Okay, so, I’ve seen other people post about this quite a bit—but it’s always bothered me how, in the season 1 finale, Splinter tells Leo that he has to save the world and that nothing else matters, blah blah blah, including that bit about sacrifice and junk and I just.

Why.

Why would you say that to your Teenage Son—who you know would do anything to protect his brothers? Who had already been shown to have those self-sacrificing tendencies in “Follow the Leader”?

Just makes you think about some things…

And I will never be one to suggest that Splinter is a bad father (because have you seen the way he interacts with his sons??). Like yes, he’s old fashioned and his wording can seem stilted or distant at times, but c’mon people! He makes sure to spend time with each of them individually. He is constantly helping Raph work through his anger issues, gets Donnie to see that his brothers rely on him more than for his intelligence and what he can make, makes Mikey see that being a goofball with a tender heart can be a good thing, and helps Leo see that not every decision needs to be made alone and/or at his own expense.

Yes, Splinter does make it clear to Leo that his brothers’ safety is of the utmost importance when they leave the lair, but at no point in time does he say that Leo is less important than his brothers or that he wants Leo to sacrifice himself!! Leo reads into the messages way too much in the moment (or perhaps doesn’t read into them enough??) and makes decisions that HE thinks are for the best.

#idk #seen too much splinter bashing lately #why does everybody think he’s a terrible father #stop projecting your daddy issues on my blorbos’ father #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #splinter #master splinter #hamato yoshi #fed up #can’t take it anymore #he’s a good father #he’s present #he tries #bad choice of wording though #I will admit #not his best moment #best intentions #I’m sure #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #Leonardo #Leo #Raphael #raph #Michelangelo #Mikey #Donatello #Donnie

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 - Bit 1, Bit 2

Still @flyboytracy​​ ‘s fault. ::hugs you silly again::

Many thanks to @onereyofstarlight​​ for reading and all her knowledge.

I am so sorry. I had meant to post this and more last night. Heh, I meant to write more tonight. But guess who is coming down with the lurgy both my kids have now had? I guess I will have more time since I won’t be able to go to work ::sigh:: And work is so busy at the moment, aaargh.

So tonight I can only post this little bit, breaking Part 3 into three or more bits now. I do have a tiny little bit more written, hopefully a lead in to more writing at some point tomorrow.

::hugs the lots of you:: Thank you for you patience and I hope this makes yesterday’s offering Feel a little bit better. More to come. ::hugs::

He learnt a lot about Tracy Industries in the following weeks.

Some days there were huddles of paparazzi out the front of the building. A possible indication of a Tracy on one of the upper floors. It appeared that Tracy Industries security had every inch of Tracy Industries property marked out by the millimetre and would toss anyone unwanted the moment they attempted to cross the boundary.

Alex wore his ID religiously…in his pocket. There was no way he was going to invite questions from the media by simply being a part of the Tracy Industries family.

Because family it was. From Exec to all the staff, no matter their vocation in all the building.

Hell, he caught the librarian doing a Scott Tracy salute to one of the interns from catering.

It didn’t matter who you were, you were part of it.

When they said together, they meant it.

Work still happened, because this was a place of employment, but yellow bunting suddenly appeared in the tea room and around the entire banister of the mezzanine on level four, and every window on forty and forty-four.

And the stories! Suddenly, everyone had a memory of Gordon Tracy.

Alex, of course, had never met the man. With the general blackout of information on the four younger brothers, their interaction with the media was guarded.

Jeff Tracy had always been secretive and protective of his kids and had stood between them and the media all his life.

Until he was lost.

Then, almost like a phoenix, Scott Tracy, a man who shared so much likeness in both looks and manner with his father, rose from the ashes of that explosion.

That same natural charisma inherited from his father caught the company in its loss and drove it to greater heights than it had ever seen.

Sure, he had spread the burden amongst his brothers, the board, and the executive staff - there was only so much time in the day and so much energy given a man, but it was his leadership, his example that drove the team to reach higher.

There was a strong bond between the company and the Tracy family.

And Aotearoa was the closest in distance to their secret island somewhere in the Pacific.

TI Aotearoa was where the Tracy brothers attended the most.

And Gordon Tracy had left a mark.

All the stories spoke of laughter and professionalism. Apparently, the man managed to excel at both. He had been in the military and, of course, everyone knew about the 2056 Olympics, so out of all the younger brothers, he was the one the public knew the best.

The love and loyalty in the building was phenomenal.

How many of you have bought planners with every intention of getting your shit together, just for them to become scrap paper, or worse, a monitor stand?

Got bored in your bedroom so we went for a drive to the lake where I grew up, it was almost midnight

Stole a boat and rowed out, watched the moon eclipse go by

And the water below us was as deep as the love that kept us floating there, but this boat's sinking slowly now that you're gone

I guess we'll just stop talking then

We can forget this ever happened, 'cause it's obvious I can't just be your friend

I'm going in circles 'cause I only have one paddle out here alone

Got back to shore 'bout 2AM, I grabbed your jacket on the boat dock and I pulled you in and we kissed it was so dark, I found your lips only because I felt your breath

I know that soon I will be fine

You left this void the size of Pine's Lake, now I'm filling it up one cup at a time and if I knew that was the last time I'd see you I might have said, "Hey Mary, that was one crazy summer... I know after this we'll never see each other

I'm old enough now to know nothing lasts forever

The only thing I ask is please:

Remember every detail of this moment, because once you close that door you'll never see me, and some day you might remember when we drove out to the lake and stole a boat to watch the moon eclipse go by and when you think of this I just want you to picture both my eyes looking intently, hear my words as free verse poetry, feel my hands painting your body don't regret you ever met me 'cause I know you couldn't love me, but if I must be a memory won't you frame me in a way that you will smile whne you're picturing my face and then I promise I won't call you like I did when I was drunk in Austin, Texas...

Swear I had the best intentions."

I won't call you like I did when I was drunk in Austin, Texas, and I let out all my demons swear I had the best intentions

A Frozen Allegory - 1001 Cars Long.

Rooted in socio economic division, modern classes are no longer able to see past their own polarized calcified ideologies as we stand seemingly worlds apart while around us unprecedented changes in our environment threaten our once thriving existence. Within a frozen microcosm Graeme Mansion’s multi-seasonal series Snowpiercer seeks to comment the greater consequences of weaponized inequality, privilege-induced ignorance, congestive dissonance and collective trauma. This chilling allegory illustrates the complexity of revolution and challenges the viewer through visceral storytelling to strive for empathy. Stories like this one are vital to remind us that we are not alone, that change is possible and that we stand stronger together against the titans we face. 

The Stage:

Plunged into an ice age by their efforts to cool the planet’s temperature, the earth can no longer sustain life. Billionaire entrepreneur Joseph Wilford seizes this opportunity by creating Noah’s Ark. Snowpiercer - an engineering miracle, 1001 cars long. Wilford’s perpetual engine will circle the globe providing a perfect ecosystem for food, recreation and life … giving him dominion as God. Seeing the tyrannical future ahead, his lead engineer Melanie abandons him track-side and seizes control of the engine unbeknownst to those on board. While in the pandemonium 400 un-ticketed souls fought their way into the cargo hold to escape certain death. 

Like many leaders, while Melanie aims to create a better future for those aboard, but the complexity of her role combined with the temptation to assert control through more authoritarian means leads her to warp many of her principles. As her systems break down, Melanie is forced to examine what comfort had wrought and ask herself if the system can be saved without tearing it down. (Starter, 2023)

I was once standing at a vending machine. It was the kind where you'd hit a letter and number combination, like "B3", and a metal spiral will push out your li'l treat. As I was standing there and deciding what I wanted I noticed that next to all the letter/number labels they printed the appropriate letter/number in braille....Behind the glass.

This has lived in my head rent free for years now.
