Daily Rise Quotes: DAY 307

Leo: Is that a note from Draxum?

Donnie: What, he couldn't send an email?

(Season 1, Episode 17B - Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree)

[icy-watch]

Ok, y'all know what I need? A comedy show with these 2 and Garmadon and Vinny. Like, imagine it.

[incorrect-quotes-lobby]

April, about Hypno and Warren: And they were roommates...

Leo: Oh my god they were roommates

Just realized why Hypno and Warren felt so familiar and lovable.

It's just like them.

They're so lovable towards one another.

"And they were roommates—"

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

This is a condensed version of one I made on Reddit (removing the essentials list, an alternate episode order, explanation of episode placement, etc). Here's that one for anybody interested. I'm confident that season 1's first half (at least everything before Bug Busters) is in a suitable order, but the second half is definitely up in the air about where the episodes go. Leave any comments if you notice something is out of order. Also, this is a repost because I compiled an image for all the episodes now and I think that can make this more visible for people that could need it/are looking for it.

Are there some Rottmnt episodes you do like? You can name any episodes you can think of

"Pizza Puffs." I have a love-hate relationship with this episode. I ironically and unironically like it. It has all of the most egregious aspects of the series that I would usually ridicule, and yet something about it makes it so bad that it's good. Or at least good to poke fun at. Leo, Donnie, and Mikey are mostly useless. They would rather poison themselves and laze about than do anything productive, let alone heroic. Raph is the only one with a smidgen of sense and decency, and yet he's constantly dragged down by his three terrible brothers and arguably made a worse person for it as a result. Their collective unproductive antics literally driving him insane, because… Comedy? Then there's Ben Schwartz's awful, cringe-inducing rambling improv in the bakery scene. It's a mess, but somehow an entertaining mess. It's the perfect example of how bad the show can be. Which it usually is. Bad that is.

"The Purple Jacket." As much as I find Donnie to be overrated and dislike how much attention he's showered with by the show writers and fans, I have to admit this is a pretty alright episode. I remember watching it and thinking, "Huh, so maybe this is why people love this show so much. If the show continues on this trajectory, that would be good." Only for it to not do that. While it's definitely rushed given the 11-minute format, it's still a competent episode for how focused it is at getting its point across. It's also a nice glimpse into what the series could've been had it allowed the characters to care about socializing with others outside their family.

"Operation: Normal." April tries to go on a date with a girl while Donnie and Leo inadvertently ruin it while dressed in old lady drag. Aside from "Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree," this is the gayest episode of the series and it's a travesty that that isn't recognized enough among fans. None of this, "Oh, April and Sunita are just friends” this or “April just wants to be friends with Sunita" that! Bullocks. I'm mostly being facetious with this take, but with how Warren and Hypno are portrayed as being as close to a romantic couple as possible, maybe there was a similar intent with April and Sunita.

Directly above: April’s very, really, totally, definitely, absolutely straight friendship imagine spot vision of Sunita.

This episode also brought to us the gift of Leo in his natural habitat, right where he belongs: the trash.

Honorary mention goes to "Always Be Brownies." Casey's Girl Scouts rip-off, world domination scheme is really dumb, even by this show's standards, which is saying something. However, Splinter and April’s father-daughter relationship is actually pretty sweet. It just demonstrates how their relationship is probably the most genuinely authentic and healthy familial relationship in the entire series. Splinter also has that same sort of chemistry with Casey, who, mind you, is basically a complete stranger who's holding him captive and threatening his life. Yet he immediately seems to have a better rapport with her than with his own sons. I like to headcanon that part of the reason Splinter neglects the turtles is because he always wanted daughters, and he resents them for being boys instead. Like with all parental neglect, it’d be a reason, not an excuse for his negligence. Nevertheless, had the series been more focused, especially in the first season, that and other rationale behind his behavior had the potential to be explored in greater depth.

Daily Rise Quotes: DAY 492

April: Classic April O'Neil birthday. Trapped in a cage, betrayed by my idol, and facing certain doom.

Raph: Look on the bright side. We're trapped in a cage, having been betrayed by your idol, facing certain doom, together! ... Hey, I'm trying my best here!

(Season 1, Episode 17B - Warren & Hypno, Sitting in a Tree)

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[wat-you-get-is-wat-you-see]

Watching Warren and Hypno sitting in a Tree (again) and anyone else out there think that maybe Leo genuinely can't remember who Warren Stone is? As in their first meeting was so distressing to Leo that his brain just locked those memories away and anytime encounters him again his brain lumps any new memories in with them?

I know he does the 'And you are?' to someone else (I can't remember who off the top of my head right now) as well as to Warren Stone numerous times, but in Warren and Hypno Sitting in a Tree, when Donnie was about to cut Warren's arm off, Leo is outright horrified and doesn't seem to remember when Donnie points out that he regenerates.

Donnie: And now to do some light removing of a thing attached to another thing.

Leo: What the? Donnie?

Donnie: Its fine he regenerates, remember?

Leo: Uhh, No?!

So basically, what if Leo doesn't always remember really distressing things.

And then.

What would that mean for the aftermath of the events of the movie?

[splendidbadger]

I read the tags on the ROTTMNT villains reblog, do you have more any scenarios and ideas for the villians? ANYTHING will do, they’re so fun and intriguing but the fandom overlooks them constantly.

Oh, I'm so glad you asked!!! I love the villains sooo much that I'm making an Ask blog revolving around them opening a bar lmao. I'm happy to see others who are invested.

Headcanons

Repo Mantis

I feel he was the first to be mutated with normal he acts like he gives no shit he's a mutant and we see him deal with humans. In my AU it's due to the fact he was mutated years before ROTTMNTs start. I mean he is not weirded out by the boys, he clearly knows Yokai exists. I have it set so he started doing work in the Hidden City and Draxum saw a nice unmutated human to experiment on and bam mantis man.

Repos trans too, idk man he's my favorite outside of Todd and you know? He's like me frfr. Repo def doesn't strike me as a top surgery guy, but also I feel his mutation helped his dysphoria a LOT because like I mean I've felt that.

Man is also very obsessed with his hair, and uses a lot of products. Doesn't care he's greying but he DOES care how healthy it is.

Repo can and will do drag. (Warren helps with his makeup and wig due to his claws getting in the way)

Hypno

Here's a lil angst one.

Hypno doesn't realize he fused with Doug. I can't remember the episode name, but it's the one in the botanical gardens where we get the flower mutant. We see that humans can literally be fused with plant life and possibly animal life. Also since we know Hypno wants to bring Doug back to life, hes passed away. Given that Doug was Hypnos hippo, and was most likely with him when he was bit, he doesn't realize he's been fused with his buddy.

He just knows his buddy is gone and he'll never see him again. That or he fully knows but is in denial. Warren buys him merch based on Doug as a way to make him feel better, since he's not the greatest at comforting people.

and some non angst headcanons

Hypno doesn't really have a label. He knows he's queer but doesn't care to label himself. He likes who he likes, and that's all that matters.

Hypno does drag a lot!!!! He LOVES doing drag! It's fun for him, and how he expresses himself!

A lil senario thing

Imagine that Repo was actually a fan of Warren Stone as an anchorman, imagine he enjoyed his jokes and commentary. Repos devastated he went missing, and genuinely invested in keeping up with anyone trying to find him. When he discovers his favorite anchors alive and not dead he's thrilled.

Due to the fact we know everyone Warren knew pre-mutation abandoned him he doesn't trust Repo, not at first. After all Hypnos is the only one who takes him seriously or seems to give a shit about him especially after he bungled everything with April. (He feels guilty about that gauntlet situation I will die on this hill.) So naturally he doesn't believe Repo at first. Repos pretty hurt, but man he gets it. These changes are big but he promises he's a fan and even knows other fans too.

Repo ends up taking Warren and Hypno to meet the others, sure they met when Draxum "hired" them but it was just a job and they didn't really to much time to talk after they got into action. I like to think Warrens was genuinely touched to see he has a fan base. I'm fully convinced post Warren and Hypno Sitting in a Tree Todd got Warrent a job as a Hidden City news anchor. Sure it's not what he had, but it IS something, and these yokai? They love him even if he's a worm-
