Literally just a place for me to liveblog the shows im watching so I'm not pestering my friends in the middle of their mental breakdowns in the gc

he got de-squished :(

[cae-liveblogging]

Also feel like they could touch a little more on how damaging it is that EVERYONE HATES THEM. Most they've done is show how Raph is bitter about it. Burns is a shit person, I havent seen much of Vernon or Irma this whole time, April is the only person who has any real faith in the turtles, but at least they're slowly making some friends among humans.

I love how in season 10 of tmnt 1987 the turtles got a little style change but everyone else pretty much stayed the same except for a little de-squishing.

Im not at the point where Casey Jones has made an appearance this season but I can't wait to see if they've done anything to him besides de-squish him like they did everyone else

"where's April, we're on in 1 minute!"

tmnt 1987 - Were-Rats From Channel 6

so the rat king just has mutagen lying around. okay. and he realizes that he can make rat mutants with it. okay. so he takes two humans and mutates them into rat people instead of just... mutating his rats into humanoids? bro. you have rats. you are human dna. connect the dots.

---

raph is so often competing with donatello for my favorite character in this one. leo, april, and splinter are all so cheesey, and I hate the way michelangelo talks. raph is funny. but i like don on principle.

---

and of course the rat mutants are stealing cheese alone instead of other things like bread or nonperishables.

---

I guess cats are enough to turn them back.

---

stage whisper. gets em every time.

---

"hit me with your best shot!"

he does and knocks the cieling down, burying michelangelo

"not bad"

---

i love how shredder and kraang are like an old married couple, and bebop and rocksteady are like their two kids

---

Vernon is such an ass

---

the rat king needs a flute in this version haha L.

---

"you saw a reporter transform into a mutant rat and you didnt tell anyone?"

"i dont wanna burn my risotto!"

---

"i jUSt CanT tAKe aLl THIs sUSpeNsE"

---

i love how bebop and rocksteady just shoot up the place so they can get lunch

---

"maybe we wont have to clean our room when we get back" like if they do a good job

---

april was already a cat, does she really need to be a rat too?

---

"that stuffs supposed tk be green, not tutti frutty" people say that shit about you too bud

---

splinter was NOT with them earlier

---

why is everyone so off model here?

---

who ships cheese and explosives on the same flight?

---

"not so fast, squeaky!" hey i had a rooster named squeaky once

---

why is the rat king dressed like that tho. the bandages make no goddamn sense.

---

why is the plane flying straight up?

---

"dont worry, the plane won't crash." bebop is driving

---

she should have said cowabummer as be fell from the plane

---

just fly the plane directly into the technodrome

---

"how are you going to land this thing?"

"i dunno.none of the controls work"

"then why are you sitting in the pilots chair!?"

"i always wanted to be a pilot :)"

---

"this is one of those days i think i should have stayed in bed" awwww bebop 😢

---

uses the same eating sound effect 3 times in a row.

2012 rant time

it's kinda sad to me how raph's anger is treated by his family. They're just like "bro chill out" but it's not that simple. I know how isolating it can be to be different from others in a way that you can't really describe or explain correctly, it's poignant and isolating. And his anger isn't a choice, but they don't really offer him much in the way of tools to manage his anger in the beginning. Sure, later he eventually gets a mantra from master splinter, but thats way later in his journey with managing his anger. And, like me, he doesn't know how to justify it, so he finds a way to justify it. He tells himself that his anger makes him a better fighter, but he's an impressive fighter regardless. He just can't understand why something that is so easy for his brothers is hard for him, and I feel that. I've never been as angry as raph, but I have been as lonely, and it truly is miserable. His brothers don't get him, that much is true. They don't seem to understand that he's not trying to be a problem, he's not trying to mess things up, it's just a part of him that he can't articulate, and that he has little means to control. It's a skill that he has to learn.

And he's clearly got some guilt resulting from his anger, he doesn't want to be angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't deny being angry like he does in "The Good, the Bad, and Casey Jones". And they have the internet, clearly, so why doesn't anyone bother looking up ways to help? Splinter says in "Turtle Temper" "to let the words wash over him like a river over stone" or something like that, but he doesn't offer much more explanation. Furthermore, his brothers still push his buttons, knowing he has a short fuse. Coming from someone with siblings, there are ways to pick on your siblings without really hurting them. Even with an angrier sibling. It requires a lot of effort on all parts, but it looks like he's mostly working on his own when it comes to keeping his anger in check.

why would the retromutagen cookies turn the turtles into human beings? wouldn't it turn them back into regular turtles?

also, shredder can bake

[cae-liveblogging]

lol donnie just fired a missile at shredders head

WHY DID ROCKSTEADY SAY SMTG ABOUT WW3 ALL OVER AGAIN???

Honestly, I'm convinced at this point that in the show at the moment Usagi is a teen. There is no confirmed age for him that I can find.

[cae-liveblogging]

i love how bebop and rocksteady are literally just children
