ANYWAYS THATS ALL I GOT RN !!! BYE BYEEE
1 - Does Splinter ever get to form such bonds with his sons?
He quite does, it's very hard at the start but he eventually does!
With Mikey he did became more protective and careful, especially that he has now 3 brothers, and he can't give Mikey all the attention like before(even though it was not much), so they end up getting more separated. Since Mikey knows how much their brothers need a loving parent, he has tried to teach his moves with Dr.Feelings to Splinter but it doesn't work out. Mikey feels kind off left out sometimes, especially since Splinter has tried to do more with his other siblings, but he says to himself that they need it too, so he tries to help him.
With Raphael, he absolutely loves Raph, except for the part with Draxum, for Splinter he is amazing at being the leader and very great for things, since Raph is used to rules and being told what to do, he ends up telling Raph what to do most of the time. They are not that close, but still hang out, he tries to learn of Raph and try his best to be caring and great for him.. sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Between this three people, one of the major conflicts of the AU happens, especially for Raph and Mikey.
With Leo, he is not very great with him, since Leo is more.. bratty than his Rise version, he seeks attention and praise, Splinter gives the littlest words of affirmation and Leo is already very happy, Splinter has considered of Leo being the leader? Yes, but he is not fully ready yet. He got along with him a lot like Mikey, and he helps Splinter with Raph, though with Donnie he fights 24/7 and he tries to make Splinter see what Donnie do, but most of the time, he doesn't show up, that is something he questions a lot.
With Donnie, he became one of his favorites, since he makes a lot of gifts for Splinter, and things for him to be more comfortable, and he was also the one he raised for a little bit and got back home, i plan them to have one of the cutest reunions to be honest. Splinter knows how Donnie is.. for the most part, he knows how hard change is for him, so he often asks what things he did in the Foot that they could make here, and some events he enjoys.
Overall, he is very good with them, trying to learn the new things of Donnie, trying to make Raph learn some father love(daddy issues), giving Leo some advice on how to be the leader, but with Mikey, since he is used to him, he kind off lefts him behind sometimes.
2 - Do they change info, to their Canon outfits, or rebrand?
We first see Leo with an little change, not to much, he said quote: "You need clothes Mikey, how will you show your Razzmatazz better if you dont look like me?". So he mostly sticks with the normal clothes he has, he just adds more things and more pouches, cuz he tries to carry things for his brothers. He also adds the TMNT symbol, changing his jewelry for it.
Mikey stays normal, just adding more stickers to his gloves. But more scars.. hehehehe.
Raph had to remove some of his armor, since they didn't let him move to much, he still stays with his scarf ,pants and some armor pieces. But his chest-plate and shoes gets removed. He also gets bigger and sharper with his teeth being more sharp, we see this change in "The Evil League Of Mutants" and then he just stays like that, he just adds to his belt the symbol of the TMNT group.
Now Donnie had the most changes, he went from emo ninja to nerd ninja, aside from that, he changes his Battle Shell for something more useful, and makes one to wear it in the house only, he also gets encouraged by Mikey to make his Tech-Bo.. He absolutely did make it and went insane with it, he gives his gloves a little change, opening the hand part more and getting them painted with the colors of his brothers. I will not talk to much of it, cause for real i will stay here all day talking about it.
Raph and Donnie are the only ones who have different names from the canon, Raphael changes to Turtle One and Donatello changes to Foot Purple.
Donnie doesn't remember his name, so being called Donatello out of nowhere makes him confused, so Splinter and the brothers call him Purple and slowly change to Donnatello, the one who starts with the nicknames is Leo, he ends up getting used to it eventually, but it was a hard thing for him to do.
From the interaction you see, even after everything, Raph is not used to being called Raphael, Mikey and him fight for it, since Turtle One is not A NAME, but when Draxum gets his redemption arc, Mikey teaches him that that's not a name, he is not just a warrior anymore, he never was just that, he deserves a name, then Mikey tells him that Raphael was the best name. After Draxum starts calling him by that, he gets used to it, and right at the last episodes of season 2, he finally goes just by Raphael, and of course the nicknames.
3 - Do you allow Fanmade Comics or anything?
I ABSOLUTELY DO, go on have fun thinking about little scenarios of them or draw their interactions! Or just random fanarts, memes, you name it!
I allow it, as long it has credits!
Go insane with it man, I'll be absolutely happy!!
I also realized.. I haven't posted their references, i will do their post soon so you can have clearer references!
