Honestly now that I think about it for 03 I dont even see raph as straight I got gay vibes from him but that’s just me projecting as a gay dude myself. If you don’t mind my asking what did you mean by seeing characters who feel deeply as aroace rep.

What are turtles if not to project onto, tbh

I like to see characters who feel deeply as aro, ace, or both because often a lot of the rep I see is very stereotype based. Like the characters who are out of touch with their feelings or emotionally repressed are more likely to be portrayed as not feeling attraction. For example, if a story is tagged with “asexual Donatello” I’m less likely to read it. Kinda reminds me too much of growing up with (well-meaning) friends who thought they knew more about my feelings than I did. With my own experience and other ace spectrum friends, I just think it would be neat if we had more characters who are portrayed as having a rich and healthy inner emotional life.

So that’s the personal reasons, but about Raph. He’s got so much social intelligence and really wears his heart on his sleeve. The show focuses a lot on his anger, but I think all his emotions stay pretty near the surface. He has a lot of intelligence both about his own emotions and about other people’s. And so what if we took that intelligence, and let him enrich his life in a hundred meaningful ways that don’t involve a partner? I feel like there’s a lot of potential there

Anyway I am not the expert either on Raph or the collective aroace experience (I am so painfully hopelessly alloromantic), but that’s a bit of why I do the things I do

Brains & Brawn Pride

Raph and Donnie join the mix. Again, wasn't sure what to do for Raphies flag to be honest.

Uncolored flags under the cut so you can give them any flag.

[yellowhollyhock]

don't know if you said but who do you ship raph with ?

Personally, I headcanon Raph as aroace. Not sure why, just vibes I guess? Once the thought occurred to me I quickly became attached to it. Like he feels so much so deeply. As an ace spectrum lesbian, I think I like the idea of emotional characters being aroace representation.

If I’m reading, though, the ship I can most easily see is probably Mona Lisa. I can see them as besties ship or not

This time, it's turtles. Raph is smaller than she should be but shhhh... just.. just ignore it.

I see you mentioned that Lena had health problems when she was young. What kind of problems did she have? Apologies for asking of this is a spoiler and you plan on addressing this in a future comic. I love your comics, especially since they have a wide range of queer representation 🏳️‍🌈

naw you're good! i've mentioned some of this in am ask before, but in the comic this started in worry. Lena is actually fine, but Casey's insight into the bad future!Mikey (seemingly didn't like children and actively avoided cj as a child - a complete divergence from this mikey's attitude toward kids) made Leo worry that something terrible would happen to her.

They have no way of knowing what really happened to lena in the other timeline (never hatched due to the environment), so leo obsesses over every possible thing that could go wrong - sudden illness, injury, she develops her mystic powers early and it goes terribly wrong, etc etc.

I dont really know yet if leo confided in anyone other than donnie about his hunch (or if mikey clocks how twitchy he gets about her and makes him fess up), but Lena spends a lot of her childhood getting handled with kid gloves. She gets regular checkups, boring meditation lessons with draxum, and isn't allowed to spar seriously or pick out a weapon for a long time.

and thank you! idk im just chillin. Tho I do think it's funny that the guy with the most straightforward gender is Shelldon. He's literally a robot.
