#but this new iteration feels like it is

[hi-there-buddies]

I love the new TMNT movie, and I’m currently on the first episode of Tales of the TMNT.

So far it’s great, but I just feel like this whole universe is a little off and I think I finally know why. There is barely any Japanese influence left. they took away all the Japanese influence Splinter had by making him a random New York rat, and left us with a rat who only learned Japanese fighting styles from tv. That’s the only connection to Japanese culture he has. This then bleeds into the turtles and it just really takes away from the Japanese American influence the turtles always had.

I mean, even in iterations where Splinter wasn’t Hamato Yoshi, he was always connected to him. In the original story and in the 2003 universe, Splinter had intimate ties with Japanese culture. Now, he just…doesn’t. And it just feels like the story would be a lot better and more succinct if he did. But hey, maybe they’ll add more to Splinter’s backstory in the next movie since they are introducing Shredder. I doubt it, but who knows.

Anyway, Idk if I’m the only person who thinks this, but it makes me sad

The hypocritical irony that us new fans say the older fans should give the new versions like MM and Rise a chance but then new fans won’t do the same with the older iterations like the 1987 series or the 90s movies

So much experimenting to be done, where to even start (Patreon)

sudden quest idea for totk rewritten (botw2 edition)

kashiwa (kass? sorry english, i will always think of cheese when i hear this name) travels hyrule again, but this time with his kids who are older now (or even with his whole family) each of them having a different instrument

they offer a quest or riddle again but this time with new songs- or alternatively, you can find each of them on their own in certain spots where they set up camp, as in they travel on their own to find inspiritation for songs, like carpenters that per tradition have to travel a while to be granted their certification (idk if thats a thing in america, it is here, though i have seen very few these days, back when i was in school we often took one in if we had space in car since they have to hitchhike as far as i know)

you help each one write their own song which either leads to a minidungeon or otherwise a reward (maybe some per research, so you gotta go around looking for clues to help them) and makes them travel back to whereever kashiwa is (perhaps he could be in a new settlement, like idk if i like the place where the spypost is in totk its seems to be a terrible place for .. a spypost- like id conisder the forgotten plateau for its central spot, its elevation and history, but i like the idea of putting the end fight there too much and putting it both there doesn work) and unlocks a bigger thing, like a bonus dungeon or at least some bigger mystery thing (idk yet, just had this idea)

idea is that you bring him back, since hes a fan favorite, but change it up in a natural way, so his kids are older now and take his role from botw, but not quite since hes was researching the song of his teacher, his children are trying to write thier own songs, as in ... looking into the future not just the past in a way, it keeps him there but doesnt make it a full repeat of botw and also doesnt just ... delete him- also you got a music thing again that isnt that weird new group which, while not ... bad, were kinda weird and i hated how they locked the fairies and the quests to get there (like i feel like to make a botw2 work you need less new characters that dont get any development or personality anyway and more letting existing characters progress?)

I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you. I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! FUCK!

@vero-valzer as Taako the Wizard from The Adventure Zone

Realized Tumblr and its smol but rad and dedicated TAZ Fandom might be the right place to share my Taako cosplay that I'm proud of and really enjoy wearing. 🌂✨️💖

These pics span multiple years and multiple outings, featuring a few different iterations on this cosplay at this point—from conventions to Ren Faires.

It has filled my heart with glee every time I heard someone gasp and go, "Is that Taako? From T.V.?!" which gave me the opportunity to spin around and say, "Why, yeeeeeees~! ✨️" in my best Taako impression or give a tip-o'-the-hat and wave and get to see people's eyes light up and smiles spread across their faces. 💖

new suicide squad anime got me thinking about the genderbend batman au i made when i was 16 again.

extra (nsfw??? body horror + shirtless doodle lol) art under the cut + drabble.

A mysterious actress appears in Gotham!

Production for the long-anticipated remake of the 1930s classic horror film, "The Clay", is saved in part thanks to the audition of one woman with no credits to her name, just a face and demeanor identical of the late leading actress of the original film.

However, the cast and crew have bigger worries than their limited budget and endless demands from their producers -- everyone involved seems to be disappearing one by one!

While the average gothammite worries that the cult classic's "cursed" reputation might be a little more than an urban legend, The Batman refuses to entertain such unfounded silliness and aims to get to the bottom of this crime against cinema!

presenting BATMAN '63 - THE RISE OF CLAYFACE coming not actually ever lmao

(her hair is brown now because I like the idea of her appearance never being fully consistent lol. shapeshifters gotta do their thing)

onemotion.com’s sketch pad thing was so unbearably laggy

[glitter-alienz]

thinking about TANR (teenage alien ninja rats)

wouldn't be so funny if i made an AU based on them? wouldn't it be so silly?? :3

[rainworldroompoll]

A lil additional poll after the news

Spoilers for the new annoucment, so if u hadnt seen the news yet beware

Im not adding them to the poll, cause they can change with release

i wonder if they release the dlc faster then the poll will end, but even if i might come back to poll through the new rooms

[icewindandboringhorror]

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

I've seen people be like downpour ruined how people see five pebbles and im gonna be honest if you were here for any number of years pre-downpour the fandom was always god-awful with the nuance in his character. thats not a downpour thing thats a fandom thing

[istherewifiinhell]

reading a single tf comedy fic will confront u with the authors viewpoints on: heads of military, heads of state, stance on revolutionary politics, reporters, freedom of the press, cops, class stigmatized labour, civilian liberties, criminalized... miscreantism? blows big breath kicks can down the road... minorities?

question: who is your favourite scooby doo character and why?

in a similar vein to my how did you get into scooby doo post from last month, i'm now interested in hearing who your favourite character from the franchise is! are they a member of the core gang or a side character? which iteration/version of theirs do you like best? do you have any specific memories associated with them? do they mean a lot to you personally, or do you just think they're neat? it's time to gush about them in the tags/replies!!

I'm starting to dread (ha) Dreadwolf, partly because Solas is the main antagonist and I have...... Absolutely no feelings about him at all, actually. The best I can summon is a big old "meh". And if they center him (which it seems like they plan to) and make a big deal about whether you want to kill him or redeem him or stop him or join him... Well frankly I just won't care and I'm worried that means I won't have a damn thing to care about in the game's main plot

I'm also worried that his success or failure at taking down the veil will be preordained since that's too big of a plot line to leave up to the player - there just wouldn't be any way to structure future games to account for that player choice. This is obviously a less well founded worry, but it makes it really hard for me to care about the stakes of the game

Idk I'm not trying to shit on people who are excited for this game (I am too, despite the bitching and moaning) but it's really hard to get excited for a game when the one thing you know about it is so completely uninteresting to you
