Oh me? Just thinking about the Mikey development we were robbed of with ride szn2 being cut short.

Thanks for asking

Michelangelo is super under appreciated and here’s why (tmnt comic spoilers ahead)

It drives me nuts when people boil Mikey down to “the dumb one” or “the silly one” (I’m looking at you 2012) because he is not just a one-dimensional character. He has many layers.

Mikey is such an important part of the team because of his compassion and empathy. He has a deep emotional connection with his loved ones, and seeks to connect even with their foes in hoping to stop the fighting. I would go as far to say he is more emotionally intelligent than his brothers, and every decision he makes is guided by his heart, which is a driving point of his character.

Here’s a few examples of things he’s done that reflect this point:

Becomes friends with Woody, who works at a pizza place and is able to bring them pizzas

Trying to defuse the fight with Slash when the turtles first met him, and later when he finds out Slash is part of the mutanimals gives him candy and befriends him.

Leaves Splinter when he decides to lead the foot clan because Mikey knows it will only lead to more violence. His brothers try to convince him to come back, but after Splinter tells Jenny to kill someone they realize Mikey was right and leave Splinter as well.

Holding a Christmas party to raise the spirits of his brothers after they left Splinter

Becoming friends with all of the mutanimals, even though he disagrees with Hob and the things he does

And that’s only a couple examples. The point is that Michelangelo deserves more appreciation. It probably saddens him that he isn’t able to live normally among humans, but it never stops him from making a friend around every corner.

Which is why every time I think of Mikey I always think of the quote “He wishes only to love…and to be loved.” And honestly? He deserves to.

Trying to find a concise way to describe Centaurworld to the uninitiated and so far I’ve settled on “what if Samurai Jack was sent to the Care Bears universe instead of the future. And was also a horse.”

Mikey (any version)

Chaotic good (though that may be wishful thinking lmao)

Middle child!

random experiment: reblog with your favourite turtle (specify what incarnation if u want), your alignment, and if your the oldest/middle/youngest or only child in the tags…

y’know, for science

Despite all the relationships inside tmnt 2012 and the guys having their ways of interacting with each other (a lot of the time fighting), it wasn't an abusive household...

Yeah it was different to how they portrayed them in Rise and how they were brought up had a massive effect on that, but taking what they had and calling it abusive is a major exaggeration. 2012 has portrayed the love the family had for each on countless occasions but that gets shoved under the rug as soon as they wanna compare it to Rise.

Both iterations showed a great example of what it's like to have brothers, the good and the dirty stuff, but they both had just as many links to the other as well as the differences both shows have

Nah fam 2012 was abusive asdfhjk. No parent is perfect, but the was 2012 Splinter overtly favored Leo to the point where, after his death he only addressed Leo specifically when his other grieving sons were right there. He also never gave them the choice, he put them in a feud with a man he had beef with. He made them soldiers, and pushed specifically both Leo and Donnie to breaking points bc they were under such pressure to find and cure Splinter’s daughter all while Splinter sat back and barely joined the search.

All of this is a byproduct of poor writing but it was still compelling if u looked at it through the lenses of “this is what happens when u live in a toxic, abusive household”. And 2012 could have been successfully less frustrating if they would have just acknowledged that this was intentionally meant to portray a sucky family dynamic instead of trying to play it off as normal.

Ultimately 2012 Splinter fostered the tense and strained relationships between his kids, didnt really make the important decisions and left a majority of it on Leo- who then projected his stress onto his brothers, namely Donnie. Then 2012 Splinter knew his favortism was causing Raph a lot of anger and hurt, and did nothing but teach him how to channel that anger...instead of ya know, not favoring Leo to an extreme. He also never spoke to Mikey asfdghjkkl

And when Leo got beaten into a coma, Splinter convinced him his pain was all in his head to get him to recover quicker just to send him out to fight his battles again. He also taught them healing hands mad late and only taught it to Leo and not Donnie who...was the family medic at the time.

Like cmon this is abusive atp! Still interesting! But still abusive!

Jake…..why didn’t you wait for me? 

Adventure Time: Distant Lands “Together Again” 

thinking abt how in “bitter work” when sokka sees aang and he’s immediately like “do you have any meat.” like obviously the answer is no. aang is a vegetarian. why would sokka ask that? it feels kind of obvious to just say “well he was hungry and desperate,” but honestly, that explanation doesn’t really sit right with me. sokka spends that episode stuck in a hole, and he occupies his time by bargaining with the universe. he’s basically doing an extended bit for his own amusement. when he asks a vegetarian monk if he has any meat moments after swearing to become a vegetarian himself, he isn’t really asking aang; no, he’s making that joke for himself, and for god.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you read a lot of sokka’s jokes as self-aware bits that he is performing for his own entertainment out of boredom (or letting himself be the butt of the joke for the entertainment of others) everything else about his character starts to click into place too. there are definitely areas in which he lacks self-awareness (his own self-worth is a big one), but he has always understood his role in the universe—and if you can’t be the hero, then you may as well be the fool.

sokka’s self-esteem is so fucking low he is literally incapable of processing any form of compliment. the problem isn’t just that no will tell him he’s good, but that when they do, he refuses to believe them.

it’s so fucking tragic how sokka can’t recall his mother’s face but he can remember exactly what the emblem on the flags that raided his village when he was a child looked like.

Just Katara looking 💯 like her father...

...and Sokka looking 💯 like his mother

Denki is so incredibly underrated. He is often written off for his for his quirk drawbacks short circuiting his brain,  academic performance, or as simple comic relief,  but  His quirk is extremely powerful and has so much potential.  Once he learns more control and how to deal with its drawbacks, he is going to be a formidable pro-hero. If i was a villain and some guy showed up who was essentially a human short and long range teaser, id surrender real quick regardless of my own quirk! Trauma can also be a powerful motivator and he and his class defiantly have plenty of that after the War arc. 

I know you said you weren’t planning on being friendly, but I like you. You’re totally a future hero.
