Mikey paints his shell
Painting turtle shells is really bad for turtle due to their porous shells. When their shells are painted, Turtles absorb all the toxins from the paint, are unable to properly sunbathe and regulate body temperature, and it can cause respiratory issues and the feeling of suffocating. All of that plus it can stunt a turtle’s growth.
So i have a little head cannon that Michelangelo paints his own shell because it looks super cool- and then he’s always so sick afterwards and has no idea why he’s constantly getting worse and sicker and sicker after painting the sistine chapel on himself. (That’s also why he’s short lmao) But i feel like even if he did find out painting his shell was bad for him he wouldn’t stop. He gets attention finally because he’s halfway dead and he’s like “its called going out in style” but I’m pretty sure it counts as a form of SH, Mikey.
infact im 100 percent sure he wouldn’t give a damn if painting his shell killed him, i bet he would love that because he has no self preservation instinct.
Michelangelo’s lack of self preservation is seriously concerning. Like during his second fight with Kluh he just lets himself get beat the fuck up until Kluh threatens to kill Michelangelo’s family. Like he basically goes limp and let’s Kluh break him into itty bitty pieces. He knew Kluh wanted to kill him, and he was seriously just gonna let that happen while his entire family watched, and that’s pretty sick and twisted. Like it’s great he cares about his family or whatever but he was stupid, masochistic, and sewerslidal during that fight or something. Maybe he was like “yeah, everyone’s right, they’ve always been right. It was luck that i won, I’m not a real champion. I’m nothing. Guess i’ll die.”
And nobody in his family is like “hey dude why did you take like half an hour and wait for all of your bones to be broken until you actually started to fight back?”
Like cmon you guys what the shell. Wow this got really off topic, huh?
