E-Turtle Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: When the Shredder returns, the brothers must venture into Splinter's mind to discover how to defeat the Shredder once and for all.
Repo Mantis: After learning that the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy has been repossessed, Mikey and Donnie take a deal from a mutant named Repo Mantis: they'll get to take the Moon Buggy home, so long as they do a job for him. The two agree, but the job proves to be more difficult than expected.

🎃rise and MM Holloween??🎃
Rant/
The fact that in rise universe While the Turtles are cautious like in episode 1 but they quickly do not care anymore cause they usually go out in day. (Rise turtles goes to irl mario cart in NEW YORK OPEN DAYLIGHT, Kid Baxter wasn't afraid of the turtles, Nor the Humans when Rise leo was found out in the open, Repo mantis openly would talk to humans in his shop the humans DO NOT CARE, NOT TO MENTION SNOW DAY EPISODE?? IN THE DAY LIGHT??)
NOT TO MENTION RISE HAS A HIDDEN CITY??? WHERE THEY CAN BE THE MOST FREE???
Is it unfair for the other iteration cause...YEESS??
Sure mutant menace exist but humans just wanted drama and some action to make their lives not boring at the end of the day they do not care in the rise universe. Rise donnie was freely going in a school.
Its so sad but im so happy that The Mutant Mayhem got to go to school even though rise has the opportunity but doesn't want to. This makes me think does the rise fam have a Normal childhood??? (LIKE WHEN THEY WHERE KIDS-) the rise turtles would openly go out in the day light . Kid Rise Leo and Raph would sell a lemonade stand(with splinters help ofc) and People would buy like New york city people??? Hello?? Rise splinter has a Pictures of the rise turtles childhood its no secret to the flashbacks I imagine Rise splinter showing this to the other splinter and be like "This is where i help Blue and Red built a lemonade stand because they wanted new skateboards"
The splinters would be confuse cause WYM you made your kids sell lemonade UPSIDE???
end of rant/
Also this is Rise leo and Rise splinter you cannot tell me other wise.

(Also Sorry for not posting Bissy in collage Im studying IT. (Cause i wanted to make an IRL SHELLDON BABY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

just some random rottmnt details i've noticed while rewatching that i wanted to point out cuz i think they're fun 👉👈
i'm sure there's more i just forgot them lol
mikey sounding genuinely angry and jumping to raph's defense when the others insult/doubt him ("Mystic Mayhem"/"Down with the Sickness")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pre-mutation mrs. nubbins in "Repo Mantis"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mikey's first instinct when they realize repo isn't a threat is to warn him of danger. he just wants to look out for their fellow mutants ;-; ("Repo Mantis")
Tumblr media Tumblr media
leo's little plant pots on his desk ("Down w/the Sickness" but it shows up in a lot of episodes)
Tumblr media
tiger drawing on the wall above splinter's bed ("Down w/the Sickness")
Tumblr media
“Hypno! Part Deux” took place at some point during the “Repo Mantis” episode, since the puppy playground is in construction in the background when april calls donnie
Tumblr media
mrs. cuddles tied the boys/april up in splinter's room (idk why i just find this a bit interesting)
Tumblr media
one of piel's crew members was at the hidden city spa that leo was at in "Bad Hair Day"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
people probably pointed this out but splinter having a body pillow of himself.... 😭 ("End Game")
Tumblr media
exercise equipment (and a wresting ring?) outside the subway car across from leo's, which means it's probably raph's bedroom (Movie)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
donnie trying to hold raph back by throwing his whole body weight onto him, but raph is so big compared to him that he probably didn't even feel the difference LMAO

A nice detail that I kind of noticed was that the Rise opening in season 2 is slightly different than it is in season 1
Tumblr media
When we see inside the Turtle Tank when Leo lands on top of it, originally in season 1 only April & Donnie are in the Turtle Tank but in season 2 Splinter is with them as well.
Tumblr media
Another interesting change between season 1 & 2 is that the group of villains that we see, changes between seasons. In season 1 we see Meat Sweats, Hypno, Warren, Repo, Big Mama & a bunch of Mutant Silver Fish.
However in season 2 we see that Meat Sweats & Big Mama have been replaced by Sloppy Joseph (the mutated sloppy joe that Draxum kept from the episode  Mystery Meat) & Harold (the botanical gardens grounds keeper/ security guard who mutated in the episode How to Make Enemies and Bend People to Your Will)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Mutant Silver Fish also Disappear from the openings between seasons 1 & 2 (maybe to represent the Turtles dealing with bigger, more serious threats?)  however there are other additions  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mrs Nubbins (Repo’s cat) now appears in the season 2 opening alongside Repo Mantis possibly representing how Mrs Nubbins got mutated at some point in the middle of season 1 as the cat actually appeared pre-mutation in the episode Repo Mantis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ghostbear: Peekaboo losers!
Mikey, Leo, April & Donnie: Ghost Bear!?
Raph: Oh! Love the new look! Oooh hey, can I get a quick selfie?
Ghostbear who has also been added to the season 2 opening as similar to Mrs Nubbins, Ghost Bear also mutated in the middle of season 1 when he mutated in the episode Snow Day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hypno: That’s my Warren! Oh, it’s good to have ya’ back roomie/ magical assistant/ friend. Doves! Let’s go make fun of game show contestants on TV.
Another change is that Warren has switched from sitting on Meat Sweat’s shoulder to sitting on Hypno’s shoulder which might represent relationship that developed between Warren & Hypno in season 1.
Tumblr media
Casey/ Foot Recruit was also added to the season 2 opening possibly representing how Foot Recruit was kind of supposed to have a bigger role throughout season 2 as apparently it had been planned that April & Cassandra were supposed to have a rivalry throughout season 2 but unfortunately most of their episodes were cut & the only one we got was Always Be Brownies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Though most of Casey’s episodes were cut from season two she still did have quite a journey with her ending up on the side of the Hamato Clan so it would have been interesting to see where she would have been in an opening had Rise gotten a season 3.
Especially since it seems as though in the time between the end of season 2 & the movie Cassandra has been placed firmly in the ‘friend’ category for the Hamato Clan according to April as she calls Cassandra ‘our friend’.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
April: Whoa! Looks like our friend Cassandra here has been busy
Tumblr media
Finally, the final change between the season 1 & 2 openings is that Draxum has been replaced by Shredder as the seasons ‘big bad’ which makes sense as Draxum has his redemption arc in season 2 starting in the episode Repairin’ the Barron
Tumblr media
Draxum: I told you Carol I do not want to meet your daughter
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Karai: Thank you my young Hamato’s, we will always be with you
Oroku Saki was freed from the Dark Armour at the end of season 2 & went off to be with the other Hamato spirits so if Rise had gotten a season 3 a new Big Bad would have ended up in the spot of Draxum & Shredder
Tumblr media
The ‘Big Bad’ of season 3 could have possibly been one of the Krang or Big Mama as though the Krang were always meant to be the movie’s antagonists we do know that at least one Krang was left on earth at the end of the movie.
Tumblr media
However Big Mama could also possibly be a contender for the ‘Big Bad’ of season 3 as we know that the original outline for the third season was meant to be the Turtles looking for the two missing Turtle siblings & with the fact that Big Mama’s Assistant has been implied by the Rise team to have been one of the two missing siblings it’s possible that the Hamato Clan could have come into more direct conflict with Big Mama in the third season.
Tumblr media
In the movie Krang Prime’s throne was made out of a Triceraton skull meaning that Triceraton’s do most likely exist in the Rise universe so the ‘Big Bad’ of season 3 might very well possibly been a Triceraton invasion.
Tumblr media
Leo: They wanted to wipe out their ancient enemy the Krang
In the 2012 series one of the reasons for the Triceraton’s invasion was due to the Krang’s presence on Earth. A lot of the people who worked on the 2012 series also worked on Rise as well & as such some similarities between the two shows can sometimes be seen (such as both iterations having April & Casey be teens). It’s possible that Rise could have another similarity to the 2012 series by having the Triceratons come to Earth as a response to the Krang’s own presence there.
If the Triceratons do come to earth due to the Krang’s presence there then the events of the movie could possibly set up the Krang as the series next big bad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway the differences between the season 1 opening and the season 2 opening include:
Splinter being added to the Turtle Tank with April & Donnie
New villains in the villain group shot
A different ‘Big Bad’ in the final scene
So it is possible if Rise had gotten a season 3 the season 3 opening might have had Casey in the Turtle Tank with Donnie, April & Splinter (maybe standing behind one of their seats?), a new villain group shot with possibly villains that were introduced in the middle of season 2 or villains that will be introduced in season 3 & a new ‘Big Bad’ in the final scene.

ive been calling these animorph studies in my head for the uhh. couple of hours ive had the idea. i'll probably do the other turtles as well.
honestly they're only animated because having onionskin is nice when doing this sort of thing, i didn't add any easing bc well. that'd kind of defeat the purpose. did add drag to the tails of the mask though bc i couldn't not.
here are the frames individually

I read the tags on the ROTTMNT villains reblog, do you have more any scenarios and ideas for the villians? ANYTHING will do, they’re so fun and intriguing but the fandom overlooks them constantly.
Oh, I'm so glad you asked!!! I love the villains sooo much that I'm making an Ask blog revolving around them opening a bar lmao. I'm happy to see others who are invested.
Headcanons
Repo Mantis
I feel he was the first to be mutated with normal he acts like he gives no shit he's a mutant and we see him deal with humans. In my AU it's due to the fact he was mutated years before ROTTMNTs start. I mean he is not weirded out by the boys, he clearly knows Yokai exists. I have it set so he started doing work in the Hidden City and Draxum saw a nice unmutated human to experiment on and bam mantis man.
Repos trans too, idk man he's my favorite outside of Todd and you know? He's like me frfr. Repo def doesn't strike me as a top surgery guy, but also I feel his mutation helped his dysphoria a LOT because like I mean I've felt that.
Man is also very obsessed with his hair, and uses a lot of products. Doesn't care he's greying but he DOES care how healthy it is.
Repo can and will do drag. (Warren helps with his makeup and wig due to his claws getting in the way)
Hypno
Here's a lil angst one.
Hypno doesn't realize he fused with Doug. I can't remember the episode name, but it's the one in the botanical gardens where we get the flower mutant. We see that humans can literally be fused with plant life and possibly animal life. Also since we know Hypno wants to bring Doug back to life, hes passed away. Given that Doug was Hypnos hippo, and was most likely with him when he was bit, he doesn't realize he's been fused with his buddy.
He just knows his buddy is gone and he'll never see him again. That or he fully knows but is in denial. Warren buys him merch based on Doug as a way to make him feel better, since he's not the greatest at comforting people.
and some non angst headcanons
Hypno doesn't really have a label. He knows he's queer but doesn't care to label himself. He likes who he likes, and that's all that matters.
Hypno does drag a lot!!!! He LOVES doing drag! It's fun for him, and how he expresses himself!
A lil senario thing
Imagine that Repo was actually a fan of Warren Stone as an anchorman, imagine he enjoyed his jokes and commentary. Repos devastated he went missing, and genuinely invested in keeping up with anyone trying to find him. When he discovers his favorite anchors alive and not dead he's thrilled.
Due to the fact we know everyone Warren knew pre-mutation abandoned him he doesn't trust Repo, not at first. After all Hypnos is the only one who takes him seriously or seems to give a shit about him especially after he bungled everything with April. (He feels guilty about that gauntlet situation I will die on this hill.) So naturally he doesn't believe Repo at first. Repos pretty hurt, but man he gets it. These changes are big but he promises he's a fan and even knows other fans too.
Repo ends up taking Warren and Hypno to meet the others, sure they met when Draxum "hired" them but it was just a job and they didn't really to much time to talk after they got into action. I like to think Warrens was genuinely touched to see he has a fan base. I'm fully convinced post Warren and Hypno Sitting in a Tree Todd got Warrent a job as a Hidden City news anchor. Sure it's not what he had, but it IS something, and these yokai? They love him even if he's a worm-

Repo Mantis: After learning that the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy has been repossessed, Mikey and Donnie take a deal from a mutant named Repo Mantis: they'll get to take the Moon Buggy home, so long as they do a job for him. The two agree, but the job proves to be more difficult than expected.

Luci Interacts!
.
.
.
She and Pico can't fucking stand each other. Luci and Pico are like parallelly opposites, if that makes sense. They're nemeses :3 @hellishgayliath
Context! Pico and Luci didn't meet until after the episode "Repo Mantis". Luci was aware of Todd, but hasn't met him in person at this time and was originally going to be the one to get Todd's trailer, until Donnie and Mikey showed up and make a deal with Repo for the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy. Instead, Luci spends the entire episode with Mrs. Nubbins before Repo gives her a different job to do before Mikey and Donnie come back.
Luci does not like Todd as she believes that he's a manipulative person that uses his kindness to get what he wants. This thought is fueled after Luci meets Todd to try and reposes a different loaned item, and sees the giant puppy rescue he has. She asks about it, and that's how she learns of the events of the episode. This greatly angers Luci and she starts yelling at everything, but not in Todd's face as his kindness still has a bit of an effect on her. (I like to think she's one of the least effected people from Todd's endless kindness, but it still has enough of an effect to where she does the bare minimum in her anger, like not screaming in his face or keeping her insults under her breath) At this point, Pico would probably hear the commotion, and would most likely turn into them yelling at each other before Luci storms off. This would establish their hatred for each other, since Pico is protective of Todd.
Tumblr media
And this isn't the push and shove kind of rivalry, no this is full on insulting each other in every other sentence, aggressive glares, and attempted murder :D I'd like to think Pico would learn all vulgar words from her and her bad mouth, that she definitely got from Repo
Tumblr media
Accurate Representation lol
Tumblr media
If it's really heated, they'll start to insult each other's dads, but this is a very rare thing. They're both aware of how much they value their parents and don't like going that low. But if one of them does insult the other's dad, well someone is going to walk away with a scar or two.
This is also a time to explain Luci's physical body real quick; so some moths don't eat because they don't have mouths, which is why they don't live very long. I wanted Luci to have a mouth with no teeth to reflect this, as well as to show how little she uses it. She only opens her mouth mainly to yell or scream and only does it when very very angry.
Tumblr media
Like mentioned earlier, Luci does not like Todd, finding him annoying and deceiving. Any time his irresistible kindness starts to take effect, she explodes in rage and gets as far away from him as possible. This is also prevents loaned or late paid items from getting repossessed, same end result except it's not because they felt bad or gave Todd more time Luci just gets too frustrated to deal with him.
Tumblr media
Luci is also slightly afraid of dogs! Not to where it's a major problem, but she'd like to avoid them or see them at a distance if possible. If it wasn't for her stubbornness and disliking to Todd, she'd avoid Todd and his puppy rescue as much as possible. At most, if there are too many dogs, she'll freeze up for a few minutes before she swiftly leaves. Mrs. Nubbins made her a cat lover, despite this mantis cat trying to kill her at times, and values their chillness and sassiness.
When trying to deal with Todd, they'll converse a little bit away from the puppy rescue because it makes her more comfortable and Todd is considerate, so he'll agree. Of course, Pico isn't far keeping an eye and ear out on their conversations, and I think he'd smile every time Luci gets frustrated and storms off from Todd.
Bao & Luci are actually very chill and casual
Tumblr media
Luci isn't always aggressive and explosive; she just seems to be that way, especially to Pico. She mainly acts this way when it deals with Repo's businesses or Todd, which is the only time Pico sees her. Neither of them have seen each other interact with their dads personally or with their companions (Mrs. Nubbins & Miho), so they've only seen each other's nasty side towards each other, of course.
With Bao though, she's more laid back and chill, still sassy though and her vulgar language is less present. She and Bao share gossip, mainly Luci as lots of drama can happen in the junkyard like reality tv lol. Luci discovered Bao's tea shop when in a heated fit and was trying to cool off. She felt almost immediately soothed by the environment, and it became one of her safe places. Bao did not know of Pico and Luci's dynamic and didn't even know Luci was the person Pico would be talking about. Pico would never say her name when talking trash about her, claiming that "she's too nasty and terrible to even say her name". So Bao would see a softer side to Luci that Pico never did see
Tumblr media
Of course, one of these days they'd run into each other at the tea shop, and it would go something like this lol. Moths are nocturnal, and even though Luci can be up in the morning, she's usually up by noon. And when going places, it's usually the late afternoon or night and it's these times that she goes to the tea shop. I think Pico would be bringing over some dog chow for Momo or gardening stuff a bit later in the day and would see Bao and Luci conversing.
Afterwards, Pico wouldn't understand how he could stand Luci while Bao would probably try to tell him of the Luci he knows, of course Pico wouldn't believe him. Luci wouldn't understand how Bao could date someone like Pico, to where Bao does the same thing, but a bit more serious to show he won't tolerate her insulting their relationship (to which she does not ever).
After this run in, I think Luci wouldn't show up to the tea shop for a while, to where Bao asks if he and Pico could go check up on her and Pico is reluctant to. I think this is where Pico would firstly see Luci's softer side as they'd catch her with Mrs. Nubbins in her cave. Mrs. Nubbins notices their presence, Luci gets angry and embarrassed at being spied on (causing a bit of ripple in her and Bao's friendship), Mrs. Nubbins tries to eat them, Luci progressively tries to stop her, they're all tired, Luci wouldn't say anything except harsh glares and go inside her home. And I'll leave that plot point at that :]
Tumblr media
If asked her opinion on Pico it'd go something like: "UGH! I can't STAND that trash eater! He's annoying, rude, and worst of all, sees that BEAVER as a GOOD GUY!! He even had the NERVE to F***ING insult Boss! He's the WORST! THE WORST!"

I'm wondering how the established rivalries and such happened in the Imaginary Friends AU.
Can see the twins getting jealous when Mikey makes friends with Todd; that's their little brother, but, also....this guy is really nice???
And how would the conflict with the Purple Dragons go? It's not like April's gonna be calling Donnie to help with schoolwork.
I think the twins would get pretty jealous of Todd, or at least suspicious of him? Donnie more than Leo simply of how they're introduced to him (the "Repo Mantis" episode is a very Donnie and Mikey centric episode, and it would stay that way for this au. The biggest change being that Mikey keeps accidentally coercing Donnie into doing a lot of the cannon shenanigans b/c Donnie has little to no immunity to little brother puppy dog eyes lol. also that Hueso is freaking out in the background b/c one of his the twins is missing for three days! and the other one keeps just telling him "he's fine" and not explaining!) So Donnie is very adamant that there's something suspicious about Todd, Leo joins him b/c there is no way anyone can be this nice. In reality Donnie just wants an excuse to not like him b/c he was stealing his brotherly bonding time lol.
As for the Purple Dragons, i think that situation would be completely reworked for Donnie. He's still going to end up with a pretty big rivalry with the Purple Dragons, but i think the way he ends up getting that would be closer to if you crossed "Breaking Purple" with "The Purple Jacket".
Let me explain.
by this point, Donnie is only just started building stuff. Sure, he read every single technology based book in the library, and proceeded to continue that research via a borrowed library laptop. but before they ended up with Hueso, he didn't dare try much more than maybe dissemble something at the junk yard. Once he's comfortable at Hueso's, he starts taking things apart for the express purpose of seeing if he can put them back together. (sometimes he can, sometimes Hueso has to call a repair man and Donnie can watch them put it back together. it's a win-win in his book.) But beyond that and occasionally tinkering with the Jupiter Jim moon buggy they stole, he hasn't started buildign anything of his own yet.
Then one night, he's out on his own, (not exactly sure why yet, i'll get back to u) and he sees this group of kids at a playground building drones.
Donnie is absolutely fascinated.
He's never seen anyone build tech stuff before, not outside the repair dude and things on youtube. And they're people his own age! Building stuff!! and that stuff is purple!!! So he hides nearby and watches them work for a while, coming back several days in a row just to watch the progress. He's not entirely sure why the drones keep coming back broken, but he loves watching them get repaired.
After watching them for a while, he decides he wants to try to befriend them. Hueso keeps telling them both that they should try to make more friends, why can't these people be them?
So Donnie comes up with a plan.
He decides if he makes his own drone, one that's just as cool (if not cooler) than theirs, they would see he's cool and good with tech too and would want to befriend him as well.
Thus Shelldon is created.
for this AU, Shelldon is purely a drone, created via tech, and a hint of mystics (it was only incorporated so Donnie could communicate mentally with him, but it accidentally made the little dude sentient lol. Yes, Hueso is loosing his damn mind over this.)
So Donnie shows up to the Purple Dragons, visible for the first time, with a little Turtle shaped sentient Drone that he's holding to his chest.
(Purple Dragons think he's weird/creepy b/c he's just standing there letting his drone do all the talking for him.)
They let Donnie stay around, even give him a jacket and pretend to be his friend b/c they want to win that drone race and Shelldon is probably their best bet. But they can see how attached Donnie is to this Drone (if he's not showing Shelldon off, he has him held to his chest) so they know they can't just say "Hey, lets' race your drone in a really dangerous race that wrecks every drone that goes through it." They tried to steal it, but the tracker they put in the jacket keeps "malfunctioning" and leading them to a brick wall and not a home.
Eventually they decide to just ask him to 'borrow' Shelldon for the day. (Donnie only agrees b/c Shelldon himself said he was cool with it. "it's like a sleepover, dude. It will be cool.")
But Donnie's still very worried, so he follows them without beign noticed. (Shelldon might know he's there, but he's not snitching).
Donnie realizes what type of race this is after it starts, and tries to confront them/get Shelldon out of there but the Purple Dragons keep him from interfering.
At least they do until Shelldon gets hurt during the race (just a propeller gets broken and he ends up kinda spiraling to the ground, not getting any further injuries. easy to repair.)
And, well, lets put it this way. He is a very pissed off technokenetic (?) surrounded by a lot of high-grade drones. Shit is going down. (Yes, Donnie can be a little badass, as a treat : ) )
It is quite possible that Leo picked him and Shelldon up from this upon noticing his twin's fury, but yeah. This is how the Purple Dragons got on Donnie's shit list, and, as a bonus, how Shelldon came to be! (at least as far as i know rn.)
Thank yoU!

The book had four episodes each told from the perspective of different characters: ‘Mystic Mayhem’ was told from April’s point of view, ‘Donnie’s Gifts’ was told from Leo’s, ‘Repo Mantis’ was told from Mikey’s & the episode ‘The Fast and the Furriest’ was told from Raph’s.
Tumblr media
Even though each episode was told from a different character’s perspective the narration was basically an overview of what happened in each episode though there are still a couple of fun little extra character moments & bits or pieces of info sprinkled in with the different narrators.

According to April’s narration, April met the Turtle’s five years before the series started meaning that April met the Turtles when she was 11 (meaning Raph would have been 10, Donnie & Leo would have been 9 & Mikey would have been 8). This lines up with various tweets from Russ Carney who also said that April met the Turtles when she was around 11.

April also mentions that there’s a basketball court on the roof of her apartment building, we’ve seen the Turtles play basketball at night before in the episode ‘Air Turtle’ but apparently they’ve been playing basketball together since they were kids. They’ve also been going out into the surface since they were at least around the ages of 10, 9 & 8.

April apparently finds Leo really funny & she also apparently laughs at his jokes all the time which fits with how throughout the show we’ve seen that Leo & April actually have a similar sense of humour
Tumblr media
Leo: Looks like these fish are, wait for it you’re gonna love this, all washed up!
Tumblr media
April: Sorry Kendra looks like your computers, wait for it, wait for it, crashed!

In the book April hears Draxum note that the Oozesquitoes have enough ooze/ mutagen in them to each mutate at least two different people.

The weapon that April uses in the first episode is called a shillelagh.

Leo: And who doesn’t love my one liners? They fire up the team! Right, guys?
Mikey & Raph: ...
Leo: Anyway!
When Raph & Mikey don’t respond when Leo asks about his jokes, he pretends that they didn’t hear him.

According to Mikey Repo’s junkyard/ the junkyard that he & Donnie go to in the episode Repo Mantis is apparently located in Queens

Mikey: The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy!
Donnie: Featured in not one! Not two! But sixty sequels of Jupiter Jim’s Last Trip to the Moon! 
The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy apparently has its own song & Donnie & Mikey were singing it on the way to Repo’s junkyard after they managed to get the RV from Todd.
