(Spoiler Warning: Smoke’s Tower Ending is discussed)
I saw Smoke’s tower ending and was surprised to see Hanzo in the new timeline, let alone as a child. Although I’m open to how the writers will handle his character, I’m kind of disappointed that they went this route. When I learned that Kuai Liang would be Scorpion in the new timeline, I expected Hanzo to either not even exist or live a nice life with Harumi and their son. Instead, Kuai Liang is married to Harumi and Hanzo is much younger than them, which is so weird. I really hoped Hanzo would have a happy life and only be involved in the games through mentions at least. Also, this decision paints Liu Kang in a bad light. It’s no secret Liu Kang made sure his allies had a good life while making some of his enemies’ lives (Shang Tsung and Quan Chi) insignificant to prevent them from turning into their past counterparts. So, it makes me wonder why Liu Kang didn’t think to give Hanzo a good life or at least watch over him. It’s shown that Hanzo is a starving orphan forced to steal for essentials. I have no doubt Liu Kang knows about Hanzo’s past since he met the older and kinder Scorpion in MK11 and Raiden has disclosed Hanzo’s past in MK 9. Plus when Liu Kang fused with the Hourglass, he most likely became aware of what happened in MK9 and MKX. He gave Shao Kahn the chance to be a better man by being the Kingdom’s general- a risk that didn’t pay off, yet didn’t give Hanzo what he always desired- his wife, son, and the Shirai-Ryu. It feels so out of character for Liu Kang to not make sure Hanzo had a good chance at life.
If I had the opportunity to write Hanzo’s character, it would’ve been very different. I would’ve made him a former Lin Kuei member(he would be 5 or more years older than Bi-Han) who held the Scorpion title until he retired to Japan- where met Harumi and had their son. Hanzo would’ve also been the one to train Kuai Liang in his fire powers in the latter’s childhood. In his honor, Kuai would take the Scorpion mantle after Hanzo retires. Hanzo could also help Kuai and Smoke form the Shirai-Ryu but Harumi helps in recruiting and training while he takes care of their young son.
Though, I still hold some faith that NRS will write the new Hanzo well. I guess I’m just disappointed because I wanted Hanzo to finally live a happy life where his family stays alive. He was one of my favorites in the MK9-MK11 era so I can’t help but feel a connection towards him.
I finally was able to write this post. Sorry if it’s a little scattered.
If you have any feedback, please write them down. I would really like to have you guys’ opinions on this.
Thank you to anyone who likes and responds! 😁💕

So, Beakley will be working for S.H.U.S.H extensively. She was married and had a child, but the relationships have soured. Her daughter and Beakley had a rough and distant relationship. Her daughter-I'll call her Rose- decided to join F.O.W.L as revenge against her mother. This broke Beakley's heart. Ten years before the show started, Rose was selected for a project called Project April. Alongside Scrooge's, Rose's DNA was used to create Webby. Rose instantly loved Webby and wanted to be a good mother. She decided to betray F.O.W.L. after she learned their plan to use the child. Rose called Beakley and told her to come stop F.O.W.L but was killed before she could tell the reason. Beakley tracks down the call signal to destroy F.O.W.L and save her daughter. She found her daughter's dead body and was willing to do anything to get revenge-even die. Before she could, Beakley found Webby and took her in, not knowing she was her biological granddaughter.
For the finale, all what happened to Webby would happen up until the interrogation. Bradford would show up and still offer telling her the truth if she helped. He revealed that he let Beakley take Webby because she was a failed experiment. The topic of Rose will come up bringing up how much she loved Webby and died for her. Webby would want to know what experiment she was made for, but Bradford told her she has to do something for him first. Webby steps into the room and the contract shows up; she takes it and desperately asked again. Bradford takes the paper and says, "You were made and abandoned for this. As a child, you failed me but now you helped me bring Scrooge's downfall. He locks her up. The reveal and the final "battle" occurs without change. Then, near the end of the episode, Webby and Scrooge talk about what happened, and she says, "Bradford said I was left behind because the contract didn't appear. What changed then?" Scrooge sweetly responds, "I don't know, but since rescuing Beakley together back then, I've seen you as family." Webby smiles and says, "Me too." This leave an open question on whether the experiment worked or was it the power of found family. Webby tells Beakley about what Bradford said and Beakley begins to cry out of knowing that, in some way, she didn’t let her daughter down
Thank you for reading! 😊💕
I’m Iffy on Zatanna’s Morally Gray Idea
I mostly have a problem with the execution of this plot line more than anything. I like heroes to be morally gray sometimes but for me to really gel with the idea, I would have to see the character struggle resorting to that risky decision.
I think seeing Zatanna constantly finding other ways to save her dad but them failing would’ve helped me feel more sympathetic towards Zatanna, and understand how desperate she is to find a solution.
Also, I would’ve done the reveal totally different(honestly I would’ve done her arc differently). Zatanna and her protégés would visit Nabu quicker than in canon, and he somehow lets her plan slip out in front of her students. They get mad but Zatanna tells them that it was not the time and the discussion will happen later.
Then, in the end, Zatanna realizes how effed her plan is and tells her students that they have a choice to say no. Zatanna would tell Mary she’s not ready while Traci and Khalid accept the deal.
Hi everyone! I'm new to Tumblr and am excited to be here. This is my Rise Leosagi fic I'm writing. It's on AO3 and is a lot of fun to write. Comment your thought on it since I want to grow as a new Rise of TMNT fanfic writer! Thank you to anyone who reads it! 😊❤️

My rankings:
Lumity:
Their relationship development was amazingly written- one of the best enemies to lovers stories. Seeing Lumity support one another and grow individually is so sweet. My favorite moment is their kiss in the S2 finale because it cemented how serious the relationship is and it was the first LGBTQ+ kiss on Disney, which is momentous in representation.
2. Huntlow:
I shipped as soon as they met each other. Willow and Hunter are such great support systems to each other- Willow helped Hunter grow as a person and Hunter sees Willow for the amazing person she is. My favorite moment with them was Hunter comforting Willow in “For the Future” because we see how much mutual care they have for each other.
3. Raeda:
Raine and Eda are so sweet together and a great team. I immediately fell in love with their dynamic and banter in Raine’s debut episode. My favorite moments are when they make music together and Raine protecting Eda from the draining spell.
4. Aladarius:
I most likely ship Aladarius because of my headcanon and the potential they have being a couple. I headcanon that Darius had a crush on Alador since their time in Hexside and was heartbroken when Alador and Odalia got married. I think Darius can bring out Alador’s confidence and self-esteem. Alador and Darius would make a really good couple.
5. Gustholomule:
I never cared for this ship until I saw fanart and rewatched scenes with them together which made me see the appeal. Their dynamic is fun so I think it can translate well to romance. I’m fine with them either being a couple or friends.
Are There Any Actors That You Want to Voice a TMNT Character?
I don’t really have that many since I never really focus on a celebrity’s voice and say, “Their voice can fit this character.”
But, if I think about it for a moment, I think Jesse McCartney(he voices Nightwing in Young Justice) would be good for Leo or Donnie since Nightwing is generally similar to them.
Ryan Potter could be a good Leo or Mikey since he’s done a fun and naive kind of character like Beast Boy from Titans.
Maybe Will Smith could be a good Bebop. 2012 Bebop had this sly, comedic attitude and I think Will Smith would do a good job.
Ron Pearlman would do really good as Bishop similar to the 2003 series. He has a sinister and calculated voice he used for Slade from Teen Titans.
Stephanie Lemelin(Artemis from Young Justice) would be a cool choice for a more tough and badass April.
I’m interested to see you guys’ choices. 😁
*If you have a specific voice your voice actor choice does, can you mention that so I can what your choice fully meant. Thanks.*
I would love to meet every voice actor in TMNT 2012, but if I had to pick the one I want to meet the most, Rob Paulsen would be my pick. I love all of Rob's voice roles like Carl from Jimmy Neutron, Peck from Back at the Barnyard, and especially Donnie. Plus, Rob is such a sweetheart and I just want to give him a big hug.
Greg Cipes is my second pick because I love Beast Boy, Mikey, and Kevin Levin.
Seth Green is my third because of Leo and Monty Monogram.
Sean Astin is last.

I finished Trese from Netflix and I adore it. The concept of using Filipino culture and mythology alongside supernatural/murder mystery. I love learning new mythology through a compelling story. The characters are great- Alexandra is a badass and the twins are lovable jokesters. I can’t say whether the Filipino representation was great or not, but I like that most of the cast was of Asian descent.
I really hope this series gets a second season because I need more content. Maybe I’ll get into the source material soon.
