#Mikey is an Iron Woobie

[brightlotusmoon]

Me, in a TMNT Discord:

"Mirage Mikey being manipulated into sex, tricked into thinking the eggs were his, and turning into a POW Space Cowboy without his family still upsets me."

Me, on Tumblr: Wait, can we talk about that? Can we talk about how the events in The Path are a tight thread connecting to The Last Ronin? Can we talk about how Michelangelo has always been The Mascot and the Kiddy Fave and now he's literally the most tragic and heartbreaking? How what if Kevin was remembering POW Mikey as he developed Last Ronin more?

@brightlotusmoon It’s our poor Mikey. I swear it is. Our Mikey that only wants to be loved and finally realizes that he is worthy of it....

They won the battle, but at a price. Donnie isn't feeling stressed, though, because Mikey will be all right. Right? Donnie gradually realizes that when Mikey makes a promise, he keeps it, especially for Donnie.

To 2003 Mikey: I'm with Agent Bishop, please hold still while I experiment on you and extract your hope.

My Blorbo hears: Blah blah blah I love you blah blah so much I want to destroy you on every level blah blah *violent shaking and glee*

@this-world-of-beautiful-monsters has a list of Mikey Angst fics. Mine are on it, obviously. It's a great rabbit hole. Wow, I've gotten more confident with plugging my work.

I recall multiple people asking me for recommendations.

Enjoy your angst, fellow Mikey Whump Lovers.

(hello, precious child, I will break you)

My blorbos: Hi

Me: I love you. I will break you as viciously as I can and put you back together with the most tender care. Angst With A Happy Ending. Angst And Fluff. Break The Cutie.

#mikey is an iron woobie #mikey is a trickster demigod #there's gonna be so much whump

Me, as the large dose of RSO really sets in after I've been vaping high THC concentrate: Yes, a SpongeBob marathon sounds great right now. I have my green tea mochi and a Monster Mango Loco Juice. It's raining.

*cracks neck and knuckles* Tiiime to torment my blorbos and meow meows.

It's TMNT 2003 and 2012, those boys are used to getting the shit beaten out of them, they had to do it to each other on the regular.

Oooooooh, my pain is gone.

I still need to finish the answer to this! It deserves a really good essay.

Me, kindly shouting into a specific fandom void: Look, all I want is more gritty gory hard whump and Hurt/Comfort for 2003 Mikey, and all I want out of that is Leo losing his mind over the Emotional Splash Damage and Casey being the reasonable one.

And there's a tiny voice in the back of my Writerbrain shrieking "I'm working on it, shut up!" but it's still not loud enough. I'm working on that, too.

I just realized that from a certain perspective, they're a lot like Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls. And now I want to find quotes to fit.

Doctor’s confession about Mikey hits hard and now We definitely need to have Donatello talk with mikey about it eventually cause my headcanon Donatello has similar fears and they need to fear bond

OMG brilliant, awesome, spectacular, let's do this.

Also, you made those?

TMNT Entity: Tales of the TMNT (Vol. 2) #9

Splinter takes Mike for a walk down the sewer tunnels to have a serious talk. Splinter says that he recently had a vision of death and it was attached to Mike. He tells Mike that his love and compassion is one of his greatest assets, but that it’s also his greatest weakness. Splinter warns Mike that his enemies will not share in his sense of morality and that he must learn to steel himself so that he can make the hard decisions.

-

I really need to talk about Michelangelo being the heart and moral center of the TMNT. In all iterations. About his inner light and how delicate it actually is. About how his particular perspective, perception, intuition, insight, eccentricity, and optimism sets him on a unique forked path that might lead him away from his family.

But "The Path" always makes me cry. I'll come back to this essay and I will

Dear TMNT Fandom, especially Bayverse fans:

How do you think Bay Donatello got his glasses?

@remmushound and I are doing a RP scene with Bay Donnie, Bay Mikey, and Rise Mikey. The Mikeys are high on pain relief* and Rise Mikey wants to know where Bay Donnie's unique glasses came from and how they got the lenses to correct his eyesight. Be creative. Tell a story.

*some of that is plant based, gummies that Bay Don and Bay Mike made themselves. We're figuring out that whole thing too. Bay Splinter approves, because arthritis in mutant rats is probably terrible even with a mutant healing factor..

This reminds me to take my own pain relief because my face still hurts and also the back of my skull which is tension and cervicogenic-

Aand I think my spiritually inclined Mikey will suffer migraines as a side effect of being able to directly manipulate the energy of other beings, which @remmushound can absolutely use for future fanfic stuffs. I need to figure out how far that ability can reach.

I say his power got triggered when the Rise boys showed up in the first place, woke up more during the cross reality shenanigans, and really started moving after Meat Sweats gave him that concussion with open head wound.

So the power is like neuroplasticity! It's active and like a muscle, or a growing kitten training to be an emotional support animal, living in Mike's brain like a newly formed neural structure, like a whole new sensory system, like interoception and proprioception merging and creating psychic manipulation**. Maybe.

I need to go to neuroscience websites and then cross reference with websites about qigong and healing.

Oh. No wonder Rise Mikey feels so, uh, intense. Good for her gif meme.

***(I totally did this for 2012 but I need to tone it down for Bayverse, so I'm borrowings from my 2003 AU. I have a lot of ideas. Yay painkillers.

Right right. Sorry. ADHD hyperfixations ramble about Autistic special interests. How did Donatello get his glasses?

Mikey. Depression. Leo. Pain. Bottled emotions. White hot explosions of emotional turmoil that implode and scar from the inside. Loss of confidence. Insecurity. Loneliness. AANGST.

"...I just feel out of my depth and kind of helpless,” he shrugged. “This this isn’t some bad guy we can punch, or…or an object to grab, it’s nebulous and it’s inside my brother’s head. It’s inside him, it’s his brain. Raph’s right, how do we fight an enemy like that?”

Sighing, Splinter shook his head and rested his hands on Leo’s shoulders. “First of all, you must stop thinking that there even is an enemy. Disabilities are not a terrible fate, my son. They are part of life. Eventually, most everyone falls ill to a point where it cannot be cured. And a great deal of people acquire permanent disabilities whose syndromes can be well managed all their lives. Many people are born that way. You know this. Life is lived regardless of hindrances. Joy is lived in. We must constantly monitor our perceptions of one another as we grow and move about the world. Every individual has their own feeling of identity. We need to respect how they feel.”

Sitting back but still touching Leo, Splinter smiled softly. “I spoke with Avalyn this morning, while Michelangelo was resting from his seizure. She is quite proud of what and who she is, and I believe she has many things she could teach you.”

Feeling chastised, Leo nodded. Splinter pulled away and folded his hands.

“Michelangelo has always been extremely sensitive and in tune with his environment, and he may be picking up on your doubts. Do not let your concerns cloud your pure love. Help him mitigate his pain, soothe his fears. But do not overwhelm him, do not hover with anxiety that he cannot heal. It’s not your place to try to cure.”

Leo licked his lips, wanting to smack himself. “I mean, there literally is no cure, anyway. Yeah. I feel childish.”

“You have ignorance,” Splinter said. “You lack the information and knowledge. Your own fears caused pain and you stumbled in your quest to understand what’s been happening.”

Anyway, I wrote this to vent frustration over abled folks misunderstanding chronic pain and stuff.
