Did someone say 2012 Mutant apocalypse redesigns?

Don’t get me wrong, the OG ones are pretty okay (especially Raph and Donnie’s) but I could never really get into Mikey and Leo’s haha. So, because I’d already done a bit of redesign on the 2012 boys to make them biblically accurate, I thought, heck, why not convert those same designs into the apocalypse versions!

[byfulcrums]

WAIT! Imagine an episode where April complains about Sunita being unavailable for a long time and having to be alone in school again, so the boys decide to infiltrate her school go to school with her.

They somehow get cloaking brooches (definitely didn't steal them, they would never do that they did), Donnie made them fake IDs and they went to her school as students.

Barry almost has a heart attack when he sees them because what the fuck are you doing here? And the other students get angry because only they get “nice” treatment from the lunch lady (mostly Mikey, but he forced Draxum to be nice to the others, including April).

Leo would join a sport and absolutely destroy everyone, becoming a “pupular kid” (mostly because of the trouble he gets in. Also, he 100% has issues playing on teams bc that's literally canon). Donnie would be the type to complain about how easy the stuff they're learning is (except for history. He sucks at it). Mikey would look like he's distracted, but when asked what they were talking about he'd repeat everything the teacher said word by word (because c'mon, that boy can definitely pay attention to more than one thing at once). Raph is the guy everyone's scared of (he's HUGE), but when people actually try to get to know him, they realize he's just a very overprotective, giant teddy bear.

Everyone is confused because where did they come from?? Why do they look so different from each other but say they're brothers? How do they manage to vanish so many times without getting expelled?

If Leo, Don, and Mikey get angst. It's only fair we give so to Raph. Here's something that's been on my mind, when Leo starts to investigate their tragic backstory, it hits Raph the most since he was said to be the one who remembers the most. Maybe when he first hears Big Mama's voice, he doesn't understand why he's suddenly remembering those old memories. Anyway, just a thought.

Oh Raph definitely gets his share of angst for this. I mean, to start, while all his brothers are going through painful transformation processes, he's not really. Sure he gets a few headaches and his eyes are being a pain, but to him, that's nothing compared to the twins growing new limbs and Mikey growing eyes. The medical stuff is all Leo's domain and Raph feels like he himself is useless in this situation. He's supposed to protect his little siblings but he can't protect them from their own bodies.

and as for memories, that's definitely an angsty bit for him. He does remember the most, and i think you're right. That when they went to the hotel for the first time/met Big Mama, some old memories started to resurface (or at least the place/person gave him a sense of familiarity/safety he doesn't quite understand. Which is probably why he trusted her so readily.)

Then there's the point that, out of the four of them, he's the only one who remembers being mutated. Which is something he tends not to talk about b/c even after 13 years, it's still a pretty traumatic memory for him. His brothers probably don't even know he remembers that until they start questioning their mutation story and he reluctantly admits to remembering it .

This also adds some angsty context to Draxum's reveal in 'Evil league of mutants'. i mean, in episode he literally falls to his knees and stares at the ground for a while, not seeming to hear much past 'i used Lou Jitsu's dna to make you'.

(screenshot for proof b/c im currently watching this episode anyways)

I mean look at him! the other three are at least listening to Draxum's villain "i made you so join me!" speech (Kinda), Raph is very much not. so in this context, i think he'd realize what this meant. That he remembers being mutated b/c Draxum didn't mutate 4 turtles into humanoids, he mutated four children, (Lou Jitsu's children, who is also them) into turtles. (Can't tell i love changing the context on cannon events, now can you? lol. Give me an au that's main purpose is to make you rethink cannon and i will eat it up every damn time : ) )

All in all, every buddy gets their share of angsty bs, just different types. (but they also get fluff so it will even out lol)

Thank you! I really liked talking about Raph's side of things for this.

Can we all agree that Raphie needs a mother figure the most?

Why would he need a mom when there's a perfectly good Leo right there?? Basically the same thing

Jokes aside, yeah most continuities I can agree. The one that needs an extra parental figure most is usually Raph. Though I believe all of them would've had a higher quality life/childhood if they had a mother. Mikey, Donnie, and Raph would be such momma's boys, and I think that would be so sweet.

But context and character dynamics are important, it really only works in theory. So most likely a continuity with a healthy relationship between Yoshi/Tang Shen and they got mutated together or they stay together after only one gets mutated. All things considered a single mom wouldn't fare much better then just Splinter. But a Splinter that falls in love after mutation could work well too. An unhealthy/toxic dynamic wouldn't help in the slightest.

April often "sort of" fills the mom role, mom role adjacent like older sister or loving Aunt, and is usually the best at nurturing Donnie more then anyone else. Casey is often helpful giving Raph a mirror and helping him regulate his temper, but he's not much a parental figure and usually an honorary turtle sibling. Plus the lesson is usually Raph teaching an adult to control themselves which isn't fair to Raph who is always a child. They all need one-on-one time with a parental figure that isn't meant to further their ninjutsu.

2003 Splinter is exempt, he's not perfect but the literal "has always been a rat, never human" Dad is the only one that regularly just hangs out with his kids and watches them play games or just watches movies/tv with them for fun. And if his kiddos are in danger he's absolutely right there trying to protect them.

Venus - We Need to Talk (Again)

Back here again, aren't we? I'm so sorry, but I just can't help myself.

Because I have just discovered that there were plans to reveal not just one, but TWO lost turtles in ROTTMNT, I will discuss the story potential both Venus and Slash could have, should this show ever come back. (Please Nickelodeon, do something right for once and give us this show back-) But I must finish Venus first, before moving on to Slash.

And for those of you who might ask about Jennika, I thought about making her own page to hold out hope that she could make it into the Rise universe, only to come to the tragic realization that it was highly unlikely that she could ever appear in the show, given that Venus and Slash are pretty infamous as characters, and that the creators said that there were 2 missing turtles and not 3. My apologies to all Jennika stans.

Anyway, I did talk about Venus already, yes, but after revisting her backstory from The Next Mutation, I've come to the conclusion that her debut story isn't all bad? Yeah, I can't believe I just said that either.

I'll give the Next Mutation writer's 15-year-old brains credit, the idea that Venus was adopted by someone else and learned ninjutsu/magic is a cool concept, if explored correctly.

Since it's been pretty well-established that Big Mama's assistant was likely going to be revealed as Venus, I have an idea as to how she got there.

Now I could be wrong, but I believe that Big Mama's assistant debuted in Season 2. Whether or not she was just hired or was hiding out until the time was right, who can say.

For those of you who don't know or simply wiped that show from your memory, Venus was raised by Master Chung I, a human martial artist who taught Venus everything he knew.

Chung I died after confronting the Dragon Lord and demanding that he release Splinter. And his last words to Venus were for her to travel to New York City.

Now if I were in charge, I would keep some similarities to this, but obviously take some creative liberties.

In my Rise version of event, Draxum's lab explodes, the boys and Splinter take off, and Venus and Slash are presumed by Draxum to have died.

Instead of Venus' father being a human, I would make him a yokai, who finds her somehow and takes her to the farthest end of the Mystic City.

This father-figure would parallel Splinter in a few ways:

He would simultaneously be responsible, yet neglectful at the same time. The guy would be very much a loner with a tragic past, so while he would take care of Venus physically, her emotionally needs are something he simply can't and would not handle.

He would never leave his home. Granted, it would be hard to do so, as he lives very, very far away from other yokai, but he just refuses to interact with anyone he doesn't have to. But not because he's lazy, it would likely be due to paranoia and his strict moral code to keep his whatever he's keeping secret, safe from everyone.

Less of a father, and more of a master. A total flip from Rise Splinter, who focused more on fatherhood than teaching his sons dangerous martial arts, this guy is "teacher first, father second."

I see him as a cat. Not sure why I went with that, but it was a cool idea I thought of while brainstorming. While Splinter is an overweight, yet agile rat, I imagine Chung I would be a skeletal, agile, and exhausted cat.

I even have a sketch I drew.

Honestly, just think of 2012 Master Splinter for a frame of reference on his personality. He's still wise and knowledgeable, but instead of kind and compassionate, he's grumpy, unwelcoming, and snappy.

Not the greatest upbringing for Venus: living in isolation and rarely going outside, only knowing and living with one person her entire life, training constantly every single day, and being told that her emotions should never interfere with her duty, but she knows that it's the best for her! Poor thing...

So how does this play into how Venus became Big Mama's assistant? Allow me to explain:

The whole reason why Venus' father isolated himself and Venus was because of an ancient prophecy. I haven't worked out all the logistics of the prophecy, but basically he needs to protect that sacred amulet he has around his neck, or the Dragon Lord will rise once more.

Unfortunately, shenanigans happen and the Dragon Lord is awakened, but not at full power. Though he has just enough to kill Chung I.

Heartbroken and determined to stop the Dragon Lord, Venus travels through the Mystic City for any information on another ancient weapon that could destroy the beast once and for all.

This leads to her meeting Big Mama and learning about the Battle Nexus tournaments.

Whether Venus likes Big Mama or not, I haven't decided, but she's honestly just using her to gain battle experience and knowledge on everything going on within the Mystic City and/or the surface.

Depending on when all of this happened, she might have become Big Mama's assistant at least several months to a year prior to the boys being introduced to her in Season 2.

I picture that the big reveal of Venus being their sister would play out a bit similarly to how I discussed previously. I loved looking through everyone's ideas about Venus, and I can say without a doubt, that the amount of fanfare behind ROTTMNT and Venus overall is worth Nickelodeon bringing back this show.

Note: Well! I hope you all enjoyed this! If you read till the end, thank you very much! Please tell me what you think of my ideas, that would be very much appreciated! Until next time with my comments, concerns, and ideas about Slash, have a great day everyone! Byeee! 💗

[sheddedscutes]

the Foot turtles are meant to very much parallel the Hamato turtles

I gave them weapons that in certain versions their Hamato counterparts wield, Venus gets the odachi(though she eventually opts for a miaodao later), Slash kusarigama, Lita tonfa, and Jennika the naginata

[stupid-2012tmnt-pics]
