Yay! ‘Bug Busters’ pleased me with some belated budding conflict, but it’s still not enough so I’ll keep it up with my fan fiction until I can.
This comic is kinda of a canon compliant for Mikey’s weird behaviour in “Mrs. Cuddles”: if it is really canon that sweet, supportive, adorable Mikey can act like a lil prick as well, then cool, I’m gonna roll with it and address to the consequences of his actions,since the cartoon does not.
Also, regarding what Don says about himself- feel free to read it as him being just socially awkward or autistic- it’s vague on purpose because that hc is a spectrum to me and I love both ends.
And now, let me do something self-indulgent:
In the previous episode: Donatello and Michelangelo had no idea Raph was bottling up his negative feelings.
In the next episode: during his night stroll, Raph makes a new friend and finds out something about himself.
