What I Mean When I Do Not Control The Hyperfixation.

Chapter 5 Part 1

‘What the hell just happened?’

This day wasn’t supposed to be filled with so much fear and shock. It was supposed to be an a ok normal day at school with her friends. But April was here comforting Leo as he fell apart after what must have been hours of keeping himself together. It was one of the things April both loved and hated about him. How he tries so hard to protect the people he cares about but forgets to take care of himself.

She had to help them figure this out. There must be something they can find if the turtles and April combined their strengths. They’ve done it once and they can and will do it again.

But right now April needed to let Leo go through his process and let himself feel like this. The same thing happened to April when she lost older family members too. You just need to let them ride out this feeling until you can help them move on.

She pulled him into a hug as the turtle boy’s sobs continued. Slowly turning to sniffles. And then unsteady deep breathing. April sprinkled in a few reassuring words and rubbed Leo’s shell as she comforted one of her best friends.

Even though the turtles and April shared an equal bond, something about her and Leo’s was special. Leo understood her more than his brothers did. He understood what it was like to truly hate how people treated others for something that wasn’t their fault to begin with.

It hadn’t been that long before Leo realized what happened.

“Oh god!” He shook his head and tried to wipe away the tears that were still streaming down his face, breaking their hug.Leo tried not to croak when he talked. “I’m so sorry April! I don’t know why I did that! I just-”

April squeezed his shoulder. “Hey Hey Hey it’s ok. You’re gonna be ok.” She looked into his eyes and tried to help pull out the calm confident smart Leo that she knew could help and fix this. That she and his family believed in. Just like during Superfly’s attack. Leo stepped up and inspired them all to push through their limits and save New York City.

Leo felt his confidence come back slowly and steadily as he finally felt the first wave of relief since last night. He didn’t care if he was blushing. Well he did but it wasn’t the most important thing. Getting help and regaining his strength to help Mikey was important. Even so it still felt great to be reminded that even though one of his brothers was in danger he still wasn’t alone. None of them were. Leo would make sure of that. “Thanks April. I uh I needed that.”

“No problem.” April and Leo stood there smiling at each other for a few awkward minutes before she cleared her voice ready to start their search for the youngest turtle brother. “Now if you don’t mind I have a million questions about what happened and how we’re gonna fix this.”

“Wait you’re gonna help. But I didn’t even as-”

“Leo. It would be insane if I didn’t help you guys.”

Looks of determination spread across their faces. The duo was back together ready to solve this mystery.

“Alright. Let’s get started.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After rushing through the school day and letting his brothers’ club mates know that they wouldn’t be able to come, Leo returned to the heart and soul of his and April’s research. The old school dark room. The very first room the turtles got to explore in an actual high school.

He told April everything about what happened. Though it wasn’t easy it didn’t exactly trigger him into another anxiety attack. How many had he had anyways? 3? 4?

‘Focus Leo. Finding Mikey is really important.’

“So let me get this straight.” April said this as she pointed to rough sketches she had created on the dry erase board. Notes were jotted down next to the doodles. “You and your brothers were attacked by several cloaked figures and they each had a foot sewn onto their clothing?”

Though it sounded ridiculous it was true.

“Yeah pretty much. We didn’t get much time to see them because of how fast they were. We tried to fight through them but. . .”

“Ok. Let’s not look at what happened let’s look at what we know. Are any of you guys hurt?” April needed Leo to stay with her. She didn’t know how many more panic attacks they could endure.

“Oh yeah. They fought really well. These guys weren’t your average New York street punks. It was like they were taught and trained like we were. But in a much less defensive way.” Leo thought back to Donnie’s hand. It was practically the color of his old bandanna. Raph’s nose had been bleeding along with his mouth and scratches that tore through his skin. Leo was left in a similar condition. Someone had definitely used a roundhouse kick on his hip.

“Yeesh these guys sound like they would NOT take no for an answer.” April grimaced as she thought about how badly those wounds would feel like.

“But that’s the thing. Who would want us? What do four teenage turtle mutants help someone do?” Plenty of weirdos had crossed the turtle brothers’ path. It wasn’t unusual for someone to treat them like freaks even though they did save New York and possibly the world. But he never saw someone truly hate them to the point of breaking the law and kidnapping them.

“And who would have the guts or the heart to hurt you guys? You saved the world! Sure you look a little different but what kind of psycho wouldn’t at least tolerate you guys. What kind of sick ill minded cold blooded son of a-” April’s ranting was dulled as Leo came to a realization.

‘Blood’

He was suddenly drawn back to the night right before Superfly’s big attack. When him and his brothers had failed to stop the giant bug man from taking the last piece of his twisted puzzle. When they had been driven off the side of a highway, knocked out, dragged, and hooked up to a horrible machine. A machine designed to become a vampire once turned on. Sucking the blood and life out of its victims- the mutant brothers.

‘“What I want is your blood. And there is only one way to get it.”’

“TCRI.” Leo whispered as the present slowly moved into his grasp.

April broke out of her rant and looked shocked at Leo. “What?”

“TCRI. That’s who would want us.” Leo spoke louder but still in a slow dazed state. “That’s who would want us. That’s who would and could hire trained warriors to hunt us down. They have Mikey.”

The two teenagers saturated in the fear stirring up their stomachs. Bending their minds over to fears will.

If Mikey was being taken for the reason Leo thought he was, their family of mutants, containing the mystery of the ooze in their DNA, was in deep shit now.

that’s another chapter for the collection

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

Okay out of pocket but I NEED an Official MM / TOTTMNT Casey design because I can NOT cook my own 😭😭😭

Songs that make me think of Tottmnt Ship Headcannons

Just a couple of songs to give some inspiration for ship content.

Aprilnardo/Leopril:

Shut up and dance with me

Dandelions

Cheerleader

Rasey:

Sincerely, Me

Jenny(I wanna ruin our friendship)

Both:

Ho Hey

See you again

Genius

I wanna be yours

I swear I’m gonna get around to drawing these two perfect pairs at prom eventually. I literally cannot think of any other case in which April and Leo dance in the cannon and it’s not because Leo attempted to ask but was stopped by April kissing him and then saying something along the lines of “shut up and dance with me”. I also can’t listen to Sincerely, Me anymore without thinking about Rasey.

This sounds fun(if you do tell me in an ask be honest)

sometimes i wonder how a writer would describe me if i were a character in a book

Tottmnt/Mutant Mayhem Jennika Updated Reference Sheet

Casey Twins<Lita May<<Venus de Milo<<<Karai<<<< Joana Jones>Hidden City Group>> Sheena>>>

The Foot Sisters are complete!

(Yes maybe I did model Jenn’s humans design somewhat on the agent in Helluva Boss)

On her og storyline that I wrote, I kinda made her more dark and serious because I wanted MM to get more dark and serious. And yes while she is dark I decided to change her into a chaotic little bean who does not take the Foot seriously.(until she almost dies)

In her pre-arc, she’s a lot more expressive with her passions than the Foot would normally allow.

I don’t wanna write crappy dysfunctional paragraphs so imma just list off some headcannons;

I made her the tallest turtle because female turtles are naturally bigger than males(same thing applies for Venus being taller than Donnie). That’s why she kinda awkwardly shoots up after mutating.

Dyes her and Karais hair(one of the few things she misses when she’s a turtle)

Plays electric guitar(and normal guitar but only for Lita and maybe the other turtles)

Not completely comfortable without clothes as a turtle(via the pants and only wearing the mask(thinks the belt looks dorky))

As you can see above I’m gonna bring back Sheena❤️🎸(You’ll have to wait for me to write their lore there)

You know the phrase forgive and forget. Jenn would rather choose to just forget. It’s her very unhealthy coping mechanism. It’s why she dyes her hair. It’s also the reason why she is hesitant to uphold a rank in the New Foot even though her sister runs it.

Might add others at some point but that’s kinda it for now. The next part of my fanfic The Difference Between the Appearance will be featuring her so stay tuned for that(or don’t).
