imma say it again; Donnie is not only autistic, but such a good representation of it
i went on a long, detailed version of this bc i love my turtles and i REALLY love writing my thoughts out, pls bear with me
special, and I mean SPECIAL interests in what he loves (ex: his technology, like the man literally has his own lab for them). there was an episode where he lost his tech, and it shows how uncomfortable and worried he feels without them bc those were his comfort items and his passion
NOT apathetic -> rise conveys that Donnie has low empathy, where instead of showing no emotions at all, he can seem to be distant or uninterested, yet he just has a difficult time expressing those emotions unless it involves his hobbies and his family
there are a lot more clues into how his autism is so well-done, but i think these are the main signs.
this is proof of his autistic swag, please go vote for him in the autismswagsummit!! go donnie!!
he also shows up in the mad scientist showdown and w/ his brothers in @siblingtournament too btw

Eveytime I see a really good fanfic idea I always get the urge to write it, this is one of those moments.
But alas... I'm too lazy to do so...
Someone please write a fanfic on this so I can at leat read it.
I would've loved if the movie ended with Leo still in the Prison Dimension. Not just because of the angst, but because Leo and Kraang would've been each other's warden.
Because imagine if Leo didn't immediately give up when the portal closed. Imagine if he constantly gave it his all and fought Kraang every second of every day. But neither one was winning.
We could've had Leo and Kraang in a stalemate for months. Raph, Donnie, and Mikey racing against the clock because Leo can't fight forever.
Mikey is only strong enough to open a portal for a few seconds. And, every time he does, he sees the both of them fighting tooth and nail just to overpower the other. Mikey's never seen Leo this intense. This ruthless.
The longer Leo is in the prison dimension, the more ruthless he gets. There's a reason Kraang hasn't been able to kill him yet....
It gets to the point where, unknowing to Raph and Donnie, Mikey questions whether or not Leo should be allowed out of the prison dimension-

This post started out normal and then it evolved into a fanfic idea. I wish I could write good fanfics because I would write the f u c k out of this-
I made this years ago. I have this neat little drawing app on my tablet that comes with loads of stickers I usually don't use. But, when playing aroud with the app, I made this. I hope day I'll be able to draw this from scratch without using any stickers lol. #originalartwork #artistsoninstagram #artistic #nightskyart #originalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zzl3SBPwk/?igshid=1d3o0sgivmjm6
I decided it was probably about time I worked out a proper timeline, for my own sanity more than anything, since some chapters overlap.

With the spirit in the weapon au what happened to them after shredder and since donnie got his Hamato ninpo do they get Hal?
Ahh that's the thing.... in the UK I haven't got access to season 2 😫 (Paramount only had season 1)
I'm loosely aware of their fight with shredder and about their ninpo, but don't know much. I'm trying to avoid spoilers for season 2 (although its been out ages) because I'm hoping ONE DAY I'll be able to watch it.
Have seen the film though lol.
Despite that, I'm pretty sure the other spirits would do anything to get Hal involved eventually, even if he is reluctant about it—though Hal would secretly enjoy the attention.
Hal would basically become some sort lab assistant for Donnie, and since Hal is pretty agreeable and hates causing problems for anyone, he and Donnie would get along quite well—of course Donnie has no idea he's there though, since no one can see the spirits.
That's all I can really say though 😅
Thanks so much for your interest though!!!
This is the first time I've written something so long. I am so excited to see how long this fic is going to be by the time I finish it!
Thank you for all those who have read Prolonged Agony so far, without your support I don't think I would've gotten this far.
He slowly adapts to his new environment, re-familiarise himself with things he had long since forgotten
Story idea info here.
Honestly, Oda doesn't know why he even bothers to mediate knowing that Fundi can't last five minutes without causing some trouble/bothering him.
Tonfa has to use the Tonfas to flip the pages of the comic as the Spirits cannot interact with anything other than the weapons they inhabit.
An aspiring writer who has no idea what she's doing, but that's half the fun ;)
