I’m at 3
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.
theres something about when people draw sonic characters without their gloves and shoes and you can see their paws that makes me remember they are just animals. like omg ur a little animal dude ?? a little creacher ?? 🥺🥺 i can hold you in my arms and pet your little head and you will wag your tail ?? ur just a little fella ??? 🥺🥺

My friend’s little brother (non-verbal) used to hide people’s shoes if he liked the person, because it meant they had to stay longer. The more difficult it was to find your shoes, the more he liked you.
One day my cousin came over, and she was a bitch. When it was time to leave, my friend’s brother handed her shoes directly to her and she went on and on about how he must have a crush on her because he only “helped” her.
ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on
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
