Playing With Fire ~ I’ve Discovered That Sans Playing With Grillby’s Flames Is My New Favorite Thing!

ah, so one of my sketches may have gotten slightly out of hand ...

i may fully finish this (or what-have-you) later if my joint pain decides to abate a bit :)))

guys i thought of this earlier: what if Leshy Inscryption’s “hair” changes with the seasons?

fall: colored leaves and mushrooms

winter: pine needles and holly branches

spring + summer would be harder to differentiate but it’s green leaves and flowers

Strength

Rise Ramblings #565

While watching the show, I realized that we don’t really get to see the boys’ true strength very often. Yes, we see their Ninpo at work, especially towards the end of the series, but I believe that outside of their Ninpo there is so much more to these boys than meets the eye.  

When thinking about raw strength, it’s easy to say something like “Yeah, Raph is the strongest.” And for good reason...

He is the one that works out the most.

His build is the largest and the most intimidating.

Often times we see him picking up, carrying, or tossing his brothers around, no problem.

And that’s why this big guy gives the best hugs.

But the main reason why he's seen as the strongest is because he’s the one generally seen picking up the most impossibly heavy objects.

Although, he does have his limits.

Yes, Raph is the strongest, but that does not negate the strength of the rest of the bros.

The physical abilities of the other three are nothing to sneeze at, especially since they were all originally created to be weapons. (See “What Was Meant To Be” for more on that subject.)

Take Mikey for instance.

Of all of the boys, you wouldn’t think of Mikey as particularly strong, but here he is shoulder pressing one of his brothers for fun.

And flinging the boy in plum.

What about Leo? Sure, we never really see him exert himself, especially when it comes to weightlifting or exercise, but I can’t help but notice how much he tends to carry his little brother.

Furthermore, Leo doesn't just carry Mikey, but throws him around as well.

But I believe the one that low key shows off his strength the most is Purple.

(It might have something to do with his overall lack of restraint, but I digress.)

He easily carries his brother when he needs to.

And more impressively, he throws Mikey like nobody’s business using his bow staff and his own brawn.

Speaking of his staff, if this is true:

Then what do we make of this instance?

Yes, the staff was already semi-broken, but does he go on to completely demolish the titanium staff in frustration with his bare hands? (Kudos to @theaphaeon for pointing this out!)

You be the judge.

Nonetheless, for me, what really proves Donatello’s strength are these scenes:

Donnie doesn’t just carry out this feat once, but twice!

Not only does Donnie hold up the combined weight of ALL of his brothers, but he does it via one leg. For a normal person, if all of that weight was put on one leg they would be severely injured. But for Donnie, this is just a silly mode of travel with his beloved bros. Meanwhile, his jet pack is struggling under the combined weight of all four turtles...

All-in-all, I just wanted to really highlight the turtles' physical strength and remind myself that strength is not just a Raphie thing, but something that stems across all of the turtle teens.

Do you guys have any more examples of the boys being the powerful weapons they were created to be without using their Hamato Ninpo?

hi. eldritch blast to the face.

hi it's chicken i had a Thought about capitano. brain empty this thought has probably been thunk before but what if he's weak to being called pretty/handsome/beautiful. (extremely vaguely set in the hot springs post bc it's on the brain) call him so handsome and he just. freezes for a second. then, quiet and just the tiniest bit hopeful, "say that again." obviously of course he knows you think he's hot, or at least really good at sex, because you keep coming back, but handsome, now, that's a new one. a really, really nice new one. people have after all called him a hideous monster before (no taste, you scoff at that) and it's not as if he's particularly torn up about it, more of a fact of life honestly, but it's unexpectedly really nice to have a partner who thinks he's pretty. oh the look on his face when you admit you've thought he's handsome since the first time you saw him, you just didn't say anything bc you didn't think it needed saying ahh i fucking love this guy

side note/addendum i love him so much i reported/blocked Twenty-Three porn bots out of his tag today. endless fucking trench war

capitano marching off to fight the pornbots in his tag so his thirsty followers can live in peace lmao

but noooooo, now i'm brainrotting about soft capitano :((((( he knows he's fearsome, he knows he's scary and intimidating. it's partially why he wears his helmet and rarely undresses around others. he wants everyone to be able to approach him if they're in need of help, and he's aware that they can't really do that if they're terrified of him

so when you're straddled on his lap, enjoying the natlan hot spring, running your hand through his hair and scratching his mandibles and you quietly coo about how handsome he is, something just... melts in him that he didn't realize even existed. his entire body relaxes suddenly, you feel any tension in his jaw just release at that moment. and he slowly shifts you, pressing you closer as he starts kissing at your neck, pleased clicks and chuffs vibrating through his mandibles.

that night it's different. he's somehow softer than normal, chuffing and purring and groaning into your ear, louder than normal. his clawed hands are light and gentle, caressing instead of grasping and scratching like he usually does. he's used to his partners enjoying roughness and scratches, but now there's a sort of... protectiveness that he's feeling towards you. now he's scared that he'll hurt you. so he withdraws his claws for the evening, running his scaled hands all over your sensitive spots he's learned like the back of his hand.

and when you're finally spent for the night, dozing off in your bed, he pushes himself into your arms, pressing his face into your chest. you're a bit confused at first, laughing softly as you start running your hand through his hair.

but then, in the quietest voice possible, something you could have never imagined capitano managing, you hear a quiet, "that's the first time someone has ever called me handsome. thank you."

and so you make sure to call him handsome. every day, sometimes every hour if your schedules work for it. and you simply adore the way you watch him visibly relax and soften every time.
