Mikey and Leo. Baja Blast. The Tide Pod Duo. Although this duo has limited dedicated screen time, they are an absolute joy to watch.
First and foremost, you canât help but notice how Leo does nothing but try to protect the little bean.
Heâll bend over backwards just to keep his baby brother safe.
Leo will also offer emotional support in very dire times.
Itâs just so nice to see them together. Plus, you can tell that Leo loves Mikey to pieces.
Even when Leoâs being annoying.
All of these traits are expected from big brother Leo. However, itâs the other side of this relationship that I find intriguing.
Letâs discuss Mikey and how he interacts with the blue one.
Iâve summarized my thoughts about Mikeyâs half of their relationship into two parts: âEmulateâ & âOutdo.â
As the youngest of the four, itâs natural for Michelangelo to look up to his older brothers. Yet, throughout the show, I believe that Mikey seems to emulate Leo the most.
This thought leads directly into the âOutdoâ portion of my hypothesis.
I've noticed that a competitive streak emerges in Mikey when Leo is in the picture, a streak that I cannot say Iâve seen him express with any of his other brothers, April, or even their rivals. Itâs unique just to Leo.
Itâs almost as if there is some driving force within Mikey that wants to prove something to Leon.
When it comes to Leo, Mikey is suddenly determined to see whoâs the strongest, best, or fastest between them.
(I compiled all of the Air Hockey scenes from the episode, âMrs. Cuddlesâ)
The most compelling aspect of their relationship is that this competitive streak seems to be one-sided, at least initially. It's almost as if Leo feels like he doesn't have to prove anything to Angelo.
Eventually, though, Mikey goads Leo into competing with him, and Leo gives in if not but to defend his title, satiate Orange, and give his antagonizer what heâs looking for. (Itâs a âyou mess with the bull, you get the hornsâ type of thing.)
Why does this dynamic exist? Whoâs to say. But I believe that the dissonance between these two comes from Leo seeing their relationship as âProtector â Protecteeâ while Mikey sees Leo as a rival, or more specifically, Leo is the goalpost that Michelangelo has tasked himself with surpassing.
In my opinion, the concept of Mikey seeing Leoâs accomplishments as something he needs to âEmulateâ & âOutdoâ is a compliment in itâs simplest form. Mikey thinks that Leo is so great and awesome that he wants to be just as awesome, and even better than the brother he respects and looks up to so much.
âŚOr maybe Mikey just wants to knock Leo down a peg or two.
I canât say that Iâd blame him.
Also, do you know why Mikey is the âBaâ in âBaja?â
Because Leo is the "Jajajajajajaja" *laughs in Spanish*

Btw, Iâm on Twitter now and am posting my art and comics and such over there. Iâve been doing so lately to try to save this show. If you could, please do what you can and blog/reblog things here and tweet/retweet things over there to get the #saverottmnt hashtag trending. Weâre hoping to either change @nickelodeonâs mind and bring back the show or try to get @netflix to pick up the series.
When doing so, please use the following hashtags and mentions to get the right peopleâs attention (and if you have more, feel free to add on):

As a middle child, he doesnât have to shoulder the responsibilities of the oldest, nor is he fawned upon or babied over like the youngest. Therefore, he ends up having more of a lackadaisical approach to life.
In his free time, instead of training like Raph, Leo can normally be found reading comic books.
And for good reason! Someone has to be up on the latest issues of Jupiter Jim and his space odysseys.
But, other than being a Jupiter Jim superfan, who is Leonardo Hamato?
If you ask Leo, he's...*takes out a list*:
âPrimetime,â âFirst,â âThe Best,â âNumber One,â âThe Champion,â or some other iteration of all of the above.
...Huh. Anyways...
Of course, the first thing Leo would tell you is that he's the team's "Face Man."
As the "Face Man," heâs the one that turns up the charm when they need to schmooze their way out of, or into, something.
He's the face of the group! It's a very important title, right?
Well, in this scene with Hueso, we learn what Leo really feels about his place on the team.
"There's no team with just a face man." "I'm nothing without them."
Hmm. If he thinks that he is nothing without his brothers, then what's the deal with all of this "Number One" and "Champion" talk?
I believe that Leo is exhibiting a form of Reaction Formation.
Reaction Formation is a primitive defense mechanism that involves transforming one's unacceptable feelings or emotions into the opposite.
"Solicitude may be a reaction-formation against cruelty...romantic notions of chastity and purity may mask crude sexual desires, altruism may hide selfishness, and piety may conceal sinfulness."
Leo has been creating these grandiose titles and this larger-than-life persona for himself as a means to cope with his feelings of insecurity, his anxieties, and combat his self-deprecation.
Gee, forming a larger-than-life persona to counteract their suppressed feelings also reminds me of someone else we knowâŚ
But, I digress...
Behind the fabrications, his insecurities, who he pretends to be, and who he wants to be, the real Leo is still on display, starting as early as the first episode.
He's attentive, he understands the team's strengths and weaknesses, he assesses situations, he comes up with great plans on the fly, and he is a voice of reason.
These are all the characteristics of a great leader.
However, something happens when heâs actually appointed as such.
There he goes again. He's cocky, arrogant, and act's as if he's unphased even by the prospect of loosing his brothers. If this is Reaction Formation, then what is he trying to mask with these behaviors?
Previously, he was masking his insecurities, his anxieties, and his self-deprecation, but with the faces he pulls when he thinks no one can see them, I want to say the newest emotion is fear.
He is terrified of being the leader and floundering under his new responsibilities. He's scared of the consequences of his actions, and what those consequences may mean for his brothers. However, instead of voicing his insecurities, or communicating with his team, he doubles down and falls back into old habits.
The "Face Man" persona is turned up to an 11, and things get worse and worse until...
His greatest fears have been realized.
He has failed as a leader. He has failed his brothers. He has failed to stop the invasion, and they are all going to die because of his failures.
Now he's faced with the harsh reality of his own mistakes, thus he finally faces himself.
"It's scary to be responsible for the lives you protect, your team...your family. But we do it anyway because that's what it means to be a hero."
He may be speaking to Raph, but he's talking about himself.
His words are his true feelings, the same feelings that have been holding him back this entire time. By opening up, he's able to surrender to himself and let it all go.
And it's the breakthrough we all have been waiting for.
What Leo doesn't know is that through letting go, he's able to become the true face of the group he is destined to be.
Finally got around to finishing my 12k⌠er now 13k Celebration Animatic you guys requested. Warned you it would be silly. I know itâs stupid but been wanting to do this since I first heard this audio clip months ago. Consider it my convoluted Donnie version of the infamous âYo Mamaâ joke Raph makes in â03.
Technically this is not canon, though let it be known that Replica Donnie is just as unhinged as the rest of the f!Donnies. Heâs just too tired to make a show of it most of the time. Itâs exhausting being quirky in your 30âs (speaking from experience).
Also sorry for the lousy quality. Maybe someday Iâll learn how to use Clip Studio to make a proper animatic rather than just clip it on Instagram. Replica update should be up next!
(Please note: Post will be updated as I find more resources and think of more strategies)
(Please do not re-use gif without permissionâŚunless itâs to save RiseâŚ)
So Iâve seen a a lot of people still wondering if Rise of the TMNT can be saved.
Thereâs is a lot of hope, especially with the boom of fans joining the fandom after the movie dropped last year, people making more art on tumblr, twitter, tik tok, and so on. But also a a lot of doubt, especially after JJ Conwayâs post on twitter.
BUTâŚI still think there is a chanceâŚa GOOD chance. WITH ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW! Why?
We live in the internet. Information is more then easy to get out now thanks to social media. There is all kinds of ways to get the word out to people. Letâs abuse it. đ
Fans have brought back shows before.
We need a MAJOR push through social media, more fans, more art, itâs up to usâŚand I think we can do it!
Fans convinced Netflix to bring Sense8 back for a finale
Fans convinced fox to bring back âFuturamaâ after it was cancelled in 1999.
Hey Arnold got the jungle movie thirteen years after the show was cancelled
Animaniacs got a 3 season revival 22 years after it stopped airing.
Brooklyn 99 was cancelled in 2018, and the fans convinced NBC to pick up the series.
Arrested Development was canceled after 3 seasons, but AFTER it was cancelled, it grew an audience and they made it come back!
Fans saved the original Star Trek in the 60s with letters.
They did it. Why canât we?
So what can we do?
WellâŚ
1. PETITIONS TO SAVE RISE that we can all signâŚ
PETITION 1 (The strongest one, but the more petitions signed, the better!)
PETITION 2
PETITION 3
PETITION 4 (save the content that was cut/we missed)
PETITION 5! (Make an ROTTMNT season 3)
2. Pester Nickelodeon and Netflix on social media (THE BIG ONE YâALL, THIS IS THE MOST DIRECT AND IMPORTANT)
Be polite, be non-toxic (donât be rude or mean, the boys would not want that, and the Nick/Netflix wonât listen), but be LOUD, PASSIONATE, AND ANNOYING! Ask for DVDs of the show/movie, and then BUY THOSE DVDs!
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THE FULL ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW TO COME BACK, INCLUDING ANDY SARIANO AND ANT WARD.
Sample DM/Letter (but try to come up with your own. Too many repeats and they will ignore it)
âDear Nickelodeon/Netflix/Viacom, I canât tell you how much Rise means to me, and I really love that you put the show on air. But it was not fair that the show was cancelled before it got the chance to reach the audience it deserved, only because of a few bad reviews and a lack of advertising. The show is great, thereâs tons of fans, tons of art, and people, including me, want so much more! Please bring it back! We want the original crew to come, Flying Bark, for the show to get itâs full second season restored, and itâs five season run like it was originally intended. People hated the 2012 TMNT when it came out, but it got itâs chance and now there are people that love it. Why canât Rise of the TMNT have the same? Itâs clear that the creators love their work and thereâs a growing fan base for it. Rise just came out at the wrong time, but it deserves it chance to shine.â
The more personal you made the letter, the more you say what Rise means to you, the better.
As for me? Iâm sending them a picture of Pizza Pigeon with the #wewantmoreriseoftheTMNT and #saverottmnt
Request movies/seasons on Netflix.

3. Leave good reviews for Rise anywhere and raise awareness everywhere you can!
One of the key reasons Rise did not do too well because it was unfairly review bombed before people could give it a chanceâŚso get out there on tik tok, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and ESPECIALLY youtube.
Make reviews! Analysis! JOKES! Support other content creators! When the Rise Reanimated video comes out, share it like no tomorrow!
No one paid attention when How to Train Your Dragon came out, but word of mouth and people saying it was good, made it the success it was. Letâs repeat history!
Anytime there is NEW RISE CONTENT on Nickelodeonâs YouTube channel, watch it, share, spread it.
Share this post on social media, across various sites, use the information here to spread awareness about how people can help and what they can do. Be relentless! (Like Leo in Lair Games)
Ask influencers to review, react, and give RISE a chance without placing judgement.
4. Make. ART!
Draw, Write, TWEET, Make MERCH, Sell MERCH, Make Tik Toks, Videos on YouTube, posts on instagram, discord, what pad, demanding more Rise, spreading the word, and just showing how much you love this show! Not only will it attract attention, but itâs also good for all of us. There will be more Rise content either way.
PLAY THIS GAME!
If you see official Rise MERCH in the while, buy it if you can! Also support as many rise content creators as you can. If you canât draw? Write! If you canât create! Like! Share! Comment! Support each other!
Rise April ART Challenge
Keep in mindâŚthere WILL be pushback.
Companies as big as Nickelodeon and Viacom care about their bottom line: $$$âŚmoney. BUT pushback, whether they are taking down your videos on Tik Tok, striking artists on twitter, mean that theyâre taking NOTICE. So donât. Give. UP!
One last thing to remember: DO NOT harass fans for enjoying other versions of TMNT
Even though Rise is the first and only TMNT I have ever loved, I donât believe in shaming other fans for looking forward to, or enjoying other TMNT series. Gatekeeping like that was what stopped Rise from (heh) Rising as high as it should have. All Rise fans are welcome, and all TMNT fans are welcome. Rise deserves to reach more fans, it deserves another season, and it does not need to knock down other TMNT series to do it. Show them your love and your need for more Rise, without making other TMNT fans feel unwelcome.
Share, spread the word, give it your best shot! A village can move MOUNTAINS! SO letâs do it.
So that in the near futureâŚwe can MAKE THIS JOKE!

I know its been a while since Frozen II came out, but I wanted to talk about it.
This might be seen as controversial
WARNING:
If you are an Elsa fan, you probably donât want to read this. I understand that she is a role model, comfort character, etc. for other people and I donât want to ruin/ undermine that. I hate it when people say bad things about my favorite characters too. I just have some things that I want to get off my chest, even if no one agrees with me. And some of my problems actually have to do with me relating to her.
Here are the basic categories, some of which I will admit are shallow and range in importance.
Marketing.
She is SO popular. I just feel like she is given more praise and outshines the other princesses without any real reason. I think her biggest appeal (to kids anyway) is that sheâs so *pretty*. She has the sparkly magic powers, the shiny beautiful dresses, and the best songs.
Frozen
Honestly I had a lot of problems- her shutting out Anna and neglecting her, running away from her problems, abandoning her kingdom- but I found those forgivable. Thatâs not the real issue I had. I only started having real problems with her after âLet It Goâ. Because as soon as Anna tells her that she set off an eternal winter in Arendelle her immediate reaction was saying she couldnât do anything about it because she didnât now how. She even screamed âI canâtâ, but she never even tried. She had just spent an entire song exploring her powers, making a new dress, building an entire ice palace, and then discovers that she can create life when she meets Olaf, but she doesnât even attempt to see if she can reverse her powers, she just instantly goes back into her state of trying to repress her powers again. If there had been a scene where Anna and Elsa had practiced her trying to bring back summer and she failed, THEN decided that she couldnât do it, I wouldâve been ok with that. Because she wouldâve at least tried- and it wouldnât have worked because she wasnât using love (or whatever). But that never happened. Instead Anna found out that love is what thaws when she literally gave her life to save Elsa and then managed to unfreeze herself because of her act of true love. I wouldâve even settled for Elsa telling Anna about what happened in their childhood which would explain why she was the way she was, and then she wouldâve been able to properly reject Annaâs choice to continue to want to help her. She wouldânt let Anna help because she didnât know what happened in their childhood, and therefore couldnât respect her wanting to help because she didnât know what she was getting herself into. If she had just been honest then I wouldâve been more ok with her, because she wouldâve treated Anna more like an adult, but she ended up choosing for Anna instead.
Frozen II
In Frozen II Elsa is even worse I would say. She doesnât have the reason to push Anna away like she did in Frozen (trying to protect her sister from herself). Instead she thinks it *might* be dangerous and doesnât tell Anna whatâs going on, and constantly leaves her in the dark. Again, I wouldâve found that forgivable- but what really angered me was when she sent Anna away after they found out about their parents. They had promised each other that they would do this together and have each otherâs backs. Instead Elsa decides that it is too dangerous for Anna to continue on this journey because it *might* be bad. If they had gotten to the ocean and realized that there was no way for Anna to get across the ocean and mutually decided that they needed to separate, I wouldâve understood that. I also wouldâve loved it if they had a duet together like Issac Carlton described in his video âWhy Elsa is a Bad Sister to Anna in Frozen IIâ (link down below) But Elsa once again decides for Anna and doesnât treat her like an equal. And then at the end of the movie she never apologizes to Anna for pushing her away and making her suffer. And everyone seems to be ok with this because Elsa was right about Anna not being able to get to Atohollen
Anna
This is one of (if not the) biggest reasons I have problems with Elsa.
I. ADORE. Anna. But I feel as though sheâ been neglected in favor of Elsa. Anna is the type of person I aspire to be- brave, positive, and always loving. But no one gives her any attention. It even got to the point that some people will undermine her and put all the blame on her in order to lift Elsa up. In the first movie people blamed Anna for Elsaâs trauma because she didnât listen to Elsa to stop jumping when they were playing, leading her to get hurt. (which is ridiculous because she was a CHILD, and wasnât ignoring Elsa but instead couldnât hear her.) They also blame Anna for pushing Elsa into revealing her powers at the ball- sure, maybe she didnât handle it properly, but 1. She had been feeling this way her whole life and Elsa REFUSED to ever listen to her, and 2. The secret wouldâve come out sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. In the second movie people get mad at Anna for being too clingy to Elsa and not letting her pursue her own path. What people forget is that Elsa was keeping secrets from her, Grandpappi told her that if Elsa wasnât careful she would be consumed by magic, the lullaby said that it Elsa âwent too far she would be drownedâ, and Elsa was constantly sidelining her. Of course she was going to freak out! Her sister was putting herself in danger and refusing to let Anna help. And for those who say Anna wouldnât let Elsa pursue her path, she SAID that she didnât want to prevent her from being who she was meant to be, she just didnât want her to die. Thatâs pretty valid. Also, in both movies people tend to undermine what Anna goes through by saying itâs not as bad as what Elsa had to go through, or that she did it to herself, which makes me mad.
As for people neglecting Anna, even the people who worked on the film pushed her to the side in favor of Elsa. In the first Frozen movie Anna doesnât even get an entire song to herself, as âFor The First Time In Foreverâ ends up being sort of a duet. And when you compare the musical score and lyrics to Elsaâs âLet it Goâ there is no comparison.
This was even worse in Frozen II. The story didnât have to do much with her at all, as it all was mostly focused on what Elsa was going through. I understand that Elsa was the main character in this film- which I am ok with. But Anna was ignored to the point where it even kind of interfered with the plot of the movie (in my opinion). She was supposed to be one half of the fifth spirit, but we didnât get any semblance of that until the end when Elsa said âActually a bridge has two sides, and mother had two daughters.â I also wish that they had put more time into showing that Anna was always meant to be Queen of Arendelle. Instead it just felt like she took over the role because Elsa chose to leave, not because it was her destiny or that she was better suited for the job (which I think she was, in my own personal opinion). The very least they could do was show her being a great queen at the end, but she justâŚ.. unveils a statue?
My feelings of her rejection only grew when I watched âInto The Unknownâ, a documentary on making Frozen II. The mini series consisted of 6 episodes, and out of all that time only twenty minutes AT MOST was spent talking about Anna. The rest was about Elsa. I would even go as far to say that it went as far as impacting the effort put into Annaâs story, songs, and costumes. Elsa gets two songs that we saw a lot of effort put into, especially âShow Yourselfâ which the entire story sort of revolved around. When you compare it to âThe Next Right Thingâ ( a song that I adore and relate to) it seems somewhat lackluster.
As far as the actual movies go, I have problems with Elsa in regards to Anna as well. (This kind of repeats some points I already made, but oh well.)
Elsa neglects and mistreats her in both movies. Granted, the first one I understand her- sheâs just trying to protect Anna, but she went about it the wrong way. Iâm fine with that. What Iâm not fine with is how she treats Anna after âLet It Goâ. Elsa continues to push her away after Anna traveled through dangerous situations and rocky terrain to get to her. Not only that, as soon as she finds out that she buried Arendelle in snow, she jumps back into pushing Anna away and doesnât even respect her as an adult or listen to her. Like I said before, Elsa decides for Anna instead of informing her or even hearing her out, instead insists that Anna needs to leave despite knowing Anna desperately wants to reconnect with her and the fact that she traveled really far to find her. She then hurts Anna (by accident, Iâm not going to hold that against her) but instead of trying to help she creates a snow best that LITERALLY THROWS ANNA OUT. Elsa only reciprocates Annaâs affection when she dies to protect her. In the end, Elsa learns to control her powers and the sisters are reunited- but because of Anna. Elsa did nothing to actually contribute to a solution. She only realized that love would help her control her powers because Annaâs act of love melted her own frozen heart.
Then the second movie. If I thought I had problems with Elsa before, it was nothing compared to this. The movie starts with Elsa not telling Anna what is going on, then deciding that Anna shouldnât even join her- not because Arendelle needs a leader while sheâs gone, but because itâs too dangerous for Anna because she doesnât have powers. Once they get into the forest Elsa starts to sideline Anna and refuses to let her help because she deems it too dangerous. She even is about to go chase a rock giant by herself without telling anyone- the only reason she didnât is because Anna caught her. Of course my biggest problem is when Elsa sends her away- she broke her promise, didnât respect Annaâs wishes, chose for her AGAIN, and honestly treated her like she was incapable. And at the end of the day Elsa never apologizes for any of it- not breaking her promise, not sending her away, not for her and Olaf dying, not for having her make a tough decision on her own, not for making her suffer. Nothing. Even though Anna ended up being RIGHT the whole time. Without Anna by her side, Elsa did end up going too far into Athollen and even dying. But everyone acts like Elsa was right because she ended up coming back to life, so no harm done right? WRONG. While Elsa got to have a lovely song, a new dress, find out who she truly was, and see her mother again (something Anna deserved too), Anna mourned the death of her best friend and her sister all alone in a dark cave- but still decided to do what was right despite the amount of emotional pain she was in. That type of trauma didnât just go away because Olaf and Elsa came back. And then I had mixed feelings about Elsa not being at Annaâs coronation, but at that point I donât care. I was more upset that the movie ended on just Elsa instead of both of them. My ideal end wouldâve been Elsa reaching Arendelle and them seeing each other.
One side note before the last point-
As for the whole Kristoff dilemma, Anna constantly is bombarded with hate because she ignored him throughout the film, but honestly itâs not just her fault. Itâs Elsaâs and Kristoffâs too. Like I said before, Elsa was giving Anna PLENTY of reasons to worry about her. And not only that, but there was a scene where Elsa insisted that the group needed to leave the camp even though Kristoff wasnât there. That leaves Anna in a tough spot; go find her boyfriend who left without saying anything and let her sister leave? Or follow her sister who might get herself killed? I would also like to point out that him leaving without telling her hurt Anna as well- we all know he had a good reason but she didnât. As for Kristoff, I know he was just trying to do something sweet, and try to propose to the woman he loved- but his timing was terrible. Not only were they off on some grand quest, but Anna was very obviously worried about Elsa and needed someone to lean on- not that he wasnât being that person, but he did have his mind elsewhere. I just feel like he shouldâve waited until it was over? Idk. And I know Anna kept misinterpreting what he was saying, which isnât his fault. I just think maybe he shouldâve waited. But in the end of it all, Anna still apologized to him, because even though it wasnât entirely her fault/ she had good reasons, she recognized that she hurt him. Which is something Elsa never does.
What couldâve been
The other big point. This is one that also hurts me in a way- because honestly I wanted to like Elsa. I relate to her so much- someone who is introverted and suffering with their mental health and doesnât feel like she really belongs. I understand her, which is what makes it so heartbreaking for me, because she ruined it with those two pivotal moments in both movies. (Not trying to fix summer/ telling Anna the truth in Frozen, and then sending Anna away/ not apologizing in Frozen II). I love her songs, I love her costume, I love her journey, I love the movies (even though the second one had problems). She was someone that I could see myself in. But then she went and ruined it. Even if she had just apologized I think I wouldâve liked her, but she never did. Now I have all these songs, these experiences, and two movies that I want to love and connect with, but just canât because Iâm constantly reminded of how much sheâs hurt Anna, and how she never had to really had to face any consequences for her actions. And despite these huge faults she has (for lack of a better word), she is still adored and preferred over Anna to the point where she is neglected and tossed aside. I would give anything to have an Anna in my life, and Elsa just mistreated her.
Honestly what does it for me is 1. How it affects Anna and 2. These terrible decisions that she makes that are honestly somewhat selfish and makes me not be able to stand her.
I never wanted to hate Elsa. Iâd love to sing âLet it Goâ and have it clear away my worries about what other feel about me, I want desperately to sing âInto the Unknownâ because I too long for adventure and want to find my place in the world, and I wish I could sing âShow Yourselfâ with the hope that someday I too will find myself. I want to watch Frozen and Frozen II, I want to wear her dresses, I want to enjoy the world that she is a part of. I want to be able to enjoy Anna, one of my top two favorite Disney characters. But I canât. Because she ruins it all for me- I canât enjoy any of it anymore. And because of that, now I hate Frozen, and it makes me sad.
The first time they used their powers, they saw abnormal-looking blue-green waves all around them, it was later they both realized they could literally see currents of time (imagine: the Lifestream from FFVII)
Sometimes, Viperion thinks he dreams visions of the future. Fragments, seemingly disjointed parts of scenes he knew he never saw but seemed familiar all the same (the first came after he used Second Chance for the first time, a vision of all the heroes standing atop a rooftop across from Hawkmoth and Mayura)
Bunnyx, as a result of using Burrow a lot, gets confused about what events happened at what time. She's very organized and clear when it's about important events from every possible timeline, but when it's about the little everyday things she tends to switch things up ("Wait, you mean you didn't have Louis yet?" "Louis?" "Ah, never mind.")
According to Sass, as long as Luka is transformed into Viperion, the effects of time don't affect him as much, but once he transforms back Luka experiences frequent bouts of deja vu
While Viperion is allowed to share what he sees when going back in time, unlike Bunnyx, some things he will take to his grave
Bunnyx & Viperion sometimes talk about their powers, especially when Bunnyx travels through portals and dimensions. Viperion once said:"Sometimes, I wish I could travel to the future too." Bunnyx only shook her head and quietly whispered:"Don't."
Bunnyx would sometimes tease Luka for events she saw would happen, she never tells him anything that might change the timeline, Luka knows not to ask, but Luka would tease her back by saying:"You're lucky I have Second Chance, that [insert event] was embarrassing, Alix." Bunnyx:"What? What event? What happened?" Luka just keeps his mouth shut
Sass and Fluff are buddies, but Sass finds it hard to communicate with the rabbit, more so because he can barely tell time apart and is hyperfocused on it constantly. Sass forces him to meditate with him, his thoughts get better, but time always has him in a vice
The one time Bunnyx left her pocket watch unsupervised was the time the world almost ended and the dinosaurs came back ("Chat Noir!" "I was only trying to correct Plagg's mistake!")
Chat Noir was banned for life from ever using either the Snake or the Rabbit miraculous (everyone's orders)
Whenever Luka or Bunnyx spend an unusual amount of time with anyone from the team, just hanging out and being with them, the others get concerned something bad might have happened (they never talk about it, but the others know)
Sometimes, when the world isn't being threatened, Bunnyx and Viperion try to determine who's faster to use their miraculous in a game of tag. Can Bunnyx use Burrow before Viperion activates Second Chance? (It's a tie, but sometimes Viperion is quicker. It hones Bunnyx's reflexes, so she doesn't mind too much)
Time related jokes. Bunnyx:"Be back in a second!" Viperion:"You know that's a lie!"
