One more time with feeling

In the first version of this it was pointed out to me that Splinter’s teeth were wrong. So fixed them and reposting

From my Yakuza AU world. So Mikey has always been a chaos goblin. Getting out of bed in the middle of the night, hanging from sewer pipes, it is a wonder Yoshi didn’t go grey early. And the bigger problem was Mikey didn’t want to listen to Master Splinter when he tried to correct him. So, Splinter made this stuffed octopus (who still needs a name and I am open to suggestions). Mikey climbed up on the bookshelf? Octopus could convince him to get down. Mikey won’t eat his veggies? Octopus says he loves veggies so Mikey will give them a try. And as with all well loved toys sometimes kids love just a little too rough so he needs repairs over the years.

So I don’t usually do backgrounds like this. This was supposed to be just a sketch. Then it was supposed to be just flats. Then my SO convinced me to do the whole thing lol

…whatever it’s my birthday this seems fitting to post today and i’ll post whatever the heck i want EVERYBODY THIS IS JUDITH SHE WAS MOM AND DADS HAPPY ACCIDENT (they did not know previously that mutant-alien-hybrid kids were a possibility)

after her mom gives her a traditional Salamnadrian name her dad nicknames her Judith (Judy) after the character in Artmisia Gentileschi painting

she was a very big surprise for everyone involved (Mona included)

Mona sent an urgent comm to Raph, and the hatching process was a very tenuous one (no one really knew about the viability of a hybrid egg)

my first official public jump into AU land, wee!

Physically a Leo, spiritually a Mikey.

-> Commissions || My Kofi || Tip Jar :) <-

I want to reiterate the fact I think that Rise Leo and 2003 Mikey are eerily similar in a lot of ways. To those who write Leo as all silent and a shell of himself after krang- I respect you but here me out: he still is a flamboyant king with Issues ™️ and very much in denial/uses humor as a coping mechanism…kind of like 2003 Mikey, right?

A/N: Scent marking headcanon scenarios, anyone? 👀 Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving? 😂

CWs: Possessive/territorial behavior, scent marking, the guys acting a bit feral. Considering the subject matter, it’s not a stretch to say that these may be somewhat NSFW, but not super explicit. All characters are aged-up.

Thought I'd come by and just say hello! And also ask if you'd be willing to give some relationship headcanons for Mikey and/or Raph? If that hasn't been requested yet. Thanks!

ᯓ★ lots of fluff, jealousy things (angst maybe), reader goes by she/her pronouns! (This is so late— im sorry—)

Is the definition of mean to the world but sweetest to his girl

The most common scenario is this: He could be talking to Casey and just be saying a bunch of mean shit to him but the moment you approach him to ask him something, he softens his tone and looks at you, narrowed brows with a concerned look as if you're the most fragile thing in the world.

He actually thinks you'll break if he raises his voice at you.

Casey has made fun of him many times for this but drops it each time Raph threatens to hit him.

He calls you babe. That's it.

Sometimes baby girl if he's feeling brave.

You happen to picked up the habit of stealing his things. Or in your words 'borrowing'.

"Uhhh babe... Where's my glasses?"

He's not complaining since it's been the norm for you to wear his glasses out in the open when you go to work or such.

He likes to think its a way of you having a part of him everytime you're away.

But theres no denying that the two of you guys argue every now and then.

Its not that you want to but he just jumps to conclusions very fast. He does try to control it but sometimes his heart speculates faster than his mind thinks.

Like the time he dropped you off at your place and because of how exhausted you were, you failed to notice him leaning in to give you a goodbye kiss when you walked off.

That ruined his self-esteem for sure.

He really thought you didn't love him anymore and he was too afraid to ask you about it.

It was when you noticed him sulking that you finally confronted him.

He's definitely a physical touch kind of man.

He CANNOT keep his hands off of you. NO. NA-DA.

You need the whole world to pry his hands off of you.

His favourite thing to do is to have you in bed where he just wraps his arms around your waist while he rests his head on your stomach. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

He has jealousy problems.

He doesn't mind if you're close with his brothers because technically you're part of the family but with Casey or Vern?

Yeah no.

I mean there are boundaries to things.

Casey is smart enough to know not to try anything (in front of Raph) but Vern never gets the hint.

Has tried to get you to go on 'exclusive dinners' but you always said no because you knew how weird the guy was.

Nearly got beaten to shits by Raph if Leo wasn't there to stop him.

Has definitely done the bicep ribbon trend with you. How you were in awe from the way the ribbon elegantly untied itself around his bicep when he flexed his muscles made him feel all prideful of himself.

Never slacks off when working out.

He does enjoy kisses but he gets all awfully shy when you do it in public.

Like if you ever do kiss him in front of his brothers, even a simple peck on the cheek, he would not be able to face them for a moment.

He blushes hard and needs time to calm down.

He loves it soooooooo much when you dress up.

It doesn't matter what your style is because everytime you put in the effort to get all dressed up for date nights. He goes absolutely berserk.

Compliments your looks on a daily basis.

Doesn't matter if its your lazy day where you look a mess.

You're still irresistible to him.

Loves to keep the little things you leave in his room.

Either its your lip gloss or hair tie. He keeps it safe in his drawers just so it doesn't go missing or that you may need it later.

Yes he does sniff your hair tie.

It's only instinct since your hair smells so good.

Yes, the foot clan has kidnapped you a few times and it's ridiculous how many times it has happened. You fell for the homeless person trick AND the stray cat strategy.

All this effort just to ask you to spill any inside information to them.

Like just imagine you tied to a chair as Karai threatens to kill you but you're just wondering how long is it gonna take this time for the brothers to track you down.

Being thrown into this lifestyle is not for the weak.

But eventually you get saved all the time. Just imagine Raph removing the restraints around your arms with a regretful look.

"Sorry baby, I should've protected you better. I promise to keep you safe"

Cue to the next time happening again.

'They're secretly obsessed with you!'

(Bay!Tmnt x reader) Headcanons (SFW)

"Look at you, You're gorgeous. Why wouldn't anyone be obsessed with you? "

A/N: OMG I love this oneeee! I hope You like it, I tried my best! But, even if you dont.. You're still gonna read it like a goooooood boy ahahhahaha

Raphael˖᯽ ݁˖

Raph is way more aware of you than he is of anyone else

pretends you’re just “there” but tracks everything you do without realizing it

gets irritated when his attention keeps drifting back to you

tries to act normal… overthinks everything instead

replays conversations with you later, especially if he thinks he sounded stupid

will randomly remember something you said and get stuck on it

doesn’t understand why you affect his mood so much, just knows you do

He talks rougher than usual to you at first because he doesn’t know how to be normal

then randomly gets quieter when it’s just the two of you

Stands close without thinking, like it’s instinct

Watches your reactions more than he listens to what’s being said

if you’re focused on him, he gets slightly thrown off but hides it

teases you, but it’s softer—less bite, more… testing the waters

gets awkward in small, rare ways that no one else sees

always ends up near you, even if he didn’t plan to

glances at you mid-conversation just to see your reaction

notices changes in your mood before anyone else

remembers small details about you and brings them up casually later

will interrupt himself just to respond to you

you’re the first person he looks for when something happens

if something funny happens, he turns to you immediately

if something bad happens, he still looks for you first

texting/talking to you is part of his daily routine at this point

if he hasn’t talked to you all day, it feels wrong

depends on your reactions more than he realizes

you’re basically his favorite person, NO competition!!

Donatello ₊˚⊹ ᰔ

Donnie tells himself it’s “just interest in behavior patterns” and absolutely refuses to call it a crush!

somehow knows your schedule better than you do

starts adjusting his own routine around yours without realizing it

gets distracted mid-work if you’re in the same room

Leonardo✮⋆˙

(Best for last ofc)

Leo convinces himself he’s just “being responsible” when he keeps checking on you.
