Since the bros keep everything attached to their bodies like their vocal cords, do they swap neurodivergencies too or to those follow their brains to the respective host?

I like the idea of them keeping their respective neurodivergencies, even though the other way around has potential. So Donnie is still autistic, Raph still has anxiety/anger issues, Mikey and Leo still have their own brands of ADHD, etc, but now they have to learn to adapt their habits to completely different bodies.

Like imagine Raph getting angry (or even going savage) in Donnie's body; any other day, Donnie getting angry would be intimidating, but they all know Raph has zero clue how to do any kind of strong-arming in his body and it's hilarious

Or Mikey being a bull in a china shop with his off-the-wall energy and impulsivity combined with Raph's size/strength. He would quickly realize being the biggest ain't all it's cracked up to be, especially when he can't hold anything without snapping it into pieces the second he tightens his grip by accident

Leo would be in the same boat by taking full advantage of Mikey's mystic powers and officially becoming A Menace, but would find out just how physically/mentally taxing it can be. He would also be trying so many different battle moves now that he's in a smaller, more flexible, infinitely energetic body

Donnie would have the hardest time, having to deal with what I imagine would be a sensory nightmare. Everything he comes into contact with feels wrong because he's in the wrong body, but luckily the adjustment period wouldn't take too long before he could function somewhat normally (out of everyone he got the closest approximation to his old body, so that really helped).

rottmnt / tmnt and sexualization. 😬

a rant

tw: mentions of pedophilia and CP

It is absolutely crazy and unethical how easy it is to find NSFW art or writing without trying for any variety of TMMT, especially ROTTMNT.

TEENAGE mutant ninja turtles. TEENAGE. CHILDREN. MINORS.

Very unfriendly reminder that drawn or written CP is still CP and it is still illegal.

And don’t EVEN with the ‘teenagers are sexually active anyways 🤓.’ I DON’T GIVE A FUCK. That is true, HOWEVER, if said teenagers were to have photos, videos, or detailed writings of their sexual activity distributed (EVEN IF ITS SOLO) it is still ILLEGAL because they are minors. They as teenagers and any adults/people who KNOWINGLY consumed this media could get in very serious legal trouble.

I understand also being a teenager. Your hormones are all over the place and you’re still discovering and exploring what you’re into. It’s ok and normal to fantasize and think about fictional characters who are around your age.

KEEP. IT. TO. YOURSELF.

^ This point above does NOT include grown ass adults who partake in the making or consumption of NSFW media of the brothers or April as teenagers. There is absolutely NO excuse or ANYTHING to make it valid or ok in any form. It is still PORN centered around a MINOR. It is still pedophilia. Get mental help. *COUGH* NICO HAMATO *COUGH*

Don’t EVEN get me started on the nasty ass fucking TCEST shit because that’s a whole other post to be made.

Obviously, this does not include or pertain to the Future! Turtles or April. If you really must, it is SO easy to age up characters (as long as you are VIEWING THEM AS/MAKING THEM LOOK OLDER and NOT just making them 18+ so you don’t get called out.)

If you don’t agree with this post, my blog is NOT for you. Don’t argue with me in the replies or dms, just block me.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Casey Junior Rant {long post}

I love every Casey to the brim almost equally, but the one that wins the tie is definitely Rise Casey Junior. He is my boy and I love him very much, I wish he could live so much happier but I also feel super stressed or upset when people who make fics abt the aftermath of the movie and have him just move on and hardly do anything.

This boy has hardly talked to kids his age before and watched so many of his family members die. He doesn’t get to move on that easy!!!!!

On another note, it’s not that I’m mad about Jr having to go to school in these fics, it’s just that they write it out where he’s excited for school. He’s never been in a stable building that wasn’t built by Uncle Tello! My boy needs to be in there because there was no one else to teach him things he doesn’t already know!!

(In my canon) Everyone except April was homeschooled, even Cass and Jr, there needs to be more representation on his fear and anxiety when he’s around people that aren’t part of his family—or even better!! He needs to be anxious when he’s actually with them too!

On another note, please give this baby comfort and the resources to heal.

Then shove the pain back into his face.

He’s my favorite character, but he’s also my favorite character. (And a teenage boy) He can’t just be ignored! He needs his angsty times too!

Momentarily, I’m gonna praise myself with my idea of having the bean literally ask 0 questions when he sees the teenage version of his dead father who he hasn’t seen in 2-3 years and his immediate reaction is asking for a hug. And then he gets it!!!! He gets his hug, and then falls asleep, and while he’s sleeping his dads go through a sweet banter-y scene that would have happened when he was a child too.

IN CONCLUSION

He lives in constant deja-vu now that he entered a new timeline, don’t play it down for him.

He’s a teenager who watched the world die once, then went back in time to watch it almost happen again. Everything is painful to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for reading my rant <3

Why I Think Not Giving Donnie A Mystic Weapon Was A Good Choice

There are many practices in the ROTMNT fandom, and one of the many arguments is over the mystic weapon offered to Donatello in the very first episode. Of course, he doesn’t take it and its never brought up again, seeming to just be a little gag. But I believe this moment tells us a lot about Donnie’s ninpo.

Unlike his brothers, Donnie doesn’t have a clear ability throughout most of the show. He mainly does things through his tech, afraid of what would happen if it was forgotten about and replaced with magic. He eventually integrates mystics into his work. Eventually his ability is revealed to be just this: being able to effortlessly combine magic and tech.

My theory is that he’s always been able to do this. That his powers appeared years before his brothers. And that he didn’t take the conduit for his powers because he already built one himself.

Haven’t you noticed how Donnie’s tech always appeared advanced and even supernatural? Yes, this could be explained by a natural genius and a special interest in machines that bred hard work and creativity, spawning these amazing contraptions. But its so specifically made to fit the magic of his brothers and enemies that I believe this was caused by an early hatching of his ninpo. And haven’t you noticed the purple glow coming from many of these creations? Maybe the reason that he never needed the weapon offered to him to conduit his power because his bō was working fine.

The reason I am going out and saying this is because people are claiming that Donnie has the least amount or weakest magic from all of his brothers. The fact is that, according to my theory, he has magic even equatable to Mikey’s, the actual mystical lord of the family.

Anyway, thank you for reading my essay, and I do hope you have a great day.

[i-just-needed-a-place-to-ramble]

Okay I have to say that it bothers me immensely how this fandom treats the Donnie’s Gifts episode.

Specifically the shock collar.

I know, I know, it’s an incredibly old topic that’s like poking a sleeping bear to bring up again, but if you may feel the same I do, then hear me out.

On one side, we have people who see it as Donnie being deliberately cruel and actively wishing to control his brother through force if need be.

On the other side, we have people who see it as something good, and poor Donnie didn’t mean to hurt Leo! He didn’t mean for his gift to cause harm! He just wanted to create something to make Leo focus more, he just doesn’t understand that what he did was bad! But it’s okay because he doesn’t get it!

Both these readings suck, in my opinion, though one I see more often than the other.

Now, I love Donnie, I do, he’s so, so fun and interesting and a fantastic character…but the shock collar was an incredibly messed up thing to make. Obviously, he loves his brothers, and he just wanted the best for them, but it was still an objectively awful thing to do to your brother. (Don’t get me wrong, Mikey and Raph’s gifts were also not great, but let’s focus on the collar.)

See, making a collar like that, and having your brother wear it, knowing what it does…that’s not a good thing. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t get to explain it first. It doesn’t matter if it was meant to help Leo in the long run. That ‘help’ is forcing Leo to endure painful shocks until he’s conditioned to, what, pay attention? (And that’s a funny thought, considering it was the shocks that distracted him in the first place.)

Good intentions don’t automatically make things okay.

There’s also an admittedly ableist tone to the reading of Donnie simply being let off the hook because he “doesn’t understand why it’s bad.” That’s- that’s so infantilizing. Donnie is more than capable of knowing when he messes up! And he did mess up here! I hate when people use his autism as an excuse, it feels so ableist to me. Just let him own up to it and apologize! He’s not a bad guy, and it’s okay for characters to mess up! So long as they own up to it! Donnie’s a person too, and he has flaws, let him own them, please.

However, this is not to say that Donnie is evil or abusive for doing this, not at all. While he should not be absolved of guilt, he clearly isn’t intending for his gifts to come off the way they had, and he clearly made them out of concern for his brothers. It’s understandable that he would go about it the wrong way - it’s just not okay that he did. And what he did warrants an apology to the others, especially Leo, even if they themselves shook it off.

So, yeah. The shock collar is incredibly messed up. It was painful enough to affect Meat Sweats- and Leo had it around his neck. It’s a comedy, so I know we gotta take these things with a grain of salt, but whenever I see this episode tackled in a more serious way, it almost always either 1) makes Donnie out to be the Worst, as though we aren’t constantly shown him caring immensely for his brothers, or 2), admittedly more prevalently and annoyingly, it chooses to focus on how sad and misunderstood Donnie is, rather than the very real harm he caused. Like. LEO IS THE ONE WHO HAD A SHOCK COLLAR ON HIM. Put there by HIS OWN BROTHER. And no one cares about that??? Leo’s pain is dismissed??? Donnie’s feelings matter more??? What????

I think that’s what gets me most here, honestly. Not that Donnie is presented as evil, or innocent, but that Leo’s experience doesn’t matter in comparison to Donnie’s reactions to it. It leaves a horrible taste in my mouth to see time and time again.

Again. It doesn’t matter what the intentions were. It also doesn’t automatically make Donnie abusive or evil.

But it was a shock collar, made to hurt, made to correct, and if you look at it outside of the comedic lens it was established in…it’s not okay.

Donnie’s not a bad person, and he’s actually a pretty great brother, a hero in his own right…but he really messed up here.

And that’s okay to admit.

[my-name-is-bunnyfoxy]

The way Rise Donnie's actions are easily excused and just forgotten in the show and fandom concerns me so much. Especially how easily he is forgiven. Not to mention how he gets little to no consequences at all. He is always left off the hook easily.

Someone also mentioned how Raph tends to baby Donnie a lot, along with Mikey. Which is also probably the reason why he hardly gets ANY consequences to begin with.

Like, I don't think Donnie is a terrible brother or a bad person at all, however, the things Donnie has done are at best just really bad. And this also upsets me a lot. Especially because Donnie, as we all know, is cannonly autistic.

And it genuinely upsets me how he is portrayed as someone who is aggressive and someone to be scared of. Don't get me even STARTED on the fanon version of Donnie. Oh god do I hate fannon rise Donnie. People portray him as an asshole and or a jerk or someone with almost NO FEELINGS at all. Which is yet again another harmful stereotype of autistic people. Yeah sure, there are some autistic people who do behave this way, but this comes off as a blatant stereotype to some who are autistic.

Like I'm not autistic, but this still concerns me. The portrayal of Rise Donnie is incredibly disgusting and ableist as hell.

I'm sorry if I sound aggressive but, I'm just really angry at the people who being blatantly ableist towards Donnie.

Not to mention how people act as if Donnie doesn't care about his family or he is an emotionless asshole. Listen, Donnie might not have the best intentions at heart but he still does care about his family. While yeah many will point out he has low empathy but still though. He is trying his best. However though, I feel like we should still call out on some of the things Donnie has done. I really hope that if the show picks up again, if Donnie does something bad, he won't be babied, he won't be treated like a god or whatever, instead he will be properly called out and receive the consequences he deserves.

If you want please add onto this or feel free to correct or contradict some of the stuff I said. I really wanna hear your thoughts on this.

Plus I highly ask those who are on the autism spectrum to please tell me if I got somrthing wrong or if there is something I should correct.

Slash - We Need to Talk

YEEESSS! I finally get to talk about my boy, Slash! (I apologize that it took so long.)

Now, as you can already tell, my favorite iteration of Slash was TMNT 2012, but what if he was in Rise?

I've played with this idea of bringing fresh takes on older characters before, specifically with Venus, here, here, and here, but I never got around to talking about Slash.

To recap: After Season 3 of Rise of TMNT was canceled and the movie came out, the creators talked about introducing two new turtle characters who, just like the main four, were experiments of Draxum, but were lost in the explosion and never found by Splinter. I'm in the camp that says Venus and Slash were those two lost babies.

Now, how exactly would that play out....

Slash's Origin

This was a bit hard to figure out on my part, especially since my and everyone else's ideas for Venus' story have at least some similarities and are actually hinted at in the show.

We can take him working for Big Mama off the table. Throughout his numerous incarnations, the most consistent trait he has is his height and bulkiness. He towers over everyone, and the assissin isn't nearly that tall.

We can also cross off him being an alien like the comics or Rachael's pet turned sentient mutant like the 2012 show.

So if Big Mama, Draxum, Splinter, or Raphael didn't raise him, who did?

Well, maybe gang members.

Think about it: There's plenty of yokai street thugs or thieves guilds in the show. It wouldn't be too out there to think that he could've been sold off or taken in by criminals. You could bring back the Mighty Mutanimals as well. A fierce, notorious gang whose goal is underground domination.

And it would make perfect sense for his character. Unlike the boys, Slash would've grown up molded by violence and the "You vs. Me" mentality: his staple characteristics.

It defines his character perfectly, but it would also help bring more depth to his personality.

Slash's Personality

Borrowing from the 2012 show a bit, Slash is a more complex person than he appears.

He enjoys fighting, especially when blood is spilled, but he isn't entirely a violent murder machine.

The senseless violence is drawn from a sense of inferiority. As someone who started from the very bottom in his thug "family" as the weakling, he's risen to the top and can't let himself fall down again.

For reference, think Bass from Mega Man. A guy who actively gets in the way of others, even those on his side, to prove he's the best. Although, you could say that Slash is more calculating. He adores being the center of attention, but he can work on the sidelines if he has to, especially if it means that he can hijack the mission and take the glory for himself.

He's a lot like Leo in that regard, with his ego blinding him. But unlike Leo, Slash has no one to bring him back down to earth. He chases his highs, throwing caution into the wind.

However, while he revels in the attention, deep down, he knows that it might not last forever. He knows how fickle his leaders and everyone around him are. He can't let them discard him. Abandon him. Not again. So he works tirelessly to impress them, to prove he is the best. This is all he has in the world. If he loses that, what will become of him?

He's used to the world being frightened of him. He shouldn't expect compassion or kindness from anyone. The world is a dark, unforgiving place that eats up the weak so the strong can thrive. That's his outlook, and there's no changing it.

Buuuuuutttt, after shenanigans, character development, and several reality checks happen, Slash eventually breaks away from the gang and becomes much more humble and appreciative of life.

He still enjoys fighting, but he's mellowed out.

I doubt that he'd live with his brothers full time since he's more of a loner type, but there's always a place for him at home. And he'd be glad to work alongside them, should they need more muscle.

But if you want to go for a more tragic ending or a parallel to Venus, Leo, or even Raph in a way, Slash doesn't change, and his thirst for power becomes his downfall. They mourn him, of course, as the sibling who couldn't be saved, but they use his tale as a lesson of what paranoia, self-centeredness, and anger can do to someone once it consumes you.

It is a very depressing storyline, but an interesting one to explore, nonetheless. Plus, this fandom is used to tragedy, right?

Relationships

My favorite section!

Now, Slash would most likely be older than Raphael, maybe even April. I see him as one of Draxum's earliest test subjects, which I'll get to in a minute. For now, let's start with immediate family members.

Raphael:

It would not be a pleasant meeting for sure. In my interpretation, they are two sides of the same coin.

They both have anger issues.

They're both intimidating to look at at first glance.

They both enjoy the thrill of battle.

They're both insecure.

However, they are opposites.

Raph's temper stems from the desire to protect his family at all costs. He uses his size and strength to help people, and he knows how to reel himself back from doing significant damage when it's unnecessary. He's a pillar of justice.

Slash, however, only uses his advantages to hurt anyone who crosses his path and to keep up his reputation as a dangerous criminal. Everyone, except maybe a select few of his fellow gang members, is disposable to him. They're collateral damage. And it isn't until he loses everything that he even considers looking from a different perspective.

Raph would only see him as someone who he needs to protect his brothers from, even after he learns that Slash is related to them. The same could be said for Slash. He didn't have family before, and he doesn't need them now.

If the redemption arc follows through, then Raph would still be wary of his older brother at first. He's not used to having an older sibling figure (aside from April, of course) to rely on. Slash would need time to adjust to being an older brother.

It's a very awkward time overall, but they find their rhythm eventually.

Leonardo

Similar to Raph, Leo might find a rival in Slash, too.

Again, they are alike in many aspects.

Leo is egotistical and flamboyant, striving to be the best of the best. But Slash turns that notch up to 100.

They both take slights against them very personally. I mean, come on! Leo still complains about Draxum throwing him off a roof.

Especially now that Leo is the leader and has learned more humility, seeing how Slash acts and views the people around him, it's a more extreme reflection of who Leo used to be.

He would want to keep the group as far away from Slash as possible unless he has something of use. Unlike Raph, he'd be willing to work with him if he has information or something of value, as reluctant as he would be.

After character development, Leo would still not want to hang around Slash that much. He doesn't hate him, and he may be able to crack a few jokes here and there with him, but he can't bring himself to trust him yet.

That being said, once they become more comfortable around each other and learn that they have a surprising amount in common, they'll start to bond and get along just fine.

Donatello

This would be one of the few times he actually agrees with both Raph AND Leo on. This dude is bad news.

As much as he hates to admit it, he feels uneasy around Slash. Especially after the countless fights they had with him, which almost all of them could have ended with him or his brothers getting killed more times than he'd want to analyze.

Slash's whole MO is striking down the physically weak, and while Donnie is by no means fragile, I guarantee that Slash would remark about Donnie "hiding behind his gadgets," so to speak. Perhaps commenting about his soft shell.

It takes Donnie an impressively long time to get used to Slash if he chooses to change. A part of him just can't bring himself to welcome him to the family.

Biologically related or not, Slash nearly killed/severely injured them all, called out Donnie's insecurities, and unlike Draxum, who at the very least appreciates Donnie's technology, Slash doesn't care for it and sees his inventions as "handicaps." They have little in common. What else is there to say?

Slash will have to prove himself and adopt a more gentle demeanor if he wants to get on Donnie's good side. If he ever gets there, they might bond over silly things. Maybe they share a passion for dance or video games?

It'll be a long road before they get there, though. That's for sure.

Michaelangelo

Take this as a more developed version of Draxum's character arc in the show.

Mikey is always willing to give people second chances. But his trust and sympathy for Slash would form slowly over a period of time.

After Slash has lost everything, whether that be from the brothers finally defeating the Mutanimals or the gang themselves kicking Slash out for whatever reason, he wanders the world alone, thinking about what to do and where to go next.

Mikey, after finally convincing Raph to let him scout out the city by himself or something along those lines, he finds Slash repeatedly over the course of a few episodes: the equivalent of a few weeks or months in their universe.

During their accidental meetings, they end up being forced to help each other in some way. Maybe another villain traps them, or something larger is at play.

In any case, these episodes would help them form a connection of sorts. They work out their differences and establish a brotherly bond as a result.

As much as Mikey tries to encourage Slash to come home with him, Slash can't bring himself to trust himself or the others yet. That, and he doesn't want Mikey to get in trouble, should anyone find out about them becoming friends.

I'm not sure if Mikey could finally convince Slash to come with him, or if one way or another someone finds out and alerts the others, but it's not a pleasant surprise regardless.

The family would be, understandably, very worried for Mikey's safety and well-being, and would definitely argue with him about his choice to keep his kindling brotherly relationship under wraps.

After the whole debacle is over, however, and Slash has earned a modicum of trust within the group, perhaps saving Mikey or someone else, Mikey serves as the mediator between the family and Slash.

He tries to help others understand that Slash was used and looked at as a weapon his entire life. He doesn't know or understand the true meaning of family.

Mikey is actively trying to help Slash connect with others. It won't be easy, but the word "impossible" isn't in Mikey's dictionary.

Splinter

Another one he failed to save.

A parent should never hate their child, and Splinter doesn't. Not really. If anything, he hates himself for not saving Slash and giving him the home he deserves.

But at the same time, he can't love Slash. Not yet, at least.

He hurt so many people and wasn't sorry about it. But that's how he was raised. He didn't grow up with compassion or care, only violence and torture.

Once Mikey asserts to Splinter that Slash means no harm, he'd be willing to warm up to Slash. Though, unlike Venus, Slash is a lot more frustrating to work with.

There will be vulnerable moments. Angst will be seen, I can tell you that right now.

Slash never had a definitive father figure in his life, often bouncing along from person to person. So, having someone stable and constant in his life is new and scary, and he doesn't know what to do with it.

He'll get used to it eventually, and over time, he'll learn to appreciate Splinter's attempts to bond with him.

Venus

These two are at the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Night and day. Push and pull.

While both of them are the lost children of their father, Venus' home life was much different than Slash's.

Venus grew up with an actual parental guardian. A cold, snarky, and standoffish guardian, but she had one nonetheless. This quiet and strict environment caused her to become quiet herself, almost mute, and a bit socially awkward. Moreover, while she is very mindful of the thoughts and feelings of the people around her, she is somewhat naive about the world due to her sheltered upbringing.

Slash, on the other hand, is loud, abrasive, and couldn't care less about anyone's feelings. He's seen the horrors of the world, but he's ignorant to its calm and serene side. He had no real figure in his life to guide him down the straighter, narrow path and wound up the way he is as a result.

Venus sees him as vulgar, conceded, and a threat to her family's well-being. She just found her place amongst a loving, warm family. She refuses to lose that to the likes of him.

Slash sees her as an uptight, mousy little witch who he constantly underestimates. He later learns that her lack of arms won't stop her from kicking his sorry a-!

-ANYWAY! The bottom line is that they absolutely despised each other. And even after Slash becomes more present in their lives, they still don't get along.

Don't get Venus wrong. She doesn't hold grudges nearly as much as her brothers, but after everything Slash did to them and his overall bad attitude, she can't find it in her heart to fully trust him yet.

She mostly just avoids him and speaks to him with a cold formalness if they ever cross paths. Much to Slash's annoyance.

It doesn't last forever, though. Slash finds her easier to talk to aside from Mikey.

Venus learns to enjoy Slash's candor and battle-hearty spirit. While Slash learns to like Venus' peaceful and gentle nature.

They are opposites, but sometimes you need that to grow and expand your horizons.

Mask Color and Weapons?

I talked about this in my first Venus post, but the more I thought about it, there's no need to change his mask. Black suits him well.

If anything, I could add that making Venus' mask white would be a neat idea to highlight their contrasting personalities. And maybe to use that as a callback to that stupid Yin and Yang symbol she had. Even though it's a CHINESE SYMBOL. Yet another reason why The Next Mutation was awful.

As for weapons, as a guild member, he'd probably have a bunch of weapons. Knives, brass or claw knuckles, bombs, you know, the works.

However, his main weapon would be his mace. This thing:

It looks cool, it's imposing, it's spiky, what's not to love about it?

What Type of Turtle Would He Be?

Considering that Raph is an alligator snapping turtle, one of the largest turtles in the world, I had to get creative.

He had to be big, and he had to be spiky. So, I looked to see if there were any different types of snapping turtles. And lo and behold! I found it!

The Suwanee Snapping Turtle.

A large freshwater turtle, found in one of the scariest places in the world: Florida.

Honestly, with Slash being of the same genus as Raph, the parallels I thought about would work almost too well.

In conclusion:

Slash could be just as interesting a character as the others if given the respect and appreciation that he deserves.

I feel bad for him, honestly. Most people theorize that the two turtles that were planned to be in Season 3 were Venus and Jennika. And I haven't seen anyone comment about Slash being a possibility. He's been completely left in the dust.

And yeah, I contributed to that by taking so long to talk about this, but I hope my discussion here will bring Slash back in the spotlight.

Goodnight everybody!

Risetober Prompt 28: Kids

Yeah I don’t think he knew exactly what do with the child to starting off communal parenting, Raph if he was around at the time would give him lessons but ey who knows maybe he did?

Technically in my mind Raph would have died when Leo lost his arm (same incident but I like thinking of it as the one gruesome demogorgon mauling from Stranger Things V.2, or I’ve seen some fics of Leo being kidnapped and experimented on and losing his arm that way which I think is cool) but idk I find it makes him distinct from the 2 armed child

SEVEN SEASONS!?

The crew had seven seasons planned for Rise.

Even getting a guaranteed three seasons would’ve been a blessing but Nickelodeon and Viacom had to screw the series over

#rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #teenage mutant ninja turtles #hope the makers get other chances to make absolute banger content in the future #whelp I’m adding more to my fic series idea out of spite and love #tmnt rant #rottmnt rant #just frustrated by the industry not giving things a chance #Nick and Disney are on a list

Ahhh, sorry minor thing (has to do with your body swap comic) just thinking about the Mikey sensory overload bit. I saw this thread on it talking about his sensory issues and it hasn't left my mind since. It basically was a bunch of clips showcasing those issues in the show so seeing it in a comic is such a woah moment. Basically I was just curious on your thoughts on it.

yooo there's a whole thread about it? i haven't seen that but now i really want to omg if anybody has the link or something lmk

ok anyways rant under the cut lets go

I have a Few Thoughts about the bros and their neurodivergencies, both the ones headcanoned by fans and the ones actually confirmed

And these are the two main confirmed ones from the writer/producer of the show! Donnie's was a given just by observing how he's characterized in the show, and Mikey's became obvious once you recognize how hyper and impulsive he can be sometimes.

That one scene in Donnie's Gifts perfectly encapsulates how his brain works for me, where he forgot to mention a famous chef turned into a pig mutant live on television because he wanted to make sure the food he was making at the time turned out right and literally just forgot about the whole ordeal right after lmao

I'll be honest, a lot of the characteristics of ADHD he exhibits for me are mostly personal headcanons since I never took much notice of how his actions in the show can be recontextualized with the knowledge he's neurodivergent, but the one thing I DID notice is how often he goes into his shell.

Obviously it's a box turtle thing, his species is more inclined to hide in their shell since the carapace can actually close fully, making it a viable survival tactic. And with ADHD, I imagine any kind of unpleasant sensation or a sensory overload would trigger this escape mechanism, since being in his shell is equated with safety and control for him. It keeps the Bad Vibes out and lets him recenter himself

As for what would cause a sensory overload for him I have no clue, maybe it wouldn't be anything specific and I don't want to just project my own sensory issues onto him so I shall leave that open ended for now.

Though I do imagine food would be a big thing for him. It seems like one of his bigger special interests, so I'd find it to be an interesting dilemma for him to have a limited palate despite his interest in cooking. He would definitely make it a personal mission to experiment and try as many things as possible just for the chance to find new stuff he finds enjoyable, but in the process end up finding out a bunch of other foods are practically inedible for him.

If anyone has other thoughts on this feel free to add them, I love these kinds of discussions on character analyses and trying to see how their neurodivergencies are portrayed within the context of the show :]

#i also headcanon leo as being adhd just in a different font #and raph as innatentive adhd with just a touch of autism #they all just give me that vibe idk why #rottmnt #rottmnt rant #rottmnt mikey #asks open

so i was going over my frame by frame images that I have stored in my files as you do

and I decided to pay attention to raph inside these projections and I saw this

you see that?

raph gets punched in the same spot, like he has the knockback in his face as well

he felt the hit

i always imagined that the hits his projections got, he felt it the same way u would inside a vehicle if it got hit. but here it seems he feels the punch in the same spot his projection got hit.

so now imma go with he feels the pain inflicted on his projections, even the multiple ones he made during the final shredder fight

so lets look at the times raphs projections got hit and imagine Raph feeling that pain hm?

his arm got ripped off

his other arm got ripped off

dude rips off his shoulder as well like his arm wasn't enough

eesh

ok so most of my ss of raph are not of his projections

im also still collecting frames from the movie

pretty excited to finish ive noticed alot of cool stuff and a few animation errors as well

i ha ve a problem

well since im lazy to go get photos imma recall some moments

at the end of the movie raphs projection shatters after crashing when saving donnie and mikey

his arm got portal chopped

all his projections got detroyed by shreddder in the final fight and they were skewred too

uhh

while writing everything i know i had more in my head but I'm tired

yea im blanking

I feel I'm gonna become the most controversial person in the entire ROTTMNT fandom for saying this and several Donnie kinnies or fans or simps are gonna come after me and try to murder me but... This has to be said...

I don't like Rise Donnie and he is my least favorite character and even least favorite Donnie in general. I still like him, I don't really think I hate him or anything but... Sometimes I wanna rip his battle shell off and attack his damn softshell ass.
