PLEASE hear me out on this idea. we all know shredder redemption arc aus are a must, and we all need it. BUT I represent you an alternative:

Forced Redemption.

Because think about it, in actual canon, it'd be so unlikely he would have any form of redemption arc due to how the writers decided to have written him, very poorly. What if as an alternative, a redemption arc is placed but not WILLINGLY? What other choice does he have? Either a second chance, or death. And despite how unlikely he'd be able to recover, maybe he sees it as an opportunity to have another chance to get back at the turtles, and Splinter.

He wouldn't easily back down, despite his hatred of the idea of redemption, he sees that as a means to survival and having another go at finally killing that wretched rat he so despises so much. Despite this though, what if he was just utterly miserable while being forcely redeemed? Redemption is one thing, but it has to be willingly to the person who has done wrong to people. If it isn't willing, then it isn't redemption. As you cannot FORCE someone to redeem themselves, and expect results to come out good.

The reason why he's being forcefully redeemed? Is because of Splinter himself. The turtles have managed to defeat him, but what if they know how much Splinter misses his brother, Saki, no matter how much he tells them that what has been done is done, how Shredder has made up his mind long time ago. But despite this they know of his hope and longing to have his little brother back. How much he misses having him by his side rather than in his shadow. He never got to tell Saki how much he truly cared for him and that aches his very heart.

What if just like Shredder, Splinter is as stubborn as you'd think he can be. Despite knowing not to let his heart control and cloud his better judgment, when it comes to his brother he cannot help but have that all thrown out of the window. He knows of the risk, letting Shredder be at their side for his path of redemption, but he holds that hope so tightly, as if letting any gap between his hands would have it slip away from him.

And the PARALLELS. imagine the parallels. Shredder has to face that history has happened once more, how he had been spared as a child by Yuuta out of "the kindness of his heart" despite taking everything away from him since birth, and now? The hamatos yet again spare his life, forcing him to be something he's NOT. Sparing him as their act of "kindness", giving him a second chance he does not want but has no choice but to take. Because it's either that or death. And deep down he is afraid of dying. He is afraid of death, because that would mean everything he's done would be all for nothing. And he won't let that be what the Foot Clan would remain as.

i hate rendering his stupid helmet bro

On a better note, 2012 if it had good writing part 10000000, dude- LMAO

I genuinely love this concept of Mikey loving Saki and Karai / wanting to love them almost immediately after discovering their familial connection- He was the only brother in 2012 to refer to Karai as their sister / himself and his brothers as her brothers, so I don't think it would be a stretch for him to acknowledge Saki in a similar fashion had this been brought to the forefront more. I think the canonical reason for why this didn't happen is because Splinter always referred to Saki as an "old friend" and not his (adoptive) younger brother when recounting the past to his sons-

But regardless, I think this should've happened. I also think Mikey should've been the one to break Splinter emotionally, but in a positive way?? Where he feels safe to cry and release all these pent up emotions he's been holding onto,, I also really like the idea that Splinter would feel immense joy at Mikey seeing them as family immediately ! I personally think it would have been a better day for Splinter to have not had any animosity towards Shredder (Saki), with him more so being confused as to how their relationship got this way-! 😭👍

I think it would have been really funny for the main 2012 Shredder villains to have a similar dynamic to the 2012 Turtles- Where they're constantly doing goofy stuff as group or getting in each other's way during missions but in a really dumb way? I don't know how else to explain that- Lmao

(I missed a lot of little details + I was going to color it but I didn't, I'm sorry- I'm super tired and I got my blood drawn today which sucked ass, so I just wasn't feelin it- 😭)

and if i say shredder and karai with the song No More Birthdays by Sophie May would be heart wrenching would we all yay or would i be thrown tomatoes

the thought of shredder always wanting to have children and raising them, seeing them grow up and achieve all the things he couldn't, has me on a choke hold. HE COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD FATHER that's the thing, he could have if the circumstances were right for him, if only the situation he was in, the cruel reality of being raised by your enemy and your real family slaughtered and beaten to the dirt hadn't been so harsh towards him. he could have been such a good father and i am physically ill thinking about it

Shredder standing infront of Karai: Never speak to me or my daughter again

Splinter: That's my daughter!

Shredder: Fine. Never speak to me or your daughter again
