The Fact The Phrase “try Harder” Has Enough History That If Someone Says It There’s A *quickly

This concept is only fun to me in a 2012 Jonatello context- Mainly because I just don't have Casey react at all and be like, "Cool. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ " half the time- LMAO

This is the same purple turtle who tries to murder a man in this episode btw

No, no, you need to give everyone the full picture:

Even better the full sequence:

(I love the way both their faces transition)

I can't even- Leo being like SO TICKED OFF and then giving Donnie that look after he catches him??? Happy silly little "hey bro I just saved you <3" As Donnie's just like "oh, thanks man"

I dunno how to describe it but it makes me feel all soft and mushy inside sfjsdkfjkdfsjkfhkssd THE BROTHERS EVER

I'm drawing vampire Donnie and I just realized that I forgot his FUCKING CHOKER

Also more Toxic Casey because I need it in my life right now-😔👍 Lmao /hj 🖤💜

if i don’t stop seeing that flesh cowboy hat tubi ad im gonna lose it

Do you ever think about how 12! Mikey probably feels personally responsible for his brother's happiness

Do you ever think about Leo tries to sacrifice himself a few too many times for it to really just be him taking responsibility as leader

Do you ever think about how Mikey probably worries that one day he'll wake up and Leo will be gone because he didn't do enough to make him happy

oh casey pining…bc he literally would. Also i have a TikTok now :D username is same as on here, might post more there now not sure yettt

three person poly relationship made up of two people who are already dating trying to coax someone with horrific self worth issues into a loving relationship. stray cat style

I'm not sad, I promise! Sometimes I just draw sad things, yeah :D

I just wanted to draw Ice Cream Kitty and… well, my brain didn't think of anything else. I like to imagine this happened right after losing Splinter.

And I'm very tempted to draw the other kids.

one of my moots was yappin about this shit but I AGREE SO MUCH

there are so many sad scenes in tmnt 2012 where donnie has genuine body dysmorphia, even going as far as to call himself a monster in some cases (if I remember correctly)

in that one episode when they face their "greatest fears" donnie's is the idea of april seeing him as just a freak of nature (despite the fact she does little to imply this thought and none of his brothers share this fear, most likely because they've never viewed themselves as monsters the way donnie has seen himself throughout the series)

none of the others ever see their mutation as negative in anyway other than donnie, although it is useful, it often feels as if it makes him feel like a freak undeserving of love

idk man wanted to share my thoughts on this @phewgitoid has a better post about this stuff
