Tottmnt/Tmnt MM Joana Marie Jones

I love the idea of different Donnies across the turtleverse just hanging out, playing video games, and discussing anime! ☺️💜

Hi there 👋,

My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

*Me trying to think of ways to make the next post of Tmaynt special*

Me: Oh! I know! I’ll do a collab of day 7 and 8

*day 8 comes*

Me: Wait. Which turtle ally is my favorite?

*whole day pass without work done due to inability to choose favorites*

Me: Ah Shit! I still can’t choose! And I have zero time to draw this collab! Uh that’s ok I can just post when I choose.

*the next day*

Me: ok I’ll definitely post today

*day after that*

Me: well I can’t miss one of the main four characters of a franchise that im obsessed with

*misses one of the main four characters*

Me: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

*continues to miss two more days*

Me: 😑

Well dammit

And that’s the story of why I didn’t post for the past few days. I tried SO hard to post each and every day for TMAYNT but I just couldn’t do it.

Might as well do it now I guess

Day 7 Best Gadget

I love the little Christmas lights and whisks at the ends

Day 8 Favorite Turtle Ally + Dynamic

Karai has got to be one of my absolute favorite characters in Tmnt. No matter what they do with her she is always a queen(except for bayverse but we don’t talk about that)

I ship them so hard but I love how their dynamic has so much variety . They’re best friends and lovers (head-cannon) and badass warriors.

Day 9 Best Raph

Look at him being so supportive of his bros

and then going rogue on the garage mission

but the first part is still true

Day 10 Favorite Turtle Curseword

I know everyone says this but probably shell

Day 11 Favorite Splinter

I still can’t pick one favorite bro 😭

What if the “brother” that rottmnt splinter was talking about is trans fem Venus de Milo or Lita?

Chapter 10 Part 2

After two weeks of training and a few arguments over this with Jennika, Karai could finally return to her mission. Eastman High stood before her as she walked towards it. The alley she was in cast a shadow to all those in it hiding her from the morning sunlight.

She had been waiting for this day for 2 weeks. And yet she still felt completely and utterly unprepared.

Crud.

What was she supposed to do? What would she even say to April? And even if Karai thought of something that wasn’t complete shit, would she even listen? Had she waited to long and lost her chance to fix this?

Karai felt it coming. Great timing.

She calmly pulled out her elixir and downed it. Against her piling fears, Karai stepped out and walked inward into the school. Breezing past the chaos of the hallways, making it to her locker was actually pretty easy. What wasn’t was holding her surprise to find April waiting right in front of it.

Oh shit.

Well at least I can’t put this off. Karai let out breath before continuing to the locker. She decided to get straight to the point. Dropping her bag she started the task of getting the supplies needed for her first 3 periods. She had already been taught most of this(other than American History) but it was still necessary for the facade. “Hey.”

April, not noticing Karai’s quick arrival, was startled at first before displaying a nervous smile. “Karai!”

Karai hummed in response pretending to be focusing on her task. This would hopefully give her enough time to think of the right words to say before apol-

“I’m sorry about making you upset.”

What?

The words that left her friends mouth shocked her. She didn’t mean to guilt trip her like that. At least not a big part of her. A small part still felt annoyed, and hurt, and . . . afraid. Afraid for Aprils safety as well as the friendship that came with it.

It was selfish and some of it happened because of ulterior motives. But April was still a fun person. Not in the annoying careless or petty way that most other people their age were. But the kind that actually made Karai genuinely laugh sometimes. Like it wasn’t all a facade.

She dreaded the thought of losing that.

April continued after a beat. “It’s really sweet that you’re trying to look out for me. Now I know that stuff makes you feel . . . uncomfortable, I guess? And I won’t dig and we don’t have to talk about it but . . .” She gripped the back of her neck with her hands giving a light massage to herself. A more solemn look was on her face. After a deep breath she finished. “I need you to understand that I can’t stop my research because of what may happen to me. My friends need my help. I can’t fight like they can so this is kinda my only way of helping them. I need to do this for them. I should do more but I can’t so I can’t stop doing the one thing I can to help.”

Karai was now giving her full attention to April. Locked closed as she leaned against it. Her arms were crossed so tightly across her chest that it hurt. The mild pain kept her grounded.

She was honestly surprised. April looked surprised at herself too. A flash of pride humbly blended in. Yeah she is definitely gonna use some of that for some kind of story.

But this meant that she was still writing about TCRI. April could get hurt. Be it at the cost of her pride, her profession, her hope . . . maybe even her life.

But Karai couldn’t help but admire her loyalty. Her risk of her safety for her friends. Something she herself had been taught was of the utmost importance for her entire rememorable life.

Karai let out a sigh. This girl owes me soo bad.

She guessed that she could buy some time for April. She was already misleading her father about the mutants. What harm could one human of all whom the entire foot is supposed to be fighting for do?

Karai would be a pretty big hypocrite if she didn’t anyway.

Karai let out a light chuckle, rewielding a smug look she hadn’t been able to for a pretty long time. “Nice job O’Neil. Apology excepted.”

April looked up, face brightening in surprise and naive relief. “Really?! So we’re cool now.” Her curls bobbed as she bounced on her heels.

“Hell yeah. Besides.” Karai hefted her backpack onto her back. “What you’re doing is pretty honorable. So if you wanna risk your life, it’s no one else’s job to look out for you.”

There was beat of silence. For a few moments Karai was worried that she said something wrong. But then April barked out in laughter. “Sorry!” She wheezed. “But did you get that from, like, Oprah? Or Keanu Reves? That was-Man. That was corny.”

“Not half as corny as your blue turtle friend.” Karai countered. Things were finally starting to return to normal.

“Hey! He’s not that corny. And I dunno it’s kinda sweet to me.”April played with her beanie with one hand, lower palm on her cheek. Karai could see the blush her friend was miserably failing to hide. Oh these two are definitely made for each other.

They continued back and forth down the hall until they made it to homeroom. Technically the sophomores and freshmen were supposed to have separate homerooms, but as most American schools do they ran out of money and willing teachers with experience. Besides, Karai was already joining 2 months before summer vacation. So Karai and April got the luxury of sharing one.

As per usual the teacher was paying no attention to the students talking simultaneously in a way that blended into familiarity. Karai looked around the classroom, seeing the expected different groups and cliques and . . . the four mutant turtles?! They were back in school already?!

Karai was trained so that she could look emotionless on the outside. But what was she supposed to about the inside?! Calm down. Calm down. You may recognize them but they probably won’t recognize you.

“Guys!” April shouted rushing towards the four in a big group hug. “April!”

They all crashed into each other, mindful enough not to draw attention but carelessly showing their affection. Karai could get a better view of each one now. The red and biggest one, the supposed hothead on the wrestling team. The purple and scrawniest one, the genius who almost moved up two grades despite having no academic experience. The blue and tall one, the worry wart with a very obvious crush on her best friend to everyone except surprisingly her. And the smallest and orange one who-

Oh shit! He knows ME!

Reality came crashing down. Karai forgot how carelessly she had exposed herself to the Foot’s previous captor. How he almost immediately called her out upon glancing.

April had broken the hug and turned to her hand still firmly on the orange turtle’s shoulder. “Oh! Karai I forgot to introduce you guys. You already know Leo.”

This could not be happening. Her dad was going to kill her for such an obvious mistake. April was going to hate her. Her panic just kept on rising internally. But externally the only thing showing was horrid, restricted pupils and a bead of sweat comically coming down from her forehead.

April continued going down the line of turtles. “This is Raph. Donnie. And Mikey.” While April looked back at Karai with a bright smile, the turtles seemed to share a look of suspicion.

No no no no no no.

“Hey do we know you from anywhere?” The blue on-Leo finally asked. Karai didn’t answer instead just quickly glancing at the orang-Mikey. She expected to see hatred and anger on his face. Fear for all of the pain he had been caused. But instead his face only seemed to be filled with . . . pity? Like he could see her panic. It was almost childish and calming.

But then his eyes narrowed and his head tilted slightly. “Yeah I know you.”

Oh crud. She forgot that children will always tell the bluntest of truths. It was coming she knew this was happening. It would all come crashing down an-

“You’re in my 4th period Art.”

What?

Karai looked up letting the tiniest flash of shock show on her face. She realized she was taking too long and quickly cleared her throat. “Oh-uh yeah I guess. Hi.” She spoke stiffly, readjusting herself.

Thank god. Er-I guess a mutant turtle.

The mood seemed to settle from there. April continued the conversation. “Guys this is Oroku Karai.” Her friend wrapped an arm around her shoulder so Karai sent a sarcastic smile her way.

The pur-Donnie spoke up. “Like anime?” His voice held a hint of excitement as it cracked.

“Oi, kotoba-dzukai ni ki o tsukero.” That got a chuckle out of him and it was easy enough for Karai to fake hers. “But seriously don’t compare people like that.”

“Oh yeah! Right! Sorry!”

“Geez Don.” The re-Raph pulled Donnie into a headlock. “You’re going to get a Leo chasm bigger than Leo’s.” Leo firmly smacked Raph on the back of the head whilst he noogied. Mikey laughed at his brother’s antics and then looked at Karai.

She didn’t know, it kind of felt instinctual, but he must have spotted her mouth out “thank you”. He winked in response causing Karai to roll her eyes.

This was selfish. She knew that she would eventually be betraying them. Eventually these funny moments would be seen as fake news. Eventually all of these fond memories would hurt April. But Karai was selfish. Downright snake like.

What the hell? Karai could pretend to enjoy being around mutants to enjoy this for now.

Previous Masterpost

ITS FINISHED!!! My dorky little Karai and her panic attacks. She’s not perfect and she’s kinda gonna lead them on but she just wants some friends. I tried showing a bit of their dynamics. They might come off a little like a-holes but that’s what teenagers are sometimes. I hope you guys like this. I will take a break before reposting this on Ao3(hopefully so that this chapter is reposted on the one year anniversary).

Cowabunga turtle fanz!
