Normally I'd Never Mention This Guy But-

Why was Shadow man so tired in that World's Unite comic?

He's so funny and for what

They would get along well I think.

There’s no way that poppy will turn evil or sacrifice herself she’s so important to the game

Again, very valid, I mean she's the namesake of the game after all.

I just wonder what'll happen to Kissy, since all we got was a loud shriek off screen. I'm hoping that they don't kill her off either and that we can rescue her in the next chapter. Ngl I hoped we could've saved DogDay too when the trailers first came out.

Chances are DaVinci or Niccolo would talk to him. Blue probably won't explain his insecurities (chances are he doesn't even realize he has them) and brush the whole event off, but he will talk about them eventually. Maybe after the Kraang Invasion? After Yoshi dies? Idk but feelings will be shared. Blue still remembers the promise.

Mutant Mashup thingy

(This has been sitting in my drafts for months rip-)

Since all the turtles and even the Splinters and Aprils grew up in a very different environment, they would obviously act a little different. So here’s my ideas on how.

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest

Oldest to youngest (as said here) DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

Both DaVinci and Red were the protectors. However, DaVinci was more offensive and Red as was more defensive. This was because Red had to worry about accidentally hurting people due to his strength and was pretty intimidating as is, but DaVinci didn’t. So DaVinci is slightly more trigger happy and Red looks for more peaceful situations. It’s not a major change, but if they meet their canon counterparts they’d quickly release the differences. This ties into Red’s mystic abilities too, as his holograms are more shield focused then in canon. Niccolo and Orange and holding their entire families together. As said here, Niccolo would help calm his siblings and cousins down when the Splinters fought, and Orange already had a complex about this in canon. Neither of them would be able to do this on their own (with how big their family is now) so they work together to keep everyone happy (even if they aren’t).

I’ve noticed the 2012 boys are big on teasing each other while the Rise boys are a lot softer to each other (minus Blue and Purple). So I’d imagine in this dynamic they’d both be in the middle ground of their canon dynamics. The Rise boys tease each other a lot more but are still softer then canon 2012, but the 2012 are softer to each other but still tease each other more then canon Rise.

Blue and Simoni and “the face team.” Which mean Blue taught Simoni some manipulation tactics. Simoni still gets tricked by 2012 Chris Bradford, but that was because he was star-struck. He’s actually a lot better at people then in canon. Also, Blue is a lot more insecure about himself because he doesn’t have his “face man” thing to himself and feels he has even less worth :(

Sanzio is slightly better at controlling his anger because Red is teaching him some things, though he’s still angry all the time. Also, he’s a little bit nicer to his little bros because they released that there’s 5 of them and one of him.

Purple also has more self worth issues then in canon because in there, he based his identity off being “the tech guy.” But here, there’s someone else that can do tech. Also, he usually gets put in the “safer” places during missions because Yoshi was overprotective of him because of his soft-shell, and all the 2012 boys (and even the Rise fam to an extent) followed. I could imagine an episode plot where he snapped and goes off to do something really dangerous to prove himself. Maybe going with the other brothers who get babied (Simoni and Orange)

Orange canonically does ballet (see the lair games ep) so I feel like I’m this AU Sanzio would be the kind of sibling/cousin-who’s-basically-a-sibling who would absolutely pummel anyone who bullies his siblings. Also I can see Orange and Simoni both doing ballet so when Simoni starts using his strings he moves around on them in a sort of “dance-y” way.

Since Lou let them sneak off to the surface before Yoshi was ready to let them go, I’d imagine DaVinci has an absolutely unreal amount of “Space Heroes” merch.

Since Simoni can be repelled by Poka, I can imagine Purple has an entire library of “Music genres my siblings/cousins-who-are-basically-siblings don’t like.” The labs were filled with Poka after Simoni activated his mystic powers

I'm no Picasso but this made me laugh

I think my Abel would try to talk it out if he can. Though if he figures out that your Able had tortured the main cast, all bets are off. My version of Abel does feel conflicted about your Caine and would understand why your Able is lashing out like this, but he doesn't like that the humans are the ones that ultimately suffer for it.

Just as a side note, my version of Caine adores his little brother Abel so if he figures out what your Caine did then it's Chihuahua fight time.

The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....

With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...

Animal Tamer!!

Abel!

Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.

There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.

This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.

Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.

Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).

Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!

I'll be honest, I forgot I drew these for a hot minute.

These were the last doodles from my old sketchbook and were mainly about the blue boi's.

I like the last doodle best. I think it shows that Blue wants to tell DaVinci something important, but deliberately holds himself back. There's nothing nefarious or worrying going on, just Blue being hesitant at being vulnerable. DaVinci's also got no eyes there cause he can't really see what's wrong.

More musings below the cut if you wanna read:

We all know Rise Leo is an absolute pro at masking his true feelings, which applies to Blue in this Au. While an amazing tactic in battle, it's kinda hard for his fam to get a clear understanding of what he wants or needs. That's why it takes a while for DaVinci to realize that Blue feels very insecure about his place in the family. I mean why wouldn't he be?

Red and Zio are the muscle, Purple and Nico are the brains, Orange and Simoni are the hearts. Even DaVinci has a place. He's the leader. The one who watches over everyone else, the one whose supposed to guide the team. Blue doesn't see himself as a leader, believing that his family cousin is doing just fine without him and doesn't need the help when that couldn't be further from the truth.

I don't think DaVinci realizes any of this and only has the ongoing sense that something is wrong. (Big brother sense???). He's low-key kinda frustrated cause he can't figure out what's wrong. It also sucks that DaVinci has a hard time asking for help despite leading his fam, he just doesn't want to make anyone worry. (He and Red are people pleasers in that way).

Idk, the point of this is that Blue doesn't feel like he's good enough for his fam, meanwhile DaVinci can tell that something's off and wants to help but can't really do so at the moment.

Would you mayhaps, partake in a small bundle of sillay laughter headcanons concerning X and his kids?

X: doesn't laugh nearly as much as he used to but when he does, he needs to hold onto something to keep upright. I'm talkin' full side gripping, rolling on the floor kinda laugh. Would not be surprised if he tears up at some point on his way down.

Harpuia: tries to hide his laugh a lot of the time but when he caves he's just as bad as X if not worse. If he laughs hard enough, bro will literally start squawking like a seagull. Regularly though, he only lets out a few chuckles and a more or less normal laugh if he's comfortable.

Leviathan: she does her little giggles from time to time, but if you genuinely make her laugh she starts squeaking like a dolphin. Eventually she'll calm down and sound at least a little normal, but just know that it'll be a while before that happens.

Fefnir: has the ugliest laugh you will ever hear in your life and it does not take a lot of effort to reach. He loves laughing, even if he sounds like a broken down car engine on its last legs. Probably joins X on the ground if he wasn't there already.

Phantom: is the hardest to make laugh but when he does he wheezes like a tea kettle. It gets even funnier because he gets weirdly shy about it? Like he starts covering his face when he starts laughing which only makes him laugh more. He doesn't like people hearing his wheezing but he's just a wee lad.
