Raphael - Blog Posts
Hi! I saw you’re taking requests and was wondering if you could write a Bayverse! Raphael x fem Chubby reader. Reader is April’s new roommate who works as a veterinary assistant and accidentally meets the turtles.
Reader’s friendly and makes pop culture references, and reminds Raph of a fairy.
Reader doesn’t HAVE to be chubby, I might be projecting.
chubby reader?…. CHUBBY READER?!
come here for a second… 💍💍💍 please marry me… PLS MARRY MEEEEE!!!
probably won’t do the other stuff (veterinary assistant, and like just meeting the turtles) but chubby reader and aprils roommate, yeah 100%
(Idc if you project I’m also chubby :3)
Fandom: TMNT
warnings: a little bit of angst (insecurities) but that’s all- it’s mostly just fluff
Pairing: Bayverse! Raphael x Fem!Chubby! Reader
You were aprils roommate and you know about the turtles, you have for about a month.
The turtles were still trying to warm up to you, so far they trusted you. A specific one claimed to hate you… but in reality you were like a fairy to him… you were so beautiful and graceful… he wanted to scoop you up in his arms and give you little kisses along every part of your body. He would never tell you that tho… that turtle was Raphael, the big bad tempered raphael, he never knew why he felt this way towards you.
His brothers quickly picked up on his change in behavior whenever you were around. He would always stare at you, Whenever you’d crack a joke that wasn't particularly funny he’d laugh, when you laughed he smiled, when you patched him up after a fight or patrol his face would turn a slight darker shade of green, when you would ramble on about your hyperfixations or something you really enjoyed doing he would listen.. And his brothers swear any time Raph looked at you there were small cartoon hearts in his eyes.
So when you came into the lair today with a frown on your face, Raph was the first person to ask you if you were alright, to which you had answered yes too. Raph knew something was wrong and he needed to figure out what it was that was bothering you.
About 20 minutes before you were about to go to the lair you were on the phone with one of your family members… they started to mention how you were gaining some weight and that you should go to the gym with them, you politely declined saying that you were healthy enough and you didn't want to (nor needed) to goto the gym, they then yelled at you…
“So you wanna stay that FAT for the rest of your life?! No man would ever want a girl as fat as you are!... no wonder nobody likes you.”
You hung up immediately after they said that… for the rest of the time you were getting ready you kept staring at your outfit, looking at yourself in disgust, so you changes into sweat pants and a oversized hoodie… your favorite one, that you had cried so many times into.. You then sat down and cried… Your face hot and wet, You always knew you hated the way you looked but when you heard someone else comment on your body, you hated it so much more.
You then got up to leave after cleaning yourself up.
When you arrived and Raph asked you what was wrong you tried to play it off that you were fine and nothing was wrong… He saw straight through that and as the day went on he kept trying to get you to spill so he could help.
“Come on shortstack, i know your not fine, please tell me whats wrong”
“Nothings wrong raph! Im fine!”
“Clearly you’re not, every single time without fail you come into the lair with a smile on your face!”
Raph looks at you as he says this… he grabs your hands.. Thank god his brothers are on patrol right now otherwise he’d be toast.
He loved you.. He finally figured it out… His problem was he loved you.. He still didn’t know why you were sad, but he would figure it out soon. You finally spoke up.. And told him about what your family member said, he hated it when anyone talked about you like that.
You started to cry and he also hated seeing you cry, so he hugged you and started to comfort you
“Hey hey.. I know this is very out of character for me but listen. You are beautiful.. Matter of fact, I love the way you look, your body is so pretty, you are adorable and that little tummy you hate?.. It's so cute. Those stretch marks you cover up? Beautiful. And I guess that's one of the reasons i love you so deeply.”
“W-wait… what?..”
“I love you.. So much.”
“R-really?’
“Yes i've loved you since we met”
Without a warning you stood up straight and on your tippy toes.. And.. Kissed him, This kiss wasn’t like any before.. This kiss was sweet, gentle, and passionate… You could tell Raphael was scared of hurting you.
You now knew why you’d feel someone staring at you 24/7.. It was Raph’s hazel eyes..
In truth.. You likes him too. And he now knew that.
“I.. I love you too raph”
AHH IM SK SORRY THAT WAS SO SHORT‼️
I hope you guys enjoyed regardless!
and I’m sorry for the very out of character raph bits

I wanted this to give off the same vibe as that comic of the mlp Charater going "I'm so hungry I could..." "How hungry" but it kinda worked and kinda didn't.

Heroes in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!
So I don't really post on here but I kind of wanted to talk about the new TMNT show and film as I just recently finished it and it seems I'm starting to get back into the Turtles. So to start, when I first heard about the show I was excited about it as hey we're getting new TMNT content and u can NEVER have too much content of something u love! When I watched the first few episodes at the time I was very, I guess, put off by it. I grew up with the '03 turtles and my fav has and forever will be Leonardo. So in the 2018 show, I was shocked to find out Leo was not the fearless leader that we knew and suppose to love and the fact that he turned into Mikey 2.0. I love Mikey but Leo's suppose to be the cool, calm, and collected Turtle, not the one that runs off and does whatever he wants! I was also shocked to see how more mature Mikey was than Leo! Besides that, the portrayal of Splinter was terrible as he had no interest for his sons and the roll of Donnie became similar to Raph as he was kind of an a-hole and sarcastic all the time. I will also say April was a bit much. I mean definitely love the girl power and go get it attitude but at times my little bro and I would be like whoa she crazy. I will say it was interesting to see Raph step up to that leader roll and we could all see how much Raph cared for his family. I mean if ur already a die hard TMNT fan then u know Raph cares for his family deeply but often has a difficult time showing it. In this case it was different to see that his feelings weren't hidden and he was very open with his brothers.
Anyway, going to today, I recently started to rewatch the '03 Turtles on Paramount + and decided I would watch all of the TMNT content that came out over the last 30 years so that also meant 2018. I only saw the first few episodes at the time and hadn't watched all of it until now which I have to say I'm glad I did watch all of it as it was really good. I think my favorite is the last few episodes of season 2 as it felt more like the Turtles I grew up with and all of the content that we have seen of the TMNT so far. The film was also really good as it felt more like redemption for Leo considered how he has acted during the two seasons. While I couldn't help about think of all the issues that I stated above I'm kind of glad we got exposed to it bc things definitely did change. With Splinter he became a lot more caring to his sons, himself, and for the Hamato family as well. April was still April but I definitely love her way more than the 2012 April. With the guys, I have learned to love all of them even though they are very different from what I'm used and what Kevin and Peter created but it's good that's different. We as a society have to accept that there's going to be change and yeah u may not like it but it's going to happen. I'm also not saying everybody has to like it but just remember that it's there and others may like it so don't hate and be mean about it. I know I'm in a few FB TMNT groups and the new TMNT definitely gets a lot of hate which is pretty sad. Overall this new series and film is very different but it was a good different and being a student filmmaker I can only hope that someday I will also be able to make my own TMNT content preferably live action as we don't have much TMNT content through there and it would be fun to try it out. I can't help but feel like I have to end with something about Leonardo but I'm glad Ben Schwartz got to voice and bring this new Leo to life on this show. I can only hope Rise will get another season as clearly they definitely deserve it! Anyway sorry for the long post but ✌ & cowabunga!
I can’t tell you the genuine squeak of pure glee that came out of me as I watched this because they WOULD and I am HERE FOR IT. 🙌🏼🤌🏼✨🧡
Like this was really well done, super impressed OP
I’ll say right away that I’m not an animator, so I don’t really know how to make storyboards yet
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO DO THIS.

Hot take but problematic Raphael specifically from the 2007 TMNT movie with the Brooklyn accent and motorcycle is actually my favorite.
Like look at this bitch—
Meadow would so join in, if Raphael and Korilla weren’t trying to actively kill her (and Lae’zel too)

When Devil Came Out To Mike, Gabe and Raph and told them about his relationship with dice
Devil: Ok guys, it turns out I’m pans Raphael: Ok Lucifer, that’s wonderful Gabriel: Hmm, okay Michael: Good for you Lucifer Devil: Woah! You guys don’t mind at all? That’s pretty surprising, especially for you Michael Devil: Devil, dragging king dice: So anyways meet my boyfriend, King Dice. Raphael, internally: *Devildice shipper noises* Gabriel: Lucifer, what the fu- Michael: Y’know what, I’m not even surprised
really thinking of making this animation I have in mind happen, but it'll be two minutes and lord knows I won't finish that lmfao
Raph rant [COMIC]
![Raph Rant [COMIC]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c53f740c46529993dbbae4e4b5a990be/a86f145eaee4f4ee-6d/s540x810/0c554c6cac225bd7a83eee1f1dcd75bc726cf760.png)
Just testing out how I want to do the comic for my own story by lining and coloring this comic sketch I once made.
TMNT 2012 has shaped my personality and humor as a kid.. more than i'd like to admit
Errrmm scratches my head awkward turtle
also i saw lots of people doing cool usagi redesigns more info about the rabbit himself below 🐰
I really like usagi in the tmnt 2012 universe but I sort of wish he wasnt from another dimension and instead became a friend of the turtles over time in their universe :]
I didnt want to change too much about him because I am just starting to read the comics, but i thought itd be fun to instead of making him very serious and cool like he was in 2012, to make him more competitive and a perfectionist (as well as having his cool moments)
I dont know much about him yet in my (sort of) redesign but id like to think he is so used to traveling alone that he does not want anything to do with the turtles or teaming up
But over time he becomes friends with all of them! with leo he is super competitive (both are blue and independent... usagi immediately thinks they are rivals HAHAH) but they become buds after a while
with raph id imagine they train a lot together and have more in common than they think since usagi gets frusterated easily which raph can relate to
I think mikey would help usagi to learn to relax and take life as it is, so usagi respects mikey greatly (and also acknowledges that mikey is super gifted with fighting)
and with don uhhhhmm errmm scratches head i do not know SORYR
THAT WAS LONG I APOLOGIZE HOPE YOU NEJOY...
THE FACE OF AUTSIM!!!!
idk if these are good cause i got an andrenaline rush in the dead of night and drew all of the donnie ones till i fell aslseep
