Watched the first two 90s movies, and I think it's absolutely adorable that April gave Mikey a panda plushie to use as a pillow 🧡🧡

so me n sibling finished rise rewatch with all the newfound turtle lore after our big tmnt media binge......... many feelings i wanna get out

firstable........ how anyone watched this show and didnt think those were the ninja turtles in purest form i will never understand. like you cannot deny any of these characters being the same characters but with new roles to fill. raph is the protector. mikey is the heart. leo is the strategist. donnie is the brain. it just created a new dynamic, but never strayed very far from what came before

second....... take the ninja turtles and just hammer home a story about generational trauma and healing from it, giving them strength from how much they love and trust each other.... you break my heart wide open i am crying

to me they are the best amalgamation of all the turtles who came before them like: silly and sweet like 87, they have this close familial understanding unconditional love like 03, and this overarching story of bringing a family back together like 12

started this watch of all turtle media because rise on its own felt so good, but having gone back and seen all the other pieces i was missing makes me appreciate what it was doing more, because i felt every other series and movie in this one in spirit, but with the ideals of the modern cartoon saying: hey kids, its okay to ask for help, youre not alone, your feelings matter, and the people around you should support you

and on top of that, obviously the most visually stunning version to date, utilizing years of lessons learned from western cartoons and anime, meshing together in breathtaking action, but also having the most hilariously snappy comedic animation that uses what seem like cheap movements of a frame to make every line of dialogue all the more hysterical, and having these very expressive characters be able to be very subtle in the touching emotional moments.

i genuinely love this show so much and i feel really stupid for not having watched it sooner, and the fact it is the shortest of all the shows that never got the chance to finish its story makes me so sad. but at least what story it did get to tell was beautiful.

actually say what you want about the plethora of interesting Halloween films we've had over the years but the scene in Halloween: Resurrection where Busta Rhymes dresses up as Michael Myers and confuses the fk outta the real Michael so hard that he just turns around and walks away is peak comedy and always will be

[demolitionsoup]

everyone dreams about talking with mcr and they' re so sweet.

i've dreamed about them a couple times in the last month, and both times i couldn't talk with them because i started crying too fucking hard

[stopbeinggaymikey]

The thing is it’s literally just Tom that sends me insane like that. Like everything about it sends me mad.

[worsethan-tremors]

they’re playing a FESTIVAL today, do you even know how weird that feels to see them doing that again?

[stageplaymlp]

Today is my brother’s birthday! But it’s also the birthday of something FAR MORE IMPORTANT!

(Haha! Just kidding! My brother means the world to me!... but so do the turtles-)

Edit: I made bonus art

[yukarisparadise]

in honor of the one month-aversary of seeing my childhood heroes, here’s the best video i took that night of them

MCR taught me how to be a menace, how to keep on keepin on and how to make catholic guilt look cool

i cried, i scrumpt, i was emo. tysm my chemical romance and may death never stop you 🤘🏼❤️💀⛪️

[annarubys]

the one thing that always gets me about mcr isn’t the music itself but the way people respond to it. i hardly ever cry listening to any music even by them but the second i head over to the comments section underneath anything they’ve ever made it’s a guarantee. i’ve never seen that kind of reaction to any form of art and i doubt i ever will again. and literally every fan has that kind of story. idk if i had a point with this i’m just kind of thinking about it
