ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY is a computer error code that occurs as a result of faulty or outdated device drivers, an issue in the RAM, a virus, a malware infection, or corrupted system memory.

While in canon Kendra, Jeremy, and Jase have no last names, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles staff writer Russ Carney confirmed two times that they are nods to 2012 writers, so I took those same writer's names to give last names to their respective characters.

For the sake of this fic, this makes them:

📢 ITS HAPPENING 🤩

So I just rewatched the first episode of tmnt 2k12 and wow is it different from watching it as a kid!

Below the cut is me ranting/questioning/commenting on all the choices made 💀 (mainly splinter’s) cause I need to get this out and if anyone else wants to add on or chat with me about it, PLS DO ❤️

ok. so, when i watch 2012 and see splinter, my knee-jerk reaction to his parenting style is no. very strict, seeming overprotective and doesn't want to teach the boys anything? just let them be ignorant and alone?

but then i think about it for a minute. we know that mutants aren't accepted on the surface, and splinter's life was completely upended for the second time. he lost his wife, daughter (👀👀) and he was trying to live normally. he was coming back from getting some pets so he wouldn't be as lonely, for goodness sake. then he's mutated, (painfully from the sound of it) and he's a furry freak in a dirty alleyway with four mutated little turtles he now has to take care of.

from another episode getting into his life, if i remember correctly he does try to teach the little turtle babies about life in the city, carefully hiding from the people who wouldn't accept him. he tried to incorporate the boys into the city in any way he can. until he finally finds the lair, and they can be safe from the evil kraang dudes in suits.

so now when i think about it, i can understand him. he's hurt. he's been through multiple traumatic events that have shaped the rat he now is, and he doesn't want the same to happen to the boys. and whether or not this is acceptable, even if in the long run it's better to allow the boys to learn earlier and grow up knowing, i can understand where he's coming from.

fun kids show with giant funny turtles with ninja weapons? yeah, but also very dark and emotionally charged at times. splinter can't be perfect or right, because none of them are. and neither is the show, maybe the creators would've had a better show if they had made different decisions with the beginning plot. but we can't really ever know, because the show is the way it is, and i rather like it. even being flawed in some ways.

(i apologize for the lack of capitals/correct grammar, i have no idea where this came from)

JULES!! I loved this sm! You are so right, the image of a lonely man going to a pet store and choosing four turtles is like 🥺😢 heartbreaking!

Y’know thinking about the Kraang in human suits, trying to find Splinter and the turtles since he was accidentally mutated is something I didn’t really spend too much time thinking about! He’s being hunted! He’s trying to hide himself, the boys, as well as take care of them as best he can in this new body and new environment! So yeah, he may not have been perfect, and he may have made some questionable decisions, but I do not think Splinter is a bad character at all (just putting that out there!!)

After 15 years of staying safe, hiding from the Kraang and anyone else who has a problem with Splinter *cough* *cough* Shredder *cough* 😂 he succeeded in at least getting the boys to their teenage years! And he taught them self-defense and other ninja techniques that were invaluable to their survival on the surface and the many adventures they went on thereafter!!

Again loved your Ted talk 🥰 thanks for adding to the discussion!!!

I do agree he should've prepared them more, and I kinda realized while watching that they only got cable TV later (the space heros and anime stuff they inherited from Splinter funnily enough) plus I feel like they should've atleast known about pizza before trying it, because they knew about cake.

But as for the not going thing, Splinter has a fear of leaving the lair. It's not really directly stated, but it is acknowledged later in the series. He does overcome it when it's needed, but he still 100% prefers to stay in the lair as that's where it's safe, and utilities are easily taken care of already (he eats the algae too)

I love Splinter as a character, but he is deeply flawed (though probably more to writing issues than the character itself)

It’s been a hot minute since I watched and truthfully I don’t think I ever finished 2k12 so I’m really excited to watch it in its entirety! But I had a feeling that somewhere along the line Splinter’s reasoning for never leaving the lair would be brought up even if it’s not specifically put into dialogue! That Rat King episode for instance, 😖 his mental just breaking and screaming no (if im remembering correctly) gahhhhh just gets me!

Other things that bothered me that I forgot to mention because I boarded the Splinter train: the boys go out into NYC and there is literally NO ONE on the streets. No one peeking out their windows/doors when crazy kraang shit happens! The only people on the street were April & her dad who got kidnapped, that one pizza delivery guy, and then the kraang van driver! And those were all separate instances where it was just them and the turtles on the street basically 😂 I was like… right sure sure, I mean we ain’t in Time Square or anything so I get the little to no-foot traffic. But absolutely nothing as the fighting is going down mid street?! 💀

Then somehow at the very end of the episode, the ONE ninja star that Leo throws to stop the kraang van from getting away, gets put on the ?!news?!, and the anchor is all like, “residents reported a disturbance and the police found THIS” *insert one ninja star photo* and so 😌 logically ninjas are in NYC. Like you’ve gotta be joking— AND THAT ONE STAR IS THE REASON SHREDDER FLIES FROM TOKYO?!?!!?! I about died
