Hi Just Thinking About Splinter Who Went From A Dashing Internationally Loved Superstar To A Hideous

Hi just thinking about Splinter who went from a dashing internationally loved superstar to a hideous mutant who has to raise four rowdy boys alone in hiding while struggling with latent trauma from his mom abandoning him, cutting himself off from his family, and getting betrayed by the love of his life. Thinking about how him “letting himself go” wasn’t just written for jokes but from a place of unspoken depression. Thinking about how he never shared any of this with his boys and never projected his trauma onto them but his distance led to them being starved for affection. Thinking about how much they ADORE him even when he’s blatantly neglectful, insinuating that he does pay attention when it matters. And don’t get me started on his movies dubbing his accent over or how separated he became from his own culture, leading to parallels to the Asian immigrant experience.  He’s a flawed parent. He’s an okay sensei. He’s a loving father. He’s a badass family man. ROTTMNT really looked at the boring one dimensional mentor with culturally insensitive stereotypes in past iterations and went nah we can do better. 

And then they made us all cry.

First 4 panels of an 8-panel comic. Header reads: "Jan 21st-28th. Global Strike for Palestine." The first panel reads: "Bisan Owda has called for a global strike from Jan. 21st to 28th. Do what you can to call attention to the occupation and genocide, be disruptive, and push for a ceasefire! Any amount helps! Perfectionism and defeatism don't make a difference, but taking any action on this list might."

Panel 2 depicts a person walking away from speech bubbles containing a phone and a computer. Text reads: "Call out from work or school. Do it with other folks if possible, to disrupt normal operations."

Panel 3 depicts a person hanging up flyers on a wall in the street. Text reads: "Share flyers and information."

Panel 4 depicts a person on a phone call, and writing an email at their laptop. Text reads: "Urge political figures to take action. Threaten to rescind your support if they don't."

Man I love some good ol Redson angst :3

“Ink” (I swear this totally matches the prompt)

Man I Love Some Good Ol Redson Angst :3

This ended up as more fanart for @pittdpeaches fic “A Garden Across Our Collarbone” cause I was thinking and my brain went “hmm ink… Redson spilled ink on himself that one time”

Also Peonies would make awesome tattoos so yeah that’s my reasoning XD

If I got a nickel every time a cartoon I love

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

based on a book

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

based on mythology

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

about a teenage boy

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gives him powers

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

that's being sought by this cocky guy with daddy issues

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who's right arm is mechanical some of the time

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and his Dad is this massive guy with big horns (and sometimes glowy blue eye(s))

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who's being manipulated by a powerful woman

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

that he freed from her centuries old prison

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who may have had noble ambitions in the past, but now has been consumed by power

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and the woman possesses a young girl in order to get what she wants

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and sacrifices the lives of her minions in order to unleash her ultimate weapon ->

(Dozens of Gum Gums) (Spider Queen, Huntsman, Syntax, Goliath, Not- Mayor) You know what I'm talking about :(

and she's got this indentured servant *cough "Slave" cough* (with pretty gold eyes 😘)

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who she refers to as "Her Champion"

who travels using shadows (I could not find a single picture of Angor Rot using his shadow staff)

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who was really sweet and kind in his past but then... well... stuff happened

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and has lost his right eye

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and he's been killed before

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

but the big bad restores him back to life so she can use him

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and he gets a redemption arc at the end of season three

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and the main character doesn't have a bio Dad, but he attracts plenty of father figures throughout the course of the show

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and he gains a non-human form that makes him even more powerful

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and him and the others gain an armor upgrade at the same time

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and the girl of the team has short black hair with dyed stripes

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and you know the guy with daddy issues who wanted to steal his artifact in the beginning? He becomes one of the protagonist's closest friends

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and there's this gentle giant character

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

who becomes one of my most beloved characters of all time 💕💕💕

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and he has a history of violence and trauma

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and has now vowed to be a devote pacifist

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

but breaks his vow in order to protect the people he loves (with angry glowy eyes to boot)

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

and has a deep love for cats (yes, I did just do that)

If I Got A Nickel Every Time A Cartoon I Love

...then I would have two nickels.

Which isn't very much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

(That last drawing was made by @jezfez81. Thank you for letting me use it!)

What the heck happened?!?! This was just supposed to be a comparison between Sandy and AAARRRGGHH!!! Where did all these comparisons come from?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?

(this took way too long to make, please give it some love :3 )
