ATTENTION WRITERS

and were being fed the story in a “How I Met Your Mother” format meaning certain events lead to the ending, and the story is either being told to us by Mao or Adorabat or even Shin Mao!!!!.  I thought of Shin Mao telling us the story just as I was typing this.

I actually thought of all this while walking to work listening to the 10hr video of the opening song, because why not.

Reblog the 500,000 dollar written check from Seto Kaiba and money will come your way.

Want a New Show to Watch??

Ok, so, you wanna know a show that’s incredibly underrated, is being treated terribly by its studio, and has a lot of its fans terrified that it’ll be ending prematurely?

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This show deserves so much more love and attention, so here’s a list of why you should at least give it a chance:

1. The Family Dynamic

I’m starting with this one because its probably my favourite thing about the show, and the thing that got me hooked in the first place- the family dynamic in this is incredibly sweet and enduring, but it’s not overkill either.

They explore and show a lot of heartwarming moments, but also display their family dynamic in a really natural way too- it never seems fake. they also have genuine struggles as they try to work through their differences, and it feels real.

(the sibling interactions are on point btw)

(also there’s a lot of hugs)

2. The Storyline

I know a lot of cartoons now share the ‘starting out as just a fun cartoon, then later becoming more serious,’ but I still need to mention that the way it escalates seems natural and well-paced. 

If you’ve watched previous TMNT shows, then yes, it does seem a lot more comedic and different than what the other incarnations gave, but that’s what I love about it- it’s a lot different.

But if you’ve never watched or read anything TMNT- guess what? You’ll still really enjoy it because you don’t need any previous experience with anything TMNT!! They explain everything simply and introduce the characters and what they stand for almost immediately.

What I’m trying to say is, it has a really good plot that’s entertaining but also filled with the world’s lore. 

And character development?? Hell yeah! There’s a lot of it to go around at first (although the show does take a somewhat slower approach to it).

which brings us to the next part…

3. Characters!

Obviously, the main characters in this show are great- you got the four turtles and Splinter, and a really colourful cast of villains. But the thing I love the most about the cast is how diverse they are!! 

Not to mention the girls in this show feel like real characters. And I don’t mean they have traumatic backstories and stuff, I mean they’re treated the same way all the male characters are. And I know this might sound like a small factor, but there aren’t exactly a lot of shows (especially action cartoons) where it isn’t drilled into you that the girls in the show ‘are strong fighters, wow look at them!’ 

its never brought to attention that they’re different, just like… yeah, ofc she can fight, of course she has just as much personality as the guys… 

Look at these girls, I love them

Also, bonus: as of right now, there’s no forced romance! There’s mention of a past romance, but other than that?? Nope, none. And it’s great.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

According to this twitter, Rise of the TMNT is on a ‘production hiatus’ after Season 2 (and I assume also after the movie. I certainly hope the movie wasn’t cancelled…). Not completely cancelled, but they aren’t sure if they’re gonna renew it either. I’m not sure what the options are, if they’d have to keep it on Nicktoons if they did renew it, or if they could put it on Netflix for one more season.

Either way, merchandise seems to be the big reason why Nick’s hesitant, so buy all the merch you’re able to along with the DVDs and buying the eps off iTunes/Amazon/etc. Keep emailing Nickelodeon as well, and again since kids seem to be a huge factor in all this (nevermind that the previous TMNT show seemed to only cater to adults after a while but whatever), try to get relatives or family friends with kids into the show. If you know kids who do watch or like the show, tell Nick about it! Let the channel know there’s a wide audience for it and that if they’d just give the show a chance, they will get views and support!

So yeah, since there’s no official cancellation yet, I’d say keep fighting and keep doing your best to support the show however you can. We’ve still got 23 episodes of Season 2, and if we can change their mind by the finale, there’s a chance we won’t have to wait too long for Season 3

Mikey and Leo attended "Hidden City Elementary." I like to think that the hidden city is a mix of Japanese and New York culture, like San Franscoyko in Big Hero Six.

Heck, I'ma just say it here:

If you haven't yet tried Rise, please do so! It's an excellent show that I believe really carries the core of the TMNT franchise. It's silly and gives us unproblematic teen boys who slowly learn and grow into their role as heroes, as well as fantastic and well-written female characters like April and the Foot's Recruit who can hold their own in a fight.

The animation is gorgeous and gives off the same vibe as Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, but 2D instead of 3D.

The writing is amazing since the writers know how to mix a fresh take on a classic story, with funny moments as well as heartfelt family moments.

The characters all have a new refreshing take on them, and we really get to see new types of dynamics amongst old characters we know and love. The boys are all intense and vocal about their love for each other, and April is treated as one of the family. It's very sweet and heartwarming.

I get that it might not be your cup of tea, and that's ok, but please give it a chance.

RIP Stephen Hillenburg. YOU WERE NUMBER ONE. 🍍
