Finally put together all my rottmnt oc doodles.
Tony’s a yellow-footed tortoise (also known as the Brazilian Giant Tortoise) and he would be around Mikey’s age. He knows about the turtles since he would hear Draxum talk about his early experiments and how he should have turned out were it not for the lack of ooze and DNA.
Tony only gets to meet his brothers in “The Evil League of Mutants” episode. He’s completely lost after Draxum, Huggin and Muggin disappear without a trace. He decides the best shot he has of finding clues is Big Mama, but without Draxum around she becomes bolder and tries to imprison Tony so he can become the Battle Nexus champion.
He manages to escape, but passes out in an alley due to his injuries and exhaustion. The boys find him and take him to the lair.
Antonio names himself after Antônio Francisco Lisboa a Brazilian sculptor who continued to sculpt even after the loss of his arms and legs.

actually i think it's interesting that practically everyone's interpretation of valentino is that he has severe substance abuse issues & is high 50% of the time, when in the show he's shown disparagingly talking about addicts in a way that implies he doesn't see himself as one. and i'm not using "interesting" as a substitute for "oh boy do i fucking hate this" i just genuinely think it's fascinating. the juxtaposition of him looking down on addicts while refusing to acknowledge his own substance abuse problems is direly under explored and it's like, Right There. it's prime character study material

it's a chicken-or-egg kind of conflict, built on unreasonable expectations and toxic desire.
sam and dean choose to be codependent in 1.22 devil's trap: they both make grandiose statements that communicate their devotion to each other. but then, between 2.02 everybody loves a clown and around 2.04 children shouldn't play with dead things, sam starts talking about honoring their dad and trying to do right by him. he's guilty that john died before they could actually have a good relationship; he's just started to forgive him for their upbringing, and now he's gone and the way he copes with that is by trying to follow in john's footsteps, as if to prove that he's fine now with the life he's given them.
but john just sold his soul for dean and told dean that he might have to kill his brother—dean has come to perceive john as an enemy. john is asking dean to do the impossible, and on top of that he's left dean without anyone to guide him and tell him how to act. and so dean has cast john out in favor of entering a codependent unit with sam. sam is now all dean has left, physically and emotionally, and sam just declared his devotion to dean in no uncertain terms, chose him definitively, and so sam is therefore agreeing to fill in all of the holes john left behind so that dean can feel whole again.
but here sam is "allying" himself with john.
and sam obviously isn't intentionally trying to hurt dean; he's having a normal response to death. but sam's loyalty to dean and john can't coexist in dean's eyes, and that means sam is reneging on his commitment to dean, even though sam absolutely did not do that. and so dean he keeps to himself and refuses to open up about the truth because he can't trust sam to side with him, afraid of rejection or admonishment (which he receives anyway across the beginning of season 2, reinforcing those fears). he's angry and he feels alone because sam "chose" john when dean needed him most.
and as a result, because sam is of course still trying to be codependent with dean, dean's refusal to open up and be honest with him is equally seen as a betrayal of their commitment. to sam, honoring john is not in conflict with being codependent with dean. yet for some reason, dean won't even talk to him. he expects complete and open honesty from dean with their new dynamic—secrets are no longer acceptable because they're supposed to be on the same page, always—and he's not getting it, and it hurts. all he can see is betrayal.
of course sam is going to mourn his father after he's worked so hard to forgive him. of course dean is going to get frustrated at having no one to share his grief and anger with. of course sam is going to be hurt by dean's rejection. of course they're going to be upset at each other's betrayal of a profound commitment. it's a lot of reasonable reactions to unreasonable expectations, irrational perceptions, and half-truths that distort and warp their realities into something toxic and unmanageable. it's all about those subtle moments which unknowingly communicate betrayal of an undernegotiated relationship, all amplified by the heightened tension of grief and loss.
and around and around it goes.

I do be laughing at the head cannons that are all about Crowley being depressed and drinking holy water etc next season
Like have you met her?? The her that made being a tortured soul unjustly cast down to hell a fashion accessory??
I have my own head cannon for S3 Crowley and it’s called girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight.
Let me explain:
Girlboss: He’s gonna turn up what we’ve seen so far to 11. We’re gonna get fashion, we’re gonna get sauve, we’re gonna get sarcastic, we’re gonna get hyper independent I-don’t-need-you bitch, we gonna see a menace to society (who’s actually very hurt)
Gatekeep: He’s gonna hide those feelings with them sunglasses and that attitude so far down so that no one will ever be able to see them again (they will)
Gaslight: he’s gonna try to convince everyone around him, including Aziraphale, that he meant absolutely nothing by what he said and was lying the whole time because he’s a big scary demon who doesn’t have feelings like that and can’t get hurt (he can and he did)
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
