Spark 2 a Flame is updated!

2012 Splinter seems like the kind of dad to just mess with his kids

Like how some dads will look at their kids and think, "What if I just fucked with these guys, just a little bit"

But he's Splinter so he wouldn't be too obvious or mean about it. He kind of already does this in the show, though I think he frames them as lessons because maybe he's not entirely sure how to turn off 'Teacher Mode' and just be 'dad'

Like when he hooks his finger under Raph's jaw when he gets too cocky, or when he straight up just licked Raph's head to throw him off during training.

Or when Donnie wanted to upgrade his weapon from a six foot staff and Splinter was like,

"Hmm, a SEVEN foot staff."

"No, I mean like with technology."

"Ah, a solar powered staff."

"I'm being serious."

"I know :) "

Do y'all think he ever played with the boys when they were young?

Something tells me that they used to run circles around him and try to climb on him and either to take them off or catch them when they fell, he'd use his tail as like a third arm

I think carrying the boys (toddlers) to bed, he'd carry Donnie and Raph in each arm, Mikey with his tail because he could sleep through being draped or dangled, and Leo would walk next to him holding onto his kimono

Also a random thought that's not related to the post, but what if there was a human au where Splinter raised the human boys alongside his wife, and they and Karai (Miwa) grew up together in Japan, or moved from Japan to New York

I give you Disaster Triplets/Cool Color Trio.

Since kai's name has to do with both fire (Scottish I believe) and water (hawaiian) I do wonder if Ray and Maya were like "hey it's a 50/50 shot which element he gets" and then when he was very clearly fire they chose like a very distinctly water name for their second kid

Baxter’s Gambit is out!

And then once reading the fanfiction is finished I open my notes app and start writing-

Usually it’s video games instead of music but this is pretty much accurate hehe
