Anyone who reads ROTTMNT/2012!TMNT fanfic, go read Rotten Reflections by @nicoforlifetrue on Ao3! Not only is its worldbuilding fascinating, it also doesn't bash 2012 or Rise and genuinely explores their dynamics as siblings, which I really appreciate. (#notspon or whatever, I just really like it.)
This is a snippet from Ch. 8, one of my favorites. >:)

"He never understood before, how snakes’ hisses could scare people or even spook other animals, but the noise the mutant lets out sends his heart racing. It’s not quick, it’s dragged out like a dog’s growl— a warning, a threat, a promise— it’s all of those things wrapped into one long low sound as its shoulders raise, body contorting in a way that pull its lips from its teeth, sharp fangs flashing in the moonlight like the axe of an executioner.
.
He can’t breathe when the metallic mass on its back seems to split open, spider like limbs reaching out, mechanical whirs and piston movement only adding to the auditory threat the hiss promises. The extra limbs seem to stretch, posing like a distorted multi-limbed deity, all turned towards Casey with one clear purpose.
.
Kill the intruder."

Alright, So this was done as a fanart of Rotten Reflections by Nicoforlife that is extremely indulgent. It's also got a lot of firsts in it for me
First fanart of ROTTMNT
First time drawing dynamic poses
First time drawing foreshortening
First time drawing scarred characters
First time successfully drawing muscular characters (I've tried to draw buff might before but I had to abort because holy shit I've been scarred for life)
First time drawing anything fluffy.
So this piece means a lot to me.
The context is pretty much me toying with the idea of the four 2018 turtles being reunited, as well as Casey Jones II, who we all know is Future!Leo's protege. So I thought, turtle pile. Just throw them all into one big pile of turtles + boy. I can imagine 2012 Leo finding them and just watching them until 2012 Donnie comes over and they both leave to give the group some privacy.
Coming from someone who hasn’t actually watched the rise series or movie, having only seen edits and fanfiction, I hope I’ve done them justice. I’ve only really watched 2012 and even then it was only up until the Triceratons.

your first impressions of la squadra vs your thoughts now?
I first saw them in the anime, so these are based on that!
Risotto:
"Congratulations on being so big and managing a Grim Reaper aesthetic out of a jester's hat and prison stripe pants, what is with your eyes though."
VS.
"I wish he had gotten his backstory animated as a bonus because I feel like it would have added so much to his arc and character to make it explicit. As ruthless as he can be once he makes up his mind, I like him more for those little flecks of humanity shining through."
Formaggio:
"That has to be the ugliest color scheme they could have gone with, but he seems fun."
VS.
"He was robbed, he was slandered and he was robbed when he has one of the best abilities out there that I would want in real life, he's just a little guy, just a little birthday boy and he needs to be appreciated more."
Prosciutto:
"TATTSUN?! This guy must be really popular to get voiced by Tattsun."
VS.
"The reason he was voiced by Tattsun is because he's literally the best and he's my forever fave and a major driving force behind me writing for fandom at all, and I love him and his Stand and his everything and I will defend him to the death."
Pesci:
"I am intrigued by your shapes and your Stand."
VS.
"He is a good boy and I wish we got to spend more time with him because it is so cool to me that one of his Stand's quirks mirror's the protagonist (damage reflection). Like, this is meaningful to me and I deeply respect his potential."
Ghiaccio:
"I know this was wishful thinking but damn, I wish you were voiced by Yoshino Hiroyuki. Your Stand is amazing though!"
VS.
"He was really great to watch and I was so sad he died because he was yet another minor antagonist showing amazing integrity and spirit and I love his Stand aesthetic and I'm so glad he gets amazing fanart of it, he is extremely valid."
Melone:
"He's a walking talking aesthetic. A computer Stand, too... oh fuck, oh god no."
VS.
"Still mad about some choices made by Araki and DavePro, because I have since embraced him as such an interesting character with oodles of potential and great to meme. He deserved better than what he got, as did his fans."
Illuso:
"What a smug bastard. Very cool Stand."
VS.
"What a smug bastard with a bajillion implied issues, he is such deliciously rotten candy, he's an asshole but he's our asshole, he's literally so much fun while being such a terrible person honestly, life would not be the same without him."
Sorbet:
"That widow's peak... Very boring fashion though."
VS.
"This is a goth drag queen who was mercilessly culled before his time because he wanted cash in this shit mafia economy for his dream goth wedding. I want him to have everything that the shounen genre was too afraid to give him."
Gelato:
"There is a very uniquely naughty vibe here. Very boring fashion though."
VS.
"He is the naughtiest little devil in this hell house, he is the personification of the >:3c emoji, everyone loves him and is simultaneously afraid he's gonna set the house on fire just for a laff. Adorable."
