drew this a while back but forgot to share this here whoops. toddler with too much love in him

Usually When people talk about different versions of splinter meeting in crossovers they almost always talk about 2012 and rise meeting (usually as an excuse to dunk on 12s parenting style)

But I just want to talk about the amount of real money I’d pay to see rise splinters “borderline negligent parenting”go head to head with tales “literally referred to as a helicopter parent” in literally one conversation about their parenting

Splinter (and April) vs Goldfin fight my beloved

I should have posted this like hours ago, but procrastination won this one

Might as well make it look nice

Aly do u prefer yoshi + splinter being the same character or separate? could u rank the yoshis/splinters from your least favorite to most favorite? thank u!

Good question!!

Personally, I prefer it when they're the same character, it's just more interesting in my opinion. Now, that's not to say that Splinters that start out as a rat can't have cool backstories (I actually really like 03 Splinter's), but I always find myself more intrigued if they used to be human. It really allows the writers to dig into what it would be like for someone to suddenly not be human anymore. Plus the idea of a guy getting turned into a rat and then turning around and being like "I guess the only course of action is to raise four turtles in the sewers" is really funny to me. It definitely takes a specific person for that to be their first course of action.

And, of course, if he was human first that means he probably had a close relationship with Tang Shen. I wrote an entire essay on why she's such an interesting character to me so I won't get into that here, but getting to hear about her from a primary (and often biased) source is really fun. I love characters that haunt the narrative.

Now I've only ever seen Rise, 03, and MM/Tales in full. I've seen a few episodes of 2012 but 87, the comics, and all other iterations aren't gonna be included since I don't know enough about them.

Rise Splinter. What can I say. I made the Nameless Trio just to put this idiot and his friends in situations and watch how they react. His past with the Hamato Clan, the whole Lou Jitsu era, and the Battle Nexus era are all super interesting to me, plus I love reading and writing little fics where this man who had no intention of ever even interacting with a child suddenly has to raise four of them. While he's not always the best father (or the best person if we're being so real) it's clear that he loves his kids.

03 Splinter. This guy is just...the sweetest I can't even. In my opinion he's the best dad out of all the Splinters (at least the ones I've seen). I mean he literally used to be a rat, and yet is a good father even by human standards (it's my personal head canon that he had a rat family before at some point so he does have practice raising kids, but still). I love how Yoshi would just bring him literally everywhere, I love how much he cares. He's just great.

2012 Splinter. Now I know some people really hate this guy, and like I said early I haven't seen the whole series. However. This man has a cheese phone and runs on a wheel. He committed to the bit and I have to respect that. Plus, his whole backstory with Karai and Shen is super interesting to me. And in my opinion Splinter and Shredder being brothers is an elite choice. The obvious favoritism of his children isn't great, but I can appreciate a complex character.

Mutant Mayhem/Tales Splinter. I'm gonna be so honest I don't know if we've really seen enough of this guy for me to have a super concrete opinion on him. In my review of TOTTMNT I did talk about how annoying it was to have him just speak vermin, and I do still stand by that. That being said, I don't hate him. It's obvious that he cares about his kids and wants the best for him. I've seen some theories that maybe he was lying about his past and used to be Hamato Yoshi. Personally I don't buy it, but due to my personal preferences I do kinda hope that's the case lol.

This ended up being a lot longer than i thought it would be!! I hope you enjoyed me rambling about the old rat man.

Thanks for the ask!!

went to super one today and saw these goobers

Like, excuse me? What’s with their faces? lol why does all tmnt merch look messed up? Just, just like *wheeze* their faces!!!

LOOK AT HIS SILLY LITTLE CUTE GLASSES!!! They cut into his eyes, and the poor boi can’t see right!! Ahaha! They’re such funny little goobers lol. Sadly, Leo wasn’t there. He musta been off playing hero or whatever XD.

Edit: My sister said Superfly must have killed Leo which is why he’s not there. It’s just Splinter and his three sons XD.

[britt-kageryuu]

Which version is better?

The original all plastic semi-articulated version. Or the mix n' match with a polyester vest?

[doodle-buggie]

More misc screenshot redraws cuz I really liked Angel's design and thought Raph voicing Splinter was hilarious

[awzominator]

Day seven!!!! We made it!!!!!

Happy Father’s Day!!!! I couldn’t choose which splinter to end with so I did a handful. 90s was a must tho the ending of the third movie where he cheers up Mikey by wearing his lampshade literally so fukin cute im so emotional over it

THANK YOU FOR THE BEST CHARACTER CELEBRATION WEEK AND FOR YOUR HARD WORK PUTTING IT TOGETHER @tmnt-splinterweek !!!! THIS WAS SO FUN!!!!!

TMNT: INVERSE - Test Animation

Do you remember the rain?

Here's a test animation made by our incredible artist @sporkarts! This animation has Leo (without her hood on!) and Splinter.

What is TMNT: Inverse? So glad you asked! Inverse is an indie animation project that is working to bring our original TMNT iteration to life with an animated series!

The premise? What if the turtles and Splinter were raised in the Foot Clan.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an ask and check out our pinned post!

PS. We are currently looking for compositors for the project. If you're interested in applying, send us a DM for more information!

No cats or Mikey's were actually eaten by Genghis Frog - but he sure tried!

I recently saw someone’s tweet asking if they should give Rise a chance bc the villain designs intrigued them, and one of the first comments you see under that tweet says: “You will hate Splinter in it, the majority of people do, and I’m pretty sure that’s the only downside really”

I wonder if you guys agree with that opinion, so…
