i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.
i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

hey real quick shout out to anybun who holds grudges or doesn't let things go easily . uu aren't childish , immature or dramatic .
there is no set time limit for how long uu are "allowed" to be upset or hurt about something , and everybun takes different amounts of time to move on or heal from things and it's perfectly normal to maybe even never truly move on .
uur emotions are valid and uu don't need to bottle them up or get angry at uurself for feeling them , all I can recommend is finding things that help uu get them out in a healthy way until they affect uu less and less . which they will , even if it takes a really long time , trust me .
uu are loved and deserve nice things , ok ?

We're only like 1 episode into this conflict are people I think it's too early to assume whether or not Slipper is actually manipulating Ukulele or if she means well but has a less than ideal way of doing certain things. If that makes sense.
People are going to point to episode 12 as proof and while yes it IS true that the Brackets were going to sabotage Team 47. Well Slipper is still consulting Ukulele on how to feel better even with the merge. As said before, we're much too early in this plotline to determine anything.
You can not like Slipper but don't assume things that might not actually be there.
I've had this thought in my drafts for a while. I know Ukuwrap is a widely beloved ship, but Ukulele is just beginning to develop as a character.

oh my god a fellow tmnt girls enjoyer at long last tell me ab ur take on venus and jennika
yesss tmnt girl enjoyers unite
ugh, my Jenny and Vee brainrot is so real I love these girlies and I love my versions of them. ngl half of the genesis of my little sort-of-au was that I wanted them to interact and be Sisters bc we deserve turtle sisters. (since you asked me about my gowrls, I am now obligated to love you forever)
I sort of wound up basing them off more “typical” versions of Raph and Leo (and Jenny’s idw original natch) and building until they became their own thing
Jennika aka Jenny
she’s a Western pond turtle! and she is one bc I saw a picture of one while looking at different turtle species and thought there was a lot of design potential
the oldest turtle and mutated before all the rest. she was Draxum’s very first go at combining turtle and human DNA so she wound up a little “more turtle” than her siblings (i.e. she has claws on her hands and feet, she’s more cold-blooded)
the one and only Big Mama’s assistant and she is. So emotionally repressed, taking on a very “conceal, don’t feel” attitude while under Big Mama’s employment. she’s still just a teenage girl underneath all that, but actually letting herself relax enough to let it out will take time (luckily, she has some Very Teenage siblings to help her out)
she’s the tough, sardonic older sister the turtles never knew they wanted and that Jenny never knew she wanted to be
[spoiler] Mei Pieh aka Venus de Milo
Vee’s a Chinese softshell turtle and the reason I made her one is a whole Thing itself, but I thought Donnie shouldn’t be the only softshell of the six
she was mutated before the boys, but she’s actually the same age as Leo and Donnie (Disaster Triplets hehe). she was Draxum’s “make sure I can replicate my results” turtle
she was raised by…well, that’s a secret for now, but it is someone from Splinter’s past that I saw an opening to do something unique with
she doesn’t have access to Hamato Ninpo, but she is Very Mystic
I’ve had a lot of fun making her Very Different than Jenny, but her and Donnie have also been a fun couple of opposites to explore (namely science vs. magic and their contrasting flavors of autism)
baby girl is autistic and transfem as a nod to my hcs for 2012 Leo, since I took several cues from her for Vee
