#we're at a point in the fic now where mikey wouldn't really go along with that

I feel so bad I haven't read your fics yet so I only know what I see on tumblr, I'm sorry.

But, for minor interference, will the boys keep up a gag in front of draxum for a really long time, like gaslighting him? I would feel bad except this is season 1 draxum so not as bad.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to <3

As a general rule, a lot of their tactics (in the fic at least) involve messing with his stuff rather than directly trying to mess with his head, if that makes sense. I have a list somewhere of all the crazy stuff they've done to annoy him so far, and while the exact strategies used varies from turtle to turtle, it's mostly stuff that they can explain away with "well I didn't think it'd be so annoying" or "i was really bored". I'd imagine that they're pretty good at knowing how to create enough reasonable doubt about their intentions to make it seem like all the chaos they cause is unintentional. (Or at least Donnie and Mikey are; Leo's chaos is completely unplanned half the time and Raph has absolutely no thoughts in his head when he does stuff like eating chess pieces bless him.)

There is one thing in particular that they might collectively agree to mess with Draxum on (and that's a big if because that would require actual planning and coordination between them. which is decidedly not their thing), and that's their names, because Draxum has not learned them. (He never asked and it's a bit late to ask now. It doesn't help that they all have four or five nicknames that get used frequently.) Once they figure that out, they might start actively lying to him about who's who and heckle him when he gets Mikey and Raph mixed up.
