#shell talk

aeHey y’all! Here’s the deal, our amazing turtle family is chock full of fan artists, fan writers, cosplayers, mutuals, shit-poster’s, content creators, and just a lovely array of people from all walks of life who love and appreciate all things TMNT.

I’m pleased to announce that I have a large project that I will soon be embarking on. This project will touch down on several topics and discussions based on and around everyone’s favorite green boys.

The project will address things like content-creator interviews, (constructive) fandom discussions, sketches (of the acting variety,) in-depth character analysis, Q&A’s, Fandom News, Comic/Cartoon/Movie/Game reviews, Polls, addressing fandom discourse, fan content shout outs and highlights, TMNT mutual OC and muse appreciation, NSFW hour, and more! Oh, and did I mention that it will be almost entirely from a female-base introspect?! 

What is this project, you ask? It’s a Vlog-cast!

Clearly, said project is still in the “early development” stage, so there’s still a lot that needs to be done before the premier; but once everything is up and running, I will post an episode schedule for your convenience. If all goes as planned, a new vlog-cast episode should air at least once a week, with each episode ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. Each episode will consist of a few or more segments dedicated to each topic, and each topic will be selected from the aforementioned category list above and below. 

All episodes (when released) will be posted to my secondary blog that is solely dedicated to the show. The blog in question will be made public and available for viewing as soon as it’s finished being completed. I will make a post on my main linking it to the new page as soon as it’s up.

Here’s where YOU come in:

This vlog-cast is intended to cater to our very tight-knit, turtle tumblr fam (try saying that ten times fast lol,) but I also want it to appeal to the casual fan. This means that I’m going to attempt to make this endeavor as interactive as possible.

That being said...this show needs things to talk about!!

I really want this vlog-cast to cover topics that you, the viewer, are actually interested in. There isn’t much that I’m not willing to talk about, but the dream behind this show is to have it almost entirely made up of fan-suggested content. With that in mind, I am reaching out to all of you (mutuals and casual fans alike) and inquiring as to what you’d like to see in upcoming vlog-cast episodes! 

Below I’ve compiled a list of suggestions and idea’s that have already been brought to my attention and will possibly used as vlog-cast topics in the future. Give them a looksie, and if you’re feeling inspired or if there’s a topic you’d like to see discussed on the show, drop me a suggestion in my ask box. 

-Segment Categories-

Fandom Discussions (generic fan topics)

Comic/Cartoon/Movie/Game Reviews

Character Discussions and Analysis (a segment where we take a good look at the characters we love and what sets them apart)

Fandom News (a short bit on official canon news)

Polls

Acknowledging and Addressing Fandom Discourse (a segment that will go over problems and topics centered around the fandom’s more aggressive discussions)

Blog Highlights and Shout Outs (a segment where we introduce new up-and-coming TMNT blogs)

TMNT Mutual OC and Muse Appreciation (a segment where we pick a TMNT mutual blog and talk about their OC or muse)

Fan-Content Creator Interviews (a segment that specializes in face-to-face interviews, featuring your favorite content creators!)

NSFW Hour (a special segment that will be introduced with an age warning and tagged as nsfw)

Anon Asks (a segment where I read anonymous asks on the show)

and Q&A’s (send in a question about anything and I’ll answer it on the show)

That’s it turtle fam! Go ahead and take a look at the categories and send in your suggestions and asks if you have them. I’ll post regular production updates and when the new blog is up and running, I’ll announce it on my main. Until then, I will tag all updates as “Shell Talk.”

In the meantime, feel free to tag a friend! I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

LOL oh I wish, but no. The vlog cast is based on the fandom, fan works, and the creators of said fan content. I will occasionally do interviews with well known fan artists and writers, as well as the occasional tiktok sketch. The only official TMNT content I will be putting out will be in the form of a News report that I will research and source myself.
