Took a bit of time to myself to finally sketch out my vision for Frida based off Andy Suriano’s Farewell. More design thoughts under the cut.

I know some were wary of her appearing too feminine, but honestly I enjoyed the challenge of finding a way to feminize the base turtle model and stay true to Andy’s wonderful design. I don’t want her to just look like her brothers in a show that embraces their differences.

The biggest thing I added to her design was an exposed heart. My own little twist inspired by a real life issue some turtles deal with as well as a fitting ode to the artist she is named after, Frida Kahlo, who often drew herself with her heart floating outside of her body. (And yes I made the creative decision to keep her heart at her center as with many turtles.)

This deformity occurred during her mutation where the sudden growth spurt tore open a hole at the seam of her plastron. She has survived as long as she has because of Big Mama who uses mystic wards to keep her heart physically safe and emotionally numb. If you look closely to her plastron in the show it’s not actually a natural body part but rather seems to be an attachment of her trench coat. Likely a false cover to hide her obvious weak spot (or at least that is my head canon!)

I love the idea of her and Donnie having something they can relate to and I’m sure he’ll be happy to design chest armor for her down the line once she’s free of Big Mama. Maybe someday I’ll figure out her full Mad Dogs outfit, but for now this is just her base and bandana.

As each of the boys embodies a shape, I found it all too fitting to have Frida’s be a heart. It’s honestly a cool shape that uses both rounded forms and sharp points, which I think would encapsulate her character well. Prickly on the surface but a softy deep down. I tried to find less typical ways of feminizing her. Sharpening her beak and digits while retaining the style of feminine eyes present in most of the female cast but matching it more closely to the unsettling shape of the eyes on her assistant’s mask.

Her markings are a color flip of Mikey’s, where as his are yellow spots with orange outlines hers are orange with yellow outlines. Coupled with her yellow eyes to match Donnie and Raph, it gives her this fiery vibe that I think still sets her far apart from Mikey.

The mask was honestly the hardest part. I love that it further accentuates her heart motif and made her more expressive, but just giving her the obvious bow and calling it a day did not sit well with me. I decided to try more of a high ponytail look, but I think it still needs some work. I’m pretty sure I like her with yellow though, both as a nod to Jennika and the idea of April giving her something of her own to help form the bond between the two.

Would love to flesh her out further but back to my usual stuff first.

"Advocating For Palestine" - a free 16-page booklet for Pro-Palestine allies, recommended by journalist bisan (wizard_bisan1). A basic primer.

Available Languages: English, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese.

Edit (June 15, 2024): This is an old post. The reblogs have been turned off for at least *months*. The reason is that, have come to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it to have such a flawed primer as an introduction.

A lot of the pamplet is true. However, there are parts of the pamphlet that are misinformative, requiring critical thinking and familiarity to recognize. And am disagree with the methods and priorities.

(e.g. like synonymizing indigeneity with "who was there first" and using a conspiracy theory to prove it. In actuality, indigeneity is a relation to colonialism as colonized vs colonizer. decolonize palestine addressed Israeli claims of indigeneity here much much better than the pamphlet did - identifying the claims as unnecessary *excuses* for genocide instead).

The primer also focuses on the idea of arguing against zionists as an important part of activism and as a way of "going against misinformation".

But as it stands right now: it is much more important to educate oneself, yet shut off engagement with zionists and their propaganda. To then instead focus on the affected. Palestinians. Meaning, not prioritizing your time on zionists.

Every information requires critical thinking sure, but of this primer's levels of flaws and different priority - isn't it better to just check the other resources in our pinned post instead? or better yet, the information of any major trustworthy Palestinian source and blogger even.
