Mikey Goes To Oz

<Time spent: 49 hours 17 minutes>

When Mikey takes some time away from a loud family squabble he accidentally ends up getting “flushed” down the sewers. This winds up sending him to the colorful land of Oz where he meets a good witch, a wicked witch, a brainless scarecrow, a heartless Tinman, a cowardess lion, and a powerful wizard, all disguised behind very familiar faces.

A canon adjacent spin off set before the season one finale but after they discover Splinter is Lou Jitsu

I wanted to fit each of the boys into their “you’ve had this all along” category. Leo isn’t brainless, in fact he’s pretty clever with a street smart, people reading ability on par with Donnie’s intelligence. Donnie isn’t heartless, he just has a tough time expressing his feelings. They are complex and unalgorithic but he can get just as excited or sad or angry as anyone, as much as he may deny it. Raph isn’t a coward, but being brave sometimes means admitting you’re scared and that you maybe don’t have all the answers. You dont have to be strong all the time and you don’t have to do it by yourself.

In the movie Dorothy’s journey home is also a representation of her running away. The important thing was to remember there were people who cared about her. Mikey is experiencing a similar phenomenon, wanting the escape the bad vibes in the lair. His “you’ve had it all along” is interesting because it is an object, since the Ruby kneepads could’ve taken him home the whole time. And sometimes getting home means going on a journey only to realize you never left.

I put April as Glinda because Glinda appears as a defender of the weak, and I see April in a similar light. Always willing to help and beat someone up if it is so required. Splinter as The Wizard of Oz represents Splinters own willingness to hide behind different personas, his running from the past and the pulling back of the curtain for Mikey in timeline. The Wizard grows through the movie, albeit quickly, and ends up leaving Oz to go home leaving his legacy with the scarecrow, the Tinman, and the lion. In this case the passing of the baton to his sons.

Meanwhile Draxum as the wicked witch felt much more how Mikey sees Draxum at this time in the show, mostly just an antagonistic force who wants something from them. Fun fact: I imagine throughout this dream, Draxum is uninterested in being the wicked witch but is pressed into it via plot. Hence his disinterest in being “melted.”

Additional characters not pictured: Big Mama as the Wicked Witch of the East (those were her Ruby kneepads!!) and Todd as the Mayor of Munchkin Land. If you can think of more, feel free to leave them in the comments or tags.

Wirt and his turtles.

From Old Black Train! The Beast Wirt fanfic where Wirt inherits a train and Greg names so many turtles! And Beatrice has an axe!!

Read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51873901/chapters/131160241

All the turtles pictured are ones that have been mentioned by name in the fic so far. The hats that two of the turtles have were made by Greg.

(Turtle names labelled under cut. See how many turtle name references you can spot!)

Ridley Scott: I made a film about two rival officers constantly duelling throughout and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, and now I've actually done a film about Napoleon!

Me: Great! Could you also do a film about Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a vital innovator in European battlefield surgery and triage, often considered the first military surgeon; who pioneered the ambulance volantes ("Flying ambulances") to quickly transport wounded men from the battlefield, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units; co-led the team that performed one of the first accurately recorded pre-anaesthetic mastectomies in Western medicine; was spotted helping wounded men while under heavy fire during the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington who purposefully ordered for his soldiers not to fire in Larrey's direction; and when captured by the Prussians after the battle was about to be executed on the spot when he was recognised by one of the German surgeons, who pled for his life because he had saved the life of Field Marshall Blücher's son some years earlier?

Ridley Scott:

Ridley Scott: Um.

Me: Yeah. Didn't think so.

The Punisher #1: Marching Powder

by Mike Baron; Klaus Janson and Jim Novak

Marvel

[the-maddened-hatter]

Had some ideas for Upstairs Downstairs Hazbin Hotel expys. Still very much in a WIP stage, but check it out if you're interested! (also I only ended up seeing like 6-ish? episodes of it, but I did like what I saw, and I read a few Wikipedia summaries too!)

It's long and very more than likely 50/50 ooc, so there's a read more

This one covers expys of Alfred and Sarah, but hopefully other characters are to follow!

Alfred-

Potential Death name: Soleil, if renamed by the French speaking Sarah expy, with her telling him that for all the darkness there can still be light and salvation. He would likely initially be resistant to taking on a death name as he views it as lying, but she points out that their former employees forced him to take up the name that to their eyes best suited his role, and that this was closer to authenticity than that was.

Species: Sinner Demon

Gender & Pronouns: Cis man, he/him

Sexuality: Gay

Description A smoke demon, he becomes more corporeal the calmer he is and more smoke when more agitated. When fully (or nearly fully) corporeal he looks very similar to when he was alive, with dark wavy hair, pale gaunt features, and slightly stooped posture, though slightly hazy and immaterial, emitting a gentle glow and heat. In full smoke form he remains humanoid, but grows in height and is composed of thick roiling smoke with eyes that glow with a nauseating white heat. He cannot dissipate from this form, but he can generate more smoke that fills the surrounding area. He may not have a full demon mode, or is perhaps merely to timid to have discovered it yet.

Occupation: In life he was a footman, though thus far in hell he has not secured a lasting occupation and is currently squatting in a largely dilapidated building with his companions.

Cause of Death: Hanged for murdering an aristocrat (in self defense, as the man sadistically abused and tortured him though the judge wouldn't hear it).

Location of X: Visible in the back of his throat due to being hanged (additional, far smaller xs are sometimes visible in the smoke swirling around his body in smoke form, as he was suffering severely infected injuries prior to his execution that likely would have killed him had they not)

Powers: He has the ability to impair others' breathing due to being hanged, produces a painful aura of heat when agitated, his corporeal touch can burn (temporary) Xs onto the skin of others

Personality: Extremely anxious, paranoid, and traumatized. He was very religious throughout his life, learning to speak through scripture and religious versus (he's autistic) and is now largely unsure how to proceed. He often behaves strangely, but ultimately is very protective of his found family.

Bonus:

The traits of his Sinner Demon form come from how he was suffering a fever from infected wounds at the time of his death, feared fire, burning, and hell, and how these things were used to torture him (thus driving him to commit the murder, thereby being just as responsible for his death as the rope. Though his smoke form is a mockery of his life's fears it also serves as a promise that he can never be hurt again the same way as before. He can be injured in his corporeal form and must remain solid to heal, but he cannot take further injury once in smoke form.

Sarah

.Potential Death name ideas: Chanteuse. Mirror.

Species: Sinner Demon

Gender & pronouns: Cis Woman, She/her. OR, more interesting idea: genderfluid with changing or mirror pronouns 👀

Sexuality: Bisexual

Description: A parrot demon with small chattering mouths hidden under her feathers that grow in size and get louder in their overlapping the more she lies (they close and shrink when she tells a truth). Her plumage frequently molts and changes, mimicking multiple types of parrot coloration.

Occupation: She has taken on many many short lived jobs since arriving in hell, including singer, pickpocket, prostitute, actress, model, clerk, robber, burlesque dancer, beautician, nurse, getaway driver, and more. She burns through good will quickly, but is always ready to try something new or revisit an old endeavor.

Cause of Death: Though she always invents different falsehoods regarding it, she was stabbed to death by a rich artist she'd seduced because he (erroneously) believed she was scamming him when her criminal past and dubious romantic track record came to light.

Location of X: Over her heart

Powers: Temporary hypnosis that can be bolstered by singing (the more of the mouths she uses the more powerful the effect it is, but the greater the fallout when the effect wears off). Gliding, and a painful venom when her hidden mouths bite.

Personality: A compulsive liar, but very creative, spirited, and hates to see close friends upset. Greatly desires a fanciful romantic love, but is understandably dubious since showing genuine vulnerability lead to a terrifyingly violent and untimely death.

Draxum's hands were shaking. Badly, Raph noted, staring at the noticeable tremors in the yokai's hands.

[TW: self-destructive behaviors, eating issues/implied disordered eating]

He'd seen Draxum's hands shake before, back in his own time, when the Hidden City was first discovered by the Kraang and quickly overwhelmed with all the hounds and mechs and zombies they could throw at it, and the Resistance had to declare the ruins unsalvageable, not worth trying to win back.

He'd seen them shake when Casey had returned a month after being declared missing in action (declared dead in all but the use of that word; all M.I.A. meant anymore was that there was no body to bury), not only alive and minimally injured, but hauling a four-month-old baby in a makeshift sling.

He'd seen them shake when he'd woken up from an artificial, anesthesia-induced slumber, a grey, lonely night with no stars, to see the face of the man who'd had to amputate his hand and tell him, "you barely survived as it is, Raphael," a heavy guilt weighing down his shoulders and carving new lines into his face.

He didn't know why they were shaking now. He focused on the vials Draxum held, ingredients for some chemical or other he needed to synthesize, seemingly vibrating as a result of the trembling hands that held them. Was it exhaustion? When did Draxum start working today?

When was the last time he had a meal?

Raph voiced his thoughts.

"I'm not hungry," came the answer, not enough in and of itself to give Raph what he needed to know, if not for everything he knew about the person Draxum was. Is. Would one day be?

"Draxum. That's not what I asked you." Raph reached out hesitantly, ready to withdraw his hand if it was rejected. The scientist didn't respond, at least not immediately, his back to Raph even as his hands still shook.

Something in Draxum's shoulders relaxed--not truly relaxed, so much as lost the tension holding him stiff and upright--and he sighed. "I can't stop now. There's too much I still need to do." His hair lay limp and matted against his back, greasy from lack of washing.

How long had Draxum been doing this? Destroying himself? How long had Raph not noticed it?

"Just a quick break," Raph tried. "Get a small meal in and get back to work after that."

A sharp headshake. "I can't--I can't. If I stop now, I'll lose all momentum--I have so much I need to do tonight--and I've gotten behind over the last few weeks, I can't fall behind my schedule any further, and besides, I haven't earned it yet--"

Suddenly Draxum whirled around, the vials in his hands dangerously close to spilling. "All of yokai-kind is depending on me. I can't let them down. I can't let more lives be lost! Too much is at stake here to simply take a break!"

The picture was familiar, heart-achingly so. It only took a flicker of imagination to superimpose Raph's own brother, to replace Draxum's desperate, bloodshot eyes with Donnie's wide, worried ones. The concerns were practically identical: the certainty-laced fear that rest now would be paid for later in agony and blood.

"What's yokai-kind gonna do if you work yourself to death?" Raph replied, as gently as he could, reaching out for the vials Draxum gripped so tightly. "Whatever you're doing here, who's gonna do it if you can't? Me? You know I'm not a science guy, Drax."

There's so much weight on your shoulders, Dad, Raph thought. Let me help you carry it.

Raph took hold of one of the vials, tugging gently. At first, it seemed as though Draxum wouldn't let go, that he would hold on even tighter, chase Raph out of the room and return to killing himself slowly. But after a few seconds, the scientist's trembling hand loosened, allowing Raph to slide the glass from between his fingers and set it back in the holder. He took the second with no resistance, and did the same.

Raph allowed himself a small smile, a tiny flicker of the ever-present tension between his shoulders melting away. "Okay, Draxum. Let's get you some food, maybe a nap, and see how you're doing after that."

This mad scientist at least, he could help.
