ranting about tmnt cuz im a nerd

this is something i wrote during the summer but never really published (aka finished) BUT i'm rewriting it + adding a few things cuz 1. i like ninja turtles ALOT and 2. i just really need something to do after school instead of just laying in bed for hours

ALSOOOO TMNTPedia | Fandom check out the tmntpedia website its so cool!!!!!

first off i'm gonna say which version of tmnt i like the most THEN im gonna write ALOTTT about why i like it :3

second, im gonna explain which turtle species the rottmnt turtles are and which one is my fav so u can skip the cringe turtle kinnie part if u want!!

call me basic for this but the 2k12 is the one i like the most because it is one of the variations i watched the most growing up, a close 2nd is either the rottmnt version or the '03 one. The reason why i like the 2k12 one so much is because i relate to all the turtles in some way or another WHICH i will be explaining in the following paragraphs :3 (it gets very cringe and personal so read  if u dare idk)

Leo, he's the leader which makes him responsible for everything his brothers do and try's to take the blame when one or more of them messes up, Leo is a leader or a sort of 'second parent' to his brother (despite them being the same age hes the one responsible for them because hes the leader)

Next is Raph, he cant control his emotions that well, especially his anger and most of the time he lets that take over him which is one of his main flaws. He is also almost constantly made fun of for this which makes it even worse and you can see how that would get to be very bad over time, and he cant talk to anyone about this because he'll either get shut down, or told its his own fault for not keeping his emotions in check. 

Third is Donnie (my fav), Donnie is seen as the smart one who can fix anything without any problems whatsoever, but when there's a something he cant fix or solve he breaks down because he feels like everyone is relying on him for anything and everything so if he cant fix/solve a problem, he thinks their perception of him will be ruined and no one will go to him for anything, leaving him feeling useless. And also because so me and we both love science

Last but not least is Mikey, almost NEVER taken seriously EVER!!! and also cuz he like pizza alot (i love pizza omfg its the best thing ever i love pizza) would go more in depth with mikey but it is 2am rn and i have an exam tmrw BUT ALAS WE WRITE!!!.

ANYWAY!!! now heres the fun part:me talking about turtle species!!!

first off here are the rottmnt turtles and they are obviously WAYY different species than eachother!!

first lets get raph out of the way, raph is an alligator snapping turtle which explains why hes bigger than his brothers, it also explains why his shell is so fucking spikey like god damn; AND it explains his extreme strength. despite how hes portrayed as always overly angry in other variations, in this one hes actually very nice and sweet!! hes scary when he does get mad tho. hes also the leader in this variation :3

next is leo, leo is a red eared slider turtle and u can tell because of the red stripes on his eyes and the yellow stripes all over him!! his shell pattern i also very close to a slider turtles shell.

then we have mikey, mikey is a box turtle!! u cant tell that much but his orange spots and the fact he hides in his shell atleast once per ep gives it away.

LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST: DONNIE!!! donnie turtle species terrifies me but hes my fave so i just gotta deal with it, donnie is a soft-shell turtle. the purple shell he has on his back is actually to protect his real shell!! he can also store most of his tech in it and he has a seperate shell he calls his 'battle shell'. he also has a robot he made called S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N.

the fact they even made them different species AND incorporated it into their personality WHILEE actually making them act like teenagers is just AAAGGHGHGHHGH i love this variation sm AGGHH

thats all 4 now!! lmk if u actually read allat cuz i will love u 4ever mwah

POPI OUT!!!
