Family outings are fun, especially with little kids
Just realized that before Ray escaped, he had no idea how demons killed the cattle children. like for all he knew he was watching as his siblings were shipped off to a brutal, gorey death. Imagine how much scarier his nightmares must have been, not knowing whether his siblings were being killed cruelly or not. The mind can be the scariest thing and no doubt he was imagining the most gruesome deaths and details. At least Emma and Norman had seen Conny and had an idea of how she was killed. But there was no way Ray was going to ask "was Conny's body like all torn up and mutilated or was she pretty much unharmed?"
When Norman was being shipped away, he still didn't know the details of what was happening to him. Not only was he losing his best friend, but he also didn't know if he was in for a painful and sadistic death or a quick one. He could’ve been picturing the worst and probably was. and when he escaped, at first his exposure to the demons was limited to the wild demons and the demons from Goldy Pond, both were trying to kill humans ruthlessly. it might’ve been a while before he learnt that the flower thing is kinda painless, it’s so sad to me
Based on my headcanon on how the turtles would react to stress because IM A FUCKING SUCKER FOR THIS KINDA COMFORT COMICS OKAY!!! SUE ME!!!
To recap the stress response headcanon briefly:
Donnie stress stims (scratching his arm, they give him fidget toys so he doesnt hurt himself)
Mikey hides in his shell, away from harm. You know, turtle istincts and all haha
Leo gets nausea and gags a lot (any strong emotion does that really)
Raph has a delayed panic/anxiety spike later on, because he wants to always make sure his brothers are safe first. THEN he'll crumble
based on chapter 109! wooo
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
thought abt that actor au a little more. i just think theyre neat
some fun facts below the cut

In the series where each turtle look so distinct from each other, it’s weird that Splinter calls them by colors. Even more so, Leo is a red slider. He has those prominent red markings on his face.
So why is he blue?
Rats, aside from being near sighted, are red-green colorblind. Specifically, red-weak/protanomoly color blind.
Donnie has purple markings, Mikey had orange markings. And Leo?
Well he looks blue to mutant rat man. 🥺
(Raph is probably “Red” because that’s the Hamato color)
