Welp my theory is that Future Donatello got mutated like from Good Genes and either got captured or killed. Because I love sadness sometimes. But yeah. I completely agree. I feel like Future Raphael and Future Michelangelo would be quite estranged due to FR's selfish behavior and neglect. And I think Future Raph would be extremely aware and would immediately try to make up for lost time AND bond with his younger brother. Only to realize that Future Mikey isn't as forgiving and nice as the present Mikey. So Future Raph would feel immense shame and try hard to earn forgiveness.

i think it's implied Future Mikey is so much like Raphael from the current timeline. No jokes, too serious. And I think I read somewhere that he became so dedicated on his training. That he might be the best version of mikey in the tmnt 2003 universe, fighting wise. but in the process, he lost his humor/who he was. And maybe Raphael (and Baxter, and future leo if we get one).... could help him reopend that side of him again?

That's precisely what I was thinking. Baxter, and in some ways his future brothers, heal his spirit and heart. Baxter is a rather egotistical person but he's not heartless and can tell Future Mikey is hurting. He befriends the older turtle because they genuinely connect due to bitter natures and Baxter wants to be good for Mikey seeing that despite his hurt, he always wants to do the right thing and be good to others.

also my headcanon is mikey maybe was with future baxter. or at least got his metal parts from him. maybe feelings developed but they didn't get too serious being on opposite sides. maybe at most friends with benefits. and when future baxter died it was just another person mikey cared about died. And might make him more protective of Baxter as well.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Ooooooo I really love that. Future Mikey bonds with present Baxter easier Bc of it and the two become strong friends and then get together as a couple

Now I kind of want Future Mikey and Raph in a thread to end up sparring. Like Raph is trying to get through to Mikey/apologize. And Mikey telling him it's 30 years too late. And Raph's anger gets the best of him and they end up sparring... And maybe Mikey wins easier than he normally would have. Like I always figured Mikey and Donny might have been closer in skill fighting wise. Leo and Raph seemed more on a higher tier. So Mikey beating him quicker would prove how much he changed being on his own for thirty years. And make Raph respect his brother more with how skilled he got. And then Mikey tells him to leave him alone. That they may be allies but they are not brothers. His brothers died 30 years ago when they left him.

So Mikey wouldn't make it easy for him... and maybe it doesn't end well. like mikey leaving and raphael feeling like he let his brother down.

And I just realized Mikey is the TMNT version of Captain Hook without the hook. lost his hand. xD

Sure. Like Future Raph tries to talk down to Future Mikey, because he thinks Future Mikey is still a easy-going guy underneath, but Mikey literally verbally and physically proves otherwise. And their emotions cause a spar that Future Mikey wins. And technically Mikey is the most naturally talented but he gets lazy/unfocused, but if he got his shit together he'd be better than all of them. So Mikey winning shows how much has changed which makes Future Raph realize he fucked up big time. And Future Raph tries to appeal to Mikey's better nature again(Without trying to act like the big protective brother and treat Mikey a little more equally) only for Mikey to basically tell him to piss off. Which causes Future Raph to realize he needs to try way harder.

Baxter and David of course would help them both heal and reconcile as time goes by but yeah, at first Future Mikey is not having it.

got a few of my apps done. not sure if you saw future mikey's... but since they didn't say much details i kinda of went expanded a little. like i remembered baxter was a brain by the time donny got there. so i was thinking after donny vanished at the time he would be human or at least a cyborg. so he and mikey fall for each other. and with the turtles gone their separate ways and splinter taking over. he has no reason to punish baxter any further. so he stays a cyborg.... and for 10 years or so baxter/mikey have like a 10 year relationship. And one day mikey's coming to propose to him with a ring, to try to get baxter to come with him.... but shredder has found out and destroys baxter's body putting him his brain into that tube thing for his betrayal. and critically injures mikey in a fight. making him think he killed baxter. mikey escapes barely and licks his wounds but he's lost someone else he cares about.

then when hun and baxter are rescued from shredder's forces mikey learns what really happened to baxter. the shame causes him to leave the rebellion and go into hiding for 5 years.. then donny shows up and pulls him back into the war...... and Future Baxter is one of the first deaths causing Mikey to snap and maybe not think as clearly. And the Karai Bots were able to get him. And in Mikey's mind Baxter wouldn't be dead if he hadn't dated him. if he'd just stayed a prisoner or escaped sooner he'd be alive. no one else knows he was with future baxter except for shredder. so it'd be fun if that gets revealed to Future Raphael and Baxter.... that future mikey had a secret boyfriend for 10 years that basically got tortured and then killed in front of him 20 years later.

future boys all need therapy.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Mannnn this will really make Future Mikey and Present Baxter go off to a really interesting start. Present Baxter basically falls in love with him which makes Future Mikey rekindle that spark(remind him of the first time in a positive way) and the two heal from it. And Present Baxter I would argue is a lot more ambitious than future Baxter was, so he will be majorly(almost obsessively) prepared for any outcome so Future Mikey NEVER gets hurt again. Basically Baxter will help Future Mikey rekindle his brotherhood with Future Raph(But not without saying how much Future Raph sucks in his own blunt manner)

But yeah, the future boys hopefully will heal from their emotional wounds.

[Nostalgia Chick]

And when Raph finds out....

"I want to resurrect Shredder so I can kill him again." xD

Also i think it'd be fun if mikey can only get a full night's sleep sleeping next to baxter or tied down. like he got so used to being on that slab that givin up control relaxes him. And maybe Baxter's one of the first to see he's not sleeping well. and this might be the start they bond. like he builds a special bed for him to sleep in and they bond all over again. and maybe future mikey ends up revealing what happened. and baxter tells him that he could see what his future self saw him in and that he was still beautiful. and a relationship could form.
