Tmnt Shredder - Tumblr Posts

IT'S TRUE AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE TRYING TO DENY IT!!!

THEY'RE MARRIED BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!!!!!

Somebody I Used To Know

Summary: Memory gone, you live your new life, until you spot someone on the television

The Shredder x GN! Reader

Lonely; without companions; solitary. The definition fit you well. Throughout your life you made friends, lost them, so forth and so on. You weren’t unfriendly or anything, but rather empty. Your heart, soul, yearned for something, but you couldn’t scratch even the surface.

You made due, pushing through the school days and work. Finding if you were always busy, you could push your ghosts away. Until one day, you had a day off, and decided to relax for a bit. A little tv wouldn’t hurt, would it?

Screen flashing, you switched channel after channel. Landing on a kids show, a certain character caught your eye. His voice was like static, dawning a metal suit with a purple cape. Setting the remote down, you let yourself drown episode after episode.

You never crushed on anyone, so why is your chest beating so hard now? Was it his charisma? Possibly his physique? You couldn’t really pinpoint it. All you knew, you didn’t feel as empty, like something was filling the void.

As weeks went by, you had a new routine, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles taking over your free time. You couldn’t help it, Shredder captivated you. It was strange, turning off the television made your heart pause, but when you saw his face, heard his voice, it pressed play.

You felt so…alive. People didn’t matter anymore, you were happy, in some ways, but still happy. Your chest didn’t hurt as much, pangs here and there. Today was no different, turning on the television just in time for a new episode. Singing along with the theme song, you couldn’t help but smile, eyes never leaving the villains view.

‘God he’s cute.’ Thinking to yourself, leaning back into your chair, palm supporting your head. Your cheeks formed a pink hue, toothy smile written onto your face, watching a new scheme play out on screen.

“Where did you take them!?” Shredder screamed, nearly pleading to the turtles. It made been years since his lover disappeared. Shredder knew the turtles were harmless, but they must’ve taken them. Right?

“We don’t know where they are!” Raphael replied, sais twirling in his hands. “We cared for them too Shred-Head!”

The Shredder wanted to scream, tear Raphael’s throat out, but all he managed was a snarl, eyebrows nearly touching. “Lies! Where is Y/n?!” Pointing his index finger, commanding his henchmen to attack.

“Wait, what?” Sitting up in your chair, you couldn’t believe what you heard. He said your name. Your..name? It must’ve been a coincidence. There’s millions of people with the same name. You couldn’t shake the feeling away, the one you had grown accustomed to, was now growing, molding into something different, forming into a headache.

Groaning, you rubbed your temples, eyes glued to the screen. As scenes went by, the fight came and went, the episode ending with Oroku Saki holding a picture. Was that you? “Oh my god.” Your voice, barely above a whisper, pain overtaking your body, forcing you to your knees, hands pressing against your head.

Then, the pain went away, replacing itself with pictures, videos….memories. You realized they were memories. Shredder holding you close at night, wrapping his arms around you. Setting you a plate at dinner. Your first kiss. All of it, flashing before your eyes.

You saw it; the day you disappeared. It was any other day, working on the techno-drone, drilling in some metal. Your head hurt, like it had moments ago, then, you were here. A small child with a new mother and father.

As quickly as the memories came, they left, leaving you a mess on the ground. You had lived a lie, believing you were just a no one, but you were someone, to him, to everyone there.

And there was nothing you could do. You were stuck, dimensions away from your lover, your family. “Why?” Your words forming into sobs. Hands covering your face as you mourned. “I wanna go home.” Begging did nothing, pleading did nothing. You were a ghost in a shell, lost in time.

For years you wished the void in your heart was filled, now, you regretted it. The only way you could find peace in your life was through a plastic screen. There, you could see a glimpse of your old life, watching Shredder as the days went by. You weren’t there anymore, but maybe, he could feel you here, through the screen.

2003 Shredder Rant

Am I the only one who was annoyed the writers kept “tricking” the audience into thinking Shredder was dead?

It was so annoying. I was fine with it the first time since one fake death usually happens in shows. But doing this over 4 times is excessive and bland. This writing choice really made it hard for me to keep going with TMNT 2003. Killing off the Shredder wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Bringing new villains would have been fun and unique. A version of Shredder was the villain for every season except S6. There was Utrom Shredder, Karai Shredder, Demon Shredder, and Cyber Shredder.

This over reliance was the show’s crutch.

I still enjoyed watching the show tho.

From Most to Least Favorite, How Would You Rank Each TMNT 2003 Seasons?

1. Season 4

Really enjoyed Leo’s arc. I love focusing on the effects the traumatic situation had on a character’s mental health. This season improved Leo greatly.

My only gripe is I wished Bishop was a major villain.

9/10

2. Season 3

I liked a lot of the episodes and it had my favorite final stories like Ultimate Draco and Exodus.

Same As It Never Was was probably my favorite episode, though I wished there was more payoff with it afterwards.

8/10

3. Season 2

S2 has my second favorite finale with the Battle Nexus, and it was an improvement of S1.

It was the season that really got me into the show.

Usagi was a great addition. He’s one of my favorite characters.

7/10

4. Season 1

I didn’t get into this season until the Shredder was a major part of it. I mostly found the introductory episodes meh but it was probably because I wasn’t used to the new iteration yet.

It’s higher since the next seasons are not as great.

6.5/10

5. Season 5

I liked the concept but the execution was not as great.

The plot felt rushed and the villain was meh because it was another Shredder. I would’ve enjoyed the story more if it was a new villain.

The other 4 acolytes didn’t serve a purpose other than the writers trying to digress how special the turtles are, which didn’t work since the turtles became the dragons like their mystical instructors.

6/10

6. Season 6

The new setting and concept barely keeps this season from last place.

It was a new fresh take, but the more childish tone ruined it for me. Total tone shift distract me most of the time.

The Dark Turtles, Cody, and Sterling were cool editions tho.

5.5/10

7. Season 7

The last season was… disappointing.

I would’ve preferred this season being about the Turtles learning how to relax after all that happened to them. Like, a moment when everything is peaceful and they are not needed to protect the city. Exploring how to move on from their sense of purpose would’ve been fun to see. It would’ve coincided well with April x Casey’s wedding since they are also move towards a different path.

4.5/10

Comment your thoughts

made a tmnt iteration for college

with lil ref sheets and everything, got a 9/10 so that was cool

@tmntober-2023 day 4: Bones

Finally I drew the Shredder… holy shit I’ve been wanting to draw my rendition of him for this AU for so long.

This shredder is a demon. Heavily based on the Tengu Shredder from TMNT 2003. He has two demon children: twins named Karai and Jimmy (who later changed his last name to Casket to sound scarier). His backstory is also very similar to the ‘03 Tengu Shredder, except he is the original Tengu.

Ch’Rel still exists in this AU too and is the leader of the Kraang, a group of Utrom who are rebelling due to their own selfish wants to rule or destroy everything. He dons the Shredder name for a brief moment before being killed once the real Shredder finds out.

There’s a lot to this AU that I haven’t shared because I want to keep things secret so people can be surprised by certain things. This was fun!

Shredder Imagine ⚡️⚡️

Sleeping in bed together 🌟🌟

• Shredder showers before bed every night, allowing you to join him if you would like to

• He places his armour on an armour stand in the corner of the room.

• On hot nights, he just wears shorts to bed. On cold nights, he’ll wear full pajamas.

• The bedroom light would be off a while before either of you actually got into bed. He’s used to walking around in the dark and you’re used to the layout of the room, so neither of you have an issue accessing anything in the darkness.

• You’ll lay in bed together, your head on his chest and your nails grazing over his collarbone soothingly. His hand will brush up and down your back gently.

• You’ll kiss each other goodnight and wait for slumber to take hold.

• When he’s feeling very cuddly, he’ll roll onto his side and fully hug you, or spoon you depending on how cuddly you’re feeling.

• If he’s in a deep sleep, his large build may end up crushing you for a bit but hey, gotta love muscle man titties, right?

• If you have a pet, he’ll only let it sleep on your side or at the foot of the bed. You’re the only thing that’s allowed to take up his sleeping space, nobody else!

• Some nights he’ll chatter in his sleep, usually due to a nightmare, but whenever you mention it to him, he’ll completely dismiss the whole idea of it.

• He snores a little loudly but you’ve gotten used to it over time. At this point you feel sad when you don’t hear his snoring at night.

• If you’ve been crying or had anxiety/panic attack before bed, or you wake up and start crying/panicking, he’ll rest on one elbow and rub his finger tips along your thighs and arms soothingly. He’ll give you little kisses of reassurance every now and again.

• If he’s gone to bed upset or angry, he likes it when you do the same for him, maybe just hold back on the kisses lol (he might bite).

• Whatever noises you make in your sleep don’t bother him at all, just hope you don’t accidentally kick him lmao.

• If you have tics before going to sleep, he’ll ask what’s on your mind (worried you might be feeling anxious or too active to sleep). He’s not one for late night conversations but if it helps tire you out, he’ll do it

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t think I’ve ever actually done an imagine before? At least not of an already existing character. It certainly helps when you’re fixated on that character at the moment lmao

Hope you liked it🤙🤙

Shredder Imagine 👊👊

Doing His Makeup/Skin Care

Shredder has a lot of free time when he’s not meditating, tending to the Foot, at meetings, or training Karai. Of course he has many other responsibilities, as all adults and super villains do, but he does have plenty of time to relax. After meeting you, his free time was filled with a few other activities..

One of which being beauty and skin care-?!

• it usually takes a lot of convincing to get him in the mood to participate in these activities. While he does enjoy spending time with you (which he’s already very gruff about showing affection), he feels silly playing with makeup and skin care and oils and creams and such..

• if you ever painted his nails, it could only be shades of grey, or just straight black. He would probably wipe or scratch it off throughout the day, especially if an employee asks about it. But usually employees don’t question Shredder about his personal life, and for good reason too…

• Even if you yourself aren’t a skin care specialist, you would still do a butt ton of research for different products and such, just so you could spend more precious time with Oroku

• Sometimes you two would stay up late and just sit in the bathroom, face masks drying, hair pinned back, chatting. You were quite literally the only one that ever got to see this side of Shredder, not even Karai was this close with him.

• Speaking of Karai, ever since you came into their lives, she was able to sort of bond with Shredder a bit more. She had a much better bond with you though <3

• If Shredder ever got tipsy, or dare I say.. drunk, enough, he might let you do his makeup. He’s loosened up a little and doesn’t have to worry about being seen. He also appreciates that you don’t care about his facial scars.

• he would never let you go full out crazy, like anything goth or drag. But some lip stick and mascara and eyeshadow won’t kill him, as long as he trusts you and the both of you are enjoying yourselves.

• if the makeup ever accidentally got left on over night, Shredder would absolutely wake up earlier than you to wash it all off before you could see it. Does he set extra alarm clocks or something when you’re not watching??

• By the way, whenever you and Shredder get to have alone time like this, all of the Foot Clan is notified not to disturb Oroku ever, unless the Turtles or Splinter are literally at his front door step. Absolutely nobody is allowed to catch a glimpse of him like this except for you.

• He’s also set clear boundaries with you to keep these personal stories between you, him, and sometimes Karai. This is more about family time - The Foot and your friends don’t need to know about the Shredder’s personal life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope this didn’t cringe anyone out too much, and hopefully I didn’t stray too far away from his actual character. ✌️

Feedback is appreciated /nf

Sleep well, dudes 💪😴

Shredder Imagine💋💋

Cold Shredder 🥶🥶

• He wears slightly more padding under his armour during winter.

• If you two decide to shower together, he might waste a bit of time and water to give you long, warm cuddles and kisses. Just to warm you both up 😉

• He trains harder and longer just to keep himself warm and active, so he gains quite a bit of muscle during Winter.

• At night, in bed, spooning is ideal.

• He orders only the warmest of blankets for your guys’ bed.

• If he ever gets sick, he refuses to ask for help. Won’t even tell you about it, will just tough it out in his own, no matter how draining and exhausting that may be.

• He loves drinking hot tea, both to help with sickness and just to warm himself up.

• You once bought him an Oodie because you thought it would be funny to see him wear it, but he never actually did lol (you wear it of course though!)

• He meditates outside, in the midday sun, instead of inside. He also stretches and such during this time.

• He has done quite a bit of temperature training throughout his life, so he’s not totally helpless when it’s cold, but he’s not invincible lol

• He’s encouraged you to take up some temperature training as well, and you’ve actually gotten somewhere with it, but it’s just up to you to decide if you actually want to continue or not. He’s not fussed over your answer. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Idk just another quick idea on my head, sorry if this is stupid or like too short or smth 💀💀

Shredder Imagine❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Shredder with Pregnant S/O💞💞

• He’ll check in on you a lot more regularly, like just throughout the day and such.

• He’ll constantly make jokes that Karai will have to raise the baby instead (you won’t let that happen of course).

• Shredder will do all house chores and make sure you’re very well rested, especially the further you get into pregnancy. Doesn’t matter how big or small the bump is, you’re not lifting a finger!

• He’ll get all of your food cravings as long as they aren’t too crazy. Pickles and ice cream is all good 👍 just don’t start asking for dragon scales in mayo…

• He’ll do that thing where he lifts your belly a little to relieve back pain as often as you want him to.

• He won’t necessarily be any more affectionate than he usually is, but you’ll get a very loving vibe when you’re around him (if that makes sense).

• He might be a bit more quiet than usual, and you’re not necessarily sure what’s on his mind. Baby names? Will he be a better father? Possible life styles? Will the baby be in any danger? Would the turtles go so low as to endanger the baby?

• He would train Karai slightly more just to make sure the baby is protected at every corner.

• May even teach you some protective skills in case the situation ever arises.

• Will always order some guards to be near in case you get into some trouble, even if it’s just members of the Foot standing down the hallway.

• You may not need those pregnancy pillows, Oroku is fully willing to be in any position to make sleep more comfortable for you. His somehow sleeps very lightly whilst sleeping like a bear simultaneously, so you won’t get any complaints outta him :p

~~~~

Idk if you want me to add more to this one, lemme know-

I’ve never been pregnant before lol so I’m just going off what I hear and see often 😭😭

Some Silly Goofy Shredder Headcanons

(Very out of character!!)

• Purrs like a cat if you massage him or like play with his hair and such

• Picks you up and squeezes you when giving a hug

• If he tries to make a joke but nobody laughs, he gets all dark and serious and makes everyone laugh…

• Is easily hypnotisable. Swirling image or a swinging pendulum? Boom.

• Would absolutely love a pet cat

• Would probably really want a big scary dog but would end up settling for the most ferocious chihuahuas in existence

• Very sensitive, DO NOT hurt his feelings gang

• If something doesn’t go his way, he sits down and sucks his thumb while rocking back and forth. You can decide for yourself if this is childish or mad-man behaviour…

• You have to force him to eat his veggies

• Whenever he works out, it’s like none of the equipment weighs anything. He is a strong dude

• Only likes cuddling if your head is on his chest

• He actually does not care what you look like, as long as you’re a genuine person (I like to headcanon this for a more in-character Shredder as well because I imagine him to be a man that marries for life, so as long as you have a good connection then he don’t gaf what you look like)

• He is actually terrible at saving money.

• He 100% still takes bubble baths, you just never catch him in the act. Pink soap, bath toys, baby lullaby music in the background, the whole lot of it

~~~~~~~~~

I’ll probably continue to come back to this one every now and again, or I might not lol

Idk I just love giving silly hesdcanons to very serious characters 😋😋

Cooking with Shredder

• He probably has a personal chef to do a lot of the cooking tbh, but after meeting you, he started cooking a lot more often. If you enjoy cooking, he loves eating your meals or spending time with you in the kitchen.

• If you enjoy baking, it’s definitely a sweet moment making cakes or cupcakes or cookies.

• He likely eats very healthily, so he probably wouldn’t eat very many of your sweets even if you did make them yourself. But he would still love to taste test for you, especially if he knows it makes you happy.

• It does bring a smile to his face if he ever finds you and Karai in the kitchen. He and Karai might not have a typical father-daughter dynamic, but it’s still a lovely sentiment.

• If you have any dietary requirements or preferences, he’ll absolutely make note of that. I’m gonna be honest, he might be the type of person to complain about vegans or vegetarians, but he would def shut up about it more around you if that is your preference. He already lost so much love in his life, I doubt he wants to lose his significant other too 💀💀

• He enjoys cooking Japanese meals for you to try, especially if you’ve never had them before and you get to try his cooking first. But he does also enjoy cooking other traditional foods from other cultures. He will be on his knees if you ever cook food from your own culture, like he will fall in love with you all over again.

• He hates fast food and take away. Like with a burning passion. He’d probably tell you not to order any for Karai or any of his employees, but if you really wanted to, that wouldn’t stop you lmao. Just don’t let Shreds find out 😋

~~~~~~~~

Told you more Shredhead content was on the way 😋😋

Masterlist

Reader Forces Shredder to Play Games

This one was requested by @keiko89yo !! Hope you like it ☺️

• Of course Shredder has a phone, but he really only uses it for any kind of business emails or things like that. He really doesn’t see the need for it when he can just send one of his employees to deliver a message, and he can just buy technology (like ear phones and wires and such) to listen in on conversations. But after meeting you, he bought an actual phone. (You can also imagine him using an iPad or computer as well if you want to lol)

• (Silly goofy Shredder would 100% be an iPad kid…)

• Not long into the relationship, you decided to add some modern fun into date nights… via games of course 🤪🤪

• He’s literally never heard of ANY of these games before. He had no reason to.

• Omg him playing Among Us gets scary… the threats and curses that fly from this man’s mouth is INSANE 😭 and you can definitely tell whenever he’s imposter because he goes dead silent as he’s thinking of strategies. I bet he also chuckled maniacally when things go his way. He’ll definitely force you to team up if you’re imposter, cause he actually rages if he loses.

• He somewhat enjoys Genshin and Honkai, but the constant need for grinding just to get good pulls frustrates him. The combat he definitely likes, and he enjoys seeing the connections between the in game world and our real world. Tbh he’d probably just ask you to do all the grinding and hard work for him while he does all the good stuff lol.

• Oof him playing games like Fortnite and Overwatch is rough… 😭 the fact that it’s real people who have played much much MUCH longer than him is aggravating, he much prefers the programmed characters. Don’t ever let him get a mic… there will be police at the front door step because this man will not hesitate to threaten a 12 year olds life and family.

• I think overall, dating you would make him less serious a brooding. Not by much of course but you will see a lot more modern behaviours in him just because you introduce him to more modern things.

• He would find Roblox to be really stupid and probably annoying. He doesn’t really understand how you could find so much enjoyment out of it. I think he would refuse to play the horror games just because there’s that inkling of worry in his stomach that it may genuinely scare him and he doesn’t want to look foolish in front of you lol. He wants to see more tycoons that involve taking over the world and expanding your evil empire, so Roblox, take notes 📝📝

• I think his favourite game would be Mortal Kombat because he could relate to some of the martial arts side of things, and who doesn’t love seeing influences of their own cultures in media they enjoy? I think he would also get a kick out of the voices overs lmao

• I think he would feel the same way about the Cookie Run games as he does about Genshin and Honkai. Not a big fan of the grinding, but does like to rank up, win good prizes, and collect the powerful characters. Although I think he feels a bit silly playing a game full of childish cookie characters full rainbows and sparkles lol.

• I don’t know if he would really be a big fan of going through the actual lore of games, I think it would have to be a much darker and gruesome game for him to sit through all of the dialogue and side quests and such.

• I’m sure he’d be a fan of the classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Sonic, etc. Just because he likes to feel better by enjoying older games than the newer games for the younger generations cause we all know how the new generations suck butt ☺️ /sar

Sorry this one was so long, I hope it wasn’t TOO long😅😅

Masterlist

Yoga with Shredder

• He loves stretching in the morning, helps him wake up. Not every day is chaotic for him lol, he does like the quiet at times.

• He actually doesn’t mind couples yoga, he thinks some of the poses are kinda funny.

• He’s generally pretty serious when doing yoga around you, but he does like to laugh and giggle at times. He’s just not a big, guttural laugher usually lol

• He prefers to meditate alone though, so leave him be for that part. Unless Karai decides to join him (rare), then she’s the exception.

• If you ever fall asleep during your little yoga session together, he’d just lay down with you and chill out, finding it kinda cute.

• You like watching his muscles flex when he stretches, almost mesmerising lmao

• He’s fine with silent sessions, but if you need white noise or anything like that, he doesn’t really care.

• Don’t feel too embarrassed if you accidentally fluff iykwim, he never makes a big deal out of it and just ignores it. (Idk I feel like I should add that in here in case anyone has had bad experiences with yoga like this 😭😭 trust in Shredder’s nonchalantness)

• Normally he does yoga in the morning to help wake himself up for the day, but if you wanna do the yoga then go back to bed, he doesn’t mind lmao

Shredder With Baby

Requested by @keiko89yo !

• Omg he’s going to be so gentle and protective after the birth. Like nobody is allowed near you without your permission, otherwise they will be shredded.

• He’s already planning all of the training they will be doing throughout the course of their life.

• You obviously check the training plans, just to make sure this kid won’t be Tarzaning over pits of lava anytime soon.

• “Karai, I’m going to make myself very clear. Under no circumstances will this child be hurt. Ever. Do you understand me?” “Yes, Father…” “Good.”

• Don’t even think about moving to do anything ever, he’s got this all covered.

• There will be at least two or three Foot members in the room with you at all times, even if Shredder’s there. You argue about them being in the bedroom with you, so you compromise with them sitting just outside the door and the windows and the roof.

• Weaponised incompetence?? Who’s she?? We don’t know her around here. This man will literally become your butler.

• He’ll give you as many massages as you want, make you as comfortable as you want. You wanna sleep all day? Be his guest!

• Even with all this kindness and compassion, he still keeps a hard facade on, mainly around any members of The Foot or his other employees. Can’t get too lovey dovey, can we?

• He never cared what sex the baby would be, he knew he would still train them the same anyways.

• If the baby was already diagnosed with any conditions or illnesses, he will do everything in his power to make sure this baby was okay.

• Only the best midwives and doctors for Oroku’s partner.

• He’s so gentle with the baby, it’s adorable!

• He doesn’t exactly spend time with the baby most dads would, but also, Shredder isn’t exactly like most men in general-

• Oroku’s favourite part about this baby (besides the fact that they’re his biological offspring obviously) is their eyes. You’ll always find him stroking the baby’s head as he’s staring into the baby’s gorgeous eyes.

• He’ll wear a shirt around the house less so Baby can have more skin-to-skin contact during the day.

• He’s not super picky with baby names, but he would definitely love a badass name. He would also love a beautiful cultural name, whether it be Japanese or from your own cultural background.

Reading with Shredder

• He isn’t the biggest fan of reading to be honest

• He doesn’t necessarily find it boring, he’s smart enough to know it isn’t boring. It’s just not really his thing. He would rather spend time doing more productive things for the business and alliances.

• But if you’re ready a good action or thriller book, he wouldn’t mind reading the more interesting pages.

• He does love hearing you yap about your favourite books.

• He doesn’t necessarily understand why authors would get caught up in controversy. He’s thought process is more like ‘if you don’t like what’s written, don’t read it’

• In saying that, he doesn’t mind having innocent little debates with you on the morals of some authors and whether they deserve the hate and such. Even if you didn’t want a debate and just wanted to rant about an author you hated, he doesn’t care.

• He’ll read the news of course, just to stay up to date on his enemies and any possible opportunities.

• After having a baby, he would love to read children’s books to the bub of course! Probably not for very long, but if it benefits the child’s mind and learning, why wouldn’t he want to participate in that?!

• Speaking of the baby, he would probably teach the child to read pretty early and try to move to older books as soon as possible. He wants this baby to be smart! You tell him to relax and just let the baby learn at their own pace.

• He doesn’t care much for horror books. If it’s something horror related, which he doesn’t care much for anyways, he would rather watch it than have to think about how scary it is. Him being a literal super villain, not much scares him anyways.

• If you or Karai asked for a book, he’d still get it for you guys. I don’t think he would ask too many questions unless the title sounded awfully suspicious…

• He loves watching your peaceful face as you read before bed or read during your free time. If you’re sitting outside, he’s mesmerised at how the sun shines on your face and lights up your focused eyes.

• He’ll invite you to sit with him in the throne room and read, whether that be on his lap or on the arm rest of the chair, or just whatever.

• Sometimes he’ll ask you to read to him before bed if you’re comfortable with that. If you start to feel shy or embarrassed, he’ll tease you and encourage you to do it. (If you genuinely refuse to, he’ll stop and probably won’t ask again lol). He just loves the sound of your voice, it’ll put him to sleep.

• He does find it decently interesting to read about history, but he would probably skip parts of a book instead of reading it the whole way through. It would also have to be a history event that he’s very keen on learning about, otherwise he’ll just ask someone to explain it to him or look up a short answer on the internet.

Silly goofy bonus:

If another super villain ever published a book on how to be the most successful villain, that will become Shredder’s number 1 favourite book of all time lol

Reader x Shredder Headcanons

Just some general headcanons, let me know if there’s any you want me to add!

Some mature themes

• He doesn’t care too much about body image. Of course there’s a certain point where he’ll become worried for your safety, but other than that, he doesn’t really judge. He cares a lot about personality and loyalty and true love, he dates to marry, and he married for a life time. And if you’re the right person for him, no matter your body type, he will love you endlessly.

• There may be times where he puts work over you, but that just part of being with a super villain, yknow? He will always appreciate your support and efforts.

• You can still absolutely have your own job if you want to. Small business? Scientist? Doctor? Whatever you want! He may even ask for your expertise in a few projects.

• (Just don’t expect him to allow you to do sex work or stripping 😭 his partner is his partner only, not for anyone else to see unless it’s anonymous online work 😭😭)

• Whilst you may not see eye to eye politically or morally, he is still willing to work it out with you. So if your occupation does happen to work against him or his ideals, he won’t stop you, he just might be a sly shit stirrer about it lol

• If you don’t want to work, that’s totally fine by him too!

• I don’t think he supports social media, besides the real news part of it. Stuff like the occasional Twitter post or whatever. But if you wanted to post on social media about yourself or your personal life, he probably wouldn’t allow it. He needs to keep himself secret as much as possible so his enemies can’t ambush him and such. Being an influencer is probably one of the few jobs he won’t allowed you to partake in. If you want to use social media like TikTok or tumblr or whatever, just stay anonymous!

• If you’re neurodivergent, he may not understand it all totally, but he’s willing to learn and grow. He doesn’t really bully people the way most people do nowadays (probably partially because he’s not online and doesn’t see everything you do). No matter what disorders or disabilities you have, he will help you take care of it! Medications, therapy, etc

• If you are a wheelchair or crutch user, he will immediately have more ramps and elevators installed in the lair to make every room accessible for you.

• If you tics, he will never laugh unless you ask him to. He doesn’t even pay attention to them. They are apart of you. If there is a certain trigger that is causing you to tic a lot in that moment, he will do his best to get rid of it for you.

• He doesn’t totally understand the entirety of the LGBTQ+ community. So if you are attracted to more genders than just male, he may take some time to sort of process what that means. He refuses polyamory, but he will understand that being attracted to more than one gender doesn’t automatically make you a cheater.

• He understands what depression and anxiety are, but he’s never really been around people that have them. Or at least, all the people he knows that have it don’t like to show it. If you have depressive or anxiety disorders, he sort of goes into a panic mode and is constantly worrying about you. Are they okay? What are they not telling me? Am I doing everything right? How can I help? Just tell him what you do and don’t need, and he will lovingly oblige 😊

• He loves watching you wake up in the morning. Not in a creepy Edward Cullen way, in an admirable way sort of. He’ll lay next to you in bed and smile at your soft facial expression. He loves watching you wake yourself up, like yawning, tying up your hair, stretching, etc.

Hope this wasn’t too shit 😭😭😭

Fem!Shredder x Reader • IMAGINE ONESHOT

Summary: in the early days of Shredder restationing in New York, Y/N was out on a walk. The streets were unusually quiet, so it was the perfect time for a night stroll. That was until Y/N had a shocking runin with our beloved villain…

~~~~~~~~~

It was weirdly quiet out tonight for New York, but you took this as a good opportunity for a late night walk. Peaceful, no one to bump into, perfect atmosphere! Plus it had been raining quite a bit for the past few days, so that lovely after-rain aura still stood strong.

Was this a stupid move? Oh 100%. But you had no bad feelings in your stomach and the news had been pretty clean for the last couple of weeks, so this is clearly a good sign…

You set out on a nice stroll, music in one ear. Just in case. The streets were flooded with yellow lighting, some of the stores still open with colourful advertisements flashing out the fronts. The night air was cool and gave you a graceful chill.

A few people took the same opportunity as you, walking their dogs or doing some last minute shopping. The buildings and apartment complexes still had the faint sound of bustling life, just on the inside.

The farther you walked, the less you recognised. New stores to check out! This was a plus side to taking night time walks. A down side was the uneasy feeling lurking behind you. You didn’t know these areas very well, but you hadn’t heard anything necessarily dangerous about them. That was good, right?

You lowered the volume of your music just a little bit more. Just in case. Maybe there was a gut feeling that you were ignoring earlier..

You past by a dark alley that was a bit wider than the others. You had to jog to the other side, looking both ways. You picked up the pace, this space having a sinister vibe written all over it.

“Psst.”

You paused. Don’t turn around. That’s a horrible idea, DO NOT turn around. Just keep walking. Jog if you have to. Just get true fuck out of here.

That’s what was going on in your head as you turned around and peered into the alley way. A tall and well built figure stepped out of the shadows. A woman.

She wore a large black jumper with the hood pulled over her head. The bottom half of her face was concealed by a metal mask, but from the rest of what you could see, she was a fire survivor. She wore those iconic grey sweatpants that has everyone swooning.

She pulled a hand out of her pocket and beckoned for you to come closer. You gulped and shook your head no. Immediately you turned and started in the other direction, not wanting to start any shit.

“Hey!” she shouted, her footsteps pounding. You stopped in your tracks and reluctantly swung back to her, already regretting making eye contact with her in the first place.

She grabbed your wrist and flung you back into the darker part of the alley way. She threw you against the wall, planting her fist next to your ear with a bone crunching sound. Her eyes squinted as your knees became jello, slowly folding beneath you. Her hand swiped and gripped the collar of your shirt in a bunch, pulling you back up to your feet.

“You think you’re so funny, don’t you?” she growled. You whisked your head side to side in a plea for release. “No - not really!” you husked on terror.

A moment of silence. This was the moment you realised it wasn’t just the two of you. There was a large group of people standing in the darkness to the side of you. In your peripheral vision, they all wore a uniform with their faces covered.

The woman took a step back, giving you space to breathe (or more so hyperventilate). “Have you ever heard the name Oroku Sako?”

You shook your head no. She closed her eyes and sighed. “Of course not. Because nobody will ever recognise a woman in charge.”

She tore off the jumper and tossed it to one of her friends. Her skin was completely burnt and blistered, but toned and defined and muscular. Her body was gorgeous. You sat mesmerised and terrified at the same time. What the hell did she plan on doing to you??

She pulled one of her followers forward and had them in a fighting stance. Immediate she showed off her incredible defence and offence skills. The man, who you could now tell was obviously a ninja, was thrown around like a fucking rag doll. By the end of her parade of kids and punches and jabs and throws and stomps, he collapsed to the ground completely unconscious. Your jaw was on the floor.

She stood over him, breathing heavy. Fighting with that mask over her face probably doesn’t help. Those sweat pants also probably make it difficult. Wonder how she would look without them…

She flicked her eyes over to you once again, her eyes showing a prideful grin. “Very soon, my little friend,” she started as she skipped towards you excitedly. The excitement seemed almost evil, devilish. “everyone is going to know the name Oroku Sako! Or at least they’ll know the name Shredder. You’ll see my name everywhere, hear it everywhere… I will have the entirety of the world sitting in the palm of my hand and I will have done it all by myself.”

She stood above you, gripping your shoulders like a mad woman on a high. Obviously she had been working for this for a long time… “Prepare yourself, friend. I will reign supreme and there will be no one in my way.”

How is this the hottest thing you’ve experienced in like… forever?? This is also the most threatened you’ve ever felt..

You nodded your head, not wanting to piss her off. She pulled the mask down and wrapped her hand around the back of your neck, imprinting a heavy kiss on your lips. Was this insanely shocking? 1000%. Hot? Definitely. A worry? Eh, you can get to that later. The positive is that this may keep you on her good side and maybe she’ll spare your life when she eventually takes over. Could this all be complete crazy talk? Well.. she has a giant group of ninjas sitting by her side in a dark alley and she’s clearly motivated enough. Drugged up or not, you believe her.

She pulled out of the kiss, leaving both of you breathless and yourself speechless. “Mmmm sorry, got carried away. Now… piss off before you and I regret it.”

Didn’t even take you a second to be on your feet and scrambling out of there. The last look on her face before you left looked almost victorious, like she was proud.

You ran all the way home, motivated by the paranoia of ninjas being sent after you to attack. You made it back home safely thankfully, chugging a bottle of water and blasting the fan in your face. The door and all windows were locked immediately. You debated whether the lights should be on or off; which would be safer or less attention-attracting? As you paced around, processing everything that had just happened and cursing yourself for making such stupid decisions, your hand reached into your pocket and pulled out an unexpected note.

It had a cafe location and a date and time scribbled down. When on earth did she have the time to write this down and slip it into your pocket without you noticing?? Let’s not worry about that now…

Would you go? Or should you ignore this ever happened and hope she, and her ninjas, never find your home or work place. But at the same time… No! It’s too dangerous and risky and stupid!

Although…
