@possumsarenice Look At This-

I fully intended to just do the colors but I had too much fun shading the twinks

I thought what if MMZ in MN9 and then it snowballed into this. I like how his design came out but don't expect anything digital just yet. I've still got stuff to do.

Here's some names I think the 2012 turtle's would call their cousins. As well as what I think their age order would be

DaVinci: Blue, Little Blue, Baby Blue, Speedster, Clown, Blueberry, Red, Teddy, Reddy, Apples, Purple, Plum, Rook, Orange, Pumpkin, and Sunshine.

Sanzio: Blue, Bluey, Fruit basket, Clown, Smurf, Speedy, Red, Rad Red, Reddy, Spikes, Big guy, Purple, Twinkle toes, Booty shaker, Orange, Sunshine, Tiny, and Little man.

Niccolo: Blue, Cobalt, Glacier, Speedster, Blueberry, Red, Reddy, Firecracker, Flames, Spicy, Strawberry, Purple, Othello, Circuit, Grapes, Dragon, Orange, Citrus, Pumpkin, Zest, and Tiger.

Simoni: Blue, Big Blue, Blueberry, Jack Frost, Sonic boom, Cookie monster, Red, Rad Red, Teddy, Reddy, Firecracker, Strawberry, Hot Sauce, Boomstick, Purple, Sugar Plum, 9000, Softie, Terminator, Orange, Tiger, Fanta, Sweet n' Spicy, Good Doctor and Monarch

Okay, here's their age order for me, might get shifted in the future though.

DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

One more thing about this AU that imma do here is just call the boys using their nicknames. I just like saying DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni. I think those names are fun.

Also thought of what other fun nick names the Rise boys would give their cousins.

Blue (Rise Leo): Vinnie, Vin, Cici, Vincent, Sanni D, Zio, Zizi, Nic, Nico, Colo loco, Momo, Nini, Simon and Simo

Orange (Rise Mikey): Vinnie, Vin, Zio, Sanni, Nico, Nici, Simsim, Nini, and Momo

Purple (Rise Donnie): Vinci, Davin, Sanzio, Zio, Zizi, Niccolo, Nico, Niconacci, Simoni, Sim, Oni and Momo

Red (Rise Raph): Vin, Davi, Sanni, Zio, Nico, Nic, Simon and Momo

To the people that had the chance to read the TMNT 2012/Batman Adventures crossover comic:

Do you think Batman would adopt the turtles once he's been made aware of Master Splinter's passing?

The thought had been in my mind for the longest time and I can't help but imagine Bruce Wayne, the Batman, single handedly taking the earliest flight to New York with adoption papers in hand after seeing the messages between Donnie and Batgirl. Messages which start out lighthearted but then slowly come to a stop because the turtles are busy with the Krang and the remnants of the Foot Clan. Once Donnie finally does respond to Batgirl's messages he starts with the classic "EvEryThiNGs fiNe!" but then that slowly starts to fall apart. The Bat family are detective's, the best around at that, they're gonna figure out that something changed the last time they saw the turtles.

When I first brought up this au, I toyed with the idea that Zero was based on Roll and Protoman, I've been thinking about it a lot lately and drew up a few doodles of Roll using Zero's sprites as a reference. The irony isn't lost on me but I like em so much I just had to share.

If you're wondering why her skirt's missing, it's because Roll has her game face on in these doodles. The skirt is removable and in this au, Roll throws it off when she locks in. So far I haven't thought of when she does this, probably after Wily gets away one too many times or she's just had it with his schemes. Maybe it could be a callback to when Rock was contemplating killing Wily that one time? Only difference is putting Roll in Rock's place.

Idk some food for thought.

Anyways, I'll leave off with two photos the twins took while visiting their little brothers at work.

comic I recently finished!

Haven't mentioned that Mutant Mashup AU in a while, might as well bring something up that I've been stewing over for ever since I saw this YouTube video by skulltrot.

It's a really good analysis on Leo and why he does the things he does in the movie. It even explains a few minor details you might've missed during a first watch, as well as a few other details that are mentioned in the series.

After watching this video I've seen Rise Leo not as an overconfident teen whose goofy for personal amusement, but an insecure kid who covers up that fact by telling jokes.

I'll explain more on Blue's character in the Au under the cut so you don't have to read it if you don't want to, but just as a reminder.

2012 gang's nicknames are:

Leo = DaVinci

Raph = Sanzio

Donnie = Niccolo

Mikey = Simoni

Splinter = Yoshi

April = May

Casey has the same name.

Rise fam's nicknames are:

Raph = Red

Donnie = Purple

Leo = Blue

Mikey = Orange

Splinter = Lou

Casey = Cass

April has the same name.

Now for Blue's character. I'm gonna focus on his insecurities here, as well as a bringing up his relationship with his brothers and cousins.

In the Au, Blue lives with his brothers and lives a few tunnels away from his cousins so there's plenty of interaction between them all. However, that also means that Blue picks up on his family's talents quickly and feels very insecure by the time the Au begins. Similar to canon, Blue doesn't tell anyone about his insecurities, using jokes to hide what's going on beneath the surface. It's hard for Blue to be vulnerable, even in front of his family. This was partially influenced by this father and uncle's relationship with each other, as well as how they treat Blue himself.

Yoshi and Lou absolutely care for Blue and don't want to see him hurt, it's just that they have so many other turtles to look after that sometimes Blue gets overlooked. He's not the only one either, Purple, Sanzio, Niccolo, even Simoni get overlooked from time to time. It also doesn't help that Blue's father has a habit of ignoring his issues through TV and other distractions. That meant Blue didn't get as much emotional availability from Lou as he should've growing up. Leading to Blue's lack of communication with his father, it just feels awkward at this point because Blue doesn't know if his dad will take his issues seriously.

Yoshi was a little different as he saw Blue growing up to be just like Lou and was worried Blue would turn out that way. That's why despite both sharing a similar sense of humor and getting along well, Yoshi was harder on Blue than the rest of his nephews. That led to Blue feeling like his insecurities were a weakness he needed to fix and feeling uncomfortable bringing them up to Yoshi.

Blue also doesn't like to bring his insecurities up to his brothers.

Blue noticed Red taking care of the family alongside DaVinci when their Dad and Uncle would fight. He understood, even at a young age, that something was wrong and that Red and DaVinci were stressed out over it. That's partly why Blue doesn't want to tell Red about his issues. He feels like Red already has enough on his plate and doesn't want to add more or feel like another burden his older brother needs to shoulder. Red and Blue do still tease and prank each other, as siblings do, but when it comes to internal issues that need to be addressed, Blue hesitates.

Purple is a different story because emotions are hard for him to get right. He tries, but Blue doesn't want to make his twin feel awkward or uncomfortable if he can help it. Even if Purple can understand being overlooked sometimes by the adults in their life, Blue doesn't feel the need to explain if it means an awkward infodump.

Orange is the closest to understanding Blue but isn't fully aware of the extent of his older bros issues. Blue is fully aware of Orange wanting to help and Dr. Delicate Touch his way into solving the problem, but Blue doesn't like how pushy Orange can be. Orange has a lot of energy with a passion comparable to his cousin Sanzio, but that eagerness to help isn't what Blue wants. Especially when he wants to protect Orange and not burden him with his issues, similar to Red.

The absolute last person Blue would explain his issues to is DaVinci. While Blue looks up to his oldest cousin, he feels inferior in many ways. DaVinci is strong, confident, efficient in battle and projects and air of safety that everyone can feel just by being around him. Blue wants to be like that but feels like he can't, that he's too weak to ever achieve that level of strength. DaVinci is pretty much the object of Blue's insecurities. That's not to say they aren't close, they both love Space Heroes and spa days. They care for each other, it's just that Blue can't help but compare himself to his cousin and other family members.

Sanzio is in a weird place though. While he would absolutely relate to Blue's struggles and maybe even offer some really good advice, Blue just doesn't explain to Zio. Blue is fully aware that Purple and Zio have an agreement between them, not the specifics just that there IS an agreement, and doesn't want to mess up with what they've got going on. Eventually, Blue will learn to lean on Zio after a talk with both him and Purple.

Simoni is similar to Orange in that Blue doesn't want to bog Simon down with his issues. Simon is fully aware that Blue's got some stuff to work out and is super go with the flow about it. He's not gonna pressure Blue into explaining something he's not ready to talk about and is totally cool with providing distractions. Blue appreciates that and spends the most time with Simoni because of it. Blue likes to divert his attention whenever his self criticism, or boredom, become too much.

The only person Blue willingly explains his issues to at the beginning is his cousin Niccolo, even the ugly parts.

Nico is calm, gentle, willing to listen and not give any feedback unless asked for it. Blue doesn't want others to find the solutions for him, he wants to find them on his own. He knows his brothers mean well, but Blue feels weak when he finally gets vulnerable in their presence. Blue wants to feel in control of his issues and Nico understands that. To others, Nico's silent presence might feel like detachment, but he's always listening and that's what Blue wants.

The Hamato's hooman friends are in a funky middle.

The Jones' definitely aren't the ones Blue would go to for insecurity assistance. Him and Cass aren't close enough for Blue to ask her for help, plus I think he'd view her as friend by association. She's a little intense like Orange so that doesn't help her case. Casey may be good at keeping a secret, but that doesn't mean that he's good at keeping a secret from his friends. Blue likes his secrets kept as such. Casey Junior lands in that same boat where Blue doesn't want to burden him anymore than he already is. I mean, kid lost everything and is considered the lone survivor of a doomed future. Maybe Blue might ask if his older self had any self care tips but just very subtly.

The O'Neil's try to get him to open up in their own ways. Blue doesn't go to Kirby or Carol unfortunately because he had a hard time leaning on adults growing up. April definitely encourages him to talk to DaVinci about his issues mean while May asks him to talk to Red. Both do their best but Blue is stubborn and stagnates a lot of the time.

So I've seen like two posts about FNAF: Security Breach...but as a movie. Like those end credits in the Toy Story movie. Ngl that made me laugh so hard so i want to add some:

- Gregory called Vanny Vanessa

"You didn't see Vanessa dancing out there- oh wait"

- Moon got stuck on his wire and needs help

- Mapbot scared Freddy more than it did Gregory

- When Vanessa caught Gregory he actually fainted and she was freaked out

- Chica has gotten lost in Fazerblast way to many times

- *Roll clip of Monty dropping his glasses for the 80th time*

- "Say hello to the DJ, he is such a nice fellow!" *DJ proceeds to enter then exit the room*

- Several scenes of Gregory and Vanessa being chaotic siblings

- Cue Freddy dancing to the Chug Jug song

First ask post ever 🎉🎊

What I think about constantly is the fact that many fictional heroes both in the past and present each have varying states of psychological trauma. That line of thinking then led me to come up with a character that was basically a surprisingly chill, passive aggressive, 4th wall breaking therapist that is aware of just how much the heroes have gone through.

Like seriously, I vividly daydream about this character lecturing out of concern to characters like...idk Marinette Dupain-Cheng or hell even Leonardo from TMNT.

I also can't help but see the character as a bartender for...reasons?
