for doodle prompts: Klunk playing with Splinter's tail? (or anything with Klunk)

Okay, so maybe not quite Klunk versus Splinter’s tail, buttttt hopefully this suffices! 👀

"OK, but quick question: Why is the teapot evil?"

"OK, but quick question: Why is the teapot evil?"

"Don't be silly, Orange," Splinter chuckled, turning the teapot so that he could see the grimace on the face. Privately, he too thought that it was a little creepy, but his youngest had inherited his older sibling's bluntness and the imagination of children. "It's not evil. It's...just focusing on heating the water up for us."

The teapot whistled, loud enough that it almost hurt.

"See?" Splinter said, picking it up. "He did a good job."

Michaelangelo frowned, staring at it.

"I hate it."

For the rest of his childhood, he refused any tea made by the teapot. Splinter simply added it to the list and got another teapot. It made a little bit of a dent in his wallet, but he enjoyed teatime with his sons when he could muster up the energy.

It wasn't until Draxum issued the demand for the last dark armor piece that he realized why Orange had been so scared.

For all of the “Raph raised himself AND his brothers” fans out there I bring this train wreck of a thought (I’m a lil sleepy so sorry if it doesn’t make sense or if I repeat myself a lot-)

We do not in fact have any actual evidence that splinter was neglectful to the boys when they were little. In fact, we have the opposite.

All of these flashbacks indicate that Splinter acc spent a LOT of time with his boys-

With Mikey, he was obviously coached in his art, a smol child can’t paint like that no matter how talented they are so we can see that splinter put in the time/effort to get Mikey the supplies and teach him how to do it well. Which probably means he researched and learned it himself first, idk I just can’t really see Yoshi knowing how to paint/draw that well but that’s just a theory.

With raph and Leo, their lemonade stand is structurally sound: obviously not put together by an 8 year old, and there’s a lotta lemons lyin around that were probably a bit difficult to find, and just LOOK at their faces here they are definitely familiar with this kind of father/son shenaniganizing-also just LOOK at raph. That’s a happy child, one full of excitement and happiness, not a kid who had to grow up too fast. Also his dad is literally right there in the picture

And then with Donnie, I can’t really tell what he’s doing in the background (it’s a bomb) but what i take from that screenshot is that Donnie feels safe/loved enough to come to Splinter when he gets hurt. And Splinters taking care of him!! And, Donnie is wearing clothes, which shows that he went out and got clothes for them but also didn’t force the boys to wear them if they didn’t want to (see other screenshots lol) which also goes to show that he lets his boys choose who they wanna be and what they wanna do. At any point he could’ve forced all of them to train as ninja, at any point he could’ve made clothes mandatory, and at any point he could’ve forced them to drop things that made them happy like skating or science or art but nah. He was supportive every step of the way.

Now am I saying he was perfect? No. Am I saying he couldn’t have done anything better? No. What I’m saying is that Raph acc did not have to raise himself and his brothers. Splinter acc gave them a pretty good childhood, all things considered and it kinda makes me sad when ppl bash Rise Splinter or continue the neglectful parent trope. Again, I’m not saying he did everything right, he def could have spent more time with his kids on an individual basis and he should’ve been more present, but let’s cut him some slack bc he did a really good job at raising the boys. And he got so much better as the show progressed! But that’s another post lol. I’m also not trying to take away Raphs oldest sibling syndrome, he still def has that from being the leader and watching his bros while splinter was away-I’m just saying he didn’t have to do it ALL alone.

Look in the end he’s doing his best and his best was really good for what they had. He’s a good dad, he’s not neglectful.

I would like some sleepy donnie representation.

I love that people always has the “donnie stays up late to do work “ headcanon in fanfic . (And im not saying i dont like it ! I love it actually. I just think we need him asleep)

But imagine him being a sleepy genius . 89% of the time he’s sleeping . Want to ask him something? Too bad , he’s asleep on his desk and will be grumpy if you wake him up .

He falls asleep on

• the couch

• his bed (obviously)

•his desk

•leo

•raph

•mikey

• against a wall

•splinter

•wherever they are when they stop for a second on a mission

• anywhere .

Let .him .sleep .

Before you scold me about how amazing of a father RiseSplinter is compared to 2012Splinter, I would like to helpfully remind you that RiseSplinter’s sons’ spent years chasing Lou’s validation and Yoshi is continually depicted causally telling his boys that he is proud of them as well as the fact that even if Donnie did make him more retromutageon, he would rather remain with them as a mutant down in the sewers than return to his previous life as a human.

Examples? Well-

Season 1, Ep 13: I, Monster

“Sensei? Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I am fine. Thanks to you. You did well, my son.”

“We did pretty good too, huh?”

“Yes. I am proud of you all.”

Season 2, Episode 16: The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman

“I’m sorry, Master Splinter. I wanted to change you back. But I swear, if it’s the last thing I do, I’ll-”

“Do not fret, my son. I am content with what I have become. I have no place in the human world anymore. This… Is my home. You four… Are my family.”
