idk man, softshells are vicious
*continues screaming below the cut*
ololololollollolooll— the peepaw multiverse tried to infect me with a sad, embattled f!Leo but my body ended up forcing it to mutate because while I love a good soul-crushing angst premise, I’m a comedy and rule of cool girl at heart. and like... war feels like constant sorrow, grief, unending violence and fighting but... it isn’t, there’s lulls and quiet moments and your siblings don’t stop being siblings even then, especially then
and to clarify, all that weird shit the kids might have heard about Next Mutation, love triangles, Donnie and Venus fighting etc. take it from me, someone who was the target tv demographic when it was first airing, it wasn’t that bad. it was bad because it was just really bad children’s television during 90s Turtlemania. Just real corny shit (affectionate). Fighting dragons with a widow’s peak to rival Vegeta’s, vampires who look like if Betty Page and Prince Adam made a baby in the lycra section of Hustler Hollywood, just terrible fun with 90s children’s tv production values.
however when I rewatched the show as an adult (after finding my soul when it cringed out of my body and across 293740293751 dimensions), one of my takeaways was Donnie and Vee absolutely were BFFs, it’s fun it’s silly and goddamnit I am a little tired of tech vs magic, why not tech and magic? a bitch loves a good team up with unlikely partners is what I’m saying. IDW Donnie and Venus shaping up to look like best buddies too, maybe, hopefully, wishing. but if any iteration was gonna have the besties/worsties dynamic, i’d feel like it’d be Rise.
...
i need you all to understand that Donnie is not running around naked in my future au, it’s just I started sketching before I realized I’d have to design a future!Donnie.
... i mean I was going to for the fun but I just really needed this out of my brain first. so like... pretend he’s wearing something cool pls, thnks.

WAIT I JUST REALIZED THIS WHILE READING SWEET LIKE HONEY
Cause I was thinking over the “waggled his brow bones” part and how it makes sense cause he don’t have eyebrows, which made me think of his future self having hair and how he could technically then have hair not just on his head?? Possibly???
I don’t know, but more on my discovery channel 😎 (I don’t have a discovery chanel 😭)
no no you’re totally right 👀
if his future self has the hair on his noggin just not his face…? BUT WAIT
would you guys consider this a beard? it’s like not below the chin area but def framing the side of his cheeks/face for sure
but yeah even future worn down Mikey has no brows, though the possibility of a future!Mikey but hasn’t squeezed out all his powers and overworked himself may have better odds at in the hair department 🤷♀️
I think anything is possible

In my wait au, all the future turtles like. Settle down and get jobs and stuff. They did their time now they wanna relax and have mundane worries.
Future guys:
Raph- becomes a middle school teacher in the undercity. Before he gets his memories back, he volunteers on weekends. And gets married and divorced. After he gets his memories back, eventually, he adopts some kids, so his weekends get busier.
Donnie- starts his own tech company, and starts making and innovating prosthetics. (Im also considering making him enter a polycule with Kendra's and Jase's parents because it would be SO funny to me but idk jury's still out on that one.)
Mikey- opens a fusion craft store/tattoo parlor. I dont totally know how this would work but he does it.
Cassandra and Leo- take over the Lou Jitsu School on Ninjutsu and start running it. Cassandra specifically works on like expansion and opening new locations while Leo is just happy to train the next generation.
April- I was going to say news reporter, but tbh? I don't think thats a dream she can go back to, after everything that happened to her. Its the dream of an April that died long before April actually died.
I think she bounces around alot of stuff for a while, and lands on studying magic and eventually opening a potion shop in the undercity.
Casey jr.- I think he sticks with the present turtles and keeps helping them be heros. I dont think he particularly knows how to slow down, but i also dont think he wants to. As he gets older, eventually he gets a job working part time with a mechanic. Their name is Car Engine and they start dating Mikey on and off again
Present guys:
Unlike the future turtles, these guys dont retire, so they are still doing heroing and as such cant really open and run their own businesses. But they do get some downtime, so this is what they do with it.
Donnie: I think he takes a bunch of online college classes and gets a degree and starts like. Doing remote work for Nasa. Why would nasa accept donnies strange and unpredictable schedule? Its simply the price they pay for his intellect
Raph: Helps out at the school with Future!Casey and Future!Leo. He also volunteers every once in a while
Mikey: becomes an influencer :(
Leo: tries to become an influencer :(
Okay but actually
Mikey: Does freelance art online, and does graffiti art. Also pursues an online degree in art
Leo: okay he actually does try to become an influencer for a bit, but after that falls through he bounces around a couple things for a while.
Starts doing college classes to become a veterinarian, drops out. Helps out at the lou jitsu school for a bit, but has to stop due to his injuries during the krang invasion. I think he ends the story still figuring himself out, which is okay. Normalize not knowing what you want! He does join an improv club though.
Also meets a particular rabbit yokai who works at run of the mill pizza and they start dating 👀 👀 👀
Cassandra: Starts doing work to help provide opportunities to former convicts and stuff. Specifically, she works with the future guys to get them jobs.
April: she becomes a news reporter. Just because it wasnt what future april wants anymore doesnt mean its not what present april wants.
