I have a job interview in a few hours. Wish me luck! :D 🤞

[thedemisapphic]

I know I’m spamming y’all, this is the last time after this.

I just realized that without Mikey, Donnie would be left to do damage control on Leo and Raph’s arguments all by himself. And that fucking HURT.

Plus dealing with Leo throughout the movie… Donnie would never have Mikey by his side. Not once.

So when Leo is yelling at Casey? He has to hold him back himself. Go along with Leo’s impulsive poorly-thought-out plan without Mikey beside him.

When he almost gets crushed to death in the turtle tank? He is ALONE. And scared, with nobody to hug to make himself feel better.

When he takes over the technodrome? That’s a solo mission.

Truly it isn’t until Mikey and Raph split that Mikey is in all the places he should be again. Up until that moment, Donnie has no partner. No comfort. It’s just him, alone, throughout the whole invasion. April and Splinter had each other, Leo and Casey had each other. Donnie has… nobody.

But just the idea of Donnie navigating the past few months solo? Like listening to Raph and Leo fight all the time? PLUS him going through this very traumatizing thing BY HIMSELF?!!?! Y’all 😭 I HURT

Wait I got a thought… and I haven’t done any research, I’m just curious. Would it be possible to accidentally make a portal to the prison dimension from the Hidden City? Like maybe from the Crying Titan since there’s so much Krang stuff lingering around.

Not a permanent one, but truly a mistake where it opens for a few seconds, sucks in what it can, and then shuts off. Which fills the Prison Dimension with a lot of junk.

And if this is possible, it made me think… what’s the likelihood of a separated AU where one of the turtles ends up in the Prison Dimension the whole time? And they don’t find their lost brother until the invasion, when everything crosses over? It would probably be after they’re all tots, because the baby turts wouldn’t survive. So like Splinter takes them sightseeing and one of the kiddos gets sucked into that random weak spot that formed a brief portal. And Splinter wanted to try to get them back, but he struggled to keep the rest of his kids on the ground during those few seconds as it was. So he really just has to bail and take it to heart, the guilt eating him alive.

I don’t really like thinking up stuff like this where Leo ends up getting thrown in because there’s SO MUCH of that stuff with him, it doesn’t appeal to me in the sense of coming up with my own ideas.

We see Raph Krang content a lot. I’ve made my own fair share of it. So he’s ruled out, simply because I’ve had my fill lol.

That leaves Donnie and Mikey.

And I think Mikey would end up being the one to survive.

Donnie is a softshell turtle, which means he truly can’t endure the violent nature of the Prison Dimension his whole life. It would kill him. Even if Krang took him in, they aren’t nice creatures.

Mikey would end up being the one to get sucked into the portal.

So imagine the day of the invasion, when the three Krang come through the portal, behind them comes Mikey. Unsure if he’s krangified or not!! But it’s hard to tell who he is at first. The only one who can identify him is Casey, who has seen him before.

I think I’ve decided I don’t want him krangified, at least not in the same way Raph was. But like… a little of both. He is FIRMLY connected to the hive mind. Rather than developing his Ninpo, he strengthened that. And Krang kind of just… infected him. So he has awareness, but can maybe summon tentacles like they can?? Gotta make the smaller creature useful somehow.

During that first fight, they realize that it’s Mikey. And Mikey doesn’t recognize them at ALL at first. They try but Mikey plows through them.

And I don’t know how we’d get here, but I can see Mikey eventually recognizing Leo. And he acts before he can think, TAKING RAPH’S PLACE to save Leo from Krang. And Raph, who was gonna do that, is just kinda watching, still hurrying over. Mikey faces IMMEDIATE reprimand and Raph skids past him, planting the escape pod on Leo’s chest before Leo can break out of his shock. And Leo then is left watching BOTH of them get stuck there. This it’s important- Mikey can’t be left alone without a Hamato with him at this point.

Somehow, while Raph and Mikey are together, Raph helps Mikey unlock his Ninpo. Something he NEVER GOT TO DO before. And if we’re going to save whoever gets sacrificed, uh, WE NEED HIS MYSTIC HANDS. Because if Casey is here at all, it means they saved Mikey in his timeline and he was able to develop his ninpo. So Casey is aware of how powerful Mikey CAN be, even if today he’s at square one. So Casey is still able to plant that seed amongst his family.

Or, who’s to say Donnie can’t make a portal? Because Mikey, I think he has the most mystic potential. Isn’t limited to ONE THING. He can do a lot with what he has. Maybe Donnie could do it? Like him and Mikey actively working together?

I don’t know, but I like this idea :3

[thedemisapphic]

Actually?? I can see Mikey sitting in Raph’s lap during all of this. Because Raph was the one to help Mikey unlock his Ninpo, so naturally Mikey is going to cling to him the most. So Mikey’s just sitting there, Raph holding him, the two both zoning out as the unwind from all the adrenaline and stress. Actually, Mikey is probably incredibly fidgety and nervous, because the hive mind is gone. And he’s struggling to cope. So Raph is comforting him.

And when Mikey passes out, he just goes from this trembling fidgety mess to suddenly limp and still. With no warning. And Raph’s heart almost skips a beat with how sudden it is. He tries to wake him up but he just. Won’t wake up.

Panic.

And he gets louder as he shakes harder, everyone else looking over and noticing Mikey completely unresponsive in his arms. That’s when everyone jumps into action, Raph cradling Mikey the whole time and almost afraid to part with him when it’s time to hook him up.

It takes them a while to stabilize him, but they’re able to. It’s even longer before they let Raph near him, because they have to try and fix all the injuries that suddenly became a problem. Mikey is patched to oblivion. He and Leo are next to each other in the med bay, both on a LOT of painkillers. Raph and Donnie just sit in there staring at the two of them.

I can see Raph asking Donnie just talking about how scared they were while waiting for Leo or Mikey to wake up. And one of the things Raph asks is if Donnie had any real twin connection with Leo. And Donnie admits, he does. And he felt it snap when the portal shut. Donnie asks why, and he says that after being with Mikey in the Krang monster thing, he kinda feels that way about him. Like there’s this connection there. But it’s not really that strong, and Raph’s really confused about it. Donnie asks him some questions. Not in a scientific way, but just a gentle emotional “tell me more” way. And Raph tries his best to explain what it was like being a part of that thing with him. How their minds were merged. How it almost felt like they had their own link between them. And Raph’s never felt that way before. It just makes him even more scared to lose Mikey.

Donnie leans on Raph’s shoulder and tells him they’ll get through this. Raph takes a deep breath and tries to believe him.

Maybe- MAYBE IT’S RAPH’S CONNECTION THAT STOPS MIKEY FROM GOING INSANE??? Because like no doubt, he would absolutely have gone insane for at least a month straight without the hive mind. Like once he wakes up, he’s going to be right back to nervous. Maybe even ripping out IVs and pushing himself into a corner, screaming.

I don’t think you can blame him when it’s been there his whole life.

But if Raph has a connection to him now… if Raph can learn to work with it, that might help Mikey calm down a bit. So that Mikey knows he’s still connected to something. Because I’m sure Splinter would try to help him feel connected to all of them via ninpo or mind melding, but I’m unsure how well that would work. Raph HAS the answer, he just has to figure it out.

Man, that would be cool. Raph basically getting cool twin connection with Mikey like Donnie and Leo.

[thedemisapphic]

For a bit, I was wondering how Mikey would survive since there was no food in the prison dimension. For a bit I was like “Maybe Splinter leaves food near where the portal shows up, and Mikey eats it if/when it gets sucked in.” Because Splinter has to cope somehow. He does this more in the sense of someone leaving offerings or flowers than actually knowing he’s feeding him.

But then I remembered the headcanon “YOU CAN’T DIE IN THE PRISON DIMENSION!!!” So Mikey just can’t starve to death. He goes a long time without eating most times, but when he discovered that sometimes the little hole in the prison dimension sucks food in, he checked it out a lot. To the point that Krang noticed and started getting the food before Mikey could, using it as a reward.

I can just see, though, when Mikey gets back and his body starts to function the way it’s supposed to. Like maybe he just starts to shut down. Like a few hours after everyone is saved and home, he’s sitting around, feeling AWFUL. Because he’s STARVING and DEHYDRATED and probably has loads of untreated injuries that are finally catching up to him. And he just. Collapses. And goes unresponsive. Everyone is/was so focused on Leo that they COMPLETELY forgot about the new addition to their family slowly dying in the corner, and now it’s a race to figure out what’s wrong.

Luckily, Casey would have a good idea of where to start. Because I’m sure he’s been told the story of how hard it was for Mikey to adjust. So his first thought is “food and water” which is a pretty good instinct. Meanwhile Donnie is doing scans to figure everything else out, and that’s also insanely helpful.

I can see Casey running out of the room and coming back with water and crackers, just food that won’t be too much on his system, and shaking Mikey over and over until his eyes barely open. He sits Mikey upright and just says “swallow” over and over and he pours water into his mouth. This is while everyone else is kind of prepared a more medical way to help him, so Casey’s just seeing what he can do in the meantime. A lot of the water spills out at first and Casey has to go through a whole bottle before Mikey finally starts swallowing. Casey doubts Mikey can chew so he crushes the crackers in his hand as much as he can and slides them in, still “swallow” over and over until he finishes the water. And that’s when they get Mikey hooked up to stuff to help him.

I dare say Mikey is probably in a worse state than Leo, even after the events of the movie that Leo went through. Which makes it that much worse that Mikey got forgotten and left in the corner :(

Nobody is telling Leo- if he asks, they were treated at the same time.

Wait I got a thought… and I haven’t done any research, I’m just curious. Would it be possible to accidentally make a portal to the prison dimension from the Hidden City? Like maybe from the Crying Titan since there’s so much Krang stuff lingering around.

Or- when Leo is forcing Krang back into the prison dimension, Krang just sends LOADS of signals to Mikey. So Mikey, with Donnie and Raph on the ground, is just grabbing his head, screaming, because there’s so much feedback. Maybe by instinct he even starts to listen, trying to get back up, but Donnie being closest just holds his arms against his torso and endures Mikey screaming his head off at all the noise.

At least when the portal shut, Donnie wouldn’t be the only one that lost a connection with something. Everything would suddenly go quiet for Mikey, too, and I think that would TERRIFY him.

Like right now Mikey is in too much distress to even realize what happened to Leo, but when everything suddenly goes quiet, he turns and asks what happened. And Donnie is just staring up at the explosion, tears falling unbeknownst to him, and he says, “he’s gone…”

When they open the portal to save Leo, I can see Krang sending Mikey more feedback, and Mikey almost breaks away from the link. But Raph just pulls Mikey closer into a side hug,

“Just another minute, you can do it. Close your eyes,” he says. And Mikey does, putting his focus completely on supporting his family with his Ninpo. And he doesn’t stop until Raph tells him it’s okay.

When I have Raph recover from losing the hive mind in TSR, it takes a few hours. Mikey would take a LOT longer.

Imagine the foreshadowing when Casey wakes up upside down in the room.

“It’s you!!!” Happiness turns sad, “almost… all of you.”

Later in the tank when Leo and Donnie are talking to him about stuff

“So how did you make such a big leap in space and time!?”

“Master Michelangelo sent me back. He made a portal with his own hands.”

“THIS KID’S NUTS- I wanna meet him!!!”

Oh man- imagine Casey going into this mission, knowing that if he succeeded in his ORIGINAL GOAL he would NEVER see Mikey again. Like, ANY version of him. Ever. Oof I bet him dangling upside down is when he would have realized that, too, because Mikey would have been there for most of CASEY’S life, but he was a very new addition for everyone else. And just looking at the room without him it’s like… the grief for HIS Michelangelo sets in more. Because he doesn’t get to project his feelings into a younger version of Mikey. He just has to deal with the fact that Mikey is gone.

So when he sees Mikey emerge, I can honestly see a part of him feeling relieved. Mostly horrified- like he is NOT happy in this moment, but he sees Mikey and for a split second is just happy that Mikey is on this side of the portal, now.

This is sixbones btw. A deviantart user named zarla came up with and drew this, and I think it’s INCREDIBLY cool. Zarla is my favorite undertale artist to this day lol. Leaving the picture under the cut because it might be disturbing to some.

But this gives you a good idea of what I think Mikey and Raph would be dealing with. This, but Krang. If krangified Raph in the movie was hard to look at for his family, this is like 10x worse.

Because if Casey is here at all, it means they saved Mikey in his timeline and he was able to develop his ninpo. So Casey is aware of how powerful Mikey CAN be, even if today he’s at square one. So Casey is still able to plant that seed amongst his family.

Or, who’s to say Donnie can’t make a portal? Because Mikey, I think he has the most mystic potential. Isn’t limited to ONE THING. He can do a lot with what he has. Maybe Donnie could do it? Like him and Mikey actively working together?

I don’t know, but I like this idea :3

[thedemisapphic]

Like imagine after Leo gets taken away by the escape pod, Raph just watches Krang tear into Mikey with such horrible verbal and physical abuse Raph is like physically stunned before throwing himself over and body-shielding Mikey from it. And Mikey just throws Raph out of the way because he doesn’t want him there.

And Krang just “oh, you care for one another? Then I have a fitting punishment for both of you.”

And when he does the krangification thing, he MERGES THEM. Like any of y’all in the undertale fandom heard of sixbones? Like if Sans and Papyrus got caught up in Alphys’s experiments with determination and just merged into one weird monster? That’s kinda what Krang turns Raph and Mikey into. Mikey is more MIKEY still, because he’s used to being in the hive mind. But Raph loses himself completely, and Mikey has to mentally help him through it via the new link between them as they’re being controlled. So to the outside, they’re still a Krang monster doing the same stuff as in the movie. But on the inside? They’re actually pretty aware, thanks to Mikey. But they can’t break out of it until Mikey unlocks his Ninpo and Raph can think with a clear head, so they have to work together to reach that point.

And that scene where Raph pulls Krang stuff out of his eye? Instead it’s the two pushing away from each other and becoming their own person again, collapsing on the floor in a pile of Krang goo after they’ve broken out of it, still trying to fight away some of the static so they can think clear enough to focus on the task at hand.

Wait I got a thought… and I haven’t done any research, I’m just curious. Would it be possible to accidentally make a portal to the prison dimension from the Hidden City? Like maybe from the Crying Titan since there’s so much Krang stuff lingering around.

Not a permanent one, but truly a mistake where it opens for a few seconds, sucks in what it can, and then shuts off. Which fills the Prison Dimension with a lot of junk.

And if this is possible, it made me think… what’s the likelihood of a separated AU where one of the turtles ends up in the Prison Dimension the whole time? And they don’t find their lost brother until the invasion, when everything crosses over? It would probably be after they’re all tots, because the baby turts wouldn’t survive. So like Splinter takes them sightseeing and one of the kiddos gets sucked into that random weak spot that formed a brief portal. And Splinter wanted to try to get them back, but he struggled to keep the rest of his kids on the ground during those few seconds as it was. So he really just has to bail and take it to heart, the guilt eating him alive.

I don’t really like thinking up stuff like this where Leo ends up getting thrown in because there’s SO MUCH of that stuff with him, it doesn’t appeal to me in the sense of coming up with my own ideas.

We see Raph Krang content a lot. I’ve made my own fair share of it. So he’s ruled out, simply because I’ve had my fill lol.

That leaves Donnie and Mikey.

And I think Mikey would end up being the one to survive.

Donnie is a softshell turtle, which means he truly can’t endure the violent nature of the Prison Dimension his whole life. It would kill him. Even if Krang took him in, they aren’t nice creatures.

Mikey would end up being the one to get sucked into the portal.

So imagine the day of the invasion, when the three Krang come through the portal, behind them comes Mikey. Unsure if he’s krangified or not!! But it’s hard to tell who he is at first. The only one who can identify him is Casey, who has seen him before.

I think I’ve decided I don’t want him krangified, at least not in the same way Raph was. But like… a little of both. He is FIRMLY connected to the hive mind. Rather than developing his Ninpo, he strengthened that. And Krang kind of just… infected him. So he has awareness, but can maybe summon tentacles like they can?? Gotta make the smaller creature useful somehow.

During that first fight, they realize that it’s Mikey. And Mikey doesn’t recognize them at ALL at first. They try but Mikey plows through them.

And I don’t know how we’d get here, but I can see Mikey eventually recognizing Leo. And he acts before he can think, TAKING RAPH’S PLACE to save Leo from Krang. And Raph, who was gonna do that, is just kinda watching, still hurrying over. Mikey faces IMMEDIATE reprimand and Raph skids past him, planting the escape pod on Leo’s chest before Leo can break out of his shock. And Leo then is left watching BOTH of them get stuck there. This it’s important- Mikey can’t be left alone without a Hamato with him at this point.

Next chapter, hot and ready!! Read this fanfic via the link in the masterpost

[thedemisapphic]

Yesterday I spent hours cleaning and reorganizing my bathroom counter (it was bad) and I got it done! I showed my grandma the picture I took of the counter, with a joke of “let’s hope this system works with my brain and it stays that way! 😂” because I have a habit of putting things back down where I can see them, which causes a lot of counter clutter.

The following is the conversation that ensued:

Her: Well when you go to put something away next, imagine an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other-

Me: And they both have ADHD.

Her: *Laughs* maybe it’s different levels of-

Me: And maybe autism.

Her: Okay-

Kendratello question! Does Raph know Leo and Mikey basically unalived Kendra? How does he feel about it? Does he agree with their decision?

He does know. He’s a little miffed that Leo left him out of the plan, AND included Mikey. He confronts Leo right after they get back, and it results in a pretty big argument. They’re both approaching the fight with different mindsets too, which makes things even worse. Leo thinks Raph is judging his decision to take Kendra off the board permanently—that he was being impulsive again. But Leo had made the choice to deal with her for a long time, and he was just taking the opportunity. While Raph thinks, by leaving him out of plan, Leo was saying he’s too soft to do what needs to be done to protect them. Raph is against murder, but he’d also do anything to protect his family, and he takes that seriously. That means being the one to make the hard decisions, so that his brothers don’t have to, and it was clear from early on that Raph figured out, that Kendra could not have been allowed to remain around without being a threat to Donnie.

It’s been DONE!! Enjoy!! There will be 2 more chapters in the next few weeks :3

[thedemisapphic]

Might have just finished the next chapter 👀

I wanted Leo and Raph to really talk, but honestly I’m already at 20 pages and whenever I try to broach the topic it feels forced. I got the message from the universe saying “don’t”.

I just need to go back in and fill in some spaces. I won’t share this chapter until I have the follow up chapter done. I’ll probably share them both like a week apart from each other. Y’all might even end up with 3 chapters because the one that’s planned for after this is a journal entry chapter!! And those are easy peasy.

3 chapters to make up for the absence in content, I think that’s a fair trade 🙃
