you should totally do a messi x daughter fanfic. One where she is in a relationship with Kylian Mbappe’s brother, Ethan Mbappe.

I love you writing btw. it’s awesome. Keep the good work!

A/N: So about this request--seeing as Ethan Mbappe is underage, I'm uncomfortable writing something for him. I'll do the fic with Kylian Mbappe instead, but I'm sorry, I won't do Ethan seeing as he's 16 and barely even legal in France.

I also combined it with this request: "will u make a fan fiction about Messi x daughter in which the daughter is an actress and they all go to a, premiere or an award show where she is nominated (and she wins), with her. Also an after party part will be good!"

Face claim for most photos: Haley Lu Richardson

Messi x daughter!actress!reader (also Mbappe x reader)

yourusername: "Figures and Strangers" has officially ended production. I would like to thank everyone who I've worked with on this project; you have made every moment of this past year special, and I will remember our time together for the rest of my life.

"Figures and Strangers" is about family, love, and perseverance in the midst of hard times. While I may not have had hard times, the other themes of this movie pertained to my life when I auditioned:

Without my family's unwavering support and direction, I would not be where I am today; seriously, without my father, I wouldn't have been tipped off about Spielberg shooting his first film in Paris, and I would not be typing this today.

A year ago, I had gone on one date with the man I now call my love. Since that day, he has been with me through thick and thin: from nights spent crying over hard-to-memorize lines, to entire weeks when I was hardly home. He saw me through my highs in lows, through enjoying life then doubting every choice I've ever made. Honestly, I believe he's more love and understanding than man. I would have never known the man my father introduced me to would be such a blessing, but I am so glad to call him mine.

And, finally, perseverance: when I heard about this movie, I was still struggling with the notion that all I would ever be was my dad's child. I love my dad with all my heart and all my soul, but seeing myself called "Lionel Messi's daughter" instead of "Y/N Messi" in headlines about my own accomplishments damaged my self-esteem (not to mention all the "nepo baby" comments--yes, I read all of those). Yet, all of this motivated me to work even harder and persevere, as my character in "Figures and Strangers" does. I am glad to say that I am happy with where I stand right now, and I have made myself proud.

Anyways, to wrap this up, I'll quote the ever so wise Winnie the Pooh by saying how lucky I am having something that makes saying goodbye so hard. I am eternally grateful for everything that has happened in the past year because of "Figures and Strangers," and how it has transformed me as a person.

Thank you all again, and I'll see you in the movies.

FINALLY saw Mutant Mayhem, and it was really good!!! I might wanna give it a second watch later along with other Turtle stuff rewatches and do a more in-depth review then, but I'll say the spoiler-free highlights now.

The obvious striking thing is the film visual style, which going in I knew broadly as "like Spider-verse", but that feels like a gross oversimplification for this movie's fantastic look. It's a mix between grungy realism, rough sketchiness (my mom said it looked like one of my drawings, which, yeah I'll take it), and oddly some vague claymation vibes? The turtles especially feel like chunky molded clay in the best way. It's a super cool style that definitely stands out on its own but still feels thoroughly Ninja Turtles despite not quite looking like any one individual prior incarnation. A bit of 2012 with the grungy blockiness, a bit of Rise with the vibrant expressive animation, and a heaping dosage of just general "this would've been the coolest thing ever in the 80's."

Other major high point is just how... exceptionally pleasant the movie is. It's arguably the most light-hearted Turtles incarnation to date, even beating out Rise in terms of friendly vibes... well, barring the bottom-shelf swears and on-screen puke, personally could've gone without the latter but oh well. From the moment we see the turtles we get to see how much this movie appreciates the mundane, with dialogue, visual details, and quick gags that just... I dunno, feel natural? Like, this movie pulls of an astounding amount of reference humor that feels like it'd be irritating if it weren't so believably honest. Yeah, if they were teenage brothers they would say Mikey's head looks like a mix between Hey Arnold and Stewie Griffin. Of course they would. Also the "cringy" music choices rubbed me the right way too, again this movie's tone is so sincere that I can't help but love these too. My mom also specifically cited this as a high point. The "pleasant vibes" praise extends throughout the movie, but I think going fully in-depth on that point would require spoilers. Rest assured, this movie's an exceptionally feel-good watch.

I guess only critique is one I saw coming but because I was dodging spoilers I didn't have the full expectations for. I heard vaguely that there were gonna be a lot of classic mutants showing up for this movie, hence the title I suppose, but I was worried it was gonna be a Spider-Man 3 kind of situation where it'd be constant bad guys that don't leave much individual impact. Which... is both true and not true for this movie. It's not THAT detrimental by any means, but I do still wish the individual characters got to do more. I like what they do get to do, but only a couple actually get to do much, even Bebop and Rocksteady barely have a few lines despite being THE mutant bad guys and having some of the biggest celebrity voices. I think maybe even two or three of them could've been cut and their presence wouldn't have been missed, but I can also appreciate the novelty that these characters probably wouldn't get a big screen debut otherwise. I dunno, maybe I'm just petty these are all classic picks and aren't new characters from my eras of turtles. Fishface for the sequel, come on folks if I believe then you can too.

On that note though, I am hoping that obvious sequel bait goes somewhere, because this movie deserves it. I wanna see this incarnation again, which... I mean I'm pretty sure did well enough to where it's already in the works? If Spider-Verse is gonna be a trilogy (still haven't seen Across yet btw) then this movie certainly deserves at least one followup.

But yeah, great movie! I think I do have to put this as my favorite TMNT movie ever now, so uh... sorry to the original two live action movies and none of the others.

(also I was gonna do a season 1 review of TMNT 2012 but I started it a while ago right as I finished it early in January but then it got overwhelming and I didn't have as much as I wanna say so I don't know what I'm doing with that yet, I might move on to season 2 but idk there's still a lot I wanna say about the show but I still don't know the format. Also expect Things I Love #4 about a completely unrelated show I'm due to finish a rewatch of soon)

Are the turtles the first fandom you've ever been in, or do you have a string of broken hearts from fandoms past, or do you keep each fandom close to your heart, but for the time being the TMNT fandom is what has most of your attention?

Probably the first yes. 2k3 and 2k12 were the first one I was into, mostly 2k12. I remember my family being so annoyed of me talking about ninja turtles. Haha.

I drew a bunch of tmnt when I was little. Unfortunately I don't the sketchbook with me TwT sad.

I think I stop drawing them when I discovered Undertale and got hyperfocused on it for years. Still loving btw the way.

And then came the 2014 and the 2016 movies, I was still into the Undertale Fandom but drew some tmnt again (and again the sketchbook not with meh TwT). I didn't draw on digital yet at the time. It's only around 2018-19 that I started doing it.

And there comes rise, the serie completely blew my mind. I didn't liked it at first, cuz there was so many things different from the tmnts that I knew and I wasn't used to it. The serie was more complex and interesting than I expect it and I LOVE IT!! It made wanna re-watch the old series, and compared them. Not to know which one is the best but more like... look at the difference and why the differences yunno XD.

So yeah at the moment tmnt fandom (especially rise) got most of my attention at the moment. XD

#fee ask #listen #when I told my cousin I was into tmnt #she was like #again????#and I was like #...Oh #she knew #XDD #you could say i had phases XDD

@meepmoopmaap so I tried all three picrews.

This one is Dewdrop, she’s in my first mlp fanfiction (Find Your Spark) and first let me tell you I really tried to find a combo of outfit pieces that all were A) the same or a similar shade of blue and B) combined together to look like her blanket. Alas.

Anyway I’m still figuring out her entire lore but for now it’s what’s in the story. She’s the youngest princess of the neighbouring kingdom to Equestria called Kiang (also jumped through HOOPS to find a horse-related name to call this kingdom) despite being an Earth Pony, because in Kiang you have to earn wings and unicorn horns through acts of service, especially if you want to be an Alicorn, which, you cannot rule a piece of Kiang unless you are an Alicorn because that’s the ultimate symbol of royalty, (a lot like Equestria). Also there’s Earth Pony magic and yes I ripped that straight from the newest generation, fucking bite me.

The other two picrews looked like younger ponies than adult ponies to me so this is Flickerspell, and she’s going to show up in my second Mlp fanfiction (Little Teenage Ninja Ponies, yes it is a TMNT crossover, fucking bite me). She’s basically my OC Ming if she were a pony. She was born an Alicorn. (which, btw, just found out apparently in the regular mlp friendship lore, Doesn’t happen. Like, Flurry Heart was an EXCEPTION, which makes me sad that we never saw her grow up because honestly she probably should’ve been the star of her own MLP generation. Honestly, they should have made one between Friendship is Magic and Make Your Mark focused around the only Alicorn BORN an Alicorn in all of Equestria. I need that show)

Anyway, rant over, I digress, Flickerspell was born an Alicorn and abandoned in the forest of Bridlewoods and then Splinter found her and the turtles’ ponysonas and Splinter raise her. I was going to make them all move to Ponyville and Flickerspell be friends with the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoot-a-loo) and have a whole chapter arc around the episode they got their cutie marks and she wasn’t there and now she’s the only pony her age without one yet. But I’m kind of torn because I also really do want a focus on Flurry Heart because if both of them are the only two ponies BORN Alicorn, they could be special together and we can still have the whole “my best friend(s) got their cutie mark before me/without me, and theirs are awesome and mine is going to be lame if I ever get it at all” arc.

Im not sure. If Flickerspell goes with the Crusaders I may end up writing aNOTHER mlp story about Flurry Heart because I honestly need that.

I don’t know who this is. I wanted it to be Flickerspell because the hair shape matches better than the other one but this picrew didn’t have any streaks options (and she has green streaks in her blue hair) also this one’s hair looks more purple than blue. We could say this is Dewdrop after she gets her wings and horn (because as much as I live for the angst of inferiority complexes, Dew WILL get a happy ending, I need that in my Mlp fanfics) but the picrew looks too much like a young pony and Dewdrop is about Twilight and gang’s age during her story.

Since she’s kind of a mix of the two, I’m going to call her Sea Holly (one of the MANY names I went through when trying to come up with Flickerspell’s). The other two don’t have special abilities yet (Dewdrop’s is a surpriiiiiiise) so Sea Holly’s special ability is going to be that she can control and speak to all the sea creatures and control all the oceans and rivers and bodies of water (she’s an Alicorn, after all) and her cutie mark is a water drop with a sea creature within (a turtle? A dolphin? A fish or a shark? Can’t decide)

IDK maybe Sea Holly can show up in one of the MLP stories one day or be Flickerspell and Flurry Heart’s third friend. Who knows? Not me.

I am however going to save her lore in my notes because I came up with this one the spot and I love it.

[Rottmnt] Seina movie design! [Edit]

Sooo... I saw this sense earlier and decided to edit it with my Rottmnt oc Seina, but her Rottmnt Movie design Uwu

There's no full reference to her movie design yet, but I will someday-

Anyway, here's what her Hamato Ninpō looks like so far right now, and I got a few stories of her movie design. So let's go through them ^^

☆~|The repair friendship bracelet|~☆

In the show of season 2, after Baron Draxum was redeemed, Seina bracelet got cut pretty bad in one of the missions. She didn't know how to fix it, but Mikey did, so he asked her to fix it for her, and of course, Seina agreed. After Mikey fixes the bracelet, he adds something new to it while he was fixing it. To put his and his brothers' colors on Seina friendship bracelet, and he even put Seina color with them, which made Seina a little emotional when she noticed it, but she thanked Mikey anyways for fixing her friendship bracelet.

☆~|The stabbed scar|~☆

In season 2 of the episode "Shreddy or not" in the battle with Shredder, Shredder stabs Seina in the stomach, which the turtles saw it happen... right in front of them. Leo tried to get to her, but the lair was coming down anyway... later in the episode "Anatawa Hitorijanai" after Karai's spirit went into April's body as she left the lair to go to her turtles friends, but April didn't know that Seina was still in the lair because she was covered by rubble. Then Seina was somehow alive but she was slowly dying as she tried to get up, but the pain wouldn't let her, so she grabbed the fallen parts that were on top of her as she pushed it away. Then suddenly... Seina childhood best friend Eito Koizumi came to her as a spirit, Seina was speechless when she saw her childhood best friend who would never have thought to see him again... she wanted to give him a hug, but Eito hugged her instead as they both said of how much they miss each other. Seina told Eito that she couldn't do it anymore and was afraid that she would lose her best friends and the Shredder would win... But Eito told Seina this "Seina... you are not going to lose them. Look, ever since I first met you, you were all shy and scared. But you growed and now look at you! You are an awesome fighting, amazing Mystic powers, brave ninja! You never back down for whoever stands in your way! Because you never give up! And you have your best friends by your side, because you always got there back! And yours too, so why give up now? When they are waiting for you, because... you are their family now, and that's the most important thing." The world "Family" hits Seina hard as the imagines of first meeting the turtles, first meeting April, and so many others as the imagines of her adventures with them went through Seina head. Then... her Hamato Ninpō was awakened. After her Hamato Ninpō was awakened, her clothing changed, and she was all healed up, but unfortunately... it left a scar of where she got stabbed. Then Seina figured that her best friends went to Todd's place, so she decided to get out of the lair and go there. When Seina got there, she saw the turtles have unlocked their Hamato Ninpō too while April was with them. She was so glad to see her best friends or family in her case as she spoke up "Well, looks like I'm not the only one with an upgrade." When Seina said that, the turtles and April turned around, and they were shocked when they saw Seina... alive. Then they quickly give her a big hug after that.

☆~|The deep cheek scar|~☆

In the movie, after the turtles got their Mystic powers back, while they were fighting the Krang 1, the Krang attacked Seina and left a deep cut on her cheek in the battle. Later, after the Krang was sent back to the prison dimension, Seina cut on her cheek got healed up, but since the cut was deep, it left a scar on her cheek. But Leo jokingly said that it looked good on her, which made Seina laugh a bit, in a good way.

Btw, if you're wondering what Eito Koizumi looks like... here he is-

He lives in Japan, almost the same age as Seina. When she was a tot, he was the one who gave Seina the friendship bracelet, he got hit a drunk driver and didn't survive

Anyways! I hope you guys like the edit and story, and I hope you guys are having a great day/night! ^^ 💛🩵💙

Wifi's (and friend) Ultimate Turtle Journey: Mirage Volume 1 skip list.

Have you ever started to get into a really popular media that you know next to nothing about? And the amount of ingrained cultural knowledge and predisposed popular opinions to have about it all left you all discombobulated? Did you then decide the best way to handle that was to go through all the media in as chronological an order as possible?

Well. Hi! I (and my companion in turtledom) did that with every cartoon, movie, anime ova, touring musical production and educational VHS we could find of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But now plumb out of media of the moving picture sort, it was time to get into comics.

This is not a list trying to make you read mirage, nor will it be a "just the good plot stuff" list. Those already exist! This is list for anyone also taking a maximalist approach to enjoying art, and letting the ideas of the people who make it flow over you. I think friction in consumption of art can be really interesting. But I will try and give you context for what that friction might be, and the lines I drew about no longer thinking something was worth my time (I never skipped tho i did occasional skim >_>). SO! Lets get too it!

Mirage 1-11, and the character micros (named after each character, published in order: Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo)

This is the "core text" as it were. Obviously read it. This is probably what you need if you want to get into fights on the internet too. I might recommend a pit stop to read Eastman and Laird Fugitoid, maybe after issue 4. Issue 8 is a crossover issue. You could read the micros however but read no. 9, then Leo, then 10.

#12-18 are, brace yourself. Filler. Oh the terror. I think mostly good! 12-15 all got adapted into 03 episodes. Here's the break down.

#19-21: Return to New York

#12 - A Laird turtle romp, has good character work, action.

#13 - A guest issue, but Michael Dooney's best imho, makes sense chronologically and in tone. Women's depiction in comics Advisory warning.

#14 - An Eastman turtle romp, cute Casey and April stuff, a favourite of mine.

#15 - Laird again, and adventure again. good art.

#16 - A guest issue, Mark Martin, also his strongest imho. Not very chronologically based (a time travel plot in fact) but I'd recommend this even to people who don't read mirage.

#17 - Eric Talbot, kinda of a guest issue, within its own text, non canonical, but cute. Mikey focused.

#18 - Guest issue, Mark Bodé. The plot is. Anti MSG messaging? Turtles go to China. Really truly, you can skip this.

Yes again, obviously you should read these. I like them so much. Brothers! Feelings! Murder! Its the works.

Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1-7

Probably not were they go by publication date, but for simplicity... Lighter, easy read comics, all of them were adapted into 03 btw. I say read em, I saved them up for when mainline got too vexing. But probably at least read 4 [I, monster] and 6 [Leatherhead].

#22-48. Yes, most of em. Are "the guest era". But painting this large a chunk with the same skip or dont skip brush is beyond the pale. Some of the best and worst of Mirage is in here. Lets break it down.

#22-23. Sequels to #16. Not as strong, much weirder. But if you wanted more. You've got it. Has one gag I really like, and one I really don't.

#24-26. Rich Veitch's river saga. THE frictional art of frictional art. Emotional arc for the turtles, political and spiritual messaging. Advisory Warning for depiction of an Indigenous (Of an Algonquian tribe, probably Abenaki?) character and themes of colonialism, lots of offensive language used tho also, pro land back? Mysticism abound. If you read it, lets talk!

#27 Michael Dooney, a revisit of characters from Tales of TMNT, Radical and Carnage. Now in a... spiritual battle involved in (I believe, Lakota) religion. Stuff to chew on maybe, less offensive langauge but also maybe less to say. Dooney's treatment of women hints to a pattern.

#28 Written by Stephen Murphy and with art by Jim Lawson, makes this technically canonical, and regardless. Introspective and emotional. SO FUCKING GOOD. Also an 03 episode.

#29. AC Farley, read it for the art alone. Wild plot, fun romp.

#30. Rich Veitch again, cars! the grotesque! Highway culture. Very strange, pretty fun.

#31. Mike Zuilli and Stephen Murphy. This is truly, an AU. Continued in #35-36 (Sans Murphy). Maybe interesting to check out? Weird ass hell, maybe not in a good way? The strangest Splinter and Shredder. Mysticism, ofc. 36 Does end interestingly at least.

#32 Mark Bodé again, April and a female friend in Egypt. Cursed mummies, bad outfits. Truly skipable. (Also side bar: If someone told you this is the Only issue were April is drawn as Black or ambiguous. I Disagree. Lot of artists drew her in a lot of ways)

#33. Richard Corben. Silly turtles time travel. Cute, though the art might have given me motion sickness???

#34. Rich Hedden & Tom McWeeney. This is a Parody of the TMNT. Also not very funny. Also depicts a man having delusions and the shooting himself. (As comedy. of course. and its still not funny). Extremely skippable, though despite myself, the shots were said man sees the world populated with turtle mutants are kinda nice.

#35-36. See 31.

Phew. Done. #50-62 is the City At War arc, and finale of Mirage vol. 1. Read it! And good luck skipping any of it, it's like. 5 parallel story lines across 13 issues.

#37 Rick McCollum and Bill Anderson. I. ADORE. This issue. On the record have been singing its praises. Extremely characterful of the turtles, a reptile specific spiritual journey. Sequel to a mini "Donatello: The Ring", from Turtle Soup #2.

#38-40. Hedden and McWeeney again, this time, hornier. Still not funny. SKIPPPPPP.

#41. Matt Howarth. A look into the turtles, and Splinters, dreams. Just a cute little comic.

#42. McCollum and Anderson. Pretty good, an immortal witch summons ghosts of famous people to do her bidding (kidnap the turtles!). Mild advisory for women's depictions in comics, at least their drawn cooler... I like their Renet actually.

#43. Paul Jenkins and A.C. Farley. More of that good art! Donnie in his FEELINGS. Wild premise.

#44. Rick Arthur. Sequel to "The Name is Lucindra" Turtle soup vol 2. Raph gets a female sparring partner. There's maybe some feelings involved? its fine.

#45. Dan Berger. The return of Leatherhead! Probably canonical? I like it!

#46-47. Michael Dooney. A plot thread from #9 gets picked up. The turtles time travel to feudal Japan to stop a bad guy. Doesn't get more classic that that. Dooney's depiction of women goes turbo nuclear with this tho. Renet is less garbed than very and being man handled A lot.

#48-49 You have reached normal continuity by mirage regulars again. Casey Jones has a moral quandary of vigilantism. Return of Nobody from Tales of the TMNT. The turtles say some based shit about cops.

And that's pretty much it! I'm not skip listing all the side content cause i haven't read it yet and also. If your the kinda sicko who wants to read Mirage's Gobbledygook, Grunts, Turtle Soup or Plastron Cafe... What would you need a skip list for?

Wow! Now that's really it! You did it! Catch me next time when I finally know what the fuck happened with the rest of Mirage's publishing! Or what the hell is up with image comics? Or maybe those darn adventure comics from Archie.

#some shit #turbles...#wifi blogs mirage #tmnt #tmnt mirage #btw i really cannot offer any kind of comprehensive content warning type thing for this like some ppl have for shows.#my brain cant contain that all!!! but if you wanna chat about that topic. hit me up! i do think its important.#im not in any way an expert. i cant and wont make definitive calls but yeah! tells talk about it.

NOW FOR THE OTHER TAG. "why are they in space" lmao lemme tell u why

OKAY SO! end of season 3 right, all is well, then some alien dinosaur shows up (he's a tricerton. im not spelling it right but idc) and he beats up the mutanimals (ninja turtles friends) and so raph goes after him, tames him ig??? and then dino dude is all "there are KRAANG ON YOUR PLANET" and the turtles are like "lol we got rid of them like 15 episodes ago keep up" but decide the humor dino man anyways EVEN THOUGH HE BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA THEIR FRIENDS??? LIKE OKAY UH SURE ANYWAYS WE'RE GONNA GLOSS OVER THAT- hey btw where did u say the kraang were again??? not that we're worried but yk just in case.....okay yeah can u take us there okay yeah cool thanks

so dino man takes them to where the kraang are hiding out (i think t was the technodrome?? idk its been like a week since i finished s3 but im pretty sure they were in the technodrome. ANYWAYS) dino man takes them there, they beat up some kraang, if u listen closely you'll hear me yelling over leo's fighting style. i just think he's neat, and then they find out that the kraang are doing smth or another at the statue of liberty, so THEN dino dude is like "WE GOTTA DESTROY THE BEACON." so the turtles are like ok CHILL we're doing that rn, cue more fighting with the kraang (WHO ARE ALL TERRIFIED BY DINO DUDE BTW. BC HIS SPECIES IS LIKE THE SWORN ENEMY OF THE KRAANG. THEY ARE NOT BESTIES)

then plot twist, after the kraang retreat, the dino dude is like "i also have to destroy your planet now bc u humans suck ass and also there are kraang everywhere lol there's nothing u can do to stop this" and the turtles (raph specifically, THAT WAS HIS DINO PAL MAN) are like hey wait lets talk this over we JUST saved this fucking planet wdym you're gonna blow us up and then dino dude is like oh im not blowing u up we're just gonna activate a black hole and get rid of this whole galaxy.

the turtles do not like this

so raph is EPIC and destroys the beacon (but not before it signals the rest of the dino army but they don't know that until the next episode rip) oh and also dino dude falls off the statue of liberty and dies

next ep!! the kraang have reassembled and are loading up the technodrome, the turtles gear up to take them down again, then the rest of the dino dude army shows up, shit goes south real quick, mikey gets captured and the others almost get vaporized and leo gets to fly a spaceship again, they rescue mikey piss of the dino general dude meet this AWESOME KRAANG GUY WHO I LOVE his name is agent bishop and i love him, and then they gather all their friends for an epic season finale boss fight to stop the dino dudes from black hole-ing the planet (they get shredder involved too. it's awful. i hate him)

so they're all fighting and stuff, trying to stop the dino army for setting up the black hole thing, AND THEY ALMOST WIN. BUT LIKE I SAID. THEY ENLISTED THE FUCKING SHREDDER. AKA "I HAVE NEVER LET ANYTHING GO EVER. I STUBBED MY TOE ONCE AND NOW I HAVE A PERSONAL BEEF WITH FUNITURE." so shredder does what shredder does best and LITERALLY stabs splinter in the back while he was going to shut off the black hole portal thing. like the bitch he is. and the turtles are like "WHAT THE FUCK." and then the portal is activated and the earth is sucked into a black hole and the turtles are just SITTING THERE holding their dead dad as the world is ending but at the last second a SHIP shows up and this robot (FUGITOID. I LOVE HIM. i know he does something in this season that pisses the turtles off but i forgot what it is) shows up and is like "COME IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE"

and so they do and fugitoid zooms them away to the relative safety of space and does some time rewind thing that sets them 6 months in the past so that they can now find the black hole portal parts which are scattered across the galaxies before the dino army does and stop them from destroying the earth again and THAT. THAT MY LOVE. is why they are in space.

no. everyone needs to read this. what the fuck

I watched the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and oh boy, short story long, watch it. I watched the movie first by mistake, and I think that was the greatest decision I've ever made. So watch the movie, at least.

It's very newcomers friendly. It's basically a simple story, without needing to have any idea of who is who or what is that, with amazing visuals and just out-of-the-world action scenes. And I hate action scenes. Really. I hate it because usually it's just two people fight, one win, end. Doesn't really tell much more. But each fight you get to watch the character of the animation, because this animation has a life on its own I swear. It doesn't drag uselessly, you get introduced to powers, you get introduced to how a character fights, how well they cooperate or not and you can't just skip it until you see someone on the ground. There's something to catch in the action scenes.

And it even has the time to be funny, almost effortlessly in between scenes.

The guy comes from the future, says terrible news, and this is one of the shots from the film. It comes naturally, isn't forced. The character expressions and attitudes are just, magnificent and they use their 2D animation medium at its best!

This pose just isn't human. It would never happen. But it's just, so funny to watch! She's trying to reach for his badge on his chair while he doesn't look. There's a billion way to tell this tiny fact, and they choose to make her reach like that. The animation is funky all the way through and you never get bored! You know how humans usually do things, so they don't do it normally, it's 2D animation, not human simulation!

I just like this shot. Also don't get me started on character designs. Each Turtle is unique, and part of the reason I never tried to care for the Ninja Turtles before was that, yeah, there's 4 different colored Turtles that otherwise look exactly the same. I'm not doing a Five parts analysis on why Iove their designs so much, but the use of shapes is impeccable.

And their use of different body parts in perspective. Be it hands, legs it's magnificient.

And that's just a treat.

You then finish the movie, which I didn't say much about but has great story points and very great character development btw, you're left standing: "Waw. That was amazing. I wish there was a more light-hearted series now, just so I can enjoy the family dynamic and the goofy animation."

And you learn there's two seasons. As a treat.

Watch this show, even if you have no prior knowledge of the Ninja Turtles. I didn't. I loved it. I'd say you'll enjoy it more if you know nothing about prior shows. Because it apparentaly changes a lot of the usual formula, and nostalgic people will spit in the face of anything that changes. I know that. I like Pokemon.

(Also. They could have brought the guy back in time like, 3 days before the actual event, you know, so that he actually finds the people and objects he needs to protect in time. But eh.)

Thoughts on the ROTTMNT movie:

oh wow i relate to the autistic coded genius techie what a surprise

oh wow i relate to the protective parent friend of the group what a surprise

No but seriously Donnie’s humor is on point

“Data collection makes me feel better” MOOD???

“‘I feel better already,’ he said without a hint of sarcasm” NO BUT THIS IS MY HUMOR

The Leo vs Raph final fight was the best “i know you’re in there” speech i’ve ever seen. Hands down

Because it wasn’t about “i know the real you is still in there!!1!1!1” it was about him apologizing and that he finally understood what made him tick

We stan April O’Neil btw

Splinter’s humor is also on point, that line about being a psycho with no character development? PEAK.

Out of order, but Casey’s bit about how the Leo from the past/present was a disappointment was the absolute kick in the nuts his character needed. 10/10 well done

I really like watching the mystic powers (its just magic) and how it was animated!! Like seriously, the portals and the hulk form and everything

there was ONE poop joke and that FAR exceeded my expectations

Narrative weight??? In a NINJA TURTLES movie???? I never woulda guessed

wait a fuckin minute the portal power turtle’s in outer space, he can come back from this HE FUCKING BETTER

me???? attached to a NINJA TURTLES MOVIE???? i never woulda guessed

FUCK YEAH HE LIVES

“Eww are we in Staten Island” WHAT IS THEIR BEEF WITH STATEN ISLAND I NEED TO KNOW

guess im watching the show now

I’m like a bajillion years late to the party, but y’all go watch the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie it’s hilarious

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of the Foot Clan: Part 1

Read Date: April 12, 2023 Cover Date: January 2013 ● Writer: Mateus Santolouco ◦ Erik Burnham ● Art: Mateus Santolouco ● Colors: Joao Vieira ● Letterer: Shawn Lee ● Editor: Bobby Curnow ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● the art is beautiful ● damn, did his leg just get chopped off? ● (btw, if you’re a TMNT fan at all, read the IDW stuff. it’s some of the best comic stuff I have ever read.) ● o_o foot… ● the boys attending a lecture. I feel Mikey’s “Dude!” it has been my reaction through so many of these IDW issues

● god the art and story! 8_8 ● my first time seeing Kitsune in this form ● Kitsune is terrifying ● Dude, I wasn’t expecting that!

● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: The story is split between present day New York City and flashbacks to Feudal Japan during the Muromachi period. April, Casey and the turtles (hiding in the rafters high above) attend a lecture by a Dr. Miller, an expert on the history of the Foot Clan. He details the history of the Yuu Clan, ruled by Daimyo Ashikaga Yuu, a candidate to become Shogun of all Japan. There was a member of the Yuu Clan, Takeshi Tatsuo, who was the greatest and most feared swordsman who had ever lived. His skill was so great, that even Daimyo Ashikaga feared him, and so he sent Tatsuo into the mountains to patrol for bandits, where a legion of the Daimyo's men were waiting to ambush and kill him. Tatsuo's skill was great, but the men were too great in number. Although he managed to slay every last one of his attackers, he was mortally wounded, his right leg completely severed. As Tatsuo lay there dying, however, a mysterious stranger brought him to a hidden temple in the mountains, where he was given powerful medicine. The medicine was so powerful that when Tatsuo awoke, his leg was completely regrown, only missing the skin. Everyone assumed Tatsuo slain, but Daimyo Ashikaga feared the worst when Tatsuo's body was not found amongst the remains of the men sent to kill him. Eventually, Ashikaga was found slain in his own bed.

Dr. Miller explains that he learned all this from the Ashi No Himitsu - a book detailing the secret history of the Foot Clan, which he found in the very temple Takeshi Tatsuo was restored. The book provided information on how the Foot Clan influenced the politics of its day, recipes for medicinal salves, and even tales of the black magic used by the clan. Dr. Miller discovered that the book was authored by Takeshi Tatsuo, years after his supposed death. Dr. Miller deduced that Tatsuo had formed the Foot Clan from the remnants of the Yuu Clan after killing Daimyo Ashikaga. Furthermore, he learned that the source of the Foot Clan's power was its alliance with a witch, Kitsune, who served the powerful Tetsu Oni, the Iron Demon. The clan became extremely ruthless, carrying out atrocities in the name of the Oni, including burning villages to the ground and slaughtering women and children. Many members of the clan, led by Oroku Maji and Masato, disagreed with the path the clan was taking and were becoming fed up with its brutal tactics. One night as the clan was carrying out the Iron Demon's orders, Maji and Masato had their suspicions confirmed, seeing the witch Kitsune using magic. They formulated a plan to take down Takeshi Tatsuo and restore their clan's honor. Once a month during the full moon, Takeshi Tatsuo isolated himself in his quarters while Kitsune left with an empty satchel, returning two days later with it full. Maji spies on Tatsuo during the next full moon, witnessing Kitsune give Tatsuo, now an old man, the elixir she received from the Iron Demon, restoring his youth. The next month, Maji staged a surprise attack, interrupting Tatsuo before he could ingest the magic elixir. A battle ensues, and Oroku Maji slays Takeshi Tatsuo. Kitsune warns Maji, claiming he does not know the consequences of what he has done. She curses him, stating that his downfall will come from his own house. The honor of the Foot Clan had been restored.

In the present day, April, Casey and turtles decide to ask Dr. Miller for further information on the Foot Clan, after consulting with Master Splinter. As Dr. Miller leaves the lecture, Oroku Karai, posing as a private collector's assistant, approaches him about getting his appraisal on another part of the Ashi No Himitsu. Karai reports back to the Shredder that she spoke with Dr. Miller as instructed. She asks why they are allowing Dr. Miller to live, when all the information he has on the Foot could harm them. Shredder says that his plan is to force Dr. Miller to find more information on the Foot Clan for him.

In Feudal Japan, Kitsune approaches the shrine of the Iron Demon, beseeching him to aid her. She states that she cannot provide him with what he requires at that time, but she would repay him in the future. The Iron Demon steps forth, revealing himself to be an Utrom.

Originally a Land of the Fallen Fairies blog, with the occasional rottmnt. This has evloved into 'rottmnt superfan makes an AU and 100+ posts with three followers (one of them being my sibling) and goes insane. /pos.

(the old stuff is still here btw)

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AU.

Is this show the best thing to ever exist? Yes. Did the fandom make it even better? Also yes.

Can I try combining the two? Here's hoping.

This AU consist of - the older sisters, Mikey getting more 'episodes', Donnie getting validation + being besties with Baron Draxum and so on and so forth.

If the links don't work, try this post

Concept post

Backstory ramblings

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Show Notes.

As a rottmnt superfan, I think it's very shameful I have not actually watched the full series. I have been trying to get myself to watch all of it for literal months, and I will finally start now.

To keep my motivation to actually watch my favorite show (wow) I will be writing down little things I like/notice/one sentence summary of each episode.

Plus I want to do the AU with the events of the show but a "little to the left" including the missing sisters, Mikey getting his deleted episodes back, ideas that couldn't be used because the show was cancelled, fandom ideas, etc. etc.

AND this is also doubling as info from each episode, so that way I don't forget anything important.

(Like I forgot Heuso existed. Who does that?)

Mystic Mayhem

Mystic Mayhem Donnie notes.

The Land of the Fallen Fairies.

A story about some non-humans with no human contact and is as far from reality as possible.

A story told in captions and multimedia that is meant to be my comfort story. It's about a unreliable narrator that is so in faer head that the actual plot happens in the background. Literal civilizations are dying and faer guardian may be destined to kill faer, but Anuli has something more to think about. Fae can't stay happy or go for too long without making a mistake that ends up hurting everyone else, so fae uses faer hyper fixation to fix faer overthinking and general incompetence. After all, if Anuli isn't the antagonist anymore, fae will get a happy ending, right? That's the hope anyways, that one day fae will be someone that will put the other's care to good use instead of wasting it.

General tag

Anuli's thots

Blurb

fiddle leaf figs

"I have a tree?"

Meet Anuli, your resident tree-less dryad. (The others are baffled, how can a tree fairy not have a tree?) Fae is story obsessed, and constantly overthinking, to the point where reality is just something fae has to deal with from time to time... and it's getting really unpleasant actually. Why does everything Anuli tries either fall apart or go well but... not really be the thing that gets fixes what fae messed up. If only fae could live in a constant daydream-

oh. Bad idea.

milanote - where most of the info is

The Mundane Magic series

Based off a tumblr post, here's a story about having control about what your mundane magic.

Part one - the concept

Part two - character prose

I feel weirdly proud of this whole bit

Mikey crossed his arms. "That better be chocolate or coffee flavor."

Don smirked. "Remember when Raph got angry after Vern brought french vanilla by accident?"

Mikey laughed. "Oooh, mocha flavor. Does this mean you're making us coffee?"

"One ADHD medication coming up. In a few minutes. My kingdom for an actual alpha-2 adrenergic agonist."

Donnie perched on the end of the long wide table, watching both Mikeys carefully.

Michelangelo grabbed the straw happily and, once he had the straw, gladly drank the Gatorade without argument.

"Excellent, thank you." Donnie's goggles came down and he took out his tablet to type things. "Your brothers will be pleased to know that you are improving. Whatever Mikey did is having a cumulative effect."

“Thats good.” Michelangelo scrambled back into the warmth of Donatello’s shell armor. “Sorry I said I would bite you.”

"We're turtles," Mikey shrugged.

“Yeah.” Michelangelo shrugged, “I guess. But it’s still mean. I wouldn’t have actually bitten you. April might if you get on her nerves though.”

"Good to know," Donnie said. "Our April is fierce enough to punch people in the face. Years of field journalism and taking no shit."

“My April had a mystic bat! She beats up Yokai with it.”

"Ooooh," and Mikey leaned forward. "Everything about your world is the best thing ever."

“I agree!” Michelangelo chirped, “you guys should totally meet Hueso when you visit! He’s a skeleton!”

“A skeleton?”

“Yes! He’s like one of those sugar skull things from Mexico, except a full Skeleton. He’s a former pirate and hates Leo with a burning passion. But he does give the rest of us discount pizza.”

"Does he...eat pizza?" Don queried.

“He doesn’t like pizza, but he eats a lot of tacos.” Michelangelo shrugged, “he still had muscles and organs and all that stuff, it’s just all invisible except for his bones. Leo once poured flour over his head to see what he looked like. He’s terrifyingly buff, btw.”

"...huh," they both said.

"Also, my unflinching sense of science doesn't know how to feel about that," said Donnie.

“Yeah, it was a horrifying revelation.” Michelangelo nodded, “but he’s a decent guy.”

Mikey let his head fall to the side, mouth open, and smacked Don's bicep with the back of his hand. "Dude. We really gotta get out more."

Don blinked at him. "Did you eat another gummy?"

"T'was yummy."
