I have a random (and very stupid) headcanon that I thought I’d ask for your thoughts on:

2012 Irma being a real person all along that at some point offscreen got replaced by a Kraang doppelgänger

Oh boy, you have no idea how much nostalgia you just hit me with. You got me like

I’m a TMNT 2012 veteran, so let me give you a history lesson on this fandom when the show was first airing:

Back in 2014 when the season 2 finale first aired, SO MANY fans were shocked and understandably upset that they revealed that Irma was a robot/Kraang Subprime the entire time. So much so that a popular fan theory was going around in the fandom during the airing for season 3 that Irma was always a real person, but she was captured and replaced by a robot doppelgänger with Kraang Subprime using it as a disguise. I was even on board with that theory, hoping that they would eventually reveal that the REAL Irma was out there locked away in the Kraang prison and the Turtles and April would eventually find her and save her.

Then season 4 came around and we got an answer to the Irma robot body along with a bit of an origin. Season 4 introduced us to the Utrom Council and gave us Rook, who’s an Utrom with a robot body that looks exactly like Irma, just with a different color palette.

And tbh, I like Rook! For what it’s worth, this was a clever way to bring back this character after establishing she was originally a robot. We even learn in the episode “The War for Dimension X” that Rook was the original creator of the Irma Robot body, but Kraang Subprime stole her design and used her model to create more weapons for the Kraang.

So after the introduction of Rook, I kinda abandoned the “Irma is a human and is still out there” theory/headcanon. Like I said, I like Rook. I even made fanart of her for TMNTember 2024

To be clear, I’m not dismissing your headcanon, you are still free to have that headcanon and think of other fun ideas for that concept, but for me I personally I’m not for that headcanon cause I surprisingly like what was given to us in the series.

When it comes to making an au/fan iteration of TMNT, what would probably be some things to consider? Like what should stay the same and what would be fine to change?

Keep the roles of each Turtle generally the same: Leo is the leader, Donnie is the brains, Raph is the muscle, Mikey is the jokester. Rottmnt I'd say is the exception because they did it in a clever way were the positions that the Turtles started with were not the ones they ended with. Example: the series ending with Leo being the leader and the movie continuing that by watching him step up as the leader we know he is and can be. We literally watch the Turtles "rise" into the roles we know them as by the end of series (they would've explored that more if Nick didn't cancel the show).

Something kind of interesting that current TMNT versions are exploring more and more are the Turtles desires to be actually teenagers! I like when they explore them enjoying and wanting to be apart of normal teenage things like wanting to go to school, go on dates, get invited to parties, etc. This is more of a new thing the franchise is doing and I'd love to see more of this explored in future TMNT projects and fan interruptions.

Exploring Donnie's abilities as a genius is also great to see. Whether its his insecurities of not being "smart enough" for the team and feeling if he's not smart than he's useless, or even having him explore different genres of science like chemistry, engineering, hacking/coding, etc.

Leo beyond being a leader is good to explore too and fun slight change to his character. Don't just make Leo a serious dull leader. So many people say Leo is boring and has no character when that's not true. I think it's fun when the TMNT series gives Leo so much personality and even make him kinda nerdy. Examples: 1987 Leo is a literature nut, he loves to read. 2012 Leo is a sci-fi fan, and always mimics speeches he's seen on tv from his fictional cartoon crush lol

I personally like it when TMNT has Raph, the big tough hot head, have a hobby/passion that requires being gentle and calm. Example: 2012 Raph loves to paint and draw, and Bayverse Raph can knit. I've always really like the trope of the big scary dude enjoying a pretty harmless activity that help calm him down or something like that.

Also keep April as the big sister/mother figure of the Turtles. Do NOT make her a love interest for any of them. It ruins her dynamic with the other 3 Turtles when the story is too focus on always pairing her up in stories with the Turtle that has a crush on her just for "shipping". She's their cool big sister, keep it that way.

What is your HCs on Vampire and Blackberry?

Ooo!! HC questions yeSS, I’ll do a few separately and then both of them together — Vampire Cookie and Blackberry Cookie !👇

🍷 Vampire is actually pretty smart as oppose to what other cookies think. He likes playing dumb to get reactions and for the record he’s too lazy to think. (Not to mention he’s also intoxicated half the time) That’s why he’s pretty good at chess and math. Its mostly because he was previously trained in alchemy way before Alchemist herself was born.

🍷 Vampire is a tough cookie to crack as he isn’t necessarily phased by most things. It’s pretty hard to embarrass him to be honest and for anything he’d be like “I mean you’re not wrong lol” or “I thought it was obvious ?? -7-“. The only thing that could provoke him for the most part are cats. He shits himself when Sparkling’s petsitting his dad’s cat, Constable Whiskers. (Theres angst on how he failed as the family prodigy in alchemy and leeching off his parents but im not gonna get into that 👀)

🍷Vampire tends to be annoying, on purpose. /lh Catch him whining and moping around the bar counter, Herb’s lawn, Mint and Oreo’s piano (bonus points if he start slamming his hands on the keys) or BlackBerry’s work desk when he’s bored and wants attention.

🕯BlackBerry is actually very good with children, mostly due to a loss of a younger friend of her’s in the past. Despite her tough exterior, she had plans for wanting a kid in the future and give them the care she wasn’t able to for her childhood friend. But sadly she’s too busy tending for Adventurer’s mansion to be able to settle down.

🕯Blackberry is Cherry Blossom’s manager and co-worker since she hired her to help tend for the mansion as well. Like Vampy, she’s unphased with most things like the creepy paranormal activity going around the estate. Blossom is scared shitless however, especially when Blackberry likes to joke (yes she can do that sometimes) how she can speak to the dead. The girls are frequently getting hit on by Addie lmaoo.

🕯Blackberry may have an insight in different mansions, whether it’d be Adventurer’s or Vampire’s, but her sense of direction is god awful in certain public places LOL.

🍷🕯 Vampire’s and Blackberry’s dynamic may come across as mean or harsh (with Vampire teasing and annoying BlackBerry and him getting bonked with a mop by her and the like) but to be honest a lot of their gestures are all light-hearted. Vampire likes to rest his chin on her head while wrapping her in his coat and Blackberry occassionally likes to scratch his head or the back of his ear when they relax on the couch. <3

🍷🕯 Vampire is pretty good friends with Adventurer Cookie but if he’ll especially spook or prank him if Addie ever makes a pass at BB. Vamp won’t take it too seriously unless he REALLY is pushing it. Sometimes he likes camping out in Addie’s Mansion on the ceiling or in a darker area for a nap until BlackBerry’s on break.

🍷🕯 When either one or both are having a rough time, they like to cuddle in silence. On the couch, or in Vampire’s cloak. Or their dates on the roof. <3
