Leo in the Gumbus episode: Mikey ghost aren't real. Mikey by the end of the episode: Yeah I guess your right.

Two seasons later...

... Leo I hope you didn't make any bets with that claim.

I like to think days or weeks later after that fight Leo was laying in bed and he thinks back to the Hamato ghosts and realizes that ghost are technically real and has a whole late night essential crisis about it. lol

I'm fucking tired, but like anyways happy 2 year anniversary ROTTMNT movie. Genuinely would like to thank these goddamn turtles for getting me to come back to the fandom world and meeting some people I'll never regret meeting.

Goodnight, pirate Paramount+ properties, and I'm gonna order pizza tomorrow.

Ok folks

We all love Big Mama, right?

She's cunning, iconic, unhinged, and a powerful crime boss

But that's just the thing. "Crime Boss"? Of what?

Based upon what we know she obviously makes money through the hotel and the betting rings of the Battle Nexus, as well as her train, and she likely has her many legs in various other businesses and organizations in and above the Hidden City.

But "crime boss" to me gives the vibe that she runs a business of manufacturing, selling, and distributing contraband. The question is, what?

Mystic and human objects/artifacts?? People?? Weapons?? Drugs(she feels classier than that tho imo)??

She's obviously money laundering but that money has to come from somewhere. So what actually does she do??

[Also are we just gonna ignore the fact that she used to drive trailers?]

Thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

I feel like ROTTMNT’s magic system hasn’t been explored nearly enough. Like, now that (most) world ending threats are gone, the turtles could totally learn more spells and explore more things they could possibly do with their ninpo and mystics. Since we know that future Mikey was “the greatest mystic warrior”, why aren’t potential future/additional abilities explored for all of them?

We see Mikey float, incinerate kraang monsters, open a portal through time, throw multiple large objects (including, but not limited to A FUCKING SKYSCRAPER) and he’s probably capable of much more with the proper training. I know that his kusari-fundo could catch on fire and that it had some sort of demon inside it, but it’d be sick if Mikey could just….spontaneously combust and become a flaming cannonball. Or just, become glow stick or some shit. Or even make other things float! Like imagine if the reason he could throw something as large as a skyscraper was because he literally made it lighter than air.

And like, we clearly see that Leo is able to teleport and make portals, but he’s also super fast? Even without powers he can move unnaturally fast (probably thanks to Draxxum) and even thinks quickly. Plus there’s that image of him at the end of the movie with the lighting which I desperately need more of because of course he has lighting! Also, there was a fic somewhere (a few actually now that I think about it) that talk about how actual teleportation is impossible but come up with brilliant solutions, for example: portaling through a pocket dimension to get somewhere else (Portal Pocket Dimension by DefinitelyaUseraname), or speeding up individual atoms in order to “disappear” and “reform” somewhere else (Neon Void by sugar pastels). Granted, one is a “safer” option regarding the fabric of reality but still.

Also, if the “Rise Medic Leo” headcanon fits the 2k12 thing where Leo has “healing hands”, I’m totally taking it and running.

Also, Raph and Donnie? I’m not quite sure what secondary skill Donnie might get but you can’t tell me that Raph doesn’t get some sort of illusion/size changing ability in the future. Like come on. He can literally make duplicates of himself that look exactly like him that can confuse the Shredder. And he can change the size of his full body construct too! If he can make a large version of himself, why can’t we get tiny Raph too? He could totally learn illusion spells or work with Donnie to figure out what the different types of constructs they can make. Maybe not Hypno illusions but something similar probably.

I was kinda thinking about giving Donnie some sort of x-ray vision or the ability to like- take a pencil and turn it into a rifle or something? But honestly, his aim is only second to April so maybe some sort of enhanced vision or even a tech-telepathy thing would be best? If the rest of the Hamato Clan had magic abilities like the turtles, what would they have? I just assume that the Hamato Clan always has the basic “turn x into weapon” and “Ninja Mind Meld” stuff, but it’d be cool if there were other abilities like healing that were specific to the clan member. Maybe these secondary abilities I’m thinking of (healing, speed, strength, etc.) are just that instead of a Yokai specific thing? Idk, magic systems are fun.

I'm re-watching Rottmnt right now, and every single time I start an episode I'm reminded just how incredibly cheesy the intro is with incredible lines such as "Mikey's got mad skills" "With each other, they discover their destiny and rise." "Cowabunga" and my personal favorite shouting "TURTLE POWER" Its so deeply cheesy the show runners were so powerful for making it 10/10

Welcome again to me putting too much thiughts into one-shot characters from rottmnt:

Loathsome Leonard and ogre yokai thoughts under

I was looking into dnd again after mud dogs from rottmnt stays on the mind, and looked into a video talking about ogres. Loathsome Leonard is an ogre (as well as a few characters I have t thought about in a while) and now I’m getting news of how ogres in dnd are not only gluttonous but also greedy. And thinking back to it, Leonard is the most fit out of any ogre we’ve seen in rottmnt? At least as far as I can remember.

And before you say anything, yes, I know TMNT is different than dnd. But my mind went places and I needed to place them somewhere,

All of them (I have seen) have a belly but him. And it lead me to wondering if he was the runt of the family he was from. (Yes we’ve seen a lady in the fancy hotel that was way short and the leader of Makers of Brutality (Beverly) is also short. But all of them have bellies. And I can’t get over this. (Always happy to see this normalized but also hyoerfixating on such small details.) Leonard doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him. So either he’s used to not eating or he’s not able to gain weight?

Or it would just be easier that someone who uses multiple skills to rob banks and trains and who knows what else would have a fit and slim form to get the best results out of the job.

Now rounding back to the other thing, while he is greedy in the sense that he wanted to do a robbery as soon as he and his group got out of a police car, his reasons are because he wanted to do something “exciting”. (Probably was in there for a while.)

Anyway. Yeah. So far that’s where my mind went.

Also also: Came back after finishing the ogre video. Don’t like ogres. So I’m just going to think ogre yokai are so so much nicer. Still curious why he is the most slim ogre character we’ve seen in rottmnt.

I can’t get enough of how Rise!Splinter inadvertently caused a major break between two of his son’s relationship, and more a more minor break between all 4.

Yet this is also simply because Leo wants the past to come back, but Raph wants to prepare for the future.

HELP MY SOUL

Rottmnt thoughts that have actually woken me out of slumber:

• Shelldon is his (donnie's) son, not a butler-pet

• Draxum needs to teach Leo portal mystics

• Mikey chew fidgets and mouth guard

• Raph ALONE

• Splinter must have so much dysphoria twice over

• How long was Lou Jitsu with Draxum? Must've been a year at minimum

• Raph gets a tattoo

• Who is Mr. Cuddles?? Why has he not come for his wife?

• Piebald where? 🥺

• I miss Ghost Pepper

• 12 Donnie would beat Rise Donnie in a fight UNLESS it is post series Donnie who has mystiiiiics

• Would Draxum ALSO be Piebald's dad?

• Stinkbomb shoulda come back instead of Hypno. Donnie-Stinkbomb team up when?
