everyone shut the fuck up and talk to me about episode 2.24. it’s my new favorite episode of tmnt. ever. including rise.

i did math to see the time differential between dimension x and earth, and i assumed that 30 days equals 10 years, so one minute on earth is 2.03 hours in dimension x. and that’s probably lowballing it. we don’t know the precise length of time that leatherhead was in dimension x, or his aging rate bc he is both an alligator and a mutant. i assumed that he was probably in dimension x for about 30 years though because he said “i’ve been here decades” and he looks. pretty old. he was probably in his 30s ish? when the turtles met him? and now he is old and greying, but still able to move around and fight very well. so i’m assuming his lifespan is about a humans, but the aging process is a mix of human and alligator. he visually ages like a human, but keeps the agility and body condition of alligators. i also don’t know jack or shit about both aging processes so i am probably just completely wrong. also um i estimated that mikey entered the portal about a minute before his brothers, but in reality it was probably closer to 30 seconds. if we squish the timeline to match my estimate that mikey was probably in dimension x for just over two hours longer than his brothers, then it could be possible 1 min of earth time = 4.05 hours in dimension x. but no matter what, donnie was still right that their delay of the kraangs invasion by months in the kraang dimension would last no longer than a day back on earth.

okay enough about math what about MIKEY IN THAT EPISODE :D i was so happy for him man!! i have personal beef with you if you don’t like this episode. we finally got acknowledgment that mikey is fucking smart!!!! and he got a chance to shine and lead the team and feel needed and aaouggh. ph also mikey can speak kraang is my new headcanon. not like. in a way that he could translate individual words, but in a way that he’d ba able to hold a conversation and communicate what he needs. it’s my personal headcanon that kraang is a vibes based language. the chittering all sounds super similar to the point where there would be no point to distinguish “this screech means this but this means that”, so it’s more like. idk it’s late i just love my boy mikey and i’m so fucking happy that the guys called him smart and recognized that he is actually capable of doing things.

oh also this image made me cry. mikey and leatherhead are BEST FRIENDS 🥺
