Rise fixed RAPH for me.

As an older sibling, I related to this big, gentle giant and I love his interaction with Leo so much, especially during the series, where blue used to take sides with his big brother and cause mayhem. I also really liked their clash in the movie, for instance it was a whole new slant on their usual tension, and it showed it doesn’t need to be out and out fighting, it can just be miscommunication and fear that isn’t understood on both sides.

So some of y'all need to go touch some grass and learn that brotherly affection can include forhead and cheek kisses without it being gross

I like to imagine Leo is very affectionate, but when his brothers show him affection, he freezes up. Especially after the invasion, he fucking cries when his brothers show him affection wihtout him needing to "earn it" or anything like that

Raph Is A Great Strategist

Numerous times in the show Raph has shown to have a preference for straightforwardly punching his problems away rather than think up a more complex solution. Like how his immediate fix to getting Mayhem out of the mirror in Mystic Library was to punch everything in the bathroom but the mirror. However, when Raph understands the situation requires more in depth strategy, he’s shown to be an incredibly capable tactician.

(long post ahead!)

In nearly all the plot heavy episodes like Shadow of Evil, Many Unhappy Returns, and the season finales, Raph gets moments where he’s highlighted for his strategic thinking. In Insane in the Mama Train, he’s the one who figures out which eyeball-button goes to the front car with the dark armor, because “‘it was the only button [the Foot Clan] didn’t want me to press!’” [21:05]. He’s also the one who came up with the scheme to defeat all the (known) combatants in the train, with Leo specifically attributing Raph as the deviser during their mind meld [19:46]. In Many Unhappy Returns, after spending a single night waylaying the Shredder, Raph formulated a plan using all the tricks the team learned, seamlessly transitioning the mystic collar Leo acquired into it [19:53], to defeating the Shredder. Additionally, he’s repeatedly called for a retreat during fights, like in Shadow of Evil, Shreddy or Not (Finale pt 2), and the movie, when he can tactically recognize that a battle couldn’t be won. Each time, the show/movie implied that that was the right call, for the family to lose the fight but win the war.

And it’s not just that Raph is good at strategy when he’s pushed to be more serious; the show characterizes him as passionate about creating plans, he enjoys doing it. Literally in the first episode, Mystic Mayhem, after the turtles’ initial plan failed of getting Splinter out of the living room to touch his Do-Not-Touch Cabinet, Raph immediately started devising a new plan that involved “ten chickens [and] a gallon of rubber cement” [9:35]. It was convoluted, sure, and they didn’t end up using it, but it was inventive and the opposite of reluctant. This is also shown in Bug Busters, where Raph planned out dousing Mikey in honey to attract the oozequitoes [2:52]; Snow Day, with the idea to freeze Ghost Bear like in Jupiter Jim Pluto Vacation 4; and Raph’s Ride-Along (and also Bad Hair Day), where Mind Raph created multiple schemes to get the criminals arrested. The show wouldn’t have made Raph be so creative with his plans if they were trying to characterize him as someone who didn’t like strategizing.

So does why Raph do stupid shit sometimes where he doesn’t think things through at all? Well, even though Raph is good at strategy and enjoys doing it, it’s clear his immediate impulse is still “punch the problem in the face”. In fact, all the turtle boys contain the fascinating dichotomy of being incredibly smart in some areas, and the dumbest teenagers alive in others. Just look at Donnie. It’s also how Raph is a loving protective older brother, and the guy who shoved Leo into a wall so hard he disappeared in one frame for shits and giggles (The Mutant Menace x). None of this means that Raph is bad at strategy though.

tldr: Yeah, Raph has a lot of dumb and, frankly, insane moments in the show, but he’s still an incredible tactician who’s plans consistently saved his family and sometimes the world. He's a great strategist.

The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer

Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.

Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.

I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.

#rottmnt #rottmnt raph #raph #don't worry then he'll freak out and buy you a new one #anyway! raph rules!!!!!#and i think the movie has made some people interpret him as like the 'responsible mom' character which is a bummer #bc that's really not him at all #like this is not even NEARLY a complete list of raph's shenanigans #he's a hooligan a fool a dumbass (affectionate)#he loves big flashy exciting fights and does not spare a single thought to stealth 90% of the time #he gets distracted on missions taking selfies with pizza pigeons and wrestlers #and gets annoyed in eps like Bug Busters when leo suggests being more cautious #he would die for his brothers but also he's definitely the type to like. walk into their rooms and sit on them for fun #he values responsibility so much but also makes the most batshit decisions ever #and has probably caused the state of new york thousands of dollars in damages #and he's NOT the boys' dad jesus christ #he grows slightly more serious over the course of the series (out of stress :(()#but at his core he's just a kid who loves fighting and being a hero #and i love him so much ok!!!!!!

I honestly love the clothing styles of each of the turtles in this show and I love how these styles really incorporate their personalities as well.

Like, obviously Donnie has the best sense of style, yeah? Think that’s something pretty agreed upon here. Everything we see him put together is very meticulously crafted and clean. That goes with his personality because Donnie is a very meticulous person in general, and he knows what he likes very, very well, and knows how to flaunt it in turn. Him commenting on colors he enjoys or disapproving of outfits that the others see no problem with also shows how he just generally has an eye for this kind of thing. He doesn’t just know what looks good on himself, but also what looks good on others - and I think this ties into his love of gift giving too. Donnie also has a flair for making sure that his things have his “mark” on them, and his clothing is no exception. All that he wears and how he wears them screams “Donnie.”

Mikey is really fun because his styles are honestly a pendulum between super simplistic and incredibly out there. And often, you’re going to see a lot of color or patterns to both. And in my opinion I think that all reflects really well on Mikey’s character - he’s got a colorful personality but even more than that he’s incredible sure of who he himself is. Mikey’s style, I feel, is less what looks good as clothes and more what sparks joy in Mikey himself. His bright stickers he wears are a testament of that! He’s comfortable in his own skin and his style reflects this perfectly, whether he goes for a more out-there look or a more toned down one.

Now, for Leo. Okay, I think I’m actually in the minority here I feel because Leo’s style isn’t really that bad? Hear me out- if you actually look at what he wears, try taking out, like, one accessory. Suddenly, that outfit works! He even manages to put together many good outfits in the series, but his “bad” ones are the ones that tend to stand out, alas (just like how his mistakes tend to be big ones oop-) Basically, my personal look at him is not that he’s inept at styling at all, but that he has a “too much” gene. And like everyone else, this sense of style is completely like him, too. Going too far to impress when all he needed to do was slow it down some to think things through. (And funnily enough, a lot of his outfits take random aspects from his brothers too - “nothing without them” huh?)

For Raph, I feel bad for him since pretty much all of his clothes are inevitably going to be ripped, but he makes them work pretty much each time. Like Leo, Raph tends to go more sporty with his looks, but I also noticed that his stuff often goes in that in between of comfy, cool, and cute. His pajama suit in particular comes to mind in terms of “cute” as it’s more something you’d see younger children in rather than older kids, and I think it can be a subtle nod to the fact that for all Raph tries to seem older, he’s still just a kid too.

I could probably go on, but these are just all off the top of my head - I love how the boys’ personality’s come out in so many different ways.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #I love fashion actually #if you’re wondering where this came from it came from me watching hours of outfit creation vids #but yeah! I honestly could probably go more into it #but I’m going off my memory for the most part rip #Leo in particular makes me sad because I disagree with like 99% of the fandom about his fashion sense LOL #I don’t think it’s bad but it’s def not close to Donnie level #Donnie is his own category #Leo though he’s not just jerseys and ripped sleeves #he wears full eye makeup as a granny and kills doing it #his pirate costume was very well put together imo #even his regular weird frog like disguise is perfectly fine when you get rid of the goggles #I ALSO don’t think Raph’s style is bad either #my boy has more difficulty with clothes since he’s limited to the stretchier stuff but like #he’s got good style!!#I’m def looking more into this all than necessary but #watch me come back to this and change it like fifty times #if you’re wondering what I mean about Leo’s outfits taking from his brothers #look at Raph’s standard disguise (the one they go out to play basketball with)#ripped sleeves and a backward cap #one of Leo’s main outfits in The Clothes Don’t Fit the Turtle?#ripped sleeves and backwards cap #incedentally these borrowed aspects actually hinder his overall look!#his outfit without them is more HIM y’know? which says a lot about allll their individual styles

Mikey's first word was "Daddy," followed by about ten minutes of giggling as Splinter cried over him. It was immediately followed by "eat."

Leo's first words were: "Daddy, he doesn't like the yellow one," after Splinter dared to try and feed Donnie pineapple when the twins were three. Splinter was so flabbergasted that he took Leo's word on what Donnie liked until they were fourteen (he was never wrong, but Splinter wanted to get better at knowing his kids).

Donnie's first word was "Blue," said in the most heartbreaking whimper while he was sick and therefore separated from his brothers; Leo has never let him live it down. He was only a little over a year old, but had always been vocal about what he did and did not want.

Raph didn't speak until he was ten; his first words were "Step off, bitch!" At a stranger who tried to pick Mikey up while they were playing near the sewer grate.

#turtle tots #rottmnt #rottmnt raph #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #i love the hc that raph was delayed in speech but i also think it would be hilarious if sweet little raph the good boi of his brothers #just let out the scariest voice at some rando he thinks is going for his brother

Your turtle maybe feral, but are they “bite a bitch so hard they draw blood that they then have to spit out” feral?

#I don’t understand why this raph gets so much hate #the only thing more biting then his mouth is his insults #he is a 5 foot tall rage machine that will bite off your knee caps #yet he still has a soft spot for his brothers #what’s not to love?#he’s the epitome of that one ‘get your f dog bitch’ vine #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #2012 raph #raphael #raph #tmnt raphael #tmnt raph 2012 #tmnt raph

being an older sibling is being in constant terror that your younger siblings will hurt themselves and then realizing you are far too young yourself to come up with an effective solution

#as an older brother of two i have SO MUCH ANXIETY revolving around them hurting themselves #and often each other #my art #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #headcanon that donnie’s seen mikey go into his shell a lot because of all the loud noises in donnie’s room #because he’s usually taking apart toys or electronics and that process is LOUD #drilling and banging et cetera #did a baby mikey w/ raph piece so i figured i should do one with the disaster twins lol #i will def be drawing more of these i love sibling shenanigans so much #rottmnt #rottmnt fanart #turtle tots

When my little sisters and baby cousins ask for a lullaby, I'll most likely sing them a slowed down “yin & Yang” by Tally Hall because it's warm and nice, but “rises the moon” by Liana Flores is my personal favorite.

#thought you'd like some of raph singing his brothers to sleep #it's a day after they moved in to the new lair #raph only has two mattresses and one blanket for now but he can make it comfy #NOT TCEST BTW #raph rottmnt #leo rottmnt #mikey rottmnt #donnie rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt fanart #rises the moon #masterpiece #the first thing you'll notice about me is that i love drawing people on really soft beds

AU masterpost

Sorry for the lack of Mind' O Wave content for a bit, life got busy and I've been working on a ref and a fic for the AU, but I managed to get those doodles done!

With the mind link connecting 2003 Donny, 2012 Mikey, and Rise Raph, they get a lot of stuff from each other, be it thoughts, feelings, visions, etc. This also includes Donny's techno-geek midnight brainstorm, Mikey's craving for jellybean anchovy pizza, and Raph's love for wrestling.

Transcript and close up under the read more!

Transcript because my internet handwriting is not the best:

Doodle 1 (top left)

Rise Mikey: You ask me for a jellybean anchovy pizza again and I'll KILL YOU

Doodle 2 (top right)

Panel 1:

2012 Leo: Donnie? It's 2 AM, shouldn't you be...

Panel 2:

2012 Leo: ... Mikey???

Doodle 3 (Bottom)

2003 Raph: Hey Don, since when do you like wrestling?

2003 Donny: Oh, you know, it just came like this.

Close-up:

#mind' o wave au #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2003 #rottmnt #tmnt crossover #tmnt au #tmnt 2k3 #tmnt 2k12 #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2003 donnie #tmnt 2012 mikey #rottmnt raph #doodle #my art #I love how Donny"s techno-geek midnight brainstorm are not only canon #But if needed he will wake up his brothers for it (which is also canon)#And while Donny get some sweet siblings bonding out of the link #2012 Mikey just gets a very concerned older brother #And Rise Raph unleash Dr. Delicate Touch
