Always personally believed the reason some of the best angst is found in rottmnt fandom is because the canon show is so silly imo, theres like the room for the horrors and everyone went "we can traumatize them :)"

honestly if the movie didnt exist i probably wouldnt have walked into the fandom more comfortable exploring darker topics in my work, i probably wouldve kept to stories with tone akin to cvd where things are more silly while occasionally dabbling into serious,,,, maybe its something about the movie willing to get more visceral that made it feel like an opening for me to really dig into these characters . like a juicy salad

but i consider the show a lot when i write as well!! i really love all the little subtle bits of characterization in the ways that they act and how much i can attribute that to little bits of angst. i will find it in anything if you leave me alone without food for long enough, and maybe its not that deep but its soft soil and brother I WILL START DIGGING!!!

i remember turtle dega nights really surprising me on my first ever watch though. donnie actually snapped and i was like Ohhhhhh SHIT!!!!
