Have not drawn my boys in a while
Ok. After reading several 2012! TMNT fanfictions, I just have to comment on this one thing that's driving me up the wall.
Raphael is almost never written correctly. Like I'm not just talking about the constant bashing he gets. I'm talking about how he insults/teases his brothers is portrayed completely wrong like 90% of the time.
Rapheal does not just wake up in the morning and decides to go belittle his brothers with basic, unimaginative insults. No no no. Name calling is to plain for Raph. Instead, Raphael bides his time and waits for the perfect moment to do so.
The boys are on a mission and they find themselves in the middle of an abandoned warehouse? Raphael would say something like “this place is emptier than Mikey’s head.”
Donnie’s explaining how Microscopes help people examine things to small to see with the naked eye? Raph would interject like “wow! Maybe then we can finally see Mikey’s brain with this thing!”
The team is trapped in a particularly disgusting sewer? Raph would be saying “this place smells worse than Leo’s cooking” then a pile of sludge would drop directly on his face and after wiping it off he’d go “but it definitely tastes better.”
Raph is stuck in the villians’ grasp as Leo starts a huge dorky hero speech? He would dead ass turn to villain and just say “can you do me a favor and just kill me now before he rambles on for the next hour?”
The boys are fighting giant bird mutant that has a piercing super sonic screech? Raph would be like “goddamn this thing shrieks almost as loud as Donnie!”
Donnie pointing out something really obvious during one of their missions? Raph would sarcastically quip something like “Truly your insight is really invaluable to this team Donatello.”
And y’all crossover fanfiction writters are absolutely kidding yourselves if you think Rise! Donnie wouldn’t adore taunting people with 2012! Raph. Hell they'd probably go off and brainstorm some new ones for each of their brothers and counterparts. Poor Rise! Leo would definitely be taking brunt of their insults.
Just let him be the teasing terror of a brother that he is.
Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the long hiatus, it's been a minute since I posted. I took a little break to deal with school and mental health, but I'm back! I hope you'll take this fanart of raph as a peace offering. Cya!!
Mom Leo is at it!
Yeah, this is to be expected
