Do you have any limits for a request?? Like do you only do a certain gender, or are you okay with lots of angst??? I just would like to know your rules and what you feel comfortable with before asking anything.
-noodle anon
hey noodle anon! i'll cover all of your questions, but i'm also gonna use your ask to give more info about my writing as well. also, if you'd like some more information about me, click here to view my tumblr page.
i'll try to update this post frequently as i get more requests and questions. i hope this makes requests from me easier in the future!

Sun's Guide to Requests
OKAY, LET'S DO THIS!
first, i'd like thank you, noodle anon, and everyone who's viewed my blog so far. i'm so glad you guys are enjoying my content so far; it makes me want to work harder for you all. <3
to do that, i'm gonna list things you can/not request, as well as include a small fandom list that i'll write for currently.
you can request:
one-shots
head canons
drabbles
"Match Me" requests (who would i ship you with?)
romance
angst (hurt/comfort) this is a robbery, put your angst in the bag
fluff
au's and crossovers
canon x canon
reader inserts (most comfortable with this genre)
any gender/pronoun reader (writing gender-neutral works is an easier format to please every reader, but i'm fine with writing anything!)
you cannot request:
smut. i won't write smut on requests, so please do not ask; ESPECIALLY IF THE CHARACTER IS A MINOR.
incest
gore
s*xual violence
abuse (physical or psychological) **
racism **
discrimation/violence against LGBTQIA+ **
ableism **
adult character and minor reader (or vice-versa), UNLESS it is platonic relationship ONLY.
Q&A Session !!!
1. Q: what do the stars (**) mean?
A: i would like to clarify that i will NOT write any works where a character i am writing for will be an offender of these actions and harm another character/reader with them. i don't mind mentioning them in works where a character comforts a reader/character hurt by these actions, but ONLY mentions. i won't ever write these out in graphic detail and will always include trigger warnings above my works.
however, i want this blog to be a safe space so i'll avoid these topics 98% of the time.
fandom list!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 & 2018)
RWBY
Carmen Sandiego (netflix series)
Miraculous Ladybug
Genshin Impact
Once Upon a Time
Jujutsu Kaisen
Soul Eater
Project Sekai (Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage)
Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist
Final Fantasy 7
note: this is just a short list of my current fixations i'll have an easier time writing; though there are plenty more fandoms i'm in! just inbox me a request or a question about if i'll write something else. i'm more comfortable with ones i know, but i don't mind doing my research to write something for you. <3
okay, i think i've covered everything! you can reply to this posts with further questions or reach out to my inbox. thanks for the love, i look forward to writing more here in the future!
Hey hey hey beautiful person! It's me again! ( Another request right after you posted the one I had requested??? Yes baby,i'm the speed) but it's because i see your sun's guide request and see jujutsu kaisen in there,i have an idea that mixes rottmnt and jujutsu that you might be interested in 😏
So. Hear. Me. Out.
Rise Leonardo (or the boys) with a reader (female or neutral,your choise) BUT the reader have the same "mistic power" of toge inumaki from jujutsu kaisen,wait for it.......
BOOOMM!!
Yeah baby,and,if you don't remenber what it is,the power of the inumaki is called cursed speech,when he say something it's happen but with a cost like,if he says "die",he would overwhelmed himself end up hurt or worst, that's why he only says sushi ingredients like "tsuna,mayo" you got it? You got it? Please say yes i really think that's is a good one ;-;
But of course,if you don't wanna do it,feel completely free to just ignore my outbreak lol
EDIT: my inbox is OPEN for requests again!!! check my pinned post for guidelines and fandoms i write for before requesting please. have a good day and stay hydrated! 💛
i remember seeing your request and thinking "you are speed" after posting your first request. but i need to apologize ... you've been collecting a little dust in my inbox for a while now. i've decided to chalk that up to "adulting sucks." because it does.
i also want to emphasize how much i love this request. i just do. i could never ignore your outbreak. I LOVE THIS !! you have the best ideas.
i included all the turtles in this fic, but it mainly focuses on leo's connection with the reader. also, with toge's vocabulary being onigiri ingredients, i was a little stumped on figuring out how to use it in these headcanons; so i used this super useful reference on twitter! i try to give plenty of context in this piece, but if you want to have a better understanding feel free to check it out!
anyways, enough about that ... I HOPE YOU ENJOY !!! <3
rise!leo with a reader who has the cursed speech technique.
first, let me give some backstory:
you had been fighting your way out of the battle nexus and running from big mama's people in the hidden city
the turtles witness the fighting after it causes a commotion in town, and they were in awe
your fighting skills were amazing, but they was so intrigued by the obvious effect your words had on your opponents.
after the turtles helped you (because they couldn't just watch), they all turned around to talk to you
to which you simply greeted them with "kelp (hello)."
to say they were confused is an understatement
you felt a little helpless trying to communicate with them; they couldn't understand you if they didn't know about your ability
after a humiliating game of charades, you were able to get a pen and paper to write down an explanation for them
they understood, and offered to get you out of the hidden city and a place to hide from big mama for a while
donnie even offered to make a translation device so that you could communicate with them better
you were thankful for their kindness, and soon enough ... you all became friends
leo at first assumed you were a bit aloof because of how quiet you were, but he eventually noticed that you were actually a very social person
when you first met them, you only listened to their conversations intently.
but once they were able to understand you better, you even participated in them.
but your vocabulary is still pretty small and it makes it hard to communicate fully the way you want to
it's an insecurity, and you are terrified of somehow hurting the turtles with your ability
you have great control, but mistakes can happen ... it's a fear that looms over your head.
not to mention, you’ve had people befriend you to take advantage of your power, and you were scared of the heartbreak again.
those fears make you slowly pull yourself away from them, and leo worries when he notices you get distant
so he does confront you one day, worried that you’ll completely remove yourself from their lives
and he doesn’t want that, and he’s intent on trying to help you feel better when you (hesitantly) open up to him
it makes you feel better, and you almost cry a little when he says
“listen (name), while i’ll never stop admiring how cool your power is, i’d chose to brag about you over your power any day. people might see you as that, but i see you for who you are. you’re way cooler than that, so don’t let people define you by your power.”
he flinches a bit when you jump up to hug him, but smiles when you whisper “salmon (thank you).”
he hugs you back, knowing the hug was much needed before he pulls away
“though if you ever want to use it to get us an unlimited supply of pizza, i won’t complain— ow!”
you playfully slap him and disagree. “okaka (no way).”
sorry i’m lame for poofing the other parts of the thread out, the scrolling was overwhelming me 😞
rules : ten folks i wanna get to know better !!
↳ ngl, i’m weird about tagging people (i’m fine with getting tagged but it makes me nervous to tag others) so i’m calling out all the beautiful people reading this to ✨participate ✨ (aka you, reading this right now)

Last song I listened to!
↳ when she loved me by lyn lapid (this version hits me hard) on spotify, then on apple music, where my favorite anime/game osts reside, is Trisha’s Lullaby from FMAB (osts make me cry and also inspires me)

heyo! first of all i LOVE your writing, I aspire to write as well as you one day <3 I wanted to request some headcanons with the rise boys w/ a gn reader who’s mute!! please don’t feel like you have to answer this, feel free to ignore/delete!!
aaa, hey there !! first of all, thank you so much for your kind words !! i'm sorry for taking so long to get to your request, but i've thought about your idea since it popped into my inbox so i'm excited to finally put it all into this post. i am my own critic and i bully myself until i like my content; so i took a while with this one.
quick disclaimer: i do not have a lot of knowledge about mute individuals, but i did some research during the writing of this fic to try to be as respectful as possible and to also educate myself; however, my comprehension skills aren't the greatest. if i have inaccurately represented this community with misleading information (or if i have misunderstood mutism as a whole), please let me know and i'll correct my work to reflect accurate information. it is never my intention to hurt or offend anyone.
- much love,
sun
i hope you enjoy !! <3

rise!turtles with a mute reader
Raph
i imagine april introduces you to the turtles and that he doesn't really clue into you are being mute at first
mainly because he didn't read the group chat message where april tells the turtles you're mute (he never reads the gc, smfh)
so he always feels bad when he talks to you and you just kind of smile or blink
since he doesn't realize, he just overthinks about why you don't answer back
maybe you don't like him? is he annoying? too loud?
can you smell his "I'm Nervous About Meeting New People" stink?
so when he tells his brothers and they clue him in, it just clicks for him
it makes him feel closer to you because he grew up mute
(i saw a hc once that raph was mute as a kid and no, i will not be convinced otherwise)
you might notice a slight behavior change
he'd normally be a little awkward or stiff in conversation before, but now he finds a way to communicate with you!
even if you don't talk, he'll find a way to keep you in conversation
especially because he can talk a lot if he thinks no one is annoyed by his rambling
the longer he knows you, the longer he picks up on your nonverbal cues and you both find an easy way to communicate with each other
he can't sign very well (just because of the lack of fingers) but he knows how to interpret ASL so you can communicate with him !!
Leo
honestly doesn't notice it from the first time he meets you
also doesn't read the group chat
mainly because he talks so much that he doesn't pay attention to how quiet you are
though when he does notice, he might ask about it?
not to embarrass you, though; he might tease people about a lot of things, but even he knows his limits on that
we love a respectful king
he's just curious about the details, but definitely doesn't push you into telling him about it
he's a nosey mf he can't help himself
all of the brothers (him included) will speak up for you
if you're comfortable with that, of course
"hey, they said no pickles."
he might be sassier about it though, just because he's leo
but he'll do it a million times over
he's also pretty good at picking up on nonverbal cues and body language (because of raph being mute and donnie having nonverbal moments)
if you're uncomfortable? tired? excited? overwhelmed?
leo is here for you
Donnie
knows immediately because he actually reads the group chat
like the others, he knows how to communicate with you
especially with sign language, because he actually knows it and can sign really well?
he actually finds it nice to communicate with you this way as well, especially during some nonverbal moments
and sometimes he can really ramble on; even more so if it's about his interests and superior tech
so signing helps him slow down (because he wants to make sure you can interpret his signing; having three fingers can make it difficult) and watch for your replies
there might be days where you both sit in a comfortable silence (or he just watches you if you want to communicate), or he's really verbal
he can either ramble or keep it short and simple; it really just depends on his mood
but he quietly appreciates the understanding between the both of you
he can see how excited you are about everyone talking about something you're interested in; you wanna join, but it's hard to keep up with their voices and it can be overwhelming
what's wrong, (name)? - donnie asks in ASL
when you tell him he immediately finds a way to stop the conversation
"(name) has something to say about that."
ALL of the brothers look out for you, but he would the most
Mikey
"knows immediately because he actually reads the group chat": the sequel
this boy will do all of the verbal talking for the both of you
he's not necessarily over-talkative, but enjoys having conversations
i'm projecting in the next headcanon but hear it out okay
when mikey was a kid, he grew up with a speech delay
it wasn't until his he was between age 8-9 that he began to improve in his speech
because of it however, he relied heavily on gestures and used very little words unless he was unsure of how to express himself
it was a frustrating for him as a kid; not being able to communicate as well with his brothers
excluding donnie from that cause he taught himself ASL, then taught mikey some words to help him
he wants to make sure you feel heard and that you're comfortable
be prepared because if he knows you're fine with it, he'll rope you into group conversations like donnie does
he understands ASL pretty well, but he won't sign back most of the time; he just has a hard time with it
like leo, he's also pretty good at noticing your body language
i mention reader knowing ASL a lot (aligning it with the fact that i hc the turtles knowing it), but if you don't use it to communicate?
the turtles value your friendship and will adapt any form of communication so you can talk with them!!
you just write on a small whiteboard? mikey's got plenty of supplies for you in his room
if you use a text to speech program? they wait patiently for your reply
as i said, they value you as an individual and welcome you into their little family with opens arms <3
Rise!Leo is a "I need to be the most fuckable person at the grocery store" non-binary and Rise!Donnie is a "mere mortals are not worthy to comprehend my existence" non-binary.
summary: raph is struggling with his insecurities and the pressure he feels as the eldest sibling, more so after the kraang invasion they barely managed to win. reader finds him alone and comforts him.
author's note: i love all of them, but raph ... i love him so frickin much. mans just needs a hug and i'm here to give it to him (through this fic). also, i'm sorry if there's any errors! i rushed to finish this but i'll be jumping back into editing this when writing is fresh on my mind.
it's the fact that i relate to him as an older sibling for me-
raphael sighs to himself as he looks out upon the city he has sworn to protect; whether it's humans or yokai disguised by magic, he watches them from the shadows and intervenes in dangerous situations to protect them as their warrior. a burden he couldn't imagine facing alone and is thankful he shares them with his family.
his family.
his eyes fall down to the fatigued picture in hand, the crinkled image showing his family on the same rooftop he's standing upon, wide grins across their excited faces. he can hear the laughter in that memory ringing in his ears, missing it the moment it drowns in the city noise around him. the memory calms his aching heart, but it soon turns bittersweet as his eyes gaze back out at the city. bittersweet because of the differences he could spot between the city in the image and the one before him. it was his duty to take care of this city with his brothers, who he almost lost because he wasn't strong enough.
if he had brought them here, would they be different too? scarred by the battle that had almost costed them everything? he could envision the smiles they'd put on their faces, but the thought that their minds would never escape that battle unscathed ...
tears blurred the mutant's vision, choked sobs hidden behind his trembling lip. tears spilled down his cheek and stained the image with his anguish. not only did he fail at protecting this city, but he failed his job as the eldest brother. nothing could change the past, but if he wasn't strong enough to protect his brothers then, how could he now? after it all, he could still feel the kraang crawling in his flesh, that monster's hunger for destruction still etched into his subconscious. what if they didn't lock the kraang away forever? if it came back with a powerful vengeance and destroyed his city, his family, and the life they worked so hard to rebuild? he holds the picture close, tucking his knees to his plastron and sobbing quietly.
overwhelmed by his grief, raph didn't hear someone ascending the ladder to the rooftop, landing with a soft thud. (name) is relieved to have found him, though pauses when she hears shaky sighs and quiet cries. her heart breaks at the realization that it's coming from her beloved turtle, and she approaches slowly before kneeling behind him. she's hesitant to reach out to him, so she just keeps herself an arm's length away to give him some space.
"raph?"
even though her voice barely raises above a whisper, raph still flinches in surprise; he's quick to rub the tears off of his face, sniffling in attempt to compose himself. his guts twist into knots when he feels her soft eyes on him, the thought of seeing her features drawn into worry making his lip tremble. he bites down on it to calm himself, tilting his head just enough to sneak a glance in her direction; though he doesn't meet her eye, choosing to look at the ground behind her as he forces a smile on his face. "angel, what're you doin' here? I thought you were asleep." his voice squeaks during his greeting, failing to keep steady due to how sore his throat was.
"mhm, i woke up after the movie and your brothers' said you went to your room, but i couldn't find you ... so i thought you might be up here." she answers, and his attention is already focused to the city in front of him. she slowly scoots closer, soon at his side as they both take in the view of the city. when she tilts her head after a long silence, she feels another ache shock her body; his skin was raw and tear-stained, his eyes agitated from rubbing and glossy from the inner turmoil brewing in his heart. her eyes wander to his hand, where she spots a familiar image held tightly in his grasp, as if he was terrified to lose that memory. she smiles, reaching over to place a reassuring touch on his arm as she motions to the picture. "i thought we lost that," his attention is drawn to her hand, looking down at the picture. he shakes his head, a small yet genuine smile creeping on his face. "nope, i've kept it this entire time."
"wasn't that april's birthday, when she wanted to watch the sunset?"
"yeah, it was..."
"didn't you get stomped in that game of mario kart too?"
that catches the turtle's attention, his eyes raising to look at that playful grin on her face. he smirks, shaking his head as he's quick to rebuttal; "no, i let you all win only because it was april's birthday," he answers with a raised brow that makes her giggle, and it's the sweetest sound he's ever heard. though she sticks her tongue out in reply. "sure you did, raph."
"okay, be that way; but i don't wanna hear you cryin' when you lose next time!" his challenge makes the both of them laugh, and he shakes his head after the laughter dies down before looking back at the image. the playful jabbing eased some of his nerves, but that fear still made his chest ache. raph knows (name) sees it, though she says nothing as she rubs her hand affectionately against his arm, the touch reassuring on its own and not requiring words to be shared between them. he appreciates the space she gives, not pressuring him to talk but just being there to support him. he was concerned about sharing his burdens to her, though she does nothing but welcome it as she senses his hesitance.
"what's on your mind, teddy bear?"
raph breaks, venting every possible emotion he was possibly living in; his anxiety about the return of the kraang, his grief of failing to protect this city, and how he failed as the eldest of his brothers. how he couldn't protect them or prepare them for this world, and how his weakness almost became their downfall. tears fall somewhere between his rants, yet she never interrupts his rant as he spills out to her in soft cries. they've turned to face each other, her hands holding onto his hand and squeezing gently to comfort him. when he's finished, she leans closer to him with a smile.
"raphael, my love ... you are one of the strongest people i know. your bravery knows no bounds, and you'd sacrifice yourself a million times again before you'd let your brothers go. i've seen that determination in them as i've seen it in you; and that shows just how much you've taught them. it's not your fault that the burden of protecting the world has been handed to you, yet you've fought like hell to carry it so the world didn't have to; and you still continue to do so, despite the struggles you've faced,"
each word melts the turtle, and he looks at her with wide, glossy eyes as she cups his face between her hands and makes him face her.
"there isn't a measurement for how proud your family and i are to have you as a brother, son, and hero. we love you and will support you to the moon and beyond. as for whatever evils we face, we will fight them together as a team. we've always been stronger that way." her conclusion was reached as she leans closer, pressing a gentle kiss against his beak. his eyes are wide open, feeling his heart thump heavily in his chest. tears had stilled themselves during her monologue, but soon resumed as his chest ached at her words.
he pulls her tight against his plastron, winding his arms around her back and embracing her. raph minds his strength and tries not to hurt her, but she wraps her arms around his neck and holds him tighter anyways. he shakes and sniffles, relieved by her heartfelt words as they sit together in silence. when he calms down, he kisses the side of her temple and smiles against her skin.
"(name), you have no idea what that means to me ... thank you."
she grins, pulling away to look up into his eyes and wipe his cheeks with her thumbs.
"of course, raph. i'll be here forever, as long as you want me to be."
which makes him all flustered and gets her laughing. he grins, the love behind his eyes almost sickening as he still holds you close.
"always, angel. always."
even if he's just trying to tease her, the sincerity laced within his loving tone was enough to make her heart skip a million beats.
"good ... so why don't we go back to the lair so i can beat you at mario kart AGAIN?"
"game. on. you are so gonna eat those words, (name)!"
Listen. Y’all. The ninja turtles may be ninja turtles turtles. But they are also… teenagers. What’s with all this gritty depressing shit, I wanna see Leo invite over a bunch of human friends for a party and setting ground rules that are immediately broken. Mikey puts out a bowl of nachos. Donatello is holed up in his room with the another autistic people and they are doing nerd shit like playing magic the gathering or dnd. Raph is trying very hard to clean up after everyone at first but then he gives in and wins the “who can drink the most root beer floats” contest.
And then, of course, their father comes home. They are all grounded.
Heya beautiful sunshine! How's going? Eating and drinking enough water? Really hope so!
I was thinking about this for a long time so,i'm gonna just drop it here for you :)
2012 or Rise Leo and reader (female or neutral, your choise) who's just can't see the obvious hints that he gives to her about he's feelings aways thinking that is a joke and one day, Leo just had enough and kiss her deeply looking into her eyes before the kiss and confess (probably again lol).
(Sorry if my english sounds weird, i still learning 😅)
me, beautiful sunshine?! NO YOU !! *dramatically places down reverse Uno card*
but, you have requested one of my favorite tropes, the "Partner A relentlessly flirting and Partner B just not getting it."
i also did this with rise!leo so i hope you don't mind! i color-coded the dialogue too so you could get a sense on who's talking (also bc my brain likes the color). i hope you like this one!
put a break below because i got a little carried away ... sorry. :-)
Take The Hint. || Rise!Leo x GN!Reader
"(Name), you're absolutely beautiful today. ~"
"Aw, you really think so? Thanks, Leo; you're beautiful too."
Then you walk away with an oblivious smile, leaving a stunned Leo frozen in place. His brothers try to hide their smirks as April shakes her head with her shoulders trembling from quiet giggles. While it was amusing to see the turtle's advances backfire, it was also torture that made them flinch from the second-hand embarrassment.
Leo watches you sit, your eyes glued to your phone as you scroll mindlessly through social media. His confidence rolls off of his shell, shoulders slack with defeat as he racks his brain for answers. It feels like he's tried every solution in the "Top 100 Ways to Hint to Your Crush You Like Them" article he found on the internet; Going out of his way to do things for you, hanging out with you, and pick up lines so obvious it makes him want to pull hair out when you don't understand him; and he doesn't even have hair!
"I told you (Name) wouldn't get it; Now, pay up." Donnie smirks, holding his plate out with a raised brow. "Fine." Raph grumbles and reluctantly sacrifices his slice of pizza to the purple-clad turtle. Leo's head snaps over, jaw dropped as he gawks at the scene he's witnessed. "You guys placed a bet about it?!" He screeches, ready to strangle them from embarrassment before Mikey stands next to him and places a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He turns to look at his brother, though he doesn't like that scheming look in his eye as he smiles. "Don't worry, bro; This is a job for Dr. Delicate Touch," He struts forward before Leo yanks him back. "Mikey, no!"
April then settles the two, looking at Leo with a reassuring look as she looks at you, absolutely not aware to the chaos around you. "Listen, why don't I take them home tonight and you plan a really romantic evening tomorrow so you can just help them get a clue and confess to them?"
A great idea, finally. Why hadn't he thought of it sooner? He wasn't sure, but after you left, he sat in solitude and thought about some of the most romantic places in New York City, your favorite food and hobbies, your laugh, and ... he had gotten distracted by his nerves and just thinking about you, because he couldn't get you off of his mind. As he stares at the ceiling at 2 AM that night, he convinces himself that you had to be unaware of his advances; right? Maybe you guys were so friendly before he started flirting more that you didn't realize that he was genuinely trying and wanting to be with you ... yeah, that has to be it.
Otherwise, he'll feel like the sorest loser in the entire world.
He feels like backing out, but after getting a stern look from April, he decides to stomach his nerves for now and play it cool; as he always does, of course. He takes you out for the night, doing some of your favorite things before taking you to the rooftop of a really tall building, the artificial city lights clashing with the natural brightness of the moon and stars lighting the dark sky. The both of you talk and eat some of your favorite food, just enjoying the other's company with the faint city noise filling in for some moments of silence.
He feels his heart pound against his plastron and his guts twist in his stomach as he watches you, the longing of being with you filling him with a sickening dread; if he's rejected, he might just melt and spill away from you. Though he's excited at the relief of you finally understanding his advances and reciprocating his feelings, and how lucky he'll be to have you as his partner. He relaxes with a deep breath before turning his body to face yours.
"(Name)?"
You turn your head at his call, pausing the moment you look over to read his expression. His demeanor appears cool, though his small smile and that look his eye was much more serious compared to his playful attitude. It makes your heart flutter a bit, and you're thankful the lack of light in this area could hide your flustered expression. "What's up, Leo?" You reply, turning to face him but a bit surprised when he reaches out to hold your hand in his, scooting closer to you. "You mean a lot to me, you know that? You've not only shown kindness to me, but my family, and that is more than I could ever ask for from anyone in the world. I want you to be in my life forever, (Name); I love you."
It was all from his vulnerable little heart; a piece that he hides behind playful one-liners and nonchalant behavior, and that much you could see. Leo knows that too and feels like he can't breathe as he holds his breath so he can hear your answer. What he doesn't expect after his heart-felt confession is that oblivious look in your eye and your small smile as you laugh a bit.
"Very funny, Leo. Did your brothers put you up to this?"
When he realized you didn't know, he felt his face drain of color. His stunned expression confuses you, as you assumed he'd grin and nod as his brothers would reveal themselves with laughter. He groans, smacking his face hard before peeking at you from behind his fingers; he tried to convince himself you were just messing with him, but that adorable, confused puppy-face you gave him said everything.
So he reaches forward, grabs your face, and gently pulls you inches away from his own.
"(Name), seriously?! Do you have any idea how long I've been trying to confess, huh?! I looked up how to drop obvious hints; way too obvious hints, for you, and you STILL DON'T REALIZE?!"
He can feel your heated cheeks against his fingers and see the surprise in your wide eyes, but you shake your head in his grip as you interrupt him.
"Look, you can drop the bit now; It's funny!"
"THAT'S IT, (NAME)!"
You gasp when he closes the distance between you, his lips crashing against yours and silencing you. Leo doesn't force you to stay, his grip loosens to encourage you to pull away if you're uncomfortable, but he's surprised when you stay frozen in place. He pulls away seconds later to look at you, a bit amused with himself at causing such a funny expression to sit across your features. "I'm not repeating myself all over again, but if it makes you get a clue, I will. I LOVE YOU, (Full Name). I want you to be my partner ... So will you be mine?"
Your hand falls to your lips, surprised at how he stole that kiss from you. The realization hit you like a train, and you felt the embarrassment make your face burn as you recall the hints he was talking about. It also washes a relief over you, because you had developed the quietest crush on him and assumed he'd never return the feeling; so, you had settled for daydreaming and having a friendship, but knowing he liked you too was a warm feeling that spread from your heart to your body.
When you nod and say yes, Leo flashes a playful grin as he leans forward to kiss your warm cheek.
just wanted to make a quick update to apologize about my inactivity! i’ve been swamped with work and it’s dampened my energy to write, but i should have some time to finish requests and some other stuff i started soon.
thanks for your support! i hope i’ll have some time to write again soon. 💜💜
hi !! i love your writing and was wondering if you'd be able to write about the rise turtles and how they'd celebrate reader's birthday with them? platonic or romantic headcanons are fine! you can just do them all together or separately.
if you don't wanna write it that's totally fine; just craving some fluff and i'm always happier in my birthday month.
happy birthday to me !!
i can hear this gif i hope you can too
the way i giggled when i saw the gif please -
but!!! happy birth month bb!!! i'm blowing you a kiss most respectfully
birthday headcanons
Raph! ❤️
the whole group is definitely planning something for you, but they each want to do something small for you, all on their own. and for Raph, it's an early-morning rooftop hangout
you're used to it now, but the first few times you nearly screamed when waking up to Raph trying his best to be quiet as he snuck into your room. spoiler alert: he wasn't very quiet.
the two of you will swing by a spot to pick up breakfast at the crack of dawn, and then Raph drags you up to his favorite roof so you two can watch the sun rise together.
you're not exactly thrilled at the timing, but Raph insists that it has to be the early morning - "it's the quietest part of your birthday, it's the perfect time!"
Raph will take this time to give you a small, unofficial gift. it's usually something he's made by hand, a new sweater or a tiny lil crocheted stuffed animal.
then he hits you with a little heartfelt speech.
it's nothing too deep, he just makes sure you know how happy he is to have met you, and praises you for how you've made it another year.
if you're dating, Raph will absolutely take the chance to re-affirm his devotion to you. you're one of the best things that's happened to him and he reminds you of that always, but he's dead serious about it on your birthday.
he takes you back home after that and gives you the biggest hug, and a sweet kiss if you're dating, before promising to see you later in the day.
Donnie! 💜
Donnie is the most subtle about doing something with you on your birthday.
he'll find you in the middle of the day when you're not busy and complain about needing to get his mind off of whatever new project he's working on, and insists that you pick something for them to do.
"it's your day, you choose. just don't choose something sciencey, i'm scienced out."
whatever you pick, he happily goes along with. for the next hour or two it's all about you.
if you're dating, Donnie gets more physically affectionate than he usually is. he keeps it casual, either holding your hand or wrapping an arm around you loosely. you get plenty of kisses everywhere.
if you're just friends, he gets more playful. little teases and jokes just to make you smile and laugh a little more.
after a couple of hours he'll claim that he needs to head back and wishes you a happy birthday before giving you a quick hug or kiss and heading out.
it's only after he leaves that you find whatever gift he left for you - usually a tech item he's made himself, with a happy birthday note attached.
Leo! 💙
Leo bursts in singing happy birthday off-key every year without fail, before sweeping you into a huge hug.
he's so thrilled whenever your birthday rolls around and will celebrate like it's his own.
Leo gives you a gift before doing anything else. if he thinks your thumb is green enough he'll give you a plant, or else he'll give you a nicknack from his extensive collection that he feels reminds him of you.
he goes in the opposite route from Donnie and picks something for you two to do for a few hours instead of letting you pick.
you've snuck into concerts or events, gotten lunch, checked out fairs or amusement parks in the mystic city, if something's going on that Leo thinks you'll enjoy, you're doing it.
if you're dating, he showers you in even more affection than usual. he's holding your hand the whole time, and will happily tell anyone who asks that you're his partner and that it's your birthday.
if you're his friend, he still holds onto your hand practically the whole time and tells the whole world it's his bestie's birthday.
"oh yeah it's y/n's birthday today so i figured i'd do something nice for 'em, y'know? say happy birthday to them!"
when you guys are done, Leo takes you home and gives you one last hug, telling you how happy he is to celebrate with you and how excited he is to see you later before heading back to the lair to help with the turtles' surprise for you.
Mikey! 🧡
after Raph's early morning shenanigans, Mikey is the first of the other three to wish you a happy birthday every year.
he'll call you up in the morning and sing you happy birthday before hyping you up to have the best day possible.
"it's all about you baby! slay the day! do what you wanna do!"
he shows up later in the day to take you out to make something together.
there are plenty of pottery shops, art classes, candle making spaces, glassworking studios, and things like that in the mystic city, and he loves going to one of these places to make you a gift while also spending time with you.
he insists that you guys trade whatever you make, so you get Mikey's and he gets yours.
there's not much difference in the day if you're dating or just friends, but if you're dating Mikey will always give you a ring pop as a gift before taking you out.
he'll take you to get a quick bite to eat before taking you home, where you guys usually trade your crafts before Mikey tells you to enjoy the rest of your day and runs off to get ready for later that night.
the turtles + April! 💚
once your day is done, you're always greeted by April, who walks with you to the lair.
the boys have naturally decked the place out for the night's festivities, and even though they've all spent time with you already they greet you like they haven't seen you in ages.
they order out from your favorite restaurant and Mikey bakes you your favorite dessert, and they all sing happy birthday before the real fun begins.
you guys spend the night full-on partying - dancing, karaoke, party games, it's a blast!
they all make time to present you with a present from the group, something they know you've been wanting but haven't gotten yourself yet.
it's never officially a slumber party or anything, but every year you all end up crashing in the lair together, tired but happy to have spent your special day together with you.
Hello there! Is it alright if I ask for rottmnt donnie and leo with a reader that speaks a different language? (And if I may be specific, could that language be german?)
Sorry if this is of any inconvenience :>
hello anon! thank you so much for this request; not an inconvenience at all! i don't know german myself, but i've always wanted to learn! it's a really interesting language (as they all are), i just have no initiative or patience to teach myself. oops.
i wasn't sure what to write (platonic or romantic), so i hope you don't mind that i made these headcanons with an s/o reader.
i hope you enjoy!

Disaster Twins With An S/O Who Speaks German
-
Donnie
when he first hears you speak german, he falls in love HARDER
he loves hearing your voice as it is, but in another language?
even if he doesn't know it at first, he will listen to you when you speak all the time
because, as we all know, donnie consumes all kinds of knowledge in his genius little turtle brain
so he'll start learning the language in his spare time
within a month, he has a lot of words memorized
add a couple and you could say he's pretty fluent for a beginner in the language
he learns all of this without really telling you, of course, because he has this perfect idea in mind
and one day, as the two of you are hanging out in his lab, he stops tinkering on his tech and watches you watch something on your phone
he sits up, catching your attention before asking you out in german
you're eyes almost pop out of your head; you're totally stunned!
and also extremely flustered by how good his german is
his grammar is excellent, though his accent/tone is a little off
you do answer with a yes, and he grins smugly at your embarassed state
when you realize how invested he is into learning your language, it makes you really happy
so you help him practice by having full conversations in german
if he's annoyed with his brothers, he'll start mumbling about them under his breath and hiss german insults (about leo mostly tbh)
Leo
stares at you with wide eyes, confusion visible on the turtle's face
it made you laugh, and he swears his heart banged against his plastron
"...you speak english? thank you, for saving me."
you seemed a little lost in your tone, and he could sense you were hesitant because english wasn't your first language
but he just grins, all but flirtatious as he swoons leans closer to you
"any time, stranger ... so what's your name?"
he makes sure to speak clearly and refrain from using too much slang when he's talking to you so you can understand
like donnie, he could literally listen to you speak for hours
he learns the language over a longer period of time compared to donnie
at least a year into knowing you, he probably knows a good amount of vocabulary and some sentences
mainly learns how to flirt with you and insult his enemies
despite his flirtatious personality, he has his heart set on you and only you
so he'll learn a lot more and practice how to confess/ask you out in german
but his first mistake was looking up how to say the full phrase online
though when the time comes, he messes up and says something way off from what he meant to say
you could tell because of the date he set up and that charming expression on his face when he said it; clearly obvious he was gonna confess to you, just didn't say what he meant to
probably something like "i eat toenails"
he got trolled by the internet
when you start laughing out loud, his heart aches and he is mortified did you really have to laugh at his confession?!
probably the first time you saw his confidence fall
"(name), please don't laugh, i .. i want to be with you and-"
"leo, i want to be with you too; i love you, but that's not what you said!"
