Match Set (Turtle Tots: Before the Rise)

@flufftober 2024 Day 7- Hoodie Weather

Fandom: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Chapter Summary: Just the disaster twins and their matching hoodies.

Duo: Disaster Twins

A/N: You guys have no idea how much I've been wanting to do a Disaster Twins chapter aaaaaaaa!! They are by far my favorite duo and I love them with all my heart and soul!! I would die for these boys ajdklsjfdksljsl

“Make sure you dress warmly, it's going to be chilly out!” Splinter yelled from the TV room.

Leo gasped. A glance over at Donnie and Leo knew he was thinking the same thing. It was tradition, after all.

“Matching hoodies?!” Leo screamed louder than necessary.

“Fine,” Donnie moaned dramatically as if the smile tugging at his lips wasn't super visible to everyone.

Leo cheered and ran to go grab them.

…

Leo and Donnie held hands as they darted from rooftop to rooftop with the rest of their siblings, extra clingy with each other as they proudly displayed their twinness to the world. Leo’s hoodie was a bright pop of blue with bits of purple peaking out in places: the pockets, the drawstring, the lining of the hood. Donnie’s was the inverse of this, mainly purple with small spatterings of blue where it was tasteful.

It fit them perfectly.

An undoubtable matched set and yet, opposite in every way.

Exactly like the disaster twins.

The two moved in perfect sync as they hopped from one landing to the next, taking up the rear of their little party, though they kept arguing about who was leading who. Raph and Mikey mostly ignored them as the two seemed to exist in their own little bubble, jumping from one train of thought to the next with seemingly no rhyme or reason, telling inside jokes that only the two of them would catch, the whole works. The two were operating on a different wavelength from the rest of the world right now, although Donnie would dispute calling it “twin sense” with every fiber of his being.

The two were so caught up in each other that they nearly ran straight into Raph’s back when he came to an abrupt stop. The snapper gave them a perplexed look over his shoulder but the twins just stared back blankly. “We’re here,” he said and they quickly moved to the edge of the roof to see. It was a little corner store that the turtles had raided for supplies plenty of times in the past, Leo’s eyes lighting up when he saw the display window.

“Oh! Oh! They got blue and purple backpacks, Dee! We should totally buy those!”

Donnie tapped a finger to his chin, thinking, though there was a tug of a smile on his lips indicating he was already on board. “Hmmm, it could be useful to have. And it does match my hoodie…”

“Plus, twwwwinnns,” Leo added with a charismatic lean closer.

The smile spread across Donnie’s entire face now and he nodded. “Alright, you’ve convinced me.”

“Yes!” Leo exclaimed and Mikey hopped up and down excitedly.

“Oooh, me too, me too!”

Donnie squinted down at the display window. “It looks like they don't have it in orange, Michael.”

“Awwww, boo.”

“Well it doesn't matter because Pops didn't give us enough money for backpacks anyways,” Raph suddenly stated, rifling through an old, beat up wallet.

Now all three boys were booing, giving their big brother disapproving thumbs down.

“Well he didn't!” Raph cried indignantly, frowning to himself.

However, Leo’s spirits weren’t one to be dampened so easily, suggesting with a mischievous smile, “We could always pay them back later.” He looked to Raph as he said it, giving him his most charming and persuasive grin.

Raph nodded, agreeing a lot faster than expected, “Okay, I’ll allow it.”

“But isn't that considered stealing?” Mikey, the resident moral compass, asked.

Now it was Donnie's turn to smirk, a look nearly identical to his twin's as he stated with his own unique brand of charisma, “Only if you get caught.”

…

It was much warmer in the little shop than outside, but neither Leo or Donnie made any move to remove their hoodies, even as Raph and Mikey took off theirs. Instead, the slider bolted for the clothing section, his twin fast on his heels. Mikey went to check out the toy aisle for anything new, leaving Raph to (once again) pick up the supplies they were actually there for. The snapper sighed once and started loading up on groceries because someone had to make sure they had food to eat… even if he kinda wanted to check out the toys too.

There was actually a pretty decent selection of backpacks available and while looking for the ones Leo had spotted in the window, the blue turtle came across something even more amazing.

The slider gasped loud, latching onto his twin’s arm in an iron grip. “Donnie! Donnie!” he shouted despite being side by side, shaking the poor softshell relentlessly in his excitement.

Donnie, agitated by the violent shaking, snapped loud, “Okay, okay! I’m right here! You can stop!”

The slider did but only so he could drag him closer and point to what exactly had caught his eye. “They have unicorn backpacks!” he said wistfully, eyes practically twinkling in wonder.

“Fascinating,” Donnie said, dry, trying to pry his brother’s fingers loose.

“We have to get them!” Leo was practically vibrating in joy, even as his twin stayed stiff in his grip.

“Absolutely not,” the softshell snapped, finally managing to free his arm.

That made Leo snap out of his fantasy and straight back to reality, turning to Donnie with a pout. “Whaaaat, but whhhhyy?” he whined incessantly, hoping to guilt his twin into agreeing.

But Donnie stood his ground, not so easily swayed by Leo's manipulations. “I agreed to a set of backpacks in both purple and blue. Not unicorn themed garbage.”

“It’s not garbage!” Leo snapped back, jumping on the offensive. “And look-” He snatched up two backpacks from the display shelf, holding them up for his brother to see. “They still come in purple and blue. So what’s the problem?”

“The problem is I don’t wanna be seen wearing unicorns on my back, for pizza’s sake!” Donnie huffed, exasperated.

“Oh, come on! Who’s gonna even see you? April?”

“Yes! And don’t want to make her think I like this stuff!”

Leo rolled his eyes. “She already knows you're a nerd, it’s not like you can get any lamer.”

Donnie huffed and pulled his own backpacks off the shelf. “Well then how about we just get these, instead?” The pair in question were covered in algebraic formulas and symbols and Leo instantly wrinkled his nose in disgust.

“Ew, gross! No way! Keep your nerd stuff away from me.” He took a harrowing step backwards as if just being that close would infect him with cringe.

“But they have them in our colors, so what's the problem?” Donnie mocked, using Leo’s own words against him.

Leo frowned, giving his twin a challenging glare which Donnie met with his own. “It was my idea, I should get to pick.”

“Your logic is flawed.”

“No it's not! You're just not being fair!”

The stare down continued, both far too stubborn to admit defeat, twin telepathy on full blast as they silently dared each other, ‘You break first!’

“Why don't you both just get the ones you want and not fight about it?” Raph suggested, sounding completely exasperated.

“Because then we wouldn't be matching?!” Leo shouted like it was obvious.

“Duh, that's the whole point, Raph,” Donnie added, the two oh so quick to gang up on their big brother, even mid-fight with each other.

Raph sighs deep before snapping an order at the two. “Then how about you ditch the backpacks for a minute and actually help me get what we came here for!”

“Fine,” the twins groaned as one, shooting each other one last lingering glare.

Only there's a rattle at the front door and all four sets of eyes swerve in that direction, pupils wide and afraid. The store owner stands just outside, looking tired, cold, and miserable as he slits the key into the lock. The twins seize up in panic when they hear the click, frozen like deers in headlights.

As the door swings open, the man's loud grumbling fills the space, putting the boys impossibly more on edge. “-making me do inventory this time of- what the?” The man's eyes immediately zero in on Leo and Donnie and there's a flash of confusion. The twins' faces go about six shades paler. This guy was a lot bigger than he looked from the rooftops.

Leo offers his best disarming smile but it comes out too much like a grimace to be all that effective.

It doesn't take long for the man to put two and two together- especially with the incriminating evidence of a backpack in each hand- and suddenly he's glaring hatefully at the pair. “Why you little thieves! You got a lot of nerve tryin to steal from Victor Bytes!”

Realizing his mistake, Leo tossed the backpacks away, Donnie quick to do the same, both frantically shuffling backwards till they hit a wall. “We- We were gonna pay you back later,” Leo tries to plead in a near quiver, taking a protective stance in front of his twin.

“Yeah, sure you were!” The guy snaps, disbelief and hateful spite dripping from every word. “Nice try but I wasn't born yesterday!” He starts rolling up his sleeve, stomping towards the two with malicious intent. “I think someone needs to teach you brats a lesson!”

It was then that Raph darts out from between two aisles, flinging the large bag of groceries as hard as he can at the guy and roaring, “Hot Soooouup!”

The bag hits the shopkeep with enough force to fully knock him off his feet, the thin paper ripping down the middle and sending an explosion of food tumbling. The man is left dazed and disoriented for a moment, laying in a pile of crushed produce.

It was all the advantage the boys need, Raph yelling over his shoulder, “Go!”

Leo and Donnie don’t have to be told twice, racing for the back door. Raph headed that way as well, pausing only to scoop Mikey up on his way out, the little box turtle tucked away in his shell the moment the shopkeep had entered.

The human manages to struggle to his feet, spotting the four escaping figures and shouting, “HEY! Get back here you little punks!”

The back door still hangs open from when they’d all broken in, letting the four slip from the store’s warm central heating to the frigid New York City air in a matter of seconds. Raph and Mikey run one way, so Leo and Donnie run the other, escaping deeper into the dark alley. For whatever reason, the man chaseq after the twins instead of their elder and younger brothers, yelling obscenely as he pursues them with all he's worth. He was far more out of shape compared to the two tots, but was quickly shortening the distance thanks to his height advantage.

Luckily, there's a metal fence ahead dividing the alley in half, with just enough room for the two small turtles to squeeze through if they suck in a breath. Donnie goes first, making it through with no issue. But when it came Leo’s turn…

His sleeve catches on something sharp, bringing him to a staggered halt. He yelps, tugging his arm desperately in the hopes of wiggling loose. Donnie instantly turns to check on his twin when he hears the scream, only for his heart to plummet when Leo looks back at him with scared, watery eyes. “I'm stuck!”

Donnie is at his twin's side in half a second, fiddling with the caught sleeve, trying to pry it loose but the thing isn't budging! “Take it off!” Donnie shouts, voice shrill with fear.

But Leo stubbornly shakes his head. “No!”

“Leo-” Donnie starts to scold only for something to grab his brother tight by the wrist.

Leo cries out in fear, both boys looking up at the now grinning face of the shopkeep. “Got you now, you little brat!”

He starts to drag Leo back through the fence, so Donnie wraps both arms around Leo’s waist and digs in his heels, fighting with all he's worth against the much stronger grip of the adult man. Inch by horrible inch, Leo is tugged ever closer to his fate, so Donnie just grits his teeth and digs his heels in deeper.

“No, let me go!” Leo shouts, completely hysterical at this point, and kicks the fence as hard as he could.

It startles the man, grip loosening for a single instant. And Donnie, fueled by love and impossible desperation, pulls Leo with strength he didn't know existed, something tearing loose and sending the two sprawling to the ground.

Donnie is back on his feet quick, dragging Leo behind him as the angry shopkeeper shouts obscene threats at their retreating backs.

The two run until the voice long fades into the background, ducking into the nearest manhole the moment they were sure they hadn't been followed.

Once on solid ground again, the pair doubled over, panting and gasping for air, their heartbeats a loud, thunderous roar against their eardrums. “What was that, Leo?!” Donnie hissed, shooting his twin a sharp glare. “Why didn't you take off the stupid hoodie so we could-”

But then Donnie noticed Leo curled over his arm with a miserable frown and the anger died on his tongue. "Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked softly, accessing his brother for any noticeable injuries.

Leo shook his head, uncurling enough so Donnie could see his sleeve. “It ripped,” he said sadly, poking a finger into the quite sizable hole.

“Oh.” Donnie inwardly sighed in relief that Leo wasn't hurt physically. Only he was hurt mentally and that was much, much harder for Donnie to fix on his own. He shuffled awkwardly for what was probably too long of a moment, trying to cobble together something soothing to say. He finally settled on, “Well, it doesn't look that bad. I'm sure we can get it stitched back up.”

“But then we won't match!” Leo shouted, sounding really torn up about it.

And the thing was, Donnie understood why.

He knew how much Leo loved matching with him, because Donnie liked matching with Leo, just as much. Maybe even more.

Honestly, it had never even occurred to him just how much it mattered until now.

But it did matter.

So much.

As cheesy as it was, wearing those hoodies around had been their way of physically proving they were twins. That they belonged together. That even if they fought or argued or made each other mad that they still choose each other as their other half.

So to see that symbol of their bond severed in such a way… yeah it was pretty upsetting for him too if he was being honest.

It was so important to Leo he’d risked capture over losing this incredibly valuable piece of their connection.

For a moment Donnie just stared at his twin brother. And stared and stared and stared.

Then he turned on his heels and marched straight over to the nearest trash pile littering the sewer tunnel, Leo just watching in growing confusion. He dug around a bit before pulling out the sharpest object he could find, using it to slice through the sleeve of his hoodie.

“Wha- Donnie!” Leo squeaked, rushing to check on his genius brother, who it seemed had completely lost his mind.

But Donnie just gently grabbed his wrist and guided his arm till it was side by side with his, showing off the two identical rips in the arms of their hoodies. “Now we match again. Happy?”

Leo blinked, eyes flickering between the two torn holes in disbelief. But his bewilderment soon turned to giggles, laughing at the complete absurdity of such a ridiculous solution. He pressed his head against Donnie’s shoulder and his twin released his hand to give him a proper hug. “Weirdo,” Leo teased, voice warm with affection.

Donnie rolled his eyes but smiled. “Better a weirdo than a dumdum,” he said, equally as fond, rubbing a hand up and down Leo’s carapace the way he knew he liked.

That made Leo laugh harder and cling just a little bit closer. Donnie felt his chest warm, though he wouldn’t admit it out loud. And then because he maybe wanted to make Leo even happier, he offered, “Do you want to sneak back in later and steal those unicorn backpacks as revenge?”

Leo abruptly broke off the hug so he could grin mischievously at his twin. “Heck yes!”

Donnie smirked back, knowing without any kind of mirror that it was a perfect match to Leo’s.

Exactly as it should be.

A/N: For anyone wondering the shopkeep was based off Vic aka Spider Bytez from the 2012 series (or at least that's what I know him from since it's the only other series I've seen) I thought he fit the role pretty well though his design I imagine being a lot different to better fit the Rise style. And y'know he doesn't turn into a spider mutant *ahem*

What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

Hmm, that's so hard! There are so many different dynamics I enjoy across multiple iterations, so it's hard to pick just a few.

With rise, I love basically any dynamic involving Leo, but I'll list some of my favorites:

Leo and Donnie- duh, disaster twins! I like when they are depicted as such close siblings who truly understand each other without the need for words. It reminds me of my relationship with my sister and makes me smile. :)

Leo and Raph- this duo doesn't get put together a lot when it's not soul-crushing post-invasion angst, but I really enjoy seeing them work together and protect each other. They're both so brave, and yet, so scared.

Leo and Mikey- I go crazy for fanart of these two together! They're so bright and happy and the art of them together is always gorgeous! I love it when their dynamic allows them to be genuine and vulnerable with each other, that's so special to me!

Leo and Splinter- daddy issues lol. Ok but seriously, I think it is super interesting to read fics that explore their interactions. I love the idea of Leo being most like Splinter and how complex these two characters are. The way they both seem to misplace their care for their family and make mistakes is so heartbreaking, and seeing them be vulnerable about it to make amends makes me wanna sob into a pillow.

Leo and Usagi- I fell down the Leoichi hole pretty early on in my introduction to the fandom, so this dynamic is forever one of my favorites. I like the range this duo has, I think there are just infinite possibilities on what they can look like and I like that open-endedness. Enemies to lovers? Friends to lovers? Childhood friends to lovers? ArrogantxArrogant? CalmxAnxious? Slowly realizing you're gay and coming out to your family? Platonic? The leoichi fics have got it all, my friend.

In terms of a wider range of tmnt dynamics, here are some other favs from a variety of iterations:

Raph and Leo (mutant mayhem)

Mikey and Raph (2012)

Donnie and Mikey (rottmnt)

Draxum and the turtles (rottmnt)

Raph and Casey (mutant mayhem) (ok wait i know Casey doesn't exist in this iteration yet but the FICS. THE FICS ARE SO GOOD)

Splinter and April (any iteration)

And that's about it! I think if I say any more I'll just be saying I like every dynamic, so I better stop there, but I think you get the jist- one of my favorite things about tmnt is the many dynamics! Thank you so much for the ask! :D

What are some of your favorite character relationships/dynamics in TMNT, and why? Is there anything that you particularly like seeing explored with them in fan works (art, writing, comics, etc)?

Yay! Finally, it's my turn to answer this question!!!Thanks for asking!!!

I really like the dynamic when two characters who fight with each other all the time, but when there's a common enemy, they suddenly become an unstoppable team because they just know each other so well! So, the A-team duo just naturally became my favorite dynamic. But in rise,my favorite is disaster twin!

And my sister likes the B-team duo in all TMNT iterations, so I also draw them a lot, as you can see on my blog! I think the dynamic between Donnie and Mikey has never changed. They're like the type two brothers who always support each other. (I love the scene in TMNT 1990 when Raph and Leo are arguing, and Mikey and Donnie say: "Fight?" "Fight." "Kitchen?" "Kitchen." Then they just sit in the kitchen, eating chips while watching their brothers fight. It really makes me laugh!)

And Other dynamics are also great, and I like to explore and draw them too!

For the last question, I don't actually have a preference in fan works. Whether it's a funny one or an angst one, I enjoy them both. (But I really want to see more TMNT2k3 SAINW fanwork recently! AAAaaaaa!)

Thanks for asking again. Your question really satisfied my desire to overshare deep in my heart! Love you!( ˘ ³˘)❤

#thanks for asking!#muah <3

uhm... Hi.......nervous laugh I come bearing a bunch of questions

35.) Which character relationships are your favorite to write/draw?

36.) Which character do you have the hardest time writing/drawing?

37.) Do you write/draw for one specific iteration, or multiple?

38.) Do you generally stick close to canon, or diverge from it?

39.) Do you have any TMNT OCs?

40.) Do you give the turtles tails?

Answer as many or as little as you like, and hope you have a great day/night! :}

Hi :] I have a lot of answers!

35. Which character relationships are your favorite to write/draw?

UGGGGGH I DONT WANT TO SAY DISASTER TWINS BUT...it's prob disaster twins. Their banter is too fun. Drawing them interacting is TOO FUN. I'm like ugh about it bc they are overrated, I hate being predictable, and PBJ duo IS RIGHT THERE. But dammit writing/drawing them comes too easily to me that I can't NOT say they're my favorite. It's the fact that they have the potential for the best banter and always seem a little at odds with one another until it actually matters. Half of me does often wonder how much fan projection this is.

36. Which character do you have the hardest time writing/drawing?

I haven't really written too much to tell which character gives me the most trouble. I recently wrote a snippet with splinter's pov and that was fine. I think all of them are equally challenging bc writing in general is hard for me LOL.

Drawing wise, the non turtle characters trip me up. I don't struggle with any of the turtles anymore, but characters like splinter or casey I'm like :| how draw non turtle?

37. Do you write/draw for one specific iteration, or multiple?

While I have drawn some 2003 and 2012 art, It's mostly rise for me.

38. Do you generally stick close to canon or diverge from it?

It's more so the characterization that I try to stick as close to canon as possible. But I'm all about that canon divergence. I have noticed that I kind of self trap myself into the mentality that anything I come up with, must make some sort of sense to canon. Even with something like my rise/Pokemon au which...is an au. It automatically breaks canon. Like, be free, pixel. You can do what you want. So ya I stick close to it, but Ive been trying not to limit myself

39. Do you have any TMNT OCs?

I am not creative enough for that haha. The only OCs I'll be doing is taking preexisting characters and changing them/adapting them into rise. If that counts. But no, I don't have any mutants, yokai, or human OCs for TMNT

40. Do you give the turtles tails?

Sometimes

#thank you for the ask!#:]#tmnt ask game #pixel replies

fic assumption: ... is it cheating to say 'you really like the disaster twins'

Damn what gave it away

I actually do really like all the duo combos - one of the things I like about Rise is the way the characters and their dynamics are written that means each duo has their own unique flavor. When I’m just watching the show, a lot of my favorite episodes and moments are actually PB&J-centric - Donnie and Mikey have a way of hyping each other up and indulging each other’s silliness in a way no other pairing with either of them has. But each duo has great potential for character building and conflict and shenanigans.

The reason why I write so much about disaster twins is because both of them hit on the part of my character analysis brain that produces the most dopamine lol

I actually had kind of a crisis midway through writing Corrupted Upgrade because I started to feel like it should have been a Brains and Brawn fic instead. Uh, I guess spoilers now, and I’m also rambling so let’s reconvene after a cut…

ANYWAY when I had the initial idea, it was always with the plan that Leo was going to go in after Donnie. A lot of my fics start when I get a sort of single idea in my head, and for CU it was Leo making the crack about how he’s not afraid of beach balls, then going in and realizing it’s not beach balls and now he has to put the clues together. And from that idea sprang the whole outline of how the fic would play out.

Partway through though, I thought, well, shouldn’t Raph be the one coming after him? Raph is the leader - in Donnie’s nightmare, Raph is the one who made the final decision to throw Donnie out. So Raph should be the one pulling him back in. And that made a lot of sense really!

…Unfortunately I had committed the fic for a big bang which meant I had a deadline that was at that point rapidly approaching and there were artists trying to draw fanart for it and if I had changed the whole plan then that would have upended everything. And it’s not like I can just find/replace Leo for Raph and change up some dialogue, they would have had completely different approaches to the situation.

So yeah I didn’t do that. And a part of me is sad because I think it would have made a great Brains and Brawn fic! And there aren’t enough of those in the world.

So I guess this is my confession that there exists an alternate version of Corrupted Upgrade in my head where Raph goes after him instead.

I’m not actually sure what Raph’s solution would be, though. I didn’t get that far in thinking about it. Maybe he just kidnaps him idk lol. Like “you are coming back right now young man we are TALKING about this”

Something fun to consider lol

#fic: corrupted upgrade #since I talked about it a lot #I do think it worked out the way I wrote it though #also I’ve mentioned it before but when IMBI is done I do have a very PB&J focused fic I want to do #so look forward to that lol #I love all the duos though

HI MIKEY! :D

I got a few questions and a song rec! (Btw you may or may not be my favorite...)

How are you? (mentally and physically)

Do you ever wish one of your brothers would be their own variation of Dr. Feelings or Dr. Delicate Touch for you?

Do you like sonic the hedgehog? And if so, who's your fave character?

90s or 80s style?

What's your favorite duo?

(PB & J (M&D), Sunset (M&R), Baja Blast (M&L), Disaster twins (L&D), Magnet (L&R), and idk the name but Raph and Donnie)

Song rec:

Type A - Ricky Montgomery

THANKS!

Oh mi gosh, thank you! I'm honored to be someone's favorite turtle!

I've been doing great recently! Aside from the whole thing going on with Yi and... all that, everything's been swell! Doing as great as a 30 year old in his 80's can be ;]

Nah! That's always been my job, and I don't think they'd be very good "Doctors".

Of course I like Sonic! It's been a while since I've played the games, though. I think Silver was my fave? Not super sure. Excited for Sonadow Generations, though, ehehehe~

80's!!!! The bright colors are my favorite part of that era. Everything looks so spontaneous and fun!

I could never choose between my brothers. between you and me though, Raph's got a bit of a lead.

I liked the song a lot! Added it to one of my playlists with similar vibes :]

what song makes you feel better?

7. what color brings you peace?

23. favorite piece of clothing?

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?

also bonus question, (besides disaster twins) favorite rottmnt duo? :D

7) A light pink always makes me feel good. Or an unsaturated blue.

23) I have a corset and a red tailcoat. Both of which I adore and wish I felt up to wearing more often.

30) Ooo, hm...

Probably my mom. Literally, like... Just coming home and seeing my mom makes me feel at home.

Also, my lifelong stuffed animal. When I hug him, I feel safe and comforted, like one does when they're at home.

Bonus) Donnie and April! They're so goofy. Literally besties. They'd go from hugging to insulting each other within seconds. XD

Thanks for the asks!! <333

In honor of 5 years of ROTTMNT, I present: Things I would love to see in Rise season 3+ *inserts Fairly Odd Parents 'If I had one' meme*

Part one of a list of ideas the previous shows have done that I’d love to see their version of if we get any more seasons 🤞🏽 (Part 2)

The Pulverizer. Dude was hilarious in 2012 and to take it even further, the idea of Rise Donnie also having to be the one to deal with the guy honestly seems so funny. Hopefully their version would have a happier ending tho...

TigerClaw. Do I even need to explain? He's my favorite 2012 villain and honestly the coolest one and clearly the Rise guys would think so too with all their tiger quips lol. And it would be nice to have a really serious villain that’s also not Shredder/Kraang level dangerous but still more of a challenge for the turtles. Since Draxum joined the light side Big Mama’s really the only one left

Bebop and Rocksteady of course. 2012 and 2016 Bop & Rock are so funny I think they'd be even funnier in Rise considering it’s the funniest TMNT show

Spike. Rise Raph deserves a pet.

Usagi. Genuinely wondering how Rise would portray him—and with this Leo being so different than the 2003 and 2012 characters, if and how they might still become close friends. I’m now too much of a leosagi shipper fr, probably mainly because I just love their friendship in 2003, also I think bc he's always an adult in the 03 and 12 versions, plus they barley got to know each other in 12, so overall it’s just an idea that doesn’t really click with me. Not to mention l'm so damn asexual I think I just love to see such a good friendship satay that way. But considering how serious Usagi's character always is I'd like to see if they'd change that in Rise to match their style or keep him the same way. If he is more serious it’d be an interesting contrast to Rise Leo’s constant joking and silliness

A musical episode bc honestly come on they would've killed it. And they're all just too musical theatre to not indulge in it at least once. Especially the Broadway baby disaster twins

Dropping the "Rise of the" in the title since after the season 2 finale and movie they have officially… arisen. Since the whole point starting off was these turtles aren't as trained or shaped etc, now that they are it would be cool for them to officially become the TMNT again. Not to mention they finally said the name in the movie so it would really top it off

A cure for the ooze. Draxum presumably could make his own 'retromutagen' like in 2012 and it'd be interesting to see a plot where all these mutants around New York could actually get back to their normal lives if they wanted to. Especially since Draxum had his reformation arc he really should be undoing his mess lol.

A Raph and Donnie episode

A Raph and Mikey episode

Huh despite being leader and the oldest Raph really got the least amount of solo/duo episodes

How they met April bc we need the story around that. Gd we're just missing so much background context from the show getting cut short

How they found the lair. 2012's Lone Rat and Cubs was such an amazing episode and it was awesome seeing what it was like for them before finding a home. In 2003's first episode we also see them find their new permanent home, and having the same backstory for Rise Splinter and the boys could be so touching. Especially being on the run from Big Mama and Draxum. We caught that glimpse of him still in a Liu Jitsu costume as a rat and living in a box. I’d love to see between that point and whenever they moved in to their home. I also think it would be a good reminder of how much Splinter was really struggling both during childhood, while he was starring in those movie yet Sho was still trying to get him back into Hamato business, and then his time in captivity after

An explanation behind why Yoshi is called Splinter, we never got our explanation in Rise… or 2012 either now that I think about it. Even 2003's reason kind of felt like a stretch, even though it was a cute story behind Splinter's owner Yoshi losing his girlfriend. I can’t remember if Bayverse explained it and I haven’t seen the original show, but I think each version has had a different reason they give

Fungus Humongous. One of my favorite 2012 episodes that would be awesome translated to the Rise boys. We know Donnie's hallucinated fear could be beach balls and Mikey's would prob be the Gumbus or some kind of ghost. Raph's could be Mrs. Cuddles, although he did conquer that fear. I wonder what Leo's would be… I always found it interesting he didn't have any special fears like his bros. But there is something about Leo strikes me as the kind of guy who doesn't have those irrational fears or gets scared easily, so seeing an episode where they could give him an advantage could be cool. Although, since this would be after the movie he could see Kraang, or him losing his family, and his insecurities with leadership would definitely be a realistic factor. It'd probably work well as another Halloween episode

Bishop; I think in the movie the fact that female Kraang stayed back was going to introduce him. I think a lot of people know him more famously from 2012 show ofc, but my favorite use of him was definitely 2003. Dude was unhinged and a whole ass machine and seeing the Rise boys face off against him would be so cool. Not to mention he gave us the 2003 Rat King episode, another one of my favorites

Spirit Quest type episode. They have such cool mystic powers and ninpo abilities and seeing them meditate and experimenting with them would be so cool. Not to mention the costumesssss I mean how bad ass would they look in some of the 2012 get ups

Turtles in space and the Triceratons. I've recently seen by other Rise fans that the triceratons might be been hinted to from a shot in the movie with a triceratops skull in the Kraang’s ship and apparently were being worked on by the creators. 2003 and 2012 each did these plots in different ways so I wonder if Rise would approach it as a season long thing or maybe just a fun arc. Either way these guys were made to go to space and seeing them freak out over actually getting to be like Jupiter Jim would be awesome. And again, getting to see their space outfits!

What kinda stuff do y’all wanna see from future seasons from rottmnt?

Updated Rise of the TMNT Rankings List

After re-watching Rottmnt for probably like the fifth or sixth time now, I decided to update my rankings list because I have made some changes. If you see numbers besides the rankings, that is how many spots they have moved up or down since my last rankings

Top 10/S-Tier (aka the best of the best; the ones that made me laugh, cry or a combination of the two)

Rise

Lair Games (+1)

The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle (+1)

Anatawa Hitorijani (-2)

Mystic Library

Insane in the Mama Train (+5) (animation is so amazing and the boys in their Hamato outfits is just *chefs kiss*)

Hidden City's Most Wanted (+3)

End Game (-2)

The Evil League of Mutants (-1)

Battle Nexus: New York (+2)

Amazing/A-Tier (Not enough to make top 10 but ones that I would still rewatch over and over again and that I love and adore so much)

The Fast and the Furriest (+15) (I love this one so much and I can't really explain why it's just makes me laugh every time)

The Purple Game (-3)

Shreddy or Not (+1)

Shadow of Evil (-1)

The Purple Jacket (+6) (Donnie just being Donnie…need I say more)

Turtle-Dega Nights: The Ballad of Rat Man (+6) (Mikey and Donnie are amazing as always and that scene between Splinter and Donnie gets me every time)

Cloak and Swabgart (+10) (So wish we got more Sunita and April adventures because they work so well together)

Flushed but Never Forgotten (-2)

Bug Busters

Man vs Sewer (-2)

Pizza Puffs (-6) (Still a really funny episode and amazing just not as much as it used to be)

Great/B-Tier (Still love these episodes but not enough that they are my favorites. Great but not top tier)

Donnie vs Witch Town (+5)

Down with the Sickness (-4)

One Man's Junk (+4)

How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will (+5)

The Gumbus (+32) (Leo and Mikey have made me love this episode so much; not to mention the animation in this episode is just straight up amazing)

Breaking Purple (+5)

Mind Meld (+5)

Stuck on You (+5)

Operation: Normal(+9) (It's the Disaster twins I had to include it in the great list)

The Mutant Menace (+9) (any adventures in the Turtle Tank are always a plus)

E-Turtle of the Spotless Mind (-10) (sorry but the other three parts of just better in my opinion, though I still love for what it did with Splinter's character)

Good/C-Tier (Episodes that are sort of middle tier and just only good but that I still enjoyed, sometimes)

Smart Lair (-3)

Mystic Mayhem (+3)

Repo Mantis (+8) (Donnie and Mikey aka PB & J duo make this episode for me)

Reparin the Baron (+14) (I love Mikey and Draxum in this episode)

The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek (+10)

Late Fee (-14) (sorry but this episode is just too silly for me now the more that I watch it)

Mystery Meat (+12) (April, Draxum, and Mikey are just the ultimate dream team)

Sparring Partner (+14) (Raph is just too much of a sweetheart)

Mrs. Cuddles (+11) (Mrs. Cuddles is terrifying and I love it)

Hot Soup: The Game (+7)

The Hidden City Job (-8)

Raph's Ride Along (-10) (again too silly and the hidden city police are just so dumb it's bothers me to no end. Raph is still amazing though)

Shell in a Cell (+3)

Bullhop (-10)

Snow Day (-7)

Fists of Furry (-7)

The Longest Fight (-5)

Donnie's Gifts (-5)

Origami Tsuanami (-5)

Always Be Brownies (+1)

Pizza Pit (-12) (Mikey is the only good part of this episode. Everything is is just...eh)

Sidekick Ahoy! (+16) (I don't know why but this episode has grown on me)

You Got Served! (+3)

Portal Jacked (+1)

Meh/Ok (D-Tier) (Bottom of the pack. Not necessarily bad episodes but just ones that are just simply ok and don't have much for rewatch value)

Air Turtle (+1)

Warren and Hypno, Sitting in A Tree (-4)

Todd Scouts

Bad Hair Day

Goyles, Goyles, Goyles

Jupiter Jim Ahoy! (+1)

Minotaur Maze (-1)

Mascot Melee (+3)

Nothing But Truffle (+5) (not as bad as it used to be but still kinda meh. I hate seeing my baby Mikey cry but he was also kind of a jerk in this episode)

War and Pizza (+3)

Hypno Part Deux (-3)

Al Be Back (-2)

Newsworthy (-1) (Just an overall boring episode and I really do not like Warren Stone. This is one of those episodes that I would definitely not be re-watching unless I'm just in the mood)

This was once again very hard to make as I like some of this episodes equally and my top 20 could honestly interchanged. They are all just that good and amazing. Safe to say that I miss this show so much and I am just hoping that we get some news soon regarding whether or not there will be a season 3. Or at least put season 2 on Netflix. If not, then I am satisfied with what was given to us and I am grateful everyday for this show and my beloved turtle babies.

#saverottmnt #save rise of the tmnt #personal ranking #rottmnt raph #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt april #rottmnt splinter #rottmnt draxum #i want a season 3 #so badly #or at least give us the other half of season 2

Aww hi there!~ Can I request some platonic ROTTMNT headcanons with a sibling reader, but instead of them being a turtle, they're a fat-tailed gecko! (have you seen them? they're so cuteeee) 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

they're around the same age as Mikey — the older siblings have their work cut out for them; if Leo and Donnie are the disaster twins, then Mikey and Reader are the Sun and Moon twins :')

Mikey's the Sun: bright, loving, bubbly, encompassing warmth and lively whereas Reader is the Moon: calm, soft-spoken, beautiful, serene.

as "twins" , they share a love + affinity for the arts, being comforting presences in their own way, and are both equally as terrifying/able when they're triggered w/ a healthy dose of homicidal tendencies XD /lh

I just need some sibling fluff (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠) & your writing + formatting is so cute!! can't wait to see if & whatcha come up with!!<33

stay hydrated. that is a loving~ threat. cheers! 💫

A/n:Hi there anon!! I'm so so sorry I'm just now getting to your request trust me I wanted to but I just don't have motivation to do stuff sometimes. But I decided to finally get off my butt and write because you've been waiting the longest! Hope you enjoy and again so sorry for the long wait! Also yes fat tailed geckos are adorable!! And tyy<33

Platonic Rottmnt Mikeyx Reader Headcanons(Request)

Secanrio:

Reader is a fat-tailed gecko mutant with a sibling dynamic with the turtles!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

•So everyone knows y/n and Mikey are a force to be reckoned with

•Dr.Delicate Touch AND y/n together?? Yeah you're dying tonight bud

•Y/n is usually pretty chill and calm and Mikey is always sweet and optimistic but the minute you hurt someone they love, take away something they, or just ruin something they care about they're out for blood

•Long story short y/n and Mikey are a chaotic duo

•Y/n and Mikey both loooooove art so they're always working on projects together

•April:Uhh Mikey what are you doing? And where's Y/n?

•Mikey:We're painting the lair to make it look nicer! Y/n should be back in a minute they're out getting more paint and supplies

•I feel like Mikey and Y/n would be like the "matchmakers" of the family and would just constantly try to set their older siblings up with their crush or something

•I also feel like Y/n and Mikey are both good listeners and good at helping people sort through their feelings but in different ways

•Mikey would have you talk things out

•And y/n would have you do some kind of breathing exercises and calming activities to ease your mind

•Separately these methods are just ok but together they can really help resolve arguments and misunderstandings. Not always but it helps alot

•And for that reason they've been dubbed the "therapy twins"

•They're always using the "but we're the youngest" card to get out of trouble when Splinter gets upset

•When Draxum got on their side y/n took a little longer to get on board with it than Mikey did but eventually came around and helped back Mikey up when he defended Draxum

•Mikey's the "follow your dreams! Do what your heart tells you!" twin and Y/n is the "Lets be realistic, is this really practical?" twin

•Dont get me wrong y/n is all for following you dreams but ya gotta be rational and realistic about it

•Y/n and Mikey made cute little charm bracelets for everyone including their favorite colors, something they like, and something unique to each sibling

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Hope you enjoyed, I tried my best! Also sorry if there are any typos I proof read it twice but sometimes I miss stuff until after posting it
