Rise Of The Tmnt - Blog Posts

Rise Donnie Headcanon

When Donnie first met April, he had a big crush on her, but it went away as they grew closer as friends.

I've had this feeling that Donnie had a small crush on April when they first met. At first, I kind of shipped them but I really love the idea of April being a lesbian and dating Casey (once April turns 18). Plus, I'm not a fan of the age difference between Donnie and her. I know it's only a two year difference, but a 16 year old and 14 year old have different mind sets.

I adore their friendship though.

Rise Leo Headcanon #2

Leo sometimes rick rolls his family.

He has enough lovable, chaotic energy to do this. He dabs and that is pretty much a meme. 😂 The one he would torture the most is Donnie. His "twin" would retaliate by hacking into his phone and have it constantly play Leo's least favorite songs.

My Theory on Haley Joel Osment's Role

My top theory on his role is he will be a genderbent Renet. There are rumors (possible confirmation idk) that his role is the mysterious stranger. The mysterious stranger is from the future and the most well-known TMNT character from the future is Renet.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens since the Rise creators did that to Casey. It would be cool to see.

I don't have much to say since rarely any info has been released.

Can't wait for the movie! 😁❤

Hi everyone! Ever since I’ve seen some Instagram posts about TMNT fans’ versions of the show, I’ve wanted to do this. But most of them had drawings so I felt insecure since I’m not a great artist. But I still wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, lets get this started.

Note: This is in beta and changes might happen in the future.

…………………………………

It all starts similarly like the other versions.

The turtles want to explore the city and sneak out. Everything is as normal as New York can be, but it changes when the ninja turtles come across a certain red head (😉) sneaking around. They follow her and discover an alien ship. Having no choice to take the role as the new girl’s protectors, the turtles watch over as she gains information on the aliens such as their species- the Kraang- and their objective with Earth. When the girl is captured, the brothers save her and escape.

She reveals herself to be April O’Neil and explains what she was doing. April is a high school sophomore who works in a news station as an intern, and she wants to prove her abilities with a breakout story. Unlike other versions, the turtles and April don’t have an immediate connection and have no expectations to meet again. The turtles are distrustful of humans since their father/sensei warned them that being accepted by humans will be nearly impossible. Due to underlying issues, April is prone to avoiding people and rarely lets anyone in, except her roommate and best friend Irma. It would take a few episodes for their friendship to really grow and develop.

Splinter doesn’t intervene with his sons’ visits to the city for weeks until they come back injured from a Kraang fight. He decides to ban them from leaving the house in his extreme view of keeping them safe. Splinter lifts the rule when he learns the gravity of the Kraang. With that, he trains his sons harder than ever.

The first season focuses on the brothers’ relationship and growth as a team. Leo learns how to mature and become a leader; Donnie learns to follow his instincts more. Raphael learns to get over his insecure and impulsive nature. Mikey learns to be more mature and open with negative feelings.

The Shredder takes a backseat as the villain until season two, though he appears in season one alongside Karai.

[B]“A” Plots:

-Turtles vs. Kraang

-Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey arcs begin: 1-3 episodes will focus on each of them

-April/Turtles’ Friendship

[B]“B” Plots:

-April’s Past

-Splinter’s Past

-Shredder

-Karai/Leo’s Relationship

-Casey/April/Irma Friendship

……………………………

This is all I have so far. I’ve only just started on this and I mostly focused on characterization and character development. I’ll have more info to reveal once I post about the characters. I’ve been thinking about writing my version as a book, but I don’t know. It would be fun to see people’s thoughts.

I hope you enjoyed it! 😊

Comment your thoughts.

Rise Mikey Headcanon

Although Mikey is a great cook, he is not as great in baking, so he watches a lot of baking shows for practice.

I don’t know how this idea came to me. It’s more of a cute thought. Wouldn’t it be adorable to see Mikey taking notes while watching British Bake Off?

He would love Mary Berry!

What do you think would be the turtles' favorite desserts?

Donatello Headcanon. ROTTMNT/Marvel

Mine: Rise Donnie’s favorite Avenger is Iron Man/Tony Stark.

Donnie would love him since 1. He is intelligent, 2. Has a really cool lab, 3. Is majorly sassy, and 4. They have robot assistants. Jarvis and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N respectively.

That’s kind of all I have to say.

If you disagree, what do you think his favorite would be? 😁💜

What Are Your Unpopular Cartoon Opinions(+ Mine)?

1. She-ra is a bit overrated(still appreciate it.)

Don't get me wrong, I deeply appreciate the LGBTQ+ representation in the show, but I can't really get into it. Some of the characters are hard for me to connect with and that is something rewlly important for me when watching a show. Some plot points were really rushed like the entirety of season 3 and the series finale. There were a few characters that kind of annoyed me like Glimmer and Catra.

2. Voltron: Legendary Defender is overrated.

Around the time it was still airing, I heard so many people say it was one of the greatest cartoons of the 2010's and how the writing was amazing. So I watched and imo, it's meh. I just have a lot of problems with the writing like the Lion switch, clone Shiro, and the series finale. Everything felt so rushed.

Though, I love Shiro's backstory(He's amazing!)

3. Steven Universe Future was not a great season.

I was so excited when SUF was announced, hoping that most of all of my unanswered plot points would be answered. Some were, but everything was so rushed. Steven's impending breakdown quickened a bit too much, and stories like Aquamarine & Eyeball's return were added in seemingly without a thought.

The season was also pretty forgettable.

4. Young Justice has lost its charm(still really like it.)

I love Young Justice! It's one of my favorite shows if all time, but I have to admit that it doesn't feel the same way. The charm it had in the first two seasons is not present in the latest one. The characters' relationships are integral to the show and is a reason why the show is loved. Season 3 mostly focused on new characters and most of them don't have development.

I hope Season 4 fixes that.

5. I actually liked Poof being added in FOP.

I've seen so many people say Poof ruined the show, which I disagree with. Poof is not my favorite character, but I find it cute and a good addition to the cast.

6. Rise of TMNT is pretty good.

There have been a lot of people, specifically TMNT fans, saying Rise is awful and a disgrace to the franchise. I respect the show for wanting to do something new since some of them work. It's not my favorite, but I have a fun time watching it when I want to relax.

7. Season 4 of RWBY was pretty good.

Old fans of the web series say the show went downhill during season 4. I say it turned for the worse in season 5.

8. TMNT 2012 April is not a terrible person.

I see this version of April as a character who was tragically poorly-written. She had the potential to be amazing if the writers didn't label her only as a love interest. I went more in depth in one of my earliest posts.

9. Miraculous Ladybug is not as good anymore.

The love square is getting irritating. It made sense going slow since Marinette and Adrien are getting to know each other. Miraculous had also gotten more cringey that it is almost unwatchable.

10. I prefer the newer episodes of Phineas & Ferb over the older ones.

This is more of a perference. I just like the newer episodes, especially after Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension. I love that movie with all my heart!

Rise Turtles & Soap Operas

If the turtles are bored, they’ll watch a soap opera.

Donnie would critique and laugh at the logic of the plot.

Leo wouldn’t care at first, but somehow gets invested in one character.

Raph would get upset when the bad guys win, and cry during a sad moment.

Mikey would root for his favorite good characters, and have his eyes covers during sex scenes by his brothers.

Their favorites would be Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless.

Rise Leo Headcanon

I believe Leo would be flustered and insecure around the first few weeks of being in a relationship- particularly a samurai rabbit. *wink*

He would pretend to be someone he’s not like being extra confident. But when his partner tells him how much they care about them, Leo will start being okay in his own skin.

Favorite ROTTMNT Villain?

When it comes to the villains in Rise, my like/dislike ratio is kind of 50/50.

Draxum and Big Mama are great villains, but the other ones like Warren Stone and those crab brothers are not good.

I know that Draxum is not a villain anymore, but he was one for the majority of the show. So, I count him.

If you like or dislike any of the villains I mentioned, that’s cool. Like any character you like.

Draxum's design is so good and I so far really like how the creators' are writing him.

There is finally a main female villain in the TMNT universe! She's so conniving and pretty badass. I mostly enjoy villains who use their brains more rather than fight. But I don't mind intelligent, manipulative villains being crazy strong.

This Shredder is pretty scary. He's insane and has lost all sense of humanity. He took a step further more than 2012 Shredder since he succeeded in killing his own daughter.

Rise Turtles' Taste in Music Headcanon

This is based on their style and interest in music from the episode “Al Be Back.” The episode is basically about them fighting Albeartos with the power of music.

Raphael: Adele, Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, and John Legend.

Donatello: Calvin Harris, Zedd, Galantis, Lady Gaga, Alesso, Daft Punk, Disclosure, Broadway Musicals.

Leonardo: Queen, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Journey, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin

Michelangelo: Missy Elliot, NF, Drake, Macklemore, Logic, Twenty One Pilot, Post Malone.

What do you guys think? Comment what you think their favorite artists or songs would be. 😊❤️

Rise Splinter Headcanons

1. A big reason why Splinter is dedicated to being a good father is because his father left his mother and him when he was younger. He doesn’t want his sons to ever feel abandoned and unloved like he did.

It would also be a reason why Splinter took the Turtles in immediately after meeting them.

2. A reason why Splinter lost his athletic build was because he went through a depressive state. He lost of his motivation and missed his past life. If the turtles didn’t stay with him, things would have turned for the worse.

Thoughts? 😊❤️

I have social anxiety and phobie social (I don't know what it's called in English sorry) so interacting with people gives me anxiety, but I hope to overcome it with this!

UPDATED!!

without marks, without soul, without life...

A big baby turtle 🩵

I think Leo can be dangerous if his brothers can get hurt.

War crimes...

I think it's my favorite drawing so far

I really liked the result!!

Just trying out the digital style, what do you think?

The leader and his right hand

I really like this dynamic

Sweaterland 2.

Sweaterland 1

Donnie: Let’s sell Leo. Please!

Sweaterland 💙

Rise Rafh and…. A little Leo2012 …

A really big… big brother ❤️

Just …. I thought it would be fun xd

…. an older brother will always be an older brother ❤️

…

Now. I am sad…

I always loved the turtles' 2012 clothes. But, RiseLeo with these clothes. I think it looks great on him, it gives him a serious and somber look, don't you think?

Thanks for watching!

Which turtle is next?

I have always seen Leo2012 as a golden child, the type that doesn't throw tantrums or pranks, a little angel. Quite the opposite with Rise Leo, who is a machine of occurrences and mischief.

I think Leo2012 would scold Rise Leo a lot XD

Leo with the Leo2012’s outfit, yes, you know, it could have been better... but it could also have been worse, right? :D

He looks sooo cool hahaha

I feel like he would fall right after…
