WAIT WAIT-

In American Sign Language, communication isn’t just about how you move your hands. Your facial expressions are vital to accurately relaying your intended message. And not just “oh be expressive for tone” I mean literally there are standardized rules for how to move your face and in what context. The signs for “big” and “little” are practically meaningless without the appropriate mouth-shape, “ice cream you like?” is no longer a question and therefore means something completely different if you aren’t raising your eyebrows, etc.

So it literally JUST occurred to me Donnie’s motivation for drawing eyebrows on his mask could be completely for practical reasons considering he canonically has at least a basic understanding of asl.

The Warm Color Duo!!!

(+ Casey)

Raph and Mikey were running errands in the streets of Hidden City when they saw each other. (I thought I’d be funny if they met by accident and weren’t even looking for each other lol), and they are super shocked to seen another turtle bc turtle yokai went extinct a while ago and there’s no more turtle yokai

Mikey is less shocked, and more hyped because Drax told him that he made brothers, while Raph was completely clueless and thought he was the only turtle yokai left lol

Raph wears the Mystic robes bc he’s a good and polite boy who is learning how to wield mystic powers. Mikey is always wearing some dapper human clothes cause u know damn well he’s taking advantage of Big Mama’s money.

Also their rich bois, unlike their brother who are living in the sewers LMAO

Here’s my design of younger Cass as a gift!

I forgot to finish writing 😭but what I was going to say that is that she ends up getting a root canal/a fake tooth to fill in the gap, (the gap is totally inspired by 2012 Casey btw)

Here’s a link to the first post!

And to the Disaster Twins Post!

Or look for the “How I met Our Brothers” Tag on my tumblr!!

Ok look I adore redeemed Draxum in Rise but I just hate how he got there.

What I’m saying is that the execution for his redemp could’ve been done so much better than what we’ve got cause it really rubs me the wrong way how Mikey willingly said to his dad, who we’ve seen has a history of hating his mutation, to, for lack of better words,

‘please he’s better now and I want both dads in my life’

Like. It give me the vibe of ‘yeah he kidnapped you and damn near tortured alongside mutating you and us but come onnnnn’ and I just.

I would’ve liked it if there had been MUCH more back and forth, especially with Mikey and his brothers. I get that the show was cut and ending rushed but eesh man.

"The Candle"

Leo: "Look what I found in Dee's lab! A candle!

Me: "Oh?"

Leo: *lights the candle*

Leo: "Cool, huh? Almost like a sparkler, but BETTER."

Me: "Are ya sure that's a candle? What's written on it?"

Leo: *reads aloud* "Dye-Ni-Mite. Sounds Italian."

Me: *grabs the candle & throws it away*

Me: "Not a candle."

[donniesexceptionalmind]

"Ice Cream"

Mikey: "If you could be an ice cream flavor, what would you guys be? I'd be cookie!"

Me: *without thinking* "Vanilla."

Leo: "Vanilla? You basic b*tch! I'd be pistachio!"

Me: *chuckles* "Because no one likes you?"

Mikey: O_O;

Raph: *starts laughing*

Leo: "Wha-"

Me: "No one likes pistachio, beloved twin."

Mikey: *trying to avoid more conflict* "I DO like pistachio. What about you, Raph?"

Raph: "Seventy percent cacao dark chocolate with chili in it. Sweet but spicy."

Mikey: "Huh."

Leo: "Oddly specific."

Me: "Sweet? More like bitter AND spicy?

Leo: *giggles*

[biceratops7]

The whole “just like we told you not to eat our Halloween candy?” thing gets a lot sadder when you realize Halloween was probably the one time they could go play with other people their age and feel like normal kids 🫠

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS

bilingual tmnt 2012 and rotmnt head cannons!!

Ok so I’m Mexican American (ew america) and my mom was born and raised in Mexico

Yet I’m not bilingual

I’m taking Spanish class in my high school

This is what I think the rottmnt kids are going thru

My mother had to assimilate to get a job here. And I think that’s what rottmnt Yoshi had to do too.

But my mother refused to make my first language spanish, she wanted my life here to be easier.

I think Yoshi didn't want to be reminded of what he left behind.

He used his ninjitsu skills to become a movie star and actively runs away from his heritage from the show.

Not that he doesn't want to be Japanese, or that he wants to forget that part of himself, but he wanted to branch out and be Lou Jitsu, and japanese tradition and culture are not as important to him and his identity as 2012 Splinter.

He ran away from tradition.

I firmly hc that the rottmnt turtle know japanese in the way I know spanish; nothing beside the scoldings and the frustrated mumbling of their father.

"Kuso!" Their dad will yell as he stubs his foot.

"Konoyarou," He mumbles as he talks about a person who screamed at the sight of him.

"No Blue! Aho! Don't eat random stuff off the floor!"

I hc that rottmnt Splinter has a potty mouth, and because of the all his kids know is how to curse and scold someone in japanese, which you know, they use to insult each other.

The rottmnt kids have to go out of their way to learn japanese, it's an underlying language in their home and a part of their heritage, but they live like third generation immigrants.

As opposed to the 2012 turtles, whose first language was most definitely japanese.

2012 Splinter grew up, fell in love, and lived in Japan for the majority of his life. He loved his heritage and tradition, the only reason he moved to New York was because he was literally running for his life. It was chance that he ended up in America.

In Japanese schools, much like many other schools in different countries, have a class that teaches english bc ya know, it's the national language bc british and american ppl be pissbabies. So Splinter learned english, and like the good student he was, was good at it.

That why for he lived there he could live comfortably and could talk to others (like the pet shop owner), bc he already knew english.

Then he got mutated and four sons lmao.

So he raised them the way he was raised; traditionally japanese. The language, the tradition, the customs, everything.

So all the tmnt teetles are fluent in japanese, and a part of the reason they were not allowed topside before they were 15 is because they weren't done learning english yet.

They often forget words in english, and in the heat of the moment, it's the first language that comes up.

Raph and Mikey's english slang comes from the comics they've read and the movies they watched.

Leo's english mimics basic english textbooks and Captain Ryan's

Donnie sounds like an encyclopedia bc that's where he gets most of his vocabulary from.

TLDR: The rottmnt turtles only know insults and curse words in japanese while the 2012 turtles are bilingual; fluent in both Japanese and English because of the way their respective Splinters raised them.
