i think dsmp fandom disconnect is so funny sometimes bc the way cinniters talk about cdream fans you’d think we’re malding about how ctommy sucks cdream was right etc etc etc and meanwhile dreblr is over here like “guys it’s dreggs Monday!” “guys friendly reminder that cdream is canonically hot and has a fat ass” “guys here’s another cdream Drabble! He suffers more in this one :)”

No no you don't understand the evil abuse apologist are uuuuh woobifying c!Dream by saying he is deserving of having children, breaking boundaries by sexualizing dreamwastaken's self-insert and uuuh more woobifying of a child abuser which is immoral actually don't you know villain angst is evil.

So... I'm putting this out there for starved readers and to hurt all of you more.

Depending on my computed timeline the entirety of the 2012 series happened in the span of about 3 years

The first few episodes of season 5 happened int he span of a few months before September of 2015.

The episodes where 2012 Leo was still alive are The one where Shredder is revived (Scroll of the Demogorgon, The Forgotten Swordsman, Heart of Evil, End Times) The one where Chompy's mama went to earth and also lord dregg and the neutralizer (When Worlds Collide Part 1 and Part 2) and finally, the one with Usagi (Yojimbo, Osoroshi no Tabi, Kagayakei! Kintaro)

Meaning all other episodes after that (The Halloween one with Renet and Savanti Romero, and another crossover with 1987 now with 1987 Shredder), Leo is gone.

Now imagine Renet going back to ask for help from the turtles and find Leo gone. She's confused because she wasn't aware of it. She didn't know it could even happen. Sbe said Leo was supposed to be alive, in every other timeline she looked at he was alive, but he was gone.

Now imagine the absolute horror on the 1987 turtles' faces when they came back to 2012 to see that their Leonardo is gone.

Not just gone but dead.

Doesn't that hurt? Being the only versions of yourselves to lose a father and a brother?

You'd think Casey Jones would Fight the Turtles again if he's Dumb enough to believe Lord Dregg, who said they are the "Terrorists"

(but i'm glad that never happen because i like to think casey jones is not too stupid to fall for an obviously evil alien overlord)

Kind of a “what if?” question but I’m curious to know, how do you think Dani would’ve been like if she was with the Turtles, April, and Casey on there space adventure. What kind of arc would she go through, her dynamic with some of the alien characters, etc.

I've had this what if idea in my mind when I started rewatching the space arc a while back, so here's what I think Dani's role would be like (so far)...

Like everyone, Dani would be very upset about losing everyone (especially Slash) and the destruction of Earth. She's in shock, maybe disbelief, when the ship time travels six months back, which means that she, the Turtles, April, and Casey have another chance to save the planet, along with their friends and family.

Her spacesuit is very similar to April's, but green. She has a space sword that is also the same color.

I think she would be with Raph and Casey when they arrive at Varanon in Beyond the Known Universe.

In The Moon of Thalos 3, Dani remembers her time with Newtralizer when she meets Mona and Sal Commander. Despite her bad experience with him, she agrees with Raph on his plan to team up with them. However, she stays with the group until the three arrive. She is a big Ramona shipper at the end!

During the Riddle of the Ancient Aeons episode, Dani gets angry at Leo, the two get in an argument which includes her accusing him of "not trusting her", just as he didn't trust Slash. She does apologize to him in the end.

Like Leo, Dani would go to the Holo room to speak to a simulator(Slash).

She does stay with April and Casey on the ship during some episodes because she's human. (the beginning of Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind and War for Dimension X for example)

In the Evil of Dregg, while she is surprised that Mona and Sal Commander betrayed everyone, Dani was willing to give them a second chance, just as the Turtles did for her and Slash. (She's glad to be friends with Mona who is another girl that wields swords. There would be quite a few interactions between the two during that episode)

In The Ever Burning Fire, Dani and Raph watch an egg hatch into a baby alien turtle, later named Chompy Picasso. She stays with April and Casey to watch the baby while the Turtles try to get the piece of the Black Hole Generator.

In Earth's Last Stand, Dani defends the Fugitoid after he confesses. ("You gave me a chance, why can't you do the same for him?") She gets angry when Leo does a suicidal attack, but is relieved that he is alive. Later, Dani pleads to Fugitoid, asking him to come to Earth with them, but he refuses and ejects the group. Dani helps her past self fight the Triceraton soldiers while the Turtles fight Mozar. When Fugitoid takes the Black Hole Generator and sacrifices his life, Dani mourns for him deeply. Although past Dani doesn't understand what happened, she comforts her. (sort of like the scene in Multiverse of Madness with the two Wandas) After the past Turtles, April, Casey, and Dani leave with past Fugitoid, Dani finally reunites with Slash (who was also confused) and hugs him, teary eyed. She and Raph tell him that there's many stories to tell later. The ending with them walking home would be the same as the chapter in Tales of Dani (with Slash seeing Hob's shadow and remembering the night of his fight with him).

That's all I have for now.

“A Turtle in Time”

Season 10, Episode 4 First US Airdate: October 5, 1996

The Ninja Turtles of the past travel to the present to save the lives of their current-day counterparts.

The tenth season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continues with “A Turtle in Time”. This episode, written by Jeffrey Scott, is the second chapter of a three-part adventure which began with “The Power of Three”.

We begin with a “Previously on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” recap that rushes through the events of the prior episode. Curiously, this is comprised of entirely new dialogue and animation rather than utilising clips from the show itself. After that we pick up where we left off, with Lord Dregg in the process of using the mutagen siphoned from the Turtles to absorb their power, while also robbing Shredder and Krang’s intelligence. Now bigger than before, and with a throbbing brain to signify his enhanced intellect, Dregg taunts the Turtles, informing them he can see their memories as well as Krang’s. The same can’t be said of Shredder, who used his gauntlets to sever his connection to the conversion machine before the procedure could take place.

With the transfer completed, the severely weakened Turtles attempt to take on Dregg, who in addition to absorbing their strength now possesses their ninja skills. After being defeated, the team are placed in a set of energy cages alongside Krang and April. Shredder, however, has gone missing, and re-emerges at an opportune moment to free the now-dying Krang. The pair go on to launch an attempt to escape from the ship. Meanwhile April uses her Turtlecom to reach Carter, informing him of their predicament.

Shredder is in the process of setting co-ordinates to return to Earth when Dregg arrives to stop him, his enlarged brain taking on the appearance of Krang to signify to us that a duplicate of the Dimension X warlord’s mind resides within his own. Given how much time Krang has spent with Shredder over the years, Dregg can anticipate exactly what Shredder will do. Shreds points out that despite this Dregg can’t read the minds of his own minions, and uses the carelessness of the bat-men to take advantage of one of them blowing a hole in the side of the ship: In the commotion that follows, he utilises the transporter to return with Krang to Earth. The two villains arrive in the nuclear power plant where Dregg had set up shop, fighting off more of his minions and covertly placing a control chip on a system motherboard as an act of sabotage before escaping.

Back aboard his ship, Dregg draws upon the intellect of Krang to consider evil schemes he can use to take over the world. (This is an odd choice of action given that Dregg’s obviously been far more successful in both world domination and defeating the Turtles than either of his predecessors – we discussed this in a previous Turtlethon entry and I believe Shredder and Krang’s win/loss record over the course of the series was something like 2-120.) The show is fixated on virtual reality and simulations this season, and so Dregg has his computer display the results of a scenario in which the vortex transporter is used to transport a piece of the sun into the heart of Earth’s cities. Intent on holding the people of Earth to ransom by burning their cities, he reveals to Mung that if humanity refuses to comply, he’ll turn the entire planet into a second sun, before using the same approach on every other populated planet in the galaxy. The villain orders Mung to target “the largest city in the United States” - the show has never fully gotten over the aversion it picked up a few seasons in about outright saying that the Turtles live in New York – and the plan begins to be implemented as act one ends.

When we return, we’re... still workin’ on the plan, I guess, but Mung reveals that the vortex transporter isn’t working. Krang’s intellect informs Dregg that he’s underestimated the intelligence of Shredder, which is a very un-Krang-y thing to say given that he spent the first seven seasons of the show calling the guy a bonehead (or variations thereof) in almost every episode. Footage is relayed of Shredder taking the subspace amplification chip from the transporter’s motherboard, preventing anything being moved a distance greater than 1,000 miles. Dregg is furious, but Mung suggests an alternate strategy in which they instead dematerialise one hundred tons of steel from Earth’s structures, shipping it to the power plant where the microbots will use it to create an invasion force that can take over the planet.

Carter tracks the vortex transporter to the nuclear power plant. Sneaking inside, he teleports himself onto the Dreggnaught. The ally of the Turtles attempts to free them, but Dregg’s forces are too great, and so he returns to Earth to draw up a new plan. Elsewhere, Shredder fights off a pair of bat-men before breaking into a research lab, intent on saving the rapidly ailing Krang.

In the Lair, Carter laments the loss of his mutant powers, which would have been useful in fighting off Dregg’s forces to free the Turtles. Splinter points out to him that Donatello’s ray “only neutralised the mutagen”, his genes still permanently altered. The team’s sensei tells Carter that “when the power is needed, the power will be there”.

Seeing that the Turtles are gravely ill, April feigns being unable to breathe, tricking one of the bat-men who are acting as guards. After electrocuting him she frees the Turtles, cajoling them into a nearby ventilation shaft. Back in the Lair, Carter is still moping about his current situation until a conversation with Splinter encourages him to embrace the concept of time itself. Bouncing a radio message off a star 10,000 light years away – a trick he performs by looking up an internet search engine on Donatello’s PC – Carter summons Landor and Merrick, the resistance warriors who battled Dregg’s regime twenty years in the future in the season nine episode “Carter, the Enforcer”. He explains to the rebel duo that he needs to provide the Turtles with a transfusion from “four live mutant Turtles”. (The word “blood” isn’t used, presumably for the same reason that Morbius craved “plasma” in the Spider-Man cartoon around this time.) Since to my recollection there’s only one other living mutant Turtle in this continuity and it’s Slash, who hasn’t been seen since season seven, this presents a problem. The way Carter has elected to resolve this is hella convoluted and will require us to retread events covered in a previous Turtlethon entry, so bear with me as I break this down.

Carter asks Landor and Merrick to retrieve “the Turtles of the past” so that they can provide the necessary transfusion for their present-day counterparts. Because nothing’s ever easy and just to RAISE THE STAKES a little more, Landor explains that the presence of two sets of Turtles at one point in time will set up a time warp paradox – the past Turtles must be returned to their own time within 24 hours, or both groups of Turtles will cease to exist. Believe it or not, there’s something of an in-universe precedent for this as the green teens faced a similar predicament in season 5’s “Once Upon a Time Machine” when they travelled to the year 2036 to meet their future selves, risking the destruction of both the future and the past if they stayed too long.

Landor and Merrick head back to the climax of season eight’s finale, “Turtle Trek”. As you may recall, the Turtles were sent on a wild goose chase by an alien named Gargon who had secretly been manipulated by Shredder into placing the green teens in danger. After the Turtles were lured into the clutches of a tentacled monster in Dimension X, Shredder emerged from the Technodrome wielding an enormous cannon. He would go on to be defeated by the Turtles in the original chain of events but it’s here that we jump back into things, with the cannon being blown up as Mikey and Leo toss Shredder into the vat of glop. In a nice touch as these events unfold the instrumental version of the original TMNT theme song plays to emphasise that this is taking place in the past, although technically by this point in the series it had been abandoned.

Michaelangelo and Leonardo are understandably confused by the arrival of two strangers who at this point in the timeline they’re entirely unfamiliar with. Immediately events begin to diverge as Shredder pops up from the bottom of the vat with a huge bazooka – was he keeping it there just in case, in the goo? - and obliterates the platform the Turtles are standing on, forcing them to cling to the edge. Raphael and Donatello arrive to provide backup but are similarly perplexed by the two newcomers standing in their way. Before the time-travellers can explain the current situation Krang shows up, accompanied by a rifle-wielding Foot Soldier who knocks the other two Turtles off the platform. All four members of the team lose their grip, plummeting towards the ground as Landor and Merrick transport them out of danger and into the future.

The Turtles of season eight arrive in the lair of season ten, where they’re introduced to Carter, who they’re yet to meet in the linear passage of time. Landor assures them that they will know Carter “in exactly two years and fifteen days”. It’s not clear if he’s implying that this is how long has passed between the end of season eight and now, or if it’s how long passes between their encounter with Gargon and first interaction with Carter. I’m inclined to believe it’s the former, as a two-year time skip between seasons eight and nine would be just... bonkers.

[NOTE: For the record, two years and fifteen days doesn’t add up to the amount of time between the original airdates of “Turtle Trek” and “A Turtle in Time”, the real gap being one year and eleven months. If we’re really going all-in on this and assuming the adventures of the Turtles have taken place in real-time, two years and fifteen days having passed is closer to the commencement of the Red Sky era in “Get Shredder!”, but hey, points for effort I guess – attempting to orchestrate this kind of thing accurately given the lead-times for television animation would be incredibly difficult.]

Landor and Merrick explain the current situation to the past Turtles, before leaving to return to their own time. Elsewhere, Mung and Dregg carry out their steel-theft scheme, destroying bridges and other structures. Back in the research lab, Shredder has provided a transfusion of his own life energy that has revived Krang, and the two begin plotting to strike back against Dregg. Unfortunately for them Krang’s bubble walker is one of the steel sources teleported away, as is the structure of the building they’re standing in, which begins to crumble around them. Act two ends with the past Turtles and Carter crossing a bridge as it teleports out of existence, causing the vehicle to tumble towards the water below.

We open the final act with the van landing in a trash barge, which luckily for the Turtles is heading in the direction of the power plant. Inside the facility Mung is seen ordering the microbots to convert the stolen steel into invasion craft for Lord Dregg, while aboard the Dreggnaught the present-day Turtles join April in seeking out the ship’s transporter room. By accident they instead end up in the fusion engine area, the vent shutting behind them and closing off their only means of escape: Donatello points out that should Dregg activate the ship’s engines, it’ll mean their certain demise.

Carter and the past Turtles infiltrate the power plant and use the transporter to board the Dreggnaught. The green teens find themselves face-to-face with Lord Dregg for what for them is the first time, an enemy that from their perspective in season eight they have no prior knowledge of. Carter intervenes to save Leonardo and Donatello from being blasted by Dregg, and after winding up in the line of fire himself manages to wilfully trigger his mutation. In the battle between the two that follows the engines are momentarily activated, only to be unwittingly shut down again thanks to the actions of the past Turtles.

Donatello instructs April to redirect the fusion stream into the engine wall, generating an explosion that blows a hole in the room, providing both her and the present-day Turtles with a means of escape. The resulting impact also temporarily incapacitates Dregg, allowing Carter to toss him inside moments before a second blast occurs.

For the first time, the past Turtles come face-to-face with their present-day selves, carrying them onto the teleportation platform and back into the nuclear power plant. Far from being in the clear, both sets of Turtles, April and Carter find themselves face-to-face with the “invasion force” generated from the stolen steel: a gigantic, multi-pronged robot. As with the previous episode, we end today on a cliffhanger with the “TO BE CONTINUED...” caption appearing.

It feels premature to judge this story with one chunk of it still to come, and we’ve covered much of the ins and outs of the time travel aspect already. Instead, I think it’s worth focusing on the role of Shredder and Krang, who have been on the back foot ever since returning in the previous episode. While still antagonists, for us as viewers the good will they built over the first eight seasons of the show makes it difficult not to root for them, particularly when Dregg’s actions lead to Krang being on the verge of dying for much of this outing. While the show doesn’t dwell on it, we see a different side of Shredder here as he goes out of his way to save Krang from Dregg, something even more apparent later when he gives his old collaborator some of his own life force to save him: at this point, having lost the Technodrome, their Foot Soldiers and even Rocksteady and Bebop, all they have left is each other.

Next time on Turtlethon we’ll conclude this trilogy with “Turtles to the Second Power”, as we head into the final four episodes of the series!
