#tmnt 03 mikey

Listen I know he didn’t know but this was all I could think about that episode

[mintyyyshake9000]

I had an interesting thought earlier

So everyone knows that Rise Leo has similarities/traits shared with 12 Leo and 03

Y'know, being beaten up by a big scary villain and being yeeted through a window (or through a portal to a prison dimension)

But I don't think anyone has ever noticed the similarities between Rise Leo and the other versions of Mikey (excluding 87 and Bayverse Mikey) or maybe someone has and I haven't seen it yet

So I have made a list of all the similarities I noticed

Ones hands can tell the story of how they’ve lived… and how far they have come.

I’m a sucker for Good Dad Splinter ever since I watched TMNT ‘03. That rat was gifted sapience and his immediate instinct was kindness. I love that for him.

Rise Splinter lived a rollercoaster of a life, but as a Hollywood star he remembered the names of all his stunt guys and coworkers, and as a prisoner he cared for the rat that shared his cell. His sons are very close and physically affectionate, I think that says something about how he cares? That’s just how I like to headcanon him :)

It’s interesting to explore the idea that a seemingly monstrous transformation is what pushed him to be a kinder human

"don, let's pretend to whisper to each other and act like we're talking about them" "oh? why?" "to mess with them" "say no more"

menaces, the both of them

Me seeing pretty cool art of '03 Mikey and some awesome-looking redhead: 😲 oooooo pretty

Me seeing Mikey in both sets of armor: yoooo this is so cool! 🦾

Me getting snippets of dialog: ohhh so this is an alternate SAINW kinda thing. That's really cool, I dig it!

Me, seeing Mikey blip out at the end in a semi-traumatic way: ohhhhhhhh emotions

Me, seeing the name of the AU is "Pretend I Never Left": duuuuuude this is SO COOL

Me getting to the end of the art and finding out there's a 100k fic involved: 😲😲😲 SIGN ME UP BABEY

Me, finishing the fic several days later: my crops are watered, soul refreshed, everyone go read this fic please it's fantastic and deserves more attention

Pretend That I Never Left by @redstringraven

“Th-thanks,” he said. “Heh. I really thought I was a goner, the—“

She whirled around, and Mikey squeaked as the end of her spear caught the backs of his heels and swept them out from under him. He hit the ground hard, and in the same second he did, he felt pressure shove against his collar right at the base of his neck. He opened his eyes, intaking a strained breath, to see the very, very pointed end of the spear inches from his face, and the woman—half-standing on his upper chest—leaning over him.

“—hey—HEY!” He raised his hands. “Wait!!!���

“What are you?!” The woman demanded. Though the sun overhead silhouetted her face, he could make out hints of her expression: a blend of confusion and possibly fear. So, the usual when a human is met by a giant, mutant turtle. Juuuust another Thursday afternoon.

“Um!” Words, Mikey. You need to use your words! “I’m. I’m a turtle?!”

This goddamn fic has changed my Brain Chemistry!! Nearly 100k words of Mikey bonding with Aloy as he tries to get back home and helps her beat a cult and discover her origin. Literally no HZD knowledge needed. Mikey and Aloy easily carry this thing on their ride-or-die friendship alone!!

Klunk! He’s just a little guy

I love cats, they’re so cute :) Wish we saw more of him in the show, but just the fact that they have a cat is great. Poor turtles need an emotional support animal for all that they go through.

Even though Splinter is a rat, I think he treats Klunk like a fifth son. After all, he too was a misunderstood animal who only needed kindness once, and the love that his Masters had for him inspires his own kindness even now.

The episode as a whole was adorable! Even though they live in the sewers and fear humans, the turtles still have a little community of their own.

[I.D. Three panel comic using ROTTMNT Mikey and 2003 TMNT Raph. In the first panel Raph hunches forward, a tense expression on his face, and says "Ah, shell." Mikey, sitting cross-legged on a counter top next to him, says "Why don't you just say fuck?" In panel 2, Raph is shown from about elbows up, holding his sais by his face. There's an ellipsus by his head as he processes Mikey's comment. In panel 3, he raises an eyebrow and says "What is that", a question mark by his head. End I.D.]

Based on this post where I was talking about a Rise/03 crossover and how the cartoon rules for each show are different. And as per the movie, the Rise turtles can swear.

Y'know, I've really come to appreciate the fact that Leo doesn't give in and surrender his room to Mikey here.

Leo's no push over. He's not weak to the youngest's pleading. He's not going to give up what's his just because his brother was pouting.

Don't get me wrong - I love the 'Leo can't say no to his little brothers' trope. But the 03 version especially has always felt like a team of 4 equals, to me. Sure, Leo's the leader. But there's no rank, no seniority. Not like we see in other versions, anyway. *Cough. 07 and Bayverse. Cough*

They're quadruplets. No one's the oldest, no one's the youngest. They'll all go full Papa Wolf mode to protect each other from genuine threats. But they're also all on the same level as siblings.

No Little Brother Privileges.

No Big Brother Duties.

They're just Brothers. 4 Brothers.
