Lou Jitsu, 5 Seconds After Meeting Draxum And The Kids:

Mikey, on the phone with Splinter: Heeeey, dad, are you coming home soon?

Splinter: Uhm… I still have some errands to run. Why?

Mikey: Oh. No reason.

Leo, taking the phone from Mikey: Hi pops, everything’s fine. There’s no fire.

Splinter: Wait, is something on fire?

Leo: No I said there ISN'T a fire

Splinter: Let me talk to Red.

Leo: He’s a little busy.

Raph, in the background: No! don’t fan it, it makes it worse!

Splinter: Oh my god. What did you do to my kitchen?

Leo: Nothing! You go on with your errands. Take your time, maybe take some reference photos!

Splinter: Put Red on the phone!

Leo: Fine!

Raph, out of breath: Hey.

Splinter: What’s going on?!

Raph: Nothing. Everything is fine here. We’re watching TV and the oven sure isn’t on fire.

Splinter: I'm sorry WHAT

Raph: *Donnie's alarms in the background* Wow, that sure isn’t one of Donnie's alarms saying that there's a fire in the lair.

Donnie, in the background: HANG UP!

RotTMNT: Donatello vs. Shredder

Top tier Donnie content. Thank you RotTMNT for always doing my boi justice in combat!

Bonus:

You did well, sweetie! 💜🐢

(...Totally had a heart attack when Shredder started ripping through his Battle Shell...)

can i just say one thing i really really love about Rise that isnt talked about enough is how the turtles never bully each other for their interests. there’s playful teasing or calling out bad behavior (like refusing to drop idols despite being bad people) but it never reaches a mean-spirited point.

they get to cosplay, dance, meet their fave celebs, etc… its all great stuff

shane in every episode:

Huh. These are all interesting facts of the movie, I love these kind of things in movies xD

I didn't know the names of the characters were secretly hidden in many background shots of the city. And there's a bunch of other easter eggs related to the books, I'll have to be more attentive next time I see the movie (I did spot references, but not all of them 😆)

to my beautiful son, i leave this picture of a sweet dragon i found on google images when i typed in cool dragons

me, at 4:00 am, being utterly shocked and flabbergasted seeing Mando without his helmet for the first time despite having known what Pedro Pascal looks like for years:
