always happy about the fact that in 2012, mikey often asked donnie questions if he didn't understand something and donnie always answered no matter what
this can be seen in a bunch of episodes but my favorite example of it it's the one in half shell heroes where mikey is extremely excited to be in the museums and is the one actively asking donnie questions about the exhibits they saw and also actively listening to donnie's explanation (before raph got silly lmao). he was very excited to learn!!!
And while it's true that mikey would lose interest quite fast if the explanation got too lengthy with too many technical terms, it doesn't change the fact that he does retain the info donnie is always rambling on about different things!!! (even if mikey himself doesn't notice he's doing it lol) and also i find it very sweet that no matter if donnie himself got annoyed, donnie would always answer the questions. no matter what. he would always try to explain if he didn't understand something
This is prob because mikey is the one brother who is often seeking out donnie to pass time around him Meaning that donnie might have used mikey as his rubber ducky whenever mikey hangs out with him while he's working (explained him a lot of his experiments and theories while trying to solve them himself and in this way mikey also learnt in the process WHILE spending time with his brother! win win!)
it also helps donnie because accompanies him while not letting him get lonely in his lab 24/7, sometimes explaining things to someone makes it better to understand it yourself AND it's shown in the comics that donnie is quite used to his brothers just Living as background noise and literally cannot function without it lmao
They are literally the two smart kids in the family even if none of them notice it and it's all because mikey looks up to his brother and is like an sponge with donnie around. donnie is actively teaching mikey and mikey is learning! even if they have no idea they are doing it
We as a fandom do not talk enough about Luke in the Sea of Monsters. Like, what do you mean that one of the first things he did after running away from camp was go and buy a whole new wardrobe with his great- grandpa’s money? And it was probably some of the sluttiest clothes that a male antagonist could wear? "He looked like he had walked right off of the runway"??
You can tell that he was trying to cope with the trauma through retail therapy ( I do the same)! He was fighting every single one of his demons but still made sure to look good. If he was going to "⚔️Slay⚔️" that didn’t mean that he couldn’t "✨Slay 😌💅✨". Purely iconic behavior 😌
I don't think there's anything wrong with liking Kusuke - I do too, he's an interesting character - but I keep coming across people who genuinely seem to think there's nothing grim about him which is like???
Yes, he did buy a house for his family, but he also riddled it with cameras (at least I assume so, judging by how he's often shown watching them on a screen).
Yes, he made Kusuo his limiters, but he also added a feature that made it impossible for Kusuo to refuse his games without his powers being exposed.
Every act of love is also a grab for control. Yeah, he isn't completely and utterly evil, but nobody is.
once again i was fueled with coffee (did not sleep the whole night) but this time i doodled college au to cope bc ofc i did (also did not feel like sleeping wooo)
