Donatello's Inspirations

Rise Ramblings #91

So, I’ve noticed that Donatello has a habit of being inspired by what he sees and adopting those aspects into himself.

This system of integration is most prevalent when it comes to the people he loves or admires.

Take one of his favorite stims, for instance.  

You don’t have to look too far to find that phrase's source.

He admires and loves his Papa, thus one of his dad’s favorite sayings is one of his favorites as well.

This aspect of incorporation also extends to his beloved heroes.

One of my favorite examples are his signature eyebrows.

He didn’t have them, then he did. We know that he started drawing them on nine years ago (with a sharpie, lol) but I wonder where he got the idea for the eyebrows in the first place…

Before he knew that Lou Jitsu was his father, Donnie had already incorporated the man’s eyebrows into his mask. Therefore, one can argue that the adoption of Lou’s well-coiffed brows was not due to a simple familial bond. Instead, Donnie just wanted to be more like his hero, Lou Jitsu (and thought the brows were cool, lol.)

However, that’s not the only hero Donatello took inspiration from.

always happy about the fact that in 2012, mikey often asked donnie questions if he didn't understand something and donnie always answered no matter what

this can be seen in a bunch of episodes but my favorite example of it it's the one in half shell heroes where mikey is extremely excited to be in the museums and is the one actively asking donnie questions about the exhibits they saw and also actively listening to donnie's explanation (before raph got silly lmao). he was very excited to learn!!!

And while it's true that mikey would lose interest quite fast if the explanation got too lengthy with too many technical terms, it doesn't change the fact that he does retain the info donnie is always rambling on about different things!!! (even if mikey himself doesn't notice he's doing it lol) and also i find it very sweet that no matter if donnie himself got annoyed, donnie would always answer the questions. no matter what. he would always try to explain if he didn't understand something

This is prob because mikey is the one brother who is often seeking out donnie to pass time around him Meaning that donnie might have used mikey as his rubber ducky whenever mikey hangs out with him while he's working (explained him a lot of his experiments and theories while trying to solve them himself and in this way mikey also learnt in the process WHILE spending time with his brother! win win!)

it also helps donnie because accompanies him while not letting him get lonely in his lab 24/7, sometimes explaining things to someone makes it better to understand it yourself AND it's shown in the comics that donnie is quite used to his brothers just Living as background noise and literally cannot function without it lmao

They are literally the two smart kids in the family even if none of them notice it and it's all because mikey looks up to his brother and is like an sponge with donnie around. donnie is actively teaching mikey and mikey is learning! even if they have no idea they are doing it

it's late one night, James and Regulus lying in bed. Regulus is tucked into James's side, face hiding in the crook of his neck. The lights are out, they should be asleep. They almost are, hovering right in front of it, eyes heavy and voices sluggish.

"I want a body that has only ever been touched on purpose," Regulus finds himself whispering, always braver in the dark. James hums understandingly. "Or maybe," he tries again, voice barely there. "Maybe I just don't want a body at all."

My AU kids on their (seperate) first day of school.

Since they are German, they're holding "Zuckertüten/Schultüten", which you get once you're a soon-to-be first grader. They're filled with candies, school supplies (like pencils) and even small toys. :>

"Speaking of naps, it was a wonderful thing to wake up to-- What is it again? Cannibalism, hornets and taxidermy... all in that order..."

"That was sarcasm by the way."

[melonlthawne]

do you think Mel and don would’ve taken little Bart to Disney/their universe’s/time variant of Disney or theme park? The thought of little Bart being super excited to meet rapunzel and wearing a little outfit and everything is making me all giggly

Oh btw idk where to put it but I am NOT single, I've been dating someone for almost a year and I love her so don't tell me you love me romantically I will call you a creep and I will laugh at you

-oogle boogle it's my interests-

For games, I like Project Moon and Pop'n Music the most, but there's a lot more...too much to list...

For music, I like Tally Hall and all their other projects/related acts, but I also like Weezer and Will Wood. There's many other bands I love, but yet again, so many that there's too much to list.

For stuff that isn't games or music, I like animatronics! I enjoy looking into other animatronics, but I really like CEC and Showbiz Pizza's respective animatronic bands!

For stuff that isn't fandom-specific, I draw, I sometimes sing, I sometimes write stuff, I voice act, and I rarely stream! You know who @donquivtuber is? That's me.

Alright that MIIIIGHT be it for interests, let's move on!

On His Own Terms

Rise Ramblings #2

In my post, “This Whole Situation,” I discuss how Donnie doesn’t see himself or his mutation as something that needs to be hidden away. He wears clothes when he's out and about, and that’s about it. However, as turtlemen in the middle of NYC, sometimes they need to actually wear disguises. So, what does Donnie do in those cases?

Old ladies? Well, that’s a choice. And the way Leo phrased the question is interesting as well.

“Why do you always make us dress up as old ladies.”

This means that every time it’s up to Donnie to choose the disguise, it’s not up for discussion. They’re going to be old ladies. Period.

But the most interesting part of this scene is Donatello's answer to Leo's question.

You would think that blending in would be the main goal, but no. Donnie’s main goal with his chosen disguise is: comfort. He’s not willing to sacrifice his own comfort just to make other people comfortable with his presence.

He’ll wear a disguise if he must, but only on his own terms.

And I’m happy that he can set his boundary and stick to it.

Never change, Donnie, never change…

○○○○

…Does anyone else see Leo’s old lady drip?! Where did he get those pearls from? Forget the pearls, where did he get the pantyhose? Did he style his own wig? How long did it take for him to put on his makeup? What color eyeshadow is that? Look at those lashes! Look at those bazongas! He put so much work into his fit, no wonder he received a compliment.

as much as it is rather sad it is also kind of funny that leporello in his first aria is like “i wish i was rich” and then all of his desires that he would enact If he were a nobleman are things like. ample food. stable sleep schedule. not being forced out into the rain in the middle of the night
