March for Raph is coming up!!

In March

like in the name

Anyway!

What's March for Raph? A list of 31 prompts (words or short phrases) for the month of March, all Raph centric, open to any iteration. You can draw, make gifs, write stories, write essays, short videos, whatever you can think of! No pressure at all to complete all the prompts, it's less of a checklist more of an inspiration board. The point is just to celebrate a character we love and also meet other Raph fans, that's really the best part.

Check out the tag #march for raph to see what it was like last year (we'll use the same tag this year). I'll be checking the tag daily when March comes to make sure everyone's stuff gets shared, please also feel free to @ me in case anything doesn't show in tags

This wasn't even remotely an issue last year but since I just invited all whoever to @ me I should add: I won't be reblogging tcest, x reader, anything excessively violent or sexual. Keep it clean pretty please

Here's the updated prompt list for 2025; I'll link this post in pinned so it's findable, and will be trying to keep it circulating these next couple of months (tell your friends!)

I've had the tmnt coffee shop au in drafts for a while and finally realized, this story doesn't belong in that format.

Instead, I'm trying out a sideblog. Coming up I'll be posting a menu. Then, whenever The Serene Bean is open, I'll post who's on the clock and open asks. You can order (you have to use your imagination to pretend you're drinking your order) or just start up a conversation. Sometimes you might also see a post about what characters are customers at the moment, and can use asks or replies to talk with them as well.

I’m the wrong person to ask to be objective about next mutation because every night when I can see the planet Venus in the sky I blow it a kiss because I am think abt her

[ketchup-the-kid]

a doodle comic of everyone's favorite girl

[deadlyflan]

In her debut series, Mei Pieh Chi's (Venus') culture & past were barely explored. The Next Mutation just didn't spend much time establishing her home or her father. Since she loses those so suddenly and so profoundly, it has to have had an enormous impact on her character and her perspective.

In Balance The Scales, my 2012 AU/mashup fic, the post-season-5-ish Turtles have also experienced an incredible loss. Their own father died violently not too long ago. So many of the big adventures that dominated their lives for so long are concluded. An aspect of directionlessness permeates their home.

The parallel losses of their father figures and their way of life will provide an understanding between Venus and the 2012 turtles even through barriers of language and culture.

That's what I'm excited to share: finding, against all odds, family again.

But also, they wreck a whole cargo ship and learn to fight with qi energy and they battle a god-tier dragon, so those are cool, too, I guess. 😉

thanks awz. they’re everything i tbink ablut now.

[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

[theblorboscalledtheturtles]

you've been visited by the money Leo. You don't get any money if you reblog tho but just look at this guy

[skythealmighty]

i need to stop making tmnt aus. anyway you guys can figure out what timeline this is

[yellowhollyhock]

was thinking about 2012 turtles and next mutation turtles, especially if they have another group with them who knows Karai

12 turtles talking about their long-lost sister and NM being like 'finally we found another dimension with Venus' and 12 turtles are Ah well she has a different name it seems, and NM turtles are oh yeah yeah yeah of course we call her Venus, her name is Mei Pieh Chi

And 12 turtles are ??? okay I mean I guess. our dad named her Miwa

And NM turtles are wdym your dad named her? your dad Splinter? did she not get separated till later? bringing out the whole shredder backstory (as well as the Dad is Hamato Yoshi vs Dad was Hamato Yoshi's pet rat) and inciting a panic probably from just some of the more easily frazzled members of both groups like Does that mean there might be another one? How many long-lost sisters do we have?!

And 03 and rise are chilling with popcorn like Our sister,, is April

[whattraintracks]

40th anniversary!

okay, 1, 6 and 31 :D

1.) What was your first exposure to TMNT?

2012!

6.) Do you own any TMNT merchandise?

I do!! Show and tell time:

My stepdad bought me this shirt once he and my family realised I was in this TMNT fixation to stay XD

My brother got me these two Mutant Mayhem posters that I forgot about until last month. They now live on my bulletin board

This is the same brother who once tricked me into buying this pin from him

31.) What is one piece of TMNT canon that you dislike/ignore?

Um, *looks at The Next Mutation* okay, I love TNM, but there are some things in that iteration I prefer to forget exist. Chief among them is when Leo claims they aren't brothers because they're not blood-related only so the show can set Venus up as a love interest. Unoriginal but it's been on my mind after reading the follow-up letters, because Donnie's first letter is particularly loud and uncomfortably icky feeling about this point.

[savlikesfairytales]

I still need to watch the next mutation more anyways I really like the little sister venus au thing, Also for some reason I was very interested in making the bandanas like into hairstyles but I'm bad at it so I went simpler. I read a bayverse fic on lil sis venus, it was very cute. Too bad there isn't much more or-Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Anyways, This is a bit old but I still like it. I have more drawings of Venus I'll probably post later. If my phone charges at least.

ranking the tmnt shows based on plot writing, character writing, and what my preferences are:

first off, plot writing

6, tnm

idk what to put here.

5, 2012

it really sucks because its first season’s writing is unironically my favorite writing in the franchise. but then the show steadily gets messier and more inconsistent writing as it goes forward. especially in season 4. i wish i could defend it more but it is at the bottom for me. besides tnm ig

4, 87

i actually like the arcs in 87, but the thing with 87 is that … the plot isn’t the point! but i don’t consider that a flaw. the show is a comedy first, and it’s great at what it does. so yes, even if the plot episodes are pretty forgettable compared to the goofier episodes, it’s not the worst thing in the world. but it’s still number 4.

3, rise

rise is kinda weird because even tho most of the series is comedy filler like 87, it’s most known for its plot. but i think it earns that because sometimes the show will throw in episodes that foreshadow the big plot at the end of the season, and it handles it pretty well for the most part.

2, tales

i honestly really enjoyed the way the plots were set up in tales. since it’s pretty new, i won’t spoil it, but i think my only actual complaint was the framing devices they used. but otherwise it was pretty good.

1, 03

every once in a while, the show would have a hiccup writing-wise, but overall i liked the flow of the arcs and stories it was trying to tell. out of all the tmnt shows, 03 was the best at juggling several arcs at once and committing to giving them closure (cough. unlike 2012-).

okay character writing rankings.

6, tnm

tbf this one has venus. and a pretty good donnie.

5, rise

this is so controversial i know. but i just get so frustrated with how the show handles leo and donnie’s writing specifically. they feel ooc half the time and there’s little consistency. and then raph and mikey (my favorites of the team) were sidelined a lot.

4, 2012

mikey has no character growth whatsoever and is an adhd stereotype. donnie’s development gets thrown to the background so you only notice it if you’re paying attention to him the entire time. leonardo gradually gets worse over the course of the series and we never see him get better. they couldn’t decide what to do with karai half the time. april’s arc got switched for a different one halfway through (i still love her tho). the only one with a decent arc is raph, and i still think it could’ve been better ://

3, 03

this is not a knock at 03. i just think that character growth wasn’t its priority. telling stories was. however we do occasionally see them go through arcs. most obvious is leo, but i also enjoy seeing raph get less hostile and trusting leo more over the course of the first season.

2, 87

you’d have to watch the whole show to see it, but there’s almost … an accidental ?? arc for each turtle??? raphael gets angrier up until it reaches typical raphael levels in red sky, donatello goes through ups and downs of wishing he was never mutated while still pursuing human-level knowledge, michelangelo early on in the show wished he was more human (he changes his mind after becoming human once, but the feeling lingers a bit sometimes), and leonardo goes through anxieties related to his team (he acts differently about being without them depending on the season). but even without considering development, their personalities are written fantastically and i love seeing how they interact with the world around them.

1, tales

this is suspect to change since we’ve only had a movie and a 12-episode show. but what i’ve seen so far, i’ve really liked. my only complaint is that donnie feels different in the show vs the movie ://

and ,,, my biases

6, rise

sorry.

5, tnm

guilty pleasure idk what to say. uh. venus de milo. and turtlelamb <33

4, tales

i liked it a lot! i just want more characters and world building. we’ll see where it goes in the future.

3, 03

i love many aspects of the show. it’s not quite as entertaining to me as the next to tho. idk why but my attention span just can’t handle too much of it.

2, 2012

i grew up with this one. does it suck? oh yeah for sure lmao. but it’s nostalgic and i like a lot of the characters. and season 1 particularly is amazing. sucks for the rest of the show tho lol. i will unashamedly bully it.

1, 87

wow. who would’ve— i mean. man. who could have possibly guessed— this one has lotus blossom so i’d say this one can’t be beat.
