I'm so sorry Raph.

Also I'm flattered (??) that people think these are digital but I assure you I am not that great with that. XD;;;

Exhibit A.

I'm finding it very painful to read things about Splinter being a bad parent recently.

Like, I've been noticing a trend where the boys get really frustrated to the point where they start yelling and getting all their pent up feelings out about the situation they were raised in and stuff, which is totally valid, not saying it's not.

But while the boys get to yell it out, they keep Splinter from explaining his own point of view. Instead it's "I get raising 4 kids by yourself is hard, but that's no excuse to leave us alone" or "just because your were put through such a traumatizing event that changed the entire course of your life m, doesn't mean you can just shut down and fall into depression".

They're either acknowledging his reasons for being absent and saying it wasn't fair, or completely ignoring that Spinter could have had something keeping him from being fully present, but in either situation, they gloss right over it so that they have it worse then he ever could.

Might I remind you, they refused to tell him about anything that happened in the show right up until they were literly fighting each other for the armor pieces because they didn't want to worry their dad (or get grounded).

They kept brushing him off when he tried to tell them exciting stuff he used to do to try to find some common ground the only way he knows how.

When Yoshi got angry at his own grandpa, it was seen as wrong because he should have been nicer to his only relative, but when the boys do the same thing back, it's seen as totally ok?

Can we look back at the kids' photos where Splinter is seen comforting and playing with the boys?

How about the boys being so happy to get attention instead of hiding away in disgust?

I understand there have been points in the show where we clearly see the absent side of him, and I'm not giving him a pass for it, just to be clear.

I'm just wondering why he's not allowed to vent about his own struggles and depression without being interrupted that it's not valid enough?

The boys clearly love and adore Splinter.

Ready Up [ WIP ]

...A few panels from something goofy I'm working on--

[ Context: As Raphael gets older, he becomes involved in an incident that all but shatters his confidence in combat situations. Splinter and Big Mama collaborate to track down an ideal sparring partner to assist in restoring his self-esteem. ]

Theory on Future Mikey's Aging

To start off: I think that ninpo and the turtle’s weapon’s aren’t the things holding the power, it’s the turtles themselves. This was already confirmed for the weapons, but I think it applies to ninpo too. I think those act as a channel for the turtles to tap into their power.

How does this apply to canon? Well, think about their ninpo/weapons as a pipe. If they channel too much power through it, it’ll start leaking, and have a physical effect on them. The creators said future Mikey’s aging was caused by ninpo overuse. I think it’s because he needed a stronger “pipe” than ninpo, but he didn’t have time to learn how to use another because of the apocalypse.

That's it, thanks for reading my little rant :)

My friend made a Turkish hair implant joke about Mikey and I thought it was funny
