Fanart I scrambled together in one (1) day of that one fic “False AdverPSIsing” by OldeScratch on ao3, which is also inspired by an au created by Bannock-Freak :)

+ some posts I yanked off Clownluvrr on insta and one post from twitter

I commissioned @qoldenskies to draw my au Donny ^-^ (psst if you like rottmnt go check him out he's so fucking good at words)

heyyy

Leo loved Donnie to pieces. It was a mere fact. He loved every bit of his baby twin, from the top of his head down to the flicking tip of his tail.

It was why he was trying very hard to figure out what to say in response to Donnie's pet-project he was so proudly presenting. Especially because it was amazing to see Donnie be proud these days. As shy as he was, fidgeting with his hands and allowing only for a tiny smile, Donnie's chest was puffed. For once, he wasn't curled on himself to try and be small and unnoticeable.

Leo couldn't stand the thought of scaring that bravado away. So he hesitated a long moment before venturing finally, "So, who's this, Donbon?"

"This" being the hulking mass (maybe around, oh... six feet) of greenery currently curling and wafting through the air—which wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a plant, except for the fact that there was no wind making its way through their home.

The stems were also uncomfortably snake-like in their movements so there was that, too.

Donnie's smile grew a bit as he looked on at his... very special plant, taking an outright affectionate edge. "This is Loretta. She's my little Cape sundew."

Leo heard Mikey swallow thickly next to him. "L-little?"

"Yes. That's why she only has a few leaves. But she's been growing more rather quickly��she's very proud of them." From a pocket on his belt, Donnie pulled out a long pair of gloves. He tugged them on, pulling them almost up to his shoulders, before reaching a hand out to one of the waving... tentacle-leaf-things. As he did, he cooed lowly, "Yes, yes, my little dewdrop, such a big girl! Are you gonna have the prettiest flowers ever soon? Yes you are!"

Leo and Mikey watched in shock and mild horror as they all began to drift over to Donnie. The closest one curled slowly around the offered arm. The little hairs(?) flexed and relaxed repetetively as Donnie reached another hand over to pet the long stem in the middle.

"She's very sweet," Donnie explained. "But she's... skittish. She freaked out when she first met the cat. I want to socialize her a bit more, just so she doesn't react as strongly when new things come along."

"Right, right," Leo said stiffly.

"Makes sense," Mikey squeaked out.

"If you look right here, you can see that she has a bit of old growth." Donnie looked back at them with those wide, innocent eyes of his. Leo's stare flickered between them and the browning growth his twin was motioning at. "It's easy to remove—you don't have to do anything special. I usually just snip it off for her when she needs it. Whoever removes the most old stems from her will win the Lair Games, okay?"

Leo and Mikey looked at each other slowly. Looked back at Donnie.

That was... easy. It sounded easy.

Something was terribly wrong.

"That. It? Just remove the dying stuff, baby?" Leo asked as he eyed the mutated, apparently sentient plant. He had so many questions, and not nearly enough will to ask them.

Donnie smiled softly. "Yeah. That's it."

Someone cleared their throat. Both Leo and Mikey jumped at the sound, wound-up and nervous. Everyone looked over to see Raph shuffling on the periphery of their gathered group, holding something in his hands. "I, uh. Got the stuff you asked for, bud," he said meekly, making himself small as he approached Donnie.

Donnie made a small, appreciative noise. He took the object gingerly, from a relatively limp grasp. Raph was too busy appropriately gawking at the massive, twisting plant to pay any mind to the handoff, which made Leo feel a tiny bit better about this whole situation.

"Thank you so much, Raph," Donnie said, shy and earnest. Leo looked over at the sound of his voice and watched as Donnie gently untangled his arm from his plant to pull the plastic wrap off of the... ground beef he had, why did he ask for—

"Here you go, dewdrop," Donnie crooned, and grabbed a chunk of meat with his gloved hands and placed it delicately on the end of one of the hairy leaves.

In contrast to the gentle, wagging movements the plant had been making, the moment Donnie removed his hand, Loretta's leaf basically snapped over itself and squeezed around the beef. The rest of them gaped in horror as the a quiet fizzing—like acid eating away at metal—rang through the air and the food began to. To fucking. Melt? Dissolve??

Donnie smiled at them as it happened. "Sundews are carnivorous," he explained, soft and sweet.

"O-oh, how—" Leo's mouth flapped for a moment as he thought about his twin's gentle pride, and tried to reconcile it with his apparently acid-secreting, carnivorous mutated plant kinda-daughter. "Interesting!"

Donnie's smile grew sharp. Leo's hands jerked back, like he'd pricked himself on a thorn. "Well. Whenever you two are ready."

cc!Donnie referee for Lair Games? Leo and Mikey tie and Splinter lets Don choose the final challenge instead?

they stare at him expectantly because they know he has no malice in his heart these days and he just starts. giggling. not laughing. not even doing that maniacal cackling he does when he's trying to play up a bad idea. he gets an idea and starts giggling like a schoolgirl and their relieved smiles slowly melt into cold full-blown terror

hey guys, the creators of Rise sent me an email and told me I’m the CEO of baja blast duo. Yeah they told me forreal. I’m 100% telling the truth and I know most of you will believe me because you kids these days believe everything you read on the internet

[fluffydice]

Does Donnie like cats? :D

What gave you that idea?

The illustration I did for the second instalment of the @rise-fashion-zine, ft. Donnie and Raph in clothes inspired by their character archetype atypical interests!

splinter passed the fucking Gauntlet of internalized homophobia and self-disgust and shame as he slowly found comfort in solace in the 80s queer community in the wake of his slow falling out with his family just so he could break the cycle for leo at 5 years old to be like "huh,........... i think i might like bouys. awebsome :) wanna see my pokemon card collection" and thats beautiful

[fluffydice]

At last

He has colors

[fluffydice]

You mean to tell me that Rise of the TMNT left off with Raph being unceremoniously dumped from “the leader” role to be replaced by his younger, hotshot brother and left completely directionless…..

AND

Had foot recruit reveal herself as the Casey Jones after she completely turn her back on the organization she dedicated her life to leaving her completely alone and directionless…..

AND

Neither of these two gotta….I don’t know…. Have a bit of a blow up??? Neither got to struggle with those hard, complex emotions by bashing up bad guys and coincidentally running into each other?? Forming the classic Raph—Casey friendship we all know and love because they found someone to be their outlet???? Found someone who understands them???

REALLY???

[fluffydice]

i genuinely love the trope of "character that gets unfairly accused of not caring because their facade makes them seem so nonchalant and unconcerned even though they do care a Whole Lot and they struggle to fight back against that perception of them because it means being vulnerable about it in a way they arent ready for" and i do think its a little sad it got attributed to donnie when it's such a leo thing. like that Is his thing
