I Just Have To Ask. What Are Your Thoughts About Donnie In Sweaters And Hoodies? Because I Have Many

I just have to ask. What are your thoughts about Donnie in sweaters and hoodies? Because I have many opinions and headcanons about him. U_U

As an individual who lives in jackets and sweaters because my reptilian blood does not allow me to ever feel warmth, yes.

Yes. My thoughts are just: Yes.

Every time Donnie has the option to dress up, he uses sleeves:

Mazes and Mutants = long cloak

Vision Quest = sleeves over his shoulder

The Crypt of Dracula = brown cloak

Now it’s not conclusive evidence, but again, this is my headcanon. This is my silly assumptions based on what I know and what I want to be true (bias!) based off my own judgements.

A lot of my headcanons about this backlash onto the Dona AU, where I make them all completely canon. For the series, however…

It’s scientifically proven that less mass = less heat and considering that they are turtles, Fall weather would be absolutely freezing for this svelte boy. There is no way that the sewers aren’t cold at night.

My personal headcanon is that we don’t see him wearing them because the brothers don’t wear clothes on a night-to-night basis. Nobody would blink if I slipped on a hoodie or put on a sweater in the middle of the day, but his brothers would notice because that’s not common. Putting on a jacket would mean admitting a sort of weakness and risking brotherly teasing.

Donnie already knows that his frame makes him physically weaker than his brothers. That’s why he makes up for it with his brain.

He can’t risk something else highlighting this. There’s no reason to give them something else to concentrate on, another thing to remind them of the difference between them.

He doesn’t put anything on unless one of his brothers do first.

(This stubbornness has backfired into illness far too often.)

Mmm, and that’s pretty much it! Thanks for Asking!
