I feel like Rise!Splinter is often done dirty by both the show and Rise watchers— particularly first time watchers who only saw him as a lazy and deadbeat rat dad and not an extremely traumatized man who’s carrying the weight of generational trauma and resentment stemmed from the Hamato clan martyring themselves to a threat he didn’t understand; and even despite all the familial issues he should carry, he still clearly wanted to have a family himself— both through wanting to marry Big Mama and then eventually adopting the turtle brothers. He didn’t have to do that! But he did. He’s easily one of the most compelling incarnations of the character to exist.

I do wish the show would explore his character without the need to make it comedic, dramatic, or centering solely on his sons. He’s a former superstar who drastically has to adapt to his new painfully mutated body right after being kidnapped. He also has a POC immigrant narrative where he set off by himself to escape traditions and responsibilities he couldn’t understand in his youth but is now slowly trying to teach his sons the same lessons he kept dismissing. He’s also painfully parental when he’s not indulging and losing himself in his shows— especially in how he wholeheartedly accepts April as his own daughter and tries to do the same for Cassandra. You know damn well he would try to do it to Casey Jr. too.

Just… Splinter, man, dear god.

Rottmntober day 2!

✨Fave human ✨

I love both so i did both (again lol)

I like how this Casey turned out, not bad for being the first time i draw him 🏃

I think i'll keep up just fine i'm feeling so motivated rn 🏃🏃

More ROTTMNT Headcanons: Cause today was stressful and I want to blow off some steam

So we never found out how or when the boys met April but for some reason, my brain has a specific order of who trusted her first and last 

Mikey trusted her first 

All she had to say was “I love Jupiter Jim” and suddenly they were best friends 

She gained Raph’s trust next 

He likes to pretend like he trusted her last but in reality, she gained his trust the second he realized she wasn’t scared of them 

She gained Donnie’s trust six months into their friendship 

He’s normally a skeptical person and it takes years to gain his trust but something about April told him he could let his guard down

She gained Leo’s trust last

He acted as if he trusted her immediately 

But in reality, it took her two years to gain his trust 

And it’s nothing against April it’s just Leo is an incredibly paranoid person and he doesn’t want his brothers getting hurt 

April didn’t do anything grand to gain his trust 

He just realized that she wasn’t going anywhere and she wasn’t going to hurt them so he decided to trust her

I also have a very specific order of who learned how to crawl/walk/talk/read first 

According to Splinter, “Leo learned how to talk first and then he never stopped” which is true

His first word was “Da” (cause he’s a papa’s boy prove me wrong)

Raph started crawling first and he would run into everything 

Poor baby got two concussions before he turned five 

Mikey started walking first and he used to walk in between Splinter’s legs like a cat 

Splinter has a lot of scars on his legs that he refuses to talk about

The boys are under the impression that there’s some deep and mysterious backstory behind them  

But in reality, Mikey tripped him a lot and Donnie had a habit of leaving sharp objects around the house 

And Donnie started reading first but he didn’t start talking until the twins were three

And the only time he talked was to ask for food, water, and supplies 

Because of this, the boys are good at reading Donnie 

Leo is the best at reading the “Donnie queues” 

One time Donnie told Mikey “it’s like he knows what I’m thinking before I do”

Leo calls it “twin telepathy” Donnie calls it freaky 

Whenever the group crosses the street Raph forces them to hold hands 

Raph calls it “The Turtle Train” even when the humans are holding his hand

The first time April heard the phrase was after Raph grabbed her hand and said “All aboard the turtle train”

April tried to argue that it technically wasn’t a turtle train cause she was there 

And Raph looked her in the eyes and said “did I stutter”

She stopped arguing after that and now she’s a happy passenger of “The Turtle Train”
