#again I’m not hating on the possibility of Raph having ADHD but we shouldnt lie about the source when that not what happened or was stated

[fabuloustrash05]

Something that has been bothering me is that people (mostly on TikTok shocker) lately have been throwing around a rumor that in TMNT 2012 Raph states that he has ADHD.

This idea comes from the season 2 episode “The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones” when Raph goes up top letting off some steam and ranting to himself because his brothers calm he has anger issues, which Raph is in huge denial about (that’s one of the points of the episode)

When Casey follows him into the sewers, Raph continues his furious rant to himself and some people calm you can hear Raph say faintly in the background:

“I have ADHD and anger issues!”

I hate to break it to you, but that’s not what he said. Why would Raph admit he has anger issues when the whole point of that rant is him stating that he doesn’t. He’s in denial of his anger issues, why would he out of not where admit it then go back to denying it?? What he actually said was:

“I have a PhD in anger issues!”

Cause that whole rant was him believing he is good at controlling his anger issues so much that he could have a PhD in the subject.

It’s okay to have headcanons and I’m certainly NOT trying to hate on or dismiss the possibility that Raph might actually have ADHD (it is still is possible and we can still HC it), but don’t lie and change what actually happens/is said in the show just to fit your narrative.
