After all these years, it finally happened

It happened

I had a dream I was a worm

I was a worm in a relationship with a human man

He still loved me even though I was a worm

The question has been answered

[ninjnerd-anaklusmos]

anybody else in the club feeling this one

WIP Wednesday

Swallowing down his nausea as best as he could manage, Natsu hefted the can, trying to place what he should put away first. The front door banged against the wall, and Natsu yelped, almost dropping the can in his hands. He caught it against his chest, biting back another yelp at the pain it brought, staring at the kitchen doorway in fear. He felt like he had done something wrong, even though he hadn't. He was trying to put the groceries away, so why did he feel like he was in trouble for holding a can of peas? He was innocent, right? It wasn't like he had gone and played with Chacha's car without his permission. He never did that, he only ever got in it when Chacha said they were going shopping, or going for a drive. He didn't touch things that weren't his. He didn't even touch the windows anymore, not after he had left sticky fingerprints on one of them when he was eight and had spent the evening hiding in his room from Chacha's anger. He had learned not to mess with his car, so why didn't he believe him? That damn car was the most precious thing in Chacha's life, of course he didn't mess with it. Natsu trembled at the sound of even footsteps making their way back to the kitchen, clutching the can of peas against his chest. He couldn't move. It was like he was stuck, watching the scene like it was a movie playing out in front of him instead of his life. He was five all over again, watching as the wallpaper his Paapa had painted cracked and curled away from the wall, flames eating at it. Chacha stood in the doorway for a moment, then stepped into the kitchen. He seemed calmer, and Natsu slowly set the can down on the counter, never taking his eyes off of him. "When did you notice the light, Chingari?" He asked, arms crossed.

Hot take, but I think every new iteration of TMNT has something different to offer the fandom. One is not better than the other besides a fan’s personal preferences.

Like the fans of ‘87 turtles are always gushing about the pure comedic gold they had to offer.

2003 turtles gave us a darker, grittier view than had previously been in the cartoons, which is something you would’ve had to read in the comics before that.

2012 turtles combined the mood and tone of the 2003 show’s darker attitude for the villains, while maintaining a balance with the more ridiculous, comedic side of the cartoons.

Personally, I haven’t seen Rise! yet, but it’s on my to-do list, same with Mutant Mayhem.

However, from what I’ve seen on this site and in a few fan fictions, you guys seem to appreciate rottmnt’s commitment to a more modern cartoon style and tone without sacrificing the inherent voice of the characters, along with the role changes they gave to the turtles.

Fans of Mutant Mayhem seem to like the more teenager-y characterization of the turtles, having them be more relatable to the current generation of fans.

Correct me if I’m wrong on these analyses, but my general point still stands: each of these cartoons and every new version of the turtles brings something different to the table we fans feast at. Each new show brings in a new generation of fans, and each new fan brings new ideas into the fandom. That’s why TMNT as a whole had been able to keep going and producing more media for forty years now.

So instead of hating on each new version, as we are so wont to do as staunch supporters of our own personal favorite iteration, maybe we should try to find the thing that makes these new turtles so likable! What can they bring to the table that we haven’t seen before? What makes a whole new generation of fans fall in love with these turtles?

I dunno, I just think the fandom is always way too harsh with new fans and new shows (myself included, I wasn’t too happy when Rise! came out, but I’m over it now). We end up torturing ourselves over something useless, when we could be nurturing this new generation of fans to love all the turtles the same as we do.

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

on a list of dumb shit i know:

the grass in the original shrek movie is not grass. its hair. they used hair textures for the grass bc the actual grass for some reason in their computer modelling programs would not behave like grass so they used hair textures colored green.
