TMNT incorrect quotes

Raph: surgery is just stabbing someone to life.

Donnie: please never become a surgeon.

// The audio isn’t mine ! It comes from an episode of Titans and can be found here.

It’s Hawk and Dawn who are singing, but I like to imagine Raph singing instead, since it’s Alan Ritchson the actor. What a voice (and what a man, darn it)

Merry Christmas !

You sat at the table, looking at the box while fumbling with it in your hands

Only a couple weeks ago, the turtles interrupted you while you relaxed in the comfort of your apartment

You were unwinding after a long day, bathed in candlelight and sipping on some sweet wine

Suddenly Mikey and Raph crashed down on your balcony while Leo and Donnie were standing in the hallway (damn them for being ninjas)

And it was no accident, they intentionally scared the living fuck out of you

Throwing the glass of wine across your living room you let out a high pitched scream and fell to the floor

As they were all laughing hysterically, you made it your mission to get back at them

So you waited patiently until the right moment would present itself

And today it finally did

Tearing at the tape of the cardboard box, you ripped it open and triumphantly eyed the object inside

Quietly getting to your feet, you lightly stepped towards the dojo

Stopping at the door, you grasped at the knob and ever so slowly turned the handle

Silently peering in, you saw the turtles in the middle of the room

Sitting in an indian style pose, their hands on their knees in an om position, eyes closed, they all quietly meditated

Keeping your intrusion a secret, you leaned your hand into the slightly opened door, grasping at the white can

Using your index and middle fingers, you positioned them on the button of the small red horn

Using your other hand, you braced yourself on the door frame

This was it, you were going to get even with them

Firmly pressing down on the red controller the sound almost took your breath away

The damn Titanic might as well have been pulling into port with the booming blare coming from the small white can

Slamming the door shut while falling back, you laughed your ass off while leaning on the floor

You could here the cacophony of yelling and cuss words coming from turtles inside

Quickly getting to your feet, you ran down the hall and heard the door swing open

You may have gotten even, but the thunderous footsteps running towards you signified you were in for a serious ass whooping

I was bored at work when this little drabble came into my head. My mind is a scary place sometimes. Much love 😘🤣

Hi I saw you were looking for pointers to write tmnt characters, I like to write Raph angst so here are some Raph pointers.

His temper comes from a place of emotion, likely over stimulation and vonabralitly problems. He's brutally honest and dosnet like to sugar coat things but can and will if nessisary. He has a soft side, he can be sweet and will protect his family at all cost. Keep in mind he's 3d and has some(alot of) inner turmoil.

Thank you for the pointers for Raph. He’s one of the toughest characters to write about-at least for me-since he’s so multi-layered.

My Version of the Hamato Family

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and liking part one. It made my day!

So, this is where I shine in writing. I love creating characters and their backstory; it’s so fun. I think it is more important to focus on characters than the plot since a character can create the storyline- well at least for me.

I’m excited to share! Hope you enjoy!

Comment your thoughts! It would be cool to read them! 😁

……………………..

 Leonardo:

We’re starting with the usual leader-in-blue!

Although I adore Leo, his “perfect” personality can get a little boring. His versions usually have flaws, though they are the kind that makes you sympathize with him rather than feeling indifferent like with Raph’s anger issues.

Season 1 Leo would be a toned-down Rise Leo. He can be cocky when he succeeds over his brothers and would jokingly comment how he is Splinter’s favorite. However, it doesn’t come without hard work. Leo trains the most out of his brothers and spends most of his time studying fighting techniques. He is not naturally talented in ninjitsu like the past incarnations. Also, Leo’s motivations for training very hard and wanting to be leader is more for himself than anything.

Compared to his brothers, Leo was relatively average. Donnie was extremely smart, Mikey had his kind and joyful soul, and Raph was naturally a great fighter. Leo felt left out and decided that training to be a hero would be his way of standing out. He also believed that being special like his brothers was the only way to get Splinter’s attention; and it kind of worked. With all the progress Leo made, Splinter praised him, and they had a way to connect.

Around the beginning of S1(maybe ep. 5), Leo became the leader though how was different. Instead of Splinter deciding, the brothers did; the explanation was the turtles were a team and should make a consensus as one. This news made Leo ecstatic; he was finally living his dreams. Even so, he didn’t realize the baggage and responsibility a leader had to shoulder. Over the course of the story Leo grows as a great leader and fighter.

The Karai/Leo subplot will follow the 2003 version. He is convinced that Karai is a good person and tries to have her switch sides. There will be romantic feelings but its not the main motivation for both of their actions. I can’t say too much since this plot revolves around Karai more.

   Donatello:

Donnie is a blend of 2003/12 versions. He is intelligent with an extremely high IQ and was a gifted child. However, his intelligence came with a cost; making connections with his brothers and father was really tough for him because of their different interests. This left him withdrawing from everyone and focusing on his inventions. His social skills evolve once the turtles visit the city and meet April. The increasing danger of the Kraang further builds his relationships since communication is important in teamwork, and Donnie’s talent in inventing grew more in the spotlight.

Because of her fascination with Donnie’s smarts and inventions, April and Donnie become good friends as the story continues. Donnie also gets close with April’s best friend, Irma since they are science lovers. At first, Casey irritates him as they have clearly different personality; Casey’s impulsive and extroverted attitude conflicting with Donnie’s plan-based mindset.

Donnie’s love for his family is showcased after witnessing a terrifying, apocalyptic future where his family suffers. Paranoia sets in. His work to calculate the cause of this terrible, and its solution leads Donnie to rarely take care of his needs. He has to learn to trust in others instead of doing things alone.

 Raphael:

Unlike Leo, Raph is instantly gifted in fighting. He has more physical strength than his brothers and would constantly beat them in practice. Since childhood, Raph was Splinter’s “favorite” in the dojo and that definitely got into the red-banded turtle’s head. He would brag to his brothers and jokingly poke fun at their techniques. It wouldn’t affect anyone. Except for Leo.

Raphael’s ego started taking hits once Leo caught up to him and beating him in practice once in a while. It turned into anger after noticing Master Splinter praising Leo more. The tension soured their brotherhood. Unlike most versions, Raph’s anger is fueled by insecurity. He believes that fighting is the only thing he is good at and will get territorial if his spotlight is threatened.

Throughout the story, he learns to move on from his demons and realize his worth.

Family is important to Raph. He can be hard on his brothers yet will do anything to keep them safe, especially Mikey- his positivity must be protected. Casey and Raph become best friends for their similarities and love for fighting- they are impulsive bros.

 Michelangelo:

Mikey’s role is to be the positive and glue of the team. He loves to make people happy and would always do something goofy or kind to do that. His family have nothing bad to say about their youngest member and are very protective of him. The youngest brother doesn’t take ninjitsu as seriously as skateboarding, dancing, or just general fun. Though, he will be serious when the situation calls for it, such as the fate of his family and the world.

Although being an open ear to anyone, Mikey is not open to expressing his negative emotions due to his fear of damaging the family dynamic. It is noticeable when he is upset because he jokes more often and not focus. A lesson he must learn is to accept the good and the bad. Mikey can be reckless, mostly when his brothers rarely let him participate in missions. He wants to prove to his family that he is strong enough to protect himself and others. Reading people is his best skill and takes great pride in it, usually taking on the role of a therapist.

 Splinter/Hamato Yoshi:

I really wanted to take Splinter’s role in the Shredder’s descent to evil in the grayer area. He is usually the victim/innocent party of the story, which can get boring after a while.

Hamato Yoshi was born as the heir to Hamato Clan and childhood best friend of Oroku Saki. The Hamato and Foot clan were allies for centuries and would usually fight by each other’s side. Matters changed when the Foot’s beliefs grew more sinister. This left the Hamato Clan to eradicate their former ally. Splinter saved Saki before he could be killed, though, it came with consequences. Oroku Saki vowed to exact revenge for his fallen home. Growing up, Splinter became one of the strongest martial artists in Japan and married a woman named Tang Shen, later becoming a father to a girl. His world ended once he saw his clan destroyed and his family killed by the renewed Foot Clan.

Yoshi decided to move to New York and forget his old life. Years later, the martial artist noticed strange people caging defenseless animals. He would fight them long enough to protect four humanoid turtles, deciding to keep them after a moment of compassion. Splinter would continuously fight the strange men until a strange liquid turned him into a rat. This turning point banished Splinter and the turtles to the sewers for protection.

Splinter equally loves his sons. He would always make sure to give them equal amounts of love to avoid lasting issues. Though, he has made some mistakes. Emotions were rarely discussed because of Splinter’s unintentionally withdrawn attitude. The rat master wouldn’t instantly notice problems between his sons, and usually didn’t know how to resolve them. No matter what, Splinter is proud of his children and would do anything to keep them safe; sometimes not realizing that it could hurt them.

Hamato Yoshi’s guilt and trauma over the terrible moments in his life would be the main focus of his development.

April Kunoichi Rant

I’ve seen people complain how April became a kunoichi so fast; I was one as well. But, I just watched City at War(the episode where she becomes a kunoichi), and I missed a detail the first few times I watched it.

Around the very beginning, April is reminiscing about how much she has grown since the first season, and is very happy that she is a kunoichi. Then, Raph mentions that April needs more training to be a full kunoichi; she is only in the beginner levels.

This makes sense.

In the first season, the turtles are considered ninjas but still had a lot to learn. That wouldn’t be different for April.

2003 Shredder Rant

Am I the only one who was annoyed the writers kept “tricking” the audience into thinking Shredder was dead?

It was so annoying. I was fine with it the first time since one fake death usually happens in shows. But doing this over 4 times is excessive and bland. This writing choice really made it hard for me to keep going with TMNT 2003. Killing off the Shredder wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Bringing new villains would have been fun and unique. A version of Shredder was the villain for every season except S6. There was Utrom Shredder, Karai Shredder, Demon Shredder, and Cyber Shredder.

This over reliance was the show’s crutch.

I still enjoyed watching the show tho.

Tmnt 05 art goes insane

Spot the MLP reference 🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️

(Use she/he for Raph btw thanks gang)

the gangs all here pt2

the gangs all here

ref sheets of my tmnt au (forgive me for how unorganized they look/silly)

small shitty doodle of how Ralph got his first (and most prominent scar)

It was all this time basically when the turtles first got their real weapons they started training it was going good until Leo accidentally cut raph’s face open (Leo was terrified and still apologizes to this day)

when Ralph saw it, he thought it looked so cool I decided not try and heal it so it would stay a scar, and he still doesn’t regret it >:)

OOTZ TURTLES LOVE LANGUAGE

(Bc it’s important to me)

Leo- acts of service, quality time, and words of affirmation

Donnie- gifts and acts of service

Raph- quality time (& although he’ll never admit it physical touch)

Mikey- basically everything tbh but he a very physically affectionate guy the most :)

Is son

SOMEONE ELSE SEES MY VISION OML

This is probably my favorite concept in the idw comics

“Mama I’m chasing a ghost.”

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Michelangelo: I think Leo's possessed.

Donatello: [barely looking up from his coffee] Oh, fantastic. That’s just what we needed.

Raphael: [grumpily rubbing his eyes] It’s seven in the freakin’ morning, Mikey. Can we not start with your nonsense already?

Michelangelo: I’m serious! Look at him!

[Leonardo sits at the table, calmly eating a spoonful of Cheerios while reading The Art of War.]

Raphael: [deadpan] Wow, Leo’s eating breakfast. Better alert the Vatican.

Michelangelo: He doesn’t eat breakfast!

Donatello: [squinting at Leonardo] I mean… he usually doesn’t, but maybe he’s turning over a new leaf? Healthy habits?

Michelangelo: Healthy habits my shell! It’s not what Leo’s eating—it’s what kind! Cheerios over Lucky Charms?! Everyone knows he has a sweet tooth he tries to hide from us, and those are his favorite!

Raphael: [throwing his hands up] One meal. That’s all I ask. ONE. Without Mikey accusing somebody of being a zombie, or a werewolf, or—

[Michelangelo suddenly holds up a crucifix and points it at Leonardo.]

Michelangelo: BEGONE, DEMON!

[Leonardo’s eyes flash black, and he lets out an unholy roar, flipping the chair over as he collapses to the floor.]

Raphael & Donatello: [screaming] WHAT THE HELL?!

Leo and Raph have a beautiful relationship. I been so obsessed with them lately

Raph: I would die for you Leo

Leo: please don’t

Raph:

Leo: what?

Raph: you know what

Hi, sorry for the lateish response! I’ve been obsessed with their relationship ever since I first watched the various iterations as a kid, but there’s something about the 2003 series that really stands out. I feel like their dynamic was written so well because their conflicts never felt unnecessary or forced, like they sometimes do in other versions. Even when they argued, their love for each other was always so evident.

And yes, absolutely—Raphael is always ready to throw himself into danger for Leonardo, and all Leonardo wants is for him to stop doing that (even though he’d do the exact same thing for him in a heartbeat) Their bond is just so compelling. Thank you again for the ask!

This is absolutely stunning, and I’m beyond honored that my fanfiction inspired this! Seeing one of my favorite quotes, “Must I always suffer in your place,” woven into the background makes it even more heartbreakingly gorgeous. Thank you for bringing this to life so beautifully!

Do you love having your heart broken? Then you might enjoy the fic "Sometimes Dead is Better" by @bangs-coffee-fandoms-unite as much as I did! I had to draw some two AM fanart for it so it wouldn't haunt me (Just kidding, it's still going to haunt me :'D) Seriously, though, it's so gut-wrenchingly good. Go check it out!

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Civilian: You in the lizard costume, I want to speak to your manager!

Raphael: Oh, you wanna talk to my manager? Sure, hold on.

[Raphael pulls out his shell cell, dials a number slowly, and holds it up dramatically.]

Raphael: [speaking into the phone] Leo, some bitch wants to talk to you.

[Raphael pauses, listening to muffled talking from Leonardo on the other end of the line. Turns back to the civilian with a smirk.]

Raphael: Yeah, he says you can take that complaint and shove it up your—

[Raphael cut off by loud yelling from Leonardo on the other line.]

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Raphael: Oh, I see what’s happenin’. You’ve got a Leo.

Casey: [confused] What? A Leo?

Raphael: [nods knowingly] Yeah, that little voice in your head that tells you you can’t do stuff.

Raphael: [mockingly imitates] “Raph, don’t do that. Raph, that’s not honorable. Raph, hitting unconscious opponents with their own fists and asking why they’re hitting themselves is not the ninja way.”

Leonardo: [appears in the doorway, arms crossed, glaring] Raph. Casey. What are you two up to?

Casey: [eyes wide] I HEAR IT!

Incorrect Canon 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quotes

Raphael and Michelangelo, both on a mission to finally get the stoic Leonardo to cry.

Michelangelo: [slaps Leonardo across the face dramatically] Take that, Sir! Behold a teenage mutant ninja turtle weeping like—

[Leonardo, unfazed, grabs the nearest chair and smashes it over Michelangelo’s head.]

Raphael: [blinks in disbelief] That—that was your plan?! Mikey, are you crying?

Michelangelo: [sniffling and clutching his head] Yes I'm crying—he hit me with a chair!

I just uploaded the first chapter today, and the final chapter will hopefully be out on Halloween:

For Halloween, I am currently spiraling into madness writing a Pet Sematary-inspired take on the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Raphael is unable to move on after Leonardo dies during what was supposed to be just another routine trip to the surface.

The grief eats away at Raphael, and while staying at the farmhouse, he hears from a neighbor about the cursed soil in the apple orchard. The neighbor warns him not to bury his brother there, giving the classic warning, “Sometimes, dead is better.”

But Raphael, being Raphael, does not listen. Desperate to have Leonardo back, Raphael buries him there anyway. And when his brother returns, he does so as a malevolent entity.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please comment or reblog! I am thinking of posting the first chapter this week. It should only be about two or three chapters and finished by Halloween 🎃

my entire world is just these 4

Behold my turtle's ships!!

I put my best friend in here...

Well, i put his sona

i did the thing

but also-

my true comfort characters lol

Посидим | Let's sit down

Это моя терапия — сидеть с черепашками в покое и расслаблении.

It's my therapy to sit with my turtles in silence and relaxation.

Донни просто в неловком недоумении от происходящего в целом, но вроде бы всё более менее нормально

Donnie is just awkwardly perplexed about what's going on, but everyone seems to be more or less okay.

Раф определённо не доволен, но уйти ему просто не дали. А он не дал себя гладить. Но он слишком милый и забавный в своей надутой злости

Rafe was definitely not happy, but they just wouldn't let him leave. And he didn't let himself be petted. But he's just too cute and funny in his pouty anger.

Чаепитие с Сплинтером | Tea with Splinter

Я откусил себе кусок свободного времени, что бы рисовать. Правда я изначально сел рисовать совсем другое, но черепашки быстро выбили из моей головы всех, кто там был

I took a bite out of my free time to paint. I was originally going to paint something else, but the turtles quickly knocked everyone else out of my head who was there

Я решил попробовать рисовать их в своём стиле. Но я знаю, что я ещё не определился, как буду их рисовать и они точно будут меняться. И пририсовал к братьям чужого оригинального персонажа, тоже черепашку. Он мне под руку попался просто

I decided to try to draw them in my own style. But I know I haven't decided how I'm going to draw them yet, and they're bound to change. So I drew the four brothers and someone else's original character, also a turtle. She just happened to fall into my lap.

И последним наброском я устроил чаепитием с Сплинтером. Я очень хотел чай, но и забыл его себе заварить. Зато нарисовал, как пью чай с сенсеем. Хотелось бы действительно устроить такое чаепитие

And for the last sketch, I had a tea party with Splinter. I really wanted tea, but I forgot to make it for myself. But I drew myself having tea with Sensei. I wish I could actually have a tea party like that
