2k3 Mikey - Family Meme; all that apply uwu

| Talking about family

“Oh sure I don’t mind spill the beans about my family, unless? Wait Leo and Don would tell me to be carful who I drop information to sooo you promise you aren’t some like agent working for Bishop? Or a dragon? Or a foot ninja…oh uh what other bad guys do we got again? Guess it’s fine you don’t look like you would anyway.”

Send 👔 for my muse to talk about their father

“That be master Splinter, yeah we all tend to only really call Splinter by his title of master but its no cause of any stuffy reason. We all just respect our father over anyone else in the world. I mean my Dad is basically Superman! How could we not respect the heck outta him? I mean Splinter this big time bad ass! OH uh don’t tell I said that? But it’s still true. But he’s not scary honestly I was shocked to learn he was a battle nexus champion. Splinter like the Clark Kent version around us. Always giving us wisdom in his weird vague lessons and drinking tea while he watches his stories on the TV. And still looking after us. Who knew he could take out half a foot armys worth without losing his breath?”

I think it’s obvious that Mikey respects Splinter a great deal, but he is still very much his dad. So Mikey sees him as such it’s kind of like forgetting ones parents can be people with a history and life outside thier kids. Though to be fair considering the mutant families situation might add more layers on to why the turtles never thought much on it XD ANYWAY! I feel this really applies with Mikey quite a bit, Mikey as known isn’t the most focused student and often finds ways to get out of training and he tends to Hal ass thing often. Really he just gets by on his natural talent alone. But the fact he got to face off with Splinter in the battle nexus and even was the one to take the title out of all four of the turtles? I feel is this nice connection with Mikey and Splinter. Even linking it to the episode with mr.touch and mr. go which focuses all on Mikey and Spliter or later in FF with the gaduration episode. It's not often a relationship on I feel but I think it's really sweet that mikey looks upto o his dad as a hero and even has followed in his foot steps.

Send 🤜 for my muse to talk about (one of) their sibling(s)

"Oh boy where do I start even? I mean you got my bros of course, the only other people like me. Which can be lonely but also not lonely all at once. There is Von she's always felt like a older sister to me. April too she's always looking out for us. Heck I got Casey as another brother even guess I'm not hurting when it comes to siblings? And I'm pretty sure Don gonna marry Von and Raph and Casey? Well they will for sure be a forever situation too so it keeps growing."

The turtle may be the only ones of thier kind but you can at least count on the fact that they are not losing out on connections at least. Their strongest bonds being between the four of them due to being the only four mutant turtles after all. Mikey being the youngest of the family really sticks to that fact even getting away with the ‘baby’ status he has that in truth? All his brothers kind of fee into in thier own ways XD I feel Donnie is he most guilty of this often giving Mikey his way because it means having peace. Like Letting Mike tag along with him and Raph to the junk yard but not to help letting Mikey fool aroun which Raph dose complain about. despite how much of an annoyance can be though? He often defends all his brothers especially Leo showing he may be a goof but he’s not unaware of what is going on in his life. Such like with Leo. Mikey is th one to tell the rest to cut him some slack because he understands why Leo is acting the way he has and understands Leo is already being tough on himself Leo dosen’t need anyone else adding to it. Even Rah he looks up to when things get dicey he thinks of what Raph would do because well Raph is the biggest risk taker out of his brothers and often Raph is who Mikey tends to go to when scared even if Raphs going to mock him for it.

Of course Mikey’s family has expanded over the years. I have stated it before but he dose see Casey as a older figure as well, Casey usually one who seems most able to put up with Mikey’s antics seeing how both of them are seen as being obnoxious though it could be why Casey tends to be unphased, than again Casey can even annoy Mikey so maybe it’s just Mikey met his match XD I think it’s cute how Casey will listen to Mikey’s complaints and dosen’t dismiss it as being childish like when he was hoping to find the next comic in the current series he was invested in. Casey offers to take him to a store outside of town cause it might have what they want. XD I’m also claiming it cannon that Casey totes bought Mikey a handheld game system XD

When it comes to sisters? It’s been a new experience for Mikey he’s grow up with boys all his life so Casey isn’t much new to deal with. But seeing how I write my Mikey as being gender-fluid Mikey always had other things he wants to be into but felt notable to because well his brothers and all very on the masculine side of things hell Don and Raph both clapped when Mikey burped before having a second to be ‘oh wait that’s gross’ XD Mikey has a feminine side to him he dosen’t often get to explore. Von of course being the first to really give him that chance seeing how she was the one to give him polish and even a pallet to play with.

Of course April is always his first big sister I feel Mikey often shows more of his curious side around her April just is more age to ask things towards not that VOn isn’t but Von is very logical and he’s not really look for that he just wants to explore and learn. Of course he started the tradition of having girls nights with the pair of them so they often spend time together thanks to that.

Send 🤛 for my muse to talk about (one of) their cousin(s)/niece(s)/nephew(s)

"I love my nieces! I used kidnap Ari all the time with Raph when she was first born. Well it was more like surprise baby sitting for Donnie. I didn't really have a partner in crime todo that with Summer besides Don is one thing both Raph and Casey chasing me down? Yeah I aint looking for a purple dragon experience here."

Mikey is a very proud uncle/aunt to Summer and Ariel. Ariel is his sidekick as he often refers to her as such he’s always taking her serious when it comes to pudge the fish and since her first freak out about a lack of peanut butter, he makes sure they always have it in stock in the lair. When it comes to Summer I don’t often get to show it but I feel Mikey was a bad influence on her and showed her how to slack off XD Summer’spretty bad about doing school work after all she much rather do anything else XD She also suffers from paying attention XD I like to compare the last ronin Mikey to 03 Mikey so I feel as he gets older he dose learn the importance of focus and seeing how he has learned that it’s important in the show? I feel he will also be the one to help Summer with her own focus issues uwu

I feel Mikey much more fills in an older brother role to his niece over an uncle roll. Seeing how I feel each girl has like their designated uncle, Don for Summer and Raph for Ariel. But Mikey more of an older sibling with the pair of them hes still very kid like so he tends to better understand how they feel and how to talk to them and takes what they say seriously on a more even playing feild.

Send 🐾 for my muse to talk about (one of) their pet(s)

"I have my cutie Klunk the best ninja cat a turtle could ever asks for." -[ cowboy casey au]

"Along with Klunk I have two chickens that Casey let me have since I took care of his chickens well we were hiding out at his farm. I named them Sonny and Cher, they are both girls but I still like the name picks besides their clucks? Like music and there's two of them!"

XD I just combined the two, any way as like the show Mikey has his orange cat Klunk, his Christmas kitty and his favorite little Buddy ;3; You never see Mikey without Klunk in the lair the cat often hanging out on his shoulders or in the same space as the turtle. When Klunk sadly passes away it will cut Mikey deep he gets into a depressive epiosde even for a bit uwu Sonny and Cher are in truth named after the same chickens from the 2nd Venom movie XD cause I could get the line out of my head about them being Venoms friends. A gift from Casey before they went to return to the city to see about getting their home back and ofc helping out April with her destory apartment and store. We'll gonna ignore the whole how do chickens mange in the sewer seeing how Klunk dose just fine not to mention the mutants and even April when she lived with the turtles for a time. I think them having the chickens is a great benfit over all since well they can get eggs something fresh that they dont get often. Mikey takes very good care of them and he always sends Caseys updates about them or ask about anything if he get worried about thier health those are his babies he dont want them to get hurt ;3;

✩ { @aflockoffeathers } ✩ - Continued from ★

{ ☆ } Mark waits with bated breath during the time it takes for Falcon to process his question, tongue flitting across dry lips as he swallows a lump in his throat. Feathers ruffling apprehensively, he picks at his sleeves, tearing threads from the comfortable material; Mark having shed his public-image lame-ass cardigan for a softer pair of pajamas, since they were just chilling at home. Wincing at the shakiness in Falcon’s voice, it takes all his willpower to keep from tugging at his feathers instead, fingers gripping the end of his sleeves so harshly that knuckles turn pale.

This is a horrible idea. It’s a horrible idea. It’s a really stupid horrible stupid ridiculous stupid idea... One of the WORST ones Mark has come up with, which is really saying something when taking into account the many, many not-the-best ideas he’s had in the—  breath catches when Falcon says that he actually wants Mark as a husband, eyes widening and gaze snapping back to his boyfriend— technically-husband, but still... Swallowing thickly, a shiver runs down his spine, jumbling the knots in his stomach as the entire world seems to fall away. Nothing existing aside from him, Falcon, and the sickening yet exhilarating emotions swarming within the pit of his guts. It’s like he’s either about to throw up, pass out, or cry... 

None of which are appealing options, so Mark settles for gazing in utter disbelief.

Even with Falcon looking to the side, Mark’s gaze remains riveted on his partner, knowing that Falcon wouldn’t lie to him about something like this and yet finding it very difficult to believe that after all Mark has done, after everything he’s shown about what kind of partner he is— let alone what sort of husband he’d be —the other man still wants him... Stiffening a bit when Falcon looks at him again, feathers fluff in a wave that courses through his body and cheeks paint with pink. Uncharacteristically speechless as Falcon continues, Mark winces at the mention of how he’d acted earlier, gaze averting with shame as he opens his beak, uncertain what he plans on saying but feeling like it should be SOMETHING...

❝�� I... I uh—  ❞  He weakly begins, a startled whimper escaping when rings are placed and held on his palm. Closing his eyes for a moment, he takes a deep breath, trying to still his thoughts and steady his heartbeat. It’s difficult to think when all he hears is it ramming against his ribcage. He knows what he wants, even if it was a shock to himself. But saying it... Explaining it in a way that won’t make him out to be impulsive or- or irrational or... or too immature for what he’s suggesting, that’s a challenge Mark isn’t certain he’s up for. Not when it comes to Falcon and his generous nature. His uncanny ability to placate Mark even when he’s at his most frantic, his quickness to set aside his own dreams or desires.... for him.

Mark wants Falcon to BELIEVE that he genuinely wants this.... That they both do.

❝  I know that I was... a lot, when- when you brought it up before...  ❞  Mark begins, eyes squeezing shut tighter and shoulders hunching before he finally releases a breath he hadn’t known he was holding. Loosening his posture, eyes lift to look at Falcon, Mark unable to keep them there for long before he’s awkwardly glancing around the room,  ❝  But I was just... Y’know, I was.... scared. I was scared and surprised and really not ready for that kinda talk, I guess. But the thing is? I’m... I’m not- as... scared anymore.  ❞  That sounds lame. Weak and uncertain... Chastising himself for the clear lack of confidence, he emits a frustrated whine, knees bouncing impatiently as needing to expel some nervous energy,  ❝  I mean- I’m NOT scared. I’m not because— ... I like- this. All of this. Us. I LOVE us and I want more of us...  ❞  

Looking up at Falcon, all he can do is silently plead that he understands,  ❝  I was scared because I thought that getting married would mean you’d get sick of me and hate me and- and I didn’t wanna make this like- a trap or some- some kinda contract-thing that you’d wanna get out of. I wanted to KNOW you wanted to be with me... but I- That hasn’t happened yet and it might not ever because we’ve been technically married this whole time and we pretty much act married for the most part and... and it’s GREAT.  ❞  Wow, he’s talking a lot. Wincing at his ramblings, Mark bites his bottom lip and looks down, squirming slightly in his seat. How bad would it be if he just ran away right now?

❝  I could NEVER be miserable with you... You make my life so much better.  ❞  Peeking up at Falcon, he lamely finishes with,  ❝  I just...... I really wanna be your husband. Honest.  ❞  { ☆ }

[2k7 Teen!Ariel and Mikey - hughughughug]

Ariel was quiet as she approached Mikey, a bot of white orchids, blue hyacinths, and lily of the valley's, in her hands. Apologies, that's what the flowers meant. Least, they're supposed to represent someone saying sorry. Ariel owned a lot of those right now. Mikey the biggest one though,

"Uhm, Uncle Mikey," She speaks up, "I uh, I bought you some flowers, for your greenhouse..."

It was the most she had said to him in a very long time. Ariel had sort of been avoiding him for a very long time. Let the anger consume her, let it ruin so much. Ariel blamed no one but herself. Placing the pot of flowers down, she begins to rub at her hands, frowning softly as she thinks,

"Uncle Mikey?" Ariel says softly, "I'm, I'm sorry, for all the things I said and did to you, and for being so angry at you, it wasn't fair of me to be so mean, and I'm sorry."

She didn't want to be angry at him anymore. Ariel loved her Uncle Mikey, she really did. Ariel lifted a sleeve to her face, quickly wiping her eyes, because she really did feel awful,

"You're my Uncle and my best friend and I want to be best friends with you again, if you want that too," Ariel admits, "Because I really am sorry Uncle M'n'M."

| Muse interaction

Mikey was starting at a steam eyes pointed out towards the leafs sprouting from it. Some browning at the ends he needed to cut them off. He learned that you could use the dead leafs al like fertilizer for the plants. From when he was looking something over with Yvonne. Least when he asked she made it sound pretty easy. Would also come in handy not like he could that easily well go and get that stuff on his own. Sure April could always help but? well since everything he was trying to show some independence here. Maybe that was why he did what he had back then. The fear of what to do as everyone around him seemed able to move forward on to paths he no longer could follow them on. Something about always thinking it be at least the four of them together, Snipping at the leafs and cursing under his breath when he cut one he shouldn't have. Trying to give a shake of his thoughts but it was hard to escape them right now.

Mikey could still hear everything Ariel told him that day how upset and angry she was with him how she lashed out and told him the wrongs he committed. How could he not know that? He was the one who did it. And worse he could even say he was pushed or forced. Maybe a little but in the end it was a choice HE made all on his own. Leo was doing the leader thing improving being better. Raph and Don were starting families. It just left Mikey feeling stuck. So when he was left to speak with Karai? he knows it was stupid and he should have ya know thought it through more. Mikey honestly expected to be fully kicked out of his family after everything went down. Because of him once again there is a Shredder roaming around in the world after all. Sure it's not the world ending kind of Shredder but still. His brothers most of all should have been the ones upset with him to tell him off scold him even.

Not that they hadn't nah he got a lot of that Leo being disappointed in him hurt, Raph's lack of usual insults when getting on his case was dreadful, and that lack of understanding in Don's voice.

He cut another leaf. Donatello. All his brothers said they forgave him Leo understood he been tempted himself. Raph? said Mikey dealt with enough once getting a proper sorry at least. Had Mikey not done that enough with Don? He knows he apologized to them all but maybe Don needed more? Why else would it hurt him so deep that his own daughter could hear about it? Mikey set the clippers down with a heavy sigh.

"Heh sorry dude, I'm gonna make you look green and bald like me if I keep going." his plants had become his best companions lately, Since he hadn't gone back to the lair in a good long while after all. Ariel was there a lot, she should Leo there and Master Splinter too. She didn't get much room to roam anyway so he could retreat and give her the space she needed. Another sigh. Mikey wasn't sure what hurt the most here, how Ariel lashed out and told him everything he thinks and feels all the time as if she was shaped by the thoughts that ran through his mind all the time. Or knowing that his brother didn't really forgive him. Even after asking for so much help with this place. It's why Mikey was trying not to do that anymore. Not just with Don with everyone.

"it's lonely here." He says, course it is Mikey been basically isolating himself. "Wonder if Splinter been watching any new stories of his. Im best weeks behind on the one we watch. I kind of miss Raph being a jerk to me, and Casey. Miss Summer telling me about her games. Miss Leo trying to get me to train with him. Miss my girl nights with April and Von...can't really do them here. Could maybe if I got more places to sit?" He'd been sleeping on an old couch he found so it was basically his bed. "Hope Ari's okay...I know things went down bad with Bishop after all." he was there but not for the aftermath of course. Mikey just sighed once more before he set his hand son to the surface of the table before pushing off to get back up to his feet.

Pruning could wait he guesses. But that when he freezes even with the foggy glass of the green house its very easy to tell when someone was here. More so when your as tall as Ariel is. Mikey didn't have much time to stand and think he made his way to the door and opened it quickly. Left to just stare at his niece unsure what to even say. Shell he didn't even know why she was here in the first place. Let alone with flowers. Mikey was starting to get an idea for the different kinds but some of the flowers she had he never really see before. Still he was unsure why she had them. This couldn't be going against her want for space right? She clearly was here because she wished to see him right? HE just offers her his best smile.

"Uhm, Uncle Mikey,"

"Uh hey Squirt? you uh lost?" He jokes because he doesn't know what else to do here.

"I uh, I bought you some flowers, for your greenhouse..."

She likely heard about it from one of the others. He looked them a moment and smiles more they were pretty the ones he didn't the know of to. Guess he'll have a reason to though. He could ask? Be a good conversation starter. He was happy with the little bit she had said now even. The most she's spoken to him since the day she got upset with him. He really hopes she stays. They have so much to catch up on to tall about so many sorrys he owed to her he been thinking them through every since still unsure whi h one was the best.

Hardly noticing how Ariel had to set the pot of flowers down since he hadn't reach for them still yet. He wasn't sure if that breech the need for space here. Lookong over to them he knows the lily's of the valley for sure they actually were a favorite of his. So, getting to see living ones?

"Uncle Mikey?"

Looking back to her, offering a faint smile. He had so much to say his mouth was trembling and his beak felt like it was on fire. The words just on the tip of his tounge. But he promised he would give her space. Thar meant the space to decide how much content she was okay with.

"I'm, I'm sorry, for all the things I said and did to you, and for being so angry at you, it wasn't fair of me to be so mean, and I'm sorry."

Mieky didn't really understand why she was saying sorry. Far as he was sure it should be him who has to day he's sorry.

"You're my Uncle and my best friend and I want to be best friends with you again, if you want that too,"

Okay thar got to Mikey easily. See her wip that tear away trying her best to say sorry and mine her side know. Mikey was scared to shead tears himself moving his mask down to hang around his neck so he could better wipe at his own eyes. Her tear may be regert or sorrow but for him? It was pure joy. He turly thought she never wanted anything to do with again.

"Because I really am sorry Uncle M'n'M."

"Aw come here" He reaches out his arms and brings her in for a good tight squeeze. He can't quite match Raph in hugs but he's sure his are warmer than anyone's. "Ari, ya don't got to apologize family-" He let his words trail off. Family dosent need to apologize, he used to believe that but with what he knows about Don? Still hanging over her hang even in this moment?

"Ya don't gotta apologize to me at least." He corrects before letting go for a moment to better look up at her even with tear filled sky blue eyes. "I should be saying sorry anyway I didn't know you were upset and I should have checked on you I guess I somehow missed the signs and I'm sorry about thst kiddo." He tries to explain. "You always gonna be my best friend though even if we have a spat again. U could never leave behind my sidekick right?" He offers before moving to grab the pot of flowers.

"How about this, you help me find places and jome.for these and we can ot all even, yeah?"

"I guess that losses it's meaning seeing how big she got! I mean have you see her dude! She's is damn tall! Comes in handy though, if I need a hand grabbing something she doesn't mind helping out. Very much like her dad that way. But nah it was never about her height in the first place. Maybe cause I was one of full 'adults' around that just played with the girls when they grew up. And one more often around with not much to do. I got to spend a good deal time around Ari. Since Sums would go to school here and there. Ari was like my little sidekick ya see? And what I?" he waits for any chance to figure it out "I'm a big turtle, and back then she was a little turtle. Well sorta turtle. Anyway! were like Crush and Squirt! that's why shes still Squirt in my phone. I still call her that but I don't think she knows I don't mean it in terms of her height."

"Course, I remember Ari's drawing. It's been on my phone since well forever. Once Don made her own t-phone? I new exactly what I was going put for her photo. It's sorta embarrassing but having someone look up to you? when you feel like the family screw up? it's well nice. I guess that's why it hurt so much when she got mad at me for a time. Ari always made me feel like I was no different from my brothers. And seeing how I always sort was down on myself and compared to them too much? Yeah. Having Ari always excited to tell me about her swims show me things she found. Want to see what comics I had or ask about stores about the turtle titan? I dunno maybe I just ate up the attention. Might not be that deep heh."

I don't know I feel like she lacks confidence why Sums is a good match to her cause shes more daring. Helps her sister to move and such. But I feel if Ari really just found it in herself to drop what holds her back? I think she find shes just as bright.

[07 TeenAriel and Mikey]

Ariel felt awkward, she couldn't help but do so, as she stepped through Mikey's greenhouse. It was very nice in here, full of so many flowers, all so beautiful and bright. Ariel wish she could focus on that, and not how uncomfortable she felt. It was her fault for blowing up, and yes, amends were made, or at least, being made, but she couldn't help the way she felt in that moment. She wanted to talk to Mikey, but she didn't know what about. Maybe it was too soon for her to just try and act like things were back to normal - things were never going to be normal again...

Soft sigh escapes her, Ariel glancing around, soon seeing a garden fork - but it has her smiling as she grabs it,

"Hey, I've never seen a Dinglehopper like this before Auncle Mikey," She tries to lighten her own mood, "Sorta looks like Raph's Sai."

Not that it stopped her from pushing the prongs between her green hair, not caring for any dirt that was now going to be stuck in her locks. She smiles, spinning green around the garden fork, getting it thoroughly stuck,

"What? You're the one that taught me what a Dinglehopper is."

She says it with a mile, trying to tug the equipment free. It only tangles further. So Ariel gives up, grins, and lets the metal hang in her hair,

"What do you think?" Ariel asks, still trying to act normal, "Nice - right?"

| Muse Interaction

"Nice right?" Mikey goes on to say leading Ariel in further to his greenhouse. His spirits were a bit lighter and brighter ever since she forgave him. Mask warn around his neck when he was busy working away in his own place. Old worn and torn garden gloves managed to fit just fine on his oddly numbered hand. Mikey walking over to point out some new lamps her father helped him out with. "ya dad still the smartest guy around, no matter what I did or tried, the lights just would not stay on? The wires kept like sparking and sure it looked cool buuut I don't think spontaneous fires, work great in a green house?" Mikey wasn't lost on the fact Ariel wasn't talking right now. He figured the poor girl still felt bad about snapping at him. So, he could just fill in for the lack of conversation on his own end.

Mikey giving her a little grand tour of the place. Once he got somethings sorted out it was coming together well more like Donnie took time out to help. Getting a water system in the works, fixing up the lights and all that other stuff that went over their head but Don was able to least give him a run down on what he would at least need in order to make sure the plants inside were getting treated well. Mostly he grew flowers but he had some strawberry plants Mikey wanted to maybe add more like that but he figured starting slow was best. Maybe he could grow tomatoes and learn to make marinara sauce? Small little goals and plans, it was what he felt would be a nice start for himself. Thinking to far ahead still sometimes scared and worried himself. Didn't need to go out and opps join the foot again.

Ya know making it a joke somehow doesn't help it feel any better. But it's what he did crack jokes. Just trying to get that old flow together again.

"Hey, I've never seen a Dinglehopper like this before Auncle Mikey,"

"A wah?" He asks, looking over his shoulder and up towards Areil eyeing the garden from she picked up. Only slightly recalling that's what they called the fork in The Little Mermaid.

"Sorta looks like Raph's Sai."

Mikey offers a smile at that comment "Yeah just don't make him mad when hes got it, trust me last time he stopped by-"

Mikey start to his story came to a sudden pause as he watched Ariel work the prongs of the garden fork through her hair. Not so much finding it funny as maybe a tad on the odd sight if anything. Offering a tilt of his head as he watched, slightly grimacing as he could easily see dirt working into Ariel's hair. What a waste! She had such nice pretty hair too! Sure it worked for comb through his soil of the many flower beds but Mikey had a feeling is wasn't the best for hair. He offers an odd chuckle her way pointing out to the thing. "uh Ari?"

"What? You're the one that taught me what a Dinglehopper is."

This might be why Don used to get on his case so much for stuff like that uh? Watch as the prongs had starting to do their job but in hair? it just cause the strands to tangle up. Mikey's eyes widen a little as he took a step forward hands held out wanting to take it out but unsure what to do as she seemed to find the fork getting resistance. Yeah Mikey starting to understand Don's point now whoops sorry Don.

"What do you think?"

Mikey maybe shouldn't but he can't help how the laugh works out of his beak making a little 'pfft' as if he was leaking air. He was trying so hard to hold it in, that he could feel tears stinging at the corners of his eyes. But it was only made worse as he watch how the frok just hung in her hair like some accessory nearly.

"Nice - right?"

Nope he can't he slams a hand to his beak but the force of his laugh was far to strong as he starting to burst out laughing. Wrapping an arm around himself as he needed to lean forward eyes squeezing shut tight as he continued on to laugh harder and harder. "Sorry" he manages to breath out "sorry I pfft sorry." He was truly sorry for laughing but that wasn't helping him to stop anytime soon clearly. Moving his hand back to his beak as he bite at a finger hoping the dull pain would get him to clam down but the fit of laughter just kept coming. Slowly they resort to trying to control his breathing. Oh, that seems to be working. Breathing in slow and steady till he gained control over the laugh he was giving. grabbing at his mask he had around his neck to dab at his eyes to wipe his tears away he finally gets enough control back to move and stand.

"Hmm no." He goes to finally answer, moving to walk over towards her now. "I mean brown and green look great buuuut" Mikey extends the word out as he starts working to untangle the strands of hair from the prongs of the garden fork. Slowly unknotting the mess, not wanting to pull to hard. He wasn't aware how sensitive hair was when pulled. "I don't think these clumps of dirt are quite the look your going for?" He continues to tease and play into her own joke, once he gets the fork freed he just idly tosses it off to the side. A clank following once it hits the floor. As Mikey reached for her hair and held it up slightly eyeing the dirt in there still. "I mean the maintenance would just be such a pain, you would have to re place the dirt everyday? Not mentioned it'll turn into mud when ya go for those swims of yours." Slightly stepping close so he could start to shake the dirt out from her hair picking out any clumps he could for her. "And ya know ya can't be running around with two different themes either Ari, it's like clashing your colors. Man what have ya parents taught you about fashion?" Mikey asks in fake astonishment. "Dumb stuff like ph balances, or quantum physics." He blows out air at that "Who needs all of that when you have all this nice long hair!"

As to add on to his point Mikey steps over and drapes the section he been work to clean out over his own head. "I mean if I had all this hair I'd focus on that. Make it nice and shiny, keep it all healthy too. Though I think salt water meant to be good for that." He tilts his head and smiles up at her. Well aware what she was trying to do, but she didn't need to try so hard as he steps away and looks at her "What about a fishtail braid? I mean it's the perfect hair style for you right?"

03/07 Michelangelo - All Symbol Headcanons please uwu

| Send me a symbol and I will write a headcanon about…  For multimuse blogs, please specify!

MIKEY!!!! I love Mikey ;3; he's such a good character. I lowkey nah no what I Highkey absolutely hate how much fandom can or rather will initialized Mikey. Or reduce him to the comic relief of the group. Mikey is such a good character. Yeah Mikey is funny, witty and even annoying but he is very empathic. He very often is the only one who can understand where one of his brothers is coming from such as being the most aware of the burdens Leo carries that well they sort of put on him. Unlike in 2012, Leo is an unofficial leader. Mikey knows because Leo dose take to that role placed on him though it give the rest of them freedom Leo can't really have. His skill often get over looked despite the fact Mikey is actually the most athletic of his brothers he just lacks focus it's often shown and stated if he did? He would be quite the force to deal with in a fight.

𝓕 : My muse’s handwriting. (Is it good, bad, difficult to decipher, do they prefer writing by hand or with the help of some form of machine, e.t.c.) 

Mikey is for sure the more creative one of his brothers and he dose show he thinks differently than any of them do often his plans come as a surprise to the rest because of this. Of course this creative trait is due to Mikey being a free spirit and artistic to a point. Mostly his hand writing is hard to read often you can at best only make out the first letting of ever word he wrote because his brain actually thinks faster than he can react at times. When he sits and focus on writing of course he wants to make it out to look fun and pretty uwu

✈ : My muse and  traveling. (If they do it frequently and why, if they never left their home town, e.t.c.)

"Man I've been to all sorts of places, buuuuuuut clearly it's how i traveled to the top and became the battle Nexus champion!"

Mikey travels a lot but it is not by choice believe you and me. But because of a lot of things him and his brothers happened to find themselves suddenly apart of a lot of weird things. I mean hes gone to the future and other worlds but I mean furthest? has to space right?

✿ : My muse and nature. (If they are an ‘outdoorsy type’, like the sound of bird’s singing, if they have never set foot in a forest, e.t.c.) 

"Ehhh I mean its nice I guess buuuut I rather be home with the ultimate tv view experience."

Yeah Mikey is for sure a home body this is a turtle that took to the modern convince of technology and has the hardest time dealing without it. It's not he dislikes the outdoors he can take to it pretty well when he has too of course and that's the wording that should be focus on here. Mikey really likes watching tv after all and tends to find anyway todo so even skipping on training to peep in on someones else tv. But He doesn't dislike nature he loves animals and plants in fact. Luckily he was born with a green thumb even.

Mikey kind of likes that something is reliant on him and that he can make something from his own hands. Helping a plant thrive because of his care is sort of rewarding. Considering Mikey is often always being made to feel like he always the one depending on others which he dose but hardly dose his brothers seem to see him as able to do the same back. So he sort of gets that from his interest in plants.

☼ : My muse’s first memory. (Where it was, who was with them, how this memory makes them feel, e.t.c.) 

"hmm first memory? uhh I guess when I got the first comic book that got me hooked? It was an issue of Spider-Man and boy was it a fun read!" Mikey was up on the surface on Halloween, it's been said that Splinter always took the boys up on the day since they could walk around without fear or worry at the time. They stuck to a more small rural area just to be cautious still. In this neighborhood there was a lot of smaller shops so as a community they ran a sort of trick-o-treat event where kids got their candy and such from the store owners. A cookbook show was on this block and often they gave out free comic books and this is how Mikey got a lot of his comic collection started. The first he got was of course a Spider-Man Comic. A wise cracking hero? Who often distracts his villains with his smart ass mouth? Yeah someone just may have been a tad influenced.

Mikey fell in love with comic books after this he loved the stories and the plots. He wanted to be a super hero so bad. Because in the comics the humans loved heros no matter what. From humans dressed in spandex, to Aliens that took home on earth hell even mutants or meta-humans were loved by humans. So why can't that be the same for him and his family?

Of course Mikey knows being a hero comes with being selfish too and in part keeping to the shadows is something him and his family may have to do forever with no single thanks given hell even acknowledgement. Sure maybe being a hero should drive from helping but sometimes Mikey can be self severing doesn't mean he also doesn't see he has the ability to help. He often swallow his fears to step up or gets involved when he really doesn't have to. Common traits from his favorite heros.

☙ : My muse’s favourite food. (Bonus: A memory, be it good or bad, associated with said food.)

"Uh hello? Pizza?" Of course it is Pizza Mikeys favorite food to him Pizza is the best human food to ever come to be because of what all you can do with Pizaa. You don't even need to stick to marinara sauce for the base like in the case of BBQ or Chicken Alfredo Pizzas. Mikey of course like the different styles thick crust, thin crust, even stuffed. Mikey being a true Pizza lover has also tried out from Chicago style to Colorado style but of course New York style is his go to favorite. He is a new yorker through and through and they are known for having good pizza.

Mikey even likes to push the limit on what toppings he eat on a pizza and often? nothings to far out there for Mikey this boy should be on fear factor honestly.

♬ : My muse and music. (What type of music they like listening to and in what context, what music they would never listen to, e.t.c.)

"hmm I like all kinds of music really? Rap, Techno, Surf, Jimmy Buffett."

As is Mikey he is flexible on many things even when it comes to his taste in music this applies to. Mikey just likes music with energy is what it comes down to in the end. Sure Rock music is one that could fit but it's not quite the sound he is looking for he wants a more bouncy sound when he listens to music.

Mikey may be a new yorker but likes be honest this boy would thrive of Cali's vibes and just oozes the setro type of a California person. From how he talks and carries himself not to mention his Cali accent is hard to miss. Surf just ties into all of this Mikey if he could would love to surf! is why he loves to skateboard so much and loves the half pipe Donnie made just for him. He wants so badly to catch the waves! Sometimes when he's skating in the Sewer tunnels and theirs some water on the ground he likes to imagine hes out on the ocean.

↺ : My muse and the past. (Do they live in the past and struggle to let go of past grievances, or move on more easily, is there anything in their past they want to forget, e.t.c.) 

"live in the past? Why do that and why worry about whats to look forward too? Nah all about the now and current vibes" This might sound like good advice but in truth Mikey actively tries to avoid the past and all the mistakes that follow. So you can say there is a lot he wants to forget he likes to cherry pick in a sense one could say. Winning the Battle Nexus? Of course he remembers that and hangs on to even seeing it as the real only achievement he has ever been able to make happen which has been an issue seeing as he rode the high of the win for a long time even to a point Splinter saw an issue with Mikey's egos due to the win.

Mikey also isn't the best about thinking about looking ahead it fills him with anxiety in truth because he just doesn't know. It's like he is being surround by mountains of work and all he can do is focus at those peaks and how high they reach. He has no clue where to start because its just all to much.

Going where he is now? it's easier he can sort of tell whats going to happen. Him and brothers will wake for breakfast. Hell annoy Raph as they make their way to the kitchen where Leo is likely already at. Don will follow soon lured by the smell of coffee that Raph got ready for them. Mikey will start on breakfast and then They will head to the dojo and train once clean up is over. Don will go back to his lab to work, Leo may do some one on one work with Splinter, Raph might stay home or sneak away up top. Maybe its junkyard day and they head out to look for stuff. It may be friday so Mikey will call up April and such to see who wants to join movie night. some things change here and there but over all it's the same and he take comfort in all of this.

Even when things changes routines are still there, Don and Raph move out and have kids but they come by and Mikey gets to play the babies. The whole family still gets together here and there it just easier to live in his current point. It often why his mistakes can catch up to him like his mistake of joining the foot clan. Donnie asked him about his future and it set him off. He struggles with who he is and what use he even has with his family looking to the past is littered with mistakes but to the future is uncertain and open ended answers.

☾ : My muse and sleep. (How much they sleep, how much they wish to sleep, if there is something that never fails to put them to sleep, e.t.c.) 

"Gotta get those z's every now and then, early to sleep early to rise or stay up late to get more time." Mikey is someone who goes to bed at a somewhat decent time it just kind of depends. he always likes to settle down with a movie or comic and tends to pass out when his eyes have tried out this isn't always the same time every night. Sometimes hes out early sometimes hes out late. He doesn't have much trouble sleeping unless there's a lot of noise like the times he had to share a room with Raph who snores loud. But to everyone one annoyance I feel no matter how tried Mikey is? He don't have an off switch he can always seem to just get a second wind and be well Mikey.

✧ : My muse and art. (If they have an artistic side or not and why, favourite artist if they have one, e.t.c.) 

"I love it! well I mean I like street art at least and painting my skateboards, so i got a few for that reason."

Mikey loves art but he's not versed in it's history type of art lovers. So he doesn't know the classics he knows him and his brothers were named after artist but he doesn't known much about them just that they were old artist guys in the past but will make reference to his name sake at times. Art isn't a big thing for him he's always colored with crayons as a kid and ate them of course. Like to give some character to things such as the decks of his boards and he has tried his hand at nail art. Something that improves over time if he has the right supplies that is of course.

❃ : My muse and social media. (If the muse is/would be on social media and why/why not, their general opinion on it, e.t.c.) 

"Course I use it, how I find out about comic releases and catch up on story lines."

Mikey was able to see the start of alot of more know Socials today. He had an account on friendster mostly for the games later on till it shut down. He had a myspace and loved to customize his profile with all sorts of widgets.Hasn't touched it in years! He went on to forums mostly and 4chan of course for comics so he could track down issues he was search for and there was always someone online who could offer help on how to get it. He's part of a few online friend circles from comics books to people who have seen glimpses of the turtles and talk about it online, he thinks it's funny and sometimes messes with them. He'll see them pick up common locations they spot them and will go there to just give them more to share. It's a harmless prank on his end and something he keeps to himself he don't need his brothers ruin his fun after all.

Mikey also has a twitter account mostly for comic related stuff but he likes to post pictures of the weird stuff in New York most people know weird creatures come around in the city since the Tricerton Invasion so it's harmless.

✉  : My muse and others. (If they social and outgoing or more introverted, and why. If they prefer communicating with others face to face or in written form, e.t.c.). 

"I love meeting new people! Those other turtle can be tots annoying sometimes ya know? Gotta shake it up."

Mikey is very social if he dosen't vibe with someone right off the bat there usually a good reason even monstrous creatures like Leatherhead or Quarry where Mikey understandable was scared of them when first meeting them. Was able to see the good in Leatherhead and try to befriend him and soon saw Quarry wasn't like the other mutants if annoyed by how much of a scardy cat they could be ironic considering himself. Or like with April where he was first to openly speak to her with out any hesitation. Mikeys pretty good about befriending anyone really shown when it comes to the superhero charaters in the show. Mikey was able to Befriend Sliver Sentry with ease even with them feeling he was getting in the way and even the more aloof Nobody. His friendly welcoming nature just seems to be a natural draw for a lot of people no mater the species.

Dosen't mean he gets along with everyone he meets but he can at least up to points stand some people a be a bit more tolerable. Takes a special someone to be annoying to mikey *cough* Casey *cough*

Mikey is just very very social and he craves interaction because of it. Which can get annoying for his older brothers who are all more independent and such. Mikey will often just go into a room with one of them and linger about of course not quietly he just needs to be around someone is all. Like when hell go into Don's lab and rant on about something stupid in his comics he knows they aren't listening or care much he just likes that Don will let him do it. He loves spending time with his brothers the most, so those Friday night movies are always his favorite.

When it comes to talking Mikeys prefers it be face to face. Likely due to him having a lot of empathy for others it just easier for him to gauge the other person's feelings. Written or text is hard for him to convey a tone from. Hearing their voice, seeing their face? He just feels the best way to communicate is face to face. This is also why he is willing to step back from Ariel when she got upset with him and wait for her to come to him. He wouldn't have that talk any other way with her. It's why he and Summer never had this blow up her Dad's made sure to make her feel she can express her thoughts after all and in a way she has taken one some traits from Mikey because of this. So they had their own talk she knows Mikey regrets what he did and knows how torn up over it he is as well. It why he dose the same with each of his brothers when serious things come up those one on one talks are just too important.

▶ : My muse and level of education. (If the muse has some form of education, what education they perhaps wish they had, e.t.c.). 

"uhhh I mean whatever Splinter teaches me I guess?"

And yet Mikey isn't even the worse of Splinters students. Mikey is for sure that kid who learns in a different way than most. He has the most raw talent out of his brothers and he knows the same things they do like Chi Gong breathing techniques when they went to space. But as show during the Ninja tribunal season Mikey is a active learner being told how to do something or reading it doesn't work he man retain the information like when he and Splinter were dealing with mr.touch and mr. Go he showed he could in fact use his mind when it came to a fight and come up with some good plans. He just has to apply it in ways he can understand.

◐ : My muse and animals. (If they like animals and treat them well, do not care for them at all, e.t.c.). 

"I love animals I don't know what I do with out Klunk and Klunk jr."

Mikey is a lover of cute animals one could say like cats and Chickens of course like Sonny and Cher ;3; Mikey is also a sucker for his pet cat Klunk who is for sure Mikey's furbaby. Klunk knows hes got a nice gig in the lair so never strays far from them and for sure has kept other rats away from getting into the lair since they got a cat around. He often lets his brothers pet him or sets him on thier laps because he knows animals are good for mental health. Which is why he is so attached Klunk became her emotional support animal after some time. And im sure as you can tell by a mention in his comment there is a second Klunk in his life.

Sadly even with the life of luxray Klunk lived with the turtle Klunk wasn't going to live forever. Based on color alone I would say Klunk is and orange Tabby and they can live for 20 years at the latest. Most only 10 to 16 years. Roughly well say it was 2004 when Mikey found Klunk whoe was just a kitten at the time so Klunk could live and be around a god long while. And as BTTS showed Klunk was still around then. But not in the 07 movie and based on how I sor tof timeline things here 03 -> 07 -> FF/BBTS (?) this would in a way make a gap with out a cat and just hit harder on Mikey being lonely. But Klunk was a alley cat in a sense and was free to roam as they got bigger. Met female cat and Im sure you can see where I leading to. Mikey soon finds a cat that looks just like Klunk and take them in as Klunk jr.

❒ : My muse and gifts. (If they are good/bad at finding gifts, good/bad at receiving gifts, good/bad at wrapping gifts, e.t.c.) 

"I mean I love getting them that for sure."

I feel Mikey is pretty decent at giving gifts hell recall something someone said they liked before and come across something similar like say April mentioned as a kid she loved a certain character and Mikey happens across something of that old character so he brings it to her. It was a passing comment but he tends to hang on to that information.

☘ : My muse’s relation with their family. (If they speak with each other and how much, if they are close or estranged, e.t.c.). 

"I love them really all there is to say on that, I know my brothers and I fight. I know they fight. I know we make mistakes but...I also know we always have each other and always will have each other." Mikey is the baby of his family through and through and sometimes it can be annoying since his brothers often look at him as younger. Sure over time they learn to see him on their own level. and even seems to earn their respect. Mikey dose look up to all of his brothers in different ways and for different reasons and in a way he sort of idolizes them.

Don kind of Spoils Mikey because he dose give into thier whims a lot and its kind of made Mikey feel Don can fix anything from whatever tech issue is going on to other problems as well like when Mikey is feeling Don it's Donnie he goes to. Mikey needs interaction so bad or he gets kind of down and Donnie is the less likely to be annoyed with him so he fixes Mikey in a sense.

Raph and Mikey can have a sort of love hate relationship. Mikey being the annoying little brother and Raph the disgruntle older one. Mikey dose know Raph cares about him and knows he will protect him and look out for him. Raph can mess with Mikey but anyone else tries? They are dead.

Leo Ive said it alot here but Leo is who Mikey is closest to. Leo is often the only one who dose have faith in Mikey's abilities and acknowledges his talents but often has to be stern and tell mikey to focus. Mikey loves heros and to him Leo is his own personal hero for those reasons alone and it's why he listens to Leo not to mention why he is so close to them.

Splinter He is dad and Mikey is good about listening to his Dad sometimes. Mikey dose sometimes feel he isn't always measuring up well compared to his brothers and must be failing his dad. But he feels close enough to express these worries to Splinter they have a very good relationship and Mikey spends hours talking to Splinter. They often crack jokes together honestly they might be an awful combo because of Splinters savage ways.

Casey is the one person in the world that can actually annoy Mikey and that is a thing to say XD However Mikey dose see Casey as another big brother of his sometimes his favorite outside Leo. Cause Casey will often listen to Mikey's complaints seriously unlike his brothers will. If he whines about not being able to find a comic Casey suggests a place that may just have it and offer to take him. Casey also tends to play along with Mikey's antics at times very much how an adult will be wowed by a younger kids statements to match their energy. But Casey pretty much a big kid himself it's why he can match Mikeys energy it seems. its why he trs to be there for Casey during the break up.

Yvonne is someone you might think wouldn't get along to well with mikey due to her serious nature but she is Mikeys gal pal. They like to trash talk over whine and watch chick flicks. They have girls night along with April and later the girls when they are teens. Von is also kind of the branch that helped Mikey more embrace his feminine side shes kind of like a safety net in a sense. Because she has a habit of needing to use example and such it helps mikey see that him feeling like he genderfuild is not werid and dosen't make him different its just another thing that make him Mikey. He was one of two who really wanted him to get together with Don but because it meant she would be his sister.

Summer/Ariel- Ill drive more into stuff on Summers answers but over all Mikey loves his nieces and used to take part in kidnapping them both when they were babies. Often the last option as babysitter but it was more like playdates. he might be thier uncle/aunt/auncle but it follows more th logic of im the older kid between them. Mikey always had very good friendships with the both of them. He's sort of like this break from adults because like what Casey did for him i feel he dose for his nieces offers them someone they can talk to in a way they can't other adults. It why he was shocked by Ariels turn on him he just felt everything was fine because as stated Mikey is someone who needs to talk to know whats going on but Ariel is too much like her own parents and it didn't help that everyone seemed to just mov eon from everything. So when she snapped at him sudeenly of course it hurt him a lot. He didn't know how much what he did would effect her nor was he ware how it affected Don. He loves her and of course wanted to fix it but because he loves her he gave her the space she seemed to need at the time. Dose make him wonder if they were as close as he thought they always were.

[07 Mikey Ariel]

"I know who you aarreeee~" She giggles, as a child does when they feel like they know something they shouldn't, "I know you're the Turtle Titan - it's so cool you're a superhero!"

She still laughs, clearly excited with this information, smile like the sun as she soon holds out her 'little' fingers. Well, the outside finger, considering she only has two on each hand a thumb,

"Don't worry, I pinky promise not to tell anyone."

| Muse interaction

Don and Raph were well Mikey wasn't sure what they were up to he hadn't fully listened when they came to him and asked if he wouldn't mind keeping an eye on the kids for them. Maybe the two of them were going off on a junk yard trip like they used. hmm then again guess they just leave their tikes with Casey and Von then? Eh maybe the four of them were doing something then. All Mikey really cared about was he was getting to spend the evening with his nieces. Letting them have free run around in his room, he did have some cool stuff and well maybe just maybe he was still trying to turn them into comic lovers like himself.

Mikey's collection has only grown over the years after all, even if he had to refined some of his issues lost between moves and home invasions and whatever else you name it. Mikey currently was fishing through a paper file box. Thanks to April on having so many from her own shop. Really made keeping them organized easier. The only thing in Mikey's room that could fall under that word at least. Now if only he had abetter filing system sometimes he just threw his comics into a box with the intention to get back to them later. Later never came, he grumbled at his past self for being so lazy and slacking on the job under his breath as he set one box down and grabbed the next one beside it to start looking through next.

"come on man out of time issue 11 where are you?" he asks no one really, head turning to the side when he hears some boxes tip over. "ya rugrats okay?" Mikey offers, not like he had anything dangers in his outside maybe mold over pizza. They were smart enough to not eat that right?

Summer offered out some remark they were fine just knocked over some of his boxes. Mikey just nodded and went back to his search. Most of Mikey's stuff was just boxed up he didn't really own furniture to stuff in after all so pretty much anything could be found in a box. And to a extent he knew what was in each on. Or least what should be in a box and not careless tossed on to the floor of his room in one of the many piles that scattered across it. Well he was busy still trying to hunt down the comic he KNEW had to be in this very box, because he recalled putting it in this one. it had a jelly stain. Maybe jelly. And he knows he was eating when he went to put it away because he didn't want any jelly on the pages.

"I know who you aarreeee~"

Mikey turned to look down at his niece confused by the sudden delcration made. Tilting his head to the aide even as he looked down to her.

"Uh your uncle?" He smiles a bit clearly confused ready to play along if this is some silly kid thing which well it could be?

"I know you're the Turtle Titan - it's so cool you're a superhero!"

"Uh?"

Mikey looked over to the tower of boxes that had to be what the girls knocked over a moment ago. Summer seemed to be diving into one box herself having come across some old action figures. Looking off to the side from there he could see his old costume. Red hooded cape with the "T T" logo for the clasp laid over the edge of a box where he could make out the turtle shaped shield beside it. Soon smiling a little once his eyes settled on the box. Boy that brought him back to his days of wanting to be exclty like the heros from his comic books, costume and all. Always figured that way he be able to be mlre in the open since people would assume it was just a costume after all. Yeah sometimes Mikey did want so glory and reward he had to admit his own greed there. Though why Ariel assumed it was some big serect he couldn't place a green finger on. Pretty much anyone who met Mikey at some point learned he had that whole dumb idea. But he still smiled and watched as she tried holding out her smallest finger out.

"Don't worry, I pinky promise not to tell anyone."

Mikey slightly chuckled as he patted the top of her head. "Ari we ain't got pinkies though?" He pointed out teasing her slightly.

He set the lid back on top of the box he been switching through before he made his way over to the one with his old costume. Slipped on the gear he had made himself for it before he dawned on the old cape and hood to finish the look.

"But your right I am the." He threw his arms old wide to spread the cape out as he turned around to show off his 'secert to his nieces' "The Turtle Titan!" Bright boasting smile on full display as he moved over to let Areil have a look at the sheild on his arm.

"Honory member of the Justice Froce even! Course I only git duty every fourth Wednesday of every 6th month and every 29th of February. When there is one." Now thar he thought about it been a long ass time since he even checked in on all that? Opps guess he's been Mia uh? Eh if it was issue sentry would have said something. Moving to set a foot to one if the nearest boxes.

"Defender if the city that never sleeps. I look out for the crowd now one knkws about!" He contuies on his heroic speech trying to impress his niece with the show boating at best. "I even got all these near gadgets like my grapling hook!" Moving to grab said hook he feels the lid of the box cave in. Looking down he witness the horrors that followed!

"My comics!" Quickly moving away as he knelt beside the box tossing the lod away to check on them. Crushed every single on and worse! Issue 11 of Man out of time was in this one! Lifting it out the box as he tugs the hoof back to better look at it clearly sadden, but he didn't let it last. Or better say he was trying not to look dumb in front of his nieces. Moving to sit on the floor and he patted the spots nearest him. "This is one of the issues that made me wanna be a hero, actually. Like a real hero the costume and fan fare included. Thought it be so cool to ya know help people. Like really help them ya know?"

Michelangelo starts to explain as he pulls the comic free from the dust cover. To bad that didn't protect for acciendtly crushing well the creases were to bad he figures as he opens it up to go on and show them since he seemed to have thoer attetion again.

[07 Mikey and Teen!Ariel - Don may not tell Mikey, but Ariel will]

She was angry. She was so fucking angry. Not just at Mikey, but at all of them - for both herself and her father. While Ariel had only heard stories of what Uncle Leo and Uncle Raph did, she had witnessed the pain her father went to after Uncle Mikey left for the Foot Clan. She heard him at night, crying, saying how this was somehow his fault - that he should've been a better brother and done something to stop this. Ariel heard her mum try and comfort him, and maybe it helped. But Ariel never let go of those sleepless nights, of the sound of her dad, her hero, the person she admired, breaking down. The pain in his voice, the tired look on his face in the morning when he promised they were going to get Uncle Mikey back and everything would be okay. She would never forget, and it only grew worse when Uncle Mikey did come home and everything was brushed under the rug - like mentioning it was some awful taboo.

Well Ariel was sick of it. Sick of everyone acting fine when she knew how her dad was. It hurt, that even family could be so damn unjust. And Mikey, well, he got the brunt of her anger. She barely spent anytime near him, being in the same room was difficult. Ariel didn't like being angry about it, but it's all she felt. Really, it was only inevitable she snapped at Mikey,

"You seriously don't get why I'm upset with you?!" She can't help but question, "You hurt my dad! How can I forgive that!"

Says the girl that was friends with Bishop,

"I remember laying awake all night hearing him cry, hearing him blame himself for you being a jerk, for betraying our family," She states, "Hearing how he thoughts things were finally going to be okay, that he had finally started getting over Uncle Leonardo and Raphael leaving only for you to do the same - and for the Foot Clan no less!"

There was a wobble to her voice, she hated how upset she got when she was angry,

"Do you have any idea how it feels to hear your dad, your hero, to stay up every night crying, breaking down again and again, just desperate to make it through another day cause they're so sick of their family leaving him!" Ariel exclaims, "It hurts Michelangelo, it hurts seeing the mutant you admire, your dad just hurting all the time...hearing them try and comfort you and tell you it's going to be okay, when you know they're barely holding it together..."

Ariel lifted a sleeve to her eyes to wipe the tears forming, even going as far to step back,

"How is that okay? How is it okay for you, and Leonardo, and Raphael, to keep hurting my dad? What makes it okay for you to do that," She sniffles, "I won't act like my dad is perfect, he's not...but it's not fair for you guys to keep hurting him, to keep leaving him, especially after what he saw in that overworld," She'd seen the panic attacks too, that's how she knows, "How if he leaves your World falls apart, but you never seem to realise you all leaving, despite knowing his fear, keeps destroying his World...I'm surprised my dad won't leave either, because if anyone deserves out of this thing we call a family, it's him."

That hurt to say, but it's how she felt. That she can't even call them al la family anymore, not right now,

"And you know the worst part? He'll never tell you that," Her dad was terrible for not talking, "Because he's scared. He's scared of hurting you, or Leonardo, or Raphael, and that if he says a word about how he felt, you'll get upset and leave again, you'll hurt him again...so he'll just let it hurt him instead, cause it's just easier for him to keep a smile and not say a thing so you can all play happy families, instead of risking you leaving again..."

Wrong of her to take it out on Michelangelo? Perhaps. But she was here for when he hurt her dad, it was fresh for her. She watched it all, so he was the unfortunate one that got the brunt of it all,

"So there, now you know why I don't wanna see you; you hurt my dad beyond hurt, and I don't even think you have apologised to him, I don't think anyone has!" She tries not to let the anger spark again, "So do me a favour, and leave me alone."

Black band of fabric laid over his open palms as he sort of stared at the torn and tattered fabric resting in his hands. TV was one but he wasn't watching it more to cover what he was doing. It was such a stupid mistake on his part and one that nearly brought Shredder their biggest well known enemy back. It's just hard to feel like everyone else is moving forward and you are stuck in place. Watching all his brothers move on to knew whole lives having to accept the change in life that feels all so sudden. Of course, he was happy for each other them confused by some choices but he was happy for them. He was happy Leo seemed to be finding someone he liked even if it was Bishop. Leo should have that as much as anyone of them should. Maybe more because Leo was always putting the rest of them before himself. Raphael seemed to finally find peace in a mind always in a storm. Casey seemed to be that for him and now they both settling down and raising a kid themself? A kid Raph told him Casey always wanted. That seemed fitting to Mikey, Casey always looked out for them after all. Donnie finally had his dream he thought could just never come to be and happen. He met Yvoone someone who just got him and gave him someone he can confided in and understands the way he needs it. And After many attempts they finally started the family Donnie secret wished so much for. Watching Donnie became a dad just proved what he always thought that they would make for a good one.

But where did that leave Michelangelo? To doing what he always did make stupid mistake that his brother had to come and clean up for him. heavy sigh left him as he stashed the old band into his belt, he thought he was doing something good, thought he could help change the foot. All he did was get tricked and hurt his family, head fall back to the couch as he let his eyes close. Mikey wished the forgiveness wasn't so easily earned he feels his brothers should be far more upset with him. Though seems not all of his family had forgiven.

As head lifted suddenly to look at who was currently walking through the lair. Spotting Ariel, Mikey turns a little to better face here hand lifted and waves but he went unnoticed.

"Uh hey Ari! Sup!" He throws out feeling speaking up will likely get her attention this time. But still she seems to not notice him, nah he knew he was being ignored. Mikey grew up with three brothers he knows that treatment especially when Don would try and tune him out while they were busy working.

Mikey moved to stand up off from the couch lately Ariel been a tad well cold towards him. Which he just couldn’t understand the reason for. They had always been so close. From her excitement of learning he was the turtle titan to bringing up her worries when it came to making sure pudge the fish was getting his peanut butter sandwiches. Thinking about it even that was today right? “In a hurry there? Pudge must be hamatoing for a good peanut butter sandwich yeah?” nothing still “See I’d say Jonesing but Summer ain’t here so” He tries to explain his dumb joke just now.

Quirking his beak a little. Look he understood he could be annoying that hadn’t changed much as he’s grown up after all but at the same time he was also still her uncle an she was being well pretty rude and he couldn’t understand why? He hadn’t really spent time with anyone so he couldn’t have done a thing to offend her right? Stepping right in front of her as he blocked her path and made it so she could get away now.

“Ariel are you mad at me?” And it seems one little question alone was just the push needed to make it come out.

"You seriously don't get why I'm upset with you?!"

Should he know? He had to wonder as he tried and rack his mind in the same beat of silence that followed her but it didn’t take long for an answer to follow for him.

"You hurt my dad! How can I forgive that!"

“When did I hurt Don?” He didn’t mean for his question to fall out of his beak the way it had but he honestly had no idea what she was talking about just then? He had hardly seen Don lately because o well everything that happened forgiven or not he didn’t like how things ended up so he was trying to think of ways to sort of fix it on his own end in his own right and way he guess?

"I remember laying awake all night hearing him cry, hearing him blame himself for you being a jerk, for betraying our family,"

Mikey blinks a moment “…y you mean when I joined the foot?” Why was this only now coming up though? Ariel and Summer were still pretty young at the time when that went down?

"Hearing how he thoughts things were finally going to be okay, that he had finally started getting over Uncle Leonardo and Raphael leaving only for you to do the same - and for the Foot Clan no less!"

Mikey listened as she ranted on further he voice stuck in his thwart as he offered a nod of his head he didn’t mean to nod he just well didn’t know what else todo, finding it hard to keep eye contact with her grateful his eyes couldn’t be seen in the moment at least to give hat away. What was he meant to saw about that? Leo and Raph were kind of lead to Mikey doing what he had himself after all. He thought he was doing as Leo had bettering himself but he more pulled a Raph if anything.

"Do you have any idea how it feels to hear your dad, your hero, to stay up every night crying, breaking down again and again, just desperate to make it through another day cause they're so sick of their family leaving him!"

Mikey simple stood and took it as she contained on, he had no idea Don got so torn up over what happened. He knew he didn’t handle Raph all that well and how Leo effected him as well He let it slip the night Raph told him to fuck off basically. But not once did he think he, himself would get Don that upset. He should have though.

"It hurts Michelangelo, it hurts seeing the mutant you admire, your dad just hurting all the time...hearing them try and comfort you and tell you it's going to be okay, when you know they're barely holding it together..."

Mikey hated hearing that. Because he should have known. He should have know Donnie was carrying all that pain. He knew don was the type to comfort others despite his own hurt. He did that for Mikey alot growing up after all but the habit never stopped...

"How is that okay? How is it okay for you, and Leonardo, and Raphael, to keep hurting my dad? What makes it okay for you to do that,"

It's not though.

"I won't act like my dad is perfect, he's not...but it's not fair for you guys to keep hurting him, to keep leaving him, especially after what he saw in that overworld," She'd seen the panic attacks too, that's how she knows, "How if he leaves your World falls apart, but you never seem to realise you all leaving, despite knowing his fear, keeps destroying his World...I'm surprised my dad won't leave either, because if anyone deserves out of this thing we call a family, it's him."

That wasn't who Donnie was though...but guess it who they were. Who Mikey was.

"And you know the worst part? He'll never tell you that," Her dad was terrible for not talking, "Because he's scared. He's scared of hurting you, or Leonardo, or Raphael, and that if he says a word about how he felt, you'll get upset and leave again, you'll hurt him again...so he'll just let it hurt him instead, cause it's just easier for him to keep a smile and not say a thing so you can all play happy families, instead of risking you leaving again..."

Mikey knew that as well, because well thags how they always were they didn't even know about hos anxiety and panic attacks fir years till Raoh caught him in the middle of one.

"So there, now you know why I don't wanna see you; you hurt my dad beyond hurt, and I don't even think you have apologised to him, I don't think anyone has!"

That wasn't ture was it? Had he not? Had he said sorry to any of his brothers? Had any of them ever said sorry

"So do me a favour, and leave me alone."

Mikey ripped from his thoughts, looked at her, and smiled. As he always does and has. Stepping away hands held up in surrender even. "Yeah..sure I can respect that Ariel." He offers to her she had every right he wasn't going to make her thst wouldn't be right.

"I'll keep scare no worries at all heh..." He paused a moment he wanted to say sorry but that wasn't gonna help uh? He simply turned away and well walled off no where in mind just let his feet carry him give her the space she seemed. Mind jumbled and buzzing with so many other thoughts out side on Cleary idea.

She's right.

[2k7 Kid!Ariel and Mikey - because she basically is a fish so course she feeds them u_u and i dunno i wanted to do something sweet with these two]

Ariel ran up to Uncle Mikey, looking panicked and worried about something. Something only a kid would really be worried or upset about,

"Uncle M'n'M, it's Sandwich day, but we're outta peanut butter!" She exclaims, taking in the confusion with a sigh as she explains, "Every Thursday, I take Pudge the fish a Peanut Butter Sandwich," She tells him, "And today, we're out of Peanut Butter, all we have is Tuna, but I can't give Pudge Tuna!"

She pushes herself up onto her tiptoes, she wishes she had wings like her mum, then she wouldn't have to strain to try and whisper to people,

"Do you know what Tuna is?"

Course he does, everyone knows what Tuna is!

"It's fish!" She goes on, "If I gave Pudge Tuna, I'd be an abomination!"

Ariel breathes a little, soon clinging onto Mikey's leg, looking up at him with large eyes,

"Pudge controls the weather, so if I don't feed him he'll get mad," She whimpers, "We have to have something we can give him! This is serious!"

| Muse interaction

Mikey set down his snacks to the coffee table before him, multiple bowls full of different treats. Popcorn mixed with gummy candies, he liked how the heat softened it all up and stuck to the popcorn. A bowl of chips, both potato and chocolate get the salty and the sweet of course. A bowl of pretzels drizzled with cheese and of course, a personal pizza for Mikey, Pepperoni and peanut butter. Along with an endless, well seemingly endless that is. Row of soda cans. Mikey had his controller in hand and plopped down on the couch, the benefit of Raph and Don not living in the lair anymore? they could steal his video games away from him anymore. Outside Splinter taking over the TV for his shows Mikey pretty much had them all to himself. And with a new game in hand he new exactly what he was going to spend the next couple of days doing. He was going to play this game till his eyes were blood shoot and his stomachache felt like it was melting from his food choices. Well Pizza clearly was healthy right? Got the basic food groups to it.

Once everything was set up and booted up to go he went and nestled in back against the couch finding that perfect spot, shell in between two cushions a nice firm squish legs lifted and stretched out on the table between all his snacks. Game controlled in hand as he watched the system turn on and load the game up. Smiling brightly to himself near about bouncing in place. Nearly he was a adult after all, and even if he himself didn't have the responsibility of kids he still had uncle responsibilities. And the sound of feet hitting the stone floor of their home had hos attention a little as his mouth was stuffed full of popcorn and gummies. Turning to face the panicked expression on Ariel's face just now. "Whft ufp kifft?" He mumbled around his stuffed full mouth

"Uncle M'n'M, it's Sandwich day, but we're outta peanut butter!"

Mikey offered a tilt of his head at that, well all of that really, as he worked on chewing and swallowing down his food. "Uh right sandwich day?" he adds in trying to follow along with what she is trying to tell him. Even she can seem to tell he had no idea what was going on as she sighs out and goes to briefly explain.

"Every Thursday, I take Pudge the fish a Peanut Butter Sandwich,"

"Ohh right okay sandwich day then got it," Mikey easily just accepted that, he might be the one person to take that with out any question nodding as he set his controller down to the table this was clearly serious and needing his full attention. This was clearly important and serious so he needed to focus here. Not just because it was clearly important to her either.

"And today, we're out of Peanut Butter, all we have is Tuna, but I can't give Pudge Tuna!"

Mikey slightly just smiles at her when she tries to move up to her tiptoes to whisper now as if the next thing she said, if heard by the wrong person. In this case fish, would clearly go wrong. Lowering his head to offer his ear and so she wouldn't need to strain so much when going to whisper to him now.

"Do you know what Tuna is?"

He didn't offer an immediate answer to her question, it was fish right? Like a tuna fish? All chopped up in a can? Least thats how he mostly ever saw it. It was sort of like anchovies right? Mikey didn't need to question that much longer as Ariel was more than happy to give him said answer, well making his ears ring from how sudden she shouted in against his ear. Sending the vibrations ricocheting against the plate of cartilage inside his ears.

"It's fish!"

Biting his tongue so not to swear around her, as he pulls away to rub at the side of his head just now. " R-right I knew that." he tosses out in the hopes she lowers her voice now.

"If I gave Pudge Tuna, I'd be an abomination!"

"Uh..right?" Mikey wasn't fully following though looking down as she soon wrapping her arms around his leg and shot those large wide bug eyes at him. Mikey just smiles down to her and set his hand on top of her head. "Okay so tuna bad and Peanut butter needed but we are out of it I got that so uh why is this such a big issue uh?"

Maybe the other well the actual adults would simply brush this all off as something silly a kid would worry over. Disregard it as being nothing to be so worried and get herself worked up over as she was doing in this moment. But Mikey? nah Mikey never truly outgrew that childish side like his brothers had. Always held on to his inner child he was an uncle but honestly? He saw his nieces more like the little sisters he never had growing up, getting to act as an older sibling now himself. So maybe that was why he wasn't brushing this all off as not mattering.

"Pudge controls the weather, so if I don't feed him he'll get mad,"

She whimpers just a little bit now, and right away Mikey's searching his mind for a solution scratching at his chin a moment. Eyes trailing over the table in front of them as he thinks picking at his brain repeating the word peanut butter to himself.

"We have to have something we can give him! This is serious!"

"That's it!" he exclaims and reaching over for the pizza, "It's not sandwich but it got peanut butter." He states ripping a piece free to show it to her. "Besides Pizza's like mans greatest creation, so I bet Pudge will tots love this way more?" He offers as a solution smiling a little at her hoping it will solve this issue as he moves to stand up. Remote picked up to turn the tv off before switching to grab her hand instead. "Least let's give it a try to see if the guy likes it? and how can't he? Peanut butter is like the perfect thing to add to a pizza after all and how can you improve on whats perfect already?" sound logic in Mikey's mind "come on let's go can't let your friend mess with the weather after all right?" Waiting for her to lead the way he knew she hung by the docks but he wasn't positive how to get there like Raph or Don were.

[MarkFalcon] regress  - ✩ { @aflockoffeathers​​​​ } ✩

{ ☆ } Mark hates it here. Everything is so... different weird. The way people sound, the words they use, the money— something his parents lamented about in length when their jobs forced them to relocate —even the side of the street people drive on is the WRONG one. The UK is far from anything Mark has ever experienced, since he barely even got to experience much of the US when living there. But so far, what he has been through is less-than-encouraging. Mark used to think that he couldn’t possibly be treated as any more of a freak, but now... somehow he’s found himself even more ostracized than before.

He doesn’t know the culture, barley understands it to be honest... and his new peers don’t understand HIS either. Or they don’t wish to, since it seems to be more entertaining to make fun of Mark for the way he acts, speaks, futilely tries and ‘fit in’ with those around him. Often fumbling and just embarrassing himself in the process, trying to Fake it until he Makes it, but only inadvertently proving that he has NO idea what he’s doing or even talking about. He’s never felt so lost... So ill-prepared and inadept. Like so much of a failure.

He had hoped to take this move as a chance for a fresh start. A BETTER one, but each day just makes him long for his old home. Small and run-down as it may have been, in a place filled with jerks just like his new school has— well, that’s ONE familiar thing —but at least he was used to handling it... and his Abuelita lived right next door. God, he misses her so much. Blinking rapidly to keep the tears at bay, he fervently repeats what she had told him when he confided that he would be moving- “Keep your chin up and your eyes open, ‘cause you might end up missing something amazing if you don’t.” Yep... Just keep his eyes-

Perhaps Mark should have been actually looking UP instead of staring at the ground as he hurried down the hall, shoulders hunched and the straps of his backpack clutched tightly as he desperately tried to make it out the door and home before anything could go wrong... because thanks to not literally following the advice he’d been determinedly murmuring, the parrot managed to RAM right into an unsuspecting student. Falling backward from the impact and landing on his backpack, zipper comes undone and releases all of his things onto the hard ground, scattering across the tiles... and revealing some of his secret shame. 

“O-Oh my God...” Mark stammers, frantically scrambling to shove his things back into his bag. There are the usual supplies, of course: papers and notebooks and pencils... and then there’s his Sailor Loon pencil case, scribbled drawings of various Anime and cosplay dreams, glitter pens, colorful fidget cube and a light-up fidget spinner that managed to tumble across the ground and his the leg of... Shoot. “I’m- I’m so sorry...” Is all Mark can say, feathers fluffed and face hot with shame as he awkwardly retracts his hand before it can reclaim his toy tool for helping him focus. Although reddish hues do dart towards the— currently lighting up —item a few times as he continues, bright tail feathers falling flat on the floor.

“My b, I should have been looking where I was going...” Not wanting to get too close to the boy he bumped into for fear of angering him, but also not wanting to leave his precious object behind in favor of retreat— it’s not as if he can afford to get another one —hands begin to anxiously fidget, tugging at the sleeves of his ill-fitting and worn-down shirt. “Are you, uh... You ‘kay?” Please, please, please let this guy be okay... It might be the nerves talking, but Mark is pretty sure this guy could end him in seconds if he wanted to. { ☆ }

[ducktales-wco-oo]

[MarkFalcon] [ praise ] your muse praising mine in bed.  - ✩ { @aflockoffeathers​​​​ } ✩

✩ { Meme } ✩

{ ☆ } Mark wouldn’t say that he’s experienced when it comes to things like ‘this’, but he wouldn’t say he’s a noob either. Yes, he's handled a penis or two. Even if the results of these instances vary from going remarkably well to... laughably wrong— although Mark was never the one laughing —he still approaches the situation with a confidence that suggests MUCH more prowess than he’s proven. Fake it ‘til you make it; right? When Falcon is sitting on his roller-chair, the seat pressed firmly against the wall thanks to some careful maneuvering during an intense makeout session, he can’t afford to show a shred of uncertainty. 

Call him crazy, but Mark suspects that the larger male has more than enough of THAT for the both of them. Which means that despite the pounding of his heart, the quickness of his breath and the nagging of his mind— ‘don’t show how intimidated you are... don’t look too needy... don’t choke on it... don’t trill... don’t-’ —he needs to remain in control. Once Falcon becomes more comfortable with these situations, maybe Mark can experience some of those predatorial instincts. But until then- “Just sit back and relax, boo...”

A finger gently slides up Falcon’s leg toward his waistline, other hand resting on his knee as Mark gazes up at that wonderfully flushed face. Not breaking eye contact, the sound of a zipper hints the air, the parrot slowly lowering himself to his knees in time with it, “I’m gonna take good care of you~” Please, for the love of God let him do well. Coyly peeking up at Falcon from his newfound position, Mark makes quick work of shimmying Falcon’s pants to a more preferable spot, but fingers hook on the waistband of his undergarment and bring it down as if he has ALL the time in the world. In reality, there’s a meeting coming up... 

But the ticking clock just makes this all the more fun.

Like he suspected, Falcon is nearly-ready for Mark to get working; length already peeking from his cloaca, all it takes is a few skillful strokes before it’s fully unsheathed. Proud and erect, Mark can’t help but swallow at the intimidating sight, cheeks growing warmer as he lightly shakes his head to clear it. Remain focused. He’s waited a Hella long time for this, and there’s no way he’s going to blow it... Well, in THAT sense. Choking back the snickers that want to slip out at his internal joke— laughter, no matter how light, when looking at a partner’s dick never ends well —Mark nudges his beak against Falcon’s length.

Brushing his beak against it as it examining the object, he emits soft, casual hums. Breath warm and hums softly vibrating against the throbbing member, Mark glances through a lazily half-lidded gaze at Falcon, all-too amused by the impatient glare he’s met with. What? Like he’s NOT going to poke a bit of fun at the usually stone-faced male? Especially when he’s managed to get him emoting to this extent... But, li’l shit or not, Mark plans on upholding his earlier claim. So, after a lingering lick against the underside of the dick— from the hilt all the way to its tip, where he places a brief kiss —he then begins to engulf it.

Relaxing his throat, Mark takes as much of it as he can without risk of gagging himself— he’s not making that mistake again —managing to fit a surprising amount of its length. Feeling it twitching inside of his mouth, practically begging for stimulation, spurs the parrot onward. Bobbing his head up and down, eyes close as he focuses on the feeling of Falcon's dick in his mouth. Soft moans are released around it, low and lewd as Mark feels his own twitch in his pants. Just the act of sucking Falcon off being enough to get him riled. Bobbing his head with fervor, the sounds he makes sing Falcon’s praises merely for just existing.

As if being entrusted with showing HIM pleasure is a form of delight unheard of, Mark’s face flushes as he continues to steadily work on the other male’s cock. Feathers fluff at the noises he can hear Falcon begin to make, the way his body trembles, the sound of his grip on the armrest tightening so much the leather may tear... Tounge begins to swirl around the head, greedily lapping up whatever precum it can as he happily hums. However, movements stall when Falcon begins to speak. Growing tense with surprise, eyes snap open and raise to look at the other male in blatant disbelief. He’s... He’s praising him. 

Mouth grows slack, drool dribbling down the parrot’s chin as he replays Falcon’s words in his mind, blending with the ones that had filled the air even afterward. Telling him how good he was doing... How good he is... Praise that understandably grows silent now that Mark has stopped, both males temporarily in an awkward lull as the parrot gazes starstruck at Falcon. A lull that only lasts a moment, before Mark is soon eagerly engulfing the other’s length again. Head bobs up and down with newfound vigor, desperately chasing further praise. Seeking validation with every swipe of his tongue, every purposely-lewd moan— thank God his office is soundproofed —and every forceful suck on the appendage. 

He is not disappointed. Every word from Falcon’s mouth encourages him further, trills soon following suit as his throat vibrates around the throbbing length. Growing tense and face immediately flushing with shame, Mark winces... before Falcon further strokes his ego by responding positively to the sound. Fighting back a gag as hips are instinctively thrust forward, Mark firmly grabs Falcon’s legs and just sucks harder. From then on, making sure not to stifle any more trills that want to slip out... It’s a final trill that does it. 

Pulling back a bit, Mark enthusiastically swallows every bit of Falcon’s cum that he can. He earned this sweet treat, after all. Stubbornly remaining until the very last stream of seed has stopped flowing... and even a few seconds longer, tongue gingerly tracing the head to take whatever tidbits remain. Movements are slow, Mark purposely looking up at the flushed Falcon from the corner of his eyes as he cleans. Moving away, licking his lips for whatever droplets dripped down his beak, Mark purrs, “See? Told ya I’d take good care of you~” 

Standing, he leisurely checks himself out in a nearby mirror, pleased at the realization that Falcon likely had a wonderful view thanks to its placement, before looking over at the larger male and playfully saying, “Better get fixed up, Gravesy... We got a meeting in ten.” { ☆ }
