When watching Rise, you can tell that these turtles are, different, than the other iterations. From their inception these boys were created purposefully as opposed to accidentally.
Likewise, the turtles are different from every other mutant created in the show. The other mutants were made by chance: a random human with whatever animal or living creature (or plant) that human just so happened to interact with last. As a result, the possibilities are endless, but non-specific.
Yet, the turtles were created with a purpose: not just to be mutants, but to be weapons of mass destruction designed to carry out Draxum’s master plan.
All he had to do was to train them: to train their bodies (and minds) to be the super soldiers he had destined them to be.
But there was a hitch.
With no lab, and with no turtles, his plan had ended in failure...
That is until some troublesome turtle teens stumbled into his rebuilt lab thirteen years later.
And just like that, his plan was back on.
But time and time again, the turtles chose to refuse him. So to Baron, what good are weapons he cannot use.
Someone else had tarnished his weapons by teaching them to think for themselves and by allowing them to be themselves...
So if the turtles didn't become the weapons that they were meant to be, then what did the turtles become? Tomato-I mean, Hamatos.

at some point, a few weeks or months into a galactic-wide conflict, after losing an arm and getting secretly married 19 year old anakin skywalker looked in the mirror and thought ‘you know what will help me get my life back on track? a side part’
I wonder why Chris Rodriguez joined Luke in the first place. Was he jaded against the gods like Luke was? Was he following his older brother's example? And then I wonder how he coped after the Labyrinth. How did it feel to know he was basically sent on a desperate suicide mission with almost no chance of success? How did it feel to know that the camp he turned his back on, the children of the gods he had renounced, one of the very gods he had been working to destroy, ended up saving him? What was going through his mind when he came back from his madness at Camp Half-Blood thanks to one of the very gods Luke and Kronos insisted didn't care about him? Is that why he chose to stay? Did he realize Luke was wrong about Camp Half-Blood and about at least some of the gods when they welcomed him back with open arms? Did he see Dionysus save him and realize that the gods are capable of caring when it matters? Did he realize that there was a chance for the gods to be better? Did he realize there was another way to get what they wanted without war and death and deals with monsters and Titans? Is that why Chris Rodriguez chose to stay at Camp Half-Blood rather than return to the Titan army?
Our topic for today is Streaming: what is it, how it counts for charting, and some of the apps you can use to stream BTS. Today's lesson can also be found on the @BTSxRockyMtn Twitter account!
Why is streaming important? 🤔
Audio and video streaming is counted for Billboard charts and RIAA certifications. Streaming numbers are also used by radio and the music industry to determine popularity and demand.
Spotify, Apple, and YouTube are the big names in streaming but check out this poster for more options (many of which come with free trials or student discounts). ⤴️👀
No matter the app, stream BTS like a human! Check out video above for details.
Do all BTS streams count the same for Billboard?
Premium streams like Apple, Spotify paid, and YouTube Music count MORE than ad-supported / programmed streams.
Check out the posters above to see how they are weighted.
What are Ad-Supported Streams?
Streams that have commercials in them. These count less than paid streams toward Billboard charts.
Which platforms are Ad-Supported?
The free versions of:
▶️Spotify
▶️YouTube
▶️Soundcloud
Programmed stream apps don't let you pick songs but pick songs for you.
Examples: Pandora (free version), Napster, LiveXLive and Sonos Radio.
Programmed streams count 1/2 a point and only count for the Hot100.
Over the next week we'll share edu for YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and other streaming apps. While we don't endorse any particular app, consider mixing things up and trying some to boost streams of BTS!
Think you've got the hang of streaming? Test your knowledge and explore another BTS era as part 1 of our Festa Project.
