Save youself, I'll hold them back by My Chemical Romance

I highly recommend listening to the song while reading the comic btw!!

BEHOLD MY MAGNUM OPUS! Bro this took more than 2 months, in part because I was really busy IRL during one of those months, but even then this was a pretty large project for me compared to what I've done before. BUT NOW I'M FINALLY DONE! 😭 Save yourself, I'll hold them back is just such a Leo-coded song, especially if you include the whole bad timeline, I just had to make something rottmnt-related with it. I actually envisioned this at first as an animation, but I lack both the skill and motivation to animate so it became a lyric comic instead lol.

I had an idea for a one-off Rise episode plot and just wanted to quickly sketch up some visuals for it.

The plot goes as follows: Donnie attempts to invent a cloning machine and, due to some kind of science-y mishap, ends up cloning himself...a lot. But there's a catch to this - the clones aren't exact copies of Donnie, they each possess just ONE of the various facets of his personality (i.e. brainy, broody, sarcastic, passionate, dramatic, mischievous, etc.) and a small portion of his mystic powers. Don tries his darnedest to keep the whole situation under wraps while he searches for a way to fix it, but some of the more rambunctious Donnies quickly escape and begin stirring up trouble in the Lair, so it doesn't stay a secret for very long. To make matters worse - the real Donnie starts to slowly disappear (something having to do with his existence being divided among the Donnies or blahblahblah fake science explanation). So, while he and the scientist Donnies continue to look for a way to reverse the cloning effect, his brothers and Co. set to work gathering up all the other Donnies so they can put them back where they belong and keep Donnie Prime™ from vanishing.

Hilarity, wholesomeness (and some mild angst) ensues.

(Note: I meant to include April in that second-to-last image, but ran out of room. Just know that she, Splinter, and probably Casey Jr. are all there, as well.)

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

It’s okay Donnie, it happens to the best of us. Besides, fume hoods aren’t very common in abandoned subways

Ok so random thought. What if the rise turtles fed up with being treated as ‘odd’ by a couple of the other iterations, decided to pretend to be a ‘new’ iteration for a night. Just to see how’d they react.

Leo, wrapping his arms around his bros: “Say. I got an idea~. That’ll REALLY tell us what they think of us.”

*says idea*

Mikey grabs Donnie’s bandanna and wears it. “Ohhhh! I get to show off my psychology degree!” Bouncing on his heels.

*he will also be able to stretch this delusion on account that he knows how to weld and has helped Donnie make things.

“OH-HO HO!” Donnie grabs Raph’s bandanna excitedly, finger gun pose, “I’m gonna be the best RAPH ever!” Leans forward fists to his sides looking FERAL.

Leo grabs Mikey’s bandanna, posing, “Not bad~. I can make this work~.” Smiling coyly, eyes shut, sparkles.

*he will be Extra.

“Mmm… I don’t think Raph likes how the mask doesn’t cover my whole head.” Raph wearing Leo’s blue mask scratches his head as his brow furrow in concern.

Donnie waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t worry. I can make new adjusted ones for us.”

“Good! Cause I wanted my mask tails longer!” Leo called.

“We still have to look unrecognizable however.” Donnie typing on his wrist. “So maybe we should leave certain things. I —unfortunately— should forgo my eyebrows.”

Leo: “I still don’t know how you think you’re gonna pull off Raph! That voice is a dead-nerd give away!”

Donnie grabbed his chin, “Mmm… You may offer a fair point. Perhaps a ‘cool, silent bad boy’ type would fit me!” Grinning. “Practicing a deeper voice would help.”

His eyebrows perked up. “Raph should be fine as long as he stops speaking in the 3rd person.” Raph laughs nervously(?).

*Donnie will later be showing up a motorcycle and way too cool clothes.

“But what about Raph’s size?” Mikey leaned in worriedly

“Yeah what about my height?” Rafa repeated.

“Come to think of it. It is kinda dead-end give away.” Leo grabbed his chin.

“Hmm.” Donnie thought, “I could probably invent a shrink way, or something to temporarily change your build.”

*This may or may not go wrong later. Raph will still have his spiked shell. Possibly a much thinner build and tail (if we want) if we go this route.

*though it would be fun imagining them try to dress up Raph convincingly as his size. Maybe using Mikey’s craft skills. Other alternatives would be Donnie making a robot Raph speaks through. And a poorly constructed dummy Raph speaks for from behind a corner. Actually that robot might be a solid idea—

In the end they all look different enough, try speaking in (slightly) different voices boarding on bad.

?Mikey probably painted their skin to look darker/more consistent (more like Donnie’s blue-green skin maybe??)

But all in all it’s just believable enough.

Feel free to use I guess. I don’t think I have time to draw it.
