Splinter Tmnt - Tumblr Posts
Hi everyone! Ever since I’ve seen some Instagram posts about TMNT fans’ versions of the show, I’ve wanted to do this. But most of them had drawings so I felt insecure since I’m not a great artist. But I still wanted to give it a try.
Anyway, lets get this started.
Note: This is in beta and changes might happen in the future.
…………………………………
It all starts similarly like the other versions.
The turtles want to explore the city and sneak out. Everything is as normal as New York can be, but it changes when the ninja turtles come across a certain red head (😉) sneaking around. They follow her and discover an alien ship. Having no choice to take the role as the new girl’s protectors, the turtles watch over as she gains information on the aliens such as their species- the Kraang- and their objective with Earth. When the girl is captured, the brothers save her and escape.
She reveals herself to be April O’Neil and explains what she was doing. April is a high school sophomore who works in a news station as an intern, and she wants to prove her abilities with a breakout story. Unlike other versions, the turtles and April don’t have an immediate connection and have no expectations to meet again. The turtles are distrustful of humans since their father/sensei warned them that being accepted by humans will be nearly impossible. Due to underlying issues, April is prone to avoiding people and rarely lets anyone in, except her roommate and best friend Irma. It would take a few episodes for their friendship to really grow and develop.
Splinter doesn’t intervene with his sons’ visits to the city for weeks until they come back injured from a Kraang fight. He decides to ban them from leaving the house in his extreme view of keeping them safe. Splinter lifts the rule when he learns the gravity of the Kraang. With that, he trains his sons harder than ever.
The first season focuses on the brothers’ relationship and growth as a team. Leo learns how to mature and become a leader; Donnie learns to follow his instincts more. Raphael learns to get over his insecure and impulsive nature. Mikey learns to be more mature and open with negative feelings.
The Shredder takes a backseat as the villain until season two, though he appears in season one alongside Karai.
[B]“A” Plots:
-Turtles vs. Kraang

[B]“B” Plots:

-Splinter’s Past
-Shredder
-Karai/Leo’s Relationship
-Casey/April/Irma Friendship
……………………………
This is all I have so far. I’ve only just started on this and I mostly focused on characterization and character development. I’ll have more info to reveal once I post about the characters. I’ve been thinking about writing my version as a book, but I don’t know. It would be fun to see people’s thoughts.
I hope you enjoyed it! 😊
Comment your thoughts.
I love how casey’s reaction to the events of the super shredder fight is just
April: Splinters gone Casey. He fell down the thousand foot pit.
Casey: woah,,, thats deep,,,
Anger clouds the mind. Turned inward it is an unconquerable enemy. You are unique among your brothers for you choose to face this enemy alone. But as you face it, do not forget them, and do not forget me.
I watched the 1990s film for the first time recently. I really really liked it, guys
