The lovely @trilobitepunch draws and does cutouts for ROTTMNT.
And so I commissioned trilo to do THIS:
Because clearly, thelaundrybitch needs Leon being hung out to dry on the clothesline 😂💖
LMAO!!! Donnie's judgy face is EVERYTHING.
Below is my silly snippet that the OG cutout of "hung up" Leon brought about (along with a couple of my own OCs):
For context:
Sunshine is my OG Laundry bitch.
Liz is a Celestial Guardian with two deadly chained daggers (Luna & Solaris), who can and will beat ass should the occasion call for it.
Intro: D finds Liz sitting in a lounge chair, wearing a cute little sundress and a big brimmed hat, sipping a pomegranate margarita. He looks from her to Leon and inquires how his dumdum brother ended up in such a predicament.
Liz: "Well, you see…."
💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
Premise:
Leonardo has tried to use the washing machine again. It always results in suds flooding the entire laundry room, leaving Sunshine to clean the mess. Once again, Sunshine has indeed cleaned up Leon's mess, and as she's finishing up, Leon comes strolling in with that signature smirk of his on full display.
Leon: Placing a basket of laundry on the folding table and knocking over 3 piles of clean towels onto the floor. "Oh, Hey Sunshine! You look awfully bubbly today."
Sunshine: Completely unimpressed: "Leonardo. I swear to pizza supreme…"
Angelo: Stands up in shock, hands flying to his mouth as he had been helping Sunshine clean the disaster GASPS, "She used the almighty's name in vain!"
Sunshine: "If I find you creeping around in my laundry room again, I'ma hang your ass out to dry."
Leon: Smug smirk.
Sunshine: "I'm not playing. You will be dangling on the high line. Flapping in the breeze like a wet rag."
Leon: smirking "Awww… C'mon…"
Sunshine: Glaring
Leon: snickering "I'd like to see you try, Sunny D."
Sunshine: Chases him out of the laundry room with the rug-beating bat while he cackles
~3 days later~
Leon: attempting to do a load of laundry because he got a stain on D's favorite sweatshirt when he spilled D's coffee, being a reckless idiot.
Sunshine: Glare
Leon: "Oh, hey, Sunny-"
Liz: Steps out from behind Sunshine and drops Luna and Solaris to their chains.
Leon: "Well fuck."
💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
D: Looking up at Leon, "I should leave you there." Looks back at Liz. "Unfortunately, I need him."
Liz: "With all due respect, D… Absofuckinglutely not."
D: "He must pay for his crimes against the spilling of coffee on my favorite hoodie."
Liz: Smiles wickedly and hands her drink to D. "Well then, I rescind my declination. Allow me to assist."
Leon: "Eugh, boy."
Thank you so much for the beautiful cutouts @trilobitepunch ! They make me smile every time I sit at my desk!

LAUNDRY! 💙💚💜
17. What is your favorite line you’ve ever written?
My favorite line? My gosh, uuuuuuuh... 😅 This is when I know I've written for too long. I think it depends entirely on the character, to be honest. Sometimes, I'm going to have moments where the character comes together in one sentence, and those are my favorites. The most recent?
"What's mine?"
31. Tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to write
I have two of those, right now! 😄 First one is Mikey because obvious, but it's the second one I'm going to share here because I didn't expect him to get as much love as he did.
Alastair Faulkner.
That sixty-five-year-old veteran has been an absolute joy to write with his no-nonsense attitude, all while being caring. I love the fact that it's easy to tell that he's been through a lot, he knows who his friends are, and he has this deep love for the next generation that is carrying the mantle, all while knowing that they're still kids. Alastair Faulkner is a dad through and through, and he cares for those he loves.
47. What story are you most proud of?
The story I'm the most proud of is always my latest. Right now? That's A Shot In The Dark and all of its complementary material. There has been so much going into this singular story that pretty much stands on its own that I'm impressed with myself! This... has been a ride I've been on for a year, and I've been enjoying myself on it.
... In fact... I've been enjoying myself so much that I feel comfortable enough in announcing that there are likely three more stories that'll be coming out in the ASITD universe, if we can call it that. One for each of the turtles. I doubt they'll be as elaborate as ASITD, but I think they'll be worth the ride. 😉
IM DOING IT!!!! I am participating in the 4-1 Challenge written by my friends @turtle-babe83 @thelaundrybitch @tmnt-tychou @post-apocalyptic-daydream @leosgirl82 and @nittleboo (whose account for some reason won't let me tag it 🙃)
This isn't an 'x reader' fic but it is hilarious, I hope you enjoy!!!!!
Warnings: um so technically this is 18+ because it talks heavily about sex and there may or may not be a teeny tiny "smut" scene at the end, well I can't even call it that, but sexy times are heavily implied. (If you don't like smut it's under the '~~~~~' line so just skip that part if it makes you uncomfortable)
Casey Jones had been a loyal and trusting friend of the turtles for over a year now.
He helped them with the Kraang and promised to keep their secret. He was funny, a stubborn piece of shit, and their best friend.
He often picked up takeout for them and rented movies and even went out super late with the guys to play some basketball at an abandoned court.
About two or three weeks ago, Caseys buildings washing machine finally hit the bucket, the old machine was dead and no amount of faith or new parts could bring it back.
Even Donnie had looked at it and agreed it was dead.
At first April had offered her buildings machine, and he agreed for a little bit, then when the water bill got a little too high for her liking, the boys stepped up and offered him their machine.
Now Mikey was sneaking up to the surface after dinner and rushing to Casey's place.
Mikey had misplaced his favorite pair of boxes and he was sure it got mixed in with Casey's laundry.
Casey had agreed that Mikey could look through his basket that he had yet to put away.
He lived about 15 minutes from the lair, but with a rocket board it took 8 ½ minutes. He landed on the fire escape with a quiet thud and slid the living room window open.
"Case? You home?" Mikey peered around, stomping his feet on the mat he had placed under the window. "Don't freak out dude, its just Mikey," He called again, still not getting an answer.
Maybe he stepped out for a minute? Or maybe he just went to the bathroom?
Mikey shrugged sauntering through the rookie detectives apartment and opening his bedroom door. At the foot of the bed was a tall gray laundry basket filled with clean clothes.
Without thinking twice, Mikey started rummaging through the clothes. He saw a lot of cool band t-shirts that he wish he could steal, several pairs of very tight pants and boring black boxer briefs.
After dumping out and sorting through the whole basket, Mikey stepped back with a huff. Hands on his hips he throught for a moment, this basket was from just the other day, his underwear has been missing for over 5 days.....so he must've put them away thinking they were his!!!
In his text, Casey had said he had full permission to go through his laundry, so that clearly must mean the stuff in his dresser.
Having no shame, Mikey went up to Casey's dresser and started opening all the drawers. When he found the socks and underwear drawer he pawed through them, his underwear was a bright color so it should be easy to spot.
But something else caught his attention, as he moved a few pairs out of the way, something.....lacy.....hit his hand. Pulling out said underwear made Mikey stop, holding the pair between his two pointer fingers.
These were April's. He knew that because one time April had started her period while he was over and had texted asking for a new pair. Mikey -having no idea what a period was- had grabbed this exact thong.
Why was it in Casey's dress-
"JESUS, MIKE!" Casey yelped, coming into the room, not expecting to see the youngest turtle. "Don't scare me like that, dude," He laughed, running a hand over his hair.
Casey's smile dropped when he saw what exactly Mikey was doing....and holding.
"Why do you have a pair of her panties in your dresser?"
"WHY ARE YOU IN MY DRESSER?!"
Mikey glanced at Casey, never had he seen him so startled, his eyes were wide and his face bright red.
He hoped the underwear was an accident, maybe something leftover from when he used April's machine a week ago, but it was clear the only mistake was someone finding them.
"Are you-?!" Mikey gasped, dropping the thong to the floor like it was poisoned, hands covering his large mouth.
"Mike, I can explain-" Casey took a step into the room.
"Have you and April-?!" Came Mikeys muffled question, still not removing his hands. He couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
Casey cringed, looking away, he wasn't sure how but Casey turned an even darker red.
"Oh my god, you guys still are?!" Mikeys hands slid up his face to cover his eyes, he turned away from Casey, groaning as if he were in pain.
"Alright just....just listen, Mikey-"
"You banged my sister?!" Mikey all but screamed, Casey sighed, running a hand down his face.
"Whose bangin' whose sister?" Casey's stomach dropped hearing Raphs voice in the living room.
He slowly turned, seeing the giant red behemoth standing about ten feet away, stomping his shoes on the mat by the window.
"Raph, what're you doing here?" Casey quickly asked, leaning on the doorframe, preventing him from entering.
"Leo sent me out to get Mikey, if he's not back soon he's gonna miss Splinters evenin' training," Raph shrugged, coming up to Casey, looking over his shoulder at a very distressed Mikey.
"What happened with him?" Raph jutted his chin toward Mikey, Casey stumbled, feeling himself start to sweat.
"HE'S BANGING APRIL!"
Casey saw his life flash before his eyes. Looking up at the largest of his four friends, April's confidant and biggest brother, and his best friend.
He saw the recognition flash across his green eyes and the scowl form on his face.
"You're what?!"
"I-I can explain, cause there's more than that-" Casey took a step back wanting to put space between them, but Raph stepped with him, entering his bedroom.
"There's more?!" Both turtles yelled.
"Can you guys please stop yelling, you're going to wake up the neighbors," Casey took a deep breath, turning so he could face both brothers.
"I can explain, and the truth is.....the truth is that....April and I are dating," Casey started rubbing his sweaty hands together, unable to meet their eyes. "We've kinda been flirting for a while now and things really took a turn about three or four months ago."
"So April letting you use her washing machine was just a rouse?" Raph crossed his arms, throwing daggers with his eyes.
"She did that because she's a good person," Casey argued. Both turtles raised an eyebrow ridge which made Casey back down. "Alright, yeah kinda, we're both busy with work sometimes and it was a good reason that wouldn't be suspicious if you guys caught us in her apartment,"
"Wow," Raph murmered, hand covering his mouth as he sighed heavily.
Casey stared expectantly at the turtle before him, he knew he was going to snap.
"Well I guess that only leaves one option left," Raph didn't meet Casey's eyes but the rookie knew he was addressing him. He spoke far to calm for what was being discussed.
"Which is?" Casey knew the moment the words left his mouth that he was fuc-
"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS CASEY!" Raphs fist swung fast, but Casey had been around long enough to know when to duck. He just narrowly missed his friends fist and ducked into the living room.
"Wait, wait, Raph!" Casey tripped over his coffee table, landing on the hardwood floor. "Let's talk about this!"
Raph stepped heavily out of his bedroom, eyes in a permanent glare, he cracked his knuckles as he stepped toward him.
"Raph, just-" Casey couldn't bring his legs to stand back up, instead just scooting back on the floor.
As if the universe was truly trying to punish him, Casey's apartment doors lock started to rattle, and both men turned to see the one and only April opening the door.
"Hey, baby, I got food-" She unlocked the door with her personal key, a wide smile on her face, large brown bag of takeout in her arms. Seeing her boyfriend and brother in the living room made her smile drop instantly. "What's going on?"
"'What's going on?' What's going on?! You wanna know what's going on?!" Raphs voice rose as he redirected toward the reporter. "What's going on is I just found out that my best friend," He spat the word out through gritted teeth, glancing back at Casey before turning back to April. "Is.....is doing my sister!"
April raised an eyebrow, raising a single finger to Raph. "Watch your tone," Raph sighed heavily, lowering his shoulders. No matter how hard any of them tried, no one could 'out Alpha' April.
April sighed and gave a small chuckle in relief, clearly worried the boys were fighting about something much worse. She set the bag of takeout on the counter as Mikey slowly walked out of Casey's bedroom and stood beside Raph.
"So you guys found out...." She made eye contact with all three men, putting her hands on her hips, unsure of how to have this conversation.
"Yeah, I found your thong in his drawer," Mikey piped up.
April glanced down at Casey who was still sitting on the floor. "You took my underwear?"
"It isn't an important part of this argument," Casey blushed hard, angrily whispering and not meeting her eyes.
April rolled her eyes and turned back to her brothers. "Yes, Casey and I are dating, and I know this is unexpected, but it's my decision and, you know, I'm -surprisingly- really happy. I know it's going to take some getting used to, but please know that I wouldn't be with him if he was a genuine asshole,"
Both brothers lowered their heads, they knew she was right, April could handle herself and they would just have to learn to get over it.
Raph spared one last glance at Casey. "Break her heart I break your face," and with that he promptly turned and left for the window.
"That went better than I was expecting," April happily clapped her hands together, turning to the youngest brother with a smile. "Do you wanna get some food for the road?"
Mikey chuckled, maybe April and Casey dating wouldn't be so bad....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About three hours later after Splinters evening training and eating the food April gave him, Mikey was back on the surface heading for Casey's apartment.
In the mix of the argument, Mikey completely forgot about his underwear. But thankfully it was still relatively early so Casey should still be up.
Like before Mikey opened the window, and just headed right for the closed bedroom door.
"Hey, don't freak out, Case, you're not going to believe it but I forgot to grab my underwear earlier-" Mikey swung the door open and for the first time in his life wished he had patience and the ability to remember to knock.
April was laying on her back -thankfully under a blanket- but let out a loud scream at seeing Mikey, yanking the blanket to cover her chest. And while he couldn't see him, the large lump in the blanket in between April's knees was evidence enough that Mikey should just leave.
He slammed the door closed, covering his eyes. "I am so sorry!"
"What's wrong with you!?"
"Would it kill you to knock?!"
Those were the only things Mikey heard before rushing back out the window.
