Old drawings I don’t think I ever posted. I’m a big fan of the “Splinter was an old rat which is why he mutated into an old man but is actually not that old in human years” headcanon <3

By the way in honor of upcoming splinter week I would like to remind everyone of when during the ninja tribunal arc Splinter kept having visions of demon Shredder killing all of his kids. Just like y’know in case you wanted some inspiration maybe. Yeah

The 2k3 Ratdad Supercut: featuring every time a turtle refers to Splinter as their father in seasons 1-5.

it's not that he needs clothes it's that he deserves them.

Shh, it's okay, you can relax and take a break. Splinter will protect you.

I think part of this is that Splinter himself is, on occasion, a little shit. Like yeah he’s wise and old and all but also the moment he got a chance when he was still a rat he fucking attacked Hun, he absolutely ROBS everyone playing poker, he gets into brawls for his kids, he joins in on teasing occasionally, he jokes about how calling first before you visit is an ancient wisdom, and he has such a dry sense of humor that mixes with his life experience and makes him more amused than worried most of the time. Like oh my kids got into trouble you say? Ok chances are they’re gonna be hilarious about it. Good for them.

Tbh? Some of it has to be the rat brain I think. I wonder how much of it was Yoshi, though.

decided that the reason why 2003 splinter can be so laid back at times about the adventures his sons get up to is bc he knows he's unleashed hellions upon the world

TMNT 2003 clips I quote on the daily basis :P

Sorry guys, sorry, I'm just like. Having a moment about 03 Splinter.

You got a rat. Basic, Average Rat. He's been a pet to a few extraordinarily kind humans throughout his short rat life (which, sidebar: can we talk about how the average lifespan of a rat is 2-4 years, meaning everything from Shen discovering Splinter to Yoshi dying took place in less than four years? Holy shit) BUT. He's still A Rat.

And he gets turned suddenly, miraculously, into a sapient, roughly man-sized creature. He's a rat with a GRUDGE, guys! He clearly dislikes Hun and absolutely loathes The Shredder, he wants that man DEAD dead, feudal revenge-plot style.

But here's the thing: he wasn't mutated alone. There's four other creatures with him that have been miraculously Embiggened and granted higher thought, and they are, by all appearances, actually infants. They can barely walk and babble on their own, they're cold, they're hungry, and he knows the humans won't react kindly to him (no one ever reacted kindly to a regular rat, after all, besides Tang Shen). So what does he do? Does he go on his revenge rampage and get even with The Shredder for the death of his beloved master? His only family?

No. That bitch ass motherfucker takes his brand new sapient life and becomes a single dad of four instantaneously. Not only that, but he goes on to treat them as his sons and verbally remind them of this often, clearly treats them with love and respect, and teaches them everything he knows. Literally, he says "this is what I learned from my Master Yoshi, and now I will teach you."

The reason the 03 turtles call him Master and Sensei instead of Father is because that's what he first called Yoshi.
