Made Leo and Mikey as cookies cause I was bored

Fuck you @abreathingrock you know what you did

(he dared judge my tmnt rant)

[imchangingmynameoutofspite]

I think the main reason mischaracterisation in the 2012 tmnt fandom annoys me so much is the way it removes basically all nuance from their relationships.

Splinter is no longer a flawed father beset by sudden fatherhood and loss of his identity but is now a benevolent cartoon-like villain. (No seriously I read a fic where he killed Ice-cream Kitty). In most fanfiction I've read, he's severely misguided at best and has no love for his sons at all at worst. Also where is this narrative that he's extremely physically abusive to them??? Outside of training, he never physically hurts them as far as I remember? He's not the most perfect father but he's also not the devil from the bible.

When it comes to the brothers themselves, they're often portrayed as particularly abusive caricatures of their canon selves. When their somewhat thoughtless actions ,usually towards Mikey, are portrayed as entirely malicious, it takes away the emotional depth from the entire interaction. It's also just straight up not correct. In the episode "New Friend, Old Enemy" Raphael, realising his previous comments about Mikey's trust in Bradford have hurt Mikey, apologies and reassures Mikey that he is an awesome person:

Is Raphael rough and hot tempered at times? Yes, but he knows when he's crossed the line and can apologise in his own way accordingly. With this in mind I just can't imagine him hurting/abusing Mikey as blatantly and intentionally as some fan media seems to imply. Mikey's brothers unknowingly hurting him is a much more intriguing and canonical narrative than them straight up abusing him intentionally.

Anyways point is mischaracterisation is less interesting than more canonical characterisation imo.

Gonna be real no clue why I wrote this entire thing just had to put my thoughts somewhere.

(also this is in no way me dunking on fanfiction or people who choose to characterise them this way, it just baffles me why it tends to be the norm)

Got a minor burn recently and I finally understand why Vader was in such a piss poor mood

[abreathingrock]

I think the 'projecting everything about myself (or people I'm close with) onto characters' syndrome is getting out of hand because I genuinely forget sometimes that Emily Charlton is not coeliac and doesn't have eczema.

What do you mean we know, like, nothing about her in canon?? Like cmon, let her be coeliac...for me....or at least let her have irritable/sensitive skin...please?

[imchangingmynameoutofspite]

No fr like what do you mean Jimmy Solidarity isn't actually coeliac?!? Crazy stuff

[lemontrance]

HELLO HI I HAVE RETURNED ANDD I COME BEARING GIFTS

It's a redesign. (Yap sesh below <3)

Don't look too closely or you'll see where I had to edit the pic to make it look like they're all on the same page.

Ok starting with the characters now!

Holly- one of the books mentioned that her uncle or grandfather or someone related to her was cupid and that she had a round face because of that. I took that and ran with it before remembering that it also mentions that she was said to be lean. Oh well. She's the same height as Chix bc I think that's funny.

Trouble and Grub- I'm putting them together bc their designs were made together. Each has two moles or on their face only on opposite sides and each has a mole on their left hand. Trouble is the tallest here and Grub is the shortest. (Also Rainbow if you're reading this first off hello secondly yes I did steal Grub's hairstyle from that one picrew you made)

Chix- I saw a picture of cicada wings and they were really pretty and reflected the light in such a lovely way and in the books it says that sprites love to show off their wings so I figured why not let them go full peacock and give them irridecent wings. Also I think it would be funny bc people would 100% tell Chix he's being loud and annoying.

Lili- you may have noticed that she's not in this line up. I did draw her! I swear! I just didn't like how she turned out so I shelved her. You can expect a design of her and others who I missed in hmmmmmm 9-15 buisnes days

Wonderful now the uniforms! They're very similar to my previous design. The only major difference is the chest plate. It's designed to look like a beetle! (Also yes I did steal that belt buckle design from Squirrel Girl what are you gonna do about it)

Unfortunately I didn't see Rainbow's post abt the ranking thing until after I drew these so I'll have to incorporate those into future designs

That's all folks!

what character(s) do you associate with the person you reblogged this from?

[idkwhattodowassuuuup]

Trying to convince your friend to watch a show you like while also having to give them spoilers because you can't shut up about it. "Yes there is time travel. No I will not elaborate. No it never comes up again." "Please understand that this man is six-foot-nine in canon but has beef with a 15 year old." "No they're not married but they might as well be and this is depressing for secret reasons I Cannot Share."

I probably sound insane.
