Red Angel of Preventing Harm

I've become obsessed with Rise of the TMNT and I need a space to love the best turtle | I will mostly post about Rise!Raph but maybe past incarnations too | they/them |

Raph's surprise hug

I already posted this on X and bsk, but I'll post it here too.

I’m a complete Raph supporter. He’s never done anything wrong in his life. (Even when he has—he hasn’t)

[returnofahsoka]

My experience writing rottmnt fanfic in a nutshell

Biblically accurate Rise turtles, with Raf who is basically Gamera and I died a little inside drawing Donnie...

wake up and I'm feeling like a boss

My favorite genre of tmnt fan works is when the caption says something like ‘my sibling did this to me’

[raphaelappreciation]

90% of tmnt theme songs are like

"Leo is leader"

"Donnie is IT"

"Mikey is funky"

"Raphael is an asshole"

always thinking about canonically black/blasian turtles 😌

The main difference between Tales/Mayhem and the rest of the iterations, is that in each iteration there’s one or two turtles who are autistic. In Tales/Mayhem they’re all autistic.

“No one gets left behind” mentality.

[gaymagician69]

“The best thing for autism representation is to have multiple autistic characters so there’s a display of autism as a spectrum affecting people differently” “we need better autism representation” “I wish there were more characters that are audhd” my brother in christ, the teenage mutant ninja turtles are RIGHT THERE

[raphaelappreciation]

aight finally watching Mutant Mayhem (forgive my lateness it came out when my hyperfixation mode was over) and I just wanna know who decided to give Donnie the most adorable voice on the planet

[raphaelappreciation]

Idk if this was obvious to everyone but me but like

Rewatched the Sparring Partner episode of Rise and it clicked why Raph is so eager to have an origami ninja to spar with

Big guy only sparred with his brothers before and has probably been pulling his punches this whole time bc he doesn't want to hurt em. He doesn't have to worry about that with a paper ninja that can't feel pain and can easily repair itself

I love this sweet red powerhouse of a turtle I stg

Future raphy from the 20 year anniversary TMNT comic. He’s just hangin and telling stories to the youth :3

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

pizza puffs is so important to me personally. a true microcosm of raph's struggles
