Reworked designs and concepts of my au 'rottmnt 20s'
This au will depict stories and concepts that happen to the turtles a year after the invasion up until their 20s, the current designs are subject to change depending on what happens to them thru the stories, take them as sort of starting off designs for the au!
all art related to it will still be tagged with #rottmnt20s and ill link everything in this post!
the reason most anti bullying psa's completely fail is because they fail to identify why people bully others, and fail to identify that kids actually do internalize oppressive structures REALLY early on. white kids understand that racialized kids are easy targets, and white teachers either fail to catch racism or are racist themselves. non-disabled kids understand that disabilities are easy to pick on, kids recognize the sissy archetype very early on, boys internalize that girls are lesser than them, kids notice they can take advantage of autistic behavior, and it flies under the radar cause teachers offer little to no support to marginalized kids or outright victim blame them. "ignoring bullies" is a model that assumes bullies just want attention. we should instead assume bullies are taking advantage of others.
"can a town itself be cursed" and then it turns out that none of the horrors are even tied to the town. this could've happened anywhere. we don't dive in to the culture of the town perpetuating the horrors or the fact that there is literally a physical dark reflection of this perfect smalltown that does not accept those who don't conform. girl whatever
