I got reccomended a 'Battat Rollin' Lion Animal on toy with wooden handle'
Toby really said "all your headcanons about Tenna and the Mike Squad are true" huh?
How the fuck does "traumatized teen boy with a tooth gap and a large nose x flower related girl with pigtails, ft. their third wheel friend (not dating anyone but. integral to the group dynamic) who's a tiny black boy" fit TWO ships I have.
You know what I find interesting about the majority of people’s headspace designs of the Mike system, myself included?
Vito, Manitoba, Chester and Svetlana will have all sorta of lovely outfits, shapes, tones. But Mal will usually be the only one who physically indentical to Mike and is rocking some sort of hoodie. I guess since he impersonated him in the show, most of us see him as some kind of twin? IDK, just something I picked up.
Ah yes, the two types of systems:
The Blitzwing Transformers Animated, who has alters who each have uniquely distinct appearances to the point of barely looking like the same person but are named after adjectives that describe their personality/powers in one word
And the Mike Total Drama, who has alters who have actual distinct names that still suit their personalities but all look the exact same but with different hairstyles even in headspace
(Helps that I like to headcanon Blitzwing having a very vivid and elaborate headspace where “everything is beautiful and nothing hurts” given how he’s been implied to be the creative type meanwhile Mike’s headspace canonically just looks like the inside of his brain)
As much canon it is as a Mock-Reality TV that uses diegetic cameras to have recordings of someone's headspace is at least-
I bet given the faces of the 3 hosts, Icy, Hothead, and Random would probably have their own bot looks, ones that match the altmodes they prefer; Icy of course sporting a jet (either a larger Cybertronian jet in comparison to Private's or the Earth jet he scans), Hothead with his tank, and Random being closer to the body's appearance as jet AND tank given that no one else claims it and HE was the one to convince Icy and Hothead to scan both Earth alts. And idk, maybe they also got their flash of colour where purple would be on Blitzwing's body, just to make them further appear different. I think it was the disagreement on altmode scanning that makes the system seem MORE like a system than as 3 exaggerated moods of the one guy, but they work well enough together to probably all be co-hosts of another-
The Mike Squad however... I do so adore how each of them has a personality and are considered to be very real (excluding their mistreatment in All-Stars and how Mal was handled), but like the only one that vaguely had their own look was Vito and that was only really because the body slicked their hair back and the terrifying implications that being shirtless triggers an alter to front. I mean, wouldn't it have been so cool to see Svetlana rocking a whole gymnast look? To have Chester be fully decked out in grandpa gear with a wrinkly face to match? Surely Manitoba would look much snazzier with a full Indiana Johns meets Crocodile Dundee outfit?
Part of me just thinks this is a(n unintentional) spoof of how Reality TV is a little scripted here and there, since though this wasn't the first time we the audience (and the audience of the in-universe show of Total Drama) get to see inside the contestants heads, it's certainly just... a LOT of headspace footage that would be unable to record plus the system's body just dressing and/or fronting as each alter-
God I wanna just try and draw up both systems alter's full appearance, Mike Squad might be easier because they all (seem to) present as humans but at least Blitzwing has some faces to reference for the hosting trio- can't promise anything but... haha!
The Veterans When Selecting Their Squads
Levi: they must be able to make the best decision with what little is known
Hange: they must be intrigued in learning about the titans above all else
Mike: Just Tall and Beautiful
i cant get over the idea that everyones michaels all know each other and live together and chaos ensues and-
Nanaba being a badass
