AS FOR MIKEY;

(v excerpts taken from ch2 v)

There is a sudden gust of wind. The orange petals swirl around him and it turns to fire. Not just any fire, his fire. It caresses his scales playfully, constantly moving around him, circling like an excited puppy with too much energy. The fire moves in front of him in the space of a person standing on that bed of marigolds. White eyes blink open from the flames. Mikey can only stare back. The fire moves again, but this time it licks away from the figure’s form. The eyes blink and tilt up in a way where it’s clear that they’re smiling. The fire reveals the figure underneath. He catches sight of orange fabric, white wraps on arms. Mikey only makes out a flash of green skin before a knock at the door snaps him from his focus. “Everything okay in here, Mikey?” Donnie and Casey stand by his door. Mikey blinks, “Yeah I’m fine. Is something wrong?”

mikey's fire.

i have only a bare bones of thoughts on his fire ill b honest, but as it stands, mikey's powers are literally part of him. he's much more intuitive at mystics than his brothers and in this, i wanted to emphasize that he is as much mystics as his mystics are him.

and in this case, the mystics are LITERALLY him.

Donnie and Casey glance at each other, the latter points to the sketchbook behind him. Mikey sees the sketchbook’s page freshly painted in an abstract version of the city he saw while meditating. He sees centered at the bottom the bed of marigolds and flames. And looking down at himself he sees his hands covered in paint. He was clearly working, but had no recollection of moving. “You were painting, but your hands were glowing.”

THE PAINTING okay. while mikey was meditating, sure i coulda had him float like future!mikey does, have objects in his room floating, the whole shebang, BUT.

i didnt.

there is a bit of power scaling im playing with here and to me personally, mikey is too weak at the moment to handle floating.

so that means; a vision, a dreamscape, a moment where he wasnt present in the moment and made something intangible, tangible via the painting.

i also just like the idea of visions being a form of proof? like it isnt all mental, its real and it has importance. its not JUST implicit symbolism and foreshadowing. it has relevance.

Mikey looks to the bed of marigolds and the bright orange figure of flame. He stares into the eyes of the figure again. They're winking. “...Huh.” 

the wink. come on now.

literally winking is such a fundamentally playful action and it fucking RUINS ME every time. it literally just show ME that even during the apocalypse mikey manages to find a way to be so so fun and ill cry if i think about that fact too hard.

fucked up thing about dreams is that it’s literally your brain conjuring up stuff as u think it so every time you’re like “oh boy sure hope there’s nothing in the mud over there that’s gonna try to get me” well guess what.
