I headcannon that, whenever he's angry, Nightmare stands on his tentacles. So I decided to draw it.

Digital version below the cut. [I was not feeling a background lol]

Me after I got a little too excited looking at pretty rocks in a store

Reminds me of Rottmnt with splinter and the turtles, to be honest.

The turtles are fully able to take care of themselves like the bots are, so their parental figures (splinter and Optimus) just hang back and let them figure it out themselves. They only intervene when they need to (such as the turtles being held prisoner by draxum or the rescue bots getting stuck in the past). In my opinion, I think Optimus is trying to help them grow. He’s not doing the best, but he’s busy trying to keep Nevada from blowing up right now and can’t always be there. When he can, however, he feels more confident and sure of his actions. He threw himself through a Time Machine (and bumblebee) to protect the rescue bots. And again, in the alternate timeline, Optimus still tries to let them handle it on their own, while helping in his own way by BEATING THE FUCK OUT OF SHIT ROBOTS.

Tldr: Optimus is taking a hands off approach to parenting in my opinion.

rescue bots optimus is such a funny character because he's. so useless. like most of the time he's just there not doing anything just chilling and almost all of the rest of the time he is actively making things worse. maybe three times he's made good decisions with/for them.

griffin rock is his vacay spot his brain completely shuts down there. or just when he talks to the rescue bots. literally second episode he's already hanging up on them when they bring up legitimate concerns after being zero help. heatwave asked if he had any advice and he went "good luck." and cut the call. legend behavior but also damn you didn't have to do them that dirty.

anyways he's a shitty absent father with communication issues and i think that's very babygirl of him. (jk mostly i mean the rescue bots r very capable w/o him but he has helped them. it's just funny seeing how background he is and how laidback he is in their lives. i think he cares about them but in like a "i don't know what's going on with you guys and i don't think i wanna know so imma stay over here" way.)

If there isn’t 4 autistic people in your squad it’s not a squad lmao

no bc deadass the rescue bots are straight up mean as hell. like, they arent evil or immoral they’re just rude. to the point where they’re meaner than the decepticons ok like megatron kept avoiding actually gettind rid of starscream despite the constant murder attempts but heatwave was willing to get rid of two of the other bots (blades after he abandoned a rescue bc of an avalanche and blurr bc blurr). heatwave is more ruthless than megatron which is so damn funny. blades keeps insulting people for no good reason (sometimes it makes sense but like quickshadow’s accent and how she talks made him so upset). chase is harder to see but he’s willing to do anything to follow the rules and he tends to repeatedly bring up other people’s issues (i dont think i have to explain but like example is little white lies. that whole episode). boulder is very sweet most of the time but the instant heatwave gets in on it he does too. multiple times in the show this has happened (off the top of my head when blades got the scoop claw hw and boulder were laughing at him and when hw made fun of blades boulder laughed, also heatwave was saying blurr was super annoying and boulder agreed).

to be clear this is a good thing. i wanna see more complex characters who are still fundamentally good people!! you can be callous, have low empathy, be egotistical, get angry, make fun of ur friends and still make good choices and still help people. you at your worst and you at your best are still both you, but your worst being bad doesn’t mean your best isn’t good. especially because morality wise the rescue bots are the best people. i mean, they aren’t war criminals (or regular criminals), they don’t physically harm others, they don’t put others at risk (at least not intentionally), and they literally had to pretend to be actual machines while risking their lives every day. these people who treated them as essentially slaves were who they had to protect. and they did it, over and over again, without hesitation. and i think they deserve to be a bit rude for that, and because their meanness comes from caring. if they didn’t care they wouldn’t bother to speak up and be heard, even if it’s in a disrespectful way. but they do.

anyways idk rescue bots brainrot and the concept of a fundamentally good society have been eating away at me.

My fat cat when we wake her up out of revenge for her waking us up at 4:30 in the morning to get breakfast

i looked and she was sleeping like this. on purpose, she chose this. and when she heard me laughing she crawled out from under the duvet all sleepy and gave such an angry offended look

So, we also know that this boy is bad at basketball.

Like, really bad.

Yeah, th-that was just terrible.

But, it made me think.

How is this ninja scientist so bad at this game? It’s just hand-eye coordination, after all.

I mean...

His shots aren't terrible, but they just bounce right off the hoop/backboard. It's almost as if he's aiming at a target-

So, wait. What’s the difference between basketball and pizza darts?

...the arc. Arcing the ball requires a light hand. In other words, it requires restraint.

I believe, that Donatello has great aim, but is terrible at restraint because, when he tries to toss something, it misses the mark.

But, when he throws something...

it’s deadly.
