Some rottmnt movie aftermath angst with a side of disaster twins anyone?
*Never do that again*
...
*I'll try.*
Or: Leo copes with dark humor and Don is not amused. Even a little.
Friends, the ammount of fanart I've wanted to draw since I saw that movie is not even funny. Some of you may know that my creativity is fuled by two things: beauty and angst. In short I was shot full of hyperfuel and promptly given no time to draw.

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.
It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.
Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt splinter#rise leo#rise splinter#rottmnt headcanons#listen - Leo is there for the camp#if a show’s gonna be super broody and stuff he’s not about it he wants the DRAMA.#very similar reasons why he loves Jupiter Jim Lou Jitsu and magicians#glam rock too!#the camp of it all#the way these things can take even heavy topics and make it more lighthearted with the way they go about them#the way each of these puts importance on putting on a show#idk I think it’s very interesting#but yeah - Leo would totally love telenovelas#did you see him apologizing to Todd??? prime telenovela actress apology right there#the long fluttery lashes the hand to the chest the shiny eyes - like it’s all there#someone said that one of the creators said the telenovelas may be canon?#if so then another tick in the box for ‘oh my god Leo is an amazingly well developed character’

time keeps moving on
whether you want it to or not
@remedyturtles absolutely killing it with the latest chapters of their firefight fic. The last third of ch.37 was so fuckin eerie and tense and visually rich that I couldn't NOT make some art inspired by it. I've been hankering to draw something more experimental and dark lately, and this really scratched that itch!
Thanks for The Horrors™, Rem!
#listened to the Anihilation soundtrack while making this and it really enhanced the mood. very off-putting. very cool. 10/10 would recommend#Rem you have such a way with handling characters' relationships with time in your stories that is so distinct and interesting#like it's this physical beast stalking the narrative. sometimes it is quietly lurking and other times it sinks its teeth in and won't let g#tick tock tick tock Leo#firefight au#fic stuff#firefight rottmnt#firefight fic#firefight#rottmnt#rottmnt leo#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rise of the tmnt#save rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#fanfic rec#fanfic fanart#fanfiction#ao3 fanfic#archive of our own#ao3#ao3 recs#miss misnomer

A new challenger approaches (slowly)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen chao#jin zixuan#jiang cheng#lan wangji#tulu xuanwu#Wen Chao's turtlephobia starts now. I wonder if that's ever going to come back into play?#Slight re-ordering of events for the funny punchlines but we're close to getting back on track.#The mianmian stuff happening right after we also have a Torment Tortoise looking for blood makes this scene so chaotic.#A good kind of chaos as it is supposed to be overwhelming and anxiety inducing!#I have been sitting on the idea of the Beast being just a normal turtle with a knife for ages. Years in fact.#It's stupid as hell but that's sometimes what art is. Indulging the past you who would have loved to see the dumb thing be drawn.#Making it canon now that A-Qing's turtle (the one pd-Lan Sizhui found) is a descendant of this turtle.#Maybe she was so defensive because she has eggs she was watching over! How insensitive of these cultivators!#You can insert your own choice of boss music here - I did not grow up playing video games so I have nothing off the top of my head.#I am making a BOTW reference here so you could substitute one of those themes but I find them more melancholic than menacing.

Was there any classes you had to take to be a storyboard artist? I’m thinking of going into a field like that!
I took an online course (Not telling which one because their whole thing significantly dropped in quality over time)
and that was pretty much it. But to be fair - I had decent amount of experience of drawing comics beforehand. It helped significantly because I was already familiar with the concept of visual storytelling through composition and expressions.
I was like. CRAZY passionate about learning to storyboard so I was doing all the homework and watching aaall the lessons and then they were giving optional homework for people who wanted to really lock in and optional-optional little things that no one even expected us to draw. But I was making ALL of them. All the time.
So when the course ended my teacher was like goddamn you got a lot of energy in you huh? And he contacted one producer he knew and basically went "hey I have one student who has zero experience but will work and learn really hard"
And that producer went "Okay I trust you" and hired me without interview haha
#never regretted becoming a storyboard artist#it's the perfect job for my adhd brain#you draw fast. you draw a lot. the things you draw constantly changing#the mood is also constantly different. today I draw comedy. tomorrow I draw someone losing their parents. fun stuff#and another fun part#you literally can convert all the shows you're watching into experience#I never forget how after half a year of working at that studio my boss went#yeah you need to ease a little bit with your expressions and make them more fun#Here's a document. It has a “ go watch Teenage mutant ninja turtles” in it. and a link#ahahah#oh also one of my producers kept sending me Naruto references to throw in the animatics#great job#fair warning - you will be expected to draw A LOT. And not just draw but also like. being creative constantly#if you like just being told what to draw and not thinking about it maybe you need to consider being an animator or layout/background artist

Something I was thinking about today:
The claim that Splinter “never feeds his sons human food” and they have to discover it upon reaching the surface is a curious one.
It makes sense given common information.
Let’s use our big brains. Reason out some more info.
Info like… Splinter must have looked up information about turtles before buying four baby turtles.
However, after getting turned into a rat and ending up a father to infants on the run from aliens, he probably never got the chance to go to the library or use the Internet to look up information on how to feed a half-human half-turtle hybrid baby.
(Not that the Internet had forums for that yet. Was the internet prevalent in 2012…?)
So he just. Fed them turtle food and hoped for the best.
(The Japanese are know for eating insects. And algae is commonly used in all kinds of their recipes. For Americans, it sounds crazy. For Splinter, it was just an adaption of his own diet in the hopes of providing his mutant children with safe, normal turtle food.)
By the time they were kids, they’d probably just gotten used to a routine. We really have no proof that algae and worms is bad for the turtles. Tastes yucky? Maybe. But humans eat plants and bugs too.
Splinter was likely just working with what he knew.
But I don’t think they only ever ate algea. Don’t get me wrong-
The theory is totally understandable. I was onboard for this claim for a while myself. Then, I rewatched Lone Rat and Cubs. (Bebés 🥰🥰)
And he definitely introduces them to foods.




I’m seeing noodles, gyoza, (bamboo stick?), and he also throws down something yellow that I can’t recognize. We also see him collecting bread for them and dangling food over the little piranha children.


He continues to collect products for them. Maybe not the healthiest because he’s literally raiding trashcans but… He’s trying.
And then we have some popcorn proof that he’s still introducing them to human foods when they’re kiddos, with Mikey happily snacking on some while they’re in the dojo.
During the series, we see very little new introductions to foods. They eat romen, icecream, popcorn, and drink milk, tea, and other human things without so much as batting an eye.
Ergo, they’ve had human foods. They’ve just never had pizza.
Why do they act like such goobers when introduced to pizza?
BECAUSE THEY’RE GOOBERS, YOUR HONOR!!!


Though- they actually act similarly when introduced to pizza gyoza.
They hesitate. And then something explodes with how tasty it is.




But because this list is far to short to be a proper analysis, there’s also the point to be made for the first episode where they have an entire kitchen set-up going around them.


And I’m no New York Subway expert, but do they normally have kitchens set up within them? Probably not.
Which means that Splinter (and/or his sons) must have set this up. Why set up pantries, a fridge, and a stove if you did not intend to house foods or make foods to cook on them?
After all, the food on the plates appear fresh and raw.
They have an algae pool for harvesting in the lab. Why would they need to create an entire kitchen set-up simply to prepare them?
Also, they know how to use chopsticks for big and small foods. If they’d spent their entire lives eating small foods, it would be a teenie bit difficult to change the method of picking up a fatter breading than a tiny greenery or worm. Especially with mutant hands.
But they don’t hesitate. As if they have picked up larger foods before.


Also, also, they know what a cake is. What it’s supposed to be made out of. Hence why Leo knows what “icing” is.
I’m not normally that excited to taste something that I’ve never tried before (unless someone is hyping me up). It feel implied that they have and that’s why they’re disappointed that Mikey made one of not-cake substances and why Mikey looks like he has regrets.


Also, also, also- considering Splinter eats the algae and worms too, I don’t believe that he has the turtles on a purely algae based diet because he’d have to stick himself on one too. Man’s not a fan.
And he knows that other foods exist. So. Why would he?


In other words, my favorite analogy:
I hate Spinach salad. My mother used to make us eat Spinach salad.
Were there better things to eat than Spinach? Yeah.
Did mom even listen to that point? Nope.
But was it still technically good for me so I was forced to stomach Spinach salad until I was old enough to design my own diet?
You betcha. And I hated every minute of it 👍
So, to end this, I have to say that while algea and worms could have been (at maximum) a common meal for the turtles, I don’t think it was their only meal option. I’m not necessarily saying it was the best idea or the tastiest meal for a birthday-type celebration, but the turtles definitely had outside food exposure.
Do with this knowledge what you will.

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#if you’ve ever had to wear body paint that stuff can be UNCOMFORTABLE#AND to hold that pose for so long - not moving a muscle even when they first started falling?#as humorous as this is it is no joke highly impressive#I also love the implication that they disguised Leo SO FAST that Big Mama JUST finished with item 1#this is why Leo grows to become the worlds greatest ninja#bro’s dedication to subterfuge is godly#also#Leo 🤝 Mario: being painted gold and tricking the villainess into thinking you’re a statue#side note but in this same episode leo makes a comment about being betrayed by his brothers all the time in a happy tone#and I wonder if that’s part of where his love for epic betrayals comes from#or if his bros partially did those betrayals because they know he likes them#also also#nearly all of Leo’s absolute best moments are contained within episodes that feature either Hueso or especially Big Mama#and I find that interesting#ALSO also also#Karai and Big Mama both embody different aspects of Leo’s key character traits and in this essay I will-#side note but as I mentioned in the notes LEO WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD CHEERLEADER AND SPECIFICALLY A FLYER#bc here’s the thing he has literally all the marks of a good one - the main one being what he shows HERE#the ability to LOCK HIS POSITION#plus his affinity for showmanship like#AND his literal JOB AS A MASCOT???#let my guy be a cheerleader plz#he and Mikey both would be so good at it
