to take classes they weren't old enough for/didn't have the right documents for. Not old enough for Isla, and both for Donnie. And they don't figure out that they had those classes together, and were the ones debating in the class chats until much later

They end up meeting through one of the purple dragon's schemes. Donnie had found out they were up to something, and took April to go stop them, to find them trying to steal Isla's tech. They immediately click, though claim it's just as friends. And they exchange numbers once it's over, and start texting. Then they start meeting up, and eventually he shows her the lair.

She has scars around her ears from the infection damaging her skin, and she also later gets a semi-colon tattoo for Donnie once she learns about his depression, and suicidal thoughts (post-movie).

She wants to be a computer programmer when she's older along with coding, and she also designs apps in her free time.

Her hobbies include crochet/knitting; Embroidery, true crime podcasts. She likes to knit/crochet (mostly crochet cause she prefers it) Donnie sweaters, gloves, scarfs and such out of the soft yarn he likes. She also sewed him a purple jacket one time, and embroidered a mad dogz design on the back for him

Her nicknames include Izzy, Isa, and Donnie calls her Lala

Other than Donnie, she gets along best with Raph since they like to sit and do things together, or talk quietly through ASL. Raph eventually even gets to where he feels like he can vent to her

As for the 2012 facts for her

They meet while he's out looking for mutagen early season 2. He quite literally runs into her while he's chasing down a canister of mutagen. They see each other again by accident on patrol two nights after while she's on the balcony of their apartment. And he finds himself drawn back there again and again as his mental health gets worse due to what's going on with April, and his guilt over what happened. Isla helps him through it, and that's how their relationship begins and starts to flourish

He has a plethora of pet names for her in this iteration, but her only actual nickname from Donnie is Isa. Mikey calls her Izzy, and every else calls her Isla

She gets along the best with Mikey since they're both creative, and love finding new crafts to do together spur of the moment when she comes over, and Donnie ends up being busy. It typically ends with them making a mess, but it's fine, and they end up laughing the whole time they clean it up too

Her hobbies include painting, drawing, cooking, crochet, and sewing (her and Leo bond by him joining her and Willow in the kitchen, and sometimes just her and him if Willow's busy or too tired to cook)

Her and Willow also sew together sometimes

She comes over like it's her second home, far less reserved here. This also helps her tremendously with her ED, being around them, and so much less guilt and it's a lighter atmosphere all together. So all she has to do is make food for her sister at home. It takes a lot of the weight off of eating, and off of her to provide for them

She ends up teaching all three of Donnie's brothers ASL, because they ask her to, especially since she doesn't always wear her hearing aids since they cause her discomfort, and it's harder for her to read their lips than human's lips. Donnie already knew ASL

She's really into documentaries, true crime, nature, any of them

As for her appearance, she looks the same, but just a little taller

She does get mutated into a wolf-hybrid in this iteration. And her fur colors are black and two tones of brown, like her hair

I think that's plenty about just her. Um... I'll only get into a few ship headcanons since I've blabbed enough. But if you have any specific questions, or if you want to just hear me rant about them more, you can let me know, and I'll do another one of these. I'll blab about any of my girls tbh LMAO

Rise

Donnie tends to make her little things since he's not good with words, so he shows his affection in that way. He also shows it by taking care of her, knowing that she hasn't had that much, but that she loves it. So he gets her drinks even when he doesn't need one, pulls out her chair, and opens doors for her, even tho he doesn’t regularly think of these things. He makes it a habit for her to feel loved. He’ll makes her bed for her while he's visiting, sometimes coming over just to convince her to take a nap while he cleans up the apartment before her sister gets home from a friends house. He gets her an old car, and fixes it up for her, so she has her own car to drive. Even giving her money for insurance each month.

He also slips money into her bag for food and other things a lot since she's too proud to just take it from him. She catches on eventually, but is too touched to say anything. He also brings her something any time it makes him think of her, a trinket, jewelry, materials, or on one memorable occasion, a completely bedazzled rabbit statue. All the gems were in the colors of a real rabbit, and she loves rabbits. She had one that she took care of when she was younger, and he later bought her a matching necklace. It was a flat little bunny, that was encrusted with diamonds, and had a tiny emerald for the eye, and he refused to tell her if the gems were real or not, which was honestly enough of an answer itself.

As for Isla, her biggest way of showing Donnie affection is with her words. Now that's not normally how she shows love, but she randomly told him that she was so proud of him one day and saw his face completely change. He lit up, and then cried for an hour after she left. But she realized that his love language is words of affirmation. So she gives him compliments, tells him all the things she loves about him over and over again, and tells him every time she's proud of him, or thinks he's doing a good job. Other than that, she will make him things when he's having a bad day. So she'll made a little cheerful animation of his favorite characters from shows/movies and send it to him. She'll crochet him miniature turtles, one for each type of turtle, him and his brothers. He also has a variety of little things strewn across his desk that she crocheted him at different points. She'll also call him if he seems stressed over text, and will stay on the phone until he falls asleep.

Another fun thing is that they randomly steal each other's clothes since they're a similar size. So Isla will steal his hoodie, and he'll take some of her graphic tees. Everything eventually ends up in the right closet again, but it confuses his brothers when he walks in wearing an oversized t-shirt, and Isla comes by later wearing one of Donnie's hoodies.

Isla collects bracelets, the rubber band ones we all made as kids, metal ones, beads, all of them. And eventually Donnie starts wearing one that she made him on his left wrist since his gauntlet lives on his right arm. And that one turns into four really quick, but it makes him happy when they rustle against each other, and all of the small noises they make are very positively stimulating for him. Beads are his favorite, especially since he can fidget with them. (not projecting with that one at all btw)

I love them a totally normal amount 😀

On a serious note, I love them so much. They’re so cutesie. I love how they take care of each other 🥹

Toddler Mutant Ninja Turtles (Part 39)

I’m back with more questions for 2018 Leo and Stella this time

💥 🌿 🧡 🧩 🌅 💌

It took me forever to find this leaf 👀

General Kenobi

You know you can just come in through the door, right @starlight0825 ? Anyway, apologies on the leaf taking so long to find lololol (it also took me forever to find, damn it). Rise!Stellanardo, they are very dear to me. Probably shown from the amount that I've posted about them 🫡

💥 (What's the biggest risk one of them took for the other that the partner didn't find out about until much later?)

So I had to think about this one for a while. Honestly, it's super cliché, but Leo fought The Master (leader of Organization 14) so that it could buy time for the others to save Stella. It was after they beat Shredder at the end of season two. Stella was given back to Organization 14 by Big Mama after she lost to Donnie (she threw the fight because Donnie needed to be with his brothers). They were already worn out but that didn't stop them from rushing headfirst into the Headquarters of Organization 14. The Master showed up to try stopping them and Leo told the others to go get Stella, that he'd hold him off. Leo barely made it out of that fight alive and he made the others swear not to tell her until she was recovered. She was rightly horrified and angry with him when she figured out (from The Master), more for keeping it than doing it, but she stuck very close to him for a while after.

🌿 (Do they want kids/pets/plants together? What do they name them?)

OKAY SO THIS QUESTION IS A LITTLE LOADED. So Stella gets a puppy that was experimented on by Organization 14 in between the show and the movie (no I don't have an exact time), and Slushy (the puppy) does not like Leo at first. That changes and Slushy loves both of them. I have flirted with the idea of giving them a kid, but I haven't planned that far ahead.

🧡 (What color reminds each of them of the other?)

Stella: Light green

Leo: A tie between yellow and orange

Little extra tidbit of them telling you what their favorite colors.

Stella: "What color reminds me of Leo? So the obvious answer is blue, because he's Leonardo 'blue' Hamato. And technically that isn't wrong, I do think of him when I think of the color blue sometimes but honestly I think of him a lot more often when I see green. A lighter green, similar to grass."

Leo: "Color that reminds me of Stell-Bell? A yellow/orange color, kinda like a sunrise if I have to give a visual. Yup, that's the one."

🧩 (What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?)

Leo: Once she's comfortable, Stella does lots of hand/arm gestures while she's talking. She's conscious of the people in the room (unless very stressed/overwhelmed) so she doesn't really hit people, but it's always indicative of how she's feeling.

Stella: When Leo switches between languages because he's anxious/excited. She thinks it's adorable even though she sometimes has no idea what is being said and he has to reexplain, which he always does with no complaint.

🌅 (Do they go on sunrise/stargazing dates? Which one do they love more?)

They go on both sunrise and stargazing dates, and their favorites are different. Stella prefers sunrise dates while Leo prefers stargazing dates. No it's not because Leo just wants to be asleep when the sun comes up. Stella loves the way that the sunrise paints everything, she similarly loves sunsets for this reason. Leo loves the way she lights up during sunrise, so whenever the day is harder on her, he'll suggest them and watch as she excitedly waits for the sun to rise.

💌 (Who leaves little love notes & where do they hide them?)

I’m here for questions. No, I have questions, and I am here for answers… anyway, Raph and Ash, specifically 2007, I need all of these btw, no skippies

💕 🔥 ☕️ 🌸 😤 🧳

All seriousness tho, no rush, but I can’t wait to hear about them 😁😁

Hello to you too

Gasps, I would never skippies your questions. Or any questions unless they're repeat questions. But 2007 Raphley, my beloveds. This iteration holds a special place in my heart as their first. IDK, just something about it. Anway, I'll stop yapping and get to the answers.

💕 (How do they both realize “oh wait, this is actually love”?) So I touched on who fell first and harder here which did touch on this a bit, but more detail because I have it.

Raph: So words are cheap for Raph, and if you've been on here for any amount of Raphley content, you know about the bonk. (If you're new then Ash grabbed a metal pipe and bonked him on the head while he was in full Nightwatcher gear because he was gonna be somebody to death.) That is when Raph realized he had feelings for Ash, when she stuck her neck out for people who certainly didn't deserve it. She knew full well that he was mid-moment and she could have been hurt. She trusted him and stopped him from doing something he would regret. That was his moment, but it didn't really register until he was at home later. He was patching up his arm and the anger/adrenaline was finally crashing, and it hit him like a freight train. Dropped the mug he was holding and scared the shit outta Donnie.

Ash: For Ash, it was a little harder for her to pinpoint exactly when the feelings started, but the two were on the roof of her apartment building after patrol about seven months after they met when it really hit her that the feeling she was feeling was love. She had bought him a candy bar earlier in the day after she got out of school (Ash is in college in case that wasn't knowledge that was known), and she gave it to him. She heard the change in his voice when he asked about the candy bar, asked why she would get it for him. His voice was softer than she had ever heard it, and it made her feel... at peace. Buying that candy bar, that moment and thinking back on it later, made her realize that she was in love with him.

To recap, Raph's was much less subtle than Ash's. Ash also handled hers like an adult /j (and I cherish the moments when Raph and Donnie interact after he's done being Nightwatcher.)

🔥 (What's the pettiest thing they've ever argued about?)

They have a lot of petty arguments that don't last long, but the pettiest thing they argued about is Raph's lack of nicknames for her. Ash has lots of nicknames for him and she likes using them. Raph is very fond of calling her Ash and that's his term of endearment for her. He occasionally calls her babe, but that's it. They argued about it off and on for over a week. The argument ended when the two were snuggled on the couch and Raph swore up and down that it didn't mean that he didn't love her less, it just wasn't how he shows it. She accepted that and he called her "babe" a little more often because it does make her smile a little wider.

☕️ (Who's the morning person & how do they lure the night owl out of bed?)

To absolutely nobody's surprise, Ash is the morning person and Raph is the night owl. Now, obviously there's a reason for that, but sometimes Ash wants to do things with Raph in the morning.

Mornings where they have to get up are chaotic. She brings him coffee and if that works, easiest case. Most of the time, she brings coffee and he goes back under the covers. She pulls the covers off the bed and he puts the pillow over his head. After the pillow has been taken and he's been hit with it somewhere between 3 and 5 times, he takes the coffee and they start the morning.

🌸 (What nickname do they have for each other that would mortify them if others heard it?)

Okay so this one is actually fairly easy to answer. Raph doesn't have any nicknames for Ash outside of "Ash" and the very rare "babe". Ash on the other hand, has more nicknames for Raph than I can count off the top of my head. "Bread for brains" is probably the one that would mortify him if she said it in front of the others.

Little storytime for how the nickname happened because the answer's rather short: She invited him over to her house for the first time (because her parents were away) and the dumbass saw a baguette and started gnawing on it (with permission). He spent the entire time that he was there either gnawing on bread or talking about the bread. It wasn't a long time, activity he had to deal with, but she did not let him live it down.

😤 (Who apologizes first after a fight, even if they weren't wrong?)

It really depends on what the fight's about. Raph is more likely to apologize if he wasn't wrong, Ash beating him out by a smidge in the stubbornness department at times.

🧳 (If they had to run away together tomorrow, where would they go?)
