Venus - We Need to Talk (Again)

Back here again, aren't we? I'm so sorry, but I just can't help myself.

Because I have just discovered that there were plans to reveal not just one, but TWO lost turtles in ROTTMNT, I will discuss the story potential both Venus and Slash could have, should this show ever come back. (Please Nickelodeon, do something right for once and give us this show back-) But I must finish Venus first, before moving on to Slash.

And for those of you who might ask about Jennika, I thought about making her own page to hold out hope that she could make it into the Rise universe, only to come to the tragic realization that it was highly unlikely that she could ever appear in the show, given that Venus and Slash are pretty infamous as characters, and that the creators said that there were 2 missing turtles and not 3. My apologies to all Jennika stans.

Anyway, I did talk about Venus already, yes, but after revisting her backstory from The Next Mutation, I've come to the conclusion that her debut story isn't all bad? Yeah, I can't believe I just said that either.

I'll give the Next Mutation writer's 15-year-old brains credit, the idea that Venus was adopted by someone else and learned ninjutsu/magic is a cool concept, if explored correctly.

Since it's been pretty well-established that Big Mama's assistant was likely going to be revealed as Venus, I have an idea as to how she got there.

Now I could be wrong, but I believe that Big Mama's assistant debuted in Season 2. Whether or not she was just hired or was hiding out until the time was right, who can say.

For those of you who don't know or simply wiped that show from your memory, Venus was raised by Master Chung I, a human martial artist who taught Venus everything he knew.

Chung I died after confronting the Dragon Lord and demanding that he release Splinter. And his last words to Venus were for her to travel to New York City.

Now if I were in charge, I would keep some similarities to this, but obviously take some creative liberties.

In my Rise version of event, Draxum's lab explodes, the boys and Splinter take off, and Venus and Slash are presumed by Draxum to have died.

Instead of Venus' father being a human, I would make him a yokai, who finds her somehow and takes her to the farthest end of the Mystic City.

This father-figure would parallel Splinter in a few ways:

He would simultaneously be responsible, yet neglectful at the same time. The guy would be very much a loner with a tragic past, so while he would take care of Venus physically, her emotionally needs are something he simply can't and would not handle.

He would never leave his home. Granted, it would be hard to do so, as he lives very, very far away from other yokai, but he just refuses to interact with anyone he doesn't have to. But not because he's lazy, it would likely be due to paranoia and his strict moral code to keep his whatever he's keeping secret, safe from everyone.

Less of a father, and more of a master. A total flip from Rise Splinter, who focused more on fatherhood than teaching his sons dangerous martial arts, this guy is "teacher first, father second."

I see him as a cat. Not sure why I went with that, but it was a cool idea I thought of while brainstorming. While Splinter is an overweight, yet agile rat, I imagine Chung I would be a skeletal, agile, and exhausted cat.

I even have a sketch I drew.

Honestly, just think of 2012 Master Splinter for a frame of reference on his personality. He's still wise and knowledgeable, but instead of kind and compassionate, he's grumpy, unwelcoming, and snappy.

Not the greatest upbringing for Venus: living in isolation and rarely going outside, only knowing and living with one person her entire life, training constantly every single day, and being told that her emotions should never interfere with her duty, but she knows that it's the best for her! Poor thing...

So how does this play into how Venus became Big Mama's assistant? Allow me to explain:

The whole reason why Venus' father isolated himself and Venus was because of an ancient prophecy. I haven't worked out all the logistics of the prophecy, but basically he needs to protect that sacred amulet he has around his neck, or the Dragon Lord will rise once more.

Unfortunately, shenanigans happen and the Dragon Lord is awakened, but not at full power. Though he has just enough to kill Chung I.

Heartbroken and determined to stop the Dragon Lord, Venus travels through the Mystic City for any information on another ancient weapon that could destroy the beast once and for all.

This leads to her meeting Big Mama and learning about the Battle Nexus tournaments.

Whether Venus likes Big Mama or not, I haven't decided, but she's honestly just using her to gain battle experience and knowledge on everything going on within the Mystic City and/or the surface.

Depending on when all of this happened, she might have become Big Mama's assistant at least several months to a year prior to the boys being introduced to her in Season 2.

I picture that the big reveal of Venus being their sister would play out a bit similarly to how I discussed previously. I loved looking through everyone's ideas about Venus, and I can say without a doubt, that the amount of fanfare behind ROTTMNT and Venus overall is worth Nickelodeon bringing back this show.

Note: Well! I hope you all enjoyed this! If you read till the end, thank you very much! Please tell me what you think of my ideas, that would be very much appreciated! Until next time with my comments, concerns, and ideas about Slash, have a great day everyone! Byeee! 💗

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

I made this comic to celebrate the anniversary of my tmnt/rottmnt hobby 💥

I'm new to Tumblr, but there are already so many of you!! Whoa! I am grateful to you for following me, and for writing such sweet, pleasant words 😭💕 (sorry for not answering everything)

I am very sorry that there is so little of me here 😥

I should post more of my work here….hmm

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Hope you have a good day <3💕

p.s. there are probably a LOT of grammatical errors here, I hope you won’t be too strict with this 🙏����

Let's Talk About Venus' Name and Where It Came From!

Okay, look, I PROMISE that I'll talk about Slash eventually, but I just had another great idea for Venus!

Granted, this is not my original idea, I was inspired by mad_and_thick_as_thieves' story, "Light When All Grows Dark," on Ao3. If you guys haven't read it already, I highly suggest you do. It's only 3 chapters long and insanely adorable.

But back to business! The story had me thinking of other ways Venus could have gotten her name.

As most of you know, in The Next Mutation TV show where was introduced, "Mei Pi Chi" was renamed "Venus de Milo," after the famous Greek sculpture by Alexandros of Antioch. In what is the most indicative move to describe the series overall, in a show with action fighters who are named after famous Renaissance artists, the one female fighter is named after a statue. It's almost poetic in its laziness.

So, to help combat the inherent problems with her name, I've come up with a few suggestions to establish how and why she was named "Venus," and how it adds more to her character

Here's my suggestion:

Venus was found with no arms.

The primary explanation I've thought of is that the lab explosion had, unfortunately, blown off her arms.

That, or it could be a birth defect. But I feel like the lab explosion would make more sense. It's horrific, but it makes sense.

So, like the beautiful statue she is named after, a symbol of grace, beauty, and strength, the little turtle was named "Venus."

Or better yet, as a nod to The Next Mutation (shocking that I'm referencing it, I know), whoever found her as an infant named her "Mei Pi Chi", and once she meets the family and wishes to adopt a new name, she, the boys, and Splinter agree on "Venus."

Now, I saw someone in the comments of the story suggest that Donnie would make her cool robot arms, but I have a better idea.

In my own headcanoned origin for Venus, she was found after the lab's demolition, either by Big Mama, my yokai cat interpretation of Chung I, or another magically-in tuned yokai. Therefore, I propose that Venus would create floating arms/hands herself, made out of magic.

Kind of like our buddy Rayman here!

Except light blue and magic-y.

So yeah! Venus was trained to fight with magic despite having no arms. This would show how strong and determined she is to whatever she puts her mind to, despite how difficult it may be considering the circumstances.

Once they all meet up and Venus becomes closer to the family, I have no doubt that Donnie would want to convince her to give his robotic prosthetic arms a try, maybe having them infused with her magic. That'd be pretty cool!

Obviously, they wouldn't treat her differently just because of her disability, but they acknowledge it and try to help out if they can.

Since she had to learn how to balance herself, as having arms helps to stabilize your balance, she can do anything that everyone else can do. Even so, anyone would be surprised by how incredibly graceful she is.

Author's Note: I know this one was short, but as soon as I read that fanfic, the inspiration took a hold on me. Anyway, what do you guys think? Again, I'll get to Slash soon. I haven't forgotten about him.

But for now, thank you so much for reading! I hope you all have a great day, and I'll see you guys later! Byeee! 💗💗
