“Fellow chucker”, party dude 🍕

[kathaynesart]

Oh... so that's how it got up there.

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

First and foremost, want to give a big shoutout to @thegunnsara now that I have finally finished their 3rd place prize with the inclusion of their amazing OC, Ibris. I still love their COVER from the Holiday Special Competition dearly! I'll be sure to slip Ibris into a few more scenes in the future. Sorry it took so long to finally get to him! I took some liberty with what his reaction would be to such a scene... hope I did him justice!

Hope you're all ready for some tension in the next update!

[sacredartist33013]

Background skills! That's the word I've been needing with my literal avalanche of various headcanons for stuff mikey could do... The one that slowly evolved into a very crazy list because i made them as interchangeable with the Mikey's as possible.

Also haven't seen this movie... But i think we have only batgirl and Damian from what i did see... So no dick grayson and mikey interactions😞

But Mikey's face of pure happiness at pushing buttons and batman probably secretly wanting to adopt or be an additional mentor to 4 teenage mutant ninja turtles makes up for it. He has a weakness to wanting to bring in children and help them. You know he's secretly smirking at the energy mikey has

I love the way he does it 🤣

Can I request headcanons for Bayverse Adult! Mikey, Donnie, and Leo reacting to his gn s/o asking him if you can introduce him to your family please? Only if he wants to!

Pairings -> Bayverse!Mikey x Reader, Bayverse!Donnie x Reader and Bayverse!Leo x Reader

Warnings -> None

Note -> Reader wants to see if they want to their family if they want to of course!

Genre -> Fluff

MICHELANGELO - MIKEY

His face just lights up the room when you ask him that question

Like a kid-on Christmas level type of excitement

"You serious babe!? Like Right now?!"

He would start to overthink this whole scenario is the most adorable way possible - asking raph to help him or Leo, one of his two older older brothers

Hes nervous sure but he is really glad that you asked him this as he was waiting for a long time

No one can tell me otherwise but I bet he would practise on what to say in the mirror

He takes this a sign that you want to up your relationship and that this is real

It make him feel more loyal even though your family doesn't know that he is a full grown mutant talking turtle

But he knows that you're family will hopefully understand

DONATELLO - DONNIE

He stops what he's doing in the lab as he was typing away on his computer, sipping on a apple juice that he got from the fridge

Then when you ask that question, suddenly choking on his juice as he was completely shocked that you asked him that all of a sudden

I mean he would love to but "You mean.. like your family-family?"

Immediately started to think of possible outcomes on this situation and what would happen

Then when you hit him with the "Only if you want to" hits him hard enough

Like wow, you really care about his comfort and his boundaries, he loves you all over again

Lowkey he would be terrified though deep down

I mean he's a huge over 6 foot turtle

But he really wants to meet your family

Would definitely spend most o this time trying to calm down before meeting your family

LEONARDO - LEO

A sudden pause as he stops wielding his swords as you suddenly ask him that one specific question if he wanted to meet your family

I mean it's not because he doesn't want to but because he feels a sudden weight on his shoulders

"But only if you want to"

That echos in his head over and over again as if that's going to help

But in the end he looks up at you with a calm and gentle smile

"I'd be honored"

He mostly gets introverted as it remind him that while he's always protecting others

But this one time, someone is willing to offer him something rather than demanding

Will go on a full-respectful mode if he does meet your family

Will spend most of his nights meditating to get this off his mind

-A<3

Day 203 of Mikey Way:

Happy Mikey

[sacredartist33013]

One is a closeted more tame dork the other is full blown and i won't say who's who.

It's kinda cute how much they mimic each other

I love it when they copy/mimic each other:

Something about Mikey’s and Leo’s cute dynamic rewires my brain.

Maitle: oh hey someone from the Highschool

Maitle: anyone there vagiley phantom sized?

Crabapples: oh great teenagers

Kwanbomb: @Footballking

Spits on outsiders: well damn

Footballking: dude what

Momosquad: but realistically, he’s probably ot one of the popular kids, you realize that right?

ItsBrittneyBitch: why not? Phantoms a cutie and like super fit

Crabapples: of course not he’s a freaky annoying ghost. Ghosts aren’t cool

Kwanbomb: definitely on a team

Kwanbomb: ghosts are SUPER COOL SHIT UP OLDFART

Mistlehoe: I’m siding with momo here. Why would he be in sports on top of fighting ghosts?

Momosquard: @Crabapples phantom is likely in this chat as his human self be nice and please refrain from picking fights with teenagers

Maitle: oh yeah that’d be exhausting

Maitle: and since he’s human ish he must need sleep and shit

Lilybily: oh no I wonder if he eats enough

Remi: if he doesnt were absolutely starting a food druve for him

Momosquad: that sounds like a great idea actually

Kwanbomb: the nasty burger lets him eat free actually

Remi: wait you guys knew he ate food?

Kwanbomb: yeah? Didn’t seem that weird

Maitle: ya’ll are dumbasses

PDAxpda: 😱

Footballking: geek loser

Footballking: you better tell us if any of your weird loser geek nerd friends are ripped

Momosquad: realistically if he did know why would he tell anyone?

Momosquad: why would anyone?

Kwanbomb: everyone would love him though!

Kwanbomb: hed be the most popular guy at school!

Remi: I’ve literally seen videos of phantom trying to avoid the school fan girls

Remi: people not knowing who he is the only thing keeping your crazy girls from mobbing him all day

Crabapples: it is disturbing any of you drool over a dead guy…

PDAxpda: @thealiveone

Maitle: …

Maitle: why are you ating the fenton kid

thealiveone: fuck me in the ass

Maitle: what the hell

Footballking: FENTON

Footballking: your know who he fucking is because of your parents shit don’t you

ItsBrittneyBitch: oh yeah

Lilybily: wait

Lilybily: does that mean fentons know

PDAxpda: 😑

thealiveone: are you stupid?

thealiveone: like seriosuly?

Spits on outsiders: pretty sure they would have hunted him down and tied him up and taken him away by now if they did

thealiveone: they have MANY notebooks detialing exactly what theyd like to do to him

Momosquad: thats unpleasant and concerning

thealiveone: NO SHIT

Maitle: so what I’m hearing is no one tells the fentons cool

Remi: no objections here

Crabapples: I may not like the creature but I’m not reporting anyone to them

Lilybily: please say hes not wes

PDAxpda: *snort*

Kwanbomb: so that’s a no

Footballking: cry about it weakling

Footballking: and ha knew it

Kwanbomb: that would be so weird if he was

Momosquad: you kids should be getting in trouble for that

Footballking: piss off

Mistlehoe: hey now

Crabapples: ah boys will be boys. Glad to see that much hasn’t changed

Maitle: the fenton adults aren’t even in this chat right?

Momosquad: after jack attempted to repeatedly take over the voice chat with ghost lessons they were removed

Maitle: cool cool

Remi: so if anyone shows this chat to them they get a public beating

PDAxpda: Shade will take the lead

Lilybily: that’s like a legit threat actually

Phantomsphine: WHY DID NO ONE AT ME!!!!!!!!!!

Phantomsphine: OHMYGOD

thealiveone: that and it’s been LITERALLY YEARS

thealiveone: and im aß with being subtle

PDAxpda: yeah dude it’s a miracle only Wes figured it out

Basted: so how much are you willing to pay or do to keep me quiet

Books-on-a-lance: he’s not the only one who sleeps in class, merely the one who does it the most

Mistlehoe: …and how much is that?

Books-on-a-lance: I see now that perhaps it should have been more concerning

[yeye23]

Now, I know this is not my usual content of action sequences.... But this was in my heart. I love me some 1980s and Donnie. It just works. Inspiration comes from the amazing Vee aka @risestarkissomega! Thank you for the wonderful fashion consultant! I had a lot of fun with this! Hope you do too! The Fashion Advice! Master Post

[notsotinyblob]

Mikey's gotta reevaluate what he thinks spider mutants are supposed to look like

[mysouleaten]

This was so cute 😭

helloo! i hope you're having a nice day and you're doing well<33, is it alright if i request hcs for draken mikey being friends w sort of social recluse/lonely reader? i totally understand if you aren't super interested in writing this, take care!!<3

Hey!! Hope you're having a nice day/evening too! here, I hope it'll make you happy! love yaaa, as a pretty lonely person I recognized myself a lot in this lol Btw. i am ALWAYS interested in writing stuff to comfort people. Dont worry hehe

DRAKEN AND MIKEY WITH A SOCIALLY RECLUSIVE!READER

DRAKEN thinks you’re quiet. Not in a bad way; like ‘doesn’t talk if unnecessary’ quiet’, which he thinks is a good thing. He gets it, he also only speaks if needed. He watches, he notices small things, and he’s pretty sure it’s the same for you. Your eyes seem smart, and soft: which worries him. This world doesn’t go easy on soft things. Oh but if anyone tries to mess with you…they’ll learn pretty fast that softness doesn’t mean weakness. Not with him around.

-He gives you quiet protection. You catch people backing off when you're near him, even though he doesn’t say a word. You once heard a guy mutter, “That’s the one Draken watches over. Don’t mess with them.” -He shares food with you like it’s nothing. You're sitting alone eating your lunch, and he silently places some warm food next to you, sits down, and says, “Yours looked sad.” -He lets you hide behind his rep. When a teacher tries to call you out for skipping class, Ken appears behind you. One glare from him, and the teacher just… walks away. -He teaches you self-defense (gruffly). He notices you flinch when people get too close. One day, he grabs your wrist (gently, despite his usual vibe) and shows you how to break out of a hold. “Next time, don’t freeze.” -He sits next to you silently until you open up. When you’re feeling particularly isolated, he finds you on the rooftop. He doesn’t talk, just sits, legs hanging off the edge. After a long silence, he says, “Let’s just not give a fuck about anything” like it’s the wisest thing he’s said -He deadpans with a sly smirk when you surprise him. You make a clever jab at someone, and he stares at you for a second before letting out a low chuckle. “Didn’t know you had fangs. Nice.”

You still remember that one day. The rooftop was empty when you pushed open the rusted door. You come up here a lot to avoid people, the way they stare, the way they expect things from you when you don’t even know how to exist properly. You don’t realize he’s already there until you hear the soft crunch of a chip bag. Draken.

He’s leaning against the wall, one leg propped up, eating shrimp chips like he’s been here forever. His eyes slide to you, expression unreadable, but he doesn’t say anything. Just scoots over slightly, barely noticeable, and goes back to munching. You hesitate. Then sit. Minutes pass.

“You come up here every day, is it for the dead plant over there?” he says, deadpan. You blink at the plant. “Trying to magically revive it or bury it?”

“Uh…Who knows…” you mutter. A beat. He leans back, tilting his head to the sun. “It’s stubborn. Like you.” You glance at him. “Is that a compliment?”

He smirks faintly. “Wouldn’t waste my breath if it wasn’t.” The silence that follows isn’t awkward, it’s calm. Like he’s giving you space without making it feel like space. Before you leave, he tosses a sealed juice box at you. “For the plant,” he says. But you know better.

Mikey thinks you’re like an XL cat! (A stray one. Who’s been through a lot.) You gotta sit real still and not make eye contact or they’ll run off. But when they do come close? Dude. It’s like winning the lottery. He thinks you’re super cool and wonders if you realize that! He wants to make you laugh more often. He thinks you really, really deserve it. Doesn’t care how many dumb jokes and games it takes. You’re like his friend forever, and ever. No choice.

-He treats you like a rare Pokemon. “You’re laughing!” he’d yell across the classroom. You hide your face, dying inside. While he laughs uncontrollably, it’s honestly cute. -He drags you everywhere like a backpack. “Come oooon, we’re going to the arcade!” Before you can say no, he’s already got your hand and is running, laughing like a maniac. No chance of escape. -He gets way too excited when you talk. You speak up in group convo, and he gasps like you just performed a magic trick. He fist bumps you so hard it nearly dislocates your shoulder. -He defends you without even knowing why. Someone tries to mess with you and he instantly goes full pitbull. “Got a problem?” Then turns to you like, “Were they your friend or somethin’? …Oops?” -He tries to make you laugh every chance he gets. Falls dramatically in the hallway, pretends to be dead. “This is how I die. Tell Draken I think all the women at his place are hot” You try not to smile. He definitely saw it. -He offers affection!! “You looked kinda down, so here!” He hands you a candy wrapper with a smiley face drawn on it. “It’s magic, it’ll keep bad vibes away!”

…

“Just trust me, okay?!”

Mikey’s dragging you through a glowing maze of arcade lights and screaming machines, his energy way too big for the narrow walkway. People move out of his way like he’s a tank. “I don’t even play games,” you protest.

“That’s a lie. You’re gonna DESTROY this one. I can feel it.” He plants you in front of a dance machine. “Go on. Just follow the arrows!”

You blink. “I’m not doing this.”

He gasps. “You have to. It’s life or death now.” You roll your eyes, but step up. He squeals like it’s Christmas. And when you stomp awkwardly through your first song, cheeks burning, he claps and yells, “THAT’S MY FRIEND!! LEGENDARY!!” like you just won gold. He laughs like a maniac again.

Somehow… you’re smiling.
