#87 Mikey

[idontevenremember5minutesago]

It makes me sad that people still don’t know what Mikey’s ‘thing’ is.

I was watching Tales and they flat out have someone asks what his thing is if Leo is the Leader, Raph is the tough one and Donnie is the smart one.

I see people asking to this day what his role on the team is.

I remember a review when Rise came out asking if all the characters are funny party dudes, what makes Mikey stand out?

It drives me cuckoo with a side of bananas.

Yes,Mikey is the Goof off, yes he’s the jokester, yes he’s the chill one but he’s so so much more than that.

Across every iteration of Tmnt, there has always been a major trait unique to Mikey.

His heart!

Mikey is the HEART.

The most empathetic of the brothers,

the most emotionally intelligent.

The one always willing to reach out and help someone

Even if he has to go against his own FATHER!

The sunshine in the dark!

The emotional center!

HOW DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW THIS! HOW IS THIS NOT THE MOST OBVIOUS THING EVER?!

whats more terrifying? the idea that in this universe you're the leader, that you have no sense of humour, or the fact that raphael is funnier than you?

i like to call this one "leonardo meets his match"

part 1| part 2 | part 3 | more of this crossover

Got an anon ask ‘who my least fav turtle is if Leo is my favourite’ and it made me realise I don’t draw my ACTUAL favourite turtle enough, so it might really look like that 😤

I wanted to doodles just the three recent ones but my brain went brrr, and my hand slipped and kept slipping until I got the whole orange fam (could probably still add a few more, maybe later). Anyway, MIKEY SUPREMACY ✨🧡🍊💪 (I love them all but he has a very special place in my heart).

( you can find it on Redbubble ⭐️ )

EDIT; Someone asked me who some of them are so;

[whatdancingdorkswasalreadytaken]

this scene means so much to me for several reasons

raphael and michelangelo waiting with donatello for him to get his letter

raphael not being super sarcastic because he knows donatello is nervous

leonardo rushing into the room to hand it to him

donatello passing with the highest score ever. you go king

how fucking happy they all are for him i can’t take it

TMayNT Day 7: Best Turtle Gadget

Day 7 of @tmaynt Prompt: Best Turtle Gadget! The Shell Cell is a fucking marvel! My biggest question is how the hell does it get any sort of service!? Like...do they piggy back off of another cell service or something? Is that even possible? XD

Also, I know the concept for the sketch isn't that original (I usually see this with Donnie tho), but like...think about it! You really think Mikey would pass up the opportunity to yuck it up with his dimensional counterparts and swap ideas about how to make their siblings lives hell with new pranks!?

saw that my Donatello fist fight poll was getting tracking again so I decided to choose violence this afternoon 🙂. (And I've been meaning to make another poll like this so win win 😙)

I tried to do a re-draw but I gave up 💀

[bulbabutt]

uh oh rise mikey's learning a new trick!

do i even need to say what im referencing here, i think we all know what we were robbed of (for the like 4 people who dont already know, we were supposed to get a rise episode where raph donnie and leo got turned into turtle tots and mikey gets to be their big brother, which he was going to like a lot. it was going to be a reference to this specific same concept from the 1987 episode "adventures in turtle sitting".)

[ryanthel0ser]

[whatdancingdorkswasalreadytaken]

i love them all so much
