#Lou Jitsu

[isonachiumbu0]

Characters' handwriting in rise (in episode order)!

"Mystic mayhem". Splinter's handwriting is very unique and cool! Love how angular it is, his "o"s are more like triangles

"Origami Tsunami". It's not shown who wrote these signs (multiple turtles?). We see mikey put the "paper on sale" sign up but we don't see him write it. However, after gathering all the samples of the turtles' handwriting, i couldn't find one of leo's and this sloppiness doesn't quite match donnie's, raph's or mikey's, so i'm inclined to say this is leo's handwriting

"Shell in a Cell". Donnie's signature. Donnie writes in cursive in "origami tsunami" too

"Stuck on you". Raph's consistently shown to write in all caps. Also he wrote this on his right palm. Is raph left handed? But! In "pizza puffs" raph writes with his right hand. Maybe raph's ambidextrous orrrrr the artists just forgot

"Pizza Pit". Mikey's handwriting. His letters are offset. How interesting! Mikey writes in all caps in "bullhop" but a bit neater

"Warren & hypno, sitting in a tree". I LOVE that we can see this evolution of april's handwriting through the years, or at least her signature, from elementary school to highschool. I also love that we see her without her jacket

This list of shown handwriting is far from comprehensive, unfortunately, but handwriting is a great opportunity for characterization that i think's often overlooked. Idk if the crew sat down and chose unique handwriting styles for each character but that'd be cool if they did! I noticed most of the handwriting in rise is all caps across characters

pov: you're a tired ex-actor mutated rat dad who just discovered your toddler mutant (pre-ninja) turtle has unlocked your family's innate mystic gifts including a bunch of untapped powers your Grandpa Sho never bothered mentioning (_ _;)

Here is my submission for Round 3 of the @tmntfashioncompetition. The theme was "Heroes and Villains" and while I was tempted to go the cosplay route I really wanted to see if I could lean hard into the fashion aspect and still get the theme across with Vogue vibes alone. This is my first time drawing either Lou Jitsu or Big Mama, but I felt like they were the perfect pair for this theme. I will be going up against the lovely @pommigranite this round! Best of luck to both of us, dear!

Inspo below the cut.

So I've been agonizing what Raph, Leo and Mikey's names should be in the AU, cuz if Splinter didn't raise them then they Draxum would've been the ones who named them and why would he pick human artist names?

Alas, I am lazy, and I don't wanna spend a bunch of time figuring out alternative names for them, so I quickly thought of an in-universe reason why they all ended up with the same names as in canon lol

(TBF Splinter did immidietly start naming in the show as well, he was just a bit less creative about it)

Pt. 1 Leo, Pt. 2 Raph, Pt. 3 Mikey

Thank you for enjoying this short series of Lou-era Splinter with the baby turtles. I made the initial 3 to cope with some stuff and felt better afterwards, but I decided to complete the set. Anyways, yes, Splinter did get more disheveled as the night went on. And yes, just like me, he'll get his rest now too.

People harp about how much leo looks like lou jitsu yet donnie's body has a closer resemblance to lou jitsu's than leo's does because of his long legs (lol they're posing the same)

Leo has a long torso and short legs (in proportion to his body) to push his triangle shape language, unlike lou jitsu and donnie

[goatedgreen]

you will NEVER fumble a bitch like Baron Draxum fumbled Lou Jitsu. NEEEVVERRRRRR

he saw what he considered to be the PEAK HUMAN FORM and thirsted for him so bad he KIDNAPPED THAT MAN to make lab experiment MUTANT CHILDREN with him (leading to said man being turned into a RAT MAN) instead of just like. saying hi.

CATASTROPHIC LEVELS OF DOWN BAD

Some more old concept sketches…I was told that Lou Jitsu was a ‘baby girl’.. can someone explain that to me please?

[tizeline]

So, when Leo's around 10-ish, he accidentally stumbles accross a box filled with a bunch of Lou Jitsu movies (there's even some merch in there!) Which confuses him, considering Draxum had banned anything Lou Jitsu related in their household. He'd shown them some footage from Lou's Battle Nexus fights for research purposes, but his movies were appearently "nothing but human propaganda" so they were strictly off limits..... so why did Draxum even have these?

Leo knew that he'd definitely get in trouble if he watched them and his dad found out but.... if this is the guy who appearently kidnapped his Long Lost Brother, then he should know more about him, right? If Leo was gonna save the softshell from the evil clutches of Lou Jitsu one day, he needs to prepare. So he decides to watch the movies, y'know, for research purposes.

So he does that and uh-

Okay, so in this AU, Leo is a HUGE Lou Jitsu fanboy, and he hates himself for it. Cuz on one hand, he's clearly evil and responsible for taking his softshell brother away from them, but DAMMIT he's just so cool! And Leo appearently has this guy's DNA!? How awesome is that!?

He manages to hide his Lou Jitsu obsession from his family, and being introduced to his movies led to Leo seeking out other human media as well. There are a couple of different reasons why Leo is the first to go against Draxums evil plan and one of those is that, unlike his brothers, Leo is quite familiar with human society and culture. Him being able to teleport also leads to him sneaking to the surface sometimes find out more about humans. All of this leads him to eventually realize that humans really aren't that different from yokai, uh oh, are we the baddies?
