A Revised Introduction

A Revised Introduction

Since I actually have a bit of an audience now, I'd like to provide a bit of an Introduction to...well...me. This is for both current viewers and future ones.

I've decided to represent myself using my Rise of the TMNT OC, Regiomontanus (Gio). You may refer to me in-character, or simply as some form of my username (grizzlyofthesea). My pronouns are they/them and she/her.

An approximate layout of my favorite turtles. Honestly, though, everyone aside from Donnie is basically interchangeable. They're all great. (I've sort of "adopted" them as my fictional brothers, too. ^^")

Some of my favorite things:

My dogs (and dogs in general, but mine are the cutest)

Astronomy

Tea

The ocean

Pocket watches and other elements of 19th century men's fashion

Video games

Seafood, especially shrimp

Music

My top fandoms:

FNAF, represented by Mr. Fazbear himself

ROTTMNT, represented by a smol Donnie

Super Mario, represented by Princess Daisy

Monster High, represented by G1 Lagoona

Several magical girl anime/manga, represented by Sailor Mercury

Some of my biggest dislikes:

Tomatoes

Onions

Skirts and dresses (wearing them; they can still be cool to look at)

Loud and irritating noises

The cold

Stink bugs (are we sure they aren't actually demons?)

Some skills/talents:

Lifeguarding

Perfect pitch

Playing the piano

Physics (and, by extension, math)

Applicable pride flags:

Aroace

Nonbinary

Genderfluid

Genderfaer

Jellogender

So yeah. That's just a bit of an info-dump about myself. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!

I got bored and made a Disney Villain tier list.

A brief rundown of the tiers:

Underrated King: self-explanatory

Awesome: striking in ways that set them apart from the others (exceptionally flashy, super funny, extra creepy, etc.)

Iconic: just great, classic villains

Neat: not quite on the same level as "iconic," but still enjoyable

Meh: they exist (Clayton's death is truly something else, though.)

The next three tiers are self-explanatory.

"Do these ones really count?": characters that are certainly antagonistic forces, but don't really feel like villains to me for one reason or another

So yeah. What about you guys? Who are your favorite/least favorite villains?

Big Mama: *seductively takes off glasses* Wow, you're... blurry.

Muninn: So, what is Huginn to you? Draxum: The reason I wake up every morning. Muninn: ...That’s adorable. Huginn earlier that morning, barging into Draxum′s room, smacking pans together: WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N., trying to comfort Splinter: What's the problem? Anxiety? Low self-esteem? Obsessive thoughts of random arson? I've been there.

Foot Lieutenant: You were stabbed. Do you remember anything? Warren: Only the ambulance ride to the hospital. Foot Lieutenant: That wasn't an ambulance, I drove you. Warren: But I heard a siren. Foot Brute: That was Hypno. Hypno: Sorry, I got nervous.

Splinter: I'm a firm believer in "if you're going to fail, you might as well fail spectacularly."

Raph: Anyone else feel good when their brain releases a bunch of endorphins? April: Can't relate. Mikey: Why would my brain release a bunch of dolphins?

Okay, so I know that literally none of you care, but I'm retconning Gio's accent color. It was turquoise, but now it's going to be violet. Why?

Complementary colors, that's why.

Their skin is chartreuse, which I have taken to mean as the exact midpoint between yellow and green. This is #7FFF00 in hex color codes (thanks, Wikipedia). Its complementary color is #8000FF, the hex code for violet. I couldn't pass it up.

Don't worry, Donnie. I'm not stealing your purple. Violet's bluer than purple (#800080 according to Wikipedia).

I got bored and found hex codes for the Rise turtles' colors.

These come from the official character sheets, plus a screenshot from "Mascot Melee" for Donnie's organic shell. I copied them all into Microsoft Paint, used the dropper tool to find their RGB values, and then converted from RGB to hex. Was there a simpler way to do this? Probably. But as the title says, I got bored.

He called them corny, then fell asleep.

Partial failure?

After info-dumping about Rise for the past two months to basically everyone in sight, I'm going to try to get my dad on the turtle train tonight. (Huh, that rhymed.) Wish me luck!
