Ok y’all, I had no fan art skills, so I am going to have to ask you to picture something for me, then go forth and make something more concrete. Ok? Can you do that?
Rottmnt Donetello + “Love Like You” from Steven Universe. If you don’t know the tune, here have a lyric vid.

I mean… is that not all his insecurities in one bundle???!? The poor boy struggles with emotion, but knows his family loves him and he feels good when they love him, and how the hell is he supposed to reciprocate that beyond his ingenious tech to help them out? And the ONE time he makes them individualized gifts he beefed it so frickin hard! This is Donny in witch town. This is Donny not realizing he is crying. This is Donny hanging a “congratulations you survived!” banner in an attempt at comfort after a traumatic event. This is Donatello loving his family, even as he struggles to understand what love means.
Please… someone just make me an amv.
Other idea: any and all iterations of Raphael trying to calm down to “Here Comes a Thought” from Steven Universe.
Any iteration of him trying to conquer his anger makes me so happy and with flashbacks would make an excellent amv. I can also just see a crossover situation of all of them meditating in a circle with Rise Mikey softly singing this to them. I am tearing up just thinking about it.
Again, if you don’t know the tune, have a lyric video. Also… this legitimately works for meditation, I have used it myself on loop, and used it to teach children.
