That Is His Father's Child

Is that plush is Dees work? Like he wanted to give his kiddo something he had in his childhood

Sort of! he found it while he was out collecting scrap. It was in pretty bad condition when he found it so he washed and fixed it up so he could give it to CJ. He figured he had turtle plushes growing up, his kid should too.

bonus comic of Dee giving CJ the plush for the first time (b/c its cute)

And yes, it's name is Purple (b/c Cass found a little purple ribbon and tied it on before Dee could give it to CJ. So CJ saw the ribbon and was like "that's a purple ribbon. Purple would be a good name. not knowing his Papa was named Purple when he was small, or that Dee had a similar naming scheme for his stuffies lol)

Also, CJ was definitely taught some sign language since Dee knew a lot of it from when he was tiny and didn't want to talk. A lot of it is altered signs for our three-fingered turtles, but it works lol : )

Thank you!

'art idea that's above your skill set' and 'writing idea that's above your skill set' are tortures I wish upon absolutely no one man

Idk. Here. Some random doodle for you

"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"

"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"

"-but you can trust me when I say-"

"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"

"I don't care for you at all."

"Well, I… oh… I love you too."

THEIR PARALLELS MAKE ME SO ILL

Both of them feeling helpless due to leg injuries

Both of them lying to the people they trust and love the most for the greater good

BOTH OF THEM GOING UP AGAINST LEUVIS WITH AN AXE AND NO HESITATION!!

HELPING HIM ACROSS THE POND AND HOLDING HIS CANE WHILE HE GETS DOWN THE LADDER???!!! They are so wholesome!!!

This moment is also very funny to me since Ray is never directly told Yuugo’s name I imagine during the two week walk back to the bunker Lucas accidentally slips and tells Ray (and apologizes cuz he assumed he wanted to be told like Emma) and Ray is just like

no

give me more blackmail against him

which i assume this scene came from Ray snitching

I know Ray and Yuugo parallels are more obvious but I would have loved for Lucas’s relationships with Emma and Ray to be expanded on as well since I don’t see it as much!

Idk anything about dnd BUT

Also, MNMC Leo and OMO Leo are besties, you can't change my mind~~

Do you ever become mutuals with someone you share an intense interest with and it becomes this limbo of "I want to be your friend SO fucking bad but I'll eat a shoe before dm-ing first"

Why Leo is “Blue”

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)
