Dawg you gotta rate these, found them on Etsy for 29.95 [ Haven't got em yet but I'm getting them before my my sister's wedding >:] ] [ I'll drop the link if you wanna btw ]

Oh, these look neat!

What rating system are we talking about? /j

Mine are silver & have metal & glass parts. Just like this one, actually! And the purple, my heart is happy.

I am a silver person, though.

(Pure metal would have been too heavy to wear in addition to my headphones).

I'd gladly check those out, too!

My rating from just the picture & my assumptions: 4/5 ✨️

Pardon me for my human disguise, I was... undercover.

I do have these zooming lenses, but I usually don't need them. My built-in tech is more accurate anyway. So I have not attached them. Yes, I know, this is a minus for style. SIGH.

Funfact: I have green & yellow lenses as well!

Get those googles! ⚙️🔩🪛

I did the meme. The world is not ready for them

✨The Fashionista✨

Rise Ramblings #234

While watching “The Clothes Don’t Make The Turtle,” I noticed something.

I found it interesting that Raph, Mikey, and Leo were content with Raph’s outfit choice until Donnie stated that he wasn’t “in love with it, ya’ know.”

Suddenly, Raph declares “I’m a disaster!” Albeit ridiculously endearing, it was a little strange to see his sudden shift from moderately content to absolute dissatisfaction. Huh…

Then, the disaster twins decide to help him out.

Take a note of their outfit choices.

Raph tries on all of these fits and more.

Donnie’s first choice is a mild “no.” Leo’s choice is a hard “NO.” (Not surprising, lol.) But then, the overwhelming consensus lands on Raph’s fourth outfit, which ended up being Donatello’s other pick for his brother.

So, in summary, Raph tried on his personal choice for an outfit, of which they rejected. Then, ultimately, Donatello picked out an outfit for his brother, and that pick ended up being perfect. Hmm…

Then I noticed something else. In this episode, we never get a Donnie “curtain reveal” moment, to our disdain. I mean, Raph, Leo, and Mikey got to try on several different outfits in order to get their brothers' opinions before landing on that “perfect outfit, you know the one.” All of his brothers got to shine. Why not DonTron?

Then it hit me.

The try-ons were to get their brothers' opinions and approval. And, for his brothers' choices, he was a major contributor in assisting them in pulling their looks together.

What if, bear with me, Donnie didn’t need the "curtain scene" because he was so confident in his fashion sense that he didn’t need to ask his brothers for help to pick out a great look.

…or they figured out how to break Hypno’s spell before he could get a “curtain reveal.” BUT STILL-

Look at his outfit choices in this episode. Some of his wardrobe changes were off-screen, but all of them were fire.

(I added the baseball cap pic because it makes me happy. I wish we'd seen more of that fit.)

To me, he makes some really smart choices for himself, pushing the envelope of what is expected and taking chances: an open collar with no tie for a “black tie” event, a beanie and spiked wristbands for their “gansta look,” no socks with loafers (a viral fashion trend that actually began in Africa) with old man slacks in his reclined pose. *muah* Chef’s kiss!

But Don’s fashion sense doesn’t just shine in this episode.

In “Reparin’ the Baron” the boys go to Draxum’s apartment. Leo and Donnie show up in some extra nice “Sunday Dinner” twin drip.

The gold is in the details. Everything Leo is wearing, Donnie rocks its compliment: for Leo’s round collar, Donnie’s is angled, for Leo’s blue shirt, Donnie’s is white, For Leo’s light slacks, Donnie’s are dark. Blah blah blah. It’s so good!

Look at the winter fit in Snow Day.

Again, Donnie is Leo’s perfect compliment. As a pair? Fire.

Donnie has “the eye.” I can go on and on with examples, but I’ve said all of that to say this…

In the future, we see that Donatello’s technology had major pull in the resistance. He had drone ships patrolling the skies. He built and designed Leo’s arm, Casey’s chainsaw-hockey stick, and Casey's mask. The list goes on…

But, when Donatello from the past see’s Casey’s clothing from the future, he says this:

We know about the “Genius Built” brand. We’ve seen that logo on all of his tech up to this point. But, here he didn’t just say “Genius Built.” He said, “Genius Built Apparel.”

“Apparel” is not a tech brand. “Apparel” is a fashion brand. Of course, tech is incorporated into the clothing, but still.

This means that past Donatello secured this trademark with plans of creating a fashion brand, comparable to the likes of Gucci, Ralph Lauren, or any other modern clothing brand, as a subsidiary of “Genius Built,” the tech company.

And why not? The evidence has been in front of us this entire time. He has a sharp eye for style, fashion, and trends. It is easily canon that he can sew. Splinter sewed their ninja garbs in “Insane in the Mama Train,” and there is a sewing machine in the house.

They already learned Ninjutsu through basically osmosis, so learning to sew is not too far-fetched.

And here it is, right in front of us, Casey’s entire ensemble, from mask, to weapons, to clothing, was made by Donatello in the middle of the apocalypse under the brand name “Genius Built Apparel.”

And that was just in the bad future. Resources were limited, they didn’t have access to much of anything in that broken world as they were survivors of a devastating Krang invasion. Yet, he created all of this.

However, now that they’ve changed the future, his future as a fashion designer is limitless. Think of what Donatello could produce with unlimited resources, unlimited technology, and unlimited creative freedom.

Tech genius. Clothing designer. Fashionista. Future Genius Built Apparel Owner and CEO. I’m sorry, but I have to call it...

Donatello Hamato of the present, of the bad future, and of the good future is a fashion icon, the likes of which the world has never seen. ○○○○

Update: I've decided to make this concept into a mini-comic series!

[beannary]

do NOT tell me that the design i made for the new oozesquito catcher would not work I was so in the trenches trying to figure out how it was going to look and this is just what we are going with

This is part 42 of The Little Prince Separated AU

[baskeigh-ball]

Hey I just want to say that I love your Mind Swap AU, and I have a question, does April know or do the guys hide it from her?

aaa ty! i'm glad you're enjoying it :D

And yes, they definitely try to hide it at first, just to avoid the "you're all idiots, how did you even manage to end up in this situation" lecture that would surely follow. Which they succeed at!

...for about fifteen seconds, anyway.

[wormspoodle]

i think rise donnie would try to make the other donnies more like him if they met idk

[kasumingo]

A lot of older TMNT fans dislike the ROTTMNT designs for making the brothers barely look like turtles but actually I enjoy them looking mostly humanoid

They resemble the person they were mutated with a lot, they look like new species entirely and they went into drastically different direction with sharp, pointy dynamic lines, rather than huge round blobified shapes the other series were going for

Plus the designs and thought process behind each of them are amazing

Like, I could rant about Donnie's design quirks for ages

Peepaws do some tech talk

One of the earliest examples of Leo’s “I’ll do my own thing to accomplish our goal without discussing it with my team first” is in episode one. It’s super, super quick, and ultimately inconsequential, but it subtly sets up a great precedent that I think is very interesting.

When the boys need to grab the medallion from Splinter without Splinter noticing, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie huddle together with Raph taking the lead in trying to devise a plan to get the mystic device. Meanwhile, Leo slinks away and grabs the device by clocking the situation (by knowing his father well enough to predict his actions - something he does with each family member multiple times in the series) and making a move on his own.

It works out perfectly fine, and is ultimately the best move, and it’s honestly okay that he didn’t consult everyone for something so small when it’s such a non issue to get it, but it nicely sets up how this tends to go in the series, including how it goes in the movie.

To be honest episode one is actually really good at setting up a lot of things for each character in the long run, this is just one example that caught my attention, as small and unassuming as it is.

[captaincolorblob]

Everyday i think about this screenboard scene that got semi-scrapped from Donnie vs Witch Town, like it just explains so much about Donnie as a character and i’m very sad we didnt get to see it entirely

Ok I’ve always been curious about how in the fresh heck you got all of those different functions and mechanisms to fit in your tech bō. Like- I feel like the insides of that thing are like the freaking Tardis with how much it can do with the press of a button!-

(This is a not-so-subtle request for you to rant about your tech bō)

-A Curious Anon

Ahhhh, my beloved Tech-Bō!

Crafted of nothing minor than high-grade titanium, which I figuratively sold my soul for.

As you should know, it runs on battery, so if it has no energy, it doesn't work, and it's nothing more than a mere titanium stick.

But oh, the precious wonders it posseses when it has got energy!

Here is a list of my favourite functions:

Grappling Hook

Dual Rockets

Tranquilizer Dart Gun

Multidimensional Reflective Orb Neutralizer

Mystic Energy Reader

Holographic Map System

Turtle Tank Tracker

The precious Selfie Stick

How does it all work, you ask?

A genius shouldn't reveal all his secrets, should he? But I think I can let you in on some secrets since you asked so nicely. Feel honored.

It actually has something to do with Superstring Theory ! 👀

✨️GASP! SHOCK! DISBELIEF!✨️

FYI: Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles & fundamental forces of nature in one theory by defining them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings.

These interacting strings explain the four fundamental forces of nature—the force of gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force as a unified theory of everything.

Which is utter perfection.

One central idea of String Theory is that there are additional spatial dimensions; at least six, which go undetected because they are tightly compactified into a complex folded shape called a Calabi-Yau Manifold.

FYI: Essentially, Calabi–Yau Manifolds are shapes that satisfy the requirement of space for the six "unseen" spatial dimensions, which may be smaller than our currently observable lengths as they have not yet been detected. Well, the humans haven't.

I will add a visual of it at the end of my essay.

Back to our cool dimensions - if you're smart enough, you already have made the connection:

Yes, I use these small-scaled dimensions to store my Tech-Bõ's superior qualities in them.

All I have to do is press the button & twist the weapon - et voilà!

Additional information, if you want:

What is this Manifold?

A manifold is a type of geometrical space where each small region looks like normal Euclidean space: an ant on the surface of the Earth sees its world as flat, rather than the curved surface of the sphere.

Calabi-Yau manifolds are complex manifolds; they can be disassembled into patches that look like flat complex space.

What makes them so special is that these patches can only be joined together by the complex analogue of a rotation. The only particularly nice (compact) solution to this condition in one complex dimension (=2 real dimensions) is a torus, but things get much more interesting in higher dimensions, as seen here:

There you have it. If you read so far - congrats! Have a...

Errr...

Cookie?

Mikey would reward Nardo with a cookie.

I enjoy answering these questions a lot. ( ☆∀☆)

[twiyke]

tummytello looking kind of funny there

[tangledinink]

We’ve seen a Leo visit and a Mikey visit; can we see a Raph visit?

They bring him stuff all the time! When he's able to, he'll request certain things or tools from them or ask them to do research to him. Which can sometimes be, like... a lot. But honestly, none of his brothers even mind, because it's times like these when he's acting the most like himself and has the most clarity. Which is so much better than when he's confused and upset and doesn't understand what's going on...

[risestarkiss]

So, with my time on Tumblr I've noticed something interesting...

✨The Fashionista✨ is my most popular post.

And I understand why. I, too, relish in the idea of Donatello growing up to be the High Fashion Icon and Genius Built Apparel Owner/CEO we all know he can be! So, what if I told you that someone has decided to make a comic of that very idea...

And that someone is me. 💜

Why? Because he's Got The Goods. Coming this Spring...only @RiseStarKissOmega

[woweeohwow]

It took me way too long to realize but I cannot tell you how devastated I was when I found out Donnie had a normal Bo-Staff in the movie

Like imagine how upset S1 Donnie would be

[kasumingo]

This was too cool not to gif
