HISTORY

[carrionbeast]

holy shit!

[melongifts]

can someone explain this to me

[coelasquid]

Thirty years ago a legendary ET game came to fruition, so awful that as the tale told, all unsold copies of it were buried in a pit in New Mexico. A documentary film crew has just unearthed the stash, proving the legend true.

[vergess]

I don’t think people fully grasp just how awful it was. This one game, by the sheer merit of its unmatched shittiness, destroyed the video game and console market so thoroughly that the at home video game nearly went the way of the 8-track player.

It was literally so awful that it nearly changed the entire course of technology.

how can a video game possibly be that bad

[purple-banded-pacifist]

I played ET and trust me it was that bad.

Michelangelo practically flew from rooftop to rooftop, the sound of hard wheels against metal and the roar of his skateboard’s propulsion engines accompanying his jubilant hoots and hollers. It was rare that Mikey managed to get out of the lair on his own, and he planned to take full advantage of the situation. There was a sharp boost in engine noise as he rocketed across a particularly wide gap between buildings. When he landed, albeit rather shakily, he took a moment to rather loudly celebrate.

 ”Whooo! Check those sick moves, bruh! You can’t touch dis turtle, baby! You can’t see dis!” he shouted to no one in particular, waving his hand in front of his face in the manner of a certain wrestler. He then zoomed across the roof he was currently on, aiming for the exposed air duct. He popped his board up for a grind, but both underestimated his momentum and overestimated the structural integrity of the duct. There was a loud crash, along with a surprised shriek he’d never admit to making. He popped up out of the torn remnants of the duct almost immediately, brushing himself off and trying to pretend that his ass and ego didn’t hurt as much as they did.

"Meant to do that! Totally on purpose!" he announced to the air, looking around to make sure no one had caught him screwing up that trick so hard. He went to gather his board, but found that he’d mangled the front wheels in the crash. He let out a groan, his shoulders wilting.

"Aww, balls…"

Despite the music playing in her ears, and the usual noise made by the entire city, April was able to hear a very loud series of crashing sounds. And they came from the room of the building she was in front of. Taking her earbuds off, she attentively listened for any other noise...and her heart skipped a beat when she heard a familiar voice groaning and cursing. Running to the metal staircase on the side of the building, April only hoped that she was quick enough as she ran up the rattling, rusty staircase.

April was much faster than she thought on her feet, and once up on the roof, she was able to notice a bulky figure in the distance. Making sure no one was looking, she yelled.

"Mikey! Wait!"

There were pipes all around, so April had to be careful with where she stepped. Using her phone to light up the darkness, April called again, "Mikey!"

[idontwearjumpsuits]

April looked up as she walked home, listening to music and thinking of a lot of things. Like her strange new friends; April had not seen or heard from any of the turtles for quite a while now, though she knew they needed to lay low and recover from past events, April missed them. 

No messages from Donatello, or Raphael, or Leonardo. Not even Mikey, who seemed to be the one most fond of her. The youngest of the turtles was sometimes a bit immature, and made many odd jokes, but April missed him just the same as the other three. He did manage to get giggles out of her, despite the situation that they had all been stuck in for some time. Now, April was back in school, doing what she always did...just now she felt a little lonelier. 

April kept walking down the half-empty street.

Woah… April? Ya look a lot younger than I remember. I’m kinda hesitant ta call ya ‘Babe’.

[idontwearjumpsuits]

idontwearjumpsuits:

"Mikey, we’re the same age. I mean, yea, you act like an eight year old despite the fact that you’re actually fifteen…"

April let out some laughter after teasing Mikey. Usually, he was the one making odd jokes and teasing or pranking people. 

[im-a-snappin-turtle-foo]

"Yeah, I know! But the April I know is in her twenties and is more…" he makes a gesture with his hands indicating curves.

"Besides, I’m sixteen! Almost… Kinda close."

[idontwearjumpsuits]

idontwearjumpsuits:

Seeing the turtle making such hand movements made her blush. "UGH! Mikey! Are 'hot chicks' all you think of?". For a moment, April thought about what she had just asked, and realized the answer was already quite obvious. 

"Wait, of course you do...you're sixteen. And Donnie tells me about your secret stash of magazines. Perv."

[donatallo]

Donnie couldn’t keep the goofy little smile off of his face when April held his hand and called him amazing, even when questioned about his skills. “Thanks, but Mikey’s way faster than me,” he said. He admitted it easily; he was loathe to have April think that he wasn’t some kind of super-ninja, of course, but maybe they could bond over their perceived lack of prowess.

[idontwearjumpsuits]

"I’m a much better scientist than a martial artist. I’m almost always the last one to pick up new techniques… but seeing my brothers succeed just motivates me to try harder. Maybe I haven’t mastered as many skills as they have, but we’re all getting better, and you will, too.

"And until then, we’re here to help. Don’t think you have to take care of your dad by yourself, okay?"

idontwearjumpsuits:

While talking to Donnie, April remained half absent and looked into space as she spoke, thinking of her father and many other things. She was so sucked into her word that she had not noticed that her hand had not let go of Donnie's finger yet. After a few more moments of silent thinking and staring at the wall feet away from them, April looked down...yes, her hand was in fact still clutching Donnie's. 

"Huh? Oh...sorry, Donnie. I was thinking about something else."

Letting go of the giant green finger slowly, April took a deep breath and tried to relax. There were so many things going on around her, so many problems weighing down her young shoulders...she needed a distraction. "Donnie, I've been to your place a lot of times. Actually, I'm kind of always here...what do you say we hang out at my place? My aunt will be at work, so no worries."

Deleted scenes cut from the movie

[mutanteens-blog]

OKAY BUT WILL THE PEOPLE EVER HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THESE DELETED SCENES?

Like there is Raphril footage SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD AND WE CANT HAVE IT

[mutanteens-blog]

Hey guys I got an idea. Reblog this if you want the deleted scenes from the movie. And if this gets enough notes then I can try to send it to the writers.

I’m not doing this for followers or whatever I’m doing this so that the writers can know that we REALLY want ALL of the deleted scenes. I won’t guarantee if this will work but I’ll give it a shot!

Because I have this gut feeling that the writers won’t even consider giving us the scenes, so this is a just in case move!

[donatallo]

Donnie knelt down and held a hand out to April to help her up. “Of course you’re not too old! Age doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he said gently. “I guarantee that in another ten years you’ll be just as advanced as we are now — maybe even eight.”

"Look, don’t be upset, okay? I know how frustrating training is when everyone else is better than you. The key is not to get discouraged, because the only way you’re not going to improve is by giving up. Every lesson is valuable.”

April looked at Donnie's big, green, 3 fingered hand for a second before taking it. Since his fingers were so big, April's small right hand took his first finger and let him pull her up. "Yeah, you might be right...but I can't let my dad wait for so long..."

Donnie said something that struck her as odd, though; "What did you mean when you said you know how it feels when everyone is better than you? You're already pretty amazing...true, not as beefed up as the others, but you're still agile. Actually, I think you might be the fastest of the four." April had two good eyes that had allowed her to see just how great Donatello was at fighting.

On Turts and Tats

Okay, folks, a lot of you are new and I’m assuming it’s because of the movie. If so, welcome to the fandom!

Anyhoo, I’ve received numerous comments on Raphael’s tattoo: some good, some ‘HUH? BUT HE IS TURTLE. TURTLE NO HAVE TATTOO WHAA?’. A giant talking turtle… trained in martial arts by a talking rat, somehow able to afford pizza 6 times a weeks, BUT HOLD THE PHONE— TAT?

This is FANart, folks. If I want Raph to have a full traditional Japanese sleeve then that cranky fucker is getting a full sleeve. The sleeve is actually my sister’s sleeve— I doodled his arm when she was getting the last spots filled in the spring. 

The beauty of fan fiction and fan art is that it is created by the fans. If you want to see the original characters behave/look like the originals: read the comics, watch the cartoons, and see the films. 

I talked with Ikiracake about this last night— on the style I use and it came down to the sort of adult versions of the 2012 turtles. I liked Donnie’s glasses in the film, so I throw those in, but I keep the gap, the crack, the freckles, and the honour from 2k12. I’ve also given them specific scars: Donnie’s eye, shoulder, and bicep, Leo’s thigh and cheek, Raph’s everywhere. 

I am most certainly not the first to do this and the beauty is finding fan artists’ fun twists on the characters!

These guys have been around for 30 years— that’s a lot of time for fans to play, so let the creative folks play

Aaaaand scene

"Hey, Donnie."

April was done with her practice with Master Splinter for the day, and was taking a rest on the floor, when she felt she was being observed. She knew Donatello was behind her…she felt him when he was close by, and though she was very aware of his presence,...

Sighing deeply, April turned and lifted her head to look at him. "It went...well, it went. Let's just leave it at that." Her eyes dropped to the floor in obvious sadness. "I want to keep training, but aren't I too old to learn this already? Besides...you guys started when you were little, so I'm obviously never going to be as good as you."
