[imsoquarky]

Donatello Hamato

Donnie, Dee, Donald, Purple, BootyyyShaker9000, Othello Von Ryan, etc etc.

Refs For The Others: Mikey, Leo, Raph

Height Chart

He's here! Keep in mind majority of the aspects of his appearance are personal headcanons (And sometimes projections-)

The flags included are: Demiboy & Asexual

Other headcanons:

Doesn't sleep because they don't want to, not really because he can't.

Takes baths when he's feeling overwhelmed or just needs the silence and sensory rejuvenation.

Bites, hard. (Splinter has a scar from him as a toddler)

If he's watching someone else play a game and they aren't doing it his way, he'll point out how they're "wrong", they were a lot worse about it when they were younger.

Broke their nose testing out the first version of their battle shell because the spider legs threw them into the ground.

Doesn't believe in twin telepathy, but sometimes reconsiders his stance on it. He'll never admit it, of course.

Learned ASL, then worked out a way to speak it with only 3 fingers to help themself and Leo through non-verbal episodes.

Has listened to true crime, and knows a little too much about how to hide a body.

While most of Leo's stims tend to be verbal, most of Donnie's are physical. ♠️ - ♣️ - ♥️ - ♦️

There is a height chart I will post after everyone is revealed!

HC for Donnie Helping Reader Out with Astronomy Stuff (platonic)

Author’s Note: An indulgent little snippet. I’m rather interested in astronomy, and over the break I was given the privilege of taking the school telescope home with me to try out. I have no clue what I was thinking, since I’ve never operated a telescope before and I’m a total amateur. Last night, I spent hours trying to figure the thing out with a friend, however the instructions were worthless, and the Internet wasn’t helpful either. So, instead of wallowing in my terrible mood, I shall write!

Keep in mind that I live in the middle of nowhere, and seeing the stars is easy where I am because there is so little light pollution. I’ve also lived right next to a big city before, and the stars were essentially non-existent. If you want to look at the stars through a telescope, do your research! And because it’s very important, NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH A TELESCOPE. Permanent eye damage will ensue.

Before he arrived, you already set everything up the way you thought it was supposed to be. The instructions told you to let the telescope cool down to the outside temperature, so you did.

It wasn’t just cold though; you were shivering from head to toe. Hot beverages have been made. And coffee, especially coffee. Stargazing is best done in the early hours of the morning after all.

The instruction manuals were all unorganized and open on the table. Preparation was a nightmare within a nightmare. Reading through everything was difficult, to say the least.

The filters and other attachments were still packed in their boxes. You have no idea when or how to use them, since nothing about color filters had been mentioned before.

The only thing keeping you away from a crime is your music taste.

He begged you to let him try out the telescope. Saying yes was the obviously correct choice.

Bouncing off the walls, absolutely insane, buzzing with excitement-

You had to pull yourself together and hush up about his bad boy image. So, so much self-control.

Donnie is so happy that he doesn’t have to wait for the telescope to cool down. He’s very appreciative of the drinks as well.

However,…

“I should have brought my heat lamp with me…”

“That would’ve defeated the whole idea of me putting it outside to cool off.”

“Dramatic sigh. Correct.”

This dude entirely disregards the manuals.

Walks away like they mean nothing to him. Which they don’t.

“Are you sure you don’t want to look through those?”

“Trash! It’s more like advertisement than instruction anyways.”

“Amen to that. I spent three hours looking up the terms they used.”

“That’s just a skill issue, and one that I do not have!”

Despite your apparent skill issue, he’s surprisingly patient when it comes to explaining what each little piece does and why it’s built in. His expertise was sadly not enough, as few pieces made him scrunch up his face in confusion.

The look of disappointment on his face as you finally convince him to look at the instruction manuals is comedy gold. It took you several minutes to stop laughing.

He didn’t want to look at the manuals anymore.

Donnie was quick to find decent explanations online, hidden in some wacky corner of the web that you were mildly suspicious of.

Whatever he read apparently did the trick.

You can actually see things now. And the filters are used for something important! You honestly just played around with them a bit, and took pictures on your phone. A totally violet Donnie wasn’t something you thought you needed, yet here you were.

You can confidently say you’ve seen Venus and Mars through a telescope.

Donnie even helped you find some constellations in the vast night sky. In a very meticulous and mathematical way, but hey, at least Gemini was fun to find.

You get to talking about the Andromeda galaxy for so long that your drinks partially froze over.

Taking everything back inside was so much easier with a helping hand.

Donnie decided to stay the night, meaning musicals and intense debates over miniscule junk.

You appreciate his company, even if astronomy wasn’t involved.

The two of you start getting ready for bed after the neighbors complained about your karaoke session.

“Regrets are for the weak.”

“I’m so weak dude, I can’t even.”

“Then cower.”

Best goodnight words in the history of goodnight words.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate it!

I'm only on season 2, so I'm not sure if it actually happens.

But like in 2012 TMNT Donnie has metal head which is pretty much his child, and then there's the 2018 rise Donnie who has Sheldon who's pretty much his child, and they're all like sentient at that point. Like metalhead and Sheldon make it to like sentient level consciousness at one point. I've gotten very angry with 2003 Donatello because none of the turtles realize that nano has like the mental state of a 3-year-old and is sentient. That is basically his child, should be basically his child just like metalhead and sheldon. Like each iteration has a sentient robotic child. I'm just glad that season 2 they bring him back and hopefully, I haven't finished the episode yet, is at least put on a better path because nano deserves so much better and I would love to adopt him if Donatello does not.

this audio is what immediately came to mind upon seeing this post

ignore the fact that I was getting lazy at the end orz

(Garden Donnie [2012] is mine, Grunge Donnie [2018] belongs to @knightish-knight )

2018 Donnie at 2012 Donnie: ew this is so cringe, guilty.

[bucket-of-nickels]

I can't stop drawing him

[squibbles-gubwee]

Went to the Bird Kingdom in Niagra falls and my spouse saw this sign and asked me to draw something.

I went a bit overboard.

I tried a few different styles for Donatello, but also got a bit tired. 

Anyway, last chapter was a bit rough. Enjoy the Sillies ™. Normal turtle Donnie, turtle tot Donnie, my design Donnie and something closer to the show.

[seasaltsylph]

Not seen is Leo just out of frame doing some high key dum-dum behavior.

Im trying out a new coloring technique in a really loose style as I continue to have my life taken over by animated turtles.
