Mutant Mashup Au: Ninpo explanation

Y'all know about the power the Rise boys get once they unlock their ninpo. But in Mutant Mashup, the 2012 boys get some powers too (Draxum Clutch Tm).

Large bodies of text ahead, be warned!

At the moment, the Rise fam retains the same ninpo abilities as in canon (Red: holographic constructs, Purple: mystic tech, Blue: portals, Orange: mystic chains). If you watched the show you know that Orange (Rise Mikey) gets mystic chains and fire, but in the Au he only has his chains. A small but important change.

The 2012 boys are the Rise fam's cousins so they get ninpo too, which is more geared towards the elements. I think I'd be fun if their mystic weapon's amplified their mystic powers to dangerous levels. Draxum likely kept the weapons locked up as they were "too destructive" when compared to the Rise fam's weapons.

DaVinci's ninpo is water/air. When using his mystic weapon (a pair of tekko-kagi claws), Vin can create violent whirlwinds that can throw enemies around. These winds don't affect Vin's family unless he is trying to catch them or himself. The claws grow or shrink depending on how Vin is feeling so if he feels super angry then the claws sharpen and grow longer. Once the claws are destroyed by Shredder, Vin unlocks another aspect of his ninpo which is basically water bending. He can pressurize the water to the point it can cut through anything. When Vin combines both powers he goes full typhoon mode.

Sanzio's ninpo is fire. His mystic weapon are a pair of gauntlets and can shoot fire from his fists or even breathe fire. These flames can be all consuming and Zio can't always control them once lit, but he learns how to temper them over time. Sometimes the flames burn his family so Zio isn't too keen on using them at first, but that changes once the gauntlets are broken. After the gauntlets break, Sanzio can set himself on fire for a limited time, his tolerance builds up as he ages. More importantly, Zio has more control over what his flames burn and how strongly they do burn. (Yoshi doesn't like his ninpo unfortunately, it reminds him too much of what happened to Miwa and Tang Shen)

Niccolo's ninpo is earth. His weapon is a two sided battle axe that can "shatter the earth." (Nico tried using the mystic weapon Purple was supposed to get but it didn't work for whatever reason). If Nico hits the ground, everything starts shaking, kinda like a mini earthquake. This kicks up a lot of spikey rocks that Nico can send over to the enemy, a bit like his family's ninja stars. Due to the near permanent results of his ninpo, Nico doesn't use it all too much which irritates him. Once the axe breaks, Nico can finally do what he always does, create something new. He can still cause earthquakes and force large rocks to jutt out of the ground, but he can also reshape the earth into whatever he needs and even walk through magma, though only for a limited time and with proper mental preparation. Nico starts off by making small lab assists but as he grows, he can create huge Kaiju sized golems.

Simoni's ninpo is electricity. His mystic weapon is a scorpion chain that helps him electrocute baddies from a distance. The first time Simon used his ninpo he took out the entire city's power grid. It was fixed really quick but Simoni's electric current was way too strong to be used around machines (Nico and Purple were paranoid for weeks). Thankfully, Simon got more control over the power output once the his weapon broke. Simon can now use his ninpo to tether things together and keep them in place, a little like a spider web (Big Mama absolutely loves this). The things Simon can do are simple but versatile like creating electric ropes only he can walk on or dangle from. His ninpo can give him a little burst of speed which he exploits a lot when running away from his bros. Maybe Simon can sense things a lot faster then everyone, probably because he can feel the electricity in the air or something.

Wooooo boy, it's been a while since I've posted anything here-

Feel free to enjoy some doodles of one of the lesser known MegaMan characters from the MegaMan MegaMix manga: Piano. (Her alternate names are Tone or Clef)

She didn't really have a huge role in the manga, specifically being created just to explain stuff to the reader and the other characters in the manga. She was ultimately cut in favor of a more natural flow for the manga.

That doesn't mean she's not interesting though. In universe, Piano was built to look after Bass and make sure he stayed in line. She's like his opposite and has no combat ability of her own, instead being in control of several gadgets. Fitting, since Bass is named Forte in the MegaMix and in music Forte is opposite to Piano.

I've known about her for a while and have seen a few posts of Piano so I'd thought that I'd throw in my own doodles. As well as how in how I'd imagine her personality, inspired by @miserymet's interpretation of the character. (You should check them out, their art style is so good and their comic's really interesting so far)

So, what's Piano like? I'm thinking quiet, polite, and small. She speaks with a soft but flat voice. I also imagine she's shy too, often hiding away to tinker with her gadgets or clean something or other at the Wily Castle. I'd also think it'd be funny if she reads Wily's diary when she gets bored, so she's sneaky too.

Forte doesn't think much of her at first and Piano tolerates his attitude, but eventually they bond over making fun of Wily's poor decisions. Maybe Forte starts to care about her little by little and Piano begins to enjoy his presence more and more. They do still bicker at times, but they do form a bond.

Drew some Abel and Caine doodles. Hope y'all enjoy!

I might color in the doodle at the top for funsies.

NAH BUT LIKE-

@sm-baby HOW WERE YOU RIGHT????-

CARNIVAL AU - Theatre doodles

Sometimes I wonder what the classic era robots would think of the Four Guardians. What would the guardians think of the Light numbers? Probably a mix of awe and confusion.

Happy Anniversary FNAF

Thanks Scott!!

Did some Mutant Mashup Au doodles and kept on forgetting to put them here.

Me and @possumsarenice thought it would be funny if 2012 Raph (Sanzio) and Rise Donnie (Purple) have a "love/hate" relationship? Basically, the two have two settings, either they fight each other like feral hounds or they are each other's ride or die.

The last doodle was just me remembering how the boys call each other. The 2012 boys call their cousins their color nicknames (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange) while the Rise boys call their cousins the painter's last name (DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni).

Yoshi and Lou unknowingly named their sons the same thing (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo) so when they reunited the boys would fight over "name privileges." It got to the point where the rat dad's had to cancel name privileges and the nicknames just stuck. They still call each other by their given names but when they talk to their cousins they have to say a nickname.

They would get along well I think.

So, I started drawing the 2012 ninja turtles and realized that if the Mutant Mashup Au is a mix of both the 2012 and Rise iteration of ninja turtles, then I should probably combine their art styles when I draw them. It sounds fun but I'm not sure whether or not I should make the boys look more like the 2012 or Rise art style.

Should I give the Rise boys more chonky legs and upper arms or slim down the 2012 boys to look more human?

Then again, this is just a silly au with lots to figure out. The difference could be explained away as simply as "the 2012 boys just mutated differently" or "Draxum used a variation of the ooze when creating the Rise Boys." Both @possumsarenice and I agree that Draxum was the one to mutate both sets of Hamato's, not the 2012 Kraang, but that makes me wonder if he mutated all of them at once.

Putting a cut here in case you aren't a fan of large bodies of text.

Draxum would have no reason to capture Yoshi unless he did his research and figured out Lou had an older brother. It just so happened that Yoshi bought his turtles when Draxum went to capture him, in place of Yoshi encountering the Kraang in canon. (I think Draxum went to capture Yoshi himself and sent Huginn and Muninn to get Lou. He had little info. on what to expect from Yoshi so Draxum got pretty roughed up I think.)

Alternatively, Draxum had planned to use Yoshi as a guinea pig of sorts BEFORE he did anything to Lou and the Kraang started hunting Yoshi soon after he escaped with four freshly mutated baby turtles in tow. To someone like Draxum using Yoshi first would make sense as he was older and would be considered "less of a threat" than Lou. We all know that isn't the case but Draxum sure didn't.

If all the Hamato's mutated at once, then Yoshi and Lou would meet up a whole lot sooner and be forced to tolerate and live together like they used too. It opens the door to sooner healing and less misunderstandings because in this Au Yoshi and Lou are NOT on good terms. This is due to how they perceived each other's reaction to their mother's death.

Lou saw Yoshi still following the Hamato teachings, even though those teachings stole their mother away, and believed Yoshi was unfazed, he considered Yoshi heartless. Yoshi believed that Lou turning his back on the Hamato clan meant he turned his back on their mother and family, that's why he considered Lou a disgrace.

Lou would see his mother's death the same way he saw it in canon, an unnecessary sacrifice. (At least until he realized the great evil behind the seal was real.) Meanwhile, Yoshi would likely see his mother's death as an act of heroism. Lou resented the Hamato clan for years because the duty they carried was one that took away one of the people Lou loved most. Yoshi, on the other hand, understood the sacrifice and what it meant. He hated it, but he understood that his mother only wanted to protect her family, and the world, from the Dark Armor.

Yoshi knew that his mother's final act was one of love. Love for her sons, love for her family, love for the Earth itself.

Both learned a lesson that day. Lou learned that the burden of saving the world is one that will consume everything, leaving you with nothing but the broken pieces of a once happy life before you had the chance to really grow up. Yoshi learned that loss is a painful but necessary sacrifice to save everyone, to protect everyone. To him "it doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, what matters is that you carry it."

Remember yesterday when I said if it weren't for the colors, Pomni would actually be the first one Bill would make a deal with?

Ramblings below the cut!

I honestly really like this, but I think she looks too much like regular Pomni. I think it's the hat and colors. If I redraw this then I'd probably swap Pomni's hat w/ Bill's and add more triangles to her clothes, maybe swap out the pom poms for triangle charms.

Y'know in hindsight, Pomni and Bill use completely different shapes. Which, duh right? Pomni = circles, Bill = dorito triangle. I remember trying to make her hat be very sharp and triangular but when I did the line art it came out softer. Not a bad thing since Pomni is far more compassionate than Bill and this is a deliberate imagining of: if Bill possessed Pomni, what would he prefer she wear? Maybe I'm just being too critical, I'm not trying to draw a fusion. When I drew Bill Jax, he looked a lot like "Jax but formal," didn't even have to color the eyes. Through that lens I think I did pretty good with this drawing.
