Ask Mikey - Tumblr Posts
I'm a menace for my school work, but yeah.
So, you all see how everyone is convinced that Mikey - mainly Rise version but it could fit with the 2012 version too - is a soft babe with a little bit of a gremlin attitude but no more no less? Well, I'm pretty sure he's more of a gremlin than a babe. Man, he is 13 at the start of the series. You can't even begin to imagine how much of a pain in the ass I was when 13 hit me.
I used to do so much bullshit. My friends/family literally had to keep an eye on me every time we went out because I have these magic hands that managed to break everything I touched, no matter how damn hard they were.
My point is that Mikey is a natural disaster. Figures. But if he and his family were wearing tennis, boots or whatever shoes you like to put them on, and for script convenience they happened to be white, Mikey would get out of the blue, full speed to his siblings - yep, April is in the middle too - and stomp on their shoes as hard and fast as he can, screaming for his brothers not to do the same to him, even when he obviously deserves it.
Gosh, Mikey will be a hell of a nightmare. Imagine Leo just got his new pair of white super cool tennis shoes. He is super excited and is taking as much care of them as he can, rambling about how comfy and awesome they are to a so-done Donnie when out of nowhere he senses The Danger, The Imbalance in Force. Donnie feels it too and gets out of the room in a matter of seconds. Through the whole lair, a battle scream is heard. And out of the corner: BOOM; Savage Mikey Is On The Game, Babe!
We can tell that was the end of Leo's perfect, awesome, cool white shoes, and the start of one grand fight of Leo chasing Mikey, who is doing his best to hide behind Raph while laughing at full force as Raph tries to get Leo to not kill Mikey.
It could even be part of the lair games: "Last one with the cleanest shoes wins!" And even if Mikey doesn't win, he does get his brothers running all around trying to stay away from him and failing miserably.
If you didn't chase your friends to stomp on their new clean shoes, did you even have a childhood?
