I can’t fucking find the post and it’s pissing me off bc I wanna talk abt it so much but. It was like “why is Raph the only one allowed to be sweet and nuanced in fics? Why are the others so generic?” And honestly it’s straight up because he’s less popular when it comes to the fandom.

Donnie is two steps away from becoming The Onceler 2: Purple Edition. Leo is everyone’s favorite sassy bitch. Mikey is a sweetheart that people only see as A) a baby who does art or B) a “cinnamon roll who could kill you LOL”

I don’t know if it’s just my bias, but from what I’ve seen, Raph gets sidelined CONSTANTLY.

In my experience, new fanworks start to get stale once the character they’re about gets super popular. This isn’t me trying to shit on people who like said characters, or those characters themselves. This is me trying to point out something that I think a lot of people overlook.

The reason a lot of (specifically Donnie-centric) fics/headcanons/art feel unoriginal or flat is because some of the people who start making them just want to get popular, and don’t actually genuinely care about the character. So they jump on every new Internet favorite, try to throw in every trope that they know will get likes, and the people who do actually love the character get overshadowed.

The reason that a lot of Raph-centric stuff is more nuanced and thought-out is because the people making it are making it out of genuine love for the character, whereas a lot of specifically Disaster Twins stuff is made because people know it’s gonna get attention.

Mikey is a mixed bag. I think the main reason Mikey-centric fics aren’t as nuanced is because people just straight up don’t know how to write him. I know I tend to think of him as “just a little guy” but honestly, he’s got a lot going on, and people (myself included) don’t know how to focus on that. They don’t know what to do to make him original and not just a cut-out of “sweet guy who loves you” trope.

I’m not very good at communicating my points, but I hope I got something across here.

Your boy is no longer cooking. Your boy actually has no idea what he’s doing anymore. The kitchen is on fire and I dropped the food.

I fucked up sewing on the rainbow and striped patches so now I’m having a little bit of a crisis and more or less scrapped my original idea, so this is what we’re working with now.

I genuinely can’t wait to be done with these back patches so I can start sewing all the pop tabs to the shoulders, bc that’s gonna look so fucking cool.

Other projects:

Got a new backpack so I decided to bedazzle it with patches, pins, and gimp crafts made at a summer camp. The lil mushroom guy used to live on my flannel jacket.

And I got a really awesome pair of jeans for Christmas, but sadly they don’t fit, so I’m fixing that. It looks kinda shitty rn but that will (hopefully) change. The leather bits are from a thrifted belt that was kinda falling apart.

Speaking of my flannel.

I fixed a hole in the elbow and put a bigass patch on the back (which I accidentally sewed a little too high)

The garbage paint pants are going along great too. I definitely paid for this patch and it 100% isn’t shoplifted from Hot Topic.

I’m a little nervous about the sides of these pants though. The plaid fabric is really shitty and thin and it’s starting to rip, so I might get some thicker fabric to reinforce it.
