Drew @sady-is-secretly-an-alchemist ‘s Sam and my Rise!Stella. Thanks for letting me borrow your girl for a bit, it helped me solidify the color and style I wanted for Rise!Stella! And Sam is just the absolute cutest.

(Stella’s hair being pink instead of strawberry blonde is so fun for me.)

RISE STELLANARDO IS STUCK IN MY HEAD, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW????

This is your fault, @monebula-art and @sooahbites /lh

[crimsonwolf715]

Rise!TMNT oc x canon tidbit of the day I got from a convo with @sady-is-secretly-an-alchemist.

Rise iteration of Stellanardo are clingy. Not just cuddly like they are in every other iteration, straight up clinging to each other like there's no other option than closeness as soon as she's comfortable. Leo's arm slung around Stella’s shoulders, Stella holding on to Leo’s arm, sitting practically on top of each other, holding hands while they walk, back to back in training situations. They prefer being as close as possible and they stay like that until someone or something forces distance. (They're genuinely insufferable guys, I love them)

*climbs in through the window despite owning a key* Why Hello There

I’m back with more questions for 2018 Leo and Stella this time

💥 🌿 🧡 🧩 🌅 💌

It took me forever to find this leaf 👀

General Kenobi

You know you can just come in through the door, right @starlight0825 ? Anyway, apologies on the leaf taking so long to find lololol (it also took me forever to find, damn it). Rise!Stellanardo, they are very dear to me. Probably shown from the amount that I've posted about them 🫡

💥 (What's the biggest risk one of them took for the other that the partner didn't find out about until much later?)

So I had to think about this one for a while. Honestly, it's super cliché, but Leo fought The Master (leader of Organization 14) so that it could buy time for the others to save Stella. It was after they beat Shredder at the end of season two. Stella was given back to Organization 14 by Big Mama after she lost to Donnie (she threw the fight because Donnie needed to be with his brothers). They were already worn out but that didn't stop them from rushing headfirst into the Headquarters of Organization 14. The Master showed up to try stopping them and Leo told the others to go get Stella, that he'd hold him off. Leo barely made it out of that fight alive and he made the others swear not to tell her until she was recovered. She was rightly horrified and angry with him when she figured out (from The Master), more for keeping it than doing it, but she stuck very close to him for a while after.

🌿 (Do they want kids/pets/plants together? What do they name them?)

OKAY SO THIS QUESTION IS A LITTLE LOADED. So Stella gets a puppy that was experimented on by Organization 14 in between the show and the movie (no I don't have an exact time), and Slushy (the puppy) does not like Leo at first. That changes and Slushy loves both of them. I have flirted with the idea of giving them a kid, but I haven't planned that far ahead.

🧡 (What color reminds each of them of the other?)

Stella: Light green

Leo: A tie between yellow and orange

Little extra tidbit of them telling you what their favorite colors.

Stella: "What color reminds me of Leo? So the obvious answer is blue, because he's Leonardo 'blue' Hamato. And technically that isn't wrong, I do think of him when I think of the color blue sometimes but honestly I think of him a lot more often when I see green. A lighter green, similar to grass."

Leo: "Color that reminds me of Stell-Bell? A yellow/orange color, kinda like a sunrise if I have to give a visual. Yup, that's the one."

🧩 (What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?)

Leo: Once she's comfortable, Stella does lots of hand/arm gestures while she's talking. She's conscious of the people in the room (unless very stressed/overwhelmed) so she doesn't really hit people, but it's always indicative of how she's feeling.

Stella: When Leo switches between languages because he's anxious/excited. She thinks it's adorable even though she sometimes has no idea what is being said and he has to reexplain, which he always does with no complaint.

🌅 (Do they go on sunrise/stargazing dates? Which one do they love more?)

They go on both sunrise and stargazing dates, and their favorites are different. Stella prefers sunrise dates while Leo prefers stargazing dates. No it's not because Leo just wants to be asleep when the sun comes up. Stella loves the way that the sunrise paints everything, she similarly loves sunsets for this reason. Leo loves the way she lights up during sunrise, so whenever the day is harder on her, he'll suggest them and watch as she excitedly waits for the sun to rise.

💌 (Who leaves little love notes & where do they hide them?)

Fun fact I thought I was never gonna share before writing it in the fic, Leo actually leaves notes around the lair for Stella when they leave for patrol. When she gets rescued from The Ossuary, she's pretty injured and doesn't leave Leo's room much (Leo's staying in Donnie's room). So every time they go out, he'll leave a few notes in the main room/kitchen/bathroom. They weren't inherently romantic in the beginning since he didn't know how she would handle being quite that direct, but they became more and more romantic as their relationship developed. They're "hidden" in the sense that somebody would have to do a little looking to find them, but they're barely hidden.

[crimsonwolf715]

Rise!TMNT oc x canon tidbit of the day. After getting away from The Ossuary and going home with the Turtles, Stella is super self-conscious when doing things for the first time, specifically things that most people would have done for the first time when they were really young. Learning to ride a bike, cooking, and dancing are examples. Leo, who doesn't quite understand why she's self-conscious considering it makes perfect sense to him that she hasn't done those things, finds ways to playfully help her. Playful helping takes the pressure off of both of them and they enjoy it a lot more than the one time Leo was like “hey, noticed this was bothering you, can I interest you in (insert solution here)?”.

They’re dumb, your honor, but cute so I spare them /silly

[crimsonwolf715]

Y’all I so desperately have other projects I need to work on but I just watched Rise of the TMNT show/movie in like two weeks(?) and Rise!Stella is calling me.

My other TMNT iterations, my Miraculous AU, my Resident Evil fic, they all need my attention. New ideas tho.

Sigh

[crimsonwolf715]

TMNT oc x canon tidbit for the day. Stella introduces Leo to a bunch of different shows and they usually agree on their takes. When they don't agree, it always leads to heated but loving debates. They can and will argue about it until the sun goes down, but they also understand that they aren't always gonna agree on things. Very different lives before meeting and the difference in world views. They still respect each other anyway.

I love them, your honor. (And yes, Stella has seen all of Space Heroes and loves it. Mostly because Leo does but it does have some compelling arcs and good characters)

[crimsonwolf715]

I know I asked people to ask questions about my ships and totally still do that if you want to, but questions about just my OCs are also super appreciated. Kinda in a slump with plotting so it would be really helpful to have people ask me questions, because then I'm not the only one expecting the answers. Whatever iteration works because I've got them at least somewhat planned for all the ones I write for. Thanks in advance to anyone who sends asks 💙❤️💜🧡

(Also you can ask about the new OC I've been planning, just preface the questions with you're asking for Moon and it has to be 2012 or Rise)
