something i wanna use when writing teetle xovers but that i wanna wait until i actually watch the 1987 show to try and handle is like. okay. bear w/me here. i want either the 03 or the 12 iteration to be the first to interact with the 87 guys, and i want 'em to initially go "oh great, these yahoos again" or something

except then the 1987 teetles aren't flanderized??? and it turns out that after turtles forever and the 2012 xovers, 87!donatello went "ok that was uhhh really weird now that i think about it, usually we're not that flighty or just really bad at life in general" and did some research into why he, his bros, and everybody from their dimension seem to go into Major Sillymode whenever something happens involving them and the multiverse.

turns out some Greater Power™ or Force Of Nature™ beyond turtle understanding (*cough*writerswhodothe87turtlesdirty*coughcough*) starts acting up whenever the 1987 universe wibble-wobbles too close to another teetleverse.

so between the events of the 2012 xover episodes and whatever ends up happening in the xover fic, donatello builds a device that can help the 1987 universe and those who call it home make sure they stay stable and unaltered around dimensional shenaniganizing.

bonus potential to be a plot point- one or more of the 1987 turtles suddenly goes full sillymode out of the blue while the plotline continues ramping up and anybody who's aware of the stabilizer and what it's meant to do immediately goes "oh SHIT-" and just books it back to the 1987 universe

basically i want to acknowledge the events of the previous times 1987 made a comeback while also working out a way to explain their ooc actions and keep the 1987 turtles in character from their actual show. i think that'd be neat :) i just uhhh. need to get a handle on their characters from their actual show.

idk i'm releasing this into the wild. do with it what you will but i wanna read any stuff that comes of it akdhaisjajs
