so is this a good circuit? or are there unnecessary things or am i missing things?
(to be clear i want to power a arduino micro 2 servo's and 12 led's does not have to be from 1 battery)

any help would be appreciated.

No.
Motors should not be on Vcc. They need their own power rail.
can you please show me a example?
Google will show you examples, but beware of "Instuctables" -- most are junk.

Is your supply really a 9V battery? If so its competely inadequate for powering servos. If it isn't really
a 9V battery you've demonstrated yet again that fritzing is usually confusing and unhelpful compared to
a proper hand drawn circuit. 2 servos suggests needing a supply of perhaps 2A capability.
Sharing 5V between servos and the microcontroller is not a good idea - keep logic chips' supply voltage
clean and free from drop-outs and inductive spikes and they tend to work reliably rather than reseting
and crashing out.
so can anyone maybe draw me a circuit or show me a circuit becous i don't realy get it....
sorry for the trouble
All you need to do, is remove the +5v wire between the Arduino and the Regulator.
Then take the battery +9v and connect it to the Arduinos Vin pin.
The Ardunio then uses its own onboard regulator and leaves just the servo/s on the 5v regulaltor.
However a few things to note /check -
Your diagram shows +5v and 0v being fed to pins 5 and 6, think you need to check that they are correct.
Though it will work, as already said, if using a small 9v battery it will not last long, because the one shown does not have much power and the regulators use a good bit of current themselves, so using a cheap Buck regulator and bigger 9v battery will be better.
Budget 1A per servo - let me repeat: a 9V battery is not adequate at all for even one servo.
The typical 5V regulator is 1A rated. That means you should provide a 5V 2A supply direct for the
servos, or a 8V or so 2A supply to two individual 5V regulators, each feeding one of the servos.
A good power source for servos is an RC "receiver pack" which are 6V packs designed to drive
RC receivers and several servos.
