So I May Just Be A Nerd, But Schools Starting Again, And I Keep Having To Make These Things That Describe

So I may just be a nerd, but school’s starting again, and I keep having to make these “things that describe me!” Papers and drawings but I can’t draw the turtles that well yet and I doubt these teachers want to hear me go on and on about this show.

So instead I went for the most subtle reference while still being the most out there reference that I could think of. Know the series well, you got it! Don’t know it? It’s not in your face.

Also drawn with crayon because it is my favorite thing to draw with.

It's hard being a ghost. It's hard and no one understands.

(I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good by @dandylovesturtles really has no mercy for Leo, he can't even chill on his own bed after having his soul ripped out of his body, this is the worst thing that happened to him, ever 😔)

another really fantastic detail from the s2 finale regarding Leo's powers... I've always loved the hell out of what they did cinematically with it, it looks and feels incredible and kicks total ass. initially I was under the impression that he was replacing his portals with his swords; that he was "traveling through" them per-say. but here --

...we can actually see Leo materializing SEPARATELY from his sword! you can see in the following frame he actually dissipates again and his sword continues flying along the same path untouched, inertia unaffected.

...and then he materializes again to properly align with it and catch it!

he's entirely not in contact with it but is implied to have already crossed spacetime. which means Leo can just... Do That. he's rapidly bending space to transmit his goddamn subatomic particles to a new location. the purpose of the swords isn't to do the portaling; it's to work as a landing pad. it's a vector point by which he re-solidifies the mass he's transporting. a familiar homing beacon he can align himself with on the fly.

rise villains are like

gordon ramsey cannibal

wrestler who makes it his life mission to destroy anything they love (unrelated to them being ninja turtles, simply a hater of teens)

a (failed) child influencer

couple of gays in showbiz (not musical theatre, diversity win)

scifi actor whos gone crazy and thinks aliens are real (hes right, but for the wrong reasons)

an evil dentist (average dentist)

their estranged dad and their step mom (unrelated to each other)

freddy fazbear

Winners!

Congratulations to Leonardo & the damn window he always gets thrown through for winning the teamup tournament!

Not only this but he’s also CONSTANTLY being discredited and ignored because his ideas are “not good” or too out of pocket.

When he has an idea on how to defeat the shredder in Many Unhappy Returns? Good ideas first Mikey. And he’s just dismissed.

He spends a lot of the episodes being babied and not being trusted by his brothers. For example, in Flushed, But Never Forgotten, Mikey spends half the episode trying to convince his brothers that Piebald is back, but they don’t believe him, repeatedly saying that it’s in his head. Sure, he has a hyperactive imagination, but spending your whole life not being trusted hurts.

Litteraly screaming why is no one talking about Mikeys trauma!?? Sure Raph has big sister syndrome, Leo has an inferiority complex, Donnie feels unwanted and invalidated but who's the one legit giving them therapy sessions over these kind of stuff!? Don't get me wrong what the other turtles are feeling are valid but Mikeys truama is just as valid as any of the other bros trauma!

He was backstabbed by his idol, has an overprotective bro (Raph, but I'm not saying he's a bad brother let me get that straight with y'all he's amazing!), LEGIT BROUGHT THEIR FAMILY TOGETHER BY HELPING DRAXUM OUT! FUCK, HE NEARLY GOT CRUSHED WITH DONNIE IN THE MOVIE AND NONE OF Y'ALL TALK ABOUT IT!? HE DESERVES LOVE TOO!!
