Masha, Talking To Vee: So I'm Neither Boy Nor Girl. I'm Nonbinary And Use They/them Pronouns.

Masha, talking to Vee: So I'm neither boy nor girl. I'm nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

Vee, realizing something about themselves: That's a thing?!?!

*Later at home.*

Vee, talking to Hunter: So I'm neither boy nor girl. I'm nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

Hunter, realizing something about themselves: That's a thing?!?!

Weird, Random Crossover idea:

The Collector from TOH being adopted by Sundrop/Moon drop from FNAF.

OR becoming the younger brother of Celestia and Luna from MLP:FIM.

So I love how in most TMNT iterations, when Raph and Casey meet, they'll immediately beat each other the hell up...and then somehow do a 180 and become besties. 🤣🤣

And we never really got to see that particular friendship dynamic develop in Rise.

BUT!

I propose a counter option for Rise for the Casey x Turtle bestie crew.

Who does Cassandra meet first and immediately begin to fight?

It was Mikey! Plus, their arcs in that episode mirrored each other. Both of them we're going on their first solo mission but their higher ups didn't trust them to take care of it.

"See? She gets it!"

They also parallel each other in the fact that they're the main two kids who got bonding episodes with Draxum.

And yeah, Draxum has to make it up to Cassandra for ditching her but he also still has a lot to account for when it comes to the turtles. And come on. You know those two definitely become his two favorite kiddos right there

Also, Mikey loves to cook for people!

And who is it that runs a group of girl scouts that sell baked goods to people?

Cassandra! Just imagine Mikey joining in on the Brownie Clan fun and helping the girls come up with new recipes. It'd be adorable!

And lastly, Cassandra would make a great pal for Mikey to be absolutely unhinged with. His cuteness can make others forget just how wild he can be sometimes. Dr Delicate Touch, anyone?

And that concludes my Mikey should be Cassandra's turtle bestie in the Rise universe propaganda. ^ u ^

Adding on to this, there's so many irl sea creatures that have feline based names that they can turn literal/work off of inspiration from.

Catfish, Catshark, Tiger Shark, Lionfish, Leopard Seal, Leopard Eel, etc.

At this point Nintendo/Game Freak needs to buckle down and make a bipedal cat Water type starter.

Hmmm since I have TMNT and Owl House brain rot.

AU where when Flapjack transfered his being into Hunter, instead of waking back up in the Boiling Isles with the rest of the Owl House crew, Hunter's newfound teleportation powers somehow accidentally intercepted one of Rise Leo's portals and he gets yeeted into the Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe.

The Rise turtles, seeing a scarred and traumatized teenager with pointy ears falling out of one of Leo's portals: "Who dis? New sibling???"

Sidenote: I love this scene immediately after that.

Matt finally gets a badass moment. (Slightly hindered by the fact that he has smudged marker on his face.)

2. He announces that he learned it from Gus so Proudly. 😭

3. This definitely means that they went back to the Looking Glass Ruins after that first time and Gus tutored him in some illusion magic, right? Right??
