So my friend (who's a big nerd) walked in on me fangirling about TMNT and commented on how he didn't really like the series because the character development sucked. Of course I argued back but none of what I was saying was making any sense to him, so finally I attempted to put my insight into a perspective that he would understand.
As I see it the family of turtles (and their rat dad/sensei) are similar to aspects of the earth. Imagine that earth itself is New York City and the sun is the Foot Clan, each member of the family is an unseen force connecting to the earth.
Leo is the magnetic field surrounding the planet and keeping everything in place. He could also be gravity because he keeps the team grounded and in place even when they try to break and or test the boundaries. His family expects him to always do his job and they rely on him to lead them, but sometimes he finally starts to feel the strain of keeping everyone together and considers giving up. However he continues his efforts because that's what he's supposed to do, so he puts his problems aside and does what he needs to do for his family.
Raph is solar flares sent from the sun because some people who aren't familiar with the film think he's going to turn and go rogue (which he kinda does in 2007), but also because his opinion is contradictory to the other family member's. He also clashes with Leo (the magnetic field) who keeps him from causing destruction, and although his take on things are normally considered dangerous or extreme, after passing through his brother's rage his words come out as something beautiful that people treasure if they take the time to appreciate it (in other words it becomes the Aurora Borealis). Plus he tends to remind the team that there's a whole other point of view of which to view things from, constantly giving the team a reality check.
Donnie is the atmosphere, giving people the air they need to breathe easy and also evolving the species according to the environment. He may not always be viewed as a very important piece of the team but he is an essential aspect of their success. His inventions make it possible to get things done and are why they didn't die jumping off a plane. He is prepared for anything and never hesitates to do what he needs to do to help his family.
Mikey is the weather, giving everyone what they need to keep moving. When the team is in a heated argument he's the clouds attempting to cool the mood, when they feel like giving up and quitting he's the e rain giving them the small push to keep moving on and growing. People see him as annoying and assume he's just getting in the way when in reality his 'unnecessary humor' is just him trying to lighten the mood and cheer everyone up as well as cheering them on.
Then Splinter is the core of the earth, keeping the planet, and it's elements, under his good influence and keeping everything running smoothly.
All in all I think I did a pretty good job, although my friend is now concerned with how much time I'm spending on anything related to the fandom. š
*Leo telling at him*
"STOP THROWING THINGS! PUT MIKEY DOWN! I SWEAR TO GOD PICASSO!!"
*Splinter talking to him*
"Picasso my son, you must control your temper."
*When the boys find something broken*
"NO PICASSO!!" "CAN PICASSO NOT SMASH FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?!"
Do you have any Raph headcanons? I don't really know what to specify, just anything would be super cool! (I love your writing and reading through your blog, keep up the good work!!!)
((Thanks so much, this is the best I can do right now.))
-Raphael sleeps with one leg hanging off the bed. For body temperature regulation purposes. Maybe an arm will be included.
-He has an old stash of **magazines** under his mattress. Amazing what people throw away.
-His favorite food (besides pizza) is Enchiladas. I feel like heād have a taste for spicy thingsā¦Mexican food in general??
-He sometimes thinks about how the rest of his brothersā names ends with an āoā and his doesnāt. It makes him feel like he stands out, but not entirely in the weird, outstandish way. If the shoe fitsā¦
-Raphael sure was the bullying-type of brother when he was younger, but quickly grew out of that after he hurt Donnieās feelings a little too much. He got in sooo much trouble with Splinter and learned his lesson real fucking quick, though he naturally regretted doing it even before his punishment.

Splinter: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

I'm feeling down today so how about a depressing ask. What if the guys knew something was wrong with their crush and when they finally ask/get it out of them their crush starts crying and in the most serious tone says, "I just want it all to end, I just want to die..." How would the boy's react? Thank you for your timešš
Leo: his jaw would drop just a little when they fall against his shoulder, body racked with sobs. heād pull them close instantly, forgetting completely about how nervous he used to be having them close, how his face would heat up uncontrollably⦠heād only care about making them not hurt anymore. heād rub their back and let them cry, saying over and over again,Ā āplease donāt die. the world wouldnāt be the same without you.ā
Raph:Ā heād take hold of their shoulders say with all the tender seriousness in the world,Ā āListen. I know things suck right now. Butā heād poke their nose and make em giggle just a little through their tearsĀ āyou have to promise me youāll NEVER let anything make you feel anything less than completely worth it.Ā ākay?ā Heād hug them fiercely.Ā āCuz youāre awesome, and if I believe it, then⦠no one elseās opinion matters. Cuzā¦cuz Iām awesome too.ā Cue more tortured laughs.
Donnie: he has an enormous vocabulary, a huge vault of memory that holds thousands, maybe even millions of iotas of knowledge. He could spout off any sort of advice he wants⦠but letās be honest, Donatello knows what it feels like to be without hope. He looks at them with the most heartbroken look, and just opens his arms a little. His crush slams into his bear hug, and they sit there, buried in each other, letting sorrow wash over and through them for a while.
Mikey: heād sayĀ āoh baby cakes, noā¦ā heād rush forward and wipe the tears from their eyes, offering them a tiny smile.Ā āwhatever it is, iāll help you through it. pinky promise.ā he takes their hands and attempts to entwine his huge last finger with their finger. heād grin, but the smile would fade when he saw their sad Ā features. heād stroke their cheek real gentle, and whisper,Ā āweāll get through this. YOU will get through this. You can do it.ā
*All the seagulls from Finding Nemo at once*
When ya see someone eating something youād put in the fridge to save for later:
When youāre heading to the bathroom and you see someone heading there at the same time:
When your asshole brothers donāt understand that youāre the leader and you totally know what needs to be done and you need to tell those fuckers that the only opinion that (you think) matters is
"RETREAT!! GET TO SAFE GROUND!"
"SHUT UP MIKEY!!"
*Here comes China*
"What in the world..."
"GOT HER!"
"RAPH, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS OFFERING AS WELL AS OUR DEEPEST APOLOGIES."
HC that Raph has a fine china tea set and NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE.
Itās official in my book.
Canāt change my mind, sorry.
I FUCKING SNORTED šššš

Line up bitches, yall getting downloaded
internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you donāt get the physical copy but you still get all the great content
I remember being driven in an ambulance to a mental hospital and I was making jokes (it's a coping skill of mine) and one of the doctors in the car told me that I was bright for my age and he wished more people were like me. Two weeks later when I was being transported by van to the residential facility and I was I little quieter but every now and then I would tell a joke or two. The guy driving the van turned to look at me and told me that I was such a fun person and that I had a future where I would finally be happy. I still remember his face and his name was Lauffe. He always laughed at my jokes for the months of my stay and was so friendly. While I was there I met so many amazing people and it pained me to see them going through so much shit. I cared about all of them and I still remember all of them. Emily, Vanessa, Alora/Ace, Jacob, Julio, Andreza, Cassy, and a few more. If you guys are reading this, it's potato and I still think about you guys and hope you're alright. People really do care... šš
I work in an ER and we see suicides all the time. And we get at least 3 suicidal ideations a night. We all care about you. I promise, we do. A team of complete strangers who have worked 3+ 12 hour shifts this week who are being screamed at all day and night and probably havenāt had lunch and trust me, we still love you and care about you.
We had a 16 year old patient last night who we couldnāt save. We were in that room with this patient for over an hour, we did everything we could. And let me tell you, we all cried. The EMTās, the nurses, the doctor. We all huddled together in the doctors dictation room and cried.
I went through the rest of my shift with smudged mascara and tracks on my cheeks.
I remember the names of all the patients that have taken their lives on my shifts.
I remember squeezing the hands, smoothing the hair, kissing the foreheads, and wiping away the blood and the vomit of every patient that has left me too soon.
I can still see every face that I have zipped into a body bag.
Trust me, someone cares about you. You have never met them yet. You donāt ever think about them. They are never remembered when you talk about heroes and role models.
But someone loves you.
This is beautifulšš
Ok so I literally can't breathe I'm laughing so hard just thinking about this. So let's say the turtles and crush are watching a movie when she farts (a silent but deadly) but doesn't say anything, just waits for a reaction. When the Bros smell it who's gonna start pointing fingers at who? (Bonus points if she just blatantly states, "it was me," and their reactions to that) šššš Thank you so much! You're amazing!
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS JESUS H CHRISTIAN
Leo:
He thinks itās so childish to fart in the middle of everyone, so he assumes itās Mikey being Mikey and begins to exercise his gift of holding breath for long intervals. The bros are all chiding each other, saying how unclassy it was to do that in front of a lady. When crush nonchalantly admits it was her, Leoās eyes almost pop out of his head in shock. While the rest of his brothers are cracking up, Leo kinda gapes, wondering how anyone could have such courage as to⦠let one loose in public.
Raph:Ā
He knows itās her the moment he smells it. He looks over and sees her lips pursed, trying to hold back a smile, and her legs are pressed together unusually tightly. He accuses her right off the bat, waving a hand in front of his nose and announcing to the entire lair,Ā āGEEZ, LAY OFF THE BEANS, Y/N.ā She gasps in mock horror, before saying casually,Ā āWell, compared to your farts, mine smell like roses.ā His brothers proceed to catch their wounded brother from the fatal burn that was dealt to him.
Donnie:
Like Raph, Donnie knew the moment she cut the cheese that she was the culprit (her supposedlyĀ āsilent but deadlyā had lacked silence but was still very much fatal). Sheās very sheepish when his brothers begin turning to her in suspicion. Mikey leans forward, sniffing between Donnie and his crush, who are sitting next to each other.Ā āAlright, which one of you dropped the booty bomb.ā Her entire face goes red, until Donnie comes to the rescue.Ā āUh⦠that was me guys. Sorry.ā She gives him the most grateful look while his brothers relentlessly tease him.
Mikey:
āOh, so weāre at THAT level of our relationship, huh?ā Mikey smirks when his crush laughs uncontrollably after farting. He takes that as a signal that theyāre comfortable enough to begin letting their gross sides show. Theyāre gross little children, so from that point forward they start a competition of who can catch the other completely off-guard with a silent passing of wind.Ā āY /N, can you hand me the⦠OHHHHH! That was a quality one. I didnāt see that coming. Thatāll make a lovely topping to my anchovy pizza, thank you.ā
