How To Read Like A Writer

Hi is it ok if you do Yin and Jin x Sibling! Reader

Where reader feels like thier in thier brothers shadows and their way of coping with it causing serous damage to the mortals. They would hurt them...... at least not physically but definitely mentally. Until Yin and Jin catch wind of this by listening in to the mortals and being good big brothers to talk, discipline and get to the bottom on why thier sibling is acting this which the brother then find why and that reader doesn't wanna feel overshadowed by them and just want attention good or bad..

Platonic (obviously) a bit of angst and fluff.

Hello! I'm gonna clear up some left over requests in my inbox, hope this didn't take too long! Good ol' gold and silver demons. I love those little dweebs (affectionate).

Rusted Metal | Jin and Yin x platonic!sibling! reader

You loved your brothers.

If anyone were to ask you that you would immediately say 'yes'. Why wouldn't you? They're the most clever trickster demons there are in the city. They're the gold and silver demons, the greatest enemies of the Monkie Kid! Of course you look up to them.

They were the best siblings you could ever ask for. They shine like glimmering statues, standing tall in the massive city that is Megapolis. A bit goofy, yes, but that was part of their charm.

They did everything they could to take care of you when you were little. They declared that they would be the best older brothers to you, and they kept by that promise for years. You would give the world to them for all they’ve done for you.

So yeah. You loved your bros.

But sometimes, being their sibling feels... Underachieving.

They're silver and gold. The two most valuable metals in the world. What does that make you? Compared to your brother's statues that basically shine in the sunlight, you feel like you're merely a tiny speck of dirt behind them, overwhelmed by the shadow the statues cast onto you.

Gold and Silver. Silver and Gold. They're the dynamic duo.

And you're always left out.

Maybe you're not even a metal at all. Maybe you're just rust. That would explain the biting and acidic feeling you get whenever you see your brothers carry out one of their plans while you're left awkwardly standing to the side, forgotten.

It would make sense. Your entire life, you’ve been raised and cared for by Jin and Yin. And what do you do in return? Absolutely nothing. For all you know, you’ll end up corroding them, tarnishing their metal glow and replacing it with a rusted over sheen.

Those intrusive thoughts swirl in your brain, slowly seeping into every part of your body. You hated feeling like this. You hated feeling so useless.

You needed a way to release all these pent up emotions, before it tears you apart from the inside.

And what better way to do that than messing with some mortals?

Don't get this wrong, you would never hurt a mortal. Not physically, anyway.

But it was always fun to psyche them out. The gradual doubt in their faces as you spewed out nothing but lies makes you feel a gram of satisfaction, pointedly ignoring your own feelings about your brothers. A part of you acknowledges that this isn’t the healthiest way to deal with your problems, but you shove that thought aside. 

Heading back to your hideout, you catch whispers of gossip about you from the streets. A wave of pride washes over you before slowly being converted into shame. Why would you ever feel pride about this? 

But that thought was quickly stomped out as you headed back to your family’s hideout, carefully opening the doors and tip-toeing inside. Your brothers never knew about your little excursions in the night to mess with mortal’s heads, and you don’t plan on letting them know anytime soon. 

But it seems like luck wasn’t on your side today, as Jin pops out from another room and says “Oi, there you are Y/n! Where’ve you gone off to? We haven’t seen you all mornin’!”

You stiffen before casually straightening up and rubbing the back of your neck in a sheepish manner.

“Yeah, sorry about that Jin. I was trying to explore the city to get some junk for your schemes, but I guess I lost track of time.” 

Jin looks down at your empty hands and back at you. You feel a brief sense of dread and guilt as Jin gives you a scrutinizing look, before shrugging and calling for his twin.

“Alright! Ey, Yin! Y/n’s back!”

“Really?” Yin peeks his head from out of the room. He strolls out, hands on his hips and scolds you like a mother. “And where’ve you been, ey? Ya gave us a right scare when we saw you were gone!”

You playfully raise your hands in surrender as Jin explains to his twin where you went. Yin only huffs and shakes his head, talking about how you could’ve been kidnapped if you continued on doing this.

Your smile becomes a bit strained as they bicker amongst each other. If only they knew what you were really up to when you go out... They won’t be worried about you getting kidnapped, that’s for sure. But disappointment and disgust was a definite reaction if they were to ever hear about what you do to mortals in your free time.

“Urgh, you’re impossible!” Yin throws his hands in the air dramatically. Jin rolls his eyes, and you chuckle at their animatedness. 

“Anyway!” Jin gives you a big grin. “We’re workin’ on another scheme we’re plannin’ to pull next week! Wanna help us out?” 

Your eyes widen in surprise. “You... want me to help you guys?”

“O’ course!” Yin wraps a shoulder around his brother, copying his smile. “You’re our sibling, your infoot helps improve our little pranks!”

Jin frowns, “Uh... Mate, I think it’s ‘input’.”

“Input? What’s input-”

“No, the word you just said- It’s input, not infoot-”

“Input... Really? I thought-”

They argue once again in whispers. Their antics bring a smile to your face, joy bubbling in your gut when you processed what they asked of you.

“Yeah!” You say, interrupting their banter. “Yeah, I’d love to help you guys!”

They go back to their smiling faces, and gesture you to come inside the room. You jog inside, a big grin on your face, not noticing the twins both giving each other a serious glance behind your back and shutting the door behind them.

--------------

Okay, so this was getting awkward.

The entire time you’ve been ‘planning out a new scheme’, your brothers have been constantly sending you furtive glances when they thought you weren’t looking. It was getting a bit irritating, but you guess that they’re just doing it out of good will. You had no idea why they keep glancing at you, as if desperately wanting to say something but can’t, or are just too afraid to, but you trust them that they’ll tell you sooner or later.

A few minutes go by though... And you’re starting to get worried. The joy that once filled your body was now replaced with annoyance and nervousness that twisted your gut. Every time your brothers glance at you, you feel a pit forming in your stomach, only worsening when they look away and continue talking with clear hesitance. 

They obviously had something to say to you. That was why they brought you here in the first place. 

A part of you feels that burning, acidic feeling again when you realise they didn’t really wanted to let you help them out with a scheme. 

Why would they anyways? It’s not like you’d contribute anything useful.

You clench your fists, tired of thinking and feeling this way. The annoyance that was slowly building up the longer you’ve been in the room has reached its breaking point, its cracks slowly crawling up your body, threatening to snap. 

Another glance makes you slam your fists against the table, making your brothers jolt.

“Alright, what’s going on? You guys got something to say?”

Jin and Yin tense and send each other a worried look. Your eyebrow twitches, and a scowl etches itself onto your lips.

“Well? Spit it out.” 

Despite your angry face, anxiety clenches your gut. From the look of their faces, whatever they gotta say must be serious. That’s not usually a word you’d describe your brothers, but seeing them so stone faced and filled with worry makes your heart beat faster in fear. 

They aren’t gonna talk about... that. Right? They can’t possibly know.

Yin coughs in his fist, making you direct your anger to him

“Well... Ya see, Y/n we-” he rubs his neck. “When you went missin’, we tried lookin for you. Ya know, since we’re your big brothers and all and we gotta take care of ya! And when we went out we... Well, we heard some- some not so nice things about ya from the mortals.”

Your heart jumps in your throat, an icy chill seizing your body. 

Jin continues, “And we know it can’t be true, cuz you’re our siblin’! But... With how weird you’ve been acting lately...” 

Your knuckles turn white from how hard you’re gripping the table. Your nerves are on fire, your breaths shallow.

Your brothers, seeing your reaction, carefully leans over the table takes each of your hands in their own. They both give your hands a loving squeeze, a reassuring look in their eyes. 

“Hey, it’s alright. We ain’t mad.” Jin says.

Yin nods, “Yeah. We’re just worried, is all. We’re your bros, and we wanna know if what the mortals are sayin’ is true. We won’t get mad at ya if it is, okay?” 

Their voices lower down into a comforting tone you vividly remember from your childhood. They used it all the time whenever you were scared, or had nightmares and ended up racing to their bedrooms and hiding in their sheets. It was so much simpler back then, when the only things you had to fear were the darkness and being caught by authorities. 

But now, you had bigger fears. And every single one of them were coming true.

The only difference is, you can’t hide in your brothers room anymore. You can’t count on them for support or comfort.

Because they’re a part of your fears. 

How are you supposed to tell them if they’re the ones you’re scared of?

“I-...” Your throat tightens, and you can barely get the words out.

“Hey hey, it’s okay. We’re here, it’s alright.” 

They get up from their seats and pull you into a hug. They rub circles on your back, whispering words of comfort and promises.

You feel horrible. Your brothers are so good to you and yet... Yet you’re so ungrateful. You just wanted to be seen and known, just like them. But with all the things you’ve done to the mortals, you’re sure that they won’t forgive you.

“I...” Your voice wobbles, and your face twists as you try not to cry. Hopelessness weighs down on you, making your figure tremble in the arms of Jin and Yin.

“It’s alright, sibs.” They whisper. “It’s okay. Let it out, we’re here for ya. Just tell us what happened, we won’t judge ya at all...” 

That makes you break. A choked sob leaves your lips as your bury your face in your hands. Your brothers squeeze you in their embrace as they listen to you blurt out what you’ve been doing and why.

“I’m sorry,” You sniffle, tears rolling down your cheeks. “I just... didn’t wanna feel so useless compared to you guys. You- you took care of me my entire life and- and I do nothing in return. I thought that maybe... If I messed with some mortals, I could’ve gotten some attention that way. That was stupid, I don’t know why I did that. I just-”

You bite your lip, trying desperately not to sob again. Jin wipes away your tears, and Yin hands you some water and tissues that were kept on the table. Their faces transitioned from worry, to shock, to sadness as they listened to your entire confession. Both of them kept silent, letting you spill out your feelings in a fit of sadness, staying by your side the entire time.

When you finished blowing your nose and taking some sips of water, your brothers release you from their hug to give you some space. You brace yourself for the inevitable disappointment, because as much as they said they won’t get mad, what you’ve done was something that was deserving of some sort of punishment.

“Y/n...” Jin starts, and you feel your heart sinking. Jin sees your hunched figure and places a hand on your shoulder. “Hey, it’s alright! Like we said, we ain’t mad.”

“But aren’t you disappointed?” You whisper, loud enough that they could hear you. “I did all that, just because I didn’t have any attention. It’s stupid-”

“Hey, no it ain’t!” Yin cuts in. “Ya felt left out and abandoned, that’s perfectly find an’ valid. We don’t blame ya for trying to cope with how ya feel.” 

“It’s just that, well... it’s not the healthiest coping mechanism, innit?” 

You nod slowly. 

“And! As your bros, it’s our responsibility to take care o’ ya and take note of how ya feel! And, we didn’t-... really did a good job of that, did we?” 

Jin and Yin look at each other with regret in their eyes. Their voices quiet down to a whisper, as if they didn’t want anyone else but you to hear.

“We’re... We’re sorry for not noticing how ya felt. We know it ain’t our fault exactly, but- well... We shoulda seen how you were acting and asked you sooner. We’re your bros, it’s our job.”

Your eyes turn downcast, ashamed and not wanting to meet their eyes. “You don’t have to apologize. It’s my fault for not telling you guys anything and taking it out on the mortals.”

There’s a brief pause, where you all stay silent. Only the trees swaying in the wind and the chirping of birds fill the air, as you stay in place in your brothers arms. 

It was oddly comforting, in a way. It was like you were a child again. You’d give anything to go back to those times.

But... If you think about it, nothing really changed. You’re still young, you’re still scared, and despite your mistakes your brothers still love you wholeheartedly.

You’ve all grown and matured over the years, yes. But at the same time, nothing has changed. They’re still the lovable brothers you always knew, and you’re still their little sibling they love with all their being.

Yin breaks the silence.

“How about we all just say sorry? That’s easier to do, I think.”

Jin nods with a whisper, “Tha’s a good idea.”  

He then looks at you, still caged in their hug. “I’m sorry, Y/n.”

Yin gives you a light squeeze. “I’m sorry too.” 

You open your mouth, but the words stay clogged in your throat. You gulp, hoping to at least say something, before croaking out a soft:

“I’m sorry.” 

Yin gives you a soft smile, “See? Everything’s better now.” 

Jin agrees, before saying something hesitantly. “We promise we won’t make ya feel that way again, Y/n. Kay? And if we ever do, tell us.”

You nod, an immense weight being lifted off your shoulders. “I will.”

A sigh escapes your lips, tiredness replacing your anxiety. You slump and snuggle into their embrace. “You’re the best bros ever.”

You hear them both chuckle, “We know.” 

--------------------------------

Just saying this now, but if Macaque ever met Y/n they would’ve TOTALLY bonded. Mac would’ve taken one look at Y/n’s angsty aura and be like “damn they just like me fr!!” 

Also!! Sorry this took so long to get out!! I had some school things I had to submit last minute + the fact that this isn’t formatted like a brainrot/headcannon like usual! Still hope you like it tho :]] 

IM GLAD U LIKE IT!!! it's been a while since I've been in either fandom, but... I might go back to it one day... Hopefully!!

📓

i fr put all of the fandoms ive written for in a wheel of names and it landed on ROTTMNT,, i have NOT been in that fandom for a while, zamn!!

Not sure if this counts, but I used to have this one crossover idea of Rise of the TMNT and Lego Monkie kid mixed in with a reader insert. My reasoning on why they crossed over was because they were both animated by the same company, and therefore took place in the same world (or at least, that was how it was in the story).

Reader was Macaque's student and inherited some of his shadowy powers, and somehow gets transported halfway across the world from China to New York City! It's there they would meet the Turtles and would agree to teach them how to better harness their mystic energy, in return for a place to stay while Reader figures out how to get back home.

Then they would gradually fall in love, yadda yadda... I remember Reader and Donnie having this sort of Rivals to Lovers dynamic, where Reader would insist that magic/mystical powers are superior while Donnie would insist that technology was superior. And because they both have a big ego, they'd butt heads a lot lmao.

I'm,,, not sure if this counts,,, Because I have technically written and published this?? But it's on another platform, and I never got past 2 chapters and the Turtles weren't even introduced yet, despite me having so many plot points planned out.

Erm... U know what this still counts. Bcs I say so 😁😁

Ty for the ask!! I have a lot more ideas in different fandoms if anyone else wants to join in!!

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

RAHHHH ITS FINALLY MY CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!!!

Hopefully I get to be more active on here!! Again, sorry for the late reply </33

Yoo that was so me, too... But like, the other way around lmao. I was super into Monkey King/JTTW stuff and watched a bunch of movies about it. Monkey King Reborn, Hero is Back, etc etc. I watched those shit RELIGIOUSLY. I think I even managed to download the actual book online and read that, too.

And then that blue rat happened /affectionate

HASHSHASH yeah- I think I'm just always getting into fandoms with a stinky ass mascot. We got the stinky monkey and now a stinky hedgehog. Theyre both blorbo material and also need a shower for real.

Your rambles are never annoying! Its so nice to see someone pop in here frequently, other than some irl moots and 🐢 anon (btw 🐢 anon, if ur reading this, i hope youre doing good!!)

My favorite holiday,,, Hrmm I think this one has got to go to Christmas. Not for anything special, only because where I live, my country begins to celebrate christmas in SEPTEMBER. It's this whole thing where September hits, and people are already getting ready for christmas. We call it the 'ber months' and I think its the funniest thing ever.

Question time!! Whats a piece of fandom knowledge/trivia do you know? It could be anything!!

I hope youre doing good, 🍑 anon!! Incredibly advance Merry Christmas :]]
