My inspiration. Pure and simple ################################################# Icon drawn by http://playbunny.tumblr.com #################################################
Can you tell us more about Yuya? Like his personality and stuff, please?
Sure. Most of it is already written on his Toyhouse so I will just copy paste it in here.
Name - Kaoru Yuyake Alias Yuya Gender - Agender (uses He/Him) Orientation - aroace Species - Shiruku Dragon [closed species for lore] MBTI - ENTJ Voice claim Micah Solusod Yuya is, when around strangers, a rather short-tempered, superficially cold-hearted, nihilistic, cynical and vengeful loner. Yet also highly intelligent and cunning. He despises placing trust in others, pursues his own goals with little regard for anyone else, and holds deep contempt for love, affection, physical contact, and the concept of "family and friends." Often appearing empty, bored, irritated, or outright angry. When pushed to his limits, he becomes stoic, irrational, and dangerously single-minded. Heâs prone to self-destructive behavior if it means achieving victory since he'd rather die than accept defeat and having to live knowing he failed.
Despite his harsh demeanor, Yuya has a deep love for music, often expressing his suppressed emotions through electric guitar and drums. He enjoys good food, tinkering with- and riding his motorcycle and for some reason has a profound fascination with astronomy. He prefers solitude, often retreating to serene locations like Zen gardens, ponds, or quiet shrines. Everywhere with no other people around where he also seems much more calm and neutral.
Likes - playing electric guitar and drums, riding his bike, autumn, rain, hot springs, good food, tako-yaki, night / starry sky, space related stuff
Dislikes - trusting anyone, crowds, children/babies, boredom, couples that do pda, people who think they are and act "cute", being underestimated, physical touch, the fact that he can't fly anymore.
Yuya was born with brown hair adorning the upper half of his head, but due to trauma and never ending stress, he suffers from "Marie Antoinette Syndrome", which caused his hair to turn white. He can only sleep with a nightlight as he fears complete darkness. Restless leg syndrom when surrounded by strangers. Apart from the fact that he is very averse to physical contact and doesn't let anyone get close to him anyway, his biggest trigger is his back. When someone touches his scars in a fight for example, his "common sense" completely fails and he attacks with even more force through a red veil. His wings were torn from his back by someone he thought he could trust. He is aware that most people see him as a bad person and he doesn't care. At least not if he doesn't like someone. Deep down, he longs to be a part of something, to trust someone, and to see the good in life. However, he doesn't know how to do that and keeps everything and everyone at a safe distance.
Basically he is a lizard with massive trust/anger/parental issues
Here a few more visuals (art by me)
Yes, he can be red themed or purple. Red was my first choice when I created him but I'm currently kinda stuck/enjoying him more in purple.
For his Rottmnt au, I unfortunately don't yet have a plausible idea how he got his turtle form. I drew him as one because I wanted to give my sona a turtle form, but he's actually a dragon yokai and looks the same in rottmnt as he does in normal form. I still want to find a reason for him to look turtle too hh maybe a mystic disguise? Idk. However, I'd rather not talk about his lore right now, as it could be very triggering.. But character-wise it is the same. But for the future version, he becomes more calm and caring for the ones he cares about.

I'm not sure if I will ever be able to draw a whole comic and my english isn't good enough to write down a fic so this will be all for now, until I might draw a comic. But no promises. I'm always open to answer any unclear things/ questions about anything.

Tumblr has got to be one of the webbed sites of all time because sometimes you log on and it seems like the entire site has gotten really into stick figure juggling and you just kind of have to shrug and accept that that's part of the furniture now

my time has come... if anyone's interested (and if you allow me to be a bit nerdy) - it's quite a popular typeface amongst things that use cosmic or technologies thematics? as far as i can tell it traces back to mangavox odyssey's logo (the first gaming console, 1972)
but nowadays you can meet that font (or those that are really similar to it) almost everywhere kjakawjhf maybe it's a little tribute? here are some more examples with year marks:
Anyway, IdentifyFont lists some similar ones here:
http://www.identifont.com/show?3ZY
You can look up any as "font name downoad free" and odds are you'll find it, usually from DaFont
But also, looking for similar fonts and for the origin of it, I found the same one but titled Checkbook, which I found odd
Download free checkbook font, view its character map and generate text-based images or logos with checkbook font online.
Lo and Behold! They're basically all based on an old font called E13B used for checkbooks since the 50's!
https://www.digitalcheck.com/micr-weird-font-magnetic-printing/
E13B is just for MICR (magnetic ink character recognition), so it's just numbers, so letters vary on the inspired fonts.

reblogging this addition so that more people will see this... ty for informing us about the origins of this thing! it was a mystery for me for quite a while
(Please note: Post will be updated as I find more resources and think of more strategies)
(Please do not re-use gif without permissionâŚunless itâs to save RiseâŚ)
Mutant May
YOU can watch Season 1 and Season 2 of RISE right HERE!
So Iâve seen a a lot of people still wondering if Rise of the TMNT can be saved.
Thereâs is a lot of hope, especially with the boom of fans joining the fandom after the movie dropped last year, people making more art on tumblr, twitter, tik tok, and so on. But also a a lot of doubt, especially after JJ Conwayâs post on twitter.
BUTâŚI still think there is a chanceâŚa GOOD chance. WITH ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW! Why?
We live in the internet. Information is more then easy to get out now thanks to social media. There is all kinds of ways to get the word out to people. Letâs abuse it. đ
Fans have brought back shows before.
We need a MAJOR push through social media, more fans, more art, itâs up to usâŚand I think we can do it!
Fans convinced Netflix to bring Sense8 back for a finale
Fans convinced fox to bring back âFuturamaâ after it was cancelled in 1999.
Hey Arnold got the jungle movie thirteen years after the show was cancelled
Animaniacs got a 3 season revival 22 years after it stopped airing.
Brooklyn 99 was cancelled in 2018, and the fans convinced NBC to pick up the series.
Arrested Development was canceled after 3 seasons, but AFTER it was cancelled, it grew an audience and they made it come back!
Fans saved the original Star Trek in the 60s with letters.
They did it. Why canât we?
So what can we do?
WellâŚ
1. PETITIONS TO SAVE RISE that we can all signâŚ
PETITION 1 (The strongest one, but the more petitions signed, the better!)
PETITION 2
PETITION 3
PETITION 4 (save the content that was cut/we missed)
PETITION 5! (Make an ROTTMNT season 3)
2. Pester Nickelodeon and Netflix on social media (THE BIG ONE YâALL, THIS IS THE MOST DIRECT AND IMPORTANT)
Be polite, be non-toxic (donât be rude or mean, the boys would not want that, and the Nick/Netflix wonât listen), but be LOUD, PASSIONATE, AND ANNOYING! Ask for DVDs of the show/movie, and then BUY THOSE DVDs!
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THE FULL ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW TO COME BACK, INCLUDING ANDY SARIANO AND ANT WARD.
Sample DM/Letter (but try to come up with your own. Too many repeats and they will ignore it)
âDear Nickelodeon/Netflix/Viacom, I canât tell you how much Rise means to me, and I really love that you put the show on air. But it was not fair that the show was cancelled before it got the chance to reach the audience it deserved, only because of a few bad reviews and a lack of advertising. The show is great, thereâs tons of fans, tons of art, and people, including me, want so much more! Please bring it back! We want the original crew to come, Flying Bark, for the show to get itâs full second season restored, and itâs five season run like it was originally intended. People hated the 2012 TMNT when it came out, but it got itâs chance and now there are people that love it. Why canât Rise of the TMNT have the same? Itâs clear that the creators love their work and thereâs a growing fan base for it. Rise just came out at the wrong time, but it deserves it chance to shine.â
The more personal you made the letter, the more you say what Rise means to you, the better.
As for me? Iâm sending them a picture of Pizza Pigeon with the #wewantmoreriseoftheTMNT and #saverottmnt
Request movies/seasons on Netflix.
Ask for Rise Season 2, another season, another movie. Just keep asking!
Nickelodeonâs facebook page (Look, I know that facebook is a relic at this point, but the more people go there and PESTER Nickelodeon, the better!)
Riseâs facebook page
Leave good reviews. Share. Leave TONS of comments
Nickelodeonâs instagram
Nickelodeonâs Twitter page (treat carefully, there be Musks out thereâŚonly use if you are over 18)
Nickelodeonâs TikTok
Niceklodeonâs letter inbox
Nickelodeon, 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036
Rugrats was brought back because fans bombarded Nickelodeon with letters saying they wanted it back. Might as well cover our bases. This one is a BIG DEAL!
Nickelodeonâs Corporate Number
1-212-846-2543 Call them! Annoy them! Ask how we can get their attention! Tell them why you love this show! Why it deserves to come back.
Contact Paramount
Paramounts Request form

The more followers the better.
Netflixâs instagram
Netflixâs facebook
Netflixâs Twitter (Treat carefully. There be MUSKs out thereâŚonly use if you are over 18)
If anyone has any more, any deeper more direct points of contact, or more ideas, please share!
3. Leave good reviews for Rise anywhere and raise awareness everywhere you can!
One of the key reasons Rise did not do too well because it was unfairly review bombed before people could give it a chanceâŚso get out there on tik tok, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and ESPECIALLY youtube.
Make reviews! Analysis! JOKES! Support other content creators! When the Rise Reanimated video comes out, share it like no tomorrow!
No one paid attention when How to Train Your Dragon came out, but word of mouth and people saying it was good, made it the success it was. Letâs repeat history!
Anytime there is NEW RISE CONTENT on Nickelodeonâs YouTube channel, watch it, share, spread it.
Share this post on social media, across various sites, use the information here to spread awareness about how people can help and what they can do. Be relentless! (Like Leo in Lair Games)
Ask influencers to review, react, and give RISE a chance without placing judgement.
4. Make. ART!
Draw, Write, TWEET, Make MERCH, Sell MERCH, Make Tik Toks, Videos on YouTube, posts on instagram, discord, what pad, demanding more Rise, spreading the word, and just showing how much you love this show! Not only will it attract attention, but itâs also good for all of us. There will be more Rise content either way.
Make sure to @ nickelodeon on ALL of your art! SPAM THEM! ANNOY THEM! DROWN THEM IN LOVE FOR THIS SHOW! Demand DVDâs and Blue rays of the SHOW AND THE MOVIE! Itâs not fair that we canât have access to it!
PLAY THIS GAME!
If you see official Rise MERCH in the while, buy it if you can! Also support as many rise content creators as you can. If you canât draw? Write! If you canât create! Like! Share! Comment! Support each other!
Rise April ART Challenge
Keep in mindâŚthere WILL be pushback.
Companies as big as Nickelodeon and Viacom care about their bottom line: $$$âŚmoney. BUT pushback, whether they are taking down your videos on Tik Tok, striking artists on twitter, mean that theyâre taking NOTICE. So donât. Give. UP!
One last thing to remember: DO NOT harass fans for enjoying other versions of TMNT
Even though Rise is the first and only TMNT I have ever loved, I donât believe in shaming other fans for looking forward to, or enjoying other TMNT series. Gatekeeping like that was what stopped Rise from (heh) Rising as high as it should have. All Rise fans are welcome, and all TMNT fans are welcome. Rise deserves to reach more fans, it deserves another season, and it does not need to knock down other TMNT series to do it. Show them your love and your need for more Rise, without making other TMNT fans feel unwelcome.
Share, spread the word, give it your best shot! A village can move MOUNTAINS! SO letâs do it.
So that in the near futureâŚwe can MAKE THIS JOKE!
Signal boost! Please read if you want to save ROTTMNT!
Resources!
Q & A:
Can we still make and post Rise content until then? YES! As long as we flood the internet with as many posts as possible on August 16 and 17. Make sure to stockpile and then release all your posts into the wild!
What else can I do that would help Riseâs chances? Stream the movie and the show on those two days. Having the viewership suddenly increase on Paramount and Netflix would also greatly increase its chances! ALSO! Like and support as much Rise content/posts on that day! Every little bit counts! Even if you canât draw, write, or create, you can ALWAYS like, reblog, retweet, and share!
âBack to Normalâ, Part 1 of 4. Original idea from @eternalglitchâs fic, âLike Father, Like Sonâ. This is a spin-off comic of potential future events, so hope yâall enjoy!

Deep Dive: Rise of the TMNT Donatello's Bad Boy Persona, His Cute, But Mean Type, and Why He is None of These Things
I made this presentation to delve into my take on Rise Donnie!
It was a power point, but I'm going to break it down here. I do want to preserve the first slide though because...
Did you know Black dahlia's aren't actually black? They're very dark red and in flower language they represent dishonesty!
Apropos, let's get into it...
Donnie is a Bad Liar
We see this throughout the show
âNo? No⌠Of course I did⌠n't.â
"Uh, nothing. Just having a typical normal mystic free day."
"We are just typical, normal humans who got lost in the middle of our normal, everyday human lives. Nailed it."
"Oh man. Uh. This hurts me. Uh. I'm very sad?"
He has all the characteristics of a terrible liar. He sweats, his pitch warbles, his eyes dart, ect, everything you would expect.
Sarcasm! The Perfect Cover?
When Donnie does go for the use of sarcasm, he almost always points it out.
"I feel better already," he said without a hint of sarcasm."
"Oh, sure. Let me just load my tap-into-every-security-camera-in-New-York app. I'm sorry if that sounded like sarcasm, it wasn't. I am in."
Point Out the Obvious Much
However, when he doesn't point out the sarcasm, he also can't help but make mention of the oxymoron. We see this a lot, especially in Donnie vs. Witch Town.
"Oh yes very cool says Donnie as he quietly lets something go."
"Ooh, fireworks. Science never would have thought of something it was originally inventor of."
So basically, if Donnie tries to lie; he gives himself away. If Donnie tries to fudge the truth; he's compelled to make note of it.
I bring this all up to specifically tackle this sentence:
âSo unfair. Although it is a boost for my emotionally unavailable bad boy image. âYâello.ââ
Why do I do so? Let me remind you of my first slide...
But how can that be? We just established that he's a bad liar. In the 'bad boy' line, he's not falling for any of his tells. He's body language gives no indication of lying. He doesn't make any note of sarcasm. No one after this line makes a face or corrects Donnie and he doesn't point out any discrepancies.
How could this be a lie?
Because Donnie himself doesn't know it's a lie.
Let Me Take You Back
Things I Did Unironically as a Teenager
Added Japanese honorifics to the end of my friends nicknames (-san, -chan, -kun)
Had my friends help me wrap myself up in caution tape for my birthday, but told people they made me
Wore a dog collar with a dog tag that had my name in Romanji on it
Had screen names like RubyBlueSango62 and blahweeblah626
But Thatâs Just Personal Experience!
Things Donnie has Unironically as a Teenager
"Ah, yes, so in this case a game of bask-eh-ball."
"Prepare to eateth thy words."
"Oh, hey guys. Whatâs the haps? Huh? Oh, oh this? I didnât realize I had it on. This is my sweet new purple satin jacket- Got it from being a bit of a tech wiz. Purple Dragons. Members only. No big deal. Mm-hm. Well, you better grab some toast, fellas, 'cause you are all jelly!"
âIt's Bootyyyshakker9000. Capital B and three Ys in booty.â
I believe it's a universal experience for teenagers to push boundaries. For so long, most parents decide everything for you. With hormones and growth, you want to experiment, but since autonomy is new, you try to break from the mold and do it uniquely. Anything that is outside your norm, especially things that swing wildly from what you once new seems especially exciting. From embellishing speech, to wearing specific clothing items, and even your first screen name, you don't know boundaries! It may be 'cringe' in the future, but when you first do it, it seems like the coolest thing ever! It's something that wholly represents you. This online space you. This you that is ungoverned! I'm an only child so I can't imagine, but I bet you especially want to do this when you have siblings. Where the shame in that?
I mean... Kat Haynes agrees with me on this...
Low Empathy
Now to get a little more serious. Alexithymia is a term that describes those who have difficulty feeling emotions. While not always associated with autism, it is more common in individuals with it. About 1 in 5 people who have autism also have alexithymia.
As already stated, it is clear the Donnie suffers from alexithymia. Most Donatello-centric conflicts in Rise have nothing to do with Donnie being emotionless and instead often deal with him lashing out due to his confusion or insecurities. We see this a lot especially in Witch Town where he is grappling with himself the entire episode. He's insecure about how he doesn't understand mysticism and he doesn't know how to process it or his place on the team. He's not emotionless, he's insecure when he doesn't understand something.
"Yes, feelings. Hot, cold, sleepy, hungryâŚ"
"I don't normally feel things, but that one got through!"
Emotions on his Metaphorical Sleeve
Nothing about alexithymia says that you don't feel emotions. Instead, it's characterized by not understanding them. Donnie feels his emotions big and large just like Mikey does and especially if something is important to him, you'll see those reactions dialed up to eleven.
All Talk
While many think of the classic "semi-lethal" line and the "Speak for yourself" when Mikey says they aren't savages in regard to Donnie, he's not really the bad boy he plays himself up to be. When the theatrics are set aside, most of Donnieâs snap judgements are the altruistic kind or he thoughtfully plans out ways to not only take care of his family, but actively ensure their safety (to varying degrees of success, but that's not what we're saying here):
created devices which both counteracted his brother's flaws because they were getting them hurt
Used himself as a shield for Mikey on multiple occasionsÂ
Risks his own safety and bodily harm especially in Turtle-dega Nights: The Ballad of Rat Man and Breaking Purple
Builds Escape pods for everyoneÂ
Enters a sensory nightmare for the sake of the world
Often asks, especially Raph, if he's okay and looks out for the oldest brother
Yet the Presentation Continues?
Why yes, because there is another line of Donnie's that I want to tackle that I believe falls exactly in line with the 'bad boy image' one...
"Oh, youâre so cute, but so mean. Why do I always go for your type?"
You know what I'm about to posit again...
Insecure
As touched on previously, Donnie is insecure. He's insecure about his emotions. He's insecure about his place on the team. He's insecure about anything he doesn't understand and his insecurities are exceedingly personal in nature because he ties them intrinsically to his personality.
"The real thing is much more personal and thoughtful, and I really hope you like it, âcause if you donât I will just be crushed!"
"Thisâll teach you to compliment my work and give me my first positive reinforcement from a parent aged adult, ever!"
Speaking of parent aged adults... i wonder where this could stem from...
Role Model
Who do all the turtles model themselves after, but their own father? Whether they knew it or not, Lou Jitsu was someone they all strived to be like. They commited to learning all the lines from his movies. They fought like him outside of the training course Splinter sets them on. Heck, Donnie takes his hero worship so far that his character defining brows are exactly Lou Jitsu's! Babies start learning how to establish social and emotional relationships around 18 months. We have Splinter, a despondent, but loving care giver who unfortunately did not give Donnie the validation he craved. This manifests in his insecurities where he bends over backwards to get the attention he craves. He wants to be seen, again compounded by having three rowdy mutant-powered brothers, and so he ends up tying his worth into his ability.
Now, while for a majority of the series, the turtles don't know about Splinter's past or that he dated Big Mama, but it wasn't as if Splinter hid that part of himself away so obviously. In fact, because he himself is still mourning his lost humanity, he ends up feeding his son's a hardy diet of his life's existence. The boys are secondarily raised by Lou Jitsu movies in place where Splinter is not always present. Obviously, Lou Jitsu seemingly disappears, but Splinter's feelings on the matter don't. He openly still cares about Big Mama in the present and this I don't think it's a stretch to say that he would let these feelings leak in a similar way to how he presents Lou Jitsu in the boys lives. Big Mama is a attractive, albeit manipulative woman. This is awfully close to a little line someone says, especially when we consider that he models himself after this man.
Also, if we're taking models into account. Something we know for a fact shapes teenagers. Something we know for a fact that Donnie does. Something that is equally canonized in the show, then we have to talk about.
Donnieâs True Canonical Idol
That's right. You know her. You love her. You believe that Donnie is a thigh man because of this Lass' existence. Donnie says flat out that Atomic Lass is his childhood idol. He goes to great lengths to dance with her, smashing Leo out of the way. He then even goes so far as to ask if her and Atomic Lad have split up because his intention to date her is so clear. Now she was obviously a mutant in a costume, but that didn't matter because he loves Atomic Lass that much and Atomic Lass?
She's a heroine.
Only cute and mean in the context of the episode, this is not the Lass he fell in love with. The Lass he loves is a comic book hero that travels the universe doing good.
Also....
Ron Corcillo Agrees With Me
A staff writer on Rise, I apologize I can't show the origin tweet because it was deleted, but it was a dual question that asked both about the Turtles meeting Spider-man and about Donnie's preference. Now you could say he's forgotten a line that may not be as important to him, but doesn't that in and of itself say something? It says that it could have been a one-off joke or that it wasn't something that was necessarily intrinsic to the character.
To Recap:
Donnie doesnât always know himself
Donnie is a cringey teen
Donnie is insecure
Donnie has difficulty understanding emotions and himself
Donnie isnât actually an 'emotionally unavailable bad boy'
Donnie doesnât actually like the âmeanâ type
