Can we still make and post Rise content until then? YES! As long as we flood the internet with as many posts as possible on August 15 and 16. Make sure to stockpile and then release all your posts into the wild!
What else can I do that would help Rise’s chances? Stream the movie and the show on those two days. Having the viewership suddenly increase on Paramount and Netflix would also greatly increase its chances! ALSO! Like and support as much Rise content/posts on that day! Every little bit counts! Even if you can’t draw, write, or create, you can ALWAYS like, reblog, retweet, and share!
What else can I do? Sign the petitions below if you haven’t already! AND! Spam the petitions on those days, draw Nickelodeon’s attention to them.
Now that I have FINALLY SEEN Mutant Mayhem, thoroughly enjoyed it, and stopped vibrating at lightspeed in excitement.
I would like to share the turt gear I made for mineself to watch the movie in, during the month long wait, for anyone whomst may find it interesting.
Also, may I say thankyou to the turtle fandom at large for being so conscientious about spoilers, as an Aussie fan, I really appreciated it.
Details for fellow weirdos under the cut ;)
So first item up on the roster, this ULTRA SOFT sideless tank
I went with the 2012 Hamato clan symbol (cause it's perty) in super soft-autism friendly-stretch applique.
The loose cowl neck is meant to evoke the last-surviours-club look (Casey Jr, Future!Leo, Ronin, ect.)
And I went with the sideless muscle tank, not only because it's comfy and i like the look, but because to me, it calls to mind the fact that the '03 boy's carapaces' and plastrons aren't connected, if their sides are squishy and vulnerable, then so should be mine.
NEXT my beloved sling bag
(which i actually made last year, but it was part of my movie-going ensemble so tckpbtblpfg)
You may note, the straps thickness, and the placement of the buckles, mimick 2012 Leo's sheath straps.
And I whipped up a quick and messy hanger charm of the '18 boys to replace its standard eye dango for the day.
And the masskkss
Stretchy material offcuts, bought from my fav fabric store (which happens to be within walking distance of flying bark studio headquarters NO IM STILL NOT OVER IT)
I couldn't figure out a good way to SEW sew these, so they're a no-sew sandwiched design, using mistyfuse and a see-through white mesh. I could've stood to make the eyes more dramatically shaped, but the mesh holds their shape and looks way less weird than actually being able to see your eyes.
They're all pretty soft and not horrendously uncomfortable pressed against one's eye sockets (Leo's is the softest by far tho) so you can wear 'em for long enough to jump around like a maniac without triggering too many sensory issues, Yay!
Long tail Mikey Mask and 'classic' Donnie mask where worn by the friends who accompanied me, other Mikey mask for a friend who had work that day.
The '18 Donnie mask went in all its eyebrow glory upon my wrist, in memorial of my friend who's overseas rn and I couldn't drag along.
Leo's was mine, and we didn't have a Raph, but I brought it with me anyway, cause im allergic to not having all four.
I'm somewhat frustrated I couldn't come up with an '87 inspired piece, but I'll work one out at some point.
My full 'fit for movie viewing was sick as, though you'll have to take my word for it, but needless to say it was Casey Sr inspired in sillouette and attitude.
If I may voice something that has frustrated me immensely over the past year.
I got into ROTTMNT shortly after the release of the movie, and wanted to watch all of it legally so I could financially back the show.
I live in Australia.
Over here only the movie is available on Netflix.
And Paramount+ only has season 1.
I tried my best, I really did, to pay for and consume the whole thing legally, but alas I was unable to obtain season 2 (although I have since watched it)
Now this is a normal problem with regional licensing restrictions right? Like this issue is not unique to either Australia as a country or Rise as a cartoon.
Why I'm salty, is because i have LITERALLY walked passed Flying Bark Studio headquaters MULTIPLE TIMES when just out to get craft supplies, and the irony of that really chafes me.
This is in the credits of season 2, and yet I can't watch it here. Wild.
