Mikey Goes To Oz

<Time spent: 49 hours 17 minutes>

When Mikey takes some time away from a loud family squabble he accidentally ends up getting “flushed” down the sewers. This winds up sending him to the colorful land of Oz where he meets a good witch, a wicked witch, a brainless scarecrow, a heartless Tinman, a cowardess lion, and a powerful wizard, all disguised behind very familiar faces.

A canon adjacent spin off set before the season one finale but after they discover Splinter is Lou Jitsu

I wanted to fit each of the boys into their “you’ve had this all along” category. Leo isn’t brainless, in fact he’s pretty clever with a street smart, people reading ability on par with Donnie’s intelligence. Donnie isn’t heartless, he just has a tough time expressing his feelings. They are complex and unalgorithic but he can get just as excited or sad or angry as anyone, as much as he may deny it. Raph isn’t a coward, but being brave sometimes means admitting you’re scared and that you maybe don’t have all the answers. You dont have to be strong all the time and you don’t have to do it by yourself.

In the movie Dorothy’s journey home is also a representation of her running away. The important thing was to remember there were people who cared about her. Mikey is experiencing a similar phenomenon, wanting the escape the bad vibes in the lair. His “you’ve had it all along” is interesting because it is an object, since the Ruby kneepads could’ve taken him home the whole time. And sometimes getting home means going on a journey only to realize you never left.

I put April as Glinda because Glinda appears as a defender of the weak, and I see April in a similar light. Always willing to help and beat someone up if it is so required. Splinter as The Wizard of Oz represents Splinters own willingness to hide behind different personas, his running from the past and the pulling back of the curtain for Mikey in timeline. The Wizard grows through the movie, albeit quickly, and ends up leaving Oz to go home leaving his legacy with the scarecrow, the Tinman, and the lion. In this case the passing of the baton to his sons.

Meanwhile Draxum as the wicked witch felt much more how Mikey sees Draxum at this time in the show, mostly just an antagonistic force who wants something from them. Fun fact: I imagine throughout this dream, Draxum is uninterested in being the wicked witch but is pressed into it via plot. Hence his disinterest in being “melted.”

Additional characters not pictured: Big Mama as the Wicked Witch of the East (those were her Ruby kneepads!!) and Todd as the Mayor of Munchkin Land. If you can think of more, feel free to leave them in the comments or tags.

Sleep, marking, home

Sleep (what is the most comforting thing about night time): it's quiet, there's nobody around to bother me. I'm a passionate night owl and I love the sounds of bats, tree frogs, and owls.

Marking (tattoos): on my right arm starting at the shoulder,I have a tattoo of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. Scarborough Faire is one of my most favorite folk songs. Then a blue triskelion of 7s, mjolnir right below it. Both are inside the herbs which are laid out in criss cross formation. Below all that are Cardinals perched on a limb, one red and one pink, laid out in criss cross formation under the herbs. They're grandma bird and grandpa bird. Underneath that is the phrase "I'm Alive" written in my grandma's handwriting. That phrase is super important to me because my grandmother read the Last Unicorn to me as a child. We also watched the movie religiously, and the chorus to the opening theme is "I'm alive". I was able to get a sample of my grandmother's handwriting on a note she wrote to me after her car accident.

On my left forearm below the elbow is Sherlock Holmes... Going to get it fixed or covered up and moved elsewhere soon.

On my ankles on the inside are Hugnin (thought) and Munnin (memory) Odin's Ravens. They're drawn almost tribal looking. They cover scars.

On the outside of my ankles are running trees/forest guardians/green men/tree people/ents. The left one is dead and grayscale, the right is alive and colorful. These also cover scars

I have a couple more tattoos planned out, but that's for another day.

Home: the type of environment I feel safest in it's a quiet one. Calm. With a view of all the stars.

Worked on this lovely forest last night, it was a solid start. @maxwelldean117 I’m sorry for stabbing you a million times. Usually I’m nicer about it- can’t wait for this to heal and get you back in to finish what we started. - 03 Round Liner, 07 Mag Shader. Power set to 5 and 4 respectively. He sat well, we watched #infinitywar while knocking out what we did. Next up Freki and Greki, Hugnin and Munnin, and the All Father himself, Odin, in the forest. Enjoy folks! - #tattoo #tattoos #ink #forest #foresttattoo #inktherapy #black #trees #projects #landscape #norse #norsemythology #norsetattoo #halfsleevetattoo (at Eclectic Ink & Artistry)
