Hi,

I'm going on an indefinite hiatus for now. I'm just too tired. Thank you so much for your support over the past year! I love you tons!! 🖤

Not a request just curious. What is your opinion on Raph? For 03 and 12 since I know you like him in the bay movies and 07.

I love all his versions! If Raph has one fan, it's me; if he has zero fans, I'm dead. I would defend him in absolutely everything. I will be there for him in his good and bad times!!

Jokes aside, Raph is always the 'hot-tempered' one, but in every version, he's loyal, brave, self-reliant, and soft at heart. He truly loves his family!

However, there’s always something about his character that I don’t quite love—it's when his anger goes too far, mostly because he struggles to manage his emotions. For instance, in the 2012 version, he was much rougher with Mikey, to the point where it sometimes felt more like outright bullying than playful brotherly teasing, at least in my opinion. At times, his temper came across as more rude than anything else. While I haven’t rewatched the show in a while, that was the impression I had when I first saw it.

Same goes for the 2003 version, and this is more of a ramble since the last time I rewatched the series was around 2021, but Raph was still pretty rough with Mikey here, too. However, 2003 Mikey was a lot cheekier and knew how to handle him better, so it didn’t stand out as much. Plus, this Raph was like the embodiment of recklessness. Still, he could read situations better, tone it down, and stop when asked or reasoned with—unlike the 2012 version, who, in my opinion, was more stubborn.

Jumping to 2018, I think Rise Raph is such a refreshing take on his character! He’s always looked out for his brothers, protected them, and had his caring moments in other versions, but here we get 'full-on mama hen' Raph, and I love it! This Raph is unapologetically tender and kind, hesitant to say anything that might hurt others, and much more mindful of the impact his words could have. He's just a little too silly, your honor.

Anyway, yeah, I love him in every version, but the 2007 Raph is my absolute favorite! I won’t even get into that because I might end up writing a whole essay, lol.

Sending in 10, 19, n 23 for the tmnt ask meme, please n ty ^-^

Hi! Thanks for asking ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

10. How much tmnt merch do you own?

Not much, actually. A couple of Hot Wheels of Turtle Van from some time ago and stuffed animals with big heads and small bodies, one of each ninja guy. I'm not that big on merch :')

19. Give ONE character a gun.

MIKEY

23. If you could have a tmnt crossover with ANY other series, which would it be?

2007 + Rise would be fucking hilarious

YESSSS Sorry for the inactivity; my job has a big grip on me, and I'm so mentally drained that I can't bring myself to write at the end of the day. But I'm doing great!
