This year's rewards badges will be #TMNT #toy themed!
Brightly colored yarn finger puppet of red-masked Raphael Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. This weird and nubby little guy is clearly off-brand and unofficial. His eyes' pupils are different sizes, and neither is looking in the same direction. He's smiling and dramatically lit.

Close up of a drawing of The Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) live action film. The image crops The Shredder so that only the upper half of his face mask, eyes, and hat are visible; he looks like he's peeking. Someone has glued googly eyes on him. They are not looking the same direction.

Announcing... TURTLE COM-MO!
(Special thanks to @kya-kyabetsu.bsky.social for the name!)

And since bsky is a pain when it comes to limit on text & pics, I recommend better viewing on Tumblr.

Otherwise, behold multiple comment replies for all the badges & information!

Meme explains the variety of genres and media and tones in the TMNT canon and fandom. Photo of three wildly differently painted beach houses: normal color house, black house, pink-and-purple house. All three are labeled, "TMNT." The meme also labels the beach, the building next door, the trees between the buildings, and a patch of weeds in the foreground as, "Also TMNT/sometimes TMNT/this TMNT too."

Around the edge in a green stripe, it reads "TurtleWrimo 2025, 20K WORDS" Inside the green circle is full color interior art from an IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Free Comic Book Day giveaway comic. Raphael (red) ninja turtle smiles with an enormous toothy grin. It's so wide, it plumps his cheeks up under his bandana and makes his wide-circle eyes into waning moons. The background is solid yellow, with comic book "beaming" rays shooting out from his head to show the power of his delight.

She's flanked on the left and right by cropped shoulders of Michelangelo and Leonardo respectively.

Forgot my streak badge!

I've invented another monk. Let me have this last one. I swear it's the last one. I can stop making monks whenever I want to. it's not a problem.
Round Badge graphic like a plastic button you would pin to your shirt or backpack. Around the edge in a green stripe, it reads "TurtleWrimo 2025, 21 DAY STREAK" Inside the green circle is full color interior art from IDW/BOOM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Mighty Morphin Power Rangers crossover comics. Art by Dan Mora. Raphael (red) leans forward with his elbow on his knee as he surveils the NYC night from the roof tops. He's heavily scarred, his scowl and white eyes very reminiscent of Batman. In the background, but mostly cropped out, is the Green Ranger.

you and me are in the same boat. I think we're only a few hundred words apart! and I get it, wanting to do things (turtlewrimo or otherwise) and just not being *able.*

But i'll tell you what I tell myself. You wrote more this month than you have in a long time. And the badges aren't going anywhere.

You got this! Take your time and care for yourself. It's not easy to write so much and so often. The fact that you've come so far with turtlewrimo is amazing in and of itself.

I had a massive drop in energy levels this last week so had to take a break on #turtlewrimo but trying to jump back in. I know I won't be able to meet my goal but that's ok! Going to buckle down and try to get as much as I can done. Feeling positive vibes!!!
