CW: Choking, fawn response

"Silly mouse! You had me worried sick!"

Mickey left for just a few minutes. Less than five. Yet his 'big brother' had freaked out in that short amount of time. As if the mouse would never return.

Now, the older rabbit was hugging him so tight he couldn't breathe.

He couldn't breathe.

The rabbit was practically choking him.

"I was worried Gus was leading you away to get hurt! I can't let that happen! What kind of friend would I be? Let alone brother!" Oswald tightened his hug, unaware that Mickey was turning slightly purple.

Mickey clung to Oswald's arm, feeling his neck start to bruise as Oswald hugged him tighter and tighter, going on and on about how scared he was of losing the one good thing he had left. That he couldn't let the mouse out of his sight like that again.

'Would he snap my neck of I tried running?'

Mickey's vision was going to go black. He could barely hear Gus screaming at Oswald to let him go, followed with Oswald telling Gus to go to hell and die.

"Oswald stop! Please! You're hurting him!"

"No I'm not! Fuck off!"

"Let him go! He can't breathe!"

"He's fine! And why should I let him go?! So you can miss with his head again?! Hell no!"

"For the love of god!"

If Oswald didn't let go soon...

Mickey swallowed thickly, letting his knees buckle and fall. His body collided into Oswald, both arms wrapping around the rabbit. He began crying pathetically.

"I'm sorry!" Mickey cried, his voice a shrill whine as he sobbed. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be gone that long! P-Please don't be mad! I promise I won't go far again!" He whimpered, putting on a helpless act to appease the rabbit. No longer fighting. He clung to Oswald, saying whatever would make the rabbit calm down so he'd just let go.

And he did.

Oswald gave Mickey a proper hug, holding him close with his own tears welling in his eyes. "Hey, it's alright. I'm sorry too. Didn't mean to scare you."

Mickey didn't say much, only gasping for air desperately while trying to be subtle and not show how shaken he was from Oswald's hold. He didn't want to cause another spiral from his older brother.

'I'll have bruises...'

When Oswald finally let go properly, he took Mickey's hand. "Come on, let's get going. You wanted to collect more pins, right? I know where a couple are."

Mickey let Oswald lead the way. For now, he'd do what the rabbit wanted.

Much to his dismay and much to Gus' horror.

For @the-shy-guy-096 and their new Brothers Together AU!

Do you ship any of the turtles with anyone? or do you ship anything in rise at all?

(This ended up being a lot longer an answer than I intended hoo boy sorry about that)

Hmmm, I’m not too big a shipper tbh! Especially since I really enjoy canon interactions backing my ships, so it’s hard for me to actively like any that don’t really have that going for them. There’s plenty that I see around that I think are cute, but that’s usually the extent of my thought process for them.

For ships I more actively have, I guess I like AprilxSunita! They’re very very cute and I think they have some huge meet cute energy in their first episode together, and their chemistry is genuinely adorable (plus them being featured means more April screentime which is ALWAYS a good thing.)

I also think AprilxCasey (and when I say Casey I mean our OG girl) is really good, as I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers, and I think they have a lot in common and just bounce off each other very well (not to mention this ship in other iterations of TMNT has a loooooot going for it.)

Keeping the chain going, I think RaphxCasey (again, OG Casey) is also one with a tonnnnn of potential. They have a lot of common characteristics, and considering Raph’s whole thing with Franken-Foot, I really think there’s a lot of room there for a relationship to develop. Plus, like AprilxCasey, Raph and Casey tend to have a close relationship throughout the iterations of TMNT and it would be great to see that more with these two, even if not romantically.

Actually going back to enemies to lovers, I unironically think there’s a ton going for DonniexKendra. I know a lot of people hate this ship, but I don’t and I actually think it could very easily work whether in a love-hate way or a slow burn way. There’s a lot to like here and honestly they’re good together! Kendra is legit Donnie’s type too haha (cute, but mean.)

Lastly, SplinterxDraxum is good…when done right. I really like when people take it and don’t undermine the very real trauma that Splinter has gone through. As I’ve stated a lot, I love me some enemies to lovers, so I can see the potential here. Plus lbr Draxum was down BAD for Lou Jitsu when he first saw him haha.

I think that’s the extent to what I actively like? Everything else usually falls into “aw cute” or “ehhh not for me thanks”. And before you ask YES leosagi is cute and I’ll read fics with it if the premise is appealing, but I’m afraid I need some canon interactions to establish base character dynamics before I actively ship it alas.😔 Super cute though, no hate to it or any of the other CanonxCharacter-they’ve-never-met ships, I genuinely think people should just have fun! And for what it’s worth I really do wish we got a Usagi and Leo interaction in Rise like we have in other iterations.:(

So yeah. Overall, I have a few ships I enjoy, but I fall much more in the “prefer to keep everyone to themselves and make the focus family and friendship” category.

Not dnp related, but I just saw that Roosterteeth is shutting down and my mind is blown. I haven't watched them since high school since that's around the time they stopped making the content I enjoyed and diversified way too much to the point that it was hard to keep up. It's honestly really sad to see, they made such wonderful stuff early on and im assuming it's Warner that destroyed them but god I just feel bad for them all on insta at the moment begging for work. That's fucked up... it seems like there was absolutely no heads up. You could tell it was coming eventually but I guess I'm still in the mindset of the RT Podcast and Achievement Hunter being my favourite things in the world even though both have been gone for ages now. Just really sucks and my heart goes out to the ogs that have been blindsided.
