[ID: A digital drawing of Raphael both from "Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles" and from "Mutant Mayhem". Rise!Raph is sourranded by his ninpo construct making him way larger, he's kneeling down and looking down on his counterpart with a little smile. Meanwhile MM!Raph is on his hands and knees with bloody nose and skinned feet looking up at him utterly flabbergasted, one of his sai lays next to him broken. End ID]

"All you wanna do
Is see me turn into...
...A GIANT TURTLE!"
Ok, so I don't know if the MM guys are any specific species, so I picked Map Turtle because I think they look pretty similar.

*solomnly* Donnie…i know you know that Raph has been acting different. More happy. I know your happy for him too. He has a significant other. However! It isn't exactly someone you’d be…comfortable with being so close to him in such a sense.
Imma hold your hand when I say this…..

I need Raph being insecure about his Krang half and doubting Kendra’s love for him because of it. (”how could she love a monster like me? I dont deserve her…”)
I need Raph accidentally harming Kendra when he has a panic attack or something.
I need Raph being afraid and certain that Kendra os gonna be scared of him because of it; hate him, be mad at him, cut ties with him. (Donnie is ready to attack Kendra if she breaks Raph’s heart.)
But Kendra isn't mad. She's only worried (and a bit shaken).
Im a sucker for angst 😭
(no pressure, Do whatever you want; this is your au and I have no say in it)

And this is why the turtles have to be careful what they watch for movie night.
Dang those triggers.
I'm completely unashamed to admit that I just spent several hours working on this instead of working on anything else I was supposed to.
Who woulda thought Kendrael angst would hold me in a death-grip?
I think timeline-wise this would happen some time after the next arc.
I like how I tell myself I'll stop jumping ahead of where I'm at in the story, and then ideas like this get thrown at me from out of the blue and suddenly I'm incapable of thinking about anything else /pos
Aaand now it's time for rambles ->
What I really liked about this thought was that it allows me to show a side of Raph that he absolutely hates about himself.
Everyone has this side to them that they bury deep inside, never to see the light of day, and for big Red over here, it's his natural tendency to lean towards 'fight' in a fight-or-flight response.
Really, it has nothing to do with the Kraang and everything to do with the ninja training as a kid. He and his brothers were born with the intent to be soldiers, and while yes, Splinter did everything in his power to give them a wonderful childhood - and did a darn good job too might I add - learning how to defend yourself led the turtles to trust their abilities to fight.
Now you could say, "But DW, what about in the movie when Raph told them to retreat blah blah blah-"
That was a specific situation that called for specific actions. If there had been any chance they could've won that fight and if Splinter hadn't been injured, I'm willing to bet Raphael wouldn't have called for a retreat.
My point is, these boys are fighters.
They take on a problem head-on, and unfortunately, that natural tendency is center stage of Raph's trauma.
The Kraang turned him into a soldier, their personal pet that didn't hesitate to follow orders.
None of it was Raph's doing, none of it was even close to being his fault, but the thing that terrifies him the most is that he'll lose control and hurt the people he loves. Again.
That 'again' makes it even worse, because he knows he's capable of it. He knows he could kill them because he has before, there's no doubt about it in his mind. Yes, he's the sweetest most gentlest giant in the world, but that doesn't take away the fact that he's a mountain of battle-trained muscle and has the power of a freight train, if not more.
So he does everything he can to keep that fighter inside of him under wraps at all times, refuses to even risk letting that side of him see a glimmer of the light of day.
But he's not perfect, and there are moments like the one above where he's so heavily triggered into that fight-or-flight response, he goes into a tunnel-vision and doesn't even realize what he's doing because at this point, it's instinctual for him to defend himself. It always has been.
And when he snaps out of it, that's when the fear takes him, that overwhelming guilt that feels like it'll swallow him up whole.
And poor Kendra! She knows that Raph and his brothers have been through a lot - Mikey's mentioned things here and there to the rest of the friend group - but seeing in person just how hard it was? Exactly what Raph's experiences have done to him?
It's really hard to see someone you love and care so deeply about going through something so unbelievably horrible.
But she knows a thing or two about guilt, the fear of hurting people again, and you better believe she's going to do everything in her power to show Raph that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could ever push her away from him.
She will always love him, no matter what he looks like, what he's been through, what he does.
Guys, this is why I love them, agh, they're so precious-
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Raph and Kendra are also in a relationship. I mean, they are pretty cute together.
Plus, does Mikey or Donnie ever get lovers? Donnie obviously needs one.
(Sorry for spamming, I just love them so much! 😅)
*bashful sigh* They're ADORABLE 💜❤️
Kendrael is very precious to me, you have no idea.
I do think it's kinda funny that everyone's been hyper-fixating on Leo's romantic life though, the poor man 😆💙
Donnie and April (eventually) become lovers, because I actually love Rise!Apritello very much and just had to include them in this AU.
That doesn't happen until they're both well into adulthood though. For now, they're perfectly comfortable as best friends, having yet to develop any said feelings (at least having failed to notice them💛💜)
As for Mikey, who knows? Currently, he's not really interested in that sort of thing, but that might very well change in the future.
As of the moment, he is perfectly happy and secure being a single pringle. But even if he's not actively seeking a relationship, that doesn't mean he's against the idea. If he does end up falling in love some day in the distant future, he's not one who would deny his heart 🧡

I have this vision of Donnie and Casey being forced to kill each other and dying together in my bad future au/series
Just Donnie covered in Krang parasites and blood from battle wounds, coming back to himself in his last moments as he’s no longer useful to the Krang and their control weakens.
Casey cradles his mangled face as he holds her close because it’s the only thing they can do as they bleed out and after a moment Donnie asking if he’s still pretty. “The prettiest” is all she says, all she needs to say. The simple question and answer encapsulating every single thought going through both of their minds. Looking into each other’s eyes Casey knows how sorry he is for how things turned out and Donnie knows she has long since forgiven him, after all, he at least kept his promise not to die without her
In an apocalypse this last moment together was a minor miracle and they intended to soak up every second they have left of it as the battle wages around them
Her and Donnie absolutely hating each other at first because she and April are rivals and she was a bad guy. Donnie can hold a grudge like no one’s business. Her being busy with the brownie clan and other things but slowly spending more time around the lair to hang out with Raph and spar with him. Donnie so annoyed about it especially when she even joins them on some missions until they’re separated from everyone else and forced to team up on one. Them meeting back up with everyone with a dangerous gleam in their eyes as they excitedly rant and rave about the destruction they just brought upon the goons hide out. Everyone kinda shocked about how it was like a switch was flipped. They hated each other 2 hours ago and now they might as well be best friends.
Them bonding a lot after that and getting so close. Donnie feeling safe enough around her to take off his battle shell when they’re just hanging out
More shippy stuff
Them watching true crime documentaries, thrillers, detective/spy movies, and whatever else together on Donnie’s laptop in his room. Him laying on top of her as she traces shapes on his shell. Him purring lowly in contentment.
Him just trusting her to be vulnerable around and her one day doing the same! Letting down walls and letting herself just be when she’s around him
