Mutant Mashup Au - Tumblr Posts

Had fun brainstorming, now imma try and draw something related to this (take a look at the messages pls me and @possumsarenice had fun)

I’ve seen some people make some “What if the 2012 and 2018 turtles switched and grew up in the others’ world” AUs, but imagine if you will “2012 or 2018 Splinter has eight sons instead of four” aka, Splinter bought the 2012 AND 2018 turtles in the pet store or in 2018 Barron Draxum added 4 more turtles to his roster. In either universe the eight grow up as siblings. That is some chaos I’d love to see

Heads up: I can't draw digital art because I have no tablet but traditional will do just fine. Anyway, so me and @possumsarenice made a TMNT Au centered around the Rise and 2012 boys being cousins. It was super fun to brainstorm ideas so I decided to draw a funny interaction between the two rat men we all know and love.

They are brudders.

Did some Mutant Mashup Au doodles and kept on forgetting to put them here.

Me and @possumsarenice thought it would be funny if 2012 Raph (Sanzio) and Rise Donnie (Purple) have a "love/hate" relationship? Basically, the two have two settings, either they fight each other like feral hounds or they are each other's ride or die.

The last doodle was just me remembering how the boys call each other. The 2012 boys call their cousins their color nicknames (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange) while the Rise boys call their cousins the painter's last name (DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni).

Yoshi and Lou unknowingly named their sons the same thing (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo) so when they reunited the boys would fight over "name privileges." It got to the point where the rat dad's had to cancel name privileges and the nicknames just stuck. They still call each other by their given names but when they talk to their cousins they have to say a nickname.

One more thing about this AU that imma do here is just call the boys using their nicknames. I just like saying DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni. I think those names are fun.

Also thought of what other fun nick names the Rise boys would give their cousins.

Blue (Rise Leo): Vinnie, Vin, Cici, Vincent, Sanni D, Zio, Zizi, Nic, Nico, Colo loco, Momo, Nini, Simon and Simo

Orange (Rise Mikey): Vinnie, Vin, Zio, Sanni, Nico, Nici, Simsim, Nini, and Momo

Purple (Rise Donnie): Vinci, Davin, Sanzio, Zio, Zizi, Niccolo, Nico, Niconacci, Simoni, Sim, Oni and Momo

Red (Rise Raph): Vin, Davi, Sanni, Zio, Nico, Nic, Simon and Momo

Here's some names I think the 2012 turtle's would call their cousins. As well as what I think their age order would be

DaVinci: Blue, Little Blue, Baby Blue, Speedster, Clown, Blueberry, Red, Teddy, Reddy, Apples, Purple, Plum, Rook, Orange, Pumpkin, and Sunshine.

Sanzio: Blue, Bluey, Fruit basket, Clown, Smurf, Speedy, Red, Rad Red, Reddy, Spikes, Big guy, Purple, Twinkle toes, Booty shaker, Orange, Sunshine, Tiny, and Little man.

Niccolo: Blue, Cobalt, Glacier, Speedster, Blueberry, Red, Reddy, Firecracker, Flames, Spicy, Strawberry, Purple, Othello, Circuit, Grapes, Dragon, Orange, Citrus, Pumpkin, Zest, and Tiger.

Simoni: Blue, Big Blue, Blueberry, Jack Frost, Sonic boom, Cookie monster, Red, Rad Red, Teddy, Reddy, Firecracker, Strawberry, Hot Sauce, Boomstick, Purple, Sugar Plum, 9000, Softie, Terminator, Orange, Tiger, Fanta, Sweet n' Spicy, Good Doctor and Monarch

Okay, here's their age order for me, might get shifted in the future though.

DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

I honestly don't know what came over me. I just started drawing Donnie's head and then took off from there.

This makes me want to draw different designs for the Mutant Mashup AU I made with @possumsarenice.

I came up with an idea for the Mutant Mashup AU that's both cute and sad at the same time?

Basically, Niccolo (2012 Donnie) does funny voices and songs for his brother's and cousins. Simoni (2012 Mikey) and Orange (Rise Mikey) in particular love it when Nico sings or does the voices cause it made them laugh a lot when they were younger. That was needed especially when Yoshi and Lou got into a fight or something and the boys wanted a distraction for a bit. Little man could do lots of voices too! He could have a whole conversation with several different voices talking, Blue (Rise Leo) and Purple (Rise Donnie) try to get Nico to say the most random things ever. The disaster twins and Sanzio (2012 Raph) seem to love the way he says ✨"Croissant"✨ Red (Rise Raph) tries not to laugh but he cracks pretty easy. DaVinci (2012 Leo) and Purple loved learning about the world as kids and frequently asked Nico if he could sing the "Countries of the World" song, that one was their favorite. Little DaVinci also loved the "alien" voice Nico did.

Nico himself loves making his family laugh with the funny voices and while he doesn't do it as much as a teenager, he's still very willing to speak in silly voices and songs if they ask.

Which is why he was belting out silly songs at 4 am to Simoni after the events of "The Power Inside Her." DaVinci and Sanzio hung around him more often but Simoni was especially clingy, Sanzio didn't let 2012 April near Nico for a few days. Purple and Blue were also kinda on the fence about her seeing their cousin but they eventually relented when Rise April and 2012 Casey talked to them.

Since the Rise turtles have regular phones, I’d like to say that in the Mutant Mashup AU 2012 Mikey was The Kid With A Crusty IPad. Tell me I’m wrong. Also he has downloaded so, SO many mobile games that no knows how his phone even turns on

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest but mostly them

Me posting at 3am because I drank a large cup of Dr. Pepper from Cinemark:

Ya see this?

Swap out the Sanses and replace them with the Mutant Mashup Boys. Particularly, Killer Sans and Nightmare Sans. Swap them with Blue and Purple.

Blue has no ADHD meds, imagine the chaos-, Purple went to Sanzio's room probably.

I'm having regrets🎶

Mutant Mashup HCs

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest

Simoni convinces Casey Jr. to play Minecraft. Home boy was so confused about everything at first. But now they do it on weekends regularly. Jr. has made statues for the future turtles in all the worlds he play in

All of the turtles love Jupiter Jim, even if Sanzio tries to deny it. Although only DaVinci and Blue are huge fans of Space Heroes. It’s their thing

Yoshi trained all the turtles, including the Rise kids. Lou (due to his mental state and Yoshi considering him a disgrace) wasn’t too involved with the training, but showed them all his movies so they all have picked up some things from those movies

Simoni has an electric based nippō

Purple and Sanzio are secretly running a bunch of cons in the hidden city

May (2012 April) managed to tame a kraang dog and the beginning of the apocalypse, so Casey Jr. grew up with a kraang dog. When he gets sent back, May manages to tame it again and it stays alive after the Rise kraang leave. So Casey Jr. gets his pet back :D

I imagine there’s plots that didn’t exist in either Rise or 2012 solely because characters now exist in the same world. (Example: The 2012 Purple Dragons somehow get into Big Mama’s debt, Meatsweats attacks Mr. Murakami because “nO ONe’s AlLOwEd To MAkE bETTeR FOod tHEn ME *crying baby auto tune*”, or Foot Recruit and Miwa/2012 Karai being girlbosses together, etc)

Of course we have Medic Blue, but I haven’t seen too much on the general fanon on who’s the medic in 2012. So my personal HC is that it’s Raph. Source: He literally gives Donnie a tourniquet in that one ep. Anyways Blue and Sanzio are ✨the medic duo✨ Yoshi is both the hardest on Blue because he’s afraid of him turning out like Lou, and joke with him the most because they’re both trolls and play around like that. Sanzio will absolutely kill bitch if they touch Purple’s shell without permission. The fact that’s so vulnerable compared to everyone else’s freaks him out a bit. Why is it so easy to break???

On a related note: Sanzio physically fights Purple the lest due to his Soft-Shell Privileges. Does Not stop him from verbal attacks at all, which they do the most out of everyone

Lou holds resentment to Yoshi for seemingly being unaffected by their mother leaving them. He also lost contact with Shredder before he gots too bad and is still a little in shock about his turn.

Baron Draxum created the ooze that mutated Yoshi and the 2012 turtles, so they all get the Draxum Clutch™️ as well.

Hueso went to Mr. Murakami‘s restaurant as per the turtles request, and now he’s a regular. Mr. Murakami knows he’s a skeleton but just casually accepts he’s serving to a bunch of creatures. As long as they behave he doesn’t mind

Casey Jr. was very close to his uncle Casey (2012) but doesn’t really know how to approach him in the present. He’s so different. At least the kraang dog is more or less the same.

Yoshi forbade all the turtles from going outside, but they all snuck out around the time Orange was 3-4ish. Lou know but has been letting them do it in a “haha don’t tell your dad/uncle or we’re all in trouble” move

An idea for the Mutant Mashup Au made my @possumsarenice and I.

Niccolo and Purple actually used to be close as kids. They naturally had lots of similarities and spent most of their time together building things. Whether it was a joint project or helping each other build inventions as each other's lab assistant, both purple turtles enjoyed each other's company a lot in those moments.

However, the more advanced their tech got, the farther away they would drift. Purple eventually started thinking that Niccolo was trying to outshine him, meanwhile Niccolo just wanted to build things just as amazing as his cousin. It's because of this insecurity that led Purple to bond more with Sanzio.

It's important to note that Niccolo never wanted to outshine his cousin and only wanted to be seen as an equal to him. He misses Purple and the things they used to build together, misses having someone that could understand him in a way the rest of his family just can't. Sometimes, Niccolo wishes he wasn't that smart and could be more laid back like Simoni or Blue.

This all comes to light when the purple turtles are captured by Big Mama and the 2012 Purple Dragons. Both boys are locked in a room and are forced to work together to get out before time runs out but things are not going well. Purple is trying to do everything himself and refusing help, but Niccolo wants to help him so both can escape. It takes a good while of arguing but Purple spills the beans about what he thinks about his cousin, how he thinks Niccolo is trying to replace him. Niccolo is speechless for a second before admitting how much he wanted someone, anyone, to stick around whenever he wanted to build machines. He felt like Purple abandoned him for bigger and better things, leaving Niccolo behind.

The two eventually clear it all up and start to reconnect by doing more joint projects like old times. Both still work on separate projects, but they have fun when they work together like they used to.

Alternate idea is that they still drift away from each other but neither notice until it's pointed out. I'll put more thought into that later but yeah.

I was scrolling on TikTok and I just-

Not my video but I just-

The comments kept making jokes about Leo having a strict skincare routine and I just love that idea.

I wanna add it to the Mutant Mashup Au, DaVinci probably did this skincare routine in secret for a while until Blue caught him. Now they have regular spa days together, it's more official once the Hamato clan see the Hidden City.

Mutant Mashup was created by both @possumsarenice and I.

Btw I probably should’ve asked this sooner, but do you have any fruity HCs for the turtles? And do you want to be canon in Mutant Mashup? I have my own, so I’d like compare. I’ve always found seeing other HCs fun

I do actually! I didn't want add any relationship preferences unless you were okay with it so I'm glad you asked!

2012 boys:

Leo: Bisexual, he/him (I heard he had a man crush on Captain Ryan which is just so on point)

Raph: Heterosexual, he/him (canonically has a relationship with Y'gythba/Mona Lisa)

Donnie: Bisexual/Nonbinary, he/they (I think it's funny if he doesn't know he's bi just yet but figures it out as time goes on)

Mikey: Pansexual/Genderfluid, he/they/she (no reason for this, I just like the idea)

Rise boys:

Rafa: Homosexual, he/she (I saw a comic that had Rafa and Leon go do 'Fruity Friday's once a week and loved the idea)

Leon: Homosexual, he/him (how could he not?)

Don: Bisexual/Nonbinary, they/them (personal headcanon)

Angel: Pansexual, he/him (also personal headcanon)

I'd like to hear what headcanons you have!

I just realized something-

In the TMNT 2012 series, Kirby O'Neil is a psychologist so he could very well help the turtles with their trauma and maybe some other potential issues they never noticed.

I heard that Leo's visions of his deceased father are a potential symptom of schizophrenia. I personally don't think he has it, but I do like to think about it. Magic IS a canonical thing in the 2012 universe after all so maybe spirits do as well. Either way, the fact Leo is trying to speak to his father's spirit at all, even though he is no longer with them, is cause for concern. By that point the turtles had already met April's dad, so they could go to him for help if they got too overwhelmed.

I'm gonna add a cut off here so that you don't have to read about how this will effect that Mutant Mashup Au I've got with @possumsarenice if you don't want to.

Thanks for continuing to read!

Anyway, since canon Mr. O'Neil is a psychologist, in the Au he'd get along pretty well with Orange (Rise Mikey). He might think "Dr. Delicate Touch" comes off a little strong but thinks it's funny nonetheless. I kinda wonder their first meeting was Orange eagerly asking questions about Kirby's process and what it's like helping people through their issues. Kirby probably got a bit overwhelmed, but how could he resist this kid? (Rise Mikey in general just radiates "adopt me" vibes. Those puppy dog eyes let him get away with SO MUCH in this AU it's unreal.)

Kirby is a ball of nerves most of the time and over thinks a lot. Generally very stressed out, but he does love his daughter and only wants to see her happy. He'd definitely adopt the Hamato's, he knows they make May (2012 April) feel like she belongs so he doesn't mind them crashing at his apartment for movie nights or snacks or even if one of them needs advice.

Since I brought up Kirby it only feels appropriate to wonder about Carol O'Neil. In the Au, I imagine she's an accepting lady, if her daughter is anything to go by, and is generally very friendly. She'd also have that "calming vibe" and is very caring as long as you behave. She's a strong and encouraging mother that can and will mama bear April and her friends.

When it comes to both of them, Kirby and Carol are great friends. She and Kirby are probably those parent friends that meet up every once in a while to talk about whatever adventure their daughters went on. I don't really see them as a couple, just really good neighbors! Carol's calm nature helps keep Kirby from exploding with worry whenever May isn't home on time or something like that. I imagine both sets of O'Neil's live in the same apartment building, but are like a floor or two away from each other. May and April probably had several sleepovers as kids, so Kirby and Carol each have several blankets and pillows tucked away in case the girls ever need an emergency sleepover.

I think that both of them met the Hamato's at the same time, maybe during the Krang invasion. April and May were worried about their parents and quickly introduced them to the turtles before letting them know the situation. In this Au, the invasion lasts longer than canon, so Carol and Kirby bonded with Yoshi and Lou before Yoshi's death. Over time the two adopt the turtles one by one, Carol thinks they're sweet boi's while Kirby thinks they're kind hearted hooligans and always laughs at Blue's or Simoni's jokes.

@possumsarenice absolutely, no doubt about it.

Nobody tell madmutts that I am only bothering them cause they give off surrogate dad and uncle vibes

I think it would be funny if Blue and Simoni dare each other to do the craziest stuff. To the point where Simoni swallowed a squeaky toy of all things.

So, I started drawing the 2012 ninja turtles and realized that if the Mutant Mashup Au is a mix of both the 2012 and Rise iteration of ninja turtles, then I should probably combine their art styles when I draw them. It sounds fun but I'm not sure whether or not I should make the boys look more like the 2012 or Rise art style.

Should I give the Rise boys more chonky legs and upper arms or slim down the 2012 boys to look more human?

Then again, this is just a silly au with lots to figure out. The difference could be explained away as simply as "the 2012 boys just mutated differently" or "Draxum used a variation of the ooze when creating the Rise Boys." Both @possumsarenice and I agree that Draxum was the one to mutate both sets of Hamato's, not the 2012 Kraang, but that makes me wonder if he mutated all of them at once.

Putting a cut here in case you aren't a fan of large bodies of text.

Draxum would have no reason to capture Yoshi unless he did his research and figured out Lou had an older brother. It just so happened that Yoshi bought his turtles when Draxum went to capture him, in place of Yoshi encountering the Kraang in canon. (I think Draxum went to capture Yoshi himself and sent Huginn and Muninn to get Lou. He had little info. on what to expect from Yoshi so Draxum got pretty roughed up I think.)

Alternatively, Draxum had planned to use Yoshi as a guinea pig of sorts BEFORE he did anything to Lou and the Kraang started hunting Yoshi soon after he escaped with four freshly mutated baby turtles in tow. To someone like Draxum using Yoshi first would make sense as he was older and would be considered "less of a threat" than Lou. We all know that isn't the case but Draxum sure didn't.

If all the Hamato's mutated at once, then Yoshi and Lou would meet up a whole lot sooner and be forced to tolerate and live together like they used too. It opens the door to sooner healing and less misunderstandings because in this Au Yoshi and Lou are NOT on good terms. This is due to how they perceived each other's reaction to their mother's death.

Lou saw Yoshi still following the Hamato teachings, even though those teachings stole their mother away, and believed Yoshi was unfazed, he considered Yoshi heartless. Yoshi believed that Lou turning his back on the Hamato clan meant he turned his back on their mother and family, that's why he considered Lou a disgrace.

Lou would see his mother's death the same way he saw it in canon, an unnecessary sacrifice. (At least until he realized the great evil behind the seal was real.) Meanwhile, Yoshi would likely see his mother's death as an act of heroism. Lou resented the Hamato clan for years because the duty they carried was one that took away one of the people Lou loved most. Yoshi, on the other hand, understood the sacrifice and what it meant. He hated it, but he understood that his mother only wanted to protect her family, and the world, from the Dark Armor.

Yoshi knew that his mother's final act was one of love. Love for her sons, love for her family, love for the Earth itself.

Both learned a lesson that day. Lou learned that the burden of saving the world is one that will consume everything, leaving you with nothing but the broken pieces of a once happy life before you had the chance to really grow up. Yoshi learned that loss is a painful but necessary sacrifice to save everyone, to protect everyone. To him "it doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, what matters is that you carry it."

Random Au headcanon time:

In TMNT 2012, Leo got a voice change due to the Shredder messing up his vocal cords after the Foot ambush. It's spawned a few headcanons that Leo can't speak for long periods of time because his voice would give out on him if he spoke too much or yelled too loud.

I can't remember where but I saw this one post that expanded on that idea with Leo having a love for singing and would often sing his brothers to sleep some nights. When Shredder damaged Leo's throat, he was devastated because he couldn't sing as well as he used too. His brothers on the other hand, loved his singing voice because it reminds them that Leo's still here and safe.

I want to add this headcanon to the Mutant Mashup Au. DaVinci would probably sing along with Niccolo when he did his funny voices. Vin might have gotten into singing once Nico showed him where he learned the countries of the world song.

I imagine that sometime after the Kraang Invasion, once everything settles down, the boys notice DaVinci is a lot quieter than he normally is. Once it finally clicks that Vin can't talk at the moment, Orange goes to Draxum for help. By this point Draxum is a reformed lad that casually accepts he's been forcibly adopted and goes to help DaVinci.

Whether through some sort of mystic healing spell (similar to 2012's Healing Hands technique) or actual surgery, DaVinci is able to speak again without much pain. There are times when his throat flares up but those moments only come after prolonged use of his voice. DaVinci is a pretty quiet kid when compared to his family so that thankfully doesn't happen much.

Just a little thing, DaVinci probably felt proud of his voice and must've felt so insecure about singing after his throat got better. To the point where the rest of the boys, even April, May and Casey, got worried he stopped singing altogether. Blue especially worried because he hates when anyone in his family is hurting, that's part of why he's the medic. It takes a while but the family eventually convince DaVinci that they'll love whatever his new voice sounds like no matter what.

Mutant Mashup Au: Ninpo explanation

Y'all know about the power the Rise boys get once they unlock their ninpo. But in Mutant Mashup, the 2012 boys get some powers too (Draxum Clutch Tm).

Large bodies of text ahead, be warned!

At the moment, the Rise fam retains the same ninpo abilities as in canon (Red: holographic constructs, Purple: mystic tech, Blue: portals, Orange: mystic chains). If you watched the show you know that Orange (Rise Mikey) gets mystic chains and fire, but in the Au he only has his chains. A small but important change.

The 2012 boys are the Rise fam's cousins so they get ninpo too, which is more geared towards the elements. I think I'd be fun if their mystic weapon's amplified their mystic powers to dangerous levels. Draxum likely kept the weapons locked up as they were "too destructive" when compared to the Rise fam's weapons.

DaVinci's ninpo is water/air. When using his mystic weapon (a pair of tekko-kagi claws), Vin can create violent whirlwinds that can throw enemies around. These winds don't affect Vin's family unless he is trying to catch them or himself. The claws grow or shrink depending on how Vin is feeling so if he feels super angry then the claws sharpen and grow longer. Once the claws are destroyed by Shredder, Vin unlocks another aspect of his ninpo which is basically water bending. He can pressurize the water to the point it can cut through anything. When Vin combines both powers he goes full typhoon mode.

Sanzio's ninpo is fire. His mystic weapon are a pair of gauntlets and can shoot fire from his fists or even breathe fire. These flames can be all consuming and Zio can't always control them once lit, but he learns how to temper them over time. Sometimes the flames burn his family so Zio isn't too keen on using them at first, but that changes once the gauntlets are broken. After the gauntlets break, Sanzio can set himself on fire for a limited time, his tolerance builds up as he ages. More importantly, Zio has more control over what his flames burn and how strongly they do burn. (Yoshi doesn't like his ninpo unfortunately, it reminds him too much of what happened to Miwa and Tang Shen)

Niccolo's ninpo is earth. His weapon is a two sided battle axe that can "shatter the earth." (Nico tried using the mystic weapon Purple was supposed to get but it didn't work for whatever reason). If Nico hits the ground, everything starts shaking, kinda like a mini earthquake. This kicks up a lot of spikey rocks that Nico can send over to the enemy, a bit like his family's ninja stars. Due to the near permanent results of his ninpo, Nico doesn't use it all too much which irritates him. Once the axe breaks, Nico can finally do what he always does, create something new. He can still cause earthquakes and force large rocks to jutt out of the ground, but he can also reshape the earth into whatever he needs and even walk through magma, though only for a limited time and with proper mental preparation. Nico starts off by making small lab assists but as he grows, he can create huge Kaiju sized golems.

Simoni's ninpo is electricity. His mystic weapon is a scorpion chain that helps him electrocute baddies from a distance. The first time Simon used his ninpo he took out the entire city's power grid. It was fixed really quick but Simoni's electric current was way too strong to be used around machines (Nico and Purple were paranoid for weeks). Thankfully, Simon got more control over the power output once the his weapon broke. Simon can now use his ninpo to tether things together and keep them in place, a little like a spider web (Big Mama absolutely loves this). The things Simon can do are simple but versatile like creating electric ropes only he can walk on or dangle from. His ninpo can give him a little burst of speed which he exploits a lot when running away from his bros. Maybe Simon can sense things a lot faster then everyone, probably because he can feel the electricity in the air or something.

A short add on to this, but because of both Splinter's fighting, the turtles promised each other that there would be as much open communication between them as possible. They didn't want to hate each other when they grew up like their father's/uncle's.

Mutant Mashup thingy

(This has been sitting in my drafts for months rip-)

Since all the turtles and even the Splinters and Aprils grew up in a very different environment, they would obviously act a little different. So here’s my ideas on how.

Mutant Mashup AU by me and @sillyandquest

Oldest to youngest (as said here) DaVinci -> Red -> Sanzio -> Niccolo -> Purple -> Blue -> Simoni -> Orange

Both DaVinci and Red were the protectors. However, DaVinci was more offensive and Red as was more defensive. This was because Red had to worry about accidentally hurting people due to his strength and was pretty intimidating as is, but DaVinci didn’t. So DaVinci is slightly more trigger happy and Red looks for more peaceful situations. It’s not a major change, but if they meet their canon counterparts they’d quickly release the differences. This ties into Red’s mystic abilities too, as his holograms are more shield focused then in canon. Niccolo and Orange and holding their entire families together. As said here, Niccolo would help calm his siblings and cousins down when the Splinters fought, and Orange already had a complex about this in canon. Neither of them would be able to do this on their own (with how big their family is now) so they work together to keep everyone happy (even if they aren’t).

I’ve noticed the 2012 boys are big on teasing each other while the Rise boys are a lot softer to each other (minus Blue and Purple). So I’d imagine in this dynamic they’d both be in the middle ground of their canon dynamics. The Rise boys tease each other a lot more but are still softer then canon 2012, but the 2012 are softer to each other but still tease each other more then canon Rise.

Blue and Simoni and “the face team.” Which mean Blue taught Simoni some manipulation tactics. Simoni still gets tricked by 2012 Chris Bradford, but that was because he was star-struck. He’s actually a lot better at people then in canon. Also, Blue is a lot more insecure about himself because he doesn’t have his “face man” thing to himself and feels he has even less worth :(

Sanzio is slightly better at controlling his anger because Red is teaching him some things, though he’s still angry all the time. Also, he’s a little bit nicer to his little bros because they released that there’s 5 of them and one of him.

Purple also has more self worth issues then in canon because in there, he based his identity off being “the tech guy.” But here, there’s someone else that can do tech. Also, he usually gets put in the “safer” places during missions because Yoshi was overprotective of him because of his soft-shell, and all the 2012 boys (and even the Rise fam to an extent) followed. I could imagine an episode plot where he snapped and goes off to do something really dangerous to prove himself. Maybe going with the other brothers who get babied (Simoni and Orange)

Orange canonically does ballet (see the lair games ep) so I feel like I’m this AU Sanzio would be the kind of sibling/cousin-who’s-basically-a-sibling who would absolutely pummel anyone who bullies his siblings. Also I can see Orange and Simoni both doing ballet so when Simoni starts using his strings he moves around on them in a sort of “dance-y” way.

Since Lou let them sneak off to the surface before Yoshi was ready to let them go, I’d imagine DaVinci has an absolutely unreal amount of “Space Heroes” merch.

Since Simoni can be repelled by Poka, I can imagine Purple has an entire library of “Music genres my siblings/cousins-who-are-basically-siblings don’t like.” The labs were filled with Poka after Simoni activated his mystic powers
