Hello Void!

Im literally almost crying.

I finally found all the episodes of Wonder Pets.

It was on YouTube.

And I’ll have to pay 44.97 for all seasons but I don’t care.

I found it.

I grew up on this show, this is a pillar of my childhood.

After I stopped watching I couldn’t find it anywhere.

I finally found it.

Ironing out that design a bit

plushy time

sometimes you just have to curl up with your largest plushy until the world stops being so bad. You'll know you're there when you wake up from your impromptu nap having been tucked in at some point.

I’ll look after you

Casey: I did something really stupid yesterday.

Donnie: Ah, give yourself some credit, Jones. You do something stupid every day.

Nothing more humbling than trying to pull the blanket up and punching yourself square in the jaw instead.

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.

not an art post but does anybody else think about how not just in one, not two, not three, but in SEVERAL iterations of TMNT whenever Master Splinter is hurt or missing, Raphael is the first to throw himself in immediate danger?

No? Just me?

(yes i know he does the same for his siblings, but i’m talking about a father and son dynamic. not brothers)

Like Raphael will either scream in anguish or tear New York inside out to find his father. The passion he holds in his heart when it comes to his loyalty to his family is too big for his tiny turtle self. :((

When his father was missing with nothing left behind but a disheveled and destroyed home in 1990, his first instinct was to clutch his sais, the one of the few remaining things he possibly had left of his father, and screamed in absolute anguish and guilt.

In The Last Ronin, when his father was wounded and unsure of his survival, he alone took on an army and Karai by himself. While the truce was broken and he would’ve done that for any of his brothers, I just find it so gut wrenching when the child sees their parent in pain, and their first response is to assure that parent is in good hands before they personally fight against whatever may have harmed their parent.

In 2003 when Splinter went missing, Raphael spent hours looking for his father alone. He screamed his father’s name from the rooftops. But he still found time to help another child whom was missing their own parent. Because he understands the torture it feels to lose that bond.

And the absolute gentle care Raphael exhibits around his father is something that isn’t talked about enough. The bond that they have is so special to Raphael that he personally lowers his guard and his entire body language and behavior becomes gentle and kind. His father is one of the few people that is allowed to see his true self at any given moment.

I like when writer’s tackle that Raphael isn’t the angry violent brother all the time. But at his core, he is gentle and soft. And his heart is kind. But he is simply passionate and protective. His loyalty will pass every test you throw.

I need more one on one Raphael and Splinter scenes in TMNT.

April: That’s what you think of me?

Karai: Who says I think of you?
