You get to sneak out a lot, literally everywhere you go at night, he'll be there right with you.

OVERPROTECTIVE, SO OVERPROTECTIVE.

Although he has a short temper, he doesn't really raise his voice at you.

Still somewhat gruff, but that's to be expected, you've gotten a few grumpy remarks when he's in a particularly bad mood.

Is REALLY insecure, considering he is a mutant turtle monster and you're a normal person.

Hates admitting it, but envies your position, he's also really paranoid about you leaving him for someone more normal.

Surprisingly gentle with whatever you give him. Like everything you ever handed to him is handled with great care.

Sometimes gets Donnie to check your location, for your own safety he argues.

Tries to get you to join training sessions, he doesn't want you getting hurt when he isn't there with you.

Has literally tried to punt someone for coming too close to you, Leo and Donnie had to keep him in check.

Whenever he gets enough of his brothers he comes to your apartment to cool off.

Likes taking you on dates on the rooftops, it's easy for him to access and there's not really any risk of him being seen.

has picked you up like a sack of potatoes on multiple occasions, he thinks it's amusing when you try to struggle.

It's always Harvey Guillén's characters for me.

Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions

When bae is a workaholic so you have to provide an extra incentive to take a break
