Tmnt Mikey - Blog Posts

Just my fav heros- kind and empathetic ☺️ agile freaks of nature 🤩 Linchpins of their franchise 🥰🥹💜

Now I just need to find a hero who fits the bill and happens to be a middle child

They remind me of em sometimes lol

That story board has my heart 🥹

The hair definitely makes him look older (and ugly), but I think it’s supposed to make him look older. I like the idea that Mikey aged way faster, sure bc of the stress, but mainly bc of the mystic powers. If that time thingy portal literally evaporated his entire essence, than I think regular use of those powers would be likely to harm him and deplete him of energy, or age him faster. That badass power has some bad side effects :((

Also! The hair looks very familiar…

so that’s another reason for the hair. They both even wear a similar color scheme with their clothes! They directly compare him to splinter to maybe show he matured? Idk but that comparison btwn these characters means a lot for Mikey’s character… and all other versions of Mikey too. I do appreciate that.

…still ugly tho

According to the timeline I've put together for myself, Mikey is 39 in the future, and I've seen a lot of people say the war aged him so bad - which I agree with don't get me wrong!! He has not aged well, stress and trauma will do that to you!! But I think his hair makes him look a lot older as well, so I edited a couple of screenshots.

Some things never change…

Big bro!!!!!!!

Gauche of 2012 Mikey :)

MIKEY'S AND THEIR KITTIES :DD !!!

Rewatching When World’s Collide is so funny because I swear the only reason Mikey ended up with electrical powers had to be because in the middle of the writing process for the episode, the writers must’ve realized that they gave him like nothing to do when compared to everyone else so someone just went “lets kill him off briefly and then give him electrical powers when he comes back” and they just rolled with it not noticing how this plot line just happens and is never properly explained.

A hoodie that I desperately need of ice cream kitty, but since I can’t have it I gave it to Mikey :3

Oh me? Just thinking about the Mikey development we were robbed of with ride szn2 being cut short.

Thanks for asking

Michelangelo is super under appreciated and here’s why (tmnt comic spoilers ahead)

It drives me nuts when people boil Mikey down to “the dumb one” or “the silly one” (I’m looking at you 2012) because he is not just a one-dimensional character. He has many layers.

Mikey is such an important part of the team because of his compassion and empathy. He has a deep emotional connection with his loved ones, and seeks to connect even with their foes in hoping to stop the fighting. I would go as far to say he is more emotionally intelligent than his brothers, and every decision he makes is guided by his heart, which is a driving point of his character.

Here’s a few examples of things he’s done that reflect this point:

Becomes friends with Woody, who works at a pizza place and is able to bring them pizzas

Trying to defuse the fight with Slash when the turtles first met him, and later when he finds out Slash is part of the mutanimals gives him candy and befriends him.

Leaves Splinter when he decides to lead the foot clan because Mikey knows it will only lead to more violence. His brothers try to convince him to come back, but after Splinter tells Jenny to kill someone they realize Mikey was right and leave Splinter as well.

Holding a Christmas party to raise the spirits of his brothers after they left Splinter

Becoming friends with all of the mutanimals, even though he disagrees with Hob and the things he does

And that’s only a couple examples. The point is that Michelangelo deserves more appreciation. It probably saddens him that he isn’t able to live normally among humans, but it never stops him from making a friend around every corner.

Which is why every time I think of Mikey I always think of the quote “He wishes only to love…and to be loved.” And honestly? He deserves to.

You had a warning of don't touch. I wasn't kidding when I said I'm a bit much. It would appear it's a lesson you haven't learned, That when you play with fire, You'll always get burned.

*rolls hand with an authoritative air*

I was requested by @magicmike5000 to share my opinion about what I think of Mikey, and I simply can not refuse such an opportunity to rave about one of the most intricate and fascinating characters of TMNT franchise.

*pushes up glasses with a clearing of my throat* Behold the ramblings of an insane person:

*I love how Mikey is unapologetically himself at all times, in all things and in all places

*I think he’s an incredible asset to the team who is unfortunately underestimated and appreciated.

*I be always affectionately considered him to be the the cheese that holds this whole turtle pizza together and it just wouldn’t be the TMNT without him.

*Mikey has fascinating undeveloped and growing potential that is so unfairly unexplored.

*His simple pure goodness is far reaching and a total game changer which I absolutely adore.

*He’s one of those rare few good people and I genuine believe that he’s the type of person where the world is a better place simply because he’s in it

*Mikey is refreshingly emotionally intelligent, empathetic, spiritually intuitive, and is CANONLY the most suited for ninjitsu out of all of his brothers.

*He’s a subtle master at ninjitsu due to his flexibility and adaptability.

*Mikey is fascinating to study in action because due to his ADHD it allows him to react quickly and work with what he has within the environment.

*It doesn’t matter his size or strength (even though he is woefully under appreciated for his strength) m because he knows how to use energy and motion against his opponents on MANY different facets.

*Mikey also doesn’t even necessarily needs to be the smartest either because he knows how to read the situation and interact with people and situations of all types.

*Bottom line, I love Mikey and I personally affronted that he is so unexplored as a character. It’s a down right CRIME I tell y’all that he and I can’t be besties because I feel like we would vibe like none other🧡

WHAT ABOUT MIKEY

*tilts head with a confused smile*

Howdy there friend? What about Mikey hon?

I’m sorry but I am the confusion 👉🏼😅👈🏼

Random TMNT HCs

You can’t tell me that 2007, 2012 and Bayverse Mikey would not just absolutely jam to the Veggie Tales theme song. Like full on blasting this on speakers and belting out the lyrics accompanied with full on Fortnite dancing.

And how could they not just go fricken ham on “His Cheeseburger”

These songs were like designed specifically for the ADHD Brain tickles

Read the 40th anniversary comic, lost my mind, had to draw Frida~ with Mikey admiring his new sister's dope orange markings~
