#donnie tmnt 2012

[imagionationstation]

If Donnie would stop looking so lost at every given second, I might have an easier time studying the other characters, but as it is, I can’t stop looking at him because this boy looks like an infant experiencing the world for the first time or a creature who lost all his brain cells to the void. Background Donnie has not a thought behind his eyes.

One example being:

1st pic: Season one, ep 3 and 2nd pic: Season four, ep 8.

It’s also the exact face that he makes when he’s the main character in season three, but his brain cells are all decomposing at once.

Oh, Donnie. You are not fooling anyone with your mask of maturity.

You have always been that innocent, lost soul deep down.

how do you think rottmnt and tmnt2012 would interact with eachother? (art request)

Disaster twins WHO? THEY are the real twins 👯/j

He was flabbergasted

Listen i don't like 2012! April nor her ship w/ donnie but i feel kinda bad cuz it's not her fault that the writters suck at writting female characters and romance 😭

U thought it would be all sillyness??? Well u were WRONG *projects my insecurities into them projects my insecurities into them projects my insecurities into them projects my insecurities into them*

They both needed that hug and that validation of their feelings

I feel like even thought 2012!raph is older (i think?) Rise!raph sees his younger self a lot in him, around the time he still hadnt learned to manage his emotions due to the fear of hurting his family with his size and spikes, 2012!raph didn't have that factor in his life, he isnt the older brother who feels completely responsable of his brothers safety just because he's "suposed" to cuz of his age and role, neither is he the leader and he doesnt have physical aspects that could harm them if he was not careful enough so it was more of a slow path for him than for rise!raph who just didnt have any other choice than to learn to take control of his anger

Today on the Mikey Is Not Abused news

Research shows that 78% of the “Poor Mikey” fanclub claims that Mikey is incapable of standing up for himself, whether that be because he fears further abuse, fears his brothers in general, suffers from intense depression, an abuse sort of conditioning, or *insert other incredulous views here* (Statistics may not be entirely accurate and should be used with caution).

Unfortunately for them, Mikey does knows how to stand up for himself and it has been shown that he can speak his mind to even the main abuser, Raphael, and walk away unscathed.

Astonishing claim, I know, but the facts prove themselves.

Mikey has brought up beliefs on several occasions, but his lack of awareness outside his own mind often disproves his own claims.

Years of leprechauns, cream cheese demons, and certainty in cupcake uprisings have worn down his brothers’ trust in his word on many different subjects. This is not his brothers ignoring him out of spite. This is merely because he has proven himself to be an unreliable source when it comes to reality.

His lack of interest in taking most battles and training sessions seriously grate on his brothers’ nerves and often lead them to doubt his prowess and abilities on the field. Mikey being the youngest and earning all of their must protect with life instincts doesn’t exactly help his case. He knowingly brings much of their wrath upon himself- with tauntings, and purposefully infuriating acts, and the constant reappearance of Dr. Prankenstein.

When Mikey doesn’t go gun-hoe or call Raph out for a whack on the head, it’s probably because he’s conscious enough to know he likely said/did something stupid, or because he purposefully did something annoying.

However, if he sees an injustice affect another by his brothers’ hand, he will be the first one to stand up and correct it.

Mikey is proven to be more likely to speak his mind when it comes to others around him getting retribution that he deems underserved.

IN FACT, a few of the only times fans actually see an aggressive argument/challenge poised to a brother is to Raphael, often in regards to his crass judgement.

Take Fourfold Trap as an example:

“I got the answer for you! Karai’s a lost cause!”

“Don’t say that, dude!”

Mikey shoves at Raph’s shoulder to make him face him and they both begin yelling/bickering/roughly gesturing. Mikey is in no way scared of how Raph will react to this and is immediate in getting physically aggressive and speaking his mind.

Not normally how someone who’s been abused all their life would act towards the main abuser, I think. Not convincing enough?

Well, The Curse of Savanti Romero is another:

In it, Renet is seen admitting to her mistake of letting Romero loose. Raph responds by immediately coming down on her for it, even though she understands and regrets her mistake.

Mikey has zero hesitations about jumping into the picture.

“You really are the worst time traveler ever! The worst!”

“Back off, bro! She needs our help!”

Psychology of most abusers would not point to this kind of situation going well. If this were the case- in no universe would Raphael have relented under his brother’s glare and stepped away, especially not after being shoved and yelled at in front of someone outside the family. That would be seen as a calling for punishment.

Moving away would be letting the abused assert dominance and think that they’ve gotten away with a win.

If this were really an abusive relationship, then Raphael would have had a far more violent reaction to his youngest brother butting in.

Instead, he growled, glared, and then relented. He could tell this was not an issue that could be further challenged. Mikey was standing his ground, intensely meeting his glare, and so Raph stepped away.

Now, have there been times where Mikey felt like he was left out or being ignored and that made him feel insecure?

Yes. Absolutely. Mikey Gets Shellacne is a prime example.

But, have the abusers, his older brothers, been made to share similar feelings of being unable to rely on their brothers at one time or another? Perhaps due to his direct or indirect actions? Why, yes.

Because, as hard as it is to believe, every person in that family has made mistakes when dealing with another family member. Relationships are hard. Not one person, or mutant, is perfect, and facing or accepting insecurities is always a fact of growing up.

Is this to say Mikey never stands up for himself?

No. Not even close.

Is it ever portrayed as something big and dramatic as a focal point of an episode? No. Because it doesn’t need to be.

If Mikey holding onto resentment and depression from how his brother abuse him was meant to be part of his character, it would have been a plot point in the episode where they’re literally in his brain. There would have been the slightest hint of something going on somewhere in that chaotic realm.

Instead, Mikey’s brain welcomed all of his brother with open arms.

And the true, inner Mikey runs ecstatically toward his brothers and into Leo’s open arms for snuggles, no more scared of his brothers inside his mind than outside of it.

The only time that he has thoughts of “my brothers are so mean to me I should run away” is the episode The Croaking, where he takes accountability and has the realization that his brothers aren’t the jerks that he thought they were when he ran off…

“Dude. Your brothers sound awesome.”

“Yeah. They are… Even after I trashed the house.”

Mikey doesn’t often react violently to his brother’s teasing because there’s not a reason too. He understands that his brother’s pick on him, but in reality, he picks on them too. It’s not a big enough deal to point out unless an evil planet is letting Angry Mikey consume all of his thoughts and then everything is terrible.

Mikey can stand up for himself. Mikey will always stand up for others.

i just wanna say this was probably one of the better space eps in the show like I enjoyed these turtle boys fighting each other; got to be hella entertaining

"I... it wasn't your fault, Donnie. Technically, you did convinced the Pulverizer to leave the Foot, but we asked him to stay so he can gather more intels".

"You what?".

Unfortunately, Donnie doesn't think that's a good enough justification for his childhood friend disciple to be, well, pulverized. 😔

Did someone say 2012 Mutant apocalypse redesigns?

Don’t get me wrong, the OG ones are pretty okay (especially Raph and Donnie’s) but I could never really get into Mikey and Leo’s haha. So, because I’d already done a bit of redesign on the 2012 boys to make them biblically accurate, I thought, heck, why not convert those same designs into the apocalypse versions!
