Fun fact: This was the first time TMNT explored different body shapes and sizes. As leader, he was the most challenging. In a way he is the almost perfect, most physically athletic.

Everyone saying it’s not canon when it officially is. It’s what the creator envisioned. It’s the studio who said it isn’t. Of course you could just go with what the studio said, but to me, the actual creator of a show holds a lot more weight to me.
Retweet if you think TMNT 2012 is the best show ever, animated or otherwise.
I also love kids’ book art very much. I think this is my absolute favourite image.

You don't need sex, swearing or violence to make something adults would like to watch too. Normal kids shows are fine. All you need is an occasional adult joke, among other things.
If someone tells you to skip season 5 of TMNT 2012, here's some of what you'd be missing out on: Usagi, turtle tots (also one of the best episodes), more Raph softy, ragey Donnie committing murder, a 3 parter with brand new sets and models, turtle vampires, etc.
DO NOT SKIP
Honestly, every time Donnie is super pissed, it's always a huge treat. He has several great pissed frames here. He also bit Mikey and gave him a faceplant XD
Isn’t ‘family bonding/love’ one of the major themes in TMNT? It’s what I like in this franchise, yet isn’t it ironic there are people who insist 2012 is a hateful/abusive family, the total opposite of its main themes?
They’re a loving family ❤️
There’s so much of it ❤️
TMNT 2012 is too complex for people. They misinterpret a lot of scenes that are not remotely hard to understand. This is an example of what I am talking about:
Raph isn't a 'bully.' Donnie isn't 'too scared of him to fight back.' Ppl, stop looking for abuse that isn't there!
I need just one more Follower to reach 700! I am pleased there’s so many 2012 fans still around! It’s been years since I started tweeting about the show, and I’m still doing it!
I’ve shown the 2nd image before, but it bears repeating….these two panels give off so much sibling energy to me. It’s why I think TMNT 2012 is the best.

Not every show has DVD or BR releases, sadly. There are even shows from the 90s that never got any release, nor did they ever made it to any streaming service :/

I turned in a book report on Cujo in 3rd grade. Teacher told me I needed to re-do it with an "age appropriate" book. Came back a day later with a report on The Pokey Little Puppy. Got lunch detention.
2012 Splinter desperately wants to protect his new family by training them hard and giving them advice on how to survive.
2023 Splinter desperately wants to make his new family happy by bringing the outside world to them. It didn’t work, but he tried.
Both amazing rat dads.
Today is National Siblings Day.
TMNT 2012 has the best sibling representation. Feel free NOT to debate this with me because I am not interested.
Here are some fun sibling moments for your enjoyment.
The whole ‘TMNT 2012 Mikey is scared of Raph ‘cause Raph is mean to him’ is silly, ‘cause Mikey actually looks up to his big bro and, gasp, even saves him sometimes. Here he is looking to him for approval like a cute little brother would ❤️
(ppl says same thing about Donnie…)
I've just learned another reason ppl hate TMNT 2012 Splinter; 'trauma dumping.' WTF. Ever thought it would serve a purpose? Not only does it gives us insight into his backstory, it’s also used to teach his sons how not to make the same mistakes HE made. Do ppl not know context?
That’s an odd way to say, ‘Leo.’
(For those confused, there are some people who believes TMNT 2012 Splinter likes Leo and doesn’t give a shit about the rest)
Out of all the times characters were kicked down there, and there has been quite a few, this is the funniest because he did it to himself. Also that extreme reaction.
The whole ‘TMNT 2012 Raph is so mean to Mikey’ thing is silly when it’s Mikey who annoys/pranks/teases him the most too. That’s why they are made for each other ❤️ They have protected and saved each other several times. I love their dynamic.
As a furry, I think everything that went into 12 Raph’s model was designed for sex appeal. A lot of things that only he has, such as the cracked plastron, his lip (more human-y), his tattered tail, and even his physique, are things that ppl would find sexy.

Let’s start the day off with some tongues.
I don’t think Raph has ever done this. If he had, I would’ve taken a pic, and I don’t recall any in my vast folders of turtle pics.
The fact everything Sensei said to them helped them survive for 3+ years against really strong villains ranging from kung fu masters, to giant mutants, to aliens with advanced weaponry, is indicative how much of a damn good parent TMNT 2012 Splinter is.
Here are some BONKS everyone got with a bokken XD There weren't any clearer images of them. Leo survived, so he got a self-congratulatory 'YES!' instead.
I'm doing this for a friend because I am nice.
It's nice to know that there are people out there who likes to boil down such an in-depth character to 'simp.'
He is far more than that. Poor guy deserves some respect.
The comics may not always have the best stories, but I love how the writers understood them and kept their personalities intact. It’s just like reading an episode.
