We need to revive the Bay! turtles and the fandom

Random order for now :p

Michelangelo can breakdance (best and first move was the spinning on your back one), also a great hiphop dancer. He will listen to music and dance without noticing, almost choregraphing for the song itself. Will have dance offs with his brothers. Sharp angles but great body control as well.

Donnie will try to engineer new things, it's canon he made vegan pepperoni or salami, so I imagine he does this with a lot of stuff. Will and has tried to make vaccines, accidentally made a new disease once, yikes. Has tried to reverse engineer so. many. things.

Leonardo was a MASSIVE snitch when he was younger. Like say you don't wanna train once in his earshot and Splinter already knows, kinda grew out of it.

Raphael once ate 12 pizzas in one sitting, much to the dismay of Leo, Donnie and Splinter

The lair has showers as well, they obviously remove all gear for this. Michelangelo has the worst hygiene, often being reminded to clean every shell crevice by Donnie and Leo. Donnie goes full nerd science mode with explaining possible illness or infection and to be careful, Mikey never listens but somehow doesn't get sick often.

Absolute shenanigans occur in the lair, they all have hobbies to combat the threats of the ha-shi.

Hobbies:

Mikey does anything creative, music production, sketching, skateboarding, anything. Will often learn dances or raps in his free time.

Leo likes classical literature, both Japanese and Western, he will watch video essays explaining every little detail. Also likes to cook as well, makes a MEAN bowl of ramen (homemade broth, chashu, everything)

Raph often has to compromise his strength for speed and agility, so he sometimes does speed and agility courses. He also does beat boxing and rap, writes and records his own with Mikey.

Donnie stays on top of science research, will read the newest papers. Although, he does like to also collect trinkets. Think figurines from TV shows or video game characters, all trinkets are from franchises he likes and plays/watches.

This theory has been formulated before but let me summarize.

What is this about?

If we read the Annals of Karsus , we learn that there are three items tethered to the mage's powers:

There is a Crown, an Orb, and a Sceptre, each night-alive and with its own power and purpose, and these I call the Regalia of Karsus.

It stands to reason the the mentioned Orb is the same as the one embedded in Gale's chest.

The crown, we are well-acquainted with.

But what of the staff?

We never get to find the artefact itself, but we know of someone who is greatly invested (to the point of obsession) in the topic of Karsus: Rapahel. And when we speak to Helsik, she reveals something interesting:

You and Gortash absconded with it [The Crown of Karsus] - catching the interest of a devil named Raphael. His House of Hope is furnished with a great deal of treasues, many related to Karsus.

Did you find any Karsus-themed treasures while scavenging the House of Hope? No? Me neither. So, maybe there are some more items hidden away in areas we don't get to see.

Raphael has been hunting for the crown for centuries. Enough time to snatch the sceptre while he was at it?

Finally, there is this noteworthy portrait in the House:

We never see Raphel wield this particular staff in-game and it also doesn't resemble the Staff of Spellpower from his secret vault. Granted, Rapahel doesn't look like Raphael either - this portrait is modeled after early-access-Raphael, so maybe the staff experienced a makeover as well.

Nous y sommes ! J'ai enfin publié mon premier chapitre de mon histoire dans l'univers TMNT ! Voici son résumé :

Dans cette histoire réimaginée des Tortues Ninja, nous avancerons dans l'histoire d'un point de vue plus humain à travers les yeux d'April O'Neil. Tout l'univers et ses personnages appartiennent à Kevin Eastman et Peter Laird, je ne fais que m'amuser à réécrire une histoire alternative.

Il est probable qu'il y es une romance dans l'histoire.

Here we are! I've finally published the first chapter of my story in the TMNT universe! Here's the summary:

In this reimagined story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we move forward in history from a more human point of view, through the eyes of April O'Neil. The whole universe and its characters belong to Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird; I'm just having fun rewriting an alternative history. There is likely to be a romance in the story.

My take on the Star Wars x TMNT AU I was talking about, featuring the LeoSagi pipeline from Strangers to Enemies to Friends to Lovers to Enemies. I literally have no excuse for this, except that I love the Found Family tag and literally need more Star Wars x TMNT content.

Little summary:

Raph and Mikey were taken away as toddlers by Draxum to become a part of the Jedi Order, meanwhile, Leo, Donnie and April stayed with Splinter to become Mandalorians. One day, they meet again due to a row of coincidences and the family gets caught up in intergalactic drama created by Big Mama, the senator of Hosnian Prime.

(If you like Star Wars please talk to me I need more friends who also love star wars and aren't 27 please)
