The slight confusion and humor on which versions of the turtles can actually fully retract into their shells.

Not very original I know, but it's just the disconnect between what realistically happens with the turtles, and how the official animators/artists behind the TMNT handles this idea.

We know that the 12, 14, and Rise can fully/mostly/partially retract into their shells, but the 87, 03, and tottmnt can't and I don't think it's brought up in the comics, maybe.

I haven't seen every version, like the 90s live action series/movies, but still.

The fact that it really does make much sense with Rise, given that Donnie and Raphs species don't have the right kind/size shell to retract into, yet they have sceens where they pop into their shells.

The Bayverse turtles can pop into their shells, even if it doesn't really look that great. Though the only one shown was Raph in the second movie as far as I remember, and it was only his arms and head.

Looking back the 12 turtles only worked because they claimed to possibly be Box Turtles, and the 3D animation.

The overall humor is just the idea of the versions who can't pull into their shells being confused by those who can, and how ridiculous it looks. Like one of them pulling a prank of setting off a blast of some sort and visibly leaving just their shell behind.

Any ideas, or things you want to add on are welcome. Because again I know this is a pretty common discussion with TMNT, but I still like hearing others ideas.

It’s so heartbreaking to see Bumblebee, when he finally wakes up, sit in the corner of the Watsons’ garage and basically huddle up and cower. He’s scared, in a new place, and unable to remember anything, let alone speak. It’s also refreshing to see a cybertronian afraid of humans, too, instead of the other way around. But it’s also so heartbreaking, I love it.

DO YOU KNOW THIS CHARACTER?

[absolutebl]

Hiii, I'm glad the ask box is open!

Idk if you already did a rec list on this, but can you recommend me old bls, like 90/2000s? I watched Seven days movies and its really good

Oh yay! Seven Days is the best. Actually, I have never done this. Here's a list of...

10+ BL's rated 7/10 or higher that aired prior to 2018

Just Friends?

Korea 2009 Gaga

This is Korea's first (kinda) upbeat version of a BL featuring already established boyfriends, one of whom is on military leave, trying to decide on coming out, family life, and the future. All of these are themes Korea will pretty much never tackle again, retreating as they would to their bubble. But what a fun little offering this little show was and is to this day. You should watch it.

Love Sick & Love Sick 2

Thai 2014 YouTube

This is one of those BLs that owes almost nothing to yaoi, although it started a number of tropes that are now endemic to Thai BL. What it is, instead, is a well scripted story of bisexual self-discovery and the inherent chaos of loving someone of the same gender for the first time, all wrapped up in hormones, existing relationships, and communication issues. It is high school queer angst at its messiest. Nothing is going to be easy for these boys because queer isn’t easy but also because life isn’t easy… welcome to adulthood sweethearts.

I'm actually considering a rewatch of these beginning of 2024 in honor of the 10 year anniversary if anyone wants to join.

Seven Days

Japan 2015 grey

The asker already mentioned it but still, never doubt my ability to recommend this show. One of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.

Addicted: Heroin

China 2016 Viki

When Chinese BL was good it was very dirty good and when it was bad it was censored. This is the model for that statement: rich kid falls madly for the genius poor kid in his class, starts an aggressive pursuit, includes kidnapping for love, obsession, stepbrother trope, plus some cheating. I love this BL because of what I could have been. Just stop watching it after The Sex Scene. Okay?

SOTUS & SOTUS S & SOTUS Our Skyy

Thai 2016 YouTube

This is the BL that launched a hundred BLs. No literally, it was SOTUS’s international success that pretty much built the Thai BL industry into the juggernaut it is today. People have baggage around SOTUS, I have nostalgia. Trigger warning on bully hazing. Review and discussion here.

Make it Right 1 & 2 (but not Beach)

Thai 2016 YouTube (Cheewin warning)

What to say about this show, the origin of the Thai BL pulps? It’s objectively terrible, and not just the leads but the side couple too - yet I love it. I tend to call myself the “world’s foremost Make It Right apologist.” I recognize the issues but I find it utterly charming, especially Tee’s utter devotion to Fuse the baby bi disaster.

Long Time No See

Korea 2017 Gaga

Catfishing assassins on either side of a turf war who fall in love not knowing they are on opposite sides. Or do they? Good fight sequences, mature characters, high heat, very suspenseful, AND an HEA. If you like KinnPorsche or Kiseki you will LOVE this one.

HIStory Obsessed

Taiwan 2017 Viki

I weirdly love this but you should know what you are in for: that title. It has a stalking theme meets fated mates and quite a bit of dubious consent. Uke obsessed with seme to the point of losing himself and his identity dies after being rejected, and then has a chance to reboot his life. He decides to save himself by never falling in love. But destiny is a bitch, and this time the seme becomes obsessed with him. This one owes a lot to dark Chinese and Japanese BL, but kind of corrects for the expected sad dead finale by ending happily and playing with a ton of BL tropes. The leads have good chemistry, it's higher heat and the first time Taiwan starts to push that, and VERY DRAMATIC.

Some Others you might consider

Candy and Kiss - Japan 2015

Silhouette of Your Voice (Hidamari ga Kikoeru) - Japan 2017

Red Balloon - Taiwan 2017

Gintama 2 (2018)

[ivyithink]

mmmmmmmm, yes, watched “bungo stray dogs: beast live action” recently and WOW, they did just tell the most tragic goddamn love story like it’s okay and normal and allowed??? no amount of bad cgi is gonna help you cover up the undeniable queerness that was going on, movie, nuh-uh, not gonna work on me, I’ve seen stuff like this before!

translation! text from the 1st pic (from Ukrainian to, well, English, obv) :

oda’s asking “what have you done already?” and the text on the right says “find yourself someone who will look at you like etc.”

LOVE LIKE GHOSTS || ICHIGO X RUKIA [ICHIRUKI]

[britt-kageryuu]

So how would any Donatello react to encountering the Transformers (preferably the Autobots)? Well any of the Turtles would be freaking out, but who wouldn't?

And how would the Transformers react to a purple coded turtle asking if they may attempt to dismantle one of them, among many other mechanical related questions?

Not to mention if an OC Transformer (or preexisting one) wanted to use one of the Turtle Vehicles as its disguised form? Though that would lead to many more questions.

Would their be any interesting friendships between characters?

Not to mention once you get the various humans, and Splinter involved in anything that happens.

Though that brings up the question of is the Decepticons are working with the Foot, Kraang/Krang, Stockman, ect. Or if the Decepticons are after something the Turtles Enemies have. Because I more believe Megatron would rather kill them than work with them.

I honestly don't remember if I already made a post like this, but if I did, well maybe people will have newer ideas to share on their thoughts of this.

Poor Bumblebee—having to go from meeting Charlie in the 80s and then twenty years later being partnered up with Sam? Someone better put him up for a suicide watch.
