Hey Cheesecicles! this is a continuation of my last random book! It will feature TMNT, headcanons, covers, Gacha Club stuff and lots more random stuff that I may talk about! It will have dark and triggering stuff at times so be careful.
Hey Cheesecicles!! So I just realized something and I'm going to talk about it! Are you ready?!
Have you ever noticed how Splinter and Kirby from TMNT 2012 are really similar?
Now, before you say "How the shell are they similar?!"
Well, let me explain!! I have proof!
Think about it...
Let's dive deep into these characters!
Family life: Both characters began the series/early life with a loving family! Kirby had his unnamed wife and April and Splinter had Tang Shen and Miwa! Look at these!
These are their family photos, look at them and compare them! Can you kinda see how similar they are?

Sure, one is in black and white and one is color, but see how similar they are? Both photos feature the fathers on the left hand side, the daughter in the middle and the wife on the right!
And yes, one is more serious and one is more lighthearted! But, unless this is how family photos always are, look at how similar they are!
Now, think about this...
Both Kirby and Splinter suffered the tragic loss of their wives, both taken by evil beings...
Tang Shen was killed by Shredder and Mrs. O' Neil was taken and killed by the Kraang...isn't that a bit deja du? Both mothers were taken by evil...
Both characters also watched their wives die right in front of them...that has to have left some sort of mark on them...
And, right after their wives were killed, both fathers fled their hometowns and left to live a better life...which again, didn't end well...
Kirby moved from New Hampton to New York and Splinter moved from Japan to New York! Hmm, interesting! Both sought sanctuary in the same location! And remember, they haven't even met at this point!
Both Kirby and Splinter were also mutated! Kirby was mutated twice, unfortunately but at first, he was a bat! And Splinter was transformed into a rat!
So let's see what we have so far: Similar family photos, loss of wives, both moved to same location and both suffered mutations in accidents!
But hold on, I'm not done yet!
Both fathers started off with one daughter! Kirby had April and Splinter had Miwa! Both characters were also seperated from their daughters! Let me explain....
Miwa was obviously kidnapped so that's why she was taken from Splinter, and April was separated from her father several times when he was taken by the Kraang and the pair spent several months away from each other...
Both characters are also incredibly intelligent! That's a no brainier, no need to explain that! Both characters are also possibly suffering from PTSD!
Okay, Kirby definitely has PTSD! Splinter hmm....maybe? But if he did have PTSD in the show, I think he would have hidden it really well!
Let's dive deeper into these characters and take a look at everything they've been through!
Splinter: Lost his wife and presumably his daughter, moved to New York, got mutated, spent years alone in the sewers with his sons, was mind controlled several times, was injured and almost killed several times, saw his daughter almost get killed, was thrown into a storm drain almost drowned, almost lost his sons a few times, faced off against Shredder, and was...killed by Shredder...but let's just forget that last part...!
Kirby: His wife went missing when she was pregnant, they were later attacked in their own home by Kraang and Kirby had to watch his wife get taken away from him, turned paranoid and anxious over time, was kidnapped, knocked out and held prisoner, was kidnapped again, suffered mutation which is said to have turned him a little insane, was mutated a second time and separated from his daughter for some time, and was mind controlled by the Kraang when he was kidnapped and thrown into dimension x as a mutated Kraang prisoner!
Wow, that was a whole lot of angst! Ouch! I'm not sure who has the saddest backstory here, I think it's a tie because seriously, these characters went through some serious stuff!
If you look at what these two hand experienced, you can see that they went through similar stuff! Both were mind controlled and captured which has made them kind of paranoid!
And, both are very overprotective of their daughters! This is self explanatory, no need to explain there! Both Kirby and Splinter tend to be overly cautious, a tad bit overprotective, a bit defensive when their daughters/sons are in danger, and both are against the Kraang for what they've done to them!
Now, let's recap!
Both Kirby and Splinter have similar family photos, loss of wives and watched them die, both moved to same location, both suffered mutations, both suffer PTSD, paranoia and age overprotective, both have daughters, both have intelligence, both were mind controlled and both have history with the Kraang/other evil characters!
So, there we have it! See how similar they are now? It could just w a stream of coincidences or maybe deja vu...we may never know!
I still think these two are very similar! Hmm wonder if that was done on purpose...
Well, I hope you enjoyed this!
As you can tell, I'm obsessed with these characters!
