Okay, TMNT Fandom.
I saw a post by a young fan saying that the Ninja ninja Turtles were now as old as their parents at forty. So I'd like to know who else is as old as or older than the ninja turtles franchise.
I'll start: in 1984 I was five years old. I saw the cartoon in 1988 and fell in love and I'm still there, in love. It's really deep. I don't think I can climb out.
Goobers.

mikey ask game: 6 and 13!!
6. do you have any mikey-centric fic recommendations? (including any your wrote!)
Wellll... I wrote Mikey and Mikey only and all my Bookmarks are Mikey fics sooo
13. what’s something about mikey that nobody seems to talk about that should be talked about more?
I think I have rambled on at length about that since 2017, and a LOT of people have either picked it up or had very similar ideas, but we really really need to get rid of this lasting idea that Mikey is The Stupid Turtle. Hell, online search results still auto fill it. I know I spent over twenty years pushing the 'Mikey Is ADHD and Autistic and emotionally intelligent' headcanon but alongside it I kept begging the fandom to write fics where Mikey isn't being dunked on as the team class clown or adorable moron.

That line is memorable as hell. Fist bump.

Okay, so now that more of us understand that with ADHD, the rampant inconsistencies are a huge part of the disability, ie executive dysfunction and dyspraxia and time blindness and hyperfocus yada yada yada, I'm going to dig back through all my Mikey And His ADHD posts to spot times I talked about his rejection sensitivity frustration moments. Especially 2003, who didn't get much screen time when it came to exploring the hidden depths behind the goofiness. In this essay I

I think people mistake confidence with arrogance. At least that’s what I think (I am referring to the anon who said people think you have a complex) you are an activist they see the word activist they think oh that woman is arrogant they judge you before they get to know you which sucks. I find your takes intriguing and thought provoking.
You're correct, that's what it's about. I've also been told that I come across as not worth bullying. It's hard to chip away at someone who has spent decades learning how to shield properly, who has already chipped away at themselves, opening up their vulnerable sides, showing people that they've already gone through the process of self scorn and come out with a stronger sense of self, knowing that things will keep growing and changing.
Let's take that down its obvious path to 2003 Mikey, whose confidence has always been mistaken for arrogance and brattiness and asshole behavior. He's a person who is already in touch with what he wants. That can come across as him being callous, insensitive, unknowingly insulting. But he's got a lot of generosity, kindness, understanding, hyperempathy, an uncanny ability to soothe emotional turmoil.
In fact, a wonderful fanfic by our archivist @hummerhouse explored Mikey's capacity for acceptance, his lack of greed for big things, how he's satisfied enough to know all he needs is his loved ones, his family being safe and together and able to chill out and not worry about being hunted, perhaps to sit in the sun with them and bask.
(The Last Ronin strips that from him like being flayed alive, isn't that fascinating?)

Michelangelo Proved He's Actually TMNT’s Smartest Turtle
...and Michelangelo is a party dude. Based on those personality traits– which have more-or-less been held up through the ages– one would assume that the smartest Turtle on the team is Donatello, since he does the machines (obviously), with Leonardo being a close follow-up as leadership of a ninja clan presumably requires intelligence. In fact, the last Turtle fans should expect to be the smartest is Michelangelo since ‘party dudes’ are notorious for being immature and making poor decisions–but in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm not woobifying him so much as cracking him open, seeing what's the best way to mess with his psychology, and shooting a confetti canon at him from all angles. It's still going to hurt, but that's what cracking jokes is for.

They're Mutants So Human Rules Don't Really Apply | Archive of Our Own
Am I really the only one with tags like that in the TMNT AO3 fandom?
Good thing I'm also under 'Autistic Michelangelo' and 'Michelangelo Has ADHD'. I don't think that was even a thing until a few years ago.

The Path/Transcript | TMNTPedia | Fandom
[Splinter sits on a chair in the center of a room. There are bookcases on either side of him filled with books and both books and scrolls are stacked around the chair. His walking stick leans against a stack of those books, and in one hand he holds a lily, in the other he holds nunchaku.]
Splinter "Lonely warrior, your path is difficult. Should we strive to be as cold-hearted as our worst enemy? Like your mighty brothers, you too are a warrior born and trained. You, though, are not as steely-edged as may be required... You follow your heart on a broken, curving road to uncertain destinations. Even so, there may still be balance for you. Will you choose wisely? With compassion? Or will you think only of yourself? We shall see."
He's talking about Mikey, by the way. Mikey is the lotus.
And then his cat dies in his arms. But he adopts one of the kittens, Klunk II.
@remmushound this is what's happening in the astral plane with the Multiverse Memories movie screen. Bayverse Splinter has some Feelings to sort through.
Ooooh, I should find the issue of City At War where The Rat King shows up during Splinter's hallucinogens, and Splinter is given a This Is Why You Suck trope speech about why he won't reach nirvana. Haha burn.

Favorite version Of Mikey
Uhhhhhhlhhmmmm
I need to think about this.
(I mean, there's the Mikey in my head who's cobbled together out of all of them.)
I'd say IDW is my favorite, because he's so clearly a blend of Mirage, Archie, 1990, and 2003. And Kevin himself made him.
Rise Mikey is a very very close second.
