Heavily inspired by classic punk posters and comic art

y'know if you had asked me 'hey rené what pop culture music do you think you're going to hear in the tmnt movie' i never would've guessed the he-man cover of the 4 non blonde's 'what's up.'

[tophthedaydreamer]

i think in mutant mayhem, donnie is the youngest. or, at least i hope he is, bc it would be interesting to see mikey in an older sibling role. the fun-loving middle sibling who is the "cool parent" if that makes sense.

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)?

Oh yippee an ask!!

I think my favorite character dynamics are Warren and Hypno or 2012 Raph and Casey.

Warren and Hypno are just honestly a really cute pair. Not one I was really expecting, but still one I really really enjoyed. Something about this ex news anchor and magician coming together to form a cute little domestic relationship as boyfriends really good friends and roommates is just so cute to me. I could honestly go on and on about Warren and Hypno (as well as the general queercoding of rise as a whole) but ill spare you on that for now-

Im a huge fan of the Raph x Casey pairing, and it fits for pretty much every version. Even mutant mayhem, which doesn't even have a CJ- (I do however have my own Casey Jones for mm, you should ask me abt him some time) I don't really know why I like the pairing so much, I suppose they just- work. Its really different for each version of Rasey, whether we're talking about rise, 2012, 2003, etc.

My least favorite relationship dynamic is definitely April x any of the turtles (in a romantic sense) (also any of the turtles shipped together, but I feel that goes without saying). April is such a fun character, and I feel like reducing her to just a love interest severely inhibits her character. Take 2012 Apriltello for example. I feel like April had so much potential, but was reduced to a vanilla side character love interest for Donnie. (Simply my personal opinion here-)

My favorite dynamic to see explored in fanworks is definitely Leosagi. Something about the two just intrigues me so much. Its such a fun pair, and they work so well together. I can't really say why I like them so much, I really have no clue, but I just love them so much.

What if in the new Mutant Mayhem show, just hear me out, we meet Yuichi through Lotus Blossom.

Like, Lotus and Leo are hanging out on a rooftop or something and she offhandedly mentions to him something like, “Oh hey, I have this rabbit friend I would like you to meet.”

And when Yuichi eventually arrives Leo is just-

Literally fits into my headcanon that MM Leo has main character syndrome and thinks everyone who gives him a smile is his love interest and/or are in love with him.

I’ve even made a chart with my MM OCs to show how Leo sees the relationship dynamics with everyone and himself VS how it actually is:

In conclusion, Leo is a bisexual disaster who overthinks WAY too much and we love him <3

Oh wait for real? I do hope they decided to go with it because I genuinely got so excited when I heard it dbskdbskdb- Especially cause of how Rise’s age order switch up changed the general dynamic so much (and also because Donnie is my favourite in any iteration). I guess we’ll have to wait until the show releases or if someone who worked on Mutant Mayhem clarifies. Also good point about the voices!

If we don’t get an episode in Tales of the TMNT about how Donnie is the youngest I will be MISERABLE/lhj

I love this little interaction sm

[the-peak-tmnt]

The thing I love about mutant mayhem is and I hope they keep doing it. Have Leo and Raph not fight all the time I like that Leo was so encouraging of him instead of criticizing him. And for this reason Raph does feel like he can listen to Leo because Leo listens to him. I hope I am making sense lol

I think you left out a few words or something in the first sentence, but I think I get the gist of what you're saying lol! Yeah, I also really liked the Leo & Raph dynamic in Mutant Mayhem! Like there was the typical sibling shit-talking and stuff, but Raph & Leo do genuinely seem to respect and support each other when it matters most in the movie. I really wanted to explore that side of their relationship as mutually supportive and receptive brothers in Reciprocity...with a bit of a mystery/sci-fi twist!
