ok i really liked this one it hit hard for inspo
drop some hcs here and i might draw em :)
posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance
I PROMISED I WOULD POST THIS TODAY AND DAMN IF I DIDN'T DRAW THE ENTIRE DAY JUST TO DO SO!
anyways, welcome to the plot side of the Donnieverse (or at least Seer's plot.)
Everyone look at Seer learning how to use his powers for good! I'm so proud of him!
anyways, explanation, in case none of this makes sense.
Seer saw himself meeting this Donnie b/c he was going to meet him. What he didn't know was if this guy was going to have a good life after they left. So he meditated as soon as he got to this Donnie's dimension, hoping that being in said dimension would let him see that Donnie's future.
It did. So Seer immediately went out to find him to help the one way he could.
As for Donnie vs the world, (a joke title i'll probably keep b/c i cannot think of anything better) is basically that a year ago (a few months after the krang incident) Bishop found out about the turtles and kidnapped them from their own home. Now Donnie, newly escaped and only just finding out his brothers are alive, has given himself the task of finding his brothers and making sure everyone responsible for this regrets ever being involved.
It's an old fic i'm currently rewriting a lot of but i couldn't resist putting in here, specifically so Seer could help him like this.
i want to coin a phrase that's the opposite of writer's block. call it the muse's fire hydrant. thirty thousand story ideas are being beamed directly into your brain and if you don't write them all at once you will die.
Adult friendships be like “I miss you bro, let's hang out in November"
Leo likes to talk, it’s part of being the face man & his role as a strategist that can manipulate situations to be in his favour but because he likes to talk there are certain words that can act as tells for his behaviour
“Spill the beans Leo! Every time you say ‘indubitably’ I know you’re up to something”
In Bug Busters we learn that Leo says ‘indubitably’ when he’s trying to hide something but Leo also has another word that’s indicative to his true mood.
Ninjocity.
There are two prominent times where Leo uses the word Ninjocity.
Donnie: I don’t know how much longer we can keep this up, he’s crushing us!
Leo: Really? ‘Cause I thought my overall ninjocity was totally working
Raph: So what if I say he- that word a lot. It’s a good word. We need to be that word.
Leo: Relax Raph. We’ve got this hero thing wired. I mean, our ninjocity is off the charts
The two times Leo uses the word Ninjocity is in Many Unhappy Returns when he’s fighting the Shredder & at the start of the Movie.
Leo likes to make jokes when he’s stressed he admits to it in the very first episode saying it’s ‘how he copes’ & people have discussed that the reason Leo is making so many jokes at the start of the movie might be because he’s stressed about the idea of having just been made leader & is trying to make Raph take the role back.
Leo using the word ‘ninjocity’ at the start of the movie is just proof of how stressed he was at the idea of being leader because the only other time he ever really uses that word is when his family is fighting a beast-like Shredder for the first time.
When people think of Leo in the episode Many Unhappy Returns they mostly think about how he was able to outmanoeuvre Big Mamma & how he knew his families strengths so well he was able to state exactly how they were able to hold off the Shredder while he & Splinter were at the Battle Nexus, but Leo’s attitude at the start of Many Unhappy Returns is perhaps the closest he’s ever acted in the show to how he acts at the start of the movie.
Meaning that at the start of Many Unhappy Returns his humour is cranked up to 11 & it appears like he isn’t taking anything seriously.
Leo: Thanks for doing the dirty work for us big up Shreddy!
Splinter: Not now Blue!
Leo: What? I thought a nickname might give us a nice repport.
Leo: One & Oh baby!
Leo: Going to need to make a two & Oh T-Shirt after this!
Leo: Oh Cheater! Don’t think we’re letting you keep those!
Raph: This is serious stuff Leo! Would you shore up our right flank already!
Leo: What? Mid-battle banter’s my thing like how your’s is saying words like flank
Leo likes to make quips in battle but the only times, he makes joke after joke, are the start of the movie & the start of the episode Many Unhappy Return or to put in other words the time he was trying to get out of being leader & the time his family was fighting Shredder for the first time.
People seem to think Leo had every thing under control the entirety Many Unhappy Returns because of how expertly he outmanoeuvred Big Mamma but he was only able to think of a plan involving Big Mamma /after/ Splinter suggested going to her. Before that he spends the start of the episode making joke after joke but whenever his families attention is off him
He’s terrified.
The fact that Leo’s actions at the start of the movie & the start of the episode Many Unhappy Returns are comparable means that the idea of being leader was as terrifying to Leo as fighting a beast-like Shredder.
And this is further evidenced by them being the only two real times Leo uses the word ‘ninjocity’, if Leo is stressed & scared he’s making joke after joke, appearing to not take anything seriously & the word ‘ninjocity’ makes an appearance in his vocabulary.
Leo likes to talk to try & distract others from his true feelings & intentions but he has tells.
If he says ‘indubitably’, he’s trying to hide something. If he says ‘ninjocity’ he’s stressed out & scared & is one bad event away from a panic attack.
I would love it if after Mikey brings Raphie over to the Rise universe, CJ sees him and shouts "Grandpops!" At the top of his lungs(or great uncle Raphie but Grandpops has more oomph) and Raphie face just gets stuck on this weird strangled smile as he tries to figure out what exactly Dee has been doing since he got sent home
lol yes! Raphie's just sitting there like "yes i have a grandchild!" but also like "It's only been two years. how did i get a grandchild?!"
Though, i will say this, it would be pretty cute if, in the apocalypse timeline, Future Dee was the one that adopted baby CJ (similar to how FW has Raph adopting him.) Cass would still claim CJ first, but since Dee is probably one of the few in their group with even a little bit of Tiny human experience, He'd probably end up taking care of CJ a lot and accidentally adopting him along the way. It would be a very adorable way of Dee following in his pop's footsteps : ) (and would give CJ a very good excuse to call Raphie Grandpops)
Thank you!
It bother me so much that people misunderstand sayaka miki's descent into madness in madoka magica. She doesnt become a witch "just because of a boy." Sayaka is a character who ties all her self worth into being in service of others. We can see this right from the start with her idolization of mami and everything that she was. She saw mami as this "perfect hero" even though mami i would say is mentally the weakest of the holy quintet. In the timelines where mami finds out about the incubator's true goals she always immediately breaks and goes crazy, trying to kill the other girls in her own twisted way of trying to "save them". Instead of seeing the fragile person that mami was, sayaka instead sort of treats her as a martyr, a goal to achieve. We continue on to sayaka's magical girl wish. Instead of wishing for something for herself, she instead sells her soul for the sake of kyousuke. Then when he starts dating hitomi she spirals not because she's sad about the rejection but because she feels replaced in his life, that he doesn't need or want her around anymore. Then she throws herself into her magical girl work not seeing that she's harming herself because she justifies it with "well im saving people that means what im doing is a good thing." She doesn't see that she's becoming more sloppy, more ruthless until its too late. It's only in the end when she turns into a witch that her story gets resolved.
Sayaka Miki is an incredibly sad character to me. While her actions have the illusion of being selfless and "for the greater good" she is actually incredibly selfishly motivated. Everything she does is in service of wanting praise and admiration from the people she cares about. If she helps kyousuke he'll appreciate her and love her, if she becomes a hero she'll receive praise and admiration for being a good person. This is why it is important that of all people it was kyoko that fought sayaka in the end. To homura, sayaka is someone to be saved. To mami, sayaka is her sweet apprentice/younger sister figure. To madoka, sayaka is her energetic and happy go lucky friend. Kyoko is the only one who from the start called sayaka out on her bullshit, seeing straight through her. And at the end, kyoko is the one who truly accepts sayaka. Sayaka as the witch Oktavia von Seckendorff is stated multiple times in official material to be "looking for love." In the end it it kyoko who gives her that love. Even when sayaka has lost her humanity it is kyoko who accepts her for the entirety of who sayaka is with all of her selfishness and desires. She is the one who sees what sayaka has become and stays together with her till both of their ends. Kyoko choosing to die with sayaka is her saying "I'm here for you, i know all of you, and I will love you regardless."

Been loving all the old men Leo crossovers happening in the fandom so I caved. Poor Replica Leo is just trying to avoid his less than emotionally stable, slightly older counterparts. His therapist says he’s making great progress and hopefully he’ll at least have some of his shit figured out before his inevitable demise. Surely no good would come from associating with them.
Let’s be honest though. He’s just as bad, just has the benefit of not having everyone dead in his life just yet.
Also gotta credit all these amazing people
