I just imagined an age swap au with the omori gang, where hero and mari are the youngest while everyone else is older.
I've seen quite a handful of age swap AUs around and never really seemed to take any interest in them (usually because half of the time it's really ship-based when it comes to Sunny specifically) so I was always really eh on them... but!! I did try to make my own little graph on who would be the oldest, I guess you could say!! (I did get some help in doing this since originally it was going to be different until others opinions came in... heehoo!!)
Everyone is already in agreement that when the baby of the group gets age swapped, they'd now be the oldest..!! So Sunny's is already an obvious decision!! As for Hero, that'd be obvious too, seeing as how his birthday is the first one to begin and also being the eldest, making him the new baby of the group!!
Mari would follow on as second youngest, and Aubrey as third... Kel would be third oldest, mostly because I remembered Sally as well (Which is silly I know) so I don't think he would necessarily change as much..... as for Basil, I do think it was based upon the fact that he was implied (unless if its headcanon) to be younger than the others originally with Sunny as well, so technically he'd be the oldest along with Sunny.

Here’s a thought-
When Splinter says Leo’s the leader at the end of Season 2…pretty sure he was joking.
After so many high stakes and high emotions, he (a bit cluelessly) makes a joke to add some levity, just to make things a bit easier for he and his sons to digest everything that happened. It was a lot that happened, so it makes sense that Splinter wants to make things that much softer for everyone.
But- making a joke like that, after everything they all just went through…I can definitely see how the events of the movie pave out in response.
For example, by joking about Leo in particular having the responsibility of a leader, that puts him directly in the sight of Raph’s building anxieties. Because after everything, it’s clear that Raph really started taking the hero name seriously to the point that he started undermining his own fun and childhood in the process. So in the eyes of a Raph who is so worried about what could happen if they’re not prepared again, Leo in particular kind of stands almost as a point of danger in that aspect.
And with the joke of Leo “leading” in any capacity ringing out over them, it’s easy to blame Leo and Leo alone whenever he goes and goofs off with Mikey and Donnie. I think as well that the concept of a leader being spoken after the Shredder just pushes more weight on Raph’s shoulders and makes him realize how much goofing off they did before when they should have been better heroes (despite them all just being kids...)
Raph knows his brothers are good, he knows and has pride in them and himself in turn, but it terrifies him to know that they won’t be ready for the next big threat, and Leo directly going against this caution even more than usual just pushes Raph to want to try more.
As for Leo- keep in mind what happened all throughout “Many Unhappy Returns.” Keep in mind what happened all throughout the series in general. In the former, Splinter more than once points out how he would rather have his other sons with him than Leo, especially because they “would take this seriously”…even though Leo was taking it seriously. (Not that Splinter should be expected to read what Leo was doing when Leo wasn’t making his plans clear, but that wording sticks with kids.) Even after Leo’s plan pulled through, Raph’s the one who spoke in trust of Leo, not Splinter.
As for what happens in the series in general…well, we see Leo mess up a lot, apologize a lot, get his brothers out of messes a lot, and even when he does well or is responsible it’s either glossed over or still seen as goofing off (no I will never be over that moment where Leo almost got Gus’s tags and got screwed over out of pure bad luck.)
So imagine hearing a joke like that as Leo, who for a good chunk of especially the start of the series has been a lowkey voice of reason. The idea that Leo being responsible for the team is nothing but a joke…? It’s understandable that it could feel like a blow, that it could push him to want to try less.
Especially after everything they just went through.
They’re heroes. | They’re kids.
Why shouldn’t they care? | Why should they care?

Mikhail and Vitali were inseparable; when they weren’t studying or getting into fights, they would hang out at Mikhail’s place to smoke and get drunk on cheap rum and vodka, to then pass out in each other’s arms and sleep most of the next day away.
They promised each other— no matter what would happen— they would never leave each other’s side. Yet after starting university and college respectively, they did not see each other for a little over six years, leaving them both heartbroken and wondering what went wrong.

what's the story between the Pistols and Joan Jett? was she a fan?
massive fan! heres a few interviews of her talking about her love for their music (link 1, link 2). she did a cover version of pretty vacant and shes worn their merch a lot. she even had her own homemade sex pistols shirt back in the 70s
(photo by bob gruen)
when the runaways toured england in 1977, they hung out with the sex pistols during their stop in london. sandy west pushed sid vicious over the side of a boat apparently. after the pistols broke up in 1978, steve jones played live with the runaways while hanging around in LA. jonesy liked the runaways so much that he gifted them a song he wrote called black leather. it appears on the runaways fourth album if you want to listen to it...or you can listen to the guns n roses cover version lol
when the runaways split in 1979, joan flew over to london to reunite with jonesy and he (along with paul cook) played backup for her on a few tracks. two of the three songs they recorded together (you don't own me and don't abuse me) were included on her bad reputation album!
the third song that joan recorded with jonesy and cookie was i love rock n roll. it didnt make it onto the album but showed up as a b-side to her version of you don't own me. in 1981, joan would re-record the song with the blackhearts and thats the version that became a smash hit
during his interview with nardwuar, johnny lydon commented that he viewed the runaways as a fun band. pretty standard take from him as hes always preferred female fronted punk bands over male fronted punk bands
(picture likely taken circa 1978)
im sure joan and johnny had plenty to talk about. rocky relationships with their curly haired managers and being very popular in japan are just two things they have in common
