It's Wild How Many Characters There Are In The Mutant Mashup Au. Here's A List, Plus Some Extra Thoughts.

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.

Au made by me and @possumsarenice

The book of Bill kick-started this.

I'm not really sure if Jax would actually be fooled by Bill's flattery, but I think he'd make a deal for the sake of his own entertainment.

Imma just leave this bad boi here for now.

Finally got some motivation after looking at an unfinished doodle.

It's still about the turtles because that's what my life has become. The Mutant Mashup Au just isn't leaving me alone so I decided to post lil doodles about the smarties of the family and some explanations too.

The first two doodles were drawn with Nico and Purple's rocky relationship in mind and what that might look like.

Nico is kinda nervous cause he doesn't really know why Purple became distant and doesn't want to make things worse. He hopes that at least Metal Head and Shelldon will get along.

In the second one Purple is angry and turns away from Niccolo, though it mostly serves as a mask to cover up his insecurities. He's not even sure who he's mad at, himself or his cousin. Nico turns away even though he doesn't want to. He wants to fix whatever broke between them, but he knows Purple isn't in the mood for a chat, so he leaves him alone.

Third and fourth doodle is just Nico having a stress headache and DaVinci helping to make it easier. I imagine holding the entire family together by remaining calm is a lot to ask for, even more so if you're also the person everyone goes to when they wanna vent. In a way, Nico takes on a role similar to Red. They both try to be strong enough to carry their family, Red takes on the physical burden and acts as a shield, as he believes that's what he's good at. While Nico carries the emotional burdens of the Hamato's. In this scenario, Orange is the one pushing everyone to work though their issues so thankfully, Nico doesn't get stress headache's often.

The rest of the doodles are just some happy moments between Purple and Niccolo. They probably happen after their heart to heart moment while in the clutches of Big Mama and the Purple Dragons.

If you read all that, thank you!!! Stay safe!!

How hard do you think Rise Raph and maybe 2012 Leo relate to Luisa from Encanto?

Now that I think about it, isn't 2012 Leo kinda like a mix of Luisa and Isabella??

Like, y'all know Rise Raph is under some serious pressure from being the oldest brother. (Taking care of three VERY chaotic little bros is NOT an easy task. Luisa has it objectively worse since she goes out of her way to look after her ENTIRE family. How neither of them popped a blood vessel is beyond me but whatever.) 2012 Leo has the same issue but he's also under pressure when it comes to being perfect. (Isabella outright stated she was stuck being perfect her entire life which is similar to Leo) In the sense of being the perfect ninja I mean. I'm not sure if that's just a me thing or what, but now I'm thinking of those two meeting the older Madrigal's and them all meeting up just to vent and gossip. (Leo and Isabella at least. Raph and Luisa are probably lifting weights or just chilling like royalty)

Alrighty, Meria sends good luck from over here!

New video that talks about the merch for The Amazing Digital Circus just came out-

One scene in it also reminded me of this doodle I drew a while ago-

Surprise doodles I forgot to post!

I was scrolling on TikTok and I just-

Not my video but I just-

The comments kept making jokes about Leo having a strict skincare routine and I just love that idea.

I wanna add it to the Mutant Mashup Au, DaVinci probably did this skincare routine in secret for a while until Blue caught him. Now they have regular spa days together, it's more official once the Hamato clan see the Hidden City.

Mutant Mashup was created by both @possumsarenice and I.

NAH BUT LIKE-

@sm-baby HOW WERE YOU RIGHT????-

CARNIVAL AU - Theatre doodles

An idea for the Mutant Mashup Au made my @possumsarenice and I.

Niccolo and Purple actually used to be close as kids. They naturally had lots of similarities and spent most of their time together building things. Whether it was a joint project or helping each other build inventions as each other's lab assistant, both purple turtles enjoyed each other's company a lot in those moments.

However, the more advanced their tech got, the farther away they would drift. Purple eventually started thinking that Niccolo was trying to outshine him, meanwhile Niccolo just wanted to build things just as amazing as his cousin. It's because of this insecurity that led Purple to bond more with Sanzio.

It's important to note that Niccolo never wanted to outshine his cousin and only wanted to be seen as an equal to him. He misses Purple and the things they used to build together, misses having someone that could understand him in a way the rest of his family just can't. Sometimes, Niccolo wishes he wasn't that smart and could be more laid back like Simoni or Blue.

This all comes to light when the purple turtles are captured by Big Mama and the 2012 Purple Dragons. Both boys are locked in a room and are forced to work together to get out before time runs out but things are not going well. Purple is trying to do everything himself and refusing help, but Niccolo wants to help him so both can escape. It takes a good while of arguing but Purple spills the beans about what he thinks about his cousin, how he thinks Niccolo is trying to replace him. Niccolo is speechless for a second before admitting how much he wanted someone, anyone, to stick around whenever he wanted to build machines. He felt like Purple abandoned him for bigger and better things, leaving Niccolo behind.

The two eventually clear it all up and start to reconnect by doing more joint projects like old times. Both still work on separate projects, but they have fun when they work together like they used to.

Alternate idea is that they still drift away from each other but neither notice until it's pointed out. I'll put more thought into that later but yeah.

I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in theaters last week and I loved it. I also saw Wade adopting Shadow.

I fucking love that idea but I love Rachel and Randall adopting Shadow even more.

I actually CAN'T unthink it now.

Just image: Maddie's badass sister who wasn't too fond alien hedgehogs know lives with one. Not just any alien hedgehog, but an edgy one.

Rachel: "Shadow! Why are flames painted on my car!?"

Shadow: "SHIT-"

Rachel: "GET OVER HERE!"

Randall: "God I love than woman. Also good luck man."

Jojo: "I warned you!"
