TMNT incorrect quotes

Raph: surgery is just stabbing someone to life.

Donnie: please never become a surgeon.

You sat at the table, looking at the box while fumbling with it in your hands

Only a couple weeks ago, the turtles interrupted you while you relaxed in the comfort of your apartment

You were unwinding after a long day, bathed in candlelight and sipping on some sweet wine

Suddenly Mikey and Raph crashed down on your balcony while Leo and Donnie were standing in the hallway (damn them for being ninjas)

And it was no accident, they intentionally scared the living fuck out of you

Throwing the glass of wine across your living room you let out a high pitched scream and fell to the floor

As they were all laughing hysterically, you made it your mission to get back at them

So you waited patiently until the right moment would present itself

And today it finally did

Tearing at the tape of the cardboard box, you ripped it open and triumphantly eyed the object inside

Quietly getting to your feet, you lightly stepped towards the dojo

Stopping at the door, you grasped at the knob and ever so slowly turned the handle

Silently peering in, you saw the turtles in the middle of the room

Sitting in an indian style pose, their hands on their knees in an om position, eyes closed, they all quietly meditated

Keeping your intrusion a secret, you leaned your hand into the slightly opened door, grasping at the white can

Using your index and middle fingers, you positioned them on the button of the small red horn

Using your other hand, you braced yourself on the door frame

This was it, you were going to get even with them

Firmly pressing down on the red controller the sound almost took your breath away

The damn Titanic might as well have been pulling into port with the booming blare coming from the small white can

Slamming the door shut while falling back, you laughed your ass off while leaning on the floor

You could here the cacophony of yelling and cuss words coming from turtles inside

Quickly getting to your feet, you ran down the hall and heard the door swing open

You may have gotten even, but the thunderous footsteps running towards you signified you were in for a serious ass whooping

I was bored at work when this little drabble came into my head. My mind is a scary place sometimes. Much love 😘🤣

For TMNT 2012 Fanfic Writers, Can I Have Some Pointers on How to Portray The Characters as Close to Canon?

I’m storyboarding a long TMNT 2012 fic and I’m nervous that I won’t portray the characters accurately.

I need some pointers.

Here are the characters:

1. The Turtles

2. April & Casey

3. Splinter

4. Karai

5. Shinigami

6. Tiger Claw

7. Mighty Mutanimals

8. Mona Lisa

9. Renet

10. Alopex

11. Pulverizer/Timothy

12. Fugitoid

13. Bishop

Thank you so much to anyone who replies.

Are There Any Actors That You Want to Voice a TMNT Character?

I don’t really have that many since I never really focus on a celebrity’s voice and say, “Their voice can fit this character.”

But, if I think about it for a moment, I think Jesse McCartney(he voices Nightwing in Young Justice) would be good for Leo or Donnie since Nightwing is generally similar to them.

Ryan Potter could be a good Leo or Mikey since he’s done a fun and naive kind of character like Beast Boy from Titans.

Maybe Will Smith could be a good Bebop. 2012 Bebop had this sly, comedic attitude and I think Will Smith would do a good job.

Ron Pearlman would do really good as Bishop similar to the 2003 series. He has a sinister and calculated voice he used for Slade from Teen Titans.

Stephanie Lemelin(Artemis from Young Justice) would be a cool choice for a more tough and badass April.

I’m interested to see you guys’ choices. 😁

*If you have a specific voice your voice actor choice does, can you mention that so I can what your choice fully meant. Thanks.*

From Most to Least Favorite, How Would You Rank Each TMNT 2003 Seasons?

1. Season 4

Really enjoyed Leo’s arc. I love focusing on the effects the traumatic situation had on a character’s mental health. This season improved Leo greatly.

My only gripe is I wished Bishop was a major villain.

9/10

2. Season 3

I liked a lot of the episodes and it had my favorite final stories like Ultimate Draco and Exodus.

Same As It Never Was was probably my favorite episode, though I wished there was more payoff with it afterwards.

8/10

3. Season 2

S2 has my second favorite finale with the Battle Nexus, and it was an improvement of S1.

It was the season that really got me into the show.

Usagi was a great addition. He’s one of my favorite characters.

7/10

4. Season 1

I didn’t get into this season until the Shredder was a major part of it. I mostly found the introductory episodes meh but it was probably because I wasn’t used to the new iteration yet.

It’s higher since the next seasons are not as great.

6.5/10

5. Season 5

I liked the concept but the execution was not as great.

The plot felt rushed and the villain was meh because it was another Shredder. I would’ve enjoyed the story more if it was a new villain.

The other 4 acolytes didn’t serve a purpose other than the writers trying to digress how special the turtles are, which didn’t work since the turtles became the dragons like their mystical instructors.

6/10

6. Season 6

The new setting and concept barely keeps this season from last place.

It was a new fresh take, but the more childish tone ruined it for me. Total tone shift distract me most of the time.

The Dark Turtles, Cody, and Sterling were cool editions tho.

5.5/10

7. Season 7

The last season was… disappointing.

I would’ve preferred this season being about the Turtles learning how to relax after all that happened to them. Like, a moment when everything is peaceful and they are not needed to protect the city. Exploring how to move on from their sense of purpose would’ve been fun to see. It would’ve coincided well with April x Casey’s wedding since they are also move towards a different path.

4.5/10

My Version of the Hamato Family

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and liking part one. It made my day!

So, this is where I shine in writing. I love creating characters and their backstory; it’s so fun. I think it is more important to focus on characters than the plot since a character can create the storyline- well at least for me.

I’m excited to share! Hope you enjoy!

Comment your thoughts! It would be cool to read them! 😁

……………………..

 Leonardo:

We’re starting with the usual leader-in-blue!

Although I adore Leo, his “perfect” personality can get a little boring. His versions usually have flaws, though they are the kind that makes you sympathize with him rather than feeling indifferent like with Raph’s anger issues.

Season 1 Leo would be a toned-down Rise Leo. He can be cocky when he succeeds over his brothers and would jokingly comment how he is Splinter’s favorite. However, it doesn’t come without hard work. Leo trains the most out of his brothers and spends most of his time studying fighting techniques. He is not naturally talented in ninjitsu like the past incarnations. Also, Leo’s motivations for training very hard and wanting to be leader is more for himself than anything.

Compared to his brothers, Leo was relatively average. Donnie was extremely smart, Mikey had his kind and joyful soul, and Raph was naturally a great fighter. Leo felt left out and decided that training to be a hero would be his way of standing out. He also believed that being special like his brothers was the only way to get Splinter’s attention; and it kind of worked. With all the progress Leo made, Splinter praised him, and they had a way to connect.

Around the beginning of S1(maybe ep. 5), Leo became the leader though how was different. Instead of Splinter deciding, the brothers did; the explanation was the turtles were a team and should make a consensus as one. This news made Leo ecstatic; he was finally living his dreams. Even so, he didn’t realize the baggage and responsibility a leader had to shoulder. Over the course of the story Leo grows as a great leader and fighter.

The Karai/Leo subplot will follow the 2003 version. He is convinced that Karai is a good person and tries to have her switch sides. There will be romantic feelings but its not the main motivation for both of their actions. I can’t say too much since this plot revolves around Karai more.

   Donatello:

Donnie is a blend of 2003/12 versions. He is intelligent with an extremely high IQ and was a gifted child. However, his intelligence came with a cost; making connections with his brothers and father was really tough for him because of their different interests. This left him withdrawing from everyone and focusing on his inventions. His social skills evolve once the turtles visit the city and meet April. The increasing danger of the Kraang further builds his relationships since communication is important in teamwork, and Donnie’s talent in inventing grew more in the spotlight.

Because of her fascination with Donnie’s smarts and inventions, April and Donnie become good friends as the story continues. Donnie also gets close with April’s best friend, Irma since they are science lovers. At first, Casey irritates him as they have clearly different personality; Casey’s impulsive and extroverted attitude conflicting with Donnie’s plan-based mindset.

Donnie’s love for his family is showcased after witnessing a terrifying, apocalyptic future where his family suffers. Paranoia sets in. His work to calculate the cause of this terrible, and its solution leads Donnie to rarely take care of his needs. He has to learn to trust in others instead of doing things alone.

 Raphael:

Unlike Leo, Raph is instantly gifted in fighting. He has more physical strength than his brothers and would constantly beat them in practice. Since childhood, Raph was Splinter’s “favorite” in the dojo and that definitely got into the red-banded turtle’s head. He would brag to his brothers and jokingly poke fun at their techniques. It wouldn’t affect anyone. Except for Leo.

Raphael’s ego started taking hits once Leo caught up to him and beating him in practice once in a while. It turned into anger after noticing Master Splinter praising Leo more. The tension soured their brotherhood. Unlike most versions, Raph’s anger is fueled by insecurity. He believes that fighting is the only thing he is good at and will get territorial if his spotlight is threatened.

Throughout the story, he learns to move on from his demons and realize his worth.

Family is important to Raph. He can be hard on his brothers yet will do anything to keep them safe, especially Mikey- his positivity must be protected. Casey and Raph become best friends for their similarities and love for fighting- they are impulsive bros.

 Michelangelo:

Mikey’s role is to be the positive and glue of the team. He loves to make people happy and would always do something goofy or kind to do that. His family have nothing bad to say about their youngest member and are very protective of him. The youngest brother doesn’t take ninjitsu as seriously as skateboarding, dancing, or just general fun. Though, he will be serious when the situation calls for it, such as the fate of his family and the world.

Although being an open ear to anyone, Mikey is not open to expressing his negative emotions due to his fear of damaging the family dynamic. It is noticeable when he is upset because he jokes more often and not focus. A lesson he must learn is to accept the good and the bad. Mikey can be reckless, mostly when his brothers rarely let him participate in missions. He wants to prove to his family that he is strong enough to protect himself and others. Reading people is his best skill and takes great pride in it, usually taking on the role of a therapist.

 Splinter/Hamato Yoshi:

I really wanted to take Splinter’s role in the Shredder’s descent to evil in the grayer area. He is usually the victim/innocent party of the story, which can get boring after a while.

Hamato Yoshi was born as the heir to Hamato Clan and childhood best friend of Oroku Saki. The Hamato and Foot clan were allies for centuries and would usually fight by each other’s side. Matters changed when the Foot’s beliefs grew more sinister. This left the Hamato Clan to eradicate their former ally. Splinter saved Saki before he could be killed, though, it came with consequences. Oroku Saki vowed to exact revenge for his fallen home. Growing up, Splinter became one of the strongest martial artists in Japan and married a woman named Tang Shen, later becoming a father to a girl. His world ended once he saw his clan destroyed and his family killed by the renewed Foot Clan.

Yoshi decided to move to New York and forget his old life. Years later, the martial artist noticed strange people caging defenseless animals. He would fight them long enough to protect four humanoid turtles, deciding to keep them after a moment of compassion. Splinter would continuously fight the strange men until a strange liquid turned him into a rat. This turning point banished Splinter and the turtles to the sewers for protection.

Splinter equally loves his sons. He would always make sure to give them equal amounts of love to avoid lasting issues. Though, he has made some mistakes. Emotions were rarely discussed because of Splinter’s unintentionally withdrawn attitude. The rat master wouldn’t instantly notice problems between his sons, and usually didn’t know how to resolve them. No matter what, Splinter is proud of his children and would do anything to keep them safe; sometimes not realizing that it could hurt them.

Hamato Yoshi’s guilt and trauma over the terrible moments in his life would be the main focus of his development.

2003 Shredder Rant

Am I the only one who was annoyed the writers kept “tricking” the audience into thinking Shredder was dead?

It was so annoying. I was fine with it the first time since one fake death usually happens in shows. But doing this over 4 times is excessive and bland. This writing choice really made it hard for me to keep going with TMNT 2003. Killing off the Shredder wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Bringing new villains would have been fun and unique. A version of Shredder was the villain for every season except S6. There was Utrom Shredder, Karai Shredder, Demon Shredder, and Cyber Shredder.

This over reliance was the show’s crutch.

I still enjoyed watching the show tho.

Rise Leo Headcanon #2

Leo sometimes rick rolls his family.

He has enough lovable, chaotic energy to do this. He dabs and that is pretty much a meme. 😂 The one he would torture the most is Donnie. His "twin" would retaliate by hacking into his phone and have it constantly play Leo's least favorite songs.

Hi everyone! Ever since I’ve seen some Instagram posts about TMNT fans’ versions of the show, I’ve wanted to do this. But most of them had drawings so I felt insecure since I’m not a great artist. But I still wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, lets get this started.

Note: This is in beta and changes might happen in the future.

…………………………………

It all starts similarly like the other versions.

The turtles want to explore the city and sneak out. Everything is as normal as New York can be, but it changes when the ninja turtles come across a certain red head (😉) sneaking around. They follow her and discover an alien ship. Having no choice to take the role as the new girl’s protectors, the turtles watch over as she gains information on the aliens such as their species- the Kraang- and their objective with Earth. When the girl is captured, the brothers save her and escape.

She reveals herself to be April O’Neil and explains what she was doing. April is a high school sophomore who works in a news station as an intern, and she wants to prove her abilities with a breakout story. Unlike other versions, the turtles and April don’t have an immediate connection and have no expectations to meet again. The turtles are distrustful of humans since their father/sensei warned them that being accepted by humans will be nearly impossible. Due to underlying issues, April is prone to avoiding people and rarely lets anyone in, except her roommate and best friend Irma. It would take a few episodes for their friendship to really grow and develop.

Splinter doesn’t intervene with his sons’ visits to the city for weeks until they come back injured from a Kraang fight. He decides to ban them from leaving the house in his extreme view of keeping them safe. Splinter lifts the rule when he learns the gravity of the Kraang. With that, he trains his sons harder than ever.

The first season focuses on the brothers’ relationship and growth as a team. Leo learns how to mature and become a leader; Donnie learns to follow his instincts more. Raphael learns to get over his insecure and impulsive nature. Mikey learns to be more mature and open with negative feelings.

The Shredder takes a backseat as the villain until season two, though he appears in season one alongside Karai.

[B]“A” Plots:

-Turtles vs. Kraang

-Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey arcs begin: 1-3 episodes will focus on each of them

-April/Turtles’ Friendship

[B]“B” Plots:

-April’s Past

-Splinter’s Past

-Shredder

-Karai/Leo’s Relationship

-Casey/April/Irma Friendship

……………………………

This is all I have so far. I’ve only just started on this and I mostly focused on characterization and character development. I’ll have more info to reveal once I post about the characters. I’ve been thinking about writing my version as a book, but I don’t know. It would be fun to see people’s thoughts.

I hope you enjoyed it! 😊

ROTTMNT : SPIRITS WITHIN THE WEAPONS

Idea info here

HAL

Check out Part 1 here

After spending weeks with the young turtle weilders, Fundi, Oda and Tonfa finally decided to go get Hal.

While their weilders were sleeping— it took them a while to find a day when neither Leo or Donnie were awake— they seem to alternate sleepless nights—— the spirits sneaked back to Draxum's lab and grabbed the Halberd that was left behind.

When they got back to the lair Hal wouldn't come out for over a week.

Eventually Fundi got bored and forced Hal out.

Hal contuined to sulk afterwards when Fundi refused to left him back into the Halberd.

Once Hal started to explore more though, he found Donnie to be really interesting and stuck to him like a shadow.

Unlike the other spirits, Hal decided not to form himself with any of Donnies tech or gear. He prefures all natural.

The spirits stashed the Halberd somewhere hidden in Donnies lab— so far no one has found it.

Hal was suprised by the computers, tech and even simple mundane electrical devices, leading the other spirits to wonder just how old Hal really was— secretly Oda also hadn't known what a computer, phone or even a microwave was.

Hal really enjoys watching Donnie work, whether it's creating new tech or playing games, Hal likes watching Donnie hyperfixate.

Hal can tell when Donnie is over/under simulated quicker than anyone— even Donnie himself sometimes.

Hal doesn't mind that Donnie doesn't use the Halberd. He actually prefures the tech-bo Donnie uses anyway.

Sheldon kinda spooks Hal a little

I finally got around to drawing Hal! This drawing surprisenly didn't take as long as the others, but the next one is going to be an awful lot harder. Still, I think I'm getting better at drawing the turtles.

ROTTMNT : SPIRITS WITHIN THE WEAPONS

Halberd

Nicknames: Hal / Hali / Bert

AU Info here

(Or probably in better terms, more Canon Compliant than AU..?)

Hal has none of his previous memories but believes that if he forgot them so easily then that means they weren't that important to him in the first place. *Shrug*

Due to Donnie leaving him behind, Hal remains formless. 

Hal is reclusive, withdrawn and sarcastic. 

Hal spends a lot of time twirling and vibrating the spiked ball at the end of his chain in his formless self. 

He finds Fundi and Tonfa to be too loud for him, but he gets along with Oda who is more than willing to chill in silence. 

When the young turtles took the other weapons but left Hal behind Hal didn't mind much. Rather he saw this as a well needed break from Fundi's and Tonfa's excessive talking. 

Hal has no sense of time, sometimes days feel like hours and sometimes hours feel like days. 

Hal is more than happy to let his blade go blunt. 

Hal doesn't hate the turtles for leaving him behind. 

Oda is the only one Hal could talk to about his insecurities. 

Hal would feel guilty when he panicked Tonfa.

Does Hal miss the other spirits now that he's alone…? Maybe. A little. A teeny tiny part of him does wish he wasn't alone but he never acknowledges this part of him.

HOLY CRAP I JUST FINISHED THE NEW RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES MOVIE!!!! THAT WAS SO INSANE SOMEONE PLS TALK TO ME ABOUT IT!!

the gangs all here pt2

the gangs all here

ref sheets of my tmnt au (forgive me for how unorganized they look/silly)

I am making a MM Donnie X Amber and it's a soulmate thing where a peice of their hair is their soulmates color and the tmnt don't have hair except their eye lashes and why did it make him look so good?! 💜💜💜

A re-designed tmnt, closer to their original turtle species! The idea and original concept is by thechill_buster on Tiktok!

DUE TO STRESS AND STUFF I DECIDED THAT I WILL ONLY DO THE PARTS OF TMNTEMBER I GENUINELY WANNA DO CUZ I CANT SPIT OUT 22 ART PIECES IN THE SPAN OF TWO DAYS. I might actually finish the rest in October... Idk so here's the first topic I really wanted to talk about and draw:

DAY 13: SCARS, PART 1

oh boy oh boy! More talking less art but it counts.

So here's my idea on the scars, starting with my fav turtle, thus making his scars the WORST cuz I love him, DONATELLO!!

So we all know Donnie got disintegrated into atoms in that one ep right? And then got put together right? Well! I have a headcanon, also a part of my future AU. Basically:

A week or so after the events of the episode, Donnie wakes up in the middle of the night (for some reason idk I'm bad at making up shit). He scratches his head and finds out: his middle finger on his right hand is bleeding. It must've been for a while, cuz there's quite a bit of blood on the bed as well. When did that happen? Did he hurt himself during the day? Why would it start bleeding now? Wanting to continue sleeping, he just puts a bandaid on and goes to sleep again. He wakes up in the morning, and damn. The bandaid is completely drenched in blood, there's a lot of blood on the bed. Oh shit!

He gets up and Immediately runs to the kitchen to tell his brothers. Why won't it stop bleeding? It's just a tiny scratch. After thinking for a while, Leo tries using the healing mantra that Splinter taught him. The bleeding stops! For a whole minute. Then it starts again. This is weird. Really weird. They bandage it for now, sitting down in the kitchen to eat breakfast (pizza ofc idk?). Some time passes, and Casey and April show up to say hello! That's when it hits. Oh no. Donnie quickly runs to his lab, finds his best microscope, fiddles with it a bit so his finger fits under it and checks. Exactly what he thought. His finger is slowly dissapearing. Atom by atom, piece by piece. Due to the constant disintegration, the finger can't heal, causing blood to spill nonstop. Shit! What now??

Anyways. I think that's long enough... In the end they search for the remains of the crystal that managed to get Donnie put back together so Dee can study it and find out how to stop the disintegration, but by the time he does the damage done on his hand is really bad, thus the robotic prosthetic. Wowie!!!! I will definitely draw this someday

Man.. I feel like I'll make this into more parts cuz this is extremely long already. Most people won't even read this. So yeah, Part 1!!!

DAY 1: FAV TURTLE

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT TMNTEBER NOOOOOO

I PROMISE I WILL CATCH UP EVENTUALLY

Anyways Donnie yes Donnie I love Donnie I am very normal about him he's so awesome my childhood crush fr fr

Donnie and ‘Zack’ Lore!!!

OOTZ TURTLES LOVE LANGUAGE

(Bc it’s important to me)

Leo- acts of service, quality time, and words of affirmation

Donnie- gifts and acts of service

Raph- quality time (& although he’ll never admit it physical touch)

Mikey- basically everything tbh but he a very physically affectionate guy the most :)
