#tmnt the mutation situation

[truths33k3r4]

I can't believe I've been creating comic dubs for @indieyuugure's comic, " the Mutation Situation " since January- and only NOW I've finally gotten to making fan art for it XD Oyyyee to the veyyy~

Anyways- YES- Please, if you haven't yet, go check out " the Mutation Situation "!! Indie has been doing a fantastic job with writing and drawing for the style and characters of the 2012 series of tmnt. 2012 was actually the first bit of tmnt I ever watched! So seeing Indie not only honoring the series, but also IMPROVING elements- It's amazing to watch. :)

Can't wait to see where your story leads, Indie! :)

3 down.. 3 to go. :)

Long, long post. Mostly me rambling. Have a lovely day :)

I watched 2012 tmnt when I was little so I got used to the vibe that one has, like the darker colors and stuff. So the first time I saw Rottmnt I was like

woah

It’s super colorful, there’s a lot of hyper activity, a lot more jokes, and it’s pretty obvious that it was made for the attention of little kids

so I didn’t watch it. It just didn’t really grab my attention, and I didn’t watch it until I saw a clip of the opening scene in the movie. And then I was like

woah

major character death

so I went ahead and watched the show. And it was amazing, and I loved it, and I’m a huge fan of Rottmnt. Not to mention the fandom (at least here on tumblr) is actually awesome to interact with, everyone is really excited to talk about the show and share headcanons and art and it’s amazing.

I’ve gotten into other fandoms and content through the Rottmnt original content creators too. I’m sure that a lot of people know the Cass apocalyptic series, which was incredibly written and drawn and had me coming back to read it over numerous times. And the comic also led me to read Casserole’s original content, Marble Sky, which is amazing as well by the way.

And the au comics are amazing, too. I read the Mutation Situation, I read Jacob’s Ladder, Two Arms Left, TizSepAu, Villan Leo, Kid Leo, Redline, Swanatello, Gemini Twins, Bloodbath au and a lot more I’m not mentioning.

Rottmnt is a kids show. Same as the Powerpuff Girls, or Paw Patrol, or any other kids show out there. It’s not for everyone. It’s catered to a target audience, which happens to be little kids who’s attention is caught by the bright colors, and hyper activity, and the 2D artstyle. It’s not for everyone, same as every other tmnt iteration, same as all content everywhere. I don’t expect anyone to go out of their way to watch Rottmnt, especially if it doesn’t interest them, and you don’t have to watch the show to interact with the community either. You can enjoy the community without enjoying the show.

You do you. Do whatever makes you feel good. I just hope that everyone’s experience with tmnt, and the tmnt community is as positive as mine is. I saw a post talking about all the reasons the blogger did not enjoy Rottmnt. I read the whole thing. It made sense, I understand why they didn’t like it, and I just disagree. I didn’t pick a fight. I just liked the post and moved on.

Recently I’ve seen a lot of people picking fights over disagreements a tv show made for kids. Not a lot are actually engaged in, which is good, but we really shouldn’t be picking fights at all. Basically, all this to say, you do you. Do what makes you happy. And if you disagree with people, just do that. Disagree. You don’t have to fight, or be rude, or anything. I’m all for debating, as long as it remains respectful.

I’m very aware that I can’t control other people and dictate how they interact with others, but I can suggest that we’re just nice to each other. Please.

Anyways if you read this far, thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

I feel like Casey and April would be pretty used to being bullied. They would at least fit the category for bullying victims pretty well I'd say.

Like Casey because, well... he's Casey. Showing up with bruises, a hockey stick and several absence notes with smushed up make-up to boot, tends to get people talking. He fancies himself a vigilante of the neighborhood- he's THAT hockey kid, of course people are gonna be talking.

April would be a little more complicated. Maybe April’s dad came by to school one day warning April to make sure no aliens or kraang were watching them or something like that and a student caught it. (Like the whole thing with Kirby after his second mutation drove him to almost have a nervous breakdown.) Rumors of her ‘crazy’ dad spread and her fate was cealed.

Or it could even just be because she wants to be a journalist. People think she's a conspiracy nut for pursuing it, (or whatever other unfairly mean stuff teenagers can make up), so now she is THE alien conspiracy freak. Not helped by the revelation of her alien heritage- being called one, or worse- having your dad be called one.

Safe to say, that really doesn't help your self esteem...

Its not really something they talk about with the turtles. Next to their reptilian friends' rumbunctious lifestyle of fighting alien invasions and ninjas every day, their high school one seems pretty normal in comparison. Dull, even. And besides, they're pretty used to it at this point, so why even bring it up when it's so inconcequencial? They're too busy running for their lives every day to really worry about that one guy who tossed a hamsandwitch in your cheek meat.

But then, say, if the turtles were turned human and now they have to try and assimilate to their school for whatever reason - maybe theyre trying to track down an alien or some kraang tech or something, maybe they're just doing it because they want to try school- either way, this is the time for April and Casey to help them survive what's an even worse threat than the Shredder.

High School. DUN DUN DUUUUUN. And when the turtles realize how horrible the other kids have treated their friends…? oh boy oh boy. You can run but you can't hide.

I’m sitting here at 2 in the morning watching some 2012 tmnt cause im anxious and it calms me down but anyway throwback to the time the turtles were playing dodgeball with the krangg communication orb like LEO I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE RESPONSIBLE ONE HOW DID YOU GET SUCKED INTO THIS??

Isn’t that beginning of season 2 Leo?

The trauma hasn’t scarred him yet.

Who’s Timmy? I’ve seen him about you and ugh I’m sorry I can’t remember the. Artist , had used him 😭

You are probably, most definitely thinking about @/pintreevillain!! They have BEEN making amazing, incredible, show-stopping content with Timothy for...I’m honesty not even sure how long.

But the character is actually originally from 2012 TMNT, (Mutagen Man in other iterations)….

I always thought he was kinda endearing, in his own…misplaced doof kind of way, and that maybe with better writing, he and Donnie could’ve been good friends. His story is also horrifically tragic. Being mutated and kept in a vat for most of the series, I always felt so bad for him.

I introduced him about a year ago as Donnie’s childhood friend that Draxum mutates. And even though it appeared that Timothy had been well Nina Tucker’d, I never really wanted to kill him off completely…

Which led to me not being able to wait any longer, and I revealed his teen design in July on Patreon!

And now I can’t stop putting him and Donnie into situations.

a quick little sketch of @indieyuugure 's humanized tmnt boys from their comic the mutation situation! im v exited to see more of it :D (also sorry i didnt get around to doing mikey :( )

The Mutation Situation Comic Dub Part 13

PART 13 of the Mutation Situation Comic Dub is UP!!!! :)

The blend of comedic moments as well as tense were both very fun to record for, but SO difficult to find the right music and fit it in smoothly.. :) I think it turned out well, though!

All credit for the art and comic goes to @indieyuugure, while I lent my voice for the dialogue and edited, as well as sang the theme song in A Cappella. :) Epidemic Sound covered the music, and the.....MANY SOUND EFFECTS. ( Seriously, my poor computer- it hates me right now- XD )

To God be the glory!

It’s strange to get worse of Donnie and April is trying her best to keep and eye on Donnie even though she’s like him after he save her all the time and naw April do the same thing for Donnie too

[mimjandoodlesstuff]

I was left with some thoughts about @indieyuugure's human Donnie

So I drew him :)

Part 2, Leo Part 3, Raph and Mikey

[our-happygirl500-fan]

In a lot of iterations of TMNT Leonardo always seems to have a strong moral compass & the same possibly seems true for Leo in Rise as well as he often seems mindful of the safety of civilians 

Raph: Alright you incredibly, unusually buff book worm! Give us the little guy and you’ll walk out of here with your horns still attached

Leo: Shouldn’t we also stop him from creating crab men?

Leo: I say we revise Raph’s plan to make sure this guy doesn’t get mutated

Leo: Hey April, cool if you don’t, but do you still have that Orb with all the people of New York in it?

Leo has often expressed concern for the wellbeing of strangers throughout the series, when April & the Turtles first encountered Draxum it was Leo who said that they should stop Draxum from mutating people & Leo later actively tries to stop the soon to be Bull Hop from getting mutated in Bug Busters.

In the episode Anatawa Hitorijanai, Leo is also the one that expresses concern over the fate of the people of New York even though the family already has a lot to deal with, with the Shredder.

However in contrast to how Leo is arguably one of the most mindful of the safety of strangers he also seems as though he’s arguably the most unsympathetic towards villains when compared to the rest of his family

Mikey: We haven’t found the armour and we can’t leave him to get eaten

Leo: Oh great, we get to save the guy who once repoed a birthday cake

April: We’ve gotta help him get his friend/ roomie/ it’s complicated back from Baron Draxum! It’s my Birthday Wish!

Leo: You’re invoking B-Day right on him!

Donnie: Ah a moral quandary, do we give the antidote to the villain or-

Leo: Poison? Antidote? Everything he makes is delicious! 

While Leo is often concerned with the safety of strangers whenever one of the Turtle’s villains are in need of help, Leo typically seems as though he’s the one most opposed to the idea of helping one of their enemies which can be seen when Leo was reluctant to save Repo in the episode One Man’s Junk or when he expressed disbelief over April wanting to help Warren save Hypno in the episode Warren and Hypno, Sitting in a Tree.

In the episode Pizza Puffs Leo also demonstrated his reluctance to help villains when he decided to use the remaining antidote to eat more pizza puffs over giving the last of the antidote to Meat Sweats 

At first glance it would seem as though Leo has some sort of ‘black & white’ view on morality where he prioritises the safety of ‘innocent people’ but is unsympathetic towards enemies or evil doers however it’s shown that Leo is not always against helping former enemies.

Leo: You can’t just kick out your untrustworthy criminal brother, he’s family. So whaddya need skin man?

In the episode The Hidden City Job Leo is the one that pushes Señor Hueso to help Capitán Piel even though the last time they saw each other, Leo was actively fighting Piel’s pirate crew, Leo wanting to help Piel seems to go against the idea that Leo is unsympathetic towards enemies which leads to the question on what makes the situation with Piel different than the other situations where one of the Turtles enemies have needed help?

Leo: Wait! I know a brother squabble when I see one and there’s no one better to un-squabble you than moi

Señor Hueso: Aren’t you here because you had a fight with your brother?

The first reason that Leo might be more sympathetic to Piel than he is with other villains is because Piel needed help mending his relationship with his brother Señor Hueso. 

It’s been shown time & time that family is incredibly important to Leo so it could be possible that Leo simply cannot stand the idea of family fighting which made him more inclined to help Piel, it’s also worth noting that during the episode The Hidden City Job, Leo had recently gotten into an argument with Donnie, so Leo might be projecting his argument with his own brother onto Piel & Hueso.

Leo: I freed you from your pirate prison. Your welcome.

Raph: Pirate prison?

Mikey: You portalled us to Tahiti!

The second reason on why Leo might have been more sympathetic towards helping Piel than he is with other villains is that Piel had never actively tried to harm Leo’s brothers.

In the episode Portal Jacked the reason Leo was fighting Capitán Piel’s crew in the first place was that Leo had thought that the pirates had kidnapped his brothers which turned out not to be the case as instead Raph, Donnie & Mikey had been in Tahiti during the events of the episode meaning it’s possible that Leo doesn’t hold the same animosity towards Piel that he would with other villains as Piel hasn’t gone out of his way to bring harm to Leo’s family the way other villains have

So rather than Leo having some sort of ‘black & white’ view on morality where he prioritises the safety of ‘innocent people’ but is unsympathetic towards enemies or evil doers it’s more likely that Leo has the mindset where he wants to protect people but is unsympathetic towards those that have tried to harm his family.
