#a show that started in 2012

[moominvalley-state-of-mind]

Hey anyone else like making cohesive storyline for media that dosnt really need one

Or am I the only one who has like three or four full Google sheets of headcannons and timelines

[deadtiredghost]

Can we make Team Red a thing?

i think they would get along like a house on fire. we need more fanfic of this trio.

^^ how i think they might bond.

[hater-era]

we're about to die (but what if we kissed before we all get shot)

sorry this is so sketchy and there is a goofy marius.

'the final battle' is one of my favourite moments in the show(understatement of the year). there is not a moment more exhilarating than when enjolras gets shot atop the barricade. (credit to actors who try to get shot eight times)

(a bit of a rant in the tags!!)

[heywriters]

you right, you right

Finally watched tmnt 2012 for myself and yeah, the things people criticized about it aren’t nearly as bad as I was expecting. These boys are delightful. Also love how Raph is super straightforward with what he thinks while guarding his heart and Donnie is the opposite; heart on his sleeve but often struggles to voice his thoughts in an assertive manner

WE STAY WINNING Y'ALL, THE '12 SERIES KEEPS BEATING THE ALLEGATIONS

Fr, there are so many things that get taken out of context or purposefully blown out of proportion and it's not even funny😭Some may want to argue that [insert favorite iteration] gets unfairly criticized the most, but I still see people pouring gasoline over the '12 series like it burglarized their home, killed their whole family in cold blood, and emptied their pantry in the same night. Rise and Mutant Mayhem are still relatively fresh to the public eye, but the '12 series is 12 years old, pls let it go omg—

The '12 boys are so delightful, so funny, so loving, so lacking in social skills, and I adore them all. If it weren't for the whole ninja and turtle bit, they'd just be your average gang of siblings who will fling each other around when one of them eats the last slice of pizza, but will always be there to pick each other up off the ground when one of them is in trouble.

Also I love your description of the difference between Raph and Donnie; it's so simple yet it easily tells someone everything they need to know about how they behave.

Raph is the most guarded of them all, but he's also the most honest. He has his issues when it comes to trusting anyone and everyone, but we all know his trust issues aren't just him being antisocial or introverted. He has real concerns about who him or his brothers are befriending and whether or not their so called friends are ready to stab them in the back. Sadly, the one time he decides to not let his trust issues get in the way of befriending someone, it leads to the planet getting eradicated and sends the gang on a months long mission to prevent a repeat of the same tragedy.

And Donnie on the opposite side has no problem opening his heart up to those around him, but he sometimes doesn't know how to go about expressing himself or his thoughts in a healthy manner. Rather than conversing with Splinter or his brothers about his concerns with April never forgiving them for Kirby getting mutated, he vents his frustrations to Timothy and unintentionally gives rise to Mutagen Man obsessing with April and her broken friendship with the turtles.

Heck, specific plots aside, we can clearly observe their juxtaposed behaviors and draw a conclusion from there. Whereas Donnie will work himself up over whatever is worrying him in the moment and agonize over approaching his obstacles properly, Raph will find a straightforward answer to his problems that'll oftentimes either end with him throwing fists or completely ostracizing himself from the problem.

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

I WILL NEVER GET OVER HOW WRONG LEO IS IN THE BEGINING OF PARASITICA. THE PAUSE, "Pretty sure bit I think I'll be-" AND THEN THE FREAKING TWITCH (IT WAS SO COOL. THE ANIMATION FOR THAT SCENE WAS SO COOL.) ITS AJSDVJKSMV ITS SO GOOD. THE WAY HIS EYES KEEP ON GLANCING UP TO THE OTHER TURTLES, AND HOW MUCH HIS EYES MOVE WHILE TALKING TO THEM, A STARK DIFFERENCE TO HOW HE WAS FOCUSING ON THE EGG AND ONLY THE EGG FORMERLY. THE WAY HIS VOICE SOUNDS LIKE LEO, BUT CARRIES A CERTAIN STIFFNESS THAT JUST REEKS OF WRONG. THE WAY HOW HE GOES STRAIGHT TO CHECK ON THE THE EGG, DESPITE NEVER SEEING IT BEFORE. HFBENJSFD ITS SO GOOD. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE'S NOT REALLY 'LEO' AT THAT POINT, BUT ITS STILL SO JARRING. THE WAY HE CALLS ALL OF THEM BY THEIR FULL NAMES AUHHHHHHH!!!! THE ANIMATION IS FUCKING GOLD I SWEAR. THE WAY HIS EYES DIALATE AND THE WAY HE HOLDS HIS HEAD. ALSO HOW IN THE MORNING HIM N RAPH WERE JUST. STANDING THERE. IUKJRBMNFEYJHSMDFI EHEHEHRHEHREHRH I LOVE TMNT SO MUHC.

this is my fav screenshot btw

it is glorious

Loki would make the perfect muse for Cap.

Cap learns that Thor's mischievous brother is a wicked shapeshifter and immediately thinks "so he could shapeshift into any kind of creature? I have to draw him!" And he ends up asking Loki to do a bunch of poses as other people, himself, and animals. Loki pretends to be exhausted by it but is secretly LOVING IT. Someone finally paying attention to him, so much that they'd willingly sit for hours and draw him while displaying his magic! YES PLEASE!

I think Tales of the TMNT's version of Hun is my favorite version of Hun.

[flameo-trashman]

there is nothing funnier to me than to remember every now and then the fact that I created the worst ship in an entire fandom and have left the fandom since, but even after 10 years there are still people actively posting about it and hating on it

[doturtlesdream]

the boys!!! in clothes!!1!!!1!

little rant lol:

first, i went through all seven (7) stages of grief during this

second, oh boy.

so i’d say that this isn’t really an au but it’s definitely something. think the 2012 boys if they were raised very traditionally japanese (like that their first language is japanese and they observe it’s customs or smth). in this they’re very vain and try very very hard to maintain their clothes and makeup. like they take multiple hours to get ready lol. just like splinter gave them their masks and weapons, he also gave them their hair accessories. idk don’t think about it too hard this was an excuse to draw obis.

[h00tzz]

..hiiiiiii

I draw Supernatural now

[antiadvil]

in your 30s and still running a phan twitter account is crazy... i hope dan and phil come to their senses soon

[liah-alt]

SINCE IT WAS HALLOWEEN I DECIDED TO WATCH SOME TMNT

I decided on ep 3 season 3 and THE SCREENSHOTS I TOOK ARE SENDING ME

[o4o41]

One reason Karai ("bad girl") turned out better than April ("good girl") in TMNT 2012 CGI version was

• "Bad girl" Karai had spunk and stood up for herself and was opinionated and initiative. Had more depth and motivation.

Edit: The thing that made her "bad girl" (and that happens in real life) was that she was defiant and went for anything she desired without asking permission or authority. Definitely. Patriarchy-defiant, probably. And devs of 2012 TMNT really noticed this in 2003 TMNT Karai. And besides the patriarchal demand of female behavior and repression, the devs really liked and invested into her more. She was a person, as a result.

• While the "good girl" TMNT 2012 April turned out as a distorted image of a patriarchal idea for what a "good girl" is supposed to be like. A luckluster puppet of the system's ideology for what it is supposed to be or even look like. (Brother Grim pleased the patriarchal system and made their females into harmless, housewife, helpless personnel who were singing happily while getting exploited with housework. Those men didn't care for those portrayal of the 'proper good characters' rather than forcing gendered behaviors into their sexist fairy tales. For example. Female characters and stories suffered as we never really knew about them. They were cutboard cutout.)

Edit: I was watching this tiktok reel before making this post:

To big sister Leo: What has been the most difficult and/or scary/saddest moment you had to go through BUT with Leon?
