Reblogging for personal future reference....
Not necessarily triggered by separation anxiety like Raph, but is more like a survival mode in an unfamiliar environment?
I'd argue that Donnie experienced something of a Savage Mode during that episode when they were in the woods where he was acting like a feral creature of the forest and built that treehouse. I think in his Savage Mode, Donnie's gets hyper-aware and his brain kicks into overdrive, and I've always sort of seen him as the family's substantial provider - his high income from selling tech (he literally has a patented company - Genius Built), the Rise Lair looking surprisingly modern and comfortable given their circumstances - hence the treehouse. Even in his 'savage mode', Donnie thought of shelter and facilities first. Also, his homicidal urges would likely increase tenfold against threats.
With Leo, I'd like to think that his Savage Mood is more akin to ruthless, calculating strategist. He's a cunning bastard but usually loud and flamboyant, which would make it all the more unsettling if Savage Leo went quiet yet that sense of cunning and strategic mastermind was still present, and since he's in survival mode that means he's absolutely ruthless to any threats that may harm him and his family.
Mikey with Dr Delicate Touch as a survival mechanism would be deadly, but it'd be a lot more eerie if his Savage Mood maintained his cheerful dissonance yet had Dr Delicate Touch's abrasive and merciless behaviour. Killing with a smile, basically. He's tiny but strong, quick and resourceful as heck. Savage Mickey would be running around scaring people and wrecking havoc like a giggling gremlin.
Now take everything I just said, imagine it's post-Kraang invasion and put them into a crossover with another TMNT iteration. Just one of them alone would be a force to reckon with, as seen by Savage Raph, but all of them together, directly post-invasion?
Unfamiliar, potentially hostile environment? Check.
Hurt brothers? Check.
Entering Savage Mode? Yes.
[Also friendly reminder that Rise turtles were made intentionally by a then-villain for the purpose of destroying humanity(?) (Draxum does hate humans and why else would he want to create 'the strongest warriors'?)
Plus, they're dumb teenagers. The turtles definitely have a few moral screws loose]
Which means that the turtles from that dimension would have to deal with 4 feral, overprotective teenagers with overpowered mystic abilities in survival mode whose instincts are perceiving nearly every moving thing as a threat and telling them to ELIMINATE.
Beautiful!

Buddy really liked his friends. They were fun, and always fixed him up when he got torn up. They were great!
Sometimes they got torn up too. But it was different than when he was ripped. A bit of tape and paper and he was fine, but his friends didnât work like that. Â
They leaked when they got a tare, apparently it was called âbleeding,â and they needed to wait a long time to get better. Thankfully Blue-Friend was very good at fixing human rips and holes, they also were harder to rip them than Buddy.
But there was another thing that was different.

Agent 64 has been doing reconnaissance. for of the human world, and of the human family unit known as the âOâNeils,â for a few months now. And it had much to report to the Council of Heads.Â
For starters, the human city of âNew Yorkâ was much too loud for any truly restful nap, and itâ appears that humans are at least partly nocturnal because the city is just as loud at night. Thankfully, the human known as âAprilâ has been setting up ben for The Agent in a quieter location. Â
The human April has also been the one to care for Agent 64, she has also given it the code name âMayhemâ and has been an excellent asset for Agent 64 in its reconnaissance. Even if she must leave for her human education most days-Â
âAgent 64,â One of the Council members interrupted the report Mayhem was giving. âWhile we are all glad that you are enjoying your time on this... âreconnaissance mission,â Iâm afraid that the council and I are questioning whether this is strictly necessary.âÂ
Of course, it is necessary. Humans have been a threat to yoaki kind before, and it is important to be aware of all threats.Â
âWell yes, but-âÂ
Very well then. Now that the council and Agent Mayhem have reached an agreement, it could continue with its report. It had several pages on human food, partially which to avoid and which to steal if you ever got the chance. It also wanted to discuss the magic humans could do by rubbing their fingers through its hair.Â

The meeting lasted two more hours.

Thank you for reading. Let me know if there is anything I should work on.
Thank you to @sariphantom for hosting the Rise August Challenge, which this is inspired by.
@nickelodeon Please save Rise.
(no blackmail though, kiddies. letâs be civilized savages. đ)
Lets. D0. This.
(Please note: Post will be updated as I find more resources and think of more strategies)
Thereâs is a lot of hope, especially with the boom of fans joining the fandom after the movie dropped last year, people making more art on tumblr, twitter, tik tok, and so on. But also a a lot of doubt, especially after JJ Conwayâs post on twitter.
We live in the internet. Information is more then easy to get out now thanks to social media. There is all kinds of ways to get the word out to people. Letâs abuse it. đ
Fans have brought back shows before.
We need a MAJOR push through social media, more fans, more art, itâs up to usâŚand I think we can do it!
Fans convinced Netflix to bring Sense8 back for a finale
Fans convinced fox to bring back âFuturamaâ after it was cancelled in 1999.
Hey Arnold got the jungle movie thirteen years after the show was cancelled
Animaniacs got a 3 season revival 22 years after it stopped airing.
Brooklyn 99 was cancelled in 2018, and the fans convinced NBC to pick up the series.
Arrested Development was canceled after 3 seasons, but AFTER it was cancelled, it grew an audience and they made it come back!
Fans saved the original Star Trek in the 60s with letters.
They did it. Why canât we?
PETITION 1 (The strongest one, but the more petitions signed, the better!)
PETITION 2
PETITION 3
PETITION 4 (save the content that was cut/we missed)
PETITION 5! (Make an ROTTMNT season 3)
Be polite, be non-toxic (donât be rude or mean, the boys would not want that, and the Nick/Netflix wonât listen), but be LOUD, PASSIONATE, AND ANNOYING! Ask for DVDs of the show/movie, and then BUY THOSE DVDs!
Sample DM/Letter (but try to come up with your own. Too many repeats and they will ignore it)
âDear Nickelodeon/Netflix/Viacom, I canât tell you how much Rise means to me, and I really love that you put the show on air. But it was not fair that the show was cancelled before it got the chance to reach the audience it deserved, only because of a few bad reviews and a lack of advertising. The show is great, thereâs tons of fans, tons of art, and people, including me, want so much more! Please bring it back! We want the original crew to come, Flying Bark, for the show to get itâs full second season restored, and itâs five season run like it was originally intended. People hated the 2012 TMNT when it came out, but it got itâs chance and now there are people that love it. Why canât Rise of the TMNT have the same? Itâs clear that the creators love their work and thereâs a growing fan base for it. Rise just came out at the wrong time, but it deserves it chance to shine.â
The more personal you made the letter, the more you say what Rise means to you, the better.
As for me? Iâm sending them a picture of Pizza Pigeon with the #wewantmoreriseoftheTMNT and #saverottmnt
Request movies/seasons on Netflix.
Ask for Rise Season 2, another season, another movie. Just keep asking!

One of the key reasons Rise did not do too well because it was unfairly review bombed before people could give it a chanceâŚso get out there on tik tok, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and ESPECIALLY youtube.
Make reviews! Analysis! JOKES! Support other content creators! When the Rise Reanimated video comes out, share it like no tomorrow!
No one paid attention when How to Train Your Dragon came out, but word of mouth and people saying it was good, made it the success it was. Letâs repeat history!
Anytime there is NEW RISE CONTENT on Nickelodeonâs YouTube channel, watch it, share, spread it.
Share this post on social media, across various sites, use the information here to spread awareness about how people can help and what they can do. Be relentless! (Like Leo in Lair Games)
Ask influencers to review, react, and give RISE a chance without placing judgement.
Draw, Write, TWEET, Make MERCH, Sell MERCH, Make Tik Toks, Videos on YouTube, posts on instagram, discord, what pad, demanding more Rise, spreading the word, and just showing how much you love this show! Not only will it attract attention, but itâs also good for all of us. There will be more Rise content either way.
PLAY THIS GAME!
If you see official Rise MERCH in the while, buy it if you can! Also support as many rise content creators as you can. If you canât draw? Write! If you canât create! Like! Share! Comment! Support each other!
Companies as big as Nickelodeon and Viacom care about their bottom line: $$$âŚmoney. BUT pushback, whether they are taking down your videos on Tik Tok, striking artists on twitter, mean that theyâre taking NOTICE. So donât. Give. UP!
Even though Rise is the first and only TMNT I have ever loved, I donât believe in shaming other fans for looking forward to, or enjoying other TMNT series. Gatekeeping like that was what stopped Rise from (heh) Rising as high as it should have. All Rise fans are welcome, and all TMNT fans are welcome. Rise deserves to reach more fans, it deserves another season, and it does not need to knock down other TMNT series to do it. Show them your love and your need for more Rise, without making other TMNT fans feel unwelcome.
Image ID: Image is a low-resolution screenshot from Rise of the TMNT movie. It takes place during the sequence where the turtles try and fail to interrogate Casey Jones Junior. It depicts Donnie lying comically on the floor, seemingly unconscious after accidentally activating Juniorâs grappling hook and being knocked out by it. End ID.
salutations fellow turtle analysts! I am currently (very slowly) working on a fanfic that takes place immediately after [ROTTMNT MOVIE SPOILERS!] Leo gets rescued and, although I know itâs largely unnecessary, I wanted to be as accurate as possible about the various injuries everyone had sustained in the movie. for this, I have gone through the movie yet again and wrote down all the notable occasions of the main crew getting hit or being visibly injured and/or in pain for unclear reasons.
some clarifications and warnings before I jump into the readmore
1. this log does not contain potential injuries sustained during the first fight with the Krang, EXCEPT for Raph. my reasoning: everyone but Raph got to go home in the escape pods and had a chance to recover somewhat. I think itâs best demonstrated by Splinter - he was majorly hurt during the fight, but seemed to be doing well when Leo and the others left to look for Raph. it couldâve been done to ease on the pressure, for comedic effect, it could just be that the escape pods provide some sort of first aid OR he simply had enough time to recover on his own. and while I donât think itâs sufficient enough evidence, I choose to believe everyone but Raph did a âresetâ so to speak in that scene. if you have counter-arguments regarding this, feel free to dm me about it and Iâll see if I agree and whether I should amend my statement!
2. I tried to keep my notes purely observational in nature, so in some cases I do not state specifically that there is an injury present, but rather describe the characterâs expression or gestures and what they might imply (such as, someone holding onto their head or the glowing cracks caused by Mikeyâs gateway)
3. feel free to dm me or reply to this post if you think I missed anything! as Iâve said, this log is incomplete, simply because Iâm just one guy and can only notice so much on my own. although I donât promise to amend this post in every case
4. my notes contain some light swearing and take on a more conversational tone in some parts
5. I mean this goes without saying, but there are descriptions of physical injuries, sometimes near-fatal. so take that into account if you decide to read through
6. slightly off-topic, but if there is something wrong with how I did the image IDâs or if there are general issues with accessibility, please let me know! i donât know if iâll be able to fix all of my errors, because I spent the entire day working on this post instead of preparing for my entrance exams, but Iâd like to at least try
with all that out of the way, I present to you: The (Incomplete) Injury Log of the Rise of the TMNT Movie! (under the cut because it is ridiculously long)
Image ID: Image is a high-resolution screenshot from Rise of the TMNT movie. It depicts, from left to right, Leo, Mikey, Raph, and Donnie looking at the photoraph that Casey Jones Junior had brought from the future. The Key is drawn on the flip-side of the photograph, but the turtles havenât seen it just yet. Mikey and Donnie are peaking at it from behind Raphâs back and Leo is standing at a slight distance from the three of them. End ID.

Based on the Rise August Challenge by @sariphantom Thank you for Hosting this Challenge.
Mad Dogs: Draxum ponders over why his creations would use the term âMad Dogsâ to identify themselves. He sees why. (BAMF Turtle Brothers, Draxum trying his best)
Disaster Twins: Donnie and Leo like to show their love through gifts. (Fluff, Angst, Gifts)
 Dr. Delicate Touch: How did Mikey become Dr. Delicate Touch. (Turtle Tots)
 Yokai: Donnie and his brother werenât humans. So, he was excited to discover that there was a whole city of people like them.  Except that it turns out they arenât Yokai either.
 Mayhem: Agent 64 knows that their mission is over. That the council would want them back to continue their work elsewhere. So, they gave themselves a new mission: to spy and report on human activity.
Cassandra Jones:Â Cassandra Jones had loved the Foot Clan, the Clan just hadnât loved her back.
Senor Hueso:Â The hidden city was aware of the invasion but didnât know how it ended. Senor Hueso finds out when the turtles come to eat.
Big Mama:Â Leo is trapped with Raph by Big Mama (Whump)
Kimono:Â Ralph wears a kimono; it feels strangely right.
Pizza: Mikey tries to make pizza from scratch. It... doesn't really work out.
April OâNeil: Itâs hard to believe that April is human sometimes, even she sometimes questions it. (BAMF April)
Cassy Jr.: Cassy Jr has a panic attack. Raph helps. (Angst)
 Cannonball: Cannonball Day ends with Mikey having his arm in a cast. (Hurt/Comfort, Broken Bones)
 Purple Dragons: Donnie was not happy that the Purple Dragons had made him almost destroy his brothers. But they were fine in the end, so no harm, no foul. That didn't mean they werenât still on thin ice with him, then they decided to do the incredibly stupid thing of risking his sonâs AIâs life. They weren't going to know what hit them.
Invention: Donnie has never been the safest in his lab. He regrets that now more than ever, as his newest invention begins to malfunction.
Hidden City:Â The Hidden City is a weird place. so, when something weirder comes along they notice it. And rumors are a thing no matter where you live.
Warren Stone:Â Warren Stone is not the most intimidating figure, but he'll be damned if the relaxing date he had planned for him and his boyfriend was to be interrupted by anything.
Lou Jitsu:Â Splinter finds an old Lou Jitsu Movie, and he takes it home. He never meant for his boys to find it. (Fluff, Angst, Tots)
Snow Day: Mikey isn't the best at dealing with low temperatures. His brothers must deal with the aftermath. (Hurt/Comfort, Whump)
Sleepover:Â Everyone needs some comfort after the invasion, and since Leo can't be moved from the Med Bay, they'll have to make do. (Hurt/Comfort)
Mrs. Cuddles: How did Raph become afraid of Mrs. Cuddles?
Hypno: It turns out that Leo and Hypno have a lot in common. So, when they're not trying to beat the living daylights out of each other, they have a lot to talk about.
Turtle Tots: Turtle brothers have always been trouble magnets, which hadn't been great when they were younger. There was a reason Donnie invented his battle shell.
Rise: The Hamato children remember what it was like when they awoke their Ninpo.
@nickelodeon please bring back Rise!
Edwin keeps thinking he's back in Hell, and all Charles can do is be there for him.
Well...
There is one more thing, but Edwin isn't going to like it.
-
Charles would do anything for his best mate. Including, it turns out, selling his soul.
I am a girl. I am a girl because everyone my whole life has told me so. I am a girl because I wear skirts and dresses, because I like talking about boys with other girls. I am a girl because I wear bras, and need tampons, and need to shave my legs every week. I am a silly younger sister, and a caring older sister. I am a girl because my body chose to be a girl, and I love being one.
But I want to be a boy. I want to be muscular and strong, and to have a flat chest. I want to shop in the men's section for button downs, and shorts with large pockets. I want someone to look at me and think "He's so handsome." I want to own Nerf guns, and climb trees while scraping my knees. I want to be a mischievous little brother, or protective older one. I want to be a boy. But I am not. Because I am a girl.
Sometimes I want to be a mix of the two. I want to be a boy who wears skirts and high heels, and doesn't feel like any less of a man. I want to be a girl who intimidates and works long days to provide for her family, and who is still seen as a woman. I want to go a long time without washing my hair or shaving, and still be called Miss in the grocery store. I want to wear makeup and curl my hair, and still be told what a fine young man I am. But I cannot. Because I am just a girl.
Sometimes, when I am alone, I will take off my clothes and look in the mirror. At my body, who chose to be a girl. (Though I do not hate it because of that choice. It did not know that the soul that lived inside of it would not match.) And I will say to myself "I am a girl", and for that second I will be. Then I will say I am a boy, and I will become one for that moment. Sometimes I will say " I am a boy and a girl." and I can be both. Other times I will say "I am just a person." And my concept of gender will fade for that moment.
But after, the words will fade and I'll put my clothes back on. And I will be just a girl again. Not because I chose to, but because that is what I have been told my whole life.
I am a girl because everyone has told me so, and they will never see me as anyone else.
(This is my experience as a multi-gendered individual. I do not speak for anyone in the community except myself. People have different experiences with gender and sexuality. Nothing is universal. If you want to understand someone, ask about their own experiences. Don't presume. Make sure to take care of yourself.)
Hey, Rise fans!!! Please go comment on this video asking for a Rise movie review.
They have a large platform, so we can get more people into the fandom and more people to ask @nickelodeon to bring it back!!
You Can Call Me Glad She/He, Bisexual, Bigender, Autistic, I write Fanfiction.
