Send Help Please, I Need Therapy

She smells like alcohol wipes and cheap perfume

My rottmnt hot take is that Raph is more interesting than his brothers in terms of angst. He's got anger issues, he's got eldest daughter syndrome, and he's scared of himself. He doesn't really have anybody to rely on because his relationships are never expanded upon in canon unless he's jumping off a fucking cliff. Speaking of which, he jumps off a fucking cliff. He gets possessed by an alien that completely strips him of his autonomy. He attacks his brothers because of it. Also, he gets the role of leader abruptly yanked from his fingers. Don't you think there'd be a lot of issues coming with that?

Casey: Do not lie to me, Lou Jitsu! I know you're here to stop my world takeover.

Splinter: World takeover?

Casey: YES!

Splinter: ... As Grandma CJ?

Alot of times when I picture the Turtles moving about, whether just doing some parkour around New York, playing around or in the middle of a fight, I just get caught on maneuverability.

Do they move like they have a back brace, or can they twist their upper body? Are some of their movement limited to like a doll with bending knees and elbows, or do they have more articulation?

How much of some of their Movement focused on arm and leg articulation? Like when leaning to the side how much do they shift their weight/center of gravity to lean at certain angles?

I at least blame rottmnt for some of this confusion since I remember them twisting at the waist, hunching over over, and not like a body turn or bending at the waist, their shell flexes when they move which it really shouldn't.

Rise Donnienis even more confusing, because is his softshell more flexible or is it just as still, because it's still a big piece of bone under that leathery skin.
