ok I have some random lighthearted asks for tmnt regression cuz after that last chapter I think it’s needed LOL (you can ignore or skip these if you want to)
what’s each turtles favorite snack? do they usually go for sweet or savory?
how do they feel about animals? are they more dog people or cat people?
do any of them have any allergies?
andddd what kind of music do they like? :3
Truly you do not have to give me permission to ignore these I’m never gonna. I love your asks.
Snacks
Leo enjoys a healthy snack. They aren’t always able to have fruits and vegetables in the lair but when they do he’s excited to have them to munch on.
Donnie is not really a snacker. He forgets to eat for hours on end and then has a giant meal to make up for it. When he does eat he enjoys everything. He’ll swipe candy from April, douse his food in hot sauce on a whim, anything that’ll save him from boredom (under stimulation) fastest.
Raph doesn’t snack either. Not unless it’s an emergency situation that throws off his eating schedule. He is incredibly picky about what he keeps in his pouch on the off chance that happens, and even then it’s more about texture than flavor. He just needs something that has a consistent texture and doesn’t have an aftertaste.
Mikey has a sweet tooth. He’ll sneak the occasional candy bar when no one’s looking and tends to keep something sweet near him in his room while he’s animating. He’s the kind of guy to eat a bowl of chocolate chips.
You asked about the turtles but I’m including April too. She also has a considerable sweet tooth. I’ve mentioned the secret stash of candy before, that Donnie dips his fingers into from time to time. She tends to gravitate toward sour candy though.
Pets
Mikey is a cat person through and through. He loves them. They tend to remind him of his brothers, and he’ll try to adopt them all the time. Leo’s not pleased.
Leo is the kind of guy to complain about the new pet in the house and then come home with five new toys “just in case it’s bored”. He’s a performative pet hater. He wants to be the favorite.
Donnie enjoys dogs and cats both. So does April. They like any pet really.
Raph feels REALLY WEIRD ABOUT PETS. He is too acutely aware of the fact that he’s also an animal. Keeping a pet in the house is just such an uncomfortable idea to him.
Allergies
No allergies. I actually didn’t think of that during development. Go figure.
Music taste
April has trained these boys up in the way of eighties and nineties hip hop. It’s what her parents listen to, it’s what she listens to, and it’s what the turtles listen to. If they’re hanging out and want music, that’s the easy pick.
On their own, Leo pulls toward anything with soft guitar. Latin jazz tends to sit nice in his ears, or folk music. He’ll listen to almost anything though. He always loves learning and music is a part of history.
Donnie sticks to hip hop generally. He’s got this busted up old boom box that he keeps in the workshop and that’s what sounds best on the speakers. He starts to get a soft spot for older R&B love songs later in life. For reasons I won’t yet disclose.
Raph is a city pop nut. It scratches a particular itch in his brain. If he has his headphones on, it’s probably a Japanese woman belting her heart out over synthesizer. He eats it up. As does a close ally we will meet in season two.
Mikey’s kind of an everything guy. Anything he can animate to, which is usually a good show tune, pop song, or some rock music.
They do have some karaoke night classics outside of the general range of enjoyment. White girl music is very popular when it’s karaoke night, and they do have personalized choreo to more than one *NSYNC song. Man or a Muppet is also very popular.
