it's not a very big thing, but I couldn't get the thought of turtles getting (stealing most likely lol) cloaking brooches post-movie and wearing them pretty much all the time. not necessarily using the disguise, but still having them as a tool at any given moment. that seems cool... I genuinely thought that those brooches can only provide human disguises, but according to rottmnt wiki Draxum used it to turn into a. teddy bear. so that means they're capable of more than one form and?? that's so fucking interesting! what!

OR WHEN HE DOES THIS:

Good Timeline Future Mikey, where, by the time he's thirty-nine, he actually looks thirty-nine and not ancient because of mystic overuse (← I fully subscribe to the headcanon that, in the movie, he looks so much older than his actual age because he overexerted his ninpō fighting the Krang)

Nothing wrong with Ancient Mikey! He is very valid and I love him! And my theory is that his future design was supposed to be reminiscent of Splinter's features. BUT I wanted to try my hand at designing what I think Mikey'd look like as a healthy future turtle.

He deserves all the hair.
