All my homies hate TMNT 1997

[wilmvandrr]

the next mutation (1997) tmnt as humans!!

this is such a dumb adaption of tmnt it makes me cackle so much the costumes are elite and did not scare me as a child whatsoever

also venus best sassy lady in town she’s not here bc the series is for the boys

part 1 of all the tmnt adaptions as humans bc the vibe diff is different and i see em all differently

[snackugaki-jestsjapesjokes]

i am finally in 1/3 of a mood to finally get some of this down. kinda. hhhh

anyway my precious, beloved turtle daughter Mei Pieh Chi/Venus de Milo is a cultivator (sort of) and I am absolutely going to be fast, loose, and entirely lazy 'justifying' it because it's now 97 fuckenheit degrees outside.

first, point of contention, during the East Meets West five parter that served to introduce Venus she declares herself 'shinobi'. which, was so supremely silly and massively dependent on the audience of the time (late 90s U.S.A) being monolingual. mostly.

... that's more of a hindsight nitpick tbh. I mean Venus used 'shaman' interchangeably to refer to what she and Chung I were on the show so why wouldn't-- ahem. anyway.

(i know why but I'm not about to get into asian-american history and asian depiction in hollywood 101, it also just became 100 fuckenheit degrees.)

functionally in the show, the distinction between the boys being 'ninja' and venus being 'shinobi' started and stopped with venus' spirituality and attunement with the supernatural. she fought with punches and kicks like the boys, used her cape to fight and her kai mai balls like the boys used their signature weapons. (the shit with the fan was because her toy came with fans, she never actually fought with them in the show).

now onto the reasons why, for purposes of understanding original Venus' magic/mysticism and having a frame of reference, I would categorize her as a 'cultivator' rather than 'shinobi'/shaman.

though to clarify I wouldn't necessarily ascribe actual daoist cultivation with what Venus does. i mean sure she wears the taijitu on her arm. and her little leg garter but uhhhhhhh. considering what she actually does in the show plus the show's tone? i'd more easily say she's like a modern day xianxia cultivator.

look at her, i love her so much. and now

the list of shit Venus canonically did and said on the show about her 'magic'.

She was taught neigong techniques and,

She's part of a sect, to watch and guard against the return of evil dragons (she failed but)

She can uh... idk what this is, calling up an old version of yourself to call your current self cringe until you quit being The Shredder?

She can do the Jedi Mind Trick

She has a 'revealing' powder

She can astral project/plane walk

She's capable of time/space displacement

She develops her own techniques

She's got her collection of medicinal herbs

She's a linguist.

She has... uh. "Mandarin itch powder" (file under: Shit Before 2001)

She's skilled in telepathy!

Also uh "long distance telepathy" and i guess candy telelocation?

She employs kai mai balls (that are also used as glue traps, long range blunt force impact etc.)

She's trained in cape fighting

She's the team medic

She studies up because in-show she's a masterless student

She can decode mystical cyphers

She can pick locks with magic and with tools

She can cast Fireball, a very low level Fireball

Also telekinesis

and in 5e she'd be a Wizard

Does anyone here remember that weird tv series called The Next Mutation? I remember owning a set of four episodes on vhs when I was a kid

The memory of it came to me in a fever-induced dream

And I'd like to go back to forgetting about its existence

Even they look mad about their place in this world

You’re Also A Musician (Fluff?)

ShellsTourAU!Turtles x reader

A/N: In case any of you are wondering what the hell Thunderdome is, then I can tell you it is a party held in the city of Antwerpen in Belgium, and is very much tied to the grabber culture in the Netherlands. I will really recommend you look up the videos from the 1997 Thunderdome party, and while you watch that video, I would like you to know that, that is how parties at my high school looked like, and I went to high school in 2018 to 2021. The only difference being that instead of buzz cuts, guys in Denmark tend to have what we call curtain hair, and they don’t play grabber, but another hard bass genre called dakke dak, and do the bass arm instead of the hakken dance. Anyway, have fun with this one guys💚

(L/N) = Last name

(B/N) = Band name

Turtles and the reader are around the age of 18.

Warnings: A little bit of drinking, but other than that none💚

Leonardo:

Around the same time Leo and his brothers were getting their first footing in the music industry with their first major single, you had already slowly been making a name for yourself as a solo artist, with at least one number 1 hit in your home country.

You were known for making this sort of upbeat and happy music that many had gotten familiar with during the late 80’s. That meant a lot of synthesiser, drum machines, and a small one word choir.

You and Leo’s first meeting was one of those chance interactions, that only could come about because both of you happened to know someone, who knew someone, and now here you were, finding yourself in a deep conversation, which you both had been missing a lot in your new careers. You meet in a studio, where you happened to be working just down the hall from one another, resulting in you and him falling into conversation whenever you passed each other. It got to the point where Raph had to walk out and drag Leo back into the recording studio, in order to get any work done that day. However you would still find a way to see each other.

You and Leo started to work together on songs. Leo would help write yours and you would give him and his brothers ideas, causing the two of you to be written in the credits of each other’s songs.

It wasn’t long after that Leo invited you out on a date, and before you knew it, you were in a committed relationship. And it didn’t take long for the media to notice that as well, with rumors and questions swirling around, before the two of you had made anything official. It got to the point where paparazzis tried to take pictures of the two of you in secret. All they got from that, was a now infamous picture, of Leo giving a middle finger to the camera. When asked about it, he said he was just pointing upwards.

You and Leo finally made your relationship official, around the time you came out with yet another single that Leo had helped you write. And with that, you and Leo became one of the most popular couples on the front of gossip papers.

Raphael:

When you and Raphael first met, you were no strangers to each other. You were the lead singer in a rock band, which Raph had found himself listening to time and time again. And you had long been listening to Raph and his brothers in TMNT. So when the two of you finally met, you were mildly starstruck, showing a nervousness that was almost uncharacteristic.

Your first in person meeting happened at an award show, where you and Raph happened to have been seated next to each other. And there you sat throughout most of the show, with Raph and his brothers to your left, and the rest of your band to your right. And you had a great time with Raph, both of you whispering to each other, trying your best not to laugh or giggle at the people around you.

The next day you and Raph was a hot topic, with rumors and pictures of you and Raph at the award show in every gossip blotter there was: “Is (Y/N) (L/N)  from (B/N) and Raphael Hamato from TMNT dating?”, “Is there love in the air?”, “Flirting at the award show; is there something (Y/N) and Raphael would like to tell us?” and it just went on and on from there.

You and Raph kept in close contact after the award show, giggling and laughing and at all the headlines you could find, talking about the two of you. But as the two of you giggled and laughed, resting your feet on the coffee table, reading out the headlines and articles, neither of you were ready to admit how you wished the headlines were real. You and Raph had started to crush on each other behind closed doors, and was just waiting and gathering the courage to tell one another.

Then finally, after months of you and Raph meeting and hanging out in secret, you finally started dating. And with you and Raph going out for dates, it was only a matter of time before a picture of the two of you kissing, on your way home from a dinner date, was on the front covers. And with that, you two were out in public as a couple.

Donatello:

You were part of a girl pop group that had been popular for years, throwing out one smash hit after another, sharting number one in several countries around the world. So when Donnie and his brothers smashed through with their first hit and became a world wide name, he very much knew who you were and what you did.

It had long - even before their music careers took off - been a running joke between Donnie’s brothers, that you and Donnie one day would get married. In response Donnie would throw something light at them and tell them to shut up, trying his best to hide the small smile that was fighting to take hold of his lips.

However the first time there ever was talks about you and Donnie meeting each other, was after you and your group did an interview with MTV, where one of your band members had let it slip that you had a celebrity crush on a member of TMNT. That of course caused the interviewer's eyes to go wide with dollar signs, before they asked you about it. And that was when you let the cat out of the bag, and told the whole wide world that you were crushing on the mutant in purple.

The tabloids picked up on the story straight away, asking the all important question; when were you and Donnie going to have your first date? It quickly became this public thing, with a few people even betting on time, day and location.

In the end, a radio show took over while having Donnie and his brothers in the studio. And to the sound of Leo, Raph and Mikey’s calls at a much flustered Donnie, the host called you, so that the world once and for all, could get a long awaited answer to the question.

It was during that interview that you and Donnie agreed to plan out a date in private. And it was that date that would be the start to you and Donnie’s long lasting relationship.

Michelangelo:

You and Michelangelo’s relationship was one of those that everyone had seen coming from several miles away, and surprised absolutely no one when it became official.

You were a somewhat well known rave and techno DJ in the community, often rubbing shoulders with many other well known or up and coming DJs from all over the world. You were especially popular in parts of Europe, with your more experimental music often associated with growing music trends on the European continent.

In 1992 you found yourself as one of the headliners at the Thunderdome party in Antwerpen in Belgium, where you finally came through with some more grabber inspired music. It was here that you met Michelangelo. After your set, Mikey and a few of his friends came up to talk to you and your friends. From here you had a few drinks and enjoyed the rest of the part together.

When it came out that 18 year old and American Michelangelo Hamato from the TMNT had been drinking and partying in Belgium alongside an 18 year old DJ, there was a little bit of a scandal surrounding it, with some righteous parents doing what they do best, and scream up about how the music of TMNT was no longer suitable for their children to hear, and how the four it boys of the US were becoming a bad influence. But the thing more people were talking about, was the question on everybody’s lips. Who was that DJ Mikey had been partying with, before spending two weeks with them in Europe?

People were quick to put two and two together, and came to the conclusion that you and Mikey were seeing each other. However, people were still wondering who you were.

They finally got the answer to that question around a year later, when Mikey was asked about you in an interview. It was here that he officially made it known that your name was (Y/N), and that you in fact was his partner. And to no one's surprise, the gossip papers the next day all read the headline “It was true all along; Michelangelo has a partner!”

Tychou, but she was intended to be the first animated female turtle. But since Mr Laird sexualised her, thinking tmnt should never start a family, he didn't allowed that happen. And went more, that he didn't allowed for her second episode.

He had that same bad taste for the next official female turtle Venus De Milo -Mei Pieh Chi. (Having a female in a male team was actually unavoidable since every good show had at least one token female character).

"Too long don't read":

Aka, let me go off topic to my original question, Tychou,

For I have some comments about Laird and his direct tmnt 2003 creation

❇️📛2003 tmnt, his direct influence, was a pretty good and decent show. It really stayed bold and took its path and everything. ⏸️🏏⏯️ He also had a blind spot as a person, because he was negatively wired to the previous cartoon. (It showed in the cartoon. Like Raph hit Mickey when he said "Turtle Power". The previous show had that catch-call. It went hard to avoid the previous 1987 tmnt lore and influence.)

❇️He also allowed female characters to normally exist. For a male-centered superhero show, he generated backgrounds and abilities in its female characters unlike other superhero shows that were male-centered. Like the young and strong lady, blind and old lady, fierce and strong mom, programmer later fighter woman, a mechanical life inventor, strong bold and inventive monster hunter, gender-ambiguous monster woman, leader of the country and warrior women.

Hello.

How are you?

I have an idea for Mona Lisa.

Tell me your thoughts.

Since the female turtle ban is over. She can be more a female turtle and be named after a "Frankenstein's Monster" autor Marry Shelly what do you think? And she is an artist, like living marks on desks of a mysteriously smirking woman.

Sounds like you're trying to make an OC, not a Mona Lisa. Which is totally cool. I think you should explore that idea as a character. As for me, I love Mona as a lizard girl of one kind or another. And will probably always keep her that way. At least for my little corner of the fan community. Thank you for the ask!

[angelpuns]

I’m not trying to be mean but why did you change their last name? I know the fandom researched it and it’s known as a “fake name” but it’s a real Japanese name, just rare. No matter the era it’ll still exist, just in rare instances.

I really hope this doesn't come across as mean or super conceited or anything cause I am not an expert, but I have done a ton of research for this au and I want to make it as accurate as possible! I'm not upset or anything either I just want to be extremely clear about.

Okay I wanted to answer this with as much research as possible, because although you are technically right ( there are 100 households in Japan with the surname Hamato as of 1997)

There are other things to consider for this au, such as it being set in the 30s/40s as well as how old Yoshi's family is. Since his family goes back several generations, it'd make sense for him to have an older, more common name. Hamamoto still isn't extremely common, but it's significantly more common than Hamato.

The other thing is that a few points kept popping up when doing research and they are

1- these two surnames mean almost the exact same thing

2- When TMNT was aired in Japan for the first time, they specifically changed the Japanese names to more realistic ones.

3- The creators of TMNT have said that they just made the names up.

I will say also that in that 1997 Japanese National Census, they have a note that explains for the reader to be cautious of nicknames/pen names/stage names because people can and will put those names rather than their birth names/actually surnames, so there's no way to know for sure about those 100 households ( maybe more since its been several years but still)

So basically I changed it because I wanted it to more accurate to the language and the era in which the au takes place. I'm not saying this is all 100% certain as far as my research goes, I've done my best and this was the conclusion I came up with.

And again I'm not Japanese myself, so all my information comes from research and what I have learned of the language.

Also sorry if this comes off as mean or conceited or anything I just made that choice for a reason and ahsdhdhfhrhr I don't want to come off as mean

A Categorical Way of Designating the Multiverse By Donatello Hamato (through a meta lense but that breaks the fourth wall shhh)

The Different Centuries: 1900s: 19 2000s: 20 Different Continuities: TMNT: Designation N Samurai Rabbit: Designation S (it's so intertwined it gets to be included outside of crossovers) The Comic Continuities: Designation C Mirage: 1984 Usagi Yojimbo: 1984 Image: 1996 IDW: 2011 The Live-Action Continuities: Designation L 1st Film: 1990 Next Mutation Series: 1997 Bayverse: 2014 The Animated Continuities: Designation A The First: 1987 The Second: 2003 SR 2003 Crossover: 2004 The Animated Movie: 2007 CGI: 2012 SR 2012 Crossover: 2017 Rise: 2018 Batman vs TMNT: 2019 The Usagi Chronicles: 2022 Mutant Mayhem: 2023 Tales of the TMNT: 2024 The Bad Future Continuities: Designation B 2k3: 2005 2k12: 2017 Ronin: 2020 Rise: 2022

Example of the format: Rise would be designation N-20-A-18

Crossovers: Designation O (Overlap) I'm not going to go into all of these since it's a lot, but the year will be the year of their crossover with the TMNT, not their creation Example: IDW/ Batman: 2015 >> O-20-C-15
