#tmnt age discourse

[sewerpeaches]

The Answer to the Age Old Question:

Who is older, Donatello or Raphael?

The long answer that you didn't come here for is: it depends on the continuity. So you can find my breakdowns for each continuity here (eventually).

The short answer:

Donatello

Why?

#1. "Word of God" #2. IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011), volume 5 #3. Character/family/team dynamics #4. Aesthetics

~ 1 ~

For those unfamiliar with the term, the Word of God is "A statement regarding some ambiguous or undefined aspect of a work, the Word of God comes from someone considered to be the ultimate authority, such as the creator, director, writer or producer of a TV show / video game / film / etc."

With that in mind, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird co-created Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1984. Unlike a fair amount of co-created series, TMNT is actually an evenly split brain-child (ie neither Eastman nor Laird seems to be any more responsible for or involved in its creation/production/etc than the other).

On August 14, 2014, Kevin Eastman stated "I'm going to take a bold step and say Donatello is older" during a Reddit AMA .

I couldn't find so much as a whiff of Peter Laird's explicit opinion on the matter (for all my searching... and there was a lot), but that also means that I never found him contradicting Kevin Eastman's statement. (More subjectively, Laird seems to have essentially directed the 2k3 run and I'll post my take on why 2k3 has peak little-brother Raph energy here (eventually))

At any rate, if you're the type of person who accepts the "Word of God" at face value, then continue no further! I, however, don't do that—hence why this is only reason 1 of 3 (4).

~ 2 ~

If you're not familiar with IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011) then read it, because it's phenomenal, it's the franchise's longest running piece of media ever and up until volume 100, original co-creator Kevin Eastman co-wrote the series and collaborated on page layouts. The much acclaimed Last Ronin, the first thing written by both Eastman and Laird since the original Mirage run, is set in the IDW-verse as its own version of SAINW.

The premise of the IDW run is that Splinter's and the Turtles' souls are reincarnated from those of a human family that lived in feudal japan (yes it sounds stupid, but it's touched on very little and is executed surprisingly well). And that means that the Turtles' corresponding human-selves are all visibly different ages (because unlike turtles, it's not so common for humans to have quadruplets).

So when we see the Turtles' human selves in volume 5...

It's clear in both appearance and mannerisms that Don is older than Raph.

They're definitely the closest in age of the siblings, but still most assuredly different ages.

Besides Raph being smaller than Don with shorter and chubbier limbs, his hairstyle also strikes me as more baby-like (kinda like the ancient version of the ponytail parent's give their 1 year olds when they don't have enough hair yet to actually do anything with). His mannerisms also lend themselves to that of a younger child—more sleepy, much more oblivious to his surroundings, and more clingy. Don's also shown to be able to stand, while Raph seems like he might not be able to yet.

~ 3 ~

This reason is subjective, which is why I've listed it last and need more space to elaborate on it. You'll find the unabridged version on my blog at some point under this tag (eventually), because I simply have Too Many Thoughts™ to contain within a post not dedicated specifically to it.

The short of it is: Donatello's character has always seemed to be designed around being second-in-charge—both in team and family contexts.

I don't think anyone would argue against the fact that Don is the go-to turtle. Doesn't matter what continuity you look at, when Leo anyone runs into a problem, they turn to Don.

You could argue that Donnie's the smart one and "so it only makes sense to turn to him to fix a problem" (and that's a bit of a catch-22 that I'll talk about in more detail in the unabridged version!). However... he's not a real person and so him being the smart one that characters always turn to when Leo falters (including Leo!) is a deliberate choice by the creators. And in the context of the The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's very traditional operating style—with heavy emphasis on hierarchy by age, blood, etc.—it's very telling.

Were they a real family, yes, they would have developed their personalities/aptitudes mostly independently of their birth order, but given that specifically assigning children roles/ideals based on birth order is a significant player in Japanese culture (especially ancient Japanese culture which pertains to ninjitsu on which TMNT is based)... well... (I mean just look at how Splinter treats Leo).

Anyway, looking at the TMNT franchise as a whole, the advancement of the plot, in 9/10 cases, hinges on Don coming up with a solution either (1) via Leo coming up with something, pointing him in a direction, and asking "Don can you make [insane thing] work?" or (2) when Leo stalls entirely and Don has to take over. And though it's a formula, it's a formula with a million different permutations so it stays interesting.

Raph's role is to go into a berserker rage and brute force a second-wind powerup when when fighting is the only option. He's as the one who makes the first option work when Leo & Don are stuck and he has to, not the one who comes up with the second option. And, narrative-wise, it would be boring and lazy for the Turtles to only ever brute force plan A. (Happy to say I wrote this before I saw Laird say the same thing about Raph (bottom of #55))

That very distinct chain-of-command is why we get things like this, which is much more interesting and satisfying than beat-the-thing-until-it-stops:

The same follows in terms of family dynamics. Leo & Raph are simply too similar for the family to feel "balanced" if they're the two eldest brothers. There's no functionality in a family where 1 & 2 are providing nothing different or, worse, butting heads. Don holds the emotional stability of the family in the palm of his hand, largely just by existing as the buffer between Leo & Raph (we all know what happens in SAINW).

And, just from a characterization perspective, it seems much more natural for Raph to turn to Don for comfort than vice versa.

(Again, I'm gonna just... aggressively point to IDW.)

I'll go into this much more in the unabridged version, but I wanted to touch upon it here: setting Don aside for a moment, I see so many people argue for Raph being the second son based entirely upon his attitude towards Leo and ignoring everything and everyone else. It sorta drives me insane, tbh. I think it's a wildly shallow interpretation of his character.

Raph's entire hang-up is not around being second best, it's around being denied authority/autonomy in general—you know, stemming from being a mutant and being banned from doing 9/10 things he'd like to? That's why we see him fighting with Leo; Leo is the only authority he can fight (putting aside crime syndicate-type authority which he also fights obv). But more importantly, we also see him exerting as much power as he can by playfully, not cruelly bullying Mikey //glares at 2k12 (and in more source-compliant adaptations, yes, it is only Mikey that he truly messes with //glares harder at 2k12) or going off solo.

As much as I love 2k7, specifically the Leo/Raph dynamic, it's not actually a good representation of their real relationship—more of a spin-off "what if" (which Laird has also said). And 2k12 is ok plot-wise, but as far as I'm concerned it mostly fails at creating any compelling character dynamics and it crashes and burns in terms of staying true to source material. C':

Finally, I will end this post with my strongest argument for Don being second-eldest...

How do you feel about Leosagi?

TL;DR - It's not for me. I tend to not like romance/shipping. There is very little case for it in canon, and in fandom I don't like it when a character is utilized only for romantic/shipping purposes, which Usagi often is.

Read below the page break for details:

I tend to not be involved in shipping discourse, and most of the time I do not enjoy romance, whether it be in fandoms or in general media. I especially do not like it when there seems to be no evidence for the romance involved other than the creator wanting the characters to be romantic and deciding from the get-go who winds up with whom without the proper set-up or chemistry.

When it comes to fan ships, the greater the ratio between the amount of a certain ship that I see in a fandom and the amount of actual romantic moments shown in the source media there is, the greater the annoyance I have for seeing said ship.

Usagi doesn't appear a whole heck of a lot in TMNT as a whole. He's there in maybe a handful of episodes at most. Whenever he does appear he is either a much older adult and/or has rather equal screentime with all the turtles. The most Leo-Usagi interactions that can be seen in the franchise is in 2003. Usagi's age in that version is also dubious (but it can be argued either way, and I'm not gonna police a gray area like that). Regardless, their interactions are very obviously not romantic. So, for the canon, there doesn't seem much going for them there.

So this very much is a case of the fandom largely pushing the two swordsmen together. And that's where my initial problem with romance is - I don't like it when a character is created/utilized purely for romantic purposes. This is essentially what Leosagi is (and it's also why I tend to dislike a lot of OCs created purposefully to ship with a canon character). To me that's just bad writing, because you are deciding on the result of the relationship before actually putting the work in to create the romantic dynamic. It feels like the equivalent of a kid smacking their dolls together and saying "kiss". But I digress.

Usagi has his own backstory, his own character, and his own comic. It is a disservice to his character and to the comic that he comes from to essentially ignore that just for romance. Sometimes I get the feeling that folks don't even know that the comic Usagi Yojimbo exists, nor the fact that it is as old as TMNT and has its own separate storyline. I highly doubt most of those shipping Leosagi have actually read them.

Truth be told, I have been getting more and more annoyed at the ship the more and more I see it, because of the above reasons. To be clear, if you want to ship them, that's not my call; do whatever you want. It's just really not for me.

DNI:

I don’t have much in the way of special DNI criteria and am actually open to interacting with most people. That said, proship (that includes incest, pedophilia, zoophilia, and the like) and nsfw centric blogs should steer clear. If you mess with my friends you should also steer clear, I already don’t like you. Other varieties of jerks/bigots shouldn’t interact but if you do just be very aware that I try and reblog lots of stuff against that sorta ideology so you can just go ahead and leave.

BYF:

I’m an adult. I will reblog nsfw jokes from time to time and I swear a lot. I’m not a stickler on who follows me and stuff but this IS a heads up that minors should tread lightly as should people who are upset/triggered/repulsed by any nsfw themed content whatsoever. I also am not always as on top of discourse as I should be. I will make mistakes from time to time and would really appreciate it if y’all told me when I do smth wrong so I can work on not doing that again. If I reblog smth from a bad source, let me know and I will fix it/remove the post.

It might be because of Rise, But What the heck is going with the tmnt fandom? Like where is all this hate coming from in reference to be people shipping themselves with the turtles? Like i could understand if it was about them Actually being Turtles but its not. its about aging them up, its about TMNT x Reader in any form of relationship like not even just smut and i don't understand it. I was 10 when the 2007 movie came out and i INSTANTLY fell in love with Ralph, 15 when when 2012 show came out and i shipped myself so hard with Leo Like the fanfics that I've read would make anyone blush. Now that I'm older I may not be as much of fangirl over them but like i still like reading an ''X Reader" from time to time but I've been seeing so much hate for even thinking about aging them up. Like if this is something you've grown up with you're going to age them up and see how they would live life at an older age. Besides we have multiple iterations of the Turtles as Adults sooo I just thought you might know why or could give some kind of explanation of where this distain is coming from. I feel like its because the Rise Turtles are the youngest acting iteration we've seen so far. But as a fandom elder I'm kind of confused.

what in the tarnation...

That was quite a read this morning xD

First of all, I dunno why I would have an answer, to be honest. I'm basically just a 30 years something goblin that stays in her corner and keep on doing her things without attracting drama and hate 🤷‍♀️ I got no time and energy for that.

Second, people will be people. Simple as that. Not everyone has the same tastes. Not everyone will like the same things. For instances, I'm personally not a huge fan of nsfw content for the other iterations of TMNT - I wouldn't touch Rise with a 10 feet pole in regards to creating nsfw content. The Bayverse ones are the only ones because they appeal to my creativity. They look good. And frankly it's easier to imagine that iteration to be close to my age (personally, I HC Donnie to be my age when I write and draw stuff about him....).

I have indeed seen a lot of discourse about that matter on some corners of the internet. Both sides makes sense, but what matters most in the end is that as long as no one hurts anyone, it's all fine and dandy. Heck, we are responsible for our own internet experience. That's something a loooooot of people tend to forget, hence why they bring down the so called "hammer of justice" on others and try to control what they post about.

Bullshit on that. Do what makes you happy.

Do the stuff for you. Don't harm minors. And especially don't push your content to people who may be unwilling to accept it. As long as people are not writing and/or drawing the gang as minors, then I don't see the issue.

I've had my fair share of fandom bullshit. I now know that this experience is my own, I can shape it however I want, and I can share it however I want. People who happen to like my stuff are only a added bonus.

Sparking list

Very long posts, mainly lists bc I love making lists

Hypergore sparks

Pertaining to gore, body horror, and violence. Heavy warning for suicide, overstimulation, revenge, murder, and healing. I don't like real gore very much unless it's like, raw meat. I do like prop gore, art, poetry... needlessly violent sensual shit.

Five Nights at Freddy's Kin

This is an intro post for this blog! Please read/ skim over if you want to send in asks!!

This blog was definitely inspired by @/fictionkinfessions go check them out :3

What are kins/ fictives?

This blog is for any FNAF kins! If you want to know more about kins click here or here or here! Of course I would recommend doing your own research but I recommend these links to start! And if you want to know more about introjects/ fictives click here or here or here!

(Note: I am not a system/ part of a system, so if these links are harmful in any way I will take them down)

Rules for asks

I have quite a few rules for asks/ answers to asks which are:

Do not use your own blog, only use anon

If you want to differentiate yourself from other Anons you can use sign offs. For example: Freddy (🐻🎤). I will make a master list eventually to show which emoji (combos) are taken

This blog is for all ages, if you talk about NSFW in your asks please keep it as vague as possible

Only use the asks box if you are a FNAF kin/ fictive etc.

Do not bring discourse onto my blog please, if you do you will be ignored/ deleted

If looking for canon mates, or source mates please try your best to describe in detail who you are looking for and your canon.

If you fine someone from your canon from an ask interact in the post in some way to let the asker know that you are what they are looking for. Do not interact with posts searching for canon/ source mates if you do not apply to what they are looking for.

Delusional attachments are welcome to interact but please do not send asks, this is a blog for kins (umbrella term) and fictives/ introjects. Please respect this

Do not use any special fonts in your asks, and if you use typing quirks please provide a translation

This list may be updated as seen fit in the future!!
