Never give up. We still have time to save Rise.

We still have a ninja's greatest weapon:

Hope

I'm not mad that Mutant Mayhem exists, I'm mad that Nickelodeon seems to be glad to move on to a new iteration so quickly when they didn't even let Rise finish, and apparently MM has better action figures before it's even out than Rise got during its entire run.

Why didn't Rise get good toys? The actions figures it has look garbo.

I can't leave LFLS alone today after that last chapter. Here's a color portrait of some ninpo-unlocking Leo after a long road of healing (a long, loooooong road).

MINOR SPOILERS FOR LIKE FATHER LIKE SON BELOW PIC

It's called Karai's Last Gift. In the LFLS timeline I HC that instead of the traditional black wrappings, Karai's spirit gives Leo white ones when he unlocks ninpo. She wouldn't do anything to trigger his PTSD. It's a very fitting color as it resembles journeys, spiritual connection, and cleansing.

I cried a couple of times on this one. Once because it's emotional and once because I hate vector layers with my whole fucking heart. I'm very satisfied with how it turned out considering I doodled it so quickly. Like less than 4 hours.

This parallel hit me like a cement truck when I rewatched Anatawa Hitorijanai yesterday.

Realmente, lloré al ver a raph así. 🥺🥺💔💔. Condenado destructor que no ves que es un bebé?

Y’all….I’m legit sobbing right now. I’m just casually reading this on my deck outside and this post hit me so hard that I dropped my phone and started crying.

THIS is the entire message of TMNT in a nutshell. This is why I FRIGGIN adore this show, this fandom. They’re brothers your honor. Brothers.

We all have our unique gifts, but at the end of the day we’re not alone. We have all have family, whether blood or by choice. We’re NEVER alone.

Thank you @somerandomdudelmao for showing this and doing so in a way that is heartbreakingly beautiful. I’ve never been so shook by someone’s art and story in a way that this has shattered me (in the best possible way)

Part 12!

Okay. A little insight. I originally wanted to do two separate episodes for Leo and Mikey.

And at the end of his episode, Leo would die alone in the middle of the wasteland. Dramatic, angsty, all that yeah

But then I thought about it many, many more times. Leo was essentially never alone. I used to think of him as such a... kind of... somewhat abandoned and lonely character?, because I've read so many fanfics about him traveling back in time.

But canon Leo was never completely alone. Mikey was there, Mikey was with him until the very end. Mikey and him went all the way to the inevitable defeat together.

This wasn't just Leo who lost everything. It was them. Both of them. Together.

This comic really does things to my brain.
