Threw An Empty Plastic Easter Egg At Tim For Him To Play With But He Just... Solemnly Held Onto It, Thinking

Hi just thinking about Splinter who went from a dashing internationally loved superstar to a hideous mutant who has to raise four rowdy boys alone in hiding while struggling with latent trauma from his mom abandoning him, cutting himself off from his family, and getting betrayed by the love of his life. Thinking about how him “letting himself go” wasn’t just written for jokes but from a place of unspoken depression. Thinking about how he never shared any of this with his boys and never projected his trauma onto them but his distance led to them being starved for affection. Thinking about how much they ADORE him even when he’s blatantly neglectful, insinuating that he does pay attention when it matters. And don’t get me started on his movies dubbing his accent over or how separated he became from his own culture, leading to parallels to the Asian immigrant experience.  He’s a flawed parent. He’s an okay sensei. He’s a loving father. He’s a badass family man. ROTTMNT really looked at the boring one dimensional mentor with culturally insensitive stereotypes in past iterations and went nah we can do better. 

And then they made us all cry.

Why do you only chase it... You need training every night!!

just a reminder that asexuality is and will always be inherently queer, and will always be part of lgbtq+

if you disagree then you need to reevaluate your feelings about asexuality and aphobia. pushing ace people out of queer spaces is hurting queer voices
