I Think One Of My Favorite Details That I've Noticed In Rewatching 2012 Again Is That

i think one of my favorite details that i've noticed in rewatching 2012 again is that

Donnie and Leo, in writing, are very similar people who suffer very similar problems, but just different enough that they can't get their heads together on any given problem

Fungus Humungous, Metalhead Rewired, Mutagen man Unleashed, and The Fourfold Trap are good examples of them sharing a lot of behaviorisms and like. how they conflict because of that

They're both obsessive to the point of dysfunction, expect too highly of themselves, untrusting of anything that they perceive as a personal threat to their person (like with Leo and Metalhead, and Donnie and Casey), and worry a lot about doing the right thing

Especially Fungus Humungous, where we see their greatest fears are very similar in conception. At their core, they fear hurting people they care about and that they're horrible people for doing so and being abandoned by said people.

Donnie's fear is shrouded in self esteem issues and conveyed through his relationship with April, and Leo's fear is conveyed through his responsibility as the leader and eldest brother.

Not to mention they were both tasked with being a mentor to someone and had to carry the weight of being responsible for them, and. . . whatever was happening between Donnie and Don Vizioso and Leo and Shredder.

Donatello from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series. He looks at the viewer in pain and exhaustion, but with a smile on his face. He holds a plate, containing his brain, heart, and an eye, the optic nerve of which is still attached to his head. He is crying out of his one remaining eye, while the other empty socket has blood running from it. His chest has an X shaped scar where his heart would be. He is cast in a dark purple to blue shadow, with bright pink to red lighting coming from the top. Behind him is a purple doilie that gives off a darker purple glow.

Full-course Identity

Can you tell I'm not good at drawing blood

Donatello from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He only have a view of his hands, both of which are holding a toaster. His reflection can be seen within it. He stares at his own reflection in stunned shock and silence, tears and drool on his face. His eyes are back and red, similar to the kakugan eyes from Tokyo Ghoul. The background is a glitchy collection of various shades of red.

You ever just draw fanart for your own fic that you haven't even finished writing yet

"Hate. Me...APRIL HATES ME!!!🗣️"

Variants of the demonic April.

Donnie's fear was SO bad, I can't.

Like, it could have been done differently (for example, his fears correspond to the events of Timothy and Kirby's mutation and he would be afraid to hurt April again). Okay, he has a low self-esteem due to their appearance, I get it, but WHY DO THEY SHOW ME THAT HE'S AFRAID THAT SHE'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH CASEY??? Dude, you've had other situations, but are you worried about rejection???

Why are most of tmnt 2012 fan's biggest issue with A Foot Too Big being the Apriltello shit that happened right at the end of the episode and not the fact that we basically just watched Donnie get sexually harassed/assaulted for several minutes

tmnt 2012 teenage mutant ninja turtles tmnt 2012 donnie Like Bigfoot kissing him definitely made him uncomfortable and she did not ask to do that She followed him around constantly and that scene with them on the couch where she feeds him popcorn is even worse if you've watched Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind They even make fun of it in the episode. Raph saying “now you know how April feels” made me especially feel bad for Donnie ESPECIALLY considering his reaction after the fact. That silent acceptance of defeat Shit makes me sad man 🥺 tek talks
