#they had never done this before

[thankchaosforspellcheck]

Thinking about the "Rise!Mikey being a box turtle has serious effects on his ability to move to a new place after their lair is destroyed" setup and how it might be applicable to more iterations than rottmnt.

Like, we know 2003 & the 90s movies turtles moved house plenty of times (especially 2003. it seemed like they were getting a new lair every week sometimes) throughout their continuities.

Which makes sense! If your enemies have figured out where you live & all of your stuff gets wrecked in the process, the best course of action is to find a new place where that won't happen again (or at least take longer to happen than with the previous place).

And yet, time and time again, the 2012 and 1987 guys go back to the exact same lair and just. rebuild it. (or have it spawned back to normal by the next episode in 1987's case BUT STILL).

There are plenty of reasons for them to go back to the same place rather than find a new one, of course: emotional connection, it's logistically the easiest place to protect that they've found, the animators didn't want to learn how to draw a brand new place after who knows how many seasons of repetition, etc.

But there is so much potential in it being an instinct thing.

The shredder knows where you live.

The aliens actively hunting you down knows where you live.

Everyone you have ever faced has destroyed your home over and over again, using it to their advantage and capturing you all with little to no trouble because, again, they KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

This could all be solved just by moving even a couple blocks over to a different sewer canal, but you can't.

You can't even conceptualize it.

Splinter brings it up one time and never again. He can't bring himself to cause those looks a second time.

So you clean up the mess, help Donnie set up new & improved traps and security systems, and pray that this time they're enough to keep them safe.

But they never are.

ok so i just experienced what i think would be the climax of the film about my breakup

i just went to see neck deep and i was supposed to be going to this show with my ex for my birthday, but i went by myself because i’m not missing it because of him, and i crowdsurfed for the first time ever during the song “heartbreak of the century” and i don’t even feel like i’m real right now

i think a lot of people are calling viktor’s reaction to waking up changed and then almost immediately leaving for zaun unrealistic and like… yes it would be. for someone whose mind has not been affected by the hexcore. he speaks differently, he hears sky’s voice through its influence, he can no longer feel the cold, or the warmth of jayce’s hug. he walks away from jayce because he can no longer feel the affection that kept them together, and he sees no logical point in remaining when they have no common ground anymore. he might not be a machine externally, exactly, but his mind certainly isn’t human anymore.

I will die on the hill that this deserves a place amongst rankings of the saddest quotes in Crooked Kingdom:

“You don’t understand. It was me, I caused this”

- Wylan, chapter 14, when Jesper says he wants to feed Van Eck to the vultures for what he did to Marya.

vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.
