Do you remember my old profile picture? It was just a screenshot:
When I decided to change it, my first thought was “I’ll just remake it myself, how hard can it be?”
And then this happened (which I somehow never posted, until now):
BUT☝️ I also did this one: a drawing I made from scratch while following a random TikTok tutorial.
Is it disproportionate? Yes.
Are the arms weird? Also yes.
Do I care? Not really.
Because it felt so caricature-ish and so me that I just went: yeah, this is the one. (No thoughts. Just vibes.)
This is obviously just my own opinion, but I swear you can always tell when something is (more) authentic.
And most of the time, it’s the imperfection that makes it work.
Those of you who’ve been here since the very beginning (back in late 2023) probably noticed that this blog has changed a lot. At first, I only posted screenshots and reblogs. Then I randomly decided to start doing analysis, and I began with Mutant Mayhem because there was genuinely something about that movie that deeply unsettled me and no one was talking about it.
Little by little, I stopped sharing screenshots… or if I do now, it’s more in a meme format. There were also like two months where I completely disappeared and honestly thought I wasn’t coming back, but then the obsession bit me again 😆
And then last year, that first fic happened. After a lot of hesitation, I ended up sharing it.
So I became a fanfic writer 🤡 But I also kind of reconnected with drawing (more or less…).
I’ve also shared more personal stuff, made moots and play tag games, and I care less and less about anonymity now lol I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s pretty obvious this blog will keep evolving. A lot of people who’ve followed me since the start might not be as interested in what I post now, or in what I’ll post in the future. And that’s fine— all of that is normal.
It’s still a tmnt blog (mostly rottmnt, sorry if you followed me for other iterations 🙃), and I think it’ll ALWAYS have that side to it. I joined tumblr to be part of the fandom, and believe it or not, tmnt is the only fandom I’m in <3
Anyway… a lot of blah blah just to say a lot and nothing at the same time (and also that I’m thinking about making some little changes to the blog, nothing too radical, at least not content-wise… but maybe with my profile picture 👀).
