No but like every time I think about Splinter and what he had to go through just to keep the boys alive, my heart hurts for him so badly. Is he perfect? No not at all, but none of them are and by god does he love his sons.
The fact that all of them are alive, and grew to thrive despite the circumstances surrounding them is a testament of how much Splinter loves his boys. He raised four babies following the most traumatic time of his life, all alone with nothing but the sewers to house them (to hide them.) I feel like he’s not given the credit he deserves for all he’s done.
And I get that it’s easy to hold up his flaws and faults when it comes to parenting, I myself like looking into them because flawed characters are super interesting and said flaws make them more realistic and engaging, but he tries, and again, so many others would have given up on the boys or failed along the way but Splinter didn’t.
He’s their father, for all his faults he did his damndest to make sure they survived.

Hi! I saw your recent reply, and I wanted to encourage you about your point on making comics about Simon's story: yes yes yes please consider doing it, if you find the time and inspiration! I would love to see what you come up with. All the best!
Aaa thank u so much for the encouragement, I appreciate it (*´꒳`*). It’s cool hearing someone likes the idea! I wanna start planning and writing some rough scripts and outlines for it soon, but it’s been hard balancing everything lately ughhhh. It’s one of my favorite parts of the series tho and I have soooooo many ideas for it aaaaaaa (>.< ;).
Silly little doodle of him 4 u :3

I genuinely enjoy how much the ultra deluxe feels like being acquainted with an old friend after a long time. like as someone who never played or got into the original game back when it first came out, the fact that the ultra deluxe still feels like meeting someone again after a long time is so guy wrenchingly sweet and fun. the way the narrator reminisces about the original game and all the good times we’ve had. even if I didn’t know you at all, we can still enjoy things as if there were old times.
