May I also add (especially 2012) leo ongoing feud with his worst enemy. The toaster. Toaster Hate leo. all of them. Leo breaks a toaster just by touching it and needs to have other people toast bread for him.
I like how we all just decided to agree that every versions of Leo can't cook for shit and quoted "banned from the kitchen"
On my like 5th watch through of ROTTMNT here’s some things I noticed
Granny CJ… 👀
The teapot shows up a LOT more than I thought it did
The reoccurring theme of Donnie actually truthfully being the Funny One and delivering actually funny and entertaining one liners
Donnie supposedly being the “smart one” while also messing up the most and being wrong almost all the time (like when he staked everything in the Raph Alone episode and lost several times in a row)
Donnie’s supposed “bad boy” image
Leo pointing out things and being right surprisingly a lot and knowing what people are going to do before they do it?? Despite his cockiness he’s very observant and has good gut instincts and it always surprises people (Probably a good reason for why they made him leader later)
Raph saying he’s bad at making plans then proceeds to solve the issue anyway with his plan of not having a plan
Mikey being the one who’s the least predictable and literally a wild card but also surprisingly the one who drops the jokes when things get serious, also the theme of his brothers supporting and loving him instead of making fun of him (like in previous iterations)
I also like that Mikey, of all people, is the one that lays down the hard truths while maintaining being the sweet and empathetic one
Mikey and Donnie hanging out all the time like they did in the 1990s live action movie
Mikey not being “clueless” (like they made him in past iterations) and working with Donnie to make plans that actually work because they’re both putting their heads together
Donnie going out of his way to protect people and putting himself in danger on purpose despite his vulnerabilities as a soft shelled turtle
Raph and Leo bickering but ultimately getting along really well and being understanding of each other like the 1990s live action movie
Donnie and Leo not getting along and picking on each other all the time
Splinter being more than a background character and being strong, funny, and a father instead of just a “teacher”
The reoccurring theme of Splinter acknowledging April as one of his kids
Despite being the “Thoughtless Jock” stereotype, Raph is very over protective and cares about his siblings well being and also seems to be actually the most level headed one out of all of them
Donnie having very extremely complex emotions that feel realistic compared to everyone else in the show
April always being the stronger, smarter older sister
Foot Recruit (CJ) listening to advice and getting help from both Draxum and Splinter, also making her a part of their family
The turtles longing desperately and deeply for the approval and validation of others so much they’ll do pretty much anything for it (it’s splinters fault mostly but he develops as a character and becomes a more loving and supportive father as the show goes on)
Splinter having Childhood Trauma and no parents from a young age which is why he’s been a not so great dad and has a lot of deep seeded issues he has to face through the series
Everyone acknowledging and respecting peoples comfort zones and boundaries and apologizing when they accidentally fuck up
All of the characters seeming like cliches but being very complicated and interesting despite it being a cartoon. They wrote all the characters to be a bit silly, sure, but when you watch and observe everyone they always subvert your expectations for how they’re going to be and I fucking LOVE IT
I haven’t finished rewatching the 2nd season or movie yet but when I do I’ll probably make another follow up post
Hc that Donnie only started drawing eyebrows on after they met April so that he could portray emotions to her easier
IM BACK WITH ANOTHER SLEEP HEADCANON! This time it’s for Donnie!!
I hope you enjoy!

Donnie Sleep HCs

Donatello’s bed is just big enough to fit him comfortably without him dangling over the sides
He has a pretty sizable blanket, and it’s actually a weighted blanket! Something that will put him to sleep and keep him asleep. Like 15lbs-25lbs
About four regular sized, plush pillows
He used to have a body pillow too
The bed itself is pushed up and out of the way, against the farthest wall of his room. His desk is against the opposite wall
Donnie absolutely sees the importance of having his room as a place to sleep and be away from work
But try as he might, his room still becomes littered with various sketches, blueprints, or notes
He cleans up as much as he can, but it just keeps happening so he gave up 😅
Donatello doesn’t spend too much time in his room though, constantly at work and tinkering away in his lab. He’s a workaholic, you know this.
To get Donnie to bed is a challenge in itself, but not impossible.
Luckily, he loves spending time with you, so you only need to ask him once.
Or twice.
Maybe three times, but he’s almost done! Promise! Just need to make sure that one part was secure and wasn’t going to grow legs and walk away by morning
Donnie’s favorite position is one where he’s facing you: him laying on his side, shell supported by a pillow or two
He’ll leave little kisses on what he can reach of you, but they’re so feather light, you barely even know they’re there. He’s too afraid of waking you up
He likes to either have his forehead pressed to yours or have your head tucked under his chin, he craves closeness
He tends to bring your leg up and hook it over his own. He’ll then scooch himself further into your space until you two are properly locked together and honestly? At that point? He couldn’t care less about anything else in the world. He’s not moving from you.
Through the night though, your legs become so tangled with his, you don’t know where he ends and you begin, like you were playing twister in your sleep or something
Donnie loves it when you use his arm as a pillow!
He knows it’s gonna go numb, but he doesn’t mind. He would take pins and needles over anything if it meant you got good sleep
His other arm is usually wrapped around you to hold you close, he likes to rub your back too! It’s a sure fire way to knock you out
It makes his heart go all fluttery whenever he thinks about that because he loves that he just knows you so well
He adores laying in bed with you and doesn’t fall asleep until well after you doze off just so he can look at you
It never really crossed his mind that it may be a bit weird to watch you sleep. You’re cute, and it calms him down. It’s his favorite past time.
Is he obsessed? No.
Maybe.
A little.
But is it obsession if you’re both in love? He’s caught you staring at him too! He knows you do the same!
Yeah, so he’s counted all your eyelashes, all your beauty marks, and logged every sigh you make into his long term.
And yeah, he keeps track of your REM cycle so he knows exactly how long it takes for you to slip off into deep sleep, and - Whatever!!! Just let him have this! Who are you?? The Police???
Donnie is a normal sleeper most nights and doesn’t move too much, may twitch a bit, but other than that, nothing.
Doesn’t make a peep when he’s knocked out, but breathes very deeply
Unless he gets an idea!! He used to just jolt out of bed to his desk, but he’s taken a tumble too many times (he kept forgetting the mess of limbs you two create) and has since learned how to stealthily slip away and back into you once he’s done
He gets a few nightmares, and he may unintentionally wake you if he gets too caught up in them.
But when you wake him up from one of those terrible dreams and cuddle with him? Ohhh he falls. He falls so hard for you. Especially when you rub your thumb across his cheek and talk him through his breathing
Your soothing words are like a balm to his overworked brain and he’s forever grateful for you
He’s pretty sure he’s got hearteyes
You’ve gotten a few chirps out of him like that, and he’s so embarrassed about them pLEASE DONT TEASE HIM 😭
He won’t get mad, but he’ll get so flustered and then you’ll have a child lock on your phone and he’ll have no idea what you’re talking about
Donnie’s usually awake before you, and will spend a few minutes basking in your warmth before he goes to grab you something quick to drink for when you wake up.
And when he comes back to see you curled up around his pillow? The thought that even in sleep you search for him and need him close to you?
It makes his knees buckle
And it takes everything in him to not just slip right back under those covers and replace that pillow you’ve grabbed onto
Right!! There’s numero dos!! Until next time!

And finally, Mikey!!!

Mikey Sleep HCs

Michelangelo used to have a twin bed, actually! It really didn’t bother him! He would just face plant into the mattress and knock out
fun fact: that was the same bed he’d had since he was little! Yes, the bunk.
But it wasn’t until you came along that he thought maaaaaybe he should get a bigger bed😭
He’s rolled off the side one too many times when you slept in the same bed together 🥲
Now he has a queen sized bed! Very plush, you sink right in
He has a comfortable and large blanket, it’s tattered at the edges but, “It’s well loved! It adds character ;)”
Mikey has a LOT of pillows on his bed. And one (1) body pillow he did not nab from Donnie’s room
Honestly, when you first walked in, you didn’t even know he had a bed
But it’s there, trust
He’ll knock some off and boom! A bed!
Also has clothes on his bed, clothes he’s been meaning to fold and put away, but he just… never got around to it
He. Snores. LOUD.
like, hONK shooo HOONNK mimimimi 😪
If it weren’t for those thick cement walls, you’d be able to hear him clear across the lair!
But it mellows out the deeper he goes into sleep
Now, about the sleeping positions
He has no favorite!
if you’re in bed with him, he’s happy 🥹
Sometimes Michelangelo will have you wrapped up in his arms, other times he’ll be laying on his back (propped with a few pillows) and have you up against his side
It depends on how he’s feeling that night
But you always wake up with at least one of his limbs draped over you
If it’s been a long day, he’ll lay his head on your chest and listen to your heart beat
It gives him a chance to rest his eyes and his very busy brain for a bit, allowing himself to just focus on you and clear out everything else
Your fingers would draw lazy circles on the back of his head, and across his neck, over his carapace, down his shoulders and lightly scratch his jaw
Maybe even kiss his forehead too?
He’s Swooning, oh my god
He loves it
Mikey will be chirping and churring so much he’s practically vibrating
He’d also be drawing pictures with his hands over your skin, tracing your shape and committing it to his memory
He’d see the goosebumps that follow his fingers and he would go back a trace over them, slower
Mikey loves loves LOVES your voice, so he’ll ask you to talk to him while he’s cuddled up with you
Pillow talk is a big thing for him, from various topics to deep conversations to cracked out stories that have you both gasping and dying with laughter
And honestly the raw emotions that come out in the dead of night? When it’s just you and him bundled up together sharing every random thought that comes to mind until one of you drifts to sleep?
That’s what he lives for
It’s intimate in a way that nothing else could ever replicate
In the mornings, he will lay onto top of you
Like, he will CRUSH you. Lovingly. 😌
He wants to be close to you!! And soak up all your sunshine!!!
and he’s not above peppering every inch of you with as many kisses as he can
You have to literally shove him off of you to get him to stop😭
Even then, Mikey will grab your arm (or whatever you used you get him away) and start kissing that
And once you’re properly awake, he’ll have you two head over to the kitchen to have some breakfast together
Voila!! That’s all four! Sorry these took a bit! I have like, a full time job and I’m in school, and honestly only get these ideas when I’m right about to fall asleep 😭
Anyways! Hope you enjoyed! Til next time!





I couldn't help myself, and I did this... I have no regrets.
Hey everyone, may I present you a donnie doing his big ass eyebrows. I didnt know which color I prefer so I give you both :D



So yeah, I think you can guess I have a favorite. No? Is it too obvious? Anyway I love Leo, he's my gothic boy, but I also love donnie, the mad scientist.
I also give him an eye liner because why not he looks good with it.
TMNT Headcanon #3: Bayverse Mikey is the only Mikey that is very very bad at cooking, and here’s why:
If anyone has seen Bayverse, you would know Mikey is the walking embodiment of ADHD in the best way possible. I hc that he is very bad at cooking because his attention span simply won’t allow it
Either he forgets it’s in the oven/cooking until I a shrivelled black piece of charcoal, gets impatient and so he pulls it out to early and basically eats it raw, changes his mind multiple times through the cooking process and tries to change it (when no, you really shouldn’t do that, you can’t unbake a cake dammit -), gets far too ambitious and stuck in his own imagination that he creates something horrific or so confusing that it’s inedible, or is like “yeah I don’t have any sugar but salt looks the same so I will use that instead” if he runs out of ingredients. His cooking is dangerous.
Raph, on the other hand, is the main cook. He got sick of eating canned stuff one day and decided to make something. He’s actually very good at it, but only if he’s in the mood. This results in his brothers trying to coax him into making some of their favourite foods, but Raph rarely does because he simply can’t be bothered or is too busy busting heads. Sometimes he will wake up in the morning with all his brothers around his bed like “Donnie ate all the pop tarts but by complete chance we have all the ingredients for pancakes in the kitchen so seeing as we have no breakfast and you want to eat anyway do you think you can make pancakes hey are you listening hey hey hey pancakes please we’re hungry hey”

Spiderman x hello kitty pyjamas with the boys
YESS
leo
Is so confused as to why you got him spider man pyjama pants even more confused as to how you got them in his size
Wears them anyway because its a gift from you and he cherishes the fact you thought of him
When he walks out into the lair from the bathroom and sees you on the couch wearing hello kitty pants he immediately realises
So you wanted to match? Welp now your stuck with a tall ass turtle by your side the entire time you wear the pants.
Getting a drink? Leos there. Playing games with mikey? Leo is there. Having tea with his father? Hes there and pouring you the tea.
Not to mention homeslice here would definitely latch onto you when you go to bed. What? Hes smothering you? Nah he just like how the pants look together. Half of his body mass is on top of you you cannot escape
Raph
Youre gonna have to beg him to wear them
Since I personally hc that raph only wears boxers to bed he’d probably think that your uncomfortable with him in the boxers and would distance himself for a bit
Compromise tho, spider man boxers, it’s essentially the same thing AND you can still wear your pants
Hes gonna agree now, what? His s/o bought them, and their red. Its perfect
When he sees you wearing hello kitty pants it takes him awhile to notice that its a matching thing, will instantly plop you in his lap tho
Youre not getting up for anything, he will carry you
You also get like min 10 mins out before he drags you to his room and cuddles tf out of you, you look cute asf and you decided to match him.
You will have hickeys in the morning from raph, undeniable he will kiss tf out of you and maybe more.
Donnie
Doesnt sleep therefore, will not wear them sorry gang 😔
Mikey
LOVES THEM, will kiss you on the spot
Straight up suggests you should get hello kitty pants the moment he sees spiderman, oh wait you already have those?
Anyway he is mentally preparing a wedding lmfao
Will non stop brag about it like omfg no one is safe
Youre being carried, thats that
Will make out with you when you go to bed, no matter how tired, a makeout is a must for this man
OKAY İM BRAİNİNG! how about a tmnt turtles x scientist reader? ignore if you dont want to write this

(Has 0 fucking idea what potassium is or why you like saying your gonna take a bath with it as the bath bomb)
Uses you as a tool lowkey to get donnie out of the lab, cause hey, he gets you to bed, so getting donnie to bed isnt that hard
One time stumbled upon a book, thought it was for equations or theories, was surprised to find out it was your diary (WHY IN GODS NAME DID YOU DETAIL IT SO WELL??)
Dear god he has so many tricks from living with donnie to get you to sleep
Oh you wanna study him? Ok- why does he need to take his pants off? oh . . . OH
Is ok with role plays but doesnt really like being put under a microscope
Raphael
Im sorry boo but no studying this man, bro is to insecure for that
Oh you need a hand to move equipment? Your man right here got this.
Will have a seizure if you get hurt in the lab, like oh you got burned? Haha YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS MANS SIGHTS
Would 💯 fuck you in a lab if you were up to it
Like im talking aggressively rawdogging it
Oh you made him some weights out of some really dense materials? Aww than- JESUS FUCK WHY IS IT SO DAMN HEAVY 😭
Full on tackles you to bed, just pins you to it and lies on top of you to get you to sleep💖
Donatello
Marry him will you?
He loves you so much he might actually get a good sleep schedule
💯 gets freaky with you in the lab, and has definitely made sex toys for you (and himself)
Would 💯 support you in any experiments you do and also makes sure your safe while doing it
Oh you want a nobel prize? Let him help you
Would 💯 find a way for yall to have kids if you wanted them
Honestly 12/10 bf for you nerds
Mikey
