You're not far off. I've seen some funny ones of Shredder/April, Splinter/April, and Shredder/Krang. Might have to go hunting now just see if there are and Saki/Splinter (Yoshi) fics.

Tube of black henna +
Leo's simple little wrist tattoo + my ankle and an attempt to copy it just for fun and why the heck not. It's a little messy and probably more crooked than I can tell, but turned out okay and only temporary, so good enough and a decent test of the stuff. Got a tube of black and blue (and debating on getting a few more colors) to play with for the summer; TMNT themes or otherwise. 6/30 - Remember those old Magic Eye books? They should have done a TMNT one. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. 7/2 - Shame on you, whoever stole one of the stickers out of a TMNT b-day card at one of my stores. Now the whole thing has to be credited out and tossed, because no one is going to buy it for a kid with it missing. Shame. The Leo sticker no less... And you call yourself a fan of heroes...good guys. *TISK* They'd be disappointed in you. Even if it's fine for me to keep the rest of the sticker sheet from it before I toss it out, there's no Leo. HMPH. Last edited by IndigoErth; 07-02-2019 at 01:07 PM. |

Was playing Rocky Horror's Time Warp on YouTube, and maybe it's incredibly random...but I sort of want to see the Turtles do it, along with human friends (and maybe some fellow mutants), of course. That would be amazing.
7/28 -- Is there any particular reason why pre-owned TMNT "The Works" Volume 4 is particularly expensive? Been keeping an eye out for one that's a decent price, but so far $30 is still the cheapest I've seen anywhere online. Just saw new eBay listings for it and three of the others all posted by the same seller and even then the 1st and 2nd are just under $20, $10-something for the 5th book that can easily be found cheap on ebay (why is that one so cheap?) and the 4th... $38. What gives. I assume the seller probably checked to see what the going prices were on the site, but it's odd I never see it at a better price, even those only listed as GOOD condition, and meanwhile in April I scored a LIKE NEW volume 3 for only $12.

I can easily see a few pages of IDW where Pete is wearing this:

Have there been real life sightings I'm not aware of? Guys, I think Google knows something.

[Sorry for not just editing a previous post, but the thread won't be viewable if I just do that.]
Had a thought... How well do the Turtles hear? Since reptile hearing generally isn't as good as that of mammals, and supposedly all turtles and tortoises actually hear better under the water, and our boys even wear masks covering their ears, further potentially muffling the sound... They don't act hard of hearing, else they'd get taken by surprise more often, so what way could mutation have made their hearing better and more like us? Esp with not having the outer ear advantage that mammals have. |

When I see the Tony Jay voiced Lord Dregg talking to the Hunchback Mung, I can't help but be reminded of Frollo and Quasimodo.

Not really a random thought... just random junk I read. But the only reason that would not have freaked me out is because I recognize it.

David Wise dying has made me stop procrastinating coming back to this online community. I would have come back eventually but kept putting it off.

After pondering over it, I begrudgingly respect the Rise iteration of the TMNT.
It wanted to do its own thing, and sticked with itself to the end. That makes me appreciate it more than its predecessor who, at many points, didn't know what it wanted to be. |

So apparently, in April 2019, he, along with Thomas Middleditch, made some uncomfortable rape jokes during a Chicago Theater show. Middleditch has now been accused of sexual assault. Both events happened AFTER the #MeToo movement had occurred. Just, ... wow. |

Well that's rather cringy.
Thought of this thread while at work. I'm sure most fans have things that sometimes make the TMNT (or some other interest) come to mind when just out and about. Be it a song playing in a store that was from a film or something else. One of mine is some of the cardboard trays my company ships stuff in within the boxes they send to my stores. I'm not sure if it is initials of people who make them and are stamped into the cardboard or what it might mean... but some of them are stamped (in caps) LEO. |

It's not just cringy. It's horrific. It shows that we, as a patriarchal society, still have a long way to go. I just learned that Schwartz is not only infamous for being pompous around certain people ( i.e. comedians ), but that he doesn't even have a house/home. He resides within a hotel room. He also has a secret R3dD!t account. I hope the other shoe doesn't drop ... I'm anxiously uncertain. Last edited by Papenbrook; 11-07-2021 at 01:41 AM. |

Random thought...I was recently wondering how much of TMNT comics has been untapped by the adaptations. A whole lot.

He's lucky Rise already bombed. If Jason Biggs got kicked because of his behavior on social media, Schwartz's ass might have been burnt to a crisp. Celebs with secret accounts for anonymity and being able to interact online without having to be "that person" and just get to be normal there doesn't surprise me... So long as someone isn't just doing it in order to be able to be a creep online and protect their public reputation. The hotel thing... eh. Depends on someone's life and career, I guess. If someone spends a lot of their time traveling and being in different places all the time it might make sense not to buy or rent a place if they're never there anyhow. (Maybe he did rent and didn't renew it.) If not, well it would certainly be unusual. (edit: Esp at his age. Just realized he's almost 40. Thought he was way younger than that. A 20-something not settling down into a home would surprise me less.) Last edited by IndigoErth; 03-24-2021 at 03:53 PM. |

I was recently contemplating a world in which the TMNT were called Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and BERNINI. Yeah. Apparently, Donnie's name came down to a coin toss because Eastman loved Bernini the most as an artist.
Leo, Raph, Mikey, and Bernie? Still could have worked great... and none of us would have ever known the difference. |

That reddit post, huh?
Donnie vs. Berni the Turtle. Imo, they made the right choice. lol I guess we'd be used to it if he was Berni, but like Donnie better. There'd at least have been a TMNT election themed shirt for sure. |
