Good people of The Technodrome Forum!

WhitefinDolphin · 07-19-2013, 01:15 PM

I've been a Ninja Turtle fan for about 5 months, and as much as it's been a short time, I've grown to love this series very quickly.

I never watched any of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid since it was one of many T.V. shows that were prohibited. While I wasn't "allowed" to watch this show (due to reasons still unknown) I saw a lot of merchandise and I heard a lot of conversations about this series during my childhood. In fact, about 15 years ago there was a house down the street from us where I saw a giant wooden hand-painted cut out of Michelangelo in the front yard. As much as I wasn't a Ninja Turtle fan back then, I thought it was a really cool lawn decoration. I can't say I was ever all that curious about TMNT to begin with though, since I felt like the turtles looked weird - especially from the first 3 movies.

Well, it was around the time I met my husband Retro-Specs who tried introducing me to the Ninja Turtles a few years ago, sadly the fandom didn't catch on to me back then. Now, about 5 months ago we were invited to a friend's place to watch the first 5 episodes of the '87 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I accepted his offer to my husbands surprise and I have no regrets.

Since my husband and I are both fans of TMNT now, we've been collecting a few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle items here and there, and we've also grown fond of Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We're also hoping to do some fan art in the future, once we're finished moving and settled in to our new home.

I'm looking forward to having some great TMNT discussions here.

Hey, WhitefinDolphin. Welcome to the Drome. It's nice that you and your hubby are both members here and are sharing your love of the fandom. You'll love it here, and I can't wait to see your fan art when you get around to it.

Welcome WhitefinDolphin to the Technodrome Forums!

So you and "Retro-Specs" are a couple huh?

It's gonna be interesting to have both people in a couple here, since usually it's only one of them registered onto the forums.

You've certainly found the best place to talk, speculate, and debate about anything TMNT related.

If you have fan art, be sure to post of it in the "Fan Works Discussion", I'm sure we would like to take a look at your work in the future!

Thanks BubblyShell22 for your warm welcome! Yeah, me too! I can't wait to draw and share some fan-art with you guys. I've only been practicing every now and then whenever I get the chance, but I haven't had much time lately to plan anything out.

Thank you very much JYX! Yep, we are a couple indeed. It was after he made his account I guess I started checking out this site on my own. I grew pretty curious about it since there's so many interesting TMNT discussions on here. The more I thought about it the more I desired to register my own account. It's a bit of a dive into cold water for me since I've never been on a forum site before.

Thanks for your encouragement, I'm looking forward to having some great discussions and sharing some fan-art in the future.

I thought I wouldn't receive such a warm welcome from a forum site, never have I been so wrong.

Thank you very much Mona_Lisa! Yeah, it's pretty cool that we are able to share an interest for the series together. We've had some great discussions and well as shared some laughs over the fandom.

Really? Haha, I'm sure with some positive encouragement he might grow to like the show like you do. Do any of his friends or co-workers like the show too? Perhaps a Ninja Turtles night could be arranged?
