I'm Not a Little Girl Anymore

継続は力なり。 “Keizoku wa chikara nari.” Continuance is power and strength. I will always strive to make myself better and stronger if only to truly honor the title of a Hogosha. [[ This is a semi-selective independent roleplay blog for April O'Neil from Michael Bay's TMNT 2014/eventually 2016 movie. The smaller icon I made, the other one I just resized but all the others I use were edited by moi. ]]

They’re your friends? Yeah, they’re my friends. Tell him.

Could you please reblog this if it is okay to ask you straight up if you want to ship?

     She’s checking off her list of things that needed to get done today, because keeping herself BUSY was the best way to get through this particular day. The corner of her lips lift at the thought of the gift she had ready for Splinter, all she had to do was figure out what the turtles were doing first so that she wouldn’t INTRUDE on their day with their father.

[hogoshaspirit]

Just saw TMNT Out of the Shadows and I’ve gotta say, I love how this movie was more focused around the turtles and not so much April discovering them. Obviously, the first movie had to happen and all that jazz, which is great and what got me to have this muse, but getting to see the interactions between the boys was what got me to love it. That and I think Casey should have been in it more. Stephen Amell knows his shit, and I felt even without the classic shoulder length black hair, he did a pretty good job keeping the spirit of Mr. Jones alive.

“Oh come on!” Donatello laughed, his shell and plastron? No way.. He shook his head immediately then wiggled his index finger in the air in case April didn’t get it clearly. “Not the plastron.” He patted his chest. 

“Besides my scutes need to be clean, for my body to be properly oxygenated. What the others do with their carapace is rather unhealthy, why do you think I don’t have a Kata on mine?” He said, hopefully this would make April desist that horrible idea. 

It is not he didn’t trust in his team but just in case.. He wasn’t going to walk around with the penguins logo all over him!

[hogoshaspirit]

          “C’mon, Donatello, a little spray paint couldn’t be THAT harmful to you, now could it?” This was the BEST idea she’s had in a long while when it came to the bets she’s made with the four brothers over their time together. Sticking the barren popsicle stick in the side of her mouth, she moved over on the couch to be sitting right beside the purple clad ninja.

     With hands clapped together and face in full swing pout mode, she said, “If not your plastron, then just your shell. Spray paint is removable, you know, or at least they make the kind that is. I’ll be sure to get that, you can check it before I do anything, I promise.” She was doing her best to get him to cave, going so far as to BEG as she was doing right now. “A tailor made jersey would be WAY too expensive and you know it, so this is the next best thing.”

[duzmachines95]

“Alright… But if your team loses.. You’ll clean Mikey’s room.” Donatello said with tremendous amusement. “Good luck finding a Jersey that fits me.” He added, not really considering in wearing it.. Because thanks to his shell and his tremendous size is really not easy to wear tops at all. In fact.. He only tries during winter and because Raph has knitted them those sweaters. 

[hogoshaspirit]

     She couldn’t hide the GRIMACE that took place at the thought of cleaning Mikey’s room, a shiver running down her spine. The place was littered with old pizza boxes and miscellaneous items all over, not to MENTION what she’d find underneath the top layer of mess he had. “Fine, deal,” she finally answered, sitting back in thought on exactly what she could do to a jersey that would fit him. They could be tailor made, sure, but that’d be expensive.

          “How about instead, I get to spray paint your shell AND plastron with all Penguins stuff?” Although she was changing up her end of the deal, she hoped he’d be up for it, cause damn would it be HILARIOUS to see Donatello walking around with spray paint covering his front and back.

[hogoshaspirit]

"Ya got one chance 't tell my why there was a kitten in 'm bed."

          “There was a KITTEN in your bed? As much as I’d like to take credit for that, I have no idea where it came from. Although if it doesn’t have a home, I’m sure you’d make a great dad,” she replied with a muffled chuckle.

[duzmachines95]

“Let’s make it interesting then.” He smirked and looked at her while she made herself comfortable. “What do you have to offer if your team wins?” He asked and shifted on his chair to face her, his computer could wait for a moment, now this was more challenging. 

[hogoshaspirit]

     A brow rose in interest as Donatello brought his attention solely on her, April tilting her head slightly as she tried to get a read on him. “WHEN my team wins, you’re gonna wear a Murray jersey for a week straight,” she replied with a grin, continuing to enjoy her popsicle.

[duzmachines95]

“Wanna bet?” He asked, smiling. “Think about it with detail.. You might regret accepting so.. Think about it veeeeery well.” He teased and went back to his book.

[hogoshaspirit]

     April had ABSOLUTE confidence in her team, so accepting the bet would be like taking candy from a baby, or in this case a smug smirk off a mutated turtle’s face. 

          “There’s nothing to think about. It’s a done deal and you know it.” Gently biting another chunk out of her popsicle, the brunette stretched her legs out and crossed her feet, every bit as CONFIDENT in her boys and their upcoming Stanley Cup win as Donnie seemed to be in their failure.

[hogoshaspirit]

          “Look, all I’m sayin’ is that we’ve got one more game to win in the series and we’re the Stanley Cup Champions once again. The Sharks aren’t gonna know what hit ‘em, especially since we just whopped their ASS in their hometown the other day.”

Do me a favor and reblog this if you have absolutely no problems RPing with male muns.

[duzmachines95]

Donatello glared at his friend for a brief moment then he shook his head with disapproval. “You’re fine, yes.. Fine as an extra for the Outbreak movie remake.” He pointed out. 

“Why do you refuse to get attention?” He asked, crossing his arms. “It is not like it’s going to hurt.. Or, you afraid of needles April? Like Raph secretly is?” He asked, smirking. 

“Let me take a look, I promise I won’t poke you with a needle unless it’s entirely necessary.” 

[hogoshaspirit]

     Matching his GLARE with one of her own, April gave a small grumble of disapproval before hoisting herself onto the counter in order to be at a better height for Donatello when he checked her over. “You’re not pokin’ me with a needle, period,” she mumbled, gaze roaming over him while arms crossed like the CHILD she was acting like.

✦ = being well-dressed

send one for my muse’s reaction to your muse —

     It was a little WEIRD to see the turtles wearing more clothes than usual, almost as if they were trying to blend in with her and the rest of the human population; but on the other end she could see why they might want to cover up—- especially since they had decided on COMING OUT from behind the shadows and all eyes would be on them from now on. In her normal attire – skinny jeans, t-shirt, and yellow leather jacket – she was thrown off in finding the blue bara somewhat dressed up, for what occasion, she had no idea.

          “You gonna tell me what’s got you all BUTTONED UP or are you gonna leave me to my imagination?”

[matureleadership]

     “Well then, that’s some good smelling generic Shampoo.” Leo laughed, giving her a light squeeze of a somewhat hug.

     “I can’t deny that all those times Mikey nearly fell wasn’t all from just being clumsy. Raph was a little ticked off that day and got a little.. ‘Shove happy’. I guess you’d call it.” Leos eyes drifted to one of the screens, showing previews for upcoming movies and pursing his lips in thought. “…We should go see a movie some time. I’m sure Raph will let me borrow his trench. We can sneak in and out the back.”

[hogoshaspirit]

     Her hands moved down his forearms, wrapping around the tops of his fingers with a gentle brush of her thumbs. “Sounds like Raph,” she commented. Although she enjoyed the images and the glow they cast, she could feel the energy DRAINING from her in the comfortable position they were in. “Yea. Movie sounds fun.” Voice trails off as eyes close and head turns to rest better against the turtle’s plastron covered in the tailored suit he wore.

[hogoshaspirit]

I honestly want to have Leo kiss April.

          “You DO realize he’s a giant, mutated turtle who more than likely thinks humans are gross and is practically my BROTHER, right?”

[matureleadership]

     And that was it. That was all it took to get Leo thrown into a fit of laughter. He always adored her jokes, numerous times they have gotten to make him actually laugh.

     A finger came up under his eye, letting out a blow of breath to help get it together. “Jeez, April you might just throw me into Cardiac Arrest.”

[hogoshaspirit]

     Rubbing at the back of her neck, she shrugged her shoulders, a satisfied SMIRK on her lips as she plopped herself on the mountain of pizza boxes that made up their couch; surprisingly, it was pretty comfortable. “Well, if you’re in need of rescuing, I’ll be sure to call Raph,” she teased.

[matureleadership]

     “You should show me sometime…” Leo said, a thumb brushing over her warm arm. “I mean.. If you want to.” He replied, smiling down at April, but right now he had to try and lighten the mood. The last thing he wanted to do was make her cry.

     “You should have seen Mikey up here for the first time.” Leo chuckled, shaking his head while his blue eyes averted from her back to the lights. “Just about fell off around… Eh.. Roughly fourteen-fifteen times. Somewhere around there.”

     His chin came to rest atop her head, loving the feeling of her soft hair. It was always something he admired about her. Those beautiful brown locks always caught his eye, even when they first met. And the smell. It always smelled to delightful. “..Say.. What type of Shampoo do you use? Your hair always looks, feels, and smell so great.”

[hogoshaspirit]

     There was a small shrug of her shoulders followed by a silence neither denying or accepting the request from Leo. In a way, those spots were special to her and her father. But at the same time, letting someone like him into her life in that way wouldn’t be too bad, would it?

     At the change in conversation, she was quickly swept up in the images of Mikey, her chuckle joining Leo’s as they sat there together. “I can only imagine,” she replied, settling back against the other. At his question, her brows furrowed. “I don’t know, the generic kind? Honestly, I just get whatever’s cheapest and comes in BULK.”
