Tired: Rise!Splinter is a neglectful and awful father who doesn’t care about his kids >:(
Wired: Rise!Splinter’s negligence comes from a place of deep trauma that he’s carried with him his whole life – losing his mother, having been betrayed by the love of is life, being imprisoned and forced to fight for his life, used as an experiment and subsequently being mutated and losing his whole identity as a person – and while it certainly doesn’t excuse his behavior, there is no doubt that this man loves his sons fiercely despite his own shortcomings and perhaps it is exactly that love and care that causes him to keep his children at arms length in hopes to spare them his family’s cursed legacy that grooms them into martyrs and are thus destined to die young, a sacrifice for the greater good that Splinter is never willing to make even if it means forfeiting the world to the Shredder. Splinter’s journey of fatherhood began by being completely unprepared as a fresh young single father of four young children that depend on him to survive and there is no surprise he’s hit almost every bump there possibly is when raising a child but never in his life has Splinter ever blamed or resented his children in any way – he is not perfect and he’s aware and he tries to do better all because he loves his kids this fucking much bc despite all the shit he’s been through, those kids made him realize that he can try again. to dismiss him as an awful father is a gross mischaracterization of a deeply traumatized man of color who evidently tried his fucking hardest not to pass on the hurt onto his own children while grappling with his own demons and the crushing destiny of his family’s blood line that took away his mother.

I want more Yoshi, I don’t want her to be one of those one and done type of actresses that you see in these shows. I want her to get all the roles, so many roles. I know Idol Factory does just QLs, it’s a queer media house, but maybe it’s time they branch out to more LGBTQ stories besides just gay and lesbian, I want a series with Yoshi and Gap as the leads. Would it be a heteronormative romance? Yes, because Yoshi is a woman and Gap is a man. Would it still be queer media? Yes, because Yoshi is a transgender woman and the T in LGBTQ is just as important as the rest of the letters.
Transgender characters and actors rarely get main roles in series, I think a Yoshi lead series would be amazing. She has leading lady written all over her, give us our beauty queen Yoshi and our himbo Gap a series! I need it in my life!

Sometimes I think about how it's kind of a bit fucked up that one of the reasons Splinter ran away from his family was because he didn't want to be another Hamato that would probably die fighting the Foot/Shredder...
And then ended up with children literally "designed" to be good soldiers
Like no wonder he didn't train them to be "proper ninjas"!!!
The only time this dude has ever caught a break in his life was his acting career and raising his sons

So I was thinking today (a terrible habit ik 😞) and then this came to mind
It would be interesting if Venus and jenika were in tmnwn
I mean there life is hard enough at the moment and I can't stop thinking about how funny the amount of plotwists they would have then
It be like
"Oh no! Our dad has been kidnapped!"
To
"Omg!! We have a wierd family destiny!!"
To
"OMFG!! We're turtles!!"
To
"Holy shit!!! we have mystic powers!!!"
To
"HOLY PIZZA SUPREME IN THE SKY WE HAVE SISTERS!!!!"
Idk it just seemed fun
Ofc you don't have to add them to the storyline, especially since idk think theyd be really relavent or the current lore anyways
But its still fun to think about
LMAOOOO. I mean, lowkey, it WOULD be funny as fuck. Just really pile it on on them, why not?
As fun as it would be, I don't currently have any plans on bringing Venus or Jennika into TMWN, I'm not sure how I could make them fit into the storyline in any kind of natural way ; w ;
,,, they do definitely exist in at least one of my other AU's, tho,,,

*Yoshi voice* YOSHI!
Yoshi has joined the family! I didn’t have much time today, since I had homework, but I had about half an hour before bed, so I made a quick Yosh! He doesn’t look the best, but he’s good enough, and that’s all I’m looking for, ha. Maybe I’ll redo him later, but for now I’m content with him. ❤️
