Raph: *banging on the door*

Raph: LEO, OPEN UP

Leo: Well it all started when i was a kid-

Donnie: That's not what he meant-

Donnie, Raph, Leo

Mikey was jarred awake with a gasp, hopping up so quickly, the blankets weren't ready for the rush. They wrapped around his limbs and dragged him back down to their plushy forms.

With some struggle, Mikey wiggled his way out. He hurried out of his room, not noticing the chill in his adrenaline rushed state. He breathed in, picking up on April's scent and hurried his way to it, towards the den with the TV.

"April!" he shouted as he rushed in, making her jump with a squeak, jostling Donnie who was lounging on her.

He gave them both a grumpy look then decided to bury himself in the blankets, getting away from them both.

Ignoring his brother, Mikey hurried over, asking frantically, "Are you ok?"

April blinked at him, surprised. He could sense her distress, and started to look around to see what spooked her. "Ye-yeah. Mikey? What's up? Are you ok?"

"Are you ok?" he asked instead. "I felt your fear and hurried over!" Picking up that there was nothing wrong, he drew near, picking up on her warmth and realizing that Donnie had the right idea. He settled near her, leaning into her space, the sleepiness replacing his distress.

"You felt me scared?" April repeated, wrapping her arms around Mikey and pulling him close. Mikey mumbled his response, too soft for April to hear as he went slouched against her.

Seeing that he was off to oblivion and wasn't give her that answer, April adjusted to get comfortable, making sure to hold Mikey close, then pulled the blankets closer around them, taking care to not take them away from Donnie.

Now that she was settled, she grimaced at the screen, deciding to stop watching this horror film and for something lighter and cozy.

Little April decided then that if she was to ever watch horror films again, it was to not do it alone.

She'll do it with the twins.

Donnie and Leo made the horror films more fun as they poked fun and roasted the stupid choices.

But that'll have to wait until spring.

It is midnight my dudes and I am drawing turtze like there is no tomorrow-

And no one gets ANY context for them-

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 2012

My pick for best of best goes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012. Not just because it’s the last time I can ever chose this series but because it pretty much dictated my life in 2017. I mean, come on…I dedicated months to making a cosplay for it. 

Also, many of my fanfic reading time went to finding the right Turtle fic (no turcest please…they’re brothers, damn it) and it made me start reading the TMNT comic because sure…I really need more comics to read. Now, the comics aren’t the same thing but I started to read them because the series just made me want more turtles.

 The series itself just found a way into my heart and I honestly don’t know how. I just love that every character is a rounded out character. They all have layers to them and not just 2 dimensional. Even the villains themselves showed that they weren’t just purely bad for the sake of being bad. They had a personally and a backstory and could have their own levels of morally and limitations. They could feel heart break and loyalty. The turtles also had their own character growths. They weren’t static; the turtles they were at the end were not the same as they were at the beginning. Leo grew confidence, became a leader, and became authoritative. Raph learned patience, learned that being outwardly caring was not a bad thing, learned to listen. Mikey matured, he is and will always be Mikey but he finally understood just how skilled he actually is and the other finally realized that should take him seriously. Donnie, also learned patience and to not internalize your feelings, and to stop bugging April.
