Got Up Early Today, Figured I'd Post A Doodle

I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in theaters last week and I loved it. I also saw Wade adopting Shadow.

I fucking love that idea but I love Rachel and Randall adopting Shadow even more.

I actually CAN'T unthink it now.

Just image: Maddie's badass sister who wasn't too fond alien hedgehogs know lives with one. Not just any alien hedgehog, but an edgy one.

Rachel: "Shadow! Why are flames painted on my car!?"

Shadow: "SHIT-"

Rachel: "GET OVER HERE!"

Randall: "God I love than woman. Also good luck man."

Jojo: "I warned you!"

I told you. It's pretty crazy. Anyway, these are almost every character that has ever interacted with the turtles whether significantly or not. Now that I'm looking at the list, I'm really blown away by how different these interactions are. It's awesome! Seriously, it looks like the the only things that stayed the same was the turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shredder, and Karai. The Kraang too but I'll talk about that in a second.

In the Au, Stockman might've gone to the store Stockboy works at and chatted about machines and whatnot. Tang Shen and Gram Gram Karai would also have gotten along pretty well I think (they share the same voice actor too so that's a nice touch). I don't think Draxum would've worked together with Shredder. Saki tends to boss others around and Draxum's pride wouldn't have liked that. It's possible that Shredder tricked Draxum into wearing the armor, but the chance of finally gaining the power necessary to achieve his goal would've been too good to pass up. Saki isn't above using enhancers as a last resort. He would've worn the Dark Armor on his own and become the 'Super' Shredder. One last thing to note is that technically speaking and looking back at Rise canon, the Hamato clan originally was a part of the foot clan. It's weird right?? The split happened when the leader of the Foot clan at the time wore the Dark Armor and went on a rampage. He had done so with the best of intentions but he couldn't control the armor's need to destroy. The man (who happens to also be called Oroku Saki, might name change in this au) had a daughter whose name was Karai. She would go on to create the Hamato clan and seal away the Shredder and herself. That's what happens in this Au at least and aligns closely with canon for the most part. 2012 didn't have much lore when it comes to the Hamato clan, aside from what happened to Tang Shen, so that's why I chose Rise canon as a building point.

Now the Krang is in a weird spot. In canon the 2012 Kraang are brainwashed by Kraang Prime with only a few that managed to break free of his control, calling themselves Utrom. Rise canon sees something similar to this in that the Krang are invaders that can take control of both machines and organic beings. Rise fans also know that Krang are actually the reason for Yokai in the first place through the Empyrean they brought and that they created the Dark Armor. In terms of the Au, the 2012 Kraang only want to free Krang Prime which is Rise Krang. (Brother and Sister Krang are also there but we don't see a lot of love for them so.) There were a few 2012 Kraang that decided to rebel and called themselves the Utrom. The creation of Yokai through the Empyrean and the banishment of Krang Prime and his siblings happened long ago, just like Rise canon.

No one really knows who sealed them away, time had eroded the knowledge away to the point of meaninglessness. There are definitely several legends about it that try to explain what exactly happened but it's never explained. Maybe it was the Utrom trying to atone for the sins of their past, or maybe, just maybe, it was a group of great warriors?

Me posting at 3am because I drank a large cup of Dr. Pepper from Cinemark:

Ya see this?

Swap out the Sanses and replace them with the Mutant Mashup Boys. Particularly, Killer Sans and Nightmare Sans. Swap them with Blue and Purple.

Blue has no ADHD meds, imagine the chaos-, Purple went to Sanzio's room probably.

I'm having regrets🎶

And here, we have the lovely parents.....

......totally confused about how this even happened

My thoughts about the kid are below the cut if you wanna read

I'll be honest, I never gave em a name so if you're reading this feel free to just come up with one in the comments or something.

Aside from that, I did try to keep some things in mind when I drew them. I wanted to use triangles to make up the entire body but I thought it looked off and ended up harnessing Jax's twink energy. In hindsight I could've given the kid yellow ears and be done w/ it, but I couldn't resist reopening old wounds for good ol' Billy. Sometimes kids adopt traits from their grandparents and I wanted to reference Bill's parents in some way. Kinda makes me wonder if Bill would even accept this kid. Allow me to go on a little tangent if you please.

The creator of Gravity Falls himself answered that Bill's character is that of a spoiled kid that never grew up and that's completely true, but there's something deeper going on. Bill's immaturity stems from a deeply traumatic experience: destroying his own universe. We don't know specifically how or why he did it, but it still happened, and while Bill plays it off as "liberating" the flat minds of the people of his flat world in the show, we can see in his book that Bill regrets what he did. The benevolent God of Gravity Falls, The Axolotl, confirms it: "Saw his own dimension burn/Misses home but can't return." Bill even calls himself a monster in when we read his book, one that would eat Ford alive.

How does this relate to Bill's immaturity? Bill lives in denial. He can't face the reality that he killed everyone he knew and loved, so he tries to drown out their screams with unrestrained chaos. He needs to be distracted so he doesn't have to think about them anymore. Bill doesn't want to grow up, because that would mean acknowledging that he did and still does awful things to those around him. @praisetheaxolotl goes into better detail about Bill and his issues, if you're a Gravity Falls fan then you should take a look at their stuff I think they're awesome.

Back to the beginning, what does all this mean for the kid? Well, Bill probably isn't gonna care too much for their health or mental state. He may try to encourage them act as he does. Uncaring of others and disregarding guilt or remorse in favor of "fun." Honestly, Jax may do the same though I can't be absolutely sure of that. We don't have much on Jax's character when compared to Bill.

Man, it really is hard to make an interesting character with no trauma whatsoever. Guess that'll be something for me to try in the future.

....I drew a Bill Jax fankid....

Y'all know the cardboard cutouts in Poppy Playtime?

I like to think that they're a small glimpse in those characters personalities, and what they would've been like if we'd been able to interact with them in-game. The cutouts also seem to indicate the sanity level of each Smiling Critter.

This'll be a long one, I'll see you at the end of you wanna read!

Spoilers:

Anyway, that means Bubba Bubbafant would've been outwardly friendly, yet still resentful of the player. He also might've been losing his sanity quickly, probably due to CatNap's gas.

"Hey! I remember you!.....An elephant always remembers!.......Want to know what I remember about you?........*Devolves into hysterical laughter/screams/glitches.*"

Had he been in the game as a Bigger Body experiment, I doubt he would go out of his way to help. He might've just hidden himself away like Kissy and Poppy, or fully lost it before he could try to help the player and got killed off.

Next is Kickin' Chicken. He's different in that he seems like he would've provided encouragement to the player, maybe even try and protect them.

"Wanna go outside and hang out?.... I've never been outside before.........Will you come with me? I'm scared.......Here, I'll step out first......*screams/glitches.*"

He also seems to have been killed off early, maybe he was even the first Critter to be killed. (He's embracing his inner Chica now-). I say this because, aside from DogDay, Kickin' Chicken seems the most sane in comparison to all the Critters.

CatNap's cut out doesn't have much other than breathing noises and snores that devolve into glitches.

Picky Piggy sounds sane, but I think she probably ate some of the other Critters. Probably Bubba Bubbafant, Kickin' Chicken, and Crafty Corn. If she could interact with the player, I think she'd be friendly at first before showing her true colors.

"Roast beef? Delicious!......Grilled chicken? Down the hatch!......Seared Elephant! Yum!......Flayed Unicorn? Mmmmm!.......Still hungry.....Hey, what do ya say you and I be friends?"

She definitely wouldn't have been helpful, and would've absolutely tried to eat the player.

I think Hoppy Hopscotch could've tried to help as a Bigger Body experiment, maybe a little pushy and impatient towards the player. Probably because she's desperate to escape.

"Wanna try hopping to the moon with me?.....On three with me!....1, 2, 3!...Heh, didn't get very far, did we?.....Listen, this won't stop until we make it to the moon!.....1, 2- No,no, don't look at your feet! None of that matters! Again! Again!.....Jump! JUUUU- *glitches out*"

She seemed to have a good heart and wanted to help but was likely taken out while escaping. I'd call her sane enough to be trusted, just desperate.

DogDay is certified best boy and definitely would've wanted to help you, even at the cost of his life/freedom. He knows this is a terrible place to be in and wants the player to leave as soon as possible.

"Go, go! As far as you can!......Why are you just standing there?.....You can't be here, you can't stay......*screams/glitches.*"

He knows he can't leave and encouraged the player go. He sounds sad when he speaks. Would likely be the last Critter to stick by the players side no matter what.

Crafty Corn up next! She seems very focused on painting and almost definitely killed someone because she was out of red.

"Pass me the blue please!.....Thanks! Now can you give me some red?.....Out? But we can't be out..... You're hiding more red from me......I know you are.....GIVE IT HERE *glitchy screams*

Yeah, I wouldn't really trust her. She'd be fine by herself or if the player gives her all the materials she asks for, but Crafty would've probably gotten agitated and attacked quickly.

Finally, Bobby Bearhug! She comes across as super loving, but also clingy and desperate for an escape. Sounding a little unhinged at times. If the player could've interacted with her, she might've clung to them, possibly even protected them if they convinced her that she could go with them.

"I love you to the moon and back!..... I'm crazy about you!.....I'm lost without you.....I've been lost a long time......Please, take me with you this time?.....You won't leave me, will you?!."

She sounds like she's lonely and craves companionship. Her cutout is actually the only one that doesn't end in glitches or screams so I think the player could've trusted her. She might've had a fragile mental state, but I don't think she would've tried to kill you.

Thanks for reading til the end! Stay safe!

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.

Does anybody headcanon that Mikey or Leo from ROTTMNT sometimes mix up their words or just forget specific words that they have to then translate to Raph and Donnie what the word is?

Like Leo will ask for Raph to pass over the syrup but can't remember the name so he calls it, "waffle water." Or when Mikey hands Donnie his mug he forgets the word coffee and ends up calling it "bean juice."

Creetur

She and Ragatha are the mom friends

New video that talks about the merch for The Amazing Digital Circus just came out-

https://youtu.be/FkXhKu80CWU?si=79rtSyV8P1qAl5D1

One scene in it also reminded me of this doodle I drew a while ago-

Surprise doodles I forgot to post!

Glad you like it!!!!!

This isn't the official timeline but boy howdy does it get the angst flowing. I've got a general idea on how Blue would act after everything's said and done. Sad cat hours for a long time for the poor lad. Doesn't get better since his relationship with Niccolo is strained after everything in this timeline. For as forgiving as Nico can be, he lost his everything. His father, his brother's, his cousins, his lab, even his shell was taken from him. While he never lashes out at Blue, Nico has a hard time NOT blaming his cousin for this entire situation.

In the meantime, Nico just helps Sanzio remember as much as he can. Shows his elder brother photos, tells him stories, even gives him his sai in the hopes that maybe the memories will come flooding back.

It's a good distraction and Orange is all for a distraction, at least until Blue is ready to look at his cousins again without retreating into his shell.

I made the grave mistake of looking up what Epic the Musical was on YouTube and now I don't know peace-

That led me to listening to Survive, a song from The Cyclops Saga by Jeorge Rivera-Herrans, here's the link on Spotify:

It's so unbelievably good that I daydreamt an entire separate timeline for the Mutant Mashup AU based on this that I lovingly refer to as, the Painful Timeline.

Like I could vividly imagine DaVinci starting the song via declaration of war against either Krang Prime (Rise Krang) or a Krang infested, Dark Armor welding super Shredder. Blue would be the one who sings the battle commands in the middle of the song. By the end, DaVinci dies with the rest of the turtles get picked off one by one, leaving Blue, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Orange left to try and fight.

If they manage to get away (Blue used his portals) I imagine Sanzio lost his memory during the altercation, just like he did during the Mutant Apocalypse in canon. Niccolo would definitely need to build a new shell for himself, as a reference to the IDW comics. Blue definitely lost his arm for very obvious reasons. Orange is the least physically hurt by the enemy (y'know, baby privileges) but he does unlock more of his mystic abilities.

The rest of the fam is up in the air but here's what I got. Lou and April live but May dies, or at the very least isn't an ally because she was engineered by the Kraang themselves to be a weapon. Casey and CJ survived, Cass didn't make it and got overrun by the Kraang.

Somehow, someway they throw Krang Prime into the prison dimension with or without the sacrifice Leo did in the movie but by then, the damage to the surface is so severe that the remaining people need to go to the Mystic City. While it IS possible for the Earth to recover, it takes a very long time.

This isn't the worst of the worse timeline but it gets angsty real quick. From Sanzio struggling to regain the person he once was, to Blue's guilt over causing this entire mess, it gets pretty sad once you think about it. That's not even mentioning Niccolo or Orange's feelings about all this, or any of the other extended Hamato family and how THEY experienced this.
