As we know, in 2012 TMNT Tang Shen was Yoshi's wife (?) and in rottmnt she is Yoshi's co-star... Do you think BM was jealous of Yoshi and Shen? I think so. And she doesn't care that Shen and Lou are friends from college.

Sketch for this amazing project

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

with Luo Qingyang and Lou Binghe having the same last name I got start thinking of an au: like what if lbh was her little brother

I wanted to give this a genuine answer but I kept getting distracted by Lou Binghe...so...yeah.

Yue Qingyuan casually thinking he'd rather die than exist without Shen Jiu:

Shen Jiu, dead but still around and busy fist fighting the system: DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE

Ten people already found dead the day shen qingqiu becomes comfortable enough with his sexuality and marriage to start using flirting on purpose as a form of comedy.

Rise introduced various new characters, but something that I found kind of interesting was that one Rise character seemed to kind of fill part of a role that is kind of usually filled by another character in other iterations of TMNT.

Splinter: Big Mama and I were inseparable

Within Rise, Big Mama is not only one of the Turtle’s enemies but she also fills another role of previously being Splinter’s past love but when it comes to Hamato Yoshi’s past love interests in previous iterations of TMNT Hamato Yoshi’s past love is usually a character named Tang Shen.

Throughout the many iterations of TMNT a recurring character that has been brought up is Tang Shen who is either the love interest or wife of Hamato Yoshi, in various iterations Tang Shen is also involved in a love triangle involving Hamato Yoshi & a third member.

In the IDW comics Tang Shen is the wife of Splinter’s past life & the mother of the Turtle’s past lives.

With Tang Shen having previously been kind of consistently been Hamato Yoshi’s love interest in previous iterations of TMNT it kind of makes me wonder why Rise decided to not have Tang Shen be Hamato Yoshi’s love interest which made me kind of wonder if Big Mama might have possibly been meant to be the Rise version of Tang Shen considering that we do not really hear Big Mama’s real name however I kind of found out that Rise actually does have it’s own iteration of Tang Shen

In Rise Tang Shen actually does kind of get a brief mention in the episode Hot Soup the Game as she is shown to be one of Lou Jitsu’s co-stars when Foot Brute & Foot Lieutenant are telling Casey about Lou Jitsu.

Tang Shen being Lou Jitsu’s co-star & possibly in movie love interest might possibly be a slight reference to how Tang Shen is kind of typically Hamato Yoshi’s love interest in previous iterations of TMNT

Why Tang Shen is soo interesting to me

Okay with all the Nameless Trio content I’ve been posting I feel the need to let you guys know why I find Shen so interesting. This may be a long one but I have LOTS of thoughts so please hang tight.

“If we interfere Splinter will never move to New York and buy four baby turtles”

Donnie in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) S3 E19

First of all Shen is literally the reason the story happens in most iterations. If it weren’t for her death, Hamato Yoshi likely never would’ve moved to New York, never bought the turtles, and they never would’ve gotten mutated. Without her there’d be no story. And yet she’s barely ever mentioned in canon.

Now I could talk for ages about fridging women and why it’s a stupid out-dated, over-used, misogynistic trope. And I’m not even going to pretend that’s not what happened to her. But one of the main problems with fridging is the fact that after the woman’s death sets the plot into motion (usually for some sort of love interest) she’s eventually forgotten by the plot. Women in fiction deserve better treatment than that. Real women deserve better representation than that.

However there’s another way that characters who die before the story starts can be utilized. One that I’m absolutely OBSESSED with. And that is the idea of haunting the narrative. Two of the best examples that I can think of are Mara from She-Ra and Caleb Wittenbane from the Owl House. Both characters are dead before the series begins. For a while the only way that we know about them is through what the other characters tell us. And, of course, this is a very biased view of the person. Sometimes it’s very one dimensional. 

But even though we know almost nothing about them, they linger. They are everywhere in the story. So many things only happen because of them. Memories of Caleb are everywhere in Phillip’s mindscape. Hunter’s entire life is dictated by the memory of a man who died hundreds of years ago. And even the door, the things that brings Luz the the Boiling Isles and sets the whole story into motion only is opened for her because Caleb stole it from Belos and buried it in the backyard of his family home. We don’t know much about Mara but we know that Adora is in a way doomed to follow in her footsteps. 

“In every other universe Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man. And in every other universe…it doesn’t end well.”

Spider-Gwen in Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

So we’ve talked about out-of-universe stuff. But what about what’s in the actual story? Due to the crossovers we know that all the iterations of TMNT sort of exist in the same way all the universes exist in the Spider-Verse world. They all have their own dimension. I can’t help but think of the parallels not only between the worlds but the characters who live within them. Gwen Stacy dies in every universe but one. She knows this. Unfortunately, the universe where she survives isn’t exactly kind to her. She loses her best friend. She loses Miles. She loses her father. She loses any chance at having a normal life. 

In 2012 the turtles have a conversation with Shen where she is trying to pick between Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi. Of course they don’t know this at the time, but one of the choices will lead to her death. However, it will also lead to the world being saved from a variety of threats. But what if she did know? What if Shen knew that she would be sacrificing herself? What if she knew that in every other universe she was doomed to die? In every universe but one, that is.

Tang Shen is never said to be dead in ROTTMNT. But we only see her once in a movie poster. We know she exists but she has no relevance. As far as we know, she’s out there living her best life. So what is she like? What would a person be like in the one universe where she gets to live?

I really hope this wasn’t too long but thank you so much for reading this whole thing! If you want some content about Rise!Shen then visit the Nameless Trio tag on my blog, she’s one of the three main characters in that au.

What if TMNT took place in Brasil?

I made this redraw of one of Joseph Leyendecker illustrations 'cause I wanted to draw this villain couple

In my au Tang Shen (Big Mama) and Oroku Saki (The Shredder) are an evil couple

Together in life and crime

*grips Shen Qingqiu by the shoulders*

aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to crack under the pressure of the system and the robbed autonomy of being forced into a role you had no choice in but have to play anyways? don't you want to buckle under the realization that, to you, no matter what you do your life is going to end in a horrific death? Whether that be under Luo Binghe's hands or the System's?

Don't you want to realize that no matter all the good you have done and the lives you have changed and saved, you're still standing at the ledge of a cliff with a sword to your disciple's chest?

Shouldn't it be you at the edge instead? Balancing on the crumbling dirt's end of death on either side, and you can either walk into it or be forced?

don't you want to go apeshit?

Last week I forgot I was summoned to Jury Duty, luckily I made it in time sadly I was selected (T ^ T) now I’m an alternative and forgot if I should talk about the case or should I wait for their call (°▽°)

I tried to rest my hand but that lasted for like three days (・・;) I downloaded Clip Studio and I was playing with it. Stay tuned on my TikTok, I’ll be posting a animatics soon.

Please enjoyed these doodle (*^▽^*)
