Timatello... Timothy..

[autisticer-tim-drake]

This man. Timothy.

He talks in two episodes of the 2012 teenage mutant ninja turtles run.

I would kill for him.

The entire first episode he’s in they’re just making fun of him for trying to help people basically in the exact same way Casey Jones was when they met him.

The second episode they’re still using him as a punchline, then they douse him in mutagen and he doesn’t become some cool hybrid villain, he becomes mutagen man, almost gets blown up, then gets frozen solid.

Donatello basically vows then and there to make a retromutagen and save Timothy.

Timothy was Donatello’s fucking motive to making a retromutagen in the first place. Granted, he’d already been working on one, but I guarantee that this was way more of a motivator.

When they leave to go to April’s family’s house they leave him behind and Donatello says something about how he’ll defrost eventually.

So we know that Timothy was Donatello’s like, priority when it comes to the retromutagen and that it’s possible to unfreeze him.

So why in GODS GREEN EARTH did Donatello, upon finishing the retromutagen, give some to April’s dad

AND OFFER THE REST TO SPLINTER

WHO DIDNT EVEN FUCKING WANT TO BE HUMAN AGAIN

AND MY BOY TIMOTHY WAS LITERALLY IN THE BACKGROUND OF SOME OF THESE SCENES BECAUSE HE BASICALLY BECAME SET DRESSING AFTER HE WAS FROZEN

Welcome

to the (un)official Timothy archive!

This is a blog dedicated to Timothy (The Pulverizer) from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012). It will be filled with reblogs, and we will not repost art without the artist’s permission. Got a photo or some art of Timothy? Send it in!

If you do not know who an artist is, send the art in anyways, and we will try to find the original post/account before asking for permission (if the account is still up) and crediting them.

Regards on shipping:

Timatello is allowed and especially encouraged on this blog, though we ask that you do not submit any sexualized (or NSFW) art/posts about them at all. You may send in art with kissing and such, as long as context is provided. If so, then we will evaluate if the art is okay to upload onto the archive with a warning attached.

Side note: Not everything will be Timatello. A lot of reblogs will be about it, as it is currently becoming popular. If you do not ship it, don't worry! There's still a ton of reblogs unrelated to the topic.

'Thank you's:

We know and understand the low amount of attention Timothy gets, specifically 2012 Tim. Fortunately, fantastic artists such as:

@/kingscourthouse

@/pinetreevillain

@/battiegutz

And @/probably-not-a-rutabuga

Have been the fuel for Timothy fans to come together and enjoy this wonderful, slightly annoying, endearing character, no matter the iteration it came from. (Side note: Special thank you to @/pinetreevillain for creating their own ROTTMNT Timothy.)

The reasoning for making this blog:

- Timothy is a character whose world was flipped upside down the moment he met the TMNT. He was a cut plotline and was crucial for Donnie’s character growth for the show before Nickelodeon cut him. We unfortunately will never know what could have happened for Timothy in later seasons, and he could’ve been a fantastic character. It’s only fair if we give him the equivalent of a love letter as a proper send off for 2012 Tim.

- Why not? It’s fun.

Final note:

The blog will not be cluttered with anything that has nothing to do with Timothy, so if you want a general TMNT blog then this is not for you.

We hope to see you around! Stay safe, enjoy the blog, and try not to get mutated while you're at it.

Never forget that this gnarly character's real name, on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was Seymour Gutz. Mutagen Man forever!

[lotus-duckies]

after some deep thinking and watching 2012 again as i often do, i've come to the realization that Casey and Timothy are actually rather similar in conception

They're both teenage boys with the aspiration for a hero role, lowkey thought of as kind of annoying but also others feel the need to look after them and tell them "don't do that you'll get hurt", getting into trouble a lot and in a lot of risk of getting hurt, they enjoy crafting a Cool Hero narrative for themselves despite the reality not quite matching up, having. . . some kind of relationship with Donnie, had some desire for April at some point in some way, and being artists

The big difference being that Timothy wanted to be a hero for clout, attention, and worship. Wanting to be cool and acknowledged for it, so he imitated the turtles in hopes that would get him where he wanted to be

and Casey has the genuine desire to help others, to smush wrong doing that he sees on sight, and he just happens to have enough raw anger, lack of self preservation, and brain cells to actually get it done (like using a taser and explosives alongside hockey sticks and bats, wearing protection that doesn't impede his movement, using his already acquired skillsets to his advantage etc)

As a result, Casey does get to be part of the action, he can be a hero and go through hell and back relatively unskathed, he's invited into their home and train under Splinter, and the turtles view him as their friend

and i think that's so interesting

I've been sick so all I got is this mutagen man design for our Mystic Forest AU. Enjoy he.

Nobody talk to me I'm crying over mutagen man.

[reviilo]

my dude suffered more than jesus

[exist101]

I have absolutely NO evidence for this but

What if this thing is Seymour Gutz

I KNOW I KNOW

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUTAGEN MAN

BUT one of the versions of the poor lad had him as an experiment to mix different animals for 1 mutant that went badly and this thing certainly is a mix of different animals

Like that's a whale mouth, a claw, and narwhals for fingers and whatever else I'm missing, plus it's spitting up the mutagen

I dunno this is very unlikely but like. What if it's Seymour

Aqua Teen/12 Turtles similarity

In one episode, the neighbor Carl contracts a virus that has no cure. He ends up being frozen till such time as a cure can be made/found. Time jump way into the future, a still frozen Carl has been repurposed into a coat rack

A character with a severe condition gets frozen until they can be cured, and then they just aren’t. Now why does that sound familiar? 😝

I actually cannot believe this ask sent me on a journey of procrastination to go and watch the entire episode instead of just taking your recount of it at face value😭

It was funny tho ngl.

And yeah it definitely sounds familiar lol, Timothy didn't stand a chance of becoming human again the moment he got demoted to a background piece for Donnie's lab😭

Mutagen Man: All versions explored (TMNT)

He had different names and different origins, but all the versions of him look horrifying. In this video I will explore the 1987, 2012, and IDW versions of the character.

[brightlotusmoon]

@spottedsplash reminded me that inevitably it all comes down to crabs.

Timothy the Mutagen Man eventually becomes a crab.

Is that comforting or more horrific than what already happened?

[aardwolfpack]

Hey, you remember those posts I made about my childhood O.C. Alien Crusader a.k.a. Scum (you don't) and how I was disappointed that I couldn't find the last and best drawing I made of the character (you especially don't). Well, you'll be happy to know that I just found that very picture (you won't).
