Thoughts on Time Skip in Rise Movie
Recently, it was revealed that the Rise movie takes place two years after the finale. I don’t have a full opinion until the movie is available but so far I don’t like the time skip. I was really hoping the movie would take place a few months later so we can see how Cassandra is getting along with the group, Draxum’s growing relationship with Splinter and the Turtles, and the Turtles handling their new power up. I’m nervous that the time jump will skip over that development. That’s what I was most hoping for from the movie.
I’m still excited for the movie and hope the time skip has a purpose.

Rise Leo Headcanon #2
Leo sometimes rick rolls his family.
He has enough lovable, chaotic energy to do this. He dabs and that is pretty much a meme. 😂 The one he would torture the most is Donnie. His "twin" would retaliate by hacking into his phone and have it constantly play Leo's least favorite songs.
Rise Splinter Headcanons
1. A big reason why Splinter is dedicated to being a good father is because his father left his mother and him when he was younger. He doesn’t want his sons to ever feel abandoned and unloved like he did.
It would also be a reason why Splinter took the Turtles in immediately after meeting them.
2. A reason why Splinter lost his athletic build was because he went through a depressive state. He lost of his motivation and missed his past life. If the turtles didn’t stay with him, things would have turned for the worse.
Thoughts? 😊❤️

ok hear me out- au where splinter actually focuses on training the boys and teaching them about their hamato ancestry from the beginning
he chooses to prioritize the threat of the shredder and other dangers over his own reluctance to combat and, inadvertently, his son's selves.
and instead of being able to just be kids, they have to discover themselves and their individuality later on
Practice sketches and peepaw stuff :,DD

Omg- IT WORKS NOW WTF—
Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.
I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.
Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)
It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human
I made a comic about this 🫠
Cassandra: Splinter, how do I get revenge on my enemies?
Splinter: The best revenge is letting go and living your life to the fullest.
Cassandra:
Cassandra: Donatello, how do I-
Donnie: Brick.
Мастер Сплинтер | Master Splinter
Эта зарисовка Сплинтера из Risetmnt . Да, не очень на себя похож, но мне и не особо нравится его дизайн в этой анимации.
This sketch of Splinter from Risetmnt . Yeah, he doesn't look much like himself, but I don't particularly like his design in this animation either.
Но очевидно, мне нравится Сплинтер из 2012 года анимации. Готов кланяться этому дизайну и идее.
But obviously, I like Splinter from 2012 animation. Ready to bow down to that design and idea.
Лучший мастер, отец и просто мужчина. Женитьбу не предлагаю, но заберите моё сердце. Оно уже ваше.
The finest craftsman, father, and just a man. I don't propose marriage, but take my heart. It's already yours.
Его слишком мало. Надо больше. Такой классный дядька, Боже мой.
It's too little. I need more. He's such a great guy, my God.
final batch of rise color palettes! i tried to include each form the character takes on as a bonus :) i might do more for some villains eventually, but this is all i’ve got for now
note for big mama: there seems to be some instances in which her human!form appearances more pink-ish. but, given that the purple tint is more common, that’s the one used
as always, these are free to use without credit- all i ask is that you don't edit my watermark out

Small headcanons about the turtles growing up 🐢
Rise April Challenge 22: Father
Prev - Next - Masterpost Ao3 Link: Here !TW! Implied Depression and Self Hatred !TW!
There’s nothing that triggers it. There isn’t a grand event that snapped all the pieces into place, it just hits Yoshi one night as he lies in bed waiting for sleep.
I’m a father.
It hits the man like a train. His body stiffens like he’s back in the arena and about to be attacked and he jumps up, sleep gone from his mind.
I am a father. I have children.
His hands shake and he tries to remain calm. But his mind is filled with his few memories of his mother. Soft, gentle, loving. Gone. Gone from his life in a second. Leaving him to grow up without her. She never saw him earn his first colored belt in martial arts, she never had talked to him about his first crush, or been there for his first audition, or to help him pick out a ring for the person he thought he would spend the rest of his life with.
She was just gone. And part of Yoshi hates her for it, for choosing some sacred duty over her own son. He was a child. Did she really think that some story from an old dusty book would be a good enough reason for him to accept being abandoned?
It hurts.
Yoshi hasn’t admitted that to anyone in years.
Not when his mother left, not when Grandpa Sho only called him up after years of silence to demand he quit his career as an actor to follow his “destiny,” not even when the women he had loved had lied to him and tortured him for spectacle.
But now, in the dark of the New York City sewars, rat hands clamped over his mouth in shock at the idea of being a father, Yoshi lets the pain take hold and cries.
He cries for the first time in what felt like years, breaths coming out in hiccups, and he tries to hold himself together. But it’s a losing battle.
God dammit! How had anyone ever thought he was a powerful warrior? How could anyone look at him and see a champion? A star? Not that anyone would think that now. Not with a naked pink tail and shaggy, dirty fur.
Whatever he had once possessed that made anyone think he was worthy of admiration was gone, burned out of him with his humanity.
And then, the world had decided to give him 4 sons. Decided to make him a father. Why?! Why did those wonderful, amazing boys have to get him as a father? Surely, they deserved better. They deserved better than a vain movie star that only cared about his own fame. They deserved better than a chained-up beast made only to spill blood for others entertainment. They deserved better than a sewar rat, that couldn’t even stop crying over a death that happened years ago.
They deserved better than him.
-
Yoshi doesn’t remember falling asleep that night, but he still wakes up the next morning. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next.
He does his best not to be bitter over the fact that his eyes still open every morning, because he is a father. His sons need him. But as they get older, they start to need him less and less. So, he pulls back from them.
Because they deserve better.

Nickelodeon Cartoon Universe released a New Rise Video. Y’all know what to do.
Let’s blow it up!!!
Raphael, Leo, Donnie and Splinter in a small emergency meeting about Draxum's hamster (which died because Leo bit on it and because Donnie screamed and Leo sat on it)
Raphael: How do we give him the bad news?
Donnie: What a mess Leo killed the little rat with legs.
Leo: No, of course not. He was able to throw me off a roof. What do you think he'll do when he finds out I killed his hamster?
Splinter: I'll give the news.
...
Mikey and Draxum painting pictures. Splinter approaches.
Splinter: What are you doing, Draxum.
Draxum: Painting a picture of the family because Dr. Feelings is obliged to.
A more or less decent painting of the family and a hamster.
Splinter: Delete the hamster and you from the photo.
draxum:.....
Mikey:...
May honey, the Draxum hamster that April gave her, rest in peace.
How does Draxum's hamster look or looked here (I call it honey because of its color and help from Mikey)
