latimer's dad booked an airbnb for our trip and my god this place sucks. its so obviously a very very rushed and bad "modern renovation" of a 60s suburban house; the walls have all kinds of holes in them from removed previous features that were never filled back in, mismatched and drippy paint on the walls and doors, broken blinds in a bedroom, the sink in one of the bathrooms barely works, the stove has 2 broken burner dials (one of them can just come off!!!), just absolutely little to no thought at all whatsoever how someone actually living in this house would be. there's the bare minimum of furniture and decor - it feels more like a house showing than anything actually meant to be lived in.
i looked at the zillow listing of this house and it was sold for 165k in 2020, and is now 'zestimated' for 285k. on top of the shitty usual reasons that sucks (gentrification, pricing people out of a neighborhood they used to be able to afford) it's really sad just how little care and effort was put into this whole thing
this wasn't renovated by someone who wanted to fix up this house, preserve it, enjoy living in it - this was really just renovated by someone who wanted to do the absolute bare minimum to add new features and appliances to the property listing, so they could charge more per night on the already shitty airbnb model.

Hang on just cause my buddy reminded me. Probably the funniest subtle thing about the 2012 Turtles v. Dracula thing is. Donnie's agnostic symbol of protection.
[ID: 1. 2012 Donnie standing in "vampire hunting" gear: a brown leather duster, wide brimmed hat' and wooden stakes on his shoulder strap. He holds a wooden staff topped with a golden diamond with a red stone in the middle. 2. Same get up, holding the staff between him and Dracula, looking afraid.
END ID]
Like the whats said about the symbol is just:
"And, Donatello, your staff has a mystical seal of protection."
Mystic. Okay.
Donnie: "Man, I hope this symbol of protection thing is good for something!"
Dracula: "You have to have faith for that to work on me, goblin!"
And it doesn't work until
"I gotta try this "faith" thing. I gotta believe in this! The way I believe in my brothers!"
[ID: Dracula with a burn impression from the staff. It's round with little star bursts off of the four cardinal directions but not immediately cross looking. END ID]
So thats all to say... i think Nick probably said. Okay you can have your classic horror movie references BUT YOU CANNOT. Imply that Donatello has any feelings about religion. One way or the other.
