And…I’m back!

Sorry that I’ve been gone so long, it’s been a crazy summer! But in a good way! I had to take a break from writing my story and making art, but I am at least back at it for writing my story! In the meantime, have some artwork I did before I took a long sabbatical.

Just wondering for opinions here--what do you all think about the 2k3 turtles using the surname Splinterson?

Far as I know it's the only version that uses that. When I first started writing 03 fanfiction, another fan actually had to remind me. I still sometimes forget.

I know there was mixed thoughts on it. Peter Laird, as I recall, wasn't a big fan of it. "It sounds Scandinavian or something!"

For myself...not a big fan. Logically, it totally makes sense. A lot of the last names we have now that end in "son" literally came from a shortening of "the son of..." (Johnson, son of John, etc) so the surname of the turtles being a shortening of "son of Splinter" completely fits. He's their dad!

But...the sound of it just kind of grinds my nerves. I truly don't know why. I actually think the turtles introducing themselves as "sons of Splinter" sounds cool but once you shorten it, it bugs me 😂

Maybe I'm just attached to the Hamato surname. That's the one I always use...sometimes even in my 03 stories.

Nothing against you if you love Splinterson though! I'm just genuinely curious and wondering if i'm on an island here...
