And If Tomorrow It’s All Over, At Least We Had It For A Moment.

*likes your post* a great interaction, we are truly bonding

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

I PROMISED I WOULD POST THIS TODAY AND DAMN IF I DIDN'T DRAW THE ENTIRE DAY JUST TO DO SO!

anyways, welcome to the plot side of the Donnieverse (or at least Seer's plot.)

Everyone look at Seer learning how to use his powers for good! I'm so proud of him!

anyways, explanation, in case none of this makes sense.

Seer saw himself meeting this Donnie b/c he was going to meet him. What he didn't know was if this guy was going to have a good life after they left. So he meditated as soon as he got to this Donnie's dimension, hoping that being in said dimension would let him see that Donnie's future.

It did. So Seer immediately went out to find him to help the one way he could.

As for Donnie vs the world, (a joke title i'll probably keep b/c i cannot think of anything better) is basically that a year ago (a few months after the krang incident) Bishop found out about the turtles and kidnapped them from their own home. Now Donnie, newly escaped and only just finding out his brothers are alive, has given himself the task of finding his brothers and making sure everyone responsible for this regrets ever being involved.

It's an old fic i'm currently rewriting a lot of but i couldn't resist putting in here, specifically so Seer could help him like this.

animation being treated like a genre instead of a medium is something that actually makes me go insane. beauty and the beast is a romance. the emperor's new groove is a buddy comedy. big hero 6 is a superhero movie. moana is an adventure film. the lion king is a drama. treasure planet is sci-fi. if i was talking to someone who hadn't seen these movies before, and they weren't specifically interested in animation as a medium, then i wouldn't necessarily assume they'd enjoy all of these. and that's just disney movies! try telling an anime fan that fruits basket and fullmetal alchemist are the same genre and see how they react!

An update from the present day (family web) yokai rumour mill;

The tense air between Big Mama, Baron Draxum and Rat Jitsu is all due to a love triangle or poly relationship gone wrong.

Whatever the case they were all seen attending an art exhibit for promising new young artists. Sources say Michelangelo, one of the artists featured, refered too all three of them as his family.

Lol! I have the distinct feeling Draxum and Splinter would be absolutely horrified by that rumor. (mama would find it hilarious b/c 1, she is well aquanted with the rumor mill and knew this could be an assumption, and 2, he absolutely loves Splinter and Draxum's reactions to it. I could see her feeding the rumor mill even more, simply by "Lamenting" in public about how her adorable Lou had run away with a sheep man 13 years ago and she hadn't heard from him again until recently. much to Draxum's and Splinter's horror.)

Thank you! and i absolutely love Mikey getting his own art exhibit! That's so cute! : )

Do you ever think about Donnie and the Technodrome. Do you ever think about how in order to use it, he had to shed the very thing that had saved him from grievous injury or death time and again, to entrust his body at its most vulnerable to an invasive, completely alien construction. How the Krang’s machinery straddles the line between technological and organic, how Krang Three hardly needed to open his eyes to pilot the Technodrome and try to kill Donnie and Mikey, how deeply the connection between ship and pilot has to run for it to work at all. How the Technodrome reshaped itself to project Donnie’s face, while his body lay comatose in its inner chambers. How suddenly that connection was severed when Krang One discovered them. How Donnie might remember it. How he might still feel the cool, wet matter spreading up and around his soft shell, while his mind interlaces with technology that was not meant for his biology, remembering the sensation in his sleep. How he might miss it. How the whispers of the machine that might as well be alive come to him at night, lauding his abilities, his work with such primitive technology, haunting and yearning for a pilot back. Do you ever think about Donnie and the Technodrome.

ok promise i’ll keep the fandom alive

Ooh my sweet baby Blue

I was worried I’d never see you again

They beat Toguro but at what cost
