I Know I Said I'd Post Render Experiments But I Just Have To Get This Specific Thought Out.

I fully intended to just do the colors but I had too much fun shading the twinks

Got up early today, figured I'd post a doodle

I swear, whenever I draw the four guardians being cute I can't help but throw in Roll. I can see the vision though??? Like she would be the one that could help them get accustomed to the slower things in life. Show them the little things that help make a home so cozy, y'know?

Anybody else have a blorbo that can do both?

Yeah, me too

I told you. It's pretty crazy. Anyway, these are almost every character that has ever interacted with the turtles whether significantly or not. Now that I'm looking at the list, I'm really blown away by how different these interactions are. It's awesome! Seriously, it looks like the the only things that stayed the same was the turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shredder, and Karai. The Kraang too but I'll talk about that in a second.

In the Au, Stockman might've gone to the store Stockboy works at and chatted about machines and whatnot. Tang Shen and Gram Gram Karai would also have gotten along pretty well I think (they share the same voice actor too so that's a nice touch). I don't think Draxum would've worked together with Shredder. Saki tends to boss others around and Draxum's pride wouldn't have liked that. It's possible that Shredder tricked Draxum into wearing the armor, but the chance of finally gaining the power necessary to achieve his goal would've been too good to pass up. Saki isn't above using enhancers as a last resort. He would've worn the Dark Armor on his own and become the 'Super' Shredder. One last thing to note is that technically speaking and looking back at Rise canon, the Hamato clan originally was a part of the foot clan. It's weird right?? The split happened when the leader of the Foot clan at the time wore the Dark Armor and went on a rampage. He had done so with the best of intentions but he couldn't control the armor's need to destroy. The man (who happens to also be called Oroku Saki, might name change in this au) had a daughter whose name was Karai. She would go on to create the Hamato clan and seal away the Shredder and herself. That's what happens in this Au at least and aligns closely with canon for the most part. 2012 didn't have much lore when it comes to the Hamato clan, aside from what happened to Tang Shen, so that's why I chose Rise canon as a building point.

Now the Krang is in a weird spot. In canon the 2012 Kraang are brainwashed by Kraang Prime with only a few that managed to break free of his control, calling themselves Utrom. Rise canon sees something similar to this in that the Krang are invaders that can take control of both machines and organic beings. Rise fans also know that Krang are actually the reason for Yokai in the first place through the Empyrean they brought and that they created the Dark Armor. In terms of the Au, the 2012 Kraang only want to free Krang Prime which is Rise Krang. (Brother and Sister Krang are also there but we don't see a lot of love for them so.) There were a few 2012 Kraang that decided to rebel and called themselves the Utrom. The creation of Yokai through the Empyrean and the banishment of Krang Prime and his siblings happened long ago, just like Rise canon.

No one really knows who sealed them away, time had eroded the knowledge away to the point of meaninglessness. There are definitely several legends about it that try to explain what exactly happened but it's never explained. Maybe it was the Utrom trying to atone for the sins of their past, or maybe, just maybe, it was a group of great warriors?

So I've seen like two posts about FNAF: Security Breach...but as a movie. Like those end credits in the Toy Story movie. Ngl that made me laugh so hard so i want to add some:

- Gregory called Vanny Vanessa

"You didn't see Vanessa dancing out there- oh wait"

- Moon got stuck on his wire and needs help

- Mapbot scared Freddy more than it did Gregory

- When Vanessa caught Gregory he actually fainted and she was freaked out

- Chica has gotten lost in Fazerblast way to many times

- *Roll clip of Monty dropping his glasses for the 80th time*

- "Say hello to the DJ, he is such a nice fellow!" *DJ proceeds to enter then exit the room*

- Several scenes of Gregory and Vanessa being chaotic siblings

- Cue Freddy dancing to the Chug Jug song

Random idea for Mutant Mashup: Red might be more anxious about being left alone than canon.

Canon Rise Raph had his bros, April, and his dad. A limited group of people, but that combined with the isolation meant that Raph only had his family as people he could trust. However, I think Raph got too reliant, being around his family to the point where if any of them leave Raph alone with his thoughts, he starts to panic.

I might be reading too far into this but that's just my reasoning for why Raph goes savage in Rise canon and I'll be extending that headcanon to Red in Mutant Mashup for now. Might change later.

The reason Red would be quicker to go savage when alone is because he has even more family which meant that Red was never really left alone. He was pulled in all directions by both his brother's and his cousin's and while he did have DaVinci there to shoulder some of the weight, at the end of the day Red didn't get a lot of time to himself. Red didn't mind that though and was happy to spend time with his family, he just needed to make sure that DaVinci was there to make sure nothing hurt the family while Red was gone.

Savage Raph in this au largely acts the same as in canon but calms down immensely once DaVinci inserts himself into the situation. Vin likes to keep clean and his wears his signature blue often so while Red won't recognize Vinnie immediately, he does recognize the color and feels safer as a result. LaceFace is still the main thing that snaps Red out of his savage mode.

I still want to think about this a bit more, not confident in enough with Red's reason to go savage mode when left alone. For now though, this is just an idea that doesn't have to be added into the Au rn.

Why was Shadow man so tired in that World's Unite comic?

He's so funny and for what

Do you guys think that Will Cipher is a version of Bill that fully expresses his feelings about destroying his own universe instead of hiding what's really going on?

He's just a sad littol guy. A soggy cool ranch dorito if you will.

Also, here's another version of the outfit bc I couldn't decide which one I liked more. Even added a doodle of Opposite Jax smiling. I don't really see him happy so I just decided, eh what the heck why not?

Will is happy to have such a nice friend now and Jax enjoys the appreciation hug.

Silly turtle lad. He humbly requests that you drink water rn
