Tmnt 2012 Donnie - Blog Posts

Y’know Wanda and Vision remind me of a better written April and Donnie. 

Donnie (Vision) are intelligent and polite guys who are learning how to love, while April (Wanda) are red-headed and powerful women who were experimented on. It would be so cool to find fanart of April and Donnie dressed as Vision and Wanda or maybe a Marvel AU with them. If I could imagine adult April x Donnie, I think they would be like the MCU couple. 

Does anyone else think April’s power and backstory is similar to Scarlet Witch’s as much as Jean Grey’s. All three are powerful superhumans and were controlled by an evil force. Their main powers are focused on the mind and levitation. I need fanart of her as Jean Grey and Scarlet Witch, I would do it myself but I can’t draw.

My Version of the Hamato Family

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading and liking part one. It made my day!

So, this is where I shine in writing. I love creating characters and their backstory; it’s so fun. I think it is more important to focus on characters than the plot since a character can create the storyline- well at least for me.

I’m excited to share! Hope you enjoy!

Comment your thoughts! It would be cool to read them! 😁

……………………..

 Leonardo:

We’re starting with the usual leader-in-blue!

Although I adore Leo, his “perfect” personality can get a little boring. His versions usually have flaws, though they are the kind that makes you sympathize with him rather than feeling indifferent like with Raph’s anger issues.

Season 1 Leo would be a toned-down Rise Leo. He can be cocky when he succeeds over his brothers and would jokingly comment how he is Splinter’s favorite. However, it doesn’t come without hard work. Leo trains the most out of his brothers and spends most of his time studying fighting techniques. He is not naturally talented in ninjitsu like the past incarnations. Also, Leo’s motivations for training very hard and wanting to be leader is more for himself than anything.

Compared to his brothers, Leo was relatively average. Donnie was extremely smart, Mikey had his kind and joyful soul, and Raph was naturally a great fighter. Leo felt left out and decided that training to be a hero would be his way of standing out. He also believed that being special like his brothers was the only way to get Splinter’s attention; and it kind of worked. With all the progress Leo made, Splinter praised him, and they had a way to connect.

Around the beginning of S1(maybe ep. 5), Leo became the leader though how was different. Instead of Splinter deciding, the brothers did; the explanation was the turtles were a team and should make a consensus as one. This news made Leo ecstatic; he was finally living his dreams. Even so, he didn’t realize the baggage and responsibility a leader had to shoulder. Over the course of the story Leo grows as a great leader and fighter.

The Karai/Leo subplot will follow the 2003 version. He is convinced that Karai is a good person and tries to have her switch sides. There will be romantic feelings but its not the main motivation for both of their actions. I can’t say too much since this plot revolves around Karai more.

   Donatello:

Donnie is a blend of 2003/12 versions. He is intelligent with an extremely high IQ and was a gifted child. However, his intelligence came with a cost; making connections with his brothers and father was really tough for him because of their different interests. This left him withdrawing from everyone and focusing on his inventions. His social skills evolve once the turtles visit the city and meet April. The increasing danger of the Kraang further builds his relationships since communication is important in teamwork, and Donnie’s talent in inventing grew more in the spotlight.

Because of her fascination with Donnie’s smarts and inventions, April and Donnie become good friends as the story continues. Donnie also gets close with April’s best friend, Irma since they are science lovers. At first, Casey irritates him as they have clearly different personality; Casey’s impulsive and extroverted attitude conflicting with Donnie’s plan-based mindset.

Donnie’s love for his family is showcased after witnessing a terrifying, apocalyptic future where his family suffers. Paranoia sets in. His work to calculate the cause of this terrible, and its solution leads Donnie to rarely take care of his needs. He has to learn to trust in others instead of doing things alone.

 Raphael:

Unlike Leo, Raph is instantly gifted in fighting. He has more physical strength than his brothers and would constantly beat them in practice. Since childhood, Raph was Splinter’s “favorite” in the dojo and that definitely got into the red-banded turtle’s head. He would brag to his brothers and jokingly poke fun at their techniques. It wouldn’t affect anyone. Except for Leo.

Raphael’s ego started taking hits once Leo caught up to him and beating him in practice once in a while. It turned into anger after noticing Master Splinter praising Leo more. The tension soured their brotherhood. Unlike most versions, Raph’s anger is fueled by insecurity. He believes that fighting is the only thing he is good at and will get territorial if his spotlight is threatened.

Throughout the story, he learns to move on from his demons and realize his worth.

Family is important to Raph. He can be hard on his brothers yet will do anything to keep them safe, especially Mikey- his positivity must be protected. Casey and Raph become best friends for their similarities and love for fighting- they are impulsive bros.

 Michelangelo:

Mikey’s role is to be the positive and glue of the team. He loves to make people happy and would always do something goofy or kind to do that. His family have nothing bad to say about their youngest member and are very protective of him. The youngest brother doesn’t take ninjitsu as seriously as skateboarding, dancing, or just general fun. Though, he will be serious when the situation calls for it, such as the fate of his family and the world.

Although being an open ear to anyone, Mikey is not open to expressing his negative emotions due to his fear of damaging the family dynamic. It is noticeable when he is upset because he jokes more often and not focus. A lesson he must learn is to accept the good and the bad. Mikey can be reckless, mostly when his brothers rarely let him participate in missions. He wants to prove to his family that he is strong enough to protect himself and others. Reading people is his best skill and takes great pride in it, usually taking on the role of a therapist.

 Splinter/Hamato Yoshi:

I really wanted to take Splinter’s role in the Shredder’s descent to evil in the grayer area. He is usually the victim/innocent party of the story, which can get boring after a while.

Hamato Yoshi was born as the heir to Hamato Clan and childhood best friend of Oroku Saki. The Hamato and Foot clan were allies for centuries and would usually fight by each other’s side. Matters changed when the Foot’s beliefs grew more sinister. This left the Hamato Clan to eradicate their former ally. Splinter saved Saki before he could be killed, though, it came with consequences. Oroku Saki vowed to exact revenge for his fallen home. Growing up, Splinter became one of the strongest martial artists in Japan and married a woman named Tang Shen, later becoming a father to a girl. His world ended once he saw his clan destroyed and his family killed by the renewed Foot Clan.

Yoshi decided to move to New York and forget his old life. Years later, the martial artist noticed strange people caging defenseless animals. He would fight them long enough to protect four humanoid turtles, deciding to keep them after a moment of compassion. Splinter would continuously fight the strange men until a strange liquid turned him into a rat. This turning point banished Splinter and the turtles to the sewers for protection.

Splinter equally loves his sons. He would always make sure to give them equal amounts of love to avoid lasting issues. Though, he has made some mistakes. Emotions were rarely discussed because of Splinter’s unintentionally withdrawn attitude. The rat master wouldn’t instantly notice problems between his sons, and usually didn’t know how to resolve them. No matter what, Splinter is proud of his children and would do anything to keep them safe; sometimes not realizing that it could hurt them.

Hamato Yoshi’s guilt and trauma over the terrible moments in his life would be the main focus of his development.

Which TMNT 2012 Turtle VA Do You Want to Meet the Most?

I would love to meet every voice actor in TMNT 2012, but if I had to pick the one I want to meet the most, Rob Paulsen would be my pick. I love all of Rob's voice roles like Carl from Jimmy Neutron, Peck from Back at the Barnyard, and especially Donnie. Plus, Rob is such a sweetheart and I just want to give him a big hug.

Greg Cipes is my second pick because I love Beast Boy, Mikey, and Kevin Levin.

Seth Green is my third because of Leo and Monty Monogram.

Sean Astin is last.

2012 Donatello Headcanon

Leo almost dying twice and Splinter’s death effected Donnie more than the others.

*MENTIONS OF BLOOD & DEATH*

This is one of my favorite headcanons I wrote since I really delve into Donnie’s character even if it is not canon.

I came to the conclusion based on something Donnie said in season 5 in the Monster arc. While in a fight, Donnie mentioned that he hated blood. Someone had a headcanon that Splinter’s death was the reason. After getting stabbed and dropped from a building, there would be a lot of blood, but it was censored.

With Leo, Donnie felt like it was his fault his brother almost died the first time because Leo separated from the group after their argument.

I don’t know if I overanalyzed Donnie’s reaction to Leo’s second near death experience. I know the brothers were all there, but Donnie was sort of the medic and was trying to revive Leo. A lot of things must have been going through his head. Like if he does the wrong or no action, Leo will die and it will be his fault. Everyone would be devastated, but Donnie would make it tougher to handle since he will always wonder, “I healed him once, why couldn’t I do it again?” It would eat away at him of what might have been.

Leo survived, but those questions will never stop running through Donnie’s mind.

Splinter’s death had an affect on him because as I mentioned before, Donnie is the medic of the family. Seeing that he couldn’t do anything to save his father, only hug him along with his brothers. For the first few months, Donnie will try to find ways to prevent someone from dying, so he could save any of his loved ones.

Well, that’s it. Can’t believe I wrote so much.

What do you guys think? 😊❤️

Dont mind me throwing 2012 Kendratello context to y'all (Cauze Im a huge 2012 Apritello hater tbh, it was toxic from both sides, its Okay to rewrite it to your liking and shipping it tho, I actually like those kind of Apritello contexts)

...Kendra stole his unitily belt after giving him a kiss on the cheek-

My rewriting of 2012 tmnt's Donnie and April meeting canon 2012 Donnie:

Alright to be honest, I dont hate 2012 tmnt, but the romances in it sucks, I can give Mona and Raph a pass tho (also normaly Donnie's eyes arent blue, I made a mistake on his design lol)

On a side note, my au's April is related to the turtles (she was not born, but made by krang with several different dnas, one of them belonging to the turtles), thats the reason why they're even more disgusted from tmnt 2012 Donnie, they dont know their april isnt related to him

Thats Just my opinion but I think April's relationship with the turtles works the best when its a siblings like relationship and not a romantic one, as an example, tmnt 2003's April view the turtles and splinter like a family and even said that herself, I think her relationship with them was one of the healthiest

•-•

Dona is living in my head rent free and I let her

I love her so much

For @imagionationstation ‘s Dona AU

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

oh casey pining…bc he literally would. Also i have a TikTok now :D username is same as on here, might post more there now not sure yettt

I wish I still had the original tweet that inspired this drawing, cause I know this was a little art trend that was going around for a while at the time- 😭👍✨

Also I'm aware Casey's stance is funny, I've had it pointed out many times- LMAO

(Old Content)

So it seems that the Villain Donnie AU is our winner, followed by Elements and Tokyo Ghoul

Expect more of my evil little guy soon!!

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.

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.

And now some wholesome Donnie ^^

This is the best caption you ever seen

More Caseytello because they make me sick

I thought drawing this way really funny and stupid but I acruallt kinda like how this turned out el oh el don’t mind how absolute cheeks the lighting is behshshshshsjdjdjd

Fucker got an evil space clone can't have SHIT in tmnt 👊😔

Old AU concept I had that I finally turned into something

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them

woe, ms paint donnie be upon ye

wanted to experiment with colors (o゜▽゜)o☆

A very messy "comic" about Donnie, Casey, and their potentially unhealthy codependency on each other- 🖤💜

I'm so sorry for the way this looks, but this week and next week are going to be pretty hectic for me, and I didn't know when I would get to post again-! So I just wanted to finish something before the week began-! 😭👍

I'll definitely do more (And objectively better-) art of this concept in the future, but I really really enjoy the concept of Donnie starting out as the very unhealthily invested one out of the two of them and that behavior kind of imprinting on Casey in a way? Or even if it wasn't imprinting, it's possible that Casey started to mirror these behaviors because of his own insecurities and issues (i.e. Struggling with parental neglect and being abandoned frequently-), not to mention the fact that Donnie made him feel safe to do so- You know what I mean? Which in turn would cause Donnie to begin having this self-reflection or epiphany about their relationship and his role to play in this current dynamic (With the help of Raph, since I feel like he would very bluntly point this out- But out of love, of course-),, Thus leading Donnie to break up with Casey. 😔

But I also like the concept of this breakup, because of the contrasting perspectives both of them have with it. From Donnie's perspective, he's trying to do better and do right by Casey. Donnie now knows / fully understands that enabling this kind of relationship between them was bad, and he's trying to rectify that mistake by giving them both the space and time that they need to heal from any damage that was caused. But from Casey's perspective, he feels like he's being punished for finally having the courage to be vulnerable and let his walls down- For giving in to the security that Donnie provided in this relationship,, it's really sad, but it's also really interesting to think about to me because I hate joy- /j LMAO
