I like to imagine Grace tussling with the very morbid thought, struggling to find a way to word his question in a sensitive way, because he can't very well go up to Rocky and ask

Hey buddy, so if I cracked your carapace open, would your brain be full of pretty lights?

Rocky would think he's insane and stick him in the airlock for the rest of their trip home, and Grace wouldn't even blame him, because who asks that?

Alas, the biologist within him is so so curious, and Rocky is weirded out AF because why is Grace suddenly analytically frowning at his carapace every chance he gets? And is he... is he trying to peek inside his vents? Grace wtf, Rocky doesn't try to hear into your orifices.

I've been thinking a lot about creating my own iteration of the TMNT. I have done something similar in the past, and while that AU is still very dear to me, I really wanted to try something new. So I present, TMNT Shifted! The main change is that the ages/roles have been swapped into reverse order, with Mikey as the leader and head of the family and Leo as the youngest brother. I've drawn a lot of inspiration from other iterations, mainly Rise and 2003.

I may or may not be obsessed
