pspspspsps @mrabubu I haz something for juš§”
I heard from the grapevine that you were feeling sad. Here's hopefully a little pick me up and a reminder that you're doing a good job, hon.
You are loved and appreciated exactly as and where you are now.
Your art inspired me, and continues to inspire me, (and I know I'm not the only one) the instant I see it, and I wanted to try and capture how this particular photo made me feel.
Hopefully I captured the vibes right šš¬š¤š¼

Coming outta art block swinging likeā¦
Someone once told me that when dealing with artblock, you gotta take care of yourself first. Because the more alive YOU feel, the more alive your art will feel.
You can break the block, juts give yourself some time.
You CAN do this šš¼š§”āØš
Special shout out to these incredible ladies who have been in my corner since the beginning @holydoncakes @saspas-corner @anobodyinabog
Just some silly HC ideas on what I would get the Bayverse Boys for Christmas with all the money I got from working overtime during the holidays:

Leo: Cordless Vaccum with Additional Brushes
Hear me out. HC Leo has pretty bad OCD/ Anxiety. (feel free to ask me questions on why I think this; short story, man folds his arms and does his little nervous foot-tapping dance thing) It doesn't necessarily always look like that because he's worked on shoving it so far down (the emotionally constipated turtle he is) that its one of the reasons he can tend to be a bitā¦wellā¦high strung. All that chaos, the responsibility, the weight that is contained his mind can be a bit maddening and one of the ways he works through it or tries to redirect that nervous energy is through cleaning. It gives him something he can do and see an immediate result to. Leoās also a meticulous perfectionist, so what better to get him for Christmas than something that will allow him to clean every nook and cranny he can without being hindered; finally putting that pent up energy into something useful. Clean, orderly, and sensible. Because even if the rest of the world is crazy, doesn't mean his mind or his home should be. Wellā¦or at the very least his room. Everything in place as all good things should be. At least that how it feels being with you šš
Donnie: Hand Massager
Something cheesy I know I know. But think about it. Donnie has spent practically his entire life building gadgets and gizmos that help other people. Sure, there's the occasional more specific stuff for him and his brothers, but I don't think he really thinks all that much about building stuff to specifically help himself. You know this turtle gets on that one track mindset waaaaay too often and struggles with taking care of himself. Especially his hands. His hands are his livelihood. His chance to express himself when sometimes emotions and words cannot. I just think Donnie deserves a little break and to put some TLC into the hands that so often reach out to others. Donnie deserves to know that he's worth taking care of himself too. And the best part is if he doesn't like it, he can always tinker with it to make it better. Because that's what Donnie does, makes the world better by being himself and of course, being with you. šš
Raph: Minky Couture Blanket
A blanket? Really? I know what y'all are thinking but hear me out. Raph is a our big boy. The protector. The muscle. The hard headed bruiser who's always on the front lines taking every hit so his family and the rest of the world doesn't have to. He takes the hits because he knows he can handle it and give it right back. That's what he's good at, and he's proud of it. But its not easy. It hurts. And I imagine it can get rather exhausting. Sometimes I think Raph forgets that his heart is a muscle too and it needs to be taken care of just like the rest of the muscles that he puts so much effort into. These blankets are by far the softest that I have EVER had the privilege of touching. Silky smooth to the the touch AND THEY CAN COME WEIGHTED TOO! I think Raph deserves something warm and soft (I HC that he's super touch and texture sensitive) to come home to after fighting in this cold hard world. (A blanket will do. At least until he has you šā¤ļø)
Mikey: Thyme and Table Black and Gold Cookset
Iāve always loved the thought that Mikey was the biggest foodie in the family which honestly makes sense. Because what better way to bring people together, no matter who they are, than the ultimate connector that is the love of food? Mikey loves people and he loves expressing himself. What better way than doing that through magic that is cooking?! I want to get him this set because it looks super classy (and I think Mikey needs a reminder every once in a while that he can be cool and chic just like the rest of his bros. That he isn't always just the goof and the brunt of the joke) Mikey, like anything in black and gold, is a statement piece that deserves his own chance to shine! Also with it being speckled, it looks clean while being dirty too. The mess in a masterpiece if you will.
Just like our Mikey!
And you bet your bottom dollar that he is gonna to LOVE trying to make some magic for youšš§”
Splinter: Lego Tranquil Garden
Splinter is a part of this family and deserves something nice too! My favorite thing is surprising older folks with something considered āchildishā and watching them have a chance to explore their inner child once again. Not to mention these lego sets are basically just 3D puzzles and old folks love puzzles! Because puzzles are just workouts for the brain! (at least that's what my grandma keeps telling me) And I think Master Splinter would like to have something fun to work on while his boys are always out saving the world. You know, a little piece of serenity that never fades away (because plastic is eternal and what not) in the crazy world that he gets to call home with his sons. š¤
Oh you think itās fun do you? Do you know how much it hurts?
"Tell me Atlas, what is heavier? The world or its peoples hearts?"
Loving people can consume you to the point that all you do is feel and you are crushed with the weight of its existence being contained in your own heart, as it eats you from the inside out.
Where does it go? Where does it go?
How many nights have I cried as the weight of my aching comes crushing down around me. All this love to give, and I share it as best I can.
So why oh why does it turn on me in my moment of weakness and consume me instead?
I think it's fun when characters carry so much love and have nowhere to put it down
(Found a lil drabble I wrote a while back that I wasn't gonna share outside of my buddies but you know what? Cute Brand New Papatello be upon you.) *
It wasnāt until he was cradling his daughter to his plastron, fresh from the tube sheād been grown in, that it occurred to Donnie he had never once in his life held a baby before. The thought was equal parts terrifying and surreally fascinating.
Distantly, he knew his family was losing their collective minds over the infant turtle mutant. He vaguely recognized a coo from someone - Leo? - telling the others to look at Donnieās expression right now (āHeās a goner already.ā An affectionate laugh. āYou good, Dee?ā āShhh let him have this.ā āHer fingers are SO small!ā). But the longer Donnie looked at the baby curled into his chest, the less his familyās voices made sense.Ā
Sound fell away. Hesitantly, Donnie brushed a hand - as big as she was - over the curve of her tiny shell. It was softer than his, the smooth leather surface still damp with incubator fluids. He could feel the ridge of her spine. The alien familiarity, the echo of his own shell, the smallness and fragility of her, the miracle that she was here and alive - a million thoughts and feelings simultaneously colliding - made Donnieās breath hitch and a wave of warmth wash over him.Ā
Donnie had already decided he cared about this baby, and his dum dum brain had already sent out all the dum dum hormones that filled him up with more dum dum affection for her than he knew what to do with. All the researching and the planning and the prepping and the step-by-stepping so that everything would be fully assembled to help her thrive and grow had been rigorously completed. And yet. And yet andā¦.and yetā¦.Donnie had never been so prepared while also being so helplessly lost and overwhelmed.Ā
Words failed him.Ā
His fingers were touching lightly over her cheek, her brow, hands so small they made his heart squeeze. She was incredible. She was the scariest thing he had ever beheld. And also the most beautiful. His stomach flipped. Instinctively, she searched for something to latch on to, mouth as toothless as a koi fish on the tip of his finger. The sound she made was an unmistakeable, Donnieās-world-altering, high, sweet chirp. Donnie didnāt realized heād clicked back automatically until an especially shrill noise of delight erupted from his brothers. With it, the vacuum tight bubble around himself and the baby popped.Ā
Sound and smell and sight outside of himself and his miniature copy rushed back in. It was disorienting, but Donnieās focus was resolute. He tried to ask for the bottle theyād prepared for her. She needed feeding and there was still some potential trial and error ahead in figuring out just what she would eat (baby formula? Turtle food? A Yokai recipe of some kind? Donnie had about a dozen different forms of nourishment prepped just in case. But he couldnāt manage to ask for a single one of them. The very thought of taking his attention off of her was absurd. Ā
āHow you holding up, Dad Man?ā Leo asked with a laugh, the sound softer than usual. All of his family had settled down after Donnie came back to himself, maybe recognizing he was toeing the line of overstimulated, maybe just genuinely soft and happy themselves over seeing whatever it was they saw on Donnieās face. He could worry about the implications of that when he reviewed the footage for his archives later. Right now howeverā¦
Replying should have been easy. Just string together a few coherent words, Donatello. Speaking was something he was perfectly capable of. He inhaled to do so.Ā The rise of his chest for air, however, made the baby stir against him, peeping softly, and what little remaining rationale Donatello Hamato had flew out the window. Donnie was scooping her in closer, pressing his nose to the top of her head as he curled around his baby.
āPerfect.ā He mumbled.
āHa! Say again?ā
āSheās perfect.ā
Augustine Hamato, daughter of Donatello Hamato - his stomach flipped at the thought - was absolutely, two hundred percentā¦perfect.
*KICKS DOOR DOWN WITH A WHOOP AND HOLLER*
LADIES AND GENTS HERE FROM THE HEART
I HAVE A FABULOUS PIECE OF ART
STRAIGHT FROM A MASTERS HAND
A PERFECT PICTURE FOR MAH BEST FRIEND
Words will never be enough to express my complete and utter ecstatic joy in receiving this for my friend. Bless you bootiful human!!!
*snickers madly* Ohhhhhhh Shortcaaaaaake I have somethin for juuuuuuuu
@spectra-bear @anobodyinabog
ITS A BABEH!!!!
I can't remember how exactly this came about anymore, but it's here. I would like to give special thanks to @thelaundrybitch for coming up with the idea and then letting me write it. Beware the diabetes.
One-shot, pure fluff, Rise Leo, set in main timeline (AU?)
You're not sure what to think about when you get the messages. You're even less certain when you call after work and the only thing you get is, "Please get down here right this second" and nothing else. However, the thing that worries you the most isn't the fact that Donatello seems to be ordering you around or the fact that your best friend seems to be panicking. That seems par for the course for the Hamatos. No, what worries you is the lack of messages from a certain someone that makes your heart squeeze.
He's gotten good with his timing. Incredible, in fact. He never asked, but nowadays, it feels like the second you get up for lunch at work, there's a message waiting for you. He bugs you with everything and anything, from memes to heartfelt messages that always manage to make you smile, even giggle sometimes. But there was nothing today. Not even the start of the conversation you have to sadly shoot down because someone thought it was a good idea to occupy your lunch with a meeting.
So, it's with a heavy heart and worry on your mind that you step into the lobby of the Lair.
"LEO! DON'T RUN!"
Only to blink as you hear Raph shout, you barely catch a blue streak zip up the stairs, and you flinch as a weight hits your legs, making you look down.
⦠Is thatā¦? There's ā There's no goddamn way.
You watch as the snapping turtle makes it up the stairs only to sigh when he sees you. He, thankfully, doesn't hesitate to approach you, just holds up his hand in greeting, which you return before watching the hulking man sit and make himself as small as possible before speaking in a tone that can only make you smile.
"Leo, you need to let go."
"No!"
"Leo ā"
"NO!"
Although⦠you can't help but blink at the name and the voice you're hearing.
"Leon?"
And the fact that the blue-covered head finally moves to let you see lime green and redā¦
"Eya."
ā¦
Oh dear god.
You watch as Leo unglues himself from your leg and brings his arms up. You look at Raph in confusion.
āWhat happened?ā
āDonnie. Heās working on a solution.ā
āIs this linked to the Empyrean?ā
And the snapping turtleās acquiescence gets cut off by quiet hiccups, making you look down and feel your heart almost shatter.
His eyes are watery. Leo is trying so very hard not to cry but he wants up. And you canātā¦
You kneel and open your arms. The intelligent boy picks up on it immediately and, after a blink, rushes into your arms and settles his head into the crook of your neck as you lift his surprising heavy body off the ground.
āItās the shell,ā Raph explains and you believe it. Heās not particularly pudgy although he seems well-fed, but the weight doesnāt match.
Although, considering how fast he settles down in your arms, youāre not sure you mind. No, you donāt mind at all when you feel a tiny rumble against yourself.
Churring. Heās so damn cute.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He refuses to let go of you.
You want to say that youāre surprised with him refusing to let you help with dinner, but if youāre honestā¦
āLeon, I gotta help your brother.ā
āNo!ā
āYou want to eat late?ā
Considering his current age, to not expect him to be glued to you would be wishful thinking. Certainly when the second question gets indignant chirping galore Mikey understands and translates.
You were missing all week. Itās his turn.
Not even two and already acting like a drama queen. You want to be angry but the fact that he insists on both staying on your lap during dinner all while eating on his own is too endearing to get mad at. Not to mention that he does seem to somewhat understand boundaries ācause he asks for Raph when you talk about getting ready for bed only to stick to you when youāve showered and changed.
Little glue pot. Who is still incredibly brotherly as he points you to the Lab and has a chirpy argument with Donnie through the intercom about sleeping.
The fact that the softshell actually comes out is a testament to Leo's persuasion, certainly with how proud he looks in your arms. He, unfortunately, loses much of that pride as you get to his room, and not only does he insist that you sleep with him, but he tries climbing over you several times and complains so loudly every time you move him back to where he was, it catches Raph's attention who, thankfully, explains.
It's something you know Leo has been doing for months, now. Whenever you share the same bed, he insists on having an arm around you or sliding halfway atop you. Either way, it leads to the same thing, you wake up with him holding you tightly in his arm while he covers you with himself. At first, you thought it was out of being touch-starved. Now, after everything you read and him still doing it, you're thinking it's a dominance thing. It's neither. In fact, it's something much simpler.
His shell. Doesn't matter if there's damage, his shell and skin are stronger than yours. And he's protective. Extremely so as he tries again while you're distracted with his brother and you still catch him, leading to him trying to nip your fingers and forcing you to gently hit his beak with a "None of that."
He whines, then, rubbing his head against your hand while his eyes fill with tears. You barely notice Raph leaving as you try to reason with him, eventually boiling it down into the simplest fashion you can while putting his hand against his.
He's usually so much bigger. Leo might not be too much taller than you, but he is surprisingly broad despite how agile he is and his hands engulf yours. You can barely see the color of your skin in the lime-green of his, usually.
Not now. Now, your hand makes his disappear. Your skin is all you can see. And light hiccupping is all you can hear as just how helpless he is sinks into you.
He can't protect you. Not right now. That's your job. Until he's back to normal, you and his brothers have to make sure he's safe, happy, and, above all, loved.
You hold him close. Bring him against your chest before placing a pillow underneath him to make sure he's comfortable as he holds onto you. You listen to him churr as you scratch his head and shell while promising him security and protection. And while you're not sure he completely gets it, you know he's understanding some of it as he holds onto your shirt like a lifeline, leaving you to wonder one thing.
Is this⦠how he wishes he could behave? Or something close?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something close. Definitely something close from the fact that he wakes you up in the middle of the night with his screaming and crying and he looks like such a mess as you hold him tight against you. You doubt he wants you to hear the hiccupping he's unable to hold back or that wants you to see him as anything but strong. You doubt he enjoys the fact that he woke you up, no matter how little you care, and promise him that it's fine as you take him to the kitchen for a cup of warm milk. And nothing makes that more obvious than you waking up to an already awake Leo whom you can only smile gently at.
"Hey Leon."
Along with the fact that he immediately nuzzles against your hand as you hold it out.
"Did you sleep?ā
A nod.
āAfter we came back from the kitchen?ā
A very hesitant nod.
It's harder to lie, to deflect. Not to mention he's trying to lie to you, something you've had more than a hint of him disliking. However, it does tell you how ingrained the habits are and how soon Leo had to learn that sacrificing himself⦠could be necessary.
You just hope you know the perfect way to return the favor as you send texts to Mikey and Raph before settling into the bed a little more.
"How about we sleep in, then? I just cleared my day."
From the way his eyes light up at the offer before you find yourself tackled by someone half your size, you'd say you're not doing a bad job of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You wish you were surprised when it turns partially into show-and-tell. You can only chuckle when Leo races through the room to bring you stuff he babbles and chirps about. And you smile fondly when, eventually, he brings over the book you've gotten him and, after triumphantly stating, "Eya book!" he lies with you to look at the images while you read the text aloud. But it's the way he cuddles against you as you speak that has your heart skipping around. Not to mention that he only snuggles closer when you quiet your voice to a hum and let him settle against your chest, breathing deepening by the second.
You know better than to stop. You might have only raised four-year-olds, but you remember their behavior skirting with this one, certainly after a nightmare or an awful day, and you're not about to leave Leo to suffer to his demons. You already can't let him when he's older, how can you now?
You help him settle a little better as he stretches and tries to snuggle closer, likely looking for warmth. You smile as he sleepily chirps.
āI wuv you, Eya.ā
But thereās no helping the blink as you hear him whisper against you. No stopping your racing heart and fond smile as you wrap a protective arm around him, murmuring, āI love you, too, Leon."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You jolt as you hear screaming, shouting and tumbling throughout the lair. You notice the lack of weight against you and hear a very familiar three-letter word accompanied with some surprisingly familiar words as well.
āLeo! Get back here!ā
āNo!ā
And you sigh, almost resigned to the mess youāre about to find as you step out, wondering what trouble the little chaos demon has managed to get himself into.
You blink when all you see are color-coded blurs. The blue one turns the corner so sharply, you wonder if youāre still sleeping until another blur, red one this time, does the same thing, reminding you of where you are. You sigh as you make your way up and blink at the absolute mess the lobby is in, recognizing the spots Leo might have thought he was safe before his brother tried to extricate him out of hiding.
Are you surprised that, upon his return to the lobby, heās taken to the heights this time? Nope. In fact, you just sigh as Raph shouts at Leo who is absolutely refusing to leave his perch in the bar. Itās not until the little menace tries to get away and knocks a bottle off the shelves that they seem to realize how dangerous this is becoming as your heart nearly stops.
Oh no.
You can hear the crying before it starts. Youāre still not ready for the chirps that mix with it as Raph realizes he canāt reach Leo, at least not without breaking the bar. However, the distress you see across that tear-streaked face is enough to make you move, thankfully easing Raphael's worry but not quite working on Leo's nerve, even as you step into the bar, round the shattered bottle, and hold yourself under the slider with open arms.
"It's okay, Leon. Come on."
It takes everything for you to stay calm as he cries louder, holding out his tiny hands towards you. You can't reach him. You're not tall enough. But he can jump down.
"Come on, big guy. Just a jump. I got you."
The distressed chirps make you want to cry. You have to keep smiling, though. You have to keep steady. He needs a rock, and you're the only one who can reach him.
"I gotcha. Te tengo, Leonardo. Jump."
He does. You buckle a little under his weight but hold steady as he hiccups before crying while gripping your shirt like a lifeline. You turn around to an apologetic Raph who gingerly points to what Leon has clasped in his right hand and the fact that the latter immediately lets it go to put his arms around your neck doesn't surprise you in the slightest. What does is the cause of the mess.
"A Lou Jitsu action figure?" you ask as you hand it over to the sighing snapper.
"Got it from Dad's room."
⦠Oh. You smile, even giggle as you half-rock the hiccupping Leon in your arms.
"Did you want to show it to me?"
Only to chuckle as you feel the faintest hint of a nod against your neck. This little rascal.
"Want me to take him off your hands?" Raph suggests and you shake your head.
"I have ā! What⦠happened here?"
Before you can answer, though, the softshell appears in the lobby holding a vial you only hope is the solution to the mess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're not surprised when quiet is all that finds you when you slide open the train car door. You almost expect him to pull back the second you lie in the bed next to him, something he does before you put a hand over his.
"You okay?"
However, you're glad when all that finds you instead of the lies he's been spewing as he helped fix the mess he created is silence.
He's not in the mood to lie. Not to you. Yet, he's also not wanting to talk about the past few hours and, honestly, you can't blame him.
"We don't have to ā"
"I don't get you."
Although, you're not sure what to make of the remark, blinking at it.
"Leon?"
"I don't understand. I don't⦠I should haveā¦"
"You didn't."
"Why not?"
"You were a child?"
"Not ā"
"If you're about to say excuse, I'm going to get Raph to beat some sense into you. Besides, I raised twins."
He falls quiet, looking unsure. You squeeze his hand, not expecting but still getting one you almost want to laugh at as he brings you in and lays atop you.
Shielding you from the world. Keeping you safe. And, as you feel him freeze over you while you wrap your arms around his neck to bring him closer, so touch-starved he nearly melts over you when you start scratching his nape and the base of his skull.
The churrs are so incredibly deep, you can feel them reverberate through you. It's beautiful.
Ā "You'd make a wonderful mother."
It's not as heart-racing as his comment, though, your mind wondering if he means it, if he's thinking about it as he kisses and murmurs against your cheek.
"I love you, estrella mĆa."
You won't know now, though. Not yet. Patience is key and he needs his sleep.
You lean your head against his as you whisper your reply, "I love you, too, Leon."
