"hello" i say as i slide back to this story after what seems to be about 2 years? hahah a ha h a

ok first things first (imma say all the words inside my head) i wanna apologise fjdjsj,, i'm really sorry i abandoned this thing after like, one chapter. let me give it to you straight; i wrote one chapter, tried writing the rest and (because i was like, 5 years old) gave up when i got writer's block. which is kinda shitty of me to do? i should've said something instead of disappearing. also my government blacklisted this site? lmao because of the smut and shit which is so dumb. because i was 3 years old, my ass didn't know there was such a thing called a vpn. i have been without this site for almost a year and a half? wowza.

anyway my thirst for fanfiction was quenched after i discovered ao3 (great site 10/10 still using with an account) but like,, there was so little self-indulgent fics ugh sometimes you have that need ykwim? and i forgot this place existed until like, a week ago. i moved to a new country like a month ago or something and I JUST REMEMBERED MY FIC ;-; i have missed my baby golly gosh my sweet child.

also can you believe i lost interest in tmnt for a while? last night i remembered the show and i. miss. watching. it. i stopped at season 3 i think and i found out it ended last year? i'm kinda emotional rn. 5 seasons is like,, not a lot. i'm gonna watch it again and once i've finished it, SURPRISE I'M REWRITING THIS STORY! i miss my babies, ugh i miss leo and his dorkiness gOD HIS SPACE SHOW.

i'd like to think that my writing skills have improved over the years and that's why i'm rewriting this. also the original idea for this kinda sucked? lmao i'm pretty sure when people first read this they thought it was gonna be some awesome story or something (based on the reviews i saw) but like, it really wasn't gonna be like that. it was gonna be some self-indulgent shit based on everyone taking leo (and his feelings and his leadership) for granted and stuff happens and they understand or something. i don't remember where the drafts for this are but they were really funny because of how stupid they were.

ANYWAY. new plot and new writing. i'm really hoping people still want to read this dumpster fire. i wanna watch the show and understand their characters again because it's been a while (unfortunately). and once i do, i want to write this thing again. it holds a very special place in my heart as the first thing i've ever written and published. my firstborn. pls don't spoil the rest of the show for me fjjdjs i like the element of sURPRISE.

so yeah, i'm hoping that i'll get this story up and running again in this year. hhhhhhh you don't even understand how much i miss this show gosh MY TURTLE CHILDREN I'M COMING BACK.

changing my name too because what the everloving hell was i thinking? ok bye thanks for not being upset during my absence i appreciate it because i'm fragile :') (this was a mess from start to finish sorry)
