What Was Meant to Be: Origins ○ Part 1
Rise Ramblings #149
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.

I want baron from the baronies still attached to Riz and his lies but not dangerous like he was. Riz lies about liking Fabians pasta salad and also hasn't eaten all day so baron brings him the biggest bowl and nags him until he eats some out of spite. But at least he ate something today.
Like baron just being a spiteful little guy shoving his lies at him and NOTHING riz does can keep baron out of his space. Eventually it becomes commonplace and he starts expecting baron around.
Kristen offers riz lemon for his coffee and riz is like " yes Kristen I love lemon in my coffee of all things." Sarcastically but baron starts squeezing lemon into his coffee and now he drinks less of it, inadvertently being a little healthier.
I want riz mid 20s with just a spiteful little demon of a guy showing up just for fun

How much time has actually passed since the initial kidnapping? I know its been over a year, maybe a year and a few months? Draxum has all their hatch dates, and last I remember Galois is 15, but Leo is 16 (since they only guessed their hatch dates) and Draxum even tells him so in the latest chapter, it feels…idk it feels like something, but I cant pinpoint it exactly. Something soft with a hint of ridicule, maybe? Or maybe I missed Galois‘ second birthday during all the managing of war and stuff
Donnie's kidnapping took place March 13th, 2019. Currently, we're somewhere in early-mid July of 2020. Leo was going to mention in one of his sections last chapter that Independence Day had passed without fanfare and how weird that felt, to not have fireworks in New York. But then I forgot, because you know how I am. Leo's sixteenth birthday has passed; Gale's has not. But neither of those dates are their actual birthday.
Donnie and Leo hatched on the same day. Considering when spiny softshells hatch this with probably in fall of 2004, (Leo was hatched by a breeder so he didn't necessarily need to hatch when wild sliders usually do) so they are technically still fifteen! But Draxum also doesn't go by their real hatchdate for Gale's birthdate-December would be way too late for a spiny softshell to hatch, and in his fiction Gale never really hatched at all. He got thrown together in a petri dish like an IVF baby. So he didn't need to be 'born' in a certain season; he was entirely on Science Time.
I went back and forth on whether Draxum should acknowledge him as fifteen or sixteen, but ultimately I decided it would be more impactful for him to acknowledge Leo's own agency over the matter and Splinter's judgement over their approximate ages. And anyway, it wasn't like it really mattered. Galois's own birthdate is a month or three after his 'real' one. Not to mention time was sort of of the essence-he didn't have time to argue with Leo over whether he was fifteen or sixteen.
