Absolutely! Raph will have a relationship with Spike/Slash similar to the original, just with a few narrative differences. I like to think that Raph would still confide his problems and worries to Spike
Now, when it comes to Chompy, Raph certainly wouldn't think twice about offering to take care of him. After all, he'd miss having someone small to look after and protect (aka Mikey and Slash angst)
I actually really love how it came out just look at them!
I love the shading and their eyes! They’re so beautiful.
and just the way they look in general. I did really good! I’ve also been playing around with shading using a few different brush’s and stuff and it worked well for this drawing. I just really love this ok. . . .
These would be grate for matching pfps
Zoom in on their eyes ✨
Slash’s are glowing and Raph’s looks like pies.
why do Raph’s eyes look so gentle and pretty~ I guess it’s the round edges/softer lines also he is a pretty boy so~
I kinda wanted their eyes to match tho since I think Raphs green eyes come from the mutagen.
Based off of this image.
I got it from Robins-treasure a user on here they informed me that the picture is from the ‘Tmnt: Amazing adventure’ comic issue 2
(tho it’s the 23rd issues in total)
Title says it all, since canon barely gave us any info on the Mutanimals and their interests I'll just have to do it myself
Mondo Gecko:
Type of guy to constantly complain that he was “born in the wrong generation”
This is because he looked up to his dad a lot growing up, and his dad has a lot of nostalgia for the late 80’s early 90’s music scene
His family before he mutated was actually pretty wealthy due to generational wealth
Due to his family’s wealth, he was able to afford to go to tons of concerts, talking about like at least 3 every single month
Super into music and has immaculate taste. He’s mainly into Alternative Rock, Metal, Punk / Emo Adjacent, and Indie Rock
Growing up, he didn’t really have very many “genuine friends”
Considers Mikey his best friend, kind of insecure about this though because he feels like Mikey is closer with Leatherhead than himself
Tries to make friends through bonding over music taste, this is why in “Mutant Gangland” he’s trying to fix the radio in the Party Wagon
It takes a while before Casey is able to fully trust Mondo again after what happens in “Meet Mondo Gecko” but after some time they are able to establish a friendship again and bond over their similar music taste
He also is able to successfully bond with Raph over, again, similar music taste, but that friendship takes a bit longer to form. Mainly because Raph has the assumption that Mondo is annoying like Pigeon Pete
Post-canon, Mondo finds it easy to interact with Mikey, Raph, and Donnie, but not so much Leo. He hasn’t found anything to bond with Leo over yet
Slash:
After “Slash and Destroy”, his mutation has caused him to forget a lot of his previous life as Raph’s pet. He doesn’t tell Raph this though, because he figures it will likely hurt Raph
He can eat so much food. Like way more than even Mikey can
Huge fan of Medieval literature. Gets his initial interest from Raph, who has an interest in Medieval history as well. This is why Raph had a Morning Star Mace (a Medieval weapon) in his weapon closet
Borrows history books from Donnie’s collection sometimes
His favorite movie is the Princess Bride
Secretly a huge sucker for Medieval romance novels
Part of him wants to stop hiding in the shadows and become a public advocate mutant rights, but he knows doing this might backfire and put him and all of his friends at risk
Actually pretty smart and likes to be Rockwell’s lab assistant
Leatherhead
Will eat literally anything, as long as it’s edible. Not picky in the least bit
Takes meds for his PTSD that Dr. Rockwell creates for him, which is why he’s much calmer in seasons 3 going forward
Huge fan of jazz music, dabbles a bit in rap as well since it’s Mikey’s favorite genre
Loves stuffed animals and anything that's soft
He wishes that his mutant form wasn’t so large and threatening
Becomes close friends with Karai while Karai is staying with the Mutanimals in season four, they like to train and spar together
In his free time, he enjoys writing short stories and poetry, it helps him to relax and sort through his emotions
Dreams of writing a full novel one day, but he’s a bit busy protecting New York
Hosts “Therapy Through Creation Nights” at the Mutanimal’s lair where he dims the lights, plays jazz music softly, and lays out materials to write or create art. He invites all of their friends
Wishes he was good at art like Casey and Raph, but alas his alligator hands aren’t steady at all
He also loves cooking and likes to visit the turtle’s lair to cook stuff with Mikey
Becomes close friends with April post-canon. She even lets his style her hair
Dr. Rockwell
Makes really cool shit for the Mutanimal’s lair
I’m talking like the whole lair has a speaker system so they can blast music really loud
They also have a robot nano cleaning system so they don’t have to clean the lair themselves
Installs all sorts of cool lighting so they can change the lights to fit the mood
There’s a reason why the turtles get so excited to go visit the Mutanimals
Oldest member of the Mighty Mutanimals
The reason he’s so hostile with Donnie and constantly comparing their brains is because he’s actually really insecure about his abilities. He’s never truly felt proud of himself or his accomplishments
Being a mutant has only lowered his self esteem even further
Incredibly sassy
Close friends with Shinigami, they gossip about everyone and everything together
Since his mutation, he’s super susceptible to motion sickness and has to sit in the front seat of vehicles or else he’ll puke
Although he can use his psychic powers to read people’s minds, he doesn’t do this often because he views it as an invasion of privacy
Mona Lisa
Is aware that Mondo Gecko has a huge crush on her, chooses to ignore it
Becomes sparring buddies with Leatherhead
Salamandrians can regrow limbs
She’s also an excellent swimmer
She can also predict the weather using her skin receptors, like most species of salamanders can
Huge enjoyer of jewelry, doesn’t wear any though since she’s always prepared for battle
Has been part of the salamandrian army since she was 15 years old
Became Lieutenant of the Salamandrian Air Troops by the time she was 16
In season four, she’s actually only 17 years old (I think this makes sense since uh, y’know she flirts with Raph and all. Unrelated but I head canon the turtles are also 16-17 during season 4)
She began training to be a warrior by the time she was seven years old, which is common in Salamandria
She’s actually not a fan of heavy metal or rock and roll, much to Raph’s disappointment
Cannot digest any foods with dairy, like at all. She learns that the hard way when Raph has her try pizza
This is a pretty common headcanon I think but I think she’d enjoy Space Heroes
She’s also well educated, specifically in engineering, so she helps Donnie in the lab with some of his engineering projects sometimes
