Biblically accurate Michelangelo! Love this guy. What a round little fella. Box turtles are so circle shape.

Box turtles can do this cool thing where they can go all the way into their shell and close the door! Their plastron is hinged in two, so when they retract they can hide their extremities and completely block out predators from getting in at all. They’re also mostly terrestrial, although they do need water to keep themselves well hydrated and partake in the occasional swim. Male box turtles also have bright red eyes, which is pretty neat.

Mikey probably could retract more than the others, but I don’t know if his humanoid limbs would quite fit completely inside his shell post mutation. Even so, good luck landing a hit on this hard scaled and agile little guy!

I added a little color too for some painting practice! Ornate box shells have some really impressive patterns to help them blend into the grasses and leaf litter they call home.

[ 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!

thursdays are meaningful again (magnus protocol)

#babble #im having a good time #purpoesfully avoided like everything possible until listening to it. 0 expectations. big fan of colin and ive worked with alices. id love t #pick apart how in two episodes her verbal approach to work is established but i dont have the spoons. shes not just anti capitalist shes.#shes like a teenager about it. how do i explain that better #complaining and continuing on because the idea of The Great Chain is immutable to her and she comforts herself with platitudes and thinking #of things unseriously? which is normal. not ideal but normal. its a coping mechanism with living under capitalism #and putting sam between her. serious gwen. and colin off like. eating a keyboard and weeping in his spare time. i like it #i wouldnt be surprised if sam and alice broke up because of her unseriousness but i like her so much.ive been her.#she and colin work at the same chain restaurant shes on register colin is a dishwasher and their bond is unbreakable. to me #bit unsure if any of this makes sense. eh.#tmagp

It’s amazing how many walls I’ve hit-

I’ve been trying to imagine a 2012 alternate universe where Donatello was not a part of the Hamato’s lives and ya’ll would be amazed at how impossible it feels to create ANY content in a realistic world where they don’t have a Donatello to provide for them.

Algea garden? Doesn’t seem like it.

TV? Lights? Any working mechanisms? Likely not.

Running electricity or water? VERY likely not.

Classic smoke bombs? Nope.

Vehicles of any sort? Nope.

T-phones or cheesephone? Definitely not.

Access to city cameras or blueprints? Heck nah.

Ability to triangulate positions of their enemies?

Homestly, if Leo could do it, he would be.

Any Kraang/Foot equipment or data at all? Forget about it!

Gliders? Nope. Rocket? Don’t make me laugh. Go-Carts? Nope.

Music player? Nope. Techno-goggles? As if. Laptop? NOPE!

Decoded Secret Messages? You’re kidding, right?

Mutagen tracker? Never gonna happen!

Hot-air balloon disguised as a water tower?! NEVER. HAPPENING!

Any sort of medicanes or cures? In. Their. DREAMS.

Those little things they slip on their hands to scale walls??? Nada!

SERIOUSLY. THESE KIDS WOULDN’T HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE FIRST SEASON WITHOUT HIM. THERE WOULD BE NO HOPE OF SURVIVAL EVEN AGAINST THE KRAANG. THERE DEFINITELY WOULD BE NO 2012TMNT. PERIODT. HE IS THE LITERAL BACKBONE THE FANDOM WILL NEVER TRULY ACKNOWLEDGE.

[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #the prison dimension is horrifying on its own #add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering?#god I can’t imagine how scary that is #Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there #it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo #personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension #so it’s a prison in all ways #but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all…#Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really #because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope.#to smile #nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him #and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual #one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that #should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination #I’m unwell about this family #actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities #but to their relationship to family and love in general #kinda like love languages in a way #Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe #Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind #Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible #and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway #like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home #even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there #and that’s enough

thinking about kieran again... particularly about how i feel like he struggles with a weak sense of self and how him identifying so heavily with ogrepon, (or at least the version of ogrepon he originally knew,) probably helped him stabilize how he saw himself, only to have something he considered so core to his identity essentially ripped away from him. not only that, it was by someone he seemingly wanted to trust and open up to, (which i doubt he does very often.)

i definitely think that the way he's handling things is far from healthy, but i can get why he'd have such an intense reaction to losing something that was so important to him and basically being betrayed by someone he wanted to consider a friend.

#i'm saying this as someone who has also struggled my sense of self and used to use characters to help feel more of a person #basically what i'm is that kieran is autistic-coded as hell and i see bits of myself in him #they aren't the prettiest parts but being a teenager with undiagnosed mental illnesses was never meant to be beautiful #also kieran's autonomy constantly being undermined by the ppl around him is a big fuckin mood #oh and the toxic chain possession theories are making me go 🤔#i can't wait to see how things turn out for him...#at the end of the day i just hope things end well and that florian & kieran can be friends again...#ideally they'd still have a friendly rivalry that helps both of them improve for the better (like may & wally)#pokemon #pkmn scarvio #rival kieran #chara : kieran hinoki #<- kiddo's got an mjverse surname now 😏#(it's from the japanese cypress who's wood is used to create masks for noh theatre performances)#mj.txt #scarvio spoilers #sv dlc spoilers
