WAIT I JUST REALIZED THIS WHILE READING SWEET LIKE HONEY

Cause I was thinking over the “waggled his brow bones” part and how it makes sense cause he don’t have eyebrows, which made me think of his future self having hair and how he could technically then have hair not just on his head?? Possibly???

I don’t know, but more on my discovery channel 😎 (I don’t have a discovery chanel 😭)

no no you’re totally right 👀

if his future self has the hair on his noggin just not his face…? BUT WAIT

would you guys consider this a beard? it’s like not below the chin area but def framing the side of his cheeks/face for sure

but yeah even future worn down Mikey has no brows, though the possibility of a future!Mikey but hasn’t squeezed out all his powers and overworked himself may have better odds at in the hair department 🤷‍♀️

I think anything is possible

In my wait au, all the future turtles like. Settle down and get jobs and stuff. They did their time now they wanna relax and have mundane worries.

Future guys:

Raph- becomes a middle school teacher in the undercity. Before he gets his memories back, he volunteers on weekends. And gets married and divorced. After he gets his memories back, eventually, he adopts some kids, so his weekends get busier.

Donnie- starts his own tech company, and starts making and innovating prosthetics. (Im also considering making him enter a polycule with Kendra's and Jase's parents because it would be SO funny to me but idk jury's still out on that one.)

Mikey- opens a fusion craft store/tattoo parlor. I dont totally know how this would work but he does it.

Cassandra and Leo- take over the Lou Jitsu School on Ninjutsu and start running it. Cassandra specifically works on like expansion and opening new locations while Leo is just happy to train the next generation.

April- I was going to say news reporter, but tbh? I don't think thats a dream she can go back to, after everything that happened to her. Its the dream of an April that died long before April actually died.

I think she bounces around alot of stuff for a while, and lands on studying magic and eventually opening a potion shop in the undercity.

Casey jr.- I think he sticks with the present turtles and keeps helping them be heros. I dont think he particularly knows how to slow down, but i also dont think he wants to. As he gets older, eventually he gets a job working part time with a mechanic. Their name is Car Engine and they start dating Mikey on and off again

Present guys:

Unlike the future turtles, these guys dont retire, so they are still doing heroing and as such cant really open and run their own businesses. But they do get some downtime, so this is what they do with it.

Donnie: I think he takes a bunch of online college classes and gets a degree and starts like. Doing remote work for Nasa. Why would nasa accept donnies strange and unpredictable schedule? Its simply the price they pay for his intellect

Raph: Helps out at the school with Future!Casey and Future!Leo. He also volunteers every once in a while

Mikey: becomes an influencer :(

Leo: tries to become an influencer :(

Okay but actually

Mikey: Does freelance art online, and does graffiti art. Also pursues an online degree in art

Leo: okay he actually does try to become an influencer for a bit, but after that falls through he bounces around a couple things for a while.

Starts doing college classes to become a veterinarian, drops out. Helps out at the lou jitsu school for a bit, but has to stop due to his injuries during the krang invasion. I think he ends the story still figuring himself out, which is okay. Normalize not knowing what you want! He does join an improv club though.

Also meets a particular rabbit yokai who works at run of the mill pizza and they start dating 👀 👀 👀

Cassandra: Starts doing work to help provide opportunities to former convicts and stuff. Specifically, she works with the future guys to get them jobs.

April: she becomes a news reporter. Just because it wasnt what future april wants anymore doesnt mean its not what present april wants.

Lately I've come to the conclusion that I am apparently a fan of the "person from the future goes back in time to prevent the apocalypse" trope lmao. I'm pretty sure I already compared CJ to Silver at some point, and TSAU!Leo being a fan of the Sonic franchise would definitely make that comparison. Aside from that I think Donnie would be a Terminator fan because of the whole "evil AI and robots rule the world" thing, and Casey would be a fan of Dragon Ball because it's about a bunch of buff characters fighting and yelling a lot.

Then that got me thinking about how Raph would probably also like Dragon Ball, and that it would be cute if it was specifially Casey that introduced him to the series in the first place. It would also be fucking hilarious if the plan of sending CJ back in time at least partially was inspired by DBZ of all things so that's canon to the AU now hell yeah

Mikey may look like an old wise mage, but he's still a prick lol

[nikaserb]

i love color palette challenges🤲

Good Timeline Future Mikey, where, by the time he's thirty-nine, he actually looks thirty-nine and not ancient because of mystic overuse (← I fully subscribe to the headcanon that, in the movie, he looks so much older than his actual age because he overexerted his ninpō fighting the Krang)

Nothing wrong with Ancient Mikey! He is very valid and I love him! And my theory is that his future design was supposed to be reminiscent of Splinter's features. BUT I wanted to try my hand at designing what I think Mikey'd look like as a healthy future turtle.

He deserves all the hair.

Edit: So apparently, according to one of the show writers, the mystically-induced fast-aging is canon! (Sources here and here, thanks @thebadhalfofafandom!)

Casey was smarter than this...
