Everyone freaking out over the news that the movie wasn’t actually two years after the finale and only two months instead.

Meanwhile I’m over here breathing a sigh of relief that my boy Leo wasn’t acting up like that for a full two years. Something about that just did not sound right—like he never wanted to be leader I get why he’d act like that to try and get Splinter to rescind his decision, but I don’t think he’d be that much of a little shit for that long—like god help Raph.

But everyone freaking over them being so young…April is in college y’all. She had her bday at the start of the show so the time in between the start of the show and the fight with Shredder must be over the course of a couple years. They’re not 13, 14, 16.

At least that’s what makes the most sense to me idk.

Fist bumps for the whole crew!

overworked- short little comic just for character analysis/ expression,

(shortly after events of the movie and everyones tryna recover, well ‘trying’ is a strong word. Leo needs to get better, but i dont think he realizes that you cant force healing, and its alright to feel bad, sometimes forgiveness isnt what you need. Sometimes it just needs to be understanding)

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.
