Imagine Zavala courting Caiatl and everything goes well till she announces that the last step for their relationship/marriage to be official by cabal customs is Zavala having to perform a special rite of proving. The thing is that he has to fight the strongest warrior Caiatl chooses and ofc she chose the YW cause they're super strong and she wants to honor her customs but now Zavala has to win in a fight against THE godslayer, which let's be real he'd get his ass handed back to him but he has no choice but to agree bc he's a lovestruck idiot and he's lucky that the YW wants to see them together so like they have to fake being sloppy during the rite so Zavala can win. Little do they know that Caiatl /knows/ but what's going on but she's amused by Zavala fretting so much over this that she acts unaware. She's very proud of Zavala nonetheless!!
Endou Yuu versus the cosmic unknown
We also figured out—the hard way—that the ancients probably cut each layer of linen to the proper shape before gluing them together. For our first linothorax, we glued together 15 layers of linen to form a one centimeter-thick slab, and then tried to cut out the required shape. Large shears were defeated; bolt cutters failed. The only way we were ultimately able to cut the laminated linen slab was with an electric saw equipped with a blade for cutting metal. At least this confirmed our suspicion that linen armor would have been extremely tough. We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project.

Yeah I worked extra hard that year and made a *lot* of cookies for Saint because ... I mean, poor guy ...
Random thought because I’ve been thinking about for a while
But with strand we literally take hold of the cosmic threads that exist and use them to swing, we aren’t making anything just using what’s already there right?
So if we can use our hands to grab it like rope, can we use our feet to walk on it like a tightrope?
I’m just imagining a hunter running across the middle of the sky looking like they glitched out reality

Just some wholesome eldritch horrors (plus Bandana Dee) being friends I can’t believe I slept on Hollow Knight for this long smh
So I reblogged a lot of your stuff as you probably saw. I love how everyone acts in your idea of the rise verse but I always wondered this. Since it’s the same voice in both the scroll and shredder. I think saki was feeding information on how to defeat him to his family hoping someone would free him and now his ghost hangs around as benevolent grandfatherly ghost.
Imagine if he and karai could inhabit suits of armor maybe donnie and Draxum made together and Inter at with everyone. Like someone announces grandpa is coming to visit and it’s a soft looking shredder coming to gift toys and snacks to CJ and Sheldon while 2012’s jaws are on the floor.
Yes I did notice the reblogs and kudos, thank you so much for them!!! :D
I can't say that everyone works in my version of canon, I just tend to have pretty general headcanons, flattered that you think so though :)
Anyway back to your absolutely wonderful headcanon!
The idea of Oroku Saki fighting back against the Krang's corruption to help his daughter and remaining family. Just for the slim chance for the world to survive his impending Krangification. A tragic sort of last recorded message that Karai had to have gotten, having to listen to this fragment of her father try to guide her to kill the rest of him. It's heartbreaking really.
But also the idea of Saki and Karai going all fmab and staying by their descendants and protecting them. Karai getting the chance to have her dad back, uncorrupted and happy. And for Saki to fully become a father and his own person outside of the Shredder, doting on his grandchildren like he always wanted to, when things where normal.
Now they walk the world again possessing suits of armour to be there for their family. Maybe even Atsuko[Splinter's mom] and Sho[Splinter's granpa] show up every now and then in little toy armours made to be taken over every now and then.
The fam can learn about the Hamato family history and stuff.
Angsty moments between Raph and Saki as they bond over both being Krangified.
Karai and Leo getting through their very suicidal self sacrificial tendencies together.
Things like that would be nice.

Course all that is like a lot to explain to the 2012 gang and all they really see is a supposedly smaller and less dangerous Shredder who never took off his armour.
Or even the 2003 gang, cause their Shredder was Krang so not completely filled suits of armour as like really bad for them. And 2003 Karai betrayed them a few times if I remember correctly.

But also like soft and oblivious Rise gang not noticing the others discomfort right away.
Splinter talking happily with Saki, Saki pats him on the back and 2012 immediately tense.
Everytime Mikey goes to hug Granpop Saki, the others would pause and watch waiting for something to go wrong.
CJ and Shelldon hanging out with Granpop alone and 2012 is confused and concerned with the Rise gang just letting their youngests members be alone with him.

Just Gosh all the subtle discomfort of the other turts about the Rise fam. Ya just love to see it.
