Quick ooc post since there’s some new people: I do have the rat here but I’m much more active on the genius child I follow from @boficionado.

I do things periodically on Splinter too but Donnie’s my main muse!

“Thirteen years is quite a long time to have behaved in the manner I found myself in. I have much work to do, but I intend to do my best to be the father I should have been all those years ago.”

[loujitsued]

“Do you know what it is like? Being a father to ten teenage boys, and finding out you have a teenage daughter? Also having your sons’ teenage girl friend as a surrogate child?

I am a very tired old rat.”

Thirteen years. Thirteen years he’d had his sons, and while at first, he’d been all right, as soon as everything he could find of his had been moved to the old exchange station in the sewer that became their home... it was like a fog had settled over him. And now, looking up at his anxious, frustrated son...

Where had his brain been all these years? His whiskers twitched and, finally, he sighed, slowly nodding as he folded his hands behind him.

“Of course, my son. It was improper of me to refer to you as such for so long without asking if this is what you would prefer. Please... what would you rather I called you?”

Oh, it’s her again. Honestly, couldn’t he get a moment’s peace? “Ugh. What is it this time you pesky, noisy robot?”

[loujitsued]

So I’ve never in my life thought Rise Splints was even remotely in the ballpark of “good parent,” but @nycheart​ brought up a really good point on Di.scord: what if the Kuroi Yoroi was kind of like a horocrux? He was drinking tea out of that thing, probably every day. He was more slovenly, didn’t really pay attention to or interact with his children...

Who’s to say it wasn’t the armor’s influence somehow? Now that he doesn’t have the helmet/head, he’s been a much more attentive parent, seeming like he regrets his behavior the previous many years... so it’s a very plausible theory.

I’m probably gonna play with that on here too, esp in light of the new eps.

anonymous said: Master Splinter in the alternative timelines your counterpart has a daughter named Mi Wa aka Karai.

“There is another Miwa? That is some crazy stuff. I wonder if she is as angry about learning about me as my Miwa was.

Though I cannot say “my Miwa.” I didn’t exactly do any of her raising.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: So Splinter--- Yeah or nay for Baron? > u>

“Yea or nay for what? Kicking him into next century? I would say yea to that. But while he is the reason my sons are my sons, he still turned me into a rat.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: hey why the fuck don't you call your kids by their actual names? leo and donnie are just as easy to say as blue and purple

“They have never complained. Besides, they are harmless nicknames.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: Master Splinter to answer your question Super Shredder used to be a human who injected himself with unstable ooze with blades coming out of his body and his heart not only became visible but it became indestructible to any weapons but there is a silver lining Super Shredder is also dead who got his head sliced off by an alternative version of Leonardo who is the sensei now.

“That is truly nightmarish... but still mortal, nonetheless. Still, it is somewhat comforting to know other versions of me have had to deal with monstrous versions of the Shredder in their lifetime.

I do not think Blue could do something as drastic as to behead a man, mutated into a monster or not.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: Splinter you should see the 2012 of you cause HOT DAMN HE SMOKIN.

He’s just... going to borrow Blue’s sword for a moment to take a look-see at his prior alternate, and...

...

“HOW IS IT HE WAS PERMITTED TO STAY TALL.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said:  Master Splinter the alternative versions of you are equally skilled and wised unfortunately one of your alternative versions has sadly been killed 😢 by an alternative version of Shredder who calls himself Super Shredder.

“Ah, I see, I see. I feel for his sons, left alone at such fragile ages. That is very tragic, though I must ask...

Is a Super Shredder more super than a mass-murdering evil warlord who was so vile that his soul possessed his armor at the instant of his death, turning him into a brutal, unstoppable killing machine of pure, undiluted evil?

If not, then man alternate versions of me got off easy.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: Master Splinter did you know there alternative versions of your sons?

“I have seen many many strange things in this world and in the Hidden City. That alternate versions of my sons could exist does not seem like that far a stretch.

I wonder if alternates of me are as talented and critically acclaimed.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: So are you and Baron at least at semi good terms now? Considering he's been nice to Mikey and his new little turtle Eddie?

“Ughhhh I suppose I am willing to at least look at him. He makes unfortunately good points about  my children and- wait.”

He very nearly spills his tea as he jerks his head up, looking plainly bewildered, a very sharp frown drawn into his features as he tries to wrap his head around that last part there.

“There is another turtle?!”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: There's a sneaky kitty. Well, if it wasn't for the fact that Klunk screamed everywhere he went and making himself know to all. The little deaf cat was making an attempt at sneaking onto the rat's lap, don't mind him.

Ugh, where were all these cats coming from? Were all of his sons determined to bring some vile little mouse eaters into the lair all of a sudden? And this one in particular seems to want to crawl into his lap, screaming at the top of its lungs all the while.

Funny. He’d liked cats well enough when he was still human, but now they were somehow infuriating.

“Ugh, go away, you loud little monster. I am trying to watch my stories.”

[loujitsued]

anonymous said: Master Splinter what was your reaction of Shredder being revived.

The question actually gives him pause, and for a moment he stands still, stroking his beard as he gazes off into the distance. That was a harder question than he thought, honestly.

“Disbelief, at first. For a long time, I thought the Kuroi Yoroi was a fairy tale. A myth my grandfather told me to scare me into staying at the dojo. But seeing it unleashed was worse than anything I could have ever imagined in a million years. The good thing is it appears to be gone forever, and my sons did an excellent job finding a way to keep that beast busy while we obtained a means to banish it. Not bad for running away from my great mystical destiny, I should say.”

@bracedvigilante said: What’s this? Another cat? It looks a little too wired to be fully considered one, but relatively harmless... That is, until Hareta sidles right up to Splinter and stretches, flexing his claws and giving a yawn— and a mouthful of FIRE.

Well he would’ve commented sourly on the presence of another cat, but th en all of a sudden this one yawns and spits fire. He barely has time to scramble out of the way before his robes are singed, staring down at the awful little creature with a horrible look.

“Who keeps bringing cats into the lair and then unleashing them?! Especially ones that breathe fire!”
