[ cw: death mention / family death mention / ]
Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.
I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.
Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

4. Bonding!
They are discussing world domination.
Or lab designs. Or stylish eyebrows. Or Donnie is showing off his TECH tech, cause Drax wouldn’t understand human technology as much, and Drax is telling Donnie about his bio tech, maybe even how he made the Oozesquitoes- LITERALLY ANYTHING, THEY WOULD GET ALONG SO WELL IF THEY DIDN’T HATE EACHOTHER-
(More versions under cut!)

i for one would like to know where this "family therapist bearing everyone's feelings" mikey fanon even comes from
to say nothing for "raph and leo were having constant terrible arguments and poor baby mikey was so upset and traumatized about it that he curled up hidden away in donnie's lab where donnie comforted him, powerless to do anything about the fighting" bc like
well the family therapist thing fascinates me but i think i've talked about that and why it doesn't read true to me before.
and the pre-movie raph and leo fighting so bad headcanon stuff, though, bugs me doubly hard bc i would assume that start of movie is like. as bad as it got for that tension. the breaking point. like, lecturing and needling that didn't come to a full head (raph punching out leo's wall and then trying to square up w leo) until leo specifically messed up a mission that involved the foot clan (which i would imagine is kind of a trigger point seeing as the last result of "foot clan gathers mysterious artifacts" was "the world almost ends, we lost our home, gram gram died in front of us, we nearly lost our dad etc").
like. mikey was fine as anything blowing off training w leo! he was having a grand ol time, doing his best lil bro copycatting of leo's smugness, playing the "every time raph says hero take a bite of pizza" game no complaints, no looks of doubt. heck, donnie's fine going along with the goofing off too! when raph follows leo into his room to try to talk to him, mikey and donnie both straight-up have their faces pressed to the window to try to eavesdrop! they both look equally freaked out about the sudden escalation to Big Punch!
like idk the evidence is just not there for me to buy the fanon interpretation on this one. there's no world where mikey and donnie wouldn't get fed tf up and stick their noses in that business if it was so upsetting imo. i think everyone's movie characterization suffers a little bit overall tho tbh, that's a whole other post though

Ive got another crossover idea for y'all: 2012 encountering Rise's Shredder in 2012verse. But like, s2 finale style
Im talking them seeing the feral dark armor, a middle aged Karai, Rise's glowing Hamato Ninpo in 2012's dark gray world, April's fearlessness, a random goat-man and goth girl in hawaiian shirts, Saki possessing the armor, the way Karai and April work in tandem when sharing a body, Splinter's soul being represented by some dude in a jumpsuit with 80s hair, Leo's teleportation in full effect, giant Raph, Mikey picking up buildings, Donnie being well Donnie
2012 new york inhabitants hiding as Rise tears up the city, 2012!Shredder and co forced to hunker down like a hurricane drill, the kraang scrambling for cover as the 25ft Shredder tears through the streets like paper, 2012's turtles the only ones dumb enough to go and stay topside during all this watching from the rooftops

hello rise community, how do we feel about those lost turtle sisters, huh?
me and my friend @nokmietarchive may have spent like every other moment since the twitter q&a thinking about these two so i have decided to post some art for once, please enjoy :)!
Frida
Frida is of course Big Mama's assistant, an overly serious girl and the oldest turtle (though Raph is still the biggest lol). Hyper-competent with a lot of unresolved trauma regarding her relationship with her mother, she struggles to express her emotions in a healthy way well after leaving behind her white mask and black cloak. She was extremely reluctant to join the Mad Dogs after witnessing Leo's unserious behaviour, and struggles to connect with the boys.
Frida is skilled in many forms of armed and unarmed combat, and wields a Naginata. She's a sea turtle, her colour is ooze green, and her shape is diamonds! She has little diamond-shaped orangey scales beneath her mask.
Misc fun facts!:
We purposefully made Frida's face shape similar to that of BMA's mask, and her mask tails are similar to the shape of BMA's hood
She does not immediately move in with the Mad Dogs, who are all too loud and rowdy for her only-child-until-recently self
She and Georgia share a special, "messed up childhood" sort of bond that only two screwed up sisters can understand
She does still wear the pauldron from her BMA days, but I didn't want to draw them, lol, sorry...
Raph respects her, and is also a little scared of her
Leo is her least favourite brother
Georgia
Georgia, affectionately nicknamed Georgie by her brothers, is the littlest of the turtle siblings (though no one knows if she's any younger than Mikey). She spent her formative years trapped in an alternate dimension, surviving alone on a Kraang planet. Thankfully, her infancy with Baron Draxum prepared her to survive even the harshest environments! Unfortunately, her survival didn't come without some small sacrifices...
Georgie is a scrappy survivalist - wielding twin Kama, she's opportunistic and unpredictable in a fight, and has perfected the ninja art of disappearing. She's a diamondback terrapin, her colour is Kraang-blood magenta, and her shape is droplets! She has three white spots on either side of her eyes, and swirl patterns on her carapace.
Misc fun facts!:
She will chew on anything if given the opportunity, including her own hands and plastron.
She has a Donnietech Hypoallergenic Antibacterial Complex Polymer G-Grade Plastrochew Plate (Silentchew™ edition) that was developed specially for her.
Her favourite food of all time is anything leafy and/or green - cabbage, lettuce, whatever. Just whole heads of the stuff.
Having her and Draxum in the same room is detrimental to his health. She's fine though.
She is very easily overstimulated and overwhelmed by large crowds and the bustle of the city.
Kraang arm
