Ballet master mikey

Literally while I'm trying to sleep I couldn't stop thinking abt this. Like all I could imagine so many fanart of mikey dressing up in leotards and tutus and sparkles (like you can't tell me the boi w stickers and smileys wouldn't bedazzle his outfit!) While he doing some sick ballet moves.

ALSO the idea that he's super graceful on land while super clumsy in water (cos box turtles are not the best swimmers, actually can only swim in shallow waters for short distances ONLY)

And like the fic ideas. Like imagine the his other brothers start teasing him (probably leo first) abt doing ballet and mikey getting pissed and betting them to do it. Idk what like losers gotta clean the lair top to bottom.

And all the other brothers so confident with their strengths: raph strong, donnie intelligent and leo just straight up winning (almost) all the time.

Mikey ofc calling april to come watch (and record) cos he knows whats up and she knows he knows he's being a little shit and ready to sit back and enjoy the shitshow.

And ofc the other brothers are now realising their mistake, cos dear god they have to constantly stand on their toes! And what do you mean they have to hold their leg up for that long while their dying leg bouncing and spinning them around without falling face first. And mikey constantly adjusting them as they straining to keep as straight and steady as possible.

And basically just collapsed in a turtle pile after like 20 minutes while mikey literally dancing around them like nothing. And mikey like "aw you guys ok, I thought you said you can 'twirl circles around me' and the only one I see doing that now is me".

And I'm like sooooooo unfulfilled that looking it up on ao3 and tumblr to find like 2 fics and 5 posts on this ;-;

In the episode “sewer games” one of Aprils comments says that Mikey is a ballet master so ofc I have to draw it!!! But because I initially couldn’t design which colours to use a made 3 different versions and a mix of these three!

[image description:

Mikey, who’s wearing a ballet dress, gloves and ballet shoes, in front of a plain light orangish yellow background. He is balancing on his toes of his right food and pointing his other leg straight upwards. His left hand is pointing towards the floor and his right upwards.

The dress has gold details. The top half of the dress and the gloves are sparkly. In the first picture the outfit is orange and red. In the second one it’s red and pink with blue details. In the third it’s purple dark redish. The fourth outfit is a wild mix of the other three.

ID end]

Does Donnie have any feelings about how he’s able to walk on water, and also can he choose not to? It must suck for a turtle not being able to swim if not :(

Also how often does he dance?

Would Mikey dance with him? (Cause I think Mikey was once described in the show to be a good ballet dancer)

he can choose not to and he can still swim! walking on the water feels totally natural and normal to him-- someone would have to point it out to him before he'd start to question it.

also, he spends tons of time dancing! hours every day are dedicated purely to ballet. partially because, even before he became the guardian of the lake, it was one of his favorite hobbies. and partially because he feels compelled to by the lake itself. in terms of mikey--

absolutely they dance together.

PB&J but so tiny no taller than a bluberry 🐢🐢

[turtleblogatlast]

There’s something so intensely funny to me about Donnie loving to dance…but being the absolute worst at it

Like just looking at their scores for the dancing game, Mikey clears everyone, Raph holds his own, and Leo tried just hard enough to beat Donnie, and I find this all so dang funny

This isn’t to say he’s bad at it, we know they all have at least some skill in that area, I just like the idea of characters enjoying something but not being super incredible at it just because they like it! It’s a humanizing trait that I don’t see often

Mikey being a ballet master inspired me

If season three happens we need a Mikey ballet episode I'm not joking

dump dump dump dump dump

I personally headcanon that before he started to use magic and wore himself out Mikey would dance ballet to relieve himself of the stress. Casey Jr saw him do it one day and asked him to teach him, and so he knows how to ballet. I’m going to manifest this into canon by sheer willpower.

In the Usagi Chronicles episode Adventures in Ninjasitting, Kitsune suggests that Chizu should teach the Neko Ninja to dance when Chizu is trying to reform them.

However Chizu ends up dismissing the idea as she doesn’t think that Ninja’s would dance

The fact that Chizu kind of laughed at the idea of dancing Ninja kind of makes me wonder what she would think if she ever met the Turtles considering that they have been shown to like dancing.

Not only do the Turtles have a dancing game which they all play but Donnie & Mikey have also expressed interest in dancing as a hobby.

Donnie: Stop! It's not that..It's...It's Bootyyyshakker9000. Capital B and three Ys in booty.

Donnie: What? You know I love to dance. Not going to apologise for that.

Donnie has stated that he loves to dance & Mikey was called a ballet master in on of his Lair Games interviews, so if Chizu & Kitsune ever met the Turtles there’s a chance that Kitsune would probably be smug over the fact that ‘Ninja do dance’ to Chizu.

Pas de Deux || The Bear Ballet AU

It is highly unlikely that I'll write anything - this is just a random concept that came to me in a daydream. Enjoy some loose thoughts under the cut though.

Donna as a Dance Mom™ would be perfectly in character. She's constantly reviving her glory days as a ballerina on the corps of Chicago ballet. She resents her children for making her give up her career, potentially giving Nat body image and self esteem issues, and pushing Mikey and Carmy past their breaking point… Also her whole aura screams cunty ballet teacher cursing and smoking during class.

Mikey takes over Donna's studio after a career ruining injury (and subsequently gets addicted to painkillers).

Carmy gets a scholarship to study ballet in Europe, then returns to climb the ranks and eventually become a principal dancer in the New York ballet. The plays on his name and the ballet Carmen are fucking exhausting and end in a shouting match more than once.

New York asshole boss is an old school ballet master. I'm picturing Vincent Cassel in The Black Swan, vicious and overbearing, giving Carmy shit for his height, and being a "Sergei Polunin wannabe" with his tattoos and his smoking.

Sydney dances from a young age, inspired by her mom. She gets very badly injured and steps aside for a while. She followed Carmy's career closely and saw him dance on her trip to New York. After a miraculous recovery from her injury, she takes up dance again and joins the studio - Carmy sees her as the only one on his level. Her dream is being a prima ballerina (and dancing a pas de deux with the Carmy Berzatto wouldn't hurt either).

Tina is a self taught dancer and Mikey brings her in to teach beginners classes and ballroom dance.

Richie is just there (canon compliant lmao). He picks up some stuff over the years but not enough to teach. He eventually becomes essential to running the place, booking venues and running social media for the studio as it grows into a high level academy (think Eva Nys on TikTok)

Nat abandoned dance completely right as she could have turned professional (Donna never forgives her) but she returns as a manager for the studio once things start to get serious after Carmy's return.

Pete LOVES ballet but can't dance at all.

HI THERR ^^ my name is Austin or Reaper and I have a couple of TMNT Hcs. Some are the Rise version, others are the 2012 version.

First, for both versions, I think the turtles are heavily co-dependent on each other. Like HEAVILY. Let ONE turtle not come back home one night, everyone is freaking the hell out. ESPECIALLY IF IT’S MIKEY.

Another both versions HC, yk that whistle in Black Widow? The turtles have a certain calling system, kind of when teachers clap and you clap back in school. But it’s whistles and chirps. And it’s like silent communication in a way. Also, Master Splinter is definitely usually confused when he hears the whistles and chirps but has decided against saying anything.

Now, for 2012 HCs!

Ralph has major anger issues. Like completely destroying his room, cracking fingers to calm down and accidentally broke one, punching walls in the holes kind of anger issues.

Donnie is somehow the type who has such an unhealthy eating disorder (eating a lot one day and then not eating at all while designing an app another day) and it’s a miracle on how somehow, it hasn’t stamped his fighting abilities.

Leo paces in circles when he’s bored or practicing a new technique with his sword. Perfect circles if he’s anxious about something.

Mikey has an acrobatic fighting style (this goes for Rise and 2012).

Donnie used to have a rubix cube hyperfixation and literally has over 26 rubix cubes in there, 3x3, 2x2, 100x100, you name it. It’s not has much of a bigger hyperfixation now but you can still occasionally catch him fiddling and messing with one just to solve it again.

Ralph gets easily overstimulated with noise, especially if it’s insults and has a tendency to lash out as a defense mechanism when things or people get too loud.

Ralph is an avid smoker and probably an addict.

Mikey has completely mastered all forms of pencil spinning, every trick in the book and Donnie still gets jealous over it.

Ralphael “You didn’t eat again.” and Donatello “And you didn’t sleep again.”

Leo knows such useless but somehow important information? Like while Donnie knows only the important stuff, Leo knows the unconventional stuff. Like he knows how dismember a body but does not know how to cook a body.

Leo likes true crime podcasts and books about detectives.

Ralph and Casey do not argue. They spar. And whoever wins has successfully proved their point in whatever the argument was about and loser has to do what they say to fix whatever they were arguing about.

Have you seen the fights between Natasha Romanoff and The Winter Soldier? That’s usually them.

NOW RISE HCS!

Leo is a pathological liar, and is trying to not lie as much. He also has a tendency to copy trauma responses he sees on the tv shows Splinter puts on to get Splinter’s attention.

Leo would absolutely be a theatre kid.

Ralph likes hot chocolate and only smokes when he’s stressed or angry.

And also refers to his brothers as “his boys”.

Mikey commonly does ballet and is an aerialist. It helps a ton with his fighting style — seeing as both ballet dancers and aerialist have to be A. On point, B. Discipline and able to handle being pushed beyond their physical limits and C. Controlled and deadly.

Again, Donnie has disordered eating. But mostly just consumes drinks instead of actual nutrition and even has forgotten to eat at some points.

Ralphael “You didn’t eat again.” and Donatello “And you didn’t sleep again.” because YES.

Leo is, how could I say this? The brat of the family. Regularly finds loopholes to punishments he gets.

Mikey starts bouncing up and down when he’s excited. Pizza? He’s bouncing. Patrol? He’s bouncing. Movie night? He’s BOUNCING. Ralph, Donnie and Leo essentially have a damn ball for a brother.

Ralph is actually great with kids, especially younger babies. Surprisingly, they don’t seem all that afraid of him. It’s Donnie they’re afraid of.

Ralph still has horrible anger issues, but in a way that his head starts to hurt when he’s angry. In a way that his own anger-filled thoughts terrify him, in a way where he’ll take it out on himself instead of others.

Donnie paces when he’s ranting and paces in perfect circles when he’s figuring something out.

Donnie is the “genius and madness” trope and nope. I don’t wanna hear any criticism.

Donnie does jigsaw puzzles. And has learned Japanese just so he could understand the sub version of anime.

Leo is a writer but NOBODY knows that.

And yeah, that’s about it :p

DUDE THIS IS INSANE /Pos

I love all these Hcs and I especially the overstimulated by noise one with Raph, which I think would apply to ROTTMNT Raph too

TYSM FOR SPENDING YOUR TIME ON THIS AND TELLING ME!!! LIKE SERIOUSLY, THIS IS IMPRESSIVE :0

[sha-biest]

You answered a question about if the GF! boys could dance and I think its important to say that in the episode "Lair Games" Mikey is stated to be a master of ballet.

I'm gonna write that down in my notebook! (I don't have a notebook, it's all in my brain. I'm gonna write that down in my brain) It's also so fitting for him for some reason and I love it!!

[desceros]

So I don't know if this counts as spoilers or not but would Mikey being a canon ballet master make an appearance in the symphony fic?

of course! you know they're gonna be sitting there talkin about tchaikovsky and painting each other's nails while bitching about [redacted redacted redacted] and [redacted redacted redacted]. arc 3 is mikey and raph bonding time, so i hope you're all ready!!

[pillowdrawz]

Ok, I jest realized how sketchy it would be to just get a random link to a video so I’ll do this again but with a pic of the thumbnail

Imagine this but Shellshocked. Not even a request or anything, just something for you to imagine

You know what's Funny Rise Mikey CANONICALLY Knows and Is a MASTER BALLET You bet I'm adding into my HC that Mikey thought Miles .
