Had Fun With The Blur Tool This Time, Not Anything Fancy But I Like How This Came Out.

Funnily enough I’ve been kinda curious about Mighty No. 9 lately, and the fanart you posted is strengthening my desire to check it out 👀

Oh yeah, go right ahead! I loved the characters voices, they're just super funny to me for some reason. The bosses especially were very quirky both as bosses and as helpers. Which yeah, another thing I like about the game. Unlike Megaman, which MN9 is meant to be a spiritual successor of, you actually get more screentime of all of the bosses and get a chance to know them beyond just fighting them for their weapons. I love that kinda thing since the bosses are related to the player character named Beck. I think it's super sweet that they help out their youngest sibling out but still let him fight his own battles.

With that being said though, I do gotta let you know that the gameplay has a couple problems. From what I hear the game bugs out and barely runs at 60 fps. Even if things run smoothly, some people really hate the enemy placement and consider it unfair. Using the playable character's weapons is also kinda weird and not like Megaman at all which can be kinda frustrating.

Sanzio's just there like:

"Who are these people and how do they know me??? Why is the blue guy crying????"

I made the grave mistake of looking up what Epic the Musical was on YouTube and now I don't know peace-

That led me to listening to Survive, a song from The Cyclops Saga by Jeorge Rivera-Herrans, here's the link on Spotify:

It's so unbelievably good that I daydreamt an entire separate timeline for the Mutant Mashup AU based on this that I lovingly refer to as, the Painful Timeline.

Like I could vividly imagine DaVinci starting the song via declaration of war against either Krang Prime (Rise Krang) or a Krang infested, Dark Armor welding super Shredder. Blue would be the one who sings the battle commands in the middle of the song. By the end, DaVinci dies with the rest of the turtles get picked off one by one, leaving Blue, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Orange left to try and fight.

If they manage to get away (Blue used his portals) I imagine Sanzio lost his memory during the altercation, just like he did during the Mutant Apocalypse in canon. Niccolo would definitely need to build a new shell for himself, as a reference to the IDW comics. Blue definitely lost his arm for very obvious reasons. Orange is the least physically hurt by the enemy (y'know, baby privileges) but he does unlock more of his mystic abilities.

The rest of the fam is up in the air but here's what I got. Lou and April live but May dies, or at the very least isn't an ally because she was engineered by the Kraang themselves to be a weapon. Casey and CJ survived, Cass didn't make it and got overrun by the Kraang.

Somehow, someway they throw Krang Prime into the prison dimension with or without the sacrifice Leo did in the movie but by then, the damage to the surface is so severe that the remaining people need to go to the Mystic City. While it IS possible for the Earth to recover, it takes a very long time.

This isn't the worst of the worse timeline but it gets angsty real quick. From Sanzio struggling to regain the person he once was, to Blue's guilt over causing this entire mess, it gets pretty sad once you think about it. That's not even mentioning Niccolo or Orange's feelings about all this, or any of the other extended Hamato family and how THEY experienced this.

This is the first image I thought of

THE CHAIR- 😭💀💀 PLEASE I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC SOO MUCH AHAHAHAHA. THIS IS FELIGAMI EVERYONE 😂🛐

Btw I probably should’ve asked this sooner, but do you have any fruity HCs for the turtles? And do you want to be canon in Mutant Mashup? I have my own, so I’d like compare. I’ve always found seeing other HCs fun

I do actually! I didn't want add any relationship preferences unless you were okay with it so I'm glad you asked!

2012 boys:

Leo: Bisexual, he/him (I heard he had a man crush on Captain Ryan which is just so on point)

Raph: Heterosexual, he/him (canonically has a relationship with Y'gythba/Mona Lisa)

Donnie: Bisexual/Nonbinary, he/they (I think it's funny if he doesn't know he's bi just yet but figures it out as time goes on)

Mikey: Pansexual/Genderfluid, he/they/she (no reason for this, I just like the idea)

Rise boys:

Rafa: Homosexual, he/she (I saw a comic that had Rafa and Leon go do 'Fruity Friday's once a week and loved the idea)

Leon: Homosexual, he/him (how could he not?)

Don: Bisexual/Nonbinary, they/them (personal headcanon)

Angel: Pansexual, he/him (also personal headcanon)

I'd like to hear what headcanons you have!

Had fun brainstorming, now imma try and draw something related to this (take a look at the messages pls me and @possumsarenice had fun)

I’ve seen some people make some “What if the 2012 and 2018 turtles switched and grew up in the others’ world” AUs, but imagine if you will “2012 or 2018 Splinter has eight sons instead of four” aka, Splinter bought the 2012 AND 2018 turtles in the pet store or in 2018 Barron Draxum added 4 more turtles to his roster. In either universe the eight grow up as siblings. That is some chaos I’d love to see

Nothing too special, but I liked it too much not to post it

These are hands down, the best names I have ever personally heard in my entire life.

there’s got to be at least one trans woman named eve out there whose deadname is adam. and she’s the funniest person to ever grace this earth with her presence.

Took a short break from Megaman to draw a character I always loved the look of.

Her name was Silhou the Wildcat and from what I understand, she was the prototype for Blaze the cat, who debuted in Sonic Rush. Blaze's backstory in that game was that she's a princess of a kingdom called Solenea and she guards the Sol Emeralds.

Blaze is also, apparently, an alternate version of Sonic himself? I guess that explains why Silhou looks the way she does, and I really like it. I think she looks so colorful and pretty. Personality wise, I think Silhou was meant to be much like Sonic. Carefree, cool, adventurous, but also being reckless, impatient, and overconfident. I headcanon that much like Blaze, Silhou also has fire powers though they're far more dangerous than Blaze's since they're so wild and burn hotter.

Going off on a tangent here, it's likely because of her destructive power and untamed spirit that she was exiled from the kingdom. Her family probably didn't appreciate her casual nature and wanted her to act the part of a princess which felt suffocating to someone like Silhou. Even if she wasn't exiled, she probably left of her own accord since what was expected of her didn't align with what she wanted out of life. Plus, her powers are very dangerous and like Sonic, Silhou cares deeply for the people around her. She probably left both because she wanted to see the world but also to protect the kingdom from getting swallowed up in her flames. Either way, the result is the same. Silhou is not a part of Blaze's life growing up and left almost nothing aside from old pictures for her family to remember her by. Blaze won't know who she is, but Silhou is smart enough to connect the dots should they ever meet.

Along with Silhou, I also know of another prototype for Blaze that most fans know already.

ProtoBlaze! She doesn't have an official name other than the ones fans give her and her story is nonexistent since I believe she was made early into Blaze's design process. I've seen someone name her Ember, which I love, and I've also seen someone liken her to Shadow and align her more towards his story. I like a lot of this, but I've got an idea of my own that I'll just put down here:

Silhou and ProtoBlaze are in fact one in the same. ProtoBlaze, who will be called Silhouette from this point onwards, is an additional form Silhou takes when her emotions become too much to handle. Kind of like Dark Sonic, only the difference is that Silhouette lasts much longer and her fire powers become that much more deadly, being able to burn through anything. Thankfully, it takes a lot for Silhou to reach this point so Silhouette doesn't usually appear.

Eventually, Silhou comes to accept Silhouette as part of her and over the course of her life Silhou becomes able to temper the dark forms flames, using them to achieve her goals.

With that final thought, enjoy these doodles:

Just thought of something for the boi's.

Whenever Purple gets sick, he tries to power through it and usually goes straight to working on one of his projects. Von Ryan over here hates getting sick, everything feels awful, his nose is congested, and the increase in temperature makes him feel gross. Not a great time in his humble opinion.

Luckily! He gets caught by the Medic Duo-

This time Sanzio caught Blue eating his snacks and proceeded to give chase until they both heard Purple sniffle. It's all good though.

They make a great team when the fam needs help.

I'm looking forward to Mutant Mayhem and still hope Rise continues in the near future
