That Other Timeline.

Since the Rise turtles have regular phones, I’d like to say that in the Mutant Mashup AU 2012 Mikey was The Kid With A Crusty IPad. Tell me I’m wrong. Also he has downloaded so, SO many mobile games that no knows how his phone even turns on

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest but mostly them

Alright, so. Context.

Any fans remember when the Megaman team at Capcom asked people from around the world to participate in the Boss Character Design Contest?

So, this guy was one of those and his actual creator was one of the guys who worked on Megaman 11. I can't remember what his name was, I'll have to get back to you guys on that but yup. I really liked his design and I decided to draw him. He's just a littol gremlin in my eyes. I've got a few more doodles for him but it'll be a while before you guys can see those.

Oh yeah btw, the guy's concept name was Bat Man.

Imma just leave this bad boi here for now.

I fully intended to just do the colors but I had too much fun shading the twinks

I came up with an idea for the Mutant Mashup AU that's both cute and sad at the same time?

Basically, Niccolo (2012 Donnie) does funny voices and songs for his brother's and cousins. Simoni (2012 Mikey) and Orange (Rise Mikey) in particular love it when Nico sings or does the voices cause it made them laugh a lot when they were younger. That was needed especially when Yoshi and Lou got into a fight or something and the boys wanted a distraction for a bit. Little man could do lots of voices too! He could have a whole conversation with several different voices talking, Blue (Rise Leo) and Purple (Rise Donnie) try to get Nico to say the most random things ever. The disaster twins and Sanzio (2012 Raph) seem to love the way he says ✨"Croissant"✨ Red (Rise Raph) tries not to laugh but he cracks pretty easy. DaVinci (2012 Leo) and Purple loved learning about the world as kids and frequently asked Nico if he could sing the "Countries of the World" song, that one was their favorite. Little DaVinci also loved the "alien" voice Nico did.

Nico himself loves making his family laugh with the funny voices and while he doesn't do it as much as a teenager, he's still very willing to speak in silly voices and songs if they ask.

Which is why he was belting out silly songs at 4 am to Simoni after the events of "The Power Inside Her." DaVinci and Sanzio hung around him more often but Simoni was especially clingy, Sanzio didn't let 2012 April near Nico for a few days. Purple and Blue were also kinda on the fence about her seeing their cousin but they eventually relented when Rise April and 2012 Casey talked to them.

Doodle of a Fireflower from Mario to help me get into the habit of drawing at least something once a day

Here's some names I think the 2012 turtle's would call their cousins. As well as what I think their age order would be

DaVinci: Blue, Little Blue, Baby Blue, Speedster, Clown, Blueberry, Red, Teddy, Reddy, Apples, Purple, Plum, Rook, Orange, Pumpkin, and Sunshine.

Sanzio: Blue, Bluey, Fruit basket, Clown, Smurf, Speedy, Red, Rad Red, Reddy, Spikes, Big guy, Purple, Twinkle toes, Booty shaker, Orange, Sunshine, Tiny, and Little man.

Niccolo: Blue, Cobalt, Glacier, Speedster, Blueberry, Red, Reddy, Firecracker, Flames, Spicy, Strawberry, Purple, Othello, Circuit, Grapes, Dragon, Orange, Citrus, Pumpkin, Zest, and Tiger.

Simoni: Blue, Big Blue, Blueberry, Jack Frost, Sonic boom, Cookie monster, Red, Rad Red, Teddy, Reddy, Firecracker, Strawberry, Hot Sauce, Boomstick, Purple, Sugar Plum, 9000, Softie, Terminator, Orange, Tiger, Fanta, Sweet n' Spicy, Good Doctor and Monarch

Okay, here's their age order for me, might get shifted in the future though.

DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

(( TW: flashing lights/colors! )) “his whole life, donnie felt like he wasn’t wanted anywhere. he never knew there would be someone, a family even, that begged the world so hard for him to exist 💖”

finally finished the twins hug animatic :sob: i did my best to finish it in a day but it took more than 24 hours hAHAHA- i’m so sleep deprived now- but yeah, this is a condensed, more emotional version of what happens in a future episode. think of it as an alternate version uwu donnie’s arc happens around christmas time so i thought this song would fit an emotional moment in the story.

hope y'all like it! 🥺 and i wish someone would give you comforting hugs for the holidays 💖 • ❌ TC*ST DNI ❌ ( 🌿 please do NOT repost, edit, trace, use, and/or sell 🌿 )

Y'all know the cardboard cutouts in Poppy Playtime?

I like to think that they're a small glimpse in those characters personalities, and what they would've been like if we'd been able to interact with them in-game. The cutouts also seem to indicate the sanity level of each Smiling Critter.

This'll be a long one, I'll see you at the end of you wanna read!

Spoilers:

Anyway, that means Bubba Bubbafant would've been outwardly friendly, yet still resentful of the player. He also might've been losing his sanity quickly, probably due to CatNap's gas.

"Hey! I remember you!.....An elephant always remembers!.......Want to know what I remember about you?........*Devolves into hysterical laughter/screams/glitches.*"

Had he been in the game as a Bigger Body experiment, I doubt he would go out of his way to help. He might've just hidden himself away like Kissy and Poppy, or fully lost it before he could try to help the player and got killed off.

Next is Kickin' Chicken. He's different in that he seems like he would've provided encouragement to the player, maybe even try and protect them.

"Wanna go outside and hang out?.... I've never been outside before.........Will you come with me? I'm scared.......Here, I'll step out first......*screams/glitches.*"

He also seems to have been killed off early, maybe he was even the first Critter to be killed. (He's embracing his inner Chica now-). I say this because, aside from DogDay, Kickin' Chicken seems the most sane in comparison to all the Critters.

CatNap's cut out doesn't have much other than breathing noises and snores that devolve into glitches.

Picky Piggy sounds sane, but I think she probably ate some of the other Critters. Probably Bubba Bubbafant, Kickin' Chicken, and Crafty Corn. If she could interact with the player, I think she'd be friendly at first before showing her true colors.

"Roast beef? Delicious!......Grilled chicken? Down the hatch!......Seared Elephant! Yum!......Flayed Unicorn? Mmmmm!.......Still hungry.....Hey, what do ya say you and I be friends?"

She definitely wouldn't have been helpful, and would've absolutely tried to eat the player.

I think Hoppy Hopscotch could've tried to help as a Bigger Body experiment, maybe a little pushy and impatient towards the player. Probably because she's desperate to escape.

"Wanna try hopping to the moon with me?.....On three with me!....1, 2, 3!...Heh, didn't get very far, did we?.....Listen, this won't stop until we make it to the moon!.....1, 2- No,no, don't look at your feet! None of that matters! Again! Again!.....Jump! JUUUU- *glitches out*"

She seemed to have a good heart and wanted to help but was likely taken out while escaping. I'd call her sane enough to be trusted, just desperate.

DogDay is certified best boy and definitely would've wanted to help you, even at the cost of his life/freedom. He knows this is a terrible place to be in and wants the player to leave as soon as possible.

"Go, go! As far as you can!......Why are you just standing there?.....You can't be here, you can't stay......*screams/glitches.*"

He knows he can't leave and encouraged the player go. He sounds sad when he speaks. Would likely be the last Critter to stick by the players side no matter what.

Crafty Corn up next! She seems very focused on painting and almost definitely killed someone because she was out of red.

"Pass me the blue please!.....Thanks! Now can you give me some red?.....Out? But we can't be out..... You're hiding more red from me......I know you are.....GIVE IT HERE *glitchy screams*

Yeah, I wouldn't really trust her. She'd be fine by herself or if the player gives her all the materials she asks for, but Crafty would've probably gotten agitated and attacked quickly.

Finally, Bobby Bearhug! She comes across as super loving, but also clingy and desperate for an escape. Sounding a little unhinged at times. If the player could've interacted with her, she might've clung to them, possibly even protected them if they convinced her that she could go with them.

"I love you to the moon and back!..... I'm crazy about you!.....I'm lost without you.....I've been lost a long time......Please, take me with you this time?.....You won't leave me, will you?!."

She sounds like she's lonely and craves companionship. Her cutout is actually the only one that doesn't end in glitches or screams so I think the player could've trusted her. She might've had a fragile mental state, but I don't think she would've tried to kill you.

Thanks for reading til the end! Stay safe!

Uh-

I doodled this

Probably inaccurate but the size difference between the turtle tots from TMNT 2012 and ROTTMNT is wild.

Sanzio's just there like:

"Who are these people and how do they know me??? Why is the blue guy crying????"

I made the grave mistake of looking up what Epic the Musical was on YouTube and now I don't know peace-

That led me to listening to Survive, a song from The Cyclops Saga by Jeorge Rivera-Herrans, here's the link on Spotify:

It's so unbelievably good that I daydreamt an entire separate timeline for the Mutant Mashup AU based on this that I lovingly refer to as, the Painful Timeline.

Like I could vividly imagine DaVinci starting the song via declaration of war against either Krang Prime (Rise Krang) or a Krang infested, Dark Armor welding super Shredder. Blue would be the one who sings the battle commands in the middle of the song. By the end, DaVinci dies with the rest of the turtles get picked off one by one, leaving Blue, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Orange left to try and fight.

If they manage to get away (Blue used his portals) I imagine Sanzio lost his memory during the altercation, just like he did during the Mutant Apocalypse in canon. Niccolo would definitely need to build a new shell for himself, as a reference to the IDW comics. Blue definitely lost his arm for very obvious reasons. Orange is the least physically hurt by the enemy (y'know, baby privileges) but he does unlock more of his mystic abilities.

The rest of the fam is up in the air but here's what I got. Lou and April live but May dies, or at the very least isn't an ally because she was engineered by the Kraang themselves to be a weapon. Casey and CJ survived, Cass didn't make it and got overrun by the Kraang.

Somehow, someway they throw Krang Prime into the prison dimension with or without the sacrifice Leo did in the movie but by then, the damage to the surface is so severe that the remaining people need to go to the Mystic City. While it IS possible for the Earth to recover, it takes a very long time.

This isn't the worst of the worse timeline but it gets angsty real quick. From Sanzio struggling to regain the person he once was, to Blue's guilt over causing this entire mess, it gets pretty sad once you think about it. That's not even mentioning Niccolo or Orange's feelings about all this, or any of the other extended Hamato family and how THEY experienced this.
