hc; I always believed that Donnie held a lot of guilt after Leo was hurt so badly he slipped into a coma. Berating himself constantly that if he had simply listened Leo would be okay, not even able to go back into the bathroom because of the overwhelming guilt.
Which is also why he had so much pent up aggression that was taken out on Casey, also because Casey aggravates him but he doesn’t normally ‘brawl’ with Casey and so that’s why.
After Leo wakes up, he constantly worries about his well being and not wanting to have push too hard. Even making him medicine to try and help him heal faster (we all saw how that turned out) and even greatly distressed when Leo has to face the Creep alone.
It’s also why he doesn’t argue as heavily with him, save for with Don Vizioso because of the danger his own life was put in. I feel that is also a way to try and prevent Leo from doing something alone again as well as get vengeance on the man that nearly killed him.
TL:DR; Donnie feels guilt and becomes a bit more protective over Leo’s well being.
I have this one tmnt 2012 AU that I made fairly recently that I already have little sketches for but can't post publicly yet bc I want to get the ref sheets out of the way first :(
Tbh even I don't know what episode this is from. I just like his face
Donnie, child, sweetheart, your face is always doing things isn’t it?
He’s never okay or normal I love it 😭🤣
OKAY deep thoughts, so- ARE THOSE BONES- okay, okay, we have human remains that’s chill (it’s not), so AT FIRST I was thinking that it was The Crypt of Dracula but Donnie has his hat on in that and he’s not wearing it now so!!! It has to be another episode.
Brown background + bones = in a cave?
They’re in a cave-like thing in Eyes of The Chimera- NO!! NO IT’S THE NEST!! THE NEST HAS BONES IN IT!
The episode is Eyes of the Chimera when they’re in the nest! :D
Donnie is wigging out at the idea of being eaten and making faces ☠️
Something I had to get out of my system- LMAO
I wanted to draw so much more,, Maybe I will later? Idk- I juggle so many things at the same time,, 💀
Honestly I've seen a lot of "12 Donnie is afraid of rise Donnie" but for once I just really wanna see "rise Donnie is afraid of 12 Donnie and doesn't know how to deal with it"
:D!!!!!
I'm so happy these little goobies left such an impact on you I love these little guys so much,, hehehehe
So me and @teks-emporium have been experimenting with the idea of A Journey To The Center Of Mikey’s Mind, but it’s the mind of our favorite purple masked big-brained teen instead!
We got to the topic of who might be found in Donnie’s subconscious and finally have a pretty solid idea of who’s running the show.
Introducing: Our Goobers 💜 (Art by @teks-emporium)
Brainy Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Opinionated about everything
Knows that he’s the smartest person in the room at all times and isn’t afraid to drop constant reminders
Usually holding objects (tool, beaker, blueprint) that changes every time someone looks at him
Randomly spouts big words
Gets easily distracted by whatever he’s holding
Never seen without Curious Donnie nearby
Curious Donnie: (Most visible in The Creeping Doom)
Oldest personality trait
Carried around in Brainy’s labcoat pocket
Acts like a child (giggling/touching things/climbing people)
Only asks questions, and once he starts, he has trouble stopping
Never seen without Brainy Donnie nearby
Needy Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Hovers around his brothers from the second they enter
Most comfortable with Mikey out of all the brothers
Timid and awkward, always trying to do things for others
Jumpy/hopeful in demeanor (puppy waiting to be kicked)
Can’t stand negativity addressed at him/others
Absolute People Pleaser
Romantic Donnie: (Seen throughout Series)
Newest personality trait that none of the others like (but he is the youngest so he gets away with alot)
Constantly making every conversation about April
Plotting ways to make her happy with every other breath
Random bouts of swooning
Is an absolute bundle of enthusiasm and joy that cannot be phased or squashed by anything until The Power Inside of Her.
Anxiety Donnie: (Seen Throughout Series)
Ex: In Dreams/Fungus Humongus/Revenge of the Triceratons
An constant nervous wreck
Always freaking out about something
Only other expressed emotion is anger (getting angry makes him huge but being angry doesn’t last long)
Tends to have more influence on decisions than Brainy and Ninja, despite them trying to take the lead
Personification of Body Dysmorphia
Ninja Donnie: (Most visible in Heart Of Evil)
Blank expression/white eyes/negative vibes
Stalks around the background
Doesn’t like Leo or Mikey but randomly appears next to Raph (scaring him multiple times)
Very violence-oriented, especially when science is involved
Doesn’t like being overruled or disagreed with
Makes all the others uncomfortable
The Living Example Of Intrusive Thoughts
Goober Fun Facts:
The subconscious is a gray room covered in tech. The main monitors and consol sits in plain sight shadowing the room. The room is empty unless the traits are using something, in which case whatever they’re doing exists. The door to the imagination looks like Donnie’s lab door and stands off to the side.
Inner Donnie (aka the One True Donnie) struggles to keep up with all of them and tends to get overwhelmed, especially by Romantic and Anxiety, who never let up
Anxiety is basically the second-in-command despite being the least stable trait in the group
All the traits have teamed up at one time or another to run things
Ninja gets the least amount of time in control because they’re all afraid of what he might do, but he’s also their defensive capabilities, so they instinctively trust him to keep them safe
Romantic is SUPPOSE to get the second least amount of control but he always finds his way back to the control panel
Curious and Romantic are the happiest goobers. Unfortunately, they’re also the least respected. They tend to be shuffled off to the side, but they never stay quiet for long
