opening up comms to get a rental apartment. My situation at home is dicey and I'm generally unwelcome. Link to my Ko-fi if you wanna help out.
I low-key love how 87 Splinter willingly went to live in the sewers before mutating. He's the only human Splinter to be in the sewer before being mutated. Imagine being a random citizen in New York and seeing what looks like a normal Japanese guy walking down the street with his groceries, but then he disappears into a manhole. Like. WHAT?
And then there's the legends of the sewer cryptid, they see less and less of the sewer man, until he disappears app together.
I get that he technically is there because he was exiled, but it's just really funny that after moving countries he just deadass goes "yeah I can live the sewer life".
No wonder the turtles are silly little goblins, they learned from the best.
I love whenever 87 April calls Vernon a wimp then runs headfirst into incredible danger. Like go girl, give us everything.
Like yeah she gets captured a lot but then she'll also bust out "aha i will disassemble your spine if you don't let me free" and honestly I believe her. They nerfed this woman by never giving her a weapon, if she had one she would be too powerful for this world.
Shadow: pushes Sonic's face into his food
also Shadow: I've had Sonic for 23 years. If anything happened to him I'd kill everyone in the room and then myself
Sonic:.......Shadow I'm 15?????????????
Rouge: he's confused but he has spirit.
Sonic: guys I'm 15 right??? IM 15 RIGHT?!
Knuckles, nodding: yeah. Shadow has the right idea.
Sonic: GUYS IM HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS HERE-
I'm falling asleep, and suddenly get hit with the reminder Shadow the Hedgehog unironically says "I'm the coolest" in SA2. And it reminds me every time that he is not cool or stoic at all.
He's literally that one meme like:
Knuckles: Sonic do you ever want to talk about your feelings?
Sonic: nah.
Shadow: I do.
Knuckles: I know Shadow.
Shadow: I'm mad.
Knuckles: I know Shadow.
like actually I think he's kind of a loser and I love that for him.
One thing I think is funny about Donatello is he is absolutely unhinged no matter which iteration.
Like, yeah Rise Donnie is probably the most overt version of completely unhinged Donatello because he'd chug Uranium and fistfight Cthulhu. And you have whatever is going on with 2012 Donnie and that version of April 😨. But I would like to bring up some of the absolutely hilarious unhinged things some of the other Donnie's have done.
87 Donatello:
-has a personality altering ray that caused so many shenanigans but he kept anyways
-frequently talks about how he wishes he was a regular turtle with no higher thought
-was electrocuted once which convinced him he was Batman then proceeded to try and off Shredder on his own (and almost succeeded)
-literally just makes things blow up for fun
-if at first brains don't succeed, violence is the answer. (he's got a temper than can rival most Raphael's)
-he likes being in jail
03 Don:
-nearly drove himself insane trying to save his dad from cyberspace
-saw some rabbit making googoo eyes at his brother and chose violence.
-also makes bombs and missiles for fun
-Raph's #1 enabler (you'd think it's Mikey but no. Mikey eggs Raph on a ton but no. it's Don. they're the og disaster twins)
07 Donnie:
-bro works IT. That's it. That's the post lol.
I'm not familiar with the comics, IDW or Mirage, so I can't really comment on them. But I'm pretty convinced Mirage Donatello would be a war criminal.
Also Bayverse isn't included because I hate them.
Shadow the hedgehog is incredibly silly.
Rouge: Can you please come to Sonic's birthday party this year?
Shadow: no he's dumb and stupid and annoying and I hate him.
Rouge: ...Woah look over there? Is that Sonic sacrificing himself to save the world at his birthday party again?
Shadow: WHERE?! rushes off to save Sonic and/or tell him he's stupid
Shadow at the party: I hate you
Rouge and Sonic: yeah keep telling yourself that buddy.
