Maybe someone’s already said this but this promo picture of Crozier reminds me so much of the posters for Jacob’s Ladder.. and considering there’s a whole episode called “The Ladder” where Crozier reads the verse about Jacob’s Ladder(a version that specifically emphasizes the “other world”) at John Franklin’s funeral, maybe it’s not a coincidence?

Long, long post. Mostly me rambling. Have a lovely day :)
I watched 2012 tmnt when I was little so I got used to the vibe that one has, like the darker colors and stuff. So the first time I saw Rottmnt I was like
woah
It’s super colorful, there’s a lot of hyper activity, a lot more jokes, and it’s pretty obvious that it was made for the attention of little kids
so I didn’t watch it. It just didn’t really grab my attention, and I didn’t watch it until I saw a clip of the opening scene in the movie. And then I was like
woah
major character death
so I went ahead and watched the show. And it was amazing, and I loved it, and I’m a huge fan of Rottmnt. Not to mention the fandom (at least here on tumblr) is actually awesome to interact with, everyone is really excited to talk about the show and share headcanons and art and it’s amazing.
I’ve gotten into other fandoms and content through the Rottmnt original content creators too. I’m sure that a lot of people know the Cass apocalyptic series, which was incredibly written and drawn and had me coming back to read it over numerous times. And the comic also led me to read Casserole’s original content, Marble Sky, which is amazing as well by the way.
And the au comics are amazing, too. I read the Mutation Situation, I read Jacob’s Ladder, Two Arms Left, TizSepAu, Villan Leo, Kid Leo, Redline, Swanatello, Gemini Twins, Bloodbath au and a lot more I’m not mentioning.
Rottmnt is a kids show. Same as the Powerpuff Girls, or Paw Patrol, or any other kids show out there. It’s not for everyone. It’s catered to a target audience, which happens to be little kids who’s attention is caught by the bright colors, and hyper activity, and the 2D artstyle. It’s not for everyone, same as every other tmnt iteration, same as all content everywhere. I don’t expect anyone to go out of their way to watch Rottmnt, especially if it doesn’t interest them, and you don’t have to watch the show to interact with the community either. You can enjoy the community without enjoying the show.
You do you. Do whatever makes you feel good. I just hope that everyone’s experience with tmnt, and the tmnt community is as positive as mine is. I saw a post talking about all the reasons the blogger did not enjoy Rottmnt. I read the whole thing. It made sense, I understand why they didn’t like it, and I just disagree. I didn’t pick a fight. I just liked the post and moved on.
Recently I’ve seen a lot of people picking fights over disagreements a tv show made for kids. Not a lot are actually engaged in, which is good, but we really shouldn’t be picking fights at all. Basically, all this to say, you do you. Do what makes you happy. And if you disagree with people, just do that. Disagree. You don’t have to fight, or be rude, or anything. I’m all for debating, as long as it remains respectful.
I’m very aware that I can’t control other people and dictate how they interact with others, but I can suggest that we’re just nice to each other. Please.
Anyways if you read this far, thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Drinks at 8
We all float about
Like the Scottish weather
To don this human veil of authority
Is a burden beyond ability
Like meeting for drinks at 8
Before my mind goes about it’s appointed rounds
Sweeping up the night
My heart is somewhere in the salt marshes of my soul
And my anger is slithering silently across the fertile ground
Waiting to strike
I see ancient smoke rising from a clearing in Carolina
Silver waves crashing in on pristine shores
Words in the ether
Emotions in your tether
Meeting for drinks at 8
I think I will leave it right here
And let all the belles slip back into the shadows of Hellhole Swamp
Amongst the musket balls and arrowheads of my youth
Tonight I’ll sleep alone
And wrestle with Jacob’s ghost
And dream of Valhalla ….
….Drinks at 8

“But you gave away the things you loved,
And one of them was me
I had a dream…
There were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee… “- Carly Simon
