As a kid, I adored the 2012 teenage mutant ninja turtles (TMNT). It got really weird (well, weird-er) after season three, but I was a dedicated fan who stuck with it. Even when they went to space, which was.... stupid. When the creators slowly stopped making episodes because they just didn't know what to do anymore, I got super upset, but I let it be. In sixth grade (somewhere at the beginning of it) I had worn a TMNT shirt to school, and in my seventh hour, one of the popular girls turned around and saw me in it. She gasped and said, "Is that a TMNT shirt?"

Thinking she was a fan herself, I beamed and said, "Yeah! Mikey's my favorite. He's super cool!"

But then she started laughing at me, and got the entire class to laugh at me as well. I had never worn a TMNT shirt after that, and gave all of mine away. That's the last time I ever spoke about the show to anyone but my sister because I was afraid of being made fun of again.

Recently, though, I found a website that has a whole bunch of cartoons on it, and searched up teenage mutant ninja turtles, and there it was. I started getting back into it, and OH MY GOSH THE NOSTALGIA! It makes me smile every single time I see the characters, and it just makes me happy. I keep getting memories of being at my old house, eating mom's homemade pizza at the table as we watched the show from the TV we had tilted at just the right angle to face us. And I also keep remembering all the things Aidan would repeat over and over again because he thought it was funny. Geez, the memories!

But anyway, sorry for the strange backstory, but here's the art I just finished. (Sorry if it's pixilated, my art app sucks),

So.... yee. Ima go to bed. It's 11:34 ._.
