Chara was abusive to me but I forgive them. I still love them so much and I miss being together, I wish we could stay apart of each other forever, even if it hurts me over and over again. - Asriel

"Acolyte" Michelangelo has joined the group chat

THANK U AGAIN TO @anixolt for accepting this commission request!!! Looks like 'Dino'-tello has unexpected company 👀

Hailing from his own alternate reality, "Acolyte" Mikey & his brothers had a very different childhood than the mad Dogs we all know and love. Set in a feudal Japan-esque world, Mikey and his brothers were raised under the Ninja Tribunal in a remote temple as future protectors of humanity...

However, fate was unkind to the lackadaisical Michelangelo who doubted the legend of the foretold 'Krang Invasion'-- let alone it happening much sooner than anticipated.

[link to twitter thread]

More lore below! (but heed the content warnings!!)

CW: implied family death, implied child abuse

Inspired by the 2003 "Acolyte" Arc, Mikey and his brothers were given to the Ninja Tribunal as children to raise as warriors on account of being gifted with mystic abilities; something very rare and unheard of in their universe.

Mikey was the most mystically inclined of his brothers. Because of this, he doesn't take training very seriously. He's also the oldest brother in his universe, but takes that role very, very seriously.

Splinter was their "father"... however, he was the one who gave them to the Ninja Tribunal. And they weren't exactly 'lenient' with children. Not when their purpose was to become warriors to defend the world. Because of this, Mikey hates Splinter. With every fiber in his body.

But despite their upbringing, Mikey was fun and kind.

But homie cannot cook to save his life

However, due to events during the invasion... Mikey is the last man standing. On the whole planet.

And he Snaps

With elevated powers and grief, Mikey traverses the heavens to hunt Krang and their settlements.

He uses dried Krang blood as his mask, having lost his in battle (and Krang blood dries orange when oxidized)

He dots his yellow spots with a drop of Krang blood to mirror Krang eyes. Using mystic abilities, the faux eyes can move and "look" around too. Terrifying.

However, due to classic Hamato shenanigans— 'Acolyte' Mikey may find himself drawn to a very, very different place than a Krang settlement 👀👀👀

Two things you needed to hear today:

“You can’t be a good child to a bad parent.”

“You weren’t a bad child, you were reacting to your environment.”

Is Bonnie's go-to comfort method "FEED THE KIDS" in ageswap?

Pretty much!! Cooking is a love language and Bonnie uses it to both comfort the people they care about as well as calm themselves down when they’re in high stress situations. I feel like Bonnie had a habit of cooking/ stress baking whenever they were upset and needed an outlet to release their feelings in a way that wouldn’t harm anyone.

I like to think that in the context of ageswap au specifically, Bonnie would have a candy that they can offer to all the kids during the loops (similar mechanic to offering the bright flower in game). I also think that they’d make sure all the kids were fed (especially loop. ) They make the effort to give loop a good meal every loop when they visit at the favor tree / give them a extra blanket + pillow from the clock tower as a compromise since Loop refuses to go back to the clock tower with Bonnie and the others until act 5/ act 6/ postgame etc.

its always funny to me when people cant fathom the idea of kusuke being abusive and get mad at people for saying he is, as if he didnt literally shoot lethal canons at his brother and take a chunk out of his arm

listen. hear me out. shadow not being able to talk properly and just mispronouncing/mumbling EVERYTHING when gerald first created them. i'm talking toddler/infant speaking level despite being like. above six years old when they first came out of that tube.

the adults who didn't like shadow using this as an excuse to ignore whatever the hedgehog has to say under the pretense of 'not being able to understand them', and not listening when shadow says they're hungry or that an experiment hurts.

maria teaching shadow how to speak and pronounce things right - it takes them a while, but eventually, shadow is the most well-spoken being on that ARK.

the adults hating maria for this because now they actually have to listen to what shadow has to say now because they can longer dismiss them due to them being unintelligible. they actually have to listen when shadow says 'that hurts!' or 'i want professor robotnik.' or 'i need water.'

and if they don't - well, shadow tells everything to maria, and maria brings up every little issue regarding shadow up to gerald, the lead scientist, who does everything to make sure maria is happy - which means making sure shadow is happy.

The og Pjo books are predomanently about child abuse and with that,comes a fair amount of themes of grooming.It's not super in there but it does arch across the series quite a bit,quietly,in Luke's serial pedophile status and the gods' martyring of Percy.Luke groomed Silena,Thalia,Kelli and Annabeth romantically and no,that last bit isn't a retcon since as far back as TLT,he does nothing to discourage her crush on him so the implication was always there but he also groomed the Titan's Army as a whole into his child soldiers and the Gods did the same to Percy only on a grander,more idealizing scale.They lied to her,they physically assaulted her,they insulted her,they used her for their own gain and acted like it was for her own good and they stole her childhood.They took advantege of her vulnerability and Luke did the same to a whole military's worth of abused kids and for a bit,he did the same to Percy too.It's hard to glaze over how awfully they were all treated and get the full picture for the story,ironically not unlike how they saw themselves in-universe.This is why i'm anti Luke x Percy and Percy x Gods ships in all contexts,even one-sidedly,because it weakens Pjo as a whole and feels like a cowardly cop-out as i usually see the defenders of 'Luke was Percy's bi awakening' and 'Dark Percy aus' acting as like if they don't frame it as grooming and instead as silly and lighthearted,then it's not grooming

But by irl definition and canon writings,Luke and the gods treatment of Percy is grooming and if turned romantic,falls under the more well-known definition of the former.She's 18 they watched her grow up ever since she was 12 as adults with the youngest having 7 years on her and the incestous abuser of her childhood best friend.There's really no way to frame it as something cute and funny without extreme insensitivity to grooming survivors and putting the new generation of Pjo fans coming in from the show in danger at joining them as it's been proven ships like this are used as tools for it,including in this fandom specifically.We also don't need Percy to like men to be queer,she's got a lot of subtext that borderlines on text indicating she's trans and shipping an autistic trans woman with men who abused her throught her prebucesent years all the way up to her entire teenage years is transmisogynistic for reasons i don't think i need to state and ignoring the many other women who were groomed by the same man you're shipping her with so you can make him look like her 'saviour' is regular misogynistic for equally obvious reasons

Aknowledging the grooming motifs in Pjo shouldn't be considered taboo and 'too much for a kids book series',because who exactly does grooming happen to and needs to know it's bad so they can spot it and save themselves from it?Exactly,kids.Plus,one of the book's is literally about the greek version of hell as a setting-I think if they can read that,it's okay to tell them 'Hey,adults being attracted to minors is bad even in fiction,please be aware of this and here is what it looks like so you can protect yourself and know how to cope if it already happened to you'

ITS LITERALLY THAT AND I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

UTMV fandom stop romanticizing trafficking, kidnapping, what amounts to basically mind control, and abuse just because it’s your “hot” little blorbo that does it challenge. Failed continuously over and over.

I think the worst part about it is when they use killers masochism to justify the abuse with “well he likes it!”

Pretty soon I predict some people in the fandom may tip to the other side of the scale and make killer start hating nightmare so much and sexualize that too.

Just let bro do one simple thing and breathe without constantly sexualizing him. like would you like it if you start sharing how much you hate your abuser and have violent thoughts about revenge only for someone to claim you want to fuck and have sexual tension with your abuser.

Every time someone in this fandom says something along "x and x trauma bonded over…" I audibly say "yikes!" to myself… it's a reminder of how the term has almost lost its original meaning now. For those who don't know—

Trauma bonding is: a connection between an abusive person and the individual they abuse.

Trauma bonding is not: bonding over similar trauma.

—🫀

adding into this: there are seven stages of trauma bonding,

love bombing. a manipulation tactic in which the abuser excessively flatters and praises in order to gain the victim's trust.

trust and dependency. after the love bombing, a sense of trust begins to bloom, making it seem like the abuser and the victim have a bond.

criticism. the abuser starts to excessively criticize the victim, creating a hostile environment of constant devaluation.

gaslighting. the abuser denies or "twists" events, aiding to make the victim question their perception of reality, memory or sanity. note that gaslighting is intentional.

addiction. the victim gets emotionally addicted to the reinforcement that comes after the abuse. see: love bombing.

loss of self. the victim loses their sense of self and may feel out of touch with their own desires, opinions and boundaries.

resignation and submission. the victim gives in to the abuser.

please don't use the term incorrectly. trauma bonding is awful and shouldn't be seen as a good thing.

i may be incorrect on some definitions. please feel free to correct me if that is the case.

Sibling Abuse

pt: sibling abuse

FINALS ARE OVER DESIGNING KALLAMAR TIMEEEEE

Conflicting dynamics between Michael and his siblings are so intriguing. I feel like a lot of people slant strongly one way or the other– he's either protrayed as a good brother who's been thrust into a parental role and does everything for his siblings, or as a complete monster of a kid who spends all of his spare time tormenting his little brother– but it's more interesting to me when it's both.

The Michael who cruelly locks his brother in a room surrounded by the things he fears most and the Michael who tries to redirect his father's abuse away from Evan and towards himself are the same person.

The Michael who did his sister's hair every morning is the same Michael who tore apart her toys when he was angry with her, and both parts of him were there when he found himself crying in her room at the realization she was never coming home.

On top of that, they probably had a lot of very normal moments, too. They played outside together in the summer and tried to pawn their chores off on each other. There was one song they all liked when it came on the radio, and they made fun of the adults they knew when nobody else was around. None of them knew how to talk about their feelings, but, when one of them had been having a really rough time, they'd find that the breakfast Mikey made the next morning was their favorite, or Evan's favorite show had been put on even when Elizabeth had the remote, or an anonymous party had left a really cool rock on Michael's bedside table.

It must have been strange from the younger kids' perspectives, especially Evan's. Your brother keeps making you cry on purpose, and he's so, so mean, for no reason at all, but you know the bruise under his eye had been meant for you.

okay honestly I don't give a shit whether the rest of Kaos is good or coherent or who it's sympathetic to or ANYTHING, they gave Hades an out and out victim-of-sibling-abuse narrative and I'm not 100% sure what to do with all of these emotions rn but I am surely HAVING them a whole lot
