I feel like, after a few initial fights with the turtles, Hypno and Warren start to see them more as the kids they are and less as major threats. Sure, they packed a punch, but the goofiness became endearing. Especially so after Hypno and Warren got together and stopped dancing around each other.
Hypno grew a little fond first, as Warren was stubborn with his "greatest enemy" thing. Soon, the worm man would let up a bit too.
So, during one of their fights, Hypno was quick to notice the teens were not giving much effort into the fight. In fact, they all looked exhausted and emotionally drained. He may be an evil mutant magician hippo, but that didn't mean he didn't have any good in him.
So, he stops the fight, much to the confusion of the turtles. "Stop stop stop! This isn't right, I mean. Look at you four! You're all dead on your feet! There's no fun or challenge if a string gust of wind could knock you down."
Obviously, he's met with protest and it just sounds like whiny children. "Bup bup bup. This is your last chance before I hypnotize you into self-care. Yknow, Warren taught me the wonders of self-care and a spa day, but that's beside the point."

The point I'm trying to make is I need more Hypono/Warren interaction with the turtles that isn't purely fighting each other
“I have a headcannon that when Leo is about to come out as gay he actually runs to Hypno and Warren for advice because they're the only other lgbtq+ people he knows.”
Mikey's monthly mandatory family dinners are very chaotic. At first it was just the turtles, April, Splinter, and Draxum. Later on Warren and Hypno were invited (read: held hostage by Mikey's puppy-dog eyes).
Now, Warren still holds a grudge towards Draxum for taking Charlotte. Hypno is glaring daggers as he always puts himself between Draxum and Warren.
Splinter, not really knowing what his boys get up to, tries to awkwardly break the ice.
"Sooo, Hippo and Worm, how did you two meet my sons?"
"Ohhhh you know... the way most people meet... through trying to murder them when they try to thwart our evil plans..."
Its weird how all of the civilians that got turned into Mutants never get angry or seek revenge on Draxum for being turned into monsters.
Like do they know that this MF that just came and barge in their life to talk about turtles is the reason that they spend their life facing hardships that they never wanted and now is in hiding from society?
They all seems to be trilled on the plan to get revenge on the brothers for stopping them committing public crimes, but seems to be fine with the guy who pushed them into a life of crimes in the first place??
