Some old-ish TD portraits (+ bonus sketch n stuff)! My take on some of the characters:
Can you do Svetlana and Lightning? I want the athletes that speak in third person to interact with each other.
I think Svetlana is just about as competitive as Lightning (and Jo), but she’s playful and whimsical and having a good time whereas the other two are more “if you beat me at something I will hunt you down” type people
hi total drama fandom i am an average Mike/Mike’s System enjoyer :))))))))
On a Total Drama Kick and honestly Revenge of the Island might be my favourite season.
Can you guys stop doing this shit please
They will not stop
back with the duo ever tbh
oh mal u3u
On the topic of my last drawing I started thinking about how stressful and scary Mike's life must be considering he's a teenager dealing with being a system. This is coming from someone who's also the host of a teenage system, so I really feel for Mike and empathize with him. He's a kid, and from experience, no one really tells you how to cope with being a system. And being a closeted system is even harder, pretending to be a single person is extremely difficult, especially when you're so different like Mike's alters are
It's not easy to deal with, especially with amnesia, and as we can see in the show he really struggles with trying to handle it and stresses about the consequences of his alter's actions. He blames himself as the host for what they do, even though he can't really do much about it. His relationships are strained and even his interactions with his own alters turn aggressive, as both him and his alters feel like they aren't being treated fairly. Mike feels like his alters are ruining his life and messing eveything up, while his alters aren't allowed to be themselves and obviously hate pretending to be Mike. As Mike finally learns to cope and work with his system rather than against it, his alters decide only he can be the host, even outside of Mike being the "original" alter
On a similar note, Mike generally has no special qualities or quirks outside of his alters, and I feel like Mike knows this. All of his alters have something special about them that sets then apart from him, but Mike is just normal. Of course, his alters agree that he's the best out of them and the best choice for being the host, and I do agree with that. Mike being normal is a good thing when it comes to having to act "normal" around others. But I think this would really weigh on him before learning to cope, along with his amnesia and needing to mask.
When Mal kept everyone else from fronting, Mike panicked. Going from having multiple people to help you and keep you safe to having no one and being on your own is really scary, and I think that's something singlets really can't understand. Mike was left to handle everything on his own and absolutely would get overloaded with it. Losing Svetlana and Manitoba would probably be the hardest to deal with, considering Svetlana is physically the strongest of the system and Manitoba has a lot of skills and intuition. Along with that, Chester is sort of the backbone of the system and has his knowledge, and Vito has his confidence and fearlessness. Suddenly losing all of that, I don't think Mike would really know what to do or how to just be himself
Where am I going with this? Idk, I just think Mike and his system are interesting and have the potential for a lot of depth
october means that it's time for halloween posting
Continuing my system ramblings by saying that actually, I don't think Mike's system is that bad of system rep. Erasing his alters was insanely ableist I'll admit, but that's also technically a thing that does happen called system-wide integration. Fresh TV just didn't portray it correctly
And Mal also isn't that bad compared to some persecutors we've had. Him being portrayed as an "evil alter" is also ableist, but there are persecutors that are like that. Mal doesn't try to hurt the body and even helps other people he would normally ignore, like Zoey, to keep up his act of pretending to be Mike. That's a real thing that persecutors have to do.
So while I'm not 100% happy with how Mike and his system were portrayed and Fresh could've done better, they absolutely could've done worse. I do really like Mike's character prior to Mal coming back and I think it portrays a lot of the struggles of being a system, and being a teenage system as well
This is just coming from a system who's so tired of getting absolutely no system representation at all, so Mike is better than nothing and he wasn't done that bad (mostly prior to all stars)
Hahaha whaat? No, of course this is part of the OTP challenge. Don’t be so absurd…
where is all the mike angst hiding
the mike system 😌
First part in my series of Making Mike & Co’s System Journal. This is typically something systems do so I thought id make something like this for them :)
crappy mike and co images because i got bullied into posting them
The fact that Mike is canonically of italian descent but does not have any kind of accent yet Vito has an over-the-top stereotypical italian accent is so fucking funny if you think about it. Dude has a whole alter specifically for the Italian Part of his brain lmao
Actually on a more serious thought though, the implications of Vito's entire existence are very dark. Alter whos trigger to fronting is getting his shirt (usually forcibly) removed.. yeah. What if Vito is so stereotypically italian because thats what in traumatized little Mike's mind was what he thought a man should be while he was enduring sexual trauma. Sexy, confident guy who is proud of his heritage that knows women want him are like those kinds of men are in shows are like. It was his way of coping and justifying what was happening to him and thus, Vito was born
