[tmnt-mostly-12]

been really into rise lately and god, I really want a fic where April really integrates foot — maybe a canon divergence where splinter never sees her shirt and knows of her new job, it would be SO fun if April works at the foot shack and is just like yes, a job she’s keeping for a while now ^^! and then… she starts Noticing odd stuff, and eventually discovers the FOOT SECRET EVIL CLAN BEHIND THE SHOES SHOP, and one thing leans to another and she ends up….. being apart? of the foot clan???? what I really wanted to get to lmao was an April & Cassandra fic<333333 where April in the foot, mostly by accident and now is… undercover? and them getting close and BONDING and BEING FRIENDS and April is like… huh…. She’s actually very nice to get to know…. gosh it would be SO fun and SO good. I need to write it 😫

2012 Mikey strikes me as some who has the mechanics of cooking and baking down. Like he can fold and twist dough, pipe intricate icing designs, and do tons of other complicated baking/cooking skills with relative ease.

However, he unfortunately has no sense of taste when making food. So, he will add things that should absolutely not go into the dish he is preparing. 2012 Mikey basically has the magical ability to never burn or undercook anything, but the food is made up of such bizarre ingredients that it’s inedible anyways.

Coloured art of Don, from TMNT 2003, in TMNT 2012 Donnie’s body and TMNT 2012 Casey.

Side view drawing of Don. He has a hand to his mouth and is giggling as he says “sorry hihi!” in purple.

Casey is shouting angrily. Only his head is drawn, and his left arm, that is flailing around. His eyes are large, and completely white, drawn angled down. There are angry indications on his face and around it. He’s saying, “SHUT UP!” Text written in black, under Don’s. With the “UP” underlined.

VIDEO ID: Incomplete edit of the episodes, Turtle temper and Monkey brains. Featuring intersected scenes between Donnie and Raph, who are fighting Dr. Falco and Spider Bitez respectively. /END ID

work in progress for an edit I’m doing and NNNGHHH, it’s extremely fun but also annoying. having to tell myself on repeat this is first time I’m doing this shit…. it’s gonna be like this…. and because the programme I’m using isn’t like top tier soooo nnnghhh. but I have to say again: it’s extremely fun and excited about/wondering how the end product would turn out. also, seriously, I never thought it would be this fun wtf

[confused-lil-bean]

Gzawg also writes some fics so fell free to check them out

Also, Ig you could write some more non-tdtd things onto the sign

Two drawings depicting a scene.

1: drawing of April and Casey, from TMNT 2012. April is drawn in orange and Casey in black. Only their heads are drawn. You can only see the back of April’s head as she is looking at Casey, saying “is something wrong, casey?” “…casey?” Casey is glaring intensely at something off screen, with angry indications on his face and around him.

2: Don, from Tmnt 2003, in Donnie’s body, drawn in purple. He’s wearing a joyful smile with flowers around him. He’s holding up a sign that says “you go buddy” and text written in black under him saying “I’m going to strangle this turtle with my bare hands…”

Beneath are the same drawings of Don but edited over so the sign says different things.

1. I hope you fucking die

2. There’s smth on your face

3. Sorry she doesn’t like ugly ppl (like you)

3. Blank, no written words on it.

rewatching my beloved episodes, manhattan project pt1&2, and a scene that always bothered me was — the bit where leo calls splinter when tiger claw (which tigerrrr clawww biggest fan of him omg. the COOLEST design — this ep is awesome thing after another. I forgot his debut was during this ep<3) anyways. when leo calls master splinter when tiger claw dangles Mikey over death..

Raph is angry at him and thinks it’s a terrible plan but like. It was literally Mikey or Call splinter in that moment. And even when leo repeats this, Raph.. just doesn’t actually respond to this part? And seems to repeat what a bad idea it is.

the first times I watched I was just so ?????? Raph did you want Mikey to die???? but of course that’s so silly, it’s Mikey. Raph would never but then what is his Problem. and I realised probably, Raph himself recognised this. I mean he had to know Leo had no choice in the moment but to give in to Tiger claw, they were in a loss.

Perhaps… in his own frustration and etc at this situation that had no win, he just lashes out to Leo. But I’m sure if Raph was in the same place, he’d call Splinter too. Also what I find interesting if the way Raph is very aware of splinter’s capabilities, like :( the idea of leading his father to an obvious trap is something he hates despite knowing that splinter might fair well against it ahhhhhhh

(And the way Raph says all of this in front of Mikey… bro has to internalise this shit. Gosh I wanna write a fic now about that)

Alsooo oh gosh, it kills me when Leo goes “I thought master splinter would/could handle it” MANNNN. :’

How 03 Donatello is "sensible":

Snarks at his captors

Take off the Professor's head you know he panicked

Didn't hesitate to throw a missile at another vehicle

Throws sarcasm comments at a almost brain dead scientist

Make devices to literally 10x more deadlier than anything Foot Clan and others can come up with

Will literally kill a being to get close to his brothers

Kills Shredder

Chases Raphael with a sledge hammer

Finally got around to watching showdown pt1+2 and what the f, these eps are more fun than I remembered. I love it so much<333 all the turtle reactions<333 it’s the Best.

[tmntaucompetition]

Thank u @karonkar for letting the discord know it’s TMNT day HAPPY TMNT DAY EVERYONE

[mattpurplehoodie]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[yosuro4stars]

HAPPY TMNT DAY YALL💚

SOME1 TELL ME NEXT YEAR SO IMMA DRAW THEM ALL TOGETHER 💔

[tmnt-mostly-12]

okay you know what. personally when I started watching shredder strikes back part 1, I thought it was a weak episode. I liked the mikey&don&raph at aprils, but considering how much fun I was having rewatching the prev episodes, it was disappointing that this next ep wasn’t as fun. I think it’s mostly cuz djjdjdjd the Leo stuff was DRAGGEDDD on. but looking after heckin heck, part 2( which I Love So Much, ahhhh) and the tales of Leo. IM SOOOOO. like I can see the lead up to to that being good but still think they could do better and of course I need to rewatch part 1 again to see how..

anyways… very very very fun arc for Leo. tho I have Many Thoughts.

DONTELLO | TMNT 2003 S1EP16 - THE KING

This absolutely killed me. Don has no idea what’s on the other side. He doesn’t even decide to tell anyone—not counting Kirby (who was already there and doesn’t know his bros). And then he doesn’t even respond to Kirby’s “Be Careful”.

No wonder SAINW’s Donatello straight up disappears one day; with the others having no clue abt what happened/where he went. Hell, Donatello was nearly trapped in this other dimension at the end of the episode.

raph’s lil fond face after their sparing gets to me gah. <3

NICE TRY, LEO | TMNT 2012 - RISE OF THE TURTLES PT 1

[atalante241]

Tmnt 2003 au where Splinter never made his way into to the sewers after the turtles. Thus causing them to mutate by their lonesome.

So now I give you!: four babies raising each other in the New York sewers and somehow not dying & learning the hard way to stay away from humans!

How long would it take them to learn how to walk or talk? Because they can still see & hear people through sewer grates and magazines. As babies they’re shown to be comfortable walking of fours, only standing on two to try to imitate Splinter. (I’m pretty sure) And there’s multiple times in the show where they as teenagers just take on full frog stance for balance.

They’d still know how to fight. Obviously not like ninjas but still fight. Theres literally a giant albino crocodile(?) in the New York sewers.

Additionally, the danger of them getting dragged into the Foot v Utrom conflict is high bc at some point some side is gonna take notice of them.

Bradford and Mikey, Raph and Spuds, and to extent, Mikey and Rod…. Something exists here…. :/

[copy and pasted my tags below n added stuff to them]

#something something the turtles finding human that GETS them/a human friend who also happen to be older than them

#but it turns out they aren’t solely here for the turtle

#of course each dynamic is very different

#like Bradford specifically starts off as their antagonist. he doesn’t like mikey. he just keeps pretenses to get more info on him

#originally Mikey came to him as a friend. which of course Bradford decided to use against him

#but mikey genuinely had so much fun :( and was being friends with him and etc and was happy and then finds out that brad wasn’t That Friend

#and it looks like he hasn’t like forgotten that or maybe quite got over it through the series

#considering the way never say xever where he apologised for dropping Bradford they had captured. space arc where he watches his show

#and the cardboard cut outs of him he has

#and I don’t think necessarily except for the never say xever ep that means Mikey isn’t over it. But it is…

#Saying Something

#Raph and spud. he’s his trainer. I forgot exactly how they met up… I know it was mentioned somewhere but like gahhhh Raph finding someone who

#gets him. understands him and means a lot to him cuz his brothers don’t get him but like spud clearly looks like he doesn’t believe it in

#and only encourages his fighting and then later leads him to arena for all a big trap. which SUCKS nothing of it was real

#THIS ONE GETS TO ME SO MUCH

#RAPH…. :’

#and as for mikey and rod. it seems more genuine than the others but it’s like rod wants his blood and tries to kidnap them

#he intrudes in mikey’s space. we never really find out exactly why mikey thinks that rod gets him and what they have in common

#and it’s like mikey saying that his brothers are .. jeez I forget the exact speech but basically he wants to be that for rod

#it’s not exactlyyy like the others but has same gives of older person who is friends with the turtles but like. kinda taking advantage of it

#at least Mikey finds leatherhead and then mondo gecko

#tho sadly there wasn’t really a conclusion for Raph’s tale after he looses the arena etc

#and as for Mikey and rod. they do well?

#actually I can’t remember the conclusion of that arc well tbh

#but it wasn’t all… rounded? I guess?

#i mean rod and his family become closer from what I remember but what was his dynamic with Mikey…

#too lazy to look it up JDKKDKDK
