#/ they are so funny and silly and goofy to me

[tmnt-activates-my-autism]

I've mentioned this in other posts about the subject: it would be so funny and iconic if the 87 turtles were able to use 80s cartoon logic in their action sequences and it just. Kept. On. Working. It would be such a fun little twist to me. Some iterations make fun of it for its 80s camp (*coughcough* 2003 Turtles Forever *coughcough*), but what if it just really leaned into it?

Like, the 87 turtles have their silly 80s goofiness and campiness, but keep winning fights in the most insane ways possible, doing shit that should not be possible or should not work, and yet they just...can. And nobody knows how they are able to do it. Nobody else can do it. Nobody else can break the laws of physics the way these guys can. Well, maybe some iterations sort of can, but they cannot harness the power of 80s action show campiness and wacky logic.

I can't easily describe it, but I just really like the idea of the 80s turtles seeming a bit goofy at times and having that 80s campy flair, since it's part of what I like about them (especially 87 Shredder since he is so fun), but also being incredibly good at what they do and randomly doing impressive stuff without a care in the world. Like, 80s cartoon logic is really OP, and I want it to lean into that.

Also, as you said, the neat thing about TMNT as a whole is that it is an inherently silly concept that manages to work, and I feel like it takes a pretty big lack of self awareness to make fun of the 87 version. Like, at the end of the day, it's literally about a team of fucking turtle ninjas who were trained by a god damn rat. No matter how dark you make it, it's still called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At this point, only the Mirage turtles are allowed to tease the 87 turtles. Other iterations can't act like they are superior just because they are darker and grittier.

Stop making fun of the ones who know the concept is a bit funny and actively choose to roll with it. You can make the story legitimately serious and take it seriously, but don't act like the ones who choose not to are inherently lesser because they want to have a bit more fun.

My problem with TMNT crossovers and thier potrayle of the 1987 Turtles!

As much as I have a special place in my hear for the Turtles Forever movie and the crossover special in the 2012 version, I will be forever bitter about the execution of how they were done. Specifically, the portrayal of the 1987 turtles and the relationship they have with their more current counterparts.

The 87 Turtles seem to always be portrayed as very silly and nonsensical, which yes they are but the point has always been, in ALL Turtles’ media, is that they are silly but still capable! Like the whole point of the Ninja Turtles is that it is a silly concept with silly characters but the punchline is that they are still trained warriors that can kick your ass. I don’t like that they made the 87 Turtles the butt of every joke compared to their more “serious” counterparts, when they are just as capable as the rest of them.

Personally, I think it would have been more interesting (as well as a lot funnier) if the 87 Turtles were just really, really good at their jobs. Not because they’re better or more skilled but just the fact that they have more experience and have been doing this whole vigilant thing for way longer than the rest of them. Like I honestly think that should be a “thing” amongst the entire Turtleverse, like the previous generation is always going to be “better skilled” just do to the fact that they’ve been doing it for longer.

Most times experience will always triumph over raw strength and power, which to elaborate that DOES NOT MEAN that the next generation is “weaker” it just means that they need more experience to get to the level of skill that the previous generation is at. For example, when you go into a new job the person that has been there the longest is usually better at the job than you are NOT because you are incapable but because you need more experience to learn and gain the skills to do the job properly.

But anyways, I think it would be funnier if the 87 Turtles were like super OP just cuz they’ve been doing this longer. That’s not even counting their Mirage counterparts, because if 87 Turtles are OP than comparatively the Mirage Turtles (AKA the very first!) are absolutely fucking insane. And not just the Turtles, I want the 87 villains to be fucking OP too!

Like every other villain in the Tutleverse are convinced these guys, especially Kraang and Shredder, are a fucking joke. Then when they “team up” together to defeat the Turtles the other villains go to backstab them only for 87 Shredder and Kraang to go “Uno reverse, bitch! We were letting you do all the work for us, stupid mother fucker!”. Like the concept of the 87 villains being a red herring pretending that they’re just bumbling idiot when in fact they are manipulative psychopaths is so fucking interesting to me, and could have played out so well in their respective crossovers. Because again: they’ve been in this game for WAY longer than their other counterparts have.

I also think it would be really cool (and funny, because first and foremost I’m always going to chose the funnier option) if the 87 Turtles, as well as being the smallest, are the most physically strongest out of all their counterparts. This is partially cannon in actuality because I have SEEN these mother fuckers rip metal sheets off the walls of cars, lift heavy machinery/vehicles in the air with ease, break through brick walls, and toss around Bebop and Rocksteady plus other mutants twice their size like beach balls! These fuckers are probably just walking muscles! I wanna see them lift the Bayverse Turtles up in the air like it was nothing! (Please someone make fanart of this and tag me! I beg you!)

Anyway, the whole point of this rant is that I think the TMNT writers would have better success in writing better crossover specials if they just lean into the fact that the 87 Turtles are the oldest of the bunch with far more experience and skill under their belt AND the fact that they rely a lot on 80s cartoon logic which makes everything so much more chaotic than it needs to be.

୨INTRODUCING MY BAND DR୧

……………………………………………………………

members

there are 4 of us in the band but we are considering adding a 5th member. currently its me (the lead singer), my best friend kurt (the drummer), rowan (the bassist), stan (the guitarist)

about the members

demi (me) (17) - i kept my real name, personality and face claim but i have purple hair in my dr (i have dyed my hair purple a few times in the past but am currently rocking my natural colour so i figured i should add that in)

kurt (19) - he has long, thick blonde hair and a wardrobe that looks like it was salvaged from the dumpster behind goodwill. somehow he still makes it work in a way thats effortlessly cool, like hes not even trying. hes pretty laid-back and funny. we are incredibly close, hes always looked out for me like a protective older brother. were practically inseparable, whether were hanging out in his van, practicing with the band or escaping to our secret rooftop hideout.

rowan (19) - he has tousled black hair, eyes as dark as the night sky and a faint mustache. his silly personality is like a refreshing breath of fresh air. theres this awkwardness about him that makes his humor even more genuine. hes a truly good person and anyone who gets to be a part of his life is undeniably lucky.

stan (18) - hes carefree and goofy, the kind of person who can bring a smile to anyones face just by being around. however, he can sometimes be a bit too carefree and occasionally selfish, though its rarely intentional.

about the band

we are pretty unknown and mostly just perform at the local pub on the weekends. our music sounds like radiohead met midwest emo.

backstory

kurt and I met at a concert when I was 14 and he was 16. we hit it off right away and he introduced me to his friends, stan and rowan. a year into our friendship, we decided to form a band since we all played instruments and shared the same taste of music.

extra

set in the 90s

location - a small town in the uk

we all attend the same art school and only take the lessons we are passionate about. im enrolled in guitar, film, philosophy and art

we like to attend house parties and sometimes even perform there

[ihatebrainstorm]

i never got very far into the comics because adhd is a harsh mistress, so i don't really know anything about brainstorm. what are your favorite things about him?

Aw man there's so many things I love about him, and I'll try to avoid spoilers but there is a certain in the story that really flipped the switch about how I thought of him kaksdf- Also this will get very long winded and incoherent very quickly bc uh I love this stupid asshole and he occupies 90% of my brain at all times: (i apologize in advance)

Surface level wise, I love his stupid arrogant humour and how seemingly absorbed with himself he is- I love how much of a ridiculous scheming little prick he can be gahgh, idk I think I just really like that character archetype?? At least going off of characters from other media I immediately get attached to lmao

He's just so sillyyyy and a menace and a prick and a stupid little annoying asshole but then he's actually really caring towards his friends and I want to shake him and rattle him and throw him out a windoww (He'll be fine, he can fly)

He's a trickster and he does science for the love of the game- Experiments with everything and everyone, builds whatever stupid idea just for the sake of building it, and idk I relate to that ig and I respect that

His stupid moldy egg colour scheme. (idk that's how I always see it) idk why,, I just like it. but also I don't like it. but also I do... but also I hate drawing with that colour scheme

HIS WINGSSS HIS STUPID WINGS AND HIS HEAD THAT ARE ALL PISS ANNOYING TO DRAW BUT I LOOK AT IT AND GO "yeeehaheehe he's so annoying i hate him i love him wow i love airplanes" I love airplanes so much, I love how he has a jetpack that he barely ever uses, and an airplane altmode that he also barely ever uses, and I love that he can fly, I love flying characters, I love flying animation, I just love anything that can fly, I like flight and flying

That stupid silly prick little annoying scrunkled lovable punchable face he always does:

like don't you see that and want to sock him directly in the face <33

Nerd. i like nerd characters. and he is quintessential nerd. loud mouth babbleton yapper info dumper extraordinaire and I wouldn't have it any other way

HE'S SO GIGGLY AND ADORABLE SOMETIMES. AND ANNOYING. AND A PRICK. AND GRGHRGHRHHHH WHY IS HE LIKE THAT I WANT HIM TO SHUT UP AND NOT SHUT UP.

His friendship with Nautica and Percy <33333 Their little science trio is so adorable and fun and the stupid silly science antics potential is through the roofff- Like look at Nautica and BS aghgghgh they're so adorablee <333

Simpatico. i. idk why but something about that ship makes me so damn happy- like somethign about Brainstorm being so goofy silly, constantly trying to prove his worth in contrast to Percy's super analytical no nonsense attitude, eventually drifting towards Percy mutually respecting the silly fella makes me so happyy.... It's a really funny dynamic to me, and there's that point in the story where I feel like you can see Percy start to really admire BS.. it really flipped a switch for me- Also that final simpatico panel in the last LL issue makes me so happy bc they both look so happy and I love seeing happy characters :D

Edit: Forgot to mention, but also something about post-war Percy finally returning to science work, after years of being a sniper? To me at least, it felt like Percy was relearning his love for science outside of his duties, and Brainstorm's little arc + Nautica's arrival helped him gain new equals to work alongside with- They bring a bit competitiveness and discovery to science that helps reinvigorate Percy's intrinsic love and interest after years of strict duty

Brainstorm's angstt.. his internal conflicts, lack of self-worth, being so absorbed with his work that it ends up harming him, and the way he cares about people he's close to which eventually all leads to his arc all are stuff I really relate to heavily so i chomp it down with salt and pepper

His weirdness,, like he's sorta funky weird and I appreciate that a lot, because it all makes sense or no sense to him and him alone, and yea that makes my brain happy :)

His own little hyperfixations/general fixations like researching time travel, the dead universe, sparkeater stuff, multiverse stuff etc. etc. (like who else goes: oh huh this creature almost killed me, lemme go make a gun that makes more of those things :D) he just like me fr fr

His deceptiveness, sneakiness, and doing shady things under the table (I can't get too into it bc it's pretty heavy spoiler stuff so yea) Also his weird moodiness sometimes

His friendship with Chromedome,, they seem to care a lot about each other, but are also in the midst of drifting apart??? Old acquaintances/ coworkers/ friends who've been working together for ages and know deeply about one another, including the crappy things they've done in the past, but are now kinda distant? Yet they have a certain flavour of sad care to their dynamic which feels real and melancholic,, also the way you can kinda feel how his experiences with Chromedome's past sorta influences how he sees Nautica's decisions later in the story gghhgughhh

This bozo idiot getting partially Mike Wazowski'd on the cover of MTMTE #28

His MTO backstory and theorizing about how he ended up doing science??? How'd he get there? Why is he so adverse to calling himself an MTO? What was the Operation he was born into about???

His strange spookiness- like he isn't scary per-say but sometimes he's just kind of a spooky menace creature and I love that :) It's like adding layers of mystery to his erratic goofy outer-personality and it's really intriguing (kinda like cuddling with a cat then watching it stare you down from the dark corner of a room an hour later)

In conclusion: I want to kick him into the stratosphere out of spite and love <3 thank you for coming to my incoherent, likely uninformative Ted Talk :)

Been thinking a lot about the malevolent au and particularly how it would effect Ingo's day to day life back in Unova :>

[image id: a digitally drawn sketch page, featuring primarily Ingo, Emmet, and Giratina (who is named Fox). In the first drawing, Ingo and Emmet enthusiastically handshake with each other, labelled "Emmet (autistic)" "Ingo (blind)" "not making eye contact". Neither of them is looking directly at the other. Beneath this is a drawing of Ingo tripping and eating shit, with Fox failing to warn him in time. Next to this is a three panel comic. Fox reacts to a joltik sitting on a table in front of them, with Ingo responding in unknowing terror at this supposed threat, until Fox finally reveals that it is just a tiny cute joltik. Ingo is unimpressed. Finally is a drawing of Emmet and Drayden. Drayden asks Emmet outraged, "how could you POSSIBLY not notice your brother is blind." Emmet gestures back at Ingo, yelling "HE IS LITERALLY READING RIGHT NOW". Ingo is sat in an armchair with a book in his lap, Fox leaning over his shoulder to read the book to him. End id]
