[ cw: scars / permanent injuries / chronic pain / ]

Leo’s shell gets some permanent cracks in it due to the Krang, and as a result his shell’s pattern is all messed up.

He makes a fuss about it in a lightheartedly vain way, but it’s clear that it bothers him, more than just the chronic pain that comes with it.

The one who breaks about the cracks isn’t Leo in the end, it’s Mikey.

It’s a night where Leo can’t sleep, insomnia and the remnants of a fit pulsing through his shell keeping him awake. When making the rounds to check up on everything, he sees Mikey, crouched over some old crayon drawings, drawings that were only salvaged by some miracle.

Mikey always loved matching with his “cool blue bro” growing up. Their shell designs were something they had in common, different from the spines/spikes that their other brothers had. It felt good to share that with Leo.

To Mikey, seeing that pattern tarnished felt a little too much like their home getting destroyed. Worse, even. The two of them are complementary colors, it hits harder when things disrupt that.

And Mikey admits this to Leo, on this day where emotion kept mounting up in him until he couldn’t help but break a little. It feels selfish to say, but it’s the truth. It’s a visual that’ll constantly haunt Mikey, knowing what the cracks represent, knowing how they lost something that was just theirs to share.

Drawing Mikey to him, a hand on Mikey’s intact shell pattern, Leo admits that that’s what kills him the most too. He can deal with the pain, he can deal with the appearance, but he can’t deal with no longer seeing himself in the crayon drawings they managed to salvage from their past. Drawings that highlight their shell patterns, because Mikey always had a lot of fun drawing those.

He always loved what they decided they represented.

———

“Like links of a chain!” Little Mikey had called them as he scribbled them down in oranges and blues.

“Of course it’s like chains!” Little Leo nodded, having never noticed that before, “It, like, shows how we’re- how we’re always connected!”

Little Mikey had gasped at that, stars in his eyes as he babbled endlessly about how that meant they’re the chains holding the family together, right?

“Raphie and Donnie don’t have chains on their shells, so we gotta step up to keep everyone together!” Little Mikey said as he drew big circles around his drawings of their family, overlapping circles of orange and blue around everyone.

“Yeah! And if anyone gets lost, we’ll bring them back!” Little Leo boasted with a laugh, “No one has to be alone, we’ll make sure of it!”

“We’ll make sure of it!” Little Mikey echoed with a happy giggle.

———

‘You sure made sure of it, Mikey.’ Leo thinks, continuing to run his hand comfortingly down Mikey’s shell.

Then a thought hits him.

“Well, we got something better than just shell patterns in common now!” Leo starts, waiting until Mikey looks up to continue, “We got portals, little brother!” He grins, “And y’know, I think you’ve done a great job keeping us all together, Miguel. Sorry you had to pick up my slack.”

Mikey looks two steps away from sobbing at that, but his smile is wide, “You just got lost, of course I had to bring you back.” He leans back, out of Leo’s hold, and looks his big brother in the eyes, “That’s what we said- Raphie and Donnie don’t have portals…”

“-So we gotta step up-“ Leo continues.

“-To keep everyone together!” The finish simultaneously, laughing a little at the juvenile words.

A wry smile crosses Leo’s face, “Again, sorry I’ve been dropping the ball there. Feels like I did a lot of the opposite instead.”

He yelps as Mikey swiftly smacks him on the head.

“Nuh uh uh, none of that!” Mikey puffs out his chest, “I’ll have no slander toward my fellow portal pal!”

“Alright, alright…”

It’s not a fix to anything, more of a new way of looking at a change. Bringing that change into their lives as something familiar.

The cracks in Leo’s shell remain, and the cracks in Mikey’s hands scar over, but their family stays together all the same.

They gotta make sure of it, after all!

surprise my other hobbies are window shopping and fashion

#something something having hobbies across fields genres media and subjects can only enrich and influence your artmaking #because Mikey strikes me as a maximalist #Donnie gives me vintage and statement pieces feelings #Leo... minimalist with a sprinkling of avant silhouettes and a dash of retro #Raph... just wears what April suggests with the barest idea of what he likes #wherein my iteration April is deep in the goth an punk scene so she gotta drag this turtle man through her closet #legoclacking my usual linework with fashion illustration was a fkkn trip #god there's a look from Balmain RTW AW 2016 i wanna put my Leo in.....#fuck it I will who's gonna stop me?#balmain?#i'm so curious what the kids will tag this as #i say tagging everything but what this is #snack iteration?#my iteration?#i know the red blue glasses is gonna get one of these kids tagging it as rise #others gonna clock their li'l dumpling heads and tag as 03 #what they don't know is my iteration is mainly based off Archie run comics and Next Mutation #mehehehehehehehehe #...hiiiiiiiii kiiiiiiiiiing #OuO #accessories was tough because I like it costume and avant #so it was a miracle finding a “normal” bracelet #and a bigger miracle it happened to feature the water trigram #mwah mwah beautiful coincidence #weekend negates demon hours stop snitching

HOB is not part of the comp but knowing Leo and Yuichi they probably snuck in

hehe existing in a world where your greatest fear is real and not realizing it at first

THIS was a cool perspective to draw

bonus featuring @littlemissartemisia and the thinking couch (who are these two losers that just came and sat by her?)

well that’s what you get for sneaking into the @tmntaucompetition when you’re not invited

can you tell that Yuichi’s biggest fear is being abandoned (I got too tired to draw more)

added alt text so you can tell what’s going on

#aw Mikey’s trying to help #he’s not really #but the efforts there #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt head over boots #head over boots #rottmnt yuichi usagi #rottmnt usagi #leosagi #leoichi #rottmnt misa

jonlandman: Just finished the fantastic @danozzi book Sellout and immediately went into the rabbit hole of @thesyndotcom archives. These pics of @mychemicalromance are from our 2002 CMJ Conflict of Interest Party. MCR opened the show that also featured Silvertide and VHS or Beta. 📷: @chickphila

Leo: I was only 16 when the Kraang invaded, we didn't know what to do and it felt like the whole world was our responsibility...and it didn't take long for that to become true

Raph: we were only 16 when Donnie disappeared, it didn't take long after that for Shredder to take over and we were forced into hiding, beginning a resistance against his regime

Mikey: I wasn't even 20 yet when my family died, I went into the mountains to die after that and before then we were fighting a war with the Foot clan that felt unending and often hopeless

Donbot: ....my early 20s were WILD guys

#Donnie is the only one that got to experience his early 20s without the world being awful #not saying he was happy in his early 20s but man were they SOMETHING #a lot of it probably wont be stated in PNBR but im insane and might make a prequel for the guys #pnbr #peepaw nightmare blunt rotation #tmnt au #tmnt #rottmnt #future leonardo #tmnt 2003 #03 raphael #tmnt the last ronin #the last ronin #ronin mikey #tmnt 2012 #2012 donatello #donbot #tmnt donbot

cringe guy who still refers to himself as a malewife years after it was relevant but still manages to burn everything he cooks and gives the worst head of all time

#im fond of him as you can tell #he was an old oc of mine i made in highschool i like the design of but never had anything interesting to do with #i had named him mikey at the time but i dont quite like that but feel something that still ends in -y is fitting. ricky? davey? tony?#he’s in an awful indie band and works at whatever my oc’s universe newberry comics is #just imagine a reigonal chain comic/records/pop culture store #he’s between 26 and 28 in my mind and has a thing for older men much to the annoyance of all of his friends #he’s ‘single’ but has ‘things’ with like eight people but none of it anything very serious

You've mentioned that rarely Swanatello's family is unable to come visit him. What would make it so that they couldn't?

Overall, they're very on top of coming to see Swannie and making sure someone is with him at just about all times, but there have been one or two occasions when things have popped up-- and even then, it's not that the family didn't come to visit him for the day, but rather that they were delayed. Think things along the lines of "X villain is doing something completely fucking batshit and we need all hands on deck to make sure no one dies and get things under control before we can go visit" and/or just simple miscommunication about what the plan is. It should also be noted that they are currently almost entirely reliant on Leo to portal them over to the Lake. If Leo is incapacitated or occupied for whatever reason and can't portal them over... then they can't visit.

#it doesnt happen often but it does happen #and they all always feel awful when it does #but it can be hard making sure that they ALWAYS have at least ONE PERSON with donnie #they'll do it absolutely without question because it's 1000% worth it to make sure donnie is ok #and to get to spend time with him #but its not without its challenges and occasionally they drop the ball a little #despite their best efforts #also almost... all of them have long-term injuries/lasting effects from the invasion still #mikey was gonna go but his hands are spasming really bad today so they send someone else but they have to make sure mikey is okay first #and that its safe to leave him alone #if raph is having a panic attack splinter cant just walk away to go sit with donnie instead until hes sure red is alright #is leo having a panic attack? flashbacks? disassociating? otherwise incapacitated?#well then they cant go visit #it doesnt matter if someone else is good to go #they cant portal over without leo and if hes not able to make a portal then it is what it is #swanatello asks #asks #anon

Have the fresh teens of today stumbled upon ancient My Chemical Romance memes yet?

Found this on my phone from 2011.

#my chemical romance #mikey way #we can’t forget aw pickles either #MCR #this one goes out to all the girlies back in the early 2000s that had black square rimmed glasses to match Mikey Way

POV: You want to join an art challenge for August regarding TMNT but the person hosting it is someone who wrote a Mikey gets adopted by the Rise turtles and you also fear that you doing it would come off as you supporting the creator meaning you support their fanfic that doesn't give any respect to 2012 and makes Mikey look like a damn crybaby and also for some reason calls him Casper and not to mention this person supports Unfamiliar Familiar

#Nah because I feel upset when I don't join an art challenge of sorts #Because I'm either lazy #Don't get in on time #I immediately give up #And other reasons #Or I feel like my drawing will suck because I can't do it #I've tried to do art month challenge thingy's like 2 times #One time in October in 2020 but didn't because I lost motivation and I was really late #And May of this year but immediately gave up afterwords because it felt like it be too much work #And now my new reason I probably won't do this art challenge #Is because the creator supports not only those god awful mikey gets adopted by rise fanfics #But also supports unfamiliar familiar #I feel like this person is rather less negative towards 2012 but I'm probably just being an optimistic idiot #Idk if I do this art challenge it will come off as me supporting things that I don't
