These Lines Are So Yummy :3

ROTTMNT SHIRT 🎸🐢

Kick off the new year with a Rise of the TMNT MAD DOGS™ band tee! Pre-orders end January 7th. Link HERE

I got these mineral wash shirts printed by Raw Paw, an artist-run print studio in Austin, Texas. They manage shipping & handling and are great at what they do. I bought one for myself (creator sample) and I’m obsessed with it—the print quality is great! You can also get it as a tank top.

Part 2!

of the C.A.S. Animated project:D

A special thank you to Solid Helium and Lizart Lotte for their efforts. And a huge, giant thank you all for your donations. Because of them, I can skip the stage where I save money for animation and get right to the creation process>:D

Dissecting the Krang Fight

I've wanted to do this for a while but was afraid I was going to step on some toes, so I never did. Also, finding the clips I want to find is hell, so I'm not sure where to start. However, I haven't seen it done and I want to have this stashed somewhere for posterity, so I'm doing it.

Leo in Rise is a showboat. He adores showing off, peacocking, and everything else that addresses vanity to the point where it shows up in his fighting. I can think of two moments when it's at its extreme, though, and that would be in Many Unhappy Returns with the fight against the Kraken and the Evil Six.

And the fight against Shredder where he just... grabs his sword with his teeth because he freaking can.

In fact, it's only in the movie where I would say that we see Leo's true potential as a fighter and a strategist and I think I can boil it down to three moments. The one where he goes for the key and Raph has to sacrifice himself to make sure Leo gets home. The fight with Krang Raph. And the one that absolutely takes it home, the sacrifice against Krang.

Let me explain.

The first fight with Krang, he's still showing off to a certain degree. Playing distraction, trying to figure out what the Krang are capable of right up until their powers get stolen. Then, Splinter gets hurt, things turn for the worst, and Leo...

is left with no other choice but to plan on the fly.

And he does it. Blows every expectation out of the water and manages to get the Key from under Krang's nose. What did him in? He only thought of getting the Key. He didn't think beyond it. He forgot his escape plan.

The second moment would be the fight with Krang Raph.

Again, he's trying to figure things out and trying to buy time. He knows he's got to get his brother back, but he's also playing distraction. Krang's watching and that's keeping his eye off Leo's brothers.

Reason why I know this?

The third moment, the one everyone remembers.

The one where Leo puts everything on the line and is left to make a decision that he knows he has to take despite knowing what it's going to cost, and here's why.

The entire fight with Krang, that self-sacrifice, is long decided even before he stands.

Before this

Before this

Here

is when he formulates what he's got to do to save everyone. Not to win the fight, to save everyone. Why?

The fight itself lasts two moves. Two of Leo's moves, too. The portal first and then him swinging his blade off into the Prison Dimension. He did not let Krang do anything that could sabotage him. He was running on low already, he had one chance.

And he made it count. This was thought through. Leonardo Hamato knew exactly how to play his cards against Krang and got a victory out of it.

How is this insane? Because typical heroes don't do that. You know who does? Chessmasters and Villains. The ones with the grand plans that the heroes have to struggle to stop.

Leo's strength in Rise is downplayed and minimized. Why? Because if they did trust him, he would be devastating.

SO COOL!!!

Here we are! Another animatic inspired by the comic L.O.V.E (Life of violence era) written by @tapakah0 (AKA Tapa)! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COMIC and ALL YOU ART! I might have gotten a little carried away with all the fight choreography I added.... BUT I hope you all enjoy it! GO READ THE COMIC! GO GO GO!

I think we as a society should be exploring how Leo is the most like his father out of all the boys, especially when comparing him to Lou Jitsu (even physically like he really is his kid fr)

U mentioned u see donni as an earth bender. What’s your thought process? Also what do u see the other brothers elements as ?

Oh, that’s quite a good question

I see Donnie as an earth bender because of his personality. He’s a bit close minded, persistent and stubborn. Plus metal bending abilities would be quite useful for his inventions.

I see Raph as a fire bender bc of how his rage come out in certain situations. It could really cause damage to surroundings.

Leo as a water bender bc of how he often “goes with the flow”.

And Mikey as a air bender bc of how bouncy and floaty he can be in the show.

You can agree or disagree, but this is personally my way of seing them as benders.

I had this idea ever since I watched the movie and I couldn’t get it out of my head so here you go-

April is the honorary sister and I don’t see enough of her being emotionally vulnerable with the boys. I NEED MORE APRIL APPRECIATION IN THIS FANDOM

Also something something Leo overcompensating for not listening to his team by locking his emotions away, something something, he tries his best to be a beacon of hope but he succumbs to the guilt every once in a while, something something.
