Day 6: Daydream

I don’t know what’s cuter, the fact that Donald can and will pick up and carry his kids

Or the fact then when he carries Louie Louie holds his hand

JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ANIMANIACS REBOOT AND THIS “IT” PARODY IS STILL FUCKIN ME UP BC IT DIDNT GO AS I EXPECTED AT ALL AND MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH FOR YAKKO???

((SPOILERS FOR EP 11 AND THE FIRST “IT” REBOOT MOVIE))

IN THE REAL MOVIE PENNYWISE SCARES ALL THE KIDS INDIVIDUALLY AND (SPOILER ALERT) THEY END UP DEFEATING HIM BY WORKING TOGETHER BC HE CANT SCARE THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME bc what is scary to one kid isnt scary to another etc 

SO I WAS KINDA EXPECTING SOMETHING OF THE SAME VEIN IN THE SKETCH bUT IN TRUE WARNER FASHION THE “SCARES” HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT ON THEM 

EXCEPT

fOR YAKKO???

WHEN HE IS ALONE WITHOUT SOMEONE CONSTANTLY VALIDATING THE FACT THAT HES FUNNY OR THAT HIS JOKES HAVE SOME KINDA IMPACT (EVEN IF THE REACTION IS NEGATIVE) HE FEELS??? WORTHLESS?? INVISIBLE??? VERY VERY ANXIOUS..

first “nickelwise” doesnt react to his jokes, THEN takes away his ability to talk entirely aND YAKKO GETS SO SCARED HE VERY NEARLY GETS HIS SOUL SUCKED OUTTA HIS BODY BEFORE DOT SAVES HIM AND HIS FIRST REACTION IS 

;;___;;

i feel like wakko and dot’s scares had little effect bc a) dot always thinks shes cute and b) wakko will eat anything whether or not its food, none of these are fears 

bUT YAKKO’S NAME AND WHOLE IDENTITY REVOLVE AROUND BEING THE “FUNNY GUY” THE GUY W THE JOKES! “THE ONE WHO YACKS” 

TLDR; MY BOY HAS A FULL ON PANIC ATTACK AND ALMOST DIES BC HES SO GENUINELY AFRAID OF NOT BEING FUNNY

“I didn’t think you were very nice when I first met you, but now  I feel like I understand you just a bit…”

Oh me? Just thinking about the Mikey development we were robbed of with ride szn2 being cut short.

Thanks for asking

Rewatching When World’s Collide is so funny because I swear the only reason Mikey ended up with electrical powers had to be because in the middle of the writing process for the episode, the writers must’ve realized that they gave him like nothing to do when compared to everyone else so someone just went “lets kill him off briefly and then give him electrical powers when he comes back” and they just rolled with it not noticing how this plot line just happens and is never properly explained.

WEAK HERO

You guys need to read Weak Hero on Webtoons. It centers around a kid named Gray who hands bullies their asses. But he is not like and underdog. He is a goddamn OVERdog. Like the thing is BEAUTIFUL and y'all should check it out. Read the description yourself and get into it.

Despite all the relationships inside tmnt 2012 and the guys having their ways of interacting with each other (a lot of the time fighting), it wasn't an abusive household...

Yeah it was different to how they portrayed them in Rise and how they were brought up had a massive effect on that, but taking what they had and calling it abusive is a major exaggeration. 2012 has portrayed the love the family had for each on countless occasions but that gets shoved under the rug as soon as they wanna compare it to Rise.

Both iterations showed a great example of what it's like to have brothers, the good and the dirty stuff, but they both had just as many links to the other as well as the differences both shows have

Nah fam 2012 was abusive asdfhjk. No parent is perfect, but the was 2012 Splinter overtly favored Leo to the point where, after his death he only addressed Leo specifically when his other grieving sons were right there. He also never gave them the choice, he put them in a feud with a man he had beef with. He made them soldiers, and pushed specifically both Leo and Donnie to breaking points bc they were under such pressure to find and cure Splinter’s daughter all while Splinter sat back and barely joined the search.

All of this is a byproduct of poor writing but it was still compelling if u looked at it through the lenses of “this is what happens when u live in a toxic, abusive household”. And 2012 could have been successfully less frustrating if they would have just acknowledged that this was intentionally meant to portray a sucky family dynamic instead of trying to play it off as normal.

Ultimately 2012 Splinter fostered the tense and strained relationships between his kids, didnt really make the important decisions and left a majority of it on Leo- who then projected his stress onto his brothers, namely Donnie. Then 2012 Splinter knew his favortism was causing Raph a lot of anger and hurt, and did nothing but teach him how to channel that anger...instead of ya know, not favoring Leo to an extreme. He also never spoke to Mikey asfdghjkkl

And when Leo got beaten into a coma, Splinter convinced him his pain was all in his head to get him to recover quicker just to send him out to fight his battles again. He also taught them healing hands mad late and only taught it to Leo and not Donnie who...was the family medic at the time.

Like cmon this is abusive atp! Still interesting! But still abusive!

I was trying to talk about those other forms, all the different ways you can love, some of which are sexual, some of which are romantic, and some of which are platonic,” she says. “None are necessarily better than any other, but all of them have the capacities to help shape who we are and hopefully set us on the path to become the people we really want to be.
